Three Kingdoms

Chang'an, the mansion of the Han Hussar General.

Changing someone's mind is sometimes more difficult than killing someone.

After all, to kill a person, you only need a white knife to go in, whether it is a red knife or a green knife to come out, but if you want to let a kind of thinking enter a person's head, enter the field of consciousness, update or replace it , then it is not a simple thing that can be done easily by just saying a few sentences.

Sima Yi's work naturally caused a great shock...

Fei Qian did not make any conclusions on the spot, but asked everyone to leave again with questions, think about it, and then wait for the next seminar.

With many questions, everyone retreated, while Fei Qian kept Sima Yi and Pang Tong.

"The theory of the persistence of the five virtues has been popular for four to five hundred years," Fei Qian said as he walked forward slowly, "No one doubts it so far, so how can Zhongda question it?" 』

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said: "The Five Virtues have always been the same. In the new dynasty, it was already difficult to say. Although there are leap theories later, they are extremely reluctant and cannot be believed." Another time, my lord mentioned something about the Spring and Autumn Period, and I thought about it day and night. Under the confusion and confusion, I was able to watch the stars in the sky, and I realized that the glitz and glamor obscured my vision. The only way to be true is to pursue the original. 』

Fei Qian nodded slightly, then walked to the middle of the pavilion and motioned for Sima Yi and Pang Tong to sit down.

The servant brought tea, Fei Qian picked up a cup of tea, took two sips, and said slowly: "First there are five virtues, then heaven and man can sense them. Now Zhongda has broken the foundation of the five virtues..."

Pang Tong squeaked while holding the tea bowl. He didn't know whether it was because he was burned or for some other reason.

Fei Qian glanced over, then ignored Pang Tong, turned to Sima Yi and said, "Does Zhongda know how important this matter is?" 』

Since it was proposed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the later Song, Liao and Jin dynasties, the theory of the Five Virtues has been the basic theoretical framework for successive dynasties to explain the legitimacy of their regimes.

After the Song Dynasty, some people gradually began to have some doubts about the "Theory of the End and Beginning of the Five Virtues". Eventually, these doubts expanded and impacted the "Theory of the End and Beginning of the Five Virtues". Then more and more questions emerged that could not be explained. In the end, it became a mark in history, rather than a so-called truth or law.

Although the Five Virtues Theory did not become a popular theory after the Song Dynasty, it was still persistent, profound, and imprinted in the hearts of Chinese intellectuals, even in social theology, for example. Five stages, it seems that after reaching a certain stage, the later stage will definitely restrain the previous stage, and the previous stage will inevitably decline without any reason...

This is very fatal.

Society is made up of people, and the social structure system is also determined by people, not by the so-called five elements or five virtues. At the same time, the Five Virtues often become an excuse for careerists, shaking the country or causing a farce.

Sima Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I know it." "He had considered this matter before he wrote it. Questioning a popular issue that had become a common knowledge would definitely entail great pressure.

"In that case, does Zhongda have a plan?" Fei Qian asked, then paused and added, "The prosperity of the five virtues is not just words, but benefits." 』

The reason why the Five Virtues were established and even promoted to the present is because they have a foundation on which to live. And when Zou Yan promoted the theory of the Five Virtues, it was not that no one refuted it. At least Mencius and Xunzi said they had opinions, but in the end they were not adopted by the King of Qin.

Because what King Qin needed at that time was something that could prove the rationality of his behavior, not whether it was reasonable in theory. Comparatively speaking, Mencius' theory of kings and Xunzi's theory of hegemony are not as easy to use as the five virtues. It's simple, obedient, easy to use, and easy to clean. It can be used manually or automatically, and it can be used over and over again. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they complement each other, it doesn't matter.

"It is said that the world lasts forever, but luck does not last forever. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many people in the Warring States period. How could they inherit the fortune of hundreds of years and inherit it? Sima Yi said, "If the five virtues are constant and the laws of heaven cannot be violated, then the king of Zhou will perish and China will be in chaos. What will be the fate?" If the five virtues can be contested, what does it have to do with the way of heaven? Therefore, the current replacement should be ruled by kings and ruled by hegemons..."

