Chapter 100: Fu and the world (thanks to the leader of Diving Xiao Oolong)
When Mao Sui put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Pang Nuan already knew what he was going to do. Among the many disciples who accompanied Lord Pingyuan, Mao Sui was the one he admired the most. He originally wanted Mao Sui to stay. By Pingyuan Jun's side, he could make suggestions for Pingyuan Jun, but Mao Sui refused. He said: The retainer is to relieve the family owner's worries. Now Pingyuan Jun is worried about the safety of Zhao State. As a retainer, he will risk his life to do it. Solve Pingyuan Jun's concerns.
Pang Nuan took him with him. After all, he was old and still needed a strong disciple to accompany him.
Just when the situation was about to break out, the news of Xunzi's arrival forced him to give up his idea. The King of Chu was very happy. A wise man like Xunzi would be greatly respected no matter which country he was in, even in a barbarian country. Qin and Chu were no exception. Xunzi once rushed to the state of Qin. The king of Qin respected him very much and took him to visit the state of Qin. Xunzi also spoke highly of the system of the state of Qin.
As for Pang Nuan, he looked confused at the moment. Isn't Xunzi in the State of Zhao? How could he appear in the State of Chu?
The King of Chu hurriedly walked to the door, and the warriors led Xunzi and another person into the palace. Xunzi still looked indifferent, showing no emotion or anger, while the person standing behind him just lowered his head. His head was so that no one could see his face. The King of Chu lifted up Xunzi who was saluting with great respect, helped him to the position closest to him, and hurriedly ordered the warriors to prepare the banquet.
Pang Nuan smiled and looked at Xunzi opposite. The two were old friends. They sat down after paying homage to each other.
The King of Chu said: "I have always wanted to meet you, but the envoy I sent was blocked by the people of Qi. I could not tell you my wish in person. I felt sorry for this. I didn't expect that I finally came to meet you. It is a pleasant thing for me to have the opportunity to meet, and I have heard that like-minded friends come from afar. Please allow me to host a banquet to entertain you."
Pang Nuan quietly looked at the King of Chu who was frantically flattering Xunzi in front of him. He had been talking here for a long time without even drinking a glass of water. As soon as Xunzi came, he would hold a banquet to entertain him... However, he vaguely felt that , Xunzi's coming to Chu must be related to the war. He should be here to help him?
Xunzi said with a smile: "It was because I was invited this time that I felt the country of Chu." As he said this, he looked at the man behind him. The King of Chu was stunned. It seemed that he had not sent anyone to invite him. The man standing behind Xunzi finally raised his head. King Chu did not recognize this man. He looked haggard and his eyes were red. After returning to his most familiar hometown, this former iron-blooded general, I couldn't help crying on the carriage.
Familiar buildings, clothes, and pleasant words.
Lord Linwu felt that even if he died here, it might be worth it.
"The guilty minister first, come here to plead guilty." Lord Linwu knelt half in front of King Chu. King Chu frowned and suddenly reacted and shouted: "Lord Linwu Xiang first?" Before King Chu's father During the period of King Qingxiang of Chu, Lord Linwu was once highly regarded. However, he was defeated miserably by Bai Qi, causing the Chu State to lose Wu County and Qianzhong County. He fled in fear of crime and became a shame to the Chu State. The King of Chu reacted , his face full of anger, "You committed a serious crime, how come you dare to come back?"
Lord Linwu lowered his head and said, "I am here to apologize to you and ask you to deal with it."
As he spoke, he suddenly grinned.
This made King Chu even more angry and asked: "Why are you so happy?"
"I haven't spoken Chu dialect for a long time. I'm happy because my native accent hasn't changed at all."
The King of Chu did not question him again. He looked at Xunzi on the side and said seriously: "The state of Chu has its own laws, and there is no reason to avoid punishment because of other people's persuasion." Obviously, he already knew Xunzi's purpose. .
"The Chu State killed the defeated generals. I think it was to enable the generals to fight to the death and not retreat. They would rather die on the battlefield than be punished and killed. However, is this system really reasonable? I heard that no one in the world is born with People who know all the truth, people make up for their own shortcomings through learning, carry forward their own advantages, and kill the generals who lead the troops just because of a defeat, without giving them a chance to reflect. This is the reason why Chu State has no generals today. "
"If you can forgive Lord Linwu's mistake, the generals of Chu will no longer hide at home and dare not go to war. Only those who are not afraid of failure can succeed. Do you think this is the right approach?" Xunzi Asked, the King of Chu thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "I understand, I am a stupid king. If you don't have a wise man like you to remind me, I'm afraid you will make a lot of mistakes. I don't know if you can stay here." Where is your side?"
Xunzi was stunned. King Qin didn't dare to recruit him directly at first, but King Chu was actually quite interesting.
Seeing that Xunzi did not answer, King Chu looked at Lord Linwu again. He frowned and said, "I will forgive your crime. You will no longer be the king of Chu. Please go and be a captain in the army." Lieutenant." Lord Linwu hurriedly thanked King Chu, thanked Xunzi, and then left the palace. A young captain like him was not qualified to stay in the palace. When he walked out of the palace, Lord Linwu said, No, Xiang Xian only felt extremely comfortable all over his body, as if a mountain pressing on him had been removed, and his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.
"Bai Qi..." He raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and read out the name of his enemy.
In the palace, King Chu continued to talk to Xunzi, completely ignoring Pang Nuan. Pang Nuan was not in a hurry to say anything, but Mao Sui couldn't bear it. He walked out directly from Pang Nuan and walked to the palace. Next to the King of Chu, he grabbed the hand of the King of Chu. The King of Chu looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do. Mao Sui then said angrily: "The matter of the alliance is only good for the Chu State. No harm done!"
"Today, the Chu State has a land of five thousand miles and millions of soldiers. This is the posture of an overlord. With the strength of the Chu State, no country in the world can stop it. Bai Qi is just a mediocre villain. That's it, you brought tens of thousands of Qin's troops and soldiers to fight against Chu. They captured Yanying in one battle, burned Yiling in another battle, and insulted your ancestors in three battles. This is what even Zhao will do I am ashamed of the hatred that will never be forgotten, but you don’t know how to take revenge on Qin!”
