Sima Yi felt regretful that he might have lost the opportunity to attack the Zhongtiao Mountain camp again.
Once the Anyi camp is defeated, Cao Jun's Zhongtiaoshan camp must be facing a formidable enemy.
"My lord said that he was temporarily delaying the pursuit of Cao's defeated troops in order to calm the enemy's mind. When we reach the Zhongtiao Mountains, we should fight when we see the opportunity, and we should not fight head-on." Li Li said, "See the opportunity..." My lord warned me like this, is it possible?
Didn’t you say you would sneak attack on the Zhongtiao Mountain camp if you got the chance?』
"My lord, did you really say that?" Sima Yi asked.
Li Li nodded.
"Hmm..." Sima Yi thought about it for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "I understand, this is a strategy to exhaust the troops..."
"A plan to tire out the troops?" Li Li asked, "This... could you please give me some advice, sir, Dali?"
"Oh, you don't have to be so polite," Sima Yi waved his hand, "I'm just crazy about how old I am. Brother Li Xian, you might as well call me by a certain name."
Li Li didn't show too much pretense, he just raised his hand and called him "Brother Zhongda".
Sima Yi laughed loudly, nodded and said: "Cao's soldiers dispersed in large numbers. They were eager when they were pressed, but they became strong when they gathered together. They were slow to make plans. This is because they all have their own thoughts and are inconsistent. They first confused their minds and then exhausted their strength.
, you can take it easily."
Sima Yi came from Hanoi and had a relatively good understanding of the situation in Shandong.
The big man is already very rigid.
This kind of "rigidity" is not just in the political and ecological court, but has penetrated into all aspects of the Han Dynasty.
Naturally, this also includes ideological "rigidity".
If Fei Qian moves too much, it will naturally stimulate these "rigid" thinking people, making them feel threatened and react in a certain way. If he moves slower, it means just rubbing outside...
"By the way, brother Li Xian, after breaking the Anyi camp, did you find that the number of Cao's soldiers was too low?" Sima Yi suddenly asked.
Li Li nodded, "That's right. When I first saw the Anyi camp, I thought it must have 100,000 people. But after the battle, I discovered that it was actually an empty shell, with only 30,000 to 40,000 people inside."
people."
Sima Yi smiled slightly, "That's right. Thief Cao, you still want to take this opportunity to win the hearts of Shandong people!"
"Winning the hearts of Shandong people?" Li Li asked, "Could it be said that... the Cao thieves deliberately abandoned this Anyi camp? Isn't the price too high?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "If you give up, you will gain."
Li Li fell silent. He was familiar with military matters, but his understanding of politics was still relatively weak. It was difficult for him to understand that so many soldiers, equipment, materials and money were sacrificed just to win over people's hearts. How to win over people?
? He couldn't understand, but soon Li Li stopped thinking about it and focused on the things in front of him.
"So, doesn't it mean we can't go to the Zhongtiao Mountain camp?" Li Li asked.
Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Didn't my lord have something to say? We must fight when opportunities arise! We must first look for opportunities!"
"Looking for opportunities?" Li Li asked.
Sima Yi nodded, "First, let Cao Jun move..."
…
…
After retreating from Anyi, Cao Jun strengthened its reconnaissance near the Zhongtiao Mountain camp. However, because Cao Jun's cavalry suffered too many losses, the remaining cavalry was reluctant to use them, so they could only use infantry to top up the attack.
Be a scout.
However, as infantry scouts, their range of activities is obviously greatly reduced, and they cannot leave the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp too far. Therefore, even if Li Li and Sima Yi arrived near the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, these Cao soldiers were still not able to discover them immediately.
Traces of the two.
Although Cao Cao emphasized that the hussars might arrive sooner than they imagined, in fact most of Cao's soldiers and military academy generals believed that the arrival of the hussars would take some time. After all, Cao Hong returned safe and sound, at least
This shows that the hussars are not so eager to pursue them.
The disconnect between superiors and subordinates was once again reflected in Cao Jun.
The upper management knows some things, but they don't explain it clearly to the people below and just insist on execution.
