Chapter 3470 That's it
In fact, what Liu Fu wanted to say was to use Cao Cao's big flag as bait to attract the ships of the Guanzhong naval army to the shore and then launch a sneak attack. After all, no matter who it was, he could not help but make a few moves when he saw the sign of the other commander on the battlefield.
It’s like when playing military chess, you know where the opponent’s commander is, and you don’t want to send a bomb to try it?
But Liu Fu couldn't say that, because he was afraid of being beaten by Cao Zhang, so Liu Fu finally suggested that a military camp along the river be used as a grain transport center, and the key points of hoarding materials, and then lure the Guanzhong naval army's tower ships...
Cao Zhang thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and asked his soldiers to go and prepare.
Cao Zhang looked at the boat coming from afar, with a serious expression on his face.
When he was young, he always felt that those allusions in history and legendary heroes were just like this. Many times they were just lucky, just like Xiang Yu was burning his boats and happened to meet a Qin general who had no desire to fight...
But now Cao Zhang realized that it might not be that Wang Li was too bad at that time.
Wang Li is the grandson of Wang Jian.
When Meng Tian was expelling the Huns in the north, Wang Li served as a deputy general and stationed in Shangjun. Whether it was family inheritance or practical experience, it should be quite good. However, when facing the coalition forces of Xiang Yu and other princes, he could only defend and not attack!
Cao Zhang looked at the Cavalry Army, which was approaching and about to launch a new wave of offensives, and suddenly felt that he might be somewhat similar to Wang Li back then.
Even though I know it is difficult to defend, I have to defend it!
Who has the best luck?
Who is really lucky?
When I was a child, I felt that I could fight in and out of thousands of troops, but now I know how difficult it is to do that.
No matter how good your martial arts are, you must have a strong mentality and courage, which is not possible at all.
Cao Zhang looked up at the sky, muttering a few words...
Liu Fu turned his head to look at Cao Zhang, his eyes flashed, but he quickly turned around and loudly encouraged the soldiers around him, "Even if the Cavalry Army comes, you must prepare siege equipment! Don't be nervous! We have support! There is support!"
Before Cao Cao attacked Guanzhong, everyone... Well, most people in Shandong thought that Fei Qian was young and had poor family background, so there were many factions in Guanzhong, and there was even the danger of Fei Qian being undermined by the Jingxiang Sect. At the same time, when Jingxiang Sect came to Guanzhong, they would inevitably have conflicts with the local Guanzhong.
At least that's true in Shandong.
The war between Cao Cao and the two Yuans seemed to be fighting with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but in fact, the Yingchuan gentry group represented by Cao Cao was fighting with the Nanyang faction and the Jizhou faction.
Liu Fu understood this, but what he didn't understand was why there were no such disputes under Fei Qian and in Guanzhong?
Look at the situation where Lao Cao was dragged down his hind legs, even his front and middle legs were dragged together, why didn’t it happen in Guanzhong?
Although the soldiers of Cao's surrounding army heard Liu Fu's encouragement, they still did not have much excitement or relaxation.
Liu Fu was too lazy to say anything else. He walked to the battlements of the city walls and stared at the approaching Zhang Liao's troops, looked carefully for a while, took a deep breath, and shook his head.
Why take an extra breath?
It is because Liu Fu also wants to suppress her panic.
After this battle, whether it is under Cao Cao or Shandong who is chewing on the verge of his mouth, they must admit that the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry is no longer a young and weak force, and they cannot say anything new or lacking in ability, etc., but they must admit that the Cavalry is a powerful existence.
To deal with a weak sapling that is still in its growth stage, perhaps just chopping it hard on the trunk can break its vitality. However, if you want to face a big tree that has grown and lush branches and leaves, just chopping it on the trunk. Even if it causes certain damage, it will not make the big tree fatal.
So, if you deal with a growing tree, ordinary swords and axes cannot be cut down for a while, what should you do?
