generation hero

So the two of them started their study time in the afternoon after eating cold melons. After thinking about Yuantang for a while, they realized that Feng Cong was indeed very smart. He memorized many books after reading them. Well, it looks like two different people who refuse to sit upright in peacetime.

King Huan's instructions should not be limited to writing. Yuan Tang did not have the opportunity to practice in the barracks, so he could only work hard from the book of war first.

King Huan's notes also recorded a lot of what he saw on the march. Yuan Tang compared the art of war, annotations, notes, and maps, and asked Feng Cong if he didn't understand.

Asking Yuantang, he was surprised: "Have you read Your Majesty's book of war?" Feng Cong even knew what annotations King Huan wrote on which pages.

Feng Cong said: "When I was young, I walked into my uncle's study to read it."

The two looked at each other, and chatted for a few words from time to time, and soon it was dusk again.

The days spent behind closed doors are particularly leisurely. Yuan Tang and Feng Cong basically live like this every day. They get up in the morning to practice martial arts with Yuan De, run a few laps in Liuxiangju, watch Yuan De and Feng Cong compete, and wait for the sun to rise and the weather to heat up. , Yuan Tang and Feng Cong hid in the hut to read, and took a nap when they were sleepy in the afternoon, and they might read or chat or practice calligraphy in the afternoon.

"Furthermore, those who cannot be defended will attack their emptiness... Therefore, if I want to fight, even though the enemy has a high fortification and a deep ditch, if I have to fight with me, I will save what I attack..." Yuan Tang copied a sentence, and couldn't help muttering, " If you attack him, you must save him...this 'must save'..." He originally wanted to ask Feng Cong, but found that Feng Cong seemed to be asleep on the bamboo couch.

Feng Cong had one leg bent, the other on his knee, his hands were resting behind his head, and half a book was covering his eyes.

Yuan Tang gently walked over to uncover the scroll, closed his eyes and fell asleep, his long eyelashes cast a row of faint shadows under his eyes, the ribbons of his hair were undone, and his black hair flowed to the side of the bed like satin.

He is so good-looking, Yuan Tang thought, and couldn't help but pick up a strand of Feng Cong's hair, and there was a sound of wind behind his ears, Yuan Tang reacted very quickly, and immediately blocked it with his left hand, and saw a shadow attacking his waist and abdomen from the corner of his eye.

Yuan Tang was particularly ticklish, goosebumps immediately appeared on his back, and his right hand slanted out to block, but the opponent did not intend to let him go, and slid from his blocking left hand down his shoulder to his left waist, Yuan Tang's hair exploded. He jumped up, but forgot that he was still half kneeling on the bamboo couch, and lost his balance as soon as the leg that landed on the ground moved.

Feng Cong moved Yuan Tang to the bamboo couch, and the two of them lost their positions instantly, and Yuan Tang was trapped on the couch at the same time.

Feng Cong clamped Yuan Tang's waist and said, "If you attack him, you will save him. Let me ask you, can you save me if I scratch you like this?"

"Hahaha, save hahaha, save me, ouch, you pretended to be asleep and sneaked up on me hahahahaha!" Yuan Tang writhed like a carp jumping out of the water, kicking the soft pillow and thin quilt to the bed.

When Feng Cong let him go, his hair was messed up, he was sweating from laughing, and he was panting heavily.

"You're too bad, you don't tell me when you wake up." Yuan Tang said.

Feng Cong said, "I didn't fall asleep at first, who knows what you're doing here secretly."

Feng Cong also said it casually, but Yuan Tang's thoughts drifted away. Just now when he saw Feng Cong sleeping, he thought he was good-looking and couldn't help it...he didn't know what he was going to do.

"What's wrong?" Feng Cong tied his hair with a hair tie, and found Yuan Tang in a daze, looking sideways at him.

"Ah...it's nothing." Yuan Tang came back to his senses and shook his head, picked up the half-copied book again, and said, "I originally wanted to ask you, how do you judge that the other party will definitely save when you attack him?"

Feng Cong stretched his waist and said casually: "Isn't there another sentence in front of it, 'Those who are invincible, attack their emptiness', weak or vital, just like when I treated you just now, you are ticklish, I attack downward, you I'm sure I won't be able to stand up." As he spoke, Feng Cong gestured to Yuan Tang maliciously.

