It was already noon when I left the Literary School.
After lunch, Zhang Xiu took Hu Che'er into the military knowledge school.
After a eloquent talk at the Literary School, Hu Cheer admired Zhang Xiu. Now going to the Military School, he decided to show off himself. Being able to carry five hundred kilograms and travel seven hundred miles a day, he is no joke.
The Military Academy and the Literary Academy are mutually exclusive. Those who like literature can choose to enter the Literary Academy, and those who like martial arts can enter the Military Academy. You have to have both. You can study both civil and martial arts. You can go to the Literary Academy in the morning and come in the afternoon. Military knowledge school.
Military knowledge school is not just about enthusiastic martial arts training, but also about learning about troop formations, military art minutes, etc. What Zhang Xiu wants is a handsome general who can handle both literary and military duties, not a stupid young man who can only charge into battle. Well... Hu Che'er belongs to the latter.
However, under Zhang Xiu's coercion and inducement, Hu Che'er finally knew a few words. At least he knew what his name looked like. The three words took Zhang Xiu half a day, but he did not give up on his stupidity. His head was green, so he patiently taught him more words.
When entering the military knowledge school, students are learning the art of war. The students had already guessed that Zhang Xiu would come to the Junshi Academy in the afternoon, so when he appeared, he immediately attracted countless students to watch, their eyes filled with admiration.
Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cao twice, and his ability to strategize the second time was better than that of thousands of miles away. He became the idol of the Military Academy, so they looked at Zhang Xiu like later generations of fans looking at their idolized stars.
In the military school in the afternoon, he saw many faces he had seen in the literary school, including Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
Seeing Zhang Xiu coming in, Jia Xu saluted, and other students followed suit.
Zhang Xiu replied: "Today there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Naturally, the purpose of coming to the school is to learn and discuss. Everyone can speak freely."
Hu Che'er hoped that he would have a chance to show off his abilities, so he said, "I'm stupid, so I can speak freely. Lord Marquis, you can let me show off my strength."
Zhang Xiu naturally knew his little Jiujiu, so he said, "Okay, let's go to the school grounds and talk about the art of war and compete in martial arts at the same time."
The students rushed out of the school with Zhang Xiu and came to a school ground behind the school that could accommodate thousands of people and was as big as a football field in later generations.
The first round of competition is archery.
The bows and arrows in the camp are all commonly used Han bows. The Han bows are exquisitely made. The arrows fired when the bow is fully drawn can split rocks within a hundred steps, which shows its power.
There was a circular shooting target a hundred steps away. Zhang Xiu set an example and was naturally the first to pick up the bow and arrow. He flicked the bow string with his fingers, opened the bow and nocked the arrow. His strong arms suddenly exerted force and he pulled the Han bow in an instant. In full circle, the students in the backyard made sounds of horror.
With a thunderous sound, the arrow pierced the air and shot quickly, accurately hitting the bull's-eye. The arrow feathers penetrated through, and the students let out "Wow!" in admiration.
"My lord is good at swordsmanship, let me try it!" Hu Che'er felt itchy and couldn't wait to pick up another Han bow. He suddenly exerted his strength and drew the bow to the full. With a "pop" sound, he accurately shot through. Bullseye, the students also made a sound of exclamation.
"Let's try it too!" At this moment, two people walked out of the crowd.
The two of them are tall, one of them has a heavy waist and a yellow complexion. He looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is very handsome. The other is only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome, fair complexion and a magnificent figure.
"Are you Wang Shuang and Huo Jun, the student representatives of Military Knowledge Academy?" Zhang Xiu noticed the two of them when they entered the academy.
The two men hurriedly saluted: "Student Wang Shuang (Huo Jun), pay your respects to the Marquis."
Zhang Xiu handed the Han bow in his hand to Wang Shuang: "You come first."
