Taishan soldiers marched north, and the news swept across the Central Plains like a whirlwind.
The soldiers and horses under Wang Yu's command were very mixed, coming from all over the world, and they had different identities in the past. In terms of quantity, the main force was mainly Hanoi County soldiers.
However, the world still prefers to call Wang Yu's army Taishan Soldiers, because this army is famous all over the world because of its generals. Almost no one pays attention to this army itself. Even if someone mentions it occasionally, it is mostly
The number of troops is just an argument for predicting victory or defeat.
"He has a total of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Now Xu Rong has more than 30,000 soldiers, many of whom are elites from the Northern Army. His troops are also stable. The art of war says: All warfighters use the right combination to win by surprise. The enemy leads the crowd with dignity.
When the enemy comes, Wang Pengju uses a weak force to fight against him. He cannot make surprises, and surprises are unlikely to be effective. How can he win this battle?"
"There is an old saying: A arrogant soldier will be defeated. It refers to a person like Wang Pengju. He has taken risks many times and always got lucky. Therefore, this time he is just trying to make money and gain fame!"
"What Brother Cai said is that from a certain point of view, maybe he will not continue to move forward when he reaches Luyang, and it is just a pretense."
Although the tone was pretending to be mature, one could tell from the sound that the people participating in the discussion were just a group of teenagers. It might be a bit reluctant to say that they were teenagers, because there were many boys present who had not tied up their hair. If they changed their Confucian uniforms and put down their clothes,
With pens, ink, silk fans in their hands, and lollipops picked up like their peers, they are no different from the urchins playing on the street.
There is only one kind of place in today's world where so many little adults can gather together to talk about world affairs, and that is the school set up by celebrities.
Schools in this era were all private in nature, and were set up by famous celebrities in their own residences, with or without taking care of the food.
If you think you have the ability to pass the examination, or if you are related to a famous person who opened a school, you can send your children to come, or you can study there yourself.
At that time, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan both studied in the school of the great scholar Lu Zhi, so they had the status of classmates.
Since the first year of Zhongping, the world has been in chaos, and it is difficult for celebrities to protect themselves. How can they bother to open classes? As a result, schools in various places have been abandoned one after another. Only Jingzhou and Jiangdong, which were not affected by the war, still maintain their
to its former size.
Jiangdong in this era was relatively backward, with a small population and fewer famous people. It was far inferior to the land of Jingxiang where the world's elite gathered.
Jingxiang, especially Nanjun, has many celebrities, schools everywhere, and the results of leading education are not obvious at the moment, but ten years later, rising stars in Jingxiang have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they are proud of the Central Plains. Only then did Liu Huangshu come.
The salted fish turns over.
Among the many schools in Jingxiang, one is highly praised by the world and recognized as the best in the world. This is Lumenshan School!
"What you say seems reasonable, but in fact it is extremely superficial. If the outcome of a war can be determined by the size of the army alone, then why fight? Wouldn't it be enough for each side to send an envoy to count the heads of the other side?
The party with the few will admit defeat. The party with the many will win directly. How much less killing and hatred will be saved in this world!"
Most schoolchildren are not optimistic about Wang Yu. However, in a school like Lumen Mountain, even young children will have very unique and even sophisticated opinions when debating, and the public opinion is not one-sided.
"Who am I? Isn't this Mr. Pang's stupid nephew? Why, are you also interested in world affairs? Do you want to argue with me? OK, but if you lose, don't blame us for bullying you.
If you are good at talking, you can bully others if you have more people, let alone complain to your husband!"
"This battle really affects people's hearts. Even A Chou, who has never spoken, is so concerned. It's a pity that A Chou rarely expresses your opinion, but you are so wrong."
After seeing the person speaking clearly, all the schoolchildren burst into laughter. Due to the identity of this child, they did not dare to say too much, but the contempt in the title was obvious.
"Don't laugh, either. A few days ago, Mr. Shui Jing once praised A Chou, praising him for his talent and talent, and that he would become the number one celebrity in the south of the Yangtze River in the future! Today's A Chou is very different from the past."
