Three Kingdoms

Before Fei Qian received the information from Xiangyang, he was conducting a research report on the autumn harvest situation in Guanzhong. Thanks to the large amount of bamboo in Sichuan and Shu as raw materials, the price and popularity of paper have been further improved. At the same time, many noble officials began to use paper for official documents, which reduced a lot of weight.

However, there are some more problems now. For example, the elegant style of Pian Si and Li Liu has begun to rear its head again.

Fei Qian frowned and skipped ten pieces at a glance, uh, ten lines at a glance, muttering in his mind whether it was necessary to reiterate the rules again. He had emphasized them before, but as time went by, these guys started to make the same mistakes again.

Ancient Chinese classical literature was hated by many people in later generations, and was even regarded as a daunting task. However, in fact, this was not because the ancient Chinese people deliberately made things difficult for later generations of students, but because the things, objects, and processes encountered by the ancient people were not described like It will be so complicated in later generations.

For example, for example, the paper provided by Fei Qian is mainly made of bamboo, sometimes mixed with kudzu, bark and other materials. At most, it can be added with modifiers, good, bad, average, that's it. However, How many varieties of paper were there in later generations? Do I need to add various attributive adjectives to make it clear to others which kind of paper it is referring to?

Therefore, people in the Han Dynasty also wrote down daily common sayings, which were not "parallel" but called "san". Since the Han Dynasty, scholars have gradually absorbed many elements of poetry and poetry when writing articles, paying attention to antithesis and rhyme. By the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they had reached their peak, pursuing novelty and brilliance, just like Kong Yiji's four writing methods...

Then it doesn’t mean that you can read clearly just by recognizing two characters...

In fact, this custom followed the former Qin Dynasty, or it was brought out from the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as in ancient China, there was a very important sign that distinguished the nobility from the common people, that is, the nobility knew how to read, while the common people were Baiding. Therefore, it later evolved into Xiaozhuan and various variations were produced. The purpose was not to let the common people understand knowledge and be able to read, but to strengthen the gap in status between nobles and common people. The most typical one is Chu Yue, which is the Jiangdong area. The researched bird and insect script is also called bird and insect seal script.

Regardless of whether it is the increased difficulty in writing fonts or the writing format of Parallel Four and Liliu, it is actually the self-promotion behavior of some nobles and nobles who pursue self-pleasure, self-showing, and hope to be different from the common people, and some of the later generations. Idols, or bricks, deliberately mix in some English words when speaking, which almost means the same thing.

From the actual function point of view, this kind of brilliant writing style of Parallel Four and Liliu, sometimes in order to forcefully conform to the format and show literary talent, often does not hesitate to use words to harm the intention, and writes things that are obviously very clear, clouding the clouds and mountains, inexplicably. It's like maybe in a certain high-precision professional field, some compounds or new structures have been discovered abroad, but China has not translated them yet, and then use them in English, which is understandable, but in order to pursue their own high-end style, After talking a lot of nonsense, I have to follow up with a "missing"...

Oops, I have such a bad temper...

The more he read, the more impatient he became. Fei Qian threw the text on the desk with a bang, and said to Sima Fu, "Mark it, send this back, and let this guy write another one!" 』

Fei Qian read it for a long time, worried that something important was missing, but he ended up saying three things. First, Longyou's water conservancy has been eroded by wind and sand, and some places have accumulated siltation, requiring manual maintenance; second, there are some deficiencies in Zhuanghe's harvest in various places, and Longyou is more serious; third, the public's mood is relatively stable, but The price of food on the market has risen a lot...

Just three simple sentences, forced to come out - well, Fei Qian estimated it, at least a thousand words - for example, when talking about Zhuang He, he had to add something in front of "The mist is about to stop" , The mountain apes are chirping; the sunset is fading, and the scales are leaping..."

Sima Fu responded repeatedly and took the notes on the text without mentioning it.

Pang Tong came in a hurry and signaled with his eyes.

Fei Qian stood up and called Xun You, and then the three of them turned around the screen and sat down again in the small hall at the back.

"What's going on in Jingzhou?" Fei Qian asked.

Speaking of which, Fei Qian got the news of Xiangyang's capture somewhat slower than Cao Cao. Because of the military lines, it was impossible for anyone to dare to cross the two military lines to report the news, so he got the news from Yuzhou, and the natural speed Can't be compared.

