Three Kingdoms

Chapter 522 Four Knowledges and Three Confusions

Yang Biao slowly walked behind an old man and stood respectfully.

The old man was hunched over, with his back to Yang Biao, but he struggled to look up at the treetops.

Now it is autumn again. Even if it is a thick tree, there are still many leaves on the treetops that have turned yellow. Under the sun, the veins on the leaves are exposed, just like the old man's skinny hands with exposed veins, trembling. I don’t know when it will stop its final trembling and wither.

"how?"

Yang Biaogong cupped his hands and said: "It has been found out that he came from Fei Zhonglang's camp in the north of the city..."

The old man lowered his head, held on to his dove stick, and slowly turned around. It was the eldest elder of the Yang family—the only remaining member of the older generation of the Yang family. He was already ninety years old this year...

The old fish has its back, its teeth are shaking, it is close to the earth and far to the sky, and it descends into the underworld.

Yang Rang was walking with a dove stick, and every step he took was extremely difficult. The waiters on the side carefully stretched out their hands to support him, but they didn't dare to step forward to help him.

Yang Rang has a stubborn personality and becomes more and more stubborn as he gets older. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never be helped by others...

But for such an elderly person, what they fear most is falling. If they are not careful and step on the wrong foot, it may not only cause a fracture, but may even trigger a series of reactions, eventually leading to...

Therefore, it was difficult for Yang Rang to leave, and the servants waiting beside him were even more frightened. After finally reaching the hall and Yang Rang sat firmly on the couch, the servants finally relaxed. He took a long breath and secretly wiped the cold sweat that had broken out.

"Hahaha..." Yang Rang smiled and patted his legs, feeling very proud, as if he had just won a battle, and said, "...How about it, I'm not old yet, am I?"

"Yes, Great Elder." Yang Biao replied, kneeling respectfully on the mat under the Hu couch.

Yang Rang tilted his body and asked the maid to kneel aside, gently tapping his weak old legs, and then closed his eyes. It seemed that the short journey just now had consumed a lot of his energy. If it weren't for the drooping eyelids and the occasional eyeball movement, it would almost be considered a body that has lost any vitality...

Yang Biao waited quietly.

After a long time, Yang Rang opened his eyes, waved slightly to ask the waiters to retreat, and then said, "Situ, is there any news?"

Yang Biao shook his head.

Yang Rang raised his left eyebrow, twitched his long eyebrows twice, and said disdainfully: "This Wang Situ..."

Yang Biao asked: "Do I need to send someone first..."

Yang Rang shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, just let him go and Yang will wait and see what happens."

Yang Biao nodded in agreement, and then said: "The Great Elder means that Wang Situ is not worthy of trust?"

"Wang Situ is not someone who can calm down chaos." Yang Rang said in a deep voice, "Although he is a man of integrity and righteousness, and is knowledgeable in Confucian classics, his talents are not enough to contribute to the affairs of the country, and he will definitely cause disaster..."

Yang Rang stretched out a finger, pointed at the door of the hall, and continued: "Why here?"

Yang Biao looked back and replied: "Sizhitang." Since the Yang Zhen branch of the Yang family, all descendants of Yang Zhen will hang a plaque in the main hall with the same name on it. Three words "Sizhitang".

Yang Rang nodded and said, "What are the Four Knowledges?"

Yang Biao's eyes moved slightly from side to side. Even if the Four Knowledges were not from the Yang family, there were still a large number of people who understood what the Four Knowledges meant. However, it was obvious that Yang Rang was not asking for a superficial explanation.

So Yang Biao said: "Under the four knowledges, there are only two words, degree and caution..." The word "measure" refers to the long and short plan, and the situation of things; the word "cautious" means not to get involved in dangerous places, but to make the best use of the situation..."

Yang Rang nodded with a smile, but quickly put away his smile and said slowly: "If everyone in the Yang family could understand the meaning of the Four Knowledges like Mr. Wen, there would be no pain like the broken branches today..."

This time, the Hongnong Yang family also suffered heavy losses.

Originally, Yang Rang opposed the confrontation with Dong Zhuo, but many elders from other branches even did not hesitate to use clan tactics for certain purposes, but the final result was a complete defeat...

After the actual action was taken, the means and military strength that the other elders had high hopes for turned out to be like colorful blisters under the sun. They looked huge and colorful, but Li Ru dispatched Niu Fu and Zhang Liao to jointly suppress them. After a few rounds, it turned into scattered pieces and then disappeared without a trace.

After this battle, not only were the hidden men who had been cultivated abroad for many years uprooted, but even within Hongnong territory, not only Yang's Wubao was damaged, but even some other rural heroes vassalized by Yang's in Hongnong also suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that the current Hongnong Yang tree is as if all its leaves have been shaved off, leaving only the bare branches...

Of course, roots and branches hidden under the soil like Yang Rang and Yang Biao still support the big tree of the Yang family, but now they are no longer able to dominate the limelight and cannot be ostentatious for the time being.

"Under the Four Knowledges, there are two words, Du and Shen. Above the Four Knowledges, there are still three confusions!" Yang Rang was old after all, and he was already a little tired after a while, but he still supported his body and said, "Only by being wise and understanding things, can we Only by avoiding the three confusions that obstruct the eyes and confusing the mind; and without having insight into the clear nature, can one realize the essence of the Four Knowledges... Mr. Wen, please tell me, what strategy should Yang take at the moment?"

Yang Biao pondered for a long time and said: "Thunder is hidden in the sky, and it can be heard once, and the sound is heard in all directions. Now, Mr. Yang, it is better to refrain from haste and be patient, stay away from other things, and wait until the truth comes to light..."

"Shandong..." Yang Rang interrupted Yang Biao's words and said with some fatigue.

"Shandong has its own Shandong people...Besides the two Yuans, there are also clans..." Yang Biao understood that Yang Rang was not satisfied with the pattern of his long speech, so he spoke frankly about the main points.

"Well, Liang Yong..." Yang Rang continued without saying anything.

Yang Biao said: "He is panic-stricken, just wait until he gets into trouble..."

"Bingzhou..." Yang Rang continued to ask.

Yang Biao paused for a moment, and then said: "A few days ago, there was a rumor that Fei Zhonglang wanted to stay in the capital, but it was immediately rejected by the Fei family..."

Yang Rang chuckled and said: "In a bitter and cold land, there are also conflicts, which is so boring..." Obviously, for the Yang family who once based in Hongnong, the center of the world, an area like Bingzhou is really Some are disdainful.

Yang Biao nodded and said, "What I want is to go with the flow." Since Huangfu Song wanted it, Yang wouldn't stand in the way, but he wouldn't put in a lot of effort. If he could help, he would help. If he couldn't, he would help. It doesn't hurt either.

After all, Fei Qian seemed to be disliked by Yang more than Huangfu.

Yang Rang nodded and closed his eyes, indicating that this meeting was over. The long conversation had exhausted his little energy.

Yang Biao stood up gently, then gave a salute, and slowly pushed out of the hall, signaling the waiter waiting outside the hall to move less. Then he saw with his own eyes that the great elder lay down and began to rest under the careful attention of the waiter. I feel relieved.

After walking a few steps outside, Yang Biao suddenly stopped and looked back at the plaque of Sizhitang on the lintel of the hall door. His eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and slowly left...

Ma Taomao, now we have artificial festivals every day...

Then all the mobile apps belonging to Dafang started to act rogue and push messages non-stop, as long as you didn't block them...
