And after Xi Zhicai fell into coma that day, he was so frightened that Chen Qun quickly ordered someone to report the news to Cao Cao. However, Xi Zhicai's mental strength was exhausted. Although his vitality was injured, he was still alive and woke up after lying down for a night. But at that time
Cao Cao's personal guard general Dian Wei has already rushed over with Cao Cao's letter.
"Evil, why are you here if you don't protect my lord?" Dian Wei appeared in front of Xi Zhicai not long after he woke up.
"My lord, please ask the military advisor to return to Chenliu." Dian Wei said angrily.
"Chen Liu doesn't need to reply. Let's tell you other news about my lord." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said. Based on his understanding of Cao Cao, Cao Cao must have known that he had a reason to go.
"My lord said that if the military advisor is not willing to go back, let me accompany you to protect him." Dian Wei scratched his head and said honestly.
Xi Zhicai sighed. He knew that in Cao Cao's eyes, he must be doing something very dangerous, and it must be for the foundation of the Cao family.
Cao Cao did not ask Xun Yu and the others why Xi Zhicai was here. He trusted Xi Zhicai very much. It was precisely because of his trust that he was unwilling to let any accidents happen to Xi Zhicai. But before they reached Mount Tai, Xi Zhicai's obvious
He was severely injured, which made Cao Cao unconsciously think that this trip was very dangerous.
[I am still too weak, otherwise there would be no need for Zhicai to be like this.] Cao Cao thought silently after seeing Chen Qun's letter, and then arranged for Dian Wei to protect Xi Zhicai. The strongest among his men was Dian Wei, and
He believed that there was no need for him to make any special arrangements. As long as Dian Wei left, his plans would be protected.
At this point, Dian Wei became the leader of the team, and Chen Qun was determined not to ride in the same carriage with Xi Zhicai after what happened last time, so the whole team became what it is now, but in Dian Wei's view, Xi Zhicai was still ill.
He was recovering, so he took special care of him and traveled too slowly. This made Xi Zhicai not see Sima Yi, who had tricked him half to death.
Xi Zhicai has obtained Sima Lang's talent. Although the official effect has not been confirmed online, it is already clear that Sima Lang is not the civil servant who tricked him half to death. So Xi Zhicai got on the carriage and had a drink with Sima Lang enthusiastically.
Sima Lang soon fell under the special flattery of Xi Zhicai, who was in a high position. Cao Cao was not bad either. After all, he was a hero who defeated Yuan Shu and occupied a state.
Chen Qun himself hoped that Sima Lang would join Cao Cao, so after Xi Zhicai sent out the invitation, Chen Qun worked hard to win over Sima Lang. After all, most of them were brothers with the same blood, and they encouraged him repeatedly.
Sima Lang should also go down and see Cao Cao.
In fact, Sima Lang himself likes Cao Cao the most. Compared with Liu Bei's somewhat pedantic personality, Cao Cao's do-everything approach is more suitable for him. Sometimes, even if certain behaviors cross the moral boundary, there is no need to worry about the monarch.
Taboo, after all, aristocratic families always have a dark side.
Sima Lang also talked about what he had seen and heard in Fenggao recently, and highlighted the morale of the military and the people under Liu Bei's rule, the elite soldiers under his command, the prosperity of Fenggao, and the large number of books in the library.
Xi Zhicai secretly frowned.
Maybe before coming to Mount Tai, Xi Zhicai felt that his side was almost the same as Liu Bei's side, but since entering Mount Tai, the difference that Xi Zhicai could clearly feel is that Taishan is much richer than under Cao Cao's rule, and the roads are much better.
It's much better. From time to time, a group of people will appear carrying tools and shouting to find the infrastructure construction team to do some work.
After entering Mount Tai, Xi Zhicai didn't see the situation in Yanzhou where children and daughters were sold from time to time every winter. In the winter in Mount Tai, if nothing else, it was easy to make ends meet. The infrastructure construction team was always recruiting people.
As long as you are willing to put in the effort, there will be no problem in eating enough.
As for what Sima Lang said later, Liu Bei was setting up education and planned to teach literacy to school-age children. This made Xi Zhicai couldn't help but be startled. He was born in a poor family and knew very well what this meant to the people at the bottom, but he quickly suppressed it.
Trembling in my heart, I watched Sima Lang silently and said, "Manpower is sometimes poor."
"Yes. That is a dream, a dream that cannot be realized at all." Sima Lang slowly closed his eyes and said, "But let alone the common people, even if we hear such an ambitious wish, we will have a sense of respect for Liu Xuande. Saint
No one has actually shouted this sentence in this era."
Chen Qun didn't say anything. He was also shocked by Liu Bei's ambition. People are not just grass and trees, but they can be ruthless. Chen Qun also had a similar dream. This similar feeling reminded Chen Qun of his original ideal, the most ordinary one.
His ideal is to feed everyone in the world, but it is the most difficult thing to achieve.
[After all, that guy is new to the world.] Chen Qun sighed when he thought of Chen Xi, whom he had never met before. He was also so naive back then. The world is not easy to change. He will mature after experiencing many things.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Thinking of their past selves, they couldn't help but sigh. Only after failure can you mature. Wasn't Cao Cao full of enthusiasm at the beginning? But in the end, he could only pick up the butcher knife and use it.
He has the strength to carve out a path that he thinks is right.
Historically, Liu Xuande was unyielding throughout his life and eventually laid a foundation for his career. However, it was obvious that with repeated failures, he gradually tempered his edge and became smoother.
At the beginning, he was able to force the governor to bribe him because he did not distinguish between good and bad. He would rather give up his official position and whip the governor than let him plunder the people. Later, he became able to accept Lu Bu, whom he hated. After borrowing Jingzhou, Liu Bei was able to
After finally controlling his emotions, he was completely emotionless after entering Sichuan. Until the bad news about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei once again became the reckless young man who whipped the postal supervisor.
However, no matter how he changed, Liu Bei never waved the butcher's knife at the people from beginning to end. Whether it was benevolence or hypocrisy, even when death was approaching, Liu Bei did not carry out a massacre as indulgently as Cao Cao and Sun Quan. He always adhered to his beliefs.
It's a pity that Liu Bei never had the power to instill his beliefs into the people of the world. In this life, the setbacks Liu Bei suffered were just drizzle for Liu Bei's indomitable character. It can be said that up to now, he is still the same as before.
Liu Xuande said whatever he said, scolded you if he didn't like it, beat you if you couldn't do it, and admitted when he was wrong.
This time the world did not teach Liu Bei tact. Instead, under the guidance of Chen Xi, Liu Bei had more lofty ideals and gave Liu Bei the strength to implement his beliefs.
He believed Chen Xi's words, "If you know it's right but you can't complete it, do you have to pretend you don't know anything and go in the wrong direction until you're farther and farther away from the original path?"
"No, even if there is no result, I will point out the direction! History always needs pioneers." Chen Xi asked himself and said, "And who knows whether something that has never been done before will be difficult or easy!" (To be continued)
