People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 589 Public Meeting

In the Changsha military camp, Xu Chen stood in the main tent, looking at the huge map hanging on the side. On the map was the map of the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty. This map once showed the vast territory of the Han Dynasty, but now it has changed owners.

The Han Dynasty has long ceased to exist, and the so-called Three Kingdoms of Wu, Shu and Wei are just a splash in the long river of history, with no trace left. The land of China is given a name again, but it is called Xuanxia.

Xu Chen looked at the map quietly. Everywhere he saw was the land of Xuanxia, ​​with only one exception.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the tent, and a guard came to report: "Master, everyone at the venue has arrived, and we are waiting for you to arrive."

"Got it. I'll be there right away." Xu Chen came back to his senses, finally moved his eyes away from the map, and walked out of the tent.

When you step out of the tent, you will see a clear sky. The temperature is neither too high nor too low under the sunlight, which is very comfortable and makes people feel better.

Of course, everyone in the Yellow Turbans was in a very happy mood at this time. After all, they had just won the most important battle and truly completed the great cause of the Divine Religion.

As Xu Chen walked along, he could see that most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were in a relaxed state. Some were gathered together chatting and laughing, while others were conducting some organized activities under the leadership of officers. Only when they saw Xu Chen approaching would they withdraw from their respective activities and salute Xu Chen to greet him.

Xu Chen returned the greetings along the way and stopped to say a few words from time to time. He was somewhat infected by the youthful spirit of the soldiers.

It’s not like the Yellow Turbans haven’t won battles before, but there’s never been this kind of atmosphere. After all, if nothing unexpected happens this time, this might be the last battle before the Yellow Turbans lay down their arms and return to the countryside. Even if there may be some more battles later, they will not be wars of the national level like this one.

Even for these Yellow Turban warriors, compared to fighting on the battlefield, it is better to go home and live with their wives and children. After the war in China is completely settled, the feeling of relaxation and joy will spontaneously burst out.

When the world is at peace, people can live their lives in peace. This is the most basic pursuit of the general public.

Just walking forward, Xu Chen soon saw a meeting place in front of him. Above the meeting place was a wooden platform, on which Wang Dang, Lu Ping and others had already taken their seats, and below sat many people dressed in scholars' clothes.

After Xu Chen entered the venue, everyone stood up and greeted Xu Chen, and Xu Chen smiled and nodded in response.

The venue became quiet again only after Xu Chen walked onto the wooden platform and sat down in the center.

Wang Dang glanced at Xu Chen, and after Xu Chen nodded, he coughed, stood up, and announced to everyone present: "Thank you to all my colleagues and staff for participating in this post-war public meeting. Now that everyone is here, the meeting can begin!"

As soon as Wang Dang finished speaking, everyone in the group applauded, and the meeting began.

The generals sitting at the top were all calm and composed. They had made preparations long ago. They also had ideas about what questions the interviewers below would ask, so they were confident in how to deal with them.

Today's Xuanxia publications are not just an official Xuanxia monthly newspaper. There are also various private publications and newspapers. The paper media industry is already well-established. Therefore, not only the reporters of Xuanxia Monthly are present this time, but also the best people from private newspapers are invited.

After the war, the court can also use this public meeting to convey some information to the outside world, and also use it to publicize and affirm the achievements of this battle. "Excuse me, General Wang, our army's great victory in this battle is gratifying, but it also took a long time. When I visited the military camp and saw our soldiers, there were almost no bored and negative ones. Instead, they were all in high spirits. This is really surprising. I really want to know how our army can keep the soldiers in such a state of mind during such a long and arduous battle."

I saw an official standing up and asking questions to Wang Dang, the commander of the Yellow Turbans.

Wang Dang was not surprised by this kind of question. Winning a battle was a great joy, so naturally he would give more affirmation to the good things done in the battle. It was also a recognition of the soldiers in the army.

"That's a good question. This battle did take a long time, and it was not easy for the soldiers."

Wang Dang laughed, and then couldn't help but sighed: "Like the soldiers of Wu and Shu, most of them were demoralized and weak-willed in the end. Why is that? It's because they don't know why they are fighting. But our soldiers are well aware of their mission. This war is not for one family, but for thousands of families. Everyone knows that this war is for themselves, so naturally they won't get bored."

As soon as Wang Dang finished speaking, everyone nodded. This answer was considered extremely accurate.

The biggest difference between the Wu-Shu army and the Yellow Turbans is the nature of the two armies. This fundamental difference determines everything about the two. This question and answer clearly demonstrates the advanced nature of Xuanxia and the Yellow Turbans, and this is the significance of holding a press conference.

Immediately afterwards, another official stood up and asked questions to Zhao Yun.

"In this battle, General Zhao personally killed Liu Bei, the monarch of Shu Han, and made a great contribution. But I heard that the general and Liu Bei had worked together under Yuan Shao before, and they had a very good personal relationship. I wonder how General Zhao felt when he had to face his old friend in this battle."

When asked this question, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Yun, and they all became curious.

Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and finally let out a sigh, but he didn't hide it.

"Xuan De is actually quite benevolent and righteous. He is a rare wise leader among the princes of the Han Dynasty. For me, killing my friend with my own hands is a painful thing. However, if the route is wrong, everything is wrong. Since he stands against the people, I can only bear the pain and kill him."

Hearing this answer, everyone looked sad. They could all feel Zhao Yun's emotional grief.

Although Xuan Xia and the princes were in opposition, everyone could understand Zhao Yun's feelings. After all, relatively speaking, among the princes, Liu Bei was the most benevolent and righteous person, and he did have his own powerful charm.

Even within Xuanxia, ​​the evaluation of Liu Bei was not low.

With the two questions, the atmosphere of the public meeting gradually became better. Questions came out one after another, and many details of the battle were also disclosed.

Of course, as the core figure of this public meeting, Xu Chen could not avoid being asked questions.

"May I ask, Master, after this battle, Xuanxia has taken over all twelve states in the world, and only Liangzhou is still isolated. What is the court's plan for liberating Liangzhou?"
