Chapter 5 Enterprise-level understanding of 'Sun Tzu's Art of War'
hiss…
A hint of doubt flashed in Cao Ren's eyes.
"You flipped through "The Art of War" so quickly, can you understand it?"
His tone was gentle and his eyes were faint, as if he was looking forward to Lu Yu's answer.
"Of course I can understand..." Lu Yu smiled.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" may be an obscure military textbook in this era, but before time travel, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was read by Lu Yu, the "most powerful brain", and at least eleven people have annotated it.
Cao Cao, the most famous;
In addition, there are Li Quan, the great strategic general of the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu, the great poet, and his prime minister grandfather Du You, etc... too numerous to mention.
Among them, Du Mu also criticized Cao Cao, saying that his annotations were inaccurate and misled his disciples!
I’ve seen so many versions of comments…
If we really talk about "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Lu Yu can be said to have an enterprise-level understanding. If we just talk about it on paper, no one in this era can match him.
Seeing Lu Yu so confident...
Cao Ren pointed to the first paragraph of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu and raised his voice: "The military is a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. It must be observed. Therefore, the classics are based on five things and the calculation is based on planning.
And to find out his feelings: the first is called Dao, the second is called Heaven, the third is called Earth, the fourth is called General, and the fifth is called Dharma."
"Can you explain the Tao, heaven, earth, generals, and laws mentioned in this paragraph?"
When Cao Ren studied "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, he learned the five dimensions of victory: Tao, heaven, earth, generals, and methods. Cao Ren studied for three months, and then under the explanation of his elder brother Cao Cao, he understood the general and vague concepts.
learn.
In his opinion, the Lu Yu in front of him neither had a good teacher like his elder brother Cao Cao, nor could he glance at him so quickly, so he couldn't understand the logic behind it!
"What about this?" Unexpectedly, Lu Yu blinked, thought for a moment, and then replied loudly. "Tao, heaven, earth, generals, and methods are the five dimensions of victory proposed in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu."
"If you want to analyze it in detail, you need to use actual cases to explain it. Has the general heard of the story of Duke Wen of Jin who retreated from home?"
Um...keep yourself away?
Cao Ren was startled, not because he was horrified that the young man in front of him wanted to quote scriptures, but because... in the past, when his elder brother Cao Cao was explaining to him, it seemed that... he also chose the story of Duke Wen of Jin who retreated away from home!
It's just that it was a long time ago, and Cao Ren's memory is not very good, so he can't remember clearly!
In short, Cao Ren gained a little more expectation and curiosity for Lu Yu.
"Please tell me in detail."
Cao Ren stretched out his hand to signal Lu Yu to continue speaking...
At this time, Lu Yu's voices came out one after another.
"Let's talk about 'Tao' first. In the story of 'Retreat,' Duke Wen of Jin kept his promise and took the initiative to retreat for ninety miles. He won the upper hand in morality and reputation, and won the support of public opinion in various countries. This is from the 'Tao'
win!"
"Let's talk about 'Heaven' and 'Earth'. Jin Wengong retreated to the position of 'Chengpu', which is close to his own country and far away from the enemy's country. Due to the climate and road, his country's supplies are continuous, while the enemy's supplies are stretched.
, In addition, the Jin army is more familiar with the terrain here, and the Chu army is more unfamiliar... Therefore, in terms of 'Heaven' and 'Earth', Jin Wengong is already in an invincible position!"
"As for the final 'generals' and 'fa', the generals sent by the Chu State were incompetent, while the generals under Jin Wengong were Xianzhen, Hu Yan, Zhao Shui and others who were both wise and courageous, and they were able to lead troops with great skills.
When making a judgment, the Chu army can only rely on righteousness, while the Jin army will often win by surprise... This is the essence of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu."
Speak eloquently, with reason and evidence, and the words are sonorous.
Lu Yu's words made Cao Ren and the lieutenants beside him shocked!
Unexplained shock!
Tao, heaven, earth, general, law.
Use the right combination to win the victory.
Can a fifteen-year-old young man understand this?
