Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 673 The big man will not die!
The war between Yanqing and Yanqing was of great concern to Yinghou Luochuan.

His reputation in the world is extremely high. People like him should have been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but his status forced him to step down from the high platform.

On top of the city wall of Luoying City.

Luo Chuan looked at the west in the distance. The sun was slowly setting. Luo Qian stood quietly beside him in plain clothes and hairpin skirt. Luo Chuan suddenly said: "Madam, who do you think will win?"

Luo Qian said directly without any hesitation: "I don't know, are you prepared for Liu Bei's failure?"

Liu Bei failed!

Luo Chuan didn't say anything when he heard this. He just reached out and gently touched the blue bricks on the city wall. There were traces of wind and rain on them, as well as the smell of countless swords and wars. Every brick and tile contained the history of the British Kingdom. .

At the end of the Early Han Dynasty and the late Han Dynasty, some people attacked the Yinghou Kingdom, because everyone knew that the Yinghou Kingdom was the "last iron wall of the Han Dynasty", but anyone who wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty would not let the Yinghou Kingdom go. Hou country.

If Liu Bei failed and Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou, would he be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?
If he is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, how will the British princes deal with themselves?
Luo Chuan really didn't know how to answer Madam's words. He was prepared for the possibility of Liu Bei's failure, because no one could succeed. He was not prepared for the possibility of Liu Bei's failure, because he didn't know yet that if Liu Bei was not worthy of support, Who else can we find to help the Han Dynasty?

Liu Yu from Youzhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Liu Yan from Yizhou, these three people in Luochuan have all known each other. They are not as good as Liu Bei. If Liu Bei cannot revitalize the Han Dynasty, where should the Yinghou Kingdom go in this world?
Luo Qian looked at Luo Chuan who was a little confused, hugged him from behind, and said softly: "Back then, our ancestor Ying Wenwen helped Emperor Gao to establish the world. Is this the city he left to his descendants?

What Yinghou represents is not a city, but exists in the hearts of the Han people for 300 years. Wherever you are, the country of Yinghou will be there.

As long as there is still the Liu family who dares to work hard for the country, and as long as there are still Yinghou who is willing to help the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty will not be destroyed! "

Although Luo Qian is a woman, her words are as hard as gold and stone, and her words and will are indestructible.

Luo Chuan felt a wave of heat well up in his heart. He stretched out his big hand to cover Luo Qian's hand, feeling the warmth and fragrant breath, and said slowly but firmly: "Liu Bei will definitely succeed.

When this war comes to an end, let Qi'er marry the noble daughter of the Mi family. Since both Lanling Xiao and Huaiyin Han have doubts about Liu Bei, then the Yinghou Kingdom will take charge of the Xuzhou scholars. "

Luo Qian nuzzled Luo Chuan slightly and said softly: "This is my husband, and you are Luo Zichuan, a model in the world.

Models in the world should have a will like Mount Tai and a determination like thunder. "

……

When the two of them were on their way with the army,

Liu Bei and Cao Cao met in Yanzhou. When they met, it seemed like they were still fighting against Zhang Jiao with King Qin.

Several years have passed, but this moment still feels like yesterday.

Both of them were at the peak of their power in life, and when they were both high-spirited, they were much friendlier than Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan when they met.

Although they were hostile in the battle formation, it did not affect their sympathy for each other. They even walked to each other in front of the formation and called each other "Xuan De Gong" and "Meng De Gong".

The two armies were far apart and were stationed separately. Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to have a drink and talk before the battle, and the invitation was sent directly to Liu Bei's army.

When Cao Cao wrote the letter, everyone in Cao's army felt that this move was a bit ridiculous and asked doubtfully: "Lord, is this a bit...will Liu Xuande come?"

When Cao Cao heard the question, he couldn't help but recall Liu Bei in his mind.

Although they only get along for a few months, the best time to get to know a person is during the escape. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's admiration for Liu Bei were established during the escape process.

