Chapter 4 Section 11 Order

Luoyang, New Year's Day, after issuing an edict to change the name of the year, hundreds of officials first went to the Xiangguo Mansion to congratulate, and then led by Dong Zhuo into the palace to meet the emperor. and dispersed after leaving the shift, Dong Zhuo returned to the mansion and convened a group of fox friends and dog friends for an all-night feast. About the 15th later, the Lantern Festival lantern banquet will be arranged again, and the reunion will be celebrated. At this time, an alarm came from outside, and 14 Kanto (east of the Kushan Mountain) herdsmen and guards condemned him, claiming to take his life to thank the countrymen.

When Dong Zhuo saw the text accusing him of sin, the first thing was to abolish the young emperor. Although the young emperor has been deposed as the king of Hongnong, he still lives in the Beijing mansion, and it will eventually be a trouble, so it is better to cut the grass and kill him, so as not to worry about him. He immediately ordered Li Rulu to kill King Hongnong.

King Hongnong said goodbye to his concubine Tang Ji, and sang with tears:

"Heaven is easy, why is it difficult for me? Abandon the ten thousand times and retreat to the domain! The rebel ministers see that their lives are difficult to prolong, and they will pass away! ”

Tang Ji heard the song, danced for King Hongnong and said goodbye, danced and cried, and cried and sang:

"After the emperor collapsed, the earth fell, and as the emperor, his life was destroyed; Death and life are different, and I will be sad in my heart! ”

King Hongnong was sad when he heard the song, and he lost his voice in the opposite direction. Li Ru urged on the side: "Xiangguo will wait for the return." ”

Urging him, Wang Hongnong took the wine and said to Tang Ji: "Qing is the princess, and she can no longer be the wife of the people, fortunately, she loves herself since then!" Tang Ji couldn't suppress her tears.

King Hongnong drank the wine and died of poison at the age of fifteen.

Meanwhile. After the sour jujube oath, the princes began to feast each other to celebrate the completion of the oath. On the fifteenth day of the first month, the banquet was not over. Dong Zhuo has received the news, and the army has begun to collect and deploy to Geguan Gorge. Among them, Lu Bu led the state army to be stationed in Chenggao City next to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Xu Rong led the Liangzhou Army to be stationed in Xingyang City in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

The sour jujube swore to Dong Meng, in addition to baking a fart, so that Dong Zhuo had enough time to prepare, the princes did their best to woo, squeeze out, and annex. He also contributed a lot to Dong Zhuo.

After Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe arrived at Sour Zao, due to the small number of soldiers he brought and was discriminated against, he was only appointed to join the army for Yuan Shao, and the 3,000 city guards he brought were immediately incorporated into his own army by Yuan Shao. Jiao Heben came from the Yuan family, and he didn't care about this kind of treatment, and followed Yuan Shao around every day.

On the 15th day of the first month, Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu, could not stand the daily banquets and banquets of the princes, and angrily demanded that the princes' entire army be dispatched to Luoyang. was rejected by Yuan Shao, this is his third request, and it is also the third time that Yuan Shao refuses.

Cao Cao was extremely angry, wandering at the gate of the camp, suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of the camp, looking into the distance, the army that had been black and oppressive approached the gate of the camp, and set up a position in a stone's throw away.

The panic at the camp gate spread to the whole camp, and Yuan Shao and others hurriedly put on their helmets and armor and came to the camp gate to mobilize the army. Bao Xin, who had just delivered grain and grass back to the camp, also hurried over, and saw Cao Cao standing at the gate of the camp, standing in the wind, angry and majestic. Then he stepped forward, took Cao Cao's hand, and tightened it to show comfort.

Yuan Shao asked in a panic: "The enemy army has arrived at the gate of the camp, forcing the camp to stand, our army cannot leave the camp, how to meet the battle?" ”

Cao Cao suggested: "It's okay, you can order the soldiers in the battalion to demolish the camp tent, make room for the formation, and wait for the formation to be completed, and then push the wall of the dao wall to resist the enemy." ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and immediately ordered the soldiers to act accordingly. Bao Xin hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, there is a bear on the other party's military flag, this is Liu Xuande's army in Qingzhou." We can send someone to ask them about their intention to force the camp to go to the village, Xuande Gong is not an unreasonable person. ”

Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu let out a sneer and said, "If Liu Bei is reasonable, he will not be able to get promoted for many years because of beating the forbidden army." ”

Cao Cao refuted sharply: "At this moment, the other party's army is forcing the camp gate, how can we say these words, we can tear down the camp tent and prepare for the battle, and at the same time send people to ask Xuande Gong's intentions, where is the history of Qingzhou Thorn?" Going up and asking? ”

Yuan Shao immediately stopped Jiao He's actions: "Wait, there are already people in the opposing camp." Liu Bei is just a little Qi State Minister, and no one of us has an official position here, so let him come to see us. ”

Cao Cao showed a look of disdain on his face, at this moment, the other party's army is forcing the camp gate, what is his identity?

