Chapter 20: The battle of Puyang was defeated

The master and apprentice sat on the ground.

Nibbling on dry food and looking at the starry sky, Zimo actually misses his parents a little, and the time since he came out is not short, I wonder if his parents are missing him, and that group of partners, is it okay to play with them without himself? If you find time, you must record what you have seen and heard during this time, and go back to tell your parents and friends of the Mo School.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves interrupted Zimo's thoughts, and looking in the direction of the sound, he could dimly see a carriage galloping out of the city and rushing towards the Vietnamese military camp.

Chi Songzi opened his mouth and said: "It seems that our son and ink are like gods, and Gongsun's side has really made a move." After a pause, "It's good to have talent in this area, and you have to learn to inform the overall strategy according to the subtleties." However, we must apply this aspect to the right place, not to use it for evil, to use it for the benefit of the common people in the world, and to use it to create evil for the common people in the world. Do you understand? ”

"Zimo understands!"

"If ordinary people are evil, they are only minor evils. But if you and I are evil, then it is different, as small as a country or as big as the world, a thought of a mountain collapse and a crack, a river crossed, or a floating corpse for thousands of miles, or a country destroyed. You must know that there is a heaven outside the sky, even if it is such a cultivation as a teacher, there are several people in this world who are better than being a teacher. ”

"Zimo wrote it down."

After a long while, another sound of horses' hooves gradually appeared, but it came from the Vietnamese military camp.

Zimo listened carefully, and said to Chi Songzi with a smile: "Master, the sound of this carriage is much softer than when I first went."

"Well, it's true, presumably that Gongsun and the others did arrange for someone to bring a heavy gift to see the Yue people. There is no hope for the guard. ”

The next day, the sun rises, shedding a thousand rays of light and dispersing the dewdrops.

At noon, a team of people appeared in the east, the number of people was not very large, but only three cars, and the guard stood on one car, with a black face and a dull head. Coming to the city of Puyang, there was already a soldier to tell the matter, after a while, the city gate opened, the doctor Gongsun Mimu and Si Kouhai led a group of people and horses out of the door, the clothes and armor were bright, and the axe was cold. That Gongsun Mimu and Si Kouhai stepped forward and said: "The minister Sun Mimu (Si Kouhai) has seen the king, and the doctor Chu Shibi is sick and can't come to greet him, so I hope the king will not blame!" The words were cold and colorless, "We are waiting to welcome the king into the city, please!" ”

When Na Wei Hou saw the attitude of Gongsun and the others, and then looked at the strict army, he couldn't help but feel chills. He took a few steps back, held on to the car rail, and shouted, "I'm not going into the city!" I'm not going into town! They are going to murder this king, quick! Return quickly! ”

In a hurry, he ordered the entourage soldiers to drive the carriage back to the Vietnamese military camp quickly.

The next thing was almost exactly what Zimo expected, Gongsun and others did buy the Yue general Gaoru with a lot of money, so Gaoru sent someone to bring Wei Hou to Weidu, instead of sending an army to escort it.

Later, the Triple Alliance retreated, and sent Nawei Hou to Chengchi Chengniu (east of Huaxian County, Henan), where he temporarily lived. Later, Gongsun and others set up Wei Qian, the son of Wei Linggong, as the monarch of the country, which was to mourn the Duke of Wei, and gave the city button to the Yue Kingdom.

Thus, the farce of the Patriotic seizure of the capital, which took place in the summer and May of 469 BC, came to an end.

Nawei Hou Wei lived in the city button until his death in 480 BC.

The master and apprentice of Zimo and Chi Songzi, who had been sleeping in the wild for one night, lost their interest in continuing to watch, and returned to Puyang City with a walk. Looking at this group of busy people, I don't know what hope they have.

Sitting in the inn, Chi Songzi looked at Zimo and asked, "In this war, regardless of the merits, but in terms of tactics and tactics, what do you think?" ”

Zimo was gently wiping the ink knife with a sackcloth, and when he heard the master's question, he thought about it and replied, "On the battlefield, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and this kind of face-to-face war of equal strength does not have too many fancy, just look at who is strong, and the brave one wins when the two armies meet." ”

Chi Songzi glanced at Zimo and asked with a smile, "It's over?" ”

"Hehe, not yet, many wars are fought not in the moment of war, but before the war. Whoever has sufficient training, who has sharp weapons, who has well-equipped carriages and horses, who has sufficient grain and grass, and who has the layout first. If you do that, then the outcome will be obvious. Zimo added.

