Chapter 659 The last struggle
Oh, by the way, the original author of this Chinese painting is Guo Jia, but most historians believe that this was probably added by a deceased fan of Jia Shen in ancient times. You should know that Guo Jia is considered to be Liu Bei's rival, so how could he paint himself and praise Liu Bei for his praises! Of course, the premise is that Guo Jia has the ability to paint.
However, many historians do not argue about whether Guo Jia has the ability to paint. After all, many deeds prove that Guo Jia's literary talent is very outstanding. In addition, Guo Jia has also become a disciple of Cai Yong and married Cai Wenji as his wife. If Guo Jia is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is not impossible.
As for why no one thought of flooding Xia Pi? Just kidding, when flooding Xia Pi, our cute uncle Liu has always been a staunch opponent, so how could the strange scene on the picture appear? This is simply unscientific, right! So, this should be the exaggerated sketching technique when Liu Bei was taken away by Lu Bu or Cao Cao!
Let's not mention the following story,
This time, Liu Bei's persuasion of surrender ended in failure again. The fundamental reason may be difficult to say, but this superficial reason is very clear. Liu Bei thought he had failed, but in fact he had no one to say anything, and then left directly, so naturally he failed.
Of course, no one knows the truth at present. Later, after Xia Pi surrendered, Cao Cao and Guo Jia heard about this, and they laughed for a long time. Even after returning to Xudu, Guo Jia dictated and guided him, and Cai Wenji finally completed such a masterpiece of Chinese painting. Soon, Cao Cao heard about this matter and found someone to copy it, and took it back to secretly appreciate it from time to time. It was also because of Cao Cao's collection that the template of this painting was passed down.
The water flooded Xia Pi. As time went by, the conflicts in the city became more and more acute. Since Lu Bu was always unwilling to open the city gate and let the people in the city go out to escape, it can be said that there were several small-scale riots every day. Moreover, not only the conflicts between ordinary people and Lu Bu became more and more acute, but the conflicts between the soldiers at the bottom and the seniors gradually escalated.
Life becomes more and more difficult. Food becomes less and less. Then the bottom-class soldiers are the ones who are at the brunt of the brunt and their interests are cut. Compared to before, I am more suffering now, and no one will be happy with this situation. However, if the officers can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers below at this time, the conflict will probably be a little smaller.
Of course, that is just to alleviate the contradictions, not completely eliminate the contradictions. Once time goes by, even if it is shared with joys and sorrows, no one is willing to continue suffering with you. Share with joys and sorrows, share with joys and sorrows, and share with sorrows, and not always suffers, but without sorrows.
As a result, now, because Cao Cao is unlikely to fight under this situation, without foreign enemies and war. The officers have nothing to do all day long and can only stay on standby. It is conceivable that when the soldiers are still soaking in the water all day, the generals are eating, drinking and having fun at home. Even if you don’t eat, drink and having fun, you are worrying about the country and the people, as long as you stay at home, others will think you are enjoying your time.
When the soldiers below can eat and drink and sleep soundly, no matter how you eat, drink and have fun, others will not have much opinion. But when others are suffering, you are still no different from usual, and you are even more leisurely than usual. Such a huge unfairness can definitely inspire huge contradictions!
Therefore, during this period, a small group of soldiers snatched the doors in Xia Pi City. Although they were eventually suppressed, from point to surface, you can imagine what the scene is like in Xia Pi City today.
It can be said that, including some senior generals, there is no desire to fight at all. In addition to Lu Bu, oh no, even Lu Bu. It turns out that during this period, Lu Bu was addicted to alcohol and sex for a while! It was definitely unexpected when I heard it, but if I think about it carefully, it was reasonable.
Although Lu Bu is warlike, but in this situation, there is no way to fight at all. Moreover, even if you don’t want to fight, it will be difficult to run around the city. In this way, Lu Bu can only go anywhere, stay at home, and observe the direction of the situation. So, for Lu Bu, a person who may be called ADHD, has so much energy and has no place to spend. Stay at home all day, besides doing something that loves to do, what else can Lu Bu do? Can he rely on his brain to come up with solutions? After thinking for a long time, he can’t think of anything, and he feels even more depressed. So, apart from being addicted to alcohol and sex, what else can Lu Bu do?
"Fengxian, it's not a solution to continue like this now!" Chen Gong came to Lu Bu, "I think we should send someone to break out and ask for help from Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, otherwise we might not be able to hold on." Chen Gong said.
Lu Bu seemed a little stunned and couldn't help but say,
"Shouldn't Yuan Shao take the initiative to save us?!"
It turns out that Lu Bu has always been thinking this way, so he is so calm. Of course, this is what Chen Gong said at the beginning. After all, normal circumstances, Yuan Shao would never wait to see Cao Cao easily annex Xuzhou. Whether he besieged Wei to save Zhao or directly sent troops to aid, Chen Gong believed that Yuan Shao should help Lu Bu. Lu Bu felt that what Chen Gong said made sense, so he was always full of confidence. Lu Bu believed that as long as he could persist, he could drag Cao Cao back down!
I have to say that Lu Bu is indeed a little lazy now. Could Lu Bu have such a passive and persistent idea?
"We have been staying in an isolated city all the time. No information can be transmitted from outside. Maybe something has happened. Even for the sake of safety, we should send people out to ask for help at this time. If necessary, we must even promise some benefits. In short, we will overcome this difficulty first." Chen Gong advised.
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu woke up a little and understood how serious the current situation was. Lu Bu couldn't help but slapped his head,
"Oh no! I was actually misled by the wine and sex. From today on, I will be aware of it!"
"This is not bad. Now that the city is full of resentment, it is best to place a ban on alcohol directly!" Chen Gong immediately suggested. In this way, some conflicts should be alleviated so that people don't feel that the top leaders above are drinking and having fun all day long.
Lu Bu naturally agreed to Chen Deng’s proposal immediately. Just kidding, Lu Bu stopped drinking by himself, why can others still drink? If you want to quit, give me all the quit!
Lu Bu was discussing with Chen Gongzheng, and Lu Bu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said,
"Since we can break through and send people out for help, why don't we just break through directly?"
In this place where birds do not shit, Lu Bu was flooded all day long, so he was also depressed.
