Chapter 3468 Everyone's ambitions
The question that Lu Chang could not understand was actually clear about Fei's potential.
This is the problem in Shandong, or the institutional product brought about by Confucianism and the Han Dynasty's policy of ignoring the people.
To fool the people, the first thing is to make the people "be polite and obey themselves".
To be simple, just don’t make trouble!
Why should we punish or not be supported? It is to let the people of Shandong know that they don’t care about “nothing business”!
Whoever cares about "nothing business" will be in trouble!
So, when others are bullied, most people in Shandong are used to it, watching, and then talking at most...
Seeing natural disasters and man-made disasters, the refugees knelt down by the road, "Okay, give me some food..."
Many people from Shandong walked over with their noses, "Ah, it's so pitiful..."
"Don't worry about them, be careful to cheat you!"
The shopkeepers would come out with sticks and shout loudly, asking those refugees to get away and not occupy the passage where customers come in. "Don't die even if you die, don't die at the door of my store!"
The brothel in the city's brothel, Turtle, goes around the pile of refugees every day like patrolling the crops in the fields, looking for some "good seedlings", "I'm all for their own good, otherwise I won't be able to survive... I'm so pitiful... How handsome is this...
When people who can still survive in the city when they see the scene of selling children and selling girls, they can at most shake their heads and sigh and commit crimes. Then that's it. Perhaps they can feel a little happy in their hearts. When they are asked by officials whether they are happy or not, they can still say that at least they have not sold their children, right?
If you are obedient, you will naturally be able to manage it.
When this habit becomes a tradition, naturally, when someone is in the line, he will punch those who are unwilling to give in.
As long as the fist doesn't hit your face and nose, it's okay.
What is the country of etiquette? If you give in, endure and endure, it will pass.
It is precisely because of this idea that people in Shandong cannot "get together".
Only then did Cao Cao dare to blatantly "reduce troops and lay off employees"!
The economy is in a downturn, and Dahan Cao's Comprehensive Co., Ltd. has no effect. Is there any problem with layoffs and increasing efficiency? Will the workers and management who have been laid off hold their fists and shout labor laws? Will they look for street lights and ropes?
Oh, I forgot that the big man has no labor laws. Even if he gets into a yamen, he will probably punish the employee for paying a fine.
Lu Chang originally thought that he belonged to the core department and was not laid off, so when he saw others being laid off, he just sighed, "Oh, it's so pitiful, and then turned around and was laid off on his head. Only then did he realize that in the entire Cao company, he was never considered a core level."
As for those small shareholders in Shandong...
Do you really think that if you buy some stocks, you can become a shareholder?
Can you point fingers at the business strategies of listed companies and make a lot of noise?
When a major shareholder cashes out, will he inform the minor shareholder?
When Fei Qian met Lu Chang, he heard the "drunk talk" he said after drinking a whole bag of horse milk wine. It was basically similar to the listed company, the layoffs of the Fortune 500 employees, and the intrigue among the middle and senior executives within the company...
As for Lu Chang, he was just drunk, so he just said drunken words. In this way, he neither surrendered to Fei Qian nor had his life danger, nor was he selling friends for honor, nor was he betrayed.
As for whether a bag of horse milk wine will be intoxicating...
If not, just two bags!
Anyway, it's just a glass of macadamia wine, which is not a problem.
The real question is whether Fei Qian should believe what Lu Chang said and the arrangement of the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp revealed by Lu Chang. Lu Chang could say that he knew nothing and knew nothing after he was drunk, but Fei Qian could not know nothing and was not clear.
If you believe it, you have to give Lu Chang the corresponding treatment. If you don’t believe it, you will ask someone to cut off Lu Chang’s head.
However, Fei Qian didn't need to make a decision immediately for this matter. After all, he could also compare the information provided by Lu Chang with the situation mastered by Xu Chu and others before making a decision.
Or, can you let Lu Chang continue to get drunk twice?
