Perhaps it is because humans have known the importance of experience since ancient times, so stupid people always want to be close to wise people. This situation may not be obvious in the era of information explosion in later generations, but in the era of Han Dynasty
In Dianli, even if he can write his own name, he is proud enough, let alone a strategic talent like Guo Jia.
The most fundamental reason why Cao Cao was eager to exchange for Guo Jia, even at the cost of a large number of Jingzhou's population, was because he hoped to regain Guo Jia's wisdom.
Ordinary people, especially farmers who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, do not have much demand for wisdom. They only want to have a full meal after a day of work, and then have a good sleep to prepare for the next day.
work. If there is some extra energy, it is often focused on the immediate things and thinks little about the future.
But Cao Cao is different. When he was a boy, he thought about the whole world and was even willing to take specific actions. Therefore, Cao Cao was more eager to get more information, especially during the period when Guo Jia was in Guanzhong.
The information obtained can be used to judge the gap between Cao Cao himself and Fei Qian...
This world actually has different shapes in different people's concepts. Just like Cao Cao and others believe that the world is flat and there must be an end, blocked by mountains and seas, but Fei Qian is saying that there is an end beyond the mountains.
The sea, the sea used to be mountains, it seemed endless...
Zhang Qian left Sanfu in Guanzhong and then arrived at the "distant" Yuezhi. In the minds of many Han people, it was like reaching the end of the world, with no way out. But for Fei Qian
To put it bluntly, that guy Zhang Qian is indeed amazing, but he actually only went to Central Asia, and he was only halfway there.
Such a cognitive gap is naturally a shock to Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others.
At the same time, there is also suspicion.
"Bring the wine!" As soon as Guo Jia sat down, he ordered unceremoniously, as if the servants in Pang Tong's family were his subordinates.
Pang Tong held his chin and nodded to his servant.
"Drink first! Drink first! If you have enough wine and food, everything will be easy to talk about!" Guo Jia said with a smile and clapped his hands, as if he was about to eat and drink wildly.
"Do you want to excite me by being a filial piety?" Pang Tong smiled, his long and thin beard trembling, "Living in the banquet, drinking wine and meat, don't you lose the style of a celebrity?"
Guo Jia laughed loudly, "The style of celebrities? Haha, is it edible? Is it drinkable? Hahaha... I heard yesterday that Pang Lingjun wanted to entertain a certain person, but that certain person could not bear to eat for a day and a night! Now it's already
Hungry and thunderous!"
Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and waved to the servants to hurry up and serve the food and wine.
Pang Tong was currently in a high position, and the things used in his home were naturally extraordinary. Whether it was curtains, window screens, tables, brocade couches, palace lanterns, incense burners, or ordinary lacquerware, they were all of high quality, so Guo Jia was waiting for the wine and meat.
When he brought it up, he turned his head and looked left and right, tut-tutting and praising it.
"These are all given by Qiusi..." Pang Tong looked at Guo Jia and said, "What do you think of being a filial piety? If you like something, just take it!"
Guo Jia laughed but did not answer, and then just ate the meat served by the servant.
Pang Tong couldn't help but smile when he saw Guo Jia wiping away a plate of pork belly in a blink of an eye, and then motioned to his servant to pass a small jar of stewed carrots to Guo Jia, saying, "The pork belly is greasy, and you can eat gourds."
, relieve annoyance.』
Guo Jia pushed the small earthen pot away and said with a smile: "I heard that Pang Lingjun also likes to eat meat and it is very fat. How can you be so harsh on me when you invite me to the banquet now?"
Pang Tong laughed and asked his servants to bring the pot of braised pork directly.
Guo Jia clapped and laughed, "I'm going to have a great time this time!"
Pang Tong couldn't help but feel his throat twitch when he saw Guo Jia eating meat, but he picked up a carrot and gnawed it, "There is so much meat, why can't we eat it? Only this kind of gourd,
Xijing is beautiful and shows its elegance...』
Guo Jia, who was biting meat in his mouth, moved his cheeks and said vaguely, "I would rather eat meat! When I was young, my parents died early and my family was in poverty. Wen Ruo had to take care of me, so I could get some minced meat..."
…Therefore I am determined to eat more until I die of old age!”
