536.Chapter 536: The Gao Brothers
Perhaps in history, Gao Gan was just a soy sauce commodity. In fact, not only Gao Gan, but even Yuan Shao himself is a high-end soy sauce man, and his existence is almost to achieve Cao Cao's prestige.
Naturally, the vast majority of the civil and military who followed Yuan Shao also became the soy sauce party in history because of a soy sauce lord.
However, in fact, even Yuan Shu, a prince who has been extremely degraded by history, has his merits. What's more, Yuan Shao, who was a concubine, dominated the four northern counties and almost destroyed Cao Cao?
History, however, is often written by the victors. For the loser, people will rack their brains to come up with many arguments that assert that the person will inevitably fail.
And for those who win, people will constantly look for the reason why they must win.
As everyone knows, there are too many contingencies in reality, and perhaps a small factor may change the course of the entire history. The existence of the butterfly effect is the best illustration of this.
Therefore, even though Yuan Shao is a loser and a historical tragedy, he also has his own merits.
I have to say that Yuan Shao's vision is very good.
In history, whether it is the four court pillars of Hebei, or the high-ranking officials in Jizhou, Tian Feng, Xu You and others, each of them is a hero.
It's a pity that Yuan Shaokong has the ability to recognize people, but he didn't let everyone show their talents to the fullest. Naturally, being able to be so valued by Yuan Shao is naturally outstanding.
Gao Ganbiao character Yuancai, is Yuan Shao's nephew, once lobbied Han Fu with Xun Chen, so that Yuan Shao led Jizhou pastor, and won Yuan Shao's attention.
Historically, Hebei was pacified, and Yuan Shao took Gao Gan as the pastor of the state, and his three sons each led a state. Gao Gan is honored and favored, and he is in the limelight for a while.
Gao Gan was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty Wang clan Chen Liugao, the Gao family's several generations of filial piety and Qing name, gradually accumulated into a kind of political capital, enjoyed prestige in Shilin, and was related to the Yuan clan in Runan.
As a son of Chen Liugao's family, Gao Gan is also extraordinary. During his seven years as the governor of Bingzhou, he made outstanding achievements and called for travelers from all directions, so that the travelers from all directions were attached to him.
Under the governance of Gao Gan, the remote and desolate Bingzhou also became Yuan Shao's granary. When the Battle of Guandu broke out, a lot of Yuan Shao's logistics grain and grass were provided by the high-level merge states.
It can be said that the senior cadres are well versed in literature and military strategy, and have a high reputation in Hebei. He ruled the state for seven years, and he made great achievements.
In the end, he defended Huguan with a lone army, and Le Jin and Li Dian led the army to conquer, but they could not be attacked for a long time, so Cao Cao had to lead the army to conquer in person.
Rao is like this, Gao Gan still resisted Cao Cao's army for seven or eight months, and he is a very outstanding general.
However, Gao Gan's personality is somewhat similar to Yuan Shao's. They are all sons of the family, and they all think very highly of themselves, and they have the ability to know talents, but they cannot use them.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the similar personalities that the senior cadres will be deeply valued by Yuan Shao.
Now, under the overall management of senior cadres, the entire Chen Liu has moved. In addition, the Gao family is also a Chenliu clan, and the relationship here is complicated, and it is deeply supported by the local heroes and scholars.
Through his connections, Gao Gan gathered more than 2,000 powerful private soldiers within half a day to help defend Chenliu.
Liu Bei has not yet called, but the entire Chen Liu has been managed by high-level cadres into an impregnable wall. I saw rolling stones, rolling wood, fire oil, and arrows piled up on the city wall, and flags covering the sky and the sun.
has been busy for a long time, Gao Gan looked at the city guarding materials on the city wall, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the setting sun, Gao Gan secretly thought: "Wen Hui is a very talented person, now that Liu Bei's soldiers are in the city, Wen Hui should be summoned to help me resist Liu Bei's army." ”
Wen Hui is the cousin of Gao Rou, the younger brother of the Gao Gan clan, and many people may not know Gao Rou as a person, but they don't know that he has also left a great reputation in history.
