Zang Hong Ziyuan is also a native of Guangling Sheyang. Father Min, a famous soldier from Xiongnu, Zhongshan and Taiyuan. Hong is a big man, unique and a dutiful son. Choose three ministers to fill the county order; Langxie is the head of Ju 'an, Xiayi is in Donglai, and Wang Lang is in the East China Sea, where the flood is the head of the mountain. In the last years of Emperor Ling, he abandoned his official position and returned home. Juck Zhang, the satrap, invited Hong as the hero.
Zang Hongzi Zi Yuan is from Sheyang County, Guangling County. His father Zangmin once served as the Xiongnu corps commander, Zhongshan satrap, Taiyuan satrap and other official positions, and his voice was very loud when he was in office. Cang Hong, a burly and outstanding figure, was chosen as a good filial husband. At that time, the outstanding Langwai was selected and released as the county magistrate (Langwai of the Third Division refers to Lang under ENT, left and right corps commanders, and non-official doctoral children are not allowed to do it, all of which belong to Guangluxun), Zhao Yu of Langxie County is the county magistrate, Luyou of Donglai County is the county magistrate of Xiayi, Wang Lang of Donghai County is the county magistrate of Qiu Yan, and Cang Hong is the county magistrate of Qiu Ji (Zhao Yu, Luyou and Wang Lang are all). However, both Zhao Yu and Lu You ended badly. After arriving at Lingdi, Cang Hong gave up his official position and returned to his hometown. Zhang, the magistrate of Guangling County, invited him to be a Gongcao of Guangling County (equivalent to the current director).
Later, Dong Zhuo lost his emperor and tried to save the country. He advised Zhu Kezhang: "The Ming government (your respectful name is Sir) has been an official for generations, and now you two brothers (referring to Zhang Miao and Zhu Kezhang) are the chiefs of important places. Today, rebels and thieves have committed heinous crimes with impunity. This is the time when the righteous people in the world repay their kindness and serve! At present, Guangling County is sacred and inviolable, with rich officials and people. If we vigorously recruit soldiers, we will have 20 thousand troops at once. With this power, we can wipe out traitors and set an example for the whole world. This is the greatest meaning. " Juck Zhang very much agreed with Zhang's opinion, so he took it to Chen to discuss the matter with his younger brother, Chen Liu, the satrap of Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao has had this idea for a long time. When the Zizyphus jujuba meeting was held, Zhang Miao said to Juck Zhang, "I heard that when you were the magistrate of Guangling, you were not the only one to carry out administrative education, rewards and punishments, but always handed over to Cang Hong. What kind of person is Cang Hong? " Zhang Chaoyang replied, "Cang Hong is better than me in intelligence and mathematics, and I value him very much. People like Cang Hong are really a drop in the ocean. " Zhang Miao immediately met with Cang Hong. After the conversation, Zhang Miao found that Cang Hong was indeed a talented person, so he recommended Cang Hong to Liu Dai, the secretariat of Yanzhou, and Kong Zhou, the secretariat of Yuzhou. Liu Hekong therefore paid close attention to him.
"Miao also has a heart, and he will be in Zizyphus jujuba" is a bit strange. Zang Hongchuan's narrative is much smoother. According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, the dialogue between Zhang Miao and Cang Hong took place before the meeting of Ziziphus jujuba, while the History of the Three Kingdoms took place after the meeting of Ziziphus jujuba, so the Records of the Later Han Dynasty is more reasonable in narrative. I think the broken sentence of this sentence may be "I have always been interested in Zizyphus jujuba", but this statement is a bit strange from the context. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many people who reproduced the History of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Usually, the stories in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty are more interesting.
