Chapter 138: No One Is Perfect

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Wei Ziheng asked very humbly: "I think a person's evaluation will more or less have a little personal emotion in it, but this is an objective evaluation after all. ”

"But I don't want to answer that question, and sometimes it's not a good thing to think too much." Yue Wang Goujian seemed to be very heavy and said.

Wei Ziheng said again: "Well, you said that there were some war scenes in the Void World. Is this just a part, or is it a whole war. ”

Speaking of this Yue Wang Goujian, it seems that he has something to say: "It's weird, the surrounding environment is still nothing, but a lot of soldiers rushed from all directions, and some soldiers even had them on their heads, and they threw some stones and some wood to attack the Qin army below." ”

Wei Ziheng recalled the battle of Kun at this time, which was a very tragic battle, and it seemed that that scene was not like this?

"It can really be said that one will indulge in eternity, and the struggle between the monarchy and the people will perish." Wei Ziheng couldn't help but sigh.

I saw Gou Jian walking lightly and saying: "There is nothing to sigh about, birth, old age, sickness and death in this world are too ordinary." When war does not break out, people will die, and even if there is no war and hunger, it will eat away people's lives.

Life is inherently fragile, and people can consider it precious, or they can consider it worthless. ”

Wei Ziheng is a little difficult to say now, judging the value of life by war, he really doesn't have a good say in this, after all, the Yue King Gou Jian in front of him can be said to have experienced real birth and death, and there is nothing he has not seen.

The ugliness of countless human nature and the insidious shamelessness of society are telling people that if you are not strong enough, you will disappear. You live to live life.

Perhaps, to some extent, the lives of these people may really be worthless

Gou Jian raised his head and said: "Believe in my experience, you also know that if you look at me, maybe you can understand what the world is like?"

Some people pursue fairness, but the world itself is unfair. At the same time, it is this unfairness that creates contradictions.

But at the same time, there are many contradictions in this world, such as the position of the hegemon, such as the strong national strength.

You can't get out of this world, so you have to learn to fit in. When you read all the history, you won't understand why history has gone the way it is.

If you only read a certain period of history, but think about the whole process of civilization through it, maybe you can understand something. ”

"Philosophical?"

"Sometimes people don't live for philosophy."

"But ........."

Wei Ziheng suddenly realized that his knowledge was still too shallow at this time, and he couldn't say a lot of words at all.

"Don't think so much, wait until a knife is on your neck and can kill you at any time, then you can think about the true meaning of life. Because that is the time it makes sense, because life is coming to an end. "Yue Wang Goujian is very unusual this time, and as soon as he appears, he is a variety of philosophical Dali.

"I want to ask, what do you think of the philosophy of the soldier family?" Wei Ziheng plucked up his courage and said.

"Soldier's philosophy?"

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, thought for a while and said, "Maybe for ordinary people, it is cruel because it will bring war, but in the long run, it seems that this is not much of a problem.

The art of war is something that can only be used by talented and virtuous people, that is, people say, sit on the top of the high hall and fight the army of a thousand miles. ”

Wei Ziheng was suddenly a little indifferent: "I am also about to face these things, and in some places I am at a loss and at a loss. ”

"This is a point of no return!" Yue Wang Gou Jian said in a witty tone.

Wei Ziheng turned around, sighed silently and said, "I can't help it, this is what I have to face." ”

"It seems to be."

"So I want to ask you for advice."

"But I don't know how to answer your question."

"A brief analysis of the battle of Kun, I would love to hear your opinion as the overlord of the former generation." Wei Ziheng once again showed a sincere look, this time with a strong sense of learning.

Yue Wang Gou Jian shook his head after all and said, "Okay then." ”

Next, Yue Wang Goujian looked at such a problem from a third perspective.

During the Xianggong period of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin State defeated the Qin State in Kunshan, the Qin army of more than 20,000 people was annihilated, and the three commanders Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing were captured, which was the famous Battle of Kun. If you want to understand the significance of the Battle of Kun, we must first understand one point: why was there a Battle of Kun, and why did the Jin State and the Qin State fight?