Yuan Tang laughed until his stomach ached, and felt that Feng Cong's expression was evil, so he took two steps back and moved a little further away from Feng Cong.

Feng Cong said: "The so-called 'cut off the road of food, guard its way back, and attack its monarch.' All three are 'must save'. Transportation is the key. Without food and grass, the army can't go far. There are often two armies fighting against each other. When one side is cut off by the other side, the cut off party either evacuates by itself or flees in a rout. The same is true of "guarding its way back". If the way back is cut off, it will easily cause the army to panic, but sometimes there is no way to retreat and it will arouse murderousness. , there is no way of retreat, and we can only fight to the death. As for "attacking the lord", the army's actions are strict on the outside and empty on the inside, and the rear has to be rescued in an emergency. These are generalities, and it depends on the timing of the specific situation, not necessarily according to the actual situation. Come experience."

Yuan Tang nodded frequently when he heard this, Feng Cong took the book out of his hand, and said, "Don't read it, the art of war doesn't have to be only used in marching. There are thousands of reasons in the book, and you always have to adapt it. See Make you look stupid."

Yuan Tang admired: "You still know a lot, how do you know so much!"

There are many things that you can understand without reading the book of war. Feng Cong must have been hanging out with Amu and the others in the Shangyun barracks before.

Feng Cong smiled and said, "My aunt is from Su'an, you must have heard of it."

Yuan Tang nodded.

"When we were young, our family lived in A Niang's tribe. The Su'an people rode horses to hunt, and the young people formed an army to fight everywhere. When hunting, it was similar to marching. Many tribes are like this. Children have to learn to ride horses from the time they learn to walk... "There was a little nostalgia in Feng Cong's tone.

This is the first time Feng Cong talked about his time in Beicheng when he was a child. He didn't say much, and then said: "If you have been in the military camp, you will know everything you should know. Little general, you must have rarely gone with your father before. The barracks, so I don’t know anything.”

Speaking of this Yuan Tang, I feel very ashamed. In the original world, he only went to the military camp when he had only military training. It was indeed the first time he was taken to the barracks before.

Yuan Tang coughed twice in embarrassment, and changed the subject.

The sunshine outside made people dizzy, Suwan braved the scorching sun and walked through the drooping flower vines to the front of the study.

As soon as Yuan Tang looked up and saw her, a voice sounded in his heart—here she came.

Su Wan was also sweating from the heat, she politely declined the tea offered by the maid, saying that she was just here to deliver a message, and the Queen Mother asked Feng Cong to have dinner together at the Kangxin Palace at night.

The queen mother only let Feng Cong go alone, and Yuan Tang did not accompany her. After dinner, she waited under the lamp for more than half an hour, when she heard footsteps outside, Feng Cong and a team of servants walked back to Liuxiang Residence in the night.

Feng Cong looked quite normal, seeing Yuan Tang poking his head and looking around, he hooked his hands at him.

Yuan Tang ran out, "How is it?"

Feng Cong asked the waiter to carry the food box into the house, opened it, and there were several plates of iced drinks and snacks inside, and a few waiters brought in a large copper box, put ice cubes in it, and the steaming heat after the sun set was blown away The town retreated.

Yuan Tang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Feng Cong pointed to the food on the table and said, "You eat, the Queen Mother will reward you."

Yuan Tang picked up a bowl of ice cream and swallowed a couple of mouthfuls, then asked, "Is the Queen Mother going to let you out?"

Feng Cong smiled and said, "Pack up your things tomorrow and prepare to go to the palace to escape the heat."

How could you go to the palace to escape the heat? !Yuan Tang was getting hot these days, so he couldn't help cheering, and then took a peek at Feng Cong.

The empress dowager was willing to take Feng Cong to the palace together, so of course all contemplation behind closed doors has become a thing of the past, just like what Shen Jingxuan said before, the empress dowager did not give up her plan to win people's hearts with Feng Cong.

Yuan Tang held the spoon in his mouth, and he didn't feel so happy anymore.

Feng Cong pushed him and said, "Eat yours, don't think too much."

A day later, the fleet headed for the Changgui Palace set off from the capital, along the Yuxiang River, and headed southeast towards Pengwu.Yuan Tang and Feng Cong were on the empress dowager's boat, Shen Jingxuan and the prince's boat, they only had a quick meeting when they set off, and they didn't have time to speak.

