Chapter 151: Strategist

Li Li started his own practice anew, and his husband, who followed him, picked up the bamboo slips again, and at the same time calmed down again.

And after Li Wei left, Tian Yu looked at Kuaimeng who was smiling, and shook his head helplessly, "You young people, obviously you are very young, you still pretend to be mature, aren't you tired?" ”

Kuai Meng snorted and laughed, "General Guorang, you woke up Han Long, is it possible that you also want to beat Kuai Mou?" ”

"You young people, the old man really wants to beat them one by one to get angry, and pretend to be young and old one by one! If you're not happy, you're not happy, can't you be real? ”

"Hehe, General Guorang is right, it's the student Meng Lang." Kuaimeng bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I was indeed a little depressed just now. ”

"Down? Why do you think that there are too many famous generals in this world, so that you have no future? ”

"That's not it, it's just a little doubtful, whether the student did something wrong..."Kuai Meng smiled a little helplessly, "Relying on my understanding of Nanyang County before, I walked very smoothly, and today General Tian Yu seems to be mentioning Hanlong, but in fact, he is also mentioning some students." ”

"Hmm... Old man... Huh"

"Thank you, General Tian Yu, student, I am indeed a little arrogant these days, the closer I am to Nanyang County, the feeling in my heart.... The general of the country can understand it. ”

"Well, it's just a feeling of homesickness, the old man can understand it." Tian Yu nodded indifferently, "You are a very good young man, young and frivolous, understandable." ”

"Thank you to General Guorang, today General Guorang let the students know the greatness of the world and the power of famous generals, so that students will not be arrogant and lose their lives in the future."

"Boy, you're serious!" Tian Yu smiled, "The old man is not as cunning as you think, hahahaha"

"General Guorang." Kuaimeng's face suddenly turned serious, "Can the student ask a question?" ”

"You say."

"For the generals, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on, that... Is it the same with the counselors? ”

Tian Yu looked at Kuaimeng with a straight face, and the face that was smiling just now also became serious, "No, generals can be divided into three, six, nine and so on, there can be mediocre people, as long as they don't do anything stupid, even if they are ordinary, as long as they know to obey the orders of the officials, they are also qualified generals."

But the strategist is not, and the battle of the strategist is more cruel than the general, if the strategist is incompetent, then the three armies will be implicated, so it is much more difficult to become a qualified strategist than to become a qualified general. ”

"What is.... Counselors? Kuaimeng's question was a little difficult.

"Aren't you, a boy from the Kuai family, just a strategist? Hahaha"

"The general of the country should not be ashamed to laugh at the boy anymore, and now when I think of the students here and you that night, I feel very ashamed."

"Hahaha, such a humble look, the old man is really rare." Tian Yu laughed, "Strategist, know astronomy, know geography, know yin and yang, this is a man who plans for a while, knows the world, understands the hearts of the people, calculates the world, this is a man who plans for a lifetime, the changes of the dynasty, the rise and fall of Ming history, and understands the eternal changes, this is a plan for all generations." ”

"I know astronomy, I know geography, I know yin and yang, the kid is really .... What a pride in oneself. ”

"What's the matter, you're feeling down?"

"Let the country make the general smile, the student just knows the height of heaven and earth, and the vastness of the world." Kuaimeng shook his head, "Looking at it this way, the students really have a long way to go. ”

"Don't be presumptuous, under the whole world, thousands of years before and after, don't say that you can plan for eternity, that is, you can plan for a while, there are very few!"

"Please give me advice!"

"First of all, I will tell you who are the people who can seek the world, so that you will have an appearance in your heart." Tian Yu stroked his long beard, "It can be called the one who seeks the world, they have another name, you should have heard of it." ”

"What are you called?"

"The saint of the sons!"

"The saints of the hundred schools of thought are indeed .... He can be called a man who seeks eternity. Kuamon shook his head, an answer he couldn't refute.

