Chapter 3146 When the idea encounters a wrong path
Chapter 3145 When the idea encounters a wrong path
The sky is gloomy, and the cold wind accumulates dark clouds and squeezes them together, just like the highway around the long holiday. It is so empty that it is dying in normal times, but it is blocked tightly at the moment.
"I never thought that Cao Zixiao still had some tricks..."
In the Chang'an Cavalry Office, Pang Tong laughed and commented on Cao Ren, as if he was praising his younger generation.
Xun You was silent, as if it was most of the time.
Most of the time, Xun You would not come up with any ideas on the strategy of Cao's army.
At least I won't make any suggestions.
This is a bit like being in the Feiying and being in the heart of the Han Dynasty, but in fact it is just to protect yourself and avoid suspicion.
In Chang'an, the division of labor between Pang Tong and Xun You seems to be overlapping, but it is very clear. Most of the strategies and plans are done by Pang Tong, and the matters that support the distribution and dispatch of logistics materials that support these plans are handled by Xun You.
It's interesting to say that the housekeeper of Cao Cao's surname is Xun, and the logistics officer of Guanzhong here in Feiqian is also surnamed Xun. At the moment, no matter who is it, he feels that there is no problem with such a thing, and there will be no problems. Even the parties involved think it's okay.
There are still many legacies of Spring and Autumn in the Han Dynasty.
But the legacy of this Spring and Autumn Period is not that everyone in the Han Dynasty is really so stupid, or that they can really distinguish it clearly, but a kind of self-blindness under helplessness...
Because in the Han Dynasty, there were too few people who knew and mastered knowledge. Although they looked at the stars in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, what about them?
With just a little stroke, two major sects can be divided into gentry and ranger.
Cao Cao was the leader of the gentry, Liu Bei was the leader of the gentry, and Sun Quan was originally a gentry, but later he tried his best to squeeze into the gentry system, but the result was that the upper and lower levels could not reach it and nothing was.
Therefore, in the case of a great man, if you want to achieve something, you cannot do without the children of aristocratic families and wealthy families who have certain knowledge. Among the wealthy families, there will naturally be children who belong to different forces.
From this perspective, the princes in all parts of the Three Kingdoms are actually parasitic objects of aristocratic families.
In addition to the current Feiqian.
In Guanzhong, wealthy families and poor families reached a delicate balance.
But no one can say how long this balance can last.
Cao Cao hoped that this balance would collapse as soon as possible, but Fei Qian and Pang Tong felt that poor families and common people would play a greater role.
For example, Liao Hua.
Fei Zhen looked around and decided to ask, "Uncle Shiyuan, Cao Zixiao...what is this move meant?"
Pang Tong laughed, "The place where Wuguan is not worth worrying."
"Ah?" Fei Zhen couldn't understand this divine turn, so she turned to look at Xun You again.
Xun You nodded slightly.
Fei Zhen frowned, still unable to figure it out, but Pang Tong refused to tell it in detail.
Fei Zhen knew that it was Pang Tong for his own good.
If Pang Tong said everything, there would be no room for Fei Zhen to think about himself. For example, Pang Tong led a lead in the moment. For Fei Zhen should think and explore in detail. On the one hand, he would not be confused about the direction of his thinking because he had no clue. On the other hand, he would grow faster through this level of training...
But this kind of thing is quite painful.
In other words, learning is a painful thing no matter what era it is.
It’s like molting the shell, not tearing the self apart, just being self-satisfied, then you will never be able to grow.
Fei Zhen held her cheek and frowned and thought.
For him, it was not easy to understand the entire battlefield.
At his age, what he likes most is to go straight, but in this world, it is not just straight lines, but more of curves and arcs, or even a messy ball of threads.
Pang Tong looked at Fei Zhen and said, "Don't just think about Wuguan, you should... look higher..."
"Higher?" Fei Zhen couldn't help but frown, her face almost frowned.
Or should I put my toes to see if I can see if I can get a little taller?
Fei Zhen just murmured her, but saw Pang Tong and Xun You and the others discussing other matters.
