Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2440 How much difference

  The night was deep.

Although it has entered midsummer, it is still somewhat chilly in the middle of the night. Even the hustle and bustle of the day, it is still unable to resist the slightest chill in the dark night. In other words, this chill comes from the heart, not is on the skin.

  General Hussars, um, Fei Qian, who is about to be promoted to General Hussars, put enormous pressure on the political group on Cao Cao's side. Just like the boundless night in front of you, even if you can hold up the candle, light the lantern, and hold the torch high, the night is still pressing on your head and heart, which cannot be removed or avoided.

The dispute between Shandong and Shanxi has actually been planted since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then continued until the Tang Dynasty. At the time of Xuanwumen, a huge irreconcilable contradiction broke out, reached its peak, and continued throughout the Tang Dynasty. , also influenced subsequent dynasties.

At present, the dispute between Fei Qian and Cao Cao is not just a duel between these two people, nor is it a personal grievance between two people, but a duel between the political groups represented by the two people, from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period to the present. A duel between people from Shandong and Shanxi.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, at the beginning of the Warring States Period, the disputes between Shandong and Shanxi have continued, whether in terms of politics, economy, or military affairs. At that time, the Qi State, Lu State, and other countries in the Shandong area often ridiculed the Qin State in Shanxi. He is an aborigine, a country bumpkin tainted with fishy smell, a groundhog who is ignorant, ignorant of etiquette, and ignorant of scriptures...

   At that time, not to mention the State of Lu, the Academy of Qi State was famous all over the world, and its culture was at its peak, ranking first in the Central Plains.

Well, even though it was half a month, uh, the Empress Dowager Miyue was indeed naive and blatantly told the two or three things about her and Ying Si on the bed in the court, and she also sat down in front of foreign envoys. It is true that the people of Qin State did not pay much attention to these etiquette norms at that time.

  But in the end, it happened that the Qin people who were called half Qiang Rong were unified...

  How can this make people in Shandong feel bad?

  Even later, in the early Han Dynasty, some people encouraged Qi Wang Han Xin to rebel, and then in the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, there were still rebellions among the princes of Shandong. In the end, during the Western Han Dynasty, the continuous cutting of Shandong leeks was a kind of political correctness. Tens of thousands of big households were relocated to Guanzhong, which made Chang'an prosperous and left deep hatred.

   Later, Emperor Guangwu relied on the power of Jizhou and Yuzhou to reunify the Han Dynasty. The contradictions and barriers between Shandong and Shanxi have not been alleviated, but gradually deepened.

  After all, Confucian children often say that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years", as the so-called "the more ten years come together, the ten years will teach lessons, after twenty years, Wu Qi will be a marsh!" 』

  Guo Jia's current strategy for Boss Cao is "A Gentleman's Revenge".

Well, it's not about "killing people with a borrowed knife", nor is it "driving tigers and wolves away". At most, it means "sowing dissension", or "killing three men with two peaches", but it is more to persuade Cao Cao to forbear at the moment, to accumulate strength, and to face the fundamentals Sexual issues should not be rushed. This is the same reason that Guo Jia gave Cao Cao ten victories and ten defeats against Yuan Shao in the novel.

  In Romance, after Guo Jia presented a strategy of ten victories and ten defeats, he despised Yuan Shao strategically, so he turned around and told Cao Cao that we have such a great advantage against Yuan Shao, so let's go and fight Lu Bu first...

   It is the same now.

   After Guo Jia presented his strategy against Fei Qian, he turned around and said to Cao Cao: "Therefore, my lord, please go to the position of general and worship the position of prime minister!" 』

  『Change to worship the prime minister? ! 』Cao Cao frowned suddenly, and then he felt a little dazed.

  Guo Jia nodded slightly, "The position of the prime minister is the head of all the officials in the world...it should be pushed by the crowd..."

  『Hmm…』 Cao Cao pondered, thinking.

  『My lord, let’s think back,』 Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed outside the hall, 『How did you get this Yuzhou... Did it happen overnight? 』

  Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, "This..."

   Yuzhou, six counties.

  Cao Cao's occupation of Yuzhou was not like in the game, with a bang, the city was captured, and then changed color in an instant, but after a process that was not short or long.

