Chapter 585: The End of the Hero
The sunset is setting in the west, and the large red glow is reflected on the misty lake, with the water waves swaying slightly, between the water and clouds, people can't tell whether they are on the lake or sailing in the sky.
The sound of the piano, slow and peaceful, like ripples outside the boat, spread slowly in the valley of the heart, time under the plucking of the seven strings, seems to be full of rhythm and poetry, if it were not for Zhou Yu's waist, the black blood stains that penetrated the gauze, Mu Shan almost wanted to lean on the cabin, sleep beautifully, and let go of all the disturbances between the world.
Zhou Yu opened his pale lips and asked in an inaudible voice, "Brother Mu, how is this song?" ”
"The music is like a human, quiet and elegant, natural and refined......" Mu Shan closed his eyes, did not look at Zhou Yu's pale face as paper, and said softly in an ordinary whispering tone: "When I came here, I heard Lian Duxue talking about cultivating immortals, and suddenly felt that maybe you shouldn't belong to this noisy world, the extraordinary and elegant life of immortals, and the quiet and distant mountains and forests should be your final destination!" ”
"Hehe, Brother Mu praised it. I am just an ordinary man, bound by earthly fame and fortune, and I have the qualifications to become an immortal and a Buddha. Originally, I thought that with my own strength, I could realize the wishes and aspirations of Bo Fu and me, unify this picturesque country, and let the world forever extinguish the beacon fire and enjoy the peaceful ...... forever. However, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, the pride and ambition have just started, and when they are not ready to be displayed, it has reached the moment when the song is over......"
Zhou Yu stopped the piano sound, and his trembling voice carried a kind of unpaid unwillingness and persistence, and said: "If God can ...... with me for another twenty years, if Bo Fu can survive ten years ago......"
"He, he is not as good as Bo Fu ...... after all" Zhou Yu's voice carried a trace of desolation, as if it was indelible sadness choked in his throat, and said: "I proposed to him that Liu Bei be placed under house arrest, and let me bring Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other tiger and wolf generals, taking advantage of Cao Cao's new defeat, the loyal Han family in the court as the elbow, and the border town army was unstable when he went north to attack the Central Plains, but he had doubts about me, and finally rejected such a great opportunity!" ”
"The best policy was not answered, and the only way to implement the middle policy was to conquer Xishu, attack Hanzhong, and form Ma Chao outside, and make a total plan for the Central Plains ....... Although he verbally agreed to this policy, I knew that he had no intention of attacking the west, and he delayed it again and again because he was worried that I would no longer be under his control......
The sandalwood in the incense burner rose and filled the entire cabin, and in the faint incense, Mu Shan's slightly open eyes seemed to see hot tears slipping down on Zhou Yu's handsome cheeks.
If there is anything more unbearable in the world than the twilight of the beauty and the end of the hero, it is that the hero has the talent to swallow mountains and rivers, but has no opportunity to display his ambitions.
Sun Quan...... Always just a yellow-haired boy......" After hesitating for a long time, Mu Shan finally opened his mouth and comforted: "It is reasonable to have no ambitions!" ”
"No, he has great ambitions, but his intellect is limited, and he doesn't want to see people and things that he can't control ....... Now it is rumored in Jiangdong that Liu Bei intends to borrow Jiangling, and he also intends to lend Jiangling ....... Jiangling is a military location, and it can be taken to Yizhou in the west and Xiangyang in the east, and it is like putting a dagger in the throat of Xuchang, which is the most important thing to achieve the hegemony of the world......"
"Ahem...... cough" Zhou Yu covered his mouth, coughing violently, red bloodstains, along his fingers, slowly flowed down, dripping on the guqin, like a blooming azalea, with a strange beauty.
