Chapter 2786: The Qiang cooks talk about East and West around the stove, and the North-South strategy is in turmoil
There is no problem that a hot pot meal cannot solve.
The Han Dynasty's hot pot is Qiangzi.
Although there were no chili peppers in the Han Dynasty, there were still onions, ginger and garlic.
In the copper furnace, it was churning.
Sometimes when we eat hot pot, we just want to have an atmosphere. We eat and chat at the same time. The food will not be too cold because we chatted for too long, nor will there be any soup to warm our stomachs after telling some cold jokes.
drink.
"How long has the world been stable? Then people's hearts are restless again." Pang Tongyi put the pieces of meat into a small spoon and then dipped it into the boiling soup. "There are always some people who think that the power of the land and manpower are infinite."
Endless, inexhaustible..."
If a war enters the attrition stage, then there will basically be no winner, only whoever loses less will win.
Fei Qian smiled, "Eat the leaves first, then the stems, and then dig out the roots..."
What is this kind of thing that a big man is doing now?
The period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was the most terrifying. Cannibalism was even open, and you could choose any part you wanted.
As for the future generations, the methods may be more civilized, but there is no difference in essence. It is like the subprime mortgage crisis of capitalism. Isn’t it just cutting the leek tips, then cutting the leek leaves, paying a high down payment, and then lowering the down payment ratio?
Eat some with a low down payment, and finally end up with a zero down payment, and eventually uproot the leek root and swallow it...
Pang Tong laughed and said: "You have to kill the chicken to get the eggs! This is the case in Jiangdong. Then the Sun family...is in a hurry."
"Yes," Fei Qian nodded and put the colander in his hand into the soup to boil, "your meat is ready... Prime Minister Cao is also anxious."
It is not good to kill the goose to retrieve the eggs. Everyone knows this truth, but when it happens, not everyone may be able to bear it.
Pang Tong let out a laugh, then took out the colander, dipped in some small ingredients, blew a little, then put it into his mouth, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the richness of the oil bursting between his lips and teeth, and then waited until he swallowed it.
, then slowly said: "Eating meat requires heat... The Prime Minister is anxious, but what's the use of being anxious?"
During this period of time, things have entered a quiet period, or it can be called a bottleneck period.
"Prime Minister Cao, at first he thought we were just a plate of food. He was eager to eat the meat first..." Pang Tong said with a smile, pointing at the bean plate with his chopsticks, "but when he bit into the meat, he found that it was meat."
There are a lot of bones inside, and it won’t be able to be shaved cleanly for a while. If you don’t shave cleanly, you won’t be able to eat..."
Fei Qian laughed.
What Pang Tong said is indeed true.
In the early days of Cao Cao's history, maybe it was because Yuan Shao's grand strategy influenced him, or maybe it was the historical environment that forced him, so Cao Cao had to fight in the south and north of the Central Plains and finally gained a piece of territory, which can be seen in the Battle of Chibi.
A very obvious dividing line. Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was very high-spirited, but after the Battle of Chibi...
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's major battles were the battle to quell the rebellion in Xiliang, the Battle of Hanzhong, and then his last fight with Sun Quan, the Battle of Ruxukou.
During the Xiliang counterinsurgency battle, many contradictions in Shandong were actually exposed. At that time, Cao Cao was defeated and retreated to the north. On the one hand, he strengthened internal centralization and on the other hand, he strengthened local management. The battle of Xiliang
The reason was that Cao Cao sent Xia Houyuan to lead troops into Guanzhong, with the express intention of attacking Zhang Lu, but in fact he wanted to consolidate and regulate the major forces in Guanzhong. Ma Chao, Han Sui and others refused to submit, so they united with the rebellion to capture Chang'an and defended Tongguan.
All of this seemed to be what Cao Cao had expected. He led the main force to the expedition, and at the same time ordered Cao Ren on the southern front to go north to assist in the battle. The eastern front troops were stationed in Hefei to deal with the attack of Sun Quan's main force. This created a unique moment in history for Liu Bei.
This was a good strategic opportunity, so Liu was invited by Liu Zhang to lead troops into Shu. The dispute between him and Soochow over Jingzhou was temporarily shelved under pressure. But what Cao Cao did not expect in history was that the people in Shandong were not willing to fight at all.
