Chapter 980: The Haze of the Plague
In the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian no longer believed that the wind of the king was shaken and shocked again, and he did not believe that singing a small song about the rise and fall of the people in the world could gather a large wave of admiration.
There is no problem with taking a big pie of the world map to fool the generals, because most of the intelligence of those generals is used in military formations, and their understanding of this world and the direction of the future do not necessarily have many mature ideas of their own.
But strategists are different.
There are knives, there are ambitions, and then these strategists will pounce on them and hug their thighs, and then shout for it?
Strategists, especially those who are top sages with first-class wisdom, measure not how lofty their ideals are, but the strength that is really in front of them, and then judge which of these strengths can be used by themselves......
is like the three Zhuge brothers, isn't the friendship between them bad?
The previous example that happened to Fei Qian himself, in terms of friendship, Fei Qian and Pang Tong are still good, in terms of relationship, whether from the perspective of Pang Degong or from the relationship between Jingxiang and marriage, it is considered good, and when he left Jingxiang, Pang Tong obviously wanted to come with him, but in the end he still didn't.
There is only one reason.
Pound Gong did not allow it.
There may be some reasons why Pang Degong is indifferent to fame and fortune and admires Huang Lao, but the most important thing is that Fei Qian at that time had less than a thousand soldiers, no more than ten, and no more than five counties, what to use to attract Pang Degong to change his mind?
Just like at this moment, Fei Qian is facing Jia Xu.
In history, Jia Xu started from Dong Zhuo, from Li Dao to Zhang Xiu, and then to Cao Cao, among these choices, the goal is probably the main line that Fang just said, to cut off the rotten arm of the Kwantung clan.
It is estimated that after the Battle of Wancheng, Jia Xu saw Cao Cao's words, and it is estimated that they are similar to now, encouraging Cao Cao to confront the Kwantung clan represented by Yuan Shao, after all, not long after the Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Guandu broke out.
On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, on the ground of Yanzhou, where Cao Cao was located, except for a limited number of people from Xun Yu and Guo Jiana, there was basically not much optimistic and firm support for Cao Cao to compete with Yuan Shao......
So in the end, Cao Cao said that sentence to Jia Xu: "The one who makes me believe in the world, Ziye." ”
Also, even the killer can be accommodated, what could be more convincing than this? Therefore, when Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, the Jizhou scholars did not hesitate to turn their heads and bow down under Cao Cao's skirt, most likely because of the effect of Jia Xu's move.
How can such a strategist, who has even calculated what may happen in the future, abandon everything without hesitation, even his own family position, and serve himself wholeheartedly because of a few words, or a few social problems in later generations, or a so-called lofty ambition?
Fei Qian's current form, compared with Cao Cao at that time in history, seems to have its own merits, or rather, in some aspects, it is slightly stronger, especially for Yu Jia Xu.
After all, there are not too many Kwantung clans here.
So this soft-shelled turtle decided to come to me to fool around?
Shouldn't this be my job?
It seems that the previous arrangement was correct, if this big fool really caught the opportunity to speak, maybe he would either have a numb foot or a lame foot......
Who can tell how much of Fang Cai's words are true and how much is false?
Which ones are true and which ones are false?
Fei Qian glanced at Jia Xu up and down a few times, wondering whether to ask someone to boil some water, and just boil the soup and drink it.
Jia Xu was stared at by Fei Qian, and couldn't help but accept the collection with an impassioned appearance, putting on a serious and serious face.
"Wenhe," Fei Qian also put on a serious appearance, and said without a smile, "Your words, although they are targeted, there are also wrongs!" ”
Jia Xu didn't show any emotion at all, but just arched his hand and said, "Please give me advice." ”
“…… You are a Legalist, and you should know the pros and cons of Legalism. Fei Qian looked at Jia Xu and said, "In other words, if there is a shortcoming, Wen He can say it bluntly." ”
"Magic, art, and potential, each has its own wonderful use, and it is ......supplemented by etiquette," Fei Qian raised three fingers and said, "This is the great achievement of the pre-Qin Legalist family, and Han Feizi's contribution is indispensable." ”
Jia Xu nodded,
"Confucianism is still courteous, Taoism is still empty, ink is still righteousness, and the Dharma is ......" Fei Qian paused, then looked at Jia Xu and said, "Shangren, or Yan, Shang Jun is also ......"
Jia Xu's eyes widened, with a slight look of admiration, and nodded yes.
