Chapter 422: The Lasting Effect of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
"I've finished watching it." Li Ranran calmly exited the video and put the phone aside.
I was a bit tired after watching more than ten episodes in one go.
Li Ranran felt an indescribable mood, a little blocked and a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps it is because no one wanted the Three Kingdoms, an era of many talented people, to end with the Jin Dynasty.
The Jin Dynasty was full of darkness, and their time in power plunged China into its darkest hour.
Liu Bang chatted with people with great interest, "Tell me, why are the Three Kingdoms so attractive? No, I should say why people in later dynasties like them."
Zhang Liang smiled faintly, "Just as it says on the screen, it was an era of many talented people and heroes."
"Heroes emerge in troubled times." Xiao He sighed.
Liu Bang thought of the opponent who was competing with him for the world.
Xiang Yu.
Why Xiang Yu? He is a hero.
But he failed to rule the world. Now the person who rules the world is him, Liu Bang.
The Han Dynasty founded by Liu Bang lasted for 400 years. After the Western Han Dynasty, there was the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was the Later Han Dynasty.
"Although I always say that I don't care and that I am very satisfied with the four hundred years of national prosperity, deep down, I still hope that Liu Bei can win."
Liu Bang, Xiao He and Zhang Liang looked at the light curtain that was about to go out, with hope in their eyes.
……
Eastern Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Jian'an
"Cao Cao is not pretending at all now! What am I in his eyes?!" Liu Xie was throwing a tantrum in the bedroom.
The current situation is something no one would have imagined before.
Cao Cao actually defeated Yuan Shao and the Yuan family, which had three generations of officials!
Even if there are light curtain spoilers in advance, things change unpredictably and no one can be sure that they can still follow the original historical path.
As soon as the news of Yuan Shao's death in Yecheng spread, there was news that Cao Cao led his troops south to join forces with Zhang Liao and others.
Sun Ce clenched his fist and smashed it on his other hand. "Yuan Benchu was so useless, but he still died of illness like in history!"
"We are in a passive position now, and all plans have to be overturned and started over again." Zhou Yu's face was not good, but it was foreseeable that Yuan Shao would die of illness at this time.
“Isn’t he angry to death because of looking at the light screen?” Sun Ce took a few steps and looked at the city tower not far away. The flag with the word “Zhang” hanging high on the tower looked unpleasant no matter how he looked at it.
"I'm afraid Zhang Liao has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"
Zhou Yu: "I heard that Yuan Benchu had been vomiting blood frequently since he was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu. I didn't expect that he didn't last more than a year."
"Yuan Benchu's sons are all troublesome." Sun Ce was already angry about them in advance. If it weren't for those brothers, the current situation might be more favorable.
Zhou Yu thought of the news he had received not long ago, and said in a deep voice: "Even though they knew what would happen in the future, and Yuan Benchu had already decided on an heir, the Yuan family still became a fragmented Yuan family."
"It's a pity for the loyal ministers like Shen Pei, Ju Shou, and Tian Feng."
As the conversation between the two ended, the troops in Sun’s camp began to withdraw.
……
The Second Year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
"Your Highness, are you... really okay?" Zhang Bao felt that the delicate and tender Crown Prince might not be able to endure the hardships of the military camp.
Liu Chan quietly put his injured hand into his sleeve, shook his head, and comforted Zhang Bao who came to care about him.
"I'm really fine! I can do it! My father went through decades of hardships before he established his current foundation. What I'm doing today is nothing at all..."
Zhang Bao nodded blankly. He touched his head again and confirmed again that Liu Chan just looked a little miserable and was fine otherwise, then walked out of the tent.
After a while, Zhang Fei came in from outside.
Liu Chan wanted to quietly change the bandage on his injured hand, but he happened to run into Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei's face was already dark, and now it looked even darker.
Liu Chan didn't know whether his uncle's expression showed that he felt he was useless.
Oh, Uncle San will definitely think that I can't even do such a small thing...
Instead of being scolded and beaten as he had expected, Zhang Fei frowned, strode to Liu Chan's bedside, and touched his chest with his right hand.
Liu Chan looked puzzled, and Zhang Fei took out a bottle of ointment from his arms.
"Oh, you need to exercise more! Don't grow into a fat man!"
Liu Chan recalled his image in Romance of the Three Kingdoms... dumb and fat...
He immediately shook his head, "No, absolutely not!"
"Okay! Then apply the ointment and continue what we did today tomorrow." Zhang Fei became happy instantly after hearing Liu Chan's words.
I kept repeating to myself: My eldest brother has a successor, and Adou is a kind-hearted child. He can still be saved and taught.
……
Ming Dynasty Hongwu 29th year
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was shown on the screen and played continuously for several months. If anyone's fate was changed the most, it must be Luo Guanzhong, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Luo Guanzhong has gone from being an ordinary old man to the most famous person in the Ming Dynasty!
The door is like a city.
Luo Guanzhong lived in the courtyard allocated to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his daily task was to revise "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
When I wrote Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I still had some emotions and selfish motives in my heart.
It has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Luo Guanzhong has lived in the land of the Ming Dynasty for many years. In addition, as he gets older, he recalls his past resentment and has different ideas.
"Oh, how many times do I have to tell you that what I'm writing is a novel, a romance! I just followed the outline of history, and I figured out the details myself... Why are you all criticizing me for not respecting history?"
Luo Guanzhong wanted to protest his grievances, and when he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Yu, Cao Zhen, Wei Yan and others standing beside him.
All right. Luo Guanzhong comforted himself, let the criticism go, anyway the book became popular, and he would also be remembered in history, which was the realization of his ideal.
Although the process of achieving this is different from what I had imagined...
……
The light curtain gradually disappeared...
Everyone continued with their lives as usual.
The light curtain came mysteriously, and the timing of each message was also mysterious, and it was impossible to infer any pattern from it.
……
Li Ranran saw that the phone was fully charged and touched the back of the phone.
"I must have forgotten to close the running background software again. My phone is getting really hot. I need to put on the charger!"
Li Ranran stroked the back of the phone, and when he felt the temperature drop, he immediately opened the phone and went to Station 13 to watch the video.
"Hey, have you started recommending songs today?" Li Ranran clicked on station 13 and went directly to the recommendation page.
After she saw the title of the video clearly, she couldn't help but applaud the current big data.
"Could it be that they detected that I had just finished watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms and started recommending songs about related characters to me?"
[“Cao Cao” with lyrics]

(As the drum beats of the prelude sounded, a large map of the various forces in the late Eastern Han Dynasty unfolded, and finally the word "Cao Cao" appeared on the map stroke by stroke.)
