Chapter 3319 Things should be divided into two parts
Xun Pei’s arrest can be said to be a turning point for the entire Yingchuan area in Yuzhou, from a seemingly peaceful place to a state of turmoil.
But at the very beginning, many people thought it was just about arresting someone?
Most ordinary people have short memories because they are busy making ends meet and do not have much time to think and summarize. In other words, those who have fallen to the bottom and whose gene chain is likely to be broken at any time are mostly driven by instinct to maintain the gene chain as much as possible. Only the children of the noble clan who are in a semi-shedding state have more urgent needs. The desire to climb back up.
That is, a poor family.
So after General Hussar started cutting down trees in Guanzhong, and the big tree of Webster fell down, Shandong also began to follow Fei Qian''s footsteps and also started cutting down trees.
The first ax fell on Xun himself.
Xun Yu’s original idea was to get rid of his own dead branches first and let outsiders have no way to comment. However, in fact, Xun Yu tried to save others by himself. He himself is quite a gentleman, but others may not be gentlemen. Even if Xun Yu strikes him first, others will still be gibbering. Anyway, in the worst case, he can "put aside the facts." …
??For the middle class, such as the poor families in Yuzhou, this kind of activity of cleaning up decayed branches and branches also gives them more opportunities for sunshine and rain, so they applauded and almost called Xun Qingtian.
As a result, in the land of Yuzhou, the evaluation began to be divided. The people at the bottom were confused, the poor people applauded, and the upper-level nobles who had been cut off began to curse, saying that Xun Yu, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, had now become You have to be as virtuous as that **** Qiusi...
As for how the Hussars are, Cao Cao on the Anyi battlefield probably has the real right to evaluate them.
After all, only the life-and-death opponents on the battlefield have a greater say in evaluating the other side.
At the foot of Anyi City.
??This time Cao Cao went north. He changed his previous behavior of Cao Hong and others invading places, plundering resources, and recruiting civilians. He once again enforced strict military discipline and ordered "Seniors are not allowed to intrude places. Violators will be punished according to military law."
He also met with the Hedong gentry and gentry along the way and expressed condolences to them for the previous infringements they had suffered.
this…
Is it useful?
Not to mention, it is somewhat useful. In the past, Hedong hated Cao Jun''s comments, but now he has changed his opinion and said that Cao Cao is really a gentleman. Before, he was a despicable villain who acted shamelessly. Now look, with the arrival of Prime Minister Cao, won''t it be a peaceful and sunny day? What?
?Everything must be looked forward to. Isn’t it pointless to dwell on trivial matters of the past?
?So Cao Cao had a smooth journey until he reached the gate of Anyi City.
Anyi City still refused to surrender.
?This made Cao Cao''s face hurt a little. He built a three-foot-high observation tower outside the city and went on stage every day to command...
Under Cao Cao''s personal command, Anyi naturally became uneasy from then on.
???Cao Cao''s generals exploded... Well, Bao Zhong, Bao Hong and his son asked for orders, willing to lead a death squad to break through Anyi City.
??Bao Zhong is a younger brother of Bao Xin, and he once had a romantic relationship with Cao Cao.
??Bao Xin was more or less Cao Cao''s guide, recommended endorsers, and sent troops, money, and equipment to Cao Cao, but for some reason he died in the Yellow Turban War. Cao Cao was so sad that he beat his chest and sighed with emotion. There were quite a few heroes who died before they succeeded. Then twenty years later, Lao Cao suddenly remembered Bao Xin and gave Bao Xin''s son an official title. …
As for Bao Zhong, he joined his classmate Lao Cao after Bao Xin died. He followed him from south to north, and from east to west, and he seemed to be very loyal.
"If we cannot capture Anyi, my father and son are willing to fight to the death and not retreat!" ” Bao Zhong fell to the ground, impassioned.
??Cao Cao personally stepped forward to help Bao Zhong up. His beard was trembling slightly, and he seemed to have compassion. He said, "How can such a loyal and brave man abandon his life so easily?" It cannot be broken off. 』
Cheng, believe me! Bao Zhong''s eyes filled with tears, "My father and son will definitely fight to the death, never break Anyi, and vow not to turn around!" 』
Cao Cao looked troubled again.
Farewell to Bao Zhong.
