Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 315: Map and sand table

The delineated battlefield is fairly broad, but overall, the terrain is not complicated, and apart from two hills with a little height, there is almost nothing worth mentioning. Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu chose to station the camp at the foot of one of the mountains called Xiaoniu Mountain. It's close to a stream and easy to get water, but it's a good choice.

Li Xin inspected the camp and found that everyone was strictly following the usual practice. The camp was in order, and it felt pretty good.

Back in the main general’s camp, Li Xin found that it was a bit lively. Several people, including Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Niu Jianhu, Yuchi Baolin and others, gathered around the big table in the center of the camp to discuss something enthusiastically.

When Li Xin came in, everyone looked up. Niu Jianhu was very excited and said, "His Royal Highness, you have done a great job with this sand table!"

Yuchi Baolin was holding a map and shouted, "With this map, it's like putting the battlefield in front of you."

Li Xin smiled, motioned everyone to move away from a position, and then sat down and said, "No way. After all, I can only work on these places."

After speaking, his eyes fell on the table in front of him.

This is not an ordinary table. If you have to say it, it should be more like a large square basin with four legs, and both length and width are five feet. The basin is covered with fine sand and gravel, carefully piled into high and low shapes. If you look at the two highest ridges intently, it is not difficult to find that one of them is somewhat similar to Xiaoniu Mountain. The other uplift naturally represents another mountain in the simulated battlefield, Wuyun Mountain.

That's right, this is the simulated sand table carefully made by Li Xin.

The simulated battlefield was not temporarily delineated. As early as the day before the military exercise, Li Shimin sent a map of the battlefield to Li Xin's hands. After Li Xin opened the map, he just glanced at it and wanted to tear up the so-called map, which was inferior to papyrus, and rushed into the toilet.. Well, there is no toilet at the moment. It won't be found in any corner of the earth. It can only be thrown into the cesspool.

The function of a map is to tell the reader important geographic information. The map sent by Li Shimin contained almost nothing except simple lines and text. In any case, as a map, should there be a scale?

Looking at Li Xin who was almost vomiting blood, Wang Gui leaned over and took a look.

"Is this the military map you used?" Li Xin asked helplessly.

Wang Gui nodded, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this map.

Li Xin shook his head and asked vigorously, "It's nothing more, let me ask you, are you familiar with this place?"

"Yeah. Guanzhong is nothing I'm not familiar with." Wang Gui said confidently. As a king of scouts, he knows the terrain of most places in the pass.

Therefore, Li Xin re-drew a map overnight on the basis of the original map, adding a series of information such as scale, height information, route, topography and so on. Of course, this information is based on Wang Gui's information source.

This is also the reason why Li Xin was so tired as soon as he returned to the palace.

Since this map can now be recognized by Cheng Chumo and others, it proves that Wang Gui is really not a big talker.

As for the sand table that matches the map, Li Xin ordered Wang Guidui just now. Speaking of which, Wang Gui is really very spiritual about these military matters. Li Xin simply explained the essentials, and he could do things beautifully. For example, the sand table in front of me was almost exactly the same as Li Xin had imagined.

After the sand table and map were prepared, Li Xin called Cheng Chumo and the others into his camp, and then took advantage of the two things they studied, and went out to the camp for a round.

Now that these two things can be recognized by everyone, he certainly has a sense of accomplishment.

"Now everyone should understand the terrain of this decisive battle. What do you think?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

He had already thought about it. Although he knows how to train and some basic common sense in military affairs, when the two armies are really going to confront each other, he really doesn't know what to do or where to start. Therefore, he decided to make good use of these people in front of him, including Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

I said it a long time ago. Although these two people are usually not very bright, they are also the biological sons of the famous Datang generals Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong behind the gate. As the saying goes, tiger fathers have no dogs, and they usually know about war at home, and they must have a much deeper understanding of war than Li Xin. After all, even though Li Xin said he was behind the generals, the Li Xuandao who could be called the **** of war had long since been alive, and he hadn't taught anything.

The same goes for Niu Jianhu and Yuchi Baolin. Niu Jinda, Yu Chigong...Which one did not make any contribution to Datang? A few of them... their sons get together to fight a decent battle. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?
