Chapter 3022: Battle of Encounter and Battle of Encounter
When family, country, and world are entangled by interests, these three things will always appear to be weak in human nature.
Xiahou Yuan believed that family is the country and the world.
The Xiahou clan of Cao represents everything, so he has undoubtedly loyalty to Cao Cao and Xiahou clan. Even if he was scolded by Cao Cao as a general of white land, he was willing to do so. Because to a certain extent, Xiahou Yuan believed that Cao Cao was the leader wolf, and what could it be considered by the leader wolf bitten twice, scratched a few times, and roared a few times?
But not all wolves in the pack will obey the wolf king.
In history, Sima Yi was undoubtedly the wolf who rebeled against the wolf king in the Cao Wei camp. He did not dare to move in the early stage because he knew that there was no good result when he moved, so he would rather pretend to be stupid. When he acted later, he would cut off the weeds without mercy, which was in line with the appetite of those who liked to kill decisively in the future.
Unfortunately, Sima Yi’s biggest problem was actually never solved from beginning to end...
Just like Xiahou Yuan never felt that he had any problems.
The problem is that they think their behavior is OK.
Now, the two have done something similar again.
Sima Yi used Hedong as bait when he was in danger, while Xiahou Yuan used his danger and above the party as bait.
Although Sima Yi and Xiahou Yuan may have a difference in intelligence, they are essentially the same, and they both hope to find out the opponent's weaknesses and attack them by mobilizing the opponent's troops. The gap is that Xiahou Yuan's main purpose is only military, while Sima Yi also pursues a win-win or win-win situation in politics.
Sima can win at least twice.
When Sima Yi stirred up the Hedong, which was like a stagnant water, Xiahou Yuan also sent troops to attack Shangdang. Zhao Yan was the vanguard and rushed to Taihang Xing...
Make questions from each other and guess questions from each other.
This is an exam about life and death.
In the school exam, right or wrong may be just a thug board. However, under the so-called tolerant and reduce burden in later generations, even the simple pain of a thug board is exempted, leaving only pure happiness and simple procedures, screening the original talented people with perseverance again and again, but quietly closing the channel for ordinary people to advance.
The position above is too crowded...
Don’t go up and take advantage of your advantages below!
After all, it is too cold to the heights.
The sky gradually became brighter, and although there was a newborn sun in the valley, it was still a little cold.
Zhao Yan looked up at him.
The white frost and snow-covered area on the hills is getting bigger and bigger.
The road ahead is still winding.
The white smoke that the soldiers vomited when they walked was blown away by the mountain mist in a blink of an eye.
The reason why Taihang Eight Passes is first required is that most of the roads are stuck in the valley between the two mountains. No matter which road it is, it may actually be a channel formed by the erosion and cutting of glaciers in ancient times in the past tens of millions of years.
There are basically high mountains and cliffs on both sides of Daoxing.
The towering Taihang is like a silent giant. Even if he is silently gaze, it will give the ants under it a powerful deterrent.
It seems that climbing Taihang Mountain from other directions is not bad, but no one can guarantee whether the next mountain will encounter gentle slopes or cliffs after crossing a seemingly easy-to-climb ridge. If the former is fine, but if the latter, it means that all the efforts of the previous climb will be in vain.
When Zhong Hui went to Yinping, it was probably because of the extreme internal and external relations. Otherwise, Wei Yan would just make a fool of himself. If he didn't dare to really make a decision, he would be successful if he didn't succeed.
Although there are no one to guard the ridges on both sides of Taihang Mountain, as long as they are stuck at the entrance of the gate, it is still a desperate thing. Fortunately, Shangdang's main combat power is restrained in the Huguan area, so Zhao Yan and others can "easily" move through the mountain road.
Compared to fighting in blood, sacrificing one's life at the entrance of the cliff valley, of course, it is naturally easy to walk and stop like this. But in fact, there is inexplicable congestion, and people fall into the valley from time to time. As for occasionally spraining ankle, stepping on the pumice stone, the big teeth collapsed. They are basically small notes that are not very eye-catching, and the truly gorgeous movement is the magnificent shadow that covers the north...
