Chapter 1784 People speak, people hope
A year full of turmoil and worries will eventually pass. It may make some people feel happy, or it may make some people sad, but when facing the New Year, there is often some hope.
It''s like Kong Rong.
Warning is not Kong Rong''s job, but talking is.
On this day, at dusk approaching the new year, Kong Rong invited Wang Can, who had stayed in Xu County, to dinner.
A few days ago, Cao Cao''s classmate spread the news of his battle in Jizhou to Xu County. Without him, it was to show off that Cao Cao himself had won a big battle, and on the other hand, it was of course a peace of mind during the New Year. The role of this means that although Cao Cao himself is not in Xu County, he still cares about it.
Of course, there is also the implied meaning of "Don''t move around, I''ll be right back"...
Speaking of which, Cao Cao''s battle in Jizhou went very smoothly. The main reason is that the three Yuan brothers are too much, which disappointed many nobles in Jizhou, so when Cao Cao came to the city, they were often He half pushed and half agreed, anyway, from a certain point of view, Cao Cao can be regarded as Yuan Shao''s brother.
Don''t the Hu people have the rules of brothers and sisters?
Is it appropriate to put it here with Cao Cao?
As a result, many people had flattering smiles on their faces, and then secretly slandered, laughed, and despised Cao Cao.
After one or two months, Cao Cao has expanded his power to most of the southern Jizhou, and seized the time to erect pontoon bridges on both sides of the river, repair ferries, etc., with the purpose of strengthening the connection between Yanzhou and Jizhou, and at the same time stockpiling troops in key locations. With soldiers and horses, he closely monitored the movements of Heluo and Shangdang''s soldiers and horses all the time.
After Cao Cao took Jizhou, Yuan Tan was basically empty, but there should be no life-threatening for the time being. After all, Cao Cao also needs a cover to cover his hairy mouth. Don''t ask why.
Because of the relationship between Xianbei, Youzhou in the north has not affected Cao Cao''s military operations, and everything seems to be going smoothly...
Dinosaurs, uh, Kong Rong might not be very optimistic about Cao Cao, but after he lost his Prime Minister Beihai and his wife by the way, looking around, it seemed that they were all Cao Cao''s territory, so he had to go to Xu County.
Kong Rong originally thought that he should be reused by Cao Cao, and then there would be some ostracism, and he could spend five big coins for drinking and eating to show off his prestige, but he didn''t expect Cao Cao to ignore him at all, not cold Not hot, not up or down.
The reason is actually very simple. Mr. Cao still knows how to distinguish. If he is a real talent, he will naturally reuse him. However, Mr. Cao said that there are only two words for Kong Rong, hehe.
Of course, this is appearance.
But all people have their strengths and weaknesses, so they can naturally find uses. Even simple-minded people can still move bricks, right? Like Kong Rong, it’s not okay to use it purely as a bachelor?
Therefore, there is another very important reason why Cao Cao didn''t use Kong Rong, but Cao Cao is not easy to publicize the reason above the court, so he has to say that Kong Rong is too ambitious and talented to be reused.
As the twentieth grandson of Confucius, Kong Rong was a great celebrity in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo took power, he successively served as Minister of Beihai and Governor of Qingzhou. Difficult speech ambitions. After arriving in Xu County, I found that the Emperor Han under Cao Cao did not seem to be much better than when he was under Dong Zhuo. Unavoidably, he was a little dissatisfied, and some words were revealed, such as satirizing Cao Cao like Dong Zhuo. , Controlling the court, etc., naturally made Cao Cao hate to death.
At the same time, Kong Rong is also a staunch royalist.
This is not surprising. After all, Confucius respected Zhou and Kong Rong respected Han. The word "orthodoxy" has always been an important part of Confucianism. Therefore, the extended "monarch, minister, father and son" are even more stringent laws...
After drinking for three rounds, Kong Rong said: "My brother Zhongxuan, I don''t know if General Hussars is willing to go east..."
Kong Rong asked very calmly, as if asking whether to eat barbecue or Malatang for dinner today. But being frank doesn''t mean it won''t make people feel weird, just like exhibitionists often frank their balls.
Wang Can felt a little astonished, but after a while, he suddenly realized, so he shook his head slightly and said: "Kong Gong, it''s not because the general refuses, but because he can''t..."
Kong Rong heard the words, took a long breath, and sighed: "The country is in trouble today, but the monarch and his ministers are not united, causing the people to hang upside down, like water and fire, and it really hurts!" 』
Wang Can hey.
The two were silent for a while, and Kong Rong suddenly asked, "If my younger brother is the Hussar General, how will he deploy it?" 』
Wang Can frowned slightly, and said, "What does Duke Kong mean by this?" I''m not a hussar, and I don''t know how to fight, so I really don''t know what to do..."
