Chapter 18: The Rising of the Sun
Shi Xun was the first person to control the Three Kingdoms, and Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" has been read more than ten times even by Pei Note, and many of the wonderful chapters can almost be memorized - of course, excluding this "Lingzhou County Temporary Strike Edict", which is likely to be purely Xibei's goods. For this edict, he can barely remember the beginning and end of a few sentences, so this time to Cao Cao, more than sixty percent of the text is improvised.
Creation is creation, but it may not be self-creation, and a few sentences from Cai Yan's "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" are used in the middle, and at the end of the sentence, "Lile conquest is all from the Son of Heaven, and the state and county must not be specialized". What Xun meant was not only to require all states and counties to dismiss the redundant soldiers and horses, but also to require them not to attack each other anymore, and to fight, they had to obey the orders of the imperial court.
What is the Imperial Court? To put it bluntly, in the future, only Cao Cao can beat others under the banner of the imperial court, and others can no longer fight each other.
When Cao Cao read this article, he couldn't help but be puzzled, and said hesitantly: "It's useless and ......" What's the point of sending this thing? Which prince is really willing to obey the edict? Are they stupid? Shi Xun smiled slightly and reminded Cao Cao: "This edict has three purposes, and it is not useless." First, the order of the Shen Imperial Court is to divide the kings and strengthen the prestige of our army...... "From now on, only our Cao army is a serious official army, and the rest of the princes' soldiers and horses are all illegal local arms."
Second, the policy of Ming Taiping, the heart of the scholars, from the hope of the people...... "We are an attitude of unifying the world and restoring peace, this attitude is put out, and the people and scholars who have suffered from the troubled times naturally look at the scenery, are you still afraid that there are not enough people under your hands?"
"Third, make the people of the state and county defend themselves. Suppress the desire of usurpers. "Originally, those states and counties that still respected the Han family. You will feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If you don't take us to heart, maybe a wavering will come from all the princes, and with an edict, let them know that the Dao court still takes care of them, and they will be able to defend with more confidence than usual. And if the princes of all walks of life want to annex and seize the occupied territory in the future, they will inevitably hesitate first, even if it is superficial, they must first put their reasons on the table with the imperial court.
Yes Xun said these three points. Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and said: "What Hongfu said is true, it is indeed beneficial, but Cao Cao is not deeply concerned." "This edict can't make all the princes bow down to their orders, but even if it is just to let them make up an excuse with the court before sending troops, so that the scholars from all over the country have a reason to resist their recruitment, then it is not a white hair.
I only heard Shi Xun continue: "In the past, the son of heaven was in Chang'an, so that the Taifu Ma Gong (Ma Riyan), the Taifu Zhao Gong (Zhao Qi) and others held the festival to pacify the Guandong and ordered the princes to withdraw their troops. Send envoys to the states and counties. The envoy did not only proclaim the edict. It can also win the hearts of the people and recommend the virtuous. ”
Cao Cao wanted to send him to Jiangdong, and he pondered that I had to hang the name of an angel, so that I was not afraid of being "clicked" by the "little overlord". Alas, wouldn't it be good for us to go south with this edict, which is justifiable, and we can take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people in Jiangdong?
You must know that although the Sun family of Lu Dao is out of Wu County, but his background is not high, and Sun Jian left his hometown in his early years, so he has no foundation in Jiangdong, although the "Little Overlord" killed his hometown, but the Jiangdong wealthy families headed by Wu County Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang did not buy his account, and Sun Ce killed a lot of people for this, that is, the so-called "killing heroes" - for example, the former Wu County Taishou Xu Gong, Yuyao Daru Gao Dai, as well as Wucheng Zou He, Qian Tong, and so on. The representatives of the four families, Gu Yong, Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, and Zhang Wen, also had to wait until Sun Ce died and Sun Quan changed his killing policy before he was willing to go out.
Therefore, Shi Xun wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Jiangdong to meet these families, if he could incite them to rebel against Sun Ce openly and secretly, he would be able to tie the Sun family army south of the Yangtze River, and he would not be able to go north to copy Cao Cao's back road. If he is Cao Cao's envoy, then he can only see Sun Ce when he goes, and there is no reason to see those families, what if the envoy of the imperial court issued an edict to dismiss the army? Then you can use the name of inspecting the place to get in touch with those guys. How old is Lu Xun? If I can prevent this young man from getting on the thief ship of the Sun family, my trip will not be in vain - it seems that he was the "Gang Ji Portal" from his grandfather Lu Kang at the age of twelve, and he should be very precocious.
So when Cao Cao asked, Hongfu, you just said that you want me to promise three things before I am willing to go to see Sun Ce, I understand, the first thing is that the imperial court issued this edict to stop the army and send you to pacify Jiangdong, so what are the other two things? Yes Xun replied: "Second, Guo Fengxiao is the main detective to find out the situation of all parties, please Yunxun talk to him to clarify Jiangdong's feelings." "Cao Cao said that this is simple, I will tell Fengxiao, the relevant information about Jiangdong, let him tell you everything." Third, Xun wanted to go to Guangling to see Chen Yuanlong first, Yuanlong guarded the river for the main public, and should also know that the east of the river was also good. ”
Cao Cao agreed to everything, and when is it over, I asked you when you are leaving? It's Xun Xin who said, alas, I just told you so much, just don't worry, the edict hasn't been issued yet, how can you decide when to leave? - "And retreat first and return to the capital, I expect that Yuan and Sun will not dare to chase after them, and when the imperial court issues an edict, Xun will set off." ”
Cao Cao talked with Shi Xun for a whole afternoon, and the next day he issued an order, and all departments packed up and prepared for the class. This day is also the three-day period agreed by Fan A, and before noon, Dr. Fan went to give Dian Wei a needle, and Dian Guofan really woke up slowly. Cao Cao was so happy, he almost hugged Dian Wei, and he was so excited that he burst into tears. But although Dian Wei woke up, he couldn't speak or move, and Fan A said that he had to wait three days before I could do the needle again. Cao Cao said okay, then we will set a teacher in four days.