Although watching movies and TV, it seems that fighting only requires a roar, and the rest are all ready, but in fact, there are more projects to test together in the war. Moreover, there are still no large-scale industry in the Han Dynasty. It is very difficult for commercial economies dominated by traditional handicrafts to support a large-scale battle for a long time.
Emperor Wu of Han almost fought against the Huns. It was not that Emperor Wu of Han was so wrong, but that the consumption of long-term wars was too great.
Feiqian is better here, basically moving in the right direction. At least it is working hard to improve productivity and production technology. Shandong is still the traditional model of small manor economies and handicraft family workshops, and the gap between them is also reflected bit by bit.
"The factory in Qinling Mountains, send a patrol again..." Pang Tong said while checking the documents, without even raising his head. "The bounty rewards that should be given will be given without a single point... Let the Wenshi send a few people to secretly visit... The temporary market will also be opened to provide these workers with purchases..."
The book assistant beside him wrote quickly.
Xun You took a volume of the text, opened it and glanced at it, and signaled that Shu Zuo on the side to deliver it to Pang Tong. "The Western Regions merchants knew that the business roads were reopened, and they were all looking at the list in the Han Chamber of Commerce... Should you adjust the purchase price of certain goods? The Western Regions spices were raised too high before..."
Pang Tong took the article, said yes, swiping it quickly, "The spices should indeed be slightly reduced... By the way, the price of gold and silverware has also been reduced... The price of craftsmen needs to be increased...
"Hedong Fenglingdu reported, Cao's army was very peeping..."
"Shaanjin troops have been withdrawn from Hedong..."
『Beiqu construction site equipment delivery...』
As the matter continues one by one, the recorder and the assistant officials run back and forth.
However, Fei Zhen's mind has always been on Cao Ren's affairs.
Wuguan is so powerful that it can be seen in the burning mountain black smoke...
Well, it may be a bit exaggerating to say this, but the people in Lantian did see the black smoke from Wuguan.
Lantian is also considered Guanzhong...
But why do you say "Don't worry"?
Of course, Fei Zhen would not think that Pang Tong was telling lies or saying something purely comforting him, but Pang Tong believed that he really didn't need to pay special attention to Wuguan. What is this for?
Don't worry, but Cao Ren has such a big momentum...
『Ah!』 Fei Zhen clapped her hands, 『I guessed it!』
Pang Tong and Xun You couldn't help but stop what was in their hands, looked at Fei Zhen, and quietly waited for Fei Zhen to speak.
Fei Zhen was erecting her waist and raised her little face, "Cao Zixiao is bluffing!"
"Oh?" Pang Tong moved his eyebrows, "How can he see?"
"Although wildfires can also be used to attack the city, they are scattered and opened, and the north wind is sweeping, and the spring changes. It is really impossible to overcome the city with the wind and fire. Fei Zhen thought, and said, "There are also many people in the city who investigated my father's movements... Therefore, Cao Ziren also intended to test it!"
Xun You smiled slightly and expressed his praise.
Then Fei Zhen turned to look at Pang Tong excitedly.
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes, pinched his beard, pondered for a moment, "Well... Although this inference is a bit far-fetched..." Then he looked at Fei Zhen's pitiful eyes, "Okay, it's pretty good..."
Fei Zhen laughed, and then realized that Pang Tong was just saying "It's good," that there was something wrong, not very good. So while happy, he began to think about what he was negligent about?
Fei Zhen looked at Pang Tong on the left and Xun You on the right, and couldn't help but think of Fei Qianlai in his heart.
If my father is here, can I go to play happily now?
Oh, this father is really. I kept tying my fingers and counting day by day, hoping for the stars and moon. I finally waited for the return, but I even went to Hedong...
When will my father come back?
Do I want to write another letter to my father?
Oh, it's really annoying!
...
...
Fei Qian is in Hedong and has no intention of returning to Guanzhong at all.
Feiqian’s strategic goals are actually really simple.
If the great man wants to go out and get rid of the original shackles, then Chang'an City is the first example of changes.
