Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 14
Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were the only two in the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Miss Cai Yan, sit down, I'm bothering you so late, I have something to ask you about your brother." Cao Ren was polite at first, and took the initiative to help Cai Yan bring a bamboo chair.

"Where, since my late father died in Chang'an, my sister and brother have nowhere to turn to, and my brother and the generals are already grateful for taking us in. If the two generals have any doubts, Cai Yan must know everything here. "

Cai Zhaoji's remarks were soft and slow, which made people very comfortable to hear.

Cao Ren took the initiative to speak: "Ms. Cai Yan's younger brother, teaching "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has also benefited Miao Cai and me a lot! Young Master Lu Yu taught Miao Cai's hundreds of cavalry tactics, and these hundreds of cavalry are invincible and invincible. K! Could it be that... didn't Young Master Lu tell Miss Cai Yan about this?"

This…

Cai Zhaoji hesitated for a moment. "If the general asks about his understanding of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Yudi also shared some with me. What Yudi mentions most is 'the upper armies are attacked, the second is the cross, the second is the army, and the lower is attacking the city' , Brother Yu always said that fighting a war requires wisdom, as long as you can get the biggest victory at the least cost, even if you don't fight, you will be happy if you do this thing?"

In fact, this is not what Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan asked about, but when Cai Zhaoji talked about it, they were suddenly curious and wanted to find out in detail. "How does Lu Yu understand these four sentences?
"Can Miss Cai Yan explain in detail?" Xia Houyuan asked proactively. It is true that he has some understanding of these sixteen words, but he has always been modest, more like listening to Lu Yu's opinions.

"Well..." Cai Zhaoji paused for a while, as if she was deliberately recalling it, and then said, "Brother Yu will cite an example at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the story of Yan Ying, an elder of the three dynasties of Qi in the late Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, this Yan Ying is less than six feet (1.38 meters) in length. He is not handsome in appearance, and the sea is incomparable. His stomach is full of strategy and wisdom!"

"Once again, Duke Ping of Jin wanted to send troops to destroy Qi, so he sent his doctor Fan Zhao to envoy Qi to see what was going on. When the envoy from Shang came, Duke Jing of Qi did not dare to neglect his hospitality. Everyone is a little drunk, so Fan Zhao used his wine to test Duke Qi Jing, 'Can I drink from your cup?' Generally speaking, this is a crime committed, but Duke Qi Jing did not dare to neglect the envoys of the upper country. I ordered the left and right to fill up the wine glass and give it to Mr. Fan, and this Fan Zhao was not polite and drank it all in one go."

"Just when Duke Jinggong was about to take this wine glass back, Yan Ying stood up. Brother Yu always said that Yan Ying stood as high as others sitting, but his voice was like a bell, and he immediately ordered the glass to be smashed. Broken, I gave the king a new cup! And Fan Zeng's face changed suddenly, he apologized repeatedly, saying that he was drunk, and he sat down with the strength of the wine and it was wrong!"

"This seems to be a bland banquet, but what it contains is the principle of 'the upper armies are attacked, the second is attacked, the second is attacked, and the lower is attacked'. Fan Zhao is testing Qi for Jin. Courage and strategy, everything was like this at first, but Yan Ying, who was more daring and strategy, saw through it. When he went back, he could only report truthfully, "The rulers and ministers of the state of Qi are united, and the ministers of the state of Qi have good plans. If they attack forcefully, There will be no good fruit to eat', and because of this, Duke Ping of Jin gave up the method of attacking Qi!"

"This is the story of 'Zanzuo' that Yudi always tells. The so-called 'Zanzu' is to cut off the tip of the enemy's knife, and the enemy's charge is stopped. The so-called 'Zanzu' is about wine. On the table, Yan Ying retreated the soldiers of Jin State, and resolved a war crisis without spending a single soldier or soldier. , spend small money to do big things, shouldn't 'battles' be fought like this?"

Hey…

Not to mention, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren benefited a lot from Cai Zhaoji's words. Originally, he came to ask for all the information about Lu Yu, but he never thought that he didn't ask this question, and let this young man teach him a good lesson.

It's a good one, and a good one is going to attack the army. In the blink of an eye, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren felt that they had a deeper understanding of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

"Great, great!" Cao Ren praised repeatedly... "Even in the usual conversation between Young Master Lu Yu and his elder sister, he would explain the mystery of this art of war, it's not easy!"

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan exchanged glances, this is a confirmation over and over again that Lu Yu is the right person!

Ha ha ha ha…

Cao Ren smiled and threw out the topic: "Miss Cai Yan, your brother's tactics and tactics are so powerful, but...I have something puzzled!"

"General Cao Ren, but it's okay to ask." Cai Zhaoji opened his mouth, still being polite.

Cao Ren's words came out one after another.

"According to legend, the Cai Mansion has thousands of volumes of books, and there are erudite people like Cai Lao and Cai Yan girl, who are full of eyes and ears. It's no problem that Lu Gongzi is full of poetry and books, but... Cai Lao and girl can teach him. Poetry, lyrics, songs, and fu, can't teach him the art of war and strategy, right? Who is Lu Gongzi who taught this art of war?"

Who is the teacher?

This issue is particularly important to Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan.

