"The best military operation is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack his alliances, the next best is to attack his troops, and the worst is to attack his cities."
The Yan Wang army crossed the Daji River and defeated Li Jinglong's remaining troops again, and was approaching the city of Jinan. At this time, Yao Guangxiao came to the army and had a few words with the Yan Wang.
There were not many people around him, all of them were Prince Yan's confidants, and Zhu Gaoxu was among them.
Several riders stood at the foot of Jinan City, watching from a distance of several hundred steps, not daring to approach. The black muzzles of the cannons on the top of the city walls were facing the outside. Jinan was the largest city on the ground in Shandong Province, and it had all kinds of heavy weapons. The towering towers and tall city walls made people feel very depressed.
Yao Guangxiao's voice continued, "The Art of War by Sun Tzu refers to the
First, Sheng Yong led his army to attack the camp outside the city at night, then Tie Xuan pretended to surrender, and the King of Yan also repeatedly sent people to persuade them to surrender... Everything was of no avail, and in the end they could only fight each other in Jinan City separated by a thick and tall city wall.In order to prevent the government troops from going out of the city to counterattack, a fortification was built outside Jinan City, with fences and trenches, which were built out of the range of artillery shells. Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse behind the fence to inspect the battlefield, and resolutely refused to cross the trenches."Kill! Kill..." A huge fire was rising up from the city wall. Many soldiers were holding shields and pushing ladders, shouting as they rushed towards the city wall. The air was filled with thick smoke, including white gunpowder smoke and black smoke from burning kerosene.Rockets flashed in the smoke like fireflies
The King of Yan finally withdrew his troops.As soon as the troops besieging the city withdrew, Li Jinglong immediately received an imperial edict from the capital, summoning him to return to Beijing immediately!...A team of cavalrymen escorted Li Jinglong's carriage as they headed south. Paddy fields gradually appeared on both sides of the post road. The rice in the fields had just been harvested, and bare rice stalks appeared in the turbid water, which was simply lifeless.Perhaps due to the fatigue from the long days of traveling, Li Jinglong in the carriage looked very haggard and had long lost his previous vigor and vitality.His hair was messy, as if a lot of white hair had grown in just a few months, making it look gray. The lining collar of his robe was still exquisitely embroidered, but it was wrinkled around his neck like a used handkerchief.Li Jinglong opened the curtain woven with rushes and saw a solitary white bird flying over the
The autumn in Peking is particularly bleak. The flowers, plants and trees do not change slowly like those in the south. When the autumn wind blows, they will wither and die. When the soldiers and horses enter the city, the wounded are among them, which makes the atmosphere full of murderous flavor.As soon as Zhu Gaoxu returned home, he took off his heavy armor. The arrow marks and damage on it were the marks of his blocking many open and hidden arrows. When he took off his armor, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, as if he had no protection and a little less sense of security... However, if there were "hidden arrows" in Peking, the armor would not be able to stop it, right?He changed into casual clothes, called Wang Gui and others, and went to Prince Yan's Mansion to report his safety to his mother.The double-eaved gatehouse of the Prince of Yan's Palace is very majestic and somewhat similar to the imperial city. The palace was originally rebuilt
Walking out of the small courtyard where Princess Xu lived and out of the wooden door, there was a corridor and a stone path between trees, which Zhu Gaoxu had walked many times.Even when he thought of Xu Miaojin, he would always think of this road. Most of their communication took place on this road."Five or six steps ahead, there is a cracked paving stone and no one has repaired it." Zhu Gaoxu said, breaking the silence.Xu Miaojin didn't say anything. After a while, she looked down and saw a crack on a stone on the ground. She was slightly surprised and turned to look at Zhu Gaoyang. "Prince Gaoyang has a good memory. Are you counting steps?"Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and pointed to a tree with only a few leaves left on the roadside. "That tree looks like a slingshot fork. That's what I thought when I first saw it. This cracked stone is right next to it."Xu Miaojin gave a forced smile, "In ancient times, there was a 'prince who held a bullet
Just after returning to Peking, Princess Xu invited Zhu Gaoxu to have dinner. Zhu Gaoxu declined politely and said he would rest for a few days before going... When he said this, it was originally just an excuse, but within a few days he actually went.I remember that the scenery I saw in Nanjing was so beautiful, but now when Zhu Gaoxu was riding a horse and walking in the city of Peiping, his eyes were full of gray colors. The neighborhoods are also flat and vertical, very monotonous.Only the red walls of Prince Yan's Mansion add a bit of color to the city of Beiping.Zhu Gaoxu entered Prince Yan's Mansion and met Princess Xu first. But Xu Miaojin was beside him, so he didn't ask anything and only talked about some household matters. When it was time to stay in You, Princess Xu asked Zhu Gaoxu for dinner again, and Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the opportunity and agreed.I have never seen Xu Miaojin eat with the Prince of Yan and the Princess, and to
"Ding ding, bang bang..." The sound of metal knocking continued for the whole morning.Zhu Gaoxu walked into a room with a roof over his head and saw a big man with rolled-up sleeves swinging a hammer to forge something, with a charcoal fire burning red beside him. Chen Dachui and two men were also standing in the room. They saw Zhu Gaoxu first and bowed in greeting."Bang!" Another hammer hit the chopping board.Chen Dachui turned around and said, "Zhang Junjiang, the prince is here."The military craftsman then turned around to take a look, put down the hammer, clasped his fists in salute, but said nothing."Is it almost repaired?" Zhu Gaoxu pointed at the heavy armor hanging on the wooden rack.Zhang Junjiang said, "Your Highness, your armor is made of cold-forged Qingtang iron. I couldn't find good material at the moment, so I had to repeatedly forge the material to repair it. It takes a lot of time and it will take at least five days."
Originally, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to ride a horse to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but it suddenly started to rain, so he changed to a felt carriage.The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When he lifted the straw curtain to look, a gust of rain was blown over by the wind and splashed on his face.It was almost dusk, but not yet the evening hour, and the sky and earth were already covered in dark clouds. It seemed like it was still daytime and early in the morning, but suddenly, it seemed like night was about to fall... It was completely unprepared.The rain was drifting in the wind, and from a distance it looked like wisps of white smoke. The vision became blurred, and even the gate tower of Prince Yan's Mansion was dim and could not be seen clearly.A small group of horsemen guarding Zhu Gaoxu, all wearing straw hats and raincoats, were traveling in the rain, which looked mysterious.When the carriage entered the gatehouse, the eunuch stepped forw
People living in the capital city look at Zhongshan Mountain, and are fascinated by the mountains towering in the clouds like a fairyland, and always want to climb the mountain themselves.Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru were no exception. After making an appointment, they climbed up Zhongshan Mountain during their ten-day holiday."Huff, huff..." When Fang Xiaoru climbed up with his back bent, his breathing was like a bellows. He pressed his hands on the ground, as if he was climbing up, and finally straightened up with great difficulty.Xu Huizu took a deep breath and then calmed down. He looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile and said, "Doctor Fang is not feeling well!"Fang Xiaoru waved his hands and almost sat down. He glanced at Xu Huizu and saw that Xu Huizu was standing there straight and tall as if nothing had happened, so he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.After resting for a while, Fang Xiaoru stood on a high place and looked at the entir
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
