Cao Cao was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked into the distance. King Chu Ping broke his promise to marry a Qin girl and died. He was humiliated by being whipped to death. This was what he had done for himself. As a result, Qin's reinforcements pecked and drank. That's it.

, if King Ping of Chu had known this, what would he have done?

The prince Jian lived in the state of Zheng and treated him well. Cao Cao continued: The state of Zheng is located between Jin and Chu.

Just by the way

As for Bai Gong's victory over Cao Cao, he said with some emotion, "If you say that you are brave, you can fight in battle and defeat Wu Yu Shen, and you will also be in trouble with Ying. If you say that he is trustworthy, guard the border, speak out his wishes, and he will do what he says. Haha, can it be said that he is brave and trustworthy?"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh and remained silent for a while. After a while, he turned to look at Cao Pi and Cao Zhi and said, "Okay, go back and rest early."

Cao Pi took a breath, nodded quickly, bowed his head and saluted with Cao Zhi, and prepared to leave. Just when Cao Pi was about to leave the festival, he suddenly heard Cao Cao say again: By the way, I heard that you have many unfulfilled intentions, Pi'er.

You might as well take a closer look at this matter in the next two days and write a policy statement.

Cao Pi swallowed his saliva and the boy took the order.

The footsteps of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi gradually disappeared in the corridor.

Cao Cao was silent for a while, then sighed softly again.

Previously, Cao Cao used the Bai Gong Rebellion to evaluate Cao Pi and Cao Zhi because Cao Cao truly felt that the current situation was like history repeating itself.

Were there many palace rebellions during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

And in these times of rebellion, who benefits?

It benefits no one.

There is a saying that when gods fight, people suffer, and in the end the gods themselves also suffer. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they will fight as they please until blood and flesh are scattered everywhere. Then what? The victor just put down the blood-stained knife and turned around to sit on the throne.

Next, the next Avengers will be ushered in soon.

Who can represent justice?

No one.

Can only good people possess benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust?

Careers and conspirators can also have these characteristics.

For example, Shi Qi, who would rather die than reveal the whereabouts of his master's body, can be considered honest and brave, right? But he was one of the culprits of the Bai Gong Rebellion.

Similarly, Bai Gongsheng can be regarded as frank and sincere. He speaks outright about what he wants to do. Couldn't it be said that his words and deeds are consistent?

What exactly are these qualities that are often praised by people, such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, integrity, courage, etc.?

Having these qualities is one thing, but doing something with them is another.

Therefore, when standing on the outside, it is like watching a spectacle. These battles for power and interests are like dramas. They are staged and ended. Pointing, criticizing, and arguing are actually insignificant.

But if you are in the middle of the game

Just like now.

Xun Yu couldn't let go of the children of the Yingchuan gentry, just like King Chu Ping couldn't let go of Qin's daughter, just like Prince Jian couldn't bear humiliation, just like Bai Gongsheng couldn't forget revenge.

In turn, the same goes for Cao Cao.

It was great when I was young, there were so few burdens on me then.

As we get older, our burdens become heavier and our courage becomes less and less.

No one will give up easily. It is easy to say it, but it is difficult to do it. If King Ping of Chu can measure up to Prince Jian, if Prince Jian can measure up to Zheng Guo, and if Duke Bai Sheng can measure up to Yin Zixi, when the time comes, who can

Who will measure up?

It's just like

When Cao Cao was young, when he watched Zuo Zhuan, he saw the heroic characters in it, who loved and hated each other. He wished he could replace them with his own body, roaming the battlefield and dominating the situation. When he read Zuo Zhuan after experiencing some setbacks, he saw the intrigues and intrigues in it.

, the insidious plot, I suddenly realized it. I held the book and read it carefully, pondering it carefully, hoping to learn more cunning and strategizing from it.

But now, Cao Cao looked back and thought about Zuo Zhuan, and seemed to have a new understanding, but this realization made him feel distressed, tired, and sad.

General Qi

A guard reported softly in the hall that the military advisor came to offer wine and dare to ask the general

Cao Cao came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and called!

A moment later, Guo Jia arrived under the festival hall and saw that Cao Cao was still wearing his daytime court clothes and had not changed into casual clothes. His heart sank.

Hahahaha. Cao Cao laughed, walked forward, took Guo Jia's hand, and walked into the festival hall together. He asked Guo Jia to sit down. If you know that you are here to honor your filial piety, you should prepare some wine and food! But it's getting dark now.

It's late, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I'll leave it to the next day! Come, please bring some hot drinks, and let's ward off the cold with Fengxiao!

Boss Cao looked like he didn't have the slightest worry in his eyes. He was smiling and reading some idle books in the hall. If he hadn't come here as a courtesy, he wouldn't have known it was already night!

Guo Jia lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "I am stupid and I failed to take care of my lord's worries. I am really ashamed. I suddenly thought of a plan and forgot that it was late. I rashly asked for a meeting and disturbed my lord's pleasure. What a shame."

Hahaha, what kind of elegance is this? It’s just a leisurely pastime. Cao Cao waved his hand and said, “I don’t know if I’m going to be a filial piety. Well, drink this cup first, and then I won’t be too late. Come here, please!”

Wait until the servant retreats.

Cao Cao waited for a while, then asked Guo Jia again as if he was careless.

Guo Jia lowered his voice slightly and said, "My lord, I heard that Lu Bu was the first to regain the Western Regions. He took the lead and fought in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms."

Cao Cao hummed and moved his eyebrows slightly.

I also heard that the rebellion of the Western Qiang was caused by Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Taishi Ci and Taishi Ziyi. Guo Jia continued to say, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Cao Cao took a breath, looked at Guo Jia and said: Filial piety means

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: If you have merit, you should be rewarded. Of course, the hussar has merit, but Lu Fengxian conquered thousands of miles and reopened the Western Regions, so he should also be granted a title! He can be named a general of chariots and cavalry, with the same rituals as the three divisions, uphold integrity, and open a government office to establish a government.
