Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 220 Sanxing Dahan?

曹府
This is the mansion of Cao Cao, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and today the entire Cao mansion is in a state of war. All Cao Cao's guests, brothers, and family generals are all armed and ready for battle.

The reason for this is that Cao Cao came to Yuan Shao's house immediately after Yuan Shao's death, pulled out the Yitian sword, and brought Yuan Shao's wife and children back to Cao's mansion.

This is not Cao Cao's wives accusation attack, Yuan Shao came to comfort his wife as soon as Yuan Shao left, but to ensure the lives of Yuan Shao's wife and children.

Although He Jin said that he would guarantee the inheritance of Yuan Shao's lineage after Yuan Shao's death, but this kind of words, just listen to it, who knows how sincere He Jin is when he said this?

Taking a step back, even if He Jin thinks this way from the bottom of his heart, who can guarantee that He Jin's subordinates won't sneak up on Mimi?

Yuan Shao is a role model in the minds of many young scholars. He has offended many people and has many enemies. Who is willing to let a Yuan Shao II appear?

Why not take advantage of Yuan Tan's young age and send him directly to meet Yuan Shao below, which can be regarded as a family reunion.

Therefore, without further ado, Cao Cao took Yuan Shao's wife and children back to the Cao Mansion. That night, Yuan Shao's original mansion was burned down.

At this moment, Cao Cao is patrolling the mansion with the Yitian sword, and he has made a full gesture. This is to tell the world that Yuan Shao's wife and daughter, I, Cao Mengde, have been saved. If you have any objections, you can come and fight with me first. If I fail , you can do it, but don't do it until you cross my line.

Due to his identity, Liu Bei couldn't come directly to help, nor could he come to the platform, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could only ask Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to bring a large number of strong men to help.

But at this moment, Cao Cao and Guan Zhang were sitting outside his wife's door, chatting, and suddenly Cao Cao looked at the sky, and then he was greatly shocked.

Seeing Cao Cao's shocked expression, Zhang Fei said loudly, "What's the matter? What's the matter? Is Yuan Shao dead? Is the emperor abolished? What did Dong Zhuo do again? What's the situation in the world like?"

Although Guan Yu didn't yell like Zhang Fei, he squinted his red phoenix eyes, waiting for Cao Cao's narration.

After all, among the three, only Cao Cao is capable of both civil and military skills, practicing both martial arts and gods, and he has achieved success in both.

Cao Cao rubbed his head in a daze, only to realize that there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead: "This fourth round is really great. It says that Li Wenyou recommends Wolong again, and Dong Zhongying pays three visits to thatched cottage..."

"Crouching dragon? Who is the crouching dragon? The lying dragon? What's the matter with a good dragon lying on the ground instead of flying in the sky?"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhang Fei asked a series of questions and interrupted Cao Cao directly, but Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, after all, Zhang Fei had such a personality for many years.

"The fourth chapter is relatively long and can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part is about Dong Zhuo abolishing the emperor, and then I assassinated Dong Zhuo in the name of presenting a knife, but the assassination failed. I accidentally killed my uncle's family on the way to escape. , and said that it is better for me to blame others than for others to blame me."

At this moment, Cao Cao only felt that the whole world was full of malice, why?Why do you slander me so much?
What is there about me, Cao Cao, that deserves your slander?

When did I become so bad?
Besides, with my cultivation base, how could it be possible that I can't even hear clearly about killing a pig?I am a great master of refining gods, once I scan my mental power, don't I know everything?

How could it be possible to kill the uncle's family by mistake directly because of this?

absurd!

It is really ridiculous!

Zhang Fei also nodded again and again: "That's the reason. Although you are not as good as me, you are still the best in the world. You can easily kill a hundred soldiers with a single sword. Your uncle's family is simply not enough for you to kill alone. "

But Guan Yu stroked his beard: "Meng De, what's next?"

"Next is the second half of the plot. The second half says that after Dong Zhuo was assassinated by me, although he was fine, he was frightened, so he called the military advisor Li Ru and asked him for advice."

"Then Li Ru said that the current situation is essentially that the Kanto scholars refused to accept him, a warrior from Kansai, assuming a high position."

Guandong scholars can tolerate their own people as officials, they can also tolerate foreign relatives such as generals as officials, and they can even tolerate family members from other places as officials in authority, but they just cannot tolerate officials in Kansai.

