Three Kingdoms

Although the victory or defeat of a war mainly depends on the frontal battlefield, if you can do something that can weaken your opponent, you should naturally not take advantage of face and be reluctant to do it. Otherwise, you will not only lose face, but also lose all your fortune.

On the battlefield, among interests, the so-called feelings are just a layer of sugar coating on the surface.

Fei Qian stroked his beard, which he had grown for a long time, thoughtfully.

Fei Qian's beard is not long now, only about three centimeters at most. Because it has never been shaved, it is a bit soft and gathers on the chin. Generally speaking, it will not develop into a full beard.

Everyone's beard is different, just like everyone's personality is different.

Fei Qian suddenly said something like a tongue twister: "Shiyuan, one is the listener who is unintentional, but the speaker is intentional, and the other is the speaker who is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Which one do you think is more difficult?"

Pang Tong said: "Listener?"

Fei Qian also nodded and said: "I think so too... So, among General Yuan's subordinates, which ones are the speakers and which ones are the listeners?" In comparison, Fei Qian, as a superior, is naturally more People who like to talk, that is, people who have an outspoken attitude and say whatever they want. Even if you sometimes hear some complaints or negative words, it is always better than turning a blind eye or having them hidden deep in your heart.

Fangmin's mouth is better than Fangchuan. If you understand it from the front, it is basically understandable. But if you look at it from another perspective, does it also mean that you are in power? Try to have as many speakers as possible and listeners. Less?

The speaker may give up after finishing speaking, but the listener does not. He always feels that what others say has some special meaning, is he rebellious? Are you making insinuations? Or is it too violent? Is it a risk factor? Just like a person who dies with an axe, he doubts his neighbor's son, looks at his steps, color, and words, and does nothing but steals the axe...

The more ghosts a person has in his heart, the more he suspects others are ghosts.

The counselor is a typical representative among them. Because he is basically scheming against others every day, he naturally feels that others are scheming against him every day.

Under Yuan Shao's command, there are strong soldiers and horses, and there are many first- and second-rate counselors. Among them, Tian Feng should be a talker, right? He thinks a lot, talks a lot, and doesn't know how to be polite, so he is disliked by others.

Xu You should also be a good speaker, otherwise he wouldn't be hated by Cao Cao, and it can even be said that his emotional intelligence is a bit low.

Shen Pei can be regarded as an upright person. He is somewhat similar to Xin Ping. In the later period, he lost Yuan Shao's trust because of his relatives.

Feng Ji was basically a listener. If he hadn't told Yuan Shao how Tian Feng was doing in prison, Tian Feng might not have really died...

General Fenwu Jusue, he is said to be a counselor. In fact, he is in the army most of the time, but he also tends to be more talkative. When he was about to fight in Guandu, he was still mumbling that the battle was not appropriate and he might be defeated. Simply...

And Guo Tuma, haha, he is the king of words. He is the best at talking about everything, but he has not actually accomplished anything big. He has a strong physique...

Pang Tong blinked and asked, "A tactic of alienation?"

"Do you have any ideas?" Fei Qian lightly knocked on the table and said, "The people sent to Jizhou have arrived... and are now responsible for improving the farming and mulberry cultivation techniques of the Yecheng generation..." Pang Tong, basically In general, he is almost like half of his own family, but in the traditional custom of the Han Dynasty, Pang Tong is half a fellow villager, a fellow disciple, and even has some kind of kinship relationship in a roundabout way. Even if Pang Tong wants to switch to other forces one day, Unless Fei Qian dies, no one will really believe him.

Pang Tong laughed a few times and said, "You are willing to give it up... But this is fine, it is extremely noble... And even if you talk about political affairs, it is natural and does not attract anyone's attention..."

In the Han Dynasty, farmer was a very good name. It should be roughly similar to the meaning of poor peasant or three generations of red in special periods in later generations. Even Brother Zhu said in his memorial after becoming prime minister that he was a farmer and worked hard in the fields. Nanyang.

And because the yield per mu in the Han Dynasty was not high and there were continuous wars, those who engaged in mulberry farming were undoubtedly as good as meat and potatoes. They did not form gangs or fight for power. Who wouldn't like such people?

