Chapter 106: Seeking a Master asked
Early the next morning, a new opponent appeared in front of Wei Ziheng.
He also seems to be a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, his strength is not clear, and he has no fixed place to live in the rivers and lakes. Using a long sword, his face is cold, and he strikes extremely hard.
Wei Ziheng looked up at his opponent, and it didn't seem to be too much danger.
Wei Ziheng drew his sword and went up, gathering his sword with internal strength, and swallowing thousands of miles.
On the other hand, it is as swift as the wind, and the chain attack is irresistible.
The battle between the two was at its peak at the beginning, and everyone's eyes were on the two of them.
The sword intent of this swordsman became more and more intense when he attacked.
However, in comparison, it is Wei Ziheng, who has to win. After a long game, gradually, the difference in strength between the two sides became prominent. Wei Ziheng fought steadily and steadily, and was very careful with every sword.
In the end, the swordsman was defeated. Although the defeat was not very complete, it was Wei Ziheng who was directly defeated through a clever blow.
After this war.
Wei Ziheng's reputation gradually spread in the city of Linzi in the Qi State. At the same time, many people cast different eyes on him.
At the same time, today, the rest of the people seem to be fighting relatively well. Wang Xu, like yesterday, fought hard for a long time and barely won the victory. Sun Qi met a master, and after a hard fight, he finally defeated him. Qinglian ended the game neatly, making her fame spread a few points more. The same is true for Sun Yue.
All in all, the five of them were lucky enough not to run into some enemies that were too strong.
Of course, the opponent of the Eight Swords of the Yue King is a bit extraordinary, and the two battles are all master-level figures. However, fortunately, the Eight Swords of King Yue have never failed so far, and their ferocious attacks during the battle, as well as the sword aura that makes people feel solemn, make many people frightened.
Zhong Ren and Chi Feng confronted two Confucian masters at the same time today, but this was naturally a victory. Some Confucian teachers and uncles in the distance were also a little depressed when they saw this kind of lottery.
Wei Ziheng slowly returned to his room, he needed to rest. Today's duel with this swordsman made him a little tired.
Wei Ziheng sat quietly on the bed and sat cross-legged to regulate his breath, tossing and turning, he still didn't have a good rest, so he simply took out his grandson's thirteen articles.
The moment I started it, I suddenly seemed to understand something again.
In the past, my master said that only I could use this book until now, and I think it may be true.
In the future, he will face the complicated situation of the Jin State and participate in the struggle for power. It's not what I want, but for now, it's a last resort. Just because you don't harm others doesn't mean they won't harm you.
Especially in this struggle for national rights, I now think that I may not have any reason to refuse to participate in this struggle at all.
Wei Ziheng roughly calculated that after participating in the Famous Sword Conference, if there was not too much delay on the road, he would be able to return to Yecheng in the Jin Kingdom in about two or three months. After that, he could carefully consider the future of his Wei Qing clan.
But before that, I have to learn something, and the thirteen articles of this grandson in front of me are undoubtedly the best.
Browse the first article again, counting.
Wei Ziheng had a different feeling, this time he was no longer a bystander, but brought in with himself as the protagonist.
While studying carefully, my mind was recalling the national situation of the Jin Kingdom.
The next moment I turned to it.,Shape this one.γ
Sun Tzu said: Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they can be defeated by the enemy. You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore he who fights well can be invincible, and he who cannot make the enemy invincible. Therefore, it is said: victory can be known, but not done.
The invincible, keep also; The victor is also attacked. The rules are insufficient, but the offense is more than enough. Those who are good defenders are hidden under the nine earths, and those who are good at attacking are moving above the nine heavens, so they can protect themselves and win all.
Seeing is better than what everyone knows, and neither is the good who is not good; Victory and the world is said to be good, and the good is not good. Therefore, there is no much power in the autumn, seeing the sun and the moon is not bright, and hearing thunder is not deaf. The so-called good fighters in ancient times are better than easy to win. Therefore, the victory of those who are good at fighting has no wisdom and no bravery, so they defeat those who are not good, and those who are not good will be victorious, and those who have been defeated will also be victorious. Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy. Therefore, the victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory. Those who make good use of soldiers, cultivate the Tao and protect the law, so they can be the government of victory and defeat.