"Don't be so sad, the old man said that the saints are different from what you understand, and I will tell you something specific, Sage Confucius is also a saint, and he is a great sage who will be passed down through the ages, but he can't really be called a man who seeks the world, he is just the founder of a knowledge.

But Xunzi and Dong Zhongshu, who are also Confucian sages, can be called those who seek eternity, do you know why? ”

Kuamon pondered it again, "Is it because of their theory?" Although the theory of Confucius Sage put forward the idea of benevolence and love for others, and also to educate the people, his theory is indeed a bit lofty, and his theory may be realized in the future, but it is indeed too difficult. ”

"It's not all." Tian Yu shook his head slightly, "The foundation of the strategist is the monarch, and the Confucian sage is to find another way, if you want to make the people believe in him and his theory more, one thing that must be admitted is that the Confucian sage succeeded, he and his disciples succeeded in carrying forward Confucianism, but the price was that he was disliked by the monarch."

After all, no monarch would let a person with a higher prestige than himself become his subordinate, so Sage Kong can be called a strategist, but he is not a strategist. ”

"What about Xunzi, he has almost never been a lord in his life, even the most proud protΓ©gΓ© disciple is also a figure of the Legalist, Han Fei and Li Si, although the rest are all incomparable for a while, but the light is indeed covered by that."

When Kuaimeng said this, he actually admired Xunzi very much, and then Kuaimeng's heart, if it is about the ability to teach disciples, Xunzi is still above the two sages of Confucius and Mencius, not to mention others, Xunzi is known to the world as the eight disciples, known as a family of two sons, two phases and two emperors.

The two sons are the Legalist Han Feizi and the Confucian Le Daoist Gongsun Nizi, the two are the poet Mao Heng and Jia Lu of the "New Language", the two are the Qin Prime Minister Li Si and the Han Prime Minister Zhang Cang, and the two emperors are the teacher of the Chu Yuan King Fu Qiubo and the Great Han Xiaocheng Emperor Chen Huan.

Xunzi did a lifetime of learning, but his theories and his disciples did shock the whole of China in that era.

Tian Yu looked at Kuai Meng who was in longing, and also smiled, talking to this kind of young man who knows everything is a pleasure, where is it like talking to Li Wei, and he always has to worry about whether he can understand his own meaning.

"Xunzi has indeed not been out for too long, except for the position of sacrificing wine in the Jixia School Palace, which is not an official position, the only one who has ever been out of office is the Chu Lanling Order of Chu State, and that is because he is old and wants to find a place to support the elderly. But Xunzi's school was spread to the four corners by his disciples, and it was recognized by all monarchs! ”

"Longli respects the virtuous and the king, respects the law and loves the people and dominates!" Kuaimeng said this sentence without hesitation, which is also one of Xunzi's most important points.

Xunzi has a lot of arguments in this life, he inherited Confucius and Mencius's benevolence and love, and at the same time issued his own insistence on the nature of human nature, but also the Taoist distinction between heaven and man, it can be said that Xunzi is a real person who penetrates a hundred schools of thought in the late Warring States period.

But these theories are the same as Confucius, are based on the people to preach, and he only said once that the "theory of the king" is indeed widely spread among the upper class, inherited to this day, thanks to the blessing of this ancestor, Xunzi's Xunzi lineage is also very clear about the way of the king, and it is also smooth sailing on the way.

What Kuaimeng knows, Tian Yu, the teacher, naturally knows, so Tian Yu once again sighed and spoke to Kuaimeng is happy, "Since ancient times, whether the monarch is a king or a tyrant has always been a topic of endless debate for everyone. ”

"If the kid wants to be a character like Xunzi.... I'm afraid it's hard in this life. ”

"Guy Kuai, although you are telling the truth, the old man still wants to say a word to you, or persuade you."

"The country asked the general for advice!"

