Zhang Xi's idea was very simple - he felt that he really didn't know how to train.

Military training is basically the first subject of training for new recruits after joining the army, and it is also the most basic thing...... Wouldn't anyone really think that they would become an excellent soldier after participating in a student military training?!

Moreover, Zhang Xi actually knew nothing about the training methods of this era, and he was afraid that his rigid copy of modern student military training programs would not meet the actual requirements of this era, and he urgently needed to discuss it with people who knew the art of war.

Discuss with Zhang Fei, this black guy can only be good, and there is no point in discussing the right person to deal with you.

But Xu Shu is different, this one has obviously read military books.

Although in history, Xu Shu's political ability was stronger than his military ability, and later he was also the imperial historian on Cao Wei's side, obviously not involved in the military senior civil officials.

However, if you look at the line, you will find that Xu Shu has a very keen sense of military affairs.

Cheng Yu only sensed that something was wrong with the serial plan, but Xu Shu had already thought of the later fire attack.

In the case that he couldn't figure out whether Xu Shu in front of him was taking the historical line or the romance line, with the idea of being able to do it in case, Zhang Xi still put together the training plan he discussed with Zhang Fei two days ago, and asked Xu Shu to help with the staff.

And the more Xu Shu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang Xi's training plan, what is problematic is Zhang Xi's way of speaking.

Zhang Xi took out almost all the methods of military training that he knew, and the purpose of each method of military training was also quite transparent, what kind of means were used for training in what projects, and what was the purpose of this kind of training, Zhang Xi explained it in great detail, very popular, and so popular that as long as he could remember it, he could do it.

This is not quite right, or rather, it does not seem to be recorded in a systematic war book.

The military books of these years and months will not be recorded in such detail, but there will only be a rough outline, telling you how to do it to achieve the effect - even a thousand years later, the record in Qi Dashuai's "Actual Record of Military Training" is the same.

And Zhang Xi's method of training seems to sound very unsystematic, many things are a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, I feel that I can talk about it wherever I want, if I randomly propose a new idea, this kid can actually put forward an effective suggestion to supplement after thinking about it.

This gave Xu Shu a feeling that Zhang Xi's method of training soldiers did not seem to come from a military book at all, but was put together in many places

It doesn't make sense.

Zhang Xi is now doing the military position of marching Sima, but he is still dressed as a civilian official...... If you want to say that this guy has been in the army all these years, and then summed up this set of rules from the army, can anyone believe this?!

But if this is not the case, could it be that Zhang Xi has been under Liu Yuanjun's account for so many months, and he can come up with an effective way to train troops just by simply looking at army training? !

If that's the case, is Zhang Xi a natural general?!

Xu Shu felt that this was too unrealistic, and Xu Shu didn't believe that there were such people in this world.

Either Zhang Xi was just hiding in front of himself before, or Zhang Xi had some adventures in the past five years.

Xu Shu didn't think about what Zhang Xi was worried about, after all, in these years, the brain hole of normal people is obviously not as big as that of later generations.

Again, the scribes of this age, whether they are clumsy or have adventures, are very marketable in this era.

For example, Guo Jia hid clumsily when he was under Yuan Shao's account, because Guo Jia felt that Yuan Shao was not the master he was looking for.

And the adventure is better understood, Zhang Liang among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and now there are rumors that Huangshi Gong has achieved great achievements in the art of war...... The scribes of this day believed in this set.

In Xu Shu's view, Zhang Xi is likely to be the latter, and he also got some opportunities and was taught by some hermit masters...... But there is a high probability that the hermit taught too much, and this kid is not qualified enough, he is not good at learning, and he only memorizes a rough idea of many things, and he learns more than Lin San.

If that's the case...... Xu Shu felt that it was necessary for him to talk to Zhang Xi more in the future, and it would be good if he learned so much.

In these years, the transmission channels of knowledge are really too narrow, and they are basically controlled by wealthy families, and Xu Shu is a child of a poor family, so it is difficult to read a complete ancient book and classics, let alone learn all kinds of knowledge.

Although Xu Shu also felt that the things that Zhang Xi "learned" were too miscellaneous and too unsystematic, but ...... It's better than not knowing anything.

Fortunately, they are now under the account of the lord Liu Bei, and the two of them are old acquaintances and fellow villagers, Xu Shu simply inquired about Zhang Xi's residence, and without saying a word, he moved out of General Zuo's own temporary residence, and also moved to Dengjia Village, renting a house.

In this way, if you don't have to take care of each other, it will be convenient to go to Zhang Xi to "chat" in the future.

In this way, Zhang Xi basically went to Zhang Fei's army during the day, presided over the drill when he had drills, and helped Zhang Fei deal with some paperwork when he didn't practice, and when he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he could get off work and go home early.

As for Xu Shu, not long after he took office as Xi Cao Peng, he often discussed things with Liu Bei, but basically he would return to Dengjia Village at night, and if he had nothing to do, he would come to visit Zhang Xi.

At first, Zhang Xi didn't take it seriously, but after three or five visits, Zhang Xi found that it seemed that it was becoming more and more difficult to chat with Xu Shu now.

