Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1911: Art of War and Manuscripts

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was so appreciated by the old dean, She Yunmen was shocked.

Especially when the other party is so young.

However, after suppressing his shock, he looked solemn when he heard the other party's understanding of the special forces.

As an instructor in the academy, he often discusses special forces and special operations.

Also made judgments on the future development of special operations!

It’s just that this kind of discussion is more of a tactical exchange.

How to complete the task better and how to train soldiers better.

Even in the discussion, the shadow of paratroopers can be seen in many aspects.

But now, hearing Gao Feng mention the direction he discussed with the leader last night, he felt that his vision was still narrow.

Then a chill came over my heart.

The special forces are so promising, but what about the paratroopers?

Could it be that the paratroopers will also be included?
Or should we form a special forces unit among the airborne troops?
She Yunmen was a little confused for a moment.

However, there was one thing he was sure of.

That is, this kid's understanding of special operations exceeds that of both of them, and even his understanding of paratroopers is not inferior.

Otherwise, why would people say "Paratroopers are born to be surrounded"?

No, I have to go back and ask this guy if he understands the paratroopers.

His eyes swept over Yang Xiaotao who was leaving.

She Yunmen suddenly spoke up, "Lao Gao, this guy is so strong, could it be related to their training?"

Thinking of Yang Xiaotao's terrifying long-distance running talent, this is a huge advantage when there is no transportation behind enemy lines.

Gao Feng immediately shook his head, "I'm not sure, but it's possible!"

"I'm going to eat!"

Gao Feng was about to leave after he finished speaking. Seeing this, She Yunmen immediately stepped forward. He felt that Gao Feng was hiding something from him.

"Lao Gao, how much do you know about the special forces of the machinery factory..."

"Lao Gao, slow down, I'm not trying to steal your people..."

……

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao came and stood in front of the old man.

At this time, there was no one around the old man, he was just standing there alone.

"Come on, come with me for a walk!"

As the old man spoke, Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward, half a body length behind the old man!

The sun began to rise, and the shadow cast by the parasol tree gradually became clearer on the road.

The two walked step by step on the stone-paved road.

Yang Xiaotao originally thought that the old man would ask about the special forces.

But as they walked along, the two talked more about the trivialities of life.

The old man talked about the changes that had taken place in his life over the years, sometimes describing his previous life scenes and interesting events.

Yang Xiaotao talked about the changes in the old city over the years, the changes in his own life, his own family, and the people in the machinery factory.

When the old man asked about his work, Yang Xiaotao told him what he was going to do without reservation.

Machinery, machine tools, steel, alloys...

There are also engines, night vision goggles, and pharmaceutical matters...

In the end, it was basically Yang Xiaotao who was talking, and the old man was listening quietly.

However, there was obviously more smile in the corners of the old man's eyes.

The two of them walked and talked along the way, as if the younger generation was telling the older generation about the hardships and achievements of these years, and as if the older generation was caring about the life and future of the younger generation.

Then, the two of them came back to where they lived last night.

When I entered the room, Secretary Guo had already prepared breakfast.

"Sit down and eat!"

"I know you're leaving soon, so I won't see you off!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "No, I can just take the bus!"

The old man smiled and then invited Yang Xiaotao to eat.

The meals are simple and there aren't many varieties, but they are nutritionally balanced.

Yang Xiaotao also drank a glass of milk.

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao prepared to leave.

He felt a little reluctant to leave because he had a unique feeling with the old man.

This feeling is completely different from being with other leaders.

Like, without any airs, very friendly.

The old man knew that Yang Xiaotao was leaving, and he was very casual, "Secretary Guo!"

Secretary Guo at the side understood what was said and immediately took a wooden box from the side and handed it to Yang Xiaotao personally.

Yang Xiaotao took the wooden box, which was not very heavy, and looked at the old man.

"This is a gift from your uncle. It's just something I wrote casually. It's not precious. Take a look if you like it!"

Yang Xiaotao held the wooden box in his arms, "Thank you, uncle!"

"Let's go, don't delay the trip!"

The old man stood up and walked Yang Xiaotao out of the house.

Yang Xiaotao left with the wooden box. When he went out and looked back, the old man was still standing at the door. When he saw Yang Xiaotao turning back, he waved his hand. Yang Xiaotao also waved his arm and then walked towards his residence.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at the residence, Hao Pingchuan came over as soon as he entered the door.

After looking him up and down, he said, "Xiao Yang, was the person who was looking for you just now the chief?"

"You don't know, someone just asked about you, and thought you were from some family!"

"But then again, do you have any background?"

"Hey, what is this?"

Hao Pingchuan looked like a curious baby, asking Yang Xiaotao all kinds of questions. Finally, when he saw the wooden box in Yang Xiaotao's hand, he became even more curious.

"Is this a gift for you?"

Hao Pingchuan was guessing, and several people immediately gathered around after hearing it, looking at the box in Yang Xiaotao's arms with itchy eyes.

"What are you doing? This is for me. You all look like wolves!"

Yang Xiaotao said this, but everyone refused to leave and insisted on seeing what was inside.

Yang Xiaotao walked aside and sat down, wanting to see what was inside.

So, under the gaze of several people, Yang Xiaotao opened the wooden box, and then a book appeared inside!

"The Art of War"

Yang Xiaotao saw the name of the book at a glance and his heart immediately warmed up.

Wang Hao and Xu Han immediately exclaimed, "Another one!"

As soon as he said this, Hao Pingchuan and the other two beside him immediately looked up and asked, "What another one?"

Wang Hao saw that Yang Xiaotao's eyes were on the book, so he began to explain in a low voice.

