438: The Purpose of War
"It's the first time I've heard someone say that the marquis is as relaxed as you. ”
Since being recruited by the mysterious lady and taking the offer to join the "Feng Family Army", Li Shu feels that his life plan for the first thirty-six years has been unpredictably derailed. Especially after being rescued by Pei Ye, not only was his life derailed, but even his three views were shattered.
Dive headlong into the unknown and crumbling future, and no one knows what lies ahead.
Fortunately, Li Shu has spent twenty-four years traveling around various countries, with a wide range of knowledge, a strong ability to accept new things, a strong curiosity, and a strong desire to explore, if Pei Ye's matter is known to someone other than Li Shu—such as Duan Ganqi—maybe Duan Ganqi has begun to doubt himself, instead of being a temporary seat for Pei Ye like Li Shu, accepting good things and actively contacting the unknown.
"The scenery that people see at the foot of the mountain is always different from the scenery that they see at the top of the mountain. ”
After hearing this, Li Shu was stunned for a few breaths before he smiled bitterly: "What do you mean by this-I am standing at the foot of the mountain, in the deep mountains and dense forests, even if I can get out, I will spare a lot of detours, and even starve to death and die of exhaustion halfway, and you stand on the top of the mountain, can your eyes see the way out?"
Pei Ye's fingers stiffened.
"You take this statement too extremely, and I never feel like I can see a real way out. Every path has been measured by countless people's feet, and what I see with my eyes is only what I have experienced, not the most suitable. Such blind and arrogant self-confidence is annoying to anyone, and I mean - my strength stands on the top of the mountain rather than the view. ”
Is there any difference between the two?
Li Shu set his puzzled gaze on Pei Ye, hoping that she could solve her doubts.
Pei Ye scratched his cheek and said the truth that he might be slapped by Li Shu.
"To give a popular example - for example, an ordinary person can kill an adult with a sword, and after years of practice, he can kill a person with a sword in ten steps, and I - without considering the emergency, I can kill 100 people in one step and 100,000 people in 100 steps. The man at the foot of the mountain stepped on a corpse, and I stood on the top of the mountain, and my feet were full of bones piled up by the enemy. You know how to describe it? The brain is not strong enough to make it up. ”
Lishu: "......"
Pei Ye continued: "I have never underestimated anyone, including you in front of me. Even if your strength is indeed weak, your brain is good. Although I have not deliberately concealed it, it is also wise that you can discover my secrets in detail, and even absorb and accept things that are completely beyond your knowledge in a very short time. Otherwise, why are you and not Qin Shao or Shen Sang?"
Li Shu raised his hand to support his forehead, and his palm slid down to cover his eyes.
"The old man understands what you mean by your phrase 'the most invulnerable tactic is to kill all the enemies'. ”
If she was angry and killed all Chaoxia's enemies, Chaoxia would indeed be saved.
An unassailable tactic indeed...... What a fart!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Li Shu said with a calm face: "You really shouldn't meddle in the affairs of Chaoxia and other countries, and even if you do, you shouldn't use that kind of extraordinary means." ”
Without waiting for Pei Ye to ask why, Li Shu took the initiative to give an answer.
"In your opinion, what is war for?"
Pei Ye twisted his eyebrows and said: "There are too many purposes of war, some take the initiative to start a war in order to divert internal contradictions, some use troops to plunder external resources, and some passively resist the enemy's aggression and go to the battlefield...... In the final analysis, it is all about resolving the contradiction between friend and foe. ”
Li Shu's eyelids jumped twice.
For the first time, he looked at the person in front of him with a completely level gaze.
The young man has eaten well recently, and his yellowed and slightly sunken cheeks have flesh, looking a little less of the boredom caused by emaciation, and a little more of the young man's unique youthful vigor - but Pei Ye's momentum is different from that of Qin Shao and them - when getting along with her, even Li Shu always forgets her age, and subconsciously thinks that she is a peer who can talk to her on an equal footing, not a child with a general horn.
"You think my participation will be a breach of fairness?"
Li Shu shook his head: "Not to mention that justice is unfair, the struggle of various countries is already exhaustive. ”
No one has stipulated that war cannot be fought by means other than mortals, and war is fought for victory, so who cares what victory is relied on?
"The old man agrees with you, the war between countries is to solve the existing hidden dangers. War is not the only means to solve hidden dangers, but it is definitely the quickest, most efficient, and most useful means. It is true that you can use those inhuman means to achieve the feat of killing 100 people in one step and 100,000 people in 100 steps, although you can exchange for a temporary peace, but the existing problems have not been solved, and the war will return. ”
It does not mean that victory in war is victory, but that the achievement of the purpose of waging war is the real victory.
He also said: "If you take Yan Huoluo as an example, the purpose of Yan Huoluo's attack on Chaoxia is for gold and silver, for good land, and for women, gold and silver can create a stronger army of tigers and wolves, and the grain produced by good land can feed more people and strong soldiers and horses, and women can give birth to more newborns for them." These are all lacking in the barren Yan Huoluo, so they will attack the waning Chaoxia for these things. If you assist Yan Huoluo to help them win the battle and annihilate Chaoxia's 'Feng Family Army', the gold and silver, fertile land, and women you want most are not available, that is, the hidden dangers are not solved, what will happen to Yan Huoluo? In the same way, you helped Chaoxia to win, but the Chaoxia factions and party struggles, up to the court and down to everywhere, no problems were solved, and Chaoxia would still destroy the country in the end, and it would be destroyed by his own hands. ”
To sum up, force can solve the enemy, but it cannot solve the contradictions.
"If you're just trying to get the officials to buy your green hat, you don't have to go this route, you're going to kill more innocent people. ”
Lesh recognized the inevitable sacrifices of the war between the two countries, but he did not approve of meaningless casualties.
This is his principle.
Because of his principles, he would take the risk of spreading the news that the "Feng Family Army" had been deceived into transferring troops to Bancheng, and he would also persuade Pei Ye to give up for this.
Indeed, only when the contradictions are completely resolved can the people achieve peace in the true sense. Pei Ye smiled in a very good mood, "But Mr. is not a prophet, how do you know that I can't do both?"
Although the important thing is -
“...... Furthermore, when manpower is poor, it is normal to not be perfect. But ......" Pei Ye paused, his expression was unprecedentedly firm, his eyes were as hot as the summer sun, making people dare not look directly at him, "Why can't you trust and trust others to make up for the rest of the circle, and all the unsatisfactory in the circle?"
Li Shu was stunned.
Pei Ye pretended to be disappointed: "It seems that Mr. has never trusted me subconsciously, but I believe in Mr. so much - I believe that Mr. and other like-minded people will unite and work together to break the deformed world, I see hope in you." ”
Rash sat down in distraction.
There was no sound in heaven and earth, except for the strong beating of his chest, agitating his eardrums.
