Chapter 198 Yi Ran Pavilion

Early the next morning, Li Haoran asked someone to invite Guo Jing.

Unexpectedly, early in the morning, Zhou Botong actually came with Ying Gu with dew on his head. Li Haoran was surprised and helpless. The old boy's wedding date was already scheduled for the Dragon Boat Festival in May. I never expected that this guy would return to Xiangyang with Qiu Chuji on his back.[]

Li Haoran was helpless because Zhou Botong Xiangyang was more fun than Zhongnan Mountain. He also said that he would wait until the wedding date was approaching and go to Zhongnan Mountain with Li Haoran and the others. He was facing his major life events. He treated this way, but he was definitely unprecedented.

So powerful, Li Haoran has nothing to say except worship and admire.

After much persuasion, he finally coaxed Zhou Botong away. Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This time, he suddenly felt that it was really difficult to coax someone.

...

The rising sun shines, warming the entire earth, and the mist that is as poetic as a dream has faded away. Last night, the stars and moon in the blue sky also disappeared without a trace under the gorgeous sunlight.

In the Yangxin Lake in Li’s Mansion, on the island in the middle of the lake, and in the Yiran Pavilion.

Guo Jing, Li Tingzhi, Li Haoran and Yang Guo were sitting on the stone bench.

In the morning of spring, what is the coldness on the stone?

The four of them seemed to have no feelings. Guo Jing, Li Haoran, and Yang Guo were the most popular figures in the martial arts world. They had already reached the state of inseparable cold and heat. As for Li Tingzhi, they were the white jade pillars of Qingtian in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, both civil and military. Now, with the guidance of Yang Guo and others, although they could not reach the first-class level, their martial arts were by no means comparable to him in history. Therefore, it was impossible to defeat him by the cold.

At this moment, the three of them were staring at Li Haoran and fiddling with the tea set. After watching for a while, Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you are the only one in the world who uses the true energy of the inner family to make tea. But this is a waste of the martial arts he has practiced hard."

It turned out that Li Haoran held the teapot in his palm and used the pure yang true energy to cook tea. The strong fragrance of tea was everywhere, which made people want to get drunk when they smelled it.

When Li Haoran heard Guo Jing's words, he didn't care. Many martial arts masters Zhenruo's true qi was not obtained after a lot of hardships. Not to mention that after he opened the Ren and Du meridians, the true qi continued to flow. What's important is that he found the best way to practice, that is, the joint practice of husband and wife. This technique is not only comfortable, but also, during the process of performing the technique, the two people who share the origin of life, reaching the state of harmony between yin and yin and harmony between heaven and earth. They only need to practice together for one day to compare with others for about three to five days. Therefore, true qi is not a very luxurious thing for Li Haoran.

After filling the four cups with fragrant tea, Li Haoran smiled and said, "If the true energy is full, it will overflow, and it is a waste to be empty. It is better to use it in the place where it should be used!"

Li Tingzhi didn't care about these things. He was only concerned about military training. Li Haoran's words yesterday made him sleepless all night. At this moment, he was drinking fragrant tea with two panda eyes and said, "Second brother, now there are only Guo Daxia and our brothers. You should tell me your military training skills, right?"

After a night of deep thought, Li Haoran had a relatively systematic idea. He put down the teacup and said, "I know a little about commanding and training troops. But in front of Guo Daxia, who has the 'Wu Mu suicide note', he is just showing off his skills."

None of the three of them spoke, and they knew that Li Haoran must have something to say. Sure enough, Li Haoran said again: "A few days ago, I mentioned the theory of special operations to Guo Daxia. Although the ability has been improved by the use of the soldiers, they are still far from the special forces in my mind. What I want to say today is to improve and supplement the tactics I mentioned."

The last time, Li Haoran's method really greatly improved the combat power of the army, which has been reflected in guerrilla warfare. Since he said bluntly that it was a perfect and supplement to the last time, it must be even more powerful than before. So, all three of them showed Xi Weigong's statement.

