Chapter 24 On Governance

The scroll looks ordinary on the outside, nothing special, and is exactly like an ordinary scroll. If you have to find something special, it may be that it looks relatively new. But how important is the outside of these three books, the key is "Dunjia Heavenly Book", Zhang Lang wants to know what is written in it? It's itching in my heart. I was embarrassed to ask for it.

But Zuo Ci was unhurried, as if he was hanging Zhang Lang's appetite and smiled: "I don't know how the general thinks it is better to govern the country?" ”

Zhang Lang didn't want to think about it: "Of course, it is based on morality, the rule of law, and the two-pronged approach." ”

Zuo Ci was extremely interested in Zhang Lang's words, and asked closely: "Poor Dao is willing to hear about it." ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a while, remembered his previous world, had a proposition, and said calmly: "First of all, advocate benevolence, righteousness and morality, poetry, writing, etiquette and music, and educate the people, because this is the basic spirit behind any law, wait for the people's consciousness to improve, and then on this basis, establish a complete set of social legal system, and establish the absolute authority of the law." To protect the right of life of every citizen, from the officials to the common people, it must be universalized. Let them be vigilant at all times and dare not contradict each other. Let them know the laws and standards, and understand whether what they are doing is harmful to society and others. If someone dares to defy the law and ignore the existence of the law, it will be difficult to escape the law. ”

Zuo Ci fell into deep thought, his face was serious, as petrified, and motionless. Zhang Lang didn't dare to come out, and looked at Zuo Ci a little nervously.

In the middle of the sound, Zuo Ci raised his head and doubted: "Since Pangu opened the sky, the kingdoms of the past dynasties have not been able to, but there are too many laws and regulations, is it inappropriate to do so?" ”

Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief and said confidently: "There will be no problem, in the past, the legal system and criminal law were harsh, and the criminal law was too heavy, and the people were all cold, and they would kill or punish the nine clans at every turn." Those who do not know, and those who do not know are not guilty. As long as the criminal law is not abusive, impartial and impartial, and the offender, whether a civilian or a meritorious person, as long as everyone is equal under the law, who dares to disobey? ”

Zuo Ci shook his head and said: "It's difficult, it's very difficult, what the general said about taking morality as the foundation and ruling the country by law, it sounds very beautiful, but it is very difficult to implement." Since Emperor Ling's reign, the war has been continuous, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and the people have to work hard all night for their livelihood, the current urgency is to explain the problem of food and clothing, and there is no long-term development, it is difficult to restore the economy, not to mention poetry, books, rituals and music, and educate the people. Moreover, starting from the protection of everyone's personal interests, it may be supported by ordinary people, but the views of wealthy classes such as families and local nobles have been deeply rooted, and if it is implemented, no matter how big the blow to them is, they will resist with all their might. Without their support, the general would be difficult. ”

Zhang Lang nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's difficult, but as long as you move in this direction, it won't take long for people to accept it." ”

Zuo Ci was surprised: "The general's vision is so long-term, it really makes Poor Dao respectful." It's just that the general forgot to do it? ”

Zhang Lang laughed and said: "There is always a specific environment for the birth of things, and no matter what kind of new things, they have their own laws of development, so that they can be conceived, germinated, formed, and grown over time to slowly accumulate. It is also the law of the development of the times. Therefore, it is said that water comes naturally, and success comes naturally. It may not be accepted, rejected, and oppressed at first, but the truth, the more difficult and persecutive it is, the faster it will develop. This is the law of the times, no matter who can change it, the Taoist can't, and I can't. ”

Zuo Ci, an old man who looked like a fairy wind and bones, couldn't help but be moved after hearing Zhang Lang's words, and his face was shocked. While some of the words may sound incomprehensible, what a novel perspective it is to them. It's really the last thing that has ever been done before. And looking at his tone and eyebrows, strong self-confidence is enough to shake everyone's mind.

I was surprised in my heart, and when I thought that Zhang Lang had the spirit of a king, I was not surprised at the moment, and said with my forehead: "Listening to the general's words is better than reading ten years of sage books." ”

With his decision, Zhengrong said to Zhang Lang: "So poor Dao will pass on the three volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book" to the general. I hope that the general will keep it properly and not fall into the heart of the villain. And he is not arrogant or discouraged, he works for the welfare of the common people, and he does not live up to the poor people. If you find that you have used this book to do evil and poison the living beings, and you will not take back this book, the general will also be sent by heaven. For the first time, Zuo Ci had a serious expression on his face, threatening and threatening, and the cold air was shivering.

Zhang Lang nodded solemnly, quite seriously. I took Zuo Ci's words to heart. His face no longer had the excitement he had just now, but his face was full of determination. He didn't intimidate Zuo Ci, but felt that he had a long way to go and a heavy burden.

Only then did Zuo Ci hand over the book to Zhang Lang with satisfaction, and the latter felt heavy.