So we set up a wishing altar, and your secretariat and the county magistrate gave each other half way, and no one dared to stand out. So everyone voted for Cang Hong, and Cang Hong went to the altar to hold blood (the meaning of alliance and oath is different, alliance refers to ceremony and oath, and alliance has many vows, but oath does not necessarily have alliance. Generally speaking, the alliance of ancient people has four steps: killing sacrifices, carrying books, killing blood and burying deeds. Dig a hole in the cave to kill a sacrifice, take its left ear and put it on a plate, and take its blood and put it in the shelter. This is called killing a sacrifice. The person in charge declares the oath on reading, which is called a book; Drinking animal blood with the person in charge is called saving blood; Burying sacrifices and books in the soil is called burying deeds. The spirit of the ceremony is to invite the gods as witnesses-especially the land gods or river gods, so they often bury their vows in the soil or sink into the river. What Cang Hong said below is an oath, similar to today's oath. Finally, there will be words like "If I don't keep my oath, there will be lightning and thunder". The person in charge of the oath wants to cut off the left ear of the sacrifice and put it on a plate. Today, we use the word "lead by the ear" to describe a leader in a field, which comes from this. According to what Han et al. quoted in the History of the Three Kingdoms, the ancient champion is not necessarily the most powerful ally, but the doctor-corpse speaker alliance of a small country. Therefore, although Cang Hong is only the hero of Guangling County, he can still hold this post. ): "It's a pity that the Han Dynasty lost discipline, and the thief minister Dong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos to harm the son of heaven and abuse the people. Everyone in the world is afraid of national subjugation and subversion. Today, Yanzhou secretariat Liu Dai, Yuzhou secretariat Kong Zhou, Zhang Miao, Qiao Huan, Zhang Guangling, Juck Zhang, etc. Reconcile the righteous and go to the national disaster together. All our allies are Qi Xin's best efforts, so that even if they are killed, they will not be disloyal. Those who have this alliance in Chongqing will die and their children will be cut off. After the death of the emperor, the spirit of the ancestors was clear and clear, and it has been used for reference! " Cang Hong generous and excited tone, when it comes to the excitement of tears. Those who heard this oath at the scene at that time, even those uneducated and uneducated guys, were so excited that they wanted to die for their country.
Before long, no one from all walks of life presided over the attack, the food was exhausted, and the army was scattered. Zhu Ke sent Zang to advise against Gongsun Zan (the original intention of The Three Kingdoms should be that Gongsun Zan was captured and killed when he went north, but my translation is based on the Three Kingdoms, which is more fluent than the text of The Three Kingdoms, and the statement of The Three Kingdoms is also well-founded). When Cang Hong arrived in Hejian, he happened to meet Gongsun Zan, who was at war with Yuan Shao's two armies, and could not continue to travel northward, so he had to run to Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao saw it, he also valued him very much, so he dug it from Juck Zhang (at that time, it was normal for men to turn around casually if you wanted. For example, when Yuan Shao befriended Cao Cao, Yuan Shao sent Zhu Ling to work for Cao Cao, and then Zhu Ling didn't want to go back. So Cang Hong was poached by Yuan Shao, which is not a defect). At this moment, the secretariat of Qingzhou Jiao died, and Yuan Shaopai managed Qingzhou to appease Jiao and other ministries. During his two years as the secretariat of Qingzhou in Cang Hong, he cleaned the public order, and the rebels, especially the Yellow Scarf, fled far away. Yuan Shao marveled at Cang Hong's talent and transferred him to Dongjun as a magistrate, where he ruled Dongwuyang.
When the Book of the Later Han Dynasty mentioned this passage, it was written as follows: "In the second year of Cang Hong, Yuan Shao was afraid of his ability and moved to Dongjun County, with its capital in Dongwuyang." At that time, the situation in Qingzhou was quite delicate. Although Yuan Shao sent Cang Hong to govern Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan also sent Tian Ji to be the secretariat of Qingzhou, and both teams * * * seized the ownership of Qingzhou (for example, Liu Bei was a plain facies at that time, directly under the command of Tian Ji, and Zanghong could not control him). Therefore, Lombardi attaches great importance to Cang Hong. Two years later, the situation in Qingzhou was generally stable, and Cang Hong was not Yuan Shao's clique. Besides, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao fell out at that time. Based on the alliance position with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao should not reuse Zhang Miao, but simply replace Cang Hong. "Yuan Shao's fear ability" means that although Cang Hong is highly valued by Yuan Shao, he is always close in appearance, thus laying a distant foundation for the two to meet in the future. No one except Yuan Shao himself knows whether Yuan Shao is afraid of Cang Hong, so Chen Shou doesn't write books. This is the rigor of the History of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the place where the History of the Three Kingdoms is not as good as that of the later Han Dynasty. Chen Shou's preciseness is of course necessary in the writing of history books, but a fascinating historical work often needs the subjective opinions of many authors rather than simple factual statements.
