The rise of the poor

Chapter 872
In the afternoon, there was nothing to do in Wuyi Hall, so Zhu Pingan simply poured a cup of tea, sat in his seat and watched "The Art of War by Sun Tzu".

"Sun Tzu said: "Where the army meets the enemy: the mountains are close to the valley, and the place of life is high. The battle is high and there is no climb. The army of the mountain is also here. The water must be far away; the guest comes from the water, do not welcome him in the water. If you want to fight, you don’t have to be attached to the water to meet the guests; if you look at the height of your life, you don’t have to meet the current of the water, so here is an army on the water.”

This is "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Terrain". Zhu Pingan felt more and more exquisite the more he read it. While watching it, he recalled the battles in history in his mind. He extracted the battle cases involving terrain and compared them with "Terrain" The principle in it, the more you compare it, the more broad and profound it feels.

Terrain is so important to warfare, whether in ancient times or modern times, if you can't make good use of terrain, you can't be a good general.

Of course, learning its meaning, not its shape, and studying "Terrain" does not mean that you must follow the "Terrain" to form an array, but use the terrain flexibly according to the actual situation.Han Xin's last stand is exactly the opposite of "those who want to fight, welcome guests without being attached to water" in "Terrain", but they also achieved a great victory.

"Hehe, Zihou is very interested in military affairs. It seems that my Ming Dynasty will have another good minister and Confucian general who is both literary and military."

Li Chunfang finished writing a green poem, and found that Zhu Pingan was reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" seriously, so she couldn't help but joked with a smile.

Both literary and martial arts? !
Another official in the same room couldn't help but chuckle after hearing Li Chunfang's words, "Master Li, you are concentrating on writing and didn't pay attention, you are so generous to him, since after lunch, after opening "Sun Tzu's Art of War", to I haven’t turned the pages yet, and I closed my eyes for half a day.”

Although the official didn't say it directly, everyone knew that Zhu Pingan fell asleep when he read "The Art of War" just now.
Uh

I was recalling the battle examples in history, comparing
However, Zhu Pingan didn't explain, just laughed.Books are for reading to yourself, not for others.

However, with a simple and honest face, he smiled as if he was embarrassed by someone's right.

There was a chuckle in the room.

"Why are you laughing, so happy." An official came in with a document in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Mr. Zhao is here, but what orders does Mr. Yan Ge have?" Li Chunfang got up and greeted the visitor, and asked with a smile.

Mr. Zhao has been in Wuyi Diansi for several years, and has been working under Yan Song. He can be regarded as one of Yan Song's secretaries.

"It's not a big deal, but there is an award document, please polish it up, it will be issued in the next two days with a seal." Master Zhao said softly, and then handed over the document in his hand to Li Chunfang.

"Lord Zhao, you're being polite. It's my duty, so why bother?" Li Chunfang finished the paperwork and shook his head with a smile.

"Master Zhao, please have some tea."

Another official in the room said, reaching out to pour a cup of tea.

"No need, I still have to go to Mr. Wang's. I won't drink tea." Mr. Zhao smiled and shook his head, then said a few words to Li Chunfang, waved his hand to Zhu Pingan and others, and left went.

"Whose award document is this? Elder Yan Ge has personally seen it." Another official in the room curiously took the document from Li Chunfang and unfolded it to read.

"Hehe, it's a coincidence, Zihou can take a look at it. Maybe in the future, we will draft such a commendation document for you." The official read the document after unfolding it, and couldn't help laughing. Handed the document to Zhu Pingan.

What do you mean?
Zhu Pingan took the document curiously and looked around.

Ok

After reading the document, Zhu Pingan understood why he said that, because this document is a military award document. Wasn't he just reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which happened to be related to this.

The general idea of ​​this document is: Three months ago, Na Yan, the chief of the Limin tribe in Wuzhishan, Qiongzhou, rebelled, and also colluded with the Limin in Ganshan and Changhua.Ouyang Bijin, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, remained calm in the face of danger, commanded from the center, and calmly mobilized elite soldiers and generals to fight against the rebellion.Because the governor Ouyang Bijin was able to mobilize troops well, command well, and lure the enemy into deep. He succeeded in the first battle, beheaded more than 700 thieves, and recruited more than [-] people.After the victory, Ouyang Bijin, in order to avoid future troubles forever, regardless of personal safety, willingly took the risk to go to the Limin Center alone to make an agreement with the Limin, treat the Limin as Han people, and establish a town.The Li people surrendered wholeheartedly, vowed never to rebel, and moved out of the mountains to live.As a result, the people's stubborn diseases were eliminated, and Hainan was stable.

Ouyang must enter?

This name is very familiar.

After reading it, Zhu Pingan was slightly taken aback, then twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Come to think of it, isn't Ouyang Bijin the father of Ouyang Zishi, the brother-in-law of Yan Song Yange.

My brother-in-law has made military achievements, and Mr. Yan Ge has seen it in person, so it makes sense.

Zhu Ping'an didn't have much impression of Ouyang Bijin, but he knew that Ouyang Bijin had a good reputation in history, at least much better than Yan Song.This person seems to be an ancient scientist. In order to solve the problem of lack of animal power caused by the cattle plague, he researched and invented the human tillage machine. It is said that "the power of one person and one hand is equivalent to two cattle", but it is a pity that it was not popularized and developed. Also lost.

But it seems that Ouyang Bijin has never heard of Ouyang Bijin's talent and achievements in military affairs.

But according to this document, Ouyang Bijin was a well-known general of the Jiajing Dynasty.

If Ouyang Bijin was so powerful, how could he be missing in the eradication of Japanese pirates later? Qi Jiguang and the others are not the only famous generals who fought against Japanese pirates in history.

wrong
Zhu Pingan unfolded the document again, read it carefully, and intuitively told him that the document was not that simple.

Read it again carefully.

Zhu Pingan noticed that in this document, there were only two names, one was Na Yan, the leader of the bandit, and the other was Ouyang Bijin.In other words, Ouyang Bijin is the only one who owes all the credit for countering the rebellion.

Of course this is not normal.

Ouyang Bijin is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he belongs to the feudal officials. He should not personally lead troops to fight against the rebellion.

After reading it carefully again, Zhu Pingan noticed the sentence "Mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals to fight against the rebellion" in the document.This sentence can be understood as Ouyang Bijin mobilizing elite soldiers and strong generals to fight against the rebellion, or it can also be understood as Ouyang Bijin dispatched one or several excellent generals to lead the troops to fight the rebellion.

However, most people will understand it according to the first meaning.

Zhu Pingan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Well, this poor "strong general". I just don't know who it is.

"Others carry a sword, but my pen is like a knife." Through this document, Zhu Ping'an has a deeper understanding of the word pen like a knife.

This document is not necessarily written by Ouyang Bijin, but it must have something to do with Yan Song.

Ginger is still old and spicy.
