Three Kingdoms

This is a character.

Fei Qian basically confirmed this when he first saw Liu Shao's article.

Liu Shao not only wrote about the importance of the state in selecting materials in his article, he even proposed some standards and methods for character appraisal. This is almost the prototype of the so-called nine-grade Zhongzheng system.

This is something completely different from the recommendation system. There are even some prototypes of later society. Although many of them are not perfect, they are already valuable.

Just like the character appraisal, it is actually a supplement to the recommendation system. However, unfortunately, the chaos of the Three Kingdoms has led to the failure of the character appraisal to continue, and the appraisal in the hands of individuals may not be fair. If it continues, maybe the exam, In other words, the imperial examination may sprout...

When it comes to character appreciation, it seems that most people in the Three Kingdoms like this tune, but in fact, there are only a few who can truly appreciate characters, and the evaluation is still very rough.

A very typical one is the monthly comment.

What’s interesting is that the person who wrote the Yuedan Commentary is called Xu Shao, and the person who wrote this essay on talent at Shoushan Academy is called Liu Shao. And the word Shao itself means strong persuasion and encouragement, so it was accidental. A coincidence, or a kind of will?

When later generations read about the Three Kingdoms, many people only remember Liu Caosun, and at most they remember some of the top twenty military generals and the top twenty counselors. As for many subsequent figures, they often ignore them, and then they are keen to argue about Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong, etc. Who is better, Lu Bu or Zhao Yun, who is better at pretending, between Brother Zhu and the cross-dressing man, who is more romantic and who is more historical, and finally it turns into two people yelling at each other about what shit you know...

But most people have not discovered that in fact, in their minds, these Three Kingdoms figures have been divided into three, six or nine levels.

Although people may not like to be classified into grades, do people have grades?

Although many people in later generations have shouted loudly for equality and freedom, can equality and freedom really be achieved? I'm afraid the toons are free, but I can never be free and equal, right?

Even in primitive society, natural differences in physical strength and intelligence would lead to hierarchical differences among tribes, let alone later generations where the division of labor is as fine as a hair.

Therefore, the system of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System itself is not an unforgivable problem. The real problem is that it cannot be upgraded. No one likes to be stuck in one level for a lifetime. When there is no hope of upgrading, most people in later generations will choose to change jobs. However, people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties found that there was no place to change jobs, so they chose to anesthetize themselves.

"That's great..." Fei Qian made the final decision.

Sima Hui and Linghu Shao had no objections and nodded in agreement.

This person must stay. At least Chen Qun has no control over where he goes. Since Liu Shao is here, it is naturally impossible for him to slip away.

Fei Qian picked up his ink pen, circled the article, put it aside, stood up, and said, "I remembered that there are still some unresolved political affairs, so I won't accompany you two here..."

Linghu Shao also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Of course it is political affairs. The articles here will be sent to the princes for reading after Shao has selected them."

Sima Hui also smiled and said: "Okay, general, please do as you please."

Fei Qian nodded, gave a half salute to Linghu Shao and Sima Hui, and then left the academy.

Outside the academy, the peach grove is pure and clear, with petals flying like rain.

Fei Qian stopped and watched the petals fluttering in the rain, falling in the woods, falling on the grass, falling between the sky and the earth, seeming to dissipate the chaotic smoke in his heart.

A red sun on the horizon is gradually setting towards the west...

"Lang Jun..." Huang Xu, who was following behind, whispered, "Do you want to go to the Cai Family Courtyard?"

Fei Qian's eyes moved, he hesitated, and finally shook his head and walked down the mountain without saying anything. The news of Huang Yueying's pregnancy spread throughout Bingbei. It was impossible for Cai Yan not to know that at such a point...

Under the academy, Kan Ze was already waiting at Qumen. Kan Ze saw Fei Qian coming over and quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted: "I have met my lord."

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. How is the farming? What's the problem?"

After Zao Zhi left for Guanzhong, Kan Ze began to take over the surrounding farming and mulberry affairs. Although Kan Ze was a little confused with many affairs just after he took over, Kan Ze was still happy with it. After all, this was a rare opportunity. , Kan Ze feels that his current life is the happiest, and there is no sense of hardship at all.

Kan Ze originally came from a poor family. Ever since he became sensible, he has looked forward to two things most. One is to have enough food, and the other is to read enough books. However, these two things are actually combined into one. How about this? Don't you want Kan Ze to be happy about it?

Kan Ze has a square face and a large frame. He has had good food in Bingbei in the past two years and seems to have a lot of meat. He has a tendency to evolve into a military general like Xu Shu.

"My lord is so heroic. In just a few years, he conquered three states and half of Longyou. It is truly an unparalleled achievement..." Kan Ze followed Fei Qian and walked slowly towards Pingyang. Suddenly, he appeared Such a sentence.

