Chapter 381: The Way of the Soldier
Sheng Xuan suddenly looked at Sun Wu.
Sun Wu was silent, and suddenly sighed after a while, "I haven't asked the names of the two yet, why did you suddenly appear here?"
Shao Yang smiled slightly, "I'm Shao Yang, and this is Sheng Xuan's senior." ”
Then, he explained the reason for his visit to Sun Wu. Of course, it is natural to conceal the fragments of time, and he did not use the words of the emperor's envoy, only to say that occasionally he would take action when he took pity on the innocent people of Yue Country.
Sun Wu sighed: "Gou Jian is really lucky. ”
Seeing that Shao Yang had already guessed, Sun Wu calmly admitted, "Shao Yang's little friend guessed well, this beast control technique should be newly researched by Wu Zixu in combination with my art of war, as well as his own various thaumaturgy in recent years." When I left the kingdom of Wu, I had never seen this technique. But according to my speculation, this technique must also have many limitations and dangers. ”
Shao Yang pleaded: "Sir, now that Wu Xiangguo is using this method, just a beast, it has caused a catastrophe in the Yue Kingdom, the people are not happy, and the starvation is endless. If other strange beasts come out again, I am afraid that there will not be one out of ten people in the Yue Kingdom!"
"Sir, how can you watch this happen, and turn a deaf ear? ”
Sun Wu was silent.
This time, Wu Zixu came and visited him first, and he persuaded the latter, but Wu Zixu refused to listen.
Sun Wu naturally couldn't bear it, but he was also in charge of a country's soldiers, and he knew that soldiers were fierce. The general gave an order, and millions of bones were in the wilderness.
As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers.
Moreover, after all, he used to be a minister of Wu, although because Wu Wangfu was not a king of the Tao, Sun Wu had been able to get a glimpse of the defeat of Wu, but at this time, he was naturally not good at giving advice to the enemy country, which ruined Wu Zixu's plan.
Shao Yang naturally understood Sun Wu's concerns, but he didn't have any good ways to do this kind of thing. After a moment of silence, Shao Yang slowly spoke, "Sir, as you advised Wu Xiangguo, Wu Wangfu is not the king of the world. Even if Wu Xiangguo can use this strategy to break through Yue today, Wu has Chu in the west and Qi in the north, so how can he use this strategy to break Qi and Chu again? The strength of the country lies in the monarch and the people, not in this kind of thaumaturgy. ”
In the "Art of War" left by Sun Wu, we can see his ideas and thoughts on war. As the saying goes, "those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people instead of the war", there is a cloud: "Those who have a long time and the country benefits are not there".
It is this kind of thinking.
Going up to the army to plot, then to fight, the art of the battle array, and the strategy of the next step; like Wu Zixu, in fact, in Sun Wu's heart, it was even more difficult to get on the table, and it was just a temporary expedient measure.
"The one who can and the king does not win wins".
Now Wu Guo, Wu Wangfucha and Xiangguo Wu Zixu have actually violated Sun Wu's concept of "knowing that there are five".
Because of this, Sun Wu abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion.
Half an hour later.
Sun Wu sighed and said: "Wu Guo can also be regarded as having the grace of knowing me, so that I can show what I have learned, and I have the method of today's soldier." Therefore I can forsake him, but I cannot do him any harm. ”
Shao Yang couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard it.
Hearing Sun Wu say this, it was obvious that as he expected, in the face of Wu Zixu's scheme, Sun Wu did not have a way to crack it, but because of Wu's old feelings, he was reluctant to speak.
Since Sun Wu was reluctant to speak, Shao Yang had nothing to do. Mo said that Sun Wu did not necessarily have the power of self-preservation, even if he really didn't, his identity as the originator of the military family alone also made Shao Yang reluctant to use force.
Therefore, Shao Yang sighed and said, "Since Mr. insists on doing so, then I will say goodbye." Although this matter is difficult, I can only fight hard. ”
Shaoyang pulled Sheng Xuan and wanted to go with him.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard Sun Wu behind him suddenly speak: "Wait." ”
"Huh?" Shao Yang turned around.
Sun Wu said slowly: "Shaoyang Xiaoyou, I think you are quite talented together with the formation. The formation is fundamentally based on controlling the flow according to the place, avoiding the real and attacking the void. I have a little understanding of this way, if Shaoyang Xiaoyou doesn't dislike it, how about I teach you this way?"
Shao Yang was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly turned around, and gave Sun Wu a big salute, "I don't dare to ask for my ears!"
He understood that Sun Wu was instructing himself in this way!
Sheng Xuan glanced at Shao Yang and couldn't help sighing, how could all the benefits be obtained by this kid? But thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable for Shao Yang to get so many benefits.
If another person is here, how can he be like Shao Yang and show such a talent in formation?
As for speculating on Sun Wuzi and Wu Zixu's various ideas, the courage and sensitivity shown in them are even more prohibitive.
No wonder he has achieved such an achievement at such a young age.
......
The way of formation has begun to accompany almost from the beginning of the war. In ancient legends, the Yellow Emperor learned all kinds of battle array techniques from the Nine Heavens Xuannu to defeat Chiyou, and later, Jiang Taigong wrote "Liutao", Wu Qi wrote "Wu Zi", and Sun Bin wrote "Sun Bin Art of War...... All have an in-depth analysis of the method of battle formation.
Therefore, the way of formation is one of the very important foundations of the soldier.
Of course, Shao Yang also knew that in the development of later generations, the formation had jumped out of the limitations of the soldiers and began to be used in more and more fields!
Shao Yang had also done a rough study before, but it was the first time that he had retreated to the basic path of the battle array.
Sun Wu is worthy of being the founder of the military family, even if he does not describe the method of battle formations too much in "The Art of War", but his understanding of various battle formations is far beyond others.
This is the foundation of military training.
Of course, on the other side, Sun Wuzi was also surprised. The various formations he taught were naturally not the most multiplicative formations of the military family, but many of them were already quite profound, and even more on the one that Sun Wu had arranged outside the cave mansion.
However, when Shao Yang first heard it, there were still many puzzles, but as long as Sun Wu said it once, Shao Yang would understand a lot;
It is almost never necessary for Sun Wu to explain it a second time.
Therefore, Sun Wu unconsciously talked more and more, and carefully interpreted the mystery of his "Art of War" to Shao Yang.
Shao Yang naturally recited "The Art of War", but at this time, Sun Wu has already extended from this classic book of soldiers to the way of soldiers!
Shaoyang also has a lot of understanding.
Two hours later.
Sun Wu suddenly stopped talking and sighed: "That's it, everything I can teach is already in it." As for how much you comprehend and how much you can use, it only depends on your personal understanding. Although I am a minister of the state of Wu, you are not, so naturally it will not affect you to use what you have learned to do what you want to do. ”
Shao Yang respectfully saluted Sun Wu and said, "Master." ”
Sun Wu avoided accepting it, "You are not my disciple." I'm just passing on some of what I've learned to you. These things are not unique to me. ”
Shao Yang understood that Sun Wu was referring to the way of the soldiers! Sun Wu wrote "The Art of War" and was known as the ancestor of the soldiers.
However, after all, the way of the soldier was slowly developed from the war, and it was the way of application that was obtained from reality.
Therefore, without Sun Wu, there will naturally be others.
