Chapter 246 The ending of the story may already be doomed
General Yuan was shocked by this sentence and his mind was agitated.
He mistakenly thought that his identity as one of the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army was exposed. However, he had experienced many things and could barely stabilize his heart and did not directly scream out. However, the little Taoist priest in his teens, sipped
She pursed her lips and made a sullen face, but the graceful woman still saw the clues.
The latter just looked at him with a smile.
The idea of teasing the little guy who has not yet grown up came up in his mind.
Yuan said in a muffled voice: "You have recognized the wrong person."
The woman chuckled lightly, stretched out her finger and touched Yuan's heart, saying, "You're right."
She asked again: "How was it? Do you regret it?"
The young Taoist asked: "What do you regret?"
The woman smiled and said: "There are many. For example, you can also resent that God is too harsh on you for giving you such a body; you can also resent that you came to this era instead of when the Han Dynasty was the strongest.
Regret your past."
There was a pause in her voice, which made Yuan almost think that this graceful woman was referring to the displacement of the Yellow Turban, and then the woman slowly said: "For example, it may be that you have done certain things in the past."
"That's why your life is so miserable."
"If so, isn't it worth regretting?"
The sickly young Taoist said calmly:
"The past and present life are nothing but illusions, but I don't believe them."
"As for why this era..."
He thought of the past, where there were smiling young Taoists, old men who taught him how to grow wheat, Liu Niu who carried him around on his shoulders, and his expression softened. The young Taoist's eyes were clear, and his voice was soft as he replied: "God has never been kind to me.
To me, it’s not harsh at all.”
"I think even if you tell me that I have made certain choices in the past."
"Then you won't regret it, right?"
The graceful woman looked at him in surprise, then smiled and nodded.
The young Taoist has a warm heart.
He no longer worried and feared, nodded to the woman, and lifted the medicine basket.
Then turn around and leave down the mountain.
When going down the mountain, the woman behind seemed to appreciate it, but also seemed to be a little unconvinced. She suddenly smiled and said: "You won't regret it now, but you may not regret it in the future."
"Little Taoist priest, we will meet again in a few years."
"When the time comes, I'll ask you this question again."
……………………
After Yuan Yiqi went down the mountain, he looked back and couldn't see the mountain or the woman. He breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, the other party's scrutiny always brought him a huge pressure, as if he had seen him before.
Live the same.
And it's very likely that there will be some festivals.
Yuan didn't pay attention and returned to his home.
For several years after that, he lived in Langya, and the woman never appeared again. Yuan did not teach the child magic, but only taught him the basic training methods of Taiping Tao, such as exercising and nourishing Qi. There is also a saying called Nine Breaths to Conquer Qi.
, Yuan himself felt like there was a hole in his heart, and he couldn't hold his breath.
But that child seemed to be a born Taoist.
It’s not just about practicing a thousand miles a day.
Born in the Zhuge family, he had to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and all kinds of classics.
If you are someone else, you will only choose one to practice intensively, and you can only understand the others generally.
But Zhuge Liang showed unimaginable talents in all these aspects.
The peaceful life in Langya ended when Zhuge Liang was eight years old. That year, his father passed away, and his eldest brother Zhuge Jin was fifteen years old and needed to support his stepmother. Zhuge Liang had to take his younger brother and two
Sister, I went to Yuzhang with my uncle Zhuge Xuan.
It turned out that Yuan came here with distant relatives of the Zhuge family.
But the usually quiet and sensible child cried and made a fuss that day.
His arms are holding Yuan, like a koala, refusing to leave.
Helplessly, there was another young Taoist in the convoy heading from Langya to Yuzhang.
That year, Yuan was eighteen years old.
He looks increasingly sickly and frail.
In Yuzhang, Yuan was able to teach the child closely. On the first day he learned to play the guqin, the eleven-year-old boy held a guqin that was bigger than himself and sat seriously at the table where the Taoist was making medicine.
, while playing the piano, he sang:
"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, who plays the harp and sheng."
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the expression on the man's face was still calm.
The little boy rolled his eyes, played the piano and sang:
"The kite flies to the violent sky, and the fish leaps into the abyss; how can a gentleman, a younger brother, not be a human being?"
This means that kites soar in the sky, and fish will leap in the deep pools of water. If you are a gentleman, why don't you teach the next generation well? But in this sentence, the meaning is neither big nor small.
"The gentleman who enlightens his disciples" made even the Taoist who was always indifferent due to his illness frown.
