Chapter 34: You're Too Naïve
Cao Yue's righteous indignant words, coupled with the last snort, stunned the red lady when she listened, and she didn't know how to respond for a while. What Cao Yue said is that there is some truth, but it is still her husband who directly buries others in this way, and the red lady is also very angry and has the urge to kill. "You insulted my husband like this, believe it or not, I killed you?"
"You insult me first!" Cao Yue looked directly at the angry red lady, and said very solemnly: "Now that you are my captive, if I want to kill you, it is just a blink of an eye, and it is effortless." If you want to kill me, there's no chance. Also, you wanted to kill me just now, but I didn't do that to you. If you sneak near the barracks to reconnoiter the situation, and after being captured, you try to attack and kill me, the most military commander in Datong, I can kill you at Ling Chi. But I don't want to kill you right now, and I'm ready to let you go. Do you think he would do this if he were replaced by your husband, General Li Yan? You can't do it, he can't do it either, so to speak, my belly is not comparable to you, I am very generous. Haha, to sum up, on the whole, whether it is your tenth husband Li Yan or your red lady, compared with me Cao Yue, they are too far behind. These shoes are not worthy, I can't accept them, and I will return them to you and your wife. ”
It stands to reason that Cao Yue would not quarrel with the red lady like this, but I don't know why, being looked down upon by her, he couldn't help but refute it, and put a high hat on his head. Originally, I was very angry when I spoke, but when I talked about it, I thought it was funny.
"You...... You are too much," the red lady ignored the fact that she was now a prisoner of Cao Yue, and sneered at her lips with a red face: "Cao Zongbing has indeed made extraordinary achievements, and he has been reused by the imperial court at a young age, and he has proud capital." But have you seen that now the world is dark, officials of all sizes are corrupt, many local people are struggling to make a living, the imperial court has repeatedly raised taxes, and the people are unable to survive, so they rise up to resist tyranny. As long as we destroy the tyranny, the people of the world will live a good life. We are doing the right thing for heaven, and you are aiding and abetting, who is high and who is low, you don't need to say that you can understand!"
However, the red lady also admitted that what Cao Yue said still has some truth, compared with Cao Yue, they are indeed a little inferior in terms of military exploits, breaking through Shengjing, capturing the Jiannu nobles and the concubines of Huang Taiji, capturing Dai Shan, ushering in the jade seal of the country, no matter which one, it is an immortal war exploit, which makes people admire. Because of this mentality, coupled with Cao Yue's righteous words when she spoke, the anger in her heart unconsciously decreased, and she did not jump like thunder.
"Then let me ask you, if your rebel army wins the world, how are you going to let the people live a good life?"
These words made the red lady stunned for a moment, she had never thought about this question, but she still replied stubbornly: "If the tyranny is destroyed, King Chuang will definitely come up with a way to let the people live a good life, don't worry about this." ”
The red lady said, and the thought of persuading Cao Yue to surrender rose unconsciously, and immediately said again: "General Cao Bing, the slave family knows that you are a brave and resourceful general, and treat the people well, if you can join our righteous army, you will definitely be warmly welcomed by King Chuang and other brothers." Let's get up with us, destroy the tyrant, kill Chongzhen Lao'er, and return peace to the people of the world. ”
"Do you really think that if Li Zicheng seizes the world, the people will be able to live a good life, and the world will be peaceful?" Cao Yue said sarcastically: "I can only say that you are too naïve, the slogans of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to raise troops are all for the people of the world, but they are both for the people of the world, why don't they unite together?" Why should you care about power and status, as well as the strength of your territory and the army under your command? This can only be said that they are all for personal gain and for their own ulterior purposes, not for the righteousness of the world. Also, in the places they conquered, did the people have a good life? ”
"Maybe you don't want to admit it, but the fact is that your rebel army has gone over, the people have suffered more serious disasters, how many families have been destroyed by the war, how many properties have been wiped out, and the strength of our Han nation has been greatly damaged. Without your rebellion, thousands of people would not have died in the war. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the high-ranking officials under their command, who would think about the suffering of the people now, they themselves live a life of poverty and luxury, and the degree of exploitation of the people is no less than that of the Ming court. What kind of life they lead, I believe you know better than me. You know more than I do about their fights for profit. So don't say those grandiose words, the fact is there, your rebellion can only bring disasters to the people of the world, and also help Jiannu, it can be said that you are preparing to destroy the Ming Dynasty together with Jiannu. Hehe, Ben General once made an oath that in this life, he will destroy Jiannu, pacify the Liukou, and return peace to the world!"
"You nonsense, that's not how it happened!" The red lady was a little anxious, but she couldn't think of anything to refute at once.
"That's how it is, it's just that you don't want to admit it," without waiting for the Red Lady to say anything, Cao Yue followed up with a sentence: "I believe that the Red Lady also knows why my father died." I have a different enmity with the Liukou, and in this life I will fight against the Pingkou, lay a stable world for the people of the world, and cut off the head of the thief to pay tribute to my father. ”
"I can also tell you very responsibly, whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, they will not be able to become the climate, and they will all be destroyed in the end, with me Cao Yue here, the world will eventually be peaceful. I advise you, Red Girl, don't mix with the rogues again, otherwise one day you will end up in a situation where you will die without a place to be buried. Li Zicheng is suspicious. Liu Zongmin and Niu Jinxing under him are all vulgar people, jealous of talent, and your husband Li Yan will also be jealous of them, and maybe one day he will die at their hands. I won't say that I want to recruit you to my account, but I can promise you that if you are cornered one day, I will help you. Not to get anything, just because I admire your red lady's personality and your chivalry!"
"No, it won't! You're talking nonsense!" The red lady is already weak in momentum.
Cao Yue's last two words of praise made her a little proud, and she couldn't refute Cao Yue in righteous words.
"Believe it or not. Hehe, I'm kind enough to remind you. Don't forget, back then, my cousin Cao Bianjiao led the army to kill Li Zicheng in an embarrassment and almost killed him. You also know the combat effectiveness of Jiannu, they were all defeated by our brothers, do you think that the combat effectiveness of your rebels can be stronger than them, and they can defeat the officers and troops led by our brothers? Hehe, Red Girl, although you are strong in martial arts, don't be self-righteous, if you lead the army to fight against me, I will definitely be able to kill you and flee in defeat, my husband Li Yan is the same, Li Zicheng is not much better. A word of advice, don't try to do the mantis arm blocking the car. ”
Cao Yue insulted all the people she respected, and said that the righteous army was useless, and her tone was quite contemptuous, and after the red lady heard it, she became angry again, and she was very anxious to justify it clearly, but she didn't know how to refute Cao Yue. In the end, he forgot that his hands and feet were tied, and he wanted to rush over to reason with Cao Yue impulsively, but his body lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Her fall also interrupted Cao Yue's impassionedness, and seeing the red lady who fell to the ground, struggling to get up, ashamed and anxious, Cao Yue couldn't cry or laugh a little. He hesitated, but walked over, grabbed the red lady's body, and made her stand up.
The red lady struggled desperately to prevent Cao Yue from touching her body, but as a result, Cao Yue's hand broke free, her body lost her balance again, and she involuntarily fell into Cao Yue's hand. Cao Yue subconsciously reached out and hugged the red lady firmly.
