Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2243 Additional Articles, Paths of Life

  Deep in the peach forest.

   There is another courtyard.

  『What did I say just now? 』

   Fei Qian stood in the small courtyard that originally belonged to Cai Yan, and asked Fei Zhen with his hands behind his back.

  Although it is said that Cai Yan lives in Chang'an, there are still some people looking after the yard. Houses with brick and wood as the main structure, such as the Han Dynasty, would easily decay and collapse if no one took care of them.

  Some people say that it is popular to raise a house, but in fact it is not, but the humidity and temperature are suitable for human habitation, not suitable for insects, ants and mold. Of course, if these daily cleaning behaviors of human beings and keeping a dry and ventilated living environment are highly summarized as "yang qi", and the environment suitable for the growth of mold, insects and ants is called "yin qi", it is not correct. Can't.

   Therefore, the same thing may be said differently, giving people a different feeling.

   It’s like the impassioned words that Fei Qian said in the Shoushan Academy, above the Minglun Hall…

  『Father, what you said is very good! ”Fei Zhen still clenched her fists excitedly, “As a Han Chinese, it is convenient to be in the darkest, especially for the light!” 』

   Feiqian laughed a few times, "Are you trying to make me happy?" 』

   Fei Zhen shook her head, "No! it is true! 』

   Fei Qian smiled, shook his head and remained silent.

   Some words are indeed classics.

  Especially the first time it's said.

Fei Qian still remembers the first time he heard someone say that the dark night gave dark eyes, but they wanted to use them to find light, etc. Of course, it was not the original author. After all, in those days, Fei Qian could only be I heard this sentence for the first time from some people's debate competitions. Fei Qian remembered being very excited at the time. But when these words were repeated over and over again, and then Fei Qian discovered that the person who said these words was also looking for green money with red eyes, and began to openly insult the IQ of human beings...

  There are some orange hemp wheat skins, I don't know whether they should be used as oars or oars.

   Later, I figured it out. At the very beginning, they clearly wrote the two words "Variety Show" in super large characters to tell the world, but there are still some people who take it seriously, so who can blame it? No matter how you say it, it is more real than some old grandpas, grandmas, old Chinese medicine and old academicians broadcast on local stations that can cure all diseases and have miraculous effects.

  『How many students are there in the hall? ’ Fei Qian asked suddenly.

"Uh? ! Fei Zhen stared, "How do I know this?" I can't count them all..."

"But I don't have a number, but I know... more than two hundred, but less than three hundred..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "When you start to lead the army, this will also become the ability you must master , at a glance, you know the approximate number of people, and if you make a mistake in your judgment, just wait for the army to be defeated and die...』

  『…』 Fei Zhen was speechless. What Fei Qian said is also true. This ability is found in most qualified generals, even ordinary scouts. "Father, what do you mean... I just... didn't notice the point? 』

  『Of course. ’ Fei Qian nodded.

  Fei Zhen tilted her head, thought for a long time, "I also ask my father to give me advice..."

  『I don’t want to understand? ’ Fei Qian asked.

   Fei Zhen nodded.

  『Then you come with me...』

   After Fei Qian finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly along the corridor. After a while, he went around to the backyard and came to the front of the library.

  『This is the library...』 Fei Qian raised his head, looked at it, and then said to Fei Zhen, 『Cai’s Library...』

  The door of the library was pushed open.

  Although it is said that people come to clean it from time to time, it is different from when Cai Yan lived here.

  In order to prevent insects and moths, a lot of insect repellents were placed in the library. When the door was opened, it was somewhat choking.

   Fei Qian and Fei Zhen stood outside the door, waiting for the smell to dissipate, and then walked into the library.

"Look..." Fei Qian raised his hand and pointed for a week, "Every time I read these books, I can feel that there are actually many differences between people. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, things are impossible. Everything is stronger than others...」

  『Cai’s collection of books? Fei Zhen was obviously taken aback by the bookshelves and collections in front of her, she raised her head and looked around, "These, these...could it be..."

Fei Qian nodded, "It's all read by your second mother...and she can memorize every one of them... There are also many books in it that she read when she was young, then lost them and rewritten them silently." ...'

