A gust of cold wind blew past with a biting chill. Zhang Ji's body trembled slightly and he suddenly opened his eyes.
The scene in front of me is still the Du You Pavilion.
However, everything seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
Calm eyes swept over everyone's face, including the sinister smile on "Bai Qi"'s face, the regret on Bei Mingzi's face, the sadness and indignation on the faces of Mrs. Xu, Han Shen, Qin Zhao and other Mo family disciples... and Feiyan and Frightened Salamander.
Feiyan's fair and pretty face was full of sadness at the moment.
It seems that his appearance has softened the heart of Dongjun, the cold-blooded and ruthless Yin-Yang family.
However, what surprised him the most was the expression on Jing Salamander's beautiful and refined face - expressionless.
Jing Salamander seemed to have accepted the fact that Zhang Ji was about to be taken away by "Bai Qi". He accepted it faster than anyone else. The cold-blooded and ruthless nature of the Snare Killer was best demonstrated in her body at this moment.
However, Zhang Ji knew that Frightened Salamander should have already decided to die.
Every master has to find his own "Tao". Zhang Ji didn't know what the Tao of Jing Salamander was, and he had never asked Jing Salamander about it, but Jing Salamander's aura became more and more powerful at this moment, even no less powerful than some The aura surrounding the veteran grandmaster has increased, and is still strengthening.
This is preparation for overdrawing and squeezing the future internal energy from the eight extraordinary meridians.
Judging from the posture of Jing Salamander, it seems that he wants to completely overdraw the eight extraordinary meridians and die together with "Bai Qi".
Even the faces of Six-fingered Black Man and Donghuang Taiyi... well, one of them is wearing a mask and the other is wearing a hood, so the expressions on their faces can't be seen at all.
"Chi'er, think about your original intention and why you joined Great Qin."
Ruoyouruowu's voice of vicissitudes of life passed into Zhang Ji's mind. Although he had lost his inner strength and Zhanlu, Zhang Ji, who knew that he was about to become a dying person, was stronger than ever.
"I'm so crazy about your mother! You're such a crazy person, your whole family is crazy, and your eighteen generations of ancestors and descendants are all fucking crazy!"
Although he didn't know which expert from hundreds of families wanted to wake him up, he couldn't help but cursed.
If I didn't come out to help when I fell into the illusion, I would have lost all my inner strength. Zhan Lu had already defiled himself and abandoned his master. I found out that "Bai Qi", the killer embryo, was about to seize his body and reappear in the world. I knew something was wrong and came to stop it.
Grandma, what I hate the most is the old guys hiding in various families. One by one, they pass the position of master to their disciples, hide themselves and live happily, and leave all the bad things to others to deal with. Where is their face? ,
Hearing Zhang Ji's scolding, the white-haired figure wearing a wooden crown and black and white clothes paused, with a complex expression on his face, as if he was considering whether to directly break the barrier of resentment and pull the bastard underneath. Come up and slap the board on your butt.
But after thinking about it, he realized that this bastard had scolded him anyway, so he didn't bother to argue with him and didn't say a word.
After cursing for a long time, seeing that no one showed up, Zhang Ji couldn't help but shook his head. It seemed that his method of provoking the generals had failed.
Originally, he wanted to directly rely on the unknown senior to help, but it seemed that his little trick was seen through by the other party.
Sure enough, those immortal guys are all old turtles. They may not all be fulfilling their duties, but they definitely have the patience of a Sima old man.
However, Zhang Ji was not annoyed and sat cross-legged, thinking about his original intention and the reason for joining Da Qin.
He understood that the unknown senior wanted him to remember his original intention of joining Qin, which was to "unify the world and restore peace." He would not forget that the purpose of using force to pacify the world was to quell the war.
But he had to admit that the war of annihilation carried out by Bai Qi to eliminate the effective forces of various countries in Shandong was indeed the fastest way to quell the war. It was also the reason why Qin was able to create a world hegemon with a small number of enemies.
Still the same.
These two words popped into Zhang Ji's mind.
He had understood the meaning of "Shang Tong" very early, which meant advocating for the unification of the world. This was also the thought of Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mohist family. However, he had never been recognized by the "Mo Jing" and had never broken through to the level of a half-step master. state, obviously not satisfied with his answer.
