Chapter 444 Riding a camel to fight

……………………………………

Xun You also felt a little headache about Lu Bu's "problem" of "training troops when he has nothing to do", so he made a little joke about him, and then immediately said: "In addition, there are still Eastern Xianbei in the northeast of Youbeiping and northwest Liaoning, among which Suli, Mijia, and Que Ji are the most powerful, and I heard that there have been many fierce battles with the 10th Division of the Fourth Army before?" ”

Liu Hanshao nodded, but said: "It's not a fierce battle, those are all old yellow calendars." The main reason is that Zhang Xiu has settled a lot of small tribes in Donghu in western Liaoning, and these people say that they are all their fugitive slaves, and they want to ask Zhang Xiu for it, but they were beaten by Zhang Xiu a few times, and they are honest. ”

After listening to Liu Hanshao's words, everyone nodded in response, but Lu Bu seemed a little disappointed, and said in his heart: If Zhang Xiu's kid can't handle those Xianbei miscellaneous in the north, how good it would be, he can ask his uncle for his life and go to suppress the thieves and make meritorious contributions.

Suddenly feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right, Lu Bu withdrew his little caution that had drifted away, and when he looked up, he found that not only was everyone looking at him, but the eldest brother also stretched out a thumbs up to him from afar.

Is this to praise me?

I only heard Liu Hanshao say: "Sure enough, it is the elite of our big men, and the Xianbei people who beat it dare not herd sheep casually." The west is far away from the desert north, is there also a credit to you? ”

That's what you want me to boast about!

"Uncle, our family, what are you polite to me? What credit is not credit......"

Lu Bu was originally happy, and as he spoke, he suddenly felt that Liu Hanshao's face seemed to be a little wrong, and everyone looked at him strangely.

I was most afraid of the sudden embarrassment, even Lu Bu couldn't bear this, so he immediately got up, stood upright, saluted a standard military salute, and said: "Report to the commander, killing the enemy and driving slaves is the duty of the lowly position, and the lowly position does not dare to take credit." ”

"Well, thank you!"

Lu Bu's age is not too young to really throw his face on the ground, so after Liu Hanshao finished the previous sentence, he immediately followed and said earnestly: "Xiaobu, Confucius said well, those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek for a while; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. ”

Zhao Yun has been promoted from brigade commander to army commander, there are more people in charge, more things to deal with, and more problems to consider. However, at this moment, I can't understand whether Confucius said this or not, and then whether Confucius said it or not, the eldest brother said it was so reasonable!

"Xiaobu, my brother knows that you are loyal and courageous, eager to serve the country, and eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. You also know that my brother put you here to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, right? ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was like a primary school student, lowering his head and going a few more points, Liu Hanshao said with relief and kindness: "But we are all Han soldiers, first of all, we should keep in mind that soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty. Why obey orders? It's because we want to seek the overall situation and seek eternity! Soldiers defend for the country, like the Great Wall of steel, and soldiers fight for the country, like a sharp knife out of the sheath! ”

Then, Liu Hanshao said with a serious expression: "Brothers here, I hope you can also remember that we obey orders because we are soldiers, we are born for the country, we can fight for the country, and we can also ...... Die for the country! ”

Lu Bu couldn't help shouting: "Live for the country, fight for the country, die for the country!" ”

The people also stood up and said in a loud voice: "Live for the country, fight for the country, die for the country!" ”

Liu Hanshao got up, stood upright, saluted, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces. After confirming his eyes, he was quite satisfied with his flickering.

"Brother knows that the brothers actually want to fight, make meritorious contributions, and serve the country, but Xiaobu is fierce, dares to run out to train the army, and does what everyone wants to do but dare not do. To be honest, as a soldier, in fact, my brother also wants to be like Xiaobu, no matter what the overall situation is, just fight with the enemy. But...... What about after the war? Even if they were scared and ran away, we rushed to their nest and carved a visit to their kangtou...... And then what? We went home, they went home, and when the time came, there was chaos and decline in our house, and they came again on donkeys. ”

Although Liu Hanshao's words did not explicitly praise Lu Bu, they made Lu Bu feel like he was meeting a confidant, and Zhao Yun was pulled by the sentence "Riding a donkey again", thoughtfully.

I only heard Liu Hanshao say again: "It doesn't matter if they are called Xiongnu, Xianbei, or Rouran, or Turkic, whatever they call them." The point is, if we get rid of it, they will come again, so what should we do? Let's catch up every year, from generation to generation, just like a cow's tail chasing flies? ”

Lu Bu was angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "Then kill them all!" ”

But after saying a word, without waiting for Liu Hanshao to refute it, he was discouraged first, the grassland and desert are so big, how can they be killed?

However, Xun You heard something about it, His Majesty may not be satisfied with drinking Ma Hanhai and sealing the wolf like Huo Huqi, but wants to completely occupy the north.

However, this kind of thinking is dangerous!

