Along the way, Fang Yun kept thinking and quickly figured out why the Talent Martial Arts Demonstration took so long.
"The School of Military Strategy focuses on the Divine Path of Wisdom first, followed by the Divine Path of Courage. I spent so much talent and time, and I did it on the basis of a large amount of military strategy and history. I can only say that I have enough talent and wisdom. However, the true Divine Path of Wisdom not only tests what is known, but also unknown and unexpected situations. Only after passing the current test can one be considered to have outstanding talent and be qualified to obtain the Divine Path of Wisdom for one's military strategy book! "
"There is a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War, 'Mixed harms can be solved.' It means that one has to consider unfavorable factors under favorable conditions. I used deception to turn unfavorable conditions into favorable ones, but there are unfavorable ones hidden in the favorable ones. I have to resolve them. Otherwise, this military strategy book will not be qualified to obtain the power of the Divine Path of Wisdom. "
Fang Yun thought slowly. Not long after, he found four generals who seemed to be brave, smart, and relatively loyal. He whispered orders to them, and the four of them left one after another.
With no pursuers behind them, the Jing people relaxed. However, because they did not eat enough in the morning, by noon, the troops were moving slower and slower. However, Fang Yun used the excuse that there were pursuers to let them continue moving forward. At the same time, he asked them to put their heavy armor and other things on the armored ox carts. The armored oxen were more patient than humans.
The soldiers complained along the way, but they could bear it.
They had to rest at night. If they marched through the night, under the double pressure of hunger and exhaustion, the troops would collapse.
The Jing army set up camp. Not long after, it was time to eat.
The hungry soldiers lined up in dozens of long lines, holding bowls and getting rice.
The soldier at the front of the first line was extremely tall. No one dared to fight with him for first place. He handed his bowl to the cook.
The cook scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in the soldier's bowl.
The soup was clear, and a thin layer of yellow rice sank to the bottom of the bowl.
The soldier saw it and said angrily, "It's fine if there are no vegetables or meat. What kind of porridge is this? It's obviously rice soup! You guys are just a bunch of grain carriers. None of you are good! Give me another spoonful! "
The cook said with a sad face, "There is really no more grain. Lord Yu said that we can only eat this today. Tomorrow, we will wait for another day and new grain will be delivered. Don't worry."
"Bullsh * t! Who didn't know that Yu Yingxiao's heart was completely black? I haven't eaten for a whole day, and you want us to drink rice soup? I refuse to accept this! Brothers, you can judge whether he can still be a soldier or not! "
"We want porridge, not rice soup!"
"No rice soup!"
The tall soldier's words were like an ignited firecracker. The soldiers who had been hungry all day were furious. Many soldiers even took out their weapons and surrounded the cook.
These cooks cried out that they had been wronged, and every one of them deliberately mentioned Yu Yingxiao's name repeatedly. Soon, a portion of the soldiers grew tired of this person, and in the end, almost all of the soldiers began to hate Yu Yingxiao.
Just as everyone was making a ruckus, two people appeared carrying a chair. Fang Yun was sitting on the chair with a bowl in his hand. He did not say a word.
At first, the noisy soldiers wanted Fang Yun to give an answer. They kept heckling, but Fang Yun did not say a word. He silently handed his bowl to the cook. He got a bowl of porridge that was exactly the same as everyone else's and finished it in front of everyone. Then, he faced everyone and turned the bowl upside down.
A drop of clear rice soup fell to the ground. It rolled into the soil.
Most of the soldiers closed their mouths and continued to line up, but a few people were still dissatisfied.
At this time. The four generals who had received Fang Yun's order came with a group of soldiers and escorted Yu Yingxiao, who was in charge of the provisions. There was a person holding a pot of fragrant rice, and another person holding a pot of cooked bacon.
Yu Yingxiao was tied up and his mouth was gagged with a rag. There was a trace of oil at the corner of his mouth, as if he had just eaten bacon.
All the soldiers instantly guessed a possibility. Their eyes turned red as they angrily stared at Yu Yingxiao. A surge of resentment condensed in the air above the camp.
A general loudly said, "Reporting to General Fang, when this subordinate was patrolling, I smelled the fragrance of meat and rice. This subordinate was very curious. Even Sir, who was heavily injured, could only eat a bowl of porridge. How could someone have meat and rice to eat? So this subordinate followed the smell and found that there was a lot of rice and bacon in Yu Yingxiao's tent. He was secretly eating by himself! This subordinate was unable to restrain his anger, so I immediately ordered people to tie him up. There are witnesses and material evidence, please punish me! "
"Wu wu wu … …" Yu Yingxiao who was tied up struggled with all his might. He whimpered, but no one could understand what he was trying to say.
The soldiers could no longer bear it and began to curse. Many soldiers even walked over and spat on Yu Yingxiao's face.
When the soldiers had cursed enough, Fang Yun raised his hand and signaled everyone to shut up. Then he sternly said, "At this time of crisis, the entire army is suffering together, but Yu Yingxiao is eating fish and meat alone. Shameful! Hateful! The provisions before were clearly enough for us to eat for five more days, but now it is not enough. It must be you, this vermin, who has embezzled the provisions! Such a despicable person must not be tolerated. Men, push him out of the camp and execute him immediately! "
"Yes!" A portion of the soldiers escorted Yu Yingxiao out of the camp. Under everyone's gaze, the executioner chopped down. Blood spurted out and Yu Yingxiao's head rolled on the ground.
The resentment in the hearts of the soldiers dissipated by more than half.