??Cao Cao had no choice but to finally say: "How can you, your father and your son, do all the ink?" There should be one person left so that I, the Prime Minister, can treat the loyal and brave bloodline favorably. 』
??Bao Zhong was extremely moved and kowtowed loudly, "If we can''t share the Prime Minister''s worries, how can we, father and son, be treated favorably by the Prime Minister?" ! Prime Minister, please sit down and wait for me and my son to break the city to offer it! 』
?Seeing that Cao Cao and Bao Zhong were so affectionate and righteous as their ministers, everyone onlookers could not help but be moved. They were greatly moved and immediately agreed.
…
…
On the watchtower, Cao Cao led a large group of Hedong gentry and squires. Watching Bao Zhong and his son rush towards Anyi City, he sighed softly: "If everyone in the world is as loyal and brave as Shu Yi, why should the big man worry about being unfair?" 』
??Cao Hong watched from the side, stepped forward and said, "please rest assured, my lord, even if Bao''s attack fails, my subordinates can still capture this city!" 』
『Someone trusts Shu Yi! ”Cao Cao said decisively.
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Hong, then moved his eyebrows slightly, turned to the other gentlemen of Hedong Township and said, "Now the Hussars are approaching... I am very worried. With this military disaster, there will be no distinction between ourselves and the enemy. If the Hussars The people thought that you were all an obstacle and massacred these poor people... Alas, why did the people suffer, how did the people deserve it! 』
Cao Cao sighed.
?Several gentlemen from Hedong Township looked at each other, and immediately stepped forward to prostrate themselves to the ground, sobbing and saying, "Please, Prime Minister, please stop the Hussars and prevent the innocent people from suffering!" 』
??Cao Cao stepped forward to help him again, "Oh, manpower will eventually be exhausted, and the secret of heaven is unpredictable." All living beings work hard, and their lives are full of hardships..."
The squires from Hedong paid their respects again, and Cao Cao reluctantly offered to leave a green channel for them to evacuate some of their assets and manpower from this ominous place to avoid the disaster of war.
…
…
At the foot of Anyi City.
『Swear to destroy this city! 』
?Bao Zhong held a spear, raised his arms and shouted.
???Although Bao Zhong is not ranked among the brave generals under Cao Cao, and he was not known for his bravery in the past, he has shown some unusual bravery in the present.
?Perhaps Cao Cao personally supervised the battle from the high platform, or perhaps he felt a little aggrieved after the battle had been going on until now, and the soldiers of Cao''s army who attacked Anyi were more or less cooperative.
There is no sense of responsibility or urgency. These Cao soldiers just knew that Cao Cao was watching them from behind. If they were beheaded for fear of fighting, their death would be in vain!
Therefore, even in the face of defensive counterattacks from the defenders on Anyi City with wood, stone, and rain of arrows, Cao''s soldiers did not flinch.
At noon, the sun was high and the heat wave was rolling, but the morale of Cao Jun was like a raging fire, burning more and more.
Led by Bao Zhong, they fought hard to the top of the southern city of Anyi.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It’s a pity that the good times did not last long…
Pei Ji, who was defending the city, originally thought that Cao''s army would be somewhat timid under the pressure of the approaching hussar general, so he was slightly lax in his defense. Bao Zhong seized the opportunity to attack the city and was immediately frightened out of his mind. However, As the city defender, if he retreats, the city will immediately change hands!
??So Pei Ji quickly led his private soldiers of the Pei family to rush forward and started a fierce fight with Cao''s soldiers who climbed onto the city wall.
Not to mention, I don’t know if it’s because the defenders were somewhat buffed, or because Cao Jun didn’t expect Bao Zhong to be able to board the city that day, but didn’t follow up in time, or for some other reason. Anyway, the Anyi defenders finally defeated Cao Jun. The soldiers were driven back again.
?Although this battle ended with the defeat of Cao Jun, everyone from top to bottom seemed to see hope of breaking the city.
??Although Cao Jun retreated as dusk approached, his fighting spirit remained unabated and he cheered as if he could break the city tomorrow.
…
…
Cao Cao personally met with Bao Zhong and encouraged him greatly, giving him wine and brocade robes.
??? Bao Zhong asked someone to hold the brocade robe. He smiled and returned the greetings with other military academy generals who congratulated him along the way. Then he entered his tent and collapsed instantly like a collapsed building block. "My mother-in-law!" 』 ? ? Bao Zhong''s son hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Father...you, you..."
