Chapter 3014: Making up lessons and taking lessons on shortcomings
Yang Xiu stared at the soles of his feet, watching his shadow curl up into a ball, just like his curled up heart.
I once had a tiger in my heart, sniffed the roses, and felt that I was an elegant person.
Nowadays, they are just for cattle and horses, they can be driven as they please, and they can only flatter themselves to avoid suffering.
I used to look forward to big events, great achievements, and thousands of troops at my command.
Now I only want my little life and my whole family, I bow my head and bend my heart a hundred times...
The Yang family used to be Yang Xiu's ladder and booster, but now it has become the thorns and shackles on Yang Xiu's body, trapping him to death in Luoyang and tying him up in front of Cao Cao.
There are no shackles on my body, but there are more shackles on my heart!
"Ah haha... I haven't seen Dezu for many years, how are you doing now?" Cao Cao still had a cheerful voice and old-fashioned words.
If it were Yang Xiu before, he would have been more arrogant as a scholar. He felt that his wealth and family background were not inferior to Cao Cao's, and he used some cleverness to show that he was unusual. But now Yang Xiu honestly came forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and answered:
"The common people pay homage to the Prime Minister..."
Cao Cao was a little surprised. He immediately stepped forward and pulled Yang Xiu up. On the way, he patted the dust on Yang Xiu's robe. He looked very friendly and said, "Hey, you and I have been friends for generations, why do you need to be polite?"
Haha, hahaha..."
Yang Xiu smiled.
That's right, a family friend who met with swords and guns, stormed the city, and broke in?
This family friend is "iron" enough.
"My family is suffering from severe paralysis, and I am having trouble walking..." Yang Xiu was not proud of Cao Cao's courtesy, but still said humbly, "I have specially ordered the common people to apologize to the Prime Minister, and hope that the Prime Minister will remember the past."
The friendship of the same dynasty avoids the crime of neglect..."
This is not to say that Yang Xiu is evading, it is indeed the case.
Yang Biao was old and had some rheumatism, so he had to walk with a cane all year round. Cao Cao also knew this, so he did not express any disrespect for Yang Xiu in coming to represent Yang Biao.
And from a certain perspective, when Yang Biao was the dominant figure in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was just a marginal figure, just a county magistrate. If he saw Yang Biao today, he would be somewhat embarrassed if he was a minor official with a few hundred dan.
Cao Cao was slightly embarrassed, Yang Biao was greatly embarrassed.
Therefore, Yang Xiu came to replace Yang Biao, which was in line with Cao Cao's wishes. Cao Cao came to greet him, which was a bit of face for the Yang family. However, Cao Cao did not expect that Yang Xiu would not show off at all after meeting...
…
How much of the smoke and fire in the world is willing?
However, the high-ranking San Gong family, even if they are just pretending, is rare.
Yang Xiu's appearance now is really different from Cao Cao's previous impression.
Cao Cao looked Yang Xiu up and down again, "Dezu, now... come here, sit down! Sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Yang Xiu followed Cao Cao's instructions and sat aside. His body was upright, his face was solemn and his expression was serious.
"..." Cao Cao looked at Yang Xiu, and after a moment he said with a faint smile, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, Cao Cao would never have believed that Dezu was like this... But what happened recently?"
Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu, who was so unruly and unruly back then and felt that the whole world was revolving around him, seemed to have disappeared without a trace, which made Cao Cao somewhat surprised.
"If you don't do something, you won't get a piece of wisdom." Yang Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a bit of a wry smile, "In the past, I felt that the heroes in the world were no good, but now I know that I am no more than me. Just like what the poem says, "Jian Jia"
The sky is green, and the white dew is like frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. If you follow it back, the road is long and blocked. If you follow it back, you will be in the middle of the water..."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, "What Dezu said...is he sarcastic about something?"
"How dare you common people? This is actually a sentiment, and it definitely does not refer to the Prime Minister." Yang Xiu fell to the ground and spoke earnestly.
"Haha, no need to be polite, please get up." Cao Cao smiled half-heartedly, "Dezu, I feel this... I am listening attentively, you might as well give me a lesson or two."
"I dare not say the word "teach me", Yang Xiu cupped his hands and said, "The reeds are like reeds. They are floating in the air. They are swayed by the wind, but stop at their roots. If they are floating, if they are still, if they are there, if they are not there. Just like Yang's
, with its pale green appearance at first, I thought it was a jade tree, but in fact it was a jade tree. I looked for the beautiful woman, but I couldn't find it. I saw it very close, but the farther I looked, it was like looking for the Luoshui River in Luoyang. After all, it was on the side of the water.
