Mr. Guigu held a few cases with both hands, and said calmly: "The strength of the Qin State is already a fact that a discerning person can know at a glance. Qin Xiaogong reused Shang martingale, Qin State was a new look, Qin people besieged the capital of Wei Anyi, forcing Wei to move the capital to Daliang. The land of the West River, where I used to study, has also changed hands to Qin, isn't it a sigh! ”

"The disadvantage of today's Eastern princes is that they are narrow-minded, fighting for petty gains, and still trying to annex their neighbors and enrich themselves. Don't you know that the Qin State has seized the opportunity, and the latecomers will have to work hard to catch up. ”

"It is impossible for the Qin State to give them a chance to catch up easily. The country of Qi originally had a glimmer of vitality to be strong, but listening to Bin'er, there were many internal contradictions. Alas......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Guiya sighed lightly. Tian Ming was even more annoyed when he heard Mr. Guigu sigh for Qi Guo, but as a junior, he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only listen.

Su Qin and the others understood Master's temper, and knew that he already had a strategy in his chest, and paid more attention to Master's words, how could Sun Bin not be like this, he asked a little eagerly: "Nevertheless, what is Master's strategy?" ”

Mr. Guiya looked at his disciples and continued:

"It's not impossible to save the situation, but it's difficult to implement, and I'm afraid I won't see it in my lifetime. If we talk about the future development of the situation, the key lies in one vertical and one horizontal, and if the vertical is successful, the eastern princes can seek to unite and protect themselves for 200 years. ”

"Maintain the current situation unchanged for 200 years, and wait for the Qin State to make mistakes, once the Qin State has internal changes, it may collapse for thousands of miles due to the anthill, and then the political situation will change, and the situation in the world will be new. On the contrary, if Lian Heng succeeded, the Qin State successfully provoked the internal strife of the eastern princes, reaped its benefits, and accelerated the annexation of the princes. ”

"Therefore, between vertical and horizontal, it is indeed a matter of the world." Mr. Guiya sighed.

When Sun Bin heard this, he admired Mr. Guigu's earth-shattering calculations. He asked eagerly again, "Master must have already had a clever plan to implement the vertical and horizontal strategy, and the disciple has the courage to ask Master Master to beg you for guidance." ”

Mr. Guigu wanted to say goodbye, and he replied briefly: "The key to vertical and horizontal is the opportunity to lobby and accurately judge the situation, both of which depend on insight into people's hearts and grasp the opportunity. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Bin twice in a row. Seeing the master's expression, Sun Bin guessed that he should have taken into account that there were outsiders present today, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he immediately restrained his curiosity and nodded vigorously. Everyone was speechless for a while.

Tian Ming waited to listen to Mr. Guigu's clever plan, but when Mr. Guigu clicked, he wanted to peep but had no way, and he was a little annoyed. He thought about how to change the topic and stop talking about the world.

He suddenly remembered Gao Sheng's sword, so he interjected: "I saw a sword made by Gao Sheng, the great son of the Western Tumo Family, today, and it was like a flash of fire, which was very magical. I don't know what kind of treasure it is, how come I've never heard of it. The two masters are well-informed, so they must know some of their origins. ”

Mr. Guigu listened to Tian Ming's description, sighed, and said in surprise: "Could it be that the legendary Fire Spirit Sword is really something?" It's a pity that I lived to be over eighty years old and never saw it. Bin Er, you have been through a hundred battles, have you ever seen this thing? ”

Sun Bin replied, "I didn't have a chance to see it. But there are strange products in all parts of the world, and the nature is unpredictable. Zhan Lu and Juque of the Yue Kingdom, the cadres and Mo Xie of the Wu Kingdom, and the Lady Xu Sword of the Zhao State were all produced by the extremely accidental encounter between nature and artificiality. ”

"The Fire Spirit Sword is said to have been forged by the red stone brought back from Kunlun Mountain by King Mu of Zhou, and it is not strange that the Qin State inherited the hometown of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it is not strange to have this thing. What is surprising is that after more than 400 years, it has reappeared. ”

"Yes, they are priceless treasures from creation." Mr. Guiya was also amazed.

He looked up at Su Qin and the others and taught them: "Although the sword is magical, the messenger is in the person, and the right person can be the best in the world with the right sword." ”

Su Qin and the others respectfully lowered their heads and said yes. Tian Ming didn't think so, and thought: "All swords, everyone gets them, and their strength is greatly enhanced, just like a horse with wings, rampant all over the world." Why bother looking for the sword of conjunction? ”

Sun Bin found that Tian Ming looked disdainful and was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't reprimand him in public, he saved face for him, and just gave him a blank look.

