The vertical pupil youth couldn’t help but interject and coldly snorted, ‘”Why don’t you let brother PEI man fight with the supervisor?”
This time, PEI man Xi Lou did not reprimand the young man, but smiled and asked, ‘
“Then I won’t ask you about The Art of War. Actually, I’ve admired your military books for a long time. I’ve heard that you’re proficient in The Art of War, and your six classics on The Art of War are widely circulated and praised by everyone.
“I didn’t learn much after that, but I wrote a book on military tactics. It took me several years, but not only did it include the military tactics of the Central Plains, but it also included the military tactics of the Barbarian cavalry. Please enlighten me, Sir.”
As he spoke, he looked at the young man with vertical pupils.
Xuan Yin opened the small wooden box beside his feet and took out a thick book. [ bei Zhai Military Manual ]
On Da Feng’s side, everyone looked at each other. They really did not expect that this person was not only proficient in military tactics, but also had written a military book?
Scholars paid great attention to the succession of their books. Even those with profound knowledge were very cautious about writing their books. A book would only be announced to the world after many years of revision. As for some random notes, they couldn’t really be called ‘books’ at this time.
For example, the book ” doubts of the great Zhou ” that Xu Qi ‘an had read in the Yun Lu Academy was a notebook and could not be considered a book. Hence, everyone was still doubtful of PEI man Xi Lou’s words.
The Grand Tutor’s face clearly darkened.
Chief advisor Wang and the other officials also had a bad feeling.
Out of respect for the book, Zhang Shen received it with both hands in an extremely serious manner. The breeze from the lake blew, and the pages of the book rustled as he flipped through it quickly.
Zhang Shen’s expression changed, which was seen by everyone present. At first, they were stunned, then they admired him, and finally, they were excited.
“Mister, what do you think of this book?” PEI man Xi Lou asked.
Zhang Shen did not answer immediately. He muttered to himself for a moment and sighed. “Excellent.”
“The entire book is divided into three volumes. The first volume, The Art of War, explains what The Art of War is and what war is. Even those who don’t know much about war will know what war is after reading it.
“In the second volume, it’s described as” soldiers are impermanent and water is impermanent.” 12 different strategies, this was truly amazing.
what’s even rarer is the third volume. It’s a detailed study of military formations, providing many kinds of formations that can be used in cooperation between martial artists and ordinary soldiers, which greatly brings out the usefulness of ordinary soldiers.
PEI man Xi Lou was indeed a talented scholar. He, Zhang Shen, had lost in the path of military tactics. The Confucians were particular about understanding one’s thoughts, and he would not be able to refuse to admit his mistakes.
Furthermore, if he lost the cultural conference, the ones who would lose the most face would be Emperor Yuan jing and the Imperial court. Yun Lu Academy had long been expelled from the Imperial court, so there was no need for him to go against his heart for the sake of the Directorate’s good-for-nothing faces.
Zhang shenlin sighed. my ” six classics on The Art of War ” is not as good as your ” The Art of War of beizhai “. I admit defeat.
“It’s said that the scholars of Yun Lu Academy are noble and pure, and their reputation is well-deserved.”
PEI man Xi Lou laughed, his laughter filled with joy.
Why did he choose Zhang Shen as his stepping stone? There were three reasons-Zhang Shen was famous enough;Zhang Shen had been living in seclusion for over twenty years, and he was a scholar of Yun Lu Academy who spoke his mind and had a guaranteed moral character. As long as his military book could convince the other party, he would not go against his conscience and suppress him.
A gentleman could be deceived with proper methods, this was the truth.
