Chapter 3619 Chi is missing Hongnong's ambition, Liang is pursuing Jizhou's plan

The summer nights in Heluo are three points more popular than Guanzhong.

I have always been kneeling in the military tent and sorting out my own miscellaneous items.

He heard the sound of soldiers walking and patrolling outside the tent, and his heart was both calm and excited.

It's like sharpening a knife.

The knife is cold, but after being sharpened, it desires hot.

The torch cast his shadow on the tent, swaying and shaking.

He didn't expect that he would return to Heluo so soon.

On the table, there is a map of Heluo spread out.

The place names of Hongnong County have been touched and almost opened.

A few days ago, the cavalry asked him to accompany the army and asked him to assist Zhang Liao in pacifying the Heluo area as soon as possible, especially to cooperate with Zao Zhi's order on farming and restoration in the Hongnong area, which seemed to ring again in his ears.

He subconsciously looked up and looked in the direction of Luoyang.

Yesterday he followed General Fei Qian of the Cavalry to meet Zhang Liao...

Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan.

I never could help but feel a little sad.

He realized that there were always gaps in some things.

Zhang Liao's martial arts were far behind him, and when he saw that the order was restored so quickly in Luoyang City, it also reflected Zhang Liao's ability in people's livelihood and political affairs.

I always look down at the jade pendant around my waist.

The jade-carved Chilong lacks a horn.

In the Han Dynasty, dragons were not unique to the royal family.

Although the dragon pattern was regarded as a symbol of imperial power in the Han Dynasty, in some cases, high-ranking officials and noble families could also use the dragon pattern, but it could not be abused, and is usually subject to strict restrictions and hierarchy.

『Hongnong…』

Always murmuring, fingertips scratching the ink lines on the map.

This is the area he is familiar with.

The logos and lines on the map seem to slowly unfold under the light and shadow...

If the General of the Cavalry could really conquer Shandong, take over the Central Plains, and let the three-colored flags be inserted into every county of the Han Dynasty, then everything before would be unrelated.

Everything can start over.

Always, his original surname was Yang.

He closed his eyes and seemed to see the Hongnong Yang Family Manor shattered and collapsed in the sea of ​​fire, just like Yang Xiu's head falling to the ground, with blood beads and sandstorms falling out.

The pavilion of the Yang family back then was like a sand tower.

It looks like a towering and vast land, but what about it?

As the sea of ​​swords and guns surged, it could not withstand the two or three rounds of erosion, and it collapsed.

Taking the route of civil officials and passing on the classics and books is indeed good at the prosperous times, but in such a chaotic world...

Yang Xiu's path has already gone. Yang Xiu has never thought about going to the path of military generals since he was a child. Although Yang's family also has some military books. Therefore, Yang Xiu's poems, lyrics, songs and essays are extremely strong, but only this martial arts and bloody courage...

In the Yang family, no one was optimistic about him at the beginning. Flying eagles and lackeys fights and causing trouble on weekdays. If it weren't for Yang's name, he would have long known that he would have been knocked to death in the deserted field with a stick.

Now, the extremely smart Yang Xiu is dead, and the originally arrogant Yang family has collapsed.

This may be one of the reasons why Yang Xiu refused his ever-present proposal to escape and died with gale.

Yang Xiu's pride did not allow him to lower his head.

Perhaps Yang Xiu asked Cao Cao to lower his head and plead for mercy, perhaps he could be spared from death.

It's just possible.

After all, with Yang Xiu's intelligence, he must know what Cao Cao wanted, so if he really wanted to be liked by Cao Cao, Yang Xiu could transform himself from a killing chicken to a surrendered horse bone.

However, Yang Xiu knew that he had no way out.

Yang Xiu's intelligence lies in his insight into people's hearts. He knew that Cao Cao's murderous intention was not a momentary impulse, but a result of careful consideration. In addition, Yang Xiu was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, and his family was an important official of the Han Dynasty for generations. His reputation as the three ministers of the four generations was embedded in Yang Xiu's bones.

The Yang family did not choose to surrender to Cao Cao or Fei Qian, so everything might have been doomed.

From another aspect, Yang Xiu no longer has any bargaining chips to exchange...

Although Yang Xiu was extremely talented, he had no military power or family power support. And only when Yang Xiu died could Yang's family be reborn in his previous body and be reborn from the fire.

There was a sound of a clapper in the distance, and I always picked up the curtains of the tent and walked out.

In the night sky, the stars are shining.

This time, I will return to Hongnong with the wounded soldiers from the front line, and become Zhang Liao and Zao Zhi's deputy, assisting in adjusting various affairs in the Heluo and Hongnong area.

He is both a military general and a civil servant.

