In the autumn of the third year of Yongchu, the northern border lost three cities in a row, and the court masters were in harmony. The new emperor Zhou Huai followed the late emperor's secret edict and went to Yunwu Mountain to look for the legendary "Mr. Woyun".
The bamboo door opened slightly, and what he saw was a woman in plain clothes, Xie Zhi.
"Sir, he has not returned from his travels." She lowered her eyes and made tea, her voice as calm as mist.
Zhou Huai's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he was about to ask, but he saw her fingertips dipping the tea in the cup, and writing a few strokes on the smooth stone table - the mountains and rivers of the northern border, the enemy's defenses, and the food road and the gate of life were all in front of him, which was the strategy he had been thinking of to break the situation.
"By cutting off these three food routes, the critical situation in the north can be solved. However, we need a general who dares to die to cut through the dangerous path from here." She spoke calmly, as if what she said was not about the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, but just playing chess pieces.
Three months later, a great victory was achieved in the north. The tactics used were exactly the same as the water marks that were gradually drying on the stone table that day.
Zhou Huai couldn't sleep at night and went to Yunwu Mountain again. The rain was pouring heavily. He knocked on the bamboo leaf and was soaked all over: "May I ask, girl, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Woyun?"
Xie Zhi lit the lamp, and in the dim yellow light, she took out a yellowed volume of military strategy from the depths of the bookshelf. The inscription on the title page was the same as the handwriting of Mr. Wo Yun mentioned by the late emperor. Next to the signature, there is a very small red seal, which is the word "Xie Zhi".
"The person your Majesty is looking for," she raised her eyes, her gaze as clear as an ancient well, "is none other than me."
From then on, the woman Wolong came out of the mountain in white clothes, and in the name of "joining the military discussion", she acted as a leader. The sand table calculations have left no stone unturned, the new policy reforms have angered the powerful, and the woman's identity has aroused huge criticism. Until the night of the palace coup, when hundreds of thousands of rebels besieged the city, she stood in the arrow tower dressed in plain clothes, with the sky blazing with fire below.
Someone screamed: "Si Chen, the country will be destroyed!"
When she heard this, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and she pushed open the huge map of the city wall with her bare hands. Under the moonlight, the veins of mountains and rivers are as clear as the lines in the palm of your hand:
"Then I invite you to try this 'chicken' plan. How can you use 30,000 defenders to swallow up all your 100,000 soldiers today?"
Historical records: During the reign of Yongchu, the emperor and the empress supported the mountains and rivers together. But few people know that the beginning of the prosperous age began with a rain in Yunwu Mountain. A woman said to the young emperor:
"Your Majesty, since the world is your chess game, do you dare to play a game of chess with me?"
Concept: Wisdom has nothing to do with gender. It explores how women use their absolute talents to break the shackles of the times, uphold benevolence in helping the world in rational planning, adhere to their true moral principles at the top of power, and ultimately realize the scholar's ideal of "cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world."
