Chapter 353 [Deceiving Gao Gan]
A good system can suppress people's bad thoughts, and a bad system will make people's good intentions run into walls everywhere, the same people, different systems, can produce different cultures and atmospheres and huge differences.
A person who is willing and strivingly to improve the state system is the great talent of the country.
Wei Qi paid attention to the restoration and construction of the state program and discipline, and often presented opinions to correct the evils of the times.
During Cao Cao's period, he was often asked to advise on some major decisions. Cao Cao planned to march into Guanzhong and pacify the separatist forces in Guanzhong, so he asked Xun Yu to seek Wei Qi's opinion. Wei Qi believed that none of the generals in the Kansai region had great ambitions, as long as they were given knighthoods, there would be no major changes, and then they would be cut off, and if they attacked when they were strong, they would inevitably join forces to resist and be difficult to control. But when Zhong Xiang volunteered to go to the crusade, Cao Cao did not follow Wei Qi's advice, and as a result, Zhong Xiang lost, and Cao Cao had to personally lead the army to conquer, although Guanzhong was pacified, but the sergeants suffered heavy casualties. Cao Cao regretted not listening to Wei Qi's advice, so he valued him even more. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, he also often wrote to tell Emperor Ming to listen to different opinions, pay attention to the people, cherish the people's strength, take care of the treasury, and live within his means. Show his patriotism.
During the reign of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen and Emperor Cao Rong of Ming, Wei Qi was a scholar and presided over the formulation of the ceremony system together with Wang Xiang. Wei Qi attaches great importance to the restoration and construction of the legal system, and he believes that criminal law is the most important tool of the state, which is often despised by officials and replaced by subjective assumptions. The officials of the prison should hold the human rights of life and death, and they should be held by people who are clear and just, and often because the rulers despise them, they use inhumane people, which is an important reason for the malpractice of the king's government and the defeat of the country. He advocated the restoration of the "Nine Chapters of Law" of the Western Han Dynasty and the establishment of a doctor of law to teach him, so that officials and ordinary people could understand the law and rule the world by law. Emperor Wei Ming agreed with his proposal, and the special committee Liu Shao, Chen Qun and others deleted the Western Han Dynasty laws and regulations, and made 18 articles of the "New Law", 45 articles of the "Prefecture and County Orders", and a total of 180 articles of the "Shangshu Official Order" and "Military Order", thus increasing the content of the "Nine Chapters of the Law" and reducing the provisions of other chapters and laws of the Han Dynasty. The formulation of these laws and regulations has played a role in the history of the legal system, especially the establishment of a doctor of law, which is unprecedented since the Qin and Han dynasties, all of which are inseparable from Wei Qi's efforts.
When Wei Yan came to Hedong, Wei Qi had not yet come to Cao Cao, so Wei Yan used the seed artifact elf Kongkong to help him, and used the previous means to conquer Wei Qi.
……
Wei Qi nodded proudly, he had been affected by Wei Yan, and he deserved this kind of proper praise.
Wei Qi's calligraphy skills are very deep, and very comprehensive, whether it is ancient texts, bird seals, official scripts, cursive script, everything is good, Hedong County here a lot of inscription writing, are from his writing, and Zhong Xiang is equally famous, "Zhong faction is prosperous in the south, Wei faction is prosperous in the north, and the books of later generations are these two factions, which can only be called Zhong and Wei."
Wei Qi also has a specialty in calligraphy, good at imitation, he imitated the ancient text "Shangshu", which is indistinguishable from the great calligrapher Handan Chun, and even Handan Chun himself is difficult to identify.
Wei Qi took Guo Yuan's family letter, saying that he would send someone to pass it on to Guo Yuan's family, and when he arrived in his study, he asked people to polish the ink and prepare to copy it.
