Chapter 1940 And exchange dreams for wine money
『To be born but not to have, to be but not to rely on, to grow but not to be slaughtered is called Xuande. 』
Liu Bei''s character was created by himself. He likes this word very much, but Lu Zhi doesn''t like it. He even thinks that Liu Bei is like a toad squatting on the ground, with such a big tone. Too lazy to give it to him.
When Liu Bei was young, he pointed to the crooked neck tree in front of the door and said, "I will take this Yubaogai car." ’ Then the uncle stepped forward and shouted angrily: ‘Don’t lie, you will destroy my family! 』
Liu Bei always thought that he fell in love with him, but in retrospect, he actually fell in love with him. Dreaming of this non-male and non-female guy, he almost went faster while yelling coquettishly, and when Liu Bei was exhausted, he took out a guy bigger than Liu Bei, and dealt with Liu Bei ruthlessly. pause.
Han Dynasty talked about background, family, resources, and appreciation of talent, but not talent.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Liu Yan...
Even the hussar general Fei Qian, who is not the "Second Generation Official" and who has no background?
When Liu Bei embarked on that ambitious road, he was doomed to wander. There is no end, only a starting point. The world is so big, Liu Bei also wants to see it, but after seeing the bigger world, Liu Bei is not willing to go back to the original place.
When you are a cannon fodder, you have to face death every moment. Either you will be a duckweed that drifts with the tide, and you don’t know when you will die, or you will learn from it and grow into a chess player that cannot be ignored.
Liu Bei has no capital, even if Zhang Fei''s family wealth is added, it is not possible to form a large-scale army, let alone recruit soldiers again and again, so Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have to concentrate elite cavalry or infantry , when the opportunity comes, it is like lightning, rushing straight to the opponent''s main line, shaking the enemy''s commander, either beheading him on the spot, or forcing him to die, causing the enemy to fall into a huge panic, and then marching forward to defeat the enemy .
And this kind of tactics is ineffective against Lu Bu, because Lu Bu can fight better than Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and it is useless against Cao Cao, because although Cao Cao himself is not strong in force, he has many generals under him.
Add one more, Hussar General Fei Qian.
In troubled times, like a jungle full of dark shadows.
In the jungle, it looks elegant and suave on the outside, but in fact it is a fierce beast with red eyes, eating people without spitting out bones. Usually drink and talk happily, stab you at a critical moment, grab the benefits quickly, and hide the disadvantages quickly.
How persistent do people need to be to realize their dreams in a lifetime?
How many times do people need to fail before they know what direction they should work towards?
How much will does a person need to fall down again and again, and still get up again and again, with a smile on his face and hope for the next time?
Liu Bei didn''t know what the answer was, but he just knew that he had to laugh, in the gentlest and most calm manner.
Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei''s figure from a distance, shouted and laughed and stepped forward to greet him, his loose hair bun swaying behind his head, like a short and wildly wagging tail, "Brother! ! Ha ha! Brother is back! ! 』
Guan Yu came slowly and calmly, bowed his hands in salute, "I have seen you brother..."
Liu Bei held Zhang Fei with one hand and Guan Yu with the other, and with the same smile, he nodded towards Sun Qian and others in the distance, and asked, "How is home?" 』
"all good! all good! ! Hahaha! ! Zhang Fei laughed, and then gestured, "A certain old Zhang just hunted a wild boar in the mountains two days ago!" That fat! Haha! I was thinking about whether to smoke some and wait for my elder brother to come back to eat, but my elder brother came back! So good, so good! 』
Guan Yu waited for Zhang Fei to talk for a while, and then replied: "Chuanzhong sent some more clothes, food and utensils. This winter should be fine." 』
Liu Bei smiled, nodded, and then greeted Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others. After chatting for a while, he returned to the city to freshen up, take a shower, and get some rest...
When Liu Bei finished bathing and was about to get dressed, he saw that what was hanging on the hanger was not the usual robes, but black and red crown clothes. Liu Bei couldn''t help being taken aback, and turned to look at Mrs. Wu.
