After Liu Chan's words were finished, everyone below began to discuss.

"I can't imagine that Childe actually has such a deep insight into the way of the general?"

One of these people was named Zong Pre, who was also well versed in the art of war and strategy, and was now serving as an officer in the barracks. And later, he also became the governor of Shu Han Yong'an, that is, the one after Chen Zhi.

He said to the people around him: "What Gongzi said is right, as a general, you must go into the military camp to hone in order to accumulate experience in military use." In the past, I also read a lot of military books, and I consciously knew how to use soldiers.

But when I arrived in the barracks, I found that many places were not the same as I imagined, and I would gain more while studying the art of war and marching and fighting. If the army is marched and fought in full accordance with the principles of the art of war, it will not work at all. ”

"Childe is right, the head of the art of war is the Tao, but you can't demand yourself according to the way of the general, you really can't reuse it, it's my fault to blame Childe."

"I didn't expect my son to have such insight at a young age, this is really a blessing for my Han people,"

Youzong Pre, an officer who not only understands the art of war, but also serves in the barracks, confirmed that Liu Chan's words were right, and for a while everyone pointed the finger at Ma Yan.

Listening to the discussions and accusations of the people around him, Ma Jian couldn't help but blush, he was only in his twenties, and he was not yet at home to cultivate qi, so he couldn't deal with it calmly.

He couldn't help but retort loudly: "Childe, today is a waterside banquet, and we are just talking about literature and endowment." I just happened to have just studied the art of war, so I shared it with everyone, and I will naturally go to the military camp to experience it in the future. ”

Liu Chan couldn't help laughing: "The beginning of the plan you mentioned earlier is just the most basic truth in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and anyone who has read a little military book understands it.

You tell the people about this basic truth, most of them are literati, they have rarely studied the art of war, and they think that what you say makes sense. Look at those who know the art of war, can you praise your field? ”

Ma Jian looked back at everyone, Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, Zong Yu and others lowered their heads and said nothing, Pan Jun rolled his eyes, looked up at the sky, and ignored Ma Yan.

Liu Chan continued: "The scriptures record the truth of how to behave in the world, and you can gain a lot when you talk about the scriptures and corroborate them with your own experience.

However, the art of war is the experience of using troops accumulated by good generals for many years, and it cannot be gained by just talking about it. You have never led troops to fight, but you talk about the art of war to them, aren't you trying to show off and win attention?

In the face of everyone's praise just now, although you are humble in your mouth, I can see the smugness on your face, and from this point of view, although you are humble on the surface, you are actually exaggerated in your heart. If my prediction is correct, you guys talk about scriptures with Ma Tan on weekdays, and he must fight to win or lose, right? ”

Listening to Liu Chan's question, the scholars below nodded again and again.

Talking about scriptures with Ma Jian on weekdays, Ma Jian doesn't want to fight to win or lose, Ma Jian has always been smart, and he is generally the one who wins, and everyone admires Ma Jian very much, spreading his fame.

But now that Liu Chan has broken this, another major shortcoming of Ma Tan has been revealed.

Seeing everyone's statement, Liu Chan agreed with his guess and continued: "Zi said, there must be my teacher in the threesome, choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good." Although you are intelligent, each of these scholars has advantages that you can absorb, and when you talk about scriptures with others, you will win or lose, which shows that you have not even grasped the most basic principles of life that the saints said. Apply what you have learned, apply what you have learned, the knowledge you have learned is not used, but used to show off, do not listen to people, and be stubborn for your own use, which is another shortcoming of yours!

A monarch wants talents who can do practical things and win battles. However, you only know empty talk and do nothing, you are exaggerated, exaggerated, and self-serving. Like you, of course I would advise my father not to use you. Otherwise, if you put the soldiers and horses in your hands, won't you let them die in vain? ”

"Childe is right, I just saw your true face today, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, I'm ashamed to be with you!"

