It was precisely because of the lack of preparations in all aspects that Feng Duhu did not think about having a battle with Sima Yi in Changping.
Because I can't afford it.
Of course, if you really want to be like the Qin State in those days, it is not impossible to spare no effort in the people and forcefully mobilize the power of the whole country to have a Han and Wei version of the Changping War.
But if this is the case, we must win the support of all the aristocratic families and upstarts in the Han Dynasty, and even compromise with them.
In this world, there are people who do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money.
In order to gain the support of those gluttons, how many concessions does the court have to make, and how much benefit does it have to give them in the future?
Not to mention that this kind of thing is easy to form path dependence. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. If there are three, we don’t want to consider other ways.
Future generations have such strong control, but once they are kidnapped by a certain industry, don’t they have to be too big to fail?
Even if he knew it was a urinal, he still had to hold his nose and pick it up again and again to use it.
I know that industrial upgrading is the best way, but I just want to take a breath and take another breath...
Feng Duhu is a member of his own family who knows his own affairs.
The Prime Minister was able to pull Ji Han out of the swamp of the aristocratic family. Feng Duhu thought that he did not have the ability and courage of the Prime Minister.
He can only follow Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and stick to the line set by the Prime Minister during his lifetime.
The generals on the front line can not consider the rear or the overall situation, but only think about how to perform meritorious service.
But Feng Duhu couldn't do it.
He needs to consider the problem from an overall perspective.
Send troops to Shangdang, fight to the death with the bandit army, and recapture Shangdang.
This is not only what the front-line soldiers want to do, but it is also in line with the expectations of the imperial court.
But Sima Yi is an old turtle and his defensive ability cannot be underestimated.
If there is really a stalemate, then the risk is a bit high.
Not only will there be people within the Han Dynasty who want to take action, but even the Wu Kingdom will probably wake up laughing from their dreams.
"Then what the Protector of Anzhong means is, what should we do?"
Zhang Yi asked.
Feng Duhu smiled and did not answer directly:
"I came all the way from Caoqiao Pass. I'm a newbie here. Naturally, I don't know as well as you guys about the situation in Shangdang."
"So how can it be decided with just one word? We still need to ask more of the military officers for their opinions."
Not to mention Zhang Yi, even Zhang Ji couldn't help but want to complain about this:
You have just rejected our opinions, and now you are saying that you need to ask more opinions of the army lieutenants?
Probably sensing the minds of the generals, Feng Duhu pointed in the direction of Shangdang:
"I know you are eager to achieve great results, but you must take a long-term view in everything."
"To be honest, it's not impossible to go directly north to attack the eldest son, but how to guard against Gaodu in the south and avoid fighting on two fronts."
As he spoke, he turned around, looked around at the people behind him, and said meaningfully:
"And how to capture the eldest son as soon as possible to avoid a stalemate like the Changping War between Qin and Zhao, is an issue that needs to be considered."
"There are still two or three days before the army gathers. You can think about it carefully in these two or three days..."
Feng Duhu ran over in a hurry. He was a new arrival. After standing there for so long and talking so much, Feng Duhu also felt that he needed to rest first before talking.
Zhang Yi, Zhang Jiu and others were in their prime, and they were all representatives of the middle and senior officers of the Han army.
It is a good thing to let them think about things independently and cultivate their initiative.
After all, today's big men are no longer the big men in the prime minister's era, and can already afford mistakes and failures.
Otherwise, in the past, Wei Yan's attack alone was enough to cost the big man half his life, and he would probably not be able to breathe again for ten to eight years.
Therefore, Feng Duhu doesn't have to be like the prime minister, who has to grasp all the big and small things before he can rest assured.
It's just that this time, the problem Feng Duhu left for several people seems to be a bit big.
How to win the eldest son as soon as possible and avoid the stalemate in the Changping War.
"From Gaoping Pass to Changzi, there are many dangerous mountain passes. It may be a bit difficult to rush there."
"The traitor has occupied the eldest son for a long time. According to the news sent back by Shi Zhongrong (also known as Shi Bao), he and Sima Division fought at Gaoping Pass, but the eldest son's traitor army did not appear."
"So in my opinion, I am afraid that it is strengthening the defense of the eldest son, and even the elixir..."
The words are not finished, but everyone who discussed it knows what elixir means.
In the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao fought repeatedly with Danshui as the boundary.
If the eldest son's bandit army did not show up during the battle of Gaopingguan and they used this time to build a defense line east of Danshui, then it would be basically impossible to surprise the eldest son.
However, the request of the Central Protector was to give birth to the eldest son as quickly as possible.
It's really embarrassing.
