Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 157 The enemy's dark history needs to be spread

In the winter of the late Han Dynasty, the winter plum blossoms were just beginning to bloom, and Xing Daorong's mansion was filled with joy.

The stone bridge in the mansion was covered with a red carpet, and big red lanterns were hung in the houses on both sides, swaying in the wind.

On the ancient stage, the melodious sounds of opera add endless excitement and joy to the day.

Having said that, it is rare to have a drama troupe these days. I wonder where they found Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao.

However, this kind of troupe does not perform opera, but rather an acrobatic show. The music and dance are used to create a lively atmosphere and are called "角迪戏".

It includes various acrobatics and magic tricks such as finding the tripod, searching for the tower, swallowing the knife, spitting fire, music and dance with costumed characters, "Fish and Dragon Manyan" with costumed animals, and "Huang Gong of the East China Sea" with a simple story.

However, although Xing Daorong found the performance somewhat boring, the others were watching it with great interest.

Bao Long, Mi Fang and Cui Yan, as if they had no home of their own, gathered in Xing Daorong's mansion to watch the show.

Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao were watching the show with great interest, and even applauded when the show came to the exciting parts.

Xing Daorong was wearing a brocade robe, with no expression on his face. Bao Long, who was watching him, couldn't help but ask, "General, do you find this boring?"

Cui Yan was listening on the other side and smiled, "Zi Yu has been away from home fighting for many years, so he naturally finds these tricks boring, but from our point of view, they are quite entertaining."

Xing Daorong was not very interested in those acrobatics, but he was quite interested in the plain story "Huang Gong of the East China Sea".

The story of Huang Gong of the East China Sea is very simple. It tells the story of a man named Huang Gong who was able to resist and subdue snakes and tigers through magic when he was young. However, when he got old, due to physical exhaustion and excessive drinking, his magic failed and he was eventually killed by a white tiger.

It's just a pure folk tale.

For Xing Daorong, who had heard of "Journey to the West" and other trivial stories, he had no interest at all in these stories without any twists, foreshadowing or climax.

But he is not interested in the content, but he is interested in the situation!
Opera is not only the most popular among the common people, but it seems that the wealthy and powerful also love it.

In this case…the content of the story is very important.

If there is a "good story", shouldn't it be spread so that everyone knows it?
Then he could write some good stories for these people, especially about...Cao Cao's dark history.

...

After the show, the people on the stage bowed and thanked the performers for their tips.

Xing Daorong called Fan Yufeng over and gave her some instructions.

Fan Yufeng looked a little surprised when she heard this, but she still nodded seriously.

He turned around and said to the troupe on the stage: "Everyone, don't leave after you get off the stage. We still have some important matters to discuss."

The troupe found it novel, but they didn't know what they could discuss with them. Seeing that they had no choice and that the other party had no ill intentions, they nodded in response and just waited.

Bao Long and Mi Fang had no idea what Xing Daorong had to talk about with the opera troupe.

But this has nothing to do with them, today they just want to have some fun.

Cui Yan, on the other hand, thought for a moment, as if something had occurred to him, and immediately asked, "Zi Yu, are you going to make up stories for this troupe?"

Xing Daorong realized what Cui Yan said was right at once, but he couldn't help but look at him twice.

I thought this guy was really smart.
His expression was noncommittal, but he said, "Mr. Cui, do you have a story in your mind that you want to share?"

Cui Yan waved his hand and said, "I don't have any stories in my mind. This matter has to be handed over to Zi Yu."

Even Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao asked, "My dear, what is the story? Would you like us to listen to it?"

have to.

Exposed by Cui Yan's words, everyone knew what their plan was.

Xing Daorong said helplessly: "Okay, okay, everyone listen!"

Everyone immediately became interested. They dismantled the stage and gathered around the stove. They were not afraid of the cold weather outside and listened to Xing Daorong's story.

"Legend has it that in ancient Kyushu, there was a man who was lazy and not good at hunting."

"I happened to be hunting outside that day, and I saw a fox being chased by a big beast. I immediately raised an arrow and shot it at the beast." "The beast was just chasing the fox, but it didn't see the arrow coming from me. As luck would have it, the arrow hit the beast right in the middle, killing it!"

"The fox escaped that day, but the man became famous in the village and was known as the Good Hunter."

"Since then, his reputation has spread, and hunters in the village are willing to hunt with him."

"But the hunter himself knew that his arrow was purely a matter of luck."

"But since the villagers thought so, he would not tell them about it himself. He just thought that he was a man who could shoot a big tiger."

As soon as Xing Daorong started talking, Bao Long immediately expressed his opinion: "This guy doesn't explain clearly. Isn't he going to hurt people in the future?"

Xing Daorong didn't blame Bao Long for interrupting, and continued, "That's right. One's abilities must be known to others. That day, the man came into the mountains again and wanted to kill a big tiger. Everyone told him to shoot it, but he shot several arrows in a row, but none of them even touched the skin."

"The big insect rushed into the crowd and bit everyone to death."

"Just when the danger was just around the corner, an old man appeared and shot the beast in the heart with one arrow."

Bao Long cursed: "That guy is really lucky!"

Cui Yan asked, "Does that person want to thank the old man?"

Xing Daorong smiled sinisterly and said, "No, that man saw that everyone around him was dead, except for the old man in front of him. He immediately became ruthless and thought to himself that if this matter got back, he would be ruined!"

"I immediately became ruthless and took advantage of the old man's unpreparedness to kill him with a knife."

"If God asked him why, he would say: 'I would rather let others down than be let down by others'!"

When Cui Yan heard this, he said to himself, "As expected!"
Isn't this just being ungrateful?
But the last sentence, “I would rather let others down than be let down by others,” is too targeted.

Bao Long seemed to have no idea where this came from. He just stood up and cursed: "Bah! This guy is so shameless!"

Isn’t this exactly the effect Xing Daorong wants!

Seeing Bao Long's anger, Xing Daorong laughed and said, "Bao Long, do you know who said this?"

Bao Long looked at Xing Daorong, but his face was confused.

How would he know where this was said?

Hanhan touched his head and said, "General, I am not well-educated, and your meticulousness really makes it difficult for me."

Xing Daorong couldn't help but laugh at Bao Long's silly look, and finally said without further ado: "That's what Cao Mengde said!"

Bao Long didn't care about Cao Mengde and Sun Zhongmou at all. He just cursed: "Cao Mengde is so shameless that he can say such words. I don't know what the guys who follow him think."

That’s so true!
Xing Daorong laughed loudly and said, "That's right! If everyone in the world were like you, Brother Bao, who knew propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, how could our Han Dynasty be so precarious?"

"Whatever, if you can see that he has turned back, that's good enough."

As he said this, he turned to the troupe and asked, "Can you write a play like this?"

The troupe looked at each other and said, "We can do it, but it will take some time."

Xing Daorong said: "It's okay, write it carefully, I have many more stories."

When Cui Yan saw this, he realized that this was an attempt to expose all of Cao Cao’s “black spots”.

If this really spread throughout the world, I'm afraid that some people from aristocratic families would also have some shame.

Cui Yan was concerned about the Han Dynasty, and at this moment he hoped that everyone could "turn back" like him. He thought Xing Daorong's method was not bad.

even
It is more powerful than a manifesto.

After all, this opera is easy to understand. If it is widely spread, it may damage Cao Cao's reputation, which will have some impact.
