    They retreated, but this was not a defeat. Yan Ji did not think that the battle was worthless, nor did he think that he had lost.  She thought this time it was just a test to try and make a move later.  Times have changed, and wars are no longer decided by just one fight.  This battle was a small test of one's skills, testing the depth. Although Yunyao was not killed, it made preparations for subsequent battles.

    Seeing that Yan Yan was not discouraged, Dan Ji secretly thought that Yunyao would be in trouble later.

    After the battle, Yunyao did not pursue him, but looked at the mess on the ground. He could only fill up the big potholes in the road first. The dead horses and destroyed carriages could not be restored, so he walked back and pretended to encounter a beast.

    Confucius and others had no doubt.

    The next journey was very simple. He returned to the State of Lu and settled down. In the last few years, Confucius never left the State of Lu again.

    The wars in the world are becoming more and more fierce, the corruption of etiquette and the collapse of music are becoming more and more serious, and the phenomenon of "if the citizens are not dedicated to the public, the public office is already despicable" has emerged.  In other words, the nobility has declined, and the ministers have risen. In addition, various countries are constantly fighting, and a large number of tourists who originally relied on the nobles or ministers have to find ways to solve the problem of food on their own.

    Mozi was born in this turbulent era, and the Spring and Autumn Period was transitioning to the Warring States Period. More than thirty years after Confucius's death, this laborer who studied under Confucianism had realized that it was impossible to restore peace to the world by relying on Confucius' self-denial and restoration of propriety.

    In this era, there were so many tragedies, and the war changed from a noble sports meeting to a deadly battle of siege.  One country sent troops to surround the city, causing various tragedies to occur in the city.

    When the autumn harvest comes, the army comes and surrounds the city. They eat the food outside the city and surround the city. If the people in the city cannot support it, they will enter the city again and rob the city, or even destroy the country and occupy the land. In this way  Annexation wars have become commonplace.

    In February of the sixteenth year of Duke Ai of Lu, Confucius passed away. Three years after his death, Mozi was born.

    This era is calling for more talented people, so in the coming era, there will be an endless stream of scholars.

    Of course, contemporary scholars do not think that the contention of a hundred schools of thought is a good thing. They all believe that the contention of a hundred schools of thought is one of the symptoms of troubled times and a problem that they must solve.  So they are determined to use their own opinions to overturn other people's opinions.

    Because Confucius¡¯ Confucianism was the earliest and had the most complete framework, later generations of scholars had to face Confucianism to a greater or lesser extent, and many of them were even born in Confucianism.

    Mozi studied under Confucianism, but he soon realized that Confucius's method was not effective at all.  Yao, Shun and Yu, rituals and music, benevolence, righteousness and morality, these things are too vain. Seeing that everyone can hardly live anymore, at this time, everyone should love each other and not attack, which is the fundamental way to solve the problem.  The cost of self-denial and restoration of rituals is high and the results are slow. It is simply not suitable for today's world.

    Mozi's ancestors were also nobles, even nobler than Confucius. However, in Mozi's generation, the status of nobles was not of any help at all. Mozi, like Confucius, had to herd cattle and work when he was young.  He also worked as a carpenter.

    Later, Mozi learned the Six Arts from the Confucianists, and finally set up his own business. He took advantage of the Confucian disciples, lured away a lot of people, and started working on his own projects.

    The group of Confucian scholars who were taken away by Mozi were all born as craftsmen, and they disdained the heavy etiquette advocated by Confucianism.  They valued the peace that farmers and craftsmen needed more, so they directly put forward "love all, not attack" and various frugal statements to deal with the chaos.

    After starting his own business, Mo Zhai established the Mohist school and re-established a set of order. Unlike the Confucian scholars who "never tire of fine food and fine food," Mohist disciples all wore simple clothes and homemade straw sandals, worked hard, and kept everything simple.  Oppose Confucianism's insistence on rituals and music, rich burials, and the emphasis on poverty.

