Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1133

   "I have seen General Zhengxi..." Yu Fuluo got off his horse and said with cupped hands.

  Fei Qian nodded to invite, and then realized that Yu Fuluo didn't use the chest salute, but the hand salute, no wonder it was so awkward, it was as weird as wearing a suit over a mandarin jacket and robe.

   "This..." Fei Qian rubbed his nose, feeling that it was necessary to ask, "Why did Shanyu change to bow ceremony?"

The hand-to-hand ceremony is relatively speaking a etiquette inherited from ancient times. It is a part of the Zhou ceremony. Although it is simple, there are actually very detailed etiquette regulations. Even the angle of reaching out is different. It is divided into Shi Yi, Shi Yi , Tianyi and other different ways of saluting.

   But this way of saluting is Zhouli after all, which is equivalent to Chinese etiquette. It has no relationship with Southern Huns like Yu Fuluo, right?

Yu Fuluo laughed, and said: "Ah... the salutation of touching the chest is respectful to others, and the respect of heaven and earth is the salute of handcuffing. Naturally, the salute of handcuffing is the most important... This is what Zuo Xianren said, and this king also thinks it is reasonable... "

According to Zuo Ci's words, touching the chest only emphasizes one's own humility, and does not reflect the respect for the heaven and the earth, but the ceremony of handcuffing is for the sky above, and for the earth below. The humble gap is the best secular etiquette, bar none.

The Southern Huns and Eastern Qiang basically belonged to the Hu tribe who were more pro-Han, and they were relatively more willing to accept some Chinese culture, so Yu Fuluo didn't feel that he had changed the chest touching ceremony he had used for a long time. The hand-to-hand ceremony is a violation of the ancestral system, and it feels like a crime of infidelity. Instead, it uses a new gadget, or it is like cracking some of the secrets of the Chinese Han people. It is more or less full of novelty.

  This may also be related to the Hu people's concept of supremacy of pragmatism.

After hearing this, Fei Qian nodded and smiled, "Since it's what Immortal Zuo said, it makes sense... A certain person has practiced this ceremony for many years, and today he got his meaning from Shan Yu's prescription... It's a pity that I couldn't ask Immortal Zuo for advice that day. But fortunately, there is still a chance in the future..."

As Fei Qian said, he suddenly felt a little confused. Looking at the barbarian barbarians around him, they were all pragmatists. If they found it useful, they took it and used it. They didn’t even care whether the surname was Han or Hu. On the contrary, the Han people are twitchy, they always pay attention to the ancestral system, the nature, the category, and the color...

Just use it first, it’s a big deal to change it, I didn’t see the Japanese country and the stick, I changed the strokes of the Chinese characters, it can be called a self-created text, and the Hanfu is changed, it becomes a self-created national costume ?

   But, it’s still early, and there is still a chance...

"Chan Yu, come, please sit down..." Fei Qian invited Yu Fuluo to the platform halfway up the mountain, and after sitting down, he held up a tea bowl to invite, "During the war, it is inconvenient to drink alcohol in the army. After this mob, let Shan Yu have a drink..."

  Yu Fuluo laughed, raised his tea bowl, looked left and right, and praised: "The general can always choose a good place, which is really good. Xianbei, hey, these Xianbei dogs dare to come..."

  Amidst the rumbling drums and the sound of fighting on the battlefield one after another, Yu Fuluo glanced roughly at the battlefield, and he got some points.

The platform halfway up the mountain allows you to observe the situation of the entire mountain path condescendingly without being threatened by the battlefield at all. At the same time, it can also serve as the command center. Yu Fuluo is also the commander on horseback, so it is natural On this platform, it is full of praise.

The Xianbei people launched an attack again, but Yu Fuluo's attention was not on the wall of the village, and even the Xianbei formation on the opposite side only glanced briefly, thinking that going down from this angle, it would be possible immediately Knowing the precarious situation on the wall of the village, in fact, most of them are pretended...

   Behind the wall of the village, there are still a large number of Han Chinese infantry lined up, ready to replace them at any time.

There are still some casualties, but in Yu Fuluo's eyes, these casualties are more like Fei Qian's military training. After all, Yu Fuluo also knows a little bit. More than half of the infantry here are from the last battle with Yinshan Xianbei. The soldiers recruited or integrated after the battle naturally need to be retrained and reunited to form a real team...

