One likes to plan attacks, the other likes to study scriptures.
Zheng Pu, a person from Qiao Zhou, seems to be able to "talk without speculation" in terms of what he has learned and liked.
However, if people meet each other sincerely and sincerely, they can always find compatibility and mutual benefit.
Qiao Zhou was well acquainted with the Six Classics and understood astronomy. When Zheng Pu discussed with him, he often asked for advice on astronomy, which would be of benefit to "know astronomy and geography" when he led troops to conquer in the future.
Qiao Zhou, on the other hand, greatly admired Zheng Pu's unconventional thinking.
For example, the allusions randomly fabricated in the "Thousand Character Essay" can be used to educate and entertain, which greatly impressed Qiao Zhou, and he also consulted Zheng Pu for his advice, which benefited his state's mission of encouraging learning.
Moreover, their temperaments are quite compatible.
Although Zheng Pu has a strong nature, he likes to make jokes, while Qiao Zhou has a sincere and adaptable temperament. They are both informal and close in age, so they can have fun together.
Therefore, Zheng Pu personally sent a message to invite him, and Qiao Zhou had no reason not to attend.
And it came quite quickly.
The next day, the morning light was just breaking. Zheng Pu, who had finished dressing up, raised his sword and was about to perform martial arts exercises in the hall. He unexpectedly saw Qiao Zhou walking slowly and being welcomed into the small house by his retinue Zheng Yi.
Seeing Zheng Pu holding a sword, he smiled gurglingly, and instead joked, "Oh! I don't want the Zheng family to entertain guests, so I raised my sword to ward off evil!"
He also made Zheng Pu laugh with his hands and joked, "Of course! My sword is very sharp. I can kill dishonest ministers for the sake of the country, and I can kill those who are disrespectful like Qiao's son!"
After saying this, he handed the sword to Zheng Yi, his subordinate, and extended his hand to invite Qiao Zhou into the hall.
Let me ask, "Brother Yun Nan came and left so early. Could it be that Xiu Muxie is today?"
"Well, I'm taking the day off now."
Nodding slightly, Qiao Zhou said with emotion, "Since Zijin went to war last year, you and I have not seen each other for a year! Yesterday, Zijin came to invite me. I was very happy, so I came to visit very early, but there was no one to disturb Zijin's sword practice.
Already."
"Why is there such a thing as disturbing?"
After entering the hall, Zheng Pu, who asked Qiao Zhou to take a seat, smiled sternly, "I can learn the sword at any time, but it is a blessing to be able to sit and discuss with Brother Yun Nan, who is rich in knowledge! How can the two be compared?"
"Stop it! Stop it!!"
Helplessly lowering his head and shaking his head, Qiao Zhou raised his hand and pressed it softly, "Zijin, don't laugh at me anymore."
"Haha~~~"
Zheng Pu's beautiful teeth turned into talking about the long-awaited friendship.
The two chatted for a while, and then Zheng Pu calmed down, cupped his hands and said softly, "Brother Yunnan, to be honest, I am inviting you today. One of them is that you and I have been separated for a long time and are very thirsty; the other is that I have something to trouble me."
Brother Yunnan, help me."
"Zijin's words are wrong."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhou also looked solemn, pretending to be annoyed, "Zijin and I are the friends of gentlemen. I have also heard that friends are the helpers of colleagues. If Zijin needs my help with anything, just tell me."
Yes, why bother talking about it?"
"good!"
Zheng Pu praised the case, and smiled broadly, "Brother Yunnan has the style of a sage!"
After saying that, he stood up with his case, asked Qiao to walk around and walked to the study.
As he walked slowly, Zheng Pu looked over and whispered, "I know that Brother Yunnan has a deep understanding of ancient history and is knowledgeable about ancient history. Therefore, I would like to ask you to write several articles for me. There is no need to decorate it with gorgeous words, but I only want to be illiterate."
You just need to listen and understand what it means."
Well?
Qiao Zhou paused in his steps and raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Zheng Pu had no intention of joking, he nodded and walked forward.
In my heart, I felt an incredible feeling.
First of all, I am talking about ancient history, but I also claim that I want the illiterate to understand after hearing it?
Isn’t it contradictory?
After entering the study and being invited by Zheng Pu to join the case, it became clear.
This is because several bamboo slips have been laid out on the case table, and the names of the volumes have been recorded, but the text has not been written.
