“…… Since he was ordered by the king to be stationed in Licheng Port, he has asked himself to guard the wharf, to guard against pirates from the sea, not afraid of the danger of assassination by thieves, not afraid of conspiracy and trickery, personally training and patrolling, diligent and diligent, often day and night, lest he lose his grace and trust. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhen the pirates suddenly killed, the subordinate brother kept watch at the dock at night, and was about to change shifts and rest at dawn, and happened to see it for the first time, and immediately rang the bell to warn, and the port city was able to prepare for the battle in advance. In order to prevent the pirates from killing ashore, the younger brother ignored the pirates' bows and crossbows like rain, and led the dock defenders to resist bravely, taking the lead, killing dozens of pirates, beheading several thieves, and severely damaging the morale of the pirates, but unfortunately he was hit by many arrows, bleeding too much, and his physical strength was exhausted, and he was killed by a fierce thief who rushed to the dock to take the opportunity to kill, and the dock defenders lost their command, and some generals were greedy for life and afraid of death and took the lead in escaping, resulting in the soldiers having no will to fight and not being able to form an army. Lingchen lamented. ”

Cui Shibiao was dressed as a beggar, knelt in the Goryeo court hall to tell the lord Wang Yu and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu about the tragedy of the day, and praised the younger brother who died in battle, in fact, he praised how loyal he was to Goryeo, how diligent he was in the king's affairs, and how he wholeheartedly guarded Lichenggang and worked hard to protect the property of the Li family. shows that even if he didn't hold the port city, he did his best, worthy of the king, worthy of the Li family, and had a clear conscience.

This guy is talented, treacherous, and surrendered to the pirates who have worked hard in the past few days, going all out to compete for performance, glowing with an unprecedented spirit of diligence and hardship, thinking day and night and working diligently and carefully, tossing the delicate little body that is used to being comfortable and enjoying is not light, losing several pounds of weight, the round face has become longer, the eyes are red, the eye circles are black, looking at the selfless work energy, I don't know the details of his identity, I will think that he is a good public servant of the people of this era who is comparable to the model of party members and cadres in later generations.

In addition, from Licheng Port to Kaijing, this road is to endure hunger and cold, worry, day and night can not have a good rest, desperately hurry, forced to walk back with two legs, the wind and sun are getting darker and thinner, haggard, and with beggar clothes, he has completely become loyal to the country, die not to betray the country to seek glory and surrender to the thief, and the sad and downtrodden image caused by the return to the imperial court is actually great and noble, which makes people sympathize, understand, regret and move, and his performance has achieved the effect of Oscar-winning actors.

This guy knew very well in his heart: Licheng Port fell, and none of the people in the city could escape. The defenders who could breathe had already been emigrated. The occupied area has been tightly sealed off so far, and he himself is not accurate and clear about how this battle was fought, how the defenders of the dock were defeated, and how his brother died. No one was able to reveal the specific details to the imperial court and the Li family. He is full of confidence in his heart, and he can say whatever he wants. No one could find out that he was lying.

The civil and military forces of the Goryeo Manchu Dynasty, including the Li family, looked at the elegant and white Cui Shibiao in the past, who was so black, thin and haggard, so miserable and pitiful, and did not see the slightest grace of the past, no one would suspect that Cui Shibiao was the kind of traitor and shameless person who actively sacrificed the city to the enemy in order to save his life and new glory and wealth.

This is also due to the fact that Cui Shibiao has a good foundation for the demeanor of a talented gentleman and a famous minister who has fully demonstrated in the past.

If he gave people the intuitive impression of being obscene, subordinate, and righteous in the past, he disregarded the overall situation in vain, was mercenary, and had no loyalty at all, and he could sell everything for the sake of glory and wealth, not to mention that he was cunning and capable of performing at this moment, he was really loyal to the country, and he was not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice for the country and the nation, and he would not win a trace of trust and appreciation.

None of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers are really stupid, not so easy to deceive and fool.

However, at this time, including the lord of the country, including Wang Yu, sympathized and appreciated Cui Shibiao, and was moved by his patriotic sentiments, but they were most concerned about how the Cui family brothers were loyal and commendable, they were more concerned about the problem and were eager to ask Cui Shibiao for clarification, and they couldn't wait for a while, so they didn't care about letting Cui Shibiao go down first to wash off the unsightly dirty smell, put on a decent and elegant Pingzhang official uniform, and then play it according to the etiquette that the court should have.

Li Ziqian, who was even more old and cunning, thought of his huge loss, his heart ached, and he was instantly freed from Cui Shibiao's demagogic performance, and became ruthless again, no longer understanding pity and sympathy for Cui Shibiao, some doubts and vigilance floated in his heart, and he squinted and asked Cui Shibiao: "Master Cui, how did Lichenggang fall so quickly?" ”

This is the biggest doubt in his heart, and it is also the biggest uneasy fear.

The defense of such a strong and strong city, as soon as the pirates came, said that it was broken in the blink of an eye, which is too strange and terrifying. Not to mention that it is a matter of life and death for Goryeo and his family, even if you satisfy too strong curiosity, you must immediately understand it and know it in your heart.

