"The public policy of gold, jade and sandalwood is used to catch thieves. Fish and snakes laugh in the sea. Sheep, tigers and peaches are separated by mulberry trees. The trees are dark and crazy. The cauldron is empty and suffers from distant visitors. There are beautiful corpses in the roof beams. Attack Wei and attack Guo."
A gentle breeze blew into the small courtyard, and inadvertently flipped through a thin booklet on a small table under the peach tree. The booklet began with such a puzzling limerick. Jia Qi, sitting on a stool next to the small table, was in a daze, as if he was wandering in the sky.
Speaking of this limerick, it is not simple. It seems that the words are wrong, but in fact there is a hidden mystery. Thirty-six tactics of hidden military strategists, from beginning to end, include the cicada's shelling, throwing bricks to attract jade, killing with a borrowed knife, waiting for work, catching the thief and the king, taking advantage of the fire, catching the thief behind closed doors, fishing in troubled waters, striking the enemy in the grass, concealing the truth, counter-intuitive schemes, hiding the knife in a smile, pulling the sheep by the hand, swaying the tiger away from the mountain, Li Daitao is dead, pointing out the mulberry and scolding the flower tree. , watch the fire from the other side, bloom on the tree, hide in the old warehouse, go ahead with the plan, pretend to be crazy, play hard to get, draw firepower from the bottom of the cauldron, empty city plan, bitter meat plan, make friends from far away and attack closely, turn against the guests, take out the ladder from the house, steal the beam and replace the pillar, make something out of nothing, beauty trap, borrow the corpse to bring the soul back, attack the east and attack the west, surround Wei and save Zhao, chain Countermeasures and false roads attack Guo.
In ancient times, not many people dared to teach this thing. If someone reported it, they would be beheaded. What would a common person do to learn this? Are you feeling dissatisfied when you see the emperor sitting too firmly on the throne, and plan to try what it feels like to sit on the dragon throne?
Therefore, no gentleman dares to teach this thing, and of course there are not many gentlemen who understand it. Anyone who understands the secrets of the art of war will not be reduced to a gentleman. At the end, he will become the staff of some powerful ministers. Of course, the staff here does not mean those who follow the military. Those around Jia Zheng can only say a few sour words, and they are just flatterers.
In this era, the art of war can only be passed down by word of mouth. It stands to reason that the Jia family made their fortune by leading troops in battles, so someone should know the art of war. However, the younger generations failed to live up to their expectations and stopped following the path of the army, so the art of war gradually declined. It was abandoned, and most of the connections in the army were taken over by Mrs. Wang's brother Wang Ziteng.
So even if Jia Qi really wants to learn, he has no way to start, so he can only learn by himself. In fact, Jia Qi is not suffering from hysteria at this moment, but taking advantage of the explosion of information in the world, he is searching for these thirty-six words in his mind. Remember the relevant major events to further deepen your understanding. Just like besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, it was originally said that the purpose of rescuing Zhao was achieved by besieging the capital of Wei and forcing Wei to withdraw its troops. But on the battlefield, how can this strategy be used? , still needs planning.
If you face an opponent who is too strong, you will definitely suffer a loss if you go head-to-head. If you use roundabout tactics to force the enemy to divide their forces, and then concentrate their superior forces to defeat them one by one, then the result will naturally be very different.
Most of the rest of the strategies were further understood by him in this way, but in actual combat, he was not sure how it would be. He knew that there was Zhao Kuo who was an armchair strategist, so he would not be arrogant enough to think that he was the best. Going to the battlefield can make the day pass, and the mind becomes more and more calm.
Suddenly there were footsteps. Jia Qi frowned and came to his senses. He put his right hand on the table, slightly hooked his index and middle fingers, and put the thin booklet into his sleeve.
He looked at the door of the courtyard, and within a few breaths he saw an old woman dressed somewhat enchantingly walking in.
Jia Qi had some doubts in his eyes. He didn't know this old woman. The sneaky look on her face made him subconsciously think that this woman was not a good person.
"Who are you?"
Jia Qi asked when he saw the man coming in.
As soon as Zhou Rui's family entered the door, they saw the peach tree in full bloom, and Jia Qi under the tree. He was about eleven or twelve years old, good-looking, and had a bookish aura about him, which was a bit like Uncle Lin who came to the house back then. picture.
She was in the Duke's Mansion and was Mrs. Wang's dowry. Now she was working with Wang Xifeng. She had seen many things that people had seen before. Jia Qi's temperament was rare in the Jia Mansion. Unknowingly, she I suddenly felt in my heart that those words to coax children might actually come from this guy.
"Hello, brother! I am the steward of the Xifu who works with Mistress Lian!"
Reaching out and not hitting the smiling person works well in most places. Zhou Rui's family was polite when they first came to him, and Jia Qi didn't think of him as the villain.
However, after hearing what the other party said, Jia Qi guessed the other party's identity. Although there were many mothers-in-law and daughter-in-laws following Wang Xifeng, there was only one person in charge of the affairs, and that was Zhou Rui's family.
This is the person that Grandma Liu was looking for when she entered Jia's house. This person is versatile, able to adapt to the wind, and extremely shrewd.
After that, there was a quarrel with Daiyu. When Aunt Xue sent flowers to the girl in the house, the old man deliberately acted cunningly. Finally, he went to send flowers to Daiyu, but Daiyu choked her. , and later it was reported in the house that Daiyu was jealous and sarcastic. It must be said that this old woman was very skillful in some tricks.
"Oh! I wonder why Sister-in-law Zhou is here?"
When Jia Chu revealed his identity, Zhou Rui's family was not surprised. As one of the few decent people in Xifu, she thought Jia Chu had seen him somewhere!
Zhou Rui's family took a few steps in the courtyard, glanced at the room, and found that there were indeed many books in the room, so he tentatively asked: "Brother, what is your name? I often do this in the house. I look for those mothers-in-law to talk about family issues, but I have never seen anyone as charming and suave as you, you are really a talented person!"
Hearing this, Jia Qi sighed in his heart. He was indeed the all-round and well-rounded steward of Xifu. Speaking of words, he was much higher than the previous nanny from Xichun.
"Jia Qi!"
Hearing Jia Qi's answer, Zhou Ruijia frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about who Jia Qi was, but she had heard Jia Qi's name before. Jia Qi had always kept a low profile, let alone It's her. Even here in Dongfu, not many people know about him.
But soon, Zhou Rui's family struck up a conversation again, "Brother Qi, you look very similar to the second master of the West Mansion. You have read so many books at such a young age. Even if you are named on the gold list in the future, you will not be able to win." Not surprisingly!"
Listening to the overt and covert flattery, Jia Qi's mouth twitched twice.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!"
Seeing Jia Qi like this, Zhou Rui's family continued with a smile: "Brother Qi, in this case, the old lady will tell you straight away, the old lady is here today! She has something to ask! The fourth girl has moved to Xifu these days. We were here, and we accidentally talked about a storybook. The content was very exciting, and several guys from Xifu also liked to listen to it, but the fourth girl just refused to say where she heard it from!"
"So! The brothers went to beg Second Grandma Lian. Why don't you let me come to Dongfu to ask? I happened to hear that the fourth girl often comes here to hang out, so why don't I shamelessly come over and ask? , Brother Xing, does he know where this message came from?"
After hearing this, Jia Qi generally understood the other party's purpose. It seemed that Xichun couldn't hold back and shared the story he heard here with the sisters, which attracted someone's attention, so he came here to inquire.
