The reason why Jia Qu was surprised was that this number did not match Feiqian's soldiers now. It was obviously much more. For one soldier, based on the full lunar eclipse of 1.8 shi, 300,000 shi of food could supply a soldier.
Thousands of soldiers were fed for a year!
And now Fei Qian has only a few soldiers. Even if the new recruits are taken into account, the total number of soldiers is only more than 2,000...
Food is not something that will not rot for a hundred years, let alone a year. If it is not stored properly, it will become rotten in a month.
"Fei Shijun, how many more troops do you want to increase?" Jia Qu asked.
Fei Qian raised four fingers and said: "Three thousand main soldiers and one thousand auxiliary soldiers."
A general who doesn't know how to hoard his own troops is definitely not a good general, but a general who doesn't know how to restrain himself and blindly increases his troops will definitely become a mess in the end.
Fei Qian does not plan to expand his troops in a large amount. On the one hand, it shows that Fei Qian is not planning to follow the model like the Yellow Turban Thieves, but is preparing to focus on elite soldiers. However, it also shows another aspect. This batch of food Fei Qian is obviously
There are other uses...
Jia Qu lowered his head and stared at the mat under his nose. Although he still had questions about the issue of food and grass, he did not intend to ask further. Because from the situation just now, Fei Qian obviously already had an idea about the food and grass.
Regarding cognition and arrangement, if he inquires deeply, one is that Fei Qian may not be willing to explain, and the other two also appear that he does not know how to advance or retreat.
So we can only make assumptions based on the current situation...
The gentry and the gentry were infighting and trying to undermine each other, even handing knives overtly and shooting cold arrows secretly. This situation basically happened every day. There were not a few people who were calling each other brothers one day and killing each other's entire family the next.
Therefore, the Hedong Wei family and Fei Qian seemed to have conflicts with each other, starting a dispute. For Jia Qu, it was not a particularly incredible thing. The problem was that there seemed to be no need for Fei Qian to insist on fighting with Hedong Wei family.
The reason why he came hard.
Fei Qian is the governor of Shang County, and Anyi is the seat of Hedong County Governor. Therefore, Fei Qian cannot stay in Anyi for a long time no matter what. He has to go to the territory of Shang County, so why stay here?
Moreover, the Hedong Wei clan also behaved slightly unreasonably. After all, the Hedong Wei clan was not the Shangjun Wei clan. Speaking of it, there was no possibility of administrative conflicts. Even if Fei Qian caused trouble in Shangjun and made the people miserable, it would be fine.
Even if they were fighting against the Xiongnu, they would not have much impact on the Wei clan in Hedong, so why target Fei Qian so much?
As for the apparent matter between the Wei family and the Cai family in Hedong, well, if it counts, it is a matter between the Wei family and the Cai family. What does it have to do with Fei Qian?
It was as strange as two passers-by walking on the road, suddenly drawing swords at each other, and the reason turned out to be that the other party dared to wear the same gray cloth clothes as himself...
While Jia Qu was thinking silently, Fei Qian was also tapping his fingers gently on the desk, just like tapping the mouse and keyboard on the desks of later generations.
Feiqian waited for Jia Qu to give him an answer. This was also a rule and a ritual.
There is only one answer, and the content of the answer is not that important.
It has not rained for many days in the past few days. The weather is very dry. Some of the yellow mud on the ground outside the tent has dried and cracked, exposing large and small gaps.
Some trampled soil, when blown by the wind, will rise up like a burst of smoke, scattering the entire camp with yellow dust, and will also fall on the faces and bodies of the soldiers who are training.
Huang Cheng and his group of veterans were training the new guys very strictly. Several team leaders and village commanders, carrying military sticks with one black end and red end, were constantly patrolling, and they would see if they did anything wrong.
When the recruits are in place, just hit them with a stick, and the places where they are hit are rough and fleshy places, which will make these recruits miserable, but will not hurt their muscles and bones.
Beside the camp gate, there are five pillars standing. On one of the pillars, a new soldier's thorn has been tied to it, and a flogging is being carried out. The whip dipped in salt water hits the flesh, and it emerges almost instantly.
There were thick blood marks all over, and the skin was torn apart. Although the executed recruit had a thin crossbar tied in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue under the severe pain, the screams that were muffled between the chest and abdomen made people feel uncomfortable.
Every recruit was terrified and silent.
New recruits have to pass this test before entering the camp. It's not that Huang Cheng and others are cruel, but everyone including Fei Qian knows that if we don't set rules for recruits now, there will be no rules in the future. The kindness we show to recruits now is actually a sign of kindness to recruits.
own cruelty.
Do we still expect these new soldiers to have the country at heart, risk their lives, and be like tigers descending from the mountain without training? No matter what the opponent is, they can pounce on them and fight until the last moment as long as they have a breath of air?
Haha, nonsense.
Jia Qu raised his head and said: "The Wei family has three volumes of fragments of "Gui Zang", which are important treasures of the Wei family and are never shown to others easily. Tomorrow the Wei family will open the library. I wonder if anyone will ask to copy these three volumes...
"
The more widespread version of the "Book of Changes" is the Zhou Yi, but before the Zhou Yi, there were also "Lianshan" and "Gui Zang", but they were also on the verge of being lost during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Up to now, the Wei family actually has three volumes of "Gui Zang" in its collection.
The fragments of the book are simply priceless treasures for those who study the Book of Changes.
Although Jia Qu seemed to be just chatting and didn't say anything specific, he did give Fei Qian a just-right idea. This knife really hit Wei's vital point.
The Wei family opened the library just to suppress Fei Qian, so it must not have been fully prepared. Some detailed rules and the like must not have been formulated, let alone made public. So if someone asks to borrow these three volumes tomorrow,
So should the Wei family borrow it or not?
Borrowing means that family education has been passed down from generation to generation, and generations of people have worked hard to make wedding clothes for others...
If you don’t borrow it, then the Wei family will attract people, and if they don’t allow this or that, then it’s hard to escape the comment of greed for fame...
"There is a family," Jia Qu continued, as if he was just chatting. "Ten miles east of the city, there is a small mountain, and there is a horse family at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if Fei Shijun has heard of it?"
"Ma family?" Fei Qian frowned. His impression was that the Ma family in the north belonged to Fufeng. Why was there a family named Ma here?
Jia Qu nodded and said: "This Ma family actually has the surname of overseas Chinese. They originally lived in Shangjun. It is said that their ancestors were also descendants of poetry and calligraphy. They once wrote the Han Dynasty, served as the prefect, the general of Zhonglang, the general of Liao Dynasty, and later
He broke up his family due to being involved in court disputes, and after being tossed around, he settled in Shangjun and took root, but he never thought that in the first year of Zhongping..."
"Then the Ma family moved here and started farming in the east of the city... If Fei Shijun wants to take over the county, the Ma family may be able to help..."
Wei Yan was startled at first, and then sad again. Tears rolled down his eyes, and it was really painful that his heart was broken.
But Jiang Wei had already collapsed on the prime minister's body, just crying and not paying attention to his surroundings.
For a time, the only thing heard on the Wuzhang Plain was the cry of unicorns crying blood, and the sleeping dragons were dying. How desolate!
"Confused! The prime minister has already gone. He is an innocent person. Instead of changing clothes and makeup with him, why don't you teach him to wear Taoist robes to meet the late emperor underground?
