Chapter 184 The Debate on Paper Warfare
"Wow, teacher, you look radiant today, so beautiful."
Zheng Qian's handsome face was adorned with a lazy expression, his eyes deep yet arrogant and domineering. He was not only roguishly handsome, but also possessed great wisdom and courage.
The students in Yuko's class were all shocked when they heard Zheng Qian's words.
After the initial shock, some were delighted, some gloated, and others were worried.
Fan Tielan's face was ashen, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Zheng Qian. Li Mubai and Feng Wuhen, on the other hand, looked at Zheng Qian with a mixture of fear, admiration, and concern.
You can compliment Teacher Mo Li on her looks, no problem.
But if you add "oh," making it sound frivolous, you're asking for trouble.
Mo Li was momentarily stunned, then her cheeks flushed slightly. She coughed lightly to cover up the ripples in her heart, and then said seriously, "Zheng Qian, we are talking about the all-out attack in the Wei-Zhao War in the 'Strategies of War'. Tell me, what is so ingenious about Zhao's 'all-out attack' tactic against Wei's powerful army?"
Zheng Qian had seen this question before. Yesterday, Teacher Mo Li gave him her notes, and he saw that the Wei Kingdom had an army of 800,000 cultivators preparing to attack the Zhao Kingdom. The Zhao Kingdom actually organized all its soldiers and warriors to temporarily form an army of one million, and in the rear, there were 1.6 million civilians forming a reserve force. If those at the front died in battle, those in the rear would take their place and continue the fight.
Two million six hundred thousand troops defeated Wei's eight hundred thousand army, leaving only three hundred thousand, successfully defending Zhao. This battle was even recorded in the "Art of War" and became the famous story of "a full-force attack".
At that time, the practice of self-cultivation was prevalent in the State of Wei. One of their warriors could defeat ten men from the State of Zhao, making the disparity in strength vast.
Zhao had an absolute advantage in numbers, but Wei had an absolute advantage in military strength. Therefore, this battle can be considered a victory of the weak over the strong, highlighting the spirit of unity and cooperation, which is why it was included as a classic story in "The Art of War".
“Teacher, I don’t think there’s anything ingenious about ‘a full-force attack.’ It’s just that those in power risked the fate of the whole country, acted out of reckless courage, and won the gamble.”
As soon as Zheng Qian finished speaking, the students in Youzi's class couldn't stand it anymore.
As a transfer student, you disrespect the teacher in class and compliment the teacher's appearance. Someone will deal with you; we dare not say a word.
However, you actually said that the military strategy story of "going all out in one strike" is gambling and reckless courage. You are truly ignorant of your own limitations.
"Ignorant! You call all historical allusions 'the courage of a common man.' You are truly ignorant of your own limitations."
"Exactly, transfer students have a sense of superiority. Where does their audacity come from?"
"I think he just wants to get everyone's attention and find some sense of existence."
The students who had been quietly listening to the lecture suddenly started talking noisily, but Fan Tielan and the other two looked at Zheng Qian with worry in their eyes.
In class, Zheng Qian actually praised Mo Li for being beautiful. This was not a compliment; it was a dangerous challenge to authority.
Mo Li is the woman the Crown Prince declared he would pursue to become his Crown Princess, and who would one day rule the world.
With such a distinguished status, how could Zheng Qian praise her for her radiant beauty and good looks in front of the students?
Teacher Mo Li's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected Zheng Qian to quote the idiom "all-out attack" in such a way. She felt that Zheng Qian was too arrogant and that she had to teach him a lesson today to prevent him from causing great trouble in the future.
With her smile unchanged, Mo Li asked, "This is the first time I've heard of a 'full-force attack' being considered reckless courage. Zheng Qian, could you tell me how you would handle a situation if you were from the State of Zhao, without resorting to reckless courage?"
Zheng Qian was unaware that the Crown Prince was pursuing Teacher Mo Li, and even less aware that praising his teacher's good looks would bring about a deadly disaster.
"When discussing academic matters in class, we should only talk about academic matters," Zheng Qian said, standing up straight.
"The art of war lies in planning before acting and winning through wisdom. Today, I will tell you a classic battle that has been passed down through the ages: the siege of Wei to rescue Zhao."
"Pfft, besieging Wei to rescue Zhao? I think you're just being ridiculous."
