Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

When Yu Yue said this, he was still upset. He looked at Tao Yuanming and said coldly: "Mr. Tao, I can't accept the tone of your words just now. You make it seem like you are Liu Yu and you are teaching me a lesson." , don’t forget, you and I are both from aristocratic families and noble families, why should we speak from the perspective of these villains and inferior people?”

Tao Yuanming frowned: "Yu Gong, because now these villains and lower-class people you mentioned are in power. The aristocratic families and noble families have been out of power for a long time. The so-called people under the roof have to bow their heads. They still want to maintain the past." Powerful people, just like the Wang family in Taiyuan, Liu Yu and other villains also took advantage of the situation and climbed up step by step in the process of seizing power. If we want to regain the lost power, we can only endure it temporarily. If we still want to If I hold a high position like before and can command and control these soldiers and Qiu Ba, then I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep our family, let alone seizing power. Does Yu Gong agree with this?"

Yu Yue gave a loud "hum": "Of course I know this truth, but I just feel uncomfortable listening to these words. I just have to tolerate Liu Yu and Liu Yi. After all, they now have heavy troops and control the government, but you You want me to bow my head to these villagers and Hakkas? I, I really can’t bear it!”

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, because a gentleman is magnanimous and magnanimous, and villains are always worried. You, Mr. Yu, are just because you have never taken the initiative to understand villains, and learned from their behavior." Thinking about things from a different perspective, that’s why we encountered the betrayal of these villains. Isn’t this lesson profound? What we have to do now is how to use another group of villains to form an army and regain power. Shouldn’t we? Think about things from their perspective?”

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's think about things from their perspective. As I said before, the Xie family has given enough benefits to people like Liu Laozhi and Sun Wuzhong, and even allowed these Han people to The warriors directly became generals. This benefit was not enough. But what did they get in exchange?"

Tao Yuanming said coldly: "What did you get in exchange? It was just a title of general. After the Northern Expedition, the army dispersed and returned home. Liu Laozhi had the title of general and returned to Guangling to become a rich man, living at home. Maybe this is the life that the children of the aristocratic family want, because for them, when they go home, they can eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy beautiful women and fine wine. They don’t want to stay in the army for a day. Yu Gong, if I say something offensive, I’m afraid even you are the same. Think about it this way. After defeating Linqu, you won’t want to continue to defeat Guanggu and return to Jiankang, right?"

Yu Yue's face turned slightly red: "We have been pampered since childhood, and we are really not used to living in the army. After we have achieved military success, there is no need to continue to stay there and suffer. Is it a bad thing to go home?"

Tao Yuanming sighed: "This is the consequence of not thinking about things from the perspective of a villain, a soldier, or a warrior. You are pampered, but these warriors came from a humble background. For them, practicing martial arts on horseback and practicing in the army are the only things you can do." It is daily life that allows them to enjoy comfortably, but it will make them uncomfortable. During the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei once stayed under Liu Biao to guard the new lands. He fought all his life and rarely had nearly a year of leisure time. As a result, he ended up living in the gentle countryside. After a few months, I found that the fat on my thighs had grown out. I realized that this was not going to work. If I continued like this, I would soon be unable to ride a horse to fight. This is what warriors think. Liu Bei is not a humble servant, but a big man. The emperor's uncle, a world-famous celebrity, has this kind of awareness, why don't we?"

Yu Yue sighed: "Because we, the children of aristocratic families, do not need to fight for fame and fortune with our lives in troubled times like Liu Bei. We are born rich and noble, with fine clothes and fine food. After we become adults, we can often become officials. Those small soldiers, warriors What we can get after working hard all our lives may not be as good as what our children, who are babies, have when they are born. So, do we need to work so hard?"

Having said this, Yu Yue paused: "Furthermore, our disciples have all devoted themselves to talking, discussing mysteries, and entering Taoism. They believe in the cycle of cause and effect, and that good and evil are rewarded. Joining the army and fighting means killing people and arson. There are many evil things." Yes, many people are afraid that there will be bad retribution if they do these things, so if they are not forced to join the army and gain meritorious service, or to keep the wealth in front of them, no one else would want to go to war. Tao Tao Sir, you are a nobleman, so you should be able to understand what I am saying."

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Of course I understand what you said, so our noble family, the aristocratic family, slowly separated from the army, lost control of the army, and finally lost the power of the government. After all, the theory of theory, the cycle of cause and effect are just It’s just talk, but nothing practical. What really gives us, the children of aristocratic families, the life we ​​have today, is not the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but our ancestors who built armies and fought hard, killed and set fire, and made military exploits a hundred years ago.”

Yu Yue's eyes were a little straightened, and he murmured: "Yes, it is the contribution of our ancestors that has brought us to where we are today."

Tao Yuanming's face turned grim: "Even when our ancestors started their business, they didn't consider these things such as good and evil being rewarded, and killing people is guilty. Why later on, the ability to find descendants of Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com was not as good as that of our predecessors. , the credit is not as good as those of the predecessors, but they believe this? To put it bluntly, isn't it just fighting in the army? It is not only painful and tiring, but also life-threatening. If you are not careful, your life will be lost. People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and are greedy. We are afraid of death, so we just find a bunch of reasons for ourselves not to go to the battlefield. We have deceived ourselves for decades, deceived ourselves until the military power fell, and saw that even the political power, and even the land and estates in the future, would be taken away by others. This is us The reason why we can only discuss matters secretly in a place like this today!"

Yu Yue gritted her teeth and raised her brows: "You are right, Mr. Tao, and I agree that only by controlling the army can we regain power. But how can we control the army now? I just imagined what Xie Xuan did to Liu Laozhi back then, I no longer have this power. I am just a general. How can I give my subordinates these military positions and titles? Even if I give them to them, if I continue to let them manage the army, will they eventually seize my army and establish their own business? ?”

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Liu Laozhi, Sun Wuzhong and others finally left the Xie family to stand on their own. The fundamental reason is that although the Xie family was kind to them, they had no way to restrict them. This restriction is not like you think. The family's wives, children, and young children were held hostage in their hands, but the question was whether they could control the sergeants under them so that they could not respond to everything at once. Did they give Liu Laozhi and Sun Wuzhong a way to continue to be promoted, or would they be punished if they disobeyed? They can find someone to replace their abilities!" ()