??? Bao Zhong is middle-aged, and he did not fight every day before. Today, he suddenly fought with high intensity and did not urinate blood, which is already very good. After drinking some water, Bao Zhongcai let out a long sigh and said in a very low voice, "This time, it seems that you and I are going to die here..."
Bao Zhong''s son was still confused. He thought his father was really loyal and devoted his life to serving Cao Cao. So when he heard what his father said, he was stunned on the spot, his eyes widened and he was speechless for a while. .
『Crazy boy, crazy boy! ” Bao Zhong slapped his son on the back of the head, “Don’t wake up yet! 』
Father! ” His son became more and more confused.
“…” Bao Zhong was silent for a while, then kicked his son away, “Go, see if there is anyone outside the tent, and ask someone to guard you before you come back!” 』
?His son did as he was told. When he came back, he still couldn''t figure it out. He tilted his eyes to look at his father.
??Bao Zhong gnawed on the cooking cake, and while eating, he whispered: "Look at how idiotic you are... Anyway, you just have to follow me these days..."
Sometimes the children still cannot understand the painstaking efforts of their parents.
Bao Zhong originally wanted to explain it to his child, but looking at his child''s appearance, he suddenly felt that not explaining it would be a good thing. Otherwise, his idiot son would be yelling everywhere and it would be bad!
??Bao Zhong doesn’t think Cao Cao is a good man, so obviously, if he really encounters a horse, where is the safest place? Do you really think it’s safe to stand by Cao Cao’s side?
?Hum, if Bao Zhong were given the choice, he would naturally rather face the Anyi defenders than the Hussars.
It’s a pity that we can’t talk about this kind of thing at all.
It’s so helpless sometimes.
But Bao Zhong doesn’t know clearly. What he thinks is right may not be right for his children.
Some children are always skeptical of their parents'' experiences and lessons. Until they hit their heads and bleed, they will scold and blame their parents for not making it clear that there is a pitfall and why they didn''t help them in time. He forgot that he forgot his parents'' instructions and broke away from his parents'' pull and rushed forward desperately.

『Report! 』
The Hussar scouts reported, "Cao''s army has been attacking Anyi for several days. The city is in danger and the double rabbit flag has been erected many times!" 』
Fei Qian nodded, "I understand." Explore again. 』
The scout responded and retreated.
Those with more legs generally walk faster.
?For example, a six-legged scout can run back and forth very quickly.
But for two-legged infantry, you have to pay an extra price if you want to be fast.
As for the cannon without legs…
If you want to be faster, you must first light up the front-end technology trees of transportation and materials science.
In the past few days, Xun Chen, who was next to Fei Qian, felt more and more that the situation was strange. According to his understanding, the current hussars should march forward, then outflank the cavalry on both sides, confine Cao Jun to the area around Anyi, then cover up Cao Jun with infantry, use artillery, and finally completely encircle Cao Jun in Yuncheng. In the basin!
But Fei Qian walked very slowly, and sometimes the whole army even stopped due to artillery transportation!
this…
You are a hussar general!
Horses!
Not a general of artillery…
?However, as time went by, Xun Chen gradually realized that Fei Qian''s trip seemed to be to fight and train troops at the same time.
What we train is artillery, as well as the team of related soldiers and craftsmen who support the artillery.
? No, every time he walked for a while, the great craftsman Huang Dou would come to Fei Qian, murmur, copy and write, and then run away again like crazy.
Xun Chen’s guess was correct. Fei Qian wanted to use war to force the advancement of science and technology and the development of society.
If there hadn''t been the battle between Jinyang and Poxia, and if everyone hadn''t seen the unstoppable power of the artillery, people like running water might have come to persuade them now, Hussar, Zhenshui...cough cough cough, it''s so slow, you can''t leave it behind Artillery, go into battle lightly? The cavalry goes up first, then the infantry follows, and the artillery slowly follows. Otherwise, when the artillery arrives, Cao Cao will be gone...
Yunyun.
In fact, among the feudal dynasties of China, there were more than one opportunity to get rid of the shackles of history and transcend geographical limitations. It was like a pendulum movement. It had obviously surpassed the center line and moved in a higher direction, but was eventually stopped by the pendulum. The thin thread was pulled back. Is it the weight of the pendulum or the weight of the thin wire?
Just like during this march, Fei Qian did not give any additional guidance or give any ideas to these craftsmen and soldiers. The purpose was to observe what these craftsmen and soldiers would do when they encountered problems.
