Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 365 The clown is actually me!
——"The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!"

The line uttered by Xu's mother is Cao Cao's poem, lamenting that there are corpses everywhere in troubled times, and there are few people living in a hundred miles.

If you follow the scene when Cao Cao recited this sentence in history.

That was after the Xuzhou massacre, 30 Xuzhou people shed blood into rivers...

How could he still recite these two sentences in such a calm and breezy manner!
This is a standard murder, and you want to set up a monument of merit!

And this is also Cao Cao's biggest stain, the original sin of the common people calling him "Cao Thief".

What kind of Han court do you really want to talk about?What emperor?
Those are too far away from the common people, and the common people can't survive on their own, let alone being loyal to the emperor and patriotic!
Can be…

Because of Lu Yu, Cao Cao's status in the hearts of the people today is not only "very high", it is simply "noble"!
As for the reason, Cao Cao, who unified the Central Plains, never showed his war to the common people.

Not only that, reclaiming wasteland, distributing unowned land to the people, implementing military and civilian settlements, and counting cattle to transport grain!What's more... even if it is a siege, there is little bloodshed!

So Cao Cao?

How can the people not love it?How can we not support it?

It is for this reason that Xu's mother, who used to hate Cao Cao in history, is now... the one who supports Cao Cao the most.

As for what emperor?
What Hanting?
That's all bullshit...

Without Cao Cao, these poor people would have died long ago.

Having said that, Mother Xu witnessed the troubled times with her own eyes... How could she not know that the root cause of the cholera was the Han court's prostitution of officials and nobles, not giving people a way out!

The common people dare not wear clothes when they are cold, and dare not eat when they are hungry. Such an emperor?What is the use?
Speaking of...

Mother Xu was the most angry when she heard that the Han court had assassinated Cao Cao. Cao Cao was going to die?So... Is there still a good life they have managed to live?

Not to mention because of Lu Yu, because of the rise of Taixue, all the villagers in Xujia Village have become "little landlords", enjoying unimaginable wealth and well-being!

The common people in troubled times really don't have high demands, as long as they have a mouthful of food, a suit of clothes, and a house that can shelter them from the wind and rain for the winter, they are satisfied.

Can…

Now, their happy life has been ruined by the Han court.

Undoubtedly, this Han court, this emperor is their enemy!

Even if it is the divine right of the king, it will not work!

Even if Dong Zhongshu and Confucius come back to life, it won't work!
It's no wonder Xu's mother's emotions are so throbbing, Xu Shu slandered her benefactor so much?She felt her heart was broken, and she felt angry all over her body!
"Mother... Mother..."

"Get out, I don't want to see you as an unworthy son in this life, I will be, I will be without you! Get out, get out!"

Xu Shu was scolded bloody by Xu's mother...

He seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to understand. Of course... Compared with his mother, he has received more education, and the Confucian idea of ​​"divine right of kings" is even more deeply rooted.

Hit me with a stick...

Thinking about it carefully, my mother was right!

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is important, but even one's own mother and relatives cannot be preserved, so...is there any point in being loyal to the emperor?

The great man ruled the world with filial piety, what did he mean by Xu Shu's disobedience to his mother?How is that different from pigs and dogs?
"Mom, I...I..."

Xu Shu almost told him that he escaped for Liu Bei and secretly united with the Five Route Army to encircle and suppress Cao Cao.

After all, he was worried about angering his mother, so he swallowed the words back.

"Go away! Go away!"

While scolding, Xu's mother picked up the stick and slammed it towards Xu Shu's back, slap... Xu Shu grunted when the stick went into his flesh.

"Mother just hit it, this stick just woke up the child."

"What did you wake up?"

"After waking up the child, the child understands 'what is precious'?" Xu Shu said seriously: "The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least!"

Snapped…

Another stick down.

Xu's mother trembled a little, but she was not polite at all. "Don't say that great truth! Just say what you said just now."

"Mother is right. I, Xu Shu, are not as good as pigs and dogs. I mistook foolish loyalty for justice!"

Snapped…

The familiar stick struck again.

"Again the truth! I still don't understand, where did you go wrong!"

This time, after seven or eight pumps in a row, Xu's mother lost her strength, and Xu Shu's back was covered with bruises.

