Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 110 Discuss with Confucius and become famous all over the world! (seeking subscription)

This time, the options returned to four again. Su Che couldn't help frowning as he looked at these four options.

These four options, except for the first one, have enough information, allowing Su Che to guess the approximate existence.

The first one, Su Che has several guesses, but he is not sure which one it is.

But the second one should be Lai Junchen, the favorite minister of Empress Wu Zetian.

This guy is a scoundrel and a good informer.

After gaining Wu Zetian's trust, he successively served as Shi Yushi, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Tai Servant, and organized hundreds of rogues to specialize in informants.

He is the sharpest knife in Wu Zetian's hand. He made all kinds of cruel instruments of torture, established torture prisons, used torture to extract confessions, and arbitrarily fabricated crimes to death. Thousands of ministers and Li Tang's clan were murdered in vain.

The final outcome is self-evident, throw away the gloves when they are dirty, and kill them if they are useless.

The third place should be Zhou Chu. Su Che has heard a little about the story of Zhou Chu eliminating the three evils, and it is exactly the same as this opening introduction.

As for the fourth place, Su Che guessed that it should be a sage from the Spring and Autumn Period.

According to the description, it might be... Fan (fàn) Li?

Fan Li was also born in Nanyang County, known as the Shang Sage among the Five Sages of Nanyang.

Although Fan Li was born in a poor and humble background, he was erudite and versatile.

He knew Chu Wanling's language well and had a close relationship.

Dissatisfied with the political darkness of Chu State at that time, and non-nobles were not allowed to be officials, they defected to Yue State together. Later, they were worshiped as the top doctor and prime minister, and assisted Goujian of Yue State.

He helped Goujian rejuvenate the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu Kingdom. He was ashamed of Kuaiji, achieved hegemony, and was named a general.

After becoming famous, Ji Liu retreated bravely, changed his name and surname to Chi Yi Zi Pi, and roamed among the 72 peaks.

During this period, he became very rich by doing business three times, scattered his family wealth three times, and wrote two chapters of "Fan Li" Art of War.

Later, he settled in Taoqiu, Song Dynasty, and called himself "Tao Zhu Gong".

This is a legendary existence.

It is also the one with the highest achievement among these heroic spirit choices...

Su Che didn't think much, and immediately chose the fourth option.

As soon as the choice was made, the other choices disappeared one after another, and this sentence appeared in the Book of Qiling.

"When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked."

This sentence is a sentence written by Fan Li to his friend Wen Zhong.

It is also a very classic saying that has been widely circulated in later generations.

Fan Li's intention was to warn Wenzhong that even though Goujian, King of Yue, was able to endure hardships and be ashamed, he could share adversity and wealth, and he would attack counselors and heroes after he became famous.

It's a pity that Wenzhong failed to heed Fan Li's words and stayed away from the Yue Kingdom in time. After that, he was really killed by the suspicious Yue King Goujian.

After Su Che saw this sentence, such a picture appeared in front of his eyes. After a figure became famous, he gave up everything before, turned around and left the vortex of power. How chic it is!

Such a free and easy person, do you have any regrets?

Is it the legendary Shih Tzu?
Or Wen Zhong, a friend who failed to save himself?
or what...

Su Che frowned and thought for a while, the text in the book had already started to evolve, so Su Che quickly read it.

【You were born in a poor family in Sanhu Township, Wandi, Chu State. 】

【Your parents are common people with low status. They have been engaged in farming all their lives, and they will never have a bright future. 】

[Because your mother gave birth to Li by the shore of Pengli Lake, so she was named "Li". 】

[You are born smart, and you have shown extraordinary since you were a child. Your parents asked people to teach you everywhere. 】

【You are making rapid progress, you have a photographic memory, and you gradually master all the knowledge you have seen. 】

[At a young age, you are full of literary talents, both civil and military, and are well-known in Wandi. 】

[But your status is low, and you cannot become an official in Chu State, which makes you dissatisfied. 】

【Your decision is...】

[One, continue to train.Second, run away with a bucket.Three, travel around.Fourth, personally intervene. 】

Seeing the options appear, Su Che couldn't help showing a smile.

