Chapter 721
Gu Feng was a little surprised.
Normal people have five fingers, but it is very rare for people who grow six fingers.
But the old man in front of him actually had seven fingers on his right hand.
What is his origin?
"Try it, how about this tea?" The old man signaled Gu Feng to taste the tea.
Tea is green tea.
The clear soup is green and the fragrance is welcome to the nose.
Gu Feng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and exclaimed: "Good tea."
"Have you met Guanyin Ye?"
The old man asked suddenly.
Gu Feng was vigilant again. Who is this old man? Why did he know Ye Guanyin?
"Don't worry, I'll talk first, I have no malice towards you." The old man smiled and said, "What do you think of Ye Guanyin?"
Gu Feng pondered for a while and replied: "Senior Ye's dragon's head but not the tail, his swordsmanship is unique, and he is a strange man in the world."
The old man smiled and asked again: "Have you met Long Er?"
"Um."
"What do you think of him?"
"It's very tolerant, it's a character."
"It means that you have observed this very carefully. Gu Feng, what do you think of me?"
Gu Feng said: "Young master can't see through you."
"Hahaha, sooner or later, you will see through me." The old man laughed.
Gu Feng was still confused, wondering what the old man wanted to invite him on the boat?
The old man seemed to know Gu Feng was confused and smiled: "In ancient times, Cao Cao used to discuss heroes by making wine in green plums. Today, let's talk about heroes by tasting tea. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who do you admire more?"
The old man's question is very leaps and he was asking Gu Feng to evaluate the people today, and then he jumped to ancient times.
Gu Feng thought that the old man would definitely not ask for questions for no reason, and this move must have profound meaning.
Is it to test me?
Gu Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Li Qingzhao has a poem saying: 'If you are a hero in life, you will also be a hero in ghosts when you die. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River."
"Don't you appreciate Xiang Yu?"
"No, I admire him very much." Gu Feng said: "Xiang Yu is a loyal hero with invincible achievements, creating a great cause that is powerful and set off a surging wave at the time of the alternation of Qin and Han dynasties, and it is worthy of the world's worship and admiration for thousands of years."
"So, do you admire Xiang Yu very much?" asked the old man.
Gu Feng shook his head and said, "I admire him, but I don't appreciate him."
“Why?”
"Because Xiang Yu once had the ability to win the world, he finally committed suicide by slashing his throat in the Wujiang River."
The old man asked again: "Why do you think Xiang Yu failed?"
"In my opinion, there are several reasons for Xiang Yu's failure."
Gu Feng said: "First, Xiang Yu respected righteousness. At the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu had the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, but he did not do that. Later, the two armies faced off, and Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang, and he let the tiger return to the mountain, and finally achieved Liu Bang's hegemony."
"Being loyal is the greatest tragedy of Xiang Yu's character and the greatest charm of his character."
"Second, Xiang Yu's failure was because he was stubborn."
"Han Xin once served under his command, but Xiang Yu did not listen to Han Xin's plan, which led to Han Xin's final surrender to Liu Bang."
"There is also Chen Ping, who has the talent to contribute to the country and the world, but he is not valued by Liu Bang."
"A father Fan Zeng assisted Xiang Yu, and devoted himself to his best efforts. However, in the end, Xiang Yu was suspicious."
"It's ridiculous. In the end, Han Xin was the one who built the plank road openly and secretly crossed Chen Cang; Chen Ping was the one who trapped Xiang Yu at Gaixia; even the one who took Xiang Yu's head at the last Wujiang Ferry was the one who took Xiang Yu's old friend Wang Jian."
"Xiang Yu's stubbornness finally made him suffer the consequences of being "invasive". It can be said that excessive use of force and neglecting wisdom is also an important reason for the tragedy of Xiang Yu's character."
Gu Feng sighed: "If Xiang Yu was not so loyal and not stubborn at the beginning, then Liu Bang would not have won the world in the end."
"It's right." The old man then asked, "Do you admire Liu Bang?"
Gu Feng nodded: "Appreciate."
"Tell me, look."
Gu Feng said: "Liu Bang was a commoner, who had nothing and had a great achievement late. However, within several years, he gathered the wisdom of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty and the force of the heroes, laying the foundation for the subsequent reign of Wen and Jing, the opening of the border of Han and the revival of Guangwu."
"Xiang Yu and Julu wiped out the enemy, and Liu Bang calmly entered Guanzhong to destroy the tyrannical Qin, and ruled the Bashu in Hanzhong with a calm attitude."
"Take the princes rebelled against Xiang, leave Chen Cang and set up the Three Qins."
"Split the troops, Han Xin, and annihilated the countries with the momentum. Peng Yue guerrillas and disturbed grain, neutralized Ying Bu, and tug at Xiang Yu himself, surrounded Gaixia. He created the hegemony of the Han Dynasty and made great achievements in history."
After Gu Feng finished speaking, he took another sip of tea and continued:
"In terms of ability and contribution, I personally believe that among all the emperors, Liu Bang may be second only to Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, who created the unity of civil and military affairs, stabilized the internal and resisted foreign affairs, and rectified the chaos. He was in line with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu who drove away the Hu people, turned slaves into farmers, and supported the people and carried officials."
The old man smiled and said, "So, do you admire Liu Bang?"
"No." Gu Feng shook his head and said, "I admire Liu Bang, but I don't admire him."
"Why?"
"Because some of his actions are great wisdom, they are a little bit villain."
For thousands of years, many people have called Liu Bang a villain.
For example, after the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang was defeated. While running away, in order to speed up the carriage, he kicked his wife and children out of the carriage three times.
Such behaviors are unfaithful and unfilial, unkind and unrighteous.
The old man nodded with a smile and asked again: "If you are asked to choose, are you a person like Xiang Yu or a person like Liu Bang?"
Gu Feng shook his head: "Don't do it."
"Why is this?"
Gu Feng said: "I hope to have the courage of Xiang Yu and the wisdom of Liu Bang."
"I understand." The old man took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Gu Feng, what is your dream?"
"Dream?" Gu Feng smiled and said, "My dream is to become a great doctor, save lives and revitalize traditional Chinese medicine."
"This is a professional dream, I'm asking about your personal dream."
Gu Feng thought for a while and said, "I am a common man. Since I am a common man, I can't escape the dream of ordinary people. I want to take control of the world and lie drunk on the beautiful knees."
"Hahaha, not bad, ambitious." The old man said: "You are a very interesting person. It seems that I am not in vain for this trip."
"Senior, do you have anything else?" Gu Feng asked.
The old man said: "My purpose this time is to see you and talk to you, and there is no other purpose."
Gu Feng doesn't believe it.
Since the old man came to see him specifically, he naturally had a purpose, but the old man didn't say it, he didn't ask.
Turning his head and looking at it, Wu Chenzi and the north and south had already sealed the tomb hole.
Gu Feng was about to say goodbye to the old man, and at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and took a look. It was Mu Ling who called it.
"Sorry, senior, I'll answer the phone." Gu Feng said.
"Please give me some advice." The old man was very easy-going.
Gu Feng pressed the answer button, and before he could speak, Mu Ling's heavy voice came into his ears.
"Gu Feng, I'm in trouble!"
