Some people say that cats often die out of curiosity, but the same goes for people.
There was still quite little entertainment gossip in the Han Dynasty, so as the sun set, the ripples caused by Zheng Xuan's first lecture at Qinglong Temple had already spread among the main city of Chang'an and various tombs.
Although most ordinary people are not qualified to participate in the Qinglong Temple Lecture in person, it does not prevent them from using the Qinglong Temple Lecture as a source of conversation after dinner. It seems that they say it themselves, as if they are really participating in it, and they are somewhat self-conscious.
sense of presence.
"Is there any "Lian Shan"?"
"What? The next batch will have to wait ten days?"
"Which brother has a book and would like to lend me a copy or two? I will definitely be rewarded!"
Zhuge Jin was sitting in a small car and saw such a scene when he passed by the entrance of Chang'an Bookstore. Zhuge Jin stopped the car from moving forward to clear the road blockage, but quietly observed from the side.
"Lian Shan" and "Gui Zang", which were originally no one interested in, seemed to become very popular all of a sudden. People rushed to get a preview of them, and they didn't even wait until the next day. However, originally "Lian Shan" and "Gui Zang"
Even though they were unpopular books, there were only a few sets and dozens of copies in the bookshop, and they were all sold out immediately.
The shopkeeper, sweating profusely, bowed his head repeatedly, "Everyone, everyone! There will definitely be books within ten days! Within ten days!"
"Ten days, that's too long!" Some of the disciples who seemed to have enough money shouted, "Someone pays a high price!"
"That's right, I also offered a high price!"
After figuring out what was going on, Zhuge Jin frowned and waved his hand to let the car continue to move forward. Aren't they just two books? Read it ten days early and read it ten days late. It's really worth paying more.
Go and buy it? Zhuge Jin can't understand this kind of behavior that is just out of vanity. It's like the kidney machine of later generations. The scalpers once increased the price by more than 10,000, but they were still sold out.
The behavior of human beings in deceptive prizes goes far beyond the rush to buy at increased prices. There are even those who lick iron bars every winter, the magic medicine and wine that can cure all diseases, and those such as "I will definitely win this time" and "Should I?"
It will be so unlucky." Wait...
After leaving the city, crossing the Weishui River, and entering the Chang'an Mausoleum, Zhuge Jin could still see and hear groups of gentry disciples talking about Qinglong Temple and related issues raised by Zheng Xuan's lecture from time to time...
"arrive……"
Zhuge Jin looked up and found that he had arrived in front of Xun You's mansion, so he got out of the car.
Speaking of which, although Xun You can be regarded as a newcomer who recently joined the Hussars General, firstly, because of Xunchen's relationship, there is such a courtyard in the Chang'an Mausoleum. Secondly, Xun You is relatively old.
Chang'an was also relatively early, so naturally Xunyou became the gathering place for these new people under the cavalry.
When they entered the courtyard, they found that Wang Chang and Sima Yi had already arrived a step earlier. The four of them greeted each other and then humbly entered the hall. After sitting down, the banquet began.
The food at the banquet was not expensive, because these four people gathered in one place, not for what to eat, but to confirm with each other whether they could pee...
After the greetings, the sky gradually darkened. Xun You asked people to light candles, and naturally started talking about today's Qinglong Temple.
The influence of Qinglong Temple is not only on the classics, but also on Xun You and others. Although like most companies, the time at the top is more flexible, while the time and affairs at the middle and lower levels are more trivial, so Neither Xun You nor the other three could spare time to attend the Qinglong Temple Lecture, but this did not prevent them from observing the changes caused by the Qinglong Temple Lecture through some channels, like Zhuge Jin, and studying and pondering the changes. Cavalry General Fei Qian's future direction...
As he talked, Zhuge Jin shared what he saw when he passed by Chang'an Bookstore. "Given time, you can win more people..."
Zhuge Jin looked at the other three people and said, "What do you think of the general's move?"
It is obvious that the cavalry general Fei Qian wants to use the Qinglong Temple to cause trouble. The current wave in Chang'an is just the first ripple. Only after the external spread spreads, the subsequent impact will slowly become apparent. As the four people who joined the Cavalry General at the same time, with similar status to each other and roughly the same level of economics, they naturally have to deal with this incident. , come up with a more unified direction.
Everyone naturally understood what Zhuge Jin meant.
