Chapter 8: With the right combination, with the odd victory, the prodigy is born, and the Cao family
One breath, two breaths, and a full ten breaths.
Cao Song and Cao Jie woke up from his surprised state. Cao Song was afraid that Cao Jie would be embarrassed, so he explained first. "Sir Cao, the child is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously..."
His words naturally refer to the fact that Cao Shu went to the Imperial Academy. Also, how could a six-year-old boy go to the Imperial Academy?
You should know that Cao Song sent nine-year-old Cao Cao to the Imperial College and had several times to do it... In the end, he stayed in the Imperial College for a year before successfully entering the Imperial College. But even this kindergarten has never had a precedent for a six-year-old child to enter school.
"Mr. Cao." Seeing Cao Jie silent, Cao Song added another sentence. "I only hope that three or four years later, my grandson will grow up and help you mediate when he was admitted to the Taixue Preschool College. I am so grateful."
Cao nodded. After all, he was a good seedling. He was as talented as his father Cao Cao, but he knew etiquette and rules. With great cultivation, he could not guarantee that he would be the pillar of the empire in the future... The most important thing is that he can use for me, unlike his father Cao Cao, who is a young man who can't tell the importance and stand in the team.
When he thought of this, Cao Jie planned to agree.
I never thought... Cao Shu's words came out immediately. "Didn't Grandpa Cao Jie agree? As long as I recite the "Sun Tzu's Art of War"? Will I make an exception and allow me to study in the Imperial Academy now? Why... I have to wait three or four years?"
Uh... I still say something that is not shocking.
"Shuoer..." Cao Song's forehead was covered with sweat. In the world, except for His Majesty, no one dared to talk to the eunuch Cao Jie like this. Is Shuoer... going to touch the tiger's beard? "You can't mess around." Cao Song blamed him repeatedly.
"Grandpa? Grandpa is not making any noise. This is what Grandpa Cao Jie promised Ruoer..."
Huh... Cao Song wanted to say something, but he found out that he was speechless. For the first time, he discovered... He didn't know this grandson, so how could Cao Ruo be timid? Not only was he not timid... There was a stubbornness like his father Cao Cao...
Silence...stern silence!
When we arrived at the time, the atmosphere of the whole old house became colder... Cao Jie's eyes kept turning, and his eyes kept glancing at Cao Shu...
For a long time, this atmosphere lasted for a long time...
Suddenly, "Hahahaha"... A sad laughter sounded, and Cao Jie put his hand on Cao Shuo's shoulder. "Shuo'er, have you really memorized all the ancient books in this room?"
"Grandpa Cao Jie can take the exam at will."
Cao Shu replied, standing straight and looking confident in his tone.
In fact, he could not memorize everything, but... the books he saw were all deliberately placed... they had memorized them in his previous life, and as for those rare ones, they had already hidden them.
Cao Jie looked around again... At first glance, he thought that it was a very nonsense for a six-year-old child to memorize all ancient books, but Cao Shu memorized it without saying a word of "The Art of War", which has many rare words and is extremely difficult to recite. He realized that perhaps a peerless prodigy in the Cao family had really appeared... with memory that shocked the past and the present, and was outstanding.
"Little guy..." Cao Jie no longer called him a child, but changed it to a little guy, and the relationship between words has been closer. "Ancient books are not only used for memorization, but also need to be understood, such as... Can you memorize this "The Art of War"? How many points can you understand?"
Cao Jie's eyes looked at Cao Shu quietly, with a little doubt on his cheek.
"Seven, eight cents!" Cao Shuo's little head shook, as if he was a disciple in a private school. "Some of the space can also be understood as nine cents..."
Uh... Cao Song almost didn't lift it up...
You...you...you? You? You? Just a grandson who is in his age of hanging buns dares to speak shamelessly... It can be understood that "The Art of War" is seven or eight minutes... and there is still a lot to understand nine minutes? nine? nine minutes!
Cao Song asked himself... Today, even the famous generals Huang Pusong, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi may not dare to boast about this, right?
...
Well...funny.
