Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 536

The sun hung in the western sky, shedding its last rays.The clouds in the sky are not thick, layer upon layer, changing wonderful colors.

In the yard, the banquet has already been set up.Wang Xiaolie and Wang Ruohai were the hosts, seeing off the soldiers who were about to go to Hedong.

Jiang Min will be the head of the recruiting envoy built on Hedong Road, and other officials will also be assigned.After careful consideration, Wang Xiaolie decided not to assign political officials to Jiang Min for the time being.That is the configuration of the regular army, and Hedong is not suitable now.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, everyone took their seats.

Fang Cheng, the upcoming deputy envoy, is also the commander-in-chief of the expedition.Cao Mo, Chief of Staff.Zheng Xiaolin, commander of the left.The horse group, the right commander.Xiao Tang, secretary in charge.These few people have one thing in common, they are the children of civilians, and they all joined the army after Wang Xiaohun arrived in Xiangyang.Among them, Fang Cheng, Cao Mo, and Xiao Tang were originally from Hedong, and they fled to Dengzhou.

Filled with wine, Wang Xiaolie raised his glass and said, "You go to the front line to fight. I will see you off today, and I specially drank strong alcohol. I don't like to drink strong alcohol. But it is different in the army. Strong alcohol It is worthy of the bloody wind on the battlefield!"

When you're done, drink it up.

The five stood up together, raised their glasses, and drank with their heads up.

Let everyone sit down, Wang Xiaolie said: "Sit down. It is a great thing for you to go to Hedong. The establishment of the base area marks that we are about to counterattack, and the situation in Xiangyang has reached a turning point. Don't be restrained tonight, let's say something honestly."

After finishing speaking, pour wine for everyone and persuade the food attentively.

Wang Xiaolie is not a person who pays attention to food. As long as the food tastes good and has no peculiar smell, it is best to match the season.It is autumn now, and there are big fish and big meat on the table.Tofu box, stewed chicken with chestnuts, Sixi meatballs, steamed pork ribs, braised mutton, roasted rice field eel, pork slices with soup, steamed bream, etc. There are also cold lotus root slices, cold cucumbers, stir-fried mung bean sprouts and mushrooms and green vegetables. .

After eating for a while, everyone was a little full and a little drunk.Remove a few meat dishes, and bring up raisins, walnuts, persimmons, broad beans and other snacks.There is a stove next to it, and the soldiers are cutting up the meat and roasting it.

Wang Xiaolie said: "When I first came to Xiangyang, I thought it was the enemy's rear, and we had to follow the methods of the enemy's rear. I soon found out that it was not. The Jin army had no intention of occupying the Central Plains, and there were no officials stationed in large areas of land. It took a few years , peace and security, occupying more than a dozen states and counties. Our army's combat effectiveness is not bad, and no one around has been able to fight. Now, as long as the puppet Qi does not attack aggressively, our place is very peaceful. Several big battles, I still lead the troops In other places, we went south and went north to fight against the Jin army. It has been three years, and our strength is not as good as before, so we need to think more about it."

Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai means to go north to capture the Luoyang area. There are several difficulties. One is that Zhai Xing's troops are separated in the middle, and Zhai Xing is the prefect of Henan Prefecture. Zhai Xing is a local tyrant in Luoyang, not Li Dutong. Comparable. In Zhai Xing’s eyes, when our army goes north, it’s like doves are occupying the magpie’s nest. There must be many contradictions. This matter can only be discussed slowly with Zhai Xing. If it is occupied by us, the puppet Qi will cut off its connection with Shaanxi, and it will inevitably die forever. In this way, Hedong Road is the key."

Fang Chengdao: "Jie Shuai has an order, we will definitely die!"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "Don't be so serious. Let's have a casual chat tonight, so that you can understand."

Fang Chengdao: "We soldiers only know how to obey military orders!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "This time when I went to Hedong Road, I only knew that it was not enough to obey the military orders. Because of this, before I leave, I want to chat with you again. Fighting in the enemy's rear is completely different from here, you You have to be mentally prepared.”

