Chapter 11 It is heaven and earth, not gods

Those who are good at being warriors are not martial; Those who are good at fighting are not angry; He who is good at overcoming the enemy does not fight; Those who make good use of people are underneath. It is said to be an indisputable virtue, it is to use the power of people, and it is said to be worthy of the ancient extreme.

It is the main center of the Taoist school of 'indisputable virtue'.

It means that those who are good at commanding troops are not exhausted in military force; Those who are good at war will not be provoked; Those who are good at fighting the enemy will not fight against the enemy; Those who are good at employing people are under the crowd.

This idea is based on the interpretation of the Tao, which is originally a spiritual product closest to nature, like this group of primitive people.

Even though they have the cultural heritage of the Lonely Bamboo Country, their essence is still the purest people, they will not be angry because of the uneven distribution of food, they will not feel aggrieved because of the amount of labor, and they will not feel hopeless because of the hardships of life.

Or it can be called 'the pleasure of ignorance.' ’

But Mo Kui, unlike these people, may be the arrogance of the inheritor of civilization, or the identity of the leader of the country, so that he has always been in a high position in the clan.

Before Wang Xu came.

Although he grovels to serve Wang Xu, he is still trying to control Wang Xu, or in other words, he seems to regard Wang Xu, who 'fell from the sky', as a weapon of domination.

But he didn't expect that Wang Xu would be so strong and uncontrollable, and he didn't expect that Wang Xu would so quickly grasp the initiative and integrate into the group, he originally thought that the emperor should be enshrined in the temple every day, and when it is useful, it will be taken out and used by him, the king.

It's like the goats in the clan.

He has read a lot of history books and inherited all the culture of the Guzhu Kingdom, and he has never seen Wang Xu, a 'great emperor' who does things himself, which makes him confused and very tormented.

Not only Mo Kui was confused, but Wang Li, who had been able to go to the ground, was also very confused.

Looking at Wang Xu, who was surrounded by a group of unclothed savages cheering in the center outside the window, he could feel that Wang Xu did have a super-earthly temperament, and he could see that his wisdom did not belong to the world.

That seemingly ridiculous wooden armor was really created by him, and it seemed to look good.

Is this the spirit?

Wang Li was very puzzled.

The success of the production of 'Hejia' made Wang Xu very happy, but the fleas and unpleasant smell on the clansmen really made Wang Xu unbearable, if it wasn't for the real lack of water resources, Wang Xu really wanted to dig a pit to fill the water and boil, and throw their meat into it to wash it well.

Leaving the 'combined armor' to the ink wolf and they continued to test their defense, Wang Xu slipped back to the stone house and took off the camouflage uniform outside, he always felt that the lice and fleas on the head and body of the ink wolf got in, making him uncomfortable.

"Your legs aren't fit to walk around right now." Wang Xu glanced at Wang Li, who was sitting on the stone pier, and said.

"The gods are like you? Hanging out with a bunch of wild people? Wang Li frowned and stared at Wang Xu.

"They are not savages, they are my people." Wang Xu smiled.

"It is rumored that the ancient Nuwa Emperor made people out of soil, and you also made these people?" Wang Li continued to ask.

"Compared with kneading the soil to create people, Emperor Nuwa's work to mend the sky is more worthy of praise and commemoration." Wang Xu chuckled and said, "After all, there are not a few parents who break their bones for cooking, and there are not a few parents who eat their children, and it is more important to save lives than to give lives." ”

Wang Li's expression froze: "I heard what the doorman at home said, 'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs'." ”

"That's heaven and earth, not gods." Wang Xu smiled slightly, opened a can, dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

The fragrance of the canned food immediately attracted Wang Li's attention, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva and stared at the canned food in Wang Xu's hand with staring eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that your Great Qin's iron horse was too fierce, I wouldn't have stepped out of the envy gate." Wang Xu pretended not to see Wang Li's drooling appearance, and said to himself, "Gongsun Ying is a talent and a hero, but there is a little bit of a bad thing, he has opened the door to the evil of human nature, the king of the way, the weak people, the foolish people use the service of profit, and the trick of exchanging the title of the head makes you Daqin deserve to become the army of tigers and wolves."

The pawn of Shandong was taken by the armor to fight, and the Qin people donated armor to the enemy, taking the head of the left and the right of the captive.

People are eager to be fully armed on the battlefield, and in order to run fast, your Qin army took off their armor and went to fight, holding the head in your left hand and the prisoner in your right hand, which is really fierce. ”

Wang Li's wide eyes left the can, and he glared at Wang Xu angrily, "The brave soldiers of our army are the merit of governing the army!" What do you have to do with Shang Jun! ”

"The head of the six countries, Dai Yu, was the general, and no more than a thousand people died in front of him, all of them died by words, the white blade was in front, and the axe was behind, but he couldn't die." Wang Xu sneered lightly, "When it comes to governing the army, Zhao Zhilianpo, Zhao Hao, Li Muwei Zhixin Lingjun, which one is not a general who governs the army well?" ”

"Hmph, defeated." Wang Li snorted disdainfully.

"If it weren't for Gongsun Ying's military exploits and knighthood, how would your Qin army be different from him?" Wang Xu asked rhetorically.

Wang Li's tone was stagnant, and he retorted with a red face, "The eldest husband will be crowned a marquis immediately, what is the shame!" ”

"Fighting for the future with your life is naturally natural selection, but how can you be sure that the soldiers are using the heads of the enemy?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

Wang Li's expression froze.

