Chapter 218 Meng De and Zhuang language distinguishes the country and dynasty

Cao Cao knew with one glance that Guan Sheng was in a state of mind.

He smiled and said: "General Guan, let me put it lightly - General, have you ever thought about how you will deal with yourself if you lose this battle?"

Guan Sheng raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to refute, but did not speak. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "The son of the Guan family takes loyalty and righteousness as the foundation of his life. Since he is ordered by the country, he will only be a common man, and he will not care if he is stupid or blunt."

Success or failure are the eight characters."

Cao Cao nodded in praise and said: "As expected of the descendants of Guan Gong. In this case, Wu wishes the general victory -"

After speaking, he paused for a moment, smiled slightly and said: "But if the battle situation is really unfavorable, the general might as well think of three old sayings."

Guan Sheng was curious: "I would like to hear the details!"

Cao Cao said: "The first sentence is, Heaven sees me and the people see me; God listens to me and the people listen."

Guan Sheng nodded doubtfully: "This is what is stated in the Book of Documents."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "The second sentence, the vast traces of Yu, are painted as Jiuzhou."

Guan Sheng became more and more confused: "This is what is said in "Zuo Zhuan"."

Cao Cao nodded and continued: "The third sentence is that the people are the most valuable, the country is the second, and the king is the least."

Guan Sheng felt completely confused and said blankly: "Ah, this is what Mencius said."

Cao Cao said: "The general is knowledgeable! Once you understand these three sentences, you will know what a country is."

Guan Sheng's heart moved, and he saw that Cao Cao had gone around in such a big circle, and it seemed that he was referring to his "ordered country". He thought for a while and asked: "Brother Wu, you can teach me!"

Cao Cao opened his arms and said sternly: "The sky above your head, the soil under your feet, the rivers, mountains and acres of land, and the Chinese Miao descendants, this is the country. The country you are talking about, the temples, monarchs and ministers, are the imperial court!"

Brother Wu exclaimed in shock: "How can we be the same?"

"Small things are the same!"

, reconcile yin and yang, promote the righteous path, conquer the ministers here, defend the country from enemies, protect the territory and the people, and each perform their duties, then the court is the country, and the country is the court."

At this point, he paused for a moment, and his voice became lower and lower, making the window paper buzz: "If the imperial court wastes its national power for the enjoyment of a few people, covers the sky, shows the power of the powerful, imposes tyranny internally, and brutally abuses the common people, what will happen here?"

If you flatter foreigners and kneel down to beg for peace, then the country is the country and the court is the court, and they are not one and the same. This kind of court is a small harm to the country! Given time, no righteous people will rise up and follow the Tang-Wu revolution, which is in accordance with heaven.

Humans too!”

Those words were spoken in silence, and everyone listened with fascination. Li Kui sighed: "Ah, what court, what country, what on earth is my brother talking about? Why do I, Tieniu, feel like my blood is boiling?"

Cao Cao glanced at me and whispered to me loudly: "Brother said a few words, but it seems to be just one sentence."

Li Kui looked at Cao Cao in surprise: "Which sentence?"

Cao Cao's occasionally dull expression suddenly turned cold and cold, and he uttered a few words: "Brother said, go against it!"

Everyone was shocked in their hearts. They paid attention to the whispers of the seven people, but when they saw Yan Qing's eyes shining brightly, he said loudly: "What my brother said has been since ancient times, and there is no one who can explain it thoroughly!"

Zhu Tong clenched his fists hard, and his chest was filled with excitement: "This is... the image of a hero!"

Lu Junyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lu is so arrogant that he also studied. My family is all scholars, but how can I say such earth-shattering words? Could it be that your brother actually reads the same book as you?"

Brother Wu was stunned for a long time, then quickly turned his face and met Hao Siwen's eyes.

The seven brothers used to have a lot of things to do, and occasionally discussed the ups and downs of the past and present together, but why didn't they have Xing Ning's vision?

For a moment, I just felt shocked and inexplicable. You could say that I am deviant. I just quoted the scriptures. What I said was completely brilliant. It was obviously the way of heaven. You could say that what I said was unreasonable. Doesn't this mean that,

Is it reasonable to overthrow that imperial court?

At that time, the officials of the dynasty appointed Cai Jing, Zhu Meng and others to do small things in the south, so that the people were struggling to make a living. Is this just "wasting the national power for the enjoyment of a few people"? There were still no such powers as Yang Jian and Tong Guan.

Even eunuchs and servants can run rampant in the streets. Is this in line with the saying "Covering the sky to highlight the power of the powerful?"

As for the words "administering harsh government, cruelty to the people, flattering foreigners, and begging for peace", it is even more similar to the line drawing technique of painting, and vividly outlines a "map of the political affairs of the Xiao Song Dynasty"!

Thinking of that, Brother Wu trembled all over and looked at Xing Ning in horror: "Xuan Zan, he, who is he?"

Guan Sheng smiled and said: "There is a capital in Yanggu County, and people in the world call it 'Wu Mengde', Wu Zhi."

Brother Wu shook his head repeatedly, with a very strange look on his face, and said with a smile: "Tou, haha, tou!"

