Chapter 3169 This means that
It’s snowing in Xu County.
This kind of spring snow undoubtedly disrupted many people's original plans.
It's like the "reduction of the Shanshan Kingdom" from the Western Regions, like the flying snow all over the sky, covering the sky, no matter who is ready or not mentally prepared at all.
As for why it is a "democratic" rather than a "contract", it is because many people in Shandong cannot understand what a "contract" is, so they can only replace it with an old vocabulary they are accustomed to and can understand.
For many ordinary people, Shanshan is a distant country, even far away to a level that they cannot imagine. Do Shanshan people have two mouths? Or have they had more eyes? Or are they buck teeth, naked and pointed at them?
Because originally in Shandong, the description of the outside world is always wild and uncivilized. If it moves, it is "The land of the Southern Barbarians is blurred with smoke and water, majestic miasma, and fragile. The climate is damp and hot, and the drought is not coordinated. There are many mountains and gorges, the road is difficult and difficult to move. "
Then in those places, the people are "the nature of the East Yi, the politeness is poor, the righteousness is weak, the ability to fight, the mountains and the sea are safe, and they are strengthened by danger." Otherwise, they are like wild animals, when the flowers are blooming in spring, men and women will go to the river to take a bath, and then breed freely...
So the Shandong people of the Han Dynasty looked at each other and envied each other, thinking that they had not encountered such a good thing that was confused?
But what is interesting is that when someone proposes to attack these wildernesses, someone will jump out to express that these barbarians are "harmonious and peaceful, and the people are at peace, and there is no way to achieve it."
Um?
Didn’t the government say that these barbarians outside China all live in dire straits?
So if we go to rescue these barbarians, shouldn’t these barbarians be welcomed by food?
The official coughed and said that I never lie, and I have never told a lie in my life. As for the dilemma, it is certain, but it is not time to fight the barbarians. As for what time to wait? "If you are chaotic and distant from the upper and lower parts, you can walk in between. If you get up, you will have a gap. If you have a gap, you will have a moral character and cultivate your virtue. If you have a solid armor and attack it, you will definitely be defeated."
The people of Shandong hummed twice, and most of them understood that they had been deceived.
In fact, the people of Shandong also know that the barbarians outside China may not be really in dire straits, and they may not be better than the local Chinese, but they have such old rhetoric every day...
Is it interesting?
The official also hummed twice, then muttered, "The people can be used to not know it." and left.
Therefore, the connection between the upper and lower levels in Shandong is disconnected, and the fundamental reason for this disconnection is deception.
Deceiving superiors and hiding subordinates.
Just like this time the Shanshan Kingdom delivered a treaty to Xu County, claiming to the people of Shandong was "reducing the bill" and then slightly stated that this was just a cavalry... Oh, the rebel Fei Qian's attempt to seek peace and compromise was not worthy of any attention. Come on, come on, show you another melon, this newly elected courtesan of Anpingfang, is this melon big, round and white?
As for the people in the upper level of the court, they were all shocked and each one was intoxicated.
Since the Han Dynasty, there has been no record of destroying other countries, but it was basically done by Emperor Wu of Han, including Nanyue, Dayuan, Wei clan Korea, and the Xiongnu in the Northern Desert...
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the short-sighted peasant economy would only focus on the land and tenants under the nose, and gradually no longer have external desires.
Of course, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not without foreign wars.
For example, the Huns.
If the Eastern Han Dynasty’s struggle for the Western Regions was considered a foreign war, that would be fine. But the more accurate one should be “Futong”. And the wars against the Western Qiang or other foreign tribes are sometimes more about dealing with them rather than taking the initiative to conquer.
Overall, the outward steps stagnate until Fei Qian appears.
Many people have never thought that Fei Qian would split the Shanshan Kingdom into two directly, and then signed this Shanshan Treaty...
In history, Cao Cao's arrangement of the Southern Xiongnu in the later period was somewhat related to the division of the enemy's borders, and then attacking the Wuhuan people was considered a foreign war. Liu Bei and Sun Quan also had conflicts due to the regional connection between foreign races, but these things had nothing to do with the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The courts in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were weak.
