Great ideas and tough choices.
If Zhu Li did not know that the other party was a girl, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his mind did not indicate that the other party was a heroic spirit or a rebellious heroic spirit, he would definitely think that the other party was the reincarnation of a famous hero throughout the ages.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Muran raised his little head high, obviously very proud of his brilliant plan.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that even her ragged and dirty dress, which was so dirty that its original color could not be distinguished, seemed particularly elegant.
Especially her pair of beautiful and intelligent eyes, which were radiant and heroic.
The two crystal noodles under the nostrils seemed to become sparkling and brilliant, as if even they wanted to add a bit of brilliance to the master's unrestrained and heroic words.
Kill eight birds with one stone
Li Keyong, Wang Xi, Li Quanzhong, Liu Rengong, plus the Di people outside the Great Wall, these are the five birds, right
But don't forget that Le Yanzhen and the Zhu brothers were also fighting fiercely. If Zhu Li followed Qian Muran's strategy and took advantage of the battle between the five parties, he would suddenly rush out and attack all five parties.
With deliberate planning, we will surely be able to defeat the five forces in one fell swoop.
If that time comes, how long can Le Yanzhen, Zhu Jin and Zhu Xi brothers survive in front of the powerful and elite Heshuo army
After Zhu Li wipes them out, Wang Chucun will be left alone. Can he still cause any trouble
Killing eight birds with one stone is absolutely true.
Qian Muran's strategy had only one condition, which was to open the gates of Youzhou, use the people of Youzhou, Yingzhou and other places as bait, allow the Di people to plunder, and lure the Di people who entered the pass into deeper and deeper trouble.
However, it allowed Zhu Li to launch a strike at the critical moment, pacify the six warlords in one fell swoop, and severely damage the Di people who entered the pass and Li Keyong who advanced eastward.
In Qian Muran's eyes, compared with the results, opening the gates of Youzhou and allowing the enemy to plunder is a trivial cost.
But this "insignificant" contribution violated Zhu Li's taboo.
What is Zhu Li's identity? Putting aside his identity as a general, he is just a grassroots. Whether in his past life or this life, he is always a hardworking bumpkin at the bottom of society.
Sometimes, the poorer a person is, the simpler he is and the kinder his heart is.
Supporting each other in times of difficulty, sticking together, sharing weal and woe, etc., all illustrate this truth.
Zhu Li is one of them. He is absolutely unwilling to hurt innocent people in order to achieve his own goals.
In later society, a real scene happened where someone picked up a purse, saw the money inside, and embezzled it; not knowing that it was the money the owner needed to save his life, and the patient missed the best period of treatment and eventually died.
Anyone who embezzles other people's money is equivalent to killing a living person. If anyone has a conscience, can he live the rest of his life in peace
Wouldn't he be condemned by his conscience
Of course, anyone who could do such a thing would have no conscience.
It’s like everyone thinks that it’s okay to say a few gossips, but anyone who has seen “Killing” knows that gossip can melt metal and constant criticism can destroy a person.
Such a healthy person eventually became sick even though he was healthy, and was driven to death by groundless rumors. That's the reason.
Mistakes, no matter how big or small, a piece of boy's urine can cause a country's tens of thousands of troops to be completely defeated, let alone a small mistake.
Opening the gates of Youzhou meant abandoning the people of Youzhou; at the cost of the lives and deaths of some people in Youzhou, in exchange for the pacification of the entire Hebei Province, from a strategic point of view, sacrificing the small for the sake of the big seemed impeccable.
But if Zhu Li were asked to hand over the people of Youzhou to the Di people to be robbed and killed, would he do that
No, absolutely not.
“Do not do evil for the sake of small gains, and do not refrain from doing good for the sake of small gains.” This is the education Zhu Li had received. No matter how good Qian Muran’s plan was, Zhu Li would not do it as long as it harmed the people of the Han Dynasty.
This is the bottom line, no further explanation needed.
Zhu Li was not a hero, nor was he even a qualified monarch. If it were not for the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which helped him gather so many outstanding people, he would have been working hard in some corner of the Tang Dynasty, doing tedious and heavy work just to make his loved ones live a better life.
After Qian Muran finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Li with a sharp gaze. She hoped that the other party would immediately adopt her suggestion so that she could avenge her clan's genocide. However, the result was destined to disappoint her.
After hearing her advice, Zhu Li turned away coldly and said indifferently: "Let's skip this matter and don't mention it again. Let's hurry on our way."
As soon as he said this, Zhu Li turned around and walked towards Fenzhou; except for two silly little girls who followed him like little tails, everyone else looked at each other in confusion, their hair disheveled in the wind.
When Geng M saw this scene, his brows slightly furrowed, and he thought for a moment. In his opinion, Qian Muran's plan was definitely a work of god, but why didn't Zhu Li use such a wonderful plan
Yi Jiangnan, Li Gufeng and Yang Zhengjian were also confused.
Yuchi Jin glanced at the few people, stretched out his hand and put his arm around Qian Muran's shoulders. Looking at the other person with sad eyes, he sighed, "My wife's plan is very good, but if you want to sacrifice the people of Youzhou to achieve this plan, then it touches his bottom line."
