Chapter 1157 God’s Will Is Better than Man’s Will

On the entire battlefield, looking around, all you can see are the corpses of various people and horses. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have known that there could be so much red on the battlefield.

Bright red is generally the color of an artery that has just been cut, deep red is the color of blood about to coagulate, and there are various mixed colors of chalk, yellow ash, fine sand, coarse soil, plus adhesion. The red on the skin, tendons, broken bones, shirts, flags, and equipment are also different. It is not an exaggeration to say it is colorful red.

How much blood can flow in the human body?

Fei Qian forgot the specific number, but he looked at the piles of corpses piled up like mountains, stretching from the battlefield to the bottom of the city, and then from the bottom of the city to the distance. They were all stacked on top of each other, and some were not. I don’t know if they were trampled by war horses or trampled by rioters and refugees. They have almost turned into mud, and are stuck together with the mud...

Thousands of people worked together with their blood to create the poignant and beautiful picture in front of us.

All kinds of weapons and flags were abandoned everywhere. Some of the horses that had lost their owners were unable to sustain their injuries, while others were stumbling on the battlefield, seemingly searching for their true identity among the piles of corpses. owner.

Ma Chao's army was completely defeated!

The shortcomings of the mob are fully exposed. If they can maintain their victory, they still have some momentum. Once defeated, they have no resilience at all. They will collapse immediately, without even a little resistance.

There may be some troops trying to turn the tide, but the fleeing refugees are like honeycombs that have been stabbed hard, buzzing and flying together. Even the most organized queues are scattered by them, falling into helplessness. In the chaos of rescue. In addition, Jia Xu's troops crossed from behind and sharply separated the fleeing troops again, and there was no longer any suspense on the entire battlefield.

Speaking of Jia Xu, where did he get the troops?

Fei Qian pondered in his mind, waiting for Jia Xu to come and reply.

The entire battle was said to be a collaboration between cavalry and infantry, but it was more like a full display of cavalry power on such plain terrain.

With the cavalry under the command of Zhao Yun, they are like sharp blades that can be cut at a glance. They are extremely ferocious. In addition, Fei Qian spared no effort in assembling the armor and armor, so they are also strong in strength. With the protection, everything he passed was invincible. Ma Chao's army was mixed and his command was not smooth, so he had no power to fight back. He was quickly knocked down, crushed, and broken through. It was reasonable.

Once the entire battle formation is destroyed, it will be very difficult for the elite soldiers to resume command, not to mention the originally rough Ma Chao Legion. Some people try to use their own bravery to Resistance, but under the impact of the three waves of Zhao Yun, refugees and Jia Xu, they are like a mantis blocking a car, unable to overturn much waves.

But what made Fei Qian a little dissatisfied was that at the end of the battle, even the cavalry formation commanded by Zhao Yun was a little scattered. After all, the weight of the back armor of light cavalry and heavy cavalry was different. They can control and cooperate, maybe because they are more motivated to kill, maybe because there is a difference in the physical strength of the war horses. In the end, there is a big gap between the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the armored heavy cavalry...

In addition, the formation of the heavily armored cavalry also seemed scattered in the end. Although one heavy armored cavalry could be seen driving away the Qiang people who were more than ten times his size like a tiger among the sheep, but for For heavy armored cavalry, only when they are gathered together can they show their greatest advantage. Once they are spread too far apart, there will be a corresponding increase in risks.

You must know that the equipment on a heavy cavalry is basically the value of two to three light cavalry, and the consumption of a light cavalry is basically equivalent to three to five ordinary infantry...

This is all money!

Zhao Yun, Fei Qian pinched his small beard and thought, might be more suitable to command light cavalry like Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, which is relatively less equipped with armor. As for the heavy cavalry, you still need to find someone to manage it separately.

It's not that Zhao Yun's personal ability is not strong and he has any shortcomings in commanding the cavalry, it's just that the battlefield is extremely noisy and the communication is backward. Zhao Yun has to be the vanguard of the attack and the command of the rear. He can do this. The current situation is already very good, but for Fei Qian, it is obviously better to command the light and heavy cavalry separately.

Xu Huang was directing the infantry to line up and clean the battlefield.

These veterans who had participated in many battles carried swords and guns and skillfully rummaged through the piles of corpses. Whenever they saw injured but not dead Qiang people, they would replenish their swords and guns without thinking. The sudden screams echoed across the battlefield, while those Qiang people who surrendered and were captured held their heads, as if they were trying to close their ears and eyes tightly. They squatted together, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Congratulations to the general on all your extraordinary achievements! In one battle, he recovered the Yinshan Mountains, in the first battle he secured the center of Guanzhong, straight through the fortress, to the south of Henan, defeated the Hulu, and suppressed Qinchuan. It is truly an unparalleled achievement!"

