Volume 5 Chapter 56 Attacking the Heart
There was silence, only the sparse sound of chewing.
The moonlight shone on the sea, and it was calm, and the golden ripples on the sea surface flowed quietly because of the moonlight, and this place that had not been visited by so many people for a long time.
The evening breeze hit, and there was a hint of coldness.
He Kun suddenly laughed, breaking the calm.
Everyone's eyes looked at him again, and some of the Sanying brothers had a murderous aura in their eyes, with the intention of killing Hekun.
Cheng Shiyong smiled and asked, "How is it?
He Kun stopped laughing at this time, the expression on his face changed instantly, and he only heard him say: "Our majesty is really born to use this imperial technique." Grace can't be given too much, too much, and power can't always be imposed on others, so this majesty is diligent and loves the people, but he is vicious, and there is a lot of black water in his belly. Such black-hearted people can be called hypocrites. ”
Cheng Shiyong was not forced to be speechless by He Kun's remarks, but opened his mouth and said: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been a man of great opportunities, foresight, and he has to look at three steps to take one step." You only care about this part of Duzhou, and the emperor wants to take care of it, but there are twenty state capitals like you in the world. If you don't know how well you know the art of emperors, where can you suppress so many strange people? You say that our Majesty has a clear face and a black heart, and you know that you dare to ask General He, how many emperors can be as diligent as Your Majesty throughout the ages? As for the black heart and general, you can't even guess my heart, how dare you judge Long Wei in vain?"
He Kun laughed, looked at Cheng Shiyong with a face full of confusion and said: "General Cheng, if you remember correctly, you are also an old general of the former dynasty." But now, His Majesty on the left, His Majesty on the left, and His Majesty on the other, are still thousands of miles away, risking the huge threat of capsizing from Minzhou, is this to set a good example of loyalty for future generations or to bear the infamy of being on the wall?"
Cheng Shiyong said unhurriedly: "Historical fame is written by the victors. Since ancient times, generals and princes have not escaped the four words of becoming a king or defeating a king. He and the general don't know the current affairs, and they blindly argue, and we can't come up with a reason when the day dawns. In the past, Cheng Mou admired and generals, and in front of the overall situation, the family descended to Xiao Shifeng, the world didn't understand you, but Cheng understood, because Cheng Mou did something similar to the general. It's just that now, Cheng is still sober, but he is confused with the general. ”
He Kun was a little drumming in his heart. Cheng Shiyong compared the example of his surrender to Xiao Shifeng with the example of his surrender to Xiao Shifeng, which is also just right, he observed the change of expression on Hekun's face, everything is like what Liu Shiqi said, Liu Junshi, he is really a god!
The art of war is cloudy, and the master attacks the heart, Cheng Shiyong didn't wait for He Kun to say more, and then continued: "The current situation, and the general should be clear. The rebels have their own ghosts, and they may bite each other at any time, but His Majesty's army is already monolithic and united. Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of more being destroyed and less destroyed, not to mention the current parity, but there is such a clear difference between the two. His Majesty recruited an and the general, one because he loved the people, and the other because he cherished his talents. If the general is obsessed with the city, and the soldiers of the White Elephant Clan are wiped out on the other day, with the general's understanding of their own people, will they be willing to give up? If they are not good at giving up, then our majesty will have no choice but to be a black-hearted person, put the world first, and destroy the unstable ethnic group of the White Elephant Clan. When the time comes, I am afraid that General He will be a sinner for the ages. ”
Cheng Shiyong seemed to be bitter, and said: "The White Elephant Clan is brave in battle, and Your Majesty also knows it." So it's a pity. Fang is under today, only Beiban Xirong is a big disaster for our dynasty. In the future, if Your Majesty can rely on the military might of the White Elephant Clan to sweep away even one of the two, it will be a great achievement. Mo said that the general inherited a throne, even if there were a few more brothers and princes, it was nothing. And what do you think of the general?"
Cheng Shiyong stated the interests and disadvantages, and every sentence was sonorous and powerful. Finally, it was implied that the White Elephant Clan could make great contributions in the future and make their own clansmen famous in the world, which was an unprecedented feat for the White Elephant Clan. The White Elephant people have lived in Duzhou for a long time, in fact, every dynasty and every generation are far away from the Central Plains, what princes and generals, there is no need to compare with each other at all, and the patriarchs of the past dynasties can be crowned officials, only because the monarch at that time was for the stability of the southwest border. In fact, they are very eager for the civilization of the Central Plains, but they always have a national plot, and they don't know whether they are consciously superior or inferior.
He Kun often thinks about this problem, but he didn't have many choices in the peaceful and prosperous world before. Now, though, there are plenty of options.
For example, self-reliance as a king, such as being crowned by the imperial court, and making meritorious contributions.
He Kun now suddenly understood that the stability and turmoil of the White Elephant Clan were actually tied to him alone, after all, he was the patriarch.
The burden of responsibility makes him very careful.
He Kun knows that his inner thoughts cannot be expressed to others, and sometimes it is far better to be arrogant than to be inferior.
I only heard He Kun say calmly: "The general's words seem to be for the sake of He and the White Elephant people behind him, and they are just to meet the needs of their own tactics. If I'm not mistaken, the movements of me and the White Elephant Army will affect the entire battle situation in the future. ”
Cheng Shiyong paused, and suddenly laughed.
He Kun frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you frog at the bottom of the well. Cheng Shiyong's eyes were like torches, and he looked at He Kun and said: "Do you really think that this rebellion has won the hearts of the people? You provoked the war, you destroyed the peace, and the rebel army produced a young master of the former dynasty, and that is also the descendant of the tyrant, where does the people's will come from? Many evils will eventually harm others and themselves, and the general, do you still need to think twice?"
Cheng Shiyong's tone was just right, and years of caution made him better understand Hekun's psychology.
Liu Shiqi sent Cheng Shiyong to come, but he also took a fancy to his characteristics, he and He Kun are the two flaunts of the White Elephant Clan and the Central Plains, the two of them are very similar.
Cheng Shiyong's half of his heart and bottom of his heart can resonate with He Kun.
This is Liu Shiqi's cleverness.
Asked by Cheng Shiyong, He Kun completely put down his shelf and asked: "If I don't agree today, won't you let me go?" If I agree today, how can Your Majesty defend this message in the future?"
Cheng Shiyong replied one by one: "If you don't agree, I will let you go today." You are in charge of Duzhou, you hold the military power of the White Elephant Clan, you are the enemy of the imperial court, and you will be ruthless in the future. If you agree, Your Majesty's holy purpose is this, and you will accept it. “
"Holy Decree?" He Kun wondered why Cheng Shiyong didn't take out the Holy Decree directly.
Cheng Shiyong saw it clearly, so he said: "I'm afraid that you won't believe this holy decree, so I haven't taken it out." Now you will promise, and I will give it to you. There is no Your Majesty here, there is no imperial court, you and I are at the same level, and there are not many courtesies. “
Cheng Shi bravely spoke, took out a golden scroll from his sleeve and threw it to He Kun, He Kun reached out to catch it, and his brows tightened.
