Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 232 Zhang Fei: Back off, my son-in-law is going to start pretending!

The clan of the Han Dynasty.

No, to be precise, it was the scum of the Han Dynasty——Liu Ye.

After this "clothes edict" happened, Liu Ye of Dong Cheng's family was beheaded for Cao Cao's supervisor;

In this battle of Guandu, I offered a thunderbolt chariot to help Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao's Liu Ye;

Under his persuasion, Liu Xun in Huainan and Zhang Xiu in Wancheng surrendered their soil to Cao and fought against Yuan's Liu Ye together;

According to the original trajectory of history, Liu Ye, who represented Cao Pi on behalf of Han and volunteered to grab the sleeve of Emperor Xian of Han with Hua Xin, forced him to abdicate!
If you look at it from Cao Wei's point of view, this Liu Ye is the elder of the three dynasties, and he is simply a loyal minister.

But from the point of view of the Han Dynasty, this Liu Ye is simply an arrogance to the clan of the Han Dynasty, and he is simply not worthy of being a descendant of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

嗏

In Guan Lin's view.

From the perspective of the general trend of the world, Liu Ye is actually the more sober one than Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

The biggest reason why he returned to Cao and not to Han was that he realized that the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty had already formed, and it was difficult to turn the tide...

I also know that in the face of the general situation, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are nothing but mantis arms and carts, and they will surely lose in the end!

And the source of all this is that the backbone and beliefs of the Han family built with great difficulty by Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Guangwu completely collapsed during the period of Emperor Huan Ling.

Liu Bei said——"Is it possible that you don't sigh and hate Yu Huan Ling?"

What Liu Bei hated the most in his life was not Dong Zhuo, nor Cao Cao, but the Second Emperor Huan Ling who caused the collapse of the Han Dynasty!
Isn't that the case with Liu Ye?

It's just that Liu Bei's choice is to hate while facing difficulties, and clean up the mess left by the second emperor Huanling.

Liu Ye chose to go with the flow, a good bird chooses a tree...following the trend.

From this point of view, it has nothing to do with loyalty... It's just the collapse of faith, the separation of Han souls, and a personal choice.

The reason why Guan Lin wrote the article "Going to Zi to catch roast"...

It's because, before crossing... Guan Lin's belief also collapsed briefly.

Precisely because of this incident of "going into Zizi to catch the roast", his faith and hope were rekindled.

Once upon a time, before the incident of "going into Zizi for roasting" happened, whenever Guan Lin went out, he must be prepared to be slaughtered at any time.

"Traveling" is almost equated with "being slaughtered", and "going out to play" and "happiness" are drifting away.

But until the appearance of this incident, Guan Lin felt that he saw the light again.

It turns out that there are really people who can take the "way of hospitality" to the extreme, regard "not slaughtering guests" as the criterion, and write the words "good government and harmonious people" on the palm of their hand and imprinted deep in their hearts.

There are indeed cities that can be in the cracks, under the scarcity of resources, and with their determination and touch, can bring hope to the people here and to the people of the whole world!
Isn't it the same in today's Han Dynasty?
They stand among the mountains of Cao Wei, lingering on their last breath, and will be overthrown at any time...

Children in the north and the Central Plains know Cao Wei, but they no longer know Han.

Scholars in the North and Central Plains are proud to be Wei officials, and ashamed to be Han officials.

The 400-year history of the great Han has been deeply rooted... the imprint of "the fate of the Han" in the minds of the elites, scholars, and common people has gradually dissipated in people's hearts.

The appearance of the Second Emperor Huan Ling completely extinguished the flame of hope and belief, and even poured a basin of cold water on it, for fear that the Han Dynasty would "resurrection"?
This is Liu Ye...

As a result, a large number of clans in the Central Plains, scholars in the north, and clansmen of the Han Dynasty betrayed the Han Dynasty and switched to Cao Wei.

After all...their belief in Han has collapsed, and they have no hope at all!
——"Liu Ye pinned his hopes on Cao Cao! 』

——"On this point, I really have to learn from Zicheng in the 'summer of the [-] year and spring of the year of Guimao', how to instill hope and faith in the world and this Liu Ye again with limited resources. 』

Zicheng of later generations moved the world with "good government and harmonious people".

Today's Shu Han is far from being well-off in politics and harmonious in people.

But Shu Han has a unique romance.

