After drinking for three rounds, Di Qing said: "I have been in the military city for several days. What do you think? What is the difference between the military academy in the capital and here?"

Sun Mian pondered for a while and said, "Let me give you a feeling first. The military academies in the capital are strict in military disciplines and the atmosphere is depressing, so it's much better here. Can't the military academies be the same as the army, with clear classes and strict laws and regulations?"

Di Qing nodded: "It makes sense. The military academy is a place to learn knowledge. The military discipline is too strict and you will be blamed for it at any time, so you will lose your mind to concentrate on studying. This can be learned. Du Jingluo's army does not have corporal punishment. Although we have different opinions, this can be done in military academy."

After saying that, he said to Wang Kai: "Ma Shuai, Du Jingluo was in charge of the Volcanic Army, you deployed Linfu Road and captured Tanglong Town together. What do you think are the differences between Du Jingluo compared to that year? What are the characteristics of the army?"

Wang Kai thought for a while and said, "From the past, the strategy was actually not versatile and was not familiar with military affairs. However, he was clear-headed and had unique insights into combat, and could tell what to do and what not to do. I think the most important thing about strategy is that he always has a clear mind and can grasp the most fundamental things. After practicing military service for a few years, he started from the most fundamentals, and he was a rare good coach in the world."

Di Qing said: "What impressed you the most when the battle between Tanglong Town was in the past? Let's refer to it."

Wang Kai said: "At the beginning, we should not make up our minds. We will make up our minds easily. We will never change it casually, we will not be greedy for military merits, we will not be greedy for war results, and we will not be afraid of strong enemies. From the beginning, we will decide to use guns and cannons to defend the city on a strong city, and we will not fight head-on with the Khitan soldiers. The plot was very clear. When did the Khitan soldiers come from, how to attack the city, and how to escape after the attack was setback, we always took the enemy one step ahead. We first fought in Tanglong Town and then occupied the Beitou Village. The Khitan soldiers attacked the city and were not greedy for the rear. The Khitan soldiers retreated, but sent troops to follow him, even if they were lying on the ice, they would not even take the corpse. The head was military merit. Du Jingluo did not want this military merit, and many generals were dissatisfied. Now I think about it, the overall situation is the priority, and we will never be greedy for merit. The ruling has always been like this."

After hearing this, everyone nodded silently. Du Zhongxiao, a literati, was a general, never went to the front line of the battlefield, nor did he fight himself. With his current status, there must be something beyond ordinary people. He has a view of the overall situation and is calm in dealing with things, and it is really not easy to do it.

The first thing everyone did when they came to Hequ Road Military Academy from the capital was to compare the differences between the two places. After a few days, they found that the basic procedures were roughly the same, and even the textbooks were similar, and even the Hequ was used more simple. As mentioned before, leading troops should be strict and rewarding soldiers, and Hequ Road was not better than that in the capital. They even had a feeling that according to what they saw, the results of martial arts should be normal. This understanding made several people particularly troubled, which was not easy.

It is not scary to lose. Come and study. When you see that this place is better than you and that place is better than you. When you go back, you just do it. You are afraid that you have seen everything, and you are even in it, but you can't tell the truth. You obviously lose, but after seeing the other party, you still feel that you should win, which is very difficult to do. To put it bluntly, you can't teach it, so what else can you do?

After using up the wine and meat, Di Qing said: "It is rare to have free time today. We are in this grass market. The so-called bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused. We are only in the military city and cannot see many things clearly. Look around and listen to what the people say, and you may suddenly become enlightened."

Wang Gongchen stood up and said, "Today I am going to Shengzhou to discuss things with Du Jingluo, so I won't look around with you."

Sun Mianqi said: "Since you want to go to the city to see the strategy, why are you still here to have a meal? Now you can only talk about business and you can't even stroll around Shengzhou City. Nehan, a meal of wine and meal is no better than going to the city to relax!"

Wang Gongchen said: "How can I not eat the host I won? Besides, when I entered the city early in the morning, the road was too cold."

As the Privy Councilor, Di Qing could take care of others, but could not take care of Wang Gongchen. Not to mention the position of the Hanlin scholars, they would not have much to ask about the two governments as internal ministers. Don’t think that Wang Gongchen must have a task specially ordered by the emperor, which is different from others. Otherwise, if he wanted to see Du Zhongxiao today, he would not allow him to change to someone who did not inform Di Qing in advance.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Wang Gongchen left Caoshi and ordered his followers to come out, and sent troops from Juncheng to protect him to Shengzhou.

Du Zhongxiao took a book and sat leisurely in the study. The soldiers came to report to Wang Gongchen for a request, and hurriedly ordered him to take him to the study.

