Chapter 2908: There is no beginning, and there is an end.
Inside Jade Gate Pass, in the lobby, the lights flickered.
lord. " Jia Xu sat on one side and said to Fei Qian, "Lu Fengxian will probably go on an expedition to Guishuang..."
Fei Qian was writing on the desk. He just nodded slightly when he heard the words, which did not affect his writing at all, just like whatever Lu Bu did, it was within Fei Qian''s expectation.
??Although Lu Bu has not made the final decision, Jia Xu''s ability to guess people''s hearts has already deduced that Lu Bu will most likely choose to continue fighting on the battlefield and expedition to Kushan.
Testing starts from the moment we meet.
Jia Xu called him Marquis Wen, but Lu Bu had no objection.
Then came the news of Wei Xu''s death.
Drinks.
laugh at.
To point.
??It''s like chess pieces placed on a chessboard, and Lu Bu''s response naturally shows his inner heart...
He couldn''t let it go.
Even if this is the case, Lu Bu is likely to die on the battlefield.
After all, the expedition to Kushan was basically a battle with completely unequal forces and incomplete information.
Hello level difficulty.
Once Lu Bu really embarks on this path, his previous mistakes in the Western Regions will be temporarily put aside. Regardless of whether Lu Bu can achieve the fruitful results of the expedition to Kushan in the end, it means that he still has the opportunity to reverse his reputation, rather than just Bearing the reputation of being incompetent and stupid, he bid farewell to the military.
This is Lu Bu''s punishment and also Lu Bu''s last chance.
This is all a conspiracy.
It was clearly placed in front of Lu Bu. No matter what he chose, Fei Qian could actually accept it.
In the expedition to Kushan, it can be Lu Bu, but it does not have to be Lu Bu.
The countries in the Western Region Alliance must mobilize their soldiers and disintegrate their military force. Some of these people will be absorbed into Fei Qian''s system, but there are also some people who hate the Han, so they must only let these people Go die and show your greatest value before dying...
『My Lord treated Lu Fengxian very well. ” Jia Xu stroked his beard and sighed, “There is no beginning for failure, and there is an end for failure... This is what happened to the Lu family in the Western Regions...”
"Um? Haha..." After hearing this, Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stopped writing, then lifted up the bamboo paper he was writing on and showed it to Jia Xu.
On the bamboo paper, it is clearly the sentence that Jia Xu just said...
ifies the people by nature, but their fate is very bad. Nothing has a beginning, nothing has an end. 』
Jia Xu was also stunned, and then he started laughing.
Between the king and his ministers, everything is left unsaid.
Jia Xu said that Fei Qian''s treatment of Lu Bu was "thick". In fact, he didn''t really mean "thick", but he was mentioning that Fei Qian should not "treat one favorably and favor another favorably."
Civil officials and military officers must all have a balance.
Obviously, what Fei Qian wrote is similar to what Jia Xu thought, "A man born to be a good man has a bad destiny." "There is no beginning, there is an end." This sentence can also be used in other explanations, but the main meaning is to maintain a good original intention, and good results will naturally come from it.
Fei Qian wrote this sentence at this time. In addition to the above meaning that most people know, it also contains the caution in dangerous circumstances. There is no beginning, and freshness has an end. That is to say, indiscriminate irrigation and waste of fertilizers will make it difficult for seedlings to grow. Fruits that are fresh and bright at the beginning are easy to be eaten by people first, and it is difficult to maintain them for a long time.
??This is talking about Lu Bu, the Western Regions, and even the current three assistants of Chang''an, as well as the great men in the world.
This is a self-warning attitude, so Jia Xu and Fei Qian laughed together.
What is more pleasant than the harmony between the ruler and his ministers and the unity of their minds?
After the two looked at each other and smiled for a moment, Fei Qian picked up a piece of information on the desk.
It''s three hundred miles from Chang''an to hurry up. "Fei Qian handed the information to Jia Xu and said slowly, as if he was still thinking about the relevant information, "Forwarded by Pang Shiyuan...there is news about Prime Minister Cao..."
In ancient times, Baili Express was generally used for less important internal messages, such as when an important official died in office, or where some major issues need to be uploaded to the central government for processing, etc. This At that time, we only need a speed of a hundred miles a day.
