    Li Shimin is sixteen years old this year. Although he is young, he is already considered a mature man.

    Unlike Li Shimin's later concocted boast about his "dragon and phoenix appearance, the appearance of the sun, when he is twenty years old, he will be able to help the world and bring peace to the people." At this time, compared with his mature and steady brother Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin was a complete brat.

    The Li family was in decline, and his elder brother Li Jiancheng was more than ten years older than Li Shimin. At this time, Li Shimin had no idea that he would replace his brother as the head of the family. Therefore, Li Shimin, like other legitimate second sons of aristocratic families, had no worries about food and drink, but he had no power.  So, I have to let myself go.

    And he himself also likes to wander around, so although he is young, he often wanders around with a group of prodigal children, and his reputation is not good among the aristocratic children in the capital.

    Li Shimin is witty and alert, and has the ability to adapt to changes. However, he is bohemian and does not cultivate his moral character or study academically, so no one thinks that he has any special talents.

    Many people were almost shocked when they heard that he was Huang Mingyuan's disciple.

    Huang Mingyuan had an impure purpose in accepting Li Shimin as his disciple, so he rarely taught Li Shimin anything.  As for Li Yuan, he never thought that his son would become a military master and a famous general. It was not his family's turn to lead the army in the Sui Dynasty.  Li Yuan just hoped that his second son would have the status of Huang Mingyuan's apprentice so that he would be able to serve more smoothly in the future.

    Both parties unanimously relaxed their restrictions on Li Shimin.

    Until one day, Li Shimin went out with a group of dandies and met Dou Kang, who was idle at home.

    During the banquet, others praised Li Shimin as Huang Mingyuan's disciple and praised him for his youth and promise.  When Li Shimin heard this, he was also very pleased with himself. He couldn't help but feel like a proud swan stretching its neck.

    Dou Kang at the table had a grudge against Huang Mingyuan. He was even more angry when he saw that Li Shimin, a disciple of Guanlong, had accepted Huang Mingyuan as his teacher, so he deliberately wanted to test Li Shimin.

    Li Shimin was not bad at all in his knowledge, but Dou Kang deliberately made things difficult, so Dou Kang asked a few questions, but Li Shimin, who rarely read poetry, couldn't answer them, which made it very ugly.

    At this time, Dou Kang, who was Li Shimin's uncle, said disdainfully: "The disciples taught by Huang Mingyuan can't even understand poetry and calligraphy. I think Huang Mingyuan is really misleading his disciples."

    Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this. For the first time, he felt ashamed from the bottom of his bones.  As a young man, he respected his teacher very much and could not tolerate even the slightest slighting from others, so he was extremely angry at his uncle's ridicule and wanted to defend his master, but found that he had nothing to say.

    Since then, in order not to embarrass his master, Li Shimin worked hard and studied hard.

    The Li family is a wealthy family, with deep family heritage and much richer resources than ordinary people.  Although Li Shimin has an out-of-touch personality, he is more able to sit still if he puts his mind to it.  Li Shimin's learning ability is surprisingly strong. He likes to read a lot of books, and he is not ashamed to ask his subordinates. He can draw inferences from one instance and quickly learn his own things.

    This time Huang Mingyuan rarely returns to Beijing and has time.  Li Shimin, who already knew Xiang Xue, went to his house for advice every day and served Huang Mingyuan like his own son.

    After Huang Mingyuan examined him, he discovered that Li Shimin was indeed talented in military affairs.

    Huang Mingyuan didn¡¯t want to create an enemy for himself, but as a teacher, how could he ignore his students¡¯ requests for advice?  Huang Mingyuan is not such a hypocritical person.  Moreover, people with talent and perseverance cannot be suppressed by ordinary means.

    Whenever Huang Mingyuan gave Li Shimin guidance, Li Shimin made rapid progress, drawing inferences from one instance and drawing inferences from analogies.  Among all the people, there is no one who can compare with it.

    Looking at Li Shimin at this time, Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh that giving birth to a son should be just like Li Shimin.

    On this day, Li Shimin was reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and saw something he didn't understand, so he came to Huang Mingyuan for advice.

    Huang Mingyuan most admires "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Tao Te Ching", believing that whether it is life, work, marching and fighting, the principles are all contained in them.  Huang Mingyuan's nephews, students and even his subordinates were all deeply affected by this. Everyone was familiar with "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Tao Te Ching".

    As Huang Mingyuan's disciple, Li Shimin almost broke through "Sun Tzu's Art of War".  Every time I read this book, I feel that my experience deepens.

    However, Li Shimin could only talk about military affairs on paper at this time, and some things were still superficial, and he really didn't understand the "odd" and "righteous" ways of using military forces.  When marching and fighting, when to use "odd" and when to use "righteous".

    The methods of using troops are ever-changing.  All warriors use right combination to win by surprise.  Therefore, those who are good at surprising things are as endless as heaven and earth, and as endless as rivers and seas.

    It was rare for Huang Mingyuan to feel like this. Seeing that Li Shimin was puzzled, he knew that the rest of the people might not understand either, so heEveryone was called and explained to them the "odd" and "righteous" ways of using troops.

    Everyone sat around under the big tree, feeling like they were sitting and talking.

    Huang Mingyuan did not talk about the art of war first, but asked everyone a question as soon as he came up, what is war?  Why is there war?

    To be honest, no one has ever considered this issue.  Since ancient times, wherever there are people, there have been wars.  Everyone has different opinions, some say "because of ambition"; "because we want to protect the people"; "because we want to plunder land, population, and food"; and some say because "there is no morality and no etiquette and music"

    After listening to everyone's words, Huang Mingyuan said: "There is only one reason for war. War is nothing more than the continuation of politics through another means. When problems cannot be solved by peaceful means, war will occur. From small personal fights to large-scale  This is true for wars between countries. War is full of danger, full of fatigue, full of uncertainty, and full of contingency. Its essence has nothing to do with justice, and there is no right or wrong, only victory. The ultimate goal of all actions in war is to win.  "

    Everyone was surprised when they heard that Huang Mingyuan's words were beyond their understanding.  In the education they have received, wars since ancient times have always been about justice and injustice. Even if it is unjust, it has to be taught by teachers. It is really unimaginable that Huang Mingyuan said that war has "nothing to do with justice, and there is no right or wrong."

    Seeing everyone's puzzled look, Huang Mingyuan said: "If there is justice in war, then since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the barbarians have invaded the Central Plains and used Han people as rotten dogs. Is this justice? However, unjust people like Liu Yuan and Shi Hu  , how can he be the emperor and be honored in the ninth five years?

    So the essence of war is victory. In war, all methods for victory are correct.  This is not inconsistent with the fact that the teacher is famous. It is not because the teacher is famous that he will win. On the contrary, the teacher is famous precisely to win better.  "

    Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

    This is the difference between the times. Many of the later generations are just the rhetoric of a group of half-hearted military fans, but it is a height that many people of this era cannot reach in their lifetime.

    The best gift that time travelers leave to the times is not various imported products from later generations, but advanced ideas.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
