Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sun Bin looked at the large number of gamblers, among whom there was a young man who stood out the most. This man was full of energy and devoted himself to the horse racing. He had obviously bet a lot.

    After Tian Ji raced the horse, Sun Bin and Tian Ji defeated Pang Juan with the tactic of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.  Sun Bin has always wanted to completely defeat his senior brother, but he doesn't know when the second battle will take place.  So when he was bored, Sun Bin would go to the racecourse to relax.  If he stays in his luxurious mansion, he will only think of everything he encountered in Wei State. Those memories are really a beating from society.

    Originally, Sun Bin went to Wei to join his senior brother Pang Juan, but Pang Juan was jealous of Sun Bin's talent, so he dug out his knees and imprisoned him with pigs. If Sun Bin hadn't pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, he would not have been able to escape from Wei.

    During that period, Sun Bin experienced the greatest pain in his life, the pain of being betrayed by his senior brother, the pain of having his knees dug out, and the pain of having his dignity destroyed. One victory was not enough to restore him to normal. Even if Pang Juan was killed, Sun Bin would have already  It was impossible to stand up again.  He also consulted Dr. Mo Zhe, who suggested that he amputate his leg and replace it with a prosthesis, but Sun Bin ultimately chose a wheelchair because he did not want to have his leg amputated.

    The noise of the racetrack will distract him, and Sun Bin will not have random thoughts.  But today I met an interesting person at the racecourse, and Sun Bin couldn't help but observe him.

    Sun Bin is actually only in his early thirties, but he already has gray hair and is very thin. His face is haggard and unhealthy. He is obviously troubled by a heart disease and has trouble sleeping and eating.

    In the racecourse, Yulu was already lagging behind and it was obviously impossible to win, but the young man was still cheering for Yulu.  Sun Bin wanted to see Yu Lu's disappointed expression after he lost.

    However, something strange happened. When Yulu failed, the man's expression did not reveal any disappointment. He was very calm and indifferent, not like a bad gambler who was jealous of losing a bet.

    "Go and ask him how much he has imprisoned." Sun Bin asked his attendants to inquire about the situation.

    The attendant quickly replied with a strange look on his face: "I asked, this person just deposited ten knives." The attendant also didn't believe it, because the way he screamed at the top of his lungs just now didn't look like he was asking for ten knives.  , simply for the sake of his own wealth and life.  If there were only ten sword coins, why would it be like this?

    Sun Bin was also very surprised and asked: "Are you sure?"

    ¡°It¡¯s been confirmed, it¡¯s really only ten sword coins.¡± The attendant had a weird look on his face.

    Sun Bin became interested. Judging from the other party's appearance, he didn't look like someone who couldn't afford ten knives. Why was he so excited for ten knives?  Besides, from the calm look on his face after losing, we could tell that the other party was not after ten coins. Could it be that he was excited because he was watching a horse race for the first time?

    Since you have questions, the best way is to ask clearly: "Go and invite those people over."

    "yes."

    Yunyao saw a haggard man in a wheelchair and thought to herself, isn't this a coincidence? She didn't expect to see a celebrity so soon.

    "I have met Mr. Sun." Now that we have reached the Warring States Period, "gong" no longer specifically refers to the duke, but is a respectful title for people.

    Sun Bin is not surprised. After all, he is also a celebrity in Qi State, and he is also an easily recognized celebrity. There is no second disabled person in Qi State who is more noble than himself.  He looked at these young people up and down and found that they were neither humble nor arrogant, which was not in line with the performance this year.  At their age, I still eagerly wanted to make contributions, but was eventually beaten up by society.  But these five people were very calm, with a feeling of being unfazed.

    "I just saw you shouting loudly during the horse racing. I thought you had bet a lot. After asking, I found out that you only bet ten coins. I don't think you are short of money. Why were you so different from ordinary people just now?  "Sun Bin has a high emotional intelligence and didn't directly ask you what's wrong with you.

    "I was gambling just now. It didn't matter whether it was ten dollars or one hundred gold. Since it was gambling, I wanted to win." Yunyao said seriously.

