In fact, the high and mighty Emperor Wu is tolerant enough to his courtiers, especially for some central ministers, it is almost as if he does not follow the rules of the court.

It is also at this moment that Wu Hexiong, the owner of the Wutai Pavilion, has the following words of "no respect or inferiority" after hearing the words of the Emperor Wu.

"Your Majesty's invitation to the Grand Master, don't forget to call me. It is said that the food and drink in the Queen's small kitchen is a must. Your Majesty has always been reluctant to reward me. If I can get a taste of the Grand Master's light, I won't. He Xiong must be grateful to Dade." The master of Wutai Pavilion smiled and the flesh on his face began to tremble.

The owner of Wutai Pavilion has always been famous in Tianyuan as the top three.The best at deploying soldiers and armour, the most fond of gluttonous food, and the most cynical.This fat man who is only forty years old can be ranked as the head of the three pavilions at such an age. Naturally, he is by no means an ordinary person. At the beginning of Tianyuan's founding, he absorbed the other subjugated forces, and this fat man served as the military department in Dongxia Yuanwailang.

Speaking of Fatty Wu at that time, his reputation had already spread far and wide, and Mi Ping, who monopolized the style of Nan Chu at that time, was known as "Nan Mi Dong Wu." And Wu Hexiong is the best in Dongxia in the deployment of soldiers and armors.

It's a pity, it's a pity that one in Southern Chu was nothing more than a mere imperial official, and the other in Eastern Xia was just a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of War.

Unlike Mi Ping, who was too talented and eventually covered up his own ability to govern the country and save the world, He Xiong was famous all over the world with a military strategy and a map of the distribution of military strategists before he entered the court.

It is said that Wu Hexiong, who was not yet crowned at the time, gave a military strategy to the Eastern Xia Dynasty at that time, and that strategy was also seen by the big bosses in the court at that time, and he was dismissed with a sentence of "How dare a mere young man speak military, If it weren't for the big man in the court who didn't think it was necessary to argue with a young man, He Xiong would have had enough and walked away at that time.

What really made Wu Hexiong famous all over the world was the map of the distribution of military strategists. At that time, Emperor Wu led people to attack the Later Song Dynasty, and the Yang family was in a stalemate with Southern Chu on the southern battlefield.

At that time, Emperor Wu had already won the frontal battle. If he captured Hou Song, Dong Xia would be next.At that time, Wu Hexiong then posted another map of the distribution of military strategists, and threatened that if Emperor Wu's army captured the Song Dynasty, they would march in the same way. From where to ship and so on.

At that time, the distribution map of the military strategists was received by the boss who was in the extremely pre-examination position of Dongxia in the court at that time. After that boss was a little bit dumbfounded.Then the big man in the army showed his subordinates the distribution map of the armor as a joke, and said with a smile that a young man was going to teach them all to form an army, and the soldiers present at the time and the adults in the military department all agreed. There was a roar of laughter.

A month later, Hou Song was defeated by Emperor Wu's army. Afterwards, the spies and sentries of the Ministry of War sent back intelligence information about how to use the soldiers. After seeing the detailed intelligence report, the big brother Dong Xia who has dual identities in the military department and the army couldn't help being dumbfounded.

The situation on the real battlefield is exactly the same as that drawn by the young man named Wu Hexiong. Even how many soldiers and cavalry are used there are almost as good as what he saw with his own eyes. No two.

At that time, the big man in the army hurriedly dug out the military strategy written by the boy two months ago and read it word by word. It described in detail what Dongxia should do if he wanted to resist Tianyuan's army in the future. The advanced strategy can be said to be the best in Dongxia.

Looking at the general strategy of the military strategist written by the young man who was only as good as the crown, the old man in Dongxia, who was firmly in the top three whether in the army or in the imperial court, held the general strategy map in his hand and was finally speechless for a long time. At such an age, the old man has never believed that there are so-called geniuses in the world, especially for the battlefield where the opportunity is fleeting.How can there be any commanding ability without the cruel experience of blood and tears.

But the old man had to believe it when he saw the young man's writing and painting.So he went to the palace overnight and told the Dongxia Emperor about this person. At that time, the old man held the general layout plan and the young man's general opinion on the future armor layout of Dongxia, but what he got in exchange was His Majesty's letter. Disdainful smile.

At that time, Emperor Wu's power had not yet reached the level where he could completely annex the Three Kingdoms, especially when facing Southern Chu and Dongxia, which were not much weaker than the previous dynasty at that time, he seemed a little weak. The relatively weak Later Song Dynasty and the extremely difficult Southern Chu period seemed to be particularly difficult.

So at that time, Emperor Wu had been avoiding and compromising with Dongxia, which could even be said to be unconditionally tolerant, and the emperor of Dongxia at that time was extremely headstrong, and had always dismissed Emperor Wu's army of "grass bandits".

Wu Hexiong rewritten Dong Xia's strategy on how to guard against the Emperor Wu and his Yang family army in the future, but the Emperor Dong Xia smiled and didn't even take a second look. He said with a smile: "The old general looks Is it old-fashioned, Wu and Yang are nothing more than a group of grass bandits in the Liang Dynasty. There is no place in the Liang Dynasty to compete with the Later Song Dynasty. It is extremely difficult to deal with the Later Song Dynasty. Ridiculous, ridiculous Part of the overwhelmed army was sent to wrestle with Nan Chu, and it would take only ten days before they would be worthless.

