If Fang Guang were in the thatched cottage now and heard Zhuge Liang's words, he would probably jump up and use the word "awesome"!
Throughout several generations, Cao Wei had been playing games with the gentry. Sadly, except for Cao Cao's ability to coerce hundreds of powerful clans, Cao Pi had actually embarked on the road of compromise with the gentry.
When Cao Fang and Cao Mao arrived, they became mere dolls in the hands of the Sima and Jia Yi clans.
The monarch's power was completely defeated in front of the wealthy scholars!
Yuan Shao was even worse. He died and Hebei fell apart in an instant.
In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Benchu could not be defeated, but the establishment of a direct line leader could instantly tear apart the powerful forces in the four states.
When Zhuge Liang wants to manage the world, what he wants is the happiness of all the people and the prosperity of the country and the people. It is not that the Zhuge family or the Huang family of Xiangyang should become the largest family in the world.
Such a pattern, such a big heart, and looking too deeply into the game made it difficult for Zhuge Kongming to easily join the chess game.
From this point of view, the only person in the world who actually follows the same path as the jade-faced man in the thatched cottage today is the Sima from Yanzhou.
The rest of the people are somewhat behind these two!
The only difference is that Zhuge Liang chose to tolerate Liu Bei's inaccuracies and was willing to assist. It can even be said to supervise this worldly hero and integrate Kyushu!
Of course, no matter how cunning Zhuge Kongming, who was dormant in Longzhong, was, he could not fully see the darkness hidden by Liu Bei's increasingly skillful acting skills!
Longzhong Thatched Cottage, where Zhuge Liang was destined to become famous throughout the world, finished his words.
In the thatched cottage, no one spoke for a long time.
Xu Shu and Sima Hui both lowered their heads and chewed on their best friend's words.
Feel the strategic location of Wolong.
After a long time, Xu Shu seemed to understand something. He finally drank a glass of wine, knelt on the ground and bowed his head to Zhuge Kongming.
Xu Yuanzhi walked out of the thatched cottage backwards, not daring to stay here any longer for fear of giving up on his intention to go north.
He walked out of the thatched cottage and couldn't help but look up at the sky. His face was instantly covered with water drops. He didn't know whether it was the rain in Jingzhou or the tears of Zhuge Liang who couldn't bear to say goodbye!
Yanzhou, east of Juancheng, Fang Guang would not have known that Kong Ming, who had influenced Jiuzhou for thousands of years, was as eager to control the gentry clan in Jingzhou as he was.
The morale of the entire Cao army camp has never fully recovered since the defeat at Puyang.
Guo Jia was indeed a genius. He saw that Gao Shun would fight like Cao Cao and kept an eye on the Xia San Road grain road.
However, he saw Gao Shun's strategy correctly, but failed to estimate the terrifying combat power of the trapped camp.
The elite Cao army, from Cao Hong to Xia Houyuan, guessed the location of Gao Shun's army twice, and used ten thousand troops to kill thousands of dead soldiers, but they did not take any advantage.
A few days ago, Yu Jin brought his own Taishan Trilogy and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of protecting food supplies. However, there has been no news back for three days.
In front of Cao Jun's camp, Fang Guang, who had fully recovered, swung his arm and threw the halberd he took from Dian Wei. Although he didn't have Dian Wei's strange strength, he just threw several short halberds in succession, but they all pierced the armor-clad soldiers.
The wooden man's eye sockets are bound and connected between the legs and throat.
Fang Guang's halberd throw can be described as a sinister move. While watching, the onlookers clapped their hands and couldn't help but cover their own vital points.
"Datong, it's okay. As the official grows, so does he himself. We didn't have this skill when we were in the Yellow Turbans!"
A maverick man in Cao's camp, who did not wear a helmet but wore a yellow turban, screamed the loudest among the onlookers.
