Sima Shi and the two brothers, the meaning is already very obvious.

Especially Sima Zhao, his eyes looked at Xu Lei firmly, and their opposition made Xu Lei feel powerless.

"This matter is non-negotiable, you better go back, we still have a lot of things to do." Sima Shi's voice was cold and resolute.

Normally, he wouldn't casually give an eviction order to a guest, but now he can't help it anymore.

Xu Lei bit his lip, he knew that he couldn't convince the stubborn brothers. He shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.

People have already said it so obviously, isn't it too thick-skinned here when the face is dead?

"In that case, you two brothers can do your own thing."

As soon as he walked to the door, Sima Zhao's voice came from behind him.

"Xi Yu is about to attack, General Xu is really idle, he still has to worry about this kind of thing, shouldn't he think about how to deal with the enemy?"

Xu Lei looked back at Sima Zhao looking at himself with sarcasm.

He snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and left immediately, but the two brothers were in a very heavy mood.

Sima Shi clenched his fists: "Cao Pi, this guy is simply too hateful. ”

"My brother doesn't have to be like this kind of villain, if there is nothing to do, my brother will go back to the room first."

Sima Shi nodded, and Sima Zhao retreated.

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and spreads on the ground, creating patches of light.

Xu Lei's figure looked a little lonely and depressed in the light spots.

He walked silently, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

He had come up with such a good idea, thinking that it would be successful, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and when he returned to the barracks, I guess everyone would laugh at him.

At this moment, a butterfly fluttered by, as if laughing at his embarrassment.

"Damn!" Xu Lei cursed in a low voice, almost falling down from distraction.

He steadied himself and continued on his way, but his steps became heavier and heavier.

When Xu Lei returned to the barracks, the soldiers immediately gathered around and asked about the situation.

His silence and heavy expression made the soldiers' hearts sink and they exchanged worried looks.

He told the reactions of the two brothers, almost every detail.

"Those brothers don't know what to do!" A straightforward soldier broke the silence first, and said with an angry face on his face.

"General Xu is for the benefit of everyone, how can they be so unappreciative!" The other soldier chimed in, his tone filled with indignation.

However, there were also some soldiers who showed understanding. "Maybe they have their own considerations." An older soldier said in deep thought.

Xu Lei glanced at him gratefully and nodded slightly.

In this atmosphere, some soldiers are emotional, while others remain calm and think. The entire barracks seemed to be enveloped in a tense and complicated mood.

"Forget it, General Ben can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, let's think about how to meet the enemy."

Then, Xu Lei sent someone to the front to check, because according to the itinerary, Xi Yu should have come a long time ago, why hasn't he come yet? Is there something wrong with this?

As night fell, a bonfire lit up the camp and lit up the surroundings.

On the other side, Cao Pi was still kneeling in front of Sima Yi, seemingly pious and persistent.

"Gong Cao, you've been kneeling for a long time, let's get up and have some food first." A soldier carried his meal and cautiously walked up to Cao Pi's side.

Cao Pi shook his head, and said in a firm voice: "I want to show my sincerity to Mr. Sima. ”

"Gong Cao, your mind, I believe Mr. Sima has understood, we still have a lot of things to do."

Cao Pi stood up, took the food from the soldier's hand, and ate it slowly.

The night breeze is cool and blows on people's faces.

In the middle of the night, Cao Pi didn't stay here anymore, after all, the show work was almost the same.

The morning sun shone on the earth, and Xi Yu led the army to continue on the road.

The soldiers were full of energy, talking and laughing, as if they were full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

"My lord, I noticed that someone was secretly watching us." Zhao Yun approached Xi Yu and said softly.

Xi Yu smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, it may be someone sent by Cao Pi." ”

"Shall we do something about it?" Zhao Yun asked.

Xi Yu shook his head, "It's okay, let them scout." We can deliberately leave some flaws. ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Xi Yu's eyes, and he knew that war was not only a contest of force, but also a duel of wisdom.

The army marched on the official road in the early morning, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and the scenery was picturesque.

The morning breeze whipped the flags and made the sound of hunting. The soldiers' steps were neat and powerful, showing that they were well trained.

Xi Yu stared into the distance, thinking about the next strategy in his heart. He believed that with careful planning, he could defeat the enemy.

On this day, they came to a small village. There was silence in the village, and most of the houses were empty.

Xi Yu looked at the devastated village and asked Zhao Yun with a heavy heart: "How long will it take for us to reach Luoyang?" ”

Zhao Yun looked around, estimated the distance, and replied, "There are about three days or so left." ”

Xi Yu frowned slightly.

