Who are you calling powerful?

Evening, shared apartment

Tang Chun came in with a few bags of cooked food and cold dishes, put them down, went to the toilet to flush, and then knocked on the door of one of the bedrooms.

"It's time to eat."

There was no movement inside, Tang Chun knocked a few more times before getting a response. Half a minute later, his roommate Song Dong, who was a little disheveled, came out of the bedroom.

"Brother Chun, aren't you waiting for Lao Qin and Daming?"

"They went to buy some wine, you clean up, I'll cook some rice."

"Okay."

After a while, the other two roommates Qin Qiu and Xia Ming came back with a box of beer each. Song Dong had already cleaned up the cups and bowls, and several people gathered at the coffee table in the living room to eat, and turned on the TV at the same time.

Tang Chun and the other four were also college students who had just graduated. They were either roommates, classmates or colleagues. In order to save money, they chose to share a house together.

Because they were of similar age, some classmates and colleagues had friendships, and their personalities and hobbies were relatively compatible. Even their names were a bit coincidental, so although they were in a shared house relationship, they got along very well with each other.

Especially not long ago, Tang Chun was dragged into the pit by Qin Qiu, who was his roommate in college, and fell in love with the drama "Chi Le Chuan".

So, every day after work, the two of them bought some wine and food, and ate and drank while watching the drama.

There was no girlfriend to go out for a date, and he was bored alone. At night, he drank and watched the drama with his brothers and buddies. There was someone to talk to, which relieved stress, fatigue and boredom.

Because the daily life was really comfortable, within two days, Song Dong, a college classmate who lived with him and worked in the power leveling industry at home, also joined in. A day later, the last roommate Xia Ming also successfully fell.

Today is the finale of "Chi Le Chuan", and even the wine and food have been upgraded.

The release time of "Chi Le Chuan" has not yet arrived, and several people are not in a hurry. While eating and drinking, they complain about the stupid bosses, customers and sponsors they met today.

One person said, and the others helped to scold. It is also a daily decompression program. It is more fun to play crickets with several people than alone.

As he kept cursing, it was almost time. Song Dong refreshed the page and found that, as rumored online, the last four episodes of "Chi Le Chuan" were released in one go, and there was no advance on-demand service as many people had guessed.

"It has to be Boss Wei, so particular."

Qin Qiu beside him also nodded and agreed: "That thing is the most disgusting. After paying for membership, you still have to pay to watch it in advance. It's too ugly."

"It was all started by iQiyi. No wonder PPTV went astray after continuing."

"All capital in the world is one family. Don't think too highly of Wei Yang."

Tang Chun adjusted his glasses. He was in the Internet industry and even cooperated with these video websites, so he saw it more clearly.

"The revenue from this advanced on-demand service is still considerable. Penguin has already learned from it. I think it will be a matter of time for PPTV."

Xia Ming on the side agreed: "I think so too. The public opinion is quite strong now. PPTV attaches more importance to word of mouth. In addition, its own revenue is good, so it can be stable. Let's see iQiyi taking the risk. If everyone can accept and get used to this advanced on-demand service in the future, PPTV will definitely do it."

Boss Wei is a little better than the average capitalist, but not much better.

There is a bottom line, but not much!

It is difficult to expect him to set such a bad example. He may not follow the charge or add fuel to the flames. But if industry rules are formed and are beneficial to the platform, don't expect him to stand up and denounce the chaos with great righteousness. In all likelihood, he will follow suit.

So when dealing with Boss Wei, don't think he is so evil and make all kinds of conspiracy theories with no bottom line.

But don't use any particularly noble and righteous filters to think that he will stand with the working people.

The four people present all have more or less good feelings towards Boss Wei, otherwise they would not follow his drama.

But Tang and Xia are more objective and are friendly passers-by, while Qin and Song are more like fans.

Qin is a fan of the drama and likes Boss Wei's works. He is also the first among the four to follow the drama and lead everyone into the pit.

Song is a fan of the person. He thinks Boss Wei is a winner in life. He admires his legendary experience and has a deep filter for him. He thinks that even if Boss Wei farts, he thinks it smells good.

So he disagrees with Tang and Xia's statement. He should have refuted it a few times, but the TV series started, and he was busy watching the drama and was not in the mood.

At this time, the plot has been broadcast to Gao Huan's final battle-the Battle of Yubi.

In the previous battle of Mangshan, Gao Huan won a great victory and wiped out the elite forces under Yuwen Tai in one fell swoop, causing great damage to the vitality of the Western Wei. If Gao Huan had not stabilized his hand, he might have been able to push the tower directly.

Three years later, Gao Huan, who was over fifty years old, once again gathered an army of 100,000 to attack Guanzhong, but was blocked at the foot of Yubi City.

This small city is not big, but it is a military fortress specially built to resist Gao Huan. It was built extremely steeply and sent General Wei Xiaokuan to lead thousands of elite soldiers to defend the city.

