Chapter 598 Cross the river by feeling the stones

"You mean to use this person to implement policies that are still being conceived?"

After making arrangements for Li Bin, Li Shiyi hurried over to ask to see Wang Yu. After returning to life, he explained his thoughts in detail. Faced with Wang Yu's slightly surprised rhetorical question, he calmly replied: "My lord Mingjian,

In my opinion, this is a great opportunity. Don’t you often say that policies cannot be utopian and must be developed and verified in practice?”

"Ha," Wang Yu pointed at Li Shiyi and said with a smile: "You guys, you don't learn from others, but you learn from Kong Ming, and use my words to block my mouth?"

"Ming Gong's words are wrong."

Zhuge Liang's competitive spirit is not weak at all. He would not give up easily even if he was shot while lying down. He retorted before Li Shiyi could speak: "Liang thought what Lieutenant Li said was very reasonable. Anyway, Que Xuan originally wanted peace."

To verify the feasibility of the decree on him, it is a good thing if it succeeds; if it fails, the problem can also be attributed to diplomatic and peace negotiation issues, without causing or aggravating the dissatisfaction or hostility of Xuzhou's powerful powers."

"Well, that makes sense." Wang Yu was amused, but the expression on his face was serious.

Li Shiyi's ideas did not go beyond Wang Yu's expectations. The former had always been by his side, and his way of thinking and acting style were largely influenced by him.

The New Deal was originally set up to prevent Cao Bao and the Chen family from happening again. Que Xuan was also a very representative figure among local powerful people, so it was perfectly reasonable to use him as an experiment.

The reason why he did not issue the order immediately was that he was still not sure whether Que Xuan could understand the current situation, whether he was willing to surrender, and if so, to what extent he would surrender.

It is very important to know oneself and the enemy, whether it is a plan or an attack. Wang Yu's foresight was completely ineffective on Que Xuan. The previous focus of reconnaissance in Xuzhou was not focused on this rich man, so Wang Yu basically had no regard for Que Xuan.

I don’t know anything about it, so I can’t make a decision easily.

Li Shiyi came into contact with the envoy, made a corresponding judgment, and then made this suggestion. It was a logical thing. Is there any surprise?

Wang Yu just doesn't have time to spend more time on this aspect. He wants to find a strong man to top the tank. Judging from the current staffing around him, Zhuge Liang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Pang Tong is still too shy now, and his behavior is not aggressive enough.

Counselor Military Aircraft is quite capable of handling administrative affairs, but this kind of work of dealing with people is somewhat unsuitable.

However, Zhuge Liang likes to fight with him, so he can only follow the old saying: it is better to motivate a general than to dispatch him.

Thinking that he was provoking Zhuge Liang, Wang Yu felt extremely proud. In the book, Zhuge Liang was the only one who provoked others, so how could anyone provoke him?

It will inspire success and give you a full sense of accomplishment.

Zhuge Liang didn't know Wang Yu's bad taste. In fact, he was really interested in this new policy, because it was the first time in Qingzhou's new policy that it was a decree designed for powerful families.

Before this decree, Qingzhou had only one way to deal with powerful people: restrain them!

Although Zhuge Liang partially agrees with what Wang Yu said about the harm of tyranny to the country, whether it is from his own perspective or from the perspective of China's traditions in blood, family, and inheritance, it is not feasible to blindly suppress tyranny.

To take the simplest example, most of the meritorious ministers of the Qingzhou Army came from poor families, and even like Li Xiaowei, they were pure grassroots. But in the future, as their status increases, the emergence of new aristocratic families will simply It is inevitable.

It is not obvious yet in terms of military generals. Except for Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin, the other generals in Qingzhou are not married yet, so there is no sign of it. But on the civil official side, Guoyuan and Wang Xiu have many relatives in Qingzhou. Guojiu, these people are now gathering around the two of them. Guoyuan and Wang Xiu themselves may want to be lonely ministers, but they can't throw their families away, right?

Not to mention the two of them, even Tian Feng, who is known for his uprightness, is not a member of a large family. When Tian Feng left Jizhou and became an official in Qingzhou under a pseudonym, his family was not less worried. , especially when the Hebei War was at its fiercest, Yuan Shao, who learned that Tian Feng was serving in Qingzhou, planned to threaten him with Tian Feng's family more than once.

That is to say, Tian Feng did not participate in military strategy at all, and even if he rebelled, it would not have much effect. For the sake of reputation, Yuan Shao gave up this idea under Ju Shou's persuasion. Otherwise, Tian Feng would have to face a major and difficult decision.

With this incident, Tian Feng naturally felt that he owed a lot to his family, and even he couldn't refuse them all outright if he had relatives asking for them.

Although it is just a sign now and is harmless, it is undeniable that this is how the family was born.

Even if Wang Yu was extremely capable, he would not be able to extinguish all these signs, and it would be even more impossible for him to deny reward for his merits just to prevent a certain subordinate from getting bigger and leading to the emergence of aristocratic families.

This is the case internally, but there are also considerable problems externally. Cao Bao and the Chen family are the epitome of contradictions.

Assuming that Qingzhou has a decree to properly deal with the powerful, it's hard to say for the Chen family, but Cao Bao's counterattack is very likely to be avoided. After all, this person has no ambitions and is not very bold. If he hadn't been forced into a hurry, where would he have come from? Are you brave enough to go against Wang Yu?

Zhuge Liang questioned Wang Yu face to face on these issues more than once, but the latter always smiled and said that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. But after waiting for almost a year, Zhuge Liang did not wait for Wang Yu to show the way, which made him confused. I have been tormented by curiosity for a long time, and I once wondered whether Wang Yu was telling lies and deceiving others.