What do you mean?

Fei Qian looked back at Kan Ze and said, "What did Derun mean by that?" Anyway, Fei Qian didn't believe that Kan Ze was waiting for him in Qumen just to come over and flatter him.

"My lord, as the saying goes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. My lord now connects the north and south, encompassing Shanxi, reaching Yinshan in the north, and Hanzhong in the south. It has the appearance of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Now the two Yuan have no time to care about him, and it is the opportunity of the lord. . Given time, when the two Yuan forces have settled down, Lian Heng will inevitably happen, so the Lord should be prepared." Kan Ze cupped his hands and said in a leisurely manner.

Fei Qian looked at the green mountains in the distance, which were as green as the dark color on his lover's brow, and he was a little surprised. Despite his young age, Kan Ze appears to be very mature in his thinking. In fact, people in the Han Dynasty were very precocious, and this precocity is not physical, but manifested in the mind, which is different from those in later generations who ate genetically modified or Premature puberty caused by excess hormones is a completely different matter.

Fei Qian said: "What does Derun think we should do now? Attack Heluo?"

Kan Ze smiled slightly, and there was a hint of cunning in his loyal face, which made him look a little weird: "My lord, is this a test?"

Fei Qian laughed. Fei Qian had such a look before. He was no different from Huang Cheng. He was loyal on the outside but cunning on the inside. In this way, Kan Ze is actually a person who is unwilling to be ordinary and is good at using the resources around him. However, one interesting thing is that Kan Ze took over Zao Zhi again and completed the government affairs at hand before looking for Fei Qian. This It shows that Kan Ze sticks to his duty and knows where the boundaries are...

Such people are very interesting.

Kan Ze looked at Fei Qian and smiled, without any intention of getting angry, but continued: "Now my lord, there are two redeeming features, and He Luo is not one of them."

"Well, tell me..." Fei Qian nodded and expressed his willingness to listen in detail.

Kanze raised his hands and said: "The first one is Longyou, the second one is Shuzhong. Heluo, unless the lord is ready to fight against the two Yuans, it is not worth it."

Fei Qian said without comment: "How to get Longyou? What about Shuzhong?"

Kan Ze glanced at Fei Qian, which seemed to indicate that Fei Qian was still testing at this time, but he still said unhurriedly: "It's only a matter of time before Longyou... The lord doesn't really want to fight the Qiang people, right? Han Although the two horses are the leaders of the Qiang people, most of the Qiang people are related to the powerful families of Liangzhou... Now that the lord has gathered the Qiang tribe and is very friendly, how much can Liangzhou Longyou do? Even if he does, I'm afraid it's not possible. There is no need for the Lord to take action..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly in approval.

What Kan Ze said was generally correct, but he didn't know much about Liangzhou, and was limited to his personal perspective. He was unable to grasp the situation in Longyou as a whole. He only saw the influence of the noble gentry in Longyou and ignored it. Other factors, so although the inference is fairly acceptable, there are still some differences depending on the specific circumstances.

In the Han Dynasty, there were no equipment such as telegraphs and telephones, so the transmission of messages was extremely slow. No matter what the nobles and nobles in Longyou chose, they could not reach a unified opinion in a short time. So in the process of reaching a unified opinion, , there are definitely still changes, and Fei Qian's side also needs to show a moderate display of force...

But it’s not a big problem. After all, no one is perfect and we can’t be too demanding.

"Let's talk about Shuzhong..." Fei Qian had probably guessed what Kan Ze was thinking.

Young people, aren't they all like this? When they first enter the workplace, most people still want to show off their skills in this workplace, at least to become a cornerstone of their own growth, right?

After all, there are still only a few people who have defined themselves as salty fish from the beginning.

Kan Ze cupped his hands and said with a serious face: "Although the mountain road in central Sichuan is difficult, people in Sichuan are currently floating and have different thoughts. My lord may as well send people into Sichuan to contact the big families in Sichuan, and there will be gains."

"Well, in Derun's opinion, who should I contact?" Fei Qian said lightly, feeling a little disappointed, but also a little hopeful.

I'm disappointed because Kan Ze's plan isn't very surprising. It's just a copy of Long You, or it can be applied in most cases. To put it simply, it is looking for a traitor, or called an insider.

As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Since ancient times, there have been many heroes, but they have left their tricks in the world. A branch of red apricot comes out of the wall, and Lao Wang next door is beside him...

Ahem, I'm off the stage.

It has always been easiest to break into a fortress from the inside, so seeking an internal supporter within the enemy's side has naturally become the least labor-intensive and most effective way to attack. However, this strategy is very simple, and naturally no matter who it is, it will be useful. Be on guard, and you might be taken advantage of by others, and you lose everything.

