Cao Cao sat down and said: "Lu Shijun, I came to you to teach the soldiers how to read. Now I want to implement it on a large scale, but after thinking about it, I can't do it. Lu Shijun has completed it. If I want to implement it on a large scale, please ask Mr. Lu to teach me."
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment.
So that’s what happened.
Cao Cao was stimulated by seeing his soldiers reading and writing, so he came to ask for advice again.
Lu Xuan thought about it in his mind and said: "Father-in-law, reading is not difficult, just be patient. Just let people who can read teach the soldiers. This is a matter of time and water. Take your time and you will get better and better." "
Cao Cao frowned upon hearing this.
Lu Xuan's words were too perfunctory without any real substance.
He knows how to arrange for people to teach the soldiers. But this kind of teaching is useless. How long can it take for countless soldiers to read and write?
Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan, thinking about the scene where soldiers could read and write.
His soldiers all obeyed him.
Although the scholars of the big family served him well, many people did not listen to him. If his soldiers can read and write, have knowledge, and will not be deceived by others, he can let his soldiers govern the place.
As a result, Cao Cao's control over the local area will be unprecedentedly tyrannical.
This is what Cao Cao hopes most.
Especially this time the rebellion in Yanzhou made Cao Cao even more disappointed with the rich families in Yanzhou, and he was eager to cultivate his own power.
Cao Cao knew that Lu Xuan had a character that would not let go of hares before seeing hares, so he said directly: "Lu Shijun always does things for profit. Although I promised to let you choose war horses and generals after killing Lu Bu, you must have horses if you want to raise them." Are you a groom who is proficient in raising horses? I can provide you with these people."
Lu Xuan frowned slightly.
He did not agree immediately, thinking about the pros and cons of Cao Cao's soldiers studying.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was silent, Cao Cao leaned forward slightly and said again: "Xian son-in-law, war horses are not a one-time deal. Even if you get a batch of war horses, the war horses will wear out and become old as time goes by. There are no horse farms in Jiangnan. You cannot be self-sufficient, so I can provide you with war horses for a long time.”
Lu Xuan chuckled.
His eyes became brighter and brighter. It would be interesting if Cao Cao paid attention to this matter.
The conditions offered by Cao Cao are not bad either.
Whether it is a groom who raises horses or a subsequent purchase of war horses, it is an excellent result to reach an agreement with Cao Cao.
At present, it is in favor of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuangang was about to answer, when Cao Cao said urgently again: "Young people like beauty. You have already married Hua Xiaoqiao, the sister of Jiangdong, and you have also married the pearl of the Mi family, and you have also married my daughter Cao Xian. It can be seen that She is young and lustful.”
"I also know a stunning beauty."
"Lü Bu's concubine Diao Chan, although you know the words "natural beauty" and "enchanting", in fact, you can only understand it when you meet Diao Chan. There is such a beautiful woman in this world."
"Every smile, every move she makes is so beautiful."
Cao Cao's voice was full of confusion, and he said: "Originally, if I take Lu Bu, Diao Chan is bound to win. As long as you help me, Diao Chan will give it to you. Diao Chan is now over 20 years old and is the most beautiful woman." "
Lu Xuan did not answer immediately, but instead probed: "Although what my father-in-law mentioned is good, it is not very good. How about this, the personal guard around my father-in-law is good, how about giving him to me?"
"That's impossible!"
Cao Cao flatly refused and said: "Dian Wei is my personal guard and serves me. He cannot be sold or bought at will. If you like my daughter, that's okay. But Dian Wei, absolutely not."
"well……"
Lu Xuan sighed.
Cao Cao leaned forward slightly and said, "Xian son-in-law, please give me the right words."
Lu Xuan said: "My father-in-law is so sincere. If I refuse it again, it would be a bit unwise. In that case, I will tell you. In fact, it is not a difficult matter. It is really just hard work."
