Chapter 217: Punctuation

Lu Bu suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Strategist, how is Pan Feng and Pan Wushuang now?"

When Pan Feng was mentioned, Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he hurriedly replied:

"General Pan's Wushuang Army has now completed its drills, and it has drilled with General Gao Shun's trapping camp many times a few days ago."

"Oh? The result? ”

Lu Bu heard that there had been a fight between them, and hurriedly asked.

Jia Xu blinked his eyes and asked slyly:

"What do you think, my lord?"

Lu Bu was a little stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he shook his head,

"I already know Gao Shun's ability, and after his strengthened training, the strength of the trap camp is even stronger than before."

After a pause, Lu Bu cautiously spoke:

"As for General Pan Fengpan, although he is very famous, I also believe that he has very superb skills in leading troops, but to tell the truth, in such a short period of time, the peerless army he has trained may not be comparable to Gao Shun's trapped camp."

"Hahaha," Jia Xu laughed and said proudly to Lu Bu:

"Lord, you didn't guess right this time."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Xu with interest, waiting for his explanation.

This time, Jia Xu didn't sell Guan Zi again, and explained:

"Pan Feng's peerless army is now almost equal to the trapped camp."

Although Lu Bu felt something in his heart, he was still shocked to hear such a result from Jia Xu's mouth at this moment.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Pan Feng's strength, it's just that in such a short period of time, he can reach such a level, and he can only say that Pan Feng deserves to be called Pan Wushuang.

Jia Xu smiled and threw another bombshell,

"Lord, do you know the most elite troops under Gongsun Zhan?"

"Of course, it's the white horse who obeys."

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu with some confusion and asked rhetorically:

The military advisor said this...... Could it be that there is still a remnant of the White Horse Yicong? ”

Jia Xu nodded with a smile on his face and replied:

"I still can't hide it from you, the white horse does have survivors, but you would never guess that the one who survived and defected to our state would be their main general-Xiahou Lan."

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he stood up directly from his seat, looking at Jia Xu in surprise.

Jia Xu looked back at him with a smile, nodded, and said:

"My lord, it's true. General Xiahoulan and General Zhao Yun are fellow villagers, the two have been friends since childhood, and after the defeat of the Jieqiao army, Xiahoulan escaped under the desperate protection of the guards. Then he thought of defecting to Zhao Yun, so he came to Bingzhou. ”

Lu Bu rubbed his hands in surprise and said in disbelief:

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect Zhao Yun, this kid, to have such a powerful fellow countryman. White Horse Righteousness, White Horse Righteousness, hahahahaha! ”

Lu Bu's excitement was beyond words, and Jia Xu was also very understandable.

Gongsun Chan was able to dominate the north for so long.

It can be said that it is relying on the White Horse to serve this army.

Lu Bu has long been greedy for this army,

It's just that there is no way.

You must know that the forces of all parties are extremely tight for their trump card troops.

Lu Bu now has several formed troops under his command, such as the greedy wolf iron cavalry, the trapped camp, and the Wushuang army.

But as a time-traveler,

He has an unusual collector's habit for famous generals.

For those world-famous super troops, they also have ambitions.

Now I heard that Xia Houlan actually took the initiative to come to defect,

Of course, Lu Bu was overjoyed and couldn't help himself.

sat on Jia Xu's side for a long time,

After the two discussed some other things,

Lu Bu hurriedly returned to Bingzhou City,

There are still a bunch of things here that he needs to deal with personally.

Lu Bu ran to Cai Yong's house first,

Today's Cai Yong is in good spirits,

It's not like it was a few years ago.

When Lu Bu arrived,

Cai Yong was lying on the bookcase in the study, writing hard.

"Teacher!"

Lu Bu took two quick steps and stepped forward to salute.

Cai Yong raised his head and rubbed his somewhat sore eyes.

Seeing that the person who came was Lu Bu,

He was very happy,

But in the blink of an eye,

The smile on his face retracted,

Instead, anger appeared.

"You kid, do you still know to come back? said that it would take two or three months, and this run would be half a year, and I would like to leave an old man to do your work. ”

Lu Bu scratched his head and bowed his head very embarrassed in response to Cai Yong's reprimand.