Sun Bin thought that Master Guigu did have a strategy to deal with the current situation, and he was overjoyed. However, after thinking about it carefully, I can't help but worry:

"If Master falls into the hands of the Qin State, his lofty theories will be fully known to the Qin Jun, and the Eastern Princes may only have the fate of being slaughtered by others." He was secretly determined to persuade Mr. Guigu to settle in Qi State.

The Su Qin brothers and Zhang Yi listened to the conversation between Mr. Guigu and Sun Bin and felt very enjoyable. They have benefited a lot from their eyes.

They usually listen to Mr. Guiya's teachings, focusing on mastering the skills of oratory and diplomacy, and do not think much about their deep meanings.

The dialogue between Guigu and Sun Bin is the most vivid example, Su Qin and others are like martial arts juniors watching the battle of the top masters, and have a new understanding of the deep meaning and changes behind the routine.

The master and apprentice talked happily, and before they knew it, it was late at night. Considering his master's old age, Sun Bin proposed to rest early. Mr. Guigu was also worried that Sun Bin would not be able to bear it, so he nodded in agreement. So, everyone withdrew from the feast and rested.

Mr. Guigu hadn't seen his lover for many years, and wanted to talk to him about some private things, so he arranged for Sun Bin to sleep with him in the inner room. Su Qin and the others went back to the house to sleep.

Waiting for everyone to disperse and rest, Sun Bin suddenly took out a silk book from his arms and respectfully handed it to Mr. Guigu.

He said: "The disciple has devoted his life to writing a book on the art of war, and I implore the master to accept it. The disciple understands that the master is proficient in the way of using soldiers, and my art of war is a small skill of carving insects, which is not worth a sigh. However, after all, it is the result of years of research, and I can't bear to abandon it. ”

Mr. Guigu stepped forward to take the silk silk, and saw columns of small characters written on the snow-white silk. Mr. Guiya skimmed it and couldn't help but applaud. Praise:

"You have experienced great battles, and your knowledge is extraordinary, and you were just enlightened when you were a teacher, how can you be as knowledgeable and discerning as you are."

"This art of war is a great way to think about it, especially the understanding of what is right and wrong, what is important and powerful, and how the country is rich and the army is strong, and so on, and it cannot have such a comprehensive and superb thinking without a lot of actual combat experience and careful consideration."

"A person with ordinary qualifications can win the battlefield if he has this art of war, and if a talented person can read this book, he will surely win a hundred battles. It's just that you give this book to the teacher, what should the teacher do with it? Today, Qi Wangtian is also a promising king, and getting this treasure book is like a tiger with wings. ”

After Sun Bin handed over the art of war to the master, he stared at the master's expression a little nervously, and saw that he had analyzed the head of the way, and a hanging heart was relaxed. Master's evaluation of the art of war is to the point, if you don't have a full military quality, how can you have such an in-depth understanding. Sun Bin thought to himself: "Those who know me, so does the master." ”

He replied to Guigu and said, "Master praises it, how dare a disciple take responsibility." A clumsy work, bothering the master to preserve. The disciple was a native of Qi and could have given the art of war to the King of Qi. ”

Sun Bin said this, sighed, and said bluntly: "However, the hedonistic atmosphere of Qi has always been strong, and now the king of Qi is so happy, poor and extravagant, and likes literature and abandons martial arts. It was the person who played the pipe, and there were as many as 300 people at a time, and I don't know how many of them were swaggering and deceiving people who ate and drank. ”

"Even if the disciple gives this military book to the King of Qi, I'm afraid he won't pay attention to it, and he will soon fall into the hands of that sinister villain."

Mr. Guigu understood Sun Bin's worries, and he said, "It seems that the people of Qi do prefer dogs and horses. Thinking that Tian Chang, the ancestor of King Qi, in order to have more children and usurp power, he actually married more than 100 wives and concubines, indulged the guests in the inner room every night, made phoenix friends, mocked the wind and the moon, and had fun. As a result, the atmosphere of the Qi country was greatly damaged. ”

"However, the folk customs of other countries in the world were also very open, even the Qin State also connived at the princess's fornication with the king of Yiqurong. It's just that Qin's move has a purpose, but Qi is addicted to it and can't extricate himself, it's a pity! ”
