Chapter 91: The Horse (5)
Chapter 91: The Horse (5)
The next morning, Chen Cheng got up very early as usual. When I washed my face with water, I found that the scars on my face had faded a little. In the backyard, he opened the bow, danced the sword, and shot the gun, and trained for half an hour before he shouted Liu Qian up and began to prepare breakfast.
Now his proficiency in various weapons is more than four hundred, and the proficiency of bows and arrows is close to five hundred.
Ordinary people in the Han Dynasty generally ate two meals a day, but he was used to the life of three meals a day, so he naturally had to eat three meals a day. Not long after, with the help of his own soldiers, he had already cooked a large pot of meat porridge, and several pots of helmets, plus a little pickles, and it was today's breakfast.
The rice, noodles, meat and vegetables were all sent by Ma Teng, and as a warlord who commanded a county, he still took out this little thing. Liu Qian had already finished washing, and then stood under the eaves of the porch, watching Chen Cheng and the soldiers busy working. On the other side of the county office, other soldiers were feeding their horses fodder and beans.
Horses are more delicate animals than people, and the better the horse, the more delicate it is. As herbivores, horses spend a lot of time eating every day, and in order not to lose fat, someone has to feed them in the middle of the night. The so-called "horses have no night grass and no fertilizer", this is what it means.
After feeding the horses, the soldiers lined up and took turns to feed and eat.
Chen Cheng tore open the pot helmet and threw it into the porridge, then pushed it in front of Liu Qian and said, "You can eat it." ”
He himself picked up a piece of dough and asked, "Does it still hurt in your body?" ”
Liu Qian lowered her head, drinking porridge "snoring", and heard the words "En".
Chen Cheng said: "At the beginning, it would be like this, just wait for a few days of rest." ”
"Yes."
Chen Cheng stopped talking, and it took three minutes to wipe out the food in front of him. Liu Qian is still working hard to fight against food, and the flour used in the pot helmet is not a product of this era, but something he brought from another world, and he uses a little less to use.
In this era, wheat is still eaten by the lowest people. Because there is no good way to remove the husk, when eating, the husk is cooked with wheat bran, which not only the mouth, but also scratches the throat. He doesn't care about himself, even if it is raw wheat, he can still eat it without changing his face, but of course he can't be so rough for Liu Qian.
People in the south mainly eat rice, people in the north mainly eat millet, there are more wheat growers here in Xiliang, and there are also many places that have begun to have the technology of hulling, but there are still some shells remaining in the flour more or less, which is very hard, and naturally cannot be compared with the flour taken out by Chen Cheng.
While waiting for Liu Qian to finish eating, Chen Cheng took out a roll of bamboo slips and began to write things on it. As a highly educated person, he knows that summarizing and reflecting is a good habit, and only by reflecting on past experiences and summing up the reasons for success and failure can he not fall twice in the same pit.
But it may also be that the essence of human beings is a repeater. Sometimes, even if you know what to do, when it's time to fall into the pit, you still fall into the pit.
Chen Cheng lifted the brush, dipped it in a little ink, and began to think in his head.
"Strategy fails because of mistakes, and tactics because of failures are mistakes. The reactionary forces in Luoyang City were so strong that they could not find any friends at all, and almost all of them were enemies. In that case, failure is normal. No matter how many times you defeat the enemy, you can't completely eliminate the source of the enemy, that is, a tactical victory cannot be transformed into a strategic victory. ”
Liu Qian nibbled on the pot helmet with meat filling, and looked sideways at Chen Cheng. I saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and sometimes he would suddenly stretch out, and then pick up a pen and write a few words on the bamboo slip. She didn't know what Juluhou was writing about, and she didn't know why he was so busy. A ten-year-old already understands a lot of things, and she knows a lot, but she doesn't know even more.
"Even if He Jin is killed, things won't get any better. Kill He Jin, as well as Dong Chong, Ma Riyan, Yuan Kui, Ding Gong These people, these people can succumb to He Jin, but they will not bend their knees to themselves, do you want to kill them all? Even if he gets the queen, the queen mother and the two princes, as long as others don't agree, the righteousness is not in his hands. ”
Chen Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief, figured out some things, and wrote a few more strokes on the bamboo slips.
"Of course, it is important to occupy the righteousness, but as long as everyone disagrees, then the righteousness will not be obtained. Perhaps only when the authority of the central government is completely lost, at least most of it, can it appear as a savior, so that it can occupy some of the great righteous positions. ”
"If the name is not right, the word is not good. If you don't go your way, you won't get it. ”
His thoughts gradually diverged, "Of course, a military victory is very important, but if it cannot be converted into a political victory, it will only fall to the fate of Xiang Yu Napoleon." Isn't the overlord good at war? broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, won nine battles and nine victories, and broke the main force of the Qin army. returned to Pengcheng, and beat Han Gaozu and even pushed his children under the car. Napoleon also swept across Eurasia and defeated one powerful enemy after another. These two people are both genius generals who are not born in the world, but in the end they all ended up in a dismal end, and the truth of this cannot be unaware. ”
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth, and he said: "The wheel is difficult to take, and the broken wheel is even more difficult to take, and Xiang Yu can take ......"
