Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Domain of Yingcheng

"If you have a chance, can you take a look at the "Art of War" for me?"

Regarding Zhanbai's natural request, Gongzi Jun gave a surprised expression. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"What, isn't there anything unspeakable about Childe?" Zhan Bai was slightly stunned, thinking that this "Wu Zi's Art of War" is not the secret of the Chu State?

"Mr. misunderstood, Lone was just a little curious. Consciously compared to "Wu Zi's Art of War", Mr. should prefer Sun Wu's "Sun Tzu's Art of War"? Childe Jun told the truth.

"Why is that?" Zhan Bai was even more curious.

"Wu Qi's art of war focuses on a dignified and upright one, sweeping the battlefield with absolute superiority, above board, and there is no chance of a little luck. On the contrary, "The Art of War" advocates surprise victory, and the so-called soldier is also sophistry. Of course, in the eyes of the lonely king, although the two are far from each other, they have the same goal, both judge the hero by victory or defeat, and at the same time, they also attach great importance to knowing themselves and knowing each other. Gongzi Jun explained.

Zhan Bai was stunned, but there was a wry smile in his heart.

Gongzi Jun said it tactfully, but in fact, it clarified a truth.

Wu Zi is good at conspiracy, and Sun Tzu is good at conspiracy. And judging from the image he gives people, it is undoubtedly more suitable to read conspiracy theories.

"Confucianism has a saying, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Regardless of the conspiracy, it is always not bad. Zhan Bai said embarrassedly, but he had already made up his mind in his heart and no longer valued "Wu Zi's Art of War".

Once a person has formed his own style of acting, he will no longer have any role except for mediocrity and self-disturbance.

"Wu Zi's Art of War" can be read, but it must not be studied in depth, otherwise once you are addicted, it is very likely to break your own foundation, and finally become a four-like, you will laugh and be generous.

In contrast, "The Art of War" aroused Zhanbai's curiosity.

It's not because "The Art of War" is better than "The Art of War", it's just because of personal preference.

This is also the reason why Zhanbai likes the "Ghost Valley Book", although he doesn't want to admit it, but the fact is that Zhanbai prefers to play yin than the upright yang.

"It is said that if people die and Wu dies, then his changes will inevitably be liquidated. This is true for political communication, but there should not be much change in the military. After all, the strength of the military is related to the safety of the entire government and the opposition. Zhanbai's voice changed, pointing directly at Gongzijun's previous worries.

"In the past two years, I don't know much because I am in Juye, but in the three years since Wu got up and died, my Chu State has used troops no less than 20 times, especially in the Han State more than 10 times, but it has lost more than 12 counties, and has been swallowed by the other party." Gongzi Jun did not answer positively, but laid out the facts.

"Five years ago, what about it?" Zhan Bai frowned.

"The war is invincible, and in a hundred years, it has annexed three parts of the Han Kingdom." Gongzi Jun's spirits were lifted, and he was indescribably heroic.

"Those people can't be so stupid, just because they like and dislike one person, but they don't even care about the affairs of their family and country." Zhan Bai was frightened.

This is too much of a change.

"No, as Mr. said, Wu got up and died, and almost all of his reforms in China were overthrown, but militarily they were inherited. After all, although those people are greedy, they still know how to measure themselves. Gongzi Jun shook his head, "It's a pity that everyone still underestimates Wu Qi's influence on my Chu State." Although the military has not changed, the pillars have collapsed, causing the morale of the army to drop greatly. Second, it is out of the Wu Zi Art of War. ”

"Wu Qi is a talented person, but he is not a good teacher. He single-handedly compiled the "Art of War of Wu Zi" and popularized it. It's a pity that there is only one Wu Qi in the world, and only he can truly control the art of war, as for the generals and soldiers below, they are more just painting cats and tigers, but they don't know that because the traces of imitation are too explicit, they fall into the inferior. When the two are combined, how can we win? Gongzi Jun was full of emotion, and I have to say that this is really a great sorrow for the Chu State.

Success is also Wu Qi, defeat is also Wu Qi.

Use it, be afraid. Abandon it, surprised.

This reminded Zhanbai of Zhuge Liang in the deductive novel in his previous life.