When it comes to three hundred miles of expediting, it is relatively urgent, such as food shortages and riots in a certain place, or floods, and major cases such as rebellion in a certain area, etc., and this Three hundred miles of acceleration is also the most commonly used acceleration gear under normal circumstances.
Four Hundred Miles Express is generally used to commend honors. Even if it is used in the military, it is rarely used. Most of them are for promotions, marquisships, households, etc., and it was used more after the Tang Dynasty, because of that This time is used to commend the new scholars who have passed the imperial examination...
As for the 600-mile express and the 800-mile express, they are both urgent military information transmissions and cannot be used for other things. Emergency deployment of troops, etc. are basically expedited within 600 miles.
The highest-end 800-mile express is the highest level of information transmission that can be achieved in ancient times. It changes horses without changing people. The distance is relatively short. If the distance is longer, the messengers of the 800-mile express will not die. Half a life!
Pang Tong used three hundred miles to hurry up. On the one hand, he wanted to show that the matter was not too urgent, and on the other hand, he did not attract the attention of others.
?Of course, there are also flying pigeons delivering letters. However, the weight that pigeons can carry is limited, and they may not be able to ensure delivery. Therefore, generally speaking, even if a flying pigeon is used to deliver a letter, unless there are special circumstances, an urgent document will be sent on land at the same time.
Jia Xu browsed through it quickly, frowned and said, "What a vicious trick!" This is a strategy to attack the heart! 』
Fei Qian pondered and nodded.
Although the events in the Western Regions shocked Chang''an, Fei Qian also led troops here and was about to launch a conquest against the Western Regions Allied Forces, but this does not mean that results will be seen immediately, nor does it mean that everything can be restored in the Western Regions after the Western Regions Allied Forces are defeated.
?After Fei Qian left Chang''an, although he mainly focused on the Western Regions, he also did not relax the changes in Chang''an and beyond, Shandong.
Although most people in Chang''an City were cursing Lu Bu and others for their incompetence, in fact they did not really think that the crimes of Lu Bu and Wei Xu and others were a big problem, but they were worried that the chaos in the Western Regions would have lasting consequences. When they arrive in the Chang''an area, it will only affect their lives.
As a dynasty that has existed for three to four hundred years, the Han Dynasty has actually formed some inherent thinking, which is difficult to change.
The rule of the Han Dynasty has its own laws. Although the foundation of Han Dynasty''s rule was already shaky and chaotic due to the consistent efforts of successive Han emperors, it was undoubtedly a luxury to expect that one person, or one generation, could change the entire Han Dynasty.
It’s like Cao Pi or Sima.
Historically, Cao Pi thought he had changed, but in fact there was no change at all, he just changed his name. As for Sima, it was relatively better. He not only changed his name, but also sent people from the Sima family everywhere in an attempt to change the structure of the Han Dynasty''s county system and maintain the rule of the Sima family, but in fact it was of no use. , but buried the future of the Sima family.
If you want to change, you must have a group of people, and it must be a group of people who agree with unity and the same structure.
???If Fei Qian, Li Ru, Jia Xu and others are in the front group, then Lu Bu and others are in the back compared to those in the queue. For people like Lu Bu, we can''t focus on the purge. Otherwise, they would have been a minority in the Han Dynasty. The more purge, in the later stage, either there will be fewer and fewer people, or the virus will become more and more immune to anti-inflammatory drugs. many.
The aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty, the local tycoons, and the bureaucracy, all of them have really bad IQs. Although they are not as useless as the Saint Seiya, the second move will be useless, but after too much experience, there will be some pitfalls. Lessons learned from experience, maybe you start pretending to be your own person every day, which makes it extremely difficult to tell the difference.
Fei Qian led his army westward and deliberately exposed the empty gate of Chang''an, which was more or less a temptation.
In Tongguan and Wuguan, the remaining generals were not very famous - Wei Yan expressed his dissatisfaction with a dark face, but at present, Taishi Ci''s reputation was much greater than that of Wei Yan, and Wei Yan''s main military exploits were infantry fighting in the mountains. There is no cavalry battle that can be taken, so for the people of Shandong, Wei Yan is obviously not as intimidating as Taishi Ci.
