Cui Yan sat in the car and staggered back to his residence.
Today's meeting with Xun Yu and what Xun Yu said made Cui Yan full of doubts.
Could it be that I misunderstood Boss Cao before?
After returning home, Cui Qin came up to say hello, and helped Cui Yan take off his outer robe and put on casual clothes.
Cui Yan nodded and motioned for Cui Qin to sit down.
Cui Yan's child died young, Cui Qin was the orphan of his friend, and was adopted by Cui Yan as his own child.
After the servant went down and Cui Yan drank some syrup, Cui Yan slowly said, "What do you think, Prime Minister Cao, how is he doing now?"
Cui Qin is not very old, but in an environment like the Han Dynasty, teenagers can already be regarded as adults, and Cui Qin is more or less the "proton" left by the Cui family in Xu County. On weekdays,
Food and clothing are provided by the government. It is said that you are "entering school" in Xu County, but is it actually...
Perhaps this is the earliest "happy education", anyway, everyone who knows it understands it.
So Cui Qin made a lot of progress in the study of serious poetry, books and scriptures, but he may have some different perspectives and opinions on interpersonal relationships and political situations.
Cui Yan asked Cui Qin to stay and asked, in order to learn more about the situation in Yingchuan, Yuzhou and Xu Xianzhong from Cui Qin.
The war between east and west is obviously a hot topic in current affairs.
If Cui Qin says that he doesn't know anything, is unclear, and doesn't understand, it's not impossible, but he may never be able to become a leader among the Cui family in the future, and will only become a dung-making machine and a breeder.
Gentlemen, especially aristocratic families, not only train the next generation, but even directly train three generations if possible. But generally speaking, after the break, the risk will be very high, so as much as possible, there should be
Only the leaders of the next generation are good.
Cui Yan asked Cui Qin, which was a kind of examination.
After the Battle of Hedong, Cao Cao basically stopped attacking and entered a state of retreat and retreat.
Shandong's main losses this time were mainly in personnel and property.
An absolute heavy loss!
Everyone knows this, and it is something that can be easily calculated.
But the question is, how much of the loss is "real"?
Just like listed companies in later capitalist countries, they always have two books of accounts. One is used to deal with tax agencies and is published for investors to see, while the other is for the bosses to see...
What about the harvest?
Although Cao Jun never announced any gains to the outside world...
Well, it’s not completely absent. For example, when Heluo was conquered, it was announced once. But Boss Cao said that those harvests would be put into the reproduction process and no dividends would be distributed.
Is there any problem with this?
Obviously it's not a problem.
But now the problem is coming. Boss Cao has lost the battle and the investment has failed!
Then, who is losing money?
It is said that Boss Cao committed fraud and harmed the major shareholders, but Boss Cao’s relatives were also arrested, injured and died, so can we say that Boss Cao did not try his best? Boss Cao also suffered a loss!
Therefore, the question Cui Yan asked seems simple, but is actually very complicated.
Cui Qin thought for a moment and said: "Prime Minister Cao's march into Guanzhong is indeed necessary to attack the enemy. However, Tongguan is strong, so he has to move to Hedong... However, the defeat in Hedong is indeed a bit strange... The child is in Xu County,
I heard rumors in the market that it was..."
Cui Yan waved his hand, "No need to worry, just say what you have to say."
"Only." Cui Qin responded, "I heard that Prime Minister Cao has made peace with General Hussar!"
Hearing this, Cui Yan smiled slightly at first, but after a moment he was stunned.
If the rumors are false, then of course they should be laughed at.
But the question is, what if it’s not fake, or not completely fake?
This suddenly made people embarrassed...
So when Xun Yu asked him to drink with him, he was vaguely using it as a joke after drinking?
When Cui Qin saw the change in the expression on Cui Yan's face, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He wondered if he had said something wrong. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
Cui Yan's headache became worse and worse.
He simply didn't believe what Xun Yu said about "Shandong being one body", "sharing weal and woe", and what Xun Yu said about "one hundred thousand talents and one hundred thousand blood" and so on...
