Chapter 376: Storytelling

Long Tianyu saw that Xiao Qi had not spoken, turned his head to see that she was squatting there alone and holding her legs and crying, so he took something from the food pile, walked over and said: "Little Qi girl, you don't have to worry, maybe everything is not what you see, your father and the mermaid clan will be fine, believe me, after a while, everything will be fine." ”

"Are you all true?" Xiao Qi stood up from the ground excitedly, looked at Long Tianyu in front of him and said, "Engong, do you know something, tell me quickly." ”

"No, no, no. Long Tianyu hurriedly shook his head and said: "I just think that things will not get worse, you have to believe that life is beautiful, as long as you smile and face life, life will smile back." ”

"Thank you Eun-gong, I believe that everything will get better and better as Eun-gong said. Xiao Qi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took the food handed over by Long Tianyu, and suddenly said curiously: "By the way, Engong, what do you mean by what you just said, why have I never heard of it?"

"Well. Long Tianyu shook his head embarrassedly and said, "I used to stay in a special place, this is the saying there, there are good sorcerers in the people who are close to the plug." The horse died for no reason. Everyone hanged him, and his father said: "Why is this not a blessing?" After a few months, his horse returned with Hu Jun. Everyone congratulated him, and his father said, "Why can't this be a disaster?" Everyone hangs it, and his father said: "Why is this not a blessing?" After living for a year, Hu people entered the plug, Ding Zhuang led the string to fight, and the people who were close to the plug, the dead were nineteen, and this was only because of the lameness, and the father and son protected each other. Therefore, the blessing is a curse, and the disaster is a blessing, which is extremely unfathomable and unfathomable. ”

Xiao Budian, who was eating, flew over, stared at Long Tianyu and said puzzledly: "Silly boy, what do you mean by saying a lot, why do I get more confused the more I listen, I still don't know what you mean by saying that Sai Weng is not happy, should you be unwell, so talk nonsense." ”

Xiao Qi also looked at Long Tianyu puzzled, wondering what Long Tianyu meant by these strange words.

Long Tianyu suddenly understood that what he just said was an ancient text, if he hadn't learned this ancient text before, it would probably be difficult to understand these words, and after thinking about it for a while, he explained to them.

Among those who were close to the side of the fortress was a man who was proficient in arithmetic. His family's horse ran to the Hu people by himself, and everyone came to comfort him when they heard about it.

The father said, "Why do you know that it is not good luck?"

After a few months, his horse came back with the horses of the Hu people, and everyone came to congratulate him when they heard about it.

Then the father said, "Why do you know that it is not a curse?"

Because the family had many horses, his son liked to ride horses, and once fell off a horse and broke his thigh bone. Everyone went to comfort him again.

The father said, "Why do you know that it is not good luck?"

After a year, the Hu people invaded the border fortress in a big way, and the sturdy men took up bows and arrows to participate in the battle, and the people who participated in the battle, nine out of ten died, and those who did not die were seriously injured.

Only his son was able to save his life because of a broken leg. Therefore, blessings can become disasters, and disasters can become blessings, and the changes in this are elusive and unfathomable.

The story of "Saion lost his horse" has been passed down among the people for thousands of years. It tells us that no matter whether we encounter a blessing or a curse, we must adjust our mentality, we must look beyond time and space to observe problems, and we must take into account the extreme changes that things may have.

In this way, no matter if a good thing turns into a bad thing, or a bad thing becomes a good thing, there is enough psychological capacity. The parable may benefit from the loss for a while. It also refers to the fact that bad things can become good things under certain conditions. The blessings and misfortunes of things can be transformed into each other under certain conditions, and we must look at them with a dialectical attitude.

"I see. Xiao Qi's face returned to the smile of the past, and said: "Last time, it was because I was caught by the Jiaolong clan, so I met two Engongs, this is what Engong said about Saiong's loss of horses, I believe that this time will be the same as last time, maybe everything will change in a few days." ”

"That's right, that's right, don't think so much, just like a little bit, you should eat, you should sleep, just let everything be. ”

Xiao Budian dropped the things in his hand, gave Long Tianyu a thumbs up, and said: "Silly boy, Ben Long really admires you more and more, just tell a story and enlighten Xiao Qi, and your ability to fool people is first-class." ”

"What nonsense? Long Tianyu walked over to Xiao Budian with a smile, stretched out his hand and knocked on Xiao Bu's head, what I said is true, okay, but you haven't heard it.

Xiao Qi ate the food in his hand, then looked at Long Tianyu and said, "Long Engong, the things you said are really insightful, can you tell us some more things like this." ”

Long Tianyu thought about it for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do now, it is okay to tell them some stories, which can make Xiao Qi feel better, but it is not time to tell the two of them any stories, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly knew what story he was going to tell Xiao Qi.

nodded to Xiao Qi and said: "Okay, it just so happens that we don't have anything to do now, I'll tell you another story, but there may be some people you haven't heard of, just treat them as ordinary people, don't ask me who I am, I don't know, I haven't seen it." ”

The background of the story takes place in the Three Kingdoms period, after Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows, he coincidentally proposed with Zhou Yu a battle plan to attack Cao Cao's naval army camp. At this time, the Jingzhou generals Cai He and Cai Zhong, who had surrendered to Cao Cao, were sent by Cao Cao to come to Zhou Yu's camp to surrender.

