Blocking the sun, Tian Xin took a Rong car to lead more than 100 horsemen to press the formation, and retreated along the Yongdao to block the sun.

The food and equipment in the corridor have been transported and look deserted.

Cao Xiu was speechless all the way, and only after arriving in Duyang did Tian Xin speak, with no expression on his face: "Cao Zhennan, don't leave it here." ”

Cao Xiu was reluctant to look at the White Rabbit, then at Mondo, and gave his hand: "Next year, I will fight the Central Plains with Tian Junhou again." ”

"Okay."

Without many words, Tian Xin watched Cao Xiu jump off the car, turned around and walked towards the more than 100 Wei army light horses that followed behind, Cao Xiu walked steadily in light clothes, and his gilded bright light armor naturally became Tian Xin's collection.

Cao Xiu turned over and got on his horse, looked at a military official beside him with a strange look, and frowned slightly: "Why did the Marquis of Weiyang Pavilion come here?" ”

Guo Yi was weak and thin-faced, and he was looking at Tian Xin's back with an envious look, and he coughed twice before he replied weakly: "I came first for Tutian Xiao." ”

After a few coughs, Guo Yi's face flushed slightly, when Cao Pi was the prince, he was a prince of literature, mastered secrets, and now held the position of a servant.

At the end of last year, he was infected with the epidemic, and Jingzhou reported Tian Xin's "Twelve Strategies for Epidemic Prevention and Rescue", which barely hung his life, and he had recovered most of his life after half a year of recuperation, but he was still weak.

Cao Xiu wanted to ask, but he held back, and drove his horse to the north with a whip and galloped lightly.

Guo Yi covered his face with a face towel to prevent dust, and followed the other knights to turn north.

On the other side of the Li water source, Ma Chao and others waited on their horses, Tian Xin rode Mondo to cross the river, and smiled and arched his hand: "Live up to the mission." ”

Except for Meng Da's reluctant smile, the rest of the generals were full of joy.

Although the Battle of Wankou did not get the desired results, it had already hurt the Wei army, and Nanyang could stabilize the army until next year.

After a simple feast, they also led the army to retreat, Ma Chao's prescribed garrison was in Wancheng, Guan Ping was in Xiangyang, Sun Lang and Zheng Gan carried out the military and civilian mixing in the Xinye area, but Meng Da and Xu Zuo did not.

Xu Zuo has given up the influence of the navy, and he is unwilling to go to the Eastern Expedition to block himself.

Tian Xin sent Guan Ping to Wanghua Pavilion, and the Long Xiang army had already set off, only more than 100 horsemen from Guan Ping stayed in Duyang.

The two stayed away from the public, and Guan Ping led the horse: "If the sun is not filial piety, no one can defend it, but if you keep it for a long time, you will lose, and your majesty loves people and light the soil, and in order to fight for an inch of land, the sharp soldiers are tired of patrolling, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Brother is saying that His Majesty will remove the defense of blocking the sun?"

"Yes, filial piety should be prepared in advance."

Guan Ping was convinced that he knew too many people around Liu Bei, and there was more conclusive information that allowed him to judge: "I expect that after the victory of the Eastern Expedition, next year the Right Army will go out of Qishan to attack Chencang, and General Zhenbei should be able to use the Praise Slope as a suspicious soldier." and Wuguan Dao, which was attacked by Xiao Xian and General Meng Qi. ”

"Your Majesty should leave the rear army to defend Jingzhou, and lead the front army and the Chinese army into the Central Plains, making it difficult for the Wei army to take care of both the head and the tail."

Next year's affairs, now Guan Ping has some news, indicating that he has begun to plan for next year's war.

Guan Ping paused slightly, and then said: "Maybe I will transfer filial piety to break away from the left army first and accompany His Majesty to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains." ”

Last year and at the beginning of this year, the main force was in Yizhou, and it was a geographical advantage to attack Guanzhong with the Jingzhou army; Now the main force is gathered in Jingzhou, if the first battle can conquer the Central Plains, then Guanzhong will be better to fight, almost bloodless, depending on the spread.

Tian Xin listened quietly, if the development of the campaign was as planned by Liu Bei's ministers, then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains would be his most brilliant battle.

This battle was won, Guanzhong was easy to decide, Qingxu and Jiangdong didn't need to go out on their own, and some generals went to pacify.

Maybe he will be a lieutenant of the horse and the lieutenant of the chariot for a period of time to consolidate his position, and things like the field army may be farther and farther away from him, and the positions of local county guards, state pastors, and governors will always be clear from themselves.

