Activate the Emperor System and summon Dian Wei at the beginning of the game

Jiangnan.

On the ancient road, a carriage slowly came from south to north. The driver was a very handsome young man with a bit of elegance between his eyebrows, like a poet walking out of a painting.

"Your Highness, we have entered the territory of Jiangnan."

"Cough cough!"

A violent cough came from the carriage. Ning Chen hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his mouth. A trace of blood stained the white handkerchief scarlet.

"Your Highness?"

The carriage stopped with an emergency brake. Ning Rulai lifted the bed curtain and looked at the blood-stained handkerchief. His expression changed immediately.

"What's going on?"

"It's okay!" Ning Chen forced a smile, his face slightly pale, and said: "It's just a long journey, and my body is a little tired."

"Keep going!"

"Your Highness, let's take a break?"

"No!" Ning Chen shook his head: "This place is still hundreds of miles away from Jijia Village. At our speed, seven days may not be enough."

"Speed ​​up!"

"Yes!"

Ning Rulai showed a helpless look on his face, sighed deeply, and continued to ride his horse on the road.

They traveled from Dali all the way to the southern border, and then went around to Jiangnan, running for nearly a thousand miles. After the long journey, His Royal Highness Prince Sheng was exhausted and had not yet recovered. Unexpectedly...

"Your Highness, let's go back to Beijing after this trip!"

"Yes!"

Ning Chen responded and said softly: "My younger brother is now in Huainan. I'm afraid that the capital is not very peaceful."

"I heard that the court is preparing for a decisive battle with Donghuai recently, and I'm a little worried!"

"Why don't we go to the East Border first?"

"Your Highness!"

Ning Rulai's face changed immediately, and he advised softly: "With your current health, what can you do even if you go to the East Border?"

"Besides, the emperor's sister-in-law is pregnant. If you have any mishaps again, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"Father means that you should return to Beijing to rest for a while."

"Okay!"

...

Jijiazhuang!

Outside the school, two small wooden houses were built with the help of the villagers. The small courtyard made of fences was full of flowers and greenery.

A simple stone table and four stone benches were the residence of Bai Qi and Ning Yao.

"Sir, the Art of War says that the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, and the worst is to attack their cities. What does this mean?"

"War is to capture cities and plunder resources. When a large army is approaching, it is either to seek money, land, or people. Why is there a saying that the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans?"

Ji Jiu held the Art of War and looked at Bai Qi who was farming not far away. The latter put down the shovel in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Ning Yao who was copying books.

"Girl, what do you think?"

"Master, I think the meaning of this sentence should be that when two armies fight, the first thing to do is to defeat the enemy with strategy, and the second is to defeat the enemy with diplomatic means. The worst strategy is to send out soldiers to capture cities and territories."

"The so-called best strategy is to gain benefits or achieve goals through strategy. The strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby countries is to use the most brutal means to fight for life and death, deploy troops and battle arrays..."

After Ning Yao's explanation, Bai Qi nodded slightly, and then smiled: "The study of military strategy is not as simple as capturing cities and territories, fighting on the battlefield, and fighting to the death!"

"War is always inseparable from politics, and politics is inseparable from diplomacy!"

"In ancient times, there was a prime minister named Su Qin. This person was not a military strategist, but he used the way of alliances to lobby the six countries. , with the seals of the six countries, made our Great Qin... made the powerful country at that time dare not send troops to fight for fifteen years! "

"This is the way of diplomacy. In terms of military tactics, deploying troops and conquering cities can make a good general!"

"And for a general, the primary consideration is not the gains and losses of a war, not to capture a few cities, and annihilate a lot of enemies, but to weigh the pros and cons and calculate the gains and losses from the overall situation of the country and the court!"

"How to fight, how to win, how to lose, how to attack, how to retreat!"

"This is the key!"

"The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting, the second is to attack the alliance, which is to form alliances, and the third is to attack the city, which is to deploy troops!"

"The best strategy can defeat a country, the middle strategy can win a battle, and the worst strategy can only win one battle!"

Bai Qi carried a hoe and spoke slowly, Ning Yao and Ji Jiu both showed a hint of contemplation.

"You two, if you want to become good generals, with your current talents, you only need to experience the battlefield and you can lead an army. But if you want to become a famous general!"

"It is far from enough to just read a few military books."

"Economy, politics, diplomacy, and even vertical and horizontal, only by integrating them can you control an area!"

Hearing Bai Qi's words, Ji Jiu nodded heavily. For a moment, he seemed to understand what the master meant.

In the battle in the western border, their Zhenxi Wang army was defeated miserably, but the court's plan did defeat Dayan, so that he dared not move eastward until now.

This should be the so-called "the best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy"!

"Sir, what do you think of the battle in the west?"

"The battle in the west!"

Bai Qi pondered for a moment and gave his own evaluation: "A stroke of genius!"

"I'd like to hear more about it!"

"What you just said is the three strategies of the court!"

"Lure the enemy deep into the territory, lure them into a trap, unite and ambush from all sides!"

"First, use the 100,000 defenders of Xuanjian Pass as bait to lure Dayan's 500,000 troops to attack fiercely. Then, abandon Xuanjian Pass, lure the enemy deep into the territory, and then deploy heavy troops to inflict heavy damage."

"Then send an envoy to Dali to divert the war!"

"Such a great victory can ensure that the Western Territory will be worry-free for three years."

When Bai Qi finished speaking, Ji Jiu's expression was extremely complicated, and he murmured: "Are the 100,000 comrades in Xuanjian Pass destined to die in battle?"

"Ji boy!"

"Remember, kindness does not command the army!"

"In this battle, 100,000 soldiers in the Western Territory died, but the Western Territory was spared from three years of war. Dayu exchanged the smallest price for the greatest victory!"

"They died for what they deserved!"

Bai Qi said in a sonorous voice: "You survived the battlefield by chance, and your comrades died in battle. You feel very sad, but for them, dying on the battlefield is their destiny!"

"If they are given a chance to choose, they will also choose this ending. Do you believe it?"

"I..."

Ji Jiu hesitated for a long time and nodded heavily. If he was allowed to go to Xuanjian Pass to defend it, he could win a great war and save the Western Territory from war for several years. He would nod without hesitation!

"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"

"Boy, can you please be my teacher?"

Ji Jiu looked at Bai Qi earnestly, and knelt on the ground.

Bai Qi shook his head slightly, continued to wave the hoe in his hand, and said lightly: "Bai will accept one apprentice in his lifetime, that's enough!"

"Sir!"

Ji Jiu knocked his head deeply on the ground, and said with a painful look: "Boy, I dare not forget the entrustment of the generals during the battle of Xuanjian Pass!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Sheng also said that if there is a chance, let me reorganize the Zhenxi King Army, please teach me the art of war!"
