Liu Ye nodded slightly. He could understand this mentality. For ordinary generals, following Guan Yu and defeating Guishuang at this time was actually a very good record.
But for generals like Zhang Ren who have come a long way, their appeal is not so much the performance in the eyes of others, but the evaluation in the eyes of others. To protect Liu Zhang's face, the significance of evaluation is far greater than the performance.
"When you go to a difficult battlefield, the pressure is heavier, but the limits you can show are also higher." Jia Xu said rather plainly, "At this level, if you ask for an official title, there is actually not much room for promotion. .”
Similar to the situation of Fazheng, if it were not for self-realization, there would not be many positions left to fight for. Even if you continue to work hard, it would only be a false promotion. After the title reaches the rank of lord, any further promotion will be a real title. It seems that there will be no earth-shaking changes, especially after the enfeoffment is opened. If you want to get anything, you have to rely on yourself.
"So you think the other party will go?" Liu Ye touched his chin and looked at Jia Xu. He could think from Zhang Ren's perspective on this matter, but he couldn't draw an accurate conclusion like Jia Xu's unless It was Liu Ye who opened up his spiritual talent.
It's just that in recent years Liu Ye has been gradually exploring his own abilities. After all, all answers are concluded by integrating information in his brain, so arriving at the correct answer without using his mental talent is also a test of his own abilities. A kind of excavation.
Of course, this kind of behavior means that in the current situation that does not involve important military and government affairs, if something really happens, you have to rely on your spiritual talent to deal with it.
On the other side, Sima Fu had already finished copying the Kou family's battle report, and after the complete tactical and strategic information reported by Zhong Yao arrived, Sima Fu fell into a state of uncertainty.
"Chang Qian, I have something to do and I have to leave first." Sima Fu looked at Xun Yun with a pale face and greeted him. Xun Yun glanced at Sima Fu and nodded, indicating that the other party could leave first. They were in the Political Yuan The position is relatively strange.
"Uncle, what's wrong with that one?" Xun Ji looked at Sima Fu's back strangely and said.
"Everything he has learned before has been impacted. He needs someone to give him an answer." Xun Yun replied calmly. As he spoke, he picked up some processed official documents from the side to organize and study. After all, they Two of them were also caught doing odd jobs.
"What's the impact?" Xun Ji said nonchalantly.
Isn't it just that the conspiracy was cracked by the military nobles in a very shameless way? But recall hundreds of years ago, wasn’t this what military nobles did? In the past, when their ancestors were nobles with fiefdoms and soldiers during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, weren't they always the ones who beat up their enemies like this?
"It's different." Xun Yun shook his head, "This involves our family's academic structure. Our family is the most orthodox Confucianism. We inherited it from Xunzi's lineage, and the knowledge we learned includes how to smooth things over. part of the world.”
Xun Ji nodded. After all, he was from the Legalist lineage. Although it was wrapped in a shell of Confucianism, Legalism itself had a habit of violently destroying disobedient things.
However, this kind of violent destruction will bring a manifestation of the collective will of the ruling class to show its justice. Coupled with the form of Confucian propaganda, this behavior can ensure legitimacy.
Therefore, the descendants of the Xun family are very adaptable to the current environment. For them, it is just a new object to be bulldozed, and there is no need to change anything else. The Xun family even feels better when they bulldoze foreign countries than at home.
"The Sima family is different." Xun Yun shook his head and said, "They follow the mode of internal fighting and learn how to cause chaos, but these are struggles that require a unified dynasty to distribute power from top to bottom. , to grab it, but these are really not used now.”
Xun Ji is also very smart. Even though he is young and does not see the problem comprehensively, Xun Yun explained it to him to this extent. He also understood why Sima Fu always behaved in some ways that he could not understand. The education they both received was different. A big difference.
"Forget it, don't worry about other people's affairs. The old man of the Sima family brought him here just to change this mentality. Looking at it now, it should be successful." Xun Yun shook his head and said.
Chen Xi has been teaching by words and deeds for three months, but the effect is still there. After all, Chen Xi's handling methods are sometimes quite simple and crude, which makes Sima Fu realize the existence of domineering. Coupled with some unreasonable operations, Sima Fu has become a little bit confused. Shaken.
And Kou's behavior was really a big blow to Sima Fu.
In fact, after Sima Fu finished what Chen Xi arranged, he returned to his Sima family's house in Chang'an with a pale face to see his grandfather. This time he had many things he wanted to ask.
"Shuda, you look uneasy, is there something wrong?" Sima Jun is still the same as before. He doesn't hang out with the old guys in Huangge. He stays in his home every day, looking like he's waiting to die. However, when Sima Fu came in, Sima Jun still saw something different.
