Chapter 296: Sometimes, Debates Need to Be Sensual, Too!

The matter of meeting with Zhao Qiang can wait for a while, and the top priority at the moment is to study this debate.

Tomorrow's first debate competition is scheduled to start at 9 a.m., and it's past noon, which means that there is only half a day left for discussion.

"Should you kill Liu Bang...... This debate is too tendentious, right? Isn't that obvious...... Xiang Yu let Liu Bang go, and then he was defeated, if Liu Bang was killed at the Hongmen banquet, then there would be no messy things later......" Zhan Chao finished speaking, and shook his head: "To be honest, I think Liu Bang should be killed, the disadvantage of the opposing side is too obvious." ”

Liang Ruimin also nodded: "I think what Zhan Chao said makes sense." ”

Xing Yingdan looked at Yi Yang: "What do you think of Yi Yang?" Which direction do you think we should start with? ”

Yi Yang gently bit his nails and pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Lai Subin, and saw that he was smiling and had no intention of interfering with them, so he sorted out his thoughts and slowly spoke: "Hmm...... This kind of debate is not the same as the one we have encountered before. ”

"In the past, the debate topic was often a two-sided proposition, so that the pros and cons stood on their own side, so even if you just thought about it, you could come up with an argument, and this kind of historical choice debate, I think we can't look at it from our backward perspective, but should combine the special background of the era when Chu and Han fought for it, and find the answer from the political, cultural, economic and other factors of that era......"

Liang Ruimin smiled: "Ah, isn't that the same as not saying it." ”

Yi Yang looked at Liang Ruimin, also laughed, and continued: "Hmm...... I think we can think about this debate in this way...... Our argument is that Xiang Yu shouldn't have killed Liu Bang, so think about it backwards, what will happen if you kill Liu Bang, and what will happen if you don't kill Liu Bang? From our standpoint, we must not kill Liu Bang The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so what are the benefits of not killing Liu Bang to Xiang Yu, as long as we can find the answer to this question, we will have a thesis on this topic. ”

Zhan Chao couldn't help but say, "What's the benefit of not killing Liu Bang?" Don't kill Liu Bang...... Doesn't history prove that Xiang Yu will be defeated by Liu Bang? ”

Liang Ruimin also nodded.

Xing Yingdan was silent for a moment and looked at Yi Yang.

Lai Subin also looked at Yi Yang with interest, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little, Yi Yang was obviously only pulled temporarily, but now he looked like their core.

Listening to Zhan Chao's question, Yi Yang smiled confidently and said, "I guess, the other party will definitely think from this angle, but it's actually very easy to refute...... Well, Xiang Yu can't win the world, is there an inevitable connection between letting Liu Bang go? ”

"Huh?" Zhan Chao was obviously stunned.

Yi Yang thought back to the historical periodicals he had read, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said: "During the Chu-Han War, because of the influence of film and television dramas, the general public's impression of this period was that Liu Bang took a group of younger brothers, Xiang Yu took a group of younger brothers, and the two families competed for power. ”

"But actually...... Well, as far as I know, the background of that era was not like this. ”

"The situation at that time was that in order to crusade against this boss of Qin, there were many people who rebelled, and it can be said that they were all together, but Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were two relatively large forces."

"Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are each entangled in many forces, but they are not the absolute superior-subordinate relationship we imagined."

"The struggle for hegemony between the two parties is, to be precise, a struggle between two interest groups."

"According to the inertia of history, any struggle that can be defined as a war level will definitely not be decided by a few people, but will be the result of the struggle between two or more interest groups with different core interests."

"Liu Bang is just a representative of that interest group, if Xiang Yu kills Liu Bang, will there be a Zhao Bang? Will there be a Li Bang to replace him? If killing a person can eliminate an interest group, then isn't this kind of politics too child's play? ”

Several people were dumbfounded.

Xing Yingdan and Zhan Chao are both science students, and they don't know much about history by nature, and even if Liang Rui is in the liberal arts talent class, what Yi Yang said is obviously beyond the program, and she is also very confused.

