The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 452 New Explanation of the Analects of Confucius
When I left the city, I found that there were hundreds of people waiting at the gate of the city.

The leader is none other than Guan Yu.

Guan Yu followed Dian Wei half a step behind, and Dian Wei followed Gao Shun, and next to him was Chen Deng who hadn't shown his face for a long time.

Last year before going out to attack Dong, Lin Chao poured Chen Deng a pot of chicken soup.The purpose, of course, is to fool Chen Deng.

As the head of the Xuzhou family, Chen Deng's attitude can largely represent the attitude of the Xuzhou family.

Secondly, even if Chen Deng couldn't figure it out, what he said was enough to make him feel scruples.

After all, the expedition was about to start, and Lin Chao wanted to ensure the stability of the rear.

But what Lin Chao didn't expect was that chicken soup had such great power.After Chen Deng went back and thought hard behind closed doors for three days, he finally had a clear understanding and turned to embrace the construction of Xuzhou, vowing to contribute to the development and growth of Xuzhou.

Therefore, he is now the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, Jia Xu's direct subordinate.

And behind Chen Deng, there were a few brats following, namely Yang Xiu who had just returned from his envoy with Xun Chen, Guan Yu's eldest son, Guo Jia's brother-in-law Guan Ping, Chen's younger brother Chen Dao, and Guan Yu who planned to take him in as his son. Adopted son Wei Yan.

When Lin Chao sent Wei Yan to Guan Yu, Guan Yu was extremely disdainful.

This little doll has mediocre martial arts and mediocre intelligence, and there is nothing unusual about it. It is really puzzling that Zichu wants to adopt someone as a foster son.

Well, in the eyes of the second master, the world is full of people who insert labels and sell their heads.

It is not surprising that Wei Yan received this evaluation.

Until Guan Yu saw the proud look on the corner of Wei Yan's eyebrows, which was exactly the same as his own, he was overjoyed.

This adoptive son has been accepted, and no one can stop him, I, Guan Yunchang, said so!

At this time, everyone saw Lin Chao's ox cart slowly approaching, and everyone except Guan Yu clasped their fists and saluted, "I've seen Chang Shi!"

"You are exempt."

Lin Chao got off the car, waved his sleeves and said with a smile.

Guan Yu and Dian Wei came up.

Dian Wei clasped his fists and said: "Supervisor, my lord heard that you are going to various parts of Xuzhou to observe the people's conditions, and the special general will lead five hundred soldiers to accompany you as guards."

To be honest, Liu Bei is opposed to Lin Chao's trip this time...to observe the people's sentiments.

Now there is a lot of waste in Xuzhou, the implementation of the new policy is in full swing, the four people in the inner government are vomiting blood every day, and Xun Yu is so busy that his hair is almost gray.

The war is still going on in the north, and Zhao Yun has just set out for an expedition, and there are enemies on the east and west sides.

At this time, Zichu, you should sit in Tan County regardless of emotion and reason, even if you just idle around all day long!

But it's so incomprehensible that you want to go out and play.

The most disgusting thing is that when you go out to play, you don't bring some...

Zichu, you are not very kind.

Liu Bei, who is quite like a great ancestor, is actually tired of staying in Tan County all day long.

He couldn't do anything except play with Mrs. Mi and inspect the barracks.

In terms of government affairs, Liu Bei cannot be said to be ignorant, it can only be said that he is ignorant.

In terms of military affairs, Liu Bei's current status can't lead troops casually. Besides, the small group of rebels in Xuzhou has already been paid by Lin Xi, which can be regarded as increasing the experience points of the new army under his command.

Therefore, when everyone was busy, Liu Bei was already so idle that he came back to life.

And the only little friend, Lin Chao, left him to go out to play alone, which made him very angry.

But after thinking about it, Lin Chao went out to observe the people's sentiments, and Lin Xi was training a new army outside, so he could take advantage of it!

Miss Diao Chan, Liu Xuande is here too!
As for little friend Lin Zichu, tell him to get out of here quickly, as far away as possible!
Lin Chao looked at Dian Wei and the murderous soldiers behind him, slowly shook his head and said, "I'm just traveling around, not fighting, so why do I need so many guards?"

Dian Wei hastily persuaded: "But my lord has strictly ordered you to ensure your safety..."

"If someone says no, it means no!"

Lin Chao interrupted Dian Wei's words with a wave of his sleeve, then pointed at Gao Shun behind him, and said, "For this trip, only Gongyi is enough."

"This……"

Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally he didn't dare to disobey Lin Chao's order, he cupped his fists and said, "Wei!"

"You are wise and at ease. How can I not understand the principle that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. I have already arranged for guards. Please report back to Duke Xuande. Don't worry."

Lin Chao stood on tiptoe and patted Dian Wei's shoulder lightly, comforting him.

