Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3510 Don’t talk about martial ethics

Pang Tong, covered in wind and snow, arrived at Tongguan. Before he entered the inner courtyard of the government office in Tongguan, he stopped suddenly, sniffed, and his eyes suddenly shone, "Oh ha!" Leave some fat for me! 』

In winter, there is probably nothing more pleasant than having a barbecue while watching the snow.

Sure enough, when Pang Tong walked into the inner courtyard, he was attracted by the roasted sheep on the bonfire. He stared at it intently, "Oh, I look a little thinner..."

Fei Qian was sitting in the hall, warming wine on a small red stove. When he saw Pang Tong coming, he picked up the wine pot on the stove and poured a bowl for Pang Tong. "How can there be fat in winter?" 』

Pang Tong took off his cloak and handed it to the guard. He laughed and sat down. He naturally picked up the wine bowl that Fei Qian pushed over and said, "Maybe there is one in Shandong?" 』

Fei Qian laughed and raised his wine bowl.

Pang Tong understood and drank it all with Fei Qian.

"Hiss... this wine... is weird..." Pang Tong took a big sip as a habit, but the drink was spicy. A burning sensation like a line of fire spread from the throat to the abdomen, and then spread. Suddenly, I felt a little drunk, "Is this fruit wine?" How does it taste...well, it's a bit strange...』

"Chang'an New Wine..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "I'm going to call it... Luoyang Chun." What do you think of this name? 』

Chang'an's wine is called Luoyang's name.

Pang Tong smacked the aftertaste of the wine and said, "Master, do you think calling Chang'an's name will arouse the hostility of those guys in Shandong?" By changing the name of Luoyang, can they let them live in intoxication while looking back on the glory of the past? 』

Fei Qian nodded, "The important point is that this wine... is blended..."

"Add it?" Pang Tong didn't quite understand this term.

"Some fruit wine, some sorghum wine, and some other wines... Anyway, there is no such thing as millet, wheat, rice..." Fei Qian said, "The key now is to find some places where these wine-making crops can be grown... and how to grow them." People who grow these crops..."

Pang Tong seemed to understand, "There are many people in Shandong who know how to farm." 』

Fei Qian stretched out his hand and made a virtual circle on the table. "If you only use millet and wheat to make wine, then only the land that produces millet and wheat is a good place... Now if there are more places, it will become a good place." It’s a great place to make wine...』

"Wine..." Pang Tong nodded, "Wherever you can grow corn and wheat well, just grow corn and wheat...Wherever you can't grow corn and wheat, just see if you can grow tea, sorghum, and fruit trees... If you really can't. , just see if there are any minerals... Then if it seems like there are no minerals..."

"I want it too." Fei Qian said slowly, "In ancient times, our ancestors didn't want to go to the Central Plains... Didn't they go later?" In the Spring and Autumn Period, we thought that the Jiangdong area was a barbaric land. Nowadays, not many people call themselves Jiangdong people? If you don't occupy it first, how will you know whether it will be useful in the future? And... when we didn't know how to make iron, iron ore was just waste... Now that we know how to make iron, we found that there aren't many iron ores... Why don't we occupy it first and mark it, and wait until that day what else will we make? When you need something, you don’t have to worry about the shortage of minerals or not enough..."

"But this requires a lot of people to guard..." Pang Tong said with a frown.

Fei Qian shook his head, "Wrong, no need." I said... one day in the future, as long as there is a Han flag, it will be our land... We will not guard the border... If we are strong enough, there should be no border. If we are weak, only the border will be there. What is it for? 』

Fei Qian knew that no one could speak louder than the people of Shandong Confucianism who only spoke big words and talked about truth.

Something must be put out.

Wine is the best and most powerful proof.

Before tobacco was introduced in the Americas, alcohol was a common anesthetic, pacifier, and...

pass.

There may be language barriers and different customs, but a bowl of wine, a bottle of wine, or a barrel of wine can instantly eliminate this language barrier.

In the past, most grains were used to make wine in China, and because the nobles liked to drink wine made from more expensive grains, this led to the social custom that grain-based rice wine was the best, and other wines were inferior.