"A secret show, hehe, with A Chou's honor, I can only show off, otherwise what can I do?"
"Please stop making trouble. Can Mr. Shui Jing's words be taken seriously? Don't you know that Mr. Shui Jing is known as a good gentleman? Whatever people ask him, he always says yes, okay. Even his wife asked him this,
He also said: It’s good for you to say so. He said A Chou is good, do you believe it?”
The laughter became louder. The schoolboy being laughed at was indeed not good-looking, with thick eyebrows and a raised nose, small eyes and a big mouth.
In this era, it is very common to judge people based on appearance. If you are ugly, you will not be liked by people, let alone as an official, even as a staff member. If you are ugly, you will be looked down upon by others, and your self-confidence will be low. No wonder this schoolboy is not good at talking.
At this moment, he was laughed at by everyone, and his face turned red with anxiety, but he was speechless.
"Mencius said: People must insult themselves, and others will insult them. You laugh at scholars, but you only use gossip and gossip. You are not aware of your own humiliation. How can you still have the face to stand under Lumen Mountain?
?”
He couldn't refute it himself, but someone helped him. Amidst the roar of laughter, a schoolboy younger than him stood next to him, raised his voice and spoke with a solemn expression, which instantly suppressed the noise of the crowd.
"Kong Ming, you come to report injustice again!"
"Justice is in the heart of the people. To report injustice is to follow nature. Why not? Do you dare to call Mr. Shui Jing in front of him? If anyone dares, Liang will apologize to him in person. How about that?" No.
Diamonds, how can they dare to take over the work of porcelain? This person’s words are much sharper in fighting injustices.
"..." All the schoolchildren looked at each other, how dare they respond?
Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, is a well-known and respected person. He is named after Pang Degong, the lord of this place. It is not an exaggeration to say that one word can determine a person's future. Their family background is extraordinary, and the elders in the family can naturally talk and laugh at will, but how can they have this qualification?
There is no need for Sima Hui to say anything himself, as long as the rumor gets out, their future can be ruined with just one sentence of irreverence and insolence.
"Kong Ming, you said that what we talked about was just gossip. Then tell me, where did we go wrong? Isn't Shiyuan right again?"
"Isn't what Shiyuan said right?"
"Of course that's not true! The outcome of a war cannot be determined solely by the size of the army. However, if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, the enemy must be a mediocre general who can make low-level mistakes, such as Song Xianggong did to Hongshui, and Zhao Kuo of Zhao State did
Changping, if Zhao does not change generals in the battle of Changping, with Lian Po's stability, how can Bai Qi be able to defeat Zhao's army no matter how strong he is?"
"You only know one but not the other!"
Zhuge Liang took out a fan from somewhere, fanned it a few times like Pang Degong, and said leisurely: "The charm of the art of war lies in its unpredictability. Before Zhao Kuo, Bai Qi, and Lian Po had been confronting each other, and there was no decisive battle yet. What do you think?" How can we determine who wins and who loses? Only when the enemy is a mediocre general can we defeat more with less? You only know about Zhao Kuo and Song Xiang, but how come you don’t know about Sun Bin and Pang Juan?"
There are no certain rules for teaching in this era. Teachers can teach whatever they want, and these students are also influenced by it at home. Therefore, they are also familiar with some military strategies, but in more serious terms, who can compare with reading a book and reading ten lines at a glance, only looking at the general outline, but actually Zhuge Liang has a photographic memory?
In the pairing of Sun Bin and Pang Juan, Pang Juan has always been a foil and a villain, but in fact Pang Juan was one of the few famous generals in the Warring States Period.
"Pang Juan led the Wei army. He pushed Handan to the north and surrounded Dingyang to the west. He almost brought half of Zhao into the Wei territory. After Guiling, he even recovered all the lost land in Hexi..."
