Han Dao world

Chapter 524 Human Nature and Animal Nature

After a few gossips, Liu Xie returned to the topic and asked Han Sui why he came.

Although he felt that Han Sui couldn't say anything new, he just came to show his loyalty.

"Your Majesty, during the banquet, I took a closer look." Han Sui held the teacup with a focused expression. "Several guards around Yan Chi are wearing the armor of our Han army. It must have been thrown to them by Ma Chao not long ago. It can be seen that these armors are not small for the temptation of the Xianbei people. The tribes of Xianbei are constantly fighting each other. Who has more Whoever has more armor can be the king and hegemony, so other tribes will definitely not watch Yan Chi take it all."

"But I didn't see any other tribes," Liu Xie said.

"They are waiting and watching." Han Sui was already prepared. "If they decide not to come, with the strength of the Wild Wolf tribe, Yan Chi will not be so presumptuous."

Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.He is not afraid of the Red Sun Tribe and Kuangsha Tribe coming, but he is afraid that they will not come.The scout hadn't heard any news about other tribes, so he was still a little uneasy. After hearing Han Sui's analysis, he finally felt relieved.

"In order to strengthen Yan Chi's confidence and lure other tribes to come together, I plan to send some people to take the initiative to fight tomorrow, show weakness to meet the enemy, and let Yan Chi taste some sweetness."

"Who are you going to arrange to fight against?"

"Cheng Gongying." Han Sui said in a deep voice: "Most of his subordinates are Qiang Qingqi, and many of them rebelled in the past. They are wild and used to being reckless. They often disobey orders and act without authorization. I plan to send them to fight. Banquet to show that the army is not disciplined. After the defeat, I took advantage of the situation to withdraw their soldiers from the battlefield and let them rush to Juyanze to ambush."

Liu Xie's eyes flashed, and he took a deep look at Han Sui.

The corner of Han Sui's mouth twitched slightly. "Does Your Majesty think it is feasible?"

Liu Xie thought for a moment. "feasible."

Han Sui heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands excitedly. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will control the situation and will never affect His Majesty's overall arrangements."

Liu Xie smiled and said nothing.

Han Sui had great ambitions.Before the winner was decided on the frontal battlefield, he was thinking about mobilizing his main force, recharging his energy, and preparing for the pursuit.As for whether there is any intention to preserve strength, it is still uncertain.But by doing so, he will obviously transfer more pressure to the imperial army.If he didn't have enough confidence, Han Sui's suggestion would be threatening.

To ask Han Sui to work hard and count on him to protect, naturally he should give more benefits.

Regardless of whether Han Sui has such thoughts subjectively, objectively, he has such suspicions.

He didn't think Han Sui was the kind of person who would speak out when he got excited.

But he has enough confidence, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about whether Han Sui intends to threaten him.To put it bluntly, even if Han Sui didn't come, he was sure to defeat the Xianbei people with the Forbidden Army, but he couldn't wipe them all out.

Dignity comes from strength.Although the imperial army's strength is small, less than [-] people in total, they have not relaxed their training for more than two years, and their equipment has been kept improving. It is still very easy to kill tens of thousands of Xianbei people head-on.

This battle was not only for the Xianbei people, but also for Han Sui.

No matter what Han Sui thinks, in the face of real strength, he has no other choice but to surrender.

-

After Han Sui left, Liu Xie thought about it again and sent someone to invite Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was very calm after listening.

"This is Han Sui, and it is also the characteristic of many Xiliang people." Jia Xu smiled silently, feeling a little helpless. "Life is difficult. At any time, you must first establish yourself in an invincible position in order to survive. It seems shrewd, but in fact it is short-sighted and difficult to become a master."

Liu Xie showed a slight smile. "Maybe it's human nature."

"instinct?"

"Innate." Liu Xie changed the word. "Or it's animal nature. Survival is always the first priority."

Jia Xu blinked and didn't speak, but looked a little embarrassed.

Liu Xie picked up a piece of dry wood and threw it into the fire. "Everyone has animal nature. It is not shameful to have animal nature, but animal nature alone is definitely not enough. Similarly, it is not advisable to deliberately ignore animal nature for the sake of humanity. I remember someone said, losing humanity, losing a lot. Losing animal nature, losing Everything. The failure of Confucianism sometimes lies in the fact that it is too demanding, ignores the basic needs of people, and becomes a theory against one's will."

Jia Xu's eyes flickered, as if realizing something.After a while, he said again: "Your Majesty's words are close to the distinction between Confucianism and Legalism. Legalism emphasizes farming and warfare, seeking survival. Confucianism emphasizes education, seeking morality. If there is law without Confucianism, it is difficult to separate from animal nature. Humanity is hard to find if Confucianism can't be done. Your Majesty's promotion of enlightenment in Xiliang is to seek human nature on the basis of animal nature."

Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh. "So, it's about the same."

"I also ask Your Majesty to enlighten me on the unsatisfactory meaning."

"True human nature can contain animal nature and surpass animal nature." Liu Xie said lightly: "If the promotion of enlightenment cannot make people survive better, this kind of enlightenment must be incomplete, if not wrong."

Jia Xu let out a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty understands. Your Majesty takes Bingliang as the foundation and seeks the way of rejuvenation. It seems to be re-taking the road of Qin and the world, but in fact it is returning to simplicity, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the source."

Liu Xie stared at Jia Xu and couldn't help smiling. "Emperor Gao divided Hanzhong back then, with Zhang Liang as his assistant, and the Han Dynasty ruled the world for four hundred years. Now that I have moved to the northwest, I have a gentleman to assist me. I don't dare to hope that Han will be like Zhou, and the world will last for eight hundred years. It should be hopeful."

Jia Xu quickly waved his hands. "How dare I compare myself with Marquis Liu."

"You deserve it," Liu Xie said. "I will give you this chance."

Jia Xu remembered the conversation with Liu Xie and smiled knowingly. "The minister will be disrespectful and try his best."

-

The battle is imminent, and the Xianbei people are lurking on the side like a pack of wolves, and they may launch a thunderous blow at any time.Everyone is on high alert, people don't disarm, horses don't untie their saddles.Liu Xie was no exception. He slept in his clothes until dawn.

Woke up early in the morning, finished washing, and was eating breakfast when Ma Yunlu walked in.

"Your Majesty, I have a request."

Liu Xie raised his head and looked at Ma Yunlu while drinking porridge. "Want to fight?"

Ma Yunlu nodded awkwardly.

She is qualified to participate in the pre-military meeting, knowing that the Yubayashi women's battalion is arranged in the back battalion, as the guards of the queen, nobles and the generals' female families.But she is not reconciled, she wants to participate in the battle like everyone else.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, and I will let you fight." Liu Xie finished the last mouthful of porridge and put down the bowl and chopsticks. "I have spent so much time building the women's battalion, and I will never let you become a display. It's just that when you go into battle, you have to be particular about it."

Ma Yunlu beamed with joy. "Then...can Your Majesty speak more clearly so that I can explain it to the knights under my command?"

"I can't tell them for now, but I can tell you." Liu Xie waved. "Come here with your ears."

Ma Yunlu blushed immediately.She stared at Liu Xie twice, still biting her lip, summoned up her courage, and moved her ears closer.
