At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 196 Sand table deduction: How to destroy Goguryeo!
In the first assessment, Shan Xiongxin won No.1.

Xu Mu was not stingy either, and directly awarded him... the position of squad leader.

In the future, he will be responsible for distributing test papers and handing in homework.

Then, he began to explain the 36 tricks to them one by one.

The eighteen fierce men all pricked up their ears to listen, not daring to miss a single word.

After all, Xu Mu said before the lecture that every word he said...may become a test point in the future.

After this intimidation, no one dared to take it lightly.

……

The day's lecture is over.

Xu Mu stretched his waist, said get out of class, and left Whampoa Military Academy.

The rest of the people began to look at Shan Xiongxin.

gritted his teeth with hatred.

Last night, after getting "36 Strategies", they were all burning the night light and had very little sleep.

We all want to perform well today.

Who would have thought that Shan Xiongxin would win the title.

Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly: "Tell me, Old Dan, how many hours did you read yesterday?"

Pei Xingyan was also staring at him. He also read two hours of books yesterday...

As a result, there are still some places that I don't remember.

Couldn't answer it on the answer sheet.

Shan Xiongxin glanced at them, grinned and said, "I didn't sleep at all last night."

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

This is a ruthless person.

Most of them watched for an hour or two, only Shan Xiongxin stayed up all night last night...

"The rankings are out, everyone come and see!"

When everyone was silent, Luo Shixin rushed in and shouted.

Only then did Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yaojin and the others come back to their senses, moved their feet, and walked out of the classroom.

On the wall outside the classroom, a large piece of red paper was posted impressively.

"The results of the first assessment."

These seven big characters are written in the first part, followed by the name of No.1 Shan Xiongxin.

Second, No.2...Cheng Yaojin.

"Hahahaha, my old Cheng knows it! If it weren't for Shan Xiongxin, I would be the leader!" Cheng Yaojin almost jumped up happily, and his loud voice echoed throughout the classroom.

Everyone was stunned and felt very uncomfortable.

Cheng Yaojin, an idiot, can actually take second place.

And below, Pei Xingyan No.3...

……

Until the end, Wang Bodang No.18.

After reading the list, everyone felt extremely complicated.

Especially Wang Bodang, when he was the last one, his face turned red and he was very ashamed.

Wang Zhao, who was wearing a black armor, came towards them and glanced at them: "Who is Wang Bodang?"

Everyone took a step back calmly, highlighting Uncle Wang.

Wang Zhao nodded and said, "Very good, come with me. Twenty laps of the school field, as a punishment, next time if you are still the last one, then double to forty laps!"

talking...

Whether Wang Bodang was willing or not, two personal guards stepped forward and escorted the desperate Wang Bodang to the school grounds.

Seeing Uncle Wang's desperate eyes when he left, everyone shuddered.

A circle of the school field is equivalent to one mile...

Twenty laps is twenty miles.

And if it ends twice in a row, it will be doubled...

"It must not be the last exam!"

This idea came to everyone's mind in unison.

Especially after seeing that night, Wang Bodang was like a dead dog, being carried back by Tiefutu's personal guards, which made them more determined.

……

"Wang Bodang finished twenty laps?"

Xiaoyanglou, Xu Mu couldn't help asking, looking at Wang Zhao who had returned.

This punishment was naturally formulated by him.

As long as the last one works hard, the pressure on No.2 from the bottom will be great.

Thus forcing the countdown No.2 to work hard, and then driving the countdown No.3 to work hard...

Because if he doesn't work hard, the bottom one and the bottom two are both working hard, and he may become the bottom one in the next assessment.

"I'm done running, it's just... I'm exhausted and paralyzed." Wang Zhao swallowed as he looked at such a frenzied lord.

Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Have the lights in other people's rooms been turned off?"

In fact, last night, Xu Mu asked Wang Zhao to send someone to observe this group of people, only to find that Shan Xiongxin stayed up all night until dawn.

After the others read the book for a few hours, the lights in the room were turned off.

Wang Zhao thought for a while and replied, "The lights in everyone's rooms are still on, and there is no intention to turn off the lights."

After a pause, he added: "Wang Bodang's room is also the same."

Only then did Xu Mu nodded in satisfaction.

What a studious student!

It won't be long before the Whampoa Military Academy will be a batch-manufacturing machine for famous generals.

When famous generals walk out of Henan County one after another, his colleagues may doubt their lives.

……

The next day, everyone came to the classroom listlessly.

But this time, Xu Mu didn't simply teach, he brought a sand table.

A square, which is formed by the accumulation of sand, depicts the mountains and mountains, and standardizes the data of scale contour lines.

This sand table was made by Cui Ji.

If you want to become a famous general, it is of course not enough to just learn the art of war. Troop training and army dispatching are very important.

And the sand table is undoubtedly the best tool to avoid people talking on paper.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, General Fubo Ma Yuan created the earliest sand table.

That's right, it's General Fubo who told the story of the shroud of horse leather.

