Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 32 Peerless Art of War

Friends: Is there another name for the brush?I believe that there will not be too many friends who can answer accurately. Generally speaking, we think that brushes are as common as brushes. If you put a pinch of hair in a tube, what other name can it have?The answer is yes.

What are the other names of brushes?The eight-body scholar is one of them. (Note: There are many nicknames for brushes: Longxuyou, Bati Scholar, Rouhan, Shixiangzhi, Qiaoxuan Baosao, Mao Yi, Xianfeng, Mao Wenfeng, Mao Yuanrui, Maosheng, Xuanhao, Tongguan, Guanchengzi , Guan Ziwen, Lacquer Guan, Su Guan, Yue Guan, Hao Zhuo, Wen Wen Huo, Jian Tou Nu, Mao Zhui Zi, Pei A, Chang Hua, Captain Zang Feng, Zhong Shu Ling, Guan Cheng Hou, General Wen Han, these are all Another name for the brush, the difference is only elegant and inelegant.)
Zhou Chong never expected that such an expert as Wei Liao would call the brush another name in excitement, so he didn't expect it, and he didn't remember it until Wang Ao took out the brush.

The performance of the two masters and apprentices is really speechless. One is called the eight-body scholar to wait, and the other sings to the corresponding eight-body scholar. If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, Zhou Chong would never believe Gao People like them actually have such a joking feeling, which also shows that the master and apprentice are really in a good mood.

Infected by Zhou Chong, he half sang and half said, "There are only scholars, but Mr. Shi is not seen. Mister's masterpiece is safe?"

"Mr. Shi? Who is the expert? Mr. Zhou, can you introduce him to Liaozi?" Wei Liao couldn't figure it out, so he cupped his fists at Zhou Chong and said, "Mr. Shi must be extraordinary if he can be praised by Mr. See, Liaozi must be happy for the rest of his life."

Zhou Chong nodded and said: "What you said is very true. Mr. Shi is indeed extraordinary. You should see Mr. Shi." He chanted, "Beidou eats and conceives Mr. Shi, and he is busy with Tengchang Wen. Mr. Liaozi, where is Mr. Shi?"

This is a charade, Wang Ao couldn't figure it out, he was very confused, he saluted and said: "Shi Jun is here, please tell me clearly?"

Wei Liao frowned, stroked his beard and laughed, and said, "Miao Miao Miao. I invite Mr. Shi."

Zhou Chong had to admire Wei Liao's quick response. These two poems were from Wang Jixiang's "Seven Star Inkstone" in the Qing Dynasty, and they were about the Seven Star Inkstone.As soon as Zhou Chong chanted, Wei Liao understood immediately.Wang Ao was far behind Wei Liao, with a confused look on his face, he still didn't understand what Shi Jun was, and said: "Disciple is stupid, sir, can you explain it clearly?"

Wei Liao picked up the brush, hung it in the air, and made a gesture of full ink, looking at Wang Ao with a smile and saying nothing.Wang Ao is also a quick-witted person. He was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Mr. Shi is the inkstone. He slapped his forehead and laughed loudly, "Good Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi!" He saluted Zhou and said, "Thank you, Mr. Reminder, Wang Ao was so happy that he was so confused that he forgot to invite Mr. Shi." Turning around and running, he rushed into the Banxianju, and when he came out, he not only had an inkstone, but also a calligraphy.

Wang Ao put the inkstone and ink on the stone, and for a while, the four treasures of the study, brush, ink, paper and inkstone, gathered together. In the words we are familiar with, "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", and Wei Liao was the only one left to write.

Zhou Chong smoothed his sleeves and said: "Sir, meditate, Zhou Chong studies ink."

Wei Liao didn't refuse, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhou." He no longer called Mr. Zhou Chong, but Brother Zhou, because the distance between him and Zhou Chong had become smaller, and they were very affectionate with each other. up.

"Brother Wei, you don't need to say thank you for your help." Zhou Chong was also happy to be recognized by such an expert as Wei Liao.

Wang Ao picked up the inkstone and said: "Brother Zhou grinds ink, and disciple fetches water." As soon as the words came out, he said, "My disciple is arrogant and impolite. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou."