Here, Gao Huan suffered the biggest defeat in his life, which was more tragic than the previous Shayuan. Yubi was also nicknamed "Gao Huan Happy City".

Long before this plot, Tang Chun and others knew the outcome of this battle by watching videos.

But as the saying goes, knowing is knowing, and you have to watch how the TV series is filmed.

There are probably only a few routines for the shots of attacking and defending cities in ancient times, but now due to the upgrade of special effects, the scenes will be more spectacular, real and tragic.

For example, "Chi Le Chuan" highlights the steep terrain of Yubi City, allowing the audience to intuitively feel how difficult this city is to attack.

This is still very important. In the past, many costume dramas, due to financial and technical issues, just showed a city gate tower. Dozens of people rushed up with ladders, threw a few foam stones, and fired two cannons. Then he said that the strongest city in the world is so difficult to defeat.

This will make the audience very confused, and the plot effect will be greatly reduced. If the protagonist cannot win, he will be questioned as useless.

The final effect of Jade City in "Celechuan" directly made Song Dong burst out.

"Holy shit, how do you fight this?"

Qin Qiu's scalp was numb at the sight. Only when he saw this place did he know what it meant to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. Especially in the era of cold weapons, there was almost no other good way to attack by force except to kill people.

"There is enough food and grass, and the morale is stable. Let alone 100,000, we can also carry 200,000."

Tang Chun was also amazed. Reading the history books, it was said that Gao Huan could not defeat Yubi City with 100,000 men, which was defended by thousands of men. It was a waste. Looking at the actual terrain, it cannot be said that Gao Huan had no hope of winning, but he was indeed defeated. Not unfair either.

In addition to emphasizing the terrain, "Celechuan" does not include many attack scenes, which are too boring. Just two simple scenes can show the difficulty. After that, it is the battle of wits and courage between Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan.

This is also the case in history. Gao Huan is not an iron-headed boy. He knows that a strong attack will give away lives in vain, so he still lets his men attack wildly.

Therefore, in the early and middle stages of the siege, in addition to normal attacks, he used a lot of outside attacks, such as cutting off water, raising mountains of earth to lay down from high altitudes, digging tunnels, making engineering weapons, destroying walls with wooden pillars, and even resorting to surrendering counterattacks. I have all my tactics in mind.

But Wei Xiaokuan was asked to crack them all one by one, which made Gao Huan panic. Regardless of the heavy losses, he ordered a strong attack many times, trying to break the city, but still to no avail.

In the drama "Celechuan", Gao Huan is known for his cunning and scheming. He is known as the best actor in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has extremely high psychological quality.

In this drama, Gao Huan's only real breakthrough was when he knew that Peng Le let Yu Wentai go. He was so angry that he knocked Peng Le's head on the ground and almost killed him.

Others such as Dou Tai and Gao Aocao died in battle, and Gao Huan was more sad.

Other moments such as the moment of breaking the defense, even if the son is cuckolded, are mostly staged and have their own purpose.

But this time it was Wei Xiaokuan who made him look anxious!

Some viewers didn't understand at first. Isn't it just a siege battle? If you lose, you can do it again. They lost so miserably in the Battle of the Sand Garden, so they weren't in such a hurry.

However, the play quickly gave the answer through character dialogue. Although Gao Huan was unable to break through the defense for a long time, he realized that his body was not good.

It is set in the play that Gao Huan went to war while ill, and the war situation was unfavorable, which aggravated his condition.

Gao Huan had already realized that if he failed this time, he would not see the day when he could unify the north.

Therefore, it is not so much that Gao Huan was broken by Wei Xiaokuan, but rather Gao Huan's despair and venting when his unified vision was shattered.

"Oh, King Gao."

Looking at the gray-haired, stubborn and stern Gao Huan sitting alone in the tent on the screen, Tang Chun and others sighed.

He died before he left the army, which made the hero burst into tears!

Although Zhuge Liang and Gao Huan are two different things, they both have unfulfilled ambitions and unfulfilled long-cherished wishes, and the feelings of regret and regret are similar.

"Peng Le, who is so stupid, is just a little bit worse. He was blamed both times."

Song Dong couldn't hold back his curses, and others also echoed and expressed regret.

"That's right, if he had supported King Gao in setting the fire, or if he had not let Yu Wentai go, the Western Wei Dynasty would have been gone."

"There is also Wei Xiaokuan. As long as the empty city plan is not hidden, there will be no chance for him."

"Destiny does not belong to the Gao family."

"That doesn't belong to his Yuwen family. He deserves to be usurped by Yang Jian and the whole family was slaughtered."

"..."

Gao Huan was so popular that the Yuwen family had a lot of negative fans, and even Yang Jian had to do a little whitewashing.

No matter how regretful and grievance the audience feels, the plot will not be affected by this in the end.

Gao Huan's forceful attack at all costs did not capture the jade. Instead, he lost troops and generals, and the morale of the army was low.