A smile appeared on Cao Cao's dark face, and his eyes flashed, feeling that he had discovered Lu Xuan's weakness.
Lu Xuan is a lustful fellow.
When he didn't mention Diao Chan, Lu Xuan looked hesitant and unwilling to express his position.
When it came to Diao Chan, Lu Xuan changed his mind.
This guy really forgets his duty.
Cao Cao felt contempt in his heart and completely forgot what his own nature was like? He sat up straight, smiled and said, "Xiang Xiang, I am all ears."
Lu Xuan said: "With the wisdom of my father-in-law, calm down and you should understand. Let the soldiers study and teach these big guys. It cannot be completed overnight. It requires a long period of accumulation and time to settle."
"Studying among the soldiers under my command was promoted from the very beginning. There were not many people at that time, only 800. As the army under my command expanded, reading was also promoted in a wider scope. By this year, it has been about a year."
“That’s why it’s this big.”
"If my father-in-law wants to implement it, he can only start it bit by bit and implement it step by step."
Lu Xuan said: "At most, in order to attract soldiers, my father-in-law offered some benefits. Those who can read, read, and recite the art of war will be given spiritual, material, and official awards. With various bonuses, as long as the soldiers start studying , it can be implemented slowly. It is impossible to roll it out in one breath."
After hearing this, Cao Cao's brows widened.
He was a little pushy.
Previously, he wanted to promote it on a large scale. Now after listening to Lu Xuan's words, he thought about it and felt that it was impossible for everyone to read and write at once, and it could only be done on a small scale.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Xian son-in-law, I understand. Thank you very much."
Lu Xuandao: "Father-in-law, you're welcome."
Cao Cao stopped staying, got up, said goodbye, and left. He was going to arrange his studies.
Cao Cao left Lu Xuan and Lu Meng in the camp. Lu Meng followed Lu Xuan as his personal entourage. When he saw Cao Cao's leaving figure, he looked worried and said, "My lord told Cao Cao our military training method, which is equivalent to Become an enemy. When Cao Cao trains countless soldiers, won't he become our enemy?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "Our military training method is not a secret. You can find out if you inquire about it."
"Besides, it's not that easy for Cao Cao to get his soldiers to study."
"I was able to implement it in Lujiang County because there were only a small number of people at the beginning, only 800 people. It was Gong Jin who forcibly arranged the implementation at the beginning. It took a lot of effort to teach our first batch of literate students. soldiers."
“With a foundation, we can continue to snowball and grow to the current scale.”
"Besides, the relationship between the big family of Lujiang County and me is pretty good, so no one will stop us from implementing it. Even if someone blocks it or even rebels, I have enough power to suppress it."
"Those are the keys."
"Cao Cao's place is different."
"Cao Cao's intention is definitely to cultivate more of his own people to replace the oppression of the big clans. However, such an arrangement will be resisted by the big clans. If Cao Cao implements it after unification, it will be okay. Or Cao Cao has no worries about implementing it. , and there’s no problem.”
"Cao Cao does not have both conditions."
"Yuan Shao, who is north of Cao Cao, seems to have a good relationship with Cao Cao, and he has always been eyeing him. If Cao Cao really wants to implement it, even if he continues to implement it, it may cause fear and conflict in the future."
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed and he said: "If we are one step ahead, we will lead step by step. There is no need to be afraid that Cao Cao will do the same. In the end, it is not the soldiers who study that matter. What books the soldiers read is the most important thing."
Lu Meng said piously: "My lord is wise."
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "You go to rest early and recuperate. We are here to help Cao Cao, actually to make profits. This is our fundamental purpose. You have to look at the problem in this direction to analyze it clearly. "
"Here!"
Lu Meng bowed and turned around to retreat.
Lu Xuan also had a smile on his face. Cao Cao was very powerful and could see at a glance the benefits of studying for his soldiers in the army, but the situation was different.
Honey to me, arsenic to him.
If Cao Cao wants to learn, it may not be beneficial.