Zheng Qian followed the gaze and saw that the speaker had long red hair, an arrogant and unruly look in his eyes, and a mocking stare at Zheng Qian.
He even made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Student Qin Lieyan, please refrain from speaking and let student Zheng Qian answer the question."
"is teacher."
Qin Lieyan lowered his head, like an obedient child, his arrogant gaze disappearing and replaced by flattery and ingratiation.
Zheng Qian smiled and continued, "In the past, the State of Wei had an army of 800,000 men pressing on the border of the State of Zhao. The State of Zhao was on the verge of collapse, so it sought help from the State of Qi, which was next to Wei. Instead of coming to Zhao to help defend the city, the Qi army went the opposite way and marched straight towards the capital of Wei. When the Wei soldiers heard that their capital was under attack, they abandoned their attack on Zhao and withdrew to defend it. The State of Zhao was able to defend its homeland without suffering a million casualties."
The students in Youzi's class are all elites, and Mo Li is the elite among elites. She kept reasoning in her mind about the story of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" that Zheng Qian told her.
"How arrogant!" Qin Lieyan stood up and said disdainfully, "Qi will inevitably encounter obstacles on the way to attack Wei's capital. Before even reaching the capital, they will be intercepted by Wei's army. If Zhao does not gather all its forces for a 'full-force attack,' it will not escape the fate of being destroyed."
"Exactly, I think you're just trying to get attention and disrupting the class."
"A transfer student, from who-knows-which Kara region, who has no idea about strategy."
"Even a pig is better than him; he doesn't know anything about strategy."
Faced with the students' ridicule, Zheng Qian smiled and said, "The brilliance of the strategy of 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' lies in attacking what Wei must defend, forcing Wei to withdraw its troops to save itself, thereby indirectly rescuing Zhao from its predicament. Qi does not need to reach the capital of Wei; as long as it takes action, Wei will not dare to gamble, and the goal will naturally be achieved."
Mo Li nodded to herself. She had been limited by the idea that the Qi army could not reach the capital of Wei, and had not thought that an attack would force the Wei army to turn back to save the country.
If the Wei army does not return, local troops alone cannot withstand the attack of a nation's elite forces. With the capital lost, the 800,000-strong army will eventually be annihilated under the combined attack of the two states, ultimately leading to the destruction of Wei.
The strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" is indeed a superb military tactic.
A sharp glint flashed in Zheng Qian's eyes, as if he had instantly transformed from a lazy teenager into a commander on the battlefield.
"The brilliance of this strategy lies in avoiding the enemy's strength and attacking their weakness, using a roundabout approach to achieve a direct result. Knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial, but I, Zheng Qian, have personally witnessed the birth and death of countless strategies on the battlefield. 'Besieging Wei to rescue Zhao' not only relieved the siege of Zhao, but also made it difficult for the enemy to attend to both ends. Its essence lies in understanding the enemy's situation and responding flexibly, rather than simply following the book."
At this point, Zheng Qian paused slightly, his gaze sweeping across every face in the classroom, and continued, "Theoretical military theory can certainly cultivate our strategic thinking, but the real battlefield is ever-changing and unpredictable. Only by integrating what we have learned into actual combat can we truly grasp the essence of military strategy."
clap clap clap...
Mo Li clapped her hands. She was well-versed in "The Art of War" and had the privilege of experiencing war herself, so she strongly agreed with what Zheng Qian said.
Qin Lieyan looked unconvinced. He genuinely felt that Zheng Qian was just trying to attract attention and was all talk and no action.
The students in the Youzi class shared the same idea as Qin Lieyan. Having never experienced a real war, they naturally only believed in "The Art of War" and not in Zheng Qian's fabricated "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".
Zheng Qian is nothing but a charlatan who only talks the talk and tries to please the crowd.
Teacher Mo Li looked at Zheng Qian with admiration and expectation in her eyes. She knew that this seemingly unruly boy possessed wisdom and courage far beyond his peers.
"Zheng Qian, you are absolutely right. The way of military strategy lies in the heart, in action, and even more so in understanding. I hope that you can continue to hone yourself through actual combat and become a true master of military strategy."
Mo Li's voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, nourishing every young heart.
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class; it was lunchtime.
"get out of class is over."
Mo Li picked up her books and the notes Zheng Qian had returned, and walked out of the classroom.
