Chapter 448
On the border between Langxie and Donghai County, the Qingzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army both put on a picture of ready to go, as if as long as there is a little spark, it may lead to a bloody battle. But in fact, this serious scene could not stop the whispering below, at least compared with the Xuzhou army opposite, the Qingzhou army looked more neat, but the whispering below never stopped.
"Hey, you say, is that woman from Xuzhou really so beautiful? can actually fascinate the lord like this, even if he is the opposite Liu Bei, he doesn't care at all."
At a position at the forefront, I saw a sword and shield hand holding the shield in front of him, his body still moving, but his mouth was turning up and down.
"Who knows? I haven't seen it again, but I heard that woman is known as the first beauty in Xuzhou, and she is very famous, I believe that she is definitely as beautiful as a fairy, otherwise it is impossible for our lord to hook up with people in Xuzhou, you know, the wives and concubines in our lord's house are all stunning, how can a woman of ordinary level make our lord make such a big sacrifice. ”
But it was a soldier next to him, who also learned from him, he didn't understand his figure, but his mouth moved very much.
For Yan Shao's wives and concubines, there have long been rumors in the market, after all, this is the Han Dynasty, one of the most open dynasties in the entire Chinese history, maybe inferior to the Tang Dynasty, but it is definitely not comparable to the Ming and Qing dynasties that went back more and more, and would not put women in cages.
Naturally, those women in Yan Shao's back house also have their own freedom.
From time to time, I would invite those good women in Linzi City to the state governor's mansion, and occasionally go to the homes of other good women to have banquets.
Although the movement is not particularly frequent, none of these women in Yan Shao's back house are mediocre in appearance, and it is natural that it has caused people in the city to talk about it.
Over time, the entire Linzi City knew that the ladies in Yan Shao's inner house were as beautiful as immortals.
However, they also know that it is not a particularly good thing to talk about their own lord behind their backs, so they dare not be too loud, let alone too public. As for the Xuzhou army on the other side, it's not that they look down on it, but, well, it seems that they really look down on it.
These Qingzhou Army officers and soldiers who were chatting happily basically did not take the Xuzhou Army on the opposite side in their eyes. During the previous battle of Xuzhou, many of them had been there, and those who had not been there had also heard of the strength of the Xuzhou army.
To be honest, from the hardware point of view alone, the strength of the Xuzhou Army is still very strong. As one of the richest states in the world at this time, and also a state that had not experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xuzhou's overall strength was very strong, and it could easily raise a huge army of more than 100,000 people and provide enough armor soldiers.
Compared with the hardware strength of the Xuzhou Army, its own combat effectiveness is really too poor.
Maybe it's because Xuzhou really hasn't experienced too many wars, and the overall strength is very poor, obviously it has the power of a state, and it is a very rich state, but even Cao Cao, who only has the power of half a state, can't beat it, which can't but be said to be a very ironic thing.
Cao Cao's Yanzhou is different from Xuzhou, it is the kind that has experienced many wars, whether it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, or some other messy things later.
Even those who have been to Xuzhou have a very good impression of the Xuzhou army, so they naturally will not take the Xuzhou army on the opposite side in their eyes.
For this war, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army are also very helpless, they have no bad feelings or good feelings towards Xuzhou, but they also know that this time the matter is indeed a bit of a loss on their side, after all, Yan Shao has seduced away the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door this time, and it is normal for people to come to the door now. This kind of thing can't be endured by any man, even them.
But on the other hand, Yan Shao is their lord, they naturally need to fight for Yan Shao, one by one, one by one, to be replaced by a tyrannical lord, but Yan Shao is the wise and martial class, and the Qingzhou, which was originally made difficult because of war and natural disasters, is like a paradise, and it is even stronger than Yizhou.
Qingzhou is extremely supportive of Yan Shao, even those families who are always picky and selective are also very supportive of Yan Shao. Don't look at the arrogance of these Qingzhou families, they are actually very knowledgeable about current affairs, and they are very clear about everything that Qingzhou has now, who brought it.
