Chapter 407: Xiucai Meets Soldiers
After listening to Dong Wan's explanation, Xiahou Chong was still unmoved, he said, "So what? ”
Dong Wan continued: "Since you are a loyal person, you should be loyal to our true Emperor, His Majesty, Emperor Jianxing. You just said that loyalty is to be loyal to the monarch, and Cao Pi is obviously not a real monarch, on the contrary, he is just a traitor who usurped the country, so you should not be loyal to him, but against him. ”
"This ......" Xiahou Chong's head couldn't turn for a while, and he was speechless, he felt that Dong Wan was quite reasonable, but it seemed that there were some inappropriate places in some places, what was wrong, he couldn't think of it for a while, there was no way, he could only be silent.
In this era, the imperial dynasty only experienced the Qin and Han dynasties, of which the Qin Dynasty was only a dozen years, and the next four hundred years were the Han Dynasty, so the orthodox status of the dynasty was very firm in the hearts of the people.
If it is a person who knows the direction of history in later generations, he will definitely refute: the change of dynasties is a common thing, and the emperor and prince will have a kind of peace? A beggar like Zhu Yuanzhang can also be an emperor, and a foreign barbarian like a Mongolian and a Manchurian can also live in the Central Plains, where is there any difference between orthodoxy and unorthodoxy, no matter what your background and background, whoever has a big fist can be an emperor.
Even if it is impossible for a person to be called a "true son of heaven", if you don't accept it, you will be killed, if you don't surrender, you will be killed, why bother with you, what kind of reasoning, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is the truth.
That change of dynasty was not accompanied by bursts of bloody rain, and that founding process was not a slaughter of thousands of miles, especially in the process of foreign invasion of the Central Plains, the entire Central Plains was full of people.
In their eyes, the Han people are just two-legged sheep that can be slaughtered at will, who will tell the sheep what reason, anyway, those who do not accept the rule are just one word: "kill", kill all the thorns, and the rest of the people will not want to become obedient people.
It's a pity that Xiahou Chong was born more than a thousand years early, and what happened in the later history has not happened, he has no cases to learn from, and he is not a person who is good at debating, which has long been considered and used by Dong Wan, so he was unsurprisingly speechless by Dong Wan.
Dong Wan didn't intend to let him go like this, and continued: "General Xiahou, even if you don't recognize the legitimacy of the Liu family, then please open your eyes and look at the current situation. Now the general trend of the world is very clear, the revival of the Han Dynasty is already unstoppable, and soon, Emperor Jianxing will be able to reunify the world. As the saying goes, the victor is the prince and the loser is Kou, and after regaining the world, the historian who wrote the history book is the Han official.
General Xiahou, please think about it, how will these historians write this history when the time comes? Dong believes that this short period of the history of the Three Kingdoms will definitely not be recognized by those Han officials, in their eyes, this history is estimated to be just a period of rebellion in the country, and will not exist in history as a dynasty, just like the new dynasty established by Wang Mang.
Especially Cao Pi, who is the protagonist of the usurpation of the throne, will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Now, do you still think that you should be loyal to such a traitor? ”
Xiahou Chong was completely speechless at this time, and Dong Wan's words raised a very realistic question: history is written by the victors. If in the end it is the victory of Wei and the unification of the world by the Cao clan, then it will be the historians of Wei who will write the history of the period of the Three Kingdoms.
Then naturally everything is easy to say, Cao Cao is still Taizu, Cao Pi will become the real founding emperor, can be called Emperor Taizong, and he will naturally become the founding hero, and it is not impossible to pay homage to the prime minister at that time.
However, once the world is unified by Shu Han in the end, it will be a big problem, the person who writes history is an official of the Han Dynasty, and anything in the history books will definitely be inclined to Liu Han, and everyone else is a chaotic minister and thief.
Especially for the Cao father and son, one of these two people coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the other simply usurped the throne on behalf of the Han Dynasty, their actions will definitely be stinking for thousands of years, and they will definitely be sung down by the historians of the Han Dynasty, so the person who helped the Cao family fight the world will definitely become an accomplice of the Cao family's counter-revolutionary group and be sung down together.
For some people, they don't care whether they have a good or bad reputation in the history books, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in history who would have done those bastard things that people and gods were angry about, but for people like Xiahou Chong who take loyalty as the code of conduct, the name behind him is very important.
For people like them, it is the lifelong pursuit of these people to leave a name in history, and if they leave a bad name in history, it will be more uncomfortable than killing them, which can be said to be a good character, but at the same time, it is also a big weakness, a weakness that is easy to be exploited. Such people have one word to describe them: burdened by fame.
Dong Wan's words are reasonable and well-founded, whether in theory or in reality, they are irrefutable, even if there is a great Confucian who reads poetry and books at this time, there is nothing to say, let alone a martial artist like Xiahou Chong.
However, Takeo has an advantage that he doesn't have to play tricks with you, and he can use a knife if he can't be reasonable. The so-called Xiucai encounters soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say that this is the truth.
Some martial artists can't bargain for money in their mouths, so they play tricks, no matter what you say, he just doesn't listen, and when he is in a hurry, he will use force. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, everyone likes to communicate with people in the way they are best at.
The best way for literati to communicate is to talk endlessly, sharp words, and long truths quoting scriptures, these are their weapons, and these weapons can ~ penetrate the hearts of the enemy. Martial artists, on the other hand, are much more direct, and their best way of communicating is their force, that is, their fists and knives, and if they play a horizontal game, they will directly destroy the enemy physically.
Both of these methods of communication have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the occasion. And now, Dong Wan, a literati, sacrificed his most powerful weapon, and soon killed Xiahou to the point of losing his armor.
In this kind of verbal confrontation, Dong Wan can be regarded as a complete victory, but this kind of victory sometimes does not work, because this kind of victory only exists verbally. This kind of verbal victory only works if the enemy admits it, and if the enemy does not admit it, it is useless at all, and no amount of talk is just a waste of words.
Although Xiahou Chong agreed with the truth of Dong Wan in his heart, at least he couldn't find a reason to refute it, but he just refused to give in, that is, he refused to surrender. Now that the reason has been made so clear, what is the reason for his refusal to surrender?
There was no reason, at least not for him to say. He had long been dizzy by Dong Wan's words, his head had become a mess, and now he had almost stopped thinking, his head was in a blank state, there was no reason, there was no reason, there was only one obsession in his heart, that is, he could not surrender, he could not betray Wei and Cao Pi.
