Chapter Twenty-Three: The World is Chess
Pang Cong is strict in governing the army, and the campus at home is so scattered that the small yard is very clean and tidy, there is living water, there are wells, flowers and plants are different, and the four seasons are different, but there is also a special interest.
Pang Cong was not there, and Pang Nuan, as the only male host in the family, had to come out to entertain Zhao Yong although he was young. Fortunately, it is not the first time that the two have met, and Pang Nuan is also born without fear of heaven and earth, and with the fact that the crane is from the side, he says a few words from time to time, but it does not live up to this good time.
As he spoke, the topic shifted to the just-concluded Battle of Pingyi.
"Originally, in the battle of Pingyi, General Pang asked for orders to go out, and now that the battle is over, he should come back to reunite with his family. However, Pingyi has been lost, and Gao Tang must not make mistakes. As a last resort, General Pang could only temporarily garrison Gaotang to prevent the Qi army's sneak attack. Zhao Yong said.
"It is already a blessing for the Pang family to be able to get the courtesy of the two generations of monarchs and princes of the first and young monarchs. What's more, as a general, the horse leather shroud, and the loyal bones of Qingshan, naturally put life and death out of the way, and put orders in the first place, and the young monarch does not have to worry about it. "The Crane Copes coped.
"Alas, nevertheless. However, Pingyi was defeated, and Zhao was still at a disadvantage in Qi State, and the bones of the ancestor were not cold, and my generation lost its land, which was not done by filial piety. Zhao Yong looked at the crane crown and said in a slightly depressed tone.
Crane Guanzi is extremely smart, how can he not hear it, this is Zhao Yong testing himself with words. So he took care of his thoughts and said seriously, "Although Pingyi is important to Zhao State, it is not necessary. It's just that in order to resist the attack of Qi State, it is just necessary to involve more energy of Zhao State. Shaojun's worries are not about the gains and losses of this city and a pool, but because he has to look at the overall situation and know it in his heart. ”
"How's the big picture?" Zhao Yong had the heart to ask for advice, so he naturally put on an open face to ask for advice.
"Since the first year of King Zhou Ping, the royal family moved eastward, the whole world has fallen into chaos, when Zheng Zhuang Gong shot Zhou Tianzi with an arrow, it would never be imagined, opening an era of princes competing for hegemony. At the same time, the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the Duke of Song Xiang, the Duke of Qin Mu, and the King of Chu Zhuang successively became the overlords of the world, and Wu Yue in the south competed for power. ”
And after the three families were divided, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei also participated in this troubled era. It makes an already chaotic situation even more volatile. If you want to survive in this troubled world, you must learn to see the general trend of the world and conform to the way of heaven. ”
"As Mr. said, what is the general trend of the world?"
"In my opinion, although the seven heroes stand side by side, after all, it has been **** for more than 300 years, and the people of the world have made up their minds that whoever can seek the way to govern the world in this troubled world will replace Zhou Tianzi and become the co-master of the world." The crane said firmly.
After Zhao Yong heard this, he was really taken aback, it seems that this person is by no means an ordinary person, in other countries, when he was still fighting for the number of lands, he had already seen the trend of unification of the world, this kind of strategic height is by no means visible to ordinary people, and even many monarchs will not realize it. If it weren't for the future, I don't think I would have this kind of awareness.
"So, sir, who can follow this trend today, the same day?" Zhao Yong knew that he had met a master this time, so he bowed his head and asked for advice.
This time, Crane Guanzi did not answer him easily, but lowered his head and thought about it.
He didn't want to have reservations about Zhao Yong, but because, once he answered Zhao Yong, he would accept one game of bets and another person's bet by default.
"Have you really decided that you want to bet this game with me?" The middle-aged man looked in front of him with deep eyes, and the young crane raised his head and looked at him.
