Chapter Thirty-Six
Since the fat man joined the army, more than a year has passed.
In the past year, the fat man has lost some weight, it is too hard, he doesn't eat well every day, he doesn't sleep well, there are really too many people who come to assassinate Huang Pu, last night, there were more than 20 waves, and it didn't stop all night, sometimes the fat man is thinking, is it all the people in this world who have some ability, have come to assassinate Huang Pu.
The fat man asked Huang Pu: "You said that these people knew that it would be impossible to assassinate you, and history has proven it, but why did they come to die?"
Huang Pu replied: "For the sake of their noble character, they cannot tolerate my existence, or disdain to live in the same world as me, so if they want to kill me, if I don't die, they will die." ”
"But if they want to kill you, why do you want to let them all go? Don't you know that after you have deliberately let them go, it will not be long before they will come back. Just think about the little girl last night, she has been here more than twenty times. ”
Huang Pu replied: "Before you came, all the people who came to assassinate me, not only will they die, but I will also find out their relatives and kill them all, but after you come, I will find that they can't hurt me, so they don't have to die." ”
"Why?" the fat man puzzled.
Huang Pu replied: "They are all noble people, if they can't threaten my life, I would be happy for them to continue to live and live to do more for this world." ”
The fat man turned his head and said helplessly: "Then you can also imprison them." ”
Huang Pu said: "If they are imprisoned, when they find that they have no hope, they will kill themselves, I don't want them to die." ”
"So you deliberately loosened their guards, let them escape on their own, and then self-righteously continued to assassinate you. ”
Huang Pu smiled and nodded.
The fat man said bitterly: "I'm bitter, do you know how fat I used to be, look at me now, thin as firewood." ”
Huang Pu sincerely thanked: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
The fat man looked up to the sky and was speechless, and sighed: "When will such a day be the end?"
Huang Pu looked at the city in the distance and muttered, "It's almost there." ”
The fat man followed Huang Pu's gaze into the distance, and suddenly noticed the difference of that city.
It is said to be a city, but there are no walls, no gates, only eight avenues extending from the city to all directions, and at this moment the army is pressing, but no sign of resistance is found, and no sign of surrender is found.
The people there lived as usual, eating when they should eat, drinking when they should drink, beating their children and beating their children, reading books when they should read, talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to notice the 400,000 army that had arrived.
It's just that, from the eyes they occasionally look at, the fat man actually feels absurdly that they are disdainful and disdainful of their own army of 400,000.
In this city, there is an indescribable aura of a fat man, and this aura rises to the sky, as if it can pierce the sky.
Huang Pu told the fat man that this breath was Haoran righteousness.
Huang Pu looked deeply at the city in front of him, and he had deep feelings for this city, because he walked out of this city.
This city is called Wei and Jin.
This city is famous all over the world, and when the world is desolate, this city is the only faith in the hearts of the world, because most of the great Confucians in the world live in this city.
This city is a sea of books and a gathering place of learning, and most of the skilled craftsmen in the world live here.
This city has a long history, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and has integrated a gentleman's style into the bones of all people.
The so-called gentleman, gentle and cautious, discerning and close to forgiveness, the gentleman is in the opposition, the villain is in power, the rich and noble cannot be lewd, and the mighty cannot be bent.
A gentleman has nine thoughts, seeing Siming, listening to Sicong, Se Siwen, Maung Sigong, Yan Sizhong, Respectful of things, doubting and asking, thinking about difficult, and seeing righteousness.
A gentleman has four no's, a gentleman does not act recklessly, there must be a way to move, a gentleman does not speak in vain, the language must be reasonable, the gentleman does not ask, the request must be righteous, the gentleman does not act vainly, and the action must be right.
How can such a city, such a people, look down on the 400,000 army outside, and in their minds, those people are nothing more than filthy butchers?
Huang Pu grew up here, this is his home, it is his faith, it is the holy place in his heart, he went out from here, he wanted to promote the education here to the whole world, however, he found that it was impossible, so this city became his last obstacle, because with this city, people will have the sustenance and excuse to deceive themselves.
This city must be removed.
The fat man liked this city, so the fat man said to Huang Pu: "You see, these people have no intention of resisting at all, let's go to the next place." ”
Huang Pu shook his head and said to the fat man, "No, this city must be uprooted. ”
The fat man was shocked and said urgently: "Why, they didn't resist, don't you never kill people who don't resist?"
Huang Pu said: "You are wrong, I am not killing people who do not resist, but not killing people who bow their heads and surrender, you see, do they bow their heads?"
