Chapter 2010 Small victory and big defeat, small boat and big boat
Huayan Lake is not the only lake in Mobei, Youzhou, but it is an area where herdsmen often stay. On this land, only by walking along the water source can you guarantee the lives of yourself and your livestock.
However, today, a killing is taking place near Huayan Lake.
The horse's belly is tightly clamped between the legs in front, and the scouts from Liaodong are escaping in a hurry, while those in pursuit are Zhang He and the Xianbei people...
Although Gongsun Du in Liaodong also had a lot of cavalry, they were different from the nomadic people who had been fighting for years. Therefore, when Gongsun's scout met Zhang He who was heading north, he was naturally unable to fight and fight, and he was unable to escape.
Everyone has lost their formation and can only see the enemy in front of them. One party just wants to escape, while the other party is desperate to intercept them.
Because of the direction of the wind, Zhang He and others did not pay attention to the arrows they shot intermittently when they were chasing the Liaodong scouts. Except for a few unlucky guys who were shot directly in the vital points, most of the arrows were in the wind.
The shot has lost its original power. Even if it is shot on the body, there will be only a brief moment of pain at most, as if it was hit by a stone. It will break the skin and bleed a little, but it will not hurt the bones and flesh at all.
Zhang He was rescued by the Xianbei people. Although Qian Laoshuang did not represent Zhang He's wishes to a certain extent and did not operate according to Zhang He's ideas, but now that the matter has come to this, is there any other way? Is it possible that he rushed back to plead guilty?
, saying that he is the one who protects and makes decisions is totally not what he meant and has nothing to do with him?
The Xianbei people want to go home.
But the problem is that he can't go back and is blocked by Gongsun Du.
Therefore, the Xianbei people proposed to let Zhang He pave a way for them. If Zhang He is willing to stay in the desert, these Xianbei people will treat Zhang He as the most distinguished guest. If they are unwilling to stay and leave, the Xianbei people will agree and will give him
Some war horse leather robes and so on...
The Xianbei leader even cut his face to swear an oath. He used a knife to make a cut on his face to show that the oath was irrevocable. After all, even if the wound healed, there would still be a scar.
So Zhang He and the Xianbei people arrived here, but the problem was that the number of Zhang He and the Xianbei people was not enough to confront Gongsun Du head-on, so they could only look for opportunities to break through when he was unprepared. To achieve such a combat goal,
They must remain hidden, so they must pursue and kill these Gongsun scouts without leaving any one behind. This is what Zhang He and the Xianbei people want to achieve now.
Zhang He caught up with the Gongsun scouts, knocked one of them over with one shot, and then shot another one across the board. He knocked down the bow and arrow that the other scout had raised in a hurry, and cut a bloody gash in his thigh...
It didn't take long for these Gongsun scouts to be caught up one after another, and then hacked to death by the Huayan Lake.
Zhang He slowly stopped, and the war horse puffed out white smoke from its muzzle.
The Xianbei leader followed and reined in his horse. "General Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang He shook off the blood on the spear, then raised his chin and gestured, "Looking at the weather... are you sure you want to go back?"
The Xianbei leader was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Shouldn't this be the time to go back? The people at home are still waiting..."
Zhang He sighed, nodded, and said: "If you kill these scouts, you won't be able to hide them for long. If you want to go back, you have to do it as soon as possible!"
"So what does General Zhang mean..." asked the Xianbei leader.
Zhang He looked at the sky and said after a while: "It looks like it's going to snow again..."
Zhang He was not the only one who looked at the sky and talked about the snow problem.
"What the hell is the weather! Why is it snowing again?"
Gongsun Du raised his head and looked at the sky.
After Gongsun Du defeated Liu He and other Wuhuan people, he chased him for a while, but his military skills were so poor that Kou Mo chased him. He was also afraid that he would fall into a trap if he chased him, so he gradually stopped. Then God unexpectedly
It's snowing... Such a sudden change in weather almost made Gongsundu feel like he was out of time. Is it March now? Isn't it? Are you sure?
Of course, Liaodong is not a very warm place, but it rarely snows in March...
