Chapter 376: To Each His Own Mind
Jin Liang probably remembered that Deng Ai was born around 197 AD, and now it is only 192 AD, and it is possible that Deng Ai's parents have not yet married
Jin Liang regretfully thought that history had been changed by himself, and the fate of Deng Ai's parents had also been changed by himself, so would Deng Ai still appear like in history
Not only Deng Ai, but also Jiang Wei, Du Pre, Wang Rui and other figures who made great achievements in the late Three Kingdoms can reproduce the light of history, it is an unknown, and it may even be annihilated in history, which can be regarded as a fatal wound of Jin Liang to change history
The only descendant of Deng Yu that Jin Liang can recruit now is Deng Zhi
Deng Zhi, the word Bo Miao, was when Cao Cao hit Jingzhou, fled to Shu, although he was a child of the family, but he was a side disciple of exile, and was not valued and courteous at that time in Yizhou to do Zhang Yu was good at physiognomy, Deng Zhi went to him, Zhang Yu said to Deng Zhi: "After Mr. 70 years old, you can be a general as an official, and you will be a marquis" Deng Zhi heard that Brazil was too shou Pang Xi to receive scholars, so he went to attach to him
After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, Deng Zhi came to Pixian County as the governor of Pixian County, talked to him, and felt that he was outstanding, so he promoted him to be the commander of Pixian County, and later promoted him to the Taishou of Guanghan County
Insert a gossip, Liu Bei, this guy is a wise master, promoted Wei Yan from the army, promoted Deng Zhi from the small officials, said that Ma Yan's words are exaggerated, it can be said that he has the wisdom to know people, such a guy, if the foundation is not too poor, I am afraid that he would have become prosperous a long time ago
Deng Zhi was honest and strict everywhere, and he had great political achievements, and he was transferred to the position of Shangshu in Chaosheng
After Liu Bei's death in Yong'an, Deng Zhi sent an envoy to Eastern Wu and successfully persuaded Sun Quan to break off relations with Wei and make friends with Shu
After Zhuge Liang went north to Hanzhong, he appointed Deng Zhi as the central supervisor army, Yangwu general, and Zhao Yun ambushed the army in Jigu, and later the Shu army retreated, only Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi's army did not lose the soldiers Deng Zhi later guarded Jiangzhou, and the official to the general of the Che Cavalry Yanxi 11 years, the people of the Fuling subject country killed the captain and rebelled, Deng Zhi led the army to conquest, and killed their commander to show the public, so that the people could live in peace
Deng Zhi has been a general for more than 20 years, with clear rewards and punishments, and is good at sympathizing with his subordinate soldiers; He himself relies on the public supply for his own food and clothing, does not accept unexplained money casually, he has always been frugal, but he has always refused to seek private property, his wife and children are not exempt from starvation and cold, the day he died, there was nothing left in the family, he has a strong and straightforward personality, he will not hide his thoughts and feelings, he can't win the friendship of the scholars, he has little respect and respect for his contemporaries, but he is just a special person who values Jiang Wei alone
What is such a talent doing now? Jin Liang sent someone to visit and found that Deng Zhi, who had reached the age of twenty-one, was on an errand in the Ye County Ya, and was just an ordinary county official with a knife and a pen, and Deng Zhi was also forced to be a knife and pen official, after all, the original invincible Deng family had declined, after all, he was only a side disciple of the Deng family, even if he was outstanding in learning, he could only find a county official position to support his family
Jin Liang ordered someone to recruit Deng Zhi and talk to Deng Zhi, and found that although Deng Zhi was young, he was familiar with the classics and had his own views on military and political affairs
Jin Liang originally wanted to appoint Deng Zhi as Zhao Yun's army commander as he did in history, in order to recreate the glory of their historical partnership together
Later, Jin Liang thought about it, when Deng Zhi and Zhao Yun partnered in history, Zhao Yun was already in his fifties, and Deng Zhi was also in his fifties, both of them were the generals of Xiaochang's military affairs, so they were partners together, and there would be no problems with tacit understanding, but now Zhao Yun has followed Jin Liang for three years and gradually grown into a general who is in charge of his own affairs, but Deng Zhi is only a county official, and he has not yet experienced the tempering of battles, and now he is suddenly asked to join the army with a division of 20,000 people, it is very likely that he will not do well, and it will destroy the partnership friendship that he and Zhao Yun could have established. Inappropriate.
