Chapter 1767 It's like the past (knife edge)
"Educate?" Yan Rou stopped, unconsciously let go of the knife ring, crossed her fingers, hugged her in front of her abdomen, and was in a daze.
Taishi Ci also stopped, held his hands, turned around slowly, facing Yan Rou with sincere and calm eyes. "Wu Hou thought that life on the grassland is difficult, and money and food cannot be saved by itself without the Central Plains, but money and food in the Central Plains are also the hard-working income of the people. It can be used for the soldiers on the frontier and cannot be used to bribe the enemy. It is really stupid to save food from the gap between the teeth but fatten tigers and wolves and commit suicide. Brother Yan, what do you think?"
Yan Rou thought something, but did not answer. This was the answer he did not expect. Although he didn't know whether it was true or false, one thing was clear, what Liu Bei said was untrue. As soon as he thought about this, his anger could not help but surged, and the blue veins at the corners of his eyes were exposed. Taishi Ci saw it sincerely and secretly raised his vigilance to prevent Yan Xing from hurting others. He showed regret in his eyes and sighed softly.
"Brother Yan, it is inevitable that you and I will misunderstand when we first met. I am from Qingzhou. You were born in Youzhou. It is understandable that you have different positions. A gentleman is harmonious but different. Although I dare not call myself a gentleman, I believe that Wu Hou is a gentleman. I am not good at speaking. If you still have any doubts, you can ask him in person if you have the opportunity in the future..."
Yan Rou woke up and knew that Taishi Ci had misunderstood, so he quickly bowed and said, "Brother Taishi, you explained it very clearly. Rou was taught and was not grateful. He was mistaken before, so he offended Brother Taishi. Please forgive me for your crime."
Taishi Ci was shocked, but did not ask, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Yan, the man in Yan, is open-minded and just tell the misunderstanding. Why don't you invite me to sit in your camp?"
Yan Rou bowed again and bowed to the end. "The camp is narrow and dare not serve guests. Please come back for a while, and let me prepare for it. I will go to your camp to see you later. I will ask Brother Taishi to give me some advice at that time."
Taishici raised his eyebrows slightly. Yan Rou wanted to visit his camp on his own initiative. This was to relieve his grievances and make friends and make formal friendships, so he naturally couldn't ask for it. "Then I'd better obey my orders than respect, and wait for Brother Yan in the camp."
"Sure, certain." Yan Rou bowed again.
Taishi Ci was not humble, and returned the courtesy and turned around and left. Yan Rou kept holding her hands and watched Taishi Ci walk away. Then she slowly stood up and felt deeply moved. Taishi Ci was open-minded and a real man in the world. If he could regard this person as a general, the Marquis of Wu Sun Ce would not be an ordinary person. In comparison, Liu Bei's character was much worse. Sun Ce made a lot of efforts to be able to do today, and now he sent Taishi Ci to assist him in the battle, but he said bad things about Sun Ce behind his back, so there was no bottom line. Joining with such a person is simply the greatest shame.
Yan Rou returned to the camp, picked up two good horses, changed into clothes, and brought two personal guards to Taishi Ci's camp to pay homage. Taishi Ci had been waiting for a long time, and went to the camp gate to greet him, welcomed Yan Rou in, and greeted him again. Yan Rou presented the horse, and Taishi Ci gave him a knife and a set of armor. Yan Rou couldn't put it down. The two drank and joked, competed and talked about their skills, and fell in love with her at first sight.
During the meal, Yan Rou asked Sun Ce in detail about his strategy of transforming Hu, with a sincere attitude. He was a Han Chinese and lived on the grassland for more than ten years and had friendships with many Xianbei and Wuhuan people. If Taishici came just for killing, he would definitely not agree, but Taishici came for the long-term stability of the border, and he had no reason to object. As a native of Youzhou, he had seen a lot of killing and blood, and he had always thought about the way of getting along with the Han and Hu, so he supported Liu Yu's pacification strategy. He also knew in his heart that killing was not a fundamental solution, and pacification was not a long-term solution. Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were both biased, and he supported Liu Yu only to take the minority of the two evils. Now Sun Ce wanted to implement the method of transforming Hu, educate the people of the Hu people, and use the two strategies of expropriation and pacification, which at least sounded more reasonable.
