Chapter 2: The Gentleman's Deeds Are Careless
"Military newspapers?" Zhang Han got up and went forward, and General Xi Zhicai reported to him that he was satisfied, and it briefly introduced the movements of the thieves in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
In a few simple words, the situation has been indicated.
Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the captive school, led a total of 20,000 cavalry, met the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and broke it, and when the thieves crossed the river, they violently rose and fell, beheaded tens of thousands of people, captured 70,000 people, and obtained countless car, armor, and property.
"Qingzhou thieves, Xuzhou thieves are numerous, only a lot more than the Montenegrin thieves, the Han Dynasty is difficult to come, the thieves coerce the people and go without peace, gathering people for the army is the way to take chaos, if they can't get a foothold in the north, they will definitely go south......"
Zhang Han directly said what he thought.
"Yes," Xi Zhicai nodded approvingly, the literate who came out of the army thought longer than the soldiers.
The general trend will force the Yellow Turban thieves to go south, and then Xuzhou and Yanzhou will suffer heavily, Xuzhou has thieves and soldiers to make a rebellion, and it has not yet been pacified.
At that time, Yanzhou, which had just stabilized, had not yet grown, and would immediately fall into chaos.
"At this time, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, Chen Liutai, Zhang Miao, and Guangling, will all stick to their homeland and sit idly by."
"And only Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, will immediately meet the thieves, so my soldiers and horses in Dongjun should be prepared."
Xi Zhicai's words were full of confidence, and his words were full of judgments and never guessed, but his expression was very serious.
Zhang Han thought back for a moment, vaguely remembering the situation in the original history, which was not much different from what he said, so he also asked curiously: "How dare you be sure of the sacrificial wine?" ”
"Judge according to understanding, and once you have made a decision, you will be determined to do so, and then you can gain something by thinking deeply."
Speaking of this, he explained in detail: "Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao enjoys the name of the Eight Chefs, and the chef is a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, but in fact, he has a reputation for funding a lot of money to the scholar school, etc., and his power is extremely strong, and the lord of Dong Shi is also under his command.
Zhang Chao is his younger brother, and Liu Dai once killed Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, originally wanted Wang Qiu to lead Dongjun Taishou, but now Bao Xin has to promote the lord. Based on this calculation, Liu and Er Zhang are all people who meet on the surface but secretly want to seize Dongjun. ”
is a thoughtful support, so naturally it is not just as simple as solving doubts, Xi Zhicai also intends to explain the current situation to Zhang Han more clearly.
The main reason is that Zhang Han wrote the strategy at the beginning, although they are all outlines and there are no detailed regulations to implement, but the general direction coincides with Xi Zhicai's strategy. They are all Dingdong County and take Yanzhou, thinking that the heroes of Yanzhou are weak and can replace them, and then sweep the east and west with their backs to the Yellow River.
The so-called things, that is, the two states of Henan and Xuzhou, so that we can get the land of the three states in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the source of Yuzhou's Wenhui and the granary of Xuzhou.
Therefore, Xi Zhicai came to find Zhang Han urgently.
"Well, I learned," Zhang Han nodded approvingly, and took a few deep glances at the military newspaper on the case while sitting, secretly exploring Xi Zhicai's bold and decisive ideas.
"Hehe, I just broke through the Black Mountain, and the thieves came to Qingzhou again, and it is difficult to stop for a moment."
After saying this, Xi Zhicai stood up with his upper body, his eyes were so blurred that he couldn't open his eyes, and after tying up his scattered hair at will, he staggered forward, and at the same time instructed: "Bo Chang, don't move here, I'll go see the lord." ”
Bang, I was really tired from walking a few steps, and I sat on the threshold and muttered, "It's too late, why don't you go again tomorrow......"
"Well, how about you help me walk? Inform Xun Wenruo of these things, his mansion is not far from me. He will immediately meet his lord tomorrow morning. ”
His face was tired, but his eyes were of a different color, and he seemed to smile lightly.
It's good for him to meet Xun Wenruo, Bo often studies hard, and he will definitely be able to gain something, so as to inform me that I have made him a literary scholar.
"Yui."
Zhang Han got up and helped Xi Zhicai to sit on the collapse to rest, he had drunk too much, he was drunk, and he was sleepy late at night, consulting military intelligence all day long, which made him even more tired, so he fell asleep at this time.
I had to make a trip.
Naturally, this military report should be sooner rather than later.
After a short time, Zhang Han stood in front of Xun Yu's mansion and waited, and sent the guards into the mansion to report.
In the courtyard, I just put down the thin books of each county, checked the recorded money several times, and only after knowing it did I want to rest, and I was still thinking about this time when I washed my feet.