Yingchuan was the first to belong to Cao Cao. On the one hand, with the cooperation of Xun Yu and others, Cao Cao defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turbans near Yingchuan. After basically controlling Yingchuan, he launched an attack on the Yellow Turbans in Runan , Later, it was generally considered to have mastered the Runan area.

   Then Liang Guo, after a period of time, was not fully occupied until before Guandu. At that time, there was another episode. When Cao Cao was chasing Yuan Shu, he had no money to reward the soldiers, so he opened a package...

   Liang Wang Tomb.

   That was the blind box of Liang Wang of more than a dozen generations in the Western Han Dynasty and seven or eight generations in the Eastern Han Dynasty! It must be more real than the blind boxes sold by some unscrupulous beasts!

   Later, when the emperor heard about it, he wept unceasingly.

   I don’t know what it is to be sad…

  As for Pei Guo, Chen Guo and Lu Guo are relatively backward, and it is only after defeating Yuan Shu and Lu Bu that they can be considered to have a relatively complete grasp of their territory.

Of course, on the whole, Cao Cao’s acquisition of Yuzhou was relatively easy. Because of the support of Yingchuan Xunyu and others, there were no repetitions. Many places were even captured by peaceful means, and there was no tragedy. siege warfare.

  The reason why Guo Jia mentioned the situation in Yuzhou was of course referring to Jizhou.

  From a certain point of view, Cao Cao is now in an embarrassing situation because Jizhou's subordinates are at odds with each other, and the flag has changed on the surface, but it is actually similar to Yuan Shao's time.

   "The meaning of filial piety is..." Cao Cao said slowly, "Is someone impatient? 』

  Guo Jia is silent.

  Cao Cao frowned deeply.

   Are you in a hurry?

  So don’t be in a hurry, how much time do you need?

  Will Feiqian give me so much time?

  After applying some of Fei Qian's technical updates on the military, Cao Cao felt more and more that the time was not waiting for him.

  『My lord, haste makes waste,』 Guo Jia said. Nowadays, Jizhou looks like a god, and there are many repetitions in it. If it is not sorted out in time, if there is a slight change, it will shake the foundation. Wouldn't it be more and more difficult? 』

  Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

When Cao Cao was young, he actually had the same thoughts as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. He felt that winning Jizhou and Yuzhou would win the world, which is the old saying "whoever wins the Central Plains can win the world", so in the early days of seeking Dong, Yuan Shu relied on Yuan's old roots , Occupied Yuzhou, Yuan Shao was staring at Jizhou, Cao Cao could only be caught in the middle, as an air mattress for the two Yuans, or some other buffer.

  But now, Cao Cao began to gradually doubt the correctness of the so-called "whoever wins the Central Plains can win the world", re-evaluating whether the old road before Guangwu is suitable for driving again.

A large number of people is indeed an advantage, but after there are many people, there will be more thoughts and desires, and there will be more contradictions. If they cannot be reconciled, these scattered thoughts and desires cannot be unified in one place. It must be said that it is not as effective as when there are fewer people.

  『Another year...the Qinglong Temple Great Discussion...』 Guo Jia clicked again.

  Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and opened his eyes to look at Guo Jia, "Explanation to the scriptures? ! 』

  Guo Jia nodded slowly, "This is the great enemy of Shandong... just like the "red eyebrows" in the past...there is this enemy on the left, and there is a benefit on the right. Why worry about Jizhou not following? If Jizhou follows it, and Qingxu is also settled, what worries does the lord have? 』

  Cao Cao took a deep breath, stood up, walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, and finally nodded, "What Feng Xiao said is true!" Follow this policy! 』

  …(`Д*)9…

   Coming out of the General's Mansion, it was almost dawn.

  Guo Jia rubbed his hands together and let out a breath. Between his brows, there still seemed to be some chills.

  『Is this... still summer? 』

  Guo Jia murmured subconsciously.

  The entourage outside the mansion stepped forward to ask Guo Jia to get in the car, but Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "No, I want to take a walk...to the market..."

