Xiao Lang could not answer his sister. He scratched his head with a conflicted expression. After a while, he said, “Then I’ll listen to you my superiors.”
Jian Qingging nodded. “Then you want to be a soldier forever? You don’t want to be a great general anymore?
Xiao Lang shook his head anxiously, “No! I want to be a great general!”
After saying that, he looked conflicted, as if he was thinking about some profound problem.
Jian Qingqing looked at him quietly for a long time before hearing him say,
“Must a great general be well-versed in both literature and martial arts?”
Jian Qingqing asked back, “What do you think? Do you think Big Brother Ming is powerful?”
Xiao Lang nodded his head vigorously, his eyes sparkling.
The news of Ming Zhiyan’s repeated victories had spread, and his classmates in the Academy all worshipped him, Xiao Lang was no exception. He was extremely proud, telling his classmates every day that he was his brother-in-law. Now, Ming Zhiyan had become his favorite person, and he was determined to become a great general like him.
Jian Qingqing also nodded in agreement and said, “I also think he’s powerful, but he’s not just powerful in martial arts. He has a room full of books, and he’s well-versed in both the past and the present. He knows everything, and he can recite the military books backward. That’s why he can use military tactics like a god and win every war with the least number of casualties.”
“To be a great general, one did not just need to be powerful. More importantly, one needed to make good use of talents and make use of the abilities of his subordinates so that each of them would be in the right position.”
“Fighting a war isn’t just about one person, it’s about the whole team. Xiao Lang, do you think you have the ability?”
Xiao Lang seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He shook his head and said weakly, “I’ll definitely study hard in the future.”
Jian Qingqing looked at the three people’s dispirited faces and decided to give them a sweet date. “Of course, I know that you are all much better than many people. I also know that you are very anxious to see Great Wei in trouble and want to do something for Great Wei, but there are methods to do it.”
The three’s eyes lit up, and they asked in unison, “What method?”
“You guys go ahead and give your speeches.”
The three of them were puzzled. “What’s a speech?”
Jian Qingqing said, “It’s similar to a storyteller, but the speech is to express your own opinions and suggestions on the matter of war. It has the effect of
arousing the patriotic awareness of the people and calling for them to unite and fight against the enemy together. You can also write an article and publicize it on the streets. There are so many people in the college. You can form a line and use your own way to contribute to Great Wei. You don’t have to go to the battlefield.”
The three of them pondered for a while before excitedly saying, “Then let’s go and tell the scholars of the Academy about this! Let’s also call our classmates to join us! They will definitely agree!’
Jian Qingqing nodded and watched them leave in a hurry. She was relieved.
Although it was a good thing for Xiao Hu and the others to go to the battlefield from a righteous point of view, in their hearts, they were just three teenagers. The battlefield had no prejudices, and it was too dangerous for them. If anything happened, it would be a very big blow to them as relatives.
Xiao Hu and the other two acted quickly. After they arrived at the Academy, they immediately discussed this matter with the gentlemen.
Under the teacher’s suggestion, they and other students from the same college set up lectures in restaurants, teahouses, markets, and other places. They also wrote many articles for the teacher to read.
After the teacher approved the changes, they took it out for the speech..