Thanks to him being a swordsman, he managed to survive, and after experiencing all these pains, he had a thorough understanding of some things.

In this troubled world, how can there be so many black and white...

The one who saves the world?It may not be the benevolence and loyalty on the surface!

Those who can make the people of the world live a good life, who can make the people have food and clothing, and who can keep these poor people from freezing to death in the cold wind, are the so-called "saviors"!
Liu Bei?

Or Cao Cao?

At this moment...Xu Shu suddenly understood. For a moment, he realized that he understood Yinlin. Why did Yinlin turn to Cao Cao?Why didn't Yin Lin choose Liu Bei?There is a deep meaning in this.

At this moment, Xu's mother sat down panting. He looked at Xu Shu with a bit of distress in his eyes, but his face was sullen. "Do you know what's wrong now?"

"Understood!" Xu Shu replied firmly, he felt that his heart was never as transparent as it is now. "Mother, I know what to do! My boy... I'm going to... to atone for my sin!"

While talking, Xu Shu stood up, didn't change his clothes, let alone wipe the bloodstains on his back, just walked out the door step by step!
Only then did Xu's mother let out a breath.

She knows that her son has great ambitions, but a good bird chooses a tree, and a virtuous minister chooses a leader. As a mother, she must let her son embark on a correct path, a path that benefits the people of the world!

Xu Shu was also unambiguous, and when he walked to the door, he knelt down and kowtowed to his old lady.

Immediately... got on his horse and walked towards Shangshutai.

As far as he was concerned, he had done a wrong thing... a huge wrong thing.

And now, he has to make up for it!

Go directly to Situ's mansion?How could Lu Situ know who Xu Yuanzhi was?

As a matter of urgency, go first...to see Mr. Xun Yu, a fellow villager in Yingchuan, and ask him to recommend you, so that you can...give Xu Shu a chance to redeem his sins.

As the saying goes-Xu Shu is proud of himself, but the clown is myself!

...

...

The sun shines on the nine ridges, in the majestic Shangshutai with double eaves.

The sudden appearance of Xu Shu made Xun Yu stop, and he was startled. He who was holding a book in his hand... accidentally dropped the book on the ground.

"Wen Ruo, don't come here unharmed!"

Xu Shu's words made Xun Yu stunned, as if he had returned to his youthful appearance in Yingchuan!

At that time, Xu Shu was his eldest brother, not because of his age, but because of his righteousness, his martial arts were strong, and Xu Shu was the only one who made all Yingchuan's peers obey him.

At that time, Xu Shu was not called Xu Shu, but Xu Fu!
There's an interlude in between...

At that time, a bully killed their brother. Because he wanted to avenge his brother, Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others jointly used a plan to get rid of the bully.

But among them, Xu Shu, the "swordsman" who made the move, was caught by the officials, but when the officials asked him about his accomplices, Xu Shu didn't say a word. Xu Shu remained silent, as if he couldn't speak, and would rather die than betray his brother.

In the end, it was Xun Yu, Xun You and others who rescued him through the power of the Xun family and their tricks!

That is, from then on, Xu Fu changed his name to Xu Shu.

In the same way, Xu Shu realized that dancing with a spear and sticks would not solve the problem, so he changed his usual swordsman integrity, went to school, studied, and then activated his talent of being a master.

When he met Xun Yu again, Xun Yu felt emotional... Xu Shu, who became a monk on the way, was much more talented than himself!

"Yuan Zhi, you are a rare visitor!" Xun Yu grabbed Xu Shu's hands. "When did you come to Xudu City?"

"I came here more than ten days ago..." Xu Shu said truthfully.

"Then...then why didn't you tell me?" Xun Yu seemed very excited. There are not many people who can make him appreciate it to the extreme, and Xu Shu is undoubtedly the most shining one.

This…

Hearing Xun Yu's question, Xu Shu was dumbfounded...he didn't know what to say.

After a short silence, Xu Shu took a deep breath.

"Wen Ruo, I have something to tell you, but before that, I want to ask you a question?"

"Yuan Zhi just ask..." Xun Yu pulled Xu Shu to sit on the side of the desk, and he poured tea for Xu Shu himself. He was really happy to see Xu Shu, the old big brother.

