Chapter 3350 Winning and Losing
The habit of an army is often gradually developed from the day the army was founded.
If you don’t help me when you die, you will be like the wind. It is a kind of army, loyalty and facing difficulties.
The army commanded by the General Fei Qian of the Cavalry in Hedong and the troops commanded by Zhao Yun in the Northern Territory were completely different from those commanded by Zhao Yun. The soldiers under Fei Qian were actually not out of the scope of self-cultivation farmers, while the troops in the Northern Territory were in a nomadic mode. After Zhao Yun gave the order, they immediately roared out with their horses, and their movements were so smooth that they didn't seem to be going to fight a war, but to hunt on the grassland.
Moreover, unlike the combat mode in Hedong, even the soldiers and horses in the northern region are relatively casual even when they are stationed during the march. Sometimes they use long spears to lay a circle of gun walls on the periphery, which is the area of ​​the camp. The warning significance is greater than the actual defense.
This is mainly because there are a lot of grass in the northern desert, but there are not many trees. It is obvious that it is not realistic to cut down trees on a large scale and then build a regular camp with a wardrobe and a village wall.
At the same time, most areas in the Northern Region are relatively vast, and it is difficult to find a steep place on the wilderness that can cover up the garrison. Therefore, over time, such a combat mode naturally formed.
Zhao Yun and his men patrol the camps stationed by various departments.
Zhang He followed.
From tomorrow, Zhang He will lead the front army and fight as a vanguard.
Zhao Yun took Zhang He to walk around this circle, and firstly, patrol the camp was something that the chief general had to do, and secondly, he was to calm Zhang He before he set out.
Although Zhang He himself said he was willing to be a vanguard, as a qualified boss, he could not let his subordinates sign a "volunteer" for everything, and everything would be fine, and there would be no problem, right?
After walking around, Zhao Yun did not have much attitude towards the simple gun walls of those camps, but he was very strict about the sanitation facilities such as water intake and storage, drainage ditches, etc.
During the inspection, several Qu Chang teams led by his subordinates because they were not standardized in digging the excretion trench, so they were ordered by Zhao Yun to jump out of the trench and dig to a standard depth by themselves.
Qu Chang's roster of those people jumped down to dig without saying a word.
However, most of the time when digging is shining, I believe that after the long queue of Quqian led the digging of the ditches, those lazy soldiers will inevitably have a deeper night to deepen their memory...
Zhang He, who followed Zhao Yun all the way, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
If it was in Shandong, this situation would be completely impossible. It is not that the soldiers in Shandong would not be lazy and sloppy, but that the Shandong would obviously be more inclined to superficial skills and turn a blind eye to the equipment under the ground.
Even if it is not a war camp that is stationed for a short time, but a city that lives for a long time, most ruling officials will not care about the facilities under the ground such as sanitation and drainage in the city.
The simplest question is that heavy rains are coming and the city is flooded.
Obviously there is something wrong with the drainage, so we can't blame God for the heavy rain, right?
But Shandong officials have a way to transfer the conflict to God, saying that this has been decades, ah, it happens once in a few hundred years. God wants this, who can do it?
But if you quietly open the county annals and look at it, you will probably find that the city's waterlogging is not only once, but the damage and casualties caused will not be just a little more water on the ground.
But after a few days, the rain passed and the water subsided. The county officials sang, danced, danced, and drank, and as for the sewer...
Didn’t the water receded?
You can see the equipment that decorates the storefront, replaced year by year, applied gold powder, blue and red. In the areas of the city where water is accumulated, this time, the heavy rainstorm will still accumulate water next time. The water accumulated ten years ago, and ten years ago, twenty years, and thirty years later, it will still accumulate water.
In fact, to put it bluntly, officials in Shandong pay more attention to what can be used to smear on their surface and show them to their superiors. As for those sewers that are related to the actual problems of the people's lives, who cares?
Anyway, the areas where officials live will definitely not be in water-stacked areas.
In Shandong, managers like Zhao Yun cannot be said to be completely lacking, but they are extremely lacking and very rare.
