Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1663 Guan Yu's Sword (Jia Geng repays the debt...)

After the sky gradually brightened, the fire gradually subsided. Looking out from the city wall of Dingzao, there was black smoke far and near, and some sporadic fires were still burning, and even the ground was scorched. dark.

Below the city, there were soldiers dragging and throwing the corpses that died nearby to the bottom of the cliff. The corpses were like broken puppets, spinning slightly in the air, and then fell into the valley with a puff. .

  In the sky, there are more than a dozen crows screaming. I don’t know if they are sad that their house has been destroyed, or they are happy that there are more ingredients to eat...

  The blood has been dried, and there is a choking smell all around. Mixed with the smell of charcoal fire is the smell of sulfur dioxide produced by burning protein, which makes everyone breathe carefully, otherwise they may choke it out in the next moment.

  Overnight, the outcome changed.

  Liu Bei stood on the city wall and sighed slightly, "If we can know where the Ruoren's stronghold is, this achievement will be all in one battle...It's a pity..."

  Zhang Fei also nodded. In the battle last night, in order to ensure Liu Bei's safety, Zhang Fei didn't dare to rush too far, but he just killed two Ruoren, which was really not enjoyable, and he felt that he didn't enjoy himself.

  Both Liu Bei and Zhang Fei have seen countless tragic situations of life and death. In the early days, they still had fear and compassion, but after seeing many of them, some numbness remained. When the Changshe was caught fire, Liu Bei even remembered standing on the earthen slope, his body trembling as if resonating with the heaven and the earth, his ears were full of buzzing sounds, the awareness of death and the hidden behind Fear, the bloodthirsty impulse and the lingering fear after being injured are all mixed together, and now there is no such feeling, only the regret that I can't do it all...

   "Dingzhen is difficult to defend..." Liu Bei said, his voice was somewhat hoarse because he hadn't slept all night, "When the ashes of the fire are exhausted, we will retreat to the military stronghold first...Defend Panshan Que..."

In the collision with Ruoren, Liu Bei also felt a lot of pressure, not to say that he could not fight, but for Liu Bei, the inability to replenish soldiers was a major problem that was difficult to alleviate, so he continued to fight in Dingze and Ruoren Consumption is not an excellent choice.

   "Brother! But..." Zhang Fei felt unwilling.

  Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's arm, and said: "We have taken down Ding Ruo, and repelled several attacks by the Ruo people. We did our best... and judging from this attack by the Ruo people... I am afraid it is not very simple..."

  Zhang Fei was taken aback.

  Liu Bei sighed, and said: "We are few people... After all, we will suffer a bit... But since we have taken the Dingzuo, we must have a share of the minerals here... It's good to take a step back, so that some people don't rush to rush..."

   Zhang Fei was furious when he heard the words, and he slapped the battlements with his palm, smashing the ruined battlements to the ground, "These cowards! Do what a villain does behind the scenes!"

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Someone just saw that there seems to be some changes in the Zoren's weapon... It may not be true... So don't mention this matter again, and it will be clear in the future... Let's retreat, let's retreat... Garrison Panshan Que !"

   Liu Bei suddenly laughed, with a bright face: "This battle has made the third brother famous! It should not make the thieves underestimate!"

  Zhang Fei couldn't help it, laughed ahaha, then touched the back of his head, and said, "It's all my brother's idea, I just have a little strength..."

Liu Bei laughed, his eyes narrowed, as if he was very happy, but in fact Liu Bei lacked energy in his heart, and now being forced to retreat does not mean that Liu Bei gave up Ding Ruo, but pulled out to facilitate himself Take a look and see if someone is really behind the scenes!

  ………(￣ェ￣;)(￣◇￣;)┐……

  Guan Yu stood outside the Chengdu government office with his hands behind his back, his face solemn.

Since he was injured, Guan Yu has been raised in Guanghan. Because of the serious injury, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei couldn't follow him when they went to Dingzhen. Guan Yu couldn't stay any longer, and came to Chengdu to look for Xu Shu, intending to lead some soldiers to Dingze for support.