According to past practice, it should be directly intervening regardless of 21.

Mang is over!
But this time, Su Che didn't rush to intervene directly, but planned to observe it before talking.

He looked at the options ahead and thought for a while.

One, continue to temper, it should mean to continue to study literature, practice martial arts, and temper yourself. This is a very neutral choice.

Second, carrying the bucket and running away, this time point is still a little too early. Fan Li defected to Yue State with him after getting acquainted with Wen Zhong.

Three, traveling around, this is a good choice.

The so-called reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles.

If you can't let what you have learned can be reflected in your life, and at the same time increase your knowledge, that is, combine theory with practice and apply what you have learned.

That much learning is nothing more than talking on paper—oh, the idiom of talking on paper has not yet come out at this stage, but it probably means something like this.

Although the current Fan Li was unable to become an official due to his low status, he was already well-known, so he should have no shortage of money, so this option appeared.

Su Che didn't think much, and directly chose the third option.

【travel around】

As soon as the choice is made, other choices disappear one after another, and the words in the book continue to evolve.

【You decide to travel around and apply what you have learned. 】

【You bid farewell to your parents, embarked on a journey, traveled around, studied everywhere, worked everywhere, traveled between countries, and increased your knowledge and knowledge. 】

[At this time, the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains has come to an end. The war that lasted for hundreds of years, after several generations of monarchs' tragic tug-of-war, finally ended with the victory of Jin. 】

[But for the victory of this battle, the price Jin paid was very painful, and Jin's power inevitably shifted downward. 】

【Duke Jin Dao, who originally possessed great talent and general strategy, died young, which caused the hegemony of Jin State to plummet. 】

【His death also marks the transition from prosperity to decline of the state of Jin, and gradually towards its demise. 】

[Not only the once powerful state of Jin, but also the entire world, and many vassal states, have inevitably experienced a downward shift of power, and it is not uncommon for officials to overthrow the monarch. 】

[One era is over, another era is about to begin. 】

[You are looking forward to this new era that is about to kick off! 】

[You met Kong Zhongni who traveled around the world and gave lectures. 】

[Kong Zhongni created a style of private lectures, advocating benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. He had three thousand disciples, including 72 sages. 】

【He has traveled around the world, you have heard of it for a long time, but seeing him now, he really lives up to his reputation! 】

【You are at the bottom of the table, listened to Confucius lectures for several times, and got some insights, and you asked all kinds of puzzles, and you were answered one by one. 】

【You feel admiration in your heart and decide...】

[One, follow Confucius, two, continue to travel, three, return home, four, personally interfere. 】

Su Che watched the continuous evolution of lines in the book, and one picture after another kept flashing before his eyes, as if he was in the real scene.

Confucius……

Su Che really never expected that when he let Fan Li travel around, he happened to meet Confucius who traveled around the world and gave lectures.

Su Che had heard of the great name of Confucius for a long time, and Su Che admired this saint. As for his theory being misinterpreted by later generations, it was inevitable.

Confucius had no intention of discriminating against Fan Li, a scholar who was born at the bottom, and patiently explained to him all kinds of confusion and problems.

After only listening to a few lectures, he was greatly shocked and had the idea of ​​following Confucius.

This is the personality charm of the saint.

Look at the four options.

Su Che couldn't help thinking.

Follow Confucius?

If you really want to follow Confucius, it is also a choice.

only……

In this way, is this still his Fan Li's story?

I'm afraid I don't know where it went.

After hesitating for a while, Su Che shook his head and looked at the other two options.

Continue to travel, this can be regarded as a choice, with the travel of these days, Fan Li's knowledge is constantly increasing, enough to be called a school and even use four words.

As for returning to my hometown and getting back on track together, this is also a good choice.

