Chapter 145 Beginners in the Art of War

In terms of the art of war, Shen Han is just a beginner.

I have grown up so big, I have never even set foot in a military camp.

As for whether what was written in that gentleman's book is in line with the reality, Shen Han has no idea.

But Shen Han can still see that this gentleman has extremely profound military attainments based on analysis and thinking alone.

At least I can convince myself.

The night passed.

On the second day, Shen Han took the manuscript early and went to Zangshu Pavilion.

As for the manuscript, it is better to return it earlier.

Looking at the time, it's just the time of day.

At this point in time, there were not even two people in Zangshu Pavilion who came here to read books.

Shen Han still walked to the place where he usually sat. The gentleman from yesterday had already been waiting here.

Looking at Shen Han, he is more kind today.

"Why are you here so early, have you finished reading that manuscript?"

Hearing this, Shen Han immediately returned the manuscript.

"I studied it last night, but the students' knowledge of the art of war is really superficial, and I don't know if I have grasped the essence of it."

The middle-aged gentleman heard Shen Han say this, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

He has already seen that the young man in front of him has a restrained temperament.

He is clearly capable, but he doesn't like to show off.

Maybe he has figured out the deep meaning in his handwritten manuscript long ago, but he is still so humble.

"It doesn't matter whether you have understood it or not, let's take a look at this example and see what clues you can get from it."

As he spoke, the middle-aged gentleman in front of him took out a page of military illustrations.

The so-called military map is a bit like a marching map full of plans during a march and a battle.

And the military diagram that the middle-aged gentleman took out was very large, as big as a table.

The record is seven years ago, the battle between Wei and Qi.

The battle that took eight months was written in detail on the military map.

Things have changed, and how the two sides are taking each step is clearly marked on the military solution map.

Seeing this, Shen Han had no intention of refusing to refuse, and immediately sat down to look at this picture of the soldiers.

Most people have heard of the war seven years ago.

At that time, Qi's army broke through ten cities in a row and invaded from the frontier in one fell swoop, only two hundred miles away from the capital.

Even the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty is facing a crisis.

But this war, according to rumors in the market, ended with a personal heroic ending.

That is Su Jinyu's eldest brother, Su Hongyi.

With two hundred elite soldiers, he climbed five high mountains, crossed the raging river, and raided the capital of Qi State by surprise.

The three princes of Qi were tied up at the capital racecourse, and all of them were brought back to Wei.

The three protons remained in Wei from then on, and the battle between Wei and Qi came to an end.

The folks commented on this battle, and they were full of ridicule towards the general of Qi State, Zhao Heng.

It wasn't just the people of Wei who ridiculed him, even the people of Qi had a very bad opinion of Zhao Heng.

Said that he cared about his head and disregarded his back, and only cared about attacking the city and conquering the land, and he didn't even know that the country was attacked by short soldiers.

Some rumors also said that the Qi State was bound to win this battle.

And it should be a big victory, as long as one step forward, one step at a time.

But Zhao Heng chose to surprise and attack.

The world also gave him a nickname, General Shanyan.

The meaning is to ridicule Zhao Heng, saying that he can speak eloquently when he mentions marching troops to fight.

But when he actually led the troops on the battlefield, he was exhausted.

Shen Han has actually heard of these things, and even read them from some classics.

Especially after Xu Zhifu mentioned Su Hongyi to himself, Shen Han looked for relevant information.

But what I read at that time were all comments and paraphrases written by other people.

The picture of the soldiers in front of us is the one that truly restores the real situation of the war at that time.

Shen Han looked at it very seriously, starting from the pre-war preparations of both sides, carefully watching.

This time, I watched it for almost two hours.

That gentleman sat on the side, and didn't bother Shen Han, just sat like this.

At this moment, Shen Han has entered an ethereal state.

It seems that what I see in front of me is not the picture of the soldiers, but the situation in the battle seven years ago.

It wasn't until the end of the time that Shen Han took a deep breath before regaining his senses.

Watched for three full hours.

Seeing that Shen Han seemed to have read the illustrations of the soldiers, the middle-aged gentleman moved his chair slightly with a smile on his face.

"I read that manuscript last night, and today I read this soldier's solution diagram again. What do you understand?"

In the battle between Wei and Qi seven years ago, Great Wei finally won.

And since then, there has been no war for seven years.

For this battle, the literati and elegant guests of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the people who led the soldiers, had already given countless evaluations.

The most mainstream opinion is that Qi lost because of the rash advance of the leader Zhao Heng.

Coupled with Su Hongyi, a young general, who was unparalleled in bravery, he won the final victory.

But in the past three hours, Shen Han had a completely different view of Zhao Heng after carefully reading the illustrations of the soldiers.

"Sir, what I see may be a little biased"

Before speaking, Shen Han clicked first.

The meaning of this remark is to express my own opinion, which may be different from the mainstream view and slightly inappropriate.

But the middle-aged gentleman in front of him became even more interested when he heard the words.

"It's just a chat between the master and the student, just casual.

There is no need to worry too much about the debate on the art of war. "

Shen Han stopped coddling and began to explain his thoughts.

"Sir, the students may see some omissions when they first look at this military diagram, but judging from what they see.

That General Zhao Heng of Qi State is not as bad as the people say."

It is actually not appropriate to excuse the generals of other countries.

So Shen Han didn't continue talking, but raised his eyes to look at the gentleman in front of him.

But this gentleman became more interested when he heard the words: "Catch it~"

"A battle of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people is no longer a contest between two armies, but a contest of national strength between the Great Wei and Qi.

Many people said that Zhao Heng was greedy for merit and made rash progress instead of making steady progress.

But in the eyes of the students, this was a decision Zhao Heng had to make.

Judging from the military solution map, the time interval between the supply of food and grass in Qi State is getting longer and longer.

The reason is probably that it is becoming more and more difficult for the Qi State to raise food and grass, and the entire country does not have enough resources to provide for this battle.

Rather than saying that Zhao Heng is greedy for merit, it is better to say that the whole country of Qi is forcing him to advance aggressively."

After listening to Shen Han's speech, the interest on the face of the middle-aged gentleman beside him became even stronger.

Without waiting for Mr. to make an evaluation, Shen Han spoke again.

"Last night, after reading what was written in the master's manuscript, I felt that General Zhao Heng of the Qi Kingdom had some skills.

Qi State's army invaded and was surrounded by Wei State, cutting off its retreat.

Under such a dangerous situation, the entire army of the Qi State confronted the soldiers of the State of Wei for a month and a half.

If the general leading the troops was weaker, the soldiers in the army might have mutinied after being surrounded.

But after being trapped for a month and a half, his army is still full of combat power."

When Shen Han said this, the eyes of the middle-aged gentleman beside him were already shining.

He felt as if he had found a rare piece of jade in the rough.
