In ancient times, there was a small country called Zhiyuan, and its king was a wise man who was proficient in the art of war and well-versed in human affairs. The king had a young son named Ming Xuan, who was clever and clever, but he knew nothing about the art of war, and preferred poetry and songs, and longed for romance and freedom.
One day, a neighboring country suddenly sent troops to invade Zhiyuan, and the border was in an emergency. The king knew that at this time, the country needed a general who could lead the three armies and defend against foreign enemies. However, although there are many military generals in the DPRK and China, no one can shoulder this important responsibility. The king looked at the young Mingxuan and had a plan in his heart.
"Mingxuan, are you willing to share your father's worries and go to the border to defend against foreign enemies?" The king asked.
Although Ming Xuan was surprised, thinking of the safety of the country, he agreed without hesitation. However, knowing that he was not capable of commanding troops, he decided to seek advice from his father.
The king smiled and handed Ming Xuan a yellowed ancient book, which was none other than "The Art of War". He told Ming Xuan: "The art of war is not only the art of war, but also the wisdom of life. What you need to learn is not only tactics, but also how to use wisdom to deal with complex interpersonal relationships. ”
Ming Xuan began to study the Art of War diligently, from which he learned many profound truths. He understood the importance of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles", and also learned the sleek way of "never getting tired of deceit".
Soon, Ming Xuan arrived at the border. He did not rush to attack, but first negotiated several times with the enemy generals. He used his wisdom and eloquence to skillfully resolve the contradictions between the two sides, so that the enemy generals respected him.
At a banquet, Ming Xuan relied on his slick way to make the enemy generals lay down their arms and was willing to sign a peace treaty with him. Using the tactics in The Art of War, Ming Xuan succeeded in avoiding war and winning peace for the country.
The news reached Zhiyuan, and the king was proud of his son's achievements. He knew very well that Ming Xuan had grown from a teenager who only knew poetry and songs to a wise man who could use his wisdom to share the worries of the country.
From then on, Ming Xuan continued to study the Art of War in depth and applied the wisdom of it to the governance of the country. He used his slick way to resolve many crises in the country and make Zhiyuan a prosperous and powerful country.
And the sleek way in "The Art of War" has also become a pearl of wisdom passed down through the ages by the people of Zhiyuan.