Bao Xin stepped forward and took Cao Cao's hand, secretly exerting force in his hand.

Yuan Shao looked at the few people who came over in Liu Bei's camp, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi, did he still take his teacher with him when he went to war?" ”

These words are obviously ridiculing, Liu Bei is a child who doesn't grow up. Laughter rang out, and everyone looked at Liu Bei's army with a relaxed face.

The army of about 20,000 men was neatly arranged in a square formation, with bright armor and bright swords and guns. All the soldiers looked ahead, as if they were breathing at the same frequency, and could not find a single murmur. In the silence, a murderous aura was revealed.

Yuan Shao saw that Lu Zhi and the others were still a little far away from them, so he hurried up and asked, "Is this the army of Qingzhou or the army of Qi County." ”

Jiao He replied: "This is the strongest army in Qingzhou: the first and second armies of Xunchi, I didn't expect Liu Xuande to be so generous, willing to take out the treasure of Qingzhou's pressing box." ”

Yuan Shao's spirit was shocked, and he said happily: "Ah, that's really good." ”

Jiao He came from the Yuan family, and the army he brought was taken over by Yuan Shao, and Jiao He, who was in different armies, didn't care about it. If the army that came was Liu Bei's own private army, then Yuan Shao still had some scruples, since it was the Qingzhou army, it belonged to Jiao He, wouldn't Yuan Shao add another group of new soldiers - not to mention, these recruits looked really strong.

"Then it's time to thank Xuande Gong", Yuan Shao smiled proudly and greeted Lu Zhi: "Lu Gong, you are late, the oath of the sour jujube alliance has been completed, and the public is the leader of the alliance, and we should work together to defeat Dong Zhuo." ”

Yuan Shao spoke first and said his new identity.

Lu Zhi bowed and replied: "The old man led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou to help in the battle, and he is willing to obey the orders of the alliance leader." ”

Yuan Shao smiled all over his face, hugged Lu Zhi, and said, "Since Lu Gong came to our army, he happened to be my military advisor, and we will work together to fight against Dong Thief." ”

Lu Zhi saluted again: "I am willing to obey the orders of the alliance leader." ”

Yuan Shao raised his face and looked at the people around Lu Zhi. Among them, a stout man with a full beard and calf-sized eyes watched intently at Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao's salute. Wait for the two of them to finish. The man stepped forward, tapped his breastplate with his right hand, and said loudly: "Qingzhou Beihai Lieutenant, Left Forward General, Commander of the Guards Guan Hai, commander of the Qingzhou First and Second Legions, 14th and 15th Legions, reported by order." ”

Yuan Shao smiled heartily: "Okay, Jiao He, these soldiers will be incorporated into my banner and listen to my orders." ”

Jiao He nodded again and again, the rest of the princes showed a reluctant look, Bao Xin snickered, and Cao Cao looked at Bao Xin snickering with a little puzzlement.

Guan Hai ignored Yuan Shao, stared at Jiao He, and asked respectfully: "I have an order, I need to join forces with the Linzi City Guards, at this moment, my lord, please summon the Linzi City Guards into our army's formation." ”

Jiao He's face was embarrassed, and Yuan Shao laughed: "Okay, I'm about to organize the army brought by Jiao Tingshi with you, you hurry up and enter the camp, and when I turn around, I will ask the general to organize you." ”

Guan Hai stared at Jiao He, and replied to Yuan Shao without raising his head: "The Qingzhou army has its own way of organizing, and the leader of the Labor League is not worried. Jiao Thorn History, please summon the Linzi City Guards into our army's formation. ”

Yuan Shao's face turned pale, and he reprimanded: "Bold, since we have sworn an oath, we should work together to fight each other ****." Don't you respect the orders of the alliance leader and want to rebel? ”

Guan Hai Weng replied angrily: "You take my lord's things and you don't separate them from each other? Hehe, when I was leaving, my father-in-law didn't explain that he wanted to be inseparable from other people's things. Your things belong to your house, and my lord's things belong to mine, and no one should take advantage of anyone. ”

Lu Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "General Guan is my apprentice's general, stubborn by nature, don't be surprised by the alliance leader, and ask the alliance leader to summon the Linzi City Guards and let him complete the mission." ”

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Jiao He stepped forward and hurriedly explained: "The Linzi City Guards have been incorporated into the army of the alliance leader, since we have sworn to fight the thief, we should work together, the land is not divided into east and west, people are not divided into north and south, and food is not divided between you and me, and I hope that Lu Gong understands." ”

The big hat was buttoned down, and Lu Zhi couldn't speak.

