Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chang'an has been a mixed bag recently. In addition to the heads of various families who came to Chang'an in advance because of the second five-year plan, the major families in Central Asia were severely affected by the disaster. In the spirit of sending some people to Chang'an to save some food, the families that originally only came with a dozen people wanted to squeeze thousands of people in. Chang'an rice is expensive, but it is better than having no rice in Central Asia!

In addition to the Grand Martial Arts, which is said to be internal information but is actually qualified to participate in the competition, almost all the contestants have received the news from various channels at this time. In the spirit of gathering intelligence in advance, investigating opponents, and adapting to the climate of Chang'an, the high-melting veterans have also gathered one after another.

However, to be honest, Chang'an itself has a large number of top veterans on duty. It is not a problem to add a few hundred or more. It's just that as the number of top veterans increases, the guys who come to watch the excitement from all directions also begin to gather in Chang'an. After all, if you can't participate in the Grand Martial Arts, it's good to watch the excitement!

Considering that some veterans and spectators come with friends, nephews, etc., the former watch the fun, and the latter learn while watching. After all, even the top veterans cannot guarantee that the talents they have mastered are the best. Not to mention the effects of different talents in different hands, even the same talents are different in the hands of different masters.

As a top master, the routes of others are generally only of reference significance to oneself, but one's own nephews are still young and have considerable plasticity. The talents that one has refined and the direction of adjustment and strengthening may not be suitable for one's nephews. Come here to open your eyes, and you may find a suitable person to imitate.

As a result, there are so many foreign populations coming to Chang'an every day that Jingzhao Yin Wang Yi specifically ordered the counties under Chang'an to absorb the population for temporary residence. Although there are many places for temporary residence in Chang'an, even if all these people are absorbed, the new Chang'an City built by Chen Xi can also accommodate them, but considering that there are all kinds of people from all over the world, it is too difficult to manage them if they gather in Chang'an for a long time. Wang Yi thinks that it is better to put them all in when the big martial arts show is really started, and it is better to scatter them in the counties under his jurisdiction.

However, even so, the recent flow of people in Chang'an City is almost one-fifth higher than normal, and the probability of fighting has also increased a lot. There are quarrels and fights between aristocratic families, and there are also local veterans who meet and exchange ideas when they are happy to see the prey, and there are also angry fights.

No matter how much the sins of the world are attributed to Liu Bei, the real enemies will still have red eyes when they meet. After all, no matter how great Chen Xi is, it took him several years to assist Liu Bei in defeating Yuan Shao. During this period, there were also many fights between the civil wars in the Central Plains.

If we count the fighting between the Yellow Turbans and the regular army, there will be even more people with hatred.

However, these are all killings on the battlefield. After Liu Bei took all the sins on himself, most of the soldiers were able to let go of such hatred. Even if the rest did not completely let go of hatred, they would not take the initiative to seek revenge as long as they did not see each other.

Liu Bei's benevolence and Chen Xi's morality cut off the chain of hatred to a great extent.

At least there are basically no incidents of mutual killing between the lower classes for hatred on the battlefield. Of course, on the other hand, the justice of those who started the war was reviewed by tens of millions of people.

But to say that there is no hatred at all, how can I say it? It was fine when Liu Bei was present. If Liu Bei was not present, the two sides could pretend not to know if they were far away. But if Liu Bei was not present and the two sides met, and there were no other veterans around to pull them, it is possible that they would fight to the death.

If one side has an absolute advantage on the battlefield, none of their comrades and brothers died in front of them, while many of their opponents were killed by them, and then when Liu Bei unified the world, he attributed all the blame to his weakness in the past. When the old soldier whose comrades were killed met the old soldier whose brothers were not dead, the old soldier would just run away considering Liu Bei's benevolence.

Generally speaking, if you want to run when your strength reaches this level, it is actually very difficult to catch up, and if you don't take action and just run, someone will definitely stop the person chasing you, and the matter will be over.

