Chapter 3024: Heading west and cherishing each other all the way
Lu Bu was about to leave. He decided to go all the way west, taking Xiaowang Wusun with him, taking the route of Cheshi Houguo, all the way to Wusun, and heading west.
Fei Qian hosted a banquet, with Zhang Liao as his companion.
Lu Bu stared at the wine bowl, but he just stared and did not take the bowl, even though Fei Qian poured the bowl of wine for him personally.
"In Luoyang..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "Brother Fengxian was so drunk that the bowl was dry..."
Lu Bu laughed, "I was stupid then."
Fei Qian nodded, "I was stupid at that time. Brother Feng, do you still remember? At that time, I wanted to learn some skills with swords and guns... Later I realized that this human power has its limit..."
Lu Bu looked at Fei Qian expressionlessly, "Are you talking about me?"
Fei Qian nodded, "I'm talking about everyone, including me, including you. When it comes to killing the enemy on the battlefield and commanding the charge, I'm not as good as you, not as good as Wen Yuan, not even an ordinary general..."
This is what I finally understood when I was conquering Xianbei... At that time, the Xianbei people rushed directly into the central army, and a Xianbei warrior rushed within a few steps of me. If he hadn't finally died... I gradually understood it later.
Well, if I were the commander-in-chief of the army, I would have my biggest weakness. As long as the enemy takes my life at all costs, the army will be in chaos! After that, I gradually stopped commanding the army and horses, because I knew that this was not my strength...
…』
Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked at Fei Qian, "Then this time you come to the Western Regions... and conquer the Shanshan King's City..."
"I was in the rear army at that time, and the central army and the front army were handed over to Taishi Ziyi..." Fei Qian smiled calmly, "I actually just brought a flag and stood there to watch. The entire attack plan of the royal city, the specifics
The implementation was all arranged by Taishi Ziyi... Anyway, in the battle formation, during the battle, I am not as good as Brother Fengxian, nor as good as Ziyi Wenyuan..."
Lu Bu was silent for a while, picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then put down the wine bowl, "When it comes to strategy, I'm not as good as you."
Admitting that some projects are inferior to others is undoubtedly a huge improvement for Lu Bu.
People always find out after they get out of the well that the person who is named the little prince or princess in their family is not the most beautiful, nor the smartest, and may not even be able to win over others...
Fei Qian picked up the jug again and prepared to add wine to Lu Bu. Zhang Liao on the side quickly took it and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it..."
Fei Qian smiled and didn't force it.
"Is this the civil and military way you seek?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "We generals fought desperately at the front, and finally let the civil servants take our place..."
"I suddenly remembered something..." Fei Qian did not answer directly, "When I told Brother Feng and Wen Yuan that I wanted to learn some self-defense techniques, battle formations and marksmanship... what did you say at that time?
?Hmm... If a civil servant like me is needed to fight in battle, what should a military general do? That's probably the case. I wonder if Brother Fengxian still remembers it?"
Lu Bu fell silent.
"Civil and military affairs are meant to complement each other." Fei Qian also took the wine bowl and touched it gently to the side of Lu Bu's wine bowl. Then he motioned to Zhang Liao, "Come, let's drink this wine together first, and then I'll talk about it."
Why do I have to open up the Western Region..."
Lu Bu said nothing, but picked up the bowl, made a slurp, and drank.
Zhang Liao also picked up the bowl and drank it in two or three gulps.
Fei Qian drank half the bowl, and then smiled, "Look, everyone has their own abilities in drinking. I can't drink it all in one go...Okay, let me tell you why I attacked the Western Regions, because this is the last time the Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions."
Opportunity! This is the last technical window period for the big man. If it passes... let's just say, do you think this armor... looks like it?"
Lu Bu nodded.
"The victory of armor is beneficial to war." Zhang Liao said while adding wine, "But why is this a necessary move to open the Western Region?"
Fei Qian knocked on the armor on his body, "Where does the armor come from? Metallurgy. And the metallurgical technology of the Han superior to the Hu will slowly decrease over time, until one day the Hu people also know how to metallurgize."
... During the Han Dynasty, the metallurgy was the best in the world, so the military armor of the Han Dynasty was the best in the world... Even if these techniques were kept secret, the barbarians would speculate and study them..."
