Chapter Seventy-Three: Is There Really a Guiguzi in the World?
For several days, Yingji came to the residence of the new Yan Wang Ji Zhi, and after several entanglements with Ji Zhi, the relationship between the two became deeper.
At this time, Zhao Jun will also finish the king of Han, and after agreeing on the matter of cutting Yan, he formed the eight-nation alliance of Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Song, Zhongshan, Lu and Wei, and the leader of the alliance naturally gave the new Yan Wang Ji the position.
So the eight countries also agreed that two months later, they would meet under the Qi calendar to fight against the son of Yan who usurped power.
One of the reasons why the three Jin families and the Tian clan were not attacked by so many countries many years ago was that the strength of the Jin State and the Qi State was too strong at that time, and the surrounding princes did not dare to snoop on it, and now the strength of the Yan State is weak, and its usurper Zizhi has also offended the Qi State and the Zhao State, which will naturally cause the countries to fight together.
Wei Si was also in a good mood on this day, and after the trip was not successful because of the queen that day, he called Su Qin and Zilian again, and came to the Jishui place north of Daliang in casual clothes together, and began to swim on the river.
The three of them sat together at the bow of the boat, looking at the fork between Jishui and the Yellow River not far away, Wei Si couldn't help but say:
"Even if the mountains and rivers are too dangerous, they are still not as strong as the country!"
Su Qin also says:
"Of course, do you remember what your grandfather Wuhou and General Wu Qi said when they traveled to the West River?"
Wei Si smiled:
"Of course this widow remembers, my grandfather Wuhou said that the steep mountains and rivers of Wei are the guarantee of the country's long-term security, but General Wu Qi reminded Wuhou that the mountains and rivers are important, but the establishment of a strong Great Wei is the most basic guarantee!"
Zi Lian also said:
"Maybe when Wuhou said this, it was because Zhao Xiangzi relied on the dangerous Jinyang to hold on to the end to save the Zhao family's lineage and create the current Zhao Kingdom!"
Wei Si smiled at Zi Lian:
"I didn't expect Zilian, you still know this?"
Zi Lian replied:
"Since I was a child, I like to listen to an old grandfather near our house tell stories, and he often likes to tell about the achievements of the three Jin families and the Wei State, and I can listen to it so much that my ears are calloused!"
Wei Si nodded:
"I see, it seems that the old man near your house is also a learned and talented person?"
梓塘 says:
"I don't know this, I heard that the old man is Kongmen, what does it seem to be...... Apprentice of the son or something! ”
Su Qin said beside him at this time:
"Zilian, are you talking about Mr. Bu Zixia's apprentice?"
Zi Lian nodded:
"Right...... yes, it seems like that's it! ”
Su Qin immediately came over in surprise and grabbed Zi Lian's sleeve and said:
"Zi Lian, is that gentleman still near your house now?"
Zi Lian looked at Su Qin's excited appearance, and shook his head a little puzzled:
"Then I don't know, after all, it's been seven or eight years!"
immediately asked Su Qin rhetorically:
"Jizi, why are you so excited?"
Su Qin then said:
"Zilian, you may not know who this Bu Zixia is? Let me tell you, it is the ancestor of Li Kui and Wu Qi! ”
Zilian was also surprised:
"What? According to what you say, the old man and General Wu Qi are brothers? ”
Wei Si was also pleasantly surprised:
"Yes, so you hurry up and tell the widow and Jizi where your home is, so we can visit that old-timer!"
Zi Lian replied:
"Of course, my family is in Yan Kingdom, which is a very beautiful small village on the bank of the Yishui River."
Wei Si said to Su Qin:
"Ji Zi, it seems that this time the widow also has to go to Yan Kingdom, why don't you go to visit this old-timer that Zi Lian said!"
Su Qin also nodded excitedly:
"Okay, Ji Zi, I'm also begging for no one to ask for advice, if I can meet this old-timer, I must worship him as a teacher."
Wei Si patted Su Qin on the shoulder:
"Okay, anyway, Jizi, you are still young, it's time to find a famous teacher to have a good time, according to you, you will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Suddenly, at this time, a fishing boat came not far from the opposite side, and Wei Si fixed his eyes and saw that it was Chen Zhen who also came.
After Chen Zhen's ship approached, Wei Si asked:
"Chen Qing, why did you come here to help the water?"
Because of the previous victory in Hexi, Wei Si was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Chen Zhen had been named Zhongqing, and Su Dai and Ruer were both mentioned as Xiaqing, so Chen Zhen was called Chen Qing.
Chen Zhen replied with a smile:
"King, have you forgotten that when you went to defend the country, because the ministers of the court and the central government rejected me Chen Zhen at that time, in order to take me to defend the country, didn't you just let Chen Zhen and me cross this water by boat? So I want to come to my hometown again today, but I met the king, you waited! ”
Wei Si smiled:
"I see!"
After the two boats were connected, Chen Zhen also got on Wei Si's boat and sat with Wei Si and the others.
After the boat turned around and walked back, several people faced the city of Daliang, the capital of Wei not far away, and at this time, the river was obviously higher than that of Daliang, the capital of Wei.
I only heard Zi Lian say with some puzzlement:
"The terrain of Daliang City in our Wei Kingdom is too low, sitting on this boat and looking at Daliang City is like sitting on the mountain and watching the mountain."
