After Fusu finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"I still have something I don't understand, and I hope my father can enlighten me."
Fusu mustered up the courage to look at Ying Zheng and asked.
"Speak." Ying Zheng nodded.
"This is the first time I've truly seen a battlefield. I've seen many dead bodies. Some soldiers never returned after leaving. I don't understand. Is this what war is?"
It was not the first time that Fusu knew about the cruelty of war, but it was the first time he saw it.
In the past, he only heard about how many people had died in which country, but to him, these were just numbers.
But when he saw those soldiers in the past few months, he knew that they were not just numbers, but people who had been talking to him the day before.
After Fusu finished speaking, Ying Zheng was silent for a moment.
Lord Zhao knew that it was normal for Fusu to have such thoughts as a child.
She was also very curious about how Ying Zheng would answer.
"War has always been cruel. Either you kill others or they kill you. I know you are kind, but in this era, human life is worthless. Only by winning can we protect the majority of people."
As Ying Zheng said this, Zhao Jun stroked his forehead.
Although she knew what Ying Zheng meant, she did not teach her son that way.
Fusu's expression was complicated and confused. He couldn't understand what his father meant by human life being worthless.
"That's right, Fusu."
Zhao Jun suddenly spoke. In such a peaceful and warm atmosphere, she didn't mind chatting with Fusu.
Fusu and Ying Zheng both turned to look at her.
"You said you saw many dead bodies. This is indeed the cruelty of war. You may not be able to understand it, but you sympathize with those who died because you have a rare kind and considerate heart."
"But kindness alone is not enough. You must learn to be decisive. You see the soldiers dying in the war, but if the war doesn't proceed quickly, many oppressed people will die, those people are in places you can't see."
"I know you feel pity for the dead, but that's precisely why we need to end the war quickly and violently. If we don't spend too much time fighting the enemy, fewer people will die. As long as we maintain an overwhelming victory, casualties will be minimal."
"War is inevitable in this era. Many people have died in the past few decades. But if we can quickly end this war and subdue the other princes, then wouldn't it be time to rest and recuperate?"
The King of Zhao spoke for a long time, and she didn't know whether Fusu understood it or not.
But these were her true feelings.
