Chapter 2276 The psychological gap between ideal and reality
"The people who are greedy for ink start with sheep's tongue, greedy for ink's pursuit, fame, wealth and color, greedy for ink's skills, bullying the subordinates and bullying..."
"The Grand Tutor of the Han Dynasty, Duke Jia, made a statement to Emperor Xiaowen and said, "Those who have spoken out say that the world is already in peace and order, but I alone think that it is not yet done. Those who say that the world is in peace and order are not foolish but flattering." Jia Gong's words are not harsh accusations.
Yes, this is the truth. It is foolish not to consider its disadvantages, but to praise it for peace and stability, and to praise it for peace and stability without considering its talents and incompetence."
"Nowadays, the land west of Longyou and Hexi is said to be in peace and order, but in fact it has been treacherous and reckless for a long time. The officials are greedy and the soldiers are weak, and the people are struggling to make a living. When there are floods and droughts, thieves thrive. Taxes and servitude increase, food and drink are not needed, and everything is used."
pole……"
"Those who are greedy for money use it as money, but in fact they are going against their roots. They accumulate bribes to seek transfer, and they work up and down. As a court official, they do not ask for mulberry crops or water conservancy. They only seek yellow and white color. They exploit the merchants who come and go, bend the laws and regulations, and do whatever they want.
, Over a long period of time, morality has declined, and the country will not be able to survive..."
"If the Tao is not upright, the duties are unclear, and there is no governance, how can there be a country? Those who are officials, hold on to their salary and flatter themselves, those who serve the people, fear crime and obey, even if there is peace and order for a while, war and chaos will eventually be inevitable! The rule of the world and
If it is not cured, the peace and unrest of the people will be decided here."
"Ten years of suffering will be cured today, and a hundred years of recovery will begin today."
"This message should be heard widely."
Just when Zhang Liao was dealing with the horse thieves, a piece of writing spread throughout Hexi.
With the release of the memorandum, some people were panicked, others were suddenly enlightened, and then all kinds of undercurrents began to surge.
Many smart people know the usual tactics used by the Han cavalry generals, which is to "ceremony first and then soldiers". When "li" is used, it is an upright "ceremony", but when it is used "soldiers", it is also a ruthless "soldier".
If you are not smart...
That's hopeless.
This is not it, the "gift" is here!
In the appeal, it seemed that it just briefly talked about the historical origin of the so-called corruption of ink, and then elaborated on some of the techniques of corruption. However, many people sensed some vague dangers in this plain appeal.
Because in the epilogue, the sheep tongue carp is mentioned at the beginning.
Speaking of the Twenty-Four Histories of China, in fact, when you look at it, it is more like a history of corruption. There were as many corrupt officials in the past dynasties as crucian carp crossing the river, but there were very few honest and simple officials in high positions.
.
In history, it is far from clear who was the first corrupt official, but the first corrupt official to be mentioned in writing, that is, the originator of the word "corrupt ink", was the aristocrat of the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period.
This guy Yang Yangui is a typical second-generation official. His father is a high-ranking official in the Jin State, and his brother Yang Yangui is also an important minister of the Jin State. Yang Yangui, who grew up in this family environment of an official family, has a relationship
In fact, his father and brother had already knitted the net for him, and generally speaking, his starting point was very high.
The Yangtongue, who received special care, served as the fake Sima of the Jin State at the beginning. Then he began to use public power to accept and demand bribes without concealment, and even the object of his blackmail was a person.
The king of the country. Of course, to a certain extent, this behavior can also be interpreted as invading the strength of other countries, but a subsequent incident left the sheep tongue squid with no excuse.
In the Jin Kingdom, there was a dispute between two aristocratic families over the boundaries of their land. Then one of the wealthy families, Yongzi, married his daughter to Yang Tongue. Then, without saying a word, Yang Tongue immediately ruled in Yongzi's favor and sentenced him to death.
The land originally belonging to another nobleman, Marquis Xing, was assigned to Yongzi.
It seems right for Sheep Tongue Carp to do this. Since they are both in-laws, they naturally want to help...
