Chapter 234: With the wing tail attached, it can travel thousands of miles——
——The lingering sound lingers in my ears.
Not only Liu Ye, Guan Lin's words shocked everyone in the prison.
Those civil and military officials who came after hearing the news were destined to be small people, ordinary civil servants.
Those low-level warriors who are destined to remain silent in the dust of this era.
All of them had red eyes and hoarse throats.
There is even a hint of "sobbing"!
as if…
Guan Lin's words awakened the biggest throb in the hearts of "ordinary people" like them...
It ignited the faith they were already practicing and made them raise their heads and see determination and hope again!
It’s not just these people…
In later generations, Shu Han had the largest number of supporters and the most moved people.
why is that?
Isn't it because the Shu Han's growth and tragedy are just like ordinary people like us?
Doesn’t Liu Bei’s life experience deserve sympathy just like us ordinary people?
Weaving mats and selling shoes in the beginning is the starting point for us ordinary people.
I experienced countless setbacks and hardships along the way and always relied on others.
Isn't this the life of us ordinary people? Like Liu Bei, we are oppressed by capital and tortured by life.
House prices, commodity prices, and education have made it difficult for us.
We live extremely "hard" lives...
We are forced to do things we “don’t want to do”, and are forced to be ruthlessly squeezed by bosses one after another!
Is this not as good as Liu Bei's, but another kind of living under someone else's roof?
Liu Bei was defeated and defeated repeatedly, and how could we ordinary people not be the same?
We are always struggling between lying down and forging ahead.
We talk about lying down, but the pressure of life does not allow us to lie down at all. We are still determined, like Liu Bei, and keep moving forward towards our set goals.
The most glorious moment of Liu Bei's life was when he was qualified to compete with Cao Cao on the Hanzhong battlefield!
But in the end, he still could not realize his lifelong ideal - to revive the Han Dynasty and return the old capital!
So, in the end, with a lifetime of regrets, Baidi Tuogu... left the scene with regrets.
How could the life of ordinary people not be like this?
After thirty, forty, or fifty years of hard work, we may finally get an opportunity, an opportunity to compete on the same stage as the "proud ones of heaven" and those who are born with everything.
Liu Bei was from a declining clan, but Cao Cao was born into a family of great eunuchs!
Ordinary people are born as mules and horses, but some people are born in Rome!
The resources of Liu Bei and Cao Cao are not at the same level.
Compared with the social resources of ordinary people compared with those born in Rome...I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to use the metaphor of "one to ten".
Ordinary people's decades of hard work may not be as good as those born in Rome...
And ordinary people struggle and persevere throughout their lives, become more courageous and persevering through setbacks throughout their lives... Isn't it just to one day be able to cross the class and "meet as expected" and "compete on the same stage" with those "born in Rome"?
Perhaps, they are facing the same starting line and a fair opportunity.
But for this so-called fair "opportunity", the efforts made by both parties are incomparable!
Liu Bei failed in history!
But he has achieved the best that an ordinary person can do.
He may have done "at any cost" in order to win, he has done "at the moment", he has created his own personality, he has been hypocritical, he has been shady...
But his purpose was to "avoid harm" and to bet his whole life for a chance to "fight" with Cao Cao!
His experience coincides with the lives of us ordinary people!
We will all resonate, we will cheer for his highlights, and we will also empathize with his loneliness...
This is the charm of Liu Bei.
This is the reason why Shu Han is the most romantic.
This is the reason why Shu Han's "Bei" is highly praised!
…
…
After they dispersed, Guan Lin recited this "long speech".
Zhuge Ke gave Liao Hua and the others a timely wink.
The next time should be left to Guan Lin and Liu Ye... It is time for this pair of future "master and servant" to make the final decision.
Under the persuasion of Liao Hua, Mi Yang, Mi Lu, Shi Wu and others...
People in prison left one after another.
They walked heavily and looked unusually determined.
Waiting to get out of jail...
Facing the torches outside the prison, it can be clearly seen that everyone, including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Liang, has tears in their eyes.
