Fei Qian looked at the urgent report on hand and sighed slightly.
The higher the position, the more Fei Qian feels that Murphy's three laws are becoming more accurate.
Rule 1: Nothing is as simple as it seems.
Rule 2: Everything will take longer than expected.
Rule Three: Things that can go wrong will always go wrong.
Then the aggregation becomes Murphy's Law.
The West is bad.
Sichuan and Sichuan are very bad.
Fei Qian had thought that the situation might be very bad, but he also did not expect that the current situation would run all the way in the worst direction. Just like all choices, there are two ways to get better and worse.
It's like choosing the option that becomes worse.
In the Western Region, Gao Shun died.
This was completely beyond Fei Qian's expectation.
Among Sichuan and Shu, Gan Ning was defeated.
This was also beyond Yu Feiqian's expectations.
Within the hall, silence spread.
Pang Tong secretly glanced at Fei Qian, then touched his chin.
"Shi Yuan, do you remember Gao Boping?" Fei Qian asked slowly, his tone still calm. As he spoke, he also looked at the sunlight shining outside the hall, watching the bright tiles showing warm colors,
Looking at the birds jumping and chirping from nowhere on the branches, looking at such a vibrant scenery, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He saw life and he saw death.
Gao Shun is not Fei Qian's friend, but he is his old acquaintance.
What does old acquaintance mean to a person?
"Yeah. I remember." Pang Tong also sighed, "What a pity."
Fei Qian nodded.
This answer is very confusing.
In other words, it is in line with the answer of most people.
Some have heard of it, some know it, or they know each other, but the relationship is not close. Perhaps in this world, only Gao Shun's relatives can truly feel the pain of death, while most people just say "oh, huh"
one time.
Whose fault is this?
Humans love to argue about right and wrong.
The Han people are no exception, especially those from Shandong, who like to argue endlessly and distinguish between right and wrong.
For the death of Gao Shun and the chaos in the Western Regions, these Shandong people would definitely place the blame on Fei Qian. According to arguments cited from scriptures, they shouted indignantly, indicating that all of this was caused by Fei Qian and that everything was Fei Qian's fault.
Hidden mistake.
Then……
It's gone.
People in Shandong only care about their own smooth talk and psychological comfort, and they don't even care whether Fei Qian admits his mistake. As for why this problem occurs, how to avoid it in the future, etc., they have no ideas or opinions, even if they have suggestions.
It is also completely consistent with the practice of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Change.
Or more simply, kill.
It's like replacing Ban Yong and killing Ma Yuan.
As a result, the Western Regions continued to be in chaos, and their countries were completely disappointed with the Han Dynasty.
The South Vietnamese army was indecisive, and the territory they finally conquered has not been civilized for more than a hundred years...
At this time, the people in Shandong shut their mouths and pretended that they knew nothing and nothing happened. Then after a while, they would pop up again, as if this chapter had passed, and then the next chapter would come again.
Like a new world, continue to repeat the previous comments, expressing contempt for everything and demonstrating one's own elegance.
Take the current Western Regions as an example. If people from Shandong are asked to think of a solution, they will probably say why bother? Instead of focusing on Lu Bu, why not do something like this? Or, what is the value of the Western Regions? The Central Plains is
Hard truths, etc. If you ask for specific measures, you will just say, if it doesn't work, change it, and if it doesn't work, kill it.
Can killing really solve problems?
No, order can completely solve the problem.
The contradictions caused by the old order require a new order to solve these newly generated problems and determine a new direction.
Spending all day searching for examples of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in old papers, and looking for the basis of laws in the Four Books and Five Classics, is the favorite way of people from Shandong, Han Dynasty. Although they also know in their hearts that there may be something wrong, but...
Whatever, they don't care.
Fei Qian feels that these examples and evidence can be used as a reference, but they must not be copied mechanically and used simply.
Read it, read it thoroughly, and read it through, which is the true attitude towards facing these histories.
