Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 28 If You Want to Copy, Copy to the End
The last question is, discussion.
Discuss, analyze and explain the truth, and express personal opinions.
This question is the most challenging one in terms of personal accomplishment and thinking, and it also accounts for the largest proportion of all the questions.
Even though Tang Zheng had answered the first three types of questions on classics, history, and poetry very well, and the poetry question relied on the influence of Li Bai's poem and even caused a resonance phenomenon in literature, it can be said that he would basically get full marks on this question. However, if he did not answer the last question on essay perfectly, the final score on the written test might still be less than ideal.
If you want to get high scores, you must do a good job on the topic.
Tang Zheng carefully looked at the requirements of the last question - based on the current war situation between Jade Stone City and the demon clan, come up with your own point of view and write an article with military strategic or tactical value.
Tang Zheng was not surprised at all by this question.
As a small frontier city, Fei Shi City faces great military pressure. Yisu Academy also inputs a large number of talents for the defenders of Fei Shi City all year round, so it has always favored candidates with certain military qualities or military talents.
However, it is not surprising, but Tang Zheng is a homeboy, and the only military operations he had ever been involved in in his previous life were in games, such as field PK, and boss fighting in wasteland ...
It would be too difficult for him to express any real military insights.
what to do?
When the third question triggered the strange phenomenon, it took too long, and most of the star sand in the hourglass had flowed out, and less than one-third of the time was left.
While Tang Zheng was thinking hard, Leng Buchen had quietly walked behind Tang Zheng and watched him chew the pen silently.
With Tang Zheng's keen sense, he naturally discovered Leng Buchen's movements at the first moment.
As the deacon of Yisu Academy and the chief examiner of this examination room, he could naturally move around as he pleased in the examination room and look at whose test paper he wanted.
Have power and be willful!
Although Tang Zheng was very unhappy about the big light bulb sticking out behind him, he could only complain silently: "Mr. Leng, don't you know that standing behind the examinee is one of the most despised things..."
Complaints are complaints, answering the questions is the most important thing.
Tang Zheng thought about it and felt that whether he wrote "The Battle between Humans and Demons - A Brief Discussion on the Secret of Fighting for the World Boss" or "Special Operations Strategy - The Art of Commanding a Dungeon Gold Group", he would probably get zero points directly.
Do you want to copy another one?
Tang Zheng, who had just tasted the pleasure of being a plagiarist, felt that he could not stop at all. However, he had learned a lot of famous poems and songs from elementary school to junior high school, but he had not come into contact with many military works.
The only thing Tang Zheng remembered was probably the "Cao Gui's Discussion on War", which was a work of great vigour at first, then declined and finally exhausted.
"It's awesome, but I still feel it's not high-end and classy enough..." Tang Zheng was a little hesitant, and reviewed the little Chinese knowledge he had left, but still didn't find any good choice.
"No... this scene and question, why do I feel like I've experienced it before?" Tang Zheng suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind, "Oh right! Imperial examination, I've participated in the imperial examination many times in the game, I remember taking the Sun Tzu's Art of War many times..."
Stepping out of the Chinese textbooks of primary and secondary schools and turning to the gaming experience he was most familiar with, Tang Zheng suddenly felt enlightened. He wanted to give a big kiss to the planner who created the "Imperial Examination" in the game, which was both entertaining and educational.
Once you have decided on the object to plagiarize, everything else will be fine.
Tang Zheng dipped the brush into ink again, stroked the scroll and picked up the pen.
Leng Buchen saw that Tang Zheng had been thinking for a long time without picking up the pen. He thought that this question, which tested military literacy and talent, was still too difficult for a teacher who made a living by writing.
However, based on his performance in the first round and his outstanding performance in classics, history and poetry, he should still have a chance of ranking in the top ten in the second round of written examination.
Leng Buchen was thinking and preparing to walk away to see if there were any other good candidates, but he found that Tang Zheng suddenly started writing rapidly.
Seeing Tang Zheng's confident look, Leng Buchen couldn't help but feel a little curious again. Could it be that this master who had repeatedly created miracles really knew how to march and deploy troops?
Leng Buchen stopped and looked at Tang Zheng's test paper again.
"War is a major event for mankind, a matter of life and death, a road to survival and destruction, and one that must be carefully considered. Therefore, we must examine it with five things, check it with strategies, and seek out its true meaning: one is the way, two is the sky, three is the ground, four is the general, and five is the law."
Seeing the first paragraph written by Tang Zheng, Leng Buchen's eyes lit up and said, "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, Law? This statement is quite interesting."
As the deacon of Yisu Academy, Leng Buchen was well-versed in military books and had military experience. He was also quite knowledgeable about the art of war. However, he had certainly never seen the five points proposed by Tang Zheng in any military works. However, they seemed to make sense and his curiosity grew.
He simply walked a little closer, and saw Tang Zheng continuing to write in a fluent manner: "The way is to make the people agree with the superiors, to be willing to die with them, to live with them, and not to fear danger. The sky is the yin and yang, cold and heat, and the seasons. The land is the high and low, far and near, dangerous and easy, wide and narrow, life and death. The general is wise, trustworthy, benevolent, brave, and strict. The law is the system of twists and turns, the official way, and the master's use. All these five things must be known by the generals. Those who know them will win, and those who don't will lose."
