Chapter 161 Seeking Unity Through Struggle

The three people in Yizhou were not very impressed by Zhang Liao's performance, because Zhao Yun was still sitting next to him.

Fazheng blushed and hid his face silently.

Kong Ming remembered the lamentation of "himself" in the light curtain about the Battle of Yiling:

"Filial piety should be diligent in taking care of the body. Only by being free from illness and disaster can you achieve recovery. I have a health prescription given by Jingzhou Divine Doctor Zhang. Come and join my classmate when you have time from now on."

Fa Zheng was overjoyed and accepted the offer.

[As we mentioned before, Chen Shou commented on Liu Chan that he was "plain silk" and dyed whatever color he was around.

But Sun Quan was actually similar. He served as four governors throughout his life, and the emperor and his ministers achieved mutual success. Therefore, the final conclusion of each governor can also be regarded as Sun Quan's evaluation.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the three governors of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lü Meng were combined into one biography, but Chen Shou was very interesting in his evaluation, putting Zhou Yu and Lu Su together, and Lü Meng separately.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su were "dictatorial, outstanding in appearance, and truly a genius."

Is there any unquestionable talent in the world?

Lü Meng said, "Although he thought little of the consequences and killed recklessly, he finally restrained himself. How can he be just a general?"

The translation is: He is always better than a military general, right?

The meaning of praise and blame is obvious, Chen Shou can be regarded as an old hermaphrodite.

There is no need to elaborate on the talents of Zhou Yu and Lu Su. The strategy of dividing the world into two and the strategy of staying on the couch are explained clearly and completely.

And what is the strategy offered by Lu Meng? He believed that as long as he could capture Jingzhou, "Why worry about Cao, why rely on Yu?"

There are no follow-up plans or blueprints. Anyway, just stand out and stick to it.

He also flattered Sun Quan: Guan Yu could take a boat down the river to attack us, but he hasn't attacked us so far, all thanks to the Supreme Saint.

This is basically a measure of self-reliance. It can also be seen in the same way that if Lu Meng and Guan Yu were to change places, the first thing Lu Meng would do would be to go down the river and stab his allies in the back.

The book "Military Strategies of Chinese Dynasties" published by our modern People's Liberation Army commented on Lu Meng:

From studying, one can only learn deceit and strategy, but not the talents and strategies to stabilize a country.

And Lu Meng's short-sighted operation is similar to India after the founding of our country.

Therefore, our teacher lamented: I have thought about it for ten days and ten nights, but I still can’t figure out why India wants to attack us.

New China did not hesitate to defend its dignity and territory. At the cost of the sacrifice of more than 700 People's Liberation Army troops, it took 32 days to annihilate three Indian brigades, and killed and wounded more than 10,000 enemies.

As a result, India has lived in peace for sixty years, vividly interpreting the teacher's wise saying:

“Seek unity through struggle and unity will survive; seek unity through compromise and unity will perish.”]

This last sentence made Pang Tong's eyes burst with praise and admiration. He patted Zhuge Liang vigorously on the shoulder and said:

"Kong Ming, you should keep this in mind!"

"Allies are not relatives and friends, how can there be such a compromise?"

"Tolerance is called an ally, but it is actually a domestic slave!"

Kong Ming carefully transcribed these words. Although he didn't know the meaning of unity, it was still in Chinese, and he could guess the meaning vaguely. For a moment, he just felt that he had learned something again, and that he had lost another shortcoming.

Kong Ming also has his own understanding of this sentence:

"Its words may seem to be talking about country to country, but in fact, they are applicable to neighboring countries and rural areas, as well as to foreign countries."

"Just like Nan Zhong's determination is showing favors, how come it's not the same principle?"

Pang Tong curled his lips and felt a little envious of Kong Ming's brain for a moment. He really didn't think that much.

"The descendants of this generation are all tough men, they are really good at fighting!" Zhang Fei admired sincerely.

