"War is a continuation of politics, and this sentence is too righteous and full of righteousness. In fact, I have always believed that war is driven by interests, and if there are no interests to follow, then why bother to conduct wars? Lu Peng began to explain his fallacies to Su Shuang's second brother.

"I'm a straightforward person, and I don't want to hide my intentions, and I think it's hypocritical to do so." When he said this, Lu Peng didn't blush at all.

The second brother smiled bitterly, you are indeed kind and straightforward, but that is all your own flaunting, judging from all the things you do, you are a black-bellied guy. You even your father-in-law and your uncle are calculating in every possible way, are you still kind?

"In any war I have launched, I have worked hard to obtain benefits, whether it is in money and food, or in land. Therefore, in this grassland war, if I don't get land, then I will reap money, and I want to let those who follow me reap money and wealth with me, so that more people will willingly follow me to start a war and carry out war. ”

Su Shuang couldn't help but sigh: "What my brother said is that the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and you use the greed of people's hearts to drive them to fight for your goal, which can be described as invincible." ”

Lu Peng said to the second brother angrily: "Second brother, how can you talk so badly about a war full of justice and revenge for the Han Dynasty?" As I said, we are full of positive energy in this war, and we are just and can no longer be just, and I have announced this to the world. ”

"Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, with a belly of copper and black belly." Su Shuang pouted, anyway, the knife is in your hand, you can say whatever you want.

"I originally hoped that my army would sweep in front and loot supplies, cattle and sheep, and there should be a torrent of merchants behind me, not only to provide me with sufficient supplies, but also to digest my looted booties, no, it is the spoils of justice, let us share these war dividends together."

Then he spread his hands very regretfully: "But unfortunately, those merchants in the Central Plains still have no confidence in our victory over the Wuhuan people, and they are not optimistic about the rich dividends of the war, so only one of your caravans follows us, so okay, I will sell these cattle I captured to you at a price of five hundred yuan each, and then you help me traffic them to the Central Plains." ”

Su Shuang said modestly: "500 yuan a head, it's too cheap, it's not good for you, since it's a business, as long as I have it, just make money, so let's do it, a good cow in the Central Plains will cost four or five thousand yuan, and I'll give you two thousand dollars." ”

Lu Peng shook his head and said, "Second brother, you misunderstood what I meant. In fact, your money is also my money, at this point, eldest brother and second brother, you have done very well, but now I have set the price of this scalper so low, in fact, there is a kind of meaning of a thousand dollars to look at the horse's bones. ”

Su Shuang asked curiously, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Peng said with a smile: "I want to use this price issue to let businessmen all over the world see that Lu Peng has meat to eat with me." There is nothing wrong with a businessman seeking profits, but it depends on the comparison between those profits and what he pays. Normal businessmen, with one or two percent of the profit, can be small and rich, but if there is half of the profit, they can take risks, but as I enter the grassland, not to mention the unpredictable victory, there is a huge risk, small profits will not impress their risky mood, but I give him ten times the profit, I estimate that if he kills his son, he will dare to follow me. ”

Su Shuang smiled, the third brother's understanding of businessmen is simply too thorough, and he is worthy of being the descendant of the ancestor of businessmen.

"What I need now is to have a strong team to digest the material I have seized, and use this huge profit to cultivate a team that has absolute confidence in me, and at the same time, cultivate their tiger and wolf nature. Don't underestimate the power of the merchants, as long as I cultivate his tiger and wolf nature, in the future, in fact, there will be times when I don't need to take action at all, and these merchants may form a bandit group for the sake of that huge profit, and plunder this vast grassland instead of me. ”

Su Shuang looked at Lu Peng, he really didn't understand what was in his third brother's head? Why are there many things that cannot be solved at all in the eyes of others, and there is a solution for them here?

"When I go back this time, I want you to bring the fourth brother back." Lu Peng said reluctantly as he walked with his hands behind his back.

Su Shuang nodded with satisfaction: "His mind is not as resolute as yours, if you follow your train of thought and keep taking him down, he will either become a hungry wolf on the grassland, or he will be painfully decadent and lose his nature." Let's let him go back, a loyal and righteous brother is what we want. ”

Lu Peng nodded: "Watching me persecute him and implement my military orders, he is in pain, in fact, I am even more painful, why should we suffer together?" ”

"Then who are you going to give 3,000 wolf rides to you?"

Lu Peng said without hesitation: "Yang Feng, I can trust it." ”

Yang Feng is indeed a good hand, he has been fighting for a long time, especially after such a long time of assessment, he has been loyal to himself.

