Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky screen appears.

Accompanied by a low and historical drum beat.

The map of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period slowly unfolded on the sky curtain.

The magnetic and historical voice of the sky also slowly sounded.

【Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.】

[In that era when rituals and music were in decline and the princes were fighting for hegemony. ]

[When the authority of the Zhou emperor collapsed, when the swords of the princes cut through the mask of ritual and music civilization. ]

[They used the most extreme means to carve their names into history books.]

[They are not kings, princes, generals or ministers, but they terrify emperors and generals;]

[They are not a vast army, but they can change the course of history with a dagger. ]

[They are legendary figures written into "Biographies of Assassins" by Sima Qian.]

[The cold light of Zhuan Zhu's Yuchang sword, the determination of Yu Rang swallowing charcoal and disfiguring himself, the cruelty of Nie Zheng peeling off his own skin, the desolate song of Jing Ke at Yishui, and... outside of the biographies, the madness of Yao Li cutting off his arm and killing his wife...]

[Let’s first talk about Cao Mo, the founder of assassins recognized by Sima Qian. ]

[This is a tough guy who dares to cause trouble in front of the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period. ]

[At that time, there were constant conflicts between the states of Lu and Qi in the land of Qi and Lu.]

[Cao Mo, as a general of the State of Lu, was ordered to fight against the State of Qi. ]

[But the reality was cruel. Cao Mo was defeated by Qi three times in a row. Lu had no choice but to cede land and seek peace.]

[When the alliance between Qi and Lu came, Cao Mo's unwillingness to admit defeat came to the fore.]

[In the tense atmosphere of the meeting, surrounded by Qi soldiers, Cao Mo was not afraid at all. ]

[He strode up to Duke Huan of Qi, drew out his dagger, and placed it directly on Duke Huan of Qi's neck.]

[This time, the whole audience went wild! ]

【Everyone was shocked by this sudden change. 】

[Duke Huan of Qi was so frightened that his face turned pale and he dared not even breathe.]

[Cao Mo had a serious face at this time, and righteously demanded that Duke Huan of Qi return the occupied land of Lu.]

[He said: "Qi is strong and Lu is weak, and the big country is also aggressive towards Lu. Now that the city of Lu is destroyed, it will press on Qi's territory. You should plan for it."]

[In order to save his life, Duke Huan of Qi had no choice but to agree. ]

【Afterwards, Duke Huan of Qi wanted to regret it, but was persuaded by Guan Zhong: "If a man is greedy for small gains to please himself, loses the trust of the princes, and threatens the support of the whole world, it is better to give it to them."】

[Cao Mo's move is a textbook example of an extreme counterattack.]

[He not only successfully restored the dignity and territory of Lu. ]

[And also make yourself famous in history. ]

[This is Cao Mo, an assassin who dared to draw his sword in desperate situations and rewrite history with courage and wisdom. ]

[No wonder some people wrote poems to praise him: "The weapons and armors are like the tide, and he ascends the altar with a sword in hand, full of pride. He was humiliated after three defeats in one day, and Cao is the first chivalrous man in the history of the world!"]

Outside the sky.

Late Han Dynasty.

In Gong'an Port, Liu Bei sat together with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others.

Seeing Cao Mo's story, although Liu Bei had learned this passage before, he sighed again at this time:
"This Cao Mo is truly a brave man."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and agreed, "It is indeed a courageous act to kidnap the king with the help of a minister."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded:

"Although Cao Mo's move was risky, it did save the face of Lu and recover the lost territory. However, there was also an element of luck involved."

"If he had not met Guan Zhong and Duke Huan of Qi, I'm afraid his actions would have been useless."

Zhang Fei was a little confused.

"Then why did Duke Huan of Qi obey so obediently when he was held hostage and lost face?"

Liu Bei patiently explained: "Yide, Duke Huan of Qi is determined to dominate the princes. If he breaks his promise because of a momentary anger, he will inevitably lose the trust of the world and the princes."

"He can weigh the pros and cons and abide by the agreement, which is his brilliance."

"Duke Huan of Qi kept his promise and returned the land of Lu. This is the true mind of a hegemon."

As he spoke, a glimmer of longing appeared in Liu Bei's eyes.

"If I gain control of the world, I will treat people with such trust and loyalty."

"The world will eventually be ruled by trust and loyalty. Cao Mo was brave, and Duke Huan of Qi was trustworthy. The combination of the two makes for a good story."

The sky continues.

