Fan Li, also known as Shaobo, was a statesman, military strategist, economist and Taoist scholar in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He once offered advice to help King Gou Jian of Yue to restore his country. Fan Li was an early business theorist in China and was revered as the "Shang Sage" by later generations.
"One of the saints". Although he came from a poor background, he was erudite and talented. He was acquainted with Chu Wanling Wen Zhong and had a close relationship. Because he was dissatisfied with the political darkness of Chu State at that time, non-nobles were not allowed to enter the officialdom, so they defected to Yue State together to assist Yue State Gou Jian.
Legend has it that he helped Gou Jian revitalize the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu Kingdom, averting the humiliation of Kuaiji. After he became famous, he retired bravely, changed his name to Yi Zipi, and traveled among the seventy-two peaks. During this period, he became extremely rich in business three times, and scattered his family wealth three times.
He settled in Taoqiu in the Song Dynasty and named himself "Tao Zhugong". He was praised by the world as "loyal to the country; wise to protect one's life; rich in business and famous all over the world."
Fan Li himself has a simple materialist view of strategy, and his military proposition for the entire country: The one who maintains profit depends on heaven, the decision depends on people, and the situation depends on the land. In fact, this is a simple materialist view of war, that is, "persistence is with the sky."
"The prosperous and the sky" pointed out that all things in the world have their own natural laws, just like the replacement of the sun and the moon, the waxing and waning of the moon. He reminded Gou Jian that he should act according to the laws and abide by the natural laws of heaven and earth, so as to achieve the goal of war.
Purpose. When Gou Jian was suffering from embarrassment, he launched a "food war" against the state of Wu. When he was strong, he was arrogant and prepared; when he was weak, he secretly planned to be strong and waited for an opportunity; he used his troops well to take advantage of gaps and win by surprise. He was praised and used by future generations.
.
In practice and war command, Fan Li used very flexible and changeable strategies. He advocated "use yin later, use yang first; use softness when near, and hardness when far away." On the battlefield, if you want to take a preemptive strike,
Tactics must be firm and unwavering, and must be quick and decisive. If you want to strike later, you must be cautious and thorough; when the enemy is close, you can take the initiative to show weakness, lure the enemy, and then win by surprise. When the enemy is far away, then
Use powerful momentum to intimidate the enemy.
Fan Li once said, "If you are careful and prepared, you can fight. If you are careful and prepared, you can be prepared for the unexpected. If you want to defeat others, you must first go through careful preparations, prepare carefully, and defend carefully. In this way
Only by being well-prepared can we be prepared to face dangerous national disasters. This shows that he fully realized the importance of war preparation. Under the guidance of this leading idea, he put forward the concept of national defense readiness to enrich the country and strengthen the people.
If you know how to fight, you will make preparations; if you know when to use it, you will know how to use it. If you do both, then the emotions of all things can be understood and observed?" To win the war, we must have good war preparation materials. However, the issue of war readiness involves all aspects, and we must first develop it.
Production, under the auspices of Fan Li and Wen Zhong, the State of Yue promulgated a series of measures to develop production to enrich the country and strengthen the people.
If someone like Fan Li were to stop tomb robbers in his own tomb, Li Lvyan's guess would be a mechanism consistent with his character, but looking at the environment he was in now, he couldn't make up his mind.
After all, for the tomb owner, the mausoleum is his resting place, and he should do everything possible to make the tomb robbers unable to eat and carry away the tomb robbers. It is reasonable to think this way, but I always feel that it is different from the Fan Li recorded in history.
This point made Li Lvyan particularly concerned: Could it be that this tomb, like the previous two, had something "special" about it?
The fog was not as concentrated as on the sea. It was not coming towards them, but the fog was scattered throughout the space, filling it like thick smoke.
Luan Jingjing said with a bit of fear, "When there was fog on the river, you were talking about the Obon Festival and the reason why the Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage. What is the reason for this now? Could there be something coming out of the fog?"
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mist suddenly seemed to understand. Countless paper money slowly fell from the top of the mist, scattering all over the place. Thousands of them lay low on the branches. Although Luan Jingjing was scared, she pretended to be calm. However, under a piece of paper,
When the paper money floated on her hair, she couldn't help but press close to Li Lvyan with her scalp numb.
