Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2686 Voice of the heart

  『What is Your Majesty doing? 』

  『Another celebration? 』

  『This big man is... so what, is there still a celebration? 』

  『Hey, this is what really needs a celebration...』

  『It’s up to me to say, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, even without celebrations! 』

  『What you said is interesting, if it’s the other way around…』

  『Hahaha, but this time, the emperor looks like an emperor! It's really my luck! 』

  『That’s right, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, after all, he must look like the emperor of the Han Dynasty...』

  『But in this way, some people should be unhappy? 』

  『Hush! Don't you want to live? ! 』

  『That’s what I said…』

  The chattering people walked away while whispering to each other.

  For most of the ordinary gentry children in Xu County, they are only aware of this level. What they saw was just a celebration, but there are still some people who will see more and think more deeply.

  These people who see more and think further are often members of wealthy noble families.

  In a century-old family, not only money has been deposited.

   It's like the Xun family.

  Xun Wang died of old age in prison.

   Don't care if it was peek-a-boo or what, it's dead anyway.

   The day after the news of Xun Wang's death came out, Xun Yu came back.

  What a coincidence.

   Well, it’s such a coincidence.

   Xun Yu quickly quelled the chaotic situation within the Xun family.

   Then Xun Wang, um, who is Xun Wang?

  Many people began to express that their spirits were not good recently, and their memory began to decline.

  After Xun Shuang's death, as one of the few elders in the Xun family, Xun Wang and Xun Yu didn't get along very well. Having said that, Xun Wang really hated Xun Yu so much, what kind of deep-rooted hatred is there between him and Xun Yu?

not at all.

  The conflict between them is not a personal conflict, but a faction problem.

  The two of them, to a certain extent, are another kind of contest between conservatives and reformers.

   You may not see gunpowder smoke, but you will see blood to some extent.

   Xun Wang represents the conservative faction. Maybe he was dissatisfied with Xun Yu at the beginning, but more because he had to confront Xun Yu since he represented the interests of the conservative faction.

  Xun Yu tends to want reform, or more precisely, improvement. He is a royalist, but not a complete conservative. He agrees with reforms, but does not agree with drastic revolutions. So he chose Cao Cao over the more conservative Yuan Shao.

  That's right, whoever owns the gun, the rich nobles will "listen" to whom, at least on the surface, bowing their heads and ears, respectfully, but in reality?

  Was King Zhou of Shang's knife sharp or disadvantageous? Have you killed enough people? Are the punishments cruel enough? Was the tribal leader and the local princes obedient? Tell Xibohou to eat his own child's meat, will he eat it obediently?

  Of course, the story of the torma may be true or false, but what is interesting is that most people will agree with it, or are willing to sing about it, so what does it mean?

Qin Shihuang cut the leeks of the six countries, Han Liu Bang inherited the tradition of Qin Shihuang and continued to cut leeks, but after only one or two hundred years, the leeks could no longer be cut. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shandong surpassed Guanzhong in turn, and began to cut the leeks in Guanzhong and Shanxi. Why?

  At this moment, in whose hands is the gun of the big man?

   When did you change hands?

   These things are things that those who only think about fighting and killing all day long are unwilling to think about it, but they are gradually calculated by others in the process of not thinking about it.

  Xun Yu's expression was neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor surprised.

   It was like after he learned of Xun Wang's death, it was the same.

   It seems to have been expected.

  『What are you going to do? Guo Jia wobbled, half leaning and half lying down, propped up with his hands, dangling the wine gourd, and said casually, "The Son of Heaven...hasn't made much progress..."

  『The Son of Heaven is still a child. 』Xun Yu's voice was flat.

  『Aha! ’Guo Jia’s tone was ups and downs, the word ‘Aha’ changed at least four tones, ‘The child can mess around? 』

   Obviously, Guo Jia also doesn't like the excuse of "he's still a child".

  After all, when Guo Jia was a child, no one would let him, give him an extra mouthful of food, drink a mouthful of soup, and be punished if he did something wrong, so why let other people’s children mess around now?

  So Guo Jia never tolerated it. If a gentleman has a grudge, he will report it that night. If you can't report that night, you can report tomorrow. As for those who cannot report tomorrow, it may take a long time.

