Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 129 Magic Jin Book Catalog
Faced with Zhang Fei's laughing question, Ma Di was speechless.

Familiar with military books, one can deduce a result almost without thinking about Ma Su's head:
Cut it off!

But what if the one who should be beheaded is himself?

For the first time, Ma Di felt that these two words weighed more than a thousand catties.

Even Zhang Fei's smile became terrifying in Ma Di's eyes.

Seeing that Ma Su finally remained silent, Zhang Fei shook his head bored.

At this time, Ma Di's name was mentioned again in the light curtain.

[The first three Northern Expeditions and the Battle of Shiting in Jiangdong, as well as Cao Wei's own Jiangdong Raiders, are a war of the Three Kingdoms as a whole.

The most critical figure in this war is undoubtedly Ma Su.

From a macro point of view, there is nothing wrong with the prime minister's strategy.

Longyou is the starting point of the Hexi Corridor, with the Alxa Plateau to the north and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the south.

As long as you can cut off the Long Dao, you will indeed surrender to Long You within a month, as You Chu said.

In this way, Ji Han can send troops to harass Guanzhong at any time, and will completely grasp the initiative in the war.

Why is it said that Ma Su "violated the integrity of the Ming Dynasty"?
Because the purpose of sending Ma Di to Jieting was to interfere with Cao Wei's dispatch of troops to Longyou.

Whether it is to hold fast or to harass and block the attack, even if you fight to the last soldier, as long as you can break the dragon, you will be victorious strategically.

But although Ma Di, who was in charge of the army for the first time, didn't say it, he explained that sentence again in his behavior:

Why can't I play the leading role?
The biggest problem for Ma Di is that he wants to concentrate his forces and change from a supporting role to a leading role.

As a result, a mentally retarded operation successfully changed from a supporting role to a buffoon.

He wanted to concentrate his forces to annihilate Cao Wei's reinforcements, but was defeated by Zhang Yun's simple "exhaustion".

Generally speaking, tactics need to serve strategy, but Ma Di's defeat at Jieting was both a strategic failure and a tactical failure, which is unique.

So it's no wonder that Zhang Xi didn't dare to pursue him: after decades of fighting, he has never seen anything like this! 】

Everyone is too lazy to look at Ma Di now.

"If you can break the Long Dao, guard Longxi."

Kong Ming also thought about it:
"To the west, you can take what later generations call the Silk Road, in exchange for endless wealth, which can be used as military resources."

"To the east is the Guanzhong Plain for three hundred miles. Wanton raids can force the Cao bandits to retreat to Tongguan."

"In this way, as long as we can accumulate strength and conquer Tongguan, the world will be settled."

Guan Yu chewed on the words "strategy and tactics" mentioned by the light curtain, and felt more and more that later generations' descriptions of the art of war were to the point.

Liu Bei made his own exclamation:

"It's not just money that touches people's hearts? Those who touch people's hearts also have fame and wealth."

Liu Bei felt numb to the words "protagonist".

If Sun Hou doesn't want to play the leading role, and honestly Chen Bing Jiangbei, then the Qishan Northern Expedition may really be able to cut off the Long Dao.

If Sima Yi and Cao Xiu hadn't been vying to play the leading role, and they had worked together honestly, they might have really wiped out Soochow long ago.

If Ma Di didn't want to play the leading role, and honestly defended the city, then the Jieting would not be lost, and it would be too late for Kong Ming to come back for help.

Everyone sighed a lot for a while, but Ma Su's face became more and more irritable.

[With his own efforts, Ji Han's years of strength were wiped out, and he abandoned the army and fled, so he should be killed.

Has anyone pleaded for Ma Di?Of course there were, but they were all dismissed and punished by the prime minister.

One of them, surnamed Chen, had his hair cut off when he joined the army. This soldier later had a son named Chen Shou.

Chen Shou was a student of Qiao Zhou, the number one surrender faction, and was often despised by Zhuge Zhan, the son of the prime minister, when he was an official.

