Chapter 2239 Humanity and bestiality, intelligence and stupidity
When the wind of the times stirs up, whether it is resistance or embrace, for most ordinary people, nothing can be changed and they can only passively accept it.
Ding Lingtou stood on the hill, looking at the stretching desert below him, with a solemn and quiet expression. The night had not yet completely fallen, and sparse lights spread across the wilderness in the distance.
This Ding Ling man who was born and raised in the desert, ever since the Xianbei people began to show signs of decline, he ruthlessly and quickly began to occupy the pastures that originally belonged to Xianbei.
In the desert, livestock is equivalent to crops, and pasture is equivalent to acres.
Having more pasture means having more people and livestock, more people, more wealth, and more authority...
But the thin political structure of the Ding Ling people is like the clothes in the club. It seems to be there, but a piece is missing from the top and bottom, which is really a bit awkward. The Ding Ling people still control themselves to some extent and don't let their egos expand too fast, but
Those leaders who were originally small tribes began to undergo some not-so-good changes after their sudden and rapid expansion.
To put it simply, it means being arrogant and thinking that you can do it.
In the past few days, Ding Lingtou frequently issued various instructions, and tried his best to let some tribal leaders calm down and stabilize themselves, and even deliberately gave up some grassland areas that were relatively fiercely contested.
, to form a buffer zone, but the effect is not ideal.
The shortcomings of the Hu people's tribal system are fully exposed.
From a certain perspective, the tribal system of the Hu people is more like the feudal system of Western Europe. No matter how large the commander-in-chief is, he can only directly govern his own tribe, and other tribal leaders may submit to
The big leader, but the orders in his tribe are still issued by other tribal leaders. Once the orders of the leaders of other tribes violate the big leader...
In the past few days, every day at dusk, Ding Lingtou would stand on this hill and look out. No one knew what he was thinking about. Even the closest attendants and guards around him could only see Ding Lingtou's face.
From his back, he couldn't see what was hidden in Ding Lingtou's eyes.
The sunset is on the horizon.
Like a rolling wave of blood.
Although the war is only in the Youzhou area, and although the Ding Lingtou people try their best to restrain the tribe, there are always some people who think that they are very smart and can reap benefits and avoid dangers.
But if you want to eat cattle and sheep, how can your knife not be stained with blood?
This time...
I'm afraid that even if I want to hide, I can't.
Looking at the peaceful darkness under the night, he only felt a slight tremor in his heart.
……(〒︿〒)……
Youzhou.
Northern Territory.
Gongsun Du's first offensive out of Liaodong encountered a tough enemy.
The fierce fighting has lasted for five hours.
The killing continued from daytime until dusk.
It was getting dark, but the flames were still burning.
And the blood spreads along with the flames...
The entire Yuyang City has been dyed crimson red. Arrows with flames in the sky keep streaking across the sky. In the dimming of light and darkness, you can see the fallen corpses stretching out, some of which are injured but not dead.
The soldiers, holding their swords staggeringly, stood up again from the pool of blood. Up and down the city, countless canines were fighting each other. Some firelight illuminated the blood, and also illuminated the ferocious faces of the two sides fighting...
…
Not many people expected that Cao's army, which numbered only more than 2,000, could sustain the offensive of Gongsun's army for such a long time!
Noisy sounds surrounded the surroundings. On the high platform in the army, Gongsun Du was wearing a large cloak and standing under the general's flag. His eyes were fixed on the situation on the entire battlefield. He occasionally issued an order to send out reserve troops or to
Make adjustments to military formations to respond to changes on the battlefield.
It is not that Gongsun's army had no experience in attacking cities in Liaodong, but when dealing with Goguryeo, Fuyu, etc., which were all predecessors of Bangzi, the cities were small and weak. In many cases, the Bangzi in the city surrendered without even fighting.
So this is indeed the first time I have encountered such a difficult nut as Yuyang.
Naturally, Gongsun Du didn't know that Cao Jun's original defense system was to deal with Fei Qian. He even knew that Fei Qian had a "spell" that could directly break through doors, so he specially strengthened the city gate's defense structure, which happened to be blocked by Gongsun Du.
Got it.
Normally, a playground can accommodate about two to three thousand people, but this time the number of people fighting in Yuyang was close to 20,000...
There were only two thousand Cao Jun defenders in the city, but there were still residents in the city. It was precisely because of the help of these people that Yuyang was able to hold on for such a long time.
"Damn it!" Gongsun Du gritted his teeth.
Wasn't Gongsun Zan once the monarch of Yuyang? Didn't he control Youbei? Why is it that now that Gongsun Zan is flying under the city, the people of Yuyang just turn a blind eye and actually help the Cao thieves to defend the city?!
What do these damn stupid people think? Are their heads broken? Shouldn't it be that as soon as Gongsun Daqi arrived at the city, the people in the city cheered and then abandoned the secret and cooperated with the outside world?
At the beginning, Gongsun Du thought that the people in the city just didn't know they were coming, so they didn't take any action. After Gongsun Du sent people to send letters to the city to no avail, and saw the people in the city helping Cao Jun to defend the city, he finally made a complete decision.
