Chapter 41 Sun Bin chooses subjects
PS: The third update, the promise is fulfilled as promised.

"Berling, sit down."
As soon as he entered the door, Guiguzi, who had already sat down, waved to Sun Bin with a smile.
I saw Guiguzi in the middle, Wei Liao, Pang Juan and others sat on both sides, and a small meal table was placed in front of them.
And at the bottom, there was a lunch table, which was obviously left for him.
"Yes, teacher." Sun Bin quickly sat down.
I saw that the meal was very simple, a bowl of rice made from corn, a bowl of green vegetable soup, and a bowl of fragrant stew.
“Eat all.”
Guiguzi greeted him and raised his chopsticks to eat.
Seeing Guiguzi start to move, Bai Gui, Sun Bin and others picked up the chopsticks.
In ancient times, dining was very etiquette. Before the elders raised their chopsticks, they could not eat first.
Moreover, there is also the saying that you don’t eat or sleep.
So, in the huge dining room, there was only the sound of people snoring and eating, which seemed very quiet.
After a while, everyone was full and put down their chopsticks.
"Boling, follow me, everyone else study for themselves." Guiguzi stood up, stepped out of the dining hall, and walked straight towards Guigu Cave.
"Yes, teacher." Sun Bin hurriedly followed.
The two entered the Guigu Cave. Sun Bin looked at it curiously: Guigu Cave is very big, more than ten meters wide, and thirty or forty meters deep. It is divided into several functional areas by Guiguzi - meditation, martial arts, reading, sleeping, etc.
At this time, a few candles were lit in the hole to make up for the lack of light.
"Sit down."
Guiguzi sat down on a cushion.
"Yes, teacher."
Sun Bin quickly sat opposite him, raised his chest and raised his head, and sat straight.
"Bo Ling," Guiguzi smiled slightly: "Teaching disciples to teachers and apprentices, and teaching according to their aptitude. What I have learned about military tactics, vertical and horizontal techniques, business ways, astrological divination, health care, governing the country, medical skills, alchemy, Qimen Dunjia, etc., have you ever thought about what you want to learn?"
Oh, I'm going to choose a subject. Sun Bin knew that this was a big deal. He thought about it carefully and looked up and said, "Teacher, my military selection techniques and erectile dynasties, and other things, it's good to have a little bit of digging in."
He has a specialized in his skills and versatility. A versatile talent like Guiguzi is rare in a thousand years, so Sun Bin dares not compare.
"Oh?" Guiguzi seemed a little surprised and pondered: "Can you tell me about it, why do you choose this?"
In Guiguzi's view, military tactics and vertical techniques are two completely different subjects. Few people dabbled at the same time, so they couldn't help but be curious about Sun Bin's choice.
"Reply to the teacher," Sun Bin thought for a while and said, "Now in a chaotic world, countries are constantly conquering and forming alliances. Therefore, military tactics and erectile dynasties are the two easiest things to make achievements."
"Yeah, not bad." Guiguzi nodded in praise: "Then why don't you choose one single party? But what's the deep meaning?"
"Teacher," Sun Bin smiled and said, "The military selection technique is both practical and family-leading. The disciples also consider it. In the eyes of the disciples, war is not isolated, but a continuation of politics and diplomacy, serving both."
"So, an excellent military commander must also be proficient in the art of ergonomics and be able to perfectly control the course of war according to changes in politics and diplomacy. Otherwise, you may be punished if you win, and you may not even win."
In history, most simple military strategists did not have a good ending, and Han Xin and Li Mu's ending was regrettable. However, Li Jing was completely opposite. This person was old for power and scheming, and had a very political mind. Although his military achievements were great, he had a safe life and his reputation was not damaged.
With the lessons of history, Sun Bin certainly cannot repeat the same mistakes.
"War is not isolated, but a continuation of politics and diplomacy, serving both." Guiguzi pondered, repeatedly savoring this classic saying from later generations in his heart, and gradually gaining something.
"It's amazing!" Suddenly, Guiguzi sighed: "Boling, your view of the essence of war is more profound than being a teacher." For a moment, he loved Sun Bin the more he looked at Sun Bin, and he felt that this apprentice was right.
"The teacher is too rewarded." Although he opened his golden finger, Sun Bin was still very happy to be praised by Guiguzi.
Guiguzi was in a good mood: "Then let's settle it. From tomorrow, I will pass on your military strategy and erectile dynasties."
"Yes, teacher." Sun Bin was very happy.
"By the way, in addition to studying, I, Guigu, also need to sharpen my body and will. Therefore, from tomorrow, you will work with your senior brothers to plow the fields, chop firewood, fish and hunt, cook, and practice martial arts. You should not complain or slack off, otherwise you will be punished."
"Ah!?" Sun Bin was stunned. He was only eleven years old and had to do so much work. It was so miserable. He thought that as long as he studied in Guigu, he would not have to worry about anything else.
"Why, are you afraid of hardship?" Guiguzi said lightly, showing the style of a strict teacher.
"No, no." Now, Sun Bin had to bite the bullet and take it upon himself: "Disciples must obey the orders of the master."
"That's good." Guiguzi nodded with satisfaction: "Your senior brother comes from a famous family in the Wei Kingdom, and the third senior brother is also a wealthy family. He can be as happy as hell as hell in the mountains. He will temper himself. I hope you don't let your teacher down."
"Yes, teacher."
Sun Bin was stunned for a moment. The orphan's stubbornness also came up. I will definitely do what others can do.
Looking at Sun Bin's expression becoming resolute, Guiguzi nodded secretly.
"Also, you can read the classics of the Cangwen Cave at will, and you can choose the right weapon in the Cangwen Cave. In addition, this is the schematic diagram of the mechanisms and formations in the valley. You must read them carefully to avoid mistakenly breaking through."
"Yes, teacher."
Sun Bin took a silk book handed over by Guiguzi and carefully packed it up.
You must take a closer look when you go back, otherwise, if you accidentally touch the mechanism, you may lose your life.
"There's nothing else. I'll work hard all the way. Go back early to rest. Get up at the end of the Yin tomorrow and practice martial arts with my senior brothers."
"Yes, teacher."
Sun Bin agreed, but smiled bitterly in his heart: At the end of Yin, it was five o'clock in the morning, is this considered dancing with a chicken?
Looking at Sun Bin's back as he left, Guiguzi couldn't help but stroke his beard and pondered: This son is talented and rare in the world, and he deserves to be the descendant of the military saint. Perhaps his long-cherished wish can be settled in this son?
At this moment, I pounced on her and a white carrier pigeon flew into the hole.
"Huh?" Guiguzi was stunned and quickly raised one arm to let the carrier pigeon circling in the air fall. Then, he took out a small silk book from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet, but there were a few words on it: Seven days later, old friends will come to visit, Mo!
"Haha..." Guiguzi immediately smiled: "This old Mozi hasn't seen him for several years, but he still remembers me, an old friend." He turned the silk book and wrote the number behind his back with a pen: Come quickly, there is fine wine, king!
