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 you can just start complaining. I will never use my power to suppress you. Hey, what are you hiding from?
People will make mistakes, and no one is necessarily right. So everyone dares to question, dare to question, and constantly innovate.
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 felt that music had no productive role in the country and was a useless thing. Large-scale music should be abolished, get rid of the shackles of graded rituals and music, and abolish the tedious and extravagant production and performance of chimes. Originally, this kind of thing was 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 insist on more things, such as festival funerals. The Mohists are completely opposite to Xunzi in this aspect.
Also, he should be buried with dignity.
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. There was always one person who could beat the opponent to the ground.
Ever since Handan College's arena was built, it has never been empty. People are injured and carried off every day. 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 for the extreme prosperity of thought in the Pre-Qin period. No other period in later generations can compare with this period. The following two thousand years were, to put it bluntly, just eating at the foundation of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
Half a month later, Cai Ze brought news from the State of Yan. As expected, the State of Yan did not refuse and agreed to send troops together with the State of Zhao.
This matter is of great benefit to Yan State. Zhao State is far away from Donghu, and it cannot occupy the territory it conquers. It can only benefit Yan State in vain. Yan State can also use Zhao State to weaken Donghu, so Yan State has nothing to say
I agreed without saying anything.
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 is helping. Although Qin is strong, 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 retreat silently, pretending that none of this happened.
Zhao State achieved the purpose of weakening Qin State and Wei State.
The situation after that 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 should I stay here and be 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 did not help, and they spent several months of food and grass 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 general 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 Qin. 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 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 attacking Donghu according to the previous plan and ignore Wei. The other is to give up attacking Donghu and support Wei.
, both paths have advantages and disadvantages.
"You can't fight Donghu, but you can't help Wei." Han Fei said immediately.
As a Korean prince, although he is in Zhao State, his feelings for South Korea are hard to let go. Wei and South Korea are at loggerheads, and 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 in 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 currently 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, and Hedong is
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 not be good to suddenly go back on it." Cai Ze said in embarrassment. If the news had arrived half a month earlier, he wouldn't have had to make this hard trip.
"You don't need 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.
The reason why Zhao State attacked Donghu was not only because of the Sirius God. With the destruction of the Xiongnu, the friction between Zhao State and Donghu also began. This battle was inevitable. The earlier the attack, the greater the benefit to Zhao State.
But because there is a Yan State sandwiched between the two countries, this battle will not end with the destruction of the country like the Xiongnu. At most, the Zhao State can 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 an army of 50,000 for you, and Zhao Feiqi will also stay to help you. Cai Ze, Li Si, you two will stay.
Assist Li Mu."
"No." Li Mu, Cai Ze, and Li Si said with fists clasped.
"Others will follow my king to the east of Hedong to support Wei."
