Chapter 1579 The Third Level (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce smiled. "Everyone Cai, why don't you come and answer it."

Cai Yan was a little embarrassed and looked at Zhou Yu with help. Zhou Yu smiled and said, "But it's okay to say it. Even if you are wrong, it's good to be able to confirm it with the general Gao Jian."

With Zhou Yu's encouragement, Cai Yan felt relieved, took a step forward, was generous and said loudly: "For the Tao."

Sun Ce nodded and smiled even more. "What is the way?"

"Sima Fa said: Even if the country is big, war will lead to death. Even if the world is safe, forgetting to fight will lead to danger."

Sun Ce nodded again and turned to look at Zhang Hong. "What does Mr. Zigang think?"

Zhang Hong also thought the answer was good, and Sun Ce nodded, it should be this answer. Although it was not beyond expectations and was somewhat disappointed, it would be a good thing if Sun Ce really thought so. He did not want Sun Ce to be a monarch with a strong military spirit. Confucianism talks about meanness, and does not like monarchs like Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han who are too motivated, and they would rather see monarchs like Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Xiaoming who meet Confucian ideals, even if they are unavailable, they should settle for the second best, and Emperor Xiaoxuan.

Sun Ce turned to look at the graduates and smiled, "Look, men are as good as men, and everyone has a better understanding than General Zhou."

Everyone couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud. Cai Yan was a little unhappy, but could not stop her. She looked at Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu was distracted. Seeing her looking over, she smiled calmly. Cai Yan bit her lip, stepped back, rolled her eyes, and made up her mind to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Sun Ce, and to avenge him as a joke today to tease Zhou Yu.

"Can you understand what everyone Cai means?"

"I understand." A graduate shouted: "We all remember this when Yin Jijiu talked about military tactics."

"You remember, but not someone really understands it." Sun Ce put away his smile and said slowly: "I say something that is unfair. Even a famous scholar like Mr. Zigang, or a talented woman like Cai, may not be able to understand the true meaning of fighting for the Tao."

Someone shouted, "Since that's the case, who can truly understand it?"

Sun Ce laughed, raised his hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet. "Please be careful, let me throw away my bricks and give a brief explanation. When I finish speaking, if anyone has different opinions, please correct me."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. Not only were the graduates of the martial arts lecture halls curious, but even Zhang Hong was aroused and even worried. In the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce defeated Yuan Shao and stabilized the situation in the Central Plains. When he met again, he clearly felt that Sun Ce's mentality was different from before. On the good side, he was more confident and calm, no longer as nervous as before. On the bad side, he was a little conceited and inevitable to act arbitrarily. He really wanted to hear an explanation of Sun Ce's third level and then evaluate it so that Sun Ce would be alert and not be too arrogant.

"Before explaining this question, let's change the topic and talk about scholars." Sun Ce said: "You guys, do you think you are scholars?"

The graduates were silent and had a little complicated mood. Someone glanced at Zhang Hong and others behind Sun Ce. What are scholars? A talent like Zhang Hong and Xun You are scholars. Scholars must not only have knowledge, but also morality, reputation, and recognized by scholars. According to this standard, even Guo Jia and Zhou Yu may not be called true scholars. Guo Jia has a bad reputation and is a famous liar. Zhou Yu lacks knowledge and is regarded as a martial artist, but he is just a little more elegant than ordinary martial artists.

As for them, they never thought that they would have anything to do with the scholars.

"It seems that you don't have such confidence." Sun Ce smiled: "Although you are often called soldiers, soldiers, or soldiers, or soldiers, you are no longer the sages mentioned by the saints. If others do not regard you as scholars, you will not use the standards of scholars to demand yourself. But you have forgotten that scholars have never been the exclusive honor of scholars. Although you cannot be called scholars, scholars cannot be called scholars either."

Everyone was caught off guard. Although the graduates did not understand, Zhang Hong and others were also confused. After Sun Ce's opinion, they were not worthy of being called a scholar?

"Why did the general say this?" Zhang Hong couldn't help asking.

"I dare to ask Mr. Zigang, what should a scholar have to be?

Zhang Hong was slightly stunned and then said, "A scholar is determined to be a Taoist."

"How can we be determined to be the Tao?"

"This..." Zhang Hong understood what Sun Ce meant in a second thought, and was speechless for a moment, but he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. The Master said that a scholar was determined to be the Tao, but he did not clearly say how ambition should be the Tao. Of course, he could find many reasons for how ambition should be the Tao from other classics, but he did not need to argue with Sun Ce on such occasions. Moreover, Sun Ce's ideas were not just a single statement. Although the methods were a bit rough and even a bit rude, his intentions were really good.

"How to be determined to be the Tao?" Sun Ce turned around and asked again. Seeing that Zhang Hong was being asked by him, no one dared to make things boring. He just opened his eyes wide, pricked up his ears, listened to Sun Ce's explanation of his theory, and then looked at his third level. Sun Ce looked around, raised his voice, slowed down his speech, and said almost word by word: "Scholars not only need to read, but also need to practice martial arts. Reading is to know, practicing martial arts is to practice. Not knowing, although it is not possible, it is in vain. Why is practicing martial arts the way to practice? Practicing martial arts is not only to strengthen the body and resist insults, but also to do so.

Understand the fundamentals of the great way. People born in heaven and earth are born with people, and families have their families, and countries have their countries, and the world have their countries. How can they manage their families without self-cultivation? How can they govern their countries without self-cultivation? How can they govern their countries without governing the country? Therefore, those who are determined to be Tao should not only study, but also practice martial arts, cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country, and pacify the world. This is the way of practice. If they do not read, they do not know. If they do not practice martial arts, it is difficult to practice. Although people who do not read can not be called scholars, they only read books and do not practice martial arts, they cannot be called scholars, because they can only sit and discuss the Tao, and cannot even take action. They do not even know whether the Tao they are talking about is true or false."

Sun Ce stopped, glanced around with a bright look, and said loudly: "That is true for people, so is the country. Practicing martial arts does not necessarily mean fighting with people, and practicing wars does not necessarily mean fighting. Just now, everyone said that although the world is safe, forgetting the war will inevitably lead to danger, and it is almost the same. However, not forgetting wars should not be just because of fear, but also a means to make a strong country, just as practicing martial arts to others. People practice martial arts and national wars are the basis of practice. All of you are students in martial arts halls, and you must have heard that the principle that invincibility lies in me and victory lies in the enemy. Sun Tzu said that winning every battle is not a good person; defeating the war without fighting is the highest level of the way of using troops. Practicing wars is not for fighting, but for not fighting."

Sun Ce raised his hand and waved it hard. "This is the third level I want to talk about: fight for the way, fight for not fighting."

The lecture hall was silent, with neither cheers nor doubts. Everyone was pondering, like this, as did the graduates in the hall, and so did Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu and others in the hall.

After a while, a loud laugh came from the corner. "Yangchun is white and snowy, Qu Gao is wicked. General Sun, such a high-profile speech can only be expressed to two or three sons to smile. Don't you feel lonely when facing these ordinary people?"
