Many people were prejudiced against Cao Cao and thought Cao Cao was cunning, but Sun Quan was different, and he believed that Cao Cao's promises were credible. A person who has no faith and no righteousness will not be able to obtain Cao Cao's final achievements at all, and Cao Cao will not be able to become a generation of heroes. However, whether Cao Cao was honest or not is not enough to change Sun Quan's judgment.

Yes, even if Cao Cao didn't tell "The Art of War" to anyone, so what? Is Sun Quan afraid of Cao Cao's descendants? Cao Cao himself learned Sun Tzu's Art of War, is it the most terrifying!

Teach Cao Cao Sun the Art of War now, and let him fight himself in the future?

Therefore, Sun Quan hesitated, he didn't dare to agree to such conditions easily.

Sun Quan hesitated, Cao Cao was not surprised, after all, this was the most precious thing of the Sun family, of course, Cao Cao at this time did not know the real reason for Sun Quan's hesitation. So Cao Cao continued to persuade,

"Virtuous nephew, can't you keep my oath? Or do you think I, Cao Cao, will use the Art of War to do bad things and help the enemy? ”

“。。。。。。。”

Sun Quan is still silent, now everyone is an ally, it does not mean that they will be allies for the rest of their lives. Of course, Sun Quan would not say this kind of thing directly. Then let Cao Cao add an oath never to use the Art of War against his grandson's family? Can you really tell which one is the Art of War? Since they have already fought against each other, do you still care about the art of war? At that time, if Sun Quan is really obsessed with Cao Cao's final respect and does not keep his promise, it is easy to fall into a dilemma of thinking.

Otherwise, how about letting Cao Cao change the conditions? But Sun Quan himself didn't think there was anything else he could do.

"It seems that the virtuous nephew can't trust me, and in that case, then we have nothing to talk about. Even if I promised you to help your father, you wouldn't be able to trust me, would you? Cao Cao said.

"Uncle Cao, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, isn't it? The stakes are so high, how can I not think about it. If I had agreed to you without hesitation, you would have doubted me again, wouldn't you? Sun Quan said.

"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed, "That's what the virtuous nephew said. Actually, I'm not in a hurry at all, you can think about it slowly, but I don't know if General Sun can wait. ”

Sun Quan was speechless for a while, this Cao Cao was simply a profiteer who ate himself. However, Cao Cao is like this, he is a practical and truth-telling person, and his growing up environment since childhood has made Cao Cao not as round and round as Yuan Shao. Seriously, Sun Quan almost wanted to give Cao Cao a fake copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War to fool the past. But Sun Quan knew very well that with Cao Cao's level, if he made up a fake, he could tell it at a glance.

So, a mixture of truth and falsehood, a few true and a few false?

No, it doesn't. The art of war is not like martial arts, once martial arts are practiced, there is no turning back, but after you learn the art of war, it depends on whether you use it or not, and which one you use. There is logic and reason in this, the art of war is about improvisation, and Cao Cao is not the type of dead study, so in the end, according to the actual situation, he will only choose those real art of war, and will ignore the fake art of war made up by Sun Quan.

In addition, there is another disadvantage of fraud, that is, once Cao Cao found out that Sun Quan had cheated, he had enough reason not to stick to his oath. For Sun Quan, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Good! I promise! ”

Finally, Sun Quan replied, and before Cao Cao had time to be happy, he listened to Sun Quan continue,

"But 。。。。。。"

Cao Cao smiled slightly, he knew that it was not that simple, but Sun Quan could agree, he was already very satisfied.

"There are a total of thirty-six strategies for the Art of War, and I write one plan for Uncle Cao every year, and I can learn it in thirty-six years." Sun Quan said.

(To be clear, Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Strategies are not actually a book, but a combination of them.) In this book, the original content of Sun Tzu's Art of War is not highly confidential, everyone in the Sun family knows it, and the thirty-six strategies are the core, and the direct family is qualified to learn)

"Thirty-six years?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I'll already be in the ground by then, even if I don't enter the ground, can I still bring troops?" Virtuous nephew, I Cao Cao learned the art of war, in order to do a great career, in order to help the Han Dynasty regain its life! The faster I learn, the more I learn, and the more I contribute! ”

"Uncle Cao, you know a sentence, it's too much, it's too much to chew. You learn one strategy at a time, ponder slowly, and only then can you understand it thoroughly, and you can master all the art of war at one time, but it is easy to only care about the surface and ignore the essence. I'm not afraid to tell you, I haven't learned all 36 tricks until now, and I have learned it slowly little by little every year. Sun Quan emphasized.

Regardless of whether what Sun Quan said was true or not, this was not the result that Cao Cao was willing to see. Even if what Sun Quan said made sense, Cao Cao also wanted to get the thirty-six plans in his hands at one time, Cao Cao believed in himself, had the perseverance, and could only go to see the next plan after thinking through a plan. But every time he waited for Sun Quan to give advice, Cao Cao was passive.

Regarding Cao Cao's opinion, Sun Quan directly refused, and Sun Quan also directly said that he just couldn't believe Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao is worth believing now, people will change, it doesn't mean that Cao Cao in the future is also worth believing. If one day, Cao Cao broke his oath, or if it became bad, Sun Quan could still refuse to teach Cao Cao the next art of war, and the Sun family, who had a complete set of Sun Tzu's Art of War, could also restrict Cao Cao, who only had half of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Only by stretching the timeline long enough can you really see a person's character.

In the end, the two bargained and finally agreed to complete the study in a total of 18 years.

After reaching an agreement, Sun Quan, in order to show his sincerity, wrote out the first of the 36 plans on the spot, "Concealing the sky and crossing the sea". Cao Cao is also a real person, although he was extremely happy to get the "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea", Cao Cao did not immediately go to study, and directly sent troops to show Sun Quan his sincerity.

Sun Quan continued to use his lack of trust in Cao Cao as a superintendent, hoping to follow the army as a supervisor. At the beginning, Cao Cao didn't plan to agree with Sun Quan, after all, fighting was not a joke, this move was easy to offend Sun Jian, not to mention, once there was an accident, it would be very difficult for Cao Cao to protect Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan promised that he had a master to protect him, so he didn't have to worry too much about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had just obtained Sun Tzu's Art of War, so he felt that he must not have communicated better with Sun Quan, an "expert", so he finally brought Sun Quan with him.

On the way, Cao Cao will definitely seize the time to learn the art of war, and if he encounters something he doesn't understand, he can also ask Sun Quan for advice or two. Well, I hope that Sun Quan, a guy who knows a little bit about it, will not lead our future military strategist Cao Cao astray.

Well, in the art of war, I don't know if Cao Cao was led astray by Sun Quan, Cao Cao's eyes were led astray by Sun Quan as soon as he came.

When Cao Cao stared at Yu'er in a daze, Sun Quan reacted in hindsight, oops, let Cao Cao, an old pervert, see "Diao Chan". has always been fireproof, anti-theft and anti-Lu Bu, but this time he actually forgot to prevent Cao Cao!