I couldn't stand the thought of waiting for the response, but because of this I particularly hated the people of Yuyang.
After finally defeating Cao Chun, Yuyang was still unable to be conquered. Even if there were ships that could carry more supplies than land transshipment, there was no limit...
Today, we must capture Yuyang!
From the day the battle started, Gongsun Du had already mobilized all his soldiers and launched them on the Yuyang front. They continued to fight. In the battle that lasted for nearly five hours, he continued to consume the last remaining people in Yuyang City.
The resistance force, by this time, the fierce battle between the two sides had smeared the blood and lives of two to three thousand people on the city wall. If you have no feeling about this number, then you can imagine that the entire playground is full of corpses, and all the runways and sand
The pits are soaked with blood...
When Gongsun Du sent out troops, he had expected the difficulty of this battle, but what they didn't expect was that it would be so difficult from the beginning.
As the leader of a warlord who rose from a lowly position, Gongsun Du has groveled and licked his back yard along the way. He has tasted everything. Until now he has become the governor of Liaodong and a prince in the region. He wants to make great contributions.
I want to stand at the top of this world and compete with the heroes in the world.
The son of a fugitive has now become a master. Everyone saw Gongsun Du's brilliance, but who saw the dirt and scars under Gongsun Du's brocade robe?
Isn’t the endurance of humiliation in the past just for the sake of raising eyebrows today?
Gongsun Du attacked the city, and Cao Jun defended the city. As both sides of the battle, Gongsun Du didn't have much resentment towards Cao Jun, but these people in Yuyang didn't know what to do!
"..." Gongsun Du stared at the blood-like sunset on the horizon, then turned to look at Yuyang City, then looked at his own soldiers who had been fighting hard for a day, and finally issued an order, "Come here... pass the order! If the city is destroyed today,
, then you can’t help it for three days! Whatever you get, you can take it by yourself!"
The order was passed on...
Waves of howling sounds could be heard.
Like a wild beast.
The flag of Cao Jun on the head of Yuyang City finally fell down under the impact of wave after wave...
Things in Hedong are not complicated in the first place.
"Father..." Fei Zhen said with some confusion, "Why do these people... do such stupid things?"
"Is it stupid?" Fei Qian asked.
Feizhen nodded seriously.
"But in their feelings, they don't feel that they are stupid..." Fei Qian said, "They even think that we are stupid at the beginning... Afterwards, if you deduce the process based on the results, you will find a lot of
Fools, but only those who can avoid them beforehand can be considered truly wise..."
"So... is Pei Juguang a wise man?" Feizhen asked.
Fei Qian said: "What do you think?"
"I don't think he counts... well, at least half of it..." Fei Zhen thought for a while, "If he can do the right thing from the beginning... then he can almost be..."
Fei Qian nodded, "Doing the right thing? So there's nothing wrong with that. Then do you know why he didn't do the right thing from the beginning?"
Feizhen thought for a moment, "He didn't expect that?"
"Maybe, but I think it was because his wisdom at that time was eaten by his own arrogance..." Fei Qian said slowly, "But luckily he was only eaten half... so
...That's it..."
"What about us? Father, are you a wise man?" Feizhen asked, raising her head again.
Fei Qian laughed, "What do you think?"
"It must be a wise man!" Fei Zhen shouted, waving her fist.
Fei Qian shook his head, "When you have this idea, arrogance comes... So I would rather think that I am a fool, and I will be deceived anytime and anywhere... Be careful and ask more questions... I would rather be slow in advance."
It's better to have some than to regret later..."
Hindsight, I had known it earlier, I had known it earlier, I should have done it in the first place.
Is it really impossible to see it, really unexpected?
This is not necessarily the case...
Chinese people are very smart, but most smart people like to encourage fools to rush forward and then hide behind to watch. Therefore, once the "smart people" behind the scenes are found, it is actually not easy to deal with the entire Hedong incident.
It's not that difficult.
Of course, this is only a preliminary solution, and if you want to solve it completely...
Even future generations would not be able to do it, let alone the current Han Dynasty.
This is politics.
It may seem like everyone is winning, but in fact no one is winning or losing.
To put it simply, it is a compromise.
What Huang Yueying wants to stop Professor Fei Qian from teaching Fei Zhen is that she doesn't want Fei Zhen to learn "compromise" so early, especially this kind of political compromise, which looks dirty and despicable.
So Huang Yueying was opposed to it at the beginning, and even felt worried about it.
It's just that Fei Qian believes that if Fei Zhen starts to take over part of Fei Qian's work, it will be impossible to completely avoid these problems. Instead of making things into a mess later, it is better to do it in the early stages.
Let Feizhen get some exposure to this aspect in advance.
The tricolor flags were flying high, the queues were neat, and the sound of horse hooves was heard.
After the specific processing method, the natural step is to follow the process.
So Fei Qian didn't want to waste time staying in Anyi, so he simply left for Pingyang.