  『Aha? ’ Fei Zhen’s eyes widened, she walked to the bookshelf beside her, and then pulled out a volume from the shelf, ‘It’s really Erniang’s handwriting! 』

"Huh..." Fei Qian also took a copy, unfolded it, and blew on the dust that hadn't been cleaned, "These books still have to be transported to Chang'an... Keep them here, they will still break sooner or later... 』

  I have already transported some of them before, but it may be because Cai Yan felt that most of these books left behind were written silently by her later, so they are not as precious as those lonely copies, so I didn’t have much luck.

  『Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so when they stand on the stage, what should they do? Fei Qian put the book back, turned around and said, "Compete with the people in the audience?" People who can read, know how to read, and are even proficient in reading are unknown in the world...so do you understand? 』

  『Hmm…』 Fei Zhen thought for a moment, and then said, 『Like Daddy, marry someone who can read? 』

"Hi! ”Fei Qian patted the back of Fei Zhen’s head, “This is rare, there are so many women like your second mother!” You can't beat the people in the world, but you can use the people in the world! Since you are standing on the stage, you have to watch more people! Let me ask you, who was the first to applaud after speaking for the father just now? 』

  『Aha? 』Fei Zhen was dumbfounded.

  『Then who is following the applause? Fei Qianjue then asked, "How many people applauded sincerely, and how many people applauded falsely?" Do the applauders understand more, or do the applauders understand deeply? Aha what aha? Letting you stand on the stage, do you think it is fun? 』

  『(;Д｀)! ’ Fei Zhen was speechless.

  『The person who applauded first just now was Uncle Linghu...Why him, have you ever thought about it? ” Fei Qian said slowly, “Then under his leadership, the rest of the people gradually cheered and applauded... But there are still a few people who did not follow the applause at the beginning, but followed afterward... Then you think that among these people , which ones are available and which ones are not available? And how should it be used? 』

  『…』 Fei Zhen didn’t know what to say, so she said after a while, “Father, you are like this every day. Isn’t it hard work? 』

  『You think I am willing? Fei Qian sighed slightly, "It's not easy to get on the stage, but it's even harder to get off the stage." If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces, and your family will be destroyed... Let me ask you again, are there still few kings who subjugate the country in the Spring and Autumn Period? Do you know why during the Spring and Autumn Period, those kings who perished did not record their offspring? 』

  Fei Zhen thought for a while, then her expression changed, "My lord father means..."

   Feiqian nodded, "That's right, that's what it means... because there is no need to record... people are gone, so what else to record?" If I can't keep this foundation, you will die in a mass burial mountain, if you can't keep it, your descendants will die under the sword of others! So... are you still playing? 』

  Fei Zhen was silent for a while, then prostrated herself on the ground, "The child is not filial, let the father bother you..."

  … ヽ()()…

  When Fei Qian was teaching Fei Zhen in Pingyang, Shi Xie who was far away in southern Xinjiang was also scolding his son.

  Shi Xie fled from Jiaozhi City in a hurry, and soon ran into Shi Zhi who came to the rescue...

  『If you had arrived a few days earlier, I wouldn’t have made such a mistake! 』

   Shi Xie was heartbroken, it was the lair that had been in operation for many years! Not to mention anything else, just in the garden where he lives, there is the camphor tree that he transplanted with great difficulty...

   Well, it’s a camphor tree, not the kind of toon tree that needs to be fined 14w.

Camphor trees repel insects, which is a treasure in the Lingnan area, plus the roots and branches of camphor trees are powerful, especially the one that Shi Xie is interested in, it is like a wandering dragon, which is very gratifying, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money , so that people can be transplanted from others. Everyone knows that once the sapling grows, it is not so easy to transplant, so it is very laborious, and finally watched the transplant survive, but it fell into the hands of Liu Bei. How can Shi Xie not feel sad?

Nowadays, there are no camphor trees in the north of Dahan, and there is no biological research, so Shi Xie always thought that camphor trees can repel insects, because camphor trees have a magical power, which can even make Shi Xie get better. Great future...

   "This..." Shi Zhi asked cautiously, "I don't know where father wants to go?" 』

Shi Xie fled for several days, the original gorgeous brocade robe was already crumpled like rags, the original neat beard was covered with dust, and his eyes were cloudy. After listening to Shi Zhi's questioning, it seemed that a long period of time had passed. In the process, the question Shi Zhi asked entered Shi Xie's ears and reached his head.

