Chapter 2945 Salted fish want to cheat, and death will be a ghost hero
Guangwu was ahead, and after a successful case, he was naturally carefully studied by future generations.
Why does success succeed? Why does failure fail?
Then everyone found that the key was to have a good parent, for example, failure is the mother of success, and then there was no mention of what the parents who failed were...
Ahem.
Cao Cao really wanted to succeed, and more or less wanted to be Guangwu.
Although Cao Cao doesn't dare to mention this matter openly now...
Cao Cao has not experienced the defeat in Chibi at the moment, so he does not have the allusion of Mr. Luo’s three laughs. The reason why he laughs is because he is accustomed to covering up his instinctive reaction after being frightened.
Although Cao Cao had never studied performing arts, he had excellent psychological qualities. Although he was rumored to be hurt, he was able to recover soon and thought of a solution.
When he was laughing, Cao Cao thought of two strategies: one was to return to the court to stabilize the base camp of Xu County, and the second was to boost morale, ignore the rumors, and continue to seek opportunities to fight.
But soon, Cao Cao made a third way of dealing with it...
Melee.
Cao Cao likes melee and is used to making profits in melee. It can even be said that Cao Cao relies on melee to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, succeed in Yanzhou, and then plots on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, defeating Liu Biao and Tao Qian, etc.
The more chaotic the scene, Cao Cao seemed to have the talent to find the most important point in the chaotic situation, and then accumulate small victory into big victory, and finally determine the victory of the battle.
For example, the Battle of Wuchao.
On the contrary, if it is a smooth game, Cao Cao sometimes doesn't know where to fight...
It’s like watching the other party have flaws everywhere, and too many choices have become a difficult choice. After a long time of calculation, it’s found that the other party has changed again. The previous flaw disappeared and replaced with a new flaw, and then it entered a new round of difficult choices again.
When Cao Cao was facing Fei Qian, he had some meaning.
Fei Qian was originally full of flaws.
The northern land is barren.
The gentry fled.
Sparsely populated.
Hu and Han are mixed.
There is a lack of officials.
Short supplies.
...
Cao Cao had thought about it before, and there were too many choices. It seemed that if anyone could do it, Fei Qian would fall down with a bang. Therefore, although Cao Cao had said that Fei Qian would definitely be a threat, he actually felt that lying on the side of the bed was a bigger threat, so Cao Cao first dealt with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others.
When Cao Cao turned around, he suddenly discovered that Fei Qian’s previous flaw was gone, and then replaced it with some new flaws.
There are many refugees.
There is a lack of food and grass.
Small soldiers.
Qiang and Di were in chaos.
It is difficult for the aristocrats to convince.
...
Cao Cao nodded, and then felt that although there were changes, it was still easy to do. He had more important things to do at hand. After all, Liu Xie was in a bad temper, the powerful had opinions, and there were constant disputes in the court. Jizhou and Yuzhou were not in harmony. It would be too late to settle down first before financing...
Then it was late.
Cao Cao can't remember how many times he slapped his thighs in regret when he was alone.
Thinking about the beginning...
Then I can only think of it.
After Fei Qian became a force, it was like a snowball rolling down from a mountain. Every time he delayed, the snowball expanded one circle. In the last second, he might have thought that he could resist it, but in the next second, he felt that he would die if he resisted it!
And when the embarrassing alliance under the city, perhaps...
No, it was too late at that time. Because even at that time, Cao Cao had a firm heart to fight with Fei Qian, the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou would not be in the same spirit as Cao Cao, and might even pull back when Cao Cao and Fei Qian faced their heads. And the most important thing was that most of Cao Cao's army was in Jingzhou at that time, and Jingzhou had just been included in Cao Cao's hands. If Jingzhou rebelled again after the war situation changed...
And now?
Now is not a good time either.
Cao Cao always wanted to govern and integrate Jizhou and Yuzhou. He said that the manpower and material resources of Jizhou and Yuzhou were used like Emperor Guangwu in history, and then he could easily fight against the three auxiliary servants of Guanzhong. However, for some reason, Cao Cao used the strategies used by Guangwu back then, and now he felt something was wrong when he used them.
