Tian Feng beat his chest and almost gave Zhou Yuanfu a few blows.
"If it were so easy to suppress the rebellion, you, the general who begged the invaders, would be everywhere. Don't think that just because you opportunistically defeated Bajun, you underestimated the rebel force. There are hundreds of thousands of cavalry who can conquer and fight well. If you want to use three
To be able to win with thousands of barbarian soldiers is a fool's dream!"
Seeing that Tian Feng was angry, Zhou Yuanfu didn't dare to interrupt, so he honestly refilled Tian Feng's tea.
"Old man, don't be angry. I was confused too. Just now you said that the barbarians were so good at fighting that the Qiang people lost their armor. Why can't it be our turn? Could it be that we have too few soldiers?
Go back and call someone again?"
Cui Niupi asked in confusion, his tone was similar to that of a gangster brother.
"Even if you have 30,000 barbarian soldiers, you may not be able to suppress the rebellion! I have carefully considered this matter. In these two victorious battles, the barbarians fought in Yizhou. The terrain chosen was basically mountainous, which was conducive to the failure of the barbarian soldiers.
It is beneficial to the cavalry, so the Qiang and Hu cavalry suffered a big loss. If it were in an open area, these barbarians might not be able to take such a huge advantage."
"In addition, these barbarian soldiers have a big shortcoming, you must pay attention to it." Tian Feng warned again.
Zhou Yuanfu did not dare to express his anger and listened carefully. Cui Niubi wanted to speak again, but Guan Yu covered his mouth.
"These barbarian soldiers cannot stay away from their hometown. The Han people may go to distant battlefields for the sake of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism or the righteousness of being punished even though they are far away, but the barbarians are different from the Han people. No matter whether they use righteousness or high officials and generous salaries, it is difficult to keep them away from their homeland.
This Bashan Shu River is their home. Let them defend their hometown and they will spare no effort, even throwing their heads and blood. Now you can take them to Meiyang, but if you let them go to Liangzhou to suppress the rebellion, they will probably all flee back to their hometown halfway, so
At best, it just gives you more courage."
"And try not to let the barbarians fight the cavalry on the plains. If you can win the battle, you can still show your military power. If you can't win the battle, I am afraid that the reputation that the Bancheng barbarians have built up over hundreds of years will be destroyed. By then, the Qiang and Hu coalition forces will
They will set their sights on Yizhou, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
After Tian Feng finished speaking, Zhou Yuanfu broke out in a cold sweat. It is true that there is an old man in the family, and if there is a treasure, Tian Feng's knowledge is indeed better.
"Thanks to Uncle Tian's reminder, if not for this, I might have actually led these three thousand barbarians as the vanguard to help the court put down the rebellion." Zhou Yuanfu said sadly.
"Does Yuan Fu really want to work for the imperial court?" Tian Feng frowned and said.
After hearing Tian Feng's words, the other brothers also pricked up their ears and listened.
"How is it possible? The imperial court is like this. The world will definitely be in chaos in a few years. How can I really work for the imperial court? I just want to use this opportunity to get promoted again, so that it will be easier for us to plan Yizhou." Zhou Yuanfu said.
.
After everyone heard this, most of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you killed the Liangzhou rebels for the imperial court, then the imperial court will turn around and deal with the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Guandong. When the time comes, our situation will be even more difficult. Can Yuan Fu consider this place?" Tian Feng sighed.
said.
When Zhou Yuanfu heard this, he felt as if he had woken up from a dream, and asked hesitantly: "Then I won't do anything, and we won't help each other. How about watching them fight and lose both sides?"
"Then how do you win over the people of Liangzhou? This is a rare opportunity. Whether it is to establish your authority or make friends, you must be prepared to take over Liangzhou in the future." Tian Feng taught earnestly.
"Then we are going to help the rebels? They are fighting in front, and we are causing trouble behind them?" Cui Niupi said.
"Confused! If the imperial army is really defeated and the rebels are allowed to invade the pass, you Cui Niubi will be the sinner of the ages! Moreover, you will lose everything by doing this. According to the current strength, the rebels are much stronger than us. You are so
Doing this can only encourage others' morale and destroy your own prestige!" Tian Feng really hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Cui Niubi became more honest after being scolded, racking his brains and frowning to think about things.
"In Uncle Yitian's opinion, it is best for me to prevent the rebels from entering Guanzhong without letting them suffer too much defeat. It is best for me to allow them to have the strength to continue to struggle with the army and gain a breathing space for our development?" Zhou Yuanfu
asked tentatively.
"Children can be taught!" Tian Feng stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Then what should be done specifically?" Zhou Yuanfu asked humbly.
"I'm not a cunning person, how do I know what to do?" Tian Feng spread his hands.
Zhou Yuanfu understood this time that Tian Feng had pointed out the general direction, and he didn't care how to do it specifically. This may be a strategic vision.
