Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1060 The problem of weighing the pros and cons

   As far as the overall strategy is concerned, the ultimate goal is naturally to win Guanzhong. Naturally, there is no problem with this, but there is no problem in strategy, which does not mean that there is no problem in tactics.

  It’s like the bald-headed strong of later generations. Strictly speaking, there is really no problem in terms of grand strategy, but it often goes wrong in specific battles...

  A few days earlier and a few days later are not a big problem for Fei Qian, but for Zhong Shao and Yang Biao who are in a stalemate in Guanzhong Chang'an, the difference is very important.

In terms of strategy, basically as long as the intelligence work is not done too poorly, it is basically something on the table. How many cities, how many generals, how many soldiers and horses there are, etc., are all well known If it is not far from ten, then where is the opponent's main point, and where should one's own troops go, they also have a general idea in mind.

So at the beginning of the battle between the two sides, before formal contact, they are basically like chess players sitting at both ends of the chessboard. They basically know what pieces they have and what pieces are on the opposite side. Where and when the two sides make their moves has become the most critical factor for the victory of this chessboard.

Limited by the lack of communication tools, no matter how many scouts are dispatched, it is like marching in rain and fog for both sides, and the troops on the battlefield are all wandering and moving. No one can grasp all the information on the battlefield, so at this stage, the test is for the counselors and generals of both sides to guide the battlefield and even guide the other party's generals based on their respective experience and wisdom.

It is precisely because of this that in ancient times, many people who were familiar with military books and could speak clearly and accurately outside the battlefield, after they actually went to the battlefield, they often became full of mistakes and extremely dull. Manipulators with low energy emerge in endlessly.

   Fortunately, Fei Qian and Jia Xu are basically relatively prudent and intelligent people, so regarding the situation in Guanzhong, they did not appear to have a chance of winning and everything is going well, and they still made choices and arrangements quite carefully.

Before sending troops to Diaoyin, although Yang Biao and Zhong Shao knew that there were soldiers and horses of Fei Qian here, they did not place the chess pieces on the chessboard after all, so Yang Biao and Zhong Shao in Guanzhong were just on guard, and would not It's not stupid enough to provoke Fei Qian before the winner is decided...

But once Fei Qian sends troops to Diao Yin, it means that Fei Qian is joining the chaos in Guanzhong. Whether it is Yang Biao or Zhong Shao, the actions and plans of these two people will naturally be adjusted accordingly because of Fei Qian's joining. .

Jia Xu knew the meaning of Fei Qian's words, and of course he was trying to figure out the thoughts revealed by Fei Qian's words. It has to be said that now Fei Qian is already a very important number one person, and his words and deeds have naturally become what many people think about. Objects, including Jia Xu.

  Thinking about a person's thinking and then benefiting oneself under certain circumstances is no longer a special talent or ability, as long as it is an individual. Basically, when the child falls to the ground, when the consciousness begins to form, it will start to use this ability.

Of course, some children get more care, and when they have any needs, the people around them will immediately meet them. A little more in the center.

  It’s like Jia Xu, in Xiliang, if he wanted to survive the frequent armed riots, he couldn’t learn it, or he was still not good at it, so he was already looking for a second chance early...

Jia Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, because he felt that Feiqian seemed to be in a hurry when he left Pingyang this time, and even if he wanted to head south, he didn't have to leave so quickly. Even if the situation in Chang'an is corrupted to the extreme, it will not lose a few hairs for Feiqian, the Bingbei political group.

  Yang Biao is expected to win the final victory, but it will definitely not be easy.

   This is Jia Xu's inference, even at a very early time, Jia Xu has already come to such a conclusion. Regardless of whether it is the political arena or the battlefield, if you want to win, you cannot follow the pace of the opponent, and you cannot entangle too much in the area that the opponent is familiar with. Knowing the change, defeat has become a matter of course...

   "...The key is Emperor Han..." Fei Qian frowned and said in a low voice.

  Jia Xu nodded and said: "...As long as the Marquis of Linjin doesn't push too much, Zhong Shangshu dare not be too disrespectful to His Majesty. After all, the responsibility is so heavy that no one can afford it...just..."

