Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1867 When you regret it, you will know how to work hard

When Fei Qian was young, when he saw this exploitation and that value, he always felt that he was too far away from him. But in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian clearly saw all kinds of cruel exploitation, and the key is this relationship of exploitation. What the general public agrees with is that there is no need for rich RMs to emphasize 996, and there is no need to say that working overtime is a blessing, and if you don’t work overtime, you will lose money. All the people will automatically and voluntarily work overtime every day, and work more than 16 hours a day , In a social environment like the Han Dynasty, those so-called wealthy capitalists who represent public opinion would laugh out loud in their dreams.

  So, when a person owns capital and is controlled by capital, whether in the Han Dynasty or in later generations, will he voluntarily give up his interests?

   Isn’t there a saying, uh, Comrade Lu Xun, please don’t get excited, sit down first... just don’t use money to test human nature, because human nature often cannot stand such a test...

Some people who were born under the red flag and received the education of the red flag, after holding a lot of capital, can openly speak out the kind of speech that violates the labor law and social morality. Then in the Han Dynasty, these people have already exploited three How could the 400-year-old Shandong gentry family willingly send away Liu Xie, who they regarded as a piece of fat?

If Fei Qian had just asked Xun You to say "Xi Hunting", then Liu Xie might have agreed to it on impulse, and then these Shandong gentry would have immediately regarded Fei Qian as a thorn in their side, wishing that they would immediately drop the Nine Heavens Thunder General on the spot. Fei Qian was ashamed, but now, even the Shandong gentry felt that Fei Qian's tricolor flag seemed cute to some extent.

   For one person or a small group of people, you can talk about morality, but for a large enough group, you can only talk about rules. The gentry is a very interesting group. When they need to talk about morality, these guys start to talk about rules, and when they need to talk about rules, they start to talk about morality. The key is that these rules and morals can change shape as they like, and adapt to them needs at different stages.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zuo Qiuming of the State of Lu "Zuo Zhuan Zhaogong Seven Years": "Therefore, the "Poetry" says: "Under the sky, is there any king's land; on the shore of the land, is there any king's minister." Sima Xiangru of the Han Dynasty was also there. It is written in "Nanshu Fathers and Elders": "Under the sky, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers." 』

   This is the morality and rules recognized by the Han Dynasty, or the current feudal dynasty. Then, the gentry said that it was the "king"'s land, and secretly put it in their pockets desperately, tried their best not to pay or pay less taxes, embezzled the "king"'s population, and then controlled it in their own hands. If they are not satisfied, they use these populations and lands to threaten them. Even if the "king" can get rid of one or two gentry, some gentry will still die one after another.

   The benefits are so great that even a saint can't control his hand.

So, since yesterday, people have been nagging in Liu Xie's ear. The purpose is to ensure that Liu Xie is still within their reach, because no matter which capitalist they are, they all hope that the money in their hands The more capital the better, no matter whether the capital is immediately available or not.

  So after Xun You put forward the so-called "moving the capital" proposal, there was no follow-up to this matter. On the contrary, other matters were vigorously promoted and entered the process of substantive and specific operations.

   Like exchanging hostages, uh, captives?

  Anyway, that’s pretty much what it meant. After Cao Cao returned to the city, he sent Li Dian’s family members out of the city without saying a word.

Cao Cao was a bachelor, and said that the defeat was not Li Dian's fault. It was Cao Cao's own inconsideration that caused Li Dian to be captured. People from all corners of the world have gathered in one place for a common goal, but now the goal is different, it’s easy to get together and easy to separate, I don’t mean to blame Li Dian, but I also said that I didn’t give Li Dian a better chance, and I believe in Li Dian’s future Will get better development on the new platform...

Cao@人@妻，Well, the original text of Cao Personnel is of course not this, but the meaning is correct, just like resigning from the company, and then the company will still try to squeeze out the last drop of oil and water, the same is true for Cao Cao, since Li Dian This matter is irreparable, so it is better to make the best use of everything.

  As an equal, Fei Qian also sent someone to send Xia Houchong back.

  However, for Xia Houchong, what he faces may not be like Li Dian.

   Cao Cao said a lot about Li Dian, but when he saw Xia Houchong, he didn't say anything. He just smiled, patted Xia Houchong on the shoulder, and left.