Although there was a scandal between the Jin State and the Qin State earlier, but after the Jin Wengong ascended the throne, the two countries entered the honeymoon period, beating the Chu State together in the Battle of Chengpu, and then also conquest of the Zheng State together, although it ended without a problem under the tongue of Candle Zhiwu, but because the superb political wisdom of the Jin Wengong did not affect the overall situation between the two countries, in addition, the two countries continued to marry, and the Jin Wengong also married the daughter of the Qin Mugong, and the idiom "Qin and Jin Zhihao" basically refers to the relationship between the two countries during this time. The relationship between the two countries is so close, why did Jin Wengong directly face each other before his bones were cold?

In fact, under the superficial harmony, the contradiction between the Jin State and the Qin State has always existed, and it is irreconcilable, and the reason for the contradiction is also very simple: the position of the overlord is not contracted by your Jin State, why can't I be the Qin State? Since Qin Mugong promoted Baili Xi, Jian Shu and other virtuous ministers, Qin's national strength has increased greatly, Qin is biased in the northwest region where materials are scarce, which seriously restricts the development of Qin, in order to open this dilemma Qin Mugong adopted a strategy: eastward, occupy the Central Plains of the anointed land. However, the Jin State blocked the road of the Qin State to the east like a loyal traffic policeman, and for the Qin State, the existence of the Jin State was the greatest harm to the Qin State. In the face of their common enemy, the state of Chu, the state of Qin and the state of Jin could temporarily put aside their grievances and work together, but after the battle of Chengpu, the state of Chu was unable to go north to compete for hegemony in a short period of time, so the short-lived alliance between the state of Qin and the state of Jin collapsed instantly. When Duke Wen of Jin was still there, the State of Qin could barely maintain restraint, and when the only monarch who made the State of Qin jealous died, Duke Mu of Qin could no longer suppress his ambition to dominate the Central Plains, and he couldn't even wait for the time of Duke Wen of Jin's burial, which shows how eager Duke Qin Mugong was to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

After the Battle of Kun, the relationship between Qin and Jin took a sharp turn from the previous honeymoon period to the point of incompatibility, and Qin immediately sent envoys to form an alliance with Chu in the south to jointly pit the Jin state. In order to maintain its hegemony, the Jin State had to deal with the challenges of the two great powers of Qin and Chu on both the western and southern fronts. It can be said that although the state of Chu did not participate in the battle of Kun, it was the biggest beneficiary of the battle of Kun.

Although the Jin State achieved a military victory, the political environment of the Jin State deteriorated even more after the Battle of Kun, and this war was originally a war of dishonesty. The Jin State agreed, and lent the way to the Qin State, but finally attacked the Qin army that returned to China. It is true that the Qin state suffered heavy losses, but the Jin state lost its prestige as the overlord of the Central Plains.

If you add the Di people who are constantly harassing the northern border, although the Jin State after the Battle of Kun is still the hegemon, it needs to fight on three fronts at the same time. For the Qin State, after the fiasco of the Battle of Kun, he finally gave up the strategy of advancing eastward, and began to take the barbarians of the northwest generation as the main goal, completely pacifying Xirong, and then the Qin State focused on Xirong and silently developed its national strength.

However, from another point, the Battle of Kun did greatly curb Qin's power and laid a foundation for the continuous hegemony of the Jin State.

However, in the final analysis, it was for the sake of the country, and the Duke of Jin Xiang at that time had no such plan at all, and at the instigation of the former courtiers of Jin Wen, he led the outbreak of this war.

The battle of Kun involved a wide range of people, and a lot of people were involved. Everyone showed a different level of intelligence, and Jeongkook's businessman was too clever to come up with a plan to save his country from danger.

From the perspective of soldiers and national interests, the persuasion of the courtiers of Jin Wen also has some truth.

And King Qin's side did not listen to the persuasion of his courtiers, which was also a big problem. If it had been able to give up at that time, perhaps the Qin State would not have fallen into the ranks of second-rate countries again.

But from another point of view, the defeat of the Qin State this time made them determined to pacify Xirong and lay the foundation for later strength.

Yue Wang Gou Jian finally smiled and said: "So you don't know whether many things in this world are right or wrong, and the immediate benefits of what you want to do."

For national affairs and soldiers, if you think too far, it is actually not a good thing. Just getting the benefits in the short term is at least a good thing for you. After all, people are people, and no one is perfect. ”

After listening to this, Wei Ziheng suddenly felt a little wooden, but he felt a lot: "Thank you King Yue, teachings"
