Chapter 1858: The Battle of Shouchun (139)

Discover, cultivate, guarantee.

In his theory, everyone can become excellent soldiers after training, but not everyone can grow into excellent generals, so choose the best soldiers from among the excellent soldiers, that is, we must choose extremely talented talents among them to cultivate, if you can't do this, Liu Lan's theory, the training is not a Guan Yu but a group of waste, Or that this set of theories can dig out a Guan Yu, but it can't turn everyone into Guan Yu's ability, there are too few geniuses and talents.

Therefore, it is necessary to first select those who are physically strong and flexible to enter the army when recruiting troops, select the most top-notch and excellent seedlings among the troops, send them to military academies, and train these outstanding seedlings in military academies, and cultivate them in an all-round way.

The last step, in fact, is the simplest and most difficult, guarantee, how to ensure that these outstanding talents can become successful instead of becoming injured Zhongyong, this is the key, can not be guaranteed, in the end, the talent is deviated, did not come out, there is nothing for the troops, but for them, dozens of hundreds of talents and the families behind them will become a heavy burden, after all, being a soldier is no more than others, and they all have to go to the battlefield in the end, but no matter what their final outcome is, whether they die on the battlefield or not, But at least it is too difficult to ensure that they have the ability to return to the army again, and not to become injured Zhongyong, but because of the difficulty, Liu Lan will put forward the theory of the military academy, and the military academy has become more meaningful.

In the past, Liu Lan's troops were thousands of people, and he couldn't keep an eye on every soldier, so he could only give Guan Yu a few people who might become successful more opportunities, and their growth was logical, but now there are so many troops, don't say that he and Guan Yu can't estimate it, maybe even the captain and the army Sima are difficult, such a free-range breeding, in the end, there will be no success, there must be, but only a few of the hundred outstanding talents have emerged, can it work?

Maybe many of them still complain, after all, there are talents and achievements, but can such a selection mechanism be called perfect?

can't be called, because there is a problem, because the success rate is too low, what Liu Lan wants, it is like the promotion and demotion system set up by him for the dragoon army, after experiencing the big waves and sands, the Liaodong cavalry in Youzhou was able to enter the dragoon army, and after entering the battlefield of the inspection army, the unqualified ones were returned to the Liaodong army, and the end was eliminated, ensuring the combat effectiveness of the dragoons, so he will also use this set of ideas for the military academy, but in the past, it was from Liaodong to Xuzhou, and now it is from all the troops, The current literacy class will go from the army to the general, and in the future the literacy class will go to the military commander, and if you want to be promoted to a captain, you have to go to the military academy.

Jun Sima is in charge of thousands of people, tactics and strategy and so on are not important to them, as long as they obey the order and work hard, but when it comes to the captain, command a song of 5,000 troops, it is different, these 5,000 people in the Han Dynasty is a combat unit, if the captain is very good in all aspects of military literacy, it will only make the combat effectiveness of the men and horses he leads stronger, so the future army, Shi Chang Bai Chang Qianchang and Jun Sima can card military merits, but the pressure to promote the captain, the land can not afford to go to the military school, The four Liu Lan also knew that this might be the same as he patted his head before he came to the decision, but since the current promotion mechanism and talent selection mechanism are extremely backward, then why not make appropriate changes and attempts, if there is a problem, then it is better to correct it in time, it is better than not doing anything and not trying, right?

In later generations, Liu Lan liked a sentence very much, that is, it is better to die than to die, and the screening after experiencing the big waves and sands, so that truly talented soldiers have the opportunity to be promoted instead of never being able to rise, and it is necessary to talk about ability but also about qualifications, so Liu Lan believes that as long as the military academy is established in the future, then talents will continue to emerge, and such a stretched situation will never happen again.

Of course, there is another point is the selection of materials, why did Liao Hua be a pioneer in the late Shu Han Dynasty, and he was not a general in Shuzhong? Why is the general in the book, of course, the selection of materials on a place of Bashu, the talents emerging here naturally can not be compared with Cao Wei, the simplest example is the base of the population, looking for talents from millions of people and looking for talents from hundreds of thousands of people, Shu Hanyan is invincible?

