Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 726 Chuhe Han Realm
The banquet is still a peaceful atmosphere with singing and dancing.

only…

Under the charming dance, what can't be hidden is a series of "swish" gazes, which are breathtaking...

No one appreciated the singer's dance anymore, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Yu.

"Ziyu, no matter what, you have to give our old uncles an explanation for today's imperial examination... Otherwise, if it continues like this, in a few years, wouldn't any bird eggs be able to shit on our Qiao Peiwu people? gone?"

Cao Hong's words pushed the atmosphere here to a new round of tension.

at first…

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan tried to persuade and stop him a little bit, but in fact, they also felt that what Lu Yu did...was a bit unkind.

How can one favor the other?

How about favoring those scholars, and undermining their Qiao Pei meritorious deeds?
finally…

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yu spoke. "The Chuhe-Han Realm between Han Gaozu and the Overlord of Western Chu, you uncles are not unfamiliar with it?"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Xia Houyuan said: "It was August in the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Peng Yue of Liangdi harassed the soldiers of Chu and cut off his food supply. At this time, Zhongli Mo was besieged by the Han army. , Qi Wang Hanxin led the army to attack the Chu army, Xiang Yu was afraid, so the two sides signed the "Gap Agreement", using the canal gap built by the Wei State during the Warring States Period as the boundary to divide the world, known as the Chu River Han boundary in history!"

Xia Houyuan also studied in Taixue, and Cao Cao was a junior, so he is very familiar with these military stories in history.

"What about the Battle of Gaixia?" Lu Yu asked again...

this…

Xiahou Dun scratched his head, remembering.

Cao Xiu blurted out: "After the 'Gap Peace Agreement', Zhang Liang and Chen Ping suggested that Liu Bang tear up the Gap Peace Agreement and launch a sneak attack from behind while the Chu army's tired troops returned east. Zhang and Chen thought that 'Han has most of the world. , and the princes are all attached to it. The soldiers of Chu are exhausted, and it will be the time when Chu is destroyed in this day', so he proposed, "It is better to take it because of the opportunity"! Liu Bang adopted the proposal of the two, but was defeated by Xiang Yu in Guling Defeated, retreated into Chenxia, ​​surrounded by the Chu army... fell into the biggest crisis in the struggle between Chu and Han."

"Wen Lie is right..." After Cao Xiu's voice fell, Lu Yu stretched out his hand to signal the song girl's music to stop, and he got up slowly, and then asked: "Since Liu Bang retreated to Chenxia and was surrounded by the Chu army, how to build a dynasty? What about Liu Bang, not Xiang Yu, king of Chu?"

this…

Cao Xiu was familiar with ancient books, and said directly: "That's because Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu, and because Han Xin and Peng Yue who were gathered together did not send troops to attack the Chu army as promised. After Liu Bang was besieged...he adopted Zhang Liang's opinion and sent Chen Yidong Until a large area of ​​Dahai was confiscated to King Han Xin of Qi; the north of Suiyang to Gucheng was confiscated to Peng Yue, so that they sent all their troops to the south, and at the same time ordered Liu Jia to lead the army to join Yingbu to go north from Huai, and the five-way army Let's jointly launch the final encirclement against Xiang Yu, and the battle of Gaixia will begin!"

"Not bad!" Lu Yu looked at Cao Xiu approvingly...then turned around and faced everyone. "People in the world often mention the struggle between Chu and Han. What they think of is the Battle of Gaixia. They think of being besieged on all sides, and Wujiang, the overlord, committing suicide. But what they ignore is that Liu Bang united the five armies to complete this victory!"

"If there is no great benefit, will Han Xin, Peng Yue, Liu Jia, and Yingbu cooperate with Liu Bang to launch a siege? Will Liu Bang alone be the opponent of the Overlord of Western Chu? It is the same reason!"

This is where Lu Yu said...

Many of Qiao Pei's contributions have realized something.

Cao Hong, however, was still stupid and naive and asked: "What we are talking about today is about the imperial examination and our Qiaopei people becoming officials. How could it be related to the Battle of Gaixia? It is related to the Overlord of Chu and Emperor Gaozu of Han?" "

"Zi Lian..." Xiahoudun grabbed Cao Hong, and he said earnestly, "Ziyu is right... What Ziyu wants to govern today is a huge world. It's okay for us Qiaopei warriors to fight and kill. If we really want to govern the world, then that's okay." It's not our strong point... But everything in the world is complicated, Ziyu alone is not enough? He needs helpers, shouldn't these helpers be selected from those sour scholars and scholars?"

"Yeah..." Cao Ren also said with emotion: "The state treasury dispatches and employs people, farming and water conservancy dignitaries, city construction dignitaries, relief of disaster victims, reinforcement of rivers... These are all inseparable from people... Such a big empire, we should think about it for His Majesty." think…"

After such a reminder... Cao Hong's brain circuit has turned around.

"What you mean is that if Ziyu wants to use these people, he has to give them dates to let them taste the sweetness...or else...if he pulls Liu Bang's hind legs like Han Xin and Peng Yue, wouldn't that be the end of his life? "

That's the reason!
Cao Hong yelled so carelessly that everyone was amused.

