Thorny Men Yan: The wisdom of observing water in the chess game in troubled times. In the middle of the Warring States Period, the Central Plains was engulfed in war. In the chess game where the seven heroes competed for hegemony, all the countries were chess players holding chess pieces. Only the Wei State, caught between Wei, Zhao and Qin, was just an idle man at the mercy of others. On the banks of the Pushui River in Puyang, the capital city, a man wearing washed and faded Confucian shirts sat every day. His surname was Jimen and his name was Yan. He was a descendant of the declining gentry of the Wei Kingdom. He did not discuss politics or military affairs, he only stared at the water on the river, looking more fascinated than anyone else. People by the river laughed at him for being crazy, saying that the ancestors of the Thornmen family were once ministers of the humerus of Lord Wei, but now they have such a descendant who only knows how to look at the water. Only Ji Menyan's clan brother Ji Menshuo knew that this seemingly undisciplined head of the family had a secret plan for "watching water". He could see the rise and fall of nations from the rise and fall of the Pu River. In the late spring of this year, Pang Juan led 100,000 Wei soldiers to surround Handan, the capital of Zhao. News that the flags were blocking the sun reached Puyang, and the Weiguo court instantly became chaotic. The State of Wei sent envoys to the Wei State, asking the State of Wei to contribute food and grass to aid the war, otherwise they would send their troops south. The State of Zhao also sent envoys to ask for help, promising to divide the Wei State's territory equally after defeating Wei. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were divided into two factions, and the quarrel was red-faced. The pro-Wei faction said: "Wei is so powerful that trying to use a mantis as a chariot will only lead to the country's destruction!" The pro-Zhao faction roared: "If the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, the Wei Kingdom will be next!" Wei Jun was sitting on the dragon chair, his face was pale, and his hand holding the jade seal was shaking. At this moment, Ji Menyan, who had been hiding in the corner of the hall, slowly walked out. He bowed deeply to Wei Jun and said loudly: "King Wei seems to be unstoppable, but in fact he is like a surging torrent. Although the wave is high, it is already the end of a powerful crossbow." As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar. Xiangguo pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are so arrogant! The Wei army surrounded Handan for three months, and the Zhao army retreated steadily. Is this the end of a strong crossbow?" Ji Menyan was not alarmed and said: "When the flood is raging, it seems that it can break down the embankment, but if the water source is cut off upstream, the wave will be fleeting. In the third month of the Wei army's attack on the city, the food and grass were exhausted, and the people in the country complained. The Zhang River flooded and washed away the fertile fields. This It is the "virtual power" of Hongfeng - it seems to be powerful, but in fact it is exhausted. Our country is weak and is in the period when the Pu River is dry. At this time, no matter whether we join Wei or assist Zhao, we can only wait for the "spring flood east wind" to blow. " Wei Jun was half convinced, but Ji Menyan had already turned around and returned home. He ordered his tribesmen to clear ditches, clear wasteland, grow millet, and weave linen and make cloth. He also sent his confidants to sneak into the Zhao army's remaining camp outside Handan City with hundreds of stones of millet remaining. At that time, the Zhao army was defeated, and the soldiers were so hungry that they gnawed tree bark. Jimenyan's people used corn as wages in exchange for thousands of Wei prisoners who were defeated. Clan brother Ji Menshuo was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Master, we are already short of food, why bother to feed these prisoners?" Ji Menyan pointed to the pond full of water in the courtyard and said with a smile: "When the water is dry, the water is stored in the pond, and others just treat it as a waste pond; when the spring flood comes, the water from the pond will flow into the rivers and nourish the fertile fields." These words really came true. Three months later, Qi State's Tian Ji and Sun Bin led their troops to attack Daliang, the capital of Wei State. Pang Juan returned to the army to rescue him. He fell in ambush in the middle of Maling Road and was pierced by thousands of arrows and died. The main force of the Wei State was completely lost, and the siege of Handan was resolved without a fight. This is the "spring flood east wind" that Thornymen Yan has been waiting for - the peak of the flood has passed, the weak power has dissipated, and the dry Weiguo has finally waited for the opportunity to divert water. He immediately brought the prisoners of Wei into the palace and said to King Wei: "The king of Wei has suffered a new defeat, and the people are in panic and need to be appeased. We will return the prisoners without asking for money or silk, but only to take back the three cities that were previously ceded." King Wei acted according to his plan, and King Wei was indeed overjoyed. Not only did he return the cities, but he also made an alliance with Wei to exchange trade. After this battle, Ji