Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian has already told Zao Zhi about Zao Zhi's mission to Yuan Shao. There is no big problem. He just wants to let Zao Zhi show his true colors and bring some gifts to show his respect for Yuan Shao. After all, he is now with Yuan Shao. There is no bad blood, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being, so this task is not too difficult.

But today, Fei Qian took Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming out of Pingyang City and headed north, not because of the mission, but because Fei Qian wanted to talk to Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming alone.

These two people are actually very important here in Fei Qian. They are two crucial links in Fei Qian's entire blueprint. One is in charge of farming and the other is in charge of craftsmen, so that Fei Qian can spare more time. To manage and plan the entire situation, and farming and craftsmen are now as important as military affairs...

Along the road from Pingyang to Yong'an, on the bank of the Xinshui River, there is a huge camp with numerous sentries and tight security. This is where Fei Qian's workshop is located.

Fei Qian, Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming stood outside the workhouse camp, looking at the wall of the workhouse and the rice fields beside the canal in the distance. He suddenly said: "Many people think that you two are the author of the work, which is boring... "

Before Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming could react, Fei Qian continued, "One is a farmer, and the yellow mud is his companion all day long, and the other is... Well, a craftsman, working with iron tools all his life, is not comfortable. Often. Some people say that when you stand in the world, you should relax your ambitions, use strategy and tactics in battle, and use education to establish your government. This is the right path..."

Not only some individual people in the Han Dynasty, but also many people in later generations thought the same way.

The Three Kingdoms, of course, it means you plot against me, and I plot against you, leading 30 soldiers to sweep away 300,000, that’s what is called the Three Kingdoms. Can it be called the Three Kingdoms if it’s just those who love each other, talk about trivial matters, and research and invent all day long?

It's so boring to do logistics, calculate food and fodder, and conduct craftsman research. It's only interesting when two armies face off and fight. You set a fire and I pour a ladle of water...

Just like logistics soldiers are not soldiers, only special forces are called soldiers.

Are strategy and bravery important?

certainly.

But resources and technology are equally important.

What does "one Han stand up to five barbarians" means that it relied on the comprehensive suppression of the Huns with metallurgical technology to achieve critical strikes in all aspects, rather than that the Han people had stronger martial arts and smarter strategies than the Hu people...

In fact, Fei Qianzun can see this in some book records in Taiku. In the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, strictly speaking, the Huns were not defeated, but dragged to death alive. The Huns were killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During the war that lasted for thirty or forty years, it was dragged from strong to weak, from an extremely powerful tribal alliance to fragments and torn apart. In the end, the Han people wearing iron armor and carrying refined ring-headed knives rushed forward, while the Xiongnu finally even I can't even get together a set of tattered leather armor, and I still need bones to make arrowheads...

This is called one man supporting five barbarians.

As for the frontal war between them, well, the Han people actually didn't take much advantage, and they didn't realize many strategies.

The Battle of Pingcheng was a disastrous defeat.

The Battle of Mayi was discovered in advance.

Then the first frontal defeat of the Xiongnu was in the winter of the sixth year of Yuanguang. The chariot general Wei Qing was sent out of Shanggu, the cavalry general Gongsun Ao was sent out, the light chariot general Gongsun He came out of Yunzhong, and the heroic cavalry general Li Guang was sent out of Yanmen.

Wei Qing went to Longcheng and won the first prisoner level 700.

Most of these seven hundred levels were obtained by Wei Qing on his way. The other three were either defeated or lost...

The subsequent battles were basically the same, with each having its own victory or defeat. At the beginning, the Han army as a whole still killed a thousand enemies and suffered a thousand losses to itself. On several occasions, the entire army was even swallowed up by the Xiongnu...

"The right general Su Jian lost his army and escaped alone, redeeming him as a commoner."

"Li Guang killed more than 3,000 Xiongnu people and killed 4,000 of his army. He escaped alone... he should be beheaded and redeemed as a commoner."

"General Junji Zhao Ponu rode out with 20,000 soldiers from Shuofang to attack the Xiongnu, but they refused to return."

"Li Ling, the cavalry captain, sent 5,000 infantrymen out of Yanbei to fight Shanyu and beheaded more than 10,000 captives. Ling was defeated and surrendered to the Huns."

"Because General Gongsun Ao sent 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantrymen out of Yanmen... Ao and King Zuo Xian were unlucky in the battle, so they were all lured back."

"General Guang Li of the Second Division sent 70,000 people out of Wuyuan... Guang Li was defeated and surrendered to the Huns."

Don't these generals who lead the troops have no strategy and no courage?

And Fei Qian was facing a new generation of overlords on the prairie, the Xianbei tribe that had replaced the Huns. Could he defeat the Xianbei just by relying on strategy?

What a joke.

Bingzhou itself has a small population. If too much vitality is consumed in the war, it will be a tragic thing whether it is the current defense of Xianbei or the future.

As the person leading the way, Fei Qian naturally needs to see further and think more. Before formally handing over the authority, he must clarify the attitudes of the two people. Don't just be impulsive and regret it after a while. Well, this is not only misleading others, but also misleading yourself.

Zao Zhi was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "In ancient times, people lived on the land, used firewood and bonfires, and maintained the country. Shun plowed, and Yu also farmed. The crops were luxuriant, and the trees and plants were flourishing. Kong Bi Fan Xu, who did not walk in the fields, was trapped in Chen Cai, and did not eat for seven days. If the family and country are working hard, there will be no shortage, and the stones will not be stored, so where will the taxes come from? Where will the military pay come from? I want to follow the rules, and the yellow mud will be my companion, and the young crops will be my companion. Companion, if you encourage farmers to enter mulberry trees, you will never regret it."

Fei Qian did not make any comments, but solemnly bowed his hand to Zao Zhi as a gesture of respect for his ambition.

Zao Zhi also returned the gift with dignity.

Tai Shiming on the side said at this moment: "I... am not as talented as Shi Yuan, my wise uncle is not as intelligent as my elder brother Yuan Zhi, and my agility is not as good as my elder brother Zijing..."

Zao Zhi slightly arched his hands to show modesty.

Taishi Ming continued: "... Ming has thought about winning a thousand miles and strategizing, but I am not the director... When I was a child, I watched my father and brother plowing with plows. Seeing their hard work, I once boasted that I would make a great achievement. Things can save you from labor... Zhonglang, please be at ease. I am not a sensationalist, but I am willing to be with steel tools. If it can benefit future generations, it will also be a comfort for my life..."

Tai Shiming's speech was short and slow, and he was not as literary as Zao Zhi, but his meaning was the same. Fei Qian also solemnly saluted Tai Shiming, and then said to Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming: " If there are no farmers, there will be no food in the barn; if there are no workers, the weapons will be in trouble; and those who are good at fighting will not have great achievements. I will choose a day to bestow the seals on the two farmers and workers!"

While he was talking, suddenly a horse came galloping far away from the north. In the smoke and dust, he could faintly see that it seemed to be a postman specially sent to deliver messages in the inn...

Fei Qian couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that...

I just learned that on July 14th, a festival in Guangxi, fellow villagers from the canteen next door kill ducks again and invite friends to drink...

July 14th...

Guangxi people seem to be very polite...

ps: What should I do if my monthly pass debt becomes more and more? How about making an appointment... Hmm, it seems good...