Cao Cao surrounded Juck Zhang in Qiu Yong, and Juck Zhang said, "Maybe only Cang Hong will come to save me!" People think that Yuan Shao has a very close relationship with Cao Cao, and Cang Hong is highly valued by Yuan Shao, so he won't ruin his future and make a big disaster for nothing. Juck Zhang said, "Zi Yuan is a righteous man on earth and never forgets his roots. But I was afraid of being tied by Yuan Shao, and it was too late to save me. " Hearing that Juck Zhang was besieged, he cried barefoot and ordered the troops to get ready. He also asked Yuan Shao for reinforcements and asked Yuan Shao to let him go, but Yuan Shao never let Cang Hong go to the rescue, so Juck Zhang's whole family was killed by Cao Cao. Cang Hong therefore resented Yuan Shao ("resentment" and "hate" have different meanings in ancient and modern times. Today's hate uses the ancient "resentment", and the ancient "hate" means regret today. For example, Jiang Yan's "Hate Fu" does not mean who Jiang Yan hates, but lists many regrettable things in ancient and modern times. Jiang Yan's other sentence, the first sentence: "Those who are ecstatic just leave", I believe everyone who has seen "The Condor Heroes" has an impression) and no longer listens to Yuan Shao's orders. So Yuan Shaoxing surrounded Dongwuyang and could not fight for a year. Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin, a Hony, to write a letter to Cang Hong, telling him that there should be good news and good news. Cang Hong wrote back and said:
We are so far apart, I really miss you (because this is Zang Hong's letter to Chen Lin, so the second person in this letter refers to Chen Lin), and I even often dream about you (this is the trouble of translating classical Chinese into vernacular, and often ordinary classical Chinese greetings are translated into vernacular just like love letters between men and women). Fortunately, the distance between you and me is only close at hand (Note to Wu and Han Shu: "Er Ya didn't have this article, but it is called Wu Ji." In fact, if you go to see Oracle Bone Inscriptions or Wu, one foot is on the left and one brother is on the right, which means holding one brother forward. As for the "stopping brothers to be martial" mentioned in Shuo Wen Jie Zi, it is a post-uprising after mistakenly changing words. And the "step" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions is to get up and down two feet. One step in ancient times is actually two steps today, that is, one step on the left and right feet, one step today and half a step in ancient times, which is called one step. Therefore, there is a saying that "there is no thousand miles without product". On Wu's left is a foot, which means it has been extended by half a step. "Step" refers to the distance between one step and half a step, which means it is very close. But we can't meet each other because we have different ambitions. Really sad! Thank you for your letter the day before yesterday ("you" is a compliment, just like "Qi Jun" when writing today. In ancient books, some parts replace the whole. Here, we only use the honorific words in the letter, not the whole letter. Knowing whether it is good or bad, distinguishing between public and private, is quite sincere. But I didn't reply to your letter at that time, because on the one hand, my knowledge was too poor to refute your argument; Besides, you now live in the east to take care of your master (because Cang Hong used to work under Yuan Shao, and the master in this letter refers to Yuan Shao. "Side room" originally refers to the illegitimate child's genus, where the younger generation is the biggest, meaning Yuan Shao), but I neglected the master's order and fought against the other side (the phrase "take the side room, take the master away, live in Dongzhou, and take the servant as the enemy" used complicated skills. The original intention is that Chen Lin "takes the side room as his partner and his home is in Dongzhou", and Cang Hong "leans on his shoulders as his teacher and his servant as his enemy". "Shoulder rest" means rest, and "Shoulder rest master" means asking Yuan Shao for leave temporarily. This is a euphemism, which actually means: "I quit"), even the heartfelt words written by my incompetent subordinates are still unconvincing (these two sentences are too difficult to translate, so I will just translate them casually); Besides, I can't save anyone now, how can I think of others! What's more, you have a wide range of knowledge and read all the books in the world. How can you be behind the road and not know my heart? But you still wrote to persuade me to turn myself in, so I realized what you really thought, not that I did something wrong, but that you wanted to save my life! If I really want to write back and argue with you about right and wrong, but the truth will not be more obvious because I said it, nor will it be diluted because I didn't say it. Moreover, if I really write back, it will inevitably hurt the admonition that "a gentleman breaks up, and if you don't say it, you will have it", which is really something I don't want to see! So I just don't write a word, and I hope you can guess that my plan has been decided and will never change. I didn't expect you to write me another letter, citing ancient and modern times and writing six pieces of paper magnificently. Even if you don't want to reply now.
