Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 183 Wangshenzhou, the best military book in the world! (Two in one)

Goodcon City!
Yuwen Liqian and his group.

The Korean delegation began to set out from the city gate.

After passing Jiakang City, there is no waterway, only the sound of carriages and horses.

The envoys from the four countries will go to Yanjing, to the Prince of Yan's Palace!
August 16!
Ten years later, Prince Yan would come down Mount Zhongnan again and go to the Prince Yan's Mansion, which had been built ten years ago but had never welcomed its real owner.

Six carriages slowly drove through the city gate.

Yuwen Liqian pushed open the horse window of the carriage, and Su Beihai and others followed behind to see her off.

During the four-day stay, her mood was quite complicated!
I also began to have more and more expectations for the King of Yan.

Also traveling with them was a delegation from the Great Chu, and they were accompanied by students from the Bailu Academy, most of whom were world-renowned scholars.

Some Korean students deliberately avoid it. If we were to say which holy place is most revered by Confucian scholars all over the world, it would be the "Bai Lu Academy".

Students who graduated from Bailu Academy naturally believed that they were the orthodox school in the world.

There were also Korean students who went to make friends with him, but most of them were quietly ignored.

Intellectuals have been looking down on each other since ancient times.

Of course there are exceptions!
For example, Zhao Wenxian from South Korea had many students from Da Chu come to make friends with him.

Zhao Wenxian was just a failed scholar in South Korea and had little fame.

Joining the Korean delegation was not welcomed by the students, but unexpectedly in just one day.

This middle-aged scholar who looked a bit shabby had such popularity in Da Chu!
The students also began to call him "Brother Wenxian".

Yuwen Liqian was also a little surprised that this unknown and plain-looking Zhao Wenxian actually had such a reputation.

Just found out by asking!
The military strategy "Wu Zi" written by Zhao Wenxian and the famous general Wu Chengfeng of the Great Chu was widely circulated in the Great Chu.

He was also a highly respected lecturer in Bailu Academy. Later, he left the academy for some reason and returned to his hometown in South Korea.

Wu Chengfeng is a famous general of the Great Chu State, born in the White Deer Academy. The two are both teachers and friends!
Everyone knows Wu Chengfeng, but not Zhao Wenxian!
Yuwen Liqian wrote down his name and planned to recommend him to his father after returning home.

Talents are rare, and we don’t want them to be lost in the dust.

The envoys from Da Chu and Han walked slowly.

With the letter, he could travel freely in Yan area.

This day!
It’s only a hundred miles away from Yanjing.

It is also the last city leading to Yanjing.

It was originally called "Bianluo".

Twenty-six years ago, when he was not yet the Grand Tutor of Prince Yan, he resigned from office to practice Taoism and passed by this city on his way south from Hulao Pass. He originally intended to keep a low profile.

Seeing a child fall into a well, a young man wearing a bamboo hat jumped into the water to rescue him, but his identity was exposed.

People from all over the country gathered in Bianluo again.

The scene was grand. Standing on the city wall, one could see two horses leaving Liangzhou.

Later, the name was changed to "Wangshenzhou!"

After passing Wangshenzhou is Yanjing.

Yuwen Liqian gently opened the car window and her eyes fell on this magnificent city.

Compared with Jiakang City, Wangshenzhou is more majestic and spectacular.

The big cities in the north generally have high and solid walls.

Yuwen Liqian speculated that it might be related to the current war.

There are many weapons in the North!
In front of the big city, there is a river called Liuqing River.

Winding and flowing!
The widest part is 20 to 30 feet wide. Following the flow downstream, you can reach the world-famous Hulao Pass.

Nourished by the river, the banks are shaded by lush green trees.

On both sides of the river bank, several pavilions are built in an orderly manner, providing a place for rest for passers-by.

Several old men sat leisurely in the pavilion, holding fishing rods, waiting for the fish to be caught. Their leisure and freedom made people envious.

