three kings

Chapter 213 Gambling in the Central Plains

Xu Shu couldn't refute Sun Can's words. Sun Can was right. Ever since he surrendered to Liu Bei, what he thought about was how Liu Bei should develop and how he should grow. He never thought about whether Liu Bei could rule the world, because under his Subconsciously, only Liu Bei is qualified to rule the world and be the master of the world.As for how many years it will take and what the people are like, he doesn't even think about it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, but once it was explained, Xiang Xu Shu, a benevolence-based person, felt very uncomfortable and very embarrassed.

After all, a person who is determined to save the people suddenly realizes that what he did will bring endless slaughter to the world, and the feeling is beyond words.

It is not a good thing to be too clear about some things. It is rare to be confused, but Xu Shu is too smart. Although Sun Can's words are blunt and boastful in some places, they are true.

The world is in chaos, and the casualties of the people are certain.Only after the baptism of war can we welcome a new life.Only the unification of the world can end the disputes. Xu Shu understood this truth when he came out of the mountain, but he only considered the result, but did not consider the process.I just thought about how beautiful the people would be after the unification of the world, but never thought about how miserable the people would be before the unification of the world, or how to unify the world as soon as possible.

According to the situation in front of him, Yuan Shaona's personality is stern and cowardly, and he treats the people like pigs and dogs. It can be ignored, but Sun Can is really the number one prince.

No matter how Liu Bei develops, it is impossible to reach the point where Sun Can is.No matter how good the luck is, if he wants to rule the world without soldiers and power, it will take at least five or sixty years, and the gap is not even a tiny bit.In the past 60 years, how many people have died, and how many families have been separated.

At this moment, Xu Shu was completely caught in a dilemma. If he defected to Sun Can, he would be disloyal. If he did not defect to Sun Can, it would be tantamount to sitting on the sidelines and ignoring the people in danger. This was definitely not what he did.

Sun Can said at this time: "The king's boat is also the people's water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Although Sun's goal is to win the world, he does not forget the six words 'the people are more important than everything', only the people are more important than the people. Only by gaining the world can we be loved by the people. Only the people really suffer in troubled times. If we can get them out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, why prolong the time for the unification of the world for the sake of petty loyalty and righteousness? Are the people involved in the flames of war?
Sun cannot be sure that Sun will be the one who wins the world in the end, but it is undeniable that Sun has the greatest hope and the most strength.

Sun Can dare not claim to be the master, but Sun Can can do everything that Liu Bei can do, but Liu Bei may not be able to do what Sun Can can do. "

Xu Shu's heart was a little shaken. Xu Shu had always had a good impression of Sun Can, and Sun Can bowed down to invite him more than ten times in a row, which also moved him very much.Now, his mother persuaded him to obey the righteousness of the common people, and Sun Can used the righteousness of the common people to put pressure on him. A series of attacks made his inner defense begin to shake.

"What should I do? My lord treats me well, and my kindness is as great as a mountain. How can I betray you? But what Sun Can said is true. Only he can rule the world in the shortest time, and only he has the strength to reduce the casualties of the big man." At the lowest level. Should we disregard the life and death of thousands of people for the sake of loyalty? Or should we surrender to Sun Can for the sake of unification of the Han people as soon as possible and less suffering for the people of the Han Dynasty?" Two thoughts were fighting back and forth in his mind, respectively. his thinking.

How to choose made him miserable.

After thinking hard for a long time, I finally remembered what his mother said, "My son is studying Confucianism and getting better every day. The purpose is to save the people from suffering. My son is smart and makes his own decisions."

Xu Shu sighed, and said: "Forget it! Let's surrender. In terms of intelligence and ability, you are indeed far above Liu Bei. In terms of strength, Liu Bei can't compare with you, and you are not weaker than him in terms of benevolence. I can really rule the world and restore the Han Dynasty. I hope the general will remember what he said today and treat the people kindly. The general’s most hopeful move has moved me, so let me gamble with the rest of my life. I bet on the general’s victory in this game.”

"Yuan Zhi was able to say this, I am very moved." Sun Can was really excited by this sentence. In fact, what he said before can be said to be empty words that have not happened. All the premise must be after defeating Yuan Shao and entering the Central Plains.If he really entered the Central Plains, there would be no problem with what he said, but at the moment, the only convincing thing is the word "possible", but this "possible" is based on Liu Bei's impossibility.

And Xu Shu bet on this possibility.

"It is my supreme honor, Sun Can, to be voted by Yuanzhi. I now swear in the name of my grandparents: If I, Sun Can, can rule the world and restore the Han Dynasty, I will never treat any common people badly. To assist His Majesty, to seek the well-being of the common people in the world."

"And if you meet Liu Beijun in the future, please redeem me as an enemy." Xu Shu finally said a condition.

"Of course there is no problem!" Sun Can agreed with a smile. For him, the only things he feared were the powerful Yuan Shao and the well-hidden Cao Cao.Although Cao Cao is currently in a weak position, Sun Can dare not underestimate him because of his great talent. As for Liu Bei, he is obviously inferior to Cao Cao.

The three years of Jian'an, for Sun Can, was a year of good fortune.

Not long after Xu Shu's return, Liu Ba came to join him, and then several Jingxiang literati joined him one after another, which greatly filled the vacancies in Jingzhou.

Jian'an three years, (AD [-]) August.

"My lord, you have checked all the information you want to check." Kai Yang reported the results of his investigation to Sun Can.

"Oh! Then who is Chen Yun?" Sun Can met Kaiyang in the secret room. Kaiyang is the six-star North Pole Wuqu Xingjun in the "Secret Camp". Years ago, he was ordered to investigate the merchant Chen Yun who lived in Guanzhong.

"Chen Yun is 46 years old, a native of Guangping, Jizhou. He came to Guanzhong 30 years ago and married the queen of the merchant. Chen Yun used the dowry to work hard in Guanzhong and made a fortune by reselling private salt. It took 26 years to become a famous woman in Guanzhong. He is a wealthy businessman. It was rumored years ago that he planned to develop in the Northland, and he himself went to the Northland to investigate. I don’t know why. After returning from the Northland, he sold his fortune and moved to Jingzhou for development. Now, I am in Jingxiang There are three rice shops and three medicine shops in one place, and the business is good, but it is far from booming in Guanzhong." Kai Yang reported the news he had inquired to Sun Can in a calm tone.

"Bei Di?" Sun Can said with vigilance in his heart, "What's Chen Yun's expression after he came back from Bei Di?"

Kai Yang said: "Joyful, it is said that he once got drunk and said that he is expected to become the number one merchant in the Han Dynasty."
