"If you have the ability, you can take him back to the north. But before that, don't interfere with my business." Pei Manxilou said lightly.
"Your business...."
Huang Xian'er played with her nails, restrained her charming look, and said: "I said, how could a proud person like you be willing to lose to someone you have never met."
"I have inquired about it these days. Although Xu Qian'an is a peerless poet, he has never made any achievements in military strategy. I suspect that the military book was written by Wei Yuan. So I want to visit him and test it out. Of course, if he is really the author of the military book..."
Pei Manxilou paused, clenched his fist slightly, and his tone was a little excited and eager:
"I want to ask him a few questions, ask how to break the war in the north. Such a master of military strategy often has an idea, an idea, which may be the key to the success or failure of the war."
Huang Xian'er curled her lips: "How can it be so exaggerated."
The carriage stopped, and the two lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage.
Led by the doorman Lao Zhang, Huang Xian'er stepped into the Xu Mansion, looked around, and said with a smile: "Not bad!"
During this period of time, she followed Pei Manxiluo to run around and entertain in the government offices of the capital, and saw too many mansions. The scale and architecture of the Xu Mansion are probably better than the others.
Walking along the bluestone paved road, in front of her is a building with a grand appearance and flying eaves on both sides. It is the outer hall of the Xu Mansion for guests.
Huang Xian'er's eyes suddenly lit up. She saw a man wearing a black robe with gold and silver threads and gorgeous accessories, standing at the door of the outer hall.
He was looking at them with a smile.
This man has carved facial features, full of masculine masculinity, but not rough. If you look closely, you will find that he is actually very handsome.
But his sharp eyes, strong physique, and wheat-colored skin make him look completely different from his handsome cousin.
I was not disappointed. Just this skin is worthy of my aunt's love. Huang Xian'er smiled charmingly.
Xu Qian'an had seen them at the literary meeting, so he just glanced at them and didn't look at them for long.
Well, Huang Xian'er, this enchantress, is still as coquettish as ever! He muttered in his heart, but smiled gently on the surface: "You two, please come in!"
He just glanced at me lightly, without revealing the usual covetousness and surprise of men, but it was obviously the first time I met him.......
This is definitely not because I am not charming enough, but Xu Yinluo, who is either extremely resistant to beauty, or the rumors about his affair with the courtesan of the Jiaofang Division that are circulating in the capital are actually his deliberate disguise..... The smart and cunning Huang Xian'er noticed this detail and kept it in mind.
No matter which possibility it is, it indicates that Xu Yinluo is not an ordinary man, and it is quite difficult to seduce him.
Wouldn't it be more interesting this way? If you can get into bed with just an eye contact, it would be too unchallenging... I heard that there are countless decent women in the capital who admire him.
Hey, I want to sleep with the most outstanding young man in Dafeng!
I want to hook up with the man that countless women in the capital dream of!
Just imagine, the most outstanding young man in Dafeng, the famous Xu Yinluo, the object of countless women in the capital's dream, was hooked up by a foreigner. How relieved and how cool it is.
Not only is it a mental crush on the women in the capital, but the Hui people can also brag in front of their sisters, making those little vixens envious.
Xu Qian'an led the two demon envoys into the hall and ordered the servants to serve tea. He sat in the main seat and joked:
"Knowing that the emperor and I have a feud, you still come to visit. This is to put me to death."
Because these two are demons, he warned the women in his family in advance not to come to the outer courtyard today.
Pei Manxilou took a sip of tea out of courtesy, and also joked with a smile:
"The grudge between you and the Emperor of Dafeng has long been known to everyone. I am very curious about how Xu Yinluo will deal with it."
Xu Qian'an smiled, did not respond, and just said: "I am no longer Yinluo."
Pei Manxilou stopped talking and said: "At the literary meeting that day, I read Mr. Xu's military book, which was like an epiphany. In fact, I have admired Mr. Xu for a long time."
Huang Xian'er said sweetly: "I have also admired Mr. Xu for a long time."
Her voice was delicate, and she spoke like a spoiled child.
Xu Qi'an ignored the flirtatious behavior of the fox beauty and smiled:
"Mr. Pei Man's talent also shocked me. I didn't expect that there would be such a brilliant scholar from a foreign tribe. You have won the respect of Dafeng with your talent."
Huang Xian'er pouted and said in a delicate voice: "What about me? Haven't I won the respect of the young master?"
You? You won the respect of the officialdom with the plump seafood of the fox tribe......Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and only smiled slightly at this kind of provocative conversation.
The fox girl of the fox tribe has now won unanimous praise in the Dafeng officialdom. The Beijing officials have talked about it privately. Even Xu Erlang has heard about it and mentioned it to his elder brother during a chat.
