Chapter 433: World Chapter: The Xuanyong Army Rising to Resistance (9)
There is no right or wrong in this world, there are only different standpoints.
It's a disgusting sentence, but it's also the most realistic one. At the same time, it's also the best interpretation of Shang Yang, the little soldier.
The process from shouting the order to fight to standing out from the crowd actually took less than 10 seconds, but for Shang Yang, these 10 seconds seemed as long as a lifetime.
Indeed, Wang Yao's words were very convincing, and many rumors seemed to have confirmed that the Glory Federation was indeed fighting for peace.
But then?
Is it true that the Jixia Academy, which they worshipped as a god, was actually the symbol of evil?
Has the Xuanyong Empire, which they are so proud of, always been aiding and abetting the evil?
Are the comrades, relatives, brothers and sisters who died in battle around you just a bunch of idiots who were fooled?
Are all their efforts and contributions wrong and not correct? !
So, what do they exist for?
Do not! !
Shang Yang was absolutely unwilling to admit it!!
This was the only thought Shang Yang had after listening to Wang Yao’s self-introduction and position.
At least for Shang Yang, from the beginning to the end, there was no need to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of what Wang Yao said! Because from his point of view, the only choice he could make was to [not believe]!
Therefore, Shang Yang chose to be the first to stand up! Although his behavior was controversial in the eyes of his comrades behind him at this moment.
"Shang, Shang Yang?"
"I think he's right."
"You, don't you think so too? All signs show that Jixia Academy has indeed treated us as abandoned pawns!"
"Why should we continue to fight them?"
Facing all the doubts from his allies, Shang Yang suddenly turned around and shouted at the Xuanyong Army with a face twisted to an almost hideous state: "Just because the enemy says so, it's true?! When did we, the dignified Xuanyong Army, need to be judged by a mere outsider?!"
Under the horrified gaze of the Xuanyong Army, Shang Yang loudly refuted and overturned Wang Yao's previous remarks with an absolutely unquestionable attitude.
"The deadline for the day hasn't even arrived yet. How dare you be so sure that Lord Meng Tian and his men will definitely not bring any reinforcements?! Just because someone says so, does that mean it is true? Where's the evidence? Who can guarantee that he is not lying? His purpose is just to make us give up resistance so that they can occupy our high ground faster?! Is it enough to prove a person's innocence by saying "I guarantee it with my integrity"?!"
Everyone was stunned. Shang Yang's series of fierce questions were like an overwhelming tidal wave, which actually made the Xuanyong army feel like they were suffocating!
at the same time--
It also made Wang Yao's eyes gradually turn cold.
From a deeper perspective of human nature, Wang Yao was extremely far-sighted, because long before he tried to persuade the Xuanyong soldiers, he had already roughly guessed that such a situation would arise.
Standing determines right and wrong.
The best example is Shang Yang at this moment.
People with extremely strong wills are often the most stubborn and self-centered. Such people will never choose to believe Wang Yao no matter what, because once they choose to believe, they are denying their own position, their own beliefs, and everything they have done. This is more painful than killing themselves!
This is not about right or wrong, true or false, but about belief, stance and self-esteem!
Therefore, Wang Yao was not surprised by Shang Yang's action, and he could also foresee what Shang Yang would say next.
really--
Facing the speechless Xuanyong Army, Shang Yang turned back and sneered at Wang Yao:
"I have collected your information, Wang Yao, the former commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Shu army and the current supreme spokesperson of the Glory Federation! You keep saying that you want to bring peace to the world, but don't think I don't know that your beloved was killed by the great sages of Jixia Academy in the highlands of Shu! Such a deep hatred gives me every reason to believe that the driving force behind your actions is not some bullshit righteousness, but a deep hatred for Jixia! Your so-called peacemaking is just a beautiful shell decorated to achieve your own revenge! ”
As soon as the words fell, all the Xuanyong soldiers were in an uproar!
"Is there such a thing?!"
"what is going on?"
"Does this person just want to use us?!"
For a moment, the atmosphere, which had just been slightly relaxed, suddenly became tense again, just like the subtle waves swaying before the high tide!
As the person being questioned, Wang Yao did not give too much explanation. He just stared at Shang Yang in silence for a few seconds and then replied calmly.
"Two different things, but both can be done well." This is a very capable answer.
But in the end, Wang Yao just didn't bother to explain anything. Just like Shang Yang said, he was not going to explain his behavior to a soldier, and no one could ask him to explain.
Why explain? Who do I need to explain to?
However, Wang Yao's indifferent reply, in the eyes of the Xuanyong Army at this moment, was equivalent to confirming Shang Yang's most malicious doubts.
So soon, those Xuanyong soldiers who had originally thought of a ceasefire, suddenly clenched their weapons with murderous intent, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!
Facing Wang Yao's "frank confession", Shang Yang snorted coldly, and then asked the Xuanyong Army: "Everyone, are you still willing to believe in such an enemy? A person who has long been blinded by hatred, who keeps saying that he is doing it for the world, but is actually only driven by his own selfish desires. Who would believe such a person if he said that he would not invade our homes and massacre our comrades afterwards?!"
In a sense, Shang Yang was indeed a rare general. Under such a disadvantageous situation, he was able to successfully ignite the fighting spirit of the soldiers again by his own strength.
"real."
"That's right!"
"We were almost fooled again!"
"Thanks to Shang Yang!"
What is called war is the art of deception.
Perhaps, the saddest thing for the soldiers from both Xuanyong and the Federation present was that it was meaningless to make peace on this battlefield, because there was a problem that could never be solved, which was; what could you do to make the enemy believe that what you said was true?
The answer is; No!
Standpoint determines right and wrong, while suspicion makes people never trust each other!
This is the saddest thing about human beings.
So, in the end, Wang Yao, who didn't want to waste any more time, finally spoke coldly: "Are you the new commander who led the Xuanyong Army to resist our army?"
Shang Yang puffed out his chest and nodded: "Yes, I am not as respected as you, my Excellency. I am just a small soldier, Shang Yang!"
"Shang Yang."
Wang Yao paused and read the enemy's name softly.
At that moment, with Wang Yao as the center, the temperature of the air began to slowly drop to zero!
Wang Yao looked like a devil chewing and savoring a piece of fresh flesh and blood, wanting to deeply imprint the taste of blood in his heart. With the chill rising and falling, he spoke again slowly the next second:
"Do you know what you are doing right now? You are—
Dragged hundreds of thousands of your comrades into the purgatory of war!"
Suddenly, the situation changed suddenly!!
“?!!!” At this moment, Shang Yang’s hair stood on end and cold sweat ran down his face!
Because in his eyes, he vaguely saw endless violent aura emanating from Wang Yao's entire body, spreading between heaven and earth like a ghost or evil spirit!
Afterwards——
"I only give you two choices! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. The Federation will not kill those who surrender. This is the first choice. Second, if you continue to resist, when the high ground falls, no one will be spared!"
This is Wang Yao’s last patience and also his final ultimatum.
only--
"Then I'll give you two choices!!"
Unexpectedly, Shang Yang roared and turned the tables on Wang Yao.
"You can either withdraw your troops immediately. If you still insist on forcibly taking our high ground, then this person will be the first to sacrifice his life for our army!"
