Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The designated battlefield is quite broad, but overall, the terrain is not complicated. Apart from two slightly high hills, there is almost nothing worth mentioning. Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu chose to camp at the foot of one of the mountains called Xiaoniu Mountain. It's a good choice because it's close to a stream and it's easy to get water.

Li Xin inspected the big camp, and found that everyone was strictly following the usual practice, and the camp was orderly, giving people a pretty good feeling.

Back in the general's camp, Li Xin found that it was a bit lively. Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Niu Jianhu, Yuchi Baolin and several others gathered around the big table in the center of the camp to discuss something enthusiastically.

Seeing Li Xin coming in, everyone raised their heads together. Niu Jianhu said excitedly: "Your Highness, your sand table is really good!"

Yuchi Baolin held a map and shouted: "With this map, it's as if the battlefield is right in front of you."

Li Xin smiled, motioned everyone to get out of the way, then sat down and said, "No way. After all, I can only work hard on these places."

After speaking, his eyes fell on the table in front of him.

This is not an ordinary table, it should be more like a large square washbasin with four legs, and the length and width are both five feet. The basin is covered with fine sand and gravel, which are carefully piled up in a high and low shape. If you focus on the two highest uplifts, it is not difficult to find that one of them is somewhat similar to Maverick Mountain. The other bulge naturally represented another mountain in the simulated battlefield, Wuyun Mountain.

That's right, this is exactly the simulated sand table carefully crafted by Li Xin.

The simulated battlefield was not temporarily designated. As early as the day before the military exercise, Li Shimin sent someone to deliver the map of the battlefield to Li Xin. After Li Xin opened the map, he just glanced at it and wanted to tear up this so-called map, which is not even as good as toilet paper, and then flush it into the toilet. Well, there is actually no toilet at the moment. There will be no corners either. It can only be thrown into the cesspit.

The role of a map is to tell readers important geographic information. The map that Li Shimin sent had almost nothing on it except for simple lines and words. Anyway, as a map, it must have a scale, right?

Seeing Li Xin who was about to vomit blood, Wang Gui leaned over to take a look.

"Is this the military map you use?" Li Xin asked helplessly.

Wang Gui nodded, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with the map.

Li Xin shook his head, and asked vigorously, "That's all, let me ask you, are you familiar with this place?"

"Well, there is nothing in Guanzhong that I am not familiar with." Wang Gui said confidently. As the King of Scouts, he knows the topography of most places in the pass like the back of his hand.

Therefore, on the basis of the original map, Li Xin drew a new map overnight, adding a series of information such as scale, altitude information, route, terrain, etc. to it. Of course, all this information is based on the source of information, Wang Gui.

This is also the reason why Li Xin was so exhausted as soon as he returned to the palace.

Since this map can now be recognized by Cheng Chumo and others, it proves that Wang Gui is really not a big talker.

As for the sand table matching the map, it was ordered by Li Xin to Wang Guidui just now. Speaking of which, Wang Gui is really very spiritual about these military matters. Li Xin just explained a few essentials, and he was able to do things beautifully. For example, the sand table in front of me is almost exactly what Li Xin envisioned.

After the sand table and map were ready, Li Xin called Cheng Chumo and his group to his camp, and then went out to the camp for a tour while they were studying these two things.

Seeing that these two things can be recognized by everyone now, he certainly feels a sense of accomplishment.

"Now everyone should have a better understanding of the terrain of this decisive battle. What do you think?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

He had already thought about it. Although he knew how to train and some basic military knowledge, when it came time for the two armies to confront each other, he really didn't know what to do or where to start. Therefore, he decided to make good use of these people in front of him, including Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

I said it long ago. Although these two people are usually not bright, but at any rate they are the biological sons of Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs, and they are usually at home, and they must have a much deeper understanding of war than Li Xin. After all, although Li Xin was said to be a general, Li Xuandao, who could be called the God of War, had long since passed away and had never taught him anything.

The same goes for Niu Jianhu and Yuchi Baolin. Which one of Niu Jinda and Yu Chigong did not make contributions to Datang? It shouldn't be a big problem for their sons to get together and fight a decent little battle, right?
