A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 235 Confucian Meng Ke
The war between Western Chu State and Qin State was very fierce. Seeing that the army was at a stalemate, Xiang Yu personally led the elite to attack the commander of the Qin army.

As a result, the Qin army was brave and fearless, and even blocked it. At the same time, Gongsun Yang ordered the left and right armies to outflank him. If Xiang Shao hadn't seen that the situation was not good, he hurriedly retreated, maybe this time he would be defeated by the Qin army. Siege.

On the Weihe Plain, the armies of both sides continued to fight, and countless corpses fell on this land.After experiencing the pain of destroying the country and working hard for decades, the state of Chu is now at the peak of its national strength, and the state of Qin has also reached the peak of its national strength after undergoing reforms.

Numerous limbs, broken arms, and flesh were scattered, and a large number of corpses fell to the ground.Broken and collapsed weapons were everywhere, and both countries suffered heavy casualties.

On the other side, Wei State also began to attack Qin State. Wei State wanted to drive Qin State out of Hexi again, but this time Qin was nailed to Hexi like a nail.

However, with the passage of time, the balance of war gradually tilted towards Qin.The Western Chu State attacked from the Baoxie Road. Although the Baoxie Road can pass through the army, it is still difficult to transfer grain and grass.More than five hundred miles of mountain roads made it difficult for the Chu army to transport grain and grass.

But Qin is fighting in the country, so there is no need to worry about food and grass.At the same time, the Qin army also dispatched a large army to attack Mei County at the exit of Baoxie Road, trying to cut off the back of Chu State.

If Chu State hadn't sent a large army to guard the rear, Chu State would have been cut off from retreating this time.Xiang Shao was unable to attack for a long time, food and grass were scarce, and his rear was also threatened. At this time, he was unable to fight any more, and the army began to retreat immediately.

The Qin army was overjoyed when they saw the Chu army retreating, and quickly sent a large army to pursue it. The Chu army had to leave one army behind before they got rid of the Qin army and retreated to Mei County.The army of the Qin army pursued, and the state of Chu finally had to withdraw from Mei County and return to Baoxie Road.

This time, the Western Chu State wanted to sneak attack Xianyang and destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop. As a result, the army stalemate for several months, and finally had to retreat sadly.

After Wei Guo learned that the Western Chu State had withdrawn its troops, it did not dare to fight the Qin army again, so it had to withdraw its troops to defend.

Although Qin's loss was not small this time, it also captured Shaoliang City and occupied a stronghold in the land of Hexi, laying the foundation for the next battle of Hexi.

With the retreat of the Western Chu State, Qin State did not pursue it for the time being. The three kingdoms lost a lot of national power in this battle, and they were unable to fight again for a while.Judging from the results of the battle, it was Qin who won and regained the land of Shaoliang, but Qin also lost a lot.

The war among Qin, Western Chu, and Wei came to an end for the time being, but the war between Bang and Zhou was far from over.There have always been conflicts between Yan and Qi.The State of Zhao is also at war with the State of Zhongshan, and there seems to be no peaceful day in this world.

At the time when the kingdoms of Bang and Zhou were constantly fighting, the Huai State Academy became more and more lively.The Mo family has also split now, some went to Qi and became Qi Mo, and some went to Qin and became Qin Mo.The rest stayed in Huai State and called Huai Mo.

On the contrary, Confucianism is getting stronger and stronger. Although none of the countries use the Confucian kingly way to govern the country, the prosperous times described by Confucianism are too attractive to scholars from all over the world.

Moreover, Confucianism has also begun to be inclusive, constantly taking theories and viewpoints from other schools, and then integrating them into itself.

It is very difficult to tell the winner in the battle of a hundred schools of thought, and the most important thing is that there are successors.

Because the strategist is a weapon of war, it will only be passed on to the closest people. Even if the strategist wants to spread it, the monarchs of various countries will stop it. They are worried that it will be learned by other countries, and if they attack him again, the strategist is doomed.

The Legalists and the Mohist School of Strategies and Strategies are prominent schools in the world, and basically they have already left their official positions in various countries, and they have no time to come to the academy to debate, and those who are left in the academy are either new learners or lack of talent, so it is impossible to count on them.

The theory of Taoism is too ethereal and ineffective, and there are not many in Huai Country Academy, but I heard that there was a great Taoist sage in Song Dynasty, King Huai has already sent people to look for it.

As for the Mohists, Qi Mo has completely abandoned the lower-level line after the three points, and started various debates instead. As for the concept of both love and non-aggression, it is not known.

Qin Mo was when some Mohist children saw the strict laws of Qin State, felt that Qin Law was equal and fair (the prince’s crimes were the same as common people’s crimes), and felt that Qin State could realize their ideals, so they went to Qin State, but they Now it is almost the same as a public loser, and has become a skilled craftsman.

However, those excellent disciples of Confucianism were not reused by the monarchs of various countries.After years of inheritance and integration, Confucianism has become very prosperous.

Like his father, Wang Kan often came to the academy to listen to the debates of these scholars, but this day he saw a majestic article from a Confucian student.

"The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the harmony of people."

"When you get the right way, you get more help than when you lose the right way.

"Life is what I want, righteousness is also what I want, the two cannot be obtained, and those who give up life and take righteousness!"

"The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the light."

Light life and death, great righteousness, can write such an article, Confucianism has produced another great sage!Wang Kan lamented that these articles were more radical than the previous Confucian theories.

It can be said that after Confucius, Confucianism is another great sage.Wang Kan immediately sent someone to invite this great sage to the academy.

Although many people think that many of the thoughts in this article are a bit deviant, it has made Confucianism take a big step forward.

These articles are very radical in the eyes of others, especially the lowering of Jun's position.But in the Huai country's storage room, among the books left by Zijue, there are even more deviant ones than this one.Therefore, Wang Kan was very surprised that there was such a great sage in Confucianism.

Wang Kan invited him to give lectures in the palace, and Meng Ke immediately agreed.Being able to give lectures in the academy will not only spread his theories and thoughts as quickly as possible, but also his articles and academic studies will be recorded in hundreds of schools of thought. This is a supreme honor for any scholar .

Meng Ke came to the academy at the invitation of the envoy of Huai State.Wang Kan also saw this great Confucian sage. Compared with other Confucian scholars who strictly abide by etiquette, this Meng Ke looks energetic and carefree.

Meng Ke gave lectures in the Huaiguo Academy, and many people came to listen to the lectures. Even after he finished speaking, many scholars thought of asking questions and having debates.

When it was time for the debate, everyone found out that Meng Ke's debate was so sharp that even the Mohists, who are famous for their debates, couldn't argue with him.

Everyone is yearning for the righteousness that Meng Ke explained, but very few can do it.But Meng Ke acted according to the articles he wrote.