As for the fourth option, personally intervening, it is even more tempting.

Let Su Che meet the eternally famous Kong Shengren in person, have a chat with him, and exchange his thoughts and ideas...

Su Che closed his eyes, thought for a while, and finally chose the fourth option.

【Personal interference】

Su Che opened his eyes again, and there was a burly and tall man sitting in front of him, it was Kong Zhongni.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the surnames were separated, the surname was the surname, and the surname was the surname.

After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the surnames were combined into one, so they were not divided, and they were commonly called surnames.

Strictly speaking, most of the surnames now are family names at that time.

For example, Kong Shengren, the "Kong" is his clan.

His surname is Zi, Kong, first name Qiu, style name Zhongni.

For example, Qu Yuan, Qu is Shi.

His surname is Mi, his first name is Ping, and his character is Yuan.

Qu is the fiefdom of the ancestors, because it is considered a clan.

You can’t call him Mi Yuan, you can only call him Qu Yuan—because men can only be called by their surnames, not their surnames, and surnames are used to address women.

So there is no such thing as Mi Yuan.

Another example is Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, in this era, it must not be called Yingzheng.

Ying's surname is Zhao. According to the Zhou system, men are not called by their surnames, so they should be called Zhao Zheng and Qin Zheng.

Zhao Zheng was his name when he was in Zhao State, and Qin Zheng was his name when he came to Qin State.

This is off topic.

Confucius' face was not handsome, it could even be said to be ordinary, and a bit peculiar.

He has everted nostrils, protruding eyes, crooked teeth, big earlobes, hands above the knees, and an uneven build.

However, such a person has an indescribable charisma, anyone who has come into contact with him will be deeply infected by him.

Confucius has a gentle personality, very easy-going, righteous, majestic but not fierce, and very humble at the same time, good at convincing others with virtue.

At the same time, he is tall and burly, with powerful Kong Wu and amazing arm strength.

For example, not long ago, the carriage got stuck in the mud and the horses could not pull it. Confucius got out of the carriage and pushed it out with one hand.

In addition, Confucius' drinking capacity was also unfathomable. He drank booze with dozens of people, one against ten, but he never got drunk.

"Do you have any other confusing questions?" Confucius asked with a smile while looking at Su Che.

"Student has one more question." Su Che nodded.

"Please speak." Confucius waved his hand.

"Then the student said..." Su Che raised his head slowly: "The student wants to ask, how can the world be united?"

As soon as these words came out, Confucius showed a surprised expression.

Many disciples around, including Zilu, Ran You, Zigong, and Zigao, looked at Su Che in astonishment—what kind of problem is this?
You kid is here to mess things up!
This question is indeed a little too much.

Too general, too ethereal, too big!
this problem.

It also depends on the person.

If he was facing other people, Su Che would never ask such a question, but facing the legendary Kong Shengren, he couldn't help but asked his own question.

in the past few worlds.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Su Che pursued the great harmony of the world, but that goal was so far away.

In the end he accomplished his goal with a constitutional monarchy.

But the question is... is the world really unified?
If people are different, they will not be equal.

When people have desires, they will have differences.

This concept, from the very beginning, is simply a loft in the air, an illusory existence.

Even if the constitutional monarchy succeeded later, it achieved short-term success.

But there is still a long way to go before the great harmony of the world. Strictly speaking, Su Che has not achieved his original goal.

and so.

When simulating Zhang Zhongjing, Su Che changed his path. Instead of rebelling, he controlled the lifeblood of the country through business, developed technology frantically, expanded overseas colonies, and shifted domestic conflicts outward. be strong.

And this has indeed succeeded, but the problem is that this is not the so-called Great Harmony, and the situation of oppression also exists.

Later, when imitating Chongzhen, Su Che became even more extreme.

He directly came to a big cleansing, a big reshuffle, and killed all the vested interests in the country, the gentry and the wealthy families, and the official families. To flourish.