Caged birds, food and clothing, wealth and unparalleled.

If you are more honest, obedient, and low-key, then you will inevitably be praised and envied by everyone.

Perhaps there is also a chance to become some kind of role model, which will be publicized and promoted thousands of years later, and become a god and become holy.

But is this what you want?

I have an ideal, and this ideal needs to be laid step by step to build a solid foundation.

Guan Ping observed Tian Xin's demeanor, then raised his hand and patted Tian Xin's shoulder: "Filial piety is first, people are bitter." If you take a step back, everyone will remember you. ”

"But how long can these people remember? Can I write a note? What can be used as a guarantor, and who can be the guarantor? ”

Tian Xin stopped and looked at Guan Ping, who was only nineteen years old: "Brother, these people are only thirty or forty years old, and when they die of old age, you and I will only be thirty or forty years old." At that time, when you dragged your children and daughters, did you expect others to be kind? At that time, you and I were famous, but we retreated to the fields and houses, unarmed, and we were not afraid of the recurrence of the old things in Zhulu? ”

Guan Ping's face is not very good, his son has been born, and he is also a father.

Tian Xin took a deep breath: "You and I are already nobles, but we are from a humble family. If the Han Dynasty is prosperous, the noble relatives, the gate valve is strong, and the eunuchs of the cold family, when will this repeated fight stop? Who can stop? ”

The Yellow Turban Rebellion did not impact the foundation of the local wealthy clans, and the turmoil over the years has allowed the local wealthy clans to grow, every family has a dock fort, and the production technology is almost in the hands of such a wealthy family, and the situation is even worse than before the Yellow Turban.

Technology is the productive force, and there is a dock fort as a talisman, these people retreat to control the local economy, eat the flesh and blood of the people and grow slowly, and enter the court to call for wind and rain, will disrupt all attempts to reform.

The wealthy family will not give up if they do not get a satisfactory political situation.

In the chaotic court, law, order, and morality will continue to decline, the older generation will die and retreat, and the newcomers will not be warm and reasonable with you.

This is a dead knot, unless Zhuge Liang can beat all the heroes and gate valves back to their original shape.

"Brother, if you and I are here, maybe we can still help the society to protect our children and grandchildren. In the four hundred years of the former Han Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty said that he would change it, and the families of the Zhu clan abounded, and they were not inferior to you and me. ”

Taking a deep breath, Tian Xin's eyes were sincere: "I'm not greedy, I shouldn't be mine, I don't expect or stretch out my hand." But it's mine, no one should try to rob it, and don't think about cheating. I believe in Prime Minister Zhuge , as for the others, I won't let anyone. It is better for you and my descendants to change the emperor and kill the Hao clan than for the Hao clan to change the emperor and kill you and my descendants. ”

"What if...... Guan Hou asked, and his brother said frankly. Whether it is the Jing people or the Central Plains scholars, I only obey Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and I don't accept any of the rest of the people, and I won't give an inch. ”

"Xiaoxian, you and I have no background, how can we fight?"

"Brother is confused, Your Majesty and the prince can start from scratch and create this foundation, how can you say that you lack foundation?"

Tian Xin said as he removed his headscarf, revealing short hair, and smiled confidently: "Brother, this is no different from a punishment, who dares to laugh at me?" In my words, I can make more than 30,000 troops shave their hair with me, is this considered a foundation? ”

"As the saying goes, step by step, the surrender will give way to the high position, which is understandable. But the rest of the people are worth the humiliation and concession of you and me? ”

"If Guan Hou wants to fulfill His Majesty's wish, he can tolerate it temporarily, and you and I can also endure it for a while, but we can't tolerate it everywhere."

"You and I could have done better, why bother to be too upside down and fake your hands to others?"

Tian Xin was relieved after saying it in one breath, but the pressure shifted to Guan Ping's head.

He looked at Tian Xin for a long time and was speechless, enlightened by the scholars, and was somewhat in awe of the Gaomen clan in his heart.

But I think what Tian Xin said makes sense, why let it?

If you make one step by yourself, those who follow you must follow with you and make two steps. Make a step this year, make a step next year, how much leeway can you make?

Before leaving, Guan Ping thought about it and admonished: "Xiaoxian, if you make the army shave your hair with you, I am afraid it will cause an uproar among the public." ”

"Hehe, how can the parents of the body be easily destroyed?"

Tian Xin smiled lightly, looked down at his fingernails, and then looked up at Guan Ping's refined eyebrows, Guan Ping's heart sank, and he was very helpless: "You are so self-conscious." ”
