Three Kingdoms

In March, the fifth year of Taixing.

General Hussar went out to patrol the east of the river.

The little guy Feizhen was very excited at the beginning. He had endless questions and extremely strong curiosity. He couldn't sit still in the carriage. If Huang Yueying hadn't been holding one of Feizhen's arms all the time, it would be impossible to explain. Halfway through, I had to jump out of the car and go play.

Even so, Fei Zhen still pulled on the railings of the car, almost throwing the etiquette of sitting down among the nobles out of the sky. Even if Huang Yueying reminded and reprimanded her many times, Fei Zhen didn't care and pretended not to hear at all.

Children have an innate ability to detect the attitude of their parents towards them.

No matter how harshly Huang Yueying reprimanded her, from childhood to adulthood, she basically always spoke harshly, but in fact she rarely let down her words. Even if she was really beaten, as long as she cried, everything would be fine. In turn, Huang Yueying would take It's delicious and fun, making him happy and crying...

Because there is love, there is no fear.

In other words, in a common saying in later generations, it is "a sense of security."

So when Feizhen is excited, will she choose to obey Huang Yueying's request and sit down obediently?

Don’t even think about it!

The worst thing is to cry again!

But such excitement, as the journey lengthens, is quickly consumed in the monotonous march. Although nature is still beautiful, the more you see it, the beauty of nature will gradually fade away. With marginal utility, the novelty gradually fades away and fatigue sets in.

As soon as his little head tilted, Feizhen was about to fall down and sleep, because he knew that no matter where he slept, there would be someone to cover him with quilts, take care of clothes, etc., so sleeping there was not sleeping?

Right? This is where the sense of security comes from.

Is such a child happy?

But the problem now is that when he is happy, he often ignores the burdens of others to move forward.

The mountains and rivers on both sides were beautiful, but the dark faces of the soldiers were not seen. He could play when he wanted and sleep when he wanted, but he didn't see Huang Yueying's hard work helping him here and there.

Why can't I see it? It's not that she is really blind, but that Fei Zhen has regarded these as things she should have, just like air. Only when there is a lack of air, will she feel the value of air.

So the first thing Feiqian needs to do is to get Feizhen out of her comfort zone.

In Chang'an, the Han Dynasty's Hsiaoqi Mansion was Fei Zhen's comfort zone, and now, Huang Yueying's car is Fei Zhen's current comfort zone.

"Want to ride a horse?" Fei Qian had been watching quietly. When Fei Zhen fell asleep for a while and sat up again in confusion, he rode to the side of the vehicle and asked with a smile.

"want! Want to ow! "Fei Zhen felt tired of being in the car. When she heard Fei Qian's words, she wanted to fly on the horse and gallop. She stretched out her hands straight and tried to move towards Fei Qian's horse as she spoke. Climb up.

"Slow down...slow down..." Huang Yueying protected her and reluctantly let go of her hand, "Lang Jun...here, be careful..."

"Haha..." Fei Qian just laughed, and then with a strong hand, he lifted Fei Zhen from the car onto the horse and placed it in front of him, "Little guy, sit down..."

Huang Yueying seemed to realize something, and shouted with some reluctance: "Lang Jun!" 』

"Don't worry!" Fei Qian waved his hand, then turned to Feizhen and asked, "Is it fun?" 』

"Uh-huh! Fun! ” Feizhen didn’t realize what was going to happen at all, her little face was shining with excitement, “Drive! drive! Set off! Set off! 』

Fei Qian gently knocked on the belly of the war horse, and the horse began to run forward nimbly.

Huang Yueying stuck her head out from the vehicle, as if she wanted to say something more, but when she saw the two men running away, she couldn't help but curled her lips, muttered something, and then sighed quietly...

Watching others do things and doing it yourself are two different things, and the same goes for riding a horse.

Watching other people riding horses with great speed and majesty, I was riding a horse myself, bumping up and down, and my buttocks hurt.

"Find the right rhythm and follow the horse..." Fei Qian said calmly, "Don't sit still..." The principle is simple, but it is not easy to do. Fei Qian also experienced a bloody and bloody experience before his body remembered it. , and is it possible that Feizhen can master riding skills immediately after listening to a few instructions?

