Chapter 372: Mentality

No one can see themselves clearly, it's anyone.

People always want to get more, even to get beyond the limits of their own ability, to get what they want to want, so there are careerists.

Some people will whitewash their ambitions with lofty ideals and aspirations, and they will tell everyone that they are not careerists, but for the country, the nation, or something, and whatever is great anyway. In the process of struggle, those who stand in his way are enemies of the state and the nation, and should be eliminated physically and spiritually. Therefore, even if the comrades who fought together in bloody battles at the beginning threaten the leadership at a certain stage, then the person who threatens him will naturally become the enemy of the state and the nation, and not only the body must be destroyed, but any trace of the past should also be condemned in the history books.

It cannot be ruled out that there are really people who are willing to give up their lives, including their lives, for the sake of the country and the nation, but frankly speaking, most of such people will slowly lose their ideals in the process of struggling, and will be corrupted by the power and status, and become hard and struggling no longer for the so-called ideals, but desperately trying to keep and seize the power and status they have obtained.

What is the ideal? Is it OK to eat? Power and status are what can be eaten, and it is very enjoyable to eat, whether it is from the luxury of the flesh or the satisfaction of the spirit, it is really delicious.

It's ugly, but it's realistic. There is no zĂ i greatness, nor any noble sentiments. What the leader wants is power and status, and after consolidating power and status, he will build the country according to his ideas.

In fact, aren't all those in power like this? The acquisition of power has always been bloody, there will be enemies and the blood of comrades, it can't be said that there is anything wrong with that, after all, there can be no two tigers in a mountain, and there are always all kinds of challenges, if it is really too bright and great, there will be no bones left early. What else are you talking about fighting for the country and the nation? So history is never written by great people, but by the victors.

The ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Lu Zhe understands the correctness of this sentence very well, so he has never talked about any ideals, and he never thinks that he will become a great person. He is a very realistic person in his bones, struggling in reality, never making promises lightly in the process of struggling, and he will not say anything to his subordinates about what he is striving for and wanting for an unattainable goal. What can be owned, in the blood is watered and grown.

Maybe, just maybe...... One day, Lu Zhe also talked about the country and the nation. At that time, he would sit in the supreme position and say to his subordinates: "What I hope for is the strength of the country and the prosperity of the nation." Now that we have eliminated our rivals, we can talk about our lofty ideals and aspirations. ”

If only that time had come. Countless people will sing praises of merit, write beautiful poems to eulogize, write about who worries about the country when they wear open crotch pants, and even think about how to devote themselves to the prosperity of the nation even when they are pumping.

Why praise? Isn't that simple? It is nothing more than to say a thousand things and ten thousand, and the leader is always right, even if it is wrong. Whoever dares not to say so is going against the country and the nation. Again, physical and spiritual annihilation.

To be honest, Lu Zhe didn't know how many people he would exterminate physically and mentally, and he never had the luxury of exterminating subordinates who followed him.

"They ......" Han Xin seemed a little sluggish. It took him a long time before he noticed that the faces of the generals and colonels at all levels were wrong: "What's wrong with them, why do they sweat profusely on a cold day, and some people are still in their souls?" ”

Lu Zhe had already noticed it, he made a "shhhh ”

Han Xin was puzzled: "What is there to think about here, do what you should do, what should be your own is your own." ”

Where does a thirteen-year-old kid understand the complexity of the human heart, it's simple to say. If everyone knew this, then the world would be a better place.

"You're not good, really." Han Xin pointed to a pale-faced lieutenant, who seemed to be named Zhou Wen? His raised hand was slapped by Lu Zhe, and his hand was lowered but his mouth was opened: "Scared that person so much that he was swinging all over." ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhe's gaze moved to Zhou Wen, who was really swinging. He saw that Zhou Wen was not only swinging, but his whole body seemed to be splashed with water, and his hands were so clenched that he was about to insert his nails into the flesh: "This person, he is a person with great ambitions, but it is a pity that his ability and ambition are not equal, he has been pressed and beaten by his opponents, and when he was almost nothing, he realized that he put down the jars and jars to find a new way out." ”

"Hmm." Han Xin didn't understand this time: "It's to say that he came to belong to you." He said staring at Zhou Wen, who had also shifted his gaze, "Xineng can see that this person is not satisfied with his current identity, he thinks that he deserves more with his ability, but he feels that it is a little difficult to get what he desires with his current identity, so he is thinking about what to do, it may be a gang, it may be to challenge someone, so he will think about scaring himself like that." ”

"Huh?!" Lu Zhe likes Han Xin more and more, this kid is really observant, and he should basically guess Zhou Wen's mentality correctly.

