83. Liu Ye's analysis
The day after Liu Xun and Liu Ye defected to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang took the two of them and the 2,000 remnants under his command to return to Xudu with the tiger and leopard horsemen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
During these days, Cao Zhang has not received news from Yang Feng, and he doesn't know what tricks he is playing, and he didn't see him appear when he arrived in Shouchun, but no matter what, Yang Feng still helped him drag Yuan Shu, so it seems that he surrendered sincerely, and now he can't afford to make waves with thousands of people, so Cao Zhang doesn't care about him anymore.
Along the way, Cao Pi was quite friendly to Liu Ye, Liu Ye is not only knowledgeable, but also has a good understanding of current affairs, and also has his own views on the general trend of the world.
Cao Zhang's grasp of the general trend of the world since he killed Liu Bei is not as clear as before, and now he can't see it, and after the battle with Yuan Shao, the effect will be obvious, it is rare to meet a wise man like Liu Ye, and he has the identity of a Han clan, and he has been a subordinate under a wealthy family such as Yuan Shu, and he has more experience than Guo Jiaxunyu, and his views on things are naturally unique.
After many days of getting along, Liu Ye also felt that Cao Zhang, the third son, was quite open-minded and inquisitive, and had incisive insights into things, although he was still young, he had already shown extraordinary talent, and then remembered the legend of Xuzhou's 'City Gate Halberd', and judged that this third prince was not an ordinary person.
On this day, Cao Zhang and Liu Ye rode side by side, and when asked about the general trend of the world, Liu Ye said: "If the general trend is not clear today, since Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zhan, Hanoi Zhang Yang died, and Zheng Gu led his subordinates to take refuge in Yuan Shao, all forces know that the battle between the lord and Yuan Shao is inevitable, so where is the general trend of the world going, we should look at the results of the battle between the lord and Yuan Shao."
Cao Zhang smiled and said no more, the army had arrived at the junction of Huainan and Runan at this time, and it was already dusk at this time, because he was not in a hurry and did not need to march at night, so Cao Zhang asked Cao Xiu and Liu Xun to order to camp and rest.
As soon as Cao Zhang set up camp, he called Liu Ye to his tent and asked the guards to guard outside, and then asked: "Mr. Ziyang, today you mentioned that the general trend of the world lies in the result of the battle between Yuan Shao and my father, so if my father wins, where should the general trend of the world go?" What if Yuan Shao wins? This is what Cao Zhang cares about the most.
Because Cao Cao's imperial advisers, whether Guo Jia or Xun Yu, all thought that as long as Cao Cao won against Yuan Shao, then he would soon be able to dominate the world, but Cao Zhang knew that things were not so easy, and later Cao, Liu, Sun, and the three families stood on their feet, divided for decades, fought for several generations, and finally let the Sima family benefit from the fisherman, which is also the reason why Cao Zhang wanted to kill Liu Bei.
But after killing Liu Bei, Cao Chang is still not sure if it will be easier to dominate the world, and now that the trend of history has gradually gotten out of control, he needs the wise man in the world to analyze for himself, and Liu Ye, the Han clan relative who saw the Liu dynasty dead, can just give him an analysis from Guo Jiaxunyu's perspective, which is the reason why Cao Zhang is kind to Liu Ye.
After talking for a few days, Liu Ye gradually became clear about what kind of person Cao Zhang was, and said lightly: "Does the third prince want to listen to the truth, or do you want to listen to good words?" ”
Cao Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Sir, please tell the truth." ”
Liu Ye smiled and said: "Ye is the king of Fuling, the son of the Han Guangwu son, since he was a child, he has witnessed the rise of the local heroes, the people are miserable, and the Han family is powerless to check and balance, knowing that the Liu family is difficult to survive, it is to take the clansmen to take refuge under the rule of Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, so no matter who wins or loses the battle between the lord and Yuan Shao, the Han family will die!" ”
Cao Zhang's heart swelled with a ridiculous feeling, a Han clan member frankly said that his dynasty would die, this Liu Ye really dared to say it! It can be seen that Liu Ye also looks at him differently than Cao Zhang.