The people below also have some confusion, but they will not raise it with the people above, because they found that when they raised questions before, they ended up not solving the problem, but solving the person who asked the question.
"Do you understand?"
the person above asked.
"clear."
The people below are unambiguous.
"Is it clear or unclear?"
Don’t worry about the above, please confirm again.
"clear."
The one below pats the chest.
"..."
After the people above left, the people below gathered together and muttered, "What did you just say?"
"What else can you say? Strengthen the vigilance and send more scouts! Reports must be made every hour!"
"Every hour? Are you going to let anyone live?"
"Whatever, it needs to be reported... I didn't say that we really need to send people... dig more holes outside, station them, and light a fire if necessary... Let's just take a look here and talk about everything."
An hour, that is, every half an hour is no problem! Are you really prepared to run again and again? You will be exhausted!"
"You still have a way!"
"Whatever you can do, just mess around. It's only a day that you can mess around..."
…
…
In the early morning, a hint of fish belly white just appeared in the east.
The ravines of the Loess Plateau are looming in the light mist.
The soldiers of Cao's army who were on duty at the fixed observation post woke up from their sleep, crawled out of the hole where they were hiding with stiff hands and feet, stretched out in the morning light, and looked back sleepily.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, "The Hussars... they are coming! They are coming!"
The next moment, he thought of setting a fire as a warning, so he quickly ran toward the beacon fire beside him like a dog. Just as he was about to light a fire, he found that he had not taken the sickle and tinder, and was still in the hiding hole. He crawled in again like a dog.
After digging around in the cave, he revealed his head at the entrance of the cave. He saw several hussars had already arrived at the entrance of the cave and were looking at him with their heads tilted.
He was stunned for a while, and then like a groundhog, he howled in terror at the entrance of the cave...
…
…
Anyi.
The main tent of the hussar army.
Today, surrendered generals and captured generals gather together.
Bao Zhong was a little embarrassed, but he soon put all the embarrassment behind him. Fortunately, his child was not trampled to death in the chaos of the battle, but waited for the treatment of the hussar military doctor. It must be said that
He was really lucky, and at the same time, Bao Zhong was convinced that he was right to defect to the Hussars. Now he wanted to wag his tail like a hot wheel, if he had a tail.
Bao Zhong is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
Xiahou Dun, Cao Zhao, and some non-commissioned officers of Cao Jun's military academy.
Fei Qian, who was sitting upright, looked around, laughed, and raised the wine cup, "In the past, the banners in front of Luoyang Gate were decorated with carved beams and admiring young people. Now we drink wine on the battlefield together, what kind of grudges and hatreds should we have? All of you here,
They are all Chinese clothes, each with his or her own splendor, and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Victory or defeat is just a matter of brothers fighting against each other, so we might as well settle our hearts with a bottle of wine! Winner!"
As soon as Fei Qian said these words, everyone above and below were moved.
Xiahou Dun originally had a sullen face, as if everyone here owed him tens of millions of money, but after hearing Fei Qian's words, he couldn't help but twitch his face. After a moment, he sighed and raised the wine baron.
Follow Fei Qian and drink it all in one gulp.
Xiahou Dun was like this, and the other non-commissioned officers of Cao Jun's military academy looked at each other and drank together.
It's rare for drinking to be as fresh and refined as Fei Qian said.
Especially in the current situation, the two sides are still in a state of hostility, but with Fei Qian's words "brothers are fighting against each other", the hatred between them has been downplayed, and the confrontation in Guanzhong and Shandong has turned into a brotherly fight within the Han Dynasty.
Invisibly, these Cao's defeated and surrendered troops felt much better...
After three drinks, Fei Qian stood up and invited Xiahou Dun to come with him.
Xiahou Dun looked at the captured generals, sighed slightly, got up and left with Fei Qian.
As soon as Fei Qian and Xiahou Dun left, everyone was completely relaxed. Whether they were feeling proud or drinking to drown their sorrows, these drinks may be the best way to anesthetize themselves and relax their minds at the moment.
Bao Zhong looked at the prisoners and smiled more or less, just like the smile that an old employee who joined the job a day earlier would give to a new employee. But there was no need for him to jump out and provoke hatred. He was just eating and drinking on his own.
