Three Kingdoms

While Guo Chang was waiting outside the camp, the native Linghu Cong and Linghu Mengyu from Shangdanghu Pass had already gone to see Fei Qian.

Linghu Cong was a native nobleman of Bingzhou and had lived in this area since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although he had not held any important positions such as the three ministers of the imperial court, in Bingzhou, especially in the Shangdang area, The reputation is still very high.

After Linghu Cong saw Fei Qian, the first thing he did was kowtow to Fei Qian to apologize.

"Why is Meng Yu like this?" Fei Qian quickly stepped forward to help him.

Linghu Cong said: "In Huguan, Wen Shijun was undecided and refused Zhonglang outside the pass. This is Cong's crime..."

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Wen Shijun has concerns. It's human nature. What does it have to do with Meng Yu? Please sit down."

After Linghu Cong sat down, he again handed over his hands to apologize, smiled bitterly, and said: "Wen Shijun is old, hesitant to look forward and backward, and he listens to slanders... Alas!" This matter also made Hu Cong very embarrassed, so he invited Fei Qian to the front. Coming over, Wen Hao felt that Fei Qian was too powerful and felt a little uneasy.

Fei Qian nodded and understood.

Wen Hao had probably planned for Fei Qian and Zhang Yang to fight under the Hu Pass and lose both sides, and then Wen Hao himself sat on the Hu Pass and watched the tiger fight, but now it turns out that Zhang Yang is actually a paper tiger, which can be broken with just one poke. Already...

How could Wen Hao, whose military strength was originally inferior to Zhang Yang's, dare to let Fei sneak into the pass easily?

Fei Qian pondered for a while and said, "Meng Yu, what do you think of Guan Nei?"

A large number of troops have come here. Is it just for Wen Hao's little labor supplies above Huguan and then go back home?

Fei Qian's meaning is also very clear. Wen Hao is hesitant now, so how do the people in Huguan choose?

In other words, which side do you choose to stand on?

Being on the wrong team, or being on the right team but threatening the boss, is destined to be a sad story.

Bingzhou was once an extremely powerful state and county. From the Qin Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty, Bingzhou once had nearly 100,000 soldiers. There were six horse breeding places in the world, three of which were in Bingzhou, and even the famous "Tianfengyuan" The land of horses. There are also arsenals, salt ponds, a large population, and countless generals. However, such a once-dominated area has declined terribly in a hundred or two hundred years.

There are two most important reasons for the decline of Bingzhou. First, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Bingzhou was too powerful. "The ancestors ruled the world with their troops and cavalry." During the process of Guangwu's resurgence, Bingzhou's military power was extremely powerful. At that time, there was a man named Wang in Hebei who was said to have many generals and strong strength. Liu Xiu led his troops to fight against him. He could not attack for a long time and the progress was slow. Kou Xun and Peng Chongtu of Bingzhou "each attacked with two thousand horsemen and one thousand infantry." , surrendered to Liu Xiu and attacked him, and then suffered a great defeat.

Liu Xiu praised him and said: "I have heard that Tuqi has the best soldiers in the world, and now that I have seen him fighting, I am convinced."

However, the problem lies in that it is too powerful.

Liu Xiu led the soldiers from Jizhou, Hebei, and fought for a month without winning. However, the people from Bingzhou came and won the battle with just two clicks. How many meanings does this...have?

Later, after Liu Xiu pacified the Han Dynasty, in order to recuperate and recuperate, he began to implement the strategy of "relaxing and cultivating civil affairs." Emperor Guangwu hosted a banquet for these heroes and princes and asked them how they would have achieved fame and fortune if they had not had such an encounter.

Deng Yu said that he was diligent and studious, and he could get a doctorate in literature from the county by doing so. Emperor Guangwu said that with your talent, there is no problem in becoming a meritorious official in a county...

Ma Wu said that his bravery could at least serve as a lieutenant governor. Emperor Guangwu smiled and said, just be the pavilion chief...

Although the official rank of an ordinary meritorious officer is only a hundred stones, this official position is actually equivalent to the organizational minister in later generations. Although it may not have the prestigious position of director or director, it has very important real power, and a pavilion chief is related to later generations. The police officers on duty in the police room set up in the community are more or less commonly known as field police officers.

Such a high and a low evaluation almost destined Bingzhou's status to gradually decline.

But this alone does not mean that there is no salvation. As long as we follow Liu Xiu's policy of emphasizing literature, grasp the central idea, and revise the literature well, won't it be enough?

Unfortunately, however, it was Bingzhou's second factor that ultimately led to its ultimate decline.

The culture in Bingzhou is completely different from that in Jizhou, Hebei and Runan, Yuzhou...

Because this area has been in contact with the Hu people since ancient times, many places can be used for grazing and farming, so many disputes inevitably arise. What's more, this area itself is the location of the Three Jin Dynasties, so it naturally inherits the culture of the Three Jin Dynasties and is used by the Three Jin Dynasties. The influenced Qin culture, from "Tong Ye Feng Di" to "Xia Zheng Rong Suo", naturally formed a cultural system in Bingzhou that integrated military strategists and Legalists.

Li Kui's reform in the Wei state during the Warring States Period of Legalism can be regarded as the earliest pioneer of Legalism and the precursor of Shang Yang's reform. Han Feizi was also a master of Legalism.

Not to mention the military strategists. In Bingzhou, as early as the Warring States Period, Zhao State promoted horseback shooting in Hu uniforms, completely sending the military chariot thing into the garbage heap of history.

Therefore, the land of Bingzhou became the soil for military strategists and legalists. It is precisely because of this that the Qin State did not suffer huge setbacks when it burned books and harassed Confucians. Naturally, when the northwest wind changed to the southeast wind, it was already blowing in the wind. It became a natural phenomenon that the Confucianists, who had controlled a certain position in the court, began to suppress the Legalists and military strategists...

Fei Qian's question to Linghu Cong now was actually Linghu Cong's choice and his choice.

Linghu Cong was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Does the Zhonglang want to become the leader of the Shangdang?"

Fei Qian pondered for a while, nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Although it was inconvenient to talk about this matter openly, since Linghu Cong asked about it, we couldn't tell lies in front of Linghu Cong. After all, Linghu was a native of Shangdang.

No one from the Linghu family currently holds important positions in the Han Dynasty court. This does not mean that the Linghu family is indifferent to fame and fortune, but that there are not many opportunities. In fact, the Linghu family has also been in contact with Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao's side is full of talents. What's the difference between having one more or one less Linghu family?

What's more, the Linghu family actually prefers the inheritance of Legalism, but it has only been covered with a layer of Confucianism in recent years. Therefore, in a place like Hebei where Confucian classics families gather, they are not very popular...

Linghu Shao showed up at Pingyang Academy. After meeting Cai Yong, he recognized the development trend in Feiqian more and informed the elders and others in the family about the development of Pingyang area in detail. That's why Linghu Cong repeatedly encouraged Wen Hao to join Fei Qian.

However, Wen Hao is regretting it now, which inevitably makes the Linghu family a little dissatisfied. Therefore, Linghu Cong is actually conducting trials and negotiations with Fei Qian on behalf of the Linghu family...
