Three hundred and seventieth chapters east of Jie Shi
Qin Liang thought that Guan Qiu Jian should have something to say. He spared no time and patiently waited for this former enemy to hear what he had to say.
The coast was right in front of him, and the noise of the waves was enough to cover up their conversation, but Qin Liang didn't hear Guanqiu Jian say a word for a long time.
On the first day at the beach, you can smell the fishy smell in the sea water, but based on Qin Liang's experience, if you stay at the beach for a while, the fishy smell will disappear. The sound of the waves is also very interesting, the sound is actually It's big, but it doesn't make people feel irritated. It has traces to follow, and the sound of the tides is not messy, making people feel prepared; but it is not monotonous and repetitive. If you listen carefully, you can distinguish its changes.
It seems that Qin Liang's mood at this time is no longer anxious at all.
Qin Liang watched the sea for a while, and finally couldn't help turning his head to look at Guanqiu Jian. Guanqiu Jian was still silent, but there was already hatred and hatred in his eyes. His eyes were not cloudy at all, and the emotions displayed were very clear. .
Because just now, Guanqiu Jian seemed very calm and calm. The sudden change at this moment made Qin Liang slightly stunned.
Qin Liang soon accepted such hatred. It was as if people always thought that there was a good intention to break up and an honorable end. That was just because she was not the one who was dumped, nor was she the one who paid a lot of sunk costs and needed to savor the high price. The price is just a stranger.
Guanqiu Jian's look like this is understandable. But his calmness just now was just because there were many scholars and generals present?
Qin Liang then remembered that Guanqiu Jian was not only a general, but also a famous scholar. Even though he could no longer control his life, he still cared about reputation. The literati and generals of this era were integrated into the gentry and were not separated.
At this time, Qin Liang had a vague feeling that Guan Qiu Jian was a person who turned his back like a book.
Qin Liang didn't want to quarrel or scold Guanqiu Jian. Seeing this situation, he stopped waiting and asked directly: "At the end of last year, after Zhong Gong passed through Yecheng, he saw the person who went to Luoyang. Who was that person? ?”
Guanqiu Jian said coldly: "I haven't seen anyone."
Qin Liang frowned and looked at him, suddenly feeling that the conversation between them had lost sincerity. Qin Liang said: "You are deceiving me by claiming that your wife is about to give birth. Your wife is not pregnant at all."
As soon as he mentioned Guan Qiu Jian's wife, Xun came here and found Guan Qiu Jian on the beach, walking quickly towards this side. She was just a woman, and the soldiers did not stop her.
Xun called "husband" from afar. Guanqiu Jian turned around and said, "Why are you here?"
Qin Liang ignored Xun and continued: "Since Zhong Gong calls himself a loyal minister, why not make the matter clear so as not to involve His Majesty."
He first assumed that the emperor had nothing to do with the matter, which would give Guan Qiu Jian more motivation to defend himself. But as long as he wanted to explain, and if there were loopholes in the explanation, Qin Liang would be able to get some useful information.
Unexpectedly, Guanqiu Jian sneered and said: "Everything I have done, no matter whether it is successful or not, I have become a loyal minister in the history of history. And you are destined to be a traitor, or at most a traitor!"
Qin Liang paused for a moment. He had already discovered that it seemed that he couldn't get Guan Qiu Jian to tell the truth. Guan Qiu Jian was about to die, and a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Qin Liang really couldn't bring up the bargaining chips. He was so angry that he started to fight. People can no longer trade their lives.
The only way is to torture, but since the Guanqiu family has been an official for generations, this method is difficult to implement and may not necessarily work.
However, Qin Liang was not irritated by him. Instead, he smiled and said: "I take it as a compliment, but as an approval from my opponent." Traitors are also heroes. Guanqiu Jianruo thought that Qin Liang was incompetent and could not call a young man in his twenties a Traitor.
Mr. Xun walked up to him, bowed to Qin Liang and said, "General Qin."
Qin Liang nodded and walked along the seaside, letting the couple talk.
Only Rao Dashan is still nearby. Rao Dashan's face and eyes don't look very smart, but this kind of person actually makes people lower their guard and think that he doesn't understand. Rao Dashan was indeed illiterate before, but in recent years he seems to be Self-study, I can recognize some words.
On the coast, another wave climbed onto the beach and hit Qin Liang. The sea breeze on his face affected his breathing rhythm and also made Qin Liang feel a little depressed.
Sima Yi's face reappeared in his mind, the look on his face the last time he saw him. Then came Guan Qiu Jian just now. For a moment, Guan Qiu Jian felt vaguely proud, as if he was mocking Qin Liang. He was destined to do so in the future. Will have a bad reputation.