Zhang He thought, his face inevitably showed some expression.
When Zhao Yun turned around and saw it, he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Protector..." Zhang He pondered for a moment, "If you take Youzhou, I don't know if the Protector has a plan to manage the place?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "What, are you a famous scholar who wants to recommend it?"
Zhang He shook his head, "I came from a cold background, where did I know any famous scholars? What's more, the famous scholars in Shandong are all bad, but most of them are wine bags, talk first, and practice countdown. What subordinates mean is that if the land of Youzhou is governed by those original officials... there will probably be big problems... But if these officials are replaced, it will be a troublesome..."
"Oh?" Zhao Yun looked at Zhang He with some surprise, "Why did Yeon think of this?"
Zhang He said: "Recently, in the report on the martial arts hall, there was a mention that "you can fight when you get on the horse, and you can control the people when you get off the horse", so my subordinates have been thinking about it more often..."
"Yun Yi is too humble." Zhao Yun said, "But it's interesting to mention this issue...Yun Yi thinks these military academies cannot handle people's livelihood and government affairs well?"
"These military academies?" Zhang He couldn't help but look back at the camp just now, and his lips moved twice. He obviously wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
"The land of Youzhou is different from that of Hebei and Henan." Zhao Yun said while walking, "In Hebei and Henan, there are many cities and villages, with complex populations and numerous affairs. And Youzhou comes from Huanling, which is a bitter and cold border with thin people... Of course, this is not a reason to treat its people slowly, but it means that there will not be too many people's livelihood and government affairs..."
"This is nothing wrong, but..." Zhang He nodded, and then felt that something seemed to be not very right.
Zhao Yun laughed, "Jun Yi, you actually think badly... the people, in fact, they need order more than officials... As long as we can ensure order, officials..."
Zhao Yun smiled, "Of course, it is only in Youzhou, where the population is relatively small, so this can be achieved. If Jizhou and Yuzhou are different... This is mentioned in the lord's comment on the civil governance of Qinglong Temple... Oh, next time you come back, you will lend it to you and you will understand... I am more worried about how to defend you if you take Youzhou. As a vanguard, if you find anything, please give me some advice in time."
"I dare not speak out for advice, but if my subordinates gain something, they will definitely report it to the escort." Zhang He said quickly.
Zhao Yun nodded.
To put it bluntly, most of these soldiers in the Northern Region were constructed by nomadic Hu people and nomadic Han people on the frontier. They did not have any profound cultural heritage. They all rely on rigorous training, fair reward and punishment system, and continuous victory to polish the sharp blades.
Of course, among the entire Han Dynasty, only under the Cavalry, the requirements for the cultural quality of the army are the highest. When entering the Cavalry Army, the leisure time is not used to catch lice, bask in the sun, chat and fuck, but to read and recognize words semi-compulsively. Especially those who want to be a middle- and high-ranking military position not only need to recognize words, but also need to memorize the military rules. Otherwise, no matter how brave he is, he will be stuck in the position of promotion to the chief of the Qu.
This is different from the rating of ancient Chinese professors in the Nanbangzi Kingdom in later generations, but they had to rely on their level of washing in the gutters. As middle-level military officers, Qu Chang Junhou and others must be proficient in various military regulations such as military affairs and military laws, and understand the communication of military texts. This is the requirement of their duties.
Some regulations in the army are actually a kind of "order" to some extent. When encountering situations, disputes, and how to deal with them, although there are not many well-educated people in the army, it also ensures that the illiteracy rate in the cavalry army has dropped a lot, and the orders issued by officers and generals can be better understood.
In this way, the army has generally good nutrition, effective reward and punishment system, and a high degree of training organization, so it is naturally more advantageous and easier to cultivate elite troops. Shandong generally adopts the model of farming soldiers, recruiting, recruiting, and even enhancing the population of men and prisoners to form an army. Not to mention the sense of honor, even military discipline is lacking. When encountering materials, whoever grabs them will be whoever gets them, and the organizational structure is useless.
