Three Kingdoms

 Chapter 3057 This is a despicable evil

 There is a hill in Yangzhai, Yingchuan. The hill is not big, and there is only a courtyard built on the mountain. The courtyard is quite simple, but there are constant guests and laughter every day.

In front of the gate of the courtyard, there is a large stone with the word "Handan" carved on it.

 Among Yangzhai, there is Handan.

The Zhuangzi named "Handan" here belongs to Handan Chun.

The Handan surname is a rather peculiar surname branch. It was relatively common before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but gradually disappeared after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Perhaps it was lost in the Wuhu chaos, or due to political mistakes. Their homes were confiscated and their clans were exterminated, and the remaining people had to change their surnames to survive in troubled times...

It’s just that the current Handan Village of the Handan family is a weathervane for some of the Qingliu people in Yangzhai.

 Among the Handan clan, there are two who are relatively famous today. One is a Handan merchant who is currently serving as the governor of Yongzhou, and the other is Handan Chun, a romantic celebrity.

　　　Celebrities come from the pure stream. Most "celebrities" think that they are both pure and flowing, but in fact there are several types of clear streams. There is one type who likes to talk about everything, and is the best at giving advice, but has nothing to do with the matter; and the other type is like Handan Chun, who laughs and curses all the time, and just wants to sleep well. ; The remaining very small number are true hermits and do not care about things outside the mountains.

Handan Chun probably belongs to the second type, or at this stage he is the second type.

Because Handan Chun is a funny person, good at music and good at calligraphy, he naturally attracts many people to hang out with him.

Thatched pavilion, copper incense burner, and the sound of a piano.

Handan Chun was playing the harp in the thatched pavilion. People around him were sitting or lying down, shaking their heads, or tapping joints lightly, looking carefree and contented. The war seemed very far away from them, like something from another dimension. They could not hear the screams of the soldiers before they died of hard work, nor could they smell the **** and decaying smell of the smoke-filled battlefield.

 In their world, there seems to be only music.

 Drinks.

 There is still love…

 At the end of the song, someone clapped and praised, "This song is wonderful!" Does it have a name? 』

　　　『Let’s call it the new law! ” Handan Chun laughed.

　　　　　新法? Haha..." Another person said, "Yesterday I heard that the emperor wanted to compose a new law, and I thought it was unacceptable to hear corruption. Now I have to listen to Handan to create a new law, and then I know that this law is not that law, and the laws are different..."

"The emperor wants a new law to stabilize the hearts of the people. This is a good reason..." A person next to him said, "But these new and old laws are not as beautiful as the Handan rhythm..."

　　　　Exactly, exactly...』

Handan Chun said with a smile: "You are a country person, how can you reach the elegant hall?" 』

　　　The countryside is more beautiful than the palace! "Someone raised his arms and shouted, "Such a big rat, big rat, you can't eat my grain!" Now I have no millet, but how can I have a huge rat! 』

"Hahaha…"

 Everyone burst out laughing.

After a while, someone raised his hand towards Handan Chun and said: "The dispute between the new law and the old law, the new law and the old law, the new government and the old government is far-fetched, endlessly fighting for profit, not following the principles, and disregarding the wishes of the people. It is really ridiculous." , I wonder if Mr. Handan has a similar story? 』

Handan Chun thought for a while and said with a smile: "There is also a rumor from the countryside..."

　　　『Haha, come on, come on! 』

Even before Handan Chun told the story, everyone was already ready to laugh, and the scene was very joyful.

　　　　Someone once heard something, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not. A boss had lost his wife and mother and went to offer sacrifices to them. He asked someone to write an article, but he mistakenly copied it from the ancient text and wrote it to the person who offered sacrifices to his wife and father. Those who knew it could see that the owner was very strange to the museum master. The museum master argued, "How can the ancient text be wrong? It must be wrong!"

 Everyone burst out laughing, and the sound of laughter resounded throughout the hall.

Handan Chun sat over there, smiling slightly, and then said to the child beside him: "Tianxiang, I want to stroke another song..."

 …

 …

Zhong Yao looked up at the green tiles on the palace wall.

 A piece of Hanwatang.

Originally, this tile should have the words "天无极" on it, but now, I don't know if it is covered by mud and moss, or it is damaged by decay. Anyway, the original word "天" looks like a headless and severed tile. The "person" with the hand is supporting the broken arm and swinging...

