Three Kingdoms

Hu people can be unreasonable, but Han people cannot.

Han people must appear as the makers, guardians and disseminators of rules, so that these barbarians can subtly form a relationship that depends on the Han people's diagnosis of right and wrong, and they will gradually be influenced by the Han people.

No one likes complete chaos. Except for those demons with horns on their heads and spitting sulfur, most people hope that they can live in a stable and safe environment, rather than living in a place where they can be killed at any time. place.

But chaos always likes to find order and then bang on the door.

After hearing the news that Cao Cao's envoy had arrived, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Cao Jun's envoy?" who? 』

The messenger bowed his head and reported back, "It's Xin Ping, Xin Zhongzhi." 』

Xinpi's hand shook.

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and waved the soldiers to retreat.

"Protector, this is Cao Mengde's plan. Xin Pi cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "Cao Mengde must have sent a certain brother here because he knew that I was guarding the capital." 』

This is pretty disgusting.

Just like in history, Zha Quan sent Zhuge Jin to Sichuan and Shu to negotiate with Liu Bei.

This is not the first time that Sun Quan has done such disgusting things, at least it is not the first time that Zha Quan has asked Zhuge Jin to do such a bad job.

Before the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan wanted to ask Zhuge Jin to recruit Zhuge Liang on his behalf. However, at that time in history, Zhuge Liang did not have a straw boat to borrow arrows, nor did he have an altar to the east wind, and he had not yet shown his enchanting figure, so Sun Quan He didn't care too much about Zhuge Liang. After hearing that Zhuge Jin said that there was nothing he could do, since the brothers had differences and would not come together, Sun Quan just let it go.

If Zhuge Liang really did everything like in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Bei was only responsible for crying, Sun Quan would probably kill Zhuge Liang even if he turned against him. Even if he didn't throw away ten or eight pieces of soap, it would be unfair to Sun Quan's naturally cold character.

Who would have thought that Zhuge Liang would eventually become the mainstay of Sichuan and Shu?

Presumably when Sun Quan came back from his dream at night, he would sigh, "I had known..."

Zhuge Liang's Longzhong policy conflicted with Lu Su's strategy. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Jiangdong and Sichuan to achieve consistency in the land of Jingzhou Nanjun. The interests of both parties were fundamentally in conflict with each other. The so-called alliance and common Fighting against Cao Cao naturally became an empty talk. Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to directly cut off Zhuge Liang's mouth, making Zhuge Liang unable to intervene in military affairs for a period of time, and unable to make any good suggestions to Liu Bei on grand strategy.

If Zhuge Liang really has the ability to navigate the world in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then he must know that he and Jiangdong are irreconcilable on the Jingzhou issue. Either he must convince one party as early as possible, or he must draw a bigger cake for the other party to follow. , procrastination is not a good idea, and long-term procrastination will make the other party's anger level explode.

Sun Quan asked Zhuge Jin to go to Zhuge Liang twice, and asked Zhuge Jin to go all the way to Sichuan and Shu to discuss matters with Liu Bei about Jingzhou Nanjun. But what is very interesting is that Sun Quan had actually been mentally prepared to return without success. When Zhuge Jin came back and expressed his regrets, Sun Quan didn't even say a word of punishment. He just said that he had worked hard and had prepared soldiers for Sun Quan and started to tear him up.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan had a conflict, and Cao Cao came to the rescue. At that time, Cao Cao marched into Hanzhong. When Liu Bei saw that Hanzhong had been captured by Cao Cao, he was afraid that Sichuan and Shu would be lost, so he told Sun Quan that they could talk again. The two sides sat down to talk again and cut the dividing line. Then Liu Bei led the army to attack Hanzhong to fight against Cao Cao. Sun Quan looked left and right, and went to attack Hefei Xincheng to give Zhang Liao a spree of experience points.

Similar to Sun Quan's malicious intention in sending Zhuge Jin in history, Cao Cao sent Xin Ping this time. It can only be said that it was either intentional or intentional.

Could Cao Cao not know that Xin Pi was in the Northern Territory?

So it’s really disgusting…

Zhao Yun looked at Xin Pi and smiled.