So later, there was a view that Chen Shou was mixed with personal feelings when he compiled the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Because the Three Kingdoms has a total of 65 volumes, and Shushu has fifteen volumes, accounting for only one-fifth.

Chen Shou's explanation for this is that "the country does not have history, and there are no officials in notes."

There is no official historian who records history in Sichuan. Believe it or not, anyway, I wrote it like this. 】

"This..." Kong Ming felt something was wrong for a moment.

Zhang Fei speaks quickly:

"In this way, we are more than 1000 years away from future generations. Doesn't it mean that what Chen Shou said, future generations can only believe in what?"

"My old Zhang's statue is so ugly, was it written by Chen Shou?"

The fierce tiger's eyes cast on Ma Di again, and Ma Di was heartbroken:

"General Zhang clearly discerns that Su is only a member of the army now."

Fortunately, Guan Yu also remembered:
"Third brother, your ugly face is made by those who advocate excellent opera."

Zhang Fei had no choice but to let go of the matter indignantly, and decided to pass on a few more portraits of himself to future generations.

[Shuzhong does not set up history, which is a relatively complicated topic.

First of all, the historians of the Han Dynasty are not the same as the historians we think of.

In fact, because the ancients were limited by the times, the work of Taishiling in the Han Dynasty was extremely complicated, involving:
Arithmetic, disaster recording, astronomy, calendar, etiquette, assessment, copying and other fields.

On the contrary, Sima Qian is one of the outliers. It is precisely because of the popularity of Shiji that everyone has the illusion that Taishiling is a history editor.

After Sima Qian, the work of compiling history has always been a part-time job.

Emperor Hanming set up an envoy in Lantai, Emperor Zhang set up Dongguan school doctor, and Emperor Xian set up a secretary supervisor.

The responsibilities of these positions are library management and text proofreading, which basically belong to the revision of history books when they have nothing to do.

However, Ji Han inherited the Han system, and did not set up a special historian at the beginning, and it was still a combination of historians and heaven officials.

But with the gradual stabilization of the Three Kingdoms, both Cao and Wu began to revise history one after another.

Cao Rui set up Zhuolang, and for the first time let officials participate in the compilation of history; Sun Quan followed suit, and in his later years specially set up a "historical official Taishi Ling" to compile history.

After the death of the prime minister, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi summed up: It will be difficult to recover the Central Plains in a short period of time. Our Han Dynasty is orthodox, and we also repair it.

As for the name, Ji Han refers to the two Han Dynasties, taking the two positions of the Later Han Dynasty and combining them into one, setting up Dongguan Secretary Lang.

There are also records in Shushu about the people in this position: Quezheng, Chen Shou, Wang Chong, Sima Shengzhi and Xilong.

It can be seen from this that at least in this matter, Chen Shou's statement that "the country does not set history" is not reliable. 】

"So complicated?" Jiang Wan paused after copying his own name.

"But from this point of view, it is necessary to set up a historian." Kong Ming glimpsed another direction from it:
"Later generations are separated by almost 2000 years, and we can only rely on this book to see the past."

"Such an official historian's writing is only a trivial matter. If the official historian distorts the record due to his personal likes and dislikes, wouldn't this person be wiped out in history?"

Jian Yong proposed another possibility:
"If Chibi didn't have the help of Zhou Gongjin, the Cao thief would usurp the Han like this."

"Afterwards, I will follow the example of his grandson, the writer Lang, and forcibly establish the history books."

"Wouldn't we all be wiped out in the annals of history? We might even be recorded as traitors."

This result was so terrible that everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Liu Bei and Kong Ming looked at each other, and immediately reached a consensus:
The priority of compiling history can be moved from the back to the front.

[So one problem is solved, and another problem pops up again:

In the early days when there were no historians in Shushu, the records of important figures were very detailed, such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

But the records of other characters are very brief. For example, Jian Yong’s biography is 276 characters, of which telling jokes to Liu Bei accounted for more than 100 characters, and in the end he didn’t even explain Jian Yong’s ending.

