The drums of the generals gathered in the Tang camp were sounded, and all the civil and military officials arrived one after another.
Li Shimin was very strict in running the army. If the generals could not get through three times, they would be killed! But no one dared to neglect them.
There was silence in the tent. Li Shimin sat in the middle and glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides, but found that Xue Shou and Xia Yu were missing.
Not busy yet? Li Shimin was confused.
Many people also secretly exchanged glances, looking forward to it.
Soon, the Third Tong Jujiang drum sounded. After half a minute, when Li Shimin was feeling restless, Xia Yu and Xue came in.
"Your Highness," Xia Yu, whose eyes were red from the heat, cupped her hands and said excitedly, "Fortunately, I have lived up to my command."
Xue looked back and waved: "Bring it up."
Lift it up?
Everyone was confused when they saw several craftsmen carrying a huge object in panting and placing it in the middle.
The giant object is square in shape, several meters in diameter, and covered with a layer of black cloth, which really adds to the mystery of the pipa half-covering its face.
"Sir, what is this?" Li Shimin looked curious.
Xia Yu didn't answer directly, but just smiled proudly: "Everyone, don't blink, watch carefully." He pulled the black cloth handsomely.
Suddenly, a square military sand table revealed the true face of Mount Lu.
On the sand table, piles of soil turned into mountains, mercury turned into rivers, and trees were built into cities. The Tang army was represented by red flags, and the Zheng army was represented by blue flags. Some famous mountains, big rivers, and important passes were also clearly marked, and even the chief generals were marked in detail.
Who is it, how many troops are there...
This small sand table seems to condense the entire Central Plains into this small area, which is very magical.
In this way, no matter the terrain, the details of the enemy or ourselves, everything is clear at a glance, which is more than a hundred times better than the previous map!
This is the result of Xia Yu and Xue Shou's busy night.
There was a lot of geographical and enemy information that even Xue Shou didn't know. It was all added in based on Xia Yu's memories from her previous life.
At the scene, Li Shimin only glanced at the scene, jumped up, and rushed to the sand table as fast as he could.
"This is a divine thing!"
After all, he was an unparalleled military genius. Li Er saw the great military value of the sand table at a glance and was ecstatic.
Compared with the previous map, eh, it is indeed unsightly!
When the civil and military officials heard this, they also rushed forward and watched intensely.
Because there were so many people, Xia Yu and Xue Shou were overwhelmed in an instant, so they had no choice but to step aside and smile at each other.
It seems that the whole night was not in vain.
"It's indeed a good thing!" Li Shiji, who also had extraordinary eyesight, exclaimed: "There is such a thing. If you know yourself and the enemy, you can see it clearly at a glance."
"Yes, yes, with the help of this divine object, why should I, the Tang Dynasty, be so worried?"
“Mr.
Everyone also agreed and were convinced.
I can't help but believe that no one present could have imagined this thing in front of me, let alone made it overnight.
"Where is Mr. Xia?" Li Shimin looked around excitedly.
Everyone was looking around for a while, and then they realized that the real owner had been squeezed into a corner by them, and they couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
"Sir, you are a great talent, what is this?" Li Shimin stepped forward, grabbed Xia Yu's hand, and pulled him excitedly to the sand table.
Xia Yu was a little helpless. What was wrong with these ancient people? They always liked to hold people's hands.
Two grown men, don't you think it's awkward?
"Back to Your Highness, this thing is called a sand table, and it is a secret that has not been passed down in our Guigu Valley." Xia Yu raised the flag and said proudly: "With this thing, the country is under control. No matter it is a pre-war deduction,
Scheduling during battle is very convenient, much easier to use than that map."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
It turned out to be an undisclosed secret of the Guigu sect, which made sense. For a time, no one dared to doubt the identity of Xia Yu Guigu's disciples.
"Okay, okay," Li Shimin was overjoyed and said with great emotion: "Sir, if you present this sacred object, it has done a great job. You can play it to your father on a horse, and you will be rewarded heavily."
Li Shimin did not exaggerate.
With the help of the sand table, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to start a war with others, the temple would have won a game first. To put it bluntly, its effect was no less than conquering the city.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xia Yu smiled and thanked, but withdrew her hand calmly: "However, Master Xue also helped a lot, Your Highness must not forget it.
