After all, Gao Shun is a good person, so he will inevitably suffer more from his conscience, and hurt his own interests because he thinks too much for others. This is what everyone knows, so when there is a chance to force good people, there will always be some people standing up without hesitation.
It is always easier to force good people than to force bad people.
When the good people are forced to death, these people will not think about dealing with the bad people, but will be ready to target the next good people, or to cultivate the next generation of good people.
But if it's all bad people's environment, it's terrible.
When Lu Bu started to go west with his men, he encountered such an environment.
Compared to Gao Shun, he was still restrained all the way, and Lu Bu's side was like a group of evil wolves released.
In the early days, because Yanqi is close to Xihai City, Yanqi did not dare to make any hostile moves when Lu Bu introduced it. He almost took Yanqi without bloodshed, which was a acceptable beginning for the entire Western Expedition, but what happened next gradually turned into a disaster.
Because after the troops arrived in Yanqi, on the one hand, the people from the Western Regions on the north and south lines did not come to meet up as Lu Bu had originally imagined, but instead used various names to evade, so that Lu Bu was furious to send Gao Shun to the north to clean up the rear of the Cheshi and Wusun.
On the other hand, the spring rain in Taixing for eight years made it difficult to walk on the road. It means that even the cavalry cannot walk fast. It turned out that a day would take three days or even more, but people's appetite would not decrease just because of the stop. They still eat as much as they should eat, which puts a lot of logistical pressure.
In addition, Lu Bu went on an expedition very suddenly. Well, even if it was not suddenly, the Western Regions Protectorate had actually been emptied by borers, and there was an empty shell left that could not support Lu Bu's request...
Normally, Lu Bu’s strategy is not a problem.
Note that it is normal.
Because under normal circumstances, Li Ru had various nodes in the Western Regions. Through nodes and vanguard camps, he controlled most of the Western Regions like a net. He controlled the Western Regions through small-scale troops. Many things only needed a small number of Han soldiers to solve, and there was no need for Lu Bu to dispatch a large army.
The Western Regions have not been organized for a long time, so there must be a process of mutual integration. Li Ru's arrangement is to gradually get used to the Han army's control over the Western Regions by adjusting and restraining localities, forming a state similar to a military government, and then step by step strengthening the sense of belonging.
Unfortunately, after Li Ru's death, the original balance was broken. Once the judge who represented justice became a slut for collecting money, the so-called legal regulations naturally became a joke. In a strange environment, the most important means of gaining status may be fists and swords and guns, but human society cannot always have only destruction and violence. If you want to survive and develop, you must have order and rules. These orders and rules are very fragile and will be dragged into the alley by greed at any time, and then add additional ridicule and ridicule.
Simply put, the current Western Regions have changed from initial obedience to disgust against the Han people.
When Lu Bu defeated the Kushan Rest force, the people of the Western Regions were more or less happy, feeling that they had ushered in a new representative of the Western Regions order. However, after Li Ru's death, the people of the Western Regions suddenly realized that no matter whether they met, they would have to pay for the people they met, and whether they would have to pay for the rules or not, they would have to pay for the Han people in the Western Regions?
Lu Bu was cautious in dividing his troops, but only let Gao Shun divide some of them to go to the northern line. This is also in line with the military strategy. After all, in a relatively unfamiliar battlefield, whether it is attack or defense, concentrating strength is the most effective strategy. However, under the above reasons, when Lu Bu started to march west again, he found that most of the people from the Western Regions in the cities and villages along the way had escaped, and the rest were basically old and weak who could not run, looking at the soldiers led by Lu Bu with an indifferent and hatred look.
There were too many people from the Western Regions who escaped. The Lu Bu army had no energy or time to capture all of these people. This directly led to two serious consequences. First, it lost the concealment and suddenness of the battle. Of course, there was not much concealment. After all, Yanqi had been delayed for a long time. On the other hand, the people from the Western Regions who escaped would definitely become the power of their opponents. The tactics of surprise attacks and sneak attacks became difficult to use, and the rest was only to prepare for frontal field battles and siege.
Of course, Lu Bu cannot refuse to admit that he himself does not have the conditions for a surprise attack, after all, the journey is too far. If the Western Regions were cooperating and not reporting the news, there might be a possibility, but this is not the most troublesome problem, but Lu Bu's subsequent supply problems.
But the people of the Western Regions are now beginning to hate the Lu Bu army, especially when the military discipline of the Lu Bu army is not very good.
Cavalry tactics emphasize lightness and maneuverability.
If you want to achieve mobility, you naturally need strong logistics.
Since Wei Xu dared to sell everything, he was on the first day of the 1st year. Naturally, someone did the fifteenth day of the 1st year. The ones above didn’t want to take care of the matter, and the ones below were even more happy. At first, they just sold those scrapped weapons and weapons, but later they made some scrapped ones, but later they were too lazy to even make the name, so they sold them directly!
As long as you give money, everything will flow out, and then turn into yellow and white things and then flow to mouths of all sizes...
The result is that when you need urgent use, all kinds of supplies are in short supply!
This is not worse.
