Feng Quili looked at Feng Jia in confusion and asked, "What did you say?"
Feng Jia coughed dryly and said with difficulty: "Recently, some of these soldiers... have become obsessed with banishing immortals."
Feng Quili looked at Feng Jia in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Feng Jia looked at Feng Quili worriedly: "Master, are you deaf?"
Wow!
Feng Quili swept all the cups and plates in front of him to the floor.
He stared at Feng Jia and roared, "What did you just say?"
Feng Jia was startled and said cautiously: "Little man, the little man just said that the soldiers are all obsessed with the banished immortal."
"Fart, you're talking nonsense, it's impossible, you've lost your mind and gone crazy!" Feng Quli roared angrily, pointing at Feng Jia and yelling.
This vehement curse made Feng Jia lower his head hard and never dared to raise his head again.
Feng Quili jumped to his feet and cursed for a while, venting all the anger in his heart.
Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little tired.
He sat down slumped and said in a tone of despair: "How is this possible? We are in a barbarian country, thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty."
"Before setting off, I carefully selected these soldiers. They are so good, how could they be obsessed with the banished immortal? How could they all be obsessed with the banished immortal?"
"No matter how talented the banished immortal is, he can't bewitch my soldiers thousands of miles away, right? Tell me, what is going on?"
Feng Jia said with a grimace: "This is because...recently we are using the method of banishing immortals to fight."
Feng Quili was slightly startled: "Are we using the method of banishing immortals to fight?"
Feng Jia nodded and said, "Exactly. That Zhang San is the one who banished the immortal."
Feng Quili let out a sigh: "I remembered that barbarian. Yes, he is indeed the one who banished the immortals. Even his name was given by Huaiguzi for him."
Feng Jia said: "Exactly. When Zhang San came here, he brought a book called "The Art of War by Banning the Immortal". This book also has another name called "The Art of War by Huaigu" and also called "The Art of War by Huaizi" of."
Feng Quili waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care about the name of this art of war. You just tell me that Zhang San used the method in the book?"
Feng Jia nodded: "It's exactly the method in the book."
"This person told us to disperse the soldiers and assemble them at another location according to what the book said. This way we can intersperse the battles without anyone noticing, and come and go like the wind. It's really wonderful."
Feng Jia said that he was excited and couldn't help but feel a little bit appreciative.
Feng Quli cleared his throat.
Feng Jia quickly stopped talking, and then looked at Feng Quili with a dry smile.
Feng Quili said: "So, the soldiers know that we are using the method of banishing immortals to fight?"
Feng Jia nodded and said: "Exactly. Now many soldiers are buying books from Zhang San, and they are buying this Immortal Art of War.
Feng Quili sneered: "What a joke. How many words do these soldiers know?"
Feng Jia scratched his head and said: "This... there is a reason."
Feng Quili asked: "What's the reason?"
Feng Jia said: "There are three types of people who buy this book. The first type are generals who lead troops to fight. The second type are corps captains who know a few words. The third type are generals who know a few words. He is a soldier who cannot read a word of Chinese characters."
Feng Quili snorted: "It's understandable that a general buys a book. He must be planning to learn something from the book so that he can win battles in the future."
Feng Jia said: "Yes, that's exactly it."
Feng Quili said: "But I don't understand the second type of people and the third type of people."
Feng Jia coughed dryly and said, "The remaining two types of people buy books entirely because of some rumors."
Feng Quli: "Oh?"
Feng Jia said: "First there are rumors that the imperial court is likely to hold martial arts examinations in the future. Because we, the Qin Dynasty, not only want to rule the world with culture, but also conquer the world with force. We must not emphasize culture over military force."
Feng Quli's first reaction was that it was nonsense and the rumors were not credible.
But after careful consideration, I feel that this rumor may not be without reason.
In the future... maybe I will actually hold martial arts competitions.
He asked Feng Jia: "So what if I start the martial arts exam?"
Feng Jia said: "Rumors say that if there is a military examination in the future, this art of war may be used as a textbook. The questions will come from it."
"Fart, bullshit." Feng Quili slapped the table and yelled.
However, after he finished scolding, he was a little confused: If the imperial examination is really held in the future, will the Art of War be used as a reference book? Most likely it will. Aren't most of today's imperial examinations based on the books promulgated by Shangjun Courtyard?
Feng Quili sighed. He suddenly realized that the Immortal was everywhere and couldn't even hide away.
Feng Jia said cautiously: "Therefore, those corps captains all bought books and studied them day and night. They hope that one day they can pass the imperial examination and then become generals who lead troops to fight."
Feng Quli was silent for a while and asked: "So, the remaining illiterate soldiers have also made this plan?"
Feng Jia said: "That's not true. Those soldiers are self-aware and know that their skills are too poor to be generals. They bought the Immortal's Art of War mainly because of another rumor."
Feng Quli: "Huh?"
Feng Jia said: "This rumor says that if you buy the Immortal's Art of War, you will be blessed by the Immortal. During the war, you will be protected by the holy light of the Immortal."
"People who are going to be disabled can be left unscathed. People who are going to die can be reduced to being disabled."
"These soldiers are originally illiterate and very ignorant. Moreover, they have all heard the name of the immortal, so they believe it without doubt."
"Now all they need to do is buy a book to ensure their safety. Even if they would rather believe that they have it than that they don't have it, they still have to bite the bullet and buy one."
Feng Quili said: "However, as long as one or two people die, won't this rumor be self-defeating?"
Feng Jia smiled bitterly and said: "The villain thought so at first. But there is a second half to this rumor."
"This rumor says that if you buy the book and still die. That can only mean one thing. You are not pious enough and do not sincerely believe in banishing immortals."
Feng Quli: "..."
Isn't this a hooligan thing?
Feng Jia said: "Therefore, those illiterate people not only bought books, but also recited them every day. If they didn't know the words, they asked others to teach them, so that they could memorize them thoroughly."
"Now they are extremely pious and obsessed with banishing immortals."
Feng Quili sat there blankly for a long time, then shook his head and whispered: "Absurd, absurd, simply absurd."
He made several absurd remarks in a row, and then said to Feng Jia: "Pass this order, no one in my army is allowed to secretly hide the art of war."