Madam Wu looked calm, bowed her head and said nothing.
Liu Bei''s wife is also a difficult position.
Liu Bei walked slowly to the clothes hanger, touched the red and black robes, was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Madam has a heart..."
Putting on the crown representing authority and the crown representing glory, Liu Bei vaguely saw a calm and solemn middle-aged man in the bronze mirror. The middle-aged man still had a slight smile on his face, as if nothing had changed, and everything had changed.
Liu Bei lowered his eyes, and then looked at the lacquer plate beside him.
On the lacquer plate is the gold seal.
represents the golden seal of wealth, power and future.
Madam Wu carefully smoothed out some of the fine wrinkles on Liu Bei''s body as much as possible, then bent down and straightened Liu Bei''s clothes and ribbons, and finally stepped aside with her hands twisted, and bowed down: "Respectfully send off your husband. 』
Liu Bei nodded, and then stepped forward, and behind him were servants who bent over and followed suit. In the servant''s hand, he was holding the heavy lacquer plate that had been covered with red cloth again.
In the simple Dingruo lobby, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were already waiting, and they seemed to have washed and changed their robes. When they saw Liu Bei coming, they saluted together.
『Everyone is free! 』
Liu Bei smiled gently, and slowly sat down at the top of the middle.
The wooden boards in the hall are old and new, and they seem to be not very smooth. Whether you step on it or sit on it, you will inevitably make creaking sounds.
The mats in the hall are both new and old. The one under Liu Bei’s buttocks is not bad. The mat that Chen Dao sat on in the distance has many cracks, and even some broken thatch stalks can be seen from Chen Dao. Under the robe, he struggled to stand up, as if still showing his tenacity.
The red paint on the corners of the table has long since peeled off, revealing the true color of the dark brown wood.
The beams of the house are also old, and there are even some missing tiles at the eaves, which have not been repaired in time, just like the loose and fallen teeth of an old man, incomplete and helpless.
Liu Bei still smiled gently, as if he didn''t see all the rudimentary and broken things in front of him, as if he was in a rich and elegant high hall, then he looked at the crowd and Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, come on!" Before listening to the seal! 』
The sound of laughter and congratulations suddenly rippling from the dilapidated and old hall of Dingruo.
It seems that everything has become the best...
Not only the general positions of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei is now the governor of Jiaozhou, so he can naturally assign official positions to his subordinates according to the name of the governor, so basically everyone has a share, just like children queuing up to eat Guoguo, give one to each person, and then happily hold the fruit in their hands.
The hustle and bustle resounded in this remote town, and the whole army was also exulting. With wild vegetable porridge and somewhat oily meat and bone soup, and drinking wine that had been diluted to almost no alcohol taste, the whole Dingze, They all seem to be immersed in the joy that Liu Bei has regained a higher and better position, and has brighter and more ambitious hopes.
Liu Bei still smiled gently, holding up the wine bar: "Thanks to everyone''s love, never leave, this is what we have today!" Keep in mind the five things, and you should share wealth and honor with all the kings! Victory drink! 』
『Oh oh oh! Victory drink! 』
"Ha ha! Better to drink, better to drink! 』
Jiujue wine bowls were raised high and collided with each other, making a clanging sound.
Liu Bei continued to smile gently, with faint tears rolling in his eyes. It seemed that he was too excited to control himself, but in fact Liu Bei knew that it was not excitement, but pain. The sound of the collision of wine bowls , is the sound of his dream shattered...
And exchanged dreams for wine money.
The beauty of music, there is a time when it ends, and the time when the banquet is thick, there is also a time when it ends.
When the hustle and bustle subsided slowly, Liu Bei staggered back to the backyard, sat in the corridor of the back hall, looked up at the starry sky, the gentle smile on his face finally faded away little by little, leaving only a smile on his face. exhaustion and helplessness. Under the red and black crown, he is still the same Liu Bei, but under the heavy Jinxian crown, he is no longer the same Liu Bei...