Fei Qian nodded slowly.

In fact, the core issue of Sima Yi's proposal to deny the Five Virtues was to separate the replacement of dynasties from the so-called "inheritance by heaven" and then turn it into a pure political behavior, no longer covered with the color of myth.

There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to this.

The advantage is that politics will be more rational, and some issues that were originally avoided intentionally or unintentionally will be put on the table again for study and discussion. This will have a certain promotion effect on China's future, and The disadvantage is that something originally recognized has been broken. This change in thinking may capsize many ships under the surge of thoughts. Those who can withstand the wind and waves will survive, and those who cannot. , will be submerged...

"The theory of the Five Virtues is what the magicians say. How can it be used in national affairs?" ” Sima Yi continued, “To judge the irreversibility of human affairs according to the way of heaven is a helpless act for a moment, how can it be possible for all generations? The prosperity of the five virtues makes prophecies run rampant, and their movements are called destiny. They describe their virtues, push the talisman patterns, and show auspiciousness. If they use their names and use the words of the five virtues, they will win. How many types of voodoo are you tired of winning? 』

"Hahaha..." Fei Qian burst into laughter, then pointed at Sima Yi and said, "It should be noted that when I was in Hebei, there was also auspiciousness in Pingyang... Isn't Zhongda afraid that I will get angry and punish you? 』

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "You can do it for a while, but you can't do it for a lifetime." A helpless act can be forgiven, and it can be done intentionally, but it can be a mistake...I think that it may be auspicious to invite the name, but it cannot be prophesied to establish the country..."

"You cannot prophesy Wei to establish a country..." Fei Qian repeated softly, then nodded slightly, turned to look at Pang Yi, "Shi Yuan, what do you think?" 』

Pang Tong put down his tea bowl and said, "Maybe it can be done... First there was Yuan Jiujiu, who acted arrogantly in the name of prophecy, which made the world angry. Then there were thieves in the mountains and fields, bullying the people's simplicity, talking too much to confuse them, and inciting chaos... ...In this name, it is appropriate to discuss the Five Virtues..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

"However, in my opinion, if we talk about the Five Virtues, we should not mention the replacement of the dynasty. Just talking about the Five Virtues is the words of the Yin and Yang magicians..." Pang Tong glanced at Sima Yi, "Now the world is in chaos. The way of king and hegemony has not yet been determined. If we talk about it this way, there may be many disputes..."

Fei Qian pinched the not very long beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter." Nowadays, the Han Dynasty divides things, it is a fact, and it cannot be concealed by false words. The king's way is domineering, and it is the right way to unite and rule the world! 』

"Lord!" 』

Pang Tong shouted from the side, while Fei Qian waved his hand and added: "It's just a matter of unification, it can't last long. If you want it to last, you should have four words..."

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "May I ask, my lord, what are these four characters?" 』

Fei Qian smiled and said slowly: "The people are rich and the country is strong!" 』

……lt;(￣﹌￣)gt;……

The grassland is filled with all kinds of ups and downs of horn sounds.

Long, short, rapid, low, all intertwined with each other, even because everyone has the same horn sounding habits, so that sometimes there will be confusion...

When the cavalry appears on the endless grassland, from a distance, it looks like the first drop of gray-black ink falls on it and spreads, eventually dyeing this or that piece of grassland. became red.

The army of Ding Ling people appeared on the horizon of the grassland.

One advantage of internal promotion is that you will be more familiar with the business, but there is also a disadvantage of internal promotion, that is, if you are too familiar with each other, sometimes your personal emotions will inevitably be mixed in, and you will not be able to deal with business calmly.

The Ding Ling people were originally subordinates of the Xiongnu, and then later fell under the skirts of the Xianbei people.

Now, Ding Ling people feel that they have seen too much upskirts and it is time for others to take a look at what is under their skirts.