Xin Pi held up his hands and said very seriously: "I will not go see a certain brother because I will be suspected of being a liar in the melon field. If my brother asks about it, the guardian will say that everyone is fine." 』

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Would you like to write a letter?" Someone forwarded it to you? 』

Xinpi shook his head and said, "No need." Over the years, my brother has never written to me, and I have never written to him. My brother's coming this time may not be his intention, but he was probably coerced by the Cao family...My brother is quite foolish and loyal. He persuaded a certain person to go west to Chang'an, but he was unwilling to leave Jizhou. He is also a pitiful person..."

"Um. Zhao Yun nodded, "Don't worry, I won't go out of my way to embarrass him." 』

Xinpi thanked him, "Thank you so much, Protector." 』

Xin Pi doesn't want to become the second Xun Chen.

If we talk about talents and strategies, Xun Chen is certainly not bad, but why has Xun Chen served as the prefect in Pingyang for so many years, and no one even mentioned it?

Because everyone knows that Xun Chen wrote letters to Xun He, and Xun He also wrote letters to Xun Chen.

Although these letters were delivered through the inns under the hustle riders, they were all unsealed and had never been covered up. They seemed to be very open and aboveboard and could not be kept secret from outsiders. But everyone knew the problem. This was not what it was. Good thing.

Since Simpi took up the position under the Hussars, he has stopped writing to his brother, and his brother has not written to him.

This is a kind of self-awareness and self-preservation.

Historically, Zhuge Liang wrote to Zhuge Jin only after he took sole control of power, and the purpose of writing letters was more to communicate with Sun Quan in the name of Zhuge Jin. For example, when Zhuge Liang was in the Northern Expedition, He wrote a letter to Zhuge Jin, and the letter also vaguely revealed the results of his attack...

Xin Pi even believed that Hussar had not killed Xun Chen so far, and allowed Xun Chen to stay in Pingyang as the prefect, which was already very merciful. At least if anyone under his command dared to do such a thing, he would be killed even if he did not kill him. He chased him far away.

Zhao Yun looked at Xin Pi, nodded, and then said: "In this case, you will stay in the camp and go to Changshan for a while. Brother Ru." 』

Xinpi bowed his hand again and said, "Don't worry, Protector. I will fulfill my duties faithfully and live up to the trust of the Protector." 』

Xinpi retreated.

Zhao Yun sat alone in the big tent, pondered for a long time, called Gan Feng and Zhang He, and after giving detailed instructions on military matters, he asked Gan Feng and Zhang He to stay in the camp to command the troops, and then he took them with him Directly under the guard, they rushed back to Changshan.

Gan Feng and others saw off Zhao Yun at the gate of the camp. When walking back, Gan Feng couldn't hide the smile on his face, and even felt like it was floating when he walked.

Zhang He frowned and glanced at Gan Feng.

When Gan Feng saw Zhang He's expression, he laughed twice, then paused, put his hands on his hips, laughed twice, and proudly said to Zhang He, "The fight is finally about to begin!" Hahaha! happy! happy! 』

Zhang He glanced sideways at Gan Feng but said nothing.

Simpi walked by and said, "Idiot. 』

Xin Pi was obviously in a bad mood, so he was not polite to Gan Feng.

If Xinbi had just come to the Northern Territory not long ago, he would definitely not dare to talk to Ganfeng like this. But now that they have been together for a long time, they have gotten to know each other a lot, and their tone of voice has naturally become more casual. Moreover, Xinpi really feels that he only knows how to understand each other. Gan Feng, who is happy when fighting, is indeed an "idiot".

"Xin Cheng..." Gan Feng curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, "How do you talk?" The war has begun and the soldiers and generals have military merits. Isn't that a good thing? 』

"Good thing?" Xinpi shook his head, "Not necessarily." 』

"Um? What do you mean? Gan Feng said angrily, "Are you afraid of war?" ! 』

Xinpi snorted, "So you are an idiot." Even if you tell me, you don’t understand. 』

"How can I understand if you don't tell me! ” Ganfeng shouted.

Ganfeng's shout attracted the attention of some soldiers...