"Liu Jingsheng's son surrendered to Cao Cao?" 』

Fei Qian frowned.

Historically, Liu Cong surrendered after Liu Biao died of illness. He had some hatred towards Cao Cao, but it was not big. At most, it could only be said that Cao Cao took advantage of the situation. But now it was Liu Biao who died under the attack of Cao Jun. Strictly speaking, There was a revenge for killing his father, but he was surrendered?

"After hearing this, I pray that my father can be buried intact..." Pang Tong added at the side.

"..." Fei Qian was silent.

This kind of behavior is really difficult to evaluate according to the moral standards of a big man. Just like how Sun Ce once knelt down for Sun Jian's body, can you say that Sun Ce is a waste just based on this? After all, it is "filial piety", like Liu Bang, after all, there is only one.

"The human heart is like running water. It is easy to go with it, but difficult to go against it..." Fei Qian shook his head and sighed. To say that Liu Cong was unfilial was because he wanted to bury his father lavishly. If it was true that Liu Cong was filial, he was completely giving up his father's inheritance.

Pang Tong gave a general account of the Battle of Xiangyang, and concluded that the Cai family made a considerable contribution, which caused civil strife in Xiangyang first, so that although it had a fortified city, it still could not hold on for a long time.

Then Pang Tong introduced the general situation in Jingzhou...

Generally speaking, the area from the north of Wancheng to Wuguan is jointly controlled by the Pang and Huang families and can be regarded as a close alliance with Fei Qian. Then from Xinye, Fancheng, Xiangyang, and then to Dangyang, it is newly occupied by Cao Cao, or It is said that the area that is being occupied, and then from Dangyang to the south, Jiangling and Jiangxia, is now in the hands of Sun Quan.

"Jingzhou has been divided into three parts..." Pang Tong concluded, then looked at Fei Qian, "Xiahou Yuanrang is stationed in Xiangyang, Cao Zilian retreats to Fancheng... On the Jiangdong side, they just know that Zhou Gongjin marched into Jiangxia, and Cheng Demou guarded Jiangling..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly. There is less information in Jiangdong, which is inevitable. After all, the distance is far away, and even the transmission of information is not that convenient.

"Although Xiangyang has fallen into the hands of the Cao family..." Fei Qian pondered, then looked at Pang Tong and Xun You, "We still send troops to Fancheng according to the original plan!" 』

Pang Tong and Xun You looked at each other, and then nodded.

……(?д?(?д?)……

Xu Huang led the troops and horses and was approaching Wuguan.

Brother Huang raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky. He wondered if he remembered the promise made by those people back then to "win fame"...

The military target this time is Fancheng.

Liao Hua, the guard general of Wuguan, and Zhuge Liang, the official of Wuguan who had just taken office as a refugee, met each other on the left side of the road.

Xu Huang dismounted, exchanged a few words of greetings, and then set off again. When the three of them arrived at Wuguan, they watched the soldiers camp and repair while naturally talking about Jingzhou.

"Cao Jun will definitely lead his troops down, and they want to capture Jingnan first..." Liao Hua naturally wanted to show off, and he also had some speculations about the current situation in Jingzhou, "Then we will come and fight decisively." Or order the guard general not to fight with our army when he does not return. 』

Xu Huang nodded. Zhuge Liang also agreed with Liao Hua's speculation. Because this is a natural choice, Cao Jun cannot just watch Jiang Ling being taken away by Jiang Dong so easily. He must take action. Maybe at this moment, Cao Jun has already launched an action...

"When Cao's army goes south, Fancheng will be heavily defended. Zhuge Liang said.

Xu Huang glanced at Zhuge and said, "Does Kong Ming have any good ideas?" 』

"Although Fancheng may not be high and densely guarded, Cao's army still has more than ten thousand defenders, which is twice as many as our army. If we go straight to attack the city, the damage will be heavy... This is the next best option..." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

It's not that you can't attack the city, but it's obviously not cost-effective to waste soldiers on the city wall.

