At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The Confucianism at this time was not as particular about loyalty as the later Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

When scholars were dissatisfied with the emperor, they dared to go up to persuade the emperor to abdicate and give up the virtuous. This happened more than once.

Although those who did this were all killed by the emperor, this spirit and tradition have not disappeared.

The staunchness of Gongyang School directly caused the turmoil between the Han and Han Dynasties, which was not conducive to ruling, so Liu Xiu personally ended up fighting to suppress Gongyang School after becoming emperor.

In today's season, Gongyang School has lost the glory of the Western Han Dynasty, but its residual prestige still exists, and it has not wiped out the strong fighting spirit of the scholars from the ideological point of view.

In terms of the most fundamental political and economic interests, the popularity of the eunuch group is a signal that the imperial power is trying to expand, and it is a manifestation of the will of the Han emperor not to continue to sit back and watch his power be slowly eroded.

The scholars all knew that the emperor wanted to revive the imperial power and take back the things that belonged to the imperial power, and those things were obtained through their unremitting efforts for several generations. How easy is it to get the imperial power back?

Rebelling against this dynasty is not the best choice. What this dynasty now represents is their interests.

It is not good for them to overthrow the dynasty that has become the defender of their interests, so changing the emperor is the best choice.

Liu Hong has already offended the whole world, and the whole world hates him.

This atmosphere became more and more intense, to the point where even Guo Jia could feel it, but Guo Jia obviously noticed something else.

Guo Jia didn't tell Guo Peng what this thing was, and he probably wouldn't say it easily.

"Since you are interested in the art of war, how about I talk to you about the art of war?"

Guo Jia was very happy to accept Guo Peng's invitation to talk about military affairs with Guo Peng's reputation of "the appearance of a famous general" who had won many battles.

So the two took the wars that had already happened and Guo Peng personally experienced them as arguments, and they began to discuss whether there were other optimal solutions to these wars.

During the discussion, Guo Peng found that Guo Jia's thinking was very sharp, and he seemed to have some talent in military affairs. He could easily find some very critical points, hit the point directly, and propose corresponding solutions.

Naturally, the 17-year-old Guo Jia is not without flaws.

He has never left his hometown, and has never had real contact with the army. Whether it is the army, local government affairs, or the process of marching and fighting, it is just a generalized concept without a real understanding.

This is not something that can be solved by reading and thinking. You have to go through a real war, experience it, feel it, and practice it, and then you can understand it.

Therefore, Guo Peng corrected some of the mistakes Guo Jia made, and told Guo Jia that because of these actual mistakes, his strategy was not practical, or he would find that it would not work at all after the actual operation.

If such a strategy is really adopted, it will be such a strategy that will kill the three armies.

Guo Peng, who has rich battlefield experience, is a professional, much more professional than Guo Jia.

After being pointed out by professionals, Guo Jia, who was originally in high spirits, blushed and bowed to Guo Peng.

"What the Fujun taught me is, Jia, you are being arrogant."

If you can accept the existence of your own mistakes, if you can admit your mistakes, well, then you will have the opportunity to correct them.

"Your thinking is extremely sharp and you can discover many things that even I can't. The grand view.

But in a real war, what you see is a fog, you can't understand the overall situation, grasp the overall situation, the army will not be like your finger, you can go wherever you point, regardless of the time and the physical strength of the soldiers .

For example, what you said about the mutual support and joint operations between the army of Hebei and the army of Henan, you don’t know how many people need to run back and forth to communicate, and how many unpredictable things will happen in the middle.

Whether the messenger will lose the letter, whether the friendly generals will fully implement it without hesitation after delivery, and whether the soldiers can reach the destination within the specified time are all problems, and you cannot guarantee that on this basis, everything It's all a gamble. "

Guo Peng spread his hands and shook his head.

Guo Jia was even a little ashamed, feeling that he was out of class.

"However, I like your style very much."

Guo Peng laughed, and Guo Jia was stunned.

"In a battlefield where it's hard to know the whole situation, the chances are fleeting. Every decision a general makes is a kind of gamble in itself. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy and winning a hundred battles is just an extremely ideal state.