Leng Buchen was secretly shocked when he saw this, but as an expert who was familiar with the art of war, he still had some reservations and commented secretly: "It's well written. It can be said that it has seen the essence of using troops in battle. It has great potential. I hope it's not just empty talk."
At this time, Tang Zheng was completely immersed in the thought of replicating the Art of War. If it were not for the resonance of Wenqu just now and the entry of the word "Xing" into his body, which caused his IQ to rise to the limit, with his memory, he would not have been able to copy down the Art of War completely.
But now, of course, it’s not a problem.
Tang Zheng was recalling the original version of The Art of War in his mind while removing those parts that were inconsistent with the tactics of Xingyao Continent. He took the ideas and removed the means. He then perfectly filled in the blanks with several major battles in the history of Xingyao Continent according to Sun Tzu's theories on the use of troops. He became more and more excited as he wrote.
"In the art of war, conquering the whole country is the best, and destroying the country is the second best; conquering the whole army is the best, and destroying the army is the second best; conquering the whole brigade is the best, and destroying the brigade is the second best; conquering the whole soldier is the best, and destroying the soldier is the second best; conquering the whole squad is the best, and destroying the squad is the second best. Therefore, to win every battle is not the best of the best; to defeat the enemy without fighting is the best of the best! The best military operation is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities!"
“Knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger; knowing yourself but not the enemy, you will win or lose; knowing neither the enemy nor yourself, you will lose every battle!”
"When you are able, pretend you are incapable. When you are using something, pretend you are not using it. When you are in chaos, take it; when you are strong, prepare for it; when you are angry, frustrate it!"
“Those who are good at defense hide under the nine earths, while those who are good at attack move above the nine heavens. Therefore, they can protect themselves and achieve complete victory.”
Tang Zheng was getting more and more excited the more he copied, but Leng Buchen behind him was getting more and more frightened the more he watched. In the end, he was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly.
Ouyang Luoluo and Li Xiaoren, who were also patrolling the examination room, noticed Leng Buchen's abnormality. Curious, they walked behind Tang Zheng and watched with Leng Buchen.
"It seems like this kid will probably get full marks in the written test..." Ouyang Luoluo looked at Tang Zheng's essay. Although she was not proficient in the use of troops, she still saw the subtlety in Tang Zheng's essay. She couldn't help but smile and praised softly.
Li Xiaoren twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't say anything. Although he didn't like Tang Zheng very much, he had no way to refute Ouyang Luoluo's statement.
This guy's knowledge is truly amazing.
"Full marks?!" Several candidates next to Tang Zheng couldn't help but secretly raise their heads when they heard Ouyang Luoluo's words, feeling frustrated. Could it be that this guy had done something amazing besides the brilliant poem "The Hard Road to Travel" just now?
At this time, Leng Buchen, who was the first to stand behind Tang Zheng, had a stiff face and shook his head firmly.
Seeing that Leng Buchen didn't seem to agree with Ouyang Luoluo's opinion, the candidates secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the chief deacon is the final examiner. Even if Ouyang Luoluo thinks Tang Zheng's writing is very good, it will be in vain if it can't pass Leng Buchen's test.
Not only Ouyang Luoluo, but even Li Xiaoren felt a little strange about Leng Buchen's reaction. In his opinion, Tang Zheng's military paper should be to Leng Buchen's liking.
However, he didn't like Tang Zheng anyway, so he was happy with it and didn't ask any questions.
Ouyang Luoluo was just about to speak up for Tang Zheng when Leng Buchen suddenly took out a fire letter from his waist. Before the two people next to him could react, he directly activated his star power and shot the fire letter straight into the sky.
With a unique and clear cry, a huge and strange pattern of a demon bird bloomed in the sky.
"The message from the Jade Bird?!" Ouyang Luoluo and Li Xiaoren screamed at the same time as they looked at the strange fire message.
The Jade Bird was the biggest threat when the Jade Stone City was first built.
When Leng family ancestor Leng Xianyuan sacrificed himself to solve the problem of the monster, his descendants used this as a warning and set the highest alert level of fire signal in Feishi City to the shape of a jade bird.
Unless there is a disaster that threatens the city's destruction or the extinction of the clan, such fire signals must never be released.
If there were no sufficient reasons, even with Leng Buchen's status and position, he would be severely punished if he rashly released a fire signal of this warning level!
However, the examination room was peaceful and calm, with no signs of trouble. There was no reason to release a fire signal of this level!
"Head Deacon?" Ouyang Luoluo looked at Leng Buchen anxiously.
Leng Buchen waved his hand and said directly: "Tang Zheng's volume today has caught the eyes of the two of you, so it will be locked in your hearts forever and must not be passed on!"
Ouyang Luoluo and Li Xiaoren looked at each other, and an extremely absurd thought arose in their minds - could it be that Leng Buchen released the Jade Bird's letter and it was related to Tang Zheng's last topic? This is too ridiculous!