The result was a surprise to Fei Qian, and he was also quite emotional.
While passing through a not-so-easy road two days ago...
In fact, at present, even the main official path is not a smooth one. In addition, after the cavalry and infantry stepped on the front first and then again, by the time the artillery troops followed up, it was often full of potholes.
Luckily it hasn’t rained during this period, otherwise, the muddy roads would have been enough to drive the troops responsible for transporting artillery crazy.
??Feiqian is currently mainly used to transport artillery and other heavy weapons, as well as grain and grass baggage, and it is still mainly based on human and animal power. Lever mechanical gears, etc. are only used for a small amount of time and in local areas, but even so, they still bring some unexpected surprises to Fei Qian.
For example, when craftsmen and soldiers wanted to allow artillery vehicles to pass through potholes and soft ground, in order to prevent the wheels transporting artillery from getting stuck in the mud, the craftsmen and soldiers responsible for transportation constantly inserted logs in front of the wheels, and then made the artillery transport vehicles Always walking on logs, we walked through that section of the potholed road.
but…
Just like that, it’s gone.
?In the eyes of later generations of Fei Qian, isn''t this the prototype of a tracked wheel?
Huang Dou had difficulty understanding Fei Qian''s suggestion at first, but when Fei Qian changed his explanation, Huang Dou suddenly understood and was fascinated by it.
??Yeah, why are you staring at the wheel?
Why can''t these methods be regarded as "walking" and "leading" the road on the wheels? Doesn’t that mean that no matter what kind of road it is, these loaded vehicles can walk on flat ground?
So it is called "crawler".
Changing his train of thought, Huang Dou entered a semi-crazy state, muttering these two words, either running behind to follow the artillery truck to measure and record, or having someone beat something, and then he came up with new ideas. Came here again to discuss with Fei Qian...
?In Huang Dou’s original design, there were some shapes of wheels. For example, it looks like individual legs, wearing relatively wide "shoes", and then forming the shape of a wheel. However, with the continuous deformation and extension, looking at the new structures constructed of iron chains, logs, spokes, etc. The structure, somewhat similar to the crawler tracks of later generations, gradually took shape.
?Fei Qian didn''t say much, he just asked Huang Dou to do it and experiment while paying attention to safety. It doesn''t have to be a real artillery mounted on the vehicle, you can just get a similarly heavy stone.
Huang Dou took the order and happily reached the back of the team.
Xun Chen has been watching quietly from the side these past few days, as if he has some enlightenment.
Fei Qian asked Xun Chen, "What do you see?" 』
plea,'' Xun Chen said, 『I understand a little bit...』
Fei Qian hummed, "Then tell me." 』
Xun Chen quickly raised his hands and said, "I think that in this world, all things exist side by side, each inheriting its own nature and each having its own strengths." Just like there are stars in the sky, mountains and rivers on the earth, people have emotions, and things have shapes and qualities. Each should be put to its own use and each should display his or her strengths. This is why it is the leader of the people, the key to officials, and it serves as the order of heaven and earth, and is the origin of all things. 』
Fei Qian nodded, but quickly shook his head, "This is too brief." 』
Too brief? Xun Chen didn''t quite understand, "What''s wrong with a brief summary?" 』
Isn’t it what a literary official like Xun Chen should do to summarize and summarize affairs? And it is correct to grasp the key points and elaborate as much as possible, right? Didn''t Fei Qian also hate those officials who were so confused that they couldn''t understand what they were talking about? So why does Fei Qian still say that his summary is "too brief" now?
Fei Qian smiled and said, "In ancient times, Cangjie created characters because he knew the pain of writing and the pain of enlightenment. Only then did the ghosts in the sky cry and the mountains and rivers mourn. Then in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was difficult to carve seals and write books. Only then did Kong Zhongni sit down." Discuss it and teach it. Nowadays, there are pens, inks and papers in the world, whether they are wooden slips, bamboo slips or carved stone tablets, all of which can be used to record events. Nowadays, things should be divided into two parts: things should be detailed and reasons should be important. If we use the method of catechism to discuss things, we will lose the details and it will be difficult for future generations to do so. Therefore, what you are saying, if you use it as a theory, it is fine, but if you use it as a matter of fact, it is too brief..."
Xun Chen couldn’t help but be startled, and then he thought for a moment...
