Annoying things are like peanuts planted in the land, and you want to pull them out, but often you don't pull out one, but a bunch of them, and all of them are very full.

It's a headache.

Just like right now, Fei Qian looked at the latest military report sent by Jia Qu and frowned deeply.

"Go and ask Dongcao to come and ......"

Fei Qian commanded, then put the military report on the table, reached out and picked up the pen, dipped in some ink, but when he mentioned it, he suddenly found that his hand was trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, Fang stabilized, and wrote on the wooden slip "Those who are not strong are not wise" Seven words, stopped writing and looked at it, staring at these words a little distracted.

These words seem to be Confucian words to persuade people to move forward, but in fact they are not, but Mohist. Self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world are not only Confucian things, and even strictly speaking, there are many other people's, but Confucianism has used it well.

"Those who are not strong in ambition are not wise", which is the words in Mozi's article about self-cultivation.

Fei Qian didn't know how those so-called Long Aotian-level traversers solved their own ideological problems, and he didn't know how these guys who saw people killing people, seeing gods and killing gods, and seeing ghosts and killing demons were psychologically constructed, but Fei Qian himself knew very well that without a tenacious mind, it was completely impossible to stay awake in the follow-up Three Kingdoms.

It's like this situation is happening right now, what should you do next?

Every time you take a step, it is like a minefield in the future, I don't know if there are any mines that are about to be detonated in the place where you land, and more importantly, these problems are that they will not explode immediately after stepping on them, but will delay the detonation, and when they explode, they are often already a mess.

Those experiences and knowledge in history can be provided to Fei Qian for reference and reference is less and less, all kinds of unexpected events will be more and more, the so-called advantage of the enemy does not exist, how to face the future, just like a traveler who groped his way alone in the fog and night, Fei Qian needs a stronger heart, a stronger will, in order to continue to move forward alone on their own chosen path.

These seven words are written by Fei Qian to himself, which can be regarded as a kind of self-reminder......

"My lord." Because the political hall is not far away, Xun Chen came soon and arched his hand under the hall.

"Oh, here......" Fei Qian put down his pen and said, "Come in, sit down." ”

Fei Qian pressed the wooden slip where the words were written, and did not immediately mention the matter of Jia Qujun's newspaper, and asked first: "If Guan Youruo is quite busy with political affairs, a certain person has made a new kind of tea, and I also invite Youruo to taste one or two...... Come on, brew some new tea! ”

The more important the matter, the more urgent it is, the so-called urgent matter should be postponed is this reason, delay does not refer to procrastination, but refers to the consideration of the matter and then deal with it. Eagerly throw the problem out, and then rush to deal with it, if the direction is not right, it may lead to the problem to develop worse.

Fei Qian himself is very anxious, but he can't show it, but he needs to be calm, as if everything is in order, otherwise on the one hand, he will be looked down upon by his subordinates, and on the other hand, it is easy for even the personnel with his subordinates to lose their calm and form errors in judgment.

So Fei Qian chose a seemingly completely unrelated topic as a starting point.

"Brewing?" When Xun Chen heard this word, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this action Fei Qian often does, and before he knows it, Xun Chen has learned it.

Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no special method of making tea, even the tea bricks, it was just to pick the fresh tea leaves, and then press and dry, in the tea production area, most of the Han Dynasty people were directly picking the leaves of the tea tree to cook the soup, far away from the place of origin can only be broken tea bricks, some habits will have one more process, heating and baking the broken tea to remove the mildew, and most people often directly add green onions, ginger, jujubes, orange peel, dogwood, mint, etc. to cook the soup, after boiling, the soup is hot, skimming off the foam, And they served it and drank it.

This habit will continue until the Tang Dynasty, from the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the craft of sencha has become popular on a large scale from north to south, and there are even detailed regulations, to moxibustion several times, grind a few times, Luo several times, etc., to form a fine tea powder, and then according to the degree of water boiling, then put into the teapot to boil, and drink. This set of tea drinking modes that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, such as preparing utensils, selecting water, making fire, Hou Tang, boiling tea, grinding tea, Luo tea, sencha, and drinking tea, was learned by the international students at that time, and then continued to be used in later generations.

In the Song Dynasty, there began to be a bucket of tea, also called dian tea. Only in the Ming Dynasty did tea be brewed, which also benefited from Zhu Yuanzhang. Because Zhu Yuanzhang knew the people's suffering, he boycotted the tribute cake tea and only let the tribute loose tea, so the leaf tea and grass tea were prosperous, and the tea style also changed. Loose tea replaced dragon and phoenix cakes, the process of roasting tea gradually became popular, and six types of tea began to be gradually established. The tea brewing method of later generations is also a continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Braided Dynasty, they only knew how to eat and drink lying on the bones of the Ming Dynasty, and in this regard, they did not contribute much.