Or maybe the sheep-tongued squid thinks that it can be awarded to Yongzi first, and then allocates some to Xinghou after Xinghou also sends beauties. Wouldn't it be great to take advantage of both sides and hug him from left to right?
Of course, later generations will have no way of knowing what the mutton-tongued squid was thinking.
It's just that Xinghou had a bad temper. After the verdict, he immediately picked up a knife and splashed blood all over his body. He not only killed Yongzi, but also Yangtongue, and then surrendered...
Someone's life was at stake. After the big incident, Han Xuanzi, who was in charge of the Jin Dynasty, had to personally come forward to settle the matter. He called Yangtongue's brother, Yangtongue, and asked, "Who killed your brother?"
The murderer is here, what do you think we should do?
Yang Yangui had no choice but to say that all three of them were guilty. His younger brother Yang Yangui's crime was "mo", which was to discredit the king and his own family...
That's probably what it means.
However, the implications of this current piece of writing are somewhat intriguing.
Sheep tongue carp, greedy for ink, dead,
Yongzi, bribed, died.
Marquis Xing committed a crime and died.
No matter how many reasons and excuses the three had, in the end it was decided that "all three are guilty."
So, do you understand?
As soon as the memorandum came out, many big households couldn't sit still. Didn't this make it clear that they were going to finish the job at the same time, and it was still at the level of governance. It's such a big pit, so don't jump down!
So in various counties and counties, those big households that had secretly lent money to the magistrates and magistrates to fill their warehouses began to ask for it back. If they didn't get their money back before it was finalized, they would be sentenced to a crime.
For a crime like "Yongzi", where can I cry?
Then where are the county magistrates and mayors in various places willing to do this? Once we take back this money and so on, won't everything be exposed? If we all die together, the paralyzed big dog wants to leave us alone and live alone, don't even think about it!
At first, only one or two counties were in trouble, but then all the counties and towns had the same disputes. The alliance that had been cooperating with each other instantly fell apart due to interest issues.
Wuwei, many people immediately started to jump over the wall in a hurry.
In addition, after the news that Zhang Liao slaughtered Zeng Dahu's gang of horse thieves spread, almost everyone realized that this time's message was probably not just talk, but that he was really going to take action...
First, some county and township officials couldn't sit still, so they took advantage of the situation and killed one or two big households to confiscate their homes and settle their accounts. However, more and more big households saw that the situation was not good and sent people to Han Guozhi.
Department of "Report and Expose"...
The entire land of Longyou in the west of Hexi suddenly felt like a piece of pus bursting open, with blood and thick water flowing everywhere!
In this way, the mess will definitely be messed up, but after completely squeezing out the thick water, the injury will not continue to worsen, but there is still the possibility of recovery and even growth again.
After all, Han Guo was a bit young. Seeing such a situation, he couldn't sit still. He was inevitably a little panicked in his heart. But fortunately, the old fox Jia Xu was sitting in the rear and sent a letter to calm Han Guo's mood.
He also instructed Han Guo to continue sending personnel to some places where the dense water had been exposed and had been treated to take over local administration.
To put it simply, Zhang Liao is like a scalpel, cutting east and west, causing blood and thick water to overflow everywhere, breaking the original order and interest alliance, and then Han Guo
Just like mending needlework, following Zhang Liao, he was responsible for sewing up the cut wound first, while Jia Xu slowly moved forward from behind, like a piece of plaster, applied bit by bit.
A little bit of governance…
This method makes many people stunned, because these people have never thought that such an operation can be done!
Among these people, there are naturally Qiang people, especially Beigong.
Unlike most Qiang people, Beigong is quite familiar with the administrative model of the Han people, so he never believed that Zhang Liao, Jia Xu and others would play such a big role...
It is clear that even if we have to sacrifice a year or even many years of taxes, we must also thoroughly rectify the attitude of the officials!
After all, in Beigong's impression, Han officials seemed to be incapable of doing anything other than collecting money, then thinking of ways to collect it, and ultimately being shameless in collecting money.
As for the current changes, Beigong frowned, feeling that this seemed to be a good thing, but it also seemed to be a bad thing. For ordinary people, Han officials with clearer administration are of course better, but for the Qiang people
Will the same conclusion be reached? Will the more powerful the Han people be, the more unlucky the Qiang people will be?
