Cao Cao pinched a corner of his forehead, feeling a little headache.
Regarding the matter reported by Cao Ren, Cao Cao's judgment was similar to that of Xun Yu. If the hussar general Fei Qian was so easily defeated by a rebellion, then Cao Cao would not have had such a headache for such a long time.
Crouching tiger Zhang Ze? Can you call yourself a tiger without even looking at which mountain you are on? Shouldn't it be a monkey pretending?
Jingzhou cannot send troops because Jingzhou has to guard against Zhou Yu's attack in the south of Jingzhou on the opposite side of Jin. Yuzhou cannot send troops because the area around Yuzhou has to support Xuzhou and resist the attack from the Xuzhou line east of the Yangtze River. Jizhou also needs to pay attention to Youzhou.
The state also has no excess troops.
However, you can shout verbally or make a fake gesture, and it shouldn't be a big problem.
After all, the more trouble Fei Qian makes, the better, right?
Therefore, Cao Cao has ordered Cao Ren to send out the moral encouragement immediately. He hopes that Zhang Ze can resist the beating, and it is best to resist until the end of the world...
As for specific material support?
What? Talking about money hurts feelings.
The most they can do is to serve as suspects in the Heluo area. After all, the landlords don't have much food left.
If, contrary to everyone's expectations, Fei Qian's entire situation begins to deteriorate from Hanzhong, then Cao Cao would not be unable to consider entering the army again. Anyway, with just a letter from Zhang Ze and a map of Hanzhong, Cao Cao wants to defeat Cao Cao.
The generals jumped up excitedly and marched forward...
hehe.
However, the letter from Xun Yu that followed made it difficult for Cao Cao to make a decision for a while.
Liu Xie, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, had grown up somewhat.
Feng Xiao...Cao Cao handed Xun Yu's letter to Guo Jia, and took a look at this letter...
Guo Jia took the letter, then read a few columns, then frowned slightly.
...Your Majesty has the intention of reopening the debate in order to clarify the rationale. I put military affairs first, so I postpone the discussion. However, seeing that your Majesty's intention is very strong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shirk the blame when the debate continues...
I think those who think about the scriptures should think about the shapes, but they cannot do it without learning. The study of the scriptures should be cultivated and achieved. Now I look at the theory of Qinglong Temple in Guanzhong. It is generous and broad, talking about heaven and earth, which shows that the literary spirit is rising and embracing all rivers.
There is also the state of Zheng Gong who traveled all over the world, visited famous mountains and rivers all over the world, and made friends with the heroes of Yan and Zhao. Therefore, his writings are sparse and quite strange. Shui Jing, on the other hand, quoted from other sources, blended elegance and vulgarity, and captured the richness and beauty of Jing, Xiang, Wu, and Chu.
Dangdang, quite a character.
These two people are the literary pillars of Shanxi!
Yu was born in Yingchuan, where he lived and traveled, but his neighborhood was no more than a village party. He could see no more than a few hundred miles, and there were no mountains or fields to explore. Although he read scriptures, they were all other people's opinions, which was not enough to inspire his ambition.
Yi Cun. He cannot see the Songhua flowers in Zhongnan, he does not know how high the mountains are, he cannot see the great river near Tianjin, and he does not know the flow of the river. If he is not loved and promoted by his lord, it will be like sitting in a well and looking at the sky, not knowing what is going on in the world.
Therefore, I think privately, people like Yu are very similar. They stick to one place and don't know how big the world is. They stop in one county and don't know the changes in the situation. Therefore, maybe we can conquer Zheng Gong in a public car and recruit him as a doctor to demonstrate the classics and debate.
It can fulfill His Majesty's wishes, and secondly, it can broaden Ji Yu's horizons. This is my humble opinion, so I just keep it in front.
Guo Jia slowly put down the letter, but his brows were still slightly wrinkled.
If we just go by the written meaning of the letter, it is actually very simple. His Majesty has acted like a monster again. Xun Yu’s suggestion is to tear down a Shanxi pillar to support his own situation...
But the hidden meaning is not simple.
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and then did not urge him. He just kept his head tilted, then pressed a corner of his forehead with his fingers and rubbed it with his fingertips.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said: My lord... I am not thinking carefully... Your majesty's intention to debate the scriptures may be caused by factors...
Cao Cao was slightly startled, then nodded, then waved his hand and said: This matter has nothing to do with Ai Qing.
Is it really irrelevant?
Not all of them are irrelevant.