Liu Fu suddenly thought of something, and turned his head in surprise and looked at the big star representing Cao Cao.
I see!
I see……
...
...
Jizhou.
Peace Castle.
The name of peace is to seek peace.
But in fact, only peace can be achieved if you are at ease.
"Mr., the man is here!" The servant who was in charge of looking at the wind outside the door whispered.
When Zhen Xiang heard this, she said anxiously: "Come on your behalf! Please give me a message!"
Since Zhen Xiang and Juhu have worked together, they have become much closer to each other.
The servant outside the door lifted the curtain, and a dusty man walked in and took off his face towel.
In ancient times, it was not only women who only brought face towels, but most people who walked outside would wear them, either cloaks or hats. Otherwise, the wind and sand would be filled with dust, and the yellow dust flying sand that was covered with nose and glance would be extremely uncomfortable.
『Brother Ju!』
Zhen Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The two were not familiar with each other at first, but since Wei Yan came, they have become "good friends".
Of course, there are a few more people...
But those people didn't look like Zhen and Ju Hu.
Everyone has ambition.
Jizhou is so big, we should always let people with talent take on the heavy responsibilities of this leader, right?
Although Zhen Xiang knew that one day he might have conflicts with Ju Hu and then attacked each other, now they have a common enemy.
Not a cavalry.
The cavalry is now a friendly army!
Ju Hu also bowed to Zhen Xiang to greet him, and then subconsciously glanced at the left and right.
Zhen Xiang understood and immediately stepped back.
"How is the situation of the Youbei battle?" Zhen Xiang asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Northern Region Army of the Cavalry occupied Youzhou! Then Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are really...
Halfway through Zhen Xiang, Zhen suddenly saw Ju Hu take out a letter from his arms.
There was no look on the letter, and even the signature was written with four words, "It is not well-known"...
"This is..." Zhen Xiang seemed to have guessed something and looked at Ju Hu in surprise.
Ju Hu handed the letter to Zhen Xiang.
Zhen Xiang took the letter, looked at Ju Hu, and then slowly opened it. She read it up and down quickly, and her eyebrows couldn't help but thump. "This is...where did this come from?"
Ju Hu smiled and said, "Is this a question necessary?"
Zhen Xiang subconsciously lowered her voice, "Is this what came out there?"
Ju Hu waved his hand, "Don't be so nervous... There are so many books... It is said that there are sent in from the north every day... There are so many people who have read it..."
Zhen Xiang was a little relaxed.
Although Ju Hu said that, I guess many people read it, but if you really want to regard this letter as one thing, there may not be many people.
At least Juhu and Zhen Xiang would treat this letter as an important matter.
Wars mean changes.
Changes mean opportunities.
These second-rate, even second-rate children of Jizhou gentry can now covet the above position.
Or, strictly speaking, they fell from first-class people, so they were even more eager to return to their original positions.
The taste of authority makes people obsessed, fanatical, and crazy.
"Then these letters..." Zhen Xiang patted them gently with her hands, "But you have to copy some and send them further?"
Ju Hu smiled and said, "If it's such a simple thing, I won't come to Brother Zhen."
『Ah?』 Zhen Xiang was stunned and immediately said, 『So please tell me!"
"You and I can see these letters, and they can see them too," Ju Hu said slowly, "In this way, there will be more troublesome things. This will also be reduced, and that will also be reduced. Who is sincere, who is false, or has no choice, or has ulterior motives... After all, there must be a difference between the upper and lower, and between the inner and outer, right?"
Zhen Xiang nodded and said, "It makes sense!"
No matter how sincere they were when they first cooperated with Wei Yan, they were now seeing the changes in the military power and the powerful cavalry, and there were more or less some fake operas to sing, which was not enough to be told to outsiders.
Although the two are now in Jizhou, they are trying to prepare for the arrival of the Cavalry Army.
The two discussed for a moment and decided to send someone to contact Zhao Yun and Wei Yan in the north. Even if they surrender, they would become the standard setters of the surrenderers and the yardstick for the cavalry army to measure whether others are "sincere"!
