In a peaceful tone, he tactfully expressed the words that were actually hidden in the face of his fingers. The most incredible thing is that the face of this man did not stir from beginning to end. This is the impression of Song Wang Yan's "dispute" of Meng Zhong.

In Hui'an's view, his brother Meng Zhong's "dispute" just now seems to be a matter of Taoism. It is between the two famous schools: Taoist debate advocates "convincing people with reason", that is, using the simplest reason to convince opponents; while famous schools pay too much attention to "debate victory", and some words may actually make no sense, but you are speechless.

Take Meng Zhong’s “thinking” to counter Qiu He was actually unreasonable, but at first glance, it makes people feel: Hey, it seems to make some sense.

This is the debate of famous scholars. In fact, if you calm down and think about it carefully, it will not be difficult to find out the loopholes.

After a while, Qiu He came to his senses and asked Meng Zhong: "You are so rude. You are not King Song, so how can you know what King Song is thinking?"

Meng Zhong immediately replied calmly: "Doctor Qiu is not a boy, so how can I know that I don't know the king's mind?"

"Oh."

Hui Ang couldn't help laughing.

He was Huishi's nephew and was close to Zhuangzi. Of course, he knew that the "Haoliang Debate" occurred between Huishi and Zhuangzi. Not only did he know, but Song Wangyan also knew, so both of them couldn't help but smile a few times.

To be honest, Qiu He is not an important minister of King Zhao who is famous for his eloquence, but being able to force such an important minister of Zhao to this extent shows the talent of Meng Zhong, a disciple of Zhuangzi, in "verbalism".

Perhaps because he felt that the debate with Meng Zhong was quite priceless, Qiu He raised his hand and made a stopping action, saying to Meng Zhong: "In the lower level, Huizi, Zhuangzi's two masters are good at eloquence. The younger brother is Master Zhuang's disciple. He learned Huizi's writings and is naturally good at eloquence. He is willing to give up the disadvantage... He just wonders, Zhuangzi is also a native of Song. Don't he want Song to become stronger?"

Hearing this, Meng Zhong said calmly: "By this sentence alone, I know that the hatred does not understand the Master. The Master is the 'people who seeks the Tao', and pursues the ultimate Tao of heaven and earth. Under the Tao of heaven, there are all ordinary people, and there is no distinction between national boundaries. In the eyes of the Master, there are only two types of people, namely those who have attained Tao and those who have lost Tao. They do not stagnate in things, and wander in the harmony of virtues, and can only be free and easy."

“…”

Qiu He pursed his lips and said nothing.

To be honest, he really didn't understand what Meng Zhong said last.

This is very embarrassing. It seems that someone has been taught a lesson, but I don’t know what the other party is saying, so I can’t refute it.

In fact, it was not just him, let alone Wang Yan of Song, even Hui Ann did not understand very well. After all, Hui Ann learned too much, including Taoism, name, Confucianism, Law, Mo, etc., but he did not have time to study Taoist ideas in depth, unlike Meng Zhong who had Zhuangzi teaching and answering questions.

Of course, although I did not understand Meng Zhong's last sentence, Qiu He could still understand the general meaning of the latter's whole paragraph, that is, Zhuangzi had a high level of thought and was too lazy to participate in the struggles in the world.

So he asked Meng Zhong: "Since Master Zhuang himself is unwilling to participate in the world's struggles, and as his disciple, you serve in the army, is it the Master's problem or your problem?"

Meng Zhong replied without hesitation: "The Master is a man who has attained enlightenment. His spirit has transcended the world. Naturally, he cannot be bound by the 'Song people'. However, the boy has not yet attained enlightenment and has not been able to understand the Master's thoughts. As a Song man, he fought for the Song State, and was justified. What is the question? On the contrary, since Doctor Qiu has served as the prime minister of Song State, he has repeatedly made profits for Zhao State. The boy feels... it is not right."

Qiu He was speechless again.

To be honest, his role as prime minister of Song is actually just a deal between Zhao and Song, but at this moment, Song Wangyan and Hui Ang did not come forward to explain in time, which made Qiu He look very embarrassed and seemed to be a little "traitorous".

Qiu He is not stupid, of course he understands that Song Wangyan and Hui Ang did not come forward to explain it to him in time. In fact, he was secretly annoyed that he had been instigating Song and Qi to start a war recently, so he was so happy that he was speechless by Meng Zhong, who was only a teenager.

He thought about it, then explained the opportunity to Meng Zhong, and made his position to Wang Yan of Song again: "Boy, you are wrong. I am ordered by King Zhao to promote the "Zhao and Song Alliance" for the benefit of Zhao and Song. More than 20 years ago, King Zhao first succeeded to the throne, and the countries tried to divide Zhao. At that time, it was all thanks to King Song Renyi's help and fought side by side with Zhao. King Zhao remembered this kindness in his heart. King Zhao once said to his left and right, Qin Yan and Han, and others were not trustworthy, but King Song Renyi, and Zhao could trust. Now Qi stands proudly in the east and is a confidant of Zhao. The two countries should work together sincerely. If this can be done, even if Qi is powerful, how can we be afraid?"

At this moment, Hui Ang suddenly interrupted: "However, our Song State attacked Teng State, and countless casualties were killed or injured, but Zhao State has been slow to attack Zhongshan, trying to let our Song State completely restrain Qi State. This is what Qiu Xiang called "sincerity and sincerity"?"

Qiu He shook his head and said, "Doctor Hui's words are narrow-minded. How can anyone die in war? If you give up easily, how can you achieve hegemony?"