But the problem is, with the passage of time, everything will return to the way it was before.

This is the fateful cycle of the dynasty, and it is difficult to change the situation.

Human heart.

After all, it is extremely complicated, and desires are endless. There are not too many people who want to look forward to Shu.

The "world harmony" pursued by Su Che is actually the ultimate goal of Confucius.

for this ultimate goal.

The way Confucius followed was the way of benevolence.

He constructed a complete ideological system of "morality and morality": at the individual level, he advocated the virtues and virtues of "benevolence and propriety".

The system of morality and morality is based on the theory of the goodness of nature, with the ultimate purpose of establishing human beings, connecting the way of humanity with the way of heaven and the way of authenticity, and the mediocrity of humanity and timely transformation into a complete ideological system of methodology.

All that Confucius did was to move towards his ideal world of "Great Harmony".

In the ideal world of Confucius, the world of Datong.

People in the world do not only regard their own family members as relatives, not only love their parents and children, but respect and love each other, and love all people in the world.

Old age will end, growth will be useful, children can get warmth and care, lonely people and disabled people have something to rely on, men have their own affairs, and women have a satisfactory destination.

In the world there is no cheating, no thieves, no picking up lost things on the road, no closing the door at night, everyone is trustworthy and harmonious, and the talents are selected.

How can all this be done?

The journey of the great road also means that the world is for the public.

It can be said that Confucius is a more unrealistic idealist than Su Che. For this ideal, he has been taking action and making his own efforts throughout his life, even though he clearly knows that his knowledge is not suitable for this ideal. era.

A man of sage, is it a waste of fame?
Confucius shook his head and said: "I also want to achieve great harmony in the world, but the road to great harmony is so far away. This is an unattainable goal. My way of benevolence is to walk towards this goal gradually..."

"So, I can't answer your question, because this answer does not have an accurate answer, or in other words, there is no achievable answer."

"Do you have any insight into this?"

Obviously, Confucius saw Su Che's intention, and saw that he had his own thoughts and understandings.

Hearing what Confucius said, Su Che who was sitting straightened up a little, and said, "I have some superficial knowledge, and I want to share it with Master, please give me some pointers."

"Please speak." Confucius heard the words, his expression became more serious, and at the same time he sat up straight as much as possible, pretending to be listening attentively.

Su Che said slowly: "I don't think your path is wrong. The so-called "Great Harmony" is just a vague vision. It is not so much the reconstruction of the political system as it is spiritual nirvana."

"It's not wrong for you to advocate benevolence, public mind and conduct, and the world as a public, but I think it's very difficult to do!"

"It is often difficult for those with vested interests to achieve true empathy, nor can they act with a fair heart."

"The rich and those in power will never understand the situation and emotions of the poor. They will not understand why some people starve to death. Since there is no food to eat, shouldn't eating meat be enough?"

"Why are you poor? Rent out the idle mansion and let the idle carriages be solicited, wouldn't it be enough?"

"Even if they behave in a fair manner and the world is for the public, they would never have imagined that there are still people in this world who can be so miserable!"

As soon as these words came out, Confucius frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't say anything, and continued to listen to Su Che's words.

However, the disciples of Confucius changed their faces when they heard these words...

I only heard Su Che continue to say:

"Although everyone in the world is connected, but different hearts, different voices, and different actions are things that hinder the heart."

"You believe that the Son of Heaven, the King, and Doctor Qing are the core of the great unity of the world. You have always declared that your mission is to restrain yourself and restore the rituals in this society where the rituals have collapsed and the music is ruined, so that the world can return to prosperity."

"But I think that the real road to great harmony in the world is never to go back to the past, on the contrary, it is to break and then build."

"The old order can't be maintained, and the rituals will collapse and the music will be broken. This period of time is certainly bad..."

"But the ideal of great harmony in the world can only be realized in the short term after going through a long and painful process."

"The collapse of rites and music is not a chaotic world, but an opportunity for the world."