, I can’t ask for it...』
Cao Cao laughed.
Cao Cao felt that Yang Xiu had really changed.
I won’t talk about other things. If it were before, most of them would use other people as examples, but now everything is based on Yang’s example.
Although Yang Xiu's current words still have the flavor of mocking Cao Cao, they are much more subtle, and the change in his example habits can already explain some problems.
Based on the previous Yang Family's Glory, would Yang Xiu use it casually to make metaphors and give examples, or to make fun of himself?
"Dezu doesn't have to be too modest!" Cao Cao said with a smile, "Cao has long known that Dezu has talent, but he has never had the opportunity. Now he wants to recruit Dezu to be the prime minister... I wonder if Dezu is willing to surrender?"
Yang Xiu was silent for a while, then stood up and left the table and bowed, "Prime Minister, I am so virtuous, Xiu is indescribably grateful, and I would like to be driven by the Prime Minister..."
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao also left the table and stepped forward to help Yang Xiu up. Cao Cao's smile was very cordial, and he didn't seem to care at all whether Yang Xiu addressed him as prime minister or lord.
"Come on! Sit down!" Cao Cao laughed heartily, "Now that I have Dezu's help, I will be like a tiger with wings!"
Yang Xiu said a few words of humility, and then he heard the unsurprising words. Cao Cao asked how to defeat Hangu.
Yang Xiu was silent for a while, "It is easy to defeat Hangu, but it is difficult to attack Tongguan. If the prime minister thinks that Hangu is easy to conquer and takes it easy, then it is a hussar's plan."
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, "I dare to ask for details."
"The danger of Hangu began in Qin. However, Hangu in Han Dynasty today no longer has the prestige of the past." Yang Xiu's voice was very steady, as if he was describing an ordinary thing, "Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Shandong has been afraid of Hangu.
It is dangerous, so there are many dangers. Qin Han Valley was ruined, and the same was true for Han Valley. Even if the hussars refined the woodwork, it was difficult to save it... What's more, Han Valley hangs alone outside, and its shape is like a bait.
If the Prime Minister wants to take it, it will be easy..."
When Yang Xiu said it to the end, he paused, licked his lips slightly, and swallowed the last half of the sentence "How could the Prime Minister not know"?
Yes, Yang Xiu has changed.
People will change, especially when they are hit again and again.
The youth and frivolity of the past cannot be compared with wealth, rice, oil and salt, and the vows of eachother will be turned into ashes in the day after day. What's more, Yang Xiu in history actually didn't have much objection to Cao Cao.
What's more is just young people's arrogance and desire for expression, as well as their undisguised preference for Cao Cao's next generation.
This is a big taboo.
Now, Yang Xiu has lost a third of his impetuousness and gained a third of his calmness. He has buried his hatred for Qiusi and his resentment against Cao Cao deep in his heart.
Yang Xiu is still the same Yang Xiu, but he is no longer the same Yang Xiu.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, but did not say what Yang Xiu thought of Hangu, but continued to ask: "If you want to capture Tongguan, does Dezu have any good ideas?"
Yang Xiu smiled and said, "The Prime Minister wants to capture Tongguan, so Xiu has a plan..."
…
…
Of course, Cao Cao's purpose in occupying Luoyang was not to deliberately attack the Yang family, or because he had some unresolved hatred with the Yang family that would not be clean even with Huabei, but because Cao Cao needed a good base for advancement, and Linlinhan
In the Gutongguan area, what place is more suitable than Luoyang?
Could it be that Cao Cao was willing to fight at the front and let Yang shout cheers from the top of the city behind?
Therefore, at the necessary stage, it became inevitable for Cao Cao to attack Luoyang like a thunderbolt.
The danger Luoyang faced has always existed. It's just that Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and others have always tried to bury their heads in the sand to comfort themselves and hypnotize themselves.
Now I wake up from the dream.
Then I realized it was better to dream...
After all, there is everything in dreams, but in reality there is only cold iron and hot blood.
Although Cao Cao's army tried their best to conceal the news that Cao Cao had captured Luoyang, they could not hide it for long. They were detected almost at the same time, and they hurriedly reported it to Chang'an.
In Chang'an, within the Yamen of Huqi Mansion.
The uneasy and well-meaning black fat bird chuckled, "Cao Mengde is too careful! He has been getting worse and worse these years! He doesn't have the spirit to chase Zhongying under the moon..."