This passage seems verbose, but it contains very deep feelings. It is this kind of words that can show a person's inner entanglement. The book of the Later Han Dynasty cut this passage a lot, which is clear, but sometimes it takes verbosity to express feelings.
I was originally just an ordinary person, but because I was sent to Liu Yu, I was highly valued by my master. I was actually a senior official like Qingzhou Secretariat. My master's kindness to me is really deep. How can I be happy to see today's killing each other? Every time I go to the city to reorganize the army, I see my master's flag and drum, think of my friendship with you in those days, and think of taking up arms and fighting with you now. It's really heartbreaking, tears streaming down my face! Why did it turn into the present situation? Ever since I helped my master, I have been unable to help (as Liu Ban said in Xie Ji, repentance is beneficial and more general), and my master has taken care of me far better than others. When I start working for my master, I think I will be able to honor the royal family and make great achievements. Unexpectedly, the emperor was unhappy, the country was invaded, and the county imprisoned Juck Zhang (the place where Guangxi was imprisoned). Here is just an agent, in fact, Zhu Kezhang was killed by Cao Cao), and Zhang Miao, the satrap, was defeated and collapsed (the word "gram" could not be solved). Lupit thinks this word may be wrong. I don't have time to rescue Juck Zhang. I feel sorry for my boss. This is disloyalty. Now I am your enemy. I am sorry for my friend, but I am not a friend. However, after careful consideration, disloyalty or disloyalty is a greater sin, so I am determined to break up with you. If the host treats his old friends (Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao were friends when they were teenagers in Luoyang) well, and waits beside his followers, those who leave have always denied themselves and blamed themselves, and have not always considered how to deal with their friends, and are very cautious about punishment, then I will hold high Ji Zha's ambition to abdicate (Li Xian's "Were Han Shu" notes that Ji Zha's ambition to abdicate here refers to Ji Zha, but it feels quite different from Cang Hong's deeds. I think it may refer to Xu Jun's hanging sword, but there is no evidence. There are many stories about Ji Zha), there will never be a war today!
As a friend, Ping Yuanjun said well: "If you are expensive, make cheap friends;" Those who have money to make friends are all poor. The way to be a friend is to help a friend when he is in trouble. All I want to say is "timely assistance". Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao have established a long-term friendship since the Luoyang era. Born in the world, nothing is more sincere and heartfelt than the friends they made when they were young. Zhang Miao stabbed Cao Cao in the back. Yes, Zhang Miao is not a friend, but it is just a disaster for Zhang Miao. Seeing that Juck Zhang's family was surrounded by Cao Cao, when it was broken, the whole family was destroyed. As the eldest brother, Yuan Shao should say something even if he doesn't like Zhang Miao any more! Besides, Zhang Miao was not in Qiu Yong at that time. But Yuan Shao watched helplessly as Cao Cao killed the Zhang family in Juck Zhang, Zhang Miao. What kind of friend is this? Yuan Shao's behavior is really chilling. Cang Hong's letter is polite from the beginning to the present, but it will break out when the mood stagnates to a certain extent. The words below this letter are getting more and more harsh, and the criticism of Yuan Shao is becoming more and more explicit. Because all the resentment has accumulated to the highest point so far, there is no need to whitewash it. "If the host doesn't pay so much attention to his old friends, and the residents sit on the side seats, and the people who leave are self-denying and don't attract the attention of their friends, but believe in punishment to help themselves, then the servants will resist Ji Zha's ambition and not fight for today's war." This sentence seems euphemistic, but if they are in the situation at that time, we can see the depth of Cang Hong's resentment!
