Guo Jia smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”

Gan Ning swept his gaze and saw that Sun Ce's face was calm with a hint of expectation, while Shen You, Gu Hui and the others were silent with a smile, clearly meaning to watch the excitement, and couldn't help but feel angry, but they didn't have a seizure. He knew that he didn't read much, and he had the experience of being a river thief, and he was despised, and now he went to Wu with Sun Ce, and Sun Ce handed him the important task of pacifying Taihu Lake, and it was inevitable that some people would not accept it. In the past, he would speak ill of each other and even draw a knife to cut people, but now he will fight back with practical actions.

Isn't it just for this moment that so many days of preparation?

Gan Ning adjusted his breathing. "The master has a saying, the benevolent person enjoys the mountain, the wise man enjoys the water, without him, the mountain is still and the water is moving. The mountains are winding and winding, and the trees are shading, but after all, it is still life, and unless there is a landslide and an earthquake, the situation will not change much. Water warfare is not the case, the water situation and wind direction are not changing, and there are no certain rules. The difficulty of mountain warfare lies in the fact that the army cannot be deployed, the vision is difficult and far, and it is born from the elbow and armpit, and the battle is hasty. Water warfare, on the other hand, seems to be a vast expanse of blue water, a thousand miles at a glance, the actual threat is everywhere, whether it is an abyss or a shallow canal, whether it is a slow stream or a rapid, no one can tell, the slightest difference in the pool, or the worry of running aground, or the difficulty of overturning......"

Gan Ning talked eloquently, comparing the difference between mountain warfare and water warfare from all aspects, although the writing was insufficient, but it was very realistic, and every sentence was to the point. Not only Sun Ce and Guo Jia felt that it made sense, but even Shen You and other Wu people felt that they had benefited a lot. They are aware of the situation on the islands in Taihu Lake, but they are also confused about the water conditions around them.

After all, they are scholars, and even if they visit Taihu Lake, they are guided by other people's boats, how do they know where they can take big boats, where they can only take small boats, where there is an abyss, and where it is easy to run aground. As for water warfare, they are even more superficial, far less experienced than Gan Ning.

Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and was relieved. Gan Ning has been working hard lately, and he has been very well prepared for his homework. "Xingba, if my guess is right, this is probably the most incisive article on water warfare, Feng Xiao, Zizheng, have you ever seen such an incisive article on water warfare?"

Guo Jia and Shen You shook their heads in unison. "Unheard of."

"Xingba, write these opinions of yours into an article, and use them as the teaching materials of the water master of the martial arts hall in the future. The experience of Niu Zhu's battle should also be written down, and this habit should be developed in the future, and each battle must be summarized and written, which is also a process of reflection. ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank him. With Sun Ce's support, he doesn't have to worry about the difficulties of these literati.

"Zizheng, in the last battle of Changmen, you also have to write out the experience, the more detailed the better."

"Whoa." Shen You bowed down to receive the order. "General, I have a suggestion."

"You say."

"I would like to ask General Ma and General Yan to assist. As for infantry tactics, I am confident that I can write down, but I am relatively unfamiliar with cavalry tactics, and I was relatively far away from the battlefield at that time, so I couldn't see it clearly. Only by asking General Ma and General Yan to supplement can the cavalry part be complete. ”

Sun Ce was very satisfied and turned his head to look at Ma Chao. Yan Xing commanded the righteous servant to ride, not in the big tent, only Ma Chao was by his side at any time. "Meng Qi, the cavalry part will be handed over to you, and you are the one who personally executes it. I have one more request for you. ”

Ma Chao puffed up his chest and his eyebrows danced. "General, please."

"Consult the classics, combine your practical experience in Liangzhou, and summarize the history of the development of cavalry warfare."

The smile on Ma Chao's face suddenly froze, and his eyebrows jumped. "General, I'...... I can't write any history, this ...... Too heavy, right? ”

"You warriors who are proficient in cavalry warfare don't know the history of cavalry warfare, and you still count on the scholars in the study? Don't worry about writing, it's all about insight. Don't worry about imperfection, as long as there is something to say, even one or two hundred words, it is better than an empty tirade. ”

Seeing that Ma Chao was still afraid of difficulties, Sun Ce encouraged again: "Learning from the past and knowing the future, learning from the past is not the goal, knowing the future is the key." Why was Master Huang able to research a better smelting technique in just a few months? Not only because he is smart, but more importantly, he combed through the information accumulated by Nanyang Tieguan in the previous decades or even hundreds of years, and found the pattern from it. If you can find the law of the development of cavalry warfare, and push it one step further, maybe you can usher in a major breakthrough. ”

Ma Chao rolled his eyes, a little moved, but his confidence was still insufficient. He is very proficient in cavalry warfare, but he does not know anything about the classics, and he is also confused about what cavalry warfare was like in the past.

"Don't rush, take your time, even if you can't make an article in the end, it never hurts to think about it."

"Whoa." Ma Chao scratched his head and reluctantly agreed.

Zu Lang drove the wolf and devoured the tiger, and with his own strength, the three strongest bandits of Tongguan Mountain, Fuhu Mountain, and Shimen Mountain killed each other, and could no longer pose a major threat to Yangxian, Sun Ce immediately arranged the next strategy, the most important point was to send people to strengthen the garrison of the hometown.

Therefore, it was formerly known as Yan County, which was the county governance of Yan County in the Qin period, and was the combination of the plain area in the north and the hilly area in the south. It's just that the location is too easterly, and the control of the west is not strong, and it was later moved to Wanling. By controlling the old area, you can cut off the connection between the surrounding mountains of Yangxian and the southern hilly areas, which can not only prevent the bandits in the north from fleeing south, but also control the bandits in the southern mountains to go north.

Sun Ce discussed repeatedly with Guo Jia, Shen You and others, and finally decided to let the guard general Guo Jun be appointed as the lieutenant of Danyang and stationed in his hometown. In order for him to perform his task smoothly, Sun Ce not only let him take away five hundred personal guards, but also asked Shen You to recommend a person who was familiar with the local people to assist him. After Shen You weighed it repeatedly, he recommended Lu Kang's son Lu Jun to be the head of the old house.

Sun Ce agreed. He originally intended to let Lu Jun become a leader, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity. Lu Kang is old and reluctant to go out, and Lu Yi is too young, and no one in the Lu family currently serves in the area under his control, which is not conducive to balancing the power of Wu County. However, he also knew that Shen You was also selfish in doing this, the Shen family and the Lu family had an in-law relationship, and Shen Luan of the Shen family married the daughter of the late Guangling Taishou Lu Chou, and the Lu family's power would not be harmful to the Shen family.

For this reason, Sun Ce personally went to Gusu City to visit Lu Kang. Lu Kang was surprised and delighted, and took Sun Ce to visit the county school under construction, and met with some newly recruited scholars in the county school. Wujun Junxue was originally in the city of Gusu, Lu Kang felt that the city was too lively, not conducive to learning, so he chose a piece of land in Qiziling in the west of the city to build a new one, which is not far from the city, convenient to live, and relatively quiet.

This land is the property of the Lu family, it was originally the place where Lu Kang studied when he was young, and there are some houses, and there are already many scholars who come to live in it. Hearing that Sun Ce was coming, they went out to watch, and Lu Kang introduced Sun Ce one by one. These people are local to Wu County, and there are also some people who come to the north to take refuge, in the past, these people were attached to each family, whether they can eat or not, it all depends on the face of the host's family, and now the county school recruits talents, and the government provides food and clothing, and many people come to hear the news, especially those who are not very happy.

For example, Bu Qi and Wei Jing.
