Chapter 447: Everything is changing in a flash
"You will share the food and drinks made every day with the military academy members. I got up early in the morning and made them." In the dining room, Lelan Ji took a bowl of food and wine. The Shuiyin cake was brought to Shao Xun and he complained a little.
In the past ten days, government soldiers have gathered in Xuchang one after another. They have to meet with several military academies every day, issue official seals, give them a few words of encouragement, and then eat and drink with them to cultivate feelings.
“You don’t understand.” Shao Xun smiled and said nothing more.
Why do this? There was a reason why he not only received the officers but also chatted with the soldiers.
This is the army he built by himself, and of course it must be well maintained.
Be the founder of the army, not the successor. In these two cases, the levels of authority for the army are different.
The army he built from scratch has strong control. Not only is he kind to the officers, but he also chats with some soldiers, gives them rewards, and helps them solve some difficulties.
In addition, you often show your bravery in front of them, spend energy to remember their names, and give them a surprise - think about it, you are a penniless soldier, and the supreme commander actually knows your name and gives you a surprise. How do you feel about receiving a reward?
Legends about him have now begun to circulate in the army.
After a few more years of consolidation, he will be the god of this army, and no one can shake his status unless he dies.
But if his son inherits this army, the situation will be different.
There is no affection between the heirs and the officers and soldiers. They are only restrained by the system, and the authority level drops sharply.
Some people who are worried that their sons cannot control the army will even carry out a general purge, even if the combat effectiveness of the army is reduced.
One relies on the constraints of the system, and the other relies not only on the system, but also on the lubricant of kindness and affection. Which one is better and which one is worse is obvious.
But then again, it is difficult for the second generation to reach the level of the first generation.
Moreover, most of the first generation have not established enough prestige and kindness at all, and it will naturally become even more unstable after being passed on to the second generation.
Shao Xun is a self-made founder and provides favors to the soldiers. The more he does, the stronger the stability will be when he passes it on to his son in the future. After all, this world is not all filled with wolf-hearted people. There are many people. Those who will remember his kindness and are willing to protect his descendants, as long as the descendants do not act rebelliously.
"I am saving money for my children, do you understand?" After eating the Shuiyin cake, Shao Xun put down his chopsticks and asked, "Where is the golden knife?"
" Go learn the words." Le Lanji said.
"You can read at the age of five. Are all the children of the gentry so miserable?" Shao Xun asked curiously.
Le Lanji said with a matter-of-fact attitude: "Although there are many children of scholars who are incompetent, it is true that they should start learning at the age of five or six."
"What is the teaching? ?"
"Lang Jun also teaches "Poetry" in addition to "The Thousand Character Classic". Speaking of this, Lan Ji added: "I teach it according to the rules of Le's private school." Learning "Poetry" at a young age does not mean knowing a few words, but the main thing is knowing more about the names of mountains, rivers and trees. "
Shao Xun suddenly understood.
It turns out that private education from aristocratic families is very particular. The younger children knew that they could not settle down, so he taught "Poetry" and took them out to play. They could identify the plants and trees mentioned in "Poetry" and deepen their impression.
When they are a little older, while continuing to study "Poetry", they begin to intersperse the study of "Li", mainly to let them understand the rules of human relations.
Anyway, this is how Le Lanji learned it, and she had someone bring the finely annotated versions of "Poetry", "Li", "Yi", "Lao", "Zhuang", etc. from her home in Nanyang Books, and even collections of essays and calligraphy posts left by her father Le Guang - Le Guang had some academic attainments and was also a master of calligraphy.
After listening, Shao Xun felt that the cost of this education model was too high and it was impossible to promote it.
The teaching materials of each school are also different.
Some large families who devote themselves to scholarship have a relatively deep foundation and can easily collect tens of thousands of books.
Sometimes they will open a library to teach - usually when they are older and resign and go into seclusion - at this time, people from several counties or even a state will often be in commotion, and there will often be tens of thousands of scholars seeking their reputation. Thousands of people.
The situation is not good for families with poor financial background. They have few books and do not know where they copied the textbooks. Some of them are scattered and lost, and there are errors and omissions. When debating with others, wrong things suddenly appear, which makes people laugh. .
Why is Wang Yan so good at debating? One is that he is eloquent, the other is shameless, but the most important thing is that his family has a rich collection of books. He also likes to read miscellaneous books and is involved in all aspects. When debating, throw out something that no one has heard of, and then point out where this argument or allusion comes from, making others feel ashamed.
"My son's literacy depends entirely on you as a mother. When he is a little older, I will teach him the art of military strategy." Shao Xun said.
"Where did Lang Jun learn it?" Le Lanji asked mischievously: "Is it really Professor Taibai Star?"
Shao Xun hugged her on his lap and deliberately She asked with a straight face: "Is Taibaixing powerful?"
Le Lanji blushed. She almost knocked her unconscious last night. Is it not powerful?
"I will send someone to copy a copy of the Le family's collection of books." Shao Xun added: "From now on, I, Shao, will draw on the strengths of other families to compile a complete set of books and make them available to students all over the world for copying. It's been hidden around the house, but in the end there are only a few knowledgeable people. It's really disgusting."
"Why should I give it to others? Just tell Jin Dao about it." Le Lan Ji was a little unhappy.
"Just do it for me." Shao Xun straightened the woman's slightly pouted mouth, making her giggle.
"Well, let me tell my eldest brother." Le Lanji agreed.
“That’s right.” Shao Xun said happily.
