Chapter 970: Thoughts
The situation in the distant Jizhou and the rise and fall of the imperial court officials seemed to have nothing to do with Han Sui Fan Chou, and at this moment, they were just leading the army towards Chang'an.
The Xiliang soldiers ate and drank well in Meiyang for a few days, and they also vented their original uneasy emotions, and they were really excited for a while, saying that they were going to attack Chang'an, and these soldiers didn't seem to think it was too difficult, and they didn't have many complaints.
Almost all the grain and grass that could be scavenged in Meiyang City were taken away by the Xiliang soldiers, and as for how the remaining people in Meiyang will live in the future, it doesn't matter what the Xiliang soldiers do.
The night was approaching, the camp was already set up, and after the evening, the tired people had already gone back to the tent to rest, and those who were still a little energetic chatted in a whisper around the fire without a word.
The wilderness was quiet all around, and the fire of the camp did not shine far, and all around was hidden in darkness, like the heart of a conspirator.
Scout rangers formed a small team, around the camp flickering in the dark, guarding the surroundings of the army, these rangers are basically the only cavalry of Han Sui and Fan Chou, so they are also very expensive, food and clothing are closely used by these cavalry, because if there are no these cavalry, then the Xiliang soldiers who are pure foot soldiers are equivalent to half blind.
Most of these scouts were Han Sui's people, and the war horses under Fan Chou's command had already followed Ma Teng to Xinfeng......
This leads to the information around him, and what Fan Chou gets is always second-hand goods.
Fan Chou didn't think there was any problem before, but now he feels that there is a big problem in it......
Even if it's second-hand, it's possible that it's a fake!
This made Fan Chou a little unbearable.
After hurriedly inspecting the camp, Fan Chou returned to his big tent, and as soon as he entered the tent, his face suddenly sank, so gloomy that he seemed to be able to drip water at any time!
Although Han Sui said before that he didn't care about the knighthood of the marquis, in fact, he ......
Fan Chou gritted his teeth and snorted, his Fan Chou mind was a little rougher, but it didn't mean that he was a fool!
At this moment, the most urgent thing at the moment is how to fight with the soldiers and horses of Chang'an! Thoughts should be on the hard things on the battlefield, what kind of friendship is there there?!
But along the way, I don't know that many people have popped up there, and they have sent a lot of gifts one after another, all of which are said to be sent by Han Sui's old people......
What deceased?
asked Han Sui, and Han Sui said that he didn't know either......
Bullshit is not clear!
Who the fuck would send things indiscriminately and more than once?
How come Lao Tzu has never met such an old man?
Bullshit!
What a name is guaranteed!
People are often like this, once the relationship between each other begins to crack, it is very difficult to repair it, and it can be restored to the original state.
So until this moment, Fan Chou suddenly felt that the original friendship with Han Sui seemed to be becoming more and more unreliable now.
Fan Chou followed Dong Zhuo all the way to fight, and later with Li Dao Guo Yan, defeated the defenders of Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and cut off the heads of many officials in the imperial court.
This time to recover Chang'an, Fan Chou must win, and if he doesn't win, he will die without a place to be buried!
"General, Captain Li is here!"
"Come in!" Fan Chou commanded, "Watch the tent, don't let people get close!" β
Fan Chou's personal guards naturally received the order, and after Li Li entered the big tent, the sound of the armor piece sounded softly, and immediately surrounded the entire tent, obviously the guards had isolated the possibility of outsiders eavesdropping.
"Are you feeling better?" Fan Chou asked Li Lidao. On that day, Li Li was defeated by Ma Chao, almost died on the spot, and was captured by Ma Chao, but because Li Dao and Ma Teng Han made peace, they let Li Li come back. Although he escaped and died, Li Li thought that the lost soldiers were still beaten......
Although the injuries on his body were not yet complete, Li Li still arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's care, it is already much better......
"Well," Fan Chou hummed indispensably, and then immediately asked, "You followed General Han in front this morning...... What's going on? β
When marching today, Han Sui led the cavalry and others as the front army, and met the so-called old man, and when Fan Chou's Chinese army got the news and hurried to the front door, Han Sui's so-called old man had already left, and Fan Chou didn't see it at all.
