Chapter 5, Questions and Answers

If it were not for being guided by the wind and rain since childhood, how could Feng Feiyun have become what he is today, being scorned by all the citizens of Lingzhou City

Feng Wanpeng made a concerted effort to suppress his excited heart, revealing nothing on his face, which remained calm. He continued to test: "How should we understand the saying 'to win hearts is paramount, to capture cities is secondary'?"

If it were the former Feng Feiyun, he would naturally be overwhelmed with gratitude towards this kind and amiable elder brother. However, the current Feng Feiyun looks at the smile on his face and feels disgusted.

Be a victorious strategist in white attire, with remarkable military achievements, and you will undoubtedly make a name for yourself across the world

The wind follows the rain, and the wind flies with the clouds, which is particularly good, much like a close brother. For instance, the first time the wind flew with the clouds mistreated a woman, it was the wind following the rain who arranged it.

"Luck?" Feng Wanpeng furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle: "What a good luck, well said. If it were truly a military campaign, if luck were to be unfavorable, even with a million troops at hand, one could still face a disastrous defeat. Luck! Fortuitous timing! Destiny!"

Steward Liu accepted the order with delight, and although he appeared to be quite aged, his speed was astonishing, as if a gust of fresh wind had swept by; without touching the ground, his figure had already vanished from the hall.

Old Butler Liu's hands trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his face, as he said: "Master, look at Young Master Feng; he is indeed promising. He is not a mediocre person without ambition. His understanding of military strategy and defeating the enemy makes this old servant feel ashamed. If the young lady were to know, I wonder how delighted she would be"

These words are not excessive when applied to the essence of the wind and rain

For instance, every time Feng Feiyun committed wrongdoing outside, it was Feng Suirain who helped him smooth things over, and he would merely mention it casually in Feng Wanpeng's ear, without making a fuss about it.

This person is the elder brother of Feng Feiyun and also the adopted son of Feng Wanpeng

Feng Feiyun followed and walked out of the hall, arriving in the courtyard, pondering his future plans. Cultivation must take precedence; only by becoming stronger can one soar high.

"The battle of the mind is paramount, while the battle of arms is secondary; to subdue the enemy without fighting is the ultimate victory." Feng Feiyun replied

Is this still that good-for-nothing young master Feng?

The wind and rain bring a smile to the face, giving an incredibly warm feeling. Approaching, one would gently pat the shoulder of the wind and clouds.

Feng Feiyun's expression was serious and meticulous, exuding the demeanor of a general!

Feng Feiyun spoke eloquently and with conviction, gesturing with his hands in the air as if simulating the scenario of two armies engaged in battle.

Young, with remarkable cultivation, very handsome, and very elegant

What do you think is the most important factor in a war?" Feng Wanpeng continued to ask without revealing any emotion.

Feng Feiyun had merely flipped through a few pages and had not conducted any in-depth research. This, combined with the question posed by the librarian Feng Wanpeng, instantly left him with a sense of being at a loss for words

If I had known, I wouldn't have said I couldn't recognize a single character. Why bother answering such a ridiculous question

Although this answer may not be entirely accurate, it is not incorrect either. Feng Wanpeng feels that he can begin to reassess his own son.

Even the four young maidens standing at the door were so astonished that they nearly dropped their jaws to the ground, their beautiful eyes filled with admiration, it was simply unbelievable

The future is in one's own hands

If Feng Feiyun truly learns to read, it poses a threat to his future position as the city lord. When necessary, he can be eliminated in the cradle, eradicating the root of the problem.

By the side of the pond's path, a handsome and elegant man approached, dressed in a blue scholar's robe, with a white mysterious iron sword hanging at his waist. Spiritual energy flowed within him; although he appeared to stroll leisurely, each step he took covered a distance of three zhang, and a faint, almost imperceptible white mist emanated from beneath his feet

For example: the Stone Man Ten Thousand Statues Platform, the Misty Ghost Forest, the Eight Trigrams Four Symbols Mountain, and other perilous locations were all established by ancient people based on the formations described in "The Treatise on Soldiers". They incorporated their own research and arranged them according to the topography, geography, and astronomical principles. After thousands of years of nurturing by the earth and the movement of soil and rock, these have formed into numerous magical and dangerous killing grounds.

