The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 251 Secret Art of War
Lianazha fiddled with the book in her hand, and said in a low voice: "The art of war, I just don't understand some words, I think I will ask you when I go back."

Zhao Tang wondered: "What kind of military strategy, show me."

Lianazha handed over the book in her hand and said, "I bought it at a bookstore in the city. The price is very expensive. The store said that if there is no war, this kind of military book cannot be sold."

Zhao Tang took the book and took a look. On the cover there were only four words "Secret Book of Art of War". He opened it and looked at it, but it turned out that it was a hand-copied Tangong policy.

Tan Gong is Tan Daoji, a man in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the founding father of Liu Song, a famous general in the world, and a great military strategist.

He was Liu Yuxinchen, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty. He followed Liu Yu in the southern and northern wars, and made outstanding military exploits.

The 36 Strategies handed down by later generations came from Tan Daoji, who compiled a book for Tan Daoji's research on ancient and modern conspiracies. The original name of the 36 Strategies was called Tan Gong 36 Strategies.

It’s just that the 36 strategies of Tan Gong belonged to the secret art of war for a long time, unlike Sun Tzu, Wu Zi, the Six Secrets and Three Strategies, or even the military classics of this dynasty, which were all published and circulated among the court and the upper echelons of the army .

The 36 strategies of Tan Gong were handed down from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, almost all of which were hand-copied, and no books were published.

However, the manuscripts handed down from generation to generation are often incomplete, and the 36 strategies are roughly divided into six or six numbers, and the six strategies are used as a secret book. If you want to collect them all, you have to search repeatedly.

Especially the final six strategies for defeating battles are extremely difficult to obtain. Many people who study 36 strategies, even if they know the names of the six strategies for defeating battles, but because they have never seen the interpretation of Tan Gong, they always try to figure it out. That's why.

Liannazha’s Tan Gong Policies is also a six-strategy book. It records the first set of 36 strategies for winning battles. The fifth strategy takes advantage of the fire to loot, and the sixth strategy strikes east and west.

Zhao Tong flipped through it for a while, and found that the manuscript was considered conscientious, and it was not too biased beyond the interpretation of the six strategies.

He returned the book to Lianazha, and said, "There are 36 numbers in this book, and your book only has six numbers, which are the six strategies at the beginning."

Lianazha said: "The shopkeeper of the book also said that it is not a complete copy, and you need to search for others."

Zhao Tong nodded: "I remember this book by heart, but I can tell you without reading the book."

Lianaza asked in surprise, "General Li has read this military book?"

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "I have read it since I was a child, but I have never forgotten it. I just saw that the copy of this book is still a little flawed. It is safer for me to teach you directly."

Lianazha said: "That's the best. I read it a little jerky. Even if I recognize some words, I'm afraid that I may misunderstand them and misunderstand the meaning."

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "Don't Uighurs have military books?"

Lianazha shook her head: "Occasionally, it is also passed down from Song Dynasty and Persia, but it is different from this kind, and it is more difficult to read."

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "Then I will tell General Shangguan now."

Then he started talking about the first strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao. After the six strategies were finished, the sky had turned a little pale.

Li Yanaza had been listening attentively, even after Zhao Tun finished speaking, she sat there thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Tun smiled and said: "You can study this book again, there is no unchanging truth on the battlefield. Art of war is dead, but human beings are alive, you can't use dead art of art of war to imitate living people."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk out.

Lianaza suddenly said, "What about the others?"

Zhao Tong paused when he heard the words, and said: "What else?" "

Lianna's eyes were like stars, and said: "Isn't there a total of 36 strategies? This is only six strategies. When will you tell me the others?"

Zhao Tun turned around with a puzzled look on his face: "Did I say that there are 36 strategies in total? Did I say that... I don't remember saying it!"

Lianna stared at him for a long time before saying: "General Li, how can I teach the other thirty strategies?"

Zhao Tun's face was strange, and he said for a moment: "Really? That's because I remembered wrongly. It's not 36 strategies, only 35 strategies!"

Liannazha said: "The bookstore said that there are 36 strategies in total. You also said 36 strategies just now, and now it has become 35 strategies. General Li, you..."

Zhao Tong shook his head apologetically: "No matter if it is more than 35 strategies, I only remember 35 strategies. General Shangguan also knows that this kind of secret military book has not been published, so it is really not easy to read [-] strategies."

Liannaza suddenly smiled: "35 strategies are 35 strategies...how will General Li be willing to pass on the rest?"

Zhao Tun thought for a while, then smiled slightly and said: "I heard that Uighur dances are stunning, graceful, and extremely beautiful. I am so yearning for it. When it is dark, I will step on the moon to see it. Jun Su Yada will not make me go back and forth in vain." also."

After finishing speaking, he went out and left, and went down the tower in a short breath.

Lianazha looked at his back, smiled sweetly, and said to herself: "36 strategies have become 35 strategies, and I still want to watch dancing, it's wishful thinking..."

Zhao Tun led his people to the north gate of Luzhou, where he and Zhuo Mao exchanged guards, and after a while Zhuo Mao arrived, he rode back to his residence.

After Zhao Tun arrived at the mansion, he didn't even eat breakfast, and fell asleep. When he woke up, he immediately called Huang Gu, explained some things carefully, and Huang Gu left in a hurry.

Then he went to the courtyard to play with guns. The marksmanship he played was mixed and incomplete. The moves were all from Zhenzong's arsenal.

But these marksmanship, even if some of them are just one and a half moves, they are incomparably exquisite, and Yao Pingzhong is dazed beside him, scratching his head from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening again, and Zhao Tuo went out of the mansion to continue handing over with Zhuo Mao, and two days passed like this.

Suddenly that night, Zhao Tun was talking with the general guarding the gate on the northern city, when the guard at the gate who was looking into the distance suddenly shouted: "General, general!"

The general guarding the north gate was called Lu Cheng, and he said angrily, "What's the ghost's name?"

The little soldier hurriedly shouted: "General, there are soldiers, there are soldiers coming from afar..."

Lu Cheng's expression changed immediately when he heard the words, and he ran over a few steps to have a look, Zhao Tun also followed closely, and saw dots of torches approaching in the distance, and he couldn't see how many people there were.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that the team in front has returned?"

As the sound of horseshoes approached, Zhao Tang frowned, shook his head and said, "General Lu, it doesn't look like..."

Lu Cheng was sweating immediately, and said, "Look again, look again!"

Zhao Tang squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but saw that they were all cavalry, about two or three thousand, and they were gradually approaching the city. With the help of the opponent's torches and the moonlight in the sky, we could vaguely see the armor shape of these cavalry, which turned out to be the imperial army of the Song Dynasty!