He was happy to become brothers with Zhou Chong, and immediately thought that Zhou Chong and Wei Liao called brothers, and he would be a generation shorter, so he apologized.Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Brother Wang is serious, we each go our own way. Brother Wei and I are called brothers, and you and I are also called brothers." Wang Ao is also a scholar, although he is not as good as Wei Liao, he is also It's very good, if you can match up with brothers and make friends, it will be a great joy in life.

Wang Ao didn't dare to respond, and said: "With the gentleman above, my disciples dare not presume."

Although Wei Liao and Wang Ao were named as masters and apprentices, they were in fact teachers and friends, and they were partners. They worked together perfectly and accomplished many great things in history. Wei Liao didn't completely regard him as a disciple, so he smiled slightly and said: "Zhou Brother is so kind, you don't have to refuse."

"Mr. Xie." Wang Ao said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou." Taking the inkstone, he went to the valley to fetch clean water.Zhou Chong picked up the ink and began to grind it.

The mood of the three of them is not calm at this time, it can be said that they are very agitated.For Zhou Chong, he never imagined that the book "Wei Liao Zi", which has been around for thousands of years, would have his own participation. With his own help, he began to gather at the end of the pen and researched the ink himself. It is a great honor. .If future generations talk about this matter, it will definitely be used as a good story. To paraphrase Sima Qian's praise of Sun Wu for helping Helu create a hegemony, it is the success of "Wei Liaozi".

What Wei Liao has learned in his life is mainly in the art of war, and he is about to gather what he has learned all his life, and his emotions are so exciting, needless to say, his friends also understand.

Wang Ao looked at Zhou Chong Yanmo with expectant eyes, Zhou Chong understood what he meant, he wanted to see Wei Liao's masterpiece and then hurry up.This is also human nature. A convincing gentleman is about to appear with his life's work. As a disciple, can he not want to see it quickly?

Not to mention that Wang Ao is looking forward to it, even Zhou Chong is also looking forward to seeing what is going on, to see if the current "Wei Liao Zi" is the same as the "Wei Liao Zi" in history, and if there is a difference, where is the difference.

Once Zhou Chong finished grinding the ink, Wei Liao stretched out the brush to the inkstone, ready to fill up the thick ink and write a thousand words.Unexpectedly, the brush was pushed away by Zhou Chong, Wei Liao was a little puzzled, and asked: "Brother Zhou, why is this?"

Zhou Chong cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Brother Wei, I have a request, please allow it."

Wei Liao was a little curious, and asked: "Brother Zhou, please tell me, if Liaozi can help, I will definitely help Brother Zhou."

"Then thank you, Brother Wei. Brother Wei's request is nothing more than a piece of cake for Brother Wei." Zhou Chong went straight to the point and said, "I want to ask Brother Wei to write a copy for me after the book is completed. Brother, don't I have no other intentions, I just want to collect it as a testimony of our acquaintance and friendship."

If Wei Liao's authentic work appeared in modern times, it would definitely cause a sensation. It is a priceless national treasure. It was not of such great value at that time, at least it still had collection value.It would be a huge temptation for anyone to get the Art of War written by Wei Liao himself.

Wei Liao responded briskly: "The success of Liaozi's book is due to Brother Zhou's strength. Liaozi's worries can't be repaid. Brother Zhou doesn't think that Liaozi's talent is ignorant. If he values ​​Liaozi's book so much, Liaozi dare not do his best."

"Then thank you, Brother Wei. Brother Wei, please." Zhou Chong cupped his hands in thanks.

Wei Liao didn't speak any more, he drenched himself in thick ink, swiped his pen with his wrist hanging on the paper, and the pen moved like a snake, and a line of calligraphy appeared vividly on the paper.Zhou Chong understood why he wanted to use Zhenshu instead of Wei characters. It was because Qin State used Zhenshu at that time, which is what we call Dazhuan now, and it was for the convenience of the King of Qin to read.

Wei Liao restrained his spirit and let it go down in one go.It's a pity that there were several mournful howls of wolves, and Wei Liao bowed his head and said, "What is so noisy? Drive him away!"

Zhou Chong looked at the writing brush in Wei Liao's hand, and thought, "Where is this writing brush of yours? , the two left together.There was only Yu Weiliao on the stone, under the sunlight, a long shadow was cast on the ground, and the shadow of his right hand kept waving.
