Chapter 3403 The Farest End
Fei Qian also played with building blocks when he was a child.
All the building blocks will eventually point to a building, a tower.
At the beginning, stacking was undoubtedly simple.
Even if you place a ball on it casually, you can frame the ball by adding bars or squares later, or use the ball as part of the tower base.
The difficulty is that it is at the back, at a high place, and the higher it goes, the easier it is to collapse.
So Fei Qian cannot be in a hurry. He has to deal with each building block to ensure that the building blocks are stable and will not shake before proceeding to the next step until the tower is completed.
Otherwise, a small shaking in the lower layer will eventually cause a large deviation in the upper layer.
Fei Qian is now dealing with the newly added building block in Yuncheng, Hedong.
Originally, Fei Qian thought it would be slower and more troublesome, and Fei Qian even discussed it with Xun Chen in advance and asked Xun Chen to prepare, but what Fei Qian didn't expect was that Pei Ji accelerated the process.
Pei Ji was like a catalyst, but he did not involve the interests in it. The reaction was the diehards of Fei Qian's side and the old Yuncheng gentry. Originally, Fei Qian might have taken some time to identify and eliminate these diehards, but now the time has been shortened and the effect is more thorough.
These diehards are not sure about the situation they are facing, nor have they seen the force displayed by Fei Qian, but the concepts in these guys' heads cannot be changed. The big man is a big man, but the family is a family.
Under such an old idea, these guys tried to come up with a new equation, the cavalry is the cavalry.
Under such guiding ideology, the old gentry tyrants in Hedong, Fei Qian, said in secret that the present is different from the past, still some people are still dissatisfied with it. But what is interesting is that such people are often the stupidest part of these gentry children, and the first part to betray.
Just like now, Pei Ji went out for a while and then harvested a row of heads.
Fei Qian sat in the upper head and looked at the heads.
Men, women, old, and young are like harvests in the fields, and the particles are returned to the warehouse.
When Pei Ji cut off these guys' heads, he was really not ruthless at all.
Not only did he cut his head, but he also registered and purchased and sold one by one according to the roster, and did it meticulously.
"Among these, are there people who are familiar with Wen Heng?" Fei Qian asked.
Pei Ji did not avoid it and nodded and said, "I have an acquaintance. However, Ji is willing to go to the Western Regions. Is this old friendship... or not!"
Fei Qian nodded.
This is a cruel person.
However, in places like the Western Regions, if you are indecisive and hesitant, it will definitely not work.
Fei Qian said: "This trip to the Western Regions is long. Wenheng has something to do and has not yet finished his concerns, so why not say it."
Pei Ji bowed and said, "Thank you, lord. I have something to do, so I hope you will take care of me. My second brother is relatively weak and has a pedantic spirit. Now my subordinates have killed these thieves, but there are many people who marry in Hedong, and there are still some omissions. My subordinates leave..."
"I understand." Fei Qian nodded, "I will record this matter. But there is something else?"
Pei Ji fell to the ground, "Nothing else is wrong."
Fei sneaked down, helped Pei Ji up, and then sent someone a brocade robe, a set of armor and a war horse, which was also considered a ceremony for Pei Ji.
After Pei Ji thanked him, he followed the team heading to Chang'an and set off directly, without even returning to Anyi City.
Nowadays, Longmen Ferry and Puban Ferry on the river are still under Feiqian's control. If you want to say it is convenient, naturally, there is no smooth flow like the Shaanxi-Jin Ferry ferry, but it is also operating normally. It is not a big problem to transport some troops and materials.
Killing is often a choice in the event of ultimate in reconciliation and compromise between the two sides, and there is no room for coexistence.
If Fei Qian wants to break the old subordinate relationships in Hedong and release the land controlled and concealed by the old gentry and powerful people, he will inevitably conflict with these old gentry and powerful people.
At this point, Fei Qian could not give in.
Otherwise, everything he did before would lose its meaning and would lead to suspicion and turmoil in the original political group.
