Squeezing Old Yu's shoulder vigorously, the interest in him in Alexander's eyes obviously increased a lot.

"This is not a truth that ordinary people can conclude. You said that you have taught others. From this point of view, Lao Yu, you are really a wise scholar."

"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it. It's just picking up the wisdom of the predecessors. I can't say that myself. I'm just a supermarket owner, not as great as you say."

Old Yu waved his hands again and again, habitually posing in a humble posture.It's just that people like Alexander won't let people deny his own statement casually.He still insisted on his own opinion, and also gave his own reasons.

"Is this the usual humility of the Orientals? I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. It's really hard to understand. Wouldn't this hinder you from expressing your revenge, ideals and ambitions?" Ambition and ideals are like blunt horses, you have to spur it and correct it with words, so that it can gallop on the battlefield and make great achievements, isn’t it?”

"I can understand what you said. This is also the nature of you Westerners. But we in the East still feel that facts speak louder than words. Saying it thousands of times is not as real as doing it under your hands. As for ambition and ambition, we in the East are in your hands. There was a story about such a king about 200 years ago in that era."

"It's about a monarch named King Zhuang of Chu. When he came to the throne, the country was in turmoil and there were many contradictions. The powerful officials inside rebelled, and the enemy countries surrounded him outside. He was on the throne for three years and didn't say a word on state affairs. All day long He is sensual and sensual, like a fatuous monarch. But three years later, he made a sudden move, reused loyal and brave ministers, strangled the domestic traitors, and attacked the invading enemy country. He also developed the economy and enriched the national strength. become the well-deserved overlord among the Eastern nations."

"Oh, this king is very interesting." Also as a monarch, Alexander subconsciously compared himself with the King of Chu Zhuang that Old Yu was talking about. "Could it be that he is born with a vision of knowing people and is so intelligent that no one can match him? I really can't imagine that a monarch who is addicted to wine and sex and doesn't care about political affairs, even if he cheers up, what will happen?" There are no trivial matters in a country that can achieve such a level. It often requires the guidance of wise people and gradually accumulates experience to become familiar with it. And like the king in your story, even if he is born smart, can he still Are you born with this kind of experience?”

"Someone asked this king a word. It was a courtier of the king. He was very worried about this situation, so one day he heard that the king was drinking and eating meat again, listening to songs and watching dances. He bumped into him face to face. I questioned the king. He said, I heard that there is a bird in the country that lives above your palace for three years. bird."

Having said that, Lao Yu coughed twice.It's not only a secret, but also an opportunity to get rid of Alexander's hand holding his shoulder.

Regardless of Alexander's appearance in his thirties, he is only old enough to be a son to Old Yu.But the physiques of the two are really not on the same level.Alexander was known as a brave king, and he could even kill a lion single-handedly.This is reflected in his physique. He is a strong man with a height of nearly two meters, with big arms and round waist, and a strong back.Menacing eyes like a tiger coupled with a beard like a lion's mane are simply the truest portrayal of the word macho.

In comparison, although Old Yu is not too short for his age, he is not too tall either.In the early years, I suffered from eye diseases from writing all the year round, and my glasses were as thick as the bottom of a bottle.Later, I opened a supermarket here in Egypt, and I lived a comfortable life, and even grew a big beer belly.This kind of person is referred to as the middle-aged and elderly greasy uncle.As far as combat effectiveness is concerned, Alexander estimated that he was older than this, and twenty of them would not be able to breathe.

So after being slapped so many times by Alexander, he really felt like he was about to be slapped apart in his bones.And he, who is not easy to tell the truth on the bright side, can only use this opportunity to escape from his clutches.Of course, his story still has to go on.

"The king heard his courtiers asking him this, but he said something like this. He said, this bird is not an ordinary bird. He didn't fly for three years, just to soar into the sky. And it didn't fly for three years. Ming, it is for a blockbuster. This is the phoenix, the king of all birds."

"I think I understand what you mean, Mr. Old Yu." Adding Mr. after the title of Old Yu showed that Alexander was already impressed by his knowledge.This is not embarrassing for a king, because no one has stipulated that the king must be the kind of existence that surpasses everyone in knowledge.

A real king does not need the best knowledge or the most extraordinary bravery, what he needs is the broadest mind.To be able to accommodate all beings better than him, and to have the consciousness and courage to use them for them, this is the quality that a king should have.

Alexander is undoubtedly the kind of true king. He was able to start from a small city-state in a remote area of ​​Greece like Macedonia to conquer almost half of the world, not just by virtue of bravery.He is inclusive of all rivers, and trying to integrate all beautiful and powerful things into his own system is the real key to his becoming a king.

It was the same at this time, he obviously heard something from Lao Yu's story that benefited him a lot.And this also made him even more excited to pat Lao Yu on the shoulder, like a lecherous man seeing a beauty, and said to him with bright eyes.