The fear will only intensify. After the paper money is flying like snowflakes and piled up on the cliffs, it seems like a long time in the past. Countless soul-calling flags hang from the top of the fog. These soul-calling flags are so coincidental.
It just happened to be hanging on the cliff wall, like a climbing rope for people to climb. Because of the countless paper money and countless soul-calling flags, the air seemed even more terrifying, because until now, these paper money and soul-calling flags
The appearance of the flags and ropes is silent, as if it is the calm before the storm.
This kind of boundless terror, but the torture without making a sound is the most deadly.
Luan Jingjing looked at the valley, always feeling that something would climb up along the rope of the soul-calling flag, but before she could finish this thought, the rope under her feet suddenly "clicked", as if it was the other end of the rope.
, what kind of creature is responding to her, telling her that I am coming up.
At this point, it is obviously difficult to explain the current phenomenon using common sense. Li Green Ant pulled Luan Jingjing and ran quickly, but those soul-calling flags and ropes were everywhere. No matter where he ran, those soul-calling flags and ropes seemed to be
In response to their response, they all began to make a "squeaking" sound like something was crawling up along it.
What's going on? What's going on?
Why is everything happening here so weird? Are you rehearsing it according to your own script?
Before Li Lvyan could discuss this important idea in depth, Luan Jingjing tugged at Li Lvyan's sleeve and asked, "What could be climbing up?"
Li Lvyan was also a little flustered. "Now it seems that the road we stopped on is the Naihe Bridge in the Yinsi. These soul-calling flags are not for salvation, but for salvation."
Attract, what you attract is either the ghosts from the underworld, or the creatures that linger in the human world and refuse to leave."
"Giggle——"
Countless silver bell-like laughter sounded from the bottom of the abyss, like young boys playing in competition, or like the hearty and hearty laughter of young girls.
"Giggle--"
Li Green Ant's scalp was numb: There was indeed something crawling up here along the rope of the soul-calling flag!
Luan Jingjing showed a hint of cruelty on her face. She took out the paratrooper knife from her backpack and began to cut up the soul-calling flags and string them together, "What are you doing?"
Luan Jingjing's eyes turned sharply, "We work as swordsmen and fish as meat, do we want to let those things climb up and kill us? And hearing this voice, it comes from all directions, which means there must be a lot of them. There is no place to escape here, how can we still do it?"
Do you want to sit back and wait for death?"
Li Lvyi shook his head, "There are so many soul-calling flags here, even if you cut them, you won't be able to cut them all."
"Then you come up with a solution!!"
Luan Jingjing's spirit seemed to have broken down a little, and she yelled at Li Lvyan: Yes, how could a normal person still be sane after experiencing such a thing? Luan Jingjing was a little out of sorts, but she just tried her best to protect herself.
However, Li Lvyan felt that the situation the two of them encountered now was obviously inconsistent with common sense. If they could not find the source and solve it from the root, it would be like trying to control the situation.
But that's easy to say.
Luan Jingjing's forehead was covered with sweat, and her hands began to tremble. The soul-calling banner was actually made of paper. It was extremely light and could be deformed when pinched. But for some reason, it kept cutting with a knife. This
What a hell.
"Think of a way, think of a way -" Luan Jingjing almost collapsed, "Didn't the team leader say that you have great powers and that no difficulty or obstacle can stop you? Think of a way, why have we fallen to this point? Why is this
Everything is obviously unreasonable, but it happened to us?"
Seeing Luan Jingjing's almost tearful plea, Li Lvyan was also very anxious. After a few breaths, the first thing that showed up was a female doll. The female doll was about four or five years old. Her whole body was covered with fish scales and she was bent over.
He had a hunched back, as if a giant salamander had come ashore. His eyes and mouth were blood red. He had two braids and a red bellyband. His head and body were much larger than those of an ordinary child. His belly was bulging, and he didn't know what he was holding.