He only believes in himself and his family's interests.
So Cui Yan's original plan was to first gain a wave of profits from Cao Cao Xun Yu and get a higher official position. When the Hussar really took over the Central Plains, he would immediately prostrate himself under Fei Qian's skirt, and then he could
It is equivalent to stepping on the left foot and stepping on the right foot, moving from the left pocket to the right pocket, achieving a spiral upward on the spot, and successfully changing careers three times.
Cui Yan glanced at Cui Qin and saw that he was a little panicked, so he asked again: "Did you get anything from your promise?"
This does not mean that Cui Yan does not know what Cui Qin did in Xu County, or that he does not know that Cui Qin is eating, drinking, having fun and visiting brothels. After all, this is the function of protons to reassure the ruler. If the old
The father is very strong and holds great power, including money and manpower. If the children are also very capable, then it is not a small goal that can be solved. There is no way that the ruler will take action while the fathers are still alive.
!
So Cui Qin can behave stupidly, be playful, or even do nothing, spend all day drinking and playing with women, all of which are in line with the ruler's needs, and he will even encourage and assist, but once he says he wants to be under the ruler's nose
If you want to start some business, make it bigger and stronger, then hehehe...
But the question is what Cui Yan wants, not the superficial things, but whether Cui Qin can develop in secret while maintaining the superficial lustfulness. Visiting a brothel is not a big deal, but if you really lose your mind with things, then
There is no hope.
There was a slight sweat on Cui Qin's head.
His biological father died at an early age, and it was Cui Yan who raised him. Although he changed his surname, Cui Qin knew that his original surname was not Cui, and the most important point was that Cui Qin was indeed not very capable.
Most people with weak abilities have a common problem, which is poor self-control.
Thinking that today’s wine will make you drunk, but the unfinished homework today can be left to tomorrow, so the more you put it off, the more you will naturally pull it off. In the end, you will just break the jar and treat it as if it doesn’t exist.
But can it really cease to exist?
When Cui Yan asked Cui Yan what he had done in Xu County during this period and what he had gained, Cui Qin's heart was pounding, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was hesitant and confused.
Seeing Cui Qin's behavior, Cui Yan also lost the desire to continue talking. He waved his hand to indicate that he was tired and asked Cui Qin to rest.
Cui Qin was granted amnesty, so he left quickly and pretended to ask Cui Yan to take care of his body and come back to see An Yunyun tomorrow morning.
Cui Yan nodded calmly.
This son is useless.
Fortunately, I adopted one in Jizhou.
Cui Qin was asked to leave, but Cui Yan still sat there, frowning in thought, and did not really go to rest. He couldn't understand what Xun Yu meant, and Cui Yan couldn't sleep or eat well. It was impossible to say that he had to wait until tomorrow, and it was not even an hour away.
I feel it’s too late!
What exactly is it?
Why exactly?
etc!
Cui Yan watched the light of the lantern held by Cui Qin disappear in the corridor, and suddenly his heart moved!
What a Xun Yu!
He fell into the trap!
Everything is actually on the surface, but Cui Yan went too far to explore the hidden meaning behind it, but forgot the most fundamental thing!
Just like Cui Qin.
Protons are also on the surface...
But whoever forgets the fundamentals is doomed.
What is the root of Cui Yan?
Not an official position, not a left foot and a right foot, a left pocket and a right pocket, but Jizhou!
This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Xun Yu......
No, Cao Cao is going to take action in Jizhou!
The threat to Youzhou is right in front of you, the threat is just around the corner, so what’s the problem with implementing war control?
No, no, no, I won’t kill someone directly. Not even Cui Yan’s son would do such a vulgar move, he would only use the art of war...
Why!
There are so many excuses!
And Cui Yan believes that there will be... no, there must be many people in Jizhou who have the same idea as Cui Yan himself and want to take this opportunity to hook up with Qiaoqi!
It’s over!
what to do?
Are you going back immediately?
Cui Yan exhaled a long breath.
No, there must be spies around his house now!
You must think of a way.
