Halfway up the hill, flags fluttered and barracks dotted. The lake below is turquoise and microwavering. An open place between lakes and mountains, deep ditches, covered with spears.

The banner of the Zhao army stood at the front, and the soldiers patrolled and sentry.

Prince Shen and several generals stood on the hillside, looking at all this, and smiled with satisfaction.

In the past few days, he has been very happy, and his original worries have been resolved. He knew that Guiguzi was a great and capable man, and Guiguzi's superb medical skills were also spread everywhere in the army. I know that Guiguzi not only understands medicine, but also understands the art of war. This made Wei Jun dare not go one step further The layout is Guiguzi's masterpiece, and after a few days of consultation, he found that Guiguzi's ambition is no longer to lead troops to fight and become an official, but to use a kind of wisdom to influence others.

He saw that the native soldiers in the army who had been freed from illness had regained their combat effectiveness, and then looked at the high morale of the whole army, and he thought about what kind of attack to launch to destroy the Wei army.

Behind the mountain not far away, the general guided Guiguzi to walk here.

For Guigu, Gongzi Shen no longer has a sense of hierarchy in his heart. When Guigu finally took out the brocade letter of his friend Yan Gongzi Ji Qing, he knew the talent of Guigu at a glance, and he admired Guigu more and more.

"I invited Mr. here today, I want you to help me plan how our army will use troops with Wei!" Prince Shen went straight to the point with a single knife.

Guigu looked at the generals and soldiers standing around, and then looked at the camp of the Wei army in the distance, and returned his gaze to Prince Shen.

The crown prince Shen Zheng looked at him reverently, waiting for the answer he gave.

Guigu knew that he wanted to win the Wei army and give himself the title of a great general. He can sacrifice soldiers, sacrifice a few generals, and even let Zhao pay half of his national strength. As long as the result is victory, he will be able to sit in the capital of Handan and enjoy the future monarch. But Guigu still wanted to try his own ideas, so he said slowly: "The general said that the soldiers are used in a battle, or are they soldiers in a battle?" ”

Prince Shen Ran Shi also looked at him.

"One battle is only this one, one battle, that is, the two sides have the result of stopping the attack."

"That was a battle, and the result was the victory of my Zhao army."

"General, you've been victorious."

"I've already had a good life, how could Mr. Guigu come to such a conclusion?"

"General try to imagine, since Li Kui changed the law, the Wei State has taken food and hard work and merit, so that there is a reward for ability, and punishment must be taken as the principle, after the change of law, the country is strong, the cultivation is active, and the inventory is abundant. In particular, the tiger soldiers trained by Wu Qi when he was a general were not only able to make the Qin army forget the wind and flee, but even the Chu army and the Qi army were also defeated at his feet. Now that Wei has become the overlord of the Central Plains, he is at war with you, and he should have conquered and won the battle. But why is it like this now, unable to conquer and invincible, how can the Zhao army be profitable! ”

"There is some truth in what the gentleman said, but the general wants to deal a blow to him, which is enough to prove that the Zhao army defeated the Wei army. You must know that in several battles, the Wei army won a big victory! ”

Guigu looked at Wei Ying with deep eyes. "General, the art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, you can not be defeated in a hundred battles. The art of war also says that those who are weak should be supplemented by the advantages of time and place, and attack them with strange soldiers. The general said to have a blow! What can you do? ”

Prince Shen pondered for a moment, he felt that Guiguzi must have something to say, and he had seen through the strength of Zhao Jun. "Then according to what Mr. Guigu said, what should I do with Zhao Jun?"

"Show weakness and negotiate peace."

"It's... What kind of face does this make Zhao Guo have in the wait? ”

"General difference! Wei has become the leader of the alliance and the target of the world. Therefore, the Qin State was eyeing the Central Plains and destroying Wei. The state of Chu wants to win the Central Plains, and it also regards Wei as a place that must be destroyed, and so does the state of Qi. If Zhao used the strength of the whole country to win a battle that would not hurt the national strength of Wei, it would invite Wei's never-ending attacks and potential hostility between the various candidates. General, you see which is more important, in fact, Wei State's original intention was not to take you Zhao State, his enemy is Qin and Qi, this is the country that must be defeated first to threaten his monopoly on the Central Plains, and it is you Zhao State who has lost its morality! ”

Prince Shen listened to Guiguzi's analysis and was indeed admired, but he was a little stunned at the last sentence, and looked straight at Guiguzi. "How do you..."

Several generals also turned from piety to anger.

Guigu knows that this life is disrespectful, but otherwise these people will not be able to sober up. "Morality, it is indeed Zhao Guo's lack of morality. Zhongshan surrendered to Zhao State, why? It is because Zhao is near, and there is a source of courtesy and righteousness. First, do not rely on strong armies to attack, and second, do not impose unkind policies. But now why Zhongshan secretly communicates with Wei and wants to belong to other states, this is afraid that the general has to ask Zhao what he has done to the small country of Zhongshan! so that they have the idea of changing their courts. ”

Tai Ma Shen was speechless, and the generals also bowed their heads. They all knew that the royal court forcibly requisitioned grain, horses, beauties, and soldiers every year, and never gave them, and even the weapons and armor to fight against the Hu people were not distributed, resulting in the villages of Zhongshan always being looted.

