Chapter 94 Role Playing, Unlocked by Purchasing Cards!

The following day, Yang Zhengdao felt refreshed and went to the Wude Hall.

Unexpectedly, today's schedule has been adjusted, and the lecture will be held in the Wude Hall this morning.

Moreover, it doesn't refer to military treatises, but rather to the Military Affairs section of the "Five Offices Mathematical Classic".

The Five Offices Mathematical Classic was written during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was a mathematical book specifically compiled for grassroots officials. It covers basic arithmetic and can be considered a comprehensive collection of application problems.

The section on military affairs mainly deals with basic arithmetic operations related to troop statistics, military rations, and material transportation, which is sufficient for a sixth-grade elementary school student.

The six people who got in through the back door were all uninterested, so they hid at the back and started whispering.

The doctor and the captain naturally didn't bother with them, since it wasn't meant for the six of them anyway.

Originally, Cheng Chubi and Yuchi Baoqi were discussing the movements of the Northern Turks with Shi Renji.

Shi Renji's surname was Ashina. He originally belonged to the Western Turkic nobility, but his branch of the family had submitted to the Sui Dynasty as early as the seventh year of the Daye era and had been settled in the Central Plains for twenty years.

Let alone the current situation in the north, Shi Renji probably wouldn't even know some of the old Turkic customs.

His eyes darted around, and he leaned closer to Yang Zhengdao: "Yang Dalang, you just came back from there last year, tell the brothers what it was like."

Yang Zhengdao naturally knew what they wanted to hear; they simply wanted to know if there would be any war in the north in recent years.

This was destined to disappoint him, as the Northern Zhangyuan region had been quite peaceful in recent years.

Yang Zhengdao was naturally willing to maintain a good relationship with the Wu Xun group around Li Er, and since they studied martial arts together in the Wude Hall, they could be considered to have become classmates.

He decided to combine historical records and information known to the original owner to explain the situation in the north to the three boys, hoping to demonstrate his knowledge and build a closer relationship.

"As you all probably know, the grasslands are divided into the southern and northern deserts. Since Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Xiongnu in the north, when the Central Plains were in power, they controlled the southern desert to secure the borders, while the foreign tribes retreated to the northern desert to wait for the right time to act."

Cheng Chubi and Yuchi Baoqi, who had both studied history, nodded in agreement, while Shi Renji, though somewhat bewildered, also nodded in agreement.

Li Hui looked surprised. He found that Adao had really changed. His historical analysis was insightful, and he could summarize the offensive and defensive situation in the north in one sentence.

He felt that he couldn't go to Pingkangfang every day anymore, and that he should continue to read books.

Seeing that everyone was listening, Yang Zhengdao continued his analysis.

"Today, the six prefectures of Xiang and Yunzhong have been established in the south of the desert, with the establishment of tributary states and the recruitment of barbarian soldiers, thus securing the borders. The various tribes in the north of the desert are led by the Xueyantuo, and none of them dare to raise troops. Therefore, there will be no war in the north for the next ten years."

Both Yu Chi Baoqi and Shi Renji could not hide their disappointment after hearing this.

Cheng Chubi thought for a moment and then asked, "The sons and nephews of the Jieli tribe have led their people westward. Is it possible for them to rise again and cause trouble once more?"

Yang Zhengdao knew more about it than Cheng Chubi.

The Turkic tribes that migrated westward were mainly divided into three branches.

Ashina Yugu fled west to Gaochang, and this branch will return to Tang next year.

Ashina She'er retreated from Bao Khan Futu City, proclaimed himself Dubu Khan, and commanded more than 100,000 followers.

Ashina Hubo fled west to the north of Jinshan and proclaimed himself Yizhuchebi Khan.

However, according to historical records, Ashina She'er surrendered to the Tang Dynasty when the Tang Dynasty had time to manage the Western Regions; on the contrary, Ashina Jiebo occupied Beiting and fought against the Tang Dynasty for nearly twenty years.

Therefore, Cheng Chubi's concerns were purely conjecture.

