296 The night before the reshuffling (1/2)
_Moon Lake, Book collection hall_
Jiang Shang and Sun Wu had a long conversation, and both of them had developed a close relationship. Seeing Ouyang Shuo and Baiqi visit, they both looked at each other and smiled.
”Greetings, Taigong!”
Jiang Shang nodded his head, pointing at Sun Wu next to him and saying, ”This is Sun Wu.”
Ouyang Shuo his heart trembled. ”Greetings, war saint!” Baiqi, who was filling behind Ouyang Shuo, bowed immediately upon seeing that the person was the master philosopher of war, Sunzi.
Sunzi tilted slightly to the side. ”I suddenly come to visit and made you come personally, sorry for the inconvenience.”
”The gates of Shanhai City are always opened to any talent in the world.” Ouyang Shuo continued. ”You have came from afar, I've prepared a mansion in the official residence area for you; I hope you will accept it.”
”I accept your good intentions. Unfortunately I've already retired and have no plans to return, I just want to be a hermit and live together with Taigong on the Fallen Star Island. I hope you accept it.” Sun Wu rejected him.
Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart. ”We do not force anyone, and everyone must all be willing. Since you want to be a hermit, I won't interfere; I just feel a little regretful.”
This magnanimity was something Ouyang Shuo had.
Ouyang Shuo's answer wasn't what he had expected, instantly winning his good favor. “Thank you lord for allowing me!”
”Don't mind me asking, are you being a hermit to correct and change <the art=”” of=”” war=””>?”
”That's right!” Sun Wu replied honestly.
”You changing and improving the philosophy of war, is it to pass it on to the next generation?”
”That's right!” Sun Wu's eyes froze.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and suddenly his direction changed. ”What do you think of our University?”
”Your views are advanced and teach both knowledge and values.” A glimpse of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
”Since that is so, there's an even better place for you to live at!”
”Please speak!”
”Beside Xinan University is another empty space, we were preparing to build another university there. To rule this land, one needed be well rounded. Xinan University is a place of knowledge, but the other university would be a general cradle.”
”The marquis is a genius!” Sun Wu didn't understand and asked, ”What does that have to do with my living arrangements?”
Ouyang Shuo explained, ”The planned university would be called the Army Military Academy and its the education institution in training army generals, and also where martial arts is taught at. The academy will be split into infantry, cavalry, engineer and supplies, with 3 classes A,B and C.
”Classes A and B will focus on military discipline like metaphysics, fortification, weapons, military science, hygiene and so on. They will also learn the military process like the ”Dian”, ”Fan” and ”Ling”. The C class will learn the basic disciplines and basic military processes like chinese, ethics, painting, equipment, arithmetic, history, infantry exercises, array orders and so on. Then they will be split up into their specific subjects.”
As Ouyang Shuo finished, Sun Wu didn't say a word; even Jiang Shang and Baiqi were totally absorbed.
Especially Baiqi who was in charge of conscripting and building the 3 divisions. He knew that what the army lacked was generals. If they were able to build such a military academy, it would be a huge achievement.
Sun Wu kept silent. This was because most of what he wrote in the Art of War was included in the teaching program and this was a perfect place for him to spread his teachings.
Not only that, he could make use of this academy to perfect his book and teachings.
Jiang Shang looked at Ouyang Shuo with a complicated expression before turning to Sun Wu, ”Just as the marquis has said, the Army Military Academy is perfect for you to be a hermit at.”
”Not only that, I promise that the moment the academy is completed, I'll build another building and move all the military and war related books and secret manuals over.” Ouyang Shuo threw down another bait.
Sun Wu laughed. ”The marquis is expectedly amazing. I'll admit it, I've been convinced.”
Ouyang Shuo was delighted, and instantly a notification sounded out in his ear.
”System notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for convincing saint rank historical person Sun Wu to live in Shanhai Territory, rewarded 3000 merit points, 15 thousand reputation points.”
Following which was another one.
”System notification: War Saint Sun Wu has decided to move to Shanhai territory triggering [Ancient Philosophers]-philosophy of war extension, people believing in the philosophy of war will start to appear in the wilderness!”
The moment the notification sounded, the world was in an uproar.
The quiet country channel instantly started buzzing.
”Brother Wuyi, accept me!”
”Such an amazing life need no explanation, brother Wuyi is a beast!”
”Why is all the good things taken by Qiyue Wuyi, I, Zhao Ritian, can't accept it!”
”Brother Wuyi fan club is recruiting, please contact sister Ruhua”
”Ruhua, why are you here, go home and take your medicine!”
”Brother Wuyi support group is recruiting please contact sister Furong”
