Three Kingdoms

friendship.

Whenever I say this word, I always feel that I should add something like lifetime, eternity, eternity, etc. But in fact, this thing is just like love, with a very pitiful shelf life.

The friendship between Huang Gai and Zhu Huan originated from the Wuling barbarians. Now that they have left the Wuling area, the friendship has naturally begun to fade. It is not that the friendship between Huang Gai and Zhu Huan is false, but at this moment. , not that time and that moment.

In the Wuling area, two people can be friends for many years, cooperate seamlessly on the battlefield, trust each other, beat the shit out of Wuling barbarians, and flee into the mountains one after another, but this does not mean that two people can really let go of their respective identities from now on. Then support the other party unconditionally. Even if Huang Gai and Zhu Huan were willing, those who followed them and those behind them were not willing.

After all, the gift money... bah, the benefits are eternal.

At the Jiangdong military level, Huang Gai represents the older generation of the Jiangdong Group, while Zhu Huan is undoubtedly the new generation.

The middle generation is now the young generation and is in power.

There are a lot of troubles in Jiangdong now, no less than those in the Western Regions. Although they have won a battle and occupied Yidao, it does not mean that the two people can love each other and complement each other. On the contrary, huge differences have arisen due to the subsequent direction issues.

Nowadays, it can be said that the old, weak, sick and disabled are all in Jiangdong. How can the word "miserable" be written in capital letters?

Normally, the young sect is a link between the past and the next. If it is passed down smoothly, it will not be bad. However, Zhou Yu's current state can be heard even by a blind man. Therefore, the older generation feels that they are strong and honest, and can continue to shine in their posts. Finally, I found an opportunity to postpone my retirement. After all, nothing is as important as enjoying your old age as power.

The new generation feels that according to the rules of sitting in rows to eat fruits, it is their turn. Now this old guy who is paralyzed has occupied his position for his whole life. When he gets old, he still has to sit on his position with his butt. He will continue to occupy his position without moving even if he is alive...

So, can two people openly discuss the matter of competing for military power in Jiangdong?

They can only fight secretly.

It's actually not easy for Jiangdong right now.

The economy is down and the pressure is great.

Originally, Jiangdong was located on the periphery of the economically developed circle of the Han Dynasty. In the eyes of Shandong people, Jiangdong was a region not far from a barbarian land. In addition, there were no special products. At most, they only sold some salted fish. Not worth much. The items sold from Jiangbei to Jiangdong are basically high-priced luxury goods, war horses, armors, equipment, etc., which causes Jiangdong's finances to leak a lot of money every year.

Jiangdong also wanted to change this economically disadvantageous situation, but he did not find any effective high-value items. Jiangdong's shipbuilding is indeed great, but for the Central Plains people of the Han Dynasty, there is no need for any warships at all, or strictly speaking, the demand is very small, and buying some that will last for ten years is not an economic benefit at all. compensate.

As for other aspects, they are all raw materials, wood, lacquer, salted fish...

It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan was the most eager to open up additional trade routes among the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms in history.

I have no money, so poor that my farts smell like salted fish.

Even under such circumstances, the struggle for power is still the struggle for power. Anyway, it is only the people of Jiangdong who are poor, and the gentry of Jiangdong are still very free and at ease.

In order to ensure that you can continue to be free, you must ensure that your authority cannot be left aside. The greater the economic pressure, the less room for improvement, and the family has become accustomed to spending money on food, drink, etc., so there is no reason to reduce it, so it is natural for involution to occur. The older generation wants to hold on to power for as long as possible. As time passes, the new generation desires to become Jiangdong's successor faster, and the conflicts between them become more acute as the cake becomes smaller and smaller.

On the Yi Road, the dispute between the waterway and the land route seemed to be a strategic dispute, but in fact it became a manifestation of political contradictions in Jiangdong.

Taking the navy route, of course, Huang Gai is the main one, which means that the older generation of generals will take over Zhou Yu's banner and regain their position, which will last at least another five years. Taking the land route means breaking a new path. On the one hand, it avoids the control of the older generation in Jiangdong on the navy, and at the same time, it also represents the difference between the new generation and the older generation.

