Chapter 1992 Winners never win, losers never lose


    What can attract a dog is either meat, bones, or a piece of shit. Attract a cat, a fish, or catnip.


    people as well.


    Most people always do things in a somewhat orderly manner, either because of this reason or because of concerns about that factor. Basically, they seldom act for no reason. Of course, people with brain problems and unclear thinking are generally excluded.


    So what kind of things can attract what kind of people...


    This point, Fei Qian is very clear.


    Perhaps a higher name is called "Extraordinary Traits Attract Each Other"?


    Just like the corrupt people will inevitably gather around a group of corrupt people, those who engage in technology must also like to discuss technology with others, those who are literary like literature, and those who are passionate about serving the country also attract others who are passionate about serving the country. This law of "extraordinary traits attract each other" was called in ancient times, "different ways do not conspire with each other".


    So when Chen Qun came, Lu Su also came, and when Chen Qun left, Lu Su naturally also left...


    『These two guys have been talking for a long time at Shiliting outside Chang’an...』Pang Tong snorted, "It’s too late to meet...huh..."


    『Shi Yuan thinks, what will they say? ’ Fei Qian asked.


    『Eight success means Jingzhou! 』Pang Tong is very sure.


    Xun You put down the brush in his hand, and then blew on the ink, "Or...Alliance..."


    Pang Tong glanced at Xun You, "It''s possible, but...huh, the two of them...I''m afraid they won''t be the same..."


    Xun You also glanced at Pang Tongtong, and after pondering for a while, he also nodded and said, "It''s really difficult to make an alliance..."


    Fei Qian squeezed the beard on his chin, and was speechless for a while, wondering if he has evolved to the level of the big boss of the Three Kingdoms now? Replaced Cao Cao''s position back then, and then Wu Shu, uh, wrong, the Wei Wu Alliance came to beat me? What should I call myself then? Is it called "Qin"?


    However, Cao Cao and Sun Quan can''t really form an alliance now. Fei Qian is quite clear about this reason. After all, it is not too difficult to think clearly about this issue.


    Just…


    Fei Qian squeezed his beard, thought for a while, and said: "However, a certain person thinks that there are some possible alliances..."


    Only on the basis that Cao and Sun cannot cooperate can Feiqian''s influence on Jingzhou be maximized, and Jingzhou''s integrity can be maintained as much as possible. Once the Cao-Sun alliance is established, Feiqian''s dispatch of troops will instead plunge Jingzhou into deeper chaos. Among them, Jingzhou will become the battlefield of the three parties, and if Feiqian does not send troops and only guards the front line of Wuguan Wancheng, then Jingzhou will face the situation of being directly divided.


    "what? 』Pang Tong didn''t react.


    Xun You on the other side also cast a surprised look.


    Fei Qian stood up, then walked a few steps aside, to the map.


    "You said that Cao and Sun cannot form an alliance. After all, two tigers compete for food and it is difficult to balance. This is not wrong..." Fei Qian pointed to the map, "The Sun family is located in the southeast. If you want to attack us, there are only three ways. One, after capturing Jiangling in the south of Jingzhou, use it as a base to attack along the Wuguan line...the other one is to go upstream and attack Hanzhong...there is another one, to enter Sichuan...』


    Fei Qian looked back at Pang Tong and Xun You.


    Pang and Xun looked at each other, and then nodded.


    Of course, there is another road, which is to go south along the coastline, then climb over the mountains from Jiaozhi, attack north from the south, and enter Sichuan... But this road is basically negligible...


    The last road is a bit like the road that Zhong Hui, er, Deng Ai Zhong would take in history. It only needs three to five hundred soldiers, and it can be strangled to death. Speaking of which, in fact, in history, Deng and Zhong dared to do that, most of them were some gossip. After all, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, it was said that they were strictly guarded against death, but in fact they all leaked like a sieve. The emperors and ministers of their respective countries are all married to other countries. This nima usually doesn’t have some small notes passed around, who would believe it?


    "So, Jiangling is the foundation of the Sun family''s strategy. Without Jiangling, the Sun family can only live in Jiangdong..." Fei Qian did not mention Cao Cao, because everyone is too familiar with Cao Cao. How to guard against Yuan Shao back then is now How to guard against Cao Cao, at most add a middle road around Hanzhong, nothing else has changed.