Zhuge Liang suggested sending an army to the southeast of the city to build a camp and build fortifications, cut off the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang, and force Cao's army to leave the city to fight - "If they don't come out and our camp is completed, Cao's army will not be able to join forces when they return, and it will be like this inside Fancheng." It is easy to win against a trapped beast! 』

Xu Huang looked at the map and Zhuge Liang's proposed location for building a camp. He smiled slightly and said, "This is also the hometown of Kong Ming. I wonder if you would like to go there?" 』

Fancheng is located to the north of Xiangyang, across the Han River. If a barrier is built to block the river, it means that Fancheng has become an isolated city. Cao Jun will certainly not be able to sit back and watch, and once an attack comes out of the city, he will fall into his hands and can use it to his advantage. Use the powerful fighting power of the hussars and horses instead of wasting it under the city walls.

So Xu Huang led Liao Hua and Zhuge and two thousand troops as the vanguard to Wancheng, then pushed to the southeast of Fancheng to re-establish the camp, and he led the rest of the troops to follow...

As Zhuge and others expected, Cao Cao had already led his troops south to prepare to attack Jiangling.

Although Cao Cao's plan for Jingzhou this time was not as easy and comfortable as in history, overall it was still a good harvest. At least after entering the Xiangyang warehouse where Liu Biao had saved for many years and counting Xiangyang's belongings, Cao Cao suddenly felt a pain on his shoulders. The burden seems to be lighter.

Jingzhou is rich...

So now we only have Xiangyang and northern Jingzhou. If Jingzhou Nanjun and southern Jingzhou are also in our own hands, what will it be like?

In history, Cao Cao launched the Battle of Chibi without any preparation, probably because Jingzhou got too much and it was too easy, and then suddenly drifted away.

So now Cao Cao finally couldn't hold back. On the one hand, he ordered Yu Jin to prepare to attack from Xincheng and cut off the Jiangdong waterway. On the other hand, he led Cao Ren, Cao Zhendianwei and others to march into Jiangling.

Before leaving, Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun's hand and told him: "The expedition to the east of the Yangtze River will take at most two months. After Jiangling is calmed down, it will inevitably turn back. My dear brother, if you can defend Xiangyang, it will be a great achievement. If the hussars attack, be careful not to fight with them." The enemy waves are fighting! 』

Xiahou Dun naturally agreed.

When Cao Cao went south, his first stop was Dangyang.

In terms of the sharpness of the current field battles, the Hussars can be ranked first, followed by Cao Cao's command, which is mainly composed of the Qingzhou Army, and then the Jiangdong soldiers can be counted. Of course, if they are on the water and on the ship, I am afraid it will be the other way around.

Therefore, Cao Cao also thought that he could not let Jiangdong's soldiers strictly guard the city, but had to mobilize Jiangdong's soldiers to go out of the city to fight in the field. So he discussed with Cao Ren: "I'm afraid that Jiangdong will not leave the city and will defend by the city, delaying the time..."

"Maybe we can't send them to the west of Jiangling..." Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "This is also a good strategy, but I'm afraid that if Jiangdong is well-prepared, we might be ambushed." 』

Cao Ren laughed and said: "Jiangdong soldiers are good at boats and boats, but they are not good at mountains and forests. How can they dare to rush in and set up ambush in the wild?" 』

Speaking of which, how powerful is Zhou Yu? Historically, even Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to him during the Battle of Chibi. If he was really wary, Zhou Yu's strategy might not succeed so easily. So it is natural for Cao Ren to despise Jiangdong Bing. It makes sense.

After discussion, Cao Cao also agreed to let Cao Ren lead the army out to lure Jiangdong soldiers into being fooled...

In fact, the methods of war are often the same.

Even in the era of hot weapons in later generations, when the Japanese invaded China, from the Northeast to North China, and then to East China, they fought all the way through dividing their troops, outflanking, and besieging them. I can't resist it no matter what.

Then the Japanese invaders met another opponent. After the red MVP, it was difficult to use the three-blade ax and it was uncomfortable to fight. So why did the same tactic work for a while and then fail?

Koto.

On the front line of Linchuan County, Jiangdong Army camp.

Sun Quan sat in the middle, staring at Zhu Zhi with bright eyes.

Zhu Zhi sat next to Sun Quan, his body straight and his expression calm.

Sun Quan turned to look at Zhu Huan again.

Zhu Huan lowered his head, contemplating, with no special emotion on his face.

The people of South Vietnam rebelled, Zhu Zhi led his troops to the expedition, and Sun Quan also conveniently forced Zhu Huan in. Although Zhu Huan and Zhu Zhi both have the surname Zhu, one Zhu is not the other Zhu. The two families are actually two Zhu...