Seeing Wang Gongchen come in, Du Zhongxiao stood up and smiled and said, "Nehan has just arrived for less than five days. Are you going to go back to the capital now?"

Wang Gongchen bowed: "If you can get the advice of Jieshuai, you should be able to go back and hand in the work. It depends on whether Jieshuai is giving it to you or not. If you don't tell me, it will be not easy for me to go back to the capital. To be honest, the north is bitter and cold, and it is not comfortable to live in Wudu Jun City."

Du Zhongxiao invited Wang Gongchen to sit down, ordered tea to come, and said, "Nehan, this time it is a rare opportunity to arrive in the military city. If you miss it, it will be rare in the future. Stay in the military city for a few days and be familiar with military affairs. Maybe you can lead troops as commanders in the future and make achievements."

Wang Gongchen shook his head repeatedly: "I am not a general marshal. I know in my heart, why bother myself?"

After invited tea, Du Zhongxiao asked, "Nehan came to see me, I don't know what to ask?"

Wang Gongchen drank tea and thought for a while before saying, "The last time the Beijing martial arts performance was defeated, the Beijing Military Academy was defeated. The emperor may not know that afterwards, the emperor was extremely angry and had to strictly hold the people who were promoted to the military academy. The prime minister and ministers repeatedly pleaded with mercy, and the emperor gave up. He was not afraid of the jokes of the Jieshuai. Before the martial arts performance, the emperor and the ministers, including me, believed that the Beijing Military Academy would definitely win. Some people even advised those who were in charge of this matter, not to let the people who went to Hequ Road defeat too ugly. The emperor and the emperor were unparalleled in the world, and your face was still valued by the court."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and nodded.

Sighing, Wang Gongchen said, "I never expected that the final result was not only the great victory for the Jishuai, but the victory was so far too much to say. General generals and officials may not know what the division and siege meant. The emperor found an old man from Hequ Road and asked in detail about this matter. The division and siege were completely wiped out. This result is more serious than the most proud battle of the Hue Du battle. Jieshuai, do you still remember a young officer in your army, Wang Dexing?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "He has been by my side for several years and went north to fight. Except for some days when Taiwei Han, he has been in my commander's tent."

Wang Gongchen smiled and shook his head: "This man is young and very honest. He says whatever he says. Whenever he asks about the military, he never knows to protect him. The emperor likes him very much. He has been with him these days to answer questions. Such a person is much more reliable than the generals and ministers. Others don't know about it. The emperor understands many things in his heart. It is precisely because of this that officials from the Privy Council and the Third Organs came here."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Although Wang Dexing is honest, he is actually smart and has a solid knowledge. He is loyal and shy, and is not suitable for leading troops to fight. However, he is difficult to be competent in the tent."

Wang Gongchen nodded: "That's true. With Wang Dexing by his side, the emperor knows many things better than the foreign ministers. This time I came to Hequ Road to see the military academy of Hequ Road. The military academy in the capital can be done like this. If there is really no way, then we can only send ministers to come and take charge of the matter. The general of Jie is outside and the army is in charge of the matter, and everything is complicated. This is not a blessing for the court."

Du Zhongxiao said, "What else can I do? The court wants people, and most of the old subordinates on Hequ Road are transferred. In addition, the old people from Suizhou have been removed. With the old people from Suizhou, only six or seven thousand are left out of the 30,000 troops. The court wants me to train troops, and all the books are sent to the capital. Those who stay in Suizhou have moved to the capital. If they cannot practice well, there is no way."

Wang Gongchen smiled and shook his head: "Jingshuai, this is wrong. The court said that Jieshuai wants people to give them, and things to give them are indeed good. If the Beijing Military Academy cannot train soldiers well, it does not have anything to do with Jieshuai. But if Jieshuai has no choice, it may not be so. If there is no choice, how can we train the Fiber-Ticket Army to become a strong army? Either Jieshuai doesn't want to say it, or Jieshuai is inconvenient to say it."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "Nehan has been in the military city for several days, I don't know how to view this matter?"

Wang Gongchen said: "What I can see is that I have to ask Jieshuai for advice. No matter how hard others are, they only know the basics. Over time, they may be able to train troops and select the future. It is impossible for them to choose the future in one or two years. Whether it is Jieshuai who doesn't want to say it or it is inconvenient to say it, I will give you a few advices today so that I can submit my mission to the Beijing office. If you say it, it will come to my ears. Jieshuai's important ministers, but I dare not speak out if there are any unfavorable things about Jieshuai. If you don't, Jieshuai should understand that I am insulting myself."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and raised his teacup and said, "Drinke tea."

