Chapter 211 Knowing that you can't do it, you are a saint

Zhuge Liang was noncommittal about this, obviously he did not agree with Qin Tian's statement.

"That Cao Cao is now the prime minister, which does not mean that he will also be the prime minister after he rules the world in the future!"

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "If he is allowed to dominate the world, can he really be his prime minister with peace of mind?" ”

"I'm afraid that when the yellow robe is added, he will have to be responsible if he doesn't want to."

Qin Tian smiled and did not refute.

What Cao Cao thinks, no one knows, I'm afraid that this question can only be answered by asking him himself.

But the fact is that Cao Cao extended the already short Guozuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty for decades, and vigorously developed people's livelihood, in fact, stabilized the north for decades.

For people in troubled times, stability is more important than anything else.

Didn't Cao Cao have a chance to be emperor?

Obviously not, because as soon as Cao Cao died, his son immediately became emperor, and it is obvious that when Cao Cao was alive, he had the ability and the conditions to be emperor.

But to say that Cao Cao did not have the slightest covetousness for the throne would be a pure lie.

Becoming an emperor is not something you can do right away with your mouth open.

In particular, Cao Cao also supported Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, making it clear that he was the orthodox of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

If you want to become emperor, you must go through complicated political struggles and reasonable and proper arrangements.

In fact, before Cao Cao's death, all the order was carried out in an orderly manner, and it can be said that Cao Cao's ultimate goal was to replace Han.

If it weren't for this, his son Cao Pi would definitely not be able to ascend to the throne so quickly and smoothly after Cao Cao's death.

But looking ahead, does Cao Cao still have a chance to be the emperor?

Obviously, there is, not to mention anything else, after the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was defeated, no matter from what point of view, Cao Cao is not far from the throne.

But no matter what he thought at the time, maybe he was worried that the world had not yet been unified, or maybe he still had some old feelings for the Han family, in short, at that time, he was not called emperor.

But in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated, and it was not so simple for him to become emperor again.

Qin Tian believes that evaluating a person cannot be seen from one point of view.

Everyone's thoughts are different at different stages.

At least for the current Cao Cao, he is de facto continuing the national legacy of the Eastern Han Dynasty and bringing peace and stability to the people of the north.

His credit for this is indelible.

Zhuge Liang never thought that Qin Tian's evaluation of Cao Cao would be so high, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Qin Tian saw Zhuge Liang's attitude and immediately laughed.

"But this world is the best, is it possible to take over the world, will you really return this river and mountain to the big man?"

Qin Tian smiled and shook his head: "In the name of restoring the Great Han, if he really lets him take the world, I'm afraid it will be no different from that Cao Cao." ”

"Perhaps, they are not as good as Cao Cao in governing the country!"

Zhuge Liang's mouth was closed tightly and he stopped talking.

Obviously, he also agreed with Qin Tian's remarks.

"Since this is the case, it is better to support the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and wait until this person wins the world, so isn't it also a return to the rivers and mountains and the Han Dynasty?"

Qin Tian smiled slightly: "The idea is good, but it's a pity that it's not very likely." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered: "Why is this?" ”

"How can the lord of a bag say that there is one?"

Qin Tian laughed: "If the Great Han really has such a talent, how could he be reduced to such a state now?" ”

Regardless of the side line or the clan, as long as there is one of the royal families of the Han Dynasty who can support it, it will not be like this.

How ridiculous is that a group of warlords with different surnames control the world!

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if you find someone who can speak well in all aspects, how can you ensure that the next generation of this person is also a person who can be entrusted with great things?"

"It is important to know that the establishment of a dynasty depends on more than just one genius."

"Looking ahead, there is the death of Great Qin II, and the former dynasty Wang Mang." Qin Tian smiled lightly.

"Let's look at the successful example, the Taizu Liu Bang of this dynasty established the Han Dynasty, isn't it also after several emperors who can write and martial arts to have the prosperous era of Han Wu?"

"Besides, Emperor Guangwu of this dynasty, how can he be the only one to create a prosperous man?"

"It took three generations before and after to have the later Han, if Emperor Gao and Emperor Guangwu were only one person, and the descendants were all wine bags and rice bags, then how could there be today's Han?"

Such a simple truth, of course, does not need to be said.

"But if you look at all the Han clan relatives in the world, can there be successors?"

"Brother Kong Ming, isn't he still dreaming of the pearl in the sea?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if there are people who meet the requirements in all aspects, then you still have a crucial threshold to cross."

