Xiakou, above the mountains of Snake Mountain.

This was Liu Chan's second night in a remote mountain village.

He was able to sleep peacefully last night, but today's whole person's expression has become much more solemn, he let out a long breath and leaned back on the pillow.

He crossed Erlang's legs, as if he was in some kind of contemplation.

After pondering for a while, he only felt sleepy and dizzy, and in order to avoid insomnia, he forced himself to stop thinking nonsense, get rid of the distractions in his head, and then fall asleep!

It's just that the more I think about it, the more I fail to fall asleep, and I am shallow and confused, and time is the same... Before I knew it, when I opened my eyes again, it was still the middle of the night, and only a few hours had passed.

Unable to sleep any longer, Liu Chan put on his clothes and sat up, and the surroundings were quiet, only the faint sound of the wind blowing.

In the past two days, he has seen too many children like "Yu Feng", these children are his age, but their suffering is so similar.

Compared to them...

Liu Chan is simply noble to the sky, and these children are suffering to the mud.

In fact, these have nothing to do with Liu Chan, and this is not caused by Liu Chan, "born in Rome" and "born mules and horses" are destined by God, and no one can change them.

But, I don't know why, Liu Chan actually "empathizes" with them, and he even faintly feels that he was playful, useless, and lazy... What a great sin!

In the mountains, where do these hard-working children have the opportunity to study and study? Where are the handmaidens and servants serving? Where can I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas?

Hehe, don't say it's the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, what they think about is how to have a bite to eat and how to live!

Liu Chan was terrified to see a beam of light in front of him, and he stretched out his hand as if to grab it.

I grabbed it, but let it slip through my fingertips.

When the righteous mind was floating, there was a sudden sound of footsteps beside him, followed by Guan Lin's voice, "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I am in a daze here?" ”

Liu Chan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he noticed that it was Guan Lin, but he didn't have time to speak, but he was the first to sigh "sigh".

Guan Lin's voice groaned again. "When you came, it wasn't like this, why are you so compassionate now!"

"I didn't feel sorry for anything... Compassion for someone..."Liu Chan waved his hand again and again, he looked hard-mouthed, but it was not as hard as three breaths, and his tone became hesitant: "In this mountain village... In this mountain village..."

Guan Lin put down a few pomegranates, then stuffed them into his mouth, and then moved a bamboo stool, he sat on the bamboo stool, looked at Liu Chan, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Don't stop, continue." ”

Liu Chan gritted his teeth, and he didn't know if he was organizing the language, or if he didn't know where to start.

After a long time, he said, "Fourth Brother Guan? Do you remember, these children in the mountain villages? ”

"You're talking about fish?"

"It's not just him." Liu Chan shook his head, and then said, "That sister who is as old as me, she went to the mountains early in the morning to collect firewood, and then sold firewood at the entrance of the village, I asked her... Why did you ask her to sell firewood? Is there no one at home? Guess what she said? ”

"What?"

"He said... My father and mother are sick, my brother is also sick, Weng Weng is tired, if she doesn't pick up firewood to sell, the whole family will have nothing to eat! I'm going to starve to death, she cried as she spoke..."

This...

After Liu Chan said this, Guan Lin inexplicably thought of Xiahou Juan.

This is why her adoptive father Xiahou Yuan is a general, and Xiahou Juan still has to collect firewood.

is because when he was a child, Xiahou's family was so poor, so poor that his brother's family starved to death, and entrusted his daughter to Xiahou Yuan, so poor... In order to feed Xiahou Juan, Xiahou Yuan did not hesitate to starve his eldest son to death; is so poor that he has to apologize for Cao Cao's crimes, and he also has to rely on Cao Song's big tree! Let the whole family live!

But... In this world, not every poor person has such a rich relative as Cao Song.

It's still the same sentence - the hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is looking for the miserable!