A little Huangman took small steps and hurried to Zhong Yao, bent down and stuck his buttocks out, "Your Majesty invites you." 』

Zhong Yao lowered his head. His face was neither sad nor happy, neither angry nor angry. He straightened his clothes and stepped forward.

Xiao Huangmen took a break and glanced sideways in the direction Zhong Yao was looking at before.

 He saw nothing.

 …

 …

 In Xu County.

 Xun Pei has been away from his hometown in Yingchuan for a long time...

Well, Xu County is also Yingchuan, but it is not the old territory of the Xun family.

Perhaps since Xun Yu became the head of the Xun family, Xun Pei’s family no longer belongs anywhere.

 But this time, Xun Pi is planning to return to his hometown.

Xun Pei feels that he should know Fei Qian, because they all have the same character, at least they are much different from Pei...

Xun Pi used to think that based on his status as a direct descendant and the official position he held, well, although this official position was not as big as the one Xun Yu holds now, at least at that time he was considered a figure in the scene, a county official. . Therefore, it should be unobjectionable and natural for him to inherit the family head after Xun Shuang's death. However, the real situation was beyond his expectation. Several ancestors and uncles in the family remained silent. Even Xun Shuang No one of Fei's relatives, old officials or friends stood up to speak for Xun Fei, which allowed Xun Yu to easily obtain the position of the head of the family and left Xun Fei shameless to continue to stay in Yangzhai.

 In the final analysis, it is because Xun Pi does not have enough prestige and achievements, let alone the talents that can allow Xun to flourish.

 The problem is that Xun Pi doesn’t think so.

Xun Pei thought this was treason!

Although it is said that the succession of the head of the family within the gentry system is directly related to the honor and disgrace of the family, the heads of many gentry families in this dynasty are not necessarily passed down to direct descendants rather than concubines. More often, it is based on talent and the wise are the heads of the family. It is also an important choice for the succession of the family head of this dynasty, but similarly, in addition to the word "virtuous", there is also the word "long"!

Xun Pei may not be as "virtuous" as Xun Yu, but he is "long" enough!

For example, even if Xun Yu's "virtuous" score is 100 points, his "long" score is basically zero, because not only did Xun Shuang have a legitimate son, but Xun Yu also had an elder brother. What is the "long" score? It can’t be counted as coming from Xun Yu. On the other hand, Xun Fei is at least eighty or ninety points in terms of "longness" and "virtuous". Naturally, he is not as good as Xun Yu, but he still has sixty or seventy points. So the sum of the two, the total score is not more than Xun Yu?

Isn’t this an indisputable fact?

But why was it that after Xun Shuang died, no one spoke up, took his place, or even spoke for Xun Pei?

The reason why Xun Pei was inconvenient to speak was because when Xun Shuang was still alive, he focused on cultivating Xun Yu. He spared no effort to praise him in front of family friends, and even said in public many times that the prosperity of this generation of Xun family depends on Xun Yu. Yu's, the meaning is very clear, so Xun Yu naturally became the natural candidate for the next generation head of the Xun family at that time. And after Xun Shuang died, Xun Pei couldn't keep his filial piety? How could he speak up for himself and "fight for power" while observing filial piety?

Xun Pei thought that based on his total score, he could definitely beat Xun Yu. No matter what his father said before he was alive, people still have to see what the living can do, so when he came out after observing the hot filial piety...

 There's nothing wrong with him...

Later, when Xun Pi wanted to have a fight with Xun Yu, something happened. Yuan Shao connected too quickly. Many people thought that Xun Yu's move to the north was really good, so no one cared about Xun Pi at all. What do you think...

When Yuan Shao's reputation began to fade and Xun Pei wanted to come back for a third round, Xun Yu once again stuck to the side of Cao Cao, who had become famous. His official position was infinitely more enchanting than Xun Pei's, attracting the disciples of Xun's family to bow to him. …

　　One attempt failed, and after two and three attempts, Xun Pi didn't have much energy left, but the hatred in his heart lasted forever.

 Speaking of truth, of course Xun Pi can understand it, but understanding it does not mean that he can forgive it.

