Hearing what the old man said, Liu Deng immediately stood up straight, and his body was ready to listen to the old man's speech. After all, when the old man was not talking nonsense, what he said was actually very insightful, and every angle was unique and to the point. .
"You also know that they are descendants of the old generals of the previous dynasty. Although the world has been at peace for many years and they have not raised the banner of rebellion, which emperor can tolerate his subordinates to rescue the people of the previous dynasty? ?”
After putting on enough airs, the old man spoke directly.
Hearing what the old man said, Liu Deng could only smile bitterly in his heart. He probably understood what the old man meant. The best thing to do was to ignore it and turn a deaf ear.
Yes, this is indeed the best solution now, but Liu Deng always feels a little unwilling in his heart.
The total number of Han people in the world is only that small, distributed over a vast land, and excluding those under the rule of the old, weak, sick, and those with ulterior motives.
Those who truly dare to fight, are able to fight, and are good at fighting are really rare and rare.
It is a miracle that these people have been able to confront the Huns on the Xiongnu grasslands for so many years by themselves, and they have survived until now. This shows that their fighting power is so powerful that ordinary people cannot do it. Competitive.
If they were in another place, even Liu Deng might not be able to do better than them.
After all, although the Xiongnu land is vast, they are located in the heart of the enemy's country.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
This truth was not only understood by Song Taizu in later generations, these people were simply invisible swords.
To the Huns, their existence was nothing more than a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. !
With their strength, how could the Huns be able to safely let them move freely in their own heartland? You can imagine how harsh their living environment is.
In a desperate situation, they can still risk their lives to stick to their beliefs. Such loyal people, Liu Deng is really unwilling to let them die.
It would be fine if he didn't know, but now that he knew their deeds, how could he let them be annihilated by the Huns?
With their existence, they can naturally contain a large number of Huns and create favorable conditions for everything Liu Deng does later.
Even though they were unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty, as long as they reached some tacit understanding with them, they could stab such a life-threatening sword in the heart of the Huns without spending a single soldier.
If you put aside the political stance of both parties and put aside all political influences, this kind of transaction is profitable no matter what.
But Liu Deng also understood that what the old man said was actually the most reasonable.
Sun Tzu's Art of War talks about how to plan a war and attack, but if the management of the court fails, what will happen even if the battle is won?
Wrong direction, everything is wrong!
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, this is the real strategy of military conquest!
"I know you kid has a benevolent heart, but in this matter, if you have a benevolent heart, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss!"
The old man said meaningfully.
After listening to Zhang Shisan's words, Liu Deng remained silent for a long time. Yes, what he said was indeed correct, but it went against Liu Deng's purpose as a human being.
"Young man, I want to hear your best and worst strategies!"
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Deng spoke again.
"It seems like you still don't want to give up. Anyway, I'm here to tell you about the best strategy!"
Zhang Shisan smiled bitterly and shook his head, but the admiration in his eyes became even stronger.
A real man does something and doesn't do something. This is very rare for many people in power.
More often than not, as those in power, they only look at interests and not right or wrong.
Because to them, right or wrong is meaningless.
For ordinary people, right and wrong always have to be clearly distinguished.
But for the superiors, all this actually means nothing at all.
Because all the rules of right and wrong in this world are customized by them. As the makers of the rules, how can they care about the right and wrong of the rules themselves?
History is always written by the victors, so the overlord of Western Chu, who was a hero at that time, turned into a coward in the end.
The local ruffians who lived in disgrace in Peixian County turned out to be unparalleled heroes...
Zhang Shisan is considered well-informed. He has experienced four emperors of the Han Dynasty in his life, and has met countless princes surnamed Liu.
But the more this happened, the more he admired idiots like Liu Deng.
There are too many smart people in this world. They always want to take shortcuts and take advantage of the world. They never consider issues such as ethics, justice and shame.
Isn’t Wu Wang Liu Bi a living example?
At that time, on the banks of the Wei River, Liu Bang killed a white horse as an oath, and he and all the kings surnamed Liu and all the officials in the court jointly swore that anyone not named Liu but a king would be attacked by the whole world!
After swearing the oath, Liu Bang called Liu Bi aside and said meaningfully to Liu Bi, "If you are contrary to your appearance, how could it be that there was chaos in the southeast in the fifty years after the Han Dynasty?" However, people with the same surname in the world should be careful not to rebel!
It means that if someone shows you a fortune teller and tells you that you have a rebellious bone in the back of your head, and that fifty years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, there will be a rebellion in the southeast. Could this person be you? The world is originally one family, you have to think clearly whether you want to rebel or not!
Of course, Liu Bi was very frightened at the time. At that time, he was only in his early twenties.
Moreover, he is wise and decisive, and he seems to be very talented. Of course, he will not admit that he will rebel...
How did he do it?
He knelt down to Liu Bang on the spot, cursed and swore that he would never rebel in the future. Liu Bang had no more evidence at the time, and Liu Bi did have military merit at that time, so he believed him for the time being.
But in the decades after Liu Bang's death, King Wu Liu Bi's whole person changed. He began to become greedy for enjoyment. His greed made his desires stronger and stronger, so that in the end, he could no longer control Han. The Emperor Shi took it to heart...
Friendship is really worthless to him.
Zhang Shisan has seen too many betrayals in his life. As he gets older, he only sees a little bit of beauty in Liu Deng...
Therefore, the more Liu Deng chooses to take the middle of the road, the less he can hide his appreciation for Liu Deng...
"Please give me advice, sir!"
Liu Deng adjusted his clothes while speaking, and then bowed respectfully to Zhang Shisan.
"This is a good idea. You might as well report this matter to the imperial court and see how the emperor reacts!"
