Chapter 1144: A Scolding
Different cultures lead to different beliefs.
Western history is full of ignorance and barbarism, and much of the history is fabricated, including the story of Caesar the Great's 50,000 Macedonian phalanx crossing mountains and rivers to conquer India.
Is it possible?
Apart from anything else, the supplies themselves are simply not available.
The history was so exaggerated that it was rumored that Caesar was going to march to the East. However, after a horizontal comparison, it was found that it could not be made up anymore because the East had complete historical records.
So Caesar did not conquer the East during the Warring States Period, but instead conquered India.
In an ignorant world, killing everyone means conquering, but in a civilized world, people are full of wisdom.
Huang Chao was so good at killing, but in the end he was defeated and executed, right?
It takes wisdom to conquer the world in the East, because this is a land full of wisdom, and it breeds people who are full of wisdom.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
When the contradictions can no longer be concealed and suppressed, the dynasty will fall.
The same is true for Lei Zhen now. He can kill all those who oppose him, but this behavior will inevitably lead to a strong backlash.
Although he was not sure at what point the backlash would occur after doing this, he firmly believed that there would be one.
Because thousands of years of history have already clearly stated the answer: killing to the end will only lead to being trapped by killing and eventually collapse completely.
Let me put it this way, you can kill them when they are rising, but you can't kill them when they are ruling, unless you want to be a short-lived ghost.
"Chief Jiang, how are you?"
Lei Zhen called Old Man Jiang, thinking he could have a good talk with him.
No matter how hostile they are, there is still a negotiation process, and the relationship between them is very close. After all, they are the future father-in-law and son-in-law.
"Mr. Lei, why did you think of calling me?" asked the old man Jiang on the phone.
His tone was normal, just like he usually is.
No matter how you look at it, he suffered a crushing defeat this time. Not only did he lose the central area, but he also put himself in an extremely passive situation. He lost another one-third of the area under his control in an instant.
The original half of the country no longer exists, and has been divided and surrounded by Lei Zhen.
"I missed you, so I called to say hello." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "I wonder how you've been feeling lately? As your future son-in-law, I have to show some concern, otherwise Feixuan will blame me, hehe."
His face was full of smiles and his tone was full of smiles.
There was no mention of the fight between the two sides, which was enough to give a good introduction.
"Mr. Lei, you played this trick really well. I was fooled by you." Old man Jiang was very emotional.
"Haha, my mind was just jumping around a bit too much, and I wasn't good at paying attention to details, so there were a lot of omissions in the process. For example, I originally planned to trap you guys in the Public Opinion Bureau headquarters, but I ended up making a wrong move. I'm really ashamed of myself, hahaha..."
There is no one in the world who is shameless enough, but no one can be as shameless as Lei Zhen.
I clearly won this time, but I'm still feeling ashamed here. It's like I slept with someone else's wife and then told her that I wasn't very good and could only last five minutes.
He appears to be ashamed, but in reality he is extremely humiliated.
"As expected of you, the chief instructor of the special forces. You started your career in war. I can't compare to you."
"Dear father-in-law, your words are meaningless. This is all luck. Even if I have hundreds of thousands of troops outside, it is all coincidence. If I were to do it again, it would not be better than this, hahahaha..."
Lei Zhen laughed indifferently, waiting for Old Man Jiang to speak.
It’s not that he likes to talk nonsense, but this call was mostly exploratory. It was not only about saving Zhu Yuanhan, but also about making a series of tactical analysis and judgments from the other party’s words.
Because the war mode has not been lifted yet, it's just the beginning.
"Just say it directly if you have something to say. No need to beat around the bush." The old man Jiang on the phone said, "You're talking about Zhu Yuanhan, right? We can talk about it."
"Talk about your uncle, damn it!"
Lei Zhen suddenly started cursing, not giving the other person any face at all, even though this was his future father-in-law.
"That's the heir to the Zhu family I named, and you arrested him? Jiang, I've given you so many chances, don't you know how to cherish them?"
"I wiped out the Zhongyuan Sun family. You've been completely defeated. Now you still want to use Zhu Yuanhan to negotiate terms with me? You think he's very valuable, right? Well done!"
"First, you kill Zhu Yuanhan, and I kill Jiang Feixuan. Zhu Yuanhan is in your hands, and Jiang Feixuan is in mine. Let's trade one for one!"
Style, a unique and distinctive style.
He was laughing it off one second and turned hostile the next.
This style can give people a moody and intuitive feeling, and can especially cause psychological pressure.
"Second, release Zhu Yuanhan. I'll give you a month to make arrangements, and then we'll have the next round of competition."
"If I were you, I would choose the second one, because whether Zhu Yuanhan lives or dies doesn't affect me much, and I can still appoint the next Zhu family leader! Oh, and my son has changed his last name. Now he's called Zhu Cannian instead of Li Cannian. Do you think I won't appoint Zhu Cannian as the next family leader?"
"It would be more convenient for my son to be the patriarch and me to be the regent. What do you think? You're courting death, old bastard!"
The barrage of scolding and the two choices made Old Man Jiang furious.
He had never been scolded like this in his life, and he was still a young man, so he couldn't bear it even if he was very patient.
"Lei Zhen, the outcome of our battle is still uncertain, so don't be so arrogant! As the saying goes, arrogance will eventually lead to punishment. You'd better..."
"You old fool, you're absolutely right. There's always a day for the mad, but it won't be your turn! I'll give you five minutes to make a choice. Either trade one for one, or let Zhu Yuanhan go. I'll give you a month to regroup."
After saying this, Lei Zhen hung up the phone.
It's not negotiation at all, but pressure.
Whether Zhu Yuanhan was alive or dead really had no impact on him. The reason he wanted to save him was because he didn't want to disappoint the Zhu family.
If he can be rescued, the Zhu family will be even more devoted to him, and expressions of gratitude will be perfunctory.
It doesn’t matter if he can’t be rescued. It won’t affect the Zhu family’s goal. Instead, it will arouse more hatred from the Zhu family, and then the Jiang family will be even worse off.
For Lei Zhen, it was nothing more than sleeping with another woman from the Zhu family and then appointing her father as the next patriarch.
If the son were to sit in this position, the Zhu family would probably be happier, because the Zhu family would have no rivals in the next few decades - who the hell would dare to go against Zhu Cannian?
"Old thing, I can't even talk to you nicely, you have to keep yelling and cursing at me. You're a born bastard. I left a good path for you, but you wouldn't take it. Damn it!"
Lei Zhen felt good, and he felt good after scolding.
In fact, he really left a good way for the Jiang family, which was to stand in the east to check and balance the future rise of the Zhu family. This was the best outcome.
But if the other party doesn't appreciate it, then you can't blame him.