"Look again." Han Xin began to point at people again, and the people he pointed at with his fingers included Gongwei, Ji Bu, Yan Bi, Su Lie, Mei Kai and other people who gathered together to talk and laugh easily: "These people have figured it out, they know very well what they want to get, and they also know how to get it." If you think about it, you will definitely be thorough in your heart, and you won't think about it anymore when you have the bottom. ”

Lu Zhe looked at those who didn't know what to say and occasionally let out a chuckle, those guys were the biggest gainers in this group except for him, and it seemed that according to this trend, they would not be excluded from the core interests, so there was nothing to worry about.

"What's wrong with those people? Standing together, neither speaking nor frightened. "Han Xin is talking about the general colonel of the Qin department this time.

Sima Xin, Shao Ai, Li Heng, Zhou Xing, these people who followed Lu Zhe to the city wall section to watch the reorganization of the army were all captains or above. They really don't have anything to think about, after deciding to belong to Lu Zhe, their fate has not been in their hands for a considerable period of time, what they should get, what they will get, what they will get, it depends on how Lu Zhe will use them, not how they should be used.

To use one description, it is to have succumbed to the arrangement of fate. They are actually good, well-trained, and have enough experience in battle, but they are a little unlucky. "Lu Zhe didn't think about treating these people from the Qin family as outsiders, he could use them however he wanted, and he wouldn't look down on them because of his background, and he wouldn't look down on them because they were forced to submit.

What's there to look down on? Can anyone really do what they want? It's not that it's swayed by the environment, so what's there to discriminate against?

"I have a feeling that you actually like the Qin State, the laws of the Qin State, and the good fighting of the Qin army. Because of this, you seem to ...... It seems like...... Ouch! Why do you shoot people's heads again? It's going to get stupid. Han Xin was slapped again, but he didn't know that there were many people who couldn't do it even if they wanted to slap Lu Zhe, and their faces were full of grievances: "What you said is the truth, so you look quite contradictory." ”

"Huh? I said, what the hell are you learning? "Lu Zhe is not mistaken, Han Xin should be just a soldier idiot, how can he learn to guess people's thoughts except for a guy who is dull to anything in the military?

"I have learned a lot, in addition to the military book you gave, Mr. Kuai will also come to teach the Dharmaists from time to time. Mr. Kuai's Legalist explained it well, and also taught the letter how to be closer to you, saying that you like the letter very much, and you will definitely reuse it when the letter grows up. When I grow up......" Han Xin's face was full of excitement, dreaming of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops to gallop on the battlefield, but he didn't know that the words he said made Lu Zhe's gaze sharpen in an instant, but it was just a moment that Lu Zhe's gaze became calm again.

"What kind of sect is the Legalist that Mr. Kuai taught you?" Lu Zhe asked.

There are three factions of Legalism, one of which is the "technique", which is based on the "Zheng Zhi Cheap Minister" Shen Bu Harm who was the minister of Han Zhaohou in the middle of the Warring States period. The so-called "technique" refers to the conspiracy of the master to manipulate his subordinates, those who distinguish loyalty and treachery without revealing their voices, and the clever calculations that reward and punish unpredictable and to the truth; Its twofold "law" is based on Shang Ying, who is not harmful to Shen at the same time. His special strategy was to enforce the law by means of severe punishment and generous rewards, so that those who obeyed the law would have no reward or lack of reward, and those who violated the law and disobeyed the law would not escape punishment. Its triple "potential" is based on the cautiousness of the Zhao people at the same time as Mencius. The so-called power is authoritarianism. This faction wants to extend the authority of the government as much as possible and concentrate it in the hands of the master, so that he will become an object of fear, so that he can suppress his subordinates.

"Which faction? Are you talking about spells, spells, and potentials? Han Xin really learned something: "Mr. Kuai didn't talk about any specific school, but more about Han Feizi's works." It is about the king-based, and the spells complement each other. ”

Han Feizi? The last thinker of the Warring States who stammered? Lu Zhe couldn't help blinking his eyes, thinking about whether he should find a copy of "Han Feizi" to read it well, and felt that Kuaitong, the old guy, and Han Xin really had a fate, and the two of them could still talk together with so much age difference, and they both became masters and apprentices?

"No, it's not." Han Xin was very serious: "Mr. Kuai said that there are only some of his knowledge that I can learn, and there are many that I can't learn. Therefore, the relationship between Xin and Mr. Kuai is not that of a mentor-apprentice. ”

"Huh!?" Lu Zhe was slightly stunned.

"Mr. Kuai said that what cannot be taught to the letter can only be taught to you or your sister-in-law." Han Xin is still very disappointed, a person with a strong desire to learn will be like this if he has knowledge but can't learn.

Lu Zhe understood that the art of contingency was indeed not something that everyone could learn. (To be continued......)
