Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Just as Zhang Bao was about to ask more questions, a middle-aged teacher came in. This made the students who were originally having a heated discussion quickly quiet down, and then they stood up and greeted the teacher.

"It's okay to discuss the Northern Expedition, but don't let it affect your studies."

After the teacher said a few words, he began his teaching.

The content taught in Ren De Academy is quite practical, and except for some compulsory courses, the rest are elective.

For example, what this instructor teaches is military strategy, or war analysis.

The war discussed in this class was the "War of Wuhuan" which had been discussed quite thoroughly internally.

This is not only a classic example of the weak defeating the strong, but also involves an invasion of the border by a foreign race, and it was also the battle that made the prime minister truly famous. Naturally, it becomes a topic that cannot be avoided when explaining the war.

Apart from the fact that Zhao Yun's single-handed charge into the battle line to stop the Wuhuan from retreating was a bit too outrageous, the analysis of the countermeasures in this battle is truly amazing.

The instructor's level was obviously good. His explanations were simple and profound, and he quoted from various military books from time to time. Even Li Xiang, who had already been taught this battle by Li Ji at home, listened very seriously.

On the contrary, Adou seemed to be simply listening to the glorious deeds of his elders and was listening with great gusto.

However, since the instructor had already explained this battle in several lessons, this lesson was the final one. At the end, the instructor gave a summary.

"The battle against Wuhuan was a success, and the border residents of Youzhou have not had to worry about Wuhuan raids for ten years..."

"Moreover, the Prime Minister has been benevolent and has promoted education for the Wuhuan captives, building houses and reclaiming farmland for them. As a result, the Wuhuan have been willing to raise horses for the Han Dynasty over the past ten years. You can say that he has won people over with virtue..."

After hearing these words, many students in the classroom were fascinated and their faces flushed.

When foreign invaders invaded the border, he single-handedly reversed the situation, laid the foundation for ten years of stability on the border, and also taught the foreign invaders to raise horses for the Han people. He is a true man.

However, Li Xiang’s brows furrowed more and more as he listened, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to signal.

Being interrupted by Li Xiang's sudden action, the teacher with a stern face was not annoyed. He paused and asked, "Li Cheng, what's the confusion?"

Li Xiang stood up and saluted, then said, "I am so bold as to discover a mistake in what I just said."

"Oh? Please go ahead." asked the teacher.

Prime Minister Li looked around and answered in a solemn voice.

"I personally believe that my father... Prime Minister spared most of the Wuhuan captives not out of benevolence towards foreign races, but because he wanted to control barbarians with barbarians and barbarians with barbarians. He thought it was a pity to kill them and that they should be put to good use. Therefore, he broke their spines and made them guard the border like domestic dogs and raise horses for the Han Dynasty..."

However, before Li Xiang could finish his words, the teacher, who had originally had a good attitude, turned black in the face, slammed his hand on the table, and spoke angrily.

"Be bold!"

The instructor pointed at Li Xiang, his fingers trembling with anger, and shouted.

"You are a young boy, shallow and ignorant, without virtue or morality. You are showing off your little cleverness and dare to speculate on the Prime Minister's benevolence?"

In an instant, a series of strange looks were cast towards Li Xiang, causing Li Xiang to frown slightly.

What Prime Minister Li just said is somewhat contrary to the teachings of Confucianism.

Seeing Li Xiang being scolded and accused by the teacher, Adou stood up almost subconsciously and blurted out to defend him.

"Since Big Brother said so, then it is definitely correct."

The instructor looked even more angry and shouted.

"Li Dou, why are you making that noise?"

"What your elder brother Li Xiang said is true. The fact of how the Prime Minister settled the Wuhuan is right in front of us. How can we allow you to make sophistry and slander him?" Adou was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Xiang. Then Li Xiang said calmly.

"My father once said: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts..."

However, this teaching, which adheres to the Confucian way of education, did not give Li Xiang any opportunity to further debate and interrupted him.

"Who is your father? How can he judge the Prime Minister's actions with his shallow views? Moreover, he is using a child like you to criticize. If your father has any objections, let him come to the academy to discuss it with me in person."

Li Xiang looked a little helpless for a moment and replied.

"My father has gone with the army to the Northern Expedition and is not at home. It is difficult for me to come to the academy. Please forgive me, teacher."

Hearing this, the instructor's expression eased a little. He realized that the father of the brothers Li Cheng and Li Dou might be one of the soldiers in the Northern Expedition, but he still asked in a deep voice.

"Then do you two brothers have any elders in your family? You two brothers have incorrect thoughts. What's the use of studying well? Ask your elders to come over."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Li had no choice but to answer.

"Grandfather is at home."

"In that case, ask your two brothers' grandfather to come over within seven days." After saying this, the instructor left.

And when the instructor walked away, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and whispered one after another.

"That teacher is really interesting. He is blind to the truth. Since it was the Prime Minister who said that the Prime Minister was sincere, then he must be right. He even used his status to suppress him."

"But what should Xiang Ge'er do now? If I ignore the teacher, he might cause trouble for Xiang Ge'er."

Li Xiang said helplessly.

"Don't laugh, I'm leaving now."

"Wait, big brother, I'm going too."

Realizing something, Adou reacted very quickly and followed. He and Li Xiang walked around Rende Academy with ease and went straight to the courtyard of the principal Cai Yong.

When Cai Yong saw Adou and Li Xiang, he bowed and greeted the prince with some surprise, then he took Li Xiang's hand and asked with a loving face.

"Oh, why is Xiang'er here today?"

"Grandfather, I noticed that some of the teaching content has some mistakes..."

Immediately, Li Xiang told everyone what happened today in detail.

It would be fine if it was just some private arguments, but Li Xiang knew very well that his father's attitude towards foreigners would gradually form a mainstream attitude among countless students that foreigners should be treated mainly through education and appeasement, and that they should be good brothers.

In Li Xiang's opinion, this might affect his father's future plans and arrangements for dealing with foreign races and overseas, so it is naturally necessary to nip this trend in the bud.

After hearing this, Cai Yong frowned and stroked his beard, and he already understood the reason.

Confucianism is, after all, the mainstream of academic research, so it is inevitable that some people have gradually begun to mix in some personal opinions in order to benefit their own ideas.

"This matter can be big or small, and it really cannot be ignored. I will handle it properly. Xiang'er, don't worry, and just concentrate on your studies."

After a pause, Cai Yong spoke kindly and gently.

"But Xiang'er hasn't had a meal with Grandfather for a while. Now that you're here this time, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"And the prince, if you don't mind the simple food here, how about staying with us?" (End of this chapter)