The bewildered crowd then realized that the legendary General Huaihua had such a stubborn side, which did not seem like a hero at all.
Living in troubled times and being a local tyrant, one must use every possible means to achieve victory.
But for Zhu Li, once the lives of ordinary people and good people are involved, some methods will not work.
Throughout history, especially the Three Kingdoms period, the heroic hero Cao Cao killed his benefactors and massacred cities. His motto was "I would rather betray the world than be betrayed by the world."
Liu Bei, who was praised by later generations, failed to distinguish between public and private affairs, and did not know the priorities. In order to avenge Guan Yu, he sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, which was tantamount to massacring a city. After suffering a defeat, he abandoned his wife and children, which was despicable.
The tyrant Sun Quan was ruthless and ungrateful. He sold his sister, bullied his sister-in-law, and clung to power, which was immoral. Unofficial historians speculated that Sun Ce was killed by him.
... ...
These people are the qualified heroes. Compared with them, Zhu Li is too petty.
"But..." Qian Muran felt very aggrieved. This was a brilliant idea that she had come up with after much thought and weighing of the pros and cons. As a wise person, it was normal for her to look at the overall situation and sacrifice the small for the big.
From the perspective of a strategist, sacrificing the lives of the people of Youzhou, or possibly a part of them, in exchange for the pacification and stability of the entire Hebei region was indeed a rare and good strategy.
However, Zhu Li was unwilling to do so, and even listened to her plan. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of coldness, as if he wanted to get to know her all over again. How could she not feel aggrieved
"My lady, you don't have to say more. His temper is not directed at you alone. He will do the same to anyone who violates this bottom line." Yuchi Jin quickly interrupted Qian Muran's defense and patiently comforted him, "You should have heard that the two Mr. Guo in Shuozhou are deeply trusted by him. Both of them are talented people with broad minds and broad minds. Even so, their advice rarely offends the people."
"It's not that they don't dare, but they know very well that even if they present such a plan to the general, he will not adopt it given his character. It will only make him unhappy and there will be no effect. What's the point of saying it?"
With Yuchi Jin's repeated consolation and careful guidance, these new civil and military officials who had joined Zhu Li had a certain understanding of Zhu Li. Rather than saying that Zhu Li was a monarch, it would be better to say that this guy was a young man with flesh and blood and principles.
When the group entered Fenzhou, Zhao Zilong, the governor of Fenzhou and general Xuanwei, immediately hosted a banquet for them.
The next day, under Zhao Zilong's arrangement, two carriages and several fast horses carried Zhu Li and others, heading due north towards Shuozhou.
A year passed, and the new Shanyang City rose from the ground several miles away from the original Shanyang City, but it was not yet completed and could not be inhabited. When Zhu Li and his party returned, they went directly to Kaiyang.
Whether going to war or returning in triumph, Zhu Li almost always came and left quietly, with no intention of disturbing the people or creating momentum, and this time was no exception.
After entering the city, Yuchi Jin brought a group of ladies and went straight back to Yuchi Mansion; Zhu Li brought a few men and went to the general's mansion.
In the past, whenever he came back, his parents would always bring his younger siblings and stand at the door of their house, quietly waiting for him, but this time, they didn't do that.
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Feeling this, he felt uneasy.
As soon as he entered the general's mansion, Zhu Li immediately felt a dull, depressing, and even sad atmosphere.
When I entered the main hall and looked around, I saw my father Zhu Chun with his head hung down, sitting restlessly and with a worried look on his face; and my mother Zheng had red and swollen eyes and was crying inconsolably.
His younger sister Ning'er and his second son Zhu?m did not show up at all; Dong Ningyang, who had returned earlier than him, also had a gloomy face and sat listlessly on the side, looking sad.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Li's heart skipped a beat and he immediately became alarmed. Something bad must have happened.
Zhu Chun glanced at Zhu Li who was leading people into the house, and immediately shouted impatiently: "Da Lang, Da Lang, you are finally back."
"Your sister is in trouble. You should lead your troops out of the border and rescue her."
"Yes, Dalang, your sister has been kidnapped by the Di people. You should hurry and rescue her." When mother Zheng heard Zhu Chun's shouting, she quickly raised her head, and when she saw Zhu Li, she immediately screamed at him.
As the two elders spoke, they hurriedly walked towards Zhu Li, as if they had seen a savior.
But when Zhu Li heard their words, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and felt dizzy.
Something happened to his little sister. Ning'er, who loved to hug his neck and ask for this and that, actually happened to him. Pain, a heart-wrenching pain, instantly surged into his heart and soon spread to his whole body.
Ning'er was actually kidnapped by the Di people. No matter what he did, he couldn't believe it was true. How could she be kidnapped by the Di people when she was staying in Kaiyang
When he thought of his sister now, and who knows what kind of ordeal she was going through, his usually strong and resolute body immediately began to tremble like a reed in the cold wind. It was a tremor that came from deep in his blood, and it was a throbbing pain like broken fingers and bruised bones.
The pain is so severe that I cannot control it. The pain is so severe that I cannot breathe.
With a loud scream of "Wow", Zhu Li suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood that spurted out into the sky.
