Chapter 384: Beyond the Times

"Lu Zijing..."

When he read the name again, Liu Bei felt very complicated.

I was impressed by his vast wisdom, but also regretted that Marquis Sun had good talents but did not use them.

Such complex feelings can be summed up in one sentence:

It's a pity that good materials and beautiful jade cannot be used by me.

I once missed Lu Xun when I was in Jiangdong because I didn't know his real name. Even now, I don't feel regretful.

After all, if you think about it seriously, Lu Xun is quite similar to Chen Yuanlong. He has a family to worry about, and he is not favored by Jiangdong or rarely favors him.

But as a close participant in the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei knew exactly what Lu Su was.

Moreover, during the previous battle of Jingxiang, I also heard from Jiangdong afterwards that it was Lu Zijing’s bloody remonstrance in Jiangdong’s attack on Hefei that finally allowed the army to do so.

But in the end, the 100,000 troops under Hefei City were defeated by Zhang Liao's 8,000 cavalry, leaving the entire Jiangdong in silence.

So some people complained privately, saying that if Lu Zijing hadn't gone his own way, why would there have been such a humiliating defeat?

Liu Bei did not comment on this news. He could only lament that the big names in Jiangdong had no foresight. It was really no joke to say that they were like rats.

But at this moment, seeing his elder brother sighing, Zhang Fei, who thought he was quite observant, jumped out at that moment:

"Brother, why do you need to be sad? I am willing to lead my troops to Jiangdong and capture Lu Yi to put my brother's depression at ease!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao was unwilling to be outdone and immediately asked for orders:

"Although I am not good at water fighting, if Duke Xuande gives me orders, I will definitely do it!"

Then Liu Bei saw that before he could speak, the two generals on the horse started to tit for tat, as if they really planned to attack Jiangdong.

So any sad thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he immediately said out of breath:

"When Guanzhong is employing people, we still need to look to the Western Regions, conquer the Central Plains, and conquer the northern barbarians. Moreover, Guanzhong is dilapidated and needs manual repairs and management everywhere. Why go to Jiangdong?"

"And now there are Zilong, Jiang Wan, and Zhang Yi in Jiangling, and there is even Gangui leading the navy to cross the river and make waves. What do you do?"

The two people's thoughts were calmed down by cutting the knot with a quick knife. Liu Bei had only one sigh at this time:

Adou is much less worried than you!

On the other side, Pang Tong moved over, dipped his finger in tea and wrote two names on the table in front of Kong Ming.

Fazheng on the side could see clearly: Gan Yi, Lu Meng.

Along with Jiang Wan's letter, Zhang Ni's handwriting was sent, and Xuande Gong read this news to them all.

These two names come from Zhang Yi's letters, saying that he was a disciple of Shi Xie, with outstanding intelligence and persuasive bearing.

But Jiaozhou is almost a foreign land, and it is difficult to find talented people. The three or two people who have risen to prominence are all immigrants from the Central Plains. Have you ever heard of such a name?

Moreover, Pang Tong felt that these two surnames and first names did not look like real names, so he wrote them down to see what Kong Ming thought.

Kong Ming was looking at the tea in a daze.

Then he slowly turned his head and said:

"I haven't had a sip of this tea yet."

Then Pang Tong's face turned slightly red for a rare moment.

After joking, Kong Ming nodded slightly and said:

"Most of them are fake names. Who they are, you will know after you meet them."

Acting under a pseudonym is nothing new, and Kong Ming has no intention of exploring it.

However, like Pang Tongyi, there was also a vague guess in his heart, but this guess was too nonsense.

And if his identity is what he thinks, then Xu Shu, who is closer, should never make the beautiful jade dusty.

Kong Ming was very convinced.

However, once again seeing later generations grieving over Guan Yu's death, Pang Tong also felt a little more sad:

"If he crossed the river in white clothes and made a surprise attack on Cao's army, it would be commendable."

"However, such behavior... it brings bad luck to Cao Cao."

Pang Tong showed disapproval, even contempt.

After all, the Han people value righteousness and chivalry and praise those who honor their promises.

On the other hand, there is nothing but contempt for such acts of breach of promise and trust.

This three-sigh comment from the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty also made everyone sigh with emotion.

Zhang Fei also became serious at this moment:

"Brother, now that Guanzhong has been pacified, why don't you let me go to the second brother's tent and take orders?"

