Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 121 Justice from Heaven: Come and Accept the Judgment of Heaven

Yan Liang was riding on the horse, wielding the knife in his hand, while Wen Chou held up a Sutie three-pronged spear that looked like a "gun".

Both of them were on alert. Hearing the sound of horseshoes in front of the path, they raised their eyes subconsciously, pointing their knives and spears at the bearded and red-faced man who was galloping towards the path.

Besides Guan Changsheng, who else could this man be?

Guan Yu saw a spear, a knife, and even saw these two old acquaintances. If it were someone else, he would have been shocked, but his eyes were calm and calm.

"Is it you?"

"Guan Changsheng." Yan Liang's gaze was fixed on his face as if it had been welded, and it took him a long time to say a word, "You killed my father! I will never die with you!"

Wen Chou's eyes are also extremely sharp. "Stealing the sky, more than a thousand lives, today's blood debt!"

Ah.

An extremely proud expression flashed between Guan Yu's eyebrows, accompanied by extremely sharp eyes.

Enemies meet, especially jealous!
Facing this fiery blazing gaze, ordinary people would be overwhelmed immediately.

However, Guan Yu looked at him calmly, with a faint smile on his lips from beginning to end.

As if in blood, he has completely suppressed his opponent.

"Guan is not afraid of killing two more people."

With the long knife swinging sideways, Guan Yu made a posture of one against two.

"What did you say?" Yan Liang pointed at Guan Yu and shouted angrily.

This time, Guan Yu's tone was even higher. "Guan just said that Guan Er is selling the first bid!"

While speaking, before the person arrives, the blade has arrived...

——The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger.

The saber's momentum is ethereal, like a flying dragon in the clouds, without seeing the head and tail, it strikes suddenly.

The wind follows the tiger, every blow is powerful and heavy, like a tiger in the wind, advancing step by step, chasing after it.

For a moment, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were filled with endless anger, fought two against one, but were firmly suppressed by Guan Yu's long knife. This feeling made them most truly realize the gap in hard power between them.

This…

This red-faced bearded man, can he fight like that?
"Clang clang clang..."

The three weapons collided in symphony, dazzling sparks agitated.

Guan Yu put all his strength into his arms, and each knife was heavier than the other, as if each knife cut out four words-"eliminate evil and do everything!"

for a while...

The generosity and bravery shook the sky, directly covering all nearby sounds.

The soaring evil spirit spread out, making Yan Liang and Wen Chou short of breath, as if they were not facing a person, but a "god" who wielded the saber technique to the realm of transformation.

call…

call…

There was a long gasp, a round of collision, both Yan Liang and Wen Chou reined in their horses and retreated, and the two looked at each other, in desperation, their eyes met, as if they were telling each other's despair.

Mr. Yuan said... capture him?how is this possible!

It's not easy not to be chopped off by him!
The urgent task can only be delayed for a while, just for a while.

On the other hand, Guan Yu raised his eyes to look at the sky in the spare time, and it was almost noon, any further delay would be contrary to Guanzhu Liu's plan, and we cannot let Guanzhu Liu's painstaking efforts go to waste!

"Come, come again!" He immediately raised the sword again. "Who can stop what I want?"

"Shou!"

"Hold on!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou whispered to each other, the two formed a formation, and they had to cooperate to use defense as offense, this is the word "drag" in martial arts!

At this moment, there was rustling in the surrounding grass.

Neither Guan Yu, nor Yan Liang, Wen Chou... didn't notice the crowds of people in the surrounding bushes, Jian Shuo personally brought the Xiyuan School Weijun over.

His Majesty asked him to secretly capture Guan Changsheng and send him to the palace.

After finally finding Guan Changsheng's location, Jian Shuo immediately brought the captain of Xiyuan to rush, but he met Yan Liang and Wen Chou who had the same purpose as him...

Jian Shuo didn't send someone to attack immediately, but gave orders first. "Seal this path, from now on, no one can enter Yulin Temple!"

"Here, here!" The Weijun of Xiyuan School immediately went to block it.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, and the red light shoots down on the ground like a fiery arrow. The air is getting hotter and hotter, making time seem extremely fast and tense.

It's almost noon, and I really have to wait until noon is over!
At that time, the sun, I am afraid, will be like the moon, becoming—pale and feeble.

...

...

In Yulin Temple, Liu Yu is still waiting, and in another quarter of an hour, it will be noon.

