Chapter 3502 Really busy
Lu Su is almost at Tongguan.
The canopy car was shaking, and Lu Su's thoughts were shaking.
Lu Su looks leisurely on the surface, but in fact he is very busy.
Not only are you busy observing and memorizing, but you also have to busy calculating and predicting.
Is Shandong losing like this?
Lu Su has always been almost Tongguan, and he still feels a little disbelief.
He knew that the cavalry had a great advantage, but he didn't expect it to be so big!
This is not only the doubt of Lu Su, but also the doubt of many gentry children from Shandong to Jiangdong. Is this the end of this?
They may not necessarily respect Prime Minister Cao very much, but they will definitely respect Prime Minister Cao’s troops!
Those are tens of thousands of elite soldiers!
Although Cao Cao often publicizes his hundreds of thousands of people at any time, Lu Su also knows that it is empty, no matter how empty it is, there should be tens of thousands of people. If you compress it, there will definitely be a lot of people with tens of thousands of people!
Tens of thousands of people, even tens of thousands of pigs, are not easy to chop and kill...
So, is Prime Minister Cao's ability too poor?
If I go...
How much is the permanent military force in Jiangdong?
Jiangdong claimed to the outside world that there were 300,000, but in fact, the permanent troops were only about 30,000.
And there are many others who are navy troops!
In the emergency, if you expand it urgently, you can use a veteran to lead the second new recruits, or the first and third ranks to more than 100,000 people. However, many of them are just peasant soldiers who have not undergone serious training and go into battle with spears. Compared with the Yellow Turban thieves, they probably have one more piece of ragged armor...
Under such circumstances, the Cavalry claimed 80,000 people, and the people in Jiangdong, Shandong basically believed that the Cavalry Army had only about 10,000 or 20,000.
Isn’t it the same for judging others by yourself?
So the soldiers of this or 20,000 defeated Cao Cao's nearly 100,000?!
Not to mention Lu Su, even Zhou Yu doesn’t believe it!
Zhou Yu had already estimated that the Cavalry Army was higher, saying that Fei's potential was generally balanced against Cao Cao, so Jiangdong betting would be a decisive force...
Now, afterwards, Zhou Yu's view is obviously wrong...
If I had known that, I would have persuaded Zhou Yu to engage in Jiangbei...
Lu Su was thinking without any moral integrity.
Is politics, what is morality?
Especially in Jiangdong.
The Jiangdong gentry did not dare to say that they had participated directly in Sun Ce's death, but they must have provided convenience. Otherwise, Sun Ce's hunting position and daily behavioral habits would be really information that several assassins could get at any time?
But even if Emperor Sun knew about it, what could he do?
Others don’t know whether the relationship between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong gentry is good or bad, whether it is an opposition or peace. Can Lu Su not know?
Sun Quan hated the Jiangdong gentry to the core! But is it useful to turn against each other? Emperor Sun and the Jiangdong gentry have turned against each other several times? After turning against each other, wouldn’t he have to lower his head and invite Zhang Zhao to be a peacemaker? Otherwise, Zhang Zhao’s slutty face would really think Sun Quan would be willing to see it?
If the Jiangdong gentry was the first to die, the second one would definitely be Zhang Zhao!
So, what a person wants and what he can really do are often different.
Now Lu Su doesn't know that Jiangdongzhe has fallen, so he has not yet determined what he will do next...
After all, according to Jiangdong's urinary nature, Jiangdong's "hobby" and "peaceful" are actually a major premise!
If Jiangdong can easily send out some troops and horses, they can push Jiangbei. Let’s see if Jiangdong will continue to maintain peace?
If you fight, not only will you not be able to fight, but you will also lose your troops and generals. So who is willing to fight?
Therefore, Lu Su thinks that Jiangdong’s external strategy should be adjusted?
He came to Tongguan instead of continuing to wait in Chang'an, just to see with his own eyes whether there was such a decisive change in the war between Fei Qian and Cao Cao.
The Jiangbei forces that Jiangdong people fear now, Cao Cao, were pushed down by the Han Han in Guanxi...
