Weird Three Kingdoms

Xia Houmao reined in the horse, stopped and looked up at the city gate of Xiangyang in the distance, silent for a long time.

He didn't want to come, but...

Only he can come.

Although it is winter, a city as big as Xiangyang still consumes a lot of money every day. Even if we have stockpiled firewood and coal before winter, we still need to collect more firewood when the weather is sunny, just in case it is needed , so there are still many people on the road outside Xiangyang City.

Either for your own family or for others, braved the cold wind to come out to collect firewood.

Most of these people are wearing single clothes, even naked in the cold winter, in order not to let the rough hemp rope or wood scratch the clothes.The dark skin was stained with mud and water, and then solidified into strips of imprints, as if the ice cold was about to be deeply imprinted into the annual rings, and it seemed that some kind of evil creature was attached to it and sucked the yang energy, making these The man was trembling, but he still had to grit his teeth and move forward.

Xia Houmao looked at the fur on his body, was silent for a while, then raised his head, "Go into the city. 』

Apparently someone had already reported the news. Three miles outside the city gate, there was a small team of Cao's Military Academy waiting on the left side of the road.

Xia Houmao nodded, "Take me to see the general." 』

With Cao's soldiers clearing the way, everything is unimpeded.

This situation seems to have been like this since ancient times.

A follower will never be a good leader.

Xia Houmao looked at Xiahou Zizang in front of him, and almost couldn't recognize him.

"Sleep..." Xia Houmao closed his eyes and let out a long breath, as if this could keep his tone steady, "Wake him up and bring him here. 』

"Now I know..." Xia Houmao stared at Xiahou Zizang, shook his head, "It's too late... Please at least at the end, you can really be like Xiahou's disciples... let's go! 』

Xiahou Zizang stood up, then turned around and left, but after walking two steps, he saw Xiahou Mao sitting quietly, and then looked at him with a very strange look, so he couldn't help but stop, and then Some cautiously asked: "Second brother... what are you... doing?"Don't you want to go back? 』

Perhaps in the eyes of some children, their parents are both strong men, supermen, omnipotent, and will never get sick or die. In this way, they can protect them forever, love them, and work hard for them. , be a cow and a horse, forever and ever.

Xia Houmao stood up, rearranged the clothes that had been pulled crookedly by Xia Hou Zizang, then stepped over the bloody stains on the ground, and walked out of the hall. floor.

...(((m-__-)m...

The reason for the turbidity of Jingshui is naturally soil erosion, and soil erosion is because a large number of livestock overdraws the vegetation in the upper reaches of Jingshui.

When Xiahou Zizang saw Xiahoumao, he rushed to the fence with ecstasy, "Second brother!Second brother!I'm here!it's here!Get someone to let me out, let me out! 』

"The water is muddy and the water is clear because of the amount of silt. Fei Qian said to Fei Zhen: "In ancient times, the aquatic plants and vegetation were not damaged by cattle and sheep, so the Jingshui was clearer than the Weishui.Now the Jingshui is turbid, because the upper reaches of the Jingshui, the water and soil are not solid, and it flows in the middle of the river, so it looks turbid...』

"Han Shu" records, "Jingshui a stone, its mud several buckets."

"Second brother!What are you doing? ! Before the person arrived, an angry voice came first, "Finally fell asleep, why did you wake me up?" ! 』

"See father? !Do you want your father to bear the notoriety of another tortoise? ! Xia Houmao gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Miaocai was afraid that you would suffer, so he asked Boren to take you on the journey. He entrusted you with kindness and instructed him with all his heart. What did you do in the end?" !What did you do? !You actually burned the Boren Barracks!Burned his food and grass!You are lawless, this is the crime of chaos!It hurt Boren, and also implicated Uncle Miaocai! 』

Then, it fell silent.

In the middle period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu invaded Beidi County from the Hetao area, broke through Xiaoguan, and shook Guanzhong.Then the Xiongnu soldiers divided into two groups, all the way south along the majestic Liupan Mountain and Longshan Mountain, conquered Huizhong Palace, and set fire to it.The second route was plundering in the upper reaches of the Jing River, and arrived near the Ganquan Palace on a sentry post.For a time, wars were raging everywhere, and the Han Dynasty sent out sentries to and fro in a hurry, and the alarm was dozens of times a day.

