Xuande

Chapter 388 The Road to Shu is Difficult!

Yizhou people are of course willing to pay for high-quality educational resources, even if the price is very expensive, it will make them feel pain and even hurt their muscles and bones.

But if you can catch up with Liu Bei's relationship and board the official train, then the price is definitely worth it, even super value.

They gave Liu Bei grain, Liu Bei silk cloth, Liu Bei brocade, Liu Bei rare treasures, and Liu Bei five baht.

As long as Liu Bei is willing to accept their children into Liangzhou state school, and give a little special attention.

They don't lack these things, they have many channels to get these things, but they have no channels to get what Liu Bei has mastered.

So he came to Yizhou to fight a battle. Liu Bei hardly put any money into it, and he also gained some valuable things for Liu Bei.

There was no need to sell salt to Shuzhong at all, and Liu Bei basically achieved his goal.

As for the matter of selling salt to central Sichuan, Liu Bei decided to put it on hold for the time being. It will be enough to talk to Liu Hong and Zhang Rang at that time, and there is no need for practical operation for the time being. Yes, there is no need to transport it all the way.

During the entire schedule in central Shu, Liu Bei didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The attitude of Shu people towards Liu Bei is very warm.

If you want to say that something is wrong, there is only one family that is full of disgust towards Liu Bei.

The Zhang family in Chengdu, Shu County, Gongyang Spring and Autumn Inheritance Family, lost the status of the Fanyue family because of Liu Bei's hard work. One of the families that suffered heavy losses, it is only natural that they feel disgusted with Liu Bei.

But because of Liu Bei's current status and power, as well as the power of winning the battle in Shu, Zhang did not dare to do anything to Liu Bei.

It is worth mentioning that although the Zhang family has lost the status of the Fanyue family, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. In Shu County and even the entire Yizhou, the Zhang family is still a well-known big family and has a lot of economic power. Interests, with relatively large local power.

Even so, they didn't dare to do anything to Liu Bei. The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one. For Liu Bei, a general who entered Yizhou to quell the rebellion with a heavy army, they wisely retreated and did not openly embarrass Liu Bei.

Otherwise, they are not sure whether Liu Bei will do something to them with the power and soldiers in his hands.

Even if it's just a little bit, I'm afraid it will make them feel very uncomfortable.

And the reason why Liu Bei knew that they were full of malice was because there were rumors in Chengdu that the Zhang family was dissatisfied with Liu Bei, and they said a lot of bad things about Liu Bei in private, calling him a heir of a fake school or something.

Regarding this, Liu Bei laughed it off and put on a magnanimous look.

"When I look at people, I don't listen to words, but look at actions. What's the point of speaking quickly? The ancients knew that guarding against people's mouths is better than guarding against rivers. How can I block other people's private communication? What do they want to say? , say what you want, I don't care."

When people heard about it, they all admired Liu Bei's mind.

But Liu Bei didn't have to pursue it, but there were many Yizhou locals who had successfully established relationships with Liu Bei and were eager to please him.

The general trend is with Liu Bei, and they can't even guarantee that the words in the private house will not be spread, let alone the anger of outsiders?
Liu Bei didn't care about the loser.

At the beginning of July, the middle of Sichuan was extremely hot.

Liu Bei has almost completed the goal he wanted to accomplish. The bamboo that needs to be felled has almost been cut, and the team that should set off has also almost set off. He is already the last group of people to leave Shuzhong.

So Liu Bei decided to bid farewell and leave Shuzhong. A large group of Shuzhong celebrities headed by Gao Xuan sent Liu Bei [-] miles north of Chengdu, and then reluctantly watched Liu Bei leave.

After setting foot on his way home, Liu Bei wanted to make a perfect summary of his journey to Sichuan this time, and then gain a wave of fame, reshape his image in front of his subordinates, and increase everyone's admiration for him.

Therefore, he gave full play to the stinky and shameless spirit of Wen Chaogong, and reproduced "The Difficult Road to Shu" by Your Excellency Shixian.

This poem inherits the old title of Yuefu, uses romantic techniques, and develops rich imagination, which perfectly fits the personality of a romantic poet Liu Bei created for himself in Luoyang back then.

Although Liu Bei doesn't do it often, he has long since lost his worries about the copying of literature. Unless His Excellency Shixian also crosses over, otherwise, no one will trouble him.

