As soon as Zhang Mu said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Even if I don’t understand the severity of the Three Kingdoms, I think what Chen Ying said is reasonable.

When Zhang Wen heard this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Of course, Chen Ying was waiting for Zhang Mu to fall into the trap.

"You just said that I'm talking about military affairs on paper, so I want to hear, what are you going to have? Don't be able to say that Zi Chou Yin Mao will go home to drink milk in a while." Chen Ying immediately sneered, and there was a burst of laughter around him.

Zhang Mu looked at the people around him coldly and said lightly: "You are not happy to say that you are talking about war on paper and scholars are angry. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a wine bag. Because you only know one thing, not the second. Zhuge Liang, the Three Kingdoms, came to the fore and said that Cao Wei is not a country that will soon perish. Do you admit this?"

"Naturally, the Cao Wei soldiers have many generals and occupy thousands of miles of fertile land in the north. Sima Yi is also very talented and has a very good country, and it is indeed not a country that can quickly perish." Chen Ying sneered.

"Okay, let me ask you, after Liu Bei lost Jingzhou, Yizhou was not a place of progress. Do you agree with this?" Zhang Mu asked again.

"So, there are mountains outside Yizhou and fertile land inside. How can it be said that it is not an enterprising place?" Chen Ying shook his head and said.

"You are stupid, but you are still breathing. Yizhou is now Sichuan. It is surrounded by mountains and steep mountains and the Chengdu Plain in the middle. It is evergreen in all seasons, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, and rich resources. So when you arrive at this place, you can take refuge, maintain your achievements, and it is difficult to attack. If you lose the barrier of Jingzhou, Yizhou has become an isolated land. Yizhou is just a domineering place, so it is not a land of progress. Do you admit it or not?" Zhang Mu asked again.

"Okay, what you said makes sense. But this just shows that Zhuge Liang was a big shot in Yizhou and secretly traveling to Chencang? Why did he have to go out of Qishan seven times and fight in the north?" Chen Ying sneered, waiting for Zhang Mu to make a fool of himself.

"This is your stupidity. If you read "The Memorial to the Emperor" carefully, it says that the late emperor's business was not halfway through, but the middle way collapsed; today, the lower three points are, Yizhou is exhausted, and this is really a critical autumn of survival. I will ask you, what is this critical autumn of survival?

Could it be that Cao Wei was attacking Shu Han at this time? Is it that Eastern Wu was attacking Shu Han? It seems that there is no such thing as this, so why is it a crisis of survival? There is only one explanation, and there are many internal contradictions in Yizhou.

As everyone knows, before the Tang Dynasty, the gentry ruled the world. In the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the gentry reached its peak. Liu Bei entered Sichuan, and the gentry roughly dominated the Jingzhou sect, followed by the Dongzhou sect, and the local sect belonged to the lowest level. However, after Liu Bei's death, Jingzhou was lost, and these gentry were ready to move.

Secondly, the later ruler Liu Chan was foolish and incompetent. Although he respected Zhuge Liang very much, he hated him to the core. This can be explained by Liu Chan's refusal to build a temple for him after Zhuge Liang's death.

In addition, Li Yan, who was also the minister of the orphanage, was eyeing Zhuge Liu. Not to mention how his old ministers under Liu Bei thought of Zhuge Liang.

Although Meng Huo was pacified in the south, he was still full of dangers. Among the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, Wu, Shu was the weakest, and internal and external troubles. What would you do if you were Zhuge Liang?"

"I..., I killed all those who didn't listen to me." Chen Ying said disdainfully.

"Hahahaha." Zhang Mu slapped the table and laughed: "So you are stupid. Only idiots like you can do things that hurt your relatives, enemies are happy, kill each other, and destroy oneself." Zhang Mu said here, then drank a glass of wine and continued.

"Since Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Wei was not a country that was quickly destroyed and Yizhou was not an enterprising place, he still insisted on the Northern Expedition because he was truly talented and stubborn. He knew in his heart that there was no chance of victory, but he had to persist. Because the reason was very simple, he would first fight against foreign countries.

Zhuge Liang's worries were within the Xiao Wall. In this case, he had no choice but to adopt such a policy, which was to govern the country according to law at home and launch wars outside. Wars were very beneficial to divert attention, strengthen cohesion, and suppression of the opposition. This is called the need to rebel against foreign countries first.

The second reason is that small countries must strive for strength. The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were the weakest. Zhuge Liang had to keep Shu in war ready at all times. It would be better to give it a try than to sit back and wait for death. Maybe there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Facts have proved that his method was right.

The reason why Zhuge Liang is called Zhuge Liang is because of his broad mind, talent, vision and ambition. Even in such a dilemma, he still maintained peace for 30 years of Shu Han. Do you really think that governing the country is like cooking a small freshman? Do you really think that reading a few books can govern the world?

Do you know how many stones of grain acre of paddy field produces a year? Do you know how much supplies a 10,000 army needs? Do you know what the poor people in the world expect most?

You don’t know these things, you only know that Confucius said, “Chengren” and “Meng said, “God of righteousness”, “What kind of benevolence do you know? What kind of righteousness is? I only think about the ten years of Hanchuan, and I heard all over the world, but I don’t know why I have to have been in the past ten years of hard work. A scholar like you is not as good as a merchant or a prostitute. At least they pay taxes to the court, and your books are all in the dog’s belly!

If you don’t talk about others, just say that you will go to your Majesty for life, fighting in the north and south. Even now, you will be able to handle national affairs all night long and be cautious. Why? It is because Your Majesty knows what the people want, and water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. If you have the Tao, there will be many helps, but if you lose the Tao, there will be few helps.

Kill all those who oppose you? Can you kill all the people in the world? Put away your innocence and make it so stupid, it makes people laugh."

Zhang Mu's whole story completely blocked Chen Ying, especially when he finally brought out the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang, would you dare to say that, right?

For a moment, Chen Ying's face was hot and hot, just like slapping him on the face and slapping him in the face, making him dizzy, blushing, not saying a word, not standing or sitting, and speechless.

When Zhang Wen saw this, he was shocked for a moment, but he was unwilling to let Zhang Mu succeed, so he stood up and said, "Is this reading of history? Only when you read and me can you have a taste. We scholars, first read good books, cultivate ourselves and manage our family, and then we can govern the world. We all sit down and talk. Sit down and talk."

Everyone looked at Zhang Mu with surprise, because it was hard to imagine that this was something that only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child could say.

Yan Su secretly gave Zhang Mu a thumbs up and said to himself: "This kid has walked Chen Ying in in a few seconds. It's not simple."

Professor Wen stroked his beard and secretly admired him. He had unique ideas, clear ideas, good eloquence, and insight into the world. He said in his heart: "This kid, for a while, is afraid of becoming a great man. It's rare, really rare."

Everyone sat down and calmed the atmosphere for a while. Chen Ying stopped talking like a frost-beating eggplant.

Zhang Mu knew that this was not the end, and Zhang Wen should come on the next one.