Kong Rong waved his hands and said, "That''s it, let''s not care about the present... let''s talk about Dong Zhuo''s affairs in the past. If someone had a soldier in his hand at that time, he would protect His Majesty and send troops to defend Dong Zhuo, or order other troops to cross the river east and west to harass him." Later also...」
Kong Rong generously stated that although he doesn’t know much about military affairs, it’s okay to talk about it. Even if it’s hard to say at the moment, it’s okay to attack Dong Zhuo, right? Let''s go back to the time of the year and discuss the situation of the year. This can always be said, right?
Not long after Dong Zhuo had just taken control of the court, the princes from all over the country were also dissatisfied and organized troops to gather in Suanzao, but the last move was still nothing. For Kong Rong, it was a bit puzzling and regrettable. If the princes from all over the country give more power, it will be a different scene.
"The first emperor died, and the power fell into the hands of He Tu, but he didn''t understand the civil affairs, he didn''t know military affairs, so he turned to outsiders, until Dong Zhuo embraced Luoyang..." Talking about the situation back then, Wang Can couldn''t help feeling a little sad, "Poor Majesty ...Hey...the Northern Army of Luoyang was completely wiped out in a short time, with no help from inside and outside, Luoyang was destroyed, and the court was darkened...』
Kong Rong pressed Jiu Jue and nodded.
Although both of them were talking about Dong Zhuo, they were not talking about Dong Zhuo.
"Although Yuan Benchu ??was born among the three princes, he was not loyal. He led the troops outside and could not enter..." Wang Can continued, "Dong Thief burned Luoyang and retreated to Guanzhong. Sad too! So far, Dong Thief is in the audience, Yuan Benchu ??has invaded Hanoi and North Hebei, and Yuan Gonglu has occupied Yuzhou and Yangzhou. If the two Yuans are in harmony, they will suddenly become east and west...』
Standing on the long river of history, when looking down from a high position, it’s a good idea to use it as an afterthought. Now, of course, you can see everything clearly, and you can speak clearly and logically, but when you were in the middle of it, who could see clearly and speak clearly?
『Yuan Shi...』Kong Rong also sighed a little, "First two Yuans were at odds, and then three Yuans turned against each other... Hehe, this is really..."
The Yuan family is so traditional!
Thinking back in those days, the fourth generation and the third father of the Yuan family, how big a family property, what a good form, the popularity of the world, the land is rich, almost no one is fighting, as long as one, the brothers are harmonious...
Wang Can nodded and said: "The so-called brotherly rivalry is just like this. It is the so-called superiority and inferiority... At that time, I heard that there were scholars from Jizhou who advised Yuan Benchu ??to welcome the emperor to Ye, but it didn''t work..."
『It’s a pity...』 Kong Rong sighed, 『If Yuan Benchu ??was loyal to Sheji. With His Majesty in mind, how can there be so many incidents? 』
The two of them coincidentally felt a little embarrassed.
When Heng Ling was alive, although the world could not be said to be very peaceful, it was still a basically unified and relatively stable dynasty, and the power of the central government was obviously stronger than that of the foreign army. After the chaos, the power of the central government was basically exhausted...
『That''s why, the emperor is dusty, and the country is in chaos! 』Kong Rong patted the table case, causing the bean plate on the table case to jump, 『The universe is ruined! Chao Gang is gone! 』
Wang Can was silent.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Kong Rong didn''t know at first that Cao Cao was holding the emperor in his hands as a power. He thought that old classmate Cao and Dong Zhuo should be different, so when he came to Xu County, he somewhat expected Cao Cao to take over the important responsibility of assisting the emperor. , to help the emperor reorganize the Han Dynasty and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. It was a pity at the time that Kong Rong did not fully understand until the Dong Cheng incident broke out. In fact, in some respects, there is not much difference between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo.
Kong Rong thought that Wang Can represented the Hussar General, and the Hussar General also wanted to defend the Han Dynasty, so he sent Wang Can to Xu County. During the conversation, he also heard that the Hussar General was not a staunch royalist. Pai might be better than Cao Cao, but to what extent, Wang Can is not sure.
Obviously, General Hussars took advantage of the chaos in Shandong, and then held back his energy to develop in Guanzhong. This is obviously a better move, and it is even more in line with the needs of the entire Shanxi political group. Since Emperor Guangwu, Shandong has been suppressing Shanxi, and now that the Shanxi Group has managed to get up, how could it come rushing over to kneel and lick at the foot of Shandong again?
So, naturally, General Hussars showed this contradictory, somewhat ambiguous, and vague attitude, which is a kind of necessity, and both of them can generally understand...
