History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 42 Young Master Lie

Feng Yun answered for Gong Zilie: "Inspire means to encourage."

"There are two methods of encouragement, one is to reward and promise, and the other is to give emotions. Naturally, there is no need to say much about rewards. Just a promise can make some people charge and kill the enemy."

"The emphasis of Taigong's encouragement of the army is to impart emotions - the general can share the cold and heat, toil, and hunger with the soldiers, so as to influence the soldiers; when on the battlefield, the generals lead the soldiers, and the soldiers will naturally not be afraid of life and death. .”

"It's positive sentiment, but there's also negative sentiment."

"This is grief and anger."

"Sorrow and anger..." Gong Zilie lowered his head and thought about the word sadness and anger.

Feng Yun said softly: "Sadness means sadness, anger means unwillingness."

"I think you are a loyal and filial person. If an enemy kills you, will you be sad or angry? Will you turn your anger into anger and risk your life to fight the enemy?"

Young Master Lie Na Na, however, was loyal and filial: "My father is the lord of the country, and he has created my life. I am a minister and a son, so I will naturally fight to the death."

"If the court is full of such sad and angry people, it only needs the guidance of an equally sad and angry monarch to turn the grief and anger into anger. Then even if the Yuejun personally goes to conquer the country, his soldiers will be afraid of the sorrow, anger and hatred of the court. Why? What do you need to offer your beauty..."

"It's a pity...it's easy to say, but hard to find sadness and anger."

After Feng Yun finished speaking, he also ate all the dried meat in his hands and wanted to go back to the carriage to read a book.

Young Master Lie came back to his senses and hurriedly tried to stop him.

After being stopped, Wang Zhifeng Yun had a displeased expression, and immediately took out the "Strategies for Sharing Sharing" and said, "Earlier, Your Majesty regarded Doctor Situ as your treacherous wife. I picked up this policy and came here to pay it back to you."

Master... now he is called Master.

Feng Yun took the "Co-relationship Policy", which was tied with thin ropes, but he had never opened it.

Feng Yun threw it away and fell into the extinguishing fire in front of him.

"Ugh!"

"Master, what do you mean, this is yours..."

"If you don't need it, why do you need it?"

Young Master Lie hurriedly fished out "Co-relation" from the fire.

The flames burned, the binding ropes were burned, and the animal skins on the outside were also damaged and mottled.

But the silk script inside has not changed because of the protection of culture.

Written by a third-rate literati, it is still the original. This policy itself has its own magic, but it is just a word, not implemented, and it only has the power of being invulnerable to water and fire, and the meager power of self-protection.

"We work together to make a difference - we work together to make a difference, and the small one makes the big one fall..."

Young Master Lie was slightly stunned when he read, but he was not ignorant of strategies. He became fascinated by the reading. His expression changed, sometimes frowning, sometimes happy, and then doubtful. He sighed, held the strategy tightly, and sat down in the cold Next to the seedy ash heap.

"Sir, it's cold outside at night, so please get in the car." A guard came.

Young Master Lie said: "Add some firewood, I want to sit outside for a while."

"promise."

Looking at "Co-relationship Strategy", Gongzi Lie knew Feng Yun's talent, but he was still young and had not learned enough to judge whether this strategy would work.

Seeing that Feng Yun's carriage was lit with an oil lamp, as if he was reading a book, Master Lie said: "I'll bother you again tomorrow, and I'll take a closer look."

After that, he picked up the policy again, read it carefully, and wrote down the unclear parts, waiting for questioning tomorrow.

Feng Yun, who was in the carriage, looked at Gongzi Lie who was sitting by the fire, immersed in "Cooperation", and shook his head slightly.

"The State of Yue will not take action against the court just because a young master is going there. He really shouldn't be allowed to go."

Feng Yun thought that if it were possible, perhaps the court would have a different look when Prince Lie succeeded to the throne.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as what-if, and due to luck, the Yue Kingdom will not give Da Ting a chance.

"There are only twelve chapters in "Dragon Tao" written by Da Ting Kingdom."

Feng Yun continued to read "Six Tao" deeply...

……

Finished overnight.

In the early morning, Feng Yun went to the stream to wash up and returned. The morning bonfire had been lit and the copper tripod was set up on the stove.

When Prince Lie saw Feng Yun, he immediately stepped forward and treated him as a disciple.

"Master, eat minced meat in the morning, and wait for the disciples to serve you."

