Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 746 Military Science
Cheng Bushi was very excited.

Because of his excitement, he didn't close his eyes all night.

When his wife got up to prepare breakfast for him, she looked exhausted, and said displeasedly: "Isn't it just going to military school? Why are you so excited? My beloved is a prince's confidant with military merits, and he is a prince who is appointed as a marquis and worships generals." Sooner or later, why are you in a hurry?"

Sitting in front of the case, Cheng Bushi frowned when he heard his wife's words, "What can you know, a woman? Although I have military achievements, how can I compare with many famous generals in the court? There is Mrs. Li from the Tang Dynasty. Wei, Nanyue King, General Xiahou and others come to teach, how much can I learn, but the crown prince said, once I finish the course of military science, let me lead an army, what is the ambition of being a Marquis? His Royal Highness is going to crusade against many disobedient ministers in the world, such as Anxi, this is the great ambition! There are many famous people who will teach me, why don't you think I am not excited?"

His wife glanced at him and scolded: "It's fine if you are so excited that you don't sleep, why do I stay up all night when I am tossing around?"

"Hey, it's quite boring to lie down, don't say such things during the day, get ready to eat!!"

Cheng Buzhi said quite seriously.

While cooking, my wife complained: "Last night, you were obedient to me, flattered me, and looked like a calf. Why did you start scolding me at dawn?"

Cheng Buzhi blushed, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm an imposing general."

Although the words were full of ridicule, his wife was really happy for him. Seeing Cheng Buzhi eating, she smiled and said, "I'm going to report today, so I should make more friends. Those friends of yours When I came to visit you, my husband kept a straight face and said nothing, which made them leave in embarrassment. This time, you can’t treat your classmates like this. You should make more friends with them. These people are from all over the world. It will definitely be beneficial to you to exchange ideas with them.”

Cheng Buzhi finished his meal quickly, bid farewell to his beloved wife triumphantly, and walked out of the house.

Today is the day when military studies will be reported. The quality of the first batch of military students is still very high. In order to increase their popularity and authority, the temple ordered that all places and armies recommend outstanding and meritorious talents. Military science, as a special recruitment.And Cheng Bushi was honored to be one of the first batch of students because of his achievements in being poisoned in the past. He was recommended by the prince, and Li Zuoche did not dare to refuse the prince and recruited him.

In fact, the military academy’s school grounds have not yet been built, only more than half of them have been built, and the various equipment inside are not perfect. When Cheng Bushi arrived here, he saw many students, most of whom were young faces. Here, speaking with various accents, he even saw a poisonous man, this poisonous man was full of excitement, talking and laughing with the people around him, speaking in a not-so-fluent dialect.

Cheng Bushi looked around in the crowd, but he didn't see any acquaintances. His eyes suddenly fell on an old man.

The man seemed quite old, with white hair all over his head. He stood far away from the students, and there was no one around him. Cheng Bushi was a little curious, so he couldn't help walking up.

"Student Cheng Buzhi pays homage to the sacrificial wine!"

Cheng Buzhi hurriedly paid obeisance to him, the man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, shaking his head, "I'm not a sacrificial wine, I'm a student just like you."

"Ah?? Student??"

Cheng Bushi looked at the white-haired man in front of him, but he began to mutter in his heart, didn't he mean that he must be under 40 years old? ?How old are you in your sixties?Still come here to study? ? ?

"Hahaha~~~"

Someone came forward with a big laugh, Cheng Bushi was taken aback, turned his head to look, but bumped into an old acquaintance, and hurriedly bowed to see him.

"Jun Qin!"

The person who came was called Qin Zhi. Cheng Buzhi used to fight with this person when he was poisoned in the expedition. This person's combat level is not very high, but he can speak well and has many friends. Everyone likes this person. The young people who knew a lot of information had no other purpose, they just liked to make friends with such young people, and it had nothing to do with his father's name Qin Tong.

Qin Zhi greeted the "old man" with a smile again.

