Chapter 34: The Might of the Lord

Qin Mi came to lobby Xun, and his mouth was like a river, gushing endlessly. He first took Le Yi as an example, he was ordered to marshal the division to attack Qi, all the way to the time when the momentum was like a bamboo, nothing happened, and when the two cities of Ju and Jimo were left, a year was not over, and it was just in time for the death of King Yan Zhao, and King Yan Hui ascended the throne, so the Qi people used a counter-strategy to make King Hui strike Le Yi's military power......

Le Yi knew that once he returned to the court, he would be killed, so he hurriedly fled to Zhao State. Qin Mi asked, Le Yi can still escape from Zhao, if the governor also suffers from this danger, where can you escape?

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Is it the so-called 'Fu General is outside, slander is inside, slight mistakes, and great achievements are not counted', is it 'Zhang Han is afraid of his mouth and rushes to Chu, and Yan will talk about it', what does it mean?" ”

The two sentences he said were originally published in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Ma Yuan Biography - Of course, there is no "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" in this year, but this is not the language of later historians, but the words of Han Yunyang to make Zhu Bo play Shuli, so Xun can recite it. Thinking that Ma Yuan died of illness on the expedition, because Geng Shu, Liang Song and others entered the slander, Emperor Guangwu received the seal ribbon and wanted to harm his wife, Zhu Bo Nai played a defence for it.

Zhu Bo gave two examples to illustrate that the generals were on expeditions and were very vulnerable to slander, for example, Zhang Han was forced to surrender to Western Chu because of Zhao Gao's jealousy, and Yan Jiang was afraid of being burdened by his merits, so he did not dare to return to the court after capturing Liaocheng. Yes Xun asked, say what you want to say, it's Zhu Bo's words, right? What a big circle.

Qin Mi shook his head and said, "No, Mi doesn't follow Zhu Shuyang, but wants to be a good ear." The governor is not comparable to Ma Fubo, but I am afraid that it will eventually be Huaiyin. ”

"Kuai Sheng" refers to Kuai Che, who once persuaded Han Xin to turn his back on Han and stand on his own. He said very clearly: "Therefore, the minister thinks that the king of Han will not endanger himself." Also wrong. "β€”You think that King Han will not harm you. This is wrong. "The doctor is planted, and Fan Li survives. Tyranny, fame and death, the beast is exhausted and the hound cooks ...... And the ministers heard that the brave and slightly shocked the master's body, and those who covered the world were not rewarded...... Today, under the foot of Dai Zhen's majesty, the merit of not rewarding will return to Chu, and the Chu people will not believe in it, and they will return to Han. The Han people are terrified, and they want to hold on to their feet? The husband is in the position of a minister and has the power of shocking the lord, and his name is high in the world, and stealing is a danger. ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you would save trouble, and wanted to directly copy what Kui Che said about Han Xin. Kui Che also gave a few examples at that time, one is Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who were originally friends on a contract basis, but eventually turned against each other because of the struggle for power - proving that feelings are unreliable; The second is the type of literature, Fan Li, the merit is high, so the rabbit dies and the dog cooks.

"Today, the governor of the world is the hope. Unified 100,000 people, the same prime minister. And then there is no reward, the handle of the army is in hand, and it is difficult to retreat, which is similar to Huaiyin (Han Xin). The lord of Wei was originally overthrown by Hanji because of his martial arts, and then there was a world, and Anken made the governor succeed him? That is, if the monarch and the minister get along, there will be no doubt about the governor, but his life will be exhausted, and his grandchildren are still young, and his momentum is the same as that of the past. ”

Brother, you have already made great achievements, now that Cao Wei is in the world, you are under the emperor, so how can Cao Cao not worry? Even if Cao Cao has a very close relationship with you and thinks about his previous achievements, he has to consider that after a hundred years, his successor is young and weak, and it will be difficult to control you-

"If its Shu is not destroyed, the governor will be like Le Yi in Qi, and Yan will be chatting; If its Shu is destroyed, I am afraid that the governor will follow the dust after Huaiyin. ”

If you can't quickly destroy my Shu Han, then you are likely to be framed by slander and deprived of military power in an instant, and what if you quickly destroy my Shu Han? Maybe it will become Han Xin's second.