If the south wind is a gentle little lover, then the north wind is a tigress sitting on the ground to absorb soil. No matter if the people are blown in the ears, they will immediately shrink their heads and shake like sieves, indicating that they are really gone. The enthusiasm before the battle was swept away by the north wind, and then the north wind even made various ridicule sounds disdainfully, reverberating on the rocks among the mountains and forests.
Zhao Yan didn't say a word, turning a deaf ear to Beifeng's mockery.
Although the soldiers of the Cao army who were preparing to fight in Shangdang who entered Taihang Xing were carefully selected and trained for a long time, they were silent at this time, as if they were assimilated by the Taihang Mountains beside them.
Who can still talk while climbing a mountain?
That must be because I wasn't tired enough to crawl.
When the Cao army had just entered the Taihang Mountains, the soldiers of the Cao army were still talking nonsense, but at the moment they were too lazy to say anything more. Even if they responded, they just rolled in their noses, and they were reluctant to spit out a minute of their energy, which consumed their own heat.
The slogan is shouting loudly. Can you beat the Cavalry?
After entering Taihang Xing, Zhao Yan felt like he had walked into a jar. Should he break through the shackles, break the jar, or was suffocated to death in it and suffocated to death in the Taihang Mountains?
Xiahou Yuan did not enter the mountain. It was correct to think about it. After all, how many of the cavalry can play a role when entering the mountainous area? But this is the reason, but Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If he really encountered the cavalry army, how would he deal with it? How many lives of the soldiers can be considered a victory?
He has no answer to this question.
While thinking, there was a sudden riot in front of me, and someone exclaimed: "The Cavalry Detective!"
Zhao Yan felt a buzzing sound, as if all the blood in his body surged to his head. It seemed that in a trance, he heard that he seemed to subconsciously issue a warning order and dispatched soldiers to investigate. Then the soldiers around him gradually stabilized, and the blood surging in his body seemed to slowly calm down.
『…The only one who came was the Cavalry Detective!』 Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, 『There must not be many people! They also made a journey while exploring the way, but they didn't expect to bump into us! As long as they could kill their first tentative attack, these Cavalry Detectives would not fight, and would definitely retreat and pass it to the rear!』
Zhao Yan seemed to say to himself, clarifying his thoughts, and using this to encourage the morale of the soldiers around him. "When they go back, there will inevitably be a second tentative attack. At that time, we can set up an ambush and defeat them in one fell swoop, and then drive the defeated troops to attack most of their troops, and there will be a chance to understand them in one fell swoop! This is our opportunity!"
This is the truth, and the plan is the same.
If there is reason and plan, it will be implemented smoothly?
These cavalrymen and horses conquered the north and south, pacified the Yinshan Mountains, conquered the Xianbei Wuhuan, and pacified the Western Qiang Di people. They were already recognized as strong combat power in the Han Dynasty. In the previous conflicts between the East and West, to be honest, they basically failed to get much advantage under the cavalrymen. Now even if they marched while Fei Qian was not in Guanzhong, can they defeat the cavalrymen and horses, and can they unify the east and west of the Han Dynasty...
Everyone has no answer at this moment.
...
...
Chang'an.
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, looked at the latest news from Hedong, nodded slightly, then shook his head, and handed the news to Fei Zhen.
Fei Zhen coughed, cleared her throat, and then pretended to look at the news from Hedong.
『Bao, man, horse, weapon, training?" Fei Zhen nodded, 『This makes some sense...』
Pang Tong smiled, "What's the reason?"
Fei Zhen was stunned and pointed to the Xinbao and said, "Is this what Sima Zhongda said... wrong?"
Pang Tong nodded and said simply: "It's wrong."
"Ah?" Fei Zhen's eyes widened.
Pang Tong smiled and said, "If this is Sima Zhongda's heartfelt words, then this person will be like this... If he intends to mislead some stupid people... it is quite interesting, after all, it seems similar rather than... Haha... Therefore, what the prince said is somewhat reasonable, which is very important..."
Fei Zhen felt much better and nodded reservedly, but soon turned to Pang Tongzhi, "So what are the advantages and disadvantages of Guanzhong and Shandong?"
