Chapter Ninety-Three: No One Is Perfect
Famous generals throughout the ages have one characteristic, that is, they win more and lose less.
And the two prerequisites built on the background of winning more and losing less are to be good at observation and diligent in thinking.
Only by being careful can we observe the enemy's weaknesses or intentions. Only by constantly thinking can we make countermeasures and gain an invincible position.
Chong Jianzhong obviously fits these two characteristics, that is, he used this to chat with Tang Ning, which made Tang Ning feel very insecure.
Just a few words I said to him, and he was able to guess all the general things - just such a person, who is still chatting with you?
So Tang Ning closed his mouth tightly and ignored the cultivation. But Chong Jianzhong was very excited to give advice on the side, chattering non-stop.
"This against a woman, the overseer, is actually the same as marching and fighting. You can't just go on the offensive, and at the right time, you have to go on the defensive, or even push yourself into a desperate situation, so that you can die and come back to life.
If you blindly attack, whether it is you or the other party, you will not be able to parry in the end.
The character of the superintendent makes you the smoothest among the young men that the old man has ever seen. Have self-knowledge, know how to make good use of people, know how to use people, and know that people dare to use, from this point you can see that you are a person with a big heart.
At the same time, as a disciple of the transfer envoy to the adult, he is not arrogant, and he is not impatient when he is in trouble, which shows your ability to deal with problems. A person who can always stay calm is very good at dealing with problems......"
It feels good to be slapped on the back by a famous general, before Tang Ning was thinking about how to plug his ears without offending Zhong Jianzhong, but now the sudden sycophants in Zhong Jianzhong made Tang Ning feel relaxed.
In addition, it seems that it has rained not long ago on Chang'an's side, smelling the fragrance of the earth in the air, and listening to the comfortable sycophants in his ears, Tang Ning is fluttering at this time.
As for the matter of blocking ears, he has long been thrown out of the clouds.
However, the last sentence of Chong Jianzhong made Tang Ning embarrassed, and Chong Jianzhong's understanding of himself was limited to the transfer of command in Gaoyin Mountain and his perseverance under heavy protection on the battlefield.
And that's not the real Downing......
If it was the same as he said, if he was in trouble and not impatient, that Pei Xiantong who came to harm him would have been arrested a long time ago, how could she be so unscrupulous to assassinate herself every time?
So Tang Ning hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Uncle Chong praised it, the junior is actually not as powerful as you said......"
Chong Jianzhong laughed, pointed at Tang Ning and said: "Supervising the transport envoy, the old man likes you the most, be modest!" Hahaha! ”
“……”
This person's misunderstanding of himself is a little deep, but Tang Ning doesn't want to solve it for the time being. Seeing that Chong Jianzhong was about to start saying things that sounded very reasonable, but when you thought about it carefully, you would find that it was all nonsense, Tang Ning hurriedly changed the topic and said:
"Uncle Chong, I heard that when you were young, you once learned from Mr. Hengqu? It just so happened that the younger generation was also very curious about Mr. Yokoqu's knowledge.
Establish a heart for heaven and earth, for
The declaration that the people set up a life, continued to learn for the saints, and opened a peaceful declaration for all generations, every time I think of it in my heart, I don't feel tears in my eyes.
If you have to find the person closest to the saint, the younger generation thinks that this person must be Mr. Hengqu.
But it's a pity that the younger generation was born at the wrong time, and the first teacher never taught the younger generation about Mr. Hengqu's doctrine, I wonder if Uncle Chong can solve the confusion for the younger generation? ”
Chong Jianzhong looked at Tang Ning with half stunned and half sad eyes, and was silent for a while, before he said sadly: "The four sentences you said just now are the ultimate ideal of the ancestor. The so-called doctrine is nothing more than a means to accomplish this ideal.
If you have to figure it out, just take these four sentences as the core of Guan Xue. ”
Tang Ning felt a little guilty, he just wanted to change the topic, and now it seems that he has aroused the sadness of Chong Jianzhong. No matter how you look at it, his relationship with Zhang Zai should be very close.
Otherwise, it would not have been a sad look on his face after Tang Ning mentioned it.
However, the sad look was fleeting, and Tang Ning was about to open his mouth to comfort, but Chong Jianzhong said with a smile: "The Guan School created by the ancestor was quite popular in the early years.
However, in recent years, the science originally proposed by Mr. Lianxi has been carried forward by Mr. Mingdao and Mr. Yichuan, and the science has been perfected by the integration of Kangaku, so the Kanxue of the former teacher has gradually become unpopular.
