At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 137 Lectures at Sizhou Military Academy
Sizhou Military Academy.

"Mu Ying, why hasn't the adoptive father come yet? It's been two hours!" Xu Sima raised his head and looked into the distance weakly on tiptoe.

Mu Ying curled her lips and said, "You ask me, how do I know? Didn't I stay with you all the time?"

Xu Sima: "."

Xu Sima turned his head to Lan Yu, who was a head taller than them, and said, "Brother Lan, do you know why foster father hasn't come yet?"

Lan Yu replied casually: "Who knows? Maybe the general is discussing things at this time. Or maybe he hasn't woken up yet!"

"How is it possible? My adoptive father got up very early!" Xu Sima retorted.

Lan Yu glanced at Xu Sima, then rolled her eyes, "Yesterday, I heard that the general got up very late!"

When Xu Sima and Mu Ying heard this, their faces turned red.

They didn't want to say that the adoptive father and adoptive mother hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they whispered a lot to each other.

These were told by the ugly lady in the mansion.

They still remembered the mysterious look on Chou Niang's face when she told them this.

And said they didn't understand.

Wait until they grow up to understand.

From Xu Sima and Mu Ying's point of view, it was because Chou Niang underestimated them.

What they don't understand, isn't it just whispering?I don't understand anything.

They often whisper to each other.

So, it's clearly an excuse for Chou Niang!
Besides, they are very smart. According to Mr. Hu and Mr. Song, they are astute people.

"Brother Lan, why is the smile on your face so obscene?" Xu Sima looked at Lan Yu and said.

Sapphire's smile visibly froze.

Soon, Lan Yu waved her hand and said, "Let's play, I really have nothing to say to you. I'll talk about it when you grow up. I'll tell you now, but you won't understand it."

Mu Ying suddenly said: "Brother Lan didn't tell us, how did he know that we didn't understand? Maybe we know more than Brother Lan! Both Xu Sima and I have been praised by Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang said that we are better than Lan. Brother, be smart."

Lan Yu's face darkened, looking at Mu Ying's sincere appearance, Lan Yu's heart was full of resentment towards Fang Ming.

Lan Yu said in her heart: Mr. Fang, I gave you a lot of good wine, why did you tell Mu Ying and Xu Sima behind my back that I was not as good as them?

Hmph, I, Sapphire, completely defeated them in terms of force.

In terms of wisdom, I have memorized both "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "The Analects of Confucius". How could I not be as good as Mu Ying and Xu Sima?

Perhaps Mr. Fang didn't want to offend Mu Ying, Xu Sima and the others.

Lan Yu was thinking about this in her heart, looked at Mu Ying and Xu Sima from time to time, and said to herself: These two little brats are really lucky to be recognized as adopted sons by the general.

Forgive Sapphire's clumsy eyesight, but he really didn't see any difference between these two children.

He speculated that perhaps the general recognized the two children as adopted sons because of their hardships.

After all, the general has always been kind.

At this point, Lan Yu didn't worry about it anymore, she just put her hands on her chest and pretended to close her eyes and rest her mind.

Mu Ying and Xu Sima looked at each other in blank dismay.

They saw that Sapphire ignored them, and the two began to whisper.

Because they are both sitting cross-legged on the ground, both of them can let go.

"Mu Ying, do you think foster father will test our homework recently?" Xu Sima looked worried.

Mu Ying glanced sideways at Xu Sima, feeling a little worried in her heart.

Mu Ying patted her chest, pretending to be proud and said: "What are you afraid of? Didn't the master teach us everything down?"

Xu Sima suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Mu Ying, feeling unbelievable.

"Mu Ying, didn't you tell me before that you are just like me, you only memorized a few sentences, and you forgot the rest?"

Hearing Xu Sima's words, Mu Ying's face was a little uneasy.

Especially, Sapphire was still there.

Mu Ying said anxiously: "How is that possible? I was just comforting you. If I hadn't seen you unhappy, I wouldn't have lied to you like this!"

