Chapter 1061 The Issue of Weighing the Pros and Cons

For the entire strategy, the ultimate goal is to win Guanzhong. There is naturally no problem with this, but there is no problem strategically, which does not mean there is no problem tactically.

Just like Bald Qiang in later generations, in terms of grand strategy, strictly speaking there is no problem, but there are often mistakes in specific battles...

A few days earlier or a few days later is not a big problem for Fei Qian, but for Zhong Shao and Yang Biao who are in a stalemate in Chang'an, Guanzhong, the difference is very important.

In terms of strategy, basically as long as the intelligence work is not done too poorly, it is basically the things that are put on the table. How many cities, how many generals, how many soldiers and horses, etc. are all known. If it is inseparable from ten, then you have a general idea of ​​where the opponent's key points are and where your troops should go.

So in the early stages of the battle between the two sides, before there is formal contact, they are basically like chess players sitting at both ends of the chessboard. They basically know what chess pieces they have and what chess pieces the opponent has. But after the actual battle begins, Where and when both sides make their moves have become the most critical factors that determine the victory of this chessboard.

Limited by the lack of communication tools, no matter how many scouts are dispatched, it will be like marching in rain and fog for both sides. The troops on the battlefield are all moving around. Anyone on the chessboard No one can master all the battlefield information, so at this stage, the test is for the counselors and generals of both sides to guide the battlefield and even the other side's generals based on their respective experience and wisdom.

It is precisely because of this that in ancient times, many people who were familiar with military literature and could speak eloquently and accurately outside the battlefield often became full of mistakes and extremely dull after actually going to the battlefield. They were the so-called masters on paper but in reality. There are endless numbers of incompetent traders.

Fortunately, Fei Qian and Jia Xu were basically relatively prudent and intelligent people, so regarding the situation in Guanzhong, they did not act like they had a chance of winning and everything would be fine. They still made choices and arrangements very carefully.

Before sending troops to Diaoyin, although both Yang Biao and Zhong Shao knew that there were Fei Qian's soldiers and horses, they did not place the chess pieces on the chessboard after all, so Yang Biao and Zhong Shao in Guanzhong were only on guard and did not know how to He wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke Fei Qian before the winner is decided...

But once Fei Qian sends troops to Diaoyin, it means that Fei Qian is joining the chaos in Guanzhong. Whether it is Yang Biao or Zhong Shao, the behaviors and plans of these two people will naturally be adjusted accordingly because of Fei Qian's joining. .

Jia Xu knew the meaning of Fei Qian's words, and of course he was also trying to figure out the thoughts revealed by Fei Qian's words. It has to be said that Fei Qian is now a very important figure, and his words and deeds have naturally become the subject of speculation by many people. Objects, including Jia Xu.

Figuring out a person's thoughts and then benefiting oneself in certain circumstances is no longer a special talent or ability, as long as an individual can do it. Basically, when a child falls to the ground and begins to form consciousness, he will start to use this skill.

Of course, some children receive more care, and when they have any needs, the people around them immediately meet them. This actually reduces the children's opportunities to practice their abilities, causing such children to grow up and use themselves as their own. A little more centered.

Just like Jia Xu, in Xiliang, if you want to survive the frequent armed riots, if you can't learn, or you are still not good at it, you have to seek a second chance early...

Jia Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, because he felt that Fei Qian seemed to be in a hurry when he left Pingyang this time. Even if he wanted to head south, he didn't have to leave so quickly. When the hottest days are over, Ji Xia It's too late to leave at that time. Anyway, even if the situation in Chang'an reaches the extreme level of corruption, Fei Qian, the Bingbei political group, will not lose a few hairs.

Yang Biao estimates that he will win the final victory, but it will definitely not be easy.

This is Jia Xu's inference. Even very early on, Jia Xu had already reached such a conclusion. Whether it is in the political arena or in battle, if you want to win, you cannot follow the opponent's pace, nor can you entangle too much in the area that the opponent is familiar with. But unfortunately, cheating is guilty of both of these two things, and it is not Knowing that change has made defeat a natural thing...

"...The key is Emperor Han..." Fei Qian frowned and whispered.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "...As long as the Marquis of Linjin does not push too hard, Zhong Shangshu will not dare to be too disrespectful to His Majesty. After all, the responsibility is huge and no one can bear it... It's just..."

