Chapter 2068 Knowledge accumulation, wisdom and enlightenment
Chang'an.
Hussar General's Mansion.
Fei Qian grasped the information delivered from the front line and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Pang Tong on the side saw Fei Qian's expression was a little strange, so he couldn't help asking. Fei Qian handed the information to Pang Tong.
"What?!" Pang Tong couldn't help being shocked when he saw it, "The two Zhuge and Liao clans led the partial army to build a military fortress?! This...Xu Gongming is..."
"Yuan Jian is nothing more than Yuan Jian. He has extraordinary martial arts skills. This Kong Ming..." Pang Tong frowned, "Kong Ming is good at throwing pots. Now he goes into battle to kill the enemy... How could Xu Gongming arrange it like this!"
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "Hey, this is what I told you...but I didn't expect Xu Gongming to simply..."
Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fei Qian, "Kong Ming...could he have done something wrong?" In Pang Tong's opinion, if Zhuge Kongming was allowed to visit the battle line in person, or even at a military fortress where he might face life and death, could it be Zhuge Liang?
Offended Fei Qian?
Fei Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Where did Shi Yuan go? I just thought that Kong Ming needed some military experience... Then I told Gong Ming a little bit, but I didn't expect this Xu Gongming..."
Knowledge and experience often cannot be equated.
Fei Qian felt that Zhuge Liang's current knowledge exceeded that of most teenagers in the Han Dynasty, but this did not mean that the knowledge Zhuge Liang had could be immediately transformed into practical experience in military and civil affairs, so he specifically explained it to Xu Huang.
When he had the opportunity, he let Zhuge Liang experience it. Unexpectedly, Xu Huang was really unambiguous. Without saying a word, he pushed Zhuge Liang to the front line...
Perhaps Xu Huang believes that only on the frontline of life and death can Zhuge Liang more quickly master and transform the knowledge that originally only existed in books, from pure knowledge to true wisdom.
"This..." Pang Tong also smiled bitterly, "What should we do?"
Pang Tong was still a little worried about his little friend.
Fei Qian was silent, he was also a little worried.
However, this is also a process, or an experience that Zhuge Liang must grow up, sooner or later. It can even be said that earlier is better than later.
To be honest, sometimes Fei Qian feels that although people in later generations have more knowledge, in terms of wisdom, they may not be much better than the ancients. Because information in later generations has become more developed and education has become more popular, some people think that they have changed.
Smarter.
Just like a patient who knows a little about medicines, he will instruct the doctor to prescribe medicines during the consultation, "Doctor, I feel that I have no strength to walk recently, please prescribe me some calcium supplements, and give me some hanging bottles..."
…』
Parents who think they know education knowledge will blatantly criticize teachers, "You are still a teacher, do you understand what the Pygmalion effect is? Even if my child says that one plus one equals three, that is innovative thinking, and you should do the same."
Praise him for being smart! Appreciate education, do you understand?』
When network information becomes fragmented, and when these sporadic knowledge points can be obtained in a convenient way without paying any price, it often causes some people to have the illusion that they who possess certain knowledge are a certain aspect.
Experts. In fact, knowledge itself is not equal to wisdom, and knowing a part of knowledge is not equal to being an expert. Knowing a certain knowledge point is important, but what is more important is the research method and way of thinking behind the knowledge, but it is convenient and can
The Internet, which can be consulted at any time, has given these people blind confidence.
In fact, whether it is the Internet or books, they should originally be a tool for understanding the world, and should not become a conclusion of the world, let alone a fixed conclusion.
Just like Fei Qian told Xu Huang that he wanted Xu Huang to train Zhuge Liang more, and then Zhuge Liang was stabbed to the front line. If it really becomes a prequel to Ma Su, then whose fault is it?
Zhuge Liang has knowledge beyond his peers. But Fei Qian is worried that Zhuge Liang will fall into Ma Di's trap. After all, Zhuge Liang once admired Ma Di very much in history and thought Ma Di could succeed him. Ma Di was known as a knowledgeable and powerful man before Jieting's failure.
Remember, no one can argue with him, and he is invincible in Sichuan and Shu.
Naturally, Zhuge Liang's words at the moment were quite ecstatic, leaving Zheng Xuan, old and young, speechless...
There is nothing wrong with having knowledge, but if people just absorb knowledge blindly, people will gradually lose their ability to think and can only accept and process some extreme or specific opinions like conditioned reflexes. That kind of Zhuge Liang is not Fei Qianxiang.
need.
Learn and apply, so Zhuge Liang can only get through this level by himself...