So, I'm sorry, Your Excellency Shixian, I would like to lend you a hand!
After arriving at Baishuiguan, while the entourage took a short rest, Liu Bei took a group of subordinates to board the tower of Baishuiguan.

"I have seen the difficulty of the Shu road along the way, and I have walked under my feet. It is so difficult for people to march through today. How did the ancients who did not even have today's road in those days managed to pass between these mountains and rocks? Who opened up these paths?"

Facing the subordinates who followed him in numbers, Liu Bei raised this question.

Yan Wen has a wide range of knowledge, so he answered.

"According to legend, the golden bull road we walked was opened by the king of Shu in the ancient Shu Kingdom. At that time, the king of Shu already had a place to praise the Han. When he was hunting, he met King Hui of Qin, and the two got acquainted. , Later, the state of Qin was going to attack the state of Shu, but the road to Shu was extremely difficult, and the Qin army could not pass through, so someone offered advice to King Hui of Qin.

So King Hui placed several stone oxen at the place where the two kings met, and put some gold under the tail of the stone oxen, threatening that the stone oxen could pull out gold. At that time, the road was difficult and dangerous, and the stone cattle could not be transported.

So the king of Shu ordered Wuding Lishi to lead more than a thousand people to dig mountains and open roads to meet the cattle, and the Golden Bull Road came into being. The basis for unifying the world from Hangu Pass in the east. "

Liu Bei smiled.

"In this way, is the Golden Bull Way the root cause of the demise of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

"The legend of later generations cannot be regarded as true."

Yan Wen smiled, and said slowly: "How can there be a king who entrusts military and state affairs to such a thing? The construction of the Shu road is nothing more than the Shu people and the Qin people wanting to communicate with each other, and of course the Shu people I also know the danger of digging roads, so I set up many checkpoints."

Yan Wen stretched out his hand and patted the bricks and stones closed by Baishui, sighing very much.

"But we still find it difficult to walk on the Shu Road. How much manpower and material resources did we spend supervising the construction of these passes and military towns? Difficult, let alone the ancients."

Yan Wen sighed, and everyone also sighed deeply.

Jia Xu, Xun You, Xun Yu, Han Hao... they were all sighing.

"But this road is still open after all. After all, there are more than one roads that can go out in Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away."

Liu Bei smiled and patted the bricks and stones closed by Baishui: "There is no road in the world. When there are more people walking, there will be a road. The key lies in people, not in danger. There is nothing difficult in the world. As long as you are willing to climb, the ancients took one step at a time. After excavating the road to Shu, our generation can create miracles step by step, all gentlemen, encourage each other!"

"only!"

All the subordinates bowed their hands and saluted Liu Bei, their eyes full of reverence.

Well, the chicken soup is full, and now you can start post-meal exercise.

Liu Bei laughed.

"But speaking of it, the difficulty of the Shu Road is really unforgettable. After walking it once, I don't want to walk it a second time. If I have to walk it a second time, how difficult is it? Ladies and gentlemen, the Shu Road It is more difficult than going to the blue sky!"

Saying this, Liu Bei turned his back to everyone, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Hey, the danger is so high! The road to Shu is as difficult as going to the blue sky!"

Everyone was puzzled by Liu Bei's meaning, and they were about to ask, when Liu Bei spoke again.

"Cancong and yufu, how at a loss was the founding of the country!"

"You are [-] years old, and you will not live with Qin Sai!"

"Xidang Taibai has a bird path, which can cross the Emei peak! The earth collapses and destroys the strong men to death! Then the ladders and stone stacks are connected!"

"On the top there is the high mark of the six dragons returning to the sun, and on the bottom there is the rushing and turning back to Sichuan. The yellow cranes cannot fly, and the apes want to escape their sorrows and climb for help!"

"What a plate of green mud, hundreds of steps and ten folds of lingering rocks, go to the Lijing well, raise your breath, touch your hands and sit and sigh..."

While patting the bricks of Baishuiguan, Liu Bei paced slowly under the gaze of everyone, one step at a time, one step at a time.

Catchy words and sentences came out of his mouth one after another, his voice was loud and full of energy.

"When will the great army return after a hundred battles? I'm afraid of the road and the rocks can't be climbed, but I saw the ancient tree of the mourning bird, male and female flying around the forest, and I heard Zigui crying at the moon at night, worrying about the empty mountain!"

