Chapter 188 The turn-based system that exits the stage
Fei Qian watched Bao Xin and Cao Cao lead their troops away and disappeared on the horizon. His heart was churning, and his emotions were so complicated that he didn't know how to express them for a moment.
In Fei Qian's memory, wasn't it that Cao Ca was ambushed and defeated when he was chasing Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops?
But now Cao Cao and Bao Xin actually set off with their troops, and Dong Zhuo's army had not retreated yet!
Fei Qian couldn't even confirm whether what he said to Cao Cao and Bao Xin affected their actions. If history was indeed changed because of him, would some things in the future also change accordingly?
Moreover, it was not Cao Cao who led the army this time, but Bao Xin, and Cao Cao only served as Bao Xin's deputy...
In fact, according to the current situation, this arrangement is normal. After all, Bao Xin is the upright Minister of Economic Affairs, and Cao Cao, ahem, if the wanted order at the city gate is still there, Cao Cao's identity is still
A fugitive on the run...
Speaking of fugitives, why hasn’t that traveling trio arrived at Jujube yet?
Could it be that he really went on a trip?
At this moment, there are only Kong Niao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao and other people in Suanzao. Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and even the two brothers of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, have not come.
Yuan Shao was establishing a government in Ye County, and Yuan Shu seemed to have sent troops to occupy Wancheng...
Could it be that Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, was the representative sent by Tao Qian? But it seems that Zhang Chao has never said this at all. If he really was a representative, then he would have put up a flag to represent him during the oath, but really
I didn’t see any flags with the word Tao on them.
It's good now, but Guan Yu didn't come, what should Hua Xiong do?
Originally, Fei Qian was thinking about seeing Liu Bei and getting in touch with him, but now, before Liu Bei came, Bao Xin and Cao Cao had already sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo!
Moreover, if two people merge into one place, the number is quite large...
Bao Xin's headquarters in Jibei County has about 10,000 soldiers. Cao Cao's Cao family army, that is, the recruits he recruited, is about 5,000. Then there is a man who followed Cao Cao, a man named Wei Zi, who also brought 2,000 soldiers.
Although Zhang Miao did not go into battle, he also assigned 3,000 troops for Cao Cao to lead. As a result, Bao Xin and Cao Cao's troops were close to 20,000.
Twenty thousand troops. The troops under Fei Qian's impression of Cao Cao's defeat were completely inconsistent with it. It was several times more...
Will Cao Cao really fail now?
Fei Qian was not sure, so he returned to the tent alone. After sitting for a while, after thinking about it, something was wrong, so he got up and went to find Huang Zhong.
Although Fei Qian himself had learned the "Six Tao", it was all just talk on paper and had not been verified in the field. He had little experience in soldier combat, so he simply came to find professionals.
At least on the way from Xiangyang to Suanzao, I saw that Huang Zhong was commanding with ease and ease. In any case, he must be better than himself. Therefore, if you have any questions, it is more appropriate to ask Huang Zhong for advice.
Huang Zhong and Huang Chengcheng live next door to Fei Qian's tent, just a few steps away.
In fact, Huang Zhong has been feeling restless these past few days. After all, his son's condition is like a stone weighing on his heart. If it is not solved for one day, his heart will feel heavy. Although he also knows that Fei Qian's stay at Suizao Jujube is also
It's as it should be, but you still worry and worry to some extent. This is also human nature.
When Fei Qian saw Huang Zhong and Huang Cheng, his first sentence did not ask his own question, but said to Huang Cheng: "Uncle Ye, could you please go and count the military supplies to see if there is any shortage? If it is ordinary supplies
, just replenish it in time, and if you can’t replenish it, make a list for me.”
Huang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, are we about to set off?"
Fei Qian nodded. Although he was a little regretful not to see Liu Bei's trio, time waited for no one and it was time to leave.
"Then I'll go get ready right away!" Huang Cheng crossed his hands and took the order to go out to count the military reserves. Huang Zhong was about to go with him, but Fei Qian pulled him back and said, "Han Sheng, that
Just leave the matter to Shuye alone. I have some questions that I would like to ask you for advice..."
When Huang Zhong learned that he was about to set off, his mood improved a lot. He smiled and said, "You are too polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Fei Qian actually had a question in mind when he set out from Xiangyang. When two armies faced each other in the Han Dynasty, the generals would argue with each other first, and then hit the iron with a clang. In the end, the victor shouted and the whole army was killed, and the iron was defeated.
One party immediately threw away his helmet and armor and fled in panic?
Huang Zhong laughed loudly after hearing this, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "Just because you have never led an army, it is normal not to know this, but you said that this situation has been a custom hundreds of years ago..."
"Hundreds of years... The meaning of Han Sheng is a custom of the Warring States Period?"
Huang Zhong considered it for a moment and said: "Yes, there are situations where the generals of the two armies are fighting in front of the formation as you mentioned, but they are very rare, and only when both parties agree will the situation you mentioned happen...
"
It turns out that because most of the cities, camps, military strongholds, etc. are built relatively solidly, and there are no equipment when marching, it would be more than worth the gain to rashly attack a unit with a favorable location. Therefore, most of the attackers will invite a fight, that is, send a few voices.
The big ones go to the city gates and strongholds to shout out words, write a letter of war, etc., and provoke the troops in the city camps to come out to fight, so as to avoid the disadvantages of attacking defensive facilities.
If the party with the advantageous location believes that it can be crushed by force, it will agree to the request for a battle and agree on the time of the confrontation in the letter of war. The two sides will fight against each other in accordance with the rules left over from the Warring States Period...
Of course, as a military general, your own martial prowess is also very important. If you can win in a battle of generals, it will also have a great positive effect on improving the morale of your side.
but!
Such situations are rare.
After all, one's own country has an advantage due to its favorable location, and few generals are willing to give up their own advantages to accommodate the enemy...
Moreover, the word "round", which refers to how many rounds a general fights, actually comes from the chariots of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period——
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the chariots of noble warriors passed by at a distance of several meters. The moment when the weapons met was "joining". If the chariots on the other side's chariots were not killed, the chariots could not stop immediately and had to keep moving.
Turn at a slow speed, turn around far away from the "joining" point, accelerate again and "join" again. This turning process is called "returning".
In the late Warring States period, as single-riding horses gradually replaced chariots, weapons like chariots gradually withdrew from history. Therefore, the so-called round of fighting among generals naturally became an ancient ritual.
Not common anymore…
Fei Qian couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This really subverted Fei Qian's concept, and it was quite hard to accept for a while...
