Humane Yongchang

Chapter 219 The Debate of Benevolence and Righteousness
"Yuzhou Prefecture sent [-] troops to the north to support Yingchuan?"

Chen Sheng frowned deeply as he looked at the silk book in his hand.

He folded the silk book and handed it to the audience a few times before the case: "Please take a look at Mr. Fan... Come here, take the map of Yanzhou and Yuzhou!"

The audience took the silk book with both hands, bowed and stepped back from the county governor's office, and gave both hands to Fan Zeng, who was on the left below the county governor's office.

Fan Zeng took the silk book, opened it and glanced at it, and there was a solemn look on his old face.

After a while, the map of Yanzhou and Yuzhou taken by the attendant on duty was laid out in the county governor's office.

Chen Sheng stepped down from the office, took off his shoes and socks, walked slowly as in the map, and carefully observed the terrain at the junction of the two states.

Yuzhou is in the shape of a belt and is located at the lower left of Yanzhou.

Chen County is the only county in Yanzhou that borders Yuzhou.

Fan Zeng got up, walked to the edge of the map, stood still, stroked his beard and said, "Why is Your Majesty worried? Is it for Yang Zhai or for the soldiers of the Thirty Thousand Houses?"

Chen Sheng turned his head to look at him: "What's the difference?"

Fan Zeng stared at him and said calmly, "It is easy to break Yangzhai, but it is also easy to break the soldiers of the [-] government. It is difficult to break the soldiers of the [-] government!"

Chen Sheng lowered his eyelids, as if not surprised at all: "Fire and water attack, right?"

Fan Zeng was stunned for a while, seemingly at a loss.

This is not a serious process of conspiracy between monarchs and ministers!
How could a counselor just raise a suspense, the lord not only did not ask why, but gave the answer right away?

Are you a counselor, or am I a counselor?
Like you, my counsellor has no sense of existence!
But Fan Zeng was Fan Zeng. He quickly cleared up his messy thoughts and asked in amazement, "Your Majesty, have you thought about it for a long time?"

"Um……"

Chen Sheng gave a light "um", and said lightly, "I don't know if it was the clever idea to build Yangzhai City on both sides of the Yingshui, just build embankments on the upper stream, and then dig it, and then the water will flow. Yanyang Zhai, do not attack yourself!"

"As for the [-] soldiers in Yuzhou, it's even a joke. Knowing that Runan borders the counties in the southwest of my Chen County, they dare to march on the waterway so struttingly. I really don't take my Chen Sheng in my eyes. It is necessary to choose a shoal, scuttle a few large ships, block the waterway, and when the large ships carrying [-] soldiers from the government are silted on the river, and then lure them with rockets, the [-] soldiers can be set on fire!”

Fan Zeng listened to him with a stiff expression, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

What he thought of was the only way to attack by water. This method can break both Yangzhai and [-] soldiers... But this method can only be used once. After Wanfu soldiers were submerged in water, they still didn't know how to prevent this!
That's why he said, "It is easy to break Yangzhai, and it is easy to break [-] soldiers, but it is difficult to break Yangzhai and break [-] soldiers."

As a result, just after the front foot finished speaking, Chen Sheng slapped the back foot in the face!
This two-pronged attack, water and fire, can be carried out in a two-pronged way, that is, to defeat Yangzhai and [-] Yuzhou Prefecture soldiers!
At this moment, Fan Zeng also felt that he could not be a counselor!

Just when Fan Zeng's heart collapsed, he suddenly heard Chen Sheng sigh, "It's a pity that neither of these two methods can be used."

He raised his eyelids suspiciously, "Why?"

Chen Sheng looked up at him even more puzzled: "Do you think we can drown Yang Zhai?"

As soon as Fan Zeng heard it, he immediately understood what he was thinking. He stroked his face without changing his face and said, "What Your Majesty wants to do is something that has never changed in Kyushu for a long time. How can such a big event be restricted to the benevolence of women?"

