Chapter 346: Stationed in Wanling City

Zhou Shang opened the city gate and welcomed Lu Bu and others into Wanling City.

From the city gate to the city lord's mansion in Wanling City, hundreds of people walked out of their homes along the way, standing on both sides of the street and wanting to witness Wen Hou's true face.

I remember that there was a poem written in later generations: The victory or defeat of the soldiers is unpredictable, and it is a man who bears humiliation and humiliation. Jiangdong disciples are talented, and their comeback is unknown.

How talented the disciples of Jiangdong are!

There are many Jiangdong disciples on the scene, of course, there are peerless generals like Zhang Fei, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang, and Gan Ning!

These people, all of them are majestic-looking and burly, and they all exude a fierce and fierce aura on their bodies, which makes people can't help but feel a sense of oppression and fear at a glance.

However, among these people, there was a young man riding a majestic red horse with a tall red head, and among so many Jiangdong disciples and peerless famous generals, he seemed so outstanding and outstanding.

His majestic posture made the talents around him all surrender.

Although before this, the vast majority of the people had never seen Wen Hou's true face, but at first glance, they recognized that the great young man riding a red rabbit horse was Wen Hou!

"Warm wait!"

"Warm wait!"

"God of War!"

"God of War!"

For a time, hundreds of people let out earth-shattering cheers!

This is the God of War!

Hearing the cheers of the people around him, Lu Bu slowed down his horse and waved frequently to the people on both sides of the road.

At the same time, he said loudly: "Hello folks! ”

What the?

The gods descended to the ordinary warmth, and they were actually greeting us grass people?

It is indeed worthy of the warmth of benevolence and righteousness all over the world, and it is indeed worthy of the warmth of loving the people like a son!

"It's warm!"

Seeing the people's love for Lu Bu, Zhou Shang's face was quite ugly.

You know, before this moment, he was the county guard of Wanling City.

However, in a few years, how could the people of Wanling City ever love him so much?

And Wen Hou, on the first day of entering the city, he can get such love from the people.

Why is the gap between people so big?

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the greeting can be put off the shelf.

Children of wealthy families like them would not be able to be as approachable as Lu Bu no matter what.

They have aristocratic blood in their bones, and they don't look down on these small people at all.

At the same time, Zhou Shang was also secretly glad in his heart.

Fortunately, he followed the advice of his nephew Zhou Yu and chose to return to Wenhou.

Otherwise, depending on the love of the people in the city for Wen Hou, this battle will definitely be lost!

The journey was very slow, and Lu Bu was interacting with the people along the way.

This trick, in fact, some of it was learned by Lu Bu from Liu Bei, and more of it came from the experience of later generations.

Only by going deep into the masses can the masses support you from the bottom of their hearts.

For this, Lu Bu actually admired Liu Bei quite a lot.

In later generations, there was a great controversy about Liu Bei, some people said that Liu Bei was a benevolent and righteous monarch, and some people said that Liu Bei was a fake benevolent and false righteousness.

Regarding the statement that Liu Bei is a benevolent gentleman, Lu Bu scoffed.

Looking at the founding kings of all dynasties, which one was not decisive? Which one isn't ruthless?

Have you ever seen a benevolent gentleman who has become a king?

If you don't count the founding king, there is probably really such a gentleman emperor in history, and that is Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Emperor Jianwen, a righteous gentleman, was finally seized by his uncle Zhu Di, and finally ended up in exile.

Is Liu Bei really benevolent?

Lu Bu believed that benevolence and righteousness were just Liu Bei's weapons to seize the country.

Because compared with Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao and others, Liu Bei wants to have a family background without a family background, martial arts without martial arts, and culture without culture, so what did he rely on to seize the world?

The first is the identity of the emperor's uncle, the second is benevolence and righteousness, and the third is his ability to recognize people.

What Lu Bu focuses on is Liu Bei's 'benevolence and righteousness'.

To what extent is this man righteous?

Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou City to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei repeatedly humbled and conceded, until Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei reluctantly accepted it.

In Jingzhou, after Liu Biao's death, Liu Bei's advisers all persuaded Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou, but Liu Bei flatly refused.

In Xinye, Liu Bei couldn't bear to give up 100,000 people and fled with 100,000 people.

But what about the end result?

Cao Cao chased after him, Liu Bei left his wife and children, and fled with only Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.

In advance, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei, saying that he couldn't go fast with 100,000 people, and he couldn't escape Cao Cao's pursuit.

But Liu Bei didn't listen at all, and insisted on living and dying with the people!

Is it that Liu Bei doesn't believe Zhuge Liang's judgment?

Apparently not!

Did Liu Bei really want to save these 100,000 people?

But what happened to these 100,000 people?

100,000 people fled with Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei burned down all these people's houses. In the end, these people were intercepted by Cao Cao, and it can be said that they have nothing, which is much worse than not fleeing with Liu Bei.

Couldn't Liu Bei have judged these situations in advance? This is obviously not possible.

So why did Liu Bei do this?

Because Liu Bei needs the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, it is precisely in the name of benevolence and righteousness and the name of the emperor's uncle that he has gathered a large number of talents around him.

This is also what Zhuge Liang repeatedly persuaded Liu Bei to seize Yizhou, but Liu Bei refused to do.

In fact, Liu Bei wanted to seize Yizhou more than anyone else, but he didn't dare to do that.

Because if he did that, then the image of benevolence and righteousness that he had maintained for many years would collapse, and there would not be so many people who would come to him in the future.

Of course, I have to admit that compared with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Liu Bei is indeed much more benevolent and righteous.

But if you want to say that Liu Bei is a righteous gentleman, then you can only hehe.

There is also an example that Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang out of the thatched house, which is rumored to be a good story for the ages.

But later, did Liu Bei really obey Zhuge Liang? Is it really never suspicious?

The answer is no!

Liu Bei was extremely suspicious of Zhuge Liang!

As a military advisor, except for Zhuge Liang's participation in the early stage, Zhuge Liang never played in the later wars.

When Liu Bei attacked Eastern Wu, why didn't he take Zhuge Liang with him?

If Zhuge Liang went, would Liu Bei still suffer such a big loss?

Before Liu Bei attacked Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei bitterly, but Liu Bei did not listen.

Zhuge Liang sighed, if Fa Zheng is still there, he will be able to persuade the lord.

It can be seen that the person Liu Bei really trusts is Fazheng, not Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of Shu, did not open the mansion when Liu Bei was alive, and did not open the mansion until Liu Bei died.

Before Liu Bei died, he asked Zhuge Liang to be lonely and said to Zhuge Liang: If you want to see that my son Adou can assist, you will assist; If you think he is unworthy of edification, you can do it yourself!

This trust is rumored to be a good story for the ages!

But the premise is that Zhuge Liang was scared out of a cold sweat and swore a gambling curse to dispel Liu Bei's concerns.

I believe that if Zhuge Liang really said from a good point of view, okay, your son Adou is a muddy mud, and he can't support the wall at all, and when you die, let me go up!

I believe that Zhuge Liang's head is about to fall to the ground!
