Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

"What does Gongming want to say?" Cao Cao asked.

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "Although I know Taishi Gongshu and Hanshu, I have never read them in depth, so I dare not make judgments."

"The prime minister also likes Han books?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Those are the works of predecessors after all, but I like "Han Ji" written by Xun Yue more."

Everyone understood what Cao Cao said.

Only Dian Wei thought that Cao Cao really liked "Han Ji".

But in fact, almost all the writings in "Han Ji" are excerpts from "Han Shu".

Then why did Cao Cao say that he likes "Han Ji" instead of "Han Shu"?

The reason is very simple. The reason why "Han Ji" appeared was because the current Emperor Xian Liu Xie felt that "Han Shu" was too blunt and difficult to understand, so he asked Xun Yue to recopy "Han Shu" in the style of "Zuo Zhuan".

There are many ancient texts in Hanshu, and many of these ancient texts are from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even from the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, if you want to study, you must pay close attention to the words.

Just like people today read classical Chinese.

But the reason why "Hanshu" pleases scholars and celebrities is precisely because of its jerky and difficult articles.

Different opinions on a sentence of a book can sometimes be discussed by future generations for several years or even decades, and if everyone agrees, it will become famous.

That's why.

"For history books, the best thing is to be simple and clear. History books are not four books and five classics, articles that teach people virtue and how to think." Jiang Ji thought for a moment.

……

1 Sixty Chapters of Taishi Gongshu

Of course this is not the real reason.

Cao Cao said: "Hanshu only records the history of half of the Han Dynasty, although there are also works such as "List of Ancient and Modern Characters"."

"However, Ban Gu divided the famous figures from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Qin and Chu Dynasties into four categories and nine grades according to the standard of Confucianism. This is really displeasing."

"Although Confucianism is the mainstream today, there are still hundreds of schools of thought contending in the world. There is no right or wrong. Even if Confucius was alive, he would not use Confucianism to frame others."

"Nowadays, scholars are all bound by Confucianism, so they are not talented. Only by jumping out of the framework of Confucianism can they become famous scholars in the world."

"Such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, etc.!"

After hearing this, Dian Wei just wanted to sleep.

Naturally, Cao Cao's words were not addressed to him, but to other people present.

"The prime minister's words are like enlightenment, I have been taught!" Zhang Liao immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

So do the rest.

Cao Cao looked at Jiang Ji and said, "Although Zitong, you may not be imprisoned by Confucian morality, and you have your own ideas in your heart, but many aspects of you are consistent with Confucianism."

"While not abandoning Confucianism, gathering the strengths of a hundred schools of thought is exactly the way you will go in the future."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Jiang Ji said.

Jiang Ji was a great talent compared with Xun Yu and others in the future, but he was deceived by Sima Yi and died in the end.

Just because he believed in the Confucian code of conduct more, he thought that other people did the same, but he underestimated Sima Yi's ambition and cruelty.

Perhaps after Cao Cao's point, he will not make future mistakes again, but maybe he will continue as before.

Cao Cao continued: "The reason why the "Hanshu" has caused so many controversies, in my opinion, is not all due to Confucianism, but the most important one is because Ban Gu has too little knowledge."

If other people say this sentence, they will definitely attract ridicule.

But Cao Cao won't, he has the qualifications to make such an evaluation.

"It is precisely because he has too little knowledge that he makes "Hanshu" not so easy to understand. It is like writing a poem. A poem that cannot make others feel the artistic conception is naturally a bad poem."

"In my opinion, "Hanshu" is just a supplement to "Taishigongshu" for the Han Dynasty."

""Han Shu" was born out of 65 chapters of "Tai Shi Gong Shu Biography" written by Ban Gu and his father Ban Biao."

"The writing method of "Tai Shi Gong Shu" is widely used in "Han Shu"."

"In order to make the "Hanshu" look different from the "Taishigongshu", Ban Gu deliberately made differences. This is the reason why his text is difficult to understand."

The reason why Cao Cao has such insights into "Han Shu" is because he has read "Han Shu" at least ten times.

This is especially true for Shi Ji.

""Tai Shi Gong Shu" records a total of more than 3000 years of history from the age of the Yellow Emperor in ancient legends to the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"The whole book has 52 characters, while the Hanshu has 80 characters. The records of more than 200 years are not only more than the records of 3000 years, but also more difficult to understand. Therefore, I do not respect the "Hanshu"."

"Mr. Zichang is the one who possesses the extraordinary talents of ancient times, and most of the latecomers learn from him, and it can only be said that they are not good at learning."

Cao Cao sighed: "Xun Yue is now over sixty years old, if he is given another 20 years, he may not be able to write a history book that is better than "Han Shu"."

Zhang Liao knew about Xun Yue's talent and learning. He was Xun Yu's elder brother. His talent and knowledge were not inferior to Xun Yu's, but he was not proficient in planning and could not plan things well.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would definitely reuse him instead of making him just a secretary and supervisor.

Le Jin said: "So the prime minister thinks the answer is "Tai Shi Gong Shu"?"

He may not really be convinced of what Cao Cao said when he said such words.

The so-called Wen Wu first Wu Wu second is the case.