Since we are already here, we might as well make a name for ourselves at hetushu.com in the Divine Jin Dynasty

He is like a celestial being exiled to the mortal realm; any woman who catches a glimpse of him cannot help but scream

However, when Feng Feiyun saw the intense gazes of Butler Liu and Feng Wanpeng, an inexplicable emotion arose deep within him, an emotion that told him he must not let those who truly care about him lose hope

The "Treatise on Soldiers" has been compiled for thousands of years, with later generations of talented individuals revising it. It not only records military strategies but also includes the arrangement and deduction of formations. Many cultivators study the "Treatise on Soldiers"; some are able to gain insights from it, while others learn the essence of formations, creating devastating killing arrays.

Although you have some insights into military affairs, they are not particularly significant compared to the talents of your elder brother, which are far superior. Feng Wanpeng continued, "Liu Lao, please invite General Ge from the city garrison to come here. Starting tomorrow, let him study military strategy together with General Ge!"

The wind hastily rushed over like the clouds, likely having received news and wanting to investigate the truth behind Feng Feiyun.

Feng Feiyun revealed a faint smile on his face as he looked at the lingering shadow of the spirit boat in the palm of his hand, seemingly anticipating something

However, it is merely a reassessment; a good-for-nothing who has fallen for over ten years, even if a prodigal son returns, it is not an easy task to achieve something significant.

Feng Feiyun has not experienced a real military war with the map and the book, and he truly did not know how to answer this question. After pondering for a long time, he finally replied: "Luck"

If Feng Feiyun is regarded as an unlearned and incompetent second-generation heir, despised by everyone in Lingzhou City, then Feng Suiyu is the epitome of brilliance, exceptionally talented, possessing remarkable cultivation, handsome and charming, and known for his kindness.

One can only brace oneself and proceed forward

Feng Suiyu is merely an adopted son. In order to inherit the position of the Lord of Lingzhou City, he must ensure that Feng Feiyun completely falls from grace, causing Feng Wanpeng to be utterly disappointed in his biological son. Only then will he have the opportunity to become the Lord of Lingzhou City.

The Divine Jin Dynasty governs through military might, engaging in large-scale wars with several other dynasties each year, and even battling against some malevolent sects of the evil path. If one masters the art of warfare and enters the Divine Martial Army, the future prospects are boundless

Steward Liu was overjoyed, for Master Ge was the most knowledgeable strategist in Lingzhou City. The master had invited him to be Young Master Feng's teacher, which clearly indicated the importance placed on Young Master Feng.

In the face of two opposing armies, during the siege and defense of a city, and in the heat of battle, the morale of the soldiers is of utmost importance, followed by the arrangement of troops. If one were to lead a divine army to attack a sinister cult's altar, then the formation becomes particularly crucial

In the eyes of the public, Feng Feiyun and Feng Suiyu represent two extremes, with many even referring to Feng Suiyu as the young lord behind his back, while denouncing Feng Feiyun as scum, a degenerate, and a beast

And God knows whether this fellow www.hetushucomcom is just being whimsical; perhaps in a couple of days he will go out again to flirt with respectable young ladies

For instance, when Feng Feiyun first set fire to the academy, it was also Feng Suiyu who assisted him in planning it.

Is this still the same empty vessel that lacks both literary and martial prowess

This is the first time Feng Feiyun has seen Feng Wanpeng smile

Is this still the same idle heir who squanders wealth without effort

Feng Feiyun gently adjusted his sleeves, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "The 'Treatise on Soldiers' is profound and extensive in content, with deep and rich thoughts, rigorous and meticulous logic, and yet full of variations. It encompasses many aspects, including the contingencies of war, the relationship between war and morale, the role of psychological factors, and the concentration of forces. One could say that the 'Treatise on Soldiers' is not only useful for military campaigns and battles but also applicable to confrontations among practitioners, emphasizing that psychological warfare is paramount, while siege warfare is secondary...

Feng Wanpeng and Liu Guanjia were both utterly shocked at this moment, staring blankly, rubbing their eyes, fearing they had mistaken the person

Re-cultivation may also serve as a further tempering of the mind, which is not necessarily a bad thing; it might even elevate one's realm to a level higher than before

Although Feng Wanpeng is much calmer than Liu Guanjia, he almost got so excited that he slammed the table. Could it be that heaven is favoring me, Feng Wanpeng? This young man does not seem to be the hopeless case I thought. If he can change his past bad habits and work diligently, perhaps he will achieve great things in the future

Feiyun, I have heard that you can read now. Is this true