Qin Tian pointed to the north: "Cao Cao." ”

"Now that he occupies the north, his power is huge, and his strategic depth is Aurora, even if you can defeat Cao Cao in a war of two, what can you do?"

"He can fail several times or even more than a dozen times, but if you fail once, you will lose all your efforts!"

Qin Tian said lightly: "Don't talk about Cao Cao, let's talk about Sun Quan in the east, are they also loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Northern Expedition and Southern Expedition...... If Brother Kong Ming is a rough military expert, he should know that Cao Cao now has an advantage, and it is not at all that manpower can change! ”

"Even if you are exhausted and vomit blood to death, the possibility of counterattack is still one in ten."

Qin Tian said with a little regret.

He didn't want to see Zhuge Liang do something that basically had no hope of success.

If he doesn't keep dreaming of reviving the Han dynasty and returning to the old capital, I'm afraid he won't "do his best and die".

Qin Tian sincerely hoped that Zhuge Liang could live a more relaxed life and see more of this great river and mountain.

In such a situation, even if Kong Ming has a natural talent, can he still reverse such a big disadvantage?

If it's destined to be impossible, why not give up in the first place?

"So Kong Ming, give up."

Qin Tian sighed and said, "If you let me come, I would suggest that you go to Cao Cao." ”

"Even if you don't look down on that person, at least you can stand by and watch and live in troubled times."

"Why bother wading into the troubled waters that are destined to be impossible?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes seemed to be a little dazed.

In just half a day's effort, Qin Tian had already explained to him the general trend of the world layer by layer.

Mo said that he was Zhuge Liang, but he was afraid that if he pulled a passer-by over, he could understand how history would develop in the next few decades.

His dream of reviving the Han dynasty and returning it to the old capital is destined to be a bamboo basket for nothing.

If that's the case, then is there any need for him to go out of the mountain?

"But I still believe that man will win the day."

Zhuge Liang gradually came back to his senses, but he did not change his previous firmness at all.

"There are so many impossible things in the world, if you don't do it, then it is destined to have no possibility of success!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes revealed a touch of perseverance.

"It's like that Cao Cao, didn't he also defeat Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu?"

After the battle of Guandu, the world was shocked, and this battle of winning more with less is a classic, enough to go down in history.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's 100,000 army with 20,000 troops, such an achievement can almost be said to be unprecedented!

If it is really as Qin Tian said, if he does not resist when he sees that the enemy is strong, then all wars should not be fought at all.

When the time comes, the two armies will face each other, and everyone will analyze the strength on paper, and the side with poor strength will surrender directly, and it will be able to reduce losses.

Could it be that before the war, Cao Cao was not worried that Yuan Shao's 100,000 army would directly wipe him out?

But he not only fought, but also successfully eliminated Yuan Shao and established his strong advantage.

Qin Tian sighed.

The two are not the same.

One is the victory or defeat of the situation war, and the other is the general trend of the world, how can they be compared?

That's right, the war of the situation can indeed create miracles, but many times, in the face of the general trend, there is no chance for you to create miracles.

If Qin Tian's estimate is right, he is afraid that the Battle of Chibi will start in a year.

At that time, the Sun-Liu coalition army can also create a war that can be called a miracle.

But what about after that?

Sun Liu is destined to be impossible to unite, and no one will be willing to be subservient.

If the two of them unite, they will naturally be able to contend with Cao Cao, and maybe even have a chance of success in the Northern Expedition.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they don't unite, the strength of the two families is very weak compared to Cao Cao, as long as they don't turn against each other, Cao Cao will definitely not dare to act rashly.

Who doesn't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?

If Cao Cao dares to make a move, the other party will definitely take advantage of Cao Cao's empty defense to take advantage of the void, which Cao Cao absolutely cannot accept.

Therefore, the triangle is the most stable structure, and it is equally applicable to politics and the battlefield.

As the most powerful party in the world, two relatively weak people will definitely join forces to kill the strongest first, and then fight each other.

But who would have thought that fate would play such a trick on people.

That Sun Liu turned out to be completely evil in just a few years after the Battle of Chibi, and now it is not said that it is a union, and it is magnanimous not to expect the other party to be unlucky.

The fundamental reason why Sun Liu turned against him was Guan Yu's death.

Is this a coincidence of fate?

Qin Tian thought that this was the inevitability of fate.

Sun Liu looks like he is separated, although he knows that only by uniting can he survive, but the question is, do you dare to guarantee that the other party will not attack you?

