"Jijiu, are you questioning your grandson?" "Jijiu, are you criticizing your grandson's military strategy?" "Jijiu, are you insulting your military saint?" "Jijiu..."

A lot of doubts appeared one after another. Obviously, he was very indignant about Jing Wen's words of questioning without fighting and defeating others. This sentence can be said to be a famous saying, and countless military strategists regarded it as a classic. But now Jing Wen is obviously disdainful of this sentence, which makes everyone very indignant. Therefore, many people are now cursing, obviously very angry.

"Silent and quiet!" Zhao Dongyang, the Si Ye of the Tang Military Academy, shouted.

Everyone finally calmed down and waited for Jing Wen's statement.

"I just want to ask you a question, remember, I'm just a metaphor, just a metaphor! If Goguryeo now asked our Tang Dynasty to surrender and merge the country into Goguryeo, would you say I would agree to the Tang Dynasty? Or, Tuyuhun asked us surrender and merged into Tuyuhun, would you say we could agree to the Tang Dynasty?" Jing Wen asked.

"How is this possible?" "Nonsense!" "If they dare to do this, we will beat them to death!" "Beat him!"...

It feels ridiculous when I heard this metaphor of Jing Wen. How could Tuyuhun and Goguryeo compare with the Tang Dynasty? These two countries, Tuyuhun is already half-crippled, and Goguryeo is now beaten to vomit blood by Emperor Yang of Sui. Not to mention Goguryeo now, even when Goguryeo was at its peak, it would be impossible for a unified Central Plains dynasty to surrender and merge into them. This is simply ridiculous and impossible.

"I'll let you think from the perspective of others. If you were the commanders of Goguryeo or Tuyuhun, you would have to find a way to attack our Tang Dynasty and strive to give troops who will defeat others without fighting. Can you do it?" Jing Wen asked.

"Nonsense, even the Grandson of the Soldier Saint can't do it!" someone answered immediately.

And Jing Wen immediately asked: "What do you understand?"

Everyone was silent because they understood Jing Wen's words. These people were not idiots. Of course, they understood Jing Wen's meaning, that is, a soldier who would surrender without fighting should be supported by strength. If you don't have strength, how can you make the enemy afraid of you and surrender? So, everything is the reason for strength. If you don't have strength, how can you make the enemy surrender? Tuyuhun and Goguryeo obviously did not have the conditions to surrender without fighting. If you change the scene, if you don't have enough strength, how can you surrender without fighting?

"But, haven't the Western Turks taken the initiative to ask for support? Isn't this just a soldier who won over without fighting?" Chai Jing asked.

But Jing Wen said: "Did the Western Turks defeat the enemy's soldiers because we did not fight? No, but we fought. We defeated the Eastern Turks, so the Western Turks were frightened, so they took the initiative to ask for the enemy. If we did not defeat the Eastern Turks, who could make the Western Turks possess just by relying on their mouths? Who can do it? So, after all, the military force that defeated the enemy without fighting must be supported by strength."

"But how do you prove your strength? Isn't you going to fight? If you haven't fought, how do you prove that your combat power is strong? Is it possible that just compares the number of people? I'm afraid. Even if you use millions of refugees as an army, the combat power of these mobs is not as good as that of ten thousand elite soldiers. So, how do you prove that your strength is enough to destroy the opponent at any time? So after all, you still have to fight. If you haven't fought, then you can't be able to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. This sentence is based on killing other "chicken" and then scaring the monkey. They will defeat the enemy without fighting. Therefore, there is no absolute soldier in this world that defeats others without fighting. If you want to defeat the enemy without passing any battle, it is obviously impossible. After all, most people in this world do not cry without seeing the coffin. Can you convince the other party with your mouth?"

Jing Wen went through a pure fact that it was not a fight without fighting. In fact, it was a battle to prove his strength and then let the enemy surrender. Therefore, any idea of ​​letting the enemy surrender without fighting is ridiculous. Fighting requires fighting, the difference is just to fight, or to prove your strength through some small fights, and then force the other party to surrender. Therefore, a pure battle without fighting does not exist at all.

"But an excellent strategy can afford hundreds of thousands of troops! Didn't the Western Jin Dynasty defeat Fu Jian's million troops through 80,000 troops and preserve the Han family's clothes? Didn't the Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period also rely on a good strategy to defeat Cao Cao and then the Three Kingdoms can be united? Therefore, a good strategy can be able to surpass countless troops!" Chai Jing said again.

Everyone also expressed their ideas of recognition, because often a strategy could allow one to defeat a very powerful enemy. The two examples given by Chai Jing were all through good strategies and then defeating the more with less so that they could realize their ideas. History also praised these generals and strategists who could use strange strategies. Obviously, many people believed that these victories were achieved through these strange strategies, so many people pursued and praised those who could make strange strategies.

There are even many so-called literati who are keen on giving out some wonderful strategies to those generals. There are still many of these ideas until the late Qing Dynasty in later generations. And literati were keen on commanding the army and then relying on their own strategies to defeat the enemy, so that they can become generals and ministers. Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, now the current literati were once an important military strategist of Li Shimin, and now they have become the prime minister in charge of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, many literati are also very enthusiastic about being military strategists.

Some even claim to be familiar with military books, but they just become strategists. However, as a student in the staff system, Chai Jing naturally believes that strategy is important and even regards strategy as the most important core in the war. However, Jing Wen couldn't help but sigh at Chai Jing's idea of ​​focusing on strategy over power. This may be a tradition in China since ancient times, or it may be that Sun Tzu's Art of War too high, and everyone misinterpreted Sun Tzu's Art of War, which caused the consequence of focusing on strategy over power.