He even wrote a few pieces of paper, but he was very unhappy, and threw away the brush: "This Guo Yuan's words are really terrible!" I want to copy my Wei Qi's life, and I have copied and written such bad words from the ancient people! ”
But this was what Wei Yan instructed him to do, he had no choice, he was hard-headed, and wrote more than a dozen pieces of paper one after another, so that he could barely imitate Guo Yuan's handwriting a little more realistically.
Wei Qi imitated Guo Yuan's tone and wrote a letter to Gao Gan, which said that he Guo Yuan and Liu Bao, the king of Xiongnu Zuoxian, led 70,000 Hun iron cavalry, and Hu Cai's Baibo army should cooperate with the outside world, and trapped Wei Yan's 30,000 soldiers in the Baibo Valley, Wei Yan resisted stubbornly and refused to surrender, and the Hun cavalry suffered a lot of losses, but Wei Yan was already at the end of the strong attack, and asked Gao Gan to send troops quickly to come to Baibo Valley to help us and build this great achievement!
There were several pairs of brothers in the Yuan army under Guo Yuan's command, so Wei Qi dismantled them and sent some of these pairs of brothers to send a letter to the senior cadres, and Guo Yuan's dragon tooth knife was also sent along with Guo Yuan's letter, as well as a token of Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King.
When Gao Gan received the letter, he opened the letter suspiciously, glanced at it slightly, and laughed: "Guo Yuan's words are still so bad, what else do you do to protect the Huns, this bad hand is not ashamed, the children write better than his!" ”
Sergeant Yuan, who came to deliver the letter, respectfully presented Guo Yuan's dragon tooth knife: "General Guo said that the battle is stalemate, I am afraid that Wei Yan has reinforcements from all over the country rushed to Baibo Valley, and please send reinforcements quickly, otherwise General Guo and King Zuo Xian defeat Wei Yan, I am afraid that they will be defeated by the accompanying Wei Yan reinforcements, General Guo said, General Gao, if you are willing to send reinforcements to help, General Guo is willing to give this saber to you." ”
Gao Gan took the dragon tooth knife, pulled the dragon tooth knife out of its scabbard suddenly, and slashed it at the table standing by the tent, without making any sound, the case table was divided into two parts, as easy as cutting tofu.
Gao Gan looked at the black dragon tooth knife, and laughed: "Guo Yuan has a treasure knife in his hand, I have admired it for a long time, but he is ugly and self-cherishing, and he hides it tightly, and never wants outsiders to see it, who would have thought that today he would give up the dragon tooth knife!" ”
The soldier who delivered the letter presented Liu Bao's token again, it was also a saber, but the shape was very strange, Gao Gan took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but nodded: "It is indeed a saber that can only be used by King Zuoxian, although it is not as sharp as the dragon tooth knife, but it is very strange like this, I will accept it!" ”
The soldier who delivered the letter hurriedly stopped: "General Yang, King Zuo Xian asked the little one to send this saber just for General Gao to verify, and he didn't say that he wanted to give it to General Gao!" ”
Gao Gan said angrily: "Damn, this Hun is really stingy!" ”
The soldier said timidly: "General Gao, are you still willing to send troops to support?!" ”
Gao Gan laughed and said: "Fa, why don't you send it, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate Wei Yan in one fell swoop, why should I miss it, not only do I want to defeat the Wei army, but I also want to capture Wei Yan alive!" ”
As soon as Gao Gan thought of the victory scene after the soldiers sent to Baibo Valley, he was furious, leaving only one or two thousand old and weak remnants to defend the city, and ordered 30,000 elite soldiers, and hurried to the direction of Baibo Valley.
Gao Gan was bent on getting the results of the battle, he was afraid that Wei Yan would be captured by Guo Yuan and Liu Bao, so he urged his soldiers to speed up the march, and there were only 10,000 cavalry in the 30,000 horses under his command, and the remaining 20,000 were infantry.
The infantrymen were full of resentment, but they were afraid of the horsemen's whips and sabers.