Looking at them one by one, they are: "Shepherding sheep for nineteen years, and the poor sea will never give in", "A single soldier defends the isolated city of Shule, and thirteen soldiers return to Yumen", "Although I am a son of the Huns, I swear to be named a Marquis of the Han Dynasty"
, "Guarding one's life and loyalty will last for seven generations."
Qiao Zhou, who was well versed in ancient and modern studies, knew who the four books were talking about without having to think about them.
One of them is Su Wu, one of Emperor Xuan's "Eleven Heroes of Qilin Pavilion".
He was worshiped by Emperor Wu as Zhonglang General and sent as an envoy to the Huns.
He was imprisoned by the Huns in order to surrender him. Su Wu was unyielding and shepherded sheep in the bitter cold land of the North Sea for nineteen years before returning to the Han Dynasty.
Secondly, there is Geng Gong, who was born in the Geng family of Fufeng.
He was worshiped by the imperial court as Wuji Xiaowei, guarding the Western Regions and demonstrating the mighty virtue of the Han Dynasty.
The Xiongnu killed the Cheshi King to force him to rebel, and sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Shule City, which Geng Gong was defending.
Gong led his soldiers to hold on, and after months and months of food and destitution, they boiled their armored crossbows, ate their sinews and hides, and drank the horse dung juice. However, they refused to surrender and insulted their integrity. Later, the imperial court sent troops to rescue them. When they returned to Yumen Pass, they raised
From top to bottom, only thirteen people survived!
Thirdly, Gao Bushi was the king of the Xiongnu tribe during the Han Dynasty.
Later, he joined the Han Dynasty and was appointed as a school captain. He served as General Huo Qubing in attacking the Xiongnu and was awarded the title of Marquis of Yiguan for his merits.
Finally, there is Jin Rixi, who was originally the prince of the Xiongnu tribe.
After being defeated, he surrendered to Huo Qubing and entered Chang'an. He was favored by Emperor Wu, who gave him the surname Jin, and later held many positions.
He once killed his son to show his etiquette, and he was so meritorious that he was selected by Emperor Wu as one of Emperor Zhao's four most important ministers.
His descendants and descendants were all famous for their loyalty and filial piety, which lasted for seven generations.
Nowadays, Geng Ji, the Shaofu, who was both born in the Geng family in Fufeng, and Jin Yi, the successor of Jin Rixi, saw Cao Cao in Wei and Wu being dictatorial and domineering, and saw that Han Zuo was about to move. They lamented and got angry, and gathered a crowd in the 23rd year of Jian'an (218 AD).
Thousands of people planned to attack Chang Shi Wang Bi, who was the governor of Yulin's army, seize his military power to support Emperor Xian, and secretly enlisted Liu Bei, the former lord, as foreign aid.
It's a pity that they were defeated and killed, and they were all executed by their clan!
However, the family name will remain in history and will live up to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
After Qiao Zhou read the contents of each volume, his eyebrows were solemn.
Although he is a Confucian, he is by no means a person who "cannot hear what is happening outside the window and only thinks about the writings of sages."
Therefore, I also understood why Zheng Pu asked him to sign the document.
Nothing more than planning for the Northern Expedition!
Su Wu and Geng Gong set an example for the ministers to inspire the generals and soldiers to admire Han's grace and to fight to the death in the face of battle!
However, Gao did not know Jin Rixi, and served the Han with foreigners. His outstanding achievements inspired the Nanzhong barbarian tribes who were moved to Shu and Hanzhong County to fight for the Han to conquer the Central Plains!
Therefore, in his heart, he was also somewhat impressed.
I was impressed by Zheng Pu's foresight.
As soon as the rebellion in the Nanzhong counties was suppressed, and everyone in the imperial court was trying to appease them, Zheng Pu had already planned a Northern Expedition!
I also admire Zheng Pu for his diligence in doing things.
Without asking, he knew that this matter was beyond Zheng Pu's responsibilities and that he did it privately.
Otherwise, if the Prime Minister gave the order, how could Zheng Pu pretend to be an official with his hand?
A stream of thoughts flowed like a fountain.
After Qiao Zhou sighed in his heart, he looked at the bamboo slips and pondered slightly, then he took up writing and wrote quickly.
Each volume contains about four to five hundred words, and they are all completed in a short time. The articles are signed so quickly that before the ink on one volume is dry, the next volume is ready!
