A knife in love

Chapter 2435
Li Qiufeng didn't expect Murong Danyan to say such a sentence, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Murong Danyan.I saw her eyes widened, with a little sadness in her eyes.Li Qiufeng thought about it for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Miss Murong, sometimes you have to make a choice for the sake of the overall situation, and this is something you have to do."

Although Li Qiufeng didn't say it clearly, Murong Danyan already knew what he wanted to say, his expression was a little gloomy, he nodded, and said in his mouth: "Sometimes thinking about it, people's life is really pitiful, it seems that they can never live for themselves Take my father as an example. His martial arts are extraordinary, and he respects both black and white. It stands to reason that he should live a very happy life. But I often see him sitting in the study, wrinkled Frowning, his expression is very ugly. I remember when I was young, he often took me for a walk outside Hangzhou. When I saw the people who were plowing the fields, my father often showed envy. Although he didn’t speak to me, I also knew He doesn't want to be the best swordsman in the world, he would rather be an ordinary farmer, maybe he will be much happier."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "I also asked Master, those heroes have done many good deeds, but they also killed many people, some of them shouldn't be killed, why do they still call them Hero. My master didn't answer, but just told me a story. He said that Cao Cao led the army to the south and wanted to wipe out Liu Bei and Sun Quan. At that time, Liu Bei was under the protection of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Cai Mao, who holds the power in Jingzhou, is very afraid of Liu Bei, and always wants to kill him. Cao Jun invaded the boundary of Jingzhou, Cai Mao insisted on surrendering, and Cao Cao took Jingzhou into his hands without any effort. Liu Bei had no choice but to take his men Hundreds of soldiers fled south.

"When Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou, Liu Biao asked him to garrison Xinye to resist Cao's army. Liu Bei was very kind to the people, and the people supported him very much. Hearing that Cao's army was brutal, Liu Bei fled south. These people, with their children, also followed him. Liu Bei fled together. Liu Bei's counselors advised him to abandon the people and run away alone, otherwise he would be dragged down by the people and could not walk a few miles a day. If Cao Jun chased him, he would inevitably perish. However, Liu Bei thought that the people fled with their families because of him. How could he betray the hearts of the people? Therefore, he did not listen to the counselors' persuasion, but took the people and fled south.

"Sure enough, the people dragged their children and daughters along, and brought their food and grass, as well as chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs with them. They could only walk six or seven miles a day. At this time, Cao Cao had led his army into Jingzhou, and I heard that Liu Bei had fled. , could not help being very frustrated. However, the counselor told him that Liu Bei brought tens of thousands of people with him, and he could only walk a few miles a day. As long as he sent elite soldiers to chase him, he would be able to capture and kill Liu Bei. Cao Cao was overjoyed and sent the most elite tigers and leopards The cavalry chased south, and finally caught up with Liu Bei at Changban, Dangyang. At that time, Liu Bei had less than a thousand soldiers, and only Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun could resist the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry. That night Cao's army slaughtered on Changban slope , Not only killed Liu Bei's soldiers, but also massacred the people like crazy and looted their property. In one night, tens of thousands of people who fled south with Liu Bei were almost killed."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "When I heard the master talk about this past, I hated Cao Jun for being so cruel. I thought that if I were in Changbanpo, I would fight Cao Jun to the death. My master asked I, if the people in Jingzhou hadn’t escaped with Liu Bei, they would probably have survived, but I ended up in such a miserable end because of a mistake. And if Liu Bei didn’t allow the people to go with him, not only would they not have suffered such a miserable defeat in Changbanpo, those who followed The people who fled with him would not die in vain. Right and wrong, what do you think?
"I didn't expect Master to ask me such a question, and I didn't know how to answer for a while. Seeing that I was speechless, Master immediately laughed, patted me on the shoulder and said, some things will come naturally when you grow up. I know. Suddenly, after more than ten years, I have experienced many things, and I finally understand that whether the people of Jingzhou want to flee with Liu Bei, or whether Liu Bei refuses to abandon the people and wants to flee with them, it’s not that they have no choice. Instead, I believe that there is always righteousness between heaven and earth. The people followed Liu Bei for righteousness, and Liu Bei would rather die than abandon the people for righteousness. Although he was defeated by Changbanpo in the end, and most of the people died under Cao Cao's sword, Liu Bei only saved himself. However, if Cao Jun bowed his knees and surrendered as soon as he arrived, what would be the difference from an animal being slaughtered? Liu Bei's fault was that he failed to make a choice first, and in the end all the people who followed him were killed. If he can distinguish the seriousness and send out Soldiers will lure the enemy, and the result may be much better.

"Ms. Murong asked me just now, in order not to leak the news, would I just watch Aunt Zhu and others being killed by Japanese pirates? Li can't do it without saving her hands. But because of this, our plan fell through and Japanese pirates invaded the Central Plains To overthrow Daming, I don’t know how many Han people will be killed. Is it important for Aunt Zhu and others, or the lives of the common people in the world? If you can kill one person to save the common people, Li will have no choice but to kill.”

At this point, Li Qiufeng sighed, and continued: "Fortunately, no one has been able to force Li to make this choice in these years. But for those generals who lead troops to fight, the choice is the most common thing. As the saying goes, a strong man cuts his wrists and sinks his boat. Sometimes in order to defeat the enemy, he sacrifices not one life, but the lives of thousands of people. Therefore, Li cannot be a general with eight seats, but can only be a prodigal son."

When Murong Danyan heard what Li Qiufeng said, the depression in his heart finally improved a lot.She smiled and said: "Mr. Qi is young and mature. Hearing what Xu Yingyang said, his family background must be extraordinary, and he is probably a descendant of a general. But I can't imagine him leading troops to fight and killing people like hemp. What does it look like?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Qi is not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in strategy. In time, he will surely become a famous general of the generation. It's just that the battle on the battlefield, the danger of the war, the heavy killing, as the saying goes, since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see their gray hair. I just hope When the Qi brothers make great achievements, they can also protect themselves wisely, so as not to be framed by others and end up like Yue Wumu."

When the two were talking, they could already see the wooden bridge tens of meters ahead.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he lowered his voice and said, "The front is a big ditch. There may be Japanese pirates hiding here, we have to be careful."

Murong Danyan nodded, and couldn't help reaching for his right hand to his waist, but he didn't expect it to be empty.It was only then that she remembered that she had left the long sword in the magistrate's yamen when she changed clothes to travel, and she felt a little uneasy.But she thought about it again, the killers of the Yagyu clan were almost wiped out, and the remaining soldiers and crabs would be nothing to worry about.What's more, Brother Li is walking with me, even if we don't have swords, we can protect ourselves with just fists and kicks.