Of course, Cao Cao also knew that his military action of invading Luoyang could not be concealed in the end, but it was obvious that Cao Cao wanted to conceal it as long as he could and maintain a certain degree of concealment as much as possible...
Feizhen also laughed loudly, "That's chasing Han Xin under the moon! It's Prime Minister Xiao, not Prime Minister Cao!"
"What a pity..." Pang Tong shook his head and said with some emotion, "Prime Minister Cao is old! He no longer has the spirit of the past!"
Pang Tong is indeed right. Cao Cao is already older and is not as sharp as he was when he was challenging Dong, or before he was challenging Dong.
But where does the enthusiasm of young people come from?
Naturally, you can only be energetic if you are not afraid of failure, but why are young people not afraid of failure?
It's very simple, because the young man has never failed, or in other words, he has never had a real bad fall, broke his arms or legs, or suffered hemiplegia, so when racing, he doesn't recognize his relatives, laughs and laughs, without any fear.
Feizhen was somewhat fearless in the face of war. He was very excited and even had some expectations.
"Finally here!" Fei Zhen waved her hands, trying to imitate the words and deeds similar to Fei Qian's, "This time, the Cao thief will definitely come back!"
"Okay, okay!" The fat black bird looked at Fei Zhen, chuckled, and then narrowed his eyes.
Feizhen held her chest high and tried her best to show off her heroic spirit. However, in Pang Tong's eyes, it was just a show of force and not really heroic at all. Because Pang Tong knew that Feizhen still didn't understand what he was going to fight against.
, what exactly is it?
Is it Cao Cao?
Are you from Shandong?
Yes and no.
Under Pang Tong's gaze, Fei Zhen was a little confused, and she instinctively sensed that something was wrong, "What's wrong? Uncle Shi Yuan?"
"Haha... nothing, nothing, nothing..." Pang Tong said perfunctorily while sighing in his heart.
As Fei Qian said, some people should "make up for a lesson."
Among these "some people" was Feizhen.
Going smoothly will not produce good heirs.
When Fei Zhen was born, Fei Qian had basically gone through the most difficult period in the early stage.
Feizhen did not spend the time like Liu Bei did when he drank Songhe Laojiu and went bankrupt, nor did he experience the sword flash like Cao Cao did when Qinchi Laoqu fell. Overall, Feizhen's entire growth period was the largest
There is nothing more painful than reading.
Even though Fei Qian took Fei Zhen away from Yinshan, what remained in Fei Zhen's memory was more about traveling around the mountains and rivers, and practicing horse riding...
As for other bloody things, in fact, Fei Zhen didn't retain much of them in her mind.
Fei Zhen has no shortage of theoretical knowledge.
When it comes to the principles of loving the people, valuing the military, and governing the country, Fei Zhen is not bad, but most of them are just verbal theories. How much real meaning is there in the heart?
Of course, it is not completely impossible, but the road from theory to practice is long and arduous.
Fei Qian has also been teaching carefully over the years, but it is also deceptive to say that Fei Zhen can be like Fei Qian or Pang Tong and have a very clear understanding of the current situation.
Just like the children of later generations, elementary school students, junior high schools and high schools, standing under the flag, they scream love, love, love every year. In the article, various examples of love are repeatedly listed. Although they are all just formalities, they are somewhat true.
But if this is all true, the talented and beautiful ladies in the preparatory class for studying abroad just laughed and said nothing...
Therefore, Feizhen's current situation is a bit embarrassing.
Pang Tong touched his chin.
The problems Fei Qian mentioned before have indeed happened now.
Fei Qian and Cao Cao chose different directions, so Fei Qian couldn't use Cao Cao's method.
Cao Cao and later generations of dynasties were accustomed to adopting the inheritance model of having more children and raising more ghosts. It is possible that they would indeed cultivate a ruthless guy, but most of the time, becoming an emperor would mean being unscrupulous.
Synonyms even brought many people into the trenches, thinking that emperors should be ruthless and kill people when they are hanged...
But in fact, is such an emperor really a good person?
Is it possible for an iron-blooded emperor who is not merciless to his relatives, parents and brothers to sympathize with ordinary people at the lowest level, who have no blood relationship with him and have no communication with him?
Obviously impossible.
So from what perspective would such an emperor consider the problem?
Only itself.
Therefore, in most cases, the successor raised by Gu will become an emperor who is extremely selfish, extremely egotistical, extremely jealous and other negative emotions. Any decision he makes must be just to maintain his own rule.