Chen Sheng frowned, and looked at him as if he had just met him for the first time today: "In your eyes, the life and death of more than 20 people in Yangzhai County is the benevolence of a woman?"

Fan Zeng looked at him calmly, and asked back: "Then Your Majesty, do you know that if you lose the battle, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in Chen County?"

"They are my old folks of Chen Sheng, and they are also the people of Da Zhou!"

Chen Sheng frowned and replied without hesitation: "If I lose the battle, they may not get better in the future, but they won't get any worse!"

Obviously, he has long thought about this problem!

After a pause, he continued: "There is something wrong with your logic! In order to do a good thing, you can ignore the bad things you do in the process?"

"If I, Chen Sheng, disregard the life and death of the 20 million people in Yangdi County for the sake of victory today, wouldn't I be worse than those in power in the court who regard the people of the world as cattle and horses? Then what qualifications do I have? People all over the world shouted, 'Will princes and generals be better off?'? Why should the people of the world believe in an executioner who killed 20 or [-] people to achieve his goal?"

Fan Zeng looked at him with a frown, and said solemnly: "Tang of Shang started the business for Xia Chen's destruction of Xia, King Wen established Zhou for the destruction of Shang by the Shang Hou, and the rise and fall of ancient times, but the winner is the prince and the loser is a thief! Benevolence? Only the winner is the winner. There is an opportunity to demonstrate benevolence and righteousness. The loser dies without a corpse. Where can he describe his benevolence and righteousness? Tomoya!"

"I am not burdened by the name of benevolence and righteousness, but the name of benevolence and righteousness is only a floating cloud!"

Chen Sheng said forcefully, "What I value is kindness!"

Fan Zeng: "What's the difference?"

Chen Sheng: "The name of benevolence is a fancy dress for others to see, and the heart of benevolence is the backbone that supports the personality!"

"As long as I know that what I'm doing is right, I'll have nothing to fear even if I'm pointed out by thousands of people and stinks for thousands of years!"

"If what I do can't even pass my own test, and I still try to do it, how can I still be me? If I am not me, even if I sit on the throne of the emperor tomorrow, what meaning does it have to me? In the world What is the benefit of the people?"

"Fan Gong, this is the second time you and I have discussed this topic, and I don't want to hear it for the third time."

"Chen Sheng can die for his ideals, and he will never let innocents die because of Chen Sheng's ideals!"

Fan Zeng stared at him blankly, and after a long silence, he sighed and bowed to Chen Shengchang to the end: "I am ashamed of this minister, please punish your lord."

Chen Sheng Yaoyao lifted him up, sighed, and said earnestly: "I know that what Mr. Fan said is all my plan, but a man who lives in the middle of heaven and earth, should do what he should do and what he should not do, and there are no taboos, he is definitely not a human being. !"

Fan Zeng bowed his hands again with sincerity: "The brilliance of the lord is like a bright sun shining through the ages, and the servants have exhausted their life's efforts, and it is difficult for the lord to be in the event!"

Chen Sheng smiled and shook his head, lowered his head and continued to observe the map under his feet: "Don't talk about flattering words, that's not what Fan Zeng should do, it's better to discuss things."

Fan Zeng lowered his head to look at the map, and asked in a low voice, "Yangzhai can't attack with water, and because these [-] soldiers can't attack with fire?"

He had followed Chen Sheng to defeat the Sui Army, and he had seen how he let go of the Yangzhou Yellow Turban Army.

as predicted.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Sheng shaking his head slightly and sighing: "These [-] soldiers can be broken, but they can't make heavy moves!"

Fan Zeng pondered for a few breaths, and tentatively spit out three words: "Burst the waves?"

"Those who know me are Duke Fan!"

Chen Sheng nodded, "Right now, the energy of the court is focused on encircling and suppressing the Taiping Road. This time is the perfect opportunity for us to bow our heads to develop and secretly accumulate strength. If we miss it, there will be no more!"

"At this time, go to stir up the nerves of the court. If you attract the waves of the waves to attack, no matter the outcome, it will be a cheap way of peace!"

"It's not what a wise man did!"