Not long after, Fei Zhen felt uncomfortable being jolted, her face turned pale, and her original excitement of getting on the horse was gone.

"Dad..." Feizhen raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Father... I feel pain... my legs hurt... my butt hurts too..."

"Oh, I see..." Fei Qian didn't stop, but said calmly, "Don't worry, I brought some medicine." Wait until you get to the ground and apply it yourself..."

Feizhen: "ヽ(；Д｀)..."

Fei Zhen saw that Fei Qian had no sympathy at all, so she habitually resorted to killing him, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. No one needs to teach this stuff, it’s something you’re born with.

"look! rabbit! Fei Qian suddenly pointed forward with his hand.

"rabbit! That it? That it? ! Feizhen immediately looked around with tearful eyes, "Where is it?" I did not see it! Where is it? 』

"It got into the grass..." Fei Qian said calmly, "Let me tell you, in the past on the grassland, there were rabbits that were killed directly on the hoofs of horses..."

"real? Feizhen suddenly forgot something, "Hit the horse's hoof?" Are rabbits really that stupid? Don’t you know how to hide? 』

"certainly! Fei Qian chuckled. Not only did the rabbit hit the horse's hooves, but also the bird hit the plane. "You have to learn to ride a horse before you get to Yinshan, otherwise you won't be able to catch the rabbit... Come on, use some strength on your legs." ...』

Feizhen said "Oh" and subconsciously followed suit, then seemed to have forgotten something.

However, the child's physical strength is still limited. The excitement brought by the rabbit lasted for about half an hour, and then came the refractory period. Regardless of what new things Fei Qian brought up, Fei Zhen was already drowsy. Tossing and turning in Fei Qian's arms...

Fei Qian held it with his hands, then looked up at the sky and ordered: "Speed ​​up!" 』

Huang Xu caught up from behind, half a horse away, stretched his head to look at Fei Zhen in Fei Qian's arms, and said, "My lord, do you want... to camp here..."

"here? You need mountains but not mountains, you need water but not water..." Fei Qian glared at Huang Xu, "Is this a place to camp? Just because of this naughty kid, military law is ignored? Send the order! Boost! 』

"only! 』

Huang Xu didn't say anything more, but conveyed Fei Qian's instructions, and the entire army immediately accelerated their march.

In fact, in a sense, Fei Zhen is not as miserable as Huang Xu and others imagined...

Although it is said that novices who drive for the first time often end up with two frictions, but it is basically an adult. Firstly, where is the weight? Secondly, adults have more energy and endurance than children, and war horses The running-in and confrontation between each other will also take longer, so the injuries will naturally be more serious.

And like Fei Zhen, who was already tired and half asleep in Fei Qian's arms, but her whole body relaxed, fitting perfectly into the war horse, rising and falling with the rhythm of the war horse, naturally reducing the need for mutual strength. The friction damage caused by coming together makes them less likely to be injured.

Riding is not so much a skill, but more like an instinctive memory of the body, just like riding a bicycle in later generations. You won’t shout and scream before, but after you learn it, it will be the same thing...

Of course, it is not difficult to learn to ride a horse or a bicycle, but it is not easy to get to the top.

Other things are pretty much the same.

Fei Qian does not expect Fei Zhen to be like Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others, who can fight on the battlefield and traverse the desert on horseback, so Fei Zhen can generally pass the standards of ordinary cavalry, and does not delay when marching, which is considered basic Passed.

And from Chang'an to Yinshan, is the only task of riding that awaits Feizhen?

No, there are many more.

Physical memory is deeper than memory in language.

The sooner you form such a memory, the better it is than having to accept it when you are older.

Just like most children sleeping in the car, Feizhen woke up naturally when she reached the ground and didn't need to scream. She opened her eyes in a daze, and her body on the ground still retained the inertia of swinging on the horse's back. He staggered around for a few times, then sat down on the ground again with a sigh. Then he finally understood and looked around.

