Chapter 39: The Art of War
Jiang Hexing saw that Wang Ke and they were busy, and everyone was uncomfortable here, so they hurriedly took their own soldiers to the military academy to visit the military cadets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tents of the military academy are very neat and orderly, like a queue, 10 in a row, a total of 10 rows, forming a boxy square.
There is no school building yet, some of the students are practicing equestrianism, some are practicing knives and guns, and there are 50 people, lined up in five teams of 10 people, sitting on the grass, and an instructor in front of them is holding a white whip, pointing to the white plank behind him, and is teaching the students.
Jiang He walked over, and the instructor saw that Jiang He was walking closer, so he quickly put down the whip and greeted him, and the students stood up and saluted together.
Jiang Hexing returned the military salute and asked the instructor, "What are you teaching now?" ”
The instructor reported: "He Wang, I am talking about the Art of War, and I have a request. ”
Jiang Hexing nodded and said: "If you have any requests, you can just say that although there is no school building yet, it is estimated that it will take a hard time, and it will be good to live for a while." Say what you want, and don't hesitate to mention what you lack. ”
The instructor said: "Hewang, I don't lack something to beg you, I want you to talk about "The Art of War". ”
Jiang Hexing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You teach it quite well, this book is nothing more than for them to understand, and the specific use depends on their slow understanding in the future." ”
The instructor said: "I also want to learn from He Wang first, and then I can talk to them later." I had gone to Chief of Staff Zhang, but he said that he was too busy and really didn't have time, so he asked me to go to you at night. ”
Jiang Hexing laughed and said, "Chief of Staff Zhang will throw off the burden, okay, I'll talk about it." Do the students have books, and where is the talk? ”
The instructor replied, "Every student has a copy, I think they have all read it, after all, this book is very famous, but it seems to be very difficult to understand it completely, and it is even more difficult to use it with me." Now I'm just starting to teach, and I'm talking about the beginning, so I'm going to start from the beginning. ”
Jiang Hexing nodded, and went straight to the podium, where the instructor and Jiang Hexing's pro-soldiers were sitting on the grass with the students.
Jiang Hexing took the textbook that the instructor put on the stage just now, opened it and looked at it, it was all copied on new white paper, it was very clear, Jiang Hexing looked at it for a while, turned to the audience and said: "Whoever has read this book in its entirety, raise your hand, I'll take a look." ”
Qi Shushu's arms were raised, and he had seen them all, even the two pro-soldiers of Jiang Hexing.
Jiang Hexing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it seems that everyone loves to learn." However, I want to tell you how to read and how to study today. ”
Jiang Hexing paced in square steps, walking up and down in front of the white plank, his eyes looking at the students below.
Everyone looked at Jiang Hexing with a suspicious attitude.
Jiang Hexing continued: "Confucius once said, 'If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you don't learn, you will perish', I think this is good, we must first learn how to think in our study." How do you think about it? Think rationally and with facts.
Only by thinking and learning can we gain something, otherwise even if Sun Tzu's art of war is well cooked, it will not be of much use. The same is true for reading, and we must also learn to think while reading, and think through all kinds of problems. Next, I will tell you how to read and study the Art of War. ”
Jiang Hexing said this, casually pointed to a student, and asked him to read the first chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
The student stood up, picked up the book, and read it very skillfully: "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Therefore, the scriptures are ...... with five things"
Jiang Hexing happily praised: "Very skilled, it seems that I have read it many times below, and my performance is very good, and it is worth learning from." ”
The student's head was raised high, and a smug look appeared on his face.
Jiang Hexing continued: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country must be taken seriously. Let's take reality as an example, Wang Mang changed the seal of the Xiongnu around the Han Land, the Western Regions, or our Pingzhou this time, and changed the title of the king to the feudal marquis, which is a very rash introduction of the country into the war. Can any of you give an example of a historical story that treats military affairs as child's play. ”
Immediately, a person raised his hand, and Jiang Hexing saw that it was the young hero Peng Zhongyu, nodded and said, "Xiao Peng, you come to answer." ”
Peng Zhongyu stood up and asked with some unconfidence: "Are the princes of the Beacon Opera counted?" ”
Jiang Hexing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course, you returned very well." In the future, you should study like this, learn to consider whether there are such examples or counterexamples in reality and history, and strive to learn to draw inferences from others. ”
The students below were very happy, especially Peng Zhongyu, who was even more happy.