The Han Dynasty opened up the Western Regions for three hundred years, with ups and downs, and swinging policies. Perhaps it is true that people in Shandong can scoff with disdain, saying that they are just some idiots and have interests. But after this scoff, it should be
do what?
One or two hundred years ago, during the Western Han Dynasty, I encountered this problem for the first time, and there was nothing I could do about it. Then a hundred years later, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, I encountered this problem again, and I was still confused, and there was nothing I could do about it?
So a hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, every time we encounter such a problem, will there always be people from Shandong who are similar to the current big men who will jump out and sneer at it, saying that they are just some idiots?
"Your Majesty, you must not compete with the people for profit!"
"It is better to give it up than to take it without any benefit!"
"Your Majesty, as the lord of all peoples, how can I be tainted by these stinky things?"
"It wastes people and money, and the opening of the sea cannot be discussed again!"
So Huaxia stopped his feet and started to pay attention to his butt.
Draw the ground as a prison.
"It's a desperate situation all around. We can't get out! It's better to stay here."
"Who said that?"
"That's what our ancestors said!"
"Who are the ancestors?"
If you look up this kind of statement and rhetoric from generation to generation, you will eventually find that the source is these people from Shandong in the Han Dynasty.
Yanhuang's spirit of eating it after winning, and being tolerant and digested as a part of itself disappeared, and he started talking about those people from Guanzhong, those warriors, those border people...
The pre-Qin spirit of conquering the ends of the earth and unifying all countries was not enough, but also continued to explore. The mountains were too high, the sea was too vast, the sun was too hot, and the rainy ground was too slippery...
After the Han Dynasty, even if the Western Regions were opened again, not many people wanted to go there.
Tang Sanzang begged for year after year. In the vast city of Chang'an, no one was willing to go with him in the end. He had to secretly go on the road alone. In the end, he not only went, but also came back. It was really a slap in the face.
Many people's faces.
what to do?
Made into a myth.
Such an awesome person is no longer a human being at all, he is a god!
So a group of disciples who think they are mortals can just laugh and continue to say, "Human beings will definitely not be able to get out. There are desperate situations on all sides of China! That's what our ancestors said!"
One person said this, a group of people said this, day after day, year after year, the courage to pioneer was eventually worn away by the "impossible" and "ancestors" one after another...
"Gao Boping...does he have any relatives?" Fei Qian asked. He seemed to remember not having any, but Fei Qian hoped at this moment that he did.
Pang Tong frowned and thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it... Gao Boping never mentioned it..." When he said this, Pang Tong suddenly felt that compared with other generals, Gao Shun was really a pure person.
The soldier then shook his head with even more regret and sighed.
Gao Shun had no wife or concubines. Perhaps he had some ways to meet his physiological needs, but his main focus was on military affairs. Whether in Chang'an or at Yumen Pass, he seemed to have nothing in mind except soldiers and military affairs.
The other things were as pure as a piece of transparent ice, melting quietly in the sunlight without leaving many traces.
Not all good things will necessarily have a good ending.
"Check, if there is an heir or a posthumous child... then arrange it properly..." Fei Qian said, "If there is no... just select a child within the Salesian Bureau to inherit Gao Boping's incense as his legacy!"
』
Pang Tong said: "Imitate the Korean script on old things?"
Fei Qian nodded.
Although the specific situations of Han Sui and Gao Shun were different, after Han Sui lost his heir, he also selected one person from some orphans as Han Sui's heir, that is, Han Guo.
Fei Qian looked at the sky in the distance and lightly knocked on the table. "This matter is the law of Yan... If there is no heir in the family with a school captain or above, the Salesian Bureau will select the best one according to the order."
And take.』
"Only." Pang Tong nodded in agreement. He did not express his wisdom or kindness because of this, but simply responded, because the matter itself was not something worth boasting about. On the contrary, it was a sad and helpless countermeasure.
.
The monarch and his ministers fell silent in unison.
