Chapter 1985 Fei sneaks into the loopholes, Yuyang hesitates


    『Smart people tend to think a lot... 』 Fei Qian rode forward slowly, and said to Zhuge Liang who was beside him, 『But in the same way, sometimes you think too much and ignore the things you should have noticed...』


    『Please advise Hushi. 』Zhuge Liang pursed his lips.


    Zhuge Liang did not expect that after he arrived at the Hussar General''s Mansion, he did not start arguing and discussing certain things in the General''s Mansion as he had expected before, and even Pang Tong did not follow him, but Fei Qian led him all the way out. General Hussar''s Mansion has arrived at Chang''an Mausoleum.


    Fei Qian pointed forward slightly.


    Here is near the Yangling Mausoleum in Chang''an, and it is also a place relatively close to Jingshui.


    Because of the convenience of water conservancy, this area has always been densely cultivated and relatively densely populated in Guanzhong. On this piece of land, the construction and development of water conservancy facilities and farming and mulberry cultivation have never stopped.


    The reason why I chose to bring Zhuge Liang to Yangling is because this place is the most representative of Chang’an, and the Han Dynasty has officially entered its heyday. The rule of Wenjing also has the foundation of Emperor Xiaowu’s prodigal willfulness...


    Among the four fields, basically all the places you see are plowed fields.


    In the fields, the farmers are farming. Although the weather is not very hot, or even a little cold, they are basically wearing short clothes and jackets, working in the fields with bare hands and feet.


    Don''t underestimate this short jacket, which represents the class gap between slaves and farmers. Slaves are not people, they are tools. No one will wear any clothes for a tool that deals with mud and water all day long, so slaves are basically naked, with rags around their waists at most.


    Farmers are different.


    『In the pre-Qin period, most of the people who worked here were slaves of the six kingdoms... 』 Fei Qian pointed out, 『But now...all are the people of the Han Dynasty...』


    Slaves have no human rights, so when they see a nobleman, they either hide in the grass immediately, or immediately kneel down on the ground, and cannot look at the nobleman''s face, nor let the nobleman see their own face.


    Now, the farmers working in the fields did not stop their movements because of the arrival of Fei Qian and others. They were still working, and they didn''t need to hide anything, let alone kneel down on the ground immediately.


    『But the problem is...』 Fei Qian glanced at Zhuge Liang, 『There are still many people who want to make them kneel on the ground again...』


    Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then turned his attention to the farmer not far away.


    These farmers had a natural demeanor, they didn''t seem a little nervous because of the arrival of Fei Qian and others, and they didn''t have some movements out of shape because of the need to perform in front of Fei Qian and others. They were still dealing with the land one by one, like As their ancestors have been used to for thousands of years.


    Farmers have the right to walk on the same road as Fei Qian and others, but slaves cannot even walk on the road, only grass and shrubs. Anyone who sees a slave can kill him, as long as he thinks that the slave has bumped into himself, and then has enough money to compensate the value of the slave, but he cannot easily kill the farmer, because the price paid is obviously much higher, even Kill for life.


    Farmers can also live in houses. Although these houses are on the Loess Plateau, maybe they are just opened in the mountains and dug a hole, but at least they have earth walls, front yards, eaves and windows, and slaves are not eligible to live in them. For a house, you can only build a nest and put up a grass shed at most.


    Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang again, and found that Zhuge Liang came all the way, but he didn''t find any problems, or he did, but he didn''t say anything?


    Hey, after all, it is a youth version...


    『Do you know why there were more slaves in the pre-Qin period, but more and more farmers in the beginning of the Han Dynasty? ’ Fei Qian asked. There were also slaves in the Han Dynasty, but obviously no more than in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. At one time, some people even proposed to abolish slavery. Although they were suppressed in the end, it has shown that in the Han Dynasty, some people realized the problem and tried to solve it. The problem is that the old forces are very strong and cannot be defeated.


    『Is the system of garrisoning the fields by the generals not a slave? Zhuge Liang did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.


    『The people who farm the fields are mostly bond slaves, not domestic slaves. 』Fei Qian didn''t shy away from anything. In a way, those proletarians who leased the land in Feiqian''s hands are indeed slaves of Feiqian, because most of their income must be turned over to Feiqian, but these people have a limited number of years, not This is the case all their lives. When their farming years are over, they will gradually become normal farmers, self-cultivating farmers.