"Senior brother, you and I have studied for many years, deeply understood the three changes, speculated on the general trend of the world, divided into a long time, and entered the world, calculated the time of the day, and concluded that the world will inevitably end in the tyrannical Qin." Que Guanzi looked at the person in front of him and said solemnly, "However, you and I know very well that Qin Zhi****, although he barely ended this troubled world, but died in the second life, it can be seen that the way of heaven is not a strict punishment, but a way of combining rigidity and softness." Could it be that at this point, you still have to be sure of the victory of the Qin State? ”
"Senior brother, although you and I know the trend of the times, we should go with the times, rather than blindly rebel. Although the Qin State has implemented strict punishment and strict laws, but the past dynasties have fallen, and the famous generals of the British lords have emerged in an endless stream, which is given by God at the time of Qin, and it is not something that you and I can stop. The middle-aged man twisted his beard and sighed slightly, "Even so, it's good that the people can breathe." ”
"No, no, no. Senior brother, the trend of the times is inevitable, but it is not necessary to force Qin. In my opinion, the six countries of Shandong are not without hope. And today, there is a boom in changing the law and trying to save it. The reform of the law in various countries is in full swing, who dares to say that after a few years, there is no one who dares to contend with the Qin State? Crane Guanzi said excitedly.
"Despite this, I am still sure that the world will be unified with Qin. Do you remember what I once said, in the current situation, how can we unify the Central Plains? ”
"Of course, I remember that the senior brother once said, 'Looking at the countries of the Central Plains, those who are not strict in military discipline will be defeated, those who are not benevolent and righteous mobs will be defeated, and those who are unjust and unrighteous will be defeated'" Crane Guanzi repeated, "However, the senior brother also said, 'Those who make good use of the world in ancient times will measure the power of the world and carry out the feelings of the princes.'" The weight of power is not judged, and many are called strong and weak; Speculation does not judge, I don't know the movement of hidden changes' If the general trend of today is not clear, the senior brother speculates that 'the world returns to Qin', isn't it a self-contradiction? ”
The middle-aged man was suddenly speechless, he knew that although the crane was chic by nature, his heart was fiery, and his ability was not as good as himself, but mainly because his strategic height was inferior to himself, and he could only see the difference by a fraction of a centimeter, regardless of the overall situation.
"Then do you think that apart from the Qin State, who can unify this Chaotic Central Plains?" The middle-aged man asked.
Crane Guanzi stared at his senior brother, and slowly, lowered his head. Yes, what I said was nothing more than a hope, a probability. He has traveled all over the world and is slightly familiar with the national conditions of the Central Plains countries. In general, in a word: the upper darkness is not cured, the lower chaos is not clear, and the opposite is true. That is to say, the upper strata are mediocre and ignore the state affairs, and the lower strata are chaotic and unaware of the affairs of the ministers, each holding their own opinions, and contradicting everything. Today, the monarch cheers up, and he can still get rid of the evils of the times, and his ministers are disrespectful and force each other away. It is a country that can be ruled for a lifetime or a chaotic world.
"Although the way of heaven is vast, I am willing to be born and experience to prove my Taoism. I don't believe that there is no great power in the world that integrates rigidity and softness and helps the heavens! ”
Senior brother looked at him, sighed slightly, and said, "In that case, you and my senior brother might as well use the Go board in the world to play a game." ”
"The world is chess?"
"Yes, if you take this world as a chess game, the world is limited to fifty years. Fifty years later, no matter what, if you go back to Guigu, you and I will be brothers and then win or lose. ”
"Good!" Crane Guanzi was also full of curiosity for no reason, "It's going to take fifty years, and after fifty years, I'll go back to Guigu and talk to my senior brother again!" Since then, Crane Guanzi has left the Ghost Valley and traveled down the mountain to the Central Plains, hoping that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong can seek the way of heaven to govern the country, but more than ten years have passed, and there is still nothing to do. It's just that on the land of the Central Plains, the name of a person named Guiguzi spread in the Central Plains.
He knew that this was his brother.
"Sir? Mr? Zhao Yong looked at the crane crown and fell into thought, and he didn't respond to himself for a long time, so he couldn't help but call softly.
"Shaojun atoned for my sins, I lost my mind for a while." Crane Guanzi was awakened, and then looked at Zhao Yong, "What Shaojun asked, I can't finish it for three days and three nights, if Shaojun wants to listen, you can meet here another day, and I will tell you one by one." ”
"In that case, I have to bother Mr. However, I have a problem and would like to ask sir. Please, sir, teach me first. ”
"Shaojun asked."
"I want to know if the law of Shang Jun can be implemented with Zhao State." Zhao Yong had no scruples, looking at the crane crown face to face, he wanted to hear how this reclusive wise man thought about this problem.
