Tai Xuan Jing

"Is what you said true?" Patriarch Hai Ruo was stunned for a long time before recovering, and asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true." Li Qianmo nodded with a faint smile, and then asked, "Clan chief Hairuo, how far is the Kusang clan from here?"

The head of Hairuo said, "It's more than 3000 miles north from here."

Li Qianmo pinched his fingers and said: "It will take about eight days for Zarlun to return to the clan. After reporting the letter, the king of the Khan will adjust his troops and horses. It will take at least one day. The army will start, and the marching speed will be slower than that of a single person. It will take at least another ten days, and we still have about 20 days to prepare."

"That's great." The patriarch Hai Ruo said happily, "Tell me, what do we need to prepare?"

Li Qianmo said: "I may be a military adviser this time, because I don't know anything about how to use soldiers, so you have to collect all the military books in the clan for me to read."

Hai Ruo's heart trembled when he heard the words. It was the first time he heard that he read the book of war when he was in command. This made him feel at a loss. He asked worriedly, "Is it too late to read the book of war now?"

"It's in time." Li Qianmo said with a light smile, "The art of war lies in flexible use. Everything needs to be flexible. In fact, the principle of many things is the same. I don't read military books to learn the art of war in it. You just bring all the military books. .”

"Okay." The patriarch Hai Ruo nodded helplessly, "I'll order someone to send the book of war to you later, is there anything else I need to prepare?"

"Of course." Li Qianmo nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will gather all the soldiers and horses and train them by the police. Maybe in less than 20 days, I can give you a surprise soldier."

Hai Ruo was not very relieved of Li Qianmo, after all he had never fought a war, but for some reason, he actually believed Li Qianmo's words and immediately went to arrange what he said.

Not long after Li Qianmo returned to his tent, someone came to deliver military books to him. There were more than 80 books stacked several feet high. Li Qianmo sent the person who delivered the books away, and immediately began to review the military books.

Not only did he have an extraordinary memory, but he also read books at an amazing speed. With one glance and ten lines, he finished three military books in just half a stick of incense.

Patriarch Hai Ruo didn't seem to be at ease, so he came to see him specially. After entering the door, he saw the pile of military books piled up like a hill, and asked worriedly: "There are so many military books, how long will it take you to finish reading them?"

"Oh, it won't be long." Li Qianmo patted a pile of scattered books beside him, and said, "I'm a fast reader, and I've read so many."

"What!" Hai Ruo was shocked when he heard the words, "It's been less than an hour since it was delivered, and you've already read more than a dozen books?"

Li Qianmo smiled and nodded: "Yeah, so you don't have to worry about this. Hurry up and gather your troops. I will practice tomorrow."

Hai Ruo answered in a daze, turned around and walked out.

That night, Li Qianmo read all the military books. The military books describe the key points of marching and fighting, and some military books will talk about war cases and analyze them from the cases.

In today's world, there are countless people who are familiar with military books, but those who can really use them flexibly are rare. It is only because they stick to the rules and don't know how to adapt them that they are successful.

Li Qianmo hates formality the most, and nothing can restrict his thoughts. After reading the military book, he lay in bed and thought about it for a night, extracting the essence from it, and also understood some elements and taboos of marching and fighting.

On the next day, someone came to inform Li Qianmo to go to the school grounds to inspect the soldiers and horses. He followed the messenger to the school grounds and found that the place was already full of soldiers in armor, tens of thousands of them.

There was a high platform in front of the school grounds, Hai Ruo was already standing on it, when he saw Li Qianmo coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Li Xiaoyou, please come here quickly."

Li Qianmo walked up to the high platform as he said, and all the soldiers below were in an uproar when they saw this, wondering what was going on.

Only the head of the Hairuo tribe said loudly: "Soldiers, the Kusang tribe deceived our Baima tribe and will send a large army to attack. Everyone knows about this, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" All the soldiers stood up and shouted loudly, the sound shook the clouds, like thunder, with a majestic momentum.

Seeing this, the patriarch Hai Ruo clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, you are all good men of my Baima clan." Having said that, he paused, showing a sad look, and sighed, "But, you are not afraid, I am Scared."

All the soldiers were in an uproar again when they heard the words. They didn't expect the patriarch to say such words in front of the army. This was simply shaking the morale of the army. When everyone was wondering, the patriarch Hai Ruo continued: "The Kusang army has as many as 1, and We only have more than [-] soldiers and horses, and the disparity in military strength is nearly ten times. I am afraid that you will never come back after you go to the station. I am afraid that we will not be able to defend our homeland. Our wives and children are insulted and killed, just like livestock... ..."

After he said these words, all the soldiers lowered their heads one after another, and a heavy atmosphere was shrouded in the audience, like a dark cloud that could not be dispersed.

After Patriarch Hai Ruo finished speaking, the audience was completely silent, and the wind could almost be heard blowing by the ears.

"Patriarch, in order to defend our homeland, we are not afraid of death!" Tatamu suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted loudly.

