[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Wisps of light shone through the darkness, making the eyes that had been closed for a long time feel a little uncomfortable.He subconsciously raised his arm to cover it, staring for a while, only to realize that the sleeves that were originally white and snowy were not only covered with dust, but also torn in several places, which should have been scratched by branches when he fell.Even so, though, he should still be thankful for those branches.If there weren't those towering trees as a buffer, even if the cliff was not high, he wouldn't just feel sore but not have a fatal wound.

But the soreness was annoying enough.In the wilderness and old forest, he didn't have to pretend to be a dignified young man, he simply lay here on his back and rested for a while, waiting for Shi Yuan or A Jun to come to him on the mountain.No matter how greedy he is, he knows how to measure. Even if an accident happens like this, it won't be in some deep mountain forest. Shi Yuan and Ah Jun are so smart and understand their own temperaments, and they will definitely find them before dark. I just don't know how many hours I will be lectured by Yueying and Shiyuan when I go back.

Well, as long as you don't talk back.

Thinking this way, he was about to lie down on his pillow leisurely, rest for a while, and when he was about to close his eyes completely, he caught a glimpse of a cold light from the corner of his eye. When he looked vigilantly, he found a sharp dagger was pressing against his chest. neck, and the one holding the dagger is Guo Jia who is sitting next to him with a half-smile.

This is not Longzhong, there is no Shi Yuan who solves his troubles with a cold face, there is no Ah Jun who dispenses medicine to him while smoothing things over, and there is no Yueying who forcefully pours himself a large bowl of ginger soup with a gentle and gentle smile. .

He's already retired.

With the clarity of consciousness, all the memories came back to my mind.He remembered the earthquake before he fell into a coma: the earthquake was not violent, and it didn't have much impact on the armies of the two warring parties, but it caused a lot of trouble for them who were close to the cliff.In the chaos, it was unknown who grabbed and who rolled down first.However, to say that it is a cliff, it is better to say that it is a higher hillside, and there are so many trees underneath, the danger is actually not high.Before he fell into a coma, he was still thinking that no matter what, his body should be better than Guo Jia, but he didn't expect that it was Guo Jia who woke up first.

In a state of hostility, waking up first and waking up late is the difference between life and death, such as the sharp knife on his neck now.

Liang's recent luck is really not very good.

He sighed, but wasn't too worried.No matter how you look at it, Guo Jia doesn't look like he just woke up.So if he wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago, and he wouldn't wait until now.

"Jia is just too indecisive." Guo Jia seemed to see through what Zhuge Liang was thinking, "However, if Kong Ming dreams about Spring and Autumn for a while, maybe he really won't be able to wake up again."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he moved the dagger away and put it back into its sheath.Zhuge Liang looked at the Panlong with its teeth and claws on the dagger scabbard, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became. After staring at it for a few seconds, he remembered that it was the one Liu Bei gave him for self-defense.

"A gentleman does not take away what others love, and he is not a gentleman if he is good, but he also knows the truth that he should not do to others what he does not want."

Sitting up and taking the dagger delivered by Guo Jiatong, Zhuge Liang looked at the cold light reflected on the dagger for a while, and then looked at Guo Jia with interest: "Feng Xiao really doesn't want to kill Liang, and I'm not afraid that Liang will take this Did the dagger kill you?"

Guo Jia let Zhuge Liang scrutinize him frankly: "Jia said it, but Jia hesitated for a long time. If Kong Ming wakes up a little later, the situation will be unknown."

"Indecisive? Liang didn't know that Fengxiao would have something to do with this kind of word."

"That's because Kong Ming doesn't know Jia well. Jia has always been fond of beautiful women. This time, she naturally becomes indecisive."

"Love the fragrance and cherish the jade? Is Feng Xiao praising Liang's appearance?"

"What does Kong Ming think?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly: "Liang thinks what Feng Xiao said is true."

This is unceremoniously acknowledging Guo Jia's compliments on his appearance.

Guo Jia has teased others like this many times, and it is rare to see someone who is neither angry nor ashamed, which makes his eyes more interesting.Seeing that Zhuge Liang was still playing with the dagger, he asked with a smile: "The dagger Jia was returned to Kong Ming, but Kong Ming wanted to use the dagger to kill Jia? To be honest, although you and I are not generals, Jia is definitely no match for you." of."

