Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Won!

Because winning was so devastating that Xiang Yan's soldiers fled for three or four miles before being slowly gathered.

……

When Xiang Yan came to the high hill with a livid face, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.

Is Xiang Yan too weak?

Ask yourself, can you do better if you replace yourself?

Among other things, in such a short period of time, can I command the army to form a "yoke formation"?

In the final analysis, the Yingchuan army is too strong!

There was no sound on the high hill, and everyone was still immersed in the battle just now.

"General Xiang!"

Gao Jing shouted loudly, "Here, please take a seat."

Xiang Yan's footsteps stopped, her face became more and more ugly, but in the end she walked over and knelt down silently.

It's not shameful to lose, it's shameful not to lose!

Seeing that Xiang Yan's complexion was not good, Gao Jing complained to the side of 17: "Look at you, what are you doing...why don't you know how to save some face for General Xiang?"

Zhang Han, who had been here earlier, twitched his cheeks, bowed his head and said: "The last general made a mistake, Daliang made atonement!"

Then someone saluted Xiang Yan and said, "General Xiang, you admit it."

"Humph!"

Xiang Yan snorted coldly, but still couldn't hold back, and said, "What's your name?"

"The last general Zhang Han."

"Zhang Han? Never heard of it."

Xiang Yan said coldly: "But after today, you will be famous all over the world."

And he is stepping on the name he got.

Gao Jing reminded from the side: "You must not be complacent, this time you took advantage of General Xiang's unpreparedness, and General Xiang still intends to make..."

Zhang Han clasped his fists and said, "The general understands, thank you General Xiang."

Xiang Yan snorted coldly: "Gao Jing, you don't have to provoke me...Danyang is yours now."

Gao Jing poured wine for him with a smile, and said, "Then thank you General Xiang!"

Xiang Yan drank it all in one gulp and was silent for a long time before saying, "Can you tell me how you trained such soldiers?"

Gao Jing said casually: "It's simple, the minimum way to train soldiers is to achieve orders and prohibitions. On top of that, you need to cultivate mutual understanding and sharpen your will, and above all, give soldiers faith..."

Xiang Yan stared wide-eyed, staring at Gao Jing.

The prince on the side is false, and so is Long Yangjun.

Gao Jing asked curiously, "Why do you look at me like this?"

Longyang Jun suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "The way of training soldiers is the secret of every military strategist, sir, it is so easy to say it..."

Gao Jing sighed suddenly, and said: "This is the "faith" I just mentioned. Mencius said: Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. Take justice also.

People are mortal, but why they die is very important!

General Xiang, do you think your soldiers are willing to be driven to the battlefield and die unwillingly, or are they willing to die impassionedly for their own beliefs? "

Xiang Yan frowned and remained silent.

Gao Jing said seriously: "The kingdoms have been fighting for hundreds of years, how many people died in battle? How many of them know why they died? What is the meaning of their death in this world?"

Lord Longyang couldn't help but said: "Could this be the secret of Yingchuan Army's strength?"

Gao Jing smiled, and said to Zhang Han: "Come and tell you, why did our Yingchuan army fight? Why did we die?"

Zhang Han slammed his chest hard, and said loudly: "For the common people to stay away from war, so I wait to go to war, so that future generations don't need to die in battle, so I wait to fight to the death!"

Gao Jing asked again: "How many people died in our Yingchuan army in this battle?"

Zhang Han blurted out: "Three people died at 140, and two people were injured at 170!"

Lord Longyang and the others couldn't help being shocked by the small casualties of the Yingchuan Army.

Gao Jing said: "Danyang is under my rule, and the people will stay away from wars and live and work in peace and contentment, and this is the meaning of the death of those 140 people!

General Xiang, how many soldiers under your command died in battle?What's the point? "

Xiang Yan remained silent, speechless.

"Pointless!"

Gao Jing sighed, and said: "This is the root cause of today's troubled times, the people just died because of the selfishness of the superior, and the death is meaningless!

Has General Xiang ever imagined how happy it would be to lead a group of confident subordinates to die generously for a certain lofty ideal? "

Xiang Yan finally spoke, and said in a low voice: "How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"

"Why not?"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "There is not only the Central Plains in the world, but also my Huaxia clan!

