Chapter 1088 Those Sent Away and Those Left Behind

In the government hall in Pingyang, Fei Qian patted the table gently and finally let out a long sigh.

"Zichu, please send an order so that the soldiers in Beiqu can come back..." Fei Qian told Huang Xu who was standing beside him, "Also, let Shuye come..."

During the period when Liu Xie arrived in Bingbei, Fei Qian transferred part of his troops to the Beiqu camp and did not fully display them in front of Liu Xie and other officials, including most of the armored cavalry and heavy infantry.

Although the types and total strength of these soldiers may not be concealed to some extent in the future and will eventually be revealed, but before that, Fei Qian still wants to hide them for as long as possible.

After all, now is not the time to show off.

Just like a saying often said by the older generation, wealth should not be exposed. It’s not that the older generation doesn’t understand the psychological satisfaction when showing off wealth, but compared to the risks incurred by showing wealth, the older generation feels that this psychological satisfaction is not worth bearing in life. More threats, that's all.

Is Fei Qian's strength enough to level A with his eyes closed?

It would be great if it really existed. Fei Qian could now send troops to fight from west to east, sweep from north to south, and let the cavalry replace all words without any pause. From then on, the world became a completely unified country.

Ideals are beautiful, but people always need to live in reality.

Let’s not talk about whether the number of soldiers can support the consumption. Just talk about the two Hu regimes in history that successfully used the cavalry plus servants to conquer China. The Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were the only two Hu regimes.

People who are born with the attributes of gongjing will definitely say that since I, Da Yuan, and I, Da Qing, can fight with each other, eat all the way, eat all the way, and fight all the way, then why can't you? If you can't do it, it just means that you are a coward, you are a LOW, you are good for nothing, you are worse than shit...

But the problem is that when discussing issues, the experts often take their ancestors' skills of taking quotes out of context to the extreme. They only seek to be one-sided, or even correct on only one point, and then they can discuss the conclusion that a white horse is not a horse.

After all, at this time of the Han Dynasty, no matter in terms of population, economic development, social productivity, etc., it was far behind the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Even according to general knowledge, the population of the Song Dynasty was 120 million, which was double the population of 60 million at the peak of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the development of commerce during the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian Jurchens who came out of the poor mountains and rivers , you really don’t need too many reserves, anyway, you will definitely be richer wherever you go than where you came from.

Moreover, the war systems of the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are called soldiers or Han banners, but in fact they are slaves. Regardless of whether it was the Yuan or the Qing Dynasty, the inherent cultural shortcomings caused the Central Plains system to still belong to the structure of a slave society even when it had entered the late feudal period and the early stage of capitalism. Such a backward system was full of barbarism and bloodshed.

Those who disobey orders will be killed.

Those who cannot be conquered will be killed.

Those who fail to coordinate will be killed.

If you don't like it, kill it.

It's fun to watch, Zhan.

If there is not enough food and grass, behead it.

If you eat too much food and grass, you will cut it off...

In the face of the Mongols and Jurchens who advocated force, death was the only thing they had at their disposal, so it was simple and effective. But in fact, within the upper echelons of Mongolia and Jurchen, they have already packed their bags and packed their bags, ready to be like the barbarians for thousands of years, fishing as much as they can, and turning around immediately when the situation is not good. Go back to the meadow or the forest.

What's more, anyone who studies history carefully will find that the fundamental reason for the success of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties is not the Hu people, but the Han people themselves.

One second, the Ming army fled after seeing the Jurchens, and the next second it became the brave and capable Han army. The people are still the same people, and the generals are also the same...

It is impossible to establish a stable regime by relying solely on massacre. Otherwise, the Yuan Dynasty would not have declined so quickly, and the Qing Dynasty would not have quickly changed its tune and said that it wanted the Manchus and Han people to be one family. Isn’t it enough that the Japanese will kill Chinese people in future generations? It's really that simple, just kill and kill. Then why do we need to find the crotch cloth of the Central Asian public and build a puppet government?

Fei Qian can learn from this model of using war to support war, but can it really be adopted?

Disaster.

Unless Feiqian just wants a devastated mess.

What's more, Fei Qian had just experienced several battles in succession and had not yet fully recovered. He simply did not have the strategic reserves to maintain high-intensity battles.

Therefore, proper hiding is the best choice at the moment. Fei Qian doesn't want to experience Yuan Shu's super VIP treatment in the early Three Kingdoms period.

Yuan Shu was regarded as a father-level figure in the Three Kingdoms by many people in later generations, and he was the godfather of many famous people. It was not without reason. In fact, the rise and fall of the two Yuans was the beginning of the entire Three Kingdoms. Grows from the flesh and blood of Yuan's corpse...

