Chapter five hundred and eighty first Tao Jun robbed the horse
Mr. Qu knew that the pottery merchant who was the lord of Jinling was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so open-minded.
In today's world, most of the princes are building cities, building fortresses, collecting grain, recruiting troops, raising horses, smelting iron, competing for political interests, and using them to dominate the world.
Who would care about the private school career that has gradually withered and failed due to the troubled times? It’s not that I don’t want to, but that is what should be done in peacetime. Now in the troubled times, it is a problem for most people to eat and survive.
Engage in culture? No effort!
But it is obvious that the pottery merchant has this skill. He not only wants to do it, but also does it very boldly. He obviously wants to do the best. "Do you really mean what you said? Are you lying to me, an old man?" Qu Lao said in a choked voice, which seemed to be the best.
Very excited.
The successive years of war have had a great impact on the private school industry. Many of Mr. Qu’s peers in private schools have changed their livelihoods, and those who are left to continue to persevere can only survive and survive.
To be honest, without Guo Jia's help, Mr. Qu probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Judging from the general trend of Yingchuan, if Xun Yu and others from the Yingchuan gentry had not been reused by Cao Cao, the private schools in Yingchuan might have existed in name only like those in other states and counties.
Of course, not all private schools will be doomed. Those with aristocratic families or aristocratic backgrounds are still standing strong and stable.
Mr. Qu stood up and said excitedly to Tao Shang: "With the words of the Grand Tutor, I should work hard to be the first. I can tell a few more people to go to the southeast together for the Grand Tutor."
Tao Shang nodded as if making a promise: "Don't worry, Mr. Qu. Tao guarantees this matter with his personality and it will never fail. The important task of revitalizing private schools in the south will fall on you!"
The old man excitedly picked up the wine cup and said, "In that case, after I drink this wine, I will immediately return to Yangdi to help the Taifu talk about Xiang and the others."
Tao Shang heard this and said hurriedly: "Why should Mr. Qu be in such a hurry at this moment? Can't we just have a meal and then leave?"
Mr. Qu shook his head vigorously and said: "This is about the inheritance of Confucianism. Students all over the world, how can I not be in a hurry? I am not in a hurry to eat this meal. It is more important to do business."
After saying that, the old man picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, then walked tremblingly towards the entrance of the tent.
Guo Jia also stood up in a hurry, followed Mr. Qu, and said to him: "Mr. Qu, I will see you off."
Mr. Qu waved his hand towards him and said, "No need to send it off, no need..."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Lao narrowed his eyes and stared at Guo Jia's face with confusion, wondering: "Who are you?"
Guo Jia and the potter both rolled their eyes helplessly.
Okay! The old man can't see clearly again.
Mr. Qu couldn't react to what was going on, so he just said to Guo Jia in a gentle voice: "I'm leaving first. Young man, please go back and tell Fengxiao for me, so that he can come back and see more when he has time."
Guo Jia: "..."
…
A few days later, Tao Shangjun's actions were brought back to Cao Cao by the Eagle Snake Mansion.
After Cao Cao found out about the potter's actions, he couldn't help but became furious.
He slapped the table hard and said angrily: "You little pottery merchant, how dare you do this? He actually dares to act wantonly on Cao's territory. He is really bold."
Cheng Yu advised Cao Cao: "Sikong doesn't need to be like this. Although the little thief's actions are arrogant, he is just looking for some corrupt scholars who have lost their education in Yingchuan to return to Wudi to run schools. What he is looking for is not our famous family in Yingchuan, and there is no need at all."
I’m nervous, and besides, the Tao family’s actions are also a kind act for the world.”
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Xi Zhicai felt uncomfortable... Why was he not from a well-known noble family, so he could just ignore it when the pottery merchant approached him?
Ge Yinzhicai did not come from a famous family, so he was quite knowledgeable about this.
However, he still understood the overall situation and agreed with Cheng Yu's words.
Xi Zhicai suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said: "What Mr. Zhong De said is very good. The current general trend of the world is money and food, soldiers and horses, taxation, household registration and other matters. As for the repair and rectification of private schools, it is not what we need to worry about right now."
