Gao Ran is a wise general and is very good at judging the situation.

But in the historical records, he belongs to the ordinary kind. The literati and writers did not pay much attention to him.

But he can be listed among the "Four Pillars of Hebei", alongside Yan Liangwen Chou and Zhang He, which shows that he is also brave.

However, on this day, he inspected the city wall of Fuyang, the county of Bohai County (now Jiuzhou Town, Cangzhou County, Hebei Province).

I saw black smoke billowing in the distance, obscuring the sky and the sun. When they got closer, they were waving flags, boundless war horses were flying, the sound of horses' hooves was in the sky, and the ground in Fuyang City was trembling.

The soldiers of the Yuan family were shocked and frightened by the military might of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. His hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't hold his weapons tightly.

Gao Ran looked around and sighed, how could such morale be able to hold on.

The military advisor next to him, Xin Bi, said: "It's better for me to go out of the city and negotiate peace with the champion Hou."

Gao Ran glanced at Xin Bi and smiled bitterly in his heart: With Gongsun Kang's strength, he will either fight to the death or surrender happily, how can he talk about peace? Cession or reparation?

But he didn't object, it's always the same way, isn't it? What if Gongsun Kang's brain is hot, agrees to live in peace, and retreats?

So Gao Ran hugged his fists and said solemnly: "Then there is a labor division."

Gongsun Kang set up a large camp outside the city, and the camp stretched for ten miles, and the regiments surrounded Fuyang. You can't see the edge at a glance.

Xin Bi came to the outside of Gongsun Kang's camp and asked the soldiers to inform him to see Gongsun Kang.

When Gongsun Kang heard that it was Xinbi coming, he was overjoyed and personally came to the gate of the camp to greet him.

Xin Bi was flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "How can the foreign minister, how can he be greeted by the Marquis of Lao Champion in person?" ”

Gongsun Kang stepped forward quickly, shook Xin Bi's hand and said, "Mr. George is a famous man in Yangzhai, I have admired your name for a long time, and I can't wait to see you." I finally saw me today. ”

Xinbi, the word George, Yingchuan Yang Zhai people. He was moved to tears, and immediately introduced the champion Hou as a confidant in his heart.

The two talked and laughed, walked side by side, and walked until they walked into the big tent of the Chinese army before they sat down as guests and hosts.

Gongsun Kang introduced Zhicai, Li Shanchang, Jia Xu, Xu Miao and other famous people in Liaodong to Xin Bi.

Everyone admired each other for a long time, and it was humble.

Why does Gongsun Kang attach so much importance to Xin Biran? Of course, because Simbi is a talent.

Simbisu is known for his integrity and strict law enforcement.

There's a little story in history called Prima Fighting:

In the first year of the early Huang dynasty (220), Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi wanted to migrate 100,000 families from Jizhou to Luoyang.

At that time, there were years of drought, locust plagues were raging, and there was a severe famine in the Central Plains.

The ministers all thought that it was not appropriate to do this in a year of famine, and Emperor Wei Wen was stubborn and insisted on going his own way.

Xin Bi, who served as a waiter, resolutely opposed it and advised again, wanting Emperor Wei Wen to take back his fate.

Emperor Wei Wendi was very angry and said to Xin Bi, "I don't want to talk to you about this. ”

Xin Bi said calmly: "Since Your Majesty doesn't think that the ministers are unscrupulous, let the ministers follow you." The discussion of the secret room, the discussion of the court, the ministers should all ask and deal with it, pick up the missing and make up for the shortcomings, how can Your Majesty not discuss with the ministers? What's more, what the minister is talking about is not a personal matter, it is a matter of social safety, and the minister can't help but say it! ”

Emperor Wei Wen was speechless, stood up and wanted to go back to the harem, Xin Bi grabbed his clothes and didn't let go, Emperor Wei Wen took back his clothes and returned to the palace stupidly.

After a while, his anger subsided a little, and he came out again and asked Simbi: "George, why are you so hard against me? ”

Xin Bi said sincerely: "In such a famine year, forcibly relocating them to Henan, and having no food to relieve them, will make them resentful and lose their hearts, so I have to fight for Your Majesty to take back your life!" ”

Emperor Wen of Wei ordered the relocation of 50,000 households, which cannot but be said to be the result of Xinbi's struggle, but even so, it was still a huge migration of people, which brought great difficulties to the migrating people.