Wang Shuang was inspired and moved his muscles. The bones made a crunching sound. He opened his bow and set an arrow. With a sudden pull, he made a full bow. He aimed at the bullseye in front and released the bowstring. After a muffled sound, the arrow passed through. Bullseye.
"Good!" Zhang Xiu cheered for him, "Wang Shuang is very brave and has the appearance of a general, but a general must not only be brave but also have profound knowledge. He must also study hard and not be impetuous."
Wang Shuang was praised and his face flushed with excitement: "Students, please remember the teachings of the Marquis!"
"Well!" Zhang Xiu saw that Wang Shuang was restless and it was difficult for him to calm down and study, so he took off a jade pendant from his waist and gave it to him, "A general must have a heart as steady as a mountain and as motionless as a bell. , this jade pendant is something I carry with me, and now I give it to you, don’t let it down.”
Wang Shuang's heart was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chest. He knelt on the ground and took the jade pendant with both hands: "Students will never dare to live up to the teachings of the Marquis."
The key to pink eye that others envy.
Helping Wang Shuang up, Zhang Xiu handed the Han bow to Huo Jun: "You want to try it too!"
Huo Jun took the Han bow steadily, staring firmly at the bull's-eye in front of him. He bent his arms to fully pull the bow string. The fingers hooked on the bow string were loosened, and the arrow feathers flew out, accurately hitting the bull's-eye.
Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. He still attached great importance to Huo Jun, who was stable and could take charge of his own role in the future: "Being neither arrogant nor impetuous, a young man who is stable is a handsome man who can be of great use in the future."
Although Huo Jun remained steady, he also bowed excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your praise!"
Next was the enthusiastic performance of various students, including demonstration competitions in various aspects such as horse riding, archery, and weapon use.
Undoubtedly, Wang Shuang and Huo Jun are the most outstanding talents.
Standing on the high platform of the school ground, looking at the lively and emotional scene below, Zhang Xiu felt the heroic feeling of galloping around the world in his heart.
Pang Tong stood up from behind and asked: "Master Marquis, a general cannot be brave but without strategy. What is strategy?"
Pang Tong finally stood up.
Zhang Xiu turned back and said with a smile: "The Art of War says: Soldiers use deceitful ways. The so-called deceitful ways are shortcuts and detours. Planning is the solution to deception. Knowing the enemy in advance, knowing yourself and the enemy, and having the overall situation in mind is the plan." "The so-called strategist and those who make unexpected plans are all strategists."
Pang Tong nodded: "What's the strategy?"
"The so-called strategy refers to seizing, uniting the army and occupying the territory; the word "strategy" comes first, which means to use far-reaching planning to seize what is needed. This is a far-sighted strategy."
"Master Hou has farsightedness!"
"Hmm... Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang; we will send troops to conquer Yongzhou in three months, but the troops will be unknown. There needs to be a valid reason. What can you do?"
Yongzhou? !
The topography of the Qinling Mountains and the Guanzhong Plain appeared in their minds at the same time. If they could capture the Guanzhong Plain, they would then seize the land of Liangzhou and rely on the Wei Han to consolidate the world.
The two of them had already guessed Zhang Xiu's plan.
But this reason for sending troops is indeed a problem. No matter what, you can't send out Wuming. There must be a reason, otherwise the nobles will criticize Zhang Xiu verbally and writingly.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "Li Jue and Guo Si, the common people in Guanzhong, have committed many crimes. Moreover, when Your Majesty was in Chang'an, they committed heinous crimes and committed rebellion. We can report to the emperor to send troops to attack these thieves."
Zhang Xiu nodded.
Not to be outdone, Pang Tong said: "Li Jue and Guo Si are not monolithic. They can use the plan of alienation to make the two tigers fight for survival. War will inevitably arise. When the time comes, I can report to Your Majesty and send troops to quell the chaos."
Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. As expected of Wolong and Fengchu, he knew what he planned in a blink of an eye.
Afterwards, Zhang Xiu let the two of them do it freely.
At the same time, he also has to prepare for his wedding.