Guan Hai was furious and shouted: "Erect the military flag, blow the military trumpet, and summon the Linzi City guards." If it is less than three moments, it will be punished as a crime of treason. ”

Yuan Shao was furious, pressed his sword and shouted: "Who dares to do this? ”

Guan Hai waved his hand, and several guards quickly picked up Lu Zhi and walked towards the back of the formation. Guan Hai waved his hand again and shouted: "Raise your spear, put on your bow and arrow, attack the formation, and step forward." ”

The whole army corresponded: "I am invincible." ”

In the Qingzhou formation, the captain's shouts came and went: "The first row of spearmen, erect guns, advance." "Second platoon, erect guns, forward." "The first platoon of gunners, erect guns, advance." "The first row of archers, the first ruler, ready to shoot from the back." "Second row of archers, wind, open the bow."

One stone's throw away, with a slight step, Yuan Shao at the gate of the camp entered the shooting range. Yuan Shao, who was in a panic, retreated into the camp surrounded by everyone. Du Cao Cao and Bao Xinren stood at the door.

Yuan Shao's lips trembled, and he scolded repeatedly: "Crazy, crazy, I thought Liu Bei was crazy, but I didn't expect his subordinates to be crazier than the other." ”

The military horn sounded, and the guard Xiao Fei held a big flag and inserted it at the gate of the camp, and the soldiers of the original Linzi City Guard heard the military horn, and threw down the work in their hands and ran to the big flag at the gate of the camp from everywhere.

Bao Xin, who was standing at the gate of the camp, hugged a soldier and scolded: "Bastard, this is the military horn that summons the guards of Linzi City, you are a member of my Taishan Legion, what are you running for?" ”

The soldier was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and even said: "General Bao, this is an urgent conscription order, if the meritorious people of Qingzhou hear the conscription order, if they do not gather under their banner within three moments, they will be exempted from the status of meritorious citizens, deprived of real estate, and expelled from Qingzhou." General Bao, it's not easy for me to get the status of a meritorious citizen, so just let me go. Now, my order to transfer to serve in your army has not been lifted, and I will definitely return to your camp when I have responded to the call-up order. ”

Bao Xin let go of the soldier and explained to Cao Cao: "The two newly formed legions in our army were formed by Liu Bei, and many officers were transferred from Qingzhou. Eventually, they have to go back to Qingzhou, let them go. ”

Cao Cao watched absentmindedly as the Qingzhou soldiers gathered and replied to Bao Xin's words with a snort.

Bao Xin looked at Cao Cao, and then at the princes who had avoided the camp, and said with admiration: "I stand at the gate of the camp and don't leave, because I know these people, Liu Xuande gets along with me very closely, and these people will definitely not attack me." And you don't know them, but you stand here fearlessly, I'm not as good as you. ”

Looking at the princes hiding in the camp with disdain, Bao Xin said again: "Not everyone has wisdom, I think among these people, you must be the one who can eradicate the disaster and restore order." People who are not commensurate with their talents and status, although they are strong for a short time, will eventually decline. Are these people sent down from heaven to clear the way for you? ”

Cao Cao muttered: "Liu Bei, people often say that he is brave, and now it seems that his subordinates are also brave and fearless; People often say that Liu Bei is crazy, and it is precisely because he has no scruples about doing things that he is the only one who breaks the old world. I don't think any of these princes are Liu Bei's opponents. Yuan Benchu annexed Liu Bei's army and insulted his division commander, and disaster was not far away. ”

Bao Xin comforted: "Although Liu Xuande is crazy, the righteousness is still clear. Now that Dong is the main one, Xuande Gong will not ignore the righteousness and start a war with the coalition army. ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said angrily: "Xuande governs the government, and makes Qingzhou rich and strong." If I succeed in the future, I will create another way, and the people of the world will be rich and happy. ”