"The old order has collapsed, and it cannot be restored no matter what, so why bother to restore this order?"

"I think it's better to rebuild the order than restore the rituals, so that we can truly break up and then establish."

"I think the 'benevolence', 'harmony', 'virtue', and 'the world is for the public' you preach may create spiritual enslavement for the lower class..."

As soon as these words came out, the sound was like thunder on the ground, and the originally clear sky outside the house quickly became cloudy, the wind howled, and the rain poured down.

The candlelight in the room was flickering, and Zilu, Ran You, Zigong, Zigao and others who were still sitting quietly stood up one by one.

Their faces were livid, their eyes were wide open, and some of them couldn't resist pulling out their swords.

Brush brush!
A group of people drew their swords one after another and pointed at Su Che.

"Madman! Do you know what you're talking about! Who are you talking about!"

"Arrogance, what kind of Confucianism do you know, how dare you say such a thing!"

"Which school are you from? How dare you be presumptuous here!"

"How dare you slander Confucianism like this, you will be punished!"

They questioned Su Che, if they didn't agree with each other, they would kill him here!

Su Che's words almost negated everything Confucius had done in his previous life.

He even denied the entire Confucianism. To his disciples, what a treason!What arrogance!
Who are you?A lowly common man, Confucius did not despise you for being vulgar, and put you by his side to listen to him. After listening to you for a few days, he dared to say such words. This is really lawless!There is simply no reason!
Confucius' knowledge is a journey of the great way, and the world is for the public.

This is the only way they believe that the world can move towards a world of great harmony.

But Su Che said that this will become the shackles of ordinary people in the world, making them spiritual slaves...

Naturally, such a violent theory cannot be accepted by them!
They will not admit it even if they die, they are fair-hearted and act in a fair way, everyone loves them, select the virtuous and capable, and trustworthy and harmonious, so people don’t only kiss their relatives, they don’t only have sons and sons, so that the old will die, the strong will be useful, and the young will be strong The widows, the widows, the widows, the lonely, the disabled, and the disabled all have their own care. Such a beautiful vision will actually lead to a worse society!
It's like saying "as long as everyone is full of love" will lead to the destruction of the world, what kind of heresy, what strange words!Simply unreasonable!
Such violent remarks directly angered them!I can't listen to it anymore!

In fact, this is indeed Su Che's "consequence-only theory".

Because history will gradually prove that he is right, so he directly deduces that this is a wrong path based on the results. How can others accept it?

People at this time, who would have known that great Confucianism would gradually become lowly Confucianism and corrupt Confucianism?

They are all great Confucians with a public heart and deeds, and sages who are dedicated to the world.

Su Che's words naturally couldn't get their approval.

Confucius was listening to Su Che's words with a frown, when he suddenly heard his disciple scolding, he couldn't help frowning, and asked a little strangely: "What are you doing?"

"Master...he..." Zi Gong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Confucius again.

"I ask you, what are you doing?" Confucius asked calmly.

"This man is arrogant, I want to kill him!" Zilu said.

"This is a struggle between ideas and concepts, but you want to use swords. Is this an insult to me? Or an insult to this gentleman? If you want to kill him, then kill me first." Confucius said calmly .

As soon as these words came out, a group of disciples could not help but look at each other, they could only give Su Che a vicious look, and then sat down on the spot.

Their usual personalities are not like this, it's really because Su Che's words are too earth-shattering, directly challenging their bottom line, it would be strange if they didn't get angry.

"Please continue, sir." Confucius turned his head to look at Su Che and said with a smile.

Su Che could feel the sincerity of Confucius. His behavior in this life was directly denied, but he was not angry, but let Su Che continue talking. What kind of tolerance is this?

Su Che took a deep breath and continued:
"Perhaps your starting point is good, but these concepts, these theories, I am afraid that they will gradually become a tool for the rulers and a means for them to control the people at the bottom."

