[69 Book Bar-www.] I suddenly felt annoyed and said, "Brother Ding, are you here today telling me this?"
Ding Henry poured another glass of wine and drank it, "It's almost the same. Brother Chu, I just want to tell you, even though I have reservations about the actions of the people, the people's hearts are self-evident. Brother Chu is today
Killing me will only make the people's hearts turn to the Republican Army. The empire is in a desperate situation, and even if it is you, you will be unable to turn things around."
I can't say a word. Ding Henry was not wrong. Today, the people's hearts are all on the side of the Republican Army. Whether this is the propaganda of the Republican Army or for other reasons, the empire has no support from the people, the most direct
The consequence is that the Imperial Army is becoming more and more difficult to recruit troops. The local army has the best reputation among the various armies. When it comes to the local army, it is said that "starving to death will not disturb the people". But even the local army is no longer summoned now.
The recruits have never been able to fill up. If this continues, the good reputation that the Earth Legion has established for a long time will definitely be worn out slowly.
Ding Henry looked at me and said slowly: "Brother Chu, I know you won't be polite to me, but I still have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to tell you another story."
I felt even more unhappy and said, "Brother Ding, what are you doing? I know you will definitely refuse to surrender, so I'd better ask you back. I will not show mercy again this time."
Ding Henry seemed to have not heard me, and took a sip of wine and said, "In summer, on a big tree, there are lush branches and leaves, and a cicada is singing. But this cicada did not expect that a mantis was hiding in it.
Behind you, ready to catch it at any time.”
Ding Henry actually started to tell the story! But this story seemed to have a deep meaning. I didn't say anything anymore, just listened to him. Ding Henry poured the cup again, took a sip, and said, "The mantis only thought he wanted to get one."
It had a delicious meal, but it also didn't expect that a little bird saw the bug, and was about to peck it. And the bird's mind was all about the mantis, which was like a mantis, and it didn't see it.
There was a child holding a slingshot and he had aimed at it."
He said, put down his wine glass, smiled on his face, "Mantis, birds, are already catching prey, but they themselves don't know that they are also prey. Is this story very wonderful? Haha."
My heart moved and I said, "Does Brother Ding tell this story have any profound meaning?"
Ding Henry looked up and looked at me and said, "Brother Chu, this world is not just about winning or losing. For cicadas, the mantis is the winner, but in the eyes of the bird, it is a prey."
If it were someone else's words, I would definitely think it was just a stubborn voice. Dante Henry's tone was very sincere, and my heart suddenly felt empty, and I couldn't help but say, "Does Brother Ding still have a ambush?"
Ding Henry said: "If I said there was no, Brother Chu would definitely not believe it. If I said there was, Brother Chu would not believe it either. It would be funny. Even if there were ambushes, I don't even know whether it could succeed. However,
I can tell Brother Chu that from the day I was forced to go to a dead end, this ambush should be launched."
I stood up suddenly and shouted, "Brother Ding, I think you are a loyal friend, so I have heard you say so much. If you just say something irrelevant, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll just ask you one thing, Ding
Brother, will you surrender?" Ding Henry was surrounded by me and had a total of 70,000 troops. With the strength of the Republican Army, there are at most 10,000 or 20,000 troops. Even if he can recruit troops urgently, he may not
Too many. Before I fought Ding Henry, I received a reliable secret report. All the troops were in Dongping City and the Empire was in stalemate. It was impossible for them to arrive here. When they arrived, Ding Henry's team had long been hungry.
It's right.
Ding Henry looked at me and said, "Brother Chu, if I really surrender, do you think you can turn the tide and the empire will no longer collapse?"
I said, "I don't know. I only know that I am a minister of the empire now and can only be loyal to this country."
Ding Henry's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "Don't you know this is foolish loyalty?"
I sighed secretly, but my face was still as stern as iron, and said, "It's better to say I'm stupid and loyal, I now represent the empire. When I chose this country, I have everything I love in this country, so I
All we have to do is to protect this country.”
Ding Henry's eyes became sharper and sharper. He pressed his hand on the desk, and it seemed that he would jump up at any time. I looked at him without any hesitation. After a while, he shook his head and sighed: "I'm foolish, foolish
Yes, it’s so stupid. Brother Chu, you have always insisted on eliminating the war, but doing so will only make the war lasting and uncontrollable."
I said, "Brother Ding, you didn't expect that if I didn't fight in this world, I wonder how many people would be emperors or kings, and the war would continue and the people would be even more painful.
, Even if you are willing to surrender, are those under your command willing to surrender? There are many ambitions everywhere, and you have no ambitions and can only become the sacrifice of others. When the emperor won the country, if he was not him, others would come up, saying
The war will last longer.”
This time it was Ding Henry's turn to remain silent. He must have thought that even if he surrendered, there would definitely be a large number of people in these 60,000 or 70,000 people who were unwilling to surrender to the Imperial Army and would demand a war to the last soldiers.
Trapped in Gaojiu City, I don’t know that Duke Cang Yue and Duke Wu had ulterior motives. On the surface, the two sides joined forces and had a lot more victory, but Luan Peng did not hesitate to advise the military and demanded to break with the Republican Army and kill them all.
It's also normal. The Republican Army was trapped by me. If they surrendered without fighting, some people would have asked to fight to the end. If Ding Henry had not restrained it, this arrogant force would have caused a
The imperial army was the same. Once I gave up, even the local army with the best military discipline would probably become a chaotic army that would do everything. My decisive battle with Ding Henry only put the fire to the smallest
To the extent that it can be said that it is a kind of luck.
After a while, Ding Henry poured another glass of wine and said, "Brother Chu, I think you are right. The wrong thing is that we shouldn't be born in this painful era."
I also sighed and said, "I have never had my own choice when I was a person in troubled times. In this war, no matter who wins or loses, the world will be peaceful in the future. We must build more schools to open up people's wisdom as the top priority.
Only one day will the people’s hearts no longer become the weapon of politicians, war will not exist.”
Ding Henry nodded and said, "Brother Chu, this new era is really something that can be nurtured by the baptism of blood and fire." He picked up the cup and suddenly sprinkled the wine in the cup on the ground, with a little expression.
He said sadly: "The teacher is defeated by you here. Brother Chu, maybe my blood will flow into the same place as the teacher's blood."
When he talked about Lu Jingyu again, I felt a little uncomfortable. Lu Jingyu is also my military strategy teacher, but he can be said to have died at my hands. I said, "Maybe it will be my blood."
