Chapter 2182 Academic and Politics
After reviewing the "Lunheng Xue Zun", Cai Yong pointed out more than a hundred mistakes, including missing characters, derivation characters, or annotation errors. His words were very tactful, but the conclusions were very heartbreaking. He believed that this "Lunheng Xue Zun" was neither rigorous enough, nor had any new insights. Not only did he fail to reflect the essence of Wang Chong's thoughts, but he had more fallacies that were conservative.
Cai Yong finally gave a suggestion: re-read the betting.
Cai Yong's review opinion was in Sun Ce's hands, but he had not announced it to the public for a long time, and only let Zhang Hong and Yu Fan read it. As a result, Yu Fan became popular at the time and said that Cai Yong was intentional because the words he pointed out were mostly from the parts he provided, and that the original manuscript had been modified a lot. It was not clear whether it was Wang Chong's original text or his work. Now he used these manuscripts that could not distinguish the authenticity to criticize Sheng Xian and others' work, which naturally had ulterior motives.
The purpose is very clear. If they want to compete for control of the jade research project in Fuchun, they must at least get a share of the pie. This research project is large in scale and investment, and involves the right to rectify the reputation of the people of Jiangdong. It can be imagined that it must be a favorable moment. In the future, famous events will not be willing to stay out of it by scholars with some strength.
Cai Yong himself has a history task and may not be able to take time, but it is no problem to have a name or arrange a few Xiangyang College professors or students to participate in this project. As for Lu Kang, he believes that this is a matter for Wujun, and he can only be presided over by Wujunjun. He does not want Kuaiji people to interfere. He is not able to reject Sheng Xian from the front, so he has to question Sheng Xian's knowledge first.
In fact, the original manuscript of the book "Lunheng" is incomplete and mistakes are inevitable. Sheng Xian and others have done a lot of work. They cannot see the achievements, but are staring at the shortcomings. This is deliberately provoking trouble. If we follow this attitude, then Cai Yong's historical books can be criticized, and Lu Kang's articles are not without gaps, and everyone is almost the same.
Yu Fan was a little overstated, but his speculation was reasonable. Scholars are also mortals who are in the world, with selfishness, greed, fame and fortune. They all want it. Moreover, this is another major project that may rewrite the history of China, and no one wants to be an outsider. Lu Kang is like this, Cai Yong is like this, Sheng Xian is like this, and even Yu Fan is no exception. The general manager of the project has not decided for a long time, and it is related to the game between them.
Sun Ce was very troubled because of this. He had a very good knowledge, but his knowledge was limited, and he did not have the ability to debate with these great scholars, nor did he want to participate in it. It was something he tried his best to solve academic problems with political means. Both academic conferences in the Han Dynasty seriously weakened the academic content because of their strong political components, and finally made academic rigid, and also explored the foundation of the dynasty, and gradually entered a dead end.
The prehistoric civilizations in Fuchun and Yuhang area did not involve the foundation of the new empire, and at most it was just a gift on the face. If the Sun family was a descendant of the Sun family, the Sun family's Longxing land should be Qilu, what does it have to do with Wujun? The people of Jiangdong are tying tiger skins to make big banners, and they should engage in bundling sales, taking advantage of the opportunity of establishing a country to enhance Jiangdong's status.
He had some resentment towards Lu Kang because of this. Wu Huiyi was united, and even if he wanted to fight, he should be consistent with the outside world. Isn’t it an internal strife now?
Lu Xun smiled. "King, there may be some hidden secrets in this matter."
Sun Ce turned to look at Lu Xun and thought for a moment. "Tell me, listen."
"Did the king know that Tianshi said someone is coming to Jiangdong?"
"Tianshi Tao?" Sun Ce became alert. Tianshi Tao and Cao Cao had too deep connections. People from Tianshi Tao appeared in Jiangdong and were likely to do detailed work. Now they are participating in academic discussions, so they must be careful.
"Around last spring, a man named Wang Zhi appeared in Jianye. Later, he went to Wujun and often participated in some academic discussions. He first raised questions about "Lunheng" and Wang Zhongren himself. The reason is also very simple. Tianshidao believes in ghosts, but "Lunheng" believes that ghosts are monsters and have nothing to do with people, and Tianshidao is naturally unacceptable."
"There is such a thing?" Sun Ce was both curious and uneasy. Wang Zhi had been in Jiangdong for so long and caused so many things, why did Guo Jia not react at all? But thinking about it, Guo Jia's recent thoughts are all on the battlefield, and he probably doesn't have much energy to pay attention to these academic discussions. Moreover, he has always advocated academic freedom and should not interfere too much. Although Wang Zhi has the identity of Tianshidao, he only participated in academic discussions and did not engage in other sabotage activities, and generally did not attract the special attention of the assassination camp.
"Where is Wang Zhi?"
"He came to Jianye with me."
Sun Ce looked at Lu Xun, and Lu Xun smiled. "He took the initiative to see me, so he naturally wanted to see the king, so I brought him to Jianye in the future. If the king wants to see him, he can do it at any time."
Sun Ce nodded. Wang Zhi took the initiative to meet Lu Xun and asked him to recommend him, so he naturally wanted to talk about it. In this way, the relationship between Tianshidao and Cao Cao was not as strong as imagined, and it might be of the same as expected. Zhang Lu became the prefect of Ba County and launched the Banshiman battle, which greatly affected the balance of the battlefield in Hanzhong. Huang Zhong has not yet been able to break into the Hanzhong Plain and still needs Jingzhou to transport food, grass and supplies. As the front line extends, he goes up against the current, and the burden is very heavy. If he can contact Tianshidao, there may be a breakthrough in the battlefield in Hanzhong.