The great man in Kansai...
Lu Su glanced at the hussar cavalry on both sides of the vehicle, which was actually the surveillance of the Hussar cavalry.
It is indeed big and round waist, compared with the gentry children in Jiangdong who always pinch orchids...
never mind.
It's a problem!
The iron cavalry surging to the west, after Dong Zhuo, the three-color flags flying were about to spread to Shandong, or even the whole world?
It should, maybe, maybe, not so fast?
But who can say it correctly?
Just like this time Cao's army was defeated at the same time, it seemed like a collapsed dam. When I first saw it, I saw it still there, and then when I looked at it again, it was gone.
In fact, Lu Su also knew that there was no way out to defend Jiangdong alone.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu were all despised wilderness places.
Guanzhong is shaking now, but the former land of Chu State, and Jiangdong, is not yet a good economic takeoff.
If the Yangtze River is closed, although the river is maintained and used as a barrier to natural danger, it is also trapped by the river.
There is no boat in Jiangdong, but if there are too many boats, it will be dragged down by the boat.
The Central Plains of Jiangbei and the farther Guanzhong area can not be conquered by ships alone.
If the Jiangdong Navy troops were deducted, the soldiers on the Jiangdong land would be too weak.
At the same time, the products of Jiangdong are not the hometown of fish and rice developed in later generations in the Jin Dynasty. There are a shortage of craftsmen in various industries and the means of production are relatively thin, so they cannot fight a protracted war.
Everyone likes to be hard and firm, but in fact...
Lu Su smiled bitterly.
I know my own affairs. Although Jiangdong looks like I am the best in the world, in fact, I really go into battle, that is, "You are so big, you are so bad, you... are you... that's all?"
In history, Emperor Sun always had 100,000 troops and was very powerful. Then the reinforcements from other parts of the Cao army were still on the way, and then he heard the news that he had finished fighting...
It’s not easy for Jiangdong!
Now Jiangdong is cautious in its management, he uses the intrigue between Jiangbei Feiqian and Cao Cao to try to gain more space, but now...
When he saw the various war wreckages in Tongguan, Lu Su suddenly felt sad and sad in his heart.
I don’t know if Prime Minister Cao still has room for a turnaround this time…
If there is, it would be better. If not, if it is true, as Zhou Yu expected, the day after the north of the Yangtze River is unified and the collapse of Jiangdong will be a matter of time.
Jiangdong is really difficult!
Too difficult!
Why was Cao's army defeated?
Lu Su made inferences afterwards, and then he found some problems more or less.
It is always easier to turn things back afterwards than to expect in advance.
The first point is that something went wrong with the core troops of Cao's army.
The core unit of Cao's army is the Central Guards, built by Qingzhou soldiers and relatives of the Cao family.
This army was in the hands of Cao Cao, and it was very impressive, and it was only a big deal, but this army had a huge disadvantage, which was that it only had projects but no projects!
Without new blood replenishment, only continuous injuries, even the strongest body cannot hold on!
The children of the gentry all said that the cheap life below is like grass mustard and is not worth cherishing. But grass mustard grow once a year, but what if a generation of untouchables want to grow, how can they not have time?
Cao Cao ate 300,000 people in Qingzhou in one breath, so fat that he was so hot that he could even sting. However, after the two Yuan fought in a row, they fought on several battlefields. Could it be that there would be no casualties at all?
The string is already tight!
Why didn’t anyone notice it beforehand? So, can’t Cao Cao understand this?
Lu Su took a breath and suddenly realized something in his heart.
It’s not that I don’t understand, but that at that time, I had to do so!
This is the second question. Why can’t Cao Cao get supplements in Shandong?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t Cao Cao represent the Han Dynasty, the emperor, and the leader of the gentry in Jiangbei, Shandong?
The problems contained in this have to remind Lu Su of Jiangdong.
I remembered Sun Quan.
So this time, Lu Su was not in a hurry along the way, and even intended to walk a little slower.