Wang Ruohai said: "You don't have to be so cautious. Jie Shuai came to you to talk about the difficulties you will encounter after arriving in Hedong, and what you should do. Try to relax as much as possible. If you have any doubts, you can raise them."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Jiang Min is the one who decides what is going on in Hedong. Jiang Min was originally from Xinyang Town, Mizhou, Jingdong Road. He went into business with his father, and was exiled because of the Jin army's attack on Kaifeng. I met me when I was in Tangzhou. It's a pity to see him so intelligent, so he was sent to the military academy in Xinye. You all know what happened afterwards. He memorized everything that other people need to learn for a few years, which is unmatched. Such talents will not be buried in anyone. But I think that learning is not just memorization, the most important thing is to see what you have learned. When Zhuge Kongming was in Longzhong, Shi Guangyuan, Xu Yuanzhi, and Meng Gongwei who traveled with him You must be proficient in reading, and Kong Ming only sees its general outline. Why? There are not so many reasons. In fact, most of the content in the books we read is useless. What is really useful is only a few sentences. You can understand it at a glance These few sentences are useful, and there is no need to be proficient in the book. Different people will see these few sentences differently, so it’s enough to just read the outline.”

Speaking of this, Wang Ruohai couldn't help but smile wryly.Among the contemporaries, Wang Ruohai was regarded as a leader with quick thinking and immortal reading.But compared with Wang Xiaolie's reading, he has become a veteran of searching for chapters and excerpting sentences.

Wang Xiaolie reads books, and rarely finishes them all at once.They are often picked up and turned over casually, then put aside.After a while, I accidentally remembered something and looked it up again.However, every time he talks about it, it is often Wang Xiaolie who can explain the meaning of the book clearly.

Zhuge Liang only reads the book to see its general outline, and the meaning in "Wei Lue" must be proficient in reading, and several other people are not as good as him.This made people of later generations very puzzled, and they came up with many explanations to explain it, saying that Zhuge Liang's general meaning was not inexperienced.Some people even say that Zhuge Liang's general idea is to be proficient first.

Are you Zhuge Liang?Are you as smart as Zhuge Liang?You need to be proficient in reading, but Zhuge Liang doesn't need it. "Wei Lue" makes it very clear that Zhuge Liang hugs his knees calmly and screams every morning and evening.Very calm, not like studying hard.

In fact, most books do not require proficiency.Unless it is novels, poems and the like, it really attracts me.In most books, methods such as metaphors, exaggerations, induction, and deduction are unnecessary, and you can completely ignore them.The most important part is often just a few words.It is only because people who read the book are difficult to understand that there is a lot of content.Zhuge Liang doesn't need these, he just needs to look at the conclusion and be able to understand the conclusion, why should he be proficient?Just look at it roughly.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Learning, I have always believed that two things are the most important. The first is to learn and know what to learn. The second is to be able to come out and not be entangled by the knowledge learned. Jiang Min is naturally intelligent. , often with a photographic memory. Others see him as smart, but in my eyes, I don’t know if he has learned it. It was not until later that he worked under Wang Senshi for several years and found that he was indeed doing fine work, which was unmatched by others. I know it’s a talent. Now at Hedong Road, it’s not enough to learn it, you have to be able to come out. Can Jiang Min come out? To be honest, I don’t know the bottom of my heart! So when you go to Hedong, I have to repeatedly ask, don’t screwed things up."

Fang Cheng and the others hurriedly crossed their hands: "I would like to listen to Jieshuai's teaching!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled wryly and shook his head: "I have nothing to teach you, it's just reasoning. Whether the reasoning makes sense and whether you can understand it is another matter."

After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass, and Wang Xiaolie had a drink with everyone

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai and sighed slightly.

Even Wang Ruohai, who was by Wang Xiaolie's side, was confused, let alone others?

Wang Xiaolie said: "To put it bluntly, it's just that the difficulties we encountered were too great to explain, so we had to do this. In the past, it was said that the emperor was ordered by the sky, acting on behalf of the herdsmen, and the officials assisted the emperor. But what is the sky? If God is virtuous, how can he watch his people suffer? This time the Jin army invaded the south, not only broke the Kaifeng mansion, the two emperors hunted north, I don’t know how many clans moved north, but also the people? The north is the Central Plains, which used to be The most prosperous place in the world. But now? How many states and counties are thousands of miles away, many wives are scattered, and how many people are left with only a pair of bones! Faced with this kind of tragedy, how can God feel so bad! If God has eyes, how can This way? At this time, no matter what the reason is, God is not reliable, so we can only find the destiny by ourselves. Where can we find it? The so-called ritual failure can only be found among the people."

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie watched the full moon rise slowly.Clear and bright, the moonlight like water sprinkles on the world

And all other knowledge is full of illusion.At least in this day and age, it doesn't do much

Thinking about it now, most of the previous knowledge is actually useless.It's like waiting for a boat on the river, seeing a thousand boats but not waiting for the one.

"Thousands of sails are not enough, the slanting glow is flowing and the water is long."