    So these people are more like contracted slaves. And this kind of slave who signed a contract and gave the fruits of his labor to a certain or uncertain master will exist in human society for a long time, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming, and even...


    『Qi Nu…』Zhuge Liang took a deep breath. According to Zhuge Liang''s intelligence, he understood Fei Qian''s meaning very clearly. Contract slaves are voluntary, or semi-voluntary, but they still have the opportunity to choose after all, while for domestic slaves, they don''t even have the opportunity to choose. Make an exception for promotion, otherwise you will be a slave for the rest of your life.


    『Emperor Xiaowu just promoted a cavalry slave, and he was already criticized... Is the general going to promote the slave of the world? "Zhuge Liang said, "This is an enemy of the world..."


    Feiqian laughed, "If so, why didn''t Guanzhong go against it?" 』


    "That''s because..." Zhuge said halfway, and then found some problems, so he swallowed the follow-up words, and then frowned slightly and began to think.


    『Kong Ming must have seen all around these days, right? Fei Qian glanced at Zhuge Liang, thinking that this little white radish still looks so crisp and delicious, "Is there any person who farms the fields, the resentment is stagnant, and it is miserable?" 』


    Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly.


    Not only is there none, but there are also quite a few Tuntian families who leased Feiqian’s fields, enshrining the tablet with a particularly long name of Feiqian. You must know that these Tuntian families are not wealthy families, and under such family conditions Next, still have to squeeze out the food between the teeth to exchange for a **** seat customized by the temple, which is enough to prove in the hearts of these people whether Fei Qian is a wicked person or a good person.


    This makes Zhuge Liang a little strange, and there is actually another aspect behind General Hussar’s words, that is, the Guanzhong gentry also has no special opinion on Fei Qian’s occupation of so much land for farming...


    Feiqian smiled, waved to Huang Xu, then took out a small scroll from Huang Xu''s hand, and handed it to Zhuge Liang, "This is the law of farming... I think Kong Ming didn''t read it carefully..."


    Tuntian law?


    Zhuge Liang held it in his hand. This is true. After arriving in Chang''an, he was overwhelmed with various things. Then he walked around and looked around, and then thought about what Pang Tong said. When he had time, Zhuge Liang would pay attention to some detailed laws and regulations promulgated by Fei Qian? After all, these laws are only enforced on the territory of Fiqian, and they are basically not seen in other places.


    『This...this is...』Zhuge Liang quickly found the point, then looked up at Fei Qian, just about to say something, but found that Fei Qian handed over another scroll.


    『Jaetian law. ’ Fei Qian said.


    Zhuge Liang took it subconsciously, then hesitated for a moment, did not expand, but said: "There are other laws, why don''t you share them with Liang?" 』


    Fei Qian laughed, and said to Huang Xu: "Give it to him..."


    Huang Xu also smiled slightly, then untied a cloth bag from the horse beside him, and handed it to Zhuge Liang.


    Zhuge Liang tore open the tie of the cloth bag, and there were still a dozen scrolls inside...


    『Ah, it’s almost here...Kong Ming might as well go back and take a look at these scrolls... 』 Fei Qian said, 『Today a certain brought Kong Ming here, just to treat Kong Ming to a farm meal...』


    Fei dived and dismounted.


    The rest of the people dismounted together.


    Zhuge Liang followed Fei Qian, took two steps, and suddenly said: "Even so...the law of generals still has flaws..."


    Fei Qian nodded, but he didn''t seem to care what the flaw was, or he seemed to know what Zhuge Liang wanted to say, but what he said next seemed to have nothing to do with what Zhuge Liang said, "Someone also brought Alone, eating farm food together... Can Kong Ming know who he is? 』


    "who? Zhuge Liang couldn''t help asking.


    Feiqian glanced to the east, then said lightly: "It''s Your Majesty..."


    Zhuge Liang paused, stopped, and then looked at Fei Qian''s back. After a moment of stupefaction, he followed up again, but it seemed that his back was a little taller than before...


    But Zhuge Liang still didn''t realize that many things about General Hussars, whether they are flaws or secrets, are on the table, but some people can see it, some people can''t see it, and some people can''t see it. Even if you see it, you will be ignored until you finally realize it...


    …(··)…


    Youzhou.


    Yuyang.


