Generally speaking, the three areas of Guanzhong, Sichuan, Sichuan, and Shangdang Taiyuan are somewhat similar to rivers and mountains on the outside and inside, and they are pretty good. However, Hanzhong and Longyou, one is slightly smaller, and the other is more desolate.
None of them are that good. Bingzhou, that is, the area under the Yinshan Mountains and the Hedong area, is pretty good. Most of the other places are uninhabited areas.
So overall, the actual cultivated area in Feiqian is relatively small, at least much smaller than in areas such as Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou.
The area of cultivated land is small, so there is less financial, material and manpower to support it, and the number of soldiers who can explode is also small. Coupled with the mysterious confidence in cultural knowledge, I also feel that Fei Qian's territory actually seems very big, but
In fact, there aren't many places to use it, it's like tasteless ribs, not much meat.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been debating in court whether to give up Xiliang...
This is also the concept of ordinary Han people.
Of course, this concept also affected Guo Jia.
It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to change a person's concept, especially to change an inherent concept that has been formed. It is simply difficult to reach the sky.
Therefore, just let Guo Jia see it for himself, and Fei Qian won't say anything about the rest, just assuming that Guo Jia is a pilot character. Guo Jia was not polite, and wandered around accompanied by the guards of Fei Qian's faction.
…
The first thing Guo Jia found strange was the living standard of Feiqian's soldiers.
These days, the general supply level of soldiers is not very high, so most of the soldiers have good looks. However, although it cannot be said that everyone under Fei Qian's face is shiny, at least they seem to have basically got rid of the illness and weakness.
It seemed that after seeing the food and drink of Fei Qian's soldiers, he couldn't help but be surprised.
I heard that Feiqian's soldiers were treated well, but after all, hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes are still two different things.
Guo Jia knew the situation of Cao Cao's troops. For the general troops of Cao Cao's army, they may not be able to have full stomachs during war, let alone non-war times. However, Fei's soldiers had such a big black flour cake.
One person can take two for one meal! Even though this black flour cake is mixed with some wheat bran, the important thing is that it is full in portion, and more importantly, there is broth, and the broth with salt is added.
You can drink broth for two days...
"The hussars treat the soldiers too well... Even the soldiers of tigers and wolves are tired when they are well fed, and lazy when they are tired, so... it is really..." Guo Jia shook his head and muttered to himself, not paying attention to the guards behind him who rolled their eyes.
After hearing the guard's report, Fei Qian could only shake his head.
From this point it can be seen that the Shandong nobles did not regard the soldiers as human beings, but as minions and tools, just like raising hunting dogs, half-fed and half-starved, and then won the battle.
After that, you can grab money, food, and women to make up for the shortcomings accumulated in daily life, and then enter the next cycle after spending the difference...
Yes, the hunger strategy is also a strategy, just like many companies in later generations also use it for external marketing and internal management. However, the hunger strategy is not used everywhere. Similarly, the hunger strategy also has many disadvantages, among other things.
Just one soldier is like a locust, which is enough to describe such a problem.
Leaving aside Guo Jia, this time Fei Qian personally led the troops and held such an armed parade. In addition to being disappointed with the Shandong gentry, there were losses and many gains. The reason why Fei Qian mobilized the troops this time was very simple. Answer, but it is also very complicated. On the whole, the effect is generally good. First of all, it achieves the effect of the demonstration.
I don’t know if it was because the war between the Han and the Xiongnu was the reason why the Han won in the end, which caused the Han to be in a relatively proud state towards the Hu people, and it remained so for a long time, and it is still like this until now, and then the Five Huns disrupted the Chinese. Broken...
So regarding Fei Qian's previous achievements and achievements in fighting against the barbarians, most Shandong nobles thought, well, it's not bad, it's okay, but what about Major General Fei Qian's military strength? It is very important. It is in a state where we know that Fei Qian's soldiers and horses are stronger, but how strong they are is not clear. Even with Tai Shici's radiant light, he still cannot form a relatively complete impression on these Shandong nobles, because in In their mind, their soldiers and horses can also defeat the barbarians, so Feiqian's achievements on these borders are not bad, that is, they are not bad.
Of course, this is also a fact. After all, Cao Cao also had face-to-face encounters with the Wuhuan people in history.
