The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun stood on the city wall, looking at the empty grassland outside, where occasionally hares jumped and gray wolves hunted.

"Since there is no time limit, it means that it should be safe here, but what if the old man is not here? Could it be that there is a great scholar Zhenwen guarding him? But I didn't feel it when I mobilized King Yun's official seal just now."

Fang Yun once again held the official seal of King Yun. Everything in the entire village was within his perception. How many soldiers were training hard, how many were coping, how many people were sick, how many children were weak, and how many talents the people in the courtyard had. The wait is under control.

"This kind of power is obviously very good, but why do I feel more pressure?"

One is a mountain village with thousands of people, and the other is a barbarian tribe with ten thousand people. The deeper you understand, the stronger your sense of powerlessness becomes.

"well……"

Fang Yun sighed softly, then took a deep breath to cheer up. The experience of Huanmeng Pavilion made him understand many things. A person can be depressed, angry, pessimistic, evasive, and even desperate, but as long as he lives, There is a turning point! It is possible to win!

Fang Yun thought in his mind, holding the official seal in his hand, and issued an order to all the people here who were elected and above to go to the military academy.

Fang Yun walked down the city wall and came to the main hall of the Military Academy. There was a large table in the middle of the main hall. Eight people were sitting on both sides, looking at their clothes. They were one Hanlin, two Jinshi and five Juren.

"Meet Luck King!" Eight people stood up in unison to greet him.

The king is like a great Confucian, and his royal status is equivalent to that of a great scholar.

Fang Yun looked at these people carefully. They all had higher positions than himself, but they were not arrogant at all. They were solemn and respectful, and had strict military discipline.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Fang Yun was not polite and walked up to the main seat.

Fang Yun sat down, and the other eight people sat down one after another.

There was an extremely rough map on the table. Fang Yun took a look and saw that the wolf barbarian tribe was in the middle. There was no small tribe or monster gathering place around it.

This mountain stronghold is located directly south of the Langman tribe. It neither controls the chokepoint nor is it a dangerous place. There is only a section of the city wall blocking the valley entrance. Without the suppression of the great Confucian Zhenwen, it is impossible to stand.

"Tell me about the situation here." Fang Yun said.

So the generals gave an overview of the situation here one after another.

After listening to this, Fang Yun realized that the barbarians would occasionally come to harass the camp, but most of the time they pretended it didn't exist. As for things outside this grassland, the people in the camp didn't know. They only knew that the Ten Kingdoms and the Holy Academy would come. Send food and grass supplies.

Although there are some weirdness in them, Fang Yun is not prepared to delve into it. It should be like the old man said, nothing can be said from them. So he stopped being distracted and just thought about how to destroy the barbarian tribe.

Fang Yun stared at the map and couldn't see anything after looking at it for a long time. With the power of this stronghold, it was impossible to capture the wolf tribe of ten thousand people.

"Mencius said that the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. The people in this village work together, but their strength is too weak. They can't compare with the ten thousand wolf barbarian tribe."

"As for the geographical advantage, although the wolf barbarians have forced the human race out of the grassland, thousands of years have passed. They are still considered natives of the grassland and make a living by grazing. This is their home, and we do not occupy any geographical advantage."

"Tianshi, let alone this. At least you have to be a great scholar to partially influence Tianshi. The barbarian king on the other side is only at the bachelor level, so no one on either side can influence it. But they often live in the grassland and know much more about Tianshi than we do. "

"The weather, the right location, and the people are completely suppressed. How can we fight this battle! How can we destroy this barbarian tribe!"

Fang Yun thought about it, but still didn't know how to win, so he asked: "It's impossible for us people to destroy that barbarian tribe. You all know very well. What do you think?"

"If we lure them to attack the stronghold, you can kill them all, but you have said you won't do that. So, we have no choice."

Fang Yun said: "Even if there are no old people, I think this stronghold is easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the strength of a thousand people and a page of great Confucian texts, it can be defended. After all, the Barbarian King is only equivalent to a great scholar. He has The great Confucian scholar Zhen Wen is here, and if he rushes in, he is seeking death. "

"It is easy to get the true texts of great scholars, but those barbarians are not fools and will not attack the city with all their strength. Their purpose is very clear, to trap us in the stronghold. But as long as the adults are here, there will be food and grass from the Holy Court. We will not starve to death, but It can’t grow.”

Fang Yun nodded, he also knew that the barbarians' method of attacking the city must first defeat the power of the temple in the city, and then start to attack the city, but everything was based on the absolute advantage of the barbarians. If the barbarians have little advantage, they will surround three towers and cut off water and food. Once the soldiers and civilians in the city escape, they can capture the next city.

Even if there is no old man guarding this camp, as long as there is a page of Great Confucianism to suppress it, the ten thousand barbarians will have to lose at least five or six thousand to capture it. After all, the power of Great Confucianism is too powerful.

"Anyway, luring them to attack is the only way to defeat them, right?" Fang Yun said.

"That's true, but unless the Wolf Barbarian tribe thinks they can't survive, they can't go into full-scale war. The Wolf Barbarian tribe, like us, has been guarding here for generations, and they are guarding the ancestral temple."

