Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

“In August of resistance, soldiers and civilians… died for the country.

Liu Bei was horrified and moved.

There are not many words about martyrdom for the country that are known from the light curtain. For example, in later history, Zhang Yi went from Jiang Wei to the north, led the Wudang Fei army to fight to the death with Wei, and died for the country.

There are more than these that are also recorded in the history of later generations. The descendants of Fu Xunma Liang who died in Yiling, and the descendants of Kong Ming and Yide who died under Mianzhu Pass were all remembered by Liu Bei.

He even remembered what later generations said about the death of the Southern Song Dynasty when hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians threw themselves into the sea to die for their country.

But those words are hard to compare with the heavy eight words heard at this moment.

Outside, there are thieves and monstrosities grinding their teeth, and inside, there are angels declaring the land to be ceded.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were determined to resist the decree. The city was destroyed and the country was destroyed.

Later generations did not explain it in detail, but it was enough for Liu Bei and others to get a glimpse of the context of the Northern Song Dynasty martial arts.

The emperor is ignorant, and the civil servants are divided.

Those who want to save the country through bloody battles will not be able to fulfill their ambitions, and those who want to betray the country and live in an ignoble existence are colluding.

But now it seems that the people are innocent?

Suffering from the separation of the country, suffering from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, living in peace and earning nothing, in the end the emperor of the Song Dynasty easily pushed him into the mouth of the wolf with a stroke of his pen.

Liu Bei just felt it was so ironic. No wonder there was an endless stream of rebels in the Song Dynasty. If he, Liu Bei, had been born at that time, he would have looked for like-minded people to shout out!

On the other side, Zhang Fei was extremely impatient and stood up and cursed:

"This Qin Zong is really a piece of shit!"

"He is stupid and happy, but his wife and daughter suffer misfortune all their lives."

"I can't wait to take him to Taiyuan and stab him!"

The more Zhang Fei talked, the angrier he became. In the end, he couldn't help but punched the short man in front of him to pieces. Then he cupped his hands towards Liu Bei and walked straight out of the hall, but the curse words he left behind were still left on his face. Everyone in this hall heard clearly:

"These pigs and dogs have really stained my eyes and ears."

The atmosphere in the hall was originally a little tense, but after Zhang Fei's intervention, it relaxed a lot. Kong Ming sighed:

"Yide is a straightforward man who can't hold back his words. My lord, please don't mind me."

Before Liu Bei could say anything, Pang Tong said:

"The third general said this from the bottom of his heart, and I feel it too."

The others also nodded together, feeling that Zhang Fei had cursed what he was thinking, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Precisely because they were living in troubled times together, they watched the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers step by step, and felt even more sympathetically.

Especially when I saw the likes of Li Gangzhong trying to carry the country with their iron shoulders, but ultimately died and were demoted, my mood became even worse.

"Everyone has his own good in prosperous times, but how are they similar in troubled times?"

Lu Su shook his head and imitated Kong Ming in writing down what was on his mind in the notebook in front of him. At the same time, he suddenly felt that his previous insistence on honor was extremely ridiculous.

"Tai Shigong said that human death may be heavier than a mountain or lighter than a feather, and the use of it will be different."

Lu Su calmed down with a wry smile, and solemnly cupped his hands towards Liu Bei and said:

"Su is willing to let Duke Xuande do what he wants. I only wish..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Su took a deep breath and said:

"I only hope that the Chinese people can enjoy the wind of great unity and not know how to break away from chaos. I only hope that...the soldiers and civilians will not suffer martyrdom."

Liu Bei waited solemnly and bowed to Lu Su in the same manner:

"Zijing has entrusted you with your trust, and I will definitely live up to it."

"What I said today is a clear lesson for us who are like-minded and follow the same path, and we will definitely live up to it in the world!"

Everyone in the hall was either solemn, laughing, impatient or expected, and they all held their hands together: "I will definitely live up to it!"