The three of them all looked at Yi Yang, and Liang Ruimin saw that Yi Yang didn't speak, so he asked, "So there will be a Zhao Bang?" Go on! ”

Yi Yang shrugged helplessly: "I'm just proposing an idea...... That is to say, if the other party wants to prove that Xiang Yu can win the world by killing Liu Bang, we can think about it and refute it in this way, but what the answer is, I don't know, if everyone has no opinion, we can follow this line of thought to find information...... Tunghai University's library should be able to find something that will benefit us, right? ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Xing Yingdan looked at Lai Subin: "Teacher Lai, what do you think?" ”

Lai Subin nodded approvingly: "How can you say it, you can think like this." ”

Zhan Chao thought for a while and said, "But what if we find that the facts are different from our position in the process of searching for information?" ”

Lai Subin said meaningfully: "Then it depends on how you interpret and how you filter the information." ”

After a pause, he continued: "History is not clear, and debate is also unclear. ”

"And the combination of the two, it is even more unclear, many debate questions, in the hearts of the audience and the judges have already had a preset answer, and even some points of view you do not agree with, but this is a debate, you have to learn to stand on the opposite side of the contradiction to think about the problem, which will open up your way of thinking."

"The point of the debate is to make the truth clearer and clearer, you have to know that a good debate, the audience can see it more clearly than you, and when you each throw out your own opinions and arguments, the audience sometimes gains more than the contestants."

"In addition, what you have to do is not to convince others, the essence of the debate tournament is a battle of offense and defense, you attack, even if some points of view are not so correct, but the opponent does not defend it, then you are successful in the debate arena."

……

The search for information began.

This debate is different from the kind of debate that I have played in school before, in order to win, it must be based on the arguments and arguments provided by the history books, and for pure science students like Xing Yingdan and Zhan Chao, it is still a headache to find historical materials, but this makes them a little excited.

Yi Yang looked at the expressions of the other people and smiled slightly, he could probably feel that their thoughts were similar to his own...... How to put it, it's a feeling of "this kind of debate is interesting".

Even if you lose, the process will be very rewarding.

The four of them found a small corner of the library and sat down.

Yi Yang glanced around the library.

It was also his first visit to the university library.

For many universities, the library is one of the landmark buildings, and Tunghai University is no exception.

Tunghai University has two libraries, and the second library where they are located at this time is a new type of library that was built after entering the 21st century, and from the outside it is a red square building, which is nicknamed the Red Building by the students of Tunghai University.

The library has four floors and has a huge interior space, with the first three floors being paper books and the fourth floor being an electronic library.

There are many seats in the library of Tunghai University, and there are many vacant seats, at a glance, many students are silently absorbing the nutrients of books here, although there are many people, but quietly they can only hear the rustle of turning books and pen tips across the paper, Yi Yang thought to himself, there may be a certain big man who will dominate a certain field in the future is developing silently.

Then they began to search for information.

At first, I was not proficient, and it was not easy to find the materials I needed in the library of the University, but fortunately, there is now computer search software that can find the corresponding location of the book, and the librarian does just that.

The huge floor-to-ceiling window is bright and clear, the sunlight is not dazzling, obliquely shining on the desktop in a certain position, a boy is a little tired from reading, so he stares at the light bar on the desk in a daze, suddenly the light disappears, he turned his head sideways, only to see the girl sitting next to him closed the curtains, he smiled embarrassedly, continued to study, the girl showed a satisfied smile, gently touched the boy's hand.

Yi Yang silently watched the small movements of the little couple not far away for a while, and felt warm.

That's what the university ......

People who have a clear direction and a clear purpose strive to do what they like in a free atmosphere...... And the people who can still be together.

sighed slightly, withdrew his gaze, and put it on his desktop.

Everyone took turns searching for information, and there was already a thick stack of books in front of them.

……

Before checking the information, everyone felt that this debate was unfriendly to the opposing side, but after checking the information, everyone found out......

This argument is very unfriendly to the opposing side!

It was too difficult to prove that it was beneficial for Xiang Yu to let Liu Bang go......

In the end, Zhan Chao even had a bit of a collapse in his mentality, and whispered angrily: "Well, why do you want to let Liu Bang go!" It's time to kill Liu Bang! ”

Yi Yang is also a little nerve-wracking, although he can indeed find some "benefits" in the historical materials to let Liu Bang go, but if he wants to use this to make an argument, it is still a little weak.

However, it was not without gains, everyone spent an afternoon looking up a lot of information, at least they had a deeper understanding of the history of that era.

Yi Yang also realized a truth, learning, must be with a purpose to learn the most efficient.

And the more specific and detailed this purpose is, the more you will gain.

When I came out of the library, the sky was turning from sunny to overcast, and the sky was grayish and white with high clouds, but fortunately there was no sign of impending rain.

At this point, everyone was a little frustrated.

Liang Ruimin said: "What about our teacher Lai? ”

Xing Yingdan shook his head: "Alas...... Our instructor is really ......."