Guan Lin's purpose is to ignite this romance, so that the flame of romance can once again ignite Ji Han's hope of Zhongxing.

Once, the vast sea of ​​flames of the big man is no longer there.

But—a single spark can still start a prairie fire!

Thinking of this... Guan Lin finally swallowed a mouthful of bread, and he got up. "Old Huang, I also ate the barbecue, and I have figured things out. I have important things tonight, so I won't play chess with you."

While talking, Guan Lin stood up and made a gesture to leave.

Huang Chengyan intentionally showed displeasure, "It's good for you, come and leave as soon as you say, just like your own home, my daughter and son-in-law are not as presumptuous as you."

"Haha..." Guan Lin smiled, "When did Lao Huang become so stingy? Besides, I really have something to do. Now that I understand it, I have to go all out and give Liu Ye a good time tonight." one class."

Well…

Huang Chengyan was slightly taken aback. He mentioned Guan Lin's new article "Going to Zizi for Roasting" and asked, "Just because of this?"

Guan Lin nodded, "Yes, this article is too advanced, you may not be able to understand it, Lao Huang, but... if you read it carefully, in fact... the whole article is actually written in four words!"

"Which four words?"

"Faith! Hope—"

Guan Lin's words were serious.

Speaking of this, he raised his hand boldly: "Let's go...Old Huang, eat slowly and drink less wine."

While greeting Huang Chengyan, Guan Lin didn't forget to order his subordinates to play.

"Tell my father, there is also news that I, Guan Lin, will be persuading the enemy general to surrender at the courtroom of the thief Cao Yu tonight. Anyone who is interested in civil and military affairs can come and see. My son will show them!"

This side...

Guan Lin walked away slowly.

On the other side, Huang Chengyan couldn't help but stay on Guan Lin's "article" again.

The words in the article came into view one by one.

——"In the summer of [-], Ma Gong was appointed as the prefect of Zizhou, and all industries were waiting for prosperity. In the spring of Guimao... My generation is in the field of utilitarianism, but Zizhou, Kangqu smoke and moon, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious... Huaijin holds Yu, burns the furnace to entertain guests, and celebrates Words and deeds, generosity and virtue, make the sea turbulent, drive horses and chariots, and the people enter Zizi to catch the roast."

——"Zhou has the 'Precious and Useful Eight Things' handed down for hundreds of generations, and today there is the 'Zicheng Food Theory' that has been passed down for thousands of years.

——"Zizhou government warns the people: the way of heaven is not full, first practice diligence and then be modest, first have the knowledge of open-mindedness and light, and then have the fun of tranquility and harmony. See kung fu between advance and retreat. Therefore, the great fortune comes out, Nine purples and fires make all the post-horses move, the red luan stars unite, the yuan Henry is chaste, the water and fire are in harmony, the fireworks of a city rise from the eaves, and thousands of clouds and mountains are seated."

——"This city has worked hard for thousands of years to 'burn', and once the world knows it, remembering the virtues of Ma Gong, I will never end my grace, and I will be honored every time it is prosperous! Fortunately, it is even good, singing to sing!"

This…

Huang Chengyan was feeling emotional while reading.

——"Isn't it just eating a barbecue?This kid Yunqi, why... did he eat so much writing and ink! 』

And when he read the last sentence, Huang Chengyan murmured: "Fortunately, it's a good song to sing about ambition... This article is eloquent and well written... But how can we see faith? See hope? And...Zizhou Prefecture? Where? Is it Zizhou Prefecture?"

Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan shook his head.

For a while, countless curiosity arose in my heart about whether Guan Lin could successfully persuade Liu Ye to surrender.

...

...

In the Guan family mansion at night, an unextinguished oil lamp was flickering, and Guan Yu's frowning expression was reflected in the dim light.

Zhang Fei stood in front of Guan Yu.

He opened his mouth in a hurry: "Second brother? You should express your opinion on this matter! If you agree, I will go back and tell my elder brother."

What came out of Zhang Fei's mouth was naturally the engagement of Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai.

It stands to reason...

The third brother, Zhang Fei, specifically talked about this matter, Guan Yu shouldn't hesitate, let alone... the brotherhood of Jinlan is in front, and a family of children is added.

only…

"Third brother..." Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes narrowed, "Children's marriage is supposed to be the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Xingcai is also a good child. I am satisfied to be my daughter-in-law, but Yunqi's words..."

