Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon Chapter 67 The Situation
A gentleman should be aware of his own views and keep his righteousness, and should not easily give up his pursuit and principles because of the environment.
Confucianism seems to use this as a counterexample.
Duan Changfeng thought for a moment and replied. At that time, Mencius did not completely deny the actions of Feng Nu. His Royal Highness also knew that being a Feng woman was actually supported by everyone, but the scholars were laughing at him. At that time, Mencius's disciples also asked him to persuade the king of Qi to open a warehouse and release grain to help you, but would he no longer persuade the king of Qi to open a warehouse to save the people because he was afraid that the scholars would ridicule him?"
Not really, when Mencius said this, it was because the king of Qi was no longer willing to use him and did not want to listen to him, and Mencius himself knew this situation and was ready to leave the Qi country, so there was such a statement. Just like Feng Nu fighting the tiger again, let's not fight the tiger again, everyone is in danger and needs themselves. Let's go fight the tiger again, and give up my own pursuit and proposition, and be ridiculed by the scholars. Mencius is the same, don't persuade the king of Qi anymore, the victims of the disaster really need relief. Go and persuade the King of Qi again, knowing that he will not listen, and he is about to leave the Kingdom of Qi, and if he tries to persuade him again, haven't he given up his plan to leave the Kingdom of Qi again? What's more, if he still wants to persuade the King of Qi now, he will inevitably be ridiculed by a group of people around the King of Qi who are reused. As a result of the trade-off, I still don't want to "be a Feng woman again." In fact, the student Chen Zhen understands the teacher's situation and mood. So after presenting everyone's wishes to the teacher, he immediately said, "No return." ”
"If there is no tiger, it will be harmful. ”
"Good! If my generation acts with self-questioning and is worthy of heaven and earth, why should we be afraid of the ridicule of the scholars? Wang Chuan reminded the other party rarely. "Yang Hao, you have to don't forget your original intention in the future......"
"Keep in mind below. Yang Hao said seriously.
"It's just you!" Wang Chuan's last chess piece fell and pointed at Duan Changfeng. "That's you. ”
In this game of chess, the general trend has been achieved!
Duan Changfeng looked at it, and his heart was extremely frightened.
Others couldn't help but be in good spirits too.
"What does Your Highness want me to do?" Duan Changfeng asked him.
"Let's talk about it. Wang Chuan looked. "Where's Tianxingzi, are you leaving?"
It's a good thing to be gone.
Wang Chuan always thinks this guy is very annoying.
"Your Highness looking for me?"
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared, silently.
Xu Wei was also taken aback, and subconsciously grabbed a handful of Wang Chuan's clothes.
Wang Chuan regretted it a little, he knew that it was better not to mention it, and said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived.
"Forget it, let's discuss the next step, you all know the matter, and you have thought about it. Wang Chuan asked. "What can you do?"
"Your Highness, as far as I can see, there are still only two routes for us to return to Yangcheng, one is the Wei State and the other is the Tang State. Yang Hao immediately showed them the map and said. "I have learned from a few generals, and when I came, I took the Tang Kingdom to borrow the road, and I ...... from here."
With a slight finger stroke, there was a shallow scratch, and this was their marching route.
"As for where we're going on the way back. Yang Hao thinks. "It depends on the attitude of the two countries. ”
"What kind of person is Lord Tang?" Wang Chuan nodded to the map of the Tang Kingdom.
He was already very familiar with Wei Guo, and a few people present knew some of it.
"It seems that there has been no change of position, this Tang Lord is still the ...... back then" Duan Changfeng is not isolated from the outside world, and he has occasionally gone down the mountain and corresponded in the past ten years. Know some of the major events of various countries. "This emperor is mediocre!"
The evaluation of this Tang lord is so concise and to the point.
"Exactly, mediocre and incompetent, so beautiful. Yang Hao glanced at the generals over there. "It is said that he borrowed from the Tang Kingdom, and it was also the Lord of Jin who sent a few beauties over. If it is really so simple, we can also follow suit and go back from the Tang Kingdom. ”
"It's not so simple, although the Tang lord is mediocre, but there are traitors in the court, and he controls the government! That person is Wang Taishi......" Tianxingzi knows more about the inside story. "The Jin lord was able to take advantage of the Tang Kingdom, not only to send Mei Ji, but also to take advantage of the absence of Wang Taishi in the capital to bribe other ministers, and jointly promote this matter! But Wang Taishi returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, and angrily dismissed several ministers. It's impossible to go back from Tang this time, this person is not incompetent, I won't be surprised if he deploys troops to annihilate us!"
"Lord Jin wouldn't be unaware of today's situation, if that's the case, why did he do this in the first place?" Yang Hao said strangely.
"Lord Jin is a more inscrutable person, he must have a plan, even if these tens of thousands of soldiers die, he will not let these people die in vain, when have you ever seen him suffer. "The more Tian Xingzi knows about this, the more he can't see through it. "Since he has taken this step, he must have laid out the situation in advance, and this person must have a plan!"
"It's simple, find out his intentions first, and we can choose the one that is best for us. Wang Chuan said.
"Your Highness knows?" Duan Changfeng looked at him with a little surprise and a little surprise.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. "Wang Chuan doesn't care.
Belch......
The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.
"But just like this game of chess, it's not just one move that counts as three moves. Wang Chuan tapped the chess pieces. "We need to know what's next, and we can't let the opponent know what's next, so we can be amazing. The momentum of the art of war, with odd victory, with the right fit, nothing else. ”
"His Royal Highness is reasonable, and it seems that he has already made a decision. Duan Changfeng exclaimed.
