Chapter 7: Good Fighting Without Success

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The scholars of the Han Dynasty had a very strong sense of family, which was influenced by the Confucian idea of filial piety on the one hand, and was also an inevitable product of the manor-type economic model on the other hand. Therefore, it stands to reason that it is Xun who is a servant, in the middle of the 2,000 stone high position (the old one was more than 2,000 stones, and the rank of the Han and Wei dynasties has risen), and it is a family that can be distinguished because of it.

It's just that Yi took care of it: "You can be because of Hongfu, but you can't carry because of Hongfu." Let each man rely on his own strength, and he who relies on the strength of others will have no fruit. "So Shi Xun also recommended the two brothers Shi Su and Shi Jun to be officials in the Cao family, what to do, whether to be promoted or demoted, he didn't care.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that a brother has come over and said, brother, I'm here to go your way.

Yes Xun dragged Shi Jun into the inner room and asked him if he had met my daughter-in-law? Shi Jun replied: "I have met the seventh sister-in-law." "Yes Xun said that's okay, let's just sit down and talk.

Yesun understood what Jun meant, the other party's three-year county magistrate, his term of office is about to expire, or he will stay in office, or he will be transferred, whether he will be promoted or demoted, or he will stand still, it is currently the most critical time, so he quietly ran to Xu Du to ask for his help. Yesun is a person who talks about the rules, but he is not high, this year to be an official originally relied on recommendation, the so-called "internal promotion does not avoid relatives, external promotion does not avoid hatred" is also, I help my relatives say a few good words, that's normal, it's not **.

The entry of officials in the Han Dynasty was mainly divided into five types: Ren Yin (more than 2,000 stone can be Yin and one son can be a lang after serving for three years), Xuan Xuan (he can be knighted by donations, and the fifth-level lord can be supplemented), Zhaoju (the Son of Heaven personally summoned and inquired), Zheng Pi (officials self-appointed subordinates) and Chaju five types - the most important of which is Chaju.

Chaju to make it clear that it is to investigate honesty and filial piety. Filial piety, filial piety, that's how it came about. At the beginning, each county was required to raise filial piety and honesty every year. Later, the quota was allocated according to the number of households in each county. After Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, he added a new recommendation of Xiucai (the Eastern Han Dynasty avoided the light of Emperor Wu changed to 'Maocai'), and the three dukes and the state pastors and assassins recommended one person every year.

——When Shixun was in Hedong that day, he once recommended Dong Meng as filial piety.

However, after the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, this system gradually became unenforceable, because there were fewer and fewer prefectures and counties that the imperial court could control, and the changes of magistrates became more and more frequent. I know who is filial and who is honest, who is talented? So gradually, not only the three princes and state and county officials, but also more than a thousand stones can be recommended. There is a system and there is no system, so Chen Qun was able to reform it later and introduce the "Nine Products Zhongzheng System".

So today, Jun ran and Xun came here to ask for a way, and Xun definitely won't refuse. But he first had to ask clearly: "What is Zigao's position?" "I'm very familiar with Shang Shuling Xunyu, if the position is not high, it will not be in demand. I'm helping to say it's okay to talk.

It was Jun who smiled faintly: "Brother thinks, for the court official, how can he be a commonplace?" "Can you recommend me directly to Cao Cao?

Ah, it's Xunxin who said that this little brother has really grown up, and his vision is very accurate. He is Cao Cao's cronie and relative, although all the positions in Sikong Mansion are stared at by countless black chickens. It's so sought-after that it's against the sky, but for yourself, it's really not a problem. It's just - "Cao Gong employs people only with talents, coupled with strict laws and regulations, and is a commonplace." It's not easy either. "If you don't have any skills, or if you don't behave very well. Don't hit that wall at all, if something happens, the dismissal and dismissal will be light, and maybe even the head will fall off! Have you thought about it?

When Jun heard this, he straightened his waist, his expression became stern, and he arched his hand: "Although my brother has no talent, he once served as the chief official of a county, and he is also quite competent-my brother went to Shangshu and Lantai to inspect Keye." Now there is also a vision, not the former township, only want to serve Cao Gong, follow the traces of his brother, and make meritorious contributions. If there is a fall, they will take it by themselves, and they will never resent their brother or implicate their brother. ”

Shi Xun looked at this kid up and down, looked at it for a while, and then suddenly pouted and smiled: "I don't want to see him for three days, that is, I should be impressed......"

