Chapter 2009 Small victory and big defeat, small boat and big boat


    Huayan Lake is not the only lake in Mobei, Youzhou, but it is an area where herdsmen often stay. In this piece of land, only by walking along the water source can the lives of themselves and their livestock be guaranteed.


    However, today, near this Huayan Lake, there is a killing going on.


    The legs in front of the horse were tightly clamped to the belly of the horse, and the scouts from Liaodong fled in a hurry, while Zhang Xi and the Xianbei were chasing behind...


    Although Gongsundu in Liaodong has many cavalry, they are different from the nomads who have lived for many years. Therefore, when Gongsun scouts met Zhang Xi who was going north, they were naturally unable to fight and run.


    Everyone has lost their formation, only seeing the enemy in front of them, one side just wants to escape, and the other side desperately wants to intercept it.


    Because of the direction of the wind, when Zhang He and others were chasing the Liaodong scouts, they did not pay attention to the arrows they fired intermittently. Except for a few unlucky guys who were directly shot to the vitals, most of the arrows were in the wind. The shot lost its original power, even if it was shot on the body, there would be only a short pain at most, as if being hit by a stone, the skin would be broken and some blood would bleed, it would not be able to hurt the flesh and blood at all.


    Zhang He was rescued by the Xianbei people. Although to a certain extent Qian Honest did not represent Zhang He''s meaning, nor did he act according to Zhang He''s ideas, but the matter has come to this point, is there any other way? Could it be that he hurried back to plead guilty, saying that his own guard made arbitrarily asserted claims, which was not his intention at all, and had nothing to do with him?


    Xianbei people want to go home.


    But the problem is that they can''t go back, and they are blocked by Gongsun Du.


    Therefore, the Xianbei people proposed to ask Zhang He to make a way for them, and if Zhang He is willing to stay in the desert, these Xianbei people will treat Zhang He as the most honored guest. Some warhorse leather robes or something...


    The Xianbei leader even cut his face to swear. Use a knife to draw a cut on the face to show that the oath cannot be changed. After all, even if the wound is healed, there will be a scar.


    So Zhang He and the Xianbei people came here, but the problem is that the number of Zhang He and the Xianbei people is not enough to confront Gongsun Du head-on, so they can only look for opportunities to break through when they are not prepared. To achieve such a combat goal, one must remain concealed. Therefore, for these Gongsun scouts to pursue and kill, one cannot be missed, which is what Zhang He and the Xianbei are trying to achieve now.


    Zhang He caught up with the Gongsun scouts, knocked over one of them with one shot, and then swept away with another shot, jumping off the bow and arrow raised by the other scout hastily, and cut a **** **** in his thigh along the way...


    Not long after, these Gongsun scouts were caught up one after another, and then hacked and killed by the Huayan Lake.


    Zhang Yun stopped slowly, and the horse''s mouth and nose puffed out white smoke.


    The leader of Xianbei followed and reined in his horse. "General Zhang, what''s wrong? 』


    Zhang He shook off the blood on the spear, then raised his chin to signal, "Look at the weather... are you sure you want to go back?" 』


    The leader of Xianbei was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Shouldn''t this mean that you want to go back?" The people at home are still waiting...』


    Zhang He sighed, nodded, and said: "If you kill these scouts, you won''t be able to hide it for long. If you want to go back, you must hurry up!" 』


    "So what does General Zhang mean..." the leader of Xianbei asked.


    Zhang He looked at the sky and said for a while, "It looks like it''s going to snow again..."


    Looking at the sky and talking about the problem of snow, Zhang Xi was not the only one.


    『This **** weather! Why is it snowing again? 』


    Gongsun Du looked up at the sky.


    After Gongsun Du defeated Liu He and other Wuhuan people, although he chased and killed them for a while, his art of war was so good that he was afraid of falling into a pit after chasing him, so he gradually stopped, and then God unexpectedly It''s snowing... Such a sudden change in the weather almost made Gongsundu feel a little out of date. Is it March now? Is not it? Are you sure?


    Of course, Liaodong is not such a warm place, but Liaodong also has snow in March...


    Such a situation naturally made everyone from Gongsun Du down to ordinary soldiers panic and stopped.


    『My lord, next…』 Liu Yi also looked up at the sky, hesitating a bit.


    If the original plan had been followed, Gongsun Du was going to take advantage of the chaos to take Yuyang, and it would be best to go down with one fell swoop when both Huqi and the Cao family were hurt. But now, no matter whether it is Gongsun Du or Liu Yi, they are more or less hesitant .


    This kind of weather itself is not suitable for marching and fighting. If it snowed accidentally before, it would be fine, but now it is the second time, which makes Gongsundu less lucky.


    『Send the order down, let’s set up camp for now...』Gongsun Du sighed, and said, "Wait for the snow to stop, then make plans..." God doesn’t give me face, how can I fight?


    But that night, Gongsundu was attacked by the Xianbei people led by Zhang He.


    Most of them thought that the battle was over, and many of them were focused on preparing to go home. Gongsun''s army was in a daze. They didn''t expect that someone would take advantage of the snowy night to sneak attack. The camp was suddenly destroyed, and the bundled and packed supplies just became The best place to ignite the fire was found, and the blazing fire lit up half of the sky. The Gongsun soldiers who had already lost their minds ran around, unorganized, and naturally it was difficult to resist the fierce assault led by Zhang He.


    By daybreak, the raiding Zhang He and others had already fled north, while Gongsun Du, who was in a state of embarrassment, jumped and cursed angrily, but there was nothing to do. On the one hand, the pursuit to the north was contrary to the original plan, and on the other hand, the weather was also a big problem. , not to pursue, and I don''t know if I will fall into a dilemma after going south. In the end, I had no choice but to gather the remnants of the defeated generals, and I didn''t have the will to fight until the last one, so I had to retreat in dismay...


    Gongsun Du won some small victories in his attack this time, but he also suffered heavy losses when he was suddenly attacked by Zhang He. It is not an exaggeration to say that his small victory and big defeat...


    …_(:з」∠)_…


    Zhuge Liang likes to play chess. Pang Tong, it''s hard to say whether he likes it or not, but the way the two play chess is completely different.


    When Zhuge Liang played chess, he was calm and calm, but Pang Tong was fine at other times, but he was not like Zhuge Liang when he played chess.


    Pang Tong couldn''t even talk about the so-called "calmness". Just now he took a small advantage in the corner, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arms to carry the pot to pour water, holding the teacup with a complacent face, looking around with great pride. The arrogance and arrogance of being superior to others is exactly the appearance of Wenping''s national player, but as soon as the situation falls into a passive position, in a blink of an eye there will be a frowning face, or gnashing of teeth to plan countermeasures, or a master with a tense face and hard thinking to solve the situation , if the situation is even worse, he will lean over the table with his hands on the case, his head bowed, wishing he could turn his gaze into a sharp sword and gather into a sharp axe, and chop those **** chess pieces into scum and foam. The breeze blows away...


    So generally Pang Tong is unwilling to play chess with others, so as not to expose his own shortcomings. Of course, this is also in front of Zhuge Liang. At other times, Pang Tong will somewhat cover up one or two things.


    『Ha...you lost...』Zhuge Liang caught a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard.


    Pang Tong stared at the chess piece, as if he had a deep hatred. After a long time, he just raised his head when he heard Zhuge Liang say: "It''s agreed, don''t regret the chess..."


    There is a saying, watch chess without talking about a real gentleman, and don''t let a fake celebrity regret chess. If someone does not make people regret chess, then he is not worthy of being a celebrity, and of course he is not worthy of being a gentleman.


    If you can make people regret the game, then you can say anything, and you will have the opportunity to become a good gentleman, a good marquis, a good general, etc., with a bold heart, a broad heart, a dignified appearance, and a good-looking talent, etc...


    But Zhuge Liang didn''t like this.


