Chapter 61: Cooking Wine on Heroes
"Brother Mengde, I've kept you waiting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" King Li came to Cao Cao and said politely.
Cao Cao got up and saluted: "Cooking wine needs heat, and it also takes time to boil, and Li Zhoumu came at the right time." β
If King Li wants to lead this conversation, he naturally has to follow closely step by step: "Brother Meng De has seen the outside, today you and I are talking about the affairs of the world, so we have no skin in our bodies, so we should open our hearts and see each other sincerely." β
Cao Cao praised: "In this way, then we will be called friends, by the way, the world only knows Brother Li's name, but does not know the words, why is this." β
King Li sneered, this is not a fraud, he came through, how can there be a word: "Since the usurpation of power by Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty, the trend of single names in the world has prevailed, but the name is for convenience, so why care, Brother Meng De just call me Brother Li, it sounds kind." β
Cao Cao laughed: "Brother Li is really a sincere person, since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful." Cao Cao tried the temperature of the wine, added a warm wine for King Li, and continued: "Back then, the allied forces attacked Dong and gathered in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads were vast, but only you, King Li, could be a great sage in the world. β
Li Wang took a sip of old wine and coughed: "At that time, Yuan Shu was a door, and his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world, and between the four generations, there were three three princes who were above Jiuqing, and now Yuan Shu was directly promoted from Nanyang Taishou to Yangzhou Mu, can he be worthy of being a great sage?" β
Cao Cao disdainful: "Yuan Shu is his person, insidious and cunning, trying to gain temporary interests, in vain to care about the world, the allies are not only in charge of grain and grass, but they have a small belly, and they seize the grain and grass of Sun Jian and other forces, which led to the almost collapse of the allied army. β
Li Wang was stunned, something was wrong, wasn't he led by Cao Cao's nose, didn't Liu Bei just ask and answer in his previous life, so he was helpless, and was almost discovered by Cao Cao.
"In this way, am I really the great sage of the world, as Meng De said? Big hero? β
Cao Cao was stunned, he didn't expect King Li to be so thick-skinned, and he was caught off guard by his unreasonable playing for a while.
King Li saw that he was stunned in place, and then said: "The great sage, the world has merit for the inferior, and the ordinary world has merit for the middle, only by doing practical things for the people and taking responsibility, can he be the great sage of the world, otherwise he only pursues verbal words, which is tantamount to talking on paper, what does Brother Meng De think." β
Cao Cao replied and sighed: "Brother Li's words are very good, heaven and earth are the same, and there are a few people who can face the world in Chicheng." β
Li Wang answered: "There is no big or small thing, there is no difference between high and low in firefighting, in the past, before Dong Zhuo was killed, Cai Yong was grateful for his promotion, crying and fainting in front of the Son of Heaven Luan, attracting the disaster of killing, not pretentious, knowing the grace to repay, is for the world's great sage, Beihai Kong Rong, when he was young, he knew how to let pear, this is a great sage, you Cao Mengde, risked his life, sought Dong Zhuo's trust, and plotted to kill him, this is also a great sage, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, can sweep the world away, not to be blinded by profit, desire, hatred, hatred, They are all great sages in the world. β
Cao Cao chewed King Li's words carefully, although he was a little sharp, but he did not lose his reasoning.
"What Brother Li said is exactly this, but people have seven emotions and six desires, and they can't be easily left behind."
King Li first nodded with deep sympathy, and then shook his head: "The people of the market are all interested in exchanges, but some people use their hands and feet to find a way out, and some people are idle all day long. β
Saying that, there was a little dullness between the two, and they bumped into each other with their wine glasses, and drank them all.
At the beginning of December, a light snow drifted, dotting the reckless land of China.
"Brother Meng De, the snowfall in Bingzhou is also in January and February, I never thought that this land of Yongzhou would be so much in advance."
King Li refers to the change of seasons, which is an unchanging common sense, implying that the world has reached the time of replacement.