Kong Ming looked over and smiled:

"Yide, if you go again, if Cao Cao's thieves yell at Tongguan, who can fight?"

"Zhong Miao is good at defense, but in terms of rushing into battle to kill the enemy and rousing the troops, Yide is still needed."

So Zhang Fei sat down happily and glanced at Ma Chao, making him envious.

After all, it makes sense that when Zhang Fei and Pang Tong first entered Yongliang, Ma Chao could still be regarded as half the master, and he could still be the leader of the army.

Now that they both work under Xuande's account, Zhang Yide, a black guy, doesn't have any humility at all.

Moreover... the light screen said it briefly, but Ma Chao could roughly understand what happened.

Just because he doesn't like to use his brain doesn't mean he doesn't have a good brain.

These few words actually made Ma Chao a little envious of Xuande Gong's brotherhood of life and death.

This is exactly what he lacks the most, and his discord with his father can be described as Yongliang Zhizhi.

Now that the three brothers like Mr. Xuande can support each other...the only thing Ma Chao can think of is his clan brother.

…

Li Shimin put Cao Pi's words aside for the time being.

At this time, looking at the emotions of later generations, he also sighed and said:

"Great grace and grace...there are also heroes in the east of the Yangtze River."

He has also read "Three Kingdoms", but he can't remember what he thought when he read it.

But now seeing the younger generation sighing and commenting like this, he even felt a little envious.

After all, this junior named Wen Mang mentioned Tang a lot in his words, and generally praised this emperor.

But there has been no such positive evaluation and final conclusion of Lu Zijing, which made him curious.

"From this point of view, why not follow the example of later generations and write a play about the Three Kingdoms?"

Fang Xuanling turned his head and asked.

At present, Fang Xuanling's position is the Minister of Rites, so this question is also part of his job.

Du Ruhui nodded hastily, and he was sighing at the words he copied down.

"World War..."

Just from the literal meaning, we know that this is a war that affects the world.

Before this, the juniors did not shy away from talking about wars in the future, such as the invasion of China by the barbarians, and the aid to the Korean Peninsula, which is in danger of losing its lips and teeth, etc.

At that time, they had guessed that the scope of war in the future might not be what they could imagine at this time.

But this is the first time that the word "world war" has been formally proposed.

They had all experienced the tragic battle for supremacy in the Central Plains at the end of the Sui Dynasty, so they all understood the cruelty of war.

"The war that affected the world, and not just once."

Du Ruhui turned around and saw Li Shimin standing behind him, and these words also came from his mouth.

Then Du Ruhui saw that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty turned his head to the left, where a map copied from later generations was hung, which was Li Shimin's favorite treasure now.

"When I first saw the vastness of the world, the idea that came to my mind was to return it all to the king."

Li Shimin's voice was very light, as if he had just eaten sweet and sour fish today, but the content of his words made Fang Du feel more pressured.

If their emperor insisted on doing so, I am afraid they might not be able to stop him.

Li Shimin did not discuss this idea in depth. He smiled and said:

"The military power of later generations is far beyond our imagination. All kinds of means are no different from those of immortals."

"Under such circumstances, it would be strange if no one wanted to conquer the world and claim to be... the emperor of the earth."

After the dull evaluation, Li Shimin remembered Cao Pi's sigh again:

"I know about the affairs of Shun and Yu."

Doing whatever you want is the right brought by the position of emperor. The wise can restrain themselves, and the arrogant will inevitably act recklessly.

That is why Li Shimin is now very careful in teaching Li Chenggan.

This view of later generations that far exceeds this Tang Dynasty is not entirely a grace from heaven.

Just like this world map, if it falls into the hands of Emperor Yang, I am afraid that his relative will have to raise a fleet to expedition to Europe...

These experiences are easy for emperors to cause disasters to the world if they are not self-controlled.

Li Shimin's personal evaluation made everyone in Ganlu Hall silent, and then they also felt creepy.

All kinds of means in later generations are unimaginable, and the casualties caused by them are probably even more unimaginable.

"So, we should make our Tang Dynasty stand in the world, bless the younger generation, and make them not afraid of powerful enemies from all directions."

Li Shimin also expressed his simple thoughts in his light words.

Fang, Du, and all the ministers bowed their hands to accept the order.
