My Father in Law is Lu Bu

“Your Lord ordered this?” Lu Su could not understand why a soldier needed to learn how to read and write.
Soldiers only needed to listen to orders while generals must also be able to command.
Most generals also did not know how to read.
Could it be that they all wanted to become secretaries? This is clearly not the case.

“I’ve already said it before.
The Lord said that soldiers who did not want to become generals are worthless soldiers! Ask them and see! Li Erniu! Do you want to become a general?”
 

“Yes! I have been dreaming of it!” Li Erniu replied loudly.
In other armies, a general was already predetermined.
If it was not the child of a noble, it would be the child of a general.
Anyone who wishes to be a general was just daydreaming.
However, things were different in the Urban Army.
Anyone with the ability can become a general.
In fact, all of them in the Urban Army were capable of becoming officers.

“Those that want to become generals need to learn how to read and write?” Lu Su was stunned.
It was true that a general needed to be able to devise strategies as well.
Learning how to read and write would be useful.
But there were thousands of people that could read.
Does Yangzhou have so many armies that needed so many generals?

Huang Xu did not say more except confirm with Lu Su that all of the soldiers here wanted to become generals.
This is because anything more involved Yangzhou’s secrets.
Liu Mang already had plenty of trump cards such as the Black Flag Army and the White Horses.
There would be even more if one count Lu Bu’s Wolf Cavalry and Formation Breaker.
What he wanted was for the Urban Arm to become a training camp

Yangzhou had a three hundred thousand soldiers in reserve.
They did not need to fight if there were no emergencies but if they needed to fight, these group of people would not be any inferior to others as they all be led by 100-man commanders from the Urban Army.

The Urban Army was becoming a military school and Liu Mang wanted Lu Su to teach tactics to them.
Liu Mang initially wanted Jia Xu to do it since the matters at Jingzhou was almost finished and everyone else was busy but then Lu Su was captured so he decided to make use of Lu Su instead.

“Five thousand generals?” Lu Su muttered.
Yangzhou truly had high ambitions.

“That is why you need not quarrel with General Cheng.
Just leave it be and teach.
We will listen!” Huang Xu tried to ease the tension between the two.
Cheng Yu was initially unwilling but was eventually persuaded.
Lu Su was already a prisoner, there was no need to quarrel with him.

“No.” Lu Su suddenly said just as Cheng Yu was about to bury the hatchet.

“Do you still not believe me?” Cheng Yu harrumphed thinking that Lu Su was still unwilling to give up “We can gather the remaining three thousand from the Urban Army to prove it to you!” 

“No need.” Lu Su shook his head.
He was already convinced that these people were literate soldiers.
He straightened his clothes and stepped in front of the stage.
He then lowered his head and cupped his fist.

The soldiers who were observing him murmured in surprise.
They had heard that the person sent by their Lord and their Military Advisor was a talented scholar worthy of respect so they were confused when said scholar ended up showing them respect.

“This ignorant one from Jiangdong apologizes to everyone.” Lu Su was a man of his word.

When Cheng Yu saw this, he finally understood why Liu Mang sent Lu Su to teach the Urban Army.
As an enemy, Lu Su was a frightening individual but as an ally, he would be very reliable.

“Let’s go.” Cheng Yu said to Huang Xu.

“Hm? Go where?”

“We need to find a seat to listen to his lecture.” Cheng Yu replied with a smile.