Qin Liang didn't want to argue with Guanqiu Jian, but he knew in his heart that he had defeated his opponents time and time again, but he had never convinced them.
He faced the sea, and after a while he finally exhaled a long breath, feeling that it didn't matter anymore.
Perhaps due to the popularity of individualism in later generations, Qin Liang's ideas were different from those of the ancients, and he did not pay too much attention to those posthumous names that sealed the coffin. The most important thing is to continue to live! Rather than after failures like Sima Yi and Guanqiu Jian , faced with a helpless situation where the family is broken and everyone is dead.
Thinking of this, Qin Liang felt much relieved.
At this time, he found some rocks on the seaside not far away, and suddenly he remembered that Cao Cao, the great ancestor of the Wei Dynasty, recited the famous "Eastern Jieshi" on the seaside. It seemed that it was also written in Youzhou after winning the battlefield.
However, Cao Cao's east facing Jieshi was definitely not in this place, but rather in Liaodong, which also belonged to the boundary of Youzhou. And this place was at the entrance of Qinghe River, and Qin Liang estimated that it was probably not far from Tianjin.
The poem by Cao Cao, Taizu of the Wei Dynasty, was ambitious. It was not limited to the conquest itself, but also included grand images such as the sun, moon, stars, and Han Dynasty.
Qin Liang looked at the boundless sea for a long time. Among the rich sounds of the waves, he seemed to hear the sound of fighting and the sound of metal hitting on the battlefield again. But those sounds also gradually faded away.
Suddenly, Qin Liang seemed to have an emotion in his chest that needed to be expressed in some way.
For example, reciting a poem like Cao Mengde's. But Qin Liang did not recite a poem, nor did he have an impassioned expression. After a while, he remembered a famous saying, and then stared at the sea and said slowly: "The sea brings new things to everyone. Hope, like sleep, brings dreams.”
At this time, Qin Liang noticed someone behind him. He turned around and saw that Xun had already walked over.
Xun looked into Qin Liang's eyes with a strange expression and stood there for a moment.
A woman like Xun who comes from a famous family must be literate and knowledgeable than ordinary people. She can understand complex scriptures, so she can naturally understand the literal meaning of the sentence recited by Qin Liang. But she must not be able to guess, What on earth was Qin Liang thinking? After all, some things were beyond the scope of ancient people's knowledge.
"My husband came here because he wanted to go to Soochow to the sea?" Xun's voice said.
When Qin Liang heard this, he immediately understood that Xun understood the literal meaning of that famous saying.
Although Guanqiu Jian talked about being loyal and treacherous, the desire to survive is human instinct. Even when he lost everything, he was obviously looking for a way out and a way out. People have to look at what he did. From this point of view, he How much braver and fearless is he than Qin Liang?
"Yes." Qin Liang thought and responded casually, then glanced at Mrs. Xun and said, "That should be it."
Xun said: "I see that General Qin is also a man of knowledge and etiquette. I hope General Qin will not humiliate my husband."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "I won't do that if it's not necessary."
After all, both of us are in high positions, so the way we do things still needs to be different from when we were broke, and we have to be a little more particular.
The Xun family in front of him was Guanqiu Jian's official wife, and Qin Liang did not humiliate her. Fu Gu, Du Yu and others were closely related to the Xun family in Yingchuan, and Qin Liang knew it in his heart, but this kind of thing was unnecessary It's too fussy. The people under Cao Cao's command back then had many relationships with Yuan Shao.
Xun finally came to his senses and bowed to Qin Liang again.
Qin Liang glanced at the sea, then turned and left. At this moment, he suddenly thought that Xun Yu might be loyal to the Han Dynasty at the expense of his own life; and Guan Qiu Jian was still talking about loyalty and traitor just now.
So Qin Liang couldn't help but stop and said to Xun: "The Han officials in those days also called Wei Taizu a traitor."
Mr. Xun suddenly looked surprised and was speechless.
Qin Liang ignored Mrs. Xun and took a few steps forward, then turned to look at Guanqiu Jian, who was standing on the beach with his arms tied behind his back and his head held high.
There are still some things that you can talk to Guanqiu Jian about, such as what Princess Jinxiang hinted about, about the life experience of the current emperor Cao Fang. But Guanqiu Jian hates Qin Liang and has no intention of having a sincere conversation, so what else is there to talk about?
At this time, Qin Liang was still a guard general with a heavy hand, but Guan Qiu Jian had become a defeated general. Qin Liang came to meet him in person and talked to him face to face, which was regarded as giving him face and attention. Since Guan Qiu Jian was unwilling to continue Talk, Qin Liang doesn't need to force it anymore.
Qin Liang then left the coast directly, greeted his subordinates, and escorted Guanqiu Jian back to Zhuoxian County.