"Child, don't dream in the future!" Tian Yu's face was serious, "I still want to compare myself with Xunzi, why don't you go to heaven!" ”

Kuai Meng was mocking himself with Tian Yu's serious face, and he was also embarrassed, "General Guorang, that... That one.... Let's move on. ”

"Humph!" Tian Yu snorted proudly, "Those who seek the world are also called strategists from ancient times to the present, Xunzi of Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu, Guan Zhong of the Legalist family, Han Fei, Su Qin of the Zongheng family, Zhang Yi, and the rest may also be the choice of the world, but they can't let the world follow suit." ”

"Are these the only ones?"

"That's the only thing, the one who seeks the world, must be able to make his theory available for all generations, at least for reference, if you have to impose a person, the head of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under the command of Emperor Guangwu, Deng Yu can barely be regarded as a person, he brought the king and the family to share the world."

"The way of the family, this.... It's okay. Kuai Meng is also quite helpless, as a child of a family, although he knows that this set of things must be a disaster for the country and the people in the end, but he really can't say it.

"You also know the one who seeks the world, the old man thinks that you should be able to give up and develop in this direction directly."

"General Guorang.... Makes sense. ”

"Haha, then the old man will tell you about the one who seeks the first life?"

Kuai Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then showed a stiff smile on his face, "General Guorang, please say, the student can bear it!" ”

"Those who seek a lifetime, this up and down fluctuations are relatively large, the strong can help the monarch to dominate, the weak can help the monarch to stand in the troubled times, compete with others, and at the last time, it can also leave a strong mark in time!"

"This.... I think there should be hope for the students," Kuaimeng's eyes had hope again, "The one who seeks the world, the kid thinks that the strongest student can't reach it, but the second.... Hey hey"

"You kid is really embarrassed to speak, since you are so confident, then who do you think can be called a world seeker?"

"Eight hundred Jiang Ziya in Xingzhou, Zhang Zifang in four hundred in Wanghan! These two should be the strongest of the people who seek a lifetime. Kuaimeng's face was confident, "I don't know if what the student said is right?" ”

"Hmm" Tian Yu nodded, "These two are indeed all kinds of leaders, in addition, Chen Ping of Gaozu, Fan Zeng under King Xiang, Fan Ju of Qin, Baili Xi, and even Shang Jun and others are all the best choices. ”

"That time, the first-class people should be Gan Mao, Gongsun Yan, LΓΌ Buwei and others, as well as Cao Shen of my Han Dynasty and the ancestor of the students, Kuaitong and others?"

"Well, your kid's purpose is your ancestor," Tian Yu laughed, "The ancestor of your Kuai family is indeed a person with advanced scheming, not to mention the strategy of destroying Qi at the beginning, the strategy of dividing the world is similar to that of Zhuge Kongming and Lu Zijing." ”

"Students, thank you for the praise of General Guorang."

"Praise or not, you are a clever kid!" Tian Yu laughed, "As you just said, those people are also very good strategists, including some people you know in recent years, Lu Zijing, Zhuge Kongming, Guo Fengxiao, Tian Yuanhao and others, they are also heroes for a while. ”

"Students understand."

"Now that you understand, who do you think will be the worst strategist in this level?" Tian Yu also played, "Who do you think will be the bottom line of the one who seeks the world!" ”

"The country let the general harm me, and the students have not yet come out, how dare they talk about the ancestors?"

"There are only you and me in this room, out of your mouth, into the ears of the old man, what are you afraid of, haha"

When Kuaimeng heard Tian Yu say this, he could only shake his head helplessly, and then said a name, "Xu Yu!" ”

"Who?"

"Xu You, Xu Ziyuan!" Kuai Meng said it again, making Tian Yu sure that he had heard correctly.

"Why, you want to say Xu You?"

"Plotting to abolish the Spirit Emperor, failing and being able to survive, offering Yuan Shao was captured and able to escape, defecting to the King of Wei, a plan can make the King of Wei win, although the character is not very good, but in terms of wisdom, he should be the smartest person in Yuan Shao's army!"

