Regarding the matter of Zao You's envoy to Yuan Shao, Fei Qian has already told Zao You, and there is no big problem, but it is just to let Zao Yi perform in his true colors and bring some gifts to show his respect for Yuan Shao, after all, there is no bad relationship with Yuan Shao now, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being, so this task is not too difficult.

But today, Fei Qian took Zao Yi and Tai Shi Ming out of Pingyang City and went north, not for this one thing of the envoy, but because Fei Qian wanted to talk to Zao Yi and Tai Shi Ming alone.

These two people are actually very important here in Feiqian, and they are the two most important links in the entire blueprint of Feiqian, one is in charge of agriculture and the other is in charge of craftsmen, so that Feiqian can find a way to take out more time to manage and plan the whole situation, and farmers and craftsmen are no less important than military affairs for now......

Along the road of Pingyang to the direction of Yong'an, on the bank of the Xinshui River, there is a huge camp with many sentry posts and strict guards, which is where Feiqian's workshop is located.

Fei Qian took Zao Yi and Tai Shiming to stand outside the workshop camp, looking at the wall of the workshop, and also looking at the rice field next to the canal in the distance, and suddenly said: "Most of the people think that you are the author, and they are all boring and ......."

Without waiting for Zao Yi and Tai Shiming to react, Fei Qian continued, "One is a farmer, all day long yellow mud is a companion, and the other is ...... Oh, the craftsman, who has been with iron all his life, is not comfortable. It is often said that standing in the world, when the mind is relaxed, the war is based on strategy and the art of war, and the government is based on education, the right way is the way......"

Not only some individual people in the Han Dynasty, but also many people in later generations thought so.

The Three Kingdoms, naturally, you want you to calculate me, I calculate you, the kind that sweeps 300,000 with 30 soldiers is called the Three Kingdoms, and some children are affectionate all day long, trivial, research and invention, can it be called the Three Kingdoms?

It's not interesting to engage in logistics and calculate grain and grass, and to conduct craftsman research, only when the two armies face each other, kill and kill, you set a fire, and I pour a scoop of water, then it is interesting......

It's as if logistics troops are not soldiers, only special forces are called soldiers.

Is it important to have a strategy and a strong martial arts?

Of course.

But resources and technology are equally important.

What is called "one Han top five Hu", it is by virtue of the comprehensive suppression of the Xiongnu by metallurgical technology, that all aspects of the crit were hit, not that the Han people have stronger martial arts and more intelligent strategies than the Hu people......

In fact, this point is seen in some books in the Taiku, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, strictly speaking, the Xiongnu were not defeated, but were dragged to death alive, the Xiongnu in the Han Wu Emperor's thirty or forty years of war, was dragged from strong to weak, from a strong tribal alliance dragged to pieces, fragmented, to the end of the Han people wearing iron armor with a refined ring head knife rushed up, and the Xiongnu finally couldn't even get together a set of tattered leather armor, and there were bones to make arrowheads......

This is called a Han Ding Wuhu.

And in the frontal war between them, well, the Han people actually did not take much advantage, and there were not many strategies to achieve.

Battle of Pingcheng, a crushing defeat.

The battle of Mayi was recognized in advance.

Then the first time the Xiongnu were defeated head-on was in the winter of the sixth year of Yuanguang, and the cavalry general Wei Qing was sent out of Shanggu, the cavalry general Gongsun Ao was out of the dai, the light car general Gongsun He was out of the clouds, and the cavalry general Li Guang was out of Yanmen.

Wei Qing went to Longcheng and won the first 700 levels.

Most of these 700 levels were obtained by Wei Qing along the way, and the other three were either defeated or lost......

The subsequent battles were basically like this, each with its own victory and defeat, and the Han army as a whole still killed a thousand enemies at the beginning, and lost a thousand and two by itself, and several times even the army was swallowed up by the Huns......

"The right general Su Jian died in the army, took it off alone, and ransomed it as a concubine."

Li Guang killed more than 3,000 Huns, killed 4,000 of his army, and returned alone...... When beheaded, redeemed as a concubine. ”

"Junji General Zhao Ponu rode out of Shuofang to attack the Huns with 20,000 horses, and he didn't return it."

"Li Ling, the cavalry captain, sent 5,000 infantry out of Yanbei, fought with Shan Yu, and beheaded more than 10,000 captives. The Ling army was defeated and surrendered to the Huns. ”

"General Gongsun Ao Wan cavalry and 30,000 infantry went out of Yanmen...... Ao and Zuo Xianwang fought unfavorably, and they were both returned. ”

"The second division general Guangli will send 70,000 people out of Wuyuan...... Guangli was defeated and the Huns were surrendered. ”

Don't these generals with troops have no strategy and no martial arts?

And Fei Qian is facing a new generation of overlords on the steppe, replacing the Xianbei tribe of the Xiongnu, and he can defeat Xianbei just by strategy?

Are you kidding.

The population of Bingzhou itself is not large, and if too much vitality is consumed in the war, whether it is for the defense of Xianbei now or in the future, it will be a tragic thing.

Before formally handing over the authority, it is natural to clarify the attitude of the two people, not just a momentary impulse, and then regret it after a while, which is not only a mistake for others, but also a mistake for oneself.

Zao Yi was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "The ancients, the people of the Turks, the firewood bonfire, Fang Wei Houji." Shun both ploughing, Yu also crops, Zhuang He is luxuriant, Hui Mu is glorious. Kong despises Fan beard, does not perform in the countryside, is trapped in Chen Cai, and does not eat for seven days. The family and the country are farming, diligence is not scarce, and there is no storage of stones, so what is the tax? Where does the pay come from? I want to obey the festival, yellow mud as a companion, green seedlings as a companion, persuade farmers to enter the mulberry, and never regret it. ”

Fei Qian didn't have any evaluation, but solemnly bowed his hand to Zao Yi to show his respect for his ambition.

Zao only returned the salute with dignity.

Tai Shiming, who was on the side, said at this time: "I ...... It's not as good as Shi Shu Shiyuan, it's not as good as its brother Yuanzhi, and it's not as good as his brother's eldest son......"

Jujube only arched his hand slightly on the side to show modesty.

Tai Shiming continued: "...... Winning a thousand miles, strategizing, Ming has also thought about it, but it is not my strength...... Since childhood, he once watched his father and brother plough with the help of the plow, and when he saw his hard work, he once boasted that he would make a thing that could be exempted from his labor...... Zhonglang, please be relieved, Ming is not a grandiose person, but also willing to be accompanied by steel tools, if it can benefit future generations, it can also comfort his life......"

Tai Shi Ming's speech is short and slow, and it is not as literary as Zao Yi, but the meaning is the same, Fei Qian also solemnly bowed to Tai Shi Ming, and then said to Zao Yi and Tai Shi Ming: "If there is no agriculture, there is no grain in the warehouse, and if there is no work, the instrument is unfavorable, and the good fighters have no great achievements, I should choose a day to pay homage to the two farmers and workers!" ”

As he was talking, suddenly a horse galloped in the north, and in the smoke and dust, it was faintly seen that it seemed to be a post guard in the post station who was specially used to transmit information......

Fei Qian's heart couldn't help but tighten, could it be ......
