And he really admired Su You. The Ning Naval Intelligence Branch was the actual operator of the secret plan to capture the city, but the makers of this idea were Su You and Wang Shao.

It is said that "if a dandy does not starve to death, he will miss his body if he has many scholarly crowns." Who would have guessed, "To the kings Yao and Shun, and then to make the customs pure."

The literati of the Song Dynasty had too many bad habits: they discriminated against internal officials, nobles, and soldiers...

But they worship monks, Taoist priests, and even famous prostitutes...

But Su Shaobao did not have these bad habits. Not only was he not greedy for the merits of his soldiers, he also loved to promote merits, especially military merits.

For example, this time, anyone who understands knows that the Song Dynasty was able to capture the city without spending a single soldier. It cannot really be a coincidence of God's will. This must be Su You's contribution.

But although you can make wild guesses, you can't provide evidence.

The evidence is all in the Ning Naval Intelligence Branch, and has now been handed over to the National History Committee. It has become the top secret of the Song Dynasty and cannot be unsealed for fifty years.

All the credit was due to Zhao Xu's destiny. The heroes of the three states were the first to be righteous.

This is almost a perfect interpretation of the words in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "In the war of good men, there are no surprises, no wisdom, and no bravery."

Xueshi Su and Xueshi Wang are truly masters of military art and strategy today.

Soviet Union's requirement for the commanders and fighters of the New Army was to engage in civil warfare rather than military warfare.

Wenzhan means that there are plans before the war, records during the war, and reviews after the war.

As the saying goes, "The good man stands in an invincible position without losing the enemy. Therefore, the victorious army wins first and then fights; the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory."

Before war, a large amount of intelligence analysis and preparation work must be carried out, and deduced combat plans and contingency plans must be in place.

During the course of the battle, every order given by the commanders and soldiers must be recorded in detail in order to prepare for a post-war review to summarize the pros and cons, gain experience, and learn lessons.

Su You also read Cao Nan's notes about the Hoi An defense war and spoke highly of him, thinking that he was a talent that could be developed.

Along the way south, Su You took him with him to review the entire capture strategy for him, allowing Cao Nan to stand on the level of a commander again. With more intelligence and information in hand, he could see clearly the past two years.

The future layout and evolution.

The Song Dynasty used culture to control military affairs, and most of the people who rose from the army were generals.

However, there are not many generals who can stand alone, weigh the enemy and ourselves, formulate strategies, defeat powerful enemies, and overthrow other countries.

Cao Wei from the Cao family can definitely be counted as one.

No heavy hammer is needed to play a drum. Cao Nan knew that after the Battle of Hoi An, Shaobao already believed that he had potential in this area and was deliberately cultivating it.

Of course, neither of them revealed this meaning. After all, one was a civil servant and the other was a military general. One was an important minister and the other was a kinsman. If they really were labeled as "friends", it would be a minor crime if they took the opportunity.

So Cao Nan was very grateful to Su You. Su You defined the relationship between the two as that of a superior leader and a guard, so that they could give guidance without making mistakes.

It was also for these reasons that Cao Nan behaved like a docile donkey around Su You.

This made Cheng Yue a little uneasy.

Cheng Yue was embarrassed to be in Su You's team.

What embarrassed him the most was that Su You didn't care about his past, on the contrary, he trusted him very much.

Su You especially liked chatting with him. It was obvious that Shaobao paid close attention to his files and had his own opinions on how he embarked on the path of "anti-thief".

Su You's impression on Cheng Yue also greatly changed the previous definition of the word "dog official".

Su You liked to talk to Cheng Yue about the overall situation, about the floods in Hebei and Hedong, about the disputes in the court about river management strategies, about the complexity of the political system, about the threats from Xixia and Liao, and about the defeats in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Talk about what is true chivalry, what is courage, what is integrity, and what is responsibility.

It was very simple and straightforward. It talked about the actual difficulties faced by the Song Dynasty and the efforts made by the government to overcome these difficulties, and analyzed the pros and cons. When talking about the imperial court's nonsense, sometimes it even cursed.

But in Su You's heart, every capable person in the Song Dynasty should do his or her part for the country of the Song Dynasty.

If this country still has people like Cheng Yue who are unwilling to serve the country or even cause trouble, then Cheng Yue may only bear 40% of this responsibility, and the more 60% lies with the court and officials.

Su You even taught Cheng Yue about the laws of the jungle, the birth and succession of civilization, the old and the old, and the old of the people; the young and the young, and the young of the people.

It is said that the powerful no longer abandon and devour the weak, but care and love them. This is the standard of civilization and the embodiment of morality, and is the fundamental difference between humans and animals.

The Song Dynasty certainly had its own shortcomings in this regard, but at least the whole country made conscious efforts, at least among all the countries in the world today, it did the best.

Frequent floods and droughts in Hedong and Hebei, and the lack of power of the imperial court, led to the phenomenon that the law of the jungle once again defeated the law of civilization in some areas and among some people.

Shaobao told himself that he was undoubtedly a capable person. Being able to survive the law of the jungle and even become a beneficiary was enough to prove his ability.

However, these cannot explain one's moral level. At most, they are worthy of celebration, but not worthy of glory and pride.

On the other hand, his brother is exterminating bandits in Yizhou, Xuzhou, and trying to restore normal order in the place, so that the people will no longer be in panic and return to a stable life.

Shaobao said that those who serve the country and the people are the real "great chivalrous people".

Cheng Yue has seen a lot of nagging hypocrites. He has even beheaded quite a few of those dog officials who say one thing and do another.

He really didn't know before that there were people like Su You in the imperial court.

Su You's words made Cheng Yue submissive, which was more powerful than Shi Wei's sword.

I am from the Shu School of Neo-Confucianism, and I pay attention to reasonableness in doing things.

So whatever I said, I did.

And if I can't do it myself, I will never ask others to do it.

This sentence alone made Cheng Yue unable to refuse.

Cheng Yue followed Su You for a while and found that there was a huge difference between Su You and the officials in his impression.

Only then did I know how many affairs a road-level official in the Song Dynasty had to deal with in a day, and how difficult it was to achieve "the greatest fairness".

In addition to normal government affairs, Su You also goes to the academy to teach on weekdays, to workshops to give guidance on improving craftsmanship, and to factories and mines to teach how to improve production efficiency.

And Shi Wei has to go to Tzu Chi Home, Juzicang, Salesian Bureau, and Pharmacy every day to be busy.

Su You also explained once that he and Shi Wei are also capable persons, so these are their responsibilities and obligations.

Cheng Yue's mind was a little shaken now, and he decided to protect people like Su Shaobao.

Such officials are really rare for ordinary people.

Although the county prince is here, it is unclear whether Su Shaobao needs to protect him by himself, but since Su Shaobao has placed him in such a position, he must fulfill his... responsibility.

Cheng Yue now has two pieces of fish skin on his face. At the location of the golden seal, Shi Wei performed a small operation on him. After corroding the golden seal, he applied Tianshi Bureau's secret medicine and used the sterilized fish skin.

Once you put it on, it is said that it will be restored to its original state within a short period of time.

Cheng Yue originally thought this was a boring move, until one day Su You told him Cheng's father's greatest wish, that his son would no longer be a rebel or criminal, and Cheng Yue silently accepted it.

Temperament is a very fascinating thing.

Just like Cheng Yue, even though he became a military minister, his unruly and withdrawn face remained the same. Even though Dong Fei became a liaison and promoted to the Municipal Shipping Affairs and Import Department, and made great achievements, he still nodded and bowed to everyone he met.

laugh.