Facing everyone's doubts, Cao Cao chuckled and said: "You don't understand, Liu Xuande is a real hero, how could he not come?

Not to mention that he is allowed to bring an escort, even if he can only go to the meeting alone, he will come. This is Liu Xuande's courage. "

The admiration for Liu Bei in his words was beyond words. The generals of the Cao and Xiahou families understood him somewhat, but most of the Yanzhou and Yingchuan people who later followed Cao Cao were a little confused.

Xun Yu thought thoughtfully. In the process of this war possibly starting, Cao Cao had already talked about Liu Bei countless times. He rubbed the ink for Cao Cao and asked: "My lord, do you want to bring guards?"

All clan generals and General Xu are all chosen at the moment. "

Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "Take it with you, Liu Xuande must be the same, the generals under his command are not easy to get along with.

Wen Ruo and you scribes will go with me and show you this world hero. "

Hearing Cao Cao mention the generals under Liu Bei's command, the Xiahou and Cao generals all looked a little unnatural. They had all fought against Zhang Jiao back then, and they knew best how perverted those under Liu Bei's command were.

When they knew they were going to fight Liu Bei, these people warned each other not to fight generals, at least not one-on-one, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Facing Cao Cao's invitation, Liu Bei smiled and said to everyone in the army: "A thousand, two hundred years ago, Luo Wen Gong drank a glass of wine to drink away Xiong Dun. If Liu Bei and I can drink a glass of wine to drink away Cao Ah Ma today, wouldn't we be on par with the ancient sages? "

As soon as Liu Bei said this, everyone knew that he had to go. Guan Yu slightly twirled his beard with half-squinted eyes. He had a pretty good impression of Cao Cao.

Moreover, in his opinion, with his two brothers plus Zilong, where in the world can they not go?
After all, Zhang Jiao is dead!

Liu Bei and Cao Cao spread a piece of mat in front of the two armies' formation, then moved the small chairs for kneeling over and sat directly on the ground. Guan Yu and others did not bring weapons. They were all dressed in cloth and sat behind them. Not a word was spoken.

After Cao Cao and Liu Bei knelt down, they smiled and bowed to each other. Cao Cao said with some emotion: "Xuande, a few years ago, I never expected that I would meet you here with troops today."

There are two meanings in this sentence. The first one is that the two people will meet with swords. The second one is that they did not expect that Liu Bei would be qualified to sit across from him. A few years ago, he did not even have the qualifications to be a Qinwang prince. How could it develop so quickly.

Liu Bei understood, so he said meaningfully: "My rise is because of the blood of the Liu family.

Because of the kindness and blessings of his ancestors, he received help from the noble princes and noble relatives.

How many people in this world have risen to prominence not because of Liu's favor? "

Liu Bei was referring to Cao Cao. Cao Cao, do you still remember why your ancestor became famous?
It was because your ancestor was the half-brother of Emperor Xiaocheng that he became famous. Isn't it because of the Liu family that he became famous?

Cao Cao remained calm and answered with some emotion: "Yes, the Cao family once became famous because of the kindness of Emperor Xiaocheng, so the elders of the Cao family and the Xiahou family fully supported me in raising an army to serve the king, but it is a pity that my ability is limited. , King Qin failed to succeed, and all his clan, relatives and party members died in the battle in foreign lands.

I, Cao Cao, have failed the monarch and the country, and I have failed the people of my ancestors. I have no shame in returning to my clan. "

Everyone behind them said nothing, listening to Liu Bei and Cao Cao fighting here, with swords and swords in every sentence. This was the conflict between the two people's ideas.

Liu Bei was slightly silent when he heard this. The princes of King Qin had suffered great losses back then, and some families really sacrificed their lives. Although there are people who are obsessed with fame and fortune in this world, there is always no shortage of loyal ministers and righteous men.

