The sun hangs in the western sky, casting its last ray of afterglow. The clouds in the sky are not thick, and they are layered on top of each other, changing wonderful colors.

In the courtyard, a banquet had already been held. Wang Xiaolie and Wang Ruohai were the hosts to see off the soldiers who were about to go to Hedong.

The Recruiting Envoy Department built on Hedong Road was headed by Jiang Min, and other officials were also required. After careful consideration, Wang Xiaolie decided not to assign political officials to Jiang Min for the time being. That was the allocation of the regular army, and Hedong was not suitable yet.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, everyone sat down one after another.

Fang Cheng, the deputy ambassador who is about to take office, is also the commander-in-chief of the expedition. Cao Mo, the chief of staff. Zheng Xiaolin, the commander on the left. Ma Qun, the commander on the right. Xiao Tang, the secretary in charge. These people have one thing in common. They are originally

The civilian children all joined the army after Wang Xiao hunted to Xiangyang. Among them, Fang Cheng, Cao Mo and Xiao Tang were originally from Hedong and fled to Dengzhou.

After filling up the wine, Wang Xiaolie raised his glass and said: "You are going to the front line to fight. I'm going to see you off today and drink strong wine specially. I don't like drinking strong wine at first. But it's different in the army.

Only worthy of the bloodshed on the battlefield!"

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

The five of them stood up together, raised their glasses, and drank.

After letting everyone sit down, Wang Xiaolie said: "Sit down, everyone. Your arrival in Hedong is a great event. The establishment of the base area marks that we are about to counterattack, and the situation in Xiangyang has reached a turning point. There is no need to be restrained tonight, let's say

honestly."

After saying that, he poured wine for everyone and offered food to everyone.

Wang Xiaolie is not a person who pays attention to food. As long as the food tastes good, has no peculiar smell, and is in season, it is best. It is autumn now, and the table is full of big fish and meat. Tofu box, chestnut braised chicken, Sixi meatballs, steamed pork ribs, red pork ribs, etc.

Braised mutton, roasted eel, sliced ​​meat in soup, steamed bream, etc., as well as cold lotus root slices, cold cucumber, stir-fried mung bean sprouts, mushrooms and green vegetables and several other vegetarian dishes.

After eating for a while, everyone was a little full and a little drunk. They took away some meat dishes and brought raisins, walnuts, persimmons, broad beans and other snacks. There was a stove next to it, and the soldiers cut the meat and roasted it.

Wang Xiaolie said: "When I first came to Xiangyang, I thought this place was behind enemy lines, and we had to do things the same way as behind enemy lines. I soon discovered that it was not the case. The Jin Army had no intention of occupying the Central Plains, and there were no officials to garrison the vast tracts of land. It took several years.

, peacefully, occupying more than a dozen states and counties. Our army's combat effectiveness is decent, no one around us can fight it. Now, as long as the puppet Qi does not launch a large-scale attack, we are very peaceful here. I will lead the troops in several big battles.

In other places, we went south and north to fight against the Jin army. It has been three years, but our strength is not what it used to be, so we need to think more about it."

Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai means to go north to capture the Luoyang area. There are several difficulties. First, there is Zhai Xing's headquarters in the middle, and Zhai Xing is the prefect of Henan Prefecture. Zhai Xing is a local tycoon in Luoyang, not Li Dutong.

Comparatively, when our army goes north, in Zhai Xing's eyes, it is like a dove occupying a magpie's nest, and there must be many contradictions. Commander Zhai can only discuss this matter slowly with Zhai Xing, and cannot be impatient. Furthermore, Luoyang's geographical location is important.

Occupied by us, the Puppet Qi will cut off its connection with Shaanxi and will inevitably fight to the death. In this case, Hedong Road will be critical."

Fang Chengdao: "As long as you are handsome and have orders, we will fight to the death!"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "Don't be so serious. Let's have a casual chat tonight so that you can understand."

Fang Chengdao: "We soldiers only know how to obey military orders!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "When I go to Hedong Road this time, I just know that listening to military orders is not enough. Because of this, before I leave, I want to talk to you again. Fighting behind enemy lines is completely different from here. You

You have to be mentally prepared for this.”

Wang Ruohai said: "You don't have to be so reserved. Marshal Jie came to you to tell you what you should do when it comes to the difficulties you will encounter after arriving in Hedong. Try to relax and ask if you have any doubts."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The affairs in Hedong are decided by Jiang Min. Jiang Min was originally from Xinyang Town, Mizhou, on Jingdong Road. He followed his father in business and was exiled because the Jin army attacked Kaifeng Prefecture. He met me when he was in Tangzhou.

.It was a pity that he was living among the rivers and lakes after seeing his natural beauty and intelligence. He was brought to the military academy in Xinye. You all know what happened next. What others took several years to learn, he could learn by heart in just a few months. He was unparalleled.

Such talents will not be buried in anyone. But I believe that learning is not just about rote memorization. The most important thing is to see what you learn. When Zhuge Kongming was in Longzhong, Shi Guangyuan, Xu Yuanzhi, and Meng Gongwei traveled with him.

