Chapter 2069 Useless Person, Unknown Life

"Old Yu? A strange title..."

This was probably the first time Alexander had contact with a typical oriental person who was older than this. After all, in his short life, he had never really set foot on the territory of the East.

Fortunately, as the dead, they can communicate with each other in a unique way of the dead, otherwise, the difference in language alone would be an insurmountable obstacle.

Of course, this obstacle does not exist now. So after Alexander muttered, he patted Old Yu's shoulder kindly, and said this to him.

"You brought me a very important piece of news, Lao Yu. It turns out that today's human beings have developed to such a point. A city with a population of hundreds of millions? Zeus, I am afraid that only the cities that the gods pay attention to can support so many people. But this is also just right, I was worried that my tens of millions of troops would be useless, and all conquests would be like floods and land ridges, boring. But now it seems that my conquests are still It's meaningful. Only such a challenging thing can be called a conquest, isn't it?"

"You are really optimistic and open-minded. If I were you, I wouldn't talk about conquering such a super city. First of all, this is a bit unrealistic, and things that are too far away are always in my heart. It is more down-to-earth than talking about it all the time. Secondly, it is inevitable that people will be on guard if they directly state the target. Since it is a war, it is right to catch them by surprise."

"Catch someone by surprise? This is really a concise and profound statement. Old Yu, you are not an ordinary person."

Squeezing Old Yu's shoulder vigorously, the interest in him in Alexander's eyes obviously increased a lot.

"This is not a truth that ordinary people can conclude. You said that you have taught others. From this point of view, Lao Yu, are you really a wise scholar?"

"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it. It's just picking up the wisdom of the predecessors. I can't say that myself. I'm just a supermarket owner, not as great as you say."

Old Yu waved his hands again and again, habitually posing in a humble posture. It's just that people like Alexander won't let people deny his own statement casually. He still insisted on his own opinion, and also gave his own reasons.

"Is this the usual humility of the Orientals? I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. It's really hard to understand. Wouldn't this cause you to show your revenge, ideals and ambitions? Obstacles? Ambition and ideals are like blunt horses. You have to use words to spur it and correct it from time to time, so that it can gallop on the battlefield.

Great things are possible, aren't they? "

"I can understand what you said. This is also the nature of you Westerners. But we in the East still feel that facts speak louder than words. Saying it thousands of times is not as good as doing it once. As for ambition and ambition? We in the East There was a story about such a king about two hundred years ago in your era."

"It's about a monarch named King Zhuang of Chu. When he came to the throne, the country was in turmoil, with many contradictions. Powerful officials inside rebelled, and enemies outside surrounded him. He was in power for three years, and he didn't say a word on state affairs. He was sensual all day long. Dogs and horses, like a fatuous monarch. But three years later, he made a sudden move, reused the loyal and brave ministers, strangled the domestic traitors, and attacked the invading enemy country. He also developed the economy and enriched the national strength. The well-deserved overlord among the Eastern nations."

"Oh, this king is very interesting?" Also as a monarch, Alexander subconsciously compared himself with the King of Chu Zhuang that Old Yu was talking about. "Could it be that he is born with a vision of knowing people and is so intelligent that no one can match him? I really can't imagine that a monarch who indulges in wine and sex and doesn't care about political affairs, even if he cheers up, has How could it be possible to do that? There are no trivial matters in the country, and they often need the guidance of wise people, and they can be familiar with slowly accumulating experience. As for the king in your story, even if he is born smart, isn’t it true? Is it possible to be born with such an experience?"

"Someone asked this king a word. It was a courtier of the king. He was very worried about this situation, so one day he heard that the king was drinking and eating meat again, listening to songs and watching dances. He bumped into him and met him face to face He questioned the king. He said, I heard that there is a bird in the country that lives above your palace. It has not sang or flew for three whole years. It is really hard to guess what it is like. bird."

Having said that, Lao Yu coughed twice. It's not only a secret, but also an opportunity to get rid of Alexander's hand holding his shoulder.

Regardless of Alexander's appearance in his thirties, he is only old enough to be a son to Old Yu. But the physiques of the two are really not on the same level. Alexander was known as a brave king, even able to kill a lion single-handedly. This is reflected in his physique. He is a strong man with a height of nearly two meters, with big arms and round waist, and a strong back. Menacing eyes like a tiger coupled with a beard like a lion's mane are simply the truest portrayal of the word macho.

In comparison, Lao Yu is not young, and although he is not too short, he is not too tall either. Years of reading and writing in the early years caused eye diseases, and the glasses were as thick as the bottom of a bottle. Later, I opened a supermarket here in Egypt, and I lived a comfortable life, and even grew a big beer belly. This kind of person is referred to as the middle-aged and elderly greasy uncle. As far as combat effectiveness is concerned, Alexander estimated that he was older than this, and twenty of them would not be able to breathe.

So after being slapped so many times by Alexander, he really felt like he was about to be slapped apart in his bones. And he, who is not easy to tell the truth on the bright side, can only use this opportunity to escape from his clutches. Of course, his story still has to go on.

"The king heard his courtiers asking him this, but he said something like this. He said, this bird is not an ordinary bird. He didn't fly for three years, just to soar into the sky. And it didn't fly for three years. Ming, it is for a blockbuster. This is the phoenix, the king of all birds."