Jin Liang took a deep look at Deng Zhi and Li Yan in front of him, they were too young to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, and they still had to be cultivated step by step
Jin Liang promoted the young Guo Jia to be in charge of intelligence work before, and now he regrets it a little, although Guo Jia is resourceful, but he is too young and inexperienced, and suddenly leads a huge intelligence organization covering the entire Han Dynasty, which is overstretched, coupled with his lazy personality and willful and unrestrained, a lot of intelligence work has not been conveyed in time, causing certain losses, fortunately, Jin Liang then got Jia Xu, who is in his forties, and Jia Xu is in charge of the military intelligence organization, Guo Jia turned to analyzing intelligence, Jin Liang's intelligence organization said goodbye to the state of disorder
In the past three years, Jin Liang has seriously plucked many historical celebrities, and suddenly appointed a celebrity who has never brought 100 people to be a brigade commander in charge of 4,000 people or a division commander in charge of 20,000 people, such as Xu Huang, Tai Shici, and Zhao Yun. can be on their own, but they have also made a lot of mistakes in the past three years, otherwise Jin Liang's power may be even stronger than it is now
Jin Liang learned the lesson of pulling out the seedlings in the past three years, and started from the grassroots level that recruited the historical celebrities who were recruited from the grassroots level, but in order not to make these historical celebrities who think highly of themselves discouraged and disappointed that Jin Liang underestimated them, Jin Liang would talk to them one by one and give them a long-term vision, saying that they had high hopes for them and wanted to entrust them with important tasks, but they are now unable to shoulder this heavy responsibility in terms of ability and experience, and they must do it step by step in a down-to-earth manner
Jin Liang appointed Deng Zhi as the first battalion of the Guards Division Teaching Brigade to join the army, and like Li Yan, he received training and gradually participated in actual combat
Originally, Li Yan's martial arts were good, and according to the standards of romance, he could barely squeeze into the first-class generals, but Jin Liang wanted to train him to be a talent for joining the army or governing politics, after all, there will be fewer and fewer wars in the future, and the long-term stability of the country needs political talents rather than war talents
Jin Liang got Li Yan and Deng Zhi after the heart, he was very happy, he according to Guo Jia, Jia Xu's advice, did not continue to march, but stopped outside the wild city to wait for the internal changes in Jingzhou, Jin Liang learned from the secret agents installed in Xiangyang, Yuan Shao's foreign civil generals and Jingzhou's local military generals The contradiction has intensified, has evolved to a white-hot state, if Jin Liang attacks the past in one go, it will force the two sides to join forces to resist the enemy, if Jin Liang does not move, it will make those Jingzhou local civil generals have other thoughts
Sure enough, as Guo Jia and Jia Xu expected, Jin Liang's 100,000 male division did not move, so that Jingzhou began to split internally, and some semi-** armed forces outside Jingzhou also came to serve Jin Liang
Dozens of days ago, Yuan Shao's 100,000 army was wiped out, Yuan Shao only fled back to Xiangyang City with more than 20 cronies, many local families in Xiangyang were surprised and happy, they were surprised by the strong combat power of the Central Army and the vulnerability of Yuan Shao's army, and they were happy that the Ruying scholars brought by Yuan Shao from outside may no longer be able to oppress them
Yuan Shao seized Jingzhou from Han Fu, which is very different from Liu Biao's riding into Jingzhou must rely on the local family, Yuan Shao is to bring Nanyang people Feng Ji, Xu You and Yingchuan people Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping and Jizhou people to judge and match a lot of Runan Township people for his wings, these people are all scholars from the family, they helped Yuan Shao to successfully seize Jingzhou, Yuan Shao to take care of their interests, must sacrifice the interests of the local family, and Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, trial and others are very poor and insatiable people, they have Yuan Shao's support, Although the Kuai family, the Cai family and other local families were forced to cooperate with Yuan Shao because of Yuan Shao's reputation and military prestige, they have always been very dissatisfied with the infringement of their own interests by those Nanyang, Yingchuan, and Runan scholars
Yuan Shao relied on Feng Ji, Xu You, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Juan Pei and others to successfully seize Jingzhou, so he obeyed their words, and after obeying the words of these strategists who were lacking in private morality, they did not have much trust in the local family scholars under their deception, and the reason why they gave back certain official positions to the Kuai family, the Cai family, the Huang family, the Pang family and other family figures was also to appease the people of Jingzhou
In such a situation, the local family in Jingzhou is more and more resistant to Yuan Shao's rule, and Yuan Shao is also more and more distrustful of the local family, like Yuan Shao attacked Luoyang dozens of days ago, he did not bring any local military generals in Jingzhou, but after Yuan Shao's fiasco, because Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others advised Yuan Shao to pay attention to the turmoil of the local family in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao became more and more distrustful of the local family, and the local family could not bear it, and thought that Jin Liang represented the Zhengshuo court. The local family borrowed Zhengshuo's idea of loyalty to the monarch, and also eliminated their own betrayal of Yuan Shao
Jin Liang's central army came over, and most of the local families in Jingzhou were hopeful, hoping that the central army could eliminate Yuan Shao and get rid of all the moths brought by Yuan Shao, so they wrote letters of surrender and sent people to secretly send them to Jin Liang's camp, Jin Liang received almost all the letters from the local families in Jingzhou, including the Kuai family, the Kuai Liang Kuai Yue brothers, the Cai family, the Cai family, the Cai Mao Cai Zhong brothers, the Huang family, the Pang family, and the Ma family all sent letters
Jin Liang suddenly found that this scene was exactly the same as the behavior of those local family figures under Liu Biao when Cao Cao went south
