Beijing, Henan Yin, Uncle Guo, He Jin Mansion, Study.

Guo Bin said: "Bin had exchanges with Zhang Liang and others of Taiping Dao, and at that time I felt that they had the intention of rebellion, but it turned out that they wanted to do something in Beijing? Luoyang, the capital teacher, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, how can Xiaoxiao be rampant? ”

Cao Cao said: "If there is a big drought today, there are 100,000 displaced people in Beijing alone, and there are no less than one million displaced people in thirteen states in the world. If Taiping Dao really has the intention of rebellion, coercing the displaced people is the most convenient means. However, the so-called soldiers are elite but not many, such miscellaneous soldiers, only an elite division is needed, and they can be destroyed with their hands covered. It's just that the current trouble of the Han Dynasty is within the court, not outside the court. If the eunuchs are not eliminated for a day, the country will have no peace. ”

Guo Bin had to admire Cao Cao's political vision. The reason why he Guo knew that the Taiping Dao was developing the congregation among the displaced people, and then coercing the displaced people to capture the prefectures and counties was because he was a traversing person. Many of the so-called "secrets" of this era are common sense in Guo Bin's eyes, and they are things that are taken for granted. Because in the 21st century, you only need to pay a little electricity and internet bills to find the information you want on the Internet.

However, the people who grew up in this era did not have an understanding of the general trend of the earth, nor did they have the knowledge of a series of geography, physics, chemistry and other disciplines as a basis for thinking. They can only rely on very limited means such as reading books, hearsay, and personal experience to understand the world. The world in their minds is different from the world in Guo Bin's mind, and the worldview formed by relying on social experience is composed of fragments and fragments.

Take the map as an example, in Guo Bin's mind, Yangzhai County is located in the southeast of Luoyang, the capital division, in the northwest corner of Yingchuan County, so he will embed the coordinates of Yangzhai County into the map in his brain, and if there are other places, they will also embed the corresponding places in the same way.

In the eyes of those who rely on social experience to understand the world, Yang Zhai's position in Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, may be roughly estimated. The road from Yangzhai to Luoyang, with their experience, is to go east, to Changshe, in the northwest and walk for five days and five nights to arrive. The world in their eyes is a node, a line.

In other words, what Guo Bin remembers is a map, while the average person in this era remembers the road. The difference is that people who rely on memorization of directions rely heavily on references. On the way from Yangzhai to Beijing, if you can't find Changshe, you will go farther and farther. Guo Bin can calculate the relative position of Luoyang according to the map in his heart, and after losing the last resort, he can look at the compass, go northwest, and cross the mountains to reach Luoyang.

The simplest example is that many people in their fifties who have never traveled far now have to memorize the road rather than the map. Every time they go out, they will try to remember the scenery and landmark buildings along the way, and they are full of fear of going to unknown places, afraid that they don't know the way, afraid of getting lost. And young people, even if they have never been far away, spread a map on the table, set a location, buy a train ticket and set off. Young people first have a simple map outlining the basic lines in their minds, and have systematic knowledge in their minds, and then through continuous travel, the original blank map is constantly filled; People who know the world by experience are on the endless ice fields like Antarctica, with no sense of direction, and all they can remember is the road they have walked, and they can only look at the footprints on the ground.

The two ways of understanding the world determine the receptivity and understanding of the world cognition of both sides.

The reason why Renjie can become a Renjie is that his IQ is really much higher than that of people in this era? Do they all have two heads? Apparently not. They just have a more simple and quick way of knowing the world, they have an extraordinary way of understanding the world, they can systematize the trivial and messy system, they can reorganize the information, and then fill in the corresponding place in the brain for ready use. As a result, they tend to have a more long-term vision and more advanced insight than the average person. The world they see is the same as the world they see, but the world they know in their minds is different from the world they know.

That's why extremely outstanding characters can get started quickly, draw inferences from others, and have amazing understanding; Ordinary people, on the other hand, are only extremely familiar with the work they have been doing over time.

Cao Cao was able to realize so quickly and clearly that the greatest reason for the Taiping Dao rebellion was because his understanding of the world was more systematic than that of ordinary people, so that he could quickly grasp the crux of the problem. The so-called grasp of the main contradiction is actually to be systematic, but only supported by understanding.

However, He Jin was clearly not interested in Cao Cao's understanding that the worries of the imperial court were not outside. In fact, it is also possible to know that He Jin could not have acted too drastically in the actual operation of high-level politics, because he is one of the few people who can participate in top-level decision-making. High-level politics is never black and white, either/or, but full of struggles and compromises, maybe your allies and your enemies also cooperate, and many times, you have to cooperate with your enemies to win; However, the struggle is often encroached on little by little, and the life-and-death struggle of the white knife entering and the red knife coming out rarely occurs in high-level politics, and once this situation appears, it means a political earthquake and a major reshuffle.