  For example, those things about Guo Jia in Guanzhong. Guo Jia shook the wine gourd for a while, and suddenly felt a little emotional. From a certain point of view, he has indeed been insulted, no matter in terms of IQ or human nature, but he also has some help and growth, even physically, he is also the Chang'an Hundred Medical Center...

never mind. Guo Jia withdrew her scattered thoughts, "What are you going to do?" 』

   Xun Yu was silent for a while, "It's not what I want to do, it's the hussars..."

  『Hussars? ”Guo Jia frowned, then took a breath, “Understood… So, it’s Yangmou? 』

  『Yangmou. ’ Xun Yu nodded.

  『Hmmm…』 Guo Jia pondered, taking a sip of wine, 『Then it is really difficult. 』

  Xun Yu was silent for a longer time, and then slowly said: "Sometimes... I am very worried..."

  Guo Jia stopped talking.

  Xun Yu and Guo Jia have been working hard, trying to break the Yang conspiracy with the Yang conspiracy, but the actual operation situation is far from ideal. In other words, although it has achieved some results, it has not achieved the effect that Xun Yu and others wanted to achieve.

  It's like the "hussar Yangmou" that Xun Yu said this time. Simple as it is, it is also very simple.

   But if it is complicated, it is also quite complicated.

  Conservatives are those people whose main force is the landlord class in Yuzhou and Jizhou. These people began to exert their strength during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and overthrew the Shanxi Group in one fell swoop, becoming the largest profit group in the Eastern Han Dynasty. By the way, they kidnapped the emperor's family and painted the emperor with their own color and taste.

  So at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, why did these big and small landowners in Jizhou and Yuzhou dare to fight with Shanxi Guanzhong?

  Because the economic center of gravity of the Eastern Han Dynasty had shifted to Jizhou and Yuzhou. Whether it is food, grass or goods, they come from Shandong more than Shanxi, especially under the troubles of Xiqiang and Xiongnu, Guanzhong is exhausted.

  In the Western Han Dynasty, Shandong itself was not united. Even if someone wanted to cause trouble, regardless of the Six Kingdoms or the Seven Kingdoms, they each had their own ideas, so even the rebellion was quickly suppressed, and there were not many waves.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a problem in Guanzhong and Shanxi's own camp. Instead, the people of Shandong united under Liu Xiu. In order to gather most of the power, the position of queen was changed, so Guanzhong could not beat Shandong. , A little oppression, internal conflicts erupted, each of them was cautious and wandering, and dead friends were not dead poor, running faster than anyone else.

So if you want to kill people with knives and guns, and kill those opponents, it is really not difficult and very simple, but the most important thing is not to kill people, but to have a prerequisite, that is, the core level of thinking must be absolutely unified, otherwise it may be Just like Jiangdong Sun Ce, he was stabbed in the back as soon as he raised his knife and slashed a few times.

   There is also Li Zicheng of the later generations who played poker against the landlord. He played smoothly at the beginning, and he could win even if his cards were bad. Why? Because it doesn't matter if Li Zicheng's cards are bad, as long as his allies have good cards, and even the landlord himself can split the good cards into singles, so Li Zicheng can win without playing cards.

  In the early days of Li Zicheng, he did win a lot of landlords. He drank and ate meat to play with the landlord’s wife, and the rest of the landlords didn’t dare to fart.

But in Li Zicheng's later period, there were more troops than when he was in trouble before, and the equipment was better than when he was playing cards at the beginning. The generals, troops, horses, money, food, and territory were not better than the one he first played on the poker table. Better off bad cards?

   Then a stud, a few clean.

  Bad cards can win, good cards lose, why?

Because when the cards are bad, everyone sitting at the poker table hopes that the biggest chip player will fall, and everyone is a friend. When he gets a good card, Li Zicheng himself becomes the biggest chip player, and everyone is an enemy. or potential enemies.

  Above the game, not only the dealer betrayed, the referee was eccentric, the upper and lower players fought together, and even the audience stood on the other side. How could Li Zicheng win such a game?

