Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 87 Face Change
"After all, Zhang Yong is also a famous person in the city. Even if he behaves unruly, he is over the middle of his life. He won't look down on others in person, right? With his status, he would say such things to me, a son of an aristocratic family. If the next question , I couldn’t answer it, or I didn’t answer it well, and I don’t know what else to say.”

From Zhang Yong's words, Chen Zhi smelled the smell of gunpowder.

"I had no grudge against him in the past. Even if Zhang Yong didn't like his predecessor's reputation, he wouldn't have caused trouble like this. He was clearly trying to suppress him for no reason, unless he got angry before I came over..."

Thinking this, Chen Zhi looked towards Liu Gang and saw the latter's slightly embarrassed expression.

In fact, Chen Zhi really suffered a disaster this time.

Today's gathering was actually brought about by Pengcheng in order to invite Wang Kui to become an examiner for Guijing. As for the Liu brothers, the county magistrate Yang Yong deliberately arranged to come in and show off in order to win over the Liu family. Okay, after all, being able to meet the examiner in advance is an advantage -

The three celebrities present here are all determined to be the examiners this time.

It happened that such an arrangement caused things to go wrong, and the root cause of everything was the young Wang Pan.

What was unexpected was that as soon as Wang Pan appeared, even Wang Kui stepped aside, allowing this half-grown boy to take the lead.

Out of caution, the three celebrities did not raise any questions. They just guessed at the young man's identity, thinking that he might be a direct descendant of the Wang family, and tried to talk to him, hoping to make friends with him.

As for this Wang Pan, he was not very interested in talking about metaphysics. He didn't even care about Legalist knowledge as the subject of selection. Instead, he was obsessed with military knowledge.

The military attainments of Liu Kan and others were not very good. After all, it was the age of peace. Even if there was a rebellion, a rebellion like Chen Min's mainly affected the lower class. The middle-class nobles and celebrities were all won over by Chen Min. The object will not suffer any loss.

Without demand, there is no pursuit, so this famous scholar in Pengcheng only has a superficial understanding of military tactics.

But since someone asked, they relied on their old skills and focused on the theory of military strategists. They wanted to rely on their rich experience to make some mysteries. Among them, Zhang Yong was the best, he was good at explaining things. Combining the battle of military strategists and talking about reincarnation, Wang Min was very happy to hear it, so he raised a specific question.

Zhang Yong was stumped at this moment, and had to bite the bullet and ramble on, hoping to change the subject, bring the issue into a field he was familiar with, and then take the opportunity to express it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Gang, who was sitting next to him, had been talking about the art of war recently. When he heard Wang Pan's question, he immediately started to think about it, and when he heard Zhang Yong's nonsense, he couldn't help but speak out.

It didn't matter that he spoke out, it immediately attracted Wang Pan's attention. After a few questions, Liu Gang's pragmatic remarks made Wang Pan's eyes light up. The focus of the questions naturally shifted to Liu Gang. Zhang Yong was of course unhappy that a junior had stolen the limelight, so he made a few remarks.

After all, Liu Gang's knowledge was limited, and he couldn't answer after a few sentences. He was suppressed by Zhang Yong, so he naturally mentioned Chen Zhi - in fact, when Liu Gang first spoke out, he had the idea of ​​​​helping Chen Zhi to rescue him. I wanted to wait for an opportunity to recommend Chen Zhi, which could be regarded as indirect help, but I didn't want to recommend him under this situation, which inadvertently offended Zhang Yong.

It's a pity that things have reached this point and cannot be changed. Wang Pan is an activist. When he heard that there was someone in Pengcheng County who knew better than Liu Gang, he became interested and sent someone to recruit Chen Zhi.

In fact, in terms of qualifications, there are more suitable candidates in the city, but those people are not easy to recruit. In contrast, Chen Zhi's age and Liu Gang's statement made Wang Pan more interested. With the scene in the court before.

"Teaching Liu Gang for two days gave him this kind of understanding. Of course, he needs to get to know such a person."

Wang Pan's idea has been satisfied in the question and answer with Chen Zhi just now, and he feels that the trip is worthwhile. He listened to Zhang Yong's reminder, pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Brother Chen, this is a rare opportunity. Just discussing the art of war is really useful." It's a waste, why don't I talk about a military situation and let's deduce it. Of course, there is no map of Chen Hou's world here, so we can just answer it with words, as long as it makes sense."

Chen Hou's map of the universe refers to the sand table.