Jin Liang does not wonder why these family figures have no resistance to themselves, because although Jin Liang has always hated family figures in his heart, he has never shown his disgust in words and actions, and the policy he adopted is to win over most of the families to fight against a small number of families, Jin Liang reused the family figures Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Dong Zhao and others, and also gave up the official positions of the court and local people who had no real power but were very honorable to those families, Jin Liang also worshipped the family figures Lu Zhi and Cai Yong as teachers and married Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan as his wife, These measures have won Jin Liang the favor of many families
At the beginning, in the rebel army of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, the rebel families occupied less than one-tenth of the entire family, and most of them were fooled by Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and others, when Jin Liang suppressed the alliance of the five states with a thunderbolt, the central army got most of the benefits when dividing up the interests of these rebel families, and the remaining part was also distributed to those neutral families who did not participate in the rebellion, which also won the favor of these families
What Jin Liang has been preaching is that "the family can be divided into an evil family and a good family, and it is necessary to unite the good family to deal with the evil family", and for most families, they are not the Yuan family in Runan, the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the Sima family in Wenxian County, which have always been ambitious, and they will not doubt that their family belongs to the evil family in Jin Liang's definition, and they will rely on the good family, especially the Jingzhou Kuai family, the Ma family, The Pang family, a family of poetry and book heirlooms, has not done much immoral things because they think that Jin Liang will not target a family like themselves, and even the Xiangyang Cai family, who has done some bad things, does not think that they are an evil family, and they also think that if they serve Jin Liang, they will get far more benefits than Yuan Shao
When Jin Liang occupied Qingzhou, Shuozhou, and Sizhou, his policy towards the family was to slowly try to do it, and the family's land and property were not touched, unless the people of that family were very angry, unless the family was stubbornly following the enemy, Jin Liang was ready to get rid of a family that threatened the local order every one or two years and the people were very angry, and he was not ready to get rid of all these families at once, and he was unwilling to damage the interests of the local family in order to satisfy the interests of the civil and military generals he brought
Of course, Jin Liang will not just think that he can really pacify Jingzhou, and that what makes Jin Liang believe that he can capture Jingzhou is that he has been voted for by the two ** forces in Jingzhou
One is Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, who absconded in the mountains outside Xiangyang City, these two people were persuaded by Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to serve Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao has always disliked Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng's background, and treated them very slowly, Yuan Shao was ambushed by the four tribes of Jin Liang in Dagu, Yuan Shao thought that Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng had not properly explored whether there were ambushes on both sides of Dagu before this, and were angry with Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, and wanted to kill them. He sent someone to contact Jin Liang
Jin Liang naturally wished that the forces of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng would contain Yuan Shao in the hinterland of Jingzhou, so he appointed the two as captains of thieves and gave them 1,000 bows and crossbows, so that they could contain Yuan Shao's army in the mountains and forests
The other group is Li Tong, a Jiangxia native of Langling County, Runan County
Li Tong's word Wenda, small character trillion, is Jiangxia Pingchun people, famous for the name of the ranger in the Jiangru area, and the same county Chen Gong raised troops in Langling, many people are attached to but Zhou Zhi of the two thousand families on the surface he and Li Chen are very cooperative, but in fact they are very unpleasant to the two, Li informed that he decided to strike first but Chen Gong's indecisiveness and agreed that Li Tong would ignore him when he saw this, and designed to invite Zhou Zhi to drink, and then kill Zhou Zhi when he was drunk, His subordinate dragons were attacked and swallowed by Li Chen with troops without a leader, and later Chen Gong was killed by his wife and brother Chen He, and then led his people, but soon Li Tong was also broken, and his head was sacrificed on Chen Gong's grave, and then, Li Tong gave birth to the poultry and yellow turban marshal Wu Ba and surrendered his people, but in the face of the great famine in Xingping, Li Tong had to scatter his family wealth to buy chaff and share the joys and hardships with the soldiers, so the soldiers used their lives, and the thieves did not dare to commit this hard bone
Historically, Li Tong led the crowd to take refuge in Cao Cao in Xu Du in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao worshiped him as a Zhenwei Zhonglang general, let him garrison in the west of Runan, Jian'an two years when Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao soldiers aided Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao personally conquered in the case of Cao Hong's unfavorable battle, Li Tong came to see Cao Cao overnight with his soldiers, supplemented Cao Cao's soldiers and made Cao Cao have troops to fight again, Li Tong as a vanguard, turned back to attack Zhang Xiu and broke it, Li Tong was promoted to general
Jin Liang sent the eloquent general Peng Kan Ze to persuade Li Tong to submit to himself, and at this time the great famine in Runan, Li Tong just captured Wu Ba alive and surrendered to his people, there were more than 6,000 people under his command, the military food was insufficient, Kan Ze persuaded the Yuzhou guerrilla general Wei Yan to send military food to fund Li Tong, with this kindness, Kan Ze knew the reason again, Li Tong decided to submit to Jin Liang, and Jin Liang was named the lieutenant of Jiangxia County, and led the headquarters to cooperate with Wei Yan's department to capture part of Jiangxia County.
