The word "surrender" with the word "and" in front of it is really awkward no matter how it sounds, but for the Jurchen tribes, they actually don't have as much moral burden as the Han people.
Wasn't it just a beating from Daming? What a big deal! Regardless of Jianzhou, Haixi or the barbarians, who among the Jurchen tribes has not been beaten by the Ming Dynasty? You can't beat him anyway, so what's wrong with surrendering? If you don't surrender, do you plan to follow the example of Wang Wutang, Wang Tai, and Ah Hai who were directly defeated and never be able to stand up again?
Surrender is not a problem, the question is whether Ming is willing to accept it.
But now, it is obvious that Zhu Yijun is not happy.
This is easy to understand. Originally this war was a punishment war, but now not only the purpose of punishment has not been achieved, but Li Chengliang was even tricked by Nurhaci, and the identities of the punisher and the punished were exchanged. In this Under such circumstances, Nurhachi wanted to give up as soon as possible, but Zhu Yijun certainly refused.
Seeing Gao Pingshi nodded slightly, confirming the doubts he raised, Zhu Yijun snorted coldly at that time: "He wants to learn from Zhang Xiu, but I have no intention of learning from Cao Cao."
Gao pragmatic pondered and did not answer immediately.
When Zhu Yijun saw it, he couldn't help but frown, and asked with some doubts: "Why, do you think I should accept Nurhaci's surrender like Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu?"
Gao Jingshi shook his head slightly and said: "Otherwise, the emperor and Cao Cao were in different situations. Cao Cao could almost say that he had to accept Zhang Xiu, but the emperor did not necessarily have to accept Nurhachi, at least not now."
"Oh? Why is this?" Zhu Yijun became a little curious: "After the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu had a great feud - the hatred of killing their sons. He could accept Zhang Xiu, but why did I Don’t you have to accept Nurhaci?”
Gao pragmatically said: "Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao because Jia Xu knew that personal enmity was nothing in Cao Cao's eyes; Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu just as Jia Xu expected."
In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led an army to attack Zhang Xiu who occupied Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu led his tribe to surrender to Cao. Cao Cao hosted a banquet and invited Zhang Xiu and others to attend. But the process of entertaining Zhang Xiu was not easy, because General Dian Wei always stood behind Cao Cao holding a big axe, and would "raise the ax and stare" from time to time. Therefore, Zhang Xiu was already very unhappy at the banquet table, and he did not dare to speak directly. Look at Cao Cao.
What made Zhang Xiu even more incredible later was that Cao Cao fell in love with his aunt Mrs. Zou at first sight (and soon found a way to take her as a concubine), and Cao Cao used gold and other valuables to win over Zhang Xiu's confidant Hu Che'er. All of this made Zhang Xiu's heart feel as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors - humiliation, anger, suspicion, etc., were stirring in Zhang Xiu's heart like waves.
Cao Cao was a sensible person, and he also knew that Zhang Xiu was dissatisfied, so it didn't take long for him to murder Zhang Xiu. But the news soon leaked, or was noticed by Jia Xu, so Zhang Xiu decided to take the first step - to raise troops to rebel against Cao Cao.
There is no need to go into details about the process. In short, Zhang Xiu made a surprise attack on Cao Ying. Cao Cao's beloved general Dian Wei died in battle. Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin also died tragically under Zhang Xiu's butcher knife. It was they who protected Cao Cao from this attack. A disaster.
In this battle, Cao Cao's military losses were limited, but the losses of important figures were very heavy. He lost a loyal and brave general, his beloved son, his beloved nephew, and even his wife, Mrs. Wei, parted ways with him. It stands to reason that Cao Cao should be full of resentment at this time.
So, why did Cao Cao not get angry and raise an army, but insisted on killing Zhang Xiu to satisfy his hatred? You can sort out the situation over time.
After the Battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu formed an alliance with Liu Biao again. However, counselor Jia Xu stated the pros and cons and made positive suggestions. In the fourth year of Jian'an, he urged Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao again.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, this time point is very important, because it was in this year that Yuan Shao's Hebei army began to move south. The confrontation and even life and death battle between Cao and Yuan's armies are imminent. Since the location of the Zhangxiu garrison was quite important, both Cao and Yuan wanted to win over him.
