The most arrogant in history

Chapter 361: Always without morals.

Ye Kun said in a clear voice: "I have long admired General Feng's name. I wonder if he can give me any advice when we meet in front of the battlefield today?"

"I don't deserve your advice, but I have two questions for the King of Hanzhong."

Feng Shengzhi clasped his fists and said slowly, "You have been in charge of Yizhou for three or four years, right? May I ask, did you win the people over in Yizhou by virtue or by force?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I have never had any moral integrity or power. When I govern Yizhou, I just put the laws of the country first. From the governor to the common people, everyone is equal before the laws of the country."

Feng Shengzhi was stunned when he heard this: "Can national law guarantee equality for everyone?"

"I can't guarantee it, but it's more reliable than some bullshit morality, and it's also more reliable than force." Ye Kun said:

"The premise of ruling the world with morality is that the ruler is moral. If a ruler is immoral, the world will be in chaos. Ruling the world with force may be powerful for a while, but it is difficult to sustain. If you want the country to be stable and peaceful for a long time, you must have perfect laws."

Feng Shengzhi nodded and asked, "Excuse me, King Hanzhong, what is the biggest problem facing our Great Ding Kingdom right now?"

"It was the wars among the princes that destroyed production, causing the people to suffer and thousands of miles of wilderness."

Ye Kun sighed, "In my dream, I vaguely see my mother's tears and the king's flags on the city walls. After all the fighting, the common people suffer the most. I use Yizhou as my base and raise an uprising army to resolve the disputes among the princes and save the people from danger."

"King of Hanzhong, everyone can speak your great truths." Feng Shengzhi laughed and bowed:

"I have a plan that can fulfill the King of Hanzhong's wish. If you surrender to my lord Xiahou Chang immediately, Jiangdong and Liaodong will surrender. At that time, there will be no more wars in the world, and everyone will enjoy peace. Isn't it wonderful?"

Ye Kun was furious and said seriously:

"General Feng, I thought you were a master, so I met you on the battlefield. I didn't expect that you couldn't tell right from wrong and were a fool. Xiahou Chang massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, which was the act of a beast. If he had won the world, the people would have lived even more miserably!"

Feng Shengzhi shook his head: "Since we are not on the same page, there is no need to talk about it. Ye Zei, go back and prepare for the fight. Feng Shengzhi is definitely not a coward!"

After saying this, Feng Shengzhi rode away on his horse.

"Okay, let's fight it out on the battlefield!"

Ye Kun was also angry and rode back to his camp.

I failed to persuade him to surrender, wasted half a day talking, and was ridiculed by this grandson. This is really unbearable!

"Beat the drums, prepare to attack!"

Ye Kun walked into the big tent, put on armor, and immediately gave orders.

"My lord, wait a moment!"

Zhuge Feng and Gongsun Erniang walked in with smiles on their faces.

Ye Kun said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Seeing me being mocked by Feng Shengzhi, you are very happy, right?"

"Yes, I am very happy."

Gongsun Erniang couldn't help laughing and waved her hand, saying, "Feng Shengzhi rode back on his horse, but his right hand was behind his back, shaking repeatedly. Did you see that, Senior Brother?"

Ye Kun was stunned: "No. Did he shake his hand? What does that mean?"

At that time, Feng Shengzhi turned around and Ye Kun also turned around, so he didn't see Feng Shengzhi's little movement.

He was indeed waving his hands secretly behind his back, and was clearly seen through the telescopes of Zhuge Feng and Gongsun Erniang.

Zhuge Feng smiled and said, "Feng Shengzhi has decided to surrender, but he didn't dare to say it directly in front of the two armies, fearing that it would cause a mutiny in the army. So he scolded you, but then turned around and waved his hand. I expect that when he returns to the barracks, he will immediately arrange personnel and then defect to surrender."

Ye Kun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is that true? You guessed it right?"

Zhuge Feng smiled and said, "My lord, please wait and see. Even if you guess wrong, it's okay. It will only delay you for one day."

"Okay, I'll listen to my military advisor and junior sister this time!"

Ye Kun laughed and ordered the three armies to stay put and make preparations.

After dark, Nanyang City was in chaos.

Ye Kun was about to send someone to inquire when several war horses came running in the darkness. The riders shouted, "Don't shoot, General Feng Shengzhi, come and surrender to the King of Hanzhong!"