  Jia Xu's statement was also very clear, and Fei Qian nodded in agreement. There is no doubt about this. As long as the head is not flooded, no one dares to really do anything to Han Emperor Liu Xie at this stage, but it will be difficult to say after a long time.

   It's like Yuan Shao in Jizhou had the idea of ​​electing Liu Yu to be the emperor, and he took practical actions. If Liu Yu himself strongly opposed it, there might be two Han emperors in the world now. Then will Yang Biao be forced to a certain point, or when he feels that he can't continue to fight with Zhong Shao, he will also consider making a move like Yuan Shao?

  Of course such a move requires a certain amount of time and candidates. Yang Biao may also have such thoughts at this moment, but it is not so easy to find someone with the right reputation and status.

  Fei Qian's current troubles are not only this matter, but also a more important problem...

   Feiqian was silent for a while, then nodded to Jia Xu, signaling to let Jia Xu go to work on his own, and ended this short meeting. Fei Qian gave up the idea of ​​discussing with Jia Xu, and it is better to prepare to come up with a general framework before discussing.

   Jia Xu secretly raised his eyes to glance at Fei Qian, cupped his hands, lowered his head, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and saluted.

Fei Qian didn't notice Jia Xu's expression, because the matter he was pondering now related to the direction of the next few years, or even the next few decades, so all his energy was concentrated on thinking about this issue. After all, Fei Qian didn't think about it first. Knowing the cause and effect, not weighing the pros and cons, I have no idea at all, just listening to others say that one is one, and two is two, isn't it becoming someone else's puppet?

Moreover, under the current situation, this problem has to be put on the table, and it needs to be weighed by Fei Qian, because this problem will happen soon, so it is best to make a plan before this problem comes, In order not to be caught off guard at that time.

  In fact, this question is simple and simple, and it is complicated and complicated. It is the problem of Emperor Han, which is the so-called "narrow the emperor to order the princes"!

  Some people will definitely say, what's wrong with this?

  Put Handi under the creaking nest!

  However, in the past few days, Fei Qian faintly realized in his heart that such a simple and rude method may have great sequelae...

   This sequelae was proved to be an effective method by Cao Cao in later generations, but it also brought Cao Cao a lifetime of regret.

   Is it beneficial to "narrow the emperor to order the princes"?

   Of course there is!

Through such measures, Cao Cao successfully tied the Emperor of Han to his own chariot, and also gained the political commanding heights. Whether it was internal or external, he not only improved his status, but also expanded his influence, and finally went smoothly. On a road to hegemony.

But in the same way, Cao Cao's behavior also attracted many royalists. These royalists surrounded the Emperor Han. In the middle and late stages, he was completely caught in political battles, and he could no longer gather a large number of troops to conquer Liu Bei and Sun Quan like the Battle of Chibi. Externally, we have to contend with two powerful competitors. Internally, we also need to deal with a large group of royalists who lose their links from time to time, and even don’t know when they will lose their links. This...

  This cannot but be said to be the disadvantage of holding the emperor.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Fei Qian is naturally clear about this contradiction, but in terms of his current actual situation, what are the advantages and disadvantages brought about by such a move, are they within his tolerance range, and for the future Whether there will be greater obstacles to the promotion of reforms, these naturally need to be carefully weighed by Fei Qian, and must be considered by Fei Qian alone, because in this Han Dynasty, no one knows what is happening in history except himself. What is the next development.

  Some people say that Yuan Shao is stupid and chose to give up when he had the opportunity to meet the Han Emperor. They said that Yuan Shao's counselors had already made preparations to meet the Han Emperor, but they were overthrown by Yuan Shao in the end, which made it easier for Cao Cao...

   But actually?

  Is Yuan Shao really that stupid?

  Sorry, although Fei Qian didn't meet Yuan Shao head-on, but since Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, how can a political idiot do these tricks?

We must know that when Yuan Shao and Han Fu were confronting each other, there were not enough counselors around them. First-class counselors such as Tian Feng and Jushou, or quasi-first-class counselors, were still officials in Jizhou, not Yuan Shao's subordinates. . As for the people who followed Yuan Shao at that time, there were only Feng Ji and Xu You. Logically speaking, they should be at most second-rate counselors.

