Chapter 655: A Perfect Stop
I said, these 10,000 soldiers can't be discussed, right? To be honest, if Guo Jia really wanted to bet just now, he would also say that it was less than a hundred, or if someone said a hundred, then Guo Jia would say that it was less than fifty. Even Guo Jia himself doesn't have the confidence of Sima Yi and Ming'er, saying ten or five. Among the 10,000 people, there are usually some hot-headed people, right?
The only possibility that Guo Jia thought of at this time was that this group of people had discussed. There is actually a very obvious loophole in the secret ballot! That's right, that's when everyone votes for one, and bearer is equivalent to registering.
It's like if everyone supports Liu Bei, so if Guo Jia wants to take revenge on others, he may not find a target? Similarly, now that everyone supports you Guo Jia, shouldn't you Guo Jia have a full reward?
"Nope! No way! I don't believe it, I'm going to recheck it! Zhang Fei over there grabbed his head and shouted.
However, his current behavior seems even more ridiculous. Liu Bei didn't want to stay at the scene anymore at this time, it was really shocking. If Zhang Fei didn't check out anything, then it would be fine, if Zhang Fei really turned it out later, he immediately jumped up and cheered,
"Ah, there's one! There is one! ”
At that time, Liu Bei estimated that his face would be green.
Liu Bei may have expected that he would fail before, but he never thought that he would lose so completely. This kind of infinitely extreme reality is in front of him, and the blow to Liu Bei is not just this one thing. What has Liu Bei always based himself on in the world? That's right, benevolence! Moreover, Liu Bei also believes. As long as he persists on this path, he will be able to win the hearts and minds of the people. Then it is possible to win the world.
But now, Liu Bei couldn't help but doubt in his heart. He insisted on benevolence, can he really win the hearts of the people? If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Today, all moral decay is selfish. So he, Liu Bei, is based on benevolence and virtue, can he still get the support of others?
To exaggerate, it's like a group of bandits and bandits, if you are a benevolent person, will others support you as their mountain king?! Liu Bei originally thought that he was mixing with officialdom. Now I found out that Nima has always been mixed with the underworld!
If you want these gangsters in the underworld to abandon evil and follow good, then Liu Bei must first become their boss, but if you want to be their boss, you can't be benevolent, isn't this a contradiction?! In that case, why should we stand in the world with benevolence? It's better to learn from Cao Cao, or even like Lu Bu, no matter what means are used. Grab the benefits first!
If Liu Bei thought so at the beginning, completely ignoring the ideas of the people of Xuzhou and developing himself strongly, then he Liu Bei would probably have established a firm foothold in Xuzhou by now!
"Uncle Liu Huang. Is this leaving? Guo Jia hurriedly called out to Liu Bei, completely looking like he had fallen into a well and gloated.
Liu Bei stopped. A reluctant smile was returned,
"Now the results are in. Our side is completely defeated, isn't Lord Guo still satisfied? Liu Bei said.
"Uncle Huang misunderstood. That is now in the past. Naturally, I won't deliberately say it again. It's just that since Uncle Huang wants to protect the people of Xiapi, he can actually work hard. Guo Jia explained.
"Oh? What does Master Guo mean? Liu Bei looked up suspiciously and asked.
"When Uncle Huang was in Xuzhou, he was always very popular with the local people. Before the embankment was burst and the water was released, didn't we have to notify the soldiers and civilians of Picheng in advance? Why don't you take advantage of this time to rely on your prestige and influence in Xuzhou to go to Xiapi City to persuade you to surrender on your behalf. Once someone surrenders and sacrifices the door, won't this save the people from fire and water?! Guo Jia said seriously.
Liu Bei's eyelids twitched, this Guo Jia is too insidious and terrifying. Although Liu Bei has always followed Cao Cao, he has never done anything for Cao Cao. But this time, Guo Jia kidnapped him with righteousness, he Liu Bei had always publicly said that he wanted to save the people of Xiapi before, and now there is such an opportunity, even if it is just a possibility, Liu Bei has to do it. Otherwise, the people of the world would really regard him Liu Bei as a complete hypocrite!
Liu Bei commented on the prestige he had established in Xuzhou at the beginning, but now he is helping Cao Cao persuade others to surrender, how ridiculous it is. Moreover, this will also give some uninformed people an illusion that he, Liu Bei, has really followed Cao Cao, is already helping Cao Cao to do things, and is helping Cao Cao to make profits. No matter what if Liu Bei is unwilling to do so at this time? He really couldn't refuse Guo Jia's proposal.
"If you can save the people from fire and water, you should do everything you can." Liu Bei replied.
"Then I won't bother Uncle Huang below." Guo Jia also said goodbye directly.
Today's debate competition has finally come to a perfect end.
Coming back,
"My lord, how on earth are you sure that no one will support Liu Bei?!" Liu Ye found Guo Jia again to ask for advice, recalling that when Zhu Rong said that there would be no one, Guo Jia smiled at Zhu Rong's "appreciation", and Liu Ye was more sure that Guo Jia had expected everything early in the morning!
Hey~~ Chen Deng next to him shook his head and sighed, this Liu Ye is going farther and farther on the road of brainless fans. Chen Deng believes that even if Guo Jia says to Liu Ye now, "You are sick", then Liu Ye will definitely pat his chest without hesitation and think "I am sick". Well, there is indeed a disease.
"Do you know what a secret ballot is?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically, looking pretending to be forced. It's not easy to be Zhuge Liang beforehand, but after the fact, isn't it easy? Based on the results, the process is reversed, and this kind of thing is too simple. Guo Jia was able to find 10,000 reasons at this time to explain why he was able to calculate everything in advance!
"I know, but because it was a secret ballot, I thought someone was going to mess around." Liu Ye couldn't help but say.
"Then why are they messing around?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
"Anyway, it won't affect the final result, whether it's fake benevolence or false righteousness, or grandstanding, there is always a reason for chaos, right?" Liu Ye replied as a matter of course.
Guo Jia smiled after hearing this, patted Liu Ye's chest,
"As I said, it's a secret ballot. Whether it's fake benevolence or false righteousness, or grandstanding, it's all for people to see, and no one knows, so what's the point? Moreover, aren't they worried that everyone thinks the same as they do, and everyone runs away to fake benevolence and righteousness, which ultimately leads to the result being biased in favor of Liu Bei, isn't that sending themselves to the guillotine! There are risks and no benefits, who will do it. Do they dare to tell others about their choices? They won't forget why I voted by secret ballot. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile, only those who choose him Guo Jia dare to tell others, and if they choose Liu Bei, they don't even dare to say it. Since no one knows what they have chosen, there is no need to worry that others will say that they are not benevolent. (To be continued......)