"How did you escape from the Occupied Zone?"

Whether it is the port of Licheng or the port city, no one has been able to escape before to explain the situation, you are a chief officer who guards the city, a weak scholar who can't kill people with a knife, and the pirates focus on the target of capture, how can you break out of the strong and tight blockade of the pirates, although you are depressed and miserable, but come back without a little injury?

Lee Zi-kim's question undoubtedly represents the voice of all the big names in Goryeo.

For this most important and most easily exposed problem, Cui Shibiao was naturally prepared.

"Back to Lord Li, Weichen did not live and die with the city, and he tried every possible way to escape back just to remind my lord and your lords of some terrible things. I can say with a clear conscience that with the strong support and attention of the imperial court, the efforts of the ministers, the deployment of Licheng Port, and the weapons and equipment from the people to the city are fully prepared to meet the battle at any time, it can be described as solid, and the minister was also convinced that such a strong city and morale can block the attack of the pirates. If the pirates dare to attack, they will be able to severely defeat the arrogance of the pirates and destroy their greed and faith. But let the minister never expect that I believe that you adults would never imagine that the pirates would **** release thunder. ”

Demon law, heavenly thunder four words one exit. There was a buzz in the court. The monarchs and ministers of Goryeo collectively turned white.

Cui Shibiao peeked at it clearly, and secretly triumphant: Are you afraid? Knowing that the loss of Licheng Port is indeed not that I am incompetent and irresponsible, right? You know I'm not trying to excuse myself for my crimes, right? Knowing that I lost for a good reason, I was rightfully defeated......

He dared to bewitch the public in the sacred and solemn court in broad daylight, because he knew that the huge explosion of the attack on Yeseong Port at that time was a miracle that the Goryeo people had never seen or heard of, and it was an extremely terrifying means. The people of the Peninsula must not have imagined that mortals in the world could exert such great power in war, this is simply a demon.

No, to be exact, it's the ability of demons and monsters.

The explosion was like rolling thunder, and the momentum was amazing, even if the capital city of Kaijing, which was not too far from the port of Licheng, was not so shocking, there must have been people who fled near the port city and reported it to the civil and military forces in front of them.

He continued to perform, making a frightened but proud and unyielding posture for the country, and said in a deep and low voice: "When the thieves came, I still felt happy, and I could finally teach the pirates a good lesson, and avenge the loss of land and the heroic soldiers who died in battle. General Zhang's death was so heroic, but also so sudden and tragic. ”

Cui Shibiao said as he stretched out his hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on his face and wiped his tears, to show his recollection of the horror and pain at that time: "The minister had to report, I was taken aback at the time, and the first thing I thought of was that I was afraid that the defenders would be frightened by the demon law and lose the city without a fight. It's a pity that the pirate demon method is too powerful for human beings to stop.

Under the continuous bombardment of the thunder, our army suffered heavy casualties, and had no power to deal with it, and was completely passively beaten and waiting for death. The morale of the army eventually collapsed.

The minister did not give up, and wanted to desperately organize a defense.

My subordinate guards advised me that I should not do anything, that the port city could not be defended, that the top priority was to keep my body, evacuate quickly, rush back to the capital as soon as possible, and report the situation to Your Majesty and your lordships to make preparations as soon as possible. Only by finding a master to crack the demon law can you avoid the catastrophe of destroying the country.

It's just that at that time, the minister fell into the extreme of anger, drilled the tip of the bull's horns, and only felt that the demon law was not necessarily unbreakable and invincible, and he wanted to give full play to the advantages of the number of people, go out of the city to fight, and inflict heavy losses on the pirates, so he didn't believe that he could block the attack of my army with only the demon law, and he didn't want to run away without a fight.

But the guards saw that our army only cared about running down the city wall with their heads in their hands, no one listened to my hoarse voice and tried their best to summon and command, and the city head saw that I was the only one left roaring angrily, and knew that they couldn't convince me for a while, so they took it upon themselves to knock me out, and took me down the city to an ordinary carriage, and while the pirate army had not yet besieged and blocked the city, some soldiers and horses gathered and fled out of the city, but the result was that the pirate cavalry was fiercely intercepted and pursued along the way, and the accompanying soldiers were killed one after another. When I came to my senses, I was in a remote mountain village, and there was only one person left among the dozens of loyal and brave guards around me, and there were dozens of arrows in his body, like a hedgehog, lying in the driver's seat of the car and dying. I didn't forget to remind me to hurry back to Beijing to report the news. Before he finished speaking, he swallowed. The minister was overwhelmed with sadness. ”

Cui Shibiao's words caused a gasp and sizzle from the Manchu officials.

It seems that pirates can win consecutive battles, and every time they take the target lightly, not only have the demon law to rely on, but also the real sword and real gun fight are also powerful and difficult to beat, far from the fierce Liao army can compare. Isn't my Great Goryeo going to be finished? Our good days are coming to an end......

The lord of the country, Wang Mata, trembled with fear.

