Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Gai Nie couldn't help defending Gao Jing: "It can only be said that what the son of Huhai did at the beginning...was wrong!"

"Forget it, Fusu is indeed better than Huhai..."

……

In September of the 20th year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin Guo sent Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, to attack Chu, and took more than 38 cities in a row. ) directly bypassed the [-] cities of Chu State and went straight to Weidi.

And at the end of the year, surrounded the beams of Wei State!

At the same time, the army in Qin State blocked the Yellow River and blocked all reinforcements.

So far, Daliang has become an isolated city, precarious.

Wang Ben originally thought that Daliang could be defeated in one battle, but he did not expect that the resistance in Daliang exceeded his imagination.

The Wei army in the city relied on the city walls and fortifications built by Daliang for generations, and defended desperately. They repelled Wang Ben's attacks several times in a row, causing the Qin army to suffer a lot.

Wang Ben saw that several attacks were fruitless, so he diverted the Yellow River to fill the city with water from the chasm...

The water invaded in March, and Daliang City was destroyed.

The king of Wei surrendered falsely, was killed by Wang Ben, and the state of Wei perished!

……

At this time, Gao Jing and his party had already arrived outside the pass, and under the guidance of Shangjun's spies, they found a peach blossom forest outside the valley.

"Wow! Is there such a peach blossom forest outside the pass?"

Ying Yinman jumped out of the carriage excitedly and ran around in the woods.

Concubine Yan followed along.

Gao Jing looked at the peach blossom forest in front of him, and asked the spy beside him, "Is he here?"

The spy said: "Yes! He will go to Shangjun every month to purchase some daily necessities...The whereabouts have always been in our hands."

Gao Jingjing nodded and said, "Okay, you can go."

"Here!"

The spy cupped his hands and left quietly.

Gao Jing greeted Yan Lingji and said, "Come on, help me move down the table, and put the food and wine I bought."

Yan Lingji acted with a smile, moved the case out of the carriage, and set up the wine and dishes.

Gao Jing was not in a hurry, just sat down by the edge of the peach blossom grove, drinking to himself, watching Ying Yinman happily playing in the peach grove.

Suddenly, Ying Yinman's laughter stopped abruptly.

Immediately after, he brought Concubine Yan back to Gao Jing, and said in a low voice, "Husband, he is here."

Gao Jing smiled and said loudly: "The food and wine are ready, why don't you show up?"

The next moment, an old man in rough clothes with a sad face walked out of the peach blossom forest slowly, stared at Gao Jing for a moment, and said, "Gao Jing?"

Gao Jing smiled and raised the wine bottle: "Exactly! Why don't Mr. Li Mu sit down?"

Li Mu walked over with a wry smile, knelt down in front of the case, and said, "How do you know I'm still alive?"

"Not only I know, but King Qin also knows..."

Gao Jing poured wine for him with a smile, and said, "You are even in the eyes of King Qin when you go out to buy things every month!"

Li Mu drank a glass of wine unpreparedly, and said: "So the one who saved Li Mu back then was King Qin!"

"Exactly!".

Chapter 220 Shangjun Sheriff, Li Mu

"This is my wife, the daughter of the King of Qin. Ying's surname is Qin, and her name is Yinman. This is Dongjun of the Yinyang family, and this is Yanlingji. The King of Qin gave her the name Yueji. Both are my concubines."

Gao Jing introduced.

The three women, mainly Ying Yinman, bowed to Li Mu and said, "I have seen Lord Wu An."

Li Mu smiled wryly and said: "There is no such thing as Mr. Wu An, right now there is only one person who is just trying to survive...Mr. Gao Jing~ good luck."

"That's natural."

Gao Jing smiled complacently, and said: "Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairies live in the Peach Blossom Temple, the Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees, and picks peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. When drunk, he only sits in front of the flowers, and when drunk, he comes to sleep with flowers; Half-awake and half-drunk day after day, - flowers fall and flowers bloom year after year...

Mr. Wu An, Gao Jing is really envious of how you, the Peach Blossom Immortal, live! "

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, repeated Gao Jing's sentence, savored it and smiled wryly: "Good sentence... It's a pity that I don't have the free and easy mood in Mr. Gao Jing's short sentence..."

Holding the wine bottle, Gao Jing said with a smile, "Are you unwilling?"

Li Mu didn't speak, just drinking the wine silently.

Gao Jing suddenly stretched out his hand.

Yan Lingji smiled coquettishly, and put a scroll of brocade in Gao Jing's hands.

Gao Jing casually threw the brocade silk in front of Li Mu, and said, "If you're really unwilling, you might as well open it up and have a look...the king gave it to you."

Li Mu didn't open it in a hurry, but asked, "It's just King Qin? Mr. Gao Jing didn't contribute?"

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Well, I just told the king a story."

Li Mu put down his wine glass, and said seriously, "Li Mu listened attentively."

Gao Jingdao: "Back then when the Shan Rong invaded the Yan State, the Yan State was defeated and asked for help from the Qi State.

At the request of the State of Yan, Duke Huan of Qi led his prime minister Guan Zhong and his official Xi Peng to attack Shan Rong.

He set off in the spring, and it was already winter when he triumphed. The vegetation changed, and the army turned around in the valley. At last, they lost their way and could never find their way back... Although they sent many groups of spies to find the way, they still Not sure where to go out of the valley.

