Professor Ning Yan looked at the young man in front of him, then pointed to the map on the wall behind him and said: "Mark the marching route for the battle to destroy the Shang Kingdom on the map, starting from crossing the Yellow River. If you mark a wrong route, today we will I won't say another word to you."
The boy nodded, grabbed the charcoal pencil, held the torch and walked to the wall to carefully mark the route.
Ning Yan used to be Luo Yao's aide, and he played an invaluable role in the war against the Shang Kingdom. It's just that his ancestor committed a serious crime, and the late emperor ordered that he should never be hired as an official. So although he has high merit, he didn't get much what he deserved. Of course, the biggest gain is getting rid of slavery and becoming an ordinary person who can stand tall again.
In the battle to destroy the Shang Kingdom, Luo Yao's army has always been at the forefront. Gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas. The Shang army, known as millions, couldn't stop Luo Yao's left forward. Many strategies were suggested by Ning Yan. Luo Yao highly respected him, and wrote three times to ask His Majesty to grant him a title, but they were all rejected by the emperor. The Great Sui Dynasty advocated filial piety, and the late emperor died, so the emperor naturally could not easily overthrow it.
But the emperor naturally had his own way of rewarding them. The late emperor forbade the descendants of the Ning family to be officials. The emperor then transferred Ning Yan back from the left front guard and sent him to the Academy of Martial Arts. The professors of the Academy of Martial Arts don't have official ranks, let alone titles, but they are still respected.
Luo Yao was very reluctant to let Ning Yan go and leave, but the holy will was hard to disobey. When leaving Yongzhou, Luo Yao personally saw him off for thirty miles before bidding farewell.
When he arrived at the Academy of Martial Arts, Ning Yan had always been the lecturer on Art of War. His classes are often attended by high-level military generals. Among them are many dignitaries in the army like General Xu Xiaogong and Yu Manlou, and Yu Manlou even ordered that the generals of the Zuowuwei Army come to the Academy of Martial Arts to attend lectures in their free time. Of course, it was limited to Ning Yan's Art of War course.
But now, everyone has become Fang Jie's private teacher. Every once in a while, he will quietly leave the Martial Arts Academy and enter this secret prison located at the Ouchi guards' office to give lectures to a prisoner.
At the beginning, Ning Yan was very dissatisfied. In his view, since he is a prisoner, he will naturally receive the treatment that a prisoner deserves, instead of a professor from the Labor and Martial Arts Academy coming here to give lectures. But when he walked into the stone room and saw that this special student was Fang Jie, he couldn't help being surprised. He also knew that Fang Jie was practicing in the back mountain, but he didn't expect that this once-in-a-hundred-year genius in the Sui Dynasty would become a prisoner.
After only teaching one class, he had no previous dissatisfaction. This embarrassed-looking young man really has a lot of talent.
He can understand many things with just a few explanations. He can even derive many unimaginable but insightful things based on what he said. Ning Yan likes this kind of students who study eclecticly. He never thought that a student who can copy what the teacher taught is a good student.
"gentlemen."
Fang Jie said while marking: "At the beginning, the army was divided into four routes to the southwest, one passed through Jiangling, one passed through Songzhou, one passed through Dongjun, and one passed through Lingnan... But the students felt that if they went to Lingnan, they would divide their troops and go all the way. If we attack Luokou Cang, the defense line laid by the Shang army will be torn open, so that the vanguard of General Luo Yao can go straight in through the torn hole and threaten Yongzhou."
Ning Yan didn't deny it, but said lightly: "Mark your thoughts too."
Fang Jie nodded, and marked out the route he thought was reasonable. After marking everything, he turned around and said respectfully, "Sir, the painting is finished."
"Do you know why you didn't divide your troops to attack Luokoucang?"
Ning Yan stood up, walked to the front of the map and asked.
Fang Jie looked at the map and thought about it carefully, then asked tentatively, "Could there be an ambush?"