Then he said to Cheng Bushi: "Don't underestimate this prince, he is older than us, but not much older. He is just an old man."

Cheng Bushi was stunned, this is too old, right? ?
Qin Zhi then said: "This time, the Xiting Kingdom sent him to send King Hu to Chang'an, in fact, to commend his military achievements. This prince has the merit of destroying the country, and his military achievements are outstanding, so we should not underestimate him."

Cheng Bushi was shocked and rushed to see him again.

Wang Jun just shook his head, his face was very calm.

Qin Zhi chatted with the two for a while, and suddenly saw some acquaintances again, so he said goodbye to them both with a smile.

Wang Jun looked around, "Chang'an has changed a lot, all the roads have been repaired here."

"Oh? Wang Jun worked in Chang'an in the past?"

The prince nodded his head slightly, and said, "At first, I served under the command of Prince Shandu, and I served as the captain in Chang'an, responsible for public security. Later."

"What happened next?"

"I just felt that a real man should make contributions in the frontier, so I wrote a letter to ask myself to go to Xiting Kingdom."

Cheng Bushi's eyes were full of admiration. In this year, there are still people who invite themselves to go to Xiting Kingdom? ?Except for merchants, almost no one went to the frontier with resources. There are all exiled people there. It is really admirable to be able to voluntarily go to guard one side.

Cheng Bushi praised: "Your Majesty has won the merit of destroying the country and realized his ambition. It is really admirable. It can be seen that those who have aspirations can finally achieve things!"

A trace of bitterness flashed in Wang Jun's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Just let out a heavy sigh.

"Why are you doing this? After destroying the country, are you still unhappy?"

"You don't know something. I am a deputy general for General Xiahou. General Xiahou has two lieutenants, and the other one. Don't worry about it."

"Every time I go to war, I stare at the two of them. I don't dare to relax for a moment. These two people don't know the direction. When they see the enemy, they will charge at full speed, and they don't care about the rear. What logistics and so on are even more important. I don’t care, I’m worried all day. Coordinating the army, look at my hair. I said I’m thirty-eight this year, do you believe it??”

Cheng Bushi's expression was a little astonished, he looked at Wang Jun in front of him, but didn't know what to say.

"After fighting with them for more than a year, I am more exhausted than those who have fought for ten years."

Cheng Bushi listened to his nagging very quietly, but he couldn't help but feel some pity for him in his heart. It's not easy to be a lieutenant general, especially when you meet such an unreliable chief general and other generals.

The two were talking, and the door was slowly opened.

Seeing Li Taiwei coming out, and seeing that he came out in person, everyone stopped talking and bowed to see each other.

"Everyone, although it is a study, there is no difference between military science and the school. If you want to come in, you can no longer maintain your original identity. I know that among the gentlemen, some are local captains, some are generals of the Northern Army, and even He is the prince's confidant, but whoever enters this school, there is no difference, they are all ordinary students, can't bring servants, can't enjoy, have to practice every day, can only go out one day a month, and are not allowed to leave Chang'an. If you repent, you can leave on your own!!"

Li Zuoche said seriously: "If you want to leave after entering the army, or don't abide by the law of military science, you should deal with it according to military law!!"

Of course, no one chose to quit. This is the best opportunity. They have spent all their efforts to come here. How could they quit so easily?

Li Zuoche led the crowd in, the inside is still under construction, it is very simple, and you can see those busy peasants and craftsmen, it is very noisy, but Li Zuoche turned a blind eye to these, so he arranged for soldiers Let them exchange clothes, receive ID cards, arrange places for them to rest and live, and so on.

Cheng Buzhi saw Mrs. Zhang who also came here to study.

It's just that Zhang Fu didn't take the initiative to talk to him. Zhang Fu has a bad temper and doesn't get along with anyone. At this moment, he is standing coldly among the crowd, his eyes are full of disdain for them.

They are equipped according to the standard of ordinary soldiers, there are six people in one dormitory.

