Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2139 Build a bridge

Perhaps it is because humans have known the importance of experience since ancient times, so stupid people always want to be close to wise men. This situation may not be obvious in the era of information explosion in later generations, but at this time point of the big man Even if you can write your own name, you are proud enough, let alone a strategic talent like Guo Jia.

  The most fundamental reason why Cao Cao desperately wanted to exchange Guo Jia back, even at the expense of a large population of Jingzhou, was to regain Guo Jia's wisdom.

Ordinary people, especially farmers who face the loess and their backs to the sky, do not have much demand for wisdom. They only want to eat a full meal after a day of work, and then sleep well to prepare for the next day. labor. If there is still some extra energy, it is often put on the things in front of me, and there is very little thinking about the future.

But Cao Cao is different. When he was young, he thought about the whole world and was even willing to take specific actions. Therefore, Cao Cao desperately hoped that he could get more information, especially during the period when Guo Jia was in Guanzhong. The information obtained can be used to judge the gap between Cao Cao himself and Fei Qian...

  This world, in fact, has different shapes in different people's concepts. It’s like Cao Cao and others think that the world is a flat land, there must be an end, and mountains and seas block it, that’s all, but Fei Qian is saying that the mountain is the sea, and the sea is the mountain, it seems to be endless...

  Zhang Qian left Guanzhong Sanfu and then arrived at the "distant" Da Yuezhi. In the concept of quite a few Han people, it was like reaching the end of the world, and there was no way to go. But for Fei Qian, Zhang Qian is really great, but he only went to Central Asia once, and the journey was only half way.

   Such a cognitive gap is naturally a shock to Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others.

   At the same time, with suspicion.

  『Bring the wine! As soon as Guo Jia sat down, he gave orders unceremoniously, just like the servants in Pang Tong's family are like his own subordinates.

  Pang Tong squeezed his chin and nodded to his servants.

  『Drink first! Drink first! If you are full of wine and food, everything is easy to talk about! 』Guo Jia smiled, clapped his hands and said, as if he was about to eat and drink recklessly.

  『Do you want to excite me with filial piety? ’ Pang Tong smiled, his slender and long beard trembling. 』

  Guo Jia laughed loudly, "The style of celebrities? Haha, is it edible? Is it drinkable? Hahaha...Yesterday I heard that Pang Lingjun wanted to entertain Yu X, and X X just endured a day and a night without eating! Now it is already hungry, and the thunder continues! 』

  Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and waved to the servants to serve the food and wine quickly.

Pang Tong is currently in a high position, and the things used in his home are naturally not ordinary items, whether it is curtains, window screens, tables, brocade couches, palace lanterns, incense burners, or general lacquerware, they are all very sophisticated, so Guo Jia waited for the wine and meat. When it was served, I turned my head to look left and right, and praised it.

  『These are all thanks to the hussars...』 Pang Tong looked at Guo Jia and said, 『What do you think of Feng Xiao? If there is something you like, just get it! 』

  Guo Jia laughed loudly, but didn't answer, and then just buried himself in eating the giblets served by the servants.

Pang Tong saw that Guo Jia had cleared away a plate of gills in a blink of an eye, couldn't help but smiled, and then signaled his servants to hand Guo Jia a small earthen pot of stewed carrots, "Gills are greasy, you can eat gourds , relieve aversion. 』

  Guo Jia pushed the small earthen pot away, and said with a smile: "I also heard that Pang Lingjun also likes to eat meat, and he is fat, but now the banquet is harsher than that?" 』

  Pang Tong laughed loudly, and asked his servants to simply bring up the cauldron that stewed the stewed meat.

  Guo Jia applauded and laughed loudly, "This time I'm going to have a feast!" 』

  Pang Tong looked at Guo Jia eating meat, and couldn't help moving his throat, but he picked up a carrot in his hand and started to chew, "There are so many gills, when can't they be eaten?" Only this kind of gourd, Xijing Fangmei, is self-explanatory and noble...』

  Guo Jia, who was biting meat in his mouth, moved his cheeks and said vaguely, "I would rather eat meat!" When a certain person was young, his parents died early, and his family was struggling. Only Wen Ruo took care of him, so he could get some minced meat...so a certain person made a resolution to eat more of it until he died of old age! 』

  Pang Tong sighed, raised his wine glass, "You can serve as a filial piety..."