Therefore, if these old gentry gentry refused to give in, they would naturally be left with a dead end.
Fei Qian is not without room for anything, nor is he a one-size-fits-all opposition to land transactions.
From a certain perspective, land trading is not a bad thing from an economic perspective.
Land can also be regarded as a commodity. It is meaningless to simply say that the "good and evil" of this commodity.
It's like discussing the "good and evil" of a knife.
What Fei Qian opposed and guarded against was "land annexation", because this was already separated from normal economic exchanges. Instead, the landlord class used various means to seize the land-owned farmers, sell their land and real estate, and become proletarian tenants.
Note that it is "smart robbery"!
Especially the "snatch" that is concealed under the "law"!
For the "right to use" of this land, the tenant farmers devoted their entire life to their labor force, and were firmly bound by the "right to use" of the land, and lost all their vitality and creativity.
This is sad and even more terrifying.
Especially in Hedong, there are still a large amount of concealed real estate.
These hidden real estate will not reduce the output of land acres accordingly because of their concealed attributes. On the contrary, these hidden land acres not only destroy the institutional system of state operation, but also strengthen the ambitions of these landlord classes, causing one feudal dynasty after another to enter an irreversible cycle.
Fei Qian used gentle means to ease the situation first, which shows an inclusive attitude.
But then he showed a tough side of force, which was another decision that could not be discussed.
If you give two opportunities and don’t know how to change or adapt, you can only go to destruction.
If it was not in the gap between war, Fei Qian might have more patience and give him a little longer, and perhaps fewer people would die.
Pei Ji left with his family tree. Perhaps one day the new Pei family will appear in the Western Regions, but at least it is different from the old Pei family.
New things will always replace old things, even how much humans miss old things.
After eating the cooked meat from barbecue, humans can never go back to eat raw meat and drink blood. Even if they occasionally eat sashimi or something, they will definitely not be able to eat raw and cold every day.
This is the simplest development and change.
Once a feudal dynasty stops, it will decline and fall.
Only forward.
Continuously move forward and expand to the farthest reach that manpower and productivity can reach!
Then even if it really falls, some Chinese people will remember that they once went so far and built so big, instead of staying in a small room, claiming to be a country with abundant resources!
Sometimes, Fei Qian feels that he is less and less like a person...
Just like facing these heads, Fei Qian might feel nauseous, vomiting, and fear in the early years, but now he can walk in the blood, and then easily outline and eliminate the lives of such people.
I am also constantly moving forward!
Even if I want to stop, there are probably many people who are unwilling to push him forward.
Until...
The farthest end of manpower!
Fei Qian thought quietly for a moment, then said loudly, "Come here! Hang these heads to the top of Anyi City and expose them to the sun for three days to serve as a warning! In addition, the commander from the school came to discuss matters!"
...
...
The cavalry army rolled forward, and Xu Chu's vanguard and Sima Yi and Li Li gathered together.
"You did a good job." Xu Chu said to Li Li, "Don't worry about temporary failures and setbacks. Under the lord's command, as long as you are willing to follow these three-color flags and stop, you don't have to worry about falling down and no one helping you with your injuries!"
Li Li kowtowed, "Li should be crushed to pieces to repay the lord's kindness!"
Xu Chu helped Li Li up.
Sima Yi bowed his hand aside.
Xu Chu nodded, "Add to discuss military affairs first. Other young people."
The old Han military system was very strange.
On the one hand, it is a crime of losing the army, and it is very strict. Even if you have won many times before, it is useless. As long as you lose in one battle, you must discuss the crime. On the other hand, it is advocated that "victory and defeat are common in military affairs" so that some people can calmly use this back door to slip away at certain moments, and then take office again after the situation is calmed down...
For example, Fei Qian's approach, that is, martial arts halls, is relatively fair.
At least in terms of punishment, everyone recognizes it, and no one can say anything.
For example, Lu Bu.
