Chapter 24: The Key to the Future
The first of the three watches is offered, and I ask for votes on the list, thank you.
――――
"When does my father plan to leave for Fankou?" Looking at Liu Bei's outfit, Liu Feng felt that this sentence was a bit redundant.
"Without further ado, my father plans to set off with your third uncle tonight." Liu Bei's answer was as Liu Feng expected, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious, and he couldn't even wait for a night to evacuate to safety.
Liu Bei picked up the leopard helmet, looked around at the three people present, and said in a low voice: "Your third uncle is already waiting at the dock, and I will leave." The matter of Xiakou is temporarily discussed by Yun Chang and Yuan Zhi, and in case of major events, remember to send someone to Fankou to ask me for instructions. Also, in matters that have been discussed in secret before, you will be at the mercy of the assignment of the Yuanzhi. ”
Liu Bei hurriedly set off after a few more words, and those who went to Fankou with him that night were not only Zhang Fei and a thousand soldiers and horses, but also the family members of high-level officials such as Gan's Adou.
After bidding farewell to Liu Bei, it was already late at night, and on the way back to the city, seeing that there were all his own people around, Liu Feng couldn't help but ask: "Listening to what my father said before, it seems that there is still a secret order to explain to Mr. Yuan Zhi, and I don't know if it's inconvenient to reveal it." ”
Xu Shu squinted and glanced left and right, and when he was sure that there were no eyes and ears around him, he said in a low voice: "The secret order of the lord is actually to ask us to take the opportunity of entering Xiakou to secretly eat the soldiers and horses of Prince Zide, and try to strive for full control of Jiangxia County before the Cao army attacks." ”
Liu Feng's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of Liu Qi's sincere and straightforward appearance, his enthusiasm for his uncle and his younger brother. In desperation, people took you in, but you wanted to steal other people's family business from beginning to end, even if you used survival as an excuse in troubled times, then this monkey anxious mentality is a bit unkind.
"Zide is upright, and he seems to be completely defenseless against us, and it is not difficult to seize his power, I don't know what Mr. plans to do?" Liu Feng could only follow the topic and ask.
Xu Shu gently pinched the horse's belly, and opened up some distance from the people behind him, Liu Feng understood, and pretended to follow casually.
"Zide Gongzi's defense of the lord, although it is not as strict as his father Jingsheng, but it is not as easy to deal with as the eldest prince said, otherwise, why should he not live in a comfortable mansion, but he has to move to the Jiangxia army's barracks to live. Could it be that there is no other mansion in Xiakou City, which is too dignified, except for the Taishou Mansion that he let out, there is no other mansion? ”
Being reminded by Xu Shu like this, Liu Feng thought about Liu Qi's actions and indeed found a few suspicious traces. First, he moved into the barracks, and later rarely visited Liu Bei alone, either inviting Liu Bei to meet in his camp, or making an appointment to meet him elsewhere on the pretext of inspecting the city defense by the way.
"In this way, Zide is already suspicious of his father, isn't it because our plan in Hanshui has leaked out?"
Xu Shu smiled: "This may not be. I guess Zide's performance is nothing more than because of the main government's alliance with Soochow. The lord has no enmity with the Sun family, but Zide has a feud with the Sun family after all, and it is not surprising that he has this precautionary heart. ”
Xu Shu's analysis was meticulous and logical, and Liu Cover showed admiration, but sighed: "Since Zide has taken precautions, and this is his territory, we are afraid that it will not be so easy to usurp his power." ”
The corners of Xu Shu's mouth were slightly slanted, and a sly smile appeared on his bronzed face: "How can this matter be difficult for me Xu Shu, when I go back and drink a few jars of good wine, I will naturally come up with a clever plan." ”
Xu Shu smiled confidently, looking at the sturdy body beside him, Liu Feng suddenly thought: The same seven-foot strong man, some people are just horses, while some people have deep wisdom, clever calculations like gods, the difference is worlds apart.
"Mr. Yuanzhi, I really don't know where you learned your clever tricks, is it your teacher, Mr. Shuijing?" Liu Feng had a feeling and asked casually.
Xu Shu was stunned at first, and then smiled heroically: "Although Mr. Shuijing is my teacher, to be honest, what the teacher did was just introduce students to the door. The ink in my belly, the real teacher is actually another master. ”
"I don't know who it is?" Liu Feng became interested. He knew that Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang had studied at Mr. Shuijing, and now he heard Xu Shu mention that there were more intelligent teachers, so he was naturally very curious.
Caressing a few strands of light beard, Xu Shu's expression pretended to be mysterious, and he brewed for a long time, but only one word came out of his mouth: "Book." ”
"Books?" Liu Feng was stunned.
"Astronomy and geography, human feelings, the art of war and politics, everything you want to learn in the world is all in the book, isn't the book the most brilliant teacher in the world?"
In one sentence, Liu Feng broke through the mystery, and suddenly, Liu Feng's heart was full of excitement, and he had a kind of enlightenment in a trance.
'Liu Feng, Liu Feng, you should feel ashamed, you are thinking about changing your destiny all day long, but you are at a loss because you have no direction, have you forgotten what the primary school teacher taught you - knowledge changes fate. ’
Although we have more than 1,000 years of knowledge, how many of those mathematics, physics and chemistry, computers, technologies, networks, etc., can really be used in this era, except for some superficial historical knowledge?
This is a completely different era, the people of this era, their way of thinking, their code of conduct, their ethics and morality, how they fight with soldiers, how they govern the country, how they get along with friends, how they distinguish between right and wrong, and how their values ......
There is everything about this era, what you know is only the surface, and if you don't understand all this deeply, how can you change your destiny in such a new era.
And everything that Liu Feng wants to know about this era, as Xu Shu said, is all in the book.
In an instant, Liu Feng seemed to have found a key to open the door to the future.
For a long time, in order not to reveal his identity, in order not to arouse Liu Bei's vigilance, Liu Feng could only understand the world by knocking on the side. Even if he had the heart to improve his martial arts and strategy in using soldiers, he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for advice from masters like Zhao Yun and Xu Shu.
But now that he had figured it out, if I couldn't ask others for advice, why couldn't I teach myself? As a modern person, even such a boring subject as mathematics, physics and chemistry can be gnawed down hard, and it has been gnawed for more than 20 years, so now, in order to change his fate, what is the difficulty of learning something really useful.
Liu Feng, who had figured out everything, was clear in his heart at the moment, and exclaimed excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Then he rode his horse and went first.
Looking at the back of Liu Feng, who was gone, Xu Shu's facial features were blank, and he muttered: "Strange, thank me for what......"
