Chapter Seventy-Eight: I'd rather be a soldier than a deputy general

"Xunzi.... The country of Qi is not far away. ”

"I'll send you here."

Lin Wujun looked into the distance and said with emotion. Once, he also thought about escaping to Qi State, I heard that it is very prosperous, very suitable for nobles to live, Qi people do not hold grudges, whether it is Yan people or Chu people, will not be bullied, as long as you have money on you, then you are a good friend of the people of Qi State. There are many businessmen, rangers, and scholars in the Qi country, and the Qi country has a lot of everything now, but it lacks a conscientious minister.

After all, ministers with a conscience have been sold to other countries.

Lin Wujun rode a horse, looking into the distance, but his heart was also entangled, Xunzi naturally knew what he was struggling with, sitting in the carriage, he said: "If you go to the Chu State, you will definitely die, if you hide in the Qi State, you may be able to continue to survive." The weather was extremely cold, and when he spoke, his mouth was constantly spraying thick fog, Lin Wujun shook his head, and he said, "I'm going back to Chu State." ”

Along the way, although Xunzi was very harsh on him, but when he stopped to rest, he gave Lin Wujun a lot of lessons and told a lot of his own truths. Probably because he wanted to find a reason for his courage to die, he would quietly think about the truth told by Xunzi alone.

It's not because the gods don't protect themselves, it's because their abilities are not as good as Bai Qi, so they can't defeat each other. It's not that he will always be inferior to Bai Qi, as long as he can continue to learn, sooner or later he will be defeated. The road of a thousand miles is to come out step by step, without the accumulation of small steps, it is impossible to complete the journey of a thousand miles, without the accumulation of small flowing water, there is no way to merge into rivers and seas.

This is probably the truth that Xunzi said, and Lin Wujun remembers it the most.

"Are you no longer afraid of death?"

Lin Wujun said: "When I left the Chu State alone, leaving my wife, although the king did not punish them, but they were often humiliated, even my son, I did not dare to participate in the hunt with others, because no one looked down on him, I only cared about my own life.... Alas... After I go back, I will tell my child what you told me, so that he can study with peace of mind, accumulate for ten years, twenty years, thirty years, and one day, he will take revenge on the Qin people... And I can look at it. ”

"I have treated my soldiers harshly, and have abandoned them in the most dangerous times, and I will advise my child that he will not be like me." , Lin Wujun said guiltily.

"Indigo is a dye extracted from blue grass, but it is greener than blue grass...", Xunzi nodded, he said, "I still need your escort for another ride." Lin Wujun smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want me to escort you to Jixia?" It's not that I don't want to send you, but I'm afraid that if I go to Jixia, I won't have the courage to go to Chu again. ”

"Please escort me to the state of Chu." , Xunzi said calmly.

Lin Wujun was shocked and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Over the years, I have been obsessed with learning, but I have not applied what I have learned to practice. Some people have studied the truth of benevolence and righteousness for decades, but they have never done anything benevolent, and some people have never picked up a bamboo slip about benevolence and righteousness, but everything can reveal his benevolence and righteousness. Righteousness is not through words, but through one's own deeds, and that's what I'm talking about. ”

"Today's generals treat their soldiers like cattle, treat them like enemies, and have no mercy for the captives who have lost their resistance, and do not think about the safety of the people, but only about their own wealth."

"If you don't feel guilty about the soldiers, don't apologize to your family, and don't have the courage to die because of atonement, I won't help you, now that you know your mistakes, and are willing to correct them, I want to make the world a few more generals who can care about others, I want to save you."

"The king of Chu did not punish your family for your faults, and it seems that he is not a cruel monarch, I went to the state of Chu to persuade him, and maybe I can exonerate you from the death penalty." , Xunzi stroked his beard and said seriously.

Lin Wujun stood in place, stunned for a long time.

Fang Cai suddenly leaned over Xunzi and bowed.

............

Qing Qin's father, who was Le Yi's deputy general, followed Le Yi to crusade against Qi and made countless military exploits. However, no one valued him for this, and King Yan never rewarded him, no matter how many enemies he killed or how many cities he breached, the credit was ultimately given to General Le Yi, his father, nothing. finally survived until Le Yi left, and before Qing Qin's father had time to be happy, the robbery came.

The State of Qi defeated the State of Yan and died on a robbery, and Qing Qin's father was also asked for the crime, and the credit was not shared, but the sin was not left behind.

Before Qing Qin's father died, he pulled Qing Qin and told him that he would rather be a military commander than a deputy general.

Qing Qin entered the army, crusaded against the Hu people, and made great achievements, and in less than thirty, he had become the general of the Yan State. However, Qing Qin didn't have time to be happy, Le Jian came, Le Jian didn't have any credit, but he was Le Yi's son, in order to bring Le Yi back to Yan Kingdom, Yan King named Le Jian as the king of Chang Guo and inherited his father's title, so Qing Qin became the deputy general of Le Jian.

But it wasn't until today that Qing Qin Fang understood why his father hated the position of deputy general so much.

When he went on the expedition, he did not compete with the chestnut belly for the position of general, because the prestige of the chestnut belly in the Yan country was very high, and the chestnut belly implemented many reforms in the Yan country, corrected a lot of shortcomings, and put forward the strategy of conquering the Hu people, expanding the land, and obtaining the population, so that the Yan country could slowly climb up from the trough, although the speed of climbing was slow, but the changes could be seen, and the Yan country could make up an army of 100,000 and provide enough food and grass, which was all because of the chestnut belly.

Qing Qin trusted him very much, but this trust, after entering the territory of Zhao State, disappeared without a trace.

The general forbade them to kill the Zhao people, or even to loot. When the soldiers of the Yan State went out on the expedition, their morale was very low, and the plundering in other countries was often able to revitalize them and have the motivation to fight, but this gentleman of the Qi country, he did not allow it. Even if you have to march continuously, you have to completely ignore the physical strength of the soldiers, you are sitting on a chariot, but the soldiers are running on foot!

At the beginning, he proposed to lead 50,000 elites to defeat Zhao State, and he had to bring those soldiers from the newly conquered areas, so he made up 80,000 people, known as 100,000, if there were only tens of thousands of Yan elites, it would be just a quick march, and he would take these people to march in a hurry?? Qing Qin, who persuaded to no avail, missed his father's last words more and more.

And today, the Battle of Bairen. The chestnut belly kept changing formations, and he held the book of war, clumsily imitating, completely ignoring whether the soldiers could complete it.

Qing Qin stood on the chariot and saw clearly that the Zhao people had already defeated the left-wing army, and the left-wing army was attacking the Chinese army, and the most elite chariot of the Chinese army was now stuck together and in danger! Through several successive formations, Chestnut successfully defeated his chariot troops, and the chariots collided together, unable to turn around, and some were even directly overthrown by their own people. Qing Qin originally led an elite of the Yan Kingdom, but now he was stuck by his own people and couldn't move!

Looking at the Chinese army who were still frantically waving various banners and commanding all kinds of orders, Qing Qin angrily scolded, his eyes widened, staring at Zhao Ren in the distance.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the Zhao people seemed to be expelling cattle and sheep, driving the Yan soldiers to attack the Chinese army, but the Chinese army was indifferent to this, and even thought about sending people to surround them from behind, and the Zhao people killed the Chinese army, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, what is the use of you just surround them? !

Qing Qin's eyes were about to split, he quickly looked around, and immediately came up with a countermeasure.
