In Hongyi Palace, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji sat opposite each other. On the table in front of them, there was also a topographic map of Guanzhong.

The map they used came from the army, and was a sketch prepared to facilitate marching, war, and camp.

The drawings are very rough. You can tell at a glance that they were written by ordinary military generals. The drawings are very careless and they are completely perfunctory.

Compared with the map hand-drawn by Xu Le, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Even such a crude map was obtained by Li Shimin's usual income and wealth to make friends with military generals and accumulating a good reputation in the army.

If someone else wants to see this map if he wants to ask his grandparents to kneel down and kowtow, he will not be able to do so.

This is how it is these days. The impact of war on the world has affected all aspects. In addition to direct life killing, it also has a profound impact on the inheritance of skills and changes in people's hearts.

The war is raging, and people are unpredictable. Even the closest relatives may wave their butcher knife. People become unbelievable, and it becomes more difficult to teach many skills.

There are fewer and fewer people learning things, and the choices of disciples are getting smaller and smaller, so the requirements for successor qualifications can only be lowered step by step.

The final result is that whether the skills can be passed down depends on luck.

Even if the disciple is not this material, he can only teach him. As for what he can learn, it is God's decision.

There are only a few people like Xu Le who are talented, down-to-earth and willing to learn. Most people are actually more mediocre and prefer comfort.

No one is willing to spend so much effort to go up the mountains and down the rivers to carefully explore the terrain and landforms, and not to use his feet as a ruler to measure the distance.

It’s basically just to draw a picture and you can see where you go. No one dares to say that you are not. What does it matter if you are good or bad?

"What you get from this Guanzhong is still too easy, and the adults are too lenient, and their generals live a comfortable life, and they will inevitably become lazy."

Li Shimin looked at the crude sketch in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Guanzhong is the foundation of the Li family, and it is necessary to manage it with care.

But this business is not enough to cost money. If you can’t even find a decent map, how can you manage the place?

By then, it was not the same thing. The court issued a decree and the people knew nothing.

Below is the noble family who is still in the world. Relying on their ability to control the place and isolate the upper and lower levels, the court said that the people think, and it is all up to these people! If ordinary people in the Hansu family refuse to submit to them, they will never be able to make a fortune in their entire lives!"

"Erro doesn't have to get angry, it's always been like this."

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly: "It's not a day when the ice is frozen, and this matter is unhurried.

Culture, education, and all kinds of skills are controlled by the high families of aristocratic families, and it is difficult for ordinary people to master these methods.

If the generals were willing to endure hardship, this map would definitely be well drawn.

But who are they?

When one of them learned the arts from an elementary school, they knew that they would be the commander of thousands of troops in the future. The lives of thousands of people were in their hands. It would be enough to just go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and command the three armies. There was no need to be distracted from other idiotic things.

For them, as long as they practice martial arts well in their lives and know how to kill people, they would be enough. How could they put down their figure like woodcutters and farmers to climb mountains and ridges to go to dangerous places?

Those soldiers who are willing to endure hardships, no one is willing to teach them if they want to learn this craft, so they are naturally like this."

"Sooner or later, somebody will have to ask them to change this charter!"

Li Shimin murmured in a low voice, then sighed again: "I understand what the auxiliary machine said, but are you not angry when you look at this map?

We are all men who lead the troops, so we should be able to see that if we get the front enemy with such a map, it will be a death for someone to die!"

"Erlang, don't worry, you have to think so. Although the map in our hands is not good, how good can the opponent be?

After all, their people are not as good as us. I am afraid that I have never had such a map."

After all, he was born as a general. Although since the founding of the emperor, Changsun has established a foothold in literary affairs, his ancestral skills have not been abandoned.

Even if his martial arts are not outstanding enough, he always knows the virtues of those who are in the same general.

Changsun Wuji understood the source of Li Shimin's anger, but still felt that Li Shimin was a little worried.

He was with Xu Le for too long, and subconsciously regarded Xu Le and the people around him as benchmarks. He used them to measure other military generals, but he felt that it was not eye-catching.

This is obviously wrong.

Not to mention that there are not many powerful generals like Xu Gan in the world, just say that the Xu family’s family education inheritance does not conform to the rules of ordinary generals.

In order to establish a family, our ancestors sacrificed their lives to fight and charge into battle. The martial arts that were honed from the sea of ​​blood were naturally extremely good.

However, since the ancestors have made a name for themselves and have earned a considerable family business for their descendants, their descendants often do not want to suffer any more.

People are the same. How many people are willing to suffer?

Without the threat of life, I still lack a bit of ruthlessness in practicing martial arts.

Even if the father and grandfather use big sticks to suck it, it is difficult to cultivate their skills to the level of their ancestors.

Therefore, after several generations of hereditary generals, most of them were not satisfactory. It is rare for Xu Le to be able to defeat his ancestors and surpass his ancestors.

