Chapter 111 Hero
The white head is as new and the cover is as old as before, which refers to the encounter between Zhang Chong and Guan Yu at this time.
Life is like this, some people feel like strangers no matter how long you have been with them, while some people you just got off the bus and met, but you feel like old friends at the first sight. It can be seen that the relationship between people is never about longevity, but whether they are like each other.
Zhang Chong admired Guan Yu in his previous life, not for his extraordinary bravery, but for his golden personality. In history, there were many people who were as brave as Guan Yu, but a few were as loyal and courageous as Guan Yu, and they were determined to revive the Han Dynasty.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the past morality was regarded as new clothes by careerists, but Guan Yu was still the idealist.
For example, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao filled the fields with killings, unleashed troops and massacred officials, slaughtered cities and killed officials. The souls of their victims suffered in the underworld, and their wounds were buried in grass and thorns, but Guan Yu had no trace of them.
For example, Huangfu Song, Sima Yi, etc. brutally killed and surrendered prisoners, built Beijing temples, and showed off their power, but Guan Yu had no one. Even when Lu Bu relied on his bravery to attack the three families, Guan Yu granted him the gift, bowed to the letter and said goodbye, and went to the late lord.
This is what Mencius said. Riches and honors cannot be immoral, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered. This is the most golden character among people.
And what does Guan Yu think of Zhang Chong? In a word, Yu regarded Zhang Chong as a hero.
What is a hero?
Someone said: "If you show off your intelligence, you are called a hero; if you are courageous, you are called a hero."
Others say: "A hero has the ambition to soar into the clouds, the power to swallow up mountains and rivers, the strength of nine states in his belly, and the mind of the whole world! He carries justice on his shoulders, saves the people from water and fire, and saves the people from hanging upside down."
But Guan Yu said that these are not heroes. He has seen Yingjie. They use their family's reputation to criticize the world. They think they are the best in the world and are proud of themselves. But in fact, they are not as interesting as Jin Bing's words.
Guan Yu has also seen Xiongjie. The power of dragging an ox, the courage of a bear, the fierceness of a lion and a tiger. If you think you have the courage to carry a cauldron, you will be a hero in your life. But in fact, they are brave and violent, they are chivalrous and violate the rules, they regard human life as nothing, and they are not heroes.
There are a few others, Guan Yu thinks they are a little heroic, but they are not heroes yet. They do have the ambition to hang a pot to help the world, and they also have the energy to swallow the lake and the sea. They sigh that they can't come out, but what will happen to the people? Self-respecting and selfless, this world will last forever like a long night. But this is not a hero. They talk about the world, but in fact they only care about following the world and benefiting themselves.
So what is a hero. Guan Yu once watched the water of the river cascading down at Longmen. Schools of fish in the big river rush down the water, majestic. But he saw a fish swimming upstream, competing with the mountains and rivers, until it was exhausted and sank to the bottom of the water.
Guan Yu believed that this fish was the hero among the fishes. Just because there were thousands of fish under the fish, but it alone went upstream, it was a hero. I do it knowing that I can't do it, and take the ideal in my heart as the criterion. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go there.
At this moment, Guan Yu felt that Zhang Chong in front of him was the fish and the hero, trying to save the world and defeat it.
Why?
Guan Yu was very knowledgeable. Although he was the son of a farmer, his family was well-off, he could read, and he was taught by famous teachers. After learning martial arts, he went to fight in northern Xinjiang, and then traveled around the world for three years. Guan Yu knew what the world was like.
This is the era of the collapse of rituals and music as mentioned in the Spring and Autumn Annals. The world will be dominated by intelligence rather than virtue and righteousness. This is actually the end of the world.
At this end of the world, heroes should emerge to restore rituals and music, survive the people, and revitalize the country. But Guan Yu thought that he was not a hero, but just a hero.
But when I met Zhang Chong today, he actually found an unprecedented path.
Along the way, Guan Yu was listening to Jin Bing talk about the changes in Jin's wall in the past few months. Although he was silent, his heart was turned upside down.