"But...well, we can't let all of us Qiaopei lose the election, can we?" Cao Hong scratched his head... "How much, this imperial examination... we have to let our own people... get a little bit better, otherwise... uncles will lose face on the street !"

Rough words are not rough...

Lu Yu could feel Cao Hong's relentlessness. He had gone from asking the teacher to blame, to now... the final fight.

This change in heart made Lu Yu very happy.

"Uncles... How could I not consider you?" Lu Yu smiled and faced everyone, "The previous imperial examination was just an attempt. The original imperial examination was to go from the provincial examination to the general examination and then to the palace examination...but the last time , the counties and counties did not have time to carry out the township test... Similarly, according to my original concept, how could there be only a literary test and no military test?"

Martial arts test?

These two words startled all Qiao Peiwu people.

Lu Yu's words continued, "The literary examination in the imperial examination tests the Four Books and Five Classics, which are the teachings of sages, but the military examination is completely opposite. The tests are weightlifting, riding and archery, infantry, carbine, and military strategy... In the end, it is also awarded the champion. , a role model, and the top three..."

Speaking of here…

Lu Yu walked to Cao Hong's side, "Uncle Zilian, our Four Books and Five Classics can't compare with those scholars, family heirlooms and family heirlooms, but martial arts, military art, riding and archery... these are not far behind, right? Although this martial arts does not consider family background, But where do the poor and scholarly families go to practice? Where do you go to practice riding without horses? There is no martial arts arena, no master...where can you go to practice eighteen kinds of weapons?"

"A Jinshi of liberal arts can serve as an official in various ministries of the imperial court, but a Jinshi of martial arts can command troops and lead troops to fight... How about letting those literati rule the country? Isn't the military power still firmly in our hands!"

At the end, Lu Yu showed a meaningful smile...

And this smile inexplicably made all the big stones in Qiao Peiwu's heart fall safely.

Martial arts...

Wu Zhuangyuan!
Good martial arts...

They were born as military generals, and they are naturally not the opponents of those educated students who spell the Four Books and Five Classics. However, the art of war, weapons, riding and shooting, fighting and killing... These, compared with the group of weak scholars, one of their Qiao Pei children can fight a hundred. !

Uh…

think so...

It seems that there is a lot of balance in my heart.

"Ziyu, you are so thoughtful!" Xiahou Dun got up and patted Lu Yu on the shoulder... Although Lu Yu is the emperor now, he still subconsciously regards him as a good brother.

"Everyone is worrying too much, is Ziyu thinking about us brothers?" Xia Houyuan also said with emotion.

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan... the two leaders of Qiao Pei's meritorious service, as soon as they made a statement...

This matter... will be settled in no time!

Cao Hong seemed to have figured out something, and couldn't help feeling, "The martial arts test is good, come on... My son will sign up for the martial arts test, I don't believe it, who else's children can understand martial arts better than us Qiaopei people?" !"

Yes…

Throughout the ages, the world has always been unfair.

Some live in Rome, some live as oxen and horses...

The people at the bottom want to cross the class and become honorable... what is needed is more than the efforts of three generations?
In this era, in terms of martial arts, the children of Qiao Pei's meritorious deeds have a natural advantage...

These are not comparable to ordinary people at all.

Of course, at least... the exams are fair, which can be regarded as a consolation to this "not born equal" world!
back hall...

After hearing Lu Yu's words, I witnessed the change in the attitude of this group of Qiao Pei Xungui.

Fu Shou sighed again and again: "Your husband is really good at attacking the heart! Every sentence fits perfectly, making people sound warm..."

Xia Houjuan on the side nodded lightly... She is used to others boasting about her husband.

But Liu Xue... looked at Fushou meaningfully, and she murmured... "Sister Fu said...'Your husband?' Shouldn't it be...our husband?"

Uh…

As soon as these words came out, Fu Shou was stunned... She suddenly discovered that this princess of the Han Dynasty was indeed good at obtaining information!He is a very useful talent in the sparrow family!
...

...

The land of Bashu, the land of abundance, Chengdu County.

At an altar in the outskirts, everyone is dressed in white filial piety, kneeling on the ground... Liu Bei kneels at the front.

It seems that...no big person has passed away recently, but...in Liu Bei's mind, there is nothing greater than death.

Because... the man is gone... the big man is gone!
thump…

With a bell chime.

Liu Bei was the first to shout: "My minister Liu Bei bows down to the Daxing Han Dynasty! I bow down to the Emperor Han!"

After blurting out a word, the sound of mourning and joy sounded, and Liu Bei's head hit the ground with a crisp sound.

"Your Majesty! Your life is miserable..." Liu Bei's voice was full of mourning, "You were bullied by gangsters since you were young, then you were kidnapped by Cao Cao, and finally you were usurped by Cao Yu...you were named Duke of Shanyang! The 400-year-old man was overthrown in this dynasty...revenge has not been repaid, hatred has not been snowed...the country has been destroyed, the universe has been lost, it is all due to the incompetence of the officials!"