Everyone has a literary stele in their hearts, just like Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism and other schools of thought contend with each other.

He said "the prime minister thinks", but he doesn't think so.

Cao Cao was noncommittal.

But Le Jin was full of vigor, looked at the sky and asked: "Then let someone prove it for the prime minister!"

Le Jin has the humility of a literati and the arrogance of a warrior. He just said to the sky: "The "Tai Shi Gong Shu" created by Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty is called the first in history books."

No one else can stop it.

The answer to this question is obvious, but there may be lost historical books that are better than Tai Shi Gong Shu.

But this "maybe" is really small.

If someone really spends more than ten years writing a history book that is more perfect than "Tai Shi Gong Shu", then it is absolutely impossible for a single sentence to disappear in the long river of time.

The sky text exploded.

In an instant, he knew that the question had been answered correctly.

【Congratulations for the correct answer】

["Taishi Gongshu" created by Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty is called the first history book! 】

The first of the history books.

"Sure enough, it's the book of Tai Shi Gong." Many students like the carp crossing the river just feel happy and fascinated. History books like "Tai Shi Gong Shu" will definitely be passed down through the ages.

Along with the "Tai Shi Gong Shu", the name of Sima Qian will also be known to everyone along with the history of mankind.

Someone said: "It's not "Han Ji"."

The "Han Ji" excerpted by Xun Yue was also widely circulated in this era, but most of the young students were familiar with it.

After they are familiar with the "Han Ji", they turn to study "Han Shu", which is easier.

Moreover, "Tai Shi Gong Shu" and "Han Shu" are too long, and it is very difficult to extract them, so there are not many copies even in the whole world.

Except for the royal family, there are only those colleges, and the private ones are all loose editions, not complete volumes.

After seeing the writing in the sky, a young boy surrounded the teacher and said, "Sir, tell us about the Taishi Gongshu."

The older gentleman got a little impatient with the quarrel, and finally shook his head and sighed slightly: "Okay, this Tai Shi Gong Shu will start with the Five Emperors."

"Yellow Emperor, son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan..."

That's right!

Le Jin was not surprised either.

He said: "Since it is a history book, it must focus on history. Although the Han Shu has many subtleties, the 3000-year record in the Tai Shi Gong Shu is of great significance."

"Therefore, Taishi Gongshu won the first place, and I am speechless."

"But I still think Hanshu is better!"

After everyone heard the words, they realized that Le Jin already had the answer in his heart, and it wasn't completely out of whim.

Zhang Liao let out a long breath.

Cao Cao said sternly: "Even so, you can't risk yourself. Do you know how it will affect the whole battle situation and the whole world if you die?"

Le Jin was stunned, he didn't expect Cao Cao to put himself and the whole world together.

"The prime minister is serious!"

"Not to mention too much, Wen Qian, you have fought with me for nearly 20 years, as have Wen Yuan, Gong Ming, and Jun Yi. The stability of this world is due to your credit."

"If I lost a right-hand man like you, how could I, Cao Cao He De, have the achievements I have today?"

"It's a pity that Wen Ze can't see that the world will be unified in the future, and the country will be stable!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Le Jin lost his voice, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Prime Minister, please punish Jin for the stupid things he did!"

……

Chapter 161 Surrounded!

Punishment is naturally impossible to punish.

Le Jin is now injured, if the real stick is responsible for playing good or bad, Cao Cao himself will feel distressed.

Jiang Ji had heard that Cao Cao loved talents like his life, but he never imagined that he would be able to do so.

Although it sounded a little heavy-handed, the words of protection for Le Jin and the others were beyond words.

Cao Cao didn't talk about it again, and asked about the situation of Jiangdong Bing.

Jiang Ji replied: "I have been sending people to harass, and the Jiangdong army seems to be getting more and more irritable."

"The previous question caused some internal problems among them. The reason why no one can compete with us for the answer in the sky is because Zhou Yu and the others are already too busy."

They have delayed for such a long time for analysis, logically speaking, the people in the Jiangdong Army have a chance to take the lead.

But it didn't.

Moreover, there seemed to be no movement in the Jiangdong Army.

Cao Cao agreed with Jiang Ji's judgment and said, "In this way, this time is our best opportunity to attack."

"Jiangdong Army was harassed, mentally ill, and then questioned Sun Quan because of the analysis."

"Of course we can't underestimate our opponents. Maybe Zhou Yu has already solved this problem and is waiting for us to attack."

The generals nodded.

There is also this possibility, after all, they have already experienced Zhou Yu's strategy when he was in Jingzhou.

"Prime Minister, I request to organize a feint attack to find out the reality of the Jiangdong Army." Zhang He begged for orders.

The current situation is actually beneficial to Cao Cao.

Since it is beneficial, it should not take risks.

The feint attack proposed by Zhang Yun was just to find out the truth. If the Jiangdong Army really had problems, then they could attack on a large scale.

Of course, whether the feint attack will make the Jiangdong army become united with the enemy is beyond their consideration. They are the defenders, not the attackers.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao agreed, and Zhang Yun immediately went out to order troops.

Leading only 5000 troops, Zhang He went out from the south gate and went straight to the Jiangdong army camp.

At this time, the analysis has also come out.
