Nanyang, Wancheng.

Lu Bu is lecturing at Nanyang Academy.

Well, it's a lecture, and Lu Bu used his life's experience in leading soldiers to teach his disciples, and for Lu Bu himself, his understanding of the art of war and battle formation is also a little deeper.

When Zhang Liao took Li Ru to the academy, he saw Lu Bu teaching his disciples the art of riding and fighting there, Zhang Liao wanted to call, but was stopped by Li Ru: "Since Wen Hou is still teaching, Wen Yuan might as well take me to see how about this Nanyang Academy?" ”

Originally, knowing that when Lu Bu followed Guanzhong to establish the academy, Li Ru felt a little crying and laughing, Nanyang even used the county orders in each county to promote the original county officials, where did the people come from to help them teach.

But after arriving at Nanyang Academy, Li Ru found some differences, Nanyang Academy is different from the professors of the major academies in Guanzhong, Guanzhong Academy teaches mainly knowledge, and of course there are professors in the art of war, but it is only one of them, and when he arrives at Nanyang Academy, he specializes in the art of war and martial arts, but there are very few professors of knowledge, and they only teach people to read and write.

"It's fine." Zhang Liao nodded, Guanzhong is the place where the academy arose, and Zhang Liao also wanted to ask Li Ru for advice.

At the moment, a group of people accompanied Li Ru to visit around the academy, and the surrounding Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals also had no complaints, now the times are different, although Lu Buwei is famous, but the situation in this world has become increasingly clear, Chen Mo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao three points of the Central Plains, Jiangdong, Jingzhou in the south, although Lu Bu is brave, but several times south to plot Jingzhou but blocked by waterways, they are good at land warfare, but this water combat is not their forte.

Lu Bu also gradually rested his mind of going south to Jingzhou, but to the north was Chen Mo, pressed like a mountain, and to the east was Cao Cao's territory, and they also captured the city, but in the end there was still a shortage of food and grass, and Cao Cao drove them back.

Although he did not set a name, it is an indisputable fact that Chen Mo is now Lu Bu's backer, and therefore, this time Li Ru came, and all the generals were quite polite.

Accompanied by Zhang Liao and others, Li Ru visited Nanyang Academy, what do you say...... It's more like a academy for training generals, teaching basically the knowledge of marching and fighting, as well as a sand table specially used to deduce conquests, Lu Bu also followed Chen Mo's example to collect craftsmen, originally to make instruments and weapons, but it also changed the livelihood of Nanyang people in disguise.

Because of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu's imitation of the Guanzhong system, the wealthy families of the Nanyang family fled after being suppressed several times, which is also the fundamental reason why Lu Bu is unavailable, but because of this, Lu Bu can better follow the law of Guanzhong.

Although now under the rule of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it is also effective to imitate Chen Mo's shadow, but the most thorough learning has to belong to Lu Bu, Lu Bu came to Nanyang in the Xingping years, after these years of governance, Nanyang also has its own operating system, not to mention rich, but the people will not starve to death, after all, no matter how big Nanyang is, it is only a county, and there are several counties in Cao Cao's hands, and the management pressure is much easier than Chen Mo, the most important thing is that Lu Bu's law can be implemented, maybe he was in a hurry back then, but over the years, It has gradually developed its own way of working.

This is also why Liu Ming occupies the land of Jingxiang, has a lot of soldiers and a wide range of food, and the Jingzhou family is also supportive of Liu Biao's recapture of Nanyang from Lu Bu, but he has never been able to help Lu Bu, not only after crossing the border of the Han River, the Jingzhou army can not beat the elite soldiers under Lu Bu, and more importantly, although Nanyang is not as rich as Jingzhou, but the execution of the army is fast and terrifying.

"What do students think of Nanyang Academy?" Zhang Liao asked with a smile.

"Although it is different from the academies in Guanzhong, it has its own lineage, no wonder the lord also appreciates Wen Hou so much, and it is unique." Li Ru twisted his beard and smiled.

Belch......

Zhang Liao opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, God knows that the reason why this Nanyang Academy was established back then, Lu Bu just felt that everyone was building it, and he should build it too, and at the beginning, Lu Bu didn't want to build it like this, but there was really no one to use, so Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng took the plunge and became the lecturer of the academy, and Nanyang Academy became what it is today, and it was really all by luck and mistakenly.

It's just that he can't say this, isn't that Luo Lu Bu's face?

"I can ask the lord to send a few wise men to Nanyang Academy to help." Li Ru said with a smile: "What you need to know is a military general, if you want to become a general, you also need to know some changes in heaven and earth, and the Qimen formation." Li Ru smiled.

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard this: "If you can get the help of the Marquis of Changling, it is really a blessing for all the people of Nanyang." ”

A few people visited the academy, and when they came back again, Lu Bu's teaching had ended, and after seeing Li Ru, Lu Bu was also full of emotion, when he was a minister in the same hall, ten years passed in a blink of an eye, I don't know when it started, this time seems to have passed a lot.

When the old people met, the atmosphere was also harmonious, and Lu Bu welcomed Li Ru into the government office and set up a banquet to entertain them.

"In the past, Chang'an was goodbye, and now it's been almost ten years." Lu Bu raised the wine buds, drank a glass of wine with Li Ru, and said with a smile.

