Chapter 694 Guo Huai discusses politics
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. ------Ming Dynasty's "Warning to the World"
It is said that Sima Lang, Guo Huai, Ma Yunluan, Diao Chan and Chen Long gathered around with a toast, forming a wonderful small circle. No one in the world would have imagined that these five unrelated people would come together.
Of course Ma Yunluo would not tell the truth after seeing through it, but thinking about Chen Long's identity, he would never stay with the Tianshui Gang, but Ma Yunluo felt sad and his expression became much worse. Chen Long knew the taste of the marrow, and also thought that he and Ma Yunluo might not be in love. If Ma Yunluo couldn't leave the Xiliang gang immediately, what if he had to win a decisive battle to attract a bride? There was absolutely no way that he would join the Tianshui Gang. Feeling helpless, Chen Long couldn't help but touch his forehead with his big hands and wipe away the cold sweat.
Diao Chan Bingxue was smart and felt that there seemed to be an invisible layer of sadness between Ma Yunluo and Chen Long. She approached Ma Yunluo and bowed her head in silence. Although Ma Yunluo forced a smile on his face, the way he looked at Chen Long was different, with a hint of sadness.
At this time, when Guo Huai heard about the Guo family in Yingchuan, he couldn't help but talk about it and said with a smile: "I have heard that there is also a Guo family in Yingchuan, which may be related to the ancestors of my family. His only eldest son Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao were very resourceful, and he was killed by that family. The Lord of Jingzhou Qinglong values him, and he has been with him since he was a child because he is the number one think tank. It is a pity that he and I are close friends, otherwise we can compare skills."
Chen Long smiled slightly and thought that although Guo Huai was a good general, in terms of intelligence, he was probably not as good as Guo Jia. However, Guo Huai was able to use his troops prudently, anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and assess the situation. He indeed had the talent of a general. If you can take advantage of the opportunity to recruit them, you may be able to guard the border for yourself. He immediately complimented him and said, "Bo Ji's talent is certainly not inferior to that of Guo Fengxiao. He can be said to be the double wall of the Guo family."
After a thousand wears and no flattery, Guo Huai suddenly had a good impression of Huai Yang. He laughed and poured the wine for Chen Long himself and said: "I see that Brother Huai is injured, but he is still able to fight against Song Jian and the Han family." The five tigers have long been in admiration. When it comes to martial arts, I would like to ask you, what sect do you belong to, and how can you master such outstanding light kung fu?"
This time, even Ma Yunluo turned to look at Chen Long, obviously very curious about Chen Long's outstanding Qinggong. Chen Long couldn't help but smile, thinking that one day he would teach Yunluo the secrets of Qinggong, so that you can become my martial arts master. The most wonderful wife. Thinking of this, my heart softened, and I remembered the days when I practiced Qinggong hard in the cave in the tiankeng. Those days were like clouds and smoke, and they seemed like a world away. I looked into Yun Luo's eyes and said: "When I was young, I met an old immortal in the mountains. The immortal master granted a certain The skill of lightening one's body has been practiced in front of the rock wall for three years. In the past three years, I climbed over the cliffs countless times before I could fly through the clouds like a bird. As the saying goes, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." In the name of the immortal master, please I’m sorry it’s hard to express it in words.”
Ma Yunluan was fascinated by what he heard, and Sima Lang next to him had already shouted: "What a saying, 'The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold'! It suddenly dawned on me! I should do it first as a courtesy!" After saying this, he raised his glass with both hands and drank it down. Everyone raised their glasses. Celebrating together, this time even Diao Chan raised a glass to her lips and took a sip, her eyes filled with enchanted stars.
Chen Long's literary talent and military strategy will always be Diao Chan's idol. From this point of view, Diao Chan is not only Chen Long's beloved wife, but also Chen Long's crush.
After Sima Lang finished drinking, his thoughts were still lingering, as if he had come to the poetic point: "Brother Huaiyang is both civilized and military, which makes me envious. Although this sentence about plum blossoms is good, there should be a whole poem. If brother doesn't read it out, I, Sima Lang, will probably I can't sleep at night, please help me."