Cheng Bushi chose the same dormitory with that Wang Jun, and the other people in the same dormitory all came from the south, two from Chu, one from Wu, and one from Changsha.

Everyone got acquainted quickly, and a soldier sent them documents.

It is not the art of war, but the system within the military science, which is densely packed, even more disciplined than marching.

After resting and getting acquainted for a day, the next day, they officially started their life in the Military Academy.

In today's military science, there are only less than a hundred of them. It is said that the civil assessment has not yet ended, so the freshmen have not yet arrived, because those people have not arrived yet, the course has not started, they just started the drill and received a lot of money Art of War, these books were selected by Li Zuoche and others. They divided many courses and divided the military field in detail. The art of war cannot be found outside.

Soon, those students who passed the assessment were also sent here, and the number of people here suddenly increased sharply, and those scholars, facing these generals who came in through special channels, still had some fear from their hearts.

When everyone is here, the course will naturally begin.

What surprised everyone was that they actually wanted to start learning military law, which made these generals disapproving. These things were too basic for them, but they heard that in the future they would have to start learning from the most basic military law. Once they started to study, they couldn't sit still.

"Can we separate the courses? Do we still need to learn those basic things? Who of us can't? Just let us go up and talk about these, there is no problem!"

Qin Zhi told Li Zuoche what everyone was thinking.

Li Zuoche didn't seem surprised at all. He looked at the many students in front of him calmly, "The basics are the most important. These basics are sorted out by us. Since you said you have mastered them all Yes, then I have to take the first and second exams."

Everyone cheered up. Li Zuoche asked about the basics of marching. From a three-man march to a ten-thousand-man march, he asked more and more things, including building roads and repairing bridges, setting up camps, logistics and cooking. , Grasp the distance between the front and back troops, the placement of different arms, the location of the garrison, the determination of the marching direction, etc. At first, these people were able to answer fluently, but when Li Zuoche asked more questions, the answers of these people began to be stuttering Baba, everyone didn't have a unified answer, and even started to quarrel with each other.

Cheng Bushi seriously thought about what Li Zuoche asked. These most basic marches can be divided into so many categories to describe, which he had never thought of before. Among the questions Li Zuoche asked, there are Some of which he himself had never considered.

But this is not the most surprising thing, the most shocking thing is the white-haired prince, he stands beside Cheng Bushi, whenever Li Taiwei asks, he can whisper own answer.

Although it is not too formal, he can express his own opinions no matter what the problem is.

This made Cheng Bushi very surprised. It seems that the chief general has nothing to do with the battles these years, but he has trained the deputy general. Not to mention, the marching logistics and so on are definitely trained to the point of proficiency. , have formed an instinctive response.

The marching was taught by Li Zuoche himself, Xia Houying taught them plain mobile warfare, Zhao Tuo taught them mountain warfare, Song Chang taught them city defense, and even Liu Chang came once to teach them how to command cavalry to fight.

"Find the enemy's general flag, and rush over! Cut down the opponent's general!!!"

When Liu Chang talked about his art of war, only Zhang Fu was applauding excitedly.

This art of war is deeply loved by Zhang Fu.

Then after class, he was taken out by Li Zuoche to copy the Art of War.

Zhao Tuo even told everyone earnestly that the emperor's art of war can only be listened to, and be prepared to guard against generals like him, but don't use it rashly, otherwise there will be big problems. This is not an art of war that ordinary people can afford!If you want to practice this kind of art of war, you can lift a tripod first, if you can lift it, you can practice it casually!

Military science is in full swing to cultivate excellent generals for the great man.

And Taixue is not peaceful.

In the winter of this year, a major event happened in Taixue.

Speaking of it, this incident is quite absurd. After someone came back from cutting firewood in Shanglinyuan, he said that he saw a unicorn in Shanglinyuan. Liu Chang didn't care about this, but it caused a lot of trouble among the people. The benevolent beast does not come out unless the Ming king, which symbolizes that the current emperor is the king of benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, there is a unicorn in this world, and this year should be recorded, so that future generations can understand that there are benevolent beasts in this year, because the holy emperor is alive. ironclad evidence.

