Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

If we want to discuss top talents, the Zhuge family is indeed very powerful now. Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin are both the most outstanding figures in the world, but if we talk about the family, the Zhuge family is really just a third-rate family.

Geniuses are common in every family. After all, it is normal for a family to have several top figures after a long period of time. At most, the Zhuge family’s ancestral tombs are more powerful this time, but genius is genius, and heritage is heritage.

Top figures can bring enough heritage to the family in this era, but how much power does a third-rate family that has just produced top figures have?

Can you nod like the Zheng family in Xingyang and pull out enough people to fill the bureaucratic system of a region? Can you be like the old Chen family, when Chen Shi died, more than 30,000 scholars came to see him off? Can you, like Yuan Yang, directly mobilize more than 50% of the officials in the court to defend certain things when necessary?

Zhuge Liang is indeed a genius, but there is only one Zhuge Liang. The above grassroots and foundation are not something a genius can accumulate. It takes several generations to continuously form a network of connections.

Of course, the network of connections is useless for Zhuge Liang, who is a god-level existence.

It is not that the people of Shu Han in the official history have no ideas about Zhuge Liang. It can only be said that Zhuge Liang is too strong, and their power and connections are not enough to support the ideas of this group of people.

So most other families are strong in the family itself, while the Zhuge family is strong in people.

To put it bluntly, when Chen Qun in the official history was in Xuzhou, Liu Bei should not have an inferiority complex and accept Chen Qun. Then the prime minister of the Ji Han must be Chen Qun, not Zhuge Liang. This is not because of ability, but because of connections and relationship background.

It is true that there is a clear gap between Chen Qun's ability and Zhuge Liang's, but that is enough to maintain the ability of the bureaucratic system to change blood, combined with his own ability, it is actually enough to sit firmly in the position of prime minister.

As I said, ability is very important, but the ability required for most positions is not extraordinary. When the abilities of both parties are not enough to bear the job responsibilities, and one cannot bear the job responsibilities, things beyond ability are actually more important than ability.

So the people of Xuzhou died in vain, and the blood of more than 100,000 people in the history books was only enough to stain a few lines.

Even if those noble families in Kandahar are trash, even if there is a way to die, for most noble families, this is also a matter of sympathy, so even if they do not take the initiative to preach, at least they will not stop the transmission of this matter.

On the contrary, how to say the Xuzhou incident, for the noble families, this is the best time for rational people - people are dead, things have passed, and they have to look forward. People cannot live in the past. It is meaningless to keep entangled in the original mistakes. Things have already happened. Can you change the past? Since Cao Sikong still exists in the court, as a bureaucrat of the Han Dynasty, some dignity needs to be maintained. This is not to protect Cao Cao, but to protect this country.

In short, there are many reasons, and these reasons are indeed quite legitimate, but ordinary people will feel unhappy when they hear them. But so what, you have a channel to speak out, can you pass your voice to people with the same ideas? Do you have the right to interpret universal morality and the right to distinguish the law?

You don’t have any, what’s the point of saying that!

There are many people in this world who know that certain things are wrong, and there must be many people in the same situation as you. In theory, you can find these people with a little effort, and then sit down with them and have a good exchange, and then you can make them your teammates.

But do you have the time? Do you have the energy?

What’s the point of saying that?

The means by which a few people suppress the majority of people is to put it bluntly, which is to form an organization and information asymmetry. Lao Cao’s massacre in Xuzhou, no matter how big it is, it is difficult for Xuzhou people to form an organization to fight against Lao Cao, but Lao Cao did not destroy a few aristocratic families according to the rules, so Lao Cao deserved to be treated like this.

There is basically no difference between the aristocratic families and Lao Cao at the information level. Although there is a gap between the two sides at the organizational level, Lao Cao did not crush them, so he could fight naturally.

Why are the same things handled differently and have different results? In addition to the internal gap of the event itself, it is more likely the gap in external forces.

Even if everyone knows that the handling of this matter is wrong, if you cannot form an organization or group to criticize, then the organization and group that handles this matter can crush it one by one.

The power of individuals is fragile to the organization most of the time. There are indeed immortals who can fight against the organization with their own strength, but they all failed in the end. The best way to fight an organization is still another organization, which is disgusting.

The people who died in Xuzhou remembered the hatred and came to assassinate Lao Cao, which explained the problem, but they had long been divided by propaganda and could not work together.

To put it bluntly, if three million people went to Chang'an and knelt at Xuanwu Gate to ask the Taiwei for justice, Cao Cao would have to be sent back and executed at the door that day, and there would be no need for trial.

The law means nothing under such rules. To put it bluntly, this thing is nothing but the collective will of the ruling class. The essence of the state is nothing but an organized and systematic violence machine of the ruling class. What is the ruling class? It is not a few lines written in a book. It is a powerful entity that can run organizations and systems.

No matter what kind of organization this is, feudal organization, clan organization, capital organization, moral organization, etc., it's all fine, as long as you can play one, you can count those words.

However, most people can't even form this part of knowledge. After learning, it is squeezed out of the folds of their brains, so that there is nothing left.

The saying that knowledge changes destiny is true. In this world, the only thing that can fight against all those things that are not pleasing to the eye is knowledge. The biggest gap between Xuzhou locals and Han family is actually the gap in knowledge.

The so-called human beings in later generations cannot make money beyond their own cognition. In other words, things beyond cognition are the skills of others to make money from you.

Cao Cao knew this, and the Cao family also knew this, but it was meaningless. Some mistakes can be ignored because others can't pursue them. Even some crimes are like this. Hundreds, thousands, or even more people know that this is a crime, but the people who are trampled on have no way to deal with it. They can only be so disgusting, just like the people who were massacred in Xuzhou.

