In Lu Feng and Lu Yu's angry eyes, Lu Ren took a deep breath, and said in a calm and heavy tone: "Those damn Hu people say that we Han people grow grains and harvest them in autumn, but they Hu people take us Han people as grains!" For us Han people, they can harvest at will, and what we Han people have worked hard to get is also their prey after we Han people are harvested by them! These Hu people don't regard us Han people as human beings at all, but as grains in the fields and birds and beasts in the forest, and let them harvest and hunt at will! ”

There was a muffled sound of "bang", but it was Lu Feng who smashed his fist on the table under anger, and the teacups and snacks on the table were scattered on the table because of this: "How can this be reasonable!" These nomadic tribes in the north do not regard the people of our Han family as human beings, but as grain, cattle and sheep! What do they think they are!? ”

Lu Ren sighed and said seemingly calmly: "They are all wolves, fierce wolves and cunning wolves on the grassland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lu Feng said angrily: "Dad, I ......"

"Sit down for me!"

Lu Ren's angry shout startled several people present, and he also drank what Xiao Lu Feng wanted to say later. After Lu Ren finished yelling at this sentence, he took a few deep breaths, and then walked up to Lu Feng, stretched out his hand and patted Lu Feng's shoulder a few times and said, "Stinky boy, you are angry in your heart, I can understand Dad." In fact, when you were your age, every time I heard or saw such a thing, my father was so angry that the roots of my teeth itched, and I wished that I could bite these beast-like nomadic thieves to death. ”

"But Feng'er, you have to remember that things in this world may not be as simple as you think. For now, what's the use of you being angry here? Don't say I can't give it now, even if I can give you tens of thousands of horses, can you really wipe out all the nomadic tribes in the entire northern steppe? In this world, who dares to say that they have that strength? ”

"This, this ......"

Xiao Lu Feng lost his temper at that time, and sat there honestly and lowered his head. And Lu Ren glared at Xiao Lu Feng, and then said, "Don't be unconvinced, you kid. There are not a few books you have read by now, so let me ask you, after the rule of Wenjing, to what extent did the national strength of the Han Dynasty reach? And when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised troops to defeat the Xiongnu, how many troops were dispatched and how many people were mobilized to transport supplies? But in the end, what kind of situation did it just become? Feng'er, it was the most powerful period of the entire Han Dynasty, and the manpower, material resources, and financial resources that the entire Han Dynasty could mobilize were huge beyond what you can imagine. And although our Yizhou is also doing well, do you think it can be compared with the most powerful period of the Han Dynasty? ”

Lu Feng raised his head, but there was still a bit of unwillingness in his eyes. Lu Ren sighed again, turned his head to Minchan and said, "Ah Xiu, let someone get a basin of cold water to wash his face, let him calm down, otherwise he may not listen to what I say." ”

Minchan answered, summoned the attendants outside the hall, and after a while, a basin of cold water was sent to Lu Feng. At this time, although Lu Feng was full of anger in his heart, looking at Lu Ren's expression that he had something to say, he could only obediently bury his whole face in cold water, so as to calm himself down first. At this time, Lu Yu on the side also came to Lu Feng's side, picked up cold water from the plate and slapped her pretty face, obviously she had been suppressing her anger all the time, and she needed this cold water to calm down a little.

Finally, Lu Ren saw that the two brothers and sisters had reluctantly calmed down, and he also collected his anger before he said: "Feng'er, Yu'er, your father and I are not the kind of indifferent and ruthless people. You're still young, and you have a childlike impulse when you encounter things, so you don't understand what kind of chess I'm actually playing now.

Lu Feng took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality hard before asking, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Ren said: "There are some things that I will tell you now, and most of you will not understand, so I will say something that you can understand." Let's put it this way, although grass nomadism has repeatedly invaded the Central Plains for thousands of years, its intention is only to focus on plundering rather than attacking cities and plundering land. It is precisely because of this that most of them come on light horses and grab and leave, their whereabouts are erratic, and most of them will not have any worries, even if they lose the battle, they can return to the grassland and play hide and seek with our Central Plains army. On the other hand, it is not easy for our army in the Central Plains to pursue, and it is restricted by various things such as supplies to enter the grassland, so it can only be defended by garrisons at critical passes, but it can only be a big defense but it is difficult to take care of the small. This is their strength, our weakness. To put it more simply, they can fight if they want, but we often have no energy but nowhere to do it. ”

Lu Feng frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Then can't we in the Central Plains really wave our army into the grassland?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "Of course not." It's just that we in the Central Plains want to wave our troops into the grassland to sweep away the troubles, but there are too many restrictions. This is not something that can be explained clearly in three or two sentences, so you can listen to and remember the next words for me. In addition, you must remember that there are too many shocking remarks in the next words of the father, and once they are spread lightly, if the father does not do well, it will be the target of the people of the world, so you should not say it to others at will until certain conditions are met. ”

Lu Feng and Lu Yu turned pale and nodded their heads.