Liu Chan was still opening his mouth: "And yesterday morning, I went to the mountain spring to wash my face, but I saw two children each carrying a basket of herbs, resting in the forest, the elder brother got up first, but the younger brother was still asleep, probably to catch the morning market, the elder brother patted the younger brother's cheek to wake him up, and then the two supported each other, carrying the heavy herbs to the market... I looked at their age, I was afraid that they were only six or seven years old, and only later did I know that they no longer have relatives..."

This...

Are you only six or seven years old?

Stop...

The story told by Liu Chan really touched Guan Lin a little.

However, it is obvious that Liu Chan is more touched, and what these children are experiencing makes Liu Chan can't help but examine his past.

This is the most vivid class that no Confucian can give.

Liu Chan's voice continued, "Besides, the fish, let's live in his house, he and his mother-in-law have been bitter enough, but the mother-in-law still made a pot of vegetables and steamed cakes for me to eat." ”

"Actually, this dish is not delicious at all, but even so, when I saw the scooping vegetables, Yu Feng only scooped a mouthful of vegetable soup for himself, and he wanted to give more dishes to us, and then he squatted in the corner, dipped the cake in the soup and ate, but the smile on his face could not be hidden, like even so, it was a great delicacy for him... And my mother-in-law, she didn't take the cake or eat the vegetables, but I didn't know where to find a piece of moldy vegetable cake... Can you eat that? Can... But she kept laughing, laughing all the time. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Chan was on the verge of tears, but he continued, "And... And at noon today, Uncle Zilong sent a big pot of vegetables for the children in the village to eat, but I saw... Yes... After scooping up the food, three children ran back without eating a bite, and I secretly followed them back. In their family, they are either their younger brothers, or their sick fathers and mothers, or... Or..."

At this time, Liu Chan's tears had already welled up, and the sobbing between his noses made him unable to continue to speak.

This... It's just a bite of rice!

This... It's just the most modest of meals!

This, this meal... Even, in Liu Chan's opinion, if it was brought to General Zuo's room, he would definitely be quite disgusted, and then he wouldn't eat a bite.

Finally, as this burst of tears passed, Liu Chan gritted his teeth, and then finished speaking, "Or, they will put it away and wait for the family to come back and eat together... This small bowl of rice may be their ration for three or even five days! ”

"And... There is also the elder brother who carries his infant sister to receive the meal, and... There was also a nine-year-old boy who went down to the field with his father, and... That skillful movement, let me see... I only feel distressed when I see it! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Chan once again collapsed emotionally, and the unstoppable tears flowed down like a spring.

The children of poor families made him feel distressed!

Can... Who doesn't feel distressed?

At this time, Guan Lin did not comfort Liu Chan, what he Liu Chan himself realized was much stronger than what he had to guide and explain.

Liu Chan is like a chatter tonight.

Maybe in the past twelve years, all his emotions will explode on this night, "Some of the children in these mountain villages are older than me, some are younger than me, but no matter how big or small, whether it is strength, perseverance, or hardship, I can't compare to them..."

"When I was a child, Master Zhuge asked me to recite, 'The heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins...' At that time, I didn't understand, I just felt that they didn't know me, and I didn't know them, but now, I seem to suddenly understand..."

"Oh!" Guan Lin asked solemnly, "Tell me—"

Liu Chan paused for a moment, "Actually, Master Zhuge has said it a hundred times, but what I have never understood is that why God wants to land a great task on a person, he must first make his heart painful, make his muscles and bones tired, make him suffer from hunger, make him suffer from poverty, and make his heart unsatisfactory... Today, it seems, I get it all because... For example, these children in the mountains, they are such an environment, and it is also such an environment, so that they can cultivate... Ten times more determined than me, so that you can become a great tool! Compared to them, I... I'm so unbearable! ”

"Okay—"

This voice was not shouted by Guan Lin in his heart, but Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's thoughtfulness in guarding Adou, coupled with the lessons of the previous car, naturally, Liu Chan walked out of the house late at night, and Zhao Yun immediately chased after him and silently followed behind him.

