Chapter 111 Meng Tian chases Wei Liao under the moon (2)
Under Wei Liao's calm appearance, countless waves appeared deep in his heart.
When he met Meng Tian during the day, he learned from ancient sages and sang loudly, which attracted Meng Tian's attention. But since he met Meng Tian, he had a vague intuition, thinking that Meng Tian seemed to have seen through him.
Wei Liao had no evidence, but his intuition told him that Meng Tian was not simple.
"What's wrong with my response?" Wei Liao asked with aside his doubts in his heart and pondered.
"Sir, chose to escape."
"The world is not in line with my wishes, so what's wrong with me choosing to live in seclusion?" Wei Liao's tone was firm, as if he wanted to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence from now on.
China's hidden culture has a long history. In the three ancient times, when Yao was in power, he wanted to pass the throne to Xu You, but Xu You hid. In the late Shang Dynasty, Gu Zhujun's two sons Boyi Shuqi were unwilling to inherit the throne and lived in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain, leaving behind the reputation of not eating Zhou Mi.
Meng Tian turned his head, squinted his eyes, stared at Wei Liao, chuckled, and said, "Forgive Meng Tian's words and live in seclusion is precisely the most irresponsible way to do it."
"Boyi and Shuqi's reputation has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Boyi Shuqi did not eat Zhou grain and starved to death, but in my opinion, it was a bit pedantic. Survival and death, sometimes, death is the simplest choice." Meng Tian recalled Boyi Shuqi's story and seemed a little disdainful, "In the late Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was unrighteous, and King Wu defeated Zhou, and no one could change the general trend. Instead of committing suicide and dying, Boyi Shuqi would rather keep a useful body and use their influence to reduce the damage caused to ordinary people by defeating Zhou."
As for the hermits, Meng Tian respected their free choices, but he would not appreciate this willful approach. He escaped reality and believed that reality was not satisfactory, just like an ostrich. Meng Tian believed that these people did not make much contribution to society.
What is truly worthy of people's respect are those who face reality and work hard to save the ship in the violent storm and waves without sinking.
"Since the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the nations have been fighting endlessly and annexed each other. The war has lasted for a long time, countless city walls have been destroyed, and the people have been displaced. Since the Warring States Period, the seven heroes have merged more fiercely, the war has become more and more cruel, and the people who suffer more are still the people of all countries. The gentleman knows in his heart that to truly end the endless wars of the nations, one country can only launch a unified war and achieve unity in the world."
Meng Tian stopped and looked back at the Xianyang Palace under the moonlight, majestic and magnificent, exuding an unknown majesty.
Wei Liao was affected and couldn't help but turn around.
"When the king was young, he was trapped in Handan. The shadow of the battle in Handan was lingering in the king's heart, so the king wanted to quickly defeat the six kingdoms and achieve the unification of the nine states. This determination, just like King Wu decided to attack King Zhou, no one could stop him. If sir, if you really want to do something for the people of the world, don't learn from Boyi and Shuqi, but assist the king with all your heart, and use your wisdom and strategy to reduce the harm caused to the people of the world by the unified war!"
Unconsciously, Meng Tian's mind also changed a lot. Deep in his heart, he was also afraid that the sudden battle and sudden victory would cause harm to Qin, but Ying Zheng's determination was determined. He could only die like a loyal minister who did not understand the method in history, and he could only die and destroy the clan.
Since Ying Zheng's determination to annex the six countries was made, he should do his duty as a general, participate deeply, and reduce the harm of the war to ordinary people. After so many years of military merit system, the Qin people's love for the heads has penetrated into the bones. If the war to conquer and destroy the six countries was replaced by generals like Bai Qi, they would probably really bleed and drift the earth.
"The six countries are easily destroyed, and the hatred of the country is destroyed, and the idea of restoring the country will not disappear in a short time. What if the situation changes, the six countries will fight back and fight to restore the country?"
Wei Liao looked up at the sky, closed his eyes tightly, and the message of the kings of the six kings flashed through his mind. Compared with Ying Zheng, he was like a tiger or a local dog. He was familiar with military books since he was a child, and he was full of talent. After thinking about it, the only place where he could display his talents was Qin.
Meng Tian's words echoed in Wei Liao's ears. At this moment, his heart was shaken. Or rather, his thoughts of retreating were not so firm.
"One generation has its own affairs. I believe that the king will not dare to move in his lifetime." Meng Tian turned his head and looked at Wei Liao who was a little shaken, and felt more confident. "Sir, think about it, how can you leave more time for the king to integrate the world!"
The army dispatched millions of troops to fight in the south, like commanding an arm, and wielding a stern and storming, with almost no strategic mistakes. In just ten years, they attacked and destroyed the six countries one by one, ending the hundreds of years of wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Ying Zheng's success not only shocked the Qin people, but also greatly shocked the people of the six countries. People in the world do not know whether there are any visitors, but Ying Zheng's achievements are indeed unprecedented. Confucians often preach that as early as when Yao, Shun and Yu, the world was in the shore of the land, which was the king's land. However, Confucian propaganda even disbelief itself. In ancient society, productivity was so underground, it was impossible for Yao, Shun and Yu to extend their power to the shore of the land.
Ying Zheng was the first to truly expand the power of the king to the shore of the land.
The next morning, when Ying Zheng had breakfast, Meng Tian asked to meet Ying Zheng.
Wei Liao followed Meng Tian and seemed a little embarrassed. Last night, in order to prevent Wei Liao from remorse, Meng Tian chose to rest in the inn, which was a bit like a hostage guard.
"Meng Aiqing, why is it so early?"
Ying Zheng seemed a little surprised. Generally speaking, Meng Tian would not disturb him so early. Ying Zheng once complained that the morning court was set too early. Meng Tian deeply expressed his feelings and believed that it was still necessary to ensure sleep.
"Last night, the gentleman left without saying goodbye. I went to persuade him. After returning to the inn, I couldn't sleep all night. I was worried that the king would miss the good minister, so I brought the gentleman without authorization."
The news of Wei Liao's escape in the middle of the night cannot be concealed. In Xianyang City, there is a channel for Ying Zheng's news, and Meng Tian has no intention of concealing it.
"Why did you do this by sir?"
Ying Zheng was not angry and asked Song Wu to show Wei Liao a seat. Qin State was full of talents, and Wei Liao was a little arrogant, and Ying Zheng did not pay special attention. However, when Meng Tian brought the person back, Ying Zheng had to express something.
"The people who are left behind are inevitably a bit pedantic. It is easy to escape from the world, but difficult to do things. I just figured it out and was willing to do something steadily."
Wei Liao bowed respectfully and followed the etiquette of his subjects. The ancients had the saying that the king chose his subjects, and the ministers also chose him. Wei Liao carried out the etiquette of his subjects, indicating that he chose to surrender to Qin and was willing to serve Ying Zheng.
"Haha, I don't have to be too polite. I heard that I am familiar with the art of war, so I would like to teach me the strategies of conquering the six kingdoms?"