By the time of the Tang Dynasty, because the superstructure liked to drink wine from the Western Regions, fruit wines such as wine suddenly became hard-to-buy drinks.

There is no such thing as high-end wine. Instead, it is because of certain people and certain relationships that so-called high-end goods appear. Even in some potential obedience tests, drinks have become a tool for some people to test the loyalty and obedience values ​​of their subordinates. Leaders will not remember who came to toast, but they will definitely notice who did not come to toast.

Of course, Fei Qian didn't use wine to test the loyalty of his subordinates, he just used this method to show a new path.

China's small-scale peasant economic system has its own inertia, and without enough external pressure, it is difficult to directly reverse the thinking and change itself. Just like the Southern Song Dynasty, if it were not for the huge pressure to pay tribute every year, it would not be able to change from top to bottom. Find ways to make money. However, after the Ming Dynasty, after the pressure in this area was relieved, they returned to their original path.

Therefore, what Fei Qian wants to do is to push the Huaxia wheel to the side.

From a small peasant economic system to a comprehensive rural economy.

Given the Chinese people's character, they can even grow watermelons on sandy land as long as they are given some land. As long as there is a suitable direction, what can't be developed?

Tea and fruit trees can be planted on the mountains, and rice and wheat can be grown at the foot of the mountains. The hard-working Chinese farmers will take care of it all, and they just need leaders to point out the direction.

This is the first step to breaking up the small-scale peasant economy.

As long as society is stable and weather disasters are not severe, the output of agricultural products will definitely be greater than daily consumption, and agricultural products are extremely intolerant to storage, so brewing wine and manufacturing other agricultural product add-ons are the best choices. It is also a way to make farmers’ productive labor more valuable.

It is more difficult to circulate excess primary agricultural products, but alcohol is easier.

During the Tang Dynasty, those Central Asian merchants in the Western Regions could trek across the Gobi and deliver wine to Chang'an. Could it be that the Chinese people were born with short legs and could not walk out?

So more often than not, it’s not the difficulty of the road or the difficulty of drinking, but the fact that I drew a frame for myself, put myself in it, and nailed the coffin boards.

"This is really..." Pang Tong reached out and picked up the wine on the small red stove, opened the lid and smelled it, then poured another bowl for Fei Qian, then poured himself a bowl, and tasted it carefully again, "The taste is long and lasting." , gentle and changeable, with both the fragrance of the southern wilderness and the boldness of the north... It can be called a masterpiece..."

Fei Qian nodded and didn't say much about Pang Tong's false praise.

This wine is drinkable, but not very tasty.

After all, it is the first generation of blended wine.

But the advantages have already been shown, and there is no need to occupy grains.

This alone can make people ignore all its taste problems.

Pang Tong put down the wine bowl and tapped it gently, "So, this wine... is used as a spear and a shield to attack?" 』

Fei Qian nodded and added: "It can also be used as a shield... There were a lot of worries in the army before... After all, there is only one sheep in the east, so anointing is rare... If there are places for raising sheep in the world, why be afraid?" No fragrant fragrance? 』

Pang Tong understood, "My lord is far-sighted!" 』

At this time, the roasted lamb is also roasted to a good degree. The guard will stand the roasted lamb upright and begin to remove the parts that are easier to cook, and then leave the middle part to continue baking. This can ensure that some parts that are easy to be cooked will not be roasted. Jiao, on the other hand, in this cold weather, it won't get cold halfway through eating.

Fei Qian was not in the habit of eating alone. He and Pang Tong shared one leg of lamb, and then the other three legs were shared among the guards.

The genes handed down from ancient times by human beings are engraved with the unforgettable memory of the aroma of fat after barbecue. Therefore, when you smell this taste and eat it in your mouth, you will feel happy and satisfied.

"So...those storytellers who were summoned..." Pang Tong licked the grease on his fingers, "What do you want them to say?" 』

"Tell it like it is. Fei Qian replied.

"Tell the truth? Pang Tong was confused. He thought Fei Qian wanted the storytellers to talk more about the good things in Guanzhong and the bad things in Shandong.

