Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1211 Who can tell right from wrong

Although Ma Chao was yelling for revenge, everyone obviously hadn't recovered from the incident, and there were no good proposals for a while, so they left for the time being, and went back to their small team to take out one After a unified opinion, it is convenient to sit down and discuss together.

Therefore, all the tribes in Xiliang chanted some slogans, such as Han Sui who led the destiny of Xiliang, the person who realized Xiliang's dreams and ideals, and the great forerunner who guided the way, saying that apart from Han Sui, Xiliang People don’t need anyone, Xiliang only knows Han Sui, only supports the great Comrade Han Sui, always supports and loves Comrade Han Sui...

   Anyway, that's pretty much what it means.

The tribes of Xiliang are basically the same as Ma Chao, thinking that Han Sui is more fierce than good, and basically cool, so the best gift for a dead person is to keep adding false names to the dead person's head, and then quietly put him to death. Take the property left in your hand.

  The tribes of Xiliang thought so, and Ma Chao naturally did the same. Ma Chao found Pound immediately.

   Pound and Ma Chao are basically front and rear feet.

  Pound was a little earlier, but before Pound could say anything, the traces of Ma Chao and his party were discovered, and all the Xiliang tribes focused on Ma Chao, and Pound was naturally forgotten.

In the minds of the leaders of the various tribes in Xiliang, Ma Chao and Han Sui were together, and Ma Chao knew the information that Pound knew, and as a figure at the command level, Ma Chao should even know some things that Pound didn't know. So, why bother to ask repeatedly?

   "Ling Ming..." Ma Chao sat beside Pound, turned his head to stare at Pound's expression, and said, "During the previous battle, it was so chaotic, and I didn't have time to go back to the camp to take care of him... I don't know if Ling Ming saw Brother Tie..."

Pang De stared at the ground, shook his head slowly and said: "...there was a great chaos in the camp, and I was awakened in a coma... The fire was everywhere, the soldiers were chaotic, and there was no system... Fortunately, I was able to rush to fight for the road. out, but never saw Commander Tie Shao..."

  People always subconsciously avoid some troubles, especially when they realize that they are troublesome things.

At the beginning, Pound also thought about telling the truth about his experience in the Feiqian camp, but then firstly, the Xiliang generals did not ask, secondly, Ma Chao came back, and thirdly, the follow-up Han After the armor incident happened again and again, Pound seemed to have noticed something weird, but it was hard to say, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he simply concealed his experience of being captured. down.

Ma Chao frowned slightly. He and Pound were already very familiar with each other, and they were considered good friends. Ma Chao was naturally aware of Pound's habits. When he saw Pound, he did not dare to look at him. With some not-so-good guesses...

   "Ling Ming!" Ma Chao suddenly grabbed Pound's arm, and confirmed again, "Are you sure you haven't seen Brother Tie?!"

   Pang De raised his head, looked at Ma Chao, and said, "I really didn't see it."

  Ma Chao stared at Pound for a moment, let go of his hand, lowered his head, and said, "I'm sorry... Ling Ming, it's just..." On this question, Ma Chao noticed that Pound's eyes were very straight, without any evasion. Well, maybe the expression on Pound's face just now was that he felt a little guilty for not being able to save Ma Tie...

  Under the circumstances at the time, Ma Chao himself was unable to rescue Ma Tie, so it was impossible to blame Pound for not rescuing him.

  The two were silent for a moment.

   "A certain person wants to go back to Jincheng..." Ma Chao broke the silence and said, "Will Ling Ming help a certain person?"

   "Jincheng?" Pang De looked at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao nodded and said: "Uncle passed away, this revenge is not avenged, I am ashamed of my uncle's care and support, and all the leaders have their own thoughts, hesitation, you and I are weak, so we can only go back to Jincheng, call uncle's old department, Only then can we take revenge."

   Pound hesitated for a moment and said: "Young Commander, Yanming is currently defending Jincheng..."

Ma Chao looked at the ground and said slowly: "Ling Ming, you know that although my uncle has a son and is weak, he entrusts most of the military affairs to Yan Yanming, but... my uncle left in a hurry and did not leave behind Just a few words, if you and I don't go back to help Brother Wang..."

  Han Wang.

  Son of Han Sui.

I don't know from time to time because Han Sui was in exile during that period of time, or because Han Wang's mother was not a Qiang girl, so she was born weak and sick. Next was a daughter, so Yan Xing, the son-in-law, had to lead the army.

   Pound understood what Ma Chao meant. From a certain point of view, Ma Chao's statement is not wrong. Although Yan Xing is Han Sui's son-in-law, he is still a member of the Yan family after all. Once Han Sui dies, Han Wang will not be able to inherit the family business, so Yan Xing will naturally take care of him There is no doubt about it, and from the customs of the Han Dynasty, it is not a big problem for Yan Xing to inherit Han Sui's family business. If the industry is adopted by him, then even members of Han Sui's family will probably agree.

