Chapter 481: Plum Art of War!

Views:

Hearing my uncle calling her, the little maid hurriedly ran in, and after a while, she walked out again inexplicably.

"Where is this art of war book?" Li Xuan looked at Li Yi and asked in amazement.

Speaking of classics and history, he may have some headaches, but the art of war, although he has not practiced it himself, has ample theoretical knowledge.

Back then, when he was studying with more than ten princes and general disciples, Old General Xue was the most strict with him, and he would be severely punished if he made a slight mistake. Although it is not said that he is familiar with all the military books in the world, it is not likely that there are so many that he has not even heard the names of.

Now that Li Xuan's curiosity has been aroused, it is impossible to uncover this matter. Li Yi sighed and said, "It's a long story..."

"Another year of bitter cold winter?" Li Xuan always felt that this routine was somewhat familiar, so he blurted out.

"No..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "It was a hot summer, hotter than this year. One day at noon..."

Li Xuan looked at him and asked: "Then that old man left you a few military books?"

"..."

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "If you don't believe me, I can change the story, or change the background to winter?"

Li Xuan nodded and said: "It's still winter. It's cold and snowy, and the old man collapsed in front of your house under hunger and cold. Later, in order to thank you for saving your life, I gave you such an important thing—so It’s easier to convince people.”

After the last two competitions, Li Xuan realized more deeply that Li Yi has read many, many books, so he always has so many strange ideas in his mind. Landing at the same time—even if he says he really understands the art of war, is it any surprise

Li Xuan looked at him again and said: "The first match of the martial arts test this time is the deduction of the battle array. The martial arts test is different from the literary test. We can't let those famous veterans end in person, so we have reached an agreement with Qi. Those who take the test need to be the younger generation. The second generation of generals has passed their thirties, so they don’t meet the requirements. The youngest generation is also about the same age as you and me. Few of them have been in battle..."

Li Yi seemed to understand something, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't it you who want to go?"

Li Xuan sighed, and said: "I don't want to, but General Xue said that if he wins the literary test, if he loses in the military test, there will be no place for the old faces of these old guys, saying that I am better than their family. The incompetent guy should be stronger."

"Are you sure it's useful to read these things?" Li Yi looked at him and asked: "Which general can see it from military books?"

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "This time there is no need to go to the battlefield. I think the Qi people are so confident that the opponent should not be easy. It's better to look at it than not to look at it."

Now that Li Xuan has said so, it is hard for Li Yi to refuse. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies" should be the second most famous military books in later generations. "Three Strategies" is only a little over 20,000 words, so write it down for him now, and let him go back and think about it slowly.

"Xiaohuan, come in and grind the ink!" Seeing Li Yi take out the pen and ink, Li Xuan hurriedly shouted out the door.

"Grind it yourself!" Li Yi glanced at him and said angrily.

This guy really doesn't see himself as an outsider anymore.

The little maid poked her head out of the door, and saw that His Royal Highness hadn't left yet, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

Uncle originally promised to teach her how to turn the flower rope in a while, but now I don't know when to wait...

"Soldiers, deceitful ways..., good!" Li Xuan already had a profound knowledge of the art of war, while grinding ink, while reading Li Yi's writing, when he saw something, he couldn't help but applaud.

But after a while, he frowned and said, ""Sun Tzu's Art of War", why is it called Sun Tzu's Art of War? Isn't this scolding yourself?"

He still thought that there was no heavy snow, and there was no old man who fainted at the door of Li Yi's house, and he was very puzzled that Li Yi named this book "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

"Then what do you think it should be called?" Li Yi asked casually.

In another world, the author of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is Sun Wu, the general of the Wu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is not clear whether there is such a person as Sun Wu in this world, but "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is definitely gone. In this way, the name is nothing Meaning, on the contrary, it will make people feel strange.

"I think..." Li Xuan looked at the content on the paper, pondered for a moment, then suddenly pointed to a certain place on the paper, and said, "This word is written wrong."

Li Yi looked at the place he was pointing at, and realized that he had written too hastily just now. He subconsciously wrote a simplified character, put a cross on it, and wrote the characters that are common in the world today.

Li Xuan nodded, and said, "Since it was done by the two of us, why not call it "Li Zi's Art of War"!"

Li Yi paused the pen in his hand, looked up at him with an incredulous expression, and asked, "Together?"

Li Xuan nodded, pointed to the place just now, and said, "I pointed out a typo for you."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that this was inappropriate, and after thinking about it, he said, "Of course your contribution is greater, and your name can be written in front..."

After Li Yi was stunned, he stood up from his chair.

"Finished?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.

"No." Li Yi shook his head, handed over the pen in his hand, and said, "Here's the pen, you write."

"Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

When teaching the little girl to turn the flower rope, Li Yi sighed leisurely, causing her to blink her big eyes and ask curiously.

"Be a good person. I don't know who I learned from. How can I become so shameless now?"

Li Yi was filled with emotions, thinking of how upright, how pure, how...

But now

Before long, I am afraid that the generals of Jingguo and His Majesty the Emperor will be able to see "Li Zi's Art of War", "Li Zi's Thirty-Six Strategies", "Li Zi's Six Secrets", "Li Zi's Three Strategies", "Li Zi's How to Do It" Eat", "One Hundred and Twenty-eight Ways of Stir-fried Chestnuts in Sugar", etc., a series of plum writing collections.

Thousands of years later, when people are studying the brilliant treasure of ancient military cultural heritage and an important part of excellent traditional culture - "Lizi Works Collection", they may also imagine that in July of the second year of Jinghe, the famous poet of Jingguo, Thinkers, educators, writers, playwrights, inventors, military strategists... who single-handedly promoted the "major event" that has been controversial for nearly a thousand years and kicked off a new era. He is known as the top ten people who have influenced the world throughout the ages, and he is most likely to be a time traveler. The one in the book, and another being who is equally famous through the ages, what kind of collision of ideas did the two great enlighteners have in order to write such a magnificent masterpiece that has been passed down for thousands of years

Of course, experts in this field will also discuss why there is a book "How to Make Plums" in "The Collection of Plums" and "One Hundred and Twenty-eight Ways of Stir-fried Chestnuts". Why not stir-fry plums with sugar, and the book does not really record 128 methods. Is this the negligence of the two, or is there something missing in the process of spreading the book to start a heated discussion...

"The flower rope is new, the square scarf is changed, the square scarf is broken, the thread pendant is changed, the thread pendant is messy..."

In the second year of Jinghe, in July, when the little girl, with silk threads wrapped around her fingers, went to find a few acquaintances to play this new game she had just learned, she would never have thought whether the "Flower Rope" was that kind of game. What was created by the maid of a great man's family will become a very controversial issue in the world after thousands of years...