"Brother..." Guan Yu slowly walked over from the shadow of the corridor, sat down beside Liu Bei, then looked at Liu Bei, and put the gold seal in his hand in front of Liu Bei, "If you don''t want to be under the hussars, brother, So why not accept this seal? The world is so big, there is always a place for you and my brother...』
Zhang Fei followed Guan Yu, and put the gold seal aside very simply, staring at Liu Bei with his round glasses, "Brother, I do the same!" 』
Liu Bei wanted to cry, but laughed out loud, shaking his head, the corners of his eyes sparkled a little, and faded in the night wind. "It doesn''t have to be like this... the world, the world is certainly very big... if there is no hussars, you and my brothers still have a way to go..."
Guan Yu frowned, pondering.
Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Could it be that damned hussar who threatened elder brother?" A certain guy knew that this guy with a belly full of bad water was not a good guy! 』
Liu Bei waved his hand, "That''s not what I mean... I mean, our road... well, it''s not the one we really use to walk, but another kind of road..."
The night is quiet and the wind is slightly cold.
There was light and shadow shaking in the backyard, Mrs. Wu came with two or three servants, saluted Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly stood up to return the salute.
"Knowing that you two want to have a clear talk with your husband, and seeing the bleak autumn wind, I''m afraid it''s the wind and cold, so I prepared clothes and a stove here, and cleaned it up, so don''t blame me..." Mrs. Wu said lightly, the etiquette was standardized and standard, and then let people After presenting the cloak and setting up a small brazier, he bowed again and retreated with his servants.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei waited for Mrs. Wu to leave before sitting down again.
"do you know? ’Liu Bei reached out for the tongs, and picked out the charcoal fire in the brazier, 『Are you well-mannered? But the more this happened, the more uneasy I actually became... Hehe, it''s not her fault...』
Speaking of which, before Comrade Liu married Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Wu, he couldn''t tell how many wives he had died. Running around, needing to run at every turn, his own life is at stake, so how could he drag his family along?
Ms. Mi is somewhat of a small family jade. After all, what is the background of the Mi family at the beginning? Yue is like that, and Mi Zhu also has no ability to make a name for himself in the gentry cultural circle.
Ms. Wu is not the same, although she is widowed and married twice, but the aura of wealth and nobility that has been accumulated for a long time from the bottom of her heart often makes Liu Bei breathless.
After all, whether it is Madam Mi or Madam Wu, it is not so-called love, but a combination of interests.
As the main wife, Madam Wu is undoubtedly qualified, dignified and dignified, with proper etiquette. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are cautious in front of Madam Wu, lest they may not pay attention to something and be rude.
Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "...you can only blame me..."
『Brother! 』
『Brother…』
Liu Bei waved his hand and continued: "This time I went to Chang''an, I can see it more clearly... this hussar, he is walking a road that no one has ever walked... I still remember what I told you when I was there what? In this world, although the surname is Liu, most people are not surnamed Liu...』
"I don''t have any background, I''m just a loafer with an unknown name, but I don''t want to give up..." Liu Bei continued, "My uncle scolded me back then, but I didn''t accept it, and then I ran away. I left the village, and later...uncle found someone to scold me...that year, my mother died...when I died, I was not at home, and I couldn''t go back...』
Liu Bei''s voice lowered, "No, I can actually go back, really, I can go back, but I''m not reconciled... I gave all my money to that countryman, and asked him to take it back, and let my uncle help me manage the house. I know that if I go back, I will never be able to get out...I am not a dutiful son...Mum...When my mother died, she still read my name...I am sorry for my mother...』
Liu Bei''s tears rolled down.
