Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

The school officials in Guangxin would never have imagined that one day they would see the two great Confucian scholars Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong personally sit in the official school to review the local academic classics and discuss how to adapt the "Jijiupian".

Among them, the academician Xian hesitated several times and wanted to speak, but after looking at his colleagues around him, he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Mr. Bojie."

After finally finding some time to be alone with Cai Yong, Xian Xueguan came closer to pay his respects, frowning and saying in embarrassment: "...The words of the sage are fine for enlightening young children, but why is there a problem with the barbarians? Barbarians are not of our race, and their minds must be different. How can we teach them knowledge and make them wise? Moreover, we only taught the children of our clan before, and now we want to enroll all the children of Guangxin... Isn't it a worry that our family knowledge will be spread to outsiders?"

Cai Yong respected family learning very much, but he really wanted to say that this Jiaozhou clan probably didn't have a doctrine that could be called "learning". At most, it was just a family opinion. However, seeing the extremely cautious look in the eyes of Xian Xueguan, he could only comfort him with kind words: "It's just teaching children to read, not lecturing. The governor didn't force you to do it. If you really care about this, just refuse. It won't cause any trouble."

"You two gentlemen are so kind, I am ashamed of myself." Xian Xueguan breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but give more advice, "The matter of passing on knowledge... Alas, you two gentlemen know the relevance of this matter, and it may be useless for me to talk to you, but I still want to ask you to cherish your reputation and just do it in this remote place of Jiaozhou..."

When he said this, he saw that Cai Yong's expression remained unchanged. He sighed, and thinking that this "Exhortation to Study" was presented by the disciples of Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, he cursed: "This fool is arrogant, and he will bring trouble to the master sooner or later!"

Cai Yong was immediately displeased. Even though he himself somewhat disapproved of his own student's idea of ​​elementary education, how could he remain calm when others criticized it? He immediately pulled the sleeve of Xian Xueguan and began to quote classics to discuss the legitimacy and necessity of passing on knowledge. Xian Xueguan nodded several times and almost changed his attitude and applauded.

Apart from Xian Xueguan, many clans in Guangxin had complaints about this so-called "cultural and educational policy". However, since Liu Bei came to power, he had demarcated household registration and built water conservancy projects, which benefited the people a lot. In addition, he defeated the Li people and Shi Xie, so these people just stood by and waited for Liu Bei to fail in this matter.

Zhong Ping felt that being with Liu Bei was the most comfortable life he had since he traveled through time.

Not to mention that he could go to Mrs. Gan's fish soup every day, since Li Meng was able to take over the matter of the sluice gate, Zhong Ping spent most of his time with Liu Bei discussing elementary school matters. Whenever he had an idea and came up with a fantastic idea like "I have a plan", Liu Bei would always put down what he was doing and listen.

Guangxin's official business was transparent to Zhong Ping. After all, he could enter anyone's office without permission, and might even be asked to help.

Zhong Ping has become visibly more relaxed. He used to be very cautious about offering suggestions and forced himself to do more and dream less. Perhaps he was afraid that there really are ghosts and gods in the world and that those who enter his dreams will look completely different.

"Bo Heng, what do you think of my Black General? Is he brave or not?"

Liu Qi excitedly picked up a straw cage and "captured" Zhong Ping who was strolling out of the door in front of Liu Bei's mansion.

Zhong Ping first glanced at Zhu Feng, who was guarding behind Liu Qi diligently. He felt that if it weren't for this guest reminding him at any time, Liu Qi would have degenerated into a fool who "enjoyed himself here and didn't miss Jing".

...But speaking of Adou, he'll be born in eight years? Why don't we find a time to let Fan A show it to Lord Xuande? He's already grown up, how come he doesn't even have a child...

Zhong Ping was distracted briefly, then he moved closer to the grass cage and looked at it for a while. He had to say that the katydid was sleek and slippery, and its chirping was loud and clear, which was indeed extraordinary.

"It is indeed handsome. Where did you find it?"

Zhong Ping broke off a piece of thin grass and put it in to tease him. "Mr. Kang Cheng has a disciple who is about your age. I think his surname is Zhuge? He has some connection with my family. He helped me catch him. If you want, I will give you the Black General."

There was reluctance in Liu Qi's eyes, but he still handed the straw cage to Zhong Ping.

Zhong Ping really didn't expect that Liu Qi really liked fighting crickets, and he also didn't expect that Liu Qi would be willing to give it up. He couldn't help but change his impression of Liu Qi in his heart.

"Bo Yu treated me as a friend, how could I take away someone's love?"

Zhong Ping smiled but did not take the question. Instead, he changed the subject: "I was also favored by my uncle in Jingzhou in the past. Boyu, why don't you just speak frankly?"

Liu Qi subconsciously glanced at Zhu Feng, but soon retracted his gaze. Thinking of the fact that Zhong Ping called Liu Biao "uncle", he calmed down a little and answered with some shame: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Bo Heng... I heard that Lu Bu's army is unstoppable and has taken down the two states of Yu and Bing. Now his troops have reached Dangyang and can immediately take Jiangling! I'm afraid that when the two Cais helped Lu Bu, they didn't expect that Lu Bu, who always behaved like a loser, would be so powerful, right?"

"As expected, a great reputation is always a hero. I once heard that Lü Bu was the bravest warrior of the time, but after seeing his achievements, I felt that he was just so-so. I underestimated the heroes of the world. If Lü Bu is so brave, how brave were Li Jue and Cao Cao who defeated Lü Bu?"

Liu Qi's words revealed a hint of discouragement: "I'm afraid that even if I can divide Jingzhou with Lu Bu, it won't last long!"

Zhong Ping thought about the news that he had received in the past few days and said to comfort him: "I have also seen Lü Bu's Bingzhou army in Chang'an in the past. They are good at rushing and fighting in the field. They can sweep across the front and defeat all enemies. I have also personally experienced the advantages of the Jingzhou navy. If they defend the terrain, Lü Bu will have a hard time taking Nanjun. Moreover, Chen Gong is slow in wits, Lü Bu relies on his strength, and the Jingzhou counselors have many strategies. There is still a chance to turn defeat into victory. Don't worry, Bo Yu."

Liu Qi looked better, and after a while he hesitated and spoke: "It's not that I have low ambitions, but Bo Heng doesn't know that there are many clans in Jingzhou that are at odds with each other, and there are countless people scheming against each other. Shan Fan is sowing discord among them... I'm afraid that before Lü Bu can attack them one by one, those clans will fall apart from the inside out, and Jingzhou will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

It turns out that among the thirty-six strategies, sowing discord is the best.

Zhong Ping thought that if one day he had enough time to compile a book of "Zhong's Art of War", he would definitely put the sentence "No matter whether it is useful or not, try a strategy of sowing discord first. What if it works?" at the beginning of the first page.

"I understand what Bo Yu meant."

He readily took over the conversation: "To know what Jingzhou is like, you have to see it with your own eyes. If Bo Yu trusts me, I am willing to go to Jingzhou with Bo Yu."

Zhu Feng finally spoke up: "Sir, do you want soldiers to accompany you on this trip?"

Zhong Ping looked puzzled. "Since it's a war-torn place, are we going to go alone? I've been an envoy before, and there have been times when I traveled without soldiers."

Liu Qi paused subtly, carefully recalling Zhong Ping's experience as an envoy, and seemed to be thinking about something.
