The Sword of Six Doors Points at the Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 634 Thunderbolt!
Xu Mao was stopped by Ye Xiuwen's questions, and the generals behind Xu Mao couldn't hold back their joy.

Because everyone knows that General Xu Mao can only recite the original text, and if you want him to explain, then read it.

At this moment, Xu Mao was also in a hurry, sweating all over his forehead, and finally he could only scratch his head and smile innocently: "Hey, my lord, I can only recite, I don't know what it means."

"Hmph, you can't fool the emperor with just this bit of knowledge." Ye Xiuwen laughed, and then said while pacing: "The meaning of what Sun Tzu said is: war is the first priority of a country." Major events are related to the life and death of the army and the people, and the survival of the country, so they must be carefully observed, analyzed, and studied.

Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the five aspects of the enemy and the enemy, compare the seven situations, and obtain details to predict the possibility of the outcome of the war.

The first is Tao, the second is heaven, the third is earth, the fourth is general, and the fifth is law.

Tao means that the monarch and the people have the same goal and unity of will, so that they can live and die together without fear of danger.

Sky refers to day and night, cloudy and sunny, cold and heat, and the change of seasons.

Land refers to the height of the terrain, the distance of the distance, the danger of the terrain, whether it is flat or not, the width or narrowness of the battlefield, whether it is a place of life or death, and other geographical conditions.

General refers to a general who is resourceful, trustworthy in rewards and punishments, sincerely caring for his subordinates, brave and decisive, and has strict military discipline.

Law refers to organizational structure, division of responsibilities, staffing, management system, resource guarantee, and material allocation.

Generals have to have a deep understanding of these five aspects.You can win if you understand, otherwise you can't win.Therefore, it is necessary to predict the outcome of the war by examining and analyzing the various situations of the two sides and comparing them accordingly.
Of course, your phrase of knowing yourself and your enemy is very good, at least you have carefully surveyed the topography of the seven mountains and eight villages before the battle, "

Ye Xiuwen praised Xu Mao with a few words, but he didn't want to include Xu Mao, all the generals in this room, big and small, were stupid on the spot.

No one thought that this young prince would know so much.Not only is martial arts superior to others, but the art of war is also very logical.

"My lord? Look at this battle, how should we fight?" Everyone said together, wanting to ask for an idea.

"This battle is said to be difficult to fight, and it is also difficult to fight, but it is said to be easy to fight."

When Ye Xiuwen said this, he pointed to the sand table and said, "There are seven mountains and eight villages in a row. These mountains are not only steep, but there are rolling logs and stones on the mountains. Let alone ordinary soldiers, even the masters of the rivers and lakes It’s not easy to go up there.”

"Yeah yeah!"

Before Ye Xiuwen finished speaking, everyone responded in unison, because Ye Xiuwen was so right.

The Seven Mountains and Eight Villages are not only numerous in number, but they are all masters, and they occupy the terrain. If you want to attack, let alone an army of 20, even 200 million, I am afraid it will not be able to.

"My lord? If that's the case, what should we do? This battle doesn't look very optimistic?" the crowd said again.

"This battle is going to be fought, but we can't attack the mountain like before. We have to lure the people on the mountain down to fight.

We have Ironclads.Although the overall strength of this armored army is not as good as that of warriors, warriors with iron armor on their bodies can't hurt him, so a few times of charging can severely damage the enemy. "

Ye Xiuwen came one by one, and all the generals present nodded.They all felt that the prince was right.

But at this time, how to lure the other party down the mountain became a problem again.

But Ye Xiuwen smiled a little, pointed at Xu Mao and said, "Xu Mao? Have you forgotten that when you were the commander-in-chief, the emperor gave you eight thunder cannons to give you a strong reputation?"

"what?"

Xu Mao was startled, he said he forgot about this.When he was canonized as the general soldier, some senior officials in the court disagreed.However, Emperor Shengde not only did not accept the remonstrance, but also rewarded him with eight thunder cannons to cheer him up.

This thunder cannon is very powerful, there are only 32 in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Sixteen of them are in the capital, eight are in Yongzhou, and there are eight others that were rewarded by Emperor Shengde in various places.

Therefore, it can only be said that Emperor Shengde was too eccentric, and gave most of such important firepower to this person who looked like a waste to others.

"Wait, wait, lord? The Thunderbolt was rewarded to me by the emperor. I built a large warehouse and kept it in order not to damage it. Also, I have to bow down every day to thank you. "

Xu Mao stopped suddenly.Apparently, he has already regarded the eight Thunderbolts as a family heirloom, to be passed down from generation to generation.

Ye Xiuwen saw that this was not good, Xu Mao regarded those things as treasures, if he refused to take them out, this battle would be lost in all likelihood.

So Ye Xiuwen thought for a while, grabbed Xu Mao's shoulder, pulled it aside and said, "Do you think that the emperor rewarded you with Thunderbolt, and asked you to confess it like an ancestor? The emperor asked you to take it." It’s built on merit.”

"Make meritorious deeds?" Xu Mao asked back, with an expression of disbelief.Because he is very self-aware, as long as he is like this, if he can be a general soldier, it will come to an end.On the contrary, the words 'making contributions' are too extravagant for him.

He even thought that he would not fight this time, anyway, people from all over the world would not dare to touch him.

At this moment, all of Xu Mao's expressions and movements fell into Ye Xiuwen's eyes.Ye Xiuwen knew exactly what kind of person Xu Mao was.

This person has no ability, just wants to live a life of dignity.

Perhaps the decision he made three days ago has long since regretted it.

However, if Ye Xiuwen can make him impulsive once, he can make him impulsive again.

Ye Xiuwen patted Xu Mao on the shoulder and said, "Xu Mao? You said that the emperor entrusted such an important thing to you. Why?"

"Let me keep them well and pass them on from generation to generation?" Xu Mao asked tentatively.He thought so in his mind, so he asked directly.

But after hearing this, Ye Xiuwen smiled lightly and said, "Those things are all stored in the warehouse, what's the difference between them and scrap metal? The Thunderbolt was built by the emperor with a lot of money, and it's powerful!"

"Then what does the emperor mean?" Xu Mao asked puzzled.

"The emperor asked you to make the best use of what you had, to give his elders a face. When you were canonized back then, many ministers in the court opposed it.

But the emperor rejected all opinions, and even rewarded you with Thunderbolt, what is this for?The purpose is to let you use this thunderbolt to give him the old man's face.

And you are good, to hide these destructive cannons.Although the emperor didn't say anything, his face was dull! "

After Ye Xiuwen finished speaking, he smiled faintly, while Xu Mao, as if awakened from a dream, said, "My lord, I understand, I have to give the emperor a face. I can't let his old man's face be dull, I'm called a man, Pull out Hong Tianlei and blast those rebellious officials and thieves to death!"