"I think I understand what you mean, Mr. Old Yu." Adding Mr. after the title of Old Yu showed that Alexander was already impressed by his knowledge. This is not embarrassing for a king, because no one has stipulated that the king must be the kind of existence that surpasses everyone in knowledge.

A real king does not need the best knowledge or the most extraordinary bravery, what he needs is the broadest mind. To be able to accommodate all beings better than him, and to have the consciousness and courage to use them for them, this is the quality that a king should have.

Alexander is undoubtedly the kind of true king. He was able to start from a small city-state in a remote area of ​​Greece like Macedonia to conquer almost half of the world, not just by virtue of bravery. He is inclusive of all rivers, and trying to integrate all beautiful and powerful things into his own system is the real key to his becoming a king.

It was the same at this time, he obviously heard something from Lao Yu's story that benefited him a lot. And this also made him even more excited to pat Lao Yu on the shoulder, like a lecherous man seeing a beauty, and said to him with bright eyes.

"The image of this king indulging in wine and sex for three years is just his appearance on purpose. In fact, he has already made sufficient preparations secretly, waiting for a perfect time to take everything into his own hands. This is roughly the same as what you said before, attacking the unprepared and being unawares. But it needs to be more forbearing and ambitious."

"Old Mr. Yu, I am indeed right. You are really a wise scholar. It is not something that ordinary knowledgeable people can do to be able to read such a philosophical story. In short, be my arm Come on, Old Mr. Yu, think about how your wisdom can become the cornerstone for us to conquer the world, isn't such an achievement enough to make you feel excited?"

"No, I..." Lao Yu really wanted to say something straightforward, I am not the person you think, I am not as capable as you said, don't talk nonsense, but Alexander didn't He didn't give him such a chance, instead, by patting his shoulders, he squeezed his shoulders tightly, and said to him in a tone that I don't want you to think, I only want me to think.

"Old Mr. Yu. I don't understand why you always have the idea of ​​rejection, but I can guess that you have never had the opportunity to show all you have learned in your life. And this is exactly what I think the saddest thing."

"What did we come into this world for? Is it just to be here? No, in my opinion, we came to this world to do something, whether it is the right thing or the wrong thing. After all It is to leave a little trace, leave something to prove that we have been here, that we have not wasted this bright, short, beautiful and regrettable life."

"Just like me. Old Mr. Yu, if you have studied my life, you will find that my life is actually not long. In just thirty-three years, it should be like gold to human beings Years are the time when a good man can make great achievements. However, the serious illness took my life at that time, and I fell on my journey before I even had a glimpse of the end of the world. This is What a pity, but if you ask me if I have ever regretted my life like this, I can tell you with the most resolute and loudest voice a person can make, I am under great pressure, King of Macedon, Persia The popular Iskandar the Great, the conqueror of the world, I have never regretted it, and I will never regret it, my whole life has been spent in such wars and conquests."

"How many people can be like me, a conqueror of thousands of miles of land? How many people can be worshiped by men, women, old people and children like me? I established my own country and left my own country. Prestige, so that my name can be praised by the entire human race until thousands of years later. What a wonderful life this is, even if there are so few regrets, I will never make me have the slightest regret. Even if I do it again , even if I knew in advance that I would die of illness in that foreign country, I would not hesitate to ride my steed, take my loyal soldiers, and head there! What about you?"

"Old Mr. Yu, can you live your life without regrets like mine? Can you claim to the world as proudly as I do that I have been here before?"

"I don't know what kind of life you were like before you were alive, but I think that as long as you are a man, you will have the opportunity to sing your name forever. Many people will never get this opportunity in their entire lives. But now, I, Alexander the Great, have put this opportunity in front of you. Old Mr. Yu, God has given you a second chance, so that you are lucky enough to come before me and make another choice. And you How would you choose?"

"I spent these three months in obscurity, like all ordinary men, never leaving my name until my death, until all your relatives and friends have forgotten you, and then completely disappeared in this world It seems that you have never been in this world at all. Or, you want to engrave your name on history like me, so that everyone who reads history can see your existence just by turning the pages of the book. Even if you say After your life and soul are gone, will it be remembered by the world forever?"

"I......"

This time, the man who called himself Old Yu and thought he was just a salted fish, his fake heart was beating restlessly.

Ambition, which had never germinated in him, but never lost from him, began to grow wildly in his heart like a weed moistened by rain.

He is a mediocre man who has been enduring and withdrawing all his life. In the early years, I wanted to be a good teacher, but because of various accidents, I had to choose to give up. He broke his fortune and fled abroad, and he didn't mean to escape at all. And what is the result of this, it is probably just forgotten, as Alexander said, as if it has never been here at all. And he asked himself, is this really what he wants?

The answer, of course, is no, any person who lives again will have such an idea. Naturally, he was no exception, so at this time, he finally let out a long sigh, and then knelt down on one knee facing Alexander.

"Thank you for your perseverance, my lord. Maybe it's just like what you said, I really don't want to spend the last three months in obscurity until I die. Therefore, since you are willing to believe in me and think that I have the ability to help you fulfill your regrets, then I will do my best and die until I let the world surrender at your feet! Let the world remember that I am in potential ...been here before!"