And because of the particularity of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains has been the first attribute of the world in the Han Dynasty, which is far from being comparable to Bashu, and it is to understand this truth, so if he can't get the Central Plains in the future, then with the area he now controls, it will naturally tend to be inferior in terms of population, and now there is such a shortage of talents, and the gap of talents in the future will continue to widen after Cao Cao and Yuan Shaobi, so some things are not a precaution, but an early plan, at least to ensure that there will be no shortage of green and yellow in the future, and no one is available.

Liu Lan is looking forward to the arrival of this trip, but before that, he has to endure the embarrassment that no one is available, it seems that he has a lot of real generals under his account, but this is the result of the situation losing Qingxu Erzhou, if Zhao Yun, Xu Fang, Xu Sheng and even Zang Ba and others are removed from the army now, then Guan Yu and Huang Zhong are left around him, and by the way, there is also Zhang Fei.

It seems that these three people are enough, but if you take Wu Jun and Huiji again in the future, will you send people to garrison them, if you don't send people, then only leave Taishou, and when the time comes, how to deal with Shanyue's attack and disturbance, you must send a general to levy it.

And Liu Lan's talent gap has not been solved, just military generals, civilian officials are even more lacking, although Zheng Xuan's disciples have a lot of protégés, but it is a drop in the bucket, most of the disciples are children of the family, and more people finally choose to return to their hometowns, mainly in Jizhou and Xudu, and stay here, two or three out of ten.

This is all because of Zheng Xuan's relationship, otherwise there are fewer people left, this is the benefit of having a back, the Yuan family is an example, and Cao Cao is the same, not to mention that now Cao Cao is still waving the banner of the Son of Han Tianzi, I don't know how many talents have been attracted to the past, which Liu Lan can't compare now, and he can't compare in the future, he knows very well, but for these talents, Liu Lan also made a decision early on, and even Taixue must be built quickly, what Liu Lan wants to do is not like the traditional Xuan order, a school of dozens of people, Instead, we should vigorously promote education, so that more people, especially ordinary people, can master knowledge, so that knowledge will not become unique to the family.

If you want to do such a thing, the pressure and resistance must be very great, but no matter how difficult it is, Liu Lan will definitely overcome all difficulties, let more people become talents, and then use the Confucian method of selecting the countryside to set a path for them to advance, and choose officials who are educated, experienced, capable and honest.

The pyramid-shaped selection mechanism should not only be used in the army, but also in the locality, only the truly capable people can continue to rise, to give those who are constantly working hard to improve more opportunities, he believes that even if the population ratio can not be compared with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but can be made up for the lack through more efficient material selection, so that he is always qualified to compete with the two.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiu and Zhang Hong set off at the same time to go to Xudu, but not long after Zhang Hong left, Liu Lan suddenly thought of one thing, that is, in history, Zhang Hong seemed to have gone to Xudu at this point in time, and was finally left by Cao Caoqiang, and during the period of Xudu, his acquaintance with Chen Lin led to a good story.

His first thought was to intercept Zhang Hong and change to someone else, but he went away, and even if he was replaced, it might backfire, making him more reasonable to go to Xudu, but in his limited memory, Zhang Hong finally returned to Jiangdong, so Liu Lan was not worried that he would be like Chen Qun and Kong Rong, and never returned.

For the departure of the two, Liu Lan was quite helpless, Cao Cao took advantage of the loophole, there is no way who let him still play the banner of the Han family now, although he can also be like Yuan Shao without the edict, but this time it was exploited, people directly found these two people to pass the edict, and even before that, they secretly contacted Chen Qun's father, the old gentleman and the old Qingtian have a life-saving grace for Liu Lan, what choice the Chen family makes, Liu Lan will not stop them, so they can only let them leave.

And Kong Rong, for the loyalty of the Han family, it is impossible to refuse after seeing the edict, and even there are too many such people around him, they stay in the General's Mansion, that is because the Han family did not summon the Son of Heaven and did not throw an olive branch, if such a situation happens again one day, then they will also leave without hesitation.