  Dawn in midsummer was still a bit chilly. Just like the current Cao Cao political group, it looks like flowers are in full bloom, but there is always a major and fatal hidden danger that is difficult to cure, that is, there is always a lack of "loyalty" and "trust" within the Cao Cao regime.

  There are many factors for the formation of this kind of hidden danger. There are children of the gentry who have their own thoughts, but there is also Cao Cao himself who is suspicious of everything in his bones. Cao Cao did not trust and did not rely heavily on people with foreign surnames, which led to a serious lack of due "loyalty" and "trust" within the political group under Cao Cao, and this situation further pushed Cao Cao to rely on his own family People conquer the world.

  Maybe…

  Welcoming the Son of Heaven...

  Guo Jia walked slowly along the street, his thoughts slowly diverging.

  In history, not only the Cao Wei regime, but even the Sima Jin Dynasty formed later.

  Born in doubt, died in doubt.

Don't look at the fact that Cao Cao has "five sons of good generals" in the history books. It seems that Cao Cao is very good to these generals with foreign surnames, but in fact, most of the time, Cao Cao and the heirs of the Cao family have never given the full power of generals to these foreign surnames. general.

  The situation in Cao Cao's era was even better, and various clan figures were generally able to be reused. After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, the trust situation within his team further deteriorated. Cao Pi didn't trust his own brothers either. Under house arrest. This situation led to the decline of important clan officials such as Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, and there was no one available in the Cao Wei Center. There was really no way to hand over the power of commanding the army to Sima Yi, and because the clan was weak, the Emperor Cao had no strength to restrain the powerful officials. Soon it fell into the hands of Sima Yi and his son...

  After Sima Yan replaced Wei Lijin, the Sima regime learned from the lessons of the fall of Cao Wei and enshrined the kings, and all the important powers were concentrated in the hands of Sima's own family. They think that if this goes on like this, the emperor will be able to sit back and relax with the powerful strength of the kings to defend the center, but they don't realize that the remaining problems are more serious. Suspicion has become an incurable cancer. Not long after Sima Yan passed away, Sima Yan Immediately there was chaos within the family...

Of course, Guo Jia didn't know the direction of the Cao Wei regime and the Sima regime in history, but it didn't prevent him, as a top strategist, from being aware of the hidden dangers in this aspect in advance, and taking this opportunity, on the one hand, he gave advice to Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he It is to make things right for Xun Yu. Apart from these two aspects, it is trying to treat and eliminate the political atmosphere of "doubt" that Cao Cao currently has in the political group.

  However, this is a bit difficult...

   Before he knew it, Guo Jia had already passed the intersection.

  The gates of the workshops opened one after another, and the small vendors who came out early to make a living were also set up in the streets and alleys. The heat from the pots and kettles in the stalls rose, adding some warmth to this slightly cold midsummer dawn.

  Guo Jia suddenly felt a little hungry, so he touched his sleeves. He had no money, and he touched his waist, but he didn't have any money. So he turned his head back and said to the followers who were following him, "Which one of you brought the money?" Lend me some first, then give it to you later...」

"this…"

  The entourage following Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, and then someone responded, "Mr., don't you want to buy wine again?" You didn’t pay back the money you borrowed to buy wine last time…』

"Shut up! 』An older follower quickly glanced at the small vendor beside him, and found that it was impossible for him to sell any alcohol, so he smiled, took out a not very big money bag from his arms, and handed it To Guo Jia, he said, "Don't blame my lord, this kid... this kid's speech is useless...Don't blame my lord..."

   Guo Jia took the purse and frowned slightly.

  The money bag is not heavy, which means that there is not much money in it.

  Of course, it doesn’t cost much to eat breakfast, but under such circumstances, the reactions of these followers of mine...

  Guo Jia sighed deeply, suddenly lost the thought of eating, and threw the purse back to the attendant, "Well, suddenly I'm not hungry anymore... let's go, get in the car!" go home! 』

  He suddenly understood.

  Sometimes, more and less actually change. And this kind of change will be due to different people and inconsistencies in classes, resulting in considerable differences. And even with Guo Jia's intelligence, he didn't know how to eliminate such a difference.

Although the entourage didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking, but he stayed up most of the night in the concierge of the General's Mansion, and now he was very happy to be able to go home. Guo Jia got into the car and headed home.

