Book of the Heavens

Chapter 12 When "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" spread to Soochow

The status of "The Analects of Confucius" in Chinese history does not need to be said. It is as famous as "Tao Te Ching" and is the most classic work in ancient China, not even one of them.

Whether Confucianism is good or bad, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom, but whether it is the descendants of Confucianism or the modern people who are literate after the fall of Confucianism, they all have to admit that the principles in "The Analects of Confucius" are very profound.The quotations of "Threesomes must have my teacher" and "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself" are very classic.

The deterioration of Confucianism is just that later generations have not learned Confucius' thought, and Confucius himself is definitely not a corrupt Confucian.

In fact, Confucius was a saint, a recognized saint!
"I have made a lot of money. I have learned all the other things in the Three Kingdoms world with a book of "One Hundred Thousand" points, and I can't use it up!" Yang Hao was full of excitement, and put the "Analects of Confucius" on the ideological and philosophical bookshelf. The most conspicuous premium book area.

Yes, philosophy, not literature.

Literature can only be said to be a kind of art, valuable, but mostly not practical, but "The Analects of Confucius" is very practical.

If you can understand all the principles in it and achieve "unity of knowledge and action", then you can really sublimate a person inside and out, reaching a level that ordinary people cannot touch.

All in all, it was worthwhile for Yang Hao to come to the Three Kingdoms just to get the original of "The Analects of Confucius".

"This is a good thing, Mengde. If there are more books like this, I can give you all the technology of the atomic bomb, including basic industries." Yang Hao said to Cao Cao with joy in his heart.

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately darkened his face and said, "Sage's handwriting, original classic?"

Yang Hao nodded.

"I can't get it." Cao Cao shook his head like a rattle and said, "How many saints have there been in the past and present? It's a great luck to get a copy of "Confucius". Other saints are not as complete as Yan Shenggong Inheritance, the classics have long been lost!"

How could he, Cao Cao, not collect books that could be exchanged for Yang Hao's collection?
However, the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, which led to the severance of the inheritance of all schools of thought, and those who did not sever it had already retired, and it was difficult to find their roots.

After searching for so long, he only found some copied military classics, which were not well preserved and could not be exchanged for the collection of books.So, after several fruitless searches, he gave up.

"Forget it, I'm too greedy." Yang Hao said.

In fact, he also knew that something like a sage's handwriting could only be done by chance, and it was impossible to force it.

After all, the Three Kingdoms is not the Great Qin, nor the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. After so many years, even if the classics are passed down, they are basically not the original ones. To get a copy of "Confucius" is really a stroke of luck.

"No, sir, you just love books. How can you be greedy when you are a scholar?" Cao Cao said.

This flattery made Yang Hao feel that he had watched "Kong Yiji" for a moment.

No, I have actually seen it, this product has been exchanged for "The Complete Works of Lu Xun".

"By the way, call Sima Yi. I'm very interested in his way of forbearance. I have a blank book. I want him to fill in the book for me." Yang Hao said.

"Small matter, small matter." Cao Cao nodded, and said, "However, he is away on business, and he will not be back until a few days later. Please wait for a while. Don't be afraid to reveal the truth to him. The matter of Sima Yi's business trip has something to do with Mr. Woolen cloth!"

Hearing this, Yang Hao asked curiously, "What is related to me?"

"Temporary secrecy." Cao Cao laughed.

Then, he loaded his books into the car and led his men out of the library.

Yang Hao, on the other hand, spent points to learn things that he wanted to learn but didn't have enough points to learn before.For example, "One Hundred and Eight Ways of Dotting Candles in the Southeast Corner", which is equipped with metaphysical spells, is really not easy to learn without points.

Touching the gold talisman is similar, its effects are divided into several levels, the best one can be used as a talisman without fighting, and you have to cast spells to refine it.

Before, he was worried that he didn't have any points, but now, with [-] points, even if he has learned strategies and poetry collections, he still can't use them all up.

God, it's getting dark soon.

In the evening, a middle-aged man dressed as a counselor opened the door and walked into the library.

Of course, he could only come in because the door was ajar.

That person looked like a thief, looking around very vigilantly, but the calmness and composure on his face did not look like a thief at all.That was indeed not a thief. When he confirmed that Yang Hao was the only one in the library, he respectfully stepped forward and bowed.

"Lu Su, Lu Zijing, I have met Mr.," said the visitor.

"Lu Su? Why did you come here?" Yang Hao was taken aback.

At this time, Xinye City was Cao Cao's territory, and even Liu Bei's people could not enter.But now, Lu Su from Soochow came over, how could he not be surprised?
"Liu Bei can come, Cao Cao can come, why can't I, Lu Zijing, come?" Lu Su laughed.

Then, with a solemn look on his face, he said, "Cao Cao sent an army to seal off the surroundings of the library. Liu Bei and others didn't mention you to you, sir. It took a lot of effort for Lu Su to see you, sir."

Hearing this, Yang Hao said, "I know Cao Cao has sealed off the surrounding area, so how did you get here?"

Can run over from Cao Cao's blockade, this Lu Su, can't he conquer Xinye?
But looking at his sneaky look just now, it seems that Xinye is still in Cao Cao's hands.

"It's simple. There are so many people in Cao Ying, so I just pretended to come in openly." Lu Su said, "You can do the same when you go out. I don't think the curator will expose it to Cao Cao, right?"

Regarding this, Yang Hao shook his head and said, "Of course not."

I was still thinking about going to Soochow, but it turned out that Lu Su came by himself, which was quite a surprise.

Then, Lu Su didn't delay, and began to write books to exchange for books, as if it wasn't his first time.

"You seem to know this very well?" Yang Hao asked curiously.

"How could it be unclear?" Lu Su said, "Cao Cao ransacked Kong Rong's house in order to come here to exchange books. Everyone in the world knows about this. Because there are many people in Cao Ying, sir, your existence, and The magic of this library has also been known to the world, and now it is spreading wildly outside, saying, "It is better to study hard for ten years than to read the curator's collection of books." This is why Lu Su took the risk of being caught by Cao Cao. Find Mister."

Yang Hao was speechless.

After studying hard for ten years, it is better to look at the curator's collection of books. Why does this sound so cool?
"The most important thing is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The book that knows the past and deduces the future has been spread all over the world. Now, even Wu Hou who is far away in Jiangdong may be reading your "Three Kingdoms"!" Lu Su said again.

Yang Hao was even more speechless.

As for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he only gave it to Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, but unexpectedly it was passed on.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if Zhuge Liang gets it, he will definitely show it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's reading is equivalent to Zhang Fei's reading, and then Zhao Zilong can also see it. If it is passed from east to west, it will naturally spread.

On Cao Cao's side, the composition of Cao Ying is so complicated, once Cao Cao shows it to others, it will obviously spread it.

Therefore, it is not impossible to spread it all over the world.

In Soochow, Zhou Yu was reading at night in the account of most of the naval forces.

"Nonsense, how could I, Zhou Yu, be pissed to death?" While reading a book, he said to his confidant Lu Meng, "Is the governor so narrow-minded? Ziming, how do you think Bendu treats others? Have you ever been ashamed of anyone?"
