Chapter 2702
Liu Mingzhi was stunned by Duan Dingbang's words. It's not that he has never seen a confident person, but this is the first time he has seen a confident person like Duan Dingbang.

Confident enough to give people a feeling of high ambition and arrogance, especially in front of oneself.

I really liked Duan Dingbang's character and ability, but now Liu Mingzhi felt a little hesitant in his heart.

It is a good thing to have confidence and ambition, but blind self-confidence is not advisable.

He was suddenly worried that Duan Dingbang might be another Zhao Kuo who was talking on paper, with empty ambitions, but ended up failing.

If Duan Dingbang was an experienced commander in chief of the three armies, he would definitely not have doubts about his ability to lead the army when he said what he said just now.

But now he is still a rookie who has never been on the battlefield. In this situation, he has such a posture, so he can't allow himself to have to think about it.

This time going to Dashi, there are not only Duan Dingbang alone, but also hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Tianzhu.

As the king of a country with a great dragon, I have to be more cautious about the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

However, I am not the kind of person who can't see youth and frivolity. After all, the world is so big that there are no surprises, and everything is possible.

This kid may be the second Zhao Kuo who talks about war on paper, or he may be a heroic existence like the second champion Hou Huo Qubing.

As for what kind of person he is, I will know the general idea after I take the exam.

From the moment Song Qing took his seat in the gazebo, he had been observing the third brother's expression and reaction in a dark way.

Seeing the third younger brother's slightly stunned reaction to Duan Dingbang's words, Song Qing couldn't help saying something bad in his heart.

He had known Liu Mingzhi for decades, and he couldn't understand First Young Master Liu's disposition. From the slight change in the third brother's expression, Song Qing had already seen the change in the third brother's mind.

Song Qing wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but for a while, he didn't know what to say. He didn't fully understand what the third brother was thinking at the moment, and if he spoke rashly, it might be self-defeating.

Song Qing pondered for a long time, and finally chose to wait and see.

He quite understands Young Master Liu's personality. Since the third brother has not shown dissatisfaction yet, it means that there is still room and opportunity for negotiation.

But whether Duan Dingbang can seize this opportunity, now he has to resign himself to fate!
Not only Song Qing, but everyone in the gazebo seemed to have noticed the subtle change in the expression on Young Master Liu's face.

Although the three Qi Yun sisters would not be nervous because of her husband's change of expression, they couldn't help being nervous in their hearts.

Xu Ling's heart had been softened because of Liu Mingzhi's and his wife's peaceful attitude towards others, but at this moment, because of Young Master Liu's expression, it was raised in her throat again, thumping non-stop.

Duan Rui and Duan Hongling's brothers and sisters also became inexplicably nervous. The two brothers and sisters also faintly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the gazebo.

Compared to the other people's nervous expressions, Duan Dingbang's expression became cramped, but he didn't react too nervously. He still held the military map in his hand and stood motionless in front of Young Master Liu.

Liu Mingzhi remained silent for a long time with a calm expression, then slowly stood up from the stone bench and looked at Qi Yun who was on the side.

"Rhyme."

"The concubine is here."

"Now you, Yan'er and Sister Ya are accompanying Mrs. Sister-in-law, Duan Rui, Hongling and the three of them chatting first, and going to the imperial garden for husband, eldest brother and this boy Dingbang.

Right now, the scenery in the imperial garden is pleasant, the three of us will have a feast after we come back. "

"Hey, I already know."

Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, flapping the folding fan in his hand, and walked out of the gazebo first.

"Brother, Dingbang, you two come with me."

"Ok."

"My minister obeys."

Xu Ling's mother and son, who really couldn't figure out what Young Master Liu was thinking, immediately got up and saluted.

"Chen and concubine respectfully send your majesty."

"I respectfully send it to Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi heard the voices of Duan Rui and the others behind him, but he didn't make any response, and walked straight towards the depths of the imperial garden.

The three of them walked about a hundred steps, Young Master Liu's footsteps gradually slowed down, and he calmly turned his head and glanced at Duan Dingbang who was following behind.

"Dingbang."

"The minister is here."

"Do you know what you just said?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the minister is clear in his heart."

"Really clear?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I really understand."

"You know that the king is no joke, and the military order is no joke. Before I take it seriously, you still have one chance to regret it.

When I am really serious, even if you want to repent, it will be too late.Let me ask you one last time, do you really understand? "

Duan Dingbang subconsciously glanced at Song Qing at the side, seeing Song Qing nodding his head and lowering his eyebrows without looking sideways, he took a deep breath, and replied firmly to Young Master Liu.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am very clear in my heart."

Liu Mingzhi squinted slightly sideways at Song Qing, and finally fixed his eyes on Duan Dingbang.

"Dingbang, what is the art of war?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war. Soldiers are the major affairs of the country; generals are the assistants of the country. The commander of the army must have the virtue of being in charge of the three armies, not chaotic in times of crisis, and commanding with confidence.

The meaning of the words is that a handsome man should be strategized and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. "

The gratification in Young Master Liu's eyes flashed away, and he asked softly again: "What is the way to use troops?"

"It's as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as immovable as a mountain, knowing yourself and the enemy, winning every battle.

The implication is that soldiers are deceitful.

There are thousands of changes in a tricky statement, please forgive me for the crime of not being able to explain it to you in detail. "

"Why?"

"I have no experience in battle, so I dare not make false statements about how to use troops."

Liu Mingzhi exhaled silently, his originally quiet eyes gradually became more lively, turned the thumb lever and raised his eyes to look at the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden.

"This time, how do you intend to win the expedition against the barbarians? In other words, what do you think the real way to use troops is in your heart?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, subjugating soldiers without fighting is the real way to use troops. Relying on the power of swords and soldiers to kill all directions, this is the courage of a man.

Even if you can win a game with the advantage of swordsmanship, it is only a momentary quickness.

Therefore, the best way to use troops is to subdue others without fighting. "

Liu Mingzhi's steps suddenly stopped, and he suddenly turned around and looked at Duan Dingbang who was half a step behind him.

"Are you thinking about these words, or did you see them somewhere?"

Duan Dingbang straightened his body suddenly, reached out his hand and took out something wrapped in silk from the armor and handed it to First Young Master Liu.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare not lie to Your Majesty. These words are the thoughts I learned from the book in my hand."

Liu Mingzhi looked at the pale white silk cloth in Duan Dingbang's hand with a slightly surprised expression, and turned his head to wink at Song Qing who was beside him.

"Big brother."

"Understood."

Song Qing immediately punched, raised his hand and stretched out towards the silk cloth in Duan Dingbang's hand.

After taking the silk cloth that Duan Dingbang held in his hand, Song Qing took out a book from the silk cloth, and handed it to Young Master Liu without hesitation.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi silently took the booklet handed over by Song Qing, and directly looked down at the contents in front of the two of them.

After half a cup of tea, Liu Mingzhi closed the book in his hand with melancholy eyes, and handed it directly to Song Qing.

"Brother, take a look too."

"Yes."

After Song Qing took the book and flipped through it for a while, he looked at the third younger brother Liu Dashao standing in front of him with a complicated expression.

"The content recorded here seems to be some words that you once said, third brother."

Liu Mingzhi nodded noncommittally, looking at Duan Dingbang who was nodding and lowering his eyebrows with melancholy eyes.

"Dingbang, is this booklet your father left you?"

"Report to Your Majesty, exactly."