Okay, I'll do you a favor, brother, do it well. If you can really climb high with Cao Cao in the future, maybe the power of this four-character idiom of "impressive" will fall on my head.

Shi Jun stayed at Shi Xun's house for one night and then went back to Ningping. Shi Xun deliberately waited for him to leave, and then went to Xun Yu to ask, and the information he got was that Ning Ping had been counting and assessing for three years, and his grades were up and down, and he was ranked third in the ninth class. Only then did he put his mind at ease, and immediately went to Sikong Mansion to recommend Cao Cao, Cao Cao said that since he is your brother, then he is also a relative of my family, of course I can use him, but-"Today, only Shi can make up for it." "The county magistrate has 400 stones, and the Sikong Ling Shi Cai has 100 stones, is he willing to do it?

Shi Xun said with a smile: "My brother is willing to serve the lord and have a high rank, and there is no hindrance." "He had already discussed it with Shi Jun in advance, and it was Jun who promised to enter the Sikong Mansion, and the official was high and low...... In later generations, the so-called "Prime Minister Menzi Sanpin Official" was a hundred stone officials in Sikong Mansion, which was stronger than the establishment of the dynasty for eight hundred stones, do you believe it or not?

At that moment, I reported the progress of the workshop to Cao Cao roughly, and I didn't mention the rocket, just that I asked them to think about the dismantling and transportation of the poison ball and the cart. Cao Cao nodded again and again: "Hongfuguo has wonderful ideas." This winter or will be raised troops, straight to the thin Yecheng, if the big can be transported to the Yecheng City, it will be a great achievement. ”

After chatting for a short time, Shixun took his leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly saw a soldier running past him sweating profusely—he didn't even greet him, and he was rude—and ran to the main hall. Did Xun Xin say what happened to this? Then I'm not in a hurry to leave, wait and see if Cao Cao will call me to discuss it again.

Right now, I was grinding in the yard with my hands behind my back. Sure enough, after waiting for a short time, a small official came out and beckoned: "The service is not good, very good, Sikong summons." Shi Xun strode back to the hall, and saw Cao Cao holding a piece of paper in his hand, grinning at him: "It's not what Hongfu expected." As he spoke, he handed over the piece of paper.

Shi Xun took the piece of paper and looked at it, yo, dare Sima Yi really took down Taiyuan County!

Cao Cao sent Cao Ren and Le Jin to enter the party from Taihang and Baicheng, and the party was too shou Guo to get the retribution, and hurriedly asked Yecheng and Jinyang for help respectively. Yecheng side. Yuan Shao had just retired from the army, and the soldiers were tired. As Guo Jia expected, he really couldn't come up with any reinforcements, so he transferred back more than 10,000 people who originally supported Lin Ji from the prefecture, and sent Ma Yan, the general of the capital, to lead 2,000 soldiers to protect Fukou. In Taiyuan, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Gao Gan simply led an army of 20,000 to help.

Between Bingzhou and Jizhou, Taihang Mountain is high and winding, and only two in it can be passed. That is, the south side of the mouth and the north side of the well. As Xun expected, if the party loses and the mouth is cut off, the communication between the two states will be interrupted, unless you go north to Yanmen, go through Youzhou to Feihucheng, and go around in a big circle. If you go all out to defend the party. Taiyuan may be in danger, but the Jingcheng passage from Taiyuan to Jizhou Changshan Country was pinched in the hands of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, and in terms of the overall situation, Shangdang is much more important than Taiyuan.

In the original history, the Yuan family did not have the danger of such a dilemma, because Gongsun Zhan had already been pinched off. Although Zhang Yan was circling in Changshan, he was not able to control the Jingcheng. It all relied on the strategy of copying the history books at the beginning, and Dong Zhao's fake book, persuading Gongsun Zhan to give up his place of death and change to Jingcheng. Although it failed to cause fatal damage to the Yuan family, the so-called toad jumped on the surface of the feet - it was disgusting if it didn't bite. The shape between Yuan and Cao changed, but it turned out to be a wonderful move.