Take the relationship between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants as an example, Queen He was able to enter the Forbidden Palace and get into the eyes of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, so she had to ask the Ten Standing Servants for help; When Queen He poisoned Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren, she was also the ten permanent servants who begged the Son of Heaven to keep the position of the queen. Before, the Ten Standing Servants were the business partners of the Empress Dowager Dong, and it was their joint efforts that persuaded the young Son of Heaven Liu Hong to frantically sell ~ the official mantle.

At the beginning, Empress He was made the queen, and it was inevitable that the Empress Dowager Dong agreed, but now the two sides have become mortal enemies, and they can't wait to pinch each other to death as soon as possible. At the request of the Empress Dowager Dong, the Ten Standing Servants also sought Taiping Dao to assassinate Liu Bian through the exchange of some interests.

Therefore, the relationship between the three parties seems to be a mess, and the forces are intertwined, you have me, I have you, and it is not clear that right and wrong, black and white.

Therefore, it is difficult for He Jin to kill the eunuch, and it is not just caused by He Jin's weak character. Those who think that He Jin is a waste of dim sum are a bit of the self-righteousness of Beijing taxi drivers looking at high-level political games.

At that moment, He Jin said to the three of them: "This time, the three of you will gather in Jingshi for the sake of the Taiping Dao. ”

Guo Bin leaned forward and asked, "Dare to ask Uncle Guo, Brother Meng De and I are both county commanders, and we have no status in Beijing, and Brother Benchu has not yet become a leader, how can we make a difference in the Taiping Dao matter?" ”

He Jindao: "Now there is no shortage of people in Beijing who believe in the Taiping Road, from the imperial court officials to the peddlers and pawns. There is definite information that Ma Yuanyi, a Taiping Taoist who has been active in Beijing recently, is the person sent by Zhang Jiao to Beijing to be responsible for running and liaison. If Ma Yuanyi can be held, he will be able to figure out the specific information of the Taiping Taoist people in Beijing. At that time, according to the map, Zhang Jiao's arrangement in Beijing can be dismantled. This is a major event in history, the three of them are all masterpieces of the world, such a major event, who is the three? ”

The words made the three of them enthusiastic, and even Guo Bin was beating wildly when he heard the four words of the name left in the history.

Guo Bin was secretly surprised in his heart: "It seems that Tang Zhou has leaked secrets to He Jin, but how can he actually catch He Jin's line?" Could it be that he was originally He Jin's person, and He Jin sent him to Taiping Road as an undercover agent? If this is the case, in history, Tang Zhou went straight to the province to report Zhang Jiao's rebellion, and he got a quick response from the imperial court, which can be seen that Tang Zhou's whistleblowing is not as simple as recorded in history. But if Tang Zhou had been He Jin's person from the beginning, things would have been simple. He Jin prepared in advance, and when the time was ripe, Tang Zhou came to inform, and launched an arrest to succeed. successfully stifled Taiping Dao's plan to quickly occupy the capital, and He Jin was also valued by the Son of Heaven. Well, it seems that He Jin can be appointed as a general, and this matter has also played a great role. ”

Thinking of this, Guo Bin looked at He Jin, who was loyal and unwitting, and was secretly vigilant in his heart: "Who said He Jin is a straw bag?" In order to get the position of a general, he was able to set up such a game, and only rushed this point, He Jin was not a simple person. At the same time, the conspiracy theories in Guo Bin's heart began to spread again.

"If He Jin knew that Taiping Dao was going to rebel from the beginning, but buried Tang Zhou's line to control every move of Taiping Dao, and secretly prepared to choose the best time for Tang Zhou to inform. This can not only deal a great blow to the Eastern Han Dynasty, thus shaking the Son of Heaven, but also relying on He Jin, who has made great contributions; can control the situation in his own hands, and will not make the power of the Taiping Dao ~ time bomb beyond his control, and really overthrow the Han Dynasty. Could it be that He Jin is really a person who can play such a big game of chess? ”

For this inference, even Guo Bin could not believe it. However, according to historical records: "In 184 A.D. (the first year of Zhongping), due to the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, He Jin was appointed as a general, and led the five battalions of the Yulin Army to be stationed in Duting to repair equipment to defend the Beijing Division. Ma Yuanyi, a subordinate of the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Jiao, plotted to raise troops in Luoyang, but He Jin cracked it, so he entered the title of Shenhou. ”

From this record, it can be seen that it was He Jin who cracked the plot of Taiping Dao in Beijing, and after that, He Jin was appointed as a general, and because of this merit, he entered the title of Shenhou, which can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of this matter. According to the principle of the dark and heart-wrenching conspiracy theory that "the person who benefits the most in the end is often the designer of the conspiracy", it seems reasonable to identify He Jin as the mastermind of this matter.

Thinking of this, Guo Bin couldn't help but applaud his cleverness and wisdom. However, although he knew this, he had to cooperate with He Jin's plan and could not make changes. Because, the current Guo Bin, including Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the study, these three people who will control the direction of the future Han Dynasty are now just three chess pieces.