Guanzhong!
Many people in Shandong said, "The troops in Guanxi are strong, and they are good at spearing. If they are not selected as vanguards, they cannot be used as forwards." However, Cao Cao said to the generals, "The battle belongs to me, not to the thieves. Even if the thieves are good at spearing, they will not be able to do it."
With stabbing, you all can only watch." Then, Cao Cao, who was still trying to maintain his aura, was beaten into a fool by Ma Chao's sudden attack. If Ma Chao hadn't recognized Cao Cao, I'm afraid the battle would have ended before the follow-up started.
.
Although in history, Cao Cao won the Battle of Xiliang in the end, it was not that Cao Cao won through a frontal battlefield, but that he used Jia Xu's alienation tactics...
This kind of "weakness" on the frontal battlefield, on the one hand, shows that Cao Cao's elites have been exhausted in continuous battles. On the other hand, it also proves that Cao Cao's internal control is constantly improving.
This was even more obvious in the subsequent Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Ruxukou. Even after a certain victory in Hanzhong and the confrontation with Liu Bei, Cao Cao persuaded Cao Cao to continue marching into Sichuan and Shu.
He hesitated, and finally retreated, not daring to enter Sichuan. He was afraid that if his head went in, his butt would be gone.
The same is true in Ruxukou. Although the plague was rampant, Cao Cao still could not make up his mind to sink the ship. After the stalemate, Sun Quan pretended to send a letter of surrender, expressing his willingness to surrender to the Han and serve the King of Wei. Cao Cao
He knew that every word of Sun Quan's letter asking for surrender was bullshit and lies, but in the end he still did not dare to make a ruthless decisive battle and ended it hastily. This also put an end to Cao Cao's magnificent military career.
It has quite an anticlimactic ending.
Combining all these historical situations with the current situation, it is not difficult to analyze Cao Cao's embarrassing situation today.
As Pang Tong said, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to Guanzhong at the beginning. He even thought that even if Fei Qian occupied the third assistant of Chang'an, what would happen? He could drag Fei Qian to death with just a few consumptions, but he
What he didn't expect was that Fei Qian had never thought about a long-term stalemate with Cao Cao and a war of attrition.
After Taishi Ci went out for the first time and attacked Yecheng with cavalry tactics, the subsequent combat mode in Guanzhong was basically determined. This rapid movement of cavalry pulled the local defense line, coupled with heavy gunpowder attacks to destroy the military walled city.
The overall tactical coordination of points, lines and planes was achieved, which was almost beyond the reach of an era. Cao Cao almost collapsed, and was even close to breaking the pot. Cao Cao mobilized all the forces he could mobilize at that time, preparing to attack Nanyang up and down.
Fighting with Feiqian in the Yingchuan area of the city!
If Fei Qian's hand was also a broken jar, then it wouldn't be a big deal if he fell down with Cao Cao, but that's not the problem.
Can the things Fei Qian hold have the same value as the things in the hands of the conservative people in Shandong? Under such circumstances, Fei Qian is still encouraged to go to the decisive battle with Cao Cao, or it is just to watch the fun and not feel too big a deal.
Soul, or a mindless and unhappy fool. It was this time that Fei Qian almost pushed Cao Cao to the brink of total collapse, forcing Cao Cao to start a forcible aggregation of Shandong.
Only when you fall do you know the pain. In history, Cao Cao fell so hard in the Battle of Chibi that he ate a mouthful of mud. But today's big man, Cao Cao, lost his tooth in the Battle of Jingzhou, so he is naturally worse than in history.
It is necessary to enter the stage of internal integration earlier to fight against powerful external enemies.
However, external enemies are often relatively clear, while most internal enemies are very hidden. Therefore, Cao Cao was forced to work with Fei Qian to integrate the internal speed. Whoever can integrate the internal first will be able to put the stick and soap first.
If you are ready, whoever can free your hand first can poke the other person's anus while the other person is turning around.
Fei Qian tapped the bean plate lightly with his chopsticks and said, "We ate the dish from Longxi, and the Prime Minister also ate Qingxu. We ate the dish from Sichuan safely, and the Prime Minister also digested it."
We have captured most of Jizhou, and we are raiding the back, and the Prime Minister is also cleaning up those who oppose him... This year, everyone is busy..."
