I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 411 Wei Qing: Isn’t it a simple matter to read military books?

The Wei Mansion is not spacious.

Even though Wei Qing's study was in the innermost room, Chen Luoyi only had to walk thirty or forty steps to reach the place.

After a while.

Wei Qing heard the door being knocked gently and said without raising his head: "Sister, what's the matter?"

After all, the only one who knocked on the door before entering the study room at home was my sister. If Huo Qubing had anything to do, he would just push the door open and then quickly run to her side.

But when he heard the footsteps of the visitor entering the door, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

This step is heavier than my sister's.

Then Wei Qing suddenly raised his head and met Chen Luo's smiling eyes.

"Brother Wei, long time no see. How are you?"

"I've met the Weixin Marquis, Boyu, why are you here?" Wei Qing stood up and saluted.

This can be said to be his unique way of greeting.

After others said "I have met the Weixin Marquis", they either addressed Chen Luo by his official title or directly addressed him as the Weixin Marquis. However, after Wei Qing said hello, he naturally switched to "Boyu". .

It's really the only one.

This was because Chen Luo reminded Wei Qing of the address issue several times, which led him to choose such a compromise.

Chen Luo smiled and said nothing more.

He leaned forward slightly, glanced at the opposite plan slip, and suddenly said: "You are reading "The Art of War of Huaiyin"."

It's just that the "Huaiyin Art of War" that Wei Qing is reading now is not the new version written by Han Xin, but one of several that Chen Luo found from his previous collection and lent it to Wei Qing.

"That's right." Wei Qing nodded lightly and said with emotion, "When I read "Huaiyin Art of War", I found that the military strategy is vast, imaginary and real, like an immortal or an illusion. If an ordinary person wants to learn it, I'm afraid it will take a long time. In my whole life, I will never be able to get a glimpse of the door. Even if I try my best and get a glimpse of the door for the first time, I will never be able to cross the simplest threshold."

After Chen Luo listened, he nodded with approval.

You must know that before reading "Huaiyin Art of War", the opponent had never been in the army and had been exposed to military camps, military tactics, and battle formations.

It is quite difficult for him to understand some of the proper terms in the military books.

What's more, "Huaiyin Art of War" is not an introductory teaching.

The first few editions of "Huaiyin Bingshu" written by Han Xin were intended for Chen Luo to read, so the difficulty of understanding them was not too high. Even so, it took Chen Luo several years to read them through.

As for the versions of "Huaiyin Bingshu" that Han Xin later wrote, they were just personal hobbies, often to elaborate on his own thoughts and express all the wonderful ideas in his mind in writing.

Even generals who have experienced battles for a long time have a very difficult time learning and understanding Han Xin's tactics.

What's more, when a large army fights, one move affects the whole body, and all aspects of the affairs need to be taken into consideration. If there is a slight oversight, I am afraid that one step or step will be wrong, causing the situation to completely collapse.

Therefore, if you want to use the tactics conceived by Han Xin, you often need a general to be careful and understand the situation well.

It just so happened that the volumes of "Huaiyin Art of War" that Chen Luo brought to Wei Qing were all later versions.

Pursing his lips, he expressed relief, "If you think "Huaiyin Art of War" is too difficult, it's normal. After all, the Marquis of Huaiyin probably didn't want to teach it to beginners. The content in it is confusing and difficult to understand. It’s not a strange thing, but if you really find it too difficult, I still have an article called “The Question of King Xiang” at my house. I’ll bring it to you when the time comes.”

This is just like in a martial arts novel, Wei Qing has not even learned the basic skills and has no internal strength, so he is asked to directly use the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. Isn't it embarrassing?

Thinking of this, Chen Luo rubbed his chin.

I still didn't think enough about it.

"Huh? Ah, this..." Wei Qing responded, looking a little weird.

Chen Luo observed his expression and thought it was because he was embarrassed to accept the "The Questions of King Xiang". He took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. The reason why the book "The Questions of King Xiang" has not been circulated among the people is It's because there is only one version, and if you want to learn King Chu Wulie's tactics, you are first limited by your physical fitness, so not many people can learn it.

However, it was inherited from the Marquis of Yangxia, so there is no doubt about its authenticity. Moreover, the questions and answers between Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia and King Wulie of Chu in the book can answer some of your doubts about the basic knowledge of military strategy.

Compared with "The Art of War of Huaiyin", this book "The Questions of King Xiang" is more suitable for your introduction to military strategy, allowing you to have a simple understanding of weapons. "

Therefore, he strongly recommended this book "The Question of King Xiang", leaving no room for Wei Qing to refuse.

If you want to practice internal strength first, then there is no problem starting from this book "The Question of King Xiang".

"Actually..." Wei Qing's eyes drifted slightly to the side and he coughed, "Actually, Boyu, I think "Huaiyin Art of War" is difficult to understand, but I have already learned a general idea. I just want to not be like that Zhao Kuo It’s the same, just talk on paper.”