No matter who it is, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to defeat Cao Cao, under this big condition, even if you know that you should unite, but if there is an opportunity to capture the opponent's city, no one will let go.

This is the classic prisoner's dilemma.

Because I don't know how the other party will choose and whether they will stick to their bottom line, the best choice is to shoot before the other party makes a move.

Even if it's a zero-sum game.

Guan Yu is not a winning general, even if he is undefeated and goes to Maicheng, as long as Sun Liu keeps fighting, he will die on the battlefield sooner or later.

Even if he doesn't die, Zhang Fei will die, and no one can guarantee that he will always win.

Therefore, it is inevitable fate for Sun and Liu to fight evil.

The south is relatively wealthy, and compared with the Shu land that Liu Bei later occupied, it is not too good.

It was impossible for Shu Han to give up the fertile land in the south, and it was impossible for Sun Wu to be indifferent to it.

Therefore, it is inevitable that they will fight evil, even if it is not because of Guan Yu, they will eventually turn against each other because of other things.

So fundamentally speaking, Sun Liu is not only a good look, but also destined to split.

You can't expect people to stay sane forever.

Since this is the case, the destruction of Shu Han and Sun Wu is naturally a matter of course.

"It is only right to do it when you know that you can't do it, and to put it to death and live later." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Qin Tian's persuasion not only did not make Zhuge Liang give up, but made him more firm in his beliefs.

This made Qin Tian couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

But soon, Qin Tian was relieved.

If Zhuge Liang will really be persuaded to give up by his words, I am afraid that he is not the real Zhuge Liang.

It is this attitude of not giving up, and it is this kind of loyalty and righteousness that has made the prime minister pass down through the ages, and has made Wuzhangyuan a swan song for the ages.

"In this way, then I wish the prime minister all the best!"

Qin Tian said with emotion.

"Prime Minister?" Zhuge Liang smiled dumbly: "Brother Qin has confidence in me, before I get out of the mountain, Brother Qin has already booked the position of prime minister for me?" ”

Qin Tian suddenly realized that he was the fastest for a while, and he actually habitually said the word prime minister.

"That's inevitable." Qin Tian didn't care either, and said with a light smile: "If Brother Kong Ming is out of the mountain, with Brother Kong Ming's talent, it is only a matter of time before he meets the Lord Ming, and he is a supreme minister." ”

"I hope that the prime minister will restore the Han family in the future and return to the old capital, so that it can be smoother."

During the conversation, it was already noon before I knew it.

The two chatted while strolling, and from time to time they would sit down to drink some tea and eat something.

But after all, when it was time to eat, seeing Mu Chun and Ling Xia looking at him with blank eyes, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I don't know if Brother Kong Ming knows what food is in this Nanyang City? My two apprentices haven't been down the mountain much, you see they are hungry. ”

Zhuge Liang was also dumbfounded.

"Patronizing us to chat, I forgot about these two little guys."

"Brother Qin comes with me, Kong Ming knows that the family is very good......"

Under the leadership of Kong Ming, the three of them and one cat found a wine shop and sat down.

On a whim, Qin Tian actually asked the shopkeeper to warm two pots of wine and drink with Zhuge Liang.

Mu Chun was also very interested in this, and looked at Qin Tian with a blank eye, wanting to taste the taste of wine.

The rice wine in this shop is brewed by itself, and the taste is not too good, but it is not bad, and it has a unique flavor when you drink it.

Rice wine is a typical fermented wine, with a relatively low degree, and even if you are not old, you can drink some of it.

What's more, Mu Chun is not a human being, let alone a problem.

Qin Tian felt funny, and also gave some to Mu Chun.

Seeing Mu Chunyou, Lingxia was also anxious, and meowed to drink.

It's a pity that she can't turn into a human form, and the beast form can't speak casually, which makes her anxious.

"Yes, yes, you have, you have." Qin Tian smiled and asked the shopkeeper to bring a small plate over and give a little to Ling Xia.

"You little gluttonous cat, you want to try whatever other people eat."

Zhuge Liang looked at Ling Xia, who was licking the wine carefully, and suddenly felt very interesting, and when Ling Xia finished drinking, he actually gave a little to Ling Xia.

Mu Chun drank the wine in the bowl in one go, and then looked at Qin Tian with a blank eye.

Qin Tian was helpless, so he asked Xiao Er to warm another pot of rice wine and give it to the two little guys to drink.