  Guo Jia sat in the car, glanced at the busy vendors, and looked at these figures in the morning light, and suddenly felt a kind of sadness in his heart...

   But, how did this hussar do it?

   Isn't he afraid that one day these "how much" differences will surge up and overwhelm them?

  『Hoo…』

  Guo Jia looked up at the sky.

  In the morning light, the sky gradually brightened, and white clouds slowly floated in the sky.

  At this very moment, in Liaodong, there are also people looking up at the same sky, but facing different white clouds.

   Just a few days ago, Gongsun’s reinforcements, which were finally pulled together, were said to be one hundred thousand, and they were fighting against the Dingling people outside the city...

   Big defeat.

   This is really frustrating.

  The situation in the land of Liaodong is changing rapidly. Since the end of last year, the Ding Ling people began to invade Liaodong. In the past half a year, almost half of the counties in Liaodong have been defeated.

Gongsun Du claimed to be the King of Liaodong, and once thought that as long as he showed his strength, he could directly take the land of Youyan and make the Gongsun family's lintel more prosperous, but what he didn't expect was that it would be fine if he didn't make a move. After a big battle, not only did the Liaodong Army expose its true and false, but it also forged a moderate hatred with the Ding Lingren in the end.

  For Ding Lingren, an originally formidable opponent is worthy of respect, but for a dog who once became his own, but turned his face and bit his master in a blink of an eye, it is absolutely unforgivable!

   To beat Liaodong, for the Dingling people, it is to clean up the dogs who betrayed themselves! The fight became more and more ruthless, and then...

  When Gongsun Kang saw this result in the city, he almost had a feeling of blackness in front of his eyes. This feeling was even more sad and helpless than the feeling he had heard of his father's death before...

  This world, this Liaodong, these people, how could it be like this!

   Of course, there are some things in this, as far as he is concerned, it is actually a little bit clear.

The so-called reinforcements this time, in all aspects of Liaodong, have his father's decades of management, the differences between the Han and Hu people, and the determination of the local big families who were looted, and Gongsun Kang is in the middle, and he is also advancing He made the greatest efforts, made the greatest concessions, and promised the greatest benefits, but these patchwork reinforcements have inherent hidden dangers.

   That is to say, although the goal is the same, wanting to drive away Ding Ling, but the intentions of all aspects in the reinforcements are not the same.

  Ordinary people, at most, want to drive Ding Lingren away earlier, so no matter who leads them, as long as they can lead them to defeat Ding Lingren, then they are willing to listen to whoever...

  But other people's thinking, the size of the benefits they want, are not the same.

  Someone wants more, like Gongsun Kang's brother.

  His younger brother wants to pacify Liaodong and rob him of his father's position as Liaodong prefect, Gongsun Kang is clear. But now that the city is besieged by Dingling people, even Dingling people only know how to possess ants, and they have caused a lot of damage to Gongsun Kang. In order to avoid being trapped in the city, he can only focus on the present...

And among these big and powerful families in Liaodong, there are quite a few of them. Although the pain of looting by Dingling people forced these big dogs to unite and send troops, many people still hold the idea of ​​​​changing their masters anyway. , Maybe you can still negotiate with Ding Lingren, if you don't catch one or two people who secretly communicated with Ding Lingren to make an example, these big players will turn around and surrender to Ding Lingren!

  As for the so-called "allies" of Goguryeo and Buyeo, they are even more unreliable.

   But the problem is, even if it is unreliable, even if there are different thoughts among the reinforcements, but the number of people is there, how can they be defeated like this? !

  Although 100,000 is an imaginary number, there are still more than 10,000, and they were defeated so easily by Ding Lingren!

  Gongsun Kang couldn't help recalling his experience in the Battle of Youzhou before, and then felt more and more frustrated.

  Three thousand hussars can fight, tens of thousands of people are running away...

  And thousands of Ding Ling can kill more than ten thousand Gongsun reinforcements to the point of disarming them...

  In comparison, what is Gongsun Jun?

  Is it third-rate?

   Gongsun Kang's eyes turned black for a while.

  Why is there such a big gap between being Han Chinese?
