Chapter 87 Lip balm and lip balm

Gongsun Ce first took out a piece of bronze fragment, then took out the map made of parchment, then took out a bamboo slip, and then took out a piece of silk.

Gongsun Ce pointed at the four objects in front of him and asked Chunyu Yue, "Mr. Chunyu, which of these four objects do you think is suitable for recording text?"

Chunyu Yue picked up the bamboo slips and said, "Of course it is a bamboo slip."

Gongsun Ce asked back, "Why?"

"Bronze inscriptions are difficult to carve freely, writing on parchment is difficult to preserve and difficult to produce, silk is expensive, and bamboo slips are relatively simple to produce and moderately expensive."

Gongsun Ce continued to ask, "But the ancients used bronze inscriptions to record events. Why don't we continue to use bronze inscriptions now? This is the method of the ancients and cannot be changed."

Chun Yuyue was speechless. "How can the two be compared? The Central Plains is vast. How can we manage it if we don't implement the feudal system?"

"Hundreds of years ago, there were more than a hundred vassal states, but now there are only seven left. Are the seven states having difficulty managing the land under their rule?"

"This……"

Chunyu Yue was unable to refute for a while, and Gongsun Ce took advantage of the victory to pursue, "More than a hundred vassal states were reduced to seven countries, which was not a problem, let alone seven countries becoming one country."

"Sophistry! What's more, the seven kingdoms are still fighting each other and the feudal system is still in place. Your abolition of the feudal system is wishful thinking!"

Gongsun Ce shrugged, "We'll wait and see."

Chun Yuyue's face suddenly turned blue and purple, and then Chun Yuyue actually ignored Xunzi's presence and left with his sleeves swung, "You boy are not worthy of being my advisor!"

"The future of Jixia Academy is worrying, Doctor Chunyu."

Chunyu Yue left quickly without stopping.

Wang Ben came to sit opposite Gongsun Ce and said, "Mr. Gongsun, the king has said that you will be welcomed to Qin soon."

Gongsun Ce nodded and returned the greeting, "Please."

There were very few ways to become an official in this era, and the most prestigious way to enter the government was naturally to be recruited by the ruler of a country himself.

Gongsun Ce began to wonder whether Lü Buwei was old enough. This year was the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin, 238 BC, and Lü Buwei was already years old.

It is said that after Lu Buwei turned fifty, he continued to hold his invisible birthday banquet.

He would not send out invitations, but on his birthday, Qin officials would spontaneously go to his mansion to celebrate his birthday and present him with generous gifts.

This was his way of selecting officials who were loyal to him, and it also demonstrated his power over the government and the public.

Lu Buwei: I can choose not to invite you, but you cannot not come!

Wang Ben began to ask questions, "The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy, what is the solution?"

"The Art of War by Sun Tzu says: 'The best military operation is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, the next best is to attack their troops, and the worst is to attack their cities.'

Simply put, Sun Tzu believed that winning by trickery was the best strategy.

King Zhao intended to re-employ General Lian Po, so he sent an envoy to General Lian Po's home.

However, Guo Kai had a grudge against General Lian Po, so he naturally did not want General Lian Po to return to Zhao State. So Guo Kai bribed the envoy of Zhao State.

When the Zhao envoy met General Lian Po, General Lian Po demonstrated how he put on armor, mounted his horse, drew his bow and shot an arrow... All of these showed that General Lian Po was still strong despite his old age.

Finally, General Lian Po ate a lot of rice, wine and meat in front of the envoys from Zhao State.

After the Zhao envoy returned to Zhao, in addition to truthfully reporting the situation of General Lian Po to King Zhao, he also added a sentence, "three arrows were left behind in a short time."

So the King of Zhao gave up on recalling General Lian Po."

As Wang Jian's eldest son, Wang Ben naturally knew how to grasp the key points. The biggest problem facing Qin's attack on Zhao was still Li Mu.

Li Mu advocates weak defense and strong attack, combining offense and defense, defending for the sake of attack, and defending in offense. Wang Jian advocates knowing yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. He is a ruthless person who likes to push forward.

Wang Jian's style actually restrains Li Mu, but Li Mu himself has strong defensive abilities.

If two people lead the troops into battle, it will inevitably be a protracted war, and God knows how long it will take to determine the winner.

Wang Ben understood Gongsun Ce's hint and decided to repeat his old trick, using Guo Kai to gank Li Mu, and then marched straight into Zhao State and captured it.

On the surface, Gongsun Ce just told a story, and then Wang Ben directly performed a great salute - prostrating himself on the ground with his whole body.

"Sir, you are a man of great talent. I am ashamed to say that I am not as talented as you."

Gongsun Ce still responded with an unfathomable smile.

Soon, Gai Nie replaced Wang Ben and sat opposite Gongsun Ce. "Tongming, there is no need for us to perform formalities. Let me ask you, if the seven kingdoms unite, what should the strategists do?"

Gongsun Ce asked Gai Nie, "If I ask you to go to the Qiang and Di tribes and use words to incite the two tribes to fight to the death, are you sure?"

Gai Nie thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."

Among this group of people, Gai Nie was the easiest to fool, which was something Gongsun Ce had not expected.

The next one is the Six-Fingered Black Knight. The Six-Fingered Black Knight’s question is the most interesting one among these people. “The Five Vermin says: ‘The knight breaks the law with force’, what does that mean?”

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was asking about Mo Xia's future. After listening for a while, it was not difficult for him to find that several people present more or less believed that the future would be a unified pattern.

Qin Mo's lineage has already been integrated into the Qin State, so there is naturally no need to worry.

As long as Qi Mo's school of thought continues to engage in debates and works hard to maintain the status quo, it is still possible.

Only the Chu Mo lineage is basically made up of Mo Xia (high-level rangers).

The Six-Fingered Black Knight actually knew that the war among countries created the reputation of the Black Knight.

If the world is unified, what will be the future of Mo Xia? As the leader of Mo Xia, Six-Fingered Black Xia said that he couldn't see clearly, it was too difficult! He couldn't do this question...

(There should be background music here: snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling, and the world is filled with…)
"When Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao, a comet hit the moon.

When Nie Zheng assassinated Han Kui, a white rainbow pierced the sun.

When Yaoli was trying to assassinate Qingji, a cang eagle was shot down from above the palace. "

Gongsun Ce spread his hands and said, "Six-fingered Black Knight, do you think that even if the seven kingdoms are at war, the monarchs of the seven kingdoms can tolerate the rangers?
And you, the Mo Xia, all claim to uphold justice and have firm beliefs. Once you want to carry out an assassination, won’t that be even more troublesome?
Separating the underworld from the government is the best approach at the moment."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was silent. He was a little broken in defense. After all, the Mo Knight lineage did not become rangers just for the sake of becoming rangers.

Mohist heroes are essentially a branch of the Mohist school of thought, and their main purpose is to promote the doctrine.

The six-fingered black hero laughed at himself, "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun, for clearing up my confusion."

He naturally would not give up, he would still seek the way for Mo Xia to survive and develop.

But the moment the Six-Fingered Black Knight stood up, Gongsun Ce felt that his spine was not as straight as before.

However, Gongsun Ce obviously doesn't care about the loneliness of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, because the next big show is the finale - Chisongzi.

After Chunyu Yue left the table, news of what had happened inside the Jixia Academy spread quietly.

When taken with Gongsun Ce's "Sex No Matter", Gongsun Ce's reputation began to soar in an instant.

As soon as Chisongzi sat down, he could not help but look Gongsun Ce up and down, "Congratulations, Mr. Gongsun, for getting what you wished for."
