"This ...... Is this a book of soldiers?" General Li asked suspiciously, picking up the "Sun Tzu's Dictionary of the Art of War: Revised Edition" and the "Win", which were as thick as an English-Chinese dictionary.

"The previous one was. Cheng Yan replied.

"What about this one?" General Li pointed to the book "Win".

"It wasn't. ”

"I thought both were military books. General Li said, handed the two books to Cheng Yan, and asked, "Do girls also like to read military books?"

"Fortunately, I don't like to read military books, but although this book is a military book, it is very high-level. Because it is not only to teach people how to fight, but to analyze the essence of battle......" Cheng Yan paused, as if unintentionally glanced at Tang Qingying, before continuing, "To put it bluntly, it is to teach you how to win! As long as you can see through the surface to understand its connotation, you will know that its usefulness is by no means limited to the battlefield. As long as there is a fight, it has already summarized the methods of victory, so that future generations have not found a place to supplement it for so many years!"

"Oh?" General Li asked, with some interest, "is this book of war famous?"

"You haven't even heard of Sun Tzu's Art of War!" Cheng Yan frowned and looked at him with some doubts.

"Uh...... Of course, of course I did!" General Li quickly changed his words, "It's just that I haven't read it, so I want to ask, what is written on ......it? What is the status of the world's war books?"

"Are you interested in this?" Cheng Yan asked rhetorically.

"Very interested!" General Lee said.

"That's right. Cheng Yan nodded, organized the language a little, and then said, "In fact, the original version of this book has far less words, and my book contains a lot of translations and annotations." Although there are many articles on Sun Tzu's Art of War, in fact, the whole article is the same truth: to teach you how to win! ”

"As for its status...... Cheng Yan smiled, "I don't know how to say this." ”

"Why?" asked General Lee, pressingly.

"All the classics of pragmatism in the world, if they do not rise to the level of 'Tao', but only stay at the level of 'art', it will not be able to be immortalized after all. Because 'technique' is only a technology or application, it will eventually be eliminated with the change of the times, or replaced by a better 'technique', or abandoned by the times. But the Tao is the most essential thing, the source, the core, the theorem, it can evolve thousands of techniques, no matter how the times change, it will never change. Cheng Yan said calmly.

"Well, that makes sense. After thinking for a while, General Li felt that he was convinced, "Please continue!"

And Cheng Yun next to him took an apple from the coffee table, glanced at Tang Qingying, who was dozing off in the front desk, and took out a folding Swiss knife in the drawer, lowered his head and silently peeled the apple.

I saw Cheng Yan pick up this thick book of Sun Tzu's Art of War and continue: "And it is a famous book describing the way to victory, which has been regarded as a sacred book of soldiers from generation to generation, and has a very important position even in the world's military history! This is not to say that the ancients were smarter than us, which is not the case, but what I just said -- it is a summary of the 'technique' and a book that describes the 'Tao'. The ancients have already taken the lead in summarizing the summary and expounding the 'Tao', and we can only continue to interpret it and extend the 'art' suitable for our time and environment, and there will never be another "Art of War". ”

General Li's eyes widened when he heard this: "More than 2,000 years ago! The ancients were really amazing! This book is also amazing!"

"yes. Cheng Yan seemed to have found the feeling of chatting with the old master, but she stood in the position of the old master, "We were in a relatively chaotic period at that time, because of the unique historical background, cultural environment, and war era, which gave birth to this book." Are you interested?"

"Yes. General Lee nodded.

"Then you can take it and see it. Cheng Yan said and handed the tome to General Li, "But take care of it, this book is super expensive!"

"Thank you very much, I won't break it!" said General Lee, taking the book as if he had been a treasure, and his eyes still shone with a strange and incomprehensible glint.

"Have you read the book of war before?" asked Cheng Yan with a frown.

"Naturally, I've read a few books. General Li replied subconsciously, but after answering, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly glanced at Cheng Yan, afraid that she would ask, and said, "But I just watched it randomly, and I don't remember the content until now." ”

"That's it!" Cheng Yan nodded, with some doubts in his eyes, "It's quite rare for someone to show such a strong interest in reading a certain book for the first time. ”

"Hey, hey. General Lee smirked.

General Li is also a powerful general who leads troops to fight, although he is from a civilian background, he has read a few military books no matter what. It's just that his education level was really not high before, his father taught him to read and write, and he didn't read many books. In addition, when he was busy in the war, he was both running around and tired, and sometimes he was hit by a knife and arrow, so how could he have time to be idle like the children of the scholars and gate lords to study the military book seriously, which also led to General Li's military level among the many generals in Mingchuan can only be regarded as average.

He can rank middle like this, not that he is talented, but that Mingchuan has been in the war for many years, and a considerable number of generals who are still fighting on the front line are indeed from mud legs.

Now, the station master taught him to recognize all the languages of the country on the first day he came, and he has a lot of spare time to sell pancakes, so he can read more books and make up for his previous shortcomings!

And he also wanted to see how the Soldier Sacred Book was so highly rated in Cheng Yan's mouth!

Cheng Yun peeled the apple, motioned to Tang Qingying, and then peeled half of it to her. He saw that Cheng Yan and the two seemed to have finished talking, so he took a bite of the apple and said, "When I'm done, I'm going to call Didi." ”

Cheng Yan glanced at him coldly, then glanced at Tang Qingying, who was also eating apples, and twisted his pretty face to the side!

Cheng Yun shrugged and called Didi directly.

They hadn't been back for a long time, and there was a lot of dust in their homes. And some of the things that were originally placed on the coffee table and TV cabinet were also put into the drawers, and the sofa and bed were covered with dust cloths, causing the place where they grew up to look very cold at this time, completely no longer warm, and not even like a place to live.

"Alas!"

Cheng Yun sighed, shook his head, and said, "Let's go to the closet to find clothes first, and then see if there are any ones that can be used over there, and bring them over if they can be used." ”

Cheng Yan was also a little silent, nodded and walked to his bedroom.

It's always the saddest thing to remember, probably because the future will come eventually, and the past can't be returned!
