Three Kingdoms

Fei sneaked to the Guanghan front line not only to see the situation on the specific front, but also to avoid the hustle and bustle of Langzhong. Since the launch of trade in Langzhong, officials in Langzhong have been extremely busy almost every day. They have to communicate and discuss matters with the big families in Sichuan and Sichuan, and they also have to re-measure the land and settle land taxes. In addition, Langzhong has become a vaguely popular place. The important commercial route to Hanzhong has prosperous water and land transportation. The commercial profits in this can be imagined. The constant flow of greedy people makes Langzhong unable to be quiet at all. Sometimes it is indeed too noisy.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Ping's four years are coming to an end, and the time window suitable for entering the army is slowly closing. Therefore, for the war, the normal choices are two, either seize the time to advance, or delay it until the next time. Keep fighting next year.

Having said that, before the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian sometimes had some doubts about why ancient wars sometimes lasted for months or even years. Thinking about it now, it was normal. After all, transportation was inconvenient in the Han Dynasty, and soldiers in one place Going to another place takes a lot of time. In addition, the battle cannot be agreed upon by both parties. They sit down together and fight with each other, and whoever loses gets out. Therefore, it is inevitable that the time will be extended by going back and forth.

When Fei sneaked into Guanghan, the first person he met was naturally Xu Shu.

"At this time, it will probably snow in Bingbei, right?" Fei Qian patted the city wall of Guanghan, "How are the supplies prepared? If there are any shortages, please report them together. While the snow has not blocked the roads, we can Everything that comes at once is shipped..."

Xu Shu stood beside Fei Qian, nodded when he heard the words, and then said: "My lord is considerate of the soldiers, it is a blessing for us!"

Fei Qian waved his hand, indicating that Xu Shu didn't need to say these polite words.

Even if there are sleds in the snow, it is a test for both people and livestock. Therefore, it is best not to march and transport when it is freezing. In this year, both sides of the war have a tacit understanding of a truce as soon as winter comes. A state of desperation.

However, Xu Shu didn't want to just read about the autumn and winter of the fourth year of Yan Ping's reign. After a while, he pointed his finger forward and said: "Now we use four cities as our body. I am dedicated while the enemy is scattered, and I am safe while the enemy is in chaos." , it’s time to defeat the enemy... Below Qi County, there are two large camps on the left and right, each with five thousand soldiers. There are also eight thousand troops in the city. Although they are many, they each have their own subordinates. If you attack them, you can take advantage of the gaps. , confuse his will, use thunder to break through the door, and he will be defeated!"

There is nothing wrong with what Xu Shu said. Although Guan Yu in Li County took over the Sichuan and Shu troops that originally belonged to Pang Xi, the gaps and disputes between the Dongzhou soldiers and the Sichuan and Shu soldiers will not be resolved because of Wu Sheng's bonus. There is no reduction, not to mention that Guan Yu has not yet reached the state of continuous deification in later generations. It is already very remarkable that he can generally control it now.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, as long as you move quickly enough, attack directly on the main body of Qixian County, and then contain the camp outside Qixian City with the left and right wings, break through the gate of Qixian City in one fell swoop, and defeat Guan Yu, then between the two camps on the left and right outside the city, If there are 10,000 soldiers inside, there is a high chance that they will lose their fighting spirit, and surrendering on the spot is even possible.

However, although Xu Shu already has a plan, Fei Qian does not intend to make arrangements immediately. "I think... before we take action, there is still one person we can meet..."

Xu Shu followed Fei Qian's gaze and said suddenly: "Fake people?"

Fei Qian smiled slightly and nodded.

Xu Shu frowned and said, "Wei Wenchang is really ignorant and should be severely punished!"

"Of course we should be punished, but..." Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "The war is about to take place, so let's note it for now... and the act of cheating people is also of some benefit to us..."

To be a good leader, you must at least give your subordinates a hand in their butts instead of just blaming them randomly. Some people who sit in leadership positions sometimes only do things perfunctorily. In fact, it does not mean that they do not understand the truth, but that they are either lazy or unable to do it. Leaders who have climbed up from the grassroots level know what things are prone to go wrong, and which subordinates are prone to problems. In addition to keeping an eye on reminders, if something does go wrong, they need to be able to take over in time and put things in perspective. Come back, instead of pushing your subordinates to take the blame, and then push one less one...