Zhang He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "This is not a place for conversation." 』

"Um. 』

Xin Pi nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Gan Feng, "No, you can't leave until you make it clear." 』

"You are an idiot!" Xin Pi frowned and clicked his tongue, "Forget it, just go to the general's tent... By the way, are you hiding some wine in your tent?" 』

"Ah...ah?" I don't! You are talking nonsense! Gan Feng glared, "Just go to your tent!" 』

"Haha... that's okay. Xinpi turned a corner and said, "The guards are out of the camp. If you drink and cause trouble... military law is ruthless!" 』

"Don't worry, I definitely don't...well, I don't have any wine!" "Gan Feng stared at Xinpi, feeling that Xinpi's image was getting more and more hateful, "Come on, if you don't tell me clearly, I won't be able to let you go!" 』

"Junyi," Xinpi gestured, "I also have something to discuss. 』

Zhang He nodded. The three of them arrived at Xinpi's tent.

The inside of Xinpi's tent is very simple. Just like most officers' tents, the bottom layer is first laid with lime to isolate the soil and prevent insects, then a layer of straw is placed, and then the wooden boards are laid, and the wooden boards are only laid at the rear of the tent. That is, the place where you rest and sleep. The front half of the tent poles is still made of dirt, but it is still relatively dry and strong because of daily walking around and the digging of a fire pit.

Xinpi asked his entourage to move the military mazha, and the three of them sat down by the fire pit.

After Gan Feng sat down, he took off his shoes automatically and put his stinky feet tied with foot wraps on the remaining charcoal fire beside the fire pit to bake. The smell of old salted fish suddenly filled the air...

Xinpi frowned and stepped aside, "I regret it. I shouldn't have brought you to my tent." 』

Gan Feng laughed and shook his feet proudly, "There are so many things to pay attention to when you are out in the military!" Junyi, you can take off your boots and bake for a while, feel comfortable! 』

Zhang He smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it..." Xin Pi glanced at Zhang He and didn't say anything. Instead, he said directly, "Recently, there are rumors among the Hu tribe that during the transaction, the Han people took advantage, and then someone is instigating those Patriarchs and leaders should not do business with Han people..."

Gan Feng's face suddenly darkened, "Did you find out who was spreading the rumor?" 』

"I can't find it, but I can guess that most of them are members of the wise kings or generals..." Xinpi smiled and said, "From my perspective, these guys can't say they want to make their clan leaders and We had a falling out, and then we borrowed our hand... When they become the clan leader, they will probably have a different look..."

"What's the meaning? ” Gan Feng scratched his head a little.

Zhang He said from the side: "That is to say, if the Hu people want to borrow a knife to kill people, they need to lend us this knife and let us kill people. After killing the people, those guys will not only get benefits, but they can also continue to instigate the relationship between the Hu people and us." The relationship...can you understand? 』

"Snapped! ” Gan Feng clapped his hands angrily, “Then let’s go kill these rumored generals!” 』

"I told you it was just a rumor..." Zhang He shook his head, "How can you expect a barbarian like that, who can't figure out what two plus two equals, to be able to explain the origin of the rumor?" When we kill the generals on the left and right, not only will the leaders of the barbarians not be grateful to us for removing their hidden dangers, but they will think that we are meddling in their own business or even interfering with their authority, and they will feel resentful! 』

"Then kill the leader as well!" Gan Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them all and you'll be fine!" 』

"Hahaha... So you are an idiot..." Xinpi shook his head and sighed, "Jun Yi, you better explain it to him. I think if I say one more word to him, he will become even more stupid..."

Zhang He explained with a smile, "The purpose of the governor's trade in the Northern Territory is not to kill people, but to gather more barbarians for our use. Naturally, there will be dissatisfaction among the barbarians during this process. This is normal in itself." If we kill people on a large scale at this time, will the Hu people trust their original Hu people commanders more or will they trust us? When people's hearts are scattered, it will not be so easy to gather these barbarians again..."

Xinpi nodded and said: "When I say this, I don't mean that I can't solve it, but I am telling you that killing is one way to solve the problem, but it is not the only way... Just like you just thought I am very happy to say that war is going to start, but...these two problems are the same. War is one way, but it is not the only way..."

Ganfeng touched his head and said, "I'm confused." 』

"I'm sorry... I couldn't hold it back just now..." Xin Pi glanced at Zhang He and gestured, "Jun Yi, it's up to you... you continue..."

