He hurriedly returned to his dormitory, found an encyclopedia, turned to the page that introduced Sun Tzu's Art of War, and sure enough, he saw that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was included. His encyclopedia has more than 10,000 pages, including many well-known books in that world, and the full text of "The Art of War" is only more than 6,000 words, so it is all included.

Wang Yangming lit the lamp, and read the "Art of War" under the lamp, and said in the introduction: "The Art of War" is the earliest military book in China, which has always been highly respected and studied by many people. According to the "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicle" records 82 articles of "The Art of War of Wu Sun and Sun Tzuzi", and it is recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" that (Sun Wu) used the art of war to see in Wu Wang Lu. He Lu said: "The thirteen chapters of the son, I have seen it all, can I try to extort the soldiers?" "The Art of War" is known as the "holy book of military science" and "the first military book in ancient times". It has played an extremely important guiding role in the military scholarship and war practice of the Han nationality in ancient China.

Wang Yangming went to read the text and saw that this art of war is divided into thirteen chapters, namely "The Beginning of the Plan", "The Combat Chapter", "The Attack Chapter", "The Military Shape Chapter", "The Strength of the Army", "The Fiction and the Reality", "The Military Battle", "The Nine Changes", "The Terrain", "The Nine Places", "The Fire Attack", and "The Use of the Room", although it is concise and concise, it has exhausted the secrets of the soldiers, and it is no wonder that it has been used as the bible of the soldiers for thousands of years.

Wang Yangming started from the first article, and said:

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on calculations to find out their feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. The Taoist makes the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with it, they can live with it, and they are not afraid of danger. The heavens, yin and yang, cold and heat, and the time system. The earth, far and near, dangerous, wide and narrow, dead and alive. Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness. The law, the bend system, the official way, and the main use. All these five will be unheard, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win. Therefore, the school used its plan to find out the situation, and said: Who has the way, who has the ability, who has the ability to win the heavens and the earth, which law is enforced, which is the strength of the soldiers, who is the training of the soldiers, and which is the reward and punishment? They will listen to my plan, use it to win, and keep it, and if they do not listen to my plan, they will lose if they use it, and they will go. Calculating profit to listen is the momentum of the situation, in order to support it. The powerful are also controlled by profit. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown that it cannot be used, it is not used and it is not used, it is shown far away when it is near, and it is shown that it is near when it is far away; it is tempting to benefit it, it is taken from chaos and it is taken in chaos, it is prepared for it, it is strong and avoided, it is scratched by anger, it is humble and arrogant, it is hard to work for it, and it is close to it. Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first. The husband who does not fight and the temple is counted as the victor, and the person who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, it is counted as less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! From this point of view, victory or defeat can be seen.

Wang Yangming read it, closed his eyes and pondered, and said in his heart: Sun Wu's book is called the art of war, but the beginning does not talk about the art of war but the importance of using soldiers. If you don't fight well, you will have to destroy the country and exterminate the species. These words have already said the essence of using soldiers: attacking the heart is the top, and breaking the city is the bottom. With this premise, we began to talk about how to use soldiers to fight. Sun Wu is really worthy of being the god of war, and he suddenly said the true meaning of using soldiers, and it is no wonder that people have respected Sun Tzu's art of war for thousands of years.

As for the sophistry of the soldier mentioned later, it is a specific method of war, but it is a practical skill. He looked at it for a while, and he was still unsatisfied, so he continued to look down, and read all the 6,000 words of Sun Tzu's Art of War in one night, although he had some understanding, he felt that such a utopian dream could not be implemented, and it had to be applied in actual combat, but where was the opportunity to exercise him at present.

So he threw away Sun Tzu's Art of War and went to sleep by himself.

A few days later, Wang Yangming suddenly received an order from Shangfeng, saying that there was a military aircraft meeting in the morning to study the deployment strategy of the Northwest Frontier Army, and let all the officers above the seventh rank listen to it, which naturally included Zhuang Juxian and him. Zhuang Juxian said strangely: "In the past, this kind of meeting is just for relevant people, and our service camp has always been unmixed, I don't know why this time, even you and I are among them." ”

Wang Yangming secretly wondered if this matter would have anything to do with that fire and greed, but the military aircraft meeting was the top secret of the headquarters, and that person should not have this kind of energy. I had no choice but to go with Zhuang Juxian.

When the two of them walked to the military aircraft department, they saw that it was already full of people. The room was not very big, and it could not accommodate so many people, and it turned out that this room was used for decision-making by the military aircraft battalion, and it was originally only used by the military aircraft battalion and several core departments, and there was never a situation where all officers above the seventh rank came, so the room was crowded. Seeing that there was no place to sit, the two had to find a place to stand. Several military bigwigs were seated, only the top seat was vacant, Wang Yangming expected that that the commander in chief of the entire Northwest Frontier Army was sitting, and the commander-in-chief didn't know what kind of person it was, and he hadn't seen it yet.

While thinking about it, I saw the door open, a person walked into the house with his head held high, and sat down on the seat of the head with a loud bang, the person was wearing a military uniform, and when he walked, he looked forward to the wind, and everyone who passed by called him the commander-in-chief, Wang Yangming had already been stunned when he saw him, it turned out that the person was the white-robed strange man who chopped wood with him a few days ago, and he was greedy for a knife!

Wang Yangming was dumbfounded, the man glanced around, saw him standing stupidly behind the crowd and looking at him, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes left him, looking at the room full of people: "Everyone, I called everyone here today to discuss military aircraft." In the past, this kind of meeting was just about relevant people waiting to come over, but today, I thought that there were capable people in all battalions of our Jiayuguan headquarters, and they couldn't bury everyone's talents, so I summoned all the officers above the seventh rank to come here to discuss the military aircraft, and everyone should not be restrained. ”

There was a man under him, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and an evil face, thinking that he was the deputy commander-in-chief, and as soon as the man spoke, his voice was like thunder, but he could hear him say: "Boss, I have never known that there were so many officers in the army. ”

The man smiled and said, "Boss Qin, you still don't communicate too much with the people below. There are more than 30 officials in my Jiayuguan headquarters who are above the seventh grade. ”

The person known as Boss Qin said embarrassedly: "The boss still has the ability, and he even points the head so clearly." ”

The man said to everyone: "Everyone, none of you here may know me, there may be some in the logistics department who have not seen me, let me introduce myself, this handsome Boyan, is the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Frontier Army, and the official residence is the fourth rank of the loyal general." ”

Boss Qin smiled and said: "Your boss still introduces himself, who in the Northwest Army doesn't recognize you as Marshal Boyan." It seems that the two have a very good personal relationship, and they do not shy away from words.

Boyan said: "Now I will invite everyone to discuss the major affairs of the military aircraft, and ask the soldiers of the military aircraft battalion to take the map." ”

At that moment, someone took a map of the northwest defense area, which was one zhang long and one zhang wide, and was directly covered with a large table, which was drawn with fine charcoal, and the desert, mountains, and rivers on the map were clear at a glance. Boyan said to the subordinates of the military aircraft battalion: "I bother you to tell you about the current situation. ”
