"How is it? Is there enough to eat?" The old man looked at the girl who didn't eat at all, smiled lightly, and took a sip of tea (cold water). Vertex Novel Updates Fastest

"Hmm." Gu Nan put down the bowl, wiped the beans sticking to his mouth, and when he ate it, his face was a little embarrassed: "Thank you."

Originally, she thought that the old man had some bad intentions, but who would have thought that he would treat her to a meal.

Although it was just a simple meal of Dou Mi, it really made her empty stomach feel better.

Speaking of which, the rice in this place is also strange, it is actually bean rice made from boiled soybeans.

Moreover, there is very little oil and salt, and the rice still has a lot of bean flavor. If it weren't for the hungry chest sticking to the back, Gu Nan really couldn't eat.

"Snapped."

Gu Nan didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only imitate the appearance in those TV dramas in his previous life, holding his fists in front of his chest: "This emergency in the world, I must remember it in my heart, and I will surely repay you in the future."

"No." The old man waved his hand, not paying attention to Gu Nan's empty promise: "Let's eat your meal."

"Hey." Gu Nan touched his nose, grabbed the chopsticks on the bowl again and swallowed. After finally having a full meal, she decided to eat all the portions for the next few days at once.

The old man seemed to be worried about something, frowned, and refilled himself with a cup of tea.

While drinking, he put his hand on the table, and tapped the table with his index finger. Looking at the coming and going, the yellow and thin people have weak eyes.

If Zhao Guo can be destroyed this time, Zhou is already in name only, and the great Qin will unify the world, and it is probably just around the corner.

Hehe, I don't know if I, an old man, can still see the world in this peaceful and prosperous world.

Gu Nan swallowed a few mouthfuls of bean rice and looked at the old man's face: "I said old man, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing Gu Nan's voice, the old man looked back.

He sipped the tea with his lips, and the water in the cup rippled under his breath.

After a while, he seemed to think of something, curled the corner of his mouth, and put down his teacup: "Forget it, the old man will ask you, maybe you can say a few words?"

To be honest, he was just saying casually, did he think such a little girl in trouble on the side of the road would have any thoughts about such a thing.

The old man tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about organizing his own language.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "Now you are a general of one side, commanding a force of 600,000."

"And you are now besieging a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The city is defended by an army of 450,000. The opponent's army is mainly cavalry, and they are good at moving forward and retreating freely. The location of the battle is in the mountains. Surrounded by valleys on all sides, only the enemy camp is surrounded by high mountains and plains.”

"Tell me, how would you fight?"

"I said old man, you are still a general." Gu Nan had already eaten half full and put down the bowl. Unexpectedly, the old man would ask such a question, so he said something casually.

She doesn't know much about it, but it's not bad to pass the time when she has nothing to do.

Anyway, it was just nonsense, thinking back to the strategy games he had played, Gu Nan pretended to ponder for a while.

"The three armies have not moved, food and grass go first"

"Wait!" Gu Nan just said a word, but was forcibly interrupted by the old man opposite.

It was the most uncomfortable thing to say halfway, Gu Nan smacked his mouth in confusion, and said dissatisfiedly: "Old man, what are you doing?"

"Repeat what you just said." The old man frowned, looked at Gu Nan, and asked again.

Gu Nan raised his eyebrows uncertainly: "The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first?"

"Who did you listen to say that?" The old man frowned deeply, looking a little scary.

"Me." Gu Nan realized that this sentence might not exist in this world, and she seemed to have plagiarized something unconsciously. Looking aside with a guilty conscience: "I said it casually."

"Just casually?" The old man said incredulously, "You didn't lie to the old man?"

This sentence is about the common sense of military strategists. Although it is concise and incisive, it is not too surprising.

What surprised him was something else.

You must know that in this age, ordinary people are not able to study at all. Looking at the other party's desolate clothes, and she has no father and mother, it is obvious that she cannot be a wealthy family.

That means that the little girl in front of her has never read any military books.