The Art of War: One is the degree, the second is the quantity, the third is the number, the fourth is the weighing, and the fifth is the victory. The degree of birth, the amount of birth, the number of births, the number of births, the number of births, and the victory of births. Therefore, if the victorious soldier is called Eridium, if the defeated soldier is called Eridium in baht. The victor of the battle is also the people, if the water is accumulated in the stream of a thousand people, the shape is also.
At the end of the whole article, Wei Ziheng sat like a bronze bell.
The factors used to measure victory and defeat in the art of war are degree, quantity, number, scale, and victory.
Looking at the state form, it seems that from this it is judged that his family is in a rather dangerous situation. First of all, the Wei clan has less land, and the personnel and materials it occupies are far less than that of the Zhi clan. Compared to Han Zhaowei, if there is no cooperation or unity, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Zhi clan.
When Jing Jing left by herself ten years ago, it seemed that the situation was very clear. Zhi's, the situation of the dominant family has not changed.
Sun Tzu's words are very reasonable, and they tell the key to victory and defeat in a theoretical and systematic way. The language is concise, terrifying, and full of wisdom.
Another example is this second paragraph.
If you want not to be defeated by the enemy, you must first do a good job of defense; If you can defeat the enemy, you must attack. On the defensive, it is because the conditions are insufficient; Attack the enemy because the time is right. Therefore he who is good at defense hides his army as if it were deep underground; Those who are good at attacking are like divine soldiers descending from the nine heavens, and they are caught off guard by the enemy. In this way, you can not only save yourself, but also achieve a comprehensive victory.
Wei Ziheng couldn't help but sigh heavily when he looked at it, the doubts in his heart might need to be told to someone. Sometimes, instead of pondering a question on your own, it's better to explore it.
Wei Ziheng found Mo Zhai.
This person known as Mozi in the eyes of outsiders couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Wei Ziheng's arrival: "Master Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know why you have time to visit me today?" As far as I know, you are now a person with a great reputation in Linzi City of Qi Kingdom, if you don't go, what are you doing here to prepare for the Famous Sword Conference? β
Wei Ziheng's face was a little sad, and he directly stated his intention: "Mr. Mo Zhai, I have something I want to discuss with you. β
"I can see that you are a little confused, but it doesn't hurt to say, it just so happens that I am also a little empty today." Mo Zhai put on a very generous look, sat down with peace of mind, and prepared to listen carefully to Wei Ziheng's story.
Wei Ziheng didn't want to tell him directly, but turned a corner and asked: "Mr. Mo Zhai, I know that you are very knowledgeable, you know astronomy, geography, and history, I also have quite an opinion, I don't know what you think of King Wen and Jiang Ziya?" β
Mo Zhai's eyes were shocked, he was puzzled, why he asked such a question: "You said King Zhou Wen and Jiang Taigong." Don't know what you're trying to ask? The two of them are well known, so you must be asking about something different. β
Wei Ziheng said slowly: "I've been reading some military books recently, and I'm suddenly very curious about these two people. Although it is not what I have seen and heard, I always feel that there may be some truth in it that is worth learning, so I have come to ask you for advice. β
Mo Zhai reacted at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Since this is the case, I also prefer to talk about things, so let's talk about Jiang Taigong." I'm sure you're really interested in him, maybe my words can help you. β
Mo Zhai is worthy of being the giant of the Mo family, and his knowledge in this area is far beyond that of others. He directly recounted Jiang Ziya's life deeds, although everyone in the world has heard of them, but they have never been as comprehensive as him.
Jiang Ziya, also known as Jiang Shang, is a person from the East China Sea or a person from Muye. His ancestors were officials of the four mountains, and assisted Xia Yu in managing water and soil. Shun and Yu were sealed in Lu Di, so they are also called Lu Shang. Some were sealed in Shen and had the surname Jiang. In the Xia and Shang dynasties, some of Shen and LΓΌ were given to the descendants of the side branches, and some of their descendants became commoners, and LΓΌ Shang was his distant descendant. Lu Shang's original surname is Jiang, and because he is surnamed after his fiefdom, he is called Lu Shang.