"Guan Hai, when we were in the Yellow Turbans, how could there be a heroic master like General Dian Wei? He ate a vegetarian diet every day, and half the time he had to memorize the Taiping Qingling Dao, learn some thunder methods, wooden soldiers, etc., so his natural martial arts would not be there.
Made progress!"
"By the way, I heard from my lord that the number of beheadings you had under Yuan Rang was at least as bad as Xia Houen's?"
"As a guard captain, Guan Hai must not lose the prestige of our Yellow Turbans!"
In the past few days, Cao Cao was busy recruiting troops in the east of Juancheng to make up for the losses in Puyang.
The so-called recruitment of soldiers actually consisted of Xun Yu accompanying Cao Mengde to meet with the small aristocratic Yanzhou family, promising benefits in exchange for shares.
Although Fang Guang is unparalleled in resourcefulness, he has never done anything like this kind of family transaction or distribution of benefits.
Xun Yu, a member of the Yingchuan noble family, was an expert in this kind of thing. He knew that what happened in Puyang was somewhat embarrassing, so he accompanied Cao Cao to various parts of Yanzhou every day.
Slowly, he regained the favor that was taken away by Fang Guang.
Guan Hai originally had a naive smile on his face, but after hearing Fang Guang's ridicule, his face suddenly turned red.
"Datong, will I be no match for a boy from an aristocratic family like Xia Houen who only knows how to pretend?"
"These soldiers, armor, horses, and weapons were all managed by Duke Xun. What I got is probably several times worse than Xia Houen's!"
"During the Battle of Puyang, both of us were under the command of General Yu Jin. I was called upon to fight in a tough battle. It was all Xia Houen's credit to cut off human flesh with the wind. How can there be any comparison like this!"
"Oh, Datong, you are also a Sima, and I am also a Sima. I think what you say is correct and more effective than what he said. However, there are many things in the army that no one can explain to me!"
Guan Hai complained and Fang Guang's face turned serious.
Since he became a Sima and made great achievements in Puyang, no matter what he does, he seems to be hindered by people in the army.
There is Xun Yu's shadow behind this.
In order to boost morale before Cao Cao's Western Expedition, many captains were given the title of Zhonglang General and Bi General.
Yu Jin was also made a general, and Guan Hai was temporarily transferred from Xiahou Dun to him as a captain.
Yu Jin was a man who was extremely lenient but strict at the same time, and his mind was as narrow as a needle. He was still thinking about the troubles in the village in Cangtingjin, and he "took very good care of" Guan Hai.
Coupled with the farming incident, Fang Guang offended the Qingzhou Army's military commander!
Only then did it become clear that his achievements and reputation were getting bigger and bigger, but he was also being targeted more and more!
Mom, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was still office politics, which is a thousand-year tradition.
Fang Guang muttered in his mouth. Seeing that Guan Hai was still complaining, he put away his halberd and walked up to the big man in the yellow turban.
"Okay, why are you complaining so much just by asking? Brother Guan, it won't always be like this. My lord is short of troops right now. When I find a chance, we can form our own army!"
"Are the Taishan Army and the Qingzhou Army very majestic? I'm afraid they will be nothing but fish in front of Gao Shun!"
Fang Guang patted Guan Hai on the shoulder to express comfort.
Dian Wei also smiled stupidly and stepped forward to hug the yellow scarf warrior tightly.
In Dian Wei's view, he was a member of Datong and should move forward and retreat together when his companions were wronged.
I have to say that Fang Guang's crow's mouth is indeed very clever.
He had just patted Guan Hai on the shoulder when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from outside Cao Ying. The sound of horse hooves was also mixed with a panicked voice.
"Quickly report to my lord that General Yu Jin was ambushed in the mountains of Fan County. Half of the grain and grass were stolen by Gao Shun's bandits, and the other half was burned on the spot!"
"General Yu Jin was hit with an ax on his arm and needs to be treated quickly!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly stopped at the gate of Cao Jun's camp, and several Taishan tribesmen carried Yu Jin, who was covered in blood, and strode towards the tent.