"Liang feels the same way, and there seems to be no reason for Liang not to attack Fengxiao." As he said this, he snapped the dagger back into its sheath and put it back on his waist, "But, that's all, whoever is called Liang is also Those who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

Obviously he got the advantage but refused to admit that he owed him kindness, and within a few words, he repaid what he had molested him before.Looking at the sly and sly smile on his lips, and the never-ending undercurrent surging in the depths of his eyes, Guo Jia really felt that Zhuge Liang was more like this thousand-year-old fox that had transformed into a human in the mountains and fields, so wise and like a demon.

"What Kong Ming and Jia heard is really different."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously, "What kind of person is Liang from what Feng Xiao heard?"

"Hmm..." Guo Jia tried hard to recall the key words he heard before he fell asleep that day, "The Zhuge Kongming that Jia heard about was majestic and dignified, well-behaved, and caring for the common people of the country..."

"Pfft." Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing, "I know, Feng Xiao must have heard about it from Yuan Zhi."

Guo Jia's eyes flickered: "Kong Ming really knows Yuan Zhi. After Jia heard that Yuan Zhi came to Xudu, he went to visit him, but no matter what Jia said, he didn't say a word." Thinking of Xu Shu's sworn silence at the beginning After all, Guo Jia was helpless to treat him as a transparent person, "Until Jia and Yuan Zhi asked Kong Ming, Yuan Zhi finally answered Jia. As for the latter, if Jia didn't say anything, Kong Ming should know." I don't know if it's because I was forced to remain silent for too long, once Xu Shu found the breach, it didn't take long for Xu Shu to talk non-stop. Drowsy, and when he woke up, he was already on his bed.

"Actually, Liang feels that what Feng Xiao and Liang have heard is not the same." Zhuge Liang took in all the helplessness that gradually emerged in Guo Jia's eyes when he recalled the past, and the smile on his lips grew stronger, "If it weren't for the opposing positions, Liang Maybe Feng Xiao and Feng Xiao can become good friends."

"It's a pity that in this dispute, even in this deep mountain and old forest, you and I are still enemies. However, enemies and friends are not contradictory at all.

Therefore, Jia is willing to make Kong Ming a friend. "

The breeze blew up the messy hair and the green shirt that was loosely draped on the body. It should have been described as a messy appearance, but because of the lightly curved corners of Guo Jia's lips, it became a romantic charm.Those black eyes that should always be full of calculations are always clear, as if telling others that the owner of these eyes is a cheerful and unrestrained person, and has nothing to do with conspiracy and treachery.

Guo Jia is really different from what he expected.

"Actually, there is another reason for Jia's hesitation just now." Guo Jia stood up and patted the dirt on his body. "What if Jia just stabbed the dagger in and General Zhao came down to look for it, then Jiake's life would be lost." up.

But now it seems that Jiaqi is worrying.We chatted for so long, but no one came to look for it. It seems that they couldn't find us before dark today.So, why don't Kong Ming give the dagger to Jia to make Jia regret it again? "

Zhuge Liang ignored Guo Jia's last words: "Since that's the case, why not find a place for Liang and Feng Xiao to spend the night?"

Guo Jia shrugged, expressing his acquiescence.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang also stood up, patted the dirt on the white clothes, and then walked to the right.

"Kong Ming knows the way here?"

"If Liang even knows the road in this remote mountain, then he will really be a god. However, Liang can watch the sky at night, and the stars will guide the way for you and me."

When Zhuge Liang said this, his tone was extremely serious, and he vowed that if Guo Jia was blind and could not see the scorching sun in the sky, he would definitely believe his words.

"The night is cold and there are wild beasts coming and going. Kong Ming shouldn't be joking at this time." Guo Jia also became serious, "Let's take the road to the left."

"Could it be that Fengxiao knows the way here?"

"No. However, before Kong Ming woke up, Jia used weeds to make up a hexagram, and the hexagram directed you and me to take the left path."

"The dispute over celestial phenomena and terrain is not easy to handle." Zhuge Liang squeezed his chin seriously and thought about it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Liang thought of a good way."

After Fu Er said the "genius" method, Zhuge Liang squatted down, put the dagger on the ground, and held it for a while. After a few seconds, the dagger stopped spinning, and the head of the dragon with its teeth and claws on the dagger scabbard was facing the left.

"It seems that Jia is better at this. Let's go, Zhuge Yaodao."

"Then it's time to work, Guo Banxian."

I don't know if it was fate, or Guo Jia really proficient in Yishu, the two finally found a cave on the left side where they could live.By the time the two finished picking up firewood and the fire was lit, it was completely dark.

