"We're not going to surrender." Xu Ping was furious when he heard this, although Huangshi was famous, he was determined to build a country that could break out of the cycle of chaos, Xu Ping finally reached an agreement with Li Zicheng, not to mention that he was lucky to find two people who were willing to provide an attempt to govern the country.

"I didn't ask you to surrender, I know that Li Zicheng treats you well, my suggestion is that you might as well persuade him."

"King Chuang also respects you Lord Hou, but he respects the loyal and patriotic Marquis of Zhendong, not a chaotic minister and thief," Xu Ping said more and more impassionedly: "Lord Hou's martial arts are certainly world-famous, but if you rely on martial arts, it is just another Cao Cao, don't say that King Chuang may not agree, even I will never persuade you." Besides, whether the Hou Ye can destroy the invading army or not, it will be a real chapter on the battlefield. Xu Ping said categorically: "The marquis doesn't need to say it anymore, I won't persuade King Chuang to support a person who is a noble lord of the court, but is bent on usurping the throne." ”

"Who said I was going to be emperor?" Huang Shi smiled: "If I really want to be the emperor, then how can I only allow you to be a rich man and only allow you to be a general?" Besides, if I really want to conquer the world with martial arts, why should I come to you, why should I build an army that will be loyal to me? ”

Xu Pingleng was stunned, he thought that Huang Shi had come to persuade him to have this reason, but after thinking about it carefully, it really doesn't make sense, if the other party has absolute certainty to destroy the intruding army, there is no need to buy - the purchase will only be reasonable if it is not certain.

"Then who will be the emperor?" General Xu Ping asked suspiciously: "Does the Hou Ye want to support a certain prince?" ”

In an instant, Xu Ping felt that he had found the answer: yes, with the loyalty of Zhendong Hou, how could he rebel: "I must have misunderstood Hou Ye, Hou Ye already has a candidate in his mind, he must be a virtuous prince, and Hou Ye plans to let the faint monarch abdicate and give amnesty to the world." ”

With this thought, Xu Ping suddenly hesitated, if this is really the case, the world will end the war, and Huangshi will assist the new monarch, but whether Li Zicheng will agree or not, and whether the court will be trustworthy is still a question.

"Why does someone have to be emperor?"

Huang Shi's words were like a bomb exploding in his ears, and Xu Ping felt a little dizzy for a while: "What did you say, Master Hou?" ”

"I said, why does China have to have an emperor?" Huang Shi looked at Xu Ping with interesting eyes and observed his reaction: "Is it interesting to overthrow a faint monarch and then embrace a new one?" ”

If it was a bomb just now, now it is like there are a hundred bombs exploding in his ears at the same time, Xu Ping felt the world spinning: "How can there be no emperor?" ”

"Why can't there be no emperor?"

"There have been emperors since ancient times, and without an emperor, the world will be in chaos." Xu Ping began to wonder if he was dreaming, and even in his dreams, he didn't seem to have such a ridiculous thing.

"The emperor has not existed since ancient times, he is the self-appointed king of the tyrannical Qin." Huang Shi seemed to be very satisfied with the effect he had caused, and laughed: "General Xu, one day, when the Chinese hear the word emperor, they will hate it to the bone, and when that day comes, General Xu, your ideal will be realized." ”

"My ideals?" Xu Ping felt more and more that he couldn't catch up with Huangshi's leaping words: "What is my ideal? ”

"End the cycle of chaos, isn't this your ideal General Xu?" Huang Shi savored Xu Ping's changing expression in the firelight with great interest: "General Xu, I guess the declaration of return to Germany should be from your hand, right?" It's very well written, with your knowledge, no, with the knowledge of people other than me, it's pretty good. ”

"Master Hou, you ......" Xu Ping wanted to say that Huangshi was too arrogant, but he had to admit that the other party seemed to have guessed his own thoughts.

