Great Wei Nengchen

Foxes have yellow eyes and look down on them, they are naturally suspicious,

Treacherous, suspicious and lacking in integrity, a well-rounded person is difficult to deceive,

Being a woman is bound to be a disaster, but being a man is definitely a blessing.

A life full of peach blossoms, full of love, hate, and sighs!

You can't trust the photo book, after all, whether the child is good or bad depends on how the parents raise it, but every time he sees these radiant fox eyes, he will remind Xiao Yi of one person--Cao Cao!

A man who also has fox eyes, a man with great talent, a man who has suppressed himself for more than 20 years!

The problem is, Xiao Xuan not only has eyes like his grandfather, but also somewhat similar in character, grand and magnanimous, full of arrogance, has the heart to make contributions, or has a strong desire for power, but also has a little cunning, a little sinister, and a little belly black! (Cao Cao: Black belly is not inherited from the maternal line, but from the paternal line.)

This made Xiao Yi a little worried for a while. There was also a traitor in troubled times in his family, and he even had the idea of ​​abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, because in contrast, the second son, Xiao Huang, was upright, open-minded, and even more heroic!

Fortunately, this idea was quickly dispelled, because Xiao Xuan was only a little like his grandfather, but there was a big difference in essence, petty treachery without great evil, petty fraud without loss of kindness, filial piety to parents, brotherly harmony, and sincerity towards friends... ...this is a man with a moral bottom line!

Of course, there is another important reason that cannot be told, that is, "The emperor was really not made by a good person!" '

Turn over the history books and see that Qin Shihuang was not a good man. He killed his father, imprisoned his mother, and killed his second brother. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not a good man. , just pretending to be a good person, but these three have established great achievements, and have made great contributions to the Chinese nation and the common people in the world!

In the same way, if the Xiao family wants to enjoy the country for a long time and create a prosperous dynasty, then the son who will sit on the throne in the future should not be the son with the best character, but the son with the most savvy and ability, and Xiao Xuan is the best candidate ,none of them!

"Banquets have been prepared in Tongguan to welcome father and lord, to reward the soldiers with fat sheep and good wine, and the children are also ready, send someone to distribute them immediately!"

"Okay, my son has a heart, and the order: the army is stationed outside the city, and it will take two days to rest before entering the Guanzhong!"

"promise!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Xiao Xuan and his son entered Tongguan, held a banquet on the top of the city, and drank happily. At the banquet, Xiao Xuan reported the situation in Guanzhong and Hanzhong to his father in detail. over again...

For one thing, Zhuge Liang led 15 troops to attack Hanzhong County in three routes. The offensive was extremely fierce, and there were Zhuge Kongming's banners in all three places.

Fortunately, Hanzhong County had already made preparations. Zhang Ren was stationed at Jinniu Road, Deng Aie guarded Micang Road, Hao Zhao controlled Yangba Road, and relied on the favorable terrain to block the attack of the Shu Han army, while Ma Liu was stationed in Nanzheng City. , responsible for supporting the three-way people, to ensure nothing goes wrong!

Second, after learning that his father led an army to the west, Xiao Xuan mobilized in Guanzhong. There were 25 armored soldiers, [-] civilian husbands, and more than [-] million hu of grain and grass. The protracted war is over.

Three things, as early as three years ago, Xiao Xuan was ordered by his father to build a new school in Guanzhong. After a series of busy work of site selection, survey, preparation, and construction, it has all been completed and can be moved in at any time!

The new Zhengming Academy is located near Baling, eighty miles northeast of Chang'an. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has an elegant environment, convenient transportation, and is free from the noise of the city. It is very suitable for students to live in!

The internal layout of the new school is completely copied from the Zhengming School in Xuchang, so that doctors and students can quickly adapt to it after moving in. However, there is one difference, that is, the overall area of ​​the new school is more than three times that of the old school. That is to say, in the next few years, the Hundred Schools of Schools will expand the enrollment of students.

…………

During the whole narration process, Xiao Yi could only listen quietly, without a smile on his face, nor a word of praise, as the old saying goes: A father never speaks of his son's virtues, and a son never speaks of his father's faults!

No matter how big a mistake the father made, the son can't blame him. At most, he can persuade him gently, maybe he will take the blame for my father!

On the contrary, no matter how many achievements the son has made, as a father, he can't praise him.

This is the father-son relationship in China, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It seems unreasonable, but it is actually very affectionate!

But it is fair to say that Xiao Xuan has been in Guanzhong for several years, and he has made a lot of achievements in culture and governance. He has done things that are not good for the country and the people, and his personal ability has also improved by leaps and bounds. It will turn into a rising sun in the future!

The son is so upright, the father is naturally happy, but he can't praise him in words, and he can't show joy in his face, this kind of suffocated feeling is really uncomfortable, Xiao Yi decided to express his feelings with poems, and do another essay!

