Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

"Didn't it mean that this was a bet between him and Xiang Yan? Why did he come here?"

"The beauty next to him is..."

"Such a beauty is worth it!"

"Gao Jing is also a man of temperament..."

"..."

Ignoring the surrounding discussions, Gao Jing walked to the front with his arms around the startled salamander.

The stands have already been arranged here, and it is the position with the best view. Looking down at a glance, you can have a panoramic view of the entire plain.

Such a good position is naturally arranged for the witnesses, and the others have no objection to this.

It is impossible for King Wei to leave Wei State easily.

The one who came was the Crown Prince of Wei State, who was already sitting in front of the desk at this time, and beside him, there was a... man with an unmistakable appearance?

Wearing a bright red gown, with delicate eyebrows, thin and pink lips, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes... If it weren't for the slightly undulating Adam's apple on the neck, Gao Jing really wouldn't be able to tell whether the other party was a man or a woman!

Gao Jing sized him up curiously, then let go of his startled salamander, saluted Prince Wei, and said with a smile, "The prince is here early!"

"Mr. Gao Jing."

The prince smirked and got up to return the salute, saying: "How can you not come as a witness alone for such a grand event?"

After finishing speaking, he turned sideways and introduced: "This is Lord Longyang of our Wei Kingdom. My father is not good at doing things, so I entrust Lord Longyang to witness on my behalf!"

Sure enough it was him!

Gao Jing saluted with a smile, "Gao Jing has met Lord Longyang."

Mr. Longyang has been sizing up Gao Jing since just now, and only now he replied: "The world often says that Gao Jing is lustful, but now Mr. Guan has clear eyes, and his manner is free and easy but still polite... Maybe the rumors don't match? "

Longyang Jun's mulberry sound is very peculiar, it is difficult to distinguish between male and female, and it is not neutral, but it is very clear and pleasant.

Gao Jing smiled, put his arms around the slender waist of the startled salamander, walked over and sat down slumped, and said with a smile, "Why did Lord Longyang say that?"

Long Yangjun looked at Gao Jing with his long and narrow eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "I am just suspicious, Mr. is using the name of lust to cover up something..."

Gao Jing said seriously: "Mr. Longyang knows that it is true that Gao Jing likes beautiful women!"

As he spoke, he probed and kissed the pink cheek of the startled salamander.

The startled salamander didn't dodge, just smiled slightly, stretched out his white wrist and poured wine for Gao Jing.

"It really is an alluring beauty!"

After staring at the startled salamander for a while, Mr. Longyang said: "I believe that Mr. really likes beauty, but for beauty, if you gamble with others, the bet is still the city...

Although this gentleman met Mr. for the first time, but this gentleman asked himself that he has the ability to know people, Mr. is not such a person! "

"Yes or not, is it important?"

Gao Jing leaned on the startled salamander's shoulder, held the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Lord Longyang served you with sex, but I have never seen Lord Longyang defend himself."

Lord Longyang said calmly: "But I really serve my king because of her beauty!"

"Ha ha!"

Gao Jing suddenly put aside Lord Longyang, and said to the startled salamander: "It is said that Lord Longyang fished with the king of Wei, and after fishing a dozen or so, Lord Longyang began to cry.

Wei Wang asked him why he was crying?Long Yangjun said that he was very happy when he first started fishing, but the ones he caught got bigger and bigger and he let go of the ones in front of him.I serve the king with my beauty, and make the beauties in the world jealous. They will swarm here like these fish, and they will become more and more beautiful.

So the king of Wei ordered not to say that there are beauties in the country. "

With a little doubt on his face, the startled salamander paused and said, "Longyang Jun doesn't seem to be such a person!"

"Hahaha!"

Gao Jing laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Longyang, how is my mermaid's ability to recognize people better than yours?"

Longyang Jun looked at the startled salamander curiously, and said: "My lady and I have never met before, why would my lady say such things?"

The startled salamander hesitated, and said, "Feeling!"

Lord Longyang: "..."

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Good answer! There is another version of this legend: Lord Longyang persuaded King Wei that this fish is just like a beauty. If there is a beautiful one, there will be more beautiful ones, and then the previous ones will be more beautiful." Abandoned... If things go on like this, the whole country will send beauties to confuse the king.

So the king of Wei ordered that the whole country not be allowed to send beauties here.

Which do you think is true? "

The startled salamander said affirmatively, "The second one!"

Long Yangjun asked tentatively: "Is it a feeling again?"

The startled salamander nodded.