The personal guards stepped forward to stop the rider, searched him, and brought him into the tent.

The rider greeted Ye Kun and said, "We are the personal soldiers of General Feng Shengzhi, and we are here to deliver a letter. General Feng is willing to surrender, has taken control of Nanyang City, killed Xiahou Chang's confidant, and respectfully invites the King of Hanzhong to enter the city. This is a handwritten letter from General Feng."

Ye Kun was overjoyed and took the letter to read it.

In the letter, Feng Shengzhi said that he did not dare to surrender in front of the two armies in the morning, and after returning, he arranged for his confidants to eliminate Xiahou Chang's men and completely control Nanyang and the army. Now please invite Ye Kun to enter the city, and he will wait outside the South Gate.

"Hahahaha, General Feng is here to surrender. God is really helping me!"

Ye Kun laughed and rewarded the riders who delivered the letter: "Go back and tell General Feng that I will lead my troops into the city early tomorrow morning. It is already dark now, and a large army entering the city will surely disturb the people."

The rider got the order and left.

Zhuge Feng asked, "My Lord, you didn't enter the city right away. Are you worried that Feng Shengzhi might be plotting something?"

"That's true." Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile:

"It's dark now, and the situation in the city is unclear. If we rush into the city rashly, it will be very risky. If this is Feng Shengzhi's plan, wouldn't we be in a mess? If we enter the city after daybreak, we will be safe."

Defenses can not do without.

Feng Shengzhi did not send his son as a hostage, so Ye Kun still didn't dare to completely trust him!

Zhuge Feng and Gongsun Erniang both nodded in agreement.

Ye Kun issued an order that everything in the army should be normal, and scouts, guards and soldiers on duty must not let their guard down. Anyone who dares to slack off will be executed!

Zhuge Feng was in a good mood. He took out a jar of wine and drank with Ye Kun.

After drinking three cups, Zhuge Feng smiled and said, "If we take Nanyang tomorrow, Luoyang will be within reach. My lord, have you ever thought about what to do next after entering Luoyang?"

Ye Kun asked back: "What do you think should be done next?"

"I think, my lord, you can consider ascending the throne." Zhuge Feng lowered his voice.

"Mr. Zhuge, please don't hurt me." Ye Kun was startled and waved his hand and said:

"Xiahou Chang occupied the Central Plains, with a million soldiers and a population of more than ten million, but he still did not dare to claim the throne. How dare I, a small carpenter and a commoner, covet the throne?"

The time is far from ripe for him to become emperor now.

A monkey wearing a human costume will only make a laughing stock.

Zhuge Feng said with a smile: "Then let's take Luoyang and seize the emperor?"

"Why would I rob him? To use the emperor to control the other princes?" Ye Kun shook his head and said with a smile:

"Xiahou Chang robbed the emperor, and he couldn't order me and Xiao Dequan. Therefore, the emperor's influence is not that great. Besides, Luoyang may not be taken down, and the emperor will not stay in Luoyang and wait for me."

When the eighteen princes attacked Niu Yeliang, Ye Kun attacked Luoyang once.

Even the routes of advance are similar.

Luoyang is now in Xiahou Chang's hands, and it is more difficult to capture than before.

The general stationed in Luoyang is Xiahou Chang's brother-in-law and clan brother, and he will definitely fight to the death.

Zhuge Feng looked back at the map on the wall and said thoughtfully, "If we can't take Luoyang, it will be difficult for us to defend Nanyang City."

Nanyang has a flat terrain and there are no strategic locations to defend.

This was also one of the reasons why Feng Shengzhi surrendered.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "If we can't take Luoyang, we will withdraw our troops from Nanyang and retreat to Xinye. Then we will annex the entire Jingxiang and then plan for Jiangnan."

Ye Kun felt that it was still a little early to enter the Central Plains now.

The best strategy is to recapture the Jingxiang area, rest for a year or two, eliminate Xiao Dequan in Jiangdong, and then fight a decisive battle in the Central Plains.

At this time, the guards came to report: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements from Jiangnan have arrived, led by Madam Huangfu Lin, General Cherry!"

"Cherry... General?"

Ye Kun almost couldn't hold it in and spat out the wine in his mouth!