"Those who enjoy the happiness of the people will also enjoy their happiness; those who are concerned about their worries will also be worried about their worries..." Wang Chang was silent for a moment and suddenly quoted a passage from Mencius. It sounded like he meant that the Hussars General A lecture in Qinglong Temple just met the needs of the people and complied with the joys and worries of the people. But in fact, the meaning of Wang Chang's words was not just what it meant on the surface.
Sima Yi rolled his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Oh? Wen Shu also knows Mencius?" Xun You glanced at Wang Chang.
Wang Chang cupped his hands and replied: "I don't dare to say that it is clear. I will read a few words."
The other three smiled in unison.
By the way, in this era, Mencius and Meng Laoer's status was not as high as that of later generations. The only classics that the gentry children in the Han Dynasty often studied were the "Five Classics" and there was no "Four Books" at all. They had to wait until Zhu Xi officially confirmed the "Four Books". Mencius' position was finally stabilized.
In the Han Dynasty, "Mencius" could only be regarded as a biography, not a classic. For example, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, "The Analects of Confucius", "The Classic of Filial Piety", "Mencius", and "Erya" were each assigned a doctor, which was called "Doctor of Biography", also known as "Doctor of Biography". From one aspect, it reflects that in the early Han Dynasty, Confucius and Meng Laoer had almost the same status. In "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother.
After the sentence Wang Chang just said, there is another sentence: "I am happy with the world, and I am worried about the world, but there is no one who is not a king." Therefore, Wang Chang's meaning was vaguely revealed.
Xun You stroked his beard, but did not immediately say anything about his opinions or attitude. Wang Chang was born in Taiyuan, and was considered to be a member of the aristocratic family who had integrated with the hussar general Fei Qian relatively early on. In addition, he was a member of the Bingzhou faction. Shanxi nobles, so firmly siding with the Cavalry General Fei Qian became an inevitable choice.
Seeing Xun You smiling and saying nothing, Wang Chang turned his attention to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi smiled and said: "A great craftsman will not change the rope and ink for a clumsy worker, and Yi will not change his skill for a clumsy shooter. A gentleman leads but does not shoot, and leaps as fast as he can. As the saying goes, the middle way is established, and those who are capable follow it. The hussar did this
, it is very good to uphold the right way..."
Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "Wen Shu, what Zhongda said is true..."
Suddenly, the three people's eyes were focused on Xun You.
In history, Sima Yi endured it for decades, and eventually a wave of rebellion against Cao Cao broke out. However, the current Sima Yi has no need to endure it, and even deliberately pretended to be sick. On the one hand, it is because General Hussar and Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui are somewhat
Friendship, the Sima family has had a relatively good start and foundation. On the other hand, as the Sima family in Hanoi, here in Feiqian, they have not been suppressed by the Yingchuan Jizhou gentry like they were under Cao Cao.
, so naturally it gradually showed some edge.
Among the four people, Wang Chang and Sima Yi are about the same age, and they are both relatively young, so naturally they need to express an attitude first. This is also the reason why the four people got together.
Xun You represents a series of people who split from Yingchuan headed by Xun Chen, while Zhuge Jin is related to the Jing Xiang faction. Needless to say, Wang Chang and Sima Yi, and this banquet, on the surface, seems to be just
It's an ordinary gathering, but in fact all four people know that it actually means testing each other to see whether they will seek common ground while reserving differences, or go their separate ways.
Among the four, Wang Chang had the worst background, so he was the first to express his stance. Sima Yi also agreed, and said, "Lead but don't lead", "Stand in the middle, and those who can follow it". Zhuge Jin also said that he had some differences with Pang Tong.
Baguai's family relationship means that he is basically on the side of the Hussars General, so naturally there is nothing more to elaborate on, so he expresses his position simply and neatly.
Under the gazes of the three people, Xun You sighed, and finally said slowly: "Mencius said that the three generations gained the world with benevolence, and the three generations lost the world with benevolence. My way today is to seek benevolence...
"
Sima Yi frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Wang Chang. Although Xun You said something good on the surface, it didn't seem to make much sense.
Zhuge Jin laughed loudly, raised the cup of wine and said, "Brother Gongda has cultivated a noble spirit... Come, for the sake of the benevolent people in the world, let's drink the cup together!"
Wang Chang frowned slightly.
Sima Yi's eyes moved slightly and smiled.
