Chapter 166: Different Origins Determine Different Paths to Take
Xiahoudun was blocked by Lu Bu several times when he spoke.
He also knew that Lu Bu would not give him a chance.
Anyway, there are many opportunities to enter Pengcheng.
He still didn't believe it, what excuse could Lu Bu find to keep him from speaking after entering the city.
followed Lu Bu into Pengcheng, and Xiahoudun found that there was a lot of people here, and the road was full of people watching the army enter the city.
The people were talking to each other, and they didn't know what they were discussing.
From people's accents, he vaguely heard that it was not the local dialect of Pengcheng.
Most of the people's accents come from Qingzhou, and many of them are Taishan slang that Xiahoudun is quite familiar with.
In the Battle of Xiapi, Cao Cao ordered the slaughter of Pengcheng.
It's a dead city long ago.
Not long after the end of the war, LΓΌ Bu transferred many people from Qingzhou to revitalize a city that should have died.
Pengcheng is not only alive, but the population is even more than in the past.
"How long did it take to revitalize Pengcheng?" Looking at the crowds of people on the roadside, Xiahoudun asked.
"Revitalizing a city is nothing more than increasing the population." Lu Bu said: "I transferred people from all over the country, and there are people from all walks of life in Pengcheng, so of course this city will be on fire." β
"Why did Gong Cao slaughter Peng Cheng in the first place?" He suddenly asked Xiahoudun.
"Where does Cao Gong want to slaughter the city." Xiahoudun shook his head: "Pengcheng was broken by Liu Xuande, and after he entered the city, he slaughtered all the way, and when Cao Gong led his troops into the city, there were corpses everywhere." Everyone has been killed, is it possible that Cao Gong still ordered the punishment of Liu Xuande and the siege soldiers? β
"Anything else?" Lu Bu really hadn't heard the details of Pengcheng's slaughter, so he asked Xiahoudun: "Can Yuan Rang tell me the original details?" β
Xiahou didn't hide it, and told Lu Bu everything that happened in Pengcheng in 1510.
In the battle of Xiapi, Pengcheng was stubbornly defended, and Cao Cao couldn't attack it for a long time, and his heart was also very angry.
But it didn't occur to him to slaughter the city.
After all, to take Xuzhou, he also needs a lot of people to make the city recover as soon as possible.
Liu Bei, who was ordered to attack, ordered the slaughter of the city when it was broken, and gave a bad breath to the soldiers who died in battle.
Liu Bei gave an order, and Pengcheng became a purgatory on earth.
Not only the strong men, but also the women, the elderly, and the children, they did not spare them......
Listening to Xiahoudun's narration, Lu Bu did not have the slightest expression on his face.
From the look on his face, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"What is Wen Hou asking for?" Xiahoudun asked.
"It's nothing." Lu Bu grinned: "When I first came to Pengcheng, I found that there was no one here, and even the breath was filled with a dead air. It seems that Liu Xuande really left no room for action. β
"For others, he may still have some affection, but for Wen Hou......" Xia Hou shook his head with a smile.
Of course, Lu Bu knew what he meant.
Before he came to this era, the old owner of this skin had taken Xuzhou from Liu Bei, and Liu Bei hated him so much that he and the people of Pengcheng suffered a lot.
But he really admired Liu Bei's wrist.
Cao Cao, a shrewd person, actually carried a big black cauldron for others in the matter of Pengcheng.
Lu Bu asked: "Pengcheng was obviously slaughtered by Liu Xuande, why did Cao Gong take care of him?" β
"The lord led the army and claimed that it was Liu Xuande who slaughtered the city, didn't he gain prestige? Wouldn't outsiders say that the lord had no way to lead the army, and he could sit back and watch his subordinates slaughter the city? Xiahoudun replied: "Of course, the lord does not want the world to look at him like this, and it is reasonable to bear the sin of slaughtering Pengcheng." β
Xiahoudun said this, which made Lu Bu feel that although Cao Cao and Liu Bei were both heroes, their personalities were really two different extremes.
Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was a regular attendant of the Han family.
Since he was a child, he was cut off from his life, and it was impossible to continue his descendants, so he succeeded Cao Song as his heir from the Xiahou family.
Although Chang Shi is not a feudal official, it is impossible to pass on their power to future generations, but Cao Song, who has become Cao Teng's son, can go all the way smoothly.
Cao Cao can be said to have been born with a golden key.
His family background is destined to be a rich and handsome man in his life, of course, he has willful and arrogant capital.
Liu Bei was born in poverty, and when he was young, he made a living by weaving straw sandals in the market.
He was able to start a business entirely because he had a good surname.
Liu Bei, who has the same surname as the emperor and is good at drilling, found a reason to advance.
King Jing of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty devoted his life to opening up wasteland on women's bellies and gave birth to more than 100 children.
The one who has made the greatest contribution to the Han family is the king surnamed Liu.
King Jing of Zhongshan and Liu Bei were hundreds of years apart, and his descendants were in exile, many of whom were indeed reduced to commoners.
The people of the Central Plains care about their ancestral origins, but they also have a characteristic.
People are good at forgetting, even if they are buried in the graves of their ancestors, the first two or three generations may remember to sweep the graves, and after three generations, many tombs will gradually be abandoned and eventually become a pinch of dirt in the wilderness.
Hundreds of years have passed; It is impossible for Liu Bei, who was born as a commoner, to know clearly who his ancestors are.
King Jing of Zhongshan was just dragged by him as the ancestor of the Jin capital.
Before the edict, in order to survive in the complicated environment, Liu Xie met Liu Bei under the recommendation of others.
Knowing that Liu Bei was probably not a descendant of the Han family at all, as a puppet emperor, he still recognized the identity of the emperor's uncle.
It was from that moment that Liu Bei confirmed the name of "Uncle Liu Huang".
From a humble background, he is destined to make more efforts than Cao Cao and others, who are from an honorable background, and he is also destined to be cautious and cautious in everything he does.
Lu Bu, who was also from a bad background back then, chose a completely different path from Liu Bei.
Lu Bu is not stupid, he knows how to recognize his father-in-law, and uses his father's power to cling to wealth and wealth, so as to become the famous god of war Wenhou.
But at that time, his mind was too lively, and he didn't know how to follow the right person.
Ding Yuan was appointed as the main bookkeeper first, and he couldn't exert all his strength at all.
Later, he voted for Dong Zhuo, but although Dong Zhuo reused him, he only used his martial arts.
It is rumored in the world that he killed Ding Yuan for a red rabbit, and later killed Dong Zhuo for Diao Chan......
Lu Bu, who inherited the memories of the past, turned over the fragments of the past more than once and reminisced about them.
Although he didn't agree with the approach of Lu Bu in the past, he could clean it up from the fragments of memory, and Lu Bu was really forced to do it at that time......
Different origins determine different choices.
For a moment, Lu Bu could even forgive Liu Bei for slaughtering Peng Cheng.
But slaughter is still slaughter after all.
Especially after the massacre, he didn't dare to bear the responsibility and put all the fault on Cao Cao's head.
There is always a price to pay for the mistakes committed.
The former Lu Bu has already paid, but Liu Bei is still at large.
