Chapter 134 Expansion 8

Zhao Xin suddenly laughed and said, "You use it flexibly. First, you show a strong momentum. You want to weaken the morale of the enemy through words. Finally, if you don't see well, you will endure humiliation. It seems that I have a lot of trouble, but it ruined your plan."

Zhao She said with some shame; "Your Excellency said that it was just wishful thinking. At that time, the scene was so chaotic that I had been dismembered by the sword before I could beg for mercy. Therefore, the kindness of the adult's life was unforgettable at that time.

Zhao Xin smiled when he heard the words, and he was no longer entangled in this problem. Zhao She looked a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he still said, "Captain Zhao, I don't know what I mentioned last time?"

"The master has asked me about the vacant lieutenant and asked me to recommend some people to go up for his reference. I plan to report you to the Lord's father to accept you. As for whether you can be appreciated by the master, it depends on your own ability."

Zhao She was overjoyed and quickly thanked him. He was really a little excited, and his feelings for Zhao Xin were even more than good. He didn't know that Zhao Xin didn't decide to recommend him to his master until just now. It was because he was in danger, advanced and backward, and quite like a general, that he decided to believe him once.

Zhao Xin looked up at the sky and said, "It's too early to have dinner now, and it's too late to go back to the government office. Why don't we find a restaurant, talk while drinking, and get drunk?

Zhao She naturally wants to have the opportunity to get close to Zhao Xin. I was about to nod, but suddenly something came to my mind. I couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "I really want to get drunk with the lieutenant, but there is still an old mother waiting at home. If I don't go home, she will definitely feel uneasy. I'm really sorry, I'm extremely sorry!"

Zhao was a little disappointed in his confidence, but he said, "It doesn't matter. Filial piety comes first. It's human's normal for Brother Zhao to do so."

Suddenly, his heart moved and he said, "Brother Zhao is going home now?"

Zhao She hurriedly said, "Exactly."

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "There is nothing left and right. Why don't I follow Brother Zhao to visit the old lady? What do you think?"

Zhao She was stunned. She didn't expect Zhao Xin to be so casual and elegant. After hesitation, he nodded and said, "This will be troublesome."

Zhao Xin laughed, put his arms around Zhao She's shoulder, and said with a smile, "What's the trouble? I'm also idle and boring."

After saying that, he asked Shi Dan to go back to the palace to say hello first, and he walked towards his home with Zhao She talking and laughing.

Although Zhao She is a few years older than Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is taller among his peers, so the heights of the two are almost the same. Zhao Xin's unexplained intimation made Zhao She slightly uncomfortable. He was originally a reserved person, and he usually didn't smile. Most of the time, it was Zhao Xin who was there. He just listened quietly and said a few more words of his own opinions.

Along the way, Zhao Xin has figured out most of Zhao's temperament and knew that he was the kind of cold-hearted person, but he didn't know what the leader's ability was. So he looked for the topic and asked, "I heard from Brother Zhao that you are free to read the art of war, but I don't know what kind of art of war you are reading?"

Zhao She knew that Zhao Xin had the intention to test him. You should know that Zhao Xin was very likely to be his immediate superior in the future. Naturally, he did not dare to answer at will and said, "I was born in the countryside, and I did not have the opportunity to contact any books of military tactics. It's just because I met a strange person when I was a teenager. He said that I had good qualifications, so he taught me 24 articles on the art of war, and we could peep at the threshold of the art of war. It's just that I'm extremely ashamed. I've always been a general scholar, and I haven't used it in practice.

Hearing Zhao She's call "strange man", Zhao Xin couldn't help thinking of Master Wang Xun, thinking that it would not be such a coincidence. At present, he didn't say anything, but asked silently, "I don't know if the strange man in Brother Zhao's mouth is a middle-aged literati with a thin face like jade?"

Zhao She was stunned and looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously. I don't know why he suddenly asked this question. He shook his head again and said, "It doesn't seem to be the person mentioned by the lieutenant. Although the master is tall, he is indeed an old man. I don't think he is the person the lieutenant said."

When Zhao Xin heard that it was not Wang Xun, his heart was relieved and said with a smile, "I think it must be a folk hermit. Maybe it's a big man who is tired of Jin Ge and iron horses, and his old age is hidden in the mountains and forests."

Zhao She shook his head, but he shook his head, "I don't think so. My family teacher died five years ago because he was old. Before his death, he told me that he was a Liang person from the State of Wei, named Wei Liao. Naturally, the teacher will not deceive me at the end of his life, so I think he is an unknown rural hermit.