Zhang Xiu is caught in the middle, what should he do? Jia Xu suggested that he should follow Cao Cao.
Upon hearing Jia Xu's suggestion, Zhang Xiu was immediately stunned. He asked Jia Xu: In the current situation, firstly, Yuan is strong and Cao Cao is weak; secondly, Cao Cao and I have always had a grudge, and even have a deep hatred. So, how can I join Cao Cao at this time?
However, Jia Xu didn't see it that way. He told Zhang Xiu three points: Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes. Following him can win people's hearts. This is the first reason. Yuan Shao has a strong army and strong horses, and he doesn't care about our few men and horses. Even if we surrender to Yuan, it will be insignificant. However, Cao Cao's manpower is weak, and he will be very happy if we surrender to him. This is the second reason. All those who have achieved great things in the past and present have been able to set their sights on the world, alleviate personal grudges, and put aside profit and justice. Cao Cao is such a person. This is the third reason.
So Zhang Xiu listened to Jia Xu's advice and surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also used extraordinary magnanimity to resolve the past feud. Not only did he hold on to Zhang Xiu's hand and attend the banquet together, but he also became a family with Zhang Xiu - making his son Cao Jun Married Zhang Xiu's daughter and named Zhang Xiu General Yangwu.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu participated in the Battle of Guandu, fought with great merit, and was promoted to General Po Qiang. In the 10th year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu followed Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Tan in Nanpi, and once again increased the number of settlements, totaling 2,000 households. At that time, the household registration in the country dropped sharply, with only one household in ten, and at that time, no one among the generals of Cao's army had enfeoffed the settlement. Reaching 1,000 households, Zhangxiu alone has the largest number.
Gao pragmatic briefly explained these details to Zhu Yijun, and then said: "It can be seen that Cao Cao's situation at that time was different from that of the emperor now. Cao Cao needed to unite all the forces that could be united to fight against Yuan Shao's army that was close at hand, and for Considering his strength at the time, being able to turn enemies into friends with Zhang Xiu was the best solution to Wancheng's problem.
On the other hand, the emperor is a hundred times more powerful than Nurhaci. Even in the decisive battle of Chahar, my Ming Dynasty does not need Nurhaci's help. Therefore, the emperor's requirements for Nurhachi are actually very low - as long as he does not cause trouble. "
Zhu Yijun said with relief: "Yes, that's the case. It's just that Nurhaci is so bold and always wants to expand his power in the surrounding areas. If he doesn't curb it earlier, it may become a big trouble in the future. This is why I wanted to do it before. The reason why I gave him a beating – I still think so.”
"The Emperor is wise." Gao Pragmatic nodded and said: "I also agree with the Emperor's view, and therefore believe that since this battle has begun, it must end in victory - not the kind of victory that Nurhachi takes advantage of to ask for surrender, but the real victory of the general. Crash landing victory after he defeated and weakened it.”
"Okay! Very good!" Zhu Yijun was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Since you and I agree, the things to be discussed now will be much simpler. In my opinion, there is only one thing: how to fight next."
Gao pragmatic shook his head slightly and said: "This is not the case. Before that, I think there is one more thing to figure out: why Nurhaci dared to imitate Zhang Xiu."
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Gao pragmatic explained: "Your Majesty should know that except for the short period of time when he just took office, I have always suppressed Nurhaci. At the same time, Ning Yuanbo mainly supported him, and he I have an old relationship with Uncle Ning Yuan...So, why would Nurhaci treat Uncle Ning Yuan so cruelly?"
It seems that Zhu Yijun didn't pay much attention to such details before, or he never really paid attention to trivial chieftains like Nurhachi, so he paid less attention and didn't think deeply, so after hearing Gao Pragmatic After asking this question, he thought seriously for a while and then said hesitantly: "Not to mention, this matter does reveal some weirdness."
