Chapter 377: Taking History as a Mirror

Guo Jia received the news, and after some quarrels and games, the Son of Heaven agreed to Wang Yun's suggestion, rewarded military merits, worshiped Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong, and still led the commander of the school, presided over the military of Chang'an, and recruited displaced people as soldiers. The general of the West was relocated, and Huangfu Song was the general of the chariot cavalry. Bai Ma Teng was the general of the expedition to the west and was stationed in Yi County. Han Sui was the general of Zhenxi and stationed in martial arts. Both of them are under the control of Huangfu Song.

Under the operation of Huan Dian, Ding Chong and others, Wang Yun worshiped Sun Jian as the general of the expedition to the east, led the Yuzhou pastor, and was controlled by the Taiwei Zhu Jun. Sun Ce was the general of the rebellion, and Zhou Yu was the general of Jianwei, and he led the troops westward into Chang'an, defending the Son of Heaven, and returning to Cao Cao's control.

Because Yuan Shu's biological father Yuan Feng and eldest brother Yuan Ji were dead, Yuan Shu's heir Yuan Feng was posthumously recognized as the Marquis of An Guoting, and the number of households was increased by 300 to show consolation. Yuan Shu is dead, and he is called Xuanwu, and his son Yuan Yao is the heir.

The edict has been issued, but Chang'an is in a mess, and there are Xiliang soldiers in chaos, the function of the post pavilion is basically paralyzed, and the post horses are incomplete, which is not as fast as Guo Jia's meticulous work.

After reading the news, Sun Ce noticed that Lu Bu was ignored, Niu Fu and others were also ignored, and the imperial court did not recognize his control of Nanyang County.

But he didn't care. Whether the court admits it or not, Nanyang is his, and no one can snatch it. For the edict, now it is to take the essence and discard the dross. The general accepted the seal, continued to occupy it, and sent troops to Chang'an to listen to Cao Cao's moderation? It's a joke. That defeated general became the general of Zhendong, and Lao Tzu is the miscellaneous general, and you still have to listen to his moderation? Blind your dog's eye.

However, the rebellious general is very familiar, isn't it Sun Ce's official position in history.

On the way to welcome Zhang Hong back to the camp, Sun Ce reported the news to Zhang Hong as soon as possible, which was not only to express trust, but also to interview. Zhang Hong tested him, and he also took the test Zhang Hong, and the courtesy was still exchanged. He knew that Zhang Hong was a talent and loyal, but the historical records were rough after all, and he could only see him reminding Sun Ce to be cautious, dissuading Sun Quan from breaking through the formation, and suggesting that Sun Quan build the capital Moling, and his letter to Sun Quan before his death also shows that he is well versed in the way of getting along with monarchs and ministers, and it is conceivable that he is not a famous man like Zhang Zhao, but since he wants to be a monarch and minister, it is always good to know more.

Besides, he invited Zhang Hong so ceremoniously, it is difficult to guarantee that Guo Jia has no ideas, and letting Zhang Hong show his ability will also help to cooperate.

Zhang Hong obviously knew it, he put down the silk book and glanced at Guo Jia first. "Feng Xiao must be in charge of the military situation, and he has no last resort to fight."

Guo Jia arched his hand with a grin. "Mr. is falsely praised, and he dare not be. I do some chores around the general, and occasionally check and make up for mistakes, which is of little use. ”

"If you are of little use, but you can serve as a military sacrifice wine, then I will doubt the general's employment." Zhang Hong made a joke and eased the atmosphere. "Whenever a case is decided, first, we must understand human feelings and find out the truth and falsehood; Second, we must be good at surveying and visiting neighbors. There are few people who are good at judging cases, and even fewer people who can judge cases for decades without making mistakes, and it is not just those who know the law. Yang Zhai Guo's family is a small Du Lu heirloom, you inherited the family education at a young age, you must be good at speculating on people's hearts, and you are good at collecting information, you can see through the truth from the clues, and it should be your handwriting to arrange detailed work to find out the news. ”

The smile on Guo Jia's face gradually faded, and then he gave it up again, no longer having a trace of frivolity. "What the gentleman says, in every sentence."

