Chapter 152 Seeking benevolence and receiving benevolence
"You want to recruit someone?" Xu Rong showed a surprised expression for the first time.
"...Exactly." Wang Yu was a little confused, what's the matter?
Isn't it a very common and reasonable routine to defeat famous generals, treat them with courtesy and then recruit them? Is there any other way to say this?
"General Wang, why do you want to recruit someone?" Xu Rong asked again.
Wang Yu understood a little bit.
Xu Rong is very good at fighting. This is not surprising. Starting from the founder Mo Di, the Moh family has been rich in various talents, especially warriors.
However, the Mohist warriors believed in stopping the fight, which is the most contradictory aspect of the Mohist philosophy and the most respectable aspect. Possessing powerful force without abusing it, even in later generations, no country can truly achieve this.
In short, Xu Rong is not a general in the usual sense. If he is asked to lead an army to attack a city and capture territory, he will definitely not do it, even if he has a reputation of righteousness. This old man is not an ordinary person. Do you want to deceive him? Put Kong Lao 2
It’s no use looking for him!
Therefore, even if Xu Rong agrees with his ambition to calm the troubled times, it is useless. He cannot abandon his original philosophy. What is the use of generals who are unwilling to fight? Xu Rong's rhetorical question is for this reason.
"Yu doesn't mean to ask the general to abandon his ideals, but since he wants to use the best of hundreds of schools of thought to govern the world, if there is a general beside Yu who can give him advice, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
When Wang Yu said this, Jia Xu arrived just in time. As soon as he heard this, garlic was mixed at his feet. Fortunately, Li Cun had quick hands and eyes, otherwise he would definitely have fallen hard.
While thanking Li Cun, Jia Xu rolled his eyes: This routine sounds too familiar. Obviously, the little lord has used his old tricks again. He relies on cheating to win battles, and relies on deception to retain talents. It is indeed a trick that has been used all over the world!
Wang Yu glanced sideways at Jia Xu. He knew what the fat man was thinking, but this was the best way. Why not?
As long as someone is deceived, are you still afraid that he will fly away? Jia Xu was reluctant at first, but isn't he very active now? Doesn't he become in love over time...
Besides, a famous general like Xu Rong is very useful even if he is not on the battlefield. He is very good as an instructor. As long as his generals learn half of his skills, they will be famous generals in the world.
Moreover, the Mo family is just stopping the war, not not fighting. As long as he stays in his own territory and others come over, can he watch it happen?
"The general wants to rule the world? Where? Luoyang?" They were all prisoners. Xu Rong was much tougher than Jia Xu. He didn't take Wang Yu's words at all.
"Of course not." Wang Yu replied flatly.
Xu Rong has said so much before, but he just doesn't want to continue to march into Luoyang, or even attack Guanzhong, and completely provoke chaos in the Central Plains. If he insists on going his own way, then there is no need to continue this conversation.
What's more, what Xu Rong said makes sense. If he really enters Luoyang, he might stir up a hornet's nest and be attacked by the two forces of the Yuan clan! With two thousand years of experience, no one knows better than Wang Yu.
The fate of the country, how crazy it is to only care about his own family, he doesn't want to draw chestnuts from the fire.
"Even without General Xu's advice, Yu originally had other plans..."
Wang Yu just doesn't want to be another Sun Jian. In troubled times, the truth is that the fist is big, but if the fist is not big enough to defy the sky, some rules cannot be ignored. Of course, this cannot be said.
"Yu just wants to stabilize Luoyang and send the people home safely. As for the emperor and the court, if he can, Yu will try his best to rescue him. If he can't, there is nothing he can do. After this battle, Dong Zhuo must be frightened and drive him back to Guanzhong to let him go.
Once the forces in the Central Plains reach a balance, Yu can retire with success."
When he spoke, Wang Yu had a look of compassion on his face. Captain Li Yifeng had been deceived by Fatty Jia for a long time. When he saw this, he was even more moved and burst into tears.
What is a true hero? This is it. He is so benevolent, brave and wise, so heroic! It turns out that he has never known Wang Pengju in his life, so it is in vain to call him a hero!
Of course, this kind of acting skills can only deceive someone like Captain Li who has no scheming skills. It is still far away to deceive Xu Rong. Xu Rong thought about it and saw Wang Yu's true intention. He became more and more convinced that this young man
He is indeed not a lunatic. He would not do something he knows is impossible.
That's enough.
Xu Rong did not ask Wang Yu's specific strategy, but looked relieved and said lightly: "In this case, please give the general an order."
Wang Yu was startled and said subconsciously: "What order?"
"Rong is the general who defeated the army. He ruined the general's affairs and killed many men in both armies. How can he live in shame? If the general takes action himself, he can publicize it to the outside world. If Xu Rong is killed in formation, his reputation will be even louder. It can also be regarded as Rong's due.
The general is rewarded for his kindness; if the general refuses to take action, then he will end it on his own."
"General!" Not only Wang Yu was surprised, Xu Rong's personal guards were also anxious.
Before laying down their weapons, they thought that Wang Yu would not embarrass the general. Things did turn out this way. The conditions offered by Wang Yu were not bad. The hope of the Mohist family's revival was still slim, but they finally had a direction.
The other princes all came from well-known families. Even Dong Zhuo, a son of a good family, was very wary of the Mohists. If the situation hadn't been really critical, how would his own generals have had the opportunity to lead troops into battle?
The two sides were obviously having a good conversation, why did the general suddenly...
"I have made up my mind, there is no need to say anything more." Xu Rong waved his hand, his expression still calm, but his tone was full of no doubt, Wang Yu didn't even have time to persuade.
