Chapter 297: Pang Tong VS Two Waste Materials
Pang Tong's almost indiscriminate coercion and temptation may not have any effect on people with discipline, but for Xiahou Ba, a rookie who has been frightened repeatedly and has long been frightened, it happens to have a very powerful lethality.
In fact, he also made his decision after a very fierce ideological struggle. He remembered the revenge of killing his father, the old lady and his wife who were far away in Chang'an, the cartloads of property transported to Chang'an, and of course, the scenery of being an official in the Wei court.
In the end, none of these thoughts are as important as your own life. When fighting with the Shu army, the sky was full of artillery fire, which fell from the sky like a heavenly punishment; The ground was covered with rivers of blood, charred and mutilated corpses; The terrifying hellish sight of the walls being lifted into the sky with the earth-shattering explosion finally filled his mind, overcoming all remaining thoughts.
Besides, after returning to Shu Han, the official still has something to do, which has long been proved by many generals of Wei and Wu, and there is still a chance to earn back the property, and the wife can also be remarried, as for the old lady
The power of fear is powerful, this black warrior has long experienced, not everyone can overcome fear and not be controlled by the dark side of the Force, Xiahou Ba obviously does not have Luke's ability to fight against the power of fear. So, on this night, he fell into the dark side of the Force and chose to surrender to the empire, the Han Empire. (Note: If you don't understand this passage, please go and watch the six-episode "Star Wars" first.) )
After a struggle of ideas this night, Xiahou Ba secretly made up his mind, and finally let go of a matter of his heart and could sleep peacefully. In another Xiahou Mansion, Xiahou Shang was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. At about the same time, he also received a brocade box. There were no thunderbolts or gold seals in the brocade box, some were just a letter, lying quietly in the brocade box.
The content of this letter is very simple, there is no coercion and temptation, only one sentence: "The only person in the world who can avenge the good fortune is the son of the Han Dynasty, if you want to avenge the innocent and tragic death, open the city gate within twelve hours and serve the great man." ”
This night, Xiahou Shang couldn't sleep all night, he thought about a lot of things, although this letter was only one sentence, but it gave him a lot of inspiration, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. I started thinking about a lot of things that I didn't think about before, and I started thinking about things that I didn't dare to do before, and I want to do them.
From this letter, he had the following insights: First, his beloved concubine died a miserable and unjust death. She shouldn't have died, someone killed her; Second, as a man who loved her more than his own life, he should avenge her, instead of feeling sorry for himself here; Third, there were two enemies who killed Xingxing: his wife, Cao Shi, the lord of Deyang Township, and Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei.
Fourth, Cao and Cao Pi must die, and they must pay for their lives, otherwise they will die blindly; Fifth, these two enemies are very powerful, and it is impossible to take revenge on their own, and it can even be said that there are very few people in this world who can find these two people to take revenge;
Sixth, this letter is right, the only person who can defeat Cao Pi in this world and avenge Huan Xing is Liu Chan, the little emperor of Shu State, even Sun Quan of Eastern Wu does not have this ability; Seventh, in order to avenge Huan Xing as soon as possible, he wanted to help the little emperor of Shu to destroy the Wei court as soon as possible, and let Cao and Cao Pi pay their blood debts as soon as possible, so as to comfort Huan Xing's soul in the sky.
The idea of revenge had never been thought of by Xiahou Shang before, the concept of "the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die" was originally ingrained in his mind, and the person who killed his concubine was the emperor, what could he do? It is simply unrealistic to want revenge, and all the pain can only be buried in one's heart until one's death is suffocated.
Now this letter has opened a door for him, and in front of him is a vast grassland full of flowers and boundless, his originally dead heart has been revived, and his life has a purpose.
This goal is: "Revenge, in order for the beloved woman to smile Jiuquan, we must bring those murderers who killed her to justice." Be sure to give them a taste of hopelessness, pain, and helplessness. ”
Xiahou Shang didn't fall asleep all night, sometimes recalling the happy times with his concubine Huan Xing in the past, sometimes the sad moment when Xiang Xing was captured and killed in his mind, and sometimes planning how to act tomorrow in his heart, and even thinking about how to gallop in the future, leading thousands of troops and horses to attack the capital of Wei, breaking the slut's corpse into thousands of pieces, lifting the dog emperor off the dragon chair, cutting off his head and taking it to Huan Xing's grave to pay respects
Xiahou Shang, who had insomnia, and Xiahou Ba, who slept soundly, were both energetic when they woke up the next morning, of course, Xiahou Ba was really energetic, Xiahou Shang's energetic was pathological hyperactivity, but what the two of them showed was different from the usual state of mental excitement.
After they got up, they immediately ascended to the tent and summoned the generals of all levels under their command to the council hall to hold a military meeting. The two of them invariably held a military meeting, and coincidentally ambushed a sufficient number of swordsmen outside the military tent.
But if the problem cannot be solved through the meeting, or if the agreement cannot be unified, the cup will be thrown, of course, there may be other secret signs, anyway, if there is a disagreement, it will be forcibly subdued by force.
The content of what the two said at the military meeting was similar, and the meaning was probably the same: the Cao family had no way and stole half of the Han family, but they acted perversely, making the people live in dire straits, and the entire Central Plains was plagued to the point that the people were miserable and complained.
In fact, after Cao Cao came to power, he organized Tuntian and took a series of measures to vigorously develop the people's livelihood, so that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the severely damaged economy of the Central Plains has gradually recovered.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, although his talent was not as good as his father, he was Xiao Gui Cao Sui in national politics, and continued to develop the domestic economy according to Cao Cao's routine, and did not do anything that made the people complain, at most he robbed some beautiful women to enjoy it for himself, in this era, this is not a big evil, so the opening remarks of the two Xiahou generals are indeed a bit untrue.
And even if the Cao clan is really perverse, the general is a courtier of the Wei State, and the Xiahou clan has been loyal to the Cao clan for two generations, and it is extremely inappropriate to say such slanderous words against the king, which is no different from rebellion.
Sure enough, after the two Xiahou generals said this, they said their true purpose: the current Han Emperor of Heaven raised hundreds of thousands of heavenly troops to sweep through the universe and relieve the people from hanging upside down. How can I sit back and watch the people live in dire straits.
General Ben decided that from today onwards, he will follow the true destiny of the Han Dynasty and contribute to the revival of the glory of the Han Dynasty. In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, although there are occasional demons and monsters, God bless the Han Dynasty, whenever the country is in danger, there are always saints who come out to respond and reorganize the country.
Now Emperor Jianxing (Liu Chan) is the destiny of heaven, is Zi Weixing down to the earth, since his debut, the south and the north are invincible, but the people are extremely generous, and the people under his rule are living a stable and prosperous life. This is exactly the appearance of the Holy Son of Heaven.
Ben will want to open the city and return to the Han Dynasty, who of you is willing to follow the Ben General to switch to the Han Dynasty and have a better future? If you don't want to, it's okay, but please leave the city and go to Chang'an to continue to serve Cao Wei. For the sake of his former comrades, Ben will never embarrass him.