Xu You is indeed a strange person, he is really famous not because of his resourcefulness, nor because he is Cao Cao Yuan Shao's hair, but because when others lamented that the Han Emperor was unreasonable, Xu You dared to join forces with Jizhou Assassin Wang Fen and Peiguo Zhou Jing and others, and under the pretext of the Black Mountain thief, he directly sent troops to Emperor Ling, and wanted to abolish him and re-establish the King of Hefei as the emperor.

As a result, their ideas were good, but the teammates Xu You found were really not very good, and before they succeeded, Wang Fen was frightened into suicide by a holy decree summoned by the Spirit Emperor, without the strongest help Wang Fen, their group of traitors naturally could not succeed anymore.

So at the last moment, Xu You escaped very neatly, this is not the point, the point is that after Xu You escaped for a few years, he swaggered again in the eyes of the world, and those sea fishing documents, those officials who had vowed to capture Xu You and dedicate it to the emperor were all blind.

When the princes were fighting and the troubled times officially came, Xu You once again took refuge in Yuan Benchu as a strategist, and Yuan Benchu not only contained him, but also set him up as the mastermind.

On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, the second general Yan Liangwen Chou was the commander-in-chief, Xu You was one of the three masterminds of the army, and the other two were Tian Feng and Xun Kan of the Xun family.

When the army was anxious, Xu You once again attacked Xu Du like Yuan Shao, this strategy can be said to have just choked Cao Mengde's lifeline, if Yuan Benchu didn't know that Xu You's family was corrupt and bribed and had a bad feeling for this old friend, and really believed his words, Guandu would fight, and the King of Wei might not be Cao Mengde now.

And Xu You, who was reprimanded and disgusted by Yuan Shao and even wanted to be arrested, once again used his escape Dafa to slip out of Yuan Benchu's camp, and until Xu You ran to the eyes of Cao Mengde, the king of Wei, Yuan Benchu did not react.

This kind of person who can see the enemy's Achilles' heel at a glance and when things are not going well, he can run successfully, it is really not an exaggeration to say that he is the top adviser in the world, and if Xu You is not too drunk and has to go to Xu Chu for stimulation, he will not die so miserably.

Tian Yu recalled Xu Ziyuan's past, looked at Kuaimeng with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but say, "You are really a little fox." ”

"The general of the country has won the award." Kuai Meng was very respectful, "Actually, the general of the country does not have to be like this, the student now knows that he is wrong, why do you have to catch the student a little handle." ”

"People who say things too clearly generally don't live long."

"The student should have died in Hanzhong back then, it was Liu Fu and Sun Ying who fought hard to snatch the student and Ah Dang out, as for how long the student can live in the future, that is not something worth caring about, anyway, for the student, it is worth it to die now."

Tian Yu glanced at Kuaimeng deeply, he admitted that he had selfishness in that problem just now, although Kuaimeng said that he knew that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and there would be no more bad thoughts, but for Tian Yu, his subordinates were his brothers in life and death, and now he was not afraid, he was afraid that Kuaimeng would grow up, but he was already old and couldn't move.

"That's it, that's it, Xu Yu will be Xu You." Tian Yu sneered, the future matters, let the future of them decide for themselves, in this troubled world, in case Tian Wu dies in front of him, this is not possible.

"Thank you, General Guorang." Kuai Meng was also very interested in not mentioning this matter anymore, "Please also ask General Tian Yu to continue to teach, who can be called a person who plans for a while?" ”

"Can't you kid be more far-sighted, the goal is found, then just work hard for your ancestors, you have to know what the people who are planning for a while do, what, you are trying to find a decent way back for yourself?"

"I just want to know where I am now." Kuaimeng smiled.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Tian Yu snorted coldly, "Do you think that people who plan for a while are the worst, but you are wrong, they are the strongest in a way!" ”