When Hao Pingchuan learned that Yang Xiaotao had obtained a copy of Lu Xun's Complete Works a few years ago, his eyes almost popped out. It was said that there was also a copy of Capital and a scroll that read "Study for the Rise of China". He felt like he was looking at a mountain of gold but couldn't get it. He felt sour and uncomfortable.

Oh boy, now another book is in this guy's hands.

He felt that he was so poor!
Several people's eyes were on the books. Yang Xiaotao was stroking a somewhat yellowed book. At the old man's residence, Yang Xiaotao saw many books on the bookshelf.

There are many military books among them.

The book "The Art of War" in front of him is exactly the same as the one on the bookshelf in Yang Xiaotao's home.

嗏

Yang Xiaotao picked it up gently and then turned to the first page.

"Meet the brave to win on the narrow road!"

Reading it softly, Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed.

In a military book like The Art of War, which emphasizes strategy, conquering the enemy without fighting, and attacking the enemy's plans, there is a sentence that emphasizes bravery. It always seems out of place!

But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Xiaotao felt that this was the difference between the God of War and others!

Courage is not only the courage to charge and kill.

Or the courage to make decisions and take the first step.

Just like the military spirit in the movie "Draw the Sword" that draws the sword whenever it encounters an enemy.

When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins; this is also the military spirit!

Continuing to flip through the pages, he found that it was indeed the old man's annotations on the Art of War. The lines of small characters were concise and to the point, giving Yang Xiaotao some new insights.

"There's something in the box!"

Xiaobo saw some papers in the wooden box and couldn't help but shout out.

Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and focused his attention inside.

There is a stack of papers under the book.

Yang Xiaotao took it out immediately and looked at it. There were not many, only about ten pages, but they were covered with words.

Some of these words were written with a brush, some were written with a fountain pen, and some were even circled in red pen.

From the handwriting, it can be determined that these were all written by an old man.

After reading some of the content, Yang Xiaotao immediately confirmed that this was the old man's manuscript.

In other words, this is the book that the old man is organizing his life experiences and preparing to write.

In an instant, Yang Xiaotao felt that the ten pieces of paper were extremely heavy, and even his breathing became rapid.

Xiaobo next to me also saw the words above, especially the first few words, "sneak attack on Yangmingbao", which is a specific analysis of a real case.

In an hurry, Xiaobo looked down.

He saw the staffing.

He saw the grasp of the human heart.

He saw the analysis of the battle situation.

He saw
Well, Yang Xiaotao put the manuscript away.

This guy, can't he be more generous?
Yang Xiaotao didn't notice Xiaobo's helplessness at all.

Now he just feels that these manuscripts are so precious.

It is even more valuable than Sun Tzu's Art of War.

It doesn’t mean that the value of the manuscript is higher than the essence of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

It’s not that the theory of this manuscript is so brilliant.

But this manuscript belongs to the old man.

These contain the old man's hard work, his thoughts, and his views on the war, so for Yang Xiaotao, these dozen pieces of paper are priceless treasures.

Carefully placing the manuscripts under the box, Yang Xiaotao took the Art of War from Hao Pingchuan, then closed the box and slammed it hard.

'Now, Miaomiao's heirloom is finally here.'

Yang Xiaotao thought proudly, while Hao Pingchuan and Chen Chonghan on the side shook their heads helplessly.

Why is the gap between people so big?

They are all revolutionary workers, so why can they get the leader’s calligraphy?

Weird.

"Okay, pack up now, let's go."

"Don't delay your trip."

Yang Xiaotao put the box in his backpack and carried it on his back.

Wang Hao nodded, "The car is ready and we can set off at any time."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Hao Pingchuan and the other man, "What about you guys? Do you want to come with us?"

Xiaobo nodded. "Whether we are exposed or not, we have already appeared in front of people. There is no need to hide anymore."

"I'll go with you this time."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Okay, this way we have an extra companion."

As he said that, he handed the bag in his hand to Hao Pingchuan.

Hao Pingchuan asked in surprise, "What?"

"Carrying a bag, you don't even understand this."

"From now on, you are a member of the security department of our machinery factory."

"This identity doesn't wrong you."

Hao Pingchuan rolled his eyes, but took the bag and asked, "Do you get paid?"

"Yes, I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back to Sijiu City."

"Tsk, I have a big appetite."

Yang Xiaotao came to Chen Chonghan and took out a bag of candy from his backpack. "I was going to give it to his family, but now I can't go. You can take the candy back first."

"But you can't miss this meal."

"When we get back to Sijiu City, I'll go to your house for dinner."

Chen Chonghan showed a reassurance on his face after hearing this, "Don't worry, I will definitely treat you to this meal."

After that, the two hugged and said goodbye.

"You, be careful on the road."

Chen Chonghan whispered that ever since Hao Pingchuan and the other man appeared, he realized that the situation was not simple.

Otherwise there would be no secret protection.

Considering Yang Xiaotao's identity, it goes without saying that what he did would definitely make someone pay attention to him.

"Don't worry, those guys are under control."

"Don't be careless. I'll be waiting for you to return to Sijiu City."

"Okay, see you in Sijiu City."

As they were talking, Gao Feng walked in from outside, saw that Yang Xiaotao and his companions were ready, said a few simple words to them, and then asked them to go out and get on the prepared car.

Not long after, Yang Xiaotao waved to Chen Chonghan, then looked back at the green mountains, listened to the slogans in his ears, the slogans on the wall, and the old man in the apartment halfway up the mountain.

Everything seemed like a dream, so short and yet so profound.

"gone!"

He spoke softly to the apartment in the distance, then got into the prepared jeep and drove down the mountain.