Because he felt that what Zhang Chong did was the ideal of farmers recorded in "Mencius", "The sage cultivates and eats with the people, and governs after eating." And what Zhang Chong did in Jinshibi was to revive the three generations. The legacy of Ida.
The last time he did this was Wang Mang, but he failed, not because the ideal was unrealistic, but because the king implemented it from top to bottom, which was bound to fail.
Because he relies on his enemies to implement his policies, how can he not fail?
Therefore, Guan Yu is more optimistic about Zhang Chong, because he started from the grass, and for him, the world is white and he can do whatever he wants. As long as he can continue to grow with his ideals, one day his ideals will become a reality.
But Guan Yu also believed that this revival of the well-field system would ultimately fail, just as the ancient well-field system collapsed. But in this process, a generation of Guizhou leaders will be saved. If it can survive for one generation, it is actually worth EMI.
Guan Yu never expected that he just came to Tugu County to see Mount Tai and eat jujubes, and then he would meet a true hero. As expected, who could tell the fate of life.
Guan Yu wanted to follow Zhang Chong, but he couldn't open his mouth. Just when he was thinking about whether he should familiarize himself with the enemy on the grounds that he was familiar with it first, and then look for opportunities to join the group later, he heard a sentence.
"Yunchang, what do you think of me?"
What? Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this. What do you think?
Seeing Guan Yu in a daze, Zhang Chong felt that Guan Yu was refusing with silence, and felt dark in his heart, but he comforted himself: Yes, Mr. Guan is Mr. Guan after all, and he will not agree so easily. However, Zhang Chong secretly thought that even if water sharpens his skills, he would still grind Guan Yu into a needle.
But when Zhang Chong was about to persevere and impress Guan Yu with his perseverance, he heard this sentence:
"If you don't give up, I am willing to create great achievements with you."
I saw Guan Yu standing up, kneeling on the ground, and saying this to Zhang Chong. Zhang Chongda stood up, took two steps at a time, rushed to Guan Yu, and supported Guan Yu's majestic body with all his strength. He didn't say a word, but kept nodding.
Then Zhang Chong took Guan Yu to sit on his couch, while the generals sat on the left and right.
Zhang Chong regards Guan Yu as his humerus and is extremely polite. Among them, the generals are lucky to say that they know that the leader of Ququ is a lover, and he is good at recruiting heroes. Don’t you see, Li Damu and Tian Jun are both unknown people. Aren’t they all brave men in the army now? Coupled with Guan Yu's extraordinary stature, even the great warrior He Kui was inferior to him. How could a man of this stature be so poor in martial prowess? Not to mention, they heard that Guan Yu did not avoid the blade and protected Jin Bing's family into the mountain because of Yi Shui's kindness. This was also righteous. This brave and righteous man deserves to be so highly praised by Qu Kuai.
But one general was annoyed. This man was Ding Sheng, who considered himself the most meritorious in the army.
Ding Sheng had reason to be proud, because he was there for the oath in the forest, he was there for attacking Xue's wall, and he was there for fighting against the Lei Ze water bandits and powerful soldiers outside the wall. Later, he participated in the attack on Zhangsuo Dazhai, led the team back to support Wangzhou Feng, and even commanded the destruction of Wangqinfeng Dazhai. Even this time, he was responsible for capturing the famous Taishan celebrity Hu Muban alive. Which of these generals can compare with him?
But what now? A person with a little height can stand on the stage and sit next to his boss, but what does his boss do to him? Ding Sheng refused to accept it.
Ding Sheng stood up and said:
"I'm not convinced by the magnanimity. This man is fat and looks majestic, but who knows he's not a wax spear head? Besides, this appearance is the result of his parents, so judging by appearance is not a good man."
After all, Ding Sheng was afraid of Zhang Chong and didn't dare to say too many weird things. Otherwise, wouldn't he be so gentle? Words like "dog slave, raccoon dog, and Naigong" had already popped out of Ding Sheng's mouth.
In fact, Ding Sheng has been unhappy for a long time.
