If this question were asked to the young Wenpin, he would have puffed up his chest and responded loudly, "Make a great contribution! Make an immortal contribution!"
But if you ask Wenpin now, you will probably get silence.
As people grow up and become more realistic, they also lose something.
Especially when Wenpin saw that what came was not the reinforcements, but the angel Lu Su, Wenpin realized the deep malice of the world towards him...
Lu Su came, but the two sides failed to fight.
Temporary.
Everyone knew it was temporary, but no one said it.
Under Lu Su's strong request, Wenpin and others were able to take a breather and received some supplies from Lu Su.
Seeing his soldiers staring at the meat as if they were reincarnated from starvation, surrounding the pot and cauldron, unwilling to move, just waiting for it to be cooked and ready for sharing, Wenpin suddenly understood.
, in fact, people just want to live.
Everything is for the sake of living.
Survive first, then there will be other things...
In order to give the angels at least ceremonial preferential treatment, a layer of cloth was used to surround a small hill, making it a good reception place.
Although there is no fine wine and food, there is still barbecue.
Lu Su's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but he is very talented, eloquent, and has a reputation for being generous. Although this errand is almost like being forced on him, he still smiles and seems not to notice at all.
No feeling of grievance.
Lu Su seemed to like Pang Shanmin very much and was very close to him. He was always admiring him intentionally or unintentionally when talking and laughing.
Although Pang Shanmin was a little embarrassed to see Lu Su admiring him so much, he felt quite comfortable in his heart. In addition, both of them were knowledgeable and discussed some scriptures and poems. It was considered a compatibility, so they talked more.
The atmosphere is pretty good for now.
"Today is such a good day, if we use swords and guns and see the blood, it will be a big disaster!" Lu Su said with a smile, "Why don't we, for the sake of the emperor, let the two sides stop fighting for the time being? I'm just borrowing the treasure land to use it.
, General Wen, please come down to the fort and have a few drinks together! If you have any grudges, let’s put them aside for today and wait until tomorrow. It’s not too late! I wonder what the people of the country think?”
Seeing Lu Su carrying out the emperor, Pang Shanmin's expression changed slightly, and then he glanced at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was sitting at the bottom, just twirling his beard and not commenting.
Pang Shanmin pondered for a moment, then slowly straightened his back, looked at Lu Su, and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
Lu Su's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the good atmosphere he had created before would be compromised by his words, but he had to do it.
Because Lu Su couldn't guarantee that he would be able to successfully mediate. What if he was delayed in Guanzhong for a while, and then Hedong was finished before Pang Tong let him go?
Therefore, Lu Su must seize any opportunity to at least show that he is working hard...
Just like this Wuguan Road.
After a one-day truce, the two sides, oh, the tripartite talks, no matter how you put it, can prove that Lu Su has put in hard work and is not just a freeloader.
Moreover, Lu Suka’s point is just right. After all, the two sides have not really beaten the brains out of human heads. If they stop for one day, the losses for both parties, especially Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong, will not be so great, but Lu Su
Nor did he expect that Pangshan people, who seemed a little shy when talking about poetry and scriptures, would change so much after hearing the military suggestion of a one-day truce!
It's like...
A knife was pulled out of the scabbard!
Although Lu Su felt vaguely that something was not good, he could not immediately regret it after he had said it.
Wenpin was invited to leave the fort, and then led seven or eight guards through the hussar formation to the place where the curtain was hung for the temporary gathering.
Huang Zhong looked at Wenpin and saw that although he looked tired, he was not afraid of shrinking, so he nodded and said hello, without deliberately making any moves to embarrass Wenpin.
Wen Pin came forward and paid his respects one by one.
Wenpin didn't expect that there would be such a sit-down meeting before the war, so even if he came, he didn't know what to say. Of course, even if Wenpin was asked to prepare, he also didn't know what to say.
He is just a military commander. He has read some books, but if he is asked to talk about some allusions and poems, he will not be able to tell them.
So after Wenpin sat down, there was silence.
Fortunately, there is Lu Su.
As someone who often travels around...
Well, I don’t travel often in the West, but Lu Su still has a lot of experience in the East. He knew not to let the scene cool down, so he laughed and said some warm words to support it, but Lu Su never expected that
What's strange is that some of the scene words he has always used successfully in Shandong have problems here.