Bao Xin praised: "Xuande governs the government, and I often disagree with it. If Brother Meng De is out of his own and fills the gaps for Xuande Gong, I should wait for Brother Meng De to show his ambitions. ”

On the other side, Guan Hai roared, kicked down a number of Linzi City guards one after another, and yelled: "Bastard, your weapons are coming? Here comes your armor? As a soldier, why don't you die if you lose your weapons and armor? ”

Among the city guards, someone replied: "The alliance leader has an order, and we need to replace our weapons and armor and equip the coalition generals." ”

Guan Hai was furious: "The weapons and armor are equipped by the lord for you, not your own property. As a soldier, when he dies with a sword, how can he easily hand over his weapon. Bring them with a whip, and I will whip them to death. ”

After beating the soldiers a few times, Guan Hai pointed to the coalition camp and ordered: "Prepare to attack the camp, and if you don't hand over our armor and blades, I will never rest with them." ”

Bao Xin showed an unbearable expression on his face, stepped forward, and reprimanded: "Guan Bingyuan, did your lord let you attack the coalition camp?" ”

Guan Hai's momentum paused, stepped forward and saluted and said, "General Bao, you come to judge." We came to our aid in the war with kindness, but others broke up our army, stripped us of our armor, and took away our weapons. Always take other people's things to blame each other for righteousness, and let it become your own things by the way, is there such a reason in the world? Today, if I don't seek justice for my lord, how will I go back and wait for the lord? ”

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "The army is uneven, hesitating and geese walking. The power makes people fight, and the heirs fight each other! ”

Bao Xinyi frowned and said, "It's too much to act like this. General Guan, don't worry, I'll go back to the camp to persuade me, how about it? ”

Guan Hai replied: "Qingzhou has not collected taxes for five years, and these soldiers and armor are all equipped by my lord with his remaining money after paying the taxes of the imperial court. My lord admired the righteousness of the princes and sent troops to help in the war, but not so that others could seize his property. General Bao, you have a deep relationship with my master, and my father-in-law has also equipped you with the Taishan Corps. Today, my lord is not here, but you have to make decisions for us. ”

Bao Xin said helplessly: "Xuande Gong once said that Guan Bingyuan is straightforward, but, Guan Hai, you are pushing me to the fire to suffer." How can the things that Ben Chu Gong (Yuan Shao) took come back? ”

Guan Hai sneered and said: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death." Today, my lord has been insulted by this great insult, and he has decided to fight at any cost. Our Qingzhou First and Second Legions, in the face of 300,000 Yellow Turban bandits, still won the Battle of Bochang. Now, I have two more legions to help the battle, the defenders of Pingyin City will be used as a backup, the defenders of the plains will be echoed, and there is also the Taishan Army in the camp as an internal response, if the alliance leader does not exchange armor and weapons, our army will fight to the death. ”

When Bao Xin heard this, he was first furious, and then sighed.

It is undeniable that Qingzhou's way of controlling the people under his command is really strict, just looking at the lieutenants at all levels of the Taishan Corps, after hearing the order, they have gathered under their banners, it can be seen that Guan Hai said that the words of controlling the Taishan Corps are not false at all. Thinking that he didn't say hello to Liu Xuande, he took away the two legions that Liu Bei had just completed, and Bao Xin felt a sense of powerlessness - at present, he was inseparable from Liu Bei's officers, and since the heroes of Qingzhou still needed to stay in the camp, then Bao Xin could not stop Qingzhou from controlling the Taishan Army.

"Guan Bingyuan, you withdraw the army first, and I will wait to discuss with Bohai (Yuan Shao) and promise to give you an answer." Cao Cao couldn't stand it, so he interjected.

Guan Hai glared at the bull's eye, looked at Cao Cao fiercely, then turned his head to look at Bao Xin, gritted his teeth, and replied: "It's okay, in this case, please ask the two generals." ”

*************************

On the seventeenth day of January, in the light surrounding the city, Zhou Yi, Gao Shan, and Yin Dong suddenly came to visit.

Liu Beiping retreated left and right, welcomed the three of them into the inner room in surprise, and said with a smile: "A few of us, except for the first few years, we can still get together to chat, now, it's not easy to get together, you are so together, you won't come to celebrate the Spring Festival." Now, the Lantern Festival has passed."

Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "I heard that you sent a message that Wu E is seriously ill and needs Yin Dong to take a look. ”

"Historical change?" Liu Bei stood up, walked to the table, stretched out his hand to fiddle with a vase, and said, "Historical change, it's too urgent, do we have the ability?" ”

Yin Dong asked: "At this moment, the princes of the Central Plains have the greatest strength with you. If you really want to change history, so that the people will no longer suffer from 60 years of war, and the Central Plains will not repeat the tragedy of thousands of miles of uninhabited people, do it, we have come together to show our support for you. ”

Liu Bei sighed deeply: "Historical change? Do you guys really think we're ready? ”

Liu Bei casually handed over a letter and said, "This is an urgent report from sour jujubes, you can take a look." ”

Gao Shan took the urgent report and read it out in a low voice: "After investigation, my Linzi City Guards have been disarmed by the alliance leader Yuan Shao and incorporated into his own queue. I threatened with the strength of the army and recalled the Linzi City Guards with an urgent conscription order. However, the armor and weapons of the city guards have been lost. Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu, and Bao Xin, the Shou of Taishan County, repeatedly mediated, and only recovered half of the armor and weapons. ”

Zhou Yi smiled dumbly: "This Guan Hai is really reckless, Yuan Shao will take revenge, offended the alliance leader, what will Qingzhou do in the future?" ”

Liu Bei replied: "It's okay, after Yuan Shao's trouble, the situation of the princes has been formed, and now, no one takes the court seriously, in this troubled world, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss." Guan Hai's troubles are just to tell others, I, Liu Bei, don't buy anyone's account, and no one wants to and pee on my head.

But do you understand the other meaning of this letter? ”

Yin Dong said indifferently: "What do you want to say: The power of the Shi clan and the Hao clan is still very large, even if we do it now, the fruits of victory may not necessarily fall into our hands." ”

Liu Bei stopped fiddling with the vase and said with appreciation: "Yin Dong, who is still in charge of people's hearts, understands the meaning here."

Our nation is sick, and this disease is a disease of the mind. Light industry despises businessmen and opposes any change. At every turn, he said that the new affairs were strange and obscene techniques, and always emphasized that the traditions left by the ancients were the most perfect, and often shouted that they wanted to be retro, and that there was a train saying that they were rebellious, and that a phone call was saying that they were ominous. In the Qing Dynasty, even the burning of foreign wax at home would be slaughtered and robbed by ignorant dung.

Every time we make progress, we have to start a war with the people within us. Internal friction is endless, and trouble is constant. In this way, even if they are given the most advanced technology - such as the Song Dynasty - they will still be defeated by the steppe peoples with poor weapons, and they will continue to decay from generation to generation until the family is completely destroyed.

We have come here not to repeat another change of dynasty, but to completely change the destiny of our nation and transform our nation's thinking ideologically. It is easy to unify the world, but it is difficult to unify people's hearts.

From what happened to the guards of Linzi City, we can see that the Shi Hao clan is still very powerful now, and it is not enough to have a strong army, and the Shi Hao clan will embezzle other people's property and embezzle the fruits of other people's victory under the banner of righteousness - they have not yet learned to respect other people's property, how can they understand our change in Qingzhou?

If we act now, it may be enough to eliminate Dong Zhuo, maybe. But what happens after eliminating Dong Zhuo? Let the leader of the alliance replace Dong Zhuo in charge of the government? I'm afraid, he won't agree to our change either. What if he is against it? We had to go to war with the Hao clan of the whole country, and with the power of Qingzhou and Liaoxi, we alone resisted the soldiers of the whole country, is our strength enough?

Now that we do it, the melee of the princes may be avoided. But in the end, the knife of slaughter was in our hands. For the sake of our new policy, we will have to slaughter all opponents, and the war will not end. On the contrary, we will gradually lose the hearts and minds of the people and lose our strength in the massacre. Eventually, we will have to compromise with the nobles, and even if we win, it will be another change of dynasty. We are tantamount to repeating the fate of the nation, so what is the significance of us coming to this era?

Think about it, why we were able to gain a foothold in Liaoxi and Qingzhou. Liaoxi, a war-torn place, when we arrived, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a lack of people. We have the external conditions for reform: to reform the peasants' real estate policy with a wide range of land, to enrich the people's income with abundant products, and to ensure the people's safety with strong force. There is no regime to rule, we set up a regime, there is no law, we set the law. In this way, our new order was established. In this way, we have gathered strength.

Qingzhou, after the disaster of the Yellow Turban, the wealthy clan of the scholars fled, the fields were barren, and the people were fierce. We still have the external conditions for reform: vast and ownerless land, which has changed the fate of the peasants. When the peasants are stabilized, the most solid foundation for reform will be in place. With the support of the peasants, without the constraints of the wealthy clans, and the weakest power of the imperial court, we established Qingzhou, a base area in the Central Plains, to manage Qingzhou with a severe criminal law, so that Qingzhou could get rid of the rule of man and move towards the rule of law.