Feizhen is on a small mound, and below is the camping site. In the distance is the river, and the sound of the river flowing can be heard. The entire queue has stopped. Apart from Fei Qian's group of direct guards, the rest of the soldiers are busy and orderly setting up camp, with people shouting and horses neighing noisily.

Fei Qian stood behind Fei Zhen, holding his hands behind his back and watching his soldiers at work.

Behind the two of them was a tricolor flag flying high.

Under the hill, in the camp, every soldier did not need to look in particular, but they all knew that the Hussars General was here. Although he did not work with them, he still stood with them.

"Did you see it? Fei Qian said to Fei Zhen, "These people are following us..."

Fei Zhen turned around and looked at Fei Qian as if she didn't understand.

"Why do you think they follow us?" Fei Qian asked.

Feizhen shook her head.

Fei Qian laughed and was not in a hurry, but said: "It's okay, just think about it first..."

Feizhen was silent for a while, then the pain in her body gradually surged, and she bared her teeth and screamed. Even though Fei Qian had put a piece of soft leather on the saddle beforehand, Fei Zhen, who was not used to running long distances, was still scratched by the friction.

Fei Qian looked at it, then waved back, and the doctor accompanying the army came.

The doctor who accompanied the army came up to check it out. It was natural that the doctors who accompanied the army were used to dealing with such common injuries, but they were a little hesitant because of Feizhen's identity.

"Forget it, I'll do it!" Fei Qian took over the position of the army doctor, then held Fei Zhen's injured leg in his arms, turned to Huang Xu and said, "Hold him down..."

Feizhen instinctively sensed that something was wrong. When she was at a loss, her shoulders sank and Huang Xu suppressed her. Then Fei Qian took a sip of alcohol and sprayed it directly on Feizhen's abraded wound. place...

"Ahhhhh..."

Childish screams sounded on the mound.

Fei Qian applied the ointment in three swipes, then wrapped the bandage, fixed it, tied a knot, and then returned the medicine box to the doctor on the side.

Feizhen is still crying. Just like a car that has speed, it is not so easy to stop.

"Where's Big Wei?" Fei Qian ignored Fei Zhen and didn't even say a word of comfort. He stood up and shouted, "Where are you running?" 』

From under the mound came the angrily voice of the capital of Wei, "I'm here!" 』

"Come up!" Fei Qian greeted.

"Ai! ” Weidu rushed up from under the mound.

"Show this stupid kid your wounds!" Fei Qian was not polite and spoke directly to Wei Du.

"oh! ” Wei Du didn’t hesitate. When he pulled the laces of his armor, a huge wound scar on his chest and abdomen was exposed. The blue-red scars are hideous and twisted.

"ah! ” Feizhen was startled and stopped crying.

Or I forgot to cry.

Although it was not the first time Fei Zhen had seen Wei Du, it was the first time Fei Zhen had seen the huge scar left on Wei Du's body. Without too many words to describe it, Fei Zhen could already feel the breath of death.

However, beneath this residual aura of death, there is something strange...

Fei Qian stretched out his head and looked at it, "Hey, you're such a big guy, why are you still carrying a leg of lamb?" Just keep it like this, won't it break? 』

Wei Du chuckled, "No, I will eat it before it gets spoiled..."

"Be careful of what you eat..." Fei Qian was helpless. After all, the leg of lamb had become a mascot in Wei Du's heart. It's just that others might have offered the mascot, and Wei Du ate it... …

Weidu went down.

Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen, "Does it still hurt?" 』

"..." Feizhen hesitated, "It still hurts..."

"Then do you think the big injury just now hurts more, or your small injury..." Fei Qian asked again.

Feizhen held back her words, "...it hurts..."

Fei Qian laughed loudly and ignored Fei Zhen's rogue play, but said: "This is the second question... If you feel pain, they will feel pain too, so why do they fight and fight bravely even though they know it will hurt?" Kill the enemy? 』

"Why? Feizhen asked in a daze.

Fei Qian smiled and said, "It's up to you to think about it...are you hungry?" 』

"……Hungry! Feizhen responded, "Father, do you have anything to eat?" 』

"Yes..." Fei Qian nodded, "But we have to wait a while..."

