711. The Soldier Who Is Subdued Without Fighting? Shit (Part 1)
A few days later, Jing Wen came to the teaching seminar room of the Tang Military Academy and saw about seventy or eighty students here. Although there were hundreds of people in the Tang Military Academy, it was impossible for everyone to come together. Now the only ones who could come here are the elites of the military academy. For example, those second-generation officials and third-generation officials, and some ordinary elites from poor families. They all came to find Jing Wen for bad luck this time. After all, Jing Wen bragged that this war argument is no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is probably a bit inappropriate. Therefore, they all wanted to argue Jing Wen's war argument to nothing. Of course, although they thought that this war argument was good, it did not mean that they could agree that he was no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Many times, the inherent thinking is very stubborn. Sun Tzu's Art of War is already the world's number one military strategy in everyone's heart, so it is naturally impossible to accept that a so-called newcomer's art of war can become a book that is no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War. This is like someone slandering the gods in their minds in front of a religious believer. This is simply unforgivable. So although Jing Wen is a sacrificial scholastic of the Tang Dynasty Military Academy, they cannot accept Jing Wen's statement that he speaks very loudly.
"Attend class!"
"stand up!"
"Hello, Lord Jiji!"
According to Jing Wen's regulations, before each class, students must first greet the teachers in the military academy. Although they came to Jing Wen this time to be unlucky, they could not violate this rule. Therefore, they all had to salute Jing Wen.
"Okay, what have you learned recently? You can ask me. I can try my best to help you answer. Do you have anything to ask?" Jing Wen asked.
Soon, the students raised their hands one after another, obviously wanting to give Jing Wen a bad luck. When Jing Wen saw Chai Jing and was here, he took the initiative to invite Chai Jing to get up, because after all, she was the only girl, so of course he had to take care of her more!
"Jijiu. I have written this war argument recently, right?" Chai Jing asked.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Jing Wen asked.
Chai Jing continued to ask: "Then the sacrificial wine, do you think this book is no less than Sun Tzu's Art of War?"
And Jing Wen can only say: "Sun Tzu's Art of War is the peak of strategy, and mine is the peak of strategy. Who do you think is higher?"
Jingwen means that the focus of these two is completely different, so it cannot be compared at all. Just like a person who writes a physics book and a person who writes a novel, can these two be compared vertically? Obviously, it is impossible for these two to be compared horizontally. Therefore, there is no meaning in comparison.
It was recognized later that Sun Tzu's Art of War focused on strategy, while the argument for war focused on combat, so there was actually no comparison between the two, and they both stood at the peak of two aspects. In fact, it was really wrong to compare them. There was no comparison between the two at all. They were both at the peak of their respective fields and could not be compared vertically. Jing Wen used this to tell everyone. He just compared this argument to a strategic peak, rather than comparing with Sun Tzu's Art of War to a strategic peak.
However, this is enough to make everyone talk. Because Jing Wen's words mean that the debate on war has reached the peak of a field, that is, the peak of strategy. Everyone cannot imagine for a while. What is the difference between strategy and strategy?
"Sacrificial wine, what is strategy? What is strategy?" Chai Jing asked.
Jing Wen immediately explained: "Strategy is the art of using various means to maximize the use of spiritual and material power to achieve the expected goals and effects. That is, the use of strategies to make soldiers and various weapons and equipment meet their expected ideas. For example, annihilation of the enemy, or capturing the city. Or, what Sun Tzu said about defeating others without fighting is the highest manifestation of strategy."
"War debate means more inclination to strategy. Strategy means to engage in actual combat. Strategy does not care about avoiding war as much as possible, but instead faces difficulties and defeats the enemy as much as possible. War debate means to win by defeating the enemy as much as possible, and to force the other party to surrender to their will. You can look at the introduction and the first article of the war, which has a profound explanation of the essence of war. If you still don't understand, you can ask me." Jing Wen said.
But Chai Jing immediately said, "Salute to wine, then do you say that yours is no less than Sun Tzu's art of war? Sun Tzu emphasizes the hope of defeating others without fighting, and Sun Tzu also said that the method of using troops is the best in the whole country, the second highest in defeating the country; the highest in the entire army, the second highest in defeating the army; the highest in defeating the brigade; the highest in defeating the soldiers; the highest in defeating the soldiers; the highest in the entire army, the next highest in defeating the army. Therefore, the victory of a hundred battles is not a good person; the right in defeating others without fighting is a good person."
Chai Jing began to drop the bag of books, but Jing Wen did not agree. The meaning of this sentence is that Sun Tzu mentioned that it is best to use the highest level of means to force the enemy to surrender. As a general, it is best to force the entire army to surrender. In other words, winning every battle is not the best, but the best way is to force the other party to surrender without fighting. This is the highest level of strategy, but Jing Wen really doesn't agree with this approach.
Many people in ancient China pursued this, but how many people could really do this? If they could really defeat others without fighting every time, then what kind of war would there be? Therefore, although Jing Wen agreed to defeat others without fighting, he, a later generation, did not agree with it. It was too difficult to defeat others without fighting, and it was almost impossible to do it. Didn’t Sun Tzu have to fight to defeat others after fighting? The number of conditions required to defeat others without fighting was not universal.
To use an online noun, it is too high and ordinary people really cannot do it. It is extremely stupid to pursue a soldier who will defeat others without fighting. A soldier who will defeat others without fighting can only be done in a small number of situations, that is, if you have an absolute advantage. It has to be said that Sun Tzu's words killed many people, and this sentence is not universal. Military books that do not have universality are destined to be high and low. Therefore, Jing Wen does not think that Sun Tzu's Art of War is suitable for everyone to read. It is this sentence that has put China in a dangerous situation of focusing on strategy over power.
"A soldier who defeats others without fighting? That's bullshit!" Jing Wen suddenly cursed.