    Therefore, if Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with Sun Quan, he must give up Jiangling, and then it is possible to join forces or attack Guanzhong in separate ways. The benefits are so great that Cao Cao will definitely not give up Jiangling easily.


    Because in this way, in addition to attacking Fei Qian, Sun Quan can also attack Cao Cao, and it is more convenient than attacking Fei Qian. After all, to fight Fei Qian is to take the mountain road or sail against the current, but if you want to fight Cao Cao It''s just two or three clicks away...


    The point is that if Cao Cao loses Jiangling, he will lose half of his strategic depth, just like if Cao Cao can''t control Heluo, he will be easily inserted into the hinterland by Fei Qian. An unreliable friendly army would do more harm than good to Cao Cao, but basically all benefits to Sun Quan, so this kind of alliance was not equal at the beginning, and naturally it was difficult to establish.


    However, just like "Extraordinary traits attract each other", when the goals coincide to a certain extent, some concessions and tolerance will increase accordingly.


    『If you look at Jingzhou alone, the Cao-Sun Alliance is indeed difficult to establish, but if you say...』 Fei Qian stretched out his hand and drew a whole circle on the map, "What about the whole of China? 』


    Pang Tong took a breath, and then stroked his fat chin.


    Xun You was also taken aback.


    Fei Qian smiled, and then looked at the two of them.


    Pang Tong suddenly sighed, and said: "My lord, if this matter... if it really comes down to this point, it''s okay... I''m worried about Zhuge Kongming, to some extent... My lord is free, so we might as well meet again..."


    This time it became Fei Qian. She froze for a moment, then nodded.


    …(⊙o⊙)(≥﹏≤)…


    Fei Qian saw Zhuge Liang again.


    In the novel written by Mr. Luo, it is obvious that he substituted himself as Zhuge Liang, that’s why he was able to fight against the Confucians with his own power to overwhelm Soochow, to use straw boats to use arrows to shake their wits, to dance on the altar with the aid of east wind, and Hua Rong The Tao captures and releases Cao Cao in one thought, Zhou Yu with three qi makes him die, Meng Huo is captured seven times once and for all, there is even an empty city to plan Shanggu, and the seven-star lamp is borrowed for another five hundred years, etc...


    If Zhuge Liang did everything according to the appearance in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that Romance of the Three Kingdoms would be inferior by three points.


    Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled slightly. This boy, dressed in moon white and with the appearance of a cold and ascetic teenager with a carrot head, must be the favorite of many rotten girls.


    Some people once had doubts about whether Liu Bei really paid three visits to the thatched cottage. They suspected that Mr. Luo was the literati version of the domineering president who fell in love with me when he replaced himself. But Fei Qian thinks that the authenticity of the visit is still relatively high, and it may even More times, after all, when the values ????of 369 are in the article, most of the time they are not actual references.


    Historically, Zhuge had been in Jingxiang for a long time, so some of his fame was taken for granted. At that time, Liu Bei was in an embarrassing situation where he urgently needed the support of the gentry, so he frequently visited those who were in the field or half in the field in Jingzhou. Talent is a matter of reason.


    Similarly, Zhuge Liang was considered an older youth at that time. In the Han Dynasty when the average age was basically around forty, Zhuge Liang really didn''t have much time to continue playing farming games. Even the desire to make contributions may be more urgent than that of ordinary people, so when Liu Biao had just died and Liu Bei was still thinking about his own reputation, Zhuge Liang suggested demolishing the archway...


    Now, Liu Biao obviously cannot persist for as long as in history, but faced with the same thing, the white radish version of Zhuge Liang seems to have chosen the same thing, suggesting Fei Qian to replace Liu Biao to maintain the stability of Jingzhou .


    In history, whether Liu Bei really cared about the archway, Fei Qian is not completely clear, but one thing is certain, that is, Liu Bei did not have the strength to hold down the lively guys inside and outside Jingzhou, and now Fei Qian really wants to suppress , how much can still be suppressed, it''s just that the effort and harvest will not match.