Such a situation naturally caused everyone from Gongsun Du to ordinary soldiers to become frightened and stop moving forward.
"Lord, next..." Liu Yi also looked up at the sky, hesitantly.
If according to the original plan, Gongsun Du was going to take advantage of the chaos to capture Yuyang, it would be best to attack in one fell swoop when both the Hussars and the Cao family were hurt. But now, both Gongsun Du and Liu Yi are somewhat hesitant.
.
This kind of weather is not suitable for marching and fighting. If it snowed by chance before, it would be fine, but now it is the second time, which makes Gongsundu less lucky.
"Here's the order, let's set up camp for now..." Gongsun Du sighed and said, "We'll make plans after the snow stops..." If God doesn't give you face, how can you fight?
But that night, Gongsun Du was attacked by the Xianbei people led by Zhang He.
Most of Gongsun's army thought that the battle was over, and many of them were preoccupied with preparing to go home. They did not expect that someone would take advantage of the snowy night to sneak attack, and the camp was suddenly destroyed. All kinds of materials bundled and packed just became
They found the best place to light the fire, and the blazing fire lit up half of the sky. Gongsun's soldiers, who had lost their minds, were running around, unable to organize themselves. Naturally, it was difficult to resist the fierce assault led by Zhang He.
By daybreak, Zhang He and others who had made the surprise attack had already fled north. The embarrassed Gongsun Du jumped to his feet angrily and cursed, but there was nothing he could do. On the one hand, pursuing northward went against the original plan, and on the other hand, the weather was also a big problem.
, instead of pursuing pursuit, I don’t know if I will fall into a dilemma of being attacked from two sides after going south. In the end, I had to gather the remaining defeated troops, and I had no will to fight to the last soldier, so I had to retreat in frustration...
Gongsun Du attacked this time and won some small victories, but was suddenly attacked by Zhang He, but also suffered heavy losses. It is not an exaggeration to say that he won a small victory but was defeated...
……_(:з ∠)_……
Zhuge Liang likes to play chess. Pang Tong does not say whether he likes it or not, but the way they play chess is completely different.
When Zhuge Liang was playing chess, he was calm and calm, but Pang Tong was fine at other times, but when he was playing chess, he was not like Zhuge Liang. Winning or losing was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and victory or defeat was like a passing cloud.
Pang Tong couldn't even speak of the word "calm". He had just taken a small advantage in the corner, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms to pour water from the pot.
The arrogance and aloofness of being superior to others is exactly what Wen Ping's national players look like, but once the situation falls into a passive position, in the blink of an eye, he will have a frowning and sad face, or he will be gnashing his teeth as he plans a countermeasure, or his face will be tense and he is thinking hard about the solution.
, if the situation were even worse, he would lean over the table with his hands on the table and his head hunched over, wishing he could condense his eyes into sharp swords and sharp axes, and chop those damn chess pieces into pieces.
The breeze drifts away...
Therefore, Pang Tong is generally unwilling to play chess with others to avoid exposing his own shortcomings. Of course, this is also in front of Zhuge Liang. At other times, Pang Tong will cover it up to some extent.
"Ha...you lost..." Zhuge Liang picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard.
Pang Tong stared at the chess piece, as if he had a deep hatred. For a long time, he just raised his head and heard Zhuge Liang say: "As promised, you can't regret the chess piece..."
There is a saying that a true gentleman is not qualified to watch chess, and a fake celebrity is not allowed to regret his chess. If someone does not make others regret his chess, then he is not worthy of being a celebrity, and of course he is not worthy of being a gentleman. If he is not worthy of being a gentleman, naturally he is not worthy of being a country prince.
A county prince is not worthy of being a general, and he is not worthy of the world's reputation.
If you can make people regret playing chess, then it's easy to talk about anything, and you have the opportunity to become a good gentleman, a good marquis, a good general, etc., with a strong courage, a broad mind, a dignified appearance, and talents...
But Zhuge Liang didn't accept this trick.
Pang Tong kept mumbling for a long time, and finally pushed the chessboard, "It's boring. No more games!"