"whee--"
The girl came out first and curiously inquired about the two panting creatures. Seeing the girl's appearance, Luan Jingjing's hands shook in fright, and her paratrooper knife immediately fell into the bottomless abyss and ran towards Li Lvyan.
.
The second one to emerge was a boy with braids that skyrocketed and a red bellyband. He looked like a mature giant salamander, but he was much stronger than the girl, but he seemed a little younger. He didn't seem to have any
His neck was as big as a bone, and he was obviously looking in front, but he turned his head and smiled at the two of them, "chuckling".
Seeing this scene, the two people's minds went blank for a moment, but these things suddenly seemed to be pressed by something to press the pause button, and they all stagnated for a second. After all, it is difficult to overcome the fearful thoughts. Luan Jingjing looked at the risk.
The two children who came out trembled and thought: Are there more of these things down there?
Sure enough, after Luan Jingjing thought like this, the originally motionless soul-calling flags suddenly trembled, and countless children's heads popped out. But after all, the mountain wall was too deep, and it would take several minutes to climb up.
The children were like geckos, crawling forward and usually coming ashore, laughing all the time, as if they were very happy that they were about to have a feast.
A line of carbide fire suddenly flashed in Li Lvyan's mind, connecting all the weirdness. He turned around and looked directly into Luan Jingjing's eyes, "Luan Jingjing, let me ask you, why did we appear here in the first place?"
Luan Jingjing was scared when she was suddenly frightened by this inexplicable question. "You asked me why? How could I know?"
"There must be a reason. Tell me, did you do anything while you were unconscious?"
"I was unconscious when I was in a coma, how could I do anything? Besides, you and I fell into a coma together, why would you doubt me?" Luan Jingjing thought that Li Lvyan meant everything that was caused now, and that she was the instigator, but she
That's not what Li Lvyan meant at all.
"No, I mean, have you ever made any suggestive moves, said anything, or had the thought that we will be in a dilemma on the cliff, surrounded by enemies on all sides?"
Luan Jingjing angrily threw away Li Lvyan's restraining arm, "Are you crazy? You actually doubted me? How could I do that thing about the devil beating the wall? At that time, I was trapped in that devil's wall, and I was more anxious than ever.
Young Master, at that time I thought that even if we were on a cliff, there was still a way to jump off. It would be better than being in this circle of ghosts and walls, but you keep blaming me now - "
"Hahaha!" Li Lvyan was ecstatic, "This is it!"
Luan Jingjing asked in shock, "What?"
Li Lvyan turned around with a look of disbelief on his face and said to Luan Jingjing, "Try it now and let the fog disperse."
Luan Jingjing was surprised, "Are you crazy? It will spread out if I let it spread out? Do you think -"
But before Luan Jingjing finished speaking, the extremely thick mist that had accumulated suddenly dissipated. The expression on Luan Jingjing's face froze, and she stiffened her body and looked at Li Lvyan, "You already knew this?"
"I just found out about it." Seeing Luan Jingjing ask again, she quickly said, "I've tried it too, but the effect is obviously not as good as yours. This extremely special situation seems to only affect female creatures."
Luan Jingjing's face turned pale. Although the fog dissipated, these monsters were still climbing up. It was obvious that they would climb up soon. She quickly said: "Give me a way out, give me a way out."
But at this moment, a bluestone corridor suspended in the air suddenly appeared. The distance between them was only two meters. It could be crossed with a single jump. Li Lvyan took a flashlight and took a look at the stone corridor. Although it was a hasty escape route.
, but it was already not easy, and she quickly said to the dumbfounded Luan Jingjing, "Hurry over there!"
"What about you?"
"You go there first, and I will go there naturally."
After hearing this, Luan Jingjing stopped giving in and jumped directly over. Li Lvyan followed closely behind, but the laughter behind them became closer and closer. As soon as the two of them jumped onto the bluestone path, they immediately started running wildly.
Li Lvyan guessed that although this situation can be changed by human will, the danger that already exists objectively will not disappear suddenly, just like the fog that disappeared just now, just disappeared for a while, and now it is coming from all directions.
Coming up is the best example. Those monsters will definitely pursue you.