Zhao Xin listened to the name of "Wei Liao" and vaguely felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly patted his head and said, "It turned out to be that Wei Liao."

Zhao She was stunned and asked urgently, "Has the captain ever heard of the name of the family teacher?"

Zhao Xin nodded, "I have seen the name of Zunshi in the miscellaneous talk. During the reign of King Hui of Wei, Zunshi once entered the Wei Palace with Meng Ke, Chunyu Kun and other great sages to worship King Hui, and put forward a large number of military governance ideas to King Hui. However, because Pang Juan, the general of the State of Wei at that time, was jealous, he forced his master away. From then on, there was no news. He thought he was living in seclusion in the mountains, so Brother Zhao met him by chance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help saying strangely; "When I saw this paragraph, I thought that Wei Liao was just a mediocre person who praised other people, so there was only a faint stroke in the history book. Now that Brother Zhao is such a talented person, he calculates that he must be an extraordinary person. Unfortunately, the virtuous talent is useless and a waste of his talent.

In the era of the Warring States, the dignitaries of all countries are more polite and virtuous, serving virtuous and talented people with wealth and nobles. Therefore, a large number of talents are like carp crossing the river, which is countless. The scholars are even more endless among various countries, which makes the kings dizzy, so that a large number of real talents have been buried, and this lieutenant is undoubtedly one of them.

Wei Liao was originally from Daliang, but after he was born as a general of the State of Jin, his family was in decline. His father had been favored by Marquis Wu of Wei when he was in the army, so Wei Liao regarded the State of Wei as a family from an early date and was determined to serve the King of Wei.

It's just that at that time, the hegemony of the State of Wei was booming. Pang Juan, the general in the court, was virtuous and jealous. Although Wei Liao successfully won the appreciation of King Hui of Wei with some words, he was forced to die for the State of Zhao because of Pang Juan. He paid the State of Wei for his great kindness to his family and couldn't bear to betray him, so he never served the king of any country in his life, and finally Zhonglao Shanlin.

Because Wei Liao's time for activities is extremely limited, it soon disappears from people's sight, so most people in the world have never heard of his name, so Zhao She has never heard of his name. As for Zhao Xin, he has also known these things well since he was a child, so he had a little impression of this lieutenant.

At that time, King Hui of Wei asked Wei Liaoshi and said: I heard that the Yellow Emperor can send troops to fight and win a hundred battles. It is because of the blessing of Xingde. Is there such a thing? Wei Liao immediately retorted and replied; the so-called Xing De is to use force to conquer the enemy and use benevolence to stabilize the world, not to refer to the heavenly official, time, yin and yang, to the back, etc. What the Yellow Emperor said was just to emphasize the role of human beings. Why do you say that? For example, if there is a city now, you can't win if you attack from the east and west; if you attack from the north and south, you can't win. Don't you adapt to the direction of auspicious time in four aspects? Therefore, it can't be attacked because the defenders have high walls, deep trenches, perfect weapons and equipment, sufficient wealth and food, and the heroes work together. If its city walls are low, its trenches are shallow, and its defenses are weak, it can be attacked. From this point of view, it is better to give full play to the role of human beings than to believe in the time of heaven.

According to the book "Heavenly Official": 'The backwater array is a desperate situation for the army, and the slope array is to put the army in a useless place.' However, when King Wu attacked Zhou, he carried Jishui on his back and arrayed to the hillside. With 22,000 people, he defeated many Zhou troops and destroyed the Shang Dynasty. Did the array put up by King Zhou not get the benefits of the heavenly officials? Chu fought against the State of Qi. At that time, a comet appeared. The handle of the comet turned to the State of Qi. Some people thought that the direction pointed by the handle would definitely win, so they could not attack. The prince said, 'What does the comet know? If you hit people with a broom, you should have turned your head upside down and hit it with a handle to win.' The next day, he fought with the State of Qi and really defeated the Qi army. Huang Li said, 'First of all, ask the gods and ghosts, it's better to ask your own intelligence first.' It is not so much the fulfill of astronomical astrology as the human role.

Although there is only such a short dialogue about Wei Liao's record, it is still not difficult to see the wisdom in Wei Liao's words, which can be called the wonder of the world.

PS: The word "adult" was mainly popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was used to refer to those who were superior to themselves. However, during the Warring States Period, the word "adult" already referred to those in high positions, such as princes and nobles. Yi Qian: "Ninety-two: See the dragon in the field, and see the lord." Historical Records · Biography of Mencius Xunqing: "When the prince first saw his skill, he was afraid of it, and then he couldn't do it."

It can be seen that the word "adult" had been used at that time, but it was not extensive.