"Let's find out, where have all the villagers gone here?"

So Zhao Yun asked a few soldiers to hurry up and investigate.

Soon a few soldiers returned, saying that there were only a few old people in the village, still living, and that most of them had left or even died.

Because there have been wars here before, many people have lost their lives.

"I see." Zhao Yun sighed.

Similarly, Xi Yu's mood is also very heavy.

Xi Yu stared into the distance, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must end this war as soon as possible so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Again, the war he started was in the hope that there would be no more wars in the future.

In the village, a few old trees stand alone, as if telling of the prosperity of the past.

The wind blows and the leaves rustle, adding to the bleakness.

At this moment, a few old men who were in their last years slowly walked out.

Their clothes were tattered and covered with dust, as if the traces of time had been deeply imprinted on them.

An old man with gray hair said in a trembling voice: "You who fight bring nothing but destruction and suffering. None of you are good things, you get out of our village quickly. ”

Another old man's eyes revealed a deep disgust: "We hate war, and you are the culprits!" Our village is so shabby, but you are not welcome. ”

There were many soldiers who were not happy, they glared angrily at a few old people, and some even wanted to do it.

Xi Yu stopped them.

"You don't have to do anything, listen to the old man."

The old men had to continue to chatter, and they cried as they talked, because there was an old man whose son had been lost in the war.

Xi Yu and the others listened silently, their hearts full of helplessness and guilt.

It wasn't until the old men finally stopped talking that Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm.

"Old man, we don't want to see war happen, but there are things that have to be done. We hope to bring peace to everyone. ”

However, the faces of the old people are still full of distrust.

"And the war we're going to start this time is different from the war you've experienced here before."

Xi Yu tried to calm himself as much as possible.

Gradually, his words calmed down a few old men a little.

But Xi Yu found that several old people didn't know anything about the world's major events, and they didn't even know who they were or who Cao Pi was.

Xi Yu looked at the old people helplessly, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. He tried to explain to them what he was here for, but the old people just looked at him with hatred.

"Old man, we're not the bad guys you think we're like." Xi Yu said softly.

"You are all the same, and all you bring is war." An old man said indignantly.

The old men, who had calmed down, became irritable again.

Xi Yu sighed.

"I know you hate war, but our purpose is to restore peace to the world, because I hate war myself."

"Do you mean to trade more people's lives for peace?" Another old man asked.

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, he knew that it was difficult to change the old people's views for a while.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves. Xi Yu looked at the fallen leaves flying in the sky, and sighed in his heart, he knew that it was not easy to make these old people understand their ideals.

Zhou Yu said: "King, let's go quickly." ”

Many people also hope that Xi Yu will leave quickly, and they can't communicate with these people at all.

Xi Yu had no choice but to leave, and after they all talked for a long time, many soldiers began to talk about it, these people really didn't know how to lift.

"You can't say that about them. After all, they have lost their loved ones, and I can understand this feeling. ”

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a shrill cry.

Everyone looked in amazement and saw that it was a soldier crying, and his cry was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate people's hearts.

Xi Yu frowned, walked over to the soldier, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Why so sad? ”

The soldier looked up, tears blurring his eyes.

"My lord, the words of the old people remind me of my past. My hometown has also been ravaged by war, and many of my relatives have lost their lives in the war......"

His voice choked and he couldn't continue.

Xi Yu's heart was sour, and he patted the soldier's shoulder.

"We all feel the pain of war. But we must firmly believe that our efforts are to prevent more people from experiencing such suffering. ”

The soldier wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded firmly.

That night, Xi Yu led everyone to set up camp on an open field. Bonfires jumped in the night, lighting up the surroundings.

The soldiers sat around, their hearts full of anticipation for their imminent arrival in Luoyang.

And now it's almost time to be stung, so the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and my heart is also warm.

Xi Yu looked at everyone, smiled and said, "Tonight, I'll tell you a story." I wonder if everyone would like to hear it? ”

What? The king tells a story, which is really unwanted, and many people feel very honored, how can they not want to listen to it?

"We do, we do."

"It's a great honor for us to be able to listen to the king's story."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers smiled excitedly and desperately moved closer to Xi Yu.

Zhou Yu stood up and said loudly: "Everyone must obey the order and don't crowd." ”

At this time, a breeze blew, bringing a little coolness.

After everyone sat down again, Xi Yu began to tell the story.

