Chapter 20: A Night Talk Under the Moon (Part II)
"Hahaha..., what a worthy task, revive the Han Dynasty! What a saying!
Mr. Kong Ming, when you say this, what is the difference between Liu Bei and Gu? Isn't what Gu is doing now reviving the Han Dynasty?
At least with Lone's support, His Majesty was able to reign over the world and let all the princes respect him. If there was no lonely support, do you think there would be a current majesty? Will there be today's Uncle Liu?
Yuan Shao is stronger than Lonely! But why didn't he establish the Son of Heaven? Not to mention Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, these relatives! When His Majesty was in trouble, who did they lend a hand?
Now that the lonely trend has become a big trend, it has led those weak princes to stand in line, saying that the lonely is a traitor, and that the son of heaven is coerced to order the princes! But did they ever remember that when they were lonely and weak, they were not as respectful to His Majesty as they are now?
At that time, why didn't they say that the Son of Heaven was held hostage to order the princes? Why didn't they rush ahead of the lonely to meet the Son of Heaven and worship the Son of Heaven? ”
"Prime Minister Cao, what you just said is indeed true, but do you know that if you weren't too fast, my lord might have gone to greet the Son of Heaven."
"Really? It's a pity that time can't be turned back, otherwise, maybe the current Lone Club will curse Uncle Liu Huang with the world, and the name of Uncle Huang is actually a thief.
No matter how much you look at the thatched house, this beautiful talk will not be staged, and you will not go out of the mountain. Because history will be rewritten, the people who assisted Liu Bei may be Xun Yu, Guo Jia and the like. ”
"Prime Minister Cao, Liang didn't expect your imagination to be so rich. Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present!
Liang admits that your strength is very strong, whether it is geography or population, it is far better than my lord. But you also have to know that my father-in-law and Jiangdong Sun Quan are now brothers-in-law. The combined strength of the two of us is much more than just one plus one equals two. ”
"Lone understands what you mean, externally, there are your Sun and Liu coalition forces in the south of Lone, and there are grassland people in the north of Lone, and there are some unstable factors.
Internally, there are opposing forces and ambitious people in the court, and they are staring at Gu all the time, hoping to see Gu fail. Only then will they have a chance to knock out Lone or even kill him.
But! Whether it is external or internal, these problems are not justified, because Lone is Cao Cao, the unique Cao Cao. ”
"Prime Minister Cao, you are very confident! Aren't you afraid of the world's mouth? Aren't you afraid that the historian's pen will become a model for traitors? ”
Cao Cao moved his neck, raised his head, and looked up at the bright moon. Then, take a deep breath.
"Mr. Kong Ming, do you know that Gu originally didn't want to be like this, he just wanted to be a good official in peace, even if it was a county official. You must have heard the comment of a certain great sage to Lonely, the capable minister of the prosperous times, and the traitor of the troubled times.
Lone didn't expect that Lone would be involved in one thing after another. In these things, Lone's role is small but indispensable.
The years are long, time flies, and the past is unbearable. After experiencing the ordeal of the heart, Lone finally gave up everything and returned to his hometown to hunt and study, so uncomfortable.
However, God doesn't seem to want Lone to be so idle. After Gu left the capital, the world became more chaotic, which can be said to be even more chaotic than the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you. Maybe you're a general today, and you'll be a dead corpse tomorrow.
In desperation, for the sake of his family and the old folks in his hometown, Lone had to put on his armor again, take out the family's money, and form the Cao family army.
I'm afraid you don't know! At that time, as long as there was something to eat, someone would throw themselves under the banner of the Cao family's army. Not now! Not only should we manage food and shelter, but we must also pay our salaries. ”
"Prime Minister Cao, what are you saying to me about? It seems that this has nothing to do with my father-in-law, and it has nothing to do with the current battle at all! Zhuge Liang took advantage of Cao Cao's pause to interrupt what he wanted to say next.
"Kong Ming! Listen to Lone's continued story. When Gu finishes speaking, you will understand everything.
Since the formation of the Cao Jiajun, the pressure on Gu has not been reduced, but has become more and more intense. Insomnia and headaches have become nightmares that Lone can never get rid of.
For the sake of Cao Jiajun, Lone can describe himself with four words: exhaustion. Of course, the hard work paid off, Lone's army grew stronger and stronger, and his subordinates gathered more and more, causing Lone's power to grow stronger day by day.
welcomed the Son of Heaven and defeated Yuan Shao, so that Gu had the foundation to stabilize the north. Later, after years of conquest, Gu finally pacified the north, so that the area north of the Yangtze River could prosper under Gu's protection.
It is said that loneliness is cruel, and it is better to bear the people of the world than to let the people of the world bear the loneliness. But is that really the case? Do they really understand loneliness?
No! They don't understand! In this chaotic world, only by using a butcher's knife to make yourself a hegemon can you shock the Quartet, shut up Xiaoxiao, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The division of princes is not conducive to the development of the country, and years of conquest will cause a country to face collapse. It is an indisputable fact that the Han family will decay, and what Gu is doing now is just letting him fall later.
Therefore, as long as Lone lives, Lone will not allow anyone to fight the idea of the Son of Heaven, and will not allow a big force to divide one side.
Power must be centralized and unified in the hands of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must also reign under the protection of Lonely.
Mr. Kong Ming, you should understand loneliness now! You should understand Lone's attitude towards the Sun and Liu coalition forces! I know Lone's determination to fight the battle now! ”
Zhuge Liang tried his best to be calm, but his heart was confused by Cao Cao.
If it weren't for Liu Bei's visit to the thatched house, but Cao Cao's visit, would he have thrown himself under his door at that time?
"Hehe, are you hesitating, assuming your relationship with Lone?
Don't think about it, what you're thinking about is meaningless. If you want to realize the ambition in your heart, in the current situation and the different development of various forces, it is undoubtedly right to choose Liu Bei.
Uncle Liu Huang is a generous person, and he will remember the kindness of sending charcoal in the snow for a lifetime. ”
"Prime Minister Cao, the conversation with you tonight has benefited Liang a lot. From this moment on, Liang will re-examine and reposition you. ”
"Hahaha..., yes. I was very happy to have an interview with Mr. Wolong tonight.
But I hope that the next time we meet, you can respect each other in your heart, just like Lone. Tonight, you are in front of Lonely, but you are left behind.
In a few moments, it will be dawn, and it will be time for Lone to leave.
Go back and tell Liu Bei, we'll see you on the battlefield tomorrow! ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he did not delay, turned on his horse, led more than 100 horsemen to escort him, and embarked on the way back to the camp.
"Cao Cao, how many people in the world can understand you?" Zhuge Liang stood on the high slope and stopped to look into the distance. Cao Cao had a great impact on him tonight, making him have to re-examine the current situation.
