Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3379: Making the best use of talents

On the high platform in the central camp of the Cao army camp, lights were lit. When the war drums were beaten, all the soldiers in the entire Cao army camp were basically looking forward to it.

In the Cao army, the information gap between the top, middle and lower levels was very large.

Cao Hong and others already knew that the situation was irreversible, while the middle and lower levels of the Cao army were still waiting for orders.

Perhaps it was an order that would never arrive.

Although the morale of the Cao army has dropped a lot compared to before the war, and the military spirit is also relatively decadent, but what is interesting is that, like those domesticated civilians, these Cao army soldiers, after enduring injuries again and again, regardless of whether they are full of complaints or have any grievances, still habitually gather together and gather under the flag of the Cao army.

They are dissatisfied, they are resentful, they like to grumble when they have nothing to do, but now that the war has started, they stand together again.

They have no choice.

Just like most of the time, although the high officials in the court loudly stated that they represented the people and the lower classes, in fact, the lower classes have never been truly represented in the Han Dynasty.

When Cao Cao was leaving, he would not listen to their voices.

When Cao Hong was going to abandon the camp, he would not discuss it with them.

And they still looked up here, waiting...

It seemed that they were always waiting for the savior to save them.

The basic clothing and attire of the Cao army followed the tradition of the Han Dynasty.

Red and black are the colors of the Han Dynasty and their colors.

Red is fire, blood, black is iron, and this sinking night...

I don’t know how long I waited, and suddenly someone cursed: "What a shitty order? ! !"

Ordinary soldiers reacted slower than the military academy, but the commotion they caused was even greater!

The order from the central camp to hold the camp was more or less understandable, but it was a bit outrageous to ask everyone to hold on and wait for dawn...

What's going on?

Could it be that the cavalrymen were allowed to roam freely in the camp?

In a normal move, shouldn't part of the army camp be stationary, stuck at key points, and the rest of the troops move forward to fight, reducing the range of movement of the cavalrymen, until the cavalrymen are completely defeated or driven out?

Why should all the troops not move?

Many people who reacted quickly understood and shouted: "This is because they are worried about us!"

"This is because they are also treating us as traitors and are on guard! !"

"What order, sit and wait for death? ! ! !"

"Wait for the cavalrymen to kill us one by one, and then we will be considered loyal? ! ! !"

The shouts rose and fell between the camps.

But just like the previous grumblings, it was useless.

Regardless of the disturbances between the various camps in the Cao army camp, just look at the front camp near the gate of the Cao army camp, where Bao Zhong was originally located, which was already in a mess.

Although the Cao army had a large number of people, there were big problems with the military system between them. When ordinary Cao soldiers were in trouble, the Central Guards stood and watched, and when the Central Guards were in trouble, the other Cao soldiers had no intention of taking the initiative to rescue. Unless a clear order was given.

The Cao army in the various camps could still whisper or make a big fuss in the camp, but now the Central Guards team left on the main road began to have bad luck...

Xu Chu couldn't blast those civilians, but those who wore Cao army armor and held Cao army flags could.

The various strange things in Shandong made Xu Chu amazed and couldn't figure it out.

He led his men to drive away the civilians. Even if they were driven away for a while, they would quickly turn around and return to their original places, as if an invisible rope was tied around their necks.

And Bao Zhonghe's constant driving of the civilians was effective!

What a hell!

With Bao Zhonghe's constant assistance, Xu Chu was finally able to blast the civilians and spread the chaos.

The first to suffer, of course, were the Central Guard Army teams stuck on the main roads.

If these Central Guard Army teams were only dealing with enemies in one direction, of course, there would be no big problem, but now the civilians in the dugouts were blasted up, running around like headless flies, and they all said that they were ordered to go somewhere, and even the title of the prime minister was brought out...

The Central Guard Army team was messed up as soon as they hesitated, so the stability of the defense of these Central Guard Army teams guarding the main roads was naturally greatly discounted.

Moreover, Xu Chu was very smart, and he was accompanied by elite infantrymen, so he often did not take the usual route. Even if the earth wall was high, he could either build a ladder or use simple wooden materials to build a path, and go around the back of these Central Guard Army teams, or attack from the side!

These Central Guard Army teams were often attracted by the more powerful civilians, and it was inevitable that they would lose sight of the attackers like Xu Chu who were hiding in the night. After Xu Chu's attack, many important roads were lost!

The loss of important roads meant that the riots began to spread.

But soon, after these civilians rushed indiscriminately, the Central Guard Army team also began to kill indiscriminately.

At first they asked a few questions, but then they didn't even ask. The Central Guards even used a trap and pulled out the latch that was originally stuck on the flap. No one could see clearly in the night. I don’t know how many, but there was a wailing immediately!

In some places, the traps were simply made by civilians who foolishly ran into them, or carried the flames while running around. As a result, some traps that had been set with kerosene in advance were ignited, and those civilians who accidentally ran into them were ignited. They were burned so much that they let out the biggest roar in their lives...

