Chapter 3164 God’s will is just multiple excuses (additional update)
Ma Liang admires the General of the Cavalry very much.
Compared with those old natives in Sichuan and Shu, new Sichuan, like Ma Liang, have no objections to the policies that Fei Qian and Xu Shu are promoting, and even support them very much.
It's very simple, because it's good for them.
So young people like Ma Liang naturally support the cavalry and Xu Shu.
The Han Dynasty had great righteousness. All dynasties in the world, as long as the regime with a little cultural heritage, would pursue great justice. The most important part of this great justice is to eat.
Appetite is actually the desire to survive, and it is the most primitive and fundamental desire of human beings.
Lao Tzu talks about morality, Confucius talks about loyalty and filial piety, or what other sages are talking about, has it delayed these sages' meals? Not only hasn't, Confucius also raised the issue of eating to the level of "ritual". How to eat to conform to "ritual" and how to eat to teach them to the rulers of China.
Yang Song wants to have a meal.
Ma Liang also wants to have a meal.
When the rice cooker is not big enough and there is not enough rice, the elderly eat more, and the newcomer eats less.
The old man felt that this pot was enough for them to eat, and they had already sweated and bleeding for this pot. Isn’t it time to enjoy the age of happiness? Why should we continue to sweat and bleeding?
The newcomer felt that the newcomer had to endure hunger. He obviously couldn't get a few bites of food, so he either squeezed his head and snatched it into the pot, or was beaten by a group of old people and died of equal slaughter.
Few people will recreate the pot.
There are few people going to create, and there are many people waiting to copy.
There are few people cooking, and many people staring at the empty bowl.
The pot in Sichuan was originally small. Fei Qian and Xu Shu came, and made the pot bigger and more. Which pot in the snow area, the pot in Jiaozhi, and the pot facing the Western Regions that will be opened in the future will be smaller than the pot in Guanzhong and Jiangdong?
Then, should these large and small pots start to be reintegrated?
So the old man was unhappy...
But for a newcomer like Ma Liang, Is the immortal Banban?
Ma Liang skillfully took off the leather bag from the horse's back, then took out the rope and axe, and pulled up several tripping ropes at the bend of the road.
Then a distance was separated and a few more were pulled.
Ma Liang didn't think he was a scholar, and would lose face if he did such a job with these soldiers and guards now, nor did he think there was anything wrong with setting up an ambush in secret to capture Yang Song.
Ma Liang felt that it was the right thing to do, like a cavalry, with a larger artificial pot, and then let more people eat, and then take the people who eat to do more things, more pots, and more food. He only sticks to the original pot, and then tries to eat until he dies, and wants his own descendants to eat, are often people with no ability.
Since you are not capable, don't complain.
After everything was arranged, Ma Liang and others hid in the forest. He brought more than 20 soldiers to one side. Another confidant guard of the Ma family ambushed the other side with the rest of the soldiers. They tied the horses deep in the forest and placed bows, arrows, swords and guns in a handy position.
After the ambush, the forest became quiet again.
After a moment, a bird's song suddenly came from the outside of the forest.
The forest immediately became even quieter, like a black hole where even the sound would be swallowed.
The sound of horse hooves approaches, and the vehicle's wheel hubs press on the gravel road.
The group walked in a hurry.
Ma Liang grabbed the bow and took the arrow, controlling him without making any sound.
The sound of horse hooves is approaching.
Sichuan and Sichuan horses and Yunnan horses are not tall, so most of the Sichuan and Yunnan horses are left to the people for use. Although they are also used on the battlefield, there are better Xiliang horses, so Sichuan and Yunnan horses are of course not enough to see. But no matter what kind of horses it is, they will definitely fall if they are blocked.
When the first horse neighed and fell down and threw the rider on the horse's back out, Ma Liang also stood up from behind the bushes in the forest, shot out the arrow in his hand, and then quickly copied the second arrow, repeating the previous action again. In a blink of an eye, five arrows were shot out in a row, so his arm was a little overwhelmed, so he threw down the bow and picked up the knife.
The people who were lying on the other side also rushed out, and the arrows and slashing and slashing immediately broke the entire convoy into a mess. Screams were everywhere, and blood was flying everywhere.