"The army is not a whole piece, but consists of many individuals. Each person has their own resistance in every aspect. Even the least important person can cause obstacles or even chaos to the entire army. Moreover, the dangers brought by war and the fatigue it requires people to endure will greatly increase the resistance. These terrible resistances are not concentrated on a few points, but are in occasional contact everywhere and will cause some phenomena that are simply unpredictable. Regarding the commander, I think that in addition to experience and strong will, an excellent commander must also have some extraordinary spiritual qualities, such as adapting to changes, being brave to bear, solving problems immediately after discovering problems, etc. The commander must also have the most important spirit, that is, the commander needs to have the courage to be unbearable in the outside king's order, and only in this way can he not miss the fighter."

Although Li Haoran's statement is relatively novel, the truth is very simple.

Guo Jing, Li Tingzhi, and Yang Guo are all people who have experienced wars and agree with his statements in their hearts, especially the commander's ability to adapt to changes is highly recognized by them.

The battlefield changes rapidly, and before the results come out, no one can predict what the next moment will be like, so it becomes very important for the commander to respond to the enemy.

Seeing that his views were recognized by Optimus Prime in the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Haoran became more and more promising and continued: "In my eyes, an excellent commander does not depend on how great his achievements are, nor on how many enemies his army killed, but on how many brothers he brought back in a fierce battle. Simply put, the most basic requirements of war are only two points. First, it is to try to eliminate the enemy's vitality in the battlefield; second, it is to avoid excessive casualties on one side, and I don't like the practice of killing ten thousand enemies and losing 8,000 to himself. When it reaches this point, I will survive.

No matter how many merits the person comes, it is not advisable, because the black hat on his head is filled with the blood of his brothers, and the merits accumulated by the corpses of his brothers are not considered a true hero. Therefore, I think this kind of miserable victory cannot be considered a victory at all. I personally think that an excellent commander does not lie in how compassionate he is in his subordinates, nor in what future he can find for his subordinates, but in the fact that he can return triumphantly with his brothers after defeating the enemy. An excellent commander is that he exchanges the minimum casualties for the greatest benefit."

Li Tingzhi has not experienced a great war yet, nor is it the Mongols' great enemy of life and death that they want to get rid of. Many of their thoughts are still stuck in the military books. After hearing Li Haoran's views, he suddenly realized that he was a smart person who knew that the city could be rebuilt when it was broken, but that the people were gone and the elites of a hundred battles were gone, and everything would be lost.

Guo Jing had a deeper understanding of these words. War was cruel. Before the war, there were probably only two or three thousand living soldiers who could come back alive from the battlefield. More lives would bury the bones and sand and throw them away the wilderness. Guo Jing assisted the court in guarding Xiangyang for many years. He was most qualified to explain this issue. In the war he experienced, he had tried his best to protect the lives of his comrades, but even if he tried his best, there were still very few who came back alive. How could he take the comrades out? However, he had always wanted to give them safely to their relatives. However, he could not do it. Whenever he looked at the relatives of the martyrs who were crying and indulging in pain, his heart was bleeding, and he would spend that time in pain.

"It is difficult and difficult to do this. Since our infantry will never change its natural disadvantages, why don't we do it? Why do we have to fight for the moment and sacrifice many soldiers of war in vain? Therefore, I personally think that more often, we must take a unique path and change our current disadvantages. At this time, the special combat theory I mentioned can come in handy." Li Haoran was a little dry. He took a sip of tea and said: "On the battlefield, especially when the two armies are confronting each other on a large scale, in order to achieve his own goals, we must use alternative means to change the current adverse situation to change the deadlock."

"A alternative method?" The three of them were a little dazed. Li Tingzhi asked first: "Second brother, can you say more in detail?"

Li Haoran was sweating, and he smiled and said, "The so-called alternative means include burning food and grass, cutting off enemy reinforcements, and beheading operations. This beheading operation is to sneak into the enemy's camp and kill important figures such as the enemy's commander and military advisor. It will then disrupt the other party's deployment and create favorable opportunities for the army."