If the strategy written by this surname He is for the Liang Dynasty or the Southern Chu, I am still aware of it, but since it focuses on rewriting the overwhelmed "revolt" army, I don't care, it's a sensationalist trick That's all. "

At that time, the old man in the army tried his best to persuade him, but in the end it was fruitless. In the end, he just won the position of a member of the Ministry of War for the young man, and this position was just a whim of the emperor.

Under what the old man said, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Since the old general values ​​him so much, let him go to the Ministry of War to be a foreigner. It’s interesting even for a genius to kneel and worship.” After saying that, he walked away, leaving only the old man in a daze.

Why couldn't the old man see the strength of the Emperor Wu who hadn't yet become king at that time?In fact, at that time, the Liang Dynasty was already like a twilight old man with only a little power left, and the reason why Emperor Wu, who raised troops in the Liang Dynasty, chose to attack the Later Song Dynasty and Southern Chu was by no means what the emperor said was that there was no place in the Liang Dynasty. , This was the best choice for Emperor Wu at that time.

At that time, Emperor Wu's uprising was led by soldiers from a county and county in the land of Sichuan and Shu that he commanded at that time. Among them, they slowly grew and finally took shape in the land of Sichuan and Shu. At that time, there were already many rebels who rose up in the Liang Dynasty. Later, the most powerful one was the Ningzhong Army led by Cheng Guang, and the other was the Bingjia led by Emperor Wu.

At that time, if the land of Sichuan and Shu wanted to completely overthrow the previous Liang Dynasty, it would have to travel all the way east, passing through the current Jiangnan Road, the land of Qilu and Jinghu North Road, and at that time, the only remaining force of the Liang Dynasty was the Huben Army with relatively high combat power. Less than 8 miles to the northeast guarded the northeast of the capital of the Liang Dynasty, and along the way there was another Central Plains Xiang army with a number of roughly [-] people stationed in the land of Qilu.

Different from ordinary uprisings, what they want to do most is to overthrow the previous rule. Emperor Wu's purpose is not only that, but Xu Bowen beside him and Li Liang at that time will never be so short-sighted.

Therefore, Emperor Wu, who had actually begun to take shape at that time, and the generals of the Yang family led by King Yang began to wrestle with the Later Song Dynasty and Southern Chu at that time with the strategy of "safety inside must first fight outside".

At that time, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty was fatuous, and the relationship with the Later Song Dynasty and the Southern Chu Dynasty was also in jeopardy after a long period of friction. However, the Emperor Wu went to wrestle with these two countries. , and even won the favor of the former court.

The most ridiculous thing is that in the later period, both the temples of the former dynasty and the people in the court and the public felt that Emperor Wu was the only army in the Liang Dynasty that resisted foreign enemies for the country and the people at that time. In the land bordering the Liang Dynasty, the remaining two countries sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight against the Liang Dynasty.

At that time, the troops under the command of Emperor Wu and King Yang were quite powerful, and under the planning of Xu Bowen and Li Liang, they won more than they lost and lost less. At that time, the later Song Dynasty and Southern Chu put all their anger towards them in other places. The local vent was in the Liang Dynasty at that time, coupled with the uprising within the Liang Dynasty at that time, the power of both the Liang Dynasty and the Later Song Dynasty and Southern Chu were reducing each other for a while.

And Emperor Wu's army continued to sharpen and grow in such an environment. Among them, many soldiers from the two countries were absorbed in the Later Song Dynasty and Southern Chu, and people from the Liang Dynasty continued to join the army. In this way, Emperor Wu and King Yang The army continued to grow and develop, and its prestige in the Liang Dynasty also increased.

In fact, such a strategy is not something no one can see through. Some people in the Later Song, Southern Chu, and Liang dynasties also gave advice, but the long-term conflict of interests between them and the problems of their respective monarchs made it useless even if someone saw the advice.

Different from the other two countries in the vortex, if Dongxia at that time defended according to Wu Hexiong's strategy, and cooperated with the already dangerous geographical position, it would not be possible for King Yang to destroy Dongxia later. It's a pity, it's a pity At that time, Wuhe Xiong stayed in the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of War, for three years, but he couldn't say a word in the end.

Especially not long after he joined the Ministry of Military Affairs, the old man who recommended him to join the Ministry of Military Affairs became bedridden due to illness, and passed away in less than a year. Both his deputy appearance and his talents have become a joke among the Eastern Xia Dynasty.

At that time, what Dong Xia talked about was that the old man who had never lost his eyes all his life actually lost his eyes when he came, and even recommended an embroidered pillow who could only talk on paper to the Ministry of War, not even an embroidered pillow, after all How can the fat body of the other party be called an "embroidered pillow"?It's a pity that the old man still believes that the other party is a genius, it's ridiculous, it's really sad.

In fact, maybe the entire Eastern Xia court didn't realize that it wasn't that there were no geniuses in the sky, it's just that they were full of mediocrity and didn't know a gold inlaid jade.