This is a matter of principle!

"Then, Li Ru said that in the current situation, he has no good solution. He can only take one step at a time. However, he has a friend who is ten times as talented as him. Even if he is alive, he can't compare He is as talented as Guan Zhong and Wei Yang."

"It is also said that this great talent called himself Wolong. He was originally an ordinary imperial student. Later, in order to avoid disaster, he lived in seclusion on Daqing Mountain, fifty miles west of Luoyang City."

"This is what Li Ru is capable of. He is just a villain. It seems that the Crouching Dragon he talks about is nothing more than that." Zhang Fei said carelessly.

But Guan Yu directly shook his head: "No, although this Li Ru is not good in character, he still has talent. If this Wolong is really ten times as talented as him, then he is really a national warrior."

Speaking of this, Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao: "What happened next?"

"Later, under Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo brought thousands of guards to the Wolonggang of Daqing Mountain. It was the first time I saw him, but I didn't see him."

"And then?" Zhang Fei continued to ask.

"Then, Li Ru suggested to come back next time. Li Ru also said that Wolong is really a national scholar. He is a person who can change the general situation of the world if he gets it. Don't take it lightly."

"Then Dong Zhuo was very unhappy, but he followed Li Ru's advice. A few days later, Dong Zhuo came again. This time, he didn't see Wolong himself, but he saw Wolong's bookboy. After the bookboy knew what he was coming for, he took out Wolong's writing I showed Dong Zhuo a brief analysis of the various classes in the Han Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's forehead was sweating again: "In this book, the Han Dynasty is divided into seven levels according to the status of the emperor, the clan, the family, the powerful, the good family, the common people, and the slaves. analyzed what the group wanted at every level."

"This book says that different groups want different things. If someone can use this contradiction cleverly, they can divide and conquer and let them fight each other. It also says that this kind of ruling method that divides different groups according to their wealth and status is called horizontal. cut."

When talking about cross-cutting, a picture automatically appeared in Cao Cao's mind: the top is the emperor, below the emperor are the aristocratic and clan clans, the third floor is the powerful and the poor, the fourth floor is good families and common people, and the third floor is the noble family. The fifth floor is for tenants and slaves.

There are layers of oppression, with the emperor at the top oppressing the people of the world.

A simple crosscut compares the emperor from the master of the world to the slave master of the whole world. It is too cold-blooded and too naked. This kind of metaphor makes Cao Cao very disliked.

Because, any normal person, after seeing this picture, will feel that the rule of aristocratic families, tyrants, clans, and emperors is based on oppressing the people of the world.

There are things you can do, but you can't say!

Superficial justice, superficial justice must be maintained!
The most typical example is Confucianism. Everyone knows that once Confucian scholar-officials become officials, nine out of ten are corrupt officials, villains and garbage.

But there are a few corrupt officials who are willing to say openly that I study for money, for lust, and for being a master?

Even if the common people all over the world know, even if the scholars all over the world know that once a scholar becomes an official, nine out of ten are corrupt officials, but who is willing to openly admit that he is a corrupt official?

nobody!
And this picture is directly tearing the face off!

"At the end, I also mentioned that if the ruling method is divided according to geographical factors, it is called vertical cutting, such as provoking conflicts between different regions, so that the Nanyang gentry will be the superior, and the Runan Yingchuan literati will be the second. Wait for others, and suppress scholars from other regions."

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Are there conflicts between regions?

It has always existed!
To be precise, since the first emperor created the centralization and unification system, the contradictions between regions have never stopped.

It's just that the centralization of power has always been the case before, and then the central government suppressed the localities, and the localities rebelled against the central government, and then the two sides kept fighting. This is the big trend in the world over the past few hundred years.

And Wolong, this guy, actually proposed the vertical cutting method of the central government joining forces with some localities to suppress other localities collectively.

At that time, the central government and certain regions will join forces to suppress other places, and jointly squeeze the aristocratic families, powerful, good families, and common people in other places.

And with Cao Cao's political wisdom, he quickly figured out other ways to use vertical cutting: today we can use geographical division to cut, then tomorrow we can use different races to cut, and the day after tomorrow we can even use age to cut.

