Chapter 118: The Thing with Golden Scales
Zhao Goutong pursed his dry lips, changed his name again, and said, "Don't dare to be late." β
Sun Siyu didn't say anything, waited for the bubbles in the teapot to bubble up like beads, he poured the hot new tea into the cup and said: "The achievement of the second boiling, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, it is not impossible to drive the tiger and the wolf with a young heart, but you must not eat a fat man in one bite, and if you can't digest it, you may be strangled to death." β
Zhao Goutong really didn't dare to say that he understood this time, he asked sincerely: "I don't know the connotation of Mr. in my later life, please teach Mr. β
This Confucian scholar seemed to be very satisfied with Zhao Goutong's question, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, but Zhao Goutong, who was embarrassed again, couldn't see it.
He said: "I'm talking about the way you are a man, entering the school, talent is not a necessary condition, you have to be virtuous, as the saying goes, before becoming a talent, you must first become an adult, if you are talented and not virtuous, the final learning is also a scourge to the common people, life is like boiling tea, such as a boiling to improve yourself, two boiling to know yourself, when reasoning with others, first convince yourself, in order to persuade others, this time you can understand." β
Sun Siyu looked at the young man in the hall indifferently, if this person is talented and not virtuous, Ji Xuefu will never accept it, he would rather that half of his luck dissipate, and he would rather that Wenqu Xing not be enlightened in his life, rather than have a person who harms the common people in Ji Xuefu.
The lack of virtue of the literati is much more harmful than the lack of virtue of the martial arts, and the lack of virtue of the martial arts is nothing more than the poison of a city, and if the literati are not virtuous, after entering the temple, the poison is the common people in the world.
Mr. Sun is using boiling tea as a metaphor for a person, and also uses boiling tea to remind himself that being a person is like a boiling and boiling people, seeing people and talking about people, and at the same time keeping his heart clear, and being able to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong.
Although Zhao Goutong thought so, he was still a little cautious, and he said cautiously: "Late life is really ...... this time Understand...... Got it......"
Sun Siyu looked at the young man and laughed: "It seems that you really understand, you have passed this exam." β
Zhao Gou listened to it, and lowered his eyes with a strong smile, "Thank you, sir!" β
Sun Siyu said: "Raise your head, I don't want to say this a third time, you come in." β
Zhao Goutong raised his head with a smile on his face, and got Sun Siyu's words to enter the room, as if he had been lifted by someone, his steps were very light, and the peach blossoms behind him followed his footsteps and rotated, quite a bit of "spring breeze is proud, see all the flowers in the courtyard" taste.
"Sit."
Zhao Gou sat down in fear, and his buttocks were only lightly next to the chair, in a posture that was more uncomfortable than that of a person who practiced martial arts, and he was sitting opposite Sun Siyu.
"Where are you from? Where are they going? β
"I came from Guangling Guzhou in my later years to study here."
Unexpectedly, Sun Siyu asked again, "Then where are you from?" Where are you going? β
Zhao Goutong didn't dare to answer easily, he frowned and pondered, and Mr. Sun asked again what did this mean? Where do I come from? Where are they going? Isn't it the same meaning to be twice? And this is not the Zen language of Buddhism, how can it appear in the Confucian question......
Zhao Goutong was puzzled, and he was about to answer again when he came from Guangling County when Sun Siyu suddenly said: "Although this is the golden words of Buddhism, you must also answer from the heart and with your heart." β
Zhao Goutong was pointed out like this, and he said with a straight face: "I come from my nature, return to my heart, my heart is very good, sex can't determine the heart, what the heart wants, and I have done it in the past." β
"He is a man of understanding."
Zhao Goutong looked at the tea on the table that had been boiling to the extreme, and he said: "Mr. said that there are three boils for boiling tea, and there is still a third boil left." β
Sun Siyu nodded lightly, "This third boiling tea is already 'old', the entrance is piercing, there is no half of the aftertaste, at this time, add the tea comprehensive, the tea taste will be bitter, and if you add water, it will be light, so ah, when you are full of knowledge, you must know how to hide the front, otherwise it will ......be like this."