A scholar of your age is still interested in Guan Xue, which is indeed quite surprising to the old man. ”
"Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of temperance is a big matter, this is what people can say? Science has too high requirements for people's moral standards, and no one is perfect. Throughout the ages, even the Confucian saints have not been able to do what they say is flawless.
Science will only create a group of rotten Confucians who stand up to eat with a bowl and put down the bowl to scold their mothers. ”
Chong Jianzhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, pointed at Tang Ning and said: "The envoy is always humorous and profound.
No one is perfect, this is a good saying.
The old man has never heard anyone say it before, is this your own perception? ”
Tang Ning was also stunned for a moment, could it be that at this time, this idiom has not appeared yet? However, he has his own way, as long as it is this kind of unclear thing, he will push it on his immortal master, and no one will doubt it.
"That's what my master told me." Tang Ning said very modestly.
The roads are muddy, so the march becomes extremely slow. When it was dark, he had only walked less than forty miles, and he was still more than two hundred and forty miles away from Tongguan.
I found a relatively dry place on the side of the road and set up camp, and before the military tent was put away, it began to rain again.
Zhou Huai looked at the raindrops falling outside at the door of the big tent, and said very melancholy: "It seems that there has been a lot of rain recently...... I hope Tongguan doesn't flood a lot......"
Tang Ning didn't understand what the master was saying, and he was fine, so he asked. Zhou Huai glanced at Tang Ning and explained helplessly: "Every year from the beginning of autumn to the fall of frost, it is the rainy season. Tongguan is close to the Yellow River, once it rains,
Moreover, it is a continuous heavy rain and torrential rain, and the Yellow River is prone to flooding.
Once it floods, Tongguan, which bears the brunt of the flood, will naturally suffer. You kid always looks like you know everything, why don't you understand such an important thing? ”
Tang Ning scratched his head and said, "The matter of the Yellow River, the ancestor didn't mention it to me much...... But isn't there still you, Master, I'm still young, just learn slowly. ”
Zhou Huai was amused by Tang Ning, shook his head, and sighed: "Tomorrow we have to speed up the journey, it's good that Tongguan doesn't have a big flood, but if there is a big flood, there will be a group of disaster victims and displaced people."
When we entered Beijing this time, we brought a lot of grain and grass. When it arrives at Tongguan and distributes it to the people, there is still some leftover. And the sooner we go to Tongguan, the sooner we can help.
Even if there was a big flood before we arrived, as soon as 5,000 people arrived, it would be able to help a lot...... Okay, go to sleep, get up early tomorrow and walk for the day, and get a good rest tonight. ”
Tang Ning's heart is so big, he doesn't know the Lord who cries out for pain if the hail doesn't hit his head. Zhou Huai asked him to sleep, and he lay down and fell asleep. And this night, Zhou Huai couldn't sleep all night, and all he thought about was the people of Tongguan......
………………
I don't know if it's Master's crow's mouth, or something else. At noon the next day, when there was still more than half a distance from Tongguan, the cavalry sent by Liu Ling to Tongguan to inquire about the situation returned, saying that Tongguan had already been flooded.
Zhou Huai was anxious in his heart, and on the one hand, he hurriedly sent someone to inform the Jingzhao Mansion behind his butt to deliver disaster relief food, and on the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to speed up the march, and at the latest, four days later, they must rush to Tongguan.
It would be better if it was in peacetime, although most of these soldiers were van troops, and they could not march as quickly as the Western Army, about 80 miles a day.
But it was no problem to ask them to walk sixty miles.
But now the situation is different, on the one hand, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and on the other hand, the rain has not stopped, even if the strikers are sent to clean up the road ahead, after a rain, everything is lost.
And how much water the bucket can hold depends on the shortest plank. Ox carts and horse-drawn carts are not fast on their own under such roads, and once they fall into a mud pit, it takes a lot of effort.
Calculated in this way, walking fifty miles a day is already the limit, and there are still two hundred and thirty miles away from Tongguan.
In four days, the maximum distance is 200 to 210 miles, and the remaining 20 miles is difficult for the army to complete.
"Planting! Downing! ”
"The last general!"
"Humble duty!"
"With the two of you bringing a thousand elites, carrying three days' rations, and rushing to Tongguan as quickly as possible!"
Chong Jianzhong did not hesitate at all, and in the pouring rain, Chong Jianzhong knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Obey!" ”
Tang Ning, on the other hand, raised his head, looked at the master with a serious face, hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, if you can't get there......"
"Military law!"
