"It's here. It's the same when I came here a few years ago. It hasn't changed much, but there was no one there at that time." The ancestor knocked heavily on the wooden door.

I saw a middle-aged man with thick kudzu and short brown, wearing a blue cloth scarf on his head, came to answer the door and asked, "May I ask why the two benefactors are here. If you want to burn incense and worship the Buddha, please come to the front hall to rejoice."

This man is dressed like a layman, but speaks like a monk, it sounds funny, Qingzhi clapped his hands together and saluted, "Brother, please forgive me, the two of us are here to visit the master of this place, Master Daoji, and I hope to introduce you."

The man was stunned for a moment, looked them up and down, said to wait a moment, turned around and trotted in, turned around after a while, invited the two of them in, and came to a bamboo house in the north.

Stepping into the bamboo house, a monk in his thirties sits on a futon with his back against the wall. The word "sit and forget".

He clasped his hands together and greeted, "Please forgive the Samana for being unwelcome, please sit down, both of you."

Qingzhi and the ancestors returned their salutes one by one, and they all knelt down on the lower futon.

Qing Zhi first said, "But Master Ji Dao?"

"Don't dare to claim the title of Master Tanyue, the mountains and plains are quiet, but you can live and practice here, and you can call me by my name." Ji Dao said indifferently, "Dare to ask the two benefactors why they are so far away?"

Boss Zu couldn't help but interjected, "I should have asked this question a long time ago, you two are modest, the sun is about to set!"

The other two laughed out loud.

Qingzhi pursed his lips and said, "My elder brother has an upright temper. Master Wang Jidao is not to blame."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's because we're acting!" Ji Dao waved his hands.

Boss Zu didn't care what tactics they said, and said bluntly, "We are here for Tan Gong's art of war."

Ji Dao said clearly, "Don't gossip, Tan Gong's art of war was passed down by his ancestors, and it was only given to those who he recognized. General Dao Ji asked three times on behalf of the ancestors, who will come?"

Elder Zu looked at Qingzhi, Qingzhi nodded and sat upright.

"What is a soldier?" Ji Dao asked.

"There is a saying in the art of war: Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, must be observed. From my point of view, those who are close can protect the environment and the people, and those who are far away can be confused with China."

"What a mix of China, it coincides with the ambition of our ancestors for the Northern Expedition." Ji Dao clapped his hands in praise, and then asked, "How to defeat the enemy?"

"The art of war is the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people; or it is to know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; or it is said that all fighters will win by being right. It seems to me that it makes sense, but rewarding the soldiers as a whole, such as the arm. Soldiers, the more the better, it is rare."

Hearing this, Ji Dao asked again with a smile, "As you said, how will the soldiers be integrated as one?"

Both Qingzhi and the elder Zu were shocked. It turned out that the third question was randomly set.

Qingzhi pondered for a moment, and Lang Lang replied, "For a general, it is needless to say that he is wise, trustworthy, benevolent, brave and strict; orders are prohibited, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and there is no need to say too much. In my humble opinion, I must make the top and bottom share the same desire and make the best use of the situation, but whether it can be done , Qingzhi dare not make a judgment.”

Ji Dao got up slowly, took out six volumes of silk scrolls from the box in the inner room, handed them to Qingzhi, and said calmly, "What you want is here."

Qingzhi was stunned, and Zu Boss was also at a loss, "It's as simple as that, and you got Tan Gong's art of war?"

Ji Dao laughed and said, "How difficult do you think, the ancestors had hoped that the art of war that they wrote would be handed down to the world, but they didn't want their hard work to fall into the hands of young people.

He has only two requirements for his successors: first, those who know soldiers are evil, not good at creating disasters, and have a mind to benefit the world; "

Qingzhi sighed to himself, but declined, "Qingzhi is ashamed to accept such a precious thing." He glanced at the cover of the silk book, and there were four characters "36 Strategies" and Zhangcao written on it, presumably it should be the first book of this military book. name.

Ji Dao shook his head in amazement and said, "I didn't give it to you. How could the ancestor's handwriting be lost among us? If you want, you can copy it in the bamboo house in Xishou, and you can stay here for a few more days."

Boss Zu and Qingzhi looked at each other, and they both heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Qingzhi would neither be the first nor the last.

Qingzhi was very grateful and readily agreed.The two of them stayed that day, and they ate wild vegetables with Ji Dao. The three of them talked at night by candlelight, and they hit it off very well.

For the next two days, Qingzhi kept writing and transcribing the six volumes of Art of War one by one. Every time he thought about it, he felt more and more ingenious.It turns out that this book summarizes the art of war into 36 strategies, which are divided into victory strategy, enemy strategy, attack strategy, melee strategy, merger strategy, and defeat strategy. Taking real battle examples, some are the big and small battles that Duke Tan personally experienced, and some are the famous battles of the past dynasties summarized by him.

There is a strategy in the melee strategy, which is called "Golden Cicada Escapes its Shell", the so-called "preserve its shape, complete its momentum", preserve the original shape of the position during the battle, further complete the situation of the main force transfer, and achieve the unexpected effect. Like a golden cicada taking off its shell, it roams freely in the world without being noticed.Tan Gong further explained the magical effect of this strategy with the example of "dead Zhuge scares away Sheng Zhongda".

Meeting a confidant in my life, the years in the mountains are long.The three chatted by chance, and when talking about Duke Tan, Samana Jidao sighed with emotion.

General Tan originally came from a poor family. He lost his father when he was young. He made a living for his family. When he was young, he joined the Beifu Army founded by Xie Xuan.Later, he followed the founder of Liu Song Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty Liu Yu, who spent half his life as a soldier and horse, conquered all the way from south to north, and never suffered a major defeat in his life.He established Liu Song's foundation, assisted the three dynasties, and even made several Northern Expeditions.

It is said that on the day that Duke Tan was unjustly killed, the capital Jiankang suffered a lot of earthquakes, and many white hairs grew in the fields. There are folk songs saying, "Poor Bai Fujiu, who killed Tanjiang Prefecture in vain."

The father of Ji Dao is the young grandson of Tangong, who survived by chance and lived in seclusion in Qiyun Mountain. He spent several years building this temple with his own hands, brick by brick, stone and wood, to secretly commemorate a dead soul. It is shaped by the heroic figure of the grandfather in the impression.He wanted to give up his life to enter the temple, but he couldn't cut off the incense of the sandalwood gate, so he had to cultivate at the foot of the mountain.

Ji Dao is the youngest son in the family. He knew his father's mind well since he was a child. He made a vow to enter Buddhism since he was a child.

When Boss Zu and Chen Qingzhi heard about it, they were very sad. They regarded real famous generals as beauties, and they were not allowed to see their gray hair in the world.

Liu Song unjustly killed General Tan, and after he broke the Great Wall, he was replaced by Xiao Qi in less than 20 years.Stone City's past is like smoke, and time has changed. Only this small Tsosha Temple, hidden among the sea of ​​clouds and pines, stands quietly.
