Day by day, the Babel Tower was stacked brick by brick, almost touching the sky, and then suddenly one day, it collapsed!
When it collapses, it won't fall brick by brick, but it will collapse in pieces.
When the hussars appeared in Youzhou, almost all the soldiers of Cao's army shrank their heads and ran as hard as they could. They had forgotten all thoughts and just wanted to get as far away from these hussars as possible!
These Cao Jun soldiers ran away with their heads in their hands and lost their fighting spirit to resist. The reason may not be that all of them are not brave or strong...
Is this how this battle ends?
The most important thing is, is this the end of Cao Cao?
In fact, Cao Cao also knew that in this war, he had been seeking to survive in death and to survive in defeat.
Shandong seems to be a big place with a lot of people, but people have always been divided, with ulterior motives and their own selfish desires. Cao Cao knew that he had all the power and appointing cronies was not a good choice, but the problem was that if he didn't use cronies, he wouldn't have to use cronies.
For people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, the consequences may be even worse!
History has indeed proved this. When the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were no longer useful, the Sima family came up with a sinister smile. At that time, the supreme authority in the huge land of Shandong was so simple.
was overturned by a coup...
If Feiqian did not implement the industrialization process in Guanzhong, but followed the agricultural pattern of the Central Plains of Han Dynasty and the Shandong model, then he would undoubtedly not be able to keep up with Shandong's speed.
Since ancient times, human beings have been constantly choosing suitable places to survive in order to have a bite to eat. The Central Plains of China has also been cultivated and cultivated year by year, and it has become the most basic food demand in China.
Region. Therefore, owning the Central Plains region undoubtedly gave it a strong advantage in a feudal society where agriculture was the main pillar industry.
Cao Cao stood on Zhongtiao Mountain, looking at the yellow sand sweeping in from the north, and looking at the river rushing past in the south, and was speechless for a long time.
Cao Cao felt that Fei Qian was simply the biggest variable in the world.
The big man is actually very weak.
Thirty-four years of border chaos have consumed all the savings of the Han Dynasty.
Then came the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was equivalent to uncovering the only fig leaf between the Han imperial power and the local gentry, making both sides realize that the other party was so ugly...
The seven-year itch, and how many seven years have passed since the combination of the central imperial power of the Han Dynasty and the local gentry?
"I want to revive the great Han..." Cao Cao said slowly, "Did I make a mistake?"
"My lord is right." Dong Zhao said from the side.
In the early days, Cao Cao really only wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty.
It's just that his dream of making the big man glorious again was ruthlessly hit by reality time and time again.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's strong character, he might have become decadent under the repeated blows and completely settled down.
Hearing Dong Zhao say "nothing wrong", Cao Cao nodded slightly and smiled. Although what Cao Cao wanted to hear was obviously not a simple or even comforting word, but...
That's it.
If Fengxiao is here...
Cao Cao looked back at the mountainside, where there was a newly opened flat land.
In the flat ground, there is a tomb.
"..." Cao Cao was silent, looking at the new grave. After a while, he pulled out the knife guarding him, pulled out a strand of hair, and cut it with a click.
"Lord!" Everyone was shocked, wondering if Cao Cao was under great pressure and had a nervous breakdown.
Cao Cao returned the knife to the guard, then grabbed the hair and handed it to Dong Zhao, "Let's bury these hairs here too! It can be considered as apology..."
Dong Zhao was stunned, then took a step forward, bowed his hand and took it.
The mountains are cold and the rivers are surging.
…
…
In Xu County, at the Chongde Hall.
The splendid throne seemed to be a lot darker without the sunshine.
"Now in the war between the East and the West, I want to send someone to mediate, but I don't know..." Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu, "I wonder what Aiqing thinks?"
Everyone knows that Xun Yu is Cao Cao's logistics manager and represents Cao Cao's will to a certain extent, even though he has never acknowledged it in official announcements.
Xun Yu still lowered his head and his voice remained steady, "Your Majesty can decide this matter by himself."
Liu Xie took a breath.
If I can make my own decision, why would I ask you to come here? Do you think I don’t know that I, the emperor, am just a decoration? Without your consent, even if I issue a hundred edicts, I still won’t be able to leave even one of them!
But he couldn't speak so directly, so Liu Xie smiled and said, "The main thing is I want to hear Aiqing's thoughts..."
Xun Yu was also unambiguous, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter is both possible and impossible."
"this……"
Liu Xie swallowed his saliva.
The spit today, for some reason, was so hard that it almost choked him to death.
"My dear, why don't you elaborate on whether this is possible or not, and how?"
Liu Xie decided that today he would break the casserole and get to the bottom of it. Even if he really broke the casserole, he would not hesitate.
Xun Yu raised his head, glanced at Liu Xie slightly, and then lowered his head again, "Reporting to your majesty, this is... the Han Dynasty is all the land of the king, and there is no one who refuses to obey the king's orders... so it is okay."
"In the whole world, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers." Liu Xie nodded, "This... I understand, but everyone in the world can understand?"
Xun Yu lowered his head and did not reply immediately this time.