He suddenly remembered the comments he heard in the wounded barracks last night. A veteran with his right arm was laughing and showing off his merits this time. Then he was fiercely discussing with other wounded soldiers how to maximize their merits. In the future, he would be planning to stay in Guanzhong or replace it with some remote areas.

Before the Cavalry, most of the injured barracks mean death between three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. Illness and sadness are always the main tone of the injured barracks. How could it be like the current one? Even if the wounds still fail to heal and there are still thrills from time to time, they still cannot change the smiles on the faces of these wounded soldiers.

This may be the magic of the cavalry.

This world...

The cavalry asked him if he wanted to restore the surname of Yang.

From the beginning, I did have such an idea.

His original surname was Yang, so if one day he could really return home in glory, he would laugh three times on the former site of Hongnong Yang Family Manor. Although he didn't say it, he would still think in his heart, "How is it?" The guy who was said to be a loser, incompetent, and only idle and stealing guys, has now become a person who rebuilds the Yang Family? What do you say now?"

But after that, I was always a little shaken.

Is it meaningful to restore Yang's name?

After all, the Yang family of Hongnong, Yang Xiu's Yang family are different from the Yang family of ever.

If Yang's surname is restored, what does it mean by him?

The discussions of the soldiers in the wounded barracks seemed to be buzzing in their ears.

Perhaps the Yang family is not that important.

Because all those have passed, and what needs to be paid more attention to now is the future.

Just like the lost limbs and arms of those wounded soldiers, they have been lost forever, but they are still full of hope and are smiling towards the future...

Thinking of this, he always felt a kind of destiny relief.

Before we knew it, the dawn light came from the sky.

The broken jade pendant shines with a warm blue dizzy in the morning light.

The handle of the Beidou bucket is stretched in the air, as if it has always pointed out the direction.

...

...

Some people found their direction, while others lost their goal.

After a raid, Zhu Ling was injured, and Jiang Jie did not continue to attack Heishi Pass, but instead gave Cao's soldiers at Heishi Pass a rare chance to breathe.

The Cao army repelled Zhu Ling's night attack, but it did not mean that Cao Zhang was at no cost.

Cao Zhang originally wanted to keep Zhu Ling's head, but unfortunately, he was even injured in the end and could not keep Zhu Ling.

After walking around life and death, Cao Zhang is now a little rougher than in the Tongguan camp.

He only had a simple bandage of the injuries on his back, and did not stay in the inner gate for a long time, but soon returned to the wall.

The day and night of dispatching troops, rotation, ambushing, slashing, and wounded and bleeding made Cao Zhang look very poor now and have no elegant appearance. However, he unexpectedly became harmonious with the surrounding soldiers. Even the second newly deployed Cao army soldiers would subconsciously salute when passing by Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang would also nod and respond slightly.

He had originally complained about why his father sent him to the front line and had to face the danger, but now he understood a little...

In fact, the most suitable heir to the Cao family is not Cao Pi, but Cao Ang.

Because at the beginning, Cao Cao's family business was not as big as that, Cao Ang followed Cao Cao, whether it was his literary and military strategy, or his counselors or military generals, and even because he was influenced by his childhood, Cao Ang made good progress in both civil and military aspects, but it was a pity...

The subsequent Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and others did not know whether Cao Cao was intentional or unintentional, so they seemed to start dividing directions.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi followed the route of civil servants of the gentry, and there were some division of labor in details. For example, Cao Pi was closer to the big clan and the big surname, while Cao Zhi was more in line with the niche in the wild. Of course, this may be just a coincidence. However, based on the development needs of the Cao Wei regime in history and the personality characteristics of Cao Cao's philosophers, it can be inferred that this differentiated cultivation direction may be a method of training for the heirs that Cao Cao learned from his mistakes after Cao Ang's death.

After all, if a civil and military versatile talent like Cao Ang collapses, the loss is really...

Cao Pi showed sensitivity to literary talent and politics since childhood, was good at poetry and prose, and gradually accumulated experience in handling government affairs as Cao Cao participated in civil affairs. Therefore, Cao Cao's positioning of Cao Pi in the later wars was to "supervise the country", which was to assist Cao Cao in handling civil affairs and miscellaneous matters. For Cao Zhang, it was also possible that Cao Zhang himself "likes to be a general", so Cao Cao took it naturally and trained himself to become a military general.

Of course, Cao Cao still had some opinions about Cao Zhang's unwillingness to study. He once criticized "Not studying and admiring the holy path, but preferring to fencing on a horse. What's the price of a man?"...

In history, Cao Cao needed talents with both civil and military skills during his entrepreneurial period, but after the initial stability of the regime, especially after the Battle of Chibi, the focus gradually shifted to internal governance and power transfer. At this time, the heirs not only needed military capabilities, but also needed to balance the aristocratic families and consolidate the political skills of centralization. Cao Pi's long-term cooperation with the Yingchuan gentry was obviously more in line with this need.