When talking about this part of the light screen, it was replaced by a map. They could see dense red and blue arrows biting each other on the map.

Among them, the red arrow moved forward inexorably, shattering the blue marching line and driving straight into its hinterland.

"In less than a month, we will destroy his army and approach his capital. Entering his country will be like entering an uninhabited country!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help but stand up. As a military general, he wished he could not participate in such a battle in person!

"I just don't know how many enemy troops there are in this brigade?"

Zhang Song shook his head and said: "Lu Junzi's "History of Qi" said that two hundred people are pawns, two thousand people are brigade, and ten thousand people are an army."

Kong Ming was more cautious and said:

"There are many differences between ancient and modern times, let alone foreign countries, but I think it should be more than 2,000 people and less than 10,000 people."

"Such military exploits can be called bravery! It's just..."

During this period, Kong Ming had also calculated the founding date of future generations, and could calculate the year of subsequent generations based on the anniversary of his lord's death.

But it should be more than seventy years, why is it said that India has only lived in peace for more than sixty years?

"More than seven hundred good men!" Zhao Yun sighed, then regretted:

"Later generations will be surrounded by powerful enemies, but such a record can only force the other side to compromise."

"If the Han and Tang Dynasties achieve this feat, their countries will be destroyed!"

Zhao Yun's words were firm, and boundless desire arose in his heart.

…

While Hou Junji and others were still guessing what kind of country India was, Changsun Wuji had already been very discerning and pushed over the most cherished map of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The map of the light curtain was paired with Li Shimin's map, and supplemented by text explanations, I finally understood it.

"Today we realize how big the world is!" Wei Zheng threw himself in front of Li Shimin's map, his face full of fascination:

"This is a true national treasure!"

"How many countries can there be in such a vast land?"

Hou Junji calmed down, and the general's thinking instantly took over:

"Is there a strong enemy? Is there such a thing as India, which is not willing to submit to thieves?"

Li Shimin smiled easily. Wei Zheng's title of "national treasure" reminded him of the thing called giant panda.

Otherwise... let Jiannan Road present a pair of giant pandas?

He said nonchalantly: "Thousands of years later, China will be the enemy of the world, including France, Germany, Britain and other countries, which are unethical and untrustworthy, and there are Japanese slaves who have repeatedly invaded."

Hou Junji was thinking, while Wei Zheng had already seen the two words "Japanese slaves" circled by Li Shimin in red.

"Is the edict issued by your majesty half a year ago to fight against the Japanese slaves?"

Li Shimin nodded, and then planned to see what Wei Zheng was talking about.

"Your majesty is wise and powerful!" Wei Zheng bowed and proposed a suggestion:

"Your majesty, why don't you change all the navy to the sea? There are Japanese slaves in the east and Sindhu in the west. They all rely on the navy soldiers to promote the benevolent government of our Tang Dynasty."

Is this Wei Zheng? Li Shimin widened his eyes.

Wei Zheng continued:

"Your Majesty has such a magical power, and is also known as the greatest emperor in the history. You should reflect on yourself and govern diligently at all times, so that you will not let down the kindness of the magical power."

Li Shimin nodded, that's right.

I was a little curious about the military books of later generations. I wonder how they would judge him?

[Sun Quan's later years were relatively simpler, because after Yiling, he had fallen into a dilemma of a strong guest and a weak host.

It's not that Sun Quan didn't want to do anything, such as wanting to attack Yizhou and Zhuya (now Taiwan and Hainan), and wanting to cross the sea to attack Gongsun Yuan.

But Lu Xun, the general, opposed it, and in the end Sun Quan couldn't do anything.

From a historical perspective, Sun Quan was the most cowardly emperor in the late Han Dynasty.

The old ministers relied on their friendship with Sun Ce and Sun Jian to get ahead, and Sun Quan had to greet them with a smile.