Anyway, the war has come to an end, and no matter how anxious it is, it cannot change the result. It is better to slow down and take a good look.
The army is a gold-swallowing beast, and no matter how much it eats, it looks like a bottomless pit.
There are more than 10,000 people stationed in Tongguan now, and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating every day is a huge number.
In Tongguan, Lu Su didn’t know the situation, but looking at the Linzhi Plateau outside Tongguan, there were six food sheds alone, and smoke was constantly cooking every day!
Lu Su estimated it slightly in his heart, and it was thumping...
Of course it is impossible to let soldiers eat enough to eat so much that they are full of oil, but at least they can’t be hungry, but how much does this item cost?
At least five or six hundred stones of food should be consumed a day.
This does not include the forage from war horses.
When did Guanzhong become so arrogant?
The issue of supplying large troops is no longer a trivial matter, but when it comes to the army stationed, I am actually more worried about harassing the place.
Generally speaking, the troops gathered in the war are not soldiers stationed in a certain place for a long time, nor do they have any friendship with local merchants. They may even feel that they have gone to the battlefield and are not sure whether they have returned from their lives. Naturally, they will not be polite to the local area, let alone show mercy. They will die on the battlefield at any time, who can give face to resist the arrival of the god of death? Therefore, any forced buying, selling, or even harassment and plundering may occur.
Didn’t Sun Quan want to attack before?
Lu Su often wiped the butts of those big-headed soldiers.
So now Lu Su is wondering, this cavalry army...
It's really weird!
If you can not leave the camp for a few days, it will be considered a good army, and it will be a bit of a ban on orders.
If you can hold back and move for more than ten days, it is already a strict military discipline and is worthy of praise.
And now the Cavalry Army gathered here, it has been twenty or thirty days, right?
In the past twenty or thirty days, these cavalry troops did not have any conflicts with the Three Auxiliary Places in Guanzhong?
This is obviously beyond Lu Su's cognitive scope.
Military disasters, military disasters, are not casual talk.
In the feudal dynasty, local forces disliked the central military forces involved in local affairs, and there were some reasons for this. It was easy to ask for gods and it was difficult to send them to gods. If the forefront bandits were eliminated, the back foot would suffer greater disasters. After repeated experiences and lessons, local governments naturally formed administrative templates that concealed the superiors and did not hide the subordinates. If they could cover the lid, they should be smoothed out first. They must wait until they were decayed to the end before they cried and looked for the central government.
But why didn't the cavalry army have these disadvantages?
Lu Su couldn't understand at all.
After all, there are many Hu people in the Cavalry Army. Those guys with dark skin and curly beards have a big difference in appearance from the people of the Central Plains, which is easy to identify.
When Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang before, wasn’t it just these Hu people who forced themselves to take advantage of it, which made people angry and resentful?
This time, Lu Su not only represented the emperor to meet the cavalry, but also represented Jiangdong to take a look and explore the future direction of Jiangdong...
...
...
Fei Qian is very busy now.
Not only are he busy dealing with writing and government affairs, but he is also busy training troops.
The composition of the Cavalry Army is actually divided into several parts.
The skeleton that Fei Qian used to build was the core force left by Dong Zhuo.
For example, Dong Zhuo’s Feixiong Army back then...
I don’t know what Dong Zhuo thought at that time. Can the bear be so fat and still fly? Anyway, this part of the flying bear army was later dismantled into two parts by Fei Qian, one in Guanzhong, and the other part was sent to Beimo.
As for the muscles that are replenished later, it is even more complicated.
There are people from Longyou, people from Guanzhong, people from the north, ordinary good families, ordinary people from the bottom, and even refugees from other places. These people can indeed be called rare powerful troops in the current Han Dynasty in repeated battles. The training of combat skills has reached a very good level, but due to the constraints of the times, there is actually a big gap between them and the image of a soldier in Fei Qian's mind.
