Only then did Xi Zhi know that in the deduction just now, Xiahou Yu was not resisting him at all.
Instead, he used three rounds of deduction to point out three loopholes in his strategy.
This kind of character was worthy of his respect for his acting ambition, and this kind of art of war was worthy of his lifelong study. Therefore, he bowed to Xiahou Yu as a disciple, completely from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Xi Zhicai bow to him as a disciple, Xiahou Yu did not avoid it and only said,""If you want to improve your art of war, you can come back to East County with me.”
What was that? Are you going to teach me the art of war just like that?
Xi Zhicai couldn't believe it. After all, the art of war in this era had always been a secret.
But he never thought that with just a bow, Xiahou Yu would agree to teach him.
"You agreed?" Xi Zhicai asked excitedly.”
Xiahou Yu smiled and said," Zhicai, go wait at the side. We'll return to East County later!"”
"Yes, sir!" Xi Zhicai bowed again and retreated to the side.
After subduing one, there were two more. Xiahou Yu looked at Xun Yu and Guo Jia and said,""I wonder which of you two will appear in the next round?”
Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other. They both knew that this nine-year-old child in front of them was unfathomable and extremely intelligent.
However, a top-notch sage had his own pride. Xun Yu took two steps forward and said to Xiahou Yu,""The second match will be between Yu and you!”
Xiahou Yu smiled and said," I've long heard of the famous Xun Family of Yingchuan. The Xun Family's Eight Dragons are even more famous all over the world. Today, I'll experience it!"”
Xun Yu heard Xiahou Yu mention his family and praised it, so he said,""Military Advisor Xiahou, you flatter me. After meeting you today, I know that there is always someone better than you. Xun Yu is just a nobody!”
Xiahou Yu smiled and said," You don't have to be humble. There aren't many people in the world that I, Xiahou Yu, admire. You, Xun Wenruo, are one of them. It's useless to say more. Let's talk about what we're competing on!"”
Xun Yu didn't expect Xiahou Yu to think so highly of him. He felt proud and said,""What I am good at is internal affairs. I would like to discuss it with you, Military Advisor!”
Hearing that Xun Yu wanted to compare internal affairs with him, Xiahou Yu could not help but nod.
Xun Yu was known as the king's assistant. He had taken refuge in Jizhou with his clan and was treated as a guest of honor by Yuan Shao.
Later, he defected to Cao Cao and became a servant. He was appointed as the Marquis of the Pavilion of Long Life. He was in charge of military affairs for more than ten years and was respected as "Xun Lingjun".
It was because of his coordination that Cao Cao was able to calmly lead his army north and cross the river south to conquer the four directions. From this, it could be seen that he was very powerful in internal affairs.
Xiahou Yu nodded and said," Alright then, I'll compete with you on internal affairs!"”
He turned to Sima Hui and said,""Mister Shui Jing, you don't have to do two things. You will be the judge for this round!”
"Since Military Advisor Xiahou trusts me, then I'll rely on my seniority and sell myself!" Sima Hui said.“
As he spoke, he paced back and forth.
"I have it. My topic is 'How to build a city with a hundred thousand households.'”
"Hiss…"
Hearing Sima Hui's question, everyone gasped.
This question was too big. How many people could build a city in a day?
It required coordination, cooperation, and division of labor.
Not only did it consume manpower, but it also required an endless amount of money.
A city with 100,000 households would require several generations of labor and hundreds of thousands of laborers to build for hundreds of years.
This question was really a little difficult for him.
After Xun Yu heard the question, he began to think and calculate non-stop. After a while, he felt that his brain was not enough, so he went to the side to pick up a pen and paper and began to record.
It had to be said that Xun Yu was a genius in internal affairs. Such a huge project, but he managed to figure it out by himself.
On the other hand, Xiahou Yu seemed to not understand the question at all.
He said to Zhao Yun, who was behind him," Xun Wenruo still needs to calculate for a while. He has nothing to do. Go to the carriage and bring the tea set over. I'll wait here with tea!"”
What was that? He actually had the time to drink tea?
Could it be that he felt that the questions were too difficult and decided to give up? Or had he already found a way?
Impossible! Impossible!
This was not a competition of pure wisdom, but a competition of various abilities.
No matter how smart he, Xiahou Yu, was, he was only nine years old. How could he know so much?
No one believed that Xiahou Yu had already found a way.
A moment later, Zhao Yun retrieved the tea set.
Xiahou Yu said to Sima Hui,"Mister Shui Jing, I have some good tea here. Why don't you sit down and taste it together?"”
Sima Hui smiled and sat down.""My young friend Xiahou is no mortal. Your tea must be good!”
With that, the two of them really began to taste the tea under everyone's watchful eyes.