The blazing fire illuminated the cave as bright as day, dispelling the cold air in the mountains at night.When they were bored, the two of them sat around the firewood in the cave, and the only thing they could do was chat.

"Speaking of which, many people in Jingzhou are from the north who are avoiding chaos. Is Kong Ming the same as them, not from Jingzhou?"

"Yeah." Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "When Liang was three years old, his mother passed away, and his father passed away when Liang was eight years old. At that time, there was turmoil in his hometown, so Liang brought his younger brother and uncle to Jingzhou."

"That's right." Guo Jia's eyes drifted away, as if caught in some distant memory, "In fact, Jia is quite envious of Kong Ming." At least, in the same situation, he still has younger brothers, uncles, and relatives. .

After a pause, Guo Jia came back to his senses and asked again, "Where is Kong Ming's hometown?"

This time it was Zhuge Liang who was silent.After a while, he said softly: "One, Feng Xiao must remember the place."

"Huh? Where is that? Jiaqi, let's guess..."

"Xuzhou."

In an instant, the cave fell into a deathly silence, only the crackling of firewood was heard.

Zhuge Liang threw a piece of firewood into the blazing fire, and gradually recovered the smile on his lips: "Feng Xiao, don't be nervous. Liang said that he left his hometown because of his father's death. That year, Liang was only eight years old. It is the Yellow Turban Army who are bleeding rivers across the fields.

The mountains and rivers are declining, and the people are displaced. Before Liang left Xuzhou, he made up his mind that he must rely on what he had learned throughout his life to end this troubled world. "

Guo Jia secretly laughed.He wasn't nervous when he started killing people in Xuzhou, so why should he be nervous after so many years.Just now, it was nothing more than being a little surprised when I heard the word "Xuzhou" suddenly, and I was in a trance for a while when I remembered some long past events.He also threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and he continued to casually chat with Zhuge Liang: "So, Liu Xuande is the person Kong Ming thinks can end the troubled times? Or is it just because Liu Xuande completely trusts Kong Ming's words? Forgive me, if it's the latter, then It's just because Liu Xuande has no other choice. Kong Ming has to pay for it all his life, why bother."

Zhuge Liang didn't respond directly to Guo Jia's words, the fire light shone on his jade-like face, mottled with light and shadow.He also seems to be stuck in the memories of the past: "You know from Feng Xiao, when did Liang meet the lord for the first time?"

"Three visits to the thatched cottage, the monarch and his ministers know each other." Guo Jia replied fluently, "Jia can still find out this information."

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Actually, maybe even the lord doesn't know. Before he came to the thatched cottage, Liang took the initiative to meet him." Speaking of the past, his eyes softened more and more, "At that time, the lord had just set up troops in Fancheng. After hearing Mr. Shui Jing's introduction, Liang went to meet him. Of course, Liang didn't use his real name, and he also brought a bamboo hat. In the end, we broke up unhappy."

"Oh?" At first I thought this was a story about the monarch and his ministers getting acquainted with each other. Hearing such a development, Guo Jia suddenly changed his drowsy look and became interested. We talked very happily, could it be that Kong Ming's extraordinary appearance is the key?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and glared at Guo Jia, and continued to talk about the past in a gentle voice:

"When Liang met the lord for the first time, he told the lord the art of strengthening the country and the way to control the army. He suggested that the lord should do farming and training soldiers, punish harsh laws, reward good people without avoiding common soldiers, and punish ministers without avoiding ministers, so as to achieve great things."

"As far as Liu Bei's understanding is concerned, he is not Qin Xiaogong, so he definitely won't listen to this."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and said again: "So, the second time Liang met the lord, what he said was changed to the art of the monarch facing south, recuperate, hang down and bring the world into order."

"The way of Yao and Shun." Guo Jia nodded.

"As a result, the lord fell asleep before Liang finished speaking." Thinking of Liu Bei's expression of concentration but unable to listen, Zhuge Liang couldn't help being angry and amused, "It's not the king who chooses the ministers in today's affairs. , The minister also chooses the king. However, the lord did not need to be domineering at that time, and the emperor refused to listen. In a fit of anger, Liang went back to Longzhong directly.

After a while, the lord came to Longzhong on his own initiative, but at that time Liang's anger was still there, so he kept dragging his feet and refused to see him.After a few times, Liang really couldn't make up a reason for his absence, so he had to welcome the lord in. "

"...So, Duke Xuande actually went there more than three times?"

