Full of princes, Ma Kuo said that Liu Xing had set up the Wuman Gao clan. Liu Xing was naturally able to understand the reason for his worries.

There are too many people in the Gao family, and the number of male clansmen who participated in the battle to exterminate Tibet has reached nearly forty, and they can be rewarded with titles. If a family has thirty or forty dukes and marquises, or at least earls, at the same time, the prestige of the family must be unparalleled for a while.

However, what is the fundamental reason why Liu Xing chose to set it up this way? Is it still dividing and disintegrating the Wuman Gao clan......

After hearing Ma Kuo's question, Liu Xing sneered slightly and said: "The head of the Gao family is a first-class duke, with four thousand households and no more than eight thousand soldiers. But he is a man, not a god, and sooner or later he will die. When he dies, who will inherit his title? His children and grandchildren have already been knighted, and it is impossible for one of them to have a double knighthood. ”

After a slight pause in his speech, Liu Xing looked sideways at the map on the wall again, and continued: "Gao Taiming's first-class repudiation of the duke's title, as long as he passes away, will become the focus of competition among his sons and those of the Gao clan who have only been awarded the title of hereditary title. ”

"Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. This is born from the same root, so why is it too anxious to fry each other. ”

After stopping talking again and looking back at Ma Kuo, Liu Xing continued: "In the past, Cao Zhi was jealous of his brother, only because of his high talent. In the future, the reason for the jealousy between the children of the Gao clan is the title and reward, but it is the main one who inherits the incense. Once that situation happens, I don't need to immediately intervene in the patrol of Dasong or Dali Province. Wouldn't it be nice to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then clean it up together. ”

"Seven-Step Poem", Liu Xing actually recited Cao Zhi's seven-step poem at such a worrying moment for Ma Kuo, Ma Kuo knew after listening to it, Liu Xing must have known in his heart, the Gao family was calculated by such a pit god, and he would not think about peace in the future.

Why does Ma Kuo think so? The reason is, of course, the current internal situation of the Gao family, which is also very similar to the situation of the seven-step poem.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi, was scheming on the issue of inheritance, defeated his younger brother Cao Zhi, who was more literate, and was made the prince of the king.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne as the king of Wei, and forced his younger brother Cao Zhi to write the "Seven Steps Poem" for the crime of not attending the funeral, and almost killed him. Cao Pi also successfully seized the military power of his younger brother Cao Zhang and secured the throne of King Wei.

Soon after, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate the throne, proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Han, changed the name of the country to Wei, and became the founding emperor of Wei, and the first monarch to be called emperor in the Three Kingdoms.

What about Cao Zhi? He was named King Chen during his lifetime, and after his death, he was called "Siwang", so he was called King Chen Si.

He was one of the most outstanding, representative, and influential writers of the Jian'an period, and one of the main leaders of the literary world at that time.

Cao Zhi was talented, quick-witted, and talented, "more than ten years old, reciting hundreds of thousands of words of "poems", "treatises" and dictionaries, and being good at literature", Cao Cao once wanted to make him the crown prince.

But Cao Zhi is a typical prodigal talent, he behaves debauchedly and informally, and is often calculated by Cao Pi, who is not as good as him in literature and martial arts as Cao Zhang, but is scheming, and gradually falls out of favor with Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi and Cao Rui became emperors one after another, and Cao Zhi was greatly suspected and persecuted. Due to the long-term persecution, he was mentally depressed and devastated, and finally died of depression.

However, whether it is Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, one is a scheming villain who later became ambitious, and the other is a talented and unruly talent, and his life has only been around forty years. Two brothers, one died at the age of forty and the other hung up at the age of forty-one.

The reason for this is that Cao Pi's stubbornness and self-use are on the one hand, and the bigger reason is that he is selfish to the extreme.

If Cao Pi doesn't persecute his siblings and create those fratricidal family internal conflicts. So when he makes a mistake in decision-making, at least there will be people close to him who will stand up and help him get back to the right place.

The reason is that Cao Zhi's self-esteem, debauchery, and high self-esteem have doomed his life to end in tragedy from the beginning......

A similar situation now exists in the Wuman Gao family, Gao Taiming's eldest son Gao Mingliang is a civil and military all-rounder, and his ability has been fully demonstrated in the series of wars to destroy Tubo.

His second son, Gao Mingyun, is a strategist and a good writer, known as "the king of Dali and the first literary talent to belong to Erlang". However, Gao Mingyun, who is a talented man, is not Cao Zhi, he is an extremely insidious and vicious scheming person.

After Gao Taiming led his troops to the snowy plateau, there was a period of time as if the whole army had disappeared. In the end, he suddenly came out and stabbed the Tibetan army that had returned to help from the ribs. That ploy came from Gao Mingyun.

Gao Ming tailored into the three kingdoms of Tianzhu, you must know that the lords of the three countries in Tianzhu are actually not wine bags and rice bags, but also some experienced and strategic, capable ministers who want to be literate and powerful, and who want to be martial arts and fierce generals.

So why do they listen so much to the wise man? Of course, it will not be because they sincerely surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, the main reason is that before Gao Mingliang went there, Gao Mingyun had calculated all the possible things. Then, he set a huge, very big chain plan for Gao Mingliang.

It is precisely with Gao Mingyun's super-large ring meter set up, coupled with Gao Mingliang's own talent and martial arts. The lord of the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu has always been pressed and pressed to death by Gao Mingliang, so he can only obediently obey his orders.

That pair of brothers is a capable person, and even once upon a time, Liu Xing once praised that pair of brothers as a pair of strange people.

However, they are not the most powerful in the Wu Barbarian Gao family, and there are two people who are more powerful than them, because the city of those two is extremely deep, so deep that they may be pitted by those two guys at any time if they don't read their minds.

Who is it? That is Gao Taiming's two younger brothers, one is called Gao Taiyun and the other is Gao Taiping.

When Gao Taiyun was his father to seize the position of the lord of the Duan clan, he had already shown the true colors of a conspirator.

It was his series of vicious tactics that caused the civil strife within the Duan court. Then he instigated the 36th rebellion, giving the Gao family the opportunity to seize all the military power in Dali.

And under his plan, until he lost his position as the head of the country, Duan Zhengyan's father still regarded Gao Taiming and others as loyal and loving him.

It can be seen that Gao Taiyun is not only strategic, but also very deep in the city, so deep that if he sells people, people will happily count the money for him......

Gao Taiping's strategy is inferior to Gao Taiyun, but in the whole process of the Gao family's generation and the seizure of the lord of Dali. All the people from the rivers and lakes went south to Dali, and all the Buddhist monks gathered in the Daguan Temple under the control of the Gao family.

In the chaos of Dali at the beginning, thousands of nobles and princes who could confront the Gao family were killed by the "monks and laymen with thousands of lofty ideals" led by Gao Taiping.

Assassination and poisoning, those skills are what Liu Xing is good at. But some time ago, after Zong Xin sorted out what Gao Taiping had done in the past, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at Zong Xin and said: Your city and talent are far inferior to him. (To be continued.) )
