Chapter 3424 Questions and Answers


    The lights are dim.


    The food is cold before people leave.


    When people leave, the tea gets cooler.


    Cui Yan sat in the car and staggered back to his residence.


    Today''s meeting with Xun Yu and what Xun Yu said made Cui Yan full of doubts.


    Could it be that I misunderstood Boss Cao before?


    After returning home, Cui Qin came up to say hello, and helped Cui Yan take off his outer robe and put on casual clothes.


    Cui Yan nodded and motioned for Cui Qin to sit down.


    Cui Yan''s child died young. Cui Qin was the orphan of his friend and was adopted by Cui Yan as his own child.


    After the servant went down and Cui Yan drank some syrup, Cui Yan slowly said, "What do you think, Prime Minister Cao, how are you doing now?" 』


    Cui Qin is not very old, but in an environment like the Han Dynasty, teenagers can already be regarded as adults, and Cui Qin is more or less the "proton" left by the Cui family in Xu County. On weekdays, Food and clothing are provided by the government. It is said that you are "entering school" in Xu County, but is it actually...


    Perhaps this is the earliest "happy education", anyway, everyone who knows it understands it.


    So Cui Qin made a lot of progress in the study of serious poetry, books and scriptures, but he may have some different perspectives and opinions on interpersonal relationships and political situations.


    Cui Yan asked Cui Qin to stay and asked, also to learn something about the situation in Yingchuan, Yuzhou and Xu Xianzhong from Cui Qin.


    The war between east and west is obviously a hot topic in current affairs.


    If Cui Qin says that he doesn''t know anything, doesn''t know, or doesn''t understand, it''s not impossible, but he may never be able to become a leader among the Cui family in the future, and will only become a dung-making machine and a breeder.


    Gentlemen, especially aristocratic families, not only train the next generation, but even directly train three generations if possible. But generally speaking, after a break, the risk will be very high, so it is best to have the next generation of leaders as much as possible.


    Cui Yan asked Cui Qin, which was a kind of test.


    After the Battle of Hedong, Cao Cao basically stopped attacking and entered a state of retreat and retreat.


    Shandong''s main losses this time were mainly in personnel and property.


    An absolute heavy loss!


    Everyone knows this, and it is something that can be easily measured.


    But the question is, how much of the loss is "real"?


    Just like listed companies in later capitalist countries, they always have two books of accounts. One is used to deal with tax agencies and is published for investors to see, while the other is for the bosses to see...


    What about the harvest?


    Although Cao Jun never announced any gains to the outside world...


    Well, it’s not completely absent. For example, when Heluo was captured, it was announced once. But Boss Cao said that all harvests will be put into the reproduction process and no dividends will be distributed.


    Is there any problem with this?


    It''s obviously not a problem.


    But now the problem is coming. Boss Cao has lost the battle and the investment has failed!


    Then, who is losing money?


    It is said that Boss Cao committed fraud and harmed the major shareholders, but Boss Cao''s relatives were also arrested, injured and died, so can we say that Boss Cao did not try his best? Boss Cao also suffered a loss!


    Therefore, the question Cui Yan asked seems simple, but is actually very complicated.


    Cui Qin thought for a moment and said: "Prime Minister Cao''s march into Guanzhong is indeed a must to attack the enemy. However, Tongguan is strong, so he has to move to Hedong... However, the defeat in Hedong is indeed a bit strange... The child is in Xu County and hears about the market. According to rumors, it is..."


    Cui Yan waved his hand and said, "No need to worry, just say what you have to say." 』


    "only. Cui Qin responded, "I heard that Prime Minister Cao has made peace with General Hussar!" 』


    Hearing this, Cui Yan smiled slightly at first, but was stunned after a moment.


    If the rumors are false, then of course they should be laughed at.


    But the question is, what if it’s not fake, or not completely fake?


    This suddenly made people embarrassed...


    So when Xun Yu asked him to drink, he was vaguely using it as a drunken joke?


    Cui Qin couldn''t help but feel a little uneasy when he saw the change of expression on Cui Yan''s face. He wondered if he had said something wrong? But thinking about it carefully, there seems to be no problem.


    Cui Yan''s headache became more and more severe.


