Hu Bugui and the others saw that General Lin was angry, his aura was extraordinary, they felt a little apprehensive, they all kept silent and dared not speak.
Speaking of the art of war, although Lin Wanrong is not proficient, he has a universally applicable truth-if you can become a general and win battles by memorizing a few art of war, then everyone who has read the art of war in the world will not A victorious general
Du Xiuyuan was the only one who passed the exam. Lin Wanrong calmed down and asked, "Brother Du, what do you think of this Art of War exam?"
Du Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "The art of war combined with actual combat has practical significance. Although the style of this inspection is novel, it is based on the scriptures and lacks flexibility. You only need to memorize the words in the military book to pass. Big Brother Hu and others He has been fighting for many years and has rich experience in actual combat. He put forward various assumptions on that topic, which are quite different from the military manual, so he was judged as unqualified."
Lin Wanrong nodded without speaking, staring into the distance, silently thinking about something.
A little white horse came from a distance. It turned out to be Li Wuling who had gone back and forth. He had traveled so far this time that he had passed through the entire practice field. His head and body were covered with dust and yellow sand, but his expression was I was very excited and excited.
"Little Li, what's so happy?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.
Li Wuling supported the saddle, jumped down with his small body, and said with a smile: "Lin San, I just told my grandfather that he authorized me to participate in this military exercise, but, Brother Hu and Brother Li, you Well, we have to wait—"
Lin Wanrong looked suspiciously at Hu Bugui and the others behind him, and Du Xiuyuan smiled and said, "That's the thing, we were excluded from the military exercise in those few days, and we were really depressed. We were about to complain to General Lin, but Suddenly stopped by this kid."
"Oh, what did he stop you for?" Seeing Li Wuling's thick head and dark eyes rolling around, Lin Wanrong couldn't help feeling fond of him, and asked, patting Xiao Lizi's head.
Hu Bugui said carelessly: "What else can you do? This kid is bragging. He said that as long as he brings you General Lin, he will have a way for us to participate in this military exercise, but now General Lin is here. This kid agreed. thing, but there is no shadow."
Damn, I can let you participate in the exercise? Lao Tzu is not an emperor. Once the golden mouth is opened, everything can be done. This little plum bragging is too mysterious.
Several people stared at Li Wuling covetously, deeply dissatisfied with his broken promise. Li Wuling smiled triumphantly, and said: "Why are you so anxious, this military exercise has only just begun, and there are plenty of opportunities. Look, can't I just participate? You wait for a while, and someone will naturally invite you to participate. Hehe , if my promise is fulfilled at that time, all of you have promised me that I will not go to other places. I will find the biggest courtyard in Bada Hutong, pick some of the best-looking noodles, and serve my master to drink. gone."
Hu Bugui, Xu Zhen and the others snorted in disdain, and no longer believed his words. Lin Wanrong chuckled, looking for fans in Bada Hutong, this kid has a serious tone, if you go, you, a little boy, will be hard to save. However, Li Wuling is the queen of Zhongliang, and has a bold and cute personality, which is really cute.
Several people thought what Li Wuling said was a joke, and they didn't take it seriously. Seeing the fight on the battlefield, they felt excited, when they suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes. Huangsha, passing through the battalion phalanx, is galloping here.
Hu Bugui was the most impatient, he glanced at it and said excitedly: "It's General Li Tai who is here."
On the horse in front sat a mighty old general, with a bronze helmet and iron armor, holding a spear, galloping towards here like flying. It was Li Taida who scolded Lin Wanrong so bloody that day. General.
What is this old man doing here? Didn't I break up with him? Seeing the smug smile on Li Wuling's small face next to him, Lin Wanrong was deeply puzzled.
Li Tai was followed by a handsome white horse, and a female knight was sitting on the horse's back. She was wearing a white veil and her face could not be seen clearly, but her figure was very graceful. The fast horse followed behind Li Tai. , riding is not weak, but the white gauze has been covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Boy Lin San, I met General Li. The old general is safe and sound." Seeing Li Tai dismounted, Lin Wanrong smiled and walked forward.
Li Tai glanced at him, and snorted solemnly: "On the battlefield, military discipline is strict, and no noise is allowed. You are joking and laughing like this. How can you look like a sergeant?" Countless majestic auras and serious expressions are even more shocking.
I am no longer a soldier, old man, Lin Wanrong groaned inwardly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This Old General Li is probably used to commanding troops. When he sees a person, he always treats him as his soldiers demand. Lin Wanrong was very talkative, but he respected this iron-blooded generation of famous generals from the bottom of his heart. When he reprimanded him, he honestly nodded and said yes, and did not refute. Hu Bugui and others were secretly surprised. General Lin, who is born with one thing and one thing, is not afraid of the sky, even Master Xu Wei can't restrain him, but he is so cute in front of Old General Li.
