The next morning, Chen Cheng got up very early as usual. When he was getting water to wash his face, he found that the scars on his face had faded a bit. He practiced bow shooting, sword dancing, and gun shooting in the backyard for half an hour.
Then Liu Qian was called up and started preparing breakfast.
Now his proficiency in various weapons is above 400, and his proficiency in bow and arrow is close to 500. With the help of archery targets, it is difficult for Superman to make any progress. The meaning of daily training is just to maintain the feel.
That’s all.
Ordinary people in the Han Dynasty usually only ate two meals a day, but he was used to a life of three meals a day, so naturally he still had to eat three meals a day. Not long after, he had already cooked a large pot of rice with the help of his soldiers.
Meat porridge, kang several guokui, and a little bit of pickles, that's today's breakfast.
The rice, noodles, meat and vegetables were all sent by Ma Teng. As a warlord who commanded a county, he could still get these things. Liu Qian had already finished washing, and then stood under the eaves of the corridor, watching Chen Cheng and his soldiers at work.
On the other side of the county government office, other soldiers were feeding fodder and beans to the war horses.
Horses are more delicate animals than humans. The better the horse, the more delicate it is. As herbivores, horses have to spend a lot of time eating every day. In order not to lose weight, someone has to feed them in the middle of the night every day.
This is the meaning of the saying "a horse will not grow fat without a night's grass".
After feeding the horses, the soldiers lined up and took turns fetching food.
Chen Cheng tore open the pot helmet and threw it into the porridge. Then he pushed it in front of Liu Qian and said, "It's ready to eat."
He also picked up a piece of bread and asked, "Does your body still hurt?"
Liu Qian lowered her head and was slurping her porridge. When she heard this, she said "yes".
Chen Cheng said: "It will be like this at the beginning. It will be fine after a few days of rest."
"kindness."
Chen Cheng stopped talking and spent three minutes destroying the food in front of him. Liu Qian was still struggling with the food. The flour used by Guokui was not a product of this era, but was brought by him from another world.
Yes, use a little and use a little less.
In this era, wheat was only eaten by the lowest common people. Because there was no good way to shell it, the shells and wheat bran were boiled together when eating, which not only pricked the mouth, but also scratched the throat. He himself
It doesn't matter, even if it is raw wheat, I can still eat it without changing my expression, but of course the food for Liu Qian cannot be so rough.
People in the south mainly eat rice, and people in the north mainly eat millet. There are many kinds of wheat in Xiliang, and many places have begun to use shelling technology, but there is still some shell left in the flour.
It was very hard on me, so naturally it couldn’t be compared with the flour Chen Cheng brought out.
While waiting for Liu Qian to finish her meal, Chen Cheng took out a roll of bamboo slips and began to write something on it. As a person with higher education, he knew that summarizing and reflecting were a good habit, and only by reflecting
Only by summing up the reasons for success and failure from past experiences can you avoid falling into the same pit twice.
But this is not necessarily true. The essence of human beings is repeaters. Sometimes even if you know what to do, you will still fall into the pit when it is time to fall into it.
Chen Cheng picked up the brush, dipped it in some ink, and began to think in his head.
"Strategy fails because of mistakes, and tactics fail because of mistakes. The reactionary forces in Luoyang City are too strong, and they can't find friends at all. Almost everyone is an enemy. In that case, failure is the only way to fail.
Normally. No matter how many times you defeat the enemy, you can never completely eliminate the source of the enemy. In other words, tactical victory cannot be transformed into strategic victory."
While Liu Qian was chewing on the Guokui stuffed with meat stuffing, she turned her head to look at Chen Cheng. She saw that his brows were slightly wrinkled, and sometimes they suddenly relaxed, and then he picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the bamboo slips.
She didn't know what Marquis Julu was writing, nor why he was always busy with things. A ten-year-old child already understood many things, and she also knew a lot, but she didn't know even more.
"Even if He Jin is killed, things will not get any better. Killing He Jin, as well as Dong Chong, Ma Rixi, Yuan Wei, Ding Gong, etc., these people can succumb to He Jin.
But he won't bend the knee to himself, so he wants to kill them all? Even if he gets the queen, the queen mother and the two princes, as long as others don't agree, justice is still not in his hands."
Chen Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief, thought about some things, and then wrote a few words on the bamboo slips.
"It is of course important to occupy the great righteousness, but as long as everyone does not agree with it, it will not be achieved. Perhaps only after the central government's authority is completely lost, at least after most of it is lost, can you appear as a savior. Only in that way can you occupy the great righteousness.
To gain some righteous status.”
"If the name is not correct, then the words will not be smooth. If the words are not smooth, then the things will not be accomplished."
His thoughts gradually spread, "Military victory is of course very important, but if it cannot be converted into political victory, it will only end up like Xiang Yu and Napoleon. Isn't the overlord good at fighting? Burning cauldrons and sinking boats,
After nine battles and nine victories, he defeated the main force of the Qin army. Returning to Pengcheng, he defeated Han Emperor Gaozu and even pushed his children under the cart. Napoleon also swept across Eurasia and defeated powerful enemies one after another. Both of them were
He is a genius general who has never been born in the world, but in the end he ended up with a bleak end. The truth behind this cannot be ignored."