When Jiang Ziya was born, his family was already in ruin, so when Jiang Ziya was young, he worked as a butcher who slaughtered cattle and sold meat,[10] and also opened a hotel to sell wine, and talked about making up for the lack of rice. But Jiang Ziya is not short of ambition, whether it is slaughtering cattle or doing business, he has always studied astronomy and geography, military strategy, and the way to govern the country and secure the country, hoping to one day display his talents for the country, but until the age of 70, he is still useless and lives at home.
When Jiang Ziya was 72 years old, he was fishing in the Weishui River, which is now in the Jin Kingdom, and he took the opportunity to fish to see Ji Chang. The income is the auxiliary minister who accomplishes the cause of the overlord. Ji Chang then went hunting, and sure enough, he met Jiang Ziya on the north bank of the Wei River, and after talking with Jiang Ziya, Ji Chang was overjoyed, thinking that Jiang Taigong was a genius, and said: "Since the ancestor of our country, Taigong said: 'There will be a saint to come to Zhou, and Zhou will prosper because of this.'" 'That's you, right?' We've been looking forward to you for a long time. Therefore, Jiang Ziya was called "Taigongwang", and the two returned by car together, respected as the Taishi.
Some people say that Jiang Ziya is erudite and knowledgeable, and has worked for businessmen. The merchant had no way, and Jiang Ziya left. Lobbying the princes of various countries, he did not know the king of the encounter, and finally returned to Ji Chang in the west. Some people say that Jiang Ziya is a scholar who lives in seclusion on the seashore. When Ji Chang was imprisoned in Jinli, Ji Chang's ministers San Yisheng and Hong Yao summoned him after hearing Jiang Ziya's name for a long time. Jiang Ziya also thinks, "I heard that Ji Chang is virtuous and virtuous, and he has always respected and cared for the elderly, why not go?" In order to rescue Ji Chang, these three people looked for beautiful treasures and dedicated them to King Su to redeem Ji Chang. Ji Chang was thus released and returned to Zhou. Although the legends of Jiang Ziya's return to Zhou are different, the general edict believes that he is the teacher of Ji Chang and Ji Fa.
After Ji Chang escaped from Jinli and returned to China, he secretly planned with Jiang Ziya how to implement moral politics to overthrow the Shang regime, many of which were tactics and tricks with soldiers. Jiang Ziya assisted Ji Chang to accumulate good virtues, and to be benevolent; Externally, Ji Chang contacted other vassal states that were not very satisfied with the king to pay tribute to him, so that the king of Zhou relaxed his vigilance; Internally set the policy of loving the people, do things that benefit the people, advocate production, and train soldiers and horses; Therefore, when later generations talk about the way of using soldiers and the secret power of the Zhou Dynasty, they all respect Jiang Ziya's basic strategy. Ji Chang was the ruler of Qingping, especially after the land dispute between Ming and Rui, and was praised by the poet as receiving the mandate of heaven. Ji Chang also crusaded against Chongguo, Misu and Inuyi, and built Fengyi on a large scale. Two-thirds of the princes in the world are all focused on Zhou, and most of them are the result of Taigong's planning.
At this point in the story, Jiang Taigong went from doing nothing to becoming famous in the first war, and the change in this process is too long.
It is only reused at the age of 70!
It's amazing.
Wei Ziheng also reflected on himself, and now he is actively looking for a goal in life, and when he is sure to do things for his Wei family, his heart is extremely firm. He needed a guide, someone who could lead him in the direction of his life. Although Mo Zhai is the leader of Mohist thought, he is also a master.
Wei Ziheng wanted to determine a direction while determining the goal, although he read a lot, but at the moment there was nothing to use, this confusion forced him to ask others.
The same is true of the Confucianism he learned since he was a child, as the so-called threesome must have my teacher, learning is endless, and the teacher is impermanent.