"Lies will eventually be exposed." Fei Qian said, "If you know that someone is lying, can you still believe his words?" 』

Pang Tong thought for a moment, "That's true, but... just in case..."

Fei Qian smiled and said, "Since we left Shandong, there must be a reason." 』

Pang Tong suddenly said, "I understand!" 』

Lies will eventually be exposed.

And what Fei Qian is giving his soldiers now is something that no one in Shandong would ever give.

As long as you are not a fool, you will know that Fei Qian's plan is far more important than the three melons and two dates in Shandong.

If you are really attracted by the benefits of Shandong, then it means that you are really stupid, there is no way to save it, and there is no need to save it...

"I didn't make it clear before, and I didn't set any rules..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Now is the right time...the weather is cold and the road is blocked by heavy snow, so I take this time to make it clear..."

Pang Tong nodded, "I understand, I'll do it right now..."

"No rush, no rush..." Fei Qian smiled, "First have a good meal and have a good rest... We are not the ones who are anxious now..."

…

…

Just as Fei Qian said, the one who is getting angry now is definitely not Qiaoqi's subordinates, but Shen Dan.

The north wind was biting, and what made Shen Dan feel even more chilled than this cold wind was the coming of Li Dian!

Shangyong is the home of the Shen family.

Shen Dan knew that after Cao Zhen withdrew his troops, the Shen family would definitely not get any good results. However, the plan to move to Jingzhou as a whole was kept delayed due to various reasons...

It was Shen Yi's injury at first, and moving with the injury was equivalent to killing Shen Yi at a time like this.

Then there are some people who are reluctant to leave their hometown and feel that things may not be as bad as Shen Dan thinks. If the Hussars really come and surrender, what else can be done?

That's right, the other Shen clan members thought the worst thing was to sell Shen Dan Shenyi, saying that everything was Shen Dan Shenyi's fault, and then use Shen Dan Shenyi's head to calm Qiusi's anger.

There is no precedent for this matter before...

In the relatively secluded Shangyong area, because the sky is only a little bit pinched by the surrounding mountains, it is easy to have a problem of only a small field of vision. Therefore, many people in the Shen clan think that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period The rules are still applicable today. The problem that the Han Dynasty needed nobles to manage the countryside is still the same today under the Hussars.

Shen Dan sensed something was wrong, so he persuaded his tribe to ask Cao Ren for help, but the tribe thought that Shen Dan was just trying to intimidate them, and Cao Ren had too much time to take care of himself, so how could he have any free time to take care of Shen Dan?

In the end, Cao Ren just sent someone to comfort him, saying that the Cao family still supported Shen Dan, and emphasized that the Hussars did not leave Hangu Pass, indicating that the emperor's edict was effective and the war had ceased, so Shen Dan did not need to worry, and then added He said, even if there is a war, it will be next year. Who will fight in winter?

After hearing this, Shen Dan felt that it seemed to make sense, but on the other hand, he was still uneasy, because even if the emperor's edict was effective, only Fei Qian and Cao Cao would cease fighting! Will the emperor's edict state that Li Dian is not allowed to be named Shangyong? Obviously impossible!

But Shen Dan comforted herself that it was winter now, so Li Dian would have to wait until next year...

So, when Li Dian and his troops suddenly appeared in Shangyong, the Shen family was caught off guard.

An undefended city wall is actually just a little more difficult to climb.

Li Dian stepped over the corpse on the ground, without any pause in his steps, and charged forward with the arrow in his hand.

Several soldiers of the Shen clan were like small boats caught in the huge waves. They were submerged almost in the blink of an eye and disappeared under the sword and gun.

Under the leadership of Li Dian, the military front spread.

The thick plasma began to spread wantonly, and the flames also expanded.

The soldiers of the Shen clan rushed in howling from the other side and collided with Li Dian's men who had climbed up the city wall.

The soldiers of the Shen clan who hurriedly responded to the battle, even with the advantage of geographical location, could not stop the impact of Li Dian and others. Soon the formation was defeated and fled in all directions.

In order to cooperate with Cao Zhen before, the Shen family had already spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but now the losses have not been replenished as originally expected, but they have received a heavier blow!