"Your original intention is to educate the world, but the problem is... many things in this world are counterproductive, and the final result is often biased towards another result."

"I think that if you want to make progress, you must go through cruel lessons, overcome each problem, and establish a new order, a brand-new social concept, different from the past."

"In this world, many things are contradictory, because the nature of the world is unbalanced."

"The so-called man can conquer nature is to turn all imbalances into balance, even though it will change from balance to imbalance later."

"This is the way of heaven, but also the way of humanity."

"But as long as we repeat the cycle and continue to make each cycle more advanced than the last one, then everything will develop in a good direction."

"Imbalance is constant and absolute, while balance is temporary and relative."

"Let the imbalance return to balance again and again, and the final destination is probably Datong."

Su Che's words were very general and obscure, and the disciples at the side were confused, but when they heard the word "balanced", they guessed that this person was from Lao Tzu's school and came to smash their Confucianism!It's abominable!

However, Confucius understood.

But just because he understood it, it made him a little confused... Which school of thought is this?
The way of balance is the way of Lao Tzu. Chapter 77 of Tao Te Ching says: Is the way of heaven like a bow?Those who are high suppress it, those who are low lift it; those who have excess damage it, and those who are insufficient make up for it.The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking in the excess of damage; it is not the case in the way of man, in which the excess is not enough to be compensated for.Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist.It is because the sage does not rely on it, and does not rely on it, and does not want to see the virtuous.

However, the balance Su Che mentioned is fundamentally different from Lao Tzu's balance.

Laozi pays attention to governance by doing nothing. The balance he talked about and Su Che's balance are not the same thing!
So Confucius didn't know for a while which school the young man in front of him came from?

Confucius advocated that the world should be public, but what Su Che said meant "people-oriented", which coincided with some aspects of Confucius' remarks. Although this theory is crude, it opened up a whole new world for Confucius. world.

Confucius asked, "What is balance?"

Su Che replied: "Balance is comprehensive balance."

"Comprehensive balance?" Confucius was a little puzzled: "What is the explanation for this?"

Su Che continued: "There is an imbalance between princes and princes, between high officials and high officials, between scholars and scholars, and between people and people, because imbalance is a universal objective law."

"If you want to achieve a comprehensive balance, theory alone is not enough. You need to go through continuous efforts, continuous progress, and continuous changes to finally achieve the balance of the world."

Confucius:"……"

What kind of ambition is this?
It is even more difficult to balance the world's princes, the world's high officials, the world's scholar-bureaucrats, and the world's people than his "the world is for the public".

Confucius shook his head, and said slowly: "This is too difficult. It is not the power of one person or the power of a country. Even a hegemon can't do it, and he can't do it. How can you do it? How can it be done?"

It's really hard.

But Su Che is not one of those arrogant brats, he has the confidence to say these words.

He has gone through three worlds and used different methods in the three worlds to make the originally chaotic world strong again and achieve a certain degree of "comprehensive balance", although this balance will still be broken soon.

But the problem is that there is no system in the world that automatically solves all problems once and for all.

Being able to achieve a comprehensive balance in a short time is already the limit of what Su Che can do.

What he needs to do is to summarize this thought and then convey it.

Let the torch never die.

"Whose way is this?" Confucius looked at Su Che and asked slowly.

"This is my way." Su Che said.

Confucius asked again: "How does your school achieve this? What is the core of your school?"

Su Che replied: "No self altruism, seek truth from facts, unity of opposites!"

As soon as these words came out, Confucius frowned, as if he had seen the scene of that whole new world, as if he had already entered it, he murmured: "I can understand selfless altruism, seeking truth from facts, unity of opposites, why? "

Su Che replied: "The law of contradiction in things, that is, the law of the unity of opposites, is the most fundamental law of materialist dialectics..."

The disciples next to the words did not understand, but Confucius understood it all at once.

He really deserved the title of saint, nodded at this moment and said: "One is two, two is one?"

