"In war, the focus, terrain, tactics, strategies, and time..."
Liu Chan kept talking and told them all about his ideas about the martial arts hall. Guan Xing was thoughtful, and Zhang Bao felt a little dizzy after listening.
"I originally thought that the young master set up a martial arts lecture hall to select people with martial arts skills and teach him martial arts. Now it seems that we are shallow."
I thought that the status of Chongwen Hall was important, but now it seems that the importance of this martial arts hall is much more important than that of Chongwen Hall. No wonder the young master wants to preside over it personally.
"It's all to help the Han Dynasty and unify the world. My father is fighting in Guanzhong, so I can only share my father's worries in this way."
There was no complacency on Liu Chan's face. In fact, whether it was the Chongwen Hall or the Martial Arts Hall, its main function was to win people's hearts. As for training a team, there might be one, but as long as Liu Bei is still alive, the resources and talents in Yizhou and Jingzhou will definitely be The things that circle around him and that he can gather are those that have not yet grown up and those that are slightly inferior.
"Then from your perspective, Master, how should students be selected for the martial arts hall?"
"Instead of talking about how to select martial arts students, we should first consider who will teach them the knowledge of marching and fighting."
Guan Xing thought about it and said, "I have quite a lot of experience in archery and spear skills, which can be used as a lesson in spear and archery skills."
"I am good at spearmanship, swordsmanship, archery, and equestrian skills. I can teach you these four skills."
"This person is the enemy of the teacher!"
Liu Chan naturally knew the value of Guan Xing and Zhang Bao's force, but with only force, he was just a vanguard general. How could he be a commander?
In the late Shu Han Dynasty, after the five tiger generals withered one after another, it was almost difficult for the second generation to take charge of their own affairs. Only a few people such as Jiang Wei, Liao Hua, and Wei Yan supported the overall situation.
Now that Liu Chan is here, he naturally wants to reverse the situation.
War is fought with resources, fought with courage, and relied on talents.
Why did the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu finally be succeeded by Jin, the successor of Wei, who unified the world?
Without him!
They have so many talents!
Among the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei has the most talents. The second is Wu, and the least is Shu.
First of all, Wei has a large population base, and the other two states combined are not as large as Wei. Cao Wei is located in the north, and the Cao family (Xiahou family) is strong in itself. It also uses the emperor to command the princes, absorbs many talents from the original Han Dynasty, and After Yuan Shao and other princes won the battle, they expanded their sphere of influence and at the same time further absorbed talents from the defeated princes to form a very large talent pool.
There are countless famous generals and counselors in Wei, including Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Li Dian, Xu Huang, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Zhang Jia, Pang De, Wenpin, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen, Guo Huai, Sima Yi, Hao Zhao, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Wei Guan, Xiahou Ba, etc. are all generals who can be ranked very high.
Sun Wu was an alliance of gentry in Jiangdong. It had always been located in Jiangdong and had a large number of talents. However, its source of talents was relatively single. It was more than capable of defending territory but not enough to develop.
The state of Wu first had Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Handang left by Sun Jian, and then Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu, Zhu Zhi, He Qi, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Ling Cao, etc. who were attracted by Sun Ce. They began to shine during the period of Sun Quan. Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, etc. were much more than Shu.
The least is Shu Han, with the weakest foundation. They have been wandering around before, and in the end they can only settle down in a corner. Moreover, they have a tense relationship with the people originally stationed in Shu. After the elders have withdrawn, there is not enough fresh blood to continue to replenish.
Shu has the smallest population and the smallest talents.
general?
Guan Zhang, Huang Ma Zhao, except for Wei Yan, Ma Dai, Liao Hua, Wang Ping, Jiang Wei, Zhou Cang, nothing else can be taken out.
The quality of Shu's counselors and generals is better than that of Wu, but Shu's talents are more focused on domestic affairs and diplomacy.
Not to mention other talents, Liu Chan felt that he had to cultivate a team first so that there would not be no one available in the future.