Similarly, Zhu Ling and Liao Hua basically have no names. Those with a God''s perspective would certainly think that these two people were not simple, but how many people in Shandong would have expected that these two people were also behind Fei Qian?
Perhaps there are only a few top people...
The strategy of going north must be dedicated to Guo Fengxiao! Jia Xu stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, "This guy is very cautious, but he is also bold and cautious. It''s a pity that..." Jia Xu glanced at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian smiled.
??If the person who knows the reality of Chang''an''s three auxiliaries best is Guo Jia.
What Jia Xu means is that Fei Qian let Guo Jia go before, but Jia Xu also knows that letting go of Guo Jia actually has strategic considerations, just like Cao Cao in history deliberately let go of Liu Bei and Guan Yu. It seems to be damaged in the short term, but in the long term, this is also an important factor in history that Cao Cao was able to quickly settle down in the north and develop Hedong as a farm.
?Pull some people and beat others. This is not only a famous saying of a great man, but also a truth that has been practiced in history.
This strategy can also be defeated. Just spread rumors around Xu County, saying that Prime Minister Cao has made an alliance with the lord..." Jia Xu did not continue to dwell on this issue. He glanced at Fei Qian slightly, with a gleam in his slender eyes, "The point is to look at Zhao Zilong. General...』
Fei Qian stroked his beard and nodded silently.
Jia Xu’s strategies have always been vicious.
??Fei Qian is very powerful in the Chang''an area, so Shandong must be frightened.
??The sons of the Shandong gentry who are so idle will inevitably babble about this situation, talk about the current situation, and criticize Fang Qiu. However, these guys may not be able to know the actual situation of the current situation, and often rely on a little knowledge to act blindly.
??So Cao Cao''s trip to the north was originally intended to win over Fei Qian and prepare a decisive strategy to draw out the firepower. It is possible that Jia Xu sent people to spread rumors like this, which turned into evidence that Cao Cao was preparing for peace and timidly avoiding war.
Not afraid?
If you are not afraid, why run?
?This is just like why you should help if you hit someone. It is logically consistent and completely reasonable.
?Of course, Cao Cao also used the same strategy of attacking the heart...
Jia Xu pointed out the key point, which is Zhao Yun.
?Zhao Yun in history was loyal, but what about Zhao Yun now?
?This test question is not only in front of Zhao Yun, but also in front of Fei Qian...
…（o□`o）…
Western Region Allied Forces.
Where are the Han reinforcements? 』
??This is what Taksa is most concerned about right now.
『The Han people have sent out scouts, and our sons are fighting with them! "A general from a Western Region country said, "They must have already set off. Even if they haven''t set off, it will only be a matter of these two days..."
Then shall we attack the Han reinforcements, or shall we continue to attack the Han army stronghold? "Another general from the Western Region said, "A lot of our people have died in the past few days. If we can''t boost our morale, I''m afraid..."
??The Western Region Allied Forces were not originally composed of regular troops, and their morale was not high. They originally thought they could push forward the army quickly. However, although the plan was beautiful, the actual effect was very poor. The result was naturally dejected and unable to cheer up much.
Even if Master Busen "casts a spell", the problem is that casting a spell cannot stop the Han people from throwing grenades. Although after the first huge shock, the Western Region Allied Forces gradually discovered that the lethality of grenades is not very great. There is no longer a panic like a plague, but being thrown away by the Han when the attack is anxious will inevitably disrupt the rhythm. If the inventory of Han grenades is not obviously large, it is impossible to say that it is both Taksa and Busen. Continuous advocacy will inevitably make the coalition forces in the Western Regions retreat.
Start fighting tomorrow! In the past few days, the soldiers'' morale has been restored, and everyone is full of anger. They want to kill the Han army to avenge the brothers who died before! "Taksa said fiercely, "Our sons are really in a high mood to seek battle. In the past few days, several captains and centurions have come to ask for battle..."
?Taksa lies without blinking an eye.
Why do you want to fight?
?That’s not true, but there are indeed several people who come to Taksa for food and grass.