"But even I find it difficult to face the cavalry of Jingguo. The cavalry of my God Clan is fierce, which is known to all the nine states. But it is difficult for a common man to achieve great things with his courage." Pei Manxilou said with emotion:
"This time, Xilou came to ask Mr. Xu for advice."
Ask me for advice? I'm just a porter. The Art of War was not written by me, but by Sun Tzu. Isn't the title of the book very clear?... You are a great scholar who is proficient in the art of war, and you ask me for advice?
Xu Qian'an complained madly in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, just smiled faintly: "I wrote in the military book that knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in every battle."
Hearing his answer, Pei Manxiluo's smile widened, and he had a preliminary recognition of Xu Yinluo's level, and said slowly:
"I was too anxious. Well, there are two types of cavalry in Jingguo. One is called the Fire Armor Army, which is famous for its special armor. Their mounts are unicorn scale beasts, which are high-quality war horses and a breed called monster za in Jingguo.
"This beast has terrible endurance, amazing defense of its scales, and the unicorn on its head is invincible when it charges. Even the strongest heavy cavalry of the barbarians dare not say that they will win when they meet them, and the Fire Armor Army has a total of 40,000. "
No wonder the heavy cavalry composed of 40,000 exotic beasts can sweep across the demons and barbarians... Xu Qian'an was secretly surprised.
Pei Manxilou continued: "And their light cavalry should not be underestimated either. They are as fast as fire. After the heavy cavalry charges, the light cavalry is responsible for harvesting the scattered enemy troops. The two cooperate and are invincible.
"Moreover, the north is mostly plains, unlike the Central Plains, which are densely covered with mountains and rivers. Finding a good terrain can effectively curb the Jingguo cavalry. May I ask Xu Yinluo, how should my northern gods deal with it?"
How the hell do I know? If it were me, I would just go A and not care so much... Xu Qian'an suddenly flashed Xu Erlang's manuscript in his mind, and he laughed and said:
"If it was the army of Dafeng, facing such iron cavalry in the north, it would only need to use artillery and crossbows to bombard in turns."
Pei Manxiluo shook his head and said, "Therefore, Jingguo has light cavalry, which is very fast. As long as the camp is dispersed and the first two rounds of bombing are withstood, the artillery corps of Dafeng can be destroyed."
Xu Qian'an said, "Two methods, set up iron spikes and stags a hundred steps away from the artillery, or dig pits to trap horses. Just use a fist-sized rod to pierce the ground and dig a deep pit of the corresponding size to effectively curb the cavalry's charge.
"Light cavalry is not as good as heavy cavalry. It cannot be ignored. Once the speed of the charge is hindered, it will have to endure several more rounds of artillery and chariots. Haha, there is no fixed pattern for soldiers. If there is no terrain advantage, you must learn to create advantages for yourself."
Trapping horse pits, setting up stags... I also have similar strategies, and now, there are two more ways to create "geographical advantages" on the plains... Pei Manxiluo's eyes lit up, he silently memorized it, and then smiled deeply:
"Mr. Xu doesn't know that Jingguo also has artillery and chariots. As far as I know, these were sent to the Wushen Cult by the former Minister of War of your Dafeng. It is difficult to deal with the Jingguo Cavalry with just horse pits and deer forts. "
Damn, why didn't you say it earlier? You are not only here to ask for advice, but also to mess things up... Xu Qiyan couldn't help but look at him.
This Pei Manxiluo is not only here to ask for advice, but also to test his depth, because he was "killed with one blow" by him at the literary meeting, and he was not convinced?
Fortunately, I read some of Erlang's strategies last night... Xu Qiyan laughed and said, "Aren't the cavalry of the two tribes of monsters and barbarians going to be used?"
He flexibly changed his thinking and pulled the monster army into the camp to fill the weakness of his own combat power. In Xu Erlang's conception, the monster army was also taken into account.
Pei Manxiluo seemed to be arguing: "In this case, at most it is evenly matched."
"No, it's not evenly matched."
Xu Qi'an shook his head: "If Dafeng and Yaoman join forces, the chances of winning will definitely crush the Jingguo army, even if they also have a certain number of artillery. The more arms, the more room for maneuver.
"Hehe, let me give you a small example. I heard that every warrior of the Jinmu tribe of the barbarians raises a strange beast, Tianlang, and is the only flying beast army among the twelve tribes. In addition, the warriors of the Jinmu tribe are good at shooting. "
Pei Manxilou was a little disappointed: "Although the flying beast army of the Jinmu tribe is good at shooting, it is difficult for arrows to break through the armor of the fire armor army. Some masters may be able to do it, but on a large battlefield, it is a drop in the bucket. "
Xu Qi'an smiled: "Brother Pei Man's mind is still not flexible enough. Why must you rely on arrows to cause damage? Since penetrating damage cannot pose a threat to the fire armor army, why don't we try another way. For example, tie kerosene on the arrows.