Cao Chun and Kirby Neng looked solemnly, looking at the Ding Ling people in the distance, one on the left and the other on the right. Obviously, neither Cao Chun nor Kirby is willing to confront Ding Ling, but sometimes it is not because they are unwilling, things will not happen, or things will happen according to their own wishes.

Men all like to let others endure it, so as not to compare themselves with themselves. Therefore, when someone sees the real guy, he can't help but be extremely angry.

"Damn Ding Ling people..."

Kirby was very familiar with the sound of Ding Lingren's horn. After all, Ding Lingren was a good dog before and would accurately bite his opponent under the orders of the Xianbei people. But now this dog bites its owner in turn. Let Kirby be very angry.

In the grassland desert, there are many tribes. Sometimes there are so many that even Xianbei Kebineng or the powerful Huns King did not know clearly. But whether it is a large tribe or a small tribe, all the people in the desert are among them. They all know one thing in their hearts, that is, there can only be one alpha wolf in the desert, and there can only be one king!

The king of the desert will rule everything!

Under the throne, surrender or die!

Therefore, from this perspective, the Dingling people are not a betrayal, but a challenge to the throne of the desert. Therefore, when these Dingling people saw that Kirby could join forces with the Han people, they made a huge mockery and Cold boos, the Ding Ling people thought that Kirby had lost his dignity as a king and actually attracted outsiders to join forces...

The Ding Ling people roared and surged in like a tide.

Kirby could sit on horseback and shout the command: "Blow the horn!" Get ready to fight! 』

Cao Chun looked at the Kirby troops heading in the same direction three miles away and sighed slightly.

"General!" "The guard beside Cao Chun shouted, "The Xianbei people are waving their flags, indicating that we can join forces to attack together!" 』

"..." Cao Chun pondered.

"General!" "The guard shouted, "All the ministries are waiting for the general's order! General! 』

At that moment, Cao Chun wanted to sit back and watch, but soon he realized that if he really did this, all the previous efforts and preparations would be worthless, and the Xianbei people would no longer trust them, even if they were This trust is so weak and unreliable.

But is it too wasteful to spend it on Ding Lingren?

After all, there is a bigger and more terrifying opponent. In front of this opponent, joining a group to keep warm is the only, or more correct, way at the moment...

Xianbei is not a very good ally, but he is still an ally after all.

Cao Chun slowly drew out his sword and raised it high, "Send the order!" Drum roll! Get ready to attack! 』

The rumble of war drums sounded, and Kirby Neng turned his head to look, and then waved his battle ax in the air, making a whining sound, and then a huge sound spewed out from Kirby Neng's chest. It was like a giant bear roaring: "Hold the plow up!" God bless you! We are the kings of the desert! 』

Many Xianbei people around Kirby Neng raised their weapons and shouted together: "Hold the plow up!" God bless you! The king is invincible! 』

"God bless you!" The king is invincible! "More Xianbei people raised their weapons, roared with all their strength, and charged at the Ding Ling people.

Cao Chun stretched out his sword and said, "Kill!" 』

Cao Jun's cavalry also began to roll forward. The clanging armor was like a strong hammer. Under the leadership of Cao Chun, it hit the flank of Ding Ling.

Kirby was also worried that Cao Chun would take advantage of the situation and deal with him together with the Ding Ling people, but Kirby felt that he could take a gamble. After all, when the alliance was formed, Cao Chun's expression when he heard the news about the Ding Ling people, It doesn't look like he's pretending. Of course, if Cao Chunzhen and Ding Lingren join forces, Kirby is not afraid, because he also has backup preparations...

In comparison, even if Cao Chun in turn tore up the alliance, Kirby Neng would not feel much anger, but Kirby Neng could not tolerate the arrogance of the Ding Ling people.

At the same time, under the tricolor flag that day, the pain Zhao Yun caused him was something he could never forget for the rest of his life. He originally thought that he would bear this shame for the rest of his life and would never have the chance to walk into the desert. Above, I finally gave him a chance!

A chance for revenge!

