"Sun Tzu said: If you don't know enough, you will have to rely on yourself to lead an army."
"When an army rises...a general will not control the sky above, the earth below, and the people in the middle..."
"The master of military affairs is as secreted as the earth and as profound as the sky. He is born out of nothing, so he is shut down."
The voices in the military mansion were all explaining the art of war, how to become a general, and how to build a military.
It talks about military books such as "The Four Transformations", "The Yellow Emperor's Conquest of the Red Emperor", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Tai Gong's Six Taoist Commandments", "Wei Liao Zi", etc. Some of the contents are easy to understand, while others are profound and unpredictable, containing endless changes in military strategists' magical powers.
All of them are the essence of military training.
Huo Qubing introduced the energy of hundreds of thousands of soldiers into the military mansion and added the charm of military strategists of all generations within it, just to trigger these military strategists' understanding of the art of war. Dong Zhongshu copied all kinds of military books for ten years in order to make military manuscripts from his poor scriptures, and the principles of the art of war were revealed.
If someone with military talent hears this voice, he or she may become enlightened and start military practice.
Huo Qubing had thought about what he should do when he came to this world and what he could leave behind.
He wanted to promote the birth of the earliest military academy to let people know and learn military skills and develop military wisdom.
If it can slightly influence history and make military science more popular, it can also strengthen the national morale, dare to fight, and give a fighting edge.
At the military mansion in front of us, Emperor Liu Che came in person, and hundreds of officials came together to invite military strategists of all generations to join the ranks. This was a perfect opportunity.
Now that he has become the chief priest of the military mansion, Huo Qubing took advantage of the situation and led 100,000 soldiers to promote it.
As the voice of military lectures came out in the military mansion, there was a sense of fighting, killing, and the blending of life and death, which together formed the military spirit.
This overwhelming energy was overwhelming, like mountains pressing down on the top, and like a divine sword hanging in the air, making people tremble.
When it spread and poured out of the military mansion, the onlookers were in awe of it.
Many people, including the high-ranking clan members, actually knelt down and paid homage to the famous military generals who guarded the family and the country.
Even the heads of several major clans changed their expressions, and they were also willing to kneel down, but they could still hold on.
But the military front they are bearing in their minds is getting higher and higher, and it is extremely turbulent and still rising.
"This military intention..."
Among the bystanders, only the emperor, Wei Qing, Jiang Yan, Dong Zhongshu and a few others were unaffected.
On the contrary, the members of the clan were protected by a national destiny and were able to avoid kneeling, but the impact was not small.
If the soldiers pouring out of the military palace were released on the battlefield, they would have the terrifying spiritual pressure of defeating the enemy without fighting.
"Is this Bingfeng the champion's, or is it... the result of the convergence of the charms of all the famous generals in the Bingfu?" The leader of a clan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The leader of the Li clan, Li Zhaodao, said: "He is not the champion, he personally does not have the strength of his spiritual will to crush the kneeling in the heavenly and human realm. It should be the military spirit of the past generals in the military mansion that was stimulated and bloomed!
The gods will protect the country and honor the sages, so there is no harm in kneeling down. "
"It is true that he is not a champion, but... look at what he is doing..."
Before Li Zhao could finish his voice, he was interrupted by the almost babble-like voice of another clan leader.
When everyone looked over, they saw that the surging military spirit, which was spurred from the briefs written by famous generals in the military mansion, was getting stronger and more obvious.
The bamboo slips with military strategists standing there vibrated and shimmered, and the fighting spirit continued to rise.
And Huo Qubing was heading towards the bamboo slips where the military spirit was at its strongest.
Everyone outside the military mansion still felt the trembling military spirit. Huo Qubing was so close, the pressure could be imagined.
But he walked calmly, without any apparent difficulty, as he approached the Bingfu Jian where the military spirit was blooming. Then he stretched out his hand, and wisps of Qi circulated, immediately covering the source of the military spirit blooming in the Bingfu.
Feeling that the fierce military spirit had weakened, several clan leaders breathed a sigh of relief.
Under that military will, they were unable to move even an inch, but Huo Qubing was able to approach easily. This dynasty's military genius had a bottomless level of cultivation, which raised their inner understanding time and time again.
"From today onwards, the Military Mansion will be opened wide for all people to come in and pay homage to the military strategists of past dynasties. Anyone who enters the Military Mansion and can listen to the military affairs can learn military skills!"
Huo Qubing's voice shocked everyone.
"He wants to lay the foundation for the military strategist, what a huge ambition!" Dong Zhongshu thought sourly.
Huo Qubing's speech on military affairs, which he urged through the military bureau, was all the content he had painstakingly transcribed over the years, but it was used by the military strategists, which made him angry.
"He wants to benefit everyone and expand the influence of the military strategist, so as to establish his own status and gather opportunities to attack the realm of the military saint."
This is the speculation of a senior member of the clan: "He also wants to become a contemporary military strategist and gain good luck..."
