Chapter 371: Desire ~ Hope (II)

Whether in terms of identity or emotion, Lu Zhe will never become a member of the nations. This is not to say that because Lu Zhe is a Qin person, but the kings of the countries will not allow a person from a non-aristocratic background to stand too tall and not allowed to sit on an equal footing, how can he give Lu Zhe a chance to surpass them?

Later generations of historians have done special research, from Xia to Qin unification, Chinese society has always been in the environment of aristocratic rule, it was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who shouted out "the prince will Xiangning have a kind of" and successfully raised troops, and it was the non-aristocratic Liu Bang who finally ruled the world to end the barrier of aristocratic rule.

What does that mean? Even before no one succeeded in becoming the lord of the world as a commoner, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, they always took it for granted that the nobles ruled as first-class people.

There are too many factors for Liu Banghui to succeed in becoming the lord of the world, one of which is that Chen Sheng became the king first, and a crack was opened on the upper line of the barrier of the aristocracy ruling the world. Later, when the powerful Xiang Yu was divided, Liu Bang became the king of Hanzhong, and many people who were not from noble backgrounds also became princes, which was regarded as further breaking down the barrier that non-nobles could not be kings.

In the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty, some systems from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States period disappeared in the constant melee and destruction, and in some ways the nobles themselves at that time had fallen into endless mutual attacks, and there was a Xiang Yu who constantly used as a target for everyone to unite, and in the unity to dilute the identity of the nobility and non-aristocratic origin, then the disappearance of the barrier is not so surprising.

Can success be replicated? Obviously, a lot of success can be replicated.

What about the environment? Is the environment constant? According to countless theories, it can be concluded that a small change can make a completely different environment, so the environment cannot be replicated.

Lu Zhe has always known that because of his appearance, history has become completely different, the previous environment will not be repeated, and everything that happened will become completely different, and the path he wants to take can no longer judge right and wrong from the original history, and whether he can succeed in the end.

However, there is one thing that Lu Zhe is very sure of. He took a completely different path from Liu Bang, there will be no real allies on this road, and some are only strong in their own strength to survive, so that the nations can forget that he is a Qin person, so that the countries can only stutter.

For LΓΌ Zhe, the existence of the Qin State was necessary, at least until he thought that he had the strength to protect himself, and even that he could fight the world. Therefore, he will maintain contact with the nations, but he will definitely not wave troops to attack Qin on a large scale. When necessary. Not only will he not attack Qin, but he may even cooperate with Qin to launch attacks on other countries.

A stalemate, a complicated situation in the world is beneficial to Lu Zhe, which can give him enough time to develop and grow, and there can be no drastic changes before that. Therefore, whether it is Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Yan, or Chu, they should continue to survive.

Under this premise, Lu Zhe was willing to help the relatively weak Wei and Han, and gave them a guarantee in terms of materials that could allow Wei and Han to continue to survive.

It was also under that premise that Lu Zhe could tolerate Zhao Guo creating rumors and not send troops to attack. If the Qin State really can't support it, he will also send troops to rescue him.

"But I still don't understand that if we have been choosing what is beneficial to us according to our actual needs, and we have no position, then we are not making enemies for ourselves?" There was too much confusion on Han Xin's tender face.

Standpoint? Lu Zhe is also thinking about what a position is. On a lot of the big right and wrong. Standing firm on one's own position is the foundation of being a human being. But what is the position? Is it simple black and white, with no gray areas in between?

"Position? Can only choose a stand? Lu Zhe could see Han Xin's desire to learn, and for Han Xin and many people, they needed an unwavering position. So he looked at Han Shin. Then he looked at the general who also wanted to know the answer: "Our position is our position." When we need it, we can stand firm, even at a terrible cost. But there is a premise for this position. That is not going to lead us to weakness and perdition. For you, your position is to follow me. My position is for your life, for your glory, for your wealth, for future generations...... There are many, many reasons and factors that are used as a benchmark to choose a position. ”

Some understand that when you need it, you can take a stand, and you can discard it when you don't need it. So to have a position is to have no position.

Some people don't understand that once people choose something, they always need to maintain it, even if sometimes they need to pay the price of their lives to insist.

"But...... If one day you choose a different position than we want, can we choose our own side and betray you? Han Xin asked innocently, the people around him, and the people who heard this sentence immediately shuddered, and they were almost scared to death.