The surrounding scenery is even more pleasant!
It's quite comfortable, stop!
Six carriages slowly stopped at the pavilion beside the bridge.

This attracted the attention of the surrounding anglers, who then took no further notice.

There are many business travelers coming and going from Wangshenzhou.

After leaving Jiakang City, the envoys of the two countries had a bumpy journey with few stops.

Some of the horses pulling the carts could no longer run, the big horses were sweating profusely, and some of them collapsed on the ground from exhaustion!
We didn't stop along the way and even missed the post station because we were in a hurry.

It is now noon and the big city is in front of us.

It's okay to take a break.

After the six carriages slowly stopped, a coachman fetched some cold water from the river in front and poured it on the collapsed horses with great concern.

The big yellow-brown horse was panting!
A group of students also got off the carriage, but they didn't pay any attention to the horses.

On the contrary, looking at the pavilion by the river, it is also elegantly decorated and there are fishermen there.

The wind blows, quite cool!
Literary men and poets all like such scenes and come here happily to collect folk songs.

only!
Zhao Wenxian followed the driver in fetching water and poured it on the horse's mane. He rolled up his sleeves and skillfully patted the horse's lower neck to cool it down.

Yuwen Liqian also walked down from the carriage.

The maid got off the carriage and hurriedly called out, "Princess, let's go to the pavilion!"

The envoys from the Great Chu landed early and occupied most of the nearest pavilion.

As if hearing the maid's voice, Yuwen Jixia in the pavilion looked over here.

The Korean scholar, however, felt a little awkward and didn't want to stay with the Chu students, so he walked towards another pavilion, intentionally avoiding them.

It seems very clear!
The people who had just got off the carriage had their eyes suddenly drawn to the front, where they saw a flat area naturally washed out by the water.

Like a small island protruding from the river.

The pavilions and terraces on it are arranged in an orderly manner, occupying a large area and having a unique flavor.

There is a bridge to go up!
This unexpected discovery instantly aroused everyone's curiosity, and they called their friends to explore the island-like flat land.

Yu Wen Li Qian did not move, but an old man came up behind her, it was Du Hui.

Du Hui smiled and said, "Princess, why don't you accompany me for a walk?"

Yu Wen Li Qian naturally did not refuse.

Du Hui walked over to Zhao Wenxian who was still fetching water and said:
"Mr. Wen, why don't you put down the work in your hands and chat with the old man."

The middle-aged scholar holding the bucket bowed solemnly and said:
"Mr. Du, long time no see."

Zhao Wenxian smiled and said, "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful!"

He was of slender figure and somewhat thin, and was wearing a snow-white scholar's robe. He had ordinary facial features and a calm look in his eyes.

"Zhao Wenxian, meet the princess."

Since he had the title of scholar, he did not need to bow, he just bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Zhao, no need to be so polite!"

Yuwen Liqian responded softly. Her voice was gentle, lacking in the royal arrogance.

"Sir, why didn't you introduce me to someone earlier? Instead, Mr. Zhao was buried in Korea for many years."

She didn't expect that her husband Du Hui seemed to know Zhao Wenxian.

Du Hui laughed and said, "I can barely protect myself, how can I care about others?"

"But Wenxian is indeed a man of great talent. When he left the White Deer Academy, there was quite a stir!"

Zhao Wenxian heard this and quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Du, you are too serious. Those are all things of the past."

A hint of surprise appeared on Yuwen Liqian's face. She realized that Zhao Wenxian might have had even more extraordinary experiences in Da Chu.

She knew very well that her husband Du Hui was a strict person who seldom praised others.

When they graduated that year, I wonder how many students wanted to get a compliment from him.

Yuwen Liqian finally got a sentence:
"It's a pity for a woman to be like this!" That was all!
Yu Wen Li Qian was quite angry at the time, but when she thought that her fellow brothers didn't say a word, she felt relieved.

Now, the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him was actually called a "great talent" by the gentleman.