Guan Yu pondered and said: "You also know Yunqi's temperament. If you say east for brother, he will definitely go west. If brother doesn't talk about this marriage, maybe you can let nature take its course, but once you say it for brother, you won't be able to protect this brat. You're going to be at war with me again, saying I'm messing up the mandarin ducks!"

Zhang Fei couldn't hear it, Guan Yu meant it.

Guan Lin is a special brat. Others are ordered by his parents and a matchmaker, but he...hehe, if he doesn't agree, then the marriage will not be settled at all.

"I'm not afraid of this..." Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry about this. My wife treats me, it's just a matter of time... Besides, now I let Xingcai stay by Yunqi's side and protect him well. Now, the relationship will naturally be there. Having said that, my wife and I have been in love for such a long time. I think back then, I was with my wife for a month, and the child was pregnant. Haha, love love love Isn't that what happened?"

This…

Guan Yu was taken aback by Zhang Fei's words.

Guan Yu didn't even know what to say about Zhang Fei.

Is it innocent?
Still don't understand at all!

As a father, can you send your daughter... out like this?
If the younger siblings of the Xiahou clan knew about it, what would happen?
"Third brother... At least you have to discuss this matter with your Mrs. Xiahou. She is Xingcai's mother... her daughter's marriage, her nod!"

"Second brother, you are making things complicated." Zhang Fei waved his hand, "Back then we fought fiercely with Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan, but I married Xia Houyuan's niece and daughter forcibly? This matter... Where is Xia Houyuan's wife? Agree? According to me, it's not that complicated at all."

Guan Yu reminded again. "Marriage is an important matter, we can't play it, at least we have to let our elder brother nod, and we have to let Military Master Zhuge know about it."

Zhang Fei scratched his head, "Let me just say, elder brother and second elder brother have read too much of this book, so it's troublesome... But, it's easy to say, I will go back to Chengdu tomorrow, and I will tell elder brother, military advisor, and others when I get there. My wife, hehe, second brother, come back next time, I’m here to receive the dowry.”

Zhang Fei was smiling, but he found that his second brother Guan Yu was always stern, as if he had something on his mind.

After a quick brain circuit, Zhang Fei scratched his head and added another question, "Second brother, don't you think that my daughter is not good enough for Yunqi?"

this…

When Zhang Fei asked this, Guan Yu felt a little embarrassed immediately.

Let’s talk about the past, not to mention the third brother’s daughter, just any woman... Guan Yu would burn incense if she could marry Yunqi, a "rebellious son", because this is the virtue accumulated by her ancestors.

But now, Yunqi made meritorious service again and again, his actions and resourcefulness amazed Guan Yu again and again.

Although he still yelled "Nizi" and "Stinky boy", the more he yelled, the more he couldn't hide Guan Yu's concern for this brat.

This is what Guan Yu gave birth to - "Kirin'er"!

In terms of talent...

The words of the third brother's daughter, Zhang Xingcai, are indeed somewhat...

Guan Yu was hesitating.

"Father, Third Uncle..." Seeing Guan Yinping and Guan Suo rushing in, the two bowed their hands to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Judging from their cheeks, they were in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Ma sent someone to report that the fourth younger brother is going to interrogate Liu Ye at night under Cao Cao..." Guan Yinping reported truthfully.

——『Is this worth reporting specifically? 』

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

——"Then Liu Ye is Jiang Xia's general, and Yun Qi is Jiang Xia's prefect. Even if he is interrogated at night, it is reasonable, so we shouldn't make a fuss, right? 』

Guan Yu is still thinking about it.

Guan Suo continued: "The fourth brother said... tonight, he can make this Liu Ye surrender, and...he said that all civil and military can go and see, he wants to make a show for all civil and military, and teach them How to persuade the enemy generals of Cao Wei to surrender!"

This…

Hearing this, Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes instantly opened.

——"Yunqi, what a bold tone! 』

You know, in this Jiangling city... there is no lack of civil and military personnel to persuade Liu Ye to surrender.

Liu Ye's hometown is also good;

It is also good for those who are also clan members of the Han Dynasty;
Even Ma Liang, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, and even Guan Yu himself went to persuade them.

But this Liu Ye had eaten the weight and became determined. He insisted not to be a minister of Han, but a minister of Wei.

