Chapter 112 Teacher and Student
"I am so ashamed." Gongsun Pu said a little embarrassedly: "Pu has been traveling around with my elder brother and has no place to stay, so I have never had the opportunity to teach."
"I feel the same." Pei Liang also lowered his head. He had never even thought of teaching.
Zong Yanli felt a little helpless. He raised his hand to his forehead and said nothing.
Gongsun Pu and Pei Liang looked at each other and roughly guessed what Zong Yanli was troubled by. Gongsun Pu stepped forward and said with a smile: "General, there is no need to be so distressed. Your student's comprehension is already very good. Now that he has made such progress, the general should be happy."
"That's right." Pei Liang immediately said, "I've seen people who haven't made any progress at all even at the age of fifty."
"There are indeed many such people. If General Xiang Ande were to be his teacher and lead him onto the right path in the future, he would surely become a powerful general." Gongsun Pu praised him.
"That's right." Pei Liang laughed and nodded, "Xiang An is still young now."
The two of them were talking back and forth, making Zong Yanli feel a little bit amused and helpless, as if she was being very harsh.
Zong Yanli raised his hand to stop the two from continuing to comfort him, sat up slightly and said, "Do you know what good strategy Xiang An just mentioned to me?"
Zong Yanli repeated what she had asked Xiang An just now, and then said with a smile: "I am very happy that such a brilliant idea of luring the tiger away from the mountain came from my student's mouth. However, when I wanted to ask him to make the plan, Xiang An was too timid to dare to do it."
"General, is this what worries you?" Pei Liang was totally baffled upon hearing this.
"Hahaha! General!" Gongsun Pu laughed even louder.
"My good general!" Pei Liang said in great admiration, "Not everyone in this world is like you. You are only 21 years old and you are already a commander-in-chief. Even your father's achievements have not reached what you have, right?"
"Xiang An has no official position or responsibilities now, and he has no military command. You want him to cross the mountains and rapids and stand at the same height as you without making any achievements."
"This is no longer an expectation, this is forcing someone to do something."
Gongsun Pu's words seemed to be critical of Zong Yanli.
Gongsun Pu bowed to Zong Yanli and said, "General, you have unparalleled ability to lead an army, know how to use people well, and have countless brave generals following you."
"But teaching students and children is not just about leading a team. There is a lot of knowledge involved!"
"General, you must not confuse them. Otherwise, the son will not be a son, the father will not be a father, and even the students will distance themselves from you."
Zong Yanli was really stunned. In her two lives, she had never accepted students or educated "children" and had never thought about the difference between the two. Today, she was reminded by Gongsun Pu and couldn't help but start to reflect on herself.
Gongsun Pu and Pei Liang didn't say much either; just one reminder was enough.
As for Xiang An's strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, there are still many concerns. How can this "tiger" be lured away?
After Gongsun Pu and Pei Liang took their leave, they planned to go back and think about it carefully.
After thinking for a long time, Zong Yanli asked Gao Feilin to call Xiang An to the tent.
Xiang An was filled with trepidation. He stood outside the tent and took a deep breath before he opened the tent curtain and went inside. As soon as he stepped into the tent, he saw Zong Yanli standing with her back to him. Under the bright light in the tent, her shadow was much larger.
At this moment, it seemed that invisible pressure was piling up on Xiang An's head.
He walked forward nervously, bowed and said, "My student Xiang An, nice to meet you, sir."
"Sit down." Zong Yanli turned around and raised his hand to gesture for him to sit down at the table.
"Students can just stand." Xiang An didn't dare to sit down. He bowed his head as if he was listening to the teacher's instructions.
Zong Yanli looked at Xiang An's attitude, and said in a low voice with a little self-blame: "I was a little harsh to you today. I called you here to talk to you in detail. I didn't mean to blame you. Now you have not yet established yourself in the army. You have no power or position. It is wrong for me to ask you to make plans and lead the army."
Zong Yanli looked at Xiang An seriously and said, "You are very good at seeing through the weakness of the two armies and coming up with a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Xiang An, I'm very proud to be your husband. You've grown so much in just a few years." Zong Yanli looked at Xiang An with admiration.
"Teacher..." Xiang An looked up in shock. He never expected that Zong Yanli would call him here so seriously. It turned out to be...
"Don't feel guilty about this, or doubt yourself." Zong Yanli continued in a calm tone, "You have grown so much in such a short period of time. You are already better than many people. As my student, I am also proud of you."
"Xiang An, I hope that one day you can take the initiative to ask to be a general. Your name will be mentioned in this battle."
Xiang An bowed solemnly and said, "I will definitely not let you down!"
Zong Yanli smiled and waved him to sit down again, then asked him in detail why he came up with the idea of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and then frankly expressed his satisfaction with his opinion.
The teacher and the student had a very pleasant conversation. After Xiang An walked out of the tent, the shackles in his heart seemed to have completely dissipated, leaving only a heart full of excitement. He wished he could become a general as soon as possible, and his eyes were bright with joy.
It turns out that the strategy he mentioned this time was really a good one, and it was praised so highly by the teacher. How could Xiang An not be happy?
Zong Yanli did not hold on to her dignity as a teacher. Instead, she generously called Xiang An to talk to him heart to heart. One should know that Zong Yanli is not only Xiang An's teacher, but also the commander-in-chief of the army. Many people would put on airs and refuse to bow their heads because of that little bit of "dignity".
Whether it's a teacher or a father, there are too many such situations.
When Gongsun Pu heard that Zong Yanli and Xiang An had talked for a long time at night, he knew that Zong Yanli had listened to his advice and was extremely impressed for a moment.
"Third brother, are you setting up the battle array again?" When Xiao Tianhe entered with the medicine, he saw Gongsun Pu looked like he hadn't slept all night, and couldn't help but frown and said, "Third brother, you've just gotten better, but you're working so hard. Does Zong Yanli want you to be so concerned?"
"Haha..." Gongsun Pu rubbed his brows and said, "What are you talking about, fourth brother? I'm not doing this for the general, I'm doing this for myself."
"No matter who you are doing it for, you must not ruin your body." Xiao Tianhe placed the medicine soup in front of Gongsun Pu and said, "Brother and I have spent so much effort to cure your old illness."
"If it relapses again, even gods can't save it." Xiao Tianhe's face was extremely serious. What Gongsun Pu was thinking about was the most stressful. It just so happened that his old illness was a broken mind. How could he not worry?
Gongsun Pu drank the medicine obediently, looked at Xiao Tianhe and said, "Okay, okay, I'm paying attention."