Jia Xu's statement was also very clear, and Fei Qian nodded in agreement. There is no doubt about this. As long as their minds are not flooded, no one dares to really do anything to Han Emperor Liu Xie at this stage, but as time goes by, it will be hard to say.

Just like Yuan Shao in Jizhou had the idea of ​​​​electing Liu Yu as emperor, and took practical actions. If Liu Yu himself had not expressed strong opposition, there might have been two Han emperors in the world now. So will Yang Biao be pushed to a certain point, or will he consider doing something like Yuan Shao when he feels that he can no longer fight with Zhong Shao?

Of course, such a move requires a certain amount of time and candidates. Yang Biao may have such thoughts at this moment, but it is not easy to find someone with the right reputation and status.

Fei Qian's current troubles are not only this matter, but also a more important issue...

Fei Qian was silent for a while, then nodded to Jia Xu, indicating that Jia Xu should go about his business, and ended the brief meeting. Fei Qian gave up the idea of ​​discussing it with Jia Xu, and it would be better to prepare himself to come up with a general framework before discussing it.

Jia Xu secretly raised his eyes to glance at Fei Qian, cupped his hands, lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then bowed.

Fei Qian didn't notice Jia Xu's expression, because the matter he was thinking about now was related to the direction of the next few years, or even the next few decades, so he focused all his energy on thinking about this issue. After all, Fei Qian didn't think about it first. Knowing the causes and consequences, not weighing the pros and cons, having no idea at all, just listening to what others say is one, and what others say is two, wouldn't it mean that you have become someone else's puppet?

Moreover, under the current situation, this problem has to be put on the table and needs to be weighed by Fei Qian, because this problem will happen soon, so it is best to make a plan before this problem comes. So as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.

In fact, this problem can be said to be simple or complex. It is the problem of the Han emperor, which is the so-called "the narrow emperor orders the princes"!

Some people will definitely ask, what’s the problem with this?

Just put Emperor Han under the creaking nest!

However, in the past few days, Fei Qian has faintly realized in his heart that such a simple and crude method may have serious sequelae...

This sequelae was proved to be an effective method by Cao Cao in later generations, but it also brought Cao Cao regrets throughout his life.

Is there any benefit to "the narrow emperor orders the princes"?

Of course!

Through such measures, Cao Cao successfully tied the Emperor of Han to his own chariot, and also gained the political commanding heights. Whether it was internally or externally, he not only improved his status, but also expanded his influence, and finally went smoothly. On the road to dominance.

But similarly, Cao Cao's behavior also attracted many royalists. These royalists surrounded the Han Emperor. While making certain contributions, they also hindered Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao's political group to collapse. In the middle and later stages, he was completely caught up in political struggles and could no longer mobilize a large number of troops to conquer Liu Bei and Sun Quan like in the Battle of Chibi. Externally, we have to contend with two powerful competitors. Internally, we also need to deal with a large group of royalists who sometimes slip up, and even don’t know when they will slip up. This...

This cannot but be said to be the disadvantage of holding the emperor hostage.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Fei Qian is naturally aware of this contradiction. However, in terms of his current actual situation, what are the advantages and disadvantages of such a move? Are they within the scope of his tolerance? For the future Whether there will be greater obstacles to the promotion of reform, these naturally need to be carefully weighed by Fei Qian, and Fei Qian must also consider it alone, because except for himself, in this Han Dynasty, no one knows about the historical changes in the history of the Han Dynasty. What is the next development?

Some people say that Yuan Shao was stupid and chose to give up when he had the opportunity to meet the Han Emperor. They said that Yuan Shao's counselors had already made preparations to meet the Han Emperor, but in the end they were overthrown by Yuan Shao, taking advantage of Cao Cao and so on...

But actually?

Is Yuan Shao really such a stupid person?

Sorry, although Fei Qian did not have a direct confrontation with Yuan Shao, but from the time Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, how could these methods shown by a political idiot be done by him?

You must know that when Yuan Shao and Han Fu first fought against each other, they did not have all the counselors around them. The first-class or almost first-class counselors such as Tian Feng and Jushu were still officials in Jizhou, not Yuan Shao's subordinates. . As for the only two people who were with Yuan Shao at that time, Feng Ji and Xu You. Logically speaking, they should be at most second-rate or above-average counselors.