Zhang He said with a smile, but as he spoke, his face became a little serious, "It's like this... You think we have strong soldiers and horses here, and we can fight. This is true, but after the war begins, will we have all the soldiers and horses to support us?" Don't think about it? Do all lines in Sichuan and Sichuan need to coordinate? After attacking enemy territory, will it be a stabilization or a sudden advance? Whether to proceed slowly or to go straight to the point, etc., all require some preparation... Of course, you may think that these things are all hard work or matters considered by the guardian, and have nothing to do with you... Right, you nodded... So since it has nothing to do with you, why are you happy, and why do you want to make decisions for the Protector and Xin Chang? 』

"I didn't..." Gan Feng looked at Zhang He and then at Xin Pi, "I'm just saying..."

"As the commander of an army, you should naturally be cautious in your words and deeds. Zhang He shook his head and said, "Just like the example I gave just now, do you think only barbarians can spread rumors?" Do you believe it or not, just by talking casually, there will be rumors in the camp that a fight is going to start tomorrow? When the guard comes back, he will ask, "Who said that?" By the time……"

"How dare that bastard talk nonsense!" Gan Feng said angrily, and immediately saw the expressions of Xin Pi and Zhang He, he smiled awkwardly.

The three of them were slightly silent for a while.

After a while, Xin Pi broke the silence, "The guards returned to Changshan to see the envoy of Cao Jun. You all know this, but what you don't know is that this envoy of Cao Jun is my brother..."

"ah? ” Gan Feng was stunned. Zhao Yun only explained military matters to him, but did not tell him who the envoy of Cao Jun was.

Zhang He's eyes flashed.

Xin Pi glanced at Zhang He and said, "It seems that Jun Yi has already thought of it." 』

"What did you think of?" "Gan Feng glared at Xin Pi, and then at Zhang He, "I hate talking half-speech..."

Zhang He smiled bitterly and said, "A strategy for alienation." 』

Simpi nodded.

"What estrangement?" Gan Feng asked, "You?" Engage, or Junyi? 』

"All of them. Zhang He sighed, "Not only here, but also in the entire Guanzhong, Hedong, and Sichuan and Sichuan. It is estimated that they are all within the scope of this strategy. One move can affect the whole body. This is indeed a method used by Prime Minister Cao... …』

"Can't understand. Gan Feng frowned and said, "Is Cao Jun so powerful?" If you are really powerful, you won’t be suppressed and beaten by us..."

Xin Pi waved his hand and smiled weakly, "Cao Jun is Cao Jun, Shandong is Shandong... These are not the same thing at all. How can you bring them together... What a talent..."

"I also think I am a talent!" Gan Feng laughed, then stopped smiling, "But you two still have to make it clearer. I still don't understand." 』

"Let's put it this way," Zhang He said from the side, "if the lord and Prime Minister Cao had enmity before, for example, they sent troops to attack Yanzhou, plundered Yanzhou's population to fill the Guanzhong, massacred local officials and soldiers, and plundered the property of local surnames. The third auxiliary was transferred, and those who refused to obey were killed. The city was filled with murderers, and the rivers were clogged with corpses... So what will be the situation in Guanzhong and Shandong now? 』

"Is there anyone out there who is so stupid as to do such a thing?" Gan Feng waved his hand and said, "Your hypothesis is impossible!" 』

Zhang He said with a smile: "Cao Cheng has done it before." 』

"Uh..." Gan Feng was stunned for a moment.

Xinpi nodded and said, "Xuzhou." To this day, there are many people in Xuzhou who hate Prime Minister Cao to the core. Although they may not be in trouble at this time, they are just waiting for Prime Minister Cao to die and the next generation... This is the beauty of our Lord's method of benevolence..."

"It's hard to understand what's different!" "Gan Feng interrupted Xin Pi's words, "Let's be more straightforward... Do you mean that the lord actually didn't fight on purpose? Why? 』

"ha! Xinpi snorted, "How come you still don't understand?" My lord, keep your hands, don't kill General Cao's army, don't annex Shandong's land, don't threaten with military force... In fact, the purpose is very simple, how can you... Oh, I forgot that you have no brain... Forget it, you don't understand even if I say it. , you’d better continue not to understand! 』

Gan Feng was angry, stared, and after a moment of anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't tell me, I will take off the leg bindings!" 』

"scare! ” Simpi was suddenly shocked, “General Gan! How can you be so shameless! 』

The smell was so strong even before it was uncovered. If the footcloth was really removed and the smell was revealed, would I still be able to keep this tent?

Gan Feng laughed proudly and said, "Say!" It’s up to you to say it or not! 』

To say or not to say, that is really a question.