Fei Potential can help Zhuge for a while, but it cannot help him forever. It is much better to let Zhuge Liang know the cruelty of war as soon as possible than to wait until one day when Zhuge will actually be in charge of the army.
Everyone has their own problems, and everyone has to solve their own problems. This is the case for Zhuge Liang, and the same is true for Cao Hong.
Now Cao Hong felt that his heart was filled with panic, and he even had the urge to cry.
That damn guy Liao Hua actually hid a group of crossbowmen. If it weren't for Cao Hong's guards fighting to protect him, Cao Hong would have been shot into a sieve on the spot! Even so, Cao Hong was still hit by an arrow in the thigh. Fortunately, it only missed the side.
The middle part was injured, otherwise Cao Hong would feel that life would be worse than death.
Cao Hongtao's guards were shocked and quickly escorted Cao Hong to retreat to Fancheng. Naturally, Cao Hong ignored the attack on the military fortress.
The man shed tears without hesitation, but he was not sad yet. After all, being defeated by an unknown young general, no matter how you put it, may not be an honorable thing.
Cao Hong knew that the main goal of Fei Qian's attack this time was not to really seize Jingxiang. Of course, if he could really capture Jingxiang in one go, Fei Qian would not be polite...
The main purpose of General Fei Qian was to weaken Cao Cao, to interrupt Cao Cao's economic recovery process, and to exploit the profits made by Cao Cao's army in Jingzhou!
Because now is the autumn harvest, taxes from various counties and places have not yet been collected. If Fei Qian comes earlier, people in many places may break their jars. Anyway, Zhuang He has just grown, so even if it is burned down, it is not a big deal.
But it's different now. After all, it has been growing for so long, and so much energy and sweat has been invested. When you see that you are about to reap the harvest, you naturally don't want to be ruined, so under such circumstances, it will definitely be fine.
They talked a lot, and even took the initiative to discuss with the hussars, whether it was bribery or friendship, in any case, this could avoid military disaster.
These days, "bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates", it is really not a lie. Although the reputation of General Hussar is pretty good, who can guarantee that this reputation is not created by promoting the navy... Nonsense
Randomly created, well, that's what it means anyway, especially in some relatively remote areas with limited information and inconvenient transportation. How do you know the difference between Fei Qian and Cao Cao, and what are the differences among the armies?
And once the local tycoons really do this, even if Cao Hong and Cao Cao can understand the reason and know that there are these reasons, who can be sure that there is no one among these people who takes the initiative to seek refuge? It's like Hongxing came out.
Wall, so even if Fei Qian failed to capture Jingzhou and finally retreated, could Cao Cao continue to trust these Jingzhou natives? If he didn't believe it, what could he do? Is this kind of person still trustworthy?
At the same time, if we look at the Jingzhou natives' standpoint, Cao Cao could not protect the countryside when he came, so they had to plan their own plans to protect themselves. Then Cao Cao asked for this and that, and even blamed us for collaborating with the enemy...
The reason why people have various conflicts is because everyone's position is different.
The reason why Cao Hong moved around, advanced forward and backward, but ended up wounded in the end was not because Cao Hong was born stupid, but because Cao Hong truly considered and considered problems from Cao Cao's perspective and wanted to solve Cao Cao's problems. Of course, there was also a part in this.
Cao Hong's personal emotions are inevitable. After all, no one is a saint and it is impossible to be completely calm.
Unless it’s within the sage’s time…
When Fancheng was captured by Xiahoudun before, Liu Pan was basically suppressed by Xiahoudun and was unable to fight back. Moreover, because the comparison of soldiers between the two sides was too great, when Fancheng was finally captured, not much defense was lost.
Therefore, although Cao Hong failed to attack the military fortress, he finally felt that he could return to Fancheng and defend it. However, when Cao Hong actually arrived at Fancheng, he found that the gates of Fancheng were closed, and he could only hear some noise in the city, but he was supposed to be standing there
The soldiers on duty above the city disappeared.
Cao Hong's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously stopped, not approaching the city immediately.
Several Cao Jun soldiers came forward and called the door, but no one responded.
After a while, Liu Xiong showed his head from the wall of Fancheng, laughed loudly and threw a Cao army flag straight down the city, "Cao Zilian! You have fallen into the trap! Why don't you get off your horse and be bound!"
Liu Xiong is naturally not the Liu Xiong from Zhongshan King Jing's line, but a Guanzhong native. His original name is Liu Xiongming. He originally participated in the Yellow Turban Thief for a period of time. Later, when he saw that the situation was not good, he changed his name to one character.