"Why? Didn’t we bring dry food? Feizhen said, "I'm hungry!" 』

Fei Qian glanced at Fei Zhen and said, "Dry food?" Aren't they all on your mother's side? How could it be here? Look, there’s cooking down there..."

The little guy was dumbfounded.

As for dry food, of course Fei Qian also brought it, but of course it was impossible to give it to Fei Zhen now.

Hunger is always a child's most important teacher. Only by truly experiencing hunger can children understand the seriousness and importance of survival.

China chose the farming route because farming can compete with nature. It is no longer a matter of waiting for randomly dropped ingredients, but a more or less controllable harvest. Then in farming, the most basic concept of how much work you put in and how much you get in return was developed, building the basic value system of the entire society.

Even the most stupid ruler will know how to praise and motivate workers on the surface, but once there is a large-scale disregard for workers' "stupid and inefficient" efforts, they just want to make quick money. , and even pursue getting something for nothing, desperately exploiting workers, and turning a blind eye to the workers' life and death, it means that the entire society has been distorted...

Big man, that's what he was like before.

So Fei Qian wants Fei Zhen to understand this, and to understand this, just sitting at home and talking and describing it is completely ineffective.

"How about..." Fei Qian smiled and took a water bag, "Would you like to drink some water first?" 』

Feizhen had no choice but to take the water bag and take a sip. However, after drinking the water, she became more and more hungry. After a day of hard work, his energy was exhausted, he was hungry, tired and thirsty, and the wounds on his legs were still aching. Feizhen finally realized that this trip to the Yinshan Mountains was not as beautiful as he had imagined before...

"Father...can we go back..." Feizhen raised her head and asked expectantly.

Fei Qian knew it and asked, "Where are you going back to?" 』

"Go back to Chang'an!" Feizhen said matter-of-factly.

"Okay, of course we will go back to Chang'an." ” Fei Qian nodded as a matter of course, “When you’re done, you’ll go back...”

"No! I want to go back now! ” Fei Zhen is ready to start using his special talent to cheat.

"Well, you can, but you can't walk back, can you?" I'm afraid you won't be able to walk this way if you break your leg... Just ask these people who is willing to take you back, and then you can go back..." Fei Qian said cheerfully, very embarrassed.

Feizhen began to search with hope, but soon discovered that this was actually impossible because no one responded to him. Huang Xu, who usually smiled when he saw him inside, also raised his head and looked at the sky, as if It looks like there are some extra patterns...

Just when Fei Zhen was about to collapse, Fei Qian suddenly said: "Ha!" The meal is here! Want to eat? 』

Feizhen suppressed the grievance that was about to burst out, "Yes!" 』

The world is huge, and eating is the biggest thing. Finish the meal first and worry about it later!

"Let's go wash our hands together..." Fei Qian was still unambiguous about the issue of food hygiene.

Feizhen was full of expectation and desire for food. When she came back after washing her hands, she was dumbfounded.

Because the meal that was served was completely different from what he originally imagined!

A bowl of multigrain rice and a plate of pickled vegetables.

Gone!

Where's the meat?

Where's the soup?

Even if that doesn’t work, corn porridge will do!

No, nothing!

While Fei Zhen was dazed, Fei Qian naturally picked up his portion and glanced at Fei Zhen, "What are you doing standing there?" eat! 』

"..." Feizhen hesitated and picked up the multi-grain rice.

The hastily cooked beans were not rotten at all, and each bean was thick and tough, as if showing Feizhen her final stubbornness. The rough wheat grains have edges and corners, and even if they slide down the throat, they still show their resistance to the world.

Ahem, in fact, there are not that many dramas. The beans have a beany smell, the wheat is not so fresh, and it is boiled in plain water. To put it simply, it is simply unpalatable.

Fei Zhen gritted her teeth and chewed, and then watched Fei Qian and Huang Xu and others devouring the food. If she hadn't seen with her own eyes that Fei Qian and he were getting the same food, she would have doubted whether she had deliberately left it to him. That bowl of food...

"Wow……"

Feizhen really broke down and cried loudly, with big tears flying from her eyes. He swore that this was the most miserable day for him, but he soon discovered that this was actually just the beginning of misery...
