Chapter 6: The Theory of the World
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's topic naturally talked about the Yellow Turban Uprising that had just passed, which showed that this peasant uprising, which was huge and had not yet been completely quelled, had affected the clothing, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The blacksmith of the cow, whose eyes were reddish after drinking, raised his glass and saluted Xiao Yi and asked: "In the opinion of the little immortal master, the Yellow Turban Army was huge at the beginning of the uprising, and within a month, the twenty-eight counties of Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were swept away, and the number of people who raised the incident was as high as one million, occupying the city, killing corrupt officials, opening the treasury, and having the potential to sweep the world, why did it collapse in just one year, and ended in failure.
"Oh! Everyone else calls him the Yellow Turban Thief, you call the Yellow Turban Army, and others call Zhang Jiao Zhang Thief, although you call him by his name, he has a little respect, it seems that the origin of the two blacksmiths is self-evident"; Xiao Yi, who was born in business, is the best at observing words and listening to words!
looked at the old Tao beside him, and the old man raised his hand and said, "No worries, but it's okay to say."
I cleared my throat and looked at the people who were listening attentively on the side, I really felt like talking about storytelling in my previous life, I remember when I was in school, a group of classmates were drinking beer when they had nothing to do, playing the game of "Three Kingdoms", and they all pouted as if they were twenty-five or eighty-thousand, while scolding Liu Bei for being incompetent, Cao Cao for being mentally retarded, and Sima Yi being too timid, while squirting wildly, what if I was in the Three Kingdoms...... All of them are good at hindsight.
Xiao Yi sorted out his thoughts and said: "I have a little shallow opinion below, please advise, it is said that at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Incident, it had the tendency to sweep the world, but in my opinion, there are four major flaws, so it will fail." ”
"First, the pattern of Zhang Jiao is too small, the Yellow Turban Army is based on Taoism, and can only recruit the dull people at the bottom, but it cannot be supported by Confucian scholars with real talent and learning, so after the incident, the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army is not only a huge official army, but also powerful large and small armed forces in various places, they are facing the crazy suppression of the entire world's corporal clan, and they can not be defeated with their own strength against the whole world; Those who do not have the hearts of scholars are rare in the world. This heart is also defeated!
Second, the organization was not tight, the work was not prudent enough, and the improper use of personnel led to the plan being told by the traitors, and Nei Ying was killed, and had to be launched in a hurry, resulting in great difficulties in the mutual cooperation between the Yellow Turban Army in various localities. As the saying goes: the king does not lose his ministers, the ministers do not lose his secrets, and if he does not keep secrets, he will become harmful. This matter is also lost!
Third, Zhang Jiao's subordinates lacked strategically minded military generals, such as Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao, Bocai, and Zhang Mancheng, who could only draw talismans and pretend to be ghosts, did not know how to march and fight, and did not quickly assemble after the move, but scattered in various places to stick to a city and a pool, or besieged the city for a long time, and fought with the Han army. You must know: the land is lost, and the land is lost! Save people and lose land, and people and land are gained! This is a slight defeat!
Third, the generals sent by the imperial court to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao, were all resourceful and capable of fighting well. This will be a failure! ”
With these four defeats, that horn will not die!
After he finished speaking, the blacksmith who listened to the cow was dumbfounded, and his tongue almost stuck out to the ground; The cobbler didn't seem to react, but the cold light in his eyes and the trembling hand holding the wine bowl showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed; The blacksmith on the side knew that his second brother's hands would never tremble.
Even Lao Dao nodded slightly, and Da Niu and Ma Liu had already listened to it as if they were fascinated, and their eyes at Xiao Yi were like looking at the statues in the Taoist temple, so they almost lit incense and worshipped.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Xiao Yat himself wondered if there was really a circle of light flashing above his head; No matter how much I touched my back, I didn't grow wings!
If it is in the 21st century, a person who knows a little about history can say one, two, three, four, but in this era, through the fog, beyond the limitations of history, the --- "true gods" who can comprehensively summarize the reasons for the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising!