  『Where are you going? Shi Xie murmured.

  When fleeing, I just think about fleeing, and I can't think about other things at all. I only think about this issue after I escape.

  Where are you going?

   That's a good question.

  There are only two roads left, one is to continue going south and flee to the south, and the other is to take advantage of the time when Liu Bei is busy rectifying and incorporating Jiaozhi, and flee Lingnan by boat...

   Both options have pros and cons.

Going south, Shi Xie has really made friends with some local aborigines in recent years, and the strength of these aborigines is not small. If they unite, there is still a great chance of counterattack, but in this way, Shi Xie was originally in Lingnan. The authority that has been maintained in the Jiaozhi area is tantamount to nothing. Even if Liu Bei is driven away, it will be quite difficult to maintain the detached position of Jiaozhi in the future.

Shi Xie put a lot of thought into letting these Lingnan natives know the power of the Han family. Even the ceremonial guards for travel were specially customized. The flags and banners of the Han people were used, and it is precisely because of this that Shi Xie and others have a relatively high position in the minds of the Lingnan natives. …

  The other direction is to find Sun Quan.

Sun Quan had sent someone to contact Shi Xie before, because the distance is far away, not to mention the land transportation, even if it is by sea, it is calculated in months, and Shi Xie is good at communication, so he sent some He said some good things about Lingnan specialties, which made Sun Quan fascinated and became a confidant, so Shi Xie went to find Sun Quan, and Sun Quan would most likely accept him, which is not a problem.

  But looking for Sun Quan is equivalent to losing the authority of Jiaozhou governor. Even if Sun Quan sends people to fight Liu Bei in the future, regardless of the outcome, Shi Xie will have nothing to do...

On the one hand, it is possible to regain the territory, but since then it will no longer have the title of the Great Han Shangguo, and it will be forced to associate with these natives, while on the other hand, it may be possible to maintain a false name, but it will never gain real power in the future hope.

  How to choose? Standing at this fork in the road of life, Shi Xie fell into hesitation...

  ...(/□＼*)...

  『Brother! 』

   Zhang Fei raised his voice like a thunderbolt.

  Liu Bei stretched out his head on the sentry tower, then waved his hand at Zhang Fei, "Hey, I'm here..."

  『Brother! Where are you going and what are you doing? Wait for me! Zhang Fei said all the way, climbing the tower all the way, and soon he came to Liu Bei's side, "Brother, why are you here alone?" 』

  『Hmmm…』 Liu Bei chuckled, and then said, 『How is it? How are the soldiers eating and drinking today? 』

"Ha ha ha ha! ”Speaking of this, Zhang Fei laughed so much that his little tongue trembled, and then patted his belly, “Comfortable! Thieves comfortable! I snatched five hooves! If it wasn't for the second brother to stop...uh...this...」

   Liu Bei smiled, pretending he didn't hear it.

   It wasn't that Liu Bei didn't want to pursue Shi Xie, but it was because his soldiers had worked too hard. After taking Jiaozhi, they could only temporarily repair it and reward them for a while.

  『Brother, what are you doing here? 』Zhang Fei finished the topic just now, and then asked.

  Liu Bei looked up at the sky, the sky was filled with bright stars, "I came to the sky...and finally climbed a step, and then found...it doesn't seem to be much closer..."

  Zhang Fei also stretched his head to look up at the sky, "Oh... Brother, you... I didn't see how much you drank just now..."

  『Haha...』Liu Bei smiled, 『I’m just joking...I thought of those Cochin people from before...The Shi clan, the prestige here is not low...』

  Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes! When the city was attacked that day, it turned out that the people in the city came to cut off the rear of this group of Shishi dogs! I really don't know what's going on in these guys' heads! 』

  『I know…』 Liu Bei said.

  Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "How do you know? 』

  Liu Bei replied, "I know how the Shi clan did it... I was also curious about this, so I went to find the answer to this matter..."

"Oh? Brother, talk about it, talk about it! ’ Zhang Fei asked repeatedly.