"I've seen the prince..." Huang Cheng has gained some weight now, and his originally burly figure has become more and more powerful. His face, which seemed to be a bit honest before, has also taken on a majestic appearance due to the period of time when he moved to recuperate. .

Fei Qian nodded, asked Huang Cheng to sit down, and then said: "Since Shougao has already left for Heluo...and there are many damages in Luoyang City, so weapons and equipment still need to be supplied here for some time." day……"

Shougao is Huang Xianliang's name, but now Huang Xianliang has changed his name to Huang Xian. After all, he is already a captain. Using a two-character name again is somewhat inconsistent with the habits of the Han Dynasty.

This time Liu Xie returned to Luoyang. Although Fei Qian did not follow him, he still sent two thousand soldiers and horses to follow. As the cavalry leader was Huang Xian, and the infantry leader was two people. One was Yang Wu, named Shouzheng; The other one is Peng Yue, named Xi Shui, who jointly serves as the guard of Liu Xie's imperial army.

After hearing this, Huang Cheng agreed, saying that he would start arranging the matter when he returned later.

When Huang Xian brings such a force to Heluo, it can be said that he will not be able to get many resources from Yang Biao. Therefore, to a certain extent, Fei Qian will still need to provide material support for at least a period of time.

"How are Jingguo and Chengxi's arrangements going?" Fei Qian asked again. Speaking of the name of Jingguo, Fei Qian felt like laughing, but it was indeed a bit undignified when he laughed. In addition, Huang Cheng, a Han Dynasty person, may not be able to understand this joke from later generations, so he had to hold it back. Living……

Jingguo, surnamed Liu and Mingli.

It is said that my ancestors were descendants of the old Liu family of the Han Dynasty for who knows how many generations. Anyway, the Liu family has had many princes since Liu Bang's generation, and how many blood lines have been derived from it. Basically, if anyone with the surname Liu is really particular, he might be able to find a prince by following the clues. So now, The so-called royal descendants of the Liu family are actually quite common.

Chengxi, surnamed Cai Mingyu.

It has nothing to do with the Cai family in Jingzhou. On the contrary, he is a member of the Chenliu Cai family, that is, a collateral descendant of Old Cai. When he learned that Old Cai Cai Yong was in Pingyang Academy, he came all the way to seek an official position or something. Found Fei Qian's door.

Huang Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Everything has been arranged. The two of them will set off tomorrow... However, Lord, since they are using the time, why did they not go to Er Yuan's banner, but to Cao Liu's place... "It was hard to understand that Er Yuan, who was not in the limelight, was not selected. Huang Cheng could understand a little bit more if he went to Cao Cao's side, but where did Liu Bei grow up?

Fei Qian smiled and said casually: "Uncle Ye is interested... There are many people under Er Yuan's banner. Even if they go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything, and Cao Liu's place is where the north and south take over..."

"...Oh, I see, the Lord is really far-sighted..." Huang Cheng suddenly realized.

Fei Qian was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Where are the people of the Mo family and the people of the Huang family? Have the arrangements been made?"

Huang Cheng whispered: "I have already set off in advance, and I will definitely meet him on the road..."

Naturally, you need to be on guard when using time. If it is really needed, it will not be fun to be beaten upside down like Jiang Gan. Therefore, Liu Li and Cai Yu were the first, and they pretended to be accidental encounters on the way. The disciples of the Mo family are the second line, and the people of the Huang family are the last line of insurance. After all, Huang Yueying still has the identity of an elder of the Mohist family, so in this matter, although the children of the Mohist family are not too willing, they still have to obey the arrangement.

"Okay." Fei Qian nodded, stared at Huang Cheng and said, "This matter must be kept secret. You only need to know it, and it must not be spread outside!"

Huang Cheng also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly handed over his hand and Su Rong agreed...

…………………………

"Haha... Zhong Jing is so elegant..." Fei Qian smiled and said as he walked into the courtyard of the post house, "Such a wonderful sound of the piano is enough to wash your ears and soothe your heart... Zhong Jing, don't blame someone for disturbing you. …”

"General Zhengxi received the award, but I really don't deserve it." Liu Dan greeted the guests respectfully and said with a smile, "Someone is not familiar with scriptures and is not good at martial arts. He only has some skills with silk strings, and he can use them to show off... Haha, if it happens one day If you don't have enough food and clothing, you can make ends meet..."

Hearing this, Fei Qian also smiled and said: "Zhongjing really loves to joke... Ah, I was not free a few days ago and treated Zhongjing so slowly that I came here to apologize today. I hope Zhongjing can forgive me..."

Liu Dan quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare, someone came here rashly, it's already disturbing..."

