Chapter 399: The Way of Shooting
Because there were more people, Yuan Quan made two arrangements. Sun Ce and others dined in the main hall, and several people talked about official business while eating. Zhang Cheng and Sun Quan, a few half-grown children, listened to the hearing, increased their knowledge, learned from them the way of governing the country and using the army, and prepared them for their future careers. These are things that cannot be learned in the scriptures of the saints, and they are the privileges of the children of the family. In the future, when they enter the office, they will be one step higher in vision than the children of poor families who seek class breakthroughs by studying hard.
Sun Ce confronted the family, but he also knew very well that the existence of social classes had its inevitability, and it was impossible to have a hostile attitude towards the family, what he wanted to do was to break the solidification of the class, maintain social circulation, and prevent the family from controlling the selection of talents, and regard power as a forbidden. I couldn't get along with Xu Shao several times, not because he had a bad impression of Xu Shao himself, but because he wanted to compete for the right to speak and use human rights.
After hearing what happened to Feng Fang, Qiao Rui felt uncomfortable. He also has a lot of old people who served in the Chang'an court, and I don't know how many people will survive the war.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Ce proposed personnel adjustments. Qiao Rui has experience in commanding troops, and he is a native of Suiyang, so he was asked to serve as the general of Diannong Zhonglang and lead a part of the Runan Yellow Turbans to surrender in the Tuntian area of Dangshan. Feng Fang was appointed as the general of An Min Zhonglang, and he was in Tuntian in the area of Xu County. After the rebellion of the Western Liang soldiers in Yingchuan, and many people moved their families to Hebei, there was a lot of ownerless land that could be used.
With these two tuntian points, one east and one west, echoing each other, the food supply of several fortresses of the Huaishui defense line can be partially solved. In case the troops are insufficient, the Tuntian soldiers can still stand up for a period of time, waiting for reinforcements, and the battle line will not collapse.
Qiao Rui was a little reluctant to lose his position as the Taishou of Runan, but he also knew that he couldn't handle these families in Runan, and Sun Ce was not satisfied with his work. Now that Zhang Zhao, a famous man, is here, Sun Ce wants Zhang Zhao to give it a try. Let him be appointed as a pawn farmer Zhonglang will be a flat move, and let Feng Fang, an old colleague, accompany him, which has already given him a lot of face. After following Sun Ce for so long, he believed that Sun Ce would not treat him badly, so he readily agreed, and took the initiative to recommend Zhang Zhao to be the Taishou of Runan.
Of course, Feng Fang had no opinion, and when he went and returned, Sun Ce not only didn't give him a look, but also let him take on a heavy responsibility, and he was inexplicably grateful.
Sun Ce pushed the boat down the river and decided the matter at the dinner table.
After talking about official business, Sun Ce talked about Guandetang again. Zhang Zhao disagreed. In response to Sun Ce's accusation that he can't shoot the main skin, he explained that not shooting the main skin does not mean that the accuracy of archery is not valued, after all, archery is still judged by whether it hits or not, not only that, but different parts also have different scoring methods, which itself shows that archery has a very standardized judgment standard.
Why can't I shoot the main skin? In fact, it is to ask the archers not to limit their eyes to the target, that is the result, not the process. Archery can prescribe the process, not the outcome. The process is right, and the result will not be too bad. If the process is not right, even if you occasionally hit one or two arrows, it is not representative of your archery skills, and it is more likely to be accidental luck.
Sun Cemao paused. It turns out that this is what it means to shoot the main skin? He glanced at Huang Zhong and Chen Dao, and both Huang Chen nodded yes, agreeing with Zhang Zhao's opinion.
Zhang Zhao also said that now the car war is not prevalent, the role of the archer has weakened, but the bow and crossbow is still an irreplaceable weapon, Guandetang is not an ordinary archer, but the cultivation of archers, the etiquette of archery itself is not only a ritual, but also a physiological and psychological adjustment process, only the physiological and psychological adjustment to the best state, perfect in accordance with the standard requirements of archery, it is possible to do a hundred shots.
