Chapter 126 There is a kind of beauty that does not care about the life and death of others
"The weaker states unite to attack the stronger state. Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi all united to attack Qin.

The horizontal strategy is to use one strong country to attack the many weak countries. Qin made friends with the six countries and assisted them in their defense.

It is concise, written and standardized.

The Qin State was indeed like a stick stirring up trouble. Throughout history, Qin State had never refused anyone who asked it to send troops.

Guiguzi nodded unconsciously after hearing this. It was a very rigid understanding, but it was not wrong.

Guiguzi then looked at Gongsun Ce and said, "General Gongsun, please come."

There are only two key points in Guiguzi's theory of diplomacy: game theory and eloquence.

Use eloquence to guide the other party to weigh the pros and cons, and then lead the other party's thinking into the direction set by us.

Han Fei's previous plan of dividing the gold among the three concubines was a manifestation of Guiguzi's theory of diplomacy.

Both the Vertical and Horizontal Alliances were creations of this kind of thinking.

Gongsun Ce spoke eloquently, and Guiguzi nodded slightly. His words were concise and insightful.

This made Guiguzi feel that Gongsun Ce seemed more suitable to be Guiguzi than Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

When Gongsun Ce finished his discussion, Guiguzi suddenly asked a question, "General Gongsun, if there is an iron cage on your left and right hand sides, and there is a hungry tiger in each cage.

Further away on the left and right were two villagers who were tied up in place.

The cages containing the tigers will be opened at the same time, and the extremely hungry tigers will quickly pounce on the villagers and hunt them down.

And at your speed you can only choose to save one villager, what will you choose to do?"

This is the ultimate test question set by Guiguzi for Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang - choice.

Wei Zhuang's choice was to save one person and kill two black tigers.

However, Gai Nie hesitated, so the two villagers died at the tiger's mouth. Although Gai Nie killed two black tigers later, it was of no avail.

Gongsun Ce lit up his golden pupils and looked at Guiguzi. Guiguzi felt the dragon power on Gongsun Ce and couldn't help but smile, "Hahahaha, the best option!"

Guiguzi believes that Gongsun Ce’s answer is not the answer but the optimal solution. He has the ability to subdue two black tigers in an instant, so why choose?

However, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie did not have the ability to subdue the two black tigers immediately, so Guiguzi thought he should continue asking questions.

However, Gongsun Ce spoke first, "Since Guiguzi has already asked me, I should return the favor. Why don't I ask a difficult question and ask Mr. Guiguzi to solve it for me?"

Guiguzi nodded slightly, "General Gongsun, please come in."

Gongsun Ce posed the Warring States version of the trolley problem, "Suppose Mr. Guiguzi is driving a carriage on the official road, and five children playing suddenly appear in front of him.

So Mr. Guiguzi wanted to change the route, and then he found a child playing alone nearby.

You soon realize that the lonely child is isolated because he does not want to take the official path.

It is known that this official road has frequent traffic, and the five children are also aware of this. They took the official road just for the excitement.

At this time, Mr. Guiguzi had no choice but to let the carriage run over the five children, or change lanes and crush a child on the other side.

Mr. Guiguzi, would you rather crush five children to death or crush one child to death?

For modern people, the difficulty of this issue lies in the fact that there are lives on both sides and neither can be abandoned.

Although no matter what choice you make, it makes sense, but just because it makes sense doesn’t mean it’s okay.

But for Guiguzi, it doesn’t matter who is crushed to death, he is thinking about the optimal solution.

Guiguzi's mind raced as he realized that this question was truly a classic one, and that each of the various schools of thought had corresponding options and reasons.

Confucianism chooses to crush one person to death because of benevolence and righteousness, one person against many people, so naturally he is many people; it chooses to crush five people to death because of propriety and trustworthiness, following customs is propriety, and observing propriety is trustworthiness.

The Mohist idea of ​​universal love would equate the existence of five people with the existence of one person, so it would most likely directly overwhelm and crush the five people to death.

For the Legalists, not approaching official roads with heavy traffic is the law. Therefore, the five people violated the law and should be punished, so the Legalists would just suppress them.

The Yin-Yang School advocates the philosophy of unity of opposites and harmony, so people will choose both options.

Military strategists adapt to local conditions and the situation. There will be people who choose both options, but the probability is that they will directly suppress the former...

Each person has his own reasons. There is no standard answer to this kind of question, nor will there be a best answer.

Gongsun Ce saw Guiguzi was lost in thought, so he looked at Song Yu beside him, "I wonder what Mr. Song Yu will choose?"

Song Yu quickly gave the answer, "Don't turn, just run straight into those five people."

"Oh?" Faced with Song Yu's decisiveness, Gongsun Ce was a little surprised, "What is Mr. Song Yu's reason?"

Song Yu's voice was elegant, "It's probably because those five children dare to ignore the conventions now, and they will dare to kill and rob in the future."

Song Yu's theory of sheep eating people made Gongsun Ce silent.

See this sheep? It eats grass now, and it will eat people in the future! Stew it!
However, it is hard to say when it comes to humans.

Human desires are like snow rolling down a mountain, getting bigger and bigger, and finally out of control.

