War God's Sayings

The sayings of Mencius, the Confucian War God, from when he traveled the states, debating the heroes with tongue and blade, cutting men down with his mouth and quelling the Central Plains. Their origin cannot be verified, but in country legend the "cannon" in chess is in fact Mencius's mouth: it kills at a distance, and the terrifying part is that once the direction is set, there is no one it cannot kill.

No matter how exalted the other party's station or how humble their manner of asking, they are miserably lectured by Mencius. In an argument he even brings out The Art of War and Internal Skill, so that a man being scolded cannot even talk back, and it is no wonder some are scolded to death.

He scolded every one of the Hundred Schools, yet would not let others criticize him, angrily retorting: "Am I fond of arguing!? I have no choice!!" It has become an echo through the ages.
