Chapter 073 Real Dragon Reappearance

Such a person who is not good at words, from commenting on the battles of Jiang Cheng and Luo Luoqiao to the battle of Qin and Han. Half of the time at the military conference of Jiankang's offensive and defensive war, Tan Daoji was talking alone, and others were listening.

Tan Shao, the eldest brother of Tan Daoji, had to get up and interrupt him and say, "Taoji, we will arrive at the city of Jiankang, and let's listen to the generals and other generals how to punish the siege." Then he smiled at us, "My brother doesn't talk much, but when it comes to the war, my brothers are no match for him. Dao Jishang was young and read a lot of books, but he didn't have much experience in war. It's just talking about soldiers on paper. Please forgive me."

I waved my hand to Tan Shao and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The theory of Taoism just now did point out the essence of Jiankang's siege of the city. As mentioned, we have few soldiers, and the most taboo is siege warfare and position warfare. In terms of positional warfare, it is not impossible to win if the command is right, but the siege is definitely unlikely to win.

Previously, he wanted to use Liu Mai, Wang Yuande and other righteous people as internal response to open the city gate and enter the city for a street battle. However, the two died before the uprising, and the rest of the righteous men were also controlled by Huan Xuan in Jiankang, which was difficult to do. Now, I only hope that Huan Xuan thinks that we have few soldiers and can transfer troops out of the city to fight against me. If you don't win, you can defeat the Jiankang garrison. Jiankang City can also eliminate the need for blood blades.

Liu Yi, He Wuji, Tan Yu and others nodded frequently and agreed with the case.

I nodded to Tan Daoji with a smile and showed him my appreciation. Tan Daoji sat down with embarrassment and stopped talking.

Our fleet is getting closer and closer to Jiankang City. The tall Jiang Shan is approaching us step by step. After that mountain, there is the ultimate destination of our visit - Jiankang City.

After the military meeting, I specially went to Tan Daoji's cabin to talk to him alone.

Other people's cabins are mainly weapons and food, but more than a dozen books are pushed in Tan Daoji's cabin.

I flipped through a few books, all of which were military books. The gap between the words of the book is full of Tan Daoji's comments and pictures. The handwriting is very difficult to distinguish, but it can be seen that most of the pictures are arrays. After turning a few pages, I was already fascinated.

Those short words, after Tan Daoji's comments, can form a complete practical example. His comments are not complicated, sometimes just write a few numbers such as "guandu" and "Maling" next to a line. People who don't know the history of war don't know what to say. For me, these are well-known ancient examples of war. One is the Battle of Guandu, in which Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the other is the Battle of Maling, in which Sun Bin defeated Pang Juan during the Warring States Period.

Tan Daoji rubbed his hands and stood aside and said with a smile, "Every time I read it, I will think of similar examples of war. The root cause of victory and defeat in each battle can be found in these military books. Whenever I feel something when I read it, I will write it down casually.

"Vinable! Very good! I love reading military books as much as you do. It's different, but it's not as hard as you. In fact, it's not that I don't want to annotate, but I don't like writing very much. I have always been lazy in the matter of dancing and painting. I always think that it is effective to remember everything in my heart. What is written in a book is always just a mark.

However, the older you are, the more you suffer countless losses on your laziness. But since there has never been the habit of taking notes, it is more difficult to develop this good habit when you are old. Now it seems that most of the contents of the previous impressive books have been forgotten. As a last resort, I had to read the book again, which took a lot of time.

Tan Daoji saw what I said and said for me, "The general has been in the army for decades, and all kinds of battle cases and tactics are clear. There is no need to annotate like me. I have only joined the army for a few years. It's just a piece of paper. In the future, I need to ask the general for more advice in the march.

"I don't dare to ask for advice. What I know is also very limited. After all, I didn't read well when I was a child. I didn't start reading until I grew up and joined the army. Fortunately, I prefer ancient war cases. After reading military books, I gradually appreciate the subtlety of them. Coupled with the actual combat at the time of Sun En and Lu Xun, it is very beneficial. Has Daoji read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

"I have only read Wei Wu's article, and the rest is not much."

"Hmm. Wei Wu is indeed an extraordinary person. You can read other articles in your spare time. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms talks about both history and war.

"I respect the general's teaching."

"You..." Looking at the Tan clan, a sadness suddenly came to my heart. I patted him on the shoulder and swallowed what I wanted to say before he noticed the change in my expression.

Tan Daoji took two books from ** and said, "I have noted Sima Tho and Wu Zi in detail before. I want to give the two books to the general for investigation.

"Wu Zi?" I was very surprised to hear it, "But the military book written by Wu Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"Exact."

It is said that this book has long been lost. I also read several films ten years ago, which don't seem to be the original. I took over the two books handed over by Tan Daoji and couldn't wait to open the book titled Wu Zi. The content of this book is different from several books I have read before.

I asked suspiciously, "There are many versions of this book after the end of Qin, which are said to be fake works by later generations. Where did you come from?

"I bought it from a northern expatriates in Guangling. It was a scholar family, and the books that had been treasured for more than 100 years were sold. I have browsed the other collections, and they are all authentic. So I think Wu Zi will definitely not be false. Because I can't be sure whether it is true or not, I spent months studying it word by word in this book. I think this must be true.

"So it is." I stroked the authentic book Wu Zi, and I couldn't help feeling it. This feeling is like a literati occasionally getting an ancient famous painting. I opened the page again and looked through it again and said, "However, how can I accept such a heavy gift?"

"The so-called sword is given to heroes. What I value is not the value of books, but the value of military tactics. After the annotation of Wu Zi, I have transcribed several books, one for my own use, and others have been given to my relatives and friends. The general is a person who likes the art of war, and this real gift to the general is just right. In terms of the last general, Quan only talks about respect. As early as the beginning of the uprising, I thought about giving it to the general, which can be sold to collectors as ancient books, and can also raise some money and food for our army.

During the march, everything was unpredictable. No wonder Tan Daoji took this ancient book in his hands. On the one hand, he has left a copy and is not afraid of losing the real book; on the other hand, as Tan Daoji said, it can be temporarily used as a monument in exchange for military resources.

For me, the value of this book is what is written in the book, not as the value of the ancient book itself. Since Tan Daoji sincerely gave it to me, I had to say, "In this way, I will accept it with a smile. Thank you very much!"

"General, I want to ask for advice."

"What's the matter?"

I thought this idiot would ask me about the art of war, but the sentence he asked me was completely unexpected:

"Why do you have dragon patterns on your body?"

Dragon pattern? What dragon pattern?" I was shocked. I thought that only the old monks in Zhulin Temple saw the dragon pattern. Where did Tan Daoji hear about this?

"Didn't you show a dragon pattern on your body when you lectured to the soldiers at the gate of Jingkou City that day?"

Ah? If Tan Daoji hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten it. When I stood at the head of the city and lectured that day, Liu Zhong and others suddenly left me and stayed away from me; even Meng Chang, a calm and calm person, stammered because of nervousness when talking to me.

Although I was also strange about their behavior at that time, I didn't care about it after that. When things are critical, how can people be in the mood to think about it on the way to march?

Now after hearing what Tan Daoji said, I realized that there was a dragon pattern on my body at that time.

It turns out that there is such a thing as dragon pattern!