It felt like being moved, but also like an indescribable, unknown feeling... My nose was a little sore, and there was a "buzzing" in my head, as if Guan Lin's words were echoing.
And...it's inspiring and refreshing!
Zhang Fei was the first to wake up from this state. He directly changed the topic to a less sad place, "I can't believe that Cao Cao has done so many unscrupulous things. I would have known that he was such a treacherous person."
What a great evil. When the eighteen princes attacked Dong, I should have stabbed a thousand transparent holes in his body and let this damn Cao thief slaughter so many people over the years!"
Don't blame Zhang Fei for being angry.
Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty lived for three years, which was the last census of the Han Dynasty. The population of the country totaled 16.68 million households and 56.49 million people.
In the Three Kingdoms, when Wei destroyed Shu in 263, the population of Shu was 280,000 households and 940,000 people;
Wei State had 660,000 households and 4.43 million people;
When the Wu Kingdom fell (280 years), there were 530,000 households and 2.3 million registered residences;
Considering that there were a large number of hidden households during the Three Kingdoms period, scholars have roughly estimated that the real population after the Three Kingdoms period was 14 million!
In other words, in the land of China, 42 million people disappeared in one hundred years, seven out of six.
This is the real Three Kingdoms. It is not just about the rise of heroes, the emergence of heroes in large numbers, and the loyalty and courage recorded in history... but the dangers of banditry, starvation and chaos;
Not only was Cao Cao's heroic spirit when he was drinking and singing, "Singing to wine, life is like dew in the morning, there will be many hardships in the past", but also "The bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, and the people are living in hundreds of lives."
The desolation is everywhere.
It can be said that what caused the massive disappearance of the population was plague and war.
These are inevitable in this era.
But... there is one thing that can be avoided.
——Massacre the city!
It is no exaggeration to say that the Huaxia is brilliant and the Three Kingdoms are brilliant.
Forty million people disappeared in one hundred years!
As the number one butcher in the Three Kingdoms, "Prime Minister Cao" is bound to write his own "rich and colorful" story!
For comparison, in both "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", the only prince who is not recorded as having massacred a city is Liu Bei!
What he did was "precious"!
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand.
The people who slaughtered the city were ordinary people. Liu Bei was an ordinary person. Would he kill himself?
"What a 'white bones are exposed in the wild, there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles', what a 'slaughter the city and kill millions of civilians'..." When he chanted this sentence, Guan Yu couldn't help clenching his hands.
He regretted it a little...
I regret that at the end of Yunmengze and the last section of Huarong Road, I let Cao Cao live!
At this moment, Guan Yu realized how shallow Hua Rongdao was?
He gained a reputation for "remembering old friendships" and "explaining Cao Cao with justice"!
But the bones of these millions of civilians, these innocent people who were forced to be involved in the war, as Yun Qi said, are their lives not their lives?
At this moment, Guan Yu realized that the "righteousness" in his heart was only a small "righteousness" at best.
Guan Yu is not worthy of the true "righteousness" of all people!
Even if it weren't for Yun Qi's "enlightenment" tonight.
He Guan Yu also boasts of being righteous!
hehe…
High righteousness, boast of high righteousness!
For the first time, Guan Yu felt that his face was swollen so much that he felt like he didn't even want his face.
In such a cold atmosphere.
Ma Liang spoke with emotion at the right time: "Guan Gong, the three generals, of course, Cao Cao's evil deeds are shocking, but I am even more surprised that Cao Cao's evil deeds... Yun Qi actually knows about it!"
Having said this, Ma Liang paused and opened his mouth again, this time much more solemnly than before.
"Guan Gong, the three generals... have you ever discovered that what would happen if Cai Yunqi's words were listed together and spread, spreading throughout Jingzhou, throughout Bashu, to the Central Plains, and to the north... What would happen?"
this…
When Zhang Fei knocked on his forehead, his brain circuit slowed down a little.