The two parties were polite for a while, then moved to the hall and sat down. After the attendants served tea and snacks, Fei Qian glanced at Liu Dan and said: "... I thought Zhong Jing would go to the river with His Majesty. Luo, I never thought...haha..."

Liu Dan came from Chang'an with some officials after Liu Xie arrived in Pingyang. However, when Liu Xie led his people to Luoyang, Liu Dan did not leave, but stayed.

Speaking of which, Fei Qian and Liu Dan also had a relationship. He led the troops to kill Guo Si in Meiyang. After entering Chang'an, he had a brief conversation with Liu Dan in front of Changle Palace, but that was all.

Liu Dan is the younger brother of Liu Fan and the second son of Liu Yan. With this status, there are naturally some things...

Liu Dan smiled awkwardly and said: "Well, I am not afraid of General Zhengxi's laughter... I am lazy by nature... Although Heluo is good, but... I am afraid of war, so I still stay here to enjoy the scenery of Bingbei. More comfortable..."

Fei Qian laughed and said: "Zhong Jing loves to joke. In the land of Heluo, His Majesty is wise and wise, and Yang Gong is loyal. How could there be any war... On the contrary, barbarians are everywhere here, and the slightest mistake will be the flames of war." Get up again..."

Liu Dan shook his head and said: "With General Zhengxi here, how dare Hu Man make trouble? What's more... alas... to be honest with the general, my brother has been appointed governor of Jiaozhou and has already left for Panyu..."

"Oh?" Fei Qian raised his eyebrows. He really didn't know about this. Liu Yan is now the shepherd of Yizhou, and Liu Fan has become the governor of Jiaozhou. Are the father and son planning to separate the entire southwestern part of the Han Dynasty?

"...My father..." Liu Dan continued, "Alas...my father always loved a certain young brother Zhang...but a certain person who was neither good at literature nor martial arts had never been liked by my father...not to mention that the Hanzhong Road had been blocked by a weir. It’s difficult to enter Sichuan due to the blockage... Brother X said that he should go to Jiaozhou, but... Jiaozhou is heavily infested with insects, and X has been afraid of leeches since he was a child, so... alas... So X had no choice but to come to the general's office shamelessly. , please give me a basket of food and a cup of drink..."

In the Han Dynasty, there were not many good roads to enter Sichuan, such as Xie Valley, Ziwu Valley, etc., which were actually the routes from Hanzhong to Chang'an. However, Hanzhong now claims that the Five Pecks of Rice Road is in chaos and is occupied by Zhang Lu, so it is This means that the communication between Sichuan and Chang'an was interrupted.

So if you really want to enter Sichuan now, you can only go upstream from Jingzhou like Liu Bei did later.

As for Jiaozhou, if it is divided according to later generations, it includes an area including central and northern Vietnam today, plus the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi. And this area is indeed an area now inhabited by woods, insects and various beasts. In fact, there are not many areas of human activity in the world, so Liu Dan's statement seems to be reasonable.

But the question is, if something is said in the past, must it be true?

But how to deal with it now and how to use it?

Liu Dan is different from the previous people who found Fei Qian.

One is a person like Liu Dan, who may not have much fame in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and has not left any specific deeds. He either has no chance to display his talents, or he does not have much talent at all.

There are many like this among the nobles.

If you understand political affairs and people's livelihood, managing a place and a county is not a big problem, but if you want to go into battle to kill the enemy and strategize, it may be insufficient.

If not many people noticed Fei Qian before, so basically speaking, the gentry children who came to Bingzhou were either by chance, or they were originally related to Bingzhou, or they were talents recruited by Fei Qian himself. But people like Liu Dan, at least for now, are considered the first.

How to arrange Liu Dan, and perhaps others like Liu Dan in the future, has become a problem facing Fei Qian...

As Fei Qian's name becomes more and more famous, more and more people will come with various purposes. Some of these people may have the same goals as Fei Qian, seeking to be attached to or let him. He has reached a higher level, but there must be some people who are actually the same type as Liu Li and Cai Yu sent by Fei Qian, just to be useful at critical moments.

Fei Qian didn't doubt this, but if he eliminated all people like Liu Dan because of some suspicions and left no one behind, it would inevitably hurt others by mistake and damage his reputation, so it was somewhat unworthy.

You must stay, and you have to show a welcome, but where to use it becomes a problem.

In a central area like Pingyang, as long as someone is interested, they can find out something. If the news is leaked at a critical moment, Fei Qian himself will be passive.

And far away from the fringe areas, one is that the control intensity is definitely much worse, but it is more convenient for these people to carry out activities, and the other is to let these people do things. These people are also more difficult to control than in central areas like Pingyang. Easy to get some real rights…