Mr. Zuo Sacrificial Liquor picked up the teapot and spilled the boiling water.
"Boil tea three times to seek enlightenment, turn the book for half a volume and get a thousand words."
Sun Siyu is very satisfied, this young man is simply a blessing given to him by God, no, it should be said that it is a blessing given to him by Qi Dehuang, at that time, this young man will be the guide, let Wenquxing open his mind, and Ji will be able to win against Guozijian in a chess game.
Sun Siyu asked, "What's your name?" β
"Zhao Goutong."
This Sun Saijiu stroked his beard, nodded and praised: "Gou is the world is the same, Zhao Ke has the use of supporting the dragon!" Zhao Goutong, you are willing to be my protΓ©gΓ©, and you will be the person of the emperor in the future. β
Hearing this, Zhao Goutong took a step back and knelt down on his knees and said, "Student Zhao Goutong, meet Teacher Sun!" β
In ancient times, there was the Huai River along the track, out of the cloud ladder, the north and south branches of the river and the discipline of the Huaishui, two armies were stationed on both sides of the river.
Let this Huaishui, which has a long history and is very calm, seem a little turbulent.
South of Huaishui, Liu Ziwang Banner.
North of Huaishui, the Great Wednesday Army.
Li Zizhen looked at the spy report from Yuzhou City, he smiled and said: "Yu Lao Er is capable, so he has defended it, he really deserves to be the division of evil ghosts, all the troops who have passed through his hands have gone up a ladder in combat effectiveness, Mi Gong, you said that it is equal to the second child coming back, what position will I transfer him to." β
Li Migong, a military advisor of Huai'an, smiled and shook his head: "Wouldn't this be more solid, King Huai'an, did you send Yu Youjun to gild?" According to what you can see below, it is equivalent to that after Youjun returns, he will fight a small-scale battle with Liu Su's side, and after winning the battle, the two great achievements can be added together, and he can be promoted to the general of the Sanpin Yunguan, which makes more sense. β
"Good, good! It's that I'm too anxious, that's all! Li Zizhen paused and asked, "I heard that Song Rong's old guy is also going to be transferred, what do you think?" β
Li Migong shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Sitting in Huguang County, it is nothing more than three points, one is to prevent Lu Ziyu from suddenly attacking after occupying the three states of Xishu County, and swallowing it from Yingchuan County to the east, General Song Lao is also regarded as the rear of Yingchuan County, so that Yingchuan County can be attacked and defended, and the second is to join us, attack Liu Su with the strength of the horns, and take the lead in destroying the so-called King of the South, and then the old General Song will lead the troops to the west to kill and destroy Xishu County, this time it is his retreat battle, these three ...... It is nothing more than to spy on our Huai'an army, which is the only army commanded by a local vassal king, and the Son of Heaven is also afraid that we will collude with the Southern Dynasty and secretly commit rebellion. β
When Li Zizhen heard the third point, he smiled disdainfully: "Rebellion? It's really a shame that the group of bullshit literati in the court who are full of food and have nothing to do can think of it, Mi Gong, don't look at me like that, you literati don't know how many streets you can throw them. β
Li Migong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course, the third point is dispensable, our Huai'an Army will not rebel and cannot rebel, how can there be any own anti-own deeds, what we want to say is the first two points, it depends on how the Xishu side acts, in order to determine what the old general Song came here for." β
Li Zizhen sighed: "Yuzhou is really miserable, it is estimated that the whole world knows that Da Zhou is going to give up Yuzhou City and advance by retreating, but he doesn't know Yuzhou City." β
"It's useless to know, even if you want to retreat, you have to win a battle and then retreat, this is no way, the leader must obey the emperor's orders outside, otherwise he will be put on a big hat of rebellion."