Dian Wei nodded, expressing that he would bring the conversation with him.

After talking about the business, Guan Yu clasped his fist at Lin Chao, and said solemnly, "Zi Chu, I'll take care of you!"

"Don't worry Yun Chang." Lin Chao said with a smile.

In addition to Zhuge Liang, Lin Chao also planned to bring Xuzhou's next-generation seedlings with him during his trip.Anyway, one sheep is also chased, and a group of sheep is also herded, so it is easy to teach all the time.

As for how much they can learn, it depends on their own understanding.

At the beginning, Guan Yu wanted to worship his son under Lin Chao's sect, but Lin Chao didn't agree, so Guan Yu's wish was fulfilled this time.

Guan Yu called Guan Ping to his side and said, "Ping'er, please remember, this time when you are with Uncle Lin, you should treat him as your father. If there is any disrespect, you will not be spared as a father!"

"My child remembers!"

Of course Guan Ping did not dare to disobey Guan Yu, so he pretended to be cute and agreed.It's just that from the corner of his eyes, he kept looking at Lin Chao, as if full of contempt.

Although Guan Ping's move was slight, he was caught by the keen Lin Changshi.

Boy, you don't know how to respect your elders, do you?

"Yun Chang doesn't have to be so harsh." Lin Changshi's face was full of a kind smile, "However, Tan Zhi is also a person who is about to get married, so he has to take care of his face."

After all, Lin Chao smiled and nodded at Guan Ping, his eyes still kind.

Boy, my uncle will teach you a lesson today, let you know what it means to be sinister.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Chao's words, Guan Yu became angry immediately, frowned and said, "How can a dog be able to start a family and start a business if he behaves so shamelessly. If it wasn't for the elder brother's insistence, I must let this kid practice for a few more years." ..."

Speaking of his son who failed to live up to expectations, the old father Guan Yu changed his usual taciturn appearance, scolded his head and covered his face, and finally even wanted to make a move, but fortunately Lin Chao stopped him.

Guan Ping was trembling at the side, how could he not know what was going on at this time, so he looked at Lin Chao with pleading eyes.

Uncle Lin accepts the supernatural powers, my nephew accepts it!
……

After talking for a while at the gate of the city, Guan Yu and Dian Wei went back to report to Liu Bei.

Lin Chao, on the other hand, took the second generation of Xuzhou and officially embarked on the journey.

"Yuanlong, where shall we go first?"

Even if it's a trip, you can't run around aimlessly.As for the target direction, Shuntian Prefecture has the responsibility to understand the people's sentiments, and the general situation in Xuzhou can still be grasped.

Hearing this, Chen Deng replied: "Chang Shi, according to your request, we should go to Qu County first."

"Qu county?"

Lin Chao frowned.

If I remember correctly, Qu County should be the base camp of the Mi Clan.

"good."

Chen Deng once again affirmed his statement.

Good guy, are you going to take Liu Bei's brother-in-law as soon as you come out?
Thinking about it, Lin Chaochong laughed and said to the second generation: "I have nothing to do today, so let me test you."

The second generations dare not neglect.

Zhuge Liang: "Teacher please show me!"

Yang Xiu: "Chang Shi please show me!"

Wei Yan and Guan Ping: "Uncle please show me!"

Chen Dao: "Brother, please show me!"

Guan Ping: "???"

Uncle Zhi, you are deliberately finding fault, right?

Do you have the pleasure of acting as a senior in front of someone?

But Lin Chao was right in front of him, and Guan Ping couldn't get angry, so he could only give Chen Dao a vicious look, thinking of finding an opportunity to beat him up together with Wei Yan.

"The Master said, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. What is the explanation for this statement?"

This famous saying of Confucius is actually not obscure, it is even very popular.

The pursuit of truth has not changed since ancient times.This sentence of Confucius said that if you can know the truth in the world, you will have no regrets even if you live and die overnight.

The second generations present obviously understood, so they gave the answer in unison.

It's a pity that Lin Chao didn't praise them, instead he gave them a big white eye.

"wrong!"

The second generations were astonished, even Chen Deng was a little surprised.

Don't you want to do this?

Lin Changshi smiled slightly, and said: "Confucius' words seem simple, but in fact they contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, which can be understood by ordinary people. The ancients said that the truth is simple.

It's ridiculous that you are only superficial, but you don't know the deep meaning, and you blurt it out without thinking. This is a lie!If you don't repent, and don't think carefully about everything, even if you take charge of the government and control an army alone, you will only harm the soldiers and civilians under your command! "

Lin Chao's words were stern and righteous, which caused the second generation to look ashamed and bow their heads in silence.

Even a well-educated person like Chen Deng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

With the ability of long history, it will never be false. Could it be that Confucius' words have a deeper meaning that he does not know?