The Jiangdong tycoons had an attitude of "the stinky Jiangbei came to our Jiangdong to beg for food", and Sun Quan had to bend down to win them over.

In a dilemma, after the death of the crown prince Sun Deng, whom he had cultivated with all his efforts, Sun Quan simply played a game of the two palaces.

He threw out two children to separate the crown prince and the prince of Lu, watched coldly as the four ministers of the four surnames took sides and criticized each other, and then killed a person and felt refreshed.

Sun Quan, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, passed away in the second year after the end of the two palaces, and was buried in Jiangling.

Another point worth praising about Sun Quan's tomb is that the location is well chosen. The Meihua Mountain where Jiangling is located is gravel, which is very hard.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty built the mausoleum, it was originally intended to level Sun Quan's tomb, but the means at that time could not handle this kind of rock.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was praised by the teacher for his military skills second only to Erfeng, said generously: Sun Quan is also a good man, let him stay to watch the gate for me.

Old Zhu was generous, but the craftsmen at that time took the trouble to move Sun Quan's stone Qilin and dismantle the tomb.

In the Qing Dynasty, Sun Quan's descendants bought the back garden when Zhu Yuanzhang was the King of Wu to grow vegetables on it in revenge.

You let my ancestors guard the tomb, and I started construction in your palace, which is also a tit-for-tat.

The tomb of Sun Quan is now a tourist attraction. There was an interesting thing a few days ago:

A college entrance examination student brought a little tiger figurine, tiger skin roll cake, Hefei map, and admission letter from USTC to pay tribute to Sun Zhongmou.

USTC is one of the top universities in our country, and its campus is located in Hefei.

I hope that if Brother Zhongmou knows about it, he will smile. 】

Zhang Fei looked a little sad. He guessed that there was probably nothing to say about Zhang Fei's tomb.

Liu Bei thought about his Huiling Mausoleum and was happier.

But I still have to speak up for the ancestors:

"Li Shimin is the best at fighting, but Gaozu is not even the second?"

Kong Ming comforted him: "My lord, you can see from the previous Tiangong Kaiwu that there will be more and more farmland in the future, and the grain output will be higher and higher."

"With a wider land and more people, it will be more difficult to lead the army to pacify the world."

Mi Zhu sighed in a low voice:

"Isn't Sun Hou also paying back in his old age?"

"Indeed." Pang Tong shook his head, he also understood:

"Breaking the alliance and defending the status quo, how can you manage the powerful families?"

Pang Tong could guess in his heart: Jiangdong must not be taken by the four surnames.

"But how could Lord Sun have such drastic measures in his later years?"

Liu Bei looked at the picture of Sun Quan's tomb on the screen, and at a cute little tiger placed in front of the tomb:

"Sun Quan liked to shoot tigers when he was young... It seems that he is not an outlier in the Sun family, but just suppresses this bravery in his heart."

As he spoke, Liu Bei suddenly remembered the passionate Mrs. Sun in private, who was worthy of being a child of the Sun family.

He also remembered Sun Polu, who he had mentioned before. When they met, he never thought that he would marry his daughter one day?

The screen was big enough, and Kong Ming's eyesight was good enough. Kong Ming squinted slightly and read the notice in the picture:

"Admission notice of the University of Science and Technology...Student, you are admitted to our school..."

"Science and technology?" Kong Ming was infinitely fascinated for a while.

Is this the Imperial College of later generations? It does not teach classics, but studies science and technology.

Since it is a later school, the "Heavenly Creations" that should be easily accessible should not be considered profound in its school.

It would be great if I could learn from it! This is Kong Ming's most sincere thought.

"Entering university after the college entrance examination..." Pang Tong was also full of thoughts at the same time.

In this way, only talents are selected, and there is no trouble from the big families.

I think Sun Hou would be very envious if he knew about this.

I saw the criticism yesterday, and discussed it with the editor after writing it today, and then postponed the manuscript to rewrite it, so it is late, and the second update is in progress.
