Chapter 368 Theft
Retreat, but this is not a loss. Yan Yin did not think that this battle was worthless, nor did she think that she had lost. She thought that this time was just a test and used the goal of the future. Times have changed, and the war is no longer just a fight and the outcome will be decided. This battle is a test of the depth. Although Yun Yao did not kill, she prepared for the subsequent battle.
Seeing that Yan Yan was not discouraged, Danji thought that Yunyao must be in trouble later.
After the battle, Yunyao did not pursue him. He just looked at the mess and could only fill the big pit on the road. The dead horses and the destroyed carriage could not be restored, so he walked back and pretended to have encountered a beast.
Confucius and others had no doubts.
The next journey was very simple. I returned to Lu and settled down. In the last few years, Confucius never left Lu again.
The war in the world became more and more fierce, and the deterioration of etiquette and music became more and more serious. There was a phenomenon of "the people are not all the people, and the office is already humble." In other words, the nobles have declined and nobles have risen. In addition, the wars of various countries have continued, and a large number of wandering scholars who originally depended on nobles or nobles have had to find ways to solve the problem of eating by themselves.
Mozi was born in this turbulent era, and the Spring and Autumn Period was changing toward the Warring States Period. More than 30 years after Confucius' death, this worker who studied under Confucianism realized that relying on Confucius' self-restraint and regaining rituals could not return peace to the world.
In this era, there were so many tragedies, and wars also changed from a noble sports meeting to a siege of the city to a death battle. A country sent troops to surround the city, causing various tragedies to occur in the city.
When it comes to autumn harvest, the army comes to surround the city, eat food outside the city, and surround the city. If the people in the city cannot support it, then they will go to the city to rob, or even destroy the country and occupy land. Such an annexation war is common.
In February of the 16th year of Duke Ai of Lu, Confucius passed away. Three years after his death, Mozi was born.
This era is calling for more capable people and strangers, so in the next era, all the geniuses will be like ripe melons and stalks falling.
Of course, contemporary scholars do not think that the Hundred Schools of Thought is a good thing. They all think that the Hundred Schools of Thought is one of the problems in troubled times and a problem that they must solve. Therefore, they are all determined to overturn other people's opinions with their own opinions.
Because Confucius' Confucianism appeared the earliest and had the most complete framework, all the scholars in later generations had to face Confucianism to a greater or lesser extent, and many of them were even born Confucian.
Mozi studied under Confucianism, but soon he realized that Confucius's trick was not good at all. Yao, Shun and Yu, rituals and music, benevolence, righteousness and morality, these things are too stupid and silly. Seeing that everyone is not happy, everyone should love and not attack at this time, the fundamental solution to the problem. Self-discipline and return to rituals are high costs and slow results, and it is not suitable for today.
Mozi's ancestors were also nobles, even more noble than Confucius's background. However, by Mozi's generation, the status of a noble could not help at all. Like Confucius, Mozi had to work with cattle when he was young, and Mozi also worked as a carpenter.
Later, Mozi learned the Six Arts with Confucians, and finally set up his own business, prying out the corners of Confucian disciples, took away a lot of people, and went to work on projects by himself.
The group of Confucian scholars who were taken away by Mo Zi were all born to craftsmen. They disdained the heavy etiquette advocated by Confucianism. They valued the peace needed by farmers and craftsmen, so they directly proposed the "either love but not attack" and various frugal statements in response to the chaos.
After starting his own business, Modi established the Mo family and re-established a set of orders. Unlike the Confucian scholars who "don't eat fine meat and fine meat", all Mohist disciples wore simple clothes, made homemade straw sandals, worked hard, and kept everything simple. They opposed the Confucian insisted on rituals, music, burials, and poverty.
Thirty years after Confucius' death, the Mohist family was established. At this time, Mohist was full of energy and led his disciples to smash the scene everywhere to refute the Confucian scholars' proposals. At the same time, he recruited disciples to expand the scale and established a community organization with close relationships with the upper and lower levels. The Mohist family had many rules and existed independently of national laws.
If you want to join the Mo family, it is not enough not to endure hardships. Fortunately, the people of the lower classes are very hard-working these days. There is at least one way to take care of them when joining the Mo family. If you face the nobles and the king alone, you will suffer a loss.
At the same time, the Mohist school advocated the use of the strong and helped the weak, and often organized people to help the weak countries defend the city. It proposed many methods of defending the city in response to the increasingly cruel siege battle.
However, after Confucius' death, Yunyao went to Wu first. Wu had no sense of existence because he had been suppressed by Chu. However, when Chu and Jin competed for hegemony, the opportunity for Wu finally came. In the era of Confucius, Wu made allies and sent envoys to Qi, Jin, Lu, Zheng, and established an anti-Chu front with northern countries.
In addition, Wu Zixu, the State of Chu, defected to Wu, gave Wu King Fuchai an in-depth understanding of Chu. Wu made an amazing record, defeated Chu and entered the capital of Chu.
The whole world was shocked, and the Wu Kingdom also became an existence that hoped to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.
However, the glory of Wu was short-lived. When Confucius passed away, Wu was almost over. The reason was that Wu did not destroy Yue and was killed.
"Where is the Art of War?" Yunyao climbed over the wall and entered the palace of the King of Wu. At this time, the King of Wu Fuchai was already very inflated. He did not realize that he was in trouble at all. He was still immersed in the dream of fighting for hegemony, and had no idea at all.
Although the Wu Kingdom occupied a large number of Chu territory when the Chu and Jin were fighting hard, it did not mean that he really had the strength to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.
In the later period, Wu Zixu could not listen to his suggestions, and King Fuchai of Wu was already floating.
The palace was full of luxury trophy and beauties from all over the world. Fuchai was addicted to comfort, and the palace guards were quite relaxed. Yunyao's goal was to find "The Art of War" and should be hidden in the palace.
"Here." Yunyao found the bamboo slips of "The Art of War" and immediately copied one. Speaking of which, Sun Zi had not fought many battles, but he had refined such capable theoretical knowledge. He was really a genius.
Yun Yao was reading books in the library for several days. In addition to copying "The Art of War", he also copied all the poems collected by the Wu Kingdom. However, these poems were all written in Wu language and needed to be translated. Sun Tzu was originally from Qi, so his "The Art of War" was written in Qi language. There was no big difference in the language of Qilu, so there was no need to be translated.
"It's true that I still need a Qin Shihuang." Yun Yao really missed when there was only one kind of text. The language and text of the Wu Kingdom were very different from that of the north, and it was quite difficult to understand.
After the copying was finished, Yunyao was about to go back to the north and wait for Mozi to be born. As soon as he was about to leave the library, he found a beautiful woman in the secluded place looking sadly at the lake, as if she would jump into the lake and commit suicide at any time.
The woman was wearing a colorful gauze dress, beaded hairpin on her head, her jade hands were Qianqian, and her neck was white. She must be a concubine and not a palace maid. However, King Fuchai of Wu was surrounded by many beauties. Goujian of Yue, the King of Yue, gave eight beauties to paralyze Fuchai, not to mention that Fuchai had plundered from Chu, Qi, and Yue, and countless beauties.
Yunyao had no choice but to envy her, because Wu's luck would be a few years away, and Yunyao could not kill the King of Wu in advance. However, since she saw a beauty who wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, she still had to take care of her, so she appeared and said, "It's only February, the spring is cold and the lake is cold, so it will definitely be uncomfortable if you jump down. I suggest that if you want to go into the water and take a bath, you have to wait until after June."
