Chapter 1 The Master (Part 2)
May I ask a question from my friends: Which seven military books are the "Seven Books of Martial Arts"?
Answer: "The Art of War of Sun Tzu", "The Art of War of Wu Zi", "Sima Law", "Six Strategies", "Three Strategies", "Wei Liaozi" and "Q&A of Li Weigong", these seven military books have an extraordinary influence in Chinese history, which is that they still play an important role today.
Who is the author of "Yu Liaozi"? It is Wei Liao, a strange man who Zhou Chong met.
Some people call Wei Liao a famous military theorist in Chinese history. This statement makes sense, but is not complete, because Wei Liao's military achievements are not summarized.
In the "Seven Books of Martial Classics", except for the authors of "Six Strategies" and "Three Strategies" who were written by later generations, which cannot be verified, the other five are not only famous military theorists, but also famous military commanders in Chinese history, and their military achievements are very great.
Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sima, Rangju and Li Jing have little to do with this book, so I won’t talk about their achievements, but this book is about Wei Liao.
Wei Liao was from Daliang, Wei State, and now from Kaifeng, Henan. There is a saying that he was a student of Guiguzi, a famous master in the Warring States Period, but it is hard to guarantee how credible this statement is.
After analyzing the situation in the world, he believed that the King of Qin had the determination to unify the world and the heroes to unify the world. Like the elites of the times at that time, he traveled west to Qin and prepared to lobby Qin Shihuang. He saw King of Qin because Han Fei killed Li Si. The King of Qin lamented that there were too few talents, so Li Si recommended Wei Liao to the King of Qin.
Whether it is those who oppose Qin Shihuang or those who appreciate Qin Shihuang, they must admit that Qin Shihuang is smart and has a superb ambition, which is beyond the reach of people. At the same time, he has a high vision and is not taken seriously by ordinary people. Even historical celebrities such as Li Si, Zhao Gao, Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben are only for running around in his eyes, and are just tools for him to drive.
But there is one person who can compete with Qin Shihuang. In history, only one person received the highest courtesy of Qin Shihuang, including the same clothes, the same food, and the same car. It means that the King of Qin eats whatever he eats; the King of Qin is qualified to wear whatever he wears; the King of Qin is qualified to ride in the same car, and the treatment is the same as that of the King of Qin.
This person is Wei Liao, and it can be seen from this that he is really talented.
The King of Qin appointed Wei Liao as the National Weiwei and asked him to be responsible for planning military operations. Therefore, the unified war launched by Qin Shihuang, each military operation condensed the efforts of Wei Liao. Wu'an Jun Li Mu defeated the Qin army greatly, and the progress of the war was unfavorable. It was his counter-espionage plan that allowed Zhao to detain Li Mu's military power, which caused Zhao to perish.
He made great contributions to the formation of China's unified pattern! Calling him a military theorist is too biased and not comprehensive enough.
Zhang Liang, known as the "Emperor of a Generation", said that after his success, he traveled around the world with Chi Songzi, it was purely fabricated, and there was nothing that happened at all. He learned the art of guidance and was not as good as the world's fireworks. However, Empress Lu praised him for wine and meat and asked him to eat and drink, the reason was that "life passed like a flash of time, just a few decades, why bother to suffer?" He also ate it.
Wei Liao's behavior is different from Zhang Liang. After his success, he retreated bravely and left without a trace. He was the same as Sun Wu and Sun Bin's behavior.
It can be said that Wei Liao is a truly master and a strange figure in Chinese history. Zhou Chongzhewen actually met him, and he still felt dizzy and had no blood and no blood flowing up, so it was already very good that he didn't fall to the ground.
"It turns out to be Mr. Liaozi, and his name is well-known! Zhou Chong met Mr. Today, I am very lucky! I am very lucky!" Zhou Chong was so excited that he almost sang it.
Zhou Chong's joy was beyond words. Out of sincerity, it was definitely not a false act. Wei Liao was very talented and did not understand why Zhou Chong, a time traveler, was so happy and comforted. He smiled and said, "Sir, I have been too rewarded. Wei Liao has a little reputation and dare not humiliate Mr. Qingting."
"Yes, is it true... Is this a gentleman, Mr. Wang Ao?" Zhou Chong wanted to say that he had heard about his name for a long time, but suddenly he thought that Wei Liao was still unknown at this time, and not many people knew about it. He became famous for a long time. If he insisted on saying that it was really a loophole.
This person is Wang Ao, a student of Wei Liao. It can be said that Wei Liao is the most proud student. The master and apprentice serve the King of Qin. Wei Liao came up with a plan and Wang Ao went to implement it. It was a perfect match and was a good patron.
Wang Ao didn't know that Zhou Chong, a time traveler, knew their deeds well. It was really strange, and said, "I am Wang Ao. Wang Ao has met Mr. Wang. How dare you ask how he knows his name?"
"Oh no, I'm just temporal excitement, and I'm having a leak." Zhou Chong secretly called out in his heart. After a change of thought, he immediately had an idea and smiled and said, "Mr. Liaozi is a talented person, and the world is known to everyone. If there is a teacher, there must be a disciple. Mr. Wang is extraordinary. Who in the world doesn't know you!"
This statement avoids loopholes very well and has polite compliments. It can be said that the answer was very clever, and the three of them laughed at each other.
Wei Liao laughed and said, "If Liaozi guessed correctly, sir is Tofu Zhou, who resigned from the King of Qin, right?"
"My nickname is really harmful. If I make stinky tofu, wouldn't I call me stinky tofu Zhou?" Zhou Chong was upset and smiled: "Zhou Chong is famous, it is a shame for Mr. Qingting. Please don't laugh at me."
Wei Liao nodded and praised: "Sir, you do not bow your head for power. As the saying goes, 'Wealth and honor cannot be lustful, poverty and humbleness cannot be moved, and power and force cannot be betrayed', a true husband! Please accept a bow from Liaozi." He held his fists and bowed.
"How good is power? Do you think I am not moved? Even if I want to be an official, I can't be an official of Qin Shihuang. I will be scolded by later generations with him? I am not Li Si and Zhao Gao." Zhou Chong did not dare to receive Wei Liao's praise in his heart, and said humbly: "Sir, I have been too rewarded, and Zhou Chong is ashamed of being accused of it."
Wei Liao asked, "Dare you ask me where is your intention?"
"The mountains are idle, and you can travel in a suitable place, and you don't want to go." Zhou Chong replied in the voice of an ancient nobleman. His words were just aimless and ran around. He asked, "Which fairy mountain is sir?"
Wei Liao smiled slightly and said, "Liuzi's misty body is not afraid to ask about the fairy mountain. Liaozi recently heard that the King of Qin had the intention to annex the inner world. It is unknown if he came to see it west or had the opportunity to offer a clumsy plan. Liaozi did not have the noble character of his husband, so please do not laugh."
