King's Landing: This attack is about to ascend the throne

Chapter 21: Three Strategies of the Art of War

Zhang Ren was contemplating when he suddenly heard Yan Chen calling him:

"Master, let's eat."

"I'm coming!"

Zhang Ren washed his hands and ran to the dining table.Just in time, Aunt Zhou brought over a bowl of rice.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhou." Zhang Ren said politely.

Aunt Zhou froze for a moment, then said:

"Hey, this kid startled me, how did his mouth become so sweet?"

Yan Chen filled a bowl of rice by himself, added oil and vinegar, hehe laughed and said:

"Since the young master fell into the water, he has completely changed, which shocked me too!"

Hearing Yan Chen's words, Uncle Zhou turned his face down and scolded Yan Chen:

"You still dare to mention the matter of the young master falling into the water, don't you think the punishment is not severe enough? If the young master hadn't been lucky enough to die, you would still be able to sit here and eat in peace?"

Zhang Ren snickered secretly, seeing Uncle Zhou smiling to himself and saying:

"Master, eat slowly, I'll go to the backyard to eat, and watch the birds by the way."

As he said that, Uncle Zhou put a few kinds of vegetables into his bowl, and then walked out of the house.

In the past two days, Zhang Ren discovered a pattern. Uncle Zhou always went to eat in the orchard in the backyard alone.It is said that it is to watch the birds and prevent the fruit from being eaten by the birds.In fact, Zhang Ren knew that Uncle Zhou knew in his heart that he was just a servant, and no matter how warm his master was to him, he should always remember his identity.And this point, Zhang Ren can also experience it from Yan Chen, because Zhou Bo taught Yan Chen in this way.

Zhang Ren didn't say much, because he knew that what he wanted to say at this time was not in line with his current age.The more you talk, the more you worry your family.

Seeing that his father and mother were missing, Zhang Ren asked Aunt Zhou:

"Aunt Zhou, why don't you see my father and mother? Did they go to my grandfather's house for a meeting again?"

"No, the master is in the study, and the madam delivered the food to the master herself, maybe because she is afraid that I will disturb the master's writing." Aunt Zhou said.

"Writing a book? What book is my father writing?" Zhang Ren asked curiously.

"I don't know this, I can only read, how can I know what kind of books!"

Just in time, Mrs. Lian came over after delivering the food to Zhang Zijun.Zhang Ren hurriedly asked:

"Mother, dad is writing a book? What book are you writing?"

"Your father wrote a military book, but it is a more targeted military book. You are too young to understand. If you are interested, you can ask Kuan'er to accompany you to read "Sun Tzu's Art of War." Mrs. Lian said.

"Yes, mother." Zhang Ren agreed.

A few days later, when Zhang Zijun was still working out the art of war in his study, a shocking news came suddenly: the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was abolished.

It turned out that everything was as expected by Zhang Zijun.

On the surface, Zhu Wen officially proclaimed himself emperor after Tang Prime Minister Zhang Wenwei led hundreds of officials to persuade him to enter. He changed his year name to Kaiping and his country name to Daliang.Bianzhou was promoted to Kaifeng, built as the eastern capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital of Tang Dynasty, was established as the western capital. The 17-year-old Zhaoxuan Emperor Li Ji was deposed as the King of Jiyin and moved to Caozhou Jiyin to be imprisoned.

Although everything was within Zhang Zijun's expectations, things happened too quickly.Of the three strategies in the Art of War, only one strategy has been completed.Zhang Zijun realized that he needed to work around the clock and speed up.

Therefore, Zhang Zijun forgot to eat and sleep, day and night to plan the remaining two strategies to preserve the peace of Fujian.

The hard work paid off, and after a few days, the three art of war, "Battle Strategy", "Attack Strategy" and "Defense Strategy" were completed.

"My son, the world is about to go into chaos, and the situation is urgent. I think I will go to Fuzhou tomorrow and present the three strategies of war to Lord Jiedu envoy Wang Shenzhi." Zhang Zijun said to Mrs. Lian.

"Zijun, don't worry, I will take care of the house." Mrs. Lian said.

"Tonight, I want to climb to the top of Xianxia Ridge, set up an altar and burn incense to pray to the heavens, so as to predict the luck of this trip." Zhang Zijun said worriedly.

"Okay, I'll let Brother Li and Sister Li go get ready now. I'll go with you when the time comes." Mrs. Lian said.

"Just let Brother Li go with me. At night, wolves, tigers and leopards often appear on the mountain. My son, you and Sister Li can just stay at home and watch the children." Zhang Zijun said.

"However, Brother Li is a rough man, and he won't be able to help you much if he goes. What's more, every time you set up an altar to worship the heavens, I will be by your side. Family members are around to show sincerity." Mrs. Lian persuaded.

"That's fine, then tell Sister Li to take good care of the children at home." Zhang Zijun agreed.

On that day, Zhang Ren heard about setting up an altar to worship heaven from Yan Chen.It turned out that Mrs. Lian told Yan Chen's father to prepare the items for the altar, which Yan Chen heard.Because these things had been prepared before, Yan Chen knew what they were going to do as soon as he heard them.

"Set up an altar and burn incense to beg God! When and where?" Zhang Ren asked curiously.

"I heard from my wife that it's more urgent and I have to get ready today. My father said that I don't have time in the morning, but I will definitely be ready in the afternoon. If I guessed correctly, it should be tonight, and the location should be on the top of Xianxialing as usual. "Yan Chen said wittily.