Xu Sima looked at Mu Ying blankly, his heart was gloomy.

Originally, he thought that he and Mu Ying were at the same level, half-baked.

It never occurred to him that Mu Ying was lying to him.

Xu Sima was a little sad.

He felt the gap between himself and Mu Ying.

At this time, Lan Yu seemed to have opened her eyes, and said eccentrically, "Oh, I didn't expect that you, Mu Ying, comfort people like this. It's really beyond my expectation! Children are the worst!"

Muying heard Lan Yu's ridicule, and immediately replied: "You must have heard it wrong. What Mr. Fang should have said is sweet talk and sensuality, and clever talk is sweet talk, pretending to be pleasant, I have never heard of it before." There is such a saying as a clever child. By the way, Brother Lan, do you really understand "The Analects of Confucius"? Why do I feel that the "Analects of Confucius" that Brother Lan learned is a bit different from the "Analects of Confucius" I learned."

Sapphire said angrily, "What's the difference? The words are all the same. What's the difference between what you see and what I see?"

Seeing Lan Yu getting angry at the slightest disagreement, Mu Ying was stunned.

Brother Lan, why didn't he listen to the persuasion at all?

Also, why does Mr. Fang always have a regrettable look when he talks about Big Brother Lan.

It's kind of like being angry.

Xu Sima glanced at Mu Ying, and Mu Ying casually said something that her husband seemed to have taught her.

It seems that what Mu Ying just said was not lying.

It turned out that Muying had strengthened him so much.

If the adoptive father tested their homework, it must be that Mu Ying received more praise from the adoptive father, while he received less praise from the adoptive father.

Thinking of this, his mood became even more depressed.

He felt a little ashamed to face his adoptive father.

Xu Sima lowered his head, stared at the ground, and just stood there in silence.

Not a word.

Mu Ying glanced at Xu Sima, opened her mouth, and didn't know how to comfort her partner for a while.

Could it be that Xu Sima, are you really not as good as me?

If so, he would lose his partner.

But he didn't want to lose this partner.

He thought, talk to him again in the evening, and believe that Xu Sima will forgive him.

After reading this, Mu Ying no longer worries about this matter, but looks forward to the appearance of her adoptive father.

He thought that if his adoptive father came to teach later, he must behave well.

In this way, he wants to tell his adoptive father that he, Mu Ying, is really studying hard.

Moreover, what he wanted more in his heart was to be affirmed by his adoptive father.

Thinking of the scene of being praised by her adoptive father, Mu Ying grinned so much that the corners of her mouth parted.

Lan Yu saw Mu Ying's smile in her eyes, and thought: Hmph, is this smile mocking me?

This little Muying kid is really unpleasant!
Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as him, after all, I am an adult, and only adults are a man if they have a lot.

This is what his brother-in-law often said.

At this moment, Mu Ying suddenly said: "Father finally came!"

After hearing this, Sapphire hurriedly got up and looked in one direction.

Xu Sima anxiously looked at the adoptive father who was getting closer.

He was thinking, if the adoptive father asked him and he couldn't answer, would the adoptive father dislike him?

When He Jiusi saw Cheng De's figure appear, he immediately said loudly: "Everyone, stand up and stand up for me!"

soon.

Under He Jiusi's shout, Lan Yu and the others stood upright with their heads held high.

When Cheng De, Li Xiaoci and his group arrived in front of He Jiusi, He Jiusi hurriedly brought Cheng De to a high platform in front of three thousand students.

This high platform is four feet seven feet seven inches long, five feet nine feet two inches wide, and three feet three feet three inches high.

Cheng De stood on the high platform, and the three thousand students of Sizhou Military Academy under the high platform looked up at him.

Cheng De had a gentle smile on his face: "A general is the commander of the army. He Jiusi told me that you all want to be a famous general. Tell me, are these true?"

There was only silence and stillness in response to Cheng De.

Cheng De put away his smile and said: "Could it be that you are just talking casually. It seems that I think highly of you! I thought you were all upright men, but now you don't even dare to admit what you said. Are they all cowards? It really disappoints me!"