When Cao Cao raised an army, he brought more clan members with him than just the generals sitting behind him now.
There are also those children from Qiao County and Qiao County. These people died in foreign lands. In this era where clans are so powerful, how can Cao Cao get by so easily?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei picked up the wine bottle and took a sip and said: "Mengde, if you are willing to withdraw, there is still a place for you in the Han Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao held the wine bottle with one hand, then looked at the sky, and suddenly said: "Xuande, which Han Dynasty are you talking about?
The Cao family in the early Han Dynasty was once prominent, but the Later Han Dynasty gradually declined. Now the Later Han Dynasty has lost its destiny. Is the Han Dynasty you are talking about established by Hongnong King Liu Xie under the hostage of Li Jue and Guo Si?

It's just too ridiculous.

Every time the Han Dynasty in Chang'an issued an edict, it was an insult to the Han Dynasty. "

Although Cao Cao still recognized Liu Xie's throne from the bottom of his heart, he was now Yuan Shao's ally and must stick to this moral bottom line.

Among the princes in the world, Yuan Shao was the one who most firmly refused to recognize Liu Xie's throne and directly called him King Hongnong.

Liu Bei's eyes sharpened when he heard this, and he said with a golden tone in his voice: "Mengde, the Han Dynasty needs an emperor, and there is no one more suitable than Liu Xie."

A dynasty that has lost its destiny is already crumbling and in danger. If even the emperor, the political leader, disappears at this time, will this dynasty still exist?
Of course it doesn't exist!
This is something Liu Bei cannot accept. Where in the world today is there a banner of the Han Dynasty that is more orthodox and less threatening than Liu Xie?

no more!
Liu Xie must be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Anyone who does not recognize Liu Xie's throne is Liu Bei's enemy.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and suddenly said leisurely: "Xuande, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos and Emperor Xiaomin was kidnapped, not counting Wushuang Hou Luokong, the people who contributed the most in the world were Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, followed by me, Cao Cao.

Emperor Xiaomin was killed, and the undisputed emperor of the Han Dynasty collapsed.

The three heroes who defended Emperor Xiaomin, Wushuang Hou Luokong and Dong Zhuo, died together. Yuan Shao and I, Cao Cao, suddenly turned into traitors who did not obey the emperor's orders.

Gongsun Zan raided Jizhou when Yuan Benchu ​​was bloody for the Han Dynasty, but now he has become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing?

Where can such truth be found in this world?

Where can there be such injustice in this world?
This is not what the Emperor Suwang, the two sages Luokong, and the sage Mencius taught us! "

In the Han Dynasty, Mencius' status was quite special. Half of his work "Mencius" talks about the great way of righteousness, and the other half talks about the way of monarchs and ministers, and the way of rulers and people.

Once Mencius is mentioned, it means that the subjects begin to question the emperor.

Regarding Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei feels a headache every time he thinks about it. What he did is really hard to describe and hard to defend.

But at this time, you can't give in no matter what, you can only show your attitude.

Liu Bei said sternly: "Yuan Shao and Meng De, your contributions are seen by everyone in the world, but now and then, when you were loyal ministers of Emperor Xiaomin, the world praised you, but now you are unwilling to recognize the throne of Emperor Jian'an. , so I attack you.

You are all heroes of the Han Dynasty. If we work together to protect the throne of Emperor Jian'an, won't the world be unstable?
What Gongsun Zan did was naturally inappropriate, but as both Han princes, we should not ignore the Han Dynasty because of personal grudges. "

Liu Bei's meaning was obvious. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's unwillingness to recognize Liu Xie's throne, even if he hanged Gongsun Zan and beat him, he would not take action. After all, there was indeed an old grudge between the two parties.

But this is mixed with the struggle for the survival of the Han Dynasty, which has something to do with me, Liu Xuande. I must participate. No matter how wrong Gongsun Zan is, his current political stance is with me.