Menyan became famous and was worshiped as a senior doctor by Lord Wei. But after entering the court, he still looked like he was "not trying to be first". At that time, the dispute between the two factions in the Weiguo court intensified. The pro-Wei faction said that they would rely on Wei and use Wei's power to resist Qin; the pro-Zhao faction said that they would unite with Zhao to resist Wei and carve up Wei's territory. Weijun was so noisy that he had trouble sleeping and eating, so he summoned Ji Menyan to ask for advice. Ji Menyan said bluntly: "Weiguo's current national strength is like an undercurrent that has just risen from the low water, and the foundation is not stable. If you stand rashly at this time, the flood will suddenly rise and overflow the embankment - it may seem surging for a while, but in fact it will overwhelm its own embankment, and everything will be lost." He proposed a "neutral policy": "Not to ally with Wei, not to be close to Zhao, but only to open border markets and trade with both countries. Not to sell grain, grass, weapons, but only to sell linen and corn. In this way, Wei and Zhao will be at peace for their own benefit and will not attack and defend easily. This is to dredge the river, let the water flow rise steadily and slowly, and be impartial, so that the shallow water of Wei can firmly hold the embankment." Wei Jun did as he said. Within two years, the market outside Puyang City was bustling with traffic. People from Wei came to buy Weiguo's linen, and Zhao people came to buy Weiguo's corn. The Weiguo treasury was increasingly full, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The pro-Wei and pro-Zhao factions no longer made any noise, simply because no one wanted to block their own aqueducts. Ji Menyan stood on a high platform by the Pushui River, looking at the business travelers coming and going, and said to Ji Menshuo: "Surviving in troubled times is like controlling water. It is better to block the water than to remove it. It is better to fight than to defend. If you don't compete to be the first, the flow will be fierce, and you will have long-term peace." Five years after the peaceful days, the new king of Zhao came to the throne, ambitious, and wanted to unite and defend the country to resist the iron hoof of Qin's eastward advance. The envoys of the State of Zhao entered the Wei State with a lot of money and maps, promising that as long as the State of Wei formed an alliance, they would return all the land they had previously invaded and invaded, and they also named Lord Wei the "Marquis of Zhao West". The pro-Zhao faction was instantly excited, and they all urged Wei Jun to seize the opportunity and revive the glory of Wei Guo. However, Ji Menyan stood up again and stopped Wei Jun's imperial pen. He pointed to the map on the case and said in a deep voice: "The new king of the Zhao Kingdom has just been established, the old ministers in the country have not yet surrendered, and the people's hearts are not yet stable. It seems to be forging ahead, but in fact it is like a small stream flowing into a river, stable but not turbulent - although the water flow is rising, it has not reached the point of rushing. He wants Wei to form an alliance, just because he wants Wei to be a water-blocking dam to resist the torrent of the Qin army. If we agree, the dam foundation will not be solid and it will be flooded. Once Qin attacks Zhao, Wei will be washed away first. " He paused and then said: "Slow flow and accumulation of momentum can lead to long-lasting power. Zhao's momentum needs to be stabilized internally and the water flows to converge into a river before it can last. We can form a 'trade alliance' with Zhao to exchange what we have without sending troops to help in the war. In this way, we will not offend Zhao or get burned. We can also use the opportunity of trade to dig deep into our own reservoirs and secretly accumulate strength." Wei Jun was convinced that he declined Zhao's military alliance and only signed a trade agreement. Although the envoy of Zhao State was angry, there was nothing he could do. When the Qin State saw that the Wei State had not formed an alliance with the Zhao State, it indeed suspended its coveting of the Wei State. Ji Menyan took this opportunity to reorganize his armaments, train his soldiers, and forge weapons. The strength of the defense of the country was like the slow flow of Pu River, growing quietly and little by little. Ten years passed by in a blink of an eye, and Qin's cavalry broke through the capital of South Korea and Zhao's Handan. The six countries were shaken and everyone was in danger. The news reached Puyang, and the Weiguo court fell into an unprecedented panic. Wei Jun hugged the imperial seal and cried: "The Qin State is unstoppable. Only by surrendering the whole country can we save the lives of the people." All civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads and shed tears. Only Ji Menyan remained calm. He slowly stepped forward and helped Lord Wei: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has swept across the six countries, and no one can defeat it. This is the peak of the flood, and the waves are chasing each other. However, when the water rises three times, the tide must recede. The Qin State has been fighting for years, and the people's strength has been reduced. Exhausted, the soldiers are tired of fighting, and it is the last wave that is about