"Shiyuan, now it's really..." Fei Qian sighed with emotion, and then his eyes gradually condensed, "It's time."
Pang Tong sighed, "My lord, it's still too early...if it takes another three to five years..."
Fei Qian chuckled, "How can everything in this world go as everyone wants? What's more, today's anxiety and arrogance also linger for a long time..."
"What my lord said is true." Pang Tong nodded.
This is not because Pang Tong intended to agree, but it is indeed the case.
Because the Western Regions have affected Chang'an, many people have begun to get tired of it. They were even influenced by the comments of people in Shandong. They felt that Fei Qian had done something wrong and treated Lu Bu too generously. They should either fight or cut off...
As for how to beat and how to cut, I don't know.
After all, there are only a few people who have a long-term vision, and most people are ignorant.
China needs more leaders and more wise people, not more ignorant guys.
In other words, these base numbers should be reduced as much as possible.
Fei Qian doesn't want to be too strong, but when he should show his attitude, he won't shy away.
"There is no need to cover up the matters in the Western Region," Fei Qian patted the information on the table, "But we will strictly check the customs and see if anyone is eager to leave the customs during this period..."
"I understand." Pang Tong laughed and said, "It's easy to go out this time. If you want to come back again...haha..."
Fei Qian nodded.
Some people always think that they are very smart. When they hear that the Western Region is unstable and there is chaos in Kushan, they will inevitably think about "a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall", and then they will rush to hide in a more "stable and stable place".
Go to a safe place...
Just let it go, but if you want to come back, unless you change your name and appearance, which is completely different from the registered profile, don't think about returning to Guanzhong so easily after the danger is over. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a failure to persevere?
In Guanzhong, are those who fought alongside Fei Qian unfair?
The clouds of war have already arisen.
Fei Qian has always consciously controlled the speed of development and suppressed the number of armies, because the rabbit spirit in his roots was at work. He accumulated food and slowly became king. No matter what dynasty he was in, he was a very correct leader.
Strategy. Compared with those guys who always jump up to kill this and that, Fei Qian will reduce his sense of threat as much as possible and silently accumulate more power.
The history of the Three Kingdoms told Fei Qian that Cao Wei was strong, but when it was not strong enough to overthrow everything in one go, the rest was a slow decline...
Didn’t Cao Cao in history want to complete the great cause of unification in his lifetime? He must have wanted to and dreamed about it, but in the end it just became his dream. In the later period, he was comprehensively controlled from top to bottom, left and right
, the onlookers inside and outside are not only the old enemies of Dongwu and Xishu, but also the opponents in the court, everyone is his enemy.
At that time, Cao Cao became the strongest man, but he also became the man with the most enemies.
If the enemy is outside, he can still distinguish it more or less clearly, but when the enemy is hidden inside, Cao Cao is powerless.
There is a will, but there is no power.
What is a political group?
Thousands of years of feudal dynasty have been fully demonstrated.
In the final analysis, imperial power and prime ministerial power are all authority. I believe that many people will jump up and express that they know, they understand, and they understand too well...
The question is, where does this authority come from?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew it well, but he was pretending to be ignorant, so he said, "Old Dong is right! Let's talk it over with you!"
Old Dong stood up and published his theories and laws like a bricklayer in later generations.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's original idea was to deceive the majority and attack the minority, which was indeed very successful. However, what he did not expect was that it was so successful that many people were still deceived by him later. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the world as a chess game, and he was so majestic that he only
Unfortunately, his world was still too small, so in the end Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still trapped in the chess game.
Fei Qian wants to step out, so those chattering Shandong people who have been deeply brainwashed are undoubtedly the biggest resistance. Most of those Shandong people can only see the immediate interests, expressing their irritability and the current situation.
I feel unhappy, but I have never deeply considered the cause and development of the current situation, the present and the future.
If you want to comment on a country and express your opinions, these Shandong people are very powerful and very enthusiastic. But it is extremely difficult to really let these Shandong people do things, make suggestions based on their opinions, and then implement them.