"If Han is strong, then Hu is weak... But what if Hu is strong?" Fei Qian said slowly, "Who can avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters? If you don't take advantage of the time when Han is strong, plunder the wealth and goods from all over for storage and use.
, Is it possible that when disaster strikes Chengdu, the military disaster starts in a moment, and then regrets that it has no reserves?"
There were several periods of obvious repressive advantage in ancient China. One of the most obvious periods was the period of classical military power in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Especially in the Western Han Dynasty, the rapid development of metallurgy made China's iron and steel industry stand on its own.
At the pinnacle of the world, it was precisely because of the technical advantages of iron making that during the Western Han Dynasty, under the conditions of relatively backward productivity and production relations, expeditions and super expeditions were still launched, and they also achieved brilliant results.
, expanding the territory to areas that China had not set foot in before. Later feudal dynasties, especially Whip Chui, said that the territory of the Qing Dynasty was also like that, but in fact they were overgeneralizing. After all, the Qing Dynasty was under the Han Dynasty.
Fourteen hundred years later!
With 1,400 more years and 1,400 more years of development of productivity and production technology, how much did the territory actually expand? All the Qing Dynasty’s energy was focused on playing with braids!
Anyone who has played Age of Empires knows that not taking the initiative to suppress the opponent when you have an early advantage is a waste and an original sin.
Moreover, in the process of land area expansion, many problems will be solved during the development process.
Just like if a company has been on an upward trend, then the company will definitely not be strict about attendance and stingy. Even if you drink water, you must make detailed regulations, and you must make a report when going to the toilet. In the cafeteria, too
There will be more abundant food, the company will have more jobs, and more opportunities. But once the company's development reaches a bottleneck, not only will the jobs immediately be rolled in, but the prices in the canteen will also start to soar, the amount of meals will be reduced, and late-night snack rides will be cancelled.
Wait for the subsidies, and at the same time, there will be more and more internal disputes over trivial matters...
Therefore, in order to solve the internal problems of the country, in fact, what many countries in later generations did was to transfer the conflicts externally.
It's better than fighting each other internally, isn't it?
Fei Qian talked nonchalantly, telling Lu Bu one by one the follow-up arrangements for the Western Regions.
It is necessary to develop agriculture in the Western Regions, rationally plan the ratio of animal husbandry and farming industries, build water conservancy facilities, irrigate more land, recruit agricultural and engineering students, control pests and diseases, and select Zhuanghe seeds...
After agriculture develops, it can feed a larger population. After the Hu people in the Western Regions have food and drink, they will become more and more inclined to the Han people. At the same time, enlightenment will also penetrate at this time. When the population of the Western Regions increases, they will
Industry can be developed on a large scale.
The mines and various metal minerals in the Western Regions, especially gold and silver, can supplement China's metal currency and allow China's economy to develop again. The innate advantages of cattle and horse transportation in the Western Regions, coupled with the trade between various places, will bring the Western Regions to China.
The benefits are once again magnified...
The more Fei Qian spoke, the more silent Lu Bu became.
Drinking in silence.
Drink bowl after bowl.
Zhang Liao poured bowl after bowl and drank bowl after bowl.
In the end, Lu Bu got so drunk that he fell under the table.
Zhang Liao was also half drunk.
Fei Qian picked up the cold wine bowl, looked at Lu Bu, and then sighed slightly,
"On the east road of Luoyang City, the cold wind and dust are flying.
When a friend brings a drink, he expresses his heartfelt feelings.
Autumn leaves fall off and white dew turns to frost.
Even after traveling thousands of miles, this love is hidden in my heart.
I hope that we can live together forever and never forget each other.
Wait until the spring days are warm and the fragrance of flowers will come again..."
Finished drinking.
People eventually disperse.
Fei Qian got up and left.
Listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing, Lu Bu, who was lying drunk on the ground, murmured half a sentence, "The fragrance of drunken flowers... the fragrance of drunken flowers... I can never go back..."
As he spoke, Lu Bu laughed for a while, then changed his voice to a sigh, and in the end there was only a slight sigh...
…
…
People spend their entire lives looking for answers.
The same goes for Yan Rou.
Yan Rou's belief is not in the Hussar, not from the beginning, but it cannot be said that he is not loyal to the Hussar. He is just because the Hussar has been fighting barbarians, so he is inclined to the Hussar. So.