If Tao Shang is willing to let him do these trivial matters, what's the harm in Sikong waiting to see what happens?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said solemnly: "What you are saying is wrong. Learning without thinking means nothing, and thinking without learning means peril. The way of learning cannot be achieved by one person since ancient times. The way of official learning and private learning
This is not the case. Although the world is in chaos now, the school cannot be abolished and the art book cannot be stopped. Although the pottery merchant's move seems to be asking for trouble, it is the right way... Moreover, the land of Yingchuan has been home to students from all over the world since ancient times.
The gathering place has such a good reputation, and many private schools are indispensable. If the pottery merchant took advantage of these troubled times and was brought to the southeast by someone named Tao, wouldn't Cao be guilty of a great crime?"
After hearing this, all the civil servants said together: "Sikong Gao has great views."
"Wen Ruo, Gong Da." Cao Cao turned to Xun Yu and Xun You and said, "The Xun family is a famous family in Yingchuan. It is by no means comparable to other noble families, and its influence is unmatched by others. Cao would like to ask the Xun family for help.
Come forward to settle students in Yingchuan, comfort schools, especially those dilapidated private schools, and ask you to convey Cao's wishes on your behalf. When the time comes, Cao will definitely revive the academic style, repair official schools and private schools, and give strong support.
Reshape the academic style of Yingchuan."
Cao Cao's words were very popular, and Xun Yu and Xun You naturally responded to them.
As a result, the two armies of Cao and Tao launched a smokeless battle for private school talents in the land of Yingchuan.
The attention of both sides was all focused on this, and no one paid attention to other things. As for Li Jue and Guo Si, no one paid attention. In this way, the pottery merchants were given a chance.
…
After Li Jue and Guo Bang met Zhong Yao and Jia Xu in Luoyang, they followed the arrangement and headed straight for Zhongmu County through the corridor in Xingyang.
Zhongmu County is very close to the Guandu battlefield. Cao Cao's army was originally stationed in Guandu, close to Zhongmou, but now they have all withdrawn from Guandu in order to farm and deal with the pottery merchants.
Unfortunately, what everyone never expected was that not long after Cao Cao's army left the battlefield at Guandu, the troops of Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zang Ba, and Li Tong arrived here.
These four generals were all sent back to Pei State by Tao Shang for various reasons before, but they did not live in Pei State for long and immediately led their troops back to the Guandu battlefield.
.
When Xu Chu left the pottery merchant's camp and pretended to return to Pei to collect food supplies, he took away two more people from the pottery merchant's army.
These two people are Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.
At present, these people who were quietly sent out by the pottery merchants all quickly returned to the Guandu battlefield while Cao Cao and the pottery merchants were fighting for the land in southern Henan.
They also had only one target, and that was the horses of Li Jue and Guo Si's Second Army in Zhongmu County.
The Battle of Guandu has ended. Li Jue and Guo Si have returned from Bingzhou. At this moment, the pottery merchant is making a high profile in Yingchuan. Cao Cao has all his energy on him and cannot care about anything else. It can be said that Zhongmu at this time
When the county was the most relaxed and lax, they never imagined that the potter's target from the beginning was actually them.
And after Tao Shang's instructions to everyone in advance, the general responsible for commanding all these people this time was his second brother Zhao Yun.
Before leaving, Tao Shang held Zhao Yun's hand and warned him carefully: "I have to say farewell to you after a long journey. Second brother, take care when you go on an expedition. Tao Shang will definitely hold Cao Cao tightly for your safety."
Be your guarantee so that he won’t notice the second brother!”
Zhao Yun curled his lips after hearing this.
Having lived to this age, Zhao Yun never imagined that one day he would become a robber who robbed roads and robbed horses.
If it were the original situation, he must have deeply despised his own behavior and blushed for his actions. If he didn't "examine himself three times a day" for a month, he would probably not be able to sleep.
But as he became a sworn sworn brother and spent more time with the pottery merchant, Zhao Yun found that his character was influenced by his third brother and had changed dramatically.
Especially this time when he became a robber, not only did he not feel any sense of remorse, but he actually had a faint feeling of... excitement.