"Your father led an army of 300,000 to destroy Yan, and the territory of Yandi is thousands of miles, if you don't collect enough prisoners of war, how can you explain to the soldiers." Wang Xu sighed, put down the half-eaten canned food and handed it to Wang Li, "The way of heaven is still a bow and a bow!" The higher ones suppress it, the lower ones lift it, the surplus loses it, the insufficient ones are with it, and the way of heaven loses more than enough to make up for the shortcomings. Humanity is not, the damage is insufficient, and the sacrifice is more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world? There is only one who is the Taoist. ”

Wang Li's face was gloomy, and without hesitation, he dug a big mouthful and stuffed it into his mouth, his originally gloomy eyes lit up instantly, and after swallowing it, he wiped his mouth, and his face was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the indecisive husband and the benevolence of a woman are taboo in the march!" ”

Wang Xu chuckled and shook his head, "Even if the strong are not born to protect the weak, they should not harm the weak." ”

"In front of the 300,000 Iron Horsemen, I want to see how you, the god, protect them." Wang Li's handsome little face was full of seriousness.

"I saved your life, isn't it enough to save them?" Wang Xu smiled slightly: "Could it be that the young general is a beast who knows how to repay his kindness?" ”

"Under the tiger talisman, there is only military orders." Wang Li's expression darkened for a moment, and then he said in an instant, "Besides, I didn't follow the army to fight, but the autumn hunt and this!" ”

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a pleasant smile, "So, your father shouldn't know that you lost it?" ”

Wang Xu's weird smile made Wang Li's back sink, and he subconsciously hugged his shoulders and said vigilantly, "What are you going to do?!" ”

........

The bitter cold land of eastern Liaodong is not only the abnormal climate, but also the endless primeval forest.

Once the army plunges headlong into the forest, it is easy to lose its way and delay the military period.

Five years ago, Wang Jian led an army of 200,000 to avenge Jing Ke's assassination of Qin for the first emperor, broke the twenty cities of Yandi, conquered Jicheng, the capital of Yan, and forced King Yan to kill the prince Dan and sacrifice his head to sue for peace.

Five years later, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, once again came to this forest with an army of 300,000, and this time, Yan was destined to disappear from the stage of history and become a stepping stone for Qin to unify the world.

In order not to get lost in the forest and delay the military period, Wang Ben chose a more brutal way, and the 300,000 army was like a bulldozer, cutting trees all the way to northern Liao.

It took more than half a month to finally hide in Liaoyang City behind.

Looking at the majestic city that was about 100 zhang high, all the Qin troops had a feeling of being overwhelmed.

It is a waste of money and food to build such a majestic city in such a poor rural area.

But in Wang Ben's eyes, this city is indeed a different scene.

Wang Ben, dressed in iron armor, stood in the scorching sun, like a glowing god's mansion, his dark cloak fluttering in the wind, he had been standing here for half an hour, no one dared to come forward to disturb the commander's contemplation, let alone speculate what the commander was thinking, even if the army's lunch had been delayed for an hour.

Adjutant General Li Xin was standing in the shade dozens of meters away, also looking at this majestic city.

In his eyes, this city was his only chance to turn around.

He should have been the most shining star of the Qin Empire, and before he was thirty years old, he already had a young master, and further, he was the Daliangzao who held military power, and he may be the youngest Daliangzao in the empire.

But it may still be young and frivolous, or bad luck, in his deep Qin King love, and shoulder to lead the army to attack the Chu State, about to establish the attack of destroying the country, when the first war was crowned, the accident happened, Changping Jun rebelled, and the Chu general Xiang Yan was attacked, so that Li Xin's army was defeated like a mountain.

The loss of troops in the first battle made the king of Qin angry and severely punished Li Xin.

And in the end, the credit for destroying Chu still fell on the head of the veteran Wang Qian, who was named Marquis Wucheng in World War I, and was the one with the highest military merit in the empire.

The blow of defeat made Li Xin begin to rein in his edge, and it was not until this time that Li Xin took the initiative to ask for help again.

Li Xin has always been conceited of his talents, and he has a lot of criticism about Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son, feeling that the two have no talent in military affairs, and there is nothing to praise except to fight a war of attrition and take advantage of the numerical advantage.

Seeing that the commander was reluctant to give the order to attack the city, Li Xin finally couldn't help but step forward and ask, "General, the sun is setting, it is a good time to send troops." ”

Wang Ben didn't seem to hear it, and didn't respond.

Li Xin frowned slightly, and raised his voice again: "General! If you don't attack at this time, waiting for the swallow thief to react will increase the casualties. ”

"Li Xin." Wang Ben's voice was deep and strong, "The general knows that you want to make meritorious contributions to the king, but don't forget, every soldier of my Great Qin is precious and will not be wasted in useless places." ”

Li Xin's body stiffened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"And this Liaoyang City is just a clamshell turtle, so there's nothing to worry about." Wang Ben's tone was full of mockery, "Our real purpose is to be in Linzi." ”

Li Xin gasped and looked at Wang Ben in astonishment.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that in the middle of the way, it seemed that two lieutenants left with men and horses, right?

Just when Li Xin was frightened of Wang Ben's operation, the roar of the fiery horse caught his attention.

Those who are angry with the mounts in battle should be killed according to the law!

Before Li Xin could get up, a knight dressed in a short costume had already landed beside him, and presented a brocade silk scroll with both hands: "General, Your Majesty's urgent order!" ”

Wang Ben took the brocade silk, opened it and was silent for a long time, and said in a muffled voice, "Order to set up camp, make a fire to besiege the city, and transport all the felled wood to the front of the battle." ”

Although Wang Ben's voice and expression did not change in the slightest, Li Xin was still keenly aware that Wang Ben's hand holding the brocade silk was trembling.

has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and it is the first time that Li Xin has seen a general lose his temper like this.

What's going on?