Zhu Zhi has been sitting in the land for a long time, and Zhu Huan, a young man, is similar to Zhou Tai. He is a subordinate specially trained by Sun Quan to compete with the established Jiangdong nobles, so in fact, there has always been a relationship between the two pigs, uh, the two Zhus. Not too harmonious.

But now Cao Cao has taken Xiangyang and led his army southward. However, the South Vietnamese have still not been pacified, and there is endless chaos in Linchuan County. Regarding this, Zhu Heng put forward a bold idea, that is, if the South Vietnamese gather in towns, Attacking the cities one by one will inevitably take time. Therefore, if we can lead the army to penetrate into the hinterland of South Vietnam and then disrupt the Yue people's stronghold, then the people of South Vietnam will definitely be in chaos. By then, there will be no need to attack the rebel cities one by one. Put down the rebellion with your tone.

Therefore, Zhu Huan suggested that he could send a force of troops to bypass the city occupied by the South Vietnamese and deliver a fatal blow to the South Vietnamese. But Zhu Zhi disagreed.

Zhu Zhi believed that Zhu Huan's strategy was too risky, and next door to Linchuan was Changsha County, and there was also the hidden danger of Han Xuan in Jingzhou, so if he was not careful, not only would he lose troops, but he would also affect the overall morale, and it might even be implicated. Battle of Jiangling, so it is better to be calm than to advance rashly.

Ever since, Sun Quan came.

As soon as Sun Quan came, Zhu Zhi didn't look good. Even fools knew what Sun Quan was doing...

Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi and said straight to the point: "Why doesn't Junli accept Xiu Mu's strategy?" 』

Zhu Zhi handed over his hand, stated his concerns, and then said, "After the South Vietnamese people plundered, most of them retreated, and few stayed in the towns... If they don't retreat now, they may have someone else to rely on." Now if we push too hard and make them resist wholeheartedly, it will be unsightly... I have sent people to separate the villages, I guess..."

"Then, how much time will it take?" ”Sun Quan interrupted Zhu Zhi’s words.

Zhu Zhi's eyes moved, and he was slightly angry, but he still said calmly: "It can take as little as one month, as long as three months, and the results will definitely be seen!" 』

Sun Quan sighed, "Too slow!" Too slow! A certain strategy that means Xiu Mu is the best choice! 』

It's not that he didn't understand what Zhu Zhi said, or that he didn't understand clearly, but he was now attracted by Jiangling. On the one hand, he wanted to expand his gains in Jingzhou, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to be forced by Cao Cao. Therefore, the method as Zhu Zhi said was not bad, but one delay after another, even after three months, the Nanyue people in Linchuan County were defeated, and the Jiangling people who had swallowed it in their throats were defeated. The fat meat had to be vomited out even if he had no choice but to do so. How could this be accepted by Sun Quan?

Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice: "If the partial army attacks, if it fails and the overall situation is affected, what will happen?" 』

Zhu Zhi's meaning is also very clear. Laozi's strategy is to win steadily. Although it is slower, it will not fail. Although Zhu Huan's strategy now has the possibility of quick victory, it may also fail. And if it fails, who will bear the responsibility?

It's a simple multiple-choice question, isn't it?

Zhu Zhi's basic interest point is in Jiangdong, so the success or failure of Jiangling is not an important consideration for Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi only needs to quell the South Vietnamese rebellion in Linchuan County, which is a definite achievement, so is there a need for the battle of Jiangling? To take risks that you might not need to take?

For Sun Quan, just pacifying Linchuan County was definitely not satisfactory. He needed to dispatch more men to Jingzhou to resist Cao Jun's attack, so it would be best to end the battle in Linchuan as soon as possible.

So from the moment Sun Quan arrived at the Linchuan front line, there was actually only one result.

Sun Quan turned to look at Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan sighed slightly in his heart, but still stood up, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "I would like to issue a military order!" 』

"good! Sun Quan touched his palms and sighed, "If there were more warriors like Xiu Mu in the east of the Yangtze River, why worry about the conflicts and injustices in the world!" 』

Zhu Zhi glanced sideways at Sun Quan, then stared at Zhu Huan, and said word by word: "Xiu Mu, you need to know that there is no joke in the army!" 』

Zhu Huan lowered his head deeply and repeated, "Someone, I would like to issue a military order!" 』
