After the banquet, Cao Mengde left Cao Ren, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all the way to the study, and ordered Dian Wei and Xu Chu to be the door gods and retreat left and right.

Now Xiahoudun is supervising the army on the southern front, and Xiahou Yuan is stationed in Luoyang, because the southern line is unharmed, Cao Ren was just transferred back to Puyang not long ago.

The monarch and the ministers sat down, and Cao Mengde said: "I left you because of this array map. ”

As he spoke, he carefully took out the brocade silk in his sleeve and unfolded it on the table in front of him.

Roughly, I saw a picture catalogue on the brocade silk, there are five parts of red, white, black, yellow and blue, at first glance, it seems to be endless, endless, quite mysterious. On the side of the catalogue, there is a detailed explanation of the array diagram.

"Formation?"

In addition to the drama Zhicai, Cao Ren and others are confused.

Cao Mengde and Xi Zhicai nodded, and studied the array map by themselves, while Xi Zhicai explained the matter of the array one by one.

"The former second lord went to Mr. Zhao's courtyard and talked about it... Mr. Zhao then said that the formation of the five elements and made this array diagram. According to Mr. Zhao's words, training troops according to the formation plan can gather the strength of the whole army in one person, and the power is boundless at every turn. ”

After listening to what Xi Zhicai said, Cao Ren, Xun Yu, etc., were all dumbfounded.

Xun Yu couldn't help but say: "I have tasted Taoist classics, and I have also tasted the wonder of the five elements, but there is still such a usage?!"

Cao Ren said: "Mr. Zhao's words must be correct. If so, the eldest brother will sweep the world, and it will be like probing for the ears of things. The walls of the city are thick and insignificant!"

Everyone was shocked.

However, Xun Yu and the others also thought of the pros and cons in an instant.

Several wise people looked at each other, Xun Yu said: "Lord, this has both advantages and disadvantages, and I am afraid that it must be used carefully." ”

Cao Mengde couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, forcibly removed his eyes from the formation diagram, and said, "What Wen Ruo said is not bad. In the world, there is no perfect thing, and there are many pros and cons. But you don't have to worry, when Mr. Zhao proposed the formation plan, I had the same worries. But Mr. Zhao has a solution. ”

"Oh?!"

Everyone immediately smiled.

Xun You said: "Mr. Zhao's immortal family is unfathomable. Dare to ask the lord, what is the solution?"

Cao Mengde twisted his beard and said: "Mr. Zhao said that this five-element military formation is because of the Five Elements Fist Sutra. The soldiers in the army lived and died together, and each practiced the Five Elements Fist Sutra, so unconsciously, he touched the mystery here. These five elements of the army formation are nothing more than the way of the formation, which can be deployed and broken. It's just that he already has some fur from the immortal family, and he can't do anything about it. Mr. Zhao's meaning is to refine a set... Well, the magic weapon of the immortal family, called the Five Elements Array Flag. As long as this treasure is in hand, you can cut off the soldier's induction, and the military formation will be broken in an instant!"

"Oh!"

Everyone was in the clouds, after all, they didn't know the mysteries of the fairy family.

Xun Yu said: "The Five Elements Array Flag... It does sound mysterious. Mr. Zhao can refine this treasure?"

Cao Mengde looked at Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai said: "Mr. Zhao told me about the Five Elements Array Flag the day before yesterday. It takes a lot of effort to say that this set of flags will take some effort, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be refined in March or May. ”

Today, Xu Chu went to get the talisman and sent dozens of catties of high-grade silk collected by Cao Mengde. In fact, the Five Elements Array Banner has not yet begun to be refined.

In Zhao Yu's view, it will take a year and a half to achieve anything from this volume of array diagrams. Before the military formation is achieved, there is no need to be so eager for the Five Elements Array Flag.