A spy should always keep a low profile in order to live a long life. Like the handsome men and women in movies and TV, they attract a lot of attention wherever they go. Being an idol is fine, but if you really want to be a spy, I'm afraid the only word left to describe it is "haha".

Yuan Shao likes people who know how to farm and mulberry, and he also likes ordinary nobles and nobles. As the saying goes, if you ask for something from others, you must be courteous to the virtuous and corporal. The more urgent the request, the more thorough the courtesy. So naturally there are banquets and cultural gatherings. If you are serious, you can of course take the opportunity to find out something, and even change something.

"But..." Pang Tong shook his big head and said, "Aren't you afraid that these people will turn around and sell you out?"

"Afraid!" Fei Qian said with a smile, "But is it useful? I'm not bragging. The best farming techniques at the moment are all mine... As long as they are exposed, I will claim that my technology has been stolen... …”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "That's about it... Anyway, as long as you are prepared... I think if we want to do it, we should mainly target people from Jizhou... The main battle and the main defense will inevitably fight, so we might as well go with the flow..."

"A native of Jizhou?" Fei Qian pondered.

Pang Tong explained: "If you want to fight Gongsun, it should be expected that the people of Jizhou will also support it strongly. This is because Gongsun was originally in Youzhou and marched south. The people of Jizhou were already worried, but Gongsun still killed him. Liu Bo'an, what else can you say? But since Gongsun has been defeated, the people of Jizhou may not be willing to continue to support Yuan Danan in his northern expedition... At least they have doubts, and this is an opportunity that can be taken advantage of..."

Fei Qian nodded in agreement.

Not everyone can take a long-term view, make plans for the next ten or even twenty years, and implement them step by step. The vast majority of people still focus on the present, and as the saying goes, live every moment of life to the fullest...

After working so hard to defeat Gongsun, you should take a breather and rest your feet, right?

It’s human nature and inevitable.

"Besides..." Pang Tong laughed a few times, "There is another person... we might as well pay attention to..."

Fei Qian leaned forward and got together with Pang Tong. The two of them became more and more excited as they talked. They let out a creepy laugh, which made Huang Xu, who was in charge of the guard down the hall, couldn't help but burst out. I had goosebumps all over my body and shivered.

…………………………

Ji County.

After several days of continuous siege, the people inside and outside Ji County were really fired up and entered a state of madness. Countless soldiers and people inside and outside took turns fighting and fighting in each city section and at each city gate.

Outside the city, high wooden platforms were erected, some even higher than the city walls. Every day from morning to night, Qiang archers climbed up the wooden platforms and competed with those in Ji County. Soldiers shoot at each other.

Without a sight and unable to control the wind direction, most of the soldiers, whether they are Qiang or Han, cannot guarantee the hit rate of their arrows. However, if there are more people in the crowd, there will always be someone who shoots the arrows. A ten-sided die always throws out one and two.

Every moment, someone falls, every minute, someone dies. At this moment, a human life may only be worth an arrow, a sword, or simply worthless...

At the foot of Ji County.

Ma Chao exhaled a long stream of white smoke.

Looking at the blood-stained city walls of Ji County and the situation of the Qiang people around him, Ma Chao frowned tightly.

The weather is getting colder, which is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Qiang people in the wild. The Qiang people originally planned to come to Han to visit relatives and eat and drink. What kind of local specialties would they bring to their doorsteps?

As a result, facing the current situation, the Qiang people could only either build a shed in the forest, or dig a nest directly near the few tents, and put all kinds of skins and cloth robes on them. He had tattered and disheveled hair on his body, and a pair of glowing green eyes, blowing white smoke in the cold wind and frost, just like a sharp brother who stood alone in the Han Dynasty.

Teams that went around plundering came back empty-handed most of the time. After all, they still couldn't find enough food and grass in the surrounding areas. Therefore, these Qiang people were like hungry wolves and starving ghosts on the grassland. Without food, he became more anxious and cruel.