As soon as he was about to pour water at the discharge door, he saw the guard hurriedly enter the courtyard door and clenched his fists: "Sir, there is a person who asks to see outside, claiming to be Zhang Han, a literary scholar under the sacrificial wine tent." ”
"Zhang Han?" Xun Yu stood up straight and was stunned, "Isn't he a school official?" This military merit has to be at least promoted to a captain. ”
Ming Gong is still waiting to see what he is capable of, if it weren't for the recent busyness, I'm afraid he would have gone to the school to invite him to see him.
Actually, I went to Zhicai to become a literary scholar? Instead of leading the troops to fight, but copying and engaged? Abandoning martial arts and following Wenzhi?
"Please go to the main hall." Xun Yu put away his doubts, sent the guard to invite, he changed into a robe and quickly went to the door of the main hall to wait, and soon saw a young junior coming with the guard, with solid steps, strong physique, full of fine eyes, wearing a black headband, and tying his long hair in a bun.
This spirit, how do you look at it, is also a young player? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ride a white horse in a silver robe and silver armor with a spear in hand?
After approaching, Xun Yu nodded and invited into the main hall.
"Bo often comes here, but there is a military intelligence?"
"Sir, let me tell you that the Qingzhou thieves were defeated by Gongsun Zhan, and according to the judgment, they may go south, and when the news came, it had been fifteen days since the end of the war, so I am afraid that they would have left early." As soon as Zhang Han entered the main hall, he immediately said straight to the point.
Xun Yu stopped and thought for a moment, then his face relaxed, and said: "I don't think about it, the thieves in Qingzhou are newly defeated, and they dare not continue to go north, so they naturally want to go south, but people are widowed and worried, if they gather, they will be bold, and it will still take a month or two to gather thieves, and I estimate that they should go south after spring ploughing." ”
"Don't worry," Xun Yu raised a hand and pressed Zhang Han, "He wants you to come and see me and have a deep talk with me by the way." ”
Zhang Han was stunned, is it so amazing?
Just a few words can accurately judge each other's hearts, and the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary. In this case, that's the school entrance examination, right?
Xun Yu is a broad-minded person, and he is knowledgeable and wise. If he is admitted to the school, he will definitely want me to learn from my heart and do my best.
"I'm an old friend of him, so I know his temperament better."
Xun Yu smiled lightly and sat down after walking back to the case, letting Zhang Han sit in front of him again, and when the two knelt opposite each other, they saluted each other and asked: "Bo Chang has made achievements in the two battles of Dunqiu and Neihuang, why do you want to become a strategist?" You can tell the truth and speak your mind. ”
"You can tell the truth, right?" Zhang Han asked tentatively.
"Well, to tell the truth, you don't have to hide it," Xun Yu smiled, he didn't want military merits, and he was quite curious about the matter of turning it into a civil rule, and wanted to see Zhang Han's heart.
It's also bad with the Ming bus.
"I have a strategy in my heart but I don't know how to speak, I need to be recommended by my teachers and seniors," Zhang Han replied sincerely.
"I see," Xun Yu nodded, in this generation, it is indeed difficult to send the strategy in front of Ming Gong without anyone to recommend him, even if Ming Gong has the mind to act meritocraticly.
"Bo Chang values the meritocracy that the lord once said? What do you think of this move? ”
Zhang Han thought for a moment and said: "Because there are no celebrities, the Yuan family's concept is that 'non-domestic celebrities' cannot enter, and most of the rest of the male lords are like this, and they invisibly reject many talented and unknown people. ”
"Well," Xun Yu thought that Zhang Han would praise a few words of broad-mindedness and tolerance like everyone else, but he didn't expect his vision to be so direct and strange.
This young offspring is interesting. I want to be able to see many things that ordinary people can't see.,It's a smart person.。
Yes, I like it. It seems that there is something to talk to him deeply.
Xun Yu smiled: "Yes, this method cannot be used for many years, or only applicable to the present. Without the etiquette and morality of scholars, if you only have talent and do not have the right mind, the more people will be more powerful in the future, and it will inevitably be a disaster for your mind to float and be a disaster. ”
"Will that happen?" Zhang Han was stunned, thought about it or told the truth, after all, the military advisor in front of him with a status second to none doesn't like people with treacherous thoughts, and what he took the school entrance examination is real talent and real learning! And eloquence arguments!
As the sacrificial wine has said, eloquence is extremely important for the plotter! If you have an idea and can't debate it, it will be extremely difficult to speak in the future!
I tried my best, if Mr. Xun couldn't pass this hurdle, how could I talk to Boss Cao.
"Even if there is no teaching of modern and ancient schools, what scholars and scholars learn is Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism is still divided into temple studies and mountain studies? Those who learn from the mountains must not understand etiquette and have no virtue; What the temple learns is knowledgeable and loyal? If this is the case, why should students fight bloody battles in exchange for second and third military merits? Now it should be the rule of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. ”
"It should be, first only act, supplemented by moral behavior supervision, with heavy discipline constraints, so that those who have delusions are confined to punishment and supervision and dare not do it, until they are unwilling to do it."