"Shanyu...Look at that old man in the Xianbei queue with a colorful staff..." Fei Qian looked at Yu Fuluo, whose gaze seemed to be only on the side of the Han people, as if he was not very interested in Xianbei, so he pointed at that Said the bright spot in the Xianbei queue.

Yu Fuluo didn't pay attention to Xianbei's side at first, because he could see that Fei Qian had the upper hand, not to mention the infantry formations on standby behind the wall, even the horsemen behind the Yinshan camp It is estimated that the Yue cavalry can compete with these Xianbei cavalry head-on...

   What's more, these Xianbei people actually dismounted and attacked the city. Although the height of the Yinshan camp wall is not as high as that of an ordinary county town, don't these Xianbei dogs even know that the Han people are best at defending cities?

   What's so interesting about the Xianbei people, aren't they just idiots, but the Han army is different, there are always a lot of novelties. So Yu Fuluo's attention was originally on the side of Feiqian's Han army, looking at the neatly planned camp garrison, looking at the well-planned military facilities with various functions, especially the dozen or so that were erected above the inner wall of the camp. The crossbow chariots and the group of cavalry gathered in the south of the village attracted most of Yu Fuluo's attention...

But since Fei Qian mentioned it, Yu Fuluo also turned his head and looked at it for a few times, he couldn't help being stunned, and immediately pointed with his finger, his voice raised a little, "This... this is... this is the big Shaman! Great shaman! Great shaman of the Xianbei people!"

The Xianbei annexed the pastures of the Northern Huns, and also inherited a lot of things from the Huns. The shaman was one of them, so Yu Fuluo naturally recognized it. those memories of...

Shaman only exists in large tribes. It can be said that he has multiple jobs. In addition to his job, he also works as a combat staff. He is also a prophet, doctor, teacher, etc. It is a multi-job A mixture of respected.

   However, the Southern Huns have not had a shaman for a long time.

  Since the Han Dynasty was attached to the South, when the last shaman got old, no new shaman was born, and the position of shaman disappeared in the history of the Southern Huns.

  However, Yu Fuluo met a living great shaman here today!

It is not uncommon for the Xianbei Huns to use colored things, but most of them use them on the flags. Ordinary people cannot wear colored clothes, at most they can only use a single color, so Yu Fuluo did not pay attention. From a distance, I thought it was just a colorful banner, but only the shaman used colorful decorations as clothes to wear on his body, and only the great shaman was qualified to hold a scepter decorated with colorful feathers!

   Yu Fuluo didn’t think Xianbei people would change this kind of rules, so whoever appeared here holding a colorful scepter must be the great shaman of Xianbei!

   "Oh? Great Shaman?" Fei Qian asked, "Is the position higher or lower than King Guli?"

Yu Fuluo shook his head and said: "How can King Guli be compared... After all, King Guli can have multiple kings, but the Great Shaman... Normally, there is only one... But the Great Shaman does not command troops, so Probably similar to the position of the left and right wise kings... We used to be like this, Xianbei people..."

   Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head and said: "It seems that Xianbei people don't pay much attention to this great shaman...Look, it's just this little force..."

  Yu Fuluo smiled wryly, but didn't say anything.

at this point?

   This is nearly 10,000 people, right?

  These are the soldiers who came forward. If there are women and children behind them, the number is at least three or four times that number, which means that there are 40,000 to 50,000 Xianbei people directly or indirectly ruled by this great shaman!

   Is it still "this"?

You must know that Yu Fuluo's own subordinates, after two years of training and childbearing, have accumulated seven or eight thousand people, which is already considered a large tribe. Of course, if you compare it with the population of Fei Qianping in Pingyang, you can say "this point" There really isn't much of a problem...

   "This great shaman..." Yu Fuluo twisted a little uneasy, and said, "...It is said that it has some mighty power...but I don't know..."

  Yu Fuluo rolled his eyeballs and opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something, but he didn't continue.

   Fei Qian laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Shan Yu, I don't know if your shaman has the power to reach the sky, but I do know that the one in front of me doesn't have any power..."

"How is it possible?!" Yu Fuluo almost jumped up, and then sighed, and said, "When my father was alive, he once said that our shaman had a fight with Xianbei's shaman before. A competition of divine power, but our shaman lost... Later, our shaman died of an illness not long after, and we didn't have time to pass on the skills, so we don't have any shaman now..."

  Even a shaman with supernatural powers can’t deal with the Han people?