Chen Zhen explains:
"Because this water and the Yellow River are one, and the Yellow River brings countless river sand every year, causing the riverbed to rise, plus this place has always been an important territory for the Zheng and Song vassal states to compete in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo wanted to divert the Yellow River water to flood the Song State, and the Song State had to continuously raise the embankment in order to protect the people of Daliang, so it formed such a water in the sky today, and Daliang City is below."
Zi Lian asked again:
"In this case, if this water bursts the embankment one day, won't the entire Daliang City be in danger of being submerged?"
Wei Si couldn't help but sigh:
"Although the city wall of our Daliang is strong, the only thing we are most afraid of is the Yellow River and Jishui, so we have to garrison more than 100,000 troops to ensure the safety of Daliang in the land of two rivers not far away."
Su Qin also says:
"There are pros and cons to this beam, the advantage is that it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and today's prosperity and wealth are also making the surrounding princes drooping, and the disadvantage is that if the Great Wei is really weakened one day, I am afraid that this beam will be completely submerged under the water.
Wei Si smiled:
"Therefore, the widow is working so hard now, just to let the prosperity of the Great Wei created by Daliang last forever."
Chen Zhen asked again:
"King, is it just to support that Ji Zhi this time? However, our Wei State is really far away from the Yan State, and the Yan State is poor and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to become strong without experiencing such a thorough change as the Qin State. ”
Wei Si replied:
"The widow doesn't plan to make the Yan Kingdom strong, the widow just wants the Yan Kingdom to be used as a pawn to contain the Qi State and the Zhao State in the future!"
Chen Zhen asked again:
"Then it seems that the king's next target must be Song or Wei?"
Wei Si replied:
"Yes, Wei Jun, I will clean it up sooner or later, but let's see when the time comes, after all, the current situation is changeable, and no one dares to speak lightly about the future."
Wei Si suddenly remembered the old-timer that Zi Lian said, so he wanted to ask Chen Zhen if he knew this person, after all, Chen Zhen had a wide range of knowledge, so he said to Chen Zhen:
"Chen Qing, have you heard that Mr. Bu Zixia has any famous disciples?"
Chen Zhen smiled slightly:
"People in the world, who doesn't know that Bu Zixia has two tall feet, one said; Li Kui, one said; Wu Qi? ”
Wei Si asked again:
"What about the others?"
Chen Zhen hesitated for a moment and said:
"I seem to have heard that Mr. Bu Zixia seems to have accepted a person called Mr. Guigu, and I heard that this person also taught the famous general Pang Juan back then, but this is only heard, after all, no one knows if it is true!"
Wei Si nodded:
"I see, then I have to ask General Pang Yuan when I go back!"
Wei Si had also heard of Guiguzi, and Sima Qian, who he learned in his book, described that Guiguzi was not only the master of Sun Bin and Pang Juan, but also the teacher of Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Su Qin, which must be impossible in Wei Si's opinion.
After all, Sun Bin and Shang Ying have been excluded by Wei Si, and it is impossible to have anything to do with Guiguzi, and Su Qin doesn't know Guiguzi at all, so it's just Pang Juan and Zhang Yi, so Wei Si just went back to the palace to ask Pang Juan's son Pang Yuan.
After Wei Si returned to Daliang, he summoned Pang Juan's son Pang Yuan the next day to ask about his father's ancestor, but Pang Yuan didn't know about it, so he brought hundreds of books from his father Pang Juan to Wei Si to read.
After Wei Si flipped through dozens of volumes, he found that it was all about some tactics and tactics written by Pang Juan, and there was no news of his mentorship at all.
At this time, Zi Lian came in with soup and gave Wei Si a drink, and saw that Wei Si was sweating profusely and was flipping through the books, so he asked:
"What are you looking for, King?"
Wei Si replied:
"I want to check the information of that Guiguzi, so I brought all the books of General Pang Juan during his lifetime!"
Seeing that Wei Si was so anxious, Zi Lian also wanted to help Wei Si:
"King, why don't I help you find it!"
Wei Si glanced at Zilian:
"Are you literate?"
Zi Lian took a book, opened it and practiced:
"Soldiers, success or failure depends on Yu Yong, if you attack, you should use strategy first......
Wei Si also saw Zilian's endorsement for the first time, and said in surprise:
"Zilian, you can still read?"
Zi Lian stopped and suddenly touched the back of his head:
"Wang, you also underestimate Zilian, I have learned a lot from that old man since I was a child, especially the military book written on this volume, I seem to have read it when I was a child!"
Wei Si was taken aback:
"What? Did you read it as a child? This military book was written by General Pang Juan himself before, and it has never been passed out of the world, how can you read it? ”
Zi Lian said with certainty at this time:
"King, I did read this book of soldiers when I was a child, and it was the old man who taught me, by the way, it was it, it taught me!"
Wei Si looked at Zi Lian with incredible eyes:
"Could it be that the old man you said is really the predecessor of Guiguzi, that is, the master of General Pang Juan, right?"
Wei Si suddenly thought of some incredible things in his mind at this time, could it be that this Guiguzi is really a person, and he is also a disciple of Confucius and Bu Zixia, this ...... This...... It seems that he has to go to Yan Kingdom to meet his person to truly confirm his identity.