He still only has some ideas, and he hasn't figured out how to break the game.
"Your Highness has a way?" Yang Hao was also slightly surprised.
Some people are always so good that they have a chance to win.
"That Jin Lord seems to have exhausted his last resort, so let's try it. Wang Chuan sneered, meaningful.
The others didn't think much about it, Xu Wei carefully found out that the other party did not directly call his father, and it seemed that the relationship was not too good as rumored.
I couldn't help but gently grab his hand and try to comfort him.
"Borrowing the road, I think of the ancient Shu Kingdom, Wuding opened the mountain. Wang Chuan thought for a moment.
They also understood the allusion.
After the ancient Shu kingdom in the silkworm bush and the fish stalk, the country gradually flourished, and the land occupied was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was not so easy for the Qin State to successfully lay down the ancient Shu country, and the first thing to do was to open up the road into the mountain.
King Qin Hui thought of a way, ordered people to carve five giant stone oxen, and then transported them to the border of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and put the gold behind the cow's butt when there was no one, and then immediately sent someone to claim that the divine cow descended from the sky and could pull out the gold. After the king of ancient Shu heard the news, he thought that this stone ox was a sacred object, so he sent someone to ask for it from the Qin state, and the king of Qin promised to give the ancient Shu king the stone ox, but the stone ox was too huge to be transported to the ancient Shu country. At this time, the head of the ancient Shu king suddenly made a faint move, and he actually ordered a strong man to dig a flat mountain road between the Qin State and the ancient Shu Kingdom, in order to be able to transport the stone oxen to the ancient Shu Kingdom. After the stone ox was transported back, the king of ancient Shu stayed behind the butt of the cow every day, hoping that the sacred cow could pull out the gold dung, but the sacred cow was like dead, and there was no movement, and the king of ancient Shu knew that he had been deceived, and the angry king of ancient Shu decided to return the sacred cow for the sake of face. However, the envoy of the Qin State said that we are also deceived in this matter, and we are not deliberately deceiving the ancient Shu country, in order to apologize, the Qin state is willing to offer a stunning beauty to the king of ancient Shu. As soon as he heard that it was a beauty, the king of ancient Shu was itching, so he sent someone to Qin to pick up the beauty, in order to be able to drive smoothly along the way, the king of ancient Shu ordered to build the previous mountain road more flat. A broad road from Qin to the ancient Shu country was thus created, and the Qin country was fierce, just waiting to give the ancient Shu country a fatal blow. When the ancient Shu State attacked the Ba State, the King of Qin sent the doctors Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to lead the troops to attack Shu, and the ancient Shu State suffered from the enemy, and was soon broken through the capital by the Qin army, and this once prominent kingdom perished.
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Marquis of Jin reverted to Yu Yu to cut down Yu. Duan Changfeng said another allusion. "Jin Xiangong once again borrowed the road from Yu Zhou to attack the Kingdom of Yu, and Gong Zhiqi admonished: 'The Kingdom of Yu is the barrier of the Kingdom of Yu. If the Kingdom of Yu perishes, the Kingdom of Yu will surely be destroyed with it. The ambitions of the Jin State cannot be fueled, and foreign enemies cannot be ignored. As the saying goes, 'Cheeks and teeth are interdependent, and if you lose your lips and teeth, you will be frozen.' This is exactly what I am talking about about the relationship between Yu and Yu. ’
But Duke Yu said, 'The Jin Kingdom is our fellow clan, how could he plot to kill us?'
Later, the Jin army was stationed in Yu on the way back, and took the opportunity to attack Yu and destroy it. The Jin army captured Duke Yu and Dafu Jingbo and used them as dowries for Qin Muji, the daughter of Duke Xian of Jin, but did not abolish the sacrifices of Yu and attributed the tribute of Yu to the Zhou royal family. ”
Politics is all dirty, now that the Jin lord came to pick up the prince through the Tang Kingdom, no one would believe that he would not have other plans.
The Tang lord is mediocre, but there are also smart people in the Tang Kingdom, and they will not let the Jin army go back so smoothly.
Such a situation is too difficult, once Wang Chuan cannot bring these tens of thousands of soldiers back to China, his prestige will be swept away.
Therefore, the test given by the Jin lord is not ordinary.
"I'm not familiar with Tang Guo's side, I'll discuss it later. Wang Chuan asked Duan Changfeng. "If we go to Wei, this road is also the closest. If you were Lord Wei, what would you do?"
"I have also heard about some things between the two countries, and the relationship seems to be worse than before, as well as the entanglement between His Highness and the Wei State. Duan Changfeng sighed and said. "If I were the Lord of Wei, it would naturally be impossible to let the Jin army pass, surround but not annihilate!"
Wang Chuan also nodded, in line with what he thought, it was very likely that Lord Wei would do the same.
Surround these tens of thousands of Jin troops, regardless of life or death.
Then just wait for the reaction of the Jin Lord.
If you ignore it, these tens of thousands of Jin troops will be buried in a foreign land, and the prestige of the Jin lord will be swept away.
But if it is rescue, it is too far, and in the territory of Wei, the time and place are favorable, and as many people as they come, they will be destroyed.
Even if it really comes to the point of a national war, these tens of thousands of soldiers are like chicken ribs, and it is not impossible not to save them.
Yang Hao also did not want to advocate going back from Wei, the route of Wei was the closest, but it was the most dangerous.
There seemed to be a wide net open ahead, waiting for them to get in.
"How about we go to the Tang Dynasty again?"