Therefore, the dialogue between Guan Lin and Liu Chan, including the "great truth" that Liu Chan chanted as if he suddenly opened his mind, Zhao Yun listened to all of them.

- "Awesome! That's amazing!'

In addition to being amazed at the speed at which Liu Chan's mind was growing so amazingly, Zhao Yun was amazed;

I was also amazed by Guan Lin's incredible but effective teachings.

- "This mountain village is so right!"

Here, Zhao Yun is still sighing.

Over there, Guan Lin had already begun to ask Liu Chan earnestly.

"So, what are you trying to express?"

Liu Chan immediately replied: "In the past, Huang Hao always took me to play, and there was nothing in my eyes except for play, but now, I understand, if there is no my father, then I am no different from these children, and even, even if the three of me are tied together, they can't compare to them!" ”

"Not really." Guan Lin rubbed his stomach and said: "At least, the three of them are tied together, and they are not as heavy as you, and you are still very powerful in terms of weight!" ”

Guan Lin was joking, so as to ease Liu Chan's mood.

But now Liu Chan is in a heavy mood, where can he smile.

That's when ...

Suddenly a voice came from not far away, "Wu'er, Wu'er-"

This voice attracted Guan Lin's idea and Liu Chan's attention, and the two quickly walked a few steps over there.

saw an old dragon bell Weng Weng looking for his baby in the mountains and forests on crutches.

"So late? Hasn't his doll come back yet? Liu Chan couldn't help but ask.

"What doll is not doll, the old man is this age, his son... You have to call your uncle! Guan Lin reminded him appropriately.

"My son... Where the hell are you, my son? ”

The old man's voice came again, like a lonely ghost in the middle of the night.

Guan Lin and Liu Chan were a little scared, but they were even more curious, the two were about to get closer, but they were pulled by a pair of big hands, and the two turned back, it was Zhao Yun.

"Uncle Zilong?"

Liu Chan opened his mouth first.

Zhao Yun signaled to Guan Lin, and then he pointed at the old man and said lightly: "I have already asked in advance, this old man lost his son more than thirty years ago, and since then, he has been looking for it in the mountains over and over again every night?" ”

"And what about his son?"

"I heard that I went to be a soldier, and at that time... Many children in the mountains want to make meritorious contributions and become officials... So he went to join the army. Zhao Yun said in detail, "But the battlefield is ruthless, how can you be so good as an official?" At that time, the local army fought with the Yellow Turban Army... Fighting one defeat after another, many officers and soldiers took people to the village to kill the people, cut off the heads and take the merits..."

"This old man's son is a small boss, he reported their general, who would have thought... He was tied up and gagged and killed! Rather... In order to calm the situation, since then, those officers and soldiers have never come to this village to kill villagers and take meritorious deeds. ”

"And then?" Liu Chan's eyes widened, "Just... Is there no one to seek justice for him? ”

"Justice? Hehe..."Zhao Yun smiled, "In this chaotic era where etiquette and music are collapsing, how can there be justice?" Who cares if ordinary people live or die? To be able to spare this village, it has been... It's already a blessing..."

"So..."Liu Chan's eyes widened at this moment, he looked at Zhao Yun and then at Guan Lin.

Fortunately...

The old man's voice groaned again, "Wu'er, are you back?" My son... Dad lit the lamp for you, and you followed the lamp back! ”

The voice became more and more sad, which also made Liu Chan more and more excited. "So... There will be no justice? Person... Just died in vain? Uneven... Is there such an injustice in this world? ”

"Perhaps..."Guan Lin finally spoke, "Maybe this is the meaning of your father, my father, our third uncle, Zhuge Military Division, General Zilong, and that group of people of faith, they gather together, right?" ”

"What they want to restore is not necessarily the name of the Han family, but the peaceful and prosperous era in the hearts of the people, ending the war, living and working in peace and contentment, and political harmony!"

With Guan Lin's words...

Liu Chan was stunned.

Guan Lin's words seemed to carry a kind of magic power, which made Liu Chan reverie.