   Ma Chao is very familiar with Pound, but Pound is also familiar with Ma Chao. Although there was nothing wrong with what Ma Chao said, a trace of doubt arose in Pang De's heart...

   "So, what do you mean by less commander?" Pound asked.

   Ma Chao said: "General Chenggong and the Xiliang commanders are here. You and I return to Jincheng quickly to stabilize the situation for Brother Wang, and then bring Brother Yanming back together to fight the little thief Zhengxi!"

  Pound pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

   Ma Chao was overjoyed, patted Pang De on the shoulder, and said: "Ling Ming clean up, you and I will leave immediately!" After speaking, Ma Chao left first.

Pound returned to his tent silently. He had just taken off the armor from the wooden frame, but his heart was moved, and then he had just taken two steps outside, but stopped, raised his head and thought about something, and finally took a long With a sigh, he turned around and took the weapon again, opened the curtain of the tent, and walked out.

  Outside the tent, Ma Chao and several Qiang cavalry were already waiting in the distance. When he saw Pang De come out, he waved his hand.

  Pound nodded, fastened the harness, put the armor and weapons on the horse's back, then got on the horse, and followed Ma Chao to the west...

  ………………

   Shangyu City.

  Shangyu is not big, it is just a county under Tianshui County, formerly known as Qingshui County. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Qingshui was the residence of Pirong and Mianzhurong. During the time of King Xiao of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Feizi, the leader of the tribe surnamed Ying, was made a vassal of the royal family because of his meritorious service in raising horses.

  Subsequently, due to the eastward movement of politics, culture and economy, Shangbei did not get any tilt, not to mention tearing down the original old city wall and then rebuilding and expanding it. It has been used like this until now.

  The leaked blue bricks on the city wall are speckled, and some battlements have collapsed and have not been repaired in time, exposing the loess that originally belonged to the inside of the wall.

Since the reign of Emperor Han Ling and the Qiang Rebellion in Shangyu, there has been no county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. The Zhao family of Tianshui has always been in charge. Then he held the book ribbon and greeted him outside the city.

   Fei Qian smiled, and didn't care about Zhao Ang's small thoughts, so he took the book ribbon, and then handed it back to Zhao Ang.

  Zhao Ang was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged cattle, sheep, wine and other supplies to pay the army without mentioning it.

   It is completely meaningless for Fei Qian to go to an enclave like Bei. There are too many garrisons, one of them is poor and the other is small, and they can't use it at all. If there is no garrison, what's the point of taking the title?

Therefore, it is better to be a favor, and turn around in your hand like this, which is equivalent to making a footnote to Zhao Ang. From then on, Zhao Ang can get rid of the word "fake" on his head, and become the real Shanggui in a grandiose manner. magistrate.

  As long as Zheng Xifeiqian does not fall, then Zhao Ang will have an extra amulet, which is more or less regarded as Feiqian's protégé, which probably means something like this.

   With fresh beef wine, Fei Qian naturally didn't have to eat horse meat anymore, so in the big tent, someone got the charcoal from the stove, and used some iron wire to make iron skewers, and then they could barbecue.

   Grilled food has been eaten since ancient times, but the way of grilling has been changing all the time.

  The appearance of the word "烧" vividly depicts the delicacy of barbecue, which is to take meat and roast it on the fire, and "popular" means that the article of people is like barbecue, which makes people eat one after another and can't stop!

   "If you have a rabbit head, burn it with a cannon. A gentleman has wine, and offer it at your discretion." People in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods already knew that roasted hares are outdated, and they must be served with wine to taste.

In the Han Dynasty, a rectangular charcoal-fired oven similar to the roast beef and mutton skewers of later generations appeared, also known as "Shanglin oven". The iron one is relatively larger, and there are also ceramic ones, which are more It is smaller, and two handles are added on the left and right sides for easy carrying.

Therefore, at present, Fei Qian just used iron wire instead of bamboo and wooden sticks, and then added some condiments to marinate the mutton. However, eating meat was still a relatively high-level matter in the Han Dynasty, and ordinary people could not eat as much as they wanted. Meat is more or less a good treat.

  Fei Qian picked up an iron stick and looked at the mutton skewered on the iron stick. The original white mutton fat was roasted into golden yellow, slightly charred at the edges, exuding an attractive oily aroma, two pieces were torn off with the teeth, and the fragrant oil was mixed with the delicate mutton fibers between the teeth to form a Mouthwatering umami taste.

Fei Qian devoured the meat, and then ate up the mutton on an iron stick in a few mouthfuls, casually threw the iron stick into the wooden plate, grabbed another one, and ate it while facing Meng Shu said: "Forgiveness, feel free, feel free, don't be polite."

