Chapter 663: Saying Surrender (2)
In this era, there are many people who cherish their lives, but it is undeniable that there are also some people who look down on life and death at a critical juncture. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For example, Bitatu, the patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe in the land of Sanchuan, this man who provoked the Wei state, at the last moment, allowed the people of his tribe to surrender to Zhao Hongrun, while he himself would rather die in the fire of Henan City.
is compared to Sun Shuke, who is now in front of Zhao Hongrun, even if he is a prisoner and is slaughtered by others, he still retains that arrogance.
This arrogance can be understood as the spirit of the generals and the pride of the generals.
Or some people will say, what qualifications does a defeated general have to be proud?
But as the saying goes, heroes are not judged by success or failure, not everyone tends to focus on results, and in this era, there will also be people who hold a hero complex.
The so-called hero complex refers to some incredible emotions that are not shaken even if they give their lives for the belief in their hearts.
For example, Zhao Hongrun's sixth brother Ji Zhao (Zhao Hongzhao), in order to let Wei get the support of Qi State, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to go to Qi State as a proton;
Another example is Zhao Hongrun's fourth emperor brother Yanwang Hongjiang, when he learned that the country was in crisis, he resolutely gave up fighting for the throne and went to Shangdang as a prince to guard Shanyang County, the front line of Wei and Han warfare, as if he had never considered his own safety.
Such people who can sacrifice themselves for a certain belief are people with a hero complex, or rather, they are heroes who deserve to be praised.
And Sun Shuke, who is now in front of Zhao Hongrun, is also like this: his arrogance lies in the fact that he thinks that he is sacrificing for the Chu State, which is meaningful.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun just wants to combat his view and make Sun Shuke realize that his persistence or sacrifice is meaningless.
Because even a person with the spirit of sacrifice, when he clearly understands that his sacrifice is meaningless, he basically will not insist on dying anymore.
The reason is very simple: meaningless death cannot make them self-satisfied with heroic complexes.
No, when Zhao Hongrun pointed this point to the point, the calmness and calmness on Sun Shuke's face, including that arrogance, disappeared.
He began to ponder what Zhao Hongrun had said.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun still didn't let him go, and still unceremoniously hit him with facts.
“…… This king heard that there are more than 100,000 troops under the command of Xiong Li, and this army is ordered to guard Juyang, and the wealth of the guardian is Lord Yijun. In this way, General Sun, aren't you and your generals the ones who have been abandoned? ”
"I ......"
"It's ridiculous. …… has obviously been abandoned by the monarch, but he still misses the monarch. If that lord is a virtuous lord, it would be fine, but he is still a greedy person who is not as good as a beast because he has to squeeze the blood and sweat of his compatriots...... General Sun, are you unable to see all this because of a problem with your eyes? Or is there something wrong with your brain that you are dead set on that kind of stupefied guy? ”
“……”
"This king thinks that you may have been numb a long time ago, after all, the nobles and kings of Chudong are probably this kind of goods. You are loyal to these guys, this king can't say much, but while you are helping to abuse, you are putting on a pretense of sacrificing your life for Da Chu and dying as he deserves! 's appearance, to be honest, makes this king feel disgusting. ”
“……”
"Remember! In the past, you were just an accomplice who assisted Juyang Jun Xiong Carp in dumping the civilians of Chu State, just like an eagle dog next to Orion, you did not contribute to your country, nor did you benefit your compatriots. …… Your existence only makes the strength of the Juyang Jun Xiong Carp stronger, so that he can continue to roll and oppress your compatriots. ”
“……”
"Regarding this battle, your participation has come to an end, if it weren't for this king's cherishing of your talents, you would have died here senselessly, no one would remember your name, and no one would think that you died for the Chu country or the people of the Chu country. Maybe decades later, your deeds will still be circulated in Haoxian, but it is only limited to a certain year and month when a certain general stopped the Wei army here, and unfortunately the army was defeated and died. ”
“……”
Facing Zhao Hongrun's verbal blows like a cannon, I saw that Sun Shuke's face was pale at this moment, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
It is undeniable that he is not afraid of sacrifice, let alone hesitate to sacrifice in order to go abroad.
But Zhao Hongrun's words shook his heart and shook his belief.
Yes, in the past, his Sun Shuke was just an eagle dog next to Juyang Jun Xiong Li, and he never made any contribution to his compatriots and his country, at best, he just helped Juyang Jun Xiong Carp and made the latter's treasury richer.
And where does that money come from?
In contrast, the Wei army also selflessly provided military rations to help the Chu people in this area, and invited them to move to Xiangcheng, promising them enough food to survive.
The Wei people were still able to do this for the Chu people, but what did Juyang Jun Xiong Carp do?
Before the battle, he ordered his army to sweep the villages in the fiefdom and rob the people of the food they used to survive the winter.
Sun Shuke's face is like ashes.
From the side, Zou Xin, the newly descended general of the Yanling Army, was dumbfounded.
Once upon a time, he felt that Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, was quite powerful, and said that at that time, Nanmen Chi and his Zou Xin had no fighting spirit, and surrendered Xiangcheng to the Wei army, and led nearly 20,000 soldiers under his command to surrender.