At that level, archery is not a killing technique, but a Tao. With this kind of realm, even if you don't fight on the battlefield, you can still benefit from doing other things.
Sun Ce praised it and thanked him, admitting that he was shallow.
Zhang Zhao smiled and said, Actually, you can't be blamed for this, I myself am not very proficient in archery. With the development of Confucianism to this day, learning has become more and more cumbersome, and many people have been unable to extricate themselves from a few words all their lives, but they have forgotten to practice this most basic element. I suggested that Mrs. Wu build a temple of virtue and cultivate young people like Sun Quan, hoping to go back to the source and reproduce the teachings of the saints. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you build a church or not, and it doesn't matter where you build it, what matters is that you have a heart to ask, rather than simply practicing archery for the purpose of killing.
The master is trapped between Chen Cai, he has not eaten for seven days, and he can still sing in the room, how can this state of mind be something that ordinary people can have? Everyone knows that the master is very knowledgeable, how many people still remember that the master is a burly husband, who can be proficient in archery? Nowadays, although there are still scholars who practice stabbing, there are fewer and fewer people who are both civil and military, and there are more and more people who moan and pretend without disease. If this continues, Confucianism will not be Confucian.
Sun Ce was surprised. He had always thought that Zhang Zhao was a conservative, but he didn't expect him to be so open-minded. Thinking of his encouragement to Sun Shangxiang to follow the example of a good woman, he felt more and more that he might have preconceived prejudices against Zhang Zhao. If it weren't for Zhang Hong's reminder, he would have almost ignored this talent.
Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi also felt that they had gained a lot, nodded in agreement, and asked a few more words. They shoot arrows well, but there is still a certain distance from the Tao, and at this level, whether they can continue to break through is no longer something that can be solved by hard training, and they must work theory, and Zhang Zhao's opinion has greatly inspired them.
Sun Ce said angrily: "Then please ask Mr. to choose a site to build Guande Hall, no matter how much money it is, I will find a way to raise it." ”
"I know that there are a lot of places where the military spends money, so don't spend money to build a church, be polite in your heart, and don't have sheep." Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "I also have a good archery for the general, but I need the general to invite him personally." ”
Sun Ce was surprised, Zhang Zhao would also joke? "I wonder which master Mr. is talking about?"
"Chen Wangpet."
Sun Ce thought about it carefully, and suddenly slapped his thigh, blaming himself. How did he forget about this man.
If the historical record is true, the first archer in the late Han Dynasty was neither Lu Bu, nor Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, or someone, but Chen Wang Liu Chong. The book says that he was very brave, especially good at bows and crossbows, and could not only shoot ten shots, but also shoot in the same place. The reason why he did not become famous in this troubled era at the end of the Han Dynasty was because he died early and was killed by the assassins of the Yuan Shu faction.
Liu Pet is not without opportunities to play. In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans rose everywhere, and Chen Guo was in the chaos of the army but survived alone, because Liu Chong personally commanded the troops and defended himself with thousands of crossbows, and the people of Chen knew that he was good at shooting, and no one dared to touch his tiger whiskers, telling each other that the Yellow Turban Army avoided fighting and many refugees fled into Chen Guo and asked him for shelter.
Now Yuan Shu is dead, but Liu Chong is still alive. According to the information collected by Guo Jia, he led his troops to Yangxia on the south bank of Huaishui, and the target of prevention was Yanzhou, and he cooperated very well with Luo Junyi, the minister of state guarding the national capital, in the south and north. The news Guo Jia received also mentioned that Liu Chongshan was good at shooting, but he didn't think about it.
A sharpshooter with ten shots, but he doesn't realize his value at all, this is the darkness under the lamp. If you want to talk about archery, such a person is a master who has really entered the Dao, even if Huang Zhong and Lu Bu are called, in terms of archery, they may not be able to defeat him.
A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake, so no matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to dominate the world alone, and he still needs the assistance of talents.
"I'll go tomorrow."
Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction. "The general knows that he can change his mistakes, and he is very good."