The master and apprentice have known each other for many years,

Cai Yong could naturally see Lu Bu's well-behaved appearance,

The gas is not even beaten in one place,

Pointing at Lu Bu's nose and scolding,

was so frightened that Lu Bu didn't even dare to breathe,

The key is that Cai Yong is a world-famous bachelor after all,

It's not too much to say that it's a rich five cars,

reprimanded Lu Bu for nearly an hour,

I didn't repeat what I said,

Lu Bu listened to all kinds of Han, cold sweat, waterfall sweat,

It's just a rush,

Finally, Cai Yong seemed to be tired of scolding,

Sitting there gasping for breath,

Seeing this, Lu Bu

Hurriedly picked up the tea on the table and handed it over,

"Dad, Dad, you are angry, the child knows that he is wrong, and the child promises that there will never be a next time!"

Cai Yong glanced at Lu Bu angrily,

But he didn't continue to reprimand,

Fang Cai's stinking scolding also made the anger in his heart dissipate a lot.

Cai Yong is indeed angry,

Lu Bu had promised to pass on one of Cai Wenji's sons to the Cai family.

But not long after I got married to my daughter,

Lu Bu has been busy with all kinds of things,

There is almost no leisure time,

Not to mention preparing to have a child.

The ancients paid attention to family inheritance,

Although Cai Yong is open-minded,

But in this matter it is not exempt from vulgarity,

Naturally, I was very anxious.

But that's not what makes him the most angry.

In addition to more important things,

It is also what Lu Bu once said about school.

Lu Bu but relaxed,

After talking to Cai Yong,

patted his ass and went to busy with his family and country affairs,

This is bitter for Cai Yong himself,

There are a lot of things to do to prepare for the school,

Although Cai Yong often went to Yingchuan Academy to give lectures in the past,

But lecturing and preparing for school are, after all, two different concepts.

And Lu Bu's idea is very novel,

is very different from today's colleges,

And even diametrically opposed in some ways.

This is difficult for Cai Yong, an old scholar.

But fortunately, Cai Yong is experienced after all, and he has a wide range of contacts.

But let him find a lot of helpers,

There are even a few people who have served in Taixue.

Lu Bu walked in front of Cai Yong with a smile and said:

"Hey, Dad, the kid knows you're uncomfortable."

Lu Bu paused and ran to Cai Yong's side,

pretended to pinch Cai Yong's shoulders and hammer his legs,

Old Man Cai squinted at Lu Bu, with a look of disgust,

"You kid don't give me this set."

"Hehe, Dad, you dissipate your anger, and continue to teach the child when you are angry, and the child listens."

"Go aside."

Cai Yong originally had a stiff face,

At this time, I can't bear it anymore,

raised his hand and shook Lu Bu's arm to the side,

laughed and scolded twice,

Cai Yong returned to his serious appearance and said:

"Feng Xian, I have almost compiled the curriculum of this school with a few old friends."

Lu Bu heard Cai Yong talking about business,

This also restores the appearance of seriousness,

He bowed respectfully and said sincerely:

"It's hard work father. These things are very tedious, and the child is really scared. ”

Cai Yong waved his hand and said:

"These things happen to be what my father is good at, and doing these things for my father also feels like having a goal again, which is a good thing."

Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong and said:

"My father's appearance now is indeed much better than in the past, which is really gratifying."

After a pause, Lu Bu asked with concern:

"Father, how ready are the textbooks and personnel of various disciplines now?"

Cai Yong took a book from the bookcase,

While opening it, he said to Lu Bu:

"For my father, I collected and sorted out the books you said, such as the Book of Songs, the Book of Shang, the Book of Zhouyi, the Book of Rites, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Analects and Mencius."

LΓΌ Bu previously proposed to apply the Confucian tradition of the Four Books and Five Classics,

to carry out a basic enlightened education.

It's just that the "University" and "The Mean" in the "Four Books" are two articles in the "Book of Rites" by the famous Southern Song Dynasty physicist Zhu Xi.

Organized separately into a book, this is the classic that appeared.

Lu Bu doesn't have that much ability,

He has never really studied "University" and "The Mean".

Simply put the 'Five Classics' together with the Analects and Mencius,

Compiled as a textbook for the Enlightenment School.

Cai Yong later studied it carefully,

These classics are all-encompassing,

It is a cultural classic with a long history and lofty status in China.

It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese sages.

Reading and learning them, you can not only feel the influence of traditional culture,

It can also cultivate self-cultivation,

At the same time, it can increase knowledge, and it can be inspiring.

