preface
King Qin swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiong! From Zhou Tianzi's division of the world, to the princes of Zhou Youwang's beacon fire, the heroes rose together, and finally, a western prince who was not strong at first, after several generations of hard work, step by step to the peak of history. Among them, there are naturally countless soldiers who have been born and died, and there is naturally another battlefield full of dangers.
It is not that the Qin State was strong from the beginning, nor that the princes of all walks of life were stupid and incompetent from the beginning. The war to pacify the world was not just a desperate fight with courage and blood, and the powerful national strength of the Qin State did not come out of thin air. The strength of a country is not only the soldiers who are strong and persistent, but also the wise men who can see through the fog and point out the future.
The sky is the chessboard, the stars are the children, and the earth is the pipa, and the road is the string. No matter what era it is, there will always be a name that shines with wisdom, relying on the power beyond the sword to stir up the storm and turn the tide. Their force may not be enough to defeat a well-trained ordinary warrior, but their ideas and strategies can change history.
Starting from Guan Zhongqi, the grand hegemony of the princes of Jiuhe in the world is shocking, and the name of the people's hearts is counted, and the sword is succumbed to the power of wisdom; What level did Sun Shuao stand at, so that he guided Jing Chu step by step and integrated into the Central Plains? As for Baili Xi, a late-blooming and popular Wuyang minister, Yan Ying, who has sharp words and a reputation for eternity, what convincing wisdom of life does he have? Although it is memorable, Fan Li, who is standing behind him, with what kind of letter can he cause the monarchs and ministers to turn against each other in the court, and even extend the rift between the monarchs and ministers for thousands of years? The beautiful legend of Xizi, the good name of Shangsheng Taozhu, what is the shocking right and wrong?
Shang Jun changed the law and opened the Qin Dynasty for a great cause; Qu Zi Shenjiang, leaving "Lisao" to be praised through the ages; Zhang Yi plays, under the lips and tongue, there is a power that is difficult for millions of male teachers to achieve; Wu Qi killed his wife, what kind of loneliness is contained in this? In the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" that Lü Buwei cultivated, how could he tell his own thrilling and ups and downs of historical legends!
The Chinese nation has never lacked brave generals and soldiers, and naturally there will be no shortage of sages who pierce the clouds with wisdom. Such sages do not seem to be able to completely use politicians to demarcate their scope, because their greatness is not due to their success or failure, but because of the light of thought.
In this book, I would like to show you a turbulent era, and those wise men of the past may still use their wisdom to point out the future for us today. The reason why war is cruel is that victory or defeat can determine history, and the reason why wisdom is noble is that the soul can penetrate time. When you are confused, I hope you will open this book, feel the wisdom of the sages, and taste a different life.