Zhang Lang didn't open the scroll to watch it, but gently stroked the strong and powerful book cover, like tadpole handwriting, although he couldn't read it, but he knew what it meant by guessing with his heart. According to what Zuo Ci said, as long as he understands a little fur, he can dominate the world, if he is proficient, he can ascend to heaven on the ground, become an immortal, live the same life as heaven and earth, and say that the moon is bright, this is too exaggerated, for the popularization of atheism in the 21st century, the scientific era is coming, and I don't believe that there is such a thing when I kill myself, it seems that YY is too much.

Zuo Ci seemed to see through Zhang Lang's thoughts, stroked his hand clearly, his temperament was elegant, and he smiled: "These three volumes of heavenly books are all ancient oracle bones, tadpole handwriting, profound meaning, ancient and unpredictable. And how much the general can learn, it completely depends on the level of the surname, but I believe that the general's chosen son, will understand the surname is outstanding, if the time comes, look at the various states of life, enlightenment in the world, will get the secrets in the book, and feel the heaven and earth. ”

When Zhang Lang heard that Zuo Ci only knew a little bit about it, his heart immediately poured out half of his anger, and his happy mood was like a fire poured on water. It's also an ancient oracle bone inscription. If it weren't for Guo Jia, Tian Feng and others took over, he would have to reduce his life span by ten years. It seems that this "Dunjia Heavenly Book" is just a name bluff, but in fact, it is useless at all, with Zuo Ci's Taoism, he still can't get the secret, let alone himself, a person who doesn't understand anything at all.

He couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, and said a little discouraged: "I only know a little bit about the skills of the Taoist, let alone the next." Lang Ke doesn't know a word about the oracle bone inscription, and if it is placed here, it is really a precious thing. In this case, this Dunjia Heavenly Book is dispensable to the waves, so it is better to let the Taoist chief bring it back and study it slowly. ”

Zuo Ci was obviously stunned, the supreme treasure in the eyes of ordinary people, even if he fought for the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, he also tried his best to grab this "Dunjia Heavenly Book", even if he couldn't learn it, he didn't want others to get involved, but in Zhang Lang's mouth, it became an innocuous thing, he didn't care at all, and he admired Zhang Lang's conduct in his heart. Praised: "In the world, no matter what kind of treasure, it is pregnant with the infinite heaven and earth, the essence of the moon, the yin and yang, and the aura of mountains and rivers." Therefore, any treasure has its own spiritual surname, and the person who chooses the master is the one who lives in it. When the poor road first got this strange book, he traveled thousands of miles to find the stars from Bashu, all the way down the river, in order to find the supreme celestial phenomena and save the world, I hope the general will not shirk. ”

Zhang Lang saw that Zuo Ci was so insistent, so he didn't push it anymore, and then put it on the case, and thanked him: "Thank you for the treasure." ”

Zuo Ci stood upright, unceremoniously accepted Zhang Lang's salute, and laughed twice and said, "Since this is the case, Poor Dao is also going to leave." ”

Zhang Lang heard that Zuo Ci was leaving, and couldn't help but be reluctant in his heart, and when he talked to him, he felt like a spring breeze, and the whole person was in good spirits. However, I also know that a cultivator like Zuo Ci jumps out of the square circle, likes alchemy and cultivates, and travels all over the world in a closed world, which can be met but not sought. However, he still said at the exit: "I just met the Taoist today, why bother to leave suddenly, it is better to stay here for a few more days, so that the waves can be as good as the landlord." You can also ask the Taoist chief for a lesson or two, so as to gain knowledge? ”

Zuo Ci lowered his head and thought about it for only half a moment, so under Zhang Lang's expectation, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

At present, Zuo Ci talks about enlightenment, humanity, heaven and earth, although Zhang Lang does not know much about it, but he also listens to it with essence and taste, and he is very fascinated. When Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Tian Feng came in, Zhang Lang hurriedly pulled everyone to listen to the teaching, and the three of them were also fascinated by the teaching, shouting that it was not easy to be taught.

A few days later, the spy reported that several groups of Yan Tai Shi Ci and Chen Wu pretending to be water thieves had successfully crossed the river, and took the tiger forest, and then ransacked it, creating a false image, making Liu Miao think that it was another water thief doing chaos, did not prepare, and neglected the rear defense. After the troops were assembled, they did not stop, and after finding a few local people for questioning, they knew that Niuzhu was a major supply area for Taiping County, and the garrison was only 3,000, and because Chen Wu was quite familiar with the local terrain, he was ready to speak, Tai Shici decisively abandoned Guo Jia's original strategy of attacking Wuhu, and decided to bypass the three mountains, and in a state of being unconscious, he went straight into the middle of Jing County and Wuhu, and hit Niuzhu along the Qinhuai River to supplement Taiping County, and attacked it unprepared, and fought in a lightning battle. When he found out, he believed that the fire had been burned out, and then he rushed to kill the Niuzhu defense line from the rear, and at the same time put up the wind lantern, so that Zhang Lang's army opposite Jiangjin would come to respond, and attack Zhang Ying's brigade twice.

