In Jinyang City, Lu Ning lived a life like a god. He played with his children at home all day, and naturally played with his wives at night and presented his public food. He ignored the war and was completely a hand-off manager. Of course, the civil and military officials under Lu Ning were indeed busy, and Guo Jia and others were busy commanding and planning the wars of various armies, closely following the information and situations of all aspects.

When he was free, Lu Ning brought his adopted son Lu Xun and said to him: "Xun'er, you are thirteen and fourteen years old now and have read a lot of books. I heard that your academic performance is quite excellent and you are well-known in school."

After hearing this, Lu Xun said blushingly: "The adoptive father has been awarded the award. Many of the students in the school are very talented and everyone works hard. I am just like everyone else. I am an ordinary student. In the future, I have to rely on the adoptive father to discipline him more."

Lu Ning looked at Lu Xun and saw that he was humble and studious, and he did look like a good person. He was very happy. "Xun'er, the teacher in the school was very excellent. In terms of military strategy, Feng Xiao, Zi Tai, Zhengping, Yuan Hao, Zi Jing, Mr. Lu, Mr. Huang, etc. are all peerless experts who are difficult to find in the world. They are unparalleled in their studies. Each of them has their own characteristics and unique features. You should study from them well, especially their strengths and strengths. Of course, various military books should be read in large quantities, and battle examples in various periods are even more essential. You should study carefully, summarize the advantages and disadvantages, absorb the essence from them, and enrich yourself. But don't lose your own characteristics, learn and use them, don't read books, and read them flexibly and adapt. When reading, you should think more and ask more why."

Lu Xun nodded and replied, "Entertainment Father, I will continue to study hard and always remember your words."

Lu Ning said: "Xun'er, in terms of leading troops, you must learn from generals such as Xiang Zilong, Junyi, Wenyuan, Gongming, Ziming, Zijing, Gan Ning. Each of them has a set of methods to lead troops. Each of them has different characteristics and methods of leading troops. You need to study and analyze more. Ziming is very good at training soldiers. He is the best master in our army. Even if you look at the world, few people can surpass him in training soldiers. This is your role model. Of course, in terms of internal affairs and literature, you must also learn from Youning, Mr. Cai, Mr. Lu, Yuan Tan and others. And you must also learn from Deheng and others about the characteristics and performance of various weapons and equipment, which will be of great effect to your future development."

After hearing this, Lu Xun was puzzled. Do I need to learn so many things? When I was still serious, he replied: "It's the adoptive father."

Lu Ning said earnestly: "Xun'er, I hope that when you grow up, you will not only be an outstanding strategist, but also a very outstanding general, so that you can lead troops to fight and give advice. Of course, you must also be able to train soldiers, command, control, and motivate soldiers, and even learn to handle internal affairs, coordinate various relationships, and achieve a true all-round coach."

Lu Xun said: "Entertainment Father, I will work hard in this regard. I will do my best to learn well and never let my adoptive father down."

Lu Ning said patiently: "Xun'er, I can't teach you anything. The men in your school are a hundred times better than me. I can only teach you two methods. One is logical reasoning. When dealing with and analyzing any problems, you need to add more reasoning and repeatedly reasoning. There is no perfect military strategy in the world, and there are no perfect strategies. Any strategy has weaknesses and blind spots. It is just that in terms of application, you have to make a work based on the characteristics, characteristics, shortcomings, space and time of your opponent. This requires a lot of reasoning and calculation, think about each step clearly, and make plans for various unexpected situations to solve the best results and

Think clearly about the worst outcome and finally weigh the pros and cons. Second, you must learn dialectical and look at everything dialectically, and you cannot just listen to it. Consider problems not only from your own perspective, but also from the perspective of your opponent, and analyze and study the opponent. What will happen if you have any methods and strategies so that you can make fewer mistakes, more grasp, and more chances of winning. As for the various books in my study, if you are interested, you can also read more, which will also be beneficial to you. In addition, you must be careful, never be bound by rules and regulations such as books, traditions, customs, etc., and dare to innovate boldly."

Later, Lu Ning exchanged a lot of things with Lu Xun, but most of them were the views and ideas of later generations. He also told Lu Xun that some classic battle examples and means from later generations were the goal, and that the goal was to obtain the greatest victory at the least cost. He should learn to use long-range weapons to attack the enemy, minimize close contact, close combat, and give full play to the powerful role of snipers. If possible, kill the enemy's commander as soon as possible.

Just as Lu Ning and Lu Xun were talking, Guo Jia and Tian Chou hurried over. After seeing the two of them, Lu Ning knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, with their steady personality, even if they were too dissatisfied, they would remain calm and as peaceful as Mount Tai.

