Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 90 Please look at this thing
Wang Kuiyi said that others also understood.

Before thinking about winning, thinking about losing.

This statement is familiar to everyone present. Anyone who has been exposed to the art of war understands its meaning, but when it comes to actual practice, it is not that simple. After all, everyone likes the sweetness of victory. Who wants to think about failure before launching troops? The tragedy afterwards.

This was also a habit that Chen Zhi had developed in his previous life. When he was just starting out, he had a fortune stick and looked down on the world's heroes, thinking that he could be invincible. After a few victories, he became a little arrogant. As a result, he suffered an injury and almost broke his muscles and bones. From then on, Develop the habit of finding an escape route before doing anything.

With Chen Zhi's reminder, Wang Pan also wanted to take precautions and said, "How about detaching a group of troops in advance. If the decisive battle fails, the detached troops can also be used as an ambush. What's this idea?" ?”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zhi eagerly, expecting Chen Zhi's evaluation.

Several other people also looked at Chen Zhi, but Wang Kui and Liu Kan felt that this idea was not very good, but they did not dare to judge rashly before Chen Zhi gave an evaluation - invisibly, they all valued it. From Chen Zhi's judgment came.

Chen Zhi shook his head directly and said: "Soldiers are more valuable than more. The soldiers and horses used in the decisive battle are elite soldiers. In other words, there are not many people. If we divide the troops again, the combat power will be seriously reduced, which is equivalent to attacking the enemy with one's own shortcomings." Commander, if we look at this matter in advance, if we arrive at the battlefield in advance, figure out the terrain, formulate tactics, and then recharge our batteries and wait for work, but the thieves come from afar and have insufficient supplies along the way and internal support, they will be more vulnerable. Since we are refugees, if the officers and soldiers don’t win the battle, then we should withdraw the troops honestly as planned, and there is no need to divide the troops. We should inform the counties and garrison in front to make preparations in advance.”

The implication is very clear. With so many advantages gathered together, there is still no victory. Go back and train your troops quickly. The job of fighting is really not suitable for this group of people, so don't pursue it. You can't afford to lose that person.

Although the hidden meaning behind the words was not good, the truth was clear. Wang Pan choked, then laughed, scratched his head and said, "Brother Chen is right, what should we do next?"

Chen Zhi put his hands in his sleeves, his expression turned relaxed, and he said: "It won't be a matter of one army later. If this can't be stopped, the bandit army completely escapes the siege and plunders one or two Jianghuai County towns, it will shock the imperial court." It has risen from the military level to the political level, and it is not the scope of today's discussion. Unless Brother Wang can influence other garrison troops, then I will come up with some ideas."

"I see, that's the truth. Then it's time for the court to worry." Wang Pan ignored Chen Zhi's temptation and looked satisfied, "This trip to Xuzhou is indeed a worthwhile trip!"

Liu Kan also smiled and said: "I, Pengcheng, are really talented and virtuous. My nephew is usually too low-key. This is not good. Talent should be shown, otherwise what's the point of being unknown?"

Liu Miao beside him couldn't help but muttered that this young master of the Chen family used to be quite famous, but he was not on the right path.

Xiao Zuo smiled and said, "It's still a matter of debate whether this matter can be resolved, but with my nephew's analysis, the situation is much clearer. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

Everyone present had guessed that Wang Pan's question was not just a topic, but probably related to practical matters. However, it was difficult to clarify the relevant military affairs, so I could only hint at it.

Wang Pan nodded heavily and said, "Brother Chen's analysis and suggestions are of great help."

Zhang Yong breathed a long sigh of relief, completely abandoning his prejudices and anger, nodded slightly, and said: "Compared with my understanding of my nephew, my little knowledge is really taken for granted." Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, he It's because he's a bachelor, so he might as well go all the way and admit that he's not as good as Chen Zhi in the art of war.

Before Chen Zhi came over, Wang Pan had already mentioned this matter. It was just a few people going around and talking about it in a vague way. It did not involve the specific method of marching formation, which was the same as Chen Zhi's analysis and layout. Than, anyone with a discerning eye will know which one is useful.

At present, although there is a trend in society to advocate retreat, people who can give answers to specific questions will be respected at any time.

In the corner, the woman disguised as a man also stopped writing, glanced at Juan Xiu's handwriting on the paper, nodded slightly, and turned her black and white eyes lightly, and her eyes fell on Chen Zhi.