"Sun Tzu said: 'Surprise.' A general uses his troops like a god, destroys the enemy like a sharp blade cutting through rotten wood, and like a strong wind tearing down wormwood, all done in one go, heartily! He is truly a natural-born general and a guardian of the country!"

"Military affairs are the power of heaven and earth, and generals are the order of the commander-in-chief. Without martial arts, it is not enough to curb violence, and without wisdom, it is not enough to control violence. Generals are outstanding, brave, brave, and brave. , the sound of gold and jade, the sonorous and exciting things, are exactly our role models, setting an example for the world!"

It has to be said that the Guanzhong gentry still have many years of cultural accumulation, and their vocabulary is indeed rich. Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Guan and other disciples from Guanzhong immediately came up in a hurry. They supported Fei Qian's horses with each other's words, and they looked as if they had won a battle.

Fei Qian kept the smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "It's too much praise, it's too much praise, I don't dare, I don't dare."

What an awkward yet polite smile is can be understood just by looking at Fei Qian's face.

Fei Qian can also understand the behavior of the children of the Guanzhong gentry clan.

Refugees swept through You Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin. In addition, due to this military disaster, Guanzhong, where many gentry children had fled, became even more empty...

As the saying goes, a horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall!

For these gentry children in Guanzhong, and even for many gentry children in the Han Dynasty, where would the extra land come from without famine? !

No matter when it happens, whenever there is a famine, the most troubled people are the government and the court, and the happiest people are the nobles and nobles in the countryside. If the world is peaceful, there are bumper harvests every year, and farmers live and work in peace and contentment, how can these nobles and right-wingers suddenly become rich and embezzle real estate?

The land in ancient times was just like the stocks of later generations. Whenever there was a disaster, it was like a thousand stocks falling to the limit. It was always the ordinary people who were heartbroken. As for the big institutions and big chaebols, their eyes were shining with excitement. I could drink two more bottles of red wine from 1982 in the evening...

No, now is the turning point of the stock market, but now all the extra money in the stock market is in Fei Qian's hands. How can these Guanzhong nobles not rush up and brush their faces in such a situation?

Neither Zhao Wen nor Zhong Shao were reliable now. Only the General Zhengxi in front of him was handsome or not. The most important thing was to live well. Well, he had strength. , after all, it is more reliable than the Zhong family in Xishan at sunset, right?

Fei Qian chuckled and did not continue to argue with these nobles. Instead, he changed the topic, reached out and took Pang Tong, who was snickering at the side, to his side, and said: "Ah, I haven't introduced you to you yet. This is the high disciple of Pang Degong in Lushan, Jingxiang." , known as Feng Chu, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan!"

As Fei Qian spoke, he gently pushed the struggling Pang Tong forward and said, "Everyone, please stay close to each other. I have military affairs to deal with, so I won't accompany you. After this matter, I will treat you to a banquet. I hope you all will appreciate it then, haha..."

"ah?"

"Ha, definitely, definitely."

"General, please do as you please. We shall wait for the general's call."

Everyone answered in a hurry.

Pang Tong glared at Fei Qian, then turned his eyes left and right, as if to say, why are there so many people pushing me out?

Fei Qian also glared back at Pang Yi, and also glanced left and right, meaning, look around, who is more suitable than you?

Pang Tong rolled his eyes covertly, curled his lips, then put on a fake smile, put his hands on his sleeves, and greeted the surrounding Guanzhong nobles in a friendly manner...

These children of the Guanzhong gentry looked at Fei Qian away with some resentment, and then quickly put on smiles and began to get close to Pang Tong.

Of course it would be best if the boss could say something first, but if not, it would be good to get familiar with the secretary first...

This is the case at all times and in all countries.

Pang Tong also knew in his heart that he was the only one who could control the situation at the moment, so although he was a little depressed, he still played such a role. Who told Fei Qian that even among the big-name nobles, Pang Tong was the only one present?

Just like in the high-level yamen of the imperial court, they open and close their mouths to talk about women and tell dirty jokes. That is called romance, tasting, and adjusting the atmosphere. It is naturally a high-class and elegant thing. Regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone needs to cover their mouths and laugh with them. ;Then the gangsters in the alley speak the same words when they open and close their mouths. That is called obscenity and harassment. It is disgusting words that are so foul and muddy that they make people want to slap them in the mouth for a dozen or twenty times...

With Pang Degong leading the production and Feng Chu's nickname, issues such as Pang Tong's age can be ignored, and he can naturally sit on an equal footing with the nobles in Guanzhong and talk loudly.

Of course, Fei Qian asked Pang Tong to make contact first, and he also wanted Pang Tong to get to know these people first. This naturally belongs to the tacit understanding between Fei Qian and Pang Tong and does not need to be stated explicitly.

It's just that some people can be put aside for the time being and ignored, while some people cannot be ignored directly, such as Li Ru...