As long as the Cavalry needs it, they will "do their best" to prepare information about the children of various surrendered gentry, so that the Cavalry can understand the situation of these people in a more "objective" and "detailed" way...
Of course, who have more pens and ink among them, and who have abbreviated them depends on Ju Hu and Zhen Su's pen.
Or it’s up to the “friendship” with them.
"Brother Ju, if the cavalry unify the Central Plains... Brother Ju will definitely be the prefect of the prefectures and counties!"
"Everyone, each other! Brother Zhen is a talented person, two thousand stones are no problem!"
『Ahhh, ahhh…』
"Hahaha……"
The smiles of the two people are as subtle as they are in the ostentatious and show their desire in the hope.
...
...
Information asymmetry is always a pain that humans cannot heal and erase, so humans desire information sharing modes similar to "hive" or "Tower Tower" type. However, no matter how humans fantasize or simulate, they cannot imagine a state of complete information exchange without any obstacles.
Because no matter who it is, I have me in my heart.
Small, big self.
For Fei Qian, all his knowledge and information about the Three Kingdoms is no longer useful.
Perhaps when recruiting talents in the later stage, some people can know that they have certain talents, but except for knowing that they can only be famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, the rest is unclear.
Whether loyalty or virtuousness is to focus on individual family or national collective, it is not impossible to understand everything by knowing a name.
For the frontline generals, they only need to fight on the battlefield, but for Fei Qian...
Huh?
Why does this mean something strange?
But this is indeed Fei Qian’s main trouble at the moment.
From a tactical perspective, the current battle in Hedong is undoubtedly a great victory for the Cavalry Army.
Fei Qian and the generals and counselors under Fei Qian used the passes and mountains to successfully limit the strength of Cao's army, and defeated Cao's army's multiple attacks, and captured enemy generals.
But on the other hand, Cao's army may not be defeated.
Because Cao's army also succeeded in consuming a lot of food, grass and money that Fei Qian had accumulated over the years.
And the key is that we will continue to consume next.
Cao Cao can plunder the population and destroy the family, but can the cavalry army?
It’s winter now. I will take over these populations and at least provide food for the beginning of spring. Then I can consider wild vegetables, fishing, hunting and other means of replenishing food, and then wait until autumn...
How much food and grass does this require?
How much time can the grain from Sichuan, Shu, Hanzhong, or Longxi support and how many people can provide?
In Guanzhong and Hedong, how should those who originally came from Shandong view and treat the current group of Shandong prisoners and surrendered soldiers?
Even if we continue to defeat Heluo, should we re-support the Yang family, or people like the Yang family become new buffer belts, or would we just do it in one go to defeat Zhongyuan?
After conquering the Central Plains, the troops and weapons may be enough to support it, but what about the management personnel?
I have to go through the second time when I eat too fast and then get choked to death with indigestion?
Fei Qian needs to consider this kind of problem. He cannot wait until these problems have occurred before he says he should think about it and consider it...
When their subordinates ask questions, they hope that Fei Qian can make a decision. Even if it is left for Fei Qian, it will not be too long. Because if Fei Qian has no choice, then they will find a way, and the final thing they do may not be what Fei Qian originally wanted.
Fei Qian had experienced too many leaders in his later generations because he was unwilling to take responsibility or was too lazy to think. So he asked this and that when something happened, and then said he would let go and do it boldly. When something went wrong, he would come to trouble his subordinates, and he would blame him for one or six, and he would just take a break. The remaining day would be the only time to rest, and the employees would make their own decisions without asking for instructions.
All animals cannot see themselves.
Including humans.
The outlines and forms they have obtained are actually feedback from other creatures outside.
Just like a puppy with a cat that has grown up, it will have cat habits, and a kitten with a dog that has a dog habit.
So when a person does not look in the "mirror" for a long time, they will forget their original appearance...
If they suddenly see themselves in the "mirror" after a long time, they will not feel intimate about their appearance, but will become afraid.