Huang Gai and Zhu Huan couldn't argue with each other, and it's not that all the disputes were about themselves. So after confirming that it was impossible for both parties to reach an agreement, they sent memorials to the rear. On the one hand, they expressed their opinions. In order to occupy the Yi Road and achieve the first stage of victory, on the other hand, it also allowed the rear to act as a judge to determine which path to take, or how to cut the cake?

Jiangdong's army then temporarily stationed itself at Yidao. Anyway, Jiangdong's original plan was to build an advance base at Yidao, so Huang Gai and Zhu Huan did not completely give up the affairs at hand because of the dispute over the direction. Start building Yi Dao's camp and prepare for the next stage...

love.

This thing basically doesn't exist on Liu Xie's side.

Not only love, but also love is dust on the lips, which can be spit out or reapplied at any time.

He and Cao Cao lived together. At first, they might have been interested in each other, or they were in love, or some other emotional factors. But as time went by, they just looked at each other and disliked each other. But on the outside, they seemed to be different. We can only maintain a state of relative respect, between the beloved and your majesty, the emperor and his important ministers.

When Cao Cao was in Xu County, Liu Xie would subconsciously restrain his behavior and even stopped making decisions on small matters. He just asked the people of the Shaofu to transfer to him a copy of the government affairs handled by the Shangshutai every day. After all, not everything is worthy of Liu Xie's seal, and some trivial military and government affairs do not need to be handled by Liu Xie.

Of course, big things don’t need it either…

Liu Xie's idea was actually to learn from others secretly. After all, he doesn't have much experience in governing, and he didn't lay such a foundation when he was a child. So now he has to infer what the corresponding matters are based on the relevant writings of Shangshutai on handling political affairs, and at the same time try to figure out why Cao Cao or Xun or handled it this way, and learn from it. growing up.

Many young emperors of the Han Dynasty also grew up in this process.

Liu Xie felt that there was no reason why he couldn't do it.

He can.

For example, now, Liu Xie feels that he seems to be a little more capable...

Cao Cao's military operations, or important military matters, will definitely not go through the Shangshutai, so Liu Xie can't see them even if he wants to, but there will be some affairs in the Shangshutai that will be related. Liu Xie tried to deduce some of Cao Cao's current military arrangements from these people's livelihood and political affairs, and used this to spy on Cao Cao's behavior.

It's like a husband and wife secretly looking through each other's mobile phone WeChat records...

Cao Cao has been busy meeting some people these days.

Of course, it is impossible for these people and Cao Cao to just chat and set up a dragon gate formation in their free time, trying to talk cheerfully, but then failing to implement it. Therefore, after Cao Cao meets these people, there will inevitably be some follow-up matters.

For example, Cao Cao met with the village elders in Qingzhou a few days ago, and then began to allocate manpower and material resources to build and repair Qingzhou's water conservancy projects.

The writing on the Shangshutai only reflected the deployment of Qingzhou's manpower and material resources, etc., and then contacted Cao Cao to meet people in Qingzhou. Only then could Liu Xie slightly infer some of Cao Cao's purposes, such as the possibility of establishing a third block in Qingzhou. agricultural production areas, and get rid of the problem of being too dependent on Jizhou and Yuzhou?

Or maybe they are still not at ease with the Qingzhou Taishan gang and are using the construction of water conservancy projects to divide the Taishan Army's manpower and popular support?

Of course, it may also be a hindrance to Liu Xie and hinder Liu Xie's plan to win people's hearts through agriculture...

It's all possible.

However, during this period of time, after looking at some of the people's livelihood and government affairs, Liu Xie had a vague feeling in his heart.

This feeling was so wonderful that Liu Xie had trouble sleeping and eating.

Liu Xie had little experience before and didn't know much about current affairs. Although he said he wanted to be pro-government and take power, he didn't know what to do after he took power. Just like many children think about growing up and what they want to be when they grow up, such as being a scientist, a big businessman, an official, etc., but really ask whether they want to be a scientist, a big businessman, or After becoming an official, what should be done first and second, what can be done now, what needs to be paid attention to, etc., etc., I was immediately dumbfounded.