On the way to Youzhou, Taishici had talked with Sun Ce many times that how to treat the Hu people was the key. This strategy to transform Hu people was the result of their repeated discussions. It could not even be said of which person's idea, but only shared wisdom. Sun Ce believed that the Hu people on the grassland were invincible. The Donghu people declined, there were the Huns, the Huns, and the Xianbei people and the Wuhuans, but comfort was not a long-term solution. The pacification policy for more than a hundred years is a clear proof that the court spent less money and saved the troubles, but the Huns and Xianbei people became increasingly large, which was an indisputable fact. Most of Bingzhou was occupied by the Huns, and Youzhou became a pasture that the Xianbei people would come to when they wanted to come. How could one day be peaceful?
But the method of Hua Hu is just a concept. No one can say whether it can be realized. As the saying goes, both kindness and power are used, and both suppression and pacification are used. Without strong force as a backing, the so-called Hua Hu will inevitably be wishful thinking in the end. The war in the Central Plains was not decided, and Sun Ceteng did not take action. Taishici almost entered Youzhou alone, with limited strength, and finding like-minded people became his top priority. In Sun Ce's Taishici's plan, Liu Bei was the first candidate, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun under his command were all rare generals. If he could join forces with Liu Bei, he would at least have a firm foothold in Youzhou.
Yan Rou was an accident, but it was obviously more suitable than Liu Bei. The reason was that he was more familiar with the grassland, not only familiar with human feelings, but also with geography. If he could turn him into an ally or even a comrade, it would undoubtedly be a great help to the implementation of the Youzhou strategy. Taishi Ci keenly seized the opportunity and started to just exchange cups with Yan Rou. As the conversation became deeper and deeper, he was a bit like calling brothers and heart-to-heart.
Yan Rou happened to be the best of the Han and Hu. He was trusted by the Hu people and valued by the Han people, but there was a slight difference between them. The Hu people trusted him because he was brave and wise, while the Han people valued him because he could get the power of the Hu people and use him because he was not because of his own fame and virtue. The Yan family was born in a humble family, and his youth was wandering on the grassland and had limited study. In comparison, the Hu people's affection was more sincere.
Yan Rou knew very well about this, but she was suffering from no one to say. Now that she met Taishi Ci, she met a soulmate. Both of them had suffered from the embarrassment caused by their background, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative. When it came to being moved, she couldn't help but sigh, and tears wet the hero's collar.
"There is a general around Wu Hou. He is surnamed Bowen and has a single name with Xing. His name is Yanming. He was originally from Jincheng, Liangzhou. He fell in love with Wu Hou and made many military achievements. Now he is in charge of Luoyang with Lu Zijing." Taishi Ci patted Yan Rou on the shoulder. "Wu Hou is in the world. If he gets the help of Bowen brothers, he will be able to help his great things and will not disappoint the Bowen brothers."
Yan Rou wiped her tears and said with a smile: "I am deeply honored to be friends with Brother Ziyi. How dare I get Longwang? Let me make some contributions and ask Brother Ziyi to recommend him." Yan Rou weighed the pros and conscientiously said to Taishi Ci: "Brother Ziyi, a real man is open and honest. He shouldn't have been talking about others behind his back, but I still want to remind you if there is something."
Taishici smiled slightly and shook his hand. "Bowen, I appreciate your kindness, so you don't have to taint your mood for some people."
Yan Rou was surprised. "Brother Ziyi, do you... know who I am talking about?"
Taishici laughed. "I'm going to tell you, when the Marquis of Wu saw him for the first time, he gave him a judgment. So far, I think every word that Marquis of Wu is true, and there is no error in a word."
Yan Rou took a breath of air conditioning. "Since that's the case, why did Mr. Wu order you to help him?"
