Three Kingdoms

The most powerful thing about human beings is their ability to cooperate.

The weakest thing about human beings is their inability to cooperate.

The Han Dynasty has a vast territory, so various counties, counties and clans will always have their own ideas.

Although the land of Sichuan and Sichuan is not that big, it still has its own problems and ideas.

Just like Dong Yun.

Dong Yun felt a little unconvinced now.

"Father, there is a lot of chaos in the academy. It's time to take good care of it..."

Dong He held a volume of book in his hand and leaned close to the candle. He raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the book. He seemed to say casually: "What on earth is going on?" 』

"Father, students in the academy are instigated by traitors to slander scriptures, criticize the annotations, and even openly declare that the scriptures cannot be trusted..." Dong Yun said very seriously, "Such people have such a big heart. It is definitely small, how can it be used? If it is not managed and everyone follows suit, wouldn't it be a disaster if it continues? By then, there will be many ills and troubles! 』

Dong He slowly put down the book in his hand, and then looked at Dong Yun, "What should I do if I depend on you?" 』

"It is strictly prohibited to slander scriptures, and violators will be severely punished!" Dong Yun obviously had some ideas and immediately said without hesitation, "The scriptures were handed down from ancient times and were written by our ancestors. How can we slander them at will?" This is disrespectful! 』

"Hmm..." Dong He tapped the book in his hand gently, "It was passed down from ancient times and written by our ancestors?" 』

"Exactly!" Dong Yun answered decisively.

"Well..." Dong He hummed slightly again, nodded, and then handed the book in his hand to Dong Yun, and then seemed to suddenly jump to another topic, "This book is about Yang Gongzhi." "Tai Xuan", there is a saying: "Tame the Xuan, the infinite movement is just like the sky. Yin and Yang are unified by one Yang, and all things are in shape. There are three members of the Fangzhou tribe. Chen Qijiu thinks that he can count lives, and he praises it. The top group outline is based on the name..."

Dong Yun didn't quite understand. He opened his eyes and nodded in confusion.

Yang Xiong, a famous person in Sichuan and Sichuan. Of course Dong Yun knew his name, but he didn't know what Dong He meant when he suddenly said it.

"I originally thought that the world is just like Yang Gong said, with Yin and Yang cooperating to form three directions. One Yang is one party, and one unified is the unified heaven. If one party is unified, then the two parties can be unified. The three systems inherit each other and govern all things, so all things take their shapes. ” Dong He smiled and said something that made Dong Yun a little confused, “But now that I think about it, this Yang is nothing, and the three systems are general. It is cloudy when I look at it, but I don’t understand it when I think about it. The mystery of "Tai Xuan" is mostly made up of mysteries. The state... I don’t know what you think? 』

Dong Yun still couldn't figure it out, so he echoed subconsciously, "What father said is true." 』

"You think I'm right? Dong He stared at Dong Yun and asked, "Am I right, or is Mr. Yang right?" 』

Dong Yun frowned slightly, as if he found something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he hesitated and couldn't answer.

"You bastard!" Dong He suddenly shouted angrily and threw the book in his hand at Dong Yun.

Dong Yun was startled and quickly fell to the ground, "Father, calm down, calm down!" 』

"Let me ask you, what has been passed down in ancient times and written by our ancestors that cannot be slandered or discussed lightly? Is it what others say or what you think? Dong He stretched out his hand like a halberd, "Tell the truth!" 』

"Yes, it's what others said...My child, my child also thinks so..." Dong Yun lowered his head and answered.

"idiot! Damn it! ” Dong He was so angry that he slapped the table eucalyptus, which seemed to make the candlelight beside him dance wildly, “What’s your name?” Um? Is your surname Yang? Is your surname Kong? It was passed down from ancient times and written by our ancestors! Are ancient books, written by our ancestors, unquestionable and not subject to discussion? How could I be so stupid as you? 』

"But..." Dong Yun was still a little unconvinced.

After all, in Sichuan and Shu, for a long time, it has been popular to say small words and prophecies. Ancient scriptures are the "source" or "explanation" of everything in the world. Anyway, they are supreme. , no one is allowed to question, and even making complaints will arouse the anger of others, and even launch various personal attacks on the complainers.

