Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 81 Confucianism
"So... my demon ants dug for nothing all night?" Early the next morning, Chu Nan appeared in a Confucian robe and Zhang Liao, who was dressed as a family general, appeared outside Wan City in such a grand manner, and followed the crowd into the city. , Looking at the open city gate, Chu Nan thought back to the expression on his face last night that he was holding the pearls, and rushed to him so embarrassing~
"It may not be useless." Zhang Liao comforted: "Since Zhang Xiu has surrendered, there is no need to blockade Wancheng, it's just that you and I just happened to catch up."

Still embarrassing.

Chu Nan passed the inspection of the city gate guards with a blank face. If he is dressed like him, the guards will not embarrass him when it is not necessary. Besides, now that Wancheng has surrendered, both the Cao army and the Nanyang army are in a state of laxity. The interrogation is naturally not too strict.

Otherwise, in wartime, the two of them have a Jianghuai accent and the other a northern accent. It's no wonder that such a big loophole would not arouse suspicion.

"General, you said that this city wall can collapse if a strong man like his father-in-law fights. If there is a real fight, will this Wancheng collapse directly?" Chu Nan looked back at the high city wall and asked suddenly.

"Of course not." Zhang Liao shook his head.

"At the beginning of Xiaopei's battle, although I couldn't see it clearly, but when my father-in-law fought against Zhang Fei, Xiaopei's city wall collapsed immediately." Chu Nan still remembered the shock that Xiaopei's battle brought to him.

"If it were really that easy, all the cities in the Central Plains would have been destroyed by the lord." Shaking his head, Zhang Liao said with a smile: "A powerful scribe can make the city wall indestructible by saying the law, and the legalists can also make the city a world and use laws There is no way to strengthen the city wall, as for Liu Bei... Although Guan Zhang is brave, he is not so patient. When he invaded Yanzhou, Xun Yu alone made the city wall unshakable."

Chu Nan understands, the current Liu Bei is still a crutching monarch, although Guan Zhang is an enemy of thousands of people, but there is no counselor around him who can stabilize the rear for him. , Even the city walls can't be kept.

Of course, Liu Bei also has counselors around him now, such as Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu, but the level of such people obviously cannot be compared with that of Xun Yu.

However, Zhang Liao said solemnly: "I just don't know whether the reason why Wancheng is so strong is because of Cao Cao or Zhang Xiu. If Cao Cao loses the support, it will be even more difficult to destroy Cao Cao."

"It should be Zhang Xiu." Chu Nan said with a smile, there is Jia Xu next to Zhang Xiu, I don't know if there is a way to abduct this Jia Xu...

Thinking of this, Chu Nan suddenly asked: "General, what if the general meets Confucianism or Legalism?"

"That depends on how to fight." Zhang Liao thought for a while and smiled: "Confucianism can be said to be indiscriminate with the law, but if it is a close fight, the generals are naturally powerful, but if the two sides are separated by a certain distance, the Confucian means But there are many, as for the Legalists, if they are in charge of the law in their territory, but if they behave improperly, they can be bound by the law. As long as your behavior is not in line with the law, you can be bound or even wiped out! In the other party's territory, encounter It’s okay to talk about Confucianism, but if you encounter Legalism, unless you have one person who is capable of defeating a country, otherwise you are as strong as an opponent of Legalism.”

"Does that mean that the Legalists are invincible on their own territory?" Chu Nan asked in surprise.

"It's not that easy. Why do you think Confucianism messes with the law? Besides, those who practice the law must first discipline themselves. If they can't do it themselves, how can they restrain others, and only the law that everyone approves can be bound. It is reasonable To put it bluntly, the whole world is dominated by the Han Dynasty, but when the imperial court lieutenant arrives in Xuzhou, do you think his law is still effective?" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "This law requires the approval of all people and the support of the imperial court. If there is no response With the body of an official, the law cannot be exercised."

That is to say, there must be a corresponding official position before the law can be used. For a big force, there may be only one legalist who can really reach the top level, and this person must be extremely self-disciplined, otherwise it is equivalent to putting the law on his own. My ability is broken!

"Although Legalism is powerful, if it is in a prosperous age, Legalism is naturally powerful, but in troubled times, Legalism will find it difficult to compete with Confucianism." Zhang Liao sighed: "Furthermore, there have been few successful legalists in history."

Chu Nan nodded silently when he heard the words. Legalism seems like a dead end, but it is an indispensable family in the prosperous age. Confucianism... If Legalism represents the public, then Confucianism represents privateness.

Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law. What is in chaos is not the law, but the human heart in the final analysis!

But at this moment, Chu Nan didn't care who was stronger in Confucianism or Legalism, he cared more about which faction Jia Xu belonged to?
Confucianism or Legalism?

Most of them are Confucianism and Taoism.

Thinking about what Jia Xu does and his style of acting, it seems that it has nothing to do with Legalism.

"Is it possible to cultivate both Confucianism and Legalism?" Chu Nan suddenly thought of a question. Confucianism and Legalism can naturally coexist in a country, but in an individual, can the two practice together?
"Of course it is possible, but few people can do it." Zhang Liao nodded, then shook his head: "There are quite a few people who practice Confucianism, Taoism, and military art. In the past, Lu Shuai achieved great success in both Confucianism, Taoism, and military art!"

At the end, Zhang Liao had a look of reverence on his face.

Confucianism focuses on self-cultivation, and then it is for the world. The starting point of Legalism is from the perspective of the world. The goals of both parties can be said to be the same goal. The requirements for individuals are a bit harsh. On the contrary, military strategists and other schools have both practiced.

Lu Shuai is Lu Zhi, a great Confucian scholar in China, and also a master of the art of war.

Chu Nan has not yet formally stepped into practice, and he doesn't count any of them, but because of this, Chu Nan cares more about these things, and chooses a path of practice for himself in the future.

While talking, the two heard the news all the way and found Zhang Xiu's house.

"I don't know who the young master is..." The gate guard saw that Chu Nan was dressed in a Confucian robe, with a face like a crown of jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed like a good gentleman, and Zhang Liao beside him was dressed in a coarse cloth, but he had his own majesty, which made people dare not look down upon him. He wanted to see Zhang Xiu, but he didn't dare to push him away, so he asked cautiously.

"Let me tell General Zhang that the old man from Chang'an is here to relieve the general's worries." Chu Nan said with a smile.

Although I am not, but my father-in-law is.

"Young Master, wait a moment." The guard did not dare to neglect, saluted Chu Nan, turned around and went to report.

Seeing Zhang Liao looking at him strangely, he smiled and said, "If he didn't say that, how could Zhang Xiu be willing to wait for me?"

"The general is even more curious about why Ziyan is so calm?" Zhang Liao joked. Most people can pretend not to be like that, but Chu Nan looks like one. If he didn't know the basics, he wouldn't be able to see that demeanor.

"There is no one else, but I am familiar with it." Chu Nan said calmly: "I come from such a background, if I want to get through the door, I should have this kind of ability. It doesn't matter whether it can be done or not. I can see these big people. If you have a chance, if you can't even see anyone, how can you talk about the chance?"

It's heartbreaking to say it~