"It is difficult to take off the armor of heavy cavalry. Once it is stained with kerosene, the flames will burn the armor red in just a moment. It can't be extinguished or taken off. At that time, the heavy armor they are proud of will become the most fatal flaw."
This move also came from Erlang's idea.
Pei Manxilou was slightly moved, and it was difficult to remain calm. He whispered to himself:
"Yes, since arrows are difficult to hurt, why not try fire attack. The iron armor of heavy cavalry is difficult to take off by themselves. Once it is stained with kerosene, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. The flying beast army of the Jinmu tribe shoots arrows from a high position, and the fire armor army can't dodge. It's feasible, completely feasible......"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he was enlightened by a peerless master.
"Mr. Xu is indeed a master of military tactics. He is good at using military forces and tools, which coincides with my military philosophy. These words can be said to be a wake-up call. Unfortunately, there are too few people in the God Clan who are proficient in military tactics.
"If someone could discuss it with me earlier, maybe, maybe this trick would have been thought of earlier. Why should my God Clan be so embarrassed."
Even Huang Xian'er, who is not proficient in military tactics, has figured out the beauty of this trick.
She looked at Xu Qian'an with a touch of appreciation.
It was no longer a pure pursuit of beauty. For this man, she had some pure appreciation in her heart, the appreciation of a female for a male.
"Out of control, out of control! "
Pei Manxilou took a sip of tea to suppress his excitement. At the same time, he had a more "greedy" idea.
While both parties were in high spirits and Xu Qi'an had no intention of keeping secrets, why not take this opportunity to learn more tactics from this great master of military strategy?
For example, his ideal tactics that can win with one strike.
Pei Manxilou now fully believes that the book "The Art of War" was written by Xu Qi'an and is genuine.
So, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Although this plan is wonderful, the Wushen Cult is coming with great momentum this time, and it is not just the Jingguo Iron Cavalry. Otherwise, with the strength of Zhu Jiu Da Yao, even if he was injured, it would not make Xiahou Yushu so rampant.
"There is a third-grade wizard in the Jingguo Corps, and there are many fourth-grade wizards. They can manipulate corpse soldiers and stimulate the blood of humans and beasts on a large scale, making their combat power soar for a short time.
"This time, the Jingguo Iron Cavalry is so fierce. Mr. Xu is knowledgeable and should know that the battlefield is the home of wizards. The role of a third-grade wizard on the battlefield is better than that of a third-grade immortal body. I dare to ask, is there any tactic that can hit the key point and make the final decision? "
"Immortal Body" is the name of a third-grade warrior.
That's too much. You still want a final tactic?
You are like a little cow parachuting. You are so awesome... Xu Qian'an complained in his heart. He glanced at Pei Manxiluo and Huang Xian'er and found that they looked serious and focused. They seemed to really think that he could come up with some great tactics.
There is no such tactic in Erlang's "manuscript"... He muttered in his heart, thinking of chatting a few words, and then sighed euphemistically and said that he was powerless.
The lines are all ready. Just say that the battlefield changes rapidly. How can it be solved by talking about it on paper?
"How is the strength of the Yasukuni Army? How many cavalry, artillery, and infantry are there?" Xu Qian'an asked.
Pei Manxiluo pondered for a moment and said:
"During the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the number of the Fire Armor Army reached 50,000, but they were all destroyed in that battle. During these twenty years of recuperation, I estimate that the Fire Armor Army cannot exceed 50,000, because no matter the quality of the cavalry or the cultivation of war beasts, they are all selected from thousands. It is extremely difficult to cultivate.
"As for the light cavalry, the number is not large. Jingguo has exhausted its financial resources to support the Fire Armor Army, and it is difficult to support more light cavalry. In fact, the existence of light cavalry is to make up for the shortcomings of the Fire Armor Army to a certain extent. Now 80,000 light cavalry are fighting in the north."
All the financial resources of Jingguo are used to raise war horses... Xu Qian'an took a sip of tea and said, "I know."
He was about to say the prepared lines to send this barbarian away, but suddenly he was stunned. The conversation just now flashed like a slide.
Jingguo has a maximum of 40,000 heavy cavalry, and the light cavalry came out in full force to fight against the monsters in the north...
One of the thirty-six strategies suddenly jumped into his mind.
He put down the teacup and glanced at the two people with a calm smile: "Why not try to sneak attack the capital of Jingguo."
Bang!
The teacup at hand accidentally hit the ground, and Pei Manxi's breathing suddenly became rapid, causing his chest to heave violently.