After two or three rounds of eating, accompanied by large and small mutton, and drinking a few bowls of water and wine, Fei Qian slowed down, picked up the wine bowl, and said to Meng Shu: "Kuan Zhi went out to help someone, I am very grateful, and I am better than drinking it!"

  Meng Shu raised the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, then put down the wine bowl, pondered for a while, and said straight to the point: "I heard that the general has the 'Old Qin Order', can you take a look?"

  Fei Qian took out the old Qin order from his bosom, and asked his personal guards to pass it to Meng Shu for viewing.

  Meng Shu wiped his robe vigorously with his hands, then took the old Qin Ling carefully, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

  Fei Qian ate the mutton skewers slowly, while watching the unconcealable change of expression on Meng Shu's face, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"In the old Jin Dynasty, Li Ji was consecrated to the public and gave birth to Xi Qi. Later, Li Ji robbed the crown prince, and the crown prince was hanged in Xincheng. Ji Sui rebuked Chong'er, and Chong'er fled. With the help of Mu Gong, he finally became the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom for a hundred years." Fei Qian said slowly. He said, "Now we know that those who escape live and those who hang die. However, the pre-Qin events seem so similar. If it was at that time, who was right and who was wrong?"

Jin Xiangong was Li Ji's secret trick and framed the crown prince Shen Sheng, while in the state of Qin Zhao Gao turned the deer into a horse and gave the crown prince Fusu to death. Although the ages are different, they are actually very similar, except that Jin Xiangong has a stronger one. His son Chong'er, and the environment in the Spring and Autumn Period was not as bad as Qin Mo's, so Chong'er became the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Prince Shensheng is a tragic character, a victim of Li Ji's plot and tricks, and also a victim of his beliefs. He already knows who the culprit is, but he is unwilling to resist for the sake of the so-called righteousness. He could have survived by fleeing. But he committed suicide to prove his innocence.

   Fusu is the same.

Most of these tragic characters can only be found in a social environment that values ​​filial piety, kindness and benevolence. They regard the moral principles they believe in as more important than their lives, and would rather die with injustice than let their actions Detrimental to the object of loyalty and filial piety. From their standpoint, it is absolutely impossible to think of repaying evil with an eye for an eye, and the only thing left is to sacrifice oneself to perfect others.

This kind of behavior is certainly valuable, but there is a question of whether the sacrifice it made is worth it. In fact, they can all have better choices, which can completely avoid being framed and make the conspirators get what they deserve. punishment, and used it to show his loyalty to his father.

  Meng Shu returned the old Qin order, heaved a long sigh, and remained silent. Strictly speaking, Montessori was the same at that time, and even the Great Wall Corps was a victim of this thinking.

"The one who destroyed Qin was not the Han, but the generation of Zhao and Hu. If there were no Chen and Wu revolts, there would have been Chu and Zhao's rebellion. It is not the fault of the Meng family! The Meng family has repaid their kindness for more than 400 years in the mountains and forests. What's more!" Fei Qian looked at Meng Shu and continued, "What's more, the world is changing, and the past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be pursued. Today's troubled times are gradually rising, and evil and evil are in power. Those who are angry and fight should do something, all the people are in mourning, help them save them, save the generals of the world, and establish a meritorious deed for the ages, we will naturally do my part. I don’t know if you take it for granted?”

Different people naturally have to use different methods, like unlocking a key, using the wrong key is basically useless, and for Montessori, it is naturally different from other people, and it is necessary for Fei Qian to explain such sage principles, This kind of high-level concept can untie the original knot, break the shackles left by the ancestors of the Meng family, and give them a stronger and better reason and direction for the future, so that the Meng family and the old Qin they represent The bereaved really joined in.

  That's why Fei Qian said that there was no life-and-death relationship between Qin and Han. It was Qin Chao himself, Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and others who caused Qin Chao to perish.

  Of course, the appearance of Meng Shu and others actually represented a sign and change in the thinking trend of the Meng clan, and Fei Qian's words were just a boost. So when Fei Qian finished speaking, Meng Shu lowered his head, thought for a moment, then left the table and said: "The general's words are like Huang Zhong Dalu, shaking the dust and dust, cleaning the ears and clearing the heart. Please be taught. , I would like to join the general's command, fight on the battlefield, and make great achievements."

   Fei Qian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and then encouraged Mengshu again, while ordering a banquet. For Fei Qian, who is deeply rooted in the rules of the workplace, the banquet is naturally held to celebrate the previous military exploits, and the second is to allow Meng Shu to better integrate into the team. Furthermore, Fei Qian also needs to use Meng Shu to show an attitude , naturally it is better to have a lively one.

  At this moment, a soldier suddenly came forward to report that Guanzhong sent a messenger and presented a bamboo slip sealed with wax paint. Fei Qian's expression remained unchanged, but his heart couldn't help but jump...
