Talking about military affairs on paper is ultimately useless and can harm others and yourself.
Except for Nan Jiyun and Wang Sili, Ma Lin and Li Guiren did not know much about the army and soldiers because they had no military experience.
They both overestimated the soldiers' execution of their orders.
When issuing orders, they did not give the generals and soldiers below time to react and execute.
This was also a problem that they seriously ignored during the command process, which caused them to be often panicked and in a hurry when facing the enemy.
In the afternoon competition, Wang Sili relied on his military experience to defeat Li Guiren.
In the final, Ma Lin lost to Nan Jiyun due to lack of experience.
Therefore, Nan Jiyun won the first place in the ranking.
That is, the martial arts banyan.
Xuanzong liked Nan Jiyun, Ma Lin, Wang Sili and Li Guiren very much.
They were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in battle formations.
Although Ma Lin and Li Guiren had no military experience, they were unable to command on the spot.
Mistakes occurred frequently, but compared to other candidates, they were very rare.
Xuanzong gave them generous rewards.
When Xuanzong left, he waved to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang immediately followed him and saluted as he walked: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Xuanzong kept walking and asked as he walked: "Tomorrow is the semi-finals and finals of the Tianbang Ranking.
How did you arrange it?"
Zhao Ziliang was quite surprised, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has already written a memorial about the relevant examination arrangements and submitted it.
Didn't Your Majesty see that Wei Chen was still wondering these two days?
Now that the memorial has been sent to the palace, Your Majesty should There is an instruction to reply to, but why has it never been approved?
The minister thought that His Majesty had acquiesced, so he did not ask His Majesty."
When Xuanzong heard this, his expression changed, he stopped and turned to look at Li Linfu, asking: "Li Linfu, what's going on?
Why didn't I see the memorial written by Zhao Qing?"
Li Linfu's face instantly turned pale after hearing this.
He just remembered that after the Ministry of Education received the memorials from the courtiers that day, he happened to see the memorial written by Zhao Ziliang about the martial arts examination, but because it was already the end of the shift time, he was in a hurry to go home for dinner, so he took Zhao Ziliang's memorial back home.
He was going to go home and have a look, but accidentally forgot to leave it at home.
Now, the emperor is questioning this matter.
This is no small matter.
Once it is found out that he brought the memorial from the courtiers home, it will be a big deal.
How can he dare to admit that he brought the memorial back home?
His mind was racing.
Immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter strictly, and will not be lenient to those who are derelict in their duties.
Please give me two days, and I will get to the bottom of it."
Xuanzong trusted Li Linfu very much and waved his hand: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you.
I will see the results in two days."
Li Linfu said hurriedly: "I obey the order."
Xuanzong asked Zhao Ziliang again: "I haven't seen the memorial.
Zhao Qing, please tell me the arrangements for the semi-finals and finals of tomorrow's Tianbao."
"Nuo" Zhao Ziliang agreed and explained to the emperor and ministers: "Your Majesty, the minister originally wanted the candidates to compete in a battle between attacking and defending the city.
The candidates would draw lots.
Whoever drew the lottery to defend the city would lead a thousand soldiers.
Defend the city.
The candidate who draws the siege lottery will lead 3,000 troops to attack the city.
However, considering that the siege may cause a large number of casualties. , after all, if you fall from the city wall, you will die or be injured, so Weichen gave up the idea and decided to let the Tianbang candidates compete in a wild encounter, demarcate an uninhabited area, and temporarily block and isolate the area.

To prevent unauthorized persons from intruding, let each contestant bring two thousand soldiers and horses, and the same number of cavalry, five hundred, swords and shields.
There are five hundred soldiers, five hundred pikemen, and five hundred archers.
The contestant and the generals and soldiers he leads have maps, but they only know where their own side is, not where the enemy is, so both sides have to send out Ye BuShou to explore the enemy.
The position of the army is located, and then leads the troops to attack.
The weapons and arrows of both sides have been processed.
Yes, it will not hurt anyone, but the person who is attacked must withdraw automatically.
This area will not be too big, but the terrain is changeable and complex.
The winner must be determined within half a day.
Lots will be drawn to determine who must attack first, otherwise Calculate losing, this is to prevent them from delaying time, so the semi-finals and finals of the Tianbang will take two days in total."