Is it the reason for the widow?
Yin Lihua and Guo Shengtong, who Guangwu married back then, were neither widows, so...
But the problem is that Cao Cao is old now, and he is ten or eight years old. The problem is not very big. But if he is twenty or thirty years old, at least one generation will come out. Should Cao Pi call him sister or mother when he sees him?
There are also a few adopted sons he accepted, who are not young anymore...
What will the inner house be like then?
So it can only be a widow. Moreover, after one or two births, it is a tough life for a widow to survive and it is easy to regenerate.
Cao Cao could only find the reason in other aspects, and finally found it.
The inspiration still comes from Guangwu.
For Cao Cao, who now has Jizhou and Yuzhou, is of course more like the incarnation of Guangwu, while the powerful Red Eyebrow Army is naturally...
So how did the Red Eyebrows lose in Chang'an and eventually become destroyed?
Cao Cao now wants to replicate this process.
First of all, let the Red Eyebrow Army, uh, Fei Qianjun move...
There is a chance to fight in chaos.
…(?·??·?)??…
Liu Xie also wanted to be Guangwu.
Lao Cao did not dare to say that he wanted to learn Guangwu himself, but Xiao Liu could say that he wanted to imitate Guangwu and revive the great man without restraint.
What is the ultimate reason for this?
Of course it's the difference between parents...
Wherever you don’t cheat in life, the biggest cheat is naturally your parents.
The Great Han Chongde Hall.
This is the highest and most sacred hall in the name of the entire Han Dynasty.
The owner of Chongde Hall is naturally the Emperor of Han, Liu Xie.
To be honest, the only thing Liu Xie can directly control is this hall, and once he is ordered to leave the hall...
Whether an official can execute it depends on his or her "conscience".
So for Liu Xie, does he like Cao Cao? Obviously it is impossible to like it. Imperial power and prime minister's power are always an opposing contradiction. After all, when prime minister's power is strong, even if the emperor uses how much money to marry which wife to sleep, which concubine to establish which prince, he has to take care of. If the emperor thinks the emperor's order is inappropriate, he will directly return it. Will that emperor like it?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Imperial power and prime minister power were originally dangerous seesaws, and every time it was up and down, it meant a large amount of flesh and blood would be worn away. The Han Dynasty originally seemed to want to build a three-legged structure of the foreign relatives, eunuchs and Qingliu, but in fact this structure was false, because the foreign relatives and eunuchs both came directly from imperial power, so it was impossible to reach a equilibrium state.
In this kind of political reform, decentralization will eventually be defeated by centralization, just like the unification of China. As long as people with ambition and ambition get part of it, they will inevitably desire another part until they die on the road of pursuit or climb the highest mountain, just like Kuafu.
So in the end, when we arrived in the Qing Dynasty, we simply didn't even separate the prime minister and set up a military office to act as the chief's thug. No one dared to fart the chief said anything. Ji Xiaolan only existed on TV. The real Ji Xiaolan was scolded by Qianlong as a dog.
After Liu Xie ascended the throne, he realized that the imperial power had fallen and wanted to gain power desperately.
The atmosphere in Chongde Hall today is a bit dull.
Liu Xie had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with coldness, and he glanced at his ministers under the Dan stairs.
Below the Dan Step, the sharp voice of the eunuch of the Huangmen was reading a memorial, "...In the past, the Dong bandits in Xiliang were in chaos, and the Heluo was burned and Chang'an was empty. People ate each other and lost counties. This is nothing else. The bandits lost their balance, their hearts were separated from their rules, and indulged in desires and overturned, so they overturned and harmed countless people. The mistakes were ahead, and everyone knew it. Fortunately, the Prime Minister defeated the country, resolved the upside down of the universe, and restored the glory of the Han Dynasty. Now there are thieves hiding among the people, so the Prime Minister rebelled and his heart could be punished. If the Prime Minister was in decline, your Majesty would be in danger and the world would be overthrown! I begged the ministers in the temple to work together to prove the injustice of the Prime Minister and to protect the dangers of the border, the country would be very lucky. The world would be very lucky!"