In the past, I only knew that Le Guang was powerful, but now I found out that he was a senior intellectual at the level of "university professor", and I was immediately in awe.
******
After breakfast, he began to deal with official business.
Joining the army, Li Chong came forward to ask for an attack on Shi Le.
The reason is that Shi Le fought a battle with Wang Jun at the end of last year. Although he won, his strength was damaged and he joined forces to attack.
As for why Shi Le lost a lot of strength after winning, the main reason is that he played a defensive counterattack routine.
Wang Jun united with Duan Bu Xianbei, dispatched tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and fought all the way to Yecheng, unstoppable.
But they got crazy and actually started to attack the fortified city. In the end, they suffered heavy casualties and lost all their spirit. When they retreated, they were chased by Shile's cavalry and returned in defeat. Shao Xun thought for a while and refused, letting Li Chong continue to farm in Puyang.
It's not that he doesn't want to engage Shi Le, it's mainly because the Silver Spear Army has not retreated yet and there are no soldiers available - strictly speaking, there are many soldiers, but there are too few infantry who can deal with the cavalry. Ordinary infantrymen go up and get killed.
The second copy is the seal written by Wang Queer.
Shao Xun looked at it and muttered: "This word is hopeless."
After reading it carefully, he learned that Liu Han had assembled an army after the beginning of spring and was stationed in the north of Hanoi. Pictured. There are also large groups of cavalry herding horses in the wild king, and from time to time they go outside the north city to spy.
This is wrong!
Shao Xun is a little strange. With Liu Cong's temper, shouldn't he gather a large army to besiege the three cities of Heyang?
He stood up, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and thought carefully.
Siege battles are the most brutal. The defenders can greatly consume the attacker's troops, supplies and morale, and then get the opportunity to turn defeat into victory - just when an opportunity arises, whether you can seize it or not depends on the details. .
He originally believed that even if the Xiongnu sacrificed tens of thousands of lives, they might not be able to capture the three cities of Heyang. At that time, he will mobilize the army and bring all the cavalry with him. Maybe they can rush to Shangdang at once.
But now Liu Cong doesn't force himself...
"It is not advisable to treat the enemy as a fool." Shao Xun smiled to himself and sat back, secretly wondering whether the Huns were going to A massive attack on Guanzhong.
At the end of last year, I heard that King Liu Yao of Zhongshan had led his troops to station in Feng Yi, and together with Shan Zheng's Di soldiers, they defeated Liang Zong and others' attack on Feng Yi.
It happened that Jia Tuan was killed by Peng Tianhu, and the two sides stopped fighting for a long time.
Now that I think about it, are the Huns planning to increase their troops in Guanzhong and invade Chang'an?
If this is the case, then he will have to adjust his strategy, because the enemy's strategy has undergone major changes.
“I can’t live in peace for a year.” He sighed, closed his eyes, and the mountains and rivers of Hanoi, Luoyang, Hongnong and other places were all in his mind.
Wang Mi is still easy to fight!
The terrain of Hanoi is flat and flat, which is conducive to cavalry.
The terrain in Hebei is also conducive to cavalry.
Hongnong is located in the mountainous area of western Henan, which is convenient for infantry operations.
But which troops to dispatch requires considerable consideration.
He stood up and walked around the room.
It is a pity that after Wang Zhang was captured last year, nothing valuable could be found out, otherwise the meeting would have been able to make strategic adjustments.
Should we withdraw the Silver Spear Zuoying? He hesitated.
Ordinarily, this unit has been out for a long time and it is time to withdraw and rest. However, the situation in Hanoi is unclear at this time, and a rash change of defense may be taken advantage of by the enemy.
That’s all, if you don’t decide, hit Wang Mi.
If you hit more, you might find clues.
Besides, last year Shi Le marched into Hongnong, and the Zhongwu Army suffered a huge defeat. The main force was annihilated. This revenge has not yet been avenged - of course Wang Mi will be avenged for Shi Le's sins.
"Shun Ling." Shao Xun shouted.
"Ming Gong." Cai Cheng walked in.
"Send this order to the shogunate, and the chief historian and the left and right sima will handle it together." Shao Xun handed him a written order and ordered.
"Promise." Cai Cheng put the order letter into the wooden box, bowed and left.
After Cai Cheng left, Shao Xun thought about it and decided to go to Luoyang.
Although the Forbidden Army is bad, they can't hide behind and do nothing. That will only make them worse. It's always good to be cannon fodder for sieges. If that doesn't work, then it's better to dismiss the matter.
As for whether mobilizing the imperial army will drive the emperor crazy, that is another matter, and it can be tested.
After making the decision, he checked the previous documents and carefully studied the battle situation in Fanguanzhong.
In general, Liu Han did not seem to invest the main force, probably because after Jinyang was recaptured by Tuoba Yilu, they were also under pressure and needed to be careful.
Actually, it is said that Henan was the place of the Four Wars, wasn’t Liu Han the same?
Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and each has its own difficulties.
There were footsteps outside the door, and soon, the soldiers delivered a letter.
Shao Xun reached out to take it and found that it was written by Lu Zhi.
He thought something was going on in the court. When he opened it, he was a little surprised.
Murong Xian's son Murong Han heard that Duan's Xianbei had been defeated, so he raised a large army and joined forces with Yuwen Xianbei to defeat the Duan family and capture tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and men.
This is not the point. The point is that Wang Jun hastily summoned the army to prepare to reinforce Duan Bu Xianbei.
Shao Xun thought for a long time.
The situation is changing rapidly.
