Chapter 247 Lan Gang Army, slaughter all the orders

The difference between people lies in thinking.

Under the social value relationship that has formed force majeure, the strength of thinking sometimes determines a person's social status, especially in a social environment where culture is more closed and closed.

This is also known as primitive.

The more primitive it is, the stronger the power of thinking, the first group of people to learn to think, become the rulers who lay the foundation of the society that follows, and those who learn to think later can only become executors under the rules set by this group of rulers, and the last group of people who are deprived of the ability to think will become enslaved.

The social order of the Lone Bamboo Country is primitive, and everything is finally selected by Wang Xu in combination with the development history of human civilization at home and abroad for thousands of years in later generations, and finally selects a social value that is temporarily suitable for the Lone Bamboo Country, which will spread and inherit infinitely in the territory of the Lone Bamboo Country until it is banned by another new social value.

And the value center that Wang Xu wants to shape can be called "living with a sense of ritual" for everyone.

The poem Zhou praises me will: "The ritual of the king of the penalty, the sun is in all directions." ”

The Empress Dowager replied: "The ceremony will be in the literary examination to teach filial piety to the princes." ”

Guitian Lu Volume 2: "I don't have time to pay attention to the system of the three kings, and I take the auspicious and evil rituals used in the world for a while, and I am slightly neat, which is not enough for the law of later generations." ”

Ritual is a form that arises from the formation of rituals.

In other words, ritual is a form created by a ruler as a collective act to unite a crowd.

But the sense of ritual is indeed a feeling that can only be felt by individuals in this collective act.

Western proverbs often say that there are 10,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 10,000 people, which is a respect for personal aesthetic needs, and the sense of ritual is also like this.

The purpose of the ritual is to construct an imaginary community in which people participate in the same activity and perform it for a purpose, and from then on in the process of performing it to find spiritual companions against loneliness and fear.

Only when such an imaginary community is achieved can a group of people form a collective.

Why do Chinese people call themselves Chinese people?

It's not because they were born in the land of China, but because the ancestors of China used blood and sweat rituals to form this imaginary community, in the vast land of China, you won't know all the provinces, towns, counties and villages, and it is impossible to know most of the Chinese people, but you still take it for granted that you are a Chinese person.

This is the function of the ceremony, because of its existence, let you identify with Huaxia, so as to see the recognition and screening of you and all Chinese people.

When a culture with rituals is a culture that grows from a weak individual to an incomparably powerful force.

The sense of ritual is based on collective rituals, looking for a kind of personal recognition.

This recognition is the highest level of philosophy.

Who I am and what I live for.

And usually this sense of ritual is difficult for others to understand and recognize, and it is also called a one-person carnival.

When a person finishes a thing and then turns his head to tell himself the meaning of the matter, this process of self-examination will give a kind of satisfaction to the empty spirit of human beings.

It is a sense of realism that a person is alive.

In the lonely bamboo ceremony shaped by Wang Xu.

The first person to awaken the sense of ritual was Tu Tan.

Because Tu Tan is a Daqin person who has been influenced by the Daqin ritual, under the conflict between the Daqin ritual and the Lone Bamboo ceremony, he awakened his sense of personal ritual.

The domineering kingship of the Great Qin ceremony is based on the values of thousands of years or even thousands of years of gold in ancient times, and later it was combined with Legalist thoughts, like a guillotine hanging on everyone's neck, so that the people of Great Qin can't sleep at night, no matter whether you are a prince and general, or the head of Qian, Li Min, where you live, you will wake up in the midnight dream, because of the fear of death, and wake up.

Therefore, the people of Great Qin never look forward to the rising sun, and even hope that the sun will never rise, preferring to be immersed in darkness forever.

Because the Great Qin ritual forces everyone to live without choice.

But the lonely bamboo ceremony, is a kind of gentle guidance, like the hand of parents, holding the baby step by step to grow up, although the days of the lonely bamboo are bitter, the early use of Ru Mao to drink blood is not too much, but everyone is looking forward to the sun rising early, to welcome the new day.

The two completely different rituals made the contradiction in Tu Tan's heart, and when he was performing a task for King Qin and when he was performing a task for Wang Xu, he gradually turned into a sense of ritual in the subconscious comparison.

Tu Tan knew that he could die for King Qin, he was grateful for King Qin's kindness, and he died for his confidant, which was righteousness, but he was no longer willing to live for King Qin.

Tu Tan is also willing to die for Wang Xu, this is the grace of reshaping, willingly, but the difference is that he is also willing to live for Lone Bamboo, this is hope and life.

Before learning Jing Ke's identity, Tu Tan was still fantasizing about his life in Guzhu after he was loyal to the King of Qin.

