And the state, the camp tent of the auxiliary general Li Jing.

Li Jing said to his beloved apprentice Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, the division will recommend you to go to Zhongnan Mountain Yong'an King Li Xuan to study, I hope you can learn his immortal methods and the essence of using soldiers." I have studied his "People's War" and "Guerrilla Warfare" for the teacher, and found that his art of war and strategy are completely different from the use of troops for the division, but he is a family of his own. Defeating the strong with the weak, the way of survival, and the flexibility of using troops can be described as a must, but I don't know where he learned such a military inheritance? Could it be that which hermit sage left such a peculiar strategy of using troops and was learned by Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an? It's really strange to live alone and have a system of its own. With his art of war, theoretically he will definitely be able to win a war, but there is really no such strategy and system of using troops in the history books. ”

Soon, Li Jing recommended Su Dingfang to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to study in the seclusion of Li Xuan in Zhongnan Mountain, and a number of generals in the army, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin, etc., also recommended their children to study in Zhongnan Mountain.

A few days later, a full 2,000-person study army gathered in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and after that, they drove into Zhongnan Mountain and came to Li Xuan's hermitage.

It took Li Xuan three months to teach everyone four things: Hanyu Pinyin, Mandarin, Arabic numerals, and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These are the most basic and practical knowledge, and they are also the most lacking knowledge in Datang society.

2,000 students, from different places. Some people have been born in Longyou since they were children, and they have always spoken the Longyou dialect, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they said, "You are a mallet, what do you say?" ”； Some people are from Youzhou, and the Youzhou dialect is very smooth, and they will "I Nagada" at every turn; There are also some people from the south, and they say "it's okay" in Wu Yannon.

Li Xuan felt that in order for them to communicate well, it was necessary to promote Mandarin. To promote Mandarin, the first thing to teach is Hanyu Pinyin. Recognize the pinyin, in order to read the word accurately.

Arabic numerals, on the other hand, are much simpler and more convenient than those written in Chinese characters, and they are also the foundation for learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will greatly facilitate the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

All the students are the children of the important ministers and the major wealthy families, according to the current election system of Datang, the important ministers and wealthy families recommend, and the sons follow their fathers' business, they are also the future elites of Datang. Li Xuan didn't ask too much of them. At least they can communicate normally, settle accounts, and be able to calculate their own family background, and Datang's family background can. If as a future elite of Datang, if you don't even know how much strength your family has and how much strength Datang has, then it can't help but be said to be the sorrow of the entire family and the sorrow of the whole country. It is also the sorrow of the whole nation.

This knowledge is very convenient and practical, but it is also very boring. Li Xuan felt that many of the 2,000 students would not be able to stand this boring life and chose to leave. But. What surprised Li Xuan was the learning spirit of these people. The two thousand students all have a place to live in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, because Zhongnan Mountain is not far from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan let them choose to go to school. Every afternoon, they returned to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and came to Zhongnan Mountain in the early morning of the second day. However, since the students discovered Professor Li Xuan's knowledge, it is very convenient and practical. The students began to take the initiative to extend their study time, and the time to return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was getting later and later. In the end, all 2,000 students chose to stay overnight at Jungnam Mountain. They studied these four things day and night, trying to communicate with each other in the Mandarin they had just mastered.

Their learning spirit and their learning progress made Li Xuan feel deeply surprised. They are all proud of their families, even if they do not learn this knowledge, they will have no worries about food and clothing, but they are all studying hard, during the day they often forget the time, forget to eat, in order to study, at night, they live in a simple thatched hut, endure the scorching heat, mosquito bites, and study all night.

Finally one day, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask his own questions to the students: "Why do you work so hard to learn this knowledge?" Even without this knowledge, you'll be doing well, won't you? ”

A weak student replied shyly: "Master Hui, we study so hard because of our family's education. Since childhood, our elders have told us that only knowledge can make us go further on the road of life, especially practical knowledge, which will save our lives, change our destiny, and let us turn the crisis into safety and prosperity. The knowledge taught by our teachers is so practical and beneficial to our lives that how can we not work hard and study hard? ”

A burly student also said: "Returning to our teacher, our study so hard is also related to the encouragement of the imperial court. A few years ago, because of the tense relationship between the Turks and my Datang, my Datang soldiers were reluctant to ride Turkic horses for fear of making people laugh. My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, inspected the army, found this situation, he gathered all the soldiers, and said: Turkic horses have enough endurance, can carry weights, and are good at long-distance running, which are much better than my Datang and state horses, since Turkic horses are much better than my Datang horses, why don't we ride them? Just because the relationship between the Turks and my Datang is tense, I am afraid of being laughed at. The Turks are strong, they have their advantages, such as riding archery, for example, this Turkic horse is stronger than my Datang, we are not afraid to admit that we are inferior to them, since they are stronger than us, we have to learn from them. We not only have to learn from them, we also have to surpass them, surpass and defeat them in all aspects, this is what my Datang boy should do, don't ride a Turkic horse, blindly escape, that is what my Datang man should do? In the end, His Majesty not only began to ride Turkic horses on his own initiative, but also took the Turkic name for his war horses. The whole army of our Datang Dynasty also practiced riding Turkic horses and practiced riding and archery. The knowledge taught by the teacher today is so incredible and so practical that we should study it diligently in order to become the most skillful nation in the world in using this knowledge. ”

After hearing the words of the two students, Li Xuan was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. He secretly said in his heart: "How can a nation that attaches so much importance to education, attaches importance to knowledge, has such a spirit of learning, has the courage to recognize its own shortcomings, is willing to learn from the advantages of others, and dares to surpass each other, how can it not become the most powerful nation in the world?" How can this country not become the most powerful country in the world? (To be continued......)