What? Someone Sun? Just like Cao Cao said that Cao Liu is the only hero in the world, most people nowadays also think that the Minister of Dongxi is interesting, and Jiangdong is not worth seeing, and they don’t have much expectations for Jiangdong.
Pang Tong smiled and said, "But there are many people in the Prime Minister's place, and they are all big-bellied men. They are not full no matter how much they eat. These plates are not enough to share, and there is not enough meat and vegetables to eat..."
Fei Qian nodded slightly, his expression a little heavy, "This is what I am worried about. This is like the indoctrination of barbarians, it is difficult to change..."
Although the cultural literacy of people in Shandong is naturally higher than that of Hu people, for some people in Shandong, changing their thinking patterns may not be much easier than educating the Hu people. Far from it.
Well, you are still someone else's naughty child. If you get close, you will become the naughty child in your own family, and you will not have a little headache.
The key is that the Hu people now admire the Han people, and they are basically accepting of some affairs in Guanzhong, while the people of Shandong are born with a critical attitude, pointing out this and scoffing at that, without seeming to express anything.
Ridicule, or a few sneers, cannot show the elegant character, noble feelings, broad knowledge and profound understanding of Shandong people.
Even people in Shandong do know that some of their butts are unclean, and they also understand that those dried or diluted pieces of feces are still attached to their bodies, swaying and exuding the aura that no one should approach, but as long as they are still
Being able to spray and wearing a decent robe, it seems that I can ignore all these smells and still calmly point out the situation, pretending that the smell is coming from others.
Fei Qian used his chopsticks to make a sketch on the table, "It's just the two of us. These dishes are more than enough. If we add two more people, we can only barely feed ourselves. But now in Shandong, there are more than just two mouths..."
…If you want to eat more, you have to grab it from other people’s plates..."
Fei Qian took another plate of beans from the side and put it on the table. "It's not enough to eat. It's best to get it from outside. But the problem is that the people sitting next to the pot just want to eat and don't want to get it."
, or just want others to get it... It will take two hundred years to wait..."
Pang Tong was surprised.
Fei Qian suddenly said, "There are many people from Shandong who have come to Chang'an recently..."
Pang Tong nodded and said, "The Wen Department is checking."
The two people looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
After finishing eating and drinking, Fei Qian and Pang Tong got up and went to the side room in the Husband's Mansion, where they continued their discussion while looking at the sand table.
The sand table in Wuling area is actually very simple.
There is no good way to do this. Although under Fei Qian's guidance, the technology related to surveying and mapping maps in the Han Dynasty has grown by leaps and bounds, and the fineness on the map has changed from an idea to a measurable approximate interval, but
It is still difficult to have an accurate representation of some areas.
Just like the Wuling area, it has one characteristic.
Mountainous.
Because it is not clear how many mountains there are, and it is also unclear whether there are roads between the mountains, so the symbolic meaning of this sand table is greater than its actual use.
"About this location?" Pang Tong used a ruler to mark on the sand table with some uncertainty, "It should be almost here. Disembark from here, and then go in along the mountain road..."
"Moshan..." Fei Qian frowned and read Zhuge Liang's letter again, generally agreeing with Pang Tong's mark on the sand table.
There is no other way. Once the hot air balloon research is successful, we can start some more detailed mapping.
There is a mountain road in Yishan Mountain, which only Wulingman knows.
Zhuge Liang stated in his letter that the Wuling Barbarians had sent people not only to tell them that there was such a way, but also to express their willingness to cooperate with the Hussar to overthrow the evil Jiangdong regime...
So Zhuge Liang urgently reported for instructions and asked Fei Qian if he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to build Jiangdong's back garden.
If the most important place in Jiangdong is around Wu County, then the chrysanthemums in Jiangdong are probably in Wuling County.
There are five streams in Wuling, which are winding in the mountains. There are some similarities...
Ahem.
Fei Qian shook the bad association out of his mind, and then smiled, "Hu Qizhong was walking north at night, and Wu Ling Yi wanted to march south. This Wu Ling barbarian is really interesting..."
"Hu Qi marches north? Wuling marches south?" Pang Tong raised his eyebrows at the side, "My lord, you want to march north and south. Is it difficult to support Wuling in the western region?"