Cao Cao naturally understood the truth: "I heard Pei Xingyan say that when Brother Li talked with Fengxiao, he once said a sentence, 'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations', this is a great good, but I studied and chewed carefully for a few days, and found that Brother Li was talking about literati, but he did not mention military generals, so I don't know if there is anything to follow." β
King Li nodded and said: "For the generals, kill the enemy on the battlefield, hang your head to seek fame, fight to the depths, and only seek to bury your bones on the battlefield." β
King Li pondered for a moment and said: "Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat." β
In addition to being an outstanding military strategist and politician, Cao Cao is also the top lyricist in history, and he was moved by Wen Tianxiang's song Ding Yang, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Since the ****, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have experienced two hundred years, merged into Qin, Qin lost its deer, the world chased it, Gaozu raised troops in the market, and Xiang Yu of Gaomen Dawang fought for the world, no one can afford Gaozu, but Gaozu worked hard, loved the people like a son, and finally forced Xiang Yu Wujiang to kill himself, sad and lamentable."
Cao Cao lowered his head and turned the wine glass in his hand: "Brother Li is talking about the twilight of the hero?" β
King Li shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Xiang Yu is a general, not a handsome talent, and he deserves the title of the first hero in the world, but he overestimated himself, regarded himself as a handsome talent, and lost a lot of his life in vain; And Gaozu is a man of the world, and he is a hero of the world, so he will get the help of the three famous generals and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. β
Cao Cao's face was as usual, and he sighed: "Brother Li's great talent in the world, and worship." β
Li Wang Yixi, it seems that Cao Cao has a tendency to be moved by his own words, and hurriedly added fuel and vinegar and said: "Look at today, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, all parties are too protective of the state and support the soldiers to respect themselves, and the orders of the Son of Heaven are even more disrespectful, only Brother Meng De and I can still assist the side, and the rest of the people are all deceitful and famous." β
Cao Cao was shocked in his heart, King Li's words were equivalent to marking him with the name of a hero, if it was spread out, not to mention that the world was the enemy, at least half of the princes would be dissatisfied.
"Brother Li's words are wrong, Yuan Shao is too guarded by the plains, although he is a concubine, but his concept is outstanding, and he has also won the vassals of many soldiers, and has cut off the Yellow Turban of Jizhou, and as the leader of the alliance of the Dong Alliance, he is several times more heroic than my Cao Mengde."
King Li snickered in his heart, you old fox, if it weren't for my appearance to change the situation, you would accept Guo Jia's advice in the coming year, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and at this time you still played with me Mingzhe to protect yourself?
"Brother Meng De's words are not true, Yuan Benchu lived in a corner, but he was an obviously insidious person, not long ago he made up nonsense, found a false charge, sneaked up on the Jizhou Mu Hanfu granary, and teamed up with Bohai Taishou Gongsun Zan to embezzle half of the land in Jizhou, it is really a deception to the world and a thief, a thief who steals the country, and the soldiers under his command, and has a lot of patience for the deep-rooted reasons of his court, saying that he is still a villain who praises him, not to mention the name of a hero."
Cao Cao was still unwilling: "That Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, a relative of the emperor, the people under his rule are simple and simple, and he is even more friendly with foreign races, and he stops fighting in the north, and the image of being close to the people and frugality is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he can be worthy of being a hero." β
King Li said disdainfully: "In the past, Youzhou Mu had the grace to promote me, but the two of us don't have to shy away from talking today, this Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has stubborn thoughts, and wants to fight with other races into jade silk, which is tantamount to talking on paper, don't you hear that it is not my race, its heart will be different, Liu Yu is still in the world, if he returns to heaven in the future, the foreign race will definitely raise troops to rebel, then the whole north will be ruined, the people are not happy, he only cares about the immediate interests of the gains and losses, but does not think about long-term plans, and does not deserve the name of a hero." β
"Wucheng Hou Sun Jian, raised troops in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, until Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the palace, the vanguard of each battle, the courage is comparable to Huainan Wang Yingbu, and he has made great achievements, and his people are also upright, which can be described as heroes."
King Li sneered and said: "Brother Meng De said that he was joking, Sun Jian and his people are indeed upright, but the so-called too rigid is easy to break, since he turned back to Jiangdong, suppressed the Shi clan, connived at his descendants to plot a rebellion, in the name of revenge, the soldiers went out of Moling, marched north to fight with Yuan Shu, and made the people resentful, and this world ****, he is the first culprit, how can the people who disturb the people be worthy of the heroes of the world." β