Cui Yan thought about it, and then thought of Cui Qin.
Since it is waste, it should be reused.
Since he obtained His Majesty's official position, Cui Qin may have felt that his wings have become stronger and he no longer has to listen to Cui Yan's words...
The last time Cui Yan solemnly told Cui Qin to "take care of himself", it was obvious that Cui Qin didn't listen at all.
Then I'm sorry.
If you want to blame, just blame this troubled world.
In a peaceful world, even a dog can be cared for by many loving but stingy widowed and lonely dog lovers. And in a troubled world, what qualifications do people have to enjoy without giving?
Cui Yan's eyes became cold, like cold stars in the sky. They seemed to have light but no warmth.
…
…
Xu County, Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty..." Huangmen eunuch bowed to the side and said, "It's late at night, your Majesty, please rest early..."
Classmate Xiao Liu did not raise his head, nor did he pay attention to Huangmen eunuch's persuasion.
Damn it, I can’t control this world anymore. Now I can’t even control when I sleep?
Most people have this kind of rebellious mentality that occasionally arises in their hearts.
Or you can call it revenge mentality.
Just like in later capitalist countries, many capitalists do not regard their employees as human beings, let alone the masters of any country. They just treat their employees as lower-level organisms than cows and horses. They can't wait to start occupying these workers from five or six in the morning.
The labor force of organisms that are lower than cows and horses, let them work to create value, there are many harsh regulations, strict restrictions and restrictions deprive them of free rest time, no matter if it is more than eight hours.
Under such circumstances, those who have finally escaped from the squeeze field will subconsciously play with their mobile phones in retaliation, trying to prove that they still have a certain degree of autonomy, but they don't know that even playing with their mobile phones is
Contributing traffic to capitalists...
The same is true for classmate Xiao Liu.
He thought that by working hard, he could prove that he could control something.
However, Xiao Liu didn't look at his phone. He was looking at the huge map that Xun Yu "presented" to him before.
Liu Xie was fascinated by the mountains, rivers, and counties marked on the map.
This is his big man!
This is his country!
This is Liu's world!
Liu Xie stretched out his hand in vain over the map, either grabbing it or pointing it out, enjoying it endlessly and relishing it.
"The Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen States in the World..."
Liu Xie pointed, as if he had transformed into a god, looking down at the earth, thousands of miles away in an instant.
As he watched, Liu Xie's brows suddenly wrinkled.
The Huangmen eunuch on the side thought that the lights were flickering and dimmed, making Liu Xie unable to see clearly, so he quickly scolded the young eunuchs to brighten some lights, cut and pull out the oil wicks...
But Liu Xie's frown was not due to the dim light.
But he suddenly discovered a problem.
"Come, go..." Liu Xie paused for a moment, but finally said, "Get the map of the countries in the Western Regions presented by the hussar!"
The Huangmen eunuch responded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Xie stopped him again.
"Wait!" Liu Xie paused for another moment, raising his head not knowing what to think about, and his voice became deeper, "Also... there is a wooden box on the bottom shelf of the innermost bookshelf in my study.
Take them together..."
The Huangmen eunuch agreed and quickly followed Liu Xie's instructions. After a while, he fetched all the utensils and placed them in front of Liu Xie.
Liu Xie first unfolded the "Map of the Countries in the Western Regions", and then looked at the lower right corner of the map of the Western Regions instead of looking at the countries in the Western Regions...
Over there are Yumen, Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye...
Those places that once represented the glory of the Han Dynasty now gave Liu Xie mixed feelings. Therefore, Liu Xie was unwilling to take a closer look before and put it away in a hurry. Now after seeing Xun Yu's map of the Central Plains, Liu Xie noticed it again.
In these places in the upper left corner of the map, I thought of this map of the Western Regions.
"The Western Regions..." Liu Xie looked around, then frowned and asked, "The Western Regions...are compared with the Central Plains, who is bigger and who is smaller? Huh?"
The Huangmen eunuch shrank his head.
Liu Xie asked without naming him, so the Huangmen eunuch pretended to be Liu Xie talking to himself and did not bother him.