Before Fei Zhen left Anyi, she hesitated for a while. She wanted to follow Huang Yueying's car, but she also felt that her father Fei Qian would be unhappy if she stayed in her mother's car...
At that moment, Fei Zhen was filled with worry, and it was really more taxing than when she was taking the Heng Bingjia case test in Anyi, Hedong.
Fei Qian smiled and said to Fei Zhen: "There is a section of road from Anyi to Pingyang, and there is also a section of road from Pingyang to Yinshan. Otherwise, you should stay with your mother's vehicle first and wait for her to arrive."
How about walking with me on this section of the road from Pingyang to Yinshan?"
Feizhen was excited, feeling that a big problem had been solved, but after he climbed into Huang Yueying's vehicle, he started chattering and was despised by Huang Yueying...
By the way, Huang Yueying also despised Fei Qian, "You said you even fooled children! Humph! Can this part of the road be the same as that part of the road?!"
Fei Qian laughed loudly, and then said to Fei Zhen: "This is another lesson! What did I just say? Did you remember it? Remember it, don't just see any benefit in front of you.
You should agree immediately...but you should think about it calmly, analyze and judge before you can draw a conclusion...this is..."
Feizhen held her head in her hands and said with a sad face: "Ming Beni! Oh!"
"So there is still a gap between knowing and doing it..." Fei Qian nodded, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you make a few mistakes, but you can't make mistakes all the time... Don't forget to read more books when you have time..."
"Take it with you!" Feizhen quickly took out the spring and autumn in her arms.
Fei Qian nodded, then gave Huang Yueying a slight signal, and then rode forward.
Fei Zhen sat in the vehicle, stretching her head to watch Fei Qian walk away, then turned around and tugged on Huang Yueying's sleeve, "Mother!"
Huang Yueying looked at Fei Qian's figure thoughtfully, so she didn't respond to Fei Zhen for a while.
Feizhen pulled again, and then shouted, "Mother!"
"Ah! You stupid kid!" Huang Yueying grabbed her sleeve and said, "Stop pulling it! It's just you and me. If you have anything to say, just say it. What's your name..."
Fei Zhen didn't take the term "hairy kid" seriously. When she was with Huang Yueying, Fei Zhen would obviously be more lively and naughty than when she was hiding with Fei. Fei Zhen came to Huang Yueying's side and said, "Mother, did you know each other back then?"
When Father was a child, Father was already like this... that and so on..."
"What do you want to say?" Huang Yueying glared at Feizhen.
Fei Zhen swallowed her saliva, then lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that Fei Qian in the distance might hear her, "It's just... it's just... I like to calculate... and that..."
"Cunning, risk-taking, and worldly sophistication?" Huang Yueying said.
"Ah! That's so right!" Feizhen clapped, "That's it!"
"Pa!" Huang Yueying patted Fei Zhen on the head gently, "What did you say?! That's your father! You stupid kid..."
Feizhen covered her head and whispered, "I didn't say anything..."
Of course, Huang Yueying ignored Fei Zhen's muttering, but fell into memories because of Fei Zhen's words, "Back then... your father actually... seemed quite honest and honest..."
"Huh?" Fei Zhen had disbelief written all over her face.
Huang Yueying glared over, "I mean! It looks like!"
"Oh..." Feizhen suddenly realized, "I understand... I understand..."
"What do you understand?" Huang Yueying was angry and funny, "Really..."
Feizhen came over and said, "Mom, just tell me, tell me..."
"Huh!" Huang Yueying didn't want to say it at first, but couldn't stand Fei Zhen's repeated requests, so she started chatting and started talking to Fei Zhen about the previous things...
In the vehicle, the mother and son got together, sometimes talking, sometimes laughing. If you didn't know the situation, you might think that there was something wrong with both of them at a glance...
The closer we get to the Yangtze River, the more Southern Huns we see.
In the past few years, the number of Southern Huns has probably exceeded 20,000. This number seems quite large when put together, but in fact, because it is located in the Yinshan Mountains, Shangjun has a vast area. After being dispersed, it is even larger than the initial number.
Sometimes I feel less, but only around Pingyang can I clearly feel the presence of the Southern Huns.
The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu fought wars for hundreds of years, but after putting down their swords and guns, they could still sit together, drink, chat and do business. This cannot but be said to be the inclusiveness of the Chinese nation.
In Pingyang North, because it was close to the Hu land in the early days, some people sometimes wore leather robes in their attire. However, if you want to tell who is a Han or a Southern Huns, it is very simple, except for the hair crown on the head.
Outside of the braid, even if you see it from a distance, you can still distinguish it clearly.
Because when the Han people saw the three-color flag, they would retreat to the side of the road and make way for the middle, while the Southern Huns would not only retreat to the side, but also kneel down...
Han people kneel to the sky and the ground to kneel to their parents, but others generally do not kneel.
And the Southern Huns...
"Mother..." Fei Zhen pointed to the Southern Huns kneeling on the side of the road and asked, "Why do these Southern Huns kneel down? Is it our request?"
Huang Yueying shook her head and said: "We have never asked them to do this... It's just that these people are used to kneeling and can't stand up..."