Whether Yan Rou is loyal or not is actually not correct. After all, people are people. They are not the kind of machines that can burn circuit boards at birth. They only know how to follow the standards of the circuit board.
Black and white can only be established in the eyes of a three-year-old child.
Yan Rou led hundreds of people and horses forward along the mountain road.
This is a pure cavalry unit, with one man and two horses, marching on the mountain road. In fact, the cavalry is not much faster than the infantry, and sometimes it is even slower. Because people need to take care of the horses.
A war horse has a straw belly. It can survive only by eating dry food, and it can survive by eating green grass, but it basically doesn't have much stamina.
And whether it is a war horse or a pack horse, they are all delicate ladies who need to be taken good care of. The high heels must fit well, otherwise the war horse will damage its hooves and it will collapse. You should pay attention to it when it is cold or hot. Don't think that drinking more hot water can solve everything.
Question: You should also pay attention to the horse's back and the girdle. Otherwise, you will inevitably lose your temper when riding...
Yan Rou was not able to take away all the soldiers and horses, but could only take part of the troops in Taiyuan County. When he set off, he didn't even know which direction Xiahou Dun in Shexian County was heading now, and what the next step was.
What is the strategic purpose, but he is still here.
It is precisely because we are not clear that we must figure it out and know what the other party does so that we can deal with it on our own side.
The sky was overcast and the cold wind howled.
It is true that you can make achievements on the battlefield, but most of them are devouring lives. After Yan Zhi died, Yan Rou had to do something for him no matter what. This is Yan Rou's somewhat simple and direct concept.
Revenge.
What's more, Yan Rou feels that Fei Qian should have a better chance of winning. After all, most of the elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty are concentrated in Fei Qian's hands. Moreover, this hussar general is decisive and courageous in his strategies.
A character, following him is much better than following other weaklings.
For example, that softie named Cui in Jinyang City, Taiyuan...
Yan Rou sneered at it.
Hesitant and hesitant, he doesn't look like a neat man.
There is kindness to repay, and there is hatred to seek revenge. Those who have given you kindness must repay it no matter what. Even if you go through fire and water and risk your life, you should repay the kindness. Similarly, if you have revenge, even if you are under the Nine Springs
You also have to drag your enemies down with you. If you can't even do this, can you still be considered a man?
Damn it, if I had known I shouldn’t have listened to Yan Zhi in the first place...
If he hadn't listened to Yan Zhi's advice back then, maybe Yan Zhi wouldn't have died now.
Yan Rou couldn't help but squeeze the handle of the spear in her hand.
This is the reason why he and Cui Jun can't get along. They have different compatibility and cannot talk about going together at all.
Moreover, Yan Rou also felt that Cui Jun's arrogance would cause problems sooner or later, so he might as well take the opportunity to leave Taiyuan. If Cui Jun was implicated for some reason in the future, wouldn't it be an unjust death?
Although Yan Rou now says that he has few soldiers, most of them are troops he brought back from Mobei. Coupled with the training and elite equipment from the Taiyuan period, his combat power cannot be underestimated.
Yan Rou carried a big bow on his back and carried a spear, just like other soldiers. Although they were all equipped with a spare war horse, they tried to save as much energy as possible to save some of the horse's strength.
Yan Rou didn't think that he could compete with Xiahou Dun with this small amount of troops. He just felt that he had to do something. No matter what he did, it would be better than doing nothing and waiting. Now Fei Qian went west and Cao Jun of Shandong took the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
, this is normal, so as long as Fei Qian's squadron comes back, then the Han's strongest troops can easily crush Shandong Cao Jun's wishful thinking, and he can not only avenge Yan Zhi, but also
You can get some more merit and go to the next level!
At least don't pair up with that softie named Cui anymore...
Returning to the Northern Territory may be a good choice.
Longxi or the Western Regions are also acceptable.
Flying horse!
Everyone is waiting for you now!
While thinking about it, suddenly there were several sounds of bowstrings, breaking the silence in the mountain road!
"Thief Scout!"
Yan Rou's men at the front of the queue shouted loudly.
In the valley ahead, there is a small mound that is not very high.
More than a dozen Cao Jun soldiers stood up behind the small mound and fired at Yan Rou's vanguard below...
Yan Rou frowned, and immediately thrust the spear in her hand into the ground, then tightened the laces on the horse in a few clicks, fixed the saddle, and immediately flew onto the horse, knocking the horse's belly with her foot and picking up the horse at the same time.