Zhan Chao laughed: "This is training us." ”

Xing Yingdan looked at Yi Yang: "Yi Yang, do you have any ideas?" You are a debater. ”

Yi Yang thought about it seriously, but still shook his head: "Hmm...... After thinking about the direction of several arguments, I don't feel very ideal. ”

Zhan Chao and Liang Ruimin were also pondering, Xing Yingdan sighed, and said a little nerve-wracked: "No way, I didn't expect the first game to be so tricky...... Now the draft of the debate has not come out, but we can prepare in advance for the questioning and questioning session, mainly because the time given is too short, and there is only half a day to prepare for tomorrow's competition...... Alas, but don't be discouraged, your on-the-spot ability is very good, we don't have time to prepare, and so is the opponent, so let's see how you play on the spot. ”

"Yi Yang, you must get a defense draft out today, no matter how late it is!"

Yi Yang nodded.

"Okay, let's go to dinner first, and then go back to the hotel and go our separate ways."

After having dinner together, Yi Yang was still thinking about the topic, and it was not until he returned to the hotel that the phone rang and he reacted to the agreement with Zhao Qiang.

Because it is a hotel booked by the organizing committee of the event, it is naturally unlikely to give each person a single room, but Yi Yang has money now, and of course he doesn't want to squeeze a room with another person, so he told Zhan Chao that he slept and snored at night, and in order not to affect his rest, he decided to open another room at his own expense.

Zhan Chao is certainly happy about this.

At this time, in a separate room, Yi Yang picked up Zhao Qiang's phone.

The hotel where Zhao Qiang stayed was a little more upscale than theirs, but it wasn't far from here.

It just so happened that he didn't have any ideas now, so Zhao Qiang proposed to take a walk around the neighborhood, and he agreed.

Suddenly thinking of Xing Yingdan's "advice", Yi Yang groaned slightly, and asked again: "Shall I bring someone out again?" ”

Zhao Qiang was stunned: "Uh...... Okay, men and women? ”

"Male."

"Man......"

"Huh."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang changed into casual clothes and went out to knock on Xing Yingdan's door.

"Who?"

"Me."

"Yi Yang? Can I help you? Xing Yingdan opened the door.

At this time, Xing Yingdan had already changed into a dress, Yi Yang felt that it was pajamas no matter how she looked at it, her calves were white, adding a bit of cuteness, which made Yi Yang a little dazed for a while...... It's a little different from the Xing Yingdan in that impression.

Yi Yang said quietly: "I'm going to go shopping around, don't you want to go out too?" I'm calling you. ”

Xing Yingdan's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Okay! You wait for me. ”

Yi Yang sighed slightly, he was really afraid of hearing the girl say the word "wait a minute".

But what he didn't expect was that just because he was muttering, Xing Yingdan had already stood in front of him again.

She just went back and put on a small pair of leather shoes.

Yi Yang was a little surprised: "You are going to go out like this?" ”

Xing Yingdan said nonchalantly: "Casual shopping, it doesn't matter, my head is just a little blocked, maybe it's good to go out and breathe, it doesn't matter what you wear, and it doesn't matter what others think." ”

Yi Yang sighed slightly and nodded: "Okay." ”

"Do you want to call Zhan Chao and Liang Ruimin?"

"One of them is taking a show, and the other is watching a show."

"Oh, forget it."

On the road.

It was getting a little darker, but it wasn't quite dark yet.

Xing Yingdan turned around and asked Yi Yang, "Do you have a clue?" ”

Yi Yang groaned slightly: "Hmm...... I can't say it's a clue, but I do have a little idea. ”

Xing Yingdan was a little surprised, "What do you think?" ”

Yi Yang shook his head: "After thinking about it now, it's better to think about it like this...... Have you watched Huang Zhizhong's game? ”

"Huh? Nonsense. ”

Although Xing Yingdan's idol said Hu Jianbiao, Huang Zhizhong's game was naturally watched.

Yi Yang said seriously: "Debates are often based on logic and rationality, but Huang Zhizhong has some classic competitions that bypass rationality and use sensibility to impress the audience and judges. ”

Xing Yingdan was slightly stunned, frowned and said, "Hmm...... What are you going to do? ”

Yi Yang was silent, his eyes fixed on the front.

"You ......" Xing Yingdan just spoke, and was suddenly slightly stunned.

A tall young man in front of him waved his hand at him.

Xing Yingdan looked the boy up and down, and muttered a little, this person knows me? It's embarrassing, I forgot about him...... It shouldn't be, such a tall person......

Just as she was about to respond, the young man suddenly trotted over.

Feeling even more embarrassed, she raised her hand and was about to say hello......

The man walked up to Yi Yang and punched him in the chest.

Xing Yingdan was slightly stunned, her hand was still hanging in the air, and she exclaimed in her heart...... the groove.
