Chapter 9: Night Talk

"Well, you know it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info has led the army for his father for many years, and the generals under his command are all fierce generals who can fight in battle, but they are convinced that they are only for their father. Do you know why? ”

"Because my father is lenient to my subordinates, even if my subordinates are guilty of a small offense, my father can forgive them, so everyone is willing to serve my father." Yang Wu thought about what he said he had observed, combined with some things recorded in the history books, and replied thoughtfully.

"Yes, it's the word 'Kuanren'. In this troubled world, everyone is united by strength, but the father is forgiving. In the past, Cao Cao said, 'I'd rather bear others than others', but being a father is the opposite, 'I'd rather people bear me, not let me bear others'. Wu'er, you must know that the generals have their own scales in their hearts, and they are all clear in their hearts about who is good to them and who is not good to them. On weekdays, they are generous to their fathers, and everyone remembers the goodness of their fathers in their hearts, so if they don't believe in their fathers, who can they trust? Yang Xingmi said proudly.

What he said was not a lie, the Yang regime had only been in Huainan for more than ten years, but it had won the hearts of everyone in Jianghuai. Later, after Xu Wen and others staged a mutiny and took sole power, they tried all kinds of ways to eliminate Yang's influence. In this way, it still took thirty years, and when Yang Xingmi's old subordinates were gone, his adopted son dared to officially abolish the Yang family and become the emperor himself.

The kindness of Yang Xingmi alone can support the Yang regime for 30 years, and the title of 'the first person in the ten countries' is worthy of its name.

Yang Wu is also very emotional about his father's method of controlling talents, the word 'Kuanren' is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. Because there is a problem of grasping a degree here, if it is blindly lenient, then it is not leniency, but it becomes weak and deceitful, and then there will be a situation where the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and everyone will not take the lord seriously.

"Wu'er, you have to remember, no one in this world can say that they are perfect, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. This way of employing people is to see more of the strengths of others and tolerate the shortcomings of others; Do not use one person for goodwill, and do not abolish one person for estrangement; What worries you most about being a father is that in the future, you will be young and vigorous, emotional, and will not know how to tolerate the shortcomings of others. In this case, talented subordinates will not be used by you, and those sycophants will surround you, which is the way to take trouble. Yang Xingmi began to teach his eldest son his experience in employing people.

In fact, Yang Xingmi is far-sighted at this point, and Yang Wu is too emotional in history. After he first ascended the throne, he first sent troops to attack the general Wang Maozhang because of some minor dissatisfaction, and as a result, Wang Maozhang fled to Wuyue; Later, he killed Zhou Yin, the judge who opposed Yang Wu as the queen of the festival, and as a result, everyone in the subordinates was in danger; Later, Xu Wen, the commander of the right tooth, and Zhang Hao, the commander of the left tooth, saw that Yang Wu liked to play and have fun, so he went to persuade him, but he said: "You think I have no talent, why don't you kill myself as a festival envoy!" So the two people who were afraid in their hearts secretly began to rebel. It can be said that in history, Xu Wen and others rebelled, and Yang Wu himself was also very responsible.

After mentioning some methods of employing people, Yang Xingmi sighed and said, "When I first started the army for my father, I was so high-spirited, I just thought that I would be able to achieve a great career one day in the future. Later, after his father swept away Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo, Sun Ru and other thieves, although he got the land of Jianghuai, he found that after years of military rebellion here, the people had long been dilapidated, so he thought about his father to fight less, to recuperate, and then raise troops after recovering his vitality. Who knows, after a few years, Zhu Wen in the north and Qian Biao in the south are both strong and strong, and it is difficult to attack. Now, as a father, he feels that he is old and does not have the ambition to annex the world back then. Now I only think about how to pass on this inheritance to you in peace, and as for whether you can carry it forward in the future, it is not for my father to manage. Your brothers are still young, and I don't know how long it will take for them to reach adulthood, so I can only count on you as a father now, and you don't want me to be disappointed. ”

Yang Wu quietly listened to his father's chatter. At first, when he first crossed over, he still felt a little awkward about calling a stranger his father; But now listening to his chatter, feeling the licking of the calf in the earnest teachings, the trace of awkwardness in his heart has disappeared, leaving only a mountain of gratitude to his father's love.

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world! Who in the world is a parent who does not plan for his children? It's a pity that Yang Wu in history was too unlucky, and he was killed in less than three years after inheriting the position of the Jiedu envoy, so that the Yang family fell into the hands of others early. Yang Wu sighed in his heart.

Perhaps because he felt that his words were a little frustrated, Yang Xingmi didn't feel too much, was silent for a while, and continued.

"Although there are some trustworthy candidates for the army, you must know that what your father asked you to recruit is your own pro-army, which is a matter of life and death, and you must not be cautious. At all times you must remember that this army must be held tightly in your hands and carried with you, so that your safety can be guaranteed in the future. Yang Xingmi tirelessly advised.

