He looked up and saw that the door was closed. He didn't know what the weather was like outside. Anyway, Li Mengxi felt that a long time had passed.

Li Mengxi stood up and walked to the door, pushing it open with a creak. Li Mengxi looked outside and looked at the sky. Although it was not too late, it was obviously afternoon.

Only three papers have been published, and there are still more than ten papers that have not been published. The original plan was to finish the papers in one day and then take the test tomorrow, but now it seems that I am a little optimistic.

After thinking about it, Li Mengxi called the soldiers wandering in the yard and asked the soldiers to inform Jian Yong that the questions were not ready yet and that he would wait one or two days for the imperial examination to be taken again.

When the soldiers went to find the residence of the Zhuozhou scholars, they found Jian Yong and said, "The military advisor has an order, but the questions have not been finished yet. The exam needs to wait for another one or two days. There will be no exam tomorrow."

Hearing this news, the scholars who were taking the time to review their knowledge breathed a sigh of relief and were somewhat thankful that postponing the exam meant that they could study for a few more days.

Li Mengxi spent more than half a day writing the test papers for more than a dozen subjects in preparation for the exam.

There are still more than a dozen subjects remaining.

Then, when writing a volume on "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Li Mengxi thought that how to write questions for this subject was nothing more than filling in the blanks silently, just like the Confucian classics volume.

In addition to this, it may be possible to examine the level of analysis and understanding of the art of war by the scholars.

Among the sages' works on the art of war, Li Mengxi only read one volume of Sun Tzu, and he indeed learned from Guan Yu from scratch. Therefore, Li Mengxi had a clear understanding of learning, so he simply based on his own understanding while studying.

Wrote some additional topics.

For example, Li Mengxi wrote a question, [Ask, what are the thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu's Art of War from top to bottom?

And why did Sun Tzu arrange the upper and lower chapters in this way when compiling The Art of War? Is there a profound meaning, or is it just random?

If there is a deep meaning in it, what is the deep meaning and it can be explained.】

Also, "If someone is proficient in the art of war and has studied all the strategies, he asks, can he maintain it vertically and horizontally?"

If you can, if not, please explain.]

This was another insight that Li Mengxi had when he was studying the Art of War. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, there are various explanations and various countermeasures about the terrain's dangerous passes and obstacles in the Art of War. Li Mengxi originally admired the wisdom of the sages and regarded Sun Tzu's Art of War as a holy book. But there is one

One day, when encountering a complex terrain, Li Mengxi asked Guan Yu what kind of terrain it was, such as dangerous passes and obstacles. Guan Yu was silent for a long time and could not give an answer that was completely in line with the art of war.

From that moment on, Li Mengxi had some insights. He understood that military affairs were vast and complex, and Sun Tzu's Art of War only contained more than six thousand words, so how could he explain everything?

If there are endless truths, how can we have a basis for everything?

Therefore, even if you read all the art of war, it is not enough to practice it vertically and horizontally.

The complexity of war cannot be 100% summarized in any book on the art of war. Therefore, it is impossible to say that you can win every battle just by familiarizing yourself with the art of war. This is an important insight that Li Mengxi gained when he studied the art of war.

.

There were many similar insights on the art of war, and Li Mengxi casually wrote them as questions into the examination paper. No matter what, this casual extra question became the most essential, weighty and clever question in the art of war volume, directly ranking it higher than the art of war volume.

style and level.

Li Mengxi has not yet finished studying the thirteen chapters and more than 6,000 words of "Sun Tzu". However, he is actually able to write many profound military art examination questions.
