Wang Li has followed the old general Wang Jian since he was a child. He has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and his military skills are naturally acceptable. He also has some of the spirit of the old general Wang Jian. However, his opponent is Li Xin.
A super genius who even his eldest father, Wang Jian, had to stay away from the spotlight in the past.
The formation was in good shape, but it was seen that it had been smashed into pieces by Li Xin's furious charge, and it was a little messed up.
"General——"
Seeing Zhao Ying come in, Wang Li was immediately relieved. He quickly stood up and saluted with a look of joy. Then, he accidentally overturned several cases that were used to deduce the art of war.
Zhao Ying did not expose him, pretending not to notice, and waved his hand cheerfully.
"We're in the military exercise, how's the situation going-"
"Seeing that a big dragon was about to encircle me and decide the winner, but when you came, it was delayed——"
Wang Li glanced at Li Shu, who was following Zhao Ying into the tent. He smiled flatteringly, waved his hands grandly, complained jokingly, and then turned around without looking back. Just leave.
"You guys chat, I'll go outside to see if those little brats are lazy again..."
Zhao Ying:......
Li Xin also looked at this young junior with a half-smile but said nothing. In fact, he and Wang Li also wanted to provide guidance on the military deduction.
It can also be regarded as a reward for the old general Wang Jian.
"It's okay. This kid is pretty talented. He's following the path of military power. After a few years of hard work, he's a usable general in the army -"
Li Xin commented very objectively.
Zhao Ying once studied the art of war with Wang Li under the old general Wang Jian for a period of time, so he naturally knew that Li Xin's words were quite pertinent. After all, military strategy and military situation were different, and the main purpose of military strategy was calculation. Always looking for a stable word.
Unless you encounter talented generals at the level of Li Xin and Xiang Yu, there will generally not be too big a problem.
What's more, Wang Li was personally raised by General Wang Jian since he was a child.
"General, are you interested in a game..."
Li Xin didn't care about the cold-faced girl behind her, acting as if she wanted to keep strangers away from her. Instead, he picked up the cases that had been overturned by Wang Li and extended an invitation to Zhao Ying.
He knew the purpose of the First Emperor and sent himself to Zhao Ying's side. In addition to assisting Zhao Ying, he also wanted to teach the art of war and martial arts. However, after yesterday's confrontation, he could no longer tell whether it was to complete the First Emperor's mission. Still happy to see Hunter Xin.
Although Zhao Ying learned the military strategy of the old general Wang Jian, he was able to adapt on the spot, jump in ideas, and not stick to established methods. In addition to truly leading troops on the spot, he already had some sense of a real master of military art.
It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent like this that could make him feel more competitive.
Especially the young opponent, the royal junior whom I have always been very optimistic about.
"my pleasure……"
Zhao Ying came over and helped separate the mixed flags on the table, seemingly casually.
"Has the general paid attention to these new recruits in our military camp? If not, you might as well take the time to take a look at it for me to see if there are any good ideas..."
Hearing Zhao Ying talk about this, Li Xin's movements on his hands stagnated slightly, and he nodded calmly.
"good--"
In the past two days in the army, although I briefly looked through the information of these people in the camp, I did not understand it in depth and detail. Most of the time, I was thinking about the use of Zhao Ying's Tianlong city-breaking halberd.
However, at this time, hearing Zhao Ying mention this specifically made him think a lot.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this military deduction was a replay of the battle against Chu. However, he substituted Xiang Yan's identity and conditions, while Zhao Ying substituted his former identity.
Zhao Ying's heart was moved, but his face remained calm, but there was a hint of seriousness in his brows that he had never seen before. He naturally knew that the battle against Chu had been Li Xin's worry over the years.
It almost shattered the former genius general's confidence and pride.
It has never recovered since then.
He has never led an army independently again, nor has he ever had such a dazzling record that everyone needs to look up to. This once radiant genius was like a wounded tiger, completely dormant in his own mansion, just licking his wounds in solitude every day.
Even the history books are too lazy to spend more money on him.
Seeing her grandson using this example to confront Zhao Ying, Li Shu glared at Zhao Ying fiercely, then looked at her grandson with some worry, and moved closer to her grandson without leaving any trace.
This time, Zhao Ying changed from yesterday's exhaustive tactics, and instead adopted Li Xin's tactics of a set of troops from the beginning.
With the army, he almost rushed all the way, attacked Pingyu, and approached Yan Ying. Seeing that Zhao Ying's tactics were exactly the same as his own, Li Xin couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. He raised his head and glanced at the tall and mighty emperor's grandson in front of him, and his tone was somewhat Inexplicable.