But these were just appetizers. As the order near the gate of Cao Jun's camp collapsed, civilians ran around in disorder, and the Central Guards team guarding the main road was unable to resist. The hussars outside Cao Jun's camp finally moved and dispatched After leaving the small team, they rushed into Cao Jun's camp, throwing flammable objects everywhere, making the situation more and more chaotic!

Chaos spread, more camps were affected, and more civilians were driven out between the camps.

Those peasants who were driven out of their underground dens seemed to have lost their lifelong shells and were naked and exposed. Therefore, these peasants are eager to find a new den where they can hide their butts and feel safe. Before there was a new nest, they were afraid, they were terrified, they ran, they wandered...

These folk men, who have been selected and cultivated from generation to generation, have firmly linked their lives to the land. Diwozi is engraved in their genes and has become an instinct they desire. .

More and more fires were rising, and they should have been brighter, but the smoke all around blocked people's sight.

With vision blocked, hearing becomes even more acute.

Those wild shouts and shouts rang in their ears, making the soldiers of Cao's army guarding the main road more and more uneasy. They didn't know where their opponents would appear. There was light, but they couldn't see anything clearly. They were clearly in Cao's camp. Inside, it feels like being trapped in a Shura field. Even the most elite soldiers can't help but feel shaken!

At this moment, these Cao Jun soldiers who stayed behind could not help but have the same thought in their hearts, "It's over!" The camp is over! 』

…

…

At this moment, Cao Sheng, who was camped in the center of the camp, was trying his best to look north through the rising smoke, "Have the hussars moved?" 』

"Move, move!" 』

Some soldiers responded.

But soon, another soldier shouted, "Not moving!" Not moving! 』

Cao Sheng was furious, but soon understood that it was not the problem of these lookout soldiers, but that part of the hussar had moved...

Only part of it moved!

Why is this hussar so calm? !

Moreover, it was not only the hussars general Fei Qian who was calm, but also the general who broke into the camp and caused chaos. He was not in a hurry to attack Cao Jun's central camp directly, but instead created larger and more powerful enemies on the periphery. Much confusion.

So for a while, in the central camp of Cao's army, there was some calmness in the chaos.

At this moment, Cao Sheng had to admit that the choice of Qiaoqi and the general Qiaoqi was the most correct.

If you want to take advantage of the night and rush in impatiently, even if you don't make any plans to survive, but in an area like Cao Jun's camp where there are many traps, suspension bridges, sentry towers, and archery towers and crossbow carriages, even for a short time. It is equally dangerous to drive away the crowd and mix in it.

Cao Jun would not be soft-hearted just because he was mixed with his comrades, nor would he give up the use of traps just because he saw a civilian. Moreover, in the mixed crowd, those confused and confused civilians may overturn them, including people and horses, until they become a pile of meat.

However, now the Hussars' choice, although slow, is much safer!

"well……"

Cao Sheng sighed.

Also, it would be nice if the Hussars were like the Xiliang Army back then, and would just ignore it and rush and fight...

Such tactics, after a battle, seem to have killed a lot of people and burned a lot of equipment, but in fact it will not cause much damage to the military in Shandong. On the contrary, in the process, the enemy will be killed. If one thousand loses eight hundred, the Shandong army can win without fighting, or it can be called victory without victory.

After all, those who were sacrificed and lost were all civilians and soldiers at the bottom, and everyone in the middle and upper levels were smiling.

Cao Sheng watched blankly, watching the flames dissipate, watching the crazy tide gradually ignite the camps one by one from the outside in, watching the originally towering banners of Cao's army fall one after another...

Unconsciously, Cao Sheng burst into tears.

…

…

Under the banner of the three-color commander of the Hussars, Fei Qian saw the commotion in the Cao army camp, with flames rising to the sky, and the sound of wailing resounding throughout the countryside. However, his expression did not become extremely excited because of this. He was full of ambition and remained calm. , just like everything in front of me is normal.

This Cavalry General, this Jingqi Kung Fu...

Seeing Fei Qian like this, Xiahou Dun felt something in his heart. He thought of something and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Has he fallen into a trap again?

The hussar is like a whirlwind, stirring up the entire Han Dynasty into a smoky atmosphere...

Well, the wind and clouds are surging, and the sky and earth are changing color.

Before meeting Fei Qian, Xiahou Dun thought that Cao's army was the strongest. After all, Cao's army was in a place of four battles. They fought in the north and south, and destroyed several powerful local princes. And Fei Qian just took advantage of some opportunities and obtained some Xiliang relics. Even if he is tyrannical for a while, he cannot be tyrannical for the rest of his life! What's more, the Hu and Han people in Guanzhong and Longxi are mixed, and the deserts in the north are uncertain. The territory owned by Fei Qian needs people but no one, wants money but no money, and has to raise so many war horses. How long can Fei Qian be tyrannical? !

In fact, Xiahou Dun's judgment was correct to a certain extent.

Historically, this is indeed the case. The Xiliang army was indeed strong for a while, and then quickly declined. Even if Ma Chao charged into the battle and killed Cao Cao in history, it did not change the fact that the Xiliang army did not know how to govern or the importance of maintaining order, and only knew how to kill to make others obey. It would never be possible in the Central Plains of China. Get a foothold.

