Chapter 182: Taking History as a Mirror
Bai Buxin swallowed a mouthful of mutton, and then said: "Originally, he was going to come to eat today, but when he was about to leave, someone came to report that there was a liar in the city who cheated in the name of a half-immortal, and he had to deal with it himself, estimating that his lunch could only be eaten again in the evening!" ”
"Zuya General is really a capable person!" Wei Qing exclaimed: "Whether it is to govern the army or to govern it, he has a hand!" ”
Bai Buxin saw Qi Muge get up to add vegetables, there were only two people in the room for a while, he and Wei Qing were the only two of them, and he lowered his voice and said to Wei Qing: "I'm just worried about this, if he doesn't have such a strong ability, or if he has the ability not to show it, it's better, so he will do his best, I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to him!" ”
"What?" Wei Qing was surprised, he never thought that there would be danger in exerting his ability.
Bai Buxin smiled, and the smile was quite strange: "Have you ever thought about why, with Zu Ti's ability, he led 20,000 blood troops to return, but the military department was only willing to let him be a general, and have you ever thought that when the generals were urgently needed, why the military department did not use Zu Ti's ability to govern the army, but divided his troops and made him an administrative official without soldiers!" ”
Wei Qing patted the table lightly: "Yes!" This question has been bothering me for a long time, and I don't understand why the military department did this. ”
Bai Buxin sighed: "Brother Xian, that's because your heart is full of sunshine, so you don't think about these ugliness and gloom!" ”
"Please!" Although Wei Qing only said two words, his heart was a little nervous, Bai Buxin said "ugly and dark", then this matter would never be an ordinary trivial matter.
Sure enough, Bai Buxin's next words made Wei Qing stunned.
Bai Buxin said: "No matter who it is, up to His Majesty the Emperor, down to the Ministry of War, whether it is Gu Shangshu or Jiang Shilang, there is a common worry, in this regard, whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, as long as he is in his position, he will have this worry, that is: rebellion, Zu Ti as the leader of the righteous army, he responds to every call, and governs the army and governs everything, if he is an official who has been promoted step by step from a low position, it is naturally a good thing, but he himself comes from the people, and this potential and strength is something that the emperor cannot effectively control, In case he is given a high position and real power, if he has any dissenting intentions, but how to prevent it, his blood army is actually not loyal to the emperor, but loyal to his ancestors, this is not something that the emperor can change with his next order, if he really rebels on this basis, who can cure him, so the greater the merit of Zu Ti, the stronger the ability, the more guarded the high-ranking officials are against him, at first they just refused to give him a higher military position, but now seeing that he is very capable, he simply divided his troops and made him a civilian official, and the reason is here! ”
Wei Qing had half a mouthful of mutton in his mouth, and it was difficult to swallow for a while, although he had a thousand clever plans when he was facing the enemy, he was far-sighted, and he expected the enemy like a god, but he never thought of this situation.
It is no wonder that Jiang Shilang knows people, and the husband of the employer should also treat Zu Ti like this.
Bai Buxin sighed: "I naturally can't say this clearly, so as not to hurt the hearts of the folk righteous people, but in fact, I hinted at him, I talked to him about Sun Bin, but he didn't think deeply!" ”
Wei Qing smiled bitterly.
Yes, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the heroes competed for hegemony, among which the story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan can be said to be very famous, Pang Juan hated Sun Bin's talent, designed to harm him, almost caused Sun Bin to die, Sun Bin managed to escape back to Qi State, using his extraordinary intelligence, so that Pang Juan died in ten thousand arrows, if it wasn't for Pang Juan in order to get the "Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War", Sun Bin would not even have a chance to turn the tables, he sighed: "It's a pity that the ancestral tooth general didn't think that today's Pang Juan may not be a general but a king!" ”
Bai Buxin shook his head: "What I told him was not this time, but the time when Sun Bin and Tian Ji were killed by King Qi Wei, in fact, that example is very straightforward, and that situation is the same today, but today it is not Sun Bin, but Zu Li, not King Qi Wei, but ,,,,,, hehe!" He said no more.
Wei Qing realized that indeed, in fact, what happened to Sun Bin later was too similar to today's Zu Ti.
When Sun Bin helped Tian Ji win consecutive battles, it was Zou Ji who was the minister of Qi at that time, this person was also very famous, and he had repeatedly sarcastically admonished King Qi Wei, Zou Ji was eight feet tall and dignified, but he was narrow-minded and selfish, Qi was against Wei before the two wars, he was resolutely opposed to sending troops, and when Tian Ji and Sun Bin triumphed, the vinegar in his heart could be imagined, with the improvement of Sun Bin and Tian Ji's prestige, Zou Ji was worried that his phase was unstable, so he wanted to get rid of Tian Ji and Sun Bin quickly, probably because Sun Bin was a disabled person, It is unlikely that he will compete with Zou Ji for the phase, so Zou Ji first aimed at Tian Ji, who was in the limelight.
Soon after Sun Bin defeated the Wei army and killed Pang Juan in the Battle of Maling, Zou Ji found his cronies to plan how to get rid of Tian Ji, and his cronies read an idea: "Why don't you let people ten gold in the city, saying: 'My Tian Ji is also a person, I have three battles and three victories, and my reputation is the world, and if I want to do great things, it is also auspicious or unlucky. ”
Zou Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, so he sent someone to the city to find a fortune teller to tell the fortune, threatening that Tian Ji sent him to calculate, to calculate whether Tian Ji wanted to rebel, whether it was good or evil, Zou Ji then sent someone to arrest this person and send it to King Qi Wei.