Sapphire was not convinced, and was the first to speak out: "General, I am not a coward. I want to tell the general that I, Sapphire, will definitely become a famous general in the future! Everyone present can testify that I, Sapphire, alone Spit a nail, say one thing."

When Cheng De heard Lan Yu's words, he looked at him in surprise, Cheng De smiled and clapped his hands in praise: "It seems that there are still some cowards."

"General, I am not a coward, I will become a great general!"

"General, I'm not a coward! I want to be a great general!"

Cheng De was not angry when his words were suddenly interrupted.

On the contrary, he felt relieved.

He felt that the Sizhou Military Academy was not built in vain.

Cheng De lightly raised his hand, and the students below all fell silent, looking up at him with their heads raised.

Seeing this, Cheng De said calmly, "Today, I'm here to give you a lecture. Everyone should know me, right?"

"Know!!"

"Know!!"

"Know!!"

Cheng De raised his hand again, and everyone fell silent, staring at Cheng De with bated breath.

Cheng De continued: "You all want to become a great general. Let me tell you, what should you do from now on if you want to become a great general? Also, what conditions do you need to fulfill if you want to become a great general? And how do I achieve these conditions? I will tell you about these next. I hope you will keep them in mind.”

Having said that, Cheng De paused.

After a while.

Cheng De: "If you want to become a great general, you must know the art of war. Where should you learn this art of war? I think there are four ways to learn this art of war."

Everyone pricked up their ears and their eyes were burning.

Li Xiaoci on the side was also attracted, staring at Cheng De without blinking his eyes wide open.

"First, learn from books. At present, the art of war in my Sizhou Military Academy is only "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Everyone must study this book. It is best to memorize this book completely and engrave it in your mind. Not now Understanding is not important, but you must memorize them all. When you go to the battlefield in the future, I believe that you will gradually understand."

"Secondly, learn from those of us who have rich battlefield experience. We have all been on the battlefield, such as me, who have experienced countless battles. Every time I fight, I will think about this battle and what I have learned. Then I will think about what I have learned, and then use what I have learned on the next battlefield. Let me give you an example, Zhang San has 100 people, and he wants to fight Li Si with 1000 people. 100 people against 1000 people, They don’t have an advantage in numbers. But the people led by Zhang San have experienced many battles and can stand up to ten, while the 1000 people led by Li Si have just been assembled.”

"Tell me, can the 100 people led by Zhang San beat the 1000 people led by Li Si?"

"Yes!!!" Everyone responded loudly, their faces flushed.

"Your answers are both right and wrong." Cheng De said lightly.

Everyone below looked at Cheng De suspiciously.

"If Zhang San is a person who is greedy for life and fears death and often beats and scolds soldiers, and Li Si is a person who can share weal and woe with soldiers, set an example and is not afraid of death, you say that the people Zhang San leads can beat Li Si 1000 people with you?"

Everyone below was stunned on the spot, silent there.

"Let me tell you, this can't be done. A general on the battlefield can lead his soldiers to victory only if he has the courage not to fear death. If a general is already thinking about life and death before fighting, then he must be on the battlefield. You won’t have the courage to charge forward. In this case, what morale do you let the soldiers around you fight? Courage is also there. One effort, then decline, and three exhaustion. What do you think about what I said?”

After a while.

Sapphire raised her hand, and Cheng De nodded.

Lan Yu said loudly: "General, I think that as a general, you must not be cowardly. In terms of courage, you can only be qualified as a general if you surpass the soldiers. If you dare not rush forward in battle, it's not bad." What kind of general, why don't you go home and embroider!"

Sapphire's answer obviously ignited the atmosphere present.

For a while, everyone started talking.

Cheng De nodded towards Lan Yu, then looked at the other people present: "The rest of you, do you have anything else to say?"

"I!! I!!" Everyone shouted loudly.

Cheng De casually pointed to a person and said, "Let it be up to you!"