The bull blacksmith changed his appearance and bowed again: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" It's really like an initiation, relieving us of the clouds in our hearts for several years. ”
After another bowl of wine, the blacksmith and the cobbler fell into deep thought, and after half a ring, the blacksmith and the cobbler glanced at each other, as if passing some kind of news, and asked word by word: "Knowing the defeat of the past, the current Shangling Emperor is greedy for pleasure and ignores state affairs, and the 'Ten Standing Servants' control the government, the country and the people, the government oppresses, and the people are not happy. ”
Looking at the blacksmith father and son in front of him, although he looked at the wine bowl, he pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word, and the hand on the table unconsciously scratched five marks on the table.
I looked at the old way on the side with my eyes slightly closed, as if I was asleep.
After a long time, Xiao Yi continued categorically: "There is no one! ”
"Why? Please ask the little immortal master for advice? As if they had been broken by cold water, the crowd hurriedly asked:
"Jun and others know that the Yellow Turban has four defeats, but they don't know that the court still has four victories." Xiao Yat said meaningfully.
"The feeling of pretending to be forced is not ordinarily good, you must know that I used to drink, brag, and pretend to be forced with my classmates and roommates, and every time Xiao Yat couldn't pretend to be them, and I was deeply ashamed of it."
"First: the Han family is the orthodoxy of the world, the country has been established for more than 400 years, the roots are deep, the people have become accustomed to the rule of the Han family, and are supported by the scholars of the world, this orthodox fame, sometimes can be exchanged for swords, guns and horses, the top of the army of millions;
Second, the Han family is in Luoyang, living in the middle of the world, overlooking the Central Plains, and about the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan as the backup, once the Kwantung counties change, they can send troops to suppress it as soon as possible, and strangle the flames of the uprising in swaddling clothes.
Third, although the Han dynasty is in decline, it has accumulated a lot of savings for hundreds of years, the quality of government officials is relatively high, the division of labor is clear, the treasury is fully prepared, the army is well-trained, and the war experience is rich.
Fourth: There are still many loyal ministers in the Han family, Wu has Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and other generals to lead the army, Wen has Situ Wang Yun, Shang Shu and the like of Sun Rui, loyal to the country, although its power is declining, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff!
After finishing speaking, Lao Dao's slightly closed eyes opened, and he looked at Xiao Yi like looking at a piece of jade that had not yet been carved.
As for the blacksmith, everyone was already looking up at Xiao Yi, and the figure of the 14-year-old boy looked extremely tall in their eyes.
"In this way, the country of the Han family can be fixed forever for ten thousand years?" The tangerine tanner, who had not spoken for a long time, finally raised a question?
Xiao Yi, who had already pretended to be forced to pretend to be feeling, waved his hand and said:
"How can there be an eternal country, as the so-called, a hundred years of dynasty, a thousand years of toast, and a 10,000-year family."
Think that Xia 500 years, Yin Shang 600 years, Zhou and things are divided, the Western Zhou Dynasty 300 years, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty 500 years, and then Qin Yingzheng swept Liuhe, the tiger swallowed the world, but the three generations died, only 15 years, and then, Gaozu beheaded the White Snake uprising, three years of peace of Qin, five years of extermination of Chu, to Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty has gone through more than 200 years, since Guangwu Zhongxing, it is also 200 years......
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was extinguished by the imperial court, the stars were scattered all over the world, and in a few years, I am afraid that there would be a comeback, and the foundation of the Han court was shaken by the impact of the uprising, and Emperor Ling failed to learn a lesson and was still obsessed with pleasure. Now the state herds support the self-respect, the prestige of the imperial court has plummeted, and it is no longer possible to effectively control the locality, but I am afraid that when the storm rises again, it is the day when the Han Dynasty falls apart...... That Taoyuan ......"
'Stop! Xiao Yi decisively stopped talking, wiped a cold sweat, and said in his heart, "If you keep talking, something will happen." ”
After a few words, Xiao Yi gained five hearts, one is the determination of the old way, and the 'out of the dust' who has been hesitating for many days finally made up his mind today.
The two are the confused hearts of blacksmiths and leathersmiths, and the answers that the two have been unable to find after thinking about them for several years finally suddenly became clear.
The last two are the worship hearts of Da Niu and Ma Liu, and from this moment on, the two of them regard Xiao Yi as gods and follow them all their lives, even in the most difficult days.
