Eight hundred and sixty-eighth chapter pen is like a knife
In the afternoon, there was nothing going on in Wuyi Hall. Zhu Pingan simply poured a cup of tea and sat down to read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
"Sun Tzu said: Wherever there is an enemy, the army is facing an enemy: a mountain is close to a valley, a high place is a good place to live, and a battle is raging without climbing. This is where the army of the mountain is. If there is no water, it will be far away. When a guest comes without water, do not welcome him in the water.
, order half-aid and attack them with advantage; those who want to fight, there is no need to cling to the water to welcome the guests; depending on the height of the living place, there is no way to welcome the current, so the army here is on the water."
This is "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Terrain Chapter". The more Zhu Pingan read it, the more exquisite it became. As he read it, he recalled battles in history in his mind. He picked out the battle examples involving terrain and compared them with "Topography Chapter".
The more you compare the principles, the more profound they become.
Terrain is so important to war, whether in ancient times or modern times. If you can't make good use of terrain, you can't be a good general.
Of course, learning its meaning, not its shape, and learning "Topography" does not mean that you must arrange your formation according to "Topography", but you must flexibly use the terrain according to the actual situation. Han Xin's last battle is with "Topography"
"Those who wish to fight should welcome guests without being attached to water" is completely the opposite, but they also achieved a great victory.
"Haha, Zihou is very interested in military affairs. It seems that our Ming Dynasty needs another good minister and general who is both civilized, Taoist and military."
After Li Chunfang finished writing a Qing Ci, she noticed that Zhu Ping'an was reading "The Art of War" seriously, and couldn't help laughing and joking.
Both literary, Taoist and military?
Another official in the same room couldn't help laughing after hearing Li Chunfang's words, "Mr. Li, you were so focused on writing that you didn't pay attention. Zi Hou, after lunch, he opened "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
I haven’t turned a page now, and I’ve had my eyes closed for quite a while.”
Although this official did not say it directly, others knew that Zhu Ping'an had just fallen asleep while reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Well
I was recalling the battle examples in history and comparing them
However, Zhu Pingan did not explain, he just laughed. The book is for reading to oneself, not for others.
However, he had a simple and honest face, and he smiled as if he was embarrassed to have been criticized.
There was a chuckle in the room.
"Why are you laughing? You are so happy." An official came in with an official document in his hand and asked with a smile.
"Haha, it's nothing. Mr. Zhao is here, but do you have any orders from Mr. Yan Ge?" Li Chunfang stood up and welcomed the visitor in, and asked with a smile.
Mr. Zhao has been working as Director of Wuyi Palace for several years and has been working under Yan Song. He is considered one of Yan Song's secretaries.
"It's not a big deal. I just have a commendation document. Please polish it up. It will be printed and issued in the next two days." Mr. Zhao said softly, and then handed the document in his hand to Li Chunfang.
"Mr. Zhao, you're too polite. This is a matter that is within my scope, so why bother?" Li Chunfang finished the paperwork and shook her head with a smile.
"Master Zhao, please have some tea."
Another official in the room said, reaching out and pouring a cup of tea.
"No, I have to go to Mr. Wang's place, so I won't drink tea." Mr. Zhao smiled and shook his head, then said a few words to Li Chunfang, then waved to Zhu Ping'an and others, and then left.
went.
"Whose award document is this? Mr. Yan Ge has personally read it." Another official in the room curiously took the document from Li Chunfang and opened it to read.
"Haha, what a coincidence, Zihou can take a look. Maybe in the future, we will draft such a commendation document for you." The official unfolded the document and read it over, and couldn't help but laugh.
He handed the document to Zhu Pingan.
What's the meaning?
Zhu Ping'an curiously took the document and looked at it.
Um
After reading the document, Zhu Ping'an understood why he said this, because this document was a military award document. Wasn't he just reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War"? It happened to be related to this.
The main idea of this document is: Three months ago, Na Yan, the chief of the Limin tribe in Wuzhishan, Qiongzhou, rebelled, and also colluded with Qingde. The Limin tribes in Changhua and Changhua, a total of ten tribes, gathered tens of thousands of people, and the momentum was huge. Guangdong and Guangxi
Governor Ouyang Bijin stayed calm in the face of danger, took command from the center, and calmly mobilized elite troops to fight against the rebellion. Because Governor Ouyang Bijin mobilized his troops well, commanded with restraint, and lured the enemy deep, he succeeded in one battle and killed the thieves together.
The initial count was more than 5,300, and more than 3,700 people were surrendered. After the victory, Ouyang Bijin, in order to avoid future troubles, regardless of personal safety, was willing to take risks and go to the People's Center alone to make an agreement with the people to treat him equally.
The Li people were regarded as Han people and towns were established. The Li people surrendered wholeheartedly, vowed never to rebel again, and moved out to live in the mountains. As a result, the stubborn diseases of the Li people were eliminated, and Hainan was stable.
Ouyang Bijin?
This name is very familiar.
After Zhu Ping'an read it, he was slightly startled, then twitched his lips and smiled.
Come to think of it, isn't Ouyang Bijin the father of Ouyang Zishi, the brother-in-law of Mr. Yan Song?
My brother-in-law has achieved military exploits, and Mr. Yan Ge has seen it in person.
Zhu Ping'an didn't have much impression of Ouyang Bijin, but he knew that Ouyang Bijin had a pretty good reputation in history, at least much better than Yan Song. This man seemed to be a scientist in ancient times, in order to solve the shortage of livestock caused by the cattle plague.
To solve the problem, we researched and invented the human-powered tillage machine. It is said that "one person and one hand can be as powerful as two oxen." However, it is a pity that it was not promoted and developed, and was later lost.
But I haven’t heard of Ouyang Bijin’s military talents and achievements.
But according to this document, Ouyang Bijin was a well-known good general in the Jiajing Dynasty.
If Ouyang Bijin was so powerful, how could he be left out of the subsequent campaign to eradicate Japanese pirates? Qi Jiguang and the others were not the only famous anti-Japanese generals in history.
wrong
Zhu Pingan opened the document again and read it carefully. His intuition told him that this document was not that simple.
Read it again carefully.
Zhu Ping'an noticed that in this document, only two names appeared, one was Na Yan, the leader of the thief, and the other was Ouyang Bijin. In other words, all the credit for suppressing the rebellion went to Ouyang Bijin.
This is of course not normal.
Ouyang Bijin is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he is a feudal official. He should not personally lead troops to suppress rebellions.
After reading it carefully again, Zhu Ping'an noticed the sentence "Mobilize elite soldiers and generals to go to conquer the rebellion" in the document. This sentence can be understood as Ouyang Bijin mobilized elite soldiers and generals to conquer the rebellion, or it can also be understood as Ouyang Bijin mobilized elite soldiers and generals to conquer the rebellion.
One or several outstanding generals must be transferred to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion.
However, most people will understand it in the first meaning.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
Well, I just don’t know who this poor “strong general” is.
"Others carry swords, but my pen is like a knife." Through this document, Zhu Pingan has a deeper understanding of the word "pen is like a knife."
This document may not have been written by Ouyang Bijin, but it must have something to do with Yan Song.