Yang Song shrank himself into a ball as much as possible, lay on the edge of the vehicle's handrail, trembling.
Ma Liang carried the knife and walked forward slowly.
Fighting and screaming around him sounded from time to time.
The vehicle that looked like an empty person was trembling slightly.
Ma Liang couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, and knocked the outer board of the car with a battle knife, "Come out! Don't pretend to be dead!"
Yang Song continued to shrink his head under the shadow of the car board, without saying a word, and his whole body was trembling.
After waiting for a while, Ma Liang was a little impatient. He turned his head slightly and signaled that a soldier rushed into the car, pulled Yang Song out of the car like a pig, and threw it to the ground with a puff.
Yang Song also screamed as if he was about to be dragged onto the chopping board, which was quite appropriate.
"I'll give me money! I'll give me money!" Yang Song howled, his whole body filled with greasy aura, "Don't kill me! I'll give me money!"
『Haha…』 Ma Liang smiled and kicked Yang Song, 『Look at who this is? Can anyone die live? It’s amazing!』
After being kicked by Ma Liang, Yang Song basically had no feeling. He had too much fat, and this kind of blow was ineffective on him.
But this kick could be considered a kick to Yang Song's reason.
At first, Yang Song thought he had encountered a robbery, but when he heard Ma Liang's words, he opened his eyes and looked around. Suddenly he saw a familiar figure. A nameless fire suddenly rose up, jumping on the ground and trying to pounce on it, which made it difficult for the soldiers to hold him down. In addition, only one person could press Yang Song back to the ground.
"Traitor! You betray me!" Yang Song twisted on the ground and sweared, "The maid! She adopted her son! She won't die well!"
The figure that made Yang Song angry nodded and bowed at Ma Liang with a smile on his face, "Mr. Ma Xiaolangjun, I'm not wrong, this guy pretended to be dead..."
If you betray, or if you are the one who has made Yang Song's Lei Tong, you can't find any guilt or embarrassment on your face, but you will be as bright as a chrysanthemum. "Ma Xiaolangjun, this time, I'm just a little bit of merit?"
Lei Tong is actually a bit like a huha, a dog that can never be fed and cannot be fed, perhaps just for a bite, and he would waggle his tail and follow the passerby one day. Let Lei Tong stay at home, even if he doesn't tear the house, he can still play with the thief. He screams when he has nothing to do, accusing the owner of unfairness and not enough dog food...
So when Lei Tong acted like this, he was naturally targeted by Yang Song. He threw some bones casually. Suddenly, Lei Tong's tail was shaken, which made Yang Song feel excited. He felt that he had found a good dog, but he didn't know that Lei Tong's breed would be more close to his mother when he had meat. If he had no meat, he would be a hammer?
Yang Songzhi was very talented and thought he could control Lei Tong, and then let the dog go out to cause trouble. However, when he found Lei Tong, he was sold by Lei Tong without hesitation.
"For sure, of course." Ma Liang smiled and nodded.
Ma Liang and Lei Tong have a bad relationship, but Ma Liang is very smart. He understands that Lei Tong will definitely be rewarded at this time, so there is no need for him to have a stern face and have a conflict with Lei Tong.
"That's good...hehe, that's good..." Lei Tong rubbed his hands, without any embarrassment of the young man bowing his head.
For him, the dog food in front of him... Oh, the benefits that can be obtained are the most important, so he betrayed Yang Song without any turmoil in his heart. Anyway, the benefits given by Yang Song are obviously not as good as those of betraying Yang Song. So Lei Tong didn't even look at Yang Song for a longer time, and even felt that Yang Song was annoyed by the whispering, and intentionally or unintentionally raised a foot of sand and pounced on Yang Song's mouth and nose.
"Ph...cough...cough...cough..." Yang Song coughed continuously.
Ma Liang inspected the whole thing he should bring, and packed the letters and tokens he searched out, and then asked someone to tie up Yang Song and put them on the horse's butt, "I'll be sorry for the rest of Captain Laurei to clean up..."
Lei Tong smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Ma Xiaolangjun walked slowly, walked slowly..."