If Guan Yu hadn't come, all the painstaking efforts would have been in vain.

Is Guan Yu "cold in battle"?
Not so much, right?

Involuntarily, Liu Yu recalled what he said in the second half of the conversation with Guan Yu yesterday.

"The person who wants to harm you is the Yuan family in Runan. As the most famous family in this era and the absolute leader among Confucian scholar-bureaucrats, even the emperor fears the existence of three points. It is too easy for the Yuan family to frame someone. Whether it is public opinion It’s still the law of etiquette, they have all the right to analyze. Then there is only one countermeasure, and that is to make things big, and use the Confucian "heaven" to defeat Confucianism in full view!"

"Since Dong Zhongshu was defeated by Confucianism, they believed in the power of heaven and gods. It is the emperor who is ordered by heaven to rule the people. If someone disobeys the will of heaven, he will be sent down disasters and vigilance. The principles believed by the scholar-bureaucrats, so...the way to defeat Confucianism is to use the heaven they believe in, let the "heaven" really come down, and warn the world, and the Yuan family will have no excuses no matter what!"

This is by the lakeside yesterday...

Liu Yu's last words to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu didn't answer at that time, but his decisive expression is still vivid in my memory.

only…

Liu Yu raised his head, under the scorching sun... He saw that some people were secretly happy, some people were very nervous, and they looked like sentient beings.

at this time.

"Tap tap..."

In the distance, a vigorous figure walked along. Under the scorching sun, his shadow was stretched so long that he looked lonely, calm and magnanimous.

Danfeng eyes, long beard, green hat...

Isn't this the same as that of the murderer Guan Changsheng in the portrait?

There was a commotion in the crowd, as if many people backed away because they were afraid of his reputation as a "killer"!

He approached the high platform step by step, Liu Yu's eyes lit up.

audience...

The eyes of Qiao Xuan, Cai Yong, and Liu Bei also lit up.

Of course, there are some people who don't know that this is Jieliangguan Changsheng in the east of the river, but...frightened by his aura, they subconsciously get out of the way.

Guan Yu went straight up to the high platform, looked at the huge word "Yuan" on the three-foot white cloth, his eyes moved down, and stayed on Liu Yu's face.

Liu Yu had already stood up, looking at him with relief.

"You still choose to believe me after all."

"Haha." Guan Yu smiled slightly. "Why did Guan ever doubt Guanzhu Liu? It's just that something happened and he came too late!"

"Not too late, not too late." Liu Yu looked up at the sun. "It came just in time."

——It’s just right!

For these five short words, no one knows what Guan Yu has just experienced.

He fought with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the other party wanted to hold him back. Guan Yu fought more and more urgently, until at the end, he showed his weakness... Wen Chou almost stabbed him under the horse.

And Guan Yu realized that it may not be difficult to defeat these two, but it is not easy to break through their obstacles in a short time.

On the nick of time...

The sound of "da da" horse's hooves came from behind him, and a huge ax split open the "knife" and "spear" in front of him... It was a bloody way for Guan Yu.

"There's me here, go to Changsheng!"

With a strong Shanxi accent, ah no, it’s an accent from Hedong, who else could have uttered these words besides Guan Yu’s fellow villager, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming?

Since Guan Yu insisted on going, Xu Huang decided to help him to the end.

"Let's go quickly!"

Xu Huang wields a huge ax between Yan Liang and Wen Chou with one against two. His kung fu seems to be no match for them, but he can only attack but not defend, making it difficult for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to get away.

Guan Yu, who was driving fast, took a deep look at Xu Huang, and roared, "Guan puts righteousness first, and he would rather bear the crime than Xu Gongming!"

Immediately, Guan Yule turned his horse's head and fought with Yan Liang and Wen Chou together with Xu Huang.

Even if he can't keep the appointment on time, Guan Yu will never allow his brother to take risks alone!
At this moment, countless men in black rushed out from all directions, as if they wanted to block Guan Yu's way. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were worried that their identities would be exposed, so they retreated decisively.

Xu Huang and Guan Yu wanted to rush out, but they had already set up obstacles in front of them, and there were more than dozens of knights alone.

At this time, with a roar of "Wow, yah, yah, yah, yah!", Zhang Fei held the butcher's knife, and rode over to kill him... He was in a pinch with Guan Yu and Xu Huang, and fought his way out!

The three go forward together...

Zhang Fei and Xu Huang exchanged glances, deliberately slowing down, letting Guan Yu go first, while they stayed behind to stop the chasing cavalry.

