Chapter 691: Flowers on the trees


    When you get Yufuluo''s horse, you naturally have to express it.


    Fei Qian asked Yu Fuluotong to sit down in the hall, and then without saying any more nonsense, he went straight to the point: "What thoughts does Chanyu have about the upcoming conquest of Meiji?"


    Yu Fuluo''s head was naturally full of longing for Meiji. Hearing this, he immediately said: "I''m not afraid of Zhonglang''s jokes. I can''t wait to get wings and fly to Meiji right now!"


    ?Meiji City was originally the seat of Xihe County in the early Han Dynasty, and later became the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu. However, if you want to attack Meiji, you must first conquer Guluo City.


    ??To capture Guluo City, you must climb the old Zhao Great Wall, and then capture Baitu City as a transshipment base for forward grain and grass.


    These things are naturally beyond the reach of Yu Fuluo alone.


    If Yu Fuluo leads his troops to attack Meiji, as long as a partial army cuts off Yu Fuluo''s exit from the Zhao Kingdom''s Old Great Wall, Yu Fuluo will immediately be trapped in a situation surrounded by enemies on all sides, and his destruction will be in a matter of seconds. .


    Although Yu Fuluo did not have military skills like the Han people, it does not mean that Yu Fuluo was a reckless man. After learning that his father was killed by the rebels, he did not immediately rush to his head and fight back to Meiji without hesitation. This can be seen from the fact that he sought support from the Han Dynasty everywhere.


    Feiqian looked at Yufuluo and said, "I understand Shanyu''s heart, but Shanyu, do you think everyone in Meiji''s tribe is against you?"


    Yu Fuluo thought for a while, and then said: "That''s not necessarily the case. It''s just that even if the Xialuo tribe is powerful, they have to follow."


    ?This is the rule of the grassland tribes, the law of the weak and the strong. If they do not obey the instructions of the big tribe, the small tribe may be attacked and then directly annexed, becoming a vassal of the big tribe.


    Therefore, in fact, under this situation, if the nomads on the prairie want to unite into a powerful political system, they must have a super strong leader. For Fei Qian, he is doing everything possible to unite the nomadic people into a powerful political system. This possibility is nipped in the bud.


    Therefore, Fei Qian simply did not hope that Yu Fuluo could fall down in one fell swoop and become the new leader of the Southern Huns...


    ?However, it is naturally impossible for Yu Fuluo to notice these things.


    Fei Qian pondered for a while, and then said: "I heard that Xubu Guluohou was old and frail, and was already suffering from diseases?" .


    Yu Fuluo was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That''s true."


    Xubu Guluohou is close to seventy years old. This age is considered a relatively high age even in Han Dynasty. And because he has stayed in the north for many years and mainly eats beef and mutton, some rheumatism diseases Something else gradually breaks out...


    “Chanyu thinks that if Xu Bu Gu Luohou cannot survive this winter, who will Xi Luo and Baima Tong choose, or do they want to stand up themselves?” Fei Qian continued to ask. What the elderly fear most is the alternation of hot and cold. Even if the medical conditions are better in later generations, this period is still the gate of death for the elderly. If you can survive it once a year, you will live one more year. If you don''t go there, naturally...


    Yu Fuluo thought carefully for a while, and then said: "It''s really hard to say, Xi Luo and Baima Tong are both about the same strength, it''s hard to tell..."


    "That''s a good thing," Fei Qian said with a slight smile, "So the first thing we have to do now is not to let the shrimps fall, and the two tribes of Baima and Tong come together. I wonder if Shan Yu has any ideas about this. ?”


    Yu Fuluo frowned and repeated: "What do you think?"


    "For example, there is some discord between two people..." Fei Qian further explained, "They compete for pasture, population, etc."


    ?Fei Qian doesn’t believe that when the various tribes on the grassland are independent in their own affairs, they are as close to each other as one family, and there are no conflicts that can be exploited?


    Sure enough, Yu Fuluo suddenly said: "Of course this has... Well, what does Zhonglang mean?"