But then all four of them raised their wine glasses and drank together. It seemed to be exactly the same as before, and there seemed to be some changes...
……~( ̄▽ ̄)~*……
Western capital.
The sun sets.
Zhang Liao, with all his armor in place, sat on the loess, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if he didn't hear the roaring and strangulation sounds in the distance at all.
The high loess slopes on both sides have folds and folds, and there are dense trees, forming a natural barrier. The Western Capital is like a plug, blocking the middle of this huge crack, becoming a nightmare for the Falcon.
.
Zhang Chen, who was behind the circle, had already set out for a while. He might have bypassed Riyue Mountain, or he might not have arrived yet, but no matter what, Zhang Liao had to block the entire army here and wait for the opportunity to come.
Although the Tubo people were stopped, the dilapidated city wall of the Western Capital also made it impossible for Zhang Liao, Yang Fu and others to have too much defense bonus, so losses naturally occurred.
Therefore, changes must be made.
"General!" Xu Ding turned around from the front and said with a little excitement, "The Tibetan people have retreated!"
"Good! Send the signal! Attack!" Zhang Liao stood up suddenly, then got on his horse and took the lead to get out of the bushes.
This was an adventurous test. Without Zhang Liao to preside over, Yang Fu still repelled the Tubo attack, which was quite good. Of course, the strong crossbows played a very important role. The strong crossbow array was not bad, and the Tubo people
People don't dare to charge unscrupulously. Although the defense of the city wall of Xidu is not strong, it is still condescending. For these Tubo people, most of whom have thin or even no armor, the damage of crossbows is very terrible, and
It was precisely because he sensed the fear of the Tubo people that Zhang Liao boldly ambush in the loess folds far away on the flank of the Western Capital...
In the first few days, Hu Ti Xi Bo Ye sent people to search these nearby loess fold areas. As the war became stalemate, the Tubo people gradually became tired. They habitually believed that the Han people were concentrated under the Western Capital. For
The search and detection of these fold areas are not so detailed.
In addition, the time Zhang Liao chose to attack was not during the battle, but unusually at a time when the Tibetans had been attacking Xidu for a day and were preparing to retreat and recuperate.
Zhang Liao and his 500 cavalry did not raise a flag, nor did they even gather together. Instead, they ran out from behind the surrounding shrubs and trees in scattered groups, and then ignored the Tubo descendants who were still near the Western Capital.
Like a swimming wolf, they silently followed the Tubo people who were retreating towards the formation from the flanks.
When the Tubo people retreated, they habitually divided into sparse skirmish lines, not for defense, but because they were not a unified whole. Without orders, they naturally gathered together according to their respective tribes.
.
The attack on the west has been going on for days, and both the Falcon and the ordinary Tubo people are a little anxious. Although the Falcon is unwilling to admit it, some Tubo people still start to talk about whether the Falcon is too high.
He estimated himself and then belittled the Han people...
If a small city like Xidu is so difficult to defeat, then how can we defeat the Han Chinese city behind it, which is larger and stronger?
Ever since, after the original excitement of coming out of the Tibetan area subsided, what was left was the refractory period.
Taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun, Zhang Liao took the lead and charged towards the retreating Tibetans.
Perhaps there was something wrong when he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, or he felt the murderous intent approaching. The Tubo man who was targeted by Zhang Liao turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats, and suddenly his eyes widened!
This was also his last expression...
When the Tibetan man saw that Zhang Liao's armor was completely different from that of the Tubo man, just as he was about to open his mouth to sound the alarm, Zhang Liao shot him through his mouth, straight through the back of his head!
Blood and brains spurted out together!
Before the nearby Tubo people could react, the big gun in Zhang Liao's hand flew up and down, stabbing out in a series of blows in an instant. Blood spurted out from the vital parts of the bodies of these unlucky Tubo people, and they immediately fell off their horses.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Liao, with more than ten guards, had caught up with this group of lazy and retreating Tubo people. It was like a sharp blade had cut into a piece of meat, or a spark had ignited the fine velvet.
On another occasion, Xu Ding also silently charged into another group of Tubo people...
Why do you shout "This is Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen" when you are in battle?
It doesn't exist at all. Zhang Liao and Xu Ding are like two fierce wolf kings, concentrating on chewing flesh and blood and having no time to howl...
The battlefield that was originally relatively stable suddenly exploded like two cups of cold water poured into a high-temperature oil pan!