The three brothers of the Li family also turned pale, all of them were sweating, and their bodies shook as if they were unstable on their feet.

Han Anren, the secretary of Youping Zhangshi, tried to calm his mind, wanting to show the image of the pillar of the country that turned the tide and turned the tide, and asked loudly, but when he actually opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and trembling, and he asked: "Master Cui, Master Cui, are pirates really as powerful as you say?" ”

Hearing the old opponent's questioning that he wanted to behave but was timid in his bones, Cui Shibiao secretly sneered with disdain, but his face was sad and helpless and sighed: "Pirates are like tigers, horses are like dragons, they are like apes when they go up the mountain, they are like otters when they enter the water, they are like King Kong Mountain, they are like demons, they are like gods, and Goryeo is like tired eggs." Everything I say is true, and if there is a lie, the sky will thunder. Lord Han Anren, you have always been wise and resourceful, if you don't believe it, why don't you ask the army to attack the pirates and retake the port city, so as to prove my absurdity? ”

This general is about to die in Han Anren's weakness.

Han Anren, like many officials in Goryeo, is just a mouth cannon, in the court, or hiding in the safety of the red mouth and white teeth, talking big and empty words, playing scheming tricks, calculating people, retreating, one top two, how can he have the wisdom and ability to lead troops to the battlefield and win the war in a real life-and-death battle. Even if he did, he didn't have the courage and responsibility to go to the battlefield to endure hardships and adventures.

Bloodshed and sweat are the work of lowly and vulgar people. I am an elegant gentleman and a famous minister, and I sit leisurely and comfortably, strategizing and judging and dominating.

This is the typical mainstream ideology of famous ministers taught by Confucianism.

This was true not only of Goryeo officials, who were deeply influenced by Confucianism, but also of the Great Song Dynasty officials, the birthplace of Confucianism.

For example, Wen Yanbo, a famous minister during the Song Renzong period.

At that time, the Yellow River often flooded, the harm was huge, and endangered the capital, and it was urgent to be governed, Renzong was anxious, and asked him to trust Wen Yanbo, a smart and wise minister, to outline the leadership of the Yellow River, but Wen Yanbo was unceremonious, and said to Renzong without shame that muddy water is a cheap thing, that is not what a famous Confucian should do. The minister disdained it.

In fact, he knew that he did not have the ability to manage the Yellow River well, and he did not want to live this comfortable life of enduring hardships and suffering crimes and consuming time to affect his struggle for power in the court.

Cui Shibiao easily struck a blow, Han Anren was unconvinced, and he was able to say a few words, but he was actually dumbfounded, and when he saw that the Li family brothers wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze him and ask him to lead his troops to fight and send them to death to test the actual combat effectiveness of the pirates, he quickly shut up and shrank.

When Han Anren was in the midst of a national crisis, he showed his hypocrisy and incompetence, and he tried to grab power and seize the throne without success. Cui Shibiao just wanted to intimidate the Goryeo monarchs and ministers to persuade him to surrender and make contributions to the new master of the pirates, but he didn't want to be brilliant for Goryeo, but he didn't expect to be brilliant all of a sudden.

History is always strikingly similar.

In countries with similar political civilization and ideology, the behavior of officials when the country is destroyed and the nation is in danger is even more similar.

Too many scholars taught by Confucianism attach too much importance to their names, and they all believe: the husband can't eat five tripods in life, so he will die as a five-tripod cook.

To put it bluntly, if I can't go down in history as a national hero of the country, then I will be the most outstanding traitor and traitor, and I will be stinking for 10,000 years.

In short, whether the reputation is good or bad is not the most important thing, if you can leave a name in history, future generations can know that there is such a capable person as me, and you can't live in vain. This one is more important than anything else.

With such a dominant ideology, there is naturally no pressure to betray the country and the nation and cater to the needs of a strong enemy when the country is in crisis.

This is the case with Cui Shibiao.

His evaluation of the pirate army, growing the morale of others, extinguishing his own prestige, frightened the Goryeo monarchs and ministers, greatly dealt a blow to the will and confidence of the Goryeo people, and made great contributions to the subsequent Cangzhao army to destroy Goryeo more easily.

When Cui Suowei and the Jin soldiers surrounded Bianliang in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, they sent an envoy to the Jin army camp, and after returning to the city, they praised the Jin soldiers Liuru, and Li Ye, who was hated and scolded by the people as Liuru, had a good fight, exaggerating the enemy to be stronger and more terrifying and invincible, and his behavior was more shameless and despicable.

It's just that Li Ye in this era was planted in the big pit he dug with Qin Hui in the Tokyo case where Qin Hui framed Cangzhao, and he was already cut by Zhao Yue with a thousand knives, and he could no longer betray the Great Song Dynasty as in history, lick the Jin army, and become a high-ranking official of the puppet Chu regime set up by the Jin army, and scourge the Han people to live happily for many years before he was finally executed by the Southern Song Dynasty. What will happen to Cui Shibiao, it depends on his luck at this time. (To be continued.) )