"If you are the grandson, how do you win this one?"

"If it is still this batch of troops, if you want to win, you can only make a surprise move, first divide a small number of soldiers and horses on both sides, fight against Lu and Song, fight against the two countries, do not fight, drive it around, and the excess soldiers and horses will be returned to Gongsun, strengthen the Chinese army, defeat the Vietnamese army in one fell swoop, defeat the Vietnamese army and defeat the main force of the coalition army, and even capture Wei Hou in a panic. If I had prepared in advance, I would have trained my soldiers correctly, sharpened their swords, strengthened their vehicles, and made a fuss on their vehicles, all while cooperating with bows and arrows. Hehe, these are just Zimo's thoughts, and the actual battle doesn't have so much time for me to prepare. After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

"People have to think more, think more, there are more methods, as for whether it can be realized, you have to practice to know. You'll have a chance later. Chi Songzi looked at Zimo and said, "This trip is to take you to see the outside world in advance, tomorrow, we will take a look at the river, see the spectacular scene, and appreciate the magic of nature, which will be helpful for you to walk the world and cultivate in the future." ”

The next day, after breakfast, Zimo put on the carriage and led it out. The carriage was re-laid with some hay, and he bought a cowhide from the shopkeeper to spread on it, which felt much better, and there was no need to hurry, and the carriage walked much more steadily, and walked towards the river with grace.

About five or six miles out of the city, we came to the river (now the Yellow River). The water of the river was truly magnificent, with rough waves and huge waves.

In later generations, Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty once wrote the poem "Whisk Dance Words" to describe the mighty and turbulent river, ruthless and dangerous, and the poems are as follows:

The angry waves of the Yellow River came from day to day, and the loud sound was like thunder. Long Bo didn't dare to drive the wind, and the snow sprayed by the hundred rivers was high Cui Wei.

Twenty-three strings are too sad, please don't wander around. There is a wild saw as the tail, and the split sail is cut off and the frost teeth are sharpened.

The god spine chiseled the stone and plugged the god pool, and the white horse ginseng Qin red dust rose. The public jumped on the horse and raised the jade whip, and the high hooves were extinguished for thousands of miles.

Looking at this river, it also makes people feel open-minded and ambitious. A huge rock stood in the middle of the river, and it was really a mid-stream water, and the water was splashing into the sky. This momentum gives people both the feeling of human insignificance and the greatness of nature, and the feeling of being conquered.

"Master, I'm going to feel it on that rock!" Zimo said loudly to Chi Songzi.

"How do you get by?" Although the sound of red pine nuts is not loud, the sound of being able to overwhelm the water waves reaches Zimo's ears.

"I rushed over the water! I've had experience with that! Zimo said loudly, "I don't know if Master can protect me, once I'm in danger!" ”

"Then you can go with confidence, but be careful yourself, don't rely too much on being a teacher."

"Okay!" Receiving the master's assurance, Zimo was happy in his heart.

Carefully judged the distance from the river bank to the rock, came to the carriage, and took out a bamboo board spliced with bamboo, the bamboo board is split with bamboo, connected with green bamboo bark, the overall width is about 60 cm, about 1.6 meters long, the front is upturned, but this shape is slowly bent and formed after baking green bamboo with fire.

"Master, didn't you ask me, what are you doing here? Today I will show you the surfing raft I invented! ”

After speaking, he took off his coat, tightened his clothes and pants, and then rushed to the river with the so-called surfing bamboo raft, close to the river, and saw Zimo throw the bamboo raft down, and then jumped up, bowed slightly, and stepped on the bamboo raft with his feet one after the other. I saw that Zimo suddenly flew up with the waves, and suddenly fell with the waves, and his feet controlled the bamboo raft to float from side to side, just like a light boat.

