Chapter 199 Who else will come?
Hearing the sarcastic words of this scholar from the School of Diplomacy, Ye Ru smiled faintly, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile:
Confucius said: "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." I do not want to waste my energy on the infighting among the scholars of Yanhuang Kingdom, but unfortunately you do not understand.
These words drew ridicule from many scholars, and one of them shouted:
"Brother Zhang Zhan, show this guy the power of the Zongheng family."
"Don't worry, since no one has any interest in this spot in the erudite class, then let me give it a try and see what this person's talent is like."
Zhang Zhan nodded, a hint of undisguised smugness and contempt appearing on his face. With a flick of his wrist, a folding fan appeared in his hand.
Kong Zhixuan and the others also had a hint of amusement on their faces, as if they wanted to see if Ye Ru was all talk and no action.
As for Zhang Shuling, he looked helpless. Although he was told to be wary of fighting when he was young, the current situation made them unable to settle down and would only lead to their own destruction. Therefore, he could only use this method to make these students feel a sense of crisis.
"Zhang Zhan? So he's from the Zhang Yi family. Zhang Yi was the first to propose the strategy of horizontal alliances. He traveled to Qin and was appointed prime minister by King Hui of Qin. He then went on to persuade various states to use the horizontal alliance to break the vertical alliance, causing the states to change their alliance against Qin to a horizontal alliance with Qin. However, Zhang Yi eventually fled to Wei and died there, which is truly regrettable. His descendants, on the other hand, enjoy the internal strife of the Chinese people and do not follow Zhang Yi's last wishes. It is truly sad."
Ye Ru said calmly, which made Zhang Zhan's face darken:
"Hmph, what do you know? You're just a petty man, worlds apart from us sage families. Our ancestors traveled to various states, expanding Qin's territory. King Hui used our ancestors' strategies to seize the lands of the Three Rivers, annex Ba and Shu to the west, take Shangjun to the north, capture Hanzhong to the south, encompass the Nine Yi tribes, control Yan and Ying, secure the strategic pass of Chenggao to the east, and seize fertile lands. He then broke the alliance of the six states, forcing them to submit to Qin in the west. His achievements are still felt today. Isn't he truly a great man? With a single outburst, the feudal lords tremble; with a moment of peace, the world is at peace. Who in the world possesses the talent of our ancestors?"
"Without Su Qin, Zhang Yi and Zhang Sheng would have remained nothing more than poor scholars with no way to serve their country. Without Zhang Yi, how could you consider yourself superior and regard yourself as a member of a noble family?"
Ye Ru sneered, his words laced with sarcasm.
"How dare you insult my ancestors?"
Zhang Zhan's face darkened completely, and his inner talent surged outward from his study, causing everyone around him to take several steps back.
"No, it's just a lament that Zhang Yi and Zhang Sheng were so glorious in life, but after their deaths, their descendants relied on their ancestor's protection to bully the weak and fear the strong, which is a disgrace to the aristocratic family."
Ye Ru shook his head and said.
"Today, I will make you regret it."
With a wave of his folding fan, Zhang Zhan's energy transformed into countless orange spikes, each radiating a chilling light, which then shot out in the next instant.
"roll."
Zhang Zhan's smile was full of arrogance, but as Ye Ru finished speaking, his face suddenly stiffened.
The sharp cone of talent came to an abrupt halt, and the next moment, a silvery talent ten times stronger than Zhang Zhan's talent exploded, transforming into a giant hand that slammed down hard.
boom!
The giant hand grew larger and larger in Zhang Zhan's pupils, and finally, with a loud bang, it sent him flying, coughing up blood. His blood surged wildly, his palace of books trembled violently, and he eventually fainted.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhan was defeated. This scene shocked even the arrogant Kong Zhixuan and others. The other students were even more speechless, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Silver talent? What's that?"
Suddenly, one person gasped and asked incredulously.
"This is the first time I've ever seen this silver aura. How could its attack power be so high?"
The person who had shouted earlier also looked terrified.
"Silver talent? That seems to be a talent only the God of Literature possesses, could it be..."
Zhang Shuling's aged face was also filled with shock as he murmured.
"Who else is going to come? If anyone is dissatisfied, they can come and find me anytime."
Ye Ru looked around and said calmly, but his words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
Ye Ru knew that with only the rank of a student in the imperial examinations, he would definitely be looked down upon, so the best way was to make an example of him.
Moreover, these strategists were most likely sent by the Left Chancellor, so he needed to establish his authority.
"interesting."
Kong Zhixuan smiled slightly and murmured.
"The freshmen literary gathering was noisy and disorderly, and they did not abide by the college rules. What kind of behavior is this? The literary gathering is hereby adjourned. If there are any objections, they can be resolved privately."
Zhang Shuling stepped forward, displaying the authority of an academy professor, and reprimanded him.
As soon as he said that, no one questioned Ye Ru anymore. Firstly, Ye Ru's ruthless methods had intimidated them, and secondly, it was also because of the academy's rules.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed and headed towards their respective dormitories.
"Brother Zhang Guo, where is your schoolhouse?"
Ye Ru stepped off the stage and said to Zhang Guo.
"In the Governing Region, you should be in the Pacifying Region."
"Pingtianxia District? I don't know that."
Ye Ru was taken aback and said.
"You may not know this, but the class is divided into five classes and the academy is divided into four academies: the Academy of Self-Cultivation, the Academy of Family Management, the Academy of Governing the State, and the Academy of Pacifying the World. You are a student in the Broad Learning Class, so you must be in the Academy of Pacifying the World."
Zhang Guo made a "suddenly realized" expression and explained it to Ye Ru.
"I see, I've learned a lesson."
Ye Ru said, then glanced at Yuan Gang, whose face was pale and who staggered backward. He hadn't expected that the boy he had mocked earlier was actually a student in the erudite class, and with such profound talent. If he had the support of poetry attacks, he would probably be several levels higher.
No wonder the other party ignored me before; I felt like a clown in his presence.
The more Yuan Gang thought about it, the more cold sweat he broke out in. In the end, he didn't dare to look at Ye Ru and quickly slipped away.
With the conclusion of the freshman literary gathering, every student of Yingtian Academy returned to their residences to prepare for class the next day.
At Yingtian Academy, the curriculum was divided into courses on the classics of the sages and courses on the six arts, both major and minor. Among them, the classics of the sages were compulsory subjects for all scholars. Generally speaking, the classics of the sages that were compulsory for the erudite class included the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
The military strategists, the diplomats, and other schools of thought were not required to study.
In the evening, with the lights twinkling, Ye Ru took out the "Six Secret Teachings" he had obtained from Hunan and Hubei and began to read it.
This "Tiger's Strategy" is divided into twelve chapters: Military Use, Three Formations, Swift Battle, Necessary Expedition, Military Strategy, Approaching the Border, Movement and Stillness, Drums and gongs, Cutting off the road, Seizing territory, Fire battle, and Fortification. If one can master the essence and profound meaning of these chapters, one's command ability will be no less than that of an ordinary military strategist.
Moreover, these strategies mainly involved fire warfare. Back then, Liu Bei personally led a large army to attack Wu in order to avenge Wu's seizure of Jingzhou and the killing of Guan Yu. However, Lu Xun later burned down seven hundred miles of camps, which directly determined the outcome of the Battle of Yiling. This shows the power of fire attacks.