Zhuge Liang made an impassioned speech, and his words were resounding: "Who dares to treat mediocre generals as such? However, Sun Bin was more skilled. He added more troops and reduced the number of troops to confuse the enemy. He surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao to mobilize the enemy. In the end, he defeated the many with less and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop! This, Isn’t this a classic example of meeting an opponent in chess and meeting a talented person?”
"Now that General Wang is leading his army northward, you are declaring victory or defeat before the battle is fought. If General Wang wins the battle one day, and you are still talking today, how can you not humiliate yourself? What's more, when General Wang goes north, how can he be like Sun Wentai? Is it just selfishness? He went north to serve the king and save the country. Even if he is outnumbered, we should pray and praise him well and wish him victory. How can there be any reason to curse him in turn? "
He cited scriptures and finally raised the issue to the level of patriotism. How could the children argue with him? They were all dumbfounded, but refused to be convinced. They all said: "He is right, he is right every time." , we can’t deal with him, so we can just let him go and ignore him.”
With that said, they all dispersed. Xiao Zhuge Liang won the victory with his eloquent speech, but he only won Pang Tong's friendship and was abandoned by everyone. It's really hard to say the pros and cons of this.
Of course, he didn't care about it himself. He had experienced this kind of thing many times, so he just regarded it as a scene that he had to experience to stand out from the crowd, and didn't take it seriously at all.
"It is true that Jingxiang has outstanding people. A little boy, not yet ten years old, can make such grand remarks and speak eloquently, which makes me feel sad. Guangyuan, at your age, you and I can do this." See eloquence?”
The students in the school are not just teenagers and young children, there are also many older ones, and there are even people who are already well-known and successful in their studies. For example, Situ Cui Lie's son, Cui Jun, also named Zhou Ping, died in the school. Famous. These people are older and will not join the debates of the teenagers, but this does not prevent them from expressing their opinions and expressing their feelings about what they see and hear.
The speaker was a young man less than twenty years old. His companion was about the same age as him, and he also had a look of amazement on his face at this moment.
"I'm fine. Although it's not as good as it is, it's about the same. But when you were your age, Yuan Zhi, you could only wield a sword and a gun! Let alone an ancient like Pang Juan, I'm afraid you don't even know Pang Degong."
"The sage said: You are just spitting on me, you are making fun of me, I only praise you, now I am really diligent. The sage also said: The prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he returns, I..."
"Okay, Yuan Zhi, stop quoting the classics randomly. God knows which saint said these words... Don't forget, this is Lumen Mountain. If you talk nonsense again, be careful of being kicked out by Pang Degong.
"
"Guangyuan, why don't we make a bet?"
"You want to gamble again? Be careful, I will tell my aunt and let her punish you!"
"Hey, you don't want to gamble, let's bet on the battle in Luoyang. If General Wang wins, you will go with me to surrender in front of his army; if he loses, but saves his life, then I will go alone.
,how?"
"You're here again!"
The man named Guangyuan was angry: "It's you who caused trouble and killed people in Yingchuan; it's you who came to Jingzhou to study and make progress; two months ago, I heard about the internal strife among the princes in Guandong. I lamented that people's hearts are unpredictable, the world is difficult and dangerous, and I want to go back to the countryside and be proud of the mountains and forests.
It’s still you, Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi! Now, you’re going to join the army again! Did you make a mistake? You have to go by yourself, don’t drag me along!”
"Brother Guangyuan, we are two brothers in the same generation. Of course we have to share the joys and sorrows. How can I have the nerve to dominate the world by myself and leave you alone in the cold wind in Lumen Mountain?"
"Don't do this! I don't know you yet? You just want to find a companion. If Kong Ming and Shi Yuan weren't too young, you might have dragged them along. Again, if you want to go, just go
Go by yourself and don't bother me. If you insist on going, I will stay in Jingzhou to help you support your aunt. If you really succeed in the future, then..."
"Brother Guangyuan, you are indeed my confidant!"
"Don't hug me, don't cry, wow, don't rub your nose on me!"