"So, I am like this? Shouldn't I be like that?"
What Fei Qian needs is to look in the "mirror" from time to time.
And now, a "mirror" is placed in front of Fei Qian...
"The thief army camp actually defeated Sima Zhongda?"
After receiving Sima Yi's report, Fei Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After defeating Lu Chang, Fei Qian once thought that the soldiers of Cao's army had collapsed!
The quality of the soldiers of the Cao army is not high, and coupled with the continuous defeats during this period, shouldn’t it be that they have entered the state of “escape when they see the wind”? How can they still defeat Sima Yi?
This is unscientific!
But that's how it happened.
This is like a "mirror", placed in front of Fei Qian, allowing him to reexamine himself and his troops.
"Go and spread Zhongkang to come!"
Fei Qian didn't raise his head, looked at the map and said to the guards beside him.
The guards took the order and after a while Xu Chu arrived and bowed to him.
Fei Qian nodded and asked straight to the point: "Can there be livestock and horses in the forts in Shandong now? "
Perhaps it was the embarrassment in the early Han Dynasty, or perhaps it was the cruelty of the Huns, the Han Dynasty was considered a dynasty that created the national-level Ma Zheng.
When the Han Dynasty was just established, it was poor and there were very few horses. The emperor could not find four horses of the same color to pull the cart, and the ministers could only compromise and ride the ox cart to the court.
After Liu Bang's death, the arrogant Xiongnu Khan wrote to Empress Lü, "I am a widow, you are a widow, we just match a pair!"
Empress Lü was furious and wanted to attack the Huns, but because of the lack of horses, she could not form a cavalry army. She had to swallow her anger and continue to send money and property to the Huns, and send the princess and the Huns to marry each other.
All these things left a deep imprint on the two emperors of Han, Wen and Wu.
Raise horses!
In the early years of Emperor Wu of Han, there was no horse farming land like the Hetao Plain and the Hexi Corridor in the Han Dynasty.
Of course, it costs money to raise a horse.
In order to raise horses, Liu Bang added a calculation tax when the country was founded, "The tax was paid from more than fifteen to fifty-six years, and the people were 120 to one calculation, and it was for the garrison and chariots and horses to govern the treasury." In other words, the earliest calculation tax was for the special tax on raising horses.
This is the real power of the whole country to raise horses!
It’s a pity that this is considered a tuition. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the court did not raise horses, but the taxes could not be reduced!
Just like Midi's oil price, as long as it rises, it will never fall. Although it seems to have ups and downs, but in fact...
In the early Han Dynasty, in addition to collecting taxes to raise horses, people were encouraged to raise horses, and discounts were given, "If the people have a chariot and horse riding, three more soldiers will be given", which means that as long as the people produce one horse, they can be exempted from the military service of the three. In this way, raising horses will naturally become popular.
As for the policy that was wrongly implemented after Emperor Wu of Han, it is also a story later.
In any case, raising horses in the Han Dynasty was not a rare or particularly difficult thing for the people.
Even in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no longer a large-scale horse-raising policy at the national level, but among the people of Shandong, especially among the gentry clans, there must be a certain ability to raise horses.
Xu Chu's answer also confirms this.
Xu Chu said that although the Central Plains and Jianghuai did not produce horses, before the world was in chaos, there were generally horse-raising among the gentry manors and forts in these places.
After the world's turmoil, the horses in the Central Plains decreased sharply, but the princes of the Central Plains were not fools, so they naturally had to collect war horses and concentrate on taming and reproduction...
Just like this time Cao Cao sent troops, didn’t he also gather three or four thousand cavalrymen?
Fei Qian heard it, thought, and suddenly said: "Zhongkang, is it possible that in Shandong, there are actually more war horses that can be collected than what we have seen?"
"The lord's intention is that Cao's thief still has something to hide?" Xu Chu said, "But if this is true, then what is the purpose of Cao's thief?"
Chapter completed!