    Cao Chun wants to expand the cavalry team.


    Thinking very much, the kind of thinking that I miss day and night.


    Because of Zhao Yun''s threat, Cao Chun was restless...


    Now there are less than 2,000 cavalry in Yuyang, but only half of them are veterans, and the rest have been replenished over time. However, if it is to deal with Zhao Yun''s threat, Cao Chun thinks that such a cavalry formation is obvious. Impossible to last long.


    After Ta Dun''s death, his tribe can be regarded as the source of a cavalry force. If all these are counted, there will be more than 6,000. However, although these Wuhuan people are skilled in numbers, their combat quality may not be high. Compared with the cavalry under General Hussars, the combat power is not superior, and there is another very important problem, the loyalty of these people is not very high.


    Although it is said that the Wuhuan people are now attached to Yuyang, as if they will obey Cao Chun''s orders, Cao Chun knows that this is just an appearance, just like many tribes in the desert, they are attached The strong, but once the strong fall, they will bite on the corpse like a hyena, and then decide to follow the next strong, or become the leader themselves.


    It''s like Xianbei rose up after the fall of the Huns.


    The only thing that can protect oneself, especially in areas like the border of the Han Dynasty, is only one''s own strength, and only the swords and guns in one''s hands.


    Although the Wuhuan people have a history of cooperating with the Han people, Cao Chun does not think that he can take it lightly. Although Cao Chun tried his best to give these Wuhuan people relatively fair treatment, let them know that they are the same as being around the Cao family banner. They want to protect their own clan and property, but Cao Chun also knows that if the truth of Ta Dun''s death is revealed, then he will face a knife stabbed in the back...


    Cao Chun felt in Yuyang, like walking on the tip of a knife. The situation was unstable, surrounded by enemies, and there were no soldiers and no help to wait for. Originally, Cao Cao''s supply should have arrived on time, but then there were some problems, some were weather problems, and some were human-made problems.


    The more important issue is that Cao Chun felt the approaching smell of blood. This is the intuition of a warrior. He thinks that the war will come soon. Maybe it will be the day when the snow melts, and the roar of the drums may be heard...


    To start a war, money, food and utensils are naturally indispensable, but Yuyang seems to be unable to support such a war consumption now. Yuyang County is relatively rich in products, rich in salt and iron. It used to be the county with the highest tax revenue in Youzhou, and it was also an important county in the north with a large population. But now, most of those who have the ability to leave have already moved away, and the rest are those who are reluctant or unable to leave and stay here, and the overall economic strength has declined a lot.


    Fortunately, it snowed a lot in Youzhou this year, and it melted late. Until now, the wilderness outside Yuyang City is still covered with snow, and the traffic is cut off. This makes Cao Chun somewhat at ease.


    Just peace of mind does not mean sitting and waiting, because the smell of blood seems to linger on the tip of Cao Chun''s nose, if there is any, it will not go away.


    『Ju Junshi...』Cao Chun leaned on the wall of Yuyang City and looked into the distance, "What does the Junshi think about the Xianbei matter?" 』


    In the Han Dynasty, military adviser was a very popular position, almost equivalent to the "staff officer" or "deputy officer" of later generations. If it corresponds to the later generations of enterprises, it is all kinds of deputy managers, who can''t even carry the word "general" on the kind.


    Ju Shou didn''t care about the title, or he cared but didn''t show it. Hearing Cao Chundong''s question, he said: "There is something wrong with it." 』


    The Xianbei people sent someone to contact them, saying that they were willing to join forces with Cao Chun to deal with Zhao Yun''s threat. Although something like a covenant is waiting to be torn from the first day of its birth, it still has a certain effect in certain periods of time.


    『Then, does Jujun have a clever plan? ’ Cao Chun asked.


    Cao Chun also doesn''t believe in Xianbei people. In this troubled world, how can there be someone who says a few words, and then there will be sincere cooperation, childhood sweethearts, er, probably the meaning, and then immediately they will be in step and cooperate with each other tacitly?


    『If a certain person is right...』Ju Shou frowned, and said slowly, 『I''m afraid that the hussars have severely injured Xianbei again...Xianbei made this move...』


    "what? ”Cao Chun couldn’t help looking at the field again, those white and black colors were still dazzling, “How is that possible? This... this weather, this road..."