After receiving Zhuge Liang's nod of affirmation, Guo Jia suddenly felt sorry for Liu Bei, and thought that he might not know the real reason why Zhuge Liang rejected him from the thatched cottage every time, and felt even more sad for him, almost sad Laughed to tears.

"Cough, cough, cough," Guo Jia finally managed to hold back a smile after coughing a few times, but the corners of his lips still raised unconsciously from time to time, "Actually, with Liu Xuande's character, wouldn't it be good for Kong Ming to just talk to him directly?"

"Liang just never thought that in the troubled times, there would be such a person as the lord." His handsome face, illuminated by the fire, became softer and coated with a touch of warmth, "In a world of great strife, I want to make a difference." The princes of the world must follow the hegemony to make the country rich and strong, and those who want to defend the country and the people must follow the emperor's way and do nothing. The most difficult thing to succeed is the kingly way. Ordinary princes should generally be the last to listen to this."

He paused, suddenly remembered something, and asked Guo Jiadao, "What is the Han Dynasty in Feng Xiao's opinion?"

When asked suddenly, Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It doesn't make sense to ask Jia this question. But if Jia really needs to answer, the so-called Han Dynasty, for Jia, is only a matter of Cao Mengde's thought." In the future, if Meng De wants to become an emperor, he will try his best to clear the obstacles for Meng De; if...he will also fulfill the heart of a child.

Thinking of the person in his heart, Guo Jia's eyes could not help softening, but in the softness, they gradually took on a bit of sadness.

"However, Jia knows that the answer in Kong Ming's heart must not be this. Therefore, since Jia and Kong Ming are friends, he persuaded Kong Ming again, the way of heaven is ruthless, before going against the will of heaven, Kong Ming should think about it first, and Kong Ming will not pay the price. rise."

"Not to mention whether Liang can afford to pay, how does Fengxiao know that what Liang is going to do will violate the will of God?" Zhuge Liang asked back.He raised his eyebrows lightly, and his voice revealed a bit of self-confidence that belonged only to young people.

"The sky is impermanent, and the way of heaven is unpredictable. If it is so bright, I am more willing to believe that the sky is what people want, and people will conquer the sky."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhuge Liang bumped into Guo Jia's eyes as soon as he raised his eyes, and was startled.The emotions in Guo Jia's eyes at this time are really too complicated and strange, it seems to be sadness, but also joy, expectation, and despair, all kinds of emotions that are even opposite to each other are contained in his eyes In the eyes.At this angle, his loose hair just cast a shadow, so even the warm firelight left Guo Jia's eyes.

Suddenly, Guo Jia pulled Zhuge Liang out of the cave, and Zhuge Liang sensitively felt the coldness of Guo Jia's fingertips.

Outside the cave, there was a clear wind and no moon, and the night sky was full of twinkling stars. On such a night, Zhuge Liang knew very well that it was the most suitable night for stargazing and divination.

And Guo Jia seems to have really pulled him out to watch the stars.I saw Guo Jia raised his arm and pointed to the north: "Kong Ming is proficient in astronomical phenomena, he should know, what star is that?"

"The star is in Ziwei, surrounded by all the stars, which will never change from ancient times. It is the Beichen Emperor Star."

"Then, what is that star next to Beichen?"

Guo Jia pointed to the bright and dark star closest to Beichenxing.It is very close to Beichen, and it should have the power of the emperor star, but its light and dark are uncertain.

Is the north not the north, the future is not clear, the emperor is not the emperor?

Guo Jia didn't seem to intend to hear Zhuge Liang's answer at all. Thousands of stars sprinkled in his eyes, and Zhuge Liang vaguely seemed to understand the emotions condensed in his eyes.

It seems that Guo Jia has seen through the movement of the stars and the direction of the destiny.However, perhaps because he knew too much, even the ordinary joys and sorrows became small.

Under the vast starry night sky, what remains unchanged from ancient times is only the vicissitudes of solitude.

Zhuge Liang heard Guo Jia's lips say again: "Ten years later, that star will be completely dimmed. At that time, Kong Ming will understand Jia's meaning."

He lowered his head and looked at Zhuge Liang's eyes, which seemed to still have the afterglow of the starry sky: "Kong Ming is extremely talented, his strategy is the best among ordinary people, and he knows everything about governing the country and training soldiers. Why should he sacrifice his life for Liu Xuande?"

Although he didn't fully understand the meaning of Guo Jia's previous words, the meaning of the latter words was very clear. It was nothing more than admonishing him not to sacrifice his life for Liu Xuande, who wanted soldiers but had no money.If he really agreed, Guo Jia's next words would probably be to recruit himself to Cao Ying.Each is their own master, even though Guo Jia's mysterious appearance is a bit strange, but Zhuge Liang doesn't feel any discomfort.

