Chapter Thirty-Six: The Alliance of Zhaocheng! (6000 words!) )
It's expensive!
This is an evaluation from the mouth of the High Priest of Rock.
Zhen Mi blinked her big eyes, there were autumn waves, the high priest touched her head, felt the familiar feeling, and said softly: "You will have an excellent and noble husband, love you and love you, have a smooth life, peace and joy, and Luo Shen will be with you." ”
There was a sound of gold and stone in her voice, with a sacred solemnity.
Outside Zhaocheng, Liu Bei followed Yuan Cao and the others to arrive, looking at the towering city in front of him, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, although there were no princes to intercept along the way, but there are really a lot of bandits and bandits, and it is indeed unsafe to travel with few people.
Mi Zhen poked out the head of the mantis from the carriage with her son in her arms, full of curiosity, she had come to Zhaocheng when she was a young man with her brother on a business trip, but it was the first time as a member of the Luo family.
Luo Shu Luo Jin father and son Hou in front of the city gate, Liu Bei stepped forward to greet each other, Mi Zhen hugged her son forward, with a delicate and fair face with visible nervousness, Luo Shu and Luo Jin reported to their homes, and walked out of a Luo girl from behind the two, took the child in Mi Zhen's hand, and said with a smile: "Is this the second brother's child?"
Second sister-in-law, my name is Luo Xuan, you can call me Ah Xuan and Xuan'er. ”
Mi Zhen saw that the people of the Luo clan were really as Luo Qi said, and most of her heart was nervous, and Fu Li said: "The concubine has seen the second uncle, the eldest brother, Xuan'er is fine." ”
Luo Shu took Liu Bei to meet Luo Zhang and Tang Ji, while Luo Jin and Luo Xuan took Mi Zhen to the courtyard where Luo Qi lived in Zhaocheng.
When the carriage slowly passed through the inner city gate, Mi Zhen really felt that her current identity was indeed different.
With the passage of time.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, Liu Yu, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhao Hong, Guan Hai and other princes, large and small, all came to Zhaocheng.
It was a feast for the historians, and it was also a great time for the princes to observe the hostile forces.
For example, Zhang Yan.
If it is in the history books, it will definitely be recorded that he is Yuan Shao's courtier, but today he came to Zhaocheng as an independent person, which shows that he is only an ally of Yuan Shao, not just a courtier, just like the relationship between those princes with different surnames and Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty.
Liu Biao and Luo Chu arrived at Zhaocheng one after another, and then a person who was quite unexpected by Cao Cao appeared here, Yuan Shu!
Cao Cao never expected that Yuan Shu would come and come to Zhaocheng, after all, he had already arranged for someone to attack Yuan Shu's territory and drag Yuan Shu in Runan, and Yuan Shao didn't expect that his stupid younger brother would come to Zhaocheng.
The time of Yuan Shu's arrival was September 11, and there were no more princes who arrived within the scope of the Principality of Zhao.
September 13, accompanied by the sound of Taoist bells.
These heroic princes of the troubled times walked into the palace under the guidance of the daring warriors, and these people were all people who stomped on their feet, and the entire Zhuxia and barbarians trembled.
If these people die together in Zhaocheng, the situation in the whole world will go to an unpredictable level.
After the collapse of the authority of the central court of the Han Dynasty, only the Duke of Zhao was able to rally these people with the credibility and prestige accumulated over 1,300 years.
Of course, if you want to command the world, you are dreaming.
At the top of the hall, Luo Zhang and Tang Ji sat upright, and the princes under them sat as observers, and the big princes like Yuan Cao Liu were at the front, and the rest of the princes were lined up in order.
Looking at the black pressure in the hall, Luo Zhang suddenly felt that he would change something by summoning these princes over today.
The world is materialistic, but the silence and chaos are in the hearts of people.
If people's minds are at peace, the world will be stable, and if people's minds are chaotic, the world will be chaotic.
Many people lack courage in their hearts, but when they come to Zhaocheng today, as the lord of one side, they sit here as equals, and when they go back, can they still be a vassal of others with a calm heart?