Because of the difference in the gentry system between Jizhou and Yuzhou, even though Yingchuan people like Chen Qun hold important positions in Yecheng, it is not so easy to gain the recognition of people in Jizhou, and because of the previous Mi Heng incident
, causing Cao Cao to be very embarrassed and passive. Therefore, Liu Ye, who was born in Huaiyang, was relatively easy to be accepted by people in Jizhou and became a communication bridge between Cao Cao and the gentry in Jizhou, so that the second Mi Heng would not appear.
These gentry children who can help Cao Cao assist Jizhou.
But Cao Cao and Guo Jia forgot one thing...
Liu Ye's stay in Xu County was a window for Emperor Liu Xie to understand the external situation. Just like Xun Yu wrote in his letters about his home and travellers, but his neighbors and villagers could only see hundreds of miles and no mountains.
Ohno may write about himself, but is he really writing about himself?
In the past, Liu Ye accompanied the emperor and conveyed external information. For Cao Cao, it was a certain degree of tacit approval. But now that Liu Ye was transferred to Yecheng due to the needs of Jizhou, Liu Xie may have overthought it and thought that Cao Cao wanted to do it.
Cut off his access to external information, so he proposed to Xun Yu to start a classics debate.
Knowing the outcome of the matter, and then inferring it forward, it is naturally easy to deduce the reason. However, before anything happens, even Guo Jia may not be able to guarantee that he can deduce every step.
Extremely watertight...
It is obviously unrealistic to ask Liu Ye to go back to Xu County again. After all, Liu Ye has just started his work here in Jizhou. If he just goes back like this, neither side will benefit. Therefore, Xun Yu suggested that in the name of the imperial court, he should use the name of the emperor.
He wanted to conquer Zheng Xuan.
Moreover, Xun Yu's hidden meaning was also stated. Although it can't be done in terms of force for the time being, it can add some obstacles to Husband in terms of scriptures. After all, Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui are the two main pillars of Qinglong Temple at the moment. Sima Hui?
, Generally speaking, it may not be possible to move. After all, I heard that the Sima family has moved to Taiyuan, it is still difficult to do it. But Zheng Xuan, after all, was originally here in Shandong, so it is relatively easy to dig corners.
But it’s only relatively…
Lord, youruo, this letter means...
Guo Jiagang started to say something, but was stopped by Cao Cao. There was no need to explain... so he followed Youruo's wishes and marched to conquer Zheng Kangcheng!
Guo Jia took a breath and wanted to say something more, but Cao Cao changed the topic to the military in Youbei. In the end, he could only sigh slightly...
Alas, Youruo, why is this necessary?
……(╥╯^╰╥)……
In Chang'an, it's late at night and no one is sure.
Even though I pretend to be unobstructed and unaware of the storm every day, when I am alone, these disturbances have not eased in the slightest.
The Longyou Incident started with county officials, to the horse thieves in the middle period, and then evolved to the Qiang mutiny now. Almost every change made the people in Guanzhong feel crazy, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
.
Especially after the mutiny of the Qiang people, many people spread the news about the changes in Longyou by word of mouth, and even began to express some internal information, wishing they could speak with such eloquence that they felt like they were the people at that time.
There were wooden rafters, and later there were dead wood brooms standing in the corners.
Pang Tong has also been busy recently, issuing orders one after another. The military strength in Guanzhong has also gradually undergone some changes, and supplies and troops have begun to gather towards Longxi. Although the current chaos of the Qiang people is only in the deep area of Longyou, if they are attacked by
The Qiang people broke through Longshan and attacked Guanzhong. I don't know how many people in Guanzhong suffered.
Originally, the people in Guanzhong thought that the war had gradually gone away, but they did not expect that war would suddenly hit their faces again.
Wei Duan had also been busy for a long time. His clothes and hair were a little smelly in the Senluyuan, so he took advantage of the night and quietly returned to his mansion. He didn't dare to go through the main entrance, but took a detour to the side door, but it didn't help.
To outsiders, Wei Kang personally held a lantern and welcomed Wei Duan to the inner courtyard to bathe and rest.
The two of them walked forward in silence, the dim light of the lantern swaying in the night.
Not long after, when he arrived at the entrance of the inner courtyard, Wei Kang couldn't help but said softly: Father...
Wei Duan waved his hand and said we would talk later.
During this period of time, Wei Duan was also thinking about it. Originally, he thought that the cavalry general Fei Qian was firmly on his feet and could not be shaken, but he did not expect that Fei Qian would still struggle? To be honest, sometimes Wei Duan really looked at it.