In fact, it is already surprising that it can reach its current level. After all, most of the army of feudal dynasties have very ordinary military disciplines, and some even acts that can be compared with evil spirits. When recruited, they are mixed with fish and dragons, and most of them do not have any formal training. When they go to the battlefield, the ones that restrict or encourage them to fight are often money and promotion. What is used to maintain daily order is whipping and beheading, and the thirteenth or fifty-fourth, are the same.
Fei Qian spent most of his time in Guanzhong before. Although he would go to the training grounds outside Chang'an from time to time to see the non-commissioned officers' training, he was indeed a certain distance from ordinary soldiers. Now when he returned to the army, he found some problems in the army of this era, and there were vague signs of revival.
With the defeat of Cao's army, Fei Qian's prestige rose to a new level.
Nowadays, Fei Qian said something, which is that thousands of troops respond and thousands of people follow...
This is the power brought by authority.
The lower the person, the louder he speaks, the louder he often has when he speaks because no one listens.
The higher the people, the less they speak, the less voice they are, because no one dares not disobey them.
Of course, once the people on the upper level roared heart-wrenchingly, they were actually very beautiful...
For example, when Yuan Shu shouted that there was no honey water.
When Yuan Shu spoke loudly, I'm afraid he never thought that one day he roared and no one paid attention to him, right?
Every time Fei Qian thinks of these, he should remind himself once.
Be cautious and be careful. Once you are arrogant, it is often a sign of destruction.
With such introspection, Fei Qian did find some problems.
The issue of the cavalry.
Ma Yue is just one of the external manifestations.
With Cao Cao's defeat, many military soldiers and soldiers of the Cavalry began to be blindly optimistic, and even began to think about the champagne at the halftime, planning what position to be promoted, how many rewards to be given, and it would be better to have to work in that place in Shandong...
So, Fei Qian started training troops.
He personally led the instructor to train soldiers.
This is the most direct reason why these Hussar soldiers are all honest now.
Every day, I practice on Linzhiyuan and feel exhausted. How can I have time and energy to go to other places to cause trouble?
As for other reasons...
Although no one said it clearly, most people know that after the Eastern Expedition, there will inevitably be large-scale promotions!
The carrots are hung in front of you and you can already smell the sweet smell, so all Fei Qian's requirements will be regarded as a precursor to promotion. No one wants to be left behind at this time. Even if he doesn't understand some of Fei Qian's requirements, he will cooperate with the implementation as much as possible.
On the one hand, Fei Qian has some experience bonuses from later generations, and on the other hand, these cavalry soldiers are not bad themselves, and there is also such an expectation waiting, so they cooperate very well when they train. In one or two days, they can't tell anything, but after more than ten days and twenty days, they slowly produce results.
Fei Qian stood above the head of Tongguan City, touching the beard on his chin, and watching the soldiers under the city practice.
Military training is originally a process of grinding human nature, or eliminating personality, and pieced together scattered individuals into an organic whole. In this process, individuals' wishes will be erased bit by bit during the queue exercise until they are cultivated into murder machines without psychological concerns.
This is why the targets of military training should be anthropomorphized as much as possible.
Because the army is really meant to kill people...
But this kind of behavior is anti-human.
Human nature is greed, lazy and greedy.
It takes more than twenty days to develop a habit, but destroying a habit may only require one thought.
These twenty days of high-intensity training and queue ritual drills, with Fei Qian's careful training, almost beat the slightest and uneasy of these cavalry soldiers again!
Under the city, the soldiers of the military academy were all dark, but the murderous aura emanated from the queue, and even the sun in the sky seemed to have dropped by three minutes!
A person is small, but when he gathers into a group, especially in a powerful group, he becomes powerful, and this kind of power will infect every element in this group.
Some of the original scattered and impetuous auras have basically disappeared.
Under the three-colored flag, such a soldier representing iron and blood is the army that Fei Qian wants.
"Lord, Lu Zijing has arrived."
Huang Xu arrived at Fei Qian and reported to him.
Fei Qian nodded slightly, "It's coming just right..."
If Fei Qian had not tempered these soldiers a few days ago, he would have made Lu Su, who seemed honest and actually intelligent, find some flaws. Now...
Chapter completed!
