Chapter 5: Toward Unification, Section 80 (II)

Chapter 5: Toward Unification, Section 80 (II)

Liu Bei took a deep breath and replied: "It is easy to unify the world, but it is difficult to unify people's hearts. Although the politics of Qingzhou are good, after the unification of the world, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be turned into decay. After the reunification of the world, the new policy is implemented with authority, and the new policy is nothing but a 'people's government', and in the end it cannot avoid the fate of the people who will die and the government will rest, and I cannot maintain the fate of the people in the world on the goodness of the rulers. I had to create a rule, a rule of checks and balances. I also want to set a precedent, a precedent for change through negotiation rather than bloody slaughter. This is a hundred-year plan, Wen Ruo, if this is done, a hundred years later, we will also be recited by the mouth because of this initiative. ”

When Liu Bei said this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Everything in the world is people-oriented." The way of governance, the people are safe, and the world is safe. In the government of Qingzhou, the people are rich and happy, but the smoke of Shenzhou is everywhere, and the people of the world are in dire straits. The princes attacked each other in the wilderness, and the four poles and eight wildernesses were full of devastation; The blood of the people flowed like a river, and the five lakes and three rivers were all red. My Qingzhou is rich, what benefit does it benefit the people of the world? Guangrao and Izumo are prosperous for a while, what is the benefit of being a famous city in the world? Now my relatives, I want to be old and old, young and young, so that the world is as good as Qingzhou, and I hope that the blessings of the world will be shared with others, and it will be happy! ”

Sun Cao has seen the strength of Qingzhou, and is involuntarily learning from Qingzhou, the train of the times has started, what Liu Bei needs to do now is to add another fire.

In the south, Cao Mengde traveled all the way and entered Pingyin City. Sun Quan reluctantly began to set off for the north. Behind the two of them, the transformation has been in full swing, and the fate of the Chinese nation has since departed from its inherent trajectory. Liu Bei, who was standing at the top of the Lei Lou Tower, seemed to hear the rumbling sound of the wheels of history.

At this moment, a new era has arrived.

Cao Mengde came too quickly, the preparations for Pingyin City had not yet been completed, and Cao Cao, who had already prepared for the worst, did not stop doing anything, and asked to go straight to Guangrao to meet Liu Bei. The Pingyin guards did not dare to stop it, and let Cao Cao enter proudly.

"Good guts", Liu Bei, who received the report, praised the case. Compared with Sun Quan's hesitation, Cao Cao really deserves to be a generation of heroes.

"Let him come, Pingyin is just a border fortress, and it can't reflect the appearance of my Qingzhou. Brother Meng De counted into Qingzhou, but they were all met with strict battle. If you can't see Qingzhou's true appearance, Brother Cao must be unwilling. Orders are given to all localities not to be hindered along the way, and to allow them to move freely. Liu Bei stood proudly at the top of the Lei Lou Tower and gave an order to the Governor's Mansion.

The more Cao Cao and his entourage went deep into Qingzhou, the more they felt that the scenery of Qingzhou was different from other places. Logging is prohibited in Qingzhou, and the woods on both sides of the road have only become giant trees with abundant fruits after only more than ten years of respite. The buildings in Qingzhou, which have abandoned the civil structure, are all made of boulders and cement, which is particularly tall and majestic. Since a year ago, Qingzhou merchants obtained Daqin's concrete formula, cement has become the cheapest building material, and it has penetrated into the homes of ordinary people. Along the way, Cao Cao saw stone pillars and giant houses made of cement pouring everywhere, making the entire land of Qingzhou full of fortresses and more and more impregnable.

"Ten years, it only took ten years of work, Liu Xuande turned Qingzhou into a huge fortress, the world said that Xuande Gong was clever in governing the government, and this is honest and does not deceive me", Cao Cao said to himself with feeling. And the emperor was in high spirits on the following carriage.

