Three Kingdoms

Cold comes and summer comes, spring passes and winter comes, and before you know it, the end of the year is approaching.

On this day, Fei Qian was sitting in the patio of the front yard, reading the letters that seemed to last forever. Suddenly, a person came from outside the door and peered into the house.

Fei Qian looked up and found that it was Zao Zhi. He was so happy that he even forgot to put down the letter in his hand. He just took it and ran out of the door to greet him.

The two couldn't help laughing when they saw each other, and they were extremely happy.

Fei Qian asked: "Brother Xian, how did you come here? Your Majesty is actually willing to let you leave this time?"

Zao Zhi said with a smile: "Thanks to my brother's letter, Jia Yan learned that my brother actually studied with Pang Degong, and the governor Liu Kaiyong recruited students, so Jia Yan was willing to let me go. But brother, didn't you say you want to give me more?" Did I write a letter? Why did I only receive one..."

"Ah?" Fei Qian thought to himself, can I tell you what I forgot, so he quickly changed the topic, looked back, and introduced him to Pang Tong who followed him curiously, "Come on, let me introduce you two. This is Zao Zhi from Yingchuan Changshe, Zao Zijing. He has a profound family background and has profound research on agriculture and mulberry..." He praised Zao Zhi so much that he felt a little embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"This one, um, Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, um, that's it... let's go in first..." Fei Qian said that he had been tortured by Pang Tong in the past few days. He was annoyed when he saw Pang Tong and didn't want to introduce...

"Hey! What do you mean..." Pang Tong was quite dissatisfied.

Fei Qian has Fei Qian's advantages, but Pang Tong also has Pang Tong's advantages.

Some time ago, Pang Tong suffered a loss, so he became overly cautious and demanded that all the projects that had been tested before should be eliminated. Therefore, Fei Qian was miserable. In the past few days, Pang Tong was crushed by Pang Tong in the Classics and History subset many times...

Fei Qian pretended not to hear anything and just pulled Zao Zhi and walked inside.

Anyway, after this period of time, I have become very familiar with Pang Tong's bickering and making harmless jokes. Moreover, Pang Tong has finally gained the upper hand these days, and the sharp-tongued man often seizes the opportunity to ridicule. Feiqian...

After Zao Zhi took his seat, Fei Qian recalled what Zao Zhi had just said and asked, "Liu Governor Kaiyong? When did it happen?" He has been immersed in books these past few days and hasn't paid much attention to it. external affairs.

"It must have been a few days ago. I also saw the information about Kaiyong recruiting students in Jingxiang and convinced Jiayan..."

As Zao Zhi spoke, he looked enviously at the pile of letters piled up like a mountain. After getting the consent of the two of them, he carefully picked up a letter and started to read it. He was fascinated by it. I actually forgot that I was chatting with Fei Qian and Pang Tong, and just read a book quietly...

Pang Tong smiled and didn't take it seriously. He also found a scroll of letters and read them. For him, these small mountain-like collections of classics and history are more about reviewing the past and learning the new.

Pang Tong could easily agree with someone like Zao Zhi who forgets other things while reading books. People who love books as much as their lives are okay in most cases. Moreover, Zao Zhi is a literary and elegant person at first glance. He is definitely not like Fei Qian always loves to bully people...

"It's time to recruit new students..." Fei Qian had no intention of reading for the time being and could not help but murmur to himself.

In Fei Qian's impression, it seems that Zhuge Liang came to Jingxiang after this period of time, and then began to bloom with his bright and colorful brilliance.

There is not much time left for yourself...

Next, there will be a period of anti-Dong craze in various places, and then the 15th or 18th Route princes troops will enter Hulao Pass... Well, anyway, this seems to be the impression...

Then there was the burning of Luoyang...

Fei Qian suddenly felt a little bored, so he stopped reading the slip. He looked at Pang Tong and Zao Zhi who were looking down at the book, and walked to the backyard with the slip.

The tablet in his hand was different. The difference was not in appearance, but in content.

Although he was hit hard by Pang Tongyi again and again on the classics and history, Fei Qian still didn't spend much time on the classics and history. Instead, he spent more time studying books like the one in his hand - "Six Tao".

"Six Tao" is titled Wen, Wu, Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, and Dog respectively, and explains all aspects required for war in six major aspects. It can be said that this set of slips is the real treasure of Mr. Pound's box.

Pang Degong followed Huang-Lao's school, and Huang-Lao's school not only included the ideological and philosophical theory of "the Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao", but also the military books brought by famous military masters like Taigong Wang.

"Six Tao" was written in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It is the culmination of Huang Lao's Taoist military thought. According to legend, it was written by Taigong Wang.

"Six Tao" advocates the victory of weakness over strength, concealment and quietness. It also quotes the book of "Yellow Emperor" and discusses the theories and principles of governing the country, running the army and guiding war in the form of a dialogue between King Wen and King Wu of Zhou and Lu Wang. In principle, such a set of letters is no less than giving Fei Qian the best window to comprehensively understand the operating mode of ancient wars.

"Six Tao" is broad and profound, with many projects.

For example, the "Dragon Tao" in "Six Tao" is divided into king's wing, discussion of generals, selection of generals, chief generals, generals' power, mobilizing troops, Yin Fu, Yin Shu, military situation, strange weapons, five tones, military expedition, and agricultural implements. There are a total of thirteen chapters, ranging from the formation of troops, to the specific selection of one's own generals, the discipline of the troops, and even details on how to issue military orders, deliver messages, how to prepare various types of ordnance, etc., all are elaborated and explained in detail. …

To chew down such a tome, Fei Qian really spent a lot of energy on it...

For Fei Qian, it was through Pang Degong that he came into contact with precious books such as "Six Tao", and he truly gained an overall understanding of the operation of ancient warfare.

Due to the low level of tools and means of production and living in ancient warfare, many modern warfare tactics are completely inapplicable - such as leapfrog. Anyone who dares to do leapfrog in ancient times is really seeking death...

Different from the modern model of pulling the trigger to kill the enemy from a long distance, the death distance in ancient wars was mostly within a hundred meters, or even face to face...

A person may be able to easily accept seeing the enemy's head crack like a watermelon in the scope, with brains spilling out, but he may not be able to accept the hot blood splashing face to face...

And the biggest difference is that it is quite difficult to supply. Even if airdrops are not possible in modern times, at least there are trains and ships. In ancient times, we could only rely on two or four legs.

But one thing is the same, war is money and food. Without money and food, everything will come to nothing.

In the final analysis, besides money and food, it is still money and food.

Fei Qian suddenly felt something in his heart. He returned to the room and found a few books about Nongsang. He held them in front of Zao Zhi. He put the books next to Zao Zhi with a smile and said, "Xian brother, this is It’s a few books about Nongsang that Brother Yu specially found..."

"Ah? Really? That's great!" Zao Zhi was extremely happy. Books on classics and history are easy to find, but books about farming are really hard to find. When he heard that Fei Qian's books were all about farming and mulberry, he was overjoyed. I thanked Fei Qian repeatedly, took a volume and read it happily...