It's just that Zhang Ji didn't understand. Isn't it the most beneficial thing for all the people in the world to quell the war as quickly as possible?
The city would change hands again and again, just like his hometown Anyi, which fell into the hands of Qin many times, but was eventually recaptured by the five-nation coalition led by Lord Xinling and returned to Wei.
The city will always stand there quietly, but every soldier will die and one will be missing. As long as the enemy country does not have enough soldiers, it can easily win the victory and pacify the world. The Qin Kingdom in history Isn't that also true?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ji fell silent.
Yes, this was the case with the Qin State in history, so the Qin State perished.
The hatred brought by the killings made the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, who had no idea of unification, accumulate too much hatred for Qin. Only Ying Zheng, the emperor who created unification, could suppress this chaotic situation. However, just a few years after his death, the Qin State fell apart, and the world returned to the era of war again.
Therefore, if we want to establish eternal peace, we must not deepen the hatred between the people of the Six Kingdoms and Qin, but must also achieve ideological unity.
This ideological unity is not the ideological unity of later generations that "deposes hundreds of schools of thought and respects Confucianism alone", but rather no longer refers to the nationalities of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, Qi, Qin and other countries, but recognizes that each other is the same as Yan and Huang Descendants recognize the name of China and recognize themselves as the ideological unity of the Chinese people.
And this, perhaps, is the "Shangtong" he should choose as a disciple of the Mohist School!
Therefore, the first thing to do is to change the Qin army's habit and style of "counting the first and awarding titles" and "honoring the first merit", and instead develop "righteous soldiers".
"When entering the enemy's territory, the people will know where they are sheltering, and the head of Guizhou will know that they will not die. As for the relationship between the state and the city, they will not abuse the grain, dig graves, cut down trees, burn accumulations, burn houses, or take livestock. Get the people's tribute and return it with a title, so as to show your likes and dislikes, and trust the people's expectations, so as to seize the enemy's assets."
"Ordinary soldiers will not attack a city without fault, and will not kill innocent people. The husband's father and brother who killed others, the goods and wealth of others, and the children of the concubines are all stolen. Therefore, soldiers should punish riots and cannot prohibit riots. Righteousness. When troops are deployed, farmers will not leave their fields, businessmen will not leave their houses, and scholars and officials will not leave their government offices. The decision of military affairs depends on one person, so the army will not be bloody and the world will be close to each other."
Zhang Ji used his hand as a pen to write and draw on the sandy ground, writing down his thoughts.
What is meant by Xingyi soldiers is to not harm the lives of the people after breaking the city, not to destroy the people's property, liberate the people from the tyranny of other countries, and treat the people of other countries well.
The same goes for conquests. They no longer pursue annihilation battles in which beheadings are counted as merit. Instead, the captured enemy soldiers are included in the consideration of military merit, and the merit is even greater than beheading. In this way, the style of the Qin army will be changed. The Qin army transformed from a tiger and wolf army in the eyes of the world to a benevolent and righteous army.
Even though such benevolence and righteousness will cost more, Qin now has the strength, and the price is worth paying.
And this should be Zhang Ji's "non-attack"!
In an instant, time resumed its flow.
For a moment, Zhang Ji seemed to have figured out something and opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
The internal energy that was originally scattered in the air was suddenly sucked into the body by the seemingly thin body. The invisible dam in the meridians around the body became increasingly fragile, and was washed away by the vast and pure internal energy like a river.
The most turbulent "river" rushed towards the Dantian, converging with the "rivers" from the limbs and bones, and poured into the Dantian together.
Under the impact of the rivers of pure internal energy, the fragile dantian began to shatter, and then recovered in an instant. If you observe carefully, you can find that the dantian in Zhang Ji's body is expanding more and more as it is broken and restored again and again.
Eventually, the "rivers" converged into a vast ocean.
The armor on his body suddenly shattered, and the armor pieces shot out in all directions.
"Is this the realm of a master?"
Holding the Zhanlu Sword, which had regained its jet-black blade and exuded a sense of tranquility and peace, but also had a majestic aura of victory, Zhang Ji took a deep breath.
The strong wind howled and swept in, making Zhang Ji's clothes flutter.