There is no way, the ink in my stomach is limited, so I had to copy someone else's, so a song "Tong Caring for the Ancient" came out more than 1000 years in advance:

The mountains and rivers are like clusters, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are outside and inside the Tongguan Road, looking at the western capital, hesitant, sad, where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of soil, prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer!

…………

"Okay, that's great. Master Grand Master's words, from far to near, describe the scenery lyrically, and show the majesty of mountains and rivers. It can be called a masterpiece!"

"Not only is it a masterpiece, it is simply a swan song through the ages. It can be compared with Emperor Taizu Wu's "Duan Ge Xing" before and after!"

Flattering the big man is also one of the compulsory courses in the officialdom. All kinds of praises resounded throughout the city, and the officials with quick minds immediately called for a mason to engrave this poem on the two-meter-high stele and set it up in Tongguan. The head of the city is for the world to look up to. The preface is written like this:

In the first year of Huangchu - July [-]th, Master Xiao Yi marched into Guanzhong and held a banquet on Tongguan. When the wine was half drunk, he looked up at the scorching sun, blue sky and white clouds, overlooking the mountains and rivers. Give to express feelings!

When the endowment was completed, colorful rays of light appeared in the sky (a piece of cloud drifting by), and sweet springs gushed out from the ground (the army set up camp and dug the ground to fetch water)... Woohoo, the best song of all ages, congratulations from heaven and earth!

Xiao Yi has been a civil servant for more than 20 years, and his face has long been thicker than the city wall of Tongguan. He never refuses all kinds of flattery, and even drinks a few cups to celebrate. The true meaning of the first speech Fu, know the rise and fall, win the world!

…………

"Xuan'er, accompany Wei father for a walk!"

"promise!"

After drinking and eating, the father and son of the Xiao family started strolling on the top of the city. The officials, big and small, did not follow them, and the soldiers also stopped. They all knew that the father and son had something to talk about. If they overheard , Maybe it will cause a murderous disaster!

"My son has lived in Guanzhong for several years, what do you think of this place?"

"Reporting to my father: the land in Guanzhong is fertile, the products are rich, the folk customs are simple, yet sturdy, and the geographical location is even more unique. There are Xiaoguan in the north, Wuguan in the south, Tongguan in the east, and Dashanguan in the west. Both advance and attack, and retreat and defend; one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it!

The people of Zhou took Guanzhong as their foundation, and they came out from the east to destroy the Shang and established the world. Later, the people of Qin rose from Longyou and conquered the six kingdoms to rule the world. Enter and destroy Chu, and establish the foundation of the Han family for more than 400 years!

Now this land of Longxing has fallen into the hands of my Xiao family, and the management is like an iron bucket. Once the world changes, hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf masters will come out of Tongguan... Hehe! "

……

"Haha, well said, long-term vision, lofty aspirations, but my son knows the benefits of Guanzhong, but can he know the disadvantages of Guanzhong?"

Chapter 1657 Disadvantages in Guanzhong!

The advantage of Guanzhong lies in its fertile land, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be used as the foundation of a country. Many people know this!

Therefore, when the world was in chaos, Xiao Yi sent troops to Guanzhong first, and firmly controlled it. For more than 20 years, the Cao family father and son have been thinking day and night to take this treasure land, but unfortunately they have not succeeded!

This time Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was actually aimed at Guanzhong, trying to repeat the path of the rise of the Western Han Dynasty, first living in Guanzhong and then map the world!

However, Guanzhong has great benefits, but also has great restraints, but it has not been revealed for the time being. Xiao Yi asked this question today because he wanted to test his son's political vision and ability to control the future!

"Reporting to my father, I have lived in Guanzhong for several years, and I am quite familiar with this land. It is definitely a rare place for Longxing. Is there really any disadvantages? I think Guanzhong is still a little small. It’s a little less, and it’s a little harder to communicate with the outside world!”

"Haha, that's right. My son has bright eyes and is willing to think hard. He can take on great responsibilities in the future!"

Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction, his son was right in pointing out the two major disadvantages of Guanzhong: narrowness and danger!

Guanzhong is more than [-] miles long from east to west, more than [-] miles wide from north to south, and only [-] miles at its narrowest point. It is a long and narrow plain area with limited arable land and resources.

Moreover, Guanzhong is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and soil erosion is very serious. Coupled with the development and utilization of the Qin and Han dynasties for hundreds of years, more than half of the land has been consumed. Many good fields have become sandy fields. The grain output is decreasing year by year, and the forest area is also decreasing sharply. Small, mineable minerals are seriously insufficient!

The materials produced in Guanzhong, while being self-sufficient, must also supply the entire Northwest region, especially the huge garrison along the Great Wall, where the two civilizations of farming and nomads meet, and the wars continue, and the consumption of materials is extremely high!

It may be nothing now, but in the future, if the city is closed, the population will inevitably expand rapidly (one of the habits of the Chinese people, they all like to run to the capital), once it exceeds its carrying capacity, there will be a large-scale food shortage, and other materials will not be sufficient supply!