Jiang Hexing continued: "The five things and seven strategies that Sun Tzu talked about below, I will first divide them into categories. According to the subjective and objective requirements, the three categories of Tao, heaven and earth, and the law can only be counted as objective requirements, while heaven and earth can only be counted as objective requirements. It can be seen that the grandson was negligent when classifying? Confusing the subjective with the objective. I'm not here to criticize, I'm teaching you that when you read, you should think with your own brain, judge with what you have learned and seen, and not blindly follow.
Now let's talk about seven more plans: "Who is the Lord?" Who will be capable? Who has heaven and earth? What is the law? Which of the soldiers is stronger? Soldiers' training? What is the reward and punishment?
You see, these seven plans are an extension or explanation of the five things. ”
Jiang Hexing was about to continue, when a student raised his hand, and Jiang Hexing saw that the person was very white, like a talent.
Jiang Hexing nodded and said: "If you have any questions, just ask, what I said is also my family's words, what do you think." If this classmate has any questions, let's talk about it. ”
The student stood up, his chest straight, and said, "He Wang, I think there seems to be something wrong with what you said?" ”
Before Jiang Hexing could speak, the instructor stood up, glared at Du Fei and said in a fierce voice: "Du Fei, you talk a lot, is there still a mistake with the king?" ”
The student felt a little flustered when he heard the instructor's serious tone, lowered his head, and kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands.
Jiang Hexing said: "My class is not a lecture hall, everyone has opinions, no matter what opinions, as long as it is the result of your serious thinking, I am willing to discuss it together."
Jiang Hexing said as he turned his head to the instructor and said, "You can't suppress the students in the future." ”
The instructor sat down dumbfounded.
Jiang Hexing said to Du Fei with a smile: "Your name is Du Fei, very good, you continue to talk about your opinions." ”
Du Fei was encouraged by Jiang Hexing and said: "He Wang, this theory of heaven and earth is slightly different from the five things above, the above meaning can be understood according to the king, in fact, it can also be regarded as the subjective requirements of the generals, which means that the generals must understand the various situations about heaven and earth. ”
Jiang Hexing looked at the original text, and felt that Du Feizhi's understanding was not impossible, and he praised again and again: "The future is terrifying, the future is terrible, the instructor has a first-class combat merit, and the students you teach are promising, and they are willing to think." ”
The instructor's embarrassed expression just now was swept away, and he looked at Du Fei happily.
Jiang Hexing then asked Du Fei: "Du Fei, how can you explain these five things and seven plans?" ”
Du Fei raised his head and said: "This five things and seven plans are too complicated, I think it can be changed to 'There is a way, a general, a brave soldier, and a lot of soldiers.'" 'Heaven and earth, law rewards and punishments can be counted as the ability of generals, soldiers must be familiar with drills, the more soldiers, the better. ”
Jiang Hexing said: "Okay, you Du Fei, you can really summarize it, Sun Tzu's five things and seven strategies in the Art of War have been changed to 4 points by you." Very good, I appreciate that the future general has you one. ”
Jiang Hexing praised him, and the competitive cadets began to ponder, which one is willing to lag behind, but it is obviously a little difficult to have this Du Fei's ability.
When the students were helpless, Peng Zhongyu raised his hand and asked: "Hewang, if we occupy everything, such as having a way, we will be able to fight, and we will definitely be able to win the battle." But just like us and the Huns, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, for example, they have more soldiers than us, and they occupy too many advantages in terms of geography, how can we know whether we will win or lose? ”
Jiang Hexing looked at Peng Zhongyu, then looked at the people in the audience, and said slowly: "No matter how the war is calculated, it is very difficult, even impossible, to win an absolute victory. Even if there are advantages in all aspects, the result may not be a real victory. Wars are not calculated, but fought. In the intermediate process, the generals need to make full use of their own advantages and fight against the enemy's weaknesses.
War is a dynamic process, and both sides are constantly adjusting to the situation on the battlefield, and the initial advantage may not guarantee the final victory. In addition, there will be many unexpected factors in war, especially the weather, although we try to know more, it does not mean that we can really predict everything. The war will not be fought to the end, and it will be uncertain for both sides, so you have to take your time to understand the process.
There is also a decisive factor in war, which Sun Tzu did not mention in the Art of War, and I will tell you about it here. ”
