Chapter 470 (2/2)
”Have you ever read Zuo Zhuan?” Xu Huang looked at them and asked.
Zhang duo and Xu Gan both blushed and shook their heads.
”I and I are poor people. How can they have a chance to study?”
Although Confucius established private schools as early as the spring and Autumn period and advocated ”education without discrimination”, in fact, before the Wei, Jin, and southern and Northern Dynasties, knowledge was basically monopolized in the hands of aristocrats. Most ordinary people did not have the right to read, even if they got a book, they could not read.
In fact, the so-called ”poor scholars” are actually the weak aristocrats. These nobles may have lost all their property, but the books have been handed down. Therefore, the situation of ”Han people in charge of important affairs” appeared in the northern and Southern Dynasties. To put it bluntly, it is just a history of the decline and rejuvenation of the aristocracy.
Most ordinary people don't read books.
Xu Huang smiles: ”I will let people teach you how to read and write. How can a general not understand the art of war?”
”In this case, I'll tell you about the section” Cao GUI's debate ”in Zuo Zhuan Xu Huang said slowly: ”Qi attacked the state of Lu in the long spoon, that is, the battle of the long spoon. The strength of the state of Lu could not be compared with that of the Qi army, but a man named Cao GUI came forward
”After the Qi army attacked three times, Cao GUI ordered Lu troops to defend with all their might and not to fight.”
Zhang duo curled his lips and said, ”this Cao GUI seems to be a coward. If I had been replaced, I would have been leading the army and fighting against each other.”
Xu Huang laughed and said, ”then Cao GUI ordered the army to march with drums. The Qi army passed through three drums, and their morale was weak. Xu Gan, who was in the state of Lu, seemed to understand:” Xu Lang, do you mean that music is a false retreat? ”
Xu Huang nodded approvingly: ”yes, although the enemy troops have scattered and fled, the lejiu central army is still in a tight formation. There are not many troops of our army out of the city. If we go forward to pursue at this time, we will certainly lose both sides. Therefore, we can stop when we are satisfied.”
Zhang duo and Xu Gan suddenly realized that they had great admiration for Xu Huang and said in unison, ”I will read more books on war when I go back, and I also ask Xu Lang to give me some advice.””Well, clean up the battlefield and go back to the city!”
Xu Huang led his army to pick up the ordnance and supplies discarded by lejiu army and returned victoriously.
On the other hand, the lejiu army was defeated for dozens of Li before it managed to stabilize its formation. Seeing that Xu Huang did not lead the army to pursue, he was relieved.
It was not easy to wait until dawn, and Le ordered to call in the remaining soldiers, but only about half of them, that is, about 10000. Most of the lejiu troops came from the counties and counties of Huainan by Yuan Shu. Now they were scared away by Xu Guojun. Naturally, they were all worried about their families and left one after another.
After counting the number of people, Le turned blue.
”Hateful, damn Xu Huang, you and I hate each other!”
Seeing the music, he was infuriated. The generals were very sad and did not dare to get close to him. Yuecheng, the younger brother of lejiu, had no choice but to go forward and persuade him: ”brother, there are only 10000 soldiers left in our army. If we attack Yinling city by force, we will suffer heavy casualties.”
”What do you say?” Music is not a good way.
”What doctor Yan is worried about is that Xu Huang leads his army to attack Shouchun. As long as our army encircles and doesn't attack, it's good to keep Xu Huang firmly in Yinling city. It's not for meritorious service, but for no fault.” The deputy general tried to persuade him.