The four of them walked towards the "island" in the river.

The whereabouts of Yuwen Liqian, Du Hui, Zhao Wenxian and their maids attracted the attention of Gongsun Jixia, a member of the Chu State delegation in the pavilion. He seemed to think about it and then slowly withdrew his gaze.

The four people have different identities, but they get along well with each other.

Yuwen Liqian didn't act like a princess, and Zhao Wenxian wasn't reserved either.

Enter the island in the center of the river!
There is a stone tablet in front recording the date of its construction.

The four of them didn’t look much!
There were already quite a few students of Han Chu looking around, and most of them bowed to Yu Wenliqian when they saw him.

But no one joined the four.

As a princess of a country, she is already a real big shot in South Korea, so naturally she would not dare to be presumptuous.

As the four people went deeper into the center of the island, a stone sculpture gradually came into view.

This stone sculpture is carved from white stone and is as tall as a person. It is carefully surrounded by fences, looking solemn and mysterious.

The figure on the stone sculpture is wearing a Taoist robe, standing naturally, holding a book in his hand, with a young face and looking towards the north.

Yuwen Liqian recognized the person carved in the stone sculpture at a glance.

King Yan Lu Chen.

Yuwen Liqian stared at the stone sculpture in front of him, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

She noticed that although the stone sculpture looked similar to the portrait in the Green Gang, the book in its hand was different.

The book in the statue's hand is inscribed with "Military Training Notes" in small characters, not "Governing the North"

Next to the stone sculpture stands a stone tablet, with no words left on the empty surface.

A monument without words!
The island was kept exceptionally clean, with even fallen leaves rarely seen, showing people's respect and awe for this place.

The strange thing is that there seems to be no one guarding it!
Du Hui said:
"There seem to be hundreds of old men fishing around here. Judging from their clothes, they all seem to be from ordinary families. They don't farm, but fish for fun!"

Zhao Wenxian nodded after hearing this and said:
"Yandi is even richer than I imagined."

Zhao Wenxian touched the fence in front of him and said:
"This statue in front of us was probably built spontaneously by the people!"

The maid saw this and said with some doubt:
"Could it be possible that this was built by the governor of this great city to please the King of Yan?"

After hearing this, Du Hui laughed and said:
"Then was the name of this big city in Wangshenzhou changed to please Lu Chen who had resigned from his post?"

The maid was a little confused!
It seems a bit unreasonable to do this for a young guard who gave up his official position.

The maid's heart was filled with confusion about the customs of Yan and dissatisfaction with the King of Yan.

In her opinion, as a maid of a princess, she should be respected in all countries. However, in Yan, she felt treated differently.

Especially when she learned that most women in Yan were ashamed to be maids and could read and write, she became even more disgusted with the King of Yan.

Even keeping maids needed to be reported to the local authorities, and beating, killing, or humiliating them would be a serious crime.

I don’t know why!
It was obviously a good thing, but after the maid saw these items, she felt as if she was looked down upon.

She was obviously the princess's maid, and her status was very different from that of the lowly people in Yan.

Instead of looking at them with envy, the maid saw "pity" in the eyes of the people in Jiakang City.

Anger rose in her heart!
Aren't you the ones who should be pitied?
The main culprit of all this is the King of Yan in Zhongnan Mountain. Some of his policies are extremely foolish and incompetent.

The maid looked at the scroll in Lu Chen's hand on the stone sculpture and muttered in dissatisfaction:
"Even if it was built by ordinary people, it must have been shoddily made. I even got the title of the book wrong. It was called 'Military Training Notes'. I've never heard of it!"

Her tone was full of disdain and contempt.

Zhao Wenxian couldn't help but corrected:

"Miss, that's not right."

"This book is not a bad book, it is the best military book in the world!"

There was a certain seriousness and solemnity in his tone.

The maid was stunned when she heard this, obviously she had never heard of this book.