This was the case in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also the case in the Qing Dynasty. If the local gentry had not been given enough political compromises and interests, it would have been a rebellion, and chaos would occur every day.

Therefore, in the early years, even though Fei Qian led his troops to attack Xu County, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun still believed that Fei Qian was only tyrannical in terms of force. Once the weapons were quelled, Fei Qian would soon rebel in Longyou, Guanzhong. During the chaos, he gradually lost blood and finally collapsed.

So what if I give up the title of Chancellor? This is what most people in Shandong thought at that time. And even though there were a few smart people among them who noticed something was wrong, once the troops came to the city, this was the only way to retreat. Secondly, these people couldn't tell what was wrong...

Of course, if Xiahou Dun were to say it now, it would be totally wrong! He can even summarize a dozen or twenty points of questions!

Who would have thought that after Fei Qian returned to the army, not only was he not dragged down by those stubborn Xiliang soldiers, but he soared up into the clouds like lightning! Go north, expand westward, fight in the field, besiege the city, lure the enemy, chase and kill, open up the Western Region, open up trade routes, and destroy the enemy country with a few hands!

Guanzhong and the north, the snowy areas of Sichuan and Sichuan, and Longyou and Hexi, not only did not become a drag on Fei Qian, but began to become a boost for Qiusi!

The strategy of growth and decline that Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun originally thought was indeed realized, but unfortunately, it was not the weakening of Fei Qian, but the waxing and waning of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun!

"I have some questions, but I don't know the answer." Xiahou Dun raised his hands to Fei Qian and asked Hussar to give me some advice. 』

Fei Qian nodded, "Please speak." 』

Xiahou Dun asked: "May I ask how Hussar managed to recruit so many loyal and brave men?" 』

Fei Qian was a little surprised. He thought that Xiahou Dun would ask about Cao Jun's camp, or about matters related to Cao Jun's defeat, but he didn't expect Xiahou Dun to ask this.

But what about this problem...

It’s also a bit interesting.

Fei Qian smiled.

Can I tell you that I cheated?

Of course, at the beginning, Fei Qian did make use of some existing historical knowledge, but later Fei Qian gradually understood that the reason why historical figures became that figure was not that the person was born a figure, but that He grew up through hard work and learning in the environment he experienced!

No one is born Zhuge and will always be Zhuge!

The same is true for Xu Huang, Zhuge, Zhao Yun, etc.

When you are young, having a certain amount of force or intelligence does not mean you have commanding power.

Xu Huang was not stable enough, so Fei Qian stayed in Guanzhong. He waited until Xu Huang stopped shaking before sending him to Sichuan. It's a pity that it's still a bit wobbly...

Zhuge trained his troops in Sichuan and Shu, and Zhao Yun grew up in the Northern Territory.

Of course there are also failures.

But now Fei Qian is no longer too rigidly attached to these figures in history, such as Gan Feng in the North, Li Li in the near future, and even...

"Julius!" 』

Fei Qian shouted.

"exist! Julius responded angrily.

Julius always stood behind Xiahou Dun. Of course it was not to protect Xiahou Dun. Therefore, he could hear everything Xiahou Dun and Fei Qian said.

"Did you hear his question?" Do you understand? If you understand, explain it to him. Fei Qian said with a smile.

"I understand it sometimes, and there are times I don't understand it. Julius replied.

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Let's talk first, it's okay." 』

Xiahou Dun turned to look at Julius and frowned slightly. He thought Fei Qian was trying to trick him again.

However, Xiahou Dun originally did not expect that Fei Potential would give him a standard that would give him the opportunity to learn from and practice the answers. Instead, he used this question as a starting point and then asked the subsequent questions...

So even though Julius spoke with a weird accent, Xiahou Dun endured it and listened.

"Shrink it..." Julius himself knew that his accent was not standard, so he tried to be brief and clear, "Others... have this, Lolo, take it!" If you have this among the hussars, come and get it if you want it! Search...well, so, there are four distinctions...』

Although Julius was said to be slurred in speech, he could almost express his meaning through gestures and words.

One "goes" and the other "comes".

Xiahou Dun was just pretending at first, and actually didn't think Julius could say anything. Unexpectedly, Julius actually said a little difference. This surprised Xiahou Dun, and he even didn't even follow up for a while. The questions I originally wanted to ask were a bit stuck...

"If you regard all people in the world as cattle, horses, pigs and dogs, then naturally the world is full of cattle, horses, pigs and dogs." Fei Qian said slowly, "If you regard all people in the world as talents, then naturally the world is full of talents... The rest is just to make the best use of their talents! "

"Make the best use of their talents? " Xiahou Dun couldn't help but repeat.

It was not until this moment that Xiahou Dun really realized how big the difference was between his philosophy and Fei Qian's, and it was only at this moment that he really put away the arrogance in his heart...

However, it was a little late.

Fei Qian was about to continue to say something, when suddenly there was a huge fire in the Cao army camp, illuminating half of the sky!