I don’t understand, if Fei Qian can only do it at this age, as long as he has managed it steadily for ten years, no, maybe only five years, he may not even need to use soldiers to implement the Longyou thing, but directly send a few petty officials, or
If he is a jailer, he can be taken down!
After freshening up, taking a shower, and eating some snacks, Wei Duan sat in the study, waiting for his hair to dry, while looking at the dim night, without moving for a long time.
Wei Kang sat beside him, glanced at Wei Duan, then lowered his eyes, and after a while he raised his head again and took another look.
Just say what you want to say! Wei Duan put down the pen with a click, feeling a little irritated. This irritation was not directed at Wei Kang, but at the current situation.
Wei Duan previously thought that if he were Fei Qian, he would have killed Cao Cao in one go during the Battle of Jingzhou, stabilized the Central Plains, and directly aspired to the world!
But Fei Qian didn't do this...
Then, after Fei Qian withdrew his troops and brought back a large number of Jingzhou refugees, Wei Duan thought that Fei Qian might be thinking of playing it slow and steady, using horizontal versus vertical thinking to first let Shandong's internal self-depletion, and then obtain the goods at the minimum cost.
The ultimate victory.
But then Fei Qian went to Hedong to stir up trouble. Before he came back, another rebellion broke out in Longyou, Longxi...
Fei Qian will return to Chang'an tomorrow.
So what new changes will the situation bring?
Wei Duan can't understand, he doesn't understand. The more he doesn't understand, the more irritated he becomes. When outside, he still has some sense of restraint and endures it, but in his study room, it inevitably comes out.
, the tone is also slightly heavier.
Father... Wei Kang hesitated.
Wei Kang knew that his father was also quite tired. Logically speaking, he should let his father have a good rest. However, Wei Duan had been hiding in the Senluyuan during this period. Even if there were letters or servants coming and going to explain, it was impossible.
It's very detailed, and he won't rely on others or other things to say anything particularly important. Therefore, now that Wei Duan has finally come back, of course he has to ask about the next arrangements.
Wei Duan took a breath and said again: It's okay, just say it.
Wei Kang nodded and said: Father...will this incident in Longyou spread to Guanzhong?
This is not only a worry for Wei Kang alone, but also a worry for almost everyone in Guanzhong. If it is only in Longxi and Longyou, then it is probably just the worry of General Hussar, but if it involves Guanzhong and is robbed by the Qiang people,
Then it would no longer be a happy thing, but it would become a disaster for the people in Guanzhong.
Wei Duan pondered for a long time, and then said: At present, it seems that 80% of the time will not happen. If time passes... it will be difficult to say...
Although General Fei Qian's foundation seems to be good now, the Longyou Rebellion is equivalent to cutting off trade in the Western Regions. This will not only cause problems with Guanzhong's property, but will even implicate Fei Qian and
Trade in other regions, so if it can be solved in a short time, of course the problem is not big, but if it takes a long time...
Wei Kang's eyebrows moved, Father... then...
Stop thinking about those thoughts! Wei Duan shouted in a low voice and raised his eyebrows. If someone is not in the house, he still has to strictly guard the courtyard gate and is not allowed to come in and out at will. It is also impossible to make friends with friends, tell lies and harm the whole family! Do you remember?
!
Wei Kang was startled and quickly left the table and prostrated himself, even claiming that he was.
Wei Duan gave the instructions again before letting Wei Kang sit down again.
Looking at Wei Kangyou's baffled and even somewhat confused expression, Wei Duan sighed and said: Go outside and take a look around first, ask the servants to stand far away...and then come back...
Wei Kang was startled for a moment, then stood up, went out and did as he was told. After a while, he came back and said: According to your father's instructions, keep all the servants away from this place...
Come, sit down. Wei Duan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, do you know that our house has a canal? One entrance, and then one exit...
Wei Kang nodded.
I have drunk the water from the mouth of these two ditches... Wei Duan seemed to recall some not-so-good things, and then his expression became a little stiff, so later on, our house strictly prohibited throwing debris into the open ditch... It is against the law
Violators shall be severely punished...
Wei Kang was stunned. He knew a little about this matter, but not much. He thought it was just Wei Duan complying with the excretion order.
And it's not just me who has drank it... Wei Duan stretched out his chin and gestured left and right, "Everyone in the city who has this water canal in Lingyi has drank it... I drank it at the Husband's Mansion... You have never heard of this."