"Ma Youchang, on weekdays, when you talk to me about scriptures, you will win or lose, every time you win, do you laugh at me behind my back?"

"Ma Yan, I treat you sincerely on weekdays, I don't want you to be this kind of person, today I can see your true face, I want to break off friendship with you!"

Ma Tan's character was broken by Liu Chan, and the surrounding scholars stayed away from Ma Tan.

Many people felt that in the past, when Ma Jian talked to them about scriptures, he would win or lose, and he was looking for a sense of superiority in him, and they all felt that they had been insulted by Ma Tan.

For a while, Ma Jian was isolated.

Seeing his usual friends stay away from him, Ma Jian became unsure of what to do.

But Ma Tan didn't know how to defend himself, because his character is indeed like this, he discusses literature with his friends on weekdays, and he must win or lose, he enjoys the feeling of winning and being sought after, and he is indeed looking for a sense of superiority in these friends.

Seeing Ma Tan like this, Liu Chan did not sympathize with him.

In history, even Liu Bei said that Ma Jian was exaggerated, and now Ma Jian is still young, and he has not yet reached the realm of being able to discuss military strategies with Zhuge Liang, from day to night.

If you wait a few years, Ma Jian has learned enough, Zhuge Liang can't see Ma Tan's true ability, I'm afraid that Liu Chan knows Ma Tan's ability, but he can't talk about him in the debate.

So at this moment, taking advantage of Ma Tan's ability to learn enough, to suppress him, let him be frustrated, maybe he can be reborn from the fire.

In a few years, Ma Tan's stubborn and self-serving character is really deep-rooted, and Liu Chan can't change it even if he wants to.

Ma Tan actually still has a little talent, and the evaluation in history is that he is talented, good at military strategy, to put it bluntly, he has some talents, but he likes to brag.

It's just that what's the use of talking about military tactics, who wouldn't just brag about it? The military strategies you discuss on weekdays have to be brought to play on the battlefield, and they can't play a role, but you talk about military plans all day long, isn't it just bragging.

In the face of everyone's duties, Ma Jian stayed where he went, and immediately hid his face and left.

Liu Chan shook his head and turned to leave.

The scholars were not in the mood to hold a waterside banquet anymore, and left one after another.

But today, Liu Chan left a deep impression on the hearts of these scholars.

At a young age, he can see through Ma Tan's personality, for the way of the general, than Ma Tan, Zong, etc., understand more thoroughly, and in the face of his own many scholars, he is not stage frightened at all, if he is an ordinary child, he is afraid that he will hide behind the adult, and he is so scared that he can't say anything.

It won't be long before Liu Chan's fame spreads.

On the way, Zhao Yun said to Liu Chan: "Young master, are you a little ...... like this?" It's too much, although Ma Jian is exaggerated, it's not so unbearable, right? ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "Don't talk about the point, how can Ma Tan change it?" If he wants to achieve something, he must lose the so-called face, if in a few years, the stubborn character is deep-rooted, I just want to help him, I can't help. ”

"Childe, please stay!"

Liu Chan was saying when a voice came from behind.

Liu Chan looked back, but saw Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, and Pan Jun coming over, and it was Ma Liang who spoke before.

Liu Chan turned around and smiled at Ma Liang: "What? Mr. is here to ask for an explanation for Brother Ling? ”

Ma Liang came to Liu Chan and bowed and said: "Thank you Gongzi for teaching my brother a lesson today, I don't hide it, I also know my brother's character, but I don't change it repeatedly, I am deeply worried." I hope that what Childe said just now can wake him up. Just ......"

Liu Chan smiled: "Are you worried that I will tell my father not to use Brother Ling?" If my brother can't correct his mistakes, I will naturally say that if he can change his past mistakes from now on and be pragmatic and truth-seeking, I will naturally not say it. ”

To put it bluntly, it is to let Ma Jian brag less and get down to business.
