As soon as Liu De walked out of the courtyard, he heard Luan Bu's voice coming from behind him.
"General, what's the matter?" Liu De turned around and looked at Luan Bu with a smile.
In fact, Luan Bu really had no resemblance to the Tuye Lords of later generations. He was almost 1.8 meters tall and had a burly build. Even though he was over sixty years old, he was still as tall as an iron tower.
This is normal. Liu De remembered that when Luan Bu was humble, he and Peng Yue worked as bodyguards for a wine merchant in Qi State.
At that time and now, as a so-called bodyguard, in addition to protecting the safety of the boss, you also bear the responsibility of collecting debts by force if someone buys something and fails to pay.
If you don't have a tall, burly figure and a strong physique, you won't be able to survive as a bodyguard!
Liu De looked at Luan Bu. In the Han Dynasty, Ming Bu's ministers were basically fierce generals.
Ying Bu was like this, Ji Bu was like this, and Luan Bu was like this.
"Your Highness, can I really write about Peng Yue and Zang Tu's military tactics?" Luan Bu looked at Liu De with his eyes full of expectation and desire.
When he was humble in his early years, it was Zang Tu who promoted him.
Zang Tu rebelled, was defeated by Emperor Gao, and was captured. It was Peng Yue who rescued him. One of these two people was his benefactor, and the other was his brother and savior. He respected both of them very much.
However, both Zang Tu and Peng Yue were traitors, especially Peng Yue. Emperor Liu Bang personally ordered his head to be seen and passed on to Suiyang.
Would it be taboo to write a book for these two people?
Liu De looked at Luan Bu, smiled slightly, and said: "General, just go ahead and write. I guarantee you that no one will make trouble for the general, let alone make things difficult for the general!"
"Fifty years have passed. Dust will return to dust, dust will return to earth. Besides, Zang Tu and Peng Yue are guilty of their actions, not their way of using the army!" Liu De walked up to the old general and arranged his armor.
He picked up his belt and said: "Furthermore, Zang Tu, even my ancestor, Emperor Gao, approved of Peng Yue's way of using troops! General, feel free to write!"
Not to mention writing about Peng Yue's military tactics, even writing a biography of Peng Yue, no one would take care of it!
The historical records of later generations were not only passed down to Peng Yue. They were also passed down individually to great rebels such as Ying Bu, Chen Chen, and Liu Bi, and Liu Che did not see what he did to Sima Qian.
"No!" When Luan Bu heard this, he felt instantly relaxed and his whole body was filled with strength.
Zang Tu and Peng Yue, these two people have always been close to his heart, and he always felt that he owed them something. Now that he is in his twilight years, if he can leave a legacy for these two people before he is buried, he will be worthy of them.
. Even if we meet again in the future, we will not be ashamed.
Seeing Luan Bu running back and preparing to write a book as excitedly as a child, Liu De shook his head and laughed.
Just as he was about to lift his feet, another voice came from behind him: "Your Highness..."
Liu De turned around and found that it was Gong Gaohou Han Daidang.
"What's wrong, sir?" Liu De asked with a smile. Han Daidang should be of some mixed blood. His appearance clearly has a mixture of East and West. This is not surprising. The Huns controlled the entire Central Asia and extended to South Asia and West Asia. They
They even forced the Yuezhi people to continue to move westward, traveling thousands of miles away.
At this time, Central Asia and South Asia were densely covered with countless small countries established by the descendants of Alexander's Eastern Expeditions. It was not surprising that his father married a blond Greek woman.
Later, Han Daodang's son Han Yan was the same as a woman in appearance, with fair skin. He was deeply favored by Liu Che, and the two were almost inseparable.
"I'm a vulgar minister who doesn't know allusions, but he can still write a book?" Han Dandang looked at Liu De, extremely nervous. He grew up in the Huns. It would be good if the Huns could understand how to write 1, 2, 3, 4, even if he is old. His father taught him how to read, but where could the Xiongnu find the classics?
Therefore, his cultural level is limited to basic reading and writing. If he wants to quote scriptures and write beautiful words if he is more advanced, it will be really difficult for him!
"Of course!" Liu De chuckled and thought Han Daedang was a bit cute. Liu De asked, "Who did you write the book for?"
"Military officers!" Liu De said with a smile: "Ordinary military attachés may not be as good as you. Do you think they can understand too profound things?"
"I think the military writings written by you may be better than others!" Liu De said with a smile: "The military writings are not about comparing whose writing is more beautiful, just like on the battlefield, no matter how good the poems and songs are. OK, can you beat swords, guns, swords and sticks?"
Han Daidang was greatly encouraged after hearing this. He bowed his head and said: "Since even His Highness thinks that I can write a book, then I will definitely write it!"
Then he went back happily.
Liu De stayed where he was and thought about the words and deeds of Luan Bu and Han Daidang.
Let the generals write books. This is the first step.
When their books are finished, Liu De will find an opportunity to ask for a copy, then engrave it into engravings, print hundreds of copies, and use it as a basic teaching material for his prince's guards.
It is true that there were too few art of war books at this time.
However, there are only a few books such as "Tai Gong's Art of War", "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sima Xiangqie's Art of War".
In this regard, most generals who lead troops may not have the opportunity to come into contact with these.
Only the children of Chehou could have the opportunity to receive education in these military arts.
Therefore, Liu Decai should encourage the generals to write books and support them in writing books. No matter what kind of book they write, poor writing is not a shortcoming at all, but an advantage!
Liu De even thinks that the more detailed the better.
In the past, there was no other way to write the military books of Sun Wu and Sima Xiangqie. Due to the conditions of the bamboo slips, the content could only be compressed as much as possible.
But now we have a blank slate.
Liu De even felt that it would be best if the general drew illustrations in the book, or even broke down a small matter and listed it one by one.
With such a book, Liu De had the opportunity to cultivate an officer training team based on his prince's guard.
Then based on this, a military academy will be established to train military officers. Liu De has already thought about it. In the future, if conditions permit, all officers above Sima level in counties must be people who have attended military academies.
The era when fighting a war relied on the bravery of an ordinary man and rushed forward with a rush of blood has long since ended.
The war in the future will be a war of steel. Various technical weapons will definitely emerge in endlessly. An illiterate person who does not understand the art of war will definitely not be able to use them.
A very simple example.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty crossbowmen group is led by an illiterate. At most, he can only rely on experience to direct the defense and counterattack of the troops.
But if he is an educated officer who knows how to measure wind speed, position and distance, then anyone who dares to attack him will definitely be hit with a bloody head.
Between the two, who can win on the battlefield is almost a no-brainer!
ps: Well, Peng Yue and Luan Bu did work as bodyguards for people in their early years. Historical records record that they were bodyguards for winemakers. The phonetic and meaning interpretation of Han Dynasty is: they were also bodyguards for restaurants. They can guarantee trust, so they are called protectors.
It can be seen that after the turn of Qin and Han Dynasties, there was an industry of bodyguards, and bodyguards also worked part-time as debt collectors.
Therefore, the height and weight of Peng Yue and Luan Bu can be inferred. If they are not tall and strong enough, how can they survive as bodyguards?