The "rule of law" in Legalism is not the rule of law in the modern sense. Although the emphasis was placed on the use of law to control and weaken the power of the aristocracy, the fundamental purpose was to concentrate power in the hands of the king. The law is still above the power of the monarch and the emperor, the so-called "export is the law, the next pen is the law", the king can be above the law, above the law, such a law is essentially the power greater than the law of the king's law, so it can not talk about the rule of law in the real modern sense, so Fei Qian said "the law is still the king".
This information may not be paid special attention to in later generations, let alone in the Han Dynasty. Because the speed of knowledge transmission is relatively slow, and most of them are passed on in the form of family learning, so in many cases, the aborigines of the Han Dynasty did not have the opportunity to come into contact with some things other than their own family learning, and even if they did, many of them were just words from other schools......
Imagine that a bamboo slip can only write a dozen or twenty words at most, and then a volume is mostly three or four thousand words, under such conditions, it is quite a luxury to want to have a large number of books for personal reading, so in ancient times, basically, a person can only refine one school.
Therefore, when Fei Qian can not only explain the characteristics of Legalism, but also compare it with other schools, this amount of knowledge is basically not something that ordinary Han Dynasty scholars can grasp.
But that wasn't the end of it, Fei Qian continued, "...... Wen and Cheng Legalist mantle, should know the four words "good and evil", and then the same is true, and the same is true of failure...... "Legalists believe that people have the nature of "good and evil" or "good and bad and avoid harm", Shang Ying once said, "There are likes and dislikes in life, so the people can be governed", and according to this point, to formulate relevant laws and regulations.
It can be said that it is the nature of the entire biological world, the natural world and human society.
Sun-loving trees grow as sunny as possible, and shade-loving creatures gather in damp and shady places as much as possible. When a person encounters a sharp blade, he withdraws his hand, and when he encounters a flame, he must avoid it, which is the most basic axiom and the instinct for the continuation of life, from which the Legalists have derived a basic principle of dominating the masses of the people, "good interests and evil harms" or "good interests and evil harms".
This kind of "good and evil" or "good and evil" or "benefit and avoid harm" is not all in the material level, but even reflected in the spiritual level, when some people feel that one of their actions may lead to worse consequences, they may take measures to sacrifice the individual and protect the community, which belongs to a higher level of "benefit and avoid harm".
According to the evolutionary principle of survival of the fittest, those who can survive and reproduce in the end must be able to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and those who do not seek advantages and avoid disadvantages will inevitably be eliminated, and the higher races rely on strength and wisdom to maintain reproduction, and the inferior races rely on numbers to maintain reproduction, and if they do not seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the race will be destroyed, which is not only for living things, but also for human beings.
Therefore, the way of the Legalists, not the king's first law, according to the time and conditions, the degree and the long, the weight of the weight, the right is to profit, to obey the people's nature, hunger and food, labor and begging, suffering is to be happy, shame is to seek glory...... Therefore, Han Feizi has clouds, flying dragons ride clouds, beetles and snakes swim in the fog, clouds and fog, and dragons and snakes and worms and ants are in the same ......"
Fei Qian's words changed sharply, and he continued to Jia Xu: "...... Yao is a puppet and cannot cure three people; He is the Son of Heaven, but he can mess with the world...... Wen He wants to cut off the rotten arm, dare to ask why it is corrupt, if it is cut, what arm can be replaced? What if the new arm is rotten? Kill them all? Recreate the evils of the pre-Qin period? Or ......"
Jia Xu was silent, but stared at Fei Qian firmly.
Legalism is for the monarch, this Jia Xu cannot deny.
Then the left arm and the right arm are also for the body of the Han, which Jia Xu also cannot deny, so as the most respected monarch of the Legalists, when the body is rotten, is it also responsible?
Then cutting off the rotten arm, to the end, is to cut the monarch's body, but in this way, it is contrary to the position of the Legalists themselves......
This is also the most contradictory place in Jia Xu's heart. Jia Xu also thought about such problems, but in fact, many times he would rather classify these problems as the Kwantung clan, which is not a minister, not a king.
As the heir of the Legalist family, he must still be a gentleman, or find a Ming Jun, but in fact, Jia Xu also knows that the so-called Ming Jun actually does not exist, so what should I do?
Kill for another one?
What about another one?
Traitor?
I'm sorry, this kind of thing, in this era, at this point in time, even Dong Zhuo didn't think about it. You can change the emperor, but you still have the surname Liu.
After a long time, Jia Xufang asked, "If you think of a prince?" ”
Fei Qian actually had some preliminary plans for this problem, but he couldn't fully say it now, so he said: "Wenhe can know that the household hub is not beetle, and the flowing water is not rotten?" ”
Jia Xu repeated slightly, frowned and thought about it, but shook his head and said, "What's the difference?" ”
Fei Qian smiled, explained a little further, and said: "The upper king, the lower enlightenment, then the middle can be ......."