At that time, the fight against Dong was vigorous. Not only the Xun family, but almost all families had to take sides. Even the Yuan family was no exception. Everything was focused on fighting against Dong. If the head of the family is not determined, many things will not be able to unfold and operate, so it is very urgent to determine the head of the family first...       The opportunity, once lost, will inevitably lead to sighs.

But now, Xun Pi wants to go home.

If Cao Cao wins, nothing will be different, but what if Cao Cao loses?

Cao Cao claims to have a million soldiers. This number is of course a lie to fools. If they really were all a million elite soldiers, then there would be no need to fight.

Feiqian has never announced how many soldiers there are. It's like a deep pool. It doesn't seem big at first glance, but no one knows how deep it is...

Xun Pei calculated that there were at least 100,000 soldiers under Fei Qian's command, with 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers distributed in various places for guarding, and the other half was east of the Chang'an River. So this battle looks like Cao Cao took advantage, but in fact, it may be between two choices.

 In this case, his opportunity has come.

Xun Pei doesn’t care who wins or loses between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, but he cares about who wins or loses between him and Xun Yu.

Of course, Xun Pi was not aiming for nothing, nor was it for his own selfish desires, at least that's what he thought. Because Xun Pei feels that the Xun family does not look like the number one in Yingchuan now!

 What are the top nobles of the Han Dynasty?

 Look at what the Yuan family was like before it declined!

Xun Yu is now in charge of the Secretariat. As a result, the Xun family has not reaped any benefits. They have not paid less than they should pay, and they have not received more of what they should receive. How can this be called a good family head?

Xun Pei believes that there must be many people in the Xun family who are dissatisfied, but just like him back then, no one stood up and said the first thing...

 So he was ready to go home.

 Waiting for the opportunity.

 …

 …

Jiangdong.

In the darkened room, there was a continuous and low coughing sound. The coughing was heartbreaking and even stopped for more than ten breaths because he couldn't breathe. It made the hearts of those listening next to him tighten.

 When the temperature gets cold, it irritates the trachea, and Zhou Yu takes drugs, and a cool breeze blows from the river...

Even ordinary people may not be able to be safe, let alone Zhou Yu who still suffers from old illnesses?

"Commander..." Lu Su felt heartbroken when he heard Zhou Yu cough. Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and he muttered softly, "Why are you suffering, why are you suffering..."

 The current medical skills of the Han Dynasty are naturally unable to compare with those of later generations, so some misconceptions are still prevalent.

For example, if a cough is caused by evil wind entering the body, one must live in an airtight small room to avoid the "evil wind". This is like the early days of Western medicine where all diseases were caused without some blood being drawn in advance. In later generations, hospitals no matter what Internal diseases and external diseases such as beriberi are all treated with a check-up package first...

There are some things that people know are right, but no one will do them because it will harm themselves or existing interests. However, there are also some things that people know that are wrong, but people will still do them, also because of the interests.

 The interests of Jiangdong are Jiangdong.

 It’s not Jiangbei.

  Not even the Central Plains!

Therefore, Zhou Yu insisted on making such a trip. Not only did no one think that Zhou Yu had worked hard and had merit, but instead they smiled coldly, taunted with disdain, and swore viciously, "You deserve it!" 』

Lu Su is not from Jiangdong.

 At that time, he was a meat ticket, Zhou Yu was a gangster, and the granary was a ransom.

 But now, he is Zhou Yu's friend, perhaps his only friend.

 After a while, Zhou Yu stopped coughing and waved his hand to let the serving maids and attendants leave.

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su, who was sitting in the corner of the small room. After a while and his breathing became more stable, he said in a hoarse voice, "Zijing, I'm fine... Are you still here?" Aren't you afraid of getting sick? 』

In the past, when Zhou Yu was healthy, his voice was clear and clear, like the chirping of a phoenix. Although it was not earth-shattering, it was pleasant and comfortable to listen to. But now, Zhou Yu's voice is like scratching on a stone with fingernails. The sound was not loud, but it made people's hair stand on end.

 Zhou Yu couldn't speak loudly, because loud noises would make him cough easily.

　　　　… Lu Su didn’t say anything, just stared at Zhou Yu.

He has said what needs to be said before, but Zhou Yu still took the boat to cross the river regardless of himself and did a thankless task. What else can Lu Su say?

Zhou Yu said: "Jiangdong must go out..."