Guan Yu does not agree with Hussar General Fei Qian, nor does he think that he belongs to Hussar General Fei Qian. He does not believe that he can live in harmony with Hussar General Fei Qian. Lost comrades?

During this period of recuperation, Guan Yu couldn't do other things, he could only keep thinking about the previous Sichuan-Shu battle, a little bit of memory, a little bit of reflection, and then Guan Yu found that he seemed to have fallen into the calculation from the very beginning …

  This feeling made Guan Yu very painful and guilty.

  Alone, want to do something, why is it so difficult?

  Liu Bei came from a very humble background, and Guan Yu actually knew that. Although Liu Bei only claimed that he was the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, Guan Yu also knew what this so-called title was all about. Guan Yu respects Liu Bei, not because Liu Bei has such an identity, but because, like Guan Yu himself, he is a person who really climbed up from the bottom, stood up straight and wanted to climb high...

What Liu Bei talked about the most was his dream. He wanted to save the poor people from endless wars, live in a stable and comfortable environment, and be able to have food and clothing. This is enough. As for what? Guan Yu didn't care much about high officials and generous salary.

  As for Hussar General Fei Qian...

   Guan Yu didn't believe him. Guan Yu doesn't believe that a person from a gentry would really consider for the common people. A gentry is capable and knowledgeable, but in the end it's for themselves. It's impossible in the world to be able to truly think for ordinary poor people. Have!

   After so many years, it’s like after the Yellow Turbans were pacified, those who can get better positions and better rewards are not all those who have some gentry status? And his three brothers, the hard work of killing the enemy is not as good as those children of the aristocratic family who didn't go to the battlefield at all, but just stood on the sidelines shouting and cheering!

   So why would Hussar General Fei Qian be any different?

Guan Yu believes that at this stage Hussars General Fei Qian's actions are just for the purpose of dominating Sichuan and Shu, controlling Guanzhong, and further breaking away from the control of the court. Such actions are actually not much different from those previous national thieves. gender difference. Guan Yu thought in his heart that he still belonged to the big man. No matter what the emperor was, he would always be loyal to the court and the society. Although Guan Yu also faintly felt that this idea was a bit out of touch with the current situation, Guan Yu was still very stubborn. It must be like this, and this is the only way, no matter how much time is spent, no matter how much effort is put in, it is always necessary to assist the emperor and revive the court, and a local separatist guy like Hussar General Fei Qian will be court sooner or later the scourge of...

  Guan Yu's personality is very aloof and arrogant, and his temper is a little stubborn. He is not very tolerant, narrow-minded, and holds grudges. Although Guan Yu does not admit these things on the surface, it is true in fact. Otherwise, in history, there would not be any unhappiness with all parties in Jingzhou because of some things, which would eventually lead to leaving Maicheng.

  But Guan Yu also knows how to endure. Under certain conditions, he knows how to endure his temper for a goal, unlike Zhang Fei, who explodes when he touches it if he understands it or not...

Guan Yu believes that the failure of the previous battle was due to his overestimation of his own strength on the one hand, and insufficient attention and attention to Hussar General Fei Qian on the other hand, which led to deviations at the beginning of the battle , an inevitable failure.

At the moment, the most important thing is not to turn against Hussar General Fei Qian immediately, but to accumulate the power to restore oneself, the power that truly belongs to oneself, and those from outside are unreliable. The failure of Sichuan and Shu has proved this point. Falling over the same place twice.

What's more, Guan Yu is not optimistic about General Hussars Fei Qian. The power of Generals Hussars is too huge now, and under such a huge territory, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Shandong gentry, and the front from north to south is too big. Long, a little carelessness will cause the balance to be broken, and it may be overturned in the blink of an eye...

   At that time, I will find another opportunity to return the favor of Hussar General Fei Qian.

  "General Guan..." The official of the government office came out from the door, "Mr. Xu has a request..."

   "I'm sorry." Guan Yu cupped his hands and followed the little official forward.

  ……φ(￣ー￣)……

  Xu Shu is currently dealing with various government affairs in the Chengdu government office.

  Now Hussar General Fei Qian can be said to have basically handed over all the civil affairs in Sichuan and Shu to Xu Shu, and even has the right to control the military position. This kind of authority is neither small nor heavy.