Fang Yun loudly said, "Yu Yingxiao must have hidden provisions. I order everyone to have two spoonfuls of porridge and mince the bacon to make soup. Everyone will have a bowl of meat soup!"
"Thank you, General Fang!"
"General is unparalleled in benevolence!"
"General is righteous!"
All the soldiers shouted loudly and were deeply grateful. They thought that Fang Yun had allowed them to eat more.
But no one knew that tonight's meal was originally two spoonfuls of porridge and a bowl of meat soup. But Fang Yun had ordered only one spoonful of porridge and no meat soup.
It was clearly the same amount of food, but if Fang Yun had given it normally, it would have caused a mutiny at night. But by giving it in this way, not only did it vent their anger, it also made them think that they had received more. The morale of the entire army would not be affected, and it would even have a strong cohesion. Even if the barbarians launched a sneak attack at this time, they would not be defeated.
Fang Yun gently nodded to the soldiers. Just as he was about to leave, a warm current spread through his body. He could not help but blink his eyes. The camp in front of him disappeared and was replaced by a desk and the last page of the 《Thirty-six Stratagems》.
The writing brush in Fang Yun's hand was controlled by an invisible force. It slowly landed at the end of the page and drew a full stop.
It was full of life. There were strange sounds.
A strange light was emitted from between the lines, illuminating the room. The sounds of battle, the roars of soldiers, the clashing of weapons, the beating of drums, the wails and so on came from the pages.
More than ten pages of paper flew together and floated in the air. Then a cloud of white fog appeared on the pages. The white fog transformed into the process of replacing rice with soil. Finally, it entered the pages and disappeared. Fang Yun knew that this white fog was the process of the Qi of Talent Demonstration. It represented the integration of the Holy Road of Wisdom into the military book.
More than ten pages of paper trembled slightly and suddenly disappeared.
Fang Yun immediately entered the world of strange books and saw an ancient book with only a dozen pages appear inside.
Ordinary ancient books had blue covers, but the surface of this ancient book had a layer of metallic color. It was full of texture. The pages did not look like paper, but more like a special metal.
《Thirty-six Stratagems》
The cover was flipped open. The first page wrote: The first stratagem was to cross the sea by deception.
The beginning of this stratagem was to first explain the stratagem. The second part was to verify the stratagem with the military strategist Half-saint's sentences. The last part was to use specific examples and specific usage.
Fang Yun looked at this stratagem and could not help but have more things in his mind. He knew the true usage of this military book. He could not help but be overjoyed. With a thought, the 《Thirty-six Stratagems》 that was full of metallic texture appeared in his hands.
"A military book written by myself is indeed different from others! A military book that incorporates the Holy Road of Wisdom is even more extraordinary! This stratagem was originally to pass off the false as the real. There are some. Let others mistakenly think that there are none. If there are none, let others mistakenly think that there are some. Now, as long as I send my Qi of Talent into it, this military book will form a strange power. It can make one thing become another in the eyes of others, but in reality, there is no change. In battle, whether it turns many people into one or one into many, there will be unexpected effects. "
"However, my literary position is low and I don't have much Qi of Talent. The range and number of people that I can cover now is limited. Once I have more literary positions, I can use this stratagem to make an army of 100,000 into one person in the eyes of others, and one person into an army of 10,000! This is too terrifying. Even the boldest demons and barbarians will panic when they see one person suddenly turn into an army of 100,000. "
"If I can turn ten thousand people into one barbarian, that will be an extremely powerful sneak attack strategy. A night attack on the demon barbarians' camp will be successful!"
Fang Yun was both happy and shocked. The power of the military school was indeed not as destructive as war poetry, but it was strange and unpredictable. It had terrifying auxiliary abilities. No wonder its position was second only to the Confucian school. No wonder the military school's Half-saint could go to the demon world as if there was no one there.
Fang Yun held the 《Thirty-six Stratagems》 military book and sent his Qi of Talent into it. The military book glowed slightly. Fang Yun looked at his writing brush.
An invisible power fell on the writing brush, and the writing brush immediately turned into a book.
This book was a book in the eyes of others, but in Fang Yun's eyes, this book was translucent and there was a writing brush inside.
"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. It can also be used to describe the current changes. To deceive the world, to deceive the eyes of others, to mislead them. This is the power! "
Fang Yun sent the 《Thirty-six Stratagems》 into the world of strange books. He was overjoyed.
With this "deceiving the world" strategy, there would be endless ways to kill enemies in the future.
"A military book's Talent Demonstration will be harder to write towards the end, especially towards the end, where the entire book is tested. It's extremely difficult. I won't write the second stratagem for now. I'll continue to study the Sages' Classics to build a foundation for the future. If I hadn't memorized the books of the military school and the school of historians, I wouldn't have been able to pass this Talent Demonstration. "
Fang Yun was overjoyed. He carefully thought about the deceiving the world strategy again and then continued to read.
The next morning, Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan were eating at home when there was a knock on the door.
"Fang Banxiang! Great joy! Great joy! Our master is overjoyed! "
Fang Yun could tell that it was the voice of one of Feng Yuanjun's followers. He immediately remembered that Feng Yuanjun had gone to the River of Enlightenment a few days ago and there had been no news from her.
After I finished writing, I checked it myself and asked a friend to check it. However, I wrote until four in the morning yesterday and couldn't find a friend, so there were a lot of mistakes yesterday. I've corrected them. Sorry. I hope the system will update normally. (To be continued …)