"All of you and the barbarians can't leave?"

"Yeah, never left either."

Fang Yun continued to discuss with everyone and made several points clear.

If you take the initiative to fight, you will definitely die. Any so-called military strategy will not work. The barbarian tribe has an overwhelming advantage.

If you want to win, you must force the barbarians to attack the city, but you must also weaken them.

At the end of the discussion, Fang Yun asked helplessly: "Our only way is to force the barbarians into a dead end and let them attack the city?"

"There is no other possibility, unless you suddenly have the ability of a university scholar and lead us to kill them."

Fang Yun said: "I heard the sound of reading in the academy. In a few years, those students will be able to become talents, right?"

A general said with a bitter face: "People in the village cannot leave, nor can they take the imperial examination. In the future, they will at most be students in front of the saint, and it is impossible for them to take the next step. So you said don't count on them."

Fang Yun felt even heavier in his heart, which meant that even the most upright way to cultivate talents was blocked.

"I understand, you can disperse."

After everyone left, Fang Yun sat alone in the main hall of the military academy, staring at the map, thinking constantly, and gradually understood a lot.

"If it is to test my ability to lead troops to fight, there is no need to make the gap between the two sides so big. No matter how powerful a general is in history, it is impossible to use war to kill 10,000 barbarians. Therefore, to pass this test, war is by no means the most important means."

"Since it is impossible to win by cultivating talents, then purely leading the development of the human race is not enough. In other words, the Holy Academy has countless ways to cultivate talents, and I am not the only one."

"In this case, there is only one way, which is to weaken the barbarians. Let's start from this aspect."

Fang Yun entered the academy and searched for all the information about the barbarians in the library. He spent a whole day reading it, and then gathered the oldest people in the village together to listen to them talk about everything about this grassland.

These old people are very smart. They can see at a glance that Fang Yun wants to destroy the barbarians, and then they give advice.

The old people talked about everything, and often quarreled with each other because of contradictions.

However, these old people are very consistent in one thing, knowing that the Wolf Lake and the grass on the grassland are the foundation of the barbarians. As long as the Wolf Lake and the grass are destroyed, the Wolf Barbarians will inevitably lose their support.

The old people said many ways to solve the problems of Wolf Lake and grassland, but none of them were very reliable.

After chatting with the old people, Fang Yun walked up to the city wall, holding the official seal, and activated the power of the official seal. His mind flew to the sky and he could "see" the extremely far place of the grassland.

In the center of the grassland, there is a large lake, and there is a wolf tribe beside the lake.

In the tribe, the wolf barbarians multiply and thrive, and outside the tribe, there are herds of cattle and sheep, and a few wolf barbarians are grazing. This is the biggest difference between wolf barbarians and wolf monsters.

The human race can use their talents to accomplish all kinds of incredible things, but the barbarians are different. Most barbarians have strong physical and blood power. The demon saint barbarian saint can flatten a mountain with one punch, but he can't even make the simplest rainfall, while even the scholar of the human race has the opportunity to write a poem to pray for rain.

In addition to being physically strong, the demon barbarians also have some innate magic, but those magic have many limitations, far less varied than the human race.

However, the demon barbarians have always suppressed the human race with their strong bodies and talents.

Fang Yun looked at the world, and his mind was full of thoughts. At this time, the world was in harmony, as if everything could survive on this grassland.

A rabbit moved its three-petal mouth and ate grass quickly. A fox lurked in the dark and suddenly jumped out, scaring the rabbit to flee madly. Finally, the rabbit escaped the fox's pursuit. Just as it squatted down to rest, a goshawk swooped down and held the rabbit firmly with its powerful claws.

The mantis on the side was frightened and flew away in a hurry, scaring the dragonfly not far away to flee with the insect in its mouth.

Fang Yun's eyes lit up.

"Food chain! Ecological balance! As long as the ecological balance here is broken and the barbarians lose their place of survival, even if no soldiers move, their strength can be reduced to the minimum!"

"The basis of the grassland food chain is this grass. Whether it is poisoning or burning, it is impossible to achieve real results. However, ecological imbalance can be gradually changed like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time the barbarians realize it, it is already powerless to save the situation. We humans can either take action when they are the weakest, or wait for them to fight to the death!"

"Then, let's do it step by step!"

Fang Yun thought to himself, and immediately summoned the military personnel with literary titles to the main hall of the military academy.

Soon, Fang Yun sat in the main seat, the officers sat below, and the others stood on both sides. The main hall was full of killing.

"I have a plan to weaken the barbarians, but the process is complicated and may take several years to complete. I hope you will cooperate."

"Yes."

"I heard that the human race and the barbarians have been trading secretly, and it is basically controlled by the aristocratic families. Is this true?"

"Yes. However, those who do this are all side branches of the big families, or those who cannot move up in the literary position. As long as it is not too much, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye."

"Okay. You report to the Holy Academy and let those merchants spread the word that starting this year, they will no longer buy sheep from the barbarians, but only goats, and the price of goats is twice that of sheep, which will induce the barbarians to increase their efforts to breed goats."