The three of them quickly put their success or failure aside and began to discuss the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp in front of them.
In the past few days, under the command of Sima Yi and Li Li, the Cavalry Army basically controlled the earth plateau area at the foot of the mountain to the north of Zhongtiao Mountain, and also carried out some preliminary detection and other preparations.
The entire battlefield was cleaned up, and the main roads were even checked back and forth several times to ensure that there were no missing traps and secret passages.
A temporary straw shed was built on the high ground, and a twelve-hour guard post was set up.
In addition, because Cao's army polluted and filled the water sources more than ten miles north of Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, on the one hand, it is now digging and cleaning, and on the other hand, it has also established two routes for replenishing water sources from farther water sources, and transported them with water trucks.
People from Shandong probably cannot understand the familiarity of water transport trucks on the Loess Plateau.
After Xu Chu briefly understood the situation, the first thing he did was to go to the front line with Sima Yi and Li Li.
The soldiers of the cavalry army were building camps, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun.
The Cao army on Zhongtiao Mountain obviously also saw this, but did not send troops to harass or attack Xu Chu's former army to build a camp.
Sima Yi pointed out the Zhongtiaoshan camp of Cao's army and said that the Cao army had some cavalry troops at first, but as the battle continued, these cavalry gradually became consumed, so it is difficult for the Cao army to stop us from building the camp by relying solely on infantry.
After all, there is still a certain distance between the two sides, so it’s okay for the cavalry to go back if they only use infantry, they have to go for more than ten miles, and then they have to block the cavalry’s cavalry and want to go back...
Therefore, Cao's army is just watching the cavalry army building a camp, and there is nothing we can do about it.
『Is there any plan for the main attack direction?』
Xu Chu sat upright on the horse's back and looked at the Zhongtiaoshan camp on the earthen plateau.
『Yes.』 Sima Yi pointed out, 『The direction of the last attack between Li Zheng and I was one of them... However, Cao's army has not been idle for this period. They are making some arrangements on the mountain, which should be to strengthen the defense of these places...』
Xu Chu took out his telescope, squinted his eyes for a while, nodded, "There is smoke and dust on the mountain."
Sima Yi nodded, "Either building civil engineering or ambush."
"Where are other channels?" Xu Chu asked, "I remember there are a few ways, but it is not easy to drive."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "That's right. I walked with Hao Bo Road before, and some places were really steep and difficult to walk. And after the last time... I guess Cao's army would be more careful..."
Hao Zhao is now stationed in Puban, guarding against Cao's army to take a detour to attack the flanks.
Xu Chu nodded, "Zhongda, do you think Cao's army will go on the path and sneak attack our army?"
The road was there, and Sima Yi could walk, and of course Cao Jun could walk.
Sima Yi said, "It is indeed possible, but I have sent people to stare at a few mountain passes day and night..."
"Several mountain passes." Xu Chu nodded, and could understand, "It is indeed difficult to be comprehensive. Such a large mountain... If I am not familiar with the specific terrain, I will easily go wrong with the help of the mountain with my troops."
Sima Yi nodded and sighed, "That's true. Unfortunately, two of the guides died last time, otherwise they could have some craftsmen make a map sand table... The Qiang people were illiterate. If many people confirmed each other, they would be more accurate. Only one or two people would make the map oral drawings, they would probably harm the army."
"Well, be cautious." Xu Chu agreed.
The road that Sima Yi had previously attacked Zhongtiao Mountain has been mostly blocked now, while Sima Yi has never walked on other roads. The expressive ability of the Qiang people guide is really worrying, and there is no time for the Qiang people to take another new path to draw...
Xu Chu and Sima Yi looked at Zhongtiao Mountain, which was lying like a giant snake, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Before, Cao's army attacked Emeiyuan, but now they attacked Zhongtiao Mountain.
Every peck and drink, it is like there is a destiny.
At the beginning, Cao's army was troubled by Emeiyuan, so it was Xu Chu and others who were the turn of trouble for Zhongtiao Mountain.
