Han Dao world

Chapter 398
Zang Hong has imagined the scene of meeting the emperor countless times, and also thought about how to advise the emperor, to persuade the emperor to emphasize morality, not to leave the court and veterans aside, and blindly rely on force, but he never thought that he would be defeated by the emperor as soon as he met. General one army.

He was able to turn against Yuan Shao for the old idea, so naturally he would not dare to avenge his biological father Zang Min.

He asked himself to have such ability.

But he didn't want to be a pure warrior.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Xianbei is just a disease of scabies, and the restlessness in the Guandong is the world's worry. Your Majesty should move to the east of the river, overlook Luoyang, move back to the old capital as soon as possible, and reorganize the government..."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids. "You mean the Yuan brothers?"

Zang Hong choked.The emperor spoke too directly, and he was very uncomfortable.

"I actually think that they are the scabies disease. Although they are not fatal, they always make you uneasy. So I think, instead of scratching the itch, it is better to let them rot to the end and let the world see their true colors."

Liu Xie got on his horse. "Go back to Yanmen and have a look. There are still a few counties left in the former Yanmen County, and then think about whether Xianbei is suffering from mange. Your father was defeated only [-] years ago, and you have forgotten it so completely. To be honest, I was surprised."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xie turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Ma Yunlu also got on the horse and chased after the emperor.Did not say goodbye to Zang Hong, did not even look at him.

With the fish in his hand, Lu Xiaohuan, whose clothes were half wet, was at a loss. While riding his horse to catch up, he asked Ma Yunlu, "Sister, who is this?"

"A self-righteous Kanto native." Ma Yunlu's voice came from a distance and dissipated in the wind.

Zang Hong's face was red.

He really wanted to turn around and leave, anyway, he hadn't received the seal ribbon yet, so he wasn't officially in office.But the emperor's words echoed in his heart, hitting his dignity again and again until his proud belief was smashed to pieces.

After thinking about it, Zang Hong decided to meet Xun You.

When Zang Hong saw Xun You, Xun You was swimming by the river.

Seeing Xun You's naked body, wearing only a cow-nosed coat, waving his arms, chopping the waves in the clear river, Zang Hong's faith finally fell apart and shattered to the ground.

It is true that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.There is no decent person around the emperor, and even Xun You has become so hard to look directly at.

Seeing Zang Hong, Xun You swam back to the shore, and his followers caught up with him, presenting him with a light cloak.

Xun You walked up to Zang Hong, seeing Zang Hong's troubled expression like constipation, he couldn't help laughing. "Ziyuan is new here, so he is not used to the barbarian style in northern Xinjiang, is he?"

"So you know it's a barbarian style?" Zang Hong couldn't help mocking.

"In the future, you will understand that when dealing with barbarians, it is not enough to just sit and talk. If you want to defeat barbarians and educate barbarians, you must have a stronger body than barbarians."

"You mean to convince people with force?"

"Yes, convince people with strength and teach with virtue." Xun You said calmly, "You came at the right time, and the emperor is waiting for you. After seeing you, he will set off westward."

"The Son of Heaven... wait for me?"

"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both generals that the emperor is familiar with. He is very relieved, but he has never met you. I don't know if you are up to the important task of Yanmen prefect, so I want to see you with my own eyes. You have worked hard from afar, rest first Come on, I will find a chance as soon as possible..."

"Gongda, I...I have met the Son of Heaven."

"Have you seen it?" Xun You sized Zang Hong up again, and understood a little bit. "Not going well?"

Zang Hong nodded in embarrassment, and told the story of meeting the emperor.

Xun You pondered for a moment, then said, "What is your plan? Are you accepting the appointment, or do you have other plans?"

Zang Hong heard what Xun You meant. "I do intend, I'm afraid the emperor is not satisfied with me."

Xun You laughed. "It's true that I'm not satisfied, but it's not enough to dismiss you. I always want to give you a chance to prove yourself. Ziyuan, as an old friend, I need to remind you that it's not easy to be the prefect of Yanmen, especially in a field battle with the Xianbei people. Defending the city is not enough."

Zang Hong blushed again, but he couldn't refute.

His father Zang Min is the most direct example.He repeatedly made military exploits in the suppression of the rebellion in Yangzhou, but he suffered a crushing defeat when he arrived on the grassland.

Seeing Zang Hong's hesitation, Xun You persuaded him: "Ziyuan, I know you are not a person who quits in spite of difficulties, try it. There are not many such opportunities, let the world see that Guandong is not only a good place, but also a good place." General, it’s just that virtue is more important than punishment.”

Zang Hong's heart skipped a beat.

Whether you are willing to be a general and whether you can be a general are two different concepts.

Facing the disdain of the Kansai people, the best way is to become a famous general, and a famous general and Confucian general who is tolerant of both culture and martial arts.

What can a scholar like Gao You do besides chewing on words?

-

At Xun You's request, Liu Xie summoned Zang Hong again during lunch.

Cao Ang, the newly recruited Sanqi servant, happened to be on duty, and stood aside, looking at Zang Hong with some uneasiness.

Zang Hong didn't look at Cao Ang from the beginning to the end, pretending that he didn't exist.

"The number of households in Yanmen has increased recently, and barbarians are the majority. Management will be very complicated. Virtue alone is not enough." Liu Xie said while drinking fish soup: "I will not give you specific arrangements, you Think about it, you can use virtue or punishment, I only look at the result. Gongda is the supervisor of the army, you can discuss it. In Kanto and Kansai, there is no need for verbal disputes, let the actual political achievements speak for themselves."

"Wei." Although Zang Hong didn't like the tone of the emperor's words, he still bowed to accept the order.

If you want to express your opinion, you must first have results.He has just arrived and has no actual achievements, and no one cares about him no matter how nicely he speaks.

Xun You has made it very clear that both Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are generals with military exploits.Compared with his record of defending Dongwuyang, the results of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Xianbei's field battles are undoubtedly more convincing.

This is not only his personal gain or loss, but also related to the Kanto people's right to speak in the court.

Even so, Zang Hong's words still stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter them quickly.

"I take the liberty of asking Your Majesty if you want to put "Mencius" alongside the Five Classics?"

Liu Xie licked the fish bone and glanced at Zang Hong. "Your father is a famous general, you must have read military books since childhood?"

"Know a thing or two."

"When guarding Dongwuyang, which sentence in which military book did you fortify?"

"This..." Zang Hong was at a loss for words.

"Governing a country is like using soldiers. You can't stick to the past and talk about soldiers on paper." Liu Xie spat out the fish bones. "In the Spring and Autumn period, chariot warfare was emphasized, while in the Warring States period, chariot and cavalry were equally important. Who else practices chariot warfare now? There are many states in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are only seven heroes left in the Warring States period. If they are unified today, how can they govern the country according to the Five Classics?"

"In your Majesty's opinion, should the Five Classics be abolished?"

"Although chariot warfare is not good, Sun Tzu's idea of ​​using troops is still good. Although the world is unified, the people are the foundation of the country, but it is not easy. If there is a difference, the people mean more." Liu Xie stood up , stomped his feet lightly. "Ziyuan, five hundred years ago, this was still a country of barbarians, but now it is the territory of our great Han. Master travels around the world, the south is not far from Fangcheng, and the west is not far from Hangu. Why do you draw the land as a prison and dare not go beyond the thunder pool? Carry on the past and open up the future, so as not to lose the meaning of the sages."