But there are very few old soldiers who can have such an advantage. Most of them are you killed my brother, I killed your brother. In this case, when the two sides meet and have a quarrel, it is likely that the new and old grudges will be settled together, and no one will run away.

Fortunately, Liu Bei's presence is strong enough. Most of the time, these old soldiers have a cold face when they meet, just like Mei Wan met Huang Tao, I am a transparent person, I don't want to communicate, and I won't communicate. Huang Tao also has this attitude towards Mei Wan.

In this way, the two sides can coexist. After all, hatred is only a part of life. Even if it is a great hatred like Gao Yi's, which is to kill the whole family and dig up the ancestral graves, Gao Yi can think about the problem calmly after sending one to the whole family and ancestors, and more than enough.

Even more excessive, Chen Baxian killed Wang Sengbian, and Wang Sengbian's son Wang Ban followed Yang Guang to destroy Chen as a pioneer. After the demise of Southern Chen, he opened Chen Baxian's coffin and killed his body, burned the body, smashed the bones into powder, and drank it directly with water.

After that, the always radical Wang Ban became very peaceful. As the Duke of Sheqiu County and a frontier official, he no longer acted as tyrannically as before, and even implemented a large number of policies to benefit the people, and did not expand the liquidation.

All of these show that hatred has a limit. When revenge reaches a certain extent, individuals who are stuck in the mud will gradually regain their sanity.

When Gao Yi killed his whole family, he really said that he would kill all the people with the surname Cao in the world, but now, to be honest, if there is really no way to kill Lao Cao, he will go home to take care of the children.

What opportunity or not? If you really hold your breath like you did back then, what a fart of opportunity you are waiting for. If you can consider the opportunity and think carefully, it actually means a rational assessment.

This is also the reason why the chaos in Chang'an is still under control. After all, over the years, the officers of the Han Dynasty have gradually become rational in this regard.

"Notify Weishuo to find a water conservancy expert, and then organize a group of 30 people and send them there." Chen Xi did not want to send people to Kandahar, but the reality was there. It was not possible not to send people. Some things must be watched by people, even if they had to act.

Of course, it was not to that extent, but too senior water conservancy experts had things to do, so it was enough to send a civilian water conservancy expert who could see through and was personally verified by Liu Yan.

"Then I have no problem." Liu Ye said expressionlessly after listening. He came here to finalize some things. Now that he had a satisfactory answer, Liu Ye was not going to stay in the Government Affairs Office.

When Jing Yuan brought Liu Ye out of the government affairs hall, Cao Chuang had already led several veterans to pretend to patrol at the door. Jing Yuan was an old guard of Weiyang Palace after all, and he recognized where these veterans were from at a glance. He coughed twice and announced to the group of people the solution in Kandahar.

Several Xuzhou veterans had complicated or excited expressions. After all, some veterans had prepared themselves not to seek revenge and live for themselves and their families in the past two years. Cao Cao's Sikong greatly hindered the idea of ​​revenge for these people. In addition to the propaganda that had been going on, and the Xuzhou veterans who were able to survive to repair their appearance in Weiyang Palace, they killed more than a dozen Yanzhou soldiers.

The veterans of the Sixth Layer Melting had all been rewarded with heads. Even if they killed the elite Xiongnu and Kushans later, many of their comrades in the early days might have died under the sword. So until now, some veterans of Xuzhou have no intention of seeking revenge on Lao Cao, even if their relatives did die in the Xuzhou massacre presided over by Lao Cao.

In other words, after more than ten years, they gradually accepted the reality and gave up the idea of ​​revenge. As a result, Jing Yuan told these veterans a piece of news that caught them off guard.

"Follow me!" Jiang Tao said with a gloomy face as he looked at Tang Yi on the side. Then he saluted Liu Ye and turned to leave. He was full of murderous aura, and even Liu Ye frowned slightly.

However, when Jiang Tao was about to leave, Tang Yi grabbed Jiang Tao. He didn't say anything, but just grabbed him. Then Jiang Tao shook his arm fiercely and left with a big stride.