Gongzilie's attitude today is attentive, Feng Yun is awkward, but he also knows the reason.

"Young Master, you don't have to be like this. Yun is just an envoy, and Young Master is the king's direct eldest son."

Needless to say, Gongzi Lie also knew that Feng Yun would leave the court after going on a mission.In this case, Gongzi Lie said sincerely: "Master, you are such a talented person, how can you leave?"

Feng Yun didn't answer.

Young Master Lie was panicked, but there was nothing he could do.

After the minced meat was cooked, he took out some small green leaves from the cloth bag and threw them into it.

When Feng Yun saw it, he looked familiar.

When the young master came to serve the minced meat, Feng Yun tasted it.

"This is tea."

Feng Yun used chopsticks to pick up the tea leaves floating on the minced meat.

"This is tea. There is a miasma of depression in the country of Yue. Drinking some tea can refresh your mind and clear your eyes. Master, it is better to eat some when reading at night."

Feng Yun nodded and ate his morning meal under Gong Zilie's sincere eyes.

After finishing eating, Gongzi Lie wanted to help Feng Yun up, but Feng Yun stopped him.

"I'm not an old man, I don't need you to support me."

Feng Yun returned to the carriage, and Young Master Lie also came in.

"What are you doing?"

Young Master Lie said, "Disciple, I have something to ask."

"Ok."

Not long after, the carriage rumbled and set off again, heading towards the country of Yue.

In the carriage, Young Master Lie took out the "Cooperation Strategy" which he had re-used the best animal skins last night, spread it out and said: "Master, I am confused. In the "Cooperation Strategy", it is said that it unites many small countries, but Why should a small country agree?”

Seeing the sincerity of Young Master Lie, Feng Yun replied: "Go to a small country first. Small countries will naturally be wary and it will naturally be difficult for them to do it."

"If you go to the Wu State first, the Wu State is powerful and has troops stationed in the south. They have already prepared to deal with the Yue State. However, they have no interest in paying tribute to the small countries around them. They just want to wait for the Yue State to invade before taking action. They will gain one more land."

Feng Yun stopped Young Master Lie from asking questions, but continued: "We should send envoys to many countries at the same time, but we need to be slow in choosing a few small countries among them to send envoys to Wu."

"The rest of the small countries need to be quick, and they have to rely on the government regardless of success or failure. They need to wait until several small countries know that the imperial court is sending envoys to negotiate an alliance. They are afraid that if they are a step too late, they will ask for alliance talks."

"When these small countries form an alliance, like streams joining a river, becoming shallower and deeper, and all the other small countries see the wind and change their rudders, then they can talk to Wu with their important envoys. Wu will see that the small countries have become the general trend, and they have to follow the trend, then it can be done. .”

Gongzi Lie used a bronze stick to dip in ink and made concise and comprehensive supplements to "Gong Qi Ce" according to Feng Yun's words.

After waiting for the answer, he asked again: "How to let all the countries know at the same time that Yue is attacking one country?"

Feng Yun replied: "The small country is approaching and uses the thick smoke at the designated place as a signal."

Young Master Lie understood clearly and filled in the blank spaces in the silk book before asking for details.

In this way, after a few days, Gong Zilie has filled in all the unclear points in the "Co-relation". It is so densely packed with small characters that if you read it for the first time, you may feel dizzy.

In this way, Gongzi Lie is satisfied.

But after writing the book, Gongzilie became panic again, because this policy was all made by Feng Yun. Although the details were written down, he was worried that there would be differences when it was actually implemented. Many of them may only be carried out by a thoughtful person like Feng Yun... …

"Master, you are the only one who can do this. Don't leave. I will find an opportunity to send you back home after your mission." In the carriage, Young Master Lie shrank and bowed before Feng Yun.

Feng Yun said: "If you were the great uncle, I might be able to become an official."

Such words made Young Master Lie feel cold in his heart.

"Without you, wouldn't this policy be a piece of waste?" Only then did Gong Zilie understand Feng Yun's mood when he wanted to burn the "Ce for Sharing Together".

Feng Yun shook his head and said: "To the young master, this policy is useless without me, but to Yun, without a monarch willing to implement it, this policy is useless."

Unsolvable theory.

Gongzilie rolled up the silk book and pinned it to his waist. He couldn't bear to leave behind this strategy that he thought could save the court.

Silence and silence...

There is only the sound of carriages churning along the bumpy road...

a long time.

Feng Yun said softly: "The Yue Kingdom is coming soon..."
