Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 259 General Zuo, Liu Chan who bought horse bones for a thousand dollars
Chapter 259 General Zuo, Liu Chan who bought horse bones for a thousand dollars
Guo Xiu was thinking about something, and he just lay in bed without closing his eyes until dawn. Unlike the three people living next door who slept soundly, they were immersed in dreamland, as if they had dreamed of something wonderful.
things happen,
But the most important thing is that they have been harassed by mosquitoes and fleas in the prison these days and have not had a good sleep at all. After all, they have been driving from Xiping County to Chengdu for more than ten days in a row, and they are already very exhausted.
,
But they were not able to have a good night's sleep until today. There were not only these disgusting bugs in the prison, but also other prisoners. Everyone's schedule was different, so we couldn't let just a few of them.
Have a good sleep in prison.
After the rooster crowed several times, the sky in Chengdu gradually began to lighten up, and the palace door was slowly pushed open by the soldiers on duty with a huge "creaking" sound.
Jiang Wei personally went to the palace to report the matter to Liu Chan. Liu Chan knelt down in the palace. Jiang Wei entered the palace and slowly clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wang Shen and others finally figured it out last night. They are all willing to surrender to Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
What official positions should be given to each of the four of them?"
Liu Chan thought for a while and said: "I have read the military report submitted by Bo Yue. You said in it that the talents of Guo Xiu, Chen Guangqin and Chu Lei are quite good, but that Wang Chen is a bit poor. He only knows how to flatter.
I'm a flattering villain, but since they all demoted me to a big man, they still have to give me some preferential treatment in official positions.
In this way, when Wei is attacked again in the future, the officials of Wei will be more likely to surrender. It can also be regarded as the second time that my great Han "buys horse bones for a thousand gold" after Sima Taifu.
Let them know that surrendering to me is a good choice when they are desperate. After all, the treatment I can give them is not bad, even better than that of Wei."
Buying horse bones for a thousand gold was originally a method used by King Zhao of Yan. In 314 BC, civil strife broke out in the Yan State. The neighboring Qi State took the opportunity to send troops and occupied part of the Yan State's territory.
After King Zhao of Yan became the king, he eliminated the civil strife and determined to recruit talented people from all over the world to revitalize the Yan Kingdom and regain the lost land.
Although King Yan Zhao had such a call, not many people defected to him. So King Yan Zhao went to ask a man named Guo Wei for advice on how to get virtuous people.
Guo Wei told King Yan Zhao a story: Once upon a time, there was a king who was willing to spend thousands of gold to buy a thousand-mile horse.
But three years passed and the Chollima was not bought. An unknown person under the monarch volunteered to buy the Chollima, and the monarch agreed.
This man spent three months to find out that there was a good horse in a house somewhere. However, when he arrived at the house, the horse was already dead. So he spent a thousand gold to buy the horse's bones and went back to donate them.
To the king.
The king was very unhappy when he saw the horse bones he bought at a very high price. But the person who bought the horse bones said, "I did this to let everyone in the world know that you, the king, sincerely wanted to buy the horse at a high price."
It wasn't to deceive others. Sure enough, in less than a year, someone sent three thousand-mile horses.
After Guo Wei told the above story, he said to King Yan Zhao: "If your Majesty really wants talents, you should be like the king who bought a thousand-mile horse and let the world know that you are sincerely seeking talents.
You can start with me, and when people see that people like me can be reused, people more talented than me will come to you."
King Yan Zhao thought it was reasonable, so he worshiped Guo Kui as his disciple and gave him a generous salary.
And asked him to build the "Golden Platform" as a place to recruit wise men and talents from all over the world.
Soon after the news spread, some talented celebrities and wise men came one after another and expressed their willingness to help King Yan Zhao govern the country.
Soon, Le Yi came from Wei, Zou Yan came from Qi, Ju Xin came from Zhao, and talented people rushed to Yan. King Zhao mourned the dead, comforted the living, and shared the joys and sorrows with the people.
Twenty-eight years later, the Yan State was prosperous, the soldiers lived a comfortable life, and they were all willing to fight for the country.
Therefore, King Zhao appointed Le Yi as general and conspired with Chu, Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han and other countries to attack Qi.
Qi was defeated, and King Min of Qi fled abroad. The Yan army pursued the fleeing Qi army alone, captured Linzi, the capital of Qi, plundered all the treasures there, and burned the palaces and ancestral temples of Qi.
The only cities of Qi State that were not captured were Ju and Jimo. They were only a few steps away from the destruction of Qi State. What King Xuan of Qi Tian Bijiang did to Yan State was repaid with blood.
In 314 BC, civil strife broke out in the Yan Kingdom, and King Xuan of Qi took the opportunity to send troops to intervene. In just fifty days, he captured Ji (today's Beijing), the capital of the Yan Kingdom, and almost destroyed the Yan Kingdom.
But this also paved the way for the decline of Qi. Thirty years later, in order to avenge this, King Yan Zhao, under the command of Le Yi, commanded the coalition forces of Yan and the five kingdoms of Zhao, Qin, Han, and Wei to attack Qi, and captured more than 70 cities.
,
Although Tian Dan finally relied on Tian Dan to defeat the enemy and restore the country with the Fire Ox Formation, Qi State declined from then on. It can be said that it was a cycle of fate. But in the final analysis, King Min of Qi was too stupid, made frequent mistakes, and did not have the strength of Qin State.
That led to such an end,
Now Liu Chan wants to spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones again. He obviously wants to imitate King Yan Zhao to make the country strong. Unfortunately, Liu Chan is not King Yan Zhao, nor is he Liu Bei. Most likely he will not be as good as King Yan Zhao.
Nowadays, Cao Wei and Sun Wu are very tight on talents, so it will be your Majesty's turn to build the Golden Platform to recruit talents from both countries. However, Jiang Wei still did not point out these things. He did not immediately throw cold water on Liu Chan. He just cupped his fists and complimented: "
Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Chan thought for a while and then said: "In that case, let Guo Xiu be the general of the left, Chen Guangqin and Chu Lei be the censors, and Wang Chen will let him be the minister. What does Bo Yue think?"
Jiang Wei said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I think that Chen Guangqin, Chu Lei, and Wang Chen all have appropriate official positions, but is Guo Xiu's official position too high? After all, Guo Xiu has just come to my country, so I gave him such a high position. I'm afraid the court will
Many of them are dissatisfied."
Liu Chan said with a smile: "Well, isn't Guo Xiubeyue a great talent? I thought that such a person is worthy of me imitating King Yan Zhao's daughter to buy horse bones. Since I want to imitate,
Then simply give him a larger official position and be more generous, so that many talents can come to join me as a big man."
Jiang Wei said: "Your Majesty is wise, I wonder when your Majesty plans to receive them?"
Liu Chan said: "Let's do it tomorrow. Let them have a good rest today. Bo Yue will also go back and rest today." Then he went to the inner palace.
On the way back, Jiang Wei thought to himself, General Zuo? Your Majesty is really generous. Even his General Wei is only one level higher than Guo Xiu's General Sifang, but there is a huge difference at this level.
