Ji Tang

Chapter 130 Hot eyes and disappointment

But thinking that these are the treasures cultivated by that boy Ji Song, it is not easy to take these people out of his hands.

Thinking of this, he had a headache. The treasure was right in front of him, but he couldn't get it into his bowl. Is there anything more tragic than this in the world?
The eldest grandson was right in front of her. How could she not understand the thoughts of the person next to her?
Just when she was about to say something, Pingyang took the lead and said, "Second brother and sister-in-law, it's better not to hit them."

The expressions of Li Shimin and Changsun were stagnant, and they obviously looked a little unhappy: "What? I gave them the opportunity to serve the Tang Dynasty, and have I wronged them?"

Pingyang didn't boo, and said: "Second brother, why don't you look at how old they are? You think they are all Ji Song! According to that kid, they are still half-finished products, have not completed their studies, and are too young. It’s not time to become an official yet.”

"Uh!"

Only then did Li Shimin realize that the oldest boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was too young.That kid Ji Song cannot be treated with common sense, he is just an exception.

"Erlang is indeed a little impatient. Third sister is right, ungrown seedlings cannot withstand the wind and rain. We were deceived by their temperament just now. If we try to encourage them, it will only destroy them." Changsun advised.

Li Shimin looked at the outstanding young men below and could only sigh secretly. Yes, he was a little impatient.

Ji Song was able to train these children who could only play in mud in just a few years, which is indeed his skill.

Immediately, he cheered up again.Since it hasn't grown up yet, I will have to wait for a few years. I can still afford to wait for this time.

While they were talking, the formation of the young men below underwent a shocking change.

I saw that the 12-man cone-shaped formation, dominated by the two teenagers at the head, split into two teams in the blink of an eye.

The two people each formed two circular formations, with one person in the center and five people surrounding it.The two circular formations entwined and rotated around each other, sometimes touching each other, and sometimes burning together.

It was like two armies dueling on the battlefield, testing each other. The person in the middle was the commander, and the five people around him were the five armies in front, back, left, right and center.

Under the command of their coach, they first launched a probing attack on the opponent.After the test was over, he seemed to know the details of the other party, and quickly retreated from the anxiety.

Everyone, whether they are civil servants or military generals, have all come out of the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty. Even the weak scribes all know some ways of fighting.

They stared intently at the formations of the two young men, holding their breath, as if they were watching an evenly matched showdown.

After the test ended, the two sides changed their formations almost at the same time. One side, with the commander as the leader and the fifth army as the auxiliary, directly attacked the enemy.

The other side forms a defensive formation. If the coach is commanding from behind, no matter how the opponent attacks, they cannot break through the defense line.

The first time they fought, they were evenly matched, and no one could do anything to the other!

"It's amazing! It's amazing!" Xiao Yu, who came with him, is also a person who knows military skills. He was impressed by how the young men could demonstrate the formations and tactics that have been secreted since ancient times in such a simple and clear way. Skill!

"What do you think of the pharmacist?" Li Shimin saw clearly from the first glance that the young men expressed the scene of the duel between the two armies in this simple way. Although they are immature, it is commendable to be able to do so at such an age. .

Li Jing was also called here by Li Shimin. So many ministers are here tonight. What will happen if the leaders of the Tang Dynasty army don't come?
When everyone heard the emperor's question about Li Jing, they were all curious about what he thought of Li Jing, the only person in the Tang army besides His Majesty.

Li Jing stroked his beard and said: "The person who can come up with such a method is really a genius. Although this method is simple, it is very practical. But it has a fatal flaw!"

"What is it?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Let the Marquis of Haocheng answer this point himself!" Li Jing did not explain clearly, but said to Ji Song on the side. "Ji Song, tell everyone, is there a fatal flaw in this?" Li Shimin didn't believe it.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Ji Song did not shirk. He looked at the students below and said proudly: "Of course there are flaws, and they are still fatal flaws."

Ji Song did not show off, but said directly: "That is, only an army composed of scholars can learn complex formations and improvise on the spot, otherwise this method will be just a decoration!"

"An army of scholars? This? How is this possible?" Cheng Yaojin murmured.

However, these words made Li Gang and others unhappy, saying: "What? Does General Cheng look down on us scholars, or does he look down on me?"

Hearing Li Gang's insidious voice, Cheng Yaojin jumped up and woke up immediately.He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, how could it be! I just"

"Okay, Master Li, don't be embarrassed. He made an unintentional mistake. Why don't you quickly apologize to Master Li?" Of course, the latter words were addressed to Lao Cheng.

"Humph!"

Li Gang snorted coldly and said: "That is to say, I am getting older. When I was young, although I was not as good as I am now, I still can't get close to a few thieves. We scholars are not all helpless. A man of strength.”

"Master Li said that it was me, Old Cheng, who made a mistake. Please forgive me, Master Li!"

Ji Song still believed what the teacher said. He had seen the teacher practicing swordplay after meals sometimes. Although he was older, he could still tell that he still had some foundation.

"Jisong, tell me why this is? Why do we need an army composed of scholars?" Li Shimin wanted to know very much, if the whole army could be implemented, how much would it improve the army?
In my mind, I recalled the army of later generations that had to learn from it even when fighting.Said: "First, formations, art of war, etc. all require a certain foundation in reading. It does not necessarily require a high level of knowledge, but at least you must be literate."

"Second, scholars are better able to accept more complex military orders and understand the contents of military orders to the greatest extent possible."

"Three, thoughts!"

"Thoughts?" Li Jing could see the first one, but the third one was a little confused.

"Yes, it's ideas. When an army has its own unique ideas, then they will be the most powerful army in the world, bar none."

"Know why we are fighting, what we are fighting for, have our country and the world in our hearts, and have a heart that dares to fight to the death. Once such an army is formed, it will have a military soul and a fighting spirit in the army."

"Even if you are faced with a desperate situation, you can still fight to the death and fight to the last person standing."

After listening to Ji Song's words, Li Shimin was silent, Li Jing was silent, Li Gang and Xiao Yu were silent.

Such an army fascinated them, but when they thought of his prerequisites, their hearts twitched.

Scholars!Were there 20 scholars in the Tang Dynasty at this time?Are there [-] adult readers of the right age?These people are the treasures of the Tang Dynasty, and they feel heartbroken when one of them is lost.

Let them form an army to fight the enemy?Don’t even think about it!