"What about my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece?" Tang Yi asked loudly.

Jiang Tao paused for a moment after hearing this, and then walked away with extremely firm steps. He wanted to take revenge. For so many years, Tang Yi had used countless reasons to persuade him not to go, and he seemed to be convinced, but when this moment came, Jiang Tao found that he had no hesitation at all. I live for revenge.

"Internal History, can you give me a field mission in the direction of Central Asia?" Tang Yi watched Jiang Tao walk faster and faster, and finally left like a shrinking earth, gritted his teeth and saluted Liu Ye.

"You may not be able to kill Cao Mengde if you go. No, to be precise, the probability of success is less than one in a hundred. Even if Cao Mengde is no longer Sikong, someone who knew about this situation should have been prepared long ago. Your force is enough to kill Cao Mengde when you find him, but the reality is that it is difficult for you to find Cao Mengde." Liu Ye said calmly.

"But at least we can bring Brother Jiang back." Tang Yi sighed and said, "I beg the internal historian to be lenient. Revenge is meaningless now."

Tang Yi is qualified to say this, because he and Jiang Tao are from the north of Xuzhou, most of their relatives died, and they joined Liu Bei's army again out of anger. In the end, as fellow villagers, they worked together to shape stones in Weiyang Palace.

It's just that Tang Yi reconciled with his past self, while Jiang Tao is still alive on that day.

"Many of your family members also died at the hands of Cao Mengde." Liu Ye said indifferently.

"The number of Cao's soldiers who died in my hands is no less than my family. Trapped in the dilemma of revenge, it will only make us more empty." Tang Yi sighed and said, "We should have our own lives, not live in the shadow of the past."

"Here, this is a long-term task of about 130 days." Liu Ye flipped through his briefcase, pulled out a tightly sealed small tube from it, and handed it directly to Tang Yi, "It takes five people to carry out together, but only one report is required."

"Thank you, Nei Shi!" Tang Yi took it with both hands after hearing this, then bowed and saluted, and then Tang Yi took the familiar people next to him and left quickly.

"Hatred, hum!" Liu Ye looked at the few people who left and shook his head, "There are often many butchers who are righteous. Chen Zichuan, this guy, really sees some things too clearly."

"Brother He, are you really not going?" After Liu Ye left, Cao Chuang asked He Zhen.

"No, Old Tang doesn't want revenge, and I don't want it either." He Zhen shook his head and said, "Although the saying 'when will revenge end' is a bit exaggerated and a bit easy to say, I still have to say that it does make sense."

A new day began in Kandahar, and Cao Ang received a reply from Chen Xi. As he expected, Chen Xi gave a positive answer and agreed to Cao Ang's proposal. In his reply, he said that he would send a team of professional water conservancy experts to supervise in the near future to ensure that Cao Ang completed the plan of water network reconstruction on time and with quality.

"The most important step has been taken." Cao Ang looked at the secret letter sent by Chen Xi's letter eagle first. It had been stamped with the jade seal, the Taiwei's talisman and Chen Xi's own seal. Of course, it was also sent with it. There was also a reply to Cao Cao's begging for bones. This reply did not exceed Cao Ang's estimate. He sent a fake body of his father to Congling just to add weight.

"Sure enough, it was this plan that really impressed Chen Hou." Mao Jie looked at the secret report handed over by Cao Ang and said with some emotion, "Construction and development."

"Normally, as long as this plan is real, Chen Zichuan will accept it even if it wastes some time." Chen Qun said with a calm expression. He knew Chen Xi quite well.

"In this case, we can be considered to have received the endorsement, and there are no longer legal loopholes in Wei Hou's control of Kandahar." Xun You breathed out and said, "Then what we have to do next is to complete the previous plan, and then This is it..."

As Xun You spoke, he presented a complete official document to Cao Ang. This was what Xun Yu asked him to bring. After all, Xun Yu had to calm down after what happened recently, and the incident with Cao Cao had a great impact on him. It needs to be adjusted.

