Chapter 503 Students
Drawing a map? Xue Rengui was a little confused.
Li Chengqian suddenly sent fifty students, which made him a little puzzled, and the task of drawing a map made him feel extremely puzzled.
"What map is drawn? Don't we?"
"It's different. The maps in your hands are not accurate now. Many times they cannot meet the needs. We must draw more detailed maps." Through chatting, Bai Wenmo found that Xue Rengui did not seem to be so difficult to touch, and he couldn't help but relax and explained to him seriously.
"Our map is inaccurate?" Xue Rengui frowned slightly.
Bai Wenmo nodded: "Yes, the map of the Tang Dynasty is not accurate, especially in places outside the border. Most of them are drawn with triangles to represent mountains, waves to represent rivers, and circles to represent lakes. There are not even tribal settlements. Where to rest and recuperate is only relying on the general's memory, which is very unreasonable."
“Isn’t the map like this?”
"Let me do this, I'll show you a map of Yangguan. After reading it, you will know." Bai Wenmo waved to a student on his opponent, then took a piece of white silk from the student and handed it to Xue Rengui.
With a curiosity in his heart, Xue Rengui took the white silk and took it in his hand and opened it. He was stunned.
What's this? Not to mention the colorful picture, there are circles on it. What is this for? Is it graffiti?
However, Xue Rengui soon saw some doors and paths from some of the above marks. The name of the mountain and the height of the mountain were clearly marked. Every village and every road were also marked on the map. And according to his own memory, it seemed that those thick and thin lines represent the width of the road.
It is indeed very detailed, which is much more detailed than the one in his hand. Although he doesn't know what the circles and colors are used for, the function of this map can be seen from the lines representing the road alone.
When marching and fighting, you need to bring a lot of weapons. If you don’t know how wide the road ahead is, it is likely that the trouble of the weapons being arrived but not being able to get through.
"Mr. Bai, what are the uses of these colors and circles?" After realizing the importance of this map, Xue Rengui became much more polite to Lao Bai and asked humbly.
"The color represents the height of the terrain. For example, the terrain here is far higher than that of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, so the color here is orange-red, and the higher the terrain, the redder the color. Those circles represent the steepness of the mountain. The closer the distance between the two circles, the steeper the mountain, and vice versa!" Bai Wenmo took the map, pointed to some more prominent positions above, and explained Xue Rengui one by one.
When Bai Wenmo finished speaking, Xue Rengui looked at the map again, and green light began to pop out of his eyes, looking like he wanted to eat the map.
"General Xue! General Xue!" After Bai Wenmo finished speaking, he saw that Xue Rengui had no response for a long time. He thought something was wrong with him, so he couldn't help but call him.
"Oh! Sorry, I'm a little distracted just now." Xue Rengui came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and then asked with concern: "Mr. Bai, should you also draw the map of the Western Regions in this way?"
"Of course, this is the standard, and all maps must be drawn according to this." Bai Wenmo nodded.
"Then, can you give us one?" Xue Rengui asked expectantly.
Bai Wenmo smiled faintly, put the map in his hand away, and handed it to the student behind him, asking him to put it on: "This is natural. When he came, his Highness told me that he must leave one for you and teach you how to view the pictures, otherwise I would not explain to you the meaning of all the signs on this map just now."
When Xue Rengui heard that he would give himself a copy of the map, he had a spirit in his mind. His attitude, which had originally not valued these students, changed a lot of 180 degrees. He shouted to Gao Zhan, who was quarreling in the distance: "Gao Zhan, you bastard, get over immediately."
A moment later, Gao Zhan appeared in front of Xue Rengui, glanced at Bai Wenmo and others, and asked, "What's the matter? So urgent?"
"Call the Seventh Brigade here immediately, they..." Xue Rengui scratched Bai Wenmo and the students with his fingers: "Everyone of them must have ten people around him to protect their personal safety at any time. Remember, even if the Seventh Brigade is dead, these people cannot hurt a single hair!"
"What?! The Seventh Brigade is all transferred here? Keeping these sour diced?" Gao Zhan's eyes almost glared out in surprise.
In his impression, at this critical moment, these students are coming to cause trouble. It would be great if they didn't drive them back. They also want to beg for the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to protect them? Are you having fun?
"Stop talking nonsense, go and do it quickly. If there is a problem with these people, you will be engaged in military law." Xue Rengui didn't have time to explain the importance of these people to Gao Zhan at this time, but just urged him to do it quickly.
"Here!" Gao Zhan is not a reckless man who doesn't know the matter. If Xue Rengui takes it so seriously, there must be a certain reason for this, so he will naturally not say a word again.
After Gao Zhan left, Xue Rengui turned around and smiled at Bai Wenmo and said, "Mr. Bai, your subordinates are ignorant, so you will laugh."
"It's okay, the army will soon start a war with the Western Turks. Every combat power is very precious, so it's not General Gao's fault for this matter." Bai Wenmo said politely, paused and said with some confusion: "But with the ability of this group of students, the general will definitely not be disappointed in the future."
But Xue Rengui just wants to go back quickly and pull Wu Chen over and ask what these people are. He has no intention of caring about Lao Bai's confusion. In his somewhat disappointed eyes, he bowed and said, "Xue understands that it's too late today. Mr. Bai must be tired after running around for a long time. Please rest early. I'll say goodbye first, and come and ask the teacher for advice after I understand!"
"General Xue doesn't have to be so polite. We are afraid that we will trouble the general here for a long time. The future is long. Just give me instructions if you have any questions!" Lao Bai was a little disappointed when he was not sold, but he still paid a gift to Xue Rengui as he followed suit.
After Xue Rengui left, the student who had just handed the map to Bai Wenmo hesitated and said hesitantly: "Teacher Bai, student, student wants to join the 'fangs'!"
Bai Wenmo smiled faintly and patted the student who was half a head taller than him on the shoulder: "You are now considered to be graduated, so I will no longer restrict you. Do whatever I want. But I think my teacher's opinion is that this 'fang' is not easy to enter. If you want to join, perform well!"