  『At the beginning, when Shi Shi first arrived in Lingnan Jiaozhi area, there were not many people, let alone a lot of money, so they found Sha Wenna...』

"What? Kill the door? Zhang Fei asked, "Does the door also kill?" 』

  『Haha...it’s Sha Wenna...』 Liu Bei laughed and said, "Isn’t there a barbarian’s place in the city? That’s what’s in there…”

  『Oh, brother, you mean those barbarians who shaved their heads? ’ Zhang Fei asked.

Liu Bei nodded, "Sha Wenna's meaning is to shave off his beard and hair, so that he can stop all evil... Then he can control his body and mind, practice all kinds of good things diligently, and in the future he can achieve Nirvana... Simply put, it means being bald and without any hair." Get a beard, work more, complain less, and you will have good fortune in the future, and you can be reborn in a good family...』

  Zhang Fei stroked his beard, "This...does anyone believe this? 』

   Liu Bei smiled, "Didn't you meet those common people? 』

  『Uh…』Zhang Fei didn't know what to say for a moment.

  『Every year, the Shishi will choose a hard-working, honest, hard-working, or even disabled person from among the people who have listened to Sha Wenna, and then invite him to ride with him and parade through the streets to praise his achievements...' Liu Bei said slowly.

"what? ’ Zhang Fei asked, ‘The crippled? 』

Liu Bei nodded, and then turned his head to look in a direction outside the city, "Over there, there is a mountain named Xiaoling. Those who cannot do anything because they are disabled will be sent all the way to Xiaoling Mountain by the Shi family... It is said that there is Single person, single courtyard, not only food and clothing, but also servants to serve...』

"Oh? so good? Zhang Fei obviously didn't believe it, "Are you kidding, Shishi is willing to support them for a lifetime?" 』

   Liu Bei nodded, "Of course. It's just that most of these people will "sitting up" within two or three years...Oh, they just sit and die without eating or drinking...』

"Hi! Zhang Fei slapped his hands, "Isn't that what it is! I, Dangshi, really raised these people for nothing... so these people should understand? 』

  『No…』Liu Bei shook his head, 『Not only no, these people will go to offer incense to these people who are sitting in a trance...I hope that one day I can become a new person who is a slumber...』

"what? ha? Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he felt that what Liu Bei said tonight simply subverted his original cognition, "This...these people are too stupid, right? 』

"No..." Liu Bei shook his head and said, "This is very subtle...First of all, Shi Shi and others, if they have needs and work, they will first find these Sha Wenna, and then give a slightly higher reward, so that those Sha Wenna Then come forward to ask the people to work...And if there is a dispute among the people, it is to favor the people who believe in Shawenna...In addition, except for shaving their beard and hair, all believers in Shawenna must kneel...』

  『Kneel down? ’ Zhang Fei asked, ‘Why? 』

  『Because standing up straight...is a human being......』 Liu Bei said, 『Kneeling down and touching the ground on all fours, what is it? Ha ha, and what’s interesting is that every time Sha Wenna kneels down to worship Sha Wenna, Sha Wenna will give some benefits to those people who kneel down first... Then there will be more people... Haha, wonderful, wonderful...』

  『Third brother, think about it, if someone is unwilling to kneel down, they will be ridiculed, saying don’t think too highly of yourself, isn’t it just short? It is good to kneel earlier, but there is nothing if you go late... There will be people who kindly persuade you. If you don’t kneel, the benefits are not good. It is better to kneel now if you say that a person can resist, and that you can't implicate your wife, children and children... Doesn't it make sense? 』

  『The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is ingenious... 』 Liu Bei sighed, "No wonder there were so many people who were driven by Shi Shi to sacrifice their lives when they attacked the city..."

   Zhang Fei listened in a daze, and was suddenly taken aback, "Brother, you...you are...couldn't you..."

   Liu Bei was also taken aback for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Third Brother! Who do you think I am? ! Someone has ordered that all these barbarians be beheaded! You and I are both Han people. This Han people can fall and get down on the ground, but they must never kneel down! Since Xiaowu in the Han Dynasty, those who insulted the emperor can live especially well, and those who cast Hu and bend their knees are unforgivable! It's nothing to bow your head among your own brothers, but to bow your knees to outsiders... Ha ha! There is a right way between heaven and earth! Since you are a Haner, you should stand in the world! If you don't take it straight, you will lose your life! How can you bow your knees and worship the barbarians? 』
