Chapter 78: I would rather be Shiwu than lieutenant general

"Xunzi... Qi State is not far away."

"I'll send you here."

Lin Wujun looked into the distance and said with emotion. Once, he thought about fleeing to Qi State. He heard that it was very prosperous and suitable for nobles to live in. Qi State did not hold much grudges. Whether it was Yan or Chu State, he would not be bullied. As long as you carry money, you are a good friend of the people of Qi State. Qi State has many merchants, many rangers, and scholars. Qi State now has many things, but lacks conscientious ministers.

After all, all ministers with conscience were sold to other countries.

Linwujun rode a horse and looked into the distance, but his heart was also confused. Xunzi naturally knew what he was worried about. Sitting in the carriage, he said, "If you go to Chu, you will definitely be unable to escape and die. If you hide in Qi, you may be able to continue to live." The weather was particularly cold. When he spoke, thick fog kept spraying out of his mouth. Linwujun shook his head and said, "I'm going back to Chu."

Although Xunzi was very harsh on him along the way, when he stopped to rest, he taught Linwu Jun a lot of lessons and told many of his own principles. Linwu Jun went from initial resistance to confusion, to heart recognition and face resistance, but only went through a very short time. It was probably because he wanted to find a reason for his courage to die, and he would quietly think about the principles Xunzi told alone.

It is not because the gods do not protect themselves, but because their abilities are not as good as Bai Qi, so they cannot defeat the other party. They are not always inferior to Bai Qi. As long as they can continue to learn, they will sooner or later defeat him. The road of a thousand miles is achieved step by step. Without the accumulation of small steps, it is impossible to complete a journey of a thousand miles. Without accumulating small flowing water, there will be no way to converge into rivers and seas.

This is probably what Lin Wujun remembers the most clearly in the truth mentioned by Xunzi.

"Are you no longer afraid of death?"

Lin Wujun said, "I left Chu alone and left my wife. Although the king did not punish them, he was often humiliated. Even my son did not dare to participate in hunting with others, because no one looked down on him, and I only cared about my life... Alas... After I went back, I told my children what you told me, so that he could study with peace of mind, accumulate ten, twenty, and thirty years, one day, he would avenge the Qin people... and I could also rest in peace."

"I treat the soldiers severely and abandon them in the most dangerous times. I will advise my child that he will definitely not be like me." Lin Wujun said guiltily.

"The dye of indigo is extracted from bluegrass, but it is greener than the color of bluegrass..." Xunzi nodded and said, "I still need you to escort it for another time." Lin Wujun said with a wry smile: "Do you still want me to escort you to Jixia? It's not that I don't want to send you, but that I'm afraid that if I go to Jixia, I won't have the courage to go to Chu State again."

"Please escort me to Chu State." Xunzi said calmly.

Lin Wujun was shocked and asked, "What are you?"

"Over the years, I have been addicted to learning, but I have not applied what I have learned in practice. When I went to Zhao State, I saw what true benevolence and righteousness is. Some people have studied the principles of benevolence and righteousness for decades, but have never done anything benevolence and righteousness. Some people have never picked up bamboo slips about benevolence and righteousness, but everything can reveal their benevolence and righteousness. Benevolence and righteousness are not through words, but through their own actions. This is the truth I am talking about."

"Now the generals treat their soldiers like they drive livestock and viciously treat them like their enemies. They have no sympathy for the captives who have lost their resistance. They do not think about the safety of the people, but only about their own wealth."

"If you did not feel guilty to the soldiers, apologize to your family, and have no courage to die because of atonement, I would not help you. Now that you know your mistakes and are willing to correct them, I want to give more generals in the world who care about others, and I want to save you."

"The King of Chu did not punish your family for your fault. It seems that he is not a cruel monarch either. If I go to Chu State to persuade him, maybe you will be exempted from your death penalty." Xunzi stroked his beard and said seriously.

Lin Wujun stood there and was stunned for a long time.

He suddenly leaned over to Xunzi and bowed.

............

Qing Qin's father was once the deputy general of Le Yi. He followed Le Yi to attack Qi and made countless military achievements. However, no one valued him because of this, and the King of Yan never rewarded him. No matter how many enemies he killed or how many cities he had broken, the credit was ultimately General Le Yi's. His father was nothing. Finally, until Le Yi left, Qing Qin's father had time to be happy, and the cavalry came.

Qi defeated Yan State and died of cavalry. Qing Qin's father was also questioned, but the credit was not received, but the crime was not lost at all.

Before his death, Qing Qin's father pulled Qing Qin and told him that he would rather be the commander than be the deputy general.

Qing Qin entered the army and attacked the Hu people, and made great military achievements. In less than thirty, he had already become a general of Yan State. However, before Qing Qin could be happy, Lejian came. Lejian had no contribution, but he was Leyi's son. In order to bring Leyi back to Yan State, the King of Yan appointed Lejian as the king of Chang and inherited his father's title. Therefore, Qing Qin became Lejian's deputy general.

But until today, Qing Qin understood why his father hated the position of deputy general so much.

When he went to the expedition, he did not compete with Li Fu for the position of general, because Li Fu had a high prestige in Yan State. Li Fu implemented many reforms in Yan State, corrected many disadvantages, and proposed a strategy of conquering the Hu people, expanding the land, and obtaining population, so that Yan State could slowly climb up from the trough. Although the climbing speed was slow, the changes could be seen. Yan State could gather a hundred thousand troops and provide enough food and grass, which was entirely because of Li Fu.

Qing Qin trusted him very much, but this trust disappeared without a trace after entering the territory of Zhao State.

This general did not allow them to kill the people of Zhao, nor even plunder. When the soldiers of Yan went to war, their morale was very low. The plunder in other countries often allowed them to revitalize them and had the motivation to fight, but this gentleman of Qi did not allow it. Forget it, they had to march continuously, completely ignoring the physical strength of the soldiers. You were sitting in a chariot, but the soldiers were running on foot!

When he proposed to lead 50,000 elite troops to defeat Zhao State, he insisted on bringing the soldiers from the newly conquered areas and gathering up 80,000 people, claiming to be 100,000. If there were only tens of thousands of elite troops in Yan State, it would be fine to march quickly, but he would have led these people to march quickly. The success of persuading Qing Qin was more and more missing his father's last words.

And just today, in the Battle of Bai Ren, Li's belly kept changing formations. He held the military book and imitated it with a simple and simple way, completely ignoring whether the soldiers could complete it.

Qing Qin stood on the chariot and saw clearly that the Zhao people had defeated the left-wing army, and the left-wing army was attacking the central army again. The most elite chariots of the central army are now stuck together and in danger! Through several consecutive changes of formations, Li Fu successfully defeated his own chariot troops. The chariots collided and could not turn around, and there were even those who were directly overthrown by their own people. Qing Qin originally led an elite force from Yan State, but now he was stuck by his own people and could not move!

Looking at the central army who were still madly tyrannically using various banners and ordering them to go out, Qing Qin cursed with a gaze. He widened his eyes and stared at the Zhao people in the distance.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the Zhao people seemed to be driving the soldiers of Yan State to attack the central army, but the central army was indifferent to this, and even thought about sending people to surround the army from behind. The Zhao people rushed into the central army, killed the generals and seized the flag. What's the use of you just surrounding them?!

Qing Qin's eyes were so angry that he quickly looked around and immediately came up with a countermeasure.