"Why didn't you come? ’ Xia Houmao asked.

"ah!What's wrong? ”Xiahou Zizang seemed very strange, “Isn’t it? 』

"No!I do not want! 』Xia Houzi Zang burst into tears, and grabbed Xia Houmao, "No, no, no...let me go!"let me go!I don't want, no... let go, let go...』

Fei Zhen stretched her head and looked at the Jing and Wei waters again, "Of course the Jing water is muddy!" 』

"don't know? Xia Houmao sneered and said, "Xiahou's clan gained shade with military merits, you said you don't know?"Okay, let's not talk about those military laws and regulations, it's just that people are loyal and filial, you always have to understand it!Father has worked so hard to temper you and wash away your obstinacy, but in the end you acted like this?So repay? !Uncle Miaocai cherishes you, Uncle Zixiao treats you, Brother Boren trusts you, all these things, so what about you? !You... You kicked over this desk, but have you thought about how to clean it up?You disregarded the reputation of the Xiahou family and acted recklessly, but have you ever thought about your father and brotherhood? !Have you thought about it? !Do you have right or wrong in your heart?Can there be loyalty and filial piety? ! 』

Fei Zhen shook her head, and then said with some feeling: "Water is not turbid, only people have turbidity." 』

"no. Xia Houmao said in a deep voice, and then waved his hand, as if to let the guards come in, "You don't have to go anywhere. 』

Yes, it is difficult, but it does not mean that you should give up because of difficulties.From reality to concreteness, and then to concept, sublimated into "Tao", this is what Chinese culture pursues, just like Kuafu chasing the sun until death.If there is no spirit of Kuafu chasing the sun in ancient times, future generations will not have the desire for the starry sky and the universe.

On the road, those woodcutters hurriedly evaded to the side of the road, and even because of carelessness when evading, the bundled firewood they had collected so hard fell and fell apart...

Xiahou Zi Zang shrank aside as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.

Xia Houmao took a step back, endured his nausea, frowned, "Come here, take him to freshen up..."

There is a jug of wine and a cup on the lacquered plate.

"Clear water is better or muddy water is better, depending on how it is used. Fei Qian said slowly, "For Jingwei itself, do you care whether your water is clear or turbid? 』

Cao Ren just asked: "Brother Yuan Rang asked you to come?" 』

On the land of Chang'an, there are two important waters, Jingshui and Weishui.

"ah? 』Xiahou Zizang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then for a moment, he seemed to have a guilty expression, maybe also flustered, 『Sick?Father is sick?How could you be sick? 』

Xia Houmao lowered his head, "Father can't afford to be seriously ill... I came here by myself..."

"You don't need to go? ”Although Xiahou Zizang was a little confused, but there was some joy in his tone, “Really?Can I stop going to Youzhou?I... can I go back?Haha, great!go!Let's go now! 』

Xia Houmao bowed down and touched his head to the ground, "Thank you, Uncle, for protecting him with all your heart. Xia Hou will never forget it." 』

One plus one, under universality and objectivity, is equal to two, rather than trying to make one plus one equal to equal to several.

"Ah, huh? ’ Fei Zhen’s eyes widened and her mouth widened, ‘Why why? 』

Fei Qian chuckled, "There is a saying in the poem, "The Jing is turbid when the Wei is turbid, but it is the same." In ancient times, this is the water of the Wei and Wei. How clear and turbid is it?" 』

"Did you see it? ’ Fei Qian asked, pointing to the dividing line between Jing and Wei.

Fei Zhen couldn't answer for a moment.Fei Zhen knew that the question his father asked was not just about the river water, but it was not that simple for him to sum up the concepts in his mind from the appearance in front of him.

Not to mention the disheveled hair, Xiahou Zizang seemed to be covered with a lot of mud. Although it had dried up, it still exuded a stench.Xiahou Zizang didn't look like a son of a noble family at all. On the contrary, he looked very much like those woodcutters on the road outside the city.

Xia Houmao didn't say what to protect, and Cao Ren didn't ask either.

