Chapter Eleven Where the Sun Can't Shine
readx;
Like everyone in the world, if there is no conflict of interests, it will be very pleasant to get along with each other. No one is willing to live with you with a cold face all day long.
Wen Yanbo is actually a very humorous and witty person, and he is very frank and never hides his shortcomings. Whether you are sarcastic or Piri Yangqiu, he can get along with you in the fastest time.
Because there were thirty artillery artillery in the army, they walked very slowly. At the same time, because the Liao people's rangers always circled around elusively, the army's speed became even slower. In the end, Yun Zheng had to turn it up.
The young army's wolf cubs were released for free hunting, and the situation improved a little. At least, there was no news that a small army was attacked by the Liao people again.
After the vegetation sprouted, the earth also thawed from the frozen state, and the road was pulp was very strong. Such road conditions were a great challenge for artillery transportation.
Yun Zheng and Wen Yanbo stood by the roadside, watching a cannon sink into the mud and then being dragged out of the mud by a shirtless soldier, the two of them began to smile bitterly at the same time.
"The iron wheels under the cannon are too narrow. If they are widened three times, the situation will be much better." Yun Zheng waved his hand to greet Sun Jie and told him his opinions.
Wen Yanbo asked curiously when he saw that Sun Jie had already made preparations, "What's the reason?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "This is about calculation and also discussing the relationship between pressure and pressure. You can't understand it even if you say it, so it's better not to say it!"
Wen Yanbo was not angry, but nodded seriously and said, "It's me that I'm rude. It's the secret that your Yun family has not passed on. I'm really talking too much."
When Yun Zheng saw Wen Yanbo put on such a shameless face, he couldn't help but sigh: "I have won scholars by my articles in the Song Dynasty, and a wonderful article can be exchanged for Zhu Zigui all over my body.
Mathematics is included in miscellaneous studies, and such a science closely related to our lives can only be included in the system. Only those who cannot pass the imperial examination will settle for the second best to learn those miscellaneous studies.
But no elite figure is willing to spend their energy on these knowledge, which is a great sorrow.”
Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Arithmetics is not a miscellaneous study. At least in my eyes, there are few scholars who are not familiar with math, such as "Zhoufeng Arithmetic", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Island Arithmetic", "Zhang
The ten arithmetic texts of Qiu Jian's Summary, Xiahou Yang's Summary, Five Classics Arithmetic, Ancient Arithmetic, and "Jiao Shu" have always been the favorites of my scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty.
Even if I have a little spare time, I dare not leave the "Five Cao Jing Jing". The five types of government brothers and sisters, Tian Cao, Jian Cao, Cang Cao, and Jin Cao, dare not leave the government for a day.
It is also one of my entertainment to come and do something without any trouble.
Shen Kuo is even a master in mathematics. Marquis Yun should not underestimate my great Song mathematics."
"I calculate those useless chickens and rabbits in the same cage all day, or break ropes into the well, and follow Han Xin to order troops. Planning for the height of Shanyin is just a pastime for the scholars and officials, and they understand that these are useless.
The ones who should know mathematics are the craftsmen, the minor officials who build water conservancy projects. The mathematics should show off their supernatural powers in building cities, building bridges, building weapons, and chariots and ships, rather than becoming a toy for scholars and officials.
If my craftsmen from the Song Dynasty could create more exquisite tools that could make the crossbow shoot farther and more accurate, and the cannons had greater power and more accurate, then the Song Dynasty would not be empty talk.
If I could draw a more accurate map to the people who made the map, we would have a clear understanding of the land we are in, and we would be able to accurately transform the land we live in and ask for more output from the land.
If our scholars and officials can develop a vision of the world and use arithmetic to mark the world, then even God can find out his true face!”
Wen Yanbo looked at Yun Zheng who was angry and angry, whispered: "Don't be so angry in immortality. Ten people who are not satisfied with their life in this world are proficient in math. You, Mr. Yun, are proficient in math. But you can't ask everyone in the world to be proficient in math, right?
Then, if you learn a science to be a staircase for the scholars, you have to do what other families do? What should I do if I am a nerd who only knows how to read the scriptures hard?"
Yun Zheng was almost choked to death by Wen Yanbo's words. He glanced at him hatefully, stepped on his big green horse and ran forward. The so-called "no speculation" is like this.
Wang Anshi's carriage came over, and he opened the curtain and looked at Wen Yanbo and smiled: "Brother Kuanfu, you shouldn't have lost the general's spirit at this time. You must know that the three armies cannot seize the commander!"