    Fei Qian smiled, and then said: "If we let it out now that we are going to unite with one of the tribes and then eliminate the other tribe, I wonder how Xi Luo and Baima Tong will react?" Yu Fuluo thought about it After a while, he looked at Fei Qian, and then said with a slight hesitation: "This will naturally lead to mutual suspicion...but it may not have much effect. After all, we are here...this..."


    Yu Fuluo''s meaning is also very clear. After all, there is a strong enemy on the side. Even if the brothers are not harmonious, they will know how to speak unanimously to the outside world first. Even if there are some conflicts between them, they will be temporary in most cases. Suppress it.


    Fei Qian laughed: "What Shan Yu said is absolutely true, so before that, we must do one thing..."


    Fei Qian didn''t show off, and continued directly: "Shanyu, you should have about seven thousand cavalry that can go out now, right? I''ll get you another three thousand cavalry here, and all of them will be changed into your clothes, before the severe cold weather. When it comes, quickly leave the pacification, go straight to Baitu, make a gesture to attack Meiji, and then return. By the way, you can spread the news that next spring, you will cooperate with Xia Luo or Baima Tong to pacify Meiji..."


    The scale of ten thousand cavalry is not the largest military force in the North, but it is still quite astonishing. It can be said that as long as they do not face Xianbei''s large army, the surrounding small tribes are no match at all.


    "...But, but why not directly..." Yu Fuluo, perhaps out of eagerness, actually asked a silly question.


    Fei Qian spread his hands and said: "Chanyu, you should know better than me the coldness of this northern land. It is already the end of autumn, and the wind and snow will come at any time. If there is a sudden heavy snowfall and the road is blocked, Shanyu, you are willing to give up 7,000 yuan." Soldiers and horses, I can’t bear to leave my three thousand disciples.”


    Yu Fuluo smiled sheepishly: "Zhonglang, I was impatient and didn''t think carefully."


    Fei Qian paused and then said: "We will control the time of this trip within seven days. At most, we can go back and forth in ten days... Shanyu just imagine, if we come to Meiji, we can actually show our strength. Show it to them, and then declare that we do not want our brothers to kill each other, and are willing to accept the surrender of the tribe. Before retreating, we pretended to accidentally leak that someone has contacted us and agreed to join us in the spring next year to work together. In this way...hehe..."


    With ten thousand riders, it would be relatively difficult to deal with Xixialuo and Baima Tong at the same time, but if one of the tribes is added to deal with the other, it would be a piece of cake...


    Yu Fuluo tilted his head and pondered for a while, then slapped his thigh and praised: "Zhonglang''s method is good, let alone pretending, maybe some tribes will actually come up to contact... Hahaha..."


    Yu Fuluo seemed to see the hope of regaining Meiji, and he raised his head and smiled happily.


    Fei Qian also laughed.


    ?Although this strategy has the effect described by Fei Qian, it does not necessarily have only one result. It may also bring about another situation, and this other situation is naturally Fei Qian''s real purpose...


    The journal Nature published a new paper last week.


    Deepmind, an artificial intelligence company owned by Google, has launched a new version of Go AI named AlphaGo Zero.


    This AI unexpectedly killed all its predecessors, and its elo level reached 5000, surpassing all humans - but the most important thing is that it has not seen any human chess records.


    When the world chess champion Garry Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, the AI ??Deep Blue was brought up by humans. It is a large amount of human experience and judgment directly summarized by top chess players, plus a massive database of historical famous games, plus its own high-speed computing simulation. The three of these combined to defeat Kasparov. In every sense, it is still an AI that actively imitates human behavior.


    In New York in 1997, people tried hard to conquer Go along this line, but without real success for more than ten years. It was not until the end of the year before last that Deepmind used a combination of two neural networks to truly defeat human professional players for the first time. That route abandoned the judgment of human experience and no longer tried to teach it "this situation is good and that situation is bad", but directly threw it 30 million human historical chess games and let it see for itself, and then let it improve itself by playing games. You all know the outcome. It defeated Lee Sedol 4:1 in March 2016, and its upgraded version of AlphaGo Master defeated Ke Jie 3:0 in May 2017.

    Do you understand what this means?