Surprisingly...

The cavalry did not follow.

It seemed to be caught by something, and it seemed that they had never appeared before.

The whole process of rushing here, even after thinking about it afterwards, Guan Yu was still in a state of shock.

Fortunately... we have arrived.

In Guan Yu's eyes, there is nothing more cordial and pleasant than Liu Yu's "come just right"...

After calming down the throbbing in his heart, Guan Yu turned around and faced the crowd.

"I am Guan Changsheng from Jieliang, Hedong. Although I don't read much, I have also read "Spring and Autumn", and I know what a man can do and what he can't do. In Jieliang County, Hedong, Guan did kill people, a total of six people , They are all corrupt officials, local bullies, and people who work for tigers and commit heinous crimes. Besides... Guan did not do anything to anyone. Xu jailed me and rescued me from prison. I have a kindness to me. How can Guan repay his kindness? There are hundreds of women, children, and children in Thieves Pier, and Guan has never seen them before, and even a dignified man will not do anything to women, children, or children!"

"Today Liuguan mainly let the heavens judge me at noon. Hahaha, it just so happens that Guan is an imposing seven-foot man who stands up to the sky. Those who have been slaughtered will not hide, and those who have not been slaughtered will not be slandered. Haha, let God Come and judge me, if I am guilty, I shall be hacked into pieces, if I am not guilty, please ask God to prophesy and return Guan Changsheng's innocence!"

After some words...

It was only half an hour before noon.

Liu Yu opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, everyone, Guan Changsheng came here to accept the judgment of 'God', I, Liu Yu, swear to this, if he is really not wronged, then I will also investigate this case and pay him back clean!"

Liu Yu's voice has not yet fallen...

I saw people moving in the crowd, as if Sima Fang, Sili captain, led a group of officers and soldiers to capture Guan Yunchang immediately.

Such a well-known "devil" has appeared, and if he doesn't catch him, Sima Fang won't be able to do business at all.

never thought...

Countless people stopped around the high platform.

All the people shouted: "It's not until noon, the main criminal is arrested, please wait a moment!"

——"It's not until noon, and the wanted criminal is arrested, please wait a moment!"

At the beginning, there were scattered people shouting, but in the back, the crowd was excited, and everyone shouted at the top of their voices, and the sound was overwhelming.

In such a situation...

Even though Sima Fang was the captain of Sili, he didn't dare to disobey the public opinion, so he had to wait until noon to capture him!

Time flies by...

Everyone was looking at the sky, holding their breath, expecting something amazing to happen.

The entire Yulin Temple was unexpectedly quiet for a while.

——No wind, very quiet!

--very quiet!
...

...

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Longevity.

With a "click", the bamboo slips in the hall were smashed heavily on the ground, and the emperor Liu Hong was furious.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!"

In front of him, Jian Shuo, who had just arrived, bowed his head and knelt on the ground, letting the emperor scold him.

"Xiyuan School's Lieutenant Army has sent so many people? Can't stop Guan Changsheng? What do I want your Xiyuan Army to do? Guan Changsheng is a hundred times better than you all in vain!"

Liu Hong's tone was extremely cold.

"Your Majesty..." Jian Shuo lowered his head. He was especially out of breath at the moment. He rushed back to Luoyang from the outskirts of the city. He was running all the way, feeling that people were flying in front and Hun Er was chasing after him.

The same is true, and then report the first-hand information of Yulin Temple to the emperor.

But... in return, Long Yan was furious!
Finally, I calmed down...Jian Shuo reported truthfully: "There are so many masters in Yulin Guanzhong. In addition to Guan Changsheng, two more masters have been killed, Chen and more than fifty Xiyuan Junnai...they can't be helped!"

Ha ha…

Hearing this, Liu Hong went "hehe".

You know, Xiyuan School Weijun is a warrior he personally selected, every martial art is extremely strong, and Liu Hong doesn't know the three of Yulinguan who can't do anything with fifty, so should he be happy for Yu'er?Still feel sorry for yourself.

"What do you mean you can't do anything? Can't beat it? Can't you hold it off?"

"If they can kill a way, won't you catch up?"

Liu Hongyou was furious...

As soon as Guan Changsheng arrived at Yulin Temple, all this became a gamble. If he won the bet, Yu'er's reputation would double. If he lost the bet... Yu'er might never be able to lift his head.

Yu'er is not a Taoist!

