Chapter Seventy-Six: The Reasoning Is Unconvincing
The three of them sat down, and General Hu said: "This seventeenth prince has never served anyone, but he can learn so sensibly under the imperial envoy, the imperial envoy is not simple!"
Perhaps the seventeenth prince came out to travel and felt the hardships of the people, and realized that life was not easy, so he grew up a lot. ”
"Yes!" General Hu let go of tea and asked, "I wonder what the Imperial Envoy wants to see when he comes to visit today?"
"Don't dare. It's just a way to break the enemy. ”
"Oh? ”
"A few days ago, the Seventeenth Prince and I have killed three generals of the Xihe Rebel Army, severely damaging the enemy's command system, how can General Nai Shi not grasp the fighter, but was bitten by a mad dog in a hurry, it's a pity!"
Therefore, the emperor specially explained that this operation must cooperate with the imperial envoy and resolve the Xihe war as soon as possible. ”
Hearing him say this, the ghost ghost was a lot more relieved, and said, "Then I will tell you my plan and plan." The enemy is now at the end of their crossbows, and capturing Huyuan Mountain is their last struggle. But even so, if you attack it from the front, it will still take a lot of effort. I have a plan here, but I can take down the Xihe rebel army without blood. ”
"What's the idea?"
"As a result of my previous actions, I have developed a preponderance in the enemy army. Now, if I convince them again, I believe that they will surrender in less than three days. After all, they can't afford to lose three more generals. ”
"Hmm!" General Hu groaned, his brows furrowed.
The ghost ghost is clear.
Suddenly, General Hu frowned and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy is really extraordinary! A mere rebel army in Xihe is really not in the eyes of the Imperial Envoy. Okay, then there's the Imperial Envoy Lao. If I succeed, I will definitely report the credit of the Imperial Envoy. ”
Ghost Yuzi said: "What should be done." It's just that I have a request. ”
"What do you want, but it doesn't hurt!"
"After they have surrendered, do not kill. ”
General Hu frowned, what he was thinking about just now was the question of how to deal with this group of rebels after they surrendered, he originally wanted to wait for them to surrender and then kill them all, who knew that he was seen through by the ghost ghost, this person is really not simple.
"Your Excellency, do you know the reason why the tiger returns to the mountain?"
"This is not a tiger returning to the mountain, but a tiger with wings!"
"These barbarians are capricious, and their words cannot be trusted, and perhaps as soon as we walk on our front feet, they will put up their banners again. ”
"It is precisely because of your prejudices against them that today's situation has been brought about, don't the generals repent and reflect on themselves? Barbarians are also human beings! They have their own set of beliefs, their own way of life, and their own moral customs, but they are different from the Han people, so why do you think that you are superior to them?"
"Hmph! The Han people have been inherited for thousands of years, and the etiquette and music education have been widely used in the Central Plains, how can they be compared to their barbarian tribe?"
"Heh! What is the result? Just inherit and educate such narrow-minded people as Youer?! Confucius Ziyun: "Do you have friends from afar, don't you also say it?" Why don't you listen to this broad-minded word of benevolence and righteousness? Think that the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty had the ambition to encompass the universe and the four seas, and the Tang Dynasty was the center of heaven and earth, accepting tribute from all directions, while the dignified Heavenly Kingdom could not accommodate even a small Yi clan, which really damaged the face of the Heavenly Kingdom! Besides, have you considered the consequences of killing and surrendering soldiers? If the general kills all of them, not only will Xihe's wives have no hope for their husbands, their children will have no fathers to rely on, and the elderly will have no children to support, but they will also leave an extremely bad image on the people of Xihe, and will even arouse the rebellious feelings of the people of Xihe, thus causing the next wave of turmoil! This will do all kinds of harm to the Celestial Empire but not any good! Therefore, I believe that we should adopt a policy of softness and leniency toward the Xihe rebels. ”
"The kindness of a woman!" General Hu was refuted with reason, but he couldn't let go, so he had to take a tough attitude, "You have never seen a poor and sour person in the world, but you have some good hands and feet to become this imperial envoy, how can you know the cruelty of war? If you want to do this, according to my will, if you don't, I can also take Xihe within a month!"
"If the general insists on this, then there is nothing to talk about. Oniyuko snorted coldly and walked away.
The seventeenth prince wanted to stop the master, but it didn't help, and they couldn't talk together, although he supported the master.
Alas, it's so uncomfortable to be caught in the middle!
The seventeenth prince sighed, arched his hand, and left: Even the master's words can't convince him, so what can I use to convince him?
The seventeenth prince chased after him and said, "Master, don't be angry, this time I heard that the imperial court also sent a general, General Yue." As far as I know, this person is well versed in the art of war and is well-versed in reason. Maybe you can talk to him. ”
Ghost Youzi sighed and said, "The Celestial Empire is really getting more and more chilling!" The Seventeenth Prince felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, he deeply understood what the Master said, and what the Celestial Empire army did in Xihe really made the Master feel cold. The Seventeenth Prince only has a master in his eyes, so he takes it for granted that the 'person' mentioned by the ghost ghost son is the master.
The Seventeenth Prince said, "Master! Alas, I have made amends to you on their behalf. As he spoke, he apologized to the ghost.
Ghost Youzi hurriedly stopped: "I'm not talking about me, I can't represent the people, and you can't represent the court, what's the point of your move?"
The Seventeenth Prince was silent.
Ghost Youzi said again: "You and I have nothing to avoid as a master and apprentice. I'll be blunt with you, the Celestial Empire is prosperous, but in fact, it is extraordinary, and it is ruined!"
"Huh?" The Seventeenth Prince didn't believe it, he thought that these were just local phenomena, and most of them were quite good from the perspective of the whole country, "How is it possible? The Celestial Empire is still very strong! Didn't you also participate in the Shanghe Enclosure? You see how magnificent the army of the Celestial Empire is! Although there have been some wars recently, this is not enough to shake the foundation of the Celestial Empire! Will the master be a little biased?" Although the Seventeenth Prince knew that Master would not speak nonsense, he was extremely reluctant to believe what Master said, after all, he was still a member of the most noble and supreme family in the Celestial Empire.
The ghost sighed, he didn't want to talk about the rise and fall of the Celestial Empire anymore, but turned to another topic: "Disciple! You must know that everything in the world is illusory! Persist in the illusory, and eventually die out in the illusory! You don't have any superior thoughts, 'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs' The reason why you are rich and noble is not the favor of God, everything is caused by karma! You are the fruit of the previous life, the cause of the next life, and that's it!"
The Seventeenth Prince moved slightly, and seemed to have realized: Yes, what is the difference between himself and those wandering beggars?
Ghost Yuzi continued: "If you want to get rid of these causes and conditions, and do not enter reincarnation, there is only one way to cultivate! You and I are masters and apprentices, I really can't bear to see you continue to sink into illusion, so I have a heart to allocate to you, whether you can succeed or not, depends on your own creation. ”
The Seventeenth Prince nodded, but his heart was very entangled, he knew that the master was hinting to him: If you want to follow him and continue to cultivate, you have to give up your self in this life! But he can't give up his identity, his brothers and sisters, his father, his mother... He can't give it all up!!
Knowing that he was still difficult to decide, Ghost Youzi stopped persuading and said, "Where is General Yue?"
The seventeenth prince said, "I'll take you there!" and the two of them went to another peak of Feihe Mountain.
"General, the Seventeenth Prince and the Imperial Envoy ask to meet!"
General Yue thought for a while, understood a little, and said, "Please!"