"Tsk," Xun Yu chuckled in his heart after hearing this, and a feeling of discomfort arose spontaneously, but he forcibly calmed down and stabilized the smile on his face.
"Bo Chang, but if you have a heart, sooner or later you will be tempted by power, how can you reuse it?" Xun Yu still threw out a question, those with bad hearts are hidden dangers, and such a heavy punishment is only a pressure rather than a punishment.
Zhang Han blinked and said, "A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, and he doesn't have a gentleman in his heart." If it is good to be fair and honest according to the deeds of officials during his tenure, do you still care what he thinks in his heart? ”
"Sir, when you faced a beauty, did you ever have a time when you were in the mood for a horse...... Is it okay for a student to think you're? ”
Xun Yu: "......"
"Shut up! No, it's not...... That, Bo Chang, you go back first, I already know the military situation. The smile on Xun Yu's face had completely disappeared, and he had become as serious as usual.
"Huh?" Zhang Han was immediately stunned and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you let me speak freely?" Why is the gentleman angry......"
"I don't," Xun Yu's face showed a smile again, "How can you be angry?" I didn't. ”
……
"You're back."
The Sacrificial Mansion.
Xi Zhicai had already woken up from a sleep, leaned on the couch and said hello to Zhang Han.
Slightly sober, he asked about the process of going to see Xun Yu this time.
After listening to this, he began to laugh wildly.
Then he turned his back to Zhang Han and laughed convulsively.
After a long time, he sat up, returned to the case and looked at Zhang Han very seriously, and said calmly: "Don't care, Wen Ruo is humble and will not hold grudges, he will even go to see the lord immediately and tell him about tonight." ”
"It's a good gentleman's argument that doesn't care about it, it's just talking about me." Xi Zhicai looked up proudly, very happy!
Not really.
Zhang Han thought to himself, but it was not easy to debunk.
"Come on, talk tonight, I won't be as easily angry as Wen Ruo!" Xi Zhicai was very interested, and his eyebrows danced, "Just think of Qingzhou thieves and Xuzhou thieves There are 500,000 people!" If they enter Yanzhou to cause chaos, guess what? ”
Zhang Han sighed and said: "The people have lost their place, and the only way to go with the flow is to go with the flow, otherwise they will starve to death on the side of the road if they fall into the wasteland, so there are not only 500,000, but millions of people." ”
"Then treat him as a million!"
Xi Zhicai twisted his beard and thought deeply: "How huge are the millions of people, like locusts crossing the border, even if most of them are homeless people, they should stick to it, so that the thieves are in decline, these thieves feed on plunder, have no foundation, and cannot survive for a long time." ”
"Yes, gathering thieves is the way to take trouble, and gathering righteousness can calm people's hearts and hold on to the decadence, so that they can be expelled and cannot enter the country, and they can be turned away from the country."
"But—"
Xi Zhicai sighed and didn't continue. There is no unity in Yanzhou, and each has a secret alliance, and they will not calm down this disaster together after all.
No matter how strong the embankment is, if there is a shortage, it will not resist the flood.
At this time, Zhang Han suddenly spoke: "If a million thieves can be surrendered, can't they get a million people?" ”
Xi Zhicai looked at him in amazement: "You are so bold and open-minded? Do you know how many soldiers we have? How do you outlast a million people? ”
"We, after fighting this wave of thieves, we will have a source of soldiers!" Zhang Han blinked and said, and Cao Gong must want it! His vision is completely different from others!
These millions of thieves are extremely important to him, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he should start from now on! And that's the way it has been in history, if I'm not mistaken...... These millions of thieves from Qingxu are the source of Qingzhou soldiers!
And the elites who have entered the camp for generations among the Qingzhou soldiers are famous - tiger and leopard riding!
"How can you fight without soldiers?!" The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth twitched.
"If you fight, you will have soldiers!" Zhang Han's eyes lit up and he was full of confidence.
"What do you fight without soldiers?!"
"Divide and break, attack and harass, and if you win, you will have a source of soldiers!"
"You go out, I'm going to sleep." Xi Zhicai's eyes suddenly lost their brightness, and he pointed to the door and smiled politely and kindly.
"Huh? Didn't you say—"
"Get out!"
Small-mouthed!
……
At the same time, in the mansion of the government office, Cao Cao set up a case in the side courtyard and asked Xun Yu to meet.
After hearing Xun Yu's report and Zhang Han's conversation, he turned his hand around the wine bowl and chuckled softly: "Hmph...... A gentleman does not care about his deeds, and he has no gentleman in his heart. ”
"Punchline...... He even took this opportunity to praise me, I am a gentleman, a prince of righteousness. ”