Zhuge Liang served as Wuguan Cheng and needed to allocate some supplies, so he returned to Chang'an. Pang Tong originally thought that Zhuge Liang would be more restrained now that he was under his control. Well, he would be more capable in terms of chess skills, but he did not expect that Zhuge Liang would still be incompetent at all.
He showed no mercy and killed Pang Tong until he lost his armor.
"But are you worried about the changes in the weather?" Zhuge Liang was not annoyed by Pang Tong's behavior.
When Zhuge Liang was halfway through the game, he discovered that Pang Tong was actually a little absent-minded. Although there were a few white stones on the chessboard that seemed to have an advantage, there were actually faint signs of being trapped in a tight siege, and Pang Tong didn't notice it.
So Zhuge Liang easily broke off Pang Tong's big dragon with one attack, and Pang Tong was naturally defeated. In the Han Dynasty, the emphasis was still on this big dragon model, like those in later generations who took over the land, most of them were Confucian people.
Teaching by words and deeds.
Pang Tong nodded and started talking without hiding anything. Pang Tong was not like Zhuge. As he stood taller, naturally there were more things and various relationships became more complicated. Although he had already talked with Zhuge a few days ago,
The Cavalry General determined the general direction, but there are still some people who don't think there is any problem at the moment, and even think that this is an occasional weather abnormality, and it will not be long before it returns to its original state.
Wasn’t this the case a few years ago?
It’s not like I’ve never encountered a cold spring before. Is there any need to be so nervous?
Who knows if Cavalry General Fei Qian and his gang are taking advantage of the weather to do something else?
The military garrison land that only belongs to Fei Qian is good, but it is private. These noble families who have suffered losses before are all as slow as sloths. It is not that they are not moving, nor are they disobeying orders.
Compliance is just one word, "slow"!
The key point is that Pang Tong can't say anything about the "Great Cold Period", and if he does, it may not be useful, and it may even be counterproductive.
On the whole, Fei Qian's rule was quite good. Since the Shanxi nobles were not very strong to begin with, and the biggest leader was kicked to Luoyang by Fei Qian, the Shanxi nobles were leaderless as a whole.
It's not like racing or competing with Fei Qian, but it's just because of this that these Shanxi nobles are cautious, fearing that they will be the next to fall into the trap.
Because it is March now, and March has always been the busiest month. Farming is naturally the highlight, but there are also many other matters. Take a simple ordinary noble family as an example. Isn’t it enough to just have food? There is also clothing.
, things for use, things to play with, things to drink, etc., and if you buy all these things, the price will go up, and if your own internal craftsmen and slaves make them, it will naturally be cheaper, and the excess can be sold...
…
Therefore, how could these nobles immediately put aside all other things at hand and concentrate on farming to fight the disaster?
Zhuge Liang listened for a moment, smiled slightly, and said: "Shi Yuan is wrong..."
Pang Tong frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If the way is unclear, the benefits are also unclear..."
Pang Tong suddenly looked sideways, and was about to say something when he suddenly seemed to think of something else. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head, frowned and touched his chin, "Well, that's right...
』
Pang Tong is not a god, so naturally he sometimes falls into misunderstandings in his thinking, otherwise there would be no such thing as Luofengpo in history. When Zhuge Liang said "Tao and profit", Pang Tong wanted to understand what the reason was.
Already.
The industries under the Hussar, whether it is farmland or workshops, are personal assets of the Hussar. He will naturally follow the orders of the Hussar general, just like those in the planned economic system of later generations.
Do those who hold positions in it care whether their business is profitable or not, and whether what they produce will make a loss or not? Shouldn’t they just do whatever they are ordered to do from above?
The planned economy is not bad, nor should it be despised by nature. On the contrary, it is a very advanced model, so advanced that even ordinary people can play with it...
From a certain perspective, in fact, in the feudal dynasty, those industries directly under the royal family were basically planned economies, responsible for meeting all the needs of the royal family. These industries often brought together the top craftsmen and handicraftsmen in the country.
It is also the largest and best creative base, but most of the time these industries are losing money and cannot gain profits. The reason is very simple: the "plan" is not done well.