"He wants to push himself to the position of a military saint. He is ambitious and wishful thinking." Princess Longlu and Pingyang judged.
Huo Qubing opened the military mansion to teach military operations, which is a matter of taste.
The emperor's thoughts: To cure the disease, I want to strengthen the country with troops, select more military talents, and strengthen my man.
Everyone has their own judgment on what he does.
"The military strategists from now on can be divided into four categories according to military strategy, military situation, military yin and yang, and military skills. They can choose different categories to practice. Military strategists should first study the chapters of Wu Yi, General Li, and Yuan Guan. This military strategist is commissioned by Your Majesty. Your Majesty, those who excel in military training can be promoted to be disciples of the emperor." Huo Qubing said loudly.
Why should the emperor be dragged in?
Because if you don't do it, you will be suspected of being authoritative. Let the emperor sit in command, and those who are outstanding in military training will be the emperor's disciples. This is respect for the emperor, and it can also increase the status of the military mansion and provide a way to advance.
Liu Che listened at the side and said to Wei Qing: "Look, you are using my name to expand the military without authorization. What a bastard, so presumptuous."
Wei Zifu laughed on the side and said: "Isn't that the fearless edge that Your Majesty has raised in him since he was a child? If he was not so fearless on the battlefield, how could he defeat the Huns with thousands of troops?"
Liu Che straightened his back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
And just when Huo Qubing announced that the military palace had been opened to benefit the people, there was indeed a hidden energy that he gained.
Boom!
In the military mansion, the bamboo slip he was on moved, squeezing out another military sage and moving closer to the center.
The void and the ground inside the military mansion also lit up with arrays of formation patterns, and the textures were intertwined to form thousands of ever-changing array patterns.
In the end, the countless complex formations converged and merged into one, turning into a ball of light, which was swallowed up by the White Tiger Talisman.
Then the white tiger returned to Huo Qubing's eyebrows and disappeared without a trace.
Huo Qubing closed his eyes for a moment, and the aura of a military strategist in his body surged forward after absorbing the military formation diagram, and it seemed to be touching the peak of the Yin body level in the second realm of heaven and man.
"The Qi he gained is so rich! He blended with the charm of the military strategists of all generations in the military mansion, and understood some changes in the ancient military formations from it? Absorbed it for his own use, and started to prepare for the attack on the three realms of military strategists so soon?"
Dong Zhongshu thought again.
Although the chief priest of the Bingfu was snatched away by Huo Qubing, he still had a spiritual connection with the Bingfu and could feel Huo Qubing's actions in the Bingfu.
Only then did Huo Qubing withdraw his troops and walk out of the military mansion.
The gathered troops of the surrounding forbidden troops gradually dispersed. Huo Qubing walked towards Liu Che and said with a salute: "Your Majesty, I have completed the military training ceremony again. From now on, we will open the military palace to strengthen our army.
This military mansion will always stand in the north of Chang'an, where yin and yang coexist, and the soul of the soldiers will remain forever. It will be worshiped by all the people and select good generals and soldiers for Your Majesty. "
Liu Che said solemnly: "Okay!"
"Your Majesty, please bring back the inheritances of our families!" Li Zhao and other clan leaders approached.
The displeasure on their faces when Huo Qubing forcibly took away their inherited items no longer appeared on their faces. They all looked calm and accommodating, and came over to inquire politely.
The reason is that they have realized that asking for it by force will not work.
The aura that Huo Qubing showed just now to command thousands of armies seems to be defeated by the stars.
So I changed my approach.
"It hasn't been used up yet. Please stay in Chang'an for a while and pay it back when you use it up." Huo Qubing said calmly.
"But how long will it take to use it up?" Li Zhao was calm and collected.
"Pingxian and I are going to get married, and we'll talk about it after we get married," Huo Qubing said.
Li Zhao and others almost broke their defense, and you and the princess got married. Does it have anything to do with when the inheritance will be returned to us?
"Okay, let's go back to the palace first, and the heads of each family will come with us." Liu Che glanced at the heads of families deliberately, then turned and left first.
The emperor's chariot set off, and on the way back, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing rode horses, one on the left and the other on the right, walking beside the emperor's chariot.
The three of them, the monarch and his ministers, communicated in low voices as they walked.
The crowd watching from a distance were reluctant to leave, especially the process of the champion's attack on the military palace. They could not forget it and talked about it happily.
Behind the team returning to Chang'an, in a carriage, Princess Longlu and Princess Yangyang were riding together.
Princess Longlu was weeping, her tears falling like strings, and she said bitterly: "Sister, I am so unwilling."
Princess Pingyang knew what she was referring to.
But what can she do if she doesn't want to give in? She really has nothing to do with Huo Qubing, who is the doctor of the court and has an invincible military force.
Princess Pingyang said calmly: "He is a contemporary general, let alone his majesty... His status, the order in which his name has been praised throughout the ages in the military mansion, may not be stable. Think about it, what is his real support?"