Just like what Dong Yun said before.

Dong Yun said that some people in the academy have ridiculed the scriptures many times, which is disrespectful to "the scriptures passed down in ancient times and written by our ancestors". Dong Yun felt that this behavior was venting resentment, which made Dong Yun very uncomfortable. Dong Yun even felt that this method was more serious than the errors in the original scriptures, and was a manifestation of the mental illness of these complainers... …

Then Dong Yun said that people are people and books are books. I hope to "pay attention" to these criticized scriptures and question the "mental health" of those who complain. It is best to "handle" it as a very important matter, otherwise it will There will be chaos...

Dong He was very angry. He pointed at Dong Yun and cursed, "These scriptures were either handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period or written by the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. Could it be that they are all your ancestors?" ah? What is disrespect? If you feel that the scriptures written by that person are unquestionable and not subject to discussion, then don’t change your surname to Dong today. Just change the surname of the author of that book! 』

""Di Tuo's crown, his crotch and his speech, Yu's march and Shun's, this is the despicable Confucian of the Zi Zhang family. He straightens his clothes and hats, his color is correct, but he says nothing all day long, this is the despicable Confucian of the Zi Xia family. Those who steal Confucianism and worry about it, and eat and drink without shame, must be said that a gentleman has no strength, and he is a despicable Confucian of the Ziyou family!" Dong He patted the table eucalyptus, "Whose opinion is this? Could it be that this is also "disrespectful"? Do you also want to convict him and punish him severely? go! Go punish him! 』

How to punish crime? Going down to the underworld for punishment?

Dong Yun knocked his head on the ground, "My child is wrong!" Father, please calm down, calm down! 』

"Where did you go wrong?" Dong He controlled his emotions, exhaled, and said in a deep voice, "Speak for yourself!" 』

Dong Yun still didn't dare to raise his head, "My child...is ignorant of the truth, makes rash comments, and fails to correct his words and deeds..."

Dong He listened, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Wipe your tears!" Get up and sit tight! 』

Dong Yun agreed, quickly wiped away his tears, and then sat aside.

"Those mistakes you just mentioned..." Dong He said slowly, "Yes, but also wrong... Think about it for yourself, what you think is "disrespectful" behavior, the scriptures that others criticize, what they say, Did you write it? No, you didn’t write it, so why are you angry? The author of the scripture didn't take it seriously, but you think there's something "disrespectful" about it? Do I need you to "rectify my intentions and redress my grievances"? 』

Dong Yun was stunned.

Is Dong Yun stupid? In fact, he is not stupid, but he is still young and cannot think clearly. In other words, cleverness leads to misunderstandings. It is difficult to turn around when one walks into a bull's horns and cannot get out.

In fact, this problem is somewhat similar to the geocentric theory and the heliocentric theory.

The geocentric theory came out first, and the heliocentric theory came out later. Readers who read the geocentric theory said that the author of the heliocentric theory actually ridiculed the theory of geocentric theory again and again in the book, and complained about the author of the geocentric theory. It is really a dark psychology and a heinous crime. It must be To treat the author of heliocentrism properly, it would be better to be tied to a pillar of fire and receive the caress of the God of Light?

In fact, the heliocentric theory is not correct, so those who read the geocentric theory first felt that the heliocentric theory was not qualified to "mockery and complain" about the geocentric theory, and they were very angry.

What exactly are you angry about?

Dong He breathed out slowly, "My father will go to Dongchuan in a few days... The post of Chengdu prefect will be directly taken over by Faxiao... I originally thought you could stay in Chengdu, but now it seems that you still Come with me to Dongchuan..."

"Father..." Dong Yun felt that this incident was sudden.

Dong He looked at Dong Yun, "I thought you had grown up before, but now I think you still need some time... You thought you hid it well and said some noble words so that no one could see what you really think." of? 』

Dong Yun was speechless.

"Go and think about it." Dong He waved his hand and said, "Think again why there was a new governor of Dongchuan, and then think about why Fa Xiaozhi was asked to take over as the governor of Chengdu..."

……ヽ(｀⌒′?……

Dongchuan, Badong.

