Chapter 832: The Law of the Saints
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Sun Jing frowned and covered her nose, revealing a strong sense of disgust.
Sun Ce didn't say anything more, he knew that Sun Jing didn't like this kind of life and reluctantly came. The fourth brother Sun Kuang also has this temperament, he likes to stay at home and study, and letting him practice martial arts is like killing him. Of course, if it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't want to lead the troops to fight, who would want to get up before dawn to practice martial arts. Occasionally a day or two is fine, but doing it every day is indeed a test of will.
But how can this world lack soldiers, and if there are no soldiers who endure hardship, how can there be peace? If it is excusable from the perspective of political balance and the social atmosphere is like this, there will only be one result: being abused thousands of times until the country and species are destroyed.
Although the country is big, it will be dangerous to forget the war.
So Sun Ce can understand Sun Jing's personal hobbies, but he is extremely disgusted with the self-righteousness of literati. Although the literati at the end of the Han Dynasty were not as exaggerated as the literati of the later Jin Dynasty and the Two Song Dynasty, and there were still many people like Shen You and Yu Tuo, the bad signs had already sprouted, and what Sun Ce had to do was to strangle this sprout and reproduce the morale of both civil and military.
"Uncle, go rest." Sun Ce politely sent Sun Jing away.
Sun Jing answered, hung her head, turned around and walked out. Sun Wei stood still. Sun Jing didn't pay attention to it either, and walked straight away. Sun Ce looked at Sun Hui. Although Sun Wei's face was not very good-looking, he gritted his teeth and stared at the corpse on the ground.
"Why don't you go to rest?"
"Brother, I'm ...... I think...... Army. ”
"You want to join the army?" Sun Ce was surprised. This is not like Sun Jing's son.
"Well, I want to be like Ah Quan, follow Brother Ah to conquer and learn how to use soldiers."
"Will you say yes?"
Sun Wei showed a sly look. "If Brother agrees, I'll say it now."
Sun Ce thought about it and decided to give Sun Wei a chance. Clans are also capital, one of the most reliable forces. After all, blood is thicker than water, and when starting a business, the clan plays a pivotal role. Why is Liu Bei pitiful? It's not because he doesn't have the support of the clan's strength, it's just that Zhang Zhao is available. "I can promise you, but you have to think clearly, the barracks are hard and dangerous. You can try it for a few days, and if it doesn't work, go home and study. ”
"Okay, okay." Sun Wei nodded again and again, and ran out happily.
Sun Ce took over the barracks and immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter. It turned out to be suspicious soldiers, more than 1,000 people divided into several large battalions, and now there is an enemy attacking, and dispersing the troops is equivalent to letting the other side break through. Sun Ce ordered everyone to shrink the whole army, except for the large camp of the Chinese army and the baggage battalion, all the other barracks were demolished, and the materials were gathered for other purposes. This project is not small, but Sun Ce asked the generals to race against time and carry it out overnight.
The generals did not dare to slack off, and immediately returned to the camp to carry out the order.
Sun Ce adjusted the scouts again, and sent additional secret sentries to strictly prevent the other party from raiding, such a thing as Tai Shi Ci sneaking near the camp must not happen again.
Sun Ce was busy until midnight, and then he lay down with his clothes. Because he was worried about the night attack, not only did he not take off his battle robe, but he also did not take off his battle armor, and the war knife was resting at his hand and within reach. Yu Xuan didn't dare to be careless, in order to be able to respond in time, he rested in the big tent of the Chinese army and moved a marching bed. It is probably the first time I have encountered this situation, or it may be that I am not used to sleeping without taking off my clothes, so Yu can't fall asleep and tosses and turns in bed. He was afraid of disturbing Sun Ce, so he was cautious every time, but in the dead of night, it was still very loud.
"You move yours, I can sleep." Sun Ce closed his eyes and said suddenly.
Yu was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed at first, and then relieved again. "The general is not asleep either?"
"I'm asleep, but it's lighter." Sun Ce opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent, and after a while, he turned to Yu Fu and said with a smile: "You're not used to it, right?" ”
"I'm not used to it." Yu was lying flat, his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes looking at the sky. "My father was a Nisan Taishou, and I lived with him in Nisan for a few years. When there was a rebellion in Japan, he led his troops to conquer, and I marched with him. The conditions in Nichinan are very poor, but they are also better than those in the general's place. ”
"You've been to Nichinan before. How Nichinan is, let's hear it. ”
"A bunch of barbarians, what is there to say." Yu sneered: "Four years of Taishou, just because there was a rebellion in office, he couldn't be promoted, but he fell ill, and he didn't reach the sixtieth birthday, but he was as old as an ancient man." Later, I also figured out that with the conditions of my Yu family, it is not easy to have 2,000 stones, and it is too difficult to go up again. Without the support of nobles, the three princes are hopeless. In the eyes of the Central Plains family, Huiji is a barbarian land, how can there be three dukes. ”
"Is your Yu family related to Yu Shun?"
Yu Pan grinned and said with a smile: "I heard that the general asked Lu Kang and others to retell the history of Wuhui, which goes back to the time of Shun Yu, can there be such a thing?" ”
"Yes."
"Do you just want to use Shun to avoid Danzhu's story?"
"Is that okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, but for the time being, it's going to do more harm than good to the general. In fact, most of the Wu Hui family are from the Central Plains, and the Lu family is no exception, let them trace the story of Wu Hui, that is, to add some talking points, but in fact it is not very useful, but it makes people feel that the general compares himself with Shun and has a heart of disobedience. Even the story of Emperor Gao's beheading of the White Snake was made up later, otherwise how could Xiang Ji let him go at the Hongmen Banquet. ”
Sun Ce smiled. "You're right, there's really no need to create public opinion now. But it doesn't do more harm than good. Without public opinion, Yuan Shao will not let me go, and a decisive battle is inevitable. Yuzhou is in hand, there is only one Yuzhang left in Yangzhou, and half of Jingzhou is in hand, even if I am obscure, Yuan Shao will not sit back and watch me grow. ”
"If you can delay for a while, it's a while."
"If you only look at it from the perspective of public opinion, it is true that it is not appropriate to be in a hurry, but what can they do? I couldn't think of a good arrangement other than to let them do their studies, so I found a topic for them to do, so that they wouldn't have nothing to do. Zhong Xiang, there is a sentence that may be a bit presumptuous, but I hope you can listen to it. ”
"Something to do with my family's easy learning?"
"That's right." Sun Ce sat up with a serious expression. "I don't actually understand easy learning, whether it's your Yu family's Xiangshu school or Zheng Xuan's Yili school, I don't understand, but I believe that one thing, through the scriptures, learning still has to be used in the end, either it can produce practical benefits, or it can answer some of our questions. Otherwise, no matter how good you say, it's useless. What is the original intention of Yi? I don't believe in the book, but I think that the principle of 'looking up at the sky, looking down at the earth, looking at things from afar, and looking at the body up close' should be adhered to, and you should study the I Ching according to the Dharma of the sages, not the words of the Dharma sages. ”
"It turns out that the general is the king of Faxian."
Sun Ce shook his head. "I am neither the first king nor the queen of law, I only ask whether it is good or not. If it is beneficial, even if it is said by ordinary people, I will listen to it, but if it is not profitable, even if it is said by a saint, I will not listen to it. ”
Yu Fu also sat up, his eyes rolling. "Isn't that mercenary?"
Sun Ce's eyelids turned upward, and he still rolled his eyes. "How did Confucianism flourish?"
