Chapter 377 Taking History as a Mirror
Guo Jia received the news that after a quarrel and game, the emperor agreed to Wang Yun's suggestion and rewarded military merits. He appointed Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong, and still led the lieutenant of the Si Li, presided over the military affairs of Chang'an, recruited refugees as soldiers. He moved the general of the Western Expedition to Huangfu Song as the general of the chariot and cavalry. Ma Teng as the general of the Western Expedition to be stationed in Ji County. Han Sui was appointed as the general of Zhenxi and stationed in Wugong. Both of them were controlled by Huangfu Song.
Under the operation of Huan Dian, Ding Chong and others, Wang Yun appointed Sun Jian as the General of the East and led the governor of Yuzhou, and was controlled by the Grand Marshal Zhu Jun. Sun Ce was the general to fight against rebellion, and Zhou Yu was the General Jianwei, and led troops westward into Chang'an, defended the emperor, and returned to Cao Cao's control.
Because Yuan Shu's biological father Yuan Feng and elder brother Yuan Ji had died, he recognized Yuan Shu's successor Yuan Feng's Marquis of Anguoting and added 300 households to show his condolences. Yuan Shu was dead and was posthumously named Xuanwu, and his son Yuan Yaosi was named.
The edict had been issued, but Chang'an was in chaos and the Xiliang soldiers were in chaos. The function of the post pavilion was basically paralyzed, and the post horse was incomplete, which was not as fast as Guo Jia's detailed work.
After reading the news, Sun Ce noticed that Lu Bu was ignored, Niu Fu and others were also ignored, and the court did not recognize his control over Nanyang County.
But he didn't care about these things. Whether the court admits it or not, Nanyang is his, and no one can take it away. For the edict, now there is the essence and discard the dross. The general's seal and ribbon are accepted, and what should be occupied will continue to occupy it. Send troops to Chang'an and listen to Cao Cao's restraint? It's a joke. If the defeated general becomes the general of Zhendong, I am the miscellaneous general. I still have to listen to his restraint? It's blind to your dog's eyes.
However, the general who fought against rebels was very familiar with him, but he was Sun Ce's official position in history.
On the way back to the camp, Sun Ce informed Zhang Hong of the news as soon as possible, which was both a sign of trust and an interview. Zhang Hong also had to test him, and he had to test Zhang Hong, and he was polite. He knew that Zhang Hong was a talented person and was loyal. However, after all, historical records were rough, so he could only see him reminding Sun Ce to be cautious, dissuading Sun Quan from breaking through the battlefield, and suggesting Sun Quan to establish the capital of Moling. The letters he sent to Sun Quan before his death also showed that he was well versed in the way of getting along with the king and his subjects. It is conceivable that he was not a famous scholar like Zhang Zhao, but since he wanted to be a king and his subject, it was always good to know more.
Besides, he invited Zhang Hong so grandly, it is difficult to guarantee that Guo Jia has no idea. Letting Zhang Hong show off his abilities will also help him cooperate.
Zhang Hong obviously knew it well. He put down the silk book and took a look at Guo Jia first. "Fengxiao must be in charge of military information. He had a complete plan for the confrontation in the last battle."
Guo Jia smiled and bowed. "Sir, I am sorry, I dare not take it. I do some miscellaneous things around the general, and occasionally check for misses, which is useless."
"If you are useless but can serve as a military sacrificial sacrificial wine, then I will doubt the general's employment." Zhang Hong made a joke and eased the atmosphere. "When you make a case, you must be familiar with human feelings and discover the truth; second, you must be proficient in investigation and visit neighbors. There are few people who are good at filing cases, and those who can make cases for decades without error are even rare. It is definitely not just about being proficient in laws and regulations. The Guo family in Yangdi passed down the family through the young Dulu. You will inherit the family's learning. You must be good at speculating on people's hearts and collecting information. You can see the truth from clues. Arrange to make detailed information and inquire about the news. It should be your work."
The smile on Guo Jia's face gradually faded, and then he bowed again, no longer having a trace of frivolity. "What the gentleman said is in every sentence."