Suppressing the strange instinct in his heart, he stretched out his sleeves, and the night wind blew his sleeves fluttering: "Ten years, it's quite a long time. Things in the world are impermanent, maybe before that, the ambition of the Lord and Liang has already been achieved." Not sure?

However, Liang really didn't intend to pay for this troubled world for the rest of his life.There are still some mulberry fields in Longzhong's house. When the world is at peace, Liang will go home and cultivate the long acres.At that time, if Feng Xiao is willing to come, Liang will plant a altar of good wine for Feng Xiao early, and drink with Feng Xiao, how about it? "

The night wind blew his white clothes, and also scattered the stars in his eyes. He looked like a banished immortal who was about to ascend to heaven, but he was talking about wine and hemp after becoming famous and returning to the field.Guo Jia will remember his high-spirited appearance without fear of the ups and downs in the road ahead, and Guo Jia will remember it for many, many years.

"...Okay." Guo Jia blinked again, and his eyes returned to the clarity of the past, with a faint smile, "Then we have made an agreement. When the world is peaceful and the spring is full, Jia will go to Longzhong Ask Kong Ming for a drink. You have to drink until you are so drunk that you can dream about [-] springs and autumns before you can afford to give up."

"Cough, but Yueying doesn't allow Liang to drink so much wine. Besides, Liang only promised Feng Xiao a jar of wine. For the remaining 99 spring and autumn, Feng Xiao may have to bring his own wine."

"...Zhuge Kongming, can you be a little more elegant and arrogant. You see, when Jia made this kind of agreement with the lord before, the lord never mentioned these unsightly things."

"After all, Liang doesn't have much land left behind. The world is peaceful, and the price of silk cloth has fallen. Liang is also forced to live within his means. After all, there is a younger brother in the family..."

"Then sell Sang Tian for wine. How can thousands of dollars be more precious than a few moments of drunkenness? Don't think that Jia doesn't know. Today, Jia was standing far away from the edge of the cliff, and he would fall off in the end, wouldn't he?" because of you……"

The two talked about their well-known extravagant hopes with a smile, and walked back to the cave side by side.After a while, Guo Jia let out a sigh of relief, leaned on Zhuge Liang's shoulder, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

"Feng Xiao?" Zhuge Liang called softly, and the only answer was Guo Jia's shallow breathing.

After confirming that Guo Jia was really asleep, the smile on Zhuge Liang's lips gradually faded. Looking at the crackling and burning firewood, he began to reorganize everything that happened today:

When he saw that his army was held back by Cao Jun, he knew that all of today's plans could not be achieved.Even if he used the formation method to make Cao Jun overestimate the soldiers in the formation, even if he and Zhao Yun brought the soldiers and horses to attack the rear were not a small number, when Cao Jun took the initiative and could return to the army immediately for rescue, he completely lost significance.

Avoiding fighting and delaying Cao Jun's southward speed to gain time as much as possible is their real purpose.

And at this moment, he looked up and saw the black cloud like a long snake stretching across the sky, which was even more abrupt than the continuous black cloud today three days ago, like a ferocious black flood dragon.To devour the entire sky.

He is familiar with astronomical phenomena, and he calculated three days ago that an earthquake will occur today.Just in case, he chose this place as the battlefield.But now, the best strategy has been cracked by the enemy. Even if Guo Jia is lucky enough to be tied back to the camp, it will only stimulate the two sides to fight.

Then, the earth shook and the mountains shook, using their temporary superiority in troops, they drove Guo Jia's horse to the edge of the cliff without leaving a trace, and then he and he fell off the cliff together seemingly by accident.He considered the possibility of being injured, but only if he fell down with him, could he guide Guo Jia to go deeper into the Maolin, prolonging the time for Cao Jun to find Guo Jia.

He can only bet that Cao Cao will really care about the life and death of a counselor as the lord said in the Xuzhou incident, and bet that the envoys from Shu will bring back the news they are expecting during the time he has worked so hard to win. .

Liu Bei's current strength is still too weak, and there are too few things he can rely on.

So far, everything seemed to be going well. He and Guo Jia were not seriously injured, and Guo Jia followed him to the cave that had been prepared long ago without any doubts.But Guo Jia told him clearly the last few words that Guo Jia joked with him. From the very beginning, Guo Jia knew their plan, but he still welcomed it.