Why did he begin to feel distressed?

Because when Wei Qing was reading "Huaiyin Art of War", Han Xin explained all the contents of marching and fighting in detail. It took a long time to understand it, and it was written in such detail that he mistakenly thought that this book of war was a military book. Introductory textbook.

I studied an introductory textbook on military strategy by myself, and it took me two or three months to get a little bit of experience. Isn’t that considered a gift?

But Chen Luo had just told Wei Qing that this "Huaiyin Art of War" was not a basic textbook, but a tactic that countless generals could not fully control after spending most of their lives fighting.

This gave Wei Qing instant confidence. Good guy, it turns out I'm not that bad.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal if you don't understand. You know, the first year I got this military book, I was completely in the fog. I could only fumble..." Chen Luo rambled, then suddenly paused, "What are you talking about?" ?”

Wei Qing blinked and said nothing.

Raising his head, Chen Luo sighed softly.

"Do you remember what I just said?"

"remember……"

"Ok?"

"...Ahem, I can't remember. Boyu, what did you just say? Did you lend me a copy of "The Questions of King Xiang"? Then I'd like to thank you first." Wei Qing spoke righteously and answered in a straight and clear tone. .

Chen Luo nodded and just wanted to hold his forehead and smile bitterly.

In the future, I would rather not use myself as an example to compare with him in terms of military strategy.

In the original history, due to the contrast between Huo Qubing, who was only a weak man at a young age, that is, riding a horse in the grassland, and being sealed as a wolf, and Wei Qing, who was low-key and cautious, it seemed that he was not that talented.

But you need to know that when he was young, he was just a shepherd boy and a domestic servant. He had no chance to learn military strategy. However, from officially serving as a general to commanding an army in battle, less than a year passed. He made great contributions in the first battle and was granted the title of marquis. .

Spending three or four months carefully studying a book of war and thinking about it clearly was not a problem at all for Wei Qing.

If this military book was not written by Han Xin, I am afraid Wei Qing would have thoroughly studied it.

However, in Chen Luo's eyes, Wei Qing's talent was quite outrageous.

You must know that in martial arts novels, if someone has never even practiced internal skills, and then spends three to five months to directly learn the moves of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, readers will probably think that the author came up with such a plot when he had a cerebral hemorrhage. , the protagonist’s halo is not like this.

It’s just that reality doesn’t require such strict logic.

Just like in the world of martial arts, there are also "immortal cultivators" like Shi Potian.

Wei Qing has such a bug.

Chen Luo rubbed his brows lightly and said slowly: "I underestimated you, but you can also read "The Question of King Xiang" when the time comes. It has unique ideas about cavalry combat, and you can learn from it.

But if you are worried that you are just talking on paper and have no practical experience, don’t worry.

You stay in your current position for two or three years. When His Majesty has the idea to take action against the Huns, I will recommend you to lead the army in battle. Then you can know the tactics by comparing the art of war on the battlefield. When should it be adopted? I have my own judgment criteria. "

This is what Chen Luo thinks.

What comes out on paper is ultimately shallow.

Things that have been planned ten thousand times in the mind will not be exactly the same when implemented, and will be more or less deformed.

But as long as the "deformation" that occurs does not affect the implementation of the plan, there is actually no serious problem.

It's just that many people only conceive plans in their minds. When they find that the plan deviates slightly, their minds begin to panic.

If the executor does not believe that his plan can succeed, at that time, even the slightly deformed plan will rush towards the abyss of destruction.

Chen Luo encountered such a situation when he led his troops deep behind enemy lines during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

Originally, he just wanted to rely on guerrilla warfare to harass Jing and Changsha in Lujiang.

Unexpectedly, the opponent became anxious and directly mobilized the main army to encircle and suppress him. In the end, he had no choice but to adapt to the change and switch to a deadly fight, letting Guan Fu lead the remaining soldiers to retreat, preserving as much of his strength as possible.

Of course, judging from the overall battle situation, his performance is still remarkable.

Because of the harassment of such an army, the southern rebels never reached south of the Huaihe River. The front end only lingered near the Yangtze River and failed to achieve much success.

Wei Qing nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

However, the two of them could not continue their conversation when they heard Huo Qubing's voice coming from the door, "Uncle, Uncle Chen, grandma's dumplings are cooked. She asked me to come over and let you know. If the matter is over, let's go now." You can go eat.”

"Okay." Chen Luo and Wei Qing looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"My sister is very good at making dumplings. But in the past, she couldn't afford meat, so the fillings were all vegetarian. Yesterday, she bought three kilograms and six ounces of front leg meat specifically for making dumplings. Boyu, you This is a blessing." Wei Qing's eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Chen Luo laughed and said: "Then I'm looking forward to it, how delicious these dumplings are."

The things they wanted to discuss had almost been discussed, so tasting the dumplings had become the highlight now.