It was Xun Xin who said that this person is really good, but it's a pity...... You're just picking up the remnants of your predecessors, such as Kui Che, and you can't play any new tricks. Because for now, there are too few examples of high merit and shocking the master, or being slandered to death because of this, or being forced to embark on the road of yellow robe. In fact, I know a lot more precedents than you, not only Guangwen and Han Xin, but also Tan Daoji, Huan Wen, Liu Yu, Zhao Kuangyin, Yue Fei, Toto, Nian Qianyao...... Grab a handful. So you think I'm going to be so naΓ―ve and defenseless?

couldn't help but squint - Shi Jun didn't leave, he was still in the seat, and he happened to also look at Shi Xun, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Because it was Jun who came from Luoyang, he brought an important piece of news to Shixun.

Let's say that Li Yan had a plan and sent people to spread rumors all over the Central Plains, saying that Xun had a heavy army in his hands, or he had a heart of disobedience, and wanted to use this to urge Cao Cao to come to the battle to change the handsome, or to persuade Shi Xun to slow down the offensive, and even really turn his back on the lord and stand on his own - he sent Qin Mi this time, that is, he estimated that his strategy should have had a certain effect, and with the wisdom and momentum of Xun, it was impossible to rush forward blindfolded, but he must have noticed the undercurrent surging in the court through some means.

If you want to talk about the undercurrent, of course, there are, Shu Han has countless spies in the Central Plains, and there is the overall planning and instigation of the Infernal Affairs, so it was Xun Cai who entered Hanzhong, and rumors were rampant. However, Shi Xun had expected this, he had always been afraid of the high merit and shocking the master, so he did not plan to make the final blow to Shu Han, this time it was Cao Cao who insisted on ordering the general, so he had to lead the army to go. Before leaving, he consulted with Shi Fu and Huan Fan, saying: "If I can't destroy Shu on this trip, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed for my incompetence and doubted by the Lord; If Shu can be destroyed, the merit will be supreme and not rewarded, and the Lord may not be able to tolerate it. ”

Huan Fan said: "If you go against the trend, although you can avoid it for the time being, you will eventually suffer from it; Follow the trend, and the sky will be good. Why is the lord worried? If I am slandered or rumored, my son and I will conspire to fight against it in the capital, so that the lord will have no worries. If Shu is destroyed immediately, I am afraid that the merit will not be rewarded, but I can claim to be sick, that is, Cao Zidan, who will move the handle of the army, and return to Luo alone, the Lord will undoubtedly be. ”

There is no doubt that Huan Yuan will be entrusted to his heart, so he will not bother to do it, and entrust the affairs of the palace, and also admonish Shi Fu: "Everything can be discussed with Yuan Ze and then done." Sure enough, when the rumors were together, he came back to discuss with Huan Fan, and Huan Fan asked: "What does the son want to do?" ”

It's to say that I have a plan to make this rumor disappear invisibly - it is estimated that it is a rumor spread by the Shu people, but if you want to play rumors and move people's hearts, hehe, Lao Tzu can play better than you - "Rumors are like rushing streams, but they can be sparse and unstoppable." If you argue strongly, you will be able to fix it......"

Deal with rumors. It can't be blocked. It is necessary to find out the source of the rumors. Or to say that my father has no dissenting intentions, but he may get darker and darker. The only way to deal with rumors is to channel them, confuse the rumor-mongers' minds, or divert their interests. So I plan to release another rumor, that is, my father really doesn't know how to do military, so he handed over all the military power to Cao Zhen, and he himself held a drinking party in the camp all day long. Summoning literary scholars to recite poems and compose songs - this is also in line with the public's perception of dad. As soon as this rumor spreads, it will inevitably overwhelm the unreliable "dissent" theory, and the Son of Heaven may send someone to the army to inspect and even reprimand my father, but with my father's taste and power, are you still afraid of a small reprimand?

Huan Fan heard the words of reply, first nodded, but then shook his head, he said: "This self-defiling strategy is not ineffective. However, it will hurt the virtue of the lord. And the Son of Heaven may not be able to dazzle him with hypocrisy. "You have a good idea. But he may not be able to hide it from Cao Cao.

Shi Yi frowned: "But why did Yuan teach me?" "Huan Fan said that I will modify your strategy, so and so, and so, and this and this will eliminate the catastrophe invisibly.