to overflow the embankment. To surrender at this time is to face the water when the torrent overflows, and you will be swept away; if you fight to the death, you will hit the stone with an egg and block the car with the mantis' arms. " He offered his last strategy: "Send envoys to Qin, willing to serve as a 'vassal state' for the Qin State. They will not call themselves kings, but only kings. They will pay tribute every year, but retain the ancestral temple and people of Wei State. This move may seem humiliating, but in fact it is to go down the river and avoid its edge - before the flood peak recedes, guard your own embankment and preserve the fire of Wei State." Wei Jun had no other choice but to act according to his plan. Unexpectedly, King Qin Yingzheng made an exception and agreed. He looked at Wei Guo's surrender letter and said with a smile: "Wei Guo is weak, but it can survive in troubled times. It must be helped by experts. I keep Wei Guo so that the world can see it. Those who submit to the Qin Dynasty can also preserve the ancestral temple." In this way, Wei Guo became the only small country that survived after the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were destroyed. After Qin unified the world, Ji Menyan resigned and went into seclusion. Before leaving, he left a bamboo slip to Wei Jun. On the front of the bamboo slips, there are sixteen characters written: avoid disaster at the peak of the flood, gain momentum in the dry water, go with the flow, and stop when the good comes. On the back, there are a few seemingly ordinary water-watching mantras, but they convey the true meaning of survival in troubled times: - A strong country resorts to militarism, like a surging torrent, and it will collapse at the end of the day - A strong enemy is frustrated, like a torrent passing through the border, do not rush to block it, just watch its flow - A weak country is dormant and waiting, like dry water in a pond. When the spring flood arrives, it rises with the trend - The rise of a small country takes three steps, like a slow stream that rises three times. It recedes when the tide comes. Don't be greedy for power. Once a strong country declines, it is like a dike bursting and water leaking out. If there is no foundation, it will be destroyed. When it accumulates strength, it is like a trickle flowing into a pond, holding back. When it is at its peak, it is like a flood peak ebbing, retreating. Many years later, Ji Menyan's former residence collapsed, and this scroll of bamboo slips was lost among the people. Only then did the world understand that the way of survival of this lonely minister of the Warring States Period was actually hidden in the rise and fall of the Pu River. And the law of the jungle in troubled times has never been about the weak and the strong, but about knowing the water, following the flow, and not being greedy for power. Just like the last words Ji Menyan said to his descendants before his death: "The chess game in this world is never won by a moment of killing, but by a lifetime of defense - just like controlling water, go with the flow and keep your heart, so that you can last long."

Chapter 3 Mysterious Code Gift from the Stock God The self in the mirror looks like a different person. The white hair has been trimmed into distinct layers and the edges are clear. Even the beard has been trimmed into an internationally popular fashion style. Not the wrinkled shirt that smells a little bit of sweat, but also the big and baggy canvas pants. Just looking at his face, it is obvious that he is a successful person who has been through battles for a long time, a handsome man who is going to enter the entertainment industry. Lin Qi stared blankly at himself in the mirror, feeling dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the past. "How about it, Brother Lin, you are so handsome, you look like a stock god, a star-like stock god!" Hongyan didn't know whether she was excited for her own masterpiece or for the man in front of her. She looked left and right, looking around at Lin Qi, fearing that one of her hairs had not been repaired! "I really don't know what to say, thank you, Hongyan!" Lin Qi's nose felt a little sour for a moment. It was the first time that she was looked at sincerely by such a man. His eyes were like black holes, as if they contained endless mystery and temptation, and wanted people to explore. Her face was slightly hot, as if she was about to turn red! That is a girl's fantasy and longing for love! "It's a small thing. I just created this hairstyle, and I used you to test it. Fortunately, it was successful. It was you who gave me this opportunity!" Hongyan said quickly to cover up! "There is a famous saying that no reward comes without reward. If you insist on not accepting my money, then I will repay you in return. Do you have paper and pen?" Lynch said seriously. "Wait a moment, Brother Lin!" Hongyan turned and walked towards the drawer on the counter. Her back is so beautiful and graceful, her hair is as dark as a waterfall, her voice is sweet, her conversation is elegant and subtle, she is so young! There was a moment that made him suspect that she was just like Shangguan Li'er, his ex-wife! The woman he was determined to divorce while he was still in prison. Yes, it's not her fault. He shouldn't have been dragging her down in prison, and he also had a newborn child. He didn't even leave any family property to them.