"Wen Ruo? I've always thought that for scholars like you and me who live in troubled times and are unfortunately educated, there are only two meanings for living. One is to set foot on the mountain of swords in this troubled world. Let your reputation pass on, live up to what you have learned, make a good appearance, and the second is to seek some hope for the people in this troubled world."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused. "But...what if it is not the emperor who brings hope to the people in this troubled world, but a prince? Then should we choose to be loyal to the emperor? Or should we choose to be loyal to thousands of people!"

This…

Xu Shu's words startled Xun Yu.

He didn't expect that this big man who reunited after a long absence would... actually ask such a sharp question just after meeting, what a sharp question!

However, this question is also a question that Xun Yu has been pondering and pondering over and over again recently.

Because of Lu Yu's new understanding of "Xunzi", Xun Yu's concept of "loyalty to the emperor" has also become blurred.

——Receiving the dirt of the country is for the lord of the country, and if the country is not surrendered, it is for the lord of the world!

——The way of heaven is permanent, it does not exist for Yao, and does not perish for Jie...

These are what Xun Yu has realized recently.

Divine right of kings!Dong Zhongshu?Is Dong Shengren's point of view correct?

Lu Yu mentioned that "kingdom may not be bestowed by God", and the Confucianism taught by Dong Shengren may not be the Confucianism in Confucius' mind... These words, after all, at this moment, also touched Xun Yu's heart extremely!
call…

Xun Yu let out a long breath, and immediately replied: "Yuanzhi, I don't know how to answer your question. After all, since Emperor Wu deposed all schools of thought and respected only Confucianism, we have been educated to be loyal to the emperor, to , filial piety, integrity, fraternity, propriety, righteousness, honesty, and shame, 'loyalty' comes first again... but..."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused, his eyes narrowed slightly. "However, there is a person who told me a word, which made me think about it until now, and I am at a loss."

"What?" Xu Shu asked anxiously.

Xun Yu blurted out.

——"Don't let loyalty kill you!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Xu Shu felt a tremor all over his body, as if he had been struck by an electric shock. There was a burst of numbness penetrating the heart, a numbness that penetrated into the bone marrow.

"Don't let loyalty kill you...don't let loyalty kill you?"

He began to mutter and repeat this sentence over and over again...

While repeating, he paced left and right, as if he was insane.

Seeing Xu Shu's appearance, Xun Yu was startled, a little confused, so he could only shout softly. "Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi..."

finally…

After ten breaths, Xu Shu grabbed Xun Yu's hand.

"I get it, I get it all..."

"Wen Ruo, take me... take me to see Lu Situ, I... I have the solution he desperately needs!"

A solution to the situation?

After blurting out his words, Xun Yu's eyes widened in vain, and he asked incredulously, "What is the solution Yuan Zhi said to break the situation?"

"Wen Ruo, don't lie to me. Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Han Sui, Ma Teng... the Five Route Army is about to encircle and suppress Cao Cao. Such an urgent military matter, you have thought of a way to break the situation Is it?"

Uh…

Xun Yu felt that it was a strange day after being told by Xu Shudao what was in his heart!

He asked Xu Shu seriously.

"Yuanzhi? Why do you know this, and why do you have a plan to break the situation?"

"Because..." Xu Shu said without thinking. "Because I, Xu Shu, was the designer of the strategy of 'Five Ways to Conquer Cao Cao'!"

boom…

As soon as this remark came out, Xun Yu's eyes widened to the limit, and for a moment, he was stupefied!

……

The sky was dark, night fell, the night was clear, the moon was shining like water, and the city of Xudu was covered with frost, but Xun Yu and Xu Shu were galloping in the dark night.

Someone went to the Sikong Mansion to tell Lu Yu the news...

And Xun Yu and Xu Shu had already arrived outside the gate of Situ Mansion. They looked at each other, stood in front of the door for a while, and then lightly knocked on the door.

The moon star is rare...

Doomed to sleepless night.

...

...

Jiangdong, Wu County.

In a restaurant, Lu Xun and Lu Ji walked into it.

Speaking of which, even though the Lu family now holds mountains of gold and silver in their hands, in Jiangdong, they are still very low-key, do not show mountains, do not leak water, and have an attitude of indifference to the world!
It can be said that in the entire Jiangdong, except for those trustworthy members of the Lu clan, few people know that the Lu family today is a veritable "family with mines"!
Those baskets of gold were dug out from Shenting Ridge, as if they didn't need money!