Guan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, "If word spreads, it will shake the thirteen states of the world. People in Jingzhou and Bashu will have the same hatred for the Cao thief. It will also cause turmoil in the Central Plains and the North! Who is willing to kill someone Where’s the demon potency?”
"Yes!" Ma Liang said with emotion: "Yun Qi's words are shocking and touching in our ears. But if it spreads to the north and makes Cao Cao's crimes obvious to the world, it will undoubtedly... If one hundred thousand soldiers could use Liu Ye's mouth to spread the emperor's wishes and send out a "Complaint against Thieves", then the power of this message would be far greater than the one sent by Chen Lin in the past!"
"And in this letter, the shocking figures of the massacre of the city...are the things that Cao Cao cannot clean no matter how hard he washes them! It is a sharp blade that can directly penetrate into the central lifeline of Cao Wei and also into the heart of Cao Cao !”
Following Ma Liang's words, Guan Yu squinted his eyes, and he mused: "No wonder... Yun Qi just mentioned to Liu Ye, 'Lend your hand, and fight with him.' So what a 'Lend your hand, and fight with him.'" Fight'!"
this…
As the words of Guan Yu and Ma Liang came out, Zhang Fei was a little unable to react. He knocked on his forehead and thought.
In the end, I simply didn’t think about it anymore and immediately spread my hands and said with emotion.
——"Second brother is right, I think so too!"
…
…
The night was low, the stars were dotted, and the deserted streets of Jiangling were desolate. Because of the darkness, the path outside the carriage was blurry and difficult to distinguish.
It can be heard faintly.
Someone in the carriage said: "One thing is left behind for all the people, but the thought of it is heartbreaking - haha, it is really ironic that the Duke of Zhou spits out food and the world returns to its heart!"
This was chanted by Lu Su.
Zhuge Jin quickly asked: "Does the Governor also think that Thief Cao is too cruel?"
"Alas..." Lu Su did not answer, but with a faint sigh, he seemed to have already uttered the answer.
Zhuge Jin nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you think Liu Ye will surrender?"
Lu Su also pondered slightly, and then chanted: "Yes!"
Although his tone was soft, you could see from his expression how firm he was when he chanted the word.
"Why?" Zhuge Jin asked back, "When Cao Cao was serving as Sikong, Liu Ye served as Sikongcang Cao Yu, a close minister around Cao Cao. When he attacked Zhang Lu, Liu Ye was appointed as the commander of the army, and later as the marching commander, Shi, and concurrently.
Leading the army, wouldn't he know about Cao Cao's evil deeds over the years? If he surrenders just because of these...then his faith will collapse too easily, right?"
"That's not it…"
Lu Su shook his head lightly.
Zhuge Jin continued, "Is that the remaining strength and dignity of the Han Dynasty? Liu Ye... is just a descendant of the declining Han Dynasty after all. Yun Qi's words are inspiring, but in my opinion, they may inspire Jingzhou's civil and military forces, but for Liu Ye
Ye, after all, he punched the cotton, how could Liu Ye care about the legacy and dignity of the Han Dynasty?"
"Not this either."
Lu Su shook his head again.
"Are they ordinary people? The charm of Duke Xuande, and the ordinary people around him?" Zhuge Jin then asked. "It's okay to hear these words, but they are too illusory, aren't they?"
"No." Lu Su denied it three times, and finally spoke, "Tzuyu, the reason why I am sure that Liu Ye will surrender, and I surrender with all my heart, is not because of anything else, but because of hope. Hope is the most illusory and the most hopeless.
It is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it can serve as a navigational mast and ignite the fire in people's hearts."
"I haven't felt that before, but after hearing what Yun Qi said, I just felt enlightened. Not only did Liu Ye see the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty, but I, Lu Su... also... seemed to have seen it too!"
Ah…hope?
Zhuge Jin still couldn't understand.
He could understand every word Lu Su said, but when they were put together, he was a little confused. He didn't even know what this so-called hope was.
"What the Governor means is that Yun Qi's words gave Liu Ye hope?"
"No!" Lu Su replied: "It's not Yun Qi's words, it's Yun Qi's words!"