However, what are we most afraid of? The intervention of the imperial court, the interference of the imperial power. To this end, we opened up three battlefields on the periphery of Qingzhou: the Pingyuan County battlefield cut off the connection between Jizhou and Youzhou; The battlefield of Taishan County cut off Yanzhou and Yuzhou from us; The battlefield of Langxie County cut off Xuzhou from us. At the same time, we also sent rangers to patrol both sides of the main road, and everyone who entered Qingzhou needed our permission. In the past few years, there have been basically no foreign merchants and court officials who dared to cross the battlefield to Qingzhou. The sales of goods in Qingzhou are basically monopolized by local merchants, so we keep the secrets of Qingzhou and let the people of Qingzhou enjoy the happiness of abundance.

Now, the secession has begun, but we still need to be patient. The rafters that came out rotted first, and at this time, it was not good to be too arrogant. The most arrogant Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the first to perish among the princes. On the contrary, Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who were unknown at the moment, had the last laugh.

I think what we need to do now is to learn from the United States, when the princes were divided, we resold arms and goods, and silently accumulated strength on the sidelines. When the sword of the princes shatters the old order, it is up to us to influence the surroundings with our abundance and happiness to establish a new order.

The beginning of the division of the princes is the time when we can make great progress, the prestige of the imperial court is gone, and we can no longer have any scruples, and we can gradually reveal our policies. Use our arms and commodities to completely conquer their order and law. We want to make this nation once again exert violent strength, to conquer, to plunder, to enslave.

900 years ago (the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China), the Greek orator and famous statesman Solon inspected many civilizations in his old age, and finally returned to Athens and said to the Greeks: I have carefully investigated all the ancient civilizations that have disappeared. I can't be sure which of the civilizations that are still living in this world is older, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Phoenicians......

However, in the midst of the uninterrupted rise and fall of all these ancient civilizations, I have discovered one immutable law: a civilization has been able to grow and thrive because within it there are strong imperial ideals and aspirations of conquest. And once these ideals and hopes disappear, the entire civilization will surely dry up and die.

Conquer or be conquered, this is the law of survival of all civilizations.

Civilization and freedom are not self-justifying, and the only thing that can be self-justified in human affairs is conquest. Civilization and freedom can only prove themselves and know themselves through the process of conquest and subjugation, which is the law that God has prescribed for mankind;

No empire in the world can last forever. The Greeks razed the walls of the Trojans to the ground, and the same fate befell Athens one day. The word eternal belongs to God, not to man. Therefore, the fate of doom does not prevent man from pushing his civilization to greatness by his own strength.

The conquest of Qin Shi Huang, the conquest of Emperor Wu of Han, the Four Yi Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and their decline. and the subsequent demise of the Yuan Dynasty, all prove this iron law: when a government loses the hope of conquest, it begins to perish.

Therefore, in order to bring the civilization of the nation to its peak, we must do three things for our nation: give them the right to own their own property; to lay the hope of conquest for them; Open up the outside world and let them know the vastness of the world.

With property rights, we can be guaranteed to be strong in continuous conquest. Let history not reproduce the strange phenomenon of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquering the Xiongnu, but weakening the government. Allowing the people to have property rights would fundamentally conflict with our current feudal society with Chinese characteristics (that is, a feudal society with the characteristics of slavery).

In order to have sufficient force and ensure the harvest of the people of Qingzhou, we cannot lose our strength to internal friction. So, this war, we must ensure, in the vast majority of cases, stand by and watch. Only for a few necessary moments to show our intransigence to the outside world.

I can't talk to them about these things, because they can't understand them. By now, you should understand my strategy. I think that first of all, we should solve our worries. After Guan Hai and Yuan Shao fell out, the news would immediately reach Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du knew that the main force of Qingzhou had arrived in sour jujube, and he would immediately send troops. When we get rid of him, we'll have a solid rear, and at that point, the race for the world will officially begin. ”

Yin Dong and the other three were silent.

Sure enough, after learning that the main force of Qingzhou arrived at the sour date, Gongsun Dunai couldn't help but lose his temperament, and on the 25th of January, he waved his army to Donglai, and the 300,000 army landed in Longkou mightily, and on the 16th, the army all landed on the shore, and the forward had arrived in Ye County.

The battle of Donglai has officially begun.