Just like Wei Yan.

Is Wei Yan capable?

There must be some, otherwise when Wei Yan was in a place like Hanzhong, he was not only able to control the place, but also able to resist Cao Wei's invasion. Even after Zhuge died in the Northern Expedition, he was still so powerful that people were afraid of it. But Wei Yan obviously had problems, otherwise Nor will someone put a sack on your back.

Just like this time the cheater Wang Duhu.

When Wei Yan abducted, um, kidnapped King Duhu, Da Ji Ci used the name Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west. But in fact, Wei Yan never reported to Fei Qian at all, even when he went to Langzhong before. He didn't report this incident specifically, but when he arrived in Guanghan, he saw that Du Hu was definitely going to see Fei Qian, and the paper could no longer keep the fire, so he came to apologize to Fei Qian, which made Fei Qian very angry...

But after he was angry, he still had to rub the restless Wei Yan's butt.

Go back and beat him twice more to teach him a lesson.

From a certain point of view, Fei Qian himself would behave similarly to Wei Yan, wooing people who are willing to lean towards him. Therefore, overall, it is not a big mistake for Wei Yan, it is just a mistake. Failure to report in time, or...

Fei Qian rubbed the beard on his chin, and suddenly thought of something. What if this was not Wei Yan's deliberate concealment, but Wei Yan's own character trait?

This is somewhat interesting...

Then the whole thing changed from being deliberately concealed to being too independent...

Judging from the historical results, Wei Yan also has such characteristics, so after being covered with a sack, no one in Sichuan and Shu complained about it! It can be seen that his personality is too independent and he is obviously separated from the masses. Taking this kind of lone ranger route is not necessarily a good thing, Comrade Wen Chang.

Fei Qian couldn't help but glance at Wei Yan aside, trying to figure out how to carve out Wei Yan's somewhat awkward personality. Hmm, do you want to find a time to hold some kind of team-building activity?

Wei Yan seemed to notice something, and felt a chill in his body. He quickly turned around and looked around, but found nothing unusual. He scratched the back of his head in surprise.

In the evening, the city of Guanghan is brightly lit and bustling with people.

The barbarians in new clothes looked at each other, greeted each other happily, and waited for the start of General Zhengxi's feast. The wealthy and powerful people who came from around Guanghan after hearing the news also greeted each other politely and chatted politely. They naturally kept a distance from the people and were clearly distinguishable.

Although their positions were different, when Fei Qian appeared, he still received great support from both sides, whether it was a Taoist man or a Sichuan and Shu tycoon. These free flattery words, simple or profound words, kept coming. If these piled-up words have their own weight, I'm afraid Fei Qian won't be able to take three steps...

After three rounds of drinking, Du Hu stood up with the wine cup in his hands, came to the front of General Fei Qian of the Expedition to the West, raised his hands to toast Fei Qian, and then said with a smile: "I heard the general's order, from now on First, if you go out of the mountain voluntarily, you will not be a slave to others and you can build a stronghold on your own, I wonder if you are serious about that?"

In an instant, countless moral eyes suddenly focused on Fei Qian and Du Hu.

Du Hu's body was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether he was nervous, excited, or both.

Whether it was during the Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms period, the ethnic groups around China, whether it was the Xiongnu or the Qiang people, or even the Nanman people in Sichuan and Shu, and the Baiyue people in Soochow, basically did not have much human rights. It was not their turn when the time came, and they served as cannon fodder when there was a war. If not for this, the Southern Huns in Yuvluo would not have rebelled because of this, and the Xiqiang would not have rebelled and surrendered, and surrendered and rebelled again.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu, and Wu all took measures to recruit ethnic minorities to supplement the army. Cao Cao's Wuhuan cavalry, Liu Bei's elite white soldiers, and Sun Quan's army also had a large number of Baiyue soldiers. However, without exception, these soldiers were not natural. Instead of forming a system, they became the troops directly under the monarch, or they were broken up and became the tribes of various generals.

As a general's tribe, it basically became the general's personal property. For these properties, the generals have the responsibility to provide for them, and they also have the right to deal with and divide them. In other words, these people who have become tribes have no independent rights.