There were many great families in the Pengwu generation, and the Wang family's main family was also near Pengwu. When a group of people arrived at Changgui Palace, the emperor was busy receiving various families, and the empress dowager and empress also frequently invited noble ladies and noble ladies into the palace.

The queen mother indulged Feng Cong as before, as if the dispute between Feng Cong and the second prince had never happened in May. When they first arrived at the palace, the queen mother only let Feng Cong stay in the Qingliang Palace where they lived. Later, the queen mother returned home. When I went to Wang's house, I took Feng Cong with me, and the restraint was gradually lifted.

The Empress Dowager lived in the Wang family for a while, and when she returned to the palace, there were two young ladies from the Wang family beside her. Both of them were direct descendants of the Wang family. The younger one is called Wang Yu.Wang Yu was born extremely beautiful, with bright eyes and soft skin, Wang Yu has not yet grown up, and it can be seen that she is a beauty embryo.

Wang Yu was childish, she was a little shy when she first entered the palace, and she didn't get close to anyone, but because Yuan Tang looked young, she called Yuan Tang A Tang A Tang within a few days.

Wang Ai was more stable, and after entering the palace, she often accompanied the queen mother. The queen mother often took Wang Ai to meet people, and sometimes called Feng Cong together.

There were gradually rumors in the palace that the queen mother would marry the daughter of the Wang family to Feng Cong.

However, usually in Qingliang Palace, the Empress Dowager has absolutely no tendency to match two people, and she is extremely cautious about making arrangements for men and women, and behaves in a well-behaved manner.The queen mother didn't show it, maybe she didn't mean it at all, or she didn't want to show it, maybe to prevent Feng Cong from doing something deliberately to sabotage her plan after finding out.

In late June, the emperor visited Wu's ancestral house in Shen Jiapeng, and appointed a brother of Shen Jingxuan's clan as secretary. He didn't give Shen Jingxuan the position, but gave it to Shen Jingxuan's clan brother.

The Empress Dowager spent the summer in the Near Moon Pavilion of the Qingliang Hall. There were ice trays in the room, and there were lychees from Lingnan. The Queen Mother called all the children to the Near Moon Pavilion.

The 12-year-old Wang Yu tugged at Yuan Tang's sleeve, and excitedly stuffed a bright red lychee into Yuan Tang's hand, while Wang Yu sat beside the Queen Mother, placing the peeled fruit pulp on the small dish in front of the Queen Mother with her slender fingers.

Tao Neishi told the news from the Shen family, the Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows lightly, and gave an unintelligible "hmm".

Yuan Tang didn't quite understand, it wasn't that the emperor didn't like the Shen family, why he let the members of the Shen family enter the Secretary's Department at this time, two of Shen Jingxuan's generation had already entered the court.

Tao Neishi said next to the Queen Mother: "Shen Jingyan is the grandson of Shen Shangshu. When Shen Shangshu was still alive, the relationship between the two families of the Shen family was relatively peaceful. I heard that the descendants of Shen Shangshu had a long-standing relationship with Shen Sheren. dissatisfied."

The queen mother nodded lightly after listening

Tao Neishi said: "Of course Shen Sheren is a leader of the Shen family's generation, but Shen Jingyan is also a grandson. Wouldn't the Shen family violate the agreement with the Wang family by letting him enter the Secretary's Department at this time?"

The Empress Dowager ate some of the crystal-clear flesh with a small stick, and said with a faint smile: "Nowadays, the sons of the family are officials, and the family must use all their resources to support them. Their Shen family is such a big family, it is unlikely that there can only be one Shen Jingxuan."

Tao Neishi hesitated: "Then the Shen family is..."

The Empress Dowager chuckled and said: "It is the Shen family's style not to stick to one faction, not to let one room stand alone, and it is also the way of their family's survival. Our royal family has to learn from them. The emperor thinks Well done, the two families restrained each other, virtually divided the Shen family."

In fact, the emperor's promotion of Shen Jingyan at this time not only divided the Shen family, but also divided the alliance between the Wang family and the Shen family.

"It's just that his vision of seeing people is still too bad, how can Shen Jingyan compare with Shen Jingxuan." The Queen Mother commented as if watching from the sidelines.

The Empress Dowager could say this, but the others could not, and Tao Neishi silently stepped aside.
