Chapter 434: Sun Tzu is Still Amazing
Outside the Grand Literature Academy, within the luxurious carriage, the Crown Prince exclaimed, “The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board?”
“Young Master, what is this used for?” inquired someone.
The Crown Prince explained, “In the path of military strategy, practical experience in warfare is crucial. However, leading soldiers in battle is not child’s play. Allowing beginners to strategize in the military tent is no different from sending soldiers to their deaths.”
“The Saint of Literature, in his wisdom, devised a Literature Treasure that simulates the engagement of two armies—The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board.”
“By infusing Literature Qi into it and projecting one’s understanding of military strategy onto the board, the etherealized two armies will engage in battle.”
“Ultimately, the winner is determined based on whose military strategy is superior.”
Pausing for a moment, the Crown Prince continued, “General Liu Tianluo of the Divine Marquis Army has also used this board. He has competed against many experts in military strategy from the National Academy and has never suffered defeat, earning him the title of the Military god in The Great Qian.”
This competition values understanding of military strategy more than anything else. It is not something one can win by mere theoretical knowledge.
As for Tang Fei, he is the son of Tang Hongyun, the minister of the Ministry of War, and he has studied under Master Mo Siye. He has been well-versed in military strategy since childhood and has even witnessed the scenes of two armies clashing.”
On the Heavenly Heart Platform , Tang Fei, full of confidence, also explained the usage of The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board, with his account closely resembling the Crown Prince’s.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at the large martial arts board in front of him, and asked, “As long as you infuse it with Literature Qi and understand the military strategy?”
“Yes, and then determining the ultimate outcome of the two armies’ engagement to judge whose military strategy is superior.”
“If Brother Qin hasn’t seen this before, I can demonstrate it first.” Tang Fei said, closing his eyes.
In just a moment, the onlookers heard the sounds of clashing swords and drums, and the air was filled with the aura of war. They hurriedly looked in the direction of the large chessboard, where a majestic army manifested, fighting fiercely and vividly!
Even the nearby common people were frightened by the imposing scene and stumbled backward.
Seeing this, Qin Feng furrowed his brow.
In Duke Liu’s residence, Grandfather Liu was also watching the battle. Witnessing this scene, he asked, “I remember you have also competed with a group of old fellows from the National Academy using this thing. How does it feel?”
Liu Tianluo pondered for a moment and replied, “It is quite similar to real combat, but it is ultimately a simulation of theoretical knowledge.”
“In actual warfare, the battlefield changes in an instant, relying on the right timing, geographical advantage, and people’s harmony. How can a literary treasure simulate all of that?”
“However, this thing can indeed measure a person’s familiarity with military books and their proficiency in military strategy.”
In other words, The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board evaluates who has read more military books and has a deeper understanding of military strategy!
“This time, do you think he can still win?” Grandfather Liu asked.
“I hope he can, but it’s difficult.” Liu Tianluo shook his head.
In the imperial palace, the Emperor was also observing the academic dispute through a magical mirror.
To be honest, Qin Feng’s previous performance far exceeded his expectations.
In the study room, his hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
Eunuch Li expressed concern, “I have heard of Tang Fei’s name. It seems that the young master of the Qin family may lose this time.”
The Emperor nodded without saying much, silently watching the scene in the mirror.
“Brother Qin, please,” Tang Fei smiled, extending his hand.
To be honest, this time Qin Feng really didn’t have much confidence.
To be honest, Qin Feng was really not sure this time. Although he has a deep memory of the “Art of War” and “Thirty-Six Strategies” and other military books in his previous life after becoming a Literature Saint. However, The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board was too intimidating, and he was unsure if he could win with that knowledge.
But since it had come to this point, Qin Feng had no other choice.
He closed his eyes and infused the Literature Qi into the The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board. The military books and understanding of the art of war that he had learned were also mapped onto the The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board.
At this moment, the situation changed!
No, more accurately, the virtual sky above The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board changed!
Qin Feng’s army evolved, unlike Tang Fei’s side, which cheered with waving flags and drumming. Instead, it was neatly arranged in rows and columns.
However, this deathly silence gave the onlookers a suffocating feeling.
This was an invincible force, and everyone inexplicably had this thought!
Tang Fei, seeing the army evolved by Qin Feng, felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. The smile on his face slowly faded, and an unbeatable illusion lingered in his mind.
Suddenly, with a thunderbolt on the The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board, the two armies began to fight.
The scene was truly like a real war, with blades cutting through and constant fighting.
As time passed, everyone could see that Tang Fei’s evolved army was struggling.
In the end, Qin Feng’s army, with an unstoppable force, completely annihilated Tang Fei’s army!
And Qin Feng’s army had less than thirty percent casualties!
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng sighed with relief, ‘Sun Tzu is still amazing, huh? Why does this sound like an insult?’
This result was beyond many people’s expectations!
The most shocked was Tang Fei himself. He stared with widened eyes, unbelieving. He had actually lost in his area of expertise?
“No, impossible!” he exclaimed hysterically, and the smile on his face disappeared.
At the same time, Qin Feng’s evolved army dissipated, turning into white smoke, gathering in the sky above The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board, ultimately transforming into golden words.
Everyone saw — “Military tactics are of vital importance to the nation, the province of life and death, the road to survival or ruin. It is mandatory to examine them.”
Rows of military writings emerged, each word precious and profound, precisely Sun Tzu’s Art of War!
The academic dispute between Qin Feng and the National Academy, under the instigation of the Third Prince, became widely known.
Naturally, those who paid attention in various ways were no longer few, including military officers, soldiers, and those skilled in military strategy.
Qin Feng’s ability to defeat Tang Fei in the Hundred Armies Martial Arts was beyond their expectations.
And when these people saw the content of the military strategy, no one could remain calm anymore!
“This…this is the Art of War.”
“I’ve never heard of such things, never seen such insights. Could it be that this young man comprehended it himself?”
“This military strategy is truly beyond words.”
Qin Feng widened his eyes in astonishment. He never expected that after the triumph in The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board, the Sun Tzu’s “Art Of War” in his mind would also reveal itself.
What to do now? There were still some chapters deliberately not explained to Senior Fei, all in an attempt to freeload on the other’s labor.
In the Duke of Liu’s mansion, even the Old man Duke Liu, who wasn’t adept at leading troops into battle, could see the profound nature of this military strategy.
But when he turned his head and looked around, he saw Liu Tianlu frowning.
“What’s wrong? Could there be an issue with this military strategy?”
Liu Tianlu shook his head, “This military strategy delves into the art of using troops to an extreme, but the problem lies precisely here. If someone with ill intentions in Imperial City comprehends this military strategy, it is not a good thing for The Great Qian.”
At the same time, in the Heavenly Tower, Fei Xun concentrated on looking at the golden words, fearing that he would miss any detail.
The revealed content of the military strategy was roughly one-third of what he had learned before. At this rate, he could learn all the military strategies today.
However, just when he was full of expectations, a clear qi swept towards The Hundred Battle Martial Arts Board from the top of the Heavenly Tower, forcefully dispersing those golden characters!
Naturally, it was the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower, taking action!
“Teacher,” Fei Xun was stunned, looking up at the top of the Heavenly Tower, wearing a look of despair.
What one can’t obtain will always stir up unrest.