"Eight years." Li Ru counted the days and said with a smile: "After a long time, Wen Hou's spirit is still the same, but he is much older below." ”

Although Lu Bu is also nearly forty years old, but he looks like a dragon and a tiger, and his momentum is more prosperous than back then, these years in Nanyang, Lu Bu has nothing to teach the disciples of the academy, or go out to learn from the Jingzhou generals, or go to Cao Cao's territory to grab some population resources, after the structure of Nanyang is established, there is no need to worry too much about the operation, even if you worry about it, it is Zhang Liao's business, Lu Bu does not manage much, there are no distractions, and he practices martial arts every day, and the old is naturally slow.

On the other hand, Li Ru, all the miscellaneous affairs of the court over the years, he has worried the most, and he has been thinking about it all day long, the two are of the same age, and now they are reunited again, and they feel that Li Ru is much older than Lu Bu.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lu Bu saw that Li Ru never went to the topic, he was a little annoyed, looked at Li Ru and said: "Wenyou, you and I have been old friends for many years, although Lu Bu doesn't like to plan, but he also knows that you are here, there will be something to discuss with me, but you are a little boring to hide it like this." ”

"Why should Feng Xian be in a hurry?" Li Ru said with a smile: "I came here this time, but I also came for Wen Hou." ”

"Say." Lu Bu's face sank, he was most annoyed by this now.

"Jiangdong Sun Ce, enterprising Jiangxia, Huang Zu was defeated and retreated, and Wenpin, Liu Pan, and Liu Hu were not victorious." Li Ru said solemnly.

"Liu Biao is incompetent, if it weren't for the Han River, how could he sit firmly in Jingxiang." Speaking of Liu Biao, Lu Bu was a little disdainful, after all, beating Liu Biao and Liu Biao to fund almost all of them has become a must-do for Lu Bu every year, and now that Sun and Liu are competing, it is really not surprising that Liu Biao is defeated by Lu Bu.

"But if Jingxiang is obtained by Sun Ce, then Sun Ce will have Jiangdong and Jingxiang, and its potential will not be under my lord, Sun Ce is quite brave and enterprising, if he gets Jingxiang, I am afraid that the next step is Nanyang." Li Ru sighed.

"You mean, you want me to join forces with Liu Biao?" Lu Bu frowned.

"You can say the same thing." Li Ru nodded and said, "If Wen Hou agrees, I will go to Xiangyang to discuss this matter with Liu Biao, and the two will join forces to repel Sun Ce." ”

Sun Ce captured Jingxiang, there will be a tendency to unify the south, Chen Mo is naturally unwilling to have one more force in the south to compete with the three princes before the three major princes of the Central Plains decide the real northern overlord, and Sun Ce himself is too aggressive, Jiangdong soldiers and horses are good at water warfare, if he is left alone, let Sun Ce continue to plot Jingxiang after occupying Jiangxia, maybe he can really make him become, this is also the reason why Chen Mo asked Li Ru to come over, not only to persuade Lu Bu, but more importantly, to promote the momentum of the alliance between the two families and restrain Sun Ce.

"Sun Ce Xiao'er, I am enough to repel it alone, Wen You only needs to inform Liu Biao that when I go on the expedition, let his people stay away from me, and the grain and grass needed will be liquidated after the war." Lu Bu shook his head, Liu Biao can't believe it, this time the army is to help Liu Biao, the reward is necessary, and it will not be less, but Lu Bu is worried that Liu Biao is behind his back, so this grain and grass has to be counted after the war, and he is not afraid that Liu Biao will not give it, Nanjun is separated by Han River, he can't help it, but Jiangxia doesn't have too many barriers, Liu Biao doesn't give it, he will take it himself, and when the time comes, it won't be a little grain and grass that can be sent.

"Don't be reckless!" Li Ru persuaded: "That Sun Ce is now in the prime of life, and he has been in battle for a long time, and he has a lot of courage under his command, if he is despised, I am afraid he will ......."

Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Li Ru lightly: "Wen You is saying that I am old, and I am not the enemy of these young people?" ”

Compared to Sun Ce's age, Lu Bu is indeed an older generation of generals now, but Lu Bu obviously doesn't think so.

"Wen Hou is brave all over the world, but that Sun Ce is brave, and he is even more above his father, you should know the name of the Jiangdong Tiger back then." Li Ru persuaded.

"The one who was cut down by Dian Wei?" Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows, frowned and looked at Li Ru, what do you mean? Dian Wei is a defeated general, a person who was chopped off by Dian Wei, also took it out to compare with me?

Li Ru pinched his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said: "I mean, just Sun Ce, why bother to do it himself, Confucianism thinks that letting Wen Yuan lead a group of men and horses to go forward is enough to repel it." ”

"Wen Yuan can't do it, this Nanyang thing can't do without him." Lu Bu immediately objected, most of Nanyang's big and small affairs depend on Zhang Liao, if Zhang Liao leaves, won't these things fall on him? Compared with dealing with these, Lu Bu is more willing to go out to fight, and it would be good if he could relax for a few days.

When Li Ru heard this, he looked at Zhang Liao, but saw that Zhang Liao was a little helpless, there were no officials in Nanyang who could deal with the affairs of a county, and now he and Lu Bu were dealing with it, Lu Bu said so, obviously for a period of time, Nanyang affairs have to be entrusted to himself, and when he thought of this, even Zhang Liao was a little helpless.

"In this way, Feng Xian will prepare here first, and I will go to Xiangyang to discuss this matter with Liu Biao." Li Ru got up and said.

"It's not too late to leave tomorrow, what's the hurry? Even if Jiangxia is completely lost, I will help him fight back, as long as Liu Biao is willing to pay more grain and grass, how big is it? Lu Bu waved his hand, it is rare for the old people to reunite, and this matter will not be done in this day or two.

"It's fine."