For Lu Chang, this kind of thing is difficult to understand. He could not understand at all. Why did the company collapse if it said it was collapsed? There were hundreds of thousands of employees, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of assets. Yesterday, he was still calling everyone to work hard and make a fortune together. Why didn’t hello even today and he broke up if it was broken up?
Fei Qian is not unfamiliar with this kind of corporate operation model, but he also has to be careful of this move.
Hedong to the north and Tongguan to the south are the main battlefields on the surface.
But in fact, the main battlefield has always been Guanzhong and Shandong, new and old, and thoughts and systems.
Moreover, this battlefield in thought and system is even more critical.
Although it is understandable, Fei Qian still has some things that he doesn’t understand about Cao Cao’s arrangement.
Because the Han Dynasty did not look like it was later generations after all.
The credibility system of the Dahan is still very important.
Unlike in later generations, even if you are called a deadbeat, you can still live a free and easy life. As for what tickets to buy for travel restriction, it is a measure to fool ordinary people. After all, only ordinary people need to rely on public transportation to travel, and they feel that such a thing is a very heavy punishment.
The big man did not take any measures against the deadbeat, but for those who lost their credit, the collapse was also very fast...
For example, Yuan Shu.
Back then, Yuan Shu was the father of all the princes in the world. Even the little overlord in Jiangdong had to bow his head and call him "Dad with rice".
But when Yuan Shu's credit collapsed, this father with food died miserably.
It is impossible for Cao Cao to know this, so what's the basis for him to do this now?
Unless it is...
Fei Qian had a vague guess, but not very sure.
This is the disadvantage of not being around the strategist. Sometimes, no one can discuss some macro-strategic issues.
『Lord!』
Xu Chu came back, and he bowed and said, "I went to ask some prisoners. There were indeed some craftsmen in the thief camp..."
Fei Qian reached out to signal, "Sit down and talk carefully."
When Xu Chu went to patrol the camp, he not only inspected the wounded camp, but also focused on asking many prisoners and surrendered Cao's soldiers, and came up with a result that reflected what Lu Chang said.
"The bandit army transported a lot of gunpowder from Shandong, and buried it on Zhongtiao Mountain..." Xu Chu said, feeling a little cold in his heart, "However, in the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, this Lu family, although the name of the chief general, was Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, and later Dong Gongren..."
This is similar to what Lu Chang said in his "confession".
The gunpowder in Shandong is obviously much different, but with a large number, it will be very troublesome.
"Can you know where these gunpowder are buried?" Fei Qian asked.
Xu Chu shook his head and said, "I asked many soldiers, who were limited to a certain camp and could not move around each other... and the craftsmen belonged to the logistics camp management and did not belong to the military camp..."
Fei Qian nodded.
That's it...
Shandong's class is very strict, but it's not just a lip service.
The military camp also has clear hierarchy, and there is no communication between the upper and lower levels. Everything is obedient. Unless someone who is interested in inquiring specifically, you may not know what others are doing.
Now, due to the problems in the previous stage, it is difficult for Fei Qian and Xu Chu to obtain any additional information sources as if they were in Anyi.
Fei Qian turned around and looked carefully at the Cao army's defense provided by Lu Chang, pondered for a moment and said, "If Zhongkang had obtained the Zhongtiaoshan defense, what would you do?"
Xu Chu said without hesitation: "If this picture is true, it will naturally be a real attack on the virtual!"
Fei Qian nodded, "This is the principle of military strategists."
Xu Chu looked at Fei Qian's expression and said, "Does the lord still have any worries? This picture...is fake?"
Fei Qian's hand drew a line on the defense map, "Look at Zhongkang. From here to here..."
Xu Chu looked at it and nodded, "I think so too. I am so careful here, so I can take advantage of the opportunity to enter!"
Fei Qian thought about it again, "What if gunpowder is buried here?"
"This..." Xu Chu could not confirm either.