When Mr. Guigu said this, General Ben was convinced. Please sir into the account, I still have a consultation! ”

Guigu had already guessed his thoughts, and walked into the big tent with a smile.

The crown prince Shen ordered no one to enter.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the prince asked, "I heard that Mr. Guigu knows astronomy and geography, and he is familiar with the prediction of the occupation and supplement, can you give me a test." ”

"The appearance of the general, Guigu has long known it. In the future, the general will be able to become a generation of masters, and he will be able to leave a legacy for eternity. ”

"Thank you Guigu for the gods, I don't know where I started,?"

"Show weakness, change the law, and follow the example of the Hu people to accumulate military strength."

"Mr. Xie!" Prince Shen burst into joy. "Can Mr. stay and help Shen govern Zhao State, and I, as Mr. said, inherit the unification, and make Mr. go out and enter the prime minister."

"General's affection, Guigu is grateful, I have told you what to do, and the general only needs to choose the person who will do it. Guigu is committed to the world's soldiers, and is still in the process of training, and the people in the mountains and wilderness are unrestrained, and have not yet thought of the matter of entering the prime minister, and the general has widely applied the way of heaven, and has his own wise man to assist. ”

"Sir's grace to save the common people, the precept of the edict, never forget! General Ben wants to stay a few more days, so I can ask for advice! ”

"Good! I also wanted to ask the general to learn more about the world's candidates.

The capital of Wei is the main beam, and the merchants are constantly busy, and it is very lively. Costumes from different regions are surging in the flow of people, mixed with accents from different places. There is no atmosphere of fighting with two candidates at the same time, on the contrary, it is like a large bazaar of candidates.

Guigu, Mo Zhai, and Zhu'er walked through the bustling streets and came to the gate of a compound.

The door was closed, and Bead stepped forward and tapped the knocker with her hand.

A crack opened in the door, and the old butler came out and looked at them. "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Mo Zhai took a step forward and clenched his fists. "I'm tired of the mansion to inform the old Xiangguo, and say that Mo Zhai wants to see him!"

"It's Mr. Mo Zhai!"

"Exactly."

"We've met, we've been together for a while, I'm the housekeeper Li Chun!"

"Mo Zhai also knows you, but it's just a coarse cloth belt, a country ranger, I'm afraid that you, the housekeeper, won't recognize you!"

"How dare you, how dare you! The master respects people like Mr. Mo Zhai the most in his life. Come into the mansion and I'll report it! ”

Several people entered the courtyard and watched Li Chun hurriedly walk towards the main room at the entrance of the courtyard.

On that day, the three of them said goodbye to Prince Shen and wanted to leave silently. But Prince Shen led several generals to send them across the border of Zhao and Wei. As soon as they left the camp gate, two rows of Zhao soldiers lined up with hot eyes.

Guigu is grateful for the credit, these slave or civilian soldiers from the lower ranks are flesh and blood, and their feelings are sincere. Listening to the title of 'miracle doctor' in their mouths, I had mixed feelings. He really wanted to be with them, and what a blessing he would be in exchange for relieving the pain of others!

He looked at Zhu'er and Mo Zhai, and they felt the same way.

They crossed the border, and when they looked back, Prince Shen was still watching them from the first post of the high school.

Guigu can understand him, he really wants to keep himself, in each other's minds, he is a friend and a mentor.

Mo Zhai saw his thoughts. "Mr. Guiya, why don't you stay? It is not easy to meet such an aspiring future monarch! ”

"What? Brother Mo also made fun of me! Call me husband not brother anymore? ”

"It should be called sir, this is the honorific title you should get, and Zhu'er, you can be called a woman in the future!"

Pearls burst out laughing. "Zhu'er has gained knowledge, what sons, princes, slaves, and commoners have all seen it."

"And what kind of people does Pearl Lady like?" Mo Zhai asked.

"Of course I like people like Brother Guigu!"

Guigu and Mo Zhai laughed.

"Brother Mo asked you which type you like, son or commoner? It's good that you don't answer what you ask. Brother Mo, to be honest, the commoners are sincere, and it is difficult for the nobles to have such a heart. There are not many people like Prince Shen. Guigu looked at Mo Zhai. You just asked me why I didn't stay, I think he can change a prince, but not the one who changes the world! ”

"Mr. Guigu is indeed ambitious, and he admires him for his old age, but I am close to old age, and I can't see more!"

"Brother Mo is still afraid that he will be unknown in the future! You separated from Confucianism, became a self-contained entity, and taught your disciples to write books, and you should leave your name for future generations. To the future! It will be a unified world, and it will be a fusion of different ideas, and that will be the real world. ”

"After you are so confident?"