Well? This matter, well, I don’t think others will talk about it casually. After all, it is not a glorious thing...
Wei Duan spoke slowly, as if some of the smell of that day was still lingering in his nostrils. His face was stiff and his expression was distorted. Come on, I will tell you this today. Do you think Qiao Qi used to take water from these two open channels in the mansion?
What is the intention? What do you want to say? What do you want to warn us?
... Wei Kang had no clue for a moment.
Was the decontamination order before or after this incident? Wei Duan asked.
Wei Kang replied, "In front."
Wei Duan nodded and said: When is the action of the hussar not coming first? Then the order to remove filth comes before drinking water, so what is the first thing to do about Longyou?
This... Wei Kang was stunned.
Going back to the matter of the aqueduct, Qiaoqi asked us to drink the water from the aqueduct. Apart from the decontamination order, do you think there are any other reasons? Wei Duan continued to ask.
Wei Kang thought about it for a moment. When drinking water, think of its source? The association in this aspect is not subtle.
Where is the source? Wei Duan asked.
Hussar... Hussar is the source... Wei Kang answered uncertainly.
Wei Duan nodded, well, that's half right. You can think about the other half when you have time... Let me ask you again, besides drinking water and thinking about the source, does Qiusi have any other meanings?
What else do you mean? Wei Kang frowned.
Wei Duan snorted, "There are at least three more."
This... Wei Kang blinked a few times, father... can you... give me some hints...
Wei Duan sighed, I didn't guess everything at that time, I only came to the conclusion after slowly deducing it... First of all, the open channels in the tombs in this city are all connected to each other? Not to mention other things,
Coming out of our house, not far down, is the Li family's house... What do you think this means?
Wei Kang thought about it, and then said: ... colluding with each other? Oh, I understand, honor and disgrace are one!
Wei Duan nodded, and then stretched out his palm, with the palm facing up, yes... But what about the other side? Wei Duan turned his palm downwards, exposing the back of his hand, and looked at Wei Kang, the back of this honor and disgrace...
...It’s just sitting in a row! Honor and disgrace is just losing face, sitting in a row is costing your life!
Wei Kang couldn't help but be surprised. Hussar...is this really what he meant?
Wei Duan glanced sideways at Wei Kang, "Why, do you still expect others to be like parents and protect you no matter what you do? If you are dragged down by your bad friends and you say you are wronged, do you think anyone will believe it? Send it out."
There are so many sachets. If something really happens, how many of them will defend you?
The Wei Mansion has been closed these days, and Wei Duan can certainly see that Wei Kang has some uncontrollable restless thoughts, but the current situation is changing, and it is indeed not the time for friends to make a fuss, otherwise no one knows that one day he will be implicated...
…
Boy...baby realized his mistake... Wei Kang lowered his head.
Take advantage of this period of time and think about it at home, which people you should keep in contact with and which people you should cut off... Wei Duan waved his hand and continued, "Don't think that others won't know if you stay hidden... I'll ask you again."
, have you seen the Hussar sent people to collect water from the canal before? Does anyone in the government know? Who and when did they collect the water? So what does this mean? Huh?
Wei Kang stared,...
What if... instead of fetching water, but... Wei Duan said with a sullen face, do you understand? Huh?
Ah?! The color on Wei Kang's face changed. So, doesn't it mean... how about we move to another courtyard?
Another courtyard? Wei Duan sneered twice. He didn't know who it was, and he didn't know when. What's the use of hiding somewhere?
this……
So, regarding the matter of Longyou... Wei Duan said seriously, don't really think about it, and don't do anything! Otherwise... just stay at home! Do you understand? If you have this free time, why not take advantage of it?
When the time comes, pay more attention to any unusual behavior of the servants at home...but don't make a big deal...understand?
Wei Kang quickly agreed.
Wei Duan nodded, okay, let's go down, I will go out of the city to meet the Hussar tomorrow... I need to take a rest at least, and I must not lose my etiquette... If there is no big deal, don't bother me... Remember to call me on the evening
... There is also a couch in the study. Wei Duan is also very tired and does not want to change places.
The child excused himself... Wei Kang quickly bowed and then carefully exited the study. Then he softly ordered the servants not to disturb him. He checked the time again and felt that it was not long before Yinshi.
He sat down in the back hall and prepared to call Wei Duan in person when the time came.
After sitting for a moment, Wei Kang couldn't help but think about the conversation he had just had with Wei Duan, and then a thought came to him. His father seemed to have just said two things about the hidden meaning of the hussar... What was the other one?