"I've seen the general." Hu Bugui and the others were Li Tai's generals, they dared not be as casual as Lin Wanrong when they met the commander, they clasped their fists together and shouted respectfully.
Li Tai nodded slightly, put his hand on the saber, but his eyes fell on Lin Wanrong and said: "Lin San, I heard that you volunteered to participate in this military exercise, right?"
What? Lin Wanrong opened his mouth wide, shit, when did I say that, I have never seen me dressed so casually, participating in some military exercise, play with me.
Hu Bugui and the others were stunned for a moment, and then Qiqi looked at Lin Wanrong happily. It turned out that General Lin still had this hidden trick. Good guy, he is so calm and calm, he didn't see any flaws in a daze.
"Old general, when did I say that? Did you hear it wrong?" Lin Wanrong called anxiously.
Li Tai said majesticly: "Nonsense, how could the old man hear it wrong. It was Wuling who personally reported that you are willing to lead the army to participate in the military exercise. Come to an actual combat exercise. I just rushed here. Are you repenting? But in the army, there is absolutely no joke."
Lin Wanrong glanced at Li Wuling in horror, but saw the kid glaring at Hu Bugui and the others triumphantly, with as much air as he wanted on his face.
Du Xiuyuan and the others finally knew Li Wuling's intentions for General Lin. This trick to drive the ducks to the shelves and the sows to climb the trees is really wonderful. Xiao Lizi has such a trick at such a young age, he is really a tiger in the door Son, well-deserved reputation.
Lin Wanrong gave Li Wuling a hard look. No wonder this little Lizi said that as soon as I came, he would have a way to get Hu Bugui and others to participate in the drill, so he used me as a bait.
Li Tai saw that he hesitated. Then he said loudly: "A moment in the army can harm the country. Lin San, tell me how did you decide?" He was full of majesty. Deliberately put pressure on Lin San to force him to submit.
It's terrible, I don't have any preparations at all, so I will have a practical drill. Doesn't this make it clear that you are yin to me. Seeing the begging eyes of Hu Bugui and others, Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth. Damn it, isn't it just a drill, my brother Lin San was afraid of someone coming, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he snorted, "Okay, I'll do it."
There was a smile in Li Tai's eyes, but he hid it in time, and said to the woman who was following him: "Girl Zhiqing, tell me how the two of them are divided."
Girl Zhiqing? Damn, no wonder you look familiar, so it's Xu girl, Xiao Mian, with a veil and a vest, so I don't recognize you? He smiled and cupped his fists and said, "So it's Miss Xu, tsk tsk, I didn't realize that you look better without showing your face."
"Nonsense." Li Wuling retorted, "Aunt Xu looks a hundred times better when she shows her face than when she doesn't." He spoke sincerely, before realizing that he had been tricked by Lin San, Hu Bugui and the others tried their best to hold back their laughter. It's too late to repay the world, this little Li just plotted against General Lin, and he beat him back in a blink of an eye.
Xu Zhiqing snorted and said with a smile: "Today's military exercise, the wind and sand are heavy, and the little girl's body is weak, so she covered her face. Don't blame General Lin. Although you volunteered to join, but this person on the battlefield You can't move the soldiers and horses, you can choose the others."
Hu Bugui and the others immediately gritted their fists, giggled, their gratitude to Li Wuling was beyond words, and the matter of inviting him to visit the Bada Hutong was settled. Li Wuling also looked at Lin Wanrong eagerly, he was a non-staff member and only when General Lin nodded, could he act as a pawn.
Lin Wanrong sighed slightly, and said with a bitter face: "The elite soldiers and strong generals who are proficient in the art of war have been picked away by the assistant general. I have no choice but to choose these wild generals who are self-taught. Alas, it's really unfair. Oh, by the way. , Miss Xu, did you read the military examination held by the assistant general, Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhiqing shook her head slightly and said, "I only found out yesterday, and I took a quick glance."
Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "I don't know what will happen if Ms. Xu takes the exam?"
Xu Zhiqing said to herself: "I have read the book of the Art of War, Sun Tzu, and the Six Secret Teachings. If I make a proposition based on this, Zhiqing is confident that no one can beat it."
Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and said: "Nice! In this way, Ms. Xu has read all military books and is erudite. Naturally, she is the number one famous general in the world when fighting." [Heaven's Kiss Hands]
Xu Zhiqing is extremely smart, how can she not know his thoughts, she said with a smile: "The book of the Art of War is written in actual combat and transformed into books. It is the painstaking effort of our ancestors and has great reference value." She paused slightly: " But the times change, the environment changes, and the art of war must also be adjusted and changed accordingly, and we must not blindly believe in books and follow the scriptures."
As soon as these words were said, Hu Bugui and the others immediately felt at ease. Li Tai is a battle-tested veteran, so it goes without saying that he uses the art of war. He glanced at Lin Wanrong and said with deep meaning: "Lin San, in your opinion, what does the art of war have to do with actual combat? ?”
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "The art of war is the crystallization of wisdom and wisdom left by our ancestors. It is extremely precious, and it is also the best model for us younger generations to learn. It is true that we should learn the art of war, but the method of learning is very different. The art of war is not Reading, taking the number one scholar test, and writing stereotyped essays are all profound theories. Soldiers are cunning, the time has changed, the place has changed, and the tactics of warfare have to change accordingly. It can be said that there has never been a wrong technique of warfare in this world. It's just that someone used it at the wrong time. To put it simply, it's like we can read and write. Everyone can read and write. But if you want to make ancient quatrains, then few people can do it. This military man People can learn, and when it comes to exams, they must all get full marks, but throughout the ages, how many people can become a generation of famous generals? Therefore, the art of war is only a foundation, which can be studied in depth, but it cannot be judged by right or wrong. General art of war Integrate into actual combat, and learn while fighting, and learn while fighting. Only when you master it well, this is truly invincible."
Li Tai stroked his beard and nodded, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly wiped away, and the solemn look was restored on his face, and he said: "This art of war test is for the generals in my account to select generals for military performances." It was specially held. This exercise is mainly focused on him, and the commander will not intervene. It is useless for you to say more, it is all lip service. This actual combat exercise, if you have the ability, you can defeat him on the battlefield."
***************
Now that he started, he couldn't back down. Lin Wanrong didn't know who the general who was assisting Li Tai was, and it was close to actual combat. sense of stimulation.
Hu Bugui and the others quickly retreated to change their armors. Li Tai glanced at Lin Wanrong, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Lin San, fight this battle well, and it will benefit you."
Although Li Tai didn't speak a few words with him, but every time he looked serious and unsmiling, it was rare to see such kindness in front of him.
Lin Wanrong shook his head, and said with a calm face: "I don't want the benefits or anything—don't believe me, I, Lin San, rarely don't want to be cheap, but if I really say it, I will definitely do it. Old General , I told you the truth, I, Lin, have no big ambitions, and I go with the situation, but I never get down when I encounter difficulties. The reason why I got involved in this today is because I don’t want to look at Big Brother Hu, Big Brother Li and the others If they are buried, they are brave, resourceful, iron-blooded men with great ambitions to serve the country, if they are buried, no matter how much money I make or how many wives I marry, I will feel uneasy."
Xu Zhiqing heard it, but was a little moved and a little funny. I don't know how this person has cultivated his ability. Although his rhetoric is touching, it always makes people angry at the last sentence.
Li Tai has experienced a lot of hardships, and he has already cultivated his sharp eyes to see people. Seeing his expression, he finally showed a smile: Xu Wei is right, this Lin San is just a ruffian on the outside, but a hot heart on the inside. After peeling off his messy and gaudy shell, he is a bloody hero.
Li Tai smiled and said: "You boy, do you think I am an old fool? The old man can see clearly who is gold and who is sand, so don't worry. I want you to fight a good battle today, show more The ability is naturally good for you."
"What's the benefit? Ten thousand taels of silver?" Lin San had a habitual smirk on Lin San's face after she had sex, and Xu Zhiqing shook her head as she watched - that Lin San just now must have been possessed by a soul. This is the real one.
Although Li Tai was serious, he was happy when he heard what he said. This kid really has character.
"What money?" Li Tai said with a straight face, "It's much more important than money. Look, what is that—"
The old general pointed in the distance, and Lin Wanrong looked in the direction of his finger, but saw that the farthest city wall where the attack was being practiced was covered with flying yellow flags, embroidered on the flag was a long and flat flag with teeth and claws. animal.
"What a big snake!" Lin Wanrong exclaimed.
When everyone heard what he said, they were stunned and could not speak. Hu Bugui and the others looked at each other in horror, General Lin's mind was burnt out, right? Xu Zhiqing clenched her small fists, her face flushed red, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she tried her best to hold back her laughter.
Even Li Tai, who was extremely calm, had blue veins on his forehead popping out, cold sweat streaming down his face, and he said in a trembling voice, "Lin San, what do you think is that?"