"As a clan member of the Han family, I received your majesty's blood order to seek the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, but after so many years, I have not fulfilled your majesty's wish. I have owed the emperor's grace, and I have committed an unforgivable crime, and I have no face to see Liu's ancestors!"

thump…

As this sentence fell, Liu Bei bowed his head again, this time the sound was louder than the last time.

"Liu Bei swears to the sky that although the Han Emperor is deposed, the Han industry still exists. I, Liu Bei... will definitely inherit the great achievements of the Han Dynasty, wipe out all the traitors in the world, and rebuild the Han Dynasty!"

thump…

Liu Bei was extremely excited, his eyes were bloody, as if he was about to spurt out pieces of blood.

But at this time...

Li Yan from the Dongzhou faction shouted, "My condolences to Mr. Liu, how will Mr. Liu inherit the great cause of the Great Han?"

This...Liu Bei raised his eyes, he looked up at the sky, but remained silent for a long time...

Ten breaths... twenty breaths, thirty breaths...

For a whole hundred breaths, Liu Bei still didn't say a word, he seemed to be in some kind of meditation, or some kind of entanglement.

Everyone in the audience was also whispering.

"I heard that Zhuge Junshi and the envoy sent by the Great Wei, his younger brother Zhuge Jun, signed a five-year armistice agreement between Wei and Shu, and also accepted the title of King of Shu from the King of Wei... You said, Zhuge Junshi knew it in advance, Dawei Wei wants to usurp himself and proclaim himself emperor?"

"If you knew it in advance, then Zhuge's actions seem to be contradictory to what Liu Shijun just mentioned about 'suppressing the world's rebels' and 'the Han and the thieves are not at odds'?"

"I also heard that Zhuge Junshi agreed to do business with Wei Hu... Is this... is it also..."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, Army Master Zhuge is right in front, don't you all want your heads?"

Following Liu Bei's silence... the whispers intensified.

Ma Su whispered a few words in Zhuge Liang's ear...

Zhuge Liang let out an "ah" and sighed helplessly... He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Bei who was looking at the sky.

He said, "The emperor of Han has become the Duke of Shanyang, and the lord swears to the heavens... The Han industry still exists, but Han can't be without a master for a day. Since Cao Cao's rebellious son Cao Yu has already usurped the throne, the lord should inherit the great achievements of the great Han. ! Emperor Jin, command the world!"

Zhuge Liang smashed everyone's doubts about him with his actions...

And this blurted out...

Li Yan was the first to agree, "Military Master Zhuge is right. Han and traitors are not at odds with each other, and the king's career is not partial to peace...My lord can only inherit the great achievements of the great Han if he proclaims himself emperor!"

Zhao Yun also cupped his hands, "I also ask my lord to be the emperor!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knelt beside Liu Bei. Zhang Fei yelled, "Brother, Cao Cao's son dares to proclaim himself emperor. The elder brother is the empress of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing. The elder brother also proclaims himself emperor. What are you afraid of?"

Guan Yu's unchanging paralyzed face became more and more serious. "Brother proclaims himself emperor, that is the great wish of all the people in the world, and it is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty! Don't you think so!"

Guan Yu shouted...

Everyone yelled, "The minister is waiting to ask the lord to be promoted to the throne!"

"I beg your lord to be promoted to the throne!"

"I beg your lord to be promoted to the throne!"

The roar of the mountains and the tsunami... the sound shakes the universe, deafening!

But... Facing such calls, Liu Bei yelled "presumptuous", and he turned around...to face the crowd.

"The Han Dynasty was usurped, and the Han Emperor was deposed as Lord Shanyang. I, Liu Bei, am still filial and obedient. Are you going to trap me in infidelity?"

"My lord..." Zhao Yun cupped his hands, "Then Cao Yu has usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself. The lord is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, so he should inherit the throne and prolong the Han dynasty!"

"Zilong..." Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun, "As a Han subject, how can I imitate the rebels?"

"My lord..." Zhao Yun continued: "The Son of Heaven has been deposed. If the King does not inherit the throne, why should he lead the Heavenly Master to seek rebellion? Could it be that... the King wants the people of the world to call our righteous teachers traitors? Rebels? "

Speaking of this...Zhao Yun bowed his hands deeply, "The people in the middle of Sichuan, the people in the world... look forward to the king's succession, like a drought and rain. If the king sticks to the etiquette and does not move forward, he will have lost popularity!"

This…

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, his eyes looked at Li Yan, at Zhuge Liang, at Zhao Yun, and at every civil and military officer.

He relaxed a little in his heart, but it was only for a moment, and he raised his mood again.

"Cao Yu usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, and I have been insulted by the world. Although I am the great-great-grandson of the Han Emperor, I have no kindness to give to the world, and I have endless achievements in destroying thieves and helping the Han. If I proclaim myself emperor, wouldn't I become Cao Yu's first Two... How should people with lofty ideals, officials and ordinary people from all over the world treat them?"

The voice fell...

Liu Bei realized a terrible fact.

He has fallen into a "Yang Conspiracy"...

Cao Ziyu is clearly harming him!