, maybe in some cases it will happen to meet the needs of the society at that time, get some progress and development, and achieve certain achievements, but in fact, more often than not, it is no matter who cares about the flood, as long as you are happy!
If the dynasty family has a big business, a few more emperors like this may not cause all the harm in one or two generations. However, Fei Qian's current foundation looks very big, but in fact there are more points to pay attention to and maintain than in Shandong, among which the most important
The key is not the support of the powerful clansmen from the gentry, but Fei Qian's strong penetration and control of the word "military and civilian" over the years.
Especially in Guanzhong, under Fei Qian's constant management, what if he could just say a few bad words about the Hussars in front of ordinary soldiers and civilians?
Try it or die!
Respect is mutual. Ordinary people and soldiers feel Fei Qian's respect for them, so they naturally respect Fei Qian.
What if we change to a ruler who only knows how to be selfish?
What will be the result?
If you want to gain the respect of others, you don't mean to say you don't rely on your parents, or to belittle your parents and promote yourself, and then only know how to call "my dad" and "give money" when something happens.
Does the entire Fei Qian group respect Fei Zhen?
Of course I respect him, but it's more because I respect Fei Qian that I respect Feizhen, rather than because of how powerful Feizhen is.
Feizhen didn't seem to be aware of this at the moment, or in other words, she was somewhat aware of it, but she didn't think it was very important. Because in Feizhen's understanding, this time was still like a trip to the Yinshan Mountains, "touring mountains and rivers"
』, at most there will be some blood blisters on the butt...
Although he is much better than the average naughty kid, he is not naughty or troublesome, he is also somewhat intelligent, and his ability to understand and think about some things is not bad. Overall, his personal abilities, if we look at him as an ordinary person
, is more than enough, and can even be called relatively excellent.
But putting Fei Zhen in the overall situation and asking her to inherit Fei Qian's current huge legacy is still not enough.
Is it tough enough?
Do you have a keen sense of direction?
Do you have the patience of a hunter?
If you are not tenacious enough, you may change your mind at any time in the face of setbacks. And if you want to make a career, how can you avoid setbacks of all sizes along the way?
Without direction, it is impossible to take the right path. Once you make the wrong choice, not only you will fall into the abyss, but also those who follow you.
If you don't have patience, you will want to rush for success, clamoring that you have to defeat this little opponent today and watch the big scene tomorrow...
In these aspects, Fei Zhen cannot be said to be fully prepared.
In other words, it's not good enough.
"Young Master, I have a question..." Pang Tong laughed happily, as if he would win tomorrow, and asked Feizhen casually, "If we fight with Cao Mengde and capture him now, how will the young master treat him?"
?』
Feizhen's eyes were bright and she had no idea that the fat black bird was digging a hole beside her, "Haha, if I capture the thief Cao, I will ask him directly, "Are you willing to surrender?"
"Ah haha," Pang Tong smiled, "What if Cao Mengde says he doesn't want to surrender?"
"Push it out! Kill it!" Fei Zhen pretended to wave her hands, and after laughing a few times, she suddenly realized, "Ah, actually, this matter should wait until father comes to judge..."
"Haha..." Pang Tong laughed, noncommittal.
In fact, Feizhen's two answers each had shortcomings, but Pang Tong did not want to correct them at the moment.
Because Pang Tong knew that correcting it would be of no use, and Feizhen couldn't remember it.
It's not that Feizhen can't remember the answer to the question "Capture Cao Cao", but on the contrary, as long as Pang Tong or someone else gives Feizhen a "standard" answer, Feizhen will remember it, and most likely he will follow it.
The "standard" answer is to do it.
But it was precisely because of this that it seemed inadequate. Feizhen only wrote down the answer itself without truly understanding the answer.
"My lord has something that I didn't quite understand before..." Pang Tong said it like a casual chat, as if it was insignificant, but in fact he was going to use it as the final basis for judgment, "I wonder if you heard it, young master?"
After... "War is the continuation of politics"..."
"The military is the most important thing for the country!" Feizhen nodded and said, "I have memorized this book!"
Is "a major national event" equivalent to "political continuation"?
It seems to be, and it seems not to be.
A slight difference often ends up being a huge mistake.
Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, still smiling, and made a decision in his heart, "Since the young master knows, that's great..."
Fei Zhen laughed, not knowing that Pang Tong had already prepared a project to make up for him.
This is a lesson that needs to be made up, so let’s start from this point!