When Ma Liang and his men walked back, Lei Tong let out a long breath, "The immortal Banban was almost killed by this turtle grandson... Come on, clean it up and take away all the valuables! Take off all the clothes for me! Don't kill the lame horses first, raise them first... over there! The arrows over there... dig up any pits, throw them into the forest...
...

Is Cao's army not working hard enough?
Or is it that the ladder that Lao Cao climbed over the wall is not enough?
However, Cao's army was still stuck in Tongguan and could not make any progress.
Although for Guo Jia and Dong Zhao, they can understand better than ordinary people with only brains that a big battle is not a street fight, and Tongguan is not an ordinary pass, they still feel a little depressed every time they stare at Tongguan.
The relationship between Guo Jia and Dong Zhao is actually not very good.
Guo Jia looked down on Dong Zhao, and Dong Zhao looked down on Guo Jia even more.
One of them is a military advisor, and the other is a military advisor...
ha.
Although both of them are military advisors, they have their own division of labor, one is biased towards attack, and even responsible for part of the intelligence work of Lao Cao, and the other is biased towards logistics, responsible for military material dispatch and other matters. However, both of them are military advisors, and in many cases they can also talk about the matters under the jurisdiction of the other party.
In addition, the two parties have completely different backgrounds and positions, so they don’t like each other…
Of course, on the surface, they are all polite.
Being polite is actually a political compromise.
In fact, whether it is a military advisor or a military advisor, it is the product of Cao Cao's official position in the early stage when he was not qualified for his official position. There are also various central guards who are in line with this position.
These positions, which were originally not very famous in the Han Dynasty, built Cao Cao's most core political and personnel structure.
These are the products of compromise.
There are no big problems that can be compromised, but what cannot be compromised is often big problems.
It's like Tongguan in front of you and Guanzhong behind Tongguan.
"Gongren is so elegant today! It's rare to look for me to see the scenery... Haha, why not say bluntly, what's going on?"
Guo Jia was wearing a leather robe and shrank his head into the fur. If the ribbon on the belt had not indicated the identity of a Han official, he would have thought that Guo Jia was a Hu person.
Dong Zhao was wearing a man's official robe, wrapped in a cloak on his outside, and a Jinxian crown on his head. Even in the cold wind, he was meticulous.
Dong Zhao looked at Guo Jia, "The scenery here is unique... Please see if you are filial piety..."
Dong Zhao pointed at the river.
Because the upstream is frozen, the river flow in the Heluo area is now very small. In some places, you can even see the riverbed exposed naked, and then hardened into pieces under the blow of the cold wind, like a solid rock.
Guo Jia's eyes moved, and then laughed, "It's cold here, I really don't know what scenery is..."
"Why do you have to say nothing about filial piety?" Dong Zhao took his hand back into the cloak and did not continue to point at the river.
There is no way, it's too cold.
Dong Zhao turned his head to look at Guo Jia, staring at Guo Jia's eyes under the cover of fur, "At this time of crisis, will Fengxiao still pretend to be crazy?"
This sentence is a bit harsh.
Guo Jia smiled, "What do you want to be Gongren?"
Dong Zhao was silent for a while, "I just want to bet less and be more sure."
As soon as Dong Zhao said this, Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh again.
During this encounter, the two of them discovered many things in just a few short conversations.
Dong Zhao was with Yuan Shao in the early years, and later turned to worship Cao Cao under Cao Cao's skirt. He supported Cao Cao to welcome the Han Emperor, but later persuaded Cao Cao to advance to the Duke of Wei, so it was not right to say that Dong Zhao was a complete royalist or conservative.
It can only be said that Dong Zhao is a "stable person", while Guo Jia is relatively "radical person".
Safe and conservative are two completely different concepts.
Conservative means not wanting change at all, while stable means hope to be safer and more confident when changes are changed.
The reason why Dong Zhao fell under Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was a more "safe" choice. Of course, Cao Cao's political attitude at that time was actually more tolerant and had a deeper vision than Yuan Shao.
At the beginning, Fei Qian in Guanzhong, most people ignored it...
No one expected that Fei Qian would become such a huge monster at the moment.
In fact, Guo Jia is also thinking these days, and weighing the trade-offs. After all, there can be changes before the chess piece falls, but once it falls, the position is fixed and the change is nailed to death.