Now, seeing Zhao Hongrun use some words to say that Sun Shuke, who was still proud at first, with a dead face, and a look of self-shame, Zou Xin realized that the seemingly gentle and elegant His Royal Highness King Su in front of him was actually much sharper than Yan Mo.
If you throw him a blade at this time, I'm afraid this guy will be so ashamed that he can't help but kill himself on the spot, right?
Glancing at Sun Shuke, who was sweating like rain, Zou Xin secretly sympathized with this compatriot.
After all, this compatriot was said by His Royal Highness King Su with sharp words as if he was demented, and it was clear that His Royal Highness King Su had allowed him to leave Gongxian County alive, but he was still standing there in a daze, looking dazed.
At this time, Zou Xin noticed that the guards on the other side were whispering, and out of curiosity, he listened attentively.
“…… Your Highness hasn't personally said that he will surrender the enemy for some days, has he? I can't believe that the words are still so sharp......"
"It's called attacking the heart. …… Break down the other party's psychological defenses and make the other party almost collapse, so that it will be much easier to solicit. ”
"When I first said that I would surrender them, the situation didn't seem to be the same......
"It varies from person to person. This Sun Shuke, at a glance, knows that he is the kind of arrogant guy, and if you want to make this kind of person obedient, the only way to destroy his pride is to destroy his pride first......"
Zong Wei Lu Mu, Mu Qing, and Zhou Pu whispered on the side.
However, after a few words, he was blinded by Zhao Hongrun: This king is here to talk a lot, and you are actually coaxing around, like talking?
The three Zong Wei sneered, and then stopped talking.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun set his eyes on Sun Shuke again.
Lu Mu and others' discussions, he didn't care if Sun Shuke would listen to them, after all, he had proposed from the beginning that Sun Shuke would be submissive to him, and there was no need to hide it.
Moreover, looking at Sun Shuke's pale face and the appearance of the six gods without an owner at this moment, I am afraid that he did not listen to these words.
However, Zou Xin, who was watching quietly, faintly showed a bit of admiration in his eyes, which really made Zhao Hongrun cry and laugh.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Hongrun Zhengse asked Sun Shuke, "Have you thought about it?" ”
"Huh?" Uncle Sun woke up like a dream, and looked at Zhao Hongrun with a puzzled face.
But he saw Zhao Hongrun sitting on the chair and tapping his fingers on the armrest, and said slowly: "Either go back to the side of the Lord Monarch Xiong Li, who has given you up, and continue to contribute to this person's selfish interests, until the next time you bump into the king's army, you will die on the battlefield, and your death will be worthless, and no one will remember you; Or, submit to the king, and the king will give you a chance to truly benefit your people, and let your people remember your name and see you as a hero who saved them......"
Sun Shuke gradually calmed down, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "Even if you don't want to be the enemy of the old master and the Great Chu?" ”
This seemed to be a clueless sentence, but Zhao Hongrun understood it, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "General Sun, like the Xiong nobles in eastern Chu such as Juyang Jun Xiong Li, treat the Chu civilians as animals, wantonly bullying and oppressing, but this king regards them as treasures. …… This king will shelter those Chu people, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment in our Great Wei, and get the treatment as human beings that they deserve but did not get when they were in Chu. …… Are you willing to be loyal to this king, help this king, and bring those helpless Chu people to my Great Wei? ”
"......" Sun Shuke looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, unable to understand what His Royal Highness the King of Wei was thinking.
It is no wonder, after all, that the territory of Chu is so vast and densely populated that the rulers of Chu have never regarded population as a resource, but rather as a burden.
But in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, those populations are more valuable national resources than gold and silver mountains, and they are the foundation that can really measure whether a country is strong or not.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the fact that Chu had several times the territory and population of Wei, Zhao Hongrun would not have regarded this decaying country as a strong enemy at all.
"Think about it. …… It's like the kind of Juyang Jun bear carp, which is not worth following. This is not said by this king, but from the mouth of the Chu people in this area. ”
After that, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and signaled that Sun Shuke could leave.
Uncle Sun left the post in a daze, and under the surprised gaze of many Yanling soldiers, he walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about the past.
In the evening of the same day, Sun Shuke asked to see Zhao Hongrun again, submitted to the latter, and also persuaded the former generals Gan Ben and She Li.
On August 20, the old army of Yanling led by Qu Cheng and Yan Mo successfully ambushed the 30,000 Fuli Saichu army that came to the aid of Gongxian County, and returned to Gongxian in victory.
After that, Zhao Hongrun followed his promise and rewarded all the property collected from the nobles in the city who had been rich and unkind to the Yanling army, making the Yanling army more cohesive.
On August 21, under the pacification and various promises of the Wei army, the Chu people in the city of Hao County began to move to Xiangcheng one after another.
Compared with the ethereal and unrealistic goal of destroying the Chu State, Zhao Hongrun is obviously more inclined to the more affordable national interests.
He set himself a goal of abducting the number of Chu people.
Million! (To be continued.) )