So what’s the point of accommodating these Shandong people too early?
Therefore, Fei Qian has been constantly encouraging, even praising, and secretly supporting these Shandong people and sending them agricultural and engineering bachelors so that they can have better living conditions and more leisure time. In addition to expanding the market, it also
You can express various opinions and feelings more calmly, you can criticize this, criticize that, be dissatisfied with this, and laugh at that.
Then Fei Qian attracted those children of Shandong nobles, poor families, and ordinary people in Chang'an, established an official model with the imperial examination as the main promotion channel, developed a new system of people's livelihood and government affairs, and formulated laws to adapt to the new environment.
wait……
But now it's obvious that some people can't wait any longer.
It was not Cao Cao who initiated the war.
But Zhou Yu...
Fei Qian really didn't expect that Zhou Yu would jump out first and break the current balance, dragging Fei Qian and Cao Cao into the battle.
Things in the Western Region were expected to turn into the worst situation. Fei Qian had also expected it, but Fei Qian did not expect that Gao Shun would die. Likewise, Fei Qian did not expect that Gan Ning would fall.
The destruction of the Western Regions was well prepared, but Sichuan and Shu were not.
Is it true that fish sauce has nothing to do with it?
Is Zhou Yu using this method to show that he will not succumb to disease or be threatened by it?
"Gan Xingba's defeat in the first battle was caused by arrogance," Fei Qian said slowly, "This is a warning...we are often willing to choose the best, but we end up doing the wrong. Gan Xingba was fined, demoted, and left in the army under false pretenses.
Use it, and then reward and punish delinquents after the war."
"I accept the order." Pang Tong wrote it down.
"Order, Sichuan and Shu, with Xu Yuanzhi as the leader, Xu Gongming as the assistant, and Zhuge Kongming as the left, coordinate the forces in central Sichuan to fight against the Jiangdong Army!" Fei Qian continued the order, "Give Xu Yuanzhi the chief officer, the official in central Sichuan, Qianshi and below, can
Dispose of it yourself! All soldiers and soldiers of the Central Sichuan Military Academy are under the control of Xu Gongming. Those who violate discipline and law will be punished according to military law! Zhuge Kongming will consult to fill the vacancies, record merits and demerits, and coordinate the transportation of materials and weapons! 』
"Wei!" Pang Tongyong wrote it down, and then quickly sent it to Sichuan and Sichuan by land and air.
Although the Jiangdong Army won the first victory over Yi Dao, it does not mean that Sichuan and Shu have no resistance. When the Jiangdong Bureau's front line is lengthened, the disadvantages of Yang's attack on Sichuan and Shu will become more and more apparent. And among Sichuan and Shu,
The foundation is still very strong. Whether it is finance or equipment, it is said that there is no big problem in supporting a war, even if it is a protracted war.
The problem lies with the Western Regions.
Of course, there are still some hidden problems...
"Don't give up the Western Region lightly." Fei Qian said slowly, "If you give up one point today, you will give up three points tomorrow. Don't give up even half of the land that belongs to the Han family."
Big braid towards the left is ceding land piece by piece. In fact, there are "ancestral" regulations to follow, right?
Aren't the people of Shandong in the Han Dynasty just laughing at Fei Qian, thinking that there is something wrong with Fei Qian's head and that he is stupid?
How easy it is to give up…
But everything that future generations have was obtained by the Chinese ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed blood and sweat. What qualifications do descendants have to give up on behalf of their predecessors? To continue playing music and dancing with peace of mind?
In the game of chess in the Western Regions, the players are basically in place.
"Order, Lu Fengxian killed his comrades for no reason and was suspended for investigation. The post of Protector of the Western Regions is temporarily taken by Zhang Wenyuan." Fei Qian said in a deep voice, "Also transfer Taishi Ziyi to Chang'an... Let's prepare for the expedition..."
Pang Tong was silent for a while, then nodded, "I understand."