Chi Songzi's divine sense is tightly locked in Zimo, this monstrous wave is not a joke, and it will be difficult to find if you don't pay attention to rushing into the water.

This Zimo fought the majestic wind on the river and water, looking for an opportunity, waiting for the wave to rise, a swing, the body and the bamboo raft rose into the air, and fell to the rock, not waiting for the bamboo raft to land, but Zimo turned over with a harrier, grabbed the bamboo raft first, and stood firmly on the rock with both feet.

"Master! I'm coming! What do you think! It's not fun! Zimo shouted at Chi Songzi with his hands in the shape of a trumpet.

Chi Songzi finally let go of his nerves, and laughed and scolded himself in a low voice, "You are fun, but I am nervous." But what do you kid think in his head, this kind of play can also be figured out. ”

waved his hand to Na Zimo and signaled: "You have to be careful yourself, this river is a bit vicious, don't fall into it!"

"Got it! Master! Zimo responded loudly.

Standing on the rocks, looking at the turbid waves of the river, Zimo was full of pride in his heart, let out a long howl, and sang loudly:

Who is Heguang? A reed. Who is Song Yuan? Hope for it.

Who is Heguang? There was no room for knives. Who is Song Yuan? He did not worship the dynasty.

This singing, arrogant and arrogant, proud of the ancients, although the river has the "magnificent view of the hundred rivers", "the vast and soaring" trend, but at the feet of my Zimo, a reed hanging!

Later, this poem was included in the Book of Songs. National style. Wei Feng", named "Heguang". Later generations did not know that this was done by Zimo when he was 12 years old surfing by the Puyang River.

Na Zimo admired it for a while, then jumped into the water with the bamboo raft in his arms, and continued to play the surf, which was half an hour, and it was really too addictive, and it tired the nerves of Chi Songzi.

It's nice to go back to the shore and sit on the grass and bask in the sun and spread out your soaked clothes.

As a master, Na Chi Songzi is not strict when he is not teaching homework, and occasionally he teases Zimo for a few words, and sometimes he does not pay attention to the image of the elder of the master, so he is sitting back to back with Zimo at this time.

"Zimo, do you know that the operation of our cultivation of true qi is somewhat similar to the flow of water in the world. Some predecessors have summarized that it is the twelve meridians of the human body, which are combined with the twelve meridians of the world. Correspondingly, it is the foot sun bladder meridian to Jing water, the foot Taiyin spleen meridian to the lake water, the foot Shaoyang gallbladder meridian to the Wei water, the foot Shao Yin kidney meridian to the Ru water, the foot Yang Ming stomach meridian to the sea water, the foot Que Yin liver meridian to the water, the hand Shaoyang small intestine meridian to the Huai water, the hand Taiyin lung meridian to the river water, the hand Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian to the Luoshui, the hand Shao Yin heart meridian to the Ji water, the hand Yang Ming large intestine meridian to the river water, and the hand Que Yin pericardial meridian to the Zhangshui. The lungs and large intestine are the two meridians on the inside and outside of each other, just like the north and south of the river and the river. I don't care if this statement is correct or not, but in any case, this human body practice is also deeply in line with the natural way. Knowing the way of nature, many truths can be self-evident. The Twelve Orthodox Meridians are equivalent to the main rivers in the world, transporting true qi, and the eight veins of the Qi Naqi meridian are like the lake, when the river water is in the wet period, the water flow into the lake is stored, and when the river is in the dry period, the water in the lake is transported in turn. The inside of the human body is very wonderful, and many things cannot be touched, so it is more conducive to understanding in terms of rivers and lakes, and in the future, you need to think more and explore. ”

"Hmmm! Zimo wrote it down. ”

"There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation, if there are shortcuts, then there is only innate fate, God has given a smart mind, then it is twice as effective as other people's cultivation and doing things; If Heaven has bestowed a rich family, then there will be a high starting point for cultivation and work. If the heavens have blessed you with a healthy body, you can go further on the path of cultivation. The rest may have to work their own. But remember, you should not laugh at the stupidity of others with your cleverness, the poverty of others with your wealth, and the infirmity of others with your strong physique. It's not something you cultivated, it's just that God favors you, and if you don't cherish it, you will lose it. ”