Because at that time Liu Xie had no idea at all in his mind.

Now that I have a little more knowledge, my interpretation of these people's livelihood and political affairs has reached a higher level.

Now, Liu Xie is trying to move to a higher level.

It seems that I am stuck at this point at the moment, almost unable to go up, which is very uncomfortable.

According to Liu Xie's feeling, Cao Cao seemed to want to make a big move.

But this is just a feeling, a feeling without any evidence. The local language of these administrative orders issued by the Shangshutai does not seem to be much different from previous years. The matters are all taxation, farming, water conservancy, roads, etc., but Liu Xie has a feeling, It seemed as if he had foreseen that a storm was coming.

It was like a mess, and I guessed what might be involved, but I couldn't find the important thread.

With an intuition similar to instinct, Liu Xie guessed that Mr. Cao was having an affair... Well, he was having an affair. He seemed to be thinking about General Fei and went away, but Liu Xie found no relevant evidence and did not see it. What actions did Cao Cao take in certain aspects...

Could it be that all of Lao Cao's related actions were hidden in the military aspect and he had never been to this side of the Chancery?

So this seems to show that Lao Cao has feelings for Xun or...

Liu Xie pondered and thought.

Like a groundhog hiding in a cave, looking forward to the day when it can burst out of the cave and roar.

……\\( @o @)/~……

Family affection.

When it comes to family ties, the closest relationship is naturally between parents, brothers and sisters.

But Cao Pi was really disgusted with one kind of family affection at the moment.

He doesn't like that fake thing!

Don't like it at all!

"Someone is coming!" ” As soon as Cao Pi returned to his courtyard, he shouted angrily, “Take this robe and burn it!” And this crown! Take the boots with you! Burned! Everything was burned! 』

Cao Pi pointed to the robe and crown he had just changed out of when he came back, with unconcealable disgust on his face.

He went out cheerfully this morning and came home angry in the evening.

If he was given another chance to choose, he would definitely not go to any bullshit literary conference!

It's all bullshit, especially the most bullshit guy!

ah?

If it weren't for Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi wouldn't be able to show much at this type of cultural gathering. When Cao Zhi was still young, this kind of literary party was somewhat similar to the blind date party of later generations. It was attended not only by scholars but also by ladies. Even if Cao Zhi goes there, no one will take a fancy to him, unless he particularly likes the bite of fresh meat...

Cao Pi actually doesn't need to attend this kind of cultural gathering, because his marriage will definitely be sold in the end...well, it is sold for marriage. Of course, from the perspective of interests, for people like Cao Pi, there is nothing wrong with marriage being a business. It is just that you can change people in occasional transactions, but it is difficult to change people in long-term transactions.

Historically, Cao Pi's choice of Zhen Ji may have been a contest between father and son. Whether he was greedy or rebellious, at that point in time, Cao Pi's little Jiji was not entirely his own.

Cao Pi is relatively happy at the moment. He can be free for a while. Although there are people who covet his little Jiji, on the one hand, he is younger than when he married Zhen Ji in history. On the other hand, Lao Cao His power is not yet strong enough to require him to betray Xiao Jiji, so Cao Pi can still enjoy a few years of leisure time and participate in some blind dates similar to this type.

Although it is a blind date, most people know that they are not worthy of Cao Pi's position. The so-called "well-matched" does not prevent those girls from imagining that they are Cinderella Liang or something, having a spring and autumn dream, smiling affectionately at Cao Pi, etc. , which will naturally make Cao Pi who attended the meeting feel secretly happy.

But this secret feeling was lost in today’s cultural gathering!

Because today’s cultural gathering, among the participants, was not only Cao Cao’s real son Cao Pi, but also the fake son of Lao Cao’s classmate, He Yan.

Mrs. Bian has a good appearance, so Cao Pi cannot be considered that ugly. Unfortunately, Lao Cao's height is too high for his hips, so Cao Pi is also a little worried about his height. If Cao Pi is the only one, then it won't be a big problem. After all, who dares to stand with Cao Pi to compare height?

But today, someone not only crushed Cao Pi in terms of height, but also hurt Cao Pi intellectually. At the same time, he also dealt a critical blow to Cao Pi in terms of literary talent and classics...