   Guo Jia understands what Pang Tong means, and Pang Tong also understands what Guo Jia means.

"Yiyin's Shangtang, Lu Wangzhi's King of Zhou, the monarch and his ministers are united, they can achieve everything, and they can do everything..." Pang Tong said slowly, "Today, the general trades the people of Jingzhou for filial piety and freedom, which is a good thing... 』

  Guo Jia was biting a piece of meat, when he heard this, he fell down and looked up at Pang Tong.

  『It’s just poor Gongda…』 Pang Tong shook his head and sighed, 『The price of five skins, who can get the best? And Mancheng, if he knows about this, he doesn't know what to think...』

  Guo Jia was a little embarrassed for a while, and said after a while, "The above does not change the nature, and the below does not seize the human relations, then the heaven and the earth are in harmony, this is the kingly way." The hussars are magnanimous, and Jiaming feels five things...』

  Pang Tong just smiled, and did not continue to sneer, but signaled Guo Jia to continue to enjoy the wine and meat, but even if Guo Jia was eating wine and meat, he seemed a little worried about gains and losses...

Although he said he had received the order from General Hussars, Pang Tong still wanted to work harder, but it was obvious that Guo Jia was not willing to stay, so Pang Tong stopped persuading him after he arrived, and regarded it as a practice banquet for Guo Jia Here we go.

  The main thing is that Fei Qian's letter clearly stated that releasing Guo Jia back was on the one hand Cao Cao's strong request, and on the other hand Fei Qian also had this intention long ago.

  There are many ideas and practices. Cao Cao can’t come to Xijing, and he can’t get in touch with them, and he can’t see the actual changes, but Guo Jia can. Therefore, in Fei Qian's strategy, Guo Jia is like a bridge, which reconnects the things that were originally separated from the big man, but to what extent this bridge can be erected depends on subsequent changes...

  …(*–-)…

  When a person is old, it is a parabola, and the closer to the end, the harder the fall. In other words, how fast you grow when you are young, and how fast you age when you are old, when you see children look different every day, those old people who are getting older are also the same every day.

  Pound Duke is like this.

In Fei Qian's impression, Mr. Pang De is still a cheerful old man who loves drinking tea and looking at mountains and rivers, but what he sees now, he is already very old, as if he is dying, his cheeks are shriveled, and even the eyes that were originally full of wisdom, It also looks muddy now.

  『Master...』 Fei Qian couldn't help feeling a little sad, and lowered his head.

  Mr. Pang De opened his mouth, laughed, and waved his hand, signaling Fei Qian to sit down. Lord Pang De’s teeth basically fell out, leaving a few sporadic teeth to fill the scene...

   These days, Zhenxin doesn't even have the simplest braces or any kind of false teeth. It seems that at the age of Mr. Pang De, he can only eat mush every day, or he can only swallow it whole.

   This point, even the emperor cannot avoid it...

   Besides, Mr. Pang De’s original living habits were not very good. He slept when he was full and didn’t brush his teeth. He also liked to sit in the mountain pavilion and watch the waterfall. Just like those beauty-loving people in later generations who don't wear long johns and show their knees and calves in winter, they are often plagued by rheumatism when they are old.

Mr. Pang De’s rheumatism is also very severe. Some redness and swelling are visible to the naked eye at the joints, and some pain can be seen on Mr. Pound’s face when he moves. But the problem is that even in later generations, rheumatism is still an incurable disease. , let alone the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that even Hua Tuo has not carried out research in this area...

  『How about Shi Yuanjin? ’ Duke Pound asked with a grin.

"It's all good, I just like to be quiet and not to move," Fei Qian replied respectfully, "A few days ago, a certain person dragged Shi Yuan to climb a mountain..." Then Fei Qian said something about Pang Tong, which amused him. Lord Pound laughed out loud, making Fei Qian a little worried that the teeth in Lord Pound's mouth would suddenly fall out.