  Then it's hard to avoid being a little sad and a little disappointed...

   Feiqian nodded and said, "Is that true? Then... maybe it can be said that this shaman has some power, but here... hehe, he can't use it, or it doesn't work..."

   "No... no effect?" Yu Fuluo was obviously a little confused, but also a little inconceivable. Supernatural powers are supernatural powers, powers are powers, how can we still distinguish between those that can be used and those that cannot be used, those that are effective, and those that are not?

  Fei Qian looked up to the sky and laughed twice, without explaining, but said: "Zilong! It's time to prepare..." Now that it is confirmed that the Xianbei people are indeed an important role, it is very necessary to dispatch cavalry to strangle.

  Zhao Yun took a step forward, clasped his fists to accept the order, the iron gloves struck each other, there was a loud clang, and then descended to the platform on the mountainside amidst the sound of iron armor scales.

At this moment, Zhao Yun has completely lost the appearance that when he just arrived in Bingbei, he led a few hundred cavalry and carefully followed Ma Yue to learn the basic skills of commanding troops. Already considered a very outstanding forward general.

Zhao Yun stood by the side of the horse, looked up at the platform on the mountainside, and saw Fei Qian nodding at him to signal that he could start preparations, he stood up, took the spear in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "All teams lead! One last time, check the saddle! Spears! Swords! Throw spears! The unmistakable stand by the side of the horse and stand ready!"

Amidst the sound of "cang lang lang", a group of cavalry in full body armor pulled out half of their swords, then put them back into their sheaths, and then adjusted the position of their spears, placing them in the most convenient area for them. Then he stood in front of the horse and two light cavalry attendants, ready to climb on the horse at any time, quietly waiting for the moment of attack.

  A heavily armored cavalryman, assisted by two light cavalrymen.

Before the war, the light cavalry assisted the heavy cavalry in putting on their armor and getting on their horses; supplementary source.

  This is the ratio of Fiqian's personnel to the armed cavalry unit.

The current armored cavalry can only be regarded as a simplified version compared with the batch of flying bears brought by Xiliang before. Because of the use of northern war horses, they can't bear too much weight, so some war horses are also reduced. The heavy iron armor was replaced by cloth armor and leather armor. The armor on the cavalry used hooks and brackets as the armor structure, which reduced the burden on the shoulders, strengthened the center of gravity of the waist, and enhanced stability. The army is so strong that it has abnormal defense capabilities, but it still cannot be underestimated.

Although the pure heavy cavalry Flying Bear Army is incomparably sturdy, it is a thunderous winner on the battlefield, but the requirements are too high, especially Xiliang horses cannot be supplied, and the environmental requirements for use are also too high. It is not suitable for all-terrain combat, but the simplified version of the cavalry can meet the combat needs of most terrains to a certain extent.

Bingbei war horses have thick necks and thick hooves. Although they are short in stature, they have broad chests and thick skins. They can withstand severe cold and endure hardships. Most importantly, they are very reproductive. Therefore, select some strong horses and gradually simplify them. The Flying Bear Army is just right.

"Tsk tsk, general, look at this cavalry..." Yu Fuluo looked at Zhao Yun's cavalry lined up with outfits, enviously, there seemed to be countless small hooks sticking out of his eyes, and he couldn't help scratching, even I also forgot about the great shaman for the time being, and turned to Fei Qian and said, "General! This set of armor is really good! Can you give me some sets?"

Fei Qian focused all his attention on the front of the formation, raised his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard the words, and said casually: "Oh, does Shanyu need this? Okay, but this armor, you see that this defense is so good, you need to know that we It took a lot of effort to make it, so...it's not cheap...Of course, Shanyu is our good friend, I will definitely give Shanyu the most favorable discount..."

  The corner of Yu Fuluo's mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly. The original idea was to ask Fei Qian to give him some...

However, this Feiqian, why is he still such a person? He has become such a big official. Why has his temperament not changed a little bit? Aren’t they all willing to send out the ones that are on the market, and not willing to take them in?

  According to the logic, Fei Qian should also be regarded as a high-level figure of the Han people. It is simply too disappointing why he still cares about every detail...

"...Wait, let's talk about this later..." Fei Qian paid attention to the changes on the battlefield, stood up with a huff, and shouted in a deep voice, "Xianbei is exhausted and has retreated. Send the archers to the wall of the village and hold the ground! Order Zhao Zilong immediately Lead the assault!"