You must be proficient in reading, but Kong Ming only views the roughness. Why? There are not so many reasons. In fact, most of the content in the books we read is useless. There are only a few sentences that are really useful. You can understand it at a glance

For these sentences to be useful, there is no need to be familiar with the book. Different people will see these sentences differently, so just keep them in mind."

Having said this, Wang Ruohai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Among his contemporaries, Wang Ruohai was considered a leader in quick thinking and continuous reading. But compared with Wang Xiaolie's reading, he turned out to be an old man who was looking for chapters and excerpts.

When Wang Xiaolie reads, he rarely reads it all in one sitting. He usually picks it up, flips through it, and then puts it aside. After a while, he accidentally remembers something and flips it over again. However, every time he talks about it, Wang Xiao is usually the one who talks about it.

You can explain the meaning of the book clearly.

Zhuge Liang only looked at the rough outlines of books, and the meaning in "Wei Lue" was that other people who must be proficient in reading were not as good as him. This puzzled future generations, and they came up with many explanations, saying that Zhuge Liang only looked at the rough outlines.

It does not mean lack of proficiency. Some people even say that Zhuge Liang's approach is to be proficient in his skills first.

Are you Zhuge Liang? Are you as smart as Zhuge Liang? You need to be proficient in reading, but Zhuge Liang does not need it. "Wei Lue" makes it very clear that every morning and evening, Zhuge Liang calmly held his knees and roared. He was very calm and did not look like he was studying hard.

.

In fact, most books do not require proficiency. Unless they are novels, poems, etc., which really attract you. In most books, methods such as metaphor, exaggeration, induction, deduction, etc. are not necessary and are completely

You don’t have to read it. The most important part is often just a few sentences. It’s just because it’s difficult for readers to understand that there’s a lot more content. Zhuge Liang doesn’t need these. He only needs to read the conclusion and understand the conclusion. Why should he be proficient? As long as

Just look at its rough outline.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Studying, I have always believed that two things are most important. The first is to learn and know what you are learning. The second is to be able to get out and not be hampered by the knowledge you have learned. Jiang Min is naturally smart.

, tend to have a photographic memory. Others think he is smart, but in my eyes, I don’t know if he has learned it. It was not until later, when he worked under Consultant Wang for several years, that he found that he was indeed doing things meticulously and unmatched by others.

I know he is a talent. Now that he is on Hedong Road, it is not enough to learn in. You must be able to walk out. Can Jiang Min walk out? To be honest, I have no confidence in my heart! So when you go to Hedong, I have to tell you again and again not to

Made things worse."

Fang Cheng and others hurriedly crossed their hands: "I am willing to listen to Commander Ji's teachings!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have nothing to teach you, it's just to make sense. Whether the truth makes sense and whether you can understand it is another matter."

After speaking, he raised his wine glass and Wang Xiaolie drank with everyone.

Putting down his wine glass, Wang Xiaolie said: "Since I came to Xiangyang, I have always said that our army must be rooted in the people, and our political power must also be rooted in the people. I have said it for several years and countless times, and now

Look, how many people understand?"

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Ruohai and sighed slightly.

Even Wang Ruohai who was following Wang Xiaolie was confused, let alone others?

Wang Xiaolie said: "To put it bluntly, it's just that the difficulties we encountered are too great and difficult to explain, so we have to do this. In the past, it was said that the emperor was ordered by heaven to herd the people on behalf of heaven, and the ministers assisted the emperor. But what is heaven? What if?

God is so virtuous, how can he watch his own people suffer? The Jin army's southern invasion not only destroyed Kaifeng Mansion, but also caused the two emperors to hunt north. I don't know how many clans moved north, but also the people? To the north is the Central Plains, which used to be

The most prosperous place in the world. But what about now? How many states and counties are deserted, many wives are scattered, and how many people are left with only a pair of bones! Faced with such a tragic scene, how can God be embarrassed! If God has eyes, how could it happen?

Like this? At this time, no matter what the reason is, God can no longer be relied on, so we have to find destiny ourselves. Where can we find it? The so-called disrespect of etiquette and asking for help from the wild can only be found among the people."

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie watched a full moon rise slowly. The clear, bright, water-like moonlight sprinkled onto the world.

In my previous life, I learned a lot of knowledge, such as productivity and property relations, feudalism and capitalism, and various theories. However, in the end, I found that none of them touched on the most critical point. What is the most critical thing? Everything is for

The masses, everything relies on the masses, comes from the masses, and goes to the masses. Wang Xiaolie changed it and changed the masses to the people.

After all, if there really is heaven and earth in this world, then from now on, earth will replace heaven, and people will replace destiny.

All other knowledge is full of illusions. At least in this era, it is of little use. Human society has never developed according to slave society, feudal society, capitalist society and socialist society. In fact, this line has never appeared.

.If Europe in modern society is freed from divine power, then China is freed from destiny. The new destiny is no longer high above, but in the hearts of the people. As long as you breathe with the people and share the same fate, you will be invincible.

.If you betray the people, you will inevitably fail.

Thinking about it now, most of the previous knowledge is actually useless. It's like waiting for a boat on the river. You have seen thousands of boats but didn't wait for the one.