For them, Liu Lan can't do anything, but now in Moling, he has the ability to ensure that the edict can't arrive, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and in the future, the edict will go to Moling, and he has to pass the water army first, he gave Zhou Tai a death order this time, of course, because it is the edict of the Son of Heaven, there may be other orders, so when intercepting, it is best to be a water thief rather than the name of the Xuzhou sailor.

Liu Lan didn't let people chase Zhang Hong, so he simply let him go, anyway, he believed that in the end, Zhang Jaw would return to Jiangdong like history, after all, his family and even his family were still in Moling, and then Liu Lan called Guan Yu and Xu Shu over, Guan Yu came, before the Setshan camp returned to Setshan to rest for nearly three months, and returned to Guangling again, in Guan Yu's words, the nest of the Battle of Xuzhou This time they must find it back.

The morale of the Setshan camp is strong, and Liu Lan naturally understands the truth that morale is available, not to mention that if Wen Chou really dares to come this time, then a head-to-head battle is inevitable, of course, now Liu Lan still has some expectations, as long as he can persuade Cao Yuan to one of the sides, then the battle of Guangling will become relatively easy, if the two can be convinced, it is really not certain who wins and who loses in the future, but if they are not convinced, then Liu Lan must consider returning to Moling, as for the Setshan camp, they can only be disappointed again.

Not long after, Guan Yu and Xu Shu came one after another, it can be said that this time the two of them were sent to Yecheng Xudu, Liu Lan made a decision made by one person, and the two only knew the situation from Liu Lan's mouth at this time, but when Liu Lan said the three possibilities that he thought might appear one by one, Guan Yu immediately became anxious, he didn't care if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could convince him, as a general, he only cared about it, that is, the worst result was also the most likely outcome.

Guan Yu immediately got up, but he was stopped by Liu Lan: "Listen to me first, and when I'm done, you will speak." ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, their situation is very complicated, Cao Cao has always been only Yuan Shao's head, it can be said that there is a figure of Yuan Shao in the place where there is Cao Cao over the years, where there is Yuan Shao, there will also be Cao Cao, several battles of Xuzhou are enough to illustrate the problem, but this time the battle of Shouchun is a special case, because of Yuan Shu, the two did not cooperate for the first time to send troops together, maybe Shouchun is a little far away from Yuan Shao, or because of our existence, but this thing looks strange in itself, you must know that Cao Cao was in Kuangting, On the battlefield of Xuzhou and even the battlefield of Yanzhou and Lu Bu, there is Yuan Shao's figure, that is, Zhu Ling, but this time Yuan Shao did not even have a single force to support, which shows that the two may have had a certain contradiction, and even since Zhu Ling surrendered to Cao Cao, there has been no joint operation between the two armies.

Liu Lan has not forgotten Xiahoudun and Gao Lan, but this is different from Zhu Ling's situation after all, the contradiction between them, starting from the Battle of Jizhou, after all these years, especially with Cao Cao's growing power, has reached the moment of complete rupture, and this time the Battle of Shouchun has made it possible for the two to fall apart.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have thought of us in a desperate situation, and united with us, in such a big environment, it is entirely possible for us to make peace with the two at the same time, and even succeed in separating the two, Liu Lan saw Xu Shu get up to speak, waved his hand to stop him, and said: "I know what Yuan Zhi is going to say, it is unlikely that the two will be separated at this time, after all, they know that the purpose of our trip is to destroy their alliance, but they know it, but destruction is destruction, and our purpose is known to everyone, On the bright side, both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao knew that it was nothing, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao still maintained their friendship, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Do you know what Cao Cao or Yuan Shao thinks? Do you really want to destroy us, or Cao Cao, but we have to pierce this layer of window paper for him and put everything in the light, as for what Yuan Shao chooses Cao Cao and what choice Cao makes, does it matter? As long as we prepare for the worst, maybe there will be a better outcome?
