Several years have passed since the two sages Laozi and Confucius met. Over the years, the academy has become more and more prosperous, and countless sparks of ideas have bloomed in it. The quantity and quality are so high that even Luo Shi has no time to copy them. .
The Luo Kingdom even began to purchase blank bamboo slips from neighboring countries. Luo Ci was in poor health, but he still couldn't help but laugh when he saw the volumes of books entering the family leader's ring.
Ji Zhao was even happier than him. Laozi and Confucius gave lectures in the academy, and every time a large amount of luck flowed in. He couldn't help but sigh, Luo Xiu was worthy of being the son of destiny. Even though he has passed away, he The academy established is still playing a huge role.
In Luo Palace.
Luo Yan clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Soldiers are also deceitful. This is really a profound insight. I have read it several times in the world. Is there anything that can sum up the art of war better than these five words?
You are truly a sage in the art of war! "
Qing Ji and Sun Wu knelt down opposite Luo Yan. They came to borrow troops from Luo Yan. Unlike the ideological giants like Laozi and Confucius, Sun Wu was not only an ideological giant, he was a military strategist and commander. A super fierce man with talent potential reaching 99%.
Hearing Luo Yan's praise, Sun Wu shook his head and said: "The prince is really ridiculous.
The way of the army is broad and profound.
The choice of general is naturally the most important. It is said that one general is incompetent and the entire army will be exhausted.
But whether the country is strong, whether the people's hearts are loyal, whether the monarch and his ministers are wise, and whether the superiors and subordinates are united, this is the key to victory or defeat.
If Qu State fights against Qi State, it will be victory in ten battles, but Qu State will eventually fall. "
Luo Yan said sternly: "There are two sages, Boyang Gong and Zhongni Gong, in the academy. They have great ways to govern the world, but whether they use them or not, among the monarchs of other countries, this is a matter of submission to the emperor.
This is not the case for Chang Qing. As stated at the beginning of this book, soldiers are the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way to survival.
The important affairs of the country are wars and sacrifices. If your book is circulated among the countries, the kings of the countries will definitely flock in and offer you the position of general. "
This volume of Sun Wu's book is enough to make a family prosperous for thousands of years. It is indeed an extremely precious book.
Military sages are different. This kind of professional knowledge will not be easily passed on to outsiders. It is usually passed down from family to direct disciples.
The time when Sun Wu was born was really unlucky. The Central Plains was in a period of truce. The only place where there is still war is in the southeast, between Wu and Yue, and between Wu and Chu.
Although Sun Wu was still young, he couldn't be so wasted. Qing Ji saved his life, and with his character, he naturally wanted to repay him.
The most important thing was Qingji's heroic character, which appealed to him very much, so he decided to help Qingji regain his position as king.
This volume was handed over to Luo State, but Sun Wu had conditions. He not only had to lend more chariots, warships, and elite soldiers, but also it could not be passed on to anyone else.
Of course Luo Yan agreed. Most of these books were originally circulated in the public office, and in most cases they only taught knowledge and did not teach books.
Qing Ji said loudly: "Prince, as a soldier, if you are not destined to be a great minister, your ability as a minister is probably not inferior to that of King Wu and King Su.
With the help of your elders, and the fact that I am brave enough to defeat the three armies, the journey back home will be smooth. When the time comes, Wu and Luo will still be close allies. "
King Wu was ordered by heaven to send his troops to destroy Shang. He was invincible in battle and invincible in every attack. A single battle in Muye determined the world.
King Su conquered the east and destroyed dozens of countries. All the old tribes of Yin and Shang moved to the southeast, laying the foundation of Zhou Dynasty for 500 years. No one who came after had ever dared to challenge such illustrious martial arts.
But Luo Yan didn't know how to refute. King Su was an all-rounder, omniscient and omnipotent, but that didn't mean that there wasn't anyone who could compare with him in a certain aspect.
Just as a soldier, Sun Wu was indeed a sage-like figure.
He nodded and said: "The ability of Changqing is rare among all the Xia countries. If I don't borrow wind, rain, thunder and lightning to help me, I'm afraid I can really stand up to King Su."
Sun Wu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, borrowing wind, rain, thunder and lightning, who can win this battle?
Luo Yan thought for a while and said: "The prince has recruited five thousand warriors in the Luo Kingdom over the years. I will lend you another ten thousand. As far as I know, what Helu holds is only 5,000 warriors from the capital of Wu." Just some soldiers and horses.
In Wu State, there must be many ministers who support the prince. If Helu is unpopular, won't he fail? "
Qingji himself was also full of confidence and laughed loudly when he heard what Luo Yan said: "The prince's words are quite similar to what Zhongni Gong said at that time. Some of Zhongni Gong's disciples will also go to the Kingdom of Wu with him this time. "
He touched his broken hair and the tattoos on his body and said: "It took me several years in the academy to realize how beautiful the Central Plains is.
When I return to the Kingdom of Wu, I must bring back the customs of the Xia Dynasties. "
Although the Wu State is a clan with the surname Ji, it has a more southern barbarian style than the Chu State.
If the Luo State hadn't been holding him back, he would have followed the example of the Chu State and arrogated the title of king, becoming a country separated from the Xia.