Therefore, there was a series of actions to seduce Fei Qian, and even sent personnel to assassinate him, because many people, including Cao Cao, always had the illusion that they could deal with it...
A year or two ago, Fei Qian basically endured it. Because at that time there were still things around him that had not been settled, and the border was not very stable. But this time, since he has freed up his hands, there is no need to continue to endure it. After thinking about it, After that, there was such a demonstration-like military operation.
After the show of force, the effect was pretty good. Although some of the additional things that Fei Qian originally envisioned were not achieved, basically the overall goal was achieved. I believe that after this military demonstration, not many people would dare to tease him again. Fei dived.
Regarding the inherent concepts of Shandong nobles, some are surprising, and some are reasonable. The communication level is backward these days, and the speed of information transmission is extremely slow. Except for urgent military information, many messages are slow, even Some were simply lost on the road...
Therefore, it was not difficult for Cao Cao to conceal Fei Qian's information before. It was easy to fabricate rumors about Fei Qian in Yuzhou and Yanzhou. After all, whether it was Cao Cao's Xiahou family or Xun's Chen family, they were all from the Central Plains. Since the family was a big family and had a long history, the local people were naturally more inclined to believe the news spread by Cao Cao and others.
But now, Fei Qian has gone straight to Xu County. Cao Cao cannot completely cover up what he has shown along the way, and the little seeds of suspicion that have arisen among the people may have other uses in the future...
Thinking of the word "use", Fei Qian glanced at Yang Xiu in the distance.
Although it is said that the troops will be withdrawn, some of the benefits that should be taken away still have to be taken away, and transporting these things is not a simple matter. Luoyang and Yangcheng are garrison cities, and apart from military supplies, there are very few
There are other things, but Yangzhai is different. There are still some people in the surrounding area, etc. But the problem is that Fei Qian doesn't want to waste time because of these things, so maybe leaving it to Yang Xiu to deal with is also a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone?
"Dezu is exempt from courtesy..." Fei Qian looked at Yang Xiu who had rushed in front of him with a smile, and said, "This time Dezu has accompanied the army, made suggestions, sent documents to the captives, and also made meritorious deeds. Now I am returning to Guanzhong, where is this place?"
, although it is said that Cao Sikong will be given over, how to give it up... is still cumbersome. After thinking about it, only Dezu can be worthy of the great responsibility! I wonder if Dezu is willing to serve as the Yin of Henan?"
Henan Yinma, before Luoyang was burned down, could be regarded as a pretty important job, similar to the mayor of Kyoto in later generations. Although he was named mayor, his authority was actually not small, and his influence was not small. But now
After the burning of Luoyang, some areas were still controlled by Cao Cao, so it was actually much smaller. But the names are still there, just like this boss and that boss in later generations, and there are all bosses in the same room.
.
"Soldiers..." Fei Qian smiled, with a gentle look, "There are about three thousand soldiers who have been surrendered. None of them are taken, and all are left... food, grass, utensils, property and labor, there are many in this city.
Young Master... As for the military affairs, Cao Sikong must not dare to move easily after this series of battles, and General Hangu Taishi is on hand to support him... What does Dezu want? If he doesn't want to, it's okay..."
Fei Qian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The sweat rolled down Yang Xiu's back.
Is Henan Yin good?
Would Fei Qian, who was not easy to pawn, but could pawn well, give it to himself? Obviously it was impossible.
Yang Xiu knew, "If you don't want to, it doesn't matter." These eight words didn't really mean that it didn't matter whether you agreed or not, but Fei Qian said that there would be no such store after passing this village. If you express your unwillingness now,
Then it’s really “nothing”!
If you become Henan Yin, then it is more or less equivalent to two thousand stones, and it can also be regarded as a new beginning for the Yang family. But similarly, if you encounter some problems in the process...
Yang Xiu was silent for a moment, lowered his head, "With the Lord's kindness, Xiu should do his best!"
Fei Qian nodded, called Xun You, and asked Xun You and Yang Xiu to hand over.
Xun You glanced at Yang Xiu slightly and nodded. Without saying anything, he began to count and check the surrendered troops and some materials on hand with Yang Xiu.