    Thirty years after the death of Confucius, the Mohist school was established. At this time, Mozi was very high-spirited and led his disciples to cause trouble everywhere and refute the ideas of Confucian scholars.  At the same time, it recruited disciples to expand its scale and established a community organization with close top-down relationships.  There are many internal rules within the Mohist family, and they exist independently of national laws.

    To join the Mohist family, it is impossible not to endure hardships. Fortunately, the people at the bottom of the country are very hardworking these days.  If you join the Mo family group, you will at least have someone to take care of you. If you face the nobles and monarchs alone, you will be at a disadvantage.

    At the same time, the Mohists advocated hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and often organized manpower to help weak countries defend their cities.  In response to the originally more brutal siege, many methods of defending the city were proposed.

    However, after Confucius died, Yunyao went to Wu State first. Wu State had no sense of existence because it had been suppressed by Chu State. But when Chu State and Jin State were competing for hegemony, Wu State's opportunity finally came.  That is to say, in the era of Confucius, the state of Wu made many allies, sent envoys to Qi, Jin, Lu, and Zheng, and established an anti-Chu front with the northern countries.?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The whole world was shocked, and the state of Wu became a country that was expected to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.

    However, the glory of Wu State was short-lived. When Confucius died, Wu State was almost finished.  The reason is that the Wu State failed to destroy the Yue State and was counterattacked.

    "Where is "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?" Yunyao climbed over the wall and entered the palace of King Wu.  At this time, King Wu Fu Chai was already very swollen and did not realize that he was in danger. He was still immersed in the dream of fighting for hegemony and had no self-awareness at all.

    Although Wu State relied on taking advantage of the opportunity and occupied a large amount of Chu land when Chu and Jin were fighting fiercely, it does not mean that it really has the strength to dominate the Central Plains.

    In the later period, Wu Zixu no longer listened to Wu Zixu's suggestions, and King Wu Fu Chai was already in a state of disbelief.

    The palace is full of luxurious trophies and beauties from all over the world. Fu Chai is addicted to comfort, and the palace guards are also quite lax.  Yunyao's goal is to find "The Art of War", which should be hidden in the palace.

    "Here." Yunyao found the bamboo slips of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and immediately made a copy.  Speaking of which, Sun Tzu has not fought many battles, but he has refined such capable theoretical knowledge. He is really a genius.

    Yunyao read in the library and stayed for several days. In addition to copying "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, he also copied down all the poems collected by the state of Wu. However, these poems were all written in Wu language and needed to be translated.  Sun Tzu was originally from Qi, so his "Art of War" was written in Qi language. There is not much difference between Qi and Lu languages, so no translation is needed.

    "Sure enough, we still need a Qin Shihuang." Yunyao really missed the time when there was only one written language. The language and writing of Wu State were very different from those in the north, making it quite difficult to understand.

    After the copying was completed, Yunyao was ready to go back to the north and wait for Mozi to be born.  Just as I was about to leave the library, I found a beautiful woman in a quiet place looking at the lake sadly, as if she would commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake at any time.

    The woman is wearing a colorful gauze skirt, a beaded hairpin on her head, beautiful hands, and a white neck. She must be a concubine and not a palace maid.  However, King Wu Fu Cha had many beauties around him. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, sent eight beauties to paralyze Fu Cha, not to mention the countless beauties that Fu Cha captured from Chu, Qi and Yue.

    Yunyao has nothing to do but be envious, because Wu¡¯s fortune still lasts for a few years, and Yunyao cannot kill the King of Wu in advance.  However, since she saw a beautiful woman trying to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake, she still wanted to take care of it, so she showed up and said: "It's only February now, the spring is very cold, the lake is cold, and it will definitely be uncomfortable to jump in. I suggest that if you want to go into the water,  Bathing will have to wait until at least June.¡±

    Zheng Dan did have suicidal thoughts, but he did not expect that such a beauty would appear in this secluded place, and she was a beauty she had never seen before.  Zheng Dan was originally a beauty, but she felt ashamed when she saw Yunyao, because Yunyao's temperament was too elegant, not like a mortal woman, and she seemed to be ready to ascend and leave the world of mortals at any time.