Before leaving, Qingji went to visit Confucius.
Nowadays, Confucius's name is resounding throughout the world, he is honored as Zi, and has countless students. Although he was depressed politically, his exchanges with Laozi made him a little casual, and he gradually gave up his ambition to serve as an official and began to work in Consideration is spent on students and disciples.
Qingji still looked heroic and said loudly: "Zhongni Gong, Qingji is going to travel far and return to the Kingdom of Wu to eradicate Helu. I don't know when I will see you next time."
Over the years, Qing Ji could be regarded as half of his disciples. Confucius said: "Prince, you are a world-famous warrior. How dare Helu confront you?
You are an upright gentleman, like a huge green tree, Helu is a regicide villain, a maggot in the ditch. He will definitely use sinister means to harm you.
Your father was assassinated by a conspiracy. A villain like Helu will definitely use his same tricks again. You must be careful. "
…
On the river, the waves surge.
Dozens of large ships were in full force. On top of the warships were warriors recruited by Qingji from the Luo Kingdom and sergeants lent by the Luo Kingdom. After some training by Sun Wu, each of them was armed with swords, spears and spears, and they were full of murderous intent.
Qing Ji stood proudly at the head of the ship with his hands behind his back, his robes rolled up by the river wind. He always had this bold demeanor.
Qing Ji's reputation for bravely defeating the three armies was not only known to Wu and Yue. In the war with Chu, the reason why Wu was able to defeat more with less was because Qing Ji was too brave.
Qingji's prestige in the Wu Kingdom was extremely high, even surpassing that of his predecessor, Uncle Wu. Therefore, ever since Qingji escaped, King Helu of Wu had been restless every night.
If Qingji hadn't been hiding in Luo Kingdom, King Wu Helu would have sent countless assassins to kill him by all means.
Leaving the Luo Kingdom, Qingji led his army along the river, and fought against the Xuhuai land that had been included in the rule of the Wu Kingdom. These defenders did not pose any hindrance to Qingji.
"The land of Xuhuai was conquered in one battle. This is all the result of Chang Qing!"
Sun Wu shook his head and said: "It's just a small plan. Your prestige is too high, Prince. These Wu people have no fighting spirit at all. In addition, you are extremely brave, so it can go so smoothly."
Qing Ji laughed loudly and said: "Return to the capital of Wu as soon as possible to appease the people of the country and prosper the country of Wu."
A short man with an ugly face and a broken arm was holding a short dagger in his hand. Jiejie smiled and said: "The prince is so powerful that Helu is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating. When he returns to Wudu, he will definitely go on a killing spree. Revenge.”
This man's name was Yaoli, and he had a great feud with King Helu of Wu who had destroyed his family and body. Although he was short in stature, he was a warrior, so Qingji took him with him.
Why bring a dagger on board?
Qingji suddenly thought that except for the heavily armed soldiers around him, all the people around him were unarmed. Yaoli came to the bow of the ship to talk, but he brought a dagger?
If it were before, with his generous character, he would never have thought of this, but what Confucius said to him before leaving was that King Helu of Wu did not dare to confront him head-on, so he would definitely send assassins to kill him.
Qing Ji admired Confucius from the bottom of his heart, so he always kept Confucius' words in mind and was very careful along the way.
At the moment when he lost consciousness, the dagger in Yaoli's hand stabbed Qingji in the heart. Qingji, who had already been frightened in his heart, dodged and slashed the dagger with his backhand. He lifted Yaoli's whole body and threw it to the deck. .
"Leave!"
Qingji didn't expect that Yaoli actually wanted to assassinate him, so he shouted angrily. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. If Confucius hadn't warned him in advance, something would have happened this time.
The crowd rushed forward and pressed Yao Li to the ground. Sun Wu was also frightened. Qingji was sweating and said angrily: "Why?
Your whole family died at the hands of Helu, and your arm was also caused by..."
Qingji couldn't talk anymore. He knew the truth of the matter. Yaoli laughed wildly and said: "Yes, I cut off an arm and took all the lives of my family, just to win your trust. Could it be that things would not be the same?" Success?
tell me!
Why are you guarding against me? "
Yao Li asked a little frantically. He didn't understand why Qing Ji's body was so ready just now, even though Qing Ji had obviously trusted him, which caused his assassination to fail.
"For the sake of fame above the history books, you actually sacrificed your parents, wife and children. An unkind and unjust villain like you is worse than the mud at the bottom of the river.
I really have nothing to say to you. Kill him and cover up this matter. Since he wants to become famous, he must not do what he wants! "
Qingji, who had followed Confucius for several years, felt contempt for people like Yaoli from the bottom of his heart. After hearing what Qingji said, Yaoli's anger surged up instantly. It didn't matter if he killed him, but he actually refused to let him become famous. , which he couldn't bear.
But no one cared about his reaction, so the soldiers killed him with a knife and sank directly into the river.
Full of anger, Qingji and Sun Wu returned to the cabin with a sullen face, "Thanks to Duke Zhongni's advice, today's misfortune has been avoided. The little man Helu must die without a burial place."
The news of Qing Ji's assassination soon spread throughout the army. In this era, it was important for the emperor to humiliate his ministers to death, and the whole army was holding a sigh of relief.