None of them were ministers, generals or ministers, nor were they high-profile. For Liu Bei and others at this time, what they wanted was actually quite simple:

In the first half of my life, I saw the people were in disarray and chaos. In recent years, I have seen China suffer a lot.

In fact, the world of great harmony that everyone wants is not exactly the same, but the idea of ​​​​avoiding tragedy is completely similar.

…

"There is no shame in that."

Li Shimin on the couch had lost his previous excitement.

The Ganlu Hall was also quiet, and the only thing that echoed in the hall was Li Shimin's long sigh about the four words.

As for the original text of the Song Dynasty classics that appeared in the light curtain, everyone could see it clearly, and therefore became even more silent.

After a while, words that sounded like an edict or an idea resounded in the Manna Hall:

"Now that Tuyuhun has been eliminated, Guanzhong will be at peace. The Turks are far away from the Western Regions, and Tubo is still ignorant. The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have always been alienated from each other, and they are not a cause of trouble. Therefore, Hebei should be the most important in the world..."

"The task of a hundred years is to take advantage of the climate to cultivate the fields in Hebei, set up official schools to guide education, and set up towns to eliminate bandits to deter Wang surnames. Those who do not follow should move to Guanzhong..."

"I want no royal court in the south and no miscellaneous beauties in the north. I don't want the Turks to be Han children. I want the Turks to disperse and change their customs..."

The orders were very detailed, but Zhenguan civil and military officials listened attentively.

[Before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, an unknown squad leader of the Pingding Army, only participated seriously in the Second Battle of Taiyuan, which was the fiasco where Li Gang took the blame for the Qin Zong Remote Control.

According to historical records, Yue Fei's performance in this battle is still remarkable. He took the initiative to take over the task of going deep behind enemy lines to find out information, and he completed it quite well. In the process, he was even remembered as a fierce general for the first time in official history. heroic figure.

More than a hundred sentry riders led by Yue Fei ran into more than a thousand Jin soldiers near Yuci. When they met on a narrow road and the brave one won, Yue Fei cosplayed the skills of his idol Guan Yu:

"Ride alone in the Tutu formation, enter and exit as many as four, and kill as many of their cavalry generals as possible."

The mission was completed well, but as a scout captain, there was only so much he could do. Apart from that, neither Qinzong's brains nor Li Gang's military capabilities were beyond Yue Fei's ability to interfere.

After the failure of the Second Battle of Taiyuan, as we mentioned earlier, the Jin Army began to move south in a large scale. Yue Fei's Pingding Army of only 3,000 people was very determined to fight, but it was difficult to stand alone when Zhending Mansion fell rapidly.

Three thousand people resisted the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Jin troops for half a month and finally fell helplessly. Yue Fei and several Pao Ze had no choice but to break through the encirclement and return to their hometown.

The story of his mother-in-law having his mother-in-law tattooed is a familiar one nowadays, and the four words "loyalty and serving the country" tattooed on Yue Fei's back by his mother-in-law are also clearly stated in the story.

However, this story is not found in the annals of history. In the official history, when Yue Fei was tried as a prisoner, the four characters on his back were "Serve the country with all your loyalty."

Although the mother-in-law's tattoo may be a rumor, there is no doubt that the mother-in-law is a great mother.

At that time, Yue Fei's hometown had already fallen. With Jin soldiers surrounding him and the situation precarious, his mother-in-law first scolded Yue Fei for his idea of ​​taking his family to the mountains to seek peace, and then cut off the love between his son and his daughter:

"My life is flying to serve the country by joining the army"

The destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty briefly broke the shackles of "using culture to control military force" that had lasted for hundreds of years since the beginning of the Song Dynasty.

The mother-in-law cut off her son's last hesitation with her righteousness and determination.

Yue Fei, who was alone at the age of 23, began to join the army for the third time.

The legend of the famous anti-gold general has just begun. 】
