Different from the previous two times when he immediately went to the Battlefield of Hundreds of Worlds to verify his strength, this time Liu Xu had no intention of taking Mr. Guan to the Battlefield of Hundreds of Worlds to show off, but actually arranged for them to write a book.
Under Liu Xu's arrangement, Guan Yu, Tian Feng, as well as Soochow counselor Zhang Zhao and Cao Cao counselor Cheng Yu, who were mirrored by Liu Xu, were all assigned an important task, which was to write their memoirs, or the entire The memoirs of the forces will write down all the historical facts related to the Three Kingdoms that they remember, and these will be used by Liu Xu as the material for "The General History of the Three Kingdoms".
Liu Xu was originally a little worried, because these people were all reflected in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so the history in their minds was probably the modified and more dramatic history in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
After actual verification, Liu Xu found that this worry was half correct.
First of all, the memories of these characters have indeed been replaced. The content described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that memory comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What is not included in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that more than half of it is similar to the records in the Three Kingdoms, and the other half is different from all historical records. But according to Liu Xu, these memories that are different from the historical records make it even more interesting. In line with normal logic.
In other words, the records in official history are wrong, but their memories are correct.
One thing to say is that the recollections of these people will actually greatly increase the burden on Liu Xu himself, because he needs a lot of thinking to distinguish which of them are the revised history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and which are the real ones. History.
But the benefit is also very obvious, that is, it helps Liu Xu further improve the historical data of the entire Three Kingdoms. An increasingly specific "General History of the Three Kingdoms" has appeared in Liu Xu's mind.
"I have decided that "The General History of the Three Kingdoms" will not be written in the chronological or biographical style generally used by China!" After repeated thinking, Liu Xu compiled Tian Feng, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Yu, Cai Wenji, Guan Yu, and just now Li Ru, who was reflected, came together and said.
"It's neither a chronological nor a biographical style, so what kind of style does the lord plan to use?" Li Ru asked curiously. He had just been reflected and didn't know much about the situation, but he knew that his ability to be resurrected was entirely dependent on Liu Xu. , so the attitude is also the most positive.
Liu Xu was not in a hurry to answer this question, but instead said, "When I was studying history, I felt the biggest difficulty. The biggest difficulty I felt was how to map many specific things to adjacent ones one by one. Above the age limit.”
"Most of the Twenty-Four Histories are biographical history books, focusing on describing personal deeds. Such histories are very three-dimensional, but also very confusing, because it is difficult to pin down certain things done by certain people at the same time. Point."
"Similarly, chronological history books pay too much attention to time, but it is difficult to connect a person's life trajectory together."
"The reason why the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is more deeply rooted in people's hearts than history books is because this model is more suitable for telling the grand history of a period of time."
"So I plan to write a history book in a style, but only in terms of style, without using any exaggerated modifications or writing techniques. Every piece of history in it must be the true history that we are convinced of."
"It is difficult to write a comprehensive history of the entire period in Dan-style history books, so it must be supplemented by biographies, and some characters who appear in them will be discussed in detail in biographies."
"In addition, several different chapters such as "Clothing", "Literature", "Technology", "Geography", "Food", "Economy", "Class", "Folklore" and "Daily Life" must be added, etc., to discuss this in detail The various scenes of the market during the period and the detailed lives of the people."
"This is the "General History of the Three Kingdoms" I want to write."
"When writing it specifically, I plan to start from the first year of Jianping when Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong ascended the throne, which is 168 AD, and end with the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin, which is 280 AD, for a total of 112 years."
"And this will become a routine. When I finish writing "Chu and Han", I will publish "General History of the Western Han Dynasty". When I finish writing the biographies of heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, I will publish "General History of the Sui Dynasty" and "General History of the Tang Dynasty". Until I finish writing "Biography of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" and "General History of the Ming Dynasty"
"My ultimate goal is to write down the creation and destruction of all dynasties in China starting from the Xia Dynasty in the form of a general history. In this different world, write a five-thousand-year history of China!" Liu Xu said about these times , the whole person was very excited, even trembling with excitement, because this is his biggest dream as a doctor in the history department,
"..." Everyone here was also shocked beyond measure by Liu Xu's idea. What a terrifying idea this is, and how spectacular it would be if this idea could come true!
By then, perhaps all the famous figures in Chinese history, starting from Xia Yu and continuing to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, will be able to gather together over the past five thousand years of China. This will be so heroic and epic.
Could it be that this new lord wants to write about the entire earth?
[PS: The original title of this book was actually called "I Wrote the Whole Earth", but it didn't feel very eye-catching, so I changed it to the current name. 】
"I have a question!" When everyone present was immersed in such imagination, Mr. Guan came to spoil the atmosphere and said, "Guan just wants to know, how many "Spring and Autumn" will this book be equivalent to after it is written? "
"Spring and Autumn" is almost 20,000 words. According to my budget, "General History of the Three Kingdoms" will be at least about 20 million words, because there is so much content to be covered, and everyone has to pass it on independently, and many social and cultural aspects are also To be counted separately, 20 million words is just a conservative estimate!" Liu Xu said.
"Then my lord, have you finished writing so many things?" Guan Yu asked with admiration.
"I didn't write it, you wrote it!" Liu Xu said shamelessly, "I've thought about it, I won't be the author, I will be the CEO of this book, and we are all the creators of this book!"
"Please gentlemen, please give me a helping hand!" Liu Xu stood up and bowed to everyone present.
"My lord's ambition is as high as the sky!" Tian Feng stood up and said, "If this book is completed, it will be a work that will shock the world and make ghosts and gods cry. My lord will also become another masterpiece of the historian after Tai Shigong!"
"Tian Feng, I am willing to die in service to our lord!"
"I am willing to die in service to my lord!" Li Ru was the first to say, and then added, "I heard that there are many talented people in Soochow. Why don't you, my lord, reflect all the counselors in Soochow and let them take on the responsibility of compiling this time?" The main force of "General History of the Three Kingdoms", I can just wait for others to assist!"
Others also stood up and bowed to Liu Xu, saying that this was a good idea.
Due to various reasons, the address was changed to
