The eighth round, 100 steps to answer three questions
Xun Gang and the scholar stood side by side, like athletes preparing for a race, with serious expressions, as if this was a duel related to life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fact seems to be exactly like this, if Xun Gang loses this duel, he will inevitably lose a sage; This kind of thing seems to be nothing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is full of talents, but for Xun Gang, if he misses a moment, these people will inevitably defect to other places.
Just like Xun Yu I saw a few days ago, if you don't start in advance, wouldn't it be cheaper Boss Cao?
If Xun Yu is handed over to Boss Cao, sooner or later he will be killed, it is better to strike first and keep his cousin, maybe he can leave a good talk in history.
He's not here to make trouble, he's here to benefit the generals of the Three Kingdoms!
The scholar took a deep breath, glanced at Xun Gang beside him, and finally took the first step; The first step is taken, and the road behind is naturally better. The scholar walked slowly and asked, "Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. Therefore, the soldier has 'five things', which five things are asked, and what explanation does each do? ”
This sentence comes from the beginning of "The Art of War", which is equivalent to the warm-up of "The Art of War", Xun Gang naturally answered the "five things" as "Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law".
After all, he often reads history books, and if he can't even remember Sun Tzu's Art of War, it would be too much.
"The so-called way, the people and the king are of one heart and one mind, and the thoughts are the same, and the way of using soldiers can be unimpeded; The so-called heaven is called the time of the day, the change of the sun and the moon, and the change of the direction of the wind, all of which are the time of the day; The so-called land is geographically advantageous, and the mountain road and the Yangtze River moat can be called geographical; The so-called generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness; The so-called law, the foundation of governing the army, laws and regulations, repeated orders, and even official position constraints, can all be called laws. ”
At this moment, the scholar has already walked twenty steps, and in the face of Xun Gang's answer, he did not react, this answer can only be regarded as decent, and extremely rigid according to what is written in the book, neither good nor bad, barely passing.
The scholar asked again: "Our army has crossed the river halfway, if the enemy army is attacking at this time, what should we do?" ”
Xun Gang found that one or two questions from this guy were all about the art of war, and the first question could still be answered in the book, but how to answer the second question, a general Baidi who had never been on the battlefield?
The so-called half-crossing attack refers to the sudden attack on the shore troops when the enemy still has nearly half of the troops in the water, because the enemy's lineup is chaotic at this time, and it is too late to make an effective defensive formation; secondly, the number of people is very small, and it is difficult to resist the enemy's attack; Again, there is no way out, only to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. In this way, the success rate of defeating the enemy army is very high.
With this kind of opportunity, only Song Xianggong should give up blocking it......
"Why don't I block the river upstream first, and then let the army cross the river......" Xun Gang said half-jokingly.
Hearing this, the scholar's steady steps actually paused, he looked at Xun Gang with an innocent face, and said with a forced smile: "You are really a crack to break through the sky, but when you encounter a vast river like the Yangtze River, it is not practical at all......"
It's as if those small rivers are practical, and people don't see the opportunity to open the floodgates and release water to drown you...... Xun Gang himself couldn't help but complain.
"Shall I go south to find elephants to cross the river?"
The scholar stopped for the second time, looked at Xun Gang speechlessly, and after applauding lightly to show that he was speechless, he continued to walk.
"That's right, not that much money......"
Is this a matter of money, big brother?
It is not so much that the scholar is testing Xun Gang, but that Xun Gang is telling jokes to entertain himself.
Before he knew it, the scholar had walked forty steps, but Xun Gang still didn't know how to solve the scholar's second problem; After all, I have never heard of a sage who was attacked by the enemy and won a great victory.
"In this case, is there any other way than to fight against the water?"
The scholar paused, he sighed, and replied, "Although the army is still on the water, you finally have a slightly decent answer!" ”
Hearing this answer, although the scholar did not dare to agree, for a three-year-old child, this answer is not easy. And even if the scholar himself doesn't know how to solve the problem of the enemy's half-crossing attack for the time being, after all, crossing the river in front of the enemy is a taboo for soldiers!
This question is completely embarrassing Xun Gang, or is it testing how big his brain hole can be......
The scholar has already walked fifty steps, as long as the last question is not so perverted, Xun Gang is also very sure to answer it.
"The last question is pretty simple, you listen; Looking at all the people in the world, who can be called a hero? ”
Xun Gang was completely dumbfounded when he heard this question, not that he was stumped by this question, but that this question ...... Why is it so familiar?
It seems that one day more than ten years later, a big man surnamed Cao and a vegetable grower surnamed Liu in Xuchang City will also discuss this issue.
Could it be that you have crossed over by yourself?
No, I already crossed the ......
For example, today is divided into dozens of pieces by princes from all walks of life, and there is a tendency for the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period to split the world; But this trend will not fully take shape until after Dong Zhuo's rebellion. It's only April now, and it's still in the reign of the great general He Jin, and the warlords in the world still don't dare to make trouble, where are the so-called heroes?
