Three Kingdoms

"Heishan, it's over now..." Fei Qian looked at the latest military report in his hand, snorted softly, and then said, "Liang Dao set up an ambush on Shangdang Road and burned the attacking Blackshan army... The word "Black Mountain" is no longer beautiful..."

Fei Qian signaled General Huang Xu to pass the report to Jia Xu next to him, and said with a smile: "Wen He, you are from a good family..." Although Fei Qian also knew that Jia Qu and Jia Xu only had the same surname, their place of origin and their respective lives. The areas are very different, but I was in a good mood at the moment, so I made a little joke.

Jia Xu shook his beard and wiped his slightly greasy hands on the corners of the desk quietly before taking the military report. It was obvious that he was the first military reportr like General Fei Qian. When I gave it to myself, I felt a little surprised and surprised.

Today, Fei Qian held a banquet here in Yinshan to entertain his counselors and generals. It can be regarded as a small celebration banquet. Of course, some generals are still commanding troops and are not here. Unexpectedly, they are even more happy. Halfway through the banquet, I received this urgent good news.

"Congratulations General!"

"Congratulations, Lord!"

Everyone also congratulated Fei Qian one after another.

Fei Qian nodded with a smile, and then said: "How could we have achieved such a great victory if we hadn't all been united and our soldiers worked together? If I say congratulations, it's all due to you. After you review your merits, I will give you my thanks. Congratulations, haha, come on, let’s drink this wine together!”

"Drink victory!"

"Haha, Yin Sheng!"

Immediately, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate each other, with smiles on their faces, but Zhao Yun's face was still slightly stiff.

Fei Qian glanced at it slightly and sighed in his heart. Although this emphasis on love and justice is an advantage, it is also a disadvantage. This Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, it's not that Zhao Yun is not good, but he can't rejoice when everyone is happy. , being sober alone when everyone else is drunk is always the most painful thing.

"In this way, after Captain Zhang wipes out the remnants of the Black Mountains near Zhenlin, it can be said that the Bingbei area has been pacified in all directions!" Xun Chen stroked his beard, and his expression revealed his expectations for the future. .

Xianbei in the north has been defeated. After the tragedy, any action you want to take will have to be carefully considered; most of the territory to the west is the territory of the Qiang people, and these Qiang people have always been loose, with tribal leaders but no big leaders, and some The trade interests are there, and as long as Feiqian doesn't oppress too much, there won't be any problem.

As for the situation in the south, everyone knows...

Now, coupled with the defeat of the Montenegrin Army entrenched in the Taihang Mountains to the east, it can really be said that there are no major threats in the four aspects. It can really take a breather and develop and recover for a period of time.

Fei Qian also nodded, it was time to recover. In the past few days, Fei Qian has sent out a large number of scout teams, holding three-color flags, to the ravines and hills in all directions. One is to thoroughly inspect the nearby topography, and the other is to search for any fish that have slipped through the net. One of the most important things is to bring back those people who fled and hid because of this war.

These common people do not have household registration yet, so they cannot be regarded as people under Fei Qian's rule. Once these people settle down, and then slowly register their households, these people can truly be fixed in Bingzhou.

In fact, the population that Bingzhou can accommodate is not that small. As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to fight against the Xiongnu, many people from inland counties were gradually moved to Bingzhou. At its peak, each county in Bingzhou had between 3,000 and 5,000 garrison troops. Large counties and even Tens of thousands, the entire Bingzhou can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops...

But for well-known reasons, Bingzhou gradually weakened.

Now, Feiqian only needs to re-plan and develop on the basis of Bingzhou, which has not been completely damaged.

Jia Xu returned the military report in his hand, and Fei Qian gave it to Xun Chen.

Jia Xugong cupped his hands and said: "In my opinion, Zhang Ping in Montenegro is in trouble. Most of them have been buried..." People died in the Han Dynasty, and different people had different names. Although Zhang Yan was recognized as a bandit in Montenegro, there were still Han people after all. The so-called word "death" cannot be used for the title of a so-called general who overcomes difficulties given by Emperor Ling. Only ordinary people use the word "death". According to common sense, it should be "pawn", or "bulu", but for Zhang Yan, it seemed a bit too exaggerated, so he used a derogatory word. The word "funeral" in Yu Bing.

Montenegro Zhang Yan is actually unlucky, every step is slow and everything is slow.