Moreover, there is a hidden meaning hidden in Liu Bei's words. Are you princes really refusing to acknowledge Liu Xie's position because of his injustice?Isn't it because the Han Dynasty's destiny fell and Emperor Xiaomin died, and he already had other thoughts in his heart?
Because Cao Cao was relatively sensitive to this topic, he naturally understood the point. He looked at Liu Bei deeply and said: "Xuande entered Qingzhou and was helped by Yinghou and Erlu Xiang, and he also got Lu's lovely wife. , people can’t help but think of the scene when the Han Dynasty was founded 300 years ago, and everyone in the world praised you for having the style of a high emperor!"

Liu Bei raised his glass and drank it, and said calmly: "Bei is a descendant of Emperor Gao and has the style of his ancestors. This is natural. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he couldn't stop laughing. He was indeed Liu Xuande!

So thick skinned!

Cao Cao knew that the conversation should end here, so he said goodbye. When he stood up, he heard Liu Bei say again leisurely, "Mengde, the great man will not perish. I hope you can get back on track as soon as possible."

Cao Cao suddenly turned around and saw Liu Bei looking at him with shining eyes. When he saw him looking over, his eyes were full of determination, "As long as I, Liu Bei, are still here, as long as Ying Hou and Er Lu, as long as these If the Liu family is still in the hearts of the world, the Han Dynasty will not perish!"

Liu Bei's voice was so loud that not only Cao Cao, but everyone present heard it.

Liu Bei's voice contained endless determination. Anyone could hear his determination, which was determination that he was willing to pay any price.

He stood up, his body filled with grandeur and light. This is a state that can only appear to those who have faith.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei in shock. They had no doubt that as long as he could revive the Han Dynasty, he would be willing even if Liu Bei was shattered to pieces!

In front of people like Liu Bei, even if he formed an alliance with someone like Gongsun Zan, everyone believed that he and Gongsun Zan were not the same, and it was just a stop-gap measure.

Cao Cao did not speak, turned around and walked away, walking faster and faster. If he stayed for a while, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but tell Liu Bei that if that day came, he would only be a general of the Han Dynasty in the Western Conquest.

After Xun Yu stood up and left, he glanced at Liu Bei and felt that coming here today and meeting Liu Xuande had indeed gained a lot, and it would even be quite helpful in the subsequent war.

At least in Xun Yu's view, the level of vigilance in this war has to be raised to another level, because Liu Bei is not the kind of monarch who can be manipulated at will. If Yuan Shu is on the opposite side of this battle, even if he is stronger than his own side, then Xun Yu will not see it Not on.

"Wen Ruo, how about Liu Xuande?"

Xun Yu was thinking about these things when suddenly Cao Cao asked. He thought for a moment and then replied: "He is indeed a rare hero in the world.

But in Yu's opinion, Liu Xuande is still a bit inferior to his master. The reason why he can achieve his current achievements is probably because the other clan members of the Liu family are all incompetent and cannot take over the Han Dynasty. Big flag.

The Yinghou and others had no choice but to choose Liu Bei, but the lord was not the same and fought hard. Although he had the power of the clan, it was far inferior to the help Liu Bei received.

Therefore, Liu Bei is not as good as the Lord, and our army will win this battle. "

In addition to his top-notch political and strategic abilities, Xun Yu's strongest point is that he can always give the Lord fair feedback. This is the key to his becoming a top politician.

No one in this world does not have doubts, and no one can always be firm, because people live in the game, and there is no God's perspective. Even Luo Chuan has doubts sometimes.

At this time, what you need is not a better suggestion, but someone you trust to firmly tell you that you did the right thing, and now you just need to stick to it to win.

In Cao Cao's army, Xun Yu is the person who can provide Cao Cao with emotional value. His role in Cao Cao's camp is irreplaceable by anyone.

Seeing Cao Cao leaving, Liu Bei also stood up and left. Looking at the group of advisers following Cao Cao, Liu Bei was so envious that he almost drooled.