Li Zizhen looked left and right, and there were only himself and the military advisor in the entire camp, and he said: "Outside, there is also a day when the military order is not accepted, what if I am also crowned as a rebel one day?" β
Li Migong smiled, "With me, it's impossible." β
Liu Su is a little uncomfortable now, his expression is like eating steamed buns and eating half of a fly, he is very angry, and lends 15,000 cavalry to Lu Ziyu, the king of Western Shu, to attack Yuzhou, but he didn't expect that Da Zhou wanted to win a game and then retreat the whole city, so Lu Ziyu could deliberately withdraw his troops and wait until Yuzhou was empty, and he could occupy Yuzhou without a single soldier.
It's a pity that now because Huguang County has become a military town, the news of the west can't be released at all, and he can't inform Lu Ziyu, he just wants the newborn king of Xishu to judge as soon as possible, either retreat, or directly attack the city, and must not delay until the assistance of the Huai'an army arrives, resulting in the loss of a good soldier.
There were also several generals in black armor around Liu Su, he glanced at them, and asked these generals, "Wang Yi, do you think Lu Ziyu can capture Yuzhou City when the Huai'an army's reinforcements arrive?" β
The next big man stood up, he had a scar on his face that almost stretched across his face, he looked extremely human, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time, which was very hideous.
Wang Yi said: "The last general thinks that since he can rely on his own ability to pull up the royal flag in Xishu, he should have good judgment, Lu Ziyu should not fight a protracted war with Yuzhou, it is estimated that it will only take these two days, either enter the city, or retreat, he still has 15,000 elites of the Southern Dynasty, whether it can be used or not, it must be returned to us more vigorously, and the troops in Yuzhou City have been exhausted, Lu Ziyu has more than worth the loss, and the last general guessed that Lu Ziyu will only use the lives of two thousand soldiers to fill this hole at most, and more than two thousand, This King of Xishu is not something that can be described by a stupid word, it is simply extremely stupid. β
"I don't think the same as General Wang."
Wang Yi turned his head, and a one-eyed man said intriguingly: "That Lu Ziyu was born in a barbarian, and it is just luck to be able to pull up the royal flag, although the terrain of Mianzhou and Jingzhou is complicated, but after all, it is not a place of important towns, there are no famous generals to defend the city, and the city must be very fast, take his surprise attack behind the city by detour, if the last general guards the city, there are a hundred ways for him to have no return, attacking such an important town as Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is backed by Luoshui, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is a horse and a flat river in front of it, but there are many natural potholes. It is very difficult for Lu Ziyu to bargain, if this king of Xishu is not enlightened, he may really die in Yuzhou, we must be prepared for the loss of 15,000 soldiers. β
Liu Su nodded lightly, "It's okay to plan for the worst, I heard that there are two people in Yuzhou City, Yu Youjun and Tong Yanhai, both of whom are fierce generals of the Huai'an Army." β
Wang Yi sneered, a little-for-tat at this one-eyed man, he said: "Commander Zhang's words are not unreasonable, but marching and fighting is not a reasonable thing, as far as I know, Tong Yanhai is just a kung fu right away, and the foot battle to defend the city is not as good as my deputy general, although Yu Youjun is a famous general, but he has a little experience in defending the city?" An army of 30,000 is not a small number, even 30,000 pigs can arch a city! β
Liu Su suddenly showed his face at this time, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't argue about this, I borrowed him 15,000 pawns with a posture of half borrowing and half giving, it is best to come back, and I don't feel distressed if I don't come back, let's have a good discussion about the Great Zhou rebels on the other side of Huaishui, as well as the new military town of Huguang County in our west, although we are not suffering from the enemy on our backs, but it is not much better." β
The soldiers were silent for a while.
Yu Youjun rubbed his eyes, he fell asleep on the top of the city last night, his ears were numb from the noisy drum, he gently patted his head with some pain, walked to the city tower, and the guards of the city all stood by the city wall, staring at the black pressure in front of him.
The Xishu rebels did not attack the city at night, Yu Youjun was a little puzzled, the siege vehicle was still lying outside the city gate, and the ladder became a wooden stick scattered on the ground, these Xishu rebels did not take advantage of the night to attack, just a frontal attack, without the ladder, how could they climb the city wall, is it difficult to use the ancient method of building a ladder.