He liked a shallow bay on Jieshi Road very much, and wanted to build a house there in the future, with the sound of the waves as a companion, with the seabirds as neighbors, with the deep mountains on the left, and the song on the right, and then he was ready to marry a wife, a woman who did not need to be knowledgeable, only needed to be understanding, and then gave birth to a bunch of children, watched them grow up, and was used by the emperor, and then sat on the top of Sendai on the Jieshi Road, watching the lonely bamboo prosper for ten thousand years.

He didn't want to be Tu Sui, and he didn't want to be a national captain who might open up territory for King Qin in the future and lead ten thousand armies, and his name would go down in history.

He just wants to be an errand runner under Wang Xu, that's enough.

But when he found out that his friend Jing Ke, who had been friends for nearly ten years, was also the guard of King Qin, all his hopes were disillusioned, and Tu Tan remembered what Wang Xu had said to him at a private banquet.

The reason why dreams are noble is because of the beauty that they can't ask for.

Tu Tan has studied Legalist classics since he was a child, and has always scoffed at the Taoist Lao Huang's art, especially dreams, ideals, and righteousness, which are just means for the superior to deceive the public in his eyes.

But in the country of lonely bamboo, Tu Tan was willing to believe these things that he once despised by himself.

How beautiful a dream is, how hideous it is in the face of reality.

Therefore, Tu Tan went here, really with the determination to die, to complete the most shining sense of ritual in his life.

He had never said from Wang Xu that he really wanted something.

It seems that everything in the world is insignificant in the eyes of an envious figure like Wang Xu, so that Tu Tan has not gained a sense of honor in working for Wang Xu for so long.

As a thoughtful worker, it is very frustrating to not get a sense of honor when facing the work you love.

But this time to aid Daqin, Tu Tan really heard Wang Xu say that at all costs, he would also talk about the Cypriots staying in Yandi and capturing the Cypriot leaders alive.

This task is not difficult for the current military strength of the Guzhu Kingdom, especially with the cooperation of the Qin army.

But single-handedly, capturing the enemy chief alive among hundreds of thousands of soldiers, this is a sense of ritual belonging to Tu Tan alone, a sense of ritual of saying goodbye to the lonely bamboo and the emperor.

This kind of behavior is very inexplicable in the eyes of outsiders, at least in the eyes of many generals of the Qin army, after all, people who can experience this sense of personal ritual will always be a minority.

Jing Ke can understand, but he doesn't agree.

In Li Zuoche's eyes, Tu Tan's behavior belongs to personal heroism, and it is purposeful.

In the eyes of Taoist Wang Huai, this is an unwise and unwise behavior.

In Li Xin's eyes, this is a respectable general's quality.

And Zhai Qiu could understand Tu Tan's sense of ritual, but he couldn't understand it.

But no matter who they are, they don't want Tu Tan to die in this war.

Because this is not only Daqin's loss, but also Guzhu's loss, it will not make Tu Tan any accident if it is reasonable.

Therefore, when it was discovered that Tu Tan had single-handedly entered the battle group and pointed directly at the Cypriot enemy chieftain Qiu Xihou, Li Xin, who commanded the Great Qin elite cavalry in the eastern mountains, had already reformulated the assault route, and he was originally going to wait for the Xiongnu cavalry to go forward before encircling and intercepting, but in order to assist Tu Tan, he had to give up the opportunity to outflank.

Because Tu Tan rushed too fiercely, almost all of them had already rushed into the battle circle of the Hun troops in the rear, even if he was capable of fighting thousands of troops, he would eventually be trampled into meat by these tens of thousands of horses' hooves.

Zhai Qiu, who was ambushed in the mountains and forests to the west, also adjusted his battle plan, and while Tu Tan was killed, he led the army of Guzhu to follow closely.

The iron cavalry of the kite is a cluster of arrows, the Lanjia army is the wings, the royal army is the arrow shaft, and the captive army is the tail of the arrow, a powerful arrow escorts Tu Tan.

Just after Tu Tan was knocked away by the Cypriot guards with a self-detonation tactic, the cavalry of the Iron Kite Cavalry turned into a steel shield, shattering all the Cypriot cavalry who tried to crush Tu Tan under the horse's hooves.

Zhai Qiu's spear pierced through the corpses of the two Cypriot guards in a row, sat down and jumped up and stepped in front of the half-human-high corpse pile that Tu Tan had killed before, jumped off the back of the deer with a sword, knelt on Tu Tan, who was soaked in blood and mud and fainted, lifted his mask and probed his snort, and finally relaxed slightly from his lips.

Standing up and holding up the Lan Gang Army, with red eyes, a roar and almost overwhelmed the lone bamboo army that was less than three feet on both sides of him, galloping by, "Lan Gang Army, slaughter." ”

Then he blew the horn specially made by the Lan Gang Army.