Yang Zhengdao smiled and slowly shook his head: "Cheng Sanlang is prudent and far-sighted, but those who flee west are nothing but stray dogs. How dare they look east? On the contrary, trouble is bound to arise in the north of the desert in the long run."

"What makes you say that?!" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but raise his voice, and the doctor lecturing on the "Five Mathematical Classics" also stopped.

The Wude Hall was quiet.

Xu Shiji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, now glared angrily, his face ashen, and roared, "You six bastards, get out and stand in the corner as punishment!"

The group got up dejectedly and headed out of the hall.

Seeing that Changsun Chong was still sitting still, Li Hui couldn't help but remind him, "Changsun Chong, aren't you getting up?"

"I!?"

"Six!"

Changsun Chong cursed inwardly, "What does it have to do with me if you five are gossiping?"

He had no choice but to hide the few pages of manuscript he had been engrossed in reading, hurriedly get up, and follow the others.

But Li Hui happened to see him hiding the manuscript.

As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, Li Hui asked with a smile, "Elder Changsun, what were you hiding just now?"

Changsun Chong blushed instantly and stammered, "I—I didn't!"

His reaction immediately caught the attention of the others.

Yang Zhengdao crossed his arms and waited to watch the drama unfold, while Cheng Chubi and the other two joined Li Hui in surrounding them.

Cheng Chubi smirked and threatened, "Young Master Changsun, are you going to hand him over to us, or wait for Duke Cao to come and search him?"

Changsun Chong gritted his teeth, took out a stack of manuscripts from his bosom, and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "It's just a legend, there's no need to alarm Duke Cao."

Yang Zhengdao exclaimed upon seeing this, "Good heavens! Why is Zhang Anan always targeting Li Er's relatives?"

Gao Lixing was Empress Zhangsun's cousin, and Zhangsun Chong was Empress Zhangsun's nephew.

The manuscript in Changsun Chong's hand was "Spring Behind the Curtain".

As one can imagine, the situation in the north was no longer discussed. The group began to huddle together, hiding behind the pillars of the palace to study and discuss the matter diligently.

After reading only a few pages, Li Hui thought of his brothers, Liao: "Ah Dao, this is a remarkable article; it would be a pity not to read it."

Yang Zhengdao twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that if these people continued to watch together like this, they might end up wielding guns and swords.

He coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "I already observed it at the literary gathering hosted by the King of Yue yesterday, but it was nothing special."

"Ah!" Li Hui glanced at Yang Zhengdao with a resentful look and said with dissatisfaction, "Ah Dao, such a wonderful article should be appreciated together."

""

After saying that, he squeezed his head together with the others: "Hey! Cheng Sanlang, why didn't you turn the page before me!"

"Why did Cui Qing pinch Lu Jinlian's feet?"

"Hey, Xiao Ji, you're still young. You'll understand the wonders of it later."

Clearly, these sons of military families were much more unrestrained than the descendants of civil officials.

Every now and then, bursts of barely suppressed, lewd laughter could be heard.

Yang Zhengdao shook his head, moved away from the restless teenagers, leaned against another pillar, and basked in the warm sun.

The wind is rising! The rain is coming!

As noon approached and the lecture in the hall came to an end, everyone was radiant with health.

Seeing that the others had finished observing and all looked eager to take leave in the afternoon to go home and practice it themselves, Yang Zhengdao took the opportunity of eating in the corridor to tell them about his new plan.

"An old friend of mine is planning to open a hot spring bathhouse, and he wants to have private rooms where he can recreate scenes from the play 'Spring Behind the Curtain,' which he calls role-playing."

The crowd immediately gathered around.

Yang Zhengdao's explanation heightened everyone's anticipation, and he then informed them that this was a customized service for members.

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with curiosity and impatience. In addition, Li Hui had previously told them about the water bed, the mirror room, and the dragon, making them even more eager to get started.

Even Changsun Chong couldn't help but ask, "How can we test it?"

Yang Zhengdao smiled mysteriously: "Unlocking requires purchasing a card!"

"I'm going to charge!"

"I'm going too!"

"Same here!"