What's even more frightening is that not only Shenting Ridge, but also Qionglong Mountain and Tern's Ridge, where countless iron and gold mines have been unearthed!
Lu Xun secretly used these gold mines to purchase a large amount of grain, which was hidden in Shenting Ridge.

They even quietly recruited a team of thousands of people to protect the mountains and mountains.

Right now...

They showed up at the wine shop in Wu County to meet some people who had an unshakable hatred with the Sun family.

They came two hours early...

Just ordered a pot of tea, and the two drank each other.

"Bo Yan? Do you think these people can be trusted?" Lu Ji asked first...

"Of course I can't believe it." Lu Xun took a sip of his tea and said softly, "Once Jiangdong's trilogy is loyal to whomever, he will be loyal to him forever! Even if the lord dies, he will be loyal to his children and will never change the master." !So...how could they be loyal to us?"

"Then we still need to subsidize their food? Isn't this superfluous?" Lu Ji asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Lu Xun took another sip of tea. "I have inquired about it. Yan Baihu, Liu Yao, Wang Lang, Xu Gong, the rest of them either set up a village in the mountains, or became a green forest and grass. It seems that they are in peace with the Sun family, but in fact, they all have more or less Or at least they were squeezed out by the Sun family, and now they are about to run out of food! And we are the only ones who can provide them with food?"

"But...Bo Yan mentioned it just now, can't you trust them?" Lu Jin frowned and asked again.

"For children, the one who has milk is the mother. For a group of empty stomachs, the one who has food is the master. They may not listen to us, but they have to listen to the food, haha!"

Lu Xun waved his hand. Because of the mountain and two mountains, he has a lot of confidence in his whole body, and continued with a smile. "Besides, don't our Lu family have the same goal as them?"

same goal...

Naturally, it was the Sun family!
The goal of the Lu family is not just to stay in the four major families in Jiangdong, the Lu family is going to replace the Sun family!

And these remnants of power, their purpose is only one, to avenge the old master, so hit it off... Even if you don't believe it, this remnant soldier is still good enough!

The words blurted out, Lu Ji understood...

This means that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!

but…

"Bo Yan, we just heard a piece of unfavorable information. Sun Ce ordered troops to go north to Guangling City in Xuzhou. I heard that Liu Bei fled to Xiapi City. If Guangling is lost, a gap will be opened in the Central Plains."

This is out of the way...

"Shhh..." Lu Xun seemed to sense something was wrong, and quickly pointed out his index finger to signal Lu Ji not to say any more.

With his keen sense of smell and observation, he noticed that the middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat on the table behind him seemed to be listening to the conversation between the two brothers.

Lu Ji hurriedly shut his mouth...

At the same time, Lu Xun turned his head to look at the man.

Very mysterious, the bamboo hat covered all her cheeks, she didn't say a word, and she couldn't tell where she was from?
The more so, the more Lu Xun felt that this person was far from simple!
"Ha ha…"

At this moment, a chuckle came from the mysterious man's mouth.

Followed by a sentence of unintelligible, but catchy rhetoric!

——"Laughing and interjecting the poor and the old and the crazy and the crazy will eventually become empty!"

——"The blunt blade is useless to judge righteousness, and dreams can only be broken!"

——"Lu Huang left a sigh full of footprints no one understands!"

——"I have been looking forward to passing through for many years, but the world of mortals is rolling around, and I haven't seen it through!"

——"Self-deprecating ink has a thousand feelings and resents Yingjie's sorrow!"

——"At the end of the song, the person exudes brilliance and white hair, and dies!"

——"The candle is still alive and the sun is fighting with the sun to lose weight! When tears dry and blood fills the eyes, and the white snow turns red!"

This is out of the way...

There were still people applauding in the restaurant.

Some even sneered and said, "What is this? It's a poem but not a poem, it's a Fu and not a Fu, it's neither fish nor fowl, but...it sounds catchy, but it's inexplicable, and there's a feeling of emotion in it!"

But only Lu Xun and Lu Ji...

When they heard this, their hearts trembled and they were both startled.

The two look at each other...

There were only five big characters that appeared in the eyes - "It's actually my own!"

...
