2. Li Mu's horn formation

Li Xian and Han Yu are about the same age. Because his father's son Yin already has an official position, this time he came to the school. His father told him that you should not be ignorant in the future and send you to the Taofen Academy in Xingyuan for two or three years to practice. Don't achieve anything after you come back.

Li Xun was just a teenager who was just fifteen years old and was vigorous and vigorous.

As for Gao Jing, he was even younger, only seven years old, and he was still horned, following his two elder brothers.

However, in ancient times, there were no restrictions on admission grades, so there were large age differences, but there were many people with friendship among classmates.

Seeing Da Yin and Xuezheng sitting in the pavilion, the three of them immediately felt solemn and continued to salute.

"Ah Father." Gao couldn't help but shouted this.

"Hmm?" Gao Yue touched his beard with a stern attitude.

"No, no, Da Yin." Although Gao Jing was young, his mind was spinning very quickly.

Gao Yue nodded and asked Li Xian and Li Su if he was so far away from home, did he miss his parents?

The two of them replied that although they wanted to be gentle the day and night before their parents, they must not miss home in order to improve their studies, otherwise they would give up halfway and be severely punished by their father and would have no face to return to the capital.

Gao Yue smiled and then said to Jing'er, you should take the two elder brothers as role models.

Then Gao Yue asked again, what are you three coming to Xiyuan for?

The three of them looked at each other, a little funny and a little scared.

"It's okay, it's okay, Taofen's academic palace is full of both. Not only should you learn scriptures, military techniques, calculations, and laws. Not only that, you should also practice walking, throwing stones, reaching distances, and strengthening your body. Therefore, it is necessary to combine work and rest." Gao Yue said Wenyan.

Only then did Li Xu become bolder. He walked to the inconspicuous corner next to the pavilion. Gao Yue saw a willow tree there, with a pile of fallen leaves and soil in it. After Li Xu swept the fallen leaves with his hands, Gao Yue then saw that there was actually a small "former" hidden in the moment.

"It's worthy of being from Li Linggong's family. Sun Tzu's magic tricks in the art of war are very well grasped." Gao Yue said, and then approached and saw that the formation was very delicate and small:

These three people wove the reeds into chariots, and there are four small wheels under them, which are lifelike.

When Gao Yue saw this, he was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but remember the scene where he and a group of slum friends used reeds to make ox carts and sailboats, and then held a "poverty-sending ceremony" in the five rooms in the capital.

Gao Yue counted and found that there were eighteen small chariots, in pairs, nine pairs in total, and they were arranged in the shape of geese wings.

"Da Yin, what exactly is the 'corner' we are talking about in Zuo Zhuan and Sima Fa?"

“Isn’t there any teaching in the academy?”

Li Xian and Li Xu smiled, roughly meaning that although Zuo Zhuan was also listed as a scripture in the academy, they only explored the meaning of the text, and all the things related to battle were vague, which was difficult to satisfy them.

"Oh, then what do you gain?" Gao Yue became interested.

"When the Zuo Zhuan talked about the Battle of Bi, it was recorded that the Lebo bicycle in Chu State challenged the Jin State, 'The Jin people chased it, and left and right corners, Lebo shot the horse on the left and right and the horns could not enter.' From this, it can be seen that the horns were divided into left and right, one was called the main car and the other was called the auxiliary car, which meant that the two soldiers were horns and the horns were horns. The Jin people used one corner and two cars to attack the Lebo bicycle on the left and the Lebo bicycle. Lebo shot the four horses of the Jin people to the left and the archers of the Jin people to the right."

"Why do you shoot a horse on the left and a man on the right?" Gao Yue continued to ask.

Gao Jing squatted on the ground and held his chin, watching and listening attentively.

"In the Book of Songs, Qin Feng once said, 'The Duke said it was left, and if you want to get it, you will get it.' When hunting a chariot, you need to rotate the carriage to the right, and shoot the bow to the prey with the left. The same is true for the enemy on the battlefield. My brothers once followed my father to hunt in the suburbs of Beijing. He knew that whether he was riding a car or riding a horse, he could only shoot the widest range of the shooting. If the chariot was not on the left but on the right, the vision was narrow. If he was in the middle, he would easily shoot the four horses that were running (not shooting from behind). Therefore, Le Bo was in the position of the 'left carriage', and the horns that the Jin people chased from behind, he would naturally look back, shoot the Jin horse on the left, and shoot the Jin people on the right."

Gao Yue nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the eighteen soldiers on the ground, and asked, "Why are eighteen cars? They are arranged in geese wings?"

"Sima Fali said that two chariots are one corner, nine chariots are small chariots, and left and right are combined, and there are eighteen small chariots, and fifteen chariots are centered. Therefore, Zuo Zhuan called Chu Jun's imperial guards, 'Chu Zi was thirty chariots, divided into left and right' (left and left and right, is the name of the imperial guards of the King of Chu), which shows that the King of Chu implemented the central chariot system. Both books also said that when fighting, you must have 'no dry chariots', 'not shooting from behind', 'no tracks', and 'running and not crossing the chariots', which means that the chariots must fight in a horn-shaped, long oblique arrays of geese wings are not on a horizontal line, and the formation is actually infantry. In this way, each carriage can shoot the enemy side to the left, so that they will not interfere with each other, and will not accidentally hurt friendly forces, which is the most beneficial to chase and die to the north."

"Well, but this Tang Jia Gongyan's commentary means that the surrendered person does not kill, the running person cannot help but kill (the surrendered person does not kill, the escaped person does not chase, the back is not killed, the back is not killed); the 'not shooting back' means that the 'not shooting again after the first miss' (after the first miss, don't shoot the second one), which is very different from you two, how about it?"

Originally, Li Xian and Li Xu wanted to say: "Jia Gongyan is a corrupt scholar doctor, and he can only use etiquette and law to explain war randomly. How can he do the escaped enemies not kill?" But when he saw that Dr. Su was still standing in the pavilion, he became wise and said: "Dr. Jia talks about the principle of both benevolence and power, and his focus is naturally different from the background of a warrior such as us."

At this time, Gao Yue burst into laughter and told Li Xian that you don’t have to be in the school anymore.

Li Xian was a little panicked. This means that Gao Dayin wanted to give up on me because I accused the textbooks?

Gao Yue then said, "You will go to the capital with me, and then I will ask the Holy Lord to let you enter the camp and follow me to fight against the Dangxiang." Isn't that better than staying in the academy?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Xian's eyes glowed and he immediately bowed to thank Gao Yue.

Li Su and Gao on the side were so envious.

Of course, Gao Yue also comforted these two people. After the Party was wiped out, there are other wars that can allow you to participate. Don't be anxious...

After leaving the school, when Gao Yue was riding a horse on the road to the city, Wei Tuotian led the horse in front of him and pointed at several You Yi who were riding his horse under Yuyin and said, "It's probably because there is news in the military palace. Could it be that His Majesty the Holy Lord urged you to enter the capital?"

However, the visitor reported in front of Gao Yue's horse that the newly appointed governor of Fengzhou came to visit the festival.

At this moment, Fangzhen, the states under the jurisdiction of Fangzhen were all "branch counties". The state governor and the Jiedushi were completely related to subordinates and superiors, so the new Fengzhou governor must first come to the military office to pay a visit to the Jiedushi before getting off the car.

"The Governor of Fengzhou, Bai Jigeng..." Gao Yue named him the Governor and read this way.