    He simply didn''t believe what Xun Yu said about "Shandong being one body", "sharing weal and woe", and what Xun Yu said about "one hundred thousand talents and one hundred thousand blood" and so on...


    He only believes in himself and his family''s interests.


    So Cui Yan''s original plan was to first gain a wave of profits from Cao Cao Xun Yu and get a higher official position. When the Hussar really took over the Central Plains, he would immediately prostrate himself under Fei Qian''s skirt, and then he could It''s like stepping on the left foot with the right foot, moving from the left pocket to the right pocket, achieving a spiral upward on the spot, and successfully changing careers three times.


    Cui Yan glanced at Cui Qin and saw that he was a little panicked, so he asked again: "Did you get anything from your promise?" 』


    This does not mean that Cui Yan does not know what Cui Qin did in Xu County, or that he does not know that Cui Qin is eating, drinking, playing and visiting brothels. After all, this is the role of protons to reassure the ruler. If the father is very strong and holds great power, money and manpower, and if the children are also very capable, then it cannot be solved by a small goal. It is impossible for the ruler to do it while the fathers are still alive. Take action!


    So Cui Qin can behave stupidly, be playful, or even do nothing, spend all day drinking and playing with women, all of which are in line with the needs of the ruler, and he will even encourage and assist, but once he says that he wants to be under the ruler''s nose If you want to start some business, make it bigger and stronger, then hehehe...


    But the question is what Cui Yan wants, not what''s on the surface, but whether Cui Qin can develop in secret while maintaining the superficial lustfulness. Visiting a brothel is not a big deal, but if you really lose your mind with things, then There was no hope.


    There was a slight sweat on Cui Qin''s head.


    His biological father died at an early age, and it was Cui Yan who raised him. Although he changed his surname, Cui Qin knew that his original surname was not Cui, and the most important point was that Cui Qin was indeed not very capable.


    Most people with weak abilities have a common problem, which is poor self-control.


    Thinking that today’s wine will make you drunk, but the unfinished homework today can be left to tomorrow, so the more you put it off, the more you will naturally pull it off. In the end, you will simply break the jar and treat it as if it does not exist.


    But can it really cease to exist?


    When Cui Yan asked Cui Yan what he had done in Xu County during this period and what he had gained, Cui Qin''s heart was pounding, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was hesitating and confused.


    Seeing Cui Qin like this, Cui Yan also lost the desire to continue talking. He waved his hand to indicate that he was tired and asked Cui Qin to rest.


    Cui Qin was granted amnesty and hurriedly left. He also pretended to ask Cui Yan to take care of his body and come back to see An Yunyun tomorrow morning.


    Cui Yan nodded calmly.


    This son is useless.


    Fortunately, I adopted one in Jizhou.


    Cui Qin was asked to leave, but Cui Yan still sat there, frowning in thought, and did not really go to rest. Cui Yan couldn''t understand what Xun Yu meant. Cui Yan couldn''t sleep or eat well. It was impossible to say that he had to wait until tomorrow, even if it was even an hour later, he felt it was too late!


    What exactly is it?


    Why exactly?


    etc!


    Cui Yan watched the light of the lantern held by Cui Qin disappear in the corridor, and suddenly his heart moved!


    What a Xun Yu!


    He fell into a trap!


    Everything is actually on the surface, but Cui Yan went too far to investigate the hidden meaning behind it, but forgot the most fundamental thing!


    Just like Cui Qin.


    Protons are also on the surface...


    But whoever forgets the fundamentals is doomed.


    What is the root of Cui Yan?


    Not official positions, nor left foot and right foot, left pocket and right pocket, but Jizhou!


    This is to sway the tiger away from the mountain!


    Xun Yu…


    No, Cao Cao is going to take action in Jizhou!


    The threat to Youzhou is right in front of you, the threat is just around the corner, so what’s the problem with implementing war control?


    No, no, no, I won’t kill someone directly. Even Cui Yan''s son would not do such a vulgar move. He only needs to use the art of war...


    Why!


    There are so many excuses!


    And Cui Yan believes that there will be... no, there must be many people in Jizhou who have the same idea as Cui Yan himself and want to take this opportunity to hook up with Qiaoqi!


    It’s over!


    what to do?


    Are you going back immediately?