    Pang Tong babbled for a long time, and finally pushed the chessboard, "It''s not interesting. No more! 』


    Zhuge Liang served as Wuguan Cheng, and returned to Chang''an because he needed to deploy some supplies. Pang Tong originally thought that now that Zhuge Liang was under his command, he would somewhat restrain himself, um, let him be a little bit more in terms of chess skills, but he didn''t expect that Zhuge Liang would still be merciless, killing Pang Tong without hesitation.


    『But worried about changes in the weather? Zhuge Liang was not annoyed when Pang Tong was like this.


    Zhuge Liang realized that Pang Tong was actually a little absent-minded when he was halfway through the game. Although there were a few white stones on the chessboard that seemed to have an advantage, there were actually faint signs of falling into a tight siege, and Pang Tong didn''t notice it.


    So Zhuge Liang broke Pang Tong''s dragon easily with one break and one attack, and Pang Tong naturally lost. In the Han Dynasty, the focus was still on this big dragon model, like the kind of land grabbing in later generations, most of which were taught by Confucianists by precept and example.


    Pang Tong nodded and started talking without hiding anything. Pang Tong is not like Zhuge, standing taller, naturally there will be more things, and all kinds of relationships will be more complicated. Although the general direction had been confirmed with Hussar General a few days ago, some people still didn''t think there was any problem at the moment, and even thought it was an occasional abnormal weather, and it would return to its original state in a short time.


    Wasn’t that the case a few years ago?


    It''s not that I haven''t encountered a cold spring, so is it necessary to be so nervous?


    Who knows, is Hussar General Fei Qian and his gang taking advantage of the weather to do something wrong?


    The land that only belongs to Feiqian''s military settlement is not bad, but it is private, and these noble families who have suffered losses before, one by one, are slow like sloths, not not moving, nor resisting orders. Compliance is just one word, "slow"!


    The key is that Pang Tong can''t say anything about the "Great Cold Period", and it may not be useful if he says it, and it may even be counterproductive.


    On the whole, Fei Qian’s rule is quite good. Since the Shanxi gentry was not very strong in the first place, and the biggest leader was kicked to Luoyang by Fei Qian, the overall Shanxi gentry has no leader. It''s not like having a race with Fei Qian, competing with each other, but it''s precisely because of this that these Shanxi gentry are cautious, afraid that they will be the next to fall into the pit.


    Because it is March now, and March has always been the busiest month. Farming is naturally the highlight, but there are also many other affairs. Take a simple family of ordinary nobles as an example. Just food is not enough, right? There are also a series of things to wear, use, play, drink, etc. If you buy all these things, the price will go up, and the craftsmen and slaves in your own house will naturally be cheap and redundant. Also available for sale…


    So, how could these gentry immediately put down all the other things at hand and focus on the disaster resistance of farming?


    Zhuge Liang listened for a while, then smiled slightly, and said: "The scholar Yuan made a mistake..."


    Pang Tong frowned and said, "What''s wrong?" 』


    Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If the Tao is not clear, the benefits are not clear..."


    Pang Tong suddenly turned his eyes, and was about to say something, suddenly seemed to think of something else, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head, frowned and touched his chin, "Well, so to speak, it''s true..."


    Pang Tong is not a **** either, so naturally he sometimes goes into the misunderstanding of thinking, otherwise there would be no downfalls in history. When Zhuge Liang said it was "Tao and benefit", Pang Tong wanted to understand the reason.


    The industries under the hussars, whether they are farmland or workshops, belong to the hussars'' personal assets. Under the orders of the hussar generals, they naturally follow suit, just like those in the planned economic system of later generations. Those who hold positions in it will control whether they are profitable or not, and whether they will lose money or not lose money? Isn''t there an order above to do what it wants to do?


    The planned economy is not bad, nor is it born to be cast aside, on the contrary, this is a very advanced model, so advanced that it can be played by ordinary people...


    From a certain point of view, in fact, in the feudal dynasty, those industries directly under the royal family were basically planned economies, which were responsible for meeting all the needs of the royal family. These industries often bring together the top craftsmen and handicraftsmen in the country, and are also the most and the best creative bases. However, most of the time these industries are at a loss and cannot benefit. The reason is very simple, that is, the "plan" is not done well. .