Two days later, Jiang Bin, the governor of Hedong, personally escorted the grain and fodder to arrive. When he saw Zhang Bao and others, they all looked a little sad and wondered what went wrong ahead.
Unexpectedly, after asking, I found out the whole story.
Jiang Bin can be regarded as a second-generation official, and he often met Zhang Bao when he was in Shu.
In addition, after the battle of Shangdang, people in Hedong were in a state of unrest. One of them was the governor of Hedong, and the other was the general who defended Hedong.
Naturally, they have to deal with each other frequently and cooperate with each other, so they are familiar with each other.
When he heard what Zhang Bao said, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"General Zhang is confused for a moment!"
Zhang Bao was startled: "What does Jiang Fujun mean by this?"
Jiang Bin smiled:
"In my opinion, the Central Protector had no intention of attacking the eldest son, or in other words, he didn't expect to attack the eldest son immediately, so he said this."
"Don't beat the eldest son?"
Zhang Bao frowned even more when he heard this, "The thieves have occupied Shangdang, so the imperial court appointed the Central Guard to come here, isn't it just to regain Shangdang?"
"Shangdang will definitely regain it, but how to regain it has to be particular."
Jiang Bin became interested and explained patiently. After all, it was rare to discuss the war with people in the army.
These days, whoever is determined doesn't want to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield?
Jiang Bin simply bent down and took a few small stones to position himself.
"As Zhongduhu said, if we directly send our troops northward, we will inevitably have to stand in a stalemate in the Changping area, and we must also be careful of the Gaodu City bandits coming from the south."
He pointed to the stone representing Gaodu City, "But if you go south from Gaoping Pass, attack Gaodu City first."
He then pointed to the two stones representing Gaoping Pass and the eldest son, "The thieves will not dare to cross Gaoping Pass to support Gaodu."
When he said this, Zhang Bao immediately seemed to have some understanding, and he squatted down:
"Does the Central Protector want to go south and attack Gaodu first?"
Jiang Bin shook his head:
"How do I know what the Central Protector is thinking? This is just an analysis of the battle situation that I heard from others, and I think it makes sense."
"Now that I hear what you said, I feel that going north to attack the eldest son is indeed not the first choice."
The two of them were talking when suddenly someone above them asked:
"Who did you hear that from?"
The two of them were startled and raised their heads suddenly. It turned out that Zhong Duhu was standing behind them at some point.
Zhang Bao noticed someone coming, but he only asked which colleague it was and didn't pay much attention.
Hedong is now regarded as the front line, and there is nothing wrong with the Hedong prefect participating in military discussions.
Not to mention the request made by the Central Protector two days ago. One more person to discuss it will give one more opinion.
There is also a whole staff group in the Central Protectorate!
What I didn't expect was the Central Protector.
"Meet the Central Protector..."
Zhang Bao and Jiang Bin quickly stood up and saluted.
Feng Duhu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite and looked at Jiang Bin:
"Jiang Fujun hasn't said anything yet. Whose analysis are you listening to?"
Jiang Bin said "uh":
"When I returned to the Central Protector, I was a student named Du Yu."
When Feng Duhu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Du Yu? Student?"
"Exactly. Du Yu, whose courtesy name is Yuan Kai, was born in the Du family in Jingzhao. His father, Du Shu, first offended the puppet Wei officials in his early years and then had a disagreement with Sima Yi, so he had to resign and live in seclusion."
"After the Han Dynasty regained Guanzhong, Du Yuankai was recommended and admitted to the academy. Two years ago he was sent to Hedong to participate in the new land policy. It stands to reason that he should return to Chang'an this year to study at the academy."
"I just didn't expect that when the Shangdang war broke out, Hedong needed help, so I stayed in Hedong."
Jiang Bin saw that the Central Protector seemed to be interested in this student and quickly explained in detail.
This is not surprising, after all, if Du Yu really wants to enter the academy for further study, he might have to call Feng Duhu the mountain chief.
"Du Yuankai is young, but he is very talented. He got full marks for his internship in Hedong."
"In the past few months, I have assisted the governor's office in coordinating food supplies and recruiting civilians. No one has been missed. It is really rare."
"Du Yu, Du Yuankai..."
Feng Duhu muttered the name thoughtfully, nodded, and asked again:
"Where is this Du Yuankai now?"
"Back to the Central Protector, he is now verifying the provisions for handover."
Feng Duhu nodded:
"From what Jiang Fujun said, it seems that this Du Yuankai is indeed talented. Once the situation stabilizes, let him return to Chang'an as soon as possible."