Xue Sou was ashamed. He was a humble gentleman, but he didn't want to take credit. He said hurriedly: "No, no, I'm just doing the trick. It's all Mr. Xia's credit."
"Haha, Xue Qing, don't be humble, you will still be rewarded." Li Shimin was in a good mood and laughed.
At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly looked around.
Li Shimin wondered: "What are you looking for, sir?"
"Oh, I'm looking for His Highness Prince Qi." Xia Yu said seriously, "I want to ask him if he still thinks I'm a liar?"
Pretending to be cool without being slapped in the face will reduce your happiness by half.
Xia Yu's life creed has always been: a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is too far away, seize the day!
"..."
Everyone was speechless: this Mr.
Where is Li Yuanji?
This guy is hiding behind Yuchi Gong's body as big as a bear and tiger.
Although this person is a playboy and unruly, he has received strict military education from the Guanlong Military Group since he was a child, and his level is still quite good.
As soon as he saw the sand table, he knew that he was going to be embarrassed. How could he dare to show his face again?
Yuchi Gong was exhausted, and neither he nor Li Yuanji could deal with him. As soon as he heard Xia Yu's attack, the old black man showed up as his real master and said cheerfully: "His Royal Highness, King Qi, are we looking for you?"
At that moment, everyone was watching, and Li Yuanji almost died. His face was red with shame and he had nothing to say.
Li Shimin was also a little embarrassed, but after all, Li Yuanji was also the royal family of the Tang Dynasty and the deputy commander of the army. He couldn't help but save the situation.
"My fourth brother is young and ignorant. Sir, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as him."
"By the way, since sir has made this sand table, he must have a clever plan for this Eastern Expedition. The people of the world are not talented, so I hope you can give me some advice."
He is worthy of being an emperor through the ages. He is as open-minded as ever. In the face of superiors, Li Shimin has a very low profile.
As soon as his second brother changed the subject, Li Yuanji quickly ran away and hid behind others.
Xia Yu sneered in her heart, knowing that this guy wouldn't be around for long, and didn't want to see him again, so he pretended not to see it.
Xia Yu picked up a wooden stick from the sand table and used the sand table as a battlefield to talk.
"Your Highness, everyone, we all know that Wang Shichong's puppet Zheng has established his capital in Luoyang, so if we attack Luoyang, we will win this battle."
"However, Luoyang is not a city, but a fortress system."
"Luoyang is located in the Central Plains. The terrain is flat and smooth. It seems to be undefeable, but there are countless fortresses around it to firmly protect it."
"Therefore, if you want to attack Luoyang, you must first pull out the surrounding areas to cut off its food and grass and cut off its reinforcements."
When everyone in Li Shimin heard this, they nodded one after another. They thought so too. Mr. Xia's strategic vision is indeed sharp!
"Sir, do you have any specific plans?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"have!"
"On the western front, as long as our army breaks through the town of Cijian, it can go east along the ancient Xiaohan Road and attack Luoyang. Zheng's army will no longer be able to defend it."
"On the southern route, a general can attack Longmen and cut off the Yishui River, making it impossible for the Zheng army in Xiangyang to send reinforcements to the north."
"On the northern route, Hedong Road can send troops south to attack Hanoi, destroy the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, and cut off all connections with Luoyang."
"The Eastern Front is a bit difficult."
"Back to Luocang, Gongyi, Yanshi, Luokou, Hulao, and other important places are all far away in the hinterland of Zheng's army. Our army is currently out of reach."
"However, as long as we wait for the three fronts to encircle Luoyang, we can then divide our forces to the east."
"If the Eastern Front is lost again, Luoyang will be like a ripe fruit, easily accessible. We can attack or besiege as we please."
Xia Yu held a wooden stick in his hand and pointed at the country, full of enthusiasm.
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Li Shimin was very happy: "Sir, what I think is the same as what Gu Zhen is a hero. I didn't expect that I, sir, and Gu are really good friends."
"Your Highness is so talented and powerful, how can I dare to compare with you?"
Xia Yu was polite, but she was laughing secretly in her heart. This was Li Shimin's proud work in history. It's strange that it's different!
The civil and military officials knew that someone was cheating, and they respected him even more.
You know, Li Shimin has not yet revealed how to advance in the next step, so Xia Yu has revealed it in one word, which is really a great talent!