Ordinary Qiang people can ignore this issue, but Beigong can't help but think about it, because he knows that if he doesn't think about this issue, maybe no Qiang people will consider it.
"Come here! Go and invite the leader... to discuss matters!"
Beigong finally made up his mind and asked his men to start gathering other tribal leaders.
……(` Dis’)……
Gongsun Du on the other side also had to make up his mind.
As time went by, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Gongsun Du.
Although Gongsun Du repeated his old tricks and wanted Ding Ling and Cao Jun to fight each other without much creativity, in reality, Ding Ling and Cao Jun were not fools. They did not act according to Gongsun Du's script. Instead, Cao Chun
After raiding Lulong Village and controlling Lulong's return route, Gongsundu felt extremely uncomfortable.
Gongsun Du was determined to win the battle before retreating. This would at least ensure a stronger morale, and would not lead to collapse and total defeat as soon as he retreated. But the problem is that what he thinks and what he does are always enemies.
If everything in this world could come true, there wouldn't be so many sad pasts and regrets.
We cannot retreat easily...
This is a very simple conclusion.
Because Gongsun Du was in Liaodong, he was really called a local emperor. If he ran back in disgrace now, even if he was unscathed during the withdrawal, it would definitely cause some people in Liaodong to start to drift.
What's more, Gongsun Du believed that if he withdrew his troops easily, he might not be able to stop Cao Jun's pursuit.
"mean!"
"Shameless!"
"No morals!"
"Shameless!"
Gongsun Du cursed Cao Cao more than once, saying that this bastard Cao Cao was simply not a human being. The peace talks had only been going on for a long time, and the mat was not even cold yet. This was already a sign of regret and loss of face. But Gongsun Du had nothing to do.
After all, the previous treaty and peace talks were just "negotiations" and had not yet reached the stage of formal "alliance", so to say that Cao Cao turned his back and refused to admit it, in fact, to a certain extent, it is nothing...
In the midst of anxiety, Gongsun Du received the news that the Ding Ling people had retreated, which made him finally make up his mind that he could not drag it out any longer and had to evacuate, otherwise he would suffer greater losses if he stayed in the north of Youzhou.
Gongsun Du immediately called Liu Yi and announced that his strategic goal of attacking Youzhou had been completed. However, the treacherous Cao Cao ruined everything, especially Cao Chun who dared to sneak attack Lulong Village, which was an unforgivable crime. Cao Cao must be punished.
It’s just a lesson to teach Cao’s army more knowledge...
Of course Liu Yi still said the same old saying, "My lord is right..."
Immediately, Gongsun Du sent someone to contact Ding Ling and said that he had voluntarily abandoned Yuyang City in accordance with the previous agreement with Ding Ling. Then the entire army was dispatched and rushed to Lulong Village before Cao Jun arrived.
.
Not only that, Gongsun Du also left some hidden manpower in Yuyang City, just waiting to set fire to anyone who entered the city, whether it was Ding Ling or Cao Jun. In this way, no matter which side occupied Yuyang
, are unable to escape immediately, and there is no way to obtain more resources.
But what Gongsun Du didn't expect was that neither Ding Ling nor Cao Jun stepped on the trap he left...
For the Ding Ling people, many people were frightened by Cao Hong's large-scale suspicious soldiers. Even if they had some doubts, they did not dare to test the lives of people in their own tribe. Therefore, even the most greedy people gradually began to lose their temper under the threat of death.
Will be more sober, and accept it when things get better has become the main trend of thought.
Under such a situation, even if there are Dingling people who think Yuyang is good, they just feel that it is a pity that they can't just grab a piece of it. But if these Dingling people go back and make a special trip to Yuyang, they must feel that it is not worthwhile...
…
On the other hand, Cao Hong's main goal was not to chase down the Ding Ling people desperately. After all, he didn't have that much power, so he targeted Gongsun Du from the beginning, and because Cao Hong also knew in his heart that Yuyang was going through a catastrophe.
It must have been in dilapidated condition after that.