To be honest, Wang Yu didn't know how to persuade him. Things like faith and religion all had the emphasis on martyrdom, and Xu Rong, a stubborn old man, had this taste.
First, they were defeated, and the old man was also disappointed with the prospects of the Mohists. He promised not to invade Luoyang, put aside his worries, and asked Ren Deren.
I knew it would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. Wang Yu was in a dilemma.
"Lord?" Jia Xu winked. He was worried that Wang Yu would make a wrong choice, such as letting the tiger return to the mountain or something.
This little lord likes to play with people and show sympathy to each other, such as him and Lu Bu, otherwise he would not have gone to Luoyang in person. After all, didn't he just want to bring the Bingzhou Army under his command? In the end, because of a woman and Lu Bu
If a fight breaks out, isn't this self-defeating? It's better not to go.
Now this person is more terrifying than Lu Bu. He has so many favorable factors on his side, but in the end he only narrowly wins. If he lets him go and meets him again in the future, what will he do?
His belief is very firm, but there is no guarantee that he will not be taken advantage of! My Lord's ability to be benevolent and hypocritical cannot be compared with a real expert.
Strictly speaking, the lord shows more boldness and domineering rather than benevolence and righteousness. This is also his true temperament, but he is not aware of it himself and always thinks that his acting skills are good...
"Lord!" At this time, Yu Jin also rushed over and shouted.
Wang Yu didn't know what the two confidants were thinking, but the meanings expressed by both sides were very clear. Jia Xu advocated leaving no future troubles, while Yu Jin couldn't bear it.
What should we do?
No matter what he did, the reasons were very sufficient, and it seemed difficult to make a decision. But Wang Yu had never been a person who liked to be entangled, so there was nothing to think about. He waved his hand decisively: "In that case..."
Huang Zhong shouted eagerly: "Lord!"
Wang Yu looked at the veteran and fully understood the other's mood. Speaking of which, Xu Rong and Huang Zhong also had many similarities. He turned to look at Xu Huang and looked at each other. Xu Huang's stance seemed to be opposite.
It's more neutral, but it's also biased towards the forbidden side.
Except for the fat man, all his subordinates come here to admire his reputation of loyalty, which is also the right thing to do.
"Wait until I finish." Wang Yu's tone was still calm, but there was an invisible majesty in it, and all the generals were in awe.
All the generals undoubtedly contributed to this great victory and each performed outstandingly, but the entire strategic concept was decided by Wang Yu, and it was he who decided to go against the current and fight against it.
The final result proved that Wang Yu was right, and allowed the subsequent second generals to truly experience his bravery.
The spirit of a general who is not angry but has no authority has been fully demonstrated in the young man.
"There was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period. In today's battle, General Xu came with faith, and Yu Yi fought to save the country. There was only victory or defeat, there was no right or wrong. The general wanted to be benevolent and martyrdom after this battle, but for what reason?
allusion?"
Xu Rong didn't answer. He had already seen Wang Yu's debating skills and didn't want to use short attacks to achieve long results.
"What's more, Yu defeated the general using trickery rather than upright tactics. What he said to the general just now was probably out of consideration for recruiting the general. Since Yu's debut, only the general has allowed Yu to use all his skills.
But he was able to win a narrow victory and almost defeated the general..."
Wang Yu felt Huang Zhong's gaze. He nodded in response and continued: "In other words, in today's world, the only one who can suppress Yu is General Xu. If General Xu dies, in the future if Yu will bring disaster to the world, there will be
Who can control it?"
Hearing this, Li Yifeng couldn't bear it any longer, and tears fell down in a flash.
General Wang's mind is so broad. In order to save people, he did not hesitate to slander his own reputation. How could such a great hero bring trouble to the world? He is the savior of the world!
"Haha," Xu Rong laughed, "General Wang needs to know that the world is huge and heroes emerge in large numbers. There are countless heroes hiding in the grass, who are similar to Rong, or even more powerful... If you think you are invincible
, If you underestimate the heroes of the world, you will suffer big losses in the future. Take Rong as an example, did the general know Rong's name before Rong went to fight Liangdong?"
If it's just a name, then I really know...
Wang Yu also laughed loudly: "The general's words are not bad, but although there are dragons and snakes in the grass, they have not appeared in the world. Until someone appears in the world, only the general can threaten someone."
"Wrong, wrong." Xu Rong shook his head repeatedly and said: "In terms of military use alone, there are more than one or two people who are similar to Rong?"
"May I ask who it is?"
Xu Rong said a name: "Huangfu Yizhen."
"Although General Huangfu is good at military strategy, he seems to be brave..."
When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Huangfu Song was in Chang'an at the time. He had tens of thousands of Yongzhou frontier troops under his command. If he counterattacked, he might not be able to bring order to the chaos. However, he did not choose King Qin, but went to the capital according to the order. Dong Zhuo almost found an excuse to kill him. Saying that he
Regardless of whether he took the overall situation into consideration or endured the humiliation and waited for the opportunity, Wang Yu just felt that he was not responsible.
"Chen Liu Cao Mengde, Jiangdong Sun Wentai."
"These two are indeed heroes, but in front of the general, it seems..."
Niu, one of the two founders of the Three Kingdoms era, was certainly very good, but both of them were defeated by Xu Rong. If Xu Rong had not defeated these two men, he would not have been so famous in later generations. History is such a thing
, was originally written by the person who had the last laugh.
Xu Rong shook his head and sighed: "General Wang, you are good at finding people's weaknesses and taking advantage of opportunities to attack. Why don't you think about how Rong won and what's the reason?"
"May I ask General Xu, what is the reason?" Wang Yu just wanted to persuade Xu Rong at first, but now his interest was completely aroused. (To be continued.