"Gongjin, let him go!" Mu Shan caressed Zhou Yu's back, secretly conveying true qi to him and relieving the pain: "Some things are predestined by birth, rather than painful resistance, it is better to face them freely and let go, in order to live comfortably." ”
"That being said, it's just ...... Unwilling! Zhou Yu let out a long breath, turned his back to the sky, and said sadly and desolately: "Jiangdong Erlang, good at water warfare, is not good at land warfare and siege cities, while Cao Ren is determined to defend Jiangling, no matter how to design the lure, he refuses to go out of the city for a decisive battle, in a whole year, how many brave and fearless soldiers were buried under Jiangling City, this city, every foot and inch, is exchanged for Jiangdong Erlang's life." And with a fluttering sentence, he wanted to send Jiangling out as a gift to win over Liu Bei......"
"Do you know how the generals of Jiangdong reacted when they heard the news...... Zhou Yu closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to continue, and was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and continued to murmur: "Those iron-beaten men gathered outside my handsome tent, let the wind and rain blow, did not eat or drink, and knelt for three days, begging me to refuse his order......"
"Then you, how do you deal with it......" Mu Shan, who was also killed on the battlefield, naturally understood the thoughts of those generals, looked at Zhou Yu with sympathy, and said: "The rats in the bellows are angry at both ends!" It's hard for you......"
"Naturally, I have to agree!" Zhou Yufu coughed a few more times, and a flush suddenly surged on his face, and the whole person seemed to have unloaded the burden of Wanjun, and he looked extremely relaxed.
"Gongjin ......" Mu Shan was shocked to find that Zhou Yu's vitality was losing at an accelerated rate, and the current phenomenon was just a return to the light: "You ......"
"It's okay, since fate is destined to be like this, what can I say!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, as if he had seen through it, put it down, and said with a smile: "Jiangdong was beaten down by Bo Fu after all, no matter what, I don't want to see his downfall!" Now that I can't do it, I have to help him find a helper who is enough to compete with Cao Cao. Liu Bei is a good object. The rest of the matter depends on Zijing, who is heroic and brave, with a long-term vision, although he lacks military strategic ability, he should at least be able to ensure the stability of Jiangdong for decades. For the rest, leave it to fate! ”
"Gongjin ......" Mu Shan pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "I have a way to let you stay in the world, but you must stay away from all the strife of the world and concentrate on cultivation, I don't know if you want to!" ”
“…… I want to hear about it! ”
"The Dao technique I practice is the Star Soul Technique of the Heavenly Star Cave, which can absorb the soul of the reincarnation of the stars, enrich the acupuncture points, and cultivate together!" Mu Shan said: "If you suck your soul into my body, you can avoid the suffering of reincarnation, but any action in the future needs to be carried out within my ten zhang range, and only those who cultivate immortals and practice the Tao can see your existence." ”
"Daoshu ......, I really responded to your words, maybe I should really stay away from the noisy world and live a quiet life of immortals and immortals......" Zhou Yu smiled faintly: "Okay, at least I can take a few more glances at this splendid mountains and rivers, and I can hear all the news about Jiangdong, which is also a blessing, in your words, no matter what the result is, I will not lose!" ”
"Hehe, that's it. As long as you want, you can come back to Koto at any time in the future. Otherwise, I will bring your wife and children back to Xuchang in a while, and I can also reunite your family. ”
"Don't bother, life is just a journey after all, gathering and dispersing, detaching and clutching. Instead of letting them follow you to Xuchang inexplicably, but they can't meet me again, it's better to let them accept the reality without me as soon as possible and find their life and goals. If you can't give joy for a long time, why give them a short-term hope...... ruthlessness seems to be affectionate, and it's better not to see each other! ”
"Hehe, whatever you like. But there is one thing you must promise me, when you go to Xuchang, help me discipline the bear child at home, that kid is eccentric, and likes to cause trouble everywhere, which gives me a headache. However, I think that maybe it is not that he disobeys discipline, but that the gentlemen who teach him in Taixue have no real talent to learn. Now, if Gong Jin helps, he will definitely be able to let him restrain his wild temperament. ”