If everything is determined according to the water quality of Jingwei itself, then the Jinghe River is clear and the Weishui is turbid.

"To Youzhou? Xia Houmao couldn't help snorting, "Do you still remember going to Youzhou?" 』

What time is it, can you still fall asleep?

Therefore, Fei Zhen must have her own ideas and choices, and then consider how best to do it based on the most basic standpoint, instead of changing the bottom line at any time and floating up and down as she likes.

After all, in this world, universality and objectivity apply in most cases.

"Then...why? ’ Fei Qian asked lightly.

Fei Qian nodded with a smile.

Xia Houmao sighed, and then the expression on his face became firmer.

Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen who was frowning, and knew in his heart that this was a very abstract concept, which made it quite difficult for Fei Zhen to understand.It is like a child who can understand that one apple plus one apple is equal to two apples, but when asked how much one plus one equals, he may not be able to get the correct answer.

Then this simple happiness became a clear dividing line in Jing Wei's body...

"This... second brother, don't be joking, this... what does this have to do with me?Besides, I didn't set the fire on... let's go, it's just water! 』Xiahou Zizang refused to admit it, and subconsciously put aside the relationship, "I just came to play with Uncle Zixiao for two days... When the Boren brothers come back, then go to Youzhou..."

Although he didn't know why his father brought him here after seeing the merits and demerits he wrote so hard, but this did not prevent Fei Zhen from being as happy as a second child released from a cage. Like haha, laughing and joking.

If he says he has thought about it, then he can't answer why he has to do it if he has thought about it.If he said he hadn't thought about it, he also couldn't answer why he didn't even think about such a basic thing, the standard of good and evil, so he habitually remained silent, then subconsciously changed the subject, and rushed to pull Xia Houmao, " Second brother!I was wrong, I really knew it was wrong!I would like to go to Youbei!I do!Brother!real! 』

On the boundary between Jing and Wei, Fei Qian and Fei Zhen were watching the two rivers gurgling together, and then rushing forward regardless of the difference between Wei and Wei.

"Well..." Cao Ren was silent for a while, "Understood...you are a good boy...go..."

In this war, although the Han Dynasty barely drove the Xiongnu away in the end, the disadvantages of the cavalry were obvious. Emperor Hanwen made up his mind to build a horse farm, develop animal husbandry on a large scale, build 36 gardens, and set up 3 people to raise horses.When Emperor Wu of the Han came to the throne, there were more than 36 horses in the 40 gardens.The upper reaches of Jingshui River was one of the main horse breeding areas at that time.Such a large animal husbandry quickly overdraws the aquatic plants and vegetation, and the sediment in the upper reaches of the Jing River also increases.Therefore, no matter whether it is Jingshui or Weishui, its essence has not changed, and what has changed is only the external factors imposed by people.

Fei Zhen watched and nodded, "I see it! 』

Cao Ren received Xia Houmao.

The jug fell to the ground, and the dark wine poured out, staining the ground.

"I... I, I... I don't know!I didn't know it would be like this..." Xia Hou Zizang subconsciously denied, "I have never commanded a military, and I don't understand military law..."

The Jingshui River is the longest tributary of the Weishui River, passing through the Loess Plateau from northwest to southeast, and joining the Weishui River in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain.Jingshui cuts through the loess layer like a knife, reaching as deep as the hard bedrock under the loess, and most river sections are rocky riverbeds.

"This Jingshui...in ancient times..." Fei Zhen rolled his eyes twice, "It should be clear...well, because if everything is turbid, you wouldn't ask such a question, Father..."

"So, is the Jing water clear or the Wei water clear?"Is it better to be clear, or to be cloudy?And how can it be transformed? ’ Fei Qian asked slowly again.

Fei Qian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "There is nothing wrong with that...but is the water clear? In fact, it is not the water itself that determines whether the water is clear..."

The guard stepped forward and pulled Xia Hou Zizang away from Xia Hou Mao's body.

"..." Xia Houmao couldn't help sighing again, "You don't have to go. 』

"I...I..." Xiahou Zizang couldn't answer.