So, watching Fei Qian attacked the Western Regions alone, wielding his army to advance directly, and in a blink of an eye, he calmed down the chaos in the Western Regions, and divided the Shanshan Kingdom into two and asked his king to sign a treaty. No matter from which perspective, Fei Qian's method was simply fast and ruthless. He was really worthy of being a great Han cavalry. He seemed to have stretched out his huge hand to hold the entire Western Regions to the ground in an instant.
Logically speaking, the Shanshan Treaty is a good thing and a happy event, but for some people, they cannot feel any joy.
For example, Liu Xie.
The Han Dynasty opened up its territory and overthrew its foreign countries as if it were turning its palms. As the emperor, it should be happy, but Liu Xie woke up at night.
When Liu Xie suddenly sat up from the bed, he was covered in cold sweat on his forehead.
The light was dim, and the sky was chaotic outside the window, and there was a slight sound on the roof, and snowflakes flew down.
He got off the bed, put on his clothes, gritted his teeth, and experienced everything that day in his heart.
At that time, Dong Zhuo forced Liu Xie to move the capital with force, and then millions of Heluo people staggered forward like walking corpses on the road to Chang'an.
That year, there was heavy snow in Chang'an.
Chaotic fight, bright red blood.
Even the blood cannot melt the ice.
Before Dong Zhuo, no one in the Han Dynasty had ever thought about how much damage a military general on the border would cause to the Han Dynasty.
Of course, in Liu Xie's heart, Dong Zhuo was the representative of causing trouble to the court. As for the scars of Dong Zhuo's bloody battle in Xiliang, Liu Xie had long forgotten it.
After Dong Zhuo, the ambitious people among the Han Dynasty realized that the Han Dynasty was so weak...
Under such circumstances, the order that the Han Dynasty had barely maintained was completely destroyed.
The alliance of Sourjuana is more like "anti-Han" than "anti-Dong". The princes at the gathering said that they were for the emperor, but in fact, for what they knew.
So the annexation and killing of each other began.
Liu Xie slowly got up, and did not disturb the little eunuch who was sleeping in a corner. He put on brocade boots and fur, walked a few steps out, pushed open the warm room, and stood in front of the window.
The window covered with fine silk shines with chaotic light, shining on Liu Xie's face, like a meager hope.
When news from Shanshan Kingdom came, Liu Xie was not happy, but was scared.
Liu Xie recalled more than once that if Wang Yun had just killed Dong Zhuo, the Han Dynasty would have had a breath, as long as he could rectify the situation, even if he gave up some authority, the Han Dynasty could still control the situation.
As a result, Wang Yun failed again, and this time the dignity of the entire Han Dynasty completely collapsed.
It can be said that it was the powerful ministers who harmed the country, and it was caused by the overwhelming power of the Han Dynasty. Many emperors of the Han Dynasty could not compete with it, so the humiliation suffered by Liu Xie was nothing, but what were Li and Guo? They were just chaotic soldiers. As a result, only a few thousand chaotic soldiers made the Han Dynasty doomed.
That year, it was snowing heavily.
The blood is very red.
For some reason, Liu Xie always felt that Chang'an was like a ferocious beast, tearing the flesh and blood of the big man.
No matter who the owner of Chang'an is.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." The eunuch curled up at the foot of the bed woke up and found that Liu Xie had actually walked outside and stood in front of the window. He was so scared that he rolled out and crawled out, and his words were not smooth.
Liu Xie stopped the little eunuch's words and deeds that were too panicked, but did not refuse the brocade robe that the little eunuch gave him.
He stood in front of the window and was indeed a little cold.
When Liu Xie put on his brocade robe, he immediately felt warm.
However, Liu Xie was stunned again because the brocade robe he wore was the cold-proofing product produced in Guanzhong...
After hesitating for a while, Liu Xie turned to ask the eunuch, "You serve me loyally, I... I reward you with one hundred gold..."
Gold is not gold, but red gold, that is, copper coins.
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, then he kowtowed and thanked him with a smile.
Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled, but his smile quickly closed and turned around and continued to look out the window.
Outside the foggy window.
Not to mention one hundred gold, even one hundred kilograms of gold can be afforded by Liu Xie now.
However, after all, he couldn't afford some rewards.
