Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 142
The scene of cooking and wine in the Three Kingdoms is lucky to follow the points and win the singing.

The matter of fame and fame will end at the end. Talk to the heroes of the world, and thunder will happen, and you will see how many people in the world are so cold.

Wine, warm up!
Lin Feng raised the wine bottle and tasted the rice wine from the Three Kingdoms era. The alcohol content was not high, but it was still sweet.

Suddenly he thought of something, and he asked curiously, "Prime Minister, as the saying goes, talking about heroes by cooking wine, you once said to Liu Bei: "Today, the only heroes in the world are the king and the ear. There are not enough people at the beginning."

"As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. Since you proposed that Liu Bei and him are the only heroes in the world, why didn't you kill Liu Bei when he faced such a threatening opponent?"

With Cao Cao's IQ, it can be seen that Liu Bei is also a hero in troubled times, and may be a terrible opponent in the future.

Why didn't Cao Cao kill Liu Bei?
And to leave such a big trouble?This led to the situation of the Three Kingdoms.

When cooking wine and discussing heroes, if Liu Bei dies, there will be no Shu Han. Cao Cao only needs to deal with Soochow, and his chances of winning are greater.

"Cooking wine to talk about heroes?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Why can't Gu remember?" Cao Cao's expression froze, trying to recall, but there was no such thing.

Lin Feng, "..."

He forgot that the episode about cooking wine and talking about heroes comes from the fiction of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it does not exist in history.

For example, the most famous "Three British Wars Against Lu Bu", the Hulao Pass in history, there is no such thing at all.

even say.

Warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong was not Guan Gong's beheading, but someone else.

However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have worked together for a period of time, so there should be the opportunity and conditions to kill Liu Bei.

"This Liu Bei is indeed an extraordinary person. He has great ambitions. He uses the slogan of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty everywhere, and he regards himself as the emperor's uncle. When he is free, he often talks with outsiders about "the Han and the thief are not at odds, and the king's industry is not partial." To express one's will, to set up one's own brand of benevolence and righteousness, so that one can recruit troops and become stronger."

"Gu, I really wanted to kill Liu Bei, but I couldn't."

Isn't Cao Cao's statement contradictory?

Lin Feng was at a loss, since he regarded Liu Bei as a threat to unify the world in the future, why didn't he kill him?

Is there another reason?

Cao Cao explained: "Back in the day when the rebels were alone, they fought against the tyrants and Anliang, and sincerely recruited the world's heroes. If there was no reason at that time, they would have killed Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu, who claimed to be the Han Dynasty every day. It would have chilled the hearts of the world's heroes and would not dare to join them again. , but choose another Ming Lord, who will we rely on alone to pacify the world? Killing Liu Bei is not difficult, but it prevents heroes from all over the world from coming to join us."

Unspoken.

If Liu Bei dies, he will lose the hearts of the people and put himself in a disadvantageous situation.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "Prime Minister, if the famous scene of cooking wine and talking about heroes really happened back then, and you saw Liu Bei's performance after the thunderstorm, what would you say?"

Cao Cao smiled boldly and said, "Gu Dingran secretly laughed in his heart: Uncle Liu Huang, you can just pretend, I don't care about you, as long as you don't fight against me, I don't want to touch you for the time being..."

Subsequently.

Two people separated by 800 years are sitting in the cabin, talking while cooking wine.

"I just have a question, please give me your advice." Cao Cao said with a serious expression.

"The junior knows everything."

"After the Three Kingdoms came to power, who finally won the country? Unified Kyushu? Become a new generation of orthodox dynasty." Cao Cao asked the question with full expectation. In his eyes, the Northern Wei Dynasty was the strongest. After decades of recuperation, it was not comparable to Sun Wu Yes, not to mention he has several smart sons, the future can be expected.

Lin Feng, "..."

Do you really want to say this?
"Sir, is there something unspeakable?" Cao Cao asked again.

"Prime Minister, the final unified dynasty is not the Northern Wei Dynasty, not the Eastern Wu Dynasty, or the Shuhan Dynasty."

Lin Feng paused, took a deep breath and said, "It was the Jin Dynasty established by Sima Yan."

Cao Cao immediately frowned and asked, "Sima Yan, who is he? How come Gu has never heard of such a number one?"

Lin Feng said truthfully, "After the Northern Wei Dynasty, Sima Yi launched the Gaoping Mausoleum Change with [-] soldiers and horses, emptied the royal family of the Wei State, controlled the government, and grew step by step. Later, Sima Yi's grandson, Sima Yan, blatantly killed the Emperor of the Wei State and replaced him. "

"The Sima family..."

"Zhongda..."

"It's him……"

Cao Cao jumped up furiously, his eyes were full of anger, and he had an angry expression that he wanted to chop Sima Yi into pieces.

Sima Yi at this time has not gained power yet.

It's just that Sima Yi has already taken refuge in Cao Cao and left a name.

Lin Feng said again, "Prime Minister, after the fire burned Chibi, you returned to the north in embarrassment, with a decadent mind, and saved up to find the world to be a counselor. At that time, Sima Yi, who is known as the tomb tiger, began to gain power."

"how is this possible?"

"Such an ambitious thief."

"How can Gu tolerate him?"

"Even if Gu is dead, he will be cut into pieces first. It is absolutely impossible to let him live and harm the Wei family."

Cao Cao was still furious, if it wasn't for Lin Feng's face, he would have sent an order to dispatch a group of soldiers to hack Sima Yi to death.

Even with Cao Cao's tyrannical temperament, he would rather kill a thousand than let one go. He might kill all the members of the Sima family in the northern Central Plains and bleed into rivers.