He couldn't help but think of Gongzi Qi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ying. If Gongzi Qi could be his mastermind, this battle would be much easier to fight.

After the conversation with Cao Cao, Liu Bei's need to find a mastermind became increasingly high, because the conversation with Cao Cao just now had exposed a very important issue.

That is to say, the princes in the world will stop pretending when they see it. The banner of the Han Dynasty is really about to be abandoned. Yuan Shao's disdain for the Han Dynasty can be clearly seen by everyone in the world.

In Liu Bei's view, and in the view of people like Yuan Shao, the great Han now has neither the destiny nor the virtue to be a monarch who can gain the loyalty of the old ministers of the Han Dynasty, so self-reliance is the best choice.

Nowadays, the iron cavalry of the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong is becoming more and more sharp, and now there is no emperor in the Central Plains. If the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong declares itself a king, or even an emperor, how will the princes of the Central Plains react?

Liu Bei knew that he didn't have much time left for him. He had to gather the remaining warmth of the Han Dynasty that still existed in people's hearts as soon as possible.

The first step is to defeat Cao Cao. If you don't defeat Cao Cao, you will be trapped in Qingzhou. If you can't even get through Yanzhou and Henan County, how can you talk about occupying Sizhou and marching into Guanzhong to meet the emperor?
Liu Bei turned around and saw that everyone had already stood up. Just as he was about to greet everyone to leave, Guan Yu suddenly bowed heavily and said: "I am willing to follow my elder brother and revive the Han Dynasty. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will not change my ambition!"

Zhang Fei also cupped his fists like a conditioned reflex and said: "Brother, I am the same!"

Everyone looked solemn and said: "I am willing to follow my lord to build a great cause and revive the Han Dynasty!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Bei walked up to Guan Yu, helped him up and said movedly: "Second brother, third brother, everyone..."

Liu Bei couldn't help but choked up, "Liu Bei knows your wishes, and is willing to work with you to build a great cause."

Before Cao Cao and others had gone far, they naturally saw the movement on Liu Bei's side. Xun Yu looked at this scene thoughtfully, and he understood that this was the purpose and cultural banner of Liu Bei Group.

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be of much use on the surface, but it is extremely important to a force. It can even attract extremely outstanding talents through this kind of banner.

Revitalize the Han Dynasty.

This flag not only represents the restoration of order, but also implies the great wish to dominate the world. How can it be regarded as reviving the Han Dynasty if it does not unify the world?

This is Liu Bei's subtle expression of his ambition to the people of the world, showing that he is not the kind of dog who just wants to sit in one place, but a hero with ambitions for the world.

Even those talented people who were not interested in reviving the Han Dynasty would still be interested in Liu Bei's power. In short, Xun Yu felt the benefits that this flag could bring after just a moment's thought.

He couldn't help but think of the power of Cao Cao where he lived. What kind of banner should he raise to attract the heroes of the world?

There is only one answer.

Xun Yu's eyes looked at Chang'an. This answer has appeared in Cao Cao's camp for a long time. After Luoyang Wushuang Hou Luokong killed Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao tried to catch up with Li Jue and Guo Si and snatch Liu Xie away. , is to implement this path.

Serve the emperor to order Han ministers!
It was a pity that the Xiliang soldiers were not defeated, which led to the bankruptcy of this plan. In Xun Yu's view, after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the current situation must be changed, and the right path must be to develop towards Sizhou Guanzhong.

Yanzhou, the land of the Four Wars, can only be used as a temporary foundation, and cannot always be used as a foundation.

Neither Liu Bei nor Yuan Shao are opponents that can be defeated easily. On the other hand, Li Jue and Guo Si in Guanzhong are two simple and brainless warriors. It is easy to defeat these two people.

If it can occupy Guanzhong and become the power of the Western Qin Dynasty in the past, and then contain Sanhe, it will gain the momentum to swallow up the world.