What's more, Yuan Shao actually made preparations to welcome the Han Emperor.

Historically, after the Han Emperor arrived in Luoyang, Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu as an envoy to Luoyang to pay respects to the Han Emperor and offer tribute. Perhaps he also showed some goodwill to the Han Emperor at that time, but in the end, he does not know the reason. Emperor Han was not tempted...

Until later, when Cao Cao went, it seemed logical for the Han Emperor to finally follow Cao Cao to Xuchang, which also achieved Cao Cao's reputation as "the narrow emperor who orders the princes".

Um……

Fei Qian rolled his eyes, as if he felt something was wrong...

The Book of Han is contemporary history. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms is also half contemporary history. The Book of Later Han was written by later generations. This has resulted in the details of many events being either obscured or omitted, and the true situation may have been Not known.

Just like the details of "the narrow emperor orders the princes"!

Why was Liu Xie reluctant to hold Cao Cao's hand when Yuan Shao showed his kindness?

In this incident, what exactly did the various characters do, and how did they guide the development of this incident?

When he was a child, Fei Qian hated learning history the most, because whether it was a history teacher or a history textbook, it was always boring. The cold year numbers and unfamiliar names combined to form events one after another, and it made his head hurt to carry it...

Who remembers whether Yuan Shao died in 202 or 203?

Who remembers whether the Battle of Chibi was in 207 or 208?

Most people probably only remember Huang Gai’s red butt and Zhuge’s song Dongfeng Po...

But the truth of history is often hidden under such boring, simple and boring numbers and names. How did the final result of "The emperor narrowly ordered the princes" come about under the circumstances at that time?

After all, Han Emperor Liu Xie was a person, not an object. This can be seen in the fact that Cao Cao encountered royalist counterattacks many times. Moreover, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was not without talents. After he abdicated, when he was the Duke of Shanyang, he governed Shanyang in an orderly manner and the people were attentive. Many people even took the initiative to take the loess with them after Liu Xie's death. Build a mausoleum for Liu Xie...

Therefore, Yuan Shao's failure to welcome the Han Emperor may be partially due to Yuan Shao himself, and may also be partially due to Han Emperor Liu Xie, or those around Liu Xie.

So what now?

Is it necessary for me to "narrow the emperor to order the princes"?

Or think about it from another angle, is it suitable for you to "narrow the emperor to order the princes" now?

Later generations often say that walking someone else's path and then leaving others with nowhere to go may sound cool, but the question is, is someone else's path necessarily going to be easy?

To be narrow or not to be narrow, that is the question. And it will affect the whole body. No matter which direction you choose, it will trigger a series of reactions, and these reactions will not be written in the history books.

The current situation of Feiqian, for example, is actually a very simple private enterprise with flat management. Its development momentum and profit scale are both good. Now there is a sudden opportunity for financing. It may be possible to go public and merge with a company. It was originally an old company with a big brand. Of course, this old company has assets and liabilities...

Naturally, it’s great to have money in front of you, but after the excitement, the equity is diluted, and then there are not a few people who turn their own companies into other people’s holding companies, even if they firmly control the advantageous position during the capital restructuring process , but there are many people who have their capital chain cut off by huge liabilities.

As the chairman and general manager of Bingbei Political Group, the problems faced by Fei Qian are also so complex. It seems that no matter how to choose, it is a difficult problem.

When the emperor ushered in, he naturally gained political status, but many royalists were also added to the organization. Sometimes these people were lubricants and could help coordinate and handle affairs, but sometimes they became Grit makes the entire system malfunction.

Regardless of the history books, it seems that everyone was very happy when Cao Cao went there, and both the emperor and the officials seemed to be in a good mood. However, you must know that both the Book of Wei and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms are from the Wei and Jin dynasties, so they naturally picked up some good ones. Writing, who knows what happened or what was done in it?

However, not welcoming the Emperor is tantamount to giving up these political benefits to others. When others come to order you in the name of the Emperor, they will inevitably regret it like Yuan Shao...

Fei Qian frowned, holding the riding crop in his hand, tapping it gently and weighing it.

This Emperor of the Han Dynasty, what kind of model should he adopt now? Should we go to marry, um, welcome her, or should we not welcome her?

This question is so difficult...