"My uncle asked me to bring this to the Marquis of Wei. The Marquis of Wei can select and use the strategies inside. As for my uncle, the Sikong incident has a great impact on my uncle. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover this year." Xun You said with a dull expression. , Regarding his uncle who is younger than himself, Xun You was somewhat teasing this time. After so many years, he has really fallen into trouble this time.

"After I finish handling all the matters in Kandahar, I will go and pay my respects." Cao Ang didn't feel dissatisfied either. He was different from Cao Cao. He was still very generous in this aspect, and there were too many things going on in Kandahar at present, and this was nothing more than a small matter. " The top priority is to negotiate with Ardashir to contain this heavy rain, and we will talk about other things later.”

"If you want to discuss such a big matter with Ardashir, even if Ardashir himself hopes that the rain will stop, you can't let a young man come to discuss it. So, I have no ability, and I do have some respect for Ardashir. If you're interested, why don't I go there?" Liu Xian said expressionlessly. He had a good sense of Cao Ang, and after experiencing so much, he didn't leave, which shows how aware this man is, so after Cao Ang took over, Liu Xian So I came over and prepared to take a gamble.

"I will follow you, sir." Cao Zhen stood up and replied.

"That's fine, but do you two know the danger of this trip?" Cao Ang said sincerely, looking at Cao Zhen, who came back yesterday and learned about the Kandahar coup, and immediately turned to him.

As for Cao Cao's brothers, including Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers, although Cao Ang informed today's meeting after he took office yesterday, and these people all came on time, they have not said a word yet.

"It's okay." Liu Xian shook his head and said, "It's just a mission. Even if the talks break down, we won't attack. You can rest assured. And under the current situation, it's hard for Aldashir to refuse."

"We only talk about changing the weather, not about armistice." Cao Ang glanced at Cao Ren and others, then landed on Cao Zhen, and said with a cautious expression.

"The next thing to do is to stabilize people's hearts." Cao Ang saw Liu Xian and Cao Zhen nodding slowly and felt relieved. Then he looked at everyone present and said solemnly.

Cao Ren raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing. Cao Cao handed Mianqi to Cao Ang. He had nothing to say, not to mention that Chang'an also passed the inheritance of power.

Although Cao Sikong has become Cao Pingxi, the Cao family still has the power to control Kandahar and conquer and build a feudal country. It is just that under the current precarious situation, how much power can this kind of power drive the generals and soldiers under his command to exert their strength? , I have to put a question mark.

There is a problem with the roots of the Cao family. It can be seen from the resistance of the generals and soldiers during the forced march in the rain, as well as Cao Hong leading the personal guards to organize the front line, etc. There is a sense that it is difficult to return.

Therefore, it is very important to stabilize the people's hearts. Only when the people's hearts are stabilized can the Cao family's combat effectiveness be brought into play. If the turmoil continues, it is still a question whether the Cao family's 100% strength can be used to exert 50% during the attack.

There is no need to worry about defense. After all, the middle and lower-level generals are not fools. If they do not fight tooth and nail when defending, once they are defeated, the skirmishers will die in the face of the army. Therefore, if they stick to their original position, the soldiers of Cao Cao can be completely trusted. of.

This kind of defeat is either due to the gap in hard power or the gap in tactical command. The soldiers themselves have to do as much as they can. When they should risk their lives, they must risk their lives, because when they stick to it, if they don't risk their lives, they will be scattered. If it's broken, there's no need to risk your life.

Maybe there is no point in holding on. Only by winning can you expand. Only by holding on can you defend. In this era of expansion, it has no meaning at all.

The problem is that the middle and lower-level generals of the Cao family have doubts about the Cao family themselves. Attacking may not be beneficial to these people, and they may die. That's nonsense!

I went to have my computer repaired on Monday. I'm using my home computer now. It's not working very well and I have a headache. I'll look back and get it fixed.