Cao Mengde also knew the truth here, and nodded: "Since Mr. Zhao has already spoken, don't worry. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "What the lord said is true. Mr. Zhao also instructed me to inform the lord that on the eve of the refining of the Five Elements Array Flag, he would send someone to Puyang and ask the lord to go there in person. It is said that it is to recognize the Lord with the Dharma instrument. ”

Cao Mengde suddenly smiled and bowed slightly.

So he said: "This matter must be early, don't be in a hurry." This scroll is the key thing at the moment. ”

He looked at Cao Ren: "I intend to make this formation among my guards first... In the past few days, one has to select elite soldiers to fill the guards, and the other is to cut some from the guards. In the end, it will become five elements and five points, and the five elements of the boxing scriptures will be cultivated, each of which will be five hundred people, and there can be no more than one person, and no less than one person. Zixiao needs to cooperate with Dian Wei Xu Chu a little these days. ”

Cao Ren promised: "Big brother, don't worry." ”

Cao Mengde put together the formation diagram and said: "Hebei affairs need to be monitored, and I must know any movement of Yuan Benchu." Mr. Gongda is a good student, pay attention. In two years, I don't plan to move troops. In the past two years, the development of people's livelihood has been the top priority. On the other hand, the output of stainless steel, the research and development and popularization of agricultural tools, and the research and development and production of armor are all top priorities, and you must not be negligent. ”

He added, "Some time ago, I was thinking about gold and copper coins. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo wantonly minted coins in Guanzhong, and he had already messed up the five baht. I intend to reorganize the circulation of coins, and if Wen Ruo takes out a charter later, I will add it up in detail. ”

Finally, he said: "As soon as I am ready for everything, I will wave my army straight up, break the beginning, accept Hebei, and turn to calm the world." ”

...

In the middle of the night, he followed Zhao Ji, practiced and practiced mana in the middle of the night, and Zhao Yu got up early in the morning, and Zhao Ji was still asleep. Just like the spring sleep of the begonia, the clouds and temples cover it, which is quite exciting.

When I came to the courtyard, I took a little trip to the fist and foot kung fu and activities. Then he went out again, wandering around inside and outside this courtyard, and when he came back, Wang Po had already prepared breakfast, and Zhao Ji had also gotten up.

Dining in the courtyard has always been divided into inside and outside.

Guan Hai and other other courtyards were outside, and more than 20 people dined in the fire courtyard. And Zhao Yuping dined in the wooden courtyard. Together with them were ten disciples, maids, Mrs. Cai, Cai Xiaomei, and Wang Po's family.

There are two tables inside, but after all, they are together.

Zhao Yu didn't really care about the rules. But Wang Po and the others were very concerned. Zhao Yu did not interfere.

Now for Zhao Yu, eating and drinking dew is leisure. Eating and drinking is just a desire for the appetite, and it is dispensable. Or habit, or accompany Akihime, that's all.

After the meal, the disciples went to the water courtyard in a swarm, followed by Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji. The water temple is the place where the students are taught cultural courses.

Zhao Yu said to Zhao Ji: "The talisman car and ship have reached a critical time, and I have to refine a set of magic weapons with Meng De, so I am afraid that there will be no time again." They have the foundation of the cultural curriculum, and I plan to let them learn on their own. ”

Zhao Ji Yanran bowed her head and said: "Ear mentioning face life is indispensable when laying the foundation. Now that the foundation has been laid, it is up to them to learn on their own. ”

Education in ancient times was very different from that of 2,000 years later.

After learning, the disciples learned how to read and reason, so they let the disciples learn by themselves. Therefore, even if the base number of readers is not large, they are often the top figures, and they are all very remarkable. Teaching students according to their aptitude is also Confucius's philosophy, and Confucius taught his students that whenever he lectured, he was not talking about things in books. If you look at the Analects, you can see that Confucius and his disciples inspired them from very subtle places and made them understand many truths. And most of the time, it is these disciples who teach themselves. When I met someone I didn't understand, I came to ask Confucius.

This philosophy and teaching method has continued to this era. Whether it is Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong or Ma Rong before, such university scholars, they teach their disciples with this method.

Zhao Yu felt that it made sense.