Could there be something called ambition growing in the heart?
It's almost a given!
Once the desired thing in the heart changes.
Once the mind begins to be disturbed, it is inconceivable what these people who have power will do.
Luo Xiao had already seen this, so he warned the Taiping Army Marshal.
Unlike the rest of the nobility, the feasts in Zhaocheng did not have those beautiful dancing girls, and in this era, the dance was learned by many nobles, a tradition that has been passed down since Bang Zhou, where women danced for men to express their love.
For example, Wang Wenjun danced on the snow for Luo Bai, which is also recorded in the annals of historical records to be passed on to future generations.
Banquets are often held in Zhaocheng, where the beautiful women hold hands with each other and sing and dance, but they do not want to dance for outsiders.
However, although there are no dancing girls, there are men's war dances, singing the war songs of the ancient Bang Zhou, and the solemn atmosphere of the hall is like a military drill.
When the battle dance fell, the passionate music did not stop, but only slightly lowered, Luo Zhang raised the wine lord high, "Welcome to Zhaocheng, please drink this glass of wine." ”
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Zhang looked around at everyone, and saw that some people were already a little impatient and curious, and he said aloud in the music: "Presumably, all of you can't wait to know the purpose of this prince's invitation to come here.
Before that, this prince wants to ask you, do you remember the beginning of "The Royal Road"? ”
"The Royal Road"!
In order to teach the classics written by King Kang, when the feudal princes were feudal, all the princes had a copy, and in that distant era, whoever did not follow the guiding ideology of the "Royal Road" would be taken away from the country, and the sword of King Su shocked the princes of the world.
As for the beginning of the royal road, who will forget?
The royal road is not partial, and Xia Yi is not separate!
Yuan Shu asked in a loud voice, "Grand Duke."
A thousand years ago, barbarians ravaged Zhuxia, and when Zhuxia was in danger, it was like a thread that would break at any time, like an egg that would break at any time.
But a thousand years have passed.
After thousands of years of development by the Zhou Tianzi and the princes and nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, the barbarians retreated.
There are also the emperors of the Han Dynasty who spared no effort to conquer them.
Now the summer is prosperous in the four seas, like a glorious sun.
Those Yidi can only hide in the mountains, forests and rivers, just stealing their lives, is it necessary to mention Xia Yi now? ”
This is not just the idea of Yuan Shu alone, but the thoughts of all the princes present, in their opinion, even the Hu people in the north are not opponents of the Central Plains.
Gongsun Zhan's white horse is horizontal, Lu Bu is brave, Ma Teng and Han Sui are all proud, Yan Guo will drive the Donghu system and the newly rising Xianbei to the west, these barbarians can only hug their heads when they encounter Zhuxia.
Luo Zhang said in a heavy voice: "King Su said that the world is changing all the time, only change is constant, isn't it the same for the strength and weakness between Xia Yi?"
Yidi is indeed weak.
However, the use of troops in the northwest in the 100 years of the Later Han Dynasty did not have much effect, and the border princes had good news every time, but the Hu people in the north were getting bigger and bigger.
When Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, there were eight million households in the Han court, and now, how many years have passed, there are only seven million households left, it is true that there are hidden households and fugitives, but how many of them died directly?
How many casualties were there in the last great battle between the princes?
The plague that broke out in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, if it was not controlled at the end of the day, how many people would have died?
If seven million households become two million households, one million households, do you still think that Zhuxia is better than barbarians? ”
The princes suddenly changed their faces and said with a forced smile: "Grand Duke, the population of the world is seven or eight out of ten, is this too alarmist?" ”
Luo Zhang said sharply: "Alarmist?
Don't you know the horrors of the plague?
In the land of a county, 50,000 households, in seven days, ten to six or seven.
If it weren't for the fact that the children of the family happened to pass by and deal with it, I don't know how much harm it would cause, and I don't know how many people would die.