He is the eldest son of the emperor!

He was chosen by Liu Hong, the future prince!

He is the future emperor of the Han Dynasty!

In this matter, he can't lose, and he can't afford to lose... Even the emperor Liu Hong, he can't bet, let alone bet.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!"

Liu Hong could only pour all his anger on Jian Shuo and Xiyuan Xiaoweijun.

"Your Majesty... We were going to chase after him, and an ambush was set up ahead, but...General Huben...General Huben..."

At the end of the sentence, Jian Shuo choked up, as if he had something to hide.

"General Huben? Wang Yue?" Liu Hong continued to ask. "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate!"

"Your Majesty... it was General Wang Yue who asked his ministers to let them go, but General Wang Yue said... said..."

"say what?"

"He said that during this period of time, he secretly protected Guanzhu Liu and got to know Guanzhu Liu better. Guanzhu Liu is not a person who takes risks. Since he has set up this game, he must have a chance to win, so he will block it. On the contrary, it was an extra problem, which destroyed Guanzhu Liu's original plan!"

Well…

Hearing Jian Shuo's words, Liu Hong's anger eased inexplicably.

"This is really what Wang Yue said."

"It's absolutely true!" Jian Shuo seemed to have seen the straw to save his life...

"Hehe." Liu Hong smiled slightly, "It seems that he knows Yu'er better than I do."

Speaking of here…

Liu Hong's mood calmed down a little, while pacing, pondering over Wang Yue's words.

Yu'er is indeed not an adventurous person!

Since he has set up this bureau, bureau... Bureau?Is this a well laid out situation?
That is, is this a trap?
But...obviously...

With this in mind, Liu Hong has already walked to the window. He likes to look up at the sky when he is thinking.

The dazzling sun and the blue sky will always bring him more inspiration.

But suddenly...

Looking up at the sky, Liu Hong suddenly discovered something.

The sun... The sun was suddenly covered by a black shadow on one side, and that side was still expanding and spreading.

That's right, it's like the boundless darkness that is gradually covering the sun and all the light in this world.

"This is…"

Suddenly, Liu Hong seemed to have figured out something.

Those bright eyes were full of astonishment. At this moment, he felt a little shocked and shocked!

This is, Tengu Eclipse Day!
Could it be... This... This is what Wang Yue said, Yu'er had planned?

The Emperor Liu Hong, who woke up from the astonishment, had only horror in his cloudy eyes, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably, trembling violently.

In the past, he never believed in ghosts, ghosts and gods, even Taoist alchemy and prophecy, from the bottom of his heart he didn't believe it at all.

But now, there is no room for him not to believe it!
The sun is being swallowed by the dog, and the world is gradually entering darkness.

This…

This!
At this time, Liu Hong had too many questions in his mind, but... in the whole world, except for his Yu'er, no one could answer him!
...

...

It was still scorching hot just now.

But all of a sudden... Yulin Temple, even the whole of Luoyang, the whole of Sili, and the whole sky of the great man, suddenly changed.

The sudden solar eclipse descended on the land of China and swept across the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.

Countless people who gathered in Yulin Temple began to discuss it one after another.

"It's 'Tengu Eclipse Day'!"

"Is this the judgment from heaven that Guanzhu Liu mentioned?"

"Tiangou eats the sun, Tiantian is angry...Guan Changsheng must have wronged, this is a disaster from heaven...to warn us."

"Then... the fire dragon in the dry well before was also God's will?"

A sentence of discussion.

The original quiet view of Yulin suddenly became extremely boiling... But when everyone was discussing, the sun was getting smaller and smaller above the sky, like a half moon, like a boat left, like a sickle...

The sky also gradually darkened.

You know, in ancient times, there were not many utensils that could emit strong light.

Unlike later generations, under a solar eclipse, you can actually still see it, because there are lights everywhere on the street.

In other words, under the ancient solar eclipse, the entire earth was infinitely darker than later generations.

And as the blue sky turned into pitch black, like a rock-like dark night, you can't see your fingers.

The entire Yulin Temple regained its tranquility.

Everyone closed their mouths tacitly, and with the sound of "click", "click", everyone knelt down towards the sky.

This is a ritual, a ritual to ask God for forgiveness!
The ancients were full of respect for the sun.

"Chun Qiu Nei Shi" said: "The sun is the mother of Yang De", which translates to that the sun is the source of all light.

"Shangshu·Hong Fan" puts forward that "the sun is the image of the sky, and the king, father, husband and brother are the answer of China", which means that the sun represents the king.