Yang Wu knew that what his father said was right, not to mention anything else, just looking at the Yacheng where the current Jiedu Embassy is located, there are thousands of Yang Xingmi's most trusted pro-soldiers stationed in the Embassy, guarding the Jiedu Embassy at all times. Historically, after Yang Wu ascended the throne, he was so stupid as to transfer these thousands of pro-troops out of Yacheng and use the vacant land as a place for cavalry shooting, but Xu Wen and others had no last scruples, so they launched a mutiny and killed Yang Wu.

In the end, Yang Xingmi asked again, "What do you think of your cousin's family?" ”

"The child heard that his uncle and Ning Guojie made Tian Yan, and Runzhou Thorn Shi An Renyi connected with each other, but I was afraid that he would not be subordinate. The child thought he should have planned ahead. ”

His words were not to wronged the three of them, Xuanzhou's Ningguo Jiedu envoy Tian Yan, Runzhou Thorn Shi An Renyi and Shouzhou Thorn Shi Zhu Yanshou, these three powerful generals have been entrenched in their respective states and counties for ten years, and they have long been over. Now that their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, they are no longer satisfied with being the assassin of a state, they secretly form an alliance, thinking of betraying Yang Xingmi and carving up the territory of Huainan.

Yang Wu even knew that in August next year, Tian Yan and An Renyi would rebel, and although they were quickly pacified, they still had a great impact on Huainan. Now seeing his father asking, Yang Wu took the opportunity to answer.

"Hmph, you also know what you said about being a father, Tian Hao, An Renyi and Zhu Yanshou, the three of them, are thinking about what they are fathers clearly, and they want to carve up the land of Huainan in my heart, are I really too old to wield the sword in my hand?" Yang Xingmi sneered, said murderously, and then sighed again, "However, they all followed me from humble beginnings, and they made great contributions in the past, although some of them are now too big to lose, but after all, the signs of rebellion are not obvious, if I kill them, I am afraid that the generals will not be used by me." So this matter still has to be figured out slowly. ”

"If my father knew they had bad intentions, why did he have to wait until they rebelled? We can take the initiative to do something to let them rebel in advance, so that we can prepare in advance, and their preparation will be insufficient. Otherwise, sooner or later it will be a hidden danger. ”

"You mean, to use some means to turn them back?" Yang Xingmi was a little surprised, "This can't be done, everyone understands in their hearts, if these three people are forced to reverse today, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone else will not be in danger." He waved his hand repeatedly.

"It's not that they're being forced to rebel, it's just a normal transfer. Father, you think, the reason why they have the confidence to rebel is, in the final analysis, because they each own their own states and counties, and they have been operating in the local area for a long time. If my father finds a way to find a reason to transfer them out of their current state and county, and then send a general with cronies to take over their current territory, will they dare to rebel if they lose their foundation? Even if you rebel in a hurry, you can quickly press it down without causing big losses. What did my father think? ”

Yang Xingmi was still a little hesitant, it wasn't that he didn't know the benefits of doing this, he had this idea before, but he didn't take action in the end.

Yang Xingmi sighed and said, "Have you ever heard the story of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan?" ”

"Children have heard this story, it is about Zheng Zhuang Gong and his younger brother Gongshu Duan in order to fight for the rights of the king, Zheng Zhuang Gong designed and deliberately connived at his younger brother Gongshu Duan, so that he continued to make arrogant mistakes, and finally defeated him."

"Yes, some people say that Zheng Zhuang Gong loves his younger brother, so he can tolerate many illegal things that his younger brother does, and he didn't send troops to attack him until he couldn't bear it anymore; There are also people who look at this matter from another angle, they think that Zheng Zhuanggong is a scheming man, not only does not teach his younger brother, but pampers him until he makes a big mistake and has enough excuse to attack him. In fact, his father understands Zheng Zhuanggong the most, he has both ideas, and he is in contradiction. Yang Xingmi sighed.

It turned out that Yang Xingmi and Tian Yan had a tribulation together in the early years, when they attacked Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi's army was defeated repeatedly, and the situation was difficult, Tian Yu and they never gave up, and finally defeated Sun Ru, it can be said that the three of them have great merit, and now although they are big and ambitious, but it is indeed the opposite is not clear, Yang Xingmi is also in contradiction with the friendship of many years, I don't know what to do, this may be similar to the situation of Zheng Zhuanggong at the beginning.

"Okay, that's the end of this matter, for the Father's own opinion, you don't care. Tomorrow, after you let that Zhu Siqing come to see me, you will go directly to General Wang Maozhang's camp outside the city. The 1,000 men and horses allocated to you have been arranged for him by the Father, they are all elites, and you just need to receive them. If you don't have enough money and food for weekdays, just come to the Jiedu embassy to find me. For the rest, you look at the arrangement yourself, and you don't have to ask much about it as a father. ”