Even martial arts practice is the case, let alone miscellaneous craftsmanship such as drawing maps. It is good to be willing to learn, and you cannot ask for it to be very good.

Li Shimin used an alien like Xu Le as a benchmark to measure other military generals, not only to those people, but also to Li Shimin's own career.

In the past, Li Shimin did not hesitate to make friends with martial artists. Although Changsun Wuji felt so painful, he would also support him with all his strength.

He knew very well that if his brother-in-law wanted to beat Li Jiancheng, there was only one way to go.

Only by replacing military merits with success can the eldest son be replaced by the throne.

It is not a mistake to make friends with tiger generals and capable ministers, but the premise is that they can prepare for themselves ascending the throne rather than being counterproductive.

At any time, there are many people and many people, and the momentum of a group of people is even stronger than that of a single person.

In the past, Li Shimin's eyes, warriors were all good players. As long as the military general was willing to interact, he would treat the other party as a friend.

But since Xu Le, Li Shimin has been a little disliked by ordinary warriors, and always feels that their mediocre methods cannot help much.

In this way, Li Shimin will inevitably have fewer and fewer followers. How can he make a big name for himself?

Taking a top figure as a ruler to ask others, the result will only be a lonely person! Therefore, Changsun Wuji would like to mention Li Shimin whenever he had the chance. No matter how capable Xu Le was, he would be alone.

The help that Li Shimin can provide is limited. If you want to achieve great things, you have to make more friends instead of just recognizing one person.

He also knew what Li Shimin was worried about, so he spoke up to comfort him, so he told Li Shimin not to worry too much.

However, this comfort did not really work. Li Shimin frowned and did not relax at all: "If you say this to others, it is true, but this time the opponent is Wagang Xiangma.

Their greatest ability is that they are familiar with geography and are used to harassing small groups of light riders.

If you fight head-on, even if you don’t use the Xuanjia Cavalry, you will not be afraid of those bandits by the children of the six Hedong Mansions.

But when it comes to familiarity with geography, our children are not as good as others.

This picture has not marked remote paths, and our people don’t know them, but they are probably aware of those loud horses.

Someone also knew that the army was difficult to walk through in the small paths, so our generals never took it seriously.

I always feel that such a small path has no impact on military and national affairs, so why waste my time?

But they didn't think that even a small group of raids could not shake the army, harass the rear, rob food and grass, or harass the people.

Have they ever thought about the people behind them?

Or do you think you can win a battle with your little martial arts?”

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and did not answer. There was no need to give an answer to this question. He had already explained everything with his smile.

There are no common people in the hearts of those military generals.

It’s not their fault, even the nobles of the dynasty may not really take the word "love the people" in mind.

Not everyone is the same. I believe that the ownership of the world is determined by swords and swords. The so-called people only think of when they ask for food and recruit soldiers, and they don’t care about it in normal times.

Not to mention them, if it weren't for Jiu Niang's safety this time, I wouldn't be too lazy to accompany Li Shimin to study the map.

In fact, Changsun Wuji had another idea in his mind, but he knew very well that if he said this, Li Shimin would turn against him on the spot, and he would have to be ruthless with him, so he could only keep this idea in his heart.

After all, Erlang is still too kind and has never been forced into a desperate situation. Many ideas cannot be raised yet, and it will not be too late to speak up when the time comes.

As for the moment, no matter how angry Li Shimin is, he is unable to change the overall situation. All he can do is to try his best to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan next step.

"What Erlang thought makes sense, but according to his thoughts, it would not be like this.

Dalang was in charge of Tongguan. Even if the generals under his command were not as brave as Lelangjun, he was still a veteran who had experienced many battles. He had rich experience on the battlefield and would not be negligent and lazy to be taken advantage of by Wagang.

The former Wagang Army was able to attack and harass with light cavalry whistles, but it was mainly because it was a cold war.

With the lessons learned from the past, Dalang will definitely be wary of not making any mistakes.

Even if he doesn't care about others, he can't ignore himself.

The food and grass in Tongguan also need to be helped by Yongfeng Warehouse. If there is any loss of military rations, he will be the first to die."

Li Shimin also understood that Changsun Wuji was telling the truth, and then he made suggestions to promote the joint launch of the noble women in the city to raise funds and work on the front line. The purpose was not only to allow Xu Le to obtain food and grass, but also to make Li Jiancheng look disgrace.

This not only affects the victory or defeat of the front enemy, but also the result of the struggle between him and Li Jiancheng.

When things come to this point, we can only go down, and there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway.

Jiu Niang appeared on the front line, which is also part of this plan.

At the beginning of the decision, I had repeatedly calculated that as long as people arrived in Luoyang, there would be no danger.

I was operating on my own territory along the way, so I would never have any mistakes.

After thinking about it, it was a foolproof situation. In theory, we should not worry about anything anymore.

But looking at the map in front of me, I can't let go of my heart.