"The general rushes forward with light cavalry and penetrates deep into the enemy's heartland. He is not afraid of changes in the rear and will fall into an isolated and helpless situation..."
Zhao Ying waved his hand lightly.
"General, don't worry—"
Li Xin didn't speak either. However, after Zhao Ying captured Ying, the capital of Chu State, Li Xin slowly picked up a flag and stuck it heavily on the dot representing Ying Chen.
This was the escape route he arranged back then. Almost all the food and fodder for the 200,000-strong army was hoarded in the land of Yingchen!
Chang Pingjun's counterattack disrupted all his plans.
The scene from the past is heart-piercing.
There was no expression on Li Xin's face, but the knuckles holding the flag were already slightly white from excessive exertion.
Now, this was almost a comeback from his previous attack on Chu. He wanted to know how the emperor's eldest grandson in front of him got out of the predicament he faced back then!
After taking a look at Li Xin, who looked a little strange, Zhao Ying smiled and nodded, and then drew a circle around Yingcheng with his finger.
"I now have 150,000 brave and brave soldiers under my command, and I am sitting in danger of Ying City. If the walls are strong and the country is clear, I can send 50,000 elite soldiers to collect food and grass, drive away the chaotic people in Chu, and head eastward——"
Having said this, Zhao Ying raised his head cheerfully and looked at Li Xin, whose brows had knitted together.
"General Li, why do you think..."
Li Xin remained silent, staring at Zhao Ying's arrangement like a hawk.
Ying is the capital of Chu State. Under the management of several generations, the city is tall and strong. Not to mention the 200,000-strong army, even if it is garrisoned with 100,000 troops, it is still impregnable.
As for food and grass...
What did Ying say? It was also the capital of a country. Inside and outside the capital, rich families gathered, and armies were dispatched. People were just swordsmen and I was fish and meat. Come to think of it, the nobles and wealthy families in Chu were not willing to pay for their lives with food. few.
On the other hand, if hundreds of thousands of Chu state refugees and nobles were driven by the Qin army, they faced Xiang Yan and Qu Ding's 200,000 troops.
Even if they don't need to be used as cannon fodder, feeding these hundreds of thousands of people is enough to give Chu State a headache.
The Qin army could drive away the people of Chu and ignore them. How could the king of Chu do this?
In fact, Li Xin was right about one thing back then, and that was Chu's military strength. When the king of Chu State paid homage to Xiang Yan as his general, he only managed to cobble together an army of 200,000.
Two hundred thousand Chu troops faced two hundred thousand Qin troops. Even if it was a head-to-head confrontation, the Chu State was not the Qin State that had experienced battles for many years and was eagerly looking forward to killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious deeds to change the fate of itself and its family. The opponent of the sergeant.
In an instant, the Chu State was burdened by hundreds of thousands of refugees from its own country, and the Qin army occupied a favorable location. There were also tens of thousands of Meng Tian's troops outside to provide assistance. As long as they stood firm, the situation of the war could be easily reversed.
After all, Li Xin was a genius general of Qin.
But at that time, he was suddenly stabbed in the back by Changping Jun Mi Qi, cutting off his retreat, losing his food and grass supplies, and his mind was confused in a hurry. In other words, the heart of this young genius general was not dark enough and not hard enough. .
If it were replaced by Bai Qi——
Maybe it’s another ending!
If you think about how the Mongolian and Yuan armies swept across Eurasia, you will know how it will end. It may not be that Li Xin couldn't remember it at that time, but the Qin Dynasty was fighting a battle to unify the world, and it wanted not only the land, but also the people on the land.
He most likely did not have the courage or courage to go against the wishes of the First Emperor and attack those civilians. He only thought about how to remedy the situation and fight back.
Then he led his troops westward in an attempt to restore the disadvantage.
What he didn't expect was that he met Xiang Yan, who was also proficient in military situation and tactics, and was bitten by the tail. He didn't get the slightest chance to slow down and adjust, so he was completely defeated and ended sadly.
Li Xin stood in silence for a long time, then looked away with difficulty and let out a long breath.
"Leading troops to fight, when the enemy changes, I am not as good as a general——"
Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.
"It's not that the general is inferior to me, it's that the general is kind and has too much baggage. He not only wants to win the battle, but also wants to avoid hurting innocent people as much as possible. He doesn't want to plant too many hidden dangers for the future governance of the court..."
Li Xin was like a child who had been wronged for many years, and was instantly hit by Zhao Ying's words.
The corners of his eyes suddenly became moist.
In this world, there are still people who understand their own difficulties!
Zhao Ying lowered his head calmly and was busy cleaning up the flags on the desks. While doing so, he was looking for something to say to himself.
