Chapter 109: Strife (9)
However, he said that after Zhang Liao led the army back to Luoyang, he reported the matter.
Dong Zhuo said: "That's it, since the old guy has escaped, let him go; It's just that Bai Ming who is blocking you, who is it? ”
Zhang Liao replied: "Back to Xiangguo, he didn't say it explicitly, and his subordinates didn't know. ”
Then I said, "I think he must be a member of some mysterious organization of the people; It was amusing that their leader would pay attention to me; Since he wants to see me, I'll go meet him. ”
Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "The plan to arrange the army is important at the moment, so let's leave them alone for the time being, right?" ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's going to take a while to move all the people away anyway, and it doesn't matter if the plan is pushed back a little bit." ”
Dong Zhuo asked, "Then how many people do you need to bring?" ”
I said, "It doesn't take much, just give me the 2,000 brothers from Huo Village that my brother and I brought from the previous time." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, you have to go back quickly." ”
"Hmm." I nodded.
The next day, I led Qin Yi, Zhang Xiao, and 2,000 brothers from Huo Village to drive towards Yuyuan Pass. When we arrived there, I was a little surprised that Gao Feng didn't leave.
I saw Gao Feng arching his hand at me and said, "The last general, Gao Feng, meet General Wei." ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you leave with your family?" ”
Gao Feng replied: "Returning to General Wei, the last general is the commander of Yuyuan Pass, and his duty is not to leave his post without permission." ”
I asked again, "If your duty lies, then why do you want to let go of the rebellion of the court?" ”
Gao Feng replied: "Back to General Wei, Yuan Taifu's family is the closest relative of the last general's clan, and letting him go is where filial piety lies; If General Wei wants to deal with the last general in accordance with military law, the last general is willing to surrender to the law. ”
I said, "Go away, we don't need people like you in our army." ”
Gao Feng looked at me in surprise, but said, "Why? ”
I said, "There's no why, there's just no need for people like you; hand over the seal ribbon and let the deputy lieutenant take over the post of lieutenant; Quickly open the closing door, I'm going to get out now. ”
"No." At this time, a general next to him answered, and immediately said to the others: "Still stunned, hurry up and switch it!" ”
I looked at the general and asked, "Are you the deputy lieutenant?" ”
He hurriedly replied: "Yes, the villain's name is Jiang Yu, the word is Yunqi; Like you, you're also a native of the state. ”
I said, "I see; You listen, keep the level for me, and no stranger is allowed to enter or exit without my permission, understand? ”
Jiang Yu hurriedly said: "General Wei, please rest assured, the last general will definitely guard the checkpoint tightly, and will never let an unknown person enter or exit a step!" ”
"Hmm." I nodded, and led the crowd away.
Suddenly, Gao Feng looked at my departing back and sighed secretly, as if something was not good.
At this time, Jiang Yu on the side smiled and said, "Hehe, Gao Duwei, I'm really embarrassed, please hand over the seal." ”
Gao Feng took off the seal ribbon and handed it to him.
Jiang Yu took the seal ribbon and said, "Oh, this is really lucky, and I can't even stop the wall, I didn't expect such a good thing to fall on my Jiang Yu's head." ”
Gao Feng snorted lightly and said, "You'd better be less, otherwise one day, your fate will be the same as mine." ”
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "I love Dese, you can take care of it." ”
At this moment, I had led the group along the narrow mountain path for a long time, and soon came to the pond at the foot of Mt. Shomuro. Then they drank all the water to the mount, and replenished some dry food, and the group continued on their way. Subsequently, he went south along the mountain road for about 30 miles, came to the edge of Yingshui, and then traveled less than 20 miles east along Yingshui, and arrived at Yangcheng (now Xucheng Town).
From afar, I saw a group of men and horses waiting outside the city, almost all of them were dressed in black, and only the leader was dressed in white. I was a little surprised that there were men and women among those people.
The man in white at the head smiled at me and said, "God will become incorruptible, Wu has admired the name for a long time." ”
I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is that what you're looking for?" ”
Wu Xin replied: "Not bad. ”
I asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”
Wu Xin said: "I heard that your martial arts are unparalleled in the world, I don't believe it, so I want to see it." ”
"Oh? So how do you want to see it? I said with a slight corner of my mouth.
