Chapter 131: The benevolent loves others
"According to my observation, there are indeed hundreds of thousands of these Yellow Turbans, but most of them are skinny and skinny, and there are very few old, weak, women and children."
"One hundred thousand Yellow Turban Army spread for dozens of miles. Although Guan Hai was the commander and leader of this Yellow Turban Army, he was unable to manage it effectively. He did not have a high-quality officer team or even a clear military system."
"In the entire Yellow Turban Army, the top one is Guan Hai himself, followed by the various Yellow Turban Army leaders. The so-called leaders are actually the talkers elected by hundreds or thousands of Yellow Turban Army groups."
"Therefore, these Yellow Turban Army camps have hundreds of people in one camp and thousands of people in each camp. They are very irregular. The camp itself is not scientific. Even a layman like me can see several flaws."
"With this kind of army and this level, if you give me a thousand elite cavalry who are not afraid of death, I will dare to ride on the joint camp, rush directly into Guan Hai's Chinese army tent, and kill Guan Hai. As long as Guan Hai dies, this will
One hundred thousand Yellow Turbans will be doomed by themselves!"
Seeing Peng Bing look so confident, Chu Feng couldn't figure out for a moment whether he was confident or conceited.
"We can't all be such weak soldiers, right? Where are the legendary Yellow Turban warriors? There are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban warriors, right? Are they Taoist soldiers?" Ye Fan asked proactively.
It is impossible to surround Beihai County with such a chaotic army of 100,000 people.
"Yes, there are about 5,000 elite soldiers. These 5,000 people can have enough to eat. I can't say their fighting ability. I haven't seen them fight, but they are definitely not Yellow Turban warriors."
Peng Bing thought for a while and then stated the criteria he came up with on a whim: "These armies are neither strong nor weak. I can tell from their size that they can eat well, and they also have regular training, and they dare to kill people.
"
"Such an army can be considered an elite army, but I have not compared it with Beihai County's army, nor with Cao Cao's Qingzhou Army, nor with Guan Yu's five hundred swordsmen, so it's hard to say.
"
"These soldiers have at least ten kilograms of muscle reserves in their bodies. When the training level, the quality of the officer team and other conditions are similar, those with ten kilograms of muscle reserve will definitely not be able to beat those with twenty kilograms of muscle reserve, and those with twenty kilograms will not be able to beat them.
Thirty pounds."
"Of course, no matter how much muscle reserves there are, ordinary people will definitely not be able to defeat extraordinary people. I mean the same number."
After hearing Peng Bing's simple and crude classification, Chu Feng thought about it seriously and suddenly found that it made sense.
"So, the peasant army is the weakest, and their muscle reserves are zero. The militia is stronger, at least they are not skinny. The county soldiers are stronger, they can eat well, and have a well-proportioned body with meat. The county soldiers are stronger, and they all start to have muscles.
Reserved..." Chu Feng said uncertainly, and then looked at Mark.
Although he and Ye Fan are about the same age and both graduated in the same year, since he first met Ye Fan, he felt that Ye Fan was as close to him as his brother. And Ye Fan also felt that Chu Feng was as close as his brother.
The younger brother is equally kind and always takes care of Chu Feng.
"It's normal. Real wars, especially wars in the cold weapon era, often involve long-term trials and confrontations before the decisive battle."
"During the process of testing and confrontation, the pressure on the soldiers is very high. They don't know when the decisive battle will begin, and they don't know whether they will survive or die during the decisive battle."
"This kind of psychological pressure will become more and more intense, and once a person is stressed for a long time, it will consume a lot of energy. This is why the army will blow up the camp at night."
I remember that Wang Yangming somehow shouted loudly in the middle of the night, and the army blew up the camp...
"When people are nervous, they sweat easily. When they are extremely nervous, they sweat all over their body. If you sweat too much, you need to take a lot of supplements, and you can easily catch a cold. And constant testing will consume your physical strength and increase your psychological pressure."
"So, many times an army that has no flaws at the beginning often develops flaws in the process of testing and movement, and then the opponent seizes the opportunity and loses directly."
"So, when there is a stalemate, which side's soldiers have more muscle reserves or fat reserves, the longer they can last."
Hearing this, Chu Feng nodded: "Ah, yes, yes, in the final analysis it is a competition of endurance."
"Human endurance is one of the most powerful animals in nature. In ancient times, before bows and arrows were invented, humans would exhaust their prey to death by running for a long time, and then catch it back to eat."
In ancient times, the terrifying upright ape was not generally ferocious!
Within a hundred miles, a man cannot outrun a horse!
A hundred miles away, a horse cannot outrun a person!
At dawn, Chu Feng left with today's observation results. He was going to report to Chu Xuan, and then have a good rest. When night fell, he would return here to convey the latest orders.
When Chu Feng came back, he did not see Chu Xuan because Chu Xuan was busy making three acids and two bases.