In the human world, water and fire are the most ruthless.

Not all the traps set by Jia Qu had flaws, but these flaws gradually became difficult to detect under the cover of time.

The summer is getting hotter and the grass and trees are slightly dry, which is the best time to set fire. As for the kerosene, hay, dead branches and other items that Jia Qu arranged near the mountain road, if the Black Mountain Army had come a few days earlier, maybe Jia Qu would not have been able to After the arrangement was completed, perhaps the smell of kerosene was too strong and there would inevitably be some shortcomings, but unfortunately, the Montenegrin Army was late.

There are probably three roads from Heishan to Pingyang, Bingzhou. One goes out of Taihang Mountain, first to Hanoi County, then all the way west, and then north from Hedong County; the second one goes north first, passing through Taiyuan and Shangdang areas. Near Luliang Mountain Pass, pass through Yong'an County to Pingyang; and the third way is to take the original road that Hanoi Fang Yue took to invade Huguan, passing before Huguan.

The third road is the straightest and closest.

If the Black Mountain Army was originally powerful and had the power of victory from the robbery from Jizhou, Zhang Yan might have taken the Luliang Pass on the Dangtaiyuan route and rushed directly to the Yinshan Mountains.

However, the Black Mountain Army was severely dealt with by Lu Bu. In addition to losing most of the looted supplies, it also lost its courage. Therefore, how could Zhang Yan dare to lead his troops through the middle of Shangdang and Taiyuan? Wouldn't it be worse if the troops from Shangdang and Taiyuan were to attack the flank on such a long route?

As for taking the outer route, bypassing Hanoi County and Hedong County, let alone the question of whether the journey is long or not, just the possibility of encountering Cao Cao, who had previously defeated the Bai Rao tribe, would give Zhang Yan and his men an extremely headache. Therefore, after many choices, this is the most appropriate route.

But the appropriate route was not a safe route, so Zhang Yan suffered a tragedy.

Now that the Heishan army was ambushed, it can be considered that some time has passed, but Zhang Yan has not come forward to clean up the mess. This means that Zhang Yan is likely to die or be seriously injured and unable to show up. In the Han Dynasty, such burn injuries The wound infection caused is actually a serious and incurable disease.

Xun Chen also nodded and said, "If this person doesn't show up, he will be dead."

The Montenegrin Army was defeated, and Zhang Yan urgently needed to come forward to clean up the mess. The longer this delay, the more intense the chaos among the remnants of the Montenegrin Army would be, eventually leading to the entire situation becoming increasingly unmanageable.

However, Zhang Yan's failure to come forward to consolidate the Black Mountain Army does not mean that Fei Qian will not take action. The large population of the Black Mountain Army can also be an important source of supplementation in the Yinshan area.

So Fei Qian turned his attention to Zhao Yun.

To be honest, Fei Qian was lying when he said he wasn't worried about this matter. In this real world, anything can happen, and there are no system tools that can call up the dashboard of your generals at any time to check whether there are any fluctuations in the so-called loyalty...

But the problem is that only Zhao Yun is the most suitable for this task.

The defeated Montenegrin Army must have been frightened. If anyone else had gone, even if they shouted at the top of their lungs, they would probably have fled without any recruitment effect...

"Zilong, there is one thing..." Fei Qian said, "The thieves in Montenegro are certainly hateful, but the people who accompany the army are really pitiful, so I hope Zilong... will work hard and work with Jia Liangdao to bring the people of Montenegro together. It is also a good deed to gather them together and send them to Yinshan for resettlement so that they can live and work in peace and contentment..."

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment, stood up, bowed to Fei Qian, and said: "Your Majesty, Yun has a merciless invitation..."

Fei Qian looked at Zhao Yun, was silent for a while, and then said, "Please speak."

Zhao Yun cupped his hands again and said: "...Now that Zhang Ping of Montenegro is hard to blame, then...I don't know if I can forgive the other minor commanders. Most of them are ignorant and blind followers...If the king can forgive his sins, he will definitely be grateful." The kindness of the king..."

As soon as this statement came out, not only Jia Xu Xunchen, but also other personnel looked at him with some suspicion.

Jia Xu glanced at Zhao Yun, then quickly glanced at Fei Qian, then picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened, rolled up his sleeves, and then walked around among the dishes on the table, but did not pick up the dishes. .

