Chapter 34 Doubts
Spring goes and winter comes, but in a blink of an eye, it takes three years.
Xinye City, in the study room of Xu Shu’s mansion.
There were no servants around, only two wooden tables and one bookcase. There were bamboo slips that could not be counted on the bookcase.
Before the two cases, Liu Feng and Xu Shu sat opposite each other.
Xu Shu was wearing a white long gown with a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes occasionally shone with wisdom. Compared with those days, his style was still the same.
Liu Feng's face had completely faded from his childishness and had completely become a heroic young man.
Today is Xu Shu's assessment of Liu Feng's academic performance over the past three years.
"The major general has read Han Feizi for three years, I don't know what his book is?" Xu Shu asked with a smile at the disciple in front of him who was extremely satisfied with him.
"In the pre-Qin period, Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin used the rule of law to sweep the six kingdoms. Han Feizi's book was a collection of masterpieces of the Legalists, and it is indeed the most ancient and modern work." Liu Feng replied with a smile.
It has been three years since Xu Shu accepted it, and Han Feizi has been studying for three years, and he has already understood it.
"It's not just that?" Xu Shu was not satisfied with Liu Feng's words and only praised Han Feizi, and asked with a smile.
"Although Han Feizi is good, he governs emotions with reason. The whole world's ministers are pawns. The emphasis is on the emperor selling titles and salary to his ministers, but the ministers still use wisdom. Without a loyalty, it is really unkind. If it were a wise monarch like Ying Zheng, it would be fine. If it was a foolish monarch like Qin II, it would be out of control. Therefore, Qin II would perish." As he said that, Liu Feng raised his fist to Xu Shu and said, "Han Feizi's book has nine parts of truth to read, but this part is not read."
"Yes, this is the most flawed point of the Legalists. But it is undeniable that the Legalists' remarks are all practical and can strengthen the country. Therefore, when Emperor Gaozu, he used Huang-Lao's theory and Taoist remarks to govern the country." Seeing that Liu Feng had been studying for three years, he was not confused by the principles in Han Feizi's book, but instead cleared the fog and saw the advantages and disadvantages. Xu Shu smiled comfortably and said.
Huang Lao's theory is Lao Tzu's speech. A large part of the Legalist theory was carried forward by Lao Tzu's theory. However, Lao Tzu's book did not have the torture and utilitarianism of the Legalist.
Therefore, Emperor Gaozu of Han used Lao Tzu's remarks to govern the country.
Liu Feng just smiled and listened to Xu Shu's praise, straightened his body, and waited for the following text.
He had been accepting Xu Shu for three years, and he learned not only Han Feizi, but also Zuo Zhuan, Liu Tao, and Wu Qi's military strategy that Liu Bei asked to study, etc.
Occasionally, Xu Shu would talk to him about various knowledge and explain the doubts in the book to him, but he would rarely talk to him about the pros and cons of a book like this.
I'm afraid this is just an excuse, and the following is the main text.
Looking at Liu Feng, who had a clear gaze, without any confusion.
Xu Shu felt a feeling of growing up like my son. He smiled with relief and said, "In three years, the teacher can teach you everything he taught you. In other words."
Speaking of this, Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's time for you to get out of the army."
The so-called "departure" does not mean that you have enough feelings, but of course it is not a sad thing, but that you can already walk in the world independently. It is a joyful event.
"Thank you for your cultivation, Mr. Liu Feng was shocked when he heard this, stood up, lifted up the corner of his clothes and bowed to Xu Shu for a long time.
Xu Shu sat calmly and received a great gift from Liu Feng.
After Liu Feng finished his salute and sat down again, Xu Shu said: "You should be prepared for something in your heart."
There was something important, Liu Feng felt solemn in his heart, raised his fist and said, "Sir, please tell me."
"My teacher once said that the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. You have a noble status and don't have to learn military books, but the lord thinks that this is not the case. In today's chaotic times, if you don't learn some military skills and self-defense, you will not be able to establish a world. So my teacher taught you Wu Qi's military method." At this point, Xu Shu paused and looked at Liu Fengdao with a smile.
Looking at Xu Shu's smile, Liu Feng's heart was shocked, and he felt a little dry.
Xu Shu said it was obvious that learning military tactics always requires use. Liu Bei was preparing to give him military power.
Xu Shu deeply understood Liu Feng's mood. During the past three years, Liu Feng has studied various studies carefully and showed an extraordinary enthusiasm for military tactics.
This is a desire to command troops.
Today he told Liu Feng that Liu Bei intended to give Liu Feng military power. For Liu Feng, it was like a dream come true, no wonder he lost his voice for a while.
Xu Shu did not rebuke this because he knew how outstanding and calm this disciple was. He just lost his composure for a while. It was not a big deal. He would soon calm down.
Just as Xu Shu thought, after a brief excitement, Liu Feng immediately calmed down and asked Xu Shu: "Which general is he going to attack during the march?"
"According to the lord's intention, it should be to recruit 300 soldiers by himself and form an independent army." Xu Shu replied.
"Independent army? How do I do this?" Liu Feng did not feel sad about recruiting 300 soldiers. Liu Bei could not support many troops, and adding 300 people was already a great gift to Liu Feng. He just felt unsolvable about recruiting troops by himself.
Logically, Liu Feng should have entered the army and first attacked a general and learned experience. This is the best start. It is really difficult to recruit soldiers alone.
In fact, Xu Shu was quite confused about this question. However, he didn't want to see Liu Feng confused, so he put away his smile and said, "From nothing to something, it is the most difficult, and it is also a kind of encouragement for you, so you must not be confused."
Seeing Xu Shu so serious, Liu Feng had to suppress the doubts in his heart and nodded.
Any chick will have a time to grow. For Xu Shu, it is time to let Liu Feng fly independently. He is also confident that this disciple can soar in the nine heavens. Any point of mentioning it is no different.
After smiling at the sky outside, Xu Shu said, "Let's stop here today. Go back and have a rest early. There should be a formal document issued tomorrow."
"No." Seeing this, Liu Feng had to hide the doubts in his heart and say goodbye and leave.
After Liu Feng left, Xu Shu stood up and looked up at the direction of the prefect's mansion. His face was a little heavy.
"Lord, lord, is you doing this to allow Feng'er to experience from scratch, or is it intentionally separate Feng'er from the intersection of military generals?"
With Xu Shu's IQ, he is not a wise man. Liu Bei asked Liu Feng to recruit soldiers by himself, which seemed to give up his military power and let Liu Feng experience the hardships from scratch. However, from another aspect, it also cut off the intersection between Liu Feng and the generals in the army.
Liu Feng was not allowed to establish a foundation in the army.
Is this a precaution? Suspicion?
This is why Xu Shu was confused. Liu Bei had no son, and Liu Feng was so outstanding, hard-working and calm in character. Why should he be so careful?
Moreover, Xinye is so weak at present, and there will be times when he is destroyed at any time. What should I do to prevent?
Thinking of this, Xu Shu felt a sense of being poor and unable to support himself.
A few days ago, Sima Hui mentioned in a letter that Zhuge Kongming had the intention to become an official, and it seemed that he should make an offer to his lord, so he asked him to come out.
Zhuge Kongming.
When Liu Feng returned to the yard, he also figured out this.
Standing in the yard, Liu Feng looked in the direction where Liu Bei was, as if he wanted to see clearly what Liu Bei was thinking through the yard wall.
He has to give him military power and guard against him.
