Chapter 10 Liu Chan’s Ambition

Early next morning.

Liu Chan got up early.

First, I did a simple exercise on the school grounds of Gongzi Mansion, and then had a delicious bowl of meat and vegetable soup.

Of course, it is said to be meat and vegetable soup, but in fact there is very little meat and more vegetable porridge.

The conquest of Guanzhong consumed countless amounts of food and meat. Originally, the food in the Young Master's Mansion was the same as before, but how could it be effective if the top was not working?

Liu Chan cut his own diet and set an example.

This matter was approved by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and many others.

The favorability of this civil servant and general, and his own reputation, are all accumulated through these trivial things.

Of course, a diet without meat is not enough, especially since he is currently in the growth stage, so Liu Chan often goes out to hunt in the field under the pretext of training.

In this era, the mountains and forests were owned by the superiors, and ordinary people did not have the right to enter the mountains to cut firewood and hunt, so wild resources were relatively abundant.

Liu Chan's diet was not greatly affected. On the contrary, because he often went out hunting, he often brought the prey back to the prince's house, made wine and food and sent it to the Chengdu official office. Unconsciously, he gained the favor of Chengdu officials through eating and drinking.

However, his kind of restraint is gentle and silent. Compared with Liu Bei who can make people like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong work hard to die, his level of restraint is still too low.

"Sir, this is sent to you by the Zhang family's wife."

Lan Niang?

"Why don't you see Lan Niang?"

"Sir, Madam Zhang gave these things to the slave and left."

We are all members of the same family and yet we are so polite.

If it were Guan Yinping, he would have rushed in long ago.

Liu Chan opened the baggage in the hands of steward Liu Ji. Inside was a set of spring clothes and a new sachet.

After lightly smelling the scent of the sachet, he tied the sachet around his waist with a smile.

"Send these clothes to my room."

It seems that when I was knitting clothes for Zhang Fei, I also knitted a set for him, but if he hadn't told me, maybe the spring clothes wouldn't have been delivered to him.

Liu Chan touched his nose. When the Battle of Hanzhong is over this year and Xuande becomes King of Hanzhong, he can arrange the wedding of his heir apparent.

Although he is only twelve years old now, which is still young, this young age is compared to later generations. Lan Niang is two years older than him. Although he is only fourteen years old, in this era when the average life expectancy is less than thirty years old,

Fourteen is actually the legal age for marriage.

Years of wars had decimated the population. In the Western Han Dynasty, women were required to get married before the age of fifteen.

"Book of Han Hui Di Ji" records: "If a woman is between fifteen and thirty years old and does not marry, she will be counted as five times." "Five calculations" means five times the tax.

In the Han Dynasty, early marriage was very common both in the royal family and among the people.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty gave birth to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty when he was fifteen years old. Based on this, it is estimated that the age of marriage was even younger.

The "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Chronicles of Emperor Ling" states: "In April of the fourth year of Jianning, Guichou established the noble Song family as queen." Emperor Ling came to the throne at the age of twelve in the first year of Jianning, and got married at the age of fifteen in the fourth year of Jianning.

For example, among the people, the inscription "Jin Guangyan's Mother Xu Family's Inheritance Stele" in Volume 15 of "Li Shi", which contains stone carvings of the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, reads: "At the age of eighteen, he married the Xu family." The above are men, and women such as "Book of the Later Han Dynasty·Ban Zhao"

"Biography": "When I was fourteen years old, I held a dustpan and broom for the Cao family."

What is even more exaggerated is the "Book of Han·Biography of Empress Shangguan": "The imperial edict was issued to summon Annu to become Jieyu... After more than a month, she was established as empress at the age of six."

Empress Shangguan of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was only six years old when she got married! There really is no youngest, only younger!

But when it comes to the Three Kingdoms, it’s even more exaggerated!

It is not uncommon for people to become fathers at thirteen and masters at thirty.

Even if you don't marry at your age, the government will force you to marry.

"Son."

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao came together, dressed in powerful clothes.

"Sir, do you have any regulations regarding the martial arts hall?"

Zhang Bao is an impatient person. He just bowed to Liu Chan and couldn't help but say what he was most concerned about.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Liu Chan walked to the weapon rack and pulled out a ring-shou sword.

The ring-headed knife in his hand is one meter long, and has a metal ring on the end of the handle, which can act as a counterweight. It can also be hung with a rope holster to hold it stably, and can also be used to hang ornaments and tassels.

This ring-head knife is extremely sharp and is processed by the Baidu steelmaking process. The simple understanding of the Baidu steelmaking process is that the smelted iron block or high-carbon fried steel is continuously heated, folded and forged to remove oxide impurities.

Carburize and finally get the blade.

It's definitely a lie to say that it can cut iron like clay, but it should be no problem to cut an unarmored soldier in half with one knife.

"Master, what do you mean?"

The brother-in-law had a look of confusion on his face.

Guan Xing pulled Zhang Bao's clothes aside and said with a smile: "If you just recruit a few people, there is no need to prepare. However, the ambition of the young master is as wide as the world and as high as the sky, so you should think twice before making any move."

"May I ask what your ambition is, young master? What is your wish to teach martial arts?"

"My ambition is the same as my father's ambition. I should support the Han Dynasty and unify the world! As for Jiangwutang's wish, it is naturally prepared for war. To win the battle is Jiangwutang's wish. My brother is a military commander.

, do you know how to win on the battlefield?"

"Soldiers who serve their lives, who are brave as generals without fear of death, and who work hard as politicians can win!"

Zhang Bao has actually read some books.

"Have you read "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?"

"Of course I have read military books."

Although his Zhang family is not a classic heirloom, his father Zhang Fei was a good reader, and his mother Xiahou was proficient in poetry and calligraphy. To say that he was illiterate would be to scold him.

He just doesn't want to become a Ph.D. in Classics, so he still has to read the book.

"I studied "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and came to some simple insights. If you want to win on the battlefield, you must be prepared and have strategies before the war and during the war."

Liu Chan resheathed the Huanshou knife in his hand and put it back on the shelf.

"Before the war, coordination of national strength, military training, selection of generals, and logistics are all crucial."

The "Five Matters" refer to "Tao, Heaven, Earth, Generals, and Laws". The "Seven Strategies" refer to "Who has the Tao? Which generals are capable? Who has access to heaven and earth? Who can carry out the laws? Who is the stronger among the soldiers? Who is the training of the soldiers?

Who knows the rewards and punishments?" The Five Things and Seven Strategies are headed by "Tao".

"The one who makes the people agree with the superiors. To win a war, we must first win the support of the people. For war, we must know ourselves and the enemy. We must learn from five things, learn from the plans and find out the feelings." Then we have the confidence of victory.

, only then can we raise troops to fight."

Guan Xing was thoughtful, and Zhang Bao was also listening carefully to Liu Chan's speech.

"According to the needs of the battlefield situation: when the troops move quickly, they are like a swirling wind; when they march calmly, they are like a slowly unfolding forest; when they attack a city, they are like a raging fire; when they are stationed for defense, they are like a mountain; when they are concealed, they are like a dark cloud.

When the army is deployed, it is like thunder. If we can train such an army, can we not win the battle?"

"And there is a lot of knowledge in selecting generals and logistics."

As Liu Chan's closest associate, he naturally wants to implement his vision for the Wushu Hall through Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.

Lecture hall?

No! It’s the Huangpu Military Academy of the Three Kingdoms!

Liu Chan is the one who wants to be the principal!

The contract has been signed and the status will be changed soon.
