Everyone can calculate this account. In terms of the number of civilian casualties, a quick water attack is definitely much smaller than a quick victory.
If the offensive and defensive sides fought for ten years...then there would be a loss of lives and thousands of casualties!
Chunyu Yue could only say "this, this, this..." for a long time and was speechless. Others did not dare to interrupt. The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.
After a long while, Yang Duanhe coughed dryly and said to Chunyu Yue:
"Taifu, my subordinates have prepared some food and wine in the tent. Why don't you come with me and take a rest?"
"Let these young people go to war with swords and guns!"
"What's more, there is also the plumber Zheng Guo here. He will definitely handle it carefully and only let the floods rush into the city without hurting innocent people."
Although Chunyu Yue frowned, he still couldn't think of anything to refute, so he had no choice but to follow Yang Duanhe.
Seeing Chunyu walking further and further away, Shen Bing and Zheng Guo looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled knowingly.
Shen Bing secretly said:
It’s no wonder that Fusu would commit suicide without waiting for the facts to be understood after receiving the order. He had been taught by this pedantic old Confucian since he was a child, so he would inevitably be affected.
However, what Ying Zheng did seems to be right, and it can even be said to be very far-sighted.
Since ancient times, the founding emperors inevitably had to be tough, otherwise they would not be able to stand in a cruel war.
But what the country needs after stability is benevolent governance, so that long-term peace and stability can be achieved.
Therefore, Fusu, who grew up under the guidance of the great Confucian Chun Yuyue, was the perfect candidate to succeed the throne.
Shen Bing only dared to hesitate for a moment. He was worried that he would not be able to escape after a while, so he hurried towards Zheng Guodao to escape...
But by now it was too late to escape.
However, Yang Duanhe realized that something was wrong before he invited Chunyu Yue into the tent.
Chunyu Yue regarded him as his target on the road:
"General, listen to me: At this time, if a country of ten thousand chariots implements benevolent government, it will be convenient for the people."
"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to prevent flooding of the beam..."
Before Yang Duanhe could talk for a while, he felt that he was going to be confused by the principle of Yunshan Wudao.
When he walked into the tent, he was shocked to find Ying Zheng sitting upright inside, dressed as a businessman.
The two were about to bow down but were stopped by Ying Zheng.
It turns out that Ying Zheng knew that Chunyu Yue had gone after the Qin army and secretly said something bad.
Ying Zheng knew Chunyu Yue's personality well, and was afraid that Chunyu Yue's departure would disrupt the army's plan, so he quickly took his personal guards and chased after him.
Ying Zheng only confessed:
"You just think I'm a horse dealer, go and call that Shen Bing back!"
Although Yang and Chun didn't know why Ying Zheng did this, they still agreed.
The personal guard ran out and stopped Shen Bing who had just boarded the carriage:
"Stingy husband, the general ordered you to come to the tent to discuss important matters!"
Shen Bing looked helpless.
Why don't I run faster?
But Zheng Guo had a look of gloating on his face...
Hey, old man, do you want to look a little like an old man? Can you be more dignified?
Helplessly being "carried" to the commander's tent, Shen Bing bowed his hand to Yang Duanhe in a very low-key manner, and then saw the horse merchant.
Ma Shang smiled and said to Shen Bing:
"How about you, stingy man, please don't come?"
"I just happened to send a batch of war horses, but I didn't expect to meet a miser."
"You and I are really destined!"
Shen Bing thought to himself that this was quite a coincidence.
Yang Duanhe glanced at the horse dealer secretly, and then said "Ah" as if he was remembering something:
"Master, I just forgot to recommend you a man who will work hard..."
Chunyu Yue's face darkened and he said sarcastically:
"There is no need for a general's recommendation. Engineers and divisions can sink soldiers. Who can know who doesn't know?"
"I've long seen the name of the engineer in the essay on agriculture."
That's right, farmers are the enemy of Confucianism, and can even be said to be the number one enemy... Of course Chun Yuyue would study agriculture.
After a pause, Chunyu Yue continued:
"The stingy man made a waterwheel, and it overturned and solved the drought in Zhao. This is a great achievement."
"This move saved all the people from the fire and water, I admire you."
"At the same time, Chefu refused to join the farm family, and Lao Chen also deeply agreed."
"The old man was still saying to others the day before yesterday: This kid has a lot of knowledge and will become a great person in the future..."
"But I didn't expect that the stingy man would attack the beam with water. This is a big mistake!"
Wait, this is criticizing Shen Bing and demoting the peasant family!
Is it "reasonable" not to join a farmer's family?
When Yang Duanhe saw Shen Bing frowning, he raised his glass in salute and said with a smile:
"Come on, stingy man, let's have a drink and then argue slowly!"
Shen Bing:*&&*%%%￥￥#￥……
But how could Shen Bing dare to show it off? He had to raise his glass and take a sip before replying:
"What the Grand Tutor said is nothing more than asking us to give up the water attack on the beams."
"If we follow what Taifu said, wouldn't it mean that we, the Qin Dynasty, cannot attack the six kingdoms?"
Chunyu Yue glanced at Ma Shang in shock, and then quickly replied:
"No, attacking the six countries is not as good as attacking the beams with water. Flooding the beams will hurt the people..."
Shen Bing retorted:
"I dare to ask Taifu, how can the soldiers in the army say that they are not common people?"
"How can you say that the soldiers who were killed and wounded on the battlefield did not harm the common people?"
Chunyu Yue was speechless again.
Obviously, don’t soldiers come from the common people?
The horse merchant nodded slightly as he listened.
Shen Bing continued:
"If seven parts of the world fight and kill each other, what will happen even if all countries adhere to morality and do not harm the common people?"
"Is this considered benevolent government? Will the people not suffer?"
"The people are still suffering from heavy taxes, military service and fighting each other!"
"If the world is not unified, the fighting will be endless."
"That's why Shen Bing believes that true benevolent government should be to unify the Central Plains and bring the world under Qin's control."
"This way we can avoid disputes and reduce killings."
"If there are no tigers and wolves in the world, there must be tigers and wolves in the world first."
"First there are the strongest tigers and wolves, and then there can be no tigers and wolves!"
The horse dealer immediately praised the case:
"Okay! It's better to have the strongest tiger and wolf first, and then there will be no tiger and wolf!"
"What the stingy man said makes sense, what he says makes sense!"
These words touched Ying Zheng's heart.
After Ying Zheng inherited the throne, he continued to conquer east and west.
Therefore, he was criticized by many people, especially Grand Tutor Chunyu Yue, who often gave him direct advice.
Ying Zheng never knew how to refute, and it was difficult to punish Chun Yu Yue for these remarks. Today, Shen Bing's words can be regarded as venting his anger on his behalf.
If Shen Bing knew this, he would definitely despise Ying Zheng:
Are you using me to vent your anger?
In fact, Shen Bing felt extremely relaxed after reciting the call.
Looking ahead again, Chun Yuyue was already deep in thought, muttering to himself:
"First there are the strongest tigers and wolves, and then there can be no tigers and wolves! This..."
"What's the point of this? What's the point of this?!"
Looking at Yang Duanhe again, he only looked at Shen Bing who hadn't come back to his senses:
