Chapter 3468 Why did it come to this
Chapter 3467 Why did you get this
Horse hooves flew.
Loess, weeds.
Lu Chang was tied up and placed horizontally on the horse's back.
This posture is like a tied pig and sheep, giving him an unbearable sense of shame.
However, because his head was down and his blood flowed back, he quickly changed from a feeling of shame to physical pain.
Whether it is psychologically more uncomfortable or physical pain that makes people more collapsed is actually a difficult question to distinguish.
He never thought that he would enter the front camp of the Cavalry Army in this way.
With a thud, Lu Chang was pulled off the horse's back and fell to the ground.
『Ah...ah...』
He wanted to yell, perhaps because of the pain, perhaps because of the depression, or perhaps because of the courage of his own, but the wind, sand and soil that had been along the way had poured Lu Chang's face and mouth, causing his throat to crack and he couldn't even make much sound.
"Is this person Lu Chang?"
A powerful voice sounded, calling his name unceremoniously.
『Hahaha! It's him!』
Huang Xu smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He slapped Lu Chang's head twice, as if he was patting a ripe melon.
『Congratulations!』
Xu Chu congratulated Huang Xu.
Huang Xu laughed, "Happy together! I'll treat you at that time! Zhongkang is coming!"
"That's natural!" Xu Chu replied.
"Xu...Zhongkang..." Lu Chang raised his head and looked at Xu Chu.
"Hmm?" Xu Chu turned to look at Lu Chang, "Do you recognize me?"
Generals in Shandong know more or less Xu Chu.
『I...I, I know you...』
Lu Chang looked at Xu Chu and tried to reveal his anger from his eyes. But he was too embarrassed and was captured alive and tied up. Even if he turned his eyelids up, he might not be able to reveal much inner emotions.
Today, Lu Chang finally met Xu Chu. Lu Chang's mentality was very complicated about these people who were originally from Shandong and later joined Fei Qian. Are they angry? There must be some, but are they envious? It is hard to say.
Xu Chu narrowed his eyes and nodded, without saying anything about greeting Lu Chang and reminiscing. He nodded and said, "Lord, Chu has something to do, so he will say goodbye first."
Huang Xu bowed his hand to return the gift, and asked the guard to escort Lu Chang to the central army's tent.
Lu Chang finally saw the arrangement of the front army camp...
Unlike most infantry camps, the cavalry front camps were more inclined to cavalry camps, and a relatively wide main passage was left in the center to gather cavalry and counterattack quickly.
The war horses and soldiers lived in tents built on the original ditches and slopes. The roughness seemed a bit messy, but when you look closely, there seemed to be some rules. The soldiers were busy, either handling soldiers, tidying up tents, or taking care of war horses. Not many people were paying attention to this place, let alone watching or having fun together and chatting together.
What surprised Lu Chang even more was that when these Hussar soldiers were doing something, they did not have the military academy's orders!
How is this possible?!
What surprised Lu Chang even more was that in the camp, there were soldiers who were obviously Hu, but they were with other Han soldiers, rather than in separate tents or in other areas...
Cao Cao also recruited Hu people.
In other words, the Han Dynasty had the habit of recruiting Hu people to fight since the Western Han Dynasty, so it was not strange to see Hu people in the cavalry army, but it was definitely not like the present. Hu people and Han people were at all unhappy and were harmoniously together!
Even the Hu cavalry recruited by Cao Cao before, although he followed Cao Cao's orders, he would not live with the Han people, let alone cooperate with each other so smoothly!
Lu Chang had heard of these things before, but he always thought it was exaggerated publicity. After all, in Shandong, it was not once or twice that Guanzhong was in dire straits every day. As a result, Lu Chang couldn't tell what the real situation was and what the propaganda terms were.
Various languages are heard everywhere, and the voices of people and horses are intertwined, lively and full of vitality.
Lu Chang wanted to look around and see other places, and also to see the situation in other directions, but was slapped back by the guard behind him, "What are you looking at?!"
Lu Chang turned around angrily, but received a heavier slap. He wanted to resist, but realized that he was tied up like a worm, so he finally lowered his head and walked forward.
The Cavalry Army was far more powerful than he thought.
Why is this the case?
...
...
On this night that puzzled and surprised Lu Chang, Sima Yi and Hao Zhao were also a little scared and taught a lesson.
Sima Yi and Hao Zhao finally broke out in the midst of Dong Zhao's interception and pursuit.
All night, Sima Yi and Hao Zhao were working hard to consolidate their troops and gather their soldiers. They did not rest again in Baihaogou the next morning.
Sima Yi was slightly injured.
Because Hao Zhao has been fighting at the forefront, he is much injured. Fortunately, he did not hurt the vital points, but he also bleed a lot, so he is extremely weak.
After bandaging the two, they sat down again, silent for a while.
I remembered that the two of them were also pointing fingers here and planning toward the Zhongtiaoshan Camp, and it seemed that there was more or less pain on their faces.
The military academy reported that nearly four hundred people were missing.
There seemed to be not many 400 people, but Sima Yi and Hao Zhao originally had only more than 1,000 people in command, but later they were replenished one after another, and some were injured and damaged. Therefore, the remaining ones were added and reduced, and the remaining ones were about 2,000 people, and the troops guarding in the rear had to be deducted, which was equivalent to the loss of about a quarter of the troops in this war.
These few people are likely to die in battle.
Only a very small number may fall behind at some stage and may be able to find it back, but this possibility is very small.
After this battle, it was like a basin of ice water poured on Sima Yi's head.
Everyone can fight with the wind, but if you fight too much, you will think that all the wars in the world are so simple.
Fortunately, the centripetal force of the cavalry is still there, so there is no need to worry about mutiny and defection in the military academy. Otherwise, Sima Yi and Hao Zhao would not have time to sit down to review and discuss, but should press and control as much as possible. Otherwise, when the sun comes out tomorrow morning, many soldiers would disappear.
When the princes of Shandong were fighting, there were not too many such things.
Sima Yi frowned and thought, regretting at this moment was meaningless, and the cold facts were in front of him. Their false reports did not work because Cao's army reacted very quickly. Although they rushed into the periphery of Cao's army's camp, Cao's army was not very panicked about their raid, which means that Cao's army might have predicted that they would come from the beginning...
The surprise attack cannot cause the effect of large-scale chaos in the Cao army, so it becomes inevitable that Sima Yi and Hao Zhao will suffer losses.
Why is this the case?
Sima Yi whispered, "This time it was a mistake. I didn't expect that there would be such an opponent in Cao's camp... I will present a report to describe in detail the failure of this war. The main responsibility lies with me..."
The cold wind blew, causing the flames of the bonfire to sway.
Hao Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, "Victory and defeat are common. Zhongda does not need to blame himself."
"Bo Dao doesn't need to comfort me," Sima Yi said, "It's true that I miscalculated... But what I don't understand is why did this Cao army conclude that we were false retribution?"
Sima Yi naturally knew that there would be a win or a loss in the battle, but what Sima Yi couldn't understand was why Cao's army seemed to have been prepared? This means that his plan was discovered. This was no less than a heavy blow for Sima Yi, who always claimed to be extremely talented. If he didn't understand this, he would definitely not be able to let go.
"There was no problem at the beginning..." Sima Yi said slowly, "The news of the news was confirmed to be sent in..."
"Yes." Hao Zhao nodded, "Our soldiers must have no problem!"
『So after I was sent in, something happened in Cao's camp...』 Sima Yi thought, 『What happened?"
...
...
Li Li was also injured, and he lay on a bed collapsed at the logistics wounded soldiers in the front military camp.
The wounded soldiers’ logistics camps in the front army camp were specially selected. They were filled with sunlight and could not be exposed to the wind. With ceilings and pillars, they were enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
The bed collapse is very simple. A few pieces of wood are supported, wooden strips are laid, then wooden boards are placed, and a layer of kudzu cloth is already excellent...
This may have been a bed that was so simple that even the dogs shook their heads, but only the wounded could enjoy it in the camp.
Even the generals slept on the floor.