【Let’s turn our attention to the State of Wu and look at the legendary story of Zhuan Zhu. 】

[Prince Guang of Wu wanted to kill King Liao of Wu and become the boss himself.]

【At this time, Wu Zixu appeared and recommended Zhuan Zhu to Prince Guang. 】

[Zhuan Zhu looks like a tough guy, with deep eyes, a big mouth, and a strong back.]

【But to put it bluntly, he is just a butcher. 】

[How did the butcher get close to King Liao of Wu? ]

[Who would have thought that this rough man, who held the pig's head with his left hand and the butcher knife with his right hand, would practice the skill of grilling fish for three years by the Taihu Lake? ]

[In order to assassinate King Liao of Wu, Prince Guang carefully planned a Hongmen Banquet. ]

[King Liao of Wu attended the banquet wearing triple rhinoceros armor.]

【At the banquet, the top chef Zhuan Zhu made a brilliant appearance. 】

[He had long ago hidden an extremely sharp dagger in the belly of the fish, which later became the famous Yuchang Sword.]

[Zhuan Zhu calmly walked towards King Liao of Wu, holding the fish.]

[Just as he approached King Liao of Wu, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from the fish's belly.]

[He stabbed Wu Wang Liao with lightning speed.]

[King Liao of Wu had no time to react before he was killed by this fatal blow.]

【And at the moment when Zhuan Zhu's dagger pierced the heart of King Liao of Wu.】

[Dozens of halberds pierced his chest at the same time! ]

[But his successful assassination helped Prince Guang ascend the throne, who later became King Helu of Wu. ]

[In order to thank Zhuan Zhu, Helu appointed his son as Shangqing. ]

[Zhuan Zhu's story has also become a classic chapter in the history of assassins.]

Outside the sky.

When Ying Zheng saw King Liao of Wu on the sky curtain, Ying Zheng, who had also been assassinated many times, couldn't help but feel a chill.

“Reading history can indeed make one wise.”

"Seeing this sky curtain, I am reminded of the lesson of King Liao of Wu."

"In the imperial meal of the Qin Emperor, even fish must be cut open!"

"There can't be any place to hide weapons."

While issuing the decree, Ying Zheng continued to look at the sky.

I thought to myself: Maybe I will appear on this section of the sky again?
Barrage:

"This General Cao Mo is not a good assassin. He is not good at playing the role of an assassin."

"Lu's national strength is not good, so it's normal that it can't win."

"Why does it feel like Cao Mo doesn't look like an assassin?"

"You'll have to ask Taishigong about this."

"When Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao, a comet hit the moon." "There is a Zhuan Zhu Lane in Suzhou to commemorate this assassin."

"Zhuan Zhu learns to cook fish and caters to the fisherman's taste, which shows that we should be careful about our own hobbies."

"King Liao of Wu was also unlucky to run into this group of people."

"Wang Liao treated them very well, why did they want to kill him?"

"King Liao of Wu was not trustworthy, and he was not wronged."

"Why should Zhuan Zhu do this? What do you owe others? You have to pay it back with your life."

《Leave your name in history!》

"In order to relieve Zhuan Zhu of his worries, his mother hanged herself, so that Zhuan Zhu would keep his promise and repay his kindness."

《Qi Xing! I don’t understand, but I admire our ancestors in the Spring and Autumn Period.》

The sky continues.

[Also surrounding King Helu of Wu is the legendary assassin Yaoli. ]

[Prince Guang, with the help of Zhuan Zhu, successfully ascended the throne and became King Helu of Wu.]

[However, a man named Qingji became Helu's biggest worry.]

[Qingji was the son of King Liao of Wu. He was born with supernatural powers, was brave and good at fighting, and was extremely strategic.]

[It is said that Qingji could run as fast as a horse and fight wild beasts with his bare hands.]

[He also gathered a group of loyal warriors around him, always planning to avenge his father and take back the throne. ]

Helü knew how powerful Qingji was, and was worried all day, fearing that his throne would be lost.

【At this time, Wu Zixu recommended Yaoli to Helu. 】

[Yao Li was short and looked frail, which formed a sharp contrast with the strong and powerful Qing Ji.]

[Helu was disgusted as soon as he saw it. ]

【However, Wu Zixu knew Yao Li's courage and wisdom and strongly recommended him. 】

[Yao Li knew that Qing Ji was a match for ten thousand men, and he learned from his father's lesson to guard against assassination.]