Under such circumstances, she can actually say that the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

Without any study, or even any experience, you can sum it up yourself.

this girl

The old man glanced at Gu Nan.

"Do I have to lie to you?"

"Have you read military books?"

Gu Nan didn't even think about it, she shook her head: "No."

I am only a dead man who can read any military books, even if I am a little interested and occasionally flip through, none of them can read all of them.

The old man thought for a while, and looked at the girl who lowered her head to pick up the rice. She really didn't need to lie to himself, so he nodded: "Go ahead."

"The food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops is naturally more important. The daily consumption of the soldiers alone is an astonishing figure. If it is, I will definitely consider cutting off the opponent's food and grass first."

"Even if it can't be cut off, you must first ensure that your own food and grass are sufficient."

Gu Nan picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup: "Is there any river water nearby?"

The old man added a glass of water to himself, nodded and said, "There is a river."

"There is a river." Gu Nan nodded, resting one hand on his chin, and continued.

"If there is a river, then spare no effort to dredge the channel, and transport food and grass by water, which must be much faster than transporting in the mountain road. In this way, there is no need to worry about food and grass."

Hearing Gu Nan's words, the old man narrowed his eyes.

This little girl is interesting.

Before this battle, the first thing they did was to dredge channels and transport food and grass by water.

Before he knew it, his expression became serious.

"Good, and then."

Didn't find anything unusual about the old man.

Gu Nan just talked nonsense to himself: "Then it is to lure the enemy to go deep."

"Launch the attack first, then retreat by pretending to be defeated, and lure the enemy into the valley."

"The alpine and plain areas are extremely suitable for cavalry to charge. From high to low, they are extremely powerful. Our army has no advantage in fighting there."

"Then shift the battlefield. As long as the enemy army enters the valley, the cavalry will be at the mercy of others. At that time, with the large number of our army, the enemy army will be ready to eat."

These are just words from the miscellaneous games she played when she was in school, but she still remembers some of them now.

In her eyes, although these words may be full of loopholes, there is absolutely no problem in fooling an old man.

The old man picked up the tea slowly and seriously, and took a sip of the tea.

According to the habit of evaluating the generals in the court in the past, he unconsciously gave the other party an evaluation in his heart.

The idea is still very simple, but it is already a bit of a general style, and it is a rough jade that can be carved.

It can still be used after several times of polishing.

Then I was startled, and then I remembered that the person talking in front of me was not a general in the court.

It's a girl who hasn't even read a book.

That's not as simple as Shang Keyi.

Thinking, the old man silently looked deeply at the girl in front of him.

If these words she said were put out of the mouths of the generals above the court, he would just take a second look.

But now that he said it out of the mouth of such a girl who might not even know a few big characters, he really couldn't be confused.

Taking a deep breath, the old man stretched out four fingers, and asked with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"The 450,000 army is fighting hand-to-hand, and it will not take a while to defeat it. What should we do?"

"Well, I didn't mean to fight hand-to-hand. As long as the enemy is led into the valley, there are only two simple ways to get it done."

Gu Nan drank the water and stretched out two fingers pretentiously.

"If there are trees in the mountains, fire will attack; if there are earth and rocks in the mountains, rolling stones will do."

After finishing speaking, the old god shook his head, as if he was very satisfied with his conclusion.

The old man didn't speak, but slowly finished the tea in front of him.

After a long time, he took a deep breath.

general!

Unfortunately, it's a girl.

Gu Nan didn't care and continued to pick up his bowl and started eating.

But he didn't know that the old man in front of him was complicated.

The old man closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly there is an idea in my heart.

No one knew, maybe not even himself.

His sudden thought became the beginning of a two-thousand-year story.

This young girl wandered to Qin alone but didn't even know the name of the place, so she met an old man.

also a kind of fate

The old man opened his eyes, his eyes fell on Gu Nan, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Old man, Qin Guobaiqi."

"Girl, would you like to be my student?"