It’s just that the generals had wooden boards and straw mats, while most of the soldiers had only straw mats.
On the edge of each bed, there are wounded soldiers' waist signs hanging, and there is also a wooden calf used to record and mark.
The collapse of the bed can prevent the wounded from contacting the ground and can also make it easy to lie down. So Li Li felt very relaxed when he lay on it. Even though the surrounding environment was quite noisy, he stared for a while, and even felt that the wounds on his body were not so painful.
Li Li is considered a minor injury area, while the seriously injured area is inside the shed.
He saw several soldiers whose stomachs were poked into the wooden board, and moaned and carried them in, not knowing their life or death.
Several doctors occasionally come to comfort the wounded, but most of the time they are very busy and have no time to care about the emotions of the wounded.
It was noisy inside the tent.
There was also a lot of noise outside the shed.
It's like repairing damaged armor, jingling...
It's better to be noisy.
If you feel noisy, it proves that you are still alive.
When was he injured?
He himself didn't know it very well.
After the battle, if the other soldiers had not reminded him, Li Li would not even feel that he was injured.
It was only when he was reminded that he felt abnormal pain.
The doctor said he was very lucky, and the arrow penetrated through his stomach, without destroying his intestines and internal organs, but he still asked him to stay in the camp of wounded soldiers for a few days.
There is nothing, the key is not to eat meat and drink alcohol...
At least you have to wait until the doctor confirms that your intestines are fine before you can eat meat and drink alcohol.
The doctor said this for Li Li's goodness. Li Li could understand this, but the injury camp is not far from the logistics kitchen, so the fragrance will come over what the kitchen is doing.
Today I should be eating horse meat.
Some war horses were too seriously injured and could not be rescued.
The war horse is like a soldier. If you go to the battlefield, it is like hanging your head on your waist.
only……
never mind.
It smells so good!
Li Li licked his mouth.
Just when he was confused, Li Li suddenly felt someone standing in front of his bed.
『Ah? General!』
Li Li recognized the person.
It's Xu Chu.
Xu Chu stretched out his hand and pressed Li Li, "If you are injured, lie down and don't move."
Xu Chu did not sit on Li Li's bed because Xu Chu was still wearing armor, but helmet. The armor was not light, so he sat down and said that the bed board would collapse.
Xu Chu found a wooden bench.
It is said to be a wooden bench, but it is actually half a stump with bark on it. Some debris should have been placed on the surface, and some dirt and dust were scattered.
Xu Chu swept his hands with his hands indifferently, then sat beside Li Li's bed, looked at Li Li's face carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard from the doctor that you have to observe for another two days... It's okay, it's okay!"
Li Li looked down at his bandaged belly and chuckled, "I'm lucky!"
Xu Chu nodded, looking a little depressed, "This time, it's my fault..."
Li Li said: "How can it be the general's fault?"
Xu Chu did not immediately follow Li Li's words, but was silent for a while before saying: "I just went to the seriously injured area... Some of them are still very young, and they are still thinking about going home to buy a piece of land and building a house for their family members..."
Li Li also became silent when he heard this. He remembered the seriously injured people who were carried in before.
Uncontrollable moans and blood.
Hands sliding off the stretcher.
"They are all good guys..." Xu Chu patted his cheek with his hand, "This is the lesson! If I were more cautious and not greedy for merit... they might not have any casualties, and you would not be injured..."
"Can't say that," Li Li said seriously, "General, you can't say that. We, and they, have the fate of life and death... How can we blame the general?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, don't call me general in the future, just call me Zhongkang." Xu Chu gently patted Li Li on the shoulder, stood up, "Recover well, wait until the injury is healed, have a drink together."
Li Li smiled, "Okay!"
...
...
Fei Qian looked at Lu Chang.
Lu Chang also stared at Fei Qian.
"Wizi left, Jizi was his slave, and Bi Gan died. Zi said that Yin had three kindnesses." Fei Qian smiled and said, "I see the general today, I don't know who the general is? Weizi, Jizi, or Bi Gan?"
Lu Chang sneered and said, "The defeated general dares not compare with his ancestors."