"The sun is the image of the king" said in "Li Tong"

"Yi Zhuan" puts forward: "When the sage king is above, the sun will be bright and the colors will be ready."

"Book of Rites" records that "there is no two suns in the sky, no two kings in the earth, and no two kings in the country!"

for this reason,

Whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking royal officials, they will feel awe of the sun from the bottom of their hearts.

And "solar eclipse", no... To be precise, "Tiangou eclipse the sun" means that God is angry.

When God got angry, the common people stopped being in awe, but changed into taboo.

Regardless of the big man, it is the same for any country and any tribe in the world.

On May 585, 5 BC, on the Iranian Plateau, soldiers from the Kingdom of Medes and the Kingdom of Lydia were fighting when suddenly their eyes went dark and the sun disappeared.

The two warring parties were so frightened that they threw down the weapons in their hands and did not want to fight anymore. The generals of the two sides even made an appointment not to fight any more. They thought it was God's fault!

In the summer of 1030, the famous "Battle of Stickerstad" took place in Norway in Northern Europe. It was also because of the solar eclipse that both sides were terrified and said that they could no longer fight.

But the Norwegian king "Olaf" was relatively rigid and insisted that his soldiers continue to fight. As a result, he was killed in the battle. The soldiers on both sides said that Olaf was cursed by the sun.

Besides, during the Three Kingdoms period, during the Battle of Guandu, a solar eclipse also occurred on September [-]st in the fifth year of Jian'an.

Yuan Shao made a decisive truce, but Cao Cao did not believe in evil, and launched a general attack on Yuan Shao on the day of the solar eclipse. Unfortunately... Cao Cao did not escape the curse, and returned in a big defeat.

Inspired by the Confucian idea of ​​"response between heaven and man"...

The emperors of the Han Dynasty adhered to the governance concept of "the sage is like the one", and from the special celestial phenomenon of the solar eclipse, the emperors paid more attention to "reform and repair the government"!
The so-called "solar eclipse, the main action conceals the light, Yongsai. Changing one's body and politics is to remove lawlessness."

As for how to "reform", of course someone has to take the blame!

Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, as long as there was a solar eclipse, one of the three princes had to be dismissed to make atonement with his ministers.

It is for this reason that the big man has achieved the position of Sangong!

It seems to be high above, but what they are most worried about is nothing but the solar eclipse.

In the Han Dynasty, more than one hundred Sangongs were dismissed because of the solar eclipse, and they will never be reused.

This is easy to understand. Under the Confucian idea that the monarch is ordered by heaven, which emperor would dare to violate the warning of heaven?
...

"Oops!"

Looking outside Yulin, in a luxurious carriage, such a voice suddenly came out, and it was the same voice of the two.

Apart from Grand Tutor Yuan Kui and Sikong Yuan Feng, who else could speak out?
Isn't it just "bad"?

The sudden appearance of the solar eclipse shattered all their original plans. This is no longer a question of whether "Guan Changsheng" was wronged or not.

The development of the matter has reached the point of no return.

It has even developed to the point that... it's hard to get overwhelmed!
According to the usual practice, under the solar eclipse, the big man is bound to depose one of the three men to appease the wrath of God.

And the dismissed Sangong is bound to be involved in the "Guan Changsheng" case.

Taiwei Qiaoxuan supported Liu Yu, the master of Yulin Temple, and he was the safest.

Hongnong Yang, Da Situ Yang Ci, did not stand in line, he is also safe...

Then...

Then...the person who will be dismissed this time will definitely be...Sikong Yuanfeng who stood at the opposite side of Yulin Temple in the "Guan Changsheng" case.

To know…

After careful investigation, the source of Guan Changsheng's case lies in Jieliang County, Hedong!
And everyone knew that Yan He, the magistrate of Xieliang County who was imprisoned by Changsheng, was a disciple of Sikong Yuanfeng.

--Oops!
- It's over!
Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai looked at each other, and only the word "despair" was left in each other's eyes. This means that the building is about to collapse!
——Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money...

this time…

The Yuan family in Runan really lifted a rock and threw it at his own foot!

What was also smashed was bloody!
"My God, my God, how can you help this Taoist, don't... help my Yuan family?"

Yuan Feng's extremely depressing but low-pitched cry... muffled in the carriage.

At this moment, he felt like the sky was falling!

Runan Yuan's sky is falling!

...