Pang Tong sighed and picked up the wine glass, "Following the filial piety is optional..."
Guo Jia understood what Pang Tong meant, and Pang Tong also knew what Guo Jia meant.
"Yi Yin controls Shang Tang, Lu Wang controls Zhou Wang, the monarch and his ministers are of the same mind, all plans are successful, and all plans are followed..." Pang Tong said slowly, "It is a good thing that the general now exchanges the people of Jingzhou for filial piety and freedom."
...』
Guo Jia was biting a piece of meat. When he heard this, he immediately dropped it and then looked up at Pang Tong.
"It's just that I feel sorry for Gongda..." Pang Tong shook his head and sighed, "With the price of five skins, who can win the virtuous one? There is also Mancheng. If he knows about this, he doesn't know what to think..."
Guo Jia suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and after a moment he said, "The superior will not change his nature, and the inferior will not take away human relations, then the heaven and the earth will be harmonious, and this is the kingly way. The hussar is magnanimous, and Jiaming feels the inner spirit..."
Pang Tong just smiled and did not continue to ridicule. Instead, he motioned to Guo Jia to continue enjoying the wine and meat. However, even though Guo Jia was eating the wine and meat, he seemed to be worried about gain and loss...
Although he said he had received the order from General Hussar, Pang Tong still wanted to work harder, but it was obvious that Guo Jia had no intention of staying, so Pang Tong stopped persuading him later and regarded it as a practice banquet for Guo Jia.
Coming to do it.
The main reason is that Fei Qian made it very clear in his letter. On the one hand, it was Cao Cao's strong request to release Guo Jia, and on the other hand, Fei Qian had already had this intention.
There are many ideas and practices. Cao Cao cannot come to Xijing, cannot contact him, and cannot see actual changes, but Guo Jia can. Therefore, in Fei Qian's strategy, Guo Jia is like a bridge that separates the original
The big things in the world have a chance to be connected again, but to what extent this bridge can be built depends on subsequent changes...
……?(*–-)?……
When people grow old, they are like a parabola. The closer they are to the end, the harder they fall. In other words, the faster they grow when they are young, the faster they age when they are old. When you see a child looking the same every day,
At that time, those elderly people also looked the same every day.
That's what happened to Pang Degong.
In Fei Qian's impression, Pang Degong was still a cheerful old man who loved drinking tea and looking at the mountains and rivers. But what he saw now was that he was already very old, as if he was about to die. His cheeks shriveled, and even his eyes, which were originally full of wisdom,
It looks muddy now.
"Master..." Fei Qian couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart and lowered his head.
Pang Degong opened his mouth, laughed, and waved his hand, signaling Fei Qian to sit down. Pang Degong's teeth were basically all gone, and there were only a few scattered teeth left to fill the scene...
These days, I really don’t even have the simplest braces or dentures. When I reach the age of Pang Degong, I either have to eat mush every day, or I can only swallow it whole.
Even the emperor cannot avoid this...
Moreover, Mr. Pang De's original living habits were not very good. He would go to bed after eating, and would not brush his teeth. He also liked to sit in a mountain pavilion and watch the waterfall. It was so fun when he was young, but he would pay off the debt when he was old. It is like the future generations.
Those beauty lovers who refuse to wear long johns even in winter and have their knees and calves exposed often suffer from rheumatism when they grow old.
Pang Degong's rheumatism was also very severe. There was some visible redness and swelling in the joints. When he moved, he could also see some pain on Pang Degong's face. But the problem was that even in later generations, rheumatism was still a disease that was difficult to cure.
, let alone the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that even Hua Tuo has not yet conducted research in this area...
"How is Shi Yuan today?" Pang Degong asked with a grin.
"Everything is fine, I just prefer silence to movement," Fei Qian replied respectfully, "Some time ago, a certain person dragged Shi Yuan up the mountain..." Then Fei Qian said something about Pang Tong, teasing him.
Mr. Pang De laughed loudly, which made Fei Qian a little worried that the teeth in Mr. Pang De's mouth would suddenly fall out.
"Among the students taught by me, you are the most talented..." Pang Degong smiled, then looked at Fei Qian and said, "However, a saint and a gentleman understand the source of prosperity and decline, understand the root of success and failure, judge and control the opportunities of chaos, and know how to deal with them."