What's worse is that in order to cover up the accounts and prevent Lu Bu from discovering the problem, Wei Xu jumped and asked his subordinates to "find a way" himself...
What else can I do?
When there is no progress outside, I naturally extend my hand to my own people.
The entire Western Region Protectorate, those diligent, frugal, upright and innocent officials were excluded, driven away, and framed one by one. The rest were naturally those guys who only knew how to flatter, flatter and corrupt. Therefore, if you can count on these worms, you will understand what needs and how to cooperate with this huge Lu Bu army, which is responsible for military tasks?
Because I only know how to be greedy and my mind is blocked by money, I feel particularly stupid when I run it. Either I just don’t have any goods at all, or I just gather together to compete for the originally unlucky transportation volume, including logistics vehicles, labor, cattle and horses. The transportation team in front stopped, and naturally the one behind was Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and the intersection of Xihaicheng was blocked tightly. Whether it was important or not, it was difficult to pass.
Those who want to enter the warehouse are wet in the rain outside, those who want to send out cannot deliver, and those who want to transport cannot find the transporter. As a result, the materials that have finally been collected are piled up in chaos. When the accounts are checked again, they will either be in short supply or they will be damaged...
If the materials transported to the front line can be useful, then it would be fine, but it depends on what they were transported first? One hundred thousand copper coins, two thousand coarse cloth, fifteen trucks of bowls and chopsticks, and some of them don’t know whether they should be used to tie goods or to tie people…
Arrow, no.
Battle knife, no.
There was no urgent need for food and grass, only the empty bowls and chopsticks placed in piles, like mocking mouths, wrinkles, silently laughing at the sky and earth, or crying bitterly.
Wei Xu jumped anxiously, and Lu Bu gave him the pressure, so he frantically ordered to urge food and grass, not only for people but also for essence for war horses, which caused even greater chaos.
Due to insufficient capacity and imbalance in dispatching, and each individual only wants to ensure their position and head, when orders to dispatch food and grass that can't be done and remove the hat and chop off the head, all the vehicles, horses and supplies transporting other materials along the way were immediately requisitioned. The goods transported on the original supplies trucks could find a place to put them. If they could not find a place, they would dump them directly on the side of the road, and then the empty truck would go back to carry the food and grass.
There are not all officials who know how to allocate and manage, but these truly talented officials gradually withdrew from the Western Regions under the expulsion of bad money. Those who originally only want to make money and respect their superiors every day do not have more advanced communication tools that allow them to coordinate and communicate with each other. At the same time, those experiences of welcoming and sending out food, drinking, and enjoyment are useless at this moment...
The only thing that can be thankful is that Lu Bu has not fallen or been attacked yet, so he has not been attacked, so there is no so-called loss. All deficiencies are just values ​​on the books, just like stock losses in the stock market. Many people think that as long as they are not sold and cut their losses, it is not considered a real loss, but they did not think that one day, the Western Regions Protectorate Company also has the risk of bankruptcy.
…(╬￣Dish￣)=○…
His eyes turned to the south.
In this spring of the eighth year of Taixing, Shamoke, who was in Sichuan and Sichuan, received the latest news from his tribe, saying that Sun Quan had asked Huang Gai to be the fake governor, held the throne, gathered the troops in Jiangdong, and ordered the expedition to Wuling, etc., and then said that the people of Jiangdong had begun to gather the troops and gathered the 3,000 people of Zhu Huan who was originally stationed in Nanjun, claiming that he would dispatch 100,000 soldiers to fight against Nanyue.
Shamoke was an ambitious person. He came to Sichuan and Shu just to kill people with a knife. Of course, some of these Shamoke wanted to lead the tribe members to get rid of the factors of Jiangdong exploitation.
So is Shamoko good or bad, treacherous or loyal?
After Shamoke received the news, he naturally did not dare to neglect at all. He hurriedly ran to the Badong camp and found Zhuge Liang.
Although Shamoke felt that the value of "100,000" was a bit exaggerated, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, because even if it was reduced by half, it was not something that Wuling could resist.
The current Badong Camp is even larger than before, and the surrounding area is still being expanded, which seems to be a complete construction of this Badong Camp into a permanent city.
On the open space opened up at the edge of the camp, there were cowhide tents everywhere. The materials piled up like hills, covered with felt cloth and oil cloth, tied with hemp ropes, and neatly lined up. The soldiers holding knives and guns patrolled back and forth, not only to prevent sluts or steal them with sloppy hands, but also to prevent fire and moisture.
After all, there will be a lot of rain in Sichuan and Sichuan. If you are not careful, the felt cloth and oil cloth are not covered properly, and the materials will easily become moldy and spoil if they get wet...
Following the excavated drainage and the chalk sulfur ditch that is also isolated from insects and rats, there is a small piece of ground, and four blacksmith shops are set up. The hammerheads and iron anchors are slammed and the damaged and repaired equipment are arranged on both sides.
Further ahead are laborers and soldiers, who are repairing the outermost camp walls.
Last year, a plague broke out in central Sichuan, and the project of repairing roads in the direction of Nanzhong to Jiaozhi had to be put on hold for the time being. Now, these labor services that have been transferred back to Sichuan for rest and adjustment have gradually recovered under the decoction of medicine and acupuncture, and have been successively dispatched to the Badong camp to build camps, or fortresses, and are more appropriate.