...
...
Snowflakes are flying.
Usually, it was dawn at this time, but now it is still in chaos.
A carriage staggered in the snow. Even if the lanterns raised on the side were covered with oil paper, they seemed to be dizzy and flickered by the wind and snow, and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
The carriage stopped.
The servant hurried forward and placed the stairs made of wooden boards under the carriage.
Zhong Yao got off the carriage, stepped on the wooden steps, and then walked up the steps covered with snowflakes.
His originally clean and tidy brocade boots were accidentally stained with snow water. The snow water quickly spread on the brocade, like blood stains...
Zhong Yao entered the house.
There was no one in the room, but soon, people came one after another, sitting with each other, silent.
The servants came and went, and served some hot tea.
Yuan Kan, who was in Zhong Yao's lower position, frowned and looked at the hot tea, "Let's just change some wine... This tea is getting colder and colder the more you drink..."
The servant turned to look at Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao's wind does not move, his eyes closed slightly.
The servant took down the hot tea, warmed the wine, and then placed the brazier in the corner of the hall.
After everything was arranged, the servant retreated and silence fell into silence.
A branch outside the window seemed to be unable to bear the burden of the snowflakes. It shook a little, shook the snowflakes a little, and seemed to raise their heads and chests lightly, but soon, the snowflakes attached again and lowered their heads bit by bit.
"Fuck..." As soon as Yuan Kan issued a syllable, he saw Zhong Yao's warning eyes, and coughed and swallowed the prime minister or the old thief behind the syllable. "What does this Shanshan Treaty mean?"
Zhong Yao was silent, thinking, and did not speak immediately.
Normally, shouldn’t Cao Cao take down this treaty and hide it?
This behavior is like...
Just like the King of Zhou was attacking King Zhou, but in the end he said that King Zhou had attacked Dongyi and expanded his territory?
This kind of thing can be said, "Emperor Zhou's intelligence is very quick and sensitive to hearing and seeing things, is extremely capable, and is a beast in his hands." But can King Zhou say that King Zhou cut off the witch gods and secular worlds and completely separates the power of the gods and the kings. Is it wonderful to do? King Zhou can only say that King Zhou is drunk, stops the nobles, uses villains, listens to women's words, believes in fate, and is exempt from sacrifices...
Badge?
Punch your heart?
Caesarean section?
Sorry, Ji Fa cried. Why didn’t I think of this at that time?
So now it's like Ji Fazheng preparing for the Battle of Makino, and then suddenly a word came out, Di Xin is still a good comrade, which makes everyone feel strange while also feeling strange.
Could Cao Cao be stupid?
They don't believe it.
Since Cao Cao is not stupid, Cao Cao must have some plans for this move.
So what is Lao Cao’s plan?
Cui Lin narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Is it because he is asking for a way out?"
Cui Lin, just by looking at this surname, you can tell which side of the relationship it is. The Cui family in Qinghe represents the Jizhou man.
Cui Lin used Yuan Kan to get in touch with Zhong Yao.
So in a sense, today's not-so-large room is an important occasion for three parties to meet.
Yingchuan faction, Jizhou guy, opposition party.
Of course, Cui Lin said this with some basis.
The complete failure of Cao Chun in Youzhou has become a must-have appetizer for Jizhou men before meals. When talking about Cao Chun’s unlucky affairs, you can eat an extra bowl of corn without adding sauce.
This is the news that Jizhou masters have not yet known the failure of Le Jin and others in Huguan. Otherwise, Jizhou masters would not even be able to drink small wine...
Should!
Who made Cao Cao not believe in the strength of Jizhou men? He was unwilling to reuse Jizhou people?
Look, this is the end of nepotism!
It seemed as if Cao Cao had asked the Jizhou people to command military power at that time and then let the Jizhou people do everything, and he would definitely have won victory.
Of course, they chose to forget the fact that most of Yuan Shao's generals were from Jizhou.
Yuan Kan glanced at Zhong Yao, and saw that Zhong Yao was still moving, so he asked Cui Lin in a low voice, "Youbei... is indeed so corrupt?"
Cui Lin nodded slightly.
The fine tradition of China, good things don’t go out, bad things pass through thousands of miles.
