Chapter 662: Successive Executions
Think about it, if Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu seven times and released Meng Huo so many times, and in the end Meng Shu still did not surrender Zhuge Liang, not to mention how much time and energy was wasted and how much useless work was done, just talk about the losses caused, the wasted troops, and the innocent people who died, can you Zhuge Liang really pay the bill by himself? !
Moreover, the most embarrassing thing is that Meng Shu has always been unwilling to surrender, what should you do? Keep putting it down? Everyone doesn't admit defeat, see who can hold on to the end? Well, if you really live like that for a lifetime, your two good friends will definitely be able to go down in history, of course, at the same time, the Shu Kingdom has long been destroyed.
As for after capturing Meng Shu seven times, he found that it was really not good, so he cut Meng Huo again? That Zhuge Liang is estimated to be the world's most ridiculous. Self-righteous, self-pretending to be smart, made such a big mistake, spent huge manpower and material resources in vain, and the key is that there are so many fresh lives, are you Zhuge Liang embarrassed to be the prime minister? Are you embarrassed to hold on to the military power and not let go? It's really that there are no capable people in Shu, right?
Human nature is good, this sentence may be true, but there are always some nasty people in the world who don't take your kindness seriously, and even treat you as stupid because of this behavior. It's like the farmer and the snake, if you save it, it won't eat you if it's grateful to Dade?
Guo Jia didn't know what kind of understanding Zhuge Liang had to rely on to know Meng Shu to dare to take the risk of making such a move. At least now, Guo Jia basically doesn't know Gao Shun at all about this personality, and Guo Jia really doesn't dare to gamble.
On the surface, Gao Shun is a loyal and righteous person, and such a person will never be so shameless; But it is precisely because of Gao Shun's loyalty. So he may not betray Lu Bu from beginning to end, and he will not surrender to you Cao Cao. Foolish to the end. A road that goes straight to the end of the person, from ancient times to the present. There are not a few.
If it is replaced by the early stage, such as when Guo Jia was with Dong Zhuo, when he was with Yuan Shao, or even when he first joined Cao Ying, if he could have such an opportunity as now, Guo Jia would definitely be willing to gamble, because a talent like Gao Shun is worth his Guo Jia to gamble. But now, Guo Jia is really unnecessary, even if there is no Gao Shun. Guo Jia is also strong enough.
Or there is a lot of Gao Shun, which can make Guo Jia icing on the cake, but for the sake of a icing on the cake, Guo Jia has to risk losing all his family property, will Guo Jia probably do that?
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Guo Jia finally did not speak for Gao Shun. Maybe he died like this, fulfilling Gao Shun's name of loyalty, for Gao Shun. It's a good ending. Moreover, if a powerful character like Gao Shun goes, there will be one less variable in the future. This is also good for Guo Jia.
As a result, Guo Jia did not help Gao Shun intercede. That's fine, after all, Guo Jia has his own reasons. However, there was no one else at the scene who spoke for Gao Shun. Especially Liu Bei, Guan Yu or something, all of them were indifferent. This situation can't help but make Guo Jia pout, hypocrite!
When Zhang Liao was in power, you pleaded for mercy, pulled Cao Cao and said that he couldn't be killed, Zhang Liao was a loyal person, and now, Gao Shun, a person who may be more loyal than Zhang Liao in Guo Jia's eyes, whether it is Liu Bei, who claims to be benevolent, or Guan Yu, who talks about loyalty, actually doesn't intercede for him, so differentiated, isn't this a hypocrite? !
Gao Shun, whether it is talent or morality, where is he inferior to Zhang Liao? Especially the so-called loyalty, at least Gao Shun did not surrender to Cao Cao, and Zhang Liao finally surrendered to Cao Cao.
As we all know, Guan Yu had a friendship with Zhang Liao, and according to speculation, their relationship should have been established when Lu Bu and Liu Bei were both in Xuzhou. And Guo Jia can imagine that at that time, under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao belonged to the pro-Liu faction, and Gao Shun was estimated to be anti-Liu. Of course, it is understandable for you to save people who have a good relationship with you and ignore those who have a bad relationship with you. But you, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, are always praised for their morality, which Guo Jia is very unhappy! In this way, he Guo Jia can also be praised by the world, at least he Guo Jia is still quite humanitarian in many cases.
In short, Gao Shun was finally pulled out and cut like this. A generation of famous generals encountered such indifference before they died, I have to say that it is really a sadness.
After that, the person who was escorted up was Chen Gong. Chen Gong faced Cao Cao, holding his head high, without any shame.
Cao Cao saw his old acquaintances, old friends, especially his life-saving benefactor, and sighed silently,
"Don't come to the public station unharmed."
"Needless to say, kill me!" Chen Gong, like Gao Shun just now, also directly begged for death.
And then, there's the classic dialogue.
Cao Cao: Gongtai, you have an eighty-year-old mother, a three-year-old child, and a beautiful wife at home, if you die, what will they do?
Chen Gong: Hey, isn't that what I should say? Nima, you've said it all, why am I embarrassed to say it. Cao Cao, you're too ruthless! So Chen Gong could only walk downstairs in the end, without looking back, without opening his mouth, stretching his neck to be punished, and dying in tears.
Well, this is the unscrupulous arrangement in Guo Jia's heart.
In fact, Chen Gong said, "I have heard that those who rule the world with filial piety do not harm people's relatives; Those who govern the world benevolently will not be worshipped. The survival of the old mother's wife also lies in Ming Gong'er. Since I have been captured, I will be killed immediately, and I have no concern. ”
Chen Gong's words may have the meaning of agitation, but it can also be seen that Chen Gong really believes in Cao Cao and knows very well what kind of person Cao Cao is. If possible, why wouldn't he Chen Gong want to show his strength under Cao Cao all the time! It's a pity that under Cao Cao, two seemingly unrelated things like showing off their strength are contradictory here.
Under Cao Cao, you can't show your strength, and if you want to show your strength, you can't be under Cao Cao, which can really be called a trick of fate.
After all, Cao Cao has a deep relationship with Chen Gong, so he wants to personally send Chen Gong on his last journey, perhaps Cao Cao is also hoping that Chen Gong can finally change his mind. As long as Chen Gong is willing, even if he betrays Cao Cao, Cao Cao can even accept Zhang Xiu, how can he not accept Chen Gong!
With Cao Cao leaving temporarily, the matter here has also been put on hold for the time being.
As soon as Cao Cao walked on his front foot, Lu Bu on the ground shouted at Guo Jia,
"Bong-hyo! What a brother! Remember that old saying? Wu has Fengxian to level the world, and Wen has Fengxiao to determine the world. Later, you tell Cao Cao, you and I brothers will assist him together, he only needs to stay in Xu Capital to enjoy Qingfu, and we can help him smooth the world! ”
Guo Jia couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, it is undeniable that Guo Jia is very comfortable with the sentence "Wen has filial piety can determine the world", although this sentence was first said by Guo Jia, but every time it comes out of other people's mouths, it still makes Guo Jia secretly refreshed. But now there are other people here, especially Liu Da'er here, you are simply pushing yourself into a dead end when you say this kind of thing. (To be continued......)