   What's more, Yuan Shao actually made preparations to welcome Emperor Han.

Historically, after Emperor Han arrived in Luoyang, Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu as an envoy to pay respects to Emperor Han and offer tribute to Luoyang. Perhaps he also expressed some kindness to Emperor Han at that time, but in the end he did not know why. Emperor Han was not tempted...

   Until later, when Cao Cao went, Emperor Han seemed to be logical, and finally followed Cao Cao to Xuchang, and also achieved Cao Cao's reputation as "the narrow emperor to order the princes".

Ok…

  Fei Qian rolled his eyes, and seemed to feel that something was wrong...

The Hanshu is contemporary history. The Three Kingdoms is half of contemporary history. The Later Hanshu is written by later generations. This has led to the details of many events being either obscured or omitted. The real situation may have been unknown.

   It's like the details of this "narrow emperor to order the princes"!

  Why didn't Liu Xie hold Cao Cao's little hand when Yuan Shao showed his kindness?

  In this incident, what kind of behavior did the characters from all sides do, and how did they guide the development of this incident?

  When I was a child, Fei Qian hated studying history the most, because no matter it was the history teacher or the history textbooks, it was always monotonous and boring. The cold year numbers and strange names formed one after another events, and it hurts to memorize...

  Who remembers whether Yuan Shao died in 202 or 203?

  Who remembers the Battle of Chibi in 207 or 208?

  Most people probably just remember Huang Gai’s red **** and Zhuge’s Dong Feng Po…

  But the truth of history is often covered up under such boring, simple, uninteresting numbers and names. How did the final result of "the narrow emperor order the princes" come about under the circumstances at the time?

  Han Emperor Liu Xie was a person after all, not an item. This matter can be seen in Cao Cao's many counterattacks from the royalists. Moreover, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was not completely incompetent. After he abdicated, when he was the Duke of Shanyang, the governance of Shanyang was well-organized and the people returned their hearts. Even after Liu Xie's death, many people spontaneously took the loess to Build a mausoleum for Liu Xie...

  Therefore, Yuan Shao did not welcome Emperor Han, perhaps partly because of Yuan Shao himself, and partly because of Emperor Han Liu Xie, or those around Liu Xie.

   So what now?

  Is it necessary for me to "narrow the emperor to order the princes"?

   Or consider it from another angle, is it suitable for me to carry out "narrow the emperor to order the princes"?

  People in later generations often say that following the path of others and leaving others nowhere to go may sound cool, but the problem is that it must be easy to follow the path of others?

   To be narrow, or not to be narrow, that is the question. And it will affect the whole body, no matter which direction you choose, it will trigger a series of reactions, and these reactions will not be written in history books.

Feiqian’s current situation, for example, is actually a very simple private enterprise with flat management. Its development momentum and profit scale are considered good. Now there is a sudden financing opportunity. It may be possible to go public or merge a company. It was originally an old company with a big brand. Of course, this old company has assets and liabilities...

It's great to have money in front of you, but after the excitement, the equity is diluted, and then there are not a few people whose companies become other people's holding companies, even if they firmly control the dominant position in the process of capital reorganization However, there are many people who have their capital chain cut off by huge debts.

  As the chairman and general manager of Bingbei Political Group, the problems facing Fei Qian are also so complicated, it seems that how to choose is a difficult problem.

Ushering in the emperor, it is natural to gain political status, but also a lot of royalist people have been added to the organization. Sometimes these people will be lubricating oil and can help coordinate and handle affairs, but sometimes they will become Grit, which makes the whole system malfunction.

Regardless of the history books, it seems that everyone was happy when Cao Cao went. Whether it is the emperor or the officials, they all looked like a matter of course, but you must know that whether it is the Wei Shu or the Three Kingdoms, they are all from the Wei and Jin lines, so naturally they all picked up some good ones. Write, what happened in it, or something was made, who knows?

  However, if you don’t welcome the emperor, you are giving up the political benefits to others. When others order you in the name of the emperor, you will inevitably regret it like Yuan Shao...

   Fei Qian frowned, holding the whip in his hand, tapping it lightly, and weighing it.

  This emperor of Han, what kind of model should he adopt now? To marry, um, to meet, or not to meet?

  This question is so difficult...