    Interesting, Sun Bin asked again: "Look around you, the gamblers who lost are all dejected. Since you want to win, why aren't you so discouraged after losing?"

    Yunyao said: "If you lose, you will lose. It's useless to talk too much. It's better to learn a lesson in time and stop gambling."

    Sun Bin could not help but nod and felt that this young man was good and had potential.  He agreed very much. As a soldier, you have to win a war, but if you really lose, you have to learn lessons and adjust your shortcomings. The young man in front of you has the psychological quality to be a general.

    "May I have your name?"

    "Zhu Yun, a native of Zhucheng, State of Lu." Since she is a woman disguised as a man, she naturally has to use a man's name.  The man is from the Yong family, and Yunyao is from the Zhu family, so she is now Zhu Yun.

    "Have you ever thought about serving as an official in Qi State? I think you can be a general." Sun Bin began to love talents.

    Yunyao shook his head.??¡°I¡¯d rather be a lobbyist than a general.¡±

    "Why?" Sun Bin thought to himself, is the other party afraid of death?  If you are afraid of death, you really can't join the army.

    "It's not good to be a general and be the enemy of the monarch." Yunyao said something shocking, which made Sun Bin look at him with suspicion.

    "How can you say this? The general fights for the monarch and the country, how can he be the enemy of the monarch?" Sun Bin had never heard of such a statement and was very surprised.

    Yunyao can naturally tell a lot of truths. She said in a leisurely manner: "If we win, the general will capture ten cities, and the monarch will reward the general with five cities to encourage people's hearts. If he loses, the general will not be able to absolve himself of the blame."  If you are a lobbyist, generous to other countries and offering six cities as a gift, you can break off diplomatic relations between the monarch and his allies, and also sow discord between the monarch and his ministers. The general spends troops, horses, food and fodder but can only give the monarch five cities, and the lobbyist does not need to expend any energy from the monarch.  It can be sent to six cities, so the monarch does not like the general, and the general is the enemy of the monarch."

    When a general captures land, the monarch must reward him, so war is obviously not the optimal solution for the monarch.  The best solution is for someone else to negotiate and give away the city, because the monarch can maximize his interests without losing his own strength.

    During the Warring States Period, it was often seen that enemy countries used cities as bribes, and the bribed monarchs changed their previous decisions and made seemingly foolish decisions.  In fact, it is not that the monarch is easy to deceive, nor is the monarch low in IQ, but that the interests of the country are not necessarily the interests of the monarch.  The country is made up of mouths looking for profit from the monarch. They are all crying for food, and the monarch wants them to pay a price for doing things.

    And when things are done, the monarch may not necessarily get the benefits. In other words, if the monarch uses his own money to do things for others, the monarch will naturally not be happy.

    So in the history of the Warring States Period, many monarchs would accept bribes and betray their trust.  First, there are direct benefits, and second, even if the betrayed country attacks, the war will not necessarily be fought on its own territory.

    Because it is a feudal system, the land of the country is distributed to others, and the core territory of the monarch is not affected, so betrayal is betrayal. Anyway, it is the border lord who bears the risk.

    In fact, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period are the seven Zhou dynasties. The king and the lords live together, and the lords regard the king as the king. Everyone makes money together and fights together. But in fact, each lord has his own ideas, and the king also has his own core interests.

    The interests of the king are not the interests of the country, so the kings of the Warring States Period always made various tricks.

    Of course, it's not just the king who makes saucy moves, there are also many lords who do it. Sometimes in order to expand their fiefdoms, they actively encourage the king to go to war, or they accept bribes from other countries and encourage the king to make decisions that are beneficial to the enemy country.  Selling out the interests of the country and the monarch.

    So what Yunyao said is absolutely right. A general is also a lord, and if he wins, he must share the spoils. Therefore, sometimes it is better for the monarch not to fight, because the benefits he receives are too few, and the income and expenses are unequal.

    The king and the lords each have their own small calculations, and because of this, the wanderers have room to play and can benefit from various combinations.