The more Cai Yong researches, the more he thinks it's very good.

I have mentioned it to other people many times,

I am full of praise for this suggestion of Lu Bu.

Pointing to a wooden box next to him, Cai Yong continued:

"These books, all in this wooden box."

Lu Bu nodded and opened the wooden box,

I saw that the wooden box was full of books,

The book is tied with bamboo ropes of different colors, presumably to be used for classification.

Cai Yong explains:

"It's fairly easy to collect, and I happen to have some collections at home. It's just that if you want to equip all schools as you said, I'm afraid it's not easy to do. ”

Lu Bu smiled and said:

"Father, you don't have to worry about this, I'll let you see the solution after a while, and I'll definitely be able to satisfy you."

Lu Bu said as he opened one of the scrolls.

This is a volume in "Spring and Autumn",

It is also one of the most widely circulated works in the world today.

There are even many famous military generals,

all regard this book as a classic,

Among them, the most famous is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

But Lu Bu is now looking at this dossier,

The brow is furrowed more and more.

Seeing this, Cai Yong,

Nervously asked, "Feng Xian, but what is the fallacy?" ”

I can't help but be nervous,

This is a teaching material for educating students in the future.

Once there is a mistake, it is not child's play.

And this textbook is still provided by him personally,

That's when I felt very nervous.

Lu Bu shook his head,

Holding the book, Jane thought about it.

In this day and age, there is no punctuation.

This is true of all the writings,

The same is true of the emperor's edicts.

Not to mention Lu Bu who traveled from modern times,

Even the great Confucians of our time,

When reading and learning,

It needs to be figured out word by word.

The writings have all been written in Chinese,

If there is no punctuation,

It is especially difficult to understand.

Therefore, some of the annotations made by famous scholars on the classics of the sages,

will be especially important in the academic world.

Lu Bu quickly figured this out,

opened his mouth and said to Cai Yong:

"Father, this volume is very good, and there is no fallacy in it. The child was thinking about something else. ”

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Cai Yong was relieved.

For the other thing that Lu Bu said,

He was also interested,

Lu Bu often has some whimsical ideas,

Often these novel ideas are very practical,

can even bring about revolutionary change,

He looked at Lu Bu expectantly and asked:

"Fengxian, what do you have in mind? Let's hear it. ”

Lu Bu organized the language,

Only then did he slowly speak:

"Father, did you find it difficult to study these classics in the past?"

Cai Yong nodded and said as a matter of course:

This is natural, the ideas of the sages are broad and profound, and the articles they compiled contain all the truth, and when you first learn these articles, you will naturally find them obscure. Even nowadays, there are many books that I struggle to read. ”

Lu Bu nodded,

was about to tell Cai Yong about the punctuation,

Suddenly I thought about it,

This strange thing,

Say it in words,

It's better to mark it out directly,

It will make it easier to understand.

took the pen and ink from Cai Yong's desk at the moment,

At the same time, pick up a piece of bamboo slip next to it,

Placed next to one of the bamboo slips in the volume of "Spring and Autumn",

The words and sentences are marked out on the blank bamboo slips with punctuation marks.

Cai Yong has been observing Lu Bu's movements,

Seeing the strange symbols that Lu Bu marked on the bamboo slips,

Doubts appeared on his face.

Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Cai Yong and blinked his eyes.

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu suspiciously,

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.

Lu Bu pointed to two pieces of books,

Speak and read:

"The eighteenth year of Zhuang Gong: Therefore, although he is the Son of Heaven, he must be respected. If you are a prince, you will have a long time. Therefore, the Son of Heaven is facing the sun, and the princes are in court. ”

This is a passage from "The Biography of Liang in the Spring and Autumn Valley".

Lu Bu according to the punctuation marks,

Read this passage in a subdued tone,

The context and sense of the whole sentence are immediately apparent.

Cai Yong didn't think much of it at first,

But when he looked at those strange symbols,

Recalling the way Lu Bu recited just now,

Suddenly, his eyes widened,

Looking at Lu Bu,

Asked in amazement:

"Fengxian, this, this ......"

Cai Yong pointed to the strange symbols on the book,

I don't know what to call it.

"Father, it's called punctuation. These are just some of the things that work to separate the article and help us understand what it is intended to be. ”

Lu Bu handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Cai Yong's hand and explained slowly.