Who do I want to imitate? At the beginning, Zhang Dao personally went to the altar to bleed and was ordered to be a special envoy. Finally, Han Fu, a priest in Jizhou, gave Jizhou to his master. Later, he went to the court and was awarded and appointed by the court. Customs clearance is the fate of customs clearance, which may extend to the appointment and dismissal of official positions. I didn't expect to offend my master, but he was beheaded by his master in an instant, and there was no room for defense. Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and went to the master for help. The master refused, but he just let Lu Bu leave, but sent someone to assassinate Lu Bu and almost killed him. Liu Xun was ordered to go to the embassy, which delayed the time and led to the failure of the mission. He was afraid of his master's punishment, missed his relatives, and deliberately tricked his master into going home. Such a person can be filial and let him go, and he will not lose anything because of his master's arrogance, but he will not be pardoned and killed by his master after all. I am not a wise man, nor do I have the ability to know everything. I guess the master's mind is that all three people deserve to die and the punishment is just right. Presumably, the master wanted to unify Shandong, expand his army to gain criticism, and was afraid that his subordinates were still royalty and could not serve his master wholeheartedly, so he deliberately suppressed the authority of the emperor to improve his power ("power of attorney": in the Han Dynasty, officials could be appointed cheaply as long as the emperor ordered. "History as a Mirror" Volume 40: "So (Deng) Yu Chengzhi sent an envoy to observe the festival, calling him General Xizhou, who had exclusive power in Liangzhou and Shuofang. Hu Sansheng's notes said: "Deng Yu's Western Expedition, as an expert, put all your eggs in one basket as a stopgap measure, so he said that he wanted to make a system, and he promised to make a decree. The post-commitment system starts here. In fact, there was a contract system in the Western Han Dynasty. Both Yuan Shao and Han Dynasty had the right to appoint officials. In order to make his authority worse, Yuan Shao suppressed officials appointed by the central government, so as Zhang Zhi reported to the court, he was appointed by the central government. Yuan Shao thought that this loss of sincerity to the central authorities was not conducive to his authority, so he killed him. Those who go with the flow will prosper, and those who go against it will die ("Those who are righteous will be honored, and those who are to be released will be slaughtered" and "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" is written as "Therefore, I learned from the past and guessed that the master would never spare me anyway, so although the situation is bad, I will never surrender. Although I am stupid, I also know the truth of being a man. It's really not my intention to turn my back on my old master. The reason why I am so stupid is because I don't like what my master has done. Moreover, the reason why I turned my back on my own people and stuck to this city lies in the truth that "a gentleman's violation is not suitable for an enemy country." "As a result, he offended his master and was besieged for a long time. And today you admonished me with the words "a gentleman's violation is not suitable for being an enemy." It's like a chicken talking to a duck. It's really not the words and deeds of an understanding gentleman. (What did Chen Lin say to persuade Cang Hong? Because Chen Lin's letter has been invisible today, it is difficult to determine, but according to the context, it should be what Cang Hong called "a gentleman's violation is not suitable for being an enemy." "Zuo Zhuan" mourned for eight years: "When Wuwei dies, he will attack Lu and ask his uncle and grandson. Uncle Sun Mo said to him, "Lu Zhishen is famous and heartless. If he beheads him, he is determined to win." Step back and tell the public that the mountains are absent. Gong Shan didn't say, "indecent. If a gentleman doesn't follow the enemy, no minister has to cut it, and he can die if he runs for his life. In the twelfth year of Lu, the Third Ring Road was cut. At that time, Uncle Sun Mo and Gong Shanbu refused to accept it, so they attacked the capital of Lu, and Confucius sent troops to pacify it. After the failure of the mutiny, the two men fled to Qi and Wu successively. In the eighth year of Lu Aigong, the prince of Wu wanted to attack the state of Lu. His uncles and grandsons all agreed to this proposal, but Gong Shan was not against it. He believes that "even if a politician of a country wants to flee, he should not flee to the enemy country in his hometown, let alone help his former enemy attack his parents' country!" "Guess Chen Lin is to use this truth to persuade Cang Hong, hope Cang Hong even against Lombardi, also should not and old enemies declare war against each other.