Zhou Yu, whose heart is like a mirror, pretended to be deaf and stupid again, and deliberately received Er Cai. One night, Zhou Yu was meditating in the tent, and Huang Gai sneaked into the tent to meet him, and also proposed a battle plan to attack Cao's army.

Zhou Yu told Huang Gai that he was preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of Cai Zhong and Cai He, who came to defraud Cao Cao, to inform Cao Cao of the news, and carried out a fraudulent surrender plan against Cao Cao. And said: In order for Cao Cao to fall into the scheme of deception, someone must suffer some flesh and skin.

Huang Gai immediately said: In order to repay Sun's kindness and Jiangdong's cause, he was willing to be severely punished first, and then surrender to Cao Cao. The next day, Zhou Yu summoned the generals to the big tent, and he ordered the generals to receive three months' grain and grass each, and prepare for the battle of breaking Cao.

Huang Gai interrupted Zhou Yu's words and preemptively said: "Don't say 3 months, even if you spend 30 months of grain and grass, it won't help." It would be great if Cao Cao could be defeated within this month.

If he can't be defeated within a month, it is better to follow Zhang Zibu's idea and simply surrender. When Zhou Yu heard this kind of surrender argument that destroyed his own prestige, increased the morale of others, and shook the morale of the army, he was furious, and ordered Huang Gai to be pushed out of the tent and beheaded for public display.

Huang Gai did not show weakness, he relied on the old and sold the old with the qualifications of the old minister of Jiangdong, and he didn't take Zhou Yu in his eyes at all. This made Zhou Yu even more angry, and he ordered a quick execution. The escalation and intensification of the contradictions between Zhou and Huang made the generals quietly uneasy.

The general Gan Ning interceded for Huang Gai on the grounds that Huang Gai was an old minister of Eastern Wu, and was beaten out of the big tent by a burst of chaotic sticks. As soon as all the civil and military officers saw that most of the capital governors were angry and the veteran Huang Gai died in front of them, they knelt down together and begged for mercy for Huang Gai.

For the sake of everyone's face, Zhou Yu was relieved and changed the immediate decision to a heavy 100 spine cane. Zhong Wenwu still felt that the punishment of the rod was too heavy, and still begged Zhou Yu to raise his hand. Zhou Yu didn't give an inch this time, he overturned the desk, reprimanded the officials, and ordered a quick cane.

The executing soldiers tore off the yellow cover to the ground, stripped them naked, and beat them with 50 canes. Seeing this, the officials begged for relief again, and Zhou Yu retreated into the tent with hatred.

Director Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's double-reed bitter tricks almost concealed from all civil and military officials. The only one who knows in his heart that he doesn't say a word and stands by and watches, he is Zhuge Liang.

After being scolded by the staff, Huang Gai was going to surrender to Cao Cao, Cao Cao thought that all this was true, so he was happy that he had obtained a general, and decided to welcome Huang Gai's arrival, Huang Gai and several soldiers sailed to Cao Cao's huge fleet in a small wooden boat. The yellow-covered boat was covered with an oilcloth filled with hay. When Cao Cao saw Huang Gai, he thought that he had won the battle.

Unexpectedly, Huang Gai actually lit the hay on the boat, and then jumped into the water with the soldiers and swam away. The unmanned wooden boat rushed towards Cao Jun's fleet, and suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, and the sound of cries and explosions rang out.

In this war, Cao's army was almost completely annihilated, and Cao Cao almost died under Guan Yu's sword. Now, people often use the phrase "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai - one is willing to fight, one is willing to suffer" to describe consensual things, in order to show the respect of future generations for Huang Gai.

Long Tianyu didn't continue to speak after finishing the story in one breath, but looked at Xiao Qi quietly, hoping that she could understand what she meant by telling this story.

............

On the other hand, after the fish king escaped from the dragon clan, he returned directly to the mermaid clan, and then began to recruit troops and horses, preaching the evil deeds of the dragon clan everywhere, and declaring that he would fight the dragon clan to the end.

Xiao Qi's six elder brothers learned from their father that they were all indignant, if it wasn't for the fish king to stop them, it is estimated that they would have rushed directly to the dragon clan and fought hard.

The Fish King knew his six sons, and was afraid that they would really run over to find the dragon clan desperately, so he specially sent a few of his trusted subordinates to follow the six of them, in case they acted rashly.

The Jiaolong clan has been sending people to monitor the mermaid clan and the dragon clan from a distance, and now the mermaid clan and the dragon clan have made such a big move, naturally they can't escape the eyes of the Jiaolong clan.