——"Yun Qi dares to say that he can be persuaded to surrender tonight? 』

Immediately, Guan Yu hurriedly said: "So, I really have to go and have a look."

Zhang Fei also hurriedly said, "I'm going too!"

The impatience on his face seemed to say:

——"When everyone backs off, my son-in-law is going to start pretending!"

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went out...

Just as Zhang Xingcai was rushing here, she called out, "Father...Second Uncle..."

It seems that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't notice him and drove away directly.

On the other hand, Guan Suo and Guan Yinping who came out from behind stopped in front of Zhang Xingcai's temple. Judging from their expressions, they also looked in a hurry.

Zhang Xingcai hurriedly asked, "Sister Yinping? Wei's younger brother? What are you doing?"

Guan Yinping had a shocked expression, "Xingcai? You're by Yunqi's side? Don't you know? Yunqi threatened tonight...to persuade Liu Ye to surrender!"

ah... ah...

Zhang Xingcai was startled, but before she could react, she had already been dragged away by Guan Yinping.

——Tonight's thief, Cao Yu, is destined to be very lively.

...

...

At sunset, in the prison of Jiangling City.

Cao Cao's Sikongcang Cao Ju and Bo Liuye used stones to write a word on the wall of the cell, which happened to be a sentence.

Zhuge Ke whispered: "A good bird chooses a tree, and a good minister chooses a master!"

He shook his head, "You are really stubborn!"

"Hehe, I wrote these eight words to remind myself that the eighth person is here." Liu Ye looked straight at Zhuge Ke quietly, "It's a pity that you are the eighth person who came to persuade you to surrender. It has been decided, I will not surrender."

"I just checked. Mr. Liu's parents, wives and concubines are gone. There is only one son, who is an official in Shouchun. After you were captured, he rushed over immediately. I think your son's thoughts, Mr. Liu Should be the clearest, right?"

Zhuge Ke asked tentatively.

"It's clear." Liu Ye said with emotion: "He doesn't want me to dare to betray Prime Minister Cao because of his safety, so he can't make a choice, but...how does this son know my intentions? Everyone thinks that I, Liu Ye, am the clan of the Han Dynasty , You can’t bow down to serve Cao because of your talents. But who really knows me, knowing that Liu Ye’s serving Cao is from the heart!”

"From the age of 20, Duke Cao sent an envoy to see me, saying that he wanted to use me again. I cut off the head of Zheng Bao, the bandit leader, in front of the envoy. Everyone flocked to me, and they were willing to recommend me as the new leader to help the Han Dynasty. But I know that the Han Dynasty has been rotten since the two emperors Huan and Ling... so rotten to the bone marrow that it cannot be helped at all, that is when I followed Cao Gong, and it has been 30 years in a flash!"

Liu Ye narrates his experience...

The words are full of reverence for Cao Cao, hope for Cao Wei, and disdain for the Han Dynasty.

This made Zhuge Ke feel extremely uncomfortable. He pointed to Liu Ye and said, "Cao Cao is a traitor of the Han Dynasty. As a member of the Han family, you are helping the evildoers."

"Han thief? Hehe? Han thief? Hahahaha..." In Liu Ye's laughter...

In addition to the admiration for Cao Cao, there is only a deep contempt for Zhuge Ke.

"What do you know, Zongzi? Have you cast five-color sticks to beat powerful people? Have you ever been a county magistrate, and issued ten crimes to punish powerful people? Have you ever given advice from Yilang? Have you ever pretended to serve a director? Have you ever When the princes of the Eighteenth Routes were begging for Dong, the lords cared about themselves, and I headed west, even if I returned in a big defeat, I still did not lose my original intention, and shouted out the lofty sentiments of "Zhi Zi is not enough and seeks"?"

The more Liu Ye talked, the more energetic he became.

"If there is no Duke Cao, today's emperors of the Han Dynasty would not know where they live in exile, live in the wind, sleep in the open, and be displaced... If there is no Duke Cao to coerce the emperor to make the princes? Have you ever thought about how many people are still called emperors in the world today? People call themselves kings?"

"You bastard, you have no hair on your mouth, yet you open your mouth and keep calling Mr. Cao a Han thief? Hehe... How do you know what a thief is? Those who steal hooks are punished, and those who steal the country are princes. The Han Dynasty has collapsed and dispersed. After a great chaos, there should be a great order, and it is logical for Cao Gong to replace the Han, and Cao Gong is the one whose destiny belongs!"