In the previous literary meetings, all the affectionate glances towards Cao Pi fell on He Yan.

It's natural to think about it. After all, Cao Pi's little bitch is too important. If it's not of a certain weight, he may not be able to seduce it. But He Yan is relatively close to the average noble lady. She may be able to lick the toes and so on. Yes, those who are a little smarter will naturally focus on He Yan.

Moreover, compared with Cao Pi, He Yan was taller, more handsome, and full of scriptures, and his words were colorful chapters...

Cao Pi kept clenching his fists and gritting his teeth throughout the literary meeting, enduring it hard, and finally burst out when he returned home.

After Cao Pi returned home, he asked his servants to burn his outer robes. There was quite a stir, so Mrs. Bian soon knew about it. She came out of the inner courtyard with a frown and asked Cao Pi what was going on.

Cao Pi was reluctant to say anything at first, but when he was pressed more urgently, he couldn't hold it in any longer, "Mother!" Why do you still make me wear the same robe as that pretender! 』

There was no large-scale clothing industry in the Han Dynasty, so generally speaking, if the patterns were similar, they were made of the same cloth and satin. In other words, the robe Cao Pi wore was made by Madam Bian, and another set was made by Madam Bian. The deputy was given to He Yan and asked to wear it.

Mrs. Bian's face was expressionless, "What do you think?" 』

"He...he is a fake!" Just a fake! ” Cao Pi jumped up and down, lowering his voice and gritting his teeth, “Even if he wears the same clothes, he is still a fake! 』

Mrs. Bian raised her eyebrows slightly, but her voice was still so calm, "Since you know...then why are you angry?" 』

"Uh...I..." Cao Pi suddenly got stuck.

Mrs. Bian stood up, not bothering to pay much attention to the naughty child, "Do you think I gave you that robe when I had nothing to do?" Am I too full? Reflect on yourself, and don’t eat the preserved meat tonight, so as not to make you stupid if you eat too much. 』

Cao Pi immediately withered.

He was so angry just now that Cao Pi failed to understand. Now after Mrs. Bian said this, he actually thought clearly. Without Cao Cao's instruction, Mrs. Bian would not have made He Yan the same robe as Cao Pi. You must know that sewing robes is not like shopping for a certain treasure in later generations. You can just slide your fingers to place an order and wait for the express delivery. The so-called wanderer's robes are not empty words.

So, why did his father give orders or hints to make the same clothes for He Yan?

Cao Pi thought about it for a long time, until he was very hungry, but he couldn't figure it out. Or he thought of something in general, but it was all miscellaneous. It did not make him fully understand the intention, but became more and more confusing...

Only one thing was clear, he was hungry.

Naturally, no one dares to disobey Madam Bian's orders.

Cao Pi didn't dare to act like a monster again, after all, he had burned the robes made by his mother in anger. Mrs. Bian didn't beat him, she just starved him, which was already a great honor...

It's just a hungry meal, and no one will die, so just bear with it.

Cao Pi could only tighten his trousers and was about to drink a few mouthfuls of water to satisfy his hunger. However, when he saw the figure at the door, Cao Zhi came secretly. Then with a gloating expression, "Second brother, you have been punished by your mother again." Already? 』

"What does it mean again?" ! "Cao Pi said impatiently, shaking his hand, "Is there anything to eat? Bring it! Oh, why are there just so many boiled pods? 』

"Originally, I brought you a cooking cake... But my mother was afraid that I would come, so she asked someone to search me and took it back..." Cao Zhi glanced out with his little head, and then whispered, "Also. Well, I hid some...but that's all..."

Cao Pi sighed, squeezed the pod, and took the beans into his mouth. He mumbled and said, "Brother, let me tell you, those fake words are the most annoying..." …Don’t be like him in the future…”

The two brothers were talking quietly, but they didn't notice that in the distance in the corridor outside the window, Mrs. Bian was standing with her servants, holding a food box and watching.

"Well, since you have something to eat, forget it..."

After listening to the corner for a while, Mrs. Bian waved her hand, turned around and walked back, "Go back." 』