In Wang Pan's opinion, considering Chen Zhi's age, identity, and qualifications, it would be great if he could explain the art of war. He would definitely not be good at specific military deductions, but he would be able to provide some constructive suggestions.

Zhang Yong had the same idea. After making the suggestion, he shut up and sat back and waited.Liu Gang, however, was concentrating and thinking. The exchange between Chen Zhi and Wang Pan just now was quite inspiring to him. Even Liu Miao felt surprised after listening to it.

"This Chen Zhi really has some abilities. Just with his views as a military strategist, the younger generation in Pengcheng can take the lead. From this look, there is really no need to wait and see. When I go back this time, I'd better mention it to Brother Peng and accept it directly. Chen Zhi, there’s no need to wait for the screening.”

As for the three celebrities, except for Zhang Yong, the way the other two looked at Chen Zhi also changed, but they still looked at him with a look of scrutiny, ready to see how he would deal with the next problem.

"The problem is this," Wang Pan organized his speech. "It is said that a group of thieves were chased by the officers and soldiers and forced into the mountains and forests. They took advantage of the favorable location to hide and harass the officers and soldiers for several months. During this period, they also used tricks to alienate the pursuers. The officers and soldiers are just at a stalemate, in your opinion, how can we destroy this group of thieves?"

This question involves specific military affairs, and it doesn't sound like fabrication, so it is said that there is a deduction. However, there is no sand table here, so we can only use our words to deduce it out of thin air.

However, after hearing this, Chen Zhi shook his head slightly, because Wang Pan did not speak carefully. If he wanted to answer this question, there were still some details to ask. If he did not understand it clearly, he would not be able to answer the question.

"If we don't explain this issue clearly, I'm afraid I won't get Wang Kui's attention, and the rubbing stone won't be of use. Anyway, let's waste more time."

As soon as he thought about it, he asked directly.

"Brother Wang," Chen Zhi called the young man in front of him politely even though he was young, "I wonder how many people this group of thieves has. Have they ever set up a stronghold? Are there any young or old in the army? What are the origins of the soldiers? The mountains and forests where they hide. Is it located in the north or the south? Are the troops chasing them local troops, or foreign troops led by the imperial governor? Or simply the Chinese army?"

When these series of questions were asked, Liu Miao, Liu Gang and others listened at a loss.

The bookworm Wang Kui originally looked like he didn't care, but upon hearing this, he was slightly startled and looked at Chen Zhi for the first time.

As for the three celebrities, except for Liu Kan who frowned slightly, the other two had no reaction. Zhang Yong also shook his head and said: "What are you talking about? It was Wang Shi's nephew who asked you a question, but you asked him instead, who is there?" Answer the question? Don't try to disturb the question in this way."

Zhang Yong, however, thought of his own methods and thought that Chen Zhi would also use words to change the situation and turn the problem into something he was good at.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi glanced at him, shook his head and said: "I just had an exchange with Brother Wang and talked about five things and seven strategies for a long time. Zhang Shibo may not have listened. Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight. He didn't even understand the specific situation. How to analyze and deduce?”

Zhang Yong was stunned, but he didn't expect Chen Zhi to retort directly. He was about to reprimand, but Chen Zhi didn't give him the chance at all, so he heard Chen Zhi continue: "Your remarks are obviously not very familiar with the military system of the current imperial court. Understand that the so-called Chinese army and foreign army are soldiers and horses directly under the imperial court. However, the Chinese army is stationed in the capital and is directly commanded by the imperial court. The foreign army is transferred to the governor general to command outside, either to guard important towns or to conquer under orders. As for the local garrison troops, you don’t need me to explain them to you, they can be seen by all states and counties.”

He said this with a smile, his tone was gentle, but he didn't save Zhang Yong any face, and he was faintly mocking.

If I don’t care about giving me eye drops over and over again, do you think I’m afraid of you?
Sure enough, when Zhang Yong heard it, his face immediately changed, but it was not anger, but surprise.

what happened?Listening to this statement, this junior seems to really know a lot about military affairs.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, this was not a field he was familiar with. He could just talk to laymen. But if he really met an expert, he couldn't hold on. People who could get into the status of celebrities should be careless when things happen. , can you gain fame?It has long become a joke.

At this thought, Zhang Yong suppressed his anger, laughed according to his old habit, and nodded with an open-minded face: "It seems that my nephew is really knowledgeable about military affairs. I wrongly blamed you before. Let me listen to you." No matter what, , Keep your reputation first, and then wait for the opportunity. Don't take it lightly just because the other party is young.

But as soon as he said this, many people in the room looked shocked.
