Chinese War Book Novels & Stories

When she found it, she took it home with her. The Art of War was a famous ancient Chinese text written by Sun Tzu, a general who served as the Chancellor of Shu during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In the book, Sun Tzu wrote about war and strategy. One of the greatest lessons he taught was to remain calm, even when facing your enemies. Jewel opened up the book and turned to chapter four. It was titled, "Know Your Enemy."

I also prayed earnestly that he didn’t forget me here. I spotted a bookshelf at the far end of the room and decided to look through it in hopes of finding something to read. The majority of the books were about werewolves and the pack’s history. There were also books about politics, war, and governance. I would have loved to pick up the book that contained information on all members of the Crescent Moon Pack, but I decided against it. It would seem like snooping. I finally settled on a book titled ‘The Art of War.’ Not that I was a fan of violence but I was curious to know why the author had referred to war as an art. It was such a controversial claim.

VITTORIA’S POV Three days before the wedding, I was sitting in the library. Not hiding. Not lurking. Sitting, comfortably, curled into one of the leather lounge chairs with a book resting open in my hands. The Art of War. Sun Tzu had lived and died long before men like Nikolai De Luca ever learned to call themselves kings, but strategy never aged. Power never changed. Only the pieces on the board did. I liked ancient warfare texts. They were honest. They didn’t pretend victory came from morality or mercy. They understood what most people refused to admit, wars were won before the first blow was struck.

She commented as she picked up the paper she was taking a note on. "The book is written by a woman called Lady Waina Silver. It says that the woman was present during the war thirty years ago so she could document the war well. She traveled with the women who cooked and nursed the soldiers so she was pretty close to the events that took place at the time. Sources are names as well but it's an endless list of men and woman who had surrounded the war, but a few names stood out, which are the four horsemen of the war..." So Old Lady Waina wrote the book herself? How interesting? I wonder how she wrote it though and how she followed the king to war. Thirty years ago might be a long time but I ha

Micha nodded in understanding and we continued searching through thousands of ancient books. Then we saw it. Another book—this one titled: "WARS OF THE REALMS." We looked at each other, excited. But we braced ourselves, afraid it would be blank like the first. I opened it— And the book didn't open. The cover was iron mixed with wood, heavy and old. I tried again. Nothing. Micha suggested we burn it. Maybe melting the metal would open it. So we threw it in the fire. Nothing. Not a scratch.

Then decide if you can judge me. I didn’t want to judge him. I only wanted insight—some understanding of how he would make this choice. Since I couldn’t ask him myself, this was the closest I could come to knowing what he would want. Clutching the book like a treasure, I fully intended to check it out. But deciding to wait for Caterina and see what she uncovered, I sat at one of the tables near the front of the library and opened it. I am a man of decision, the book began. In times of war, even a moment of hesitation can lead to death. With good warriors under my command, I would never risk it.

Ning Zhuo could see that there was an easy playfulness to the duo as they seemed to be real brothers in this struggle. General Gongsun shook his head as he pulled Ning Zhuo inside. Outside Ao Guong started to protest, but as they neared the city, the colonel seemed serious. Ning Zhuo remembered to pay his respects properly this time. He could see that the general was reading a book that was farmiliar to him, a book on war tactics involving using waterways to overwhelm the enemy covertly. "Lieutenant, what are your opinions on water ways in Taizhou?"

Zach raised his hand and spoke in a serious tone, “Here’s the thing: General Reed has been the war general here ever since General Lee wasn’t here. Now, General Lee is about to return to the palace. So, what’s going to happen?” “What do you mean?” Zach, who was getting impatient with Steven’s slow response, wanted to strangle his friend. But he managed to hold back and finally explained again, “Steven, how could any kingdom have two war generals in its palace?” Steven, who had just realized the problem, immediately responded, “You’re right. It’s impossible to have two war generals in one kingdom. So … most likely, one of them will step down to become the deputy war general.” Zach nodded in a

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Nollace answered patiently, “It’s a book regarding the art of war that I read in the past. It has been passed down since ancient times. It says that one won’t have to worry about the outcome of a war if they know themselves and their enemy well. If they only know themselves well but not their enemy, they might lose their battle. However, if they don’t know themselves and their enemy well, they will lose all their battles.” King William nodded understandingly and said, “It seems like I need to read that book when I’m free.”

I like taking my time, that way, I can get used to the idea of living with Xander. Sitting behind the counter in the bookstore, I listen to Vincent talking to his cars while I place an order for new books. One of those books is The Art of War by Sun Tsu. I want to read it and see why Alexei loves it so much. My thoughts turn to the BBQ, and I must admit, I enjoyed it a lot. And Rosemarie was right. Everyone seemed pretty normal. I don’t know what I expected. Maybe guns and men smoking cigars while plotting the end of the world?