    『The general forgot how the hussars attacked the Xianbei court last year? Jushou looked at the distance, "In the desert, barbarians live in pursuit of aquatic plants, floating erratically, in a year, only in winter, they will not migrate... This is the biggest flaw of barbarians in the desert... the original flaw here After all, no one can compete with the weather, and the wind and snow are enemies. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been only Wei Hussars... and now there are Fei Hussars... If there is someone, they will definitely attack Xianbei again and completely avoid the threat of the desert ...''


    When Jushou said this, Cao Chun''s expression immediately became dignified. Before the hussars raided Kebineng''s royal court, although Cao Chun had heard about it, he still couldn''t help but classify it as a category similar to the "Battle of Dragon City". As for Wei Qing''s battle of Dragon City, I don''t know. People applauded and applauded, and those who knew the ins and outs of it broke into a cold sweat for Wei Qing.


    It was the first time that Wei Qing, as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, went to the Xiongnu. It was also Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who resisted the pressure of most of the ministers, and it was almost a desperate move. Because of the failure of the siege of Mayi, the Zhuhe faction once again gained the upper hand in the Han Dynasty. Anyway, it was the emperor’s daughter who made the marriage, and the people of the Han Dynasty paid for it. The Zhuhe faction didn’t need to spend money, effort and people to fight the war. Second, there must be other benefits, so most of the people are peacemakers. Under such pressure and deadlock, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Wei Qing as a chariot general and commanded the expedition.


    It wasn''t that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already seen Wei Qing''s talent at that time, but that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no choice, after all, he was the only one who killed Wang Hui. During the siege of Mayi, Wei Qing was not even a side commander, but during the Battle of Dragon City, he was immediately the commander-in-chief of the entire army.


    Sure enough, in the battle of Dragon City, even though four groups went out to fight, all three groups were defeated. Only Wei Qing braved the wind and snow and succeeded in surprise attack on Dragon City. It wasn''t that Wei Qing planned to raid Dragon City from the very beginning, but at that time Wei Qing had to fight for his life. You must know that in the Han Dynasty without positioning equipment, any strong wind could cause Wei Qing to deviate from the direction and disappear forever In the middle of the desert.


    Cao Chun thought that Zhao Yun''s last success was just luck similar to Wei Qing''s, and such things as luck cannot be replicated, but now that he heard Ju Shou''s words, he suddenly realized that it was not luck, but ability , Hussar General Fei Qian''s soldiers have the ability to fight long distances in winter!


    『Ru, why didn’t you speak earlier! 』Cao Chun felt a chill down his back, and even involuntarily looked around the outside of the city, as if he was looking for something.


    Ju Shou sighed and said: "It took two days for a certain person to figure it out... Without Xianbei''s envoy, a certain person may not be sure..." Facing new things, not everyone can react immediately and understand its operation process. Even a wise man like Jushou can only guess at most.


    It’s snowing in the cold winter, don’t you feel good about hiding from cats? Do you have to brave the snow to trek here? Wouldn''t it be more convenient to wait until the vernal snow is fully bloomed? Unless there is some accident, the Xianbei people can''t even wait for a month or two...


    So what unexpected turn of events? Could there be any change that forced Xianbei, who was as arrogant as the king of the desert, to bow his head and seek cooperation with Cao Chun, who was obviously not Zhao Yun''s way?


    The answer is naturally obvious.


    "And..." Jushou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and it seemed that the next words were very difficult to say, "And... a certain suspect, this Xianbei envoy is also... one of the hussars'' strategies... After all, cavalry is good for the wild, not good for the strong... 』Yuyang, although it is a bit dilapidated at the moment, it still has a border background after all. The whole city was built to deal with wars from the very beginning, and with the further progress of the repair work, the defense capabilities will naturally gradually increase, so even if it is I heard that hussars have some special siege methods, but if you can choose to defeat your opponent without attacking the city, wouldn''t it be better?


    "what? ! ’Cao Chun suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, which seemed to be connected with the coolness on his back.


    『The Xianbei envoys are probably real... 』Ju Shou smiled wryly, 『It’s just that these Xianbei actions are all within...expected...』


    『This...what should I do...』 After all, Cao Chun was young, and somewhat flustered, "Does the military division have a plan? 』


    Ju Shou sighed, "So... Rong, think about it again..."


    Cao Chun could not help but take a long breath, only to feel that the **** smell became more and more intense...