On the surface, it seems that Xun Yu means that Liu Xie's sentence is obviously difficult to answer, and in fact it is indeed difficult to answer. If you just think so, it means the full meaning, which is obviously wrong again.
Xun Yu is actually saying that the only thing Liu Xie has left now is his reputation as a righteous person...
But this "great justice" should not be used lightly!
Chinese people pay attention to yin and yang, which is actually the opposition and unity of things.
Therefore, when Xun Yu said that all the land in the world is royal land, it not only simply means that Liu Xie has nominal jurisdiction, but also means that Liu Xie has actually lost jurisdiction!
All the land in the world is royal land. Does this mean that everything owned by the people belongs to the emperor, or does everything owned by the emperor come from the people? Does it mean that the people on this piece of land have no private property, or does it mean that they own the emperor's property in the world?
Is it the property of everyone in the world?
Depending on the standpoint, what you see, hear, feel, and what you are willing to accept are all different.
Unfortunately, Liu Xie was obviously just sitting on his throne, sitting in the somewhat dilapidated Chongde Hall, and asked a little eagerly: "This is not possible, so what?"
As for Ma Rixi, we can't say that he is a good person or a bad person. He is just a mortal. He has talents but also has flaws. But no matter what, when Ma Rixi was on the mission, something happened, and then nothing happened.
When you feel good, just enjoy yourself. If something goes wrong, just make an announcement and be done with it?
Looking back, in order to make his behavior of holding up his pants and not recognizing people seem reasonable, he used a magnifying glass to pick eggs inside the bones? It means that a slap can't make a difference. If Ma Rixi himself had not had problems, Yuan Shu would not have done it.
he.
So in the end, was Yuan Shu dealt with?
Processed.
He was severely condemned.
Did you praise Ma Rixi?
Praised.
Give verbal praise once.
As a result, Yuan Shu ignored the pain and continued to do evil, even fueling his arrogance, and Ma Rixi's descendants...
Er, does Ma Rixi have any descendants?
Who?
What Xun Yu brought up was such an embarrassing thing. Even if the emperor wanted to issue an edict, who would mediate with the edict? The last person who followed the edict to mediate in this way is still dead.
"This..." Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu with wide eyes, "Aiqing, you... aren't you going?"
Xun Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, please forgive me... I am really busy with business."
Liu Xie came to his senses and waved his hand, "I said no, what I meant was...is there anyone you can recommend to Aiqing?"
Xun Yu slowly shook his head, "If Wenju is still there, maybe... Now, there is no one else to choose from."
"There is no one in the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty?" Liu Xie didn't believe it.
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "If your majesty insists... you can conquer Pi Lu and Su Lu Zijing and move forward with the imperial edict. The rest can't be done."
…
…
Not to mention how Liu Xie was confused by Xun Yu. He obviously wanted to sell a favor, but it turned into a favor for himself. Looking back at the Zhongtiao Mountain area, there was already a turbulent situation and clouds of war.
.
Chai Yu arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain. He thought that after being delivered to the field, he had completed his errand and could go back. However, he never expected that his errand would be extended...
He was captured and responsible for digging out the mountain and filling it with gunpowder on Zhongtiao Mountain.
Although the land east of Hedong is loess, and many places are covered with loess layers, there are still many areas in Zhongtiao Mountain that are rocky, and it is not that easy to excavate. Moreover, time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so heads are chopped off at every turn, and the attitude is tough, as if
These tasks should naturally belong to craftsmen such as Chai Yu.
This was not his business originally, nor was it his originally agreed upon mission...
"Agreed?" The clerk responsible for informing and leading Chai Yu and others to work raised his nose to the sky, "Who did you say yes to?"
The official position of a junior official is not big, but the official style is full of ten!
What was originally a simple sentence can produce seven to eight sounds.
Chai Yu thought at first that he was from Shandong and had served as a great craftsman in Xu County, so he could still try to explain to the clerk, "This is what I did before..."
It's a pity that in the land of Shandong, everything is low-grade and only those who are educated are good. It doesn't matter whether they are big or small craftsmen, or whether they have struck bells or cast cauldrons for the emperor. In the eyes of petty officials, they are just craftsmen.
"Before?!" The clerk interrupted Chai Yu with a sneer, "You also know it is "before"?! What was the situation before, and what is the situation now? Huh? Now that the Han Dynasty is facing a national crisis, you are so pushy, can it be?
Do you want to maliciously undermine the Prime Minister's great cause and cause us to fall short of our achievements?"
Using chicken feathers as arrows has always been the way for the petty officials to settle down and make a living.
Even if there are no serious chicken feathers, these petty officials still have to do some improper things to hold them in order not to tremble in their hearts.
For example, at the moment, the junior official felt that he had nowhere to show his authority, but Chai Yu came to the door. Naturally, he used his accent and shook his feathers to show that he was a serious chicken feather this time!
Chai Yu frowned and said, "I'm just asking, why did it become "malicious"? Besides, didn't the previous grain transport team just go back after they arrived here? Why did they change their mind when they got to me? Ask more
Not even a word?』
"Why are you asking?" The clerk sneered, "Do you need your consent for all major national affairs? Who are you? Do you represent the Han, the emperor, or the prime minister? Work honestly! Otherwise, I will ask someone to
Catch me!"