The medicine spoon in his hand tapped the proud young man's head.
The eleven-year-old Zhuge Liang smiled and said:
"I see that you are bored here looking outside. I will play the piano for you."
This year, Yuan is twenty-one years old, and the child has grown into a young man, with light in his eyebrows. For young men of this age, the world belongs to them, they are always bright and confident, let alone a person like Zhuge Liang? Naturally, he
If you have enough confidence, no matter your family background, appearance, or talents, you are blameless.
This must be a great celebrity that will be hard to come by in the coming years.
Everyone thinks so.
In the young boy's tender voice and the sound of the piano, the Taoist leaning on the chair gently turned the pages of the book. There was no incense like those among celebrities, but the simple aroma of herbs and ink was lighter and far away. Sometimes it almost felt like time was going so slow.
Walk down slowly.
The breeze and the bright moon, the music of the piano and the articles, are the romance of young people.
But times will always turn in directions no one can imagine.
Only one year passed, in the fourth year of Chuping, Zhuge Xuan was replaced by Zhu Hao.
With the Zhuge family's financial status, it was natural for them to go north and return to Langya.
But this year, something else happened.
Cao Song, the father of Cao Mengde, went to Langya to avoid trouble.
Then he went to Xuzhou and was killed by the soldiers of Tao Qian, the Mu of Xuzhou at that time. This incident reached the ears of Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao had become famous all over the world. In grief, he was furious and commanded his army to attack Xuzhou.
The road from Yuzhang back to Langya was cut off by Cao Cao's march route.
Zhuge Xuan had not expected this at all.
He ran straight into the chaos of the war, and no one expected that Cao Mengde, who had first made his mark by killing Dong Zhuo with great righteousness, would be extremely ruthless this time because Tao Qian was locked down and could not leave the city, and because his father had abandoned his official position but was arrested again.
Cao Mengde was so angry that he finally chose to massacre the city.
Cholu, Juling and Xiaqiu were all slaughtered.
He angrily allowed his soldiers to plunder ordinary people.
The final history records that hundreds of thousands of men and women were killed, no chickens or dogs were left, the Surabaya River was blocked, and too many people were killed. No one dared to support Tao Qian at this time, and no one was willing to use his family wealth and
He would risk his life to fight against Cao Mengde at this time.
What's more, if you really want to earn Tao Qian's favor.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until Xuzhou is almost finished?
It is even possible to directly separate the territory and take control of Xuzhou.
The calculations in the minds of counselors and monarchs were too far away, even farther away than what the young Taoist once thought at a loss, whether they were separated by a wall, and Cao Mengde's army even let the corpses be thrown everywhere, completely ignoring the consequences.
Come the outbreak of plague.
The tragic scenes he had seen and the fear of the plague caused the people of this generation to flee in all directions, and too many rioters spawned rebels and bandits. Zhuge Xuan made a quick decision, seeing that there was no way to return.
Langya immediately went down to Jingzhou to avoid the disaster.
They covered their belongings and mingled with the refugees, but how fast could they walk with their feet?
Finally, we met the bandits.
I don't even know whether these are robbers or Cao Mengde's troops who are plundering at will.
Zhuge Liang was at a loss.
The peerless genius, the young man who knows everything, the child with only the breeze and the bright moon on his shoulders, finally faced this tragic scene, and only then did he realize that when the world is unstable, the breeze is full of blood, and the bright moon reflects it
Yes, they are piles of bones on the roadside, and they are women and children who have been stripped of their clothes.
The original world collapsed in an instant.
Some thieves saw something wrong with the temperament of the Zhuge family.
They came around and tried to steal property.
Zhuge Xuan was born in Langya and still had a Han Confucian temperament, but he had women and children behind him.
He took out the belongings, but at this time, the thieves saw the two girls who deliberately touched the ashes. They were Zhuge Liang's two sisters. Even if they were deliberately pretending to be ugly, it was still difficult to conceal their scholarly qualities. Those two
Use your hands and feet.
There were too many soldiers surrounding him, and Zhuge Xuan was furious but unable to resist.
Sudden,
The man who had tied up the two girls with his hands and feet and left stiffened.
A bamboo pole penetrated directly through their necks.
The smell of blood was fierce and rich.
Zhuge Liang saw that the Taoist who was weak and silent retracted the bamboo pole in his hand. The Taoist who had a plain face pursed his lips. For some reason, he had a tragic aura as if he had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Uncle Niu, I still remember...
Penetrate all the power of God.