However, Cang Hong replied in a word: "Everything I am doing now is based on the sentence" A gentleman's violation is not suitable for being an enemy ",which means that Cang Hong simply regards Yuan Shao as an enemy. Since Yuan Shao is regarded as an enemy country, it will not violate the principle that "a gentleman's violation is not suitable for an enemy country"!
When we criticize Yuan Shao, we often take Guo Jia's "ten wins and ten losses" as an example. Of course, the ten principles of "Tao, righteousness, wisdom, degree, strategy, morality, benevolence, Ming, literature and martial arts" have beaten Yuan Shao to pieces, but if you look closely, they are all vague criticisms. It is Cang Hong's letter that really scolds Yuan Shao to the bone. Yuan Shao is unfair to his friends, disrespectful to you and disrespectful to me. What he wants to say is "unkind". There is a kind of person in this world: good-looking, innocent, courteous, people fall in love at first sight and become bosom friends. But once it comes to your own interests, you will immediately become a stranger and turn your face against others; Even reversed the gun head and operated on old friends and subordinates. Yuan Shao is such a person. There are so many such figures in this world that we are not even sure whether we can come to the festival without them. Lao Shi said, "He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." It's really hard to know people and yourself.
I have heard the truth that "loyalty to the monarch does not rape relatives, loyalty to the monarch does not violate the monarch." Therefore, taking Zhang Miao, the prefect of Linzhou, as foreign aid to support counties and counties, in order to protect Zhu Kezhang, can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Why should the master betray this truth? To me, the master is my brother and my friend. Since you have different aspirations and different ways, don't interfere. So the master should leave me alone and advocate super loyalty. And you want me to abandon my old ideas and serve my master wholeheartedly. If this truth is true, shouldn't Shen surrender to Wu Zixu instead of crying to Qin for help? Wu Zixu biography)? What you said is only the truth of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, which is far from the real avenue. You see I'm surrounded. There are no reinforcements. Considering the relationship and feelings between us (the meaning of marriage is mentioned in the article, maybe Cang Hong and Chen Lin are related), I hope I would rather live a disgraceful life at the expense of my integrity than overthrow and sacrifice. But in the beginning, Yan Ying didn't give in to force, and Heather ignored his own body for historical justice (these two stories can be seen in Li Xian's Notes to the Later Han Dynasty). Yan Ying's story can be found in The Spring and Autumn Annals of Yan Zi (Volume 5), and the story of Nan Shishi can be found in The Twenty-five Years of Zuo Zhuan (Zuo Zhuan), so both of them are famous for their books and silks. What's more, I am standing against the city now, and the people are happy to use it. I used my savings from the past three years to fight this year's war, and I made up the surplus to please the people all over the world. My master wants to build a house and farm (see Li Xian's note in "Later Han Dynasty"). Build a house for soldiers to live in, and adjust soldiers to open up wasteland to show persistence. If you fight a protracted war with me, you will surely defeat me. What's more, if Gongsun Zan leads the army and JASON ZHANG and Zhang Yan make trouble behind the master, the northern border will be in danger, and the emergency documents of the master's battalion will surely fly like snowflakes. Master really should listen to my advice, withdraw immediately and train foot soldiers at the gates of Yecheng. I really shouldn't always show off at my door. Is it not enough to be angry for one year? You laughed at me for asking for help from a thief in Braque Mountain. This is because you don't know my wisdom of asking the yellow turban insurrectionary for help. What's more, zhangyan and others have long been courted. How can you call them thieves? Once upon a time, Emperor Gaozu appointed Peng Yue, a robber from Jutian, and Guangwudi started a business with outlaws. In the end, he was able to create Yu Diji, revive the Han Dynasty and achieve the imperial career. If you can help the son of heaven achieve great harmony, why avoid other people's origins! What's more, I personally gave them the seal documents and cooperated with them in Qi Xin.