   That's why Xu Shu is even more cautious.

  In the past two days, there happened to be an incident, which is one of the hand tails left by Hussar General Fei Qian, that is, Tuchen Palace and Qingyang Palace finally met...

Originally, Fei Qian had such a meaning when he erected the Tuchen Palace on the side of the Qingyang Palace. After all, the matter of harvesting beliefs is equally greedy and irreconcilable for any religion. When it was first introduced to China, it still rejected other religions. Tibetan Buddhism, which is closer to primitive Buddhism, can clearly see this point. All kinds of fierce and evil Buddha statues are really not very friendly.

Even if it is a peaceful temple or a Catholic church in later generations, although it will not say anything on the surface that believers are strictly prohibited from visiting relatives in other religions, if someone recites Buddhist scriptures in Taoist temples, draws the cross under the Tathagata statue, it will be a blessing in disguise. Under the eyes of the pastor, the water and land dojo...

   I'm afraid uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it.

When the Tuchen Palace was built next to the Qingyang Palace, they had already expected such a competitive situation, but what Fei Qian and Xu Shu did not expect was that under the oppression of the Qingyang Palace, Qiao Bing and others in the Tuchen Palace would unexpectedly The statue of Emperor Guangwu should be set up to show that Guangwu set the picture, just like Fuxi and Dayu, which belonged to the act of immeasurable merit and blessing to the people. After going to heaven, he will be the God of Guangwu, and the palace of picture prophecy can set up three gods. , there is Guangwu in this world...

   This stunned Xu Shu, there is such an operation?

   Fuxi and Dayu all have temples, and this is not a problem, but have you asked His Majesty Liu Xie about this matter?

  Although it seems absurd, but think about it, it is not completely unacceptable. According to Dong Zhongshu's concept, this world is naturally replaced by the emperor who exercises his will. Then the current great man was also taken from the hands of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu from Wang Mang. If there is no Guangwu, there will be no world today, even today When His Majesty offered sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, he also mainly worshiped Emperor Guangwu, and the rest of the emperors just stood beside the gods...

  Picture prophecy Gong Qiao did not do this, and it makes sense in theory, but Xu Shu is not sure about the specifics, or how it will evolve in the future. The problem is that Xu Shu has not come forward to mediate now, saying what is going on with the three gods in the Tuchen Palace, whether it is good or not.

I am afraid that even Qiao Bing, who said hoarsely that the picture prophecy can understand the principles of the world, may not have much confidence in his heart, but at least at this stage, the voice of opposition should not come from Xu Shu, otherwise Qiao Bing Maybe he went downstairs along the steps and flicked his sleeves to express that there was no problem with the prophecy, but that he was stopped by the Hussar General Fei Qian and had to retreat, and then he wanted to attract these little experts who usually spread rumors. It's even harder to come out and stand in the sun.

  So, pretend not to know, and wait and see?

Xu Shu wondered, if the statue of Fuxi and Dayu is erected, it will be erected. The statue of Emperor Guangwu, if it is erected like this, if it is pretended not to know, will it be considered as acquiescing, and once it is erected, will it be considered as acquiescing? What other adverse effects?

   For example, will it have any impact on Hussar General Fei Qian's position, and will there be some obstacles to the various policies to be implemented in the future?

These are all issues to be considered, but fortunately, it is not a day or two to erect a statue. Just find a piece of wood and carve a few lines to fill it up. It still takes a certain amount of time to determine the shape and appearance. , clothes, accessories and other details, so there is still some time to consider and arrange.

On the other hand, Xu Shu's considerations focused on Sichuan and Shu, and at most involved some policy changes in the Guanzhong area, and Hussar General Fei Qian may have a different perspective on this matter, so this matter should be reported to Hussars It would be better for the general to decide.

Xu Shu wrote down the direction and problems he was considering, as well as some personal suggestions, and then took the wax and sealed it, and handed it to the guards in the hall, and ordered it to be passed to the General Hussars in Guanzhong, and then took a look at the Guan Yu, who was waiting in the side hall under the hall, pondered for a moment, then stood up, walked out and greeted, "General Guan, are you here all right?"