There are more means of production here, and less there. In order to pursue the best products, you may produce a piece of jade, but behind it are hundreds of pieces of waste. Those in charge consider position, not profit. In the long run,
How can it not be a loss?
Nowadays, it seems that Fei Qian's industries are easy and profitable, but not everyone can know what these workshops need to research, develop, and produce like Fei Qian. Without Fei Qian,
Isn’t it cost-effective to provide guidance and take detours?
Maybe a family can't afford even one detour!
Therefore, the difference emerged. These people under the Hussar, from Yinshan to Beidi, gave an order to put down their original affairs regardless of profit and move in unison. But what about the other noble surnames?
Some things are seasonal. If you miss it and don’t do it, will you have to wait another year? For example, if you don’t send people to collect the supplies and raw materials from various places, will they all rot on the ground?
Who will compensate for this loss? Even if it is compensated, how much? I will definitely not be willing to have more hussars, and they will not be willing to have less local nobles. Therefore, under such circumstances, how can a large noble family put down all other things, and then
Just take care of the crops?
Pang Tong originally thought that everyone knew that agriculture and mulberry trees were undoubtedly the foundation, so if everyone worked together to protect agriculture and mulberry trees, wouldn't everyone be able to benefit from it? So Pang Tong thought that since this matter would benefit everyone, he would naturally be willing to do it.
, and you must do it quickly. For a while, your thinking went into a misunderstanding.
Originally it was supposed to be that it was difficult for the big ship to turn around, but it was easier for the small boat to do things, but now it was the other way around. The big ship started to turn at the command, but the small boat was still hesitating, not knowing whether it should turn or not...
After Zhuge Liang did this, Pang Tong also figured it out, but the problem is that it is not easy to correct the wrong ideas of these noble surnames.
The simple criterion for judging whether something is right or wrong is to look at the results.
Now Fei Qian, Pang Tong and others believe that the Great Cold Period has arrived, and the snow is a sign. However, in order to avoid panic, they cannot say it, and no one may believe it if they say it. For these people, they think this is an accident.
, even if the seedlings sown before die, they can only be replanted at most, and the harvest will be smaller. However, if other matters are delayed, replanting may not be possible.
Pang Tong wants to prove it, how to prove it? Yes, there was some light snow before, but it melted soon. Although the sky has not cleared up, it has not continued to snow. Then this can prove that there will be heavy rains this summer and autumn.
Will there be drought, heavy snowfall in winter, and it will be even colder next year? There will be many problems in agricultural mulberry trees in the future, so we need to pay attention to them now?
If these noble nobles violated the law and resisted Fei Qian's orders, Pang Tong had a sense of discipline. Naturally, he would arrest and kill those who deserved to be arrested and punished as they should. But the problem is that it was not Fei Qian who was neglected by these noble nobles.
The property is not a public facility, and the civilians who should bear the burden have nothing to lose, but they are not that attentive to their own private fields, or it can be said that most of them do nothing. How should they be punished?
The Hussars General needs urgent repairs to the canals and needs supplies and manpower. I've got them.
The hussar general wants to build shacks for the farm and needs supplies and manpower. Please cooperate.
It's just that in my own field, the movement is a bit slower, and the reason for the slowness is also very simple. All the manpower and supplies have been allocated to the hussar general...
But if left alone, if these people are really hit by a disaster, it will not only affect them, but also the tax issue of the Cavalry General!
There is no reason for the punishment now. Just like in later generations, if you wander around naked in public areas, it must be a crime of decency, but if it is in your own home, even if the same gentleman is exposed and moans, it cannot be said.
It hinders the demeanor. After all, we can't ask to be neatly dressed at all times, including when taking a bath, right?
Pang Tong had a headache, but when he saw Zhuge Liang smiling but not smiling, his heart suddenly moved, "Does Kong Ming have a plan? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
"It's hard to see the whole picture when Shi Yuan is really in it..." Zhuge Liang laughed, "It's actually easy to get these nobles to take action, but... it still requires the consent of the hussar..."
