Chapter 134: Expansion of the Army (8)
Zhao Xin suddenly laughed and said, "You are using it flexibly. First, you show your strength and strengthen your voice. You are trying to weaken the morale of the enemy through words. In the end, if you don't have good knowledge, you will endure humiliation. It seems that I'm too troublesome, but it's broken your plan."
Zhao She said with shame, "The Lord Commander has said it, but I am just wishful thinking. The scene was so chaotic at that time. Who knew that I had been separated by the sect sword before I could beg for mercy. Therefore, the kindness of my life was unforgettable at that time."[]
Zhao Xin smiled and stopped engaging in this issue. However, Zhao She looked a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he still spoke, "Master Zhao, don't you know what I mentioned last time?"
"The Lord Father has asked me about the vacant lieutenant and asked me to recommend some people for his reference. I plan to report you to the winner's father and be willing to meet you. As for whether you can get the Lord's father's appreciation, it depends on your own ability."
Zhao She was overjoyed when she heard this and thanked her quickly. She felt a little excited and her feelings for Zhao Xin were even more unresolved. However, he didn't know that Zhao Xin decided to recommend him to his master's father just now. It was because he saw that he was calm in the face of danger, had a proper attitude and was quite like a general, so 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 not look for a restaurant and chat while drinking? How about it?
Zhao She naturally wanted to have the opportunity to get close to Zhao Xin. She was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something and said with embarrassment. "I really want to get drunk with Lord Duwei until I finish it, but there is still my mother waiting at home at home. If I don't go home, she will definitely feel uneasy. I'm really sorry, I'm extremely sorry!"
Zhao Xin was a little disappointed, but said in his mouth, "It's okay, filial piety is the first priority for all virtues, and it is normal for Brother Zhao to do this."
Suddenly, his heart moved and said, "Brother Zhao is going home now?"
Zhao She hurriedly said, "That's right."
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go with Brother Zhao to visit the old lady. What do you think?"
Zhao She was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin would be so leisurely and elegant. After hesitating, he nodded and said, "I'll trouble the lieutenant."
Zhao Xin laughed, stepped forward and hugged Zhao She's shoulder, and said with a smile, "What's the trouble with this? I'm also bored."
After saying that, he asked Shi Dan to go back to the palace to say hello first, while he himself walked towards his house with a sarcasm and laughter.
Although Zhao She is a few years older than Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is considered taller among his peers, so the two are almost the same size. Zhao Xin's unintentional intimacy makes Zhao She slightly uncomfortable. He is a person with a restrained temperament and is usually serious. Most of the time, Zhao Xin is always there. He just listens quietly, and suddenly comes up with a few more words of his own opinion.
Along the way, Zhao Xin had already figured out Zhao She's temperament and knew that he was a cold-faced person, but he didn't know what kind of ability to lead the army. So he found a question and asked, "I heard from Brother Zhao that you are free to read military tactics, but I don't know what military tactics are you reading?"
Zhao She knew that Zhao Xin was interested in examining him. He knew that Zhao Xin was most likely to be his immediate boss in the future, so he naturally did not dare to answer casually, so he said, "I came from the countryside and did not have the opportunity to come into contact with any book on military arts. It was just because I met a strange person when I was a young man. He said that I had good qualifications, so he personally taught me the Thirteen Chapters of Military Arts, so that we could peek at the threshold of military arts. I was so ashamed that I have always been a general talk by scholars and have never used it in practice."
Hearing Zhao She called him "Strange Man", Zhao Xin couldn't help but think of his master Wang Xu in his mind, thinking that it wouldn't be such a coincidence. He didn't say anything at the moment, but just asked without saying a word: "I wonder the strange man in Brother Zhao's mouth is a middle-aged scholar who is thin and has a face like a jade?"
Zhao She was stunned and looked at Zhao Xin with some suspicion. For some reason, he suddenly asked this question. He shook his head and said, "It seems that he is not the person mentioned by the Duwei. Although his family master is tall, he is indeed an old man who is nearly 70 years old. I think he is not the person mentioned by the Duwei."
When Zhao Xin heard that it was not Wang Xu, he felt relieved and smiled, "I think it must be a hermit among the people. Maybe some famous figure was tired of the golden swords and iron horses, and the elderly retired to the mountains and forests."