This is what makes Duhu, the king of the tribe, excited. He is not against the tribe system, but he does not want his people to be like fish meat when they get off the mountain, being cut off by one person and another...

In the huge hall, it suddenly became quiet, and the sound of everyone's breathing could only be vaguely heard. Everyone was paying attention, and their ears were perked, for fear of missing a word or a half.

Fei Qian smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Ran Ye!"

Du Hu was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him loudly.

Suddenly there was an uproar around him.

This is the mess that Wei Yan didn't wipe clean...

As a powerful right-wing noble from Sichuan and Sichuan, he doesn't necessarily like the uncivilized people, but the problem is that the free population is not so particular. Even if it is used to supplement the labor of cattle and horses, it is not bad!

What's more, Chinese people have a natural enthusiasm for the word "free". Of course, foreign people are the same, and they don't even mind taking off their clothes and entering the supermarket.

It’s no longer free now?

Xu Shu glared at Wei Yan, who had his head lowered, smoothed his beard, and then withdrew his gaze.

"General..." Someone among the Sichuan and Shu tycoons couldn't help but said, "I don't know the truth and don't obey the king. How can I just go down to the mountain and build a stronghold at will? If I don't pay taxes, isn't it a violation of ethics?" Corrupting Chao Gang? This matter is quite inappropriate. General, please think twice!"

So far, the Han Dynasty has adopted similar methods for dealing with barbarians.

The first type is barbarian autonomy. The tribal leader only needs to surrender in name and pay some symbolic taxes. All other affairs are managed by the tribal leader.

The premise of this method is that the barbarians are all in the lands that were originally barbarians, such as deep mountains and old forests, such as the depths of the grasslands, which were originally areas that were not within the reach of the Han people. Naturally, it is the same whether there is control or not, and it can appear on the surface Surrender is already considered good.

The second type is to compile the people.

When the conditions gradually mature, the Han Dynasty will send officials to govern, turn the barbarians into household members, and manage them according to the methods of managing Han people. All taxes, taxes, and corvees will be collected in accordance with regulations. If we can get to this step, it will be a leap. Once you decide to do this, you must make very thorough preparations. Otherwise, if these people flee again, the local governor will be responsible, and according to the law, they must also punish these fleeers and preside over these affairs. Anyone who has done so will be criticized by public opinion and may even be dismissed from office. The strong became soldiers and the weak supplemented the people. This was the measure taken by the Central Plains dynasty to increase the population and make up for losses.

Therefore, under such circumstances, many people will choose to divide and digest these relatively mature barbarian places internally, instead of reporting them to the Han Dynasty seriously. As the saying goes, it is better to do less than to do more, and they will be full and full. With less trouble, why not do it?

Normally speaking, merging into other Sichuan and Sichuan surnames is not completely bad for these people, because no matter whether they are people or other barbarians, they are all a little wild. If they are bullied too much, they will naturally cause trouble. Well, unless you really meet those stupid and inhumane members of the noble clan, it is generally better than just being in the mountains.

Of course, it's just a little stronger.

But if the Jin people can go down the mountain and establish a village on their own, and then do not rely on any gentry or noble family, this will naturally be much better for the Jin people.

However, because of this, the surrounding noble families with big surnames did not get any benefits, but they also had to take care of local defense, tax collection and other duties. If there was any conflict over water and mountains due to the establishment of a stronghold, it would be affected. Naturally, he would never like any involvement.

As a result, in the lobby, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. On one side were seven or eight civilian commanders headed by Miren Du Hu, all of whom stared at the opposite side with eager eyes. On the other side were Sichuan and Shu tycoons. Almost all of them slightly raised their heads towards Zhi Ren, expressing their disdain for barbaric guys like Zhi Ren.

Xu Shu turned around and glared at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan knew that the promise he had made to Du Hu had put General Zhengxi in a bit of a dilemma, so he lowered his head silently, with a look of shame on his face.

"Haha..." General Zhengxi Fei Qian smiled and broke the deadlock, "This is the best of both worlds, so why bother with such a dispute? Come on, have a full drink of this cup, and then listen to one of the words !”