He laughed a few times, but seemed to have suddenly woken up from a drunken dream. He clasped his fists fiercely and said, "That's it! After all, I am the commander of a small army, and I am busy with military affairs. Since I thanked Xing Ning for returning your brother, my superior, my superior, then

Then he left. If I don’t have time before, I can come again to praise you and ask for advice.”

Xing Ning cupped his hands and said with a smart smile: "General Guan, please do as you please."

Brother Wu pulled Hao Siwen, and the two of them walked away slowly, as if they were avoiding some kind of epidemic, with expressions of fear.

Guan Sheng smiled and winked, and Zhu Tong chased him out in small steps: "General Guan, General Hao and other subordinates, many of them disturbed the people before they were defeated, and were caught by the county's messengers, and they were all imprisoned in the original camp."

Xing Ning said hastily: "Thank you less, thank you less."

The two of us fled Yuncheng County for our lives. When we reached the army, we finally made peace. Brother Wu said: "These broken troops must be recovered and organized into troops before we start the campaign.

Hao Siwen was surprised and said: "Ah, you can lead that army."

Brother Wu smiled and said: "Worry, you have already made a plan in your mind to let Jiao Ting gather the defeated troops. He will only serve as a deputy general by your side."

Xing Ningjin also wanted to see these bird soldiers throwing her way, so she immediately nodded in response.

Returning to the camp, Jiao Ting slowly greeted him. Xing Ning was willing to mention the grand discussion of the "national court", but he just said a few words, saying that "Wu Mengde" was extravagant and generous. Everyone explained the misunderstanding and naturally let him go.

Then he asked Jiao Ting to lead two thousand troops and go to the vanguard camp to collect these defeated soldiers.

The next day, Brother Wu broke out of camp and met up with Jiao Ting.

On the eighth day, the entire army was dispatched and approached the village ten miles away from Liangshanbo.

On July 77, the weather was sunny and the east wind was gentle.

The officers and soldiers inspected the horses and reported back. Thousands of boats raced under the water and came slowly.

Brother Wu quickly led his troops out and lined up behind the camp to wait.

At that time, Liangshan's boat was also close to the shore, and seven thousand people got off the boat, slowly forming a formation in order.

Brother Wu breathed a sigh of relief and pointed: "Can you see that? The grass bandits actually lined up with their backs to the water. If they were victorious, they would scramble to get off the boat in a hurry, and they would definitely collapse. It can be seen that even if the grass bandits have no brave generals, they still know the art of war.

!”

At that time, the formation on the opposite side moved, and a majestic young man came out first, with ten young generals on both sides lined up in a wild goose pattern, all with bright helmets and showing off their power.

Just listen to this little man shout in a low voice: "You are the 'Top Tower King' Chao Gai! Brother Wu, the eight-pronged conquest strategy of You and others has been seen through long ago. Now Li Chengshen of Xiaomingfu has died, and low Tangzhou has lost his life. Only the remaining

You are alone all the way, and you dare to be attacked by a dead or alive enemy. If you surrender early, all of his corpses will be saved!"

As soon as those words came out, there was a sudden commotion in the army camp. Many generals knew about the plan of the Eighth Route Army to conquer Liangshan. Unexpectedly, they had just arrived, and the other two routes had been wiped out, and their morale suddenly dropped.

When Brother Wu saw the expressions on everyone's faces, he thought that he was in a good mood. If he talks to me again, wouldn't it be a waste of morale? As soon as he raised his knife, he wanted to go out and invite a fight. He wanted to kill a few of my generals first, so as to boost the morale of the army.

My every move was caught by Xing Ning's eyes. How could General Jiao Tingxin make another move? Let's go and kill a few people to establish your authority. He immediately rushed out on horseback, brandished the steel knife in his hand, and shouted: "Grass bandits.

,Who dares to fight with you Jiao Ting?"

In the Liangshan formation, Yang Zhi shouted in a low voice: "Ugly horse, don't be arrogant, wait for Yang to come and meet him!" He dragged the ancestral gold-backed mountain knife backwards, slapped the horse and rushed down behind the formation.

When Xing Ning saw the green mark on the other person's face, and when he heard his surname was Yang, he was moved in his heart and shouted: "Isn't that guy the former palace envoy, the 'green-faced beast' Yang Zhi? A certain family

In Bianjing, I heard about his reputation for bravery, but it is a pity that he turned into a bandit in front of a dignified general, and tarnished the name of his ancestors. How can he see Yang Laolinggong in front of the four springs in my day?"

Yang Zhi said angrily: "Anyone with no words can say that this guy, Low Qiu, once persecuted him! According to the Sa family, such a treacherous official who brought trouble to the court, his guy still has to sacrifice his life for me, so he is really a villain."

grown ups!"

The two swore at each other, were a little angry at each other, and did not waste any words. They waved two knives and fought like iron.

There is no distinction between religions: Meng Dezhuang talks about the country and the dynasty, Brother Wu loses his voice and becomes lonely. When facing Liangshan, the drums and horns vibrate, a pair of ugly ghosts each brandish their swords.