"Don't be so happy, the story I'm telling is actually a tragedy."

Xi Yu saw everyone's excitement and immediately reminded them.

Zhao Yun said: "King, no matter what story you tell, we will listen."

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu believe that Xi Yu must have a deep meaning in doing this.

It can't be just a good story.

The sound of the drama sounded clearly in the silent night, as if with a kind of magic that attracted everyone's attention.

What Xi Yu wants to tell is the story of Wuhu Chaohua, which is a past that later Han people are reluctant to mention.

After all, the scene was so tragic that there was even a phenomenon of cannibalism, and the Han people were not regarded as adults.

A burst of grief swelled in Xi Yu's heart, and he knew the cruelty of this history.

But he also understands that when he travels to this era, he is burdened with the mission of changing history.

He was secretly determined that such a tragedy would never happen again.

However, he can't say what he thinks directly, he has to use stories to provoke everyone's thoughts.

Under the flickering firelight, Xi Yu's voice was low and powerful, telling the tragic history.

The soldiers listened quietly, shocked, angry expressions on their faces.

Hatred for the Hu people ignited in their hearts.

Because he knows his storytelling skills, Xi Yu is extremely sensational in the process of telling.

He noticed the reaction of the soldiers and knew that his account had been a particular success.

At the climax of the story, he stopped and looked at the solemn faces around him.

At this time, a soldier asked: "King, what is the story of this place?" And when did it happen? ”

That's exactly what a lot of people are asking.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and looked around.

"It's a distant place, a history that we all hope will never be repeated."

There was a hint of heaviness in his voice.

Then he asked, "Have you noticed that the story I'm telling you feels very familiar with?" ”

Many of the soldiers nodded, and they did feel a sense of déjà vu.

"I tell you the truth, if it weren't for me, this history would have happened to your children and grandchildren." These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made many people present feel very shocked.

"Do you think I'm arrogant?" Xi Yu hurriedly asked, and then looked around at everyone.

This sentence is like a torture of the soul.

"No, King, we trust you to change all that." Zhao Yun said immediately.

Many soldiers echoed the words, it would be true, if others said this, they might really think it was arrogant, but Xi Yu did have the ability to change all this.

Xi Yu said: "What I tell you is practical, let me tell you this, I have the ability to predict the future." If the Cao family gains the country, the country will eventually fall into the hands of Sima Yi, and then this history will also lead to the story I just told. ”

After these words were spoken, the scene became very quiet again.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and they believed Xi Yu's words.

Because Xi Yu can say a lot of miracles.

No wonder Xi Yu seems to be different from others.

Maybe he really has some superpowers.

Zhou Yu took the lead and shouted: "The king is given by God to save everyone, and these people are blessed." ”

So, many people cheered, and Xi Yu remembered the words of those old people today, so he decided to tell such a story, so as to sow a seed of peace in the hearts of the soldiers.

Of course, once Xi Yu captures the country, what it will look like in the future is something he can't control.

Xi Yu is well aware of the laws of history.

He understood that when a dynasty was first established, it often learned from the experience of previous dynasties, and the king was willing to recuperate with his people.

As a result, the country will present a prosperous and prosperous scene.

However, after a few generations, the king's children and grandchildren began to enjoy the success, and gradually lost the fighting spirit of their ancestors.

After a few more generations, they were bewitched by the decay of life and began to pursue pleasure and luxury, and the country gradually declined, never reaching the peak of prosperity again, until it perished.

Thinking of this, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and helplessness in his heart. He knew that the history of mankind was always repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

And all he has to do is do his best to change all that.

But he can only change himself, how much can he change for future generations?

When he really got the country, if his descendants also repeat this historical law, what can he do?

He suddenly realized that he had a lot to worry about, and perhaps, just paying attention to the things in front of him was enough.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's get some rest. We're going to get back on the road tomorrow. ”

When everyone was returning to the camp, Xi Yu suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with a soldier walking, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Back to the king, the small ones have some numb feet, and they don't get in the way."

However, Xi Yu sensed that he was lying, so he said, "I hope you will tell me the truth." ”

Everyone's eyes were on this side.

The soldier immediately blushed, and had no choice but to tell the truth, it turned out that his shoes had worn a big hole, and it had been a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable walking.

"In that case, why not change your shoes"?

But he lowered his head, after all, he was shy in his pocket, so he didn't change it.

And Xi Yu immediately knew his embarrassment.

So, he called Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu over. (End of chapter)
