Chapter 87
After the difficulties in Dongjun were resolved, Zhong Ping enjoyed a few days of peaceful life, sleeping until he woke up naturally every day, teaching Cao Ang his homework in the afternoon, and he soon recovered his energy.

This year's rainy season is not long. After dozens of days of torrential rain in Tobuyang, it is followed by a good season with clear wind and clear air.

Between the fields, stubbles of wheat stalks are spread on the ground, and the harvested wheat is exposed to the sun for several hours to remove the moisture and reduce the growth of mold.

Farmers wield wooden shovels, raise the grains high, use the wind to blow off the husks and dust, and separate the clean grains.

"Sir, I talked about "Guanzi" yesterday, and there is a section in "The Herdsmen": "The warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace."

"Ang read "The Analects of Confucius", but said: 'The people can teach the way, but not know it; the people can teach the way, but not force it', what is the explanation?"

Cao Ang followed Zhongping's footsteps and walked among the fields.

Zhong Ping thought for a moment, Cao Ang said a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius", and he remembered that the later version was "The people can make it so that they can't make it know".

"The way of the sage is far-reaching, and it is not easy for people to know. The people's nature is good, so they can be used. The people's nature is not all clear, and they should be educated, open their wisdom, and develop their hearts. Therefore, 'the people can be made, let them be; they cannot be made, Know it'."

When the morality and behavior of the people conform to the requirements of "Tao" and "Li", let them go without interfering with them.

If the morality and behavior of the people do not conform to the requirements of "Tao" and "Li", we should tell him, guide him, and carry out education so that they understand (the reason).

Zhong Ping tore off a piece of weed and weaved it deftly with his fingers. After a while, a lifelike grasshopper appeared in his hand.

"No, here it is."

"Sir, it's really simple and natural." Cao Ang couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't figure out why Zhongping, who had taught the scriptures so well, suddenly changed to make up toys that only children like.

However, upon closer inspection, this grasshopper is majestic and really cute.

Cao Ang stuffed it into his arms.

"Lao Tzu thinks that the goodness of the ancients is the way, not to understand the people, but to be foolish. The people are difficult to govern because of their wisdom. What do you think?"

Zhong Ping just smiled: "The way of a sage, don't dare to talk about it."

Cao Ang knew what Zhong Ping said, and he didn't agree with what Lao Tzu said.

"I want to study "Laozi"?" Zhong Ping was a little surprised. Because of Cao Ang's dislike of classics, he was able to study "Laozi" patiently, which really made Zhong Ping find it hard to understand.

"Great-grandfather once participated in the compilation of "Lao Zi Ming"."

Grandfather, isn't it Boss Cao's grandfather Cao Teng?
That's right, didn't Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty just believe in Huang-Lao Taoism?No wonder Cao Ang would study "Lao Tzu", it turned out to be the source of family learning.

After Zhong Ping figured this out, he didn't ask any more questions, and started chatting with Cao Ang instead.

"Uncle is busy with retting and making green materials recently, and trading with the Huns?"

After all, it was the torrential rain. Although Zhong Ping managed to keep more than half of the annual harvest, there was still a lot of green wheat that was harvested before it matured.

If the trade with the Xiongnu is successful, not only can this batch of green wheat be processed, but also horses and livestock can be exchanged for later use.

Cao Ang curled his lips: "The Xiongnu, the wolves are also profitable, how can they not allow it?"

"The Xiongnu are also short of food. I heard from my uncle that a lot of cattle and sheep have been slaughtered in the past few months, and there is still too much left over for breeding, and there is not even enough forage."

"It's the right time to trade green materials with them at this time." Cao Ang said after a pause, looking at Zhong Ping with indescribable eyes, "Sir, isn't this also in your expectation?"

Chong said in all sincerity that my surname is Chong, but not Zhuge, so what do I know?

"It's just a coincidence. Could 'Uncle' be General Xiahou?"

Zhong Ping changed the subject very smoothly, pretending not to see Cao Ang's eyes filled with the words "I don't believe it".

Cao Ang thought it was a coincidence?This gentleman can even calculate the celestial phenomena, and he can also know the change of the wind direction in advance. How could it be possible that the Xiongnu was short of fodder?

Mister must be too humble, I understand!

Zhong Ping didn't know that Le Jin's lament was heard by the soldiers that day, and he passed it on ten to ten times, and his appearance has completely changed...

"It's that Uncle Xiahou who bet against you."

Cao Ang directly sold Xiahou Dun upside down.

Zhong Ping thought of how Xiahou Dun blushed and loudly admitted his mistake on the city wall after he and Le Jin returned to the city with the surrendered troops, and he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Thinking about Xiahou Dun's invitation to trade with the Huns, I'm afraid it has something to do with it.

After all, although Sui Gu surrendered, there were not a few Black Mountain Army who fled that day, and Yu Du in Wei County hadn't moved yet, but if he moved, it would inevitably be another trouble.

Xiahoudun, as a Sima, is also the general in charge of the army, so it is not appropriate to leave now.

Zhong Ping believed that Cao Cao would not be ignorant of this, and still chose to send the other party out of Dongjun. Although it was intended to alleviate the embarrassment of the two of them, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to poison.

According to what Sui Gu said, there were only [-] soldiers under his command, and the extra [-] were Commander Bai Rao.

Those 5 people were the ones who cheated Xi Zhicai that day.

According to Zhong Pingyuan's previous plan, Suigu captured Shen County, and after the troops were divided and garrisoned, there were only 5 to [-] people who attacked Dongwuyang. Can.

However, Zhong Ping did not expect that the 8 people under Suigu's leadership would choose to attack with the whole army, abandon Shen County, go deep into the mountains and forests, and go directly through the mountains outside Cangpo to Luoshui and Bairao.

This move is really outrageous, not to mention Zhongping, even Cao Cao in Yangping didn't expect it.

If it weren't for Zhongping's quick wit to respond, it's really hard to say what the situation is like today.

Afterwards, Zhong Ping also asked Sui Gu why he didn't defend the city and joined forces with Bai Rao despite the heavy rain.

The answer Sui Gu gave was that he did the divination according to the doctrine, and the hexagram said that it was suitable to send troops, and then he would attack with the whole army, and then...

Success is free.

Zhongping, Zhongping is speechless.

"...It's a pity that the wind direction has changed suddenly and the weather is unfavorable. Otherwise, my brothers will shoot all arrows, will we see Tai Shiling again today?"

Sui Gu left an indignant sentence at the end, obviously blaming Tian Shi for the failure, and didn't feel that he was defeated by Zhong Ping.

Zhong Ping was taken aback when he heard the words, good guy, why did I suddenly change the direction of the wind, this thing will not be the best solution for Brother Tong again, is he secretly protecting my dog's life?

The more Zhong Ping thought about it, the more possible it became.

"Sir, sir?" Cao Ang couldn't respond calmly for a long time, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking. Su Dao said earlier that the Black Mountain Army had secretly linked up with the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and Sui Gu also said that this attack on Dongjun was to send a message of action for the Yellow Turbans in these two places."

Zhong Ping rubbed his temples, "How difficult is it to live a stable life? I just hope that the news will be delivered slowly, and it can be delayed until the next year..."