Jie. Although poor, he is not in the position of subjugating the country; although he is poor, he does not live in the position of ruining the country. Those who secretly adhere to the Tao and act when the time comes, will be in the position of ministers to others; if their virtues are consistent with their own, they will achieve extraordinary achievements.
Therefore, his Taoism is high and his reputation will be known to future generations..."
Pang Degong is still like a traditional Chinese teacher. Even if he sees his disciples achieve something, he will still give some advice and advice, telling Fei Qian to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
Fei Qian nodded in agreement.
When I was young, I often felt irritable and even a little disgusted when I heard the big principles. But as I grow older, I will find that if these big principles can be understood earlier and put into practical use, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of the entire life.
After receiving great help, I suddenly realized that the frustration I had when I was young was not that I didn’t know the benefits of these great principles, but that I didn’t know how to do them and how to use them...
And Pang Degong is undoubtedly ahead of many people in this aspect.
Fei Qian still remembered how Pang Degong guided him to think and explore under Lushan Mountain, instead of just indoctrinating him and then leaving it alone. Of course, this may also be the teaching method commonly used by the gentry children in the Han Dynasty, and it is not the same as that of later generations. Each education model has its advantages and disadvantages.
The large-scale cramming education that Fei Qian currently implements in the army and among civilians is actually like a flip-flop for later generations. These two education models that did not originally exist in the same space are now colliding with each other. At the same time, even Fei Qian doesn't know whether there will be any chemical changes in the future.
"Your way..." Pang Degong suddenly felt a little emotional, "When I first heard about it in the past, to be honest, I felt that it was a bit too ambitious... Now I never thought that you would actually implement it, and the results are also remarkable... It really comforts me... …It’s very comforting… However, this road is still difficult to walk… Don’t be careless!』
Fei Qian raised his hands and replied: "Wei, disciples should respect the teachings of their master."
After all, Mr. Pang Degong was getting older. Although he enjoyed talking to Fei Qian, his energy became unsustainable as time went by, and he became more or less depressed.
"One more thing..." Fei Qian suddenly hesitated. He originally thought that Pang Degong's health should be okay, so he planned to go to Guanzhong with Huang Chengyan, but now it seems that there are some problems.
Many elderly people like a more stable living environment. It is not that these elderly people do not want to see great rivers and mountains or visit beautiful scenery. It is often because their physical conditions do not allow it, especially for ordinary people, even if they have some spare money. At hand, the physical damage caused by hard work in youth will show up in old age, and may even lead to inconvenience of movement. Under such conditions, how can you have the desire to play?
This is the case for Pang Degong. At present, Pang Degong is aging, has joint problems, and may have other diseases. Although this is nothing to young and middle-aged people such as Fei Qian, but for old people like Pang Degong, For example, if someone doesn't adapt to the environment and catches a cold or fever, he may even die!
But the problem is that it is not very appropriate to leave Pang Degong in Wancheng. Opportunities like this are almost no longer possible, which means that Fei Qian will not come to Wancheng again for a long time in the future, so he cannot It is guaranteed to be safe along the way, and the older Pang Degong is, the more inconvenient it will be to move.
Pang Degong looked at Fei Qian with somewhat cloudy eyes, and then smiled, "Zi Yuan doesn't need to worry too much... I was born in Jingxiang and grew up in Xianshan... This is the best thing... Cheng Yan can go to Guanzhong, this is That's what it should be... However, I am no longer good at walking because of my old age. If I move a long distance, it may be unlucky! It would be better to stay here. My destiny is actually very beautiful!"
"Go away! Go away! Don't worry about old age!" Pang Degong began to drive Fei Qian away, "Zi Yuan needs to know that one who liberates oneself and teaches others is disobedient, and one who rectifies oneself and transforms others is obedient. It is difficult to follow those who are disobedient, but it is easy for those who are obedient. If it is difficult to follow, it will lead to chaos, but if it is easy to do, it will be logical. That’s right! Go! Go!”
After finishing speaking, Pang Degong closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, ignoring Fei Qian.
Fei Qian had no choice but to remain silent for a moment, then stepped forward to kowtow to Duke Pang before bowing out.