"Anyway, it's not you who died on the verge of death, right?"

Hui'an's face showed an unhappy look, and Meng Zhong next to him also frowned.

Meng Zhong said lightly: "The harm of war is not how many people died in a battle, but how many mothers lost their sons, children lost their fathers, and younger brothers lost their elder brothers. And such tragedy has been repeated many times. Doctor Qiu said in a nutshell, "How can one die in war?" The boy thought... quite inappropriate."

Suddenly, the hall was silent. Hui Ang looked at Meng Zhong in surprise and even moved, while Qiu He was more surprised. Only Song Wangyan looked at Meng Zhong deeply and remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Qiu He asked Meng Zhong: "Boy, do you talk big, can you have a way to capture Teng Kingdom?"

“Of course there is.”

Meng Zhong was not afraid of Qiu He's trouble and said seriously: "Teng is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and he should use "cultural attacks" first."

"Cultural attack?" Wang Yan of Song also had some interest and asked Meng Zhong: "What is cultural attack?"

"Because of what he likes, follow his will. If he can do so, he will be able to get rid of it. Furthermore, he will be apart from his relatives, bribe his subordinates, assist in his lust and pleasure, and support his chaotic ministers. This is called literary attack." Meng Zhong said calmly.

"This... "Zhou Shu Yin Fu"?" Qiu He asked in surprise after recalling it for a while.

The so-called "Zhou Shuyin Fu" is actually the "Taigong Art of War" read by Meng Zhong.

Then he smiled and said, "After saying so much, you have not yet expressed your plan to break Teng Country."

Seeing this, Meng Zhong said lightly: "It's enough to change places."... Use Taoyi from our Song Kingdom to exchange for Teng Kingdom. If the monarch of Teng Kingdom allows it, our Song Kingdom can get Teng Kingdom without spending one soldier."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan, Hui Ang and Qiu He were all slightly stunned.

Immediately, Song Wangyan said in disbelief: "You want me to exchange Taoyi for Teng Kingdom? Do you know what kind of city Taoyi is?"

"Taoyi was once the capital of Cao State, and it was extremely wealthy."

"Then you still ask me to use Taoyi to exchange Teng Kingdom?" Song Wang Yan was happy.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhong said: "If you give me a mere Taoyi, you can make the State of Song face Qi with its full national strength; and even if Teng gets Taoyi and is intertwined between the two countries of Zhao and Song, you can only be an alliance with Zhao and Song. Why can't it be?"

“…”

When Song Wangyan heard this, he was stunned, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.

In the hall, Hui Ang also muttered "change" in a low voice, and complex expressions of surprise, confusion, regret appeared on his face.

It is undeniable that using Taoyi to exchange Teng State would definitely be a loss for Song State. But on the other hand, this strategy could allow Song State to exchange it to Teng State without spending one soldier, and directly deploy the army to the north shore of "Nanhu Lake", which could not only threaten Qilu, but also directly threaten Xueyi, which was simply the best strategy.

"What if Teng Hong refused to exchange?" Song Wangyan suddenly asked.

Meng Zhong certainly knew who Teng Hong was. He replied, "The king was unbelievable when he first came up with this plan. From this, it can be seen that Teng State is far inferior to Tao Yi. I believe that the world also thinks so... The monarch of Teng State still refuses to accept such generous conditions, which is because he is inappropriate. After that, the king condemned it, which is legitimate... Furthermore, if our Song State proposes this matter, it is equivalent to releasing goodwill to Teng State. If war is inevitable in the end, the Teng people may blame their monarch for being greedy, and the Teng State monarch may also regret it. Unlike the present, Teng State has united from top to bottom to fight against the Song army."

Hearing this, a blue and white color flashed across Song Wangyan's face, and he immediately said to Hui'an in a low voice: "Hui'an, this is your responsibility!"

Hui Ann nodded embarrassedly: "I am ashamed... I didn't expect it."

Seeing this, Meng Zhong felt secretly moved.

He could understand that people like Song Wangyan and Hui'an did not think of such a simple solution. The reason was that human nature wanted to "take over" but it was difficult to "spent" - who would be willing to give up what they got?

However, there are many things in the world that are like this. As long as you take a step back, you will be another world.

Just like the matter of Teng State, if Song Wang Yan could restrain his desire to "occupy", Song State might have obtained the land of Teng State without spending one soldier and one foot. He deployed troops there early, how could he end up with the current situation? He fought hard for more than two years, but still had not completely eliminated Teng State, and even led to the situation where Teng State was determined to resist Song State.

"This is the wisdom of Taoism."

Song Wangyan sighed, and he was upset by Meng Zhong's words and he was no longer in the mood to continue today's banquet.

After the banquet, Qiu He said goodbye and left, while Hui Ang and Meng Zhong were kept by Song Wangyan, who led the two to walk in the palace under the night sky.

Hui Ang originally thought that Song Wangyan was going to reward his brother Meng Zhong. However, he didn't expect that when Song Wangyan led them to the corner of the corridor of the side hall, he suddenly turned around and asked Meng Zhong and said, "Boy, as far as I know, your grandfather Meng Shu, father Meng Qu, and brother Meng Bo are all destroyed in the battle of our country. Therefore, you will come here for this recruitment... Do you hate me?"

Hui Ang was stunned when he heard this and looked at Meng Zhong in shock. After all, Meng Zhong had never told him that his grandfather, father, and brother were all destroyed in the battle.

Looking at Song Wangyan in front of him, a few complex colors flashed in Meng Zhong's eyes.

After a long time, he slowly opened his lips.