Fei Qian put down the defense map, walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The night is dark, so naturally nothing can be seen.
Fei Qian felt that Cao Cao had given up on this war and was about to turn back and deal with the guys who were dragging him down in Shandong, but now he suddenly felt that Cao Cao might still have a last glimmer of hope...
Fei Qian looked at the stars in the sky.
The world is like a chessboard, and he and Cao Cao seem to be playing chess in the air between the heaven and earth.
...
...
On the other side, Cao Cao was having a meal.
The time for late sauerkraut had long passed, but Cao Cao was busy all the time and had no time to eat. Finally, he had time and the food was cold.
The guard wanted to use it to heat it up, but Cao Cao smiled and said no.
The food on the battlefield is naturally not as delicate as it is at home. In addition, the taste will become second-hand after it is cooled. What is important is that the rice will become harder...
But Cao Cao still ate in big mouthfuls, and didn't even chew a few times, so he swallowed them whole.
It seems that Cao Cao eats sweetly, but in fact it is because Cao Cao's teeth are no longer good.
Even if the children of the gentry have the habit of rinsing their mouths and brushing their teeth with green salt and willow branches, in military life, there are often times when they may not have such free time. Sometimes they don’t have time to eat, and they still have time to brush their teeth after finishing their meals?
Therefore, it is common for tooth decay, gum recession, and loose roots.
If humans are really made by God or Nuwa, then the maker must be like the capitalists in later generations, who only seek no problems during the warranty period. It is best to have problems on the day after the warranty period, so that they can earn maintenance costs on the one hand and promote re-consumption on the other hand.
The same is true for human bodies. Many things are easily damaged outside the warranty period, and the key is that there are no parts to replace. Just like there are only four spare teeth, which are the last spare when they are in their twenties and thirties. After they exceed their age, there are no spares. Later generations have good living conditions, so wisdom teeth have become a trouble. In the current Han Dynasty, many poor people can use the teeth in the end, but instead they are wisdom teeth...
Cao Cao's teeth were actually not very good since the time of the rebellion.
Once the fire is on, the gums become inflamed, and the gums become inflamed will cause the gums to shrink, which will expose the roots of the teeth. After the roots are exposed, the entire teeth will be broken, and it will not be far away.
Now, it is better to say that Cao Cao is swallowing rather than saying that Cao Cao is eating.
I was anxious to get angry, my gums were swollen and painful, and every time I chewed it, it actually hurts.
This made Cao Cao feel a pain every time he had a meal.
But Cao Cao couldn't say that he wanted to take a leave and go to see a dentist...
There is not even a slight expression of pain!
After eating, or swallowing the meal.
Cao Cao rinsed his mouth and waved his hand to let the guard take down the plate.
When the guards left, Cao Cao lowered his head and showed some painful expression.
He is older and physically worse than before.
When he was in Heluo, Cao Cao could stay up all night and be energetic. There was no problem in running around day and night, but now he can't do it...
Even if he wants to do this, he is powerless.
My muscles and bones are loose, and I can’t even sleep well. When it’s rainy, my shoulders and neck are sore.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the guard reported, "The third young master is here..."
"Enter!"
The painful expression on Cao Cao's face disappeared and he returned to his calm and majestic appearance.
Cao Zhang lowered his head and walked in, "Greetings to my father."
"Raise your head!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
Cao Cao knew why Cao Zhang bowed his head.
The Tongguan camp has collapsed, and Yanxiang cannot be as strong as the Tongguan New City of the Cavalry. Falling is also a matter of close proximity. Therefore, as the chief general of the Tongguan camp, Cao Zhang felt that it was normal to have no shame to see Cao Cao.
Cao Zhang was originally looking down with a dirt face, but when Cao Cao shouted, he had to raise his head and greet Cao Cao again.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Sit."
Cao Zhang reported to Cao Cao all the time about the war in Tongguan these days.
