In the days that followed, the relationship between Zhao Qinglan and Xiao Yan grew closer, not only earning Xiao Yan's admiration, but also gradually gaining recognition from other students.
On a vibrant spring afternoon, the doors of the academy opened once again, and the students gathered in the exquisite study room, where various ancient books and scriptures were placed on the tables.
Master Li Meng cleared his throat and began today's lesson.
"Today, we will discuss Mencius's philosophy of benevolent governance. Mencius said, 'Benevolence is man, and man is benevolence.' He believed that the foundation of politics is benevolence, and that if a ruler can be compassionate, then there will be peace under heaven," Master explained.
Zhao Qinglan listened and was moved, then stood up and said, "The Master's words are indeed wise, however, kindness should also be comprehensive, not only between rulers and the people, but also between men and women. In many aspects, women are not inferior to men, and they should also have the opportunity to display their talents."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, apparently very interested in Zhao Qinglan's point of view, and continued, "What Zhao Qinglan said is very good, but in the current social and cultural context, can such an idea be accepted?"
Zhao Qinglan smiled slightly and responded to Xiao Yan, "If the idea is right, time will prove everything. Moreover, isn't the progress of a society starting from questioning tradition?"
Xiao Yan nodded with pleasure and looked at Teacher Li Meng, waiting for his comments.
Teacher Li Meng pondered for a moment and finally said, " Zhao Qinglan's perspective is quite insightful. As the saying goes, 'New matters should be approached with caution and secrecy, while old matters should be concluded with caution and secrecy.' When we begin to question and reevaluate certain traditional concepts, a new era has already begun."
In the subsequent discussion of the Confucian classics, Zhao Qinglan always manages to offer such unique insights, which are truly refreshing.
Every other day, the door of the academy creaked open slowly. A young man in a blue silk gown walked in with steady steps. This was Zhao Qinglan, who exuded a unique temperament different from other students. There was a thoughtful atmosphere between his brows, as if he was always planning something.
"Today, we are going to hold a simulated strategy game to test everyone's adaptability and strategic insight under real combat conditions." Xiao Yan glanced at the people present, finally fixing his gaze on Zhao Qinglan, seeming to be particularly interested in him.
Zhao Qinglan, on the other hand, took the opportunity to observe the reactions around him even more deeply.
These young students, although their knowledge is not yet deep, each of them could potentially become someone with military power and ambition in the future.
For her, this game is not just an intellectual competition, but also an opportunity to understand the elite thinking of this era.
At the beginning of the game, each person receives a simulated plot of land and a certain number of troops. The game board is made of extremely delicate wood carvings, depicting various terrains including mountains, plains, and rivers. Each player must find their foothold in these terrains.
Zhao Qinglan was assigned to a small country surrounded by mountains on all sides, with weak military strength and a highly unfavorable geographical location. However, it was precisely these unfavorable conditions that ignited her fighting spirit. First, she carefully studied the geographical environment and quickly made a series of adjustments.
Zhao Qinglan commanded her soldiers to build a series of wooden fences in the narrow passages of the small country to prevent any potential attacks by enemy troops. Then, she set up traps and ambushes in the valleys, making thorough preparations.
Next, she used a team as bait to lure enemy troops deeper into her defensive line. Seeing some small gains, the enemy troops became complacent and fell into the trap set by Zhao Qinglan.
At that moment, Zhao Qinglan ordered a full attack, and ambushes suddenly emerged from all directions, trapping the enemy troops in a confined environment.
enemy troops panicked and fled in all directions, while Zhao Qinglan seized the opportunity to pursue and not only regained all lost territory, but also planted their own flag in the main camp of enemy troops, symbolizing an absolute victory in this simulated war.
Under Zhao Qinglan's leadership, this small country not only quickly stabilized its defenses, but also successfully counterattacked enemy troops with lightning speed, ultimately achieving victory.
"Haha, it's really a surprising victory!" Xiao Yan clapped his hands and laughed.
Zhao Qinglan smiled calmly and said, "War is nothing but using small to conquer big, fighting for every inch, and clever strategists are often highly valued. We just need to grasp the enemy's weaknesses and strike at the most opportune moment."
Xiao Yan's gaze was sharp, sensing that there was a deeper meaning hidden beneath Zhao Qinglan's succinct response. However, between them, there was more of a mutual recognition and testing of each other.
"Well said, 'to win by surprise' is not just a tactic, but also a manifestation of wisdom," Xiao Yan waved his hand, signaling to the other students to put away the chessboard.
"Today's simulation strategy game has brought us valuable experience and insights. Does anyone have any thoughts to share?" Xiao Yan asked openly.
A person named Xiao Chen said with a smile, "I found that to succeed, we not only need a strong defense, but also unexpected attacks. Just like what Zhao Qinglan did, a single strike hit the target!"
Xiao Yan nodded and then said, "Xiao Chen is absolutely right. The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, and only a military commander who can quickly adapt and understand the enemy's situation can lead the troops to victory."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinglan calmly spoke, "War is not just a contest of weapon and manpower, but also a battle of wits and determination. Defense is certainly important, but if we only defend and do not attack, we will eventually be worn down by the enemy. A decisive attack is the best defense."
Xiao Yan involuntarily felt a sense of trust and admiration towards Zhao Qinglan. It seemed that in his heart, this young scholar, Zhao Qinglan, was destined to be an indispensable and brilliant companion on his future battlefield.
"Let's end today's discussion here," Xiao Yan stretched his body and glanced at everyone present, especially pausing for a moment on Zhao Qinglan, his eyes flashing with subtle meaning.
Zhao Qinglan heard Xiao Yan's words, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was a kind of confident smile that was hidden but full of self-assurance. He understood that this was the space intentionally left for him by Xiao Yan, an opportunity for him to demonstrate his intelligence.