It was not until the past few days of preparing for war in the East China Sea that Wang Yu finally spoke out and proposed a less mature plan, and the dawn of harmonious coexistence between Qingzhou and the powerful came to light.

Zhuge Liang had not yet thought of using Que Xuan as an experiment on what he had learned and selling it. After Li Shiyi mentioned it and Wang Yu provoked him, he started thinking actively, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more ideas sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. , I was a little impatient for a while.

"In that case, why not meet this Li Sima first?"

"Let's see you then, Eleven..." Wang Yu waved his hand generously and was about to give the order when he caught sight of the open jaws and doubtful looks on Pang Tong's faces from the corner of his eye.

His hand stopped in mid-air, Wang Yu turned to the two of them and asked, "Jun Yi, Shi Yuan, is there anything wrong?"

"Don't dare." He opened his jaw and clasped his fists and said, "The general just thinks that it would be too dangerous to test Que Xuan, as he would be suspected of letting the tiger return to the mountain. This man is different from ordinary powerful men. He claims to be the emperor and supports his troops. Thousands, a powerful man with sharp military armor. This man has great ambitions. If we let him go and don't eradicate the roots, I'm afraid it will happen again in the future."

"General Zhang's concerns are reasonable, but not entirely true."

Zhuge Liang was quick to speak and rushed to retort: ​​"Que Xuan acted like this, and Ming Gong was able to open his eyes to the same situation. He was the same as the King of Chu, and Mu Gong drank and stole horses. Our army went south, and there were several powerful men in Xuzhou.

Are you not ready to make a move? Previously, Cao Hong killed Xu Fang for Tao Gong, and he has already established his power. If we want to eliminate the swordsmen, we must combine kindness and power. Is there any more suitable candidate than Que Xuan?"

Zhuge Liang's allusions include one about King Zhuang of Chu and the other about Duke Mu of Qin.

At that time, King Zhuang of Chu held a banquet and asked Ai Ji to serve wine during the banquet. Unexpectedly, the wind blew out the candles. As a result, Ai Ji was molested and the tassel of the offender was torn off. He asked King Zhuang to punish the person. However, King Zhuang ordered everyone to forgive him.

After taking off his helmet and tassel, he generously refused to pursue the case. Later, when King Zhuang attacked Zheng and was in danger, the fierce general Tang Ciao broke into the battle alone and desperately rescued King Zhuang from the siege. After questioning, it turned out that Tang Ciao was the person who touched his beloved concubine.

The allusion of Duke Mu drinking and stealing horses is similar. Duke Mu’s horse was stolen by the villagers in the mountains. The minister suggested that Duke Mu punish him severely as a warning to others. However, Duke Mu laughed it off. Instead of pursuing the matter, he gave the other party wine.

It is said that people who eat good horse meat will be harmed if they don't drink alcohol.

Later, Qin and Jin fought in Hanyuan. The Qin army was unfavorable in the battle, and even Duke Mu himself was injured. At the critical moment, three hundred villagers rushed out and fought to the death in retaliation for eating horses. As a result, Qin

The army turned defeat into victory and captured Jin Jun Yiwu alive.

Zhuge Liang's meaning is very clear. The entire Xuzhou force is resistant to the arrival of the Qingzhou Army. Just relying on strong suppression, even if people give in due to fear, cannot completely eliminate the opponent's hostility. On the contrary, through Que Xuan's

It was in the limelight and attracted wide attention from people to implement the New Deal, giving Xuzhou powerful people a chance to think and make decisions.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Jia's idea is to pursue victory and seize the momentum of victory to sweep the entire Xuzhou in one fell swoop. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, wants to convince people with virtue. After dividing and disintegrating the opponent, he will then severely attack the tough ones, win over the soft ones with gentleness, and solve them with kindness and power.

Riding on the fence.

"This statement is reasonable, and I will respect you." Zhang Jia did not mean to argue, he just expressed his opinion clearly and gave up. According to the current situation, after Xuzhou was captured, he should be the one guarding Xuzhou. At this time, he insisted on marching into the army.

It is inevitable to appear eager for quick success. Zhang Jia is a very measured person, so naturally he would not be so reckless.

He retreated slightly, but Zhuge Liang punched the air. He was greatly depressed. After a slight delay, he turned to his friend: "Brother Shiyuan, do you also think that pursuing victory is a good strategy?"

"That's not true." Pang Tong shook his head and said honestly: "I just feel that this policy is somewhat similar to the late emperor's selling of officials and titles. I am worried that implementing this policy will hinder the lord's reputation."

"This..." Zhuge Liang originally thought that no matter what his friend said, he would refute it in one breath, but Pang Tong's answer greatly exceeded his expectations. When the words came to his mouth, he felt that he had no way to refute.

If you think about it carefully, this policy really seems a bit like selling your official position.

"Shiyuan is very thoughtful, and everyone's considerations are reasonable."

Wang Yu smiled, nodded to Pang Tong first, then turned to everyone and said loudly: "However, what Eleven said is right, it is a test anyway, you can do it as you like, at worst it will be just like Jun Yi worried about,

Raising tigers is a recipe for disaster. When crossing a river by feeling the stones, someone must step in front of you, right? It is immoral to cross the river with the common people, but there is no problem with Quexuan."

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "My hussars are sweeping across the world, who are I afraid of? It's just Quexuan, even if there is a chance to breathe, what will happen again? Eleven, bring the envoy here."

"...obey!"