This--

For a while, Zhuge Ke was rendered speechless by Liu Ye's refutation...

This is the second time he has fallen into a disadvantage in a verbal confrontation after the battle with Guan Lintong.

"Cough cough..."

Just then, there was a coughing sound.

Zhuge Ke turned his head, only to see that Guan Lin had already appeared in front of the prison door...

Zhuge Ke didn't know when Guan Lin came.

Can…

Undoubtedly, he must have heard the sharpest part of Liu Ye, and also saw the part that Zhuge Ke was unable to refute.

"Tap-"

Follow Guan Lin into the prison.

"My lord..." Zhuge Ke hastily cupped his hands.

Guan Lin signaled that there is no need to salute, and he walked slowly in front of Liu Ye.

Liu Ye said calmly: "So you are Guan Yu's fourth son Guan Lin Guan Yunqi!"

"It doesn't matter who I am." Guan Lin said lightly: "I just heard you say that Cao Cao beat the powerful with five-colored sticks? Ten crimes were issued to punish bullies, Yilang gave advice, pretended to serve Dong, and 'Masters' For my own sake, I looked westward to '...and those 'who are the emperor? How many are the kings'!"

When Guan Lin said this, Liu Ye directly asked, "Does the Fourth Young Master think this is not true?"

"Really! It's true!" Guan Lin said with a smile, "However, look at both sides of everything...Mr. Liu only saw this, why didn't he see it? Xu You made great contributions to Cao Cao's victory in the Battle of Guandu, and helped Cao Cao attack He went down to Nanpi City and unified the northern territory, but in the end... he was hacked by Cao Cao's Tiger Marquis Xu Chu! His head was in a different place."

"Kong Rong took the lead in defecting to the court in the first year of the establishment of the court in Xudu, and actively responded to Cao Cao's participation in the government. As a result... it was only seven years ago, and he was punished by Cao Cao! When he died, his daughter was only seven years old, and the boy was only At the age of nine, the two were playing chess at home when they heard the bad news and were unmoved."

"People asked them? Why didn't you two run away? They said, there are no eggs under the cover of the nest? Sure enough...Cao Cao didn't even let them go. Before the execution, the girl said to the boy, 'If the deceased knows , to see our parents, isn’t it our greatest wish! The Kong family is still transparent!”

"Lou Gui is an old acquaintance of Cao Cao. During the process of Cao Cao's pacification of Yongliang, he defected to Cao Cao...and made great contributions in the battle to defeat Ma Chao. Cao Cao admired his wise plan and said, "Zi Bo's plan is not as good as alone." But in the end , just because Cao Cao and his sons went out to play together, and Lou Gui accompanied him, but he was killed by Cao Cao because of his inappropriate words!"

"Not to mention Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun, 'Cao Cao gave him food, but the hair was empty, so he drank the medicine and died.' Would you like me, Guan Lin, to tell you this in detail, why did Cao Cao give it to you? An empty food box for Xun Lingjun? This is to tell him that there will be no 'Han Lu to eat'! I remember... After Cao Cao became the 'Duke Wei', a movable type was added to the gate of the newly built palace. Yang Xiu said yes Broad, but... Broad a hammer, this is what Cao Cao said, only those who 'entered the Duke of Wei' can live? May I ask, since Cao Cao became Duke of Wei? Have all those who did not enter the Duke of Wei disappeared? "

"If these people are not enough, what about Lu Boshe, who made Cao Cao recite the phrase 'Ning teach me to betray the world, don't ask the world to betray me'? That Cao Cao told his concubine to 'sleep with me' when he was sleeping, but because Seeing that Cao Cao was in a deep sleep, he didn't wake him up. What about the concubine who was finally executed? What about the poor soldier who was killed in Cao Cao's dream? That Cao Zhi's wife was implicated because she was born in the Qinghe Cui family and because her father was convicted of a crime. What about the daughter-in-law who was ordered by Cao Cao to wear gorgeous clothes and pay back the family to death for disobedience? Isn’t the life of these people life?”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin stood in front of Liu Ye, his brows were frowned, and his eyes were round and round...

His tone was meticulous and serious.

"So, let me ask you now, what is it? What I'm talking about is the real Cao Cao—"

"It's still what you Liu Ye said, it's the real Cao Cao—"

...