However, the alliance under the city is by no means the best. Wang Zhi is confident and forming an alliance is not easy.
"Boyan, what do you think of the battlefield in Hanzhong?"
"King, Fa is making waves in Guanzhong. If they control Guanzhong, echo Yizhou, and then get support from Liangzhou, they will become a confidant. I think we should take Hanzhong first and cut off the liaison between Guanzhong and Yizhou. Tianshidao wants to be together for both sides, so the king might as well promote his affairs and let Cao Cao, Wu Yi and Zhang Lu have a siege and defeat them one by one. In addition, since Ma Chao has surrendered, he might as well let Ma Teng lead his troops from Wudu to Hanzhong, threatening the western border of Hanzhong, making it difficult for Wu Yi to take care of the head and tail. If he can order the Zhou governor to restrain Cao Cao's main force and prevent him from going north, he will have three more chances of winning."
Sun Ce nodded with relief and signaled Lu Xun to continue saying that Lu Xun returned to Wujun to visit his relatives. Not only did he change his name, but he became much more introverted in just over a month, but his eyes were still sharp and he could see the key points of the entire situation at a glance.
The heroes have similar views. Zhou Yu in history has also made similar suggestions, but unfortunately he died young and had no chance to implement them.
In front of Sun Ce, Lu Xun had no need to hide and talk freely, and vaguely saw a bit of edge. He suggested that Sun Ce himself enter Luoyang and ordered Sun Yi and Zhong Yao to enter Wuguan, Lu Su went up the river, seized Hedong and Fengyi, and forced Guanzhong to divide the world. In particular, he blocked Cao Cao in Yizhou, so that he could not get involved in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and wait for death.
Sun Ce smiled bitterly. "Boyan, although your plan is good, it is difficult to implement. The negotiations in Jizhou are not going well, and there may be changes."
The negotiations in Jizhou were originally very smooth. Jiang Gan sent back news that Yuan Tan had no intention of fighting and was determined to seek peace. However, the Jizhou family was unwilling to give up and kept interfering with it, hoping to force Sun Ce to make concessions and retain their industries, especially their land.
People in Hebei are very persistent in land and would rather give up some of the industrial and commercial interests than keep the land, which puts the negotiations into a deadlock.
Land is the bottom line and the principle, and cannot be broken, otherwise the new policy will become a mirror flower in the water and there is no way to talk about it. Besides, Sun Ce did not think that the Jizhou family was qualified to bargain with him. If you can, you can talk, and if you can't, you can fight. He just needed some time to prepare.
However, before controlling Jizhou, it was obviously not realistic to send troops to Guanzhong, and at least it was impossible to do all its strength.
Lu Xun frowned. "Then we can only take Hanzhong first."
Sun Ce did not argue. He arranged for Lu Xun to stay by his side for the time being, and just took Zhen Xiang, Lu Ji and others in the area, and assisted Guo Jia in handling some affairs. The front line was too long, and Guo Jia was too busy. Although there were many military personnel in the Military Advisory Office, it was difficult to find the same talents as Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang, and most of the burden was on Guo Jia's shoulders alone.
Lu Xun received the order and went to meet Guo Jia. As soon as he left, Lu Ji hurried in with a few documents. When Lu Xun saw him, he hurriedly asked him to bow and bow. He was five years older than Lu Ji, but his seniority was a younger generation. Lu Ji accepted Lu Xun's gift calmly, nodded, and said, "Let's talk again." He kept walking straight upstairs, his childish face was full of the reserve of the elders.
The guard holding the halberd beside him could not help but laugh. Lu Xun was also a little embarrassed, so he pretended to be missing and walked along the curved corridor to the small building at the military advisory. After walking a few steps, he saw Guo Jia and Xun Yu standing side by side on the corridor, saying something. Lu Xun stopped and stood far away.
Xun Yu saw clearly and reminded Guo Jia who was facing Lu Xun. Guo Jia looked back and waved. Xun Yu bowed and looked at Lu Xun again before leaving. Lu Xun saw clearly, but his face did not change. He walked to Guo Jia slowly, bowed and explained Sun Ce's arrangements.
Guo Jia patted the railing and chuckled, "This name has been changed well, and it has less anger. Bo Yan, Lu Jijiu has great expectations for you."
Lu Xun said lightly: "In terms of knowledge, I am more talented than me. In terms of military use, I may be slightly better."
Guo Jia laughed "Puchi". "I take back what I said just now. Although you changed your name, you didn't change it, and you are still heroic." He paused and sighed, "That's right. What's the point of being together with Guangchen at a young age? Besides, Lu Jijiu has different words and deeds. He wants you to be humble and he will be more cruel than anyone else when he fights people."
Lu Xun was speechless. Guo Jia could tease Lu Kang, but he couldn't say a single word.
"Let's go, go to the Military Advisory Office to get to know the situation. I have received a lot of information recently. The governor Zhou of Yizhou is ready to go. There is an undercurrent in Jiang Ziyi, the Taishi of Youzhou, Ziyi, and the Guanzhong is even more quarrel. I can't sleep well during this period. Oh, I think how relaxed you and Kong Ming were when they were there. Now none of these young people can compare to you."
Guo Jia said while leading Lu Xun into the small building of the military advisory office. Several soldiers along the way could hear clearly, and their eyes were suddenly a little unkind. Lu Xun could see clearly, but there was no reaction at all, and followed Guo Jia into the hall silently.
Guo Jia clapped his hands. "Put down the work on his hands, come and meet Lu Duwei, and see what the real military advisor should look like."
Before he finished speaking, dozens of sharp eyes turned around and all fell on Lu Xun's face.
Lu Xun had no expression on his face.