The plague does not care whether it is a powerful person or a common person, it always discriminates equally.
The sergeants of that county have all died of the plague, and if you are willing to follow in their footsteps, I have nothing to say today.
Luo's has the best healer in the world, even if there is a plague, it is enough to protect himself, it is really a summer worm that cannot be spoken, and the erector is not enough to plan! ”
I'm afraid that only Luo Zhang and Luo Chuan dare to point at the noses of these princes and scold them.
Today, there are many ways to prevent plague, such as burning large piles of corpses and drinking less raw water, which has been practiced since the Bang Zhou period, but plague is still a thing that makes people smell and change.
Voices sounded from the hall, "Please make a big announcement." ”
Seeing that everyone finally paid attention, Luo Zhang looked around and said loudly: "There is a rumor in the world that the plague is a punishment from heaven, which is a fallacy, the plague is a lesion, since it is a disease, it can be cured."
Nowadays, Zhaocheng has written the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", which contains prescriptions for the treatment of various wind colds, as well as measures to prevent wind cold, plague, and so on.
My father thinks that one person is short, many people are strong, and one doctor can live people's lives, which is a matter of immeasurable merit.
How much more can a healer save than ten or a hundred people?
If we sign an agreement together, we will jointly protect those doctors who travel in the world, and provide them with convenience, so that the doctors can smoothly administer medicine to save people, and can pass on the way of medicine, so that everyone in the world can know the art of life.
Save the dead and help the wounded, suppress the epidemic, so that the injured can live, and repair the vitality all day long.
Such a merit, even if it is viewed by King Su from above the Nine Heavens, he must celebrate for us!
I wonder what you think? ”
Protecting the Healer?
Who doesn't know that there are many good healers in Zhaocheng, as Zhaogong said just now, the best healers are in Zhaocheng.
Zhao Gong saw the chaos in the world and wanted to make the healer a neutral role, form a guild, and run around the world, and many soldiers died directly because they were injured and could not be treated.
There are also continuous wars that have no time to dispose of the corpses, leading to the outbreak of the plague, and if these healers want to deal with the plague, they will have to enter the ward, and they will face many risks.
Worthy of Rockwell!
Dare to be in danger of the world!
Yuan Cao Liu and the others were all in awe, and Yuan Shao and Liu Bei directly clasped their fists and said: "Zhao Gong is righteous, how dare you disobey?" ”
As soon as the two took the lead, the hall suddenly shouted in unison: "Zhaogong is righteous, how dare you disobey!" ”
Luo Xuan, who was listening to the movement in the hall in the side hall, suddenly exhaled softly, and the high unison made his expression, which had always been a little confused, appear to be surprised.
He was born with a talent for medicine, and edited "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" with Zhang Zhongjing, but just writing books, he always felt that something was missing, he felt that medicine should be a practical science, and at this moment he heard his uncle's words, he understood what he should do.
In the palace, Luo Chang was not happy to see the princes agree, because it was just an appetizer.
The music in the hall gradually moved towards the divine ethereal, and Luo's music could always arouse the fantasy in people's hearts, and faintly, the princes in the hall seemed to see countless majestic gods watching them.
Luo Zhang's voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Heaven has the virtue of good life, and the ancient holy kings have good virtue, look at those kings who have done wrong things."
The king of the Xia Dynasty and the king of the Shang Dynasty, so they lost the world.
King Li of the Zhou Dynasty died in the chaos, King Huang was expelled and died in the mountains by the countrymen, King You was killed by Dog Rong and Shenhou, and King Ji was killed by his son.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was killed by the princes of Jingnan, and the Emperor Ling was killed by the Taiping Army.
It is precisely because Heaven is disgusted with these kings that it has sent down a mandate to kill them.
And how much more than kings?
Which of the unscrupulous princes and lords of Bangzhou was not slain and killed?
The Qin Dynasty originally had a 400-year mandate of heaven, but the monarch of the Qin state used tyrannical behavior to unify the world without knowing repentance, so the second ended his mandate.