Wang Gongchen drank the tea, put down the teacup, and said, "I don't know what Jingshuai means--"

Du Zhongxiao said: "When Nehan wants to come, do I not want to say it, or is it inconvenient to say it?"

Wang Gongchen shook his head: "I don't know about military affairs, so I can't tell you. But I feel that Jishuai is not a person who hides and doesn't say anything in the past few days."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, Nehan is not very clear! It's not that I don't want to say it, nor that I'm not convenient for me to say it, but that I have already said it long ago. If I have to ignore it, what can I do? There are many booklets, various regulations, and even officials in the court memorize it. But I don't want to read or think about it in the simplest place, so what can I do?"

After hearing this, Wang Gongchen almost spit out a sip of tea and said, "Which one of them is the one? Please give me advice!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Although Nehan does not know about military affairs, should he have read the booklets?"

Wang Gongchen nodded: "No, although I can't memorize it like a stream, I still remember most of the contents and can recite them."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Wang Gongchen and nodded. This is the top scholar. Don’t underestimate him. This ability is magical for ordinary people. These top scholars are not unusual. Others have to learn a lot. He can remember it by reading it once, and don’t doubt it.

After adjusting his thoughts, Du Zhongxiao said, "Since Nehan remembers it, let's ask, what are the things that must be learned whether it is infantry, cavalry, artillery, whether it is officer or soldier?"

Wang Gongchen thought for a while and said, "There is a book called "Journal of the Military Information" that seems to be the name. I wonder if what I said is right?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes. Actually, there are two more books, but this one is not important."

Wang Gongchen looked at Du Zhongxiao for a while before saying, "These booklets that everyone has learned are nothing special, they are really that important?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Why doesn't it matter? Even if you join the army and what you do, you can't understand. How can you be a good soldier?"

Seeing Wang Gongchen nodding, but was still a little confused, Du Zhongxiao said again: "The tower is rising from the ground, Neihan, the foundation is not solid, no matter how good you learn later, it is useless. It is okay to train troops, but it is difficult to use troops, and it is even more difficult to be a general!"

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "After the martial arts performance in the capital, everyone was asking why, so many important officials were sent to me, what did I say? It was clearly written there, and everyone should know, but they couldn't do it well. Who can do it? There are only a few questions. For the court, why do the world and the country have an army? What should the army do? What tasks should be completed? How to complete the tasks? For a soldier, why do you come to join the army? What qualities should you have to do? What else do you need to say, just ask, have the ministers of the court figured out these simplest words? Have the people who studied in the military academy figured out?"

Wang Gongchen said: "Jingshou, please be honest. The ministers in the court really have their own answers to these words, and the difference is not far."

"Okay, if there is an answer, that's good. Then, let's develop the answers of ministers in the court, how to build an army, how to train troops, how to choose generals, and become a system, can it be matched with what is taught in the military academy? Nehhan, all regulations, booklets, compilation, and personnel selection and appointment start from these simplest words, and become fuller step by step. Each has its own answers, I'm very clear. Don't say a minister in the court, ask a village scholar that has his own answer. Just this answer can be combined with the entire military system, training, and combat system. It's easy to say one sentence, but it's not easy to run through the entire system. Without this foundation, those who teach and those who learn will not know what they are doing."

Wang Gongchen nodded and said, "It's a pity that I'm not engaged in military affairs. Although Jishuai explained it clearly, he still doesn't understand it. Please Jishuai explain it clearly, why are these important and how does it form a system? " Jishuai said it, "

Du Zhongxiao looked at Wang Gongchen and thought about the words. I hope it is a simple thing, the more difficult it is to explain it clearly. However, today, it seems that if you don’t say it clearly, at least you have to let Wang Gongchen understand it, and it will be more troublesome to do things in the future.

In Du Zhongxiao's memory, Wang Gongchen had no impression. When he was 18 years old, he was in the imperial examination in Beijing. At that time, everyone thought that Ouyang Xiu would win the top scorer. Even Ouyang Xiu himself thought so, and he made new clothes and prepared to win the top scorer. The young Wang Gongchen and Ouyang Xiu slapped his clothes, stole his clothes, and said happily: "I'm the top scorer!" Then he really became the top scorer. Don't think that this top scorer was picked up by Wang Gongchen. The top scorer of this era, at least there is no need to doubt them in terms of IQ.

Wang Gongchen was not famous in history, but his descendants were famous. One granddaughter was Li Qingzhao and another granddaughter. He did not leave any name in history, only Wang's family and Qin Hui. His granddaughter left a good reputation, but his granddaughter lost all his face.