The surrounding animals and birds were all in a state of death. Even the vole holes that were three feet underground were blocked by the Qiang people. They then dug in layer by layer and found not only the vole and his family, but also the whole family. All the life savings of these voles were unceremoniously swept away, and then they happily lit up a bonfire, skinned them and roasted them casually.

Of course, voles are also limited.

What's more, after seeing such ferocious Qiang people, those voles that were lucky enough to survive fled their homes one after another. It can be believed that after this effective control action by the Qiang people, the three pests in the fields around Tianshui Ji County will be reduced in the new year. By the time, there will definitely be a more satisfactory new look.

However, the Qiang people now do not feel the happiness of national integration at all. In order to maintain the physical strength of the attack, they have begun to slaughter the small number of sheep they brought with them.

If all these sheep are eaten and Ji County is still powerful enough to break through, then it is very likely that the horses will continue to be killed...

Killing sheep is okay, but once it reaches the level of killing horses, the Qiang people will immediately kill horses. However, nomadic people always bring more war horses with them when they go on an expedition, and drive the horses together. In this way, during the long-distance attack, they can constantly replace the horses, so that the war horses can maintain an ideal physical condition. Moreover, the milk-producing mare can also provide part of the supplies.

Cattle, sheep, and horses, large and small, are just like the fields of the farming people. They are the most precious things for the Qiang people. War horses, in particular, are not only the basis for their survival on the grasslands, but also their friends and partners.

Therefore, if they really want to kill their friends and partners on that day, the Qiang people will hold a prayer for their friends and partners, and will kneel down in front of their friends and partners, thanking their friends and partners for taking the first step in the body, and then someone will He would take a big ax and cut off the horse's head directly to reduce the pain of the war horse. These slain war horses will be quickly dismembered and then thrown into the cauldrons that have been boiling for a long time.

In the end, these Qiang people will tear apart their friends and partners, just like their ancestors. In the face of survival, flesh and blood is always more important than friends and partners.

Ma Chao had tried his best, and he felt like he was going crazy.

Although Ji County is not the kind of steep pass that makes people feel weak, but to the Qiang people, such a city is like a rock, which cannot be moved or broken.

Facing the Jixian city wall like a natural chasm, Ma Chao was helpless.

Ladders, high platforms, rushing carts, and even now, the Qiang people have begun to use the few remaining copper and iron tools to try to dig through the city wall, and even use the weapons in their hands, but they still have nothing to gain from Ji County. Method.

Two days ago, the raiding team who searched everywhere finally captured more than 20 Han people in the wild. The Qiang people tied them up with ropes and tied them under Ji County, saying that if Ji County was willing to open the city gate and surrender, The Qiang people swore in the name of their ancestors that they would only take food and drink and would never harm anyone in the city...

Then Jiang Jiong, who was on the top of the city, ordered the two dozen unlucky guys to be shot directly.

With the fierce competition, the rolling stones and wood prepared in Ji County were quickly used up, and the kerosene was also consumed in the first few fierce Qiang gate offensives. In the end, only the fire oil was left. boiling water.

To the south of Hebei County is the Weishui River. Getting water is not a problem, but fuel is a big problem!

But later, Jiang Ji suddenly discovered that there was no need for boiling water at all. The water hoisted directly from the Wei River was poured directly. The increasingly cold weather would put a continuous barrier on the Qiang people who were attacking the city. harm.

The Qiang people who charged and attacked the city were able to retreat successfully even if they were not injured. However, after the blood in their bodies subsided and the secretion of adrenaline stopped, they did not have enough food and could only sleep in the wild. In just one night, these Qiang people Symptoms of wind and cold often appear, and the Qiang people are accustomed to clinging to each other for warmth...

Although Quinoa Xiangli is becoming more silent day by day, and has even begun to live alone and no longer discusses countermeasures with Ma Chao, Ma Chao can still feel that Quinoa Xiangli's eyes are like a knife from behind him from time to time. The darkness came, and he didn't know when it would prick Ma Chao and him with holes.

"Attack! Attack! Don't stop! Just a little bit, we can capture the city! We can eat well and drink well..." Ma Chao kept encouraging, but as time went by, even his own heart I couldn't help but have an idea arise in my mind, if this continues, can we really capture the city?