Pang Tong raised his head slightly, "There are many advantages and disadvantages... Actually, there are many, and some people are just aware of the superficiality. If you are proficient in this matter, the lord can only be said to be aware of the key points. No one in the world can be right. Just say that Sima Wusheng's words, the first word is wrong... Sima said that Zhuanghe Shengtun San is used as Zhuanghe, but in fact, Zhuanghe is more important than that, Shandong is very beneficial to Guanzhong."
"Ahh?" Fei Zhen was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Pang Tong said that Sima Yi's remarks were wrong but there was a deviation on some issues, but he didn't expect that the deviation was so big, which was completely opposite!
"Those who are superior should understand the pros and cons." Pang Tong said with a smile, "If you listen to the side and believe it, how can you trust it? Cao's army claims to be a million, is it trustworthy? In fact, Cao's army marched into Shangdang's troops, but in fact it is ordinary... This is Tian Ji's horse racing..."
You believe whatever others say?
What about your own mind?
Fei Zhen said solemnly: "I am taught. But what is the words of Zhuangtun?"
Pang Tong nodded and said, "After Guangwu, the ills of the Han Dynasty were abandoned by Shang Yang in Shandong and compared to Qi and Lu. Shang Yang's law was the law that was infringed by the people, and Qi and Lu were destroyed by the Tian family. People had desires, food and clothing, food and clothing, and they were all great desires. The lord now practiced the law in Guanzhong, and was not Shang Yang. The key was to control people's desires and coordinate them, disperse and gather them, with a summary above and a sufficient desire below. This method is a new law. The lord did not name it, and he also believed it deeply. The law can be used, but it cannot be called the law, which can be called the law of the time."
『Changes according to the times and changes according to the place. If the name method is used, it is the method of death.』 Pang Tong said, 『This is the key to the legal system. Shandong's law is actually the method of manor. Local tyrants gather in the land to benefit the court. Guangwu has established the country for two hundred years with local tyrants. Now the victory of Shandong's tyrants is Cao's... Therefore, Sima's words and Zhuanghetunsan's words are inverted and confused with black and white...』
History always rises in a spiral manner. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually a large-scale historical development regression.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou Dynasty was actually similar to the medieval feudal lords, and was a large manor model. It was very important to exploit and suppress the people, and class solidification and domination. Bloodline theory and knowledge monopoly were the mainstream of the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, many people were dissatisfied with the class solidification and began to fight and overthrow the corrupt old nobles of bloodline, which led to the most thorough Shang Yang reforms that broke the class solidification.
Twenty titles, regardless of origin or bloodline, any Qin person may obtain titles and improve his class, which immediately erupted with extraordinary enthusiasm. But Shang Yang's reforms must be all good?
Not.
All laws are stage-by-stage benefits.
If there is a law that has not been revised for decades, then something must have happened.
Because the society as a whole will develop and change, Shang Yang's favorableness erupted with the Qin State's extremely productive and proactive nature, but various problems arose in the late Qin State, and Qin Shihuang did not notice this, and Qin II was incompetent, so Qin State died, dying from the desire that was raised to become increasingly greater.
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, the world was a village, and it all belonged to the Ji family." Pang Tong said slowly, "However, the Warring States Period was divided into seven. Qin was unified, and the way of governing was different from that in the Zhou Dynasty. It was the same text, same rules and laws. This was the ruler of the superiors, and the people were divided into nine states. After Guangwu, there were thirteen states... The crown prince could tell that the land of Sichuan and Shu was divided into three parts in the south... Why is this? The people should be governed and divided into three parts!"
The Eastern Han Dynasty was a period of regression in the development of productivity in history, because during this period, the large landlord class of the Eastern Han Dynasty was restored. Local clans, sects, etc. formed a huge system structure, which only pursued individual interests, violated the overall interests of the central group, resulting in a huge cognitive bias. Some people even began to feel that they made great contributions to the country, so they should be the leader of the country for granted. The rest of the people in other places were like a despicable country.
At least that's what the people in Jizhou and Yuzhou think now. They think they contributed most of the taxes to the Han Dynasty, and the western and northern regions of Xiliang are eating financial meals every day and asking for money every year. What's the use of such a poor relative and country bumpkin? It's better to throw it out if you cut it out!