When the Yuan family was still in full power, although it was unable to trample this toad to death for a while, as long as he shook his feet, he could temporarily get rid of it (whether he would jump up again is another matter), but now that morale is low and food is insufficient, it is not so easy to open up the road to Jingcheng. Gao Gan had no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils, give up Taiyuan, and save the party.

He also took Wang Rou with him, but who thought that the army had just entered the territory of Shangdang, so Wang Rou took advantage of the night to lead fifty people to flee to Jinyang, and immediately erected a counter-flag. Almost at the same time, Sima Yi and Xiahou Lan led the Han army and the Xiongnu soldiers to break through the north of Yangtou Mountain, blocking the retreat of Gao Gan. Immediately, there was a "hula", and the sixteen cities of Taiyuan, including Jinyang, Yangqu, Qixian, etc., were instigated by Wang Rou and Hao Zhao, and ten cities were lowered in an instant.

The Yuan clan looks big, but in fact, its dominance in the four states of Hebei, Qing, You, and Hezhou is very weak, because it relies too much on the wealthy family, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a wealthy association. Yuan Shao was invincible, and when he pressed Gongsun, these wealthy families all surrendered, but when the decline was revealed, it was inevitable that they would deviate from morality and fall apart - especially in the merger of states that had occupied a short period of time and had been repeatedly rebelled by Xun. Taiyuan Xian surname, with Qi County Wang as the largest, followed by Yangqu Guo, Jinyang Linghu and Tongluo Li, is Xuntong guò Guo Huai to contact Hao Zhao, Li, Tong Guò Hao Zhao and Wang Ling shake Wang Rou, then Wang Rou is reversed, the chain effect is very terrible.

When Gao Gan heard the report, he was shocked and angry - although he had made up his mind to give up Taiyuan County (in fact, it was equivalent to giving up Yanmen in the north of Taiyuan, Xihe in the west, and giving up most of the annexed states), but in the original plan, the cities could always hold on for three or five months, maybe the situation would improve - hurriedly turn around and fight. Sima Yi met with him in a battle in Jicheng, although he lost more than 1,000 people and retreated to Yangyi after defeat, but Gao Gan was unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he had to retreat according to the original plan, and the strategy was transferred to Shangdang.

Shi Xun carefully read the battle report sent by Sima Yi three times, and the more he read it, the more frightened he became—this was indeed a strategy that only Zhongda could successfully plan and execute perfectly!

The battles in the late Han Dynasty and the early period of the Three Kingdoms can be clearly distinguished from the battles in the middle and late Three Kingdoms. In troubled times, the so-called famous generals either charge into battle and move forward, or anticipate the enemy's opportunity and are incomparable, full of personal heroism and opportunism. This kind of color can't be seen in Sima Yi, he is never clever in fighting, and completely oppresses people with power, just like this battle, there is nothing surprising in strategy, and he may not be a high-level opponent in tactics, but the result - winning is winning.

Sima Yi and Wang Rou's cooperation was very meticulous, and the time was just right, and Shi Xun almost suspected that he had also crossed back from the afterlife, and it was not his own empty-handed soul, but brought a radio or even satellite positioning. This kind of military quality, the late Han Dynasty and the early period of the Three Kingdoms were rarely mastered, but in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, several famous generals were highlighted, in addition to Sima Yi, there were also Deng Ai and Du Pre......

They did not win the battle by personal bravery or wisdom, but by careful planning, careful calculation, and strong control over their subordinates. Later, Sima Yi fought Liaodong, if he hadn't reported the specific schedule of the entire campaign in advance, and it was almost a day long, this battle might not have been remembered by future generations; If Deng Ai hadn't finally forced a surprise attack on Yinping, just those battles in his early stage would have been completely useless. To put it bluntly, these generals value the strength of the organization more than the ability of the individual.

Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh: "Zhong Da is really a genius, I might as well too." Of course, he didn't really sigh, but he just thought in his heart that in front of Cao Cao, he had to take this credit to himself.