"Grandpa, does the accumulation of so many generations of our family really make sense in this era?" Sima Fu looked at Sima Jun with some confusion and asked.
"Sit down and talk, did you see something strange?" Sima Jun said with a smile, "It's hard to explain things like meaning. In fact, just looking at you descendants, we old guys are confused. It already feels very meaningful.”
"Changsha Kou, do you have any impression?" Sima Fu asked with slight suspicion.
"Descendants of Weihou." Sima Jun thought for a moment and said. After all, after so many dynasties, the retired player Sima Jun also has memories. The Kou family was also very prosperous back then, but it is a pity that no matter how prosperous it is, it cannot give birth to children. You have to get out of the circle and finish.
The ancestral halls of other people are generally in the shape of a trapezoid or a pyramid. The worse ones are in the shape of vertical bars, and the worse ones are in the shape of an inverted pyramid. The levels decrease step by step. Kou's ancestral hall is only one horizontal bar, and then one line becomes more and more. The thinner vertical strips look like a T shape from a distance.
"Yes, the other party took down the Chola Dynasty." Sima Fu told his grandfather the answer simply and rudely, "There is no special way, and there is nothing that looks like a plan. It is just to rush up and then the three of them will Within a few months, the Dalit-Chula dynasty with a population of over one million was overthrown, and now all the Kush are in Thanjavur city.”
Sima Jun opened his mouth when he heard this. To be honest, in Sima Jun's impression, the Changsha Kou family had withdrawn from the circle for many years. After Kou Rong withdrew from the Central Court, the Kou family had not appeared in the past 40 years. However, if Sima Jun and the other party had not been officials in the same dynasty, and the Kou family was indeed quite prosperous at that time, Sima Jun might not even be able to remember such a low-key family in recent decades.
"I didn't have any plan. I just bought slaves on the spot, borrowed people from other families, and then I brought about 200,000 people and rushed over. There was a chaotic fight in the middle, and I won the final victory. Grandpa, you said Is this the new era?" Sima Fu felt that his life was really in vain. There must be problems with the things and routines he learned.
"This..." The corner of Sima Jun's mouth twitched twice. He was also a general and a marquis. Although he was not a famous general, he understood how difficult it was to command 200,000 miscellaneous fish. Kou's behavior , but it really looks simple, but it’s terrible to do.
"Our family has been planning for so long, and now we are confident that we can carve out an area hundreds of miles away when we take action next. Moreover, the military strength and organizational structure have not been determined by then, but people like Kou..." Sima Fu looked at his grandfather. To be honest, Sima Fu really thought that he had learned in vain.
Machiavellian tactics are useless. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the other side will rush over and directly wipe out you, your family, and your country. There will still be problems that cannot be solved.
The strategy is too slow and the effect is too insignificant. What the other party achieved in three months has not been achieved in five years, and they need to continue to achieve results. In the past three months, Sima Fu was led by Chen Xi. He was a little shaken, but the Kou family's strong medicine almost made Sima Fu turn to the dark side. Machiavellian strategy? It can't solve the problem!
"We took the lead and spent five years. Can we beat the Kou family now with our manpower?" Sima Fu looked at Sima Jun and asked very seriously. Even when he asked, Sima Fu already had the answer in his heart. But he still had to ask.
Sima Jun estimated that a ruthless man could command an army of 200,000 and wipe out a country with a population of one million within three months, especially since the 200,000 army was borrowed from the local area. Kou's reputation A monster?
He also estimated his own body size. It seems that he is quite strong, but it is completely meaningless. He will definitely not be able to defeat him head-on. The brain can solve many problems, but intelligence and wisdom also require basic strength to maintain. Kou's style of play can knock their brains out with one punch, making it impossible for anyone to resist.
"In other words, it took us five years, less than three months as the other party? As for the preparation and development of the Kou family, let's just look at their loan records." Sima Fu looked at Sima Jun and his mind was already boiling. Sima Jun nodded. Nod, he won't deny the facts.
"Twenty times the efficiency difference?" Sima Fu looked collapsed, and Sima Jun nodded.
Sima Fu directly took off his robe and threw the load on the ground, "Change me to a heavier one, and enroll me in the military strategy class of the Imperial College. I will learn such nonsense tactics. The efficiency is so low. I can't do it at all." To solve any problem, I will learn military strategy and tactics."
Sima Jun touched his beard after hearing this. He was not dissatisfied with Sima Fu's performance. In this period, military strategy is the future.