When Chen Long saw Ma Yunluan, he also had a look of expectation, and smiled bitterly in his heart, wanting to piracy again. At that moment, he slowly said: "If you have fields and don't cultivate them, your warehouse will be empty. If you have books and don't read them, your descendants will be foolish. The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Young people are not strong enough. After studying hard, I regret that I was late in studying.
When the book is used, I will regret it less. I will not know the difficulties until I have experienced them. "
Ma Yunluan and Sima Lang clapped almost at the same time, leading Guo Huai and Diao Chan to also clap a few times, causing a small commotion and attracting the attention of many people. Chen Long waved his hand and said: "It's just some insights into slang, not a complete poem."
After finishing the sentence, a voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Although it is slang, the truth is profound. I admire you." When everyone turned to look at the speaker, they all recognized it. It turned out to be Mr. Du Ji and Du Bohou, the patriarch of the Du family in Chang'an. . There is a young man behind him. He wears clean gray Confucian robes. He is neither tall nor short, his complexion is neither white nor black, and his eyes are shining. Du Ji introduced: "This is Du Shu, the son of a dog, with the title of Wu Bo. He once served as the minister of the Huangmen of Sanqi, and is currently at home." Du Shu behaved like a gentleman, and he was obviously a Confucian scholar.
Du Ji toasted and went away, leaving Du Shu in the small circle. Du Shu smiled and asked: "The topic just now seems to be related to the realm of life. But if we, the children of aristocratic families, work hard, we can naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but Guo Huai snorted and said, "Wu Bo's words are wrong. No matter who you are, if you study literature, you will naturally need to study hard in Hanchuang, and if you study martial arts, you will also need to practice hard for three years. Brother Huai He is also from a commoner background, but he can have such literary and military talents. This is the essence of plum blossom poetry. How can he talk about his high or low birth status?"
Du Shu couldn't help but blush, but Chen Long was moved in his heart. Guo Huai's words already had a primitive awareness of equality for everyone, and he smiled and said: "Wu Bo didn't mean that. Dare to ask Bo Ji, why is there such a chaos today? , the heroes are separatist, what does Boji think?"
This question is quite big and difficult to answer, but Guo Huai opened his mouth and answered it, obviously after many times of thinking: "Although the world is in chaos, there are several formations. Chang'an, Hefei, Luoyang, and Hanzhong are all included in this list." , and others such as Pingyuan, Xiapi, Wancheng, Xiangyang, Jiangxia, and Jiankang are also very important. If you can occupy one formation, you can naturally dominate one side. If you can occupy more than two formations, you can become a strong force. Fight for hegemony in the world. It is said that one eye dies, two eyes live, so among the forces in the world, those who can occupy more than two eyes will naturally have the best chance of successfully fighting for world hegemony."
Guo Huai's words also illustrate the importance of major cities at that time. Not only did they have sufficient population to recruit troops, but they could also become supply bases for food and baggage. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Guo Huai said. Du Shu and Sima Lang both nodded slightly and made sense.
When Ma Yunluo heard about it, he suddenly smiled and said: "So, since the Qinglong Army occupies the two formations of Chang'an and Hanzhong, it should have hope of conquering the world?" While speaking, although he looked at Guo Huai, he did not forget to glance at it. Chen Long and Diao Chan felt nervous. They couldn't hide their feelings from Ma Yunluo. They didn't know how things would develop, but Ma Yunluo didn't seem like someone who would tell the truth.
Guo Huai nodded slightly and said: "In my opinion, Cao Chen is the only one who is in conflict in the world. The other warlords will have to choose their direction sooner or later."
This sentence seemed to be earth-shattering, and everyone lowered their heads to taste the flavor of the words. Guo Huai continued: "If Cao and Chen had joined forces, I am afraid that the world would be unified ten years earlier. Unfortunately, I heard that Cao Cao is Chen Long's enemy. If they fight first, other warlords will take advantage of the opportunity, and unification is not impossible. ."
After saying that, he shook his head and said: "But no matter what, the Han Dynasty is rotten to the core! Listen to me, don't hold on to the idea of supporting Han Qinhuang anymore, and choose Mingzhu as soon as possible!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