Liu Xie looked at the quiet officials below and felt a sense of fatigue.
This fatigue is like arise from a bone, which cannot be easily eliminated, entangled his soul and eroded his reason.
Just two days ago, Liu Xie had already publicly expressed that he "believed" Cao Cao, saying that the rumors were all fake, but unexpectedly, someone wanted to set him up and bake him...
Didn’t Liu Xie believe in Cao Cao?
Obviously not.
But people will change, and feelings will also change. The "belief" back then made Liu Xie rather leave Chang'an and arrive in Xu County. However, so many years have passed, the world is still in conflict, and there is still no hope of unification. I don't know how long it will take to fight or how long it will continue to fight. Now, Liu Xie has to rectify Cao Cao again and again...
Yes, he once believed in Cao Cao, but year after year, Shandong is still messy, and Guanzhong and Jiangdong are still wandering outside!
The doubts about self-respecting by raising the bandits made it difficult for Liu Xie to control the anger in his heart and not show it outside. He tried to say calmly: "All my dear friends have heard...all said it!"
Huang Wan, who is under the elixir, is now Situ. After listening to the memorial, he saw that the officials around and around were staring at him, so he could only cough and say, "Report to Your Majesty... Now rumors are everywhere, bewitching the people. As Situ, the old minister has failed to educate the people and has failed to deal with them effectively. He is actually guilty and dare not shirk responsibility... The old minister asked to resign from the department...
Before Huang Wan could finish his words, Liu Xie interrupted him directly, "What I want today is to offer a plan. If everyone resigns first when facing the matter, then what is the use of asking for ministers?"
Huang Wan could only respond with a simultaneous response and bowed her head and retreated.
In fact, Liu Xie has a good impression of Huang Wan. Now he deliberately speaks badly to him, in fact, it is to pull Huang Wan out first.
Because Dong Zhuo died earlier than in history, some old ministers who died in the chaos in history were also preserved. For example, after Wang Yun came to power, Huang Wan, Shi Sun Rui and others who left because they were not satisfied with Wang Yun's dominance of the court, have now returned to the court after Liu Xie's repeated enlistment.
But, he is really an old minister of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao did not hold all the positions of the three public in his hands. On the one hand, it was to show his generosity. On the other hand, he was now serving as the three public. Well, it should be two public officials. After all, Cao Cao still did not release the position of Sima. Situ Huang Wan and Sikong Shi Sun Rui were both old and not strong in power. He could not pose any threat to the Xiahou family of the Cao family. It would be better to throw it to Liu Xie to play house.
If there was no Prime Minister, Situ Sikong and Sima Sangong would naturally have a high position and power. However, when the Prime Minister sat up, the Three Dukes would become a false position. If he had a name but no real power, he could not control anything. Therefore, Huang Wan was actually very miserable, and he was not much different from the emperor Liu Xie's turtle.
Seeing Huang Wan's hair and beard look white, Liu Xie felt a little embarrassed. He paused for a moment and said, "I have seen many achievements since Situ's office. Huang Aiqing should not belittle himself. Let's talk about his strategy in his heart and let all the cabinet ministers take a look at it..."
Huang Wan was just at a stairs and hurriedly said: "There are rumors around Xu County now, there are only three things. One is saying that the Prime Minister is usurping, the other is saying that the Prime Minister rebelled, and the third is that the Prime Minister is intertwined with the Cavalry... The Urgent is nonsense and there is no need to deal with it. The rebellion is also a lie, which is not enough to believe. It is just that the Prime Minister is so angry. Why not let the Prime Minister report himself, and naturally the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty...
Liu Xie closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.
He was a little disappointed. Because what Liu Xie hoped most was to make Cao Cao become Emperor Gengshi, first enter Chang'an, and then consume all his strength in the continuous wars, while Liu Xie himself became the one who laughed to the end. Huang Wan did not make any suggestions that suited Liu Xie's wishes. I don't know if it was because there was no tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, or because of some other reasons...
