Lu Dynasty

Chapter 294
"Expansion!" After listening to Guo Jia's question, I said seriously: "This is to ensure the blood and aggression in our Han people's bones! We can only keep expanding, and let the whole world be trampled under our Han people's feet. At that time, the whole world will be cultivated by us Han people. In that case, even if the dynasty we established is to be destroyed, it may take ten thousand years or tens of thousands of years. I don’t have the energy to care about such distant things. The eternal dynasty still needs Our descendants work hard, what we have to do is to make a good start for them! The ancients said: a hundred years will come out. I don’t believe that we Han people have not been able to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of the world after thousands or thousands of years! "

Guo Jia asked: "My lord, the ancients also said that even if a country is big and warlike, it will die! If you keep expanding, then military expenditures will be a problem!"

"Feng Xiao!" I said helplessly, "Have you read the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" I gave you? There is a sentence in it: so a wise general will serve the enemy. Dang me twenty stones. What do you think we invade, expand, and fight for? Is it for fun, or is it an act of revenge like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

"My lord, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not my idol, you can't say that he fought for revenge! You must know that he played the mighty power of my great Han Dynasty!" Guo Jia said.

"Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty once said before the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu: 'Duke Xiang of Qi will avenge the ninth generation, and the Spring and Autumn Annals will be great.' Then he resolutely attacked the Xiongnu in the north. Because Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was forced to donate gold and silk because of the 'Siege of Baideng' The humiliation of women; Empress Lu also suffered insults from the Huns in letters; the Wen and Jing Dynasties, the Huns also continued to invade. That's why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to take revenge and solve the border troubles." I smiled and said: "These are all in the history books. It is recorded, doesn’t Feng Xiao know? Let’s look at what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did after defeating the Huns! The Yellow River’s nine curves are only beneficial, but he actually rewarded the most beneficial Hetao Plain to the Huns to herd horses It caused the Huns to bully the Han people after they cultivated themselves! He fought with the blood and sweat of the people, but in the end, only he and those aristocratic families, generals, and Huns got the benefits! He did show the might of a big man, but He almost ruined his own country! The wealth accumulated by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing was consumed by him, and the people were also displaced by him, but did he really solve the border problem? No! The Huns are gone, and there are Wuhuan, Qiang and other foreign tribes He still bullied the Han people. He was right to start the war, but it is a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han used Dong Zhongshu’s Confucianism, which caused him problems in handling the war.”

Guo Jia was speechless, I looked at Guo Jia and shook his head and continued: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't understand what was wrong with him when he was dying, it wasn't that he was wrong in beating the Huns, but that he was wrong in his purpose of beating the Huns. He should demote the captives of the Xiongnu into slaves to replace the labor of the people, or let them herd horses and sheep for my big man! Do you remember that I once asked Huang Ming to mobilize [-] Qiang slaves from the grassland to build a city? It's me and Fengxian's captives! On the grassland, if they are obedient, I will give them a bite to eat, and let them do the hardest and most tiring work for the soldiers and civilians on the grassland. If they are disobedient, I will kill them!"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu are not the kind of rotten Confucians, they would never fool me with the Confucian way of benevolence and forgiveness, but Jia Xu still asked: "Master, what do you think is the ultimate purpose of war?" I want to plagiarize the "On War" I read.But no matter how good I am, I can’t remember such a thick book that I’ve only read roughly once.However, it's okay for me to fool Jia Xu and the others with a little knowledge in it.After all, the ideas in the book are a collection of nearly a thousand years of war wisdom, which cannot be summed up by the people of the Han Dynasty. Even though our country had a systematic military classification before the Han Dynasty, they were too general and abstract.A copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" almost covers most of the content in the theory of war, but how many people can understand and use it?

I asked, "Master Jia, what do you think the fight between animals is for?"

"It should be food!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia didn't expect me to change the topic in one go, and it was so far away.But no matter what I say, I am the master, and they dare not have too much opinion on me.

"It's not just that, animals fight for territory, food, and females!" I shook my head and said, "Actually, we humans are also like this. We expand for the sake of resources. What we need is land, not those outsiders. We Han people don’t have enough to eat, so we care about the life and death of those foreigners? We want to rob them of their land, resources, and even women! Aren’t these the same as animals? Land is the territory of animals, and resources are the food for animals. It doesn't seem to be much different from a woman!"

Guo Jia understood that I was not changing the topic, but wanted to give them an example, he smiled and said: "My lord is very reasonable, but it's a bit too that!"

Jia Xu is different from Guo Jia, he said with a smile: "My lord's words are really apt. Now that I think about it, those foreigners who come to fight grass valley, except for the territory, their purpose is goods, food and women, really with animals. There is no difference. But my lord, we are humans, how can we compare with those beasts, or even things that are inferior to beasts!"

"Theoretically speaking, human beings are a kind of advanced animals!" I laughed and said, "It is because they are beasts that we have to train them, let them understand etiquette, and know what shame is! But before that, we They must be conquered, and I don’t need to talk about how to conquer them. If we are like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we just scare them. When we are weak and bully, those beasts who usually dare not show their teeth will be bullied. Our heads are coming. Therefore, we must let those foreigners fear us from the heart to the body, so that we can get rid of them once and for all. From another perspective, subduing them at the first time is also a kind of benevolent government. If they keep repeating, it will be unlucky Not only our Han people, but also the common people of foreign races!"

Guo Jia said: "My lord, your eloquence is getting better and better. Even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi are resurrected, they may not be able to match your mouth. I am convinced. If I can work with you to create a long-lasting Dynasty, I, Guo Jia, can also be immortal! As long as the lord needs it, please give me your instructions!"

Jia Xu was not as impulsive as Guo Jia. He said, "I knew Ba Xian that you had big ambitions, but I didn't know you had such big ambitions. However, it's not bad for me. The more powerful you are, the more powerful you are." The bigger I am, the safer I am, so I still say that, as long as it doesn't threaten my safety, your wish is my will!"

I looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia and said with a big smile: "With Master Jia and Feng Xiao here, I believe my wish will come true. In order to pass on our grand plans and great achievements, I also hope that Master Jia and Feng Xiao will treat our descendants well." Teach me a lot, and strive to get more ghosts and poisonous people out!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia bowed down and said, "Follow my lord's order!" I helped them up, and the three of them joined hands in the secret room and laughed loudly.