Over time, the army's supplies became difficult.The situation is very critical, and if there is no way out, the army will be trapped here to death.

Guan Zhong thought for a long time, and came up with an idea: since dogs can find their way back home even if they are far away, then army horses, especially old horses, also have the ability to know the way.

So he said to Duke Huan: "Your Majesty, I think the old horse has the ability to know the way. You can let it lead the way in front and lead the army out of the valley."

Duke Huan of Qi agreed to give it a try.

Guan Zhong immediately picked out a few old horses, untied the reins, and let them walk freely in front of the army... These old horses all marched in one direction without hesitation, and the army followed them from east to west, and finally finally Walking out of the valley, he found the road back to Qi. "

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Old horse knows the way, it's natural."

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Duke Huan of Qi can entrust the life and death of the army on the old horse, how can the king be worse than Duke Huan of Qi?"

Only then did Li Mu come to his senses, and smiled wryly, "It seems that Li Mu is that old horse!"

"For things you don't understand, you should learn with an open mind, even if the other party is a horse... In this way, you can avoid many detours!"

Gao Jing said seriously: "For the wolf clan, you Li Mu are an indispensable old horse!"

Li Mu said with a smile: "So you sent Meng Tian to worship me as your teacher...with Meng Tian here, why do you need me, a tough old man?"

"Two reasons!"

Gao Jing said solemnly: "The first is that Meng Tian is still a little immature, and he can't learn enough. Three years is far from enough for Meng Tian to be comparable to you.

The second is the cavalry. The chariot has an incomparable advantage in the frontal charge of the army, but it looks cumbersome when facing the fast and well-roaming cavalry!

The State of Qin needs a cavalry, but you didn't teach Meng Tian the formation and training of the cavalry. "

Li Mu said calmly: "Everyone is their country, so Li Mu can't be unreserved."

Gao Jing nodded, and said, "I understand... Mr. Wu An has been to Zhao State recently?"

Li Mu's eyes were complicated, he looked at Gao Jing, and said, "Gao Jing governs the country like no other!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wu An, for your praise!"

Gao Jing made a salute and said: "Famous families can be divided into "name" and "realness". Now Zhao State is dead, but Zhao State is still alive...the name is dead in name, and the name is dead in real life. Can Mr. Wuan understand?"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???????????????

Li Mu sighed, and said: "At the beginning, I told Meng Tian that if Gao Jing dared to appear in front of me and said he would surrender to me, I would draw my sword and kill him, and I would not give you a chance to speak!"

Gao Jing laughed loudly, and said: "That's why I dare to come to see you now, and besides, I have the protection of Dong Jun of the Yin Yang family, Yue Ji!"

Li Mu smiled wryly and shook his head, drank another glass of wine, then put down the wine bottle, and picked up the brocade in front of him.

After opening it, Li Mu couldn't help being surprised and said, "Shangjun Sheriff? King Qin, don't worry?"

Gao Jing said with a casual attitude: "No need for doubters, no doubt for employers."

......................................

Li Mu looked at the brocade in front of him with an incomparably complicated expression, and at the same time there was a look of admiration. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "King Qin... the king is really the king!"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "If such a king is king, can he rule the world?"

Li Mu took a deep breath, got up and took a step back, knelt down on one knee, holding the brocade in his hand, and said solemnly: "Li Mu, take orders!"

Gao Jing also got up, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you and I will be colleagues in the future!"

"Da Liang Zao!" Li Mu seemed to have lost his burden, and his whole body was much more relaxed.

Moreover, all the decadence was gone, and the vigor exuded from the whole body - this is Li Mu who killed the wolves so much that they dare not offend him!

"I will lead you to take office later..."

Gao Jing's attitude became more intimate, and he pulled Li Mu to sit down again, and said, "Now I have something to ask... Has the sheriff seen the Great Wall?"

Li Mu thought for a while, and said, "I have seen the Great Walls of Yan and Zhao, but the Great Wall of Qin..."

Gao Jing explained: "When King Zhao of Qin attacked Yiqu, he built Great Walls in Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun to resist Hu... If the Great Wall of Qin, the Great Wall of Zhao, and the Great Wall of Yan, these three sections are connected... Maybe we will be protected forever The land of the Central Plains?"

Li Mu thought about it, and corresponding to the location of the Great Wall of Qin that Gao Jing just said, said: "If you say "Yongbao", it's a bit of a fantasy, but if you can use the Great Wall as a forward position, you can attack the wolves and retreat. ……"mouth.

Chapter 220 The Battle of Destroying Chu

Li Mu's real strength is not his commanding ability on the battlefield, but his strategic thinking!

In the past, Yunzhong County and Yanmen County of Zhao State were the most important animal husbandry areas in Zhao State, providing Zhao State with a steady stream of war horses, cattle and sheep.

However, it has been harassed from the outside for a long time. Donghu, Linhu, and Xiongnu often go south to plunder. What they want to rob is Zhao's cattle, sheep and horses, and they also want to capture Zhao people as slaves.

Hu people grew up on horseback. Every time they went south to plunder Yanmen in Yunzhong, they would come and go like the wind. The cavalry quickly passed through the defense line of Zhao soldiers, and after plundering and killing, they returned quickly. The chariots of the State of Zhao could not catch up with them, and the infantry could not stop them. Only the knights could fight them. People are helpless.