However, the Huang-Lao School believes that: Confucianism speaks slanderously, does not do business properly, and confuses the public with demonic words.

The two schools of thought quickly went to war, launching a full-scale debate that revolved around the Holy Son of Heaven.

In the beginning, it was just arguing among the disciples, but gradually, many people began to take turns to end, and the two sides fought hard.

The newspapers on both sides were even more fierce. Huang Lao insulted Confucianism as Wu's last evil, while Confucianism said Huang Lao did not understand the king's teaching, Huang Lao said that Confucianism fabricated auspicious omen, and Confucianism said Huang Lao did not respect the holy king. Unprecedented, Taixue's gunpowder smell has reached an unprecedented level, and everyone who has almost named them has participated in this debate.

The Elder was sitting in the Hall of Houde, with a few college-style newspapers in front of him, eating beef, and reading with relish.

"Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Lu shook his head, "I don't understand. It's just a rumor in the countryside. Why are there so many quarrels?"

"Hahaha, you elm head, do you think they are arguing about Qilin?"

"They are fighting for the right to speak!"

"The Confucianists can't stay in the second place anymore, and they are going to take the right to speak from Huang Lao, and they are afraid that such a thing will anger me, so they are crowned in the name of the Holy Son of Heaven, as long as I agree with them, commemorate this year , set up a year name, then Confucianism will start to compete with Huang Lao for the right to speak and interpret in various fields in the future Huang Lao is unwilling to be overtaken by Confucianism, so he is fighting back with all his strength."

Lu Lu frowned, "The Huang-Lao school is very powerful, but now, why do you feel that you have been beaten so badly by the Confucianism that you can't fight back?"

"Old Huang is very powerful, but Confucianism has produced a large number of talents over the years. Relying on the foundation of enlightenment left by Shu Suntong, its influence has greatly increased. Look at those scholars who came from poor backgrounds, which one is not a Confucianist? Huang After all, the elders are still limited to these noble people, and the influence among the people has long been surpassed by Confucianism."

"Besides, Huang Lao was suppressed before the crown prince made a move. If the crown prince and those disciples make a move, Confucianism may not be their opponent."

Lu Lu asked again: "Then why didn't the prince take action?"

Liu Chang glared at him, "Your family's brains are all on my mother. Confucianism said that the Qilin appeared because of me, the Holy Son of Heaven. If that Zhuzi An came out to refute me, saying that I am not the Holy Son of Heaven, how would the world think about it?" Him?? Denying his own father? Isn’t this unfilial? How dare he make a move? Confucianism is really powerful, so they found the right opportunity, knowing that the prince would not dare to make a move, and started to suppress it directly.”

Lu Lu only felt a bit of a headache, "I don't like these things very much, and I get a headache just thinking about it."

"But these things are very important. This is a line dispute. Which school is more powerful, the temple's policy will be biased towards which school. This is still very important."

"Then what is His Majesty going to do? Do you want to support Confucianism? Or do you want to support Huang Lao?"

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Today Confucianism says that there is a unicorn, which symbolizes the presence of King Ming. If I accept it, then tomorrow, if Confucianism says that there are fierce beasts, which symbolizes the presence of an evil king, do you think I should recognize it?"

"I understand."

"However, Confucianism has made a lot of contributions in the matter of enlightenment, and its reputation among the people is also growing. If we can't forcefully suppress them, we should solve their problems through learning. I hate Confucianism for doing such things, no Let them talk about the destiny, and they started talking about the unicorn. I thought it was absurd for Huang Lao to seek immortality, but I didn’t realize that Confucianism is even more absurd. Where did the unicorn come from? Let’s go to Shen Pei later and tell Him, let him bring the unicorn to meet the Holy Son of Heaven!!"