Just like the weather in the Sakura Empire is always inseparable from the weather, among the Han people, the topic in the past few years is also inseparable from the Yellow Turban.
Yes, in the Han Dynasty, it was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion. But in later generations, it was also called the Yellow Turban Uprising.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was a peasant war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the largest religiously organized popular uprisings in Chinese history. The bankrupt peasants who had no choice but to launch a fierce attack on the bureaucratic landlords had a huge impact on the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
.Although Zhang Jiao failed in the end, he promoted the Han Dynasty to form a situation where the feudal princes were divided.
Lu Su was a landlord.
Pangshan people are also landlords.
But now when it comes to talking about the Yellow Turban, their attitudes are completely different.
Lu Su has always been very disgusted with the Yellow Turbans who rose up against the imperial court, burned, killed and looted.
If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Thief, it's hard to say that he would still be in Linhuai and be a good little landowner. Why would he need to go bankrupt to seek refuge here or go into exile there?
Although it is said that in troubled times, there will be more opportunities, but troubled times are also painful!
Just like all kinds of drifting in later generations, opportunities are just duckweed on the water. Successful ones are survivor bias, and unsuccessful ones are landlords and homeowners' happiness index enhancers. Make money wherever you go, and don't even think about it.
Take it home.
Lu Su believed that the unorganized Yellow Turban thieves were mob rebellions that brought harm to the country and ruined lives. Lu Su was very direct. He believed that suppressing the rebellion was correct and essential, but after the culprits were captured,
I still have a certain attitude towards killing other ordinary Yellow Turban thieves.
Lu Su thought it was too much to trap and kill the captives. Perhaps the Huangfu family also caused subsequent disasters and affected their family because they killed too many people and damaged their luck...
Lu Su felt that when dealing with the Yellow Turbans, he should win the battle and let them surrender. Those who can be recruited for his own use can be used for his own purposes. Those who cannot be used should be appeased on the spot, so that they can live a stable life, and the world will naturally stabilize.
But Lu Su didn't expect that Pang Shanmin had different opinions on this.
When Lu Su was talking, Pang Shanmin frowned slightly, but said nothing. When Lu Su had almost finished speaking, Pang Shanmin slowly said something, which made Lu Su surprised and puzzled, but also felt that
It makes sense, something that needs to be understood and pondered...
"Why are the people rebelling?" Pang Shanmin asked, and before Lu Su could answer, he said, "There is no way to survive. All the people in the world are seeking to survive. If they can't live or die, why don't they rebel?!"
Wen Pin, who had been acting as the background wall, couldn't help but feel a sudden movement in his heart when he heard this!
He looked at Pang Shanmin.
This was the first time that Wenpin took a serious look at Pang Shanmin after he arrived here.
Pang Shanmin is neither handsome nor elegant, but at this moment, Pang Shanmin's expression seems to be full of power, solemn and solemn.
"How can the Han people live? There is no silk for mulberry, no meat for fishing, no fur for hunting. If a farmer does not work for a day, he has no food for a day! How can the Han people live? They work all year round, they have no clothes, no food, and their leaky houses cannot be repaired. They are in tatters.
No compensation! How can the Han people live?! A family of five, working non-stop, with a hundred acres of land, two or three hundred dan is very good. However, half of the tax is removed, and the transfer is directly levied. The old and young at home are moaning, and the beetles are howling outside!"
Wenpin sighed and lowered his head slightly.
He knew that Pang Shanmin was right.
A peasant family of five in Han Dynasty needs at least a hundred shi of grain to eat every year, and it also has to be mixed with a lot of wheat bran and wild vegetables. In addition, the cost of exchanging salt, production tools, daily necessities, etc., and selling the rice costs 100 kilograms.
One layer of skin is peeled off, and another layer of skin is peeled off when buying something...
If a family's income does not meet the minimum standard of living they need, they will inevitably fall into a situation of hunger and cold, let alone maintain farming in the coming year.
Moreover, Pang Shanmin is talking about a home with a hundred acres, which is already a very good family. But among the big Han people now, many farmers actually own less than a hundred acres of land, usually only dozens of acres or even a few acres, and only one hundred acres a year.