Fei Qian did not repair the city walls in Chang'an, which means that Chang'an's defense should be placed outside, rather than waiting for the enemy to attack Chang'an and fight streets after it attacked Chang'an.
Three hundred miles in Guanzhong should be the enemy's forbidden area.
Moreover, for most Guanzhong people, whether from a political perspective or from an economic perspective, controlling the enemy to the outside line is a very important thing.
Therefore, Fei Qian chose a place not in Guanzhong, nor could it be in Guanzhong.
Unless Fei Qian becomes the guy in history who only knows how to keep things true to him, and is wailing in the imperial city and waiting to die, Fei Qian still prefers to use a flexible way to deal with the current problems.
Needless to say, a king who can only wait for the princes to come to rescue behind the beacon tower in the palace, and another king who can control the troops and horses to defend the enemy outside Kyoto, which one the people would like, so even if Fei Zhen plucked her fingers for many times and said in the letters, why didn’t her father come back yet, Fei Qian would not return before the war ended.
Because that means his failure and the failure of the entire great man's strategy of going out.
Fei Qian is in Hedong, like a knife hanging from Cao Cao's neck.
Or it is like a guillotine hanging above Cao Cao's outstretched hand.
Zhang Xiu of Yinshan had already led his troops to Hedong. Some of the troops were in the camp in the north, and the other part was stationed in the Baihe Valley, which was only 10 to 20 miles away from Pingyang. Huang Cheng's troops were also close to the north, and in addition to the original troops in Hedong, there were a total of 20,000 soldiers.
As for the general, from cold weapons to heat weapons, the role of brave generals is gradually decreasing, and the power of intelligent generals is quietly increasing.
Those generals who can charge into battle may be very important ten years ago, because at that time, a good general could decide the victory or defeat of a battle. After all, most opponents are thieves who have not received any training, scattered bravery, or local defenders who have not trained once or twice a year, and temporarily recruited recruited corps. The battle between the two sides is often mainly based on pig thunder. The main general of one side is killed, which means the end of the battle.
But there are gradually changes now...
First of all, the quality of the soldiers was that as the war lengthened, the ignorant and reckless new soldiers died, and the remaining were cunning and vicious old soldiers, and the equipment was also improved. Before, the soldiers had no armor, and the general could lose one in one stroke. However, now the soldiers' blood bars are long, and sometimes MISS will appear after one stroke, which makes it increasingly difficult for generals who rely solely on force to conduct physical attacks.
Secondly, the emergence of various war instruments, especially gunpowder, has once again set the importance of the generals who charge into battle. If they are targeted by a powerful crossbow or blown up by a grenade, will the entire army be defeated and will it be a loss?
Fei Qian is now accustomed to the fact that he has hidden some means of countering the opponent's charge in the middle of the central army. So for the suspicious Cao Cao, he would be foolish and sweet to check in the room... Well, when the war started, he was not prepared for anything?
"Where you can lead Liangdao to garrison, repair fortifications, clean up the battlefield, and defend against attacks from the north without having to divide your troops to pursue Cao's army."
Fei Qian looked at the sand table and ordered.
After defeating Le Jin, Jia Qu from Shangdang sent 800 miles to report the battle to Fei Qian.
Although he defeated Le Jin, Zhang Ji was seriously injured and could not control the troops to pursue Le Jin.
And the weather is still cold in the beginning of spring, so Fei Qian agreed with Jia Qu's opinion and did not pursue Lejin's defeated army, but instead shifted Shangdang's subsequent focus to repairing passes, rectifying the place, and rebuilding production. At the same time, he maintained a certain degree of vigilance against Taiyuan, dispatched personnel to block the main roads and resist the invasion of the partial army in the north.
As for Taiyuan...
Xiahou Dun in Taiyuan seemed to have noticed something and began to shrink his troops.
"Zhongda," Fei secretly knocked on the edge of the sand table and said to Sima Yi, "What do you think Xiahou Yuanrang wants? Whether to fight, defend, or escape?"