"Among the students I have taught, you are the most talented..." Pang Degong smiled, then looked at Fei Qian and said, "However, a sage and a gentleman can understand the source of prosperity and decline, understand the root of success and failure, judge the opportunity of chaos, and know how to overcome it." . Even if you are poor, you will not be in the position of subjugation; Those who hide their name and embrace the Tao will move from time to time, and they will be in the position of a minister; if their virtue is in line with themselves, they will make unique achievements. Therefore, his way is high, and his name is famous in later generations...』

  Pang Degong is still like a traditional Chinese teacher. Even if he sees the achievements of his disciples, he will still remind and advise Fei Qian to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

   Fei Qian nodded one by one in response.

When I was young, I often felt irritable and even a little disgusted when I heard the great principles, but as I grew older, I realized that if these principles can be understood earlier and put into practical use, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of the whole life. After receiving great help, I suddenly realized that I was bored when I was young. It was not because I didn’t know the benefits of these great principles, but because I didn’t know how to do it and how to use it...

  Pound Lord is undoubtedly ahead of many people in this respect.

Fei Qian still remembers how Pang Degong guided himself to think and explore when he was under the deer mountain, instead of just instilling them blindly and then leaving them alone. Each model of education has its pros and cons.

The large-scale force-feeding education that Fei Qian is currently promoting in the army and among the common people is actually like a turning point for later generations. These two education models that originally did not exist in the same space are colliding in the current big man. Together, even Fei Qian didn't know whether there would be some chemical changes in the future.

"Your way..." Duke Pang suddenly felt a little emotional, "When I first heard about it in the past, to be honest, I thought it was a bit ambitious... Now I never thought that you would actually practice it, and the effect is remarkable... It really comforts me... I am very comforted. ...It's just that this way is still difficult...Don't be careless! 』

   Fei Qian bowed his hands and replied: "Wei, disciples should respect the teachings of their masters." 』

  Pound Lord is old after all, although talking with Fei Qian is quite pleasant, but after a long time, he can't support his spirit, and then he becomes more or less sluggish.

   "One more thing..." Fei Qian hesitated suddenly. He originally thought that Lord Pang De's health should be fine, so the plan was to go to Guanzhong with Huang Chengyan, but now it seems that there are some problems.

Many old people like a more stable and stable living environment. It is not because these old people don’t want to see some great rivers and mountains or visit some beautiful scenery. At hand, the body damage caused by the hard work in youth will show up in old age, and even lead to inconvenient movement. Under such conditions, how can it be possible to have the thought of playing?

This is the case with Mr. Pang De. Right now, Mr. Pang De is aging and has joint problems. He may have other illnesses. Although this journey from Wancheng to Guanzhong is nothing to young and middle-aged people such as Fei Qian, it is nothing to old people like Mr. Pang De. For example, if there is something unaccustomed to catch a cold and have a fever, it may even lead to death!

   But the problem is that it is not very appropriate to keep Mr. Pang De in Wancheng. Opportunities like the present are almost impossible, which means that Fei Qian will not come to Wancheng again for a long time in the future, and there is no guarantee of safety along the way. The more inconvenient to migrate.

Pang Degong looked at Fei Qian with some cloudy eyes, and then smiled, "Ziyuan doesn't need to worry too much... This old man was born in Jingxiang, and then grew old in Xianshan... This is nothing better... Cheng Yan can go to Guanzhong, this is what he should do." The meaning... However, old age is already bad for walking. If you migrate long distances, you may be fatal! It's better to be here, my life is very beautiful! 』

  『Let’s go! and go! Don't worry about old age! ”Pang Degong began to drive away Fei Qian, “Ziyuan needs to know that those who explain themselves and teach others are rebellious, and those who correct themselves and transform others are obedient. Those who are rebellious are difficult to follow, those who follow are easy to follow, those who are difficult to follow will lead to chaos, and those who are easy to follow will lead to reason. So, yes! go! go! 』

   After finishing speaking, Mr. Pound closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and ignored Fei Qian.

  Fei Qian was helpless, and finally fell silent for a moment, then stepped forward to kowtow to Lord Pang De before bowing out.

  The place where Mr. Pang De lives has an elegant natural environment. In spring and summer, you can hear frogs in the pond and Zen in the pine forest, and you can see red flowers and green grass, but now in late autumn, you can only see yellow and red fallen leaves.