Misfortunes never come singly. Due to the cold weather and lack of preparation, diseases spread rampantly. People died one after another in the military camp, and the losses were much higher than those during the siege.

This battle is completely unwinnable!

In the end, Gao Huan chose to withdraw his troops with infinite grief and regret. Under the walls of Yubi City were piles of corpses, including nearly 70,000 soldiers who died of illness, disease and freezing.

The strength of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was greatly depleted, and it was unable to attack the Western Wei Dynasty in a short period of time.

After this battle, Gao Huan also fell ill after returning to the base camp.

Yuwentai's party inquired about the news and spread rumors that Gao Huan was hit by a stray arrow in the Battle of Yubi and had died.

Just after a major defeat, Gao Huan died again. Even if the Western Wei Dynasty and Nanliang did not fight, various internal forces would still cause trouble. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Gao Huan forced himself to appear in public despite his illness, and invited nobles to a banquet. General, calm people's hearts.

On the screen, Gao Huan, who was wearing a long cloak and had a slightly pale complexion, was supported by his wife Lou Zhaojun and his son, sitting in the main hall and drinking with various guests.

During this period, I thought about the Battle of Yubi and felt depressed. I also saw the old brothers present, all of whom had gray hair and beards. Even my beautiful wife had wrinkles. My body was no longer as strong as it was when I was young. Lost.

This kind of banquet usually has singing and dancing to add to the fun, but Gao Huan had very little reaction.

There was a minister who knew how to look and asked King Gao about his preferences before arranging singing and dancing. Gao Huan shook his head and looked at his eldest brother Hu Lujin.

"Brother A Liudun (Huolu Jin), please sing the "Chi Le Song" for me again."

Huolu Jin was a little flattered. It had been a long time since Gao Huan became the prime minister.

Gao Huan personally selected the generals, and he did not refuse. He stood up, cleared his throat, and began to sing the familiar "Chi Le Song".

"Chi Le Chuan, under the Yinshan Mountains

The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields

The sky is vast, the fields are vast

The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep

..."

The old Huolu Jin's voice was not as passionate and heroic as when he was young. He hurriedly selected the generals without any preparation, and the beginning tune was not very accurate. In addition, he was concerned about Gao Huan's identity, so he sang more restrainedly.

But Gao Huan didn't care. Instead, he listened very seriously. He also stretched out two fingers and placed them on the table to beat the rhythm and sang softly.

Huolu Jin's voice fell, and the BGM of the theme song of the same name "Chi Le Chuan" sounded.

"My heart follows the world, my mind is led by the cattle and sheep.

The lonely smoke in the desert embraces the setting sun.

At the end of the sky, I hold a cup with the moon.

The bonfire reflects my face as I ride the Chi Le Chuan.

..."

Amid the sad music, Gao Huan looked over with a distant and deep gaze, as if he was staring at Hulu Jin who was singing, and as if he had seen through the barriers of time.

That year, he stood guard at the city gate, listening leisurely to the herdsmen singing.

That year, he married a beautiful woman and had a foundation for his life.

That year, he met a group of brothers, sang to his heart's content, and vowed to make a name for himself.

That year, he was poor and destitute, and almost at the end of his rope.

That year, he was appreciated by Bole, and his luck turned, and he rose to prominence.

That year, he was at the peak of his life, and he looked at Hulu Jin and others roaring at the Chi Le Chuan with satisfaction.

In the following years, he was defeated and won, was chased and fled alone, and commanded tens of thousands of troops to charge.

Everything, everything, returned to the blood and bones of Yubi City, 70,000 warriors died in a foreign land, and the great cause of unification no longer existed.

Gao Huan could no longer control his emotions. He had played a hero all his life, but in the end, in front of everyone, his true feelings were revealed, tears flowed, and the hero was old.

"King Gao, lead the brothers to charge again."

Peng Le, who was called a pig teammate by countless netizens, couldn't help crying when he saw Gao Huan's embarrassment, and other generals also asked for battle in tears.

But Gao Huan did not express his opinion. After calming down, he encouraged him a few words and dragged his sick body out of the hall.

Looking at his thin and hunched figure, Peng Le and other old subordinates stood up and chased him for two steps, prostrated on the ground, and shouted with tears.

"Take care, King Gao."

Gao Huan paused slightly, then waved his hand and left accompanied by Li Lou Zhaojun.

It is said that this shot is a bit of reference or tribute to the old Three Kingdoms Zhuge Liang's death "Star Falling Wuzhangyuan".

Although this was not Gao Huan's exit scene, the shocking feeling was less, but the sadness of the impending end was also filled in the hearts of the audience.

This scene made Tang Chun and others feel numb. The most emotional Song Dong and Qin Qiu cried, Xia Ming's eyes were red, and Tang Chun was the best performer, but he also felt sad.

The brothers were silent for two minutes, not knowing what to say, and finally raised their glasses together.

Just think of it as a tribute to King Gao...
