Chapter 224 Asking for advice in the middle of the night
Cao Cao returned to the military camp.
In the Chinese army's tent, oil lamps were lit to disperse the darkness.
Not long after, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun all arrived.
This is the core direct lineage of Cao Cao.
Today, Cao Cao relies on people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Although Cao Cao has other generals who are very important to him, such as Yue Jin, Yu Jin and others, these people are not the core.
Especially now that Yanzhou is in turmoil and at a critical moment, Cao Cao is even more cautious.
Cao Cao looked at everyone with a serious face and said slowly: "Just now, I visited Lu Xuan's camp and saw Lu Xuan's soldiers."
Xiahou Dun smiled and said: "My lord, are the soldiers from Yangzhou and Jiangnan weak?"
Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "I don't know whether they are weak or not. I only know that Lu Xuan's soldiers are extremely good at fighting. The key is that all soldiers can read and write. Have you ever thought that all nine thousand elites can read. Like this
Can you defeat our army?"
After everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
There was astonishment on every face.
Even more incredible.
"Hahaha……"
Xiahou Dun was the first to laugh. He curled his lips with a look of disbelief and said, "My lord, Lu Xuan is really full and has nothing to do. As long as the top soldiers in the army dare to fight and kill, let them study.
It’s useless.”
"People who study have more ideas and have other ideas, and they will be greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Reading is of no use."
"In my opinion, what Lu Xuan did is just a beggar's vigil, which is unnecessary."
Xiahou Dun looked disdainful and said: "What's more, I don't believe that Lu Xuan's soldiers can read. I'm afraid Lu Xuan expected that you were going, so he deliberately staged this array to scare you."
"You know shit."
Cao Cao rolled his eyes, glared at Xiahou Dun, and scolded: "You think studying is useless, so when you have nothing to do, you go to ask knowledgeable people for advice. What are you doing?"
Xiahou Dun curled his lips and said, "My lord, how can this be the same? I am asking for advice from famous people, people who are capable and able to govern the place. These big-headed soldiers are completely different."
Cao Cao said: "Shut up."
Xiahou Dun smiled and stopped talking.
Xiahou Dun admired Cao Cao ten thousand times. This was a friendship that started when he was young.
Cao Cao looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Why is Lu Xuan's arrangement so powerful? It's because all the soldiers in the army have read. Once these people go to the battlefield, they can continue to sharpen and transform the most unfamiliar military tactics they have memorized into
own knowledge."
"When promoting generals in the army, the first thing to look for is martial prowess, because this is the most direct."
"This selection is very slow."
"According to Lu Xuan's adjustment, if the generals can study and have courage, such people will be the awl in the bag and will quickly stand out. Once a large number of generals stand out, there will be a large number of capable centurions and commanders.
The song is as long as this."
"It will be easier for us to promote generals and captains."
Cao Cao talked eloquently and said: "Do you understand what I just said? Talents can also be cultivated in the army."
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Hou said: "My lord, studying is not easy. These big-headed soldiers are all big and thick, and they have no problem shouting and killing. But they are just pig brains and lumps of elm wood. It is impossible for them to study.
It can’t turn.”
Cao Hong nodded and said: "I second my humble opinion. It is very difficult to teach a big-headed soldier, and it is even impossible to do it at all."
Cao Cao snorted and said, "We can't do it, so why can Lu Xuan's men do it? Could it be that my soldiers under Cao Cao are more stupid? Or maybe my soldiers, Cao Cao's soldiers, are incomparable to Lu Xuan's men. My soldiers are worse than Lu Xuan's men."
Lu Xuan's soldiers are more stupid. Does this mean that my generals are also stupider than Lu Xuan's generals?"
Xiahou Dun smiled and said: "Lord, the truth is different."
"The shit is different."
Cao Cao cursed again. He flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "What Lu Xuan can do, my people can do too. I want all soldiers to read, so that they can also recite the art of war and become my talents.
"
Xiahou Dun scratched his head, feeling embarrassed for a moment.
It is too difficult and very energy-consuming to make Datoubing study.
Xiahou Dun looked at Xi Zhicai, looking for help, hoping that Xi Zhicai could help.
Xi Zhicai thought for a while and advised: "My lord, I thought about it for a while, it is impossible to reach the level of Lu Xuan. First, soldiers need countless scholars to learn and read. Where can we find so many people to teach them?
?”
"Second, many scholars despise those who teach soldiers because they think it is depravity."
"Thirdly, teaching so many people to read and read is equivalent to teaching a three-year-old child enlightenment. It will be difficult."
"We have to make arrangements, it's not easy."
"Lu Xuan's army can read and write, which seems good. But if we want to learn, it can't be done in just one sentence."
Xi Zhicai raised his hand and said: "The key now is to destroy Lu Bu. How can we have time to make the soldiers study? Because the matter of studying makes people panic, it is difficult to deal with it. If you can do it, you can do it.
, If you can't do it, just take it slow. Slow things down and things will go smoothly, don't rush."
Xia Houyuan said: "My lord, please give me a clear warning."
"Please, my lord, be clear about this."
Cao Ren and Cao Hong also spoke.
Everyone does not agree with the current promotion of reading, because it is not easy.
Cao Cao looked at the people who were resisting, he frowned, his dark face was very cold and solemn.
Everyone resists it because reading is difficult and cannot be completed easily. Even if it is a book called "The Art of War", many people will not be able to do it in their entire lives.
That's why reading is not easy.
Reading talents are precious.
Cao Cao knew that it was not easy and that it would be difficult to promote, but Cao Cao had different considerations.
If all his soldiers can read and understand the art of war, in the future, if he has a large number of scholars under his command, he will be able to arrange them to serve as local officials. Even his reliance on the big family will be weakened and he will not be controlled by the big family.
.
This is Cao Cao's consideration.
Xiahou Dun and others did not consider this, including Xi Zhicai.
Cao Cao couldn't say it directly.
This matter still needs to be dealt with slowly.
Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered: "Go down, I will think about it carefully."
"I resign from my humble position."
Xiahou Dun, Xi Zhicai and others all retreated.
Cao Cao thought about it for a while, but was still unwilling to accept it, so he took Dian Wei with him and walked directly towards Lu Xuan's camp.
Cao Cao entered Lu Xuan's army and saw Lu Xuan who had not yet rested. He clasped his hands and bowed and said: "Cao Cao has questions in his mind and came to visit late at night. Please give me your advice."
At this moment, Cao Cao behaved solemnly.
His address to Lu Xuan has also changed. It is no longer the way an elder looks at a younger generation, nor does he call him a good son-in-law, but the very formal title of Lu Shijun.
For a moment, Lu Xuan was a little surprised.
Lu Xuan returned the greeting and said, "My father-in-law salutes so solemnly, which offends me. If my father-in-law has any questions, just sit down and say, it doesn't have to be like this."