Countless plans flashed through Xun Yu's mind. When Cao Cao called him again, he realized that the most critical thing now was the current war.

If we can directly defeat Liu Bei, occupy the two states of Yanqing, and then plan to seize Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and occupy the four states of the Central Plains, where will we need to enter Guanzhong?
Go directly north to attack Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, go south to wipe out Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and their like, where are there any opponents within Liuhe and the Eight Wastes?
The war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei was fought very cautiously, completely emphasizing a rhythm that would rather not win a big victory than make a mistake.

If the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was for the status of the northern hegemon, then the war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei was for the status of one of the overlords of the Central Plains.

Another strong competitor is Yuan Shu, but although Yuan Shu occupies part of the land in Yuzhou, his goal is Huaisi, Jiangdong.

In addition, because Liu Biao has been controlling the rear, the most powerful Yuan Shu did not participate in this war for hegemony in the Central Plains.

The winner between Liu Bei and Cao Cao will most likely be the one who challenges Yuan Shu, if the two can really defeat the other and gain a lot of war benefits.

Even though Liu Bei is now Yuan Shu's ally, as soon as the situation changes, the relationship between the two parties will change, and today's allies may not become enemies.

In other words, on the road to unifying the world, where are the allies?
It is normal for the emperor to fight against each other, leaving piles of corpses, rivers of blood, and countless heroes bowing.

Yuan Shu himself was naturally extremely irritated about not being able to participate in the Central Plains War, but on second thought, his goal had always been Xuzhou and controlling Huaisi.

Now, while Cao Cao and Liu Bei were fighting to the death and had no chance to attack Xuzhou, he took the first step. This was simply an opportunity given by God.

As for Liu Biao, Yuan Shu didn't take Liu Biao into his heart at all. He was just a household dog who even the Jingzhou nobles couldn't deal with. How could he be Yuan Shu's opponent?
I, Yuan Shu, come from a wealthy family in Luoyang, and am the legitimate son of the Runan family of the fourth generation. That concubine, Yuan Shaoshang, is known as the most handsome in the world. How can I, Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of Yuan Shu, be inferior to a concubine?
Moreover, Yuan Shu thought that he already controlled Jiujiang and Lujiang, and it would be easy to enter Xuzhou from Jiujiang and Lujiang.

Judging from the current situation in Xuzhou, it is not difficult to get Huaisi as long as the Xuzhou nobles and the Lanlingxiao and Huaiyinhan families do not oppose fiercely.

Even if they object, Yuan Shu is determined to kill them with swords. As one of the largest noble clans in the world, Yuan Shu thinks that even if he kills those who oppose him, no one will say anything.

But just when he was full of confidence, he never expected that Sun Jian would actually have a disobedient heart!

He had long suspected that Sun Jian had disobedient intentions. When Sun Jian happily accepted the appointment of Yangzhou Mu from the imperial court, his suspicions had reached its peak.

Sure enough, after Sun Jian occupied Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, he became very disobedient and unwilling to obey his orders.

Now he is disobeying his orders. When he sees a war coming, he brazenly provokes a war with Jiangdong Wu County.

Although Yuan Shu was not that smart, he was not a fool. Of course he knew what Sun Jian was doing.

Isn't it just to control Yangzhou, become a genuine Yangzhou Shepherd, and then get rid of his own control?

This made Yuan Shu very angry and yelled: "What an ungrateful person!
If he hadn't been the general at the beginning, he would have been just a wanted criminal of the imperial court. How could he have achieved his current status with such a naked betrayal?

I will never let him go! "

----

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, while Liu Bei was generous by nature. He was good at punishment, prepared for forgiveness, disciplined, and benevolent. The two were like the Tao of Tai Chi, which is divided into black and white. Later generations said: "Cao and Bei both followed the king's domineering way. Cao Cao Those who love hegemony are prepared to be happy kings, and all the heroes in the world serve their masters. This is what it is." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty"
