Chapter 18: Wrestling
Zheng Xuan's death seems to herald the passing of an era, the three monarchs of Confucianism in the past, now they are all ancient, looking at the world, the real person who can be called a Confucian master, it is difficult to find, perhaps just like Zheng Xuan said when he was dying, the misfortune of Confucianism, the great luck of the world, for Confucianism, this is an era that is about to wither, but for the world, this is a vigorous era.

But in any case, there is still some turmoil caused by Zheng Xuan's death, and the next day when Lu Bu accompanied Diao Chan and Xiao Lu Zheng to go shopping together, he found that many people in the city hung up white silk, and at the same time, Fa Yan also came with news, there was some turmoil in the Confucian Academy, and the Confucian students had no intention of studying, and it seemed that someone fanned the flames, saying that Zheng Xuan died, Confucianism declined, and proposed to jointly ask Lu Bu to restore the respected status of Confucianism.
It may not be that there are any bad intentions, but there are not a few Confucians who hope to restore the dominant position of Confucianism, after all, Confucians who have been accustomed to the respected status of the academic world, it is difficult to accept the current fierce competitive environment, and there are not many people who can see through the essence of things like Zheng Xuan, and have the courage to say it, when Zheng Xuan was there, he was able to suppress and guide, but now that Zheng Xuan is dead, on the one hand, he is eager to restore his status, and on the other hand, he also feels a sense of crisis, after all, Zheng Xuan's death represents the fall of a banner of Confucianism.
"It's really worry-free!" Lu Bu shook his head, and took Diao Chan to bypass those Confucian students who were in groups of three or five, this time was the most irrational time for these guys.
"Father, why should we avoid them?" Although he is young, Lu Zheng is now a student of Chang'an Academy, as Lu Bu's son, his knowledge is not low, and he is a little dissatisfied when he sees that Lu Bu actually took the initiative to avoid those Confucian students, after all, Lu Bu is the uncrowned king of Chang'an, which is a very shameless thing.
"If I go up and they surround us and demand that the Confucian supremacy be restored, what will we do?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"Defeat them, you are the number one god of war in the world!" Lu Zheng puffed up his chest and said proudly.
"It seems that in addition to the Martial Arts Academy, Zheng'er should also go to other academies to study." Lu Bu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and hugged Lu Zheng up: "Zheng'er, let me ask you, if your finger hurts unbearably, do you choose to ask a doctor to cure it, or just cut it off so that it will no longer hurt in the future?" ”
"Of course it was cured." Lu Zheng was puzzled: "Who would be so stupid to cut off their fingers directly because of a little pain." ”
"Then we compare a country to a person, the emperor is the head, the civil and military generals are the bones, flesh and skin, and these scholars are your fingers, the fingers will obey the command of the head, but sometimes when you encounter an attack, it will also hurt, and then this pain will be transmitted to the head, and then the head will order the right hand to subdue those damn fingers, do you think this is reasonable?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"Of course it's not reasonable, it will only hurt more and more." Lu Zheng clenched his fingers and said.
"So, you must at least give others the right to express their pain, and Zheng'er remember, to subdue outsiders, that is called ability, but to subdue your own people by force, that can only prove your incompetence, make relatives painful, enemies happy." Lu Bu saw that some Confucian scholars were looking in this direction, and hurriedly took Diao Chan and Lu Zheng in the opposite direction.
"Is the husband just letting it go?" Diao Chan looked at the father and son with some amusement.
"This academic matter, it is better for those in power to take care of it, Confucianism wants to restore its exclusive status, Legalism, Mohistism, Taoism and even workers, peasants and businessmen will naturally not be willing, look, it won't be long before they will stand up and say it themselves, and even have another debate, let's just watch the excitement." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Next, he found that Chang'an City was filled with running Confucian students, and wherever he went, he could see the active figure of Confucianism, and in desperation, Lu Bu could only return to Hussar Mansion with his wife.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go out these days." Helplessly looked at Diao Chan and said.
"The husband should put state affairs first." Diao Chan shook his head and said softly.
"State affairs are important, and family affairs are also important." Lu Bu shook his head, and after seeing Diao Chan leave with Lu Zheng, he came to the hall, and there were already copywriters sent from all over the country waiting for him to review.
"My lord." A figure silently appeared in front of Lu Bu.
"What?" Lu Bu didn't look up, just asked lightly.
"Xuchang Nightingale is in a hurry!" Nighthawk handed a letter to Lu Bu, it was a flying pigeon, Lu Bu unfolded the letter, and the lines of delicate boys jumped on the paper, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
Crowned king? This is because the Han family is not completely dead, right? Liu Xie even agreed, but Cao Cao tried his best to stop it, and even at the expense of his reputation, he killed the queen and sent the queen into the cold palace.
Deserve!
Lu Bu shook his head, looked at the nightingale and said, "Order the nightingale to find out where Fude is going as soon as possible, and the nighthawk will dispatch the elite to take back the things in Fude's hands." ”
"Whoa!" Nighthawk bowed in agreement and turned to leave.