Spear, Duan shouted, "Come with me!"
Yan Rou also sent scouts, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Jun's scouts went so deep into Fukouxing and even reached here!
The arrows of Cao Jun's scouts were whistling, but apart from shooting down three or two people at the beginning, they were basically unable to achieve any good damage effect.
Because Yan Rou's men began to hide their heads and faces and other important parts behind the shields, and the bow power of Cao Jun's scouts alone was not enough to break the shield, and shooting on armor without shield protection would often cause damage due to the armor armor.
The angle of the shot is not good, the angle of incidence is not enough and it will bounce out. Even if it does penetrate the armor, it will not cause as much damage as if it penetrates the head and chest.
The encounter suddenly started in the mountain road.
It is a common situation for scouts to ambush scouts. These days, no one can have a radar hanging on their chest, and they can see little red dots jumping at every turn. If they are not careful, they may be ambushed.
Although he said that, the dozen or so soldiers of Yan Rou who were ambushed were cursing angrily, and because they had to protect their horses, they could not join the battle. Occasionally, a few stray arrows hit the shields, making a clanging sound.
Just when these people were getting a little impatient, they heard Yan Rou's voice coming from behind: "Get out of the way!"
Everyone immediately turned aside, comforting the horses around them, and making way for Yan Rou.
Yan Rou immediately rode up, rushing up from the given passage like a whirlwind!
Cao Jun's scouts were immediately attracted by Yan Rou, and they turned their arrows to shoot at her. The spear in Yan Rou's hand danced like a windmill, immediately covering a large area, not only covering his own horse.
, together with the seven or eight subordinates who were still protecting him.
Yan Rou's soldiers immediately seized the opportunity and fired their bows to fight back.
A Cao Jun scout accidentally exposed his figure and was hit in the head and face by an arrow. He fell to the sky and lost his breath. This also made other Cao Jun scouts shrink back.
Yan Rou shouted loudly, as if she wanted to shout out the suffocated breath she had been holding in Taiyuan for a while. This roar echoed in the valleys and mountain roads, suppressing all noise!
Yan Rou's more than ten years of fighting in the Youbei Desert taught him one thing: only a fallen enemy is a good enemy!
Once you take action, show no mercy!
Amidst the roar, Yan Rou clamped the horse's belly fiercely and rushed forward!
"Small……"
The soldiers behind Yan Rou thought that Yan Rou had not noticed the vertical boulder in front of the hill. The stone about one foot was the support of Cao Jun's scouts. If they wanted to go uphill around this stone, they would naturally be flanked by Cao Jun.
…
But Yan Rou didn't choose to go around, but rushed towards the rugged rock!
When she saw Yan Rou's horse neighing, her four hooves flew into the air, and she stepped directly on a section on the side of the rock. She immediately jumped over the huge boulder in front of her and jumped up to the mound!
In fact, the jumping ability of horses is not fixed. A tall war horse does not necessarily dare to jump high. In many cases, it depends on whether the horse dares or not, and also whether it is forced to rush, such as Liu Daer's Lu...
Yan Rou's war horse accompanied him all the way from the northern desert, and he was well-informed, but it was just a stone ten feet high. What's more, it was not straight up and down, but rugged and had a place to stay, so it didn't matter.
Fuzzy jumped up directly!
The tip of Yan Rou's spear was as sharp as a sword, and it rolled and swept like a giant python. In a blink of an eye, it cut the bones and flesh of Cao Jun's scout at the front, and his limbs fell in all directions.
In the valley, on the hillock, there was a howling sound, and Cao Jun's scouts were immediately confused. They did not expect that someone would rush up directly, and they wanted to abandon their bows after they found Yan Rou jumping on the hillock with his men and horses.
There was no time to get a knife or a gun, only to hear a long series of popping sounds, like cowhide water bags, being slashed left and right by Yan Rou.
After Yan Rou's men also rushed onto the mound, they suddenly realized that there was nothing they could do to help, and they immediately cast a resentful look at Yan Rou...
Boss, it’s boring for a small soldier like this to snatch heads!
"Thieves!" Yan Rou blinked twice, "I accidentally didn't keep my hand... Forget it! See if anyone is breathing, and ask about the movements of Cao's army... The old rule is, a team of twenty people, bring a whistle.
