Chapter 10: The Mysterious Old Man (3)
"Don't dare to ......" Zhang Yue no matter how bold he is, no matter how much he talks, he doesn't dare to say that he can be compared with Huo Quai, the general of the Great Sima Champion Hou Hussar.
Even, he is still a brain-dead fan of Huo Qu's disease.
There are thousands of famous generals in history, and the people who made Zhang Yue's five bodies throw themselves to the ground, and even were willing to die, except for Grandpa Yue, were Huo Quai.
However, this incident also gave Zhang Yue an inspiration.
"Perhaps in the future, I should go back to the contents of the "Treatise on War" and translate it into the words of this time, so that everyone in the world can read it......"
There is no doubt that "On War" is the most important military work of the West in later generations, and it can even be said that it is the best military work in the entire modern military history!
It goes straight to the heart of the matter and directly exposes the essence of war.
If it can be made to appear in China 2,000 years in advance, then it will definitely change the world completely!
The old man was still in shock.
Cutting off the right arm of the Xiongnu is the national policy of the country.
Since it is a national policy, it is naturally secret.
At least, people who are less than a certain level will not have access to this plan at all.
However, in Nanling County, just outside Chang'an City, he heard from a teenager that the court had been planning a strategic plan for several years.
It's not that this young man is dressed plainly, and he doesn't seem to be the son of a rich family.
He almost thought that someone in the court had leaked about the military affairs!
"Later life, old decay listens to you: war is the continuation of politics, war is the solution of politics through another means, politics is the end, and war is the means...... Did you think of it yourself? The old man asked softly, but there was a slight suspicion in his tone.
This is a method that he has tried and tested for many years, and it is also a natural way to deal with it that has been pitted too much.
Basically, in recent years, there have been very few people who can take advantage of him.
"Don't dare to hide it from the elders, these are indeed some shallow opinions of the younger generation......" Zhang Yue was not stunned, the ancestors of the authors of these words did not know where to play with mud.
"Oh...... I guess you have a lot of similar thoughts...... The old man's favorite thing in his life is to listen to young people talk about things......" The old man chuckled and said: "If the future is not disgusted, you might as well say it and listen to it, if it is good, the old man will recommend the future to be the talent of Nanling County this year......"
"Xiucai?!" When Zhang Yue heard this word, his heart beat uncontrollably.
Han Zhixiucai is not the lowest level of the imperial examination in later generations.
The so-called Xiucai comes from "Guanzi": the son of the farmer is often a farmer, and he is not a fool, and his talent can be a scholar, and it is enough to rely on it.
Translated into popular terms, it is the son of a farmer, who has excellent talents and extraordinary abilities, and is born with the knowledge that he can do anything!
Today, Xiucai, filial piety, virtuousness, and Fangzheng together form the system of the Han family inspection system.
Since there has been a show of talent, but whoever is lifted, at least one county order can't run away!
In the entire Guanzhong, the number of one-year-old talents, filial piety, virtuousness, and square is only twenty.
As for Nanling County, it has been ten years, and there has been no show.
The last talent showed off and became a shame for Nanling.
Or even a disgrace to the whole world!
If there is a Xiucai identity on him, then it is impossible for either Confucianism or Gongsun to move him easily.
It's just that......
A scholar who came out of the non-Confucian probation system?
The last such person, I'm afraid it has to be traced back to twenty years ago, when the general Wei Qing recommended Xianxuan.
Although Zhang Yue didn't believe it, the old man in front of him could have such an ability, and he could press himself as a showman under the Confucianism and Gongsun clan.
However, it is right to make more good connections and make more friends.
Moreover, with his current status, such an old man who is not rich or noble, being willing to listen to him and listen to him explain his inner aspirations is already precious in itself.
Now is not the era of thirty or forty years ago, when a hundred schools of thought contended, a hundred flowers bloomed, and aristocrats competed to win people's hearts.
Now, Confucianism is the only one, and the buyer's market has long since become a seller's market.
The Confucian scholars say that if you are a villain, you have to be a villain!
There is not even a room for argumentation!
Zhang Yue then smiled and said: "Just a boy, even thinking about words, can be liked by the elderly, and he should say everything......"
"Good!" There was a look of appreciation in the old man's eyes.
He just likes young people like that.
Not to mention, this old Huang scholar of Nanling, the sharpness, demeanor, words and deeds shown in front of him reminded him of those outstanding people when the Huang Lao School was at its peak.
He didn't forget that once upon a time, the framework of the entire empire was designed by Minister Huang.
Even today, the empire still retains its political legacy.
Originally, he still suspected that this young man, who might have heard or copied such words from somewhere, would have offered the treasure in front of him.
But, judging by his reaction and attitude, it is not at all like that.
Moreover, he can face it calmly and is willing to discuss it in depth with himself.
You can't go wrong!
In other respects, the old man may sigh to himself that he does not know, but when it comes to military theory...... He thinks that in the whole world, there are only three or five people who can compare with him.
"Young man, old man heard you say: war is a continuation of politics, I wonder if there is any other way to say this?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yue Gong said: "The younger generation privately thinks that politics is the goal, and war is the means, and politics not only causes war, but also dominates war, so the nature of politics determines the continuation of war!" ”
"Just like today, the Han-Hungarian War ...... Some people think that this war has dragged on for a long time, wasted national strength, and caused the people to have a poor livelihood and the country is in difficulty, but how do they know that this war cannot be ended at the beginning...... Unless the Han perishes or submits to the Xiongnu, or the Xiongnu perishes or defeats the Han, it is impossible to stop! ”
"Because this war is not a dispute between one family and one surname, not a dispute between one place and one moment, but a fierce conflict between two nations, two civilizations, two ways of life and two completely different values!"
"My country, Zhuxia nobles, the country of right farming, my clan, from Yanhuang, since Cangjie to create words, the three kings rule the world, then on the filial piety of the father, under the parents, in the middle of the wife and children!"
"And the Huns, leading beasts to eat people, no etiquette and law, father and son Kunzhong live together, living in water and grass!"
"We create, they destroy, we are civilized, they are barbaric, we are loyal and filial, and they have no father and no king!"
"Therefore, the war against the Xiongnu is not only a shame for the Snow Country, nor is it just for revenge, but for the sake of the Zhuxia nation, for future generations, for all generations!"
"Therefore, the younger generation privately thinks that when the war against the Xiongnu begins, this war is doomed to be impossible to end peacefully, and the Han and the Xiongnu will not fall down, and the war will not end!"
"Because this is the nature of politics, which determines the continuation of the war!"