The person who did not point was extremely excited, and replied nervously: "General, I think that as a general, soldiers should be of the same heart with the general. In peacetime, the general should lead by example, be able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and treat the soldiers well!"

Cheng De smiled, clapped his hands and praised: "That's right! What's your name?"

"Report to General, my name is Luo Sanhu!!"

Luo Sanhu?Um?
Cheng De took a fixed look, and found that this person's facial features were very similar to Luo Erhu's.

Thinking of this, Cheng De has a bottom line in his mind.

He didn't expect that this person turned out to be Luo Erhu's son.

He secretly remembered Luo Sanhu, and then said with a smile: "Luo Sanhu, you are very good, I am very optimistic about you! I believe you will become a great general in the future!"

Luo Sanhu was so excited that he clenched his fist and waved, "Thank you general for your approval. I, Luo Sanhu, will definitely become a great general!"

Seeing this, Cheng De gave Luo Sanhu a satisfied look.

Cheng De looked away, but suddenly saw a figure who kept jumping and raising his hands.

After looking closely, he realized that this person was Mu Ying.

So, Cheng De laughed and said: "The person who keeps jumping and raising his hands, you say it!!"

When Mu Ying heard what her adoptive father said, her expression became embarrassing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mu Ying wished she could get into a crack.

However, when he thought of his own answer, he could satisfy his adoptive father.

He felt that this embarrassment was bearable.

So, Mu Ying said loudly: "Reporting to the general, I think that for the generals, we must use our strengths to avoid weaknesses, and we must send scouts to collect intelligence on the enemy, and we must clearly distinguish rewards and punishments. Once you reach these, you will be victorious in all battles!"

Cheng De looked at Mu Ying with relief, and thought to himself: The future can be expected.

Cheng De nodded: "Not bad!"

When Mu Ying heard Cheng De's affirmation, although there were only two words, he felt very happy in his heart.

The smile on his face was extremely bright.

Xu Sima on the side was in a hurry.

He thought to himself: Why did Mu Ying say everything I wanted to say? No, I must think about it quickly.

Xu Sima was quick to gain wisdom, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

So, he hurriedly raised his hand high, and kept waving it with great effort.

After Cheng De clicked on the other two people one after another, he saw Xu Sima's figure.

Without the slightest hesitation, he asked Xu Sima to speak.

When Xu Sima heard his adoptive father call his name, his heart was extremely excited.

He forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, and thought for a while: "Reporting to the general, I think that as a general, you must consider your interests. You must fight good battles, and don't fight bad ones. For example, if you fight a battle, if you If it can bring benefits to the country and the people, then it should be fought. If a war is fought, nothing will be gained and national power will be wasted. I think such a battle is unnecessary. Soldiers are a major event in a country, a place of life and death. , the way of survival. This sentence comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and I think it speaks best."

"Also, if you really want to decide to fight, when you lead the army to fight for the general, you should be as swift as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as invading as the fire, as immovable as a mountain, as difficult to know as the cloud, and as moving as the thunder!"

Cheng De looked at Xu Sima in surprise.

He has always been aware of how Xu Sima and Mu Ying are studying their homework.

These are all the information recorded by Jin Yiwei for him to read.

Xu Sima is much worse than Mu Ying in terms of study.

He didn't expect that this Xu Sima gave him a surprise.

He nodded towards Xu Sima and praised: "That's right, well said!"

After that, Cheng De let more than a dozen people continue to speak one after another before giving up.

Then, Cheng De said: "In my opinion, you all spoke well. At the end, I will make a summary for this lecture."

Everyone looked at Cheng De one after another, their eyes full of expectation.

Cheng De said: "All wars are inseparable from politics, economy, personnel, weapons, and terrain. This is my current understanding of wars. I hope you will appreciate this sentence in the future, and keep it in your hearts. "

After everyone listened, they lowered their heads, murmured, and fell into deep thought.

But Cheng De greeted Li Xiaoci with his eyes, then quietly left the scene and returned to the General's Mansion.