He piled rice grains into mountains, simulating mountains and marching roads, so that the battle information is clear at a glance.

Unfortunately, this tradition has not been handed down.

Xu Mu discovered that people in this era like to march and fight...looking at maps.

Moreover, the map is very rough, it only records where there are mountains and where there are rivers.

Details are simply out of reach.

Xu Mu spent a day teaching everyone how to use the sand table.

Only then did everyone realize the true meaning of the sand table.

Immediately shocked.

They have experienced the battlefield for a long time, and they know that... many times, the most fearful thing to command an army is to follow the map, only to find that there is a swamp on the road, or there is no bridge to cross the river.

That's it.

And the sand table drawn so accurately completely solved their problems.

Especially the contour line and scale, the height of mountains, and the depth of river water can all be clearly understood.

"This is the work of the director of the Geography Department of Wanmin City." Xu Mu didn't take credit for it, and directly promoted it to Cui Ji.

Pei Xingyan immediately praised: "My lord's words are true. Wanmin City is really full of talents. Such an accurate map can be drawn. In the future, when marching and fighting, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will be invincible!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

Is not this nonsensical?

These people were carefully selected by him and kidnapped from outside.

Naturally everyone is a talent.

If it weren't for his talents, he wouldn't be tied up.

Later, after everyone became familiar with the usage of the sand table, Xu Mu asked them to simulate the dispatching and training of troops in small-scale wars.

"Tonight, get familiar with how to use the sand table. Tomorrow, there will be a new assessment."

Before leaving, Xu Mu assigned another task.

Everyone's hearts sank, and their expressions couldn't help becoming dignified.

Involuntarily looked at Wang Bodang.

When Wang Bodang saw this, his face was flushed, and he was filled with shame and indignation: "Look at me! This time, I will never be the bottom one!"

……

That night, this group of people turned on the lights to fight at night, and continued to study the sand table all night long....

Especially Wang Bodang, even Alexander.

Others are the last one, as long as they run twenty miles.

But he had to run forty miles.

The next day, when Xu Mu opened the door and walked into the classroom, everyone couldn't help but tremble.

"Come on, Lao Yang, my Wanmin City has just recruited a group of students who want to learn the art of war, and I plan to give them an assessment today, and you will be the chief examiner."

Xu Mu took the lead, walked into the classroom, and said to the back at the same time.

Behind Xu Mu, Yang Guang followed closely, also walked into the classroom, and noticed eighteen pairs of eyes.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Director Yang of the Municipal Planning Department of the Lord's Mansion." Xu Mu introduced them.

"Meet Director Yang."

The 18 people stood up one after another and saluted Yang Guang.

All of them were hulking, and Yang Guang looked at them with a concentrated expression, his eyelids twitching.

He used to be the Son of Heaven, with a vicious vision, he could tell at a glance that this group of people were veterans who had experienced many battles.

The evil spirit on them cannot be concealed.

But now she is sitting in the classroom so obediently, becoming a student...

He couldn't help looking at Xu Mu suspiciously.

To be honest, Xu Mu gave him too many surprises.

So much so that he is no stranger to it now.

"I don't know what the master's exam questions are this time?" Yang Guang couldn't help asking.

He is very busy with the work of the Municipal Planning Department and has many things to do.

I have always thought about finishing Wanmin City as soon as possible, and then made a condition with Xu Mu to take Xiao Meiniang back to Wanmin City.

Xu Mu grinned, and immediately asked Wang Zhao to move a huge sand table into the classroom.

This sand table directly covered the entire podium.

"Old Yang, haven't you always wanted to conquer Goguryeo? The content of the assessment this time is how to use the sand table to deduce how to conquer Goguryeo!"

Before the words fell, Yang Guang's eyes straightened.

At present, the Municipal Planning Department and Xiao Mei Niang are all forgotten.

Stepping forward quickly, he looked at the sand table.

Looking at the familiar terrain outside Goguryeo, Baekje and other countries adjacent to Goguryeo...

He has personally visited every terrain.

Three expeditions to Goguryeo, he has an inexplicable entanglement with this small northeastern country.

Crossing that river is the scope of Goguryeo!

"Lifelike, like the palm of your hand, this sand table is simply a natural weapon of war!"

Yang Guang stared at the sand table for a long time, and found that every place he had been to had signs on the sand table.

If he had had this sand table back then, it would not have been impossible for him to take down Goguryeo with the power of the whole country!
Xu Mu then asked 18 people to gather in front of the sand table and observe carefully.

"The content of today's assessment is to give you an army of one hundred thousand troops, how can you take down Goguryeo as quickly as possible with the least damage!"

Looking at the 18 people, Xu Mu announced the content of today's assessment.

The 18 people immediately whispered to each other according to the map on the sand table.

Began to express their views, discussing various possibilities.

After discussing for a long time, we came to a consistent conclusion: "Master, Goguryeo is far away, adjacent to Baekje and other countries, with many allies, dangerous mountains and rivers, and bad weather. If it is to be captured, it may take 50 troops and it will take several years to attack. Down!"