The clerk also cannot represent these things, but this does not prevent him from using these big hats to oppress people.
"Are you still being unreasonable?! Do you know that such capricious orders will make many people confused?" Chai Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Even in the feudal era, there was still a spirit of contract.
Just like there is a "contract" between the emperor and his ministers, there is also a "contract" between the ministers and the people.
Yes, the contract is signed with the intention of breaking it in the future, but don’t forget that after one party breaks the contract, don’t blame the other party for not abiding by the contract.
What is the most basic contract between Dahan?
It's "Three Chapters of the Agreement".
In a simple metaphor, these "Three Chapters of the Contract" are the Constitution of the Han Dynasty, and other subsequent laws are all reinterpretations and expansions of this basic contract. Normally, no matter how subsequent interpretations or expansions are made, they cannot violate the original Constitution.
But in fact, among the Han Dynasty, most of the time, the law that governs the people is not the original "Three Chapters of the Covenant", but various temporary measures and temporary notices.
Moreover, these temporary measures and temporary notices sometimes violate the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty...
Just like now, the temporary assignment of tasks is either a higher reward or a certain position, instead of cursing and indicating that you are a lowly untouchable, and you can't even do any work.
A small official obviously cannot represent the entire Han Dynasty, nor can he represent Prime Minister Cao, but he can be the point that breaks this contract.
Every incident is a separate point, and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with it unless it is expanded, spread, or biased.
It’s just that if there are too many points, it becomes a line.
If there are too many lines, they will naturally become faces.
The rest of the people in the same situation as Chai Yu were actually left behind to continue working overtime after their contracts were broken. However, most of these people dared to get angry and dare not speak out. Some people came up and took Chai Yu away and said, "Don't be serious, don't be serious."
, isn’t it just to do more work... What’s the big deal, if you do it, it’s your fault..."
These people surrounded Chai Yu. There were obviously more people, but they looked like weaklings. They pulled Chai Yu away from the minor official, and then smiled and bowed to the minor official.
Further away, the lower-status civilians and craftsmen also lowered their heads, as if they had seen or heard something, but they also seemed not to have seen or heard anything.
"Let's go, let's go!" Another craftsman leader pushed Chai Yu, "It's like this! I think you're new here, right? Just get used to it..."
Chai Yu couldn't laugh or cry, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Just get used to it? That's right, get used to it... Just get used to it..."
But is this really just something you can get used to?
…
…
When Li Li saw Sima Yi outside the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, he went up to pay homage and called him master, which shocked Sima Yi!
Cao Cao's estimate was correct. In fact, the vanguard of the Hussars did not go out to capture and kill Cao Hong, but wanted to make a surprise attack...
With Cao Hong and other defeated soldiers acting as a cover in front, most of Cao's soldiers would probably think that the hussars were not coming.
Li Li did not rush to attack, but contacted Sima Yi.
It happened that Sima Yi came from Puban and wanted to attack the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp again.
As soon as the two met, Li Li's behavior surprised Sima Yi. After talking for a while, Sima Yi found out that Li Li had learned the cavalry tactics he sent to Pingyang for registration, and was even better than his master in Anyi City.
Xia Haosheng stretched his muscles a lot and achieved good results.
Sima Yi laughed, and then refused to acknowledge Li Li's title of "master", saying that there were so many examples of tactics for civil war in the martial arts hall. If one learned one and was called a master, wouldn't everyone be a master? Sima Yi himself was the same.
I learned a lot of battle examples in the martial arts hall, but I didn’t say who I wanted to call my master.
At the end, Sima Yi said with some emotion: "If there is a master, it is appropriate to call the master a master! If there is no master here to teach martial arts, where will the rest of us go to learn these things?"
Li Li's eyes lit up and he no longer insisted on calling Sima Yi his master, but he still treated Sima Yi respectfully.
Sima Yi smiled and didn't think there was any big problem with Li Li's behavior.
It is normal for capable people to want to go further.
But it is abnormal for those without ability to hold high positions and prevent those with ability from coming up behind.
The two discussed the tactics of cavalry archers again. Although they were not as good as masters and disciples, they were invisibly familiar with each other and became much closer.
Sima Yi successfully recaptured Pubanjin just a few days ago. For Sima Yi, fighting this battle was actually not that difficult. A simple false report was able to mobilize Cao Ping who was guarding the city...
According to Cao Ping's existing Shandong tactical thinking, he was already far behind Sima Yi and others.
Occupying a county alone is like being a solitary son in Go.
If we finally get in touch with our forces, we can naturally produce some miraculous effects.
But the problem is that Cao Cao has lost even the Anyi camp so quickly. The defeat of the entire Cao army has been irreversible. Who will contact the orphans outside?
Cao Ping's defeat was inevitable.
Sima Yi took back Pu Ban, but when he knew that the Anyi camp had been destroyed, he thought for a moment and sighed, "What a pity! What a pity!"