At first, Xiahou Dun might think that the Shandong style could still be used in the northeast of Hebei. After the county was established, the surrounding counties changed color. But in fact, it was like the transformation of cold weapons into heaters. The military system and political structure, the northern Guanzhong gradually became different from the Shandong area. The rules commonly used in Jizhou and Qingzhou are not applicable in Taiyuan at all.
Therefore, Xiahou Dun either shrinks his troops, either to retract his fists and then concentrate on his attacks, or to hold on, and may be preparing to retreat.
All these three situations are possible, and Fei Qian is a little difficult to judge for a while.
Sima Yi stood beside Fei Qian, wearing a linen robe, without any decorations, but it seemed like he had returned to his true self. After hearing Fei Qian's question, Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said, "If you fight or defend, you may not be willing to escape."
Removed an error option.
"What do you say?" Fei Qian asked.
"Xiahou Yuanrang is loyal to Cao Mengde, and is definitely not a person who can easily abandon him. Although he is now at risk of being alone..." Sima Yi said in a deep voice, "However, he has not lost his fighting spirit yet... Therefore, he must fight. If he cannot fight, he will defend him. I heard that in the city of Jinyang, Taiyuan, he has a lot of savings and reserves..."
Xun Chen on the other side nodded and said, "That's true. Before Cui asked for help, but I refused it. Because the city reserves can be used by the army for years, why should we transfer money, grain, and soldiers? It's a pity that Cui's name is not true... Now it is really hateful to support the enemy. I think that Cui's family now surrenders to the enemy and knows that if they come to the lord's hands again, they will definitely not be able to end up well. They will serve Cao's family to seek a chance to survive. Therefore, the northern part of Cui must tell Xiahou all the time... This matter must be guarded against."
Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen and nodded.
It is normal and understandable for people to survive. But the problem is that as long as people live in the social structure, they cannot act based solely on desire. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and animals? Cui is understandable, but fear of death is not a reason to give up resistance. Otherwise, who in the world is not afraid of death?
Moreover, when Jinyang had been reserved for so long, he was beaten down by Xiahou Dun with a random punch, and he didn't even resist a little, which was completely unreasonable.
But are there few such people in history?
On weekdays, high officials and generous salaries are justified, and keep silent is conscience. Then what?
Therefore, for Xiahou Dun, the best choice now is to take advantage of Jinyang's abundant reserves and take another big move...
If it can succeed again, it will be equivalent to opening up the Caojun North Road Pass. If it is not successful, it can also rely on Jinyang's reserves to restrain Fei Qian's troops as much as possible.
Fei Qian looked at the sand table and calculated the possible route of Xiahou Dun's attack.
In fact, Fei Qian also hoped that Xiahou Dun could attack.
Because for Fei Qian, who has the advantage of cavalry, it is obviously easier to solve opponents outside the city than to siege the city.
If Xiahou Dun really curled up in Jinyang City and refused to leave, then he could only wait for the artillery to be transported back.
Casting artillery is not easy. It not only consumes a lot of metal, but also because metallurgical technology is not yet mature, a high yield rate cannot be guaranteed during the casting process. Sometimes, defects are found at halfway through casting, and rework is required, which makes the casting construction period relatively long.
In addition, the economic growth of the region controlled by Feiqian and the increase in transactions between Hu people in the Northern Region have caused Feiqian to have some money shortage. If it were not for the establishment of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce in the early stage and replaced some of the coins with goods, it would have been said that there would have been insufficient coins now.
Therefore, for Fei Qian, the current war is actually not limited to swords and guns, but even extends to the economic level...
However, not many people understand the matter at this level.
Even Xun Chen and Sima Yi may have a little understanding of it...
But it's just a little bit.
As for the others, Pang Tong understood half of it, and then the one who knew more was Zhen Mi.
Fei Qian tapped his finger twice on the edge of the sand table.
"Have Wei Wenchang contacted me?" Fei turned his head and asked Xun Chen.
Xun Chen replied: "No faith has been made yet."
Fei Qian frowned, where did this Wei Wenchang go?
Could you really want to make a second place in the Wugu Valley?
