I am not a counselor, I am trying to survive in the late Han Dynasty

Chapter 89 A ray of light in the dark
Xu Shu's efficiency is very high.

He led his troops into Taishan County, and really showed off the style of a new official. He began to inform the counties, announced his identity, and began to visit his neighbors.

To the north of Taishan County is Qingzhou. Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Yuan Shao, is currently fighting with Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Gongsun Zan. Tian Kai has gradually become unable to resist, and Xu Shu only sent a greeting note to Yuan Tan.

To the east was Zang Ba. Sima Ju returned and explained Zang Ba's attitude. The two parties agreed on a specific meeting time and decided to go to Xuzhou together to visit Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian who had just died of illness.

Mr. Ai watched Xu Shu preparing things boredly and murmured:
"I watched a foreign TV series before."

"Ah, what is a TV series?"

"It's just...it's just, forget it, even if you tell me, you don't understand." He held his chin and said, "It is said in the TV series that funerals are the best opportunity for meetings and exchanges, where you can calmly discuss a lot of things that are not allowed to be said. .

Your good brother Zhuge Liang also went to attend Zhou Yu's funeral. That cat cries over the mouse, tsk tsk, you two are indeed good brothers. "

"Hmm." Xu Shu silently remembered the name Zhou Yu and said with emotion, "When I go to Xuzhou this time, I should be able to meet Liu Bei, right?
I don’t know what this person looks like? "

"Humph," Mr. Ai snorted dissatisfiedly, "What's the big deal?

If you don't just treat those traffickers and lackeys with hypocrisy, treat them with courtesy and treat them like reborn parents, you will also deceive those ignorant and ignorant people.

Hum, a person like me who understands history can see through his disguise at a glance. I will definitely expose his true face in public! "

Xu Shu was about to disgust Mr. Ai as usual, when Guan Hai beside him said curiously:
"Seriously, Liu Xuande actually greeted those traffickers and lackeys?"

"That's right!" Mr. Ai suddenly became happy when he remembered that Guan Hai was a senior victim. He flicked Guan Hai's hollow cuffs and said:
"What Liu Bei is best at is being hypocritical to those at the bottom.

Good guy, those low-level untouchables were not very educated, so they were immediately confused by him, and then Liu Bei took the opportunity to drive them to do bad things.

Who doesn't know this trick? Does Lao Guanqi think so?

Why don't you join me in scolding me? "

"Uh..." Guan Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "That's really good."

"Huh?" Mr. Ai was stunned, "Wow, what are you doing? Your arms were chopped off.

Are you suffering from delayed onset in Stockholm? "

Guan Hai smiled cheerfully, the wrinkles on his face clustered into dry clusters, like the bark of an old tree:
"Hey, Mr. Ai, I'm afraid you will be in a good situation in a thousand years."

"That's right." Mr. Ai proudly puffed out his belly, "I went to the place where the lighthouse of human civilization is...

Hey, I shouldn't have come back to visit the acupuncture point, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this hellish place like yours. "

Guan Hai's smile dropped slightly with a hint of sadness and sighed:

"I see, you must have had enough food and clothing at that time, and there were gentlemen and good people everywhere.

It’s not like this year…”

He said rather sadly:
"You won't believe me, but when I was young, my family was in a good enough position, and I used to study hard. I wanted to learn some scriptures, enter the Imperial Academy, and then see if there were any opportunities to become an official."

"Blow, keep blowing!" Mr. Ai became less sleepy as soon as he said this, "When I was young, my tutor was a great mathematician. Did I tell him everywhere?"

Guan Hai looked at Mr. Ai as if he was seeing an old friend:
"Hey, yes, when I was studying, Wang Lang, the son of a landlord in my hometown, was also studying.

We were of the same age and studied together, but the masters he invited were all erudite scholars. I farmed for my parents for a day, then went home and read some bamboo slips, but I couldn't learn from him on my own. "

These words made Mr. Ai a little unhappy, and he immediately said:
"Look at what you said, you just studied for a few days and you want to surpass the efforts of generations of people. Why?
You are Qiu Fu! "

"Hehehe, yes." Guan Hai sighed, "I think so too. I think if I work harder, plant more acres of farmland, and raise more chickens, so that my children and grandchildren can be richer, maybe I can compete with those A wealthy family usually relies on generations of savings to live a good life.

I heard that the ancestors of the wealthy families were all benevolent gentlemen. They must have excellent family traditions and love their children and grandchildren. I will also cultivate my character diligently and let my children become good people. "

Speaking of this, Guan Hai looked even more lonely:
"What a shame. Within a few years, we were hit by a major disaster. Locusts were everywhere, and there were repeated droughts. The grass roots were eaten away, and the bark of the trees was eaten away. The hungry people ate up all the clothes on their bodies and the soil on the ground... …”

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Ai said impatiently, "Quick forward, quick forward, let's get to the point. I'm busy and don't have time to listen to you and Xianglin's ramblings."

Guan Hai was not angry and said with a smile;

"Well, the Han Dynasty court also came to provide disaster relief."

"and then?"

“Then a few people came in who were worried about providing disaster relief, so they dug up the road and destroyed the bridge.

Several guests from the countryside couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to build roads and bridges, hoping that relief vehicles and horses could come in.

But just at the beginning, he was killed by several big names, and the bodies were hung up and fed to the dogs.

Hehe, is it miserable? "

Mr. Ai was speechless for a long time. He thought that he had become quite morally corrupt, but he didn't expect that there were such people.

It's really...a good method!
"Hehehe, we are starving to death, and the land has been mortgaged to the big family a long time ago, and we have become their guest slaves.

The older man from the Wang family, who studied with me and was not as good as me, became a famous scholar and was promoted to Xiaolian.

