Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Actually, I made it very clear to my seniors last time. If I succeed in my mission this time and take back the twelve counties of Nanyang, I will be a great hero of the Jin Kingdom, and I will even be expected to go straight to Liu Yu."
At this time, Liu Yi will definitely try his best to prevent me from becoming a high-ranking official in the court out of jealousy, and the high-ranking Jiankang family will also exclude me. Even Liu Yu may not promote me to an official position. I can just use these
If I write an article and take the initiative to resign, the world will think that I was suppressed and excluded by Liu Yu and was forced to leave."
Doupengke smiled slightly: "But even if you use this trick to attack Liu Yu's name, it will only take a few months. After Liu Yu takes over the twelve counties of Nanyang, he will never give up and will definitely send troops to Lingnan or...
Western Shu, eliminate these civil strife forces, or even destroy both of them. The claim to the Nanyang Basin is just to ensure the safety of the rear and flanks. All of this is for the sake of fighting and meritorious service, or in other words, according to the art of war, this
It’s to fight against the enemy, so we need to stabilize the situation around the war zone before taking action.”
At this point, he paused: "In fact, Yao Xing is also cutting ties, giving up the Nanyang Basin, and temporarily gaining Liu Yu's reconciliation. On the one hand, shrinking his troops can reduce food consumption, and on the other hand, he can also use Nanyang's troops to
Ma and part of the Luoyang garrison encircled Hu Xia. He used Guzang City to show his favor to the Liangs. This time he attacked Hu Xia, so he could use this as an excuse to ask Southern Liang or Northern Liang to send troops to help him. Although Hu Xia had few troops, they came to
It has no trace and is extremely mobile. If you want to destroy it, you must attack from Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and Monan at the same time, pursue and intercept it, so not only will you give up Nanyang and stabilize the southern line, but you will continue to do so.
Join forces with Northern Wei and Rouran to attack Hu Xia."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, they are fighting against each other, but Liu Yu is now planning to immigrate to Jiangbei and recruit people from the estates of high-ranking families in Wu. Plus Liu Yi returns to the army, there will be a fight with him."
, it may not be appropriate to send troops to Xishu or Lingnan at this time."
Doupengke smiled slightly: "No matter where we fight, there will always be a place to attack. Attacking collaborators and allies internally is by no means a merit recognized by everyone. Our brother Jinu is still the most majestic on the battlefield. If this
If Yao Xing doesn't give him Nanyang, he may directly capture Nanyang by force, or even attack Luoyang and Guanzhong next. Such a great achievement is much better than conquering Xishu or pacifying Lingnan. Okay, let's not mention these for now.
Just say that if you leave Liu Yu, how can you continue to damage his reputation?"
Tao Yuanming stroked his beard proudly, looked at Ba Shui passing by in front of him, and said: "In this world, you don't necessarily have power, soldiers and horses are the ones who can influence the world. Sometimes, the reputation in the hearts of the world is more important than the reputation in the world.
These visible powers are even stronger. Just like Kumarajiva. He has no officials, no power, no soldiers, no generals. He is even a monk. However, in the north, he is regarded as a living Buddha and comes to his temple every day.
There are probably more men and women who worship him and trust him than those who believe in the emperor Yao Xing."
The man in the cloak frowned slightly: "I had an argument with Kumarajiva just now about this matter. I said that these monks are not engaged in production, but they just make up some empty words about reincarnation and doing good deeds to deceive people.
When people give up their resistance to this world and place their hopes in the next life, they are actually just some moths that are not productive. But I just don’t understand why so many people believe that they are clearly moths?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Sure enough, even a wise man may make mistakes after all his considerations. My lord is a great talent, so naturally it is difficult to understand the mentality of these ordinary people. For them, give them land, give them farm tools, and protect them from war.
Yao Xing, who can live in this world, is not a benefactor, because he also collects taxes from them, collects taxes from them, and makes them hand over silk and cloth. They work hard, but they support Yao Xing and those officials, and those who protect them
The soldiers and horses who are not killed and plundered also eat their food. These people are not benefactors to them, but enemies."
Doupengke sneered and said: "All things are born, and they are followed by rulers. It is necessary for these rulers to form a country, build an army, and organize production, so that the people of the country can have food to eat and not be attacked by others. These principles can be understood by a three-year-old child.
You should understand, but as a farmer and a village woman who has lived all her life, why don’t you understand?”
Tao Yuanming said with a smile: "Because they don't think about these issues at all. They just think that farming and distribution are their own abilities, and they don't need anyone to give them. They don't feel it when the state grants land to them. They think it's a matter of course, and they have to levy and harvest it."
But Shi Shi felt that he had suffered a huge loss because he was trying to rob his own things and his children. Of course, if he lost the protection of the country and was slaughtered by the enemy's army, he would cry for protection and rely on others.
The leader of a powerful armed group, but after a few months of stable life, he will fall back into his old ways and feel that it is okay to have no country in the world to protect him. When I wrote Peach Blossom Spring in the past, it was because I had too many contacts with villagers who thought like this.
There are so many, so I express my feelings."
Doupengke laughed and patted Tao Yuanming on the shoulder: "Yuanming, you come from a humble background. No one understands the thoughts of these ignorant people at the bottom better than you. I originally read your Peach Blossom Spring and thought it was too ridiculous.
How can there be such a place in the world, where you can escape from the existence of the court, the army, and the emperor?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "It is impossible to have such a place in reality, because the people without power and protection will definitely be attacked and plundered. Even if there is such a small village, it will not exist for long. If there is to be resistance
The power of foreign enemies must be organized and powerful. This is fundamentally in conflict with the situation in Peach Blossom Spring where there are no rulers, no soldiers and horses, and no taxes. However, such a place is the ideal in the hearts of ordinary people.
The world is difficult and all living beings are suffering. Everyone hopes that no one will tax them, no one will draw dice from them, no one will attack them, and no one will be able to drive them."
Doupengke said coldly: "It's just the extreme of Huang Lao's theory, but what you just said is very good. There is no such place in reality, so the ignorant people hope for such a place. Over time, they deceive themselves and others.
After more, I really believe that there will be such a paradise on earth."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "That's right. Kumarajiva is actually the same. He doesn't collect taxes from the people. He doesn't infringe or harm the people. He even helps them chant sutras and pray for blessings and eliminate karma. Compared with Yao Xing,
Those who are like human emperors are Living Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Therefore, the common people prefer and respect these eminent monks. Living Buddhas, even if they cannot afford to eat, still have to provide them with incense and incense, as if their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all obtained by chanting sutras and chanting by these eminent monks."