    In history, Liu Bei won Jingzhou, which was the beginning of his career, and now Feiqian goes to get Jingzhou, which is the burden of his career...


    Fei Qian didn''t care about the issue of the archway, he just considered it from a purely strategic point of view. Zhuge Liang''s suggestion before, let him replace Liu Biao in Jingzhou. From a strategic point of view, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, but from an emotional point of view In other words, Fei Qian can''t be so cruel. After all, Fei Qian is somewhat related to Jingzhou. Some basic boards can''t just be lost.


    So it can only be like most competitive games, first keep the draw, and then win, don''t be rash.


    Pang Tong is also one of the players in the next game, so he can understand.


    Zhuge Liang is the audience. Although he understands, he is not necessarily willing to accept it.


    After all, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are a little different now.


    The Pang family and the Huang family have mainly transferred their industries to the Wancheng area. Even if Jingzhou splits up or falls into war, in fact, the Nanyang Wancheng area in the north of Jingzhou is relatively guaranteed and will not affect It''s too big, so Pang Tong doesn''t have any idea about whether Jingzhou is complete or not, and the issue of Jingzhou''s ownership, etc. It is easier to accept Feiqian''s thinking mode that considers the overall strategy.


    So Pang Tong said that he is fine.


    But Zhuge Liang has a problem. Cao Cao made Zhuge''s original hometown, and now he''s coming to make Zhuge''s second hometown. It''s no wonder that Zhuge had Cao Hei all his life, and he wanted to pinch and beat Cao''s desperately. Fei Qian didn''t want to fail Zhuge Liang''s work, and then Zhuge Liang felt that Fei Qian was ruthless and unreasonable...


    "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, there were three battles between Jin and Chu..." Fei Qian said slowly, then looked at the white radish head, and then continued, "The winner of the battle is not victorious, and the loser of the battle is not defeated , Does Kong Ming think so? 』


    Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Of course." That''s what the general said. 』


    『Kong Ming said it. ’ Fei Qian said.


    Zhuge Liang''s voice was clear and clear: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Zhou declined, the princes attacked each other, and the rites were all abolished." At that time, the state of Chu was powerful and had many soldiers and horses. If they wanted to map the original land, they must go north. Duke Wen of Jin came to power and worked hard to govern. He also wanted to revive the prestige of the Jin state. Therefore, the struggle between Jin and Chu must be fought. 』


    Fei Qian nodded slightly.


    『The first battle between Jin and Chu was at Chengpu. Zhuge Liang went on to say, "The Jin army wins the many with fewer, the more complex with simplicity, the more advanced with retreat, the more points with specialization, so the position of the overlord is determined by one battle..."


    Zhuge Liang glanced at Feiqian, and then said: "After the Battle of Chengpu, Duke Wen of Jin built his palace on the ground, honored King Xiang and offered captives. Although he was granted the feudal title to Lord Hou and gathered together to make an alliance,...therefore, winning a battle is not a victory." and also…"


    『The battle of Bi is the same. The commander of the Jin army, although he knows that he can''t fight, he will fight..." Zhuge Liang is obviously very familiar with these things, and when he said it like a treasure, "When the battle is approaching, the Jin army is unable to control the domineering generals, hesitant and indecisive, and the battle is indecisive. , Unprepared before the battle, naturally controlled by others, resulting in a big defeat. After this battle, Jin and Chu were replaced, and Chu gained hegemony. King Zhuang soared into the sky, and his voice was far away...However, Chu State deviated from the Central Plains, and there were many differences in customs and etiquette. ...''


    『Chu used the land of Ruyin to Xu Zheng in order to destroy his alliance. Jin, Qi, Lu and Wei jointly discussed it, and Chu sent troops to attack, and met Yanling. Zhuge Liang said, "The Chu army repeated their old tricks and attacked them suddenly, but they were unable to enter the swamp and missed a good opportunity." The Jin army splits up left and right, and from morning to evening, although they are victorious, their national power has declined, and their hearts are different... Does the general mean that the present is just like Jin and Chu? There are ministers fighting for power and profit inside, and Wu Qi and other countries are spying on the outside...』


    Jin and Chu were considered old enemies during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. They fought a total of eleven wars, most of which were won by Jin and not many by Chu, only the Battle of Bi and the Battle of Beilin. But if we say that the most important and influential battles are the three battles mentioned by Fei Qian and Zhuge Liang.