"Exactly." Su Che nodded.

"It's a very interesting theory. It's a bit like Lao Tzu's, but it's completely different from his theory. Can you tell me about it in detail?" Master smiled and nodded, "Let's sit down and discuss it?"

"I wish for it." Su Che nodded.

Ever since, Su Che and Confucius began to sit and discuss.

Su Che explained his thoughts in detail.

Some of his ways come from the essence of modern human culture and thought thousands of years later. They are the roads traveled by great men, and they are also the experiences he summed up after going through three worlds.

The same is true of Confucius. Although his Taoism is limited by this era, as a sage of this era, his Taoism is also unfathomable.

The discussion between the two lasted for seven days and seven nights.

During the period, countless great sages came to hear the news and listen to the two discussing the Tao.

The disciples recorded all the conversations between the two and passed them down.

During these seven days and seven nights, Su Che has benefited a lot. A saint is worthy of being a saint, and his way has been greatly improved, which made him more determined about his own way.

Confucius was also influenced by Su Che, but he did not completely deny his past path, but modified it.

Confucius didn’t pessimistically think that his way was worth mentioning. After receiving Su Che’s supplement, he became more optimistic. Seeking truth from facts is very useful. To extend it a little bit, isn’t this the “unity of knowledge and action”?
As for the "selfless and altruistic", isn't it what he once said, "Being self-serving and ignoring others"?
As for the unity of opposites, it is also similar to his "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself", um... This is a bit far away, but it can be corrected.

In theory, Confucius got a lot of supplements, which made him very happy.

Seven days later, Su Che's reputation spread throughout the world, and people called him "Fan Zi" from time to time.

After the fame spread far and wide, Su Che returned to his hometown.

At this time, conflicts arose between Chu State and its neighbor Wu State.

The two sides fought each other and fought.

The reason for the war is absurd.

On the border of Wu State, there is a small city in Beiliang.

On the Chu side, there is also a small city called Zhongli.

Beiliang City and Zhongli City live next to each other, but because they belong to different countries, the two sides hear each other's voices, but they never communicate with each other.

One day, two girls in Zhongli City and Beiliang City had a quarrel and a fight because they were picking mulberry leaves from a mulberry tree on the border at the same time.

When the two women returned to the village and told the story, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the elders in the family.

The elders of the two families fought fiercely, and they were evenly matched for a while.

The two families asked for help from the village one after another. After the news spread to the village, people from the two villages joined the battle one after another, which directly turned into a fight between the two villages. In the final scuffle, a Wu man was beaten to death by a Chu man. .

The people of Wu Guobei Liangcheng heard that the people in their own city were beaten to death by Zhongli's people, so the local governor led the army to sweep Zhongli City privately and took revenge severely.

As for Chu State, the news that Zhongli City was raided soon spread to the capital of the Chu King, and the Chu King immediately ordered to dispatch the army of Chu State to directly capture Beiliang City in Wu State!Take this border town!
On the Wu side, after learning that Beiliang City had been captured, they were also not to be outdone, and also sent a large army to attack Chu State. Not only did they take back Beiliang City, but they also captured Zhongli City and Juchao, an important town in Chu State.

The quarrel between the two mulberry-picking girls directly caused the "War of the Century" and led to the beginning of the chaotic era of "Wu-Chu Struggle for Hegemony"!
After the turmoil started, Su Che, a "Fan Zi" who was born at the bottom, still did not receive an olive branch from Chu, but instead received an invitation from King Liao of Wu.King Liao of Wu heard that Fan Zi sat and discussed with Confucius for seven days and seven nights, so he invited him to the country to take up the post of Shang Dafu.

After Su Che received this news, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He, Fan Li, actually received an invitation from Wu Kingdom because of his reputation?
He, Fan Li, is the mastermind of destroying Wu!

