Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 276: The people are the water and the king is the boat

The wealth of an aristocratic family does not mean the wealth of a man. Although kings always put the people first, how much do they really consider the people in their hearts? They just use the people as an excuse.

"Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it." Jia Xu murmured again. After a long time, Jia Xu suddenly shouted: "My lord, I understand." From this moment on, he truly understood Lu Bu's attitude.

The intention is that people are like water. If you want the boat to travel farther and run more steadily, you must let the water stabilize first. If there is no water, where will the boat come from?

"It's good that Wen He understands, but people don't know that the people are the foundation of this world. If there are no people, where will the soldiers come from, where will the food and grass come from, where will there be any dynasty, let alone aristocratic families, it's ridiculous that those aristocratic families still treat the people

Exploiting people in every possible way and treating the common people as a stepping stone for the family's growth, they all think that I am targeting the world's aristocratic families, but they don't know that I am for the common people of the world."

"My lord is so righteous!" Jia Xu bowed, and the doubts in his heart disappeared. He believed that any knowledgeable person would be touched by Lu Bu's words "Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."

Although the principle is simple, its meaning is thought-provoking.

"Wenhe, the people's affairs, have a long way to go. I hope Wenhe can put the people first," Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu bowed his hands and said hello. After saying goodbye and leaving for a long time, his mood still could not calm down. Instead, he went to Jinyang Academy. Jia Xu wanted to discuss such remarks with the world-famous scholar Cai Yong.

Similar to Jia Xu's reaction, Cai Yong was silent for a long time after hearing these words.

"Is this really what Fengxian said?" A gleam flashed in Cai Yong's eyes.

"Exactly, I was discussing with my lord today about Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army. When talking about the people, my lord suddenly said these words." Jia Xu said truthfully. He had nothing to hide about Cai Yong. Cai Yong had nothing to do with Bingzhou.

The role is no worse than that of any official. There may be literati in the world who don't know Jia Xu, but there is no one who doesn't know Cai Bozhe.

"These remarks should be shared with everyone in the world, and I personally wrote them." Cai Yong said suddenly.

Cai Yong did this not only for the sake of Bingzhou, but also for himself. There were too many people in the world who looked down on his disciples. They all thought that Lu Bu was a military commander and did not have a strong background behind him, and they ridiculed Lu Bu for his bravery.

I don’t know that Lu Bu is a man who truly cares about the people.

What disappointed Cai Yong the most was that since he came to Bingzhou, none of his former disciples were willing to go to Bingzhou to serve. They would rather believe the words of other princes than the vision of their own teacher. Cai Yong did not say it,

But I was very depressed in my heart.

Jia Xu said: "Master Cai's words are correct."

The contents of Da Han Bao once again shocked the literati.

"The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat but also capsize it." The eye-catching title and the article are sobering. Cai Yong's article is well-founded and the analysis is penetrating. Of course I say this.

What surprised them was that he was a general with only the courage of an ordinary man in their eyes.

After hearing these words, many literati abandoned their previous prejudices against Bingzhou and prepared to go to Bingzhou to see Jinyang Academy. Before that, although some students went to Jinyang, they were basically poor students.

, just to be able to study in Jinyang and then find an official position.

Lu Bu naturally did not expect that he could cause such a stir in the world by borrowing a sentence from later generations.

At this time, Lu Bu was in the courtyard where Ji Ling was imprisoned. It is said that Ji Ling was also a tough guy and refused to surrender after being captured. However, this guy didn't want to surrender, but he kept talking. Not only did he eat Bingzhou's food, he also

The soldiers guarding the courtyard had long been dissatisfied with people like this who kept scolding Bingzhou. If it hadn't been for the strict order of the state pastoral government, they would have secretly murdered Ji Ling.

As time passed, Ji Ling no longer scolded him. He just worked hard in the courtyard every day and occasionally wandered around the city. He knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply didn't want to escape. A man with two legs

It cannot outrun a four-legged war horse.

More than two years later, Ji Ling began to think about himself. He had been captured by Lu Bu for so long, and he didn't know what happened to his family. Although Yuan Shu was kind to him, in the past few years since he arrived in Bingzhou, no envoy from Yuan Shu had gone to Bingzhou, let alone

Rescued him.

Lu Bu's arrival surprised Ji Ling. He was already a little tired of this kind of life. As a battlefield veteran, he had been away from the battlefield for so long. It was obviously impossible to say that he didn't want to. During this period, he also had

He thought about defecting to Bingzhou Army, but when he thought about his family, he gave up the idea. He didn't want his family to be affected. Once he defected to Bingzhou, his family would definitely be the first to suffer.

Facing Lu Bu, Ji Ling had unspeakable sighs. He had to express his admiration for this former enemy. The Xianbei people and the Jizhou army attacked Bingzhou at the same time, but were defeated by the Bingzhou army. They sent 10,000 troops and occupied the four counties of Youzhou.

Everything seemed impossible to Ji Ling, but Lu Bu did it.

"General Ji, are you okay in Jinyang?" Lu Bu asked with a smile. The reason why he went here was because of the report of the soldiers guarding Ji Ling.

"Why should the Marquis of Jin care about the defeated general?" Ji Ling snorted coldly, his expression full of arrogance. He was always worried about the defeat that day.

Lu Bu waved his hand to signal Dian Wei behind him to calm down, "Does Master Ji know how much food Bingzhou has consumed over the years?"

Ji Ling looked at Lu Bu in surprise. He didn't expect that Lu Bu, as the shepherd of a state, would say such a thing to him. Didn't he seem too stingy?

"After I was captured by the Bingzhou Army, I just wanted to die. The Marquis of Jin couldn't do anything, so it's my fault." Ji Ling didn't appreciate it.

Lu Bu looked at Ji Ling with a smile and said: "Actually, I also regret a little. Why didn't I kill General Ji with one blow? It would have saved Bingzhou a lot of money and food. Since I have done something wrong, I naturally need to make up for it."

Ji Ling's words were a bit mean, and Lu Bu was also angry because of his thoughts.

"How to make up for it?" Ji Ling asked doubtfully.

"Of course General Ji serves Bingzhou to repay Bingzhou's money and food. Otherwise, does General Ji think Bingzhou's money and food are so easy to get?"

Ji Ling was speechless. He naturally understood the meaning of Lu Bu's words, but he had never thought that Lu Bu would use such a reason to persuade him to surrender. Money and food? Is Bingzhou short of money and food? In successive wars, he has never heard of Bingzhou for money and food.

Worried.

"If General Ji doesn't speak, I will take it as General Ji's acquiescence." Lu Bu turned his gaze to Dian Wei and said, "Bring Mrs. Ji and Mr. Ji here."
