"Others are fine, but the Xu family has always cultivated dead soldiers and recruited disciples from green forests... If Ci leaves, the lord will have to bring Youping back, so Ci can rest assured!"
Taishi Ci said very solemnly, as if "I won't leave until Zhou Tailai takes over."
He is responsible for Bai Tu's bodyguard. Even if he has to leave on other errands, he must make arrangements for Bai Tu's safety. Even Bai Tu can't stop this!
The person who can be trusted by Taishi Ci is Zhou Tai... No matter in terms of character or ability, Taishi Ci feels that he can temporarily protect Bai Tu on his behalf.
After Yan Baihu's execution, Zhou Tai had been in Wu County, assisting Chen Gong in quelling the remaining mountain bandits in Wu County.
"Well, the large-scale mountain bandits in Wu County have basically disappeared. The easy-to-break mountain bandits have been defeated, and the difficult-to-break city bandits are not something Youping can use... This is called
Youping, come back." Bai Tu agreed.
"Moreover... Lord, according to Mr. Genju, and with the letter from the Hua Division and the Lord, Ci is somewhat confident in persuading him to come to Jiangdong, but according to Mr. Guan, he has always been unwilling to serve as an official, and..." Taishi Ci hesitated.
In fact, Bai Tu also knew what he was going to say, but because Hua Xin was now a colleague in Jiangdong, Taishi Ci couldn't explain it in too much detail!
As we all know, the relationship between Hua Xin and Guan Ning is somewhat subtle. The allusion of "Guan Ning cuts off the seats" puts Guan Ning firmly on the moral contempt chain, ranking higher than Hua Xin.
It is said that Hua Xin and Guan Ning farmed and studied together when they were young. Guan Ning saw gold leaves in the field, but didn't look at them. Hua Xin picked them up... and saw Guan Ning's face before throwing them down again. He was embarrassed.
Put it away, and while Hua Xin was still studying, his attention was attracted by the motorcade of powerful people passing by outside.
Therefore, Guan Ning felt that this person who did not like to study could not make friends with him, so he cut off all relations with him...
Of course, in fact, Guan Ning did not really break off relations with Hua Xin, but only used practical actions to stimulate Hua Xin. From a positive perspective, it may not be regarded as "incentive".
However, after Hua Xin became an official, this matter somehow spread, and was regarded as an allusion to encourage learning, and even to be cautious in making friends!
This made the relationship between the two awkward...
Historically, after Hua Xin gained a high position in Cao Wei, he often recommended his old friend Guan Ning. However, I don't know whether it was because Guan Ning looked down on Cao Wei, or because Hua Xin recommended him because of his shame. Guan Ning did not serve as an official until his death.
.
"Whether Mr. Guan is an official or not, you will give him the letter. I also wrote in the letter that even if he is unwilling to become an official, he is welcome to come to Jiangdong to live in seclusion." Bai Tu said.
As long as a celebrity like Guan Ning doesn't cause trouble, it will be profitable to keep him in vain!
Bai Tu also has no prejudice against Hua Xin. He will not feel that he is not a great person because of Hua Xin in "Guan Ning Cuts the Seat", nor will he feel that he is not a great person because of Hua Xin in "Blood Clothes Edict" or "Shou Zen Platform".
And decided that he was a traitor and traitor.
Of course there are loyal advisers and good generals, and they are highly praised by both the people and the government, but Bai Tu cannot expect that everyone is Taishi Ci, everyone is his adoptive father, everyone is.
His second brother, it is impossible not to use Tai Shi Ci.
For example, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, the children of the aristocratic families currently employed by Bai Tu, and even Lao Lu Kang, Bai Tu's bottom line for them is only "contribution" and "don't betray me".
What Bai Tu values is Hua Xin's political achievements when he governed Yuzhang for the Han Dynasty, and Hua Xin's contribution to Cao Wei in resisting the rise of clans in later generations...