Cao Shu's confidence made Cao Jie even more curious about him... For a moment, he even really believed it.
After shook Shen'er, Cao Jie spread out the bamboo slips of "The Art of War" with both hands and swept it over again. He remembered that when Cao Teng taught him "The Art of War", he focused on one of the sentences that he analyzed...
Thinking of this, Cao Jie pointed to a paragraph on the bamboo slip and asked.
"Little guy, look at this sentence - so I used five things to proofread them, and asked them about their feelings: one is Tao, two is heaven, three is earth, four is general, and five is law."
"This paragraph tells the five dimensions of victory between the two armies, Tao, heaven, earth, general, law, here? How much can you understand?"
"Ninety percent." Cao Shu's childish voice came out again, and he was full of confidence. He immediately began to analyze: "Has Grandpa Cao Jie heard of the story of Duke Wen of Jin retreating?"
Um...retreat?retreat?
Cao nodded, a little surprised. Could it be that a six-year-old child... knows how to quote the scriptures? Thinking of this, he looked at Cao Song... Cao Song is now confused. His grandson Cao Shu's performance today has completely exceeded his cognition... Now he has to use the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period to explain in detail, and interpret it? Jin... the story of Duke Wen of Jin retreating?
The more I thought so in my heart, the more my eyes were staring at Cao Shu... At this time, I am looking forward to how he will discuss it?
At this moment, Cao Shu's childish voices followed one after another. "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin and Chu fought, and Duke Wen of Jin kept his promise. In order to repay the former kindness of Chu, he retreated ninety miles before the war, won the public support of other countries and received the sympathy of the world. This is the Tao in 'Tao Heaven, Earth, General, and Law'."
"Duke Wen of Jin retreated ninety miles away from his troops and reached Chengpu's position. He was very close to his own territory and far from the enemy's territory. In this way, his supply line was shortened, the enemy's supply line was lengthened, and he occupied the advantage of the terrain. This is the "earth" in "The Art of War" of Sun Tzu, "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law."
call out…
Cao Jie and Cao Song were stunned when they heard this... their eyes widened unconsciously, looking dumbfounded... Cao Shuo's explanation was enough to shock them... Who knew that Cao Shu hadn't finished speaking yet?
"Although the Chu State has more soldiers than the Jin State, the generals of Chu State are brave but not wise. On the contrary, the generals of Jin State are Xian Zhen, Hu Yan and others who are extremely wise and brave, with no plans... The Chu State only knows how to compare with Duke Wen of Jin's "with strange victory". Isn't this the "general" and "law" in the "Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law"?"
"besides…"
Cao Shu also wants to say... At the age of six, he is very knowledgeable and extremely clever when talking about reasoning? The key is that every sentence is convincing.
"Enough."
Cao Jie hurriedly reached out to interrupt... It's not that he didn't want to listen, he was afraid that he would continue to listen, so he was a little reluctant to take it...
"Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law" in "The Art of War" was a story of "Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law" in "The Art of War". Back then, my godfather Cao Teng told him carefully for a month, and Cao Jie was the first to see the path... Unexpectedly, in just half a cup of tea, a six-year-old child actually told the essence of "The Art of War" through the story of Duke Wen of Jin retreating... with both sound and emotion! The key is that the views discussed are true.
Shocked, shocked, shocked...
Even... he... the six-year-old Cao Shu... still knows how to "use the right combination? the strange victory?", and Cao Jie was shocked...
It seemed that in an instant... his understanding of a six-year-old child in his mind was completely subverted at this moment!
Of course, I was surprised and confused. It was not just Cao Jie who was confused, but Cao Song was also stunned.
In recent years, the Xianbei attacked the border, and he also wrote a volume of "On Defense" and won applause in the court... But it seems that compared to the interpretation of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, he actually felt... he felt a little ashamed.
Sure enough! Cao Shu's answer to the seven, eight, and ninety percent understanding of Sun Tzu's Art of War is definitely not a lie...
Oh my God? What kind of child prodigy did my son Cao Cao give birth to? The generation of the Cao family? Is it... going to prosper!