"Then tonight, let's go and have a look together, okay?" Of course Zhang Ren didn't want to miss such a rare event.

"Forget it, you don't remember, last time we followed secretly, we were found halfway, and we were sent home immediately. Not only did we not see it, but we were fined for confinement. We couldn't do it for half a month go out."

When Yan Chen said this, Zhang Ren remembered that such a thing happened. He thought for a while and asked:

"Then you know why they won't let us go?"

"That's needless to say, wild beasts often appear on the mountain at night, worrying that we will be disobedient and run around, and be eaten by wild beasts!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ren thought to himself, it seems that it is necessary to plan and plan well, so that they don't worry, and gain their trust and permission.

So Zhang Ren asked:

"Yanchen, do you know what altar items need to be prepared?"

"I know! Before, I helped my father prepare together." After speaking, Yan Chen seemed to have guessed Zhang Ren's thoughts suddenly, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the young master wants me to help prepare again in exchange for the opportunity to be together?" Heading to the top of Xianxia Ridge?"

"Again? Did I tell you this before?" Zhang Ren smiled wryly.

"That's right, young master, you forgot again, it happened half a year ago. I've been busy for a long time, but in the end I still didn't let you go! Hey!" Yan Chen sighed like an adult.

Zhang Ren smiled embarrassedly and said:

"It's different this time! I will personally prepare the items for the altar with you. Last time, I might just pretend to be in front of the adults. This time, we want to help from the bottom of our hearts, and want to experience and learn the art of worshiping heaven. I Think, this time is really different!"

As Zhang Ren spoke, his expression became more and more focused, and his tone became more and more serious.

After hearing those words, Yan Chen stared at Zhang Ren dumbfounded, and asked hesitantly, "Master, are you...are you alright?"

Only then did Zhang Ren realize that his words were too mature and serious, ignored Yan Chen's question, and said angrily, "Yan Chen, what's the matter with you! Didn't say it, we are brothers now, don't call me in private. My young master, just call me by my name!"

"Eh..." Yan Chen smiled silly, and explained: "Young master is used to this, and I can't change it for a while."

When Yan Chen talked about habits, he actually talked about Zhang Ren's heart.

After coming to this time and space, isn't Zhang Ren not used to many things?What made him even more upset was how he came to this time and this place.

I originally thought that traveling through time was such a refreshing thing.Maybe, I accidentally traveled to the Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty, where there are a lot of things and treasures.However, Zhang Ren never expected that he would be caught between the Tang and Song Dynasties, the most chaotic Five Dynasties period in history.

But if you want to talk about the Five Dynasties, there are also benefits of the Five Dynasties, princes, generals, and heroes come forth in large numbers.Perhaps, he accidentally traveled to the emperor's house, and in a few years he would be able to inherit the throne, give power to the government, and enjoy the glory.However, Zhang Ren never expected that his chance of winning the first prize was so low, and he was reborn into a family of intellectuals.

However, after careful consideration, he still feels very fortunate. After all, in this world, the rules of the game are still followed.

Sometimes, Zhang Ren would think about some unanswered questions, thinking that he was originally from Fujian, died heroically in Changsha, where the university is located, and then returned to Fujian after crossing the place of rebirth.Although they were separated by more than 1000 years, Zhang Ren firmly believed that there must be some kind of deep causal relationship, and he must have been brought back by some powerful mysterious force.

But this is just thinking about it. He knows that he has no ability to comprehend these mysteries. He can only accept and face the reality in front of him, learn everything that can make him stronger, and then try to create a different world here. what kind of life.For such a life, he didn't expect anything, because what he experienced reminded him that changes are always so sudden.

Zhang Zijun wanted to set up an altar to burn incense and beg to heaven for divination of good and bad luck. Zhang Ren certainly didn't want to miss this powerful divination technique.

Zhang Ren took Yanchen to find Uncle Zhou in the orchard in the backyard.Yan Chen seeing his father is like a mouse seeing a cat, unable to speak well.

"Father, the young master has something to look for you." Yan Chen shouted in fear.

Yan Chen's father put down the farm tools in his hand, walked over, and said to Zhang Ren with a smile:

"Master, what do you want us to tell us outside, there are many bugs on this fruit tree, if it falls on your head, then..."

"It's okay, Uncle Zhou, just say it here, in fact, I just want to ask you one thing." Zhang Ren said.

"Okay, young master, if you have something to say, just say it." Yan Chen's father said.

Zhang Ren thought for a while and said simply:

"Uncle Zhou, I want you to leave the preparation of the altar items to me and Yan Chen. If my mother asks, you will say that you are busy with the orchard and you don't have time, so leave it to us."

"Let you prepare? But do you know what you need to prepare?" Yan Chen's father looked surprised.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, we know about it." Zhang Ren said confidently.

"Well, that's fine." After Yan Chen's father finished speaking, he turned his head and thought something was wrong, and asked, "But why?"

Zhang Ren smiled, with a ghostly look, and explained:

"Hey, don't you want to make up for it. Zhou Bo, you also know that I made you adults worry about the incident of falling into the water last time. Now, I just want to take this opportunity to show a good performance and let my father and mother not Worry about me, I've really grown up."

Yanchen's father is naturally not a vegetarian, he has long seen through the children's tricks, he said haha:

"You ghost, don't think you can fool Uncle Zhou. You want to show yourself well and try to go to the top of Xianxialing Mountain with us tonight."