Lu Su couldn't help but respond, "I've said this a long time ago...and except you, no one wants to go out now!" 』

 Can Jiangdong still be regarded as Jiangdong when it goes abroad?

 Lu Su doesn’t know.

But Lu Su knew that Jiangdong would not be able to achieve climate change.

 As the saying goes, it is difficult to support a single tree, and now the single tree is even crumbling.

 For a regime, talent is undoubtedly the foundation of the regime and an important resource for its development and continued existence. Especially in today's troubled times, talents are a decisive and powerful competitive force.

Although in terms of guest officer conditions, compared with the Central Plains region, the Jiangdong region is indeed slightly deficient in the inheritance of scriptures, and its economic development is not as good as that of Jizhou and Yuzhou, but this is not the point. The point is that the people here are from the beginning. Lost at the starting line.

In later generations, the word "starting line" is undoubtedly harmful to people's lives. It makes many people mistakenly think that the starting line is a fair straight line. However, in fact, the real starting line is not like this, but three-dimensional. Ordinary people think that the starting line is a fair straight line. The line is under your feet, but it is actually just an illusory projection of the line above.

 In terms of talent base, Cao Cao undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. Cao Cao's rule happens to be the most culturally prosperous area of ​​the Han Dynasty. Although there are many people and many things, and there are many bad things and good things, the outstanding talents among them are enough to support Cao Cao in doing some things. Although there are also hidden dangers, at least Cao Cao is allowed to have this car. There is no problem with the operation of the tank.

 On the other side, Guanzhong took a different approach.

The Qinglong Temple in Chang'an has vaguely become the forefront of Han culture. Although the literati in Shandong have been unwilling to admit this, the various opinions and cultural ideas spread from the Qinglong Temple have become Unknowingly, it influenced many people and attracted many people. Even Lu Su himself would sometimes wonder if he would have the opportunity to travel and go on stage to make some arguments...

Shandong has quantity, Guanzhong has quality, so what does Jiangdong have?

Jiangdong has nothing, only bad things.

 Where are the rotten roots?

 At Sun Jian's side.

Before Sun Jian became a warlord, he could only be regarded as a thug. Not many gentry children thought highly of him, and he also looked down on the gentry children. Therefore, after he killed the Nanyang Prefect, it was even less likely that any gentry children would be willing to join Sun Jian, so under Sun Jian's elder generation Among the core leaders, foreign relatives dominate.

Sun Jian died early. After Sun Ce came to power, he had to suppress his relatives and then promote his own people. Therefore, Sun Ce paid more attention to military power than Sun Jian, but it also made the Sun group too biased towards force and lacked civility. Sun Ce's falling out with the Jiangdong civil servant group only aggravated this problem, and Sun Ce's early death was a major setback for the Jiangdong regime. Although it was said that with the full cooperation of the Sun family's old lady, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others, it was on the verge of being torn apart. The Sun family regained stability, but also lost the best opportunity for development...

While the Sun family was busy filling the plate, other people were either wooing aristocratic families and recommending talents, or building a school palace to attract poor families. But what about Jiangdong? As long as there is no aristocratic family, after all, the nobles in Jiangdong are nothing compared to the Central Plains, and Jiangdong has no time to build any academic palaces or recruit any poor families. When Sun Quan's **** gets a little warmer, he will rebel again and make a fuss.

Faced with such a problem, Sun Shiwan just wanted to shout: Is Niang Xipi there?

 Zhou Yu’s prescription is to go out!

Jiangdong must show his power to the world and show that he has the ambition and strength to compete for hegemony. Only then will he attract more talents. Otherwise, when a knowledgeable person sees Jiangdong, he will just be a city defender fighting in his nest. How many people will Interested in joining the Koto camp? Without outside talents joining Jiangdong's camp, Jiangdong would be like being stuck in a quagmire. Even if he did nothing wrong, he would be slowly swallowed up and suffocated to death!

 So Jiangdong must march!

 Show it to people in Jiangdong, and also to everyone in the world!

 This is a powerful medicine.

 If you don’t fight him out, you will die. He will die early and die later!

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and was about to say something to Lu Su when he suddenly heard that soldiers were coming in a hurry. He knelt down outside the house with a bang and reported in a low voice, "Captain, Commander... Urgent report from the front, Governor Huang." …Captain Huang’s army was defeated…”
