The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 239 Human Nature

"Then tell me, are you wrong?" Zhao Huan didn't answer him, but asked instead.

Seeing Zhao Huan kick the ball over again, Liu Moyu pondered for a while, and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, the general believes that this method can greatly reduce the casualties of our army."

Zhao Huan nodded, and said: "Your actions will reduce the casualties of our army, but have you ever thought that your actions will cause a lot of trouble for yourself?"

Hearing what Zhao Huan said, Liu Moyu said helplessly, "If your majesty thinks that the general did something wrong, then your majesty will punish the general."

Hearing what Liu Moyu said, Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Why? Listening to what you said, it seems that you have a lot of emotions."

Liu Moyu hurriedly said: "I dare not!"

Zhao Huan said coldly: "Don't dare, I don't think there is anything you dare not do. I have read your resume for so many years, won many victories, and also provoked a lot of people. Tell me, you With such an approach, how can I promote you?"

"The last general didn't even think about being promoted!" Liu Moyu said softly.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, the last general didn't say anything!" Liu Moyu lowered his head, but judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was not convinced.

Zhao Huan said to Liu Moyu: "In your heart, is the Jin army our enemy, should we kill them all?"

Although Liu Moyu didn't want to admit it, he really had such an idea at that time, so he nodded and said, "The Jin army killed so many of our clansmen, it's not an exaggeration to kill them."

"Then tell me, what are you going to do with these captives you captured?" Zhao Huan asked rhetorically.

This sentence stumped Liu Moyu, he really hadn't thought about it.

"Or, just kill him!" Liu Moyu said softly.

"Heh!" Zhao Huan said in a cold voice: "You said it simply, even if you Liu Moyu don't want your own reputation, but I still want my own reputation."

"Then how about letting them all go as we said?" Liu Moyu said with a little confidence.

"Let go? A group of people who dare to attack their teammates, do you dare to let them go?" Zhao Huan continued to ask.

"This..." Liu Moyu was silent, he really didn't know how to deal with this group of people.

Zhao Huan nodded at him and said, "You will cause trouble for me."

Liu Moyu laughed dryly, obviously not as angry as before.

"I ask you, what is your goal? Recover the lost land in the Central Plains, and conquer the sixteen prefectures of Youyun?" Zhao Huan didn't go deep into this issue. After all, Liu Moyu is a general. He is definitely a good player. It would be difficult for him to think about governing the country.

"Recovering the sixteen prefectures of Youyun is my lifetime wish!" Liu Moyu said with firm eyes.

"But what about after Youyun sixteen prefectures are recovered?" Zhao Huan continued to ask.

"After it's recovered?" Liu Moyu was stunned by the question. It hasn't been recovered yet, so he wants to recover things in the future?Also, can the Youyun Sixteen States be recovered?
"What? Don't you have any confidence in recovering Youyun Sixteen States?" Zhao Huan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, the last general, the last general doesn't mean that..." Liu Moyu felt that he didn't know how to proceed.

"Hmph, I think that's what you mean." Zhao Huan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the general has no such intentions. The general's lifelong wish is to recover the lost land. Before that, there was no hope, but now, after your majesty ascends the throne, the general feels that it is just around the corner to regain the lost land." Liu Moyu This sentence is sincere.

"Okay, I believe you!" Zhao Huan said softly, "But I still say the same thing, what about after regaining the lost ground? Is my Great Song Dynasty going to stop fighting?"

Liu Moyu was silent. To be honest, he really didn't think about what happened after this.

"Did you know that in the west of our continent, there is a place called the Empire on which the sun never sets, where, within a few years, cars can travel without being pulled by horses, and ships can move forward without being driven by sails. Can you kill people without bows and arrows in war?" Zhao Huan asked rhetorically.

Liu Moyu was stunned, and he said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, this... this cart doesn't need horses, could it be pulled by human power?"

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Of course not. They have a man named Watt who will invent a machine in the future. This machine can generate power, and then transmit it to the wheels through gears, hinges, etc., and finally drive the wheels to rotate."

"Your Majesty, what... is this motivation?" Liu Moyu was confused.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Look at the boiling water, it can actually lift the lid of the pot. This kind of power is power."

"This kind of power is so small, how can it be possible to pull the car?" Liu Moyu expressed disbelief.

"Forget it, these things are not what you want to study. I just want to tell you that this world is huge. In the west, there are a group of people with blue eyes and white skin. They have always yearned for our rich east. And one day, he wants to conquer us." Zhao Huan paused, then continued: "It's like the story of the old king next door, if we don't take precautions, that story will happen to us."

Liu Moyu was straightforward and said: "Your Majesty, the general is willing to follow His Majesty and conquer those countries."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "I will give you this chance, of course I also believe that you have this ability, but..."

Zhao Huan paused, and then said: "The premise is that you have to protect yourself, don't cause so much trouble, and don't take such radical risks when fighting. Human nature is the most difficult to control. Do you think you are You have mastered human nature, but you have forgotten that this human nature is the most difficult to control, so why don't you risk your own life because of it."

Liu Moyu couldn't help but be moved when he heard the words. It turned out that Zhao Huan had said so much, but the most fundamental thing was his love for him. He originally thought that Zhao Huan called him here because he was going to scold him. Suddenly, he didn't expect that he didn't scold him. On the contrary, His Majesty the Emperor really cared about him.

Liu Moyu bowed deeply to Zhao Huan, and said: "The final general will follow His Majesty's instructions!"

Zhao Huan nodded, looked at Liu Moyu in front of him, and couldn't help asking curiously: "I have a question, I don't know if I should ask you?"