The Taoist whispered in his heart.
He held the bamboo pole tightly in his hand. What happened here led to a conflict between the people and the rebels. Yuan Yi took the young boy next to him and ran forward while taking advantage of the chaos. The bamboo pole in his hand was like a spear, and the white finger joints were bulging.
, but firmly grasped the spear, pushed away the enemies in front, and ran forward.
It happened to rain heavily at this time.
The sound of horse hooves, roaring, and the sound of cutting blades.
Screaming sounds, laughing sounds.
The rising dust almost dyed the whole world into a drowsy look. Zhuge Liang staggered forward, and a general ran towards Yuan, slashing down heavily with the knife in his hand. Yuan tried to stop him with a bamboo pole, but was directly hit by him.
It was smashed into pieces, and his body could no longer hold it up. He vomited out blood, gritted his teeth, spread out his arms, held the young man in his arms, and used his back to block the knife.
Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and his heart was full of unwillingness.
And at this moment, it seemed like time had stopped.
The brilliant light of the sword, like a long dragon rising into the sky, directly cut open the general of the rebel army under Cao Mengde's command. The latter fell to the sky without any response. Accompanied by the sound of the sword, a tall man held the long sword at an angle,
Stepping towards the rebel army.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier.
An army passed through the rain and then overwhelmingly defeated the larger rebel army.
Everyone was stunned. In front of them, they once again saw the flaming red shirt belonging to the big man. They saw a heroic man wearing armor and holding two swords. They saw a man with a long beard hanging down and an imposing figure.
I saw the brave men with spears on their shoulders, and behind them, the army of silent and determined men.
No more than a thousand years old, it stands as motionless as Mount Tai despite being blown by the wind and rain.
Yuan's pupils contracted.
Recognized the familiar man.
But the latter failed to recognize the young Taoist priest and just moved out of the way.
The people passed.
The rebel army was defeated.
Then, the man holding two swords will step forward again, heading towards Xuzhou.
There are many heroes in the world, and all heroes stand together.
But those who are brave enough to travel thousands of miles are willing to use thousands of soldiers and horses to stop Cao Mengde and massacre those who came before him.
Just one person.
Dahan, Liu Xuande.
This year is the fourth year of Chuping.
Zhuge Liang was twelve years old, still a young boy with some baby fat on his face.
On the shoulders are the breeze and the bright moon, orioles and willow leaves.
And Liu Xuande is thirty-two years old.
He has long since lived up to his youth.
Still as young as his ambitions.
However, Cao Mengde's momentum was unparalleled in the world. He attacked Tao Qian, defeated Pengcheng and Fuyang, slaughtered them all in Lulu, Juling, and Xiaqiu. He killed hundreds of thousands of men and women, leaving no chickens or dogs left, and the Si River did not flow, so it was five years ago.
The county town was secured and no trace of the enemy was recovered, but Liu Xuande led thousands of men and horses to aid Tao Qian.
What passed before the young man's eyes were the last heroes or heroes of this era.
They haven't been able to see each other or talk to each other this year.
Liu Xuande didn't know who he had saved.
In this troubled world, the heroes flying past each other are intertwined, chasing their dreams and lives, and will eventually reunite in the future, briefly illuminating the gloom.
The ending of the story may have been determined as early as the beginning.
The surrounding sounds are noisy.
Angry people volunteered to join this army.
The sickly Taoist pulled the absent-minded young man down.
He left side by side with the heroic general.
"A Liang, stop looking and go!"
PS: Today's second update... In terms of historical details, the general direction is correct, but Liu Bei probably didn't meet Zhuge, so he made a slight mistake. Liu Bei and Tian Kai were together at the time. However, based on experience, he still thinks about the original relationship.
The child is shocked.
"Three Kingdoms: Biography of the First Lord": At that time, the First Lord had more than a thousand soldiers and Youzhou Wuwan mixed barbarian cavalry, and he also lost thousands of hungry people.
"Book of the Later Han·Biography of Liu Yu Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian": In the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao attacked Qian and defeated Fu Yang in Pengcheng. Qian retreated to protect Tan, but Cao could not defeat it, so he returned.
, slaughtered them all. Hundreds of thousands of men and women were killed, and no chickens or dogs were left. The Surabaya River did not flow, and it was the protection of the five counties, and there was no trace of it again.
"Three Kingdoms": At that time, Cao Gong calmly said to the late master: Today's heroes are only envoys and cao'er. There are only a few disciples from the beginning. This sentence was not coined by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