Therefore, Zhao Yun is not very worried about the governance work in Youzhou now, because some military control can be temporarily replaced. However, because of the need for defense and this kind of governance, the soldiers will be forced to disperse, which may lead to weak links in some aspects. This is the problem that Zhao Yun has more troublesome.
No matter how much the problem is, the battle still needs to be fought. At dawn the next day, Zhang He said goodbye to Zhao Yun, led his troops first, and pointed directly at Youzhou.
However, Zhao Yun and his army could not have arrived in Youzhou that day, so let us return to Hedong.
In the eyes of many people who don’t understand the truth, fighting is like going on, then fighting, and finally laughing.
But in fact, there are many problems that need to be solved little by little.
For example, Fei Qian and Xun Chen finally confirmed the problems of the transportation team from Linfen with Xun Chen, learned about the logistics support situation, and confirmed that the transportation team would arrive this month, and the amount of food and grass will be replenished next month and next month. In addition, we must prepare to hoard some supplies and grass for the army in winter in the north.
Although Fei Qian is expected to end the war in autumn, no one can ensure that the war will not drag into winter. Although Fei Qian does not think that Cao Cao dares to do this, as the commander of the entire army, he cannot completely avoid preventing risks. Even if such advance preparation requires a lot of financial and manpower.
After reading the briefing sent by Xun Chen, Fei Qian approved it and used it to print it.
『In this battle, money, food and grass are like water...』 Fei Qian sighed, 『That's it... Although I thought I had a big chance of winning, but before the battle reached the last moment, who could easily tell the outcome."
What Fei Qian is more worried about now is that some people think that victory is in sight, so they start to be careless and numb, and then they are turned over by Lao Cao.
This kind of thing happened to Yuan Da once, and Fei Qian didn't want to repeat it again in himself.
Be cautious and avoid every risk.
Although F2A is good, once it fails, GG is left.
Of course, before F2A, most people thought that this was the scene and the flying dragon rode his face, how could they lose?
As a result, I flew in and found a circle of reinforced air-topping turrets plus a doctor's sister's needle-firing soldier...
Speaking of which, Fei Qian is now mainly cavalry, isn’t he like a flying dragon with fast moving speed?
Bah bah bah bah bah!
Fei Qian secretly threw this bad idea out of his mind.
That's right, Cao Cao had already used a similar strategy when he was fighting with Yuan Da.
At that time, Zang Ba was the jungler on the sideline. He entered Qingzhou from Langyan and invaded Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places on the flank of Yuan Da. This not only restrained Yuan Shao and consolidated the right wing, but also prevented Yuan's army from attacking Xu County from the east.
Xiahou Dun is now responsible for invading the flanks.
Then during the Yuan War, Xiahou Dun was stationed in Mengjin and Aocang areas, defending Yuan's troops crossing the river to attack Yuzhou weakly. Cao Ren is now responsible for this aspect.
When Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao, he also commanded some of the central army including Cao Hong, and blocked Yuan's army from the Baima to Guandu area and built a fortification to defend.
Now Cao Cao is building a fortress in Anyi...
At the same time, at that time, Cao Cao also gave Yuan Shao a lot of "talents" and "information", which made Yuan Shao believe that victory is in sight and that Cao Cao is about to overturn...
As a result, Cao Cao laughed to the end.
Now, many people, including people from the Cao family like Cao Zhao, surrendered to Fei Qian.
By the way!
Yuan Da was said to have been...
Infected with the plague?!
Fei Qian suddenly realized that he grabbed the written document that had been approved, glanced up and down a few times and found that there were no projects to prevent and treat the epidemic, nor did he mention that he wanted to store medicinal materials in this area!
『Add one.』 Fei Qian picked up his pen and commented on the text, "Let the North, Yinshan, and Guanzhong Hundred Medical Clinics organize doctors to collect medicinal materials and medicines to prevent plagues, and immediately send them to Linfen, Hedong, Tongguan and Wuguan!"
"Plague?" Xun Chen was stunned and immediately said, "Lord, it's summer and autumn now, this plague..."
Normally, it is spring and summer, and plagues are prevalent, but in summer and autumn, perhaps because the weather is dry, bacteria and viruses are more difficult to survive, so there are fewer plagues.