The secret letter sent by Yuan Shao arrived at Jin Liang's camp, after Jin Liang read the secret letter, he was suspicious, and then looked at Yuan Shao's messenger in front of him, this young man with a handsome face looked very calm, which made Jin Liang feel very surprised.
You must know that since Jin Liang dominated Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Shuozhou and obtained Sizhou, he became the world's first-class overlord, and the domineering spirit of not being angry and arrogant filled the entire camp, and the envoys sent by other forces such as Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Han Sui, and Ma Teng were all trembling in front of Jin Liang, and it was difficult to have such a calm look.
Jin Liang didn't believe in this so-called secret information sent by Yuan Shao, but he took a keen interest in this messenger and said, "What's your name?" ”
The handsome man bowed slightly and said, "Xin Bi, a native of Xiayingchuan, is the younger brother of Xin Ping." ”
Simbi? Jin Liang was very surprised, this was the only wise person under Yuan Shao's strategists.
In history, after Yuan Shao was defeated and killed by Cao Cao, his two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, fought for the right to inherit. Xin Bi followed his brother Xin Ping and supported Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan. Later, Yuan Tan was defeated by Yuan Shang, trapped in the plain, and when he was desperate, he adopted the advice of the strategist and sent Xin Bi as a messenger to ask the feud Cao Cao to surrender, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to keep Xin Bi under his account. After Xin Bi returned to Cao, he first analyzed to Cao Cao the reasons why the Yuan brothers turned against each other, and suggested that Cao Cao take the opportunity to send troops to Hebei. Later, Cao's army captured Xiangyang, Yuan's old nest in Hebei. The Xiangyang garrison, who was at odds with Xinbi, hated Xinbi and Cao soldiers to attack the city very much, so they killed all the more than 80 members of the Xin family in Xiangyang and abandoned the corpses under the city. The nephew of the trial is honored. He has a deep friendship with Xin Bi, and is very dissatisfied with his uncle's behavior, and deeply feels that the Yuan brothers are mediocre and incompetent. Xiangyang was in danger again, so he sent a book to communicate with Xinbi. Xin Bi reported to Cao Cao after receiving the letter. Cao Cao was very happy, and attacked inside and outside, and Cao's army soon captured Xiangyang and captured it alive. With Cao Cao's consent, Xin Bi personally executed the trial to avenge the death of his relatives.
What convinced Jin Liang was that it was not that Xin Bi was like Yang Song, a strategist of Zhang Lu, who was aware of the times and served Cao Cao, but that Xin Bi recognized Yuan's face from the beginning that it was difficult to achieve great things. is not as foolish and loyal to death as Tian Feng, frustration, and trial. Xin Bi, like Guo Jia and Xu Shu, is a native of Yingchuan, and joined his brother Xin Ping to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, and later he found that Yuan Shao was "wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and he was indecisive", and it was difficult to achieve a big thing, so he persuaded his brother Xin Ping to leave Yuan Shao and seek another career. But Xin Ping was grateful for Yuan Shao's kindness and was unwilling to turn his back, and Xin Bi had no choice but to go against Yuan for this reason.
Although Xin Bi persuaded Cao Cao to make Cao Pi the crown prince in history and wrote to Cao Pi to persuade him to become emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, he was not a courtier who jumped up and down. He once dissuaded Cao Pimo from moving 100,000 families from Jizhou to Luoyang in the famine years when drought and locust plagues were raging, and he once dissuaded Cao Pimo from raising troops to attack Wu at the beginning of the world; After the death of Cao Pi, Cao Rong succeeded to the throne, favored Liu Fang, the secretary of the Zhongshu, and Sun Zi, the secretary of the Zhongshu, these two arbitrarily decided the government, and the ministers of the court and the central government took refuge one after another, but Xin Bi refused to follow the flames, and judged everything impartially, never pretending.
Xin Bi is a talented and virtuous person, Jin Liang is very interested in him, but he is more interested in his daughter Xin Xianying, but Jin Liang does not want Xin Xianying to be his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law.
