But the great sages in the pre-Qin period didn't care about this. If you are wrong, you are wrong. As long as I think you are wrong, I will criticize you, even if you are Confucius.
Similarly, if you think I am wrong, then just complain directly, I will never use my power to suppress you. Hey, what are you hiding from?
People make mistakes, and no one is always right. So everyone dares to question, dare to question, and constantly introduce new things.
For example, Mohists' non-offensive and opposition to unjust wars are rarely mentioned by Mohists now. Mohists know that this idea is not wrong, but it is not suitable for this era.
There is also non-music. Mozi believed that music has no productive role in the country and is a useless thing. Large-scale music should be abolished, get rid of the shackles of ritual music that divides classes, and abolish the tedious and extravagant production and performance of chimes. Originally, this kind of thing is not It was completely wrong, but Mozi later opposed folk music and went to the other extreme. The Mohists did not insist on it, but made timely changes.
Of course, the Mohists still insisted on more things, such as festival funerals. The Mohists' views are completely opposite to Xunzi's in this aspect. Xunzi believed that funerals should be decorated with life as death, stories should be as dead as life, and events as dead as existing.
There is also Ming Gui. Xunzi also has a completely opposite attitude to Mohism in this regard.
The two sides often quarreled in this regard, and no one took a step back. If they didn't agree, they would take action. One of them could always beat the opponent to the ground.
Ever since Handan College's arena was built, it has never been empty. People are being carried off injured every day, and the medical school has received many experimental products for free.
These people would still restrain themselves at first. After all, everyone wanted to save face and were worried about really hurting each other. But after seeing the medical skills of the medical school, they completely let go and punched almost to the flesh. However, everyone Still enjoying it.
This is also one of the reasons why the thoughts of the Pre-Qin period were extremely prosperous. No other period in later generations can compare with this period. For the next two thousand years, to put it bluntly, they were just eating at the foundation of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
Half a month later, Cai Ze brought news from Yan State. As expected, the State of Yan did not refuse and agreed to send troops together with the State of Zhao.
This matter will be of great benefit to Yan State without any harm. Zhao State is far away from Donghu, and it cannot occupy the territory it conquers, so it can only benefit Yan State in vain. Yan State can also use Zhao State to weaken Donghu, so Yan State agreed without saying a word.
However, at this moment, a letter from Wei State asking for help interrupted Zhao State's plan.
"Calling all the people together for discussion." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
Since the actual war with the Xiongnu, Zhao Kuo has not paid much attention to the war between Wei and Qin. Wei has South Korea and Chu to help. Although Qin is powerful, it has not returned to its peak after all. It is not that easy to defeat Wei. Easy.
It is more likely that both sides would leave some corpses behind and then retreat silently, pretending that none of this happened.
Zhao State achieved the purpose of weakening Qin and Wei.
The situation afterwards did develop according to Zhao Kuo's guess. Wei could not attack for a long time, and Qin was also unable to defeat Wei. Both sides were training troops on both sides of the Yellow River.
However, just a month ago, Qin suddenly sent troops to attack Yiyang, South Korea, and South Korea immediately ordered the frontline troops to withdraw.
Chu State took a look and saw that there had been no progress in the past few months. Now that South Korea has withdrawn, isn't it even more hopeless? Then why do I stay here and get beaten?
withdraw!
Then the Chu army and the Han army were attacked by the Qin army ambushing on the south bank of the river. The two armies were defeated miserably. If Bao Yuan hadn't run so fast, the Han army and the Chu army would have lost at least half of them.
】
Seeing this, the State of Wei could only send troops to support. After all, the two countries also wanted to help the State of Wei. Although they failed to help and spent several months of food and grass in the State of Wei in vain, the friendship still had to be said.
Then the Qin State took the opportunity to cross the river and attack the Wei Army. However, Jin Bi was also a veteran on the battlefield and had already expected this. He left the Mangmao Palace behind and defeated the pursuing Qin Army. Later, he was defeated by the main force of the Qin Army that caught up.
Later, Wang Hao led 100,000 Qin troops to defeat 200,000 Wei troops.
The 200,000 Wei army was defeated by the Qin State. Let alone attacking Hexi, it is hard to say whether Hedong can be defended. This is because Bai Qi did not accept the order, otherwise none of the 200,000 people would be able to come back.
"What a waste. The Three Kingdoms were fooled around by the Qin State. Two wastes, Jin Bi and Mang Mao, led an army of 200,000. They couldn't even defeat Wang Lu's army of 100,000." Zhao Kuo threw the information on the table and said angrily said.
Zhao's plan was completely destroyed by Wei and Qin. Now there are only two ways in front of Zhao. One is to continue to attack Donghu according to the previous plan and ignore Wei. The other is to give up attacking Donghu and support Wei. Both paths have their own pros and cons.
"You can't fight Donghu, but you can't help Wei." Han Fei said immediately.
As a Korean prince, although he is in the Kingdom of Zhao, his feelings for South Korea are hard to let go. Wei and South Korea are at odds with each other. Saving Wei at this time is equivalent to saving South Korea.
"The east of the river cannot be occupied by the Qin State. Once the Qin State occupies the east of the river, they can attack our Zhao State Jinyang in the north and Shangdang in the east. Therefore, the general feels the need to help Wei State resist Qin State." Lian Po also pointed to the map and said.
"Where is the main force of Wei now?" Le Yi asked.
"According to intelligence, Wei is now defending Anyi." Liu Ping said.
"The general suspects that Qin's goal may not be Hedong, but Sanchuan." Le Yi pointed to the map and said, "Wei is strong and South Korea is weak. It is easier to attack Sanchuan than to attack Hedong. Moreover, the location of Sanchuan is more important than Hedong. Hedong Although the strategic location is excellent, it borders our Zhao State. The Qin State will definitely not want to conflict with our Zhao State at this time, just like our Zhao State does not want to conflict with our Qin State."
"But our country has already negotiated with the Yan State to attack Donghu, so it would be inappropriate to suddenly go back on it." Cai Ze said awkwardly. If the news had arrived half a month earlier, he wouldn't have had to make this hard trip.
"It doesn't take too many people to attack Donghu. You can leave 30,000 to 50,000 cavalry, commanded by a good general, and add Rong and Di auxiliary troops, which is enough to defeat Donghu." Xunzi said.
Zhao State attacked Donghu not only because of the Sirius God. With the destruction of the Xiongnu, friction between Zhao State and Donghu also began. This battle is inevitable. The earlier the attack, the greater the benefit to Zhao State.
But because there is a Yan country sandwiched between the two countries, this battle will not end with the destruction of the country like the Xiongnu. At best, Zhao could only weaken part of Donghu's strength.
Zhao Kuo glanced around and said, "In that case, let Northern Xinjiang be handed over to Li Mu. I will leave you an army of 50,000, and Zhao Feiqi will also stay to help you. Cai Ze, Li Si, you two stay Assist Li Mu."
"No." Li Mu, Cai Ze, and Li Si said with fists clasped.
"Others will go south to Hedong with me to support Wei."