Isn't that a wake-up call? ”
The Qin Dynasty had a four-hundred-year mandate of heaven?
But because of the tyranny to get the world, so the second died?
This is the first time everyone has heard of it, and they are a little shocked for a while, Luo Zhang's mouth is full of nonsense but his face is full of seriousness, and no one knows that he is talking nonsense.
Do you understand what the reputation of the millennium family is?
Luo Zhang said calmly: "King Su is so caring for the people of Zhuxia, he woke up for a short time, and then the Luo family went to Guanzhong to kill Li Dao Guo Yan, which is exactly why King Su is too disgusted with Li Dao Guo Yan."
During the war, Li Dao Guo Yan disregarded the lives of ordinary people, killed ordinary people and looted grain and grass.
Trampling on the moral bottom line and etiquette, righteousness and shame formed over the past thousand years, tearing apart the heavens and morals, and making human ethics not exist in the pass, this is unbearable for the supreme and holy Su Wang, so Li Dao Guo Yan must die. ”
!!!
Everyone in the hall straightened their backs instantly, and once Luo Shi began to mention King Su, it showed that Luo Shi was very serious.
Before Luo's sent daring warriors to Guanzhong to kill Li Dao Guo Yan, most people thought that they were going to avenge Luo's caravan, but it should be more than that.
Because it is impossible for the Luo clan to fight with the two powerful princes just by virtue of suspicion.
Everyone wants to know what the criteria for a Roche shot are.
What Luo Zhang is talking about now is the reason why Luo Shi will take action against Li Dao Guo Yan.
It is not because of Li Dao Guo Yan's brutal rule in Guanzhong, because Luo's has always believed that it is the responsibility of the people to resist the tyrannical rule, just like the Taiping Army uprising, it is after the Zhang Jiao uprising that Luo Xiao will help.
Only those who dare to resist are entitled to a peaceful and stable life, and those who are obedient and obedient, and those who will only wait for what they want, will only die in vain in oppression and exploitation.
What really disgusted Luo was that they trampled on many rules, such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, which sound false, but in fact enable people to be human beings, rather than become beasts, and maintain social trust and social connections.
Luo Zhang sighed slightly: "King Su's gods are in the sky, and the king who walks the royal path will sit on the throne."
If someone slaughters a city, can such a person become the co-ruler of the princes?
If there is a man who separates the people from the people, can such a person become the father of the world?
If there is a man who does not regard the people as men, but as cattle and horses, can such a man walk in the royal way?
If a king does not follow the royal way of the people, but clings to tyrannical tyranny, can he bring freedom and stability to the world for a long time? ”
There is too much information contained in Luo Zhang's words, which makes people can't help but recall that King Zhaosheng once practiced the law in Zhaocheng and stepped the ruling technique of controlling people's thoughts into the mud.
Until now!
The situation in the Later Han Dynasty was not as bad as the situation in the late Qin and late years of Emperor Er, but the people of the world already felt that it was intolerable, and they followed Zhang Jiao's uprising to destroy the Han Dynasty.
And the nobles of the Han Dynasty, some were loyal to the orthodox emperor, and some were loyal to their beliefs and unconditionally let them obey their orders?
Why?
Cao Cao listened to the cold sweat, he only felt that Luo Zhang was ordering himself word by word, he really didn't care about human life, he was short of food in Yanzhou, and he almost ate people.
However, because Xun Yu knows Luo's very well, he has always reminded him that even if he starves to death, he must make people behave.
Once you get out of the step of cannibalism, you are no longer a human, but a beast.
Rock's will do whatever it takes to destroy these people who have eaten people, and even to the point of completely opposing him.
Cao Cao did not waver in the end and forcibly restrained himself, but at the cost of starvation of many soldiers.
Liu Bei only felt that every word Luo Zhang said was on his heart, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud: "Zhao Gong Gao Zhi!"
This is exactly what Bei has always wanted to say, the world is chaotic, it is those who do not care about the world too many careerists, so the people are poor, if the princes of the world have a benevolent heart, even if the war for many years, the dead will not exceed 100,000, why the population of millions of households will disappear?