The place where Mr. Pang De lives has an elegant natural environment. If it were spring and summer, you would hear frogs in the pond and listen to Zen in the pine forest, and you would see red flowers and green grass. But now in late autumn, you can only see yellow and red fallen leaves.
Fei Qian walked out and sighed slightly.
With Pang Degong's current reputation, he is naturally the commanding heights among the scholars. If he can really go to Chang'an, it will definitely be of great help to Fei Qian in the next step of integrating Confucianism. On certain occasions, Pang Degong can come forward.
Saying one sentence is more effective than Feiqian saying a hundred.
Unfortunately……
But considering Pang Degong's current physical condition, he is indeed not suitable for traveling long distances.
In desperation, Fei Qian could only give up his original plan...
In addition, Fei Qian wrote a warrant and sent Hua Tuo, a physician from the Baiyi Hospital in Zhuyang, to come to Wancheng to give Mr. Pang De a diagnosis and treatment, which might alleviate some of the pain that Mr. Pang De was suffering.
Fei Qian's left shoulder also suffered from rheumatism during his long military life. Whenever the weather changed, the left shoulder would become sore and painful. If Hua Tuo could develop an acupuncture method for rheumatism, on the one hand
It can relieve Pang Degong's pain, and on the other hand, it may also be able to treat Fei Qian himself in the future.
Pang Shanmin came over, raised his hands and said, "General, the banquet is ready..."
After this battle, Pang Shanmin also suffered some injuries, but fortunately they were not serious. The relationship between life and death is terrifying. This sentence is really true. After experiencing life and death, Pang Shanmin has a little more perseverance and less
It's a bit soft, as if the impurities in the steel embryo have been hammered out.
Fei Qian nodded, and then turned to Wancheng Campus with Pang Shanmin.
The school grounds are spacious and square.
The surrounding area has been cleaned up long ago, and there are no traces left over from the war. The roads and stone slabs have obviously been swept, and there is not much dust. The soldiers guarding them are also in bright armor and in good order.
Since yesterday, Pang Shanmin began to prepare for this banquet. Fei Qian is going to entertain these merchants in Wancheng. In any case, the banquet of Hussar cannot be casual. Cattle and sheep must at least be prepared.
, but also all kinds of vegetables, fruits, etc., and some drinks. Normally, these things would not be a problem, but after the Battle of Wancheng, it was still a bit difficult to prepare them all.
Fortunately, Wancheng was originally very rich in commercial and trade industries, and the time it was besieged this time was not too long. Although the supplies were shorter than before, there were still some...
After all, it is what the Hussars need. Unless the merchants in the city really don't have it, they will be able to find some.
In the school grounds, most of the invited merchants had already arrived early and were sitting in the school grounds, either greeting acquaintances or gathering in twos and threes to chat. It seemed like they were being surrounded during the Battle of Wancheng.
The despair that I felt has disappeared, and now the rain has stopped, the sky is clear, the wind is light and the clouds are light.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the limitations of the variety and quality of food, banquets were more functional to a certain extent, that is, a way to communicate with others, observe people's livelihood, and talk about some things during the banquet, perhaps from
When did a habit form?
By the time of the Han Dynasty, the Chinese people's level of understanding and utilization of animals and plants in nature, both in terms of food variety and overall quantity, far exceeded that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, banquets truly had a dual nature, and even
More focused on entertainment.
On the edge of the school grounds were musicians who originally belonged to the military, but were now also called upon to play some folk tunes in a soothing manner, which added a bit of joy.
"The hussar general invited us to a banquet, but why?"
"This...how can I know this? Is it possible that Brother Zhao knows the secret?"
"Hey! How could Brother Yu know..."
"Or do we need to call in goods again?"
"No way... the reputation of Qiusi has always been good, and nothing like this has ever happened..."
"But what if something changes..."
"Ah? This..."
Before Fei Qian showed up, most of the merchants present were in a state of confusion and uneasiness.
When it was time to turn on the lanterns, when the bonfire and the lights complemented each other, a group of soldiers came slowly. Immediately, the merchants in the school grounds took their seats and waited quietly.
It's not that Qiusi Feiqian wants to put on any airs, but this is a necessary mode.
As all the merchants waited with bated breath, the figure of Hussar finally appeared at the gate of the school ground...