"Our military deduction is still too low-level and crude. Looking back, I'll see if I can get someone to make a large sand table. Then it will be more convenient to perform the deduction, and it will also allow those bastards outside to learn more clearly. Be more intuitive..."
Seeing that Zhao Ying didn't seem to notice his gaffe, Li Xin quickly raised his sleeves without leaving a trace and wiped his eyes. As for what Zhao Ying was talking about about the sand table, he was so distracted that he couldn't hear it clearly.
At this time, it was not easy to ask in detail, so I could only say a few perfunctory words, and then excused myself to feel unwell and went back early.
Li Shu was worried about her grandson, so she quickly stood up, said hello to Zhao Ying in a very sloppy way, and hurriedly chased her grandson.
Before leaving, he gave Zhao Ying a hard look.
It's all this little thief's fault for talking nonsense!
Zhao Ying:......
It is probably impossible to expect this girl to have the consciousness of a guard.
…
"Aweng - you, are you okay..."
Li Xin stopped, looked at his daughter who was following with a worried look, and smiled, with an indescribable sense of relief in his expression.
Li Shu couldn't help but be startled.
I don’t know how long it has been since I saw such a relaxed look on my Aweng’s face.
"Don't worry, Aweng is fine. Go back. Since you have become the young master's bodyguard, you should do your job well and protect the young master's safety..."
Li Xin patted his daughter's head lovingly.
If Li Shu wanted to say more, Li Xin had already waved his hand at her, turned around and left.
Li Shu hesitated for a moment, then followed her Aweng's instructions and went back with some confusion. Obviously that thief just made Ah Weng sad and shed tears, why did I feel that Ah Weng was in a better mood just now?
Although I can't understand it, my grandma's mood has improved for real, and for the first time, he feels a sense of gratitude to Zhao Ying in his heart.
Zhao Ying was not surprised to see her come back.
"Why, have you figured it out and want to come back to thank my great benefactor——"
Zhao Ying pointed to his shoulder happily.
"Don't mention the futile words. If you really want to thank me, come up with something practical. Come - rub my shoulders and back for this general..."
Li Shu:! ! ! ! ! !
The only trace of gratitude in my heart disappeared in an instant.
…
Sometimes, once you talk about some heavy worries, they won't feel so uncomfortable.
When Zhao Ying said this, most of the grievances that had accumulated in his heart for many years disappeared instantly. Over the years, it wasn't just the tragic defeat that year that made him depressed and unable to recover.
"General, you seem to be in a good mood today..."
Lao Pudi, who was taking a nap in the concierge around the stove, immediately noticed something strange about his general after opening the door.
Li Xin smiled.
"Well, I figured out something today - go ask the kitchen to prepare some drinks and call all the old brothers in the house. We won't go home until we get drunk tonight..."
Lao Pudi happily went to inform the old brothers.
Li Xin walked to the martial arts field and raised the imitation Tianlong city-breaking halberd.
Today, his mood was agitated and he felt that his thoughts were clear and his thoughts were clearer than ever before. Some things that he could not figure out in the past were suddenly understood and inspiration burst out. The halberd vibrated and the sound broke through the air.
The things I had been thinking about so hard these days suddenly merged with my past martial arts skills, and they made a direct connection.
Li Xin seemed to have returned to the battlefield of the past, waving his halberd and making changes with ghosts and gods, and gradually gained a bit of the invincible momentum he once had when he was galloping freely.
Looking at Li Xin on the martial arts field, the old servants couldn't help but look at each other, and they tacitly agreed not to disturb him.
It seems, as if, their former general is back!
…
After Wang Li returned from the military camp after a busy day, he did not want to rest as usual. Instead, he acted normally and hurriedly found his grandfather.
Pulling Wang Jian along, he reviewed the military maneuvers he and Li Xin had performed in the military camp today, and asked his eldest father for advice. Although he is usually reckless and careless, when it comes to the use of troops, he is never careless.
What's more, as the grandson of the old general Wang Jian, he was beaten to a pulp by Li Xin and was defeated. He felt a little ashamed and uneasy in his heart, feeling that he had lost the face of his eldest father and Aweng.
Seeing his grandson behave like this, the veteran general Wang Jian couldn't help but feel very good. For the first time, he did not scold him. Instead, he started from the beginning and analyzed in detail his grandson's gains and losses in the whole process.
Wang Li nodded repeatedly.
"This is General Li Xin. I want to give you some tips to improve your military skills - remember to be more respectful to General Li when you go back. It's best to treat him as a teacher..."
Wang Jian smiled kindly and felt a little emotional in his heart.