It was a great joy to hear the words, so he acted according to the plan. The next day, even though his wife, Princess Shanyang, entered the palace, she ran to Queen Bian to wipe her tears. Bian Shi asked what was the matter-"Is it a family man who treats my son badly?" "The princess said that it was not that my husband was bad to me, but that there were rumors in the countryside recently, saying that my father-in-law was a master who led the teacher into Shu, or had a heart of disobedience...... I pondered, I still came to beg my mother, and I spoke to my father in front of the emperor, and it would be better to call my father-in-law back to the court.

Queen Bian made a face: "This state affair, why do you have to put your beak?" Although, it is Hongfu my family's in-laws, and he is known for his loyalty, and he will have no two hearts. People have a lot of words, so why bother? "The princess said that I also persuaded my husband in the same way, but my husband cited examples such as Le Yi and Zhang Han, saying that the general will be jealous outside, and if there are rumors and incitement, I am afraid that the death of the clan will not happen. If the clan dies, what should I do with my daughter? Mother, you have to call the shots for your daughter!

So through the assistance of Queen Bian, Cao Cao was in good spirits, so he summoned Shi Fu and soothed him with kind words. It was Fu who took the opportunity to say: "The three of them became tigers, and Meng's mother threw himself into the tree." This rumor must be created by the Shu people, but it should not be ignored. Your Majesty Shengming will not be confused, but I am afraid that the courtiers will be divided, and the imperial history will play when the wind is heard, that is, Your Majesty will have to punish his father. How can he call his father back immediately, and he will be easy? ”

Cao Cao reprimanded: "The reason for defeat is easy to be handsome, how can it be changed because of rumors and slander?" Do you think I'm Yan Huiye? Huhaiye?! ”

Yes Fu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying I would never dare to compare Your Majesty to a faint monarch who died in the country. However, in order to block the mouth of the people and make my father have no worries on the front line, I hope that Your Majesty can send someone to spread another rumor, so that you may be able to protect my clan.

Cao Cao listened to what he said, and pondered for a long time, saying that in this way, I am afraid that your father's reputation will be ruined. It was Fu who hurriedly said: "Disloyalty is a big dirt, that is, a high wine meeting, and a small dirty ear." Cao Cao asked again: "This plan is also good, who did his own fundraising?" ”

It was Fuxin who said that I couldn't say that I figured it out myself, I always pretended to be stupid, and suddenly became smarter, Cao Cao must be suspicious, so he had to expose Huan Fan: "Chen An has this wisdom? This door guest Huan Yuan is also proposed. "Cao Cao said yes, you are really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger-" Why don't you recommend the envoy? He was busy and said: "Yuan Ze doesn't want to go elsewhere, and is waiting for the imperial examination." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said Okay, I'll take care of this matter, you go down.

So the rumor that Xun didn't know how to fight spread like this, and sure enough, the focus was successfully shifted, but Cao Cao did not issue an edict to ask Shi Xun for this - he also planned to wait for Xun to destroy Shu, and then find an excuse to clean him up, and it was not yet time to launch.

It just so happened that Jun returned to Luoyang to offer prisoners, and it was the cause and effect of this matter, and I was ready to tell you, please bring a message to Dad, and I have helped you stabilize the rear. This time, Qin Mi came to lobby, just a moment ago, it was Xun and Jun's brothers who had a secret talk, and it was Jun who had already informed Shixun that he knew - so the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the meaning of the smile: Such a clumsy plan, can An move me?

Immediately, Xun casually perfunctory Qin Mi, saying that you don't come to divide my monarch and ministers, if you want to surrender, you will surrender, if you refuse to surrender, then guard Chengdu well, and after I break Liu Feng, I will attack each other. Qin Mi saw that he had wasted a long time talking, but he was not depressed, and he did not run away, but said to Shi Xun: "Mi has a secret word, please let the governor retreat." ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you still have any tricks, but I was a little curious, so I immediately ordered Jun to wait out of the account and face Qin Mi alone. The two talked secretly for a long time, and when Qin Mi was sent away, Shi Xun immediately summoned the generals and ordered: "If the grain and grass are not continued today, it will be difficult to overcome the city, and the troops will be temporarily withdrawn." (To be continued.) )
