Chapter 675

Su Xuan also found the commander of his personal guard battalion, Xu Chu, very easy to work with and was quite satisfied, having no intention of replacing him for the time being.

He had indeed considered sending Xu Chu out to command an army independently, grooming him into the talent of a great general.

Unfortunately, Xu Chu himself was unwilling and had no such desire.

Xu Chu preferred to stay by Su Xuan's side at all times, serving as his personal guard battalion commander.

What more could Su Xuan say?

Naturally, he agreed!

"I hope so!"

Lu Bu nodded helplessly.

He was not worried that Su Boyuan would refuse to let him lead troops on an expedition.

But there were too many arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under Su Xuan's command now! He was worried that it wouldn't be his turn!

As for strength?

I am sorry to say, but having always felt almost invincible in the world in the past, he discovered after running under Su Xuan that there were many people he seemingly could not defeat.

It was not just a matter of martial prowess; these people were all extremely proficient in the art of military strategy and formations.

Although he had not yet seen them in actual operation, at the very least, everything they said was logical and well-reasoned, and he was completely no match for these people.

These people could be considered to have maxed out their theoretical knowledge; in front of them, Lu Bu felt like an illiterate.

In fact, do not be fooled by his rough and burly appearance, which made him look like a brute; he was also a person who had read books, knew characters, and was cultured!

Of course, he certainly could not compare to people like Guo Fengxiao who had read hundreds or thousands of scrolls.

Yet, even someone like him had not the slightest advantage in front of Zhao Zilong or even Xu Chu and the others.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu could not help but glance at Xu Chu.

He had not expected this thick-browed, big-eyed, and seemingly simple-minded sturdy man to be far superior to him in the theory of military strategy and formations.

"Zhongkang! Let me ask you! Where did you learn these military strategies and tactics?"

Lu Bu could not help but ask.

Yesterday, he had been too embarrassed to ask.

Of course, it was also because he had some pride and reserve in his heart.

But now, in order to be able to command troops and go on an expedition as soon as possible, he felt he should still be humble enough to ask.

"Eh?"

Xu Chu was somewhat surprised after hearing this and glanced at Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, why are you interested in this?"

Today's Lu Bu was a bit strange!

"Hehe!"

Lu Bu smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Isn't it just curiosity? Besides, I didn't say anything to you yesterday, but I also have the desire to improve; isn't this me wanting to learn more as well?"

"That is true!"

Xu Chu nodded and replied: "Actually, you can ask any officer or even a centurion in the army, and they can all answer you!"

"We all learned these from the military academy founded by the Lord!"

"Even if you didn't ask, you would know later!"

"Because one of the training programs in the recruit camp is literacy and the teaching of military theory!"

"There is a military theory class every day!"

In fact, it was not just military theory classes; there were also battle formation drills, war-game simulations, and so on.

Although Su Xuan had not completely copied the military training curriculum of later generations, he had absorbed its essence and, combined with current warfare and training methods, created a training system suitable for the troops under his command.

"Huh?"

Lu Bu was stunned upon hearing this: "I have to take this kind of class? I am already literate, so this shouldn't be necessary, right? Can I go straight to the military theory class?"

At his age, if he were still made to read and learn characters, it would be too embarrassing for him!

Weren't those things for children to do?