Xun Gang himself can also name some local separatist forces, but these people have not done much at all, or they will have to step down soon, how can they bear the title of hero?
And the little Jiujiu in this scholar's heart, Xun Gang is also very clear, he took out some names of the Ming Lord from his mouth, and then tried them one by one...... I'll go, this stupid way! Shall I give you your pleasure?
As for the people who can bear the name of heroes now, there really aren't. Cao Cao is still a military captain under Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is a small Sima under Gongsun Zhan, who is far away in Changsha...... Even Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are still officials in the capital.
If you really want to list those who are divided from one side, you can say Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Liangzhou Ma Teng Han Sui, Jizhou Han Fu, Yizhou Liu Yan, Qingzhou Gong Jing, Xuzhou Tao Qian...... But among these princes who divided one side, there was no one who could afford the title of hero.
If it is said that it is a general of the imperial court, it is indeed possible to count many outstanding people, such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and so on.
However, Xun Gang had another idea in his heart.
Xun Gang asked the scholar who was walking slowly, "Your Excellency, do you know why I am called a prodigy?" ”
The scholar didn't stop, but he thought in his heart: The appearance of a prodigy in the world is not that he can read a thousand words at the age of three and memorize Tang at the age of five...... Is it five years old to memorize Han Yuefu? How amazing can you be that you're a little ahead of them?
Xun Gang saw that the scholar didn't pay attention to himself, and only cared about completing the hundred steps, he was a little speechless, and said weakly: "Actually, it is because I can predict the future that I am called a prodigy by the elders of the family." ”
"Foresight of the future?"
This is the first time that such a prodigy scholar has heard of it, even those who have attained the Dao Immortals, they dare not say that they are predicting the future, because they are too sure, if they are slapped in the face, then their reputation will be ruined. They can only say that they are calculating the future, and if they fail, they can still say that they are artificially prevaricating the past.
Foreseeing the future? I don't believe it.
Xun Gang saw that the scholar did not react much, and he was a little anxious in his heart; At this moment, he suddenly thought of something: Didn't he have the ability to predict the future? As soon as my eyes were closed, I could even know how many hairs were on his arm, so why should I bother with his name?
"Why do I bother with such a convenient way!"
Xun Gang was about to close his eyes, but he suddenly stopped; He looked at the scholar who was stubbornly trying to walk a hundred steps, and hesitated. What if I knew his name? Didn't you fail to answer the third question?
Why do you take a scholar so seriously?
"No, if I can't answer again, then I'll really lose...... I don't even know his name when the time comes, so what is it? If you can't even do this, how can you still receive other sages? ”
Xun Gang compromised, because he knew that if he didn't close his eyes, he would definitely lose; If you close your eyes, you may be able to earn a little bit of a head-start.
He closed his eyes.
The road of life is just a matter of opening and closing the eyes, changing rapidly, and it is only a moment to become dirt. In Xun Gang's eyes, which of these ancients is not a simple three-minute story?
Xun Gang saw this person's previous life and the second half of his life, his previous life was very ordinary, but he made friends with heroes; But if you look at the second half of your life, it is simply wonderful: Cast Yuan Shao, return to Cao Cao, Ping Yuan Shu, Jue Lu Bu, Kuang Cao Ming, Dingguandu, Zhan Wuhuan, collect Liaodong, until the fall of middle age, which is sighing...... Every time this person makes a decision, Cao Cao will listen, until the defeat of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao is still shouting: "If there is Fengxiao again, Lone will not be so defeated!" ”
Xun Gang suddenly had confidence, and said aloud towards the back of the scholar who was walking slowly: "Your Excellency's name is Guo Jia, the word Fengxiao, is what you said next?" ”
Guo Jia stopped and looked at the child behind him in surprise, since he first saw this child, he was surprised again and again, and now, it even made him feel a little tired.
"Exactly." Guo Jia did not hide it, and replied bluntly.
Xun Gang was energetic, and stepped forward and asked, "Can you believe in the ability to predict the future?" ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly: "But if you guess the name, how dare you predict the future?" You're funny, but you're also arrogant. Now that the hundred steps have passed, you have not answered the third question...... Pity. ”
"But I already know your name, and I won this challenge!" Xun Gang said a little stubbornly, after all, he came from the future, and he didn't feel that he should lose to someone who had already been an ancient.
"This challenge is not about knowing my name, but about whether you answered my question. My name is just a bonus, knowing it doesn't mean you won, but not knowing it must mean that you lost......"
Xun Gang was a little indignant, and the weak self-esteem in his heart burned like a fire. He walked to Guo Jia's feet angrily and shouted angrily: "Don't you want to know who can be a hero in this world? I'll tell you! ”
"A man who is a hero has great ambitions, good plans, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth!"
"How many so-called heroes are there in the world? In my opinion, it's just a chicken! In today's troubled times, who can be the number of heroes, who else can be me! ”