Ning Yan nodded and said: "Don't think that you are very smart. How many elites did you gather in the army that went south? The general who led the army, who has much more knowledge than you! Luokou Cang is the largest granary in the Shang Kingdom. One granary stores grain. , Enough for an army of one million for 30 years. Conquering Luokoucang, the Shang army would be in chaos... However, several generals at the time agreed that they did not attack Luokoucang precisely because they had seen through Shang's tricks."
"The Luokou Warehouse was built on Xingluo Mountain, and the Zhenshui River passed under the mountain. This Zhenshui River was originally a river for transporting grain and grass in the Shang Dynasty. If you have never seen the terrain of Xingluo Mountain, you naturally think that the Luokou Warehouse is not difficult to build... Luokou Warehouse was built. The south side of Xingluo Mountain, while the mountains on the north side are mostly cliffs. If you want to attack Luokoucang, the army must first cross the Zhen River and go around to the south side of the mountain. In this way, it will take at least half a month."
"Attacking the key points of the enemy's granary, the most important word is quick, and it can only be accomplished if it is captured with lightning speed. Fifteen days... let alone whether there are ambushes on the way, just that the journey is so long, Shang The national army has already taken precautions. It only needs 5,000 troops to defend the dangerous place, and even a 100,000 army cannot conquer it in a short time. It is the largest granary in the Shang country, so they will not be afraid of any siege. The army on the mountain starved to death, and the merchant army guarding the mountain could eat eight meals a day for hundreds of years."
"The army of the Shang Kingdom deliberately showed its flaws and led the army to attack Luokoucang in Xingluo Mountain in order to delay the army's journey... If the army going to the south of Lingnan is blocked by Xing Luoshan, the vanguard of General Luo Yao will become a lone army. No matter how good at fighting, with a mere 30,000 to 40,000 horses, it would be inevitable if they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Shang troops. It has to be said that the Shang army formulated this strategy in the first place to get rid of General Luo's left guard."
"As long as the left front guard is slaughtered in the first battle, the morale of the Shang country will definitely be greatly boosted. If this battle is won, the people of the Shang country may not be unable to recover from the decline."
"It's because the students are shallow."
Ning Yan said: "You have to keep in mind that for a general, it is not enough to just look at the map. There is only a mountain marked on the map, do you know what kind of mountain it is? There are six forces on the ground, so how to use troops must not be taken for granted. "
"Students remember."
Ning Yan hummed, looked at the map and said: "I only said it once, but you were able to draw the route exactly, not bad... I have a copy of the marching record written by myself back then. Check it out, it might be beneficial."
"Thank you sir!"
Fang Jie saluted solemnly, and took the marching notes written by Ning Yan himself with both hands. The battle to destroy the Shang Kingdom was the most recent war of the Sui Dynasty. After that, the Sui Dynasty did not use foreign troops for more than 20 years. It can be said that this war undoubtedly has a lot to learn from for the current Sui people. thing.
…
…
Fang Jie's current life is exhausting but fulfilling. In addition to Professor Qiu Yu, the Academy of Martial Arts will send other professors to guide his studies from time to time, such as Professor Ning Yan, who even indirectly killed Liu Shuang and the others on Banyue Mountain that day. One's ink everything. For this man, Fang Jie didn't really have much hatred in his heart. He knew that the death of Liu Shuang and others was unexpected. Crescent Lake is the largest water source on Banyue Mountain, and the terrain is also dangerous. There are many places to hide. Chen Ya and the others are very likely to hide there.
Even though Wisdom and Chenya are not hiding there, Mo Wanwu is the one who attracts Wisdom and Chenya, but Mo Wanwu brings Fang Jie and arrogance to the advanced mountains.
But even so, Mo Wanwu's responsibility cannot be shirked.
Fang Jie didn't scold or quarrel, he just didn't say a word. Mo Wanwu sat in the stone room for half an hour and then got up to leave. Before going out, he only said a word.
"Human life is a debt, and I can't pay it back for the time being. But you help them remember, don't forget."
After saying these words, he walked out of the iron gate with a gloomy back.
