Chapter 39: Whose Good Horse?

This couplet may sound easy at first glance, but it's actually wonderful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This is a superimposed couplet, making full use of the word splitting technique, "this" and "wood" together become "firewood", and the two "mountains" up and down together is "out". And the lower link is exactly the opposite.

Ximenqing didn't know much about couplets, but after thinking about it carefully, he also thought of a couplet, and he recited it silently in his heart, then took a deep breath and said, "I'm also a couplet." Please listen to the question! Handsome and chic, handsome and cool, graceful, Yushu in the wind, young and knowledgeable, smart and clever, lively and lovely, personable, extraordinary, the country's outstanding top ten youth, more rare three years of learning, seven-year-old martial arts, talented eight buckets, nine cars, up to astronomy and geography, down to trivial, omniscient, omnipotent, omniscient, every time you go out to walk, often lead the beauty to turn back, handsome guy jumps off the building, its advantages are as many as the surging river continuously, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control, it is really the dragon among the people, Genius of the world, red carp and green carp and donkey!"

I don't believe it, I can't fool you! At this time, Ximenqing finished speaking in one breath, and while he was angry, he thought of it with a bad taste. This is Ximen Qing's joyful comedy in later generations, in which Song Bao's sketch has a classic line.

Sima Bai was fine at first, but the more he listened, his face turned pale, where is this couplet, it is clear that Ximen Qing is disgusting with himself!

"How is it? Can you match?" Ximenqing said happily in a good mood at this time.

"You just say the next link!" Sima Baiya gritted his teeth.

"I don't know!"

"Oh. Sima Bai has been thinking about how Ximen Qing wants to respond to this uplink, and he responded unintentionally. After finishing speaking, he came to his senses, this hateful Ximenqing actually couldn't come up with it himself, so his Shanglian was temporarily trying to embarrass himself!

"You actually said you don't know?" Sima Bai thought that he was very powerful, but since he first met Ximenqing, he was repeatedly angry with him, and he didn't know how many times he was teased by Ximenqing today.

"There is no rule that you must know the lower couplet? I have heard this upper couplet before, and I can't get the lower one after thinking about it, so I brought it to Brother Sima for advice. Ximenqing said with an innocent face, and began to play the scoundrel, "Since Brother Sima can't come out, then forget it." ”

Zhao Xu, who was on the side, restrained himself for a long time before holding back a smile, and he said euphemistically: "This game is still evenly divided." ”

This time, Sima Bai understands that Ximen Qingwendou can also be smart, and this third question must be cautious, so that he can't answer it, so that at least he won't lose.

After a long groan, Sima Bai decided on the topic: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the art of war has been clouded with 'thirty-six strategies', such as the 'encircling Wei and saving Zhao' in "Sun Bin's Art of War". Do you know any other schemes?" this time he didn't say a few more points, in case Ximenqing had practiced the art of war, he would have been able to answer part of it.

In later generations, Ximenqing liked a TV series very much, called "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies", which was about the Warring States Period, and Guiguzi, a strange man in the world, had two proud disciples, one was Sun Bin and the other was Pang Juan. Pang Juan went out of the mountain before Sun Bin, and Guiguzi passed on the lost "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to Sun Bin alone. Pang Juan led the Wei army to hold on to the Chu army in Fangcheng. Sun Bin quoted "The Art of War" to offer the strategy of "going to the house and drawing ladders", and Pang Juan defeated the Chu army ....... Later, these two famous military strategists showed the most outstanding art of war and strategy to future generations.

After watching the whole drama, Ximenqing deliberately found all the strategies of the 'Thirty-six Strategies' and the profound connotations contained in them.

Ximen Qing frowned, digging into the little inspiration in the depths of his memory, and half a cup of tea passed before he slowly replied: "Sun Tzu's Art of War is the earliest art of war strategy, and it is the originator of all kinds of strategies. The original concept of the 'Thirty-six Strategies' came from this, and it had six sets of strategies: victory strategy, enemy battle strategy, attack strategy, melee strategy, and defeat strategy. ”

Sima Bai had already put away his contempt at this moment and concentrated on listening to Ximenqing's words. The 'Thirty-Six Strategies' was also very profound for him, and he had many doubts, and he did not know all of them. At this time, Ximenqing boiled it down to six sets of strategies, which had never been heard of before, so he naturally had to listen carefully.

Ximenqing took the wine as tea, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued: "There are six strategies for victory: the first plan is to hide from the sky and cross the sea, the second plan is to surround Wei and save Zhao, the third plan is to kill people with a knife, the fourth plan is to wait for work with leisure, the fifth plan is to rob while the fire is fired, and the sixth plan is to attack the east and the west. Six strategies for enemy warfare: making something out of nothing, darkness Chen Cang, watching the fire from the other side, hiding a knife in a smile, Li Dai Taozhuang, and holding the sheep ...... hand"

Ximenqing talked for a long time before he finished talking about these thirty-six strategies. In fact, what he thought in his heart was that the 'Thirty-six Strategies' were only systematically perfected in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was no comprehensive generalization before, and he didn't know if he told him now, whether it would affect the pattern of the world, and whether the Great Song Dynasty would rise because of this and open the second Tang Dynasty.

Sima Bai was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he saluted Ximen Qing with his fists and expressed his admiration: "Brother Ximen is really talented, these schemes really open my eyes." ”

Zhao Xu was also full of surprise at this time, he didn't expect Ximenqing, who was cynical all day long, to have such military theories in his stomach, and he was like getting to know him again. He also got up and toasted Ximenqing: "Brother Ximen, I have been taught!" This sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and he said it very sincerely, even I said it, expressing his high appreciation for Ximenqing's 'thirty-six strategies'.

"Then it's time for me to come up with a third question. The three of them discussed "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies" and so on for a while, and Ximen Qingcai asked: "Everyone has heard the story of Tian Ji horse racing, right?"

Sima Bai and Zhao Xu both nodded.

"This question is about horses. Tian Ji, Tian Ying, and Tian Bijiang each have a good horse. These three horses have the names of Horseman, Pine Wind and Lightning, and they also have different coat colours: white, black and brown. King Qi Wei was not entirely clear about the good horses that the three of them had, but he knew:

Tian Ji's good horse is not called lightning;

Tian Ying's good horse is called Songfeng;

A good white horse is called lightning.

Based on this information, can you tell you what is the name and color of Tian Bijiang's good horse?"

This question is the question that Ximen Qing encountered in the public examination in the later generations, judgment reasoning questions, and intellectual reasoning questions. He believed that Sima Bai would not be able to answer.

Sima Bai has never encountered this kind of problem in his life, just the horse, the pine wind, the lightning, the white, black, and brown color will blind him.

Sima Bai lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "I can't push it out." He knew that he had already lost this time.
