"Brother Zhang, don't you think that the words you wrote are too cruel and cold-blooded?" Wang Jin almost struggled to suppress the murderous intent in his heart. Even so, his dissatisfaction was beyond words.

In his opinion, the nature and appearance of war described by Zhang Yue on this bamboo slip was too cold and too straightforward.

To be honest, even if you tell an illiterate person, you can understand the horror and cruelty contained in it!

Anyway, he could not accept such reality.

It is also contrary to his moral outlook and outlook on life that he has heard and seen since childhood.

In the heart of the young Wang Jin, the best situation of war should be the battle during the reign of Zong Zhou.

The humble gentlemen wore crown robes and told their ancestors that the gods were in their temples, denounced the enemy's evil and sins, and then promoted the righteous army and attacked them.

Before fighting the enemy, you must first write a letter of war and declare the world.

Make the enemy's sins public.

Then fight a dignified battle with the enemy at the agreed place and time.

The gentleman of our army would drive forward before the war, lead the enemy to the enemy, and issue a war declaration passionately to make the enemy's morale fall.

During the war, although both sides are their own masters, they should also follow ancient morals and traditions.

No drums or rows, no serious injuries, no harm to Ermao.

This is the ideal war.

Romantic war belongs to the war of gentlemen.

And the words on the bamboo slips on your hand, let alone the gentleman's war.

The strategies used by all the despicable generals in history are probably not as cruel as the words in this book!

The words on this bamboo slip reveal the truth of the war with the most simple, straightforward and utilitarian ideas - in order to win, any means is correct.

In comparison, Wu Qi can probably be called a gentleman, and even Bai Qi can become a kind and cute little white rabbit.

Let’s see what this bamboo slip is saying?

"War is a violent act that imposes our will on the enemy. The most effective way to achieve this goal is to make the enemy lose its resistance and will..."

"The best way to make the enemy lose its resistance and will is to use any means and make the enemy's situation even more miserable at any cost!"

"So...we should use as much as we can to strike and limit the enemy..."

"If we want to defeat the enemy, we should first guess the enemy's resistance as much as possible, and then use greater strength to defeat it as much as possible. The enemy's resistance is obtained by multiplying two related factors... What is the enemy's resistance method and the strength of the resistance..."

"The enemy may also use the method we use, so, from a purely conceptual perspective, war will definitely tend toward extreme..."

What are these?

There is no mention of any morality, benevolence and righteousness, and there is not even a cover-up!

Naked declaration - in war, in order to win, any means can be used!

In order to win, all means should be encouraged!

If the Han army used these ideas as guidance, then what is the difference between it and the tyrannical Qin Dynasty's tiger and wolf army?

"Cruel? Cold-blooded?" Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this: "Does Brother Wang still want to be kind to the enemy?"

"Even if the enemy is a barbarian, we should talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality with him?"

"Why not?" Wang Jin said, "Brother Zhang heard that when Shun was about to be defeated, Miao was not convinced, and Yu was about to attack him. Shun said no, so he cultivated virtue for three years and took the Gan Qi Wu. When Miao was about to be defeated..."

"The ancient sage kings conquered the barbarians with their kindness and virtue, and a country of three thousand miles came to pay tribute to them..."

"The wise rulers of the three generations have cultivated virtue and established life, so the country is peaceful..."

"Wouldn't it be nice if our Han family cultivates virtue and establishes virtue in distant countries and barbarians, and also adds kindness to their hearts, and makes them abandon their swords and follow good deeds?"

"Hahaha..." Zhang Yue laughed. There were people who believed that they could influence the enemy by virtue of benevolence? This Wang Jin was really simple.

It seems that there must be a big problem with his family’s education.

"What did Brother Zhang laugh at?" Wang Jin looked serious, in his cognition and in the education he received since childhood.

This world has been away from benevolence, righteousness and morality for a long time.

In order to pursue military merits, the generals in the court used large-scale foreign troops again and again regardless of the people's livelihood.

The teachers once told him that it was only during the Tianhan period, in order to conquer Dayuan.

The country recruited 180,000 civilians at one time, and the emperor gave birth to seven disciplines in the world.

There were tens of thousands of gold and more than ten million yuan in the treasury of Shaofu.

Just to support General Ershi's expeditionary force, he allocated 100,000 cattle at one time to supply military supplies.

The Battle of Dayuan was fought twice, and it took countless people's wealth and cream for several years.

In the end, the country only obtained thousands of so-called Dayuan horses and the head of a Dayuan king.

Tens of thousands of soldiers buried their bones in the Western Regions.

Their blood was dyed red with the ribbons of General Ershi and a few others.

The country and the people have nothing to gain.

Therefore, stopping war and resting is the most beneficial thing to the world.

In his consciousness, there is even the idea that as long as the war is stopped, most of the things in the world will be solved.

Zhang Yue looked at Wang Jin and thought about the old man, scratching his head, it shouldn't be!

Although he didn't have much contact with the mysterious old man, Zhang Yue knew very well that the other party was definitely a realistic egoist.

Moreover, the other party clearly agreed with and appreciated what he said that day.

But how could he have such a grandchild?

In Zhang Yue's eyes, Wang Jin was already comparable to those simple young people who were brainwashed by public officials in later generations.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yue decided to correct his thoughts and correct the unrealistic simple fantasies in his mind.

Just take it as repaying the other party!

So, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Have you read the Book of Songs?"

"Well... I have read it..." Although Wang Jin didn't understand why Zhang Yue suddenly asked this question, he nodded.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yue asked again.

"Zhongni said: Three hundred poems, thinking of without evil is the truth!" Wang Jin nodded and said with great pride.

"What about the "Book of Changes"?" Zhang Yue asked again.

"The Sutra of the Holy King, the Book of the Eternal One..." Wang Jin said with his head held high.

"However, the poem says: "There is a fool of yourself, the country is a revenge. Fang Shu is the elder, and he is the strongest. Fang Shu will stop and get ugly. The military chariots are slapped, and they are slapped, like thunder and thunder. Fang Shu shows up and fights against the slapped, and the slapped is powerful..."

"It's also said: Hehe Nan Zhong, Bo attacked the Western Rong..."

"Yi Yun: Wang Yong went to the battle and had good fortune and had no fault of his head, and he won the ugly ones, and he would not blame him!"

"Whether it is the former king or the saint king, we will teach us: kill the barbarians, preach the king's way, and educate the world. No matter what means are used, we will be praised, praised, commemorated, remembered, and longed for!"

"There are still sacrifices of Nan Zhong in Guanzhong and the temple of Fang Shu..."