, chatting and laughing with him from time to time. After unloading the burden from his heart, he felt relaxed all over. He suddenly felt that the sky was higher, the earth was wider, and a good life was right in front of him.
He seemed to be much more casual than ever, and he no longer looked at people with his head down, but looked at each other calmly.
In comparison, Cao Zhao, who also took the initiative to "surrender", was somewhat dull, as if he was not satisfied with the food.
As for Xiahou Dun, who followed Fei Qian, his heart was filled with complicated emotions.
hills.
Thatched mat.
wooden table.
Thin wine.
The bright moon hangs high.
The breeze blows on my face.
All the hustle and bustle during the day seems to have fallen silent at night, except for the human heart, which is constantly beating and greedy.
"Brother Yuan Rang, please sit down."
Fei Qian gestured.
Xiahou Dun frowned, but didn't say anything and sat down. His original personality was not that of a violent type. He always had a rough and hoarse voice in the game. Most of them were based on Mr. Luo's description, and for
As for the real Xiahou Dun, he preferred Confucian generals rather than fierce generals.
"The world is so big, why did China originate here?"
Fei Qian looked at the world and said slowly.
Xiahou Dun was stunned. He didn't expect Fei Qian to say this at all. He looked at the drinks on the table, then at Fei Qian, and decided not to drink more tonight, so as not to fall into Fei Qian's trap.
However, Xiahou Dun was also somewhat interested in the questions raised by Fei Qian.
In fact, not only Xiahou Dun was interested in this issue, but many people in later generations were also interested. China originated from Yan and Huang, but there have always been five provinces competing with each other as to where Yan and Huang originated.
"Yanhuang naturally originated from the Central Plains!" Xiahou Dun said categorically, "Three battles at Banquan won the Emperor Yan's ambition, and another battle at the Wilderness of Zhuolu established the world! This is recorded in historical records. Could it be that Hussar thought it was false?"
"Haha," Fei Qian smiled and pointed to the ground at his feet, "I mean, China started here... not here, not Guanzhong, not Shandong, but here... why did it originate from here?"
The history of Yanhuang is so far away that it is difficult for Chinese people to find the exact historical traces of Yanhuang. But what is certain is that Yanhuang are two tribes that originated from the Yellow River, just like Chiyou and other tribes.
, all reproduced around the Yellow River Basin in a similar period of time.
If you are a monkey, you may not be able to leave a forest in your life.
A group of monkeys has the possibility to go to other forests.
When tribes evolve and multiply to a certain number, fights will inevitably occur.
"This..." Xiahou Dun didn't expect that the scope of Fei Qian's "here" was so large, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. However, Xiahou Dun was unwilling to fall behind with his first sentence, that is
Yi Yan counterattacked: "If that's the case, why do you think Hua Xia is the source?"
Fei Qian raised two fingers, "There are only two sources of China."
"Yanhuang?" Xiahou Dun said.
Fei Qian shook his head, "No. Yanhuang is the surface, and "combining" is the reality. Those who contend, heaven and earth compete, humans and beasts compete. If you don't fight, you can't live. Those who merge, accept hundreds of rivers and make rivers and seas, and learn from others to make China.
.』
Xiahou Dun also smiled and said, "So Qiaoqi wants to accept Shandong?"
Fei Qian shook his head, "It's not that someone wants to accept Shandong, but that Shandong wants to return to China?"
"Hahahahaha," Xiahou Dun laughed, "Xiaoqi said this, but are you asking on behalf of the emperor?"
Fei Qian also smiled, "May I ask if there was an emperor at the beginning of the Yanhuang period?"
'You!'
Extremely, I didn’t expect it...haha...』
Fei Qian smiled and was not angry at Xiahou Dun's sarcasm.
For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has flourished, and its roots are due to a few people? For example, the two emperors of Yan and Huang? Or Yao, Shun, and Yu? Obviously not. Although the early Chinese dynasties were born here in the Yuncheng Basin, the most important of them
It is not a certain emperor or a certain emperor, but over the past thousands of years, the Chinese nation has been able to continuously absorb excellent and practical foreign culture for its own use while adhering to its own culture, and finally formed a
A strong and unified dynasty.