    Cui Yan took a long breath.


    No, there must be spies around his house now!


    You must think of a way.


    Cui Yan thought about it, and then thought of Cui Qin.


    Since it is waste, it should be reused.


    Since he obtained His Majesty''s official position, Cui Qin may have felt that his wings have become stronger and he no longer has to listen to Cui Yan''s words...


    The last time Cui Yan solemnly told Cui Qin to "take care of himself", it was obvious that Cui Qin didn''t listen at all.


    Then I''m sorry.


    If you want to blame, just blame this troubled world. In a world of peace, even a dog can be cared for by many loving, widowed and lonely dog ??lovers who are stingy with charity. And in a troubled world, what qualifications do people have to enjoy only without giving?


    Cui Yan''s eyes became cold, like cold stars in the sky. They seemed to have light but no warmth.


    …


    …


    Xu County, Imperial Palace.


    "Your Majesty..." Huangmen **** bowed to the side and said, "It''s late at night, your Majesty, please rest early..."


    Classmate Xiao Liu did not raise his head, nor did he pay attention to Huangmen eunuch''s persuasion.


    Damn it, this world is beyond my control. Now I can’t even control when I sleep?


    Most people have this rebellious mentality that occasionally arises in their hearts.


    Or call it revenge, that''s fine.


    Just like in later capitalist countries, many capitalists do not regard their employees as human beings, let alone the masters of any country. They just regard their employees as organisms lower than cows and horses. They can''t wait to start occupying these workers from five or six in the morning. The labor force of organisms that are lower than cows and horses requires them to work to create value, and there are many harsh regulations that strictly restrict and deprive them of free rest time, no matter if it is more than eight hours.


    Under such circumstances, after finally getting out of the squeeze field, they will subconsciously play with their mobile phones in retaliation, trying to prove that they still have a certain degree of autonomy, but they don''t know that even playing with their mobile phones is Contributing traffic to capitalists...


    The same is true for classmate Xiao Liu.


    He thought that by working hard, he could prove that he could control something.


    However, classmate Xiao Liu was not looking at his phone. He was looking at the huge map that Xun Yu had "presented" to him.


    Liu Xie was fascinated by the mountains, rivers, and counties marked on the map.


    This is his big man!


    This is his country!


    This is Liu''s world!


    Liu Xie stretched out his hand in vain over the map, either grabbing it or pointing it out, enjoying it with relish.


    "The Nine Tripods and Thirteen States in the World..."


    Liu Xie pointed, as if he had transformed into a god, looking down at the earth, thousands of miles away in an instant.


    As he watched, Liu Xie''s brows suddenly wrinkled.


    The Huangmen **** on the side thought that the lights were flickering and dimmed, making Liu Xie unable to see clearly, so he quickly scolded the young eunuchs to brighten some lights, cut and pull out the oil wicks...


    But Liu Xie''s frown was not due to the light or darkness.


    But he suddenly discovered a problem.


    "Come, go..." Liu Xie paused for a moment, but finally said, "Get the map of the countries in the Western Regions presented by the hussar!" 』


    The Huangmen **** responded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Xie stopped him again.


    "etc! ” Liu Xie paused for another moment. He raised his head and didn’t know what to think about. His voice became a little deeper. “Also... there is a wooden box on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf in the back of my study. I also brought it here... 』


    The **** of Huangmen responded and quickly followed Liu Xie''s instructions. After a while, he fetched all the utensils and placed them in front of Liu Xie.


    Liu Xie first unfolded the "Map of the Countries in the Western Regions" and then looked at the lower right corner of the map of the Western Regions instead of looking at the countries in the Western Regions...


    Over there are Yumen, Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye...


    Those places that once represented the glory of the Han Dynasty now left Liu Xie with mixed feelings. Therefore, Liu Xie was unwilling to take a closer look before and just put them away after a quick glance. Now after seeing Xun Yu''s map of the Central Plains, Liu Xie noticed the places in the upper left corner of the map, and then thought of this map of the Western Regions.


    "The Western Regions..." Liu Xie looked around, then frowned and asked, "The Western Regions...compared to the Central Plains, who is bigger and who is smaller?" Um? 』


    The Huangmen **** shrank his head.


