Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian looked at Huang Cheng and Huang Xu on his left, then at Jia Qu and Ma Yan on his right, and sighed in his heart, when will there be more people involved in this discussion...

Jia Qu was wrong when he said that the Ma family was a bit wrong. Today, the Ma family is no longer the home of poetry and calligraphy that it was when General Du Liao was conquered. Instead, because of long years of living and fighting in the frontier, he once checked and supplemented the Han Dynasty. His profound knowledge cannot guarantee the safety of his family, but instead his knowledge of military science is greatly valued.

Now, the Ma family of Ma Yan's generation has completely moved towards running the family by force. Basically everyone in the Ma family, men, women, old and young, practices martial arts, and they are all pretty good.

The arrival of the Ma family can be said to have greatly made up for the lack of mid-level officers in Feiqian. Ma Yan himself was the former captain of Shangjun, and several young men of the Ma family were originally members of the army. They were basically familiar with the military aspect. He was very familiar with it, and he quickly got along well with Huang Cheng and others, and started training the new recruits.

That's why Fei Qian was able to take some time to hold the second high-level meeting.

Originally, Fei Qian wanted Ma Yunniang to participate, but Ma Yunniang insisted and finally gave up.

According to Ma Yan, the martial arts of the Ma family are actually taught by women. The Ma family will definitely choose a woman who knows martial arts when getting married, and then this woman will be responsible for preserving and passing on the Ma family's martial arts. It is precisely because of this that the Ma family's martial arts has not been lost due to the unfortunate deaths of many Ma family men on the battlefield...

As the former captain of Shangjun, Ma Yan should be more familiar and understanding of the form of Shangjun than anyone here. This meeting also wanted all senior officials to have a clearer understanding of Shangjun.

But before talking about the situation in Shangjun, we must first talk about the Xiongnu and Qianghu.

Strictly speaking, the Xiongnu and Qianghu are both poor relatives of the Han nation...

Before the Zhou Dynasty, there was no word Xiongnu. The earliest Xiongnu was said to be the descendant of Xia. Xia Jie, the last monarch of the Xia Dynasty, was exiled to Nanchao by Shang Tang. After Xia Jie died, his son Maohuan led his troops to flee north to The grassland eventually gave birth to Shanrong, Guifang, Yingxi, Yiqu, Yanjing, Yuwu, Loufan, Dali, etc...

Xiongnu, Xiongtong is also a fierce person, and Nu is a contemptuous name. The Xiongnu killed and loved each other during the Zhou Dynasty. King You of Zhou used beacon fire to play with the princes. The beacon used was set up to prevent the Xiongnu at that time.

The Qiang people are even more interesting. The Qiang people are a minority in the west. They were also loyal subordinates during the Zhou Dynasty. The State of Qin itself is a Qiang Rong people. Qin Shihuang himself was born in Tianshui, Gansu Province, the old home of the Qiang people. The Tianshui Qiang race is Qin's clan, and after the founding of the country, he moved east to Xianyang, and also issued a decree not to use troops against the Qiang Rong tribe in the west...

Ma Yan said: "Now the majority of the people in Shangjun are Huns. Back then... well, when the Xiongnu went south in the first year of Zhongping, it was estimated that there were nearly 30,000 people, plus some Qianghu, but how many Xiongnu are there now? It’s easy to say, there are definitely more than those back then…”

Ma Yan had some pauses when talking about the first year of Zhongping, which everyone could understand, so he did not interrupt his thoughts and let him continue, "...in the fourth year of Zhongping, the situation in Shangjun Originally, they were initially under control. The Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu intended to make peace with the Han Dynasty and give up part of the land, but an edict changed everything..."

"In April of the fourth year of Zhongping, the imperial edict was issued to the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu to send troops to assist in quelling the rebellion of Zhang Chun, the prefect of Zhongshan. However, the early offensive failed to achieve the expected results, and the Southern Xiongnu served as the vanguard during the recruitment and suffered many casualties. , the southern Xiongnu right tribe Xiluo, Xiugehu, Baima Tong and others led troops to rebel again..."

"This time the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu also died in the rebellion. At that time, the entire Shangjun was completely in chaos, with fighting and disputes everywhere. At that time...hehe..."