"Prudent caution is the best." Fei Qian nodded and said, "In the past, Yuan's army attacked the white horse and defeated him, but he got the epidemic in Guandu..."
There is a big lake and Wuchao Lake between Baima and Guandu.
There is no big zodiac in the Yuncheng Basin in Hedong that is similar to Wuchao, but there is an Anyi city...
『Food, medicine, cloth,…』 Fei Qian sighed, 『I hope I can hold on.』
War, if it was as simple as some people thought, killing foolishly, or as simple as a few words in history books...
Xun Chen said: "The lord is wise and will keep Guanzhong from being affected by the war. After Guan Mid-Autumn Festival, he will naturally be more abundant."
"Then we must first defeat Cao's army in Hedong." Fei Qian nodded.
In the entire territory of Feiqian, the war affected most of the northern Bingzhou, and even the Linfen area was actually affected more or less. As for Taiyuan, Shangdang, especially the Taiyuan area, although it defeated Xiahou Dun, it still had a great impact on the local economy, especially crops.
Many farmlands were trampled and burned, not only did they have no harvest this year, but also needed Feiqian to replenish the rations and seeds for another year...
Fei Qian said with some emotion: "If Cao's army's consumption strategy really succeeds...haha..."
Xun Chen nodded and said, "The Cao thief really wants us to attack the Anyi camp. If we can use this camp to drag the lord, the Cao thief will definitely turn around and cross the river west."
Fei Qian nodded and said, "Yu said that the decisive battle here is not the best strategy. Cao's army came too early... In a few years... forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. What are the discoveries in Wenxi's area?"
After Cao Zhao surrendered, Fei Qian asked Cao Zhao to write a letter according to the agreed countermeasures.
However, after Zhang Xiu guided Wen Xi's remnants to transfer, he could not find any traces of Cao Xiu and others for a while.
This made Fei Qian feel a little uneasy. In the northern part of Bingzhou and the Luliang area, the mountains and hills were undulating. Although Cao Xiu and other side troops were not large in number, it would be a very troublesome if they really got guerrillas.
Xun Chen pondered aside.
"What did Youruo think of?" Fei Qian asked.
Xun Chen bowed and said, "This Cao Zilie...wouldn't he want to find Xiahou Yuanrang?"
Fei Qian couldn't help but be stunned.
Fei Qian naturally knew that Xiahou Dun had been arrested.
Thank you for your blessing, some people in Shandong know that Xiahou Dun’s fate is not good...
But this kind of thing will definitely not be publicized so that everyone in the world knows it.
The reason is simple, information is also money and interests!
The fewer people know the information, the higher the price. Therefore, in Shandong, the news about Xiahou Dun is known to a group of people, especially among the gentry of Jizhou and some of the gentry of Yuzhou. As Cao Xiu, who has been fighting on the front line, of course, no one would come from a long way to say hello to him.
So when Xun Chen said this, Fei Qian really felt that Cao Xiu would have gone there.
Before, Cao Xiu climbed the mountain path from the Zhuguan Road to Hedong, and now he climbed the mountain and crossed the ridge to Taiyuan to find Xiahou, and it seemed that the most suitable candidate among Cao's army.
Fei Qian thought about it, then stood up and walked to the hanging map on the side.
『Taiyuan…』
Fei Qian murmured.
The current guardian in Taiyuan is Huang Cheng.
"General Huang is in Taiyuan," Xun Chen said from the side, "General Huang has always been cautious and has been in charge of military service for many years, so it should be fine."
Fei Qian nodded, "But it's a variable after all... I'll send a quick horse to report this matter."
Xun Chen responded, "Lord, why not let Xiahou Yuanjie come here..."
Fei Qian's eyes moved slightly, "What are you thinking about Youruo?"
Xun Chen smiled and said, "Lord Mingjian, this letter is also written, two letters... are also written..."
Fei Qian was stunned and immediately understood and couldn't help laughing, "Well, okay! At this point, only Xiahou Yuanrang has worked hard!"
Chapter completed!