This paragraph can be said to be the failure of the whole letter. Mencius said, "How can you talk about profit? Only benevolence and righteousness. " Righteousness is friendship, what should be done and what should not be done. This is righteousness. As for failure, outspoken, personal honor and disgrace, you don't need to pay attention at all-in fact, you can't pay attention at all. Dong Zhongshu put it well: "It's just loyalty, it's not good for you, you don't know the way, it's not worth it." Righteousness and benefit should be clearly distinguished. Some people criticized Zoe for taking the distinction between interests and interests as a simple dichotomy, which simply failed to grasp the true meaning of Mencius. If you want to talk about morality, you can't have a little interest, otherwise you can't judge and act purely. Because interests can be good, because interests can be evil. Benefit and righteousness are not at the same level at all, so there is no dichotomy! Cang Hong died of benevolence and righteousness. If he dies, he will die. Why talk about profits? It is not surprising that Cang Hong's behavior of "killing concubines and eating soldiers" is provocative, because he turned to Zhang Yan and Lu Bu for help. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was the only one with only moral interests, so Zhu said, "There is only one Zhu Gekongming under three generations, which is based on righteousness." It can be seen that Zhuge Liang can't write a whole article about interests like the model.
Kong Zhang (Chen Linzi, Kong Zhang) Goodbye! Since you have been entrusted to the leader for utilitarian purposes, I will serve the Lord and be loyal to the son of heaven. You said I existed in name only, but I laughed at you for living an old age but not being known to the world. Alas! It's really sad that the two people who agreed originally turned out to be enemies! Try hard and don't talk.
After reading Cang Hong's reply, Yuan Shao knew that Cang Hong was determined not to surrender, so he sent more troops to attack. Zanghong city ran out of food, and there was a lack of strong assistance outside the city. Thinking that his death was imminent, he called his generals and said, "The Yuan family has no plan to save Zhang. I, Cang Hong, must die for my honor. You don't have to be unlucky with me. Get out of here with your family before the city is breached! " All the generals wept, saying, "Your master has no complaints with Yuan, but today he is trapped here because of the county magistrate Zhang. How dare our subordinates leave you! At first, rats and crossbows were eaten (the ancient bowstring was made of animal tendons and fixed with animal glue, so the crossbow armor was edible. " Used to be "? "Biography of Geng Gong": "For several months, you have exhausted your food, but you have to cook a crossbow and eat its tendons and skins"), and then you can eat everything you can. Cang Hong's main book took out the only three measures of rice left by the government and wanted to cook porridge for the cadres. Cang Hong sighed, "what's the use of me eating alone? "So I cooked these three barrels of rice into porridge and gave it to all people like white water. I also killed my concubine and gave it to the soldiers as a snack. The men were crying, too moved to look up at Cang Hong. In the end, although there were seven or eight thousand men and women in the city, there was not a defector.
We sent Han Xiao's son to talk about the marginal character of Jianghu people: "Jianghu people will use extreme behavior to do justice in their hearts. In Jin Yong's novels, only Qiao Feng is closest to this character. " Wang Fuzhi also spoke brilliantly: "The most inhuman thing in the world, the initiator, does not necessarily owe it to benevolence and forbearance." What a wonderful speech. Many behaviors of characters in the Eastern Han Dynasty are puzzling in the eyes of people now. To put it bluntly, it is an ancient ranger's character shown by a scholar-bureaucrat, or, more simply, the "Jianghu spirit". Although the style of the characters in the Eastern Han Dynasty is not good enough, to be honest, the most wonderful place in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty is to watch the performances of these underworld brothers.
After Dongwuyang was captured, Yuan Shao captured Cang Hong alive. Yuan Shao has always had a close relationship with Cang Hong and used a lot of cloth curtains to decorate the scene. The generals of the conference came to summon Cang Hong and said to Zang Hong, "Cang Hong, why did you do this?" Do you have it now? "Cang Hong suddenly stare big eyes ("seal "is a bit strange, except" Xieji ",the rest are printed as" seal ",which comes from it) He said:" Your Yuan family served as an official in four generations of the Han Dynasty (in four generations, five Yuan family members held three positions respectively, Yuan An was Stuart, Yong, Yong, Yuan Feng was Yong. Now the royal family is weak and has no intention to protect the Han family. In fact, they have taken the opportunity to stifle more loyalty to establish authority. I see that you call Zhang Miao my younger brother, so you should regard Juck Zhang as your younger brother, and Qi Xin will work together to eliminate pesticides for the country. How can you sit back and watch Juck Zhang's Zhang family get killed? It's a pity that I'm not strong enough to stab my enemies with a knife for the world. How can I serve you! "Lombardi originally valued Cang Hong's talent and wanted Cang Hong to surrender to himself. Now he saw Cang Hong's heroic resignation. He didn't use it for himself, so he killed Cang Hong.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill Cang Hong from the beginning, but at the last minute, he deliberately put on a big face, which was really disgusting. Guo Jia criticized Yuan Shao for being lenient outside and taboo inside, which was really well said.