    There are more means of production on one side and less on the other side. In order to pursue the best products, a piece of jade may be produced, but behind it is thousands of pieces of waste. The person in charge considers the position, not the profit. How can he not lose money in the long run?


    Now it seems that these industries of Feiqian seem to be easy and profitable, but not everyone can know what these workshops are going to research, develop, and produce like Feiqian. If there is no such thing as Feiqian In terms of guidance, isn''t it costly to take a detour?


    Maybe a family can''t even make a detour!


    Therefore, the difference came out. These people under the hussars, from Yinshan to Beidi, gave an order, put aside their original affairs regardless of benefits, and walked in unison. But what about other gentry clans?


    Some things are seasonal, if you miss it and don’t do it, is it possible to wait another year? For example, the materials to be purchased, the raw materials to be collected from various places, if no one is sent to go, will it all be rotten on the ground? Who will compensate for this loss? Even if it is compensated, how much? More hussars would definitely not want it, and the local gentry would not want it, so under such circumstances, how could the big gentry put down all other things and just focus on farming and sang?


    Pang Tong originally thought that everyone knew that Nongsang was undoubtedly the root, so if everyone protected Nongsang together, wouldn’t everyone benefit? Therefore, Pang Tong thought that since this matter was profitable, he would naturally be willing to do it, and he had to do it quickly. For a while, his thinking went into a misunderstanding.


    Originally, it was supposed to be difficult for a big ship to turn around, but easy for a small boat, but now it is the other way around. The big ship starts to turn when it gives an order, while the small boat is still hesitating, not knowing whether it should turn or not...


    After Zhuge Liang made such a point, Pang Tong also figured it out, but the problem is that he figured it out, but it is not easy to correct the wrong ideas of these gentry people.


    The right or wrong of a thing, the very simple judgment standard is to look at the result.


    Now Fei Qian, Pang Tong and others believe that the period of great cold has come, and snow is a sign, but in order to avoid panic, they can’t say it, and if they say it, no one may believe it. For these people, they think it’s a coincidence , Even if the seedlings that were sown before died, at most it would be replanted, and the harvest would be a little less, but other matters were delayed, so it may not be possible to replant.


    Pang Tong wants to prove it, how to prove it? That''s right, there was a little snow before, but it melted immediately. Although the sky hasn''t cleared up yet, it hasn''t continued to snow. This proves that there will be heavy rain this summer, drought in autumn, and heavy snow in winter. , will it be colder next year? Nongsang will have many problems in the future, so we should pay attention now?


    If these big gentry families violated the law and resisted Fei Qian''s order, Pang Tong had a battle in his hands, so naturally he should be caught and killed, and he should be punished as he should, but the problem is that it is not Fei Qian who neglected these big gentry families. The property is not a public facility, and there is nothing missing from the peasants who should bear the burden, but when they treat their own private land, they don’t care that much, or it can be said that most of them don’t do anything. How can this be punished?


    General Hussars needs to urgently repair the canal, and needs supplies and manpower, so here you go.


    General Hussars needs materials and manpower to build huts for the farmland, so please cooperate.


    It''s just that in my own field, the movement is a bit slower, and the reason for the slowness is also very simple. All the manpower and supplies have been deployed by the Hussar General...


    But if they are left alone, if these people are really affected by the disaster, it will not only affect themselves, but also affect the taxation of the Hussar General!


    Now there is no reason for punishment. It''s like if later generations wander around naked in public areas, it must be a crime of morality, but if it is in one''s own home, even if the same gentleman is frankly a villain, it can''t be said that it hinders morality, after all, it can''t Want to be fully dressed at all times, including in the shower?


    Pang Tong had a headache, but when he saw Zhuge Liang who was smiling, he suddenly thought, "Could it be that Kong Ming has a plan, why don''t you tell me quickly?" 』


    『Shiyuan is really in it, it’s hard to see the whole picture...』Zhuge Liang laughed, "It’s actually easy to make these gentry mobilize, but...you still need the consent of the hussars..."
