The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 873: A Just Cause [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

Heguanzi thought about it and realized that he had never thought about his own title of Zhenjun Immortal.

In the past, he thought that having just one disciple was enough for him to go down in history, especially since he also had a disciple named Pang Nuan, who could make him even more famous.

I never thought that now I would skip the title of Gong and directly be given the title of Zhenjun Xian.

For example, Bei Mingzi, although he was called Bei Mingzi, in fact, more often when talking about Bei Mingzi, the various schools of thought would also call him Bei Ming Gong, just like He Shang Gong.

"Your Majesty is a disciple of Confucianism and is recognized as a great Confucian scholar in the world today. How about Your Majesty help me choose an immortal name?"

Brown Crown suggested with a smile.

"How about the Moral Master?"

Yan Yan smiled and joked.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Brown Crowned Man waved his hands hurriedly, this was a threat to his life.

The power behind the word "morality" is so great that it is usually attributed to Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism. However, Lao Tzu's contribution to Taoism is so great that even the word "morality" is not enough to describe him.

But after Laozi, who dared to add the words "morality" and "virtue" as the title of the Taoist Lord?

If he dares to use the word "morality" as his Taoist name, he must be careful at all times to avoid being killed by Taoists when he goes out.

But after Yan Yan said this, he also had to think carefully about his own title of True Lord Immortal.

Ying Qushui didn't care. He didn't need to think about it specifically. His name alone could be his immortal name.

Qushui may not be very famous, and not many people outside the Qin State know about it.

But because of him, Qushui also became famous all over the world.

You may not know where Qushui is, but you must have heard of Qushui Sword Immortal.

Yan Yan invited He Guanzi not only because of his reputation and strength as an immortal. Compared with these, Yan Yan cared more about He Guanzi's works.

"Heguanzi" is regarded as the treasure of the Zi section in the Sikuquanshu summarized and compiled by later generations.

This book is also one of the most important Taoist classics. It is based on the Taoist Huang-Lao school. Like Lü Buwei's "Lüshi Chunqiu", it also blends the teachings of hundreds of schools into one, including the theories of criminal law, Taoism, the list of people, yin and yang, mathematics, and military science. Its text is extensive and grand.

The biggest difference from the Taoist's traditional natural law is that this book also involves military tactics.

Therefore, even if Heguanzi didn't mention it himself, Yan Yan would still invite Heguanzi.

After all, a Taoist classic that incorporates military strategies is more in line with Bingzhou.

Although Anqisheng was a master of Huang family and could use heavy weapons, he himself was still lacking in military skills.

The addition of Heiguanzi can also make up for and improve the shortcomings of Huang-Lao school of thought.

When Yan Yan asked Heguanzi to donate his compiled works to Bingzhou, Heguanzi finally realized what kind of trap he had fallen into.

But Brown Crown did not refuse.

Being able to popularize one's own theories is what every author hopes for.

Even after seeing the scenery and military strength of Bingzhou, Heguanzi still felt that his work still needed to be revised and supplemented.

After realizing that they had made a big mistake and resolved the Taoist crisis, Xiong Qi, Wei Ju and his party discussed many issues regarding the joint exploration of the three overseas mountains with Bingzhou, and then they left Bingzhou and returned to Xianyang.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to meet the eldest young master!" Xiong Qi sighed.

It seemed like he had only seen his adopted nephew a few times since he was a child.

He also wanted to meet Fusu and let Ying Qushui see if Fusu had a talent for martial arts.

Unfortunately, Fusu was not in Beiye Royal City, but followed the Chiyan Cavalry to Wuwei to recruit his own cavalry.

In fact, according to Xiong Qi, Yan Yan was still too harsh on Fusu.

With Fusu's status, he could have any kind of escort he wanted. If he were in Qin, he could give his own Shijing swordsman to Fusu as an escort to protect his safety.

After all, compared with other princes of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu is his blood-related nephew.

On the other side, Fusu also followed the Chiyan Cavalry on their journey back to Bingzhou and to the Chiyan Cavalry’s base.

It is extremely easy for the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to recruit escort cavalry in the Wuwei area. After that, they will raise the flag and some cavalry will join with their own equipment.

However, relatively speaking, the requirements for recruiting escort cavalry for the Red Flame Cavalry and the Imperial Guard are higher, and not everyone can join.

Fusu only recruited five cavalry followers and no more.

"Zilong, if we go to the Red Flame Cavalry, will there be a chance to meet His Majesty?"

Colleagues also asked curiously.

They all knew that the Red Flame Cavalry was preparing to go to war.

According to convention, when the army goes out to war, Yan Yan will also appear to swear an oath to the troops.

"It's highly likely that I won't see him!" Fusu shook his head.

If it were in the past, Yan Yan would definitely appear in a major war like the one to destroy the Donghu, and even lead the troops personally.

But now Bingzhou is no longer the weak state it once was when it needed to mobilize the entire country to face a large tribe on the grassland.

A war like the one to destroy the Donghu may seem huge, but Bingzhou now only needs to draw troops from the Red Flame Cavalry and some garrisons in the eastern part of Bingzhou.

The main generals leading the troops were the Internal Secretary Meng Tian and the vanguard general Han Xin, the commander of the Red Flame Cavalry. None of the other top generals of the National Guard were dispatched.

The Yulin Guards were not transferred either.

This is the confidence of Bingzhou today.

As for the Donghu, do they dare to resist?

dare not!

Bingzhou sent out the Red Flame Cavalry, the Red Flame Cavalry of 30,000 who completely wiped out more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry, which was another nightmare for the Donghu after the Blood Cavalry of Bingzhou.

Of course, this does not mean that the Donghu had no intention of resisting. After all, it was a war to annihilate their country, and the powerful people of the Donghu would not just surrender.

"Don't think too much. We are just going there to gain military merit. The really tough and difficult battles will not be given to you bunch of greenhorns. The veterans of the Red Flame Cavalry are the main force in this battle!" The veteran leader said with a smile.

No matter how much they underestimated the Donghu, they would never send a group of new recruits to fight to the death with the elite troops of the Donghu.

At the Red Flame Cavalry's base, in Danlin City, Meng Tian had already mobilized troops from several garrisons in the east and was just waiting for all the troops to gather.

As for the reason for the war...

I haven’t thought about it yet, and I haven’t thought about Beiye Royal City either.

Therefore, what worries Meng Tian and Han Xin the most is not how to fight this battle, but how to justify their actions!

"The Donghu are so spineless!" Han Xin was a little angry.

They thought of many ways to provoke trouble.

For example, when the Donghu herdsmen crossed the border to roam, the Donghu directly gave that piece of grassland to Bingzhou without giving Bingzhou any excuse.

"What does the Military Control Commission say?" Meng Tian frowned.

When the Bingzhou army went on an expedition, intelligence was of utmost importance. The Military Control Commission was independent of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was responsible for collecting military intelligence. It was also good at causing sabotage within the enemy.

"According to the commander of the Military Control Commission, they are planning something big to give us a legitimate reason to march out!"

Han Xin said seriously.

However, the Military Control Commission was not under their jurisdiction, so they could not ask too many questions.