Gao Rou is also the son of an official eunuch, his father Gao Jing served as a lieutenant in Shu County, and Gao Rou stayed in his hometown of Chenliu.
When Cao Cao first got Yanzhou, Zhang Miao was entrenched in Chenliu and was nominally Cao Cao's subordinate. Gao Rou thought that Chen Liunai was the place of the four battles, and Cao Cao had the ambition to enter the Quartet, so he would not defend Yanzhou.
When Zhang Miao raised his army, Chen Liutai guarded, and I was afraid that he would betray Cao Cao in the future and cause war for Chen Liu.
Gao Rou persuaded the people to leave Chenliu and avoid the war that would ensue, but it was believed that Zhang Miao had a close relationship with Cao Cao and that Zhang Miao would not rebel against Cao Cao. Coupled with Gao Rou's young age, his opinion was not taken seriously at all.
In fact, it proved that Gao Rou's suggestion at that time was very forward-looking.
In addition, Gao Rou is also a pure filial person. In history, his father died of illness, and Gao Rou immediately braved the long road and ventured to Shu for funeral, and did not return to the north until three years later.
Gao Rou is a capable official, and he has always been fair and impartial in enforcing the law, and no one in the officials under his rule dares to bend the law for personal gain.
At that time, Gao Gan betrayed Cao Cao, and Cao Cao wanted to kill Gao Rou, but he had no excuse. So he appointed him as the assassin Lingshi, and asked Gao Rou to try the prisoners in prison, hoping that Gao Rou would make a mistake because of this, so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of him.
But she didn't want to, Gao Rou handled the case with ease, and the law was fair, and there was no prisoner in the prison who was stranded and unsentenced. Gao Rou herself is also dedicated to the public, reading the paperwork until late at night every night, and even falling asleep with the paperwork in her arms.
Seeing this situation, Cao Cao couldn't help but greatly change his opinion of Gao Rou, and admired his talent, not only did he not want to kill him again, but also recruited Gao Rou as the prime minister of Cang Cao.
Later, Cao Pi ascended the throne as the emperor, appointed Gao Rou as the secretary and served the imperial history, gave the title of Marquis of Guannei, and transferred the law enforcement to the book. Gao Rou made great contributions to the formulation and perfection of Cao Wei's law.
Gao Rou later moved to the position of Ting Wei and was ranked as Jiuqing.
He is upright and strict in law enforcement. At the beginning, Cao Pi wanted to kill Bao Xun because of a vendetta, taking advantage of Bao Xun's petty mistakes.
Gao Rou, as a court lieutenant, was in charge of the prison and was the highest official in charge of justice. But he resolutely refused to listen to Cao Pi's words and punished Bao Xun.
In desperation, Cao Pi had no choice but to transfer Gao Rou from his original post and replace him with another court lieutenant to carry out the edict, and execute Bao Xun despite the opposition of the ministers.
After Cao Rong succeeded to the throne, Gao Rou was named the Marquis of Yanshou Pavilion. Gao Rou repeatedly advised Cao Rong to cultivate with the people and recuperate, and not to waste national strength by building large quantities of construction.
Later, Gao Rou even ranked as the third duke, and successively held the positions of Taichang, Sikong, and Situ, and her status was extremely prominent.
Gao Rou died at the age of ninety, and his life lasted throughout the history of Cao Wei, serving every generation of Cao Wei's monarchs.
Of course, Gao Rou is also a child of the family, and in the later Cao Shuang of the Wei State clan, he stood on Sima Yi's side in the gladiatorial battle with Sima Yi, who represented the interests of the family.
I have to say that no matter how talented and loyal the children of the family are, their first interests and values are still their own clan.
This is also the disadvantage of the Maison.
