"Brother lost the first round just like that?”
As the commotion in the distance rang out, the young Sun Shangxiang could not help but widen her eyes.
"That's right, Second Brother. Did Big Brother lose just like that?”
Sun Yi and Sun Kuang, who were still young, also looked at Sun Quan and asked in disbelief.
As for the young Sun Quan, he was still frowning. Clearly, he was thinking about the three questions from before. When he heard the words of these people, he seemed to have woken up.
Then, he sighed and said,
"We lost!"
"The three questions just now are not written in books, especially the third question. Although the question is out of the book, there is no answer in Sun Tzu's Art of War!”
As he spoke, he looked at Baili Ming, who was standing opposite his brother, with a complicated expression.
"This mister isn't simple. Brother didn't lose unjustly!”
However, although he said this, those little fellows obviously did not care about the rest of the sentence.
The only thing they cared about was that their indomitable and omnipotent brother had actually lost?
When the young Xiangxiang Beila heard this and looked at Baili Ming again, she was already stomping her feet in anger.
This Mr. Bad actually dared to bully his brother.
He was really bad!
Of course, Sun Ce and Baili Ming, who were present, did not know what these little fellows were thinking.
Right now, Sun Ce only had one thought in his mind.
What were the answers to those three questions?
He frowned and thought for a while, then cupped his hands at Baili Ming and said,"
"I lost the first round. I wonder if you can tell me the answer?”
Hearing Sun Ce's words, the surrounding people also looked over.
Sun Ce wasn't the only one who wanted to ask this question. Even they wanted to ask this question. Obviously, these three questions had stumped not only Sun Ce but also many people present.
Facing everyone's gazes, Baili Ming nodded and said,"
"Since you are asking this sincerely, there is no reason for me not to answer.”
"Let's talk about the first question first. This question is similar to the chicken and rabbit in the same cage. It tests your ability to apply numbers to reality. As for the answer, it is 24,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry.”
"If you are familiar with arithmetic, this question is not difficult for you!”
"Learn!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he could not help but cup his hands again.
Although Baili Ming had used some tricks, there was nothing wrong with it.
He had lost this question unjustly!
"As for the second question, it will test your familiarity with the past military sages!”
Seeing Sun Ce's cupped hands, Baili Ming spoke again,"
"The Four Forces of the Military School are also known as the Four Sects of the Military School. They are the four major sects of the art of using troops. In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. You only need to carefully analyze my problem and you will be able to distinguish the difference between the fourth and the three sects.”
"Since it's military skills, it's 'practice the hands and feet, use the weapons, and accumulate mechanisms to benefit the victor in offense and defense'. The representative of this school is mainly the Mohist school.”
At this point, he looked at Sun Ce and said,"
"At your age, as long as you learn one or two factions, you will feel that you know everything about military affairs in the world and become arrogant.”
"Don't you know that the militarists are ever-changing? How can the four sects be included?”
"If you go to the battlefield in the future and encounter an opponent who doesn't play by the rules, you will understand this principle!”
"However, as a general, one general's achievements will make ten thousand bones wither. By the time you understand this, I'm afraid you've already caused the deaths of countless comrades.”
"At that time, even if you become a famous general, so what?”
"I hope that after this question, you can go down and study the art of war of the various sects. You will definitely improve in the future!”
As he spoke, his words changed from solving problems to teaching.
Outsiders looked on with a strange expression. Didn't they say that they were going to compete?
Why did it become teaching?
However, when they looked at Sun Ce, they realized that he no longer had the arrogance he had before. At this moment, he was like a student listening attentively.
When Baili Ming finished speaking, he cupped his hands again and said,
"Thank you first…Teach me!"
However, just as he was about to blurt out the word 'new', he hurriedly changed his words and almost bit his tongue. The scene could not help but become a little awkward.
When everyone saw this, they almost laughed out loud.
They hadn't even finished the competition yet, so why couldn't he stop himself from calling him mister?
When Baili Ming saw this, he couldn't help but smile and say,
"As for the third question, it's actually just a sentence. When the road is narrow, the brave will win.”
"If two sides are evenly matched, the only key to determining is who is more fearless of life and death!”
"If we can have an army that is willing to fight and not afraid of death, even if the general is not around, the weather is not good, the army is not paid enough, the army is not strong enough, and there are punishments but no rewards, we can still win!
"This…"
Hearing this, Sun Ce's expression froze.
If he could understand the answers to the first two questions, then the answer to the third question was a little fantastical.
When he heard the last sentence, he asked with a puzzled expression,
"Does such an army really exist?”
"Of course it exists!"
Baili Ming nodded firmly.
