Ever since we started to acknowledge Zuo Ci as our master, we began to cultivate under his guidance. Zuo Ci made it a rule to have martial arts classes in the day and cultural classes at night. I also set a schedule for the three of us. They would run cross-country in the morning, practice martial arts in the morning, rest in the afternoon, practice martial arts in the afternoon, and learn from Zuo Ci at night.
The content of the study at night was basically to study the art of war. Of course, he also studied various works to increase his knowledge. The main books he studied were Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, and Tai Gong's Art of War. His main literary works were The Analects of Confucius, Han Feizi, and The Warring States Strategy. The main historical anthologies are Records of the Historian, Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, and Spring and Autumn Annals.
It seemed that our lives were extremely boring, especially Xia Hou-he was punished to stand, write, and do hard labor at every turn. This kid's face had turned sour. This was the result of his own actions, who asked him to offend Old Zuo previously. I thought to myself," Little brat, this is still considered a light punishment. If it were now, you would have to be isolated by the teachers. They would teach you a lesson at every turn, and your parents would have to go to school to receive education at every turn."”
Tonight, we will begin to study the contents of Sun Tzu's Art of War. "Sun Tzu once said,'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated in a hundred battles.' This is really a famous quote from the ancient militarists. Yuan Rang, what do you mean?"
"Well, it's very simple. This 'know yourself and know your enemy' meant that even if you knew him, you would also know him. This 'undefeated in a hundred battles' meant that you would not be mistaken in battle. Master, the word 'I' is more reasonable here.”"Xiahou, you little bastard, stand at the door.”Zuo Ci was shocked and thought that this person was simply a genius. He was so angry that he even learned how to curse.
"Miao Cai, tell me." "Master, is it like this? Let's say that war is a lethal weapon. When preparing for battle, we must first understand the strength of both sides and make a good comparison before we can engage in battle. Master, right?" "Mm…Yuan Rang, you heard it. You should learn from Miao Cai, otherwise, he will surpass you.”Xia Hou lowered his head and looked like he was being bullied. Under Zuo Ci's tyrannical power, he no longer had the courage to fight back. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan said to Zuo Ci,"Master, since war is a lethal weapon, why do we still have to learn it and carry out this war?”"Miao Cai, good question. Sun Tzu had already done research on this problem. In fact, war was like treating a disease. When a person was terminally ill, he had to take medicine to treat all aspects of the disease. Sometimes, it was even very painful. But only in this way can we get better again! As the saying goes,'no destruction, no rebuilding'."
I stepped forward and said,"Yes, the great affairs of the country, the land of life and death, and the way of survival are all tied to this." Therefore, war should be very important. Its fierceness did not mean that it was bad, but it was precisely good people who could control the war and win every battle. This was the so-called invincible benevolence. However, if a general succeeded, ten thousand bones would wither. So many people would die. Therefore, war was used as a last resort. If one wanted to use it, one had to win. Although victory would require the sacrifice of many people, it was precisely the departure of these people that would establish a bright future!”
"Meng De, having such knowledge is really a blessing to the world!”Zuo Ci praised.
"Meng De, how do you think this new universe should be built?”Zuo Ci seized the opportunity to ask.
"This world belongs to the people of the world. The people are the most important, the country is second, and the monarch is the least important. Only by mobilizing all the people in the world to join in the construction of this country could the world be stable. Whether it was the monarch, the subjects, or the people, they had to do their best for the country. Only then would the country become strong. I also have my own views on the way the various philosophers govern the country. I think Confucianism is too weak, Legalism is too tough, Taoism is too irresponsible, and Mohism is too idealistic. For the sake of the world, only by learning from others could the world be stable and the country strong!”
"Meng De, your knowledge is indeed extraordinary. In this world, only Meng De can achieve great things.”"Teacher, you flatter me."
In the past few days, our martial arts have grown rapidly. Xiahou Yuan's kung fu was already the best among his age group. With Zuo Ci's preference for his kung fu, he would definitely become famous in the world. Archery was especially godly. Xia Hou vented all his frustrations in class when he practiced martial arts. When he practiced martial arts, it was as if he was risking his life. However, his improvement was obvious. My Snake Slaying Sword Technique also improved rapidly under Zuo Ci's guidance. And I've finally mastered the 'Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix' martial arts, and my spear arts have reached the peak.
Just like that, the three of us stayed at Zuo Ci's place and practiced martial arts diligently. The three of them cultivated painstakingly and reaped great rewards.