"Are you saying I'm arrogant? If you say these two words, I will like you a little more, and the most daring young man of this era is no more than that. Huang Shi's next words surprised Xu Ping again: "Xia Wanchun should be in your camp." ”

"Not here!" Xu Ping was even more shocked in his heart, but he gritted his teeth: "I've never heard of this person? ”

"Then General Xu's reaction is inevitably too fast, you know that you have never seen this person before I speak, hasn't General Xu heard a word? It is called, 'Do not speak secret words before the bright.' ', General Xu, you have defeated my new army three times, if I don't understand you clearly, then I will be too incompetent. Huang Shi said encouragingly: "After learning about the declaration of Guide, I sent someone to Jiangnan to invite Xia Sheng to meet me in Beijing, but his family said that he had traveled. Don't worry, I didn't say it to the imperial court, if I wanted to tell the truth, I could have done it a long time ago and didn't have to ask General Xu. ”

Xu Ping sighed, and did not continue to refute but acquiesced.

"Xia Sheng wants to use pure Confucianism to govern the country, he thinks that this can or may end the turbulent times in the land of China once in three hundred years," Huang Shi shook his head slightly: "I think it is very good, but it is impossible." As long as there is an emperor in China, this is Nanke's dream. ”

"How can China be without an emperor?" After Xu Ping heard this sentence for the third time, he was still shaken like the first two times.

"Let me tell you a story, once upon a time, there was a village, there were old and young people in the village, everyone farmed and cultivated, but there were unforeseen circumstances, people had joys and sorrows, there were lonely old people in the village who needed to be taken care of, and the rivers at the edge of the village needed to be managed, so the village pooled money, the rich people contributed more money, and the young and strong people contributed more efforts to meet various needs. But how is the money spent? How should this be done? There needs to be a village chief to manage, and when it comes to our China, it is our three generations of virtuous kings, who are supported by the people as kings because of their good management, leading the people to resist foreign humiliation, open up farmland, and control floods. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Shi paused: "General Xu, do you think I am right?" ”

"Yes, the rule of three generations, there is no more such a virtuous king."

"yes, kings are no longer chosen by the people, but from father to son, and son to grandchildren. But even when it came to the time of the king of Shangtang, there was a great drought in the world, and the people piled up firewood, asked the king of Tang to sit on it, prepared to burn him to death, and let him ascend to heaven to discuss the problem of rain with the heavenly prince, and the king of Tang happily sat down, and did not shirk his responsibility as a king, and prayed to heaven when the people lit fires, and please do not punish the people for his mistakes. ”

"Tiangong heard the prayer of King Tang, and it rained." Xu Ping was also very moved when he thought of this story: "King Tang is really comparable to three generations of virtuous kings. ”

"If a man is good to all the peoples, then he will be king, and if he brings evil to the world, then burn him. Although the king is not a good word now, I still like the word king very much, as for the emperor. Huang Shi sighed and shook his head again: "Let's tell the story, there was a scoundrel in that village, the director was to kill people, he killed all the people who opposed him, appointed himself the village head, and determined to pass on this position to his children and grandchildren forever, and the money raised by the whole village to help the orphans and widows was first used for his own lewd pleasures, and then he gave the leftovers of Tibetan soup to some people he looked like." This is where the word emperor comes from, and when his descendants no longer have the same high killing skills as their ancestors, the chaos begins, and the people of the village fight each other for the throne of the emperor, until the most capable of killing people kills everyone else. The so-called emperor is nothing more than a synonym for murderers and their descendants, and in my opinion they are nothing more than a raccoon dog, and I would never want to take this title or help anyone to obtain it. ”

"Chinese ......" Xu Pingleng was stunned for a long time, still muttering to himself: "How can there be no emperor?" It's going to be a mess in the world. ”

"It's really a piano to a cow."

"Lord Hou, it's not that the last general doesn't understand what you mean, but China is so big, how can there be no emperor? If this position is vacant, someone will grab it, and the world will be in chaos. Xu Ping suddenly became anxious, and he tried to get Huang Shi to give up this unrealistic idea: "China can't live without an emperor." ”

"There is a sage who said very well, since the violent Qin, there are only two situations for the Chinese people, when they are stable slaves, and when they want to be slaves but can't get them." Although Xu Ping was obsessed, Huang Shi was not surprised at all, when he brainwashed Yang Zhiyuan, the latter almost went crazy, and the brainwashing work lasted for several months.

"Who is this sage that Master Hou said?" Xu Ping asked, "The last general has never heard of it." ”

"So I said that your knowledge is not as good as mine, and I said that if there is, there is, you don't believe it?"