Xun Chen frowned. Speaking of which, Xun Chen had a pretty good impression of Zhao Yun, so when he saw what Zhao Yun said, he said: "... if the people of Black Mountain are good people, how can they rob homes and gather people to rebel? Before the king, The leader of Black Mountain was also placed in Yinshan, but he did not show any intention to repent and do good, and still plotted rebellion! Zilong has a kind heart, so don't do bad things..."

Although Xun Chen said this, Zhao Yun lowered his head but still persisted. Because what Fei Qian said just now is actually very clear. The so-called "people" do not include the leaders, but are just ordinary people who have been carried away and have not been on many battlefields.

But Zhao Yun also stayed in Black Mountain for a long time. Do these people really deserve death? Perhaps, but Zhao Yun also knew that among the leaders in Montenegro, some of them were not inherently evil. Most of them were under the mutual oppression of barbarians, nobles and evil governments, and had to take desperate measures to find a way to survive.

Moreover, the butcher knife is easy to lift but difficult to retrieve.

These little leaders may not have relatives and friends, and they may not have some people who have been favored by them. Now Fei Qian is saying that he wants to kill all these little leaders. So in the Han Dynasty, where the knight-errant atmosphere was also relatively important, wouldn't anyone be able to kill them? Keep this in mind and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge?

Therefore, Zhao Yun believes that Black Mountain has declined, so it is not a bad idea to place the blame on Zhang Yan, a dead person, and then give these little leaders a chance to survive.

Ma Yue had also fought with Zhao Yun, and he was worried when he saw Zhao Yun's stubbornness. Although he had not read many books, he also knew that the superior liked the executor, not someone who wanted to add his own opinions to it. His subordinates, so they also said: "The prince ordered Zilong to gather the people of Montenegro, and Zilong just gathered them. I also know that Zilong has good intentions, but how can those Montenegro thieves understand Zilong's kindness? Come on, don't pay attention to it. Those Montenegrin leaders come back to drink..."

Zhao Yun looked up at Fei Qian.

Fei Qian has also been thinking about it. The so-called eradication of the grass is of course the first choice in most people's minds.

But are there any other options?

Although Zhao Yun's situation is a bit unexpected, it is more or less reasonable. If Zhao Yun didn't have such a personality, then he wouldn't be in history. When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he was also at the celebration banquet, and when he was lavishly awarding ministers, he came out and said that the silver, gold and silk from these awards should be turned over to the inventory and used to restore peace and harmony. Develop the economy and people's livelihood.

Fei Qian believes that Zhao Yun is definitely not a person who is greedy for any false fame, but this is what he thinks is right, so he has done that in history, but now, he is standing in front of Fei Qian himself.

Fei Qian took a long breath, and then said slowly: "Zilong, don't you hear the saying, 'Repay kindness with evil, how to repay kindness'?" The so-called "repaying kindness with evil" is actually the practice of those in later generations who only know a few words. It was a product of poor Confucianism. Originally, Confucius's words did not even mean to forgive evildoers.

Among the emperors of the Han family, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the representative. There has always been no reason to forgive randomly, and those who dare to offend will be hunted down for thousands of miles...

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Confucius said, 'Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness'..."

Fei Qian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

What Zhao Yun said is correct. This is the original saying in the Analects of Confucius. Confucius emphasized more on repaying grievances with straightness. This "straightness" is not direct straightness, but upright straightness, which means to use proper means and not to use means that cause more resentment because of old grudges. In other words, what Zhao Yun meant was that Fei Qian should handle this matter with integrity...

"Shan..." Fei Qian nodded and said, "Since Zilong is so insistent... I know that there is something in the south of Daxia, thousands of miles away, in a country full of poison. This thing looks like cotton but not cotton, and the flowers bloom like The velvet, which is as thin as silk, can be stuffed into clothes to keep out the cold... The commander of Heishan Mountain, after receiving Zilong's intercession and being spared the death penalty, took the old road of Bowang Hou and reopened the hollowed-out road to atone for his sin... I wonder what Zilong wants?"

Zhao Yun knelt on the ground, kowtowed and replied: "The king is magnanimous!"

Okay, Fei Qian nodded, and then asked Zhao Yun to get up. That's it, killing people can only be done with a nod. If the cotton from ancient India can be brought here, it might be a step towards changing China's scientific and technological process.

It’s time to climb into technology.

Although cotton is of course the best in America, it’s still hard to get through now...
