I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

Zhao Hai said happily:"Okay, okay! Kuo'er, this is your destiny! You must study hard and study it seriously. After you learn it well, you can hand it to your uncle, who also wants to learn!""

"this……"Zhao Kuo hesitated:"Uncle, this matter must be approved by the Prime Minister! There are some things that are sectarian. If I don't get his consent, I can't teach them to others!"

"right! You are right, this is what you should do! Never offend the Prime Minister!"Zhao Hai nodded quickly

"Thank you uncle for your understanding!"Zhao Kuo cupped his hands and smiled.

Zhao Hai looked at the new Zhao Kuo and said happily:"Kuo'er, uncle found that you are much more sensible when you come back this time!"

Zhao Kuo lowered his head and said with shame:"I'm sorry, uncle, it was Kuo'er's incompetence before that caused the Zhao family to suffer! Now, Kuo'er just hopes to start over, work hard from the beginning, make up for the mistakes made in the past, and let the Zhao family rise again!"

"OK OK! My uncle is very happy that you have this heart! Go ahead and do it boldly, your uncle will always be your supporter!"Zhao Hai said loudly

"Thank you uncle!" Tears welled up in Zhao Kuo's eyes.

It took about three days, and Zhao Kuo finally sorted out the military tactics he had learned based on Lin Beifan's military philosophy. As a result, after sorting out, he found out more and more how shallow and ignorant he was.

So, he Came to Lin Mansion again to ask Lin Beifan for advice

"You are very interested in learning, and I happen to be free, so I will teach you. How much you can learn depends on your luck! Lin Beifan smiled.

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed:"Thank you, Prime Minister!" However, before learning the art of war, I have one thing to ask for!"

"Say, what happened?"Lin Beifan smiled

"When the lower official was summarizing the Prime Minister's art of war in his study at home, he was accidentally seen by my uncle Zhao Hai. He was shocked. He also wanted to learn the Prime Minister's art of war. Is it possible?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Beifan nervously.

As long as Lin Beifan was a little bit impatient, he would have no choice but to reluctantly refuse his uncle.

Who knows, Lin Beifan didn't seem to think twice and said very casually:"Of course, you can teach me whatever you want. Give it to anyone! Zhao

Kuo was shocked:"Prime Minister, this is the sacred law of military strategists and the divine strategy to determine the country. How can it be announced to the public like this?" If the enemy learns from it, wouldn’t it be……"

Lin Beifan shook his head and smiled:"Why not? Look, there are tens of millions of scholars in the world, and they all read the Four Books and Five Classics. Why are some people able to get the top score in high school, and some people can't even pass the exam as a child?"

Zhao Kuoruo had something to say. think

"Look again, there are tens of millions of martial arts practitioners in the world! Why do some people make rapid progress after practicing the same martial arts secrets, while others are still unable to get started?"

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly.

"Therefore, the key lies in people, not in the art of war! The art of war is dead and people are alive. Only by learning and applying it can it be a good art of war! If you learn it but don't use it, how is this art of war different from other art of war? If you don't learn it and don't use it, what's the difference between this art of war and toilet paper?"

Zhao Kuo nodded again, cupped his hands and said:"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. I have learned a lesson from you!"

"Okay, what art of war do you want to learn? Lin Beifan said casually

"The Prime Minister once said that the art of war is to subjugate the enemy without fighting, to subjugate the king without fighting, and to subjugate the country without fighting! The official agreed very much, so the official wanted to learn this kind of military art!"Zhao Kuo said enthusiastically.

Ever since he learned about Lin Beifan's military philosophy, he wanted to learn this superior military method! He would be invincible without sending troops and make the enemy surrender!

Just thinking about it made him so excited that he couldn't control himself and tossed and turned.!

Lin Beifan smiled:"This is not easy! Zhao Kuo said loudly:"

Please, Prime Minister, please do it!" Lin Beifan said:"

Let me ask you, if you and I fight, and our military strength is equal to yours, will you surrender?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head:"Absolutely not!" Lin Beifan said:"

Let me ask you, if you and I fight, and our troops are twice as strong as yours, will you surrender?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head again:"Still not!" Although you have more soldiers, you still have a chance to win! Lin Beifan said:"

Let me ask you again, if you and I fight and our force is five times yours, will you surrender?" Zhao

Kuo hesitated for a moment:"I still won't. Although the winning rate is low, I will fight hard!" Lin Beifan said:"

Let me ask you again, if you and I fight and our troops are 10 times larger than yours, will you surrender?""

"this……"Zhao Kuo hesitated for a long time:"With a gap of 10 times and such a disparity in military strength, it is almost impossible to win! However, I will still fight to the death to win that glimmer of hope!"

Lin Beifan said:"Let me ask you again, if You and I are fighting, and our military strength is 20 times yours. Will you surrender? If 20 times is not enough, what about 30 times?"

"This is simply impossible to win, but I still won't surrender! Even if I use up every last soldier, I will fight to the end! Even if you die in the end, you will die well! It is an honor for our soldiers to die in battle!"