"Haha!" Lu Zhe touched Han Xin's head: "So, I should always consider your position and give you what you accept and want." ”

Han Xin first said "oh", and then asked, "But...... But...... People are always not satisfied, such as letters, they used to want to be fed and clothed, and there were endless military books to read. Now that I have all those letters, I want more, such as having an army that obeys my orders, and taking them to fight with them in the art of war. Will you be satisfied? ”

"Xiao Hanxin wants to make a contribution!" Lu Zhe looked very happy, and he touched Han Xin's head again: "Opportunity, do you know what an opportunity is?" A small number of people or individuals do not know how to be satisfied when they get what they want, and they want to get more than they can do, so they need to launch a challenge, get the desired result in the process of the challenge, or have no bones left in the challenge. ”

Gongwei's demeanor looked relatively calm, he knew that Han Xin's words were very true, and Lu Zhe's answer was extremely correct, what people want to get depends on whether they have that ability, the belly has always had a capacity, not the more you eat, the better, if you eat too much, you don't have it, you swell yourself to death.

Ji Bu's eyes were rolling, and he remembered some bad things, such as being promoted from the five hundred lords to the chief generals who led tens of thousands of troops, and then thought that he could gnaw down somewhere, but he was knocked to the point that his flesh was broken and bleeding. He knows that he is a person who is not willing to be lonely, and he also understands what it means to have desires beyond his own ability. Some of the qiΔ“ he got now was earned by himself, but more of it was due to Lu Zhe's tolerance, and he couldn't help but wonder if he would lose his way again in the future and want to get something beyond his ability.

Many people were thinking that the ideas might be strange, but one thing was probably the same, they heard Lu Zhe's confidence when he said those words. If you don't have confidence in yourself, you won't say it clearly in front of so many people.

"I want to get something. What can I gain. Where is the limit of my abilities. At this moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Yan Bi is of course one of the many people who think, but he doesn't think about what he has gained. For him, he has always known what he wants, and he has been constantly working and moving forward in that direction. Yes, he wants status, he wants glory and wealth. But he understands one thing, not everyone can be high, whether it is personality or charm, not everyone has it, and he should see himself clearly, so as not to become nothing without getting it.

Leaders are not born, but leaders are never something that anyone can be if they want to. Lu Zhe himself knows how he started his business, and he also understands that it is impossible for everyone to be loyal to him in this way, and he is even mentally prepared to wait for the betrayal that will come sooner or later.

It's ridiculous to say, isn't it? But what's so funny? Nothing that happened would be ridiculous, only a triumphant laugh or a defeated laugh.

Lu Zhe would not disturb everyone's contemplation, and he also stopped Han Xin, who wanted to speak.

Whether it is the reorganization of the army, the development of fame and strength, Lu Zhe should now think carefully about how long such a group can be maintained. He has thought and deduced that before the situation in the world changes greatly, their group will not fight among themselves. But when the external threat is gone, those who get what they want will be satisfied, and those who can't get what they want will be dissatisfied. It's not just his group, it's all, all, all...... There are countless groups of all people, not all of them will be satisfied, there will always be people who feel that they are not getting enough.

"Internal solidarity before the lifting of external threats is enough. In the process of removing external threats, small groups will continue to emerge, forming one interest group after another. The people Lu Zhe saw, some of them were in a daze, some were very relaxed looking at the scenery, and many of them were sweating because they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Lord?" Yan Bi didn't know when to approach Lu Zhe, and lowered his voice: "Is it ......?" ”

"Huh?!" Lu Zhe's question is not a question, it is a kind of unconscious pronunciation of course.

"Isn't it time to take action sooner?" Yan Bi laughed too much.

"Hah!" Lu Zhe laughed heartily, his smile attracted everyone's attention, and then there was another burst of laughter.

The co-lieutenant and Ji Bu glanced at each other, and they smiled.

Many of the generals were also looking at each other, and many of them were smiling.

In fact, it's useless to think so much now, I don't know what the situation will be in the future. Moreover, there are those who have vested interests on this side, and most people are satisfied with what they have gained so far.

That's it, Lu Zhe still believes in that sentence, there is no loyalty that is obtained for no reason, only common interests and constant pursuit. He doesn't think that there are only people in the Central Plains who are in such a small place in the world, this world is a sphere, except for the Central Plains, Northern Xinjiang, and Southern Xinjiang, the world is very large, and there are many objects to conquer, and he can always find new enemies after some external threats disappear.