"Commander, there are not only vast grasslands in the north, but also desert Gobi, rashly sending a large army, the military expenses and grain and grass required are huge, and the people can hardly bear it? Even if it can be occupied, the north is barren and cannot be cultivated, not only can it not bring income to the imperial court, but the imperial court must continue to subsidize it, which consumes national strength and outweighs the losses. ”

"Gongda, reading is like climbing high and looking far, the more you read, the more you see, the broader your horizons will be, but sometimes you often forget your feet because you look too much elsewhere. You're under the Five Plains, all the way from the Northland, have you ever thought that you would be stationed here? ”

Liu Hanshao smiled and said: "It is said that the Han people are good at farming, the Hu people are good at shepherding, and the northerners are good at riding, and the southerners are good at boats." This is common sense, and there is some truth, but there is also a certain bias. Lao Dai, do you know how to farm? ”

Dannd was stupid.

Commander, have you forgotten? I was originally a Southern Huns, and I was a small farmer to herd cattle and sheep in my master's house, how could I farm? No, there are no Southern Xiongnu anymore, I am from the Han Dynasty, so I won't be able to farm!

Fortunately, Liu Hanshao didn't need him to answer, and then asked: "Xiaobu, do you know how to farm?" ”

Lu Bu was also stupid.

Uncle, I'm going to say I'll eat, will you beat me?

Lu Bu's embarrassed look was self-evident, and Liu Hanshao pretended to be mysterious and said: "Brother tells you a secret, in fact, brother is not very good at farming!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, but Liu Hanshao said: "So, there are great mountains and rivers in the north, and the Hu people can live there, but can't we live?" Don't be afraid of what will happen to the enemy, we won't do anything. No, you can learn it. We must not only learn to develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses, but also learn to learn from each other's strengths. This time, my brother prepared a good baby for the brothers to learn from! Second, let's talk about how many camels there are in the state now. ”

…………

That's right, the "thing" that Liu Hanshao asked Zhao Yun to prepare was a camel.

If it is said that the original policy of stoking west and leaning east was to survive, and now the north and south are to consolidate the foundation. Since Dong Zhuo began to count, Pingbaibo, Pingxiliang, and the Southern Xiongnu, there have also been locust plagues in the middle, not only the court is tired, but the people are struggling on the edge of life and death. Although it has slowly improved in the past two years, it will take ten months to give birth to a baby, how can this improvement be immediate? For example, the immigrants from Qingzhou and the naturalized people in western Liaoning, that is, during the summer harvest this year, have just seen a bumper harvest scene full of Lianggu. At this time, if a large army is mobilized and the states are sent south in an attempt to actually unify themselves, if Liu Yan and Liu Biao jump over the wall in a hurry and start a war again, the situation in the north may deteriorate rapidly.

It's not that Liu Hanshao doesn't want to unify the Han as soon as possible, but this matter is really urgent now. Fortunately, the scumbag still remembers that Liu Yan in Yizhou is dying, and he has all the remaining sons in Luoyang! Xuzhou Tao Qian is also dying, Beibei is now a friend of women, who else can that Tao Gongzu give Xuzhou to?

In this way, Liu Hanshao changed from "not in a hurry" to "not in a hurry", but instead focused more on the north.

Even if he is a scumbag gangster, Liu Hanshao also knows that the nomads in the north have brought countless disasters to the Central Plains, and it is even more regrettable that the whole of North Asia was stolen by a blind bear who jumped in, and this blind bear is even more devouring the flesh and blood of my Han man again and again, tyrannical and insatiable, and his evil deeds are especially better than evil ghosts!

Now, my brother is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if he can completely solve the border troubles in the north, I am afraid that there are more Han people who are looking for cotton and high-yield crops to save them, right? In this way, it can be regarded as a brother "did not die in vain, and did not live in vain". If you still have the strength to spare, you might as well copy back to the bear blind man's lair, what Ural Mountains, do you admit it?

It should be called the "West Great Wall Mountains"!

It is precisely because of this ambition that when formulating the "Xinzhou Governance Strategy" for Ma Teng, Liu Hanshao thought about harvesting cotton and camels from Xinzhou. Usually when it comes to the north, it always reminds people of the grassland, and when it comes to Xinzhou, it always thinks of the desert, but as a scumbag who can hand-draw a map of the world, Liu Hanshao knows that Xinzhou also has a large area of oases, and the north also has an endless Gobi Desert.

Haven't you heard of riding a camel to war?

The important thing is that in addition to riding, "this thing" can also be carried, can pull carts, and can plow the ground, like an ox, a donkey, and a horse, and eats roughly, even a cactus dares to gnaw, it is really not a picky eater. Not only the skin, hair, meat, milk, but also the hoofs are as big as plates, and the toes and planters are thick skin, which is much less harmful to the trampling of the grass than the hard-hoofed livestock of sheep and horses.

It's just that the camels in New South Wales are all two Mimi, and compared with the dromedary camels in Central Asia, they are like a little fat dun, and the running speed is not as fast as the dromedary camels. But the fat dun also has the benefits of the fat dun, the weight is larger, the endurance is stronger, and it is easier to ride, just put a mat between the twin peaks, which is more trouble-free than the saddle.

However, the poor scumbag thought that he had found the treasure to conquer the north, and let Wang make trouble to collect camels from Xinzhou for fear of arousing Ma Teng's suspicion, and let Zhao Yun raise camels in Bingzhou to pretend to be mysterious, but he didn't know that because of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian, Huo Quai, and many, many Han cattle people, camels were no longer a rare thing in Dahan.