"Haha!"
He couldn't help laughing as he read it, and after laughing twice, Chen Cheng looked to the side and saw that Liu Qian had finished breakfast and was staring at him. Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and asked, "Is there something on my face?" ”
Liu Qian shook her head and said softly, "No." ”
"Oh, that's good." Chen Cheng said: "I'll wait to give Ma Teng a gift, do you want to go with me, or do you want to rest for a while?" ”
The corners of Liu Qian's mouth rose and said, "I'll go with you." ”
"Okay."
Chen Cheng put away the bamboo slips and put them back in the "inventory". The "inventory" was already full, but in the previous series of battles, the arrows were splashed like water, and I don't know how many quivers were missed.
He took out some chests of cloth and copper coins, and then called a few of his own soldiers who had finished eating, and carried the boxes to the carriage. Liu Qian watched the things disappear in Chen Cheng's hands, and then several large boxes popped up, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, although it was not the first time she saw it, but every time she felt surprised and shocked, and wondered if he was an immortal.
Yan Zhong rubbed his waist and walked out, yawning and asked, "The prince is here to give a gift to General Ma Teng?" ”
"Yes, we are on other people's territory, of course we have to give gifts to make a good relationship."
Yan Zhong came over to take a look and said, "The cloth is reduced by half, so don't give the money away." ”
"Huh?" Chen Cheng was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”
Yan Zhong yawned again, covered his mouth and said, "It's too much." ”
Seeing Chen Cheng's surprised look on his face, Yan Zhong looked left and right, and whispered, "Hu people are afraid of power but not virtue. ”
Hu Ren ........ Is Ma Teng considered a Hu person? Chen Cheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better to listen to the opinions of the locals in Liangzhou. So he retrieved most of his belongings, and rode to the door of the horse's house.
The hair on the top of the head of the Qiang Hu soldier who was guarding outside the door was shaved clean, and only two small braids were left on both sides, and when he saw Chen Cheng and them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Princess, Julu Hou!" ”
Chen Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with seeing these costumes that were completely different from those of the Han people in the mainland. Although it is "the beauty of clothing", but King Zhao Wuling also has to carry out the reform of "Hufu riding and shooting", and many people in later generations are wearing suits and leather shoes every day, and I don't see many people heartbroken.
He himself didn't care much about these things, but after seeing these Qiang people, he thought of something else, "If my force value can be ten times stronger, I don't necessarily need to care about any political matters." If you can really fight 10,000 at a time, you can single-handedly cover all the hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang City, where do you care about what is righteous or unjust? At that time, I myself was the greatest righteousness! ”
"The problem is, even if we go up a few levels, the force value can't be so exaggerated, and we are not Saiyans, and the force can soar exponentially."
He was thinking about it here, Ma Teng had already greeted him, and said with a smile when he met: "I don't know if the princess and the giant deer marquis are here, is there something wrong?" ”
Chen Cheng reined in his thoughts and said with a smile: "The princess said: Thanks to the general's hospitality, I can't repay it, so I will give you a return gift." ”
He opened the chest, exposing the fine silks and cloths to the sun. The supplies in the palace are naturally the most sophisticated in the world, not to mention a poor country like Xiliang, and they are very rare when they go out of Luoyang.
Seeing the bright color, a voice of envy could not help but sound around them, and many people made a "tsk" sound.
Chen Cheng said: "It's just a small courtesy, not a respect." ”
Fifty pieces of silk and fifty pieces of cloth are of course very valuable, but Ma Teng is a prince of one side anyway, and such a little money is not in his eyes, but these silks and cloths are extremely exquisite, and they are rarely seen in Xiliang, Ma Teng laughed involuntarily, and said in a loud voice: "The princess is so polite!" ”
He settled down and said to Liu Qian: "The minister will order someone to rectify the wine and food ......."
Chen Cheng said with a smile: "General Ma, please don't be so polite, I already said it yesterday, ten days later, I will borrow the precious land to entertain the heroes in the county, and I won't bother first today, and I will leave." ”
Liu Qian had been quietly on the side, and at this time she also hugged her fists and said, "Uncle, please stay and say goodbye." ”
With that, they turned around and returned to the county office. When they walked out of a distance, Ma Chao snorted coldly and said, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" Father, don't be blinded by this little favor from them! ”
Ma Teng said: "I have my own measure. ”
Ma Yunlu didn't care so much, couldn't help but stepped forward to touch those exquisite silks and cloths, and exclaimed in surprise: "Oops, these cloths are so slippery!" The color looks good! It must look good in clothes! ”
She grabbed Ma Teng's arm and shook it, "Daddy, I'm going to make a new dress." ”
Ma Tie and Ma Xiu hurriedly said, "I want it too!" ”
Ma Teng said with a smile: "All of them, all of them!" ”