The northern wolf clan often invades our Central Plains, plunders wealth, and kills people wantonly. Wouldn't it be fun to fight to protect our Chinese people?

In the far west, there is now a huge empire that is rising. Wouldn't it be great for 633 if he could lead the Chinese army and make China famous among other races?

East, what is there at the end of the sea?What an honor it would be to engrave your name, Xiang Yan, in a place where no one has ever set foot.

The south is full of miasma and wild beasts are rampant. If this place can be transformed and the great achievements of the Chinese ancestors can be reproduced, what kind of achievement will it be?

General Xiang, why not expand your horizons a bit? "

Xiang Yan was longing for the scene described by Gao Jing, and suddenly came back to her senses, staring at Gao Jing and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "The Central Plains is too small, but the world is too big! The small Central Plains has been fighting for hundreds of years, it's time to calm down and go see the world!"

Lord Longyang asked: "How can the Central Plains be peaceful?"

Gao Jingdao: "Unify!"

Xiang Yan sneered and said, "Qin? Why not Chu?"

Gao Jing asked back: "Counting the kings of the countries, which king can compare with the King of Qin? Can the King of Chu?"

Xiang Yan was speechless.

Even Lord Longyang was silent. Compared with King Wei and King Qin, there is really no comparison!

Gao Jing continued: "Mencius said: If you want to rule the world, in today's world, who can do it better than me?

Gao Jing is not talented, borrow the words of Mencius, do you think it is okay? ".

Chapter 190 Third Return to Wubao

Comparing Yingchuan, Sanchuan and the two counties, and comparing other city-states in the Central Plains...

Xiang Yan also had to nod, and said, "Of course you are qualified to say that."

Lord Longyang also said: "If Mister doesn't have the qualifications, then others don't."

"Thank you."

Gao Jing saluted and said: "Back then, Mencius asked King Xuan of Qi: If the king has a subject, he entrusts his wife and children to a friend, and he travels to Chu State by himself. But when he came back, his friend asked him His wife and children are cold and hungry, so what should be done with this friend?

King Xuan of Qi said: Break up with him.

Mencius asked again: If a magistrate cannot manage his subordinates well, what should be done with him?

King Xuan of Qi replied: dismiss him.

Mencius asked again: So, if a country is not governed well, what should we do with the king?

King Xuan of Qi avoided answering.

General Xiang thought, what should be done with such a king? "

Xiang Yan was taken aback, and said strangely: "Are you a Confucianist? The ruler guides his ministers, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, the three cardinal guides and five constant principles are inviolable. Isn't that what your Confucians advocate? "

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Guidelines, set an example! If you can't set an example, how can you come up with the Three Guidelines? General Xiang missed the focus!

A true Confucianism should gather awe-inspiring righteousness, live in the vastness of the world, establish the right position in the world, and walk the way of the world! "

Xiang Yan stood up abruptly, said "Farewell", and left without looking back.

Gao Jing: "..."

Jun Longyang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. actually said that Xiang Yan left in a heartbeat... amazing!"

Xiang Yan was naturally moved, otherwise he would not have left in a hurry, just worried that if he continued to listen to Gao Jing, he would be completely persuaded.

Gao Jing sighed regretfully, and looked at Lord Longyang.

Jun Longyang smiled and said, "For me, sir, you don't need to waste your time talking."

Gao Jing said solemnly: "Yes, after all, Crown Prince Wei is here!"

Lord Longyang: "..."

Prince Wei: "..."

Lord Longyang looked helpless, and said: "Sir, what you say casually is a trap, I'd better say goodbye!"

Speaking of getting up, Prince Wei also got up.

After saluting, the two took their leave.

Other onlookers on the high hill also dispersed.

After a while, only Gao Jing was left on the high hill, along with Zhang Han.

He poured a glass of wine on his own, and after drinking it, Gao Jing sighed and said, "You should garrison in Danyang, and send someone to send a message that the officials can come to take over Danyang."

"Here!" Zhang Han clasped his fists and left.

The startled salamander opened his mouth and said, "Did you just want to talk about surrendering that Xiang Yan? Are you very optimistic about him?"