"He not only made Liu Ye see hope, but also made all people in Jingzhou and Bashu see hope! He made people all over the world who have Han in their hearts see hope. He Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, he is hope!"
Speaking of which…
Lu Su said with deep emotion: "If I were Liu Ye, I would surrender heartily just because of Yun Qi, and then follow Yun Qi to pursue dreams and light!"
this…
Zhuge Jin was slightly startled, he could feel it.
It was as if the eyes of the Governor of Soochow in front of him had light at this moment!
…
…
Liu Ye has been taken to a side room in the thief Cao's house.
This place is much cleaner than the prison just now, but Liu Ye is the only one in the spacious room, which makes it seem a bit deserted.
Liu Ye sat sadly on the bed, his hands and feet still wearing iron chains, looking haggard and listless.
Guan Lin pushed open the door and entered, holding the chain key in his hand.
"The yamen officer just brought the key, shall I untie the rope for Mr. Liu?"
Guan Lin looked at Liu Ye sitting on the bed and smiled. As he spoke, he had already walked closer to Liu Ye.
"I advise you, Master, not to let it go." Liu Ye said with emotion: "When I was twenty years old, the world was in chaos. Most of the powerful people in Yangzhou were unwilling to restrain the strong and help the weak, and they were all cunning and cruel. They gathered their troops and occupied the hills.
Among them were Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Qian and others. At that time, Cao Cao sent an envoy to see me. To show my determination, I raised my knife and cut off Zheng Bao's head at the banquet! When I killed Zheng Bao,
The distance between me and him is like the distance between me and the Young Master today."
Liu Ye originally wanted to scare Guan Lin.
But Guan Lin was not afraid at all. He still bowed slightly and used the key to unlock the iron chains on Liu Ye's hands and feet.
One side said: "Mr. Liu was talking about when he was twenty, why didn't he talk about what it was like when he was seven or thirteen?"
"When you were seven years old, Mr. Liu's mother told you before she died that your father's servant had the tendency to accuse others falsely. She was worried that there would be trouble after death, so that you and your brother could get rid of this person when you grew up! When you were thirteen years old, according to your mother's
I killed my father's favorite waiter and became famous! If this is true, when Mr. Liu killed the waiter, he must have been closer than you and I are now..."
At this point, the iron chain has been completely untied.
Guan Lin continued, "But Mr. Liu didn't mention this. I would boldly guess that this is fake, right? Just like...'Kong Rong gave the pear', 'Lying on the ice to ask for the carp', this world does not make up some jokes, but
You really have no way to become famous? If you didn't have this "late mother's last words" and "filial piety to the world", how could Mr. Liu let people see your courage and be rated as a talented person by Yuedan? "
Guan Lin's words made Liu Ye slightly startled.
But soon, "Hahahaha..." he laughed, "Is it Guan Lin Guan Yun Banner? You are so young, but you know everything! No matter it is the Central Plains or the North, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
"Excellent award——"
"Yun Qi, Yun Qi..." Liu Ye, who had untied the iron rope, grabbed Guan Lin's hand and suddenly exerted force on his hand. "Tonight you are talking about Cao Cao's crimes and the remaining heroes of the Han family.
and dignity, and finally said those words of ordinary people’s endeavors. Do you think that just by relying on these, I, Liu Ye, can surrender with all my heart?”
Well…
Liu Ye's words made Guan Lin startled.
This is unexpected…
Guan Lin originally thought that his infectious words, hope and faith were enough.
But now...
"Haha..." Liu Ye held Guan Lin's hand, but his face suddenly changed color and sneered, "I have been a close official of Cao Cao for so many years, don't I, Liu Ye, know about Cao Cao's crimes? You told him to massacre the city ten times? But
Didn't you know that when Huarong Road encountered muddy conditions, impassable roads, and strong winds, Cao Cao forced the weak soldiers to jump into those pits and then filled them with grass, so that the cavalry could step through them! And these 'bad guys'
The soldiers were eventually caught in the mud by men and horses, and nine out of ten died! I'm afraid their souls are still wandering in Yunmengze!"
