God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms
Chapter 3136 The Dead and the Living
...
The three people who arrived at the scene already knew the general cause, process, and outcome of the incident on their way there, and they also understood what they needed to do.
None of the three considered refusing the offer; on the contrary, they were happy to see it happen.
Outstanding young people, especially strong ones, are likely to bring different ways of thinking and perspectives on warfare, and may even inspire new ideas, thus providing more fresh and interesting anecdotes in the future.
Liu Tong glanced at the three people present, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Throughout history, very few people have been able to reach the level of a military god.
If one cannot be invincible in one's time, it is difficult to achieve the level of a military genius, and it is also difficult to achieve the necessary deterrent power.
These three individuals are all outstanding figures of their time.
Unfortunately, the three people standing here can no longer be considered human in a sense.
In terms of life characteristics, he is an immortal, so he could be called non-human, but to say that he is not human is a bit of a stretch.
The true determination that the other party is not human stems from their cognition and knowledge, as well as the way they came into being.
Bai Qi, who looked most like a human, was forced to pass away before he could fully realize his potential and prepare for the future. Even after waking up, although he regained some of his memories, he still had some flaws. However, these flaws did not significantly affect Bai Qi's daily life.
Han Xin, who harbored great resentment towards Liu Bang, demonstrated this even more clearly. Apart from his military command abilities, which matched the historical figure known as the "God of War," he fell far short in other aspects.
While Han Xin in history may not have been particularly skilled in politics or emotional intelligence, he certainly wasn't as lacking as he appears to be today.
Surely someone who can reach this level in military affairs can't be an idiot, right?
However, judging from his behavior during this period, even if he is not an idiot, he is not much different from one. He doesn't pay attention to many trivial things, so he doesn't even realize that he has fallen into some traps.
The last to arrive was Wu Qi, who was also unearthed in Jingzhou. He was the one with the most special circumstances.
If his identity hadn't been verified, this guy, who might not even remember his own name, would have been treated as an illegal immortal.
Especially after a thorough inquiry, Liu Tong gained a fairly comprehensive understanding of Wu Qi's abilities and also realized that the other party was missing a large part of his abilities.
Wu Qi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was a figure who made any state stronger wherever he went. In order to make a name for himself, he did not hesitate to reform and strengthen the state, and in the process, he offended most people.
In that state, Wu Qi was an exceptionally outstanding individual, whether in terms of emotional intelligence, intellectual ability, politics, or military prowess.
The reason they seem cold and have low emotional intelligence is all because they are making way for fame and fortune. They are a different kind of people who pursue fame and fortune.
It's fair to say that Liu Tong was extremely cautious when facing Wu Qi, even harboring the idea of preemptively destroying him should things turn unfavorable. However, after learning through the chat group about Huangfu Song's apprehension towards the Corpse-Binding talent system and its origins, Liu Tong began to somewhat accept Huangfu Song's ideas.
This talent is indeed terrifyingly powerful. When applied to soldiers, it can even transform them, turning an ordinary soldier into a super elite in a short period of time, capable of fighting against decisive battle units.
However, the cost was too high, or rather, too unusual, and Liu Tong could not accept it either.
As human beings, we should at least live as human beings, rather than becoming sacrifices for something else.
Reality is not so absolute, and the side effects of this talent are not so absolute either. Perhaps there are exceptionally talented people who can overcome these side effects and thus become stronger without any side effects.
However, given the likelihood of such an event occurring and the unique nature of researching this substance, it is indeed possible, under normal circumstances, to try to remove the side effects before expanding and promoting it, thus benefiting the country and its people.
However, after learning that several military gods had been inserted into this thing, Liu Tong completely gave up on such an idea.
There are many ways to make the military stronger, so why not take the right path instead of this crooked one?
Does the country lack resources? Does the country lack a sense of righteousness? Or does the country lack people?
If you have everything you need, why use a method that might not even harm the enemy, but could likely lead to your own demise?
It was precisely because of the fear and peculiarity of this method that Wu Qi was placed under special detention and imprisonment when he was first discovered. He was also subjected to a comprehensive interrogation to confirm what he possessed and his memories. Only after confirming that he had no memories of this kind of thing was it somewhat reassuring.
Even so, Wu Qi in this state was still unable to leave Weiyang Palace, and the restrictions and constraints he faced were much greater than those faced by Bai Qi and Han Xin.
Besides his military skills and abilities, Wu Qi was also quite adept at political maneuvering and political competence. Theoretically, sending Wu Qi to handle domestic affairs could speed up the work and promote the development of the country's domestic affairs.
However, Liu Tong also rejected this idea and suggestion.
On one hand, Chen Xi, who is in charge of internal affairs, is absolutely unmatched in this era. Even if Wu Qi were to be released in the past, he would definitely not be a match for Chen Xi, let alone have such strong internal affairs capabilities as Chen Xi.
On the other hand, it is also for the safety of others after their death, and even more so for the safety of oneself after one's death.
If a dead person competes with a living person for a job, even if they are more capable, perform better, and are more rational, is that necessarily the right thing to do?
If such a thing were to be done, how many people would be able to rest in peace a hundred years from now?
From an absolutely utilitarian and rational perspective, such things can indeed effectively accelerate national development and maintain the country's strength within a certain period of time.
But if we extend the timeframe, are there still any living people among those handling government affairs in the imperial court?
If the dead can take the place of the living, isn't that another form of class stratification? Isn't the path to upward mobility also fixed?
Moreover, even if someone regains their memories a hundred years later, who can guarantee that their personality will remain the same? If they harbor malicious intentions, what difference is there between them and a living person?
In that case, it would be better to ban this approach from the start, leaving opportunities for future generations, for those who can adapt to the times and change with them. (End of Chapter)