However, he was much disappointed and got used to it, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and did what he could. Although the "self-declaration" strategy did not meet Liu Xie's expectations, it was at least considered an improvement.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It is good to be able to take a step towards the peak of multi-directional authority.
So Liu Xie, who was well-minded, turned to ask other ministers, "What do you think about Situ's words?"
Most of the other officials listen quietly, just like a background wall. Generally speaking, when discussing affairs in the court, ordinary officials are not qualified to express their opinions. After all, they are all battlefields for big bosses. Once a small character is deeply trapped in it, they often say a little wrong and will be wiped out. Even if they say it right, they will be misunderstood and settle the accounts after autumn.
Therefore, most officials pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Anyway, I just receive a salary, is it worth working so hard?
Seeing that the officials were silent again, Liu Xie could only name him, "What does Xun Aiqing think?"
Xun Yu stepped forward and bowed and responded: "Your Majesty, the court's integrity and the countryside are justified. It can be said that the cart is put before the horse. For many years of war today, rest and rest should be the priority. The Prime Minister hunted the Wuhuan north and tried to get more cattle, sheep, and horses to nourish the people. Now there are rumors, so I will tell myself, and the Ming Dynasty reiterates the wind, so what should I do? Therefore, I think that there is no need to discuss this matter, nor do I ask the Prime Minister to tell myself."
Does Liu Xie really want to listen to Cao Cao’s explanation?
Well, maybe a little bit, after all, Cao Cao's self-examination also represents Cao Cao's surrender, which allows Liu Xie to gain a little bit of pleasure from it. Although it is just a little bit, more Liu Xie hopes that Cao Cao can "fail" more thoroughly once.
Because except for the Sun family in Jiangdong, Liu Xie had actually had contact with Fei Qian and Cao Cao, and during the contact process, Liu Xie did not directly feel the strong threat to the butt chrysanthemum, at least not now. From a certain perspective, at least Liu Xie's current position is still safe, but this security is only temporary...
Liu Xie knew that once Cao Cao and Fei Qian finally decided a winner, he would immediately face a direct threat, but will Cao Cao and Fei Qian decide the winner smoothly? Will there be a result in a short period of time? Obviously it is impossible. According to Liu Xie's current judgment, Cao Cao and Fei Qian's strength is almost the same. Once the two sides start a war, they may fall into a tug-of-war deadlock. At that time, it is very likely that it is just like the first time between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. The two sides fight until they are exhausted. At that time, Liu Xie can take the soap, uh, wrong, and come out with the edict.
You should know that in Hebei, the strongest person was not Yuan Shao, but Gongsun Zan. At that time, Gongsun Zan not only occupied most of Youzhou, Qingzhou and part of Jizhou, but also had its power penetrated into Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and it was like the first separatist group in Hebei.
However, there are many problems within Gongsun Zan, both talent and human resources. Moreover, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu also had a frustration, and eventually an irreconcilable conflict...
So Liu Xie wondered if it was very similar to someone at the moment?
Another aspect is that Yuan Shao has such a high reputation because Yuan Shao has never failed before. After the first unfavorable battle with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao had different ideas when he was depressed, and his control over Jizhou decreased. So much so that after Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and wanted to march into Yuzhou, internal differences arose...
So, is it very similar to someone?
Whether it was Guangwu, who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the recent examples of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, Liu Xie felt a sense of understanding everything and understanding everything!
It’s like seeing through the origin of the world and getting in touch with the essence of the gods!
Therefore, Liu Xie said on the surface that he trusted Cao Cao, but in fact he wanted to put Cao Cao on and bake it!
In this case, how could Liu Xie give up the implementation of his great Han Zhongxing plan because of Xun Yu's dissuasion?
After hearing what Xun Yu said, Liu Xie smiled, "Xunzi said, "The flowing balls stop at Ou for a moment, and rumors stop at wise people." However, Xunzi first left Qi, then moved to Chu, and then moved to Zhao, so how could he stop? Therefore, if the rumors are ignored, wouldn't it mean that the court is suspected of the prime minister? How can the prime minister's loyalty be allowed to be defiled by others? Now he declares himself, one is to avoid rumors, the other is to be corrected as the prime minister, and the other is to...