"After the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism and law were established one after another, and the Qin State was strong with law, dominating the world, and the Legalists were at their peak. But after only more than ten years, the Qin Dynasty collapsed, why not? ”

Sun Ce listened quietly and did not express an opinion. Zhang Hong did not ask questions, but expounded his views on the way of governance, mixed with Guo Jia's personal evaluation, he just had to listen carefully. He has heard too much about Qin's death by law, and later generations of experts and scholars have commented that Jia Yi has the highest opinion, and future generations will not surpass his level. Still, he wanted to hear what Zhang Hong had to say.

"Because the territory is vast and there are many affairs, and the Legalists are strict and strive to control everything. Qin Shi Huang approved documents day and night, and could not rest until night, but refused to share the responsibility with others, just for the power in hand. The kings of later generations are either incapable and can only appoint cronies around them, or they are unbearable and desolate the government. Therefore, the first emperor died at fifty, and the second emperor died in a few years. ”

Sun Ce had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately understood what Zhang Hong meant.

Qin Shi Huang died at the age of fifty, and as far as the emperor is concerned, his life span is not long. This is actually a very abnormal phenomenon.

It is true that emperors have a short life, but Qin Shi Huang is not among them. In addition to personal factors, there are roughly two reasons for the emperor's short life, one is that the marriage of close relatives leads to congenital insufficiency, according to the scientific theory of later generations, that is, the probability of genetic disease is high, and the other is that there are too many women and are not temperate enough. But this was not the case with Qin Shi Huang. His parents are not close relatives, he grew up in Zhao since he was a child, and he is in good health. Although there are many women in his palace and many children, he is not very lascivious, he does not even have a queen, and he does not particularly favor any concubine.

There are a few people who work late into the night for many years and waste their energy on women.

He should have lived a long life, but his long-term high workload destroyed his health. He was actually exhausted. Considering that he asked for immortals in his later years, it can be roughly concluded that his body will be declining after forty, and asking for immortals is not so much about wanting to live forever as about restoring his health.

For a man, thirty to forty years old is the time when his vitality is at its most vigorous, and he can't see it when he is tired, but once he is past forty, his health will be highlighted, and if he is not careful, he will often die early. Qin Shi Huang was like this, and so was Guo Jia in front of him, he was less than forty when he died. In the past, he always thought that Guo Jia's early death was due to congenital deficiencies, but now that he thinks about it, too much work is also a factor that cannot be ignored. He had just mastered Yuzhou, and there were only more than 100 people in the fine work team, and Guo Jia was already so busy that he rarely had time to rest normally.

There is another more typical example than Guo Jia: Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is synonymous with dedication, and he is standard tired. He was fifty-four years old when he died, which does not seem to be an early death, but considering that he only took power after Liu Bei's death, it was only about ten years before and after, which was actually about the same time as Guo Jia served under Cao Cao's account. If he had been given a heavy responsibility by Liu Bei as soon as he came out of the mountain, maybe Liu Bei's road to hegemony would have been smoother, but Zhuge Liang would probably have died earlier.

Coincidentally, he is also a Legalist, and he likes to do everything himself.

Zhang Hong noticed Sun Ce's face and knew that he understood what he meant, at least he understood, and he was both surprised and excited. Reading more books does not mean that you understand more things, but also depends on understanding, and understanding is innate. Zhang Liang explained the "Taigong Art of War" for others, and few people understood it, but Liu Bang explained it to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang understood it as soon as he heard it, this is understanding. Zhang Liang decided to follow Liu Bang because he took a fancy to Liu Bang's understanding.

Obviously, Sun Ce's understanding is also very high.

"This is true for the monarch, and the same is true for the country, behind every detail is the consumption of a large amount of manpower and material resources. Its goodness lies in being able to do the best of the whole country, and do whatever it takes, leaving no one behind, so although the people of Qin are not more than the six countries, and Qin can destroy the six countries. The evil lies in the fact that the people are struggling to make a living. In the world of great controversy, it can still be reluctantly done, the six countries are destroyed, and the south is fighting for Yue, the north is conquering Hu, and the world is bitter Qin, so Chen Sheng can lift the pole and rise, climb high and shout, and the strong Qin land collapses. ”

Zhang Hong stretched out his hand and pointed to the north. "Daze Township is not far from here. Taking history as a mirror, is it just an empty word? ”