This is the first time Liu Chan has felt what his father is doing so closely!

This is also the first time that he has a heartfelt and fanatical identification with his father, Master Zhuge and all the people who are doing this.

At this moment, Liu Chan's hand couldn't help but clench, and he couldn't help but make a fist.

At this moment, there was a hot blood in his heart, as if it was stirring him... Pulling him, tell him.

——Ending the war, living and working in peace and contentment, and the peaceful and prosperous era of political communication and harmony... Adou, you are also an important creator of it!

There is no moment more than now, which makes Liu Chan feel like a "master".

It turns out that all the happiness in this world is that someone is "carrying the weight" for him;

It turns out that all the suffering in this world is for two words:

- Hope!

The night is getting deeper and darker, but this night, Liu Chan seems to see the light!

…

…

In Pinglu City, west of Fancheng, a banquet is being held in the General's Mansion here, and there are Cao Ren, Zhao Yan, Xu Huang, Yan Ji, as well as a cadre of deputy generals including Yin Department and Niu Gai.

Cao Ren said: "This general was ordered by the Son of Heaven and the King of Wei to crusade against the rebels, and today I am fortunate to be assisted by Mr. Yan, the envoy of Eastern Wu, I am very honored. ”

When Cao Ren said this, he had already mentioned the wine bottle, but Yan Yan's mind was elsewhere, his eyes were always looking out of the door, as if he was eagerly waiting for something, and he forgot about himself, and he didn't hear a word of Cao Ren's words.

Naturally, let alone lift the wine bottle.

This...

Cao Ren was a little embarrassed when he boarded, and all the civil and military generals present were all embarrassed.

In their impressions, this is still the first person who ignores the toast of the "Celestial General".

You know, he is a foreign envoy, according to the etiquette of the envoy, it should not be so!

"Ahem..."Zhao Yan sat beside Yan Yan, and he hurriedly coughed to remind. Ahem, ahem... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

Yan Jian came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Cao Ren toasting him, he immediately understood, and originally planned to mention the wine bottle, but... The thought was still outside, so he picked up the teacup.

"General Cao, I expected that there would be news tonight, so I replaced the wine with tea and saluted General Cao..."

Belch...

How a respect!

Or tea instead of wine.

Watching Yan Jian drink all the tea, among the civil and military forces, the people who reacted quickly had already come back to their senses, and they dared to love... General Cao Ren is playing the piano to the cow!

At this time, Cao Ren was a little dissatisfied, and he didn't drink the wine, so he put the wine down.

With a "bang", the wine buds collided with the table, making a violent sound, and the wine splashed out.

At this moment, the whole room was silent, except for Yan Yan, who still didn't notice this, his eyes stared at the door, as if he wanted to see through the information that was "inevitable" transmitted tonight.

Zhao Yan saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly got up: "Hahahaha..."

He laughed as he walked up to Yan Ji, patted him on the shoulder, pulled his thoughts over, and then opened his mouth: "Mr. Yan, you restless... Actually, it's not, didn't our General Zixiao send someone to investigate overnight according to your request? If there's any news, it'll come back... Why is it so much? This is a banquet, and the military affairs are put aside, and tonight if you don't get drunk and don't go home, how about it? ”

Zhao Yan seemed to be blaming Yan Yan, but in fact, he used "cup bow snake shadow" to explain Yan Yan's behavior, in order to make Cao Ren angry.

The so-called not getting drunk and not returning is even more to give Yan Jian a step down.

It's just that...

"That's not right..."

Yan Ji's words were still about him, he raised his head and looked at the sky, as always, it was still the same sentence, "It's not right..."

As always, I didn't enter the rhythm of this "wine banquet"!

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yan hurriedly asked.

Not to mention, Yan Ji's words really made the whole atmosphere here inexplicably serious.