, changed his name to Liu Xiong, and later defected to Fei Qian. He was one of the earlier small groups of bandits in Guanzhong to abandon secret service and defect to Fei Qian. They have always been under Xu Huang's orders.
Xu Huang ostensibly left a flag in Wancheng, but in fact he secretly led his men and horses to Zhuyang. As soon as he met Huang Zhong and discovered that Cao Hong had turned around to attack the military base, he immediately ordered Liu Xiong to pretend to be Xiahou Dun's
Reinforcements launched a sneak attack on Fancheng...
Cao Hong was immediately furious, but the injury on his leg made his anger dissipate in an instant, and he immediately ordered a retreat.
After walking for a while, Cao Hong suddenly reined in his horse and couldn't help but cursed loudly, saying, "What are you raising as a maid, what are you standing upright, what are you not doing as a servant," and he roared wildly.
"General, general..." The guards around Cao Hong looked worried.
Cao Hong took a few deep breaths, then calmed down. He looked at the men following him to the left and right, and he couldn't help but look a little panicked. After pondering for a moment, he greeted and said: "I didn't think well and got hit by the enemy."
The army’s treacherous plan! It’s not your fault that you were angry just now. The blame lies with someone! I will definitely explain it to the lord one by one at that time, so that I don’t incriminate you all!”
Before everyone could fully react, Cao Hong said again: "When we arrived at Fan City, the enemy forces in the city must not have been defeated yet! If we didn't check for a while, we were deceived by them! It's really abominable!"
Cao Hong just suddenly thought that if the Hussars had already gained absolute control, there would be no noise in the city, and they would pretend that nothing happened, and then try their best to deceive Cao Hong into entering the city.
, and then set up an ambush to attack, why would they close the city gate tightly and then deliberately drop the flag of Cao's army?
Therefore, Cao Hong concluded that the Hussars might have just arrived in Fancheng not long ago, and they may not all control Fancheng. If he had sent an army to attack at that time, the Hussars might not have been able to divide their forces to resist! Maybe he would still have a chance to capture Fancheng again.
!
Of course, it is also possible that he did the opposite and deliberately angered Cao Hong, but this possibility is relatively small. Therefore, Cao Hong just lost his temper and cursed, partly to scold his subordinates for being cunning, and partly to scold himself for not being able to think straight at the time.
Bend around...
Seeing that Cao Hong had regained his senses and made it clear that he was willing to take responsibility and would not pass the blame to his subordinates, the remaining soldiers under Cao Hong naturally felt relieved and asked: "General, where should we go now?"
Where?”
Cao Hong thought for a moment and said, "I have my own arrangements..."
As night fell, at the military base, Zhuge and Liao Hua were busy cleaning the battlefield and picking up the debris. Suddenly, a scout came hurriedly, with a somewhat frightened look on his face. "Report! Found Cao Jun camped fifteen miles north of the mountain, with about five bonfires."
More than a hundred!』
When you set up camp at night, you will naturally light a bonfire. Normally, a bonfire is worth ten thousand people. So adding a simple calculation, it is equivalent to Cao Cao's army of five thousand people.
Logically speaking, the scouts sent by Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang should get closer to check the truth. However, after the battle just now, there is only one road going south and north. Of course, these Cao troops cannot be out for an outing.
At the same time, Liao Hua and Zhuge's scouts were not the top experts under the direct control of the Hussar. Naturally, they were a little panicked when they saw so many bonfires all over the Han River.
Although Liao Hua and Zhuge defeated Cao Hong before, it does not mean that the soldiers led by Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang were not harmed at all, or that they were full of health in the blink of an eye, so when they heard the scouts say that 5,000 Cao's troops were in front of them,
When that happened, both Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang felt their hearts skip a beat.
If Cao Hong becomes angry out of shame, regardless of whether he leaves the city, or if Cao Hong receives new reinforcements from the new wilderness, both of these situations are likely to happen...
After Liao Hua ordered his scouts to closely monitor the movements of Cao's army, he stood silently on a high hill and looked into the distance, as if he could see the dark shadows behind the bonfire in the distance through the dark night.
If Cao Hong storms out, there is still hope of a chance to fight, and if reinforcements from Cao's army come from Xinye, then together with Cao Hong's soldiers...
Also, when will Xu Huang arrive, and will he be able to make it in time?
What would happen if Xu Huang happened to be delayed by something and came a day or two late?
The wind howled in the surrounding fields, and the water flowed under the hills.
"Kong Ming," Liao Hua asked, "What do you think? Should you keep it, or..."