"The image of this king indulging in wine and sex for three years is just his appearance on purpose. In fact, he has already made sufficient preparations secretly, waiting for a perfect time to take everything into his own hands. This is roughly the same as what you said before, attacking the unprepared and being unawares. But it needs to be more forbearing and ambitious."

"Old Mr. Yu, I am indeed right. You are really a wise scholar. It is not something that ordinary knowledgeable people can do to be able to read such a philosophical story. In short, be my arm Come on, old Mr. Yu, think about your wisdom can become the cornerstone of our conquering the world, isn't such an achievement enough to make you feel excited?"

"No, I..." Lao Yu really wanted to say something straightforward, I am not the person you think, I am not as capable as you said, don't talk nonsense, but Alexander never gave him such words Chance, instead, by patting the gap between his shoulders, he squeezed his shoulders firmly, and said to him in a tone that I don't want you to think, I only want me to think.

"Old Mr. Yu. I don't understand why you always have the idea of ​​rejection, but I can guess that you have never had the opportunity to show all you have learned in your life. And this is exactly what I think the saddest thing."

"Why did we come into this world? Is it just to be here? No, in my opinion, we came to this world to do something, whether it is the right thing or the wrong thing. It is always We must leave a little trace, leave something to prove that we have been here, we have not wasted this bright, short, beautiful and regrettable life."

"Just like me. Old Mr. Yu, if you have studied my life, you will find that my life is actually not long. A short period of 33 years should be a golden age for human beings. It is the time when a good man can make great achievements. However, the illness took my life at that time, and I fell on my journey before I even had a glimpse of the end of the world. What a pity But if you ask me if I have regretted my life like this, I can tell you in the most resolute and loudest voice a person can make, I am under great pressure, the king of Macedonia, the Persian population Iskandar the Great, the Conqueror of the World, I have never and will never regret that my life has been spent in such military and conquest."

"How many people can be like me, a conqueror of thousands of miles of land, how many people can be worshiped by men, women, old people and children like me. I established my own country and left my own name, Let my name be known by the entire human race until tens of thousands of years later. What a wonderful life, even if there are so few regrets, I will never make me have the slightest regret. Even if it is to do it again, even if It is said that I knew in advance that I would die of illness in that foreign country, and I would not hesitate to ride my steed, take my loyal soldiers, and head there. But what about you?"

"Old Mr. Yu, can you live your life without regrets like mine? Can you proudly declare to the world that I have been here before?"

"I don't know what kind of life you were like before you were alive, but I think that as long as you are a man, you will have the opportunity to sing your name forever. Many people will never get this opportunity in their entire lives. But now, I, Alexander the Great, have put this opportunity in front of you. Old Mr. Yu, God has given you a second chance, so that you are lucky enough to come before me and make another choice. And you How would you choose?"

"I spent these three months in obscurity, like all ordinary men, never leaving my name until my death, until all your relatives and friends have forgotten you, and then completely disappeared in this world It seems that you have never been in this world at all. Or, you want to engrave your name on history like me, so that everyone who reads history can see your existence just by turning the pages of the book. Even if you say After your life and soul are gone, it will be remembered by the world forever."

"I"

This time, the man who called himself Old Yu and thought he was just a salted fish, his fake heart was beating restlessly.

Ambition, which had never germinated in him, but never lost from him, began to grow wildly in his heart like a weed moistened by rain.

He is a mediocre man who has been enduring and withdrawing all his life.In the early years, I wanted to be a good teacher, but because of various accidents, I had to choose to give up.He broke his fortune and fled abroad, and he didn't mean to escape at all.And what is the result of this, it is probably just forgotten, as Alexander said, as if it has never been here at all.And he asked himself, is this really what he wants?

The answer, of course, is no, any person who lives again will have such an idea.Naturally, he was no exception, so at this time, he finally let out a long sigh, and then knelt down on one knee facing Alexander.

"Thank you for your perseverance, my lord. Maybe it's just like what you said, I really don't want to spend the last three months in obscurity until I die. Therefore, since you are willing to believe in me and think that I have the ability to help you fulfill your regrets, then I will do my best and die until I let the world surrender at your feet so that the world will remember that I, Yu Qian, once Been here”11

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Yu Qing, what do you think we should do next?"

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as receiving Yu Qian's allegiance, and at the same time, he also knows that the names of oriental people are surnames first and last names.Alexander naturally began to question the subconscious in a more intimate way.This can be regarded as some kind of examination, after all, talking about the truth and making suggestions are not the same thing.

Yu Qian could also see that there was an intention to test his depth, and almost without thinking, he said this directly to Alexander.

"It is said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. This old oriental saying means that if you want to do a good job, you must have the tools at your fingertips. And put it here, if your majesty wants to continue to achieve something For Albert, I think the first thing to do is to arm our soldiers with the best weapons."

"What?" Hearing this, Stress Shanda's eyes froze immediately, and then he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. "Aren't the daggers and spears of my soldiers sharp enough for you? Isn't their armor strong enough?"

