Hearing what the Liao generals said, this group of people was also very puzzled, they knew that this group of people were insidious and cunning characters, if it was true, they couldn't say that, if it was fake, if it affected the overall situation, it would not be a great thing for their group of people, some things looked delicious, but the middle was poisonous! A lot of things are also good things to think about a little more.

To put it in his heart, so many people came here, he Xiao Xiaomu didn't count in his heart, it was not so easy to persuade them to surrender, now the Great Liao soldiers are coming to the city, even if they are now using war horses to occupy this place, but it is indeed very difficult to have no hearts, although he knows that they have problems now and want to consult himself, but he did not show his attitude, what a person is most afraid of is that he shows his own attitude, it is easy to lose people's hearts and minds in the world, but it is simple, this group of people are now preoccupied. I didn't say what the attitude was after that, although it was not so easy for them to surrender now, and it was easy, but if the worst plan was not to lose some people, it would not be a good thing for the country, and it would not be a good thing for them to lose the hearts and minds of the people when the time came? So he himself also thinks twice, thinks about it, and then makes a decision just in case!

The group of soldiers also spoke to him very skeptically: "How do we know if what you said is true, my lord, and there are you Khitan people who are cunning and shameless, and your words never count, and you never know which sentence is true and which is false, in case you deceive us, after we surrender, and then embarrass us, what good will it do us like that?" When the time comes, I am afraid that it will only be you, and there will be only bad things for us. ”

Xiao Xiaomu's subordinate Ma Huiwen also smiled and said: "It's very easy for our Da Liao to deal with you, our fire-breathing bomb is very big, if we want to lie to you, we would have killed you a long time ago, why bother to tell you so much nonsense, the reason why our generals don't kill you is because our Da Liao doesn't want to make more killings, I know you don't believe it, but these words are all things that benefit us every time we attack, if you still don't believe it, you can go to Lanzhou to inquire, how does our Da Liao treat them?" How are you treated? Our Da Liao is the master of kings, how can we do such a deceitful thing? If we want to deceive you, how can we use your lives to deceive you, we are doing things in Daliao and paying attention to integrity, based on integrity, which you have carefully inquired about all of them? ”

Xiao Xiaomu also smiled and said: "He is right, these words are all told by the emperor that the emperor asked me to convey to you, the emperor is merciful by nature, he refuses to kill more, he told us to treat you as a family, our Daliao is a strong country today, if you want to be kind to the world, you must give enough kindness?" These things are what we should give you, this time to save people we are also adhering to the benevolence of Da Liao, this time the tax is a major event of our country, how can I use such a thing to deceive you, when did your court reduce or reduce taxes for you ordinary people, this time we Da Liao gave so many things, it is enough to see how sincere our Da Liao is, people are not sincere to negotiate is just an empty word, we are enough to express our sincerity, This time, the sincerity of our Da Liao is here, no matter what you think of our Khitan, but I believe that as long as we are sincere and sincere for your sake, what the result is, you all have eyes, and our Da Liao also hopes to exchange sincerity for sincerity, and truly be true friends with the people of the Central Plains. Someone came to bring things to everyone, and let them see if our Da Liao was sincere. I swear here that if any of my Da Liao soldiers dare to rob your people's finances, they will all be decided, and the emperor will let us come to Da Liao to give an account to the people of the world, and I hope that this time you can see our Da Liao's sincerity. ”

At this time, the army of the Liao kings showed that their group of soldiers handed them the money, which made them even more excited, the Central Plains proverb called the proverb is called seeing is believing, hearing is false, what the ears hear may not be false, but what the eyes see must be the truth. After Xiao Xiaomu of Liaoguo gave them the money, he also reflected a sentence, that is, he was excited, and now they also said thank you marshal. It's such a simple reward that lets them know what it means to be heartfelt, what is called the one who wins the hearts of the people to win the world, the real truth of this sentence, now everything is as usual, as for where the seed goes, they don't care, now the normal operation of Chang'an, most of the soldiers in this group have decided to take refuge in my Daliao, as for the result, we can only look forward to the future situation? However, today's events also just show how reasonable the sentence of people's hearts is to back, in the eyes of the people, there are only benefits, food and clothing, and it is much easier for them to be able to eat than any other thing, which is why the hearts of these people are so important.

In ancient times, some ancient sayings have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and countless latecomers have verified their truth with experience. But is the wise saying necessarily true? For example, the sentence "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world", can everyone really sit on the world?

Indeed, in most historical contexts, this statement is true.

However, it takes time to win the hearts and minds of the rulers, and the benefits that the hearts of the people bring to the rulers are also long-term and hidden. Let's take the end of the Qin Dynasty as an example, when all forces were divided and the world was in turmoil, it would not be wise for the leaders to blindly win over the people regardless of the form. Therefore, the truly effective way at this time is to attract talents and make good use of them.

It can be said that in this special period, "people's hearts" are far less important than "talents".

Since ancient times, successful people often have the quality of knowing people and making good use of them, and the world-famous "Four Princes" during the Warring States Period are typical of them. They have a large number of doormen, as long as there is a skilled person, they will be included in it, the four gentlemen are respectful to this group of people, and even, sometimes in order to win over talents, they are very hypocritical.