When Tian Feng came out to bid farewell, everyone frowned. This thing is easy to say, but difficult to do.
So until the team left the Tangluo Road, a group of brothers still didn't come up with a good idea.
"Brother-in-law, I think this old man Tian is deliberately creating problems for us. How could such a thing be done?" Gan Ning said, shaking his head.
Zhou Yuanfu also felt a headache after looking at him. Brother-in-law, you are a brother-in-law who calls you "kiss". You don't dare to provoke that cheap sister of yours.
"If we can accomplish this, we can compare with Emperor Guangwu's three thousand to one million." Cui Niupi also agreed.
"Emperor Guangwu defeated 400,000 troops with three thousand soldiers and horses?" Zhou Yuanfu had never heard of this history, so he asked curiously.
"Yes, I love to hear stories. This story was told by the old man in the village. Anyway, we have nothing to do, so let's just take it as a relief."
"At that time, the Green Forest Army had just supported Liu Xuan as emperor, and Wang Mang sent the Grand Sima Wang Yi to lead an army of more than 400,000 people, known as one million, to put down the rebellion. At that time, Emperor Guangwu was only one of the rebels, and he only had a few thousand people under his command.
Guarding Kunyang. A few thousand people had no chance of winning against 400,000 people, so Wang Yi didn't take Liu Xiu seriously. He refused to allow Liu Xiu to surrender, and even threatened to massacre the city."
"Emperor Guangwu is worthy of being the chosen one, and he was able to turn defeat into victory under such circumstances. Legend has it that a meteor crashed into the Wangyi camp, and the soldiers were frightened. Then Emperor Guangwu took advantage of this opportunity and led only 3,000 death squads to charge, and defeated them in one fell swoop.
The king has an army of more than 400,000. That’s what it means to gain wealth through danger. If we have such good luck, I guess my eldest brother will be able to become king and emperor in the future, haha."
Cui Niupi said without hesitation.
"If my brother-in-law becomes the emperor, wouldn't I become the uncle of the state, which would be almost the same as General He Jin now?" Gan Ning also said excitedly.
Xu Huang burst out laughing when he heard this, and Guan Yu and Zhang Liao also felt hot in their eyes, but they didn't show it so obviously after all.
"Brother Gan, you are mistaken. If the eldest brother becomes emperor, then Mrs. Du will be the real queen, and your sister will probably have to..."
Cui Niupi was about to analyze the difference between the main room and the side room to Gan Ning.
"Shut up! In today's army, if you two continue to speak so openly, military law will be enforced!"
Zhou Yuanfu shouted loudly, Cui Niupi and Gan Ning both blushed and did not dare to speak.
Zhou Yuanfu felt that what he said might be too harsh, so he said seriously: "Since Brother Cui Niubi has told a story, I will also tell one. I hope the two brothers can understand the meaning."
"It is said that there were two brothers. One day they saw a wild goose flying overhead. The elder brother picked up his bow and aimed at the wild goose, and said, shoot it down and stew it. The younger brother said by the side, what is better to eat stewed or roasted?
It was very popular. The elder brother put down his bow and arrow and argued with his younger brother. The two argued endlessly, and finally decided to divide the goose into two halves, stew one half and eat the other half roast. After discussing, the two fired their bows and arrows again, but the wild goose had already flown away.
Already."
After Zhou Yuanfu finished speaking, he sighed and looked deeply at the two of them.
Gan Ning swallowed when he heard this and looked up at the sky, "The method of these two brothers is really good. Half of it is roasted and half of it is stewed. One goose has both flavors. It's just a pity that the goose flew away.
"Brother-in-law, please wait while I go and see if there are any pheasants, hares, and the like. Although they are not as delicious as wild geese, they can satisfy the craving after all. Let's roast half of them and stew them. How about eating one chicken and two?" Then ignore it.
Everyone looked astonished and went hunting on horseback.
Zhou Yuanfu opened his mouth, not knowing how to express his feelings at this time.
"Brother Gan must have a missing piece of his head. When my eldest brother told this story, he only thought about eating one chicken and two. It's really unreasonable."
Cui Niupi shook his head, seeming to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel. Zhou Yuanfu finally felt a little comforted when he heard this. As long as Cui Niupi understood, it would be a good thing not to talk nonsense in the future.
"I understand what brother means! Don't worry, brother. If I see wild geese in the future, I will order someone to shoot them down. In addition, wild geese are in groups. No matter whether they are fried, fried or stewed in marinade, let brother
Eat enough in one meal! I can’t do it if a meteor falls from the sky, but it’s no problem to shoot a few wild geese to satisfy my brother’s hunger.”
Zhou Yuan was so happy that he wanted to curse again, but suddenly he remembered the story Cui Niubi told just now, high-fived him and said, "I have a way to defeat the thief!"