It’s just that Li Green Ant has some doubts in his heart: what just happened is undoubtedly an object created from space for no reason. This is almost equivalent to a creator. Calculating based on common sense, it is absolutely impossible. And why is it only for female creatures?
Are the responses more enthusiastic?
Walking through this corridor, the gaps between the bluestone bricks between the corridors are particularly obvious. They are stacked one after another, and the position of the candlestick is reserved. However, the candlestick should originally contain the anointing oil of the shark, but for some reason it is not inside.
Empty.
As we walked further, besides the light of the flashlight, there was other light, which was obviously the exit. Suddenly, a cry of "clack" sounded from behind: Those things are catching up!
Li Lvyi and Luan Jingjing quickly put out their flashlights, and when they heard voices in front of them, they tiptoed over, ready to fool around with others.
There is a step at the entrance of the corridor. Under the step is a dry flat ground with some rotten coffins piled around it. It seems that this place was once a tomb. When Li Lvyan saw this, he suddenly felt that there was a paradox in what he had experienced, but once he
I just can't figure out where the button at this point is.
Luan Jingjing tugged on Li Lvyan's sleeve, as if preparing to say something, Li Lvyan made a "shh" gesture, pulled Luan Jingjing's arm, and walked to the side. Because there was another stone on the opposite side of the stone steps.
There is a tomb door above the steps, and there are some rugged gravel flats on both sides, which is much higher than the flat ground below. It is more than enough to hide two people and sneak through, but the enemy and we are not clear, and I don’t know where these people come from.
It would be bad if you open your mouth and make a sound that disturbs the other party.
Luan Jingjing originally wanted to tell a doubt hidden in her heart, but based on the current situation and Li Luyi's stop, she had to swallow the doubt in her stomach. However, she didn't know that if she said this doubt now, it would just solve the problem that Li Luyi just had.
The paradox that the ant came up with can also save a lot of trouble later.
"Boss Song, all the brothers have given up on this vote. If they hadn't come here for your reputation, no one would be willing to get involved in this muddy water. How will Boss Song divide the votes for me afterward?
"
A total of more than a dozen people were sitting below, forming an irregular circle. A smokeless stove was lit in the middle. The smokeless stove was "buzzing" as if it was cooking compressed biscuits. The charcoal fire made some "beep" sounds. Other than that,
There were two large miner's lamps on, and there was plenty of sight in the center. Among those people, Li Lvyan saw Zuo Fu, and now it was time to call him Song Cu.
Song Chu seemed to have a very high status in this group of people. Originally, the group was discussing how to distribute the treasures. They were all talking, noisy, and almost starting to fight, but Song Chu only smiled slightly.
After a "cough", the scene suddenly became quiet.
"What are you arguing about? I'm such an old man, and I personally invited you all here. You are all brothers. Although we don't meet each other much, you all still recognize me as your elder brother. Am I going to coax you?"
Song Chu calmed the audience when he opened his mouth. One of them, a big man with a scab on his face and a fierce look, said: "Brother, of course, he won't coax us, but we won't discuss this issue now. It will be discussed sooner or later. If anything happens,
When we fight in the end, it’s really nerve-wracking.”
"Then how do you want to divide it?" Song Chu looked at him with a half-smile, but his eyes were full of indifference, and he said proudly, "Of course we all have to divide it equally-" Suddenly, a chill went down his neck,
He immediately got excited and said, "You can divide it as big brother says! Brothers, there will be no objections!"
Li Lvyan was just wondering why this bastard suddenly gave in so quickly, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Wanwan's head had quietly rested on his neck. As long as he took one bite, this bastard would have to beg for mercy no matter how fast he was.
At this moment, Li Lvyan finally saw Shen Wanwan. Sure enough, her appearance was exactly the same as Qin Pianpian's description. The scoundrel looked like the front dog and sat back angrily. Shen Wanwan fell on Song Chu's body obediently.
Standing next to him, he was about to turn around when he suddenly sniffed and looked suddenly in the direction of Li Lvyan.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Wanwan suddenly showed her fangs and floated towards Li Lvyan with a green face, "Two mice have sneaked in."
