Although the powerful people and nobles of the Shang Kingdom have made plans to expand outward, long preparations must be made before going to war.
Especially today's Shang Dynasty.
Han Yin finally fully penetrated and implemented the power of the general into the army where various factions were intertwined.
In the past, Han Yin was like an official in the Song Dynasty. ——It can be said in a simple way that nominal and real power cannot be grasped at the same time.
When Han Yin can command an army designated by Shang Ziyin to fight, he has no name to mobilize other armies, and the command authority is temporary.
When you can arrange the overall arrangement of the army in the camp, you have no power to direct these armies when to attack. The name of scheduling is not permanent either. .net
Doing this is just because of your faith.
And today, Hanyin finally lives up to its name.
He can recruit troops. This is treatment and private rights, which shows his dignity and makes people dare not underestimate him. He can know the military strength of the six major princes and the northern and southern territories, and can make orders and control them. Trial orders, rewards and punishments, dispatch, and command.
He can see every detail in the military with his eyes of power. He can also use the hand of power to adjust and shape the overall benevolence of the army.
This is the real general. A true leader of an army. Only such a great general can lead the world and avoid disasters.
If you are not a true hero, you will not dare to use force. It is not a true encounter, and it does not hold both power and name.
Shang Ziyin naturally took advantage of Han Yin, but this kindness was made from Han swords and Tang swords - made of iron.
During this period, Han Yin has been integrating the various armies that Shang State forcibly brought together.
Following the general as he walked along the camp roads that were becoming more and more solemn due to military orders, Wang Zhiwei felt more and more Han Yin's talents.
But the more he saw and felt all this, and the more he understood Han Yin's arrangement and improvement of the caravan, the more Wang Zhiwei felt sad.
Han Yin and every monk who saluted him smiled back.
Wang Zhiwei finally couldn't help but sigh, "Li Chijie and Wei Shengzu recruited troops for you. That was the first time I felt your prestige among the empire's casual cultivators and sect commoners."
"Look, nine of the ten people who salute you are like this." A monk's face turned red because of the friendly smile of the general, and his steps were shaky when he stepped back.
Seeing this, Wang Zhiwei continued to sigh quietly, "Now, this feeling is even more profound."
"They also want to make contributions. They are the same people as you and me. The same ordinary people." Han Yin responded calmly.
Wang Zhiwei nodded muffledly upon hearing this.
Han Yin saw Wang Zhiwei's state and held the sword at his waist. The cold and solemn loneliness returned to the general.
He stated, "In order for me to better command the Shang Kingdom's conquest weapons, Shang Ziyin has sent many Ningding Peaks for me to dispatch.—Their eyes all have the look of a dead soldier."
"Perhaps you can be like King Gou Jian of Yue, who could make the dead soldiers commit suicide one after another with just an order." Wang Zhiwei reluctantly agreed.
Han Yin's eyes swept across the sky and he sighed softly, "Shang Ziyin hopes that I can rely on these dead soldiers to protect myself, rely on these people to break through the Ningding realm and recast my broken limbs."
Wang Zhiwei was silent.
In fact, both of them knew it well. One wants to ask about the choice between homeland and kindness, but the other only talks about the kindness he has received.
When Han Yin turned around and saw her old friend's sad face, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You're not even a hundred years old, how come you have gray hair?"
Wang Zhiwei met Han Yin's gaze and saw Han Yin's black hair, like an iron branch, about to burst into arrogance.
Wang Zhiwei smiled helplessly, "Everything in the world cannot be controlled by others. In the past, my subordinates only wanted to prove the way of assassination in Renhuang Province. After all, as an ordinary disciple of the sect, and without outstanding talents, he could only take advantage of the sword... Later, he met Gu Brother, I want to come here and make a name for myself in this world..."
"I never expected that I would get to this point today and end up here..."
Han Yin patted Wang Zhiwei on the shoulder, "My hometown is dear, but my local accent is hard to change. I understand. - My master was once a famous swordsman in Luoyang Li. After Luoyang Li was hunted down, the master took in several Luoyang Li. Monk."
"There was an eccentric and stubborn old man among them. He only drank water from his own teapot. He had very serious injuries. It was unclear whether they were caused by following the Supreme Being or caused by avoiding pursuit. In short...after his death The previous evening, he broke his old, worthless teapot and crushed it into dust."
Han Yin was silent for a moment, and continued after a moment, "He found the Grand Master and told me that this teapot was made from the soil of his hometown when he joined the Supreme Army. It is not a rare item. - He hopes... to have his remains... Burn it to ashes, mix it with the soil from your hometown and scatter it into the river at the door. Smelling the smell of the soil, maybe it can flow back to your hometown..."
"Master asked him if he had never returned to his hometown in so many years? He sneered and said that he couldn't find it anymore. By the time he wanted to look for it, everything was no longer yesterday." Han Yin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed quietly, "I didn't know it then. Understand, since things have changed and people have changed, why should we remain attached to it forever?”
Han Yin looked at the entire camp. The increasingly capable and efficient style in the camp was replacing the lazy and indulgent atmosphere of the past. He felt happy and worried.
"Even though the experience in the sect's provinces was not good, I walked through the wind, sand, snow and frost on that land step by step. I will never forget it after all." Han Yin stood in the camp with a calm tone.
"I know you have a good friend waiting for you." Han Yin's tone became brisk, "Life is often beyond your control, but it is up to you to decide what kind of person you want to be."
"You don't have to be like me, you don't have to be loyal to the Shang Kingdom. And I, I can't live up to Shang Ziyin's great kindness. - He is the one who realized my ideal of commanding an army and worshiping a general and accepting orders. I want to repay him."
"Have you heard of Bian Zhuangzi?" Han Yin looked at Wang Zhiwei with sharp eyes like an eagle.
Wang Zhiwei was stunned for a moment.
Han Yin laughed and said, "Hey, it seems that you need to study more. Don't worry about me, and don't worry about your future. I will pursue Bian Zhuangzi. I will live my life like Bian Zhuangzi. It's enough to know this."...
Wang Zhiwei soon learned that Bian Zhuangzi was a scholar-bureaucrat of the Lu state during the Spring and Autumn Period in the history of the Great Wilderness.
This scholar was defeated three times in battles with Qi State because his mother was still alive. He clearly had the courage to kill the tiger, but he was defeated three times.
Everyone looked down upon him and ridiculed him.
After serving his mother to the end, Bian Zhuangzi won three consecutive battles. People around him begged him to stop fighting. Bian Zhuangzi replied, "A man of integrity will live a life worthy of humiliation." So he rushed into the enemy army, fought hard and died.
When Wang Zhiwei read this history book, he understood everything.
Loyalty to the country and repaying kindness are difficult to have both ways.
Some people in later generations thought that Bian Zhuangzi had washed away his shame, so why should he die and cut off his family's incense? It was really not worth it.
But Wang Zhiwei understood that three victories could not wash away past disloyalty to the country. So he repaid him with death.
The person dies but retains his integrity.
This was the integrity of the scholars of that era. It is also unique to integrity, that romantic and stubborn spirit.
When Wang Zhiwei understood that Han Yin chose to embrace death, he didn't know how Han Yin made up his mind and how he viewed life and death.
He just seemed to see Han Yin open his arms, embrace the wind and clouds in the world, and let out a happy laugh.
The laughter was silent, and the joy filled the world.
However, knowing Han Yin's choice and understanding Han Yin's end point, Wang Zhiwei felt more and more ashamed and wanted to prove something more.
Wang Zhiwei himself could not explain his confusion. All questions are left to be answered by reality.