Hua Xin once almost beat Sima Yi to death in the court. Unfortunately, the then Wei Emperor Cao Rui and the general Cao Zhen did not listen to his advice and eradicate the roots. After that day, Sima Yi came back to power. After being unable to restrain himself, Hua Xin began to interact with Sima. Well, his descendants safely became important officials in the Western Jin Dynasty. It seems no wonder that Hua Xin...
If one day, Bai Tu is overturned by a car, I believe that as long as the other party says a few good words, these people will switch to another party - just like the ministers of Yizhou after Liu Bei entered Shu.
Bai Tu didn't mind this, as long as it wasn't Chen Gui or Zhang Song who took the initiative to sell, nor was it the Cai and Kuai families who were in Liu Ying's heart and were looking forward to surrendering soon after Liu Biao became old and ill. Yes, the white pictures can be used according to your talents.
It's normal to have desires and desires. Bai Tu can trust those who can satisfy his desires.
For example... wasn't Gan Ning also interested in his Shu Brocade craftsmanship?
In essence, it is similar to Hua Xin and Wang Lang, except that no matter how big Gan Ning's plans are, they are all under Bai Tu's control, and although Gan Ning comes from a noble family, he also has a very emotional side.
Hua Xin and Wang Lang, who are not sentimental enough, also pay great attention to their reputation and have basic moral integrity. They may be the same as the Yizhou family after Liu Bei entered Shu, but they will not take the initiative to be Zhang Song or Xu You.
Of course, when it comes to the level of trust, Bai Tu doesn't talk about it, and he doesn't even show it on the surface, but he knows it in his heart.
You can't be like Liu Zhang, who was still in a daze until he was captured, unable to distinguish between internal and external relations.
What's more important is that you can't give your subordinates the opportunity to show their closeness at home and abroad like Liu Zhang did - to make Liu Zhang have his father's talent and strategy, directly conquer Zhang Lu, enter Guanzhong, conquer the Three Qin Dynasty from Bashu and dominate the world...
At that time, Zhang Ren would rather die than surrender, Wang Lei would die to remonstrate, veteran Yan Yan would surrender, Zhang Song of Xianzhou, Wu Yi would become Liu Bei's brother-in-law... In fact, There is not much difference between them. They are all loyal ministers and righteous men who assisted Liu Zhang in Zhongxing and deserved to enjoy the Ancestral Temple.
Well, so you still blame Liu Zhang for not working hard enough and ruining the reputation of his ministers?
It seemed that he was a little too harsh on Liu Zhang, but Bai Tu felt that he could be stricter on himself.
Just like after the defeat of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Battle of Yiling, Huang Quan, whose return route was cut off, had no choice but to go north and surrender to Cao Wei. However, Liu Bei stopped his proposal to punish Huang Quan's family - Liu Bei understood that it was his decision-making error. Huang Quan was harmed, so we can't blame Huang Quan for wanting to abandon him.
And Liu Bei is also willing to examine himself for his crimes instead of using Huang Quan's family and reputation to clear his name...
After Hua Xin and Wang Lang stayed in the Prefectural Mufu, Bai Tu recalled Zhou Tai. After the Iron Tower man returned, Taishi Ci went out to Liaodong with more than a dozen soldiers. The guard commander Su beside Bai Tu was replaced by Zhou Tai. Thai.
Zhou Tai was also honored to be recalled as a "bodyguard" - after all, he was not a commanding general. Being the Lord's Chief of Guards showed his trust in him.
Historically, Zhou Tai has actually been the head of Sun Quan's bodyguards, and he has been the prefect of Hanzhong...
Hanzhong!
From Yizhou to Yongliang, if he were to be the prefect of Hanzhong in the Shu Han Dynasty, he would have to be a prudent general with both literary and military skills!
But... the Hanzhong prefect of Soochow? He was originally out of reach of Soochow, and there was no need to worry about taking office. If he really took the post, Sun Quan would have to dominate the world. Anyway, it was just the same level.
