The Prodigal Son of the Empire

A series of exclamations sounded.

"Master City Guard, you are not wrong, are you?"

"Yeah, this is not the time to joke around."

Wang Kang smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"But you just said in the central square that you want to defend the city, why are you abandoning the city again in a blink of an eye?"

"Yes, what will happen to the people in the city if you abandon the city? Could it be that what you said just now were all words to appease the people?"

"Are you deceiving them?"

There was a burst of discussion.

Zhang Kui said directly: "Master City Guard, are you really saying one thing to another? I knew you were a nobleman, so you definitely wouldn't stay here."

"If this is the case, even if I, Zhang Kui, are blind, you can leave as you want, and don't kill the city people!"

"shut up!"

Lin Zhen shouted immediately: "What are you talking about, listen to the city guard!"

Although he said so, he was still full of suspicion when he looked at Wang Kang.

Wang Kang raised his hand to suppress the chaos and said, "I know you have great doubts, but before that, I want to ask you a question..."

[Author's Digression]: The first update.

Chapter 595 People are fundamental!

ask a question?

Wang Kang's words made people puzzled, and he asked, "What do you think the city is?"

Lin Zhendao: "The city is where we live. There are walls to resist the enemy."

Meng Qian said: "A city is a city, it is the land under our feet, and it is the object of our defense."

"Yes, if there is no city, how can we defend the Vietnamese army!"

In a word, what is said is similar.

Wang Kang asked again: "Then you say, is the person or the city important?"

"It must be the city."

Zhang Kui said directly: "Without a city, there is no hope of defending it, so we must not abandon the city!"

"Never abandon the city!"

"Never abandon the city!"

"To shut up!"

Wang Kang yelled loudly, quite helplessly, communicating with this group of people was really too strenuous.

"I'm asking you now, don't talk about anything else."

"It should be equally important."

Meng Qian said, "People live in the city, and the city is guarded by the people."

Wang Kang nodded secretly and asked again: "What else?"

"The city is important. The city represents our country. As the saying goes, if the city is abandoned, what is the point of guarding the land?"

"Yes, the city is the symbol, it must be important."

Most people think that the city is important, of course, this is also an inherent thought.

Military strategists can only compete for one city and one land, and they attack the city and pull out the stronghold. When the war starts, what they are fighting for is the land and the city...

But Wang Kang said: "On this point, my understanding is different from yours. I think people are more important than cities."

"In the final analysis, you still want to abandon the city. What is abandoning the city? It means giving up resistance. This..."

Wang Kang raised his hand to signal an interruption, and then said in a deep voice: "You have been thinking outdated and conservative for a long time, but you have neglected one of the most critical issues, talent is fundamental!"

"Talent is fundamental?"

"That's right!"

Wang Kang continued: "The city is also built by people, and the core of it is people!"

"If you save land and lose people, you will lose all people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will lose all people and land!"

Undoubtedly, these words shocked people greatly, and many people were lost in thought.

If you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost, if you save people and lose land, everyone will survive...

The meaning of this sentence is very simple. If the land is preserved, but the people die, then everything is over.

The land is lost, but the people are still there, so nothing is lost.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Wang Kang also gave everyone time to think about it. Of course, this view is reasonable, regardless of who proposed it. He is standing on the shoulders of giants.

Lin Zhen asked suspiciously: "So what you mean by abandoning the city is simply to abandon the city, but the people of the city will not give up?"

"Correct!"

Wang Kang nodded and said: "The city and the people coexist in one place, but they are not really one, but two individuals!"

Only then did everyone understand what Wang Kang meant.

If the city cannot be defended, it will be abandoned.

But the citizens of the city still need to be protected.

Meng Qian paused and said, "Even so, the city has a tall wall, which can be defended by relying on it. If there is no city, wouldn't we be destroyed faster?"

"That's right, what happens after abandoning the city? We have given up our greatest advantage. If there is no city, how can we defend until now."

"Feng'an City is an important border town and one of the three defense lines on our border. If we give up, the Vietnamese army can go straight into Yanzhou. This has already violated the duty of guarding the border."

"Yes, even if we abandon the city and let everyone evacuate, it must be light and simple. Food, grass, and supplies must not be taken away. Wouldn't it be cheaper for the Vietnamese army?"