However, there was something he did not say. Unfortunately, it only existed more than a thousand years later!
And it wasn't just one, there were countless of them!
However, just his affirmation was enough to make Sun Ce confused.
In his confusion, Sun Ce hurriedly asked,"
"Then how can we train such an army?”
When he asked this question, even Sun Jian and the other generals pricked up their ears.
Although they were in a competition now.
However, if the military counselor could say something new at this time, he had to listen!
They were also curious about how they could train the kind of army that the military counselor had mentioned!
However, in response to everyone's curiosity, Baili Ming could only shake his head and smile."
"Such an army can't be trained!”
"You still need faith. Here!"
He pointed at his chest and said,"
"The only thing that can make people not fear death is that there is something here that they want to protect.”
"Only people will risk their lives for these things!”
"As the saying goes, a just cause has much support, while an unjust cause has little support.”
"If one day your Dao can be the same as everyone else, then your army will be invincible!”
"On the contrary, if you insist on going your own way and betray everyone, then no matter how strong you are and how powerful your military is, you will only become weaker and weaker as you fight.”
"The rise and fall of a country is like this!"
After saying that, he looked at Sun Ce and said,"
"Do you understand now?"
As he asked this question, he smiled slightly and looked at this possible next emperor with a deep meaning.
Sun Ce was slightly stunned when he saw this gaze that struck his soul. After a moment of daze, he cupped his hands solemnly and said,
"Thank you for your teachings, sir. I understand!”
At this moment, he no longer concealed himself and solemnly called out the two words 'Sensei.'
When the surrounding people heard this, they were shocked at first, but then they smiled as if it was a matter of course.
Looking at Sun Ce, he didn't feel embarrassed.
After all, apart from a few of them, the rest of them had been conquered by Baili Ming's talent bit by bit!
Sun Ce didn't know before, but now that he knew he was wrong and could change, it was naturally a good thing.
Sun Jian looked at his son's repentance and could not help but feel gratified.
"Looks like Ruo Zhong still has a way!”
He looked at Sun Ce and then at Baili Ming. He thought to himself, No wonder the military counselor asked Sun Ce to follow him for three years. It turns out that he wanted to help him teach Sun Ce!
He really put in a lot of effort!
With this thought in mind, Sun Jian could not help but walk forward slowly and say with a smile,"
"Ce 'er, since you've already addressed me as Mister, then stop competing, quickly apologize to Mister!”
Everyone looked on with smiles on their faces. Everyone was happy. This was good.
However, just as everyone thought that Sun Ce would admit his mistake, Sun Ce shook his head and said,
"No!"
With a solemn expression, he cupped his hands at Baili Ming and said,"
"Mister Bai Li, based on the teachings just now, I should call you Mister.”
"However, since it's a competition, it's a competition. We can't let this matter pass.”
"I lost just now. It's my turn to set the questions!”
Hearing this, the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Sun Jian's footsteps also paused. Then, he glared at them and said,
"Unfilial son, unfilial son!"
"What else do you want?!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he cupped his hands at Sun Jian and said,"
"Father, don't worry. I won't do anything. I just want to continue competing with you!”
After saying that, he looked at Baili Ming with a serious expression and said,
"What do you think, sir?”
Looking at the battle intent in little tyrant's eyes, Baili Ming immediately shook his head and chuckled,
"Of course!"
He knew that Sun Ce was convinced now, but he had lost. He was probably a little uneasy and wanted to get back at him.
Logically speaking, if it was a senior with the demeanor of an expert, he would most likely hold back and give him face.
However, he was not one of those people!
Since the little tyrant wanted to continue looking for abuse, of course he could!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said,"
"What do you want to compete in?"
When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately revealed a confident expression and said,"
"Archery!"
"Archery?"
When they heard that Sun Ce was going to compete in the second round, everyone's expressions turned cold.
Good heavens, they really wanted to compete in archery and horse racing!
The military counselor was a civil official, wasn't this bullying?
When the few little fellows in the distance heard this, they immediately cheered.
Comparing archery was his brother's forte!
This time, the other party would lose once!
However, while they were happy, their father Sun Jian was not.
"Ce 'er! You know that the military counselor won't go to the battlefield!"
"What are you up to?!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he turned his head and said,"
"This matter has nothing to do with father. It's a bet between you and me. Since you have set the rules, I will abide by them!”
Then, he looked at Baili Ming and said in a deep voice,"
"Sir, this archery technique is also one of the Six Arts of a Gentleman. Logically speaking, you should know it.”
As he spoke, he added an explanation,
"Of course, if Mister doesn't agree, then I will win this round and Mister will set the question!”