Xuanzong listened and nodded in agreement: "Well, that's very good.
Your idea is very good, let's do it like this."
Zhao Ziliang saluted and said: "I obey the order."
The four people who entered the semi-finals of the Tianbang are Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Cui Qianyou, and Tian Chengsi.
For these four people, Zhao Ziliang knew their names in his previous life.
Needless to say, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, plus Pugu Huaien, The three of them were the three major contributors to the Anshi Rebellion.
Due to their existence, the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt and the rule of the Tang Dynasty continued.
As for Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi, if Zhao Ziliang remembers correctly, they should be An Lushan's subordinates.
Later, he followed An Lushan to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
Cui Qianyou died in the internal strife between An Lushan's son An Qingxu and Shi Siming. , while Tian Chengsi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty at the end of the Anshi Rebellion and was granted the title of Wei Bo Jiedushi.
Later, he became arrogant and domineering, disobeying the court's orders and became a veritable local warlord.
The separatist rule of vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty also began during Tian Chengsi's period.
Regarding unstable factors such as Tian Chengsi and Cui Qianyou, Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill them, and even kill An Lushan together, but thinking about it, he couldn't really do it.
An Lushan has now He is the governor of Yingzhou and the envoy of Pinglu Army.
He is not lower than him in official rank.
The envoy, An Lushan, was injured but he controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
An Lushan was very good at flattering people, and he was very good at building relationships and using backdoors.
He often bribed important officials in the court to speak good words for him in front of the emperor, so he was very favored in front of Xuanzong.
If you want to kill An Lushan, unless it is an assassination, it is probably not feasible.
However, Zhao Ziliang is extremely disgusted with things like assassination.
How could he do such a thing?
But the other way around is that it will be more than ten years before the Anshi Rebellion breaks out in history.
Who knows what it will be like at that time.
Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi were drawn into groups.
Guo Ziyi and Tian Chengsi were drawn into a group, and Li Guangbi and Cui Qianyou were drawn into a group.
First, Guo Ziyi and Tian Chengsi each led two thousand troops to duel in a specified area.
Since both sides did not know where the other side was at the beginning, they had to send spies to detect the other side's location.
The prescribed area was not large.
Guo Ziyi knew that Tian Chengsi's sentry would soon detect his position, so he took most of the soldiers and horses out to ambush near the camp, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses in the camp to set up a suspicion formation. , creating the illusion that his main force is still in the camp.
As expected, Tian Chengsi's sentinel quickly found Guo Ziyi's camp.
After receiving the news, Tian Chengsi immediately dismissed his soldiers and gathered near Guo Ziyi's camp.
Then he immediately launched an attack.
He originally wanted to catch Guo Ziyi off guard, but he didn't expect it.
This is Guo Ziyi's strategy to lure the emperor into an urn.
Tian Chengsi just led the two Thousands of soldiers and horses rushed into the camp, and shouts of killing could be heard outside the camp.
First, a hail of arrows shot down, and a large number of Tian Chengsi's soldiers and horses fell down.

Then Guo Ziyi led the army to attack, and Tian Chengsi was killed.
After being defeated, the soldiers fled in all directions.
In this sentence, Tian Chengsi lost, and Guo Ziyi won, qualifying for the finals.
Next is the duel between Li Guangbi and Cui Ganyou.
Both of them are extremely cautious people and will not be fooled easily.
The two have faced each other in previous competitions, so they both know something about each other.
In this duel, Cui Ganyou has an advantage, that is, he does not have to attack first.
Li Guangbi drew the lottery that must attack first, so he must attack Cui Ganyou first.
Both of them are cautious people, and the more If you start first, you will be more likely to make mistakes and expose your flaws.
When Li Guangbi led the march, he was attacked by Cui Qianyou's 500 cavalry.
The archery troops suffered almost all casualties.
When Li Guangbi sent the cavalry troops to pursue, Cui Qianyou's cavalry fled again.
When Li Guangbi's cavalry turned around, they found Cui Qianyou again.
You's cavalry was attacking their own sword and shield soldiers.
When they were about to help, they were intercepted by Cui Qianyou's spearmen.
They suffered heavy losses in the storm and only a few escaped.
