Chapter 364: Hair Cutting Acting Head

Those who are wise do not drink the water of the stolen springs, and those who are inexpensive are not allowed to eat from the springs. ------------Southern dynasties. Fan Ye "Le Yang Zi Wife"

It is said that although Guo Tu was captured alive, he had the will to die. He couldn't kill himself, and he was bent on dying in front of Chen Long, and even Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were influenced by him and were unwilling to surrender. Chen Long then used a strategy to provoke him, taking advantage of the opponent's psychology that he knew that he had less food and grass than ten days, and made a bet with Guo Tu to capture Yecheng within ten days.

Guo Tu didn't believe that someone in the world would contribute to Yecheng within ten days, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to the gambling contract. Chen Long waved his hand and said, "You go." ”

A gentle word, listening to the ears of others, did not react for a while. Listening to Guo Tu's ears, it was like a thunderclap, and his body twisted, turning into facing Chen Long, and his body was still full of the mud when he fell off the high platform. I only heard Guo Tu ask in an astringent voice, "What did you say?"

Chen Longzheng glanced at Guo Tu, thinking that the land of Yan Zhao has been full of tragic singers since ancient times, although these Hebei strategists are not the top in strategy, their loyalty is the best choice. With a big hand, he shouted: "Come on, don't bring a horse to Guo Junshi!" ”

This time, Guo Tu heard it clearly, but he couldn't move his footsteps, and stood in place, not knowing if he was considered to have received the favor of the Dragon Ball. The so-called "people with lofty ideals do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and the incorruptible do not receive the food that comes from the mouth", should they go or not? Alas, you can't die if you want to.

A military horse was pulled to the front of the slope, and Guo Tu slowly moved his steps, hesitating whether to say a few words. Suddenly turned around, looked at Long Chen, pointed at Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang and asked, "Long....... Dashuai, they ....... Do you want to let it go?"

This is the first time that Guo Tu called out the three words Long Dashuai, Chen Long shook his head and said: "When I capture Yecheng, I will naturally let the two of them go." I don't want to, when I attack Yecheng on my back, I have to beware of the feather arrows of the two generals Lu. He smiled slightly.

When Guo Tu heard this, it turned out that he let himself go, but it turned out that he couldn't release arrows. Isn't that sarcastic to me. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was wrong, it seemed that the person opposite didn't want to let himself have any psychological burden. Such a delicate coach is hard to find in the world.

Guo Tu couldn't move a little again, and slowly went downhill to get on the horse, when he suddenly saw several soldiers coming with a long knife and carrying it in front of Tao Sheng. Tao Sheng's face was like earth, and he knelt on the ground.

Chen Long raised his foot and kicked Tao Sheng away, pointed to the long knife and said, "I originally wanted to reward you for a new knife, but your knife is white and clean, not even a side is rolled, not even a little blood, you take it back and continue to use it!" ”

How dare Tao Sheng say half a word, he lay on the ground with his head in his pocket, and begged for mercy: "Great military division, please read for the sake of me following Zhang Dashuai for many years, spare me." I have several children to raise at home, and I have a large family. ”

Lu Chang behind him couldn't stand it for a long time, and pulled out his dagger and shouted: "People who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" And the face to intercede! Great military division, military law is like a mountain, you give orders! ”

Although Chen Long also wanted to be ruthless, he was ruthless like Cao Cao, but the rewards and punishments were clear, and when the matter came, he couldn't say whether he was going to be executed. suddenly remembered the story of Cao Cao's hair cutting and acting as the head, and pulled out the dagger and cut off his hair bun.

Everyone was shocked, and they all fell to their knees, at a loss. Chen Long held his long hair and shouted: "The army is not strictly disciplined, and the soldiers are not brave in battle, it is the commander's mistake, if you want to cut off the first one, you should cut off my head." Today, I will be honored with my hair instead of my head. ”

Tao Sheng's face was full of shame, looking at Long Chen, he felt remorseful in his heart, it was better to go to Bai Huan, who had no corpse next to him, and it would be glorious to die. Chen Long continued: "Tao Sheng was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he was removed from the position of general, and immediately returned to Puyang to raise military rations for the small soldiers who transported grain. Tao Sheng couldn't imagine that he would still be able to survive, so he kowtowed desperately.