What Lu Ren wanted to say to the two brothers and sisters was actually a conclusion that Lu Ren came to after consulting a large number of historical materials. The reason why it has not been spread out now is because a large number of corrupt Confucian ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at the end of the Han Dynasty. Especially the scholars and family classes who were mainly in power at that time, once they heard Lu Ren's remarks, they planned that all the scholars and families in the world would denounce Lu Ren.

And Lu Ren himself also relied on a few families to start a family, although in the past 20 years or so, there has been a gradual change in the ideology of these families, but obviously now is not the time to vigorously change, which has to be said to be a sad place for Lu Ren. If these remarks can at least stand on their own turf, Lu Ren said that it will take two generations to carry them out.

First of all, this kind of rhetoric refers to imperial power in the first place.

What is Imperial Power? Imperial power is absolute power, but with it comes absolute corruption and decay. The most terrible thing is that this absolute power is selfish and suspicious, so that it does not have the slightest tolerance. One of the most obvious manifestations is the so-called "high merit and earthquake master".

In the history of China, in fact, there has never been a shortage of characters who can defeat the nomadism of the grasslands. Of course, I don't dare to say anything about the extermination, but it's still okay to fight the Wuhu suit and be honest. At this moment, although Lu Ren can't tell Lu Feng and Lu Yu about characters like Yue Fei, there are a lot of people who can be caught at this point.

Like Li Mu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he guarded the border for decades, and Wuhu did not dare to violate the border for half a step; Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty led 300,000 Qin troops to the north to fight against the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu did not dare to attack his front; Li Guang in the early Han Dynasty, the sentence "But make Longcheng fly, don't teach Hu Ma to cross Yin Mountain" is very revealing; There are also Wei Qing and Huo Quai......

It's just that there are so many famous generals, except for Huo Quai, who died of illness in his twenties, and the rest of them have all been suspicious and persecuted by the imperial (king) power without exception. Li Mu was exiled in the Seven Kingdoms in his later years, and his final fate was so tragic; Meng Tian was directly involved in the struggle for imperial power and ended up in a self-inflicted end; Li Guang was almost never reused; Wei Qing...... As Emperor Wu's uncle, the situation is slightly better, but he has also been imprisoned several times. This is Huo Qu's illness and died early, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened.

When Lu Feng and Lu Yu asked Lu Ren "why this is the case", Lu Ren could only helplessly tell the two brothers and sisters that this is the so-called "meritorious master", and the imperial power believes that the existence of these people threatens the result of the imperial power's rule. In addition, this type of people are the biggest destabilizing factor for the imperial power because they have military power in hand and are stationed at the border all year round. Therefore, for the sake of imperial power, the imperial class would rather sacrifice the border people than continue to lead troops. Anyway, the imperial class can drink wine and meat in the Huatang House, and what does it matter to them whether they live or die on the border? Moreover, at the expense of the people on the border, it can also be exchanged for the so-called peace of the nomadic tribes, and these imperial classes are also happy to see this false peace.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Feng and Lu Yu, the two teenagers, were fine, but Minchan was shocked, got up and went out in a panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no one near the hall, and then closed the hall door with his backhand, and personally guarded the door. After all, Minchan is a person who came out of the education of the imperial class, if these words that directly point to the imperial power are not because she has been with Lu Ren for so many years and can bear it, I am afraid that she would have scolded Lu Ren for a long time. However, it is precisely because of this that Minchan knows the powerful relationship in these words far better than Lu Feng and Lu Yu, so she will be busy closing the door and guarding it.

Lu Ren looked at Minchan, smiled with relief on his face, and then said to the two brothers and sisters: "You see that your aunt Xiu is frightened like this, if it spreads, you should know what it will be like, right?" Remember, you must not say these words to your mothers and aunts, otherwise something will happen! To outsiders, even more than half a word can't be mentioned! ”

Lu Feng and Lu Yu each nodded.

Lu Ren took a map with his backhand, pointed to the map and said to the two children: "You are also growing up, and there are some things that Daddy should teach you." Today, Daddy will teach you another Tao...... If you just want to be a good person, then all you need is a conscience; If you want to be a bad person, then you need a thousand clever plans; But if you want to be a good person who can help many, many people, then you have to have both a conscience and a thousand good ideas. ”

Lu Feng hesitated: "Dad, what do you mean?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Didn't you resent the nomadic tribe's beastly behavior just now? But the grasslands and deserts are so large, and trying to wipe them out by military force alone is not something we can do at all, so we have to play other tricks. In addition, there are other enemies around us who are looking down on us, and if we ignore these people and just mess around with our own blood, we will become fat in the mouths of these people. At that time, we couldn't protect ourselves, and we did a thing! ”

Young people have a desire for knowledge and curiosity, and Lu Ren's words have obviously aroused Lu Feng and Lu Yu's curiosity and curiosity, so they all looked at Lu Ren with blank eyes, waiting for Lu Ren to say the rest of the words. Looking at Lu Ren again, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but suddenly burst out with this sentence:

"Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish...... Wen Ji, she has taught you this sage saying, right? ”

Lu Ren came up with such a sentence for no reason, which made Lu Feng and Lu Yu at the same time, and they didn't understand what Lu Ren meant by such a sentence suddenly. However, Lu Ren's next words made the two brothers and sisters even more confused:

"Fuck the shit!!"