He wanted to refute, but then he looked at the Confucian scholar who had just attracted the princess's attention and saw the determination in his eyes.

Yu Wen Li Qian also had only a vague understanding of it. What she learned at Bailu Academy were etiquette, music, archery, mathematics and current affairs, and she had little knowledge of books such as military books.

She wondered to herself, could it be that this book had some connection with the King of Yan?

"Could you please enlighten me, Mr. Zhao?"

"The origin of this book!"

Du Hui stroked his beard and said:
"Princess, you may not know that Mr. Wen's attainments in military tactics are extraordinary."

“When he taught the Art of War at the White Deer Academy, he was deeply loved by the students. Every time he gave a lecture, it was packed with people, and even the outside of the academy was crowded with people listening.

"The famous war god Wu Chengfeng of Da Chu was originally a disciple of Wenxian."

Yu Wenli's beautiful eyes moved!
Naturally, everyone has heard of the name of Wu Chengfeng of the Great Chu. He is one of the famous generals in the world and is known as the White-robed God of War.

In the wars between Da Chu and Han, and the war between Da Chu and Han, this man commanded the army many times and won victory with a smaller force.

A rare Confucian general, often praised by scholars!
I didn’t expect that he was this person’s disciple.

He couldn't help but pay more attention to this person!
Zhao Wenxian did not look complacent as he said, "The book 'Military Training Notes' was written by the King of Yan when he was in the Lu family army."

"The book is divided into nine volumes of the main text and six volumes of miscellaneous collections, and the content records in detail the selection of soldiers, the organization of the troops, and the boosting of morale."

“The book contains detailed descriptions of how to form an army, how to train an army, and how to formulate combat strategies.

"When I finished reading this book, the Lu family army was still fighting Beifeng, and I concluded that Tuoba Shuyi would definitely lose!"

The battle between Lu's army and Bei Feng was really exaggerated.

What eight thousand breaks one hundred thousand?

It seems that they have all become "wild history" and cannot be investigated!
Yuwen Liqian asked:
"Why is this?"

Zhao Wenxian said with some admiration: "I really can't think of anyone who can write this book. Who in the world can surpass him?"

Some surprising answers!
Yuwen Liqian suddenly had an idea and asked leisurely:

"According to Mr. Zhao, if South Korea and Yan go to war, how will the war unfold?"

After hearing this, Du Hui also became interested.

After all, the White Horse Covenant is about to end, and there may be turmoil in the world, and a war is about to break out.

The White Horse Covenant is about to end, and the world may be ushered in a war.

Zhao Wenxian pondered for a moment, his eyes sweeping across the silent statue.

At first he nodded, then shook his head, and finally sighed without uttering a word.

The maid was a little impatient and said complacently:
"There is no doubt that South Korea will win. Our country is strong, our people are prosperous, and we already have 800,000 soldiers ready to fight. Why should we be afraid of just Yan? Even Qian Yuan is not afraid."

Zhao Wenxian seemed not to have heard it and did not comment.

His eyes gradually dimmed, and he suddenly turned around, said goodbye and left.

Yuwen Liqian looked at the direction where Zhao Wenxian left, her heart full of doubts.

Departing suddenly!
Seeing this, Du Hui comforted him with kind words:

"Li Qian, don't blame him. He has his own difficulties in his heart."

The way he addressed Yuwen Liqian had quietly become more intimate.

Du Hui said: "There is a hidden secret that few people know about!"

Du Hui narrated slowly:

"In the past, when Wenxian wanted to bid farewell to Bailu Academy and return to Korea, he encountered many obstacles. Especially Wu Chengfeng, who was already a general, wrote a memorial to the emperor, praising his talent."

"One man can be as powerful as a hundred thousand soldiers. If we allow him to return to Han, it will surely bring endless dangers to the State of Chu."

"In the end, he was forced to promise that he would not say a word or offer any advice for the rest of his life after returning to his country. Only with the guarantee of Bailu Academy did he allow him to return to Korea."