Su Che originally wanted to refuse, but after another thought, that kid Gou Jian, who can share adversity but cannot share wealth, is really an ungrateful person, such a cold-hearted person, why should he follow?
Therefore, Su Che readily accepted Wu Wangliao's invitation, and took his whole family to Wu to become an official.

It is worth mentioning that in this era, there is no concept of "great unification".

Don't think that Su Che's behavior is a betrayal of the Chu country where he was born and raised, that is the so-called treason.

In fact, this kind of behavior is roughly understood as "going out of the province to work"-is it "rebelling against the province" if you go to work in other provinces?

In this day and age, too, it's a very normal situation.

After all, whether it is Chu State or Wu State, they are just vassal states, and they all belong to the Zhou Dynasty!
Wu Zixu was also the one who went to the country of Wu with Su Che.

Wu Zixu's father, Wu She, was the tutor of King Ping of Chu.

He was arrested because of Fei Wuji's slander, and the king of Chu asked Wu She's two talented sons to enter the palace, otherwise he would kill Wu She.

This made it clear that Wu Zixu's family was going to be completely wiped out, leaving no future troubles.

Influenced by filial piety, Wu Zixu's older brother, Wu Shang, willingly entered the palace, but was arrested and sentenced to death.

However, Wu Zixu decided to run for his life and take revenge in the future. Because of Wu Zixu's escape, the king of Chu directly killed Wu She and Wu Shang.

His father was killed, and Wu Zixu was determined to take revenge, but how could he alone fight against the mighty overlord Chu?

At this time, he turned his gaze to the country of Wu, and followed Su Che to the country of Wu.

But different from Su Che, it was not King Liao of Wu who received him, but Prince Guang of Wu Kingdom.

King Shoumeng of Wu had four sons: the eldest son Zhu Fan, the second son Yu Ji, the third son Yi Mei, and the fourth son Ji Zha.

Prince Guang is the eldest son of Zhu Fan, and King Liao of Wu is the eldest son of Yi Mei, and they are cousins.

Before Wu Wangyi died, he decided to pass the throne to his younger brother Jizha.

But Ji Zha resigned, unwilling to ascend the throne, and went away to the state of Jin.

Then, the court of the state of Wu made Liao, the son of the barbarian, the king of Wu.

But Young Master Guang always believed that since the throne was passed on to Ji Zha, if Ji Zha resigned, then the throne should be his own.

So he was very dissatisfied with King Liao of Wu who had already ascended the throne.

He took the initiative to show his talents, led his troops to attack Chu State many times, and won some victories.

Young Master Guang felt that only he could make the state of Wu stronger.

Therefore, he tried his best to expand Wu's territory and win the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, he secretly made friends with talented people, hoping to use their help to find an opportunity to kill King Liao of Wu and seize the throne.

This includes Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu was eager for revenge, and every day told Prince Guang the benefits of attacking Chu, telling him to send troops quickly.

After hearing this, Young Master Guang said: "Xu's father and brother wanted to avenge themselves by killing them in Chu. I haven't seen any benefit."

It means that your father was beheaded by Chu State, and you are actually fighting for your father's revenge, and there is no benefit in fighting Chu State.

After hearing this, Wu Zixu first knew that Young Master Guang was very accurate and smart in judging people, and second, he saw that this young man had great ambitions. In order to test Young Master Guang, Wu Zixu introduced to him: "I know a man named Zhuan Zhu." , this man is a fisherman who often fishes beside Taihu Lake, his grilled fish (grilled fish) is very distinctive, and at the same time he is tall and strong, and he is good at assassination!"

After hearing this, Young Master Guang was overjoyed!

In this day and age, for the sake of the throne, 'Brothers and Brothers Gong' couldn't be more normal.

This man named Zhuan Zhu was the assassin who later assassinated King Liao of Wu.

He hid the sword in the belly of the fish and killed King Liao of Wu with this sword.

And this sword is the famous Fish Intestine Sword!
When all these conspiracies are about to start...

An accident, or rather, an unexpected guest appeared.

Su Che found Wu Zixu.