The most intense resistance that the people of Xuzhou can make is to arrange everything to assassinate, but the difficulty coefficient is extremely high, seeing that Lao Cao is still alive.

In fact, even in the future, after having a special car, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to assassinate, or even to be more direct, you can't get in touch with it, and extreme ideas can only be ideas, so that contradictions can only accumulate at the grassroots level.

But you can't ignore some mistakes, because the other party has the ability to enforce them by force. Cao Cao can kill the aristocratic families in Kandahar, but he can't kill Chen Zichuan, so what should be recorded in the history books will be recorded as it should be.

This is the most embarrassing place for the Cao family now, and it is also the core of the unstable foundation of the Cao family. The foundation is unstable not because of the massacre, but because of the propaganda.

Because some things can be dealt with by pretending not to know, but when they are brought to the surface, they can only be dealt with according to the rules. However, the question now is how many people in this world have the ability to bring problems to the surface, that is, the problem returns to its essence. The few lines in the book are just a few lines, and you are theoretically in the few lines, but your authority has been taken back.

But at least you are given the authority in name, and with this name, at least there is a chance to regain the authority. Without this name, there is really nothing.

Cao Ren, a descendant of the Cao family who has a big picture, has long realized this, but he can't shut those people up. The corruption of the situation started from that time. Until now, no matter how good Cao Cao's performance is, it is actually meaningless. In essence, it is the people's support.

"Go to the ferry." Cao Ren went through all the things in his mind, and then said coldly, "Brother Miaocai, be prepared. Something that you can't understand may happen next, but when the time comes, you should consider how to deal with it."

"Cao Zixiao knows everything, and he knows it, but he is still struggling." Zhang Xiu drove back and said to Pang De, "But some things, once you think about them, you can't go back."

Loyalty, loyalty is shit, Cao Ren can die for his elder brother, but Cao Ren can't die for Cao Sikong, especially Cao Sikong like now.

"What should we do now?" Le Jin said expressionlessly. He didn't want to get involved in this, but Lao Cao's approach did make him a little confused.

"Follow Cao Zixiao to attack, and after the battle, go to Kandahar and take Lao Cao directly and send him away." Zhang Xiu said slowly. He didn't want to get entangled in this matter. Even if someone sent him a very complete plan, it was too slow, so it was better to keep it simple.

"What about General Dian and the Tiger Guards?" Le Jin frowned and said.

"Leave it to me, General Dian. The Tiger Guards will see the situation at that time. If it doesn't work, we can only kill them. When we want to set things right, we can't delay." Zhang Xiu said coldly.

"I'm a little worried about Ardashir." Le Jin frowned and said.

"He only has so many people. Can he wipe us out?" Pang De sneered.

"That's about it. No matter how strong Ardashir is, it's just like that. Our biggest problem now is that our overall strength can't be brought into play. To put it bluntly, with our current fighting style, who can firmly believe that they will not be sold out?" Zhang Xiu sneered and said, "The people of Liangzhou don't care about being bait, because bait has three times the merit, but can it be implemented?"

The three times merit of bait has been around almost since ancient times. After all, it is inevitable to use bait when fighting. Sometimes the victory or defeat of the main battlefield really depends on bait. During the Battle of the Ganges, Yu Jin defeated Borojia by bait, directly killing Brah and then taking Borojia.

But what was the price? Half of the army that served as bait died, and only Zhao Zhen and Yang Tuo, the veterans who rushed to the front, survived. But from a strategic point of view, was this bait wrong?

The true meaning of the commander is to let the soldiers die on the battlefield with the greatest value when losses are inevitable.

Therefore, bait has always been triple merit since ancient times. Those who implement the bait plan survive, regardless of the other three times. Danger and opportunity coexist, so being pulled to be bait is not unacceptable. Who hasn't been a bait here?

But in this situation, officers and officers of other surnames have doubts about Lao Cao. Damn, can Lao Cao implement this policy?

"Solve it as soon as possible. My people who stayed in Kandahar caught up with me and said that the prince had been imprisoned." Pang De's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

Again, Cao Ang is not the best and most outstanding monarch, but Cao's operation really forced everyone to Cao Ang.

Without Cao's comparison, Cao Ang's behavior in the past year or so was at most excellent, and it was not enough to subdue Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Xu Huang, Le Jin and other generals of other surnames, but with Cao Cao as a negative example, Cao Ang immediately became the only god choice!

What else can I say? I decided to manually add Liu Shu to the prince!

"I'm ready to execute it. If the prince is under house arrest, it doesn't need to be launched after returning, but imprisonment..." Zhang Xiu was silent for a while. He had no choice. Save Cao Ang. Imprisonment is really fatal. Although privately mobilizing troops is indeed a fatal operation, it at least proves that Cao Ang really has this awareness.

"Will the officers of Cao and Xiahou stand with me?" Le Jin asked with a sigh.

"As long as we are neutral, we can solve the problem ourselves. Of course, if we are not neutral..." Zhang Xiu looked at Pang De. If he was not neutral, he would learn from Cao's behavior at that time and rush to Cao's house to let Cao bet whether they dared to do what Cao did.

As for what would Cao Ang do if he came to power, it was like this. What else could he say? At most, he would leave after rectifying the chaos. If he didn't do this, he would leave in disgrace and not even have a reputation. If he did this, at least someone would be willing to accept him after he left.

The end of the Han Dynasty was an era of fame. If you were not famous, you were trash. If you were famous, you would naturally have a good background. So at this point, the officers of other surnames were also ready to be fifteen!

"Then, shall we continue to follow to the ferry?" Le Jin tried. Going to the high mountain camp was not very realistic in Le Jin's opinion. He even suspected that Ardashir was acting. After all, at this point in time, if Ardashir bet his life with them directly, both sides would lose if he won.

I got up late, I will make up for it tomorrow