When Lu Xun saw Guo Jia and Tian Chou came, he immediately stood up and poured tea for the two of them and gave up his seat. After they sat down, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Fengxiao, Zitai, you two drink water first and take a breath. It's no big deal, the sky cannot fall."

Fengxiao took a sip of water and calmed down his heartbeat. Then he said, "Lord, General Zhang He and Xu Huang respectively mobilized and restrained Cao Cao's army. Cao's army was busy running. Now Cao Cao's 100,000 troops were rushing towards Chenliu. When he arrived, Hao Zhao and Zhang He's army would also leave without a trace. Ziyi and Zhengping's army successfully captured Hulao Pass, Sishui Pass, Luoyang, Hongnong, Hangu Pass, and Tongguan. Zhang Ji led the army to Wancheng, and Xiahou Yuan in Luoyang was captured by our army. Maybe Cao Cao would advance to Guandu. After all, now he should have received information that Xiahou Yuan was captured and the pass was almost lost."

After hearing this, Lu Ning thought that these are all good news. He looked up at Guo Jia and Tian Chou, and then said, "Ziyi, Zhengping and the other two are doing well, Junyi and Gongming are doing well. As for Cao Cao's 100,000 army, if you want to capture Guandu? That is a delusion. Although in Guandu, Hao Zhao only has 10,000 army. As long as he insists on defending the city and does not go out of the city to fight, Cao Cao will have no way to do it. He will only be in vain. You notify Hao Bodao and ask him to guard the city tightly and not be allowed to go out of the city to fight."

After hearing this, Guo Jia said, "It's lord, we will deal with this. After repeated research, we felt that the army of Ziyi and Zhengping should be allowed to immediately raid Xingyang. There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses of Cao Cao in Xingyang City. The general guarding the city is Xia Houshang. Our army can quickly take this city. Once Xingyang City is included in our bag, our army will only send 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard it. There is no need for generals to guard it, otherwise two generals can be guarded."

Lu Ning thought for a long time before saying, "Okay, just follow what you said, tell Ziyi that Zhengping should be fast, and take down Xingyang City in the shortest time, and don't give Lao Cao a chance to help. Once Xingyang City is captured, Ma Ren strengthens the fortifications, and it is best to build a urn city. That place will be a place that Lao Cao will focus on taking care of in the future."

Tian Chou said: "Lord, what should I do if Xiahou Yuan, who was captured by our army?"

Lu Ning thought about it and said, "Let Ziyi, Zhengping and others take Xiahou Yuan to attack Xingyang and bring him to the front of the formation. I think the Xingyang defenders dare to shoot arrows? After capturing Xingyang City, let him go back. Our army does not want to completely turn against Cao Cao. If Xiahou Yuan is killed, then Cao will definitely lead the army to fight us desperately."

Tian Chou said: "Lord, is it appropriate to ask the captured Xiahou Yuan to block the bow and arrow in front of the formation? It will not be laughed at by the world. This is contrary to morality. Please think about it three times."

After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "What are you afraid of? If you want to say it, just say it. There are so many things to do in war, which can reduce the casualties of soldiers and use the minimum cost to capture the city. So why not worry about what method? As long as you don't hurt the people, you don't have to pay attention to so many concerns."

Guo Jia said: "Lord, Chang'an City has also been captured. Ma Chao's 100,000 troops were completely wiped out by our army and General Pang De was captured. Our army suffered very little losses, and Zilong, Yuanhao and others also took Anding City into their pockets. Zilong, Yuanhao's army was preparing to attack Tianshui."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Zilong is getting more and more mature. It is not easy to destroy Ma Chao's 100,000 elite troops. Ma Chao is very good at commanding cavalry combat, and his bravery is not worse than Zilong; that Pang De's is also extremely brave and good at leading troops to fight, and he is all rare generals."

After hearing this, Tian Tai said, "Lord, our army's siege battle has achieved the effect of surprise attacks. The greatest credit should be attributed to the explosives produced by Ma Jun and Ma Deheng. Otherwise, it would be so easy to capture such a solid city and be dangerous. If it were a regular siege, our army's losses would be huge, which is inevitable."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Yes, war is fighting technology. Due to the need for war, it has also promoted the vigorous progress of science and technology and the rapid development of civil technology. Of course, it has also promoted the improvement of productivity, social progress, and the evolution of human civilization."

Tian Chou looked at Lu Ning and stuttered in a low voice: "Lord, there is another thing, I don't know how to report it to you?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter? We have never experienced anything in so many years."

Tian Chou said in a heavy mood: "Lord, General Buxuan died when he blocked Ma Chao's remnant army!"

After hearing this, Lu Ning exclaimed: "What? Don't regret sacrificing?" The teacup in his hand also fell to the ground and smashed it.