"Fengxiao, I can see this strategy..." Dong Zhao said slowly, "Then can't the people in Guanzhong see it?"
Guo Jia is still silent.
"Now General Zixiao is acting in Wuguan, attacking Wuguan openly and taking Hanzhong secretly, just for the sake of what to do..." Dong Zhao's voice was lowered, "Isn't it just for what to do? Is there another way to choose? Since that's the case, why not slow down? What can I do when I once strong Qin? The three households are enough to destroy Qin..."
Guo Jia shouted, "What are you talking about "the world suffers from Qin"? The so-called "the world suffers from Qin" will Gongren really not know the reason?"
In the documents that the Han Dynasty officially declared that the Former Qin Dynasty always expressed that "the world suffers from Qin", and then used this to prove its political correctness. Whether it is in relatively rigorous documents such as "Records of the Grand Historian", or in the discussion verses such as "Theory of Qin", they are always bound to say "complex and severe punishments, and profound administration", which makes "the world suffer", which eventually led to Chen and Wu "struggle in the big lake and responding to the world".
But in fact, the so-called "The world suffers from Qin" is just a slogan, and it is repeatedly used by different people to prove the correctness of their behavior. Chen and Wu said this, General Zhang Chu and Wu Chen said this, and Liu Bang naturally said this. The real situation is that there is no "The world suffers from Qin" in Guanzhong, and even those who are against Qin among the six countries are the most intense, and there is no reaction in other places at all. The so-called "the world" is just a cover-up.
Therefore, Guo Jia said that Dong Zhao’s remarks here are similar to “the world suffers from Qin”, and naturally anyone can understand its intention.
Dong Zhao's eyes became more and more worried.
The biggest cognitive difference between Guo Jia and Dong Zhao is that Guo Jia believes that if Guanzhong lasts for a few years and continues to develop, Shandong will not be able to compete at all. However, Dong Zhao thinks it is just a "strong Qin". If the "strong Qin" wants to unify, it will have to strive for three lifetimes. No matter how powerful Fei Qian is, it will only last for a lifetime. When Fei II is, it may collapse directly. Why should you take a risk now?
『If you cannot overcome it...』 Dong Zhao said in a deep voice, 『With filial piety, have you ever thought about the consequences? If you stop here and use this as a gulf to isolate traffic, it will be difficult for us to attack Tongguan. Can it be easy for us to reach the natural barrier? The land of Shandong, people are ten times as big as Guanzhong, and things are ten times as big as Guanzhong, so why should we take risks...』
Dong Zhao knew that he could not impress Cao Cao because Dong Zhao knew in his heart that Cao Cao was very gambled, which was very compatible with Guo Jia. So if he directly advised him, he would probably have no result. However, if Guo Jia, who best supports Cao Cao's gambled, also objected, then he might be able to adopt a more stable strategy.
In Dong Zhao's view, the development of Guanzhong cannot be separated from Shandong. If we are isolated from each other and use deep trenches as barriers to cut off contacts, then what can Feiqian do if he can jump around? Without such a large market in Shandong, it is impossible to obtain Shandong's money. At the same time, Shandong has a huge population and good agricultural foundation support. After Qin Yishi, well, after Feiyishi is out of the way, there will naturally be a better offensive opportunity. Isn't this safer?
Guo Jia shook his head, "I also know the meaning of Gongren... but this boat is sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat... There is a saying that the Chu River and Han dynasties are two parts, but who knows that the songs in Gaixia are in chaos..."
"I will be filial to you..."
Dong Zhao was still waiting to say something, but suddenly saw something in his eyes, and then he couldn't help but look up.
At some point, snow fell in the sky.
The snowflakes were flying, blocking everyone's vision for a while, hazy the sky and blurring the mountains, rivers and rivers in the distance.
"God's will is so, God's will is so!" Guo Jia also looked up at the sky, "Haha, since God's will is so, then take a gamble and buy it and leave it!"
After saying that, Guo Jia immediately turned around and took a big step away.
Dong Zhao looked at the sky blankly, then waited for the snowflakes to slam the face, and felt a little cold, then turned to see Guo Jia's leaving back. After a long time, he sighed slowly...
Chapter completed!