"Brother Mo, you see, now that the world has been scattered for a long time, and they are constantly killing each other, it can be concluded that there must be a virtuous monarch and a general to unify the world, and the way of heaven is like this. Also, the etiquette and righteousness of the aristocratic world of the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, and the waiters did not talk about it, even the commoners did not talk about it, although the avenue was one, but there were hundreds of schools of thought and a hundred words, all of which were born because of the time. Disciples and grandchildren, there must be followers, so can a unified world not tolerate the words of a hundred schools! ”

"Mr. Guigu's wonderful theory, it really made me die of old age without regrets!"

"That's why I said, in the future, I won't fight for what people say is right or wrong, but only for the outnumbered."

Mo Zhai nodded.

"I don't understand!" Jewel shouted, and Tsuma galloped forward.

"Since the division of this Wei State, under the governance of the monarch Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, it has become the leader of the alliance, it seems that there must be something that other countries are incomparable, Brother Mo, we have to stay longer!"

At that time, Wei Wenhou often consulted Confucius's disciple Zixia and his disciples Tian Zifang and Duan Ganmu. He also appointed the Legalist Li Kui as the prime minister, and implemented the reform of the law based on the principle of "food is hard work and meritorious, so that those who have ability must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished". After the Wei State became stronger, it successively attacked Zhongshan with Le Yang as the general, and Wu Qi as the general to capture the five cities of the West River (now between the Yellow River and Luoshui) of the Qin State. With Ximen Leopard as the Ye Order, the North Gate can be the sour jujube order, and Zhai Huang as the Shangqing, reform politics, build water conservancy, and indeed become a strong country for all candidates. The market here is full of flowers, princes and grandchildren, noble relatives and descendants, as well as sages and talents gather here, Mr. Guigu will definitely make this trip worthwhile. Mo Zhai smiled proudly. I heard that my heart student is also in the capital, you will definitely be able to speculate! And..."

"What does Brother Mo want to say?"

Mo Zhai smiled. "Poetry and clouds, bewitching ladies, good gentlemen! Zhu'er is smart and gorgeous, Mr. Guigu should be picked when the flowers are blooming, don't pass the flowering period! ”

The two laughed.

The three of them talked and laughed, saying that the past is the present, and they will arrive at Daliang City in a few days.

Settled down in the simple residence of Mo Zhai's disciple Bird Slippery Mud, and watched the Daliang Bazaar for two days before visiting Li Kui.

Mo Zhai respects this Li Kui because although Li Kui is from a noble family, he never pretends to be domineering. He is eager to learn from hundreds of schools, braids on the way to govern the country, and dares to defy the power of the aristocracy, proposing that the kings, grandsons, and nobles are equally equal in front of the criminal law. In particular, he vigorously promoted his own proposition of loving and skilling Shangxian. As a result, although there are differences between rich and poor and hierarchical differences, they reflect each other's hearts and minds, respect and love each other.

Zhu'er heard that Mo Zhai's friend was actually Li Kui, the original Xiangguo, and she also looked forward to seeing it. His mother brought him to his house and received help because Li Kui and his father Wu Qi were classmates and friends. I was too young to have a memory, but my mother mentioned his life-saving grace many times when she was alive. Let me feel that I am kind to see Li Kui, and I can know more about my father.

Guigu came to be contradictory, and he thought about whether to see Li Kui. Although my mother has been reluctant to talk about more of her father's generation over the years, she has already spliced together the intermittent history. But when he heard that Li Kui helped King Wei to change his law and become strong, he made up his mind to listen to the thoughts of this old minister.

The three of them waited quietly at the door, but their hearts were fluctuating.

The main door opened, the old housekeeper Li Chun came first, and Li Kui followed with the help of a young man

Greeted out. 
Mo Zhai hurriedly walked forward, followed by Guigu and Zhu'er.

The two ancient people gave up their hands deeply, which was very exciting.

Li Kui pointed to the young man behind him. "This is the old disciple Gongsun Marting, who is also a Gong

The doorman of the uncle's family. ”

"The old Xiangguo also wrote a book and passed it on, and now he has opened a house to accept apprentices, which is really a blessing for a hundred families, and it will be passed on through the ages!" Mo Zhai bowed his hand to Gongsun Martingale.

Gongsun Martingale also gave deep respects. "I often hear Mr. Mo Zhai mentioned, I will learn a lot when I see him today, and I hope Mr. will teach me!"

Guigu and Zhu'er were both stunned.

Mo Zhai pointed to Guigu and Zhu'er. "Old Xiangguo, these two are the year-old friends I made when I traveled to Yanguo Yunmeng Wonderland, Mr. Guigu and Zhu Heroine, they are the disciples of Hangu Guan Ling Yixi." Mo Zhai didn't say their identities directly, and they were also predetermined.

Guigu and Zhu'er surrendered to Li Kui and Gongsun Ying.

Two looked at it carefully. "Ihi? … In this way, your teacher is really an immortal, it seems that although the two of them are young, they are also masters outside the world, and the old Li Kui is lucky! "Say goodbye and return the salute." People are old and clumsy, I always seem to have seen them somewhere! ”

Li Chun smiled: "Come into the house and talk!" ”

A few people followed Li Kui and walked into the house.

Li Kui was thoughtful.