Wu Xin said: "You come to attack, I will defend; Let's see if you're on offense or on my defense. ”
Suddenly, Zhang Xiao on the side suddenly whispered to me: "General Wei, I know who this person is, he is Wu Xin, the giant of the contemporary Mo family, who often calls himself "Wu someone"; The Mo family is the best at defensive warfare. ”
I was a little surprised when I heard this, but I didn't expect that the person in front of me was still a big name. Immediately, I said: "Haven't you Mo family always advocated "non-attack", why have you changed your purpose now?" ”
Wu Xin smiled slightly and said, "Of course, but occasionally learning from each other is also a necessary means to increase experience." ”
I lowered the corners of my mouth and said, "If I just want to have a discussion, I don't have any interest in accompanying you, and I don't have that spare time; If you don't hand over Yuan Kui immediately and insist on opposing the imperial court, I will execute all of you "terrorists" for the crime of undermining human peace. ”
Wu Xin raised his eyebrows, but said: "It turns out that you also advocate "peace", and now you are really a hero. ”
In other words, my ideological propositions are relatively close to the academic tenets of the Mohists, but I do not agree with some of the tenets advocated in their thoughts.
I said, "Don't tell me your set of truths, for I am no less than you know; Either you get out of the way, or I'll tie you all. ”
"Haha." Wu Xin suddenly laughed, and then said: "What's wrong with our set of principles, love and non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, thrift, and non-life, why not?" ”
I pulled the corners of my mouth and said, "Do you think that if you wishfully give favors to others, it must be true love?" ”
Wu Xin said, "Oh? Why is it not true love? ”
I lowered the corners of my mouth slightly and said, "I heard that your Mo family has always liked to tell people the truth, since this is the case, I will also tell you some truth today, so that you can clearly understand your own superficiality." ”
Wu Xin said, "Okay, I would like to hear what is so brilliant about Your Excellency's "Way of the Sages". ”
I snorted lightly and said, "First of all, I don't agree much with what you advocate of 'love'; I think that as long as you don't resent others, don't discriminate against others, and treat others as equals, it's enough, and there is no need to show favors to all people in the world; People grow up in tribulations and setbacks, and if you block the tribulations and setbacks that others should have experienced, it is tantamount to depriving others of the experience of growing for no reason, and you are harming others. If others really reach the point of exhaustion, they will naturally come to you for help, but then giving help is the real help. Moreover, people's love is originally limited, not everyone can love the world like you, you can't always take what you can do, to force those who can't do it to be like you, isn't it too difficult for people to be too strong? Do you think that's right? ”
Wu Xin frowned, looked at me with some strangeness, and then said: "This truth is very true, people's abilities are indeed limited, and not everyone can be selfless, which is also the main reason why the Mo family will split later; Anything else? ”
Then I said, "There is an idiom in my hometown called 'Helping others for pleasure'; You must know that helping others when they are in trouble is not because of any so-called "love", but because "helping others" is a responsibility that human beings need to fulfill to ensure the good reproduction of the race. If you have the ability, you can help, and if you don't have the ability, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't fall into the ground. ”
Wu Xin sighed and nodded: "Mencius said, "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone", which does not lose its subtlety; In your opinion, is it advisable to be "non-offensive"? ”
I replied: "From a moral point of view, 'non-offensive' is indeed a purpose worth advocating; However, it also depends on the circumstances; Just imagine, if the Qin Dynasty had not unified the six countries, the cultures of various ethnic groups could not be integrated, and the vassal states were still in a state of division for a long time, how would human civilization progress? ”
Wu Xin couldn't help but groan, but said, "However, war will destroy many originally beautiful things, is this also desirable?" ”
I said: "You must know that 'reunification' is the only way for mankind to become prosperous and strong, and when all people reject reunification ideologically and culturally, they can only achieve the goal of reunification through war; Although war will destroy some beautiful civilizations, but if the old civilization does not fade, how can a new civilization come? Of course, it would be great if mankind could be united ideologically and culturally without the means of war. ”
In other words, the most common topic of appeal in later generations was "peace", simply because the trauma caused by World War II was too great. But in fact, true "peace" does not mean the absence of war, but the integration and unity of human thought and culture. Therefore, war is not necessarily completely wrong. As long as the party that waged the war does not mutilate those innocent people, does not destroy the civilization of other races, and fights for the integration and unity of mankind, it cannot be counted as wrong. As the saying goes, "war ends war", this is the truth. (To be continued.) )