Therefore, Kirby wanted to attack. He could not bear the contempt of the tribes who originally lay at his feet in the desert. He even did not hesitate to join forces with Cao Chun, just to face together in the future a monster that did not know when it would appear, but in the end An enemy that must be faced!

Kirby can use his battle ax and blood to tell those shameless people that heroes are still heroes and King Xianbei is still the king. He will chop down under the hooves of horses all those who dare to offend him!

The distance between the two sides is five hundred steps.

The speed of the cavalry has basically been increased to the maximum, and the horses' hooves trampled the young grass on the grassland into the soil again.

The two sides were three hundred steps apart.

"Full speed ahead! Attack..." Ding Ling shouted, "Prepare bows and arrows! 』

Almost at the same time, the Xianbei people were also preparing their bows and arrows.

One hundred steps.

Almost at the same time, arrows soared into the air from both sides, then crossed each other in the air and headed towards their respective targets.

Fifty steps!

Both sides can see each other's faces, either angry, hateful, frightened, ferocious, or calm, with a kind of sadness and calmness before death.

The two sides came into contact with each other in an instant.

The soldiers who collided directly fell on their backs, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Although the war horse itself has navigation and avoidance functions, just like many people in later generations have these functions in their vehicles, those who deserve to be hit will still hit, and those who deserve to be hit will still hit, and those who deserve to be hit will still die.

Kirby is like a bloodthirsty giant bear, waving a tomahawk and making a huge roar from his mouth, which often scares ordinary opponents, and then comes the roaring tomahawk and blood and flesh flying everywhere. Under the attack, countless Dingling people died under the battle axe, and became the souls of the dead on the grassland.

On the other side, Cao Chun led Cao Jun's cavalry and rushed into the Ding Ling cavalry array.

Strictly speaking, the Ding Ling people do not have a so-called array, or a loose front. This method also has advantages, that is, it can conduct operations flexibly, whether it is encirclement, counter-encirclement, or crisscrossing, but The same thing also has disadvantages, that is, the ability to resist attacks is insufficient, and it is easy to collapse part of it, and then bring down the whole...

Especially in the chaos of the battlefield, if there is not a strong cavalry commander who can make timely adjustments, then if such a loose formation cannot gain an advantage immediately, some people will lose their physical strength, and then some people will lose their strength. Failure to join the battle in time will cause the entire front to become disjointed and loose, eventually leading to collapse.

After Cao Chun joined, the shortcomings of the Ding Ling people's front were gradually exposed, and casualties began to increase. Horns calling for help or urging each other kept sounding, which in turn triggered more Ding Ling people to do nothing. From now on, I don’t know if I should respond to the horn on the left or lend a helping hand to the one on the right.

Kirby's huge body is simply the biggest target on such a complicated battlefield. Needless to say, it will attract the attention of the opponent. Therefore, he also receives special care from the Dinling people, but Kirby is also crazy. , under the attack of the Ding Ling people, he actually waved his battle ax and shouted. This kind of brave behavior was almost reckless, but it was admired by the Xianbei people, especially when they found that Kirby Neng had two arrows in his back. , still shouting for a fierce battle without being affected at all, the morale of the Xianbei people could not help but soar, and they followed Kirby like crazy and continued to attack.

The Ding Ling people couldn't bear it anymore and retreated first, leaving behind their dead and wounded horses and soldiers, and fled in confusion...

Kirby put down his battle ax and gasped for air. He knew in his heart that if he didn't wear the armor given by Cao Chun this time, he would definitely be injured.

"The Han people have so many good things..." Kirby was able to pull out the arrow stuck in the armor with his backhand.

"Your Majesty..." The guards around Kirby Neng shook off the blood on their swords while squinting in the direction of Cao Jun, "Your Majesty, those guys, huh, didn't use much force..."

Kirby nodded, "I can see...these guys...but now is not the time, wait, wait...count the time, it's almost there..."

The Xianbei people raised their weapons high and cheered loudly.

Cao Jun was silently arranging the queue. Neither of them noticed that something seemed to shake on a mound far away from the battlefield, and then returned to normal...