"If I march, I will divide the troops into three groups, one by one to use for feint attacks, one by one to cut off, and the other will break the outer circle of Cao's army..." Xu Chu gestured, "Enter from that intersection, and then turn over the valley... The only thing that may be threatened is the Cao's army camp on the valley. If you are shot from a high place with a crossbow, you will definitely lose a lot..."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "General's route is good. But I have also thought about another route, from there...that mountain is higher than the surrounding area, so I can seize that mountain first and then suppress the rest of the small..."
"The mountain is not big, I'm afraid there will not be many people going up." Xu Chu turned the telescope and observed it, "There are fewer people and there will be no suppression. If there are too many people, the mountain is congested, which will reveal the flaws of Cao Jun..."
Sima Yi smiled and said, "I am trying to reveal a flaw to Cao's army!"
"Oh?" Xu Chu suddenly realized, "I understand it again if I say so..."
"It's just that in the last attack, I couldn't find out where the Cao Jun stone cannon was located, but I think it should be around these places..." Sima Yi pointed out.
"Stone Cannon..." Xu Chu's face showed some complicated expressions, "Zhongda, how many stone cannons do you think Cao's army will place here?"
"The hills of different sizes are different, and the number of arrangements that can be arranged is not the same," Sima Yi said quickly, "If we are arranged intensively according to our army and arranged one every fifty feet, then there may be hundreds of hills on the large hills, and there may be thirty or fifty... But I think the layout distance of Cao's army should be on the third line, mainly suppressing mountain roads, so the overall number should not be large... There are about three or five hundred towers distributed on each mountain road..."
"Three or five hundred units..." Xu Chu repeated half of the sentence.
"Yes, and because it is difficult to make stone bombs, oil bombs, etc., it should be the most fierce first wave..." Sima Yi said, "I want to occupy that mountain, for this reason. If I can climb high and look out, I can first detect the location of the stone cannon, and use the yellow crossbow to wait for an opportunity to break it..."
"Food and grass. What is the situation of Cao's army's food and grass? Can you get some people in and burn food and grass?" Xu Chu asked again.
Sima Yi shook his head, "It's hard."
Sima Yi briefly talked about his previous actions with Hao Zhao, saying that Cao's army should have dug some caves in the mountains to store grain and grass, so unless it invades the camp or cave, the food and grass may be destroyed.
If you want to ignite food from a distance, it will not be very effective.
The key is that Sima Yi felt that Cao's army should not have much food and grass. It was meaningful to take the risk of burning Cao's army's food and grass before. Now, if you try to burn it, the effect may be very average...
Xu Chu thought about it, nodded, and gave up the idea of ​​burning food and grass.
Xu Chu and Sima Yi discussed for a while, suddenly turned around and saw Li Li standing aside, seemingly at a loss, and asked: "Person Li, what are you doing? What's the matter?"
Li Li asked with some confusion: "General Xu, are we going to attack soon?"
"Who said that?" Xu Chu was stunned, then understood, laughed and turned to Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, you haven't discussed this way in the past few days?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Person Li has been promoted and some things are not familiar with...Person Li and I have never discussed this before."
Sima Yi bit "this" more severely, and Xu Chu understood it, so he waved to let Li Li get closer, "Don't be restrained... You are also a lieutenant now, you must become familiar with this matter as soon as possible... The lord is wise. Since he entered Chang'an, the most common thing is to be afraid that there is no talent, not to be afraid of versatile! And as the main general on the front line, the important thing is to make decisions on the spot... And how can this ability to make decisions on the spot be if there is?"
Of course, Xu Chu and Sima Yi could not command the attack now, but how could they not be excited when facing such a big battle, and it is very likely that it would change the entire process of the Han Dynasty?
Xu Chu and Sima Yi's discussion in front of the formation was also to reserve experience in the future...
After all, the world is so big that you can always get some battles to fight.
Li Li understood a little, but didn't understand a little.
