Chapter 356 Jiang Yan's Bedtime Story

Although this is what they said, this is the topic that the negative team just debated. The three young boys have to break their previous words and work together with the affirmative team to defeat the enemy...

This strategic problem suddenly reached a deadly level.

Shen Yibai, who was always confident, felt a little weak: "Auntie, how about we wait until the autumn examination is over before practicing this question? This is too difficult. The Ministry of Rites will definitely not ask such a question. I swear on my grandfather's official reputation in the Ministry of Rites for decades." He raised three fingers in unison.

"Pfft," Wei Xinglu was the first to burst out laughing. He exposed the truth, "You missed it. Your logic is not strict. Prime Minister Shen was transferred to the Ministry of Rites from another department. How could he have worked there for decades?"

Shen Yibai rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "How come you remember it so clearly now!"

Wei Xinglu sneered: "Oh, I told you to always treat others as fools, you idiot."

Shen Yibai: “!!!”

Xu Wan looked at Zong Jincheng and asked, "They all think it's difficult. Do you want to give it a try?"

The little devil also found it difficult, but he believed in Xu Wan very much. Just like when he misunderstood that his mother was using the bad official debate topic to embarrass him, in fact his mother was doing it for his own good. He and his friends all grew up very quickly.

"Yes!" Zong Jincheng said proudly, "If mother thinks we can do it, then we can definitely do it. I want to try!"

Xu Wan smiled with relief. If there wasn't a discussion going on at the moment, she would have wanted to go over and touch his head. The little boy was really so well-behaved.

When He Zheng saw his elder brother express his opinion, he immediately followed suit: "Then I will join too!"

Wei Xinglu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're following really fast. I'm..."

"I'll come too!" Shen Yibai interrupted, "Without me in this lineup, there's absolutely no way to come up with the most perfect plan!"

Wei Xinglu: “…………”

Zong Wenxiu thought about it and said, "Then I'll give it a try. Even if I can't figure it out, at least I've thought about it, instead of backing off before trying."

Wei Xinglu felt that he had been chosen. He sighed and said, "Then it would be unreasonable for me not to come. The five of us in the key class are one group. We should go together!"

Unity of intention and common goal.

On the table in front of the five young boys were blank papers and pens. They wrote and drew on the papers, starting to sort out their thoughts and imagine what methods they could use to defeat the enemy.

Shen Yibai was the first to raise his hand and said, "How about using firecrackers? Just like when Jin Cheng set off firecrackers before, he accidentally killed 3,000 chickens next door. That was a huge loss."

When the little devil saw that his true colors were exposed, he immediately retorted: "Those chickens are timid and cannot hear the sound of firecrackers. They were frightened to death, not killed by the explosion. Do you think people are the same as chickens? Even if I throw firecrackers at you, I can't kill you."

Wei Xinglu: "Attack with fire. This is the most direct way. Burn them all to death."

He Zheng: "But there was no wind that day, and the terrain was not favorable to us. A pure fire attack could not create the same effect as the Battle of Red Cliffs. It was difficult to achieve."

"What about firecrackers and fire attack?" Zong Wenxiu said, "Make firecrackers that are easy to explode and burn. After the explosion, countless sparks will be emitted and burn on the enemy's body."

The little devil said: "It's useless to just burn sparks, right? Unless they have something like oil on their bodies to help them burn, it won't cause fatal damage."

Shen Yibai slammed the table and said, "Then can we find a way to make them all covered in oil? For example, replace the water they bathe in with oil."

Everyone: “…………”

Wei Xinglu was tired of complaining: "Listen to it yourself, is it reasonable? Can he not tell the difference between people taking a bath with water and oil? Is he a fool? Also, how can the oil be transported to the enemy? How can it be replaced with bath water for everyone? Do you know how many spies are needed to complete this?"

Shen Yibai was not a man who was always fighting. He didn't care about Wei Xinglu's sudden attacks. His mind was still spinning wildly: "Ah... I thought of another one, the Sparrow Soldiers!"

Everyone looked at it, they didn't know what it was.

Zong Jincheng read a lot and memorized quickly, so he understood first: "Are you talking about the incident in which Xue Rengui used hungry sparrows to burn the enemy's rations and grass?"

Shen Yibai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's him. One night I couldn't sleep, and Master Jiang told me this story to coax me to sleep. I was shocked for a long time. I didn't expect the power of animals to be so terrible. There is no need to sacrifice a spy or charge into the battle line. Just tie a small paper bag of sulfur and gunpowder to the sparrow's claws, and all the enemy's food and grass can be burned."

If the grain and straw are burned out, defeat is inevitable.

The five young boys found a way to defeat the enemy, and quickly looked at Xu Wan excitedly, hoping that she would say it was feasible.

Xu Wan was still not in a hurry, but handed the right of judgment to the five private teachers: "What do you think, teachers?"

The five private tutors listened attentively, especially after hearing Jiang Yan talking about this unpopular battle in the middle of the night while trying to coax others to sleep. They also began to secretly study how to tell some such stories someday, so that at the next seminar, they might be able to see their own students show off.

Zhao Yin smiled and said, "The five of them have matured their ideas. The Sparrow Soldiers Battle did happen. But you know history, and so do others. It is almost impossible for famous battles in history to happen again, because the enemy will have been prepared and will not be able to achieve a surprise victory."

He Zheng said weakly: "Ah... But this is our history, not Youguo's history... And this is such an unpopular strategy, the enemy generals are all rough and unrefined, maybe they can't think of this strategy?"
