Chapter 248: We Teach Ordinary People
As the sun set, everyone stood outside the academy, watching Zhao Kuo's frame slowly leave, their eyes full of reluctance.
Not to mention Zhao Kuo's identity, just saying that this class is the most memorable one they have ever had.
In the past, the teacher either taught them "The Art of War", or "Sima Law" and so on, they never understood it, but they didn't dare to say it, because these military books are all famous, and they are all divine books that many famous generals pursue for a lifetime but can't get.
If they pick and choose, they will be too dissatisfied, not only will others scold them, but they will also be unhappy in their hearts.
In the end, I can only memorize the rote taught by the teacher, and then slowly understand it myself.
However, when the teacher teaches, he can't understand it, so how much can he realize?
Only in today's class did they really understand, Zhao Kuo first took the Battle of Changping as an example to tell them the purpose of each action of the Zhao army and the Qin army, and what consequences might be caused. If it doesn't work out, how to make up for it. Where is the mistake on both sides and how can it be avoided.
At the same time, it is interspersed with the importance of intelligence, the importance of military spirit, the importance of time, the importance of terrain and so on.
Instead of a boring sentence of "Husband topographer, soldier of the help also." Expect the enemy to win, calculate the danger far and near, and the way of the general is also." The rest is up to them.
If you realize it, you are a famous general, and if you can't realize it, then you can only be a scumbag!
After speaking, Zhao Kuo divided them into two groups and participated in them in person, and carried out battlefield martial arts, most of them experienced it for the first time, which was full of novelty.
In the end, Meng Wu led the Qin army to defeat the Zhao army led by Feng Wuxue with his rich experience, even if Feng Wuxue played tricks many times and copied the original Zhao army, and even after Meng Wu exterminated the strange army that attacked the wild king, he said that he could make a detour to Jinyang and attack the east of the Qin River from Jinyang.
Although it caused a lot of damage to the Qin State in the end, he was still caught by the Mengwu urn and trapped in Hedong.
"My lord, why did they not understand after I taught them for a month, but you only taught them for less than two hours, and they understood...... The last general is really trying to teach."
Le Jian didn't understand a little, obviously he was also teaching very seriously, and the students were also listening very seriously, but as a result, no one in the class understood except for Meng Wu and Feng Wuxue.
As for Meng Wu and Feng Wuxue being able to understand, Le Jian didn't dare to guarantee that he taught it or understood it before.
"I ask you, how long did you learn what you're teaching them now?" Zhao Kuo asked.
Rakuma was stunned for a moment and said, "One month."
"Most of them are soldiers, and they only study for two hours a day, and the rest of the time they have to go back to training. There is no free time except for the back and forth every day. It's a month, but is the amount of time they spend studying compared to you?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"I can't." Rakuma was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"Most of them are from ordinary civilian backgrounds, and they couldn't even read before, but recently they have only just begun to learn to read, and they can barely write their names. And when you were young, Wangzhujun invited a teacher for you to enlighten you, right? Can they compare their foundation with you?" Zhao Kuo asked again.
"I can't." Rakuma bowed his head.
"Your art of war is taught by the kings, but you teach theirs. Which is higher or lower between you and Wangzhu?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.
"The minister is far inferior to my father." Rakuma whispered.
"You think you're already very attentive, and you are. But can your intentions toward them be superior to that of the kings of the first place?" Zhao Kuo asked again.
"I can't." The music is getting quieter and quieter.
His father had to teach him only one, and at most two more people from his clan studied with him.
He had to teach twenty at a time, how could it be the same.
"Talent aside, their family background is not as good as yours, the teachers are not as good as your teachers, and they don't have as much time to study as yours, why do you think they can use the same
Time to learn the same content as you did at the beginning?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"The last general is wrong." Rakuma lowered his head and said ashamedly.
He used to think that these students were not hard enough and were stupid by nature, but now he understands that it is not that they are stupid, it is not that they do not work hard enough, but that their innate conditions are far inferior to their own, and it is far more difficult for them to reach the level they are today than he imagined.
"You're not wrong, it's just that The Art of War is not suitable to teach them." Zhao Kuo shook his head.
"Not for them?" Lejian is a little puzzled, this is a military book that has been highly respected by soldiers in all dynasties, how many generals can't ask for it.
"We don't want to teach geniuses, but ordinary people." Zhao Kuo said.
"The Art of War" may certainly teach one or two geniuses, but more often than not, it is just a group of mediocre talents who don't understand anything.
Zhao Kuo doesn't need a group of mediocre talents who don't know anything, and similarly, he doesn't expect to really cultivate geniuses by relying on "The Art of War", because "real geniuses are not taught."
"Isn't true genius taught? Does the king mean Mengwu?" Rakuma said.
He did feel that he had a talent beyond himself from Meng Wu, and over time, he would definitely be the leader of the younger generation of Zhao Guo, but Meng Wu also studied since he was a child to have his current results, and he couldn't be called "not taught".
Zhao Kuo smiled, Le Jian didn't know, Meng Wu was nothing at all, there was a guy named Huo Quai, who didn't learn all day long, he didn't learn the art of war, and he didn't learn the art of war when the emperor taught him, saying that he didn't look down on it at all.
One day, he suddenly wanted to fight, and then he defeated the enemy, became famous in a fight, and was named the champion Hou. After that, he won many battles, which made those who claimed to be the art of war ashamed.
"You have to remember that your goal is not to teach them to be commanders who can command an army of 120,000, but to be a general who can command an army of 5,000 to 10,000." Zhao Kuo said that the top level cannot be mass-produced, but the ordinary upper level can still be mass-produced.
A big war, a legion, is not supported by a single person, but by everyone up and down.
"If you find one or two very gifted people, you can take them as disciples and teach them individually. But it doesn't work for everyone."
It may be sad for students to hear this, but this is the reality, people's talents are high and low, opportunities are good and bad, achievements are naturally high and low, and many things cannot be changed by hard work.
"Remember." Rakuma nodded.
He had indeed ignored this before, always thinking that these were his own students, so naturally he had to teach them to the highest standards.