The most important thing is that in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he plundered all places with the flow, killed those useless men, women, old and weak, and coerced those useful young and strong. For him, killing the old and weak women has actually become natural in disguise, and now letting him kill his enemies, the children and women of the nomads, has no burden in his heart, not only will he not have a burden, but it will make him feel a sense of atonement.

"If you continue to kill like this, whether it is Yang Feng, or the 3,000 wolf riders he leads, including the 17,000 soldiers who followed you in the battle this time, they may all become cannibal devils." Standing still, Su Shuang stared at Lu Peng's eyes tightly: "You must know that when a person's conscience is extinguished, he has already become a demon, and they will never be divided into the children of the enemy or the children of their own compatriots, they will only think that killing is a matter of course, and what will you do with them in the end?" ”

"What do you think is the best thing to do?" Lu Peng also knows that such consequences are very difficult to recover from when human nature has been distorted. A murderer, if he can't eliminate it as soon as possible, then he will become a serial murderer, because in his eyes, life is no longer important, and often kills will become a kind of happiness for him, and at that time, they will only kill for the sake of killing, and will never distinguish between innocent and innocent, such examples abound in the world, and this is the problem that Lu Peng needs to solve in the future.

Looking at those happy soldiers, Lu Peng's face was gloomy: "I will never let these soldiers who are about to become bloodthirsty beasts return to the Central Plains to slaughter my compatriots." ”

At that time, Su Shuang was shocked: "What, do you want to kill them all?" He grabbed Lu Peng's arm, looked at this brother who had become a cold-blooded beast, and anxiously persuaded: "They are all brothers who have followed you for many years, these are all soldiers who fought for you, and they also have wives and children, brother, you can't do this." ”

Lu Peng pushed away Su Shuang's second brother's hand: "What did the second brother say, how could I be so cold-blooded and ruthless?" I emphasize here that I am a kind person. ”

"Aren't you going to-" Su Shuang felt the cold sweat on his back begin to subside.

"I will never let them go back to the Central Plains, but I will never do anything desperate, my humanity is still there, I am just ready to settle them in the border areas, let them continue to slaughter the nomads, and always consume the vitality of the alien race."

Saying this, Su Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Su Shuang has sensed that Lu Peng is wrong, since he walked into the grassland, the wolf nature in his heart has begun to be exposed, which makes Su Shuang very relieved and worried.

Originally, Lu Peng always behaved as a good gentleman, and this kind of personality made Su Shuang very worried about how far he could go in the future hegemony career.

The burning of Yuyang City let the world see Lu Peng's iron-blooded determination, but after all, he did not lose his conscience.

But this time when he entered the grassland and began to unceremoniously operate on women and children, Su Shuang felt that Lu Peng was terrible.

But in this way, what also made him happy was that Lu Peng finally showed the potential that a hero should have. But if you continue to kill like this, will you also be ruthless to your brothers in the future? He began to worry about whether Lu Peng would do that thing in the future.

But fortunately, his third brother did not expect to bring this group of soldiers who have become devils into the Central Plains in the future, and did not completely eliminate this group of soldiers, but arranged a home for them to belong to.

Lu Peng knew what the second brother was thinking now, but he didn't explain, just continued to walk slowly, and said softly: "I want to kill the sheep as military food, and I just want to take these 20,000 brothers and rely on looting to meet our military needs." But our seizures, in the future will be more and more, we must need those merchants, buy our seizures, first, I will sell these seizures, will take out half of the money sold by these seizures to reward our desperate soldiers, with this method, to stimulate them, in addition to the national righteousness, there is also a huge harvest, in this way, the empty national righteousness, coupled with a rich income, a wolf-like army, will appear on this grassland, become the nightmare of our Han national sinners. ”

Su Shuang could only sigh, now, in order to stimulate the strong killing spirit of his soldiers, his brother has done everything he can, is this the luck of the Lu family, or the sorrow of the grassland people, who can say clearly?

"Second, I want to cultivate the original blood of the Han people through this raid of the grassland, so that the weak teachings of Confucius and the annihilated national wolf nature will burst out again, I believe that as long as those merchants enter the grassland, follow behind me, or get huge profits, they will involuntarily organize a plundering team, spontaneously attack and loot the grassland aliens, after all, the profits that can be obtained from commercial exchanges, where is the unfounded business can make people get rich quickly." Then he raised his fist and said to the vast grassland: "If you ate me at the beginning, go and spit it out for me, and if you robbed me at the beginning, you must give me back, and you must double it." ”