It should be noted that Dahan always pays attention to inheritance. Their tactics were learned from the elder brother Cao Cao. The elder brother Cao Cao's tactics were enlightened by "Tai Xue", formed during the conquest of the Yellow Turbans and under Huangpu Song!
During the Taixue period, the master who taught Cao Cao's art of war was Duan Jiong, one of the Liangzhou Sanming at that time, an expert in foreign warfare and an amateur in civil warfare!In contrast, Yuan Shao, who was one grade higher than Cao Cao in Taixue, was taught by Yang Qiu in his military class!As a result, Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in Guandu, and was dubbed by the people at the time that it was their teacher who was fighting.

Because Yuan Shao's teacher, Yang Qiu, was an expert in governance, and he was far inferior to Duan Jiong in leading troops to fight.

Pushing back to Lu Yu's side, his master must not be easy to teach such an outstanding young man.

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan pondered, if possible, they could even invite this "master" out of the mountain, which would be tantamount to a more severe cardiotonic for the eldest brother Cao Cao, who is now eager for talents.

However, Cai Zhaoji's words were like a basin of cold water.

"I'm ashamed to say that, even though it's poetry and books, it was taught by brother Lu Yu himself. A Weng is busy with court affairs and has no time to take care of his brother. At most, I can only call him occasionally, but since he was ten years old, I can no longer call him. ."

Cai Zhaoji continued. "As for the art of war, although it is unbelievable, but... he has never had a master. His literary talent and art of war are completely understood from books, and he can learn without a teacher! And Yudi likes reading the most! Every time I read any book, Even the obscure art of war can be mastered and unforgettable!"

Huo ... mastered it, never forget it!

Both Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were startled.

It's outrageous, speaking of it...it's outrageous enough that talented girl Cai Zhaoji couldn't call Lu Yu when she was ten years old, but...this art of war, strategy, self-taught, self-taught without a teacher, will never be forgotten!

The point is, Lu Yu is not just talking about soldiers on paper, there is a real example in front of him, and his strategy is feasible!

And this is a bit of a monster!

"About your brother's self-learning of the art of war?" Cao Ren asked anxiously, "Can Miss Cai Yan explain in detail?"

"I remember... At the age of nine, brother Lu Yu taught himself Guiguzi, Sima Fa, and Wei Liaozi;"

"When he was ten years old, he was already familiar with the Seven Books of Martial Arts, Wu Zi's Art of War, and Sun Tzu's Art of War;"

"At the age of 12, he began to study "Mozi" preparation chapter, "Six Secret Teachings", "Three Strategies"!"

"When he was 13 years old, he was already able to translate these military books. The translations he made...even the obscure military arts can be explained through in-depth and simple examples. Even a little girl like me can understand them at a glance. Just see!"

"Even when my father was alive, he once said that younger brother Lu Yu is a once-in-a-century military genius!"

Huo…

God!

Cai Zhaoji's words shocked Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to the ground.

If what she said is true, then... what Lu Yu has shown now is just a drop in the ocean, a tip of the vast knowledge.

At the age of 15, no one instructed, no one enlightened, completely self-taught... able to understand so many complicated works of military strategists!

How exaggerated!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan would never have believed it, and even if anyone reported such a thing, then... Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan would have to "lie about the military situation" and serve them with military sticks.

"Miss Cai Yan, what you said is true?" Cao Ren's eyes were like copper bells.

"It's true, for every military book, both generals can test my brother. If he can't answer, the little girl will be punished!" Cai Zhaoji affirmed.

call…

Another heavy exhalation sound!

At this moment, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were extremely complicated and excited.

Lu Yu... This must be a once-in-a-century genius, right?
The ancients believed in some ghosts and gods to some extent, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were no exception. For a moment, they even thought that Lu Yu was a powerful arm that God gave to his elder brother Cao Cao to achieve his hegemony!This is God's will!

The two of them were right and wrong, and Cai Zhaoji's words came one after another.

"By the way, I forgot to report to the two generals."

"When my younger brother was 15 years old, he mastered hundreds of military books and dictated a new volume of military books, which he said was more specific, more practical, and more operable! Named..."

Speaking of this, Cai Zhaoji paused. "It's called "36 Strategies", interpreted by Lu Yu's younger brother. I recorded it one by one and carefully stored it away."

While speaking, Cai Yan took out a thick roll of bamboo slips from his bosom, and the four big characters "36 Strategies" engraved on the periphery of the bamboo slips with a knife and pen emerged vividly, especially clearly.

Huo... This time, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren's eyes widened, and their mouths opened, looking incredible!
A young man who can parse Sun Tzu's Art of War so thoroughly, and understand the word "Quan" so thoroughly!A son who can explain in simple terms the true meaning of the "strife"!The art of war he wrote, summed up, and summed up... How can people not be tempted?
This is full of curiosity, full of thirst for knowledge!

Immediately open the "36 Strategies"

Inside the bamboo slips, the handwriting is delicate and beautiful, which was engraved by Cai Zhaoji himself, and the words inside are like the handwriting engraved on the outside.
Slowly unfolding, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren's eyes were completely fixed on these writings...

But what they paid attention to was different.

Xia Houyuan was particularly curious about the strategies in "36 Strategies" such as "Crossing the Sea", "Crossing the Bottom", and "Capturing the Thieves and the King". What I care about are these strategies related to "speed" and "sprint".

Cao Ren's temperament is a little slower. The strategies he has read successively are "waiting for work", "mainly counteracting customers", and "closing the door to catch thieves". These strategies are more defensive. The tactics are quite suitable!
But... without exception, at this moment, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were happy.

It was as if a whole new world had opened up in front of them!

Weird, yet so dazzling, dazzling, and dazzling!
