Chapter 39: On War (2)

"Brother Zhang, don't you think that these words you wrote are too cruel and cold-blooded?" Wang Jin almost struggled to suppress the killing intent in his heart, and even so, his dissatisfaction was beyond words.

In his opinion, the essence and appearance of the war described by Zhang Yue on this bamboo slip are too cold and straightforward.

To put it bluntly, even if it is told to an illiterate person, you can understand the horror and cruelty contained in it!

Anyway, he couldn't accept such a reality.

It is also contrary to the moral outlook and outlook on life that he has heard and seen since he was a child.

In the young Wang Jin's heart, war, at best, should be a battle like the time of Zong Zhou.

The humble gentlemen, dressed in crown robes, told the ancestors and gods, denounced the immorality and sins of the enemy, and then raised the righteous teachers to cut them down.

Before fighting the enemy, you must first write a war letter and declare the world.

Expose the sins of your enemies to the public.

Then fight a dignified battle with the enemy at the agreed place and time.

Before the battle, the gentlemen of our army should drive forward, send their troops to the enemy, and impassionedly issue a declaration of war, so that the enemy's morale will fall.

In the course of war, although each side is the master of each side, it should also follow ancient morals and traditions.

No drums, no columns, no serious injuries, no injuries.

This is the ideal war.

A romantic war, a gentleman's war.

And the words on the bamboo slips in his hand, don't say anything about the gentleman's war.

The tactics used by all the most despicable generals in history are probably not as cruel as those expounded in the words of this book!

The text on this bamboo slip uses the most simple, straightforward and utilitarian ideas to tell the truth of the war - in order to win, it is correct to use any means.

In comparison, Wu Qi can probably be called a gentleman, and even Bai Qi can become a kind and cute little white rabbit.

Let's see what is being said on this bamboo slip, right?

"War is an act of violence that imposes our will on the enemy, and the most effective way to achieve this is to deprive the enemy of the power and ......will to resist."

"The best way to make the enemy lose the strength and will to resist is to make the enemy's situation even more miserable by any means and at any cost!"

"So...... We should use as many means as we can to strike at and limit the enemy's ......"

"In order to defeat the enemy, we should first measure the enemy's resistance as much as possible, and then use greater force to defeat it as much as possible, and the enemy's resistance is the result of the multiplication of two interrelated factors...... The number of ways of resistance of the enemy and the strength of the resistance ......"

"The methods we use may also be adopted by the enemy, so from a purely conceptual point of view, the war will certainly tend to be extreme ......"

What is this?

There is no mention of moral righteousness, not even a cover-up!

A naked declaration - in war, in order to win, any means can be used!

In order to win, all means should be encouraged!

If the Han army used these ideas as guidance, then what was the difference between it and the tiger and wolf army of the tyrannical Qin?

"Cruel? Cold-blooded? Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this: "Is it possible that Brother Wang still wants to be merciful to the enemy?" ”

"Even if the enemy is Yidi, you have to talk about benevolence and morality with him?"

"Why not?" Wang Jin said: "Brother Zhang didn't hear: when Shun, there were Miao who did not accept it, Yu will cut it down, Shun said that it is impossible, it is to cultivate virtue for three years, to do Qi dance, and there are Miao to serve ......"

"The ancient holy king, with benevolence and virtue, subdued Yidi, and there was a country of three thousand miles to ......"

"Three generations of masters, cultivating virtue and life, so the sea is peaceful ......"

"Wouldn't it be beautiful if my Han family cultivated virtue and virtue, and in a distant country and the people of Yidi, they also added benevolence and virtue to their hearts, so that they would abandon their lives and follow goodness?"

"Hahaha......" Zhang Yue laughed, there are still people who believe that they can influence the enemy by virtue of benevolence? This Wang Jin is really simple.

It seems that there must be something wrong with his family's education.

"What is Brother Zhang laughing at?" Wang Jin has a serious face, in his cognition, in the education he has received since childhood.

The world has been far away from benevolence and morality for a long time.

The generals in the court, in order to pursue military merits and disregard the people's livelihood, used troops on a large scale again and again.

The teachers once told him that it was only during the Tianhan Dynasty that he was leviing Dawan.

The state requisitioned 180,000 people at one time, and the Son of Heaven issued seven branches in the world.

Tens of thousands of gold and more than 100,000 yuan of gold in the treasury of Shaofu.

Just to support the expeditionary force of the second division general, 100,000 cattle were allocated at one time for military needs.

The battle of Dawan was fought twice, for several years before and after, and countless people were consumed.

In the end, the state only got thousands of so-called Dawan horses and the head of a Dawan king.

Tens of thousands of soldiers buried their bones in the Western Regions.

Their blood only stained the ribbons of a few people such as the Second Division General red.

The country and the people have nothing to gain.

Therefore, stopping the war and recuperating is the most beneficial thing for the world.

In his consciousness, he even had the idea that as long as the war was stopped, most of the world's affairs would be resolved.

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Jin, thinking about the old man, scratching his head, shouldn't be!

Although he didn't have much contact with the mysterious old man, Zhang Yue knew very well that the other party was definitely a realistic egoist.

Moreover, what he said that day, the other party obviously agreed with and appreciated.

But how did he have such a grandchild?

In Zhang Yue's eyes, this Wang Jin can already be compared to the simple young people who were brainwashed by the public in later generations.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yue decided to correct his thoughts and correct the unrealistic simple fantasies in his mind.

It's time to repay the other party!

So, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Brother Wang has read the Book of Songs?" ”

"Hmm...... I have read it......" Although Wang Jin didn't understand why Zhang Yue suddenly asked this question, he still nodded.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yue asked again.

"Zhong Ni said: Three hundred poems, thinking is innocent, and it is the truth!" Wang Jin bowed his head and said proudly.

"What about the I Ching?" Zhang Yue asked again.

"The Book of the Holy King, the Book of Eternity......" Wang Jin said, raising his head.

"However, "Poetry" cloud: stupid and barbaric, the big state is the enemy. Uncle Fang, the elder, is strong. Uncle Fang took the lead and was ugly. The car is like thunder, like thunder. Uncle Xianyun Fang, conquer the Xuanxi, and the barbarian Jing will come to ......"

"Youyun: Hehe Nanzhong, Bova Xirong ......"

"Yi Yun: The king went out on the expedition, and he was honored and his head was broken, and he was ugly, and he was not to blame!"

"Whether it is the first king or the holy king, they all teach our generation: kill Yidi, preach the royal way, educate the world, no matter what means are used, they will be praised, praised, commemorated, remembered, and longed!"

"There are still Nanzhong shrines in Guanzhong, and there are temples of Uncle Fang......"

"This is proof!"