Yan Jian stared at his eyebrows, and said seriously: "The highest point on the south bank of the Han River is on the opposite bank of Pinglu City, if a reservoir is built, it can only be here, and Guan Yu is bound to start construction in the dead of night in order to conceal it, and the perimeter is heavily protected, if my analysis is good, then... At such a close distance, the news... The scouts should have sent the news back! ”

That's what academics are.

When the scholar Yan Jian put all his thoughts on "the flow of Han water", his eyes could no longer contain anything else.

His whole body will also devote himself to this-

The persistence of the scholars proved correct and productive.

That's when ...

- "Report..."

A voice broke the cold atmosphere here, and a scout rushed into the hall, knelt down on one knee, and quickly reported, "General Yu, it has been ascertained that Guan Yu is digging a reservoir among the mountains on the south bank of Pinglu City, and is digging the waterways of the rivers to this reservoir!" ”

This...

With this report, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Zhao Yan, Yin Agency, Niu Gai, almost everyone here, their eyes widened.

Only Yan Yan seems to be the final conclusion... confirmed his conjecture, and shook his head again and again.

"That's right, that's right..."

"In this way, Guan Yu will be able to divert water to the north bank of the Han River in July and August... That's right, that's what he wanted, that's what he did! ”

With Yan Ji's words, Cao Ren couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart anymore, and he walked down the steps to Yan Ji's side regardless of his identity.

Then he bowed his hand and respectfully bowed to Yan Ji.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a somewhat alarmed and humble sentence:

"Sir, save me—"

…

…

Jiangxia, Anlu City, and Lusu are among the post houses where they are located.

"Boom, boom—"

A sound came out suddenly, a violent sound from the collision of a broadsword and a trident.

Lu Su was changing the bandage, and when he heard this voice, he immediately exhaled "not good", and then ran out the door.

But as soon as I went out, I heard a roar from the front yard.

"Guan Yunchang, the governor of my family is not a place for you to go wild!"

The voice is deep and powerful.

How could Lu Su not hear that it was Lu Meng!

Of course, this is not the point, the point is the sentence that came out of his mouth, "Guan Yunchang-"

Passing through the west side road, as soon as I rushed into the moon gate of the main courtyard, I saw the figures in the courtyard between the second and third gates, and the fight was very lively.

Guan Yu made the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, and Lu Meng made the White Tiger Trident, speaking of... Lu Meng's body method is extremely flexible in his tonnage, and the halberd method is extremely fierce and ruthless, the sharp point is cold, and the roots of the hair are cold...

Guan Yu, who can fight against him, still doesn't seem to be doing his best, but he firmly has the upper hand.

A green dragon knife in one hand, wide open and closed, with ease, the strength of the power is like the scorching sun, as if Lu Meng's flexible, spicy, and ruthless trident... Exposed to the sun, he rushed to kill several times, but he couldn't break out of the range of the Blue Dragon Glaive!

Call... Call...

Lu Meng gasped vigorously.

Guan Yu said with ease, "Guan Mou came here for the death of my son, and asked Lu Dadu for an explanation?" Whoever stands in the way of Guan will have his way to an end—"

As he spoke, Guan Yu Qinglong slashed with his sword, seeing that the powerful blow was about to fall down, Lu Meng knew that this knife was unavoidable and could be blocked... Is it wrestling? Today, who can beat Guan Yu in wrestling?

For a while, the left and right were defeated, and Lu Meng was at a loss...

Fortunately, Lu Su came in time, and he exhaled urgently, "Yun Chang left his hand-"

blurted out these words, and he instinctively added, "Ziming stop!" ”

Lu Meng was already a god to Lu Su's words, and he simply didn't block them when he heard this, but when these words reached Guan Yu's ears, his Danfeng eyes suddenly condensed.

The Qinglong Knife, which was wrapped in majestic qi waves, turned around, and actually slashed towards Lu Su's side.

"The Grand Governor..."

This sudden scene made Lu Meng exclaim.

Lu Su looked like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, not only did he not retreat, but he also took a step forward to meet Guan Yu's blade, but his hands were behind his back, and there was no timidity in his eyes, but he was blazing-

…