This can be guessed without detection. Therefore, instead of taking over Yuyang, he can concentrate on chasing Gongsun. If he takes over Yuyang, Cao Jun will not be able to explain the various problems in Yuyang, so he can ignore it.
But it’s very troublesome...
As a result, a very strange situation emerged. Yuyang used to have three parties fighting for it, but now none of the three parties want it. It is like a red card in a brothel. When you are young and beautiful, you have thousands of fans, but when you are old and golden, you have thousands of fans.
People despise.
As a result, Gongsun Du fell into an extremely bad situation!
Especially after the soldiers of Gongsun Army found that their original arrogance as the big brother of Liaodong was knocked down, the self-critical damage caused by this psychological gap further worsened the situation.
It doesn't take long to go from ambitious to self-destructive.
A group of Gongsun soldiers with haggard faces were marching slowly. They were scattered into a fan shape, looking listlessly at the surrounding mountains and forests, and some of them were like frightened birds. The slightest abnormal movement would startle them.
, and then curled up involuntarily, pointing the knife and gun at the place where the abnormal sound came.
These are the Gongsun soldiers responsible for guarding the rear...
After withdrawing from Yuyang, even though Gongsun Du repeatedly encouraged him, he even directly issued a warning order at the back. The soldiers were not allowed to discuss the battle situation, nor were they allowed to deliver any news in the army. Anyone who violated it would be charged with the crime of misleading the public with lies.
The punishment was to be beheaded, but even though the order was so severe, some gossip was still quietly passed on in the army...
In addition, after passing through Youbeiping County, the rations distributed changed from six liters a day to four liters a day, and then not long after, it became three liters a day. Even if they didn't say anything on the surface, they were short of food.
The rumors are still flying everywhere as if they have wings.
Compared with food shortage, the enemy is actually not terrible.
When you encounter enemies, you can still fight and exchange lives for lives. But if you run out of food, hunger can defeat them without the enemy taking action...
Because of hunger, there would be quarrels every time when food was distributed. Every soldier who received food would immediately think of ways to eat the food as quickly as possible, just like wandering refugees. There was never enough food, and no one dared
No matter how much food you keep, you may even feel hungrier because of it. Normally, six liters is enough for one day, and three liters is enough for half a day. Although this is not the case, often after eating three liters, you are still hungry. You will be hungry all day long.
Like an omnipresent devil, it laughs silently in everyone's ears.
No one knew whether he could go back. With random thoughts in his mind and hunger in his stomach, the morale of Gongsun's soldiers was inevitably low, and there was no fighting spirit...
With a "click", there was a strange noise from the woods nearby, which immediately made these Gongsun soldiers scream in horror, "Come out! Who is it! I saw you!"
Gongsun's soldiers roared loudly, stared, and huddled together.
There was silence all around, no sound at all.
The leader of the team, Gongsun Binggui, slowly straightened up, turned around, and pretended to be relaxed and said to his men: "Damn it, you are such a coward..."
"Whoosh!"
Captain Gongsun was only halfway through what he said when an arrow flew out from the forest. It pierced directly into the back, and then a small half of the blood-stained arrow was exposed on the chest!
"What...just..." Gongsun's soldiers finally said twice, then fell to the ground.
At the sound of whistles, Le Jin led Cao's army to rush out from the woods and shrubs on both sides, and then chopped down all the panicked Gongsun soldiers in the blink of an eye.
"Tear off all the clothes and armor of these guys! Move quickly! Don't use the ones that pull, use the ones that are used!" Le Jin shook the blood on the sword in his hand and ordered loudly, "Throw the corpses away."
Go into the forest! Don’t stay on the road! Then someone, go get some loess and dead leaves to cover up these bloodstains..."
Cao Jun responded one after another, and then one Cao Jun said to Le Jin, "General Le, you are so awesome! You know so much!"
"This is nothing..." Le Jin chuckled and waved his hands, then seemed to think of something not very funny, his face was a little stiff, and finally he said happily, "Stop talking nonsense, move fast.
Some! Tonight... Hehe, there’s a big deal tonight, don’t let your guard down!』