"More than that", Cheng Yu, who was with him, Xun You reminded: "Lord, where do you look-Qingzhou, it is still a big arsenal." Three or two Qingzhou people wander alone, a military horn can be sounded in a row, according to the military rank mark automatically formed into a team, several squads together is an army, tend to be able to fight, the battle can win. Lord, all this is the role of the Privilege Act and the Military Merit Reward and Punishment Order, I have been working for several years, and I only learned Liu Bei's military system, but I don't know how to use it to manage the people, which is wrong. ”

Following the guidance of Cheng Yu and others, Cao Cao turned his gaze to the side path.

It was a large road parallel to the main road, and a military force with no edge in sight was marching silently on the side road. This army was brightly armoured, with clear swords and guns, and the soldiers held their heads high, but they were silent, and they only cared about marching. Tens of thousands of feet fell to the ground, only a short muffled sound, and the whole team marched, only the sound of continuous footsteps resounded through the world. Occasionally, there were several chariots and horses in the procession, and several officers and men sat on the chariots, but the faint sound of the chariots and horses was immediately annihilated in the footsteps that filled the heavens and the earth.

"Quickly summon the forbidden to come", Cao Cao hurriedly ordered.

"Wen Ze, you see, is this army a standing army or a city guard army?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked Yu Ban, who rushed over.

"It's not a standing army, it's not a city guard", Yu Ban hesitated for a moment, and told the truth ruthlessly: "Lord, this army is not even a reserve. This is a civilian army, a temporary conscription of civilians, who are not even equipped with numbers and flags, or, when they arrive at the assembly area, they will be assigned to the armies and become a supplementary source of troops. ”

Cao Cao's heart was heavy: "People often say: Although the country is big, the belligerent will perish." Why is Liu Bei getting stronger and stronger? It is often said that a gentleman does not speak for profit. But why did Liu Bei get richer the more he said that the people became? People often say: gold, silver, pearls and jade can not eat and thirst can not drink, strange lewd skills, corrupt folk customs, businessmen are mercenary, the way to govern the country, when the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, so that people's hearts are uplifted, and the people are happy. But why does Liu Bei value business, attach importance to strange and obscene skills, and the people don't think it's bitter? People often say: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death, must not be ignored. But why did Liu Bei repeatedly raise troops, but the people were happy to die? Not only that, but even the surrounding people are envious of this kind of life and rush in, lest it be too late? Don't? Is it really like what Liu Bei said, the ancient model is too fallacious? ”

If Liu Bei can even train a farmer to be so disciplined and unified, then Qingzhou Cheng cannot compete with him.

In Xuzhou, Sun Quan entered Pengcheng with a huge escort and was warmly welcomed by Chen Deng.

"Sun Gong", Sun Quan had been clamoring for the imperial court to make him a general not long ago, and even Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not dare to covet the position of this general, but Sun Quan was like a naughty child who was bent on getting candy, and he did not give up. At this meeting, Chen Deng didn't know what to call Sun Quan, so he had to call him "Sun Gong" in general.

"Sun Gong, the great prime minister Cao Mengde has entered Pingyin, but he did not stay and went directly to Guangrao. Will Sun Gong turn to Guangrao, or will his goal remain the same and wait for the meeting to be held in Pingyin? Chen Deng asked modestly.

"To Pingyin," Sun Quan said without hesitation.

"Lord, the law does not blame the public - it is best to follow the crowd", Zhang Hong, a celebrity, reminded Sun Quan meaningfully.

Sun Quan was stunned, but he couldn't turn the corner for a while, so he asked without words: "Why didn't Yuanlong go to Pingyin to attend the meeting?" ”

Chen Deng replied indifferently: "The Pingyin party is not something that people of my level can participate in if they want to. Besides, Xuande Gong convened a meeting, and as soon as the news came out, the messengers of the princes flocked to it, and they did not dare to enter Qingzhou to make noise to Xuande Gong, so they had to come to me to say something. I still have to be here to clear up the troubles for Xuande Gong. ”

"Oh", when Sun Quan heard this, he immediately felt very embarrassed, and asked curiously: "Princes and messengers, who are the people here?" ”

"Yizhou Zhang Song, Jingzhou Wang Ji, Jiaozhou Shixie envoy Zhang Min, Xiliang envoy Huang Yan (Jiuquan Taishou), and so on."

Sun Quan took this opportunity and changed the topic: "Since Gong Cao has gone to Guangrao, then we will go too." ”