"I''m also sorry for my uncle..." Liu Bei murmured, "I left home, which means that my uncle is supporting my family...I said I wanted to return home, but...they went further and further away, and then...the Xianbei people came... My uncle, he... oh...」
"I''m sorry for my wife too..." Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, his voice was low, "I remember my first child... When I heard that she was pregnant, my joy... almost crazy... But, the pursuers came, She was pregnant...bloody...a dead body and two lives...』
"I''m sorry to many people, many people..." Liu Bei bowed his head, and pushed the golden seals of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei towards them, "But I can''t forgive you... If even you are sorry... I, Liu Bei, and Will the face continue to live in this world? 』
『Brother! 』
『Brother…』
『Put it all away, listen to me carefully...』 Liu Bei wiped his face with his sleeve and sniffled.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, and silently put the gold seal in the leather pouch around his waist.
"Well, that''s right..." Liu Bei nodded, "I remember I told you two at the beginning that the current path of the great man has been taken by eunuchs and relatives. If you want to continue the great Han state, you must find a way New way! 』
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, I remember!" The eldest brother said back then that the big man is the big man of the Liu family, but he is also the big man of the world! As long as everyone in the world still thinks about the big man, the big man can still be saved and will not perish! 』
Liu Bei smiled, as if his eyes had penetrated the night, "Although I said that back then... Actually, I didn''t understand what I thought, and it was not clear, but I vaguely knew that I should do this, so I did it... But this time, In Chang''an, General Hussars... Two virtuous brothers, do you know that nowadays, under Hussars, most of the counties and counties have "Bachelors of Agriculture" and "Bachelors of Engineering"? 』
Guan Yu nodded his head and replied, "I heard it a little bit. 』
Liu Bei smiled, but there was an inexplicable expression in the smile, "The big man was like this before..." Liu Bei gestured his palms in the air, "This is the Son of Heaven, and then the eunuchs, the relatives, the three princes and the nine ministers, etc... Then the same is true for counties and counties in various places, county guards, staff, marriages, local gentry families... are they all the same? very similar? 』
『And now? Liu Bei sighed, "This hussar... this is a hussar, and there are still layers of horizontal officials and big families... but there are more vertical "agricultural bachelors" and "engineering bachelors"...you guys Think, what is this like? 』
"This..." Zhang Fei widened his eyes.
Guan Yu stroked his beard, "In this way, the upper and lower parts can be connected together..."
Liu Bei laughed, nodded and said, "That''s right! That''s right! This is the power of hussars! Originally, the court could only contact the place through the gentry and the big surname, but now? There are still big gentry families, but there are more "farmers and workers"! And this is not counted, there is also "business"...the four peoples of the world, scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars, farmers, businessmen, all in the hands of hussars... Tell me, is this hussar powerful? ah? 』
"Don''t think it''s just that..." Liu Bei smiled, smiling, but as if he was about to cry, "These scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are like four beads, but the one who strings these four beads together is the "soldier" Ah... It''s like grasping a weapon, only the four fingers can''t be clasped, but with the addition of the thumb locked... What a talent in latitude and longitude, under the vertical and horizontal construction, I can catch the world''s talents with a net, and I am forced to have nowhere to go can go..."
"I thought I had opened up a new road for a big man..." Liu Bei laughed, patted his legs, "Crossing thorns and thorns, I was covered in blood, but when I looked back, this hussar was actually riding a chariot ..." Liu Bei pointed to his forehead, "Then from here... directly ran over... Tell me, is it funny... Haha, hehe... woo..."
『Brother! 』
『Brother…』
Liu Bei wiped his face with his sleeve again, and waved his hands, "It''s okay, it''s okay... I see, it''s a good thing... The road driven by Huqi is wider and stronger than mine... Follow this road , Not a loss... After all, it is also the direction you and my brother wanted to go back then... This time I went to Jiaozhou, I followed this road! 』
Liu Bei stretched out his hand and grabbed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "I hope you two virtuous brothers will help me!" 』
Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "It is my duty to do so!" 』
『Me too! 』Zhang Fei also responded decisively.
Liu Bei clenched the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and looked into the distance, Hussar, this time, I will follow you, but I also hope that you can take this road well, otherwise...