Fei Qian shook his head, "This is the present...I'm asking about the ancient times."In the ancient times, there were neither you nor me, and even the big man was nowhere to be seen. It was the beginning of Yanhuang... Is this Jingshui clear or muddy? 』

"don't want! ”Xiahou Zizang kicked the table and the lacquer plate away, his eyes widened, “What are you doing? !I am Xiahou, and I am the son of the dignified General Xiahou!I'm going to see my father!I'm going to see my father! ! 』

The guard came in, holding a lacquer plate in his hand, and placed it on the table beside him.

Beside the flagon, there is also a roll of white silk.

Regarding these situations, the soldiers of the Cao family did not have any special reactions, nor did they intentionally charge into them, but if someone stood in front of them, they would whip them with horsewhips, beat them with gun handles, or even hack them with knives without hesitation. .It's like a person driving a car on the road, not because there are ants and insects on the road, just avoiding it on purpose.

But in the Han Dynasty, things became different.

Although Xiahou Mao's undisguised expression of disgust made Xiahou Zizang somewhat unhappy, but the urgency to get rid of the filth on his body left Xiahou Zizang with no time to worry about it, so he happily followed him out of the cell and went to take a bath wash up.

"Originally there was a knife..." Xia Houmao said slowly, "But I think...you probably don't have the courage to choose which one, so you don't use it, and it's more or less a bit more decent...although you... ...'

At this time, the Jing River was turbid and the Wei River was clear.

Xia Houmao thanked him again, then got up, left the general's mansion with his guards, and then went to the prison in Xiangyang.

In summer, the upper reaches of the Wei River enter the rainy season earlier, and the increase in flow brings more sediment, so the Jing River is clear and the Wei River is turbid.When the upper reaches of the Jing River also entered the rainy season, both rivers were turbid, but the upper reaches of the Wei River had more precipitation, more silt, and more turbid water.In winter, both rivers enter the dry season. The Jinghe River has a long geological age, and the riverbed is cut down to the bedrock. When the river flows through, there is less sediment rolled up.

Xiahou Mao looked at Xiahou Zizang, who was simply wearing a cloth robe, and suddenly felt that he was very strange, as if he was not a brother, but an ordinary person who had nothing to do with him, "You know... Father...is he seriously ill? 』

Xia Houmao was silent for a while, "Why are you sick?Of course, after knowing that you set fire to escape...』

The guard lowered his head, "Mr. Sanlang is asleep. 』

A monarch who has no position often brings disaster to his subjects.Although it is said that a monarch with a position may not bring much good luck, it will be slightly better than a monarch who has no idea.In the feudal dynasties of China, countless emperors and generals all went from mediocrity to decline. Without exception, once they accepted mediocrity, it was tantamount to slow death.

Changan.

Maybe people who don't have much self-adherence, or who think flattery is more important, will choose an answer similar to Fei Qian's saying that clear is clear, and turbid is turbid, etc. But for Fei Zhen, if he becomes such a person , is equivalent to the failure of Fiqian's education.

About an hour or so later, Xiahou Mao's guards came back, but there was no Xiahou Zizang behind him.

Everything, good or bad, depends on the person.It's like the mothers of rivers, mothers of the earth, etc. that human beings often sing about. In fact, how many people will really respect the "mother" who talks about it every day?The mother deserved to eat the poisonous excrement, to be riddled with holes, and then to bear the burden of hard work. She shouldn't be flooded, otherwise she would be cursed and abused?

"So clear and turbid, so what are the merits and demerits?" ’ Fei Qian asked again.

"Gong... Fault..." Fei Zhen is like a computer loaded with a lot of programs, she seems to be able to hear the whistling sound of the fan in her head, and even the output of the display is one by one. , "Gong... Defeat... Ah..."

In the past few days, Fei Zhen can be said to have racked his brains, just like a poor Party B, changing the policy theory from the first draft 1.0 to the first draft 1.1.7, then to the final version 2.0, and then to the final version of Party A , Party A decides version [-], finally decides version [-], finally decides version [-], finally revises version I, finally revises version II, resolutely does not revise, resolutely does not revise, kills, does not revise, kills, does not revise...

So much so that when she heard the word "merits and demerits", Fei Zhen couldn't help but feel a burst of uncontrollable sadness...
