He muttered, "Humph, I'm not someone who hasn't read The Art of War. Who wouldn't know that food and grass should go first?"

Lin Jiuxi raised her head. She still didn't believe it. This guy refused to admit defeat, right?

"Since Mr. Ouyang has also read The Art of War, I would like to ask you a question. What is the most important thing in the art of war?"

"This..." Ouyang Che opened his mouth but could not say anything. He was also a person who had read the Art of War thoroughly. He had read the troop deployment and gun training several times, which had nothing to do with a weak scholar like him.

So he always regarded it as a treasure, and every word was important. But if you ask him what is the most important thing, Ouyang Che can't say it.

Lin Jiuxi waited for him for a while, but saw that he couldn't speak.

Then he said: "Since you can't tell it, then I will tell you."

Ouyang Che agreed with Lin Jiuxi's views several times, thinking that she had broadened his thinking and praised her several times.

Nangong Jing looked at Lin Jiuxi, and there was some sweetness in both of their eyes.

These local tyrants used extremely low-priced grain in normal years to exchange for a large amount of land. However, with only three or five buckets of aged grain, they could buy a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to take home as a slave.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters almost wiped out the people's crops. In this desperate situation where they could not survive, the imperial court opened the granaries, but the granaries were plundered by the people and did not reach the people at all. Some hamsters, however, were richer than the others.

"This may be a bit difficult..." Ouyang Che said.

Not only Ouyang Che, Nangong Jing also felt refreshed when he heard this.

Ouyang Che was already convinced in his heart, knowing that Lin Jiuxi was indeed talented and learned, and was different from those reclusive girls he had thought she was.

However, winning the battle is not an easy task.

Ouyang Che was a fool. He dared to express his dissatisfaction when he knew her identity, and he was not even afraid of Nangong Jing. Now he apologized readily and praised people in a very pleasant way.

Today's Hezhou can be said to be in chaos.

Her talent, knowledge, and bearing are beyond the reach of many men.

Nangong Jing laughed and asked, "Ouyang, you are really a strange person. You know she is my princess, so why do you call her Miss Lin? You should call her Madam Nangong."

The Art of War by Sun Tzu is a model of military books, and it can be said that any literate general has read this book. However, they may have a vague idea of ​​what Lin Jiuxi said in their minds, but it is rare to express it so clearly.

It was difficult for such a person to survive, so how could we expect him to manage a state? The emperor was so suspicious that he dared to grant Hezhou to Nangong Xuan because he knew clearly that Prince Ping'an would not live long and could not manage things.

"Second: Win first, then fight. This comes from the third chapter, "Military Formation". If we can't win, then don't fight. If we fight, we must win! We are not only leading our own lives, but also so many people, so many civilian soldiers who believe in us. If we want to start a war, we must not lose."

Nangong Jing was also happy to hear this. He liked Lin Jiuxi not only because she was the princess, but also because he was deeply impressed by her charm.

If the people wanted to survive, they could only sell their land at a low price, or even sell their children, and then buy food from the landlords at a high price.

She was even generous in giving advice and her tone was gentle, which was really rare.

For a while, the common people had almost no chance to survive except to sell all their belongings. However, the local tyrants took this opportunity to buy a large number of slaves and became wealthy gentry.

She hooked her finger again and held out three fingers: "Third: Attack others but not be attacked by others. We must seize the initiative. Whether attacking or defending, we must not let the other side lead us by the nose."

The prince in charge of Hezhou, Prince Ping'an, was a sickly child when he was a child in Kyoto. The image of a medicine jar is more deeply rooted in people's hearts than Nangong Jing. Nangong Jing was just coughing up blood at the slightest provocation, while Prince Ping'an, Nangong Xuan, never got out of the sedan chair, his face was always pale and bloodless, and he spoke weakly.

Ouyang Che apologized with a submissive look on his face: "Ms. Lin is indeed very talented, and I am no match for her. I hope my words may have offended you, Miss Lin, please don't mind."

After the common people were harvested, the big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimp. The richer people oppressed the small landlords. Anyway, they now had money and food, and they also had a large number of thugs under their control.

Nangong Jing also nodded with him and shared the same opinion.

They even disobeyed the emperor's orders and the government's orders. They just kept building beams and enclosing land, truly becoming the kings of the mountain and the local tyrants of the mountain.

Ouyang Che shook his head and said, "My Lord, although she is your princess, she is more than just your princess. Miss Lin's glory lies beyond the title of princess."

Fortunately, Nangong Jing also knew that he was really praising people and had no ulterior motives. Although he felt a little jealous, he just smiled helplessly.

Nangong Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of sharing the honor.

Now this charm is discovered by other men and respected equally.

Lin Jiuxi raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "This is also the reason why a king or a general must be cautious."

The two sides reached a consensus, and when they looked at the map again and talked about it, there was less harshness in their words.

If you can't manage things, it's naturally impossible to show kindness to the people.

"There are three most important things in The Art of War. The first is: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. This is from the Offensive Strategy. To plan and win a battle thousands of miles away is to understand the information, weigh and examine it, and make judgments."

"Things change rapidly on the battlefield, and there are many factors that affect victory in a war. These are just the three most basic, but also the most important. If Mr. Ouyang is interested, we can continue to discuss it." Lin Jiuxi said in a friendly manner.

In that case, the emperor was willing to gain a good reputation by handing over the most fertile state to his sickest brother.

Nangong Xuan couldn't control the situation and couldn't manage things. Naturally, the power was divided among his subordinates. They didn't think that the world had much to do with them, and they didn't have any sense of responsibility towards the people.

All they want is wealth and glory.

If Nangong Xuan had a tougher personality, he might have been able to use fame and fortune to keep them hooked. But Nangong Xuan was just barely surviving. So they let go of their greed and desires. Fame and fame were nothing compared to a night of spring, flowers and wine.

Whether the red building rises or falls, it is better than the person who has never lived in the red building.