"The difficulty of the road to Shu is harder than going to the blue sky! Let people listen to this withered beauty!"

"The sky is not full of peaks, the withered pines hang upside down against the cliffs, the turbulent waterfalls compete for noise, and the cliffs turn into rocks and thunder! The danger is the same. People who are far away from you are doing nothing!"

Word by word, Liu Bei walked slowly, and the words and sentences came out of his mouth, as if nothing could stop him from expressing his feelings for the Shu Road in his heart.

The subordinates had already been fascinated, and they couldn't help but followed Liu Bei's footsteps and moved forward slowly.

Ruan Yu, the number one fan, was even more blushing, unable to contain her excitement, only seeing Liu Bei's figure in her eyes, only Liu Bei's majestic voice in her ears, and only passionate emotions in her heart.

This is the first time he has witnessed his idol speak out with his own eyes, pouring out such magnificent fantasies and majestic words.

And it was right in front of his eyes!
He witnessed it all with his own eyes!
After Liu Bei had poured everything out, Ruan Yu couldn't help herself. He stepped up to Liu Bei, blushed and knelt down in front of him, took out a stack of bamboo paper that he carried with him, raised his hands, unfold in front of you.

"Your Majesty! Please also please write the book you just made on paper! Please give me a calligraphy so that Yu can have a look at it! If you can't, Yu will be devoured like ten thousand ants! You will die here!"

As Ruan Yu said this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he actually cried in front of Liu Bei, crying very loudly, and broke down.

Was he actually devastated by Shixian's talent to such an extent?
Li Taibai, you are truly a rare genius in the world!
While sighing with emotion, Liu Bei nodded brazenly, asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and under the reverent gaze of everyone, he finished the song "The Road to Shu" on the paper in one go.

Then he wrote down the name of [Liu Bei] without shame.

After finishing writing, Ruan Yu held the poem with trembling hands, looked at the powerful words with a frantic expression, and tears kept pouring out.

He felt infinitely excited that he had witnessed this scene that would go down in history.

The rest of the crowd stepped forward to watch, looking enviously at Liu Bei's hand-written calligraphy, with greedy eyes, all of which revealed the desire to take it for themselves.

But Ruan Yu firmly grasped this "calligraphy", while admiring it, he scanned the unfriendly crowd around him with extremely cautious eyes, as if he knew very well what these guys were thinking, and slowly distanced himself from them .

Want this calligraphy?

Yes, step over my dead body!

At this time, only Jia Xu walked to Liu Bei's side at the right time, took the pen from Liu Bei's hand, and then quietly stuffed the pen into the sleeve.

He thought he had done it very secretly, but Xun You came to him with a smile on his face.

"Jia Canjun, although that pen is not a valuable item, it was used by the prince. You have kept it private, is there something wrong? Why don't you take out that pen and give it to everyone to see? "

Jia Xu squinted at Xun You.

"Xun Canjun was joking. I see that Junhou has not washed this pen after using it. He is going to help him clean it. After washing, he will return it to Junhou."

Xun You continued to smile with that superficial smile.

"Hahahaha, Jia Canjun really knows how to share the worries of the monarch, but such a small matter, let's leave it to the next person to finish. Jia Canjun has a lot of things to do every day, isn't there?"

Jia Xu also showed the same smile.

"Xun Canjun also has a lot of things to do. Although Xun Canjun served the prince a little later than me, there are still many things to do. Leave these small things to me."

The two squinted at each other and looked at each other, and they both clearly understood the real purpose of each other's actions.

As the instigator of all this, the brazen Mr. Liu Xuande is still complacent, feeling very happy for his flawless performance.

He knew that his charisma as a leader had been exhausted at this moment.

For these elite subordinates who have greater emotional needs in addition to interests, in addition to creating a fair and strict image of a strong protagonist, they also need to create an image of a charming man, so that their loyalty can be maintained to the maximum extent.

The existence of the metaphysics of charm is difficult to explain clearly, but once it is possessed, it will have an even more incredible and strong attraction to the elite talents under its command.

Political games in the real world are much more difficult than video games. Loyalty cannot be filled by rewards. Elites need a lot of things, which are complicated and mysterious. If they cannot satisfy them, they will become dissatisfied and fall apart.

But for Mr. Liu Xuande who has the ability to cheat, maybe it's not that difficult.