If you are reckless when you are young, you will probably be reckless when you grow up, and it is not surprising that you can do anything.

Guiguzi finished his thinking at this time, "Both are possible, but neither is possible, and it is difficult to get any results. General Gongsun is a man of great talent, and I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as him.

So I ask General Gongsun to be a witness and bring a message to Nie'er and Xiaozhuang. This question is the real last question. Whoever gives the answer first will be the next generation of Guiguzi. "

After Guiguzi finished speaking, he handed the ring representing Guiguzi's token and the Zongheng Sword Manual to Gongsun Ce, and then Guiguzi left in a leisurely manner.

He needs more time to think about this question. Perhaps this question will bother him for a long time because there is never a best answer to this question.

However, Gongsun Ce felt that Guiguzi really loved playing word games. He said that whoever gave the answer first would be Guiguzi.

In other words, just give an answer, there is no need to give the best answer.

After witnessing this question and answer session, Song Yu was also somewhat curious, "I wonder what the choice of General Gongsun is?"

Guiguzi walked away and silently took a few steps back, waiting for Gongsun Ce's answer.

Gongsun Ce smiled and gave a devil-like answer, "First, I'll kill five little bastards, and then I'll take a detour and kill another little bastard."

Song Yu and Guiguzi fell silent at the same time. Their answers were very problematic and could not be considered as answers.

But there is a kind of beauty that doesn't care about the life and death of others.

Gongsun Ce ignored the dazed Song Yu and got on the carriage, "Great Sima Ming, let's go!"

"Yes!"

The carriage started moving and Gongsun Ce returned to Qin. On the way back, Gongsun Ce began to watch the sword manual of Guiguzi's swordsmanship.

It is indeed exquisite, much better than the Eight-Legged Dance in its initial stage.

The carriage was moving slowly on the official road. Da Siming was pulling the carriage, but his steps were so light that no sound could be heard.

Inside the carriage, Gongsun Ce pulled open the side curtain of the carriage, letting the sunlight in.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he flipped through the sword manual page by page. Every word and every picture seemed to contain the mystery of Guiguzi's sword skills.

As he read deeper, Gongsun Ce's right index finger unconsciously began to gesture in the air.

His index finger was like a sharp blade, twirling and circling in the air, cutting through the void, and the air seemed to ripple.

The trajectory of his fingertips gradually took on the shadow of a horizontal sword move, as if an invisible sword was dancing in his hand.

At this moment, the sword hanging on Gongsun Ce's waist, the Tianwen Sword, suddenly began to tremble.

The Tianwen Sword reflected a faint light under the sunlight.

It seemed to sense the excitement in its master's heart, eager to unsheathe its sword and perform exquisite swordsmanship with its master.

However, Gongsun Ce gently pressed down the trembling Tianwen Sword.

He understood that he was still sitting in the carriage and the space around him was small, which was not suitable for swinging a sword.

So Gongsun Ce continued to make sword moves in the air with his index finger.

The carriage continued to move forward and gradually fell into night. Gongsun Ce was unconsciously immersed in the sword moves and did not realize that it was already night.

Gongsun Ce had an extraordinary memory and had memorized the sword manual in his mind, so naturally he didn't need to practice each move according to the manual.

Gongsun Ce's heart was like a ignited flame, burning brighter and brighter.

Which teenager has not experienced middle school and yearned to acquire peerless magical skills?

Although the Word Spirit is strong enough, Gongsun Ce also wants to try killing people with pure swordsmanship.

Gongsun Ce stopped gesturing. He then noticed that it was already dark, so he gave an order to the Great God of Destiny, "Pull the car aside and stop it!"

The Great God of Destiny stopped pulling the cart. His wisdom was limited, so the orders had to be accurate, otherwise he would easily make trouble.

Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King

Gongsun Ce got off the carriage and waved his hand. A breeze swept through the grass and brought back a lot of branches for Gongsun Ce.

Then Gongsun Ce lit the branches and told the Great God of Destiny to go hunting, "Go catch three rabbits and a deer."

Da Siming nodded, got on all fours, sniffed the ground, then his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

After the Great God of Destiny left, Gongsun Ce slowly drew out the Tianwen Sword.

Under the firelight, the blade of the Tianwen Sword flickered as Gongsun Ce used his power to penetrate all four directions.

This four-style sword technique is a unique skill created by Guiguzi.

Each move contains profound martial arts attainments and infinite ways of change.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce moved, and the Tianwen Sword turned into a silver-white light, instantly cutting through the void and sweeping in all directions.

In the first move, the Tianwen sword in Gongsun Ce's hand was erratic, like catkins in the wind, hard to grasp.

The Tianwen Sword turned into a breeze in his hand, changing in many ways.

Whether it's a straight stab, a horizontal sweep, a chop, or a poke, every change of sword moves is accompanied by a burst of fierce sword energy.

The second move, the Heavenly Question Sword turned into a flash of lightning, drawing dazzling tracks in the void. This sword move was extremely swift, with the power of thunder, and was unstoppable.

Whenever Gongsun Ce swung his sword, there was always a buzzing sound, and wherever the tip of the sword pointed, it seemed as if thousands of thunders were crashing down.