    Liu Xie asked without naming him, so the Huangmen **** pretended that Liu Xie was talking to himself and did not bother him.


    "Of course it''s the Central Plains..." Liu Xie really didn''t mean to get any answers from the eunuch, "But... it''s just..."


    Liu Xie put down the map of the Western Regions in his hand, and then his eyes stayed on the wooden box.


    There is a lock on the wooden box, but there is no dust on the surface.


    The lock just means that Liu Xie doesn''t want people to read it casually, but it doesn''t mean that others really can''t know.


    Liu Xie took out a small brass key from his sleeve, opened the lock, looked at the contents of the wooden box, and sighed slightly.


    There were no gold or silver treasures in the wooden box, and there were no clever tips. There were just some tattered silks and small debris.


    The Huangmen **** took a quick glance, then lowered his head deeply, wishing that he could shrink into the shadows.


    Liu Xie rummaged around in the wooden box and found an old piece of paper.


    This is the first generation Guanzhong paper, which is already some years old.


    There are more impurities and the paper is rough.


    The traces of ink not only stay on the surface, but also penetrate into the back of the paper along the texture. A small "ji" character can be vaguely seen, as well as an edge with a certain arc.


    "Central Plains...Western Regions..."


    Liu Xie looked at this piece of Guanzhong paper and recalled that Fei Qian seemed to have drawn a map casually with his pen.


    Shouldn''t the Central Plains be the largest and most important place in the Han Dynasty?


    Why in this sketch drawn by Fei Qian, the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty...


    How could the Central Plains be so small?


    Like a little egg.


    He didn''t believe it back then, but he didn''t throw away the map. When I left Chang''an, I didn''t bring many things to Xu County. Most of them were packed in this wooden box.


    It''s like pretending to be a memory from that time.


    Memories he once thought he had forgotten.


    Now Liu Xie remembered that he had kept this sketch all those years ago, just thinking that after he proved Fei Qian wrong in the future, he would put the facts and this map in front of Fei Qian, so that Fei Qian would bow his head and admit his mistake...


    The lights flickered.


    Liu Xie finally let out a long breath and said, "Just take it." 』


    Only then did the Huangmen **** emerge from the shadows and responded.


    "etc. Liu Xie stopped him again, saying, "Tomorrow we will summon the patrolmen to the court to discuss the size of the territory of the Han Dynasty." 』


    The **** of Huangmen responded.


    Liu Xie then left, and another young **** carried a lantern and went to rest.


    The **** of Huangmen led his men to clean up.


    A young **** rolled his eyes and approached the Huangmen eunuch, "Master, what happened to your majesty today?" It wasn’t like this before..."


    "Less talk and more work!" 』


    The Huangmen **** glared and shouted.


    The little **** shrank his neck and lowered his head to work.


    The Huangmen **** glanced at the direction Liu Xie was leaving and thought, why else?


    I’m so confused!


    …


    …


    "He Luo..."


    Also at night, Fei Qian, who made classmate Xiao Liu confused, received the latest battle report from the front line.


    Sima Yi, Xu Chu and others planned a military operation, and when they reported to Fei Qian, they had already launched a strategy.


    That''s right, frontline generals can adopt proactive small strategies as long as the big goal remains unchanged.


    This is a behavior that Fei Qian has always approved of, and will not consider it as an overstep by the general.


    After Fei Qian tried to reverse the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he liked the remote control of the rear and micro-manipulation of the shortcomings of frontline combat.


    Frontline combat is ever-changing, and fighter opportunities may disappear in an instant. If you wait for approval from the rear for everything, or if you always fight with the same tips and tricks as when you go into battle, you will most likely die...


    During the Song and Ming dynasties, the civil servants in the DPRK and China did not know how to fight, and they were greedy for military success, so they gave many so-called "suggestions" and "strategies" to the frontline military commanders in principle and in principle, including but not limited to formation diagrams.


    Therefore, generally speaking, Fei Qian will not interfere with the operations of frontline generals. In many cases, frontline generals only need to report and make sure that it does not violate the general direction set by Fei Qian before they can execute it first and seize the opportunity to fight.


    This effect is naturally good.


    But there are problems.


    Just like this time''s battle plan, Fei Qian noticed something was wrong...
