The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 21: Suiying Martial Arts School
In Luoyang City, Taifu Yuan Wei and City Gate Colonel Wu Qiong became the laughing stock of the world.

He sent five hundred gold to win over Qin Shou, the commander of the heroic cavalry. Unexpectedly, the commander of the heroic cavalry ordered roasted lamb at Cuixiang Tower and sent it to Yong'an Palace for the soldiers of the heroic cavalry camp to enjoy.

For a time, it became a joke in Luoyang City. Yuan Wei and Wu Qiong were so angry that they didn't even leave the house.

Qin Shou's name also spread throughout Luoyang, with mixed praise and criticism.

Some people say that he is Dong Zhuo's lackey and a foolish loyalist, some say that he is a loyal minister, some say that he loves nursing soldiers and so on.

No matter what, the reputation is there.

Li Ru also contributed to this, and it was Li Ru who released these messages.

As the protagonist of the story, he was nesting in Yong'an Palace at this time, mingling with his soldiers.

As the East Palace, Yong'an Palace actually has various supporting facilities. There is a small school ground where Qin Shou mostly trained soldiers.

However, at this time, he was telling a story.

Zhang Liao, Xia Houlan, and ten camp commanders were surrounded by many soldiers, looking relaxed.

"During the Warring States Period, there were two famous figures named Sun Bin and Pang Juan. They came from the same school. One was loyal to Qi and the other was loyal to Wei. One day, Pang Juan led his army to attack Zhao. Zhao was defeated and asked Qi for help. , the State of Qi sent Sun Bin to lead the army to rescue the State of Zhao. If you are leading the army, how are you going to save Zhao? Kong Erluzi, what would you do if it were you?"

The commander of the village, Kong Er, opened his eyes wide, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He liked listening to stories the most, but what he disliked the most was that the captain always tested each other at critical moments.

Thinking that I am just a martial artist with a little bit of force, I can't think of anything.

"Just do it, go directly to Pang Juan and fight him head-on." Kong Er said in an angry voice.

"Bamboo pole, what do you think?" Qin Shou turned his attention to another tall man.

Zhugan, whose real name is Zhao Hou, is tall and good at archery.

"Exaggerate the number of soldiers and horses, say 100,000 as 200,000, increase the number of military stoves, confuse the Wei army, and intimidate the other party to withdraw." Zhao Hou thought for a while and said.

The rest of the people also nodded, but Zhang Liao and Xia Houlan did not speak, but looked at the scene in front of them with smiles on their faces.

"Kong Er is stupid, you are a reckless man. Fighting with him head on, not to mention whether Zhao can hold on, even if he can hold on, Qi's army will suffer a lot."

Everyone burst out laughing after hearing this. Kong Er's face turned red, but his embarrassment was hard to see due to his dark skin.

"Zhao Hou's plan is good, but Pang Juan is also a man with a plan. Once he sees through it, your plan will not work. After all, you can find out how many troops you send, and you can't deceive anyone."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Captain, what method did Sun Bin take?" Zhao Hou couldn't help but ask.

The other people also looked at Qin Shou eagerly and seemed very interested.

"He led the army not to rescue Zhao but to attack Wei. When Pang Juan heard that Sun Bin was leading the army to attack Wei, he was frightened and quickly withdrew his troops and returned to help Wei."

"This is the story of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao. It mainly tells us that at certain times, we can force the attacking enemy to retreat by attacking the enemy's strongholds in the rear."

Qin Shou ended the short story with a smile.

He has told many short stories like this, hiding the art of war in the stories and teaching them to the people in front of him. He believed that this move would allow these lower-level officers to quickly master the art of war. In this era, the level of education was extremely low and there were very few literate people. Reading was the preserve of wealthy families. It was even impossible for these soldiers to be literate, but they were needed for marching and fighting.

Qin Shou didn't know how many famous generals he could find in the future. At the moment, he only has Zhang Liao, who is a famous general, and Xia Houlan is still growing up. It would be the best thing if these village chiefs can teach him.

Cultivating yourself is the simplest and most effective way.

He believed that his men would definitely expand in the near future. At that time, these village commanders would become military princes or even school captains. After his long-term teaching, they might not be inferior to those third-rate generals.

"Thank you Captain for clarifying my doubts."

Zhang Liao suddenly raised his hands towards Qin Shou and said seriously.

"Wen Yuan, it doesn't have to be like this. It's just a leisurely break for everyone to have a chat after practicing martial arts." Qin Shou waved his hand with a smile.

"The school captain contains the art of war in stories. It looks like he is telling stories, but in fact he is teaching us the art of war. If the general guessed correctly, the stories the school captain tells every day should be thirty-six strategies. . What I just said is that encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao is one of the thirty-six strategies." Zhang Liao shook his head.

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this, and their faces showed joy.

"The captain's kindness will be unforgettable." Everyone saluted.

Although these people are uneducated and illiterate, they are not stupid people. The reputation of the Thirty-Six Strategies has long been spread, and everyone can't get it. After all, these military books belong to the aristocratic family, and it is impossible for children from poor families to obtain them. It is passed down from father to son, from master to disciple, how can you tell others casually!
"Brothers, you don't have to be like this. Today, you are either military princes, station commanders, or even corps commanders or soldiers. But once you have accomplished meritorious deeds, you will be military princes, captains, or even generals."

"Whether you are a military lord, a lieutenant, or a general! You all need to master the art of war. Only by knowing how to march and fight, how to use the simplest method and the smallest cost to obtain the greatest victory, and how to protect yourself and your brothers Our lives, these are things you should understand.”

"The organization will tell you everything it knows and help you as much as possible."

Qin Shou also returned the gift to everyone.

"Haha, congratulations, lord. Congratulations, lord. It seems that my subordinates have taken notice of the many famous generals under my lord's command."

Jia Xu came out at this time and congratulated.

"I will pay my respects to the lord." Upon seeing this, Kong Er and others looked at each other and fell to the ground.

The art of war is a secret that is not passed down by a wealthy family, but now Qin Shou has taught it to himself and others without reservation, so he naturally deserves the title of "Lord".

"Everyone, please get up."

Qin Shou felt a little disappointed when he saw that Zhang Liao and Xia Houlan did not recognize him as the master.

However, I quickly put this loss behind me, as long as I am by my side, there will be opportunities in the future.

At the very least, I am very satisfied to have the Xiaoqi camp in front of me in my hands today.

"Sir, I think it is better to set up a martial arts school in the army to teach the brothers in the army how to march and fight and teach them how to read. I will serve as the mountain commander and my husband will be the doctor. Wenyuan, how about you and Xiahou joining?"

Qin Shou finally revealed his purpose.

"My lord has an order, and my subordinates must obey it."

"The general is also willing." Zhang Liao and Xia Houlan also looked happy after hearing this.