Zhao She shook her head, "It shouldn't be that because her family master was old, he had already passed away five years ago. Before he died, he told me that he was a native of Daliang, Wei Liao. The words of his family master naturally would not deceive me, so he thought he was an unknown rural hermit."
Zhao Xin listened to the name of "Yu Liao", and felt a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly clapped his head and said, "So it was that Wei Liao."
Zhao She was stunned and asked anxiously, "Have you ever heard of the name of a family teacher?"
Zhao Xin nodded, "I have seen the name of respecting the teacher in the midst of the quarrels. During the reign of King Hui of Wei, the respecting teacher, together with Meng Ke, Chunyu Kun and other great sages, entered the Wei Palace to worship King Hui, and made a large number of military proposals to King Hui. However, because Pang Juan, the general of Wei State at that time, was jealous and forced the respecting teacher away, there was no news since then. He thought he was living in seclusion in the mountains, so Brother Zhao met by chance."
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but exclaim; "I originally thought that Wei Liao was just a mediocre person who praised other mediocre people, so there was only a faint stroke in history books. Now, seeing Brother Zhao's talent is so talented, it's a pity that he respects his teachers must not be an extraordinary person. It's a pity that the talent is useless and wasted all his talents."
During the Warring States Period, the powerful and nobles from all countries liked to respect the wise and the poor, and served the wise and talented with wealth. Therefore, a large number of talents poured out were like carp crossing the river, countless. The scholars were flowing among the countries, making the kings dazzled, and a large number of real talents were buried, and Wei Liao was undoubtedly one of them.
Wei Liao was originally from Daliang, but his family was declining after being a general from Jin State. His father was favored by Wei Wuhou when he was in the army, so Wei Liao regarded Wei as his family and country since he was a child and determined to serve the King of Wei.
However, at that time, the Wei State was in full swing. The general Pang Juan, the court, was promoted to the wise and capable, and became jealous. Although Wei Liao successfully gained the appreciation of King Hui of Wei through his remarks, he was forced to commit suicide by Zhao because of Pang Juan. He convicted that Wei State had great kindness to his family and could not bear to betray him, so he never served the king of any country for his life, and eventually ended up in the mountains and forests.
Because Wei Liao's time to move was extremely limited, it soon disappeared from people's sight, so most people in the world had never heard of his name, so Zhao She had never heard of his name. As for Zhao Xin, he had also learned a lot since childhood and knew very well about these things, so he had some impression of Wei Liao.
When Wei Huiwang asked Wei Liao's army, he said: I heard that Huangdi sent troops to fight and could win every battle because of the protection of the gods. Is there such a thing? Wei Liao immediately refuted and replied; the so-called Zhengde means to use force to conquer the enemy and use benevolence to stabilize the world, not referring to the heavenly officials, time, yin and yang, direction and back. What Huangdi said was just to emphasize the role of man. Why do you say that? For example, there is a city now that attacks from both the east and the west and the west and the south and the south, and the victory cannot be won. Is it not possible to adapt to the auspicious time? The reason why the defender cannot conquer is because the city walls of the defender are high, deep, well-equipped, sufficient funds and food, and heroes work together. If its city walls are low, shallow trenches, and weak garrisons, they can conquer. From this point of view, it is better to fully play the role of man than to believe that the heavenly officials are in the future.
According to the book "Tianguan", "Straighting arrays on the back of the water is to set the army's desperate situation, and placing arrays on the slope is to place the army in a useless place." However, when King Wu defeated Zhou, he carried Ji River on his back and lined up the hillside, defeating many Zhou's army with 22,000 people, and destroyed the Shang Dynasty. Could it be that the formation deployed by King Zhou did not get the benefits of the Heavenly Office? The Chu general Gongzixin fought against Qi. At that time, comets appeared, and the handle of the comet was snatched towards Qi. Some people thought that the direction pointed by the handle would definitely win, so they could not attack. Gongzixin said: "What do comets know? If they hit people with brooms, they should turn their heads back and use the handle to fight to win. The next day, they fought against Qi, and they really defeated the Qi army. Huang Li said: "First ask gods and ghosts, it is better to ask yourself how talented you are." Rather than saying that it is the fulfillment of astronomical astrological signs, it is better to say that it plays a role as a human.