Ma Yan smiled bitterly and said, "...At that time, the imperial court thought it was a good opportunity and ordered Shangjun to take advantage of the civil strife of the Southern Huns to regain the lost territory. However, unfortunately, the messengers were intercepted by the Huns, who immediately gathered A large number of soldiers attacked us first, and the entire Shangjun fell..."

Ma Yan did not continue to talk about what happened next, but everyone could basically guess that as the last Han army was driven out of Shangjun, the Han Dynasty completely lost its control over Shangjun and became The pasture of the barbarians.

Shangjun, from the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty, has been the horse breeding ground of the central government. It can be said that the current Eastern Han Dynasty, losing Shangjun, is like having a foot chopped off, losing a large supply of war horses, and also As a result, there is a lack of effective maneuvering power during internal suppression.

The Han Dynasty originally had three major horse breeding areas. One was naturally Yongzhou, which produced Xiliang horses, which were large and powerful; the other was Hetao horses, which were smaller, hard-working and suitable for long-distance raids; and the other was Jizhou horses, which were generally Somewhere in between.

Of course, there is another kind of horse in Sichuan, which is smaller and used to climb mountains and ridges, but after all, it is too small, and many people don’t think it is an authentic horse...

Just like in later generations, many people think that a car without a butt is not a car, so it is just a four-wheeled motorcycle with a shell...

Now Yongzhou is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family controls Hanoi and northern Hebei, and Hetao is in the hands of the Xiongnu. Therefore, the Han Dynasty has been completely cut off from its original four legs, leaving only two.

"Chengyuan, do you know how many Han people there are in Shangjun?" Fei Qian asked.

Ma Yan looked heavy, shook his head and said: "There must be some, but it's hard to say how many there are. Most of the Hu people are concentrated in areas with abundant water and grass. As for the more remote mountainous areas, the Hu people can't control them. "

"So how are the barbarians distributed?"

Ma Yan thought for a while and then said: "Since the Gao Nu, the Huns have basically been grazing along the river. They are distributed all the way to Qiuci and Baitu. On the west side of Baiyu Mountain, there is Sheyan, where most of them are. The Eastern Qiang tribes live together. It is said that in the Yunzhong Shuofang generation north of Shangjun, there were even Xianbei who went south to herd..."

In other words, basically all the land with abundant water and grass in Shangjun has been occupied...

The atmosphere in the big tent was a little solemn for a while.

Fei Qian pondered for a while, and then said: "Gentlemen, I have an idea, but it's not very complete yet. Let's talk about it first and let's go over it together."

Everyone turned to look at Fei Qian.

Fei Qian said thoughtfully: "What would happen if we clearly launched the banner of regaining Shangjun? Will the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?"

In fact, Fei Qian is considering whether to show the "Recruiting Order", "Killing Hu Order" and a lot of other things in history, but he also wants to see if it can be used in the actual situation, right?

But in fact, Fei Qian had his own intentions under this banner...

Death of Lu Bu:

After Cao sent him downstairs, Bu met Xuande and said, "Young Master is a guest, and Bu is a prisoner downstairs. Why don't you say a word and be lenient to each other?"

Xuande nodded.

Cao Cao knew what he meant and ordered Lu Bu to be escorted.

Bu said: "Ming Gong's troubles are no more than Bu. If Bu is now in service, the world will have nothing to worry about. Ming Gong is a step general, and Ling Bu is a cavalry general, then the world will have nothing to worry about."

Cao Cao looked back at Xuande and asked, "What do you want Lu Bu to do?"

Xuande replied: "Ming Gong has not seen anything about Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo?"

Nod it.

Bu looked at Xuande and said, "You are the most untrustworthy person!"

Cao then ordered him to go downstairs and hang him.

Bu looked back and said: "'Big Er'er'! Don't you remember when you shot the halberd at the gate?"

Fucking laughs.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Lü Bu, a common man, why should you be afraid of death?"

Looking at it, Zhang Liao was surrounded by swordsmen and axes.

Cao taught Lu Bu to hang himself and then beheaded him.

——Poor Lu Bu, he thought it was Liu Bei who said bad things until his death...