Almost with the strength of one person, he stabilized the Shu Han court, and he was invincible in his lifetime, and his hard work was high, but he finally made the queen Liu Chan dispensable, and there were no good things, but he left the infamy of "not thinking about Shu" through the ages. When Zhuge Liang died, the national strength of Shu Han plummeted, and it was finally destroyed by Wei and achieved unification.

The difference between the two is that Zhuge Liang died at the end of his life, while Wu Qi failed to succeed.

"It can be seen that Childe has great ambitions. However, if you want to regain the prestige of the Chu State, you must first sit in the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Zhanbai persuaded for a while, he has self-knowledge, his greatest use value in Gongzijun is precisely to help him ascend to the throne, as for the recovery of Chu, not to mention whether Zhanbai has this ability, I am afraid that Gongzijun will not approve of it, otherwise, I can't say, the next Wu Qi is himself.

Today's Gongzi Jun seems to know everything and says a lot, but in fact, he does not have the intention of using Wu Qi to beat himself.

If Zhan Bai can't even see this, even if he dies in the future, he deserves it.

The master and the plotter were relatively speechless, each with their own hearts, and after a cup of tea, Zhanbai said goodbye and left.

……

Three days, it took three days, the giant ship of the wind came out of the thousands of mountains and ravines, and the time was immediately clear, the fields were all over the place, and the beauty was overwhelming, and this was already the hinterland of the Chu State.

In the past three days, it was learned from Gongzi Jun's words that the thousand-zhang giant peak where everyone set off to establish the Fahua Array was impressively located on the border of Chu and Wei, and belonged to the zone of no matter what.

Tianmo City** has established eleven Fahua arrays leading to the Spring and Autumn Continent, eight of which lead to the eight vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Continent, and three are located on the border of Chu Wei, Qi and Qin, and Zhao and Han.

If the first eight are controlled by the eight vassal states, just for the purpose of recruiting talents, the last three are more convenient for rangers and assassins.

Gongzi Jun, as a dignified prince of the Chu State, can only secretly exercise the public Fahua Array, and it is not difficult to see the difference in his situation in the country.

With the entry into the hinterland of Chu State, the population has also become dense, fortunately, there is a forbidden sky, although it is within a hundred zhang, there are very few people in the sky, so there is no suspicion of traffic jams.

The speed of the flat boat increased sharply, and after another day, the giant ship finally anchored in a bustling county.

"This is Yingcheng, and it is the fief of the Lone King." Standing proudly on the bow of the giant ship, before getting off the ship, Gongzi Jun condescendingly pointed to the square city under his feet and said, but there was no pride in his words, but with some bitterness.

"My father had three sons, and according to the ancestral teachings, except for the prince, once the other sons reached adulthood, they had to leave the capital and become vassals. Originally, there was nothing either. But the reality is that the prince is undecided, and in addition to me, the other two elder brothers have their own domains, but they all stay in the capital, and their relatives are self-evident. ”

The next moment, Gongzi Jun complained about the pain in his heart.

In this regard, Zhanbai deeply agreed.

Not to mention that the prince is undecided, even if it is decided, as long as he does not ascend the throne, which of the other princes will be willing to admit defeat. In this way, it is difficult to avoid power struggles, and forming parties for personal gain is undoubtedly the best means. Only by winning over the civil and military ministers in the court can they expand their own power and increase their chances of winning the throne in the future. Then, there is a world of difference between the capital and the domain.

Staying in the capital, you can control the changes in the government and the opposition as soon as possible and deal with them calmly. Secondly, it can also get closer to the king and win over the courtiers.

On the other hand, if you say that it sounds good, it is a separation, and if it doesn't sound good, it is actually exile.

Although the emperor is far away, he is also out of everyone's eyes, no one pays attention, and he can only watch the throne fall when he is powerless.

This is cruel to Gongzi Jun, who has the throne in his heart.

Zhan Bai on the side was speechless, he was just a strategist, not an omnipotent immortal, and giving advice without knowing anything was simply talk on paper, which was tantamount to misleading people's children.

"Childe, get off the boat." (To be continued.) )