"When it comes to martial arts selections, the selection is for handsome men and generals. If you only have martial arts skills, you can only be a general!"
"Young master, what you mean is that it requires not only martial arts, but also strategy and brains." Guan Xing looked at Liu Chan with burning eyes.
"I want to accept all the talented people in the world, so in the selection examination, I want to admit them by subject."
Branch?
This era was still dominated by the examination system, such as the imperial examination system, but now there is no trace of it!
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were both curious for a moment.
"It is divided into two major subjects, liberal arts and martial arts. Since we are a martial arts school, we do not examine classics, biographies, and poems. The liberal arts examines combat methods, strategies, and tactics... It can analyze ancient and modern battle cases and provide guidance for Today’s Battle of Hanzhong is planned. The martial arts exams include riding and archery, battle formations, marching and camping, and logistics... At that time, you and I, as examiners, will comment on the talents who come to the martial arts selection. If they have outstanding abilities, they can enter The martial arts hall, of course...if a powerful businessman is willing to donate huge sums of money, it is not impossible for his children to enter the martial arts hall."
"We'll find out later."
The general framework of the martial arts selection has been set, and the next step is to make additions and additions within this general framework.
For example, for horseback riding and archery, how do you take the exam? What level is qualified and what level is excellent?
In this regard, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao immediately started to argue.
"In terms of mounted archery, three-shot shooting, as long as you can hit the straw man on horseback, you can be called qualified. If you can hit the straw man's vitals, it is excellent."
"Is this too easy?" Zhang Bao was a little dissatisfied with the difficulty of riding and shooting.
"If someone shoots randomly and hits a vital point, wouldn't that be excellent?"
"How can anyone miss it?"
"Ten shots, nine arrows are considered excellent, five arrows are qualified!" Zhang Bao taught with his hands folded in front of his chest and his head slightly raised.
"Nine out of ten shots, or mounted shooting, would you call it excellent?"
Upon hearing that his ability was doubted, Zhang Bao suddenly became anxious.
"What's so difficult about hitting nine out of ten shots? I can hit ten out of ten shots!"
Zhang Bao is the kind of person who is capable but doesn't push too hard. He immediately took the longbow and arrows from the weapon rack and jumped on his mount.
"drive!"
His legs tightened around the horse, and his body began to become tense. He stared intently at the straw man in the distance, bent his bow and arrow, and did not aim much. He only heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow flew towards the straw man.
The arrow shot out from the bow buckle with great force, streaked across the sky, whizzed by, and sank into the straw man's neck in an instant.
Zhang Bao's performance is not over yet!
His feet were fixed in the stirrups, his body was leaning back slightly, holding the bow with one hand, and pulling the bow string with the other hand. His whole body was tense like a bow string, and three arrows were resting on the bow string.
Whoosh whoosh~
The arrows flew through the air, and all three arrows hit the straw man.
Whoosh whoosh~
Three more arrows hit the target.
After a while, ten arrows were fired from the cavalry, and they all hit.
Liu Chan was also impressed by Zhang Bao's shooting skills.
"Brother is a superb archer, I admire you, I admire you!"
Although Guan Xing felt a little dissatisfied, the three arrows in a row were shot while riding on horseback. He thought that if it were him, he might not be able to do it, so he surrendered to show weakness.
But he only showed weakness at the level of Zhang Bao's martial arts. He still refused to give in for the martial arts examination.
"Your personal archery skills are superb, but how many people are like you? No, it would be extremely difficult to hit one out of three."
"Since it is a martial arts hall, it is natural to select those with strong martial arts skills for the prince. If you are a mediocre person, how can you enter the martial arts hall?" Zhang Bao threw the long bow to the attendant beside him, like a victorious rooster, with a high and mighty air. He walked to Liu Chan's side.
"I think it's better to compromise..."
"But are you going to hunt in the fields again?"
Just when Liu Chan was about to speak, a clear female voice appeared from behind everyone.
Liu Chan turned around and saw a tall and beautiful figure.