Therefore, the most critical part of such a strategy has always been the selection of internal agents.

Only with a good target can this strategy be considered successful, otherwise it will be just superficial general talk, so Fei Qian still has some hope to see if Kan Ze can name one or two people that Fei Qian can identify with. come out……

Kan Ze had obviously been thinking for a long time. When Fei Qian asked, he did not hesitate. He just lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "My lord, have you heard about the Nanchong Zhang family?"

"Nanchong Zhang family?" Fei Qian couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Kan Ze was talking about the famous Erwuzi from Sichuan and Sichuan?

The surname Zhang is said to have been around since the Huangdi period, and was introduced to Shu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The specific details cannot be determined because of its long history, but the Zhang family has multiplied and expanded in the Sichuan and Shu areas. Although now they are not as famous as the Yuan family and the Yang family, they still have considerable strength among Sichuan and Shu.

"My lord, there are two people from the Nanchong Zhang family. One is working for a different team. His name is Su and his courtesy name is Junjiao." Kan Ze continued, "My lord is named Song and his courtesy name is Ziqiao..."

Zi Qiao, after hearing this name, Fei Qian suddenly felt a little dazed. In those days, when people were not drunk, everyone would get drunk, and they were willing to be the ghosts under the skirts of beautiful women. Today, if you have wine and you will be drunk, don't let the golden bottle stand in front of the moon. Life is extremely beautiful. Aspiring young people who let us gallop forward and let our ideals fly seem to be tumbling in our memories again...

Kan Ze glanced at Fei Qian strangely, but he couldn't guess what Fei Qian was thinking, and he didn't get the response he deserved. He hesitated for a moment, but continued: "...the two Zhangs, named Compatriots, they are actually born from half-mothers. Zhang Junjiao is the daughter of the main wife. His mother is from an old household in Guanzhong. She is elegant in appearance, tall in stature and majestic. Zhang Ziqiao is born to a daughter from Shuzhong and is described as short. They are famous for their talents... The two Zhang brothers are very different, and their minds must be different. If the lord sends someone to Sichuan, he might as well start with this..."

Interesting, well, interesting indeed.

Comparing it with Fei Qian's remaining memories, Kan Ze actually revealed most of the problems of the Zhang brothers. Of course, the most important one was that Zhang Song was not favored by Cao Cao at that time...

But then again, Cao Cao himself was a short boy, so why didn't he like Zhang Song when he saw him? Could it be that he saw his own figure in Zhang Song's body and couldn't bear it? After all, Cao Cao likes a big man from Guanxi, like Guan Yunchang. This is a well-known thing. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Guan Yunchang to be rebellious and abandon him, and still care about him.

Otherwise, according to Cao Cao's usual forbearance style, even Cao Cao could endure Xu You's bad-mouthed woman until he had sorted out most of the Yuan family's inheritance before dealing with it. Why couldn't he tolerate a mere Zhang Song?

However, Fei Qian may never find the answers to these things. After all, human emotions are a very complex system. Maybe a screw of a different model may not fit the hole.

Fei Qian couldn't help but turn his head and look at Kan Ze. He was inevitably curious about how Kan Ze deduced that the two Zhang brothers were at odds. After all, Kan Ze has been in Beipingyang for a while, and it is impossible for him to have any contact with people in Sichuan. How did he get such information and make such an inference?

Kan Ze seemed to be aware of Fei Qian's doubts, so he cupped his hand and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to infer... Although the family names are the same, there are many internal disputes, such as the governor of Yizhou... and the Zhang family Both of them are extremely intelligent and well-known. The elder brother takes advantage of the situation and has many connections with the big families in Sichuan. He seems to be well-mannered. The younger brother takes the truth and makes friends with knights and is bohemian... just like the two Yuans, and it coincides with the recent death of his father, so he is Ze. It is concluded that there is bound to be contention in the family, and we can take advantage of the situation... Zezhi knows that the lord has already made a decision, but it is just an occasional insight and boldness. I hope that the lord will not be surprised..."

"Haha, Derun is worrying too much. This strategy is very good, very good..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "But how did Derun know about the things in Sichuan? Could it be that Derun knew the people in Sichuan?"

Kan Ze raised his hands and said: "Ze is in Pingyang, how can he recognize the people in Sichuan... It's just that today, with the permission of the lord, I have accepted the post of Zao, so that I can read the Hanzhong Di newspaper at Xundong Cao's office in the city hall..."

Okay!

Fei Qian was a little surprised.

Now that Hanzhong is under control, there are messengers coming and going to deliver Di Bao, which of course is just some basic information. As for more confidential matters, they will not go through Di Bao, but will be sent directly to Fei Qian, but Kan Ze From such a basic newspaper, you can collect and sort out the information you need, analyze and deduce it...

So, Kan Ze is also a character...
