Chapter 25 Mysterious Man

The next time, the oriental fish belly is white for the first time, and Xu said that it will not rise.

When the soldiers and civilians in Xiakou City were not awake, Liu Feng had already got up from **. After washing the bathroom, he opened the wooden door on the side of the bedroom and stepped into the ink-scented pavilion.

The morning light squeezed into the cabinet through the cracks of the window and looked around. There was a wooden frame of more than one person under each of the three walls, which was neatly filled with a volume of books. On the sandalwood red case in the middle, there are several volumes of book slips randomly displayed, and the ink on the inkstone next to it is not dry.

This is Liu Qi's study.

At the beginning, Liu Qi ceded the house to them. Liu Feng only knew the room he lived in, and the next door was his brother's study. He had not paid much attention to it before. If it hadn't been for Xu Shu's call last night, Liu Feng had forgotten that he had hidden a room next door where he slept.

In this troubled times, for ordinary people, a car of books is not as precious as two taels of rice, but for people like Liu Feng who are unwilling to be lonely, these things are more important treasures than gold.

Liu Feng is determined to seize the time to enrich his knowledge while practicing martial arts, so he plans to use all his spare time to read the books left by Liu Qi from today.

Liu Feng first circled around the bookshelf and swept it roughly. There are at least hundreds of books in the collection here, such as the Book of Changes, University, Spring and Autumn, Han Fei, Confucianism and Taoist soldiers, and classic works of all schools. At first glance, Liu Qi is indeed a person who loves learning.

Liu Feng casually looked through the books about Confucian academics. These books were placed neatly, but they were covered with an extra layer of dust. Most of the other books were the same.

'Well, it seems that my brother just loves to collect books, but he may not like to read books.'

In today's troubled times, the general's art of war is the first thing to learn. After turning around, Liu Feng took out a volume of "Sun Tzu" from the bookshelf.

Holding a heavy letter, Liu Feng carefully put it flat on the bookcase, wiped off the dust on it with his sleeve, and gently unfolded the book letter. After reading the beginning, he had a little headache. After reading it with his surname, he soon felt dizzy.

Although Liu Feng's Chinese level in school is not bad, the biggest headache is the ancient Chinese. The volume of "Sun Tzu" in front of him is obscure and difficult to understand, but it is still full of dry and boring Dali. For Liu Feng, a modern person, it is really more boring to read than doing calculus.

"Well, if only there were vernaculars." Liu Feng shook his head and sighed with emotion, with a helpless expression.

Liu Feng stiffened his head and read it again. He could only intermittently understand some from the chewing words, but due to his poor level of ancient Chinese, most of the content could not understand the author's true meaning. After half an hour of torture, Liu Feng felt that he would vomit if he continued to read, so he had to give up temporarily.

"I can't help it. Keep this book first. It seems that you have to read some simple books first, and then read this grandson after improving the level of ancient Chinese.

Liu Feng picked up the briefs regretfully and planned to put them back in place. However, just as he put down the briefs, a scroll of books next to him that he inadvertently glanced at caught his attention.

The dust stains on the briefs were removed, and four powerful words were printed in the eyes - Sun Tzu's annotations.

With curiosity, Liu Feng returned to the desk with this volume of "Sun Tzu's Notes", which was several times heavier than "Sun Tzu". When he opened it, he knew that this was actually a volume of reading notes about Sun Tzu's Art of War. The author of the notes reinterprets each article of Sun Tzu's Art of War with some examples from ancient times to the present, and also attached his analysis and understanding of these cases.

The words of the notes are not only far less difficult and obscure than Sun Tzu's Art of War, but also vividly attaching examples. It is not only not difficult to read, but also very vivid.

However, the suspicious thing is that this note does not indicate the author. There are traces of random correction on the note. It seems that it is not an ancient collection, and the handwriting is not like Liu Qi's.

"With Zide's ability, I don't think I can write this thing. Who will this note be?" Liu Feng's heart was full of doubts.

However, this suspicion is not important to Liu Feng. Now he is worried about how to improve his military level as soon as possible, and this unexpected note is really a treasure for him. Liu Feng immediately held the grandson's annotation and studied it greedily.

It took three days for Liu Feng to roughly read this note. Now he is convinced that this note must be done by contemporary people, because in the note, the author quoted a large number of contemporary examples, especially about Cao Jian, such as the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Zhangxiu, the Battle of Xuzhou, etc., which made a detailed analysis.

At the end, the owner of the note also made a six-character evaluation for Cao Wei: longer than skill, shorter than brief. According to Liu Feng's understanding, it is quite excellent in tactics, but it is not strategic.

"Cao Shen won more and lost less in his life, wiped out the heroes, and almost unified the world. This man actually criticized others for being short of strategy. I don't know which arrogant guy actually has such a big tone."

Liu Feng grinned sarcastically, but when he looked down again, his disdain gradually convered.

The author of the notes took the Battle of Guandu as an example, pointing out that before the war, Cao Qian's anxiety was abnormal and he thought he could not compete with Yuan Shao. It was only after Xun Yu analyzed and pointed out that he had a reason to win. After the battle entered the staleous stage, Cao Qian's confidence wavered again and wrote to Xun Yu that he planned to retreat. It was after Xun Yu analyzed the situation and interests for him again before he gave up the idea of retreating.

In the battle of Guandu, it was Xun Yu who made the greatest strategic contribution, and Cao Qian's surprise attack on the nest was just the icing on the cake, which just gave full play to his tactical advantages.

After this analysis, the owner of the note praised Cao's advantages over others, which made up for his shortness of strategy to some extent.

"Well, this man's evaluation of Cao Qian is well-founded. In this way, Cao Qian is not invincible. No matter how strong a person is, he will also have his shortcomings. Who will he be if this man can see Cao Zhen so thoroughly? Why do you have this person's notes in Liu Qi's hand?

Liu Feng has a strong interest in the mysterious author of his grandson's annotation. Since Liu Qi can have his notes, it means that this person knows Liu Qi, or Liu Biao's subordinates may also be. However, Liu Feng counted the counselor generals of Liu Biao's Kui Yue, Kui Liang, Han Song and so on, and couldn't find a person who seemed to match.

When he was thinking hard, the soldiers outside came to report that Liu Qi asked him to talk about it.

Liu Feng was refreshed: "Yes, I want to know who this person is. Don't you know if you ask Liu Qi?"