We will launch an attack tomorrow! At the same time, we also fight the Han reinforcements! The reinforcements of the Han people will definitely not expect that we have an ambush. When the time comes, we will go up like this! "Taksa laughed and said with excitement on his face and gestured excitedly, "As long as the Han reinforcements are eaten, then the Han army will definitely have no fighting spirit! We can conquer the military stronghold and march into Xihai City at the same time! Complete our great cause! Restore the glory of Buddha in the Western Regions! My plan won''t go wrong! 』
?The commanders of the Western Region countries looked at each other, but they said nothing, neither objecting nor approving. It''s the default.
Subsequently, Taksa once again led the army to the military camp and began to attack. Soldiers from both sides were killed and indistinguishable.
Although Taksa boasted that someone came to him to ask for a fight, to be honest, the characteristics of the nomads in the Western Region Alliance Army were still more or less present. After the initial fear and sadness passed, the ferocity and reconciliation flowed in their blood. The war soon aroused their hatred towards the Han people.
For decades, or even for three or four hundred years, the Han people''s policy towards the Western Regions has not been very friendly. Even the peace-progress was with a strong purpose, and the time of mutual vendetta was far more than the time of friendship during the peace-progress. What is right and wrong, right and wrong, no one can tell clearly.
The countries in the Western Regions killed the Han people, and the Han people also slaughtered the countries in the Western Regions.
?These things that are not recorded in detail in history books remain more or less in the hearts of these people from the Western Regions.
Because the previous Han Dynasty never thought about promoting enlightenment in the Western Regions, and their attitude towards the Western Regions countries was always condescending, so these people from the Western Regions countries never thought about everlasting peace with the Han Dynasty. When the Han Dynasty was strong They surrendered, but when the Han Dynasty was weak, they opposed the Han people and killed the Han people, ups and downs, year after year.
It is like the two sides of a seesaw, rising and falling, rising and falling.
From day to dusk, when the horn of the Western Region Allied Forces'' retreat sounded, the Han soldiers on the stronghold let out a long sigh of relief. The hard and **** day was finally over.
After a day''s fighting, there were seventy or eighty casualties, including one camp commander and three commanders.
Facing the huge number of soldiers in the Western Regions, the Han army''s weakness in defensive strength was fully exposed. Although there is no immediate crisis, if the Western Region Allied Forces attack fiercely every day, they will gradually consume the strength of the Han people. After the defenders lose most of their soldiers, the military stronghold will definitely be lost.
The next day, Taksa once again supervised the formation, and the Western Region Allied Forces launched an attack like a tide, seeming to have the momentum not to give up until the military stronghold was taken. On this day, more enemies rushed to the wall of the military camp. Meng Hua personally led more than 20 guards, just like firefighters. Wherever there is a crisis, they are there to fight.
In the afternoon, Menghua had to use the last batch of grenades again to repel the Western Region coalition forces.
?It was getting dark, and the Western Region Allied Forces slowly retreated.
There were corpses everywhere on and above the walls of the military village.
The soldiers of the Han army were exhausted. They sat in the blood one by one, and they didn''t even have the energy to say a word.
??The Western Region Allied Forces can take turns going into battle, and they have less and less time to rest and adjust, which also makes them more and more tired.
Menghua looked at it silently.
The losses of the troops will increase as time goes by. Now the soldiers are very tired, and many of them are persisting with injuries. Once these soldiers'' physical endurance is seriously reduced, they will be in trouble during the battle. They are more likely to be injured and have a greater risk of death. As casualties increase again, the difficulty of defending the military stronghold will increase again, and it will eventually be breached.
『Colonel, when will our reinforcements arrive? 』
?Li Si already had two or three wounds on her body, and the blood-stained bandages were covered with dust and looked black.
‘Didn’t I ask you to rest? Why did you come up again? Menghua said, "Hurry, reinforcements are coming soon..."
Li Si did not step back, but took two more steps forward and said, "Colonel! You said this three days ago! Why haven''t reinforcements arrived yet? ! Are they..."
"Shut up! Meng Hua glared at Li Si, "I said it!" Reinforcements are coming soon! 』
When will that come? ! ” Li Si straightened his neck, not afraid at all.
…
Meng Hua remained silent. He didn''t know, so he couldn''t answer.
?There must be some problems in Xihai City, otherwise the originally planned reinforcements would have arrived long ago, and now Menghua has no confidence...