Chen Rong, a native of Hongyi County, is a young scholar. Because of his admiration for Cang Hong, he worked as a county magistrate of Dong Jun under Cang Hong (this official is not small, almost equivalent to a deputy province). Before Dongwuyang was captured, Cang Hong sent Chen Rong out of the city. When Cang Hong was arrested, Yuan Shao ordered Chen Rong to watch (Yuan Shao is really abnormal). Seeing that Cang Hong was going to die, Chen Rong got up and said to Yuan Shao, "General (referring to Yuan Shao) has done great things for eliminating violence in the world. I didn't expect to kill loyal ministers first, which was not in line with God's will. Zang Hong did this for Juck Zhang, the county general. Why did he kill him? Yuan Shao was ashamed. People around him were afraid that Lombardi would become angry from embarrassment and kill Chen Rong, so they asked someone to pull Chen Rongqiang out and said to Chen Rong, "You are not as good as Cang Hong, why do you want to learn from him and die together! When Chen Rong was pulled out, he turned and said, "How can benevolence and righteousness be the unique character of some people? Doing is a gentleman, doing is a villain. Today I would rather die on the same day as Cang Hong than be born on the same day as you, Yuan Shao! " Chen Rong was also killed by Yuan Shao. Everyone present at that time sighed and said privately, "How did you kill two soldiers in one day?" The person around here seems to have a little personality, maybe it's Tian Feng and the giant hand! Peter said that Sima was sent out of the city to ask Lu Bu for help. By the time they came back, Dongwuyang had fallen and died in the hands of the enemy.
Cang Hong Chen Rong did die a fair death. When I was practicing Laozi, I remember that when I was talking about the "Zhi Zhi Crisis", Mr. He Zeheng gave full play to the topic of how China people attach importance to the Day of Death. People in China attach great importance to festivals of death. Before Xiang Yu died, the director of Wujiang Pavilion advised him to flee to Jiangdong to make a comeback, and the world was still promising. Xiang Yu replied: "8,000 people from Jiangdong crossed the river westward, but no one came back. Even if my brothers and sisters in Jiangdong pity me, how can I meet them? " If you don't say anything, is a person worth it? "Before Xiang Yu died, he just showed the spirit of" shame ",so for thousands of years, China people held a sympathetic attitude towards Xiang Yu more than a critical attitude. Chen Shou combined Lu Bu and Cang Hong into one biography, so let's take a look at how they both died. It is not enough to see how Lu Bu and Cang Hong died. We will also see how Chen Gong and Chen Rong died. After comparison, we can find the theme that Chen Shou wants to convey.
Comments: Both Chen Deng and Zang Hong are heroic and heroic. They were defeated the following year, but they retired after their success. Hong led his troops to a crushing defeat and failed to gain a foothold. What a pity!
At the end of the Han dynasty, there was chaos in the world, and the trend of disintegration has become. After the party's hidden disaster, the literati turned to seek the safety of themselves and their families. Cang Hong's death can be regarded as the last spark of the Eastern Han scholars' burning integrity. Since then, the spirit of this era has been cut off. During the Wei, Jin and Zen Dynasties, many shameless acts such as bullying orphans and widows were all committed by traitors and thieves, which was the reason for the corruption of the whole custom and the corruption of scholars. Cang Hong is neither a vassal nor an official, but Chen Shou still dares to put him with tyrants such as Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, which shows that Chen Shou is not only a great historian, but also a courageous historian.