"He is the one who knows how to fight!"
Princess Longlu's eyes lit up: "Sister, I mean..."
She didn't actually say it, but she already thought of the key.
Enter the ranking of the military palace and gain the respect of the emperor.
All of this is based on Huo Qubing's invincibility on the battlefield. If he could be defeated, his status and everything would be greatly affected, and his fate might be lost on the battlefield.
Yes, other calculations are worse than letting him fail on the battlefield.
But how can Huo Qubing be defeated... Long Xi pondered and said nothing.
In another large carriage, the heads of the clans also gathered together to discuss.
They originally wanted to take Dong Zhongshu with them, but the old master refused.
"The emperor asked us to come to Chang'an this time because there must be other things."
On the carriage frame, members of several clans offered artifacts to block out the prying eyes and eavesdroppers from the outside, and exchanged opinions.
"I was a little careless just now. The champion suddenly gathered his troops and took away the ancestral weapons from our hands. This was to use the inheritance of each of our families as compensation. If we can't let him get his wish, the things may be I can't get it back," said Li Zhong, the head of the Li family in Zhao County.
"If you don't gather your troops, he wants to take away your general's sword. Do you dare not give it to him?"
The head of the Wang family in Taiyuan sighed: "I thought Master Dong would take the lead in making the proposal, and we would have no problem speaking out. What a miscalculation."
"My family's spurge protects the family's luck, so I have to get it back no matter what. If anything happens, I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, will recognize it first and agree to it."
"Do you think His Majesty summoned us to Chang'an for any purpose other than to observe the ceremony and attend the wedding of Champion Marquis and Princess Pingxian?"
Li Zhao shook his head slightly, said nothing, but spread his hands.
Everyone looked at his palm, and Li Zhao slowly wrote three words on his hand: Martial Arts Lord!
In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, that is, this year, one month ago the emperor issued an edict and promulgated the regulations on martial arts titles.
The superficial meaning of Wugong Jue is that people are allowed to pay for it, and they can also pay money to avoid the crime of stealing money and corruption.
There is also a "rewarding official", called "Martial Arts Lord", which means you can spend money to buy an official position.
The first level is 170,000 copper coins, and the amount increases above that. Anyone who purchases a martial arts title of "thousands of men" will have priority in being appointed as an official.
The key point must be drawn here, which is the word 'priority'.
According to common sense, allowing people to buy offices will cause chaos in the official system, which is a foolish move.
But the key is to use the word "priority" well. That is to say, if you spend money, you only have one priority. In fact, it still depends on the individual's talent.
To put it more bluntly, the emperor thought of a way to kill the big dogs, in order to collect food and salary, fill the national treasury, and let the big dogs take the money.
Not only do you need to get money, but you also need to get more. But even if you donate, you may not be able to do anything for you. What you are promised is a verbal check.
This is a method commonly used by emperors of all dynasties. After taking power, they will definitely "kill the rich and give to the poor", equalize land assets, reduce monopoly, and one of the means to equalize wealth.
However, the clans in front of me have very different origins and status, and are almost equivalent to the status of princes in various places.
Each of their families has a wide range of connections behind them, and they also have deep connections with the DPRK and China.
Even if the emperor wants to attack them, he must have a name and cannot do it forcefully. Otherwise, it is very likely that everyone in the clan class in the world will be in danger and cause a strong backlash.
And these clans, which have been passed down for thousands of years and have been robbed from the rich and given to the poor by those in power, have become somewhat used to it.
Seeing that Li Zhao guessed that he was going to be slaughtered, the other families breathed a sigh of relief: "We also rely on the big man to survive, so just give it to us."
Li Zhao shook his head slightly: "Someone from the court had sent me a message before I came here, but this time it's different.
You have all seen my courage and ambition today. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with this time.
I heard the discussion in the DPRK. Not long ago, the Champion Marquis suggested that we should open up the borders of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty was also moved. He mobilized troops to open up the borders to the surrounding ethnic groups. It would cost so much that it would probably last for several years or more than ten years.
Once this wealth is used, it will surely continue to flow. "
Li Zhong, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, frowned and said, "It's a big waste to increase troops to open up the frontiers. This is a mistake that harms the country. The lack of troops and extravagant weapons will lead to the poverty of the country."
Is there no one in the court to advise your Majesty? "
"The champion relies on his own military talents. It is really annoying and is too much to deceive others.
The words of military strategists are not enough to govern the country. If you follow the advice of military strategists and fight all day long, the national treasury will be empty and people's livelihood will wither, which is a sign of disaster for the country. "
"I will think of a way to remind His Majesty to stay away from such nonsense."
As the sun sets, the carriages and horses return to Weiyang Palace.
Everyone entered Liu Che's study one by one, including the heads of each clan. And they soon realized that things were not as simple as they thought.
Ps: Please vote, please.
