The Law of the Army, the Will of the Emperor
Unlike Liu Yi's surprise, Gongsun Zan's eyes were burning. He wanted to immediately learn how to form an army with the soul of an army and sweep away the foreign races.
Lu Zhi smiled as he took out a broken ancient bamboo scroll and said,""This is an ancient scroll that I obtained. Take a look for yourself!”
Liu Yi and Gongsun Zan eagerly took the bamboo slips and flipped through them together.
"The soul of the army is formed by combining the will of the soldiers and the generals, and combining them with the clouds of the army!”
"Those who possess the Army Soul will become one with their soldiers. Their will be firm, and the clouds will be thick and dense.”
······
Liu Yi carefully read the ancient book on the bamboo slip and quickly read through it. With his photographic memory, he memorized it by heart.
According to the records in the book, to train the Army Soul, one first had to have a group of powerful soldiers. At the very least, they had to be at the peak of the Martial Warrior Realm and have a strong physique. Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the increase brought by the Army Soul.
Secondly, they had to let the soldiers have extremely high willpower. If their willpower was not strong, they would not be able to cultivate the army spirit.
Finally, the soldiers and generals had to be of one mind and have a high degree of unity. This was the most difficult part.
How many generals in the world could make their soldiers completely work with them?
Therefore, it was extremely difficult to cultivate the soul of an army. It was fine to just select soldiers with sufficient strength, but to temper the will of the soldiers, one had to go through countless battles and survive hundreds of battles to make the will of the soldiers firm enough.
Only when a general and his soldiers fought together and survived hundreds of battles could they unite with the will of the soldiers.
Only then would there be a chance to nurture the army spirit.
Liu Yi wasn't sure if he could train an army with the Army Soul. He looked at Gongsun Zan and the corner of his mouth twitched. The possibility of this guy training the Army Soul was very high.
Gongsun Zan was an extreme nationalist. In Youzhou, there were many people like Gongsun Zan, especially in the army.
As long as Gongsun Zan could lead his soldiers to battle again and again and survive in the end, this army spirit might be completed.
However, whether or not this army spirit could succeed depended on luck.
After an unknown period of time, Gongsun Zan also memorized the contents of the letter before reluctantly returning it to Lu Zhi.
"Keep this book!" Lu Zhi smiled at Gongsun Zan.
"Thank you, teacher!" Gongsun Zan quickly rolled up the letter and put it in his pocket. He even looked at Liu Yi rather proudly, as if saying," Look, teacher has passed the treasure to me. Are you envious?
Liu Yi frowned slightly." Teacher's behavior is a little strange today. Are you preparing to leave?"”
"That's right. Not long ago, Cai Yong and the others submitted a letter to His Majesty, preparing to collate the Confucian classics on a large scale. His Majesty has already approved it.”
"Tomorrow morning, I will leave Zhuo County for Luoyang. I don't know when we will meet again. I have taught you almost everything I can.”Lu Zhi laughed.
Liu Yi and Gongsun Zan were reluctant to leave, but they did not persuade Lu Zhi to stay.
Lu Zhi had clearly expected this situation, and after a few more exhortations, he chased the two out of the room.
After leaving the room, Liu Yi and Gongsun Zan looked at each other and immediately understood that this was not just a separation between teacher and student. They would probably have to separate as well.
"When are you going back to Liaoxi?" Liu Yi asked directly.”
"I'll go back after sending Teacher off tomorrow!”As Gongsun Zan spoke, a hint of worry could not help but flow out of his eyes.
Seeing his expression, Liu Yi quickly understood that Gongsun Zan was born of a concubine and was not valued by the family. His days after returning home would probably not be good.
"I was born with talent, so I must be useful. When you go back, practice martial arts well and read more military books. One day, you will have a place to stand out. I hope that one day, you can plant the flag on the top of Lang Juxu Mountain!”Liu Yi laughed.
"Place the flag on top of Lang Juxu Mountain?”Gongsun Zan muttered. In an instant, he seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. His entire body was filled with energy and battle intent.
"Zian!" Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Yi with a burning gaze.
"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence?" Liu Yi laughed.
"No, I can't! I've decided. This is my life's ambition!”Gongsun Zan's gaze was burning and holy, unwavering.
"This ambition is not bad!" Liu Yi smiled noncommittally.
"Zian, what about you?" Gongsun Zan suddenly asked.
"What about me?" Liu Yi pretended not to understand.
"You are the smartest person I have ever met, and also the most unfathomable. I want to know what your ambition is.”Gongsun Zan said seriously.
Liu Yi raised his head and looked at the night sky. The sky was filled with stars. The night sky was deep and vast, as if it would never end.
Compared to the boundless starry sky and universe, humans seemed extremely small.
Liu Yi lowered his head and looked into the distance. The land was vast and majestic, but there was a border.
"If I say that my ambition is the land under my feet, would you believe me?”Liu Yi turned to look at Gongsun Zan.
At this moment, Liu Yi's gaze was unprecedentedly hot. It hid an ambition that Gongsun Zan had never seen before, but it was so deep that it seemed to be able to encompass the world.
Gongsun Zan realized that he did not quite understand this familiar junior brother in front of him.
But soon, Gongsun Zan was shocked and said in disbelief,""You want to be the emperor?"
"Can't I?" Liu Yi asked.
"You lunatic!" Gongsun Zan said angrily.
"Then are you willing to go crazy with me?”Liu Yi laughed.
"I'm willing to attach myself to you!" Gongsun Zan didn't hesitate much. His tone was firm and decisive.
No one knew what Liu Yi and Gongsun Zan said that night. The world and history books only knew that from this moment on, the future White Horse General Gongsun Zan, who would shake the heavens, became the most unwavering supporter of the Emperor.