Emperor Wei Wendi liked to hunt, and once when he was in his entourage, Emperor Wei Wendi said: "What a pleasure to hunt!" ”

Simbi said, "You are very happy for Your Majesty, but you are suffering for your ministers. After that, Emperor Wei rarely hunted.

From this little story, it can be seen that Xinbi is still a good person, and he is thinking about the people of the world, and he is barely a virgin. Just bright and upright, righteous and bowing, Yahu Ji is gloomy.

Gongsun Kang asked Xin Bi: "Why did Mr. George come?" ”

Simbi replied, "Coming for peace?" ”

Gongsun Kang laughed, and he said, "Does Gao Ran have any conditions to negotiate peace with me?" ”

Old Xin Bi's face turned red and said: "The war is chaotic, and the people have been killed and injured countless times, which is not a good thing after all. ”

Gongsun Kang Zheng'er replied: "The unification of the world is the trend of the times. Mr. George thinks that many people died in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Or was the number of people who died in the four hundred years after the unification of the Han Dynasty? ”

Seeing Xin Bi's embarrassed face, Gongsun Kang did not continue to be aggressive. He changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Mr. George has a son and a daughter, I don't know where your family is now?" ”

Xin Bi didn't know why Gongsun Kang asked his family, and subconsciously replied: "Now Yecheng."

"Okay" Gongsun Kang said: "I will fly the pigeon to pass the book, and let the subordinates of Yecheng take the family of Mr. to Liaodong." Sir, you can work under my account with peace of mind, and don't go back to Fuyang."

"But." Xin Bi's face was red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to argue with reason.

"Don't!" Gongsun Kang interrupted him and said: "My Liaodong's strong crossbow and sharp arrows don't have long eyes, in case I accidentally hurt Mr. George, I feel distressed!" ”

Xin Bi was moved by Gongsun Kang, and the world-famous champion Hou attached so much importance to him, he couldn't help but know how to lift him. So he stayed in the Liaodong military camp.

So does Gongsun Kang really value talents?

The importance of fart! Frustration is much more talented than Xinbi, and Gongsun Kang still doesn't care about releasing Frustration back to Jizhou.

Gongsun Kang repeatedly kept Xinbi, really because Xinbi had a good daughter.

Xinbi's daughter: Xin Shi (191-269), the name Xianying. Yingchuan Yangzhai people.

Xin Xianying is smart and talented, good at appreciating people and governors, once advised his younger brother to be loyal to his duties, and predicted that Zhonghui would rebel.

Xin Xianying is known for her wisdom, and in the old days, there were singers who called Xin Xianying's wisdom, Cao E's filial piety, Mulan's Zhen, Cao Lingnu's Festival, Su Ruolan's talent and Meng Jiang's martyrdom, all of which were called outstanding.

Gongsun Kang fell in love with Xin Xianying's wisdom, no matter what she looked like, he wanted to marry her family and use it to improve the genes of her offspring. Therefore, he was polite to the prospective father-in-law Xin Bi and put his heart into his heart.

In history, Yuan Tan retreated to Pingyuan County, and while defending it, he sent his advisor Xin Bi to Cao Cao to surrender the table and ask for help.

Cao Cao asked Xin Bi: "Did your boss really surrender or fake surrender?"

Xin Bi said: "Don't ask him whether he really surrendered or fake, his feud with Yuan Shang is always true, which is beneficial to you, why don't you send troops to help and reap the benefits of the fisherman?" ”

Looking at Xin Bi's tone, he did not surrender for Yuan Tan, but for himself, and later he actually became an important person in the Wei State.

In the evening of the same day, Gongsun Kang hosted a banquet to entertain Xinbi.

During the banquet, the wine was hot, and the reason why the Yuan brothers turned against each other was discussed. Everyone was full of emotion.

There is an old saying: "When brothers work together, their profits will be gold." "If you can't practice this truth, 99% of them have suffered big losses, such as the great warlord Yuan Shao, who has had brothers turning against each other for two consecutive generations, and the final outcome is more tragic.

Historically, the entire Yuan family's foundation was played by these three brothers and fell apart, not because they were inferior to Cao Cao, but because his father Yuan Shao had too serious a preference for children since childhood, ignored the hereditary rules of the eldest and youngest, and did not stop the dispute between the party and the henchmen in time, which caused the three brothers to be unconvinced by each other, and finally gave up the entire huge territory in northern Hebei.