King Qi Wei was originally suspicious of Tian Ji's heavy army, and after listening to Zou Ji's words, he believed that Tian Ji had the intention of rebellion, and at this time Tian Ji was leading his troops outside, so King Qi Wei sent an envoy to summon Tian Ji back to Linzi, preparing to wait for Tian Ji to return to Linzi before interrogating the matter.
Sun Bin was also in Tian Ji's army at this time, he had a deep view of the political situation of Qi and the contradictions between Zou Ji and Tian Ji, and saw that King Qi Wei suddenly sent someone to summon Tian Ji back to Linzi for no reason, and felt that King Qi Wei must have listened to Zou Ji's words, thinking that if Tian Ji returned to Linzi, it would be more auspicious.
Tian Ji helped Sun Bin in the most difficult time, and for a long time, the two have cooperated very well, Sun Bin really can't bear Tian Ji to throw himself into the net, but reminded Tian Ji that the king of Qi must have listened to Zou Ji's words, don't rush back to Linzi by himself, he suggested that Tian Ji lead the army back to Linzi to expel Zou Ji, saying: "If yes, then Qi Jun can be right, and Chenghou Zou Ji can go, otherwise, the general will not be allowed to enter Qi!" ”
Sun Bin said this, in fact, he wanted Tian Ji to raise troops to "Qingjun side", rather than becoming the meat on Zou Ji's board, it is better to make a desperate bet and compete with Zou Ji, in this way, it is possible to survive in death and turn defeat into victory.
Tian Ji has long admired Sun Bin to the ground, obeyed his words, he according to Sun Bin's words, led the army to attack Linzi, but Zou Ji is not an idle person, has already prepared to defend the city, Tian Ji is invincible in the siege of the city, seeing the large gathering of the soldiers of King Qin from all over the country, he had to abandon the army and flee to the Chu State.
And Sun Bin disappeared when Tian Ji attacked Linzi. Legend has it that he found a quiet place, recruited a few students, summarized and studied the knowledge of the art of war and his own combat experience learned in his early years, and wrote 89 articles of "Sun Bin The Art of War".
Even with Sun Bin's ability, he pretended to be crazy and tortured to escape, but in the end he still had to flee into seclusion, and everyone in the world thought that Sun Bin suffered because of Pang Juan and Zou Ji's jealousy, but if you think about it from another angle, the reason why Pang Juan and Zou Ji and others are jealous of Sun Bin is not because Sun Bin is too strong and may threaten themselves? The reason why King Qi Wei was able to listen to Zou Ji's words was not also because Tian Ji held the power of the army? Now Zu Ti has outstanding ability, and there is the loyalty of the people, if the emperor feels that Zu Ti may threaten him, what will happen to Zu Ti in the future, and how can he have a Qi country to escape, with Zu Ti's current situation, it is impossible to escape to the Jin country, because he is a famous general who resists Jin.
It wasn't until today, after listening to Bai Buxin's words at this dinner table, that Wei Qing finally understood why "high merit and master" was a taboo for talented people.
The two men were relatively speechless for a while.
When footsteps sounded, Qi Muge walked up with the dishes, and said with a smile: "Why don't you make a sound!" ”
"The food is so fragrant, we don't even have time to speak!" Bai Buxin replied.
Zu Ti was really busy until the evening, until the time of the shift, he came to see Wei Qing, but not to eat, but to discuss, his face was full of sweat and dust, his voice was hoarse, and when he arrived in Wei Qing's house, he didn't have time to talk to Wei Qing, he threw himself directly to the table, picked up the teapot and poured it into his throat with the spout.
Wei Qing didn't speak, he hurriedly picked up the pastry that Qimuge had just sent from the desk and handed it over, Zu Ti took the pastry, stuffed his stomach in two mouthfuls, picked up the teapot again, drank it cleanly, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said: "General Wei, the last general has something to report!" ”
"Don't worry about it first", Wei Qing looked at Zu Ti busy like this, felt uncomfortable, and said to him: "You sit down and rest for a while, I will ask someone to bring you something to eat, you might as well talk while eating!" ”
Zu Li shook his head: "There is an epidemic in the city, the people are in urgent need of appeasement and relief, and there are liars who are using this to deceive people's hearts, if you don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid that there will be chaos, I have to deal with it after I come to report!" ”
Wei Qing had nothing to answer for a while, he couldn't say that he didn't have to worry about the lives of the people! I had to say: "Ancestral General, you are too tired!" ”
Zu Ti smiled: "The last general has been fighting gold for several years, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and now is the time for the last general to realize his ambitions. ”
Wei Qing only admired Zu Ti in his heart, and he could only pray that Zu Ti would not repeat the past between Sun Bin and Tian Ji.
Zu Ti naturally didn't know what Wei Qing was thinking, he said anxiously: "The last general has been in Hebei for several years, and he has been welcomed by the people everywhere, and the soldiers are very enthusiastic, but now it is strange in this Huainan City, the last general has been on the recruitment list for two whole days, and no one has signed up for the army. ”