Even though he had been reading military books since he was a child, his experience was not enough for him to have such an awareness!
The most shocking person here is undoubtedly Cao Ren.
It's not that he was shocked by this young man's comprehensive understanding of "The Art of War". In fact, his analysis and the cases he cited made Cao Ren feel very familiar, but he couldn't tell whether he was right or wrong?
He must have heard the story about "Jin Wen Gong retreated to three houses" from his elder brother...
"Use the right combination, use the odd to win", it seems to have some impression.
However, it always feels a bit "unreal" when spoken by a teenager who is more than ten years old!
this…
"General Cao? Is he right?"
The lieutenants looked at Cao Ren expectantly.
Cao Ren shrugged... "I... I don't know!"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War"...Cao Ren learned only half a bottle of dissatisfaction and half a bottle of water. How dare he judge Lu Yu's analysis!
"This... I'm afraid only my eldest brother can judge!"
"Then...should we report it to Duke Ming Cao?" the deputy general suggested.
A fifteen-year-old talent emerged from the Qiao Pei military camp who could analyze "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Cao Cao issued an order to seek talents, which is not far away in the horizon and right before our eyes.
This thing is too big!
"My eldest brother is currently in Yanzhou to fight against the moth thieves. I'm afraid he won't be in the government office..." Cao Ren frowned.
However, something suddenly occurred to him. "You...immediately report to General Xiahou. If the genius is like this again, he will definitely be able to make an accurate judgment!"
Miaocai is Xia Houyuan's font size...
When Cao Cao gave instructions on "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, in addition to Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan was also present, and Xia Houyuan listened more carefully and remembered it more clearly.
Cao Ren thought of this and hurriedly ordered, "The talented person is nearby. You can go and invite him immediately..."
…
The sound of horse hooves resounded, and not long after, Xia Houyuan and a group of personal guards hurried over.
"Zixiao? Why are you calling me so urgently?"
"Stop talking so much..." Cao Ren pulled Xia Houyuan over and asked impatiently. "Come and analyze the five dimensions of victory mentioned by my elder brother when he taught us "The Art of War" in the past.
How do you understand heaven, earth, generals, and laws?"
"The Art of War"?
Upon hearing this, Xia Houyuan was stunned for a moment.
However, when he heard "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Dharma", Xia Houyuan suddenly recalled the content here, especially the five dimensions of victory. He was deeply impressed!
Seeing that Xia Houyuan was still stunned...Cao Ren urged hurriedly.
"Miaocai, stop being so pretentious and tell me now!"
"Zixiao, have you forgotten so quickly that when my eldest brother was analyzing "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, he specifically mentioned the story of 'Duke Wen of Jin retreated away'?"
Well…
As soon as this statement came out.
There was nothing on Cao Ren's side, but the expressions of all the lieutenants were condensed.
Duke Wen of Jin retreated... Isn't that what the fifteen-year-old Lu Yu just explained?
Before they could wake up from their surprise, Xia Houyuan spoke slowly, and his interpretation of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", heaven, earth, generals, and methods was exactly the same as what Lu Yu said.
Even... Xia Houyuan's talk is more general, while Lu Yu's analysis is more detailed and comprehensive!
Well…
this…
How did they know that what Lu Yu analyzed was Cao Cao's annotated translation of "The Art of War" compiled by later generations.
For a while…
Cao Ren and his lieutenants were both briefly stunned.
It seems that this young man is not reading a book from heaven. He can really understand "Sun Tzu's Art of War". So... most of the other military books he scanned at a glance can also be...
Thinking of this, the corners of Cao Ren's mouth raised slightly.
Found it, found it...
The smart, intelligent young man that Big Brother was looking for, the resourceful talent Cao Ying was looking for, didn't he find it now?
Moreover, this young man... doesn't need to bother to train, he can just use it!
etc…
Cao Ren suddenly thought of something.
This Lu Yu seems to be Cai Zhaoji's younger brother?
His surname is Lu...that means he is not a biological sibling!
So the question is, this fifteen-year-old young man? Who is he? Who are his parents?