The fat man only saw the heads raised high, but he did not see half of the expression, the fat man knew that this city would never surrender, because they had their own pride, their own beliefs, they were noble and arrogant.
But the fat man really couldn't bear to see the blood flowing here, so he dissuaded: "They don't deserve to die, they won't pose any threat to you, let them go." ”
Huang Pu said: "You are wrong, they are the group of people who pose the greatest threat to me, in this world, there can only be one orthodoxy, since their Taoism cannot educate the world, then, they must perish." ”
The fat man was silent for a long time, for more than a year, the fat man already knew what Huang Pu was doing, and also admitted that as the master said, Huang Pu was really a person with great compassion.
He wants to build an orderly world, a world where there is no unity of writing, no roads, no cars and horses, no currency, and no system.
He will put a sword in the heavens of this world, a sword that hangs over everyone's head, and restrains their desires.
And to do all this, the first thing to do is to unify the region, which Huang Pu is about to do, and the next thing to do is to unify the faith, and the city in front of him is the biggest obstacle in front of him. Therefore, the city must be destroyed.
The fat man was speechless, he also wanted that kind of world, it is conceivable that if Huang Pu succeeded, then there would be many, many fewer wars in the world, and there would even be no more wars, and there would undoubtedly be too many fewer deaths, and everyone would be able to live and work in peace and contentment, not be devastated by war.
And wanting that kind of world, but it is really full of bones, the fat man feels that he will never be able to do it, and Huang Pu did it, he gave up all his emotions, and endured the infamy of eternity without hesitation, just to give the world a bright future.
The fat man knew that he couldn't stop Huang Pu, so he lowered his head in pain, unwilling to look at what would happen next.
But what he didn't expect was that Huang Pu did not immediately order an attack, but ordered the army to camp outside the city, looking at the fat man's puzzled eyes, he smiled and said, "I'm still waiting, I'm waiting for an order." ”
The fat man was puzzled and asked Huang Pu what order he was waiting for.
Huang Pu smiled and told him that he would know soon.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, a fast horse rushed into the barracks, and immediately a soldier held a gold medal in his hand and shouted: "The king of Chu has an order, not to offend the city of Wei and Jin, and Huangpu will accept the order." ”
There was a little ripple in the camp, and the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, because the city in front of them was the faith in their hearts, although this faith could not give them any help, but they were still willing to save the pure land in their hearts, so they were unwilling to slaughter that city, and now this holy decree came at such a high time.
Involuntarily, all the soldiers were full of gratitude to the very strange King of Chu.
Huang Pu quietly pressed the gold medal in front of him and was silent.
The fat man didn't know why, he breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Huang Pu: "Look, your king doesn't want to offend this city, you won't disobey orders, right?"
Huang Pu said: "Don't you know, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected?"
The fat man was helpless, knowing that he had already made up his mind, and no one could reverse it, not even the King of Chu.
The fat man suddenly thought that Huang Pu had said that he would wait for an order, could it be this order? But he knew that it would be such an order, so why did he have to wait, did he have to deliberately bear the responsibility of disobeying the order?
The fat man asked him, "Why do you have to wait when you know that it will be an order for you to withdraw from the army?"
Huang Pu smiled but did not answer.
In the next two days, there were sergeants galloping on horses in the camp, all holding a gold medal in their hands, and shouting: "The king of Chu has an order, not to offend the city of Wei and Jin, and Huangpu will take the order." ”
In just two days, eighteen gold medals were delivered, and they all converged in the hands of Huang Pu.
The fat man finally figured out why Huang Pu would wait for such an order. He is paving the way for the king of Nachu, paving the way for the king of Nachu with his own life. His body will gather resentment from everyone, and then, he will send his head to the desk of the king of Chu, and then the king of Chu will be able to initially win the hearts of the people in the world.
This was definitely planned by him from the beginning.
After figuring it out, the fat man looked at the white-haired man in front of him in a complicated way, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, he finally believed that this person was really a person with great compassion, and he was far inferior to him.
Huang Pu picked up the fat man and said to him, "It doesn't have to be like this. I have one last thing that I need your help with. ”
The fat man said, "Say it." ”
"I'm going into town to meet someone, but there are too many people who don't want me to see him, so I need your escort. ”
The fat man agreed, without hesitation, and willingly agreed.
Huang Pu smiled knowingly, and then called the guards to help him remove his armor.
After taking a hot bath, changing into a blue scribe's robe, and taking the fat man, he left the camp and walked into the city.