Real talents, as long as they can enter a college and obtain formal employment opportunities, will have better opportunities to develop their talents in the future.
Although the Han Dynasty now uses both the imperial examination and the imperial examination, and with Feng Duhu's identity and status, it is naturally very easy to recommend someone.
But as the person who pioneered the imperial examination, he must have tried his best to guide the development of the imperial examination.
What's more, Du Yu has already half-stepped into the gate of the college, so there is no need to encourage others.
"Here."
"What Mr. Jiang Fu said just now is very thoughtful." Feng Duhu changed the topic and returned to the war. "We can bring this idea forward and discuss it with everyone."
After finishing speaking, Feng Duhu looked at Zhang Bao, his eyes lit up, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and left.
Returning to the handsome tent, I looked around and saw no one.
"Where's Ji Yan?"
"Back at Junhou, Pei Langjun said he got news from his friend and went out."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Pei Jiyan is Pei Xiu, the latest disciple accepted by Feng Duhu.
When talking about the big families in Hedong, the Pei family cannot be avoided.
Pei Qian, the head of the Pei family, wanted to put his concubine Pei Xiu in power, and Feng Duhu was also happy to see it happen, so he naturally wanted to bring Pei Xiu over.
Hedong is the foundation of the Pei family, so it is not surprising that Pei Xiu met his friends here.
Feng Duhu sat down, closed his eyes slightly, and tapped the table with his fingers.
The food and fodder have arrived, and the army is almost here.
The next step is to take real action.
I just don’t know what happened to the Tiger Infantry Army led by Jiang Wei and Liu Yin at Hangu Pass?
There should also be news from General Guan, counting the time...
"Sir, I'm back."
A voice sounded outside the curtain.
Feng Duhu opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
Pei Xiu walked in and saluted Feng Duhu:
"Meet sir."
"Yeah." Feng Duhu glanced at him and didn't move.
Pei Xiu stepped forward, reached out and touched the teacup on the table. She found that it was a little cold, so she picked it up and poured another hot cup.
"I heard that you went to meet a friend?"
"yes."
"I didn't expect that I also have good friends in the military."
"Mr. Hui, the student's friend is not a member of the military. He is actually a student at the college. He is just doing an internship and has not yet entered school."
Pei Xiu looked a little embarrassed, "Two years ago, he wanted to go out for an internship. He asked me for my opinion. I suggested that he come to Hedong."
As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on his face: "I didn't expect it to hurt him. If it had been anywhere else, he would have gone back to Chang'an to study."
"He's not the only one, this group of students is like this." Feng Duhu said calmly, "If they can seize the opportunity, they can also increase their credits. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, who can say whether it is good or bad?"
"That's what sir said."
Pei Xiu replied, "The student went to see that friend because he wanted to comfort him. However, he was more tolerant and said the same thing as the teacher."
When Feng Duhu heard this, he became a little interested:
"Oh? That friend of yours must be young. It's rare to have such an idea. What's his name?"
"Mr. Hui, his name is Du Yu, his courtesy name is Yuan Kai, but..."
"Guanzhong Du Family?"
Pei Xiu was startled and a little surprised: "Sir, do you also know about Du Yuankai?"
Hearing Du Yu's name continuously throughout the day, Feng Duhu couldn't help but look at Pei Xiu thoughtfully and asked:
"You are a good friend of Du Yuankai, tell me what you think of this person."
When Pei Xiu heard his husband's question, his heart immediately began to beat fast. He had a premonition that his good friend seemed to have a good fortune.
"Du Yuankai's talent is ten times better than his students."
"Oh?" Feng Duhu looked Pei Xiu up and down, "Ten times as good as you?"
Then he shook his head and said, "I passed it, I don't believe it."
Who is Pei Xiu?
That was the father of maps, the person named after the United Nations specifically named the land on the moon.
"Sir, please listen to the student's explanation."
Pei Xiu bowed respectfully and said solemnly:
"If we only talk about knowledge, students will naturally not dare to belittle themselves and think that they are not inferior to Du Yuankai."
"But in addition to learning, Du Yuankai also dabbled in civil administration, military affairs, calendars, laws, arithmetic, history, engineering, etc., which is difficult for students to catch up with."
When Feng Duhu heard this, he said in surprise: "He is actually an all-rounder?"
"In the eyes of students, the only person who can be called an all-rounder in the world is Mr. Du Yuankai. But Du Yuankai has indeed covered a wide range of topics."
Recalling Jiang Bin's analysis today, Feng Duhu replied that Du Yu was talented in military affairs.
Now it seems that I still underestimated this person.
Feng Duhu took a few steps back and forth, and finally couldn't help but order:
