As a book of war, it did not encourage war. This was the first peculiarity of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
" Military affairs are a major matter of the country. It is a matter of life and death. It is a matter of life and death. We cannot ignore it."
This was the first sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Warn the monarch and generals that war is very dangerous, and it is easy to lose soldiers and hurt the people.
Professor Li was shocked when he saw this.
He didn't even need to read it to know that this art of war was definitely extraordinary.
This was because the realm of the person who wrote this art of war had already reached an unimaginable level.
Professor Li continued reading with respect.
And the content behind it did not disappoint him.
In the content of the first chapter, besides talking about being cautious in battle, it also said to fight less.
As a form of violence, no matter how smooth the operation was, it would consume wealth and harm the people.
No matter how good the army was at fighting, even if they won every battle, if they fought too many battles at will, the country's strength would decline rapidly. When the people were dissatisfied, the rule would be in danger.
Therefore, they had to be cautious and fight less, and could not blindly mess around. If there was no reason to fight and they were confident of winning, they would not fight. It was better to wait.
If war was unavoidable, then there was another option, a quick battle.
As the saying goes,"victory is more important than longevity". War is the greatest drain on a country's strength. Even if a 100,000-strong army does not move, just maintaining it will cost a thousand gold per day. The longer the war drags on, the greater the losses.
The purpose of a country's war was to gain benefits, but if it was prolonged, it was easy to cause losses to outweigh the benefits of victory. The gains would not make up for the losses. Therefore, if a country wanted to fight a war, it must win quickly.
Although this was only part of the first chapter of the art of war, it was enough to shock Professor Li.
He already knew about Li Jin Nian. He was just a student at an ordinary university.
However, the ability and talent he displayed was something that Professor Li felt that he could not find a single student who could compare to him.
"It's unbelievable that such a genius, such a genius, is actually just a student of an ordinary university.”
"It seems that our country's exam-oriented education is really a big problem. A talent like contestant Li shouldn't be buried.”
Professor Li thought to himself.
He had already decided that he would have to talk to the relevant leaders of the Education Department after this.
The education reform in China was already imperative.
Otherwise, there would be more and more outstanding talents like Li Jin Nian who would be buried by the exam-oriented education in the future.
Although Sun Tzu's Art of War was only 6,000 words long, after translation, it was several times longer.
For ordinary people, translating ancient texts was quite difficult, but Li Shuhe was a famous historical researcher. He could translate ancient texts with just a glance.
"It's a little long. I'll translate it later.”
"Let me summarize it for everyone first."
Professor Li stopped typing and looked up at the camera.
"Alright."
"Professor Li, you've worked hard. You can take your time translating.”
The audience commented in the bullet screen.
After all, Professor Li was not young anymore, and no one was willing to let him work too hard.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War is divided into 13 chapters: strategy, combat, strategy, military formation, military momentum, actual situation, military struggle, nine changes, marching, terrain, nine places, fire attack, and use.”
"The first three chapters, strategy, and strategy, talk about preparations for war, including why to fight, whether to fight, how big to fight, and how to fight.”
"The next four chapters will talk about the military situation, the military situation, the actual situation, and the military struggle. They will talk about the work in the battle, including the construction of the army, the transportation of grain and fodder, the preparation for the enemy, the command of the troops, and so on.”
"The next four chapters are Nine Changes, March, Terrain, and Nine Places. They talk about the elements of combat, including marching, camping, and adapting.”
"The last two chapters, Fire Attack and Use, talk about two special combat methods as supplements to victory.”
Professor Li gave a brief summary of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Of course, he also knew that ordinary audiences might not be able to understand the profound significance of this military strategy.
"This art of war is not simple."
Lieutenant General Liu Hua also expressed his opinion.
As a famous military strategist, no one had more say than him in this matter.
"The art of war written by contestant Li has actually gone beyond the scope of strategy. I personally think that this is a masterpiece of war philosophy.”
Lieutenant General Liu Hua continued.
"I have a very deep feeling after hearing what Professor Li said just now.”
"This military art says that the process of the actual battle is actually the least important. This was because when a 'good fighter' was commanding, the outcome of the battle would already be decided before they encountered the enemy army and soldiers.”
"Seeing this point of view, I feel enlightened.”
"For example, military discipline, how to reward and punish clearly, how to ensure fairness, how to make the soldiers unite as one? For example, how could they arrive at the critical point in the fastest and most energy-saving way and wait for fatigue?”
"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Once I've done all of this, when I come into contact with the enemy, and the enemy's morale, stamina, and fighting spirit are inferior to mine, victory and defeat will naturally be decided.”
"That's why the actual battle process is the least important.”
Lieutenant General Liu Hua used a more common method to explain the most powerful part of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Even if the audience knew nothing about military affairs, they could understand what Li Jin Nian wanted to say.
"It is no exaggeration to say that none of the existing military strategies can be compared to this one written by contestant Li.”
Professor Li smiled and said calmly.
After saying that, he didn't forget to interact with Lieutenant General Liu Hua."I wonder if General Liu agrees with my point of view.”
"It's hard not to agree."
Lieutenant General Liu Hua nodded seriously.
"I feel that this art of war can be called a sacred book of military studies.”
"When Contestant Li returns, I want to get his permission to promote this book in the entire army and give it to everyone.”
"Whoosh."
When they saw this, the audience was extremely shocked.
They might not be able to understand how awesome Sun Tzu's Art of War was from the content.
However, Lieutenant General Liu Hua and Professor Li were both leading figures in this field. They both gave such high praise to this military strategy.
It could be seen that this art of war was really extraordinary.
"God Li is awesome. Even the art of war he casually wrote is a sacred book of military science. I announce that from today onwards, God Li is my idol.”
"Pah, can you not use the word idol to tarnish God Li?”
At this moment, the netizens 'admiration for Li Jin Nian had already reached a point where it was like a surging river that was endless. It was also like the flooding of the Yellow River. It was uncontrollable.
As for the netizens from the Bang Nation and the Cherry Blossom Nation, they were so jealous that they couldn't even speak when they saw this.
"God Li is our country's lucky star. With such a national player, we just have to ask how we lost!”
The netizens from China would say whatever the netizens from Bang Nation and Sakura Nation were most afraid of.
In short, it was to beat the dog when it was down.
The netizens from these two countries hated Li Jin Nian so much that they gritted their teeth.
A broadcast suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Hearing this familiar voice.
The Xia people couldn't help but tremble. All of them raised their heads and puffed out their chests in unison, their faces filled with pride.
It's coming, it's coming!
The reward of the national fortune,
It's here again!