Li Guangbi's spearmen were shot by Cui Qianyou's archers. , the losses were quite heavy.
When the duel time came, Li Guangbi suffered much more losses than Cui Qianyou.
In this duel, Cui Qianyou gave full play to the advantages of the cavalry, adopted the strategy of moving the tiger away from the mountain, and then defeated each one.
Li Guangbi had been working as a sinecure in the army before and had never actually led troops.
This tragic defeat made him realize his shortcomings and lack of experience, so he concentrated on learning the experience of leading troops and commanding in the days to come.
Although the emperor and the ministers of the DPRK could not go to the scene to watch in person, soldiers came over on horseback from time to time to report the situation at the scene.
Therefore, relevant information could be obtained in a timely manner.
The situation of the confrontation between the two sides also allowed the emperor and the ministers of the DPRK to open up.
Although there are only two scenes, everyone uses all their methods and strategies.
On the last day, the finals and the competition for third place were held.
First, Li Guangbi and Tian Chengsi led their troops to duel.
This time, Li Guangbi still had bad luck.
He drew the lottery that he had to act first.
After detecting the enemy's position, Li Guangbi immediately led his troops.
Move forward, but this time he learned the lesson from being defeated by Cui Qianyou yesterday, so No matter how harassed Tian Chengsi was, he remained unmoved in the face of danger, always gathering all the soldiers and horses together, and marching in the fastest marching snake formation.
Tian Chengsi had no time to make corresponding arrangements, so Li Guangbi led The men arrived and killed Tian Chengsi by surprise.
Tian Chengsi was defeated and Li Guangbi finished third.
Finally, it was Cui Qianyou and Guo Ziyi's turn for the final decisive battle.
Cui Qianyou was unlucky and got the lottery that he had to attack first.
He sent a large number of spies to explore the location and movements of Guo Ziyi's army, but no scouts turned around.
Only then did he know The scouts sent out were probably all killed, which made him almost blind.
However, Cui Ganyou had been in the army for a long time and did not show any timidity.
He checked the map and decided to lure Guo Ziyi out.
Soon, he spotted a place that was very suitable for an ambush.
Before he led the army to set off, he told the generals and soldiers if they encountered anything on the way.
When the enemy attacks, don't panic, but pretend to be panic, and then line up in a long snake formation and retreat quickly.
If there are enemy troops retreating during our retreat, attack the middle of the long snake formation, and quickly attack both ends of the formation. encirclement and attack When passing by the place where Cui Qianyou expected, Guo Ziyi's army came out from the side and attacked the front army of Cui Qianyou's army.
Cui Qianyou immediately led his troops to flee in panic.
Not far away, a large number of Guo Ziyi's army rushed out from the woods.

Cut off Cui Ganyou's panicked one-word long snake formation in the middle.
At both ends, the Tang troops who participated in the show were all well-trained elites and fully implemented Cui Qianyou's tactics.
When the one-word long snake formation was cut into two sections, the first and last armies immediately encircled most of Guo Ziyi's army in the middle. , Guo Jun was in chaos, Cui Jun took advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, and Guo Jun was defeated.
The result made Zhao Ziliang feel quite surprised.
Although Cui Qianyou had a good record during the Anshi Rebellion, even Ge Shuhan and Feng Changqing were defeated by this person one after another, but he later lost to Guo Ziyi many times, but he did not expect that he would completely abuse Guo Ziyi now. , it’s incredible.
After listening to the reports from the soldiers at the front, Zhao Ziliang raised his hands and said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, the situation is obvious.
Guo Ziyi lost and Cui Qianyou won.
Whether it is the heavenly list or the earthly list, all candidates have a common problem, that is, they have no military experience.
Candidates are basically inexperienced, and they really encounter changes.
So they were panicked, but this is not a problem.
As long as they are given time and enough experience, these problems can be solved.
These duels also tell us a truth.
People without real actual experience in leading troops must not become generals. , otherwise it will be like Zhao Kuo's war on paper and lead to tragedy."
Xuanzong nodded and said: "Yes, this is a very good statement."
After finishing speaking, a eunuch came over and reported: "Your Majesty, the governor of Yingzhou and the envoy of Pinglu Army, An Lushan, have an audience."
Xuanzong raised his hand: "Xuan" Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "An Lushan has come to Chang'an":