Zhao Gong summoned us for this matter?
Please also speak, and be prepared to listen. ”
Liu Bei's words were inspiring, and the princes in the palace were naturally a little dissatisfied with him behaving like this, but Liu Bei was indeed benevolent, which made everyone not know how to ridicule him.
Luo Zhang bowed his head at Liu Bei, in his opinion, Liu Bei is really a pity, although King Su said that there is no destiny in this world, but there is a scale in people's hearts, not to mention that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are unlikely to let Liu Bei revive the Han Dynasty, and even the Jiangdong occupied by Luo Chu is estimated to not help Liu Bei revive.
Putting away these thoughts, Luo Zhang looked at the princes who were all staring at him, and said loudly: "This duke has been thinking about it all along, how can we minimize the losses of the war?"
How can we prevent man from turning into beasts in a great war?
Since the barbaric era when Ru Mao drank blood, the ancestors and saints of Zhuxia have been teaching us to gradually know the etiquette, if we abandon it easily, wouldn't it be a betrayal of our ancestors?
Since ancient times, there have been rumors of ominous killings.
But the commander feared that the captives would rebel, so he had to kill them.
There are also soldiers who have no desire to fight, abandon their armor and surrender, but have no way out.
Ben Gong wondered, why is this?
It was just a letter, and there was no mutual trust between the two sides, and they were suspicious of each other, so they had such deeds, and if we had made an agreement, we would not have killed prisoners after the war.
Such a matter must be complicated and difficult to say, but you can use this as a basis to negotiate a specific charter for the captives, do you think so? ”
Don't kill the captives?
The princes couldn't help but nodded, no one was willing to kill the captives until they had to, and the main reason for killing the captives was because they had no food and grass and feared betrayal.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang said again: "Slaughtering the city will hurt the heavens and peace, and my father thinks it is impossible to do it."
Moreover, agriculture is the foundation of the world, and people are the foundation of agriculture.
And when the city was slaughtered, order was trampled on and morality was completely broken.
Gentlemen, ask yourself, those soldiers dare to commit those great crimes of humanity today, abandon benevolence and righteousness, tomorrow they will forget loyalty and filial piety, once the sin takes root in the heart, it cannot be uprooted, you are all such tigers and wolves, can you sleep in peace?
Do you think so? ”
Really!
Some people in the palace had already expected that Luo Zhang would talk about the slaughter of the city, after all, one of the most vicious events in the war was the slaughter of the city, and almost every major event of purgatory in the world was reflected in the slaughter of the city.
Liu Bei almost laughed when he heard this, because he found that what Luo Zhang said, he could do it, or he had never done these things, and now he was full of lightheart.
The rest of the princes were a little restless, and the things that Luo Zhang said were to put restraints on everyone, so that all the princes who were interested in dominating the world would abide by these moral bottom lines.
These things are not difficult to implement, after all, Liu Bei did this, but this makes many people very uncomfortable, after all, these methods are really easy to use, and complying with these is like tying your hands and feet.
But looking at Zhao Gong's expression, he was too serious, making people have no doubt that if they didn't agree, Luo would definitely make a move.
Luo Zhang did not stop, and then one document after another appeared in the hands of the princes, on which were the specific content of what Luo Zhang said.
The princes were silent for a while, agreed in principle with Luo Zhang's idea, and began to argue about the specific way to implement the provisions.
————
The signing of the "Jian'an Zhaocheng Convention" is an event worthy of special mention in the ancient history of our country, led by Zhaogong Luozhang, and the main princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were stamped on the treaty.
This is the world's first legal treaty that restricts the rules of behavior of the two hostile sides in a state of war, which favorably safeguards the moral bottom line and social and economic damage caused by the inevitable war, and contains the simple humanitarian spirit of the ancient people of our country, which is an immortal contribution made by our country to world civilization. - History, Eighth Grade Volume II, Royal Publishing House
