"The art of war is the method and strategy of combat, which is what you call conspiracy. Its purpose is to win the battle."
“If you use the art of war well, you can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away; if you use it wisely, you can defeat the weak with the strong; if you use it skillfully, you can win the entire victory.
Let me tell you, in today's wars, without any strategy, victory is purely based on the accumulation of people. This is completely inhumane. Aren't the lives of soldiers valuable? They also have parents and children. If they die, who will take care of them?
His wife, children and children?
However, they do so happily, thinking that dying in battle is sacred, and they have no regard for the art of war. I say, they are simply stupid."
The old man said excitedly: "There are ways to reduce the number of casualties, but they abandon these methods and instead advocate individual heroism. In this case, why do we need the army? Why not just call on people with lofty ideals from all over the world and go directly to the army?"
It's not enough to fight on the battlefield. Setting up an army will only waste resources and food.
The army is a place of the Holy Spirit, not a smoky vegetable market. It is an organized and disciplined place, and we must respect it.
Now that the army has been established, it should train an iron-clad team. Such an army should be a whole, not what you are training now, which only trains your combat power and does not care about the unity and cooperation of the team, let alone
What kind of formation?
The art of war serves to achieve these goals, and therefore, it is necessary to have such a team in order to greatly increase its power. Individual random soldiers cannot exert the power of the art of war at all, which is why the art of war is covered in dust."
"I have said all this to let you know what the art of war is and how to bring out the power of the art of war!" The old man looked at Zhou Zhu seriously.
"Oh, that's it." Zhou Zhu felt dizzy after hearing this.
"You won't understand it for a while now, but as you study in the future, your understanding of it will become deeper and deeper."
Yang Qing said: "You have to remember, what I can teach you is just to let you understand what the art of war is and how to use it, but more importantly, you need to use it flexibly. Teach two people the art of war at the same time. When they go to the battlefield,
There may be two different methods, and you have to understand them carefully."
Next, Zhou Zhu heard the old man crackling and saying a lot, what is the value of soldiers, speed, but the trick; what is the value of victory, but not the value of long time; what is the value of knowing one's enemy and one's self, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; what is the method of using soldiers, which is useless?
If it doesn't come, it's because there's nothing to wait for; if it doesn't come, it's because there's nothing to attack...
He couldn't understand any of these words. People who knew him knew that Yang Qing was talking about the art of war, but people who didn't know him thought he was reciting sutras.
However, for Zhou Zhu, although he knew what the old man was doing, he still thought that the old man was chanting sutras.
What are Zhi, Ye, Yu, what are these things, Zhou Zhu doesn't understand at all.
"I finally understand why those people can't understand these art of war. Who can understand it? Can those art of war written down because they don't understand it be useful? No wonder the world doesn't accept it. You can make it popular for them at least.
It's easy to understand." Zhou Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "Even if this art of war is very powerful, but I don't know what it means. Who will study something as obscure as a heavenly book, and who can understand it? I really don't know Grandpa Yang.
How could he know this?"
Zhou Zhu was extremely puzzled, but he couldn't interrupt Yang Qing who was vomiting, so he had to listen to what he had to say.
Finally, this long and boring teaching is over.
"Zhou Zhu, do you understand?" Zhou Zhu nodded decisively. He didn't want to hear it again. That kind of torture was uncomfortable, boring and tasteless.
"Do you really understand?"
"I really understand."
"how does it feel?"
"It is vast, profound, and unfathomable."
But I said in my heart: "It is indeed profound. I can't understand what you are saying. How can I not be profound? I almost fell asleep. This is nothing if not profound."
Yang Qing grinned: "Yes, your enlightenment is very good, a child can be taught!"
"Matter? You are the mattress." Zhou Zhu secretly said: "Only your mattress can scream!"
He has despised Yang Qing in his heart a thousand times.
"Now that you understand everything, then tell me about the deceitful way of war. So you can use it to show that you can't, use it to show it is not in use, be close to show it is far away, and be far away to show it is close. Use it to lure it.
Take them when they are in chaos, prepare them when they are strong, avoid them when they are strong, offend them when they are angry, be arrogant when they are humble, work for them when they are lost, get close to them and separate them, attack them when they are unprepared, and surprise them.' What does this sentence mean?
Let me see how you understand it?" The old man looked at Zhou Zhu with a smile.
He thought this sentence was very simple and Zhou Zhu should understand it. However, what he wanted to hear was not for Zhou Zhu to translate its meaning, but to hear his opinions, hoping that he could have a different understanding and even quote from other sources.
It can be seen that the old man has high expectations for Zhou Zhu.
When Zhou Zhu heard that the old man asked him to explain the meaning of this sentence, he suddenly panicked: "No, let me explain my understanding of it. This..."
"Any questions?" The old man smiled kindly.
"No, no problem." Zhou Zhu smiled bitterly.
Yang Qing had a lot of time to wait for Zhou Zhu's shocking remarks.
Then, Zhou Zhu hesitated. He didn't know what to say. What should he say? He thought to himself: "Grandpa Yang, you are making things difficult for me. Don't say you understand it. Even if you read it fluently, I can't do it."
ah!"
If Zhou Zhu knew how high the old man's expectations were for him, I really don't know what he would think.
"Why don't you tell me quickly?" The old man frowned, a little unhappy.
Cold sweat appeared on Zhou Zhu's forehead. He thought about it again and again, but finally couldn't find any solution.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Zhou Zhu was very panicked: "No, this is not the way to go. We have to think of a way."
After a while, when the old man saw that Zhou Zhu had not answered his question, he couldn't help but become suspicious: "Boy, are you lying to me?"
The old man looked very bad: "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise, the consequences will be cruel. Don't think that I can't deal with you because I don't have a combat power index. Let me tell you, I can still beat you until your nose is black and your face is swollen.
Your parents don’t even know you!”
At this time, Zhou Zhu was trying hard to think of a solution. Suddenly, he thought of something: "Yes, hehe..."
"Who said I can't do it?" Zhou Zhu felt very unhappy and said to the old man: "It's just a word, look at me!"
"Really? Then tell me what you mean quickly." Seeing Zhou Zhu's actions, the old man was extremely suspicious of Zhou Zhu. He even knew that Zhou Zhu was lying to him, and his expression was very ugly.
The old man sneered: "Boy, let me see what shocking remarks you will make!"
The meaning of this shocking statement is completely different from the previous shocking remarks. At least the complimentary term mentioned before has now become a derogatory term.