Hearing the words, the other soldiers seemed to be ignited with passion in their hearts, and they also raised their weapons and shouted loudly. The atmosphere that was still heavy just now became extremely enthusiastic in an instant.

Hai Ruo saw it, nodded and smiled, and when they shouted enough, waved them to stop, and said slowly: "Very well, you are all good-blooded men of our Baima tribe, I will not let you die!"

Tatamu frowned and said: "Patriarch, you don't mean that you don't want to fight, right? It's a rat's behavior to hide and hide."

"Of course not." Hai Ruo stroked his swallow's beard and said with a smile on his face, "Everyone, today I want to announce one thing, that is, to appoint Li Qianmo as the military advisor of our Baima tribe, who will be responsible for leading the three armies until we repel the Kusang tribe for us." Until the army!"

"What! He is a military adviser?" As soon as the words came out, all the soldiers on the field suddenly screamed and made a lot of noise. This really surprised them and could not accept it.

"How can an outsider be our military adviser?"

"That's right, and can he be a military adviser? What qualifications does he have to be a military adviser?"

……

There were voices of opposition one after another.

Hai Ruo and Li Qianmo looked at the excited soldiers indifferently, they seemed to have expected such a scene long ago, they seemed very calm, after a long time, the noise gradually died down, Tatamu stepped forward angrily, staring He said loudly: "Patriarch, I object to letting him be our military adviser!"

"Yes! We also oppose it!" Everyone behind shouted.

Hai Ruo frowned, looked at Tatamu, and asked coldly, "Why do you object?"

"Because he is unworthy!" Tatamu glared at Li Qianmo angrily, and said with great wisdom, "Only a wise man can be called a military adviser. He has no virtue and ability. He is only about the same age as me, so he wants to be a military adviser. I firmly oppose it!"

Before Hai Ruo could speak, Li Qianmo smiled lightly and said, "How do you know I'm not a wise man?"

Tatum raised his head and said, "Although your hair is gray, you are not very old. You are only 24 years old at most. How much experience and wisdom do you have?"

Li Qianmo shook his head with a faint smile, turned his head and whispered a few words into the ear of the patriarch Hai Ruo, Hai Ruo nodded, and suddenly shouted loudly: "All soldiers obey the order, line up, line up in three rows!"

As soon as he gave the order, all the soldiers moved quickly and were well-trained. In just a moment, more than 1 people were neatly lined up in three rows, and it seemed that there were two more people in the end.

Hai Ruo looked at Li Qianmo in a blink of an eye, Li Qianmo nodded with a light smile, Hai Ruo understood, and shouted again: "Now, line up! Line up in five rows!"

All the soldiers felt baffled, but they did as they did, and they lined up into five rows again.

Li Qianmo glanced at Hai Ruo again, and Hai Ruo shouted again: "Now line up in seven rows!"

All the soldiers formed seven rows according to his request.

Li Qianmo glanced around, and said loudly: "So the strength of your clan is 1 people."

As soon as he said this, Hai Ruo and the soldiers on the field were all shocked. Hai Ruo looked at Li Qianmo in astonishment, and hurriedly asked, "How did you know?"

Li Qianmo smiled lightly and said: "This is the method of counting troops in mathematics. You just asked them to change their formation three times, just to help me count troops."

"There is such a magical technique in the world?" Hai Ruo looked at Li Qianmo in surprise.

Li Qianmo waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's nothing magical, it's just a trick."

Seeing Li Qianmo's show, all the soldiers in the field admired Li Qianmo secretly, and there were no more voices of opposition, but Tatum heard that since Li Qianmo came, Mu Hongyi often went to him, and he also I really felt that Mu Hongyi didn't like to be with him anymore, and he didn't seem to want to see him. He secretly felt jealous, and said loudly: "Li Qianmo, even if you are smart, but you know Art of war, know how to fight, that's fighting, and people will die, judging by your gentle appearance, I'm afraid you haven't even seen blood!"

Li Qianmo heard the sarcasm in his words, and couldn't help sneering: "I know a little about the art of war, and I personally think that any war should be adapted to local conditions, the time, and the people. Because there are many factors that determine the victory of a war, and they are changing all the time, only by firmly grasping the way of the three talents can we grasp the key to victory."

Hearing this, Tatamu sneered and said, "It's all empty talk, anyone can do it, and say something practical."

"No hurry." Li Qianmo waved his hands and said with a light smile, "The way of the three talents I just mentioned is something derived from the Taoist scriptures. It is impossible for you to see it in the book of war. In fact, it is simpler , that is, the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, these three are especially important, and the last is the strength and equipment."

Seeing that Tatamu couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, he continued to say with high spirits: "The weather is the weather and seasons, which will be one of the key factors affecting the war, because you can only pass the battle if you master the weather." The weather makes a plan, if you use fire to attack the enemy, and it happens to be raining at this time, wouldn't that be a failure..."

Li Qianmo explained the way of the three talents in an easy-to-understand way. All the officers and men nodded their heads. Pay attention to the formation of the troop deployment. Now that I heard Li Qianmo's opinion, I was shocked, and I don't know how to refute him.