As soon as Alexander finished speaking, the warriors who were resurrected with him and belonged to the Macedonian Empire had already drawn out their daggers, knocked on their own shields, and shouted loudly.

The sound shook the four fields.There is no doubt about it.After all, tens of thousands of people fought at the same time. As far as the scene is concerned, it is absolutely shocking.In the same era, there were very few armies with such a level, which is why Egypt surrendered to Alexander without firing an arrow.They are very clear about their own level. They are not even the opponent of the Persian Empire, how could they defeat such an elite division.It's better to be happy, just surrender.

Although Lao Yu was also shocked by the elite soldiers under Alexander's command, he was only shocked.If you say you are astonished, you feel that this is the only thing you have seen in your life.That's just kidding.

Among other things, before going abroad, the military parade every few years is no worse than the performance of these Macedonian soldiers.And you must know that there are millions of elite soldiers behind it. From this point of view, these performances of the Macedonians cannot scare his old man.

"Your Majesty, I teach history. I know that around Macedonia, the original Italian tribes were once regarded as barbarians by your Greek city-states. In addition to inherent prejudices, there are indeed some reasons for this. There are indeed some tribes that still maintain the original nomadic and tribal system. Then, my lord, can you see such a tribal warrior that you regard as barbaric, their equipment and the combat capabilities they can display? Do you want to compare it with the soldiers under your command?"

"Those barbarians in the Italian peninsula? It's not difficult." Wise men have the habit of keeping secrets, and Alexander was already familiar with this.So although the old man who suddenly changed lanes was a little caught off guard, he was not completely unexpected.It can be regarded as respecting the knowledge of wise men, Alexander often pushes the boat along the way, and it is the same this time.

"When I was young, I saw the war between my father and those barbarians. They often wore animal skins and used wooden spears and stone weapons. Although some people had bronze weapons in their hands, but They are often plundered or traded. They themselves do not have the technology to smelt metals. Therefore, they cannot compare with the Macedonian soldiers under my command."

"The soldiers under my command are equipped with copper helmets, armor and greaves as standard. Two-piece spears, round shields and short swords are all made of metal. If you are one-on-one, relying on the equipment Advantages, the warriors under my command can easily kill one barbarian and fight against two or three barbarians. If we want to fight in an array, three hundred soldiers under my command are enough to defeat two thousand barbarians!"

This kind of battle loss ratio of almost one against ten may sound exaggerated in other places, but it is indeed the case here in Alexander.The crushing brought about by metallurgical technology is against the Qin crossbow that has just appeared in the east or the large-scale chariot impact, otherwise he is truly invincible in the same era.One against ten is really trivial.During the war against Persia, he suffered [-] to [-] battle losses.

Of course, Lao Yu asked such a question because he knew how powerful the Macedonian soldiers were at that time, and he naturally had an intention to ask such a question.

"In your opinion, under such a gap, is the individual bravery of soldiers more important, or the gap in equipment is more important?"

"Of course." Alexander subconsciously wanted to answer bravery. After all, in his time, this was a common understanding. The Greeks admired sports and often sang heroic allusions. If someone can make great achievements in this area, they often subconsciously know I thought it was the result of bravery or wisdom.And few people would think whether this has anything to do with the weapons and equipment regarded as tools.

Alexander also fell into such a vicious circle.However, as a wise king, he has an extra heart.He didn't give an answer right away because he went over the question in his mind again.But after considering it so carefully, he couldn't be so sure that the answer he thought was correct.

In terms of bravery, the Macedonians are certainly not bad.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to conquer half of the world since his father's generation.But to say that the natives of Italy are worse than their Macedonians, this is somewhat unconscionable.

Unlike Greek Macedonia, which once regarded Macedonia as barbaric, was at the edge of the Greek world, Egypt with a long history, and Persia and India, which were not much different, the natives of the Italian peninsula were really barbarians at that time.The living resources basically rely on nomadic and hunting, and they don't even have the ability to build city-states. The cities they build are not so much cities as soil enclosures, which simply mix wood and soil together to make a shape.

In terms of civilization, he is definitely the most discriminated against on the fringes of the Greek world.But because of this, Alexander did not dare to say that their bravery was not as good as that of the Macedonians.

The most direct change brought about by civilization is the change of human living environment.In a sufficiently civilized country, there will be a large number of artists and scholars, and production activities will change from dangerous hunting and nomadic farming to stable farming and planting.This kind of change is good on the whole, but on the individual, the general physical fitness of people will decline.

Randomly pull a Greek farmer and an Italian native herdsman, and the herdsman must be stronger.Because he has to herd horses and deal with wolves and wild animals.In the same way, although the Macedonian soldiers are brave, the indigenous warriors who have struggled in difficult environments all year round and have to fight against wild beasts physically will not be inferior in their bravery.

Even said to be stronger.Because there are weak people among Macedonian soldiers, as long as they are within the allowed range.But barbarian fighters don't have too weak people, because the harsh environment will directly eliminate these so-called weak people.