    Especially the battle of Yanling.


    Although it is said that the war ended with the Jin State winning with a slight advantage, a series of adverse consequences caused by the war followed, which became a sign of the decline of these two hegemons. In fact, the victory or defeat of the war has long been foreshadowed, and there are many obvious reasons for the loss of strength of the two countries.


    Feiqian nodded, and said: "Kong Ming is really wise, and knows a certain mind." With history as a guide to the present, we will know the severity. In the past, there were disputes between Jin and Chu, including state disputes, and there were also scholar disputes...』


    During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a fact that cannot be ignored was that there were many contradictions among countries, especially within Jin and Chu, between the old nobles and the new scholar-bureaucrats, and each had its own calculations. This intricate relationship, It is also an important internal cause when Jin and Chu compete for hegemony.


    『Victory from the outside, defeat from the inside, and final defeat. If you win internally and lose externally, you will also lose. But both inside and outside are victorious, how difficult it is..." Fei Qian said, "The winner of the battle is not victorious, and the loser of the battle is not defeated..."


    Zhuge Liang was silent, didn''t say anything immediately, but still looked at Fei Qian.


    "During the First Battle of Yanling..." Fei Qian took a breath, and then thought of some similar incidents in later generations, he couldn''t help but sigh, "There has been disharmony within Chu for a long time, the generals will attack each other, the kings and scholars are difficult to balance, and disputes Constantly, the king of Chu was at a loss and had to seek profit from abroad...』


    Transferring domestic conflicts to other countries is not a practice that later generations of countries understand. At least during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the king of Chu knew how to play this trick. It''s just that in doing so, some people succeed, and some people fail...


    Zhuge Liang is not stupid, he has long noticed that Fei Qian is unwilling to send troops to Jingzhou, but he wanted to fight for it before. On the surface, because he stayed in one place for a long time, he would have some feelings, but in fact, Zhuge Liang knew that he was actually in his heart. However, there is a deeper reason that makes him unwilling to see Jingzhou, which has been peaceful for several years, once again, like his hometown, fall into the flames of war.


    Zhuge Liang closed his eyes sadly.


    Fei Qian looked at Zhuge Liang, feeling a little emotional. If a person''s achievement is a bucket of water, then this person''s own talent is one of the boards, which may determine its lower limit, but a person''s vision is also another board, which determines the person''s upper limit...


    There is no need to question Zhuge Liang''s talent.


    Some people say that Zhuge Liang was promoted by Mr. Luo, and his talent was overestimated. In fact, from a historical point of view, it may actually be underestimated. Zhuge Liang''s image may have been somewhat corrupted by Mr. Luo, and he has been reduced to the image of a quick-talking god, not a steady politician.


    Give a chestnut.


    Zhuge Liang, in order to protect Dujiangyan and also to ensure that water resources will not be embezzled by one kind or another, during the Three Kingdoms period, he issued an order stating that Dujiangyan is the foundation of the country, "the capital of the country, and a thousand or two hundred people will be recruited to protect it." ’, and then specially set up a “Yan Guan” to command this armed force, to protect Dujiangyan, directly under the jurisdiction of the Shu Han court, and not to be interfered by local governments such as prefectures and counties.


    Thanks to this, Dujiangyan was able to achieve "only persuasion in agriculture, no opportunity to seize the right time, only thin tax collection, endless people''s wealth", so that it would not be surrounded by this or that person, and avoided The local government is open-eyed but doesn''t know this or that, and can''t control the situation. Only then can the agricultural order, health and stability of the entire Chengdu Plain be ensured.


    Unlike Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who sent troops to declare state-owned Shanglinyuan, Zhuge Liang set up an armed defense force to protect state-owned public facilities from private occupation and ensure the normal operation of the country. This concept transcends time and space, and even makes some people in later generations All should be ashamed.


    That''s why Fei Qian is willing to let Zhuge Liang see and think slowly, at least Fei Qian knows that if Zhuge Liang can really see and understand, there will be a strong force in the future that will let the people who have already begun to change The big man''s wheel will not return to the original track...