  『Father... my lord father...』 Xia Houchong turned his head tremblingly, and said to Xiahou Dun who stayed behind.

  Xiahou Dun was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Come on, follow me." 』

  After returning to Xiahou's mansion, Xiahoudun first ordered to prepare some food, and then asked Xiahouchong to wash up and change his clothes before coming back, while Xiahoudun himself sat in the lobby, looking at the candlelight in a daze.

  Xiahoudun has not fully recovered from his illness, and even now he is still a little dizzy, but he is quite sober about his son Xiahouchong.

  『Father...』Xia Houchong bowed timidly in the hall.

  Xiahou Dun raised his head, glanced at Xia Houchong, then pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down, are you hungry?" There is nothing prepared at home, so just eat some! 』

  Xiahouchong replied, then sat down, took another sneaky glance at Xiahoudun, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, as quiet and obedient as a quail.

  『What about the hussars? ’ Xiahou Dun asked.

"This... child was imprisoned in the back camp, and there was little time to see him, so..." Xia Houchong replied quickly, and after a few words, he secretly glanced at Xiahou Dun, and then continued, "The hussars and horses are all elite, and the armor is strong , there are so many good fighters, it's really tricky...』

  Xiahoudun waited for a while, seeing that Xiahouchong had just said that, he didn't continue to urge him, but remained silent for a moment, signaling Xiahouchong to eat first, while he brought some thin wine, drinking one glass at a time.

At the beginning, Xia Houchong was still a little apprehensive about Xiahoudun sitting aside, but as he ate, the delicious and juicy stewed meat and the crispy bread fully mobilized Xiahouchong's almost dry appetite and stimulated his appetite. The taste buds that could only eat coarse grains and poor food for many days made Xia Houchong gradually relax, eating with big mouthfuls and drinking the broth in a sloppy manner.

   Not long after, Xia Houchong was full, and then he seemed to recover slightly from his appetite, and secretly wiped his greasy fingers under the table...

Many people have some bad habits, such as picking their nose while lying down on the bed after washing up, and some people like to poke their mouths when they eat, or sniff their toes twice when they eat, or sit down. After getting on the seat, he wanted to kick off his shoes and put his legs on the kang, etc. Xia Houchong's habit is to like to put oil on the underside of the table, and he always thought that no one saw it.

This kind of habit is very strange, but even if I consciously want to correct it, it is very difficult, and it will appear again inadvertently, just like at the moment, Xiahou Dun also asked Xiahou Chong to correct this habit, but sometimes Xiahou Chong changed. But sometimes it reappears.

  Xiahouchong subconsciously wiped his greasy fingers a few times before he suddenly realized that he was in a hurry and secretly glanced at Xiahoudun again, only to find that Xiahoudun didn't seem to be looking at him, so he secretly took a breath.

  『Sikong let Li Mancheng’s family members go...』 Xiahoudun said, as if he was talking to himself, or he was talking to Xiahouchong.

  Xiahouchong didn't know, so he went in. Hearing this, he stared blankly at Xiahoudun for a moment, then lowered his head again.

"Li Mancheng is talented, studious and elegant, respects the virtuous and prudent, and has always been strategic. Now..." Xiahou Dun's eyes were dim, as if he was looking into the distance, and he didn't seem to see anything. He said again, "My lord, what do you think of releasing Mancheng's family?" ? 』

  『This…』I don’t know why, Xia Houchong suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, 『My lord…My lord…magnanimous, this…』

  Xiahou Dun nodded slowly, "That's right, magnanimity... that's because the lord has to be magnanimous!" If not, how can you take it easy? ! According to the law, Li Mancheng lost the city and lost his army, rebelliously seeking to survive! What crime cannot be punished? ! 』

  Unknowingly, Xia Houchong, sweat rolled down his forehead, sipping and refusing to speak.

  『Under the lord, there are foreign surnames, and there are surrendered generals...』 Xiahou Dun said slowly, his voice was not loud, but he paused every word with great force, "Hussars thundered, and people's hearts were shaken. If you don't do this..."