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism and Law have successively established sects. Qin State has strengthened its country with law and unified the world. The Legalists have reached its peak. However, in just over ten years, the Qin Dynasty collapsed. Why is that?"
Sun Ce listened quietly, without expressing his opinion. Zhang Hong did not ask questions, but explained his views on the governance, mixed with his personal evaluation of Guo Jia. He just needed to listen carefully. He had heard too much about Qin's death by law. The highest opinion was Jia Yi, and later generations would not exceed his level. Despite this, he also wanted to listen to Zhang Hong's argument.
"Because the territory is vast and the affairs are numerous, and the Legalists are strict, they strive to make everything under control. For the monarch, they must do everything themselves and suffer in words. Qin Shihuang approved documents day and night, but he was unable to rest until night, but he refused to blame others, just for the sake of great power. Later generations either lacked abilities or could only appoint confidants around him, or they could not bear the suffering and were in vain. Therefore, the First Emperor died at fifty years ago, and the country was destroyed after several years of the second generation."
A flash of inspiration in Sun Ce's mind, and he suddenly understood what Zhang Hong meant.
Qin Shihuang died at the age of fifty. As for the emperor, his life span is not long. This is actually very abnormal.
It is true that the emperor has a short life, but Qin Shihuang is not listed here. Apart from personal factors, there are roughly two reasons for the emperor's short life. One is that the marriage of close relatives leads to congenital deficiencies. According to later scientific sayings, the probability of genetic disease is high, and the other is that there are too many women and not restrained enough. But Qin Shihuang was not like this. His parents were not close relatives. He grew up in Zhao State since childhood and was in good health. Although there were many women and children in his palace, he was not lustful. He did not even make a queen, nor did he particularly favor any concubine.
There are several people who have been working late into the night for many years and waste their energy on women.
He should have lived a long life, but his long-term high-load workload destroyed his health. He was actually exhausted. Considering his later years of seeking immortality, it can be roughly concluded that his body would decline after forty. Seeking immortality is not so much about immortality, but rather about regaining health.
For a man, thirty to forty years old is the time when his vitality is strongest, and he cannot tell if he is tired. Once he is over forty, his health will become prominent. If he is not careful, he will often die prematurely. This is the case with Qin Shihuang, and the same is true for Guo Jia in front of him. He died at less than forty. He used to think that Guo Jia died prematurely because of congenital deficits. Now that he thinks, too much workload is also a factor that cannot be ignored. He just mastered Yuzhou and had only more than a hundred people in the meticulous team. Guo Jia was already very busy and had a normal time to rest.
There is another example more typical than Guo Jia: Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is synonymous with devoted himself. He was exhausted. He died of 54 years old when he died, which did not seem to be considered premature death. However, considering that he monopolized the power after Liu Bei's death, it only took more than ten years, but in fact, it was similar to Guo Jia's time to serve under Cao Cao. If he had been given an important task by Liu Bei just after he came out of the mountain, perhaps Liu Bei's road to hegemony would be smoother, but Zhuge Liang might have died earlier.
It was a coincidence that he was also a Legalist and liked to do everything himself.
Zhang Hong noticed Sun Ce's expression and knew that he understood what he meant, at least he had some understanding. He was both surprised and excited. Reading more books does not mean that he understood more things, but also depends on understanding. Understanding is born. Zhang Liang explained "Taigong's Art of War" to others, but few people understood it. However, Liu Bang understood it as soon as he heard it. This is understanding. Zhang Liang decided to follow Liu Bang, and he was attracted by Liu Bang's understanding.
Obviously, Sun Ce also has a high understanding.
"This is true for the king and the country. Behind everything is the consumption of a lot of manpower and material resources. The Legalists use the law to organize the army to encourage farming and war, which is also due to this. The good lies in the ability to do the whole country and do what they want, leaving no one behind. Therefore, although the Qin people are not more than the six countries, Qin can destroy the six countries. The evil lies in the exhale of the lake and fishing, and the people live in poverty. In the world of great struggle, they can barely do it. The six countries have been destroyed, and they will also fight against Yue in the south and Hu in the north. They will suffer from Qin for years. Therefore, Chen Sheng was able to lift up his pole and rise up, and the strong Qin collapsed and collapsed."