"Did you know that Cao Cao had a severe character and sent his subordinates to handle official duties and were often punished with sticks? He Kui, a native of Yangxia in Chen County, always carried poison on his body as a subordinate of Cao Cao and was determined to die rather than be insulted! How did you know that Cao Cao
The school affairs office is set up to supervise hundreds of officials. Every year, the school affairs office kills thousands of officials! As the saying goes - relying on favors to dominate, profiteering, the government and the opposition are afraid, no one dares to speak out!"
"Did you know that under the farming system set up by Cao Cao, once you set up a farm, you no longer have personal freedom. The people in the farm did not have enough to eat, so they fled and rebelled...it happened from time to time! Did you know that once Cao Cao's soldiers fled, they would not be able to survive.
Wife, Cao Cao's troubles will not stop, and his punishment will be even more severe.' Do you know that after capturing Ye City, Cao Cao paid homage to Yuan Shao here, and 'went to worship Shao's tomb and burst into tears', but over there he insulted and killed Yuan Shao's family.
Did you know that 'Yuan's women often see aggression!'
Every sentence is shocking.
It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Lin felt that he had revealed enough dirty information about Cao Cao.
Can…
In Liu Ye's mouth, the dark side of Cao Cao seemed to be like a river, flowing continuously and endlessly.
Guan Lin's face couldn't help but twitch, and he sighed in his heart:
——"If you were asked to write "The Biography of Cao Man" and spread it out... I'm afraid Cao Cao's mentality would collapse!"
Of course, Guan Lin understood a different meaning from Liu Ye's words, "It seems...Mr. Liu knows Cao Cao's cruelty better than I do. It's because I was careless!"
Liu Ye laughed "haha", and waited until he finished laughing before nodding, "Young Master Yunqi has a mouth of sophistry. Let me put it bluntly, no matter what you are talking about is the cruelty of Cao Cao, the cruelty of the Han Dynasty
The remaining strength and dignity of the people, as well as the efforts of ordinary people... I can tell you more about these, and I can tell you about them for three days and three nights, but these are not enough to make me, Liu Ye, surrender!"
Suddenly, Guan Lin felt a little embarrassed.
This was the first time that he had a feeling of "being seen through" from the bottom of his heart...
He is indeed a person who was praised by Yuedan as a "talented person";
He is worthy of being a figure in Cao Ying who is famous for his "extraordinary courage", "seeing through false alliances", and "knowing things like a god";
It is even more worthy of being a figure who predicted in history that Liu Bei would launch the Battle of Yiling, and also predicted that Sun Quan would pretend to surrender and "strategise".
But Guan Lin underestimated him.
It seems that the appeal of the words alone is not enough to convince this "talent of the world", it is too hasty!
For a moment, the scene fell into embarrassment, but at this awkward moment.
Liu Ye let go of Guan Lin's hand, then stood up holding on to the bed.
First, he raises his hands and forehead like a salute, bending down with all his strength.
bow!
Then he straightens up and touches the ground with both knees at the same time, slowly kneels down, and with a "click" sound, puts his forehead on the palm of his hand, which is called - worship.
Guan Lin felt that this scene was so familiar...
Isn't this what Zhang Zhongjing used when he "recognized his master"?
First it’s “bow”, then it’s “worship”, and finally it’s “xing”…
Sure enough, it didn't go beyond Guan Lin's expectation.
After the "obeisance" ceremony, Liu Ye straightened his upper body and raised his hands to the level of his eyebrows, and the final "xing" ceremony was also performed.
this…
Such a reversal left Guan Lin stunned, shocked and confused. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
——"Didn't Liu Ye say that these words...were not enough to make him surrender?"
——"Am I not being smart?"
"Young Master Yunqi." After Liu Ye performed this grand ceremony, his eyes were suddenly red, "I, Liu Ye, have never been a righteous man, nor have I ever been one of those people who turned the world around, turned the tide, revived the Han Dynasty, and saved the common people in the world.