It feels like Xu Shu is always asking him some very strange questions, and some of these questions Zhang Xi can still answer, and if he is not sure, he can discuss them with Xu Shu, but there are some problems, Zhang Xi really doesn't know how to solve them.

For example, one day, Xu Shu asked Zhang Xi about the current tax rate adjustment in Xinye County...... Where does Zhang Xi understand this thing?

Zhang Xi remembered that the tax rate in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty was thirty taxes per ...... But in these years, even Liu Yuanjun, who is known for his benevolence and righteousness, ruled Xinye County, and it was one of ten taxes.

It has tripled, but it is still praised by the people as benevolent and righteous..... It's ironic enough.

And the consequence of this ten taxes is that Liu Beijun's grain and grass supply is heavily dependent on Liu Biao's supply.

And Xu Shu meant that he was still thinking about whether he could adjust it to five taxes and one ...... There are enough black hearts.

But this can't all be blamed on Xu Shu, after all, Liu Bei is really poor.

Liu Bei is a guest army in the end, although Liu Biao is "very generous" and said that he will hand over all the taxes in Xinye County to Liu Bei...... But Liu Biao's generosity is limited to less than ten miles near Xinye County.

Out of Xinye County within a radius of ten miles, south to Jiangxia, west to Fancheng, Xiangyang, either all the way is wasteland, or all under the management of Xiangyang Liu Biao or Jiangxia Huangzu, there is nothing to do with him Uncle Liu Huang.

Xinye is located between Nanyang County controlled by Cao Cao and Xiangyang County controlled by Liu Biao, and he can only watch a large piece of land in the middle of it be barren, and he doesn't even dare to Tuntian, for fear of giving Cao a wedding dress.

Liu Bei is also really difficult, and Xu Shu, who is the first master, is also difficult.

The supply of grain and grass is controlled in the hands of others, just like wearing a rope around the neck, which is completely controlled by Liu Biao...... Whether it is Liu Bei or Xu Shu, they don't want this kind of thing to go on for a long time.

But Xu Shu wants to double the tax, which is also what Liu Bei does not want to see...... Although Liu Bei is also a warlord in troubled times, he is decisive in killing, but in his heart, compared with other princes, he still pretends to be a little more people.

So Xu Shu came to Zhang Xi, on the one hand, he couldn't persuade Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he also wanted to get some inspiration from Zhang Xi's side, to see if there was any other way besides raising taxes.

And Zhang Xi said that he couldn't help.

There is no way, this place in Xinye is too special, so special that Zhang Xi can think of a method, none of which can be applied to Xinye.

Xinye is in a sense a buffer zone between Liu Biao and Cao Cao, and Liu Biao and Cao Cao are not in a strategic balance of power...... It's purely that Cao Cao is busy pacifying the north at this time, and he can't spare his hands to deal with Jingzhou.

This place is not suitable as a development base at all, and all development may become nourishment for Cao Jun in the future, so what business tax collection in Zhang Xi's mind, or what organization of soldiers and soldiers to Tuntian, is not useful.

Even the last trick is to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, because there are no large families near Xinye County.

The Dashi family is either in Nanyang or Xiangyang...... In this place of Xinye, at most, like Dengjia Village, leave someone to manage the assets, so that the children of the family will not come to such a dangerous place.

Again, Zhang Xi really doesn't understand the aspect of people's livelihood.

One thing to say, you can do something in the army, and you can also have generals such as Zhang Fei to support you, so you can have a fault tolerance rate.

But if you want to do things in people's livelihood...... It is not easy for ordinary people to survive in these years, and a bad one will cost a lot of lives.

Therefore, the matter of people's livelihood is also related to taxation, and this Zhang Xi really doesn't dare to give Xu Shu any so-called advice.

Xu Shu asked for a long time, but found nothing.

There is no way, there is indeed no better way for him to break the situation in this matter, and he just wants to brainstorm when he asks Zhang Xi.

And Zhang Xi, when he couldn't think of a good idea, began to think divergently...... Think about how Liu Bei broke the game later?!

Hawkers, later Liu Bei, after the Battle of Chibi, was also trapped in Xiakou.

At that time, the situation was actually not much better than at this time, after all, most of Jiangxia County to the east of Xiakou had been occupied by Sun Quan, and to the northwest was Cao Cao's army, which had just experienced the defeat of Chibi.

At that time, Zhuge Liang's advice was to ask Sun Wu to borrow Nanjun..... It's still half of the South County.

It can be seen that Zhuge Liang also has no hope for the development of this place in Xiakou.

Even when he was in Xinye, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei find a way to attack Xiangyang as a foundation for his survival...... Xinye is also a place that can't be developed.

In other words, Xu Shu's idea of developing in Xinye now is not realistic at all, so it is better to turn his head and suggest Liu Bei, and take advantage of the right time to attack Xiangyang.

But this is it...... Xu Shu felt that Zhang Xi was whimsical.

Well, Zhang Xi actually thinks so too.