Fang Jie almost had to face Qiu Yu's devil-like training. If this intensity was replaced by others, he would have been exhausted into a puddle of mud. But Fang Jie's recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, and most of them can be recovered after sleeping. In Qiu Yu's words, I don't know how to make you grow up the fastest, but I know a stupid way.
The so-called stupid way is to constantly squeeze the potential of the solution. His muscle strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, so he will continue to develop Fangjie's muscle strength. Only through constant squeezing can Fang Jie make his body stronger. As a pure martial artist, he has no way to use the vitality of heaven and earth for his own use. If you want to fight and win with practitioners, the only thing you can rely on is your body.
After collapsing on the ground again, Qiu Yu picked up Fang Jie and threw him on the stone bed.
"I still can't see through your body."
Qiu Yu sat down on the chair, looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "Your air pockets have opened six more places than before you were imprisoned, but there is no sea of energy, so I don't know what is the use of your air pockets. In the past few days, I have found that the more intense the training, the faster your cavitation will be opened. The third place was opened two months ago, and the third place was opened in the past seven days... If you persist like this, it may not take long Thirty-six air pockets can be opened."
"According to common sense, a person can open thirty-six air pockets, barely capable of practicing... just wait and see, maybe when your thirty-six air pockets are opened, the sea of qi will suddenly appear."
Fang Jie panted while lying on the stone bed and said, "Sir... don't you think this is a very irresponsible statement?"
Qiu Yu spread his hands: "I'm just giving you hope. You should be very clear. If there is no sea of qi, what if all 128 air pockets are fully opened?"
"If there is a sea of qi, what will happen if the 128 air pockets are fully opened?"
Qiu Yu thought for a while and replied: "For such a person, one day of practice is equivalent to ten days of others' practice. One year of practice may be stronger than others' ten years of practice."
"Oh shit!"
Fang Jie couldn't help cursing: "It's not fair!"
"Where is so much fairness in this world?"
Qiu Yu said indifferently: "However... such a person is extremely rare. I have only seen one person in the Yanwu Academy for many years."
"who?"
Fang Jie asked curiously.
"What's the use of you asking so much? No matter who you are, it has nothing to do with you, and just because there are such people, you have to work harder for a waste like you. Hurry up and catch up?"
"I see… "
Fang Jie nodded: "Come again!"
…
…
The largest Taoist temple in Chang'an City.
The stunningly beautiful woman sitting cross-legged on the futon slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the twenty candles lit in a row on the table three meters away in front of her. Her eyes are bright, as if she can speak. Her appearance is difficult to describe in words, if you have to try, perhaps only the four words of flawless are the most appropriate.
The Taoist robe on her body is light gray, which shows that her status in the Taoist temple is not very high. But she is Xiao Zhenren's fifth disciple, and her four senior brothers are now the great red-robed priests of the Taoist sect.
Her name is Mo Ningzhi.
Originally, she was just a puppet, a scapegoat. But fate is always so difficult to torture. Fang Jie has not had a smooth life since leaving Fan Gu, but she has been favored by the heavens.
How many people dream of becoming Xiao Zhenren's disciple
As she slowly opened her eyes, suddenly, the twenty burning candles went out almost at the same time, and without seeing her make any movement, the candles all went out strangely.
Mo Ningzhi frowned slightly, her eyes suddenly froze.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became chaotic, as if dozens of small but sharp knives were constantly circling in the room. After a crackling sound, the twenty candles were all cut off. A candle that looked as if it had broken itself was weirder than before when the candle went out.
Mo Ningzhi looked at the wall, the air was disturbed again, there were light sounds on the wall one after another, and dozens of shallow marks appeared on the wall.
A hundred meters away from her room, in the gazebo.
Xiao Zhenren subconsciously looked at Xiangmo Ningzhi's room, and then sighed slightly: "She is the first person among the countless disciples of my Taoist sect who has a small eye for sharpness. One hundred and twenty-eight air pockets are all open... It really is very important. Extraordinary."