Gan Ning's camp in Badong was set up on the bank of the river.

After the Battle of Badong and Bazhong, Gan Ning, as the main general who frightened the Ba people, and Yan Yan were stationed north and south in the Dongchuan area. Gan Ning was further north, and Yan Yan was closer to Jianning.

Over this period of time, the size of Gan Ning's camp also expanded slightly.

After all, the Ba people had already been defeated in the former Qin Dynasty. Now there is nothing unacceptable if they are defeated again. Some Ba people even joined Gan Ning's command.

During the Han Dynasty, and even for a long time in later generations, the soldiers in the south were inferior to those in the north.

It's not that people in the south are not brave or there are other problems. There are many factors involved. One of the more important external factors is that there are more wars in the north, so there must be elites in a hundred battles.

Relatively speaking, the scale of the war in the South was relatively small. In addition, most of the war was in mountains, forests, hills and rivers. As a result, the elite soldiers in the North were not adapted to the war environment in the South. At the same time, coupled with the geographical environment, it was necessary to achieve large-scale outflanking and Encirclement is more difficult. As long as the defeated party escapes into the mountains and forests, it is basically difficult to catch up, so most of the time they can only camp step by step. Once they are stuck at a key point, it is often difficult to make progress.

Just like the time Liu Bei got his butt burned by Lu Xun...

Gan Ning was living quite well these days.

Night has fallen, and in Gan Ning's camp, there are dots of bonfires, but they are arranged neatly.

Although Gan Ning's navy was stronger, his army was not too bad either.

The soldiers who had worked hard all day were sitting around the campfire, cooking ingredients, or chatting. Occasionally, there was laughter and fighting, but the commander and the team leader didn't pay attention. After all, this is a relatively relaxing time of the day. There are no soldiers on duty who will basically rest after eating the preserved pork.

But at this moment, the soldiers patrolling in the distance suddenly sent out some panicked signals, which immediately caused some restlessness in the camp...

Not long after Xu Huang arrived in eastern Sichuan, he went directly to Gan Ning's camp!

Gan Ning quickly came out to greet him.

Xu Huang discovered many problems along the way. After meeting Gan Ning, he frowned when he entered the camp again.

The newly recruited Ba people stood crookedly, and it was clear from the first glance that they lacked training in formation. Not to mention that the Ba people cannot be trained. When Wei Yan was training the mountain army before, he also recruited a lot of Ba people. Couldn't he also impose orders and prohibitions and keep the queues in order?

There are also two guard towers missing in the camp.

The camp guardrail is too weak.

The ground in front of the camp gate was not level.

The smell in the camp is obviously not good. It is obvious that the health regulations are not implemented and people are urinating and defecating at will...

All kinds of things.

Xu Huang saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and his evaluation of Gan Ning dropped a level.

After entering the big tent, Xu Huang met Gan Ning's men and showed some friendly smiles. He even praised Gan Ning in front of these people. The atmosphere was harmonious, but when these middle- and lower-level military academies left After that, the smile on Xu Huang's face disappeared.

Gan Ning looked at Xu Huang with some anxiety, because Gan Ning knew that he did not do very well either.

"Xingba..." Xu Huang said slowly, "I heard that you are from Bajun?" 』

Gan Ning was startled for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Exactly." 』

"So, is it true that he was a light knight when he was young and later studied the philosophies? ” Xu Huang asked again.

Gan Ning was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said, "Yes." 』

Whose young man has never gone crazy?

In the culture of the Han Dynasty, the chivalrous style had a profound influence. After all, Mr. Liu Bang took this route back then. Anyone who respects him will be rewarded with respect. If anyone insults him, even if he can't beat him temporarily, he will quietly smash two pieces of glass, pull the switch several times...

The same goes for Gan Ning.

The young Gan Ning was one of the tyrants in Bazhong. Just like in later movies and TV shows, when a shout of "Xingba is coming" was heard on the street, all the shops in the street closed and the vendors fled...

Hmm, why does it feel like the urban management of later generations?

Ahem, forget it, when Gan Ning was twenty years old, he suddenly woke up and started reading.