Jia Xu rolled his eyes a few times, and then suddenly said: "If you are confused, I hope that the prince and the marquis will relieve ...... doubts."
Fei Qian nodded, signaling that Jia Xu could ask questions.
"Therefore, the prince and the prince returned to the north?" Jia Xu asked.
"Yes." There is nothing to deny this, so Fei Qian nodded and said, there are few scholars in the north itself, which is convenient for re-planning and sorting.
"Therefore, the prince and the marquis set up to guard the mountain school?" Jia Xu asked further.
"Yes." Fei Qian nodded.
"Therefore, the prince is not here to provoke?" Jia Xu straightened up and continued to ask.
Fei Qian was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Ran......"
"Therefore, the prince did not ask before?" Jia Xu suddenly turned around and asked himself.
“…… This one...... Ran also ......" Fei Qian hesitated, looked at Jia Xu for a while, and finally admitted.
Jia Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed: "...... In this way, the prince played a big game of chess...... The light cavalry rushed forward and intercepted Meiyang...... Withdraw from the outside and sit and watch Guanzhong...... When the Guan Sergeant clan is in decline, it will be another place where one side joins the north......"
At this moment, suddenly a soldier ran in from outside the hall, holding a military report in his hand, the military situation was urgent, and it was naturally passed on at any time, and there was no room for delay.
Fei Qian took the military report from Huang Xu's hand, and after checking the fire paint, he knew that it was sent by Sucheng Xu Shu, and when he opened it, he didn't see a few columns, so he took a breath of cool air, and couldn't help but blurt out: "...... Guanzhong ...... There is an epidemic?! ”
Jia Xu on the side, when he heard this, also took a breath of cool air, and looked at Fei Qian with wide eyes.
Fei Qian smiled bitterly and said, "...... Wenhe, this matter ...... ...... unrelated to something"
Jia Xu nodded, shook his head again, sighed and said, "...... Providence is so, Providence is so...... Prince, you can withdraw the troops of Sucheng......"
"Evacuate the troops of Sucheng?"
Jia Xu looked back at the outside of the hall and said quietly: "Now it is the dispute between Hongnong and Guanxi, and the prince and the marquis are stationed in Sucheng, and they are like thorns in the back, and the sons of Guanzhong dare not let go of their hands and feet...... Besides, now that Meiyang is dead, Chiyang will definitely be difficult to support alone, it is difficult for Ma Han and his ilk to achieve great things, and Xiliang has no one to command......"
“…… It was the right time for the prince to withdraw his troops...... Coupled with the epidemic, there will be chaos in Guanzhong...... "Thinking of the Xiliang Group, which once had the power to sweep the world, now there are only three or two big cats and kittens left, Jia Xu also has some feelings.
Fei Qian noticed that Jia Xu used the word "epidemic", and when he said it again, he felt a little helpless.
Because of the Han Dynasty, in fact, there have been many plagues, every time there is a plague, many times it can only be bitter, and then when winter comes, everything will be covered under the ice and snow, so it is called the epidemic.
However, most of these plagues are accompanied by wars, such as the third year of the founding of the new Wang Mang, the year of Xinwei, the locust birth in Binhe County, the great epidemic, more than half of the dead, and then the year of Bingzi, and the great epidemic in February, Feng Mao died in Ju Town, and six or seven out of ten people died of the disease......
Not only during the change of regime, but even the general counterinsurgency, sometimes there will be the same outbreak of plague, just like when Ma Yuan was in Jianwu for 20 years, the southern expedition to Jiaozhi, the military officials died of the miasma plague 45 out of ten, and then in the 25th year of Jianwu, Wuling Wuxi encountered a great epidemic again, and many people died......
Therefore, if the war in Guanzhong does not stop, then the plague may not end, but according to the current situation, will the strife in Guanzhong stop?
Hehe.
Hardly.
Or is it basically impossible, some of these people have already put their lives on the table, how can they easily stop?
"Wen He's reasonable...... Fei Qian nodded and said, "...... In this way, they withdrew their troops to Sucheng......"
Jia Xu looked at the Zhongxing Sword hanging on the sword rack on Fei Qian's side, and after being silent for a moment, he suddenly solemnly arched his hand towards Fei Qian: "...... Junhou, there is another matter, can you borrow the Zhongxing sword? ”
Yes?
I've heard of borrowing arrows, I've never heard of borrowing swords, what does the soft-shelled turtle want to borrow this Zhongxing sword?
Jia Xu also saw Fei Qian's doubts, so he slowly explained: "...... The prince doesn't know if you've heard of it, the Flying Bear Army? ”