Wen Yanbo waved his sleeves and fanned the dust that was coming to his face and laughed: "Today I finally knew that Yun Zheng really had no other intentions. He just wanted to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to benefit the people of the Song Dynasty and then sailed on the sea."
Wang Anshi heard the passionate argument they had just now, and did not understand where Wen Yanbo came from.
Before he could ask, Wen Yanbo said slowly: "People who can speak out for their own knowledge will not care about their power. Compared with power, knowledge can make a person last forever!"
After hearing Wen Yanbo's explanation, Wang Anshi just bowed and said, "Brother Kuanfu is a good person" and continued to drive forward.
At this time, he would not tell Wen Yanbo. In his eyes, Yun Zheng has always been a pragmatist. It is not important to Yun Zheng. He likes to live in the present the most!
If this small misunderstanding can narrow the gap between Wen Yanbo and Yun Zheng then a little, he would rather pretend to be mute.
The grassland in April is beautiful, the withered wild grass has not yet rotted, and the green grass only sprouts. The half-yellow and half-green world has become lively because of a large number of birds, whether hiding in the grass.
The emperor is called the emperor, or the crows hovering in the sky, or the sea Dongqing, which is like a king in the highest sky, all singing happily on this gentle and gentle day.
Spring is the time for all things to revive, and it is also the best time for birds to reproduce. Su Xun looked at a beautiful male bird that was showing off his charming female birds and said to Lang Tan with concern: "Most of the war horses in the army are
The war horses that have never been castrated are now in spring, and it is the time when war horses are in heat. If the Liao people use the female horses to lure them, they will definitely cause big trouble to our army and must strictly monitor the war horses."
Lang Tan looked at Su Xun strangely and said, "Where did you hear the story?"
Su Xun frowned and said, "Don't you know the old story of Li Guangbi?"
Lang Tan shook his head.
"During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guangbi used this method to seduce the rebels' horses with a large number of mares, so he won thousands of horses in one fell swoop."
Lang Tan said in surprise: "How is this possible? In our army, the cavalry is not only one horse, one soldier has at least two or three horses, one warrior is a stallion or a horse, and most of the remaining ones are luggage and weapons.
Most of these pack horses are mares, which means that mares account for more than 70% of our army. How can there be a danger of stallions being lured by the Liao people?"
Su Xun smiled and said, "It seems that I am self-righteous, but it is better to be more careful. I have been uneasy these days. I have been traveling all over the army without finding any mistakes. I have to think that these things are almost impossible.
Something about.
In my opinion, in addition to using plague to isolate the grassland, the Liao people only have this extremely insidious method to bring us some danger."
Lang Tan smiled and said, "I actually wish that the Liao people would launch a trauma such as "mouth aphtha". You must know that once the plague occurs, especially when spring is warm and flowers bloom, it will not stop until the cold winter comes.
To be honest, most of my war horses in the Song Dynasty were pack horses. Only the 30,000 cavalry commanded by Zhao Yan.
If the mouth sores develop, the harm to the Liao Kingdom will be much greater than that to our Song Dynasty. We only have horses, mules, donkeys, and no cattle and sheep. Once the Liao Kingdom launches this plague against cattle and sheep, there will be no
For ten years, they can't get out of the shadow of the plague."
Su Xun looked at the clouds in the sky and said lightly: "I naturally know this truth. I just assumed that if a large-scale mouth ulcer really broke out on the grassland, can you still migrate from the Liao Kingdom without Zang Epang?
Do you dare to stay in Zhongjing to seize the fruits of our victory after so many people, or do you dare to stay in Zhongjing?"
Lang Tan looked at Su Xun in horror and said, "This matter..."
Su Xun smiled and said, "I just said a few words casually, just worried that the people of Liao will be anxious and jumped over the wall. You must be careful!
"Last winter, there was an unprecedented heavy snow on the grassland. This spring, there has not been a drop of rain until now, but the land is very wet and the grass grows extremely prosperous. This should have been a livestock for the Liao people.
A good year, but unfortunately, with a military disaster, no good year can withstand such waste..."
Su Xun patted Lang Tan on the shoulder and sat on the carriage and went back on the road. When he saw Yun Zheng, Su Xun was extremely happy and ate an extra bowl of supper.
The war has begun. Since no side wants to retreat, it will make the war more cruel. Only at this time can the strength of a country be seen.
Su Xun saw something like mouth sores from the Liao people's own history. This kind of terrifying plague is actually inevitable every year. Under the vast land and the vast land, there will always be a plague in a certain place. The Liao people
There is a very skillful solution to the initial oral aphthia, which is to kill the sick livestock as soon as possible. No matter how many livestock there are within a radius of ten miles, they are slaughtered, and then they burn them clean. (To be continued)