Zhuge Liang sat on the stone. He changed into a light robe and looked somewhat elegant at this moment. After being silent for a long time, he said, "These new troops... may not be reinforcements from the new field..."
Although Zhuge Liang said so, he was not very sure and his tone was not very firm because Zhuge Liang had no conclusive evidence to prove this.
Cao Cao's large army went south, and it was true that only Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were in charge of Jingzhou. At the same time, General Hussar also sent Tai Shici and Zhu Ling to contain the troops in Xu County. Normally, Cao Cao's troops in Xu County were unlikely to have any troops.
Action. But this is just normal. What if it is abnormal?
Either Taishi Ci was deceived, or some other incident occurred, allowing Cao Jun to transfer some of his troops from Xu County to the south...
At this moment, Zhuge Liang deeply felt that what he learned in the book was not completely consistent with the problems he encountered in practice. At least, the Six Taoists talked about how to set up camp and how to form defenses, but that was not the case.
It has not been said, and it is impossible to say, what exactly is going on in this situation.
"Before leaving Chang'an, the Cavalry General had a conversation with a certain person..." Zhuge Liang suddenly said a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation, ""What you read in the book will eventually make you feel shallow"..."
Liao Hua tilted his head, murmured and repeated it twice, nodded, "It seems there is still some unfinished meaning."
Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "The meaning of Hussar is that when I return to Chang'an, I can complete the second half of the sentence by myself..."
Liao Hua asked: "Then... have you completed it now?"
Zhuge Liang nodded, then shook his head, "I only thought of one thing... Now, we need to sort out the current situation again..."
Zhuge Liang's eyes were shining under the starlight, "What is the original intention of the two Xiahou and Cao clans to occupy Fancheng and Xiangyang? They are trying to act as each other's horns, seize the Han River, block us, and Cao's army can conquer the entire Jingzhou..."
Liao Hua nodded.
"Secondly, General Taishi left Heluo in the east and approached Xu County, but did not attack or attack. Even if there were talented and learned people in Xu County who could see through this strategy, the emperor would definitely need to defend Xu County and would not dare to do so.
Relax..."
Liao Hua thought for a moment and said, "That's right."
Zhuge Liang's eyes became brighter and brighter, "So, this time the soldiers and horses... if it is really Cao Jun's new field reinforcements, rushing to attack, but not fighting when they come, will there be any trace of atrocities?"
Liao Hua was stunned for a moment, then slapped his palm fiercely, "Yes! That's exactly the truth!"
Thinking about it from another angle, if Cao Jun really arrived with reinforcements, would he choose to take advantage of Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack overnight to have a greater chance of winning, or would he have to camp and repair in front of Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang and organize an open and honest attack the next day?
Is it in line with the Han dynasty’s benevolence, filial piety and morality?
After all, Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang fought fiercely with Cao Hong for nearly a whole day, and the sound was shocking everywhere. If Cao Jun really wanted to send reinforcements, it was impossible for Cao Hong to be completely unaware of it, and it was impossible for Cao Hong to not receive the order. Therefore, the previous retreat and the current
The two actions of making a comeback and setting up camp are contradictory to each other...
"Come here!" Liao Hua called the scouts and ordered, "Get closer to investigate! These bonfires may just be suspicious soldiers..."
The scouts followed the order and left. Obviously, after hearing Liao Hua say that these Cao Jun campfires were suspicious soldiers, although they could not be sure immediately, the mood in the army immediately relaxed a lot.
People are afraid of the unknown.
Once it becomes known, it is easy to turn from fear to arrogance...
Not long after, the scout came back, his excitement was palpable, "False! It's fake! There is no one at the campfire! I went to three campfires, and there was no one!"
Liao Hua exhaled, then raised his eyebrows, but when he saw Zhuge Liang shaking his head slightly, his eyebrows suddenly dropped again. He pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, there is no need to worry! Give the order, everyone is on guard, don't relax."
!』
After the soldiers were sent down, Liao Hua turned around and said, "Since it's a fake camp, why not..."
"Although it is a fake camp, it may not be without an ambush..." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Since we are in an invincible position, why take risks and gain credit?"
Liao Hua pondered for a moment, then bowed his hand to Zhuge Liang and said, "I have learned from you."
Slowly, the sky gradually became brighter. When the first ray of light from the sky tilted down and caressed Zhuge Liang's head and body, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. There was no sleepiness or fatigue on his face. Instead, he looked more energetic and welcoming.
Standing proudly in the morning wind, after a while, he whispered softly: "Now, I can probably understand the second half of what the hussar said that day..."