Although Cao Cao had known about the war in Tongguan through the war report, he still listened very seriously now and asked some questions from time to time.
Cao Zhang also answered it one by one.
In the Battle of Tongguan, the biggest shortcomings of Cao's army were not on the soldiers, but on the war equipment.
This was just like during the first battle, when the defenders who were originally fighting in the trench suddenly saw the tanks driving to their faces, and the helpless collapse became a necessity. The trench that was originally dug out, the positions that were held, the wire mesh that were pulled out, and the minefields arranged were easily broken through by several tanks.
Even if the tanks at that time did not even have artillery, they could only be considered as steel plates and machine guns installed on the tractor chassis, which were not resisted by these soldiers without armor-breaking weapons.
When the Cavalry Army counterattacked the Tongguan Camp, the various forms of weapons, artillery, fire cabinets, rockets, etc. presented were all new weapons that Cao Cao had never thought of before, and they were new weapons that people from Shandong had never seen before. They were really like being crushed by tanks on their faces.
It is very difficult for Tongguan Daxing to fight until now.
First, many traps were set up in the early stage, and second, the cooperation between Cao Zhang and Liu Fu was quite good. They retreated little by little by little without a large-scale defeat.
Of course, the Cavalry Army also used these firearms during the study period and was not proficient, which finally led to the current situation.
After listening to Cao Zhang's report, Cao Cao thought for a long time before slowly saying: "Zhang'er, can you tell me what was my father's ambition?"
Cao Zhangran said: "My father's ambition must be to support the country and control the world!"
Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, "The initial ambition for his father is just to be a good county magistrate..."
"Ah? County, County Magistrate?" Cao Zhang was a little stuck when he heard this.
Cao Cao nodded, "Later, I wanted to be the general of the Western Expedition... Well, that's right, it was the Western Expedition before the Western Expedition... At that time, my father thought that the Han Dynasty was in chaos and incompetent, so it would be better to go to Longxi to quell the Qiang Rebellion and protect the border for the Han Dynasty..."
Cao Zhang was stunned. He didn't know why Cao Cao wanted to tell him this.
Cao Cao raised his head slightly, as if he was recalling something, "Whether he was a county magistrate or a general in the west, it seemed like he had changed his ambitions, but in fact it was still the same... he wanted to do something for this great man... he really did something, instead of holding a few books and talking big at the cocktail party... This is what the gentry and ministers should do... The cavalry once said a sentence, saying that he was a scholar and was Hongyi... I think he was really saying this well..."
"Ah?" Cao Zhang was a little confused.
『He said...you see, he has done it now...and he has done it well..." Cao Cao smiled, 『Although we are opponents with them, we cannot deny everything they have done just because they are opponents... You see their gunpowder and firearms now... we should really think carefully about how to deal with it... we can't talk about any tricks anymore...
Cao Zhang nodded, "What my father said is. These firearms are indeed powerful."
Perhaps because of something that Cao Zhang couldn't help but burst into pieces.
Cao Cao saw it, stood up and walked to Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang also stood up quickly.
"Zhang'er, success or failure is nothing, it's not the time to make a final decision!" Cao Cao patted Cao Zhang on the shoulder, "You still have to bear the ambition of being a father in the future!"
Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly turned red and lowered his head, saying, "Child, the child will definitely live up to his father's expectations!"
Cao Cao smiled and was about to say something, suddenly there were footsteps coming in a hurry.
"Prime Minister! Zhongtiaoshan Camp urgently reported!"
『Submit!』
Cao Cao couldn't care what to say to Cao Zhang, so he turned around and returned to the table and sat down, and then took out Zhongtiaoshan's urgent report in the light of the oil lamp.
The oil lamp flashed, and Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked a little hard.
Cao Zhang hurried forward, pulled up some of the wicks of the oil lamp with small scissors, and then cut the burnt small piece short.
The lights are a little brighter.
Chapter completed!