One day, Zhao Guo Pingyuanjun found that the number of doormen under his seat was becoming scarcer, so he hurriedly inquired with this group of doormen: "Why are there more doormen and fewer doormen recently?" Could it be that what I am doing is wrong? ”

The next person from Pingyuan-kun's door replied: "Pingyuan-kun's beauty has offended a doorman, this doorman is physically disabled and is a cripple, we all think that Pingyuan-kun loves beautiful women more than doormen, so we are also going to leave you." ”

Hirahara-kun hurriedly investigated the cause of the matter, and it turned out that Hirahara-kun's house was built on the side of the street, and his beauties would occasionally look at the street scene from the window. When Pingyuan Jun's favorite beauty was looking at the scenery, he saw a lame man carrying water walking in the distance, because this person was sick and his posture was not very elegant, so he smiled.

In fact, this beauty had no other meaning, but she was taken to heart by this doorman, and reported to Pingyuanjun the next day, saying: Pingyuanjun's concubine has damaged her dignity and asked Pingyuanjun to deal with it, but Pingyuanjun didn't take this little matter to heart at that time.

The doorman was a little cautious, and seeing that Pingyuanjun was indifferent, he created public opinion in the doorman circle, so it was rumored that Pingyuanjun loved beauties more than Menke, and in the end, Pingyuanjun's doormen became scarcer and rarer. After figuring out the situation, Pingyuanjun immediately ordered the killing of the poor beauty who was smiling, and this action caused the disciples to return to his disciples.

Although Pingyuanjun is a little hypocritical to this group of disciples, these disciples really played a lot of roles at critical moments. After Handan was besieged, the state of Chu refused to raise troops to rescue, at this time the doorman Mao then stood out, and really said that the king of Chu was moved to rescue him, and made a miraculous contribution to the state of Zhao.

In addition to Pingyuanjun, there is also a Meng Weijun among the four princes, who also relied on the doorman to consolidate his position. Meng Weijun's disciples are all kinds of strange, some can bark dogs, drill dog holes, and learn to crow, it is this group of strange people who helped him escape, so as not to end up in the Qin State.

Many people say that Meng Yanjun is commendable in knowing people and making good use of them, but Wang Anshi doesn't think so, he thinks that Meng Yanjun is just the leader of a group of thieves, and he is not worthy of being called a person who knows people and makes good use of them. The Qi State is strong, and only one real talent is needed to defeat the Qin State, where is this group of thieves needed?

Therefore, when the really capable people see that this group of chickens and dog thieves under Meng Yanjun is in full swing, they will definitely not join Meng Yanjun's disciples and sit on an equal footing with this group of guys.

Mr. Wang Anshi's remarks are personally very pertinent. In the history of our country, there was a ruler who had a sage to create a country, and he was Liu Bei, the king of Shu at the end of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei will not befriend those weirdos like Meng Weijun, but find the most virtuous person in the world, and then humbly invite him into the court.

Zhuge Liang is indeed a peerless talent, and before he came out, he had already proposed the theory of dividing the world to the lord, and analyzed the future situation very thoroughly. After becoming a minister, this virtuous minister dedicated his life to the Shu Kingdom, helping the lord to create something out of nothing, establishing imperial power, and even having a tendency to annex the world in his heyday.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang is the best example of Mr. Wang Anshi's remarks.

King Yan Zhao once heard his subordinate Guo Kui tell a story about buying horse bones, and King Zhao followed the example of his predecessors and built a golden platform to recruit sages. King Yan Zhao's heart of seeking talent was spread all over the Central Plains, and capable people with lofty ideals came from all over the country to join King Zhao. Le Yi was the most capable of this group of sages, and King Zhao valued him very much, and ordered Le Yi to lead the Yan soldiers to attack the Qi State, and almost destroyed the Qi State.

After that, King Yan Zhao not only avenged his revenge for destroying the country, but also included a large piece of Qi land into the territory of Yan State.

Qi Huan is the prime minister, the princes of Jiuhe, the world is a Kuang, and Qi is the first power and overlord in the world. As a result, if he lost Guan Zhong, he lost his hegemony, and even failed to bury him three months after his death. Wei Wenhou used Li Kui's reform to make the country rich and strong, and later, Wu Qi seized the Hexi land of Qin and Zhongshan with Leyang. During the Warring States period, Wei was the first country to become strong, and it can be said that this was the result of his heavy use of talents.

There are also some examples that prove that the importance of "talent" is far more important than "people's hearts". No matter how wise and determined any monarch is, if he treats talents and returns the pearls, he will definitely perish. Even if he is a street ruffian, if he knows how to use people well, he is likely to make a big career. Here, aside from the later measures of cooking dogs and rabbits, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are the best examples.

In ancient times, the importance of people's hearts was no worse than now, which is why Yelulong continued to mention people's hearts, in his opinion, only if he won the hearts of the people, in order to win the world, if he didn't even have his own people's hearts, how to win the world, but the matter of Chang'an has finally come to an end, the real battlefield of Chang'an is slowly ending, and the situation in Luoyang has really just begun?