With an income of more than a stone or less, after deducting various taxes, there is not much left, and it is impossible to survive.
"Why did the Han people die? Birth, old age, illness and death are human ethics. However, if you don't lose your family, you won't be filial to your children, and if you don't go bankrupt, you won't be your son! Why did the Han people die! The lenders wore rich clothes and sat high behind the counter, and the filial sons wore white linen and knelt down to beg for help.
Your Majesty! Why did the Han people die?! The emperor founded the country in three chapters, and all the villagers knew it. Now what are the rules and regulations? There are also dead people who entered the forest and mountains without permission, and they were not compensated but severely punished! Life can't live, and death can't die, so why not rebel?
!』
Lu Su was stunned.
In fact, doesn’t Lu Su know about these issues?
He also knew it, but the mainstream thinking in Shandong, or most people when talking about the Yellow Turbans, held a critical and opposing attitude. At the same time, they often treated ordinary people
With a state of nostrils pointing upward and eyes downward.
Because people in Shandong feel that these untouchables are not literate, ignorant of reason, and unable to communicate, and they belong to a completely different category from them...
But they have forgotten that if in the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi, Confucius, Xunzi, Mozi and others did not spread knowledge and writing, preached, taught and solved doubts, most of them would still be lackeys under the princes, just
Understand the skills taught by family business. But after they acquired the knowledge, they took it for themselves, set up various obstacles, and in turn laughed at the people who were unable to acquire the knowledge.
People in Pangshan sighed with emotion: "Someone heard that there was a folk song in the early years that said, "The hair of ordinary people is like a leek, and it will come back to life after being cut; the head is like a chicken, and it will croak again after being cut. Officials don't need to be feared, they must always be treated lightly. How can I hope for peace!" In the past!
When I heard about it, I was just sighing, but I didn’t know that the people were suffering so much! I also hated the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now that I know it, I should know why! If the Yellow Turban rebels, they will definitely die. If they don’t rebel, they will die! In this way, it is better to rebel, and they can still be killed.
Corrupt officials can get rid of bullies and evil gentry, they can burn carved beams and painted buildings, they can destroy buildings and streets, they can divide money and jewels, they can eat fish meat and fat... Even if you know you are going to die, how can you be happy! The people have no future, and the world will rebel! By then all jade and stone will be burned,
Where can spring and white snow come from? Only blood and fire cover the ground, and corpses fill the valleys and rivers!"
Lu Su swallowed his saliva and was speechless for a long time.
Lu Su has already gone to Jiangdong and stayed too long...
People will change the environment, and the environment will also affect people. Everything has two sides. Lu Su was in Jiangdong. Even though he was quite disdainful to Zhang Zhao and other people who only cared about what was in front of him, Lu Su himself was gradually affected.
The problem is limited to Jiangdong instead of the whole world, and the future direction is not clearly clear.
For Pang Shanmin, after a baptism in Guanzhong, especially after a heart-to-heart talk with Pang Tong, he was truly transformed. He had many feelings and accumulated them in his heart. It happened that Lu Su hit the muzzle of the gun...
What Pang Shanmin said was not entirely a refutation of Lu Su, but rather a mockery of Pang Shanmin himself.
In the early years, Pang Shanmin only stared at the Pang family, the surrounding areas of Wancheng, and his own three-acre land.
But so what?
Can you keep it if you just stare hard at it?
Pang Shanmin didn't believe that Pang Tong would give up the Pang family business or that Pang Tong would abandon Wancheng. That was because Pang Shanmin's eyes at that time were only so big, so he couldn't see it and couldn't believe it. As a result, when he arrived in Guanzhong, Pang Shanmin discovered that the clown was
It's always been him.
Pang Shanmin is saying that ordinary people, those rebellious people are obsessed with the present because they can't see the future. Isn't he mocking himself before?
Because we can’t see the future, we can only see today.
Because I can't see the distance, I only focus on what's in front of me.
After his thoughts became clear, Pang Shanmin understood why Wancheng was so easily broken and why it couldn't be defended. However, places like Tongguan Wuguan in Guanzhong were like copper and iron walls. Even if ten times or even a hundred times the number of enemy troops came,
Still can't be broken.