But this incident in Youzhou was not intentionally exaggerated by Cui Lin, but it was really so bad.
Although Cao Chun finally made a fight, it was too late, and it was under the wind and snow. Even healthy people might not be able to resist the freezing in the snow, let alone the injured soldiers and the people?
With the previous killing and destruction of the Hu people in Youzhou, the entire Youzhou can be said to have retreated for decades. It is even worse than when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought. There is a lack of population, barren land, and destruction of facilities. It is impossible for Youzhou to recover its vitality without one or two generations.
It should have been a tragic thing, but in Cui Lin's description, there was no feeling of sadness, and there was even a hint of happiness. If you cooperate with Cui Lin's finger gently tapping on your knees and not listening to the content, it seemed like you were singing some lyrics...
That's right, even though Youzhou fell, Jizhou was not enough to eat enough, he also ate a bite of fat meat.
Although the people of Youzhou who fled to Jizhou did survive, most of them lost their personal freedom from then on and became slave tenants to the owners of Jizhou manors. They will voluntarily contribute everything to the owners of the manors under the small peasant economic system for generations.
Therefore, Cui Lin felt that from this perspective, the Cao army's attack on the cavalry was frustrated, so the Shanshan Kingdom treaty might be the step that Cao Cao wanted to get off the high platform and lay the groundwork first.
Yuan Kan nodded, "Brother Cui's words are reasonable..."
Zhong Yao had different opinions, "Maybe...Fei is the trouble of Yihuo..."
If the cavalry made new contributions, if the normal promotion process is followed, I am afraid that only the position of general can be used for rewards.
Anyway, Lao Cao would definitely not let go of the position of prime minister.
However, if the general who did not follow the route of the relatives of the inner palace was promoted step by step, it was really beneficial to the Han Dynasty. No matter what the emperor Liu Xie thought, he would say that Huo Guang, the general who was in charge of the Shangshutai, had killed many famous families?
And if Fei Qian is really like Huo Guang, he becomes the core figure in power in the world, then Xintian Zheng in Guanzhong will inevitably be promoted to the entire Han Dynasty. At that time, can these gentry and landlords in Shandong who are old-fashioned and suck blood with peace of mind and joy?
Therefore, Zhong Yao believed that Cao Cao's move was more like a warning.
Old Cao worked so hard that he couldn't help but jump around. If Jizhou and Yuzhou were still standing by, who could still resist Fei Qian?
After hearing Zhong Yao's words, Yuan Kan frowned and nodded, "What Mr. Zhong said is very reasonable."
When Yuan Kan said this, neither Cui Lin nor Zhong Yao were satisfied.
Are you a monk Sha in love? The master is right, the eldest brother is right, should you come together with another second brother?
When Yuan Kan saw Zhong Yao and Cui Lin's faces, as a political intermediary, he naturally understood that his obscene attitude was not popular, so he started to think of a question...
"Mr. Zhong, Brother Cui..." Yuan Kan said with a serious expression, "No matter what the intention of Prime Minister Cao is doing for the time being... Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... I mean, why did the cavalry send envoys to come?"
Zhong Yao and Cui Lin were both stunned.
Yes, just now, they both speculated what Cao Cao wanted to express through such behavior, but forgot that the envoy did not come from Cao Cao, but was released by Fei Qian, so what does Fei Qian mean by doing this?
"This..." Zhong Yao frowned and asked, "What are your opinions? You listen carefully."
Yuan Kan had any ideas, but he showed the flexibility and flexibility of political donors, and he laughed and seemed confident. "I thought... I might as well wait until a certain visit to Duan and then make a decision... It would be safer..."
Isn’t political donations just colluding between all parties and then profiting from them?
Now that there is such a great opportunity in front of you, how could Yuan Kan miss it?
Cui Lin nodded for a moment and agreed.
Zhong Yao stared at Yuan Kan, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "You might as well find Xun to investigate..."
Yuan Kan was shocked, "Xun Lingjun?!"
Zhong Yao shook his head and smiled, "No, no... Is there only Xun Lingjun in the Xun family?"
"Oh..." Yuan Kan suddenly realized, and immediately he understood what Zhong Yao meant.
Chapter completed!