Marching and fighting, there are too many things that are not clear, how can we really know ourselves and the enemy?Famous generals in all battles cannot guarantee that they will win the next battle.

But you have to fight, you have to make plans to calculate the enemy, and you have to do your best to win. Although you lack experience, you are much better than most people. "

Guo Jia thought about it carefully, and felt that what Guo Peng said was really true.

He is inexperienced, very inexperienced.

Staying in my hometown and socializing with friends, chatting with each other, discussing the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, and put forward many ideas, but none of them can be implemented.

Ideas are ideas, time is time, and his ideal society cannot be expressed by just talking about it.

Only in the military, Guo Peng was able to shatter his ideas to pieces, so did he make the same mistakes in other aspects?

If things go on like this, aren't all my ideals just ideals?

Guo Jia suddenly realized that besides studying to improve his knowledge, there seemed to be some very important things he hadn't done.

And Guo Peng is already doing it.

Guo Jia suddenly had a bold idea.

Chapter 161 .160 Sleeping in the same bed (revision)

Guo Jia knew that it was inappropriate for him to make such a request.

But young people, the most important thing, isn't it just a drive?

Just now Guo Peng also said that he appreciates himself like this.

"Your Majesty, Jia has something to ask. Although Jia knows that this is unreasonable, Jia still wants to say it!"

"You said."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Jia wants to practice. Jia wants to see the army marching and fighting with his own eyes, and personally confirm Jia's thoughts and thoughts. I also hope that the Fujun will make it happen! Jia wants to follow the Fujun to the Shanggu army!"

Guo Peng shook his head.

"No."

"Why?"

Guo Jia felt a great sense of loss and hurriedly asked.

"You're only 17 years old, you're still underage, you don't even have a bun, and you still want to go with me to the Shanggu Army?"

"........."

Guo Jia blinked, stroked his hair, was immediately annoyed, and stomped hard.

"Oh! Why couldn't Jia be born a few years earlier!"

Seeing Guo Jia's disappointed look, Guo Peng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing, Mr. Fu?"

"You are underage and cannot be an official, but if you want to go to the army, it is still possible, but do you really want to go? Youzhou Shanggu County, Bian County, a place of bitter cold, is different from Yingchuan security, not only In this way, there will be an attack from Xianbei, which is very dangerous."

Guo Jia's blood surged immediately.

"Don't be afraid! How dare a big man be afraid of hardships and dangers! What's the matter with death?"

"it is good!"

Guo Peng patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "Don't call me Mr. Fu, your grandfather and mine are brothers, and we haven't released five clothes, and you don't have any other brothers, so call me elder brother. "

Guo Jia blinked her eyes and opened her mouth, as if feeling something was wrong.

"really?"

"really."

Guo Peng nodded, and Guo Jia laughed.

"Brother."

"Ok!"

Guo Peng patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and continued to discuss some military issues with Guo Jia.

Talking and talking, he found that Guo Jia had read a lot of military books and had a very deep understanding of the art of war. He could draw some correct conclusions by himself through thinking, and the wrong ones needed to be solved by practice.

So the more they talked, the happier they were, and the more they talked, the happier Guo Peng got along with Guo Jia not as an official of two thousand stones, but as a brother, and it was very pleasant to get along with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia found that he and Guo Peng got along very well, so he invited Guo Peng to sleep in the same bed with him that night, and the two chatted together until very late before falling asleep.

When he woke up early the next morning, Guo Jia took Guo Peng to continue chatting. It was almost noon when Guo Dan called someone to find Guo Peng, and Guo Peng went back.

Then that night, Guo Peng was invited by Guo Jia to talk with him at night by candlelight, and slept on the same bed again.

For three consecutive days, Guo Peng and Guo Jia slept on the same bed at night and chatted. This news caused quite a controversy among the Guo clan.

They all thought how could Guo Peng get along so happily with that prodigal Guo Jia?

Sleeping in the same bed with Guo Jia right after returning to the clan?

Even if it's a relationship between cousins, it's not easy to settle the relationship so quickly, right?