[If you want to assassinate Qingji, you must get completely close. ]

[Yao Li took the initiative to offer a self-torture plan in order to gain Qing Ji's trust.]

[In the court, Yaoli deliberately contradicted Helu, who took the opportunity to order Yaoli's right arm to be chopped off and his wife and children to be executed.]

[Yao Li suffered injustice and fled from Wu, spreading the news of He Lu's atrocities everywhere.]

[After hearing this, Qingji believed in Yaoli completely and regarded him as his confidant.]

[Yao Li followed Qing Ji around, waiting for an opportunity to act.]

[When Qingji led his troops back to the country and crossed the river, Yaoli took advantage of Qingji's unpreparedness and stabbed Qingji with all his strength with a short spear.]

[Although Qingji was seriously injured, he still had amazing strength. ]

【He fought back despite being seriously injured. 】

【Lift the Yaoli upside down and immerse it in water three times. 】

[Afterwards, Qingji looked at Yaoli and said with a wry smile: "How could there be a warrior like you in the world who dares to assassinate me!"]

[The surrounding soldiers saw this and wanted to execute Yao Li.]

[At this time, the dying Qingji waved his hands and said: "He is a warrior. Two warriors cannot die in one day. Let him go and fulfill his wish."]

[After saying this, Qingji died due to his severe injuries.]

[After completing the task, Yaoli did not feel the slightest bit of joy. ]

[On the way back, after arriving at Jiangling by boat, Yaoli was sad and frustrated and stopped going forward.]

[The people who followed him asked: "Why don't you leave?"]

Yaoli said: "Killing my wife and children to serve my lord is unkind.

【It is unjust to kill the son of the original monarch for the sake of the new monarch.】

[How can I face the wise men of the world when a person who has committed so many evil deeds still lives in this world? ”]

[After saying this, he jumped into the river, but did not die. ]

[The people who followed him rescued him.]

[Yao Li said: "How can I not die?"]

[The people who followed him said: "Don't die yet, wait until you receive the title and salary."]

[Yao Li then stuck his sword into the ground, cut off his own hands and feet, and then committed suicide.]

【Yao Li practiced his loyalty to his mission by sacrificing himself.】

[Using extreme means, he pursued the justice in his heart and fulfilled his long-cherished wish to leave his name in history. 】

If we say that there was not much controversy about Cao Mo and Zhuan Zhu before.

The controversy over leaving is huge.

Outside the sky.

When netizens saw this, they made sharp comments one after another.

"When Yaoli assassinated Qingji, a hawk was shot down from the palace. "

"Ah? You killed your entire family?"

"It's not killing, it's asking the King of Wu to order a massacre, leaving the corpses exposed in the wilderness, which is a complete loss of the bottom line of human ethics."

"Poets of Wanquanbu."

"No wonder Sima Qian looked down on Yao Li and didn't include him in the Biographies of Assassins."

"Why? For the reward? But he committed suicide afterwards."

"Yao Li was greedy for fame and stabbed Qing Ji just for fame."

"It's worth leaving your name in history!"

《The pure villain who speaks of worthiness. 》

"I can only say that he is a ruthless person, but not a normal person."

"To pursue a career is a real man!"

"What a worthless man, just chasing fame and fortune."

"Yao Li: Black and red are also red."

"Yao Li has a bad character, and Wu Zixu has an even worse character."

"Among the four great assassins, Wu Zixu contributed two, Zhuan Zhu assassinated Wang Liao, and Yao Li assassinated Qing Ji. "

"I don't know if Yaoli is a villain, but compared to him, Qingji's actions are those of a true man."

"It's a pity for Qingji, a man with super strong fighting power."

"Yao Li is so extreme, maybe it's because he wants to die for his friend?"

"Anyone who has read history books would not say this. Helu despised Yaoli so much that he showed no appreciation for her. "

"Wu Zixu saw through Yao Li and knew that he was a ruthless person who would do anything to become famous."

"He is a warrior but not a real man. He is a villain but can be used."

"It's hard to say what a pure person is, but I was really shocked when I read this in history books."

"According to today's view, Yaoli is rubbish."

"In ancient times, righteousness was valued. In order to live up to Wu Zixu, Yao Li had no choice but to be ruthless."

"The key is that Helu himself is not good enough. It is really not worth it for such a thing."

"We cannot use today's moral standards to measure the behavior of people back then. I think the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written in the Ming Dynasty has a lot of confusing behavior, not to mention the people in the pre-Qin era." (End of this chapter)