Jun Longyang said dumbfoundedly: "It seems that the girl is not only beautiful, but also has a heart to know people."

Gao Jing also laughed and said, "The same is true for Lord Longyang!"

The two looked at each other, and after a while they both laughed, raised the wine bottles in their hands, and drank each other.

Chapter 190 Gambling

The two sides drink a bottle.

Gao Jing put down the wine bottle, let the startled salamander pour the wine for him, and at the same time said to her: "Although Mr. Longyang is famous for his beauty, his talent has surpassed all the officials in the court of Wei!

During his tenure as foreign minister, he made eleven missions to other countries, including three missions to Qin, and every time he went as a mission, he was able to complete the mission perfectly!

When serving the King of Wei, he was able to constantly persuade the King... If not for this, Lord Xinling would not have recommended him~to the King of Wei! "

Hearing Mr. Xinling's name, he froze for a moment.

Gao Jing smiled, and added: "By the way, Lord Longyang is still the number one swordsman in the Wei Kingdom! This is what the Mohist giant himself admitted."

Mr. Longyang smiled and said: "Sir, it's really overrated...but sir, you don't go to lead the army to fight, but you come here, I don't know why?"

Gao Jing said casually, "I don't need to command this battle."

Longyang Jun's eyes narrowed slightly: "Sir, are you so confident?"

"Prince, Lord Longyang, just wait and watch!"

……

Gambling is a battle of faith!

That is to say, the method of fighting in the Spring and Autumn Period was adopted.

Since the wars of various countries, especially after Sun Wu yelled the phrase "Soldiers are deceitful", the war has moved in the direction of "using everything to the extreme".

But the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period were upright.

Before starting the battle, the two sides must first inform the other party, agree on the battle location, the number of chariots and soldiers to be led, and then set up a battle in an upright manner.

Even when setting up camp, it was done in front of the other party, shining brightly.

Even prisoners of war are particular.

For example, if a big nobleman of the enemy is surrounded, a small nobleman is not qualified to capture him. Only a big nobleman with equal status can come forward, respectfully offer a piece of beautiful jade, and invite him to his home as a guest—that is, a prisoner.

The ransom paid at that time was nominally used to buy this piece of jade.

The reason is that at that time countries were fighting a "battle for hegemony"!

The main purpose is to conquer the opponent and let the opponent recognize its own strength, so it is called "conquest".

"Conquest" means to obtain contributions, conquer the opponent, and force the loser to pay tribute and wait for dispatch every year.

In short, during the Spring and Autumn Period, countries fought wars for the sake of international status, not for the destruction of the country.

……

As time got closer and closer, one party finally appeared first.

Everyone on the high hill gathered quickly and looked up into the distance.

A dark mass is coming from a distance, looking at the direction, it is Xiang Yan's side.

When they got closer, everyone could see clearly that they were all wearing the armor of the Chu State, carrying the banners of the Xiang clan, and there was a chariot with a "Swallow" flag on it.

Gambling is not a formal national war, and the chariot can only be used as a command, and cannot be put into the battlefield.

So Xiang Yan only brought one chariot, and he himself stood on the chariot.

The positions of the two sides have long been divided on the plain.

After Xiang Yan arrived at the position with his own troops, several army Sima began to run around in the crowd, and the scolding could be heard even on the high hill.

"Quickly arrange the formation!"

"Check your weapons!"

"..."

After the 3 people checked their weapons and arranged their formations, more than half an hour had passed.

Gao Jing couldn't help curling his lips, soldiers of this era are like this.

Prince Wei on the side praised, "You can set up the formation so quickly...I never thought that Xiang Yan would have such an elite soldier!"

Lord Longyang said: "It must be a soldier from the Xiang clan!"

The people around were also full of praise, and praised Xiang Yan's speed in mobilizing the army and his ability to manage the army.

Many people also looked at Gao Jing, as if they wanted to find some guilty conscience from Gao Jing's face.

It's just that Gao Jing is still leaning on the startled salamander, drinking the wine casually, showing no sign of worry.

Prince Wei couldn't help but asked: "Sir, where is your Yingchuan Army?"

Gao Jing smiled and said, "Prince, don't worry, they will come right away."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·???????????????

Lord Longyang stared at Gao Jing and said, "If the Yingchuan army arrives late, Xiang Yan takes advantage of the instability of the army and launches an attack, what do you think?"

Gao Jing said casually: "It's still effective!"

Lord Longyang nodded, and whispered something to the attendant beside him.