Fei Qian now has a fresh edict in hand, which can directly entrust officials with two thousand shi and two thousand shi. Therefore, although Henan Yin is beyond Fei Qian's jurisdiction, it is not a big problem.
The position of Henan Yin is risky, and there are many follow-up problems. Fei Qian knows it, and Yang Xiu also knows it. Fei Qian also knows that Yang Xiu knows it, and Yang Xiu also knows that Fei Qian knows it.
Because of Cai Yong, although the Yang family seems to be okay on the surface, in fact both Fei Qian and Yang Xiu understand that this apparent peace of mind is just for others to see. Either the Yang family is slowly
Under Fei Qian, the foundation was cut off bit by bit and suffocated to death, or Fei Qian fell first and the Yang family regained its vitality.
Originally, the Yang family had no choice, but now they have one more area. They can regain an area, but they need to take risks and it exists as a buffer zone between Fei Qian and Cao Cao...
Obviously, Yang Xiu chose the latter.
"It's great to be young..."
Fei Qian watched Xun You and Yang Xiu leave and left, and he also laughed. Yang Xiu couldn't hold it back, just like Yang Xiu couldn't hold back in history. Maybe Yang Xiu also thought he could deal with those problems.
, or maybe he thought that the Yang family behind him could handle it, just like Cao Cao once thought he could handle Fei Qian.
Those who also have the same idea and think that they can control everything are not only Cao Cao, nor Yang Xiu. Perhaps even Fei Qian cannot avoid it sometimes, not to mention that he is usually in the government office, and there is no such thing.
By some chance, Cai, the mother-in-law of Liu Biao in Jingxiang, came into contact with outside information...
Mrs. Cai always thought that Liu Biao was under her nose and under her control. She even thought that Liu Biao was on the verge of death and would have only a few days to live. But what she never thought was that she would gain all these things.
The information was all arranged by Liu Biao and specially shown to her.
Cai just watched Liu Biao enter the small room at first, and then she worried that she had contracted the epidemic. Although she paid greetings every day, she basically wandered outside the small room and never entered the room again. Therefore, even if Cai arranged
She had to hire personnel for guarding, but she never thought that since she could secretly deploy personnel, Liu Biao could also arrange his own personnel without her knowledge.
After all, Liu Biao is still the lord of Jingzhou on the surface, and Cai's actions can only be done secretly. For Liu Biao, who has already had some psychological defenses, Cai's so-called secretive actions are not actually that covert.
.
But speaking of it, this time, Liu Biao's condition was indeed more dangerous, but it was not directly fatal, nor was it as bad as Cai thought, especially after Liu Biao's people secretly found Zhang Ji, and his condition was under control.
However, it is only control.
"Shijun, the wound has healed a lot..." After Zhang Ji checked Liu Biao's wound, he reapplied the medicine and whispered, "I used gold and stone to stimulate the original essence, but it was only temporarily suppressed and could only remove the mark.
It's difficult to remove the root... I remind you to be careful, if it happens again, I'm afraid... However, I heard that Hua Tuo's extraordinary medical skills can remove decayed flesh and white bones. If you encounter it, there may be a chance of recovery...
…』
"Hua Tuo..." Liu Biao muttered the name, and then said, "Thank you, sir... Mr. Hua Tuo's life-saving grace will be unforgettable..." What also made Liu Biao unforgettable was not only this illness.
, but the behavior shown by Cai during his illness...
Zhang Jiren was not stupid. After a few words of humility, he didn’t say much. After taking the medicine, he quietly left under the leadership of Liu Biao’s escort. He neither asked why Liu Biao couldn’t see a doctor during the day nor why he couldn’t see a doctor every day.
You have to be secretive every time, just as if everything is normal and all abnormalities are invisible... After all, since it is abnormal, there must be something going on, and the less you know about things like this, the safer you will be.
Liu Biao was stroking a jade jade, and the new medicine on his back seemed to bring some coolness.
"For your information, my lord... General Cai has taken Jiangxia and will be taking charge soon..."
"It's faster..." Liu Biao mused, and then handed the jade Zhang out in his hand, "Take this quickly and go find General Wen!" Cai thought that no one knew what he was planning, but it was just what he thought.
That's all. However, Liu Biao also thought that no one knew what he was planning...