After all, Fan Chou is a martial artist, and he speaks relatively straightforwardly, three questions and two questions, on the one hand, he can't ask anything, and the second also makes Han Sui very unhappy, and the two break up unhappily.
But this matter, like a pimple, always responded to Fan Chou's heart, so after camping at night, he called Li Li, who was marching with the front army, to ask for clarification.
Now there is no way to retreat, only to move forward, originally expected Li Dao to be able to quickly turn around with this war horse, join forces with himself, and conquer Chang'an, but now there is no news from Li Dao's side, and there seems to be some trouble between himself and Han Sui.
Li Li lowered his head, and when he heard Fan Chou's question, his heart couldn't help but move, although he and Ma Teng Han Sui are now allies, but the shame of being defeated by Ma Chao is something that Li Li has been unable to let go of so far, and now he has to endure the shame to do this and that under Han Sui......
Especially that Ma Chao, he looks up and doesn't look down every day, which is really embarrassing.
Every time he saw Ma Chao talking to a group of people who didn't know what to laugh at, Li Li would feel that Ma Chao was talking about the ugliness of his capture that day. Sometimes Li Li couldn't wait to rush up and fight with Ma Chao again, but Li Li knew that he couldn't beat Ma Chao by himself, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Now, it seems, like, um......
Li Li's eyes flickered a few times, and then he slowly raised his head......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Regarding Fan Chou's little emotions, Han Sui also has some opinions.
The deceased sent something, what's wrong?
This kind of thing is normal, now that he is worshiped as the new Marquis of Feng, of course there will be people attached to him, if he is now in Chang'an City, maybe he is already a guest!
What's the matter, if you want to see an old person and run away an old person, you can't do it?
I am famous in Guanzhong and Xiliang, so can there be no old people?
Han Sui's original name was Han Yue, originally had a reputation in Jincheng, and was recruited as an official by Yin Hua, who was too shou of Jincheng at that time, and later died of illness in office of Yin Hua, because Han Sui was equal to Yin Hua's protΓ©gΓ©, so Han Sui and other officials Jiang Ying and others chased Yin Hua's body to Yaoqiu, and carved a stone tablet for Yin Hua to commemorate his exploits, which is a good achievement.
It is precisely because of this that when Han Sui later went to Beijing to handle official business, He Jin, the general who was still alive at that time, heard his name for a long time and specially invited Han Sui to meet. At that time, Han Sui also admonished He Jin and persuaded He Jin to kill the eunuchs......
Later, the Xiliangqiang people rebelled, captured Jincheng, coerced Bian Yun and Han Yue, who were in Jincheng at that time, to join the gang, and elected Bian Zhang and Han Sui as commanders. It was at that time that Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, and Han Yue officially changed his name to Han Sui at this time.
So in a strict sense, Han Sui has more knowledge and more prestige than Li Dao, Guo Yan, and even Ma Teng, and from the bottom of his heart, Han Sui still hopes to get rid of the stain of a rebel......
What's more, even if it is a bitter family, there are a few poor relatives, and now that they are marquis, there are so many so-called "old people" who are not very familiar, isn't it a natural thing?
How else does this kind of thing need to be explained, and how else does it need to be explained? I am not Fan Chou's father, is it necessary to break everything to Fan Chou?
What's more, there is still a bear child by his side, well, other people's bear children need to be taken care of, where do you have time to pay attention to Fan Chou's little emotions......
"Uncle!" Ma Chao rushed to Han Sui's tent, bowed his hand, and then couldn't wait to say, "Uncle, I understand what you said yesterday!" β
Although Ma Chao is Ma Teng's oldest son, Ma Chao's character is Meng Qi. This is because Ma Chao's mother is a Qiang girl, so ......
Therefore, after Ma Chao became reasonable, he knew that although his father loved him, he also had limits, or for his father Ma Teng, he was more partial to a general, a general who could be trusted more. Of course, the current Ma Chao doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, if he can't even be a general, then I'm afraid he will lose the value of his existence on his father Ma Teng's side.
Whether it is the Han Dynasty or in later generations, when the child has not yet entered the rebellious thinking mode, the vast majority of fathers are still the heroes in the minds of the children, so in order to make himself more compound Ma Teng's expectations, Ma Chao not only practiced martial arts every day, but even took the initiative to show favor to Han Sui, in order to learn something from Han Sui that could not be learned elsewhere.
