Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 581 Uninteresting work (monthly ticket 726)

About Zaoyi's envoy to Yuan Shao, Fei Qian has already talked to Zaoyi, and there is no big problem, but just let Zaoyi perform in his true colors, and bring some gifts to show his respect for Yuan Shao, after all, he is now with Yuan Shao There is no hostility, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being, so this task is not too difficult.

  But today, Fei Qian brought Zaoyi and Tai Shiming out of Pingyang City, heading north, not for the mission, but because Fei Qian wanted to have a private talk with Zaoyi and Tai Shiming.

These two people are actually very important here in Feiqian. They are two crucial links in the whole blueprint of Feiqian. One is in charge of farming and mulberry, and the other is in charge of craftsmen. To manage and plan the entire situation, and farming and craftsmen are no less important than military affairs...

   Along the road from Pingyang to Yong'an, there is a huge camp built on the banks of the Xinshui River, with many guard posts and strict security. This is where Feiqian's workshop is located.

  Fei Qian led Zaoyi and Tai Shiming to stand outside the workshop camp, looked at the wall of the workshop, and also looked at the rice fields beside the canal in the distance, and suddenly said: "The works of the two of you are the most interesting ones..."

Before Zaoyi and Tai Shiming could react, Fei Qian continued, "One is a farmer, and the yellow mud is his company all day long, and the other is... Hey, a craftsman, working with iron tools all his life, is not comfortable. Many people Words, standing in the world, one should relax one's mind, fight with strategy and art of war, and govern with enlightenment to make words, that is the right way..."

   Not only some individual people in the Han Dynasty, but also many people in later generations think so.

  Three Kingdoms, of course, you want you to plot against me, I plot against you, the kind that leads thirty soldiers to sweep 300,000 people is called Three Kingdoms, and those who love each other all day long, research and invent, can they be called Three Kingdoms?

   It’s so boring to do logistics calculations and craftsman research. It’s only interesting when two armies confront each other and fight back and forth. You set fire and I pour water...

   It's as if logistics soldiers are not soldiers, and only special forces are called soldiers.

  Are strategy and bravery important?

certainly.

   But resources and technology are equally important.

  What is "one Han against five Hus" means that the comprehensive suppression of the Xiongnu by virtue of metallurgical technology has brought out all kinds of critical attacks, not that the Han people have stronger martial arts and smarter strategies than the Hu people...

In fact, this point can be seen in some books and records in Taiku. Strictly speaking, in the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, the Huns were not defeated, but were dragged to death. During the 30 to 40 years of war, they were dragged from strong to weak, from an extremely powerful tribal alliance to fragments and torn apart, and finally the Han people rushed up wearing iron armor and carrying refined ring swords, and the Xiongnu finally even I can't even put together a set of tattered leather armor, and I need to use bones to make arrows...

   This is called one Han top five Hu.

   As for the frontal war between them, well, the Han people actually didn’t take much advantage, and they didn’t have much strategy to realize.

  The battle of Pingcheng was a disastrous defeat.

  The Battle of Mayi was seen through in advance.

  Then the first time to defeat the Xiongnu head-on was in the winter of the sixth year of Yuanguang. Wei Qing, the chariot general, was sent out of Shanggu, the cavalry general Gongsun Ao was sent out, the light chariot general Gongsun He came out of the cloud, and the cavalry general Li Guang was sent out of Yanmen.

  Wei Qing went to Longcheng and won the 700th rank of captive.

   These 700 levels were mostly obtained by Wei Qing along the way, and the other three were either defeated or lost...

  The ensuing battles were basically like this, with each winning or losing. The Han army as a whole still killed one thousand enemies at the beginning, and lost one thousand two on its own. Several times, it was even as if the army was swallowed up by the Huns...

   "The right general, Su Jian, lost his army, escaped and returned alone, and redeemed him as a commoner."

   "Li Guang killed more than 3,000 Huns, and killed 4,000 of his army. He escaped alone and returned...he should be beheaded and redeemed as a commoner."

   "Junji General Zhao Ponu rode 20,000 riders out of Shuofang to attack the Xiongnu and refused to return them."

   "Li Ling, the captain of the cavalry, sent 5,000 infantry out of Yanbei to fight Shanyu, beheading more than 10,000 captives. He was defeated and surrendered to the Xiongnu."

   "Because General Gongsun Ao Wanqi and 30,000 infantry came out of Yanmen...Ao lost the battle with King Zuoxian, so they were all brought back."

   "General Guangli of the Second Division sent 70,000 people out of Wuyuan... Guangli was defeated and surrendered to the Huns."

   Don't these generals who lead the troops have no strategy or bravery?

   And what Feiqian is facing is a new generation of overlord on the prairie, the Xianbei tribe that replaced the Huns, can the Xianbei be defeated just by strategy?

   What a joke.

   Bingzhou itself has a small population. If too much vitality is consumed in the war, it will be a tragic thing whether it is the current defense against Xianbei or the future.

As the leader of the way, Fei Qian naturally needs to see further and think more. Before formally handing over the authority, it is natural to clarify the attitudes of the two people, don't just be impulsive for a while, and then regret it after a while Yes, this is not only misleading others, but also misleading oneself.

Zaozhi was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "The people of ancient times lived in the land of Jue, and made firewood and bonfires. Fan Xu, who does not walk in the countryside, is trapped in Chencai, and does not eat for seven days. The family and the country are farming, but there is no lack of diligence, and the stones are not stored, so what is the tax? Where is the salary for the soldiers? Companion, to persuade farmers to grow mulberry trees, and never regret it.”

  Fei Qian did not make any comments, but solemnly saluted Zaozhi, expressing his respect for his ambition.

   Zaoyi also returned the gift with a serious face.

   Tai Shiming on the side said at this time: "I... I am not as good as my uncle Shi Yuan, my wisdom is not as good as my elder brother Yuan Zhi, and my sensitivity is not as good as my elder brother Zijing..."

   Zaoyi slightly arched his hands to express his modesty.

Tai Shiming went on to say: "...to win thousands of miles, to strategize, Ming also thought about it, but it is not my director... I used to watch my father and brother plowing the plow since I was young, and seeing their hard work, I once boasted that I would make something, You can spare me the trouble...Zhong Lang, please be at ease, I am not a sensationalist, and I am willing to be with steel utensils as companions, if it can benefit future generations, it can also comfort my life..."

Tai Shiming's speech was short and slow, not as literary as Zaozhi's, but the meaning was the same. Fei Qian also saluted Tai Shiming solemnly, and then said to Zaozhi and Tai Shiming: " If there is no farming, there will be no food in the warehouse, and if there is no work, the equipment will be disadvantageous. Those who are good at war will not have great achievements. I will choose a day to pay homage to the two farmers and workers!"

  While he was talking, suddenly a horse galloped from far north. In the smoke and dust, he could faintly see that it seemed to be a postman in the post station who was specially used to deliver information...

  Fei Qian couldn't help feeling tense, could it be that...

   I just learned about a festival in Guangxi, the 14th of July, and the fellow from the small shop next door killed ducks again, inviting friends and companions to greet and drink...

   Fourteenth of July...

   People in Guangxi seem to be very polite...

   PS: What should I do if the monthly bills are getting more and more outstanding? Otherwise, let's make an appointment... Mmmm, it seems pretty good...
