Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 404 Shangyi Renxia
Let’s talk about Bai Tu’s general Xu Shu, who invited him back to Xinye’s official office...

Ordinarily, as the king of Chu, he should set up a temporary palace, but... Considering that he would not be able to stay in each place for long, Bai Tu gave up the idea of ​​"buying a house" in each city, and only temporarily requisitioned the back of the government office for the county. The courtyard where the order lives.

If it really doesn't work, it's okay for Bai Tu and Cheng Ji to squeeze in together.

As expected, Xu Shu was not surprised. He had already guessed Bai Tu's identity. The two had a hearty conversation, continuing the previous harmony and mutual appreciation.

Xu Shu did not hide his previous judgment of the "evil object". To put it bluntly... it was just intuition!
As a counselor, Xu Shu is completely different from Zhuge Liang, Lu Su and others. If his attributes are pentagonal, Xu Shu is undoubtedly very "flawed". His ability is outstanding in tactical command, but in terms of internal governance, strategy, etc. , but his performance was not as good as that of ordinary scribes.

To a certain extent, Xu Shu is a counselor through and through, not a "scribe". This is also related to his experience...

"Your Majesty treats me with sincerity, and Fu dare not hide it... In fact, a certain person whose real surname is Xu killed a strong man in the county in order to avenge his friends in the early years. In order to avoid the government, he left his hometown, changed his name, and called himself Shan Fu." Xu Shu. Take the initiative to confess to Bai Tu.

Xu Shu's real name is Xu Fu, but Xu Shu is a name he only used in recent years, while Shan Fu... is a trumpet.

With so many trumpets, it can be seen that Xu Shu is indeed a member of the world.

According to historical records, Xu Shu was a righteous chivalrous man when he was young. After he was caught committing murder, the guards tied him to the street and asked the villagers to recognize him. However, no one in the village betrayed him, so his life was temporarily saved. Later, his companions robbed him of prison. Rescue it.

It can be seen that Xu Shu was very arrogant when he was young, but while he was impulsive and willful, he was also "popular". Perhaps it is for this reason that when Zhuge Liang first joined Liu Bei in the novel, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not very popular. Convinced, but for the previous Xu Shu, these arrogant soldiers did not have this kind of "resistance".

Bai Tu sighed heavily after hearing this, which was full of dissatisfaction. Xu Shu's heart sank slightly after hearing this, thinking that Bai Tu looked down on his previous actions...

"What forces the righteous men in the friendly village to kill? The Han officials are corrupt and that's why! If in Chu State, powerful people kill people, as long as they report it to the government, how can they force innocent people to take action?" Bai Tu said in anger.

Kuang Fu Han room?What kind of support room?
That said... Xu Shu was a little embarrassed.

In fact, his situation at that time was closer to a fight between strongmen in the county, but Xu Shu thought he was more aboveboard than the other party, and at least he did not do anything to bully good people. When the villagers mentioned him, they all gave him a thumbs up instead of avoiding Jingjie. .

"Your Majesty... you are wise!" Xu Shu said sincerely.

"But speaking of it, Yuan Zhi, you learned all your military skills in recent years?" Bai Tu asked curiously.

"Yes, and no. In the past few years, I have been living in the world. Fortunately, I have received the help of many good teachers and friends. I have also reflected on my previous impulses, and I have barely developed a culture in my stomach. But when it comes to the art of war, in fact, the past me , and it has also given me a lot of help today, and it cannot be summarized by what I have learned in the past few years." Xu Shu said very modestly.

It was indeed when Xu Shu was running away from crime and traveling around the world that he began to learn from various schools. Because Xu Shu had a strong affinity and could sit and drink with people in the market, and he could also sit and drink tea with elegant people like Pang Degong, so he was very popular with him. After determined to study, he picked up his skills from everywhere and joined various famous schools in military, Confucianism, Law and Taoism.

However, what he is best at is still military strategist. Others... Although Xu Shu has dabbled in it, he may not be proficient in what he has learned, or even if he understands the truth, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it because of his own personality.

Only as a military strategist, or in terms of tactics, Xu Shu was not only well-versed in military books, but also unconventional. His unique strategy was "breaking the formation on the battlefield", and he could almost intuitively discover the flaws in the enemy's battle formation!
In Xu Shu's words, the art of war is the same as when he used to use swords to hurt people on the street.

In the past, when Xu Shu fought with an opponent holding a stick, he would get close to him, and then punch him in the ribs; when fighting a desperado holding a short knife, he would first pick up a dustpan to block it, and then pull his hair out and kick him; when fighting a strong opponent, When fighting, you can pretend to fall down first, and then throw up a handful of sand...

Xu Shu has never practiced martial arts systematically, and he doesn't know any moves. His physical strength, dexterity, etc. are not as good as those of military commanders. At most, he has rich experience in street fighting and is a real street fighter... Ahem, he is Ren Xia!

At first Xu Shu thought that his previous culture was very low, but later Xu Shu discovered that these were actually "arts of war"!
So Xu Shu began to connect what he had learned with his previous bloody actions on the streets, and gradually summarized his own tactical intuition based on combat intuition.

Later, under the recommendation of Pang Degong, Xu Shu awakened his official seal in a county town and came up with a unique strategy - breaking the formation on the battlefield!
After listening to Xu Shu's "learning" process, Bai Tu also sighed greatly - it is said that Miyamoto Musashi had never been a general and was only interested in kendo duels, but he understood various military techniques with kendo and wrote "Five Rings". A number of military books represented by "The Book" are still highly sought after by future generations... Could this be the same reason?
"Yuan Zhi is indeed a strange person... By the way, I once read a military book that looked similar but not similar. Some people said it was a masterpiece of practical military art, while others said it was just a collection of kendo moves and thoughts on life. Wait until I go to Shinnohime I'll print it out for you to see." Bai Tu said on the spur of the moment.

"Oh? What is the name of this book that the king said? Who wrote it?" Xu Shu admitted that he had read many art of war, but none of them matched the characteristics that Bai Tu said.

"It's called "The Book of Five Wheels," and it's... Well, I don't know who wrote it." Bai Tu said vaguely.

Now Bai Tu no longer needs this kind of thing to increase his reputation, but... as long as these books are taken out by Bai Tu, no one has seen them, and they will naturally assume that Bai Tu is the work of Bai Tu. This Bai Tu is also very helpless. .

However, the white pictures did play a role in some revisions, otherwise they would definitely be discovered. The historical background in this book is somewhat magical... This is also very hard, right?As we all know, you can take the books of your predecessors, delete some of them, and then treat them as your own!
Bai Tu also vaguely mentioned something about "vicious objects" and the possibility of major tactical changes in the future...

After understanding Xu Shu's abilities, Bai Tu's expectations for him were much higher than those of ordinary battlefield strategists.

Because Xu Shu's tactical intuition sounds more like a methodology. In an era when equipment innovation drives tactical innovation, Baitu also needs an instructor who can quickly understand and get started!

As for Xu Shu himself, after getting the "Book of Five Wheels", he briefly flipped through it and determined that it was indeed an art of war that he had never seen or even heard of. The writing... well, it was very "vernacular" in the legend. "wind", that is, Bai's painting style when writing.

Then I accidentally read the sentence "When you reach the highest level in the profession you love, you will master all other skills... In the end, all methods will be unified." I became fascinated and even He had already forgotten about it in front of Bai Tu, so he looked over it with impolite concentration.
