At this time, Lin Hu occupied the Hetao and the area north of it, crossed the frozen Yellow River, and once he entered the Hetao, he found that it was simply a paradise for herders.

Because the ∏-shaped Yellow River just protects the Hetao area and blocks the passage for locusts to enter, the pastures of Linhu have not been harmed by locust plagues, and there is really a grand and beautiful scenery here where the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

"Lord, it seems that we will not be able to play the same game of dealing with Lou Fu again, and we will have to change our strategy." Xu Jie immediately reminded Zhao Xing that he had to change his strategy when dealing with Lin Hu.

Yes, this guy is not a tendon, he can be flexible when he encounters different things, and he can immediately adapt to unexpected things, and he is really an honor student of the Xihe School, this kid has a future.

If the matter between Lin Hu and Qiang Qin is resolved again, should he apply for a knighthood from Zhao Yong for this kid and make him a nobleman?

With his ability, he deserves a knighthood.

But suddenly remembering the current rules, Zhao Xing immediately changed his mind, once he gave him a title, then this kid would no longer be his retainer, and he would no longer be used by me.

Want to get rid of the status of a taxi and ascend to the aristocracy? You don't think about it, as long as I have an inch of air, you don't think about it.

Then he patted Xu Jie on the shoulder and respectfully taught: "What's so good about the aristocracy, if you eat all day long, if you eat it, it's a walking corpse." To be a scholar, a scholar who has made great achievements, is a brilliant life. ”

Hearing this inexplicable teaching, Xu Jie inexplicably gave birth to a desperate emotion, as for why he had such emotions, Xu Jie didn't know.

"What you said just now is right, Lin Hu and Lou Fu are different, what does Mr. think I should do?" Break his cranky thoughts, this must be. So, Zhao Xing took out Corporal Lixian's shameless expression and humbly asked for advice.

Xu Jie immediately replied: "If Loudi is affected by the disaster, it should be tempted by Eli, but if Lin Hu is calm, it should be guided by the covenant." According to the words of the Lord, it is that we entered Linhu with great fanfare as the envoys of the Zhao State, so that everyone in the world knows that we have formed an alliance with King Linhu. ”

Zhao Xing pinched his chin and squinted his eyes for a while, and then said: "However, Lin Hu has always been at a disadvantage against Qiang Qin, and it is difficult for them to send troops to Qiang Qin to take corn from the fire for us." ”

Xu Jie smiled and shook his head: "This is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible, even if it is impossible, as long as we shout that the whole world knows, we are at this sensitive time, you say, what will King Qin think when the time comes?" ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands: "We must suspect that we have formed an alliance with Lin Hu to attack the Qin State in the northeast." ”

"Even if King Qin doesn't think so for sure, as long as he is suspicious, won't our goal be achieved?"

Zhao Xing clapped his hands again: "Yes, as long as he is suspicious, our goal has been achieved." At that time, the Yan State was too busy to take care of itself, Zhongshan was in a bloody battle, the Qin State was shocked three times a day, the Chu State fought to the death with the mad dog Yue State, and the Five Nations Alliance went to three and a half. There is only one Wei State and Qi State left, in front of our Han, Zhao and Xu Three Kingdoms Alliance, they should not show their teeth and claws to us, but should tremble, and when the time comes, it may not be known who will fight whom. ”

Xu Jie stopped his master's cranky thoughts at that time: "You can't use swords and soldiers in mourning, and you don't know the country." ”

Zhao Xing directly disdained: "The etiquette is broken, isn't it?" ”

Xu Jie was heartbroken: "Yes." ”

"Now that you've admitted that etiquette is broken, what do you care about such old rules? After the Spring and Autumn Period, and now it has entered the Warring States, ah, you still don't know how to divide it like this. I have already divided the three families into Jin, and when Zhou Tianzi was forced to admit the three families, he called the period after this the Warring States. ”

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, and finally nodded admiringly: "Mr. is right." ”

"As soon as the Warring States entered the unrighteous war, this has become the consensus of the world. At this time, it is really the etiquette that collapses, and people do everything for the purpose of profit, and no longer pay attention to reason. At the same time, it is precisely the collapse of etiquette that has created this new era. The old self-contained so-called Zhou Rite was completely broken, and the conservative rules that have been inherited for thousands of years were completely broken, so that the world had the opportunity to continue to rise and develop. And people like you should actually give thanks religiously, and not scream and wail about it. I say this because it is precisely because of the breaking of the original conservative rules that you have emerged as a class of scholars, so that you have a channel to rise, so that you can show your talents in this world and realize your ambitions, am I not right? ”

Xu Jie never thought deeply about this truth, and the disciples taught by Confucius still held the firm belief in restoring the religion of etiquette, and worked tirelessly to seek it.

Zi Xia, the founder of the Xihe School, broke this notion and was scorned by Confucius.

Now that Zhao Xing lifted the lid with a word, Xu Jie couldn't help but suddenly become enlightened: "The Lord is right, if it weren't for the collapse of etiquette, there would really be no day for me to come out." The solidified aristocracy will always make us look up to the mountains. Changing the law in various countries not only makes great efforts, but also allows us talented people to display their ambitions, and gives us the opportunity to enter the aristocracy. ”

Then he was full of hopeful reverie: "If I accompany the lord to solve the huge crisis of the Zhao country this time, according to the merit, I can also get the title of the king, and I can also get rid of the lowly scholar class and become a noble nobleman, even if it is a small nobleman." ”

Zhao Xing immediately interrupted his reverie: "But that's all your dream, because we haven't completely broken this shackle that has been left for thousands of years after all." The changes of Li Kui and Wu Qi and other seniors have only touched the skin of this stubborn comparison, but they have not touched the soul at a deep level. The inherent aristocratic class is still powerful, so powerful that it will completely crush all those who want to change the situation. As long as you don't fundamentally break this system, the so-called Zhou Li, you don't want to become a nobleman in your life. ”

Xu Jie gave Zhao Xing a gift: "I understand the Lord's ambition, please allow me to follow you, break this remaining force, and make the whole world progress." ”

Zhao Xing looked up at the sky with an unfathomable face: "Yes, the inherent forces are very stubborn, but for the progress of the whole society, we must do whatever it takes, even struggle for life." Fight for life, young man, although you may never see what we want to achieve again in this life. But here we come, we see, we participate, that's enough. ”

Being taught by such an unfathomable and exciting teaching, Xu Jie said with infinite excitement: "From now on, please allow me to respect you sir, even if I can no longer realize my dream of becoming a nobleman in this life, I am willing to follow you and fight for it all my life." ”

You give up becoming a nobleman, honestly be my retainer disciple, and follow me for the rest of your life. "When you go back, you take 10 pieces of dried meat as a bundle, and I will accept you as a disciple." This talent can't run even more.

Zhao Xing fell ill with the robes of the nobles, Xu Jie restored the clothes of the scholars, and the two of them prepared to meet King Lin Hu in a grand manner.