After a long while, Cao Cao murmured: "Whether it is vertical cutting or horizontal cutting, it is a real stroke of genius. In essence, it is to win over some and suppress some. Although this sentence is very simple and straightforward, it is full of political meaning. the truth."

This is a sentence that is true, and thousands of books that are false!

On the other hand, Guan Yu heaved a long sigh. Good people should not get involved in politics. Once a person has a relationship with this thing, it is difficult to continue to be a purely good person.

As for Zhang Fei, he now only feels that people's hearts are like ghosts. He is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts, but has begun to be afraid of people, especially this guy named Wolong. Cold sweat drenched.

"His grandma, this guy is not a good person!" After a while, Zhang Fei said directly.

"And then? Three visits to the thatched cottage, is it the third time Crouching Dragon has come out of the mountain?" Guan Yu continued to ask.

Cao Cao raised his head, looked at the fourth wave falling in the sky, and sighed, "I haven't come out of the mountain yet."

"Li Ru said that Wolong was originally a student of the imperial court. Before His Majesty passed away, he predicted the chaos in the world and the future of the princes' melee. He built a thatched hut in Wolonggang, Daqingshan, outside Luoyang City, and married there. Live in a hut."

"I don't know if he can be found in Wollongong now. Take action quickly to see if this Wolong is really as talented as Li Ru said."

"However, Wolong's real name has not been mentioned in the fourth chapter. The plot progressed to Dong Zhuo's third trip to Wollongong, and then it stopped abruptly. The above said that he wanted to know what happened next, and let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

"After they met, they didn't say anything?"

"No, let's talk about it. After the meeting, this Wolong can be said to be outspoken. He made an argument directly from the perspective of land transfer, taxpayer population, and court finances. He said that the court is bound to collapse, no matter who comes to power."

Wolong said that in order to maintain the operation of the Han Dynasty, it is necessary to support a large number of bureaucratic systems and maintain a considerable number of central troops with acceptable combat effectiveness.

Feeding a huge bureaucracy requires money, a lot of money.It also takes a lot of money to maintain an elite central army with as few as tens of thousands.

However, in the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families did not have to pay taxes, and the powerful and powerful paid a little tax symbolically. However, a large number of people lost their land and personal freedom in the past rounds of land annexation. Being able to be a tenant for a powerful family will naturally not be on the account books.

At its peak, the Han Dynasty could collect taxes from 4000 million people. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it could only collect taxes from 2000 million people. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it could only collect taxes from 1000 million people.

The tax revenue has been significantly reduced, and the assets of the imperial court have been further embezzled by powerful families, and more and more money and food are needed to maintain the order of the imperial court. No matter who is in power, he has to face this situation.

And this situation is unsolvable for the current world elite.

"After analyzing these things, Wolong said, so when His Majesty was on the brink of danger, he left Luoyang City early and lived in a hut outside the city, because in his opinion, the Han Dynasty is hopeless."

No matter who comes to power, they have to face financial bankruptcy, no one pays taxes, and the powerful family continues to suck blood on the court.

If you attack the powerful family, they will turn against you, and then the whole world will turn against you, and there will be wars everywhere.If you don't attack them, that is slow death.

"unless……"

"Unless what?" Guan Yu asked hastily.As for Zhang Fei, he stared straight at Cao Cao with his eyes staring like copper bells.

They were all curious, since in Wolong's eyes, the Han Dynasty would perish no matter what, how could he save the Han Dynasty under such circumstances?

"Unless the emperor has great courage, with the Central Army as the core, with the momentum to flatten the world, with the courage to break all bottles and cans, with Luoyang as the core, to rebel against the aristocratic family."

"Wolong said that since the world is already rotten, no amount of improvement can save the world, so it is better to break everything up again. Since the future is destined to be a chaotic world of feudal feudal lords, then the emperor only needs to change his mind, gather the world and still be loyal to the great People from the Han Dynasty, then the Son of Heaven is the well-deserved number one prince in the world today!"

"Then, as the number one vassal, adopt an appropriate strategy to push the world flat. At the same time, in the process of pushing the world flat, wipe out the powerful families of the world, crush everything with strong troops, suppress everything with violence, and then take the land Redistribute it to the people who lost their land, establish a new order again, and then Sanxing Dahan!"

　Who do you think Wolong is?