Obviously, his thoughts were the same as Baili Ming's-to get back at him!
However, Baili Ming, who had already made up his mind, would not give him the chance. He nodded on the spot and said,"
"Sure. Tell me, how do you want to compete?”
"No, Sir, do you really want to compete?"
Sun Ce was surprised to hear Baili Ming agree.
"Of course!"
Baili Ming replied again,
"How are you going to compete?"
"Alright then!"
When Sun Ce heard this, he looked at Baili Ming with even more respect and said,
"This is the drill ground. There are a few targets in the distance under my stand. How about this? Let's shoot three arrows separately. Whoever can shoot closer to the bullseye wins.”
Hearing Sun Ce's explanation, everyone hurriedly looked into the distance.
At a glance, he saw that there were indeed a few targets in the distance, but they were all 1500 steps away!
Everyone was practicing archery, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
This standard was a little too much!
The maximum range of an ordinary bow and arrow was only 300 steps, and it had to be shot!
And this 150 steps was almost the limit of a straight line shooting range.
If he didn't have archery skills, this wouldn't do!
For a moment, everyone secretly thought that this kid was a little shameless.
After Sun Ce finished speaking, his face turned a little hot. He just looked at Baili Ming quietly, hoping that he would back off.
However, when he looked over, he saw that Baili Ming was not moving at all. He only said indifferently,
"But even so, you can start!”
Still want to compete?
When everyone heard this, they were surprised.
When Sun Ce heard this, he could only grit his teeth and say,
"Forget it, then Ce will embarrass himself!"
As he spoke, he turned around and said to a personal guard,
"Go get my Precious Condor Bow!"
"Yes!"
The guard complied and returned with a longbow.
When everyone saw this, they were secretly shocked again.
This bow was probably worth three piculs, and only those who were familiar with it could use it!
As they watched, Sun Ce picked up his bow and said to Baili Ming,"
"Sir, watch carefully!"
As he spoke, he held his breath and drew his bow.
The bowstring was released, and the arrow shot out in an instant, hitting the target in the distance.
When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they could not help but cheer.
When Zhao Yun saw this, she couldn't help but shout,"
"Good archery!"
Hearing these voices, Sun Ce's expression did not change. Instead, he continued to hold his breath, his attitude extremely serious.
Then, with two more swooshing sounds, the two arrows hit the target again.
When Sun Jian saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"This kid's archery skills have improved again. I'm afraid Ruo Zhong is in danger!”
As he spoke, he hurriedly ordered people to take a look at the target. Following that, a few soldiers hurriedly walked out and not long after, they brought over a target.
Looking at the long arrows on the target, he saw that out of the three arrows, two were slightly off, and only one hit the bullseye.
Seeing this, everyone exclaimed again. When they looked at Sun Ce again, there was a strange look in their eyes.
This little fellow was not old, but his archery skills were really not bad!
"Good boy!"
Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce again, his serious eyes carrying a trace of love and gratification.
Hearing his father's words, Sun Ce rubbed his head and smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Good archery!"
However, just as the father and son were having a moment of warmth, cheers suddenly rang out around the drill ground.
Sun Jian, his son, and the other generals were all shocked and hurriedly looked up.
However, it would have been better if he did not look. When he did, he saw that Baili Ming had already picked up Sun Ce's precious carved bow.
He had already shot two arrows just now, and now he was shooting the last arrow!
Whoosh!
With a gust of wind, the arrow had already escaped from his hand. Following that, another arrow appeared on the target in the distance.
When everyone saw this, they were instantly stunned.
The military counselor was really shooting, and he hit the target?
How was this possible?
Sun Jian and Sun Ce were also shocked.
He didn't expect the weak and gentle Baili Ming to have such a heaven-defying skill.
Sun Jian immediately stood up and said,"
"Quick, come and get the target!"
"Yes!"
When a rider heard this, he hurriedly galloped away.
However, before the knight could walk far, Baili Ming had already walked down the stage slowly and said with a smile,"
"There's no need to look!"
"I'm tired today. My Lord, everyone, Ming will take his leave first!”
He bowed to them under everyone's puzzled gazes and walked out of the field by himself. However, before he walked far, another warning floated over,
"Oh right, Bo Fu, go back and copy the 'Analects of Confucius' today. Tomorrow, bring it to my residence to report!”
As he spoke, his figure had already disappeared into the distance.
Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned.
What was going on?
Only Sun Ce's expression changed. When the knight returned, he snatched the target.
After taking a look, his face was extremely pale.
Everyone looked at the target in Sun Ce's appearance and was shocked.
All three arrows hit the bullseye?
Advisor Jun, do you have to be so showy!