Chinese totems also illustrate this point.
The reason why the Han Dynasty was strong did not mean that Liu Bang's skills in governing the country were so strong that the world was peaceful and smooth with a wave of his hand, but because during the hundreds of years of strife in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Chinese nation no longer wanted to continue the war.
The reason why the Han Dynasty is declining now is because in the past three to four hundred years, the completely rigid political system and bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty have fallen far behind the needs of the Chinese nation and the overall people.
To put it simply, the current cultural and political system of the Han Dynasty could no longer keep up with the needs of the people. However, the emperors and officials in the Han Dynasty still did not want to make adjustments and changes, but only wanted to pass down the classics to their families for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed.
Why did the Sui and Tang Dynasties usher in a revival in history? That was because the Five Husties disrupted the cultural and political systems that had gradually become rigid since the Han Dynasty, and even changed some of the characters of the Han people.
And the most critical point is the difference between active and passive.
First of all, it was the Wuhu, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jiedi and Qiang who were disrupting China at that time. When the Han people in the northern land lost their effective large-scale organizational capabilities, the Wuhu were busy conquering the local Han people and conquering each other.
As a result, these ethnic minority regimes did not have time to completely conquer the Han people in the early stages of the struggle, and in the middle and later stages of the struggle, faced with the reduction of their own ethnic populations due to war losses, they had to compromise with the Han people, rely on the strength of the Han people, and finally "integrate".
This kind of "fusion" in the mouths of some people is undoubtedly full of blood and tears, and it is far from being as simple as the people say. If you are not careful, you will fall into the pattern of the braided dynasty. Of course
, these experts and professors said this deliberately, more or less, with the intention of praising the braided dynasty.
Officially, because of the "integration" precedent of the "Five Huanhua", there seems to be nothing wrong with some noble families in later feudal dynasties as long as they are willing to "integrate" with foreign races. After all, it is a world village...
Many people in later generations advocated braids, but in fact the total population of braids was not small in the later period, but their combat effectiveness and mental outlook were at the bottom? Because the route taken by braids not only did not try to integrate with Chinese culture,
Even if they spare no effort to suppress, divide, and enslave, this is true both in terms of mental outlook and combat effectiveness.
The Daxing Literary Prison, sea ban, unprecedentedly strict household registration system, and the promotion of stereotyped writing to recruit scholars were all aimed at punishing the Han people to death. This kind of political thought made the entire country infinitely rigid and lose its vitality. At that time, European culture had been spread to China. You
Can you imagine Kang Mazi being able to solve linear equations in two variables? There are countless Western items in the royal collection in the Forbidden City, including clocks, telescopes, world maps, various thermal weapons, new guns...
The approach of Peter the Great, who was at the same time as Kangxi, was completely opposite. From then on, the two empires also moved in two directions.
Braid Chao was undoubtedly a success.
They spent three hundred years turning the Chinese nation, which was originally brave enough to explore and open up, into an ignorant, arrogant, deceitful, weak, courageous, private and timid public war, with no innovative spirit, no adventurous spirit, and a conservative
The stupid person turned into the best obedient citizen in the ruler's heart, and became a slave who can automatically and voluntarily understand the difficulties of the upper class.
At the same time, Braid Chao also failed.
No matter how hard they try to suppress, deceive, conceal, and deceive, there are always some people who, in pain, open their eyes and look at the world...
So Fei Qian thought, why can't there be more people who see the world earlier?
Shandong is an obstacle now, but it may also be a help in the future.
Fei Qian looked at Xiahou Dun with a gentle expression, as if he were looking at an experimental field or a white mouse, which made Xiahou Dun instinctively feel a little chilly.
"The word emperor is used really wonderfully." Fei Qian said with a smile, "I heard that in Shandong, ethics are the most important thing. So let's ask, does it mean that the father comes first and then the son, or that the son can override the father?
Above? The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, which is more important, the heaven and the earth, or the Son of Heaven? Brother Yuan Rang, I wonder if you can clear up a certain confusion?"