Although he didn't know what it was, Lu Bu felt that this thing must be related to the matter of sealing the king.
The one who breaks through the level first is king?
If it is unfortunate that Fude will send that thing to the hands of the princes along the way, I am afraid that the world will be chaotic for a while, and this news has spread in Xuchang, I am afraid that it will not be long before the princes will get some news more or less, and when the time comes, the princes' minds may become different, Lu Bu suddenly found that it is better not to appear in this Fude, Fude is not out, Cao Cao can't find anyone, and any prince all the way, even Lu Bu, can say that Fude came to his side and was appointed king.
Compared with this incident, the matter of Baekje mentioned in the intelligence is insignificant, a group of sticks who don't know whether to live or die, ignore them by themselves, and dare to run out to provoke themselves, it seems that after the spring of the next year, it is necessary for Gan Ning to continue to further educate these sticks, so that they can learn to be people.
……
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
With the son Liu Qi coming to Liu Bei with Dayin and Huang Zhong, this is undoubtedly a godsend for Liu Bei, and he can take over Jingzhou in the name of a great opportunity.
"Gotta be fast!" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei very seriously and said: "Now not only Jiangdong is looking at the side, but also Cao Cao and Lu Bu have coveted it for a long time, although now Lu Bu and Cao Cao are holding each other back, but if the Sun family intervenes at this time, the war will continue, and over time, Jingzhou will become a place for the princes to fight!" ”
"What Kong Ming said is really light, Uncle Zhi and Heping'er must guard against Jiangdong, Jiangxia soldiers and horses must not leave without permission, we must guard against Lu Bu and Cao Cao, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized in Nanyang?" Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang unhappily, this scholar will blow nonsense, and he has no ability at all.
"Yide!" Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei with a dark face, telling him not to interject, and was talking about business.
"Yes, brother, it's okay if I don't speak, right?" Zhang Fei muttered sullenly and retreated behind Guan Yu.
"Strategist, although Cai Mao is despised, his skills are not bad." Liu Bei also looked at Zhuge Liang worriedly, when he was in Luoyang, the two sides had a period of cooperation, but Cai Mao had a set of things above the army.
"Cai Mao may be powerful, but Liang is sure that he will let the lord take Xiangyang within ten months." Zhuge Liang smiled.
"Oh?" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "What is the clever plan of Mr. ”
"It's not a good idea!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled: "Cai Mao committed rebellion, killed the benefactor, the virtuous people are not spurned, and the people of Jingxiang are not hated. Liang is willing to use his three-inch tongue to lobby the county guards and county orders to be attached to the lord, but he wants to borrow a fierce general from the lord! ”
Reggie?
Liu Bei nodded, it is true that someone needs to protect him, after all, the Cai family in Jingzhou has been in business for many years, and many county guards and county orders have been promoted by Cai Mao, and when necessary, force deterrence is inevitable.
"Then ......" Liu Bei looked past Zhang Fei, who was snorting angrily, looked at Guan Yu, and was about to speak, when Liu Qi was behind him, Huang Zhong took a step forward and said: "If Mr. Zhuge doesn't give up, the veteran is willing to accompany Mr. for a while." ”
For Liu Bei, Huang Zhong's senses are good, and now he has protected Liu Qi's safety, Huang Zhong naturally hopes to do a great job, plus Liu Biao's recommendation before, he will soon be loyal to Liu Bei, but he has not achieved an inch in these days, and he is eager to prove himself.
"This ......" The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched a few times, and he opened his mouth and said: "The old general is old, I'm afraid he can't stand the fatigue of the boat, I think it's ......"
"Rest assured, although Huang is old, if you want to talk about strength and martial arts, you can't lose to young people!" Huang Zhong patted his chest and said.
Feel relieved? How can you rest assured?
Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer for a while, if he was too frank, he was afraid that he would hurt the other party's self-esteem, but if he didn't confess, he really let this veteran go with him, wouldn't that be a joke with his own life?
"Hey, General Huang, I don't believe this, Lao Zhang, if you really have the ability, how can you let Liu Jingzhou be coerced by Cai Mao?"
"You ......" Huang Zhong was furious when he heard this, this matter is an eternal shame for him, this Zhang Fei, his mouth is too poisonous.
Even if it is the lord's sworn brother, he can't forgive, Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said, "Those three generals dare to compete with me?" ”
"Hey~" When Zhang Fei heard this, he glanced at Huang Zhong and said: "Swords and guns have no eyes, you and I belong to colleagues after all, and I can't bully you, how is the wrestling between you and me?" ”
Wrestling is a common way between warriors, many times it is not good for generals to use direct hands, and want to probe each other's catties, they will use wrestling to test each other.
Although whether a military general is powerful or not cannot be judged by strength alone, it is undeniable that strength is always one of the indicators.
"Good!" Huang Zhonglang shouted, Guan Zhang's reputation was outside, but Huang Zhong was not afraid, Liu Bei and others no longer stopped stopping him when they saw this, so it was better for him to retreat in the face of difficulties. (To be continued.) )