However, with the presence of historians in the later period, the records were even simpler.

For example, Wu Yi, as Liu Bei's uncle, can be regarded as a relative of the state;
Ren Cheqi General, can be regarded as a high-level; and Wei Yan defeated Guo Huai during the Northern Expedition, can be regarded as a famous general.

With the triple status of a high-ranking famous general of the state relatives, he didn't even have a separate biography. 】

Jian Yong shook his head and smiled wryly:
"I was still guessing how Yong died before, but it turned out to be like this."

Mi Zhu comforted:
"At least Xianhe can pass on the name of humor to future generations."

What about Mi Zhu?There was an ending because of the younger brother's "sickness and resentment, and died at the end of the year".

"There is actually a sister-in-law!"

Zhang Fei noticed this at a glance.

Then he looked at Jian Yong: "Does Mr. Jian know my sister-in-law?"

Looking at Liu Bei also with curiosity, Jian Yong nodded and said:

"Wu Yi, the general of Zhonglang, has a younger sister named Wu Cheng, who is well-known."

Just as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu opened their mouths to congratulate their elder brother, they heard Jian Yong whisper:

"Married to Liu Yan's third son, Liu Mao, who died of madness last year."

"Ah, this..." Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked at each other, and Liu Bei's expression became strange.

Zhang Fei thought for a while and congratulated:

"Brother really has the style of a great ancestor!"

Without hesitation, Liu Bei grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at Zhang Fei.

[These strange things in Shushu need to be viewed in relation to the background of the times.

The fall of Ji Han was different from the fall of Soochow. Jiang Wei triggered the Zhonghui Rebellion when Ji Han died.

For this reason, the old man of Ji Han Dynasty was called "a chaotic person who enjoys misfortune" and was moved to Hedong and Henan, where he was either a prisoner or a slave.

When Ji Han was an official, Chen Shou was only happy for three or four years when he was Secretary Lang of Dongguan, and then he offended Huang Hao first, and then was despised by Zhuge Zhan.

Then he became a subjugated person and did hard labor for about seven years. Five years after the death of Wei, the old officials of Ji Han surrendered under the old official title.

When Chen Shou wrote the Book of Shu, the influence of the Zhonghui Rebellion had not been completely eliminated, so he did not show his general understanding of the later Northern Expedition to avoid trouble.

In contrast, Chen Shou's teacher Qiao Zhou wrote "Shu Benji", which was lost.

Wang Chong, who was the secretary of Dongguan together with Chen Shou, wrote Shu Shu, which was also lost.

We now have a saying that "whoever controls the past controls the future".

It's perfect to put it on here. 】

To master the past is to master the future?

The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty tasted this sentence and couldn't help feeling mixed.

They are now compiling the Book of Jin following the customary principle of revising the history of previous dynasties in this dynasty.

But I didn't expect this history book to be so important?

Li Shimin even thought of the "General History of China" in later generations and was a little itchy.

I don't know how the future generations will make a conclusion on themselves?

Li Jing was also curious:
"I don't know how many characters I can account for in the history of Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin laughed:
"If the pharmacist can avenge my shame for destroying the Turks, he will be the first to welcome the Martial Temple and set up a stele to pass it on!"

The anti-British monument before the light curtain gave Li Shimin a new idea:
Why seal the mountains?Chiseling huge stones, erecting Chang'an, boasting meritorious deeds, Fang Xian will be an emperor through the ages!
Fang Xuanling dutifully copied the light curtain, and then heard his own name:

[But if you want to say that the history books are unreliable.

The "Magic Jinshu Catalogue" supervised by Fang Xuanling is on the list! 】

　Today's game was ridiculously busy, but fortunately, I got off work at 3:0.

　　The second is more likely to be later, sorry.

　　This chapter is a bit dry, and the next chapter will try to be more interesting.