"Of course it's the Central Plains..." Liu Xie really didn't mean to get any answers from the eunuch, "But... it's just..."
Liu Xie put down the map of the Western Regions in his hand, and then his eyes stayed on the wooden box.
There is a lock on the wooden box, but there is no dust on the surface.
The lock just means that Liu Xie doesn't want people to read it casually, but it doesn't mean that others really can't know.
Liu Xie took out a small brass key from his sleeve, opened the lock, looked at the contents of the wooden box, and sighed slightly.
There were no gold or silver treasures in the wooden box, nor any useful tips. There were just some tattered silk cloths and small debris.
The Huangmen eunuch took a quick glance, then lowered his head deeply, wishing he could shrink into the shadows.
Liu Xie rummaged through the wooden box and found an old piece of paper.
This is the first generation of Guanzhong paper, which is already some years old.
There are more impurities and the paper is rough.
The traces of ink not only stay on the surface, but also penetrate into the back of the paper along the texture. A small "ji" character can be vaguely seen, as well as an edge with a certain arc.
"Central Plains...Western Regions..."
Liu Xie looked at the Guanzhong paper and recalled that Fei Qian seemed to have drawn a map casually with his pen.
Shouldn’t the Central Plains be the largest and most important place in the Han Dynasty?
Why is it that in this sketch drawn by Fei Qian, the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty...
How could the Central Plains be so small?
It's like a small egg.
He didn't believe it back then, but he didn't throw away the map. When he left Chang'an that year, he didn't bring many things with him to Xu County. Most of them were packed in this wooden box.
It's like pretending to be a memory from that time.
Memories that he once thought he had forgotten.
Now Liu Xie remembered that he had kept this sketch all those years ago, just thinking that after he proved Fei Qian wrong in the future, he would put the facts and this map in front of Fei Qian, and let Fei Qian bow his head and admit his mistake...
The lights flickered.
Liu Xie finally let out a long breath and said, "Just take it."
Only then did the Huangmen eunuch emerge from the shadows and responded.
"Wait." Liu Xie stopped him again, "Tomorrow we will summon the patrolmen to the court to discuss the size of the Han territory."
The Huangmen eunuch agreed.
Liu Xie then left, and another young eunuch carried a lantern and went to rest.
The eunuch of Huangmen led his men to clean up.
A young eunuch rolled his eyes and approached the Huangmen eunuch, "Master, what happened to Your Majesty today? It wasn't like this before..."
"Less talk and more work!"
The Huangmen eunuch glared and shouted.
The little eunuch shrank his neck and lowered his head to work.
The Huangmen eunuch glanced at the direction Liu Xie was leaving and thought, why else?
I’m so confused!
…
…
"He Luo..."
Also at night, Fei Qian, who made classmate Xiao Liu very confused, received the latest battle report from the front line.
Sima Yi, Xu Chu and others planned a military operation, and when they reported it to Feiqian, they had already launched a strategy.
That's right, frontline generals can adopt proactive small strategies if the big goal remains unchanged.
This is a behavior that Fei Qian has always approved of, and will not consider it as an overstep by the general.
After Fei Qian tried to reverse the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked the remote control and micro-control of the frontline combat, a shortcoming of the rear.
Frontline combat is ever-changing, and fighter opportunities may disappear in an instant. If you wait for approval from the rear for everything, or if you continue to fight with the same tips and tricks as when you go into battle, you will most likely die...
During the Song and Ming dynasties, the civil servants in the DPRK and China did not know how to fight, and they were greedy for military success, so they gave the frontline military commanders many so-called "suggestions" and "strategies" that were in principle and logical, including but not limited to formation diagrams.
Therefore, generally speaking, Fei Qian will not interfere with the operations of frontline generals. In many cases, frontline generals only need to report and make sure that it does not violate the general direction set by Fei Qian before they can execute it first and seize the opportunity to fight.
This effect is naturally good.
But there are also problems.
Just like this time's battle plan, Fei Qian noticed something was wrong...