These laborers obviously don't have much disgust with their current life and work. They can even hear a few slang songs from some unknown place on the construction site. The singing people whistled and roared, which won the praises or scoldings from others.
This is also part of the reason why Shamoke trusted Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang, and the two represented the cavalry forces. He had seen Jiangdong pulling people from Nanyue to work. In addition to wearing shackles and handcuffs, whipping and kicking, he didn't even have ordinary rest or food. How could he have seen it like in the Badong camp in Sichuan and Sichuan? He had already blown a rest whistle. There was still labor force working hard to dig soil to transport and consolidate the earth wall...
Shamoko had no idea at all at first, but later he realized that these labors were calculated based on what projects. A small team of labors would take care of one or several projects. After completing the basic quota, the extras could be exchanged for their own accumulated labor points, or exchanged labor points for money to buy what they needed!
Food is not good, but you can eat less. If you work hard, you can also change to some wine, meat and meat. If you are sick, you can treat it. The doctor will even force you to rest and not be allowed to go to work. Even if you work hard, you will mumble that you can...
Is there such a good place in the world?
At first, Shamoko didn't believe it. Not only did he ask questions continuously, but he even went to work in person to see them go to exchange money and buy sour wine to share it in the team. He truly realized that under the cavalry, at least in Sichuan and Shu, there was indeed a big difference from Jiangdong.
The fortress in Badong Daying has not been fully established yet, but it has begun to take shape. The reason is that these labors are really hard-working.
These laborers cut down the trees needed upstream, and then drift down the river, pick them up here, without even peeling the bark, and throw them onto a water saw. Soon, wooden stakes, wooden boards, and strips pile up and dry, or use them directly.
The piles of wooden piles, wooden boards and strips were moved away by another group of people.
The wooden stake was nailed to the ground, and the wooden boards were laid, and the wooden strips were reinforced. Then the soil was poured into it, and the roof was repeatedly tamped and then the wooden boards were laid. This was the village. As long as the village was erected, the rest would be easier, but it was just some civil buildings...
When Shamoke arrived at the Central Army's tent of the Badong camp, Gan Ning happened to come back to patrol the camp.
Gan Ning is also an ambitious guy, so once he loses the direction of his ambition, he will easily become decadent. Otherwise, when Xu Huang arrived in Sichuan, he would have found out that the Badong camp was slack and scolded him very much.
Gan Ning is indeed a bit unruly, but he respects those who have the skills, or those who cannot compare with him. Whether it is Xu Huang's heavy battle axe or Zhuge Liang's account books that are as numerous as the stars in the sky, Gan Ning's tone is very casual, "Hey, that big man, what's the matter with Jiangdong? Wait, let's talk about it... I'm just going to find you, I heard that the name of the tribe members you are planning to give to... is the one in your tent...
Gan Ning stopped and scratched his head, apparently he could not remember the name of the Shamoko tribe.
Shamoko could not beat Gan Ning, maybe it was hard to say if he was really hard, but when he was competing with each other, Shamoko, who was strong enough, obviously could not beat Gan Ning with skills and strength.
Everyone's talents are still a little different. Gan Ning from Sichuan and Shu is obviously not as big as Xu Huang from Hedong, and has stronger strength. Therefore, when Gan Ning faces Shamoke, he feels like he can't beat the big ones and beat the small ones.
"Sha Nei Zhong, Sha Kezu..." Shamoke also said helplessly. He knew that Gan Ning obviously did not respect him much, but what could he do? Now they are asking for Gan Ning, not Gan Ning's asking for Wulingman.
"Oh, yes, these two people!" Gan Ning nodded vigorously, "I heard that you plan to promote them to your left and right generals?"
Shamoko was stunned.
He did say so to his two tribe members. At that time, he finally contacted Zhuge Liang of Ganning and was entertained again. Seeing the labor situation in the Badong camp, he felt that even if he took a step back, Wuling Man would eventually become a labor service, and it would be better in the cavalry than in Jiangdong. So Shamoke felt that the direction he was running for Wuling Man was correct, and he drank wine again, and he was somewhat scented and sarcastic...
Shamoke didn't understand Gan Ning's meaning very much. Although he did say that after he became the Barbarian King of Wuling Man, he would enfeoff his two subordinates as left and right generals, he didn't know whether to admit it or not. After all, he has not even received the official title of the Barbarian King of Wuling Man, so why should he be promoted to the General of Right and Right? He didn't know if Gan Ning was warning him, thinking that he did not value the reputation of the cavalry and enfeoffed his subordinates without authorization, so Shamoke hesitated and was very embarrassed.
When Shamoke was at a loss, Zhuge Liang walked in and came to Gan Ning with a pile of accounts in his hand to sign and check the accounts. Seeing Shamoke's expression, he asked for a while and then laughed, "Captain Sha, General Gan just asked casually, don't worry, don't be afraid... right, General Gan?"
Gan Ning rolled his eyes, looked at Zhuge Liang, and then snorted vaguely.
Chapter completed!