Lu Feng and Lu Yu were dumbfounded when they heard the country's scolding. "Although the country is big, the warlike will perish" is not unfamiliar to them at all, after all, their biological mother Cai Yan was a celebrity in the literary world at that time, and they naturally learned these sage words a lot. And at this moment, Lu Ren used "bullshit" to evaluate this sentence, which really made the two brothers and sisters very puzzled and surprised.

Lu Ren looked at the reaction of the two siblings and laughed, "What about the words of the sage? Are all the words of the so-called sages true? Wind and rain, you must remember this sentence, that is, even if the so-called words of the sages are correct, they will be wrong under some specific circumstances and factors. And this sentence 'although the country is big, the warlike will perish' is closely related to us, but it is not necessarily true. ”

Among the two brothers and sisters, Lu Feng's overall view is stronger than Lu Yu's, and after hearing this, he said thoughtfully: "Daddy's meaning is that our Yizhou mobilized a large number of soldiers, horses, money, food, and equipment after the war, which is easy to make our states and counties in Yizhou decline and deplete the people, and finally ......."

At this point, Lu Feng frowned and closed his mouth, unwilling to say the more ugly words later.

Lu Ren nodded to Lu Feng with great satisfaction, and said approvingly: "Feng'er can see the stakes here, Dad, I'm very happy." Speaking of which, when I was your age, I was far less concerned about this kind of thing than you. ”

Lu Feng frowned again, obviously unwillingly and said, "Daddy praised it...... Daddy, and forgive the child's bluntness, Daddy just said that 'although the country is big, the belligerent will die', and I have great scruples about the decline of the people in Yizhou due to the war in the north, not only will there be too many changes inside, but I am afraid that it will also give Jiangdong Sun Quan an opportunity to take advantage of. In this case, is it not that we cannot fight this northern war any longer? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Dad didn't say that. As for the worries about financial decline and people's depletion...... Feng'er, Yu'er, a lot of things in our Yizhou, my father has let you get in touch with and familiar with it very early, so you can talk about it, since the start of the war, in addition to raising the army and fighting the war, we also have to help so many refugees, for this purpose to mobilize money, food, clothing, equipment can be said to be countless, and our Yizhou has not been financially constrained because of this? ”

"Ugh! This ......"

Lu Feng's eyes immediately fell on Lu Yu, because of this matter, Lu Yu, as a girl, is naturally more sensitive than Lu Feng, so she knows more than Lu Feng.

saw Lu Yu pondering for a moment under Lu Feng's inquiring gaze, and then shook his head and said, "No...... I vaguely remember that when I went to the north with my brother, I pestered Aunt Xue, and I heard Aunt Xue mention that not only did our Yizhou's finances not appear to be tight here, but it was even more ...... than before my father went to war."

Lu Ren has been sitting in Yizhou, how can this matter be unclear? But now is not the time to talk about this, so I don't want to say too much, so I smiled slightly and continued what I just said: "Then you brothers and sisters think about it, our Yizhou division ran to the north with tens of thousands, and spent so much money, food, and utensils, according to what the sage said, 'Although the country is big, the warlike will perish', although the time for us to send troops is not long, it will also affect our people's livelihood and people's livelihood, right?" ”

Lu Feng and Lu Yu's brains were a little inadequate at the moment, and people were also a little confused. This is not to say that their brothers and sisters are not smart enough, but their brothers and sisters' ideas have certain historical limitations after all, and Lu Ren will not teach them those inconvenient things too early. Of course, what the two brothers and sisters didn't understand was what Lu Ren's purpose was when he mentioned these things at this time.

Looking at the confused expressions of the two brothers and sisters, Lu Ren knew that he had to remind them a little now, so he sorted out his thoughts a little and asked, "Among the seven heroes of the Warring States hundreds of years ago, which country was the most belligerent?" ”

The two brothers and sisters responded almost without thinking: "Naturally, it's the Qin State." ”

"So which country swept away the other six countries and then unified China?"

"It's still the Qin State!"

"Okay, then let's take a look at things that are not far from us. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the candidates in the world have risen together, and among these candidates, which one is the most belligerent? ”

"Uh......" The two brothers and sisters were a little unsure, and after exchanging a few words with each other in a low voice, Lu Feng said very hesitantly: "Yes, is it Old Man Cao?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "There is no doubt that among the current candidates in the world, Lao Cao is the most belligerent. I think that since he left the crusade against Dong Zhuo Alliance and returned to Chenliu, he has almost no years without conquest and no years without fighting. If it were according to the remark that 'although the country is big, the belligerent will perish', Lao Cao would have perished many times. But what are the facts? In today's Huaxia Shenzhou, his old Cao is seven or eight! ”

Lu Feng and Lu Yu glanced at each other and nodded their heads.

Lu Ren continued: "The sage's statement that 'although the country is big, the warlike will perish' is not unreasonable, but it is too one-sided. Let's put it this way, most of those sages can only dance and write, and almost none of them understand what war is and what military is. They only evaluate things based on their own limited point of view, and rarely can infer things from the perspective of others, so what they say is often very limited. ”