Cao Cao is in Shouchun these days, of course, he is not idle, on the one hand, he sent Tai Shici to lead the troops south, and showed off his might in Hefei to intimidate Yuan Shu, and at the same time sent Mao Jue into Hefei City, and explained to Yuan Shu the intention of retreating, asking him to thank God from now on, fear Tianwei, and stay with Hefei and Junyu counties, so as not to think about expanding the territory anymore. On the other hand, Cao Cao also widely recruited local and scholars who had taken refuge from the Central Plains, and soon found Liu Fu for him, talked with him, and was very happy, and immediately appointed Liu Fu as the assassin of Yangzhou according to what Shixun said, stationed in Shouchun.
Unexpectedly, a talent automatically came to the door, it was Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang, a member of Chengde and the Han Sect. Shi Xun was very interested in this Mr. Liu—who was also one of the main strategists of the Cao family's class in the original history—dragged the sick body and ran to meet him in person. After talking, it was learned that Zheng Bao, a thief from Chaohu Lake, had wanted to kidnap Liu Ye, and took him as a call to kidnap the people to cross the river and move south, so Liu Ye hurriedly ran to Cao Cao to find a backer.
Shi Xun couldn't help frowning when he heard this-yes, in the original history, Liu Ye was Liu Xun who killed Zheng Bao before the banquet and then went to vote, Liu Xun was broken by Sun Ce before returning to Cao Cao, how could I forget this? Speaking of which, this Mr. Liu Ziyang did have a connection with Zheng Bao, and later persuaded Lu Su to vote for Zheng Bao, is it really him? It's not right, Liu Ye himself doesn't deal with Zheng Bao, how could he give Lu Su such a bad idea? Besides, the time is not very suitable for tenon...... Is it in the original history, the so-called Liu Ziyang's letter to persuade Zheng Baoyunyun to vote for Zheng Baoyunyun was all made up by Lu Zijing himself, in order to blackmail Zhou Yu: "You quickly recommend me, otherwise I will run away!" ”
Ah, I still have to pay more attention to Lu Su, it's better to push him out of Lu and become an official as soon as possible...... Such a hero, how can he be willing to be sent to other people's doors for a long time?
For another three days, Fan Ah took the needle, and Dian Wei finally recovered. According to Fan A, this time General Dian was greatly injured, and he could not fully recover for a year and a half, and even if he was completely recovered, whether he could still go into battle and fight, and the remaining strength of the original few percent still depended on the will of God. Cao Cao still wants to keep Fan A, which means, you might as well stay with Dian Wei for a year and a half, but Fan A tried his best to excuse himself, saying that he wanted to cure the world's diseases, and it was impossible for him to stay in one place for a long time and accompany one person, and General Dian would not need me after that, as long as he insisted on taking the medicine I prescribed. I'll try to see him again in half a year.
Cao Cao had no choice but to repay Fan A and send him away.
At the beginning of August, Cao's army set off to the north and returned, leaving only Tai Shici with 3,000 elites to assist Liu Fu in guarding Shouchun and controlling Jiujiang. Wei Yan came to Cao Cao to resign, saying that I want to stay in Shouchun with my master, so I won't go back with you. Cao Cao frowned: "Since I have allowed you, there is no reason to regret it." But if you refuse to return to the capital, how can you recommend it? Wei Yan said, "Please reward him." "Cao Cao asked what you want? Wei Yan replied: "Seventeen years old, leaving his hometown to live in Xu, there is only one mother in the family, and there is no elder. I wish to be crowned by Cao Gong's words. ”
Cao Cao said that this is simple, I will ask the class teacher to return to the court, and let Tai Shici preside over your crown ceremony, as for the words-I lowered my head and thought for a while: "The Book of Rites? Yuzao has clouds: 'The sun rises in the future', which can be written as 'Wensheng'. Wei Yan was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and went to Shixun to show off.
When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback - alas, alas, how can you not use the word "Wenchang", but go to the word "Wensheng"? Are you the famous Shu Han general Wei Yan in the original history? Could it be the same name and surname...... No, Yiyang people, with good roots and bones, are very capable of fighting, can there be a second Wei Yan? That could only be ...... Because history has been changed, it will never be Tai Shici who originally presided over the crown ceremony for Wei Yan, and it will never be Cao Cao who gave him the name of the table, so ...... Cao Mengde, this word you came up with is not good, it is too literary, and it doesn't agree with Wei Yan!
But after thinking about it again, is the word "Wen Chang" very powerful and a military general? It's just that Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang are familiar with it...... (To be continued......)