In the past six months, Zhang Chong has continued to recruit surrenders and rebels. Many of them were prisoners before, but they became generals in just half a year.
For example, the surrendered generals Xi Shen, Ren Yun, Xie Bi, Yu Jin, Chang Xi, Zhao Jian, Cai Que and Guo Zu were originally the things he chopped off with Ding Sheng's knife, but they were appreciated by Qu Kui and were treated as equals to him.
Forget it, Xi Shen, Ren Yun, and Xie Bi were all old men who joined the gang before entering Mount Tai. But who are Yu Jin, Chang Xi, Zhao Jian and others? Especially in the early period, Chang Xi still dared to show off his bravery in front of him, and dared to steal his first-level gong? It’s really the other way around!
Then in the previous battle, Qu Kui took in another group of generals. This time it was even worse. Thirteen generals were taken in at once. Can't seven or eight battalions be divided later?
Thinking of this, he thought of his subordinate Shijiang Jinquan. This man was really unlucky.
In the battle against Feng Gaohao's powerful soldiers, he fell unconscious. After the war, his merits and demerits were evenly matched, and he lost nothing. This time he went on an expedition to fight against the Langya bandits, and he did not join the expedition. He stayed behind in Dazhai, and is still a garrison deputy. Yu Jin, whom he captured that day, knew a few words and could say a few nice things. , are now the commander of an independent battalion. What an injustice!
This is Ding Sheng's dissatisfaction. Good guy, he is really dedicated to his life, why not just take a shot when the battle comes?
Of course, Ding Sheng didn't think that the people promoted by Zhang Chong were wrong. He, Ding Sheng, still knew whether these people could fight.
For example, a few days ago at the camp in Zhongnan, he used the strength of wine to spar with the man named Dian Wei. The result was obvious that he and Heifu still had pain in their butts, and it was all because of Dian Wei's fall.
As for why the black husband also has a pain in the butt?
It's not obvious. Naigong can't defeat Dianwei alone, so he calls for another person to help him. Isn't it reasonable?
Although he and Heifu had a falling out, Dianwei didn't get any relief either. His waist rope was torn apart by him and Heifu together, making Dianwei a loser.
But soon, looking at Dian Wei's empty hem, everyone exclaimed, then praised, and finally looked at Ding Sheng.
Ding Sheng understood, he was embarrassed again.
But it doesn't matter, Nai Gong's face will be earned again from this Qingjintou this time.
So, when he finished saying that, he was already walking in the hall, doing the horn pose. I mean, don't look at Guan Yu as fat, but you are all dead meat, and you are no match for Ding Sheng.
The generals saw that Ding Sheng said strange things again, and they all sweated for him. Even as blunt as Chang Xi, they could see that Qu Shuai was obviously promoting this green scarf man. You, Ding Sheng, went up again, didn't you make Qu Qi unhappy? Well.
But in fact, Zhang Chong not only was not angry, he also felt that Ding Sheng had another opportunity. He knew that Zhang Chong was worried about how to make Guan Yu establish his power, and Ding Sheng jumped out.
Originally he wanted to provoke Ding Sheng, but now it's okay, the lucky general will come by himself, okay, then he won't blame me if he gets beaten up.
However, although Zhang Chong was happy, his face was serious. He scolded Ding Sheng for his madness and asked Guan Yu if he was willing to compete.
Guan Yu also wanted to show off, so he naturally refused and suffered the same fate as Shi Shiran.
He squinted his eyes, stroked his long beard, and waved to Ding Sheng to come.
In fact, Ding Sheng's current horns were also trained with Heizi and the others. In the past, when Zhang Heizi came to visit Zhou Feng Dazhai, his favorite thing was to rub Zhang Heizi and teach him how to play, but now he doesn't take it easy either.
But unfortunately, he met Guan Yu, and this time, he fell heavily to the ground again without even grabbing the waist rope.
Looking at Ding Sheng lying on the ground in the hall, he felt like crying for no reason.
Hot girl, how come the taxis you choose are better than the others!