Zhao Kuo looked very determined, and he had always done this.

At first, when facing the terrifying army of warriors from King Jibei, he never thought of escaping.

As a result, he was captured by the opponent's grandmaster because he was covering the retreat of the soldiers.

At this time , Lin Beifan smiled:"It is true that you will not surrender, but if your king orders you to surrender, will you surrender?"

"this……"Zhao Kuo opened his eyes wide and looked panicked.

"Let me ask you again, if the country behind you ordered you to surrender, would you surrender?"

Zhao Kuo was a little bit off guard:"How is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible? Lin Beifan smiled and said:"For example, I have led my troops to invade your country, captured your king, and threatened you to surrender and retreat. Will you surrender?""

"If you don't surrender, you are resisting and disobeying the emperor's orders, committing injustice and betraying the king. The court cannot tolerate you, and the entire country will not let you go! And the soldiers behind you, do you think they are listening to you or us at this time?"

Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Kuo's face.

"Let’s take another example: if our army has invaded your land, it can destroy the country and the people at any time, and threatens you to surrender and withdraw. Will you surrender?"

"If we don’t surrender, we will destroy the country and the people! The country you protect and the people you protect are gone, so what's the point of leading the remaining soldiers to resist? Will the soldiers behind you risk their loved ones with you?"

"me……"Zhao Kuo was sweating profusely.

Lin Beifan shouted:"Zhao Kuo, why are you hesitating? Are you going to bury the entire country for your own whims?"

Zhao Kuo was so frightened that he took a few steps back and turned pale.

"Zhao Kuo, you should know by now the essentials of war to defeat an enemy without fighting, right?"

Zhao Kuo said naa:"The country is strong and the army is strong!"

"That's right, when a country is strong and its army is strong, this is the way to conquer an enemy without fighting, and it is also the supreme art of war! Lin

Beifan laughed and said:"As long as one's own country and one's own soldiers are strong enough to scare the other party's king and fear the other party's citizens, the other party will naturally surrender and not dare to fight at all!""

"Because if you fight, your soldiers will definitely be slaughtered, your king will definitely be captured by the other party, and your citizens will die under the iron hoof of the other party! The destruction of the country and the species is imminent!"

"The same is true for a king who subdues others without fighting, and a country that subdues others without fighting!

Zhao Kuo asked excitedly:"But Prime Minister, how should we do this?""

"Of course, it is to find a way to make your country strong quickly! Improve the combat effectiveness of the army, this is the art of war! Increasing the country's population is the art of war! Increase food production, this is the art of war! Increase national income, this is the art of war! All of this, as long as it is beneficial to the country, is the art of war! Zhao

Kuo was desperate:"But this is so difficult!""

"It is indeed very difficult, but a little can add up to a big thing, and fluid can turn into a ball! For example, the military's combat power cannot be doubled in a short period of time, but we can first increase it by 10% or 20% by strengthening training! The country's population cannot increase by tens of millions in a short period of time, but by encouraging childbirth, it is still possible to increase the population by one to two million.……"

"All these will inevitably gather small streams to form rivers, small rivers to form rivers, and finally thousands of rivers will flow eastward and merge into Wangyang Sea! Our country will definitely be powerful in the world, and no one will be dissatisfied when coming to court! Lin

Beifan patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder:"Boy, if you don't plan for the world, how can you plan for a country?" If you don’t plan for a country, how can you plan for an entire army? If you only limit your victory to one-third of an acre on the battlefield, you will never be able to become a military master, let alone a military god!"

At this moment, Zhao Kuo's vision was rudely opened by Lin Beifan, and it suddenly became clear! The original supreme art of war is - a strong country and a strong army!

Any method that can increase national power is a good art of war!

If you want to build an army, you must plan One country!

If you want to seek a country, you must seek the world!

Only by winning more than one-third of an acre on the battlefield can you become a master of military strategism and the god of the army!

Zhao Kuo bowed solemnly:"How manyThe Prime Minister gave me some advice, and I have learned a lesson from you!"

"Now, I want to test you to see how much you have learned and how much you have understood!

Zhao Kuo said seriously:"Please give me some advice, Prime Minister!""

"If we go to war with Dayan, who is of comparable strength, how can we defeat him without a fight?"Lin Beifan asked.

Zhao Kuo said without hesitation:"Of course we must first use various methods to enhance the strength of our army, increase the population of our people, and increase our country's food income... Anything that can increase and enhance national strength must be done. , do your best!"

"At the same time, various means were also used to weaken Dayan’s national power! Weaken the strength of their army, reduce their population, and reduce their food income!"

If things go on like this, our Dawu will become stronger and stronger, and Dayan will become more and more declining! Finally, when there is a great disparity in national power, we will definitely win without a fight, and they will definitely lose without a fight!"

Lin Beifan nodded happily:"You can teach me, it seems that you I really understand! Please remember, using troops is the last choice!"

Zhao Kuo said loudly:"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your guidance! Now, I am more and more sure, Prime Minister, you are the sage of military strategists and the god of the army!"

"Why do you say that?"Lin Beifan was surprised.