Anyone who has attended middle school knows the importance of three acids and two bases. This stuff is the foundation of industrial civilization. If it can be manufactured in batches, it will be equivalent to stepping into industrial civilization with one foot.
If it is a modern society, high school students can also produce three acids and two bases under the guidance of teachers and by purchasing relevant chemical reagents while ensuring safety.
But this is the Han Dynasty, or the Han Dynasty in the winter of 193 AD. No one here directly sells chlorine and ammonia, and no one sells experimental equipment such as test tubes. What Chu Xuan has to do is to start from scratch and implement local methods (local methods).
chemical test method) to produce three acids and two bases.
The difficulty in this is certainly not ordinary.
Even if you are as smart as Chu Xuan, you must first understand the basic properties of various substances and understand the current situation before you can discuss the follow-up.
Otherwise, everything is empty talk!
Therefore, in order to achieve the goal sooner, Chu Xuan is still working overtime at this moment.
"Well, I understand. You should have a good sleep first and rest, and then we'll talk about the rest of the night."
After Chu Feng left, Xiong Yan picked up the book in his hand and continued reading. The name of this book was "Spring and Autumn".
The book "Spring and Autumn" tells the history of the State of Lu. The author is Confucius himself. It is said that it is a work of Confucius based on a large number of materials recorded by the historians of the State of Lu, with additions and deletions.
Due to bamboo slips, the length of the article is quite limited. Therefore, how to record as much content as possible with fewer words is a problem that every ancient person who wrote a book must face.
When writing the book Spring and Autumn, Confucius also faced this problem, so he would definitely add, delete, and process a large number of original historical materials.
The result is that although Spring and Autumn Period seems to be a history book of the Lu State, it contains a lot of Confucius's own thoughts. This kind of behavior is called private goods nowadays.
But because the Spring and Autumn Period itself is too short, later generations wrote many books in the process of trying to interpret the Spring and Autumn Period. For example, Zuo Zhuan, Gongyang Zhuan, Gu Liang Zhuan and other books.
There are so many books professionally interpreting the Spring and Autumn Period, each with different ideas, resulting in a lot of controversy.
The Spring and Autumn period in front of us also contains many personal comments.
Xiong Yan is of course not interested in the Spring and Autumn Period. At this moment, he is reading the personal annotations in the books. These annotations were written by Zheng Xuan himself!
Zheng Xuan is a native of Beihai and a great contemporary Confucian. If someone were to choose the greatest Confucian in the world in this era, Zheng Xuan would definitely be the one with the highest reputation. No one.
Before Zheng Xuan, the academic circles of the Han Dynasty were mainly divided into two factions, namely the modern and ancient factions. These two factions had many different ideas and fought and argued for many years.
The biggest difference between them can be described in one word: I annotate the Six Classics or I annotate the Six Classics!
Are ancient Chinese classics supreme, or should they be used by today, for me, and to serve the contemporary world?
When Zheng Xuan arrived, he single-handedly united the two factions and completed the unification of the academic circles of the Han Dynasty.
Zheng Xuan was from Gaomi County, Beihai County, so after Xiong Yan arrived, he got such a handwritten letter from Zheng Xuan.
It is said that when Zheng Xuan went to Xuzhou a few years ago, he gave away many books that he had no time to take away. One of them, after going around and around, now came to Xiong Yan.
Benevolence!
Xiong Yan stared at the word benevolence written by Zheng Xuan and activated his talent. A picture soon appeared in front of Xiong Yan.
This is a gray-haired old man. Although his beard and hair are white, there are no wrinkles on his face and his body looks very strong. Under the loose clothes, he has a very healthy and well-proportioned figure.
There is an eight-sided Han sword on his waist. It can be seen from the style that this is not a decorative ceremonial sword, but a sword that can actually be pulled out to kill and chop people.
This is a great scholar who can and dares to kill people.
He picked up the brush and quietly wrote his own annotations on the book. When he wrote the word benevolence, a lot of insights emerged in Xiong Yan's heart.
"The benevolent love others!"
"For officials, benevolence means treating people equally, truly treating people as the same kind, rather than classifying people into three, six or nine grades based on their closeness..."
"For a gentleman, it is a kindness to have friends come from afar..."
"For ordinary people, benevolence means loving and being willing to extend a hand within your ability..."
A large number of Zheng Xuan's memories of Ren flooded into Xiong Yan's heart.
Xiong Yan also had a clear understanding. Probably only those who truly put the concept of benevolence into practice can imitate Confucius, teach without distinction, and teach thousands or even tens of thousands of disciples.
In this era, knowledge is wealth!
Zheng Xuan was able to combine the two major schools of modern and ancient literature into one with his own efforts, so there is no doubt about his profound personal knowledge.
If he can only pass on this knowledge to his descendants, then he will have a family of Confucian classics that can be passed down forever.
Generally speaking, as long as the rulers of Confucian classics families who cultivate and study their ancestral families are still from the Xia Dynasty and have some dignity, they will not take action against the Confucian classics families.