Turning his head sideways, he looked at Guo Jia leaning on his shoulder.His face was peaceful, his eyes were closed, and his brows were stretched. He was obviously sleeping soundly. He had no defense against Zhuge Liang, and he looked clearly harmless.But this is the kind of person who even conspired to assist Cao Cao to pacify the north, set up a poisonous plan to kill General Guan, separated the alliance between Sun and Liu, and forced the lord to the point where he had to abandon Jingzhou.

Before seeing Guo Jia, he heard what Liu Bei said about Guo Jia in the past, and made up many possible appearances of Guo Jia, but most of them were completely different from what he saw today.

He even felt that if Guo Jia hadn't gone to Huangquan until Heqing Haiyan Day, maybe he and Guo Jia could really become friends.

The night gradually deepened, and the drowsiness gradually became stronger. Zhuge Liang threw another piece of firewood into the fire.She closed her eyes, planning to take a nap for a while.There are still too many things that require his support, he dare not force himself to rest:

In the dream of shallow sleep, there was a snowstorm, and he seemed to have returned to the thatched cottage in Longzhong.

Outside the thatched cottage, in front of Chai Fei, the three stopped and stood.The latter two had already shown patience due to the long wait, and only the leader bowed respectfully, even though the wind and snow had covered their hair crowns with blue hair.

He raised his head, and as expected, he saw himself holding a book and reading by the window.However, when it comes to reading, my eyes are no longer on the bamboo slips in front of me, but on the visitors from outside the hut.He still remembered that he was thinking in his heart at that time, how could there be such a stupid and persistent person as Liu Xuande in the world, who couldn't even walk a few steps forward to hide under the eaves of the snow.Sighing for a long time, Ah Jun pretended to be belatedly to invite the three people outside the house into the house, only saying that he would return in the spring after going out for a long journey, and cooked hot tea for the three to warm their bodies, leaving They were not asked to leave until the wind and snow stopped.

He remembered that the winter of the 12th year of Jian'an was too short, so short that he forgot to eat and sleep, and had no time to review all the books in the future; Night is looking forward to the early arrival of spring, and the early return of "myself who traveled far away".

Finally, when the white snow was just melting and the peach blossoms were newly blooming, he raised his hand to stroke the fallen petals on the strings, and heard a familiar knock on the door.He welcomed Liu Bei into the house, sat down, and made tea. The tea still had the aroma of peach blossoms, which was the dew on the petals collected by Yueying.

"Mr. Zhuge, Bei's wish in his life is to help the Han family, bring peace to the world, and return the common people to a peaceful and prosperous world. I don't know what advice you have, sir?"

"It is not difficult to pacify the world. If Duke Xuande's ambition is only here, he only needs to find a state to settle down, rectify the state governance, focus on agriculture and collect taxes, mobilize the horse and force the army, and build a good Jiangdong. When the world changes, he will go north immediately. It will not be more than ten years. , the world can be settled. However, it is really difficult to help the Han family that Duke Xuande asked for."

"Why did you say that, sir?"

"The rites collapsed and the music was broken, the chaotic officials and thieves came out; the gods and treasures were lost, and the world was vying for power. The Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and the little emperor and old officials were tightly controlled by Cao Cao in Xudu. It was very difficult to support them. It was difficult to rule the world with the kingly way." .”

"Sir, I'm sorry to offend, but I would like to ask you, what is the Han Dynasty in your mind?"

He looked at himself at that time and was stunned, because Liu Bei's question sounded too easy to answer, but in fact it was too difficult to answer.What is the Han Dynasty?Can the little emperor and the old officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Xudu be called the Han Dynasty?It seems possible and it seems impossible, because it is not today's generation that supports the majestic style of the past, but also the horses that attacked the Huns in the lonely smoke of the desert, the gorgeous and soft silks and satins, the historical style of straight writing, and the academics gathered to learn Students, the direction of righteousness who raised his arms and shouted in the party prison did not hesitate to die, and people like Liu Bei who foolishly thought that the Han Dynasty could be restored.

But what exactly is the Han Dynasty?

He stared into Liu Bei's eyes together with his former self.After experiencing half-body wandering, those eyes should have been full of vicissitudes and calculations, but to this day, Liu Bei's eyes are still black and white, and under the gentle appearance is the stubbornness that never regrets. The generosity I have passed is the heart of a child who seems innocent and ridiculous in the chaos of the world.

The answer is imminent.

"Where benevolence and righteousness lie, is the Han Dynasty."