Zheng Pu, who was beside him, was amazed. He took a volume and looked at it. Seeing that the article was easy to understand and catchy, he couldn't help but sigh, "The article in four volumes can be completed with just a few strokes of ink. From this we can see that the descendants like me and others in Bashu can't do anything."
People come out of Brother Yunnan’s right!"
"Zi Jin is so complimentary!"
Putting down his pen gently, Qiao Zhou rubbed his wrists to be humble and smiled sternly.
"No!"
Zheng Pu smiled happily, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, turned around and searched among the utensils for a while.
But he took out two more bamboo slips and said with a smile, "There is a way to not bother two masters. Since Brother Yunnan has written and signed the article, and his literary thoughts are flowing like a fountain, you might as well help me write another one."
"That's fine."
In response, Qiao Zhou nodded in response.
Four volumes have been finished, it doesn't matter if there is one more volume.
However, when Zheng Pu spread the bamboo slips on the case, his eyes were stunned, his mouth was stunned, and his mind was trembling.
The first is a blank bamboo slip with the title of the volume recorded, which is: "The traitors of the Han Dynasty do not stand at odds with each other, and the king's industry does not favor peace."
The other is the supporting words needed for signing the document. There are many small characters, densely packed on the bamboo slips.
"In the fourth year of Chuping and the first year of Xingping, they attacked Xuzhou and killed many people. The Si River was not able to flow."
"In the third year of Jian'an, Lu Bu was conquered and Pengcheng was killed."
"In the fifth year of Jian'an, during the Battle of Guandu, tens of thousands of soldiers were surrendered."
"In the ninth year of Jian'an, he attacked Yuan Shang and killed Yecheng."
"In the 19th year of Jian'an, Xia Houyuan killed Wu Han."
"In the 20th year of Jian'an, he attacked Hanzhong, passed through Wudu, and killed more than 10,000 people in the clan of Dou Mao, the king of Di in Hechi."
"In the 24th year of Jian'an, Cao Ren killed Wancheng."
"In contrast to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, the farming system and the scholar family system (the military system of the world), men will join the army when they are young, and women are not allowed to marry among the people. If the wife is a widow, she will be forced to change her wife and other soldiers will be forced to change their wives. Moreover, all counties and counties have records and strict investigation
Widows were given to wives and soldiers. However, the private merits of small officials in the prefecture were often recorded in the records of the daughters who had been married off, as well as widows or married women among the people, and were given to soldiers as wives, so that the people wept on the road."
Zheng Pu, who was standing beside him, saw a look of fear on his face and eyes, and remained silent for a long time, so he spoke softly and said, "The Wei Dynasty treats the common people like grass and grass. Cao Cao and his generals massacred the people, and there were many others."
It is a tyrannical government. I also ask Brother Yunnan to write it on my behalf, so as to tell the world and accuse him of being unkind."
"well"
After hearing this, Qiao Zhou came to his senses and sighed loudly.
He is familiar with the past and understands the present, so he naturally knows it. He has observed throughout the dynasties that there is a saying that "fighting for land means fighting, killing people to fill the fields; fighting for cities to fight, killing people to fill the city."
However, most of the killings were caused by soldiers on the battlefield.
The common people of Li were innocent, so why did they massacre them in the city?
In particular, the act of taking a "born woman" and using her wife as a soldier is unheard of since ancient times!
People are not grass and trees, how can they be so harsh and cruel!
Qiao Zhou lowered his eyes slightly and did not reply. Instead, he tried hard to suppress his anger. After a while, he started writing some ink.
While he was writing in a hurry, his eyebrows were gnashing and his eyes were filled with a stern look.
After a while, the book was completed.
However, he did not put down his writing and sent a letter to Zheng Pu.
Instead, he took another blank bamboo slip from the side of the case and made another copy of the move against the Wei Dynasty to massacre the city and "give birth to a married woman."
When I was writing, my voice was full of violence, and I said: "I will record a copy of the things that Zijin recorded about the rebellion against the Wei Dynasty that are too numerous to write down. I will sign the document when I get back to inform the scholars and scholars in the palace so that they can understand. What is meant by 'tyranny'?"
Stronger than a tiger!"
Well.
Zheng Pu heard this and said loudly.
The look between his eyebrows is like a smile but not a smile, just like the fox who stole the chicken.
A few days later, there were a lot of discussions in the Prefectural Academy, all of which were angry and against the harsh government of Wei. Zheng Pu, on the other hand, went to the Prime Minister's Palace carrying a book written by Qiao Zhou.