The deep-rooted respect for Huangshi overwhelmed the doubts in his heart, and Xu Ping nodded and said, "Since the Hou Ye said that there is, then there must be." ”

Huang Shi stared at Xu Ping for a few seconds: "General Xu, are you a minion?" ”

"Of course I'm not." Xu Ping replied immediately.

"Then why do you have to find a master for yourself to be loyal to? It started with me, and then it was Li Zicheng. ”

"Because I don't covet the throne." Xu Ping said loudly: "I have long made up my mind to retire after success, and I will never be greedy for glory and wealth." ”

"Sure enough, it's a slave, if you don't want to be your own master, you have to have a master who is too comfortable." Huang Shi sarcastically continued: "And I don't believe that you can retire after success, the minions have a saying: the elders give, dare not resign." If one day the emperor you respect and love bestows you riches, you will not shirk it. ”

"Since Hou Ye hates the emperor so much," after a series of attacks on Hou, Xu Ping rose up to resist, and asked Huang Shidao: "Then why does Hou Ye want to fight for the Great Tomorrow?" ”

"Because I am from this village, if there are robbers from outside the village, I will still fight up, but I am not fighting for the emperor, but for the people. General Xu, that's why I asked myself, I made a bigger mistake than you, I shouldn't have formed a new army to deal with the intruding army, this is a big mistake I made, because I once wanted to sacrifice you first, so that I could get the power to overthrow the emperor, but I now find that this can't overthrow the emperor, only make me the new emperor. General Xu, I don't plan to deal with you because I thank you, if it weren't for your few victories, my ambition might have failed" Huang Shi was very sure that Xu Ping would not have guessed his plan, so he also asked again and said bluntly: "I need to break into the army, because I need an army that will not be absolutely loyal to me, you don't plan to support me as the emperor, very good, so I can't do it." And I am sure that none of you can covet this position, so that after overthrowing the current emperor, there will be no emperor. ”

"Master Hou, I don't understand at all."

"I don't have time to talk to you in detail, I can only make a long story short, the power of the monarch comes from the army, and only by being able to rely on violence to win over all the opponents can a person sit on the throne. I don't want this kind of power to be used to limit myself, you, I have the means to limit you. Huang Shi saw that Xu Ping's mouth was open and couldn't close, and smiled slightly: "You just have to memorize it by rote now, and think about it slowly after you go back." ”

"But doesn't Lord Hou want us to surrender?" Xu Ping said confusedly: "I can't understand what Master Hou wants to do at all? Hou Ye forgives the sin, the last general feels that you are already a little demonic, and the last general will not dare to add fuel to the fire. ”

"I like to hear this very much, this is the general Xu who dares to speak out," Xu Ping's words offended Huang Shiquan unimpressed: "The request just now, if you don't want to, you should be, so let's put forward a compromise proposal, which is beneficial to you." ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

"After you go back, first set aside an opening for Shanlan Camp to break through, and I will repair a letter to General Jia to stop working for the King of Zhou and the governor of Henan. Then you can take the Beijing division directly, and the new army will not resist. ”

"Master Hou doesn't understand what he means, but the general still doesn't understand it very well."

"I will take the new army out of the capital division, leave an empty city for you, I will take the new army out of the north, and break into the camp with you to divide the river and rule."

"Divide the river and rule?"

"Yes, if you are willing to apply your pure Confucian way of governing the country in the north, you will do it, and I will implement my way of governing without an emperor in the south. At that time, if General Xu thinks it is good, my conditions for persuasion to surrender will always be valid. ”

Xu Ping was in a daze when he heard this, Huang Shi looked up at Xingchen, and felt that it was not too early: "If you agree to the transaction, the first step: write to me to tell you that you agree to let you go, and I believe that you will repair the book and let Shanlanying withdraw from Kaifeng." In the second step, you tell me when you plan to attack the Kyoshi, and I will suddenly lead the new army away before you launch an attack. The third step is to surrender when you are satisfied with my way of governing the country. ”

"Master Hou is so confident, he will definitely be able to convince us."

"I have always persuaded people with virtue," Huang Shi smiled at Xu Ping, "but doesn't General Xu suspect that I am just trying to rescue the Shanlan camp from Kaifeng?" ”