After he returned home, he built bridges and paved roads. Famous people said that he was of noble character and kind to the people.But we know that he built the bridge he smashed and paved the road he dug.

It’s not that the officials from all over the world are invisible, but how can they stand up for ordinary people like us?
Even if we insult the landlord's surname, we will also accuse us of being heartless and cheap.

You said that at this time, if someone cares about me, even if it is false, what should I do? "

As Guan Hai spoke, he gently spread his hands:
"It's just a lie. How can any official be willing to wait for me these years?

Is there anything I can buy from you?The princes of the world have been fighting for ten years, but all they can do is treat us like pigs and dogs.

If someone treats me as a human being, not to mention cutting off one of my arms, even if they cut off my limbs, I have to look at him with a smile and wish him a long life.

Everyone in my yellow scarf family is like this. They have lost their homes and their lives. Those who can move around and do things are considered lucky. Most of them are dead before the great virtuous teacher raises his arms. How can anyone come to ask about the welfare? "

Guan Hai's speech was very calm, but at the end of the story, the Yellow Turban Qushuai couldn't help but burst into tears.

His story is different from what Xu He told Xu Shu before, but they are all equally tragic, which makes Xu Shu somewhat powerless.

Xu Shu came from a poor family, but his family also had dozens of acres of farmland, which he could hire people to work on, so that he could learn swordsmanship and read scriptures.

Before the world was in chaos, he had never seen these sufferings in the world. He was kind to Guan Hai, Xu He, Sima Ju and other yellow turbans just because according to the words of the sage, he should be kind to these people.

But in troubled times, there are many people who have read the books of saints, but it seems that not many people listen to the words of saints.

Liu Bei was willing to extend his hand to these lowly people who were like mud, just like he dared to rescue Cao Cao with only a thousand men when he massacred Xuzhou.

This moth-like effort was undoubtedly the greatest care and comfort for them. No wonder so many people were willing to follow him to fight in troubled times. No wonder he became Cao Cao's biggest opponent in "history".

No wonder... Thousands of years later, there are still people praising our rotten dynasty, which is riddled with holes and is even about to be destroyed.

Xu Shu's nose felt sour. He finally understood why Mr. Ai hated Liu Bei so much, and finally understood why he was willing to fight with him in history.

Mr. Ai had no sense of empathy for Guan Hai's story. He thought that it was so abominable that people like this didn't work hard but complained about others every day. They had no spirit of struggle at all and blamed others for worshiping celebrities. It was really abominable. As expected, I had to leave such a small town to become a topic writer. Farther away.

He coughed dryly and changed the subject:

"Don't talk about such boring things, but also talk about going to Xuzhou to meet Liu Bei, maggot concubine, have you figured out how to get there?"

"What are you doing?" Xu Shu asked inexplicably.

"Of course..." Mr. Ai was speechless, "Do you think Lu Bu won't come and beat you up?"

"Yes?" Xu Shu said, "What's wrong?"

"What did you say? Are you a fool, my dear? I'm doing this all for your own good!" Mr. Ai said helplessly, "You don't really think that you defeated Lu Bu with your own ability last time, do you?
Lu Bu has been back home to rest for more than half a month. Wushuang has probably saved up enough. If he challenges you this time, you'll be done with it if he waits for a few seconds. "

Xu Shu said cheerfully:
"So you're talking about this?

So what's there to be afraid of?This time I brought evil with me to all the brothers. I was not afraid of Lu Bu before, and I will be even less afraid after that. "

"It's okay to take Dian Wei with you, but have you considered how to come back?"

"Let Liu Bei escort me back?" Xu Shu said casually, "If you come to evil, you have to study the classics. We will probably stay in Xuzhou for two or three months. We can't delay his study of the classics. We are not going to Xuzhou this time. When fighting, just take a few less people with you."

Mr. Ai:......

"No, you really want Dian Wei to learn? What can he learn with his IQ?"

Mr. Ai has never heard of anyone trying to cultivate Dian Wei into a cultural person. Previously, Mr. Ai wanted to weaken the combat effectiveness of Xu Shu's guard, but now he can also use the guard himself. If he wants to weaken it, he cannot weaken it at this time, but he can I was so anxious.

Xu Shu nodded:
"Look, your family has found famous scholars to teach you, so why don't you come and learn some classics and the like?
And I think he has been very involved recently, and he seems to have gained some insights. I will have to ask Xue Lan to give him a lesson someday to see how well he has learned. "

"He learned it..." Mr. Ai suddenly remembered that he had annotated "Yu" and gave it to Dian Wei for study last time. He shuddered suddenly, thinking that if Xue Lan found out about this, Dian Wei would not beat himself to death. .

He quickly took Xu Shu's hand and said tremblingly:
"I feel that Xilai's studies are very good and solid. There is no need to take exams, which hurts people's self-confidence.

You, if you have this time, you might as well ask for information and do something serious. I'm really anxious for you. "

"Speaking of information..." Xu Shu said, "You told me about Lu Bu selling his daughter before. I also inquired about Yuan Shu in detail with E Lai before, but there is one thing I never asked out."

"What?"

"Yuxi, didn't you say that Yuan Shu got the Yuxi?

Erlai has never heard of Yuan Shu's jade seal. Could it be that you remembered it wrong? "

"Fart!" Mr. Ai jumped up, "He knows nothing. I have the jade seal in my hand, and I have it in the world, but he doesn't know this?

After Yuan Shu got the jade seal, he would definitely hide it temporarily and wait for the opportunity. Do you still dare to doubt me?

If this is fake, I won’t even want it! "

Xu Shu stared at Mr. Ai to make sure he was not lying, and then smiled:
"Okay, just make sure it's okay.

As long as this matter is true, there will be no danger at all in Xuzhou. Just wait and see how I behave. "