While several people showed their goodwill, Chen Zhi clearly felt that the copper coin in his heart was shaking violently, and the halo on the surface reappeared, much brighter than last time.

"Sure enough!"

This change did not surprise Chen Zhi, but confirmed his guess.

"Discussing Taoism and learning with others can indeed gather halos. When drawing lots with halos, you can get what you need most at the moment. Thinking about it this way, maybe a place like Guijing Academy is really suitable for me to settle down. With the combination of the two, there is It will help you raise your family quickly." While he was thinking, Wang Min clapped his hands, greeted the maidservant, and said, "It was my fault that I forgot to entertain Brother Chen."

Chen Zhi smiled and said nothing. If he didn't show his knowledge, how could he be treated politely by the person in front of him?He hasn't figured out Wang Pan's origin yet, but he can get a clue just by looking at Wang Kui's attitude towards him.

Soon, the servants served drinks and food, and everyone was chatting happily.

In fact, the imperial court had a ban on alcohol, and Xuzhou had experienced floods and droughts, so the wine could not be drunk freely. After a few glasses, it bottomed out, but it did not hinder the enjoyment of a few people at all.

During the banquet, Liu Kan and Zhang Yong invited Chen Zhi to talk about knowledge, but Chen Zhi avoided them on the pretext of having little knowledge. He had already caught the limelight during the discussion on the art of war, and more than enough was not enough. The people present were either of extraordinary status or extremely famous. , now they value you and sing and laugh with you, but if you think that you can become famous by stepping on them, it is a big mistake.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi's low-key performance made several people nod secretly. Even Zhang Yong looked at Chen Zhi more and more favorably. He had the idea of ​​​​sincere friendship and reviewed his behavior just now.

Liu Kan and others actually saw that Chen Zhi had a great future and would soon be as famous as themselves and others. Of course, they had to make good friends in advance.

During the intentional or unintentional conversation, the relationship between the several people became closer and closer. Chen Zhi thought about it and felt that the time was right, so he took a moment and said to Wang Kui: "I have heard of your name a long time ago, and I can only meet you today."

"Excuse me. My reputation is nothing at all. It's just that I read more books, but I can only enter and not exit. I can't take it as a compliment." As he said this, Wang Kui smiled mockingly to himself.

"Speaking of names, when I passed through Wuyuan County, I heard about Brother Chen's reputation." Wang Pan came over with a drunken look on his face.

"Wuyuan County?" When Chen Zhi heard this, he knew it was about the Wang family in Wuyuan. Wang Chuan came all the way to ask for the calligraphy and wrote "Ode to the Bright Moon".

The Wuyuan Wang family is a branch of the Langya Wang family. It is normal for Wang Min to come to Xuzhou and pass through there. However, his reputation should not be widely spread in Wuyuan, otherwise there will be feedback from the lottery.

Sure enough, Wang Pan then said: "I visited Mr. Qinghu and saw your calligraphy, so as soon as I came to Pengcheng, I went to visit Shulinzhai, but you were not there. I only found out when I saw you today that Brother Chen In addition to being good at calligraphy, he also has profound attainments in the way of the military strategist."

It turns out that the wealthy young man that shopkeeper Wu mentioned earlier is him!

Chen Zhi immediately remembered that a person that shopkeeper Wu had specifically mentioned not long ago now seemed to be Wang Pan.

"Look, I'm sorry for interrupting your chat." After Wang Ding finished speaking, he laughed and punished himself with a drink, not caring about his age at all.

Chen Zhi shook his head and became more and more curious about Wang Pan's identity, but the top priority was still the matter of rubbing the stone.

"The rubbing stone can imprint [-]% of a person's knowledge. The goal is naturally to be more knowledgeable, the better. Wang Kui is known as a bookworm. Wang Chuan said that he has read one-tenth or two-tenths of the books in the world. This is an astronomical figure. Even if It is an exaggeration, but it is enough to prove that from the conversation between Wang Pan, Liu Kan, and Zhang Yong just now, Wang Kui is not in vain. What better goal than this?"

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi took out the rubbing stone from his arms and handed it over while saying, "It's like this. I got this stone by chance. It seems to have some origins, but my knowledge is shallow and I can't tell the origin." , I heard that you are very knowledgeable, can you help me take a look."

"Oh? It's definitely not easy for my nephew to value something, so I'll have to take a good look at it." Wang Kui also became interested, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he caught the Tuoshi, picked it up, looked at it, and looked at it.