Now that the Shen clan does not have Cao Jun as an ally, facing Li Dian's attack, it is impossible to resist the majestic offensive of the Hussars...

Li Dian rushed in front. He held a gun in one hand and a shield in the other. He opened and closed all the way and was invincible.

Although the sword and shield are like a closer combination of weapons, the gun and shield are also extremely sharp in Li Dian's hands.

Although Li Dian usually likes to read a book slowly when he has nothing to do, and he is quite like a scholar, but when he is on the battlefield, when fighting, a ferocious aura blooms all over his body, and he suddenly changes from polite to polite. The literati turned into ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts.

Several soldiers of the Shen clan were driven towards Li Dian from the corridor, roaring and sacrificing their lives for their lives, and struck Li Dian with swords and spears.

Li Dian was not afraid, and without any pause, he charged forward with the sword and spear.

Two spears were lined up on the shield. The spear in Li Dian's hand came first and almost stabbed the first Shen clan soldier in the chest. Then he pushed the body of the Shen clan soldier towards the other Shen clan soldiers. In the past, "Death to those who resist!" 』

Before Li Dian's roar had completely subsided, there were louder and more voices, followed by Li Dian's voice.

"Abandon your weapon and kneel down to avoid death!" If you resist stubbornly, you will be killed without mercy! 』

A huge sound wave hit the Shen clan's array. Some Shen clan soldiers saw that the momentum was not good. Some of the legs and feet became weak and fell to the ground uncontrollably. Some of the lower body and upper body had a violent conflict, abandoning the will of the upper body. Turn directly to escape...

Shen Dan, who was preparing to evacuate from the city, saw the team he sent to stop Li Dian. They couldn't even slow down in the slightest. They pounced on them and were all killed. She couldn't help but feel terrified in her heart. She repeatedly urged her family to evacuate quickly and speed up.

But this battle happened so quickly. Many of Shen Dan's family members still couldn't understand what was going on, and they were still hesitating whether to bring this or that beloved thing with them, and whether the private money should also be taken away. They should be taken away together, etc., so I can’t get up quickly no matter what.

Shen Dan urged several times, but still couldn't get up.

In desperation, Shen Dan could only take his bodyguards, abandon those family members who could not keep up, and flee.

Shen Dan knew that if he could not escape from Shangyong before Li Dian rushed here or the Hussars took control of the four gates, then he might never have to escape.

Family is important, but his life is obviously more important to Shen Dan himself.

Shen Dan chose to stay away from the direction in which Li Dian was charging, and behind him there were those tribesmen who were all slow and dawdling. They must have been able to stop Li Dian and others for a while...

That's right, as long as there is a moment's gap, Shen Dan can escape!

Although it is said that leaving this Shen family has built a foundation that has lasted for hundreds of years, Shen is as worried as a knife being twisted, but it is like a knife being twisted, that is, it is just "like", and it is not really twisting with a knife. As long as you escape, then There may still be hope for a comeback.

Although Cao Cao's side...

But there will definitely be no good fruit to eat if you stay!

Shen Dan gritted his teeth and headed east along the street with his remaining small group of guards.

escape!

Get out!

Just when Shen Dan was about to turn around the street and rush out of the east city gate, several hussar soldiers rushed out from the alley on the street.

"Hold them off!" 』

"Don't run!" 』

Both sides shouted at the same time.

Shen Dan didn't care too much at first. After all, those hussars were not the brutal Li Dian, and there were not many of them. He just needed to stop them a little and not let them get in the way. Shen Dan didn't want to delay with these hussars, nor did he intend to chop off the heads of these hussars who were making detours. He just wanted to escape.

But Shen Dan never expected that one of the hussars took out something from behind, unscrewed the lid, and put it on the fuse hanging in front of him...

The grenade passed over the heads of the guards that Shen Dan sent out to intercept, and then rolled down!

Shen Dan watched the grenade slide, jump, and come to him with a cheerful spirit...

"Damn it!"

Shen Dan's face changed drastically.

His last thought was, how could these hussars be so unethical? !