"Do you dare not, or don't want to?" Fei Qian asked again.
"Can you judge the sages in the barbarian land?" Lu Chang sneered, as if he wanted to kill or cut him casually, "If you want to kill, kill him quickly! Although I dare not compare with the sages, I still understand the principle that there is no day and no man's ruler!"
Fei Qian nodded, "The general is loyal and filial. I admire him. However, I was puzzled by something, and I asked the general for advice... Is Guan Zi not dead? Is it kind? Is it loyal and righteous?"
Lu Chang was stunned.
Perhaps ordinary generals are not very familiar with the meaning of these sutras. Fei Qian said these words, and these generals who do not understand the meaning of the sutras may not be able to understand them, but Lu Chang could understand them. He was from Nanyang and was in the prosperous place of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was impossible for him to not even understand the simple allusions that Fei Qian said.
Duke Huan of Qi killed his rival Gongzi Jiu, who was the throne.
Gongzi Jiu's adviser Zhao Hu's death ceremony, which was considered to commit suicide to fulfill his etiquette. However, Guan Zhong was also Gongzi Jiu's adviser at that time, but he did not have the death ceremony. He also turned around and assisted Gongzi Jiu's enemy Gongzi Xiaobai...
Can such a person be said to be kind?
Can you say he is loyal and righteous?
As a result, Confucius said that this is "benevolence" and "loyalty and righteousness"!
Confucius' reason was that Duke Huan of Qi achieved the hegemony of the princes and formed a alliance with the world, but did not make great moves or forceful conquests. These were mainly achieved by Guan Zhong's talent. He did not use large-scale wars to conquer and conquer the people everywhere, and did not cause more suffering from wars. Therefore, Guan Zhong can be called "benevolence".
Of course, Guan Zhong is indeed a very amazing person, and there is no doubt about this.
Fei Qian had no intention of belittle Guan Zhong. "Zigong asked Confucius, "Guan Zi was not a benevolent person?" Confucius scolded him and said that Guan Zi had the prime minister of Duke Huan, who was dominating the princes and conquering the world. Now the people received his gift. If Guan Zi was a small man and a woman, she would be left-handed. Is it better to be forgiven by ordinary men and women, and they would not know anything about it? How dare you ask this?"
Fei Qian smiled.
Lu Chang couldn't laugh anymore.
Compared with later Confucianism, at least in the Confucius era, Confucianism had its own flexibility, so Confucius praised Guan Zhong's behavior, and at the same time showed that Confucius had envy and no jealousy or hatred for Guan Zhong.
However, if Guan Zhong really knew about it, he might look disdainful of Confucius' evaluation.
Guan Zhong is a politician whose ideal is to achieve hegemony, rather than being a benevolent person who seeks fame and reputation. Therefore, the so-called Confucian concepts such as "benevolence" and "loyalty and righteousness" are likely to be ignored by Guan Zhong.
But these did not prevent Fei Qian from using Confucius' words to hit Lu Chang's head.
Don’t you people from Shandong praise Confucius?
Don’t you all follow the examples?
Now Confucius thinks that Guan Zhong turns his head to assist Prince Xiaobai is a thing worthy of praise. So isn’t the so-called “loyalty and righteousness” that Lu Chang insists on is a “every husband and wife” act?
"What Guanzi looks at is "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians"!" Lu Chang stared at Fei Qian and said, "It's not Xiang Xiaobai!"
"If you don't know if you don't know if you can "respecte the king and expel the barbarians"?" Fei Qian said naturally, "What's more, "respecting the king" for the time being, is this "resisting the barbarians"... Haha..."
Fei Qian laughed but said nothing.
Lu Chang's face changed.
Fei Qian's words are all soft knives, but they are even sharper than real swords and guns.
Lu Chang thought about it and then thought, and the expression on his face turned around for a while, and then changed, and sweat also appeared on his forehead and temples.
Fei Qian was not in a hurry, nor did he continue to force Lu Chang with words.
After a long time, Lu Chang let out a long breath, his whole body seemed a little sluggish, and his voice became hoarse, "Do you have any drinks?"