  Li Zicheng continued to hold the knife and gun, but he was about to run away with the knife and gun. Who else could he kill? Can only kill yourself?

  If the core is not down, there is no problem with bad cards.

   Once the core is down, no matter how good the cards are, it doesn't matter.

  The core of the General Hussars is very solid, and if there is no problem, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others are all resourceful, that is, making small troubles, and they can't make troubles. Could it be possible to send troops to sit in front of Hangu Tongguan to demonstrate?

   On the contrary, here in Shandong, the core layer has always been unstable.

Needless to say, Cao Cao, he has been grasping the core. From the beginning to the end, the military government system with the Cao family and Xiahou family as the core, but the problem is that the people of the Cao family and Xiahou family are mixed. Where there is decay and corruption, once it encounters strong pressure, sooner or later there will be problems.

  Yuan Shao, who originally intended to follow the old path like a Guangwu reenactment and Liu Xiu's rebirth, has proved with his life that the present is not what it used to be. Even Yuan Shao's younger brother and best friend Cao Cao were able to fight against Jizhou, and the weak defeated the strong, which shows that not only Shandong cannot be integrated, but even Jizhou is full of disputes. What is the unification of thinking?

   Cao Cao knows this question, Xun Yu understands it, and Guo Jia understands it.

   And now even the Emperor Liu Xie is clear...

  So the emperor wants to hold a "celebration".

   Those who understand, hold chips, or sit, or stand, waiting to bet.

  People who don’t understand become chips and are pressed on the poker table.

  The Son of Heaven's "Celebration" this time is a card that Liu Xie turned over.

   It was not a certain lady who gave the emperor the courage to turn over this card, but the "spectators" before, those "spectators" who stood under the palace wall and watched Cao Cao kill people and trembled.

  If it weren't for the crowds under the palace gate in Xu County, maybe Liu Xie wouldn't be so radical. Of course, this is just a possibility. But what is certain is that in front of such a situation, everyone will be stimulated to a certain extent. Although they may not say or do something on the spot, it does not mean that they will never say or do anything in the future.

  Who wants to be cut like a leek next time?

  So they first found Kong Rong, used Kong Rong's mouth to speak out, and then through the Kong Rong incident, they revealed their "heartfelt voice" to the emperor Liu Xie...

  If it was Liu Xie a few years ago, he might not have noticed these voices, but Liu Xie after several years of struggle, he heard it, so he turned out the cards.

  Relocate Shangshu Desk, one piece.

   Want to hold a celebration, the second one.

   And who gave these "audience" the confidence to support Liu Xie's flop? It was none other than Fei Qian. It is the "courage" that Fei Qian brought to the big and small landlords in Jizhou and Yuzhou.

  『Bachelor of Agriculture and Engineering...』 Xun Yu sighed, "Now that I think about it, this move...is simply..."

  『It looks like leisure, but it is actually terrifying. ’Guo Jia clicked his tongue, ‘But aren’t you also countering now? Well, it's a bit late, but at least it's better than nothing. 』

   Xun Yu was silent.

Indeed, as Guo Jia said, ever since Xun Yu became aware of this problem, he began to seek a solution. He not only trained poor students who replaced those bachelors of agriculture and engineering, but also began to investigate spies and spies among these bachelors of agriculture and engineering. It has achieved certain results.

   But only to a certain extent.

  Because what the bachelor of agriculture and engineering brings is an increase in land income and an increase in the strength of large and small landlords.

   And this point, when these bachelors of agriculture and engineering first arrived in Shandong, no one realized that this was actually a glass of poisonous wine, which seemed sweet, but actually rotted the intestines after drinking it.

Large and small landlords can get more harvests. It seems that Cao Cao’s strength has been strengthened, but it is not, because most of the fields are not Cao Cao’s. Grain and grass, but in most of the land in Jizhou and Yuzhou, those lands are still managed by local gentry and big gentry families, and they are organizing personnel to plant them.

According to the historical development, Cao Cao would have been defeated in the Battle of Chibi until after his defeat in the Battle of Chibi. Because of the massive damage to the troops directly under him, the balance of power was deflected. transferred to the cultivation of the next generation.

  Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao suppressed these big and small landowners, including the emperor Liu Xie, and rubbed them on the ground.

  But it’s different now, Cao Cao couldn’t hold back anymore...

  The reason is that landlords big and small eat better, more, are stronger, and resist more violently than in history. There is no way to lie down and enjoy it like in history.

   And all of this, in the final analysis, is because Fei Qian sent a bachelor of agriculture and engineering.

   At the beginning, it was free and did not require any reward for the Bachelor of Agriculture and Engineering.

In the age of the information explosion in later generations, there are still endless people falling into the trap. In the current big man, even people like Xun Yu and Guo Jia will be suspicious and vigilant, but they can't resist other people's joy. jump in.

  『This matter has been reported to the lord...』 Xun Yu raised his head slightly, looking into the distance.

  Guo Jia nodded, then shook his head again, sighed, "It's difficult. The master is not difficult, the difficulty lies in the master. 』

   Xun Yu frowned slightly, but quickly understood Guo Jia's meaning, and then couldn't control his calm expression, so he also sighed.

  Cao Cao is talented, with great determination and perseverance.

  Xiahou Dun is mellow, fair and loyal.

As the leaders of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, both Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun are very qualified, and they are even very compatible. The two of them trust each other and rely on each other, so they can hand over their backs to each other with complete peace of mind. , and nothing will be concealed, to deceive each other, is a rare two leaders.

   But not everyone with the surname Cao is Cao Cao.

   Not all people with the surname Xiahou are Xiahou Dun.

  Before, almost everyone felt that the lack of Fiqian people was a big weakness.

  But now someone suddenly realized that the small number of Feiqian people is a great advantage.

  『My lord...should...』Xun Yu said a few words softly, then stopped and did not continue.

  Guo Jia listened, but shook his head helplessly. Because since Xun Yu said the word "should", it means that Xun Yu himself is not very sure.

  『Actually, there is a way to deal with it...』 Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu, “You just don’t want to use it. 』

  Xun Yu raised his head, "Following filial piety...a gentleman should have virtue..."

  Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "Hey, I am not a gentleman, I am not worthy, you are a gentleman... But look, this gentleman is not so easy to be..."

  Xun Yu looked at the clouds in the sky slowly stretching and moving, and even his voice became softer, "Big man... When there is a gentleman..."

  『Tsk! Guo Jia shook his wine gourd and shook his head, "You never thought about it, if one day, your gentleman is no longer a gentleman, what will you do?" 』

  Xun Yu lowered his head, seemed to be smiling, but didn't seem to, "Then maybe...he's not a big man..."

   Guo Jia frowned, picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth, but he didn't know when the wine gourd was empty, only a few drops were poured out, and there was no more wine.

  Guo Jia shook the wine gourd up and down a few more times, but still did not pour out the wine. He couldn't help throwing the wine gourd aside in a little annoyance, then stood up, muttering, "I... really... don't want to worry about it..."

   After muttering a few words, Guo Jia not only did not lose his anger, but became more angry. He turned around and shouted at Xun Yu, "Why are you doing this?" No one will thank you for what you have done! No one will! 』

  『Bong Xiao. 』Xun Yu frowned.

  『Would the Son of Heaven think you are being loyal! The lord doesn't think you are doing your duty! Guo Jia waved his arms, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, "Even your clan members don't think you are being filial!" Obviously you have done so much, but no one will thank you! Just scold you! slander you! Ultimately destroy you! 』

   Xun Yu raised his eyes and looked at Guo Jia, "Then Feng Xiao...how about you?" 』

"I..." Guo Jia was stunned as if he had been cast a hold spell, then lay down and closed his eyes, "I... I will be **** off by you sooner or later... I am **** off by you... This big man is not only Are you... isn't the other person a big Han? Forget it, let’s stop talking, I’m going to sleep... Before I’m mad at you, I’m going to drink more wine and sleep more...』

  『Then you sleep in the room. ’ Xun Yu said.

  Guo Jia snorted twice, turned around, gave the back of his head to Xun Yu, ignored him, and did not move.

   Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia, smiled slightly, then raised his head, and turned his gaze to the distance again...