But when he saw Li Ru again, Fei Qian couldn't help but froze for a while.

Although Li Ru could not be said to be as elegant as "riding the province to see the bright light, the rooster crows to pay homage to the founding of the People's Republic of China. He heard the imperial robe in the distance, and secretly knew the fragrance of the king", he was also dignified in appearance, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, which was extraordinary. Even when the capital was moved, he only lost some weight and looked a little thin.

But this Li Ru in front of me...

Is this still Li Ru?

The black hair on his head has all turned into white strands, and his face has lost its rosy luster, and has added a lot of deep wrinkles. Because he is too thin, the jawbones on his face appear to be high and the eye sockets are sunken. Two people.

If it weren't for Jia Xu's introduction, and if he vaguely remembered the look on his face, Fei Qian would hardly be able to recognize him.

No wonder Li Ru dares to appear openly in front of everyone now. To be honest, if Jia Xu hadn't told him, Fei Qian would have basically regarded them as two people. This change in appearance is indeed too big, just like a threesome. A forty-year-old is the same as a fifty-sixty-year-old. If I didn't say it, who would believe that they are the same person?

"...Li Changshi, please sit down..." Fei Qian extended his hand to invite him and said, "...I never thought that after not seeing each other for so many days, it would be like this..."

"I've seen Zheng Xi." Li Ru said with cupped hands. The exposed arm was also very skinny, almost skin and bones.

"Li Changshi, why are you here?" Fei Qian couldn't help but say, as if he was asking someone, but also as if he was asking something.

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Ru, and Li Ru was also stunned for a moment when he saw Fei Qian. Li Ru stared at Fei Qian's waist. After a moment of silence, Fang lowered his head and said: "...what heaven has revealed is beyond the reach of man... March west out of Mianshui, turn north, move as fast as a falcon, Ru Biao, I haven’t seen him for many years, but he has established a solid foundation, which is really admirable... I came here this time, partly in response to Wen He’s invitation, but partly because I also had doubts in my heart, and asked Zheng Xi to give me some advice..."

Fei Qian looked at Li Ru and said, "If you don't dare to give me advice, please ask Chang Shi to speak frankly."

Speaking of which, Li Ru can be regarded as a figure who played an important turning point in Fei Qian's life. Perhaps without Li Ru, Fei Qian would not have had the opportunity to meet Cai Yong, and naturally he would not have been recommended by Cai Yong. After studying under Pang Degong, speaking of it, Li Ru was more or less half of Fei Qian's benefactor.

Of course, for these two parties, perhaps at that point, no one could have imagined that the situation would evolve into what it is now.

"...Excuse me, Zheng Xi," although Jia Xu also mentioned it, but when he actually saw the Zhongxing sword hanging on Fei Qian's waist, Li Ru still felt a little like he was in another world. He originally wanted to ask some words. , I don’t know why it was changed to one sentence by mistake, "...Dong Zhongying’s death, what caused it?"

Dong Zhuo?

Fei Qian slightly frowned.

It seems that Dong Zhuo's death was a huge blow to Li Ru, and even became Li Ru's heartache. Maybe the smarter people are, the easier it is to get into trouble, or maybe they look down on Lushan when they are trapped in it?

Although he didn't know the specific reason, since Li Ru asked, he might as well give Fei Qian the answer he thought about himself.

Fei Qian turned his head slightly and looked at the group of Guanzhong gentry who gathered together in the distance. He and Pang Tong were talking about something unknown. He seemed to be very interested and pointed happily at the battlefield. He said: "Zhongying was defeated. He originated from this!"

Li Ru followed Fei Qian's gaze and saw the group of disciples from the Guanzhong gentry clan, and his expression froze slightly. He originally thought that Fei Qian would say that Dong Zhuo was cruel, incompetent in governance, good at killing ministers, and his military commanders were disordered, etc., but he never expected that Fei Qian would actually say that the biggest reason was this...

"Hmph...hehe...hahaha..." Li Ru suddenly trembled all over and laughed uncontrollably, laughing so hard that tears flowed from his nose, "...what God has revealed is beyond the reach of man! God's will is like this, God's will Ah...now that I know this, I wonder what I want to conquer the West?"

"...If we try our best, we might be able to change it..." Fei Qian said.

"If it can't be changed, what should I do?" Li Ru didn't care to wipe the snot and tears from his face, and just stared at Fei Qian with a confused face, his eyes as dim as will-o'-the-wisps.

Fei Qian did not answer, but was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the battlefield littered with corpses...

"...Hahaha, I have been suffering from this knot for many years, but I never thought that it would be solved now..." A smile slowly appeared on the corner of Li Ru's mouth, then widened, he stood up with a big smile, and bowed to Fei Qian. "...If you don't give up, this flesh and blood killing field can be regarded as a certain share!"
