Chapter 50: Peace in the World

For hundreds of years, the people of the Central Plains were strange. It is right that people hope to use morality to restrain the people and achieve national peace and security. But hope to restrain the foreigners with morality? Yanbei has always felt that this is like a joke.

Some people can be restrained by morality, such as himself, who wandered around in the early years to kill people and goods, and almost did bad things in the world. But when I grow up, I read and understand that there is such a thing as morality in the world, and I can be reluctantly restrained. After all, the Yan family is not a family of horse bandits, and when you enter the upper echelons of the country, you must do things according to the moral rules that people have already formulated, otherwise it will be difficult to be recognized by others...... Yanbei believes that this is the reason why people are controlled and moral, because most people in the Han Dynasty believed in the existence of morality, so he also had to believe, not because of the mysterious human nature.

Is human nature inherently good? No, there is no difference between a man and a beast except morality, and morality is the best among people to formulate the rules for governing the world, which is a technique, not a way. Resilience is inherently evil, and with the help of sages, ordinary people can also be good is the most proud ability.

But always thinking like this made Yanbei's thoughts confused and incomprehensible, and he walked into a dangerous dead end. Say...... If the difference between man and beast is the instinct to resist killing and robbery, then is a foreigner who does not know what morality is?

Morality, etiquette and music make the country and the people safe, and people are vying to emulate the sages, hoping to become sages, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. But it's like a shackle around people's throats. In the whole winter before the soldiers left Yedu, Yanbei looked through the history books of his predecessors, and no one in power was as willing to make enemies and attack as he was. There were more than 30 emperors before Liu Xie, but there were almost no who were really keen on expanding outward, whether it was the Qin and Han dynasties or the new dynasty, even if a big war broke out, it was only because of the defensive position that was oppressed and unbearable.

Usually people are more willing to use Xiaozhi etiquette to persuade foreign people, Xiongnu, Xiqiang, Goguryeo, Xianbei, Wuhuan, the virtuous who quell the war by Huairou means will become a famous minister, and the emperor who reconciles the war by Huairou means will become a Ming monarch. Most of the generals who ended the war by means of war did not end well, and the emperor also had to bear the infamy of being reckless.

After 30 years of war between the Later Han Dynasty and Xiqiang, it was Duan Cheng who finally killed the Qiang people once and for all, but after the victory, he could only attach to the eunuchs. But his approach to Qiang Chao was correct in Yanbei's view.

The Han family believes in moral etiquette, so they can restrain their own people with moral etiquette. But the people of Dongyi and Beibei and Xidi Nan believe that the strong are respected, which is essentially different from the Han people. When foreign races are attached, the court thinks that it is to promote education, but if foreign races are not attached, the court thinks that it is not enough to preach education...... This in itself is wrong, they belong because the Han Dynasty was strong when they were attached, and it can bring danger to them, so they go to annex and recuperate; They did not belong because the national power of the Han Dynasty was declining and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Standing on the fattest land to shepherd sheep but do not know how to raise some fierce dogs, always counting on throwing the lamb out of the pen or even letting the wolf into the sheepfold for a full meal, the time for the evil wolf to digest and nap as if the wolf is ripe, what is not stupid?

Emperor Gao took advantage of the prestige of dominating the world, and made peace with the Huns, but can that be called surrender to the Huns? Where is there real peace between ethnic groups, there are so many fields and pastures in the world, the Xiongnu will have one less bite of the Han Kingdom if they eat more, and the simple and incomparable morality is written in the Han book.

If this is the case in the Han Kingdom, it is not allowed for foreigners to think the same way? The short-term attachment of people is also for revenge in the future.

Yan Bei's means of solving this problem are more aggressive than ordinary people, which is probably because Lile's education of him is not enough, after all, he is reckless...... He didn't want to push the lambs out of the sheepfold, and even the wolves that had been put into the pasture for a full meal didn't want to let them eat them alive. He couldn't change what happened in the past when his predecessors were in power, but now he not only has a fierce dog, but also a bow and crossbow in his hand.

Yanbei, a shepherd boy, is not afraid of wolves, but feels that wolves should be afraid of him.

He first crippled the wolves in the sheepfold and fed them to the fierce dogs, and then led the fierce dogs to carry bows and crossbows to the outside of the pasture, drove out the wolves in the mountains and forests, and slaughtered them.

This is the world is peaceful!

Liu Meng was a little smarter than Yanbei imagined, and the next morning he led two escort cavalry to the city, stripped off his clothes and armor, and said that Shan Yu Luan called Chuquan to forcibly recruit his troops to fight, hoping to get Yanbei's understanding. He also came with a small king in the right part, the head of the seven thousand chiefs, who said that they were all in charge of accompanying Shan Yu to fight against the imperial court, and were called into the tent by Liu Meng last night to kill him.

Yanbei was noncommittal about this, he estimated that Liu Meng went back to count the soldiers and horses after the battle last night, and the dead Huns were three or four times more than the Han army, and the corpses that lost their heads all over the ground made Liu Meng change his mind, as for his father Liu Qubei? To tell the truth, Yanbei has always believed in the blood relationship of the Huns, father and son have opened the history of the Huns for hundreds of years, and those who killed their fathers and those who were killed by their fathers have emerged in endlessly.

Liu Qubei has several sons, Liu Meng may not really give up the attack because Qubei is in the imperial court, the biggest possibility is that he found that the Han Dynasty army that conquered the Xiongnu this time was more than the previous Liao Army, and he could not get any benefits.

Yanbei asked Liu Meng to worship under the city for half an hour, before he climbed the city tower and looked down a few times, and then beckoned Cheng Lian to his side and ordered a few words. Not long after, the city gate was opened, and Cheng Lian led two hundred and two hundred Yulin horses to ride a total of four hundred Han horses out of the city, stood in front of Liu Meng and asked: "Da Sima wants you to atone for your sins, Liu Meng, don't make mistakes." When leaving Yedu, Da Sima intended to set up your father to humble himself as the Xiongnu Shan Yu, you were the right virtuous king, and now you are leading the army to attack the Han Dynasty. Would you like to lead the headquarters as the striker of the Great Sima and defeat the Hutu Department to capture Hu Chuquan? ”

Liu Meng, who fell to the ground, raised his head, looked at Cheng Lian, who was full of beard, and blinked, thinking about the gains and losses. The Han Dynasty's canonized Shan Yu and Youxian King are different from attacking the Han Dynasty's self-established Youxian King or Shan Yuke, at least they will not face the endless attacks of the Han Dynasty, and they can still sit firmly on the throne of the Right Xianwang...... Liu Meng can still calculate this gain and loss, and immediately bowed down and said loudly: "Go back to Da Sima, Liu Meng is willing, then go back and order all the troops to send troops to capture Luan Tihu Kitchen Spring!" ”