"Ah... um..." Fei Qianba smacked his lips and murmured. Can this be said to be a poem by Lao Du that Pang Tong suddenly remembered? However, this poem seems to fit the situation. Hu Qi from the Western Regions in the North
, Wuling Manyue in the south.
"Wuling Man..." Fei Qian changed the subject, "How much does Shi Yuan know about him?"
Due to the space limit of the newspaper, Zhuge Liang only said that he had contacted Wulingman when he reported it, but he did not talk about Wulingman's related matters in detail, nor did he introduce some of Wulingman's background in detail.
Pang Tong thought for a while and then said: "There are records in the past that the Gaoxin family had dogs and Rong bandits with five-colored hair, named Panhu. To get rid of them and marry the emperor's daughter was the beginning of the Wuling barbarians. This was
There are many corrections in this theory, which may be because the Han family deliberately scorned it."
Fei Qian smiled and nodded.
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu, Wu and Yue, there were all Southern Barbarians. Because of their geographical location, they can be called Wuyue, Ouyue, Yangyue, etc. Their customs are different from those in the Central Plains. There are many people with tattoos and broken hair." Pang Tong said, "Because of the tribes, I don't know how many people there are.
, so it is called Baiyue. Wulingman is one of them."
To put it simply, Wuling Barbarians, as the name suggests, are a group of barbarians living in Wuling County, Jingzhou.
Because of the cultural gap, these people called Barbarians and Yue did not form a relatively complete cultural transmission chain, so that even they themselves could not explain their origins clearly, so they were regarded as slaves by the Central Plains people.
The so-called legend of a group of puppies born of dogs.
The person who arranged this incident may not be the historian who wrote the history book. The historian may also have adopted a widely circulated rhetoric and recorded it. But in any case, these "city people" who originally claimed to be from the Central Plains
, I’m afraid they never thought that one day their descendants would be forced to wander to these barbaric lands, and then marry with these "bastards" or "dog-raised" descendants...
Of course, conversely, it may not necessarily be a malicious arrangement. Because in ancient times, many tribes were not civilized, and primitive worship was a very common state. Even the tribes in the Central Plains evolved from some kind of primitive totem worship.
It was improved, so when the Central Plains people came into contact with the Baiyue area, it was entirely possible that these Baiyue people claimed to be the descendants of a certain dog god.
"The name of the Wuling Barbarians dates back to the time of Guangwu. In the past, in the 23rd year of Jianwu's founding, the Wuling Barbarians were in great power, plundering counties and surrounding areas. There were more than ten thousand Zhou commanderies at first, but they could not be conquered. Later there was a wave of attacks.
The general's horse took three years to defeat him, which shows his bravery."
"The Wuling barbarians and others were pro-Han, and they were called good barbarians. They also helped the Han army to suppress the rebellion," Pang Tong said.
The good barbarians defeated it, and they also got the barbarian soldiers from Wuling... In the land of Baiyue, the barbarians are unstable, and the rebellion is uncertain, mostly because of taxation. Now that Jiangdong has increased taxes, there may be more people.
resentment……"
Fei Qian nodded. This was also mentioned in Zhuge Liang's books and newspapers. Jiangdong's increase in taxes on the Wuling area and the Wuxi area was a very important reason why these Wuling barbarians were dissatisfied with Jiangdong's rule. It was also the reason why these Wuling barbarians were dissatisfied with Jiangdong's rule.
Man expressed his willingness to turn to Fei Qian and accept Fei Qian's governance.
Wuling barbarians are also called Wuxi barbarians.
That is to say, there are several main tributaries in the upper reaches of Yuanshui River, including Xiongxi, Xixi, Wuxi, Youxi, and Chenxi. After all, people cannot live without water. The barbarians living in this area interact with each other.
Connected together, they are the main strength of Wuling Man.
"Jiangdong..." Fei Qian muttered, "Jiangdong is suddenly increasing taxes. What happened?"
Pang Tong shook his head slightly, "The road to Jiangdong is far away, and the message transmission is slow. I don't know exactly what happened at the moment."
Fei Qian took a breath, nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Then, why don't we test it?"
"Testing?" Pang Tong was a little confused, "Testing who?"
Fei Qian laughed, "Since we want to test, we need to be more generous... conduct a bigger test..."