Looking at the lively Guo Tu next to him, he saw it all over his eyes, this Dragon Ball has clear rewards and punishments, but it is not easy to slaughter, and it is really rare to be willing to fulfill other people's lives. It's a pity that this little bit of woman's kindness, in this bloodthirsty and powerful society, I am afraid that there will be no good results. Thinking of this, Guo Tu shook his head slightly and got on the horse.

The story of cutting the hair of the head of the head, the original text of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is as follows: Cao Liuxun Yu dispatched generals in Xudu and marched from the self-unified army. During the march, they saw that the wheat was ripe all the way, and the people did not dare to mow the wheat because of the soldiers. Cao sent people from far and near to the village people, fathers and elders and officials everywhere guarding the border, saying: "I follow the edict of the Son of Heaven to send troops to fight against rebellion and eliminate harm with the people. When the wheat was ripe, he had no choice but to raise troops, generals and colonels, all who crossed the wheat field, but trampled on them, and they were all beheaded. Military law is very strict, and the people should not be surprised. When the people heard the message, they all rejoiced and praised it, and worshiped it when they looked to the dust. When the officers and soldiers passed through the wheat field, they all dismounted and held the wheat with their hands, and passed by one by one, and did not dare to trample on it. Cao rode the horse as he was going, and suddenly a dove was startled in the field. The horse's eyes were born, and they ran into the wheat and trampled a large wheat field. Cao followed the call to march to the master book, and proposed to commit his own crime of practicing wheat. The chief secretary said: "How can the prime minister discuss the crime? Cao said: "I make my own law, I commit it myself, how can I obey the public?" "That is, the sword he wears wants to kill himself. The crowd was rescued. Guo Jia said: "The righteousness of the ancients' Spring and Autumn Period: the law is not respected. How can the army of the prime minister and the president kill themselves? Cao pondered for a long time, and said: "Since "Spring and Autumn" has the meaning of 'the law is not added to respect', my aunt will not die." He cut off his own hair with a sword and threw it to the ground, saying, "The right to cut off the hair is the head." The envoy sent a message to the three armies, saying: "The prime minister practiced wheat, and he should have been beheaded and ordered, but now he will cut his hair instead." So the three armies were terrified, and they all obeyed the military order.

This story is passed down as a story of Cao Cao's strict self-discipline, but it is a manifestation of privilege. When discipline or even the law is violated, just as Cao Cao's horse made a mistake because it was frightened, who does not have the extenuating "feeling" of "cutting the hair on behalf of the head"?

Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang, father and son, who annotated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", saw this and scolded Cao Cao for being a "traitor": Okay, you Cao Cao, you will be exempted from the death penalty like this!

In fact, cutting off the hair is really a punishment in ancient times, called "". In ancient times, people had long hair and were fixed with hairpins. And there is only one kind of person with short hair: slaves! In ancient times, the Yue people were all short-haired, so they were said to be barbarians, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, short hair was a symbol of lowliness. Including Cao Cao's Cui Yan, he was punished as a slave by Cao Cao, but it is impossible to really let a dignified scholar dig coal! This is the punishment he received.

This kind of punishment is not harmful to the person, but it is a great punishment for the soul, especially in ancient times, the division of class is obvious, this kind of punishment is better than killing him!

This is evident from the fact that Cao Cao did not kill Cui Yan but only inflicted this punishment on him. And on the other hand. As a monarch, Cao Cao was able to punish himself as a slave, which was also rare.

Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has been the mainstream, and Confucianism has "the body is skinned, the parents who receive it, dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety". It can be seen that at that time, hair cutting was very serious.

Cao Cao's subordinates were "all the troops were shocked", and none of them dared to disobey Cao Cao's orders, precisely because of this. Chen Long cut his hair and acted as the head, all the troops were shocked, and Tao Sheng was ashamed. With this hair cutting acting head, Chen Long finally took the lead of Cao Cao and became a new history of the New Three Kingdoms.