I have long seen through the world, and it is extremely difficult to survive in this troubled world! I don’t value fame, fortune, or wealth at all... My goal in life is to live a decent life and be able to live a decent life.
Live among the winners."
"For this reason, the only person I pursue and be loyal to in my life is the final winner... Only the final winner can allow me to survive in this troubled world... I no longer have to worry every night. In the past, although Cao Cao
Brutal and cruel, but I am sure he will win in the end because I believe in my eyesight. Only those who are ruthless enough can survive in this troubled world!"
"I don't think that Mr. Xuande's benevolence and kindness are bad, but the fact is that it is too difficult to be a good person in this troubled world, and to be a good person and survive, you need to be more familiar with great evil and poison than the evil one!
But today's Jingzhou, today's Xuande Gong is different. His benevolence and righteousness have an extra 'butcher's knife', a butcher's knife pointed at Cao Cao, making him tremble... And in my opinion, this
The butcher's knife is yours, Guan Yunqi!"
"A person living in Jingxiang can master all of Cao Cao's evil deeds. This is a testament to your Guan Yunqi's methods. It also shows that you are in the territory of Cao Wei and under the supervision of the school affairs office. You can still have eyes everywhere. This
The methods... are shocking, this is something I have never thought of before;"
"In the past, I heard that Huang Laoxie used a little trick to let the soul of the tiger and leopard knight return to Sunset Valley, let Cao Ren faint, let Cao Chun die, let Wenpin die in Fuhu Mountain, and let Man Chong die.
Buried in Guanjiazhai, Jiangxia has a different owner... and Jingzhou's impregnable situation collapses and shatters overnight!"
"At that time, I was still wondering, who is this Huang Laoxie? But... today I can see that Master Yunqi can master Cao Cao's evil deeds and even all the secrets of Cao Wei. Master Yunqi's eyes, Yunqi
The methods of Mr. Qi are superior to those of Cao Wei's school affairs office. How can such a... person not lay out the plans in Jingzhou? Hahahaha, I can see it. Huang Laoxie is Mr. Yunqi, right? That one
You are the one who has been toying with the whole of Jingzhou and the whole of Cao Wei with a pair of invisible hands, right? Mr. Yunqi! Or rather - Huang Laoxie!"
"Yun Qi, Yun Qi, because of your ordnance, Cao Cao's absolute advantage in facing Xuande Gong is gone. Because of your strategies, Cao Wei is now in a difficult situation...I, Liu Ye, have always boasted that I have extraordinary vision. In the past thirty years,
, apart from Xun Lingjun’s eyesight, I pride myself on being the second best person in the world at understanding people. With what Young Master Yun Qi said tonight, how could I not see how ferocious, ruthless, harsh and decisive his methods were! I
How can I not see that with your help, Mr. Xuande is no longer like a fish in water? He is like a flying dragon in the sky. The current situation is different in terms of offensive and defensive momentum!"
"I, Liu Ye, surrender to you with all my heart today. Master Yunqi, you have surprised me, and all I ask for is to be attached to your tail! As the saying goes - attached to the tail of a wing, you can travel thousands of miles! As long as it is attached to your tail,
To be able to survive in this troubled world, to live more decently, and to be able to enjoy step by step the feeling of final victory following you, my life, Liu Ye, is enough!"
Speaking of this, Liu Ye cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Birds follow the phoenix and soar far away, and people follow the virtuous and the good. I, Liu Ye, surrender, surrender to Duke Xuande, surrender to Guan Yunchang, and surrender to you, Lord Yunqi! From now on
From now on, if Young Master Yunqi is assigned a mission, he will ride on horseback and follow him to the end!"
Nice words——
Like waves, one after another, turbulent and surging!
At this moment, Guan Lin was in a particularly agitated mood...
After a while, he nodded solemnly.
"good--"
After a trill, Guan Lin spoke solemnly.
"——I want Mr. Liu, I can get it from Nanyang, I can get it from Xiangfan, I can get it from Wanluo!"