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng smiled and said loudly: "It's hard to get a wheel, and it's even harder to get a broken wheel, but Xiang Yu can get it..."
"Ha ha!"
He laughed involuntarily as he recited it, and laughed twice. Chen Cheng looked to the side and saw Liu Qian had finished breakfast and was staring at him. Chen Cheng was stunned and touched his face.
, asked: "Is there something on my face?"
Liu Qian shook her head and said softly: "No."
"Oh, that's good." Chen Cheng said, "I'll give Ma Teng a gift later. Do you want to go with me, or do you want to rest for a while?"
Liu Qian raised the corners of her mouth and said, "I'll go with you."
"good."
Chen Cheng put away the bamboo slips and put them back in the "inventory". The "inventory" was originally full, but in the previous battles, the arrows splashed out like water splashes, and they had long been empty.
How many quivers.
He took out some boxes containing cloth and copper coins, then called a few soldiers who had finished their meal, and moved the boxes to the carriage. Liu Qian watched the things disappear in Chen Cheng's hands, and then several large boxes appeared.
, her eyes could not help but widen. Although it was not the first time she saw it, she would be surprised and shocked every time, and she would wonder if he was a god.
Yan Zhong rubbed his waist and walked out, yawned and asked: "Is the Lord going to give a gift to General Ma Teng?"
"Yes, we are on someone else's territory, so of course we have to give gifts to build a good relationship."
Yan Zhong came over to take a look and said: "If the cloth is reduced by half, don't give away the money."
"Huh?" Chen Cheng was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Yan Zhong yawned again, covered his mouth and said, "Too much is not enough."
Seeing the surprised look on Chen Cheng's face, Yan Zhong looked around and whispered: "Hu people are afraid of power but not moral."
Hu people...is Ma Teng considered a barbarian? Chen Cheng thought for a while and thought it would be better to listen to the opinions of the locals in Liangzhou. So he took back most of the things and rode back.
Arriving outside Ma's house.
The Qiang and Hu soldiers guarding the door had their heads shaved completely, leaving only two small braids on both sides. When they saw Chen Cheng and others approaching, they quickly stepped forward to greet them: "Princess, Juluhou!"
When Chen Cheng saw these costumes that were completely different from those of the Han people in the mainland, he didn't think there was anything wrong with them. Although "the beauty of clothing is called splendor", King Wuling of Zhao also wanted to carry out the reform of "Hufu riding and shooting", and many people in later generations
I wear suits and leather shoes every day, and I don’t see many people grieving.
He himself didn't care much about these things, but after seeing these Qiang people, he thought of other things, "If my force value could be ten times stronger, I wouldn't necessarily need to worry about political matters. If it were true,
If I can fight 10,000 soldiers each and single-handedly surround hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang City, why should I care about matters of righteousness or injustice? At that time, I myself was the most righteous person!"
"The problem is, even if you upgrade a few more levels, the force value will not be so exaggerated. We are not Saiyans, and the force can increase exponentially."
He was thinking wildly here, but Ma Teng had already come out to welcome him. He smiled and said when he saw him, "I wonder if the princess and Julu Hou are here. What's the matter?"
Chen Cheng calmed down and said with a smile: "The princess said: I am grateful for the general's hospitality and I have nothing to repay, so I will give you a gift in return."
He opened the box and exposed the exquisite silks and cloths to the sun. The supplies in the palace were naturally the most sophisticated in the world. Not to mention a remote place like Xiliang, they were rare outside of Luoyang.
Very.
Seeing the bright color, there was a sound of envy all around, and many people made "tsk tsk" sounds.
Chen Cheng said: "It's just a small gift, it's not respectful."
Fifty pieces of silk and fifty pieces of cloth are of course very valuable, but Ma Teng is a prince after all, so such a small amount of money is not taken seriously by him. However, these silks and cloths are so exquisite that they are rarely seen in Xiliang.
, Ma Teng couldn't help but laugh, and said repeatedly: "The princess is so polite!"
He calmed down and said to Liu Qian: "I will order someone to organize the food and wine..."
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "General Ma, please don't be so polite. We made an agreement yesterday that we will use the precious land to entertain the heroes of the county in ten days. I won't bother you today and take my leave."
Liu Qian, who had been quietly beside her, clasped her fists and said, "Uncle, please stay and say goodbye."
After saying that, they turned around and returned to the county government office. When they walked some distance away, Ma Chao snorted coldly and said: "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either raping or stealing! Father, please don't be fooled by their small favors."
Close your eyes!"
Ma Teng said: "I have my own sense of proportion."
Ma Yunlu didn't care so much. He couldn't help but stepped forward and touched the exquisite silks and cloths. He exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, these cloths are so slippery! The colors are so beautiful! They will also look great when made into clothes!"
She grabbed Ma Teng's arm, shook it and said, "Daddy, I want to make a new dress."
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu rushed to say, "I want it too!"
Ma Teng said with a smile: "They are all there, they are all there!"