There is no tea in the north, but Fei Qian knows that there is a kind of tea in Shanxi in later generations, tartary buckwheat tea, so Fei Qian asked people to find it, but I didn't expect these tartary buckwheat to be quite a lot in Taihang Mountain......

After a while, tartary buckwheat tea was served.

Fei Qian shook the tea bowl, looked at the slightly yellowed tea soup, picked it up and smelled it, well, it's okay, the burnt smell is only a little bit, not very obvious, most of it is pure buckwheat fragrance, very pleasant.

Xun Chen was the same, smelled it, nodded slightly, took a sip, nodded again, and then took a big sip, "The wheat is fragrant, slightly sweet, but it's not bad......"

"Not only that, but this thing is the same as ordinary tea cakes, and it can also be consumed...... "Fei Qian said as he knocked on the tea bowl.

Xun Chen held the tea bowl, his eyes rolled for a moment, and he reacted almost immediately: "Oh? I don't know where this thing is produced and how much it costs? How much is the production? ”

"This thing is a Montenegrin specialty...... It's a lot of production......" Fei Qian also took a sip, then put it down, and said, "As for the cost...... Hehe......"

Perhaps it is one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, many of the people of Montenegro have planted this kind of tartary buckwheat that does not really need fertile land in the mountains, and it is precisely because of this that this kind of tartary buckwheat, because the seeds are smaller than ordinary buckwheat, if it is eaten directly, the taste is not good, but after the seeds and leaves are fried together and then brewed, there is a different wheat fragrance.

Tartary buckwheat has the effect of strengthening the stomach and eliminating food, so if you are hungry, you will inevitably get hungrier and hungrier the more you eat, but this side effect is undoubtedly good news for the Hu people on the grassland......

Although the profit of tea bricks purchased from the south is also good, how can anyone control a tea source and earn it from head to toe, and it is more yellow and violent?

What's more, these tea sources do not need to occupy the original cultivated land at all, but only need those Montenegrin people who are placed in Huguan Shangdang Taiyuan to continue to plant and produce, and the cost is quite low.

This alone, the profit of trade with the Hu people, Fei Qian can increase by at least three or four percent!

Xun Chen listened to Fei Qian's words, and then looked at the tea soup, his eyes could almost emit light, shook his head, and said, "...... Congratulations! That's really ...... What a ......."

Xun Chen looked at the tea soup in his hand, and couldn't find any words to describe it, maybe it was not an exaggeration to use a book of Wanli, although he was surprised, but he also knew that Fei Qian called him over definitely not just to show off a new source of wealth, but there were other things.

Sure enough, after adding another tea soup, Fei Qian waved his hand to let the attendants retreat, and then said: "Liang Dao came to report, saying that the Black Mountain people who picked tartary buckwheat found Yuan's soldiers and horses in the mountains......"

"What?!" Even Xun Chen, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but shake his hands when he heard the news, and the tea soup almost shook out.

Fei Qian nodded, confirming that Xun Chen had heard correctly, and then said, "...... It is estimated that it is inconvenient to transport grain and grass between the mountain roads, and these Yuan soldiers stopped to fish and hunt to replenish while waiting for the follow-up grain and grass ......"

Xun Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Fei Qian could see that Xun Chen's hand seemed to tremble a little.

For the moment, Yuan Shao is a behemoth, completely different from the Yang family, who is strong on the outside and capable in the middle. The Yang clan is actually a representative of the Shanxi clan of the Shandong Shi clan, although it is a bit awkward to say, but the actual situation is like this, and the Yuan clan, a local scholar clan in Shandong, although it is nominally equal, but the gap in strength is very large.

Not much else, just from the time of Liu Xiu, the preferential policies and political tilts for Jizhou and Yuzhou that have continued to the present, and the resulting protégés and former officials all over the world are already difficult for the Yang family to bear.

fell a Yuan Shao and fattened Cao Cao.

Killed a Yuan Shu, cheapened Sun Ce.

The foundation of the second Yuan, which has been tossed many times in history, can still support a Wei State and a Wu State, which is enough to prove how strong the Yuan family is at the moment.

Although I know that Yuan Shao will not be good in the future, it is only on the shoulders of historical giants that he can stand and speak without backache, and if Fei Qian and Yuan Shao start a war at the moment, how many people can achieve "those who are not strong in ambition are not wise"?

"I don't know who is leading the army?" Xun Chen was obviously aware of this, but soon, he recovered from the initial shock and asked in a deep voice.

Fei Qian glanced at the wooden slip and said, "There are two flags, one should be Yuan, and the other is Gao...... People and horses, not too close, and the Montenegrin people don't know how to count...... But it is estimated that there will be at least 3,000 ......" Although the Montenegrin people do not know how to read, they should not underestimate the wisdom of the grassroots people. I don't know how to read, but I can still draw patterns according to cats and tigers, but it's hard to count these Montenegrins, so I can only make a rough estimate of Jia Qu according to his description.

This can be regarded as an additional benefit of housing the Montenegrin people nearby......

"Yuan, Gao?" Xun Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard for the generals of the Yuan clan to determine, the Gao clan should be a high-ranking cadre and a high-ranking talent......

"Gao Gan Gao Yuancai ......" Fei Qian nodded.

A general who is neither good nor bad. In history, Gao Gan has managed to block Cao Cao's offensive for more than half a year, and he is much stronger than Yuan Shao's sons, of course, it cannot be said that he is a second-rate top, probably average. He led the army, which shows that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to the Taiyuan area of Shangdang in the state, and does not attach much importance to it. After all, Yuan Shao's main direction now is still to kill Gongsun Zan and digest the territory of Youzhou.

"General Yuan......" Fei Qian shook his head and said, "Could it be that General Yuan has already settled in Youzhou?" Want to expand the state? Seems a little strange......"

It's not that the war can't be fought, but once this war begins, it won't end in a month or two months, or a year or two. Confronted Yuan Shao so quickly, during this period of time, everything he ate was not completely digested, and he had to exercise vigorously, which is strange if he didn't commit appendicitis......

Xun Chen pinched his beard, pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "What the lord said is very true. In a certain opinion, the general may not want to fight with the main bus! ”

"Oh?" Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen and asked, "Youruo, please speak." ”

Xun Chen stroked his beard and said: "If the number of soldiers is counted, the number of three thousand is not less, nor is it too much, if the general wants to seize and annex the north, it is definitely not this number, this is one of them; Second, it is difficult to transport grain and grass directly along the main road of Hanoi, and the rugged road in the mountains, what is the reason? Only fight for time! Therefore, a certain dare speculated that the lord's return to Pingyang was ...... The general has not yet known ......"

Xun Chen said slowly at first, but then gradually increased his speed, "...... Therefore, the general's march this time is not to fight, but to take ......it."

"Oh......" Fei Qian understood, pondered for a while, and felt that what Xun Chen said was still very reasonable, and couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the benefit of the strategist, Fei Qian only considered that if he and Yuan Shao get up head-on, it would be a big trouble, after all, the Yuan family in Hedong in terms of economy and population far exceeds Fei Qian, and now Fei Qian's stall is too big, and it is not good that Yuan Shao will make any tricks, and Fei Qian's backyard will be churning, so it is good not to fight for the time being, and it will be said after a few years, when the time comes, Fei Qian's territory will stabilize, and the two Yuan will fight each other, and under the rise and fall, it will naturally be better than turning his face now.

"Good!" Fei Qian nodded and said, "But...... Well, so-and-so got it......"

Fei Qian didn't ask the question, just looked at Xun Chen's eyes to know the answer, although he was a little reluctant to leave Pingyang now, but after all, it was a big deal right now, and he couldn't afford to have too many children, so he turned his mouth and said: "Don't bother the two masters, Youruo, order to go down, gather a thousand cavalry, and go to the party tomorrow!" Let Zhang Xiu and Zhang Bojin follow the army and lead the vanguard! Binh Duong Inner ...... I entrusted it to my friends......"

"Yui! Dare not do your best for the Lord! Xun Chen left the table and bowed, and was ordered to resign.

If it is as Xun Chen said, Yuan Shao sent this army, there is a great possibility that he heard that Fei was hiding before, and then came to grab the territory......

After all, the banner of the Yuan clan is flying high, if there is really no owner in the north, then it is only right to send a high man to bring some partial troops over to plant a flag. If you want to grab land, you naturally have to grab some time, so you would rather take the riskier mountain road than choose to take the official road that requires a long detour and takes more time.

According to this line of thinking, then there is only one way to solve this problem.

It was Fei Qian who personally went on a trip and asked Yuan Shao to send this army, whether it was a high-ranking cadre or a team led by a relative of Yuan's heir, and saw with his own eyes the living appearance of General Fei Qian, then the news of General Zhengxi's death was naturally just a rumor.

Then Yuan Shao is very likely to discourage the desire to continue the attack, after all, the war for the territory where the general is in the territory and the war for the land without the territory are two completely different concepts.

Of course, this is also a more ideal state, but how will it develop in the future, no one dares to pack tickets, what if Yuan Shao's brain is pumped......