Liu Ye continued: "If Yuan Shao wins, the world will not be far away!" Because Yuan Shao is a famous family in the world, the fourth generation and the third duke, there are countless protégés, all over the world, if he wins the lord, then his protégés from all over the world will inevitably have their own forces to echo Yuan Shao! Then this world is already Yuan Shao's world, except for Liu Biao, who has a deep foundation in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce, who is a lover in Jiangdong, can resist for a while, Liu Zhang in Shuzhong, and Ma Teng in Xiliang, I am afraid that there is only one way to surrender. ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said: "There are countless protégés of the Yuan family, even under the rule of my father's territory, it is difficult to eradicate, now they are just afraid of my father's martial arts, if my father is defeated, they will naturally have no scruples!" Although Liu Biao can defend according to Jingzhou, but there are also many big clans in Jingzhou, they must be pro-Yuan Shao, and the defeat is also instantaneous, although Sun Ce's Jiangdong has male soldiers, but the local wealthy clan will only maintain neutrality, if Yuan Shao can win the first battle, the local wealthy clan may fall to Yuan Shao, and rebel, Sun Ce will be able to trap the lonely city at that time It is already good! ”
Liu Ye suddenly stood up and said to Cao Zhangzuo: "The third prince really saw it thoroughly, Ye thought that if he said this, the third prince would at least refute that Yuan Shao was a man with a wide range of people and a taboo inside, even if he won the lord, it would be difficult to succeed, but now looking at the speculation of the third prince, I know that the third prince did not focus on the small things." ”
Cao Zhang said angrily: "Yuan Shao won my father, the world's wealthy families will naturally no longer be afraid of my father, and then they will fall to him Yuan Shao, this is the trend of the times, what does it have to do with Yuan Shao's own ability?" Even if he no longer has the ability, it is not a problem to dominate the world, the worst is that after his death, the sons will have a civil war, and then the world will be divided again! ”
Liu Ye nodded and said, "What the third prince said is very true! But Ye thought that Yuan Shao couldn't win, and he would be defeated! ”
Cao Zhang smiled, Xun Yu and Guo Jia had said this, Liu Ye's wisdom was only afraid that it was not much worse than those two, so he asked: "I don't know what Mr. thinks will happen to the world after my father wins?" ”
Liu Ye said: "If the lord wins Yuan Shao, half of the world should fall into the lord's pocket, the world no longer has military support, can only lie dormant, if the lord wants to quickly unify, when the first take Jingzhou, and then attack Eastern Wu, there is an edict from the Son of Heaven, if he can win, Liu Zhang, who is in Yizhou, can only beg, because Shuzhong is a place of peace, can not compete for the world, not to mention that Liu Zhang is not a general. ”
Cao Zhang suddenly laughed and said: "Sir said, if you want to unify quickly, when you do this, there is obviously another choice, right?" ”
Liu Ye said with a smile: "That's true, if the lord wants to achieve immortal deeds, he should stabilize the Central Plains, Hebei and the land of Sanqin, eradicate the local heroes in the territory, eliminate private soldiers, prohibit private arsenals, station troops in counties and counties, eliminate thieves, master the only military power, and then change the law of governance, get rid of the inspection system, the conquest system, and the appointment system controlled by the clan, cut off the root cause of the development of the clan, tighten the border, and seek development steadily, within thirty years, the world will surrender without a fight!" ”
It is the first time that Cao Zhang has heard someone completely propose a method to eradicate the world, and the person who proposed it is Liu Ye, who is a member of the royal family, obviously, with his identity and experience, he naturally has his own set of views on eradicating the world, as for whether it will work, you have to try it to know.
However, Cao Zhang can be sure of one thing, that is, Liu Ye's method of rapid unification is the route that Cao Cao will take in the future, but Cao Cao goes this way, even if he wins, it is only ideological unity, not unity in the real sense, and the wealthy families in the world will still rise, because the rule of officials has not changed, and the private soldiers still exist, they can still be strong on the left and right, if so, even if it is unified, will there be a situation of dividing the horse? Even if he killed Sima Yi's entire family like killing Liu Bei, how could he guarantee that another Sima family would not appear?
Did Liu Bei kill the wrong one? If there is the strength of the Three Kingdoms, you can also eradicate the local clan by taking advantage of the confrontation, and now, without Liu Bei's trouble, I am afraid that Cao Cao's determination to quickly unify will be even stronger, if so, how can the clan be eradicated? Am you self-defeating? Cao Zhang was at a loss after listening to Liu Ye's words.
At this time, a guard walked in and said, "Third son, Yang Feng sent a messenger here!" ”