It sounds like knowledge can change one's destiny, but in fact it was only when Gan Ning was twenty that he began to understand the nature of the real world...

Before he was twenty years old, if the local officials of the city where he lived or those who interacted with him received him with dignity, Gan Ning would be in love with him and would go through fire and water for him, no matter what. However, if the etiquette was not good, Gan Ning allowed his men to plunder the enemy's property and even harm officials.

To put it simply, the original Gan Ning lived in the faces of others. Those who smiled at him were good people, and those who were cruel to him were evil people. He did not care whether there was a knife in the smile or whether there was good medicine in the sincere words.

Xu Huang looked at Gan Ning's expression and guessed that Gan Ning might have encountered something at that point in time. The most likely thing was that Gan Ning encountered a major setback at that time...

Perhaps he killed someone who was not nice to him but was a truly good person, or someone who had a smile on his face borrowed Gan Ning's knife, or some other mistake made Gan Ning realize to his questions and realize the importance of knowledge.

"Hmm..." Xu Huang nodded, "That's it... Xingba is good at water fighting, which is something Huang is not good at." Excuse me, if this boat against the current cannot stop the oars, what will happen? 』

"Sail against the current..." Gan Ning repeated, then fell silent.

Xu Huang looked at Gan Ning and said, "The Ba people will follow the plan, but Sichuan and Shu have not yet been completely settled." If Sichuan and Shu are at peace, the world will not be settled. China is unified, especially the four directions. Is it possible that Xingba will die here? If this is the case, I will go to my lord and give him more rewards, and Xingba will return to his hometown to retire! 』

Xu Huang's words were not very harsh, but they made Gan Ning sweat slightly on his forehead.

Gan Ning was indeed slacking off during this period of time.

Of course, this is also related to Gan Ning's character. Gan Ning was so careless that naturally many details in the camp were not done well. These problems did not show any flaws on weekdays and became the target of enemy attacks. It was not that these problems were unimportant, but that when the soldiers did not have any The idea of ​​attacking the rebels and Gan Ning's bravery can temporarily deter them.

But the problem is that these problems are still there, and as soon as slack is started, it will be like rust on a knife and gun. If not dealt with in time, it will continue to expand until the original hard and sharp steel turns into a pile of soft rust.

Character cannot be an excuse for not doing things or doing wrong things, because character is personal, and things belong to everyone. If character problems lead to the final failure of things, it is basically equivalent to abolishing public service for personal reasons. .

According to Xu Huang's original character, if he saw that Gan Ning was not doing well at the moment, he would have directly dismissed him. Xu Huang was not familiar with Gan Ning anyway, so why should he give Gan Ning face, right?

However, Xu Huang no longer handles problems so simply and crudely.

Gan Ning and Yan Yan were both generals of Ba County, and they played a very important role in stabilizing the Ba people and eastern Sichuan. Once Xu Huangcai arrived in Sichuan and Shu, he immediately dismissed Gan Ning. Yan Yan would probably feel uneasy, and the Ba people would probably also feel

"The Lord ordered me to go to central Sichuan to build a military stronghold, open up roads, and open up the north and south." Xu Huang slightly arched his hands in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Does Xing Ba know the meaning?" 』

Gan Ning cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, general." 』

"It's because my lord's ambition is to conquer all parts of China!" If the road is blocked, make it through; if the mountain is uneven, make it flat; if it is not accessible from all directions, make it! "Xu Huang straightened his back and said loudly, "Today's situation in Sichuan and Shu is trapped. It is also wrong to talk about the majestic snow-capped mountains or the winding ancient roads! The difficulties in Sichuan and Shu are caused by ambitions! If you are trapped, people can't move, things can't flow, and over time, all your ambitions will be in vain! It’s hard to leave Sichuan and Shu, so it’s natural to stop here! 』

Xu Huang shouted in a deep voice: "Xingba, I would like to ask you, are you willing to follow my lord to the four seas and take over eight wilderness areas?" 』

Gan Ning also straightened his back, "I am willing to follow my lord!" Until the end of the world! 』

Xu Huang nodded, "I'll see what you do!" 』

Gan Ning bowed his hands and said, "In ten days, no, within five days, please ask the general to look at it again!" 』