Zhang Lang was surprised that Tai Shici took the initiative to change the plan, but he also appreciated it very much, the generals were outside, the military orders were not granted, the plan was dead, the people were alive, how to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost, this is the most important thing. And in many cases, the plan catches up with the speed of the change, so it is necessary to lead the generals to save time and make the most correct choice. In this way, the person who leads the troops becomes extremely important. His choices will determine the battlefield and success or failure.

He also sent people to Liyang quickly, ordered Xu Shu to prepare the army, cooperate with himself and Tai Shici's two armies, go out to Moling, and drag Liu Xuan's army to the death, so that he could not spare more troops to support Zhang Ying. At the same time, Zhang Liaomi also paid attention to the movements of the Dantu, and as soon as there was a stir, he had to reflect it.

Zuo Ci saw that Zhang Lang was preparing to attack across the river, the arrangement was in good order, and he also had great confidence in this battle, so he happily left.

Zhang Lang felt a pity, but he also knew that this day would come sooner or later, people had joys and sorrows, the moon was cloudy and sunny, and he also saw it very openly. It's just that the Dunjia Heavenly Book, he only turned the first page, which made Zhang Lang move the idea of not turning the book. It reads: "The ancient sage of Ao Ruoji is also in the heaven and earth, the first of all sentient beings, and the opening and closing of yin and yang is ...... to the name of the object."

In the past few days after Zuo Ci left, the upstream secret agents quite crossed the river to report the whereabouts of Tai Shici's army, and reported the route, marching speed, morale, and so on. It is convenient for Zhang Lang to calculate when Tai Shici will arrive in Taiping under normal circumstances, so as to calculate the time to attack Taiping and Niu Zhu, so that he can make the best judgment and adjustment.

When the last spy secretly reported that Tai Shici had arrived at the junction of Jing County and Wuhu, within three days, he would be ready to attack Taiping along the river. Next, he suddenly lost contact with Tai Shici, and there was no news, and there was no spies to report back. This made Zhang Lang restless, and his heart was extremely anxious, did Dark En Tai Shi Ci run into the enemy army, or did there be any accident, but there should be news?

At this time, Tian Feng showed his calm and old age, and said calmly: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much, Ziyi is brave and wise, plus Chen Wu is very familiar with the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there will be no mistakes, according to the estimation of his subordinates, maybe after Ziyi's army entered the enemy's heartland, he was worried about sending spies back to the river to report the news frequently, for fear that if he was accidentally intercepted, it would be difficult to ensure that the matter would leak out, and it would be a loss of success." That's why I stopped spying back and forth. ”

Zhang Lang thought about it, but he still said uneasily: "Ziyi's lone army is deep, and he loses contact with the headquarters, in case something happens, we don't know anything, and if we fight alone, it will be very dangerous once we are surrounded." ”

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Yes, when sending troops to insert his heart from the rear, his subordinates declared in advance that this is the Longtan Tiger's Den, in case of three long and two short, there is no return, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated." Therefore, the selected generals must be cautious and cautious, one wrong move, and lose the whole game. Since the lord has sent Ziyi, and Chen Wu is complementary, he should have absolute trust in them and have confidence. I look at the talent of the Taishi Zici general, who is brave and strategic, and I don't think I will live up to the trust of the lord. Seeing that he no longer sends secret agents back and forth, he knows that his heart is as careful as a hair, and the lord is too worried. ”

Zhang Lang was relieved at this time, and frowned: "Then we don't have to wait for news here?" ”

Cheng Yu also said on the side: "Not necessarily, the lord can send more river patrol boats back and forth to observe the movements of Niuzhu Dazhai from afar." Once Niu Zhu has troops and horses transferred, and the wind lantern comes, it will be known that the army of Ziyi has arrived. It is the time when the armies come together; If Niu Zhu's soldiers and horses are mobilized, but there is no wind lamp, the ten ** Ziyi army horses may be discovered and besieged by Zhang Ying. At that time, our army can also make adjustments in time. It's just a big problem how to achieve the goal of peeping at Niu Zhu without being discovered. ”

Cheng Yu frowned at the end, stroked his temples with his hands, his eyes were thoughtful, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while.

Tian Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the key is that the river patrol team must be careful, and must not be discovered by Liu Xuanzhou's team. ”

Zhang Lang's eyes turned, and when he saw that everyone was thinking hard, he laughed and said: "Mr. Zhong don't have to worry, Lang has a way, you can send someone to make something for the Jiangshang spies, so that their observation range is wider, and they don't have to get close for fear of being discovered by the enemy." ”

When everyone heard this, all eyes came towards Zhang Lang. For Zhang Lang's endless and first-of-its-kind ideas, everyone can learn countless and eye-opening, which can be described as breathtaking.

Guo Jiaxing said excitedly: "What is the master's plan for this trip? Let Guo Jia and other subordinates solve the confusion in their hearts? ”

"Haha, what a clever plan, it's just a little gadget from my hometown, but it's very practical." Zhang Lang smiled and said incorrectly.
