Chapter 126: Dig Deep, Accumulate Grain, Slowly Become King
Enter the room.
This is a spacious and bright house with extremely simple furnishings. A desk next to the window is simple and elegant. There are all kinds of pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk. There are several wolf hairs hanging on the exquisite pen holder, and several stacks of manuscripts are placed on the desk.
The material of the book case is the best pear blossom tree, which is made of skilled craftsmen, and is full of purple gray. It is a Bowen-patterned book case.
The entire layout seems simple, but in fact it is extremely exquisite. It can be seen that the owner is a very knowledgeable person.
Simple but not simple marks flow everywhere.
Long Qingyun and the other two came to the desk, and a middle-aged man in gray robe walked out of the inner room. It turned out that there was a suite here, which must have been placed with precious information and documents.
The middle-aged man in gray robe was thin, but his face was full of strength and his eyes were like a torch. He glanced at the three of them, his eyes fell on Situ Xin and Long Qingyun, and said sternly:
"Which one of you is Long Qingyun from Nanyong?"
Long Qingyun bowed to the middle-aged man in gray robe and said, "Teacher, I am Long Qingyun."
When the middle-aged man in gray robe heard this, he was a little surprised: "It depends on you being only fifteen or sixteen years old and being able to win the West Lake swordsmanship. I think martial arts is really good. Why do you take the exam for this subject of "Military Art"?"
Long Qingyun said loudly: "Report to the teacher, Donghan has the strongest military power among the countries that have been united in the world. I will learn here, and I will also learn your most powerful military technology, which is the way of military strategy."
The middle-aged man in gray robe nodded slightly, then turned his head, looked at Situ Xin and Tashi, and said with a smile:
"Why do you two take this subject of "Military Art"?"
Situ Xin took the lead and said, "I will not hide the teacher's skills, articles, military tactics, and miscellaneous studies. My weakness is military tactics, and I want to challenge myself."
Situ Xin raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and his handsome face was filled with a frank smile.
The middle-aged man in gray robe couldn't help but be stunned and smiled and said, "It's great, honest enough!" After that, he looked at Tashi.
Zhaxi looked serious and looked stern, saying, "Report to the teacher, my Tubo tribes have been fighting for years, and they are in a mess. Only the military and military power can integrate all parties and unify the tribes, so I chose the subject of "Military Art"."
The middle-aged man in gray robe smiled and showed an admiring expression, "Young man, have ambition. But..."
The middle-aged man in gray robe paused and continued, "Aren't you afraid that our Tianyong Sword Academy will keep you in Donghan and not let you go back to Tubo? If you have such a strong and broad ambition, you will inevitably become my Donghan's strong enemy in the future."
Zabu seemed quite calm and calm and said calmly: "How is it possible? Among the countries that are united in the world, only Beiqi, Nanyong, and Western Qiang can compete with Donghan for the short and long term. I still know the principle of "far-to-far-to-fighting and near-to-earth attacking". Tubo will definitely not have the intention of dominance, so Donghan will not make things difficult for me."
The middle-aged man in gray robe nodded slightly. It seemed that Zabu was a sensible person, meticulous and extremely talented.
The middle-aged man in gray robe said aloud: "I am Duan Yushu, the speaker of the Tianyong Sword Academy's military arts subject, please follow me."
Long Qingyun, Situ Xin, and Zabu felt a stern when he heard this: "It turns out that this middle-aged man in gray robe is one of the three masters of Tianyong Sword Academy. Duan Yushu, known as the "stunning stroke", is said to have been superb in a pair of judges, and there are few rivals in them."
The three of them followed Duan Yushu to the east of the room, and a huge hanging wall was presented to everyone.
It is like a huge rooster, showing a stunning posture, with a broad momentum, clearly visible mountains, rivers, and lifelike gullies.
Duan Yushu's loud voice rang out, and he said while pointing:
"Look at it, this land of China is like a rooster. The chicken head is located in the Baishan Black Water where I Donghan is located. The chicken back is the grassland in the northern desert. The Mengwu tribe is rising strongly. The chicken neck is the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, which belongs to the rule of Donghan. The cocktail is the territory of the Northern Qi, the chicken buttocks are the land of Tubo and Dali, and the chicken wings are the jurisdiction of the Western Qiang. The chicken belly and chicken feet are the land of Nanyong."
Duan Yushu's voice was loud and powerful, and said, "Everyone should know very well about the territory of his country. Now I will give you a question and talk about your ideas."
Long Qingyun was shocked to see this vast and vast picture. This geometric map was more detailed and comprehensive than that of Bai Yunqi hanging in the study, as if he read thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, his heart was filled with ease.
Looking at the surging Yangtze River, rushing into the sea, rolling in the Yellow River, flowing endlessly! Long Qingyun was full of passion and ambition, and rushed into his heart.
Duan Yushu said loudly: "You should take your own country as an example. If you want to conquer all directions and compete for the world, how should you send troops? Let's talk about your ideas."
The three of them looked at each other and were surprised: "Is this the exam question? It's too incredible."
Duan Yushu saw everyone's puzzled expressions and said casually: "Don't worry, speak freely. I mainly look at your plan, strategy and strategy, and examine your mind from it, and choose the best to be admitted."
This unique, unique and ingenious exam began like this.
Dugu Xin spoke first and said in a deep voice: "My Dali is located in a corner of the southwest border, and it is a small country. It is not easy to conquer all directions and compete for the world. Even in the prosperous period of Nanzhao Dynasty, there was never the idea of competing for the Central Plains."
Dugu Xin couldn't help but feel distracted when he said this, but his expression was high and there was a sense of firmness on his face. Long Qingyun and Zabu were also sad and felt empathy.
Duan Yushu nodded slightly and said to Dugu Xin: "Continue talking."
Dugu Xin said with neither humility nor arrogantness, and said with sternness:
"I am not underestimating myself. I think Dali's strategy of governing the country should be to make friends with great powers and stick to its own country. Only when the world is in chaos can it rise. Perhaps there is still a chance. In the current situation, it is not even possible to send troops to conquer the four sides. The key at the moment is to weigh the distance, the slightest and most important relationships between countries, and to develop a good diplomatic strategy. "
Duan Yushu secretly praised in his heart. It is rare for Dugu Xin to have such insights at a young age. He was quite appreciative and said with a smile:
"Very good, Dugu Xin, your generous speech is very visionary. You have been admitted to my Tianyong Sword Academy."
"By the way." Duan Yushu paused and continued: "What is the relationship between Dugu Yuan, the head of the Dugu family, one of the four major families in Dali Country, and you?"
Dugu Xin was stunned and then responded: "It's my father!"
"Oh, so that's it, it's very good!" Duan Yushu stroked the willow beard under his jaw, looking at it calmly.
Long Qingyun was deeply impressed by Dugu Xin’s insights:
"Be down-to-earth, don't be too ambitious, stick to your own country, make friends with other countries, and wait for an opportunity to act."
As the saying goes: "The superior troops attack plan, then attack diplomatic relations, then attack troops, and then attack cities."
Long Qingyun's thoughts flew around, thinking about something, muttering to himself.
Dig deep into the hole.
Raising grain.
Build high walls.
Become the king slowly!