Lin Feng explained, "Prime Minister, Sima Yi survived because of one person."

Cao Cao immediately asked, "Who?"

Lin Feng said, "Your next successor is the emperor of Wei."

"Emperor Wei?"

Cao Cao looked suspicious, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly, "Sir, who is Gu's next successor?"

In his heart, the best candidate by default must be Cao Chong.

Cao Chong was called an elephant, and his name has been preserved for thousands of years. He was a talented and intelligent boy, but unfortunately, the boy died young.

Lin Feng said, "It's Cao Pi! At that time, Cao Pi worshiped Sima Yi as his advisor in order to take over the country of Wei."

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes were frighteningly flickering, and he said, "Even if Cao Pi is the emperor, he is not a rich man, and Cao Pi is young, how can Sima Yi have a chance to mutiny?"

Cao Pi was the first emperor of the Wei State, and he was extremely cunning, and he was indeed not an ordinary person.

But he was short-lived!
Died at the young age of 39.

Cao Cao couldn't believe it, he gasped and asked, "This old thief Sima lived such a long life?"

Lin Feng said, "Yes, Sima Yi lived 31 years longer than you, Prime Minister, and 28 years longer than Liu Bei. Sima Yi died when he was 72 years old, and killed three generations of monarchs of your Wei Kingdom..."

During the Three Kingdoms era, the average life expectancy was around 27.

But Sima Yi lived for 72 years. I don't know, I thought he took some panacea!

Moreover, Sima Yi's lifespan has directly reached the average life expectancy of modern Chinese people after 800 years.

In terms of longevity, Sima Yi is also a critic!
"Fuck..."

Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table, his face flushed with anger, "Old thief Sima, you really deserve to die!"

Lin Feng quickly changed the subject and asked, "Prime Minister, why didn't you become emperor when your power reached its peak?"

According to historical records, in 217 A.D., Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ordered Cao Cao to set up banners that only the emperor could use.Soon, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ordered Cao Cao to wear a top hat with twelve jade strings hanging on his head like an emperor, ride in a special gold and silver chariot, and harness six horses.

At the same time, Cao Pi, the eldest son of Wuguan Zhonglang, was named the crown prince of Wei.In this way, Cao Cao completed all preparations for seizing the throne and hereditary power, and almost reached the end of the road to the emperor.

So, why didn't Cao Cao proclaim himself emperor?
The word "emperor" is an irresistible temptation for any ambitious person!
Even Uncle Liu Huang, who has always regarded himself as "Kuangfu the Han Dynasty", has become an emperor himself?

"The situation where I am alone cannot become an emperor."

"The general trend of the world is destined to be just an entrepreneur. As for guarding the country and becoming an emperor, it can only be handed over to future generations."

Cao Cao suddenly showed a sly and smug smile, and said word by word, "Gu is practical, as long as he has real power, a false name is not important."

This is a very intelligent hero who thinks long-term.

"pity."

"Prime Minister, you have done three things wrong in your life. You have done three things wrong. It is a pity that you lost your victory, lost your life, and destroyed your country."

Regarding Lin Feng's words, Cao Cao's expression became dignified. After all, Lin Feng is a "later" young man who seems to have "divine means".

Cao Cao asked, "Gu, what did you do wrong?"

"Prime Minister, your first mistake was the Battle of Chibi. You were able to defeat the strong with the weak and win the Battle of Guandu. Why did you make such a shocking mistake at the mouth of the Yangtze River? If you won the Battle of Chibi, you would sweep Jiangnan and unify you. Kyushu, your achievements, your prestige, in the rankings of future generations, will be close to Qin Huang Han Wu."

"The second mistake was to kill Hua Tuo, which caused immeasurable losses to Huaxia TCM. You must know that Hua Tuo was writing a peerless medical book in his later years, but he died in your hands, and the medical book died without a problem."

"The third mistake was not killing Sima Yi, but simply telling his son Cao Pi that this person cannot be reused. Since you have doubts, you should act decisively. Because of your mistake, Jiangshan was usurped by the Sima family."

History is a cloud.

All the stories are sealed in the Three Kingdoms era 800 years ago.

"Eh!"

Cao Cao said, "Gu is not a sage, how can he be infallible, sir, can you let Gu take a look at the changes in the history of China later?"

"it is good!"

Lin Feng turned a little outside, and the sparkling river surface shone with brilliance, and the ancient Yangtze River water turned into a screen.

One scene after another emerges, reflecting many subsequent historical changes of the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Shu Wu Dingli.

The Jin Dynasty was unified.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings.

Five random Chinese.

……

Countless soldiers on the iron chain boat saw an unbelievable scene. The Yangtze River below was beating with dazzling brilliance. The picture in the water was exceptionally clear, and every shot deeply impacted their cognition.

Cao Cao stepped out of the deck, stared blankly at the front, and said with emotion, "Huaxia, for thousands of years, has experienced countless sufferings and is a race full of vicissitudes of life!"

It is precisely because of countless tribulations, forging ahead, and endless struggle, that China has created countless splendid civilizations.

Its history is also an epic masterpiece.

The picture on the Yangtze River was still flashing, Lin Feng got up and began to say goodbye.

Then he walked the vast river alone.

Under the attention of tens of thousands of people.

Wading southbound.

Going to Liu Bei's camp, while walking on the ancient Chibi battlefield, Goldman recited:
"Cao Gong's imposing manner, Su Zi's articles, the characters are out of shape, and the dust is desolate, but the river water has flowed through the ages and ages."

Next, he will talk to Uncle Liu, Wolong, and Guan Gong...