But it is still the old saying, understanding is understanding, support is support.
The most important thing is that although General Hussars has behaved so far as respecting the king and being loyal, people will change after all. What if General Hussars can''t think about it one day, or think about it?
『In the past, the former Qin Dynasty was in Guanzhong, closed the Han Valley and rejected Shandong...'' Kong Rong sighed in a low voice, ''Now the hussars have conquered Hanzhong, and they also include Sichuan and Shu, which is almost like this...』
The place in Guanzhong is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the Hu people who were supposed to be a big problem with public security are now almost driven out and naturalized. Tie, the southern Huns were basically internalized, and the Xianbei in the north had no time to look south, almost in a relatively safe and stable environment.
At the same time, the same is true in strategy. The Qin Dynasty, Zhao and Wei are constantly fighting, mainly for the Shangdang area, because whoever controls the Shangdang will take the initiative to attack from the flank. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty finally took the Hedong after many large-scale battles, and then occupied the Shangdang. Guguan...
The only disadvantage compared with the former Qin Dynasty is that the time is shorter.
After all, the Qin Dynasty also experienced the continuous efforts and accumulation of several generations of Qin kings, and it took only two or three years for General Hussars to enter the pass.
Kong Rong chanted long and loudly: "The country is so troubled, the voices of sorrow are spreading, and the courtiers are so dirty that they leave each other!" In the past, Duke Zhou was able to save the universe, but who is he now to open up peace! 』
Wang Can was silent for a long time when he heard the words, then got up and bowed to Kong Rong, saying, "When you see Duke Kong today, you should know that Zhongni is not dead!" 』
Kong Rong straightened his clothes in a hurry, returned the gift to Wang Can, and said, "Brother Zhongxuan is absurd! Today I can see my virtuous brother and bring him back to life with his face! 』
(author''s note)
…(._.)_(._.)…
『Is Zhongni not dead? Yan Hui revived? 』
Wang Can''s every move in Xu County is naturally worrying, especially Xun Yu, so the words of Wang Can and Kong Rong were quickly sorted out, and then delivered to Xun Yu''s desk.
Strictly speaking, these two sentences seem to have some problems, but it is precisely because of the problems that they are more intriguing.
Admiring Kong Rong''s "Zhongni Immortality" seems to sound good, but because Kong Rong is the official descendant of Kong Zhongni and has a place in the genealogy, this sentence is a bit weird. As if we don''t say "you''re like your ancestors didn''t die"...
And "Yan Hui Rejuvenation" also has problems. Kong Rong called Wang Can a virtuous brother, and the two of them had no relationship between master and apprentice, at most they were friends, but when a friend boasted that he was like an immortal ancestor, he responded that you were like my ancestor''s apprentice...
This generation is a generation behind...
If it was someone else, it might be a joke, or it might have slipped up and didn’t notice, but for Kong Rong and Wang Can, it was obvious that they didn’t mean to say that, or they said it wrong.
『Feng Xiao, what do you think? Xun Yu asked Guo Jiadao.
Guo Jia laughed twice, and said: "It''s not what I think, but you...nor, it''s what the lord thinks..."
Xun Yu was silent and did not speak for a long time.
『Zhong Ni, Yan Hui...』 Guo Jia shook his sleeves, 『They are all old people...don’t try to hide it, just report what you should...』
Xun Yu still didn''t speak.
Guo Jia frowned, and said, "The two of them are Kong Zhongni and Yan Ziyuan, but you have nothing to do with them. Don''t think of yourself as Ran Boniu... Do you really think that Ran Boniu will succeed?" Even if you don''t report this matter, someone will. Do you believe it? 』
Xun Yu threw aside the record of Kong Rong and Wang Can''s remarks, and sighed long, his voice was not loud, but he was a little firm: "It''s just bragging to each other, it''s not worth mentioning..."
"you! "Guo Jia was a little anxious, but finally sighed, "You can think about it..."
Xun Yu lowered his eyebrows, "I only said these two sentences to brag about each other, it''s disgusting..."
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and said: "Maybe this is fine, but in case... forget it, it''s up to you..."
In fact, these two sentences were said by Kong Rong and Mi Heng...
The author Jun thought it was very good, so he used it to press on Wang Can. After all, to a certain extent, Wang Can and Mi Heng at that time also had similarities...
Of course, the two people said these two sentences not to flatter each other. The reason is very simple, because when they said these two sentences, they already had a certain reputation, even higher reputation than ordinary people, and they were no longer It is necessary to use this seemingly vulgar method to flatter each other, but to express another meaning...
It’s homework, let’s invite readers to come on stage...