It's not how strong the barrier is, but how firm the people's hearts are.
Previously, Pang Shanmin, as the prefect of Wancheng, only focused on his own family and the three feet of land in front of his door. So he wants other merchants in Wancheng who can work selflessly and fight and sacrifice for the Pang family business.
?
Pang Shanmin felt how ridiculous he was before, but now he naturally showed how hateful he was.
But in Lu Su's eyes, it was as if Pang Shanmin hated him, was dumbfounded, and did not dare to say another word.
At that moment, Lu Su even thought that Pang Shanmin was possessed by Zhang Jiao or some other rebel leader. Maybe in the next moment, Pang Shanmin would leave the table and shout, "Prince and General Xiang Ning, what kind of spirit do you have!"
So Lu Su did not dare to continue arguing, for fear of irritating Pang Shanmin, so he could only smile awkwardly and politely.
However, Lu Su did not expect that the person present who was most shocked was not Lu Su himself, but Wenpin!
In the Han Dynasty, "righteousness" was very important.
This level of importance may be spoken by some people, while others may be kept in their hearts.
Wenpin is undoubtedly the latter.
Historically, when Liu Cong surrendered, Wenpin did not follow him closely to see Cao Cao. Later, Cao Cao even specifically asked Wenpin, "Why are you here?"
Compared with the gentry children in Jingxiang who were too busy to bow to Cao Cao and show that they were strong-willed and loyal, Wenpin, who was not good at expressing himself and was even a bit "pedantic", seemed like an alien.
Just like "food" and "food".
When everyone thinks that rice is grain, they also forget that rice must actually have quantity before it can be called "grain". Otherwise, the world will only focus on a few grains of good rice, but ignore it.
Most ordinary people are actually eating more and worse wheat bran and wild vegetables.
Wenpin put down his wine glass, lowered his head and thought silently.
It is not that no one among the Han Dynasty has noticed that there is a problem with the Han Dynasty system, or the political model, but many times even if they know that there is a problem, they don't know how to solve the problem. So they can only drag and waste,
Then I watched helplessly as the entire country slipped into the abyss bit by bit.
Wenpin pretended to be loyal and brave in his heart, but he never said it on his lips. He also had a strong man in his heart, but he also never said it in his mouth.
In comparison, is Lu Su's "loyalty" to the big man...
In fact, to a certain extent, the more loyal Lu Su was to Sun Quan, the less loyal he was to the Han Dynasty.
It's just that under the long-standing dual monarchy system of the Han Dynasty, it was in line with the gentry's perception and was praised as virtuous...
As a result, Lu Su couldn't adapt to being fucked so righteously by Pang Shanmin. He forced a smile and wanted to save the situation, but it already seemed very weird. Just when he was thinking hard about how to save it, he heard
Wen Pin on the side said: "I am willing to go with the angel to Guanzhong... Oh, just you and a few personal guards. As for the rest of the soldiers... General Pang Shijun and Huang will make the decision."
"Ah?" Lu Su was stunned, "This..."
What kind of divine unfolding is this?
"Pang Shijun..." Wenpin raised his head and looked at Pang Shanmin, "These words were said before... Oh, I'm sorry for being rude, but did Pang Shijun realize this and express such words of appreciation only after he arrived in Chang'an?"
Pang Shanmin did not shy away and nodded in agreement.
Wenpin nodded, and after being silent for a long time, he raised his hands to Lu Su and said, "Wen is not talented, but has some martial arts skills. I would like the guardian angel to enter the pass. I wonder if the angel will accept it?"
Lu Su was stunned for a moment, then agreed and said: "I am willing, but I don't know... is Pang Shijun willing to let General Wen go?"
Pang Shanmin looked at Wenpin, "General Wen, why do you insist on going to Guanzhong?"
"Because before the Han Dynasty, no one had ever said that Han people could neither live nor die!" Wen Pin said in a deep voice, "Pang Shijun never said that before he went to Chang'an! Qinglong Temple in Chang'an... Wen has been fascinated by it for a long time.
.Since the angel has come today, isn’t it an opportunity for Wen?”
I wish the country will be stronger and the people happier!