For example, the left pass.
For example, political affairs.
For example, the topic I talked about two days ago, why did Lao Qin in Guanzhong fail after the unification of the world......
"Oh?" Han Sui smiled, motioned for Ma Chao to sit down, and then said, "Okay, you can talk about it...... "Good teacher, guidance has always been something deeply rooted in the hearts of all Chinese people, Han Sui did not get rid of such a preference, anyway, he is idle now, so he might as well give a few words to young people at will.
Ma Chao said: "The defeat of Lao Qin is not due to the disadvantage of the soldiers, but because the conscription is too much, and the people are not able to make a living, so there is chaos. β
Han Sui nodded and said, "Yes, Meng Qi really has gained. β
When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately smiled happily.
"However, why did Lao Qin raise a conscription?" Han Sui asked slowly.
Ma Chao smiled, blinked his eyelids and pondered for a while, and said, "This ...... The First Emperor is so happy? β
"Yes and no." Han Sui said, then looked at Ma Chao's puzzled look, smiled, and explained, "When the world is in turmoil, the whole country is in the army, and when the chaos turns to stability, you must go to the army to return to the farm...... In order to prevent the resumption of the fire of the six countries, it is necessary to levy more labor and weaken the population......"
Qin Shi Huang was so happy about his achievements, naturally there was a little bit of it, but after the unification, the construction of a series of large-scale projects was not purely for his own enjoyment.
The Warring States period is a troubled era, and in addition to completing the task of "fighting the world", the dynasty that ends the troubled times also needs to establish a new regime, so in addition to the processes that must be experienced, there are two more complex and thorny issues to deal with although they are single, but they will be more complicated and thorny than the change of dynasty:
How to deal with the princes, nobles, armies and other personnel left over from the previous dynasties?
How to deal with your own huge army when you are fighting the country?
The number of troops required to fight the country is much greater than that of the country, and if the previous armies of various countries cannot be properly placed, it is very likely that the new dynasty will be in crisis.
More importantly, whether it is a soldier or a down-and-out aristocrat from another country, it takes a transition from years of conquest and from the arrogant past to the life of ordinary people.
Therefore, Qin Shi Huang chose to build a huge project, the Great Wall, the mausoleum, and the Afang Palace......
These major projects required a lot of manpower and material resources, so that the forces that could have overthrown the dynasty were handled very well.
"......" Ma Chao suddenly.
"The conquest of the Quartet is not for its chaos, but for its determination. Chaos can be determined, and the party will show saintliness, such as Emperor Guangwu......" Han Sui smiled again and said: "In this way, today's question is, why is Emperor Qin alive, and the conscription in Guanzhong has not been able to afford chaos, but when Qin II is in flames, it is full of flames?" β
"Oh......" Ma Chao muttered a repeat, jotted down the question, and then said goodbye to Han Sui.
When he walked to the door of the big tent, Ma Chao paused, turned around and said, "...... Well, so my uncle has been kind to the old people in Guanzhong for the past two days, could it be that he is also determined for the sake of war? β
Han Sui smiled when he heard this: "Meng Qi is now drawing inferences from one another, and he is also good!" When your father learns, he will be overjoyed! β
After receiving such praise from Han Sui, Ma Chao suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and saluted Han Sui again with a smile before walking out of the big tent.
The smile on Han Sui's face slowly retracted after Ma Chao left.
The bullshit battle is decided.
Whoever believes is a fool......
The most fundamental reason for the decline of Lao Qin is not the so-called conscription, not the so-called people's livelihood, not the so-called law, but simply because of the uneven distribution of benefits after the victory......
Who would easily give up their interests to others?
Anyway, Han Sui himself won't.
It's Lao Tzu, it's Lao Tzu's mother, who dares to try it? Now that I have worked hard to get to such a position, I have finally become a prince from a border city official, is it because of the so-called friendship that I have to throw it away?
Hum!
A gust of night wind blew the curtain of the big tent open, and the torch flame inside the big tent suddenly flickered, reflecting in Han Sui's eyes, and it seemed to flicker in the same way......