That's right, for Cao Cao, Li Dian's behavior of surrender must be quite displeased. It is already very good not to hold Li Dian's crimes against his family members. What mood? What? Can Li Dian's personal problems involve his family? What a joke, even if there are still many children who owe money in later generations, the creditors will chase after the door and force their parents to repay the debt, let alone in the Han Dynasty.

But Cao Cao still endured it, because Cao Cao also understood that everyone has different positions and sees things from different angles. For Cao Cao, Li Dian's behavior is betrayal, but for Li Dian, or others. For generals with foreign surnames, they don't necessarily think it is betrayal, just like Zhang Xi, Chen Deng, etc., in their hearts, this may be the so-called "choose a good tree to live in"!

   And now, Cao Cao is at the critical moment of reorganizing Jizhou. He can’t show that he is only allowed to be a good tree here, but anyone who wants to go to other places will die to me...

Therefore, Cao Cao could only swell his face, and then generously stated that Li Dian's incident was not considered a betrayal, but just a good "talent exchange" with the hussars. The reason why Cao Cao emphasized Li Dian's previous achievements is that It is nothing more than two meanings. One is to express that Li Dian's contribution over the years and the treatment Cao Cao gave him are offset by each other, and they do not owe each other. It also implicitly expresses that if other people have this idea, they should also consider themselves first. Have you created enough credit for the Cao family to offset...

  Another aspect is to add a little bit of obstruction between Li Dian and the hussars, but it may not be effective.

   Li Dian is like this, but Xia Houchong is different.

Xiahoudun turned his head to look at Xiahouchong, the expression in his eyes changed, which made Xiahouchong a little scared, and he shrank his neck involuntarily, like a chicken locked in a cage. When it is in danger, it wants to fly away. I can't fly, I want to run but I can't.

  『Li Mancheng can be exempted from responsibility if he has meritorious deeds...and ask, what merits do you have? Can there be He Xun? ’ Xiahou Dun said slowly.

   "This..." Xia Houchong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Father... Father..."

  『The lord Chen Liu raised an army and was on the verge of life and death. Zi Lian and Zi Xiao even took the edge and rushed to kill the battlefield. He was hit by knives, guns and arrows. Fang is fortunate to have a foundation now... even the lord's own blood is stained with blood...Xiahou and Cao are originally a family, one is prosperous and the other is damaged..." Xiahou Dun said in a low voice, "Chonger, since you are Xiahou, enjoy this Enshrinement should also share the family's worries... Charge, isn't it? 』

  『Father, my lord father, what you said is very true...』 Xia Houchong was flustered, but he couldn't say anything else.

  Xiahou Dun smiled, somewhat bitter and helpless, nodded and said: "In this case...Chonger, if you have no merits and merits, how can you be exempted from responsibility?" 』

  『But, but...My lord, my lord did not say anything to punish me...' Xia Houchong seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly argued.

  Xiahou Dun nodded, then raised his head and looked up, "This is the face of my lord, Gu Quan Xiahou...but Xiahou must not destroy his family style!" Come on! 』

  The guards who were originally in the hall suddenly walked in and saluted Xiahou Dun.

  Xiahou Dun closed his eyes, "Put this rebellious son...to be tortured!" 』

  Xia Houchong screamed in fright, knocked down the table, and immediately the bean dish and leftover food on the table rolled down, making a mess, "Father!" Baby is wrong! Correction, baby! The child dare not! The child must not dare next time! Father..."

Xiahou Dun shook his head and sighed, "Chonger, you have neither courage nor plan. Even after being trapped in a hussar camp for many days, you don't know what the advantages and disadvantages are... I know that you are not talented. , I originally thought that in the army, I would have some experience, gain knowledge, and accumulate merit... but I never thought of actually harming you... After the execution, it will be convenient for the family, and all the utensils will be used as usual. Quan Dang, Quan Dang, you were born a useless person! Execution! 』

"No! don't want! Father! Father! No! Father..." Xia Houchong yelled sadly, and was picked up by several guards and dragged out of the lobby.

Xiahoudun stood in the hall, closed his eyes for a long time, and seemed to be deaf to Xiahouchong's miserable cry, until he heard the loud scream, his whole body trembled, a little crystal rolled from the corner of his eyes, and hit the ground, blood splattered...