"How is this possible? The enemy commander is strictly guarded, and the patrol soldiers are constantly waiting. It is a bit of a dream to take his head on the battlefield." Guo Jing is a straightforward person. He can't hide his words in his heart, regardless of whether he offended people or not, because even with his ability, he wants to learn from Zhao Zilong of Changshan and take the head of the general among the troops. This is tantamount to dreaming.

Li Haoran smiled. He didn't mind Guo Jing's words. His ideas almost subverted their cognition. It is normal for him to have this question. Looking at Li Tingzhi and Yang Guo, who have the same expression, he smiled and said, "There is nothing impossible in this world. In ancient times, people sighed, but the big ships are floating on the sea now. You have to do everything to know the result. Only when a person thinks about others and does not dare to do others can he achieve the greatest success. Our thunder is the best example. The reason why thunder is successful is to break our blindly sticking to our thoughts and be brave to innovate can we move forward. Being committed to the rules is tantamount to waiting for death. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Only by trying it can we know whether this road is easy. There is no road in the world. As long as someone walks through it, even the barren mountains are the road."

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth..." The three of them silently thought, their intuition and vision were wide open. Yes! There is no road in the world. As long as someone walks through it, even the barren mountains are roads. Only by trying a thought can you know whether it can be true.

"In my mind, special operations forces must not only do this, but also do more, such as rescue hostages, spying on intelligence, and using various means to strike and destroy the enemy's will, or force the enemy to abandon its original plan, etc."

Yang Guo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Second brother, why do I become more and more mysterious as I hear it? Am I too stupid or what?"

Li Tingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I can't hear it even if I don't talk about my third brother. I need to know that the strategy of the war is almost impossible to change. How can a mere small force change the will of the enemy commander?"

Li Haoran was helpless. The ancients were actually very smart, but they did not summarize the various means of success. Perhaps they were disdainful to learn the way they thought was cruel. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "That is because you didn't think deeply. As long as you are a human, there are flaws. People are like martial arts. No matter how perfect your moves are, there are flaws. There are no flaws. It's just that the user is good at hiding. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's first military advisor was Xu Shu. This man was very powerful. He easily broke Cao Ren's eight-door golden lock formation.

He was deeply jealous of Cao Cao, so Cheng Yu used a trick to deceive his mother, which made him helpless and had to return to Cao. Although he did not offer any tricks for Cao Hou, for Liu Bei, what he lost was not just a talent, but even the foundation. Because after Xu Shu left, Cao Cao's army attacked, Liu Bei had no choice but to give up the Xinye that had been working hard for many years. In this story, Xu Shu's flaw was his mother. Cao Cao found his flaw, so he had to leave. Do you think this is an alternative method? Is it a successful special combat method?"

Li Tingzhi and Yang Guo seemed to understand something, and hesitated to him, but Guo Jing hesitated: "Brother Li, isn't such a method too despicable? This is not suitable for our Song Dynasty's benevolence and righteousness."

Li Haoran smiled bitterly and said after a long time, "Both sides use all their best. For the final result, the soldiers are ingenious. The process is not important, and the result is the most important. Take the moment, Mongolian soldiers are millions and tigers look at Jiangnan. Have you ever thought that once the iron cavalry goes south, how many people will be displaced and how many lives will be killed? So, in my opinion, as long as they can attack enemy soldiers, force them away, and kill the talented people on the other side is nothing. Whoever lets them provoke us first, will our people not be human? Why do we need to talk about benevolence and righteousness to a group of wolves? Will they talk about benevolence and righteousness in the war? No, they will use the heads of the people to seek credit, so they will not pity us. On the battlefield, there is only you who live and die, and there is no benevolence and righteousness. Since they trigger a war, they will have to bear our revenge."

Guo Jing was speechless and swallowed for a while and couldn't speak. Although Li Haoran's words were a bit powerful, if you think about it carefully, the truth in it was impossible to refute because he vaguely agreed with Li Haoran's point of view in his heart.

Guo Jing was not ignorant of the example of Duke Xiang of Song's benevolence and righteousness defeating Chu, but the general environment was like this, and he could not change for a while. Many of Li Haoran's words had subverted his cognition and he needed time to disappear.