"What a big golden snake." Lin Wanrong nodded and said with certainty.
"It's over, I can't win this battle today." Li Wuling said dejectedly, it would be unreasonable for him to win with such a coach.
"People, you can't be so ignorant." Li Tai exclaimed, "I've lived for a long time, and you can recognize a golden dragon as a golden snake. Lin San, you are the number one person in China and abroad."
Golden Dragon? Lin Wanrong was shocked, and when he looked carefully, it turned out that the flag was fluttering in the wind, and the dragon claws were hidden in the corners by the folds. If you didn't look carefully, it was a big snake.
I am ignorant enough, Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and Jin Longqi realized that the one who came up from the city tower was—"Emperor?" Lin Wanrong was startled, but jumped up and shouted loudly.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, after all this kid is not stupid enough to know that the golden dragon is a symbol of the emperor's family, I hope he won't recognize it as "such a big snake" next time.
Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat. If it was the emperor who came, wouldn't it be 80% likely to be my father-in-law
While the golden dragon flag was fluttering, a Luanjia was raised above the city tower, surrounded by countless guards and followers, surrounding the imperial vehicle. The soldiers who were practicing on the battlefield, whether they were standing, running, lying down, or crawling, all stood up and bowed, and then tens of thousands of people knelt and kowtowed together: "Kowtow to the emperor. Long live my emperor, Long live, long live."
Tens of thousands of people knelt down and shouted long live, tsk tsk, I have never seen such a scene. Standing by the saddle, Lin Wanrong opened his eyes wide and looked at the emperor on the dragon chair while the others were kowtowing to the emperor. The distance between the two sides is very far, only a figure wearing a winged crown and a golden dragon robe can be vaguely seen, but the face cannot be seen clearly, and I don't know what the emperor's father-in-law looks like, whether he looks like Qingxuan.
I was having a sweet dream in my heart, but I saw Li Tai, Xu Zhiqing and others who were kneeling had already stood up, presumably it was the emperor who shouted for peace. Lin Wanrong pretended to pat the dust on her knees, Xu Zhiqing raised her head, although Yuyan was covered in a light veil, there was a faint smile in her eyes, as if she saw something.
"Now you understand." Li Tai nodded to Lin Wanrong and said, "As long as you perform well today and let the emperor remember you, your future prospects will be limitless."
Lin Wanrong remembered what he said to Xu Wei a few days ago, that there is no other way to enter the palace to find Qingxuan, the only way is to wait for the emperor to open his mouth. I was worrying about how to meet the emperor, but I didn't expect to encounter such an opportunity today by accident. It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. For Qingxuan, today's battle must be fought.
Li Tai rushed to see him, and Xu Zhiqing took care of the rest. Xu Zhiqing is a pedant of heaven and man, and has been on the battlefield several times to fight against barbarians. She is a real heroine, not only Li Tai's daughter-in-law in name, but also the military advisor of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in this Great Hua's Northern Expedition.
"Miss Xu, how will we fight today's battle? Are there any constraints?" Lin Wanrong asked seriously. His current mood has changed from wanting me to hit me to wanting to hit me, and his words are less naughty and more serious.
"There are thousands of people on both sides, and the limit is three rounds. Everything is close to actual combat, regardless of means, regardless of tactics, only the result." Xu Zhiqing said calmly with a calm light in his eyes.
Hu Bugui and the others had already changed their armor, and led their soldiers and horses to rush over majestically. Lin Wanrong nodded, close to actual combat, no matter the means, these two points are very good, and this is the kind of battle that is fought.
Facing the thousands of strong men under his command, Lin Wanrong was sincerely pleased, all of them were as strong as calves, and Lao Hu and Lao Du had trained Lao Tzu's soldiers well. Most of them are familiar faces, veterans who followed him to fight in Shandong, and many of them are the elite who survived the bloody battle when the first warrior of Bailian was killed. There is absolutely no problem with their loyalty and combat power.
Lin Wanrong bent his palms slightly a few times, feeling a little excited in his heart, and calmed down a bit. Facing brothers who are life and death, he doesn't need extra words. He smiled slightly and said, "My name is Lin San, has anyone forgotten me?"
Thousands of soldiers let out a burst of good-natured laughter. The miscellaneous grain soldiers of the day have now become the elite of the elite. Seeing the humorous but brave and tenacious General Lin standing in front of them again, many people immediately recalled the life and death of the past. In the situation of sharing weal and woe with each other, there were faint tears in his eyes.
Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said casually, "Are you ready?"
"Kill—" Thousands of soldiers uttered an orderly and forceful cry, which shocked the world a little bit.