   Fei Qian walked out, and then sighed slightly.

  Given Pang Degong's current reputation, he is naturally basically the commanding height among the great Confucians among the disciples of scholars. If he can really go to Chang'an, it will definitely be of great help to Fei Qian's next step in integrating Confucianism. On some occasions, if Mr. Pang De can say a word, it is more effective than Fei Qian saying a hundred words.

Unfortunately…

  But thinking about the current physical condition of Lord Pang De, it is indeed not suitable for long-distance travel.

   In desperation, Fei Qian could only give up the original plan...

  In addition, Fei Qian wrote a warrant and sent Hua Tuo, a physician from the Hundred Medical Center in Zhuyang, to come to Wancheng to give Lord Pound a diagnosis and treatment, which might relieve some of the pain that Lord Pang De is currently enduring.

Fei Qian's own left shoulder was also affected by rheumatism during his long-term military life. When the weather changes, his left shoulder will be sore and painful. If Hua Tuo can develop an acupuncture method for rheumatism, on the one hand It can alleviate Lord Pang De's pain, and on the other hand, it may also heal Fei Qian himself in the future.

  Pang Shanmin came over, cupped his hands and said: "General, the banquet is ready..."

  Pang Shanmin suffered some injuries after this battle, but fortunately they were not serious. There is a great horror between life and death. This sentence is not wrong at all. After life and death, Pang Shanmin has a little more perseverance and a little less weakness, just like the impurities in the steel embryo are hammered out. .

   Feiqian nodded, and then turned to Wancheng school grounds together with Pang Shanmin.

  The campus is spacious and square.

  The surrounding area has been cleaned up long ago, and there are no traces left by the war at all. The roads and stone slabs have obviously been cleaned, and there is not much dust. The soldiers of the guards are also brightly armored and orderly.

  Since yesterday, Pang Shanmin has been preparing for this banquet. Fei Qian wants to entertain these large and small merchants in Wancheng. In any case, the banquet of the hussars, of course, cannot be done casually. At least cattle and sheep need to be prepared, as well as various vegetables, melons and fruits, etc., and there must also be some drinks. If these things are usually not It's not a problem, but after the battle of Wancheng, it's still a bit difficult to get ready.

  Fortunately, Wancheng originally had a very rich business industry, and the time of being besieged this time is not too long. Although there is a shortage of supplies compared to before, there are still some...

   After all, it is what the hussars need, and unless there are really no merchants in the city, they will be allocated some.

  In the school grounds, most of the merchants who were invited had already arrived early and were sitting in the school grounds, either greeting acquaintances, or gathering in twos and threes to chat. In a trance, it seems that the despair of being surrounded during the Battle of Wancheng has disappeared, and now it is raining and the sky is clear, and the wind is light and the clouds are calm.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the limitation of the variety and quality of food, to a certain extent, the banquet was more functional, that is, the way of communicating with each other and observing people's livelihood. Talking about some things in the banquet may be from the A habit formed when.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the Chinese people's level of understanding and utilization of animals and plants in nature, both in terms of food varieties and the overall quantity, far exceeded that of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, so the banquet really had a dual nature, and even It's more about entertainment.

   On the sidelines of the school field, there are musicians who originally belonged to the army, but now they are also called to play some folk songs in a soothing way, which adds a bit of cheerfulness.

  『General Hussars invited us to a banquet, but why? 』

  『How can I know this... little brother? Could it be that brother Zhao knows the secret? 』

"Hey! Brother Yu, how would you know...」

  『Or want to requisition goods? 』

  『No way... Hussars have always had a good reputation, there has never been such a thing...』

  『But in case something changes...』

"what? this…"

  Before seeing Fei Qian appearing, most of the merchants present were in a state of anxiety and anxiety.

   When it was time to light the lamps, when the bonfire and the lights were shining together, a group of soldiers came slowly, and immediately made the merchants in the school grounds sit down and wait quietly.

   It's not that Hushi Feiqian wants to put on airs, but it's a necessary pattern.

  As the merchants waited with bated breath, at the gate of the school grounds, the figure of a hussar finally appeared...