Still that fast.

Guo Peng felt that he and Guo Jia were destined for each other, and they couldn't stop talking when they got together. Although Guo Jia was young, he was not a few years older than him, so there was no barrier.

Afterwards, Guo Peng chose a family member named Guo Rui from the clan to go north with him, and summoned him to be his legal counselor, specializing in matters such as law.

Guo Rui is 26 years old, young, capable, knowledgeable, very familiar with Xiao Dulu, and he is relatively rigid, likes to pay attention to rules and regulations, and is a member of his own family, so Guo Peng chose him.

In this way, there is nothing to do in the clan, all that needs to be done has been done, and it is time for Guo Peng to go to Luoyang to reunite with his wife.

Before leaving, Guo Peng proposed to take Guo Jia away, which shocked everyone's eyes.

Everyone wondered why Guo Peng was able to get along so well with Guo Jia, a prodigal, and was willing to take him away and cultivate him into a confidant by his side.

Guo Dan also didn't understand, but for what Guo Peng did, Guo Dan was used to not interfering and expressed support, so the matter was settled.

On September 27, Guo Peng set off from Yangdi County and headed north to Luoyang.

Because Guo Rui held such a position, he wanted to make achievements to prove himself, so he went to Shanggu County in a hurry. Guo Jia didn't have any urgent thoughts in this regard, so he chose to follow Guo Peng to Luoyang.

Guo Jia also chatted with Guo Peng along the way, which made Cao Chun very surprised, thinking how could Guo Peng talk so happily with this "brother" whom he had only known for a few days.

After a long time without seeing his wife and children, Guo Peng was very excited when approaching Luoyang. On the first day of October, Guo Peng arrived in Luoyang with a convoy. Without further ado, he ran towards home first.

In order to surprise his family, Guo Peng did not inform them in advance when he would arrive in Luoyang, so when Guo Peng appeared in Cao Song's mansion, everyone in Cao Song's mansion was stunned.

At that time, Cao Song was still at work, and Mrs. Ding saw Guo Peng in the mansion. She couldn't say anything happy at once. She went up to look at Guo Peng carefully, and then happily asked, "Why didn't you send the letter first?" ? That way we'll be ready, too."

"The heart of going home is too eager, so I don't have such thoughts anymore. I just want to go home as soon as possible. Mother-in-law, where is Alan?"

"It's in the backyard!"

Guo Peng asked Mrs. Ding to arrange for him the attendants who came with him, and ran directly to the backyard by himself.

Cao Lan, who had a big belly and was walking with the help of a maid, thought it was a hallucination when she saw Guo Peng. She rubbed her eyes, but it didn't feel like a hallucination.

"Alan!"

Guo Peng stepped forward and hugged Cao Lan carefully, his face full of joy.

After being hugged like this, Cao Lan confirmed that it was Guo Peng who had returned, her eye circles immediately turned red, and tears fell like broken beads.

"Peng Lang, you are finally back..."

Then I couldn't stop crying and couldn't say a word.

"Alan, I'm sorry for you. You are pregnant, but I can't be with you."

Guo Peng's eye circles were also red, and he couldn't say anything more while holding Cao Lan.

At the beginning of her pregnancy last year, Guo Peng asked her to go back to Luoyang to raise her baby and wait for the birth. Now the couple haven't seen each other for several months, and when they meet again, they are filled with emotion.

After a while, Cao Lan's mood returned to normal. Guo Peng looked at his soon-to-be-born child with a smile, touched Cao Lan's stomach, and listened to the fetal sound in his stomach, feeling very happy.

After the two of them stayed together for a while, Guo Peng asked about little Guo Jin.

"Jin'er is in Duke Lu's mansion. Duke Lu is very concerned about Jin'er's affairs, and personally teaches Jin'er to read and write."

Guo Peng nodded.

"Thanks to the teacher, I won't worry about Jin'er learning badly. I will go to see the teacher tomorrow and thank the teacher for his kindness."

And soon, little Guo Jin was called back to the mansion by Mrs. Ding.
