Not long after Fang Wei left, Qu Zheng returned to the Qu residence. He had barely sat down inside when someone reported that Fang Wei had come to see him.

Since Fang Wei and Lan Xi were new to the area and not very familiar with it, this was his own arrangement.

As Qu Zheng sipped his tea, he pondered how to arrange things for Fang Wei and Lan Xi, who had now followed him to Kyoto.

Qu Zheng is a responsible person. Since he brought the two of them along, he should make proper arrangements for them. Especially Fang Wei, who is considered one of his prized disciples. If he achieves something in the future, it will bring him pride.

After finishing his tea, Qu Zheng went to Fang Wei's residence. He knocked on the door but did not hear Fang Wei open it. Upon closer inspection, he found that the door was ajar.

Qu Zheng pushed open the door and looked inside, finding that Fang Wei was indeed not in the room. Just as he was about to close the door, he noticed that there were writing materials on the table, including many pieces of paper with writing on them.

He knew Fang Wei well; if he were to write, it would be for cultivation. Fang Wei had already reached the Law level and didn't need to cultivate rhythm on paper at all.

Thinking about this, Qu Zheng suddenly became curious about what Fang Wei would write.

Driven by curiosity, he went into the room, walked to the table, picked up a piece of paper covered with writing, and began to read it.

At first glance, it didn't seem like much, but as he read on, he gradually became shocked.

"When an army of 100,000 is mobilized and marches a thousand miles, the daily expenses for the people and the government amount to a thousand gold pieces; internal and external unrest causes 700,000 households to be unable to work due to travel disruptions..."

"This, this, this is military strategy?" Qu Zheng said, his face full of disbelief.

He was shocked, but his hands didn't stop moving. To confirm whether what he had written was indeed military strategy, he quickly collected all the papers filled with writing and began to examine them carefully, one by one.

After seeing the second picture, he was shocked again. By the time he saw the third picture, he was beyond shocked.

After reading all 13 articles, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

If Fang Wei had only written one or two pieces, it wouldn't be anything special, but there are a total of 13 pieces here. Although the number of words is not large, only a few thousand, the content is all-encompassing and profound.

The topics covered are numerous, including the laws of war, philosophy, strategy, politics, economics, diplomacy, astronomy, geography, and so on.

This military treatise is extraordinary; Qu Zheng has never seen a military treatise that discusses warfare in such detail. This is remarkable; it is no longer a simple military strategy, but can be considered a culmination of military theory.

He began to doubt whether this was really written by a boy who was only 16 years old.

It's incredible that a 16-year-old boy who has never experienced war could write such a detailed military treatise.

Are we born with this knowledge?

No, there is no such thing as innate knowledge. This can only mean one thing: Fang Wei is indeed a clear-headed person with extraordinary talent.

That's amazing.

If this military treatise were to circulate, it would be truly extraordinary, undoubtedly shocking the world and potentially leading to bloodshed due to human scrambling for it.

Qu Zheng tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and calm himself down. After a while, he looked through the military book again.

Although he had seen it once before, he gained even more insights after watching it again.

"This military treatise is truly remarkable, absolutely extraordinary. Calling it the culmination of military strategy is an understatement. It can be called the ancestor of military strategy. Its emergence will overshadow all previous military treatises."

After reading Qu Zheng's work for the second time, he muttered to himself somewhat awkwardly. He was unaware that his muttering had already established the value and status of this military treatise.

Unprecedented, unheard of.

Unprecedented and unparalleled.

These words can all be used in this military treatise without appearing exaggerated.

After reading the military treatise a second time, Qu Zheng was still undecided about how to handle it and how to settle Fang Wei. After standing there pondering for a long time, he finally made a decision.

This military treatise certainly cannot be published, at least not now. If it were to circulate later, that would be a matter for the future.

Qu Zheng put down the military treatise and then searched the table to see if there were any other treatises besides the thirteen.

Sun Tzu's Art of War only has thirteen chapters, so Qu Zheng was destined to be disappointed.

After searching carefully, he found no more papers with writing on them. Disappointed, he also understood that these thirteen chapters on military strategy were probably the culmination of a lifetime of effort; to ask for more would be asking too much.

After finding no more, Qu Zheng compiled thirteen military treatises and left with them.

Qu Zheng did not return to his residence, but left the Qu Mansion directly.

Qu Zheng's destination was the Prince's Mansion, the residence of the three high-ranking officials.

In the Kingdom of Chi, the three most powerful families are the Zhang family, the Qu family, and the Wang family. This is something even a three-year-old knows.

Among the Zhang, Qu, and Wang families, there is no clear distinction in strength, but the Wang family is still the most powerful among the scholars.

Wang Yunzhi of the Wang family facilitated the alliance between the Chi Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom twenty years ago, and then broke through to the Heavenly level. She is currently the highest-ranking scholar in the Chi Kingdom, and also the scholar most likely to advance to the Dao level.

The Wang family established its name with the character "志" (zhi), meaning ambition or aspiration. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, the Wang family has always prioritized the nation over their own family, taking the country as their mission. As a result, several generations of outstanding scholars in the Wang family have dedicated their lives to serving the country.

Among the three families, the Qu family is the weakest in terms of the number of scholars, currently only having the Earth-level scholar Qu Zheng.

Because the names of the Qu and Wang families share some similarities, the Qu and Wang families have been on friendly terms for generations. Even though the Qu family is slightly weaker in the present day, it is not a big problem.

Qu Zheng went to the Wang family at this time, and he brought military books with him, so he was naturally looking for Wang Yunzhi.

When Qu Zheng arrived at the Wang family's residence, Wang Yunzhi was sitting leisurely drinking tea.

"Yunzhi, you seem to be living a carefree and relaxed life, so leisurely," Qu Zheng said jokingly as soon as he saw Wang Yunzhi.

Wang Yunzhi dedicated his life to the country, always putting the nation before his family. It was extremely rare to see him leisurely drinking tea now that the Hegemon Kingdom was about to attack.

"Oh, Qu Zheng, you've come at the perfect time. I just bought some top-quality tea. Come and have a taste." Wang Yunzhi said as she poured tea for Qu Zheng.

At this moment, Qu Zheng's mind was only on the military book written by Fang Wei. This military book was too perfect, and he wanted to share it with Wang Yunzhi as soon as possible.

But seeing Wang Yunzhi leisurely drinking tea, he suppressed his thoughts. Qu Zheng wondered to himself, could something good have happened? Otherwise, why would Wang Yunzhi be drinking tea so leisurely?

"Yunzhi, you're drinking tea so leisurely, something good must be about to happen."

"Haha, to be honest, according to Qu Zheng, tomorrow is the day Wang Zhihuan returns to the capital. Not long ago, Wang Zhihuan sent back a message saying that he had met with the Emperor of Yan, so he should have already brought reinforcements. I am very happy."

Wang Yunzhi couldn't contain her emotions and said with a face full of joy.

"I see, no wonder Yunzhi is so relaxed."

Hearing Wang Yunzhi's words, Qu Zheng was overjoyed. He had just received a book on military strategy from Fang Wei; this book was exceptionally perfect and could be considered the ancestor of military strategy. Wasn't this a double blessing?