Alas, there is indeed no end to the way of learning!

Thinking of this, Chen Deng bowed his hands very solemnly, and said in a loud voice: "This subordinate is stupid, and I don't know what the sage means, so I ask Chang Shi to enlighten me."

Looking at the crowd, Lin Chao softened his expression slightly and said, "You really want to know?"

Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Okay, with this desire to seek knowledge, why worry about not being able to make progress."

Lin Changshi first affirmed everyone's eagerness to learn, and then said inscrutablely:

"The so-called hearing the Tao in the morning can die in the evening...

It means that if you know the way to the enemy's house in the morning, you will kill him at night!

As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge, from morning to night, is the truth! "

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, everyone's faces were like constipation.

Lin Chao ignored it, and was even happy that he understood Confucius' subtle words and great righteousness. He laughed twice and said:
"Let's go to Qu County!"

……

The name of Jibei County is Lu County, and it is only a hundred miles away from Fenggao, the Taishan County.

Entrusted by the Lin Dynasty, Cao Cao arrived in Lu County, and of course received the warm hospitality from the county magistrate Bao Xin.

Bao Xin, who was born in Pingyang County, Taishan Mountain, had great ambitions since he was a child, treated people generously, and was calm and foresight in situations.

Not to mention anything else, just thinking about it for a long time is very in line with the facts.

Originally in history, Yuan Shao became the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and the world followed him.But Bao Xin is the only one who is not optimistic about Yuan Shao, he is more optimistic about Cao Cao, and even said something like 'only the public can set things right'.

To be able to make the same evaluation as Xun Yu, his vision must be the same.

Of course, it is also possible that he has no vision at all, but simply admires Cao Cao...

Anyway, with Bao Xin here, Cao Cao's life in Jibei should not be too comfortable.

Originally Yuan Shao's act of attacking and killing Han Fu made Bao Xin quite unhappy, but it was not to the extent of turning his face.But when Cao Cao arrived, he told Bao Xin that Liu Bei had sent troops to the north, and at the same time advised Bao Xin not to help each other.

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, Bao Xin immediately said to Meng De that if you speak, I will do so.

As for Yuan Shao... Who is Yuan Shao?
After talking about the business, Bao Xin invited Cao Cao to be a guest in Jibei.Cao Cao also readily accepted this.

Although he is still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei treats him with great courtesy, Cao Cao has an indescribable confusion in his heart, which makes him restless day and night.

He had great ambitions, but he couldn't carry them out.

Although Liu Bei appreciated him quite a lot, Lin Zichu obviously wouldn't reuse him.

So... where should my way forward be?
You can't just dawdle around like this, let's die forever!

Just when Cao Cao was depressed, two people came to him.

One is Chen Gong and the other is Cheng Yu.

As early as the beginning of the campaign for Dong, Chen Gong served under the command of Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, and also helped Liu Dai and Qiao Mao with ideas.Now that Qiao Mao is dead, Liu Dai has also been escorted back to Chang'an, but Chen Gong's talent cannot be used, so he temporarily takes refuge in Bao Xin's command.

As for Cheng Yushao, a county magistrate, he had made great contributions in the conquest of the Yellow Turbans, and was recruited by Liu Dai many times, but he kept resigning because he didn't like Liu Dai.This time he heard that Cao Cao had come to Yanzhou, so he came happily.

Cao Cao was the first to lead an army against Dong. Although he returned in a big defeat, he has accumulated some prestige after all.

Qiao Mao was killed by Liu Bei. No matter what the reason was, it was impossible for Chen Gong to vote for Xuzhou, and Cheng Yu admired Cao Cao's loyalty and bravery, so the two hit it off and joined hands to vote.

The two finally met Cao Cao through Bao Xin as an intermediary.

Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed when a celebrity came to vote, but what the two said next completely shocked Cao Cao.

"Since the Son of Heaven was in trouble and the traitor Dong was in rebellion, the general initiated righteous soldiers to rein in the country. But when the traitor Dong was put to death, the feudal lords began to fight again. The general had the ambition of loyalty, but he had no place to live. This is the wrong time for a hero. !"

Chen Gong is worthy of being a celebrity, and his opening remarks, which were flattering, hit Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao replied with some helplessness: "Mr.'s words, I think so deeply, but what can I do if the time is not right?"

Hearing this, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

That's enough, Cao Mengde's bottom line has been explored almost.

We are willing to vote, not because you Cao Mengde is weak, but because you Cao Mengde does not have the ambition to compete for the world, that's why Chen Gong will testify.

After Cao Cao heard Chen Gong's words, he immediately showed a distressed expression, which was already the best answer.

If you, Cao Mengde, really have no ambitions and want to work under Liu Bei for the rest of your life, why bother?

Cheng Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "General, there is a place to hide right now. I wonder if the general is interested?"