Of course, one of the most important reasons is that they know very well that troubled times are coming.
The family first came from "Mencius Teng Wengong", which refers to a noble family and a family of officials for generations. It is a big family with a surname that has been passed down from generation to generation. These big families that have been passed down from generation to generation are families. The earliest families such as the Six Secretaries of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period: the Zhao family of the Jin State, the Han family of the Jin State, the Wei family of the Jin State, the Zhi family of the Jin State, the Fan family of the Jin State, and the Zhongxing Clan. Among them, Han Zhaowei finally defeated the Zhi family, scored three points to enter the country, and was selected into the "Historical Records" family.
In the Han Dynasty, many families were the kind that had been passed down for many generations, just like the European aristocracy, which may not look good, but in fact they had gone through many dynasties, and their own history was even farther than those so-called royal families.
Just like the Yuan family, the Yuan family is a descendant of Yu Shun. At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou posthumously crowned the descendants of the sages, and sealed the descendants of the Yu family to Yu Chen (now Zhunyang, Henan), and established the Chen State. After the death of Fu Man, he was nicknamed Chen Hugong. His eleventh grandson has a name called Zhu Gong, the word Boyuan. Bo Yuan's grandson Tao Tu, with the ancestral word Yuan's life. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yuan family was hereditary Chen Guoshangqing. At that time, Yuan and Yuan were universal, so Yuan Tao Tu was also written as "Yuan Tao Tu". At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Yuan clan removed the "car" side of the word "Yuan", and Yong took Yuan as the clan. The titles of surnames in the Tang and Song dynasties, such as "The Dialectic of Ancient and Modern Surname Books", have detailed records of this.
These families have a strong ability to survive, and many of them are still smart families, and they are very clear that they have now entered the era of separation. The Han family doesn't dare to say that there is no drama at all, but the probability of a person who can sit in the world in the future, the Han family and other princes are almost the same.
In other words, in the future, there may be a Han dynasty in this world, but it is also possible that they don't know which princes.
Today, there are many princes, Ma Teng in Xiliang, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Yan Shao in Qingzhou, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and even Yuan Shu in Runan, these are the strongest princes today, and in general, the future lord of the world may also be born from them, don't underestimate these families, not all of them are some people with a small eye on the world, but also many smart and intelligent people, which can be seen from so many strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, at least half of them are from the family. Not to mention anything else, Zhuge Wolong and Pang Tong, the phoenix chicks, are both from families, and Xun Yu and Xun Yu are also from families.
For example, some other strategists in the Three Kingdoms period also have more or less family backgrounds, naturally, this does not mean that the children of the poor family have no future at all, for example, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Li Ru are from poor families.
Of course, this is not to say that the Hanmen are civilians, that is impossible, the vast majority of civilians in ancient times were illiterate, counting on them to produce a god-shattering strategist, the possibility is almost equal to zero, the so-called Hanmen refers to a low-status family or a small and medium-sized landlord class.
Because there is no way to compare with those big families, it will be called a cold family, whether it is Guo Jia or Jia Xu, they are all people of this class, that is, Yan Shao's Yan family, if it is not for Yan Shao's generation to be more competitive, I am afraid it will not be long before it will be classified into the sequence of cold doors.
It can only be said that knowledge changes fate, and there may be many stupid people in the family, but as long as there are still some people who have mastered knowledge, they are definitely much stronger than ordinary civilians. And over the years, many families have even begun to exist since the pre-Qin period.
They have a strong survival experience and know what to do when it matters most
Since it is a troubled time, and it is a time when it is necessary to make a choice, they will naturally want to choose a person who they are familiar with and understand, and who is willing to pay for their faith. This person is Yan Shao, compared with the other princes who are the high and seemingly unattainable Son of Heaven, Yan Shao is a person they are familiar with, and the best thing is that Yan Shao is still a native of Qingzhou, which is a very primitive local.
This also makes it impossible for many people to have an excuse for xenophobia, on the contrary, there is no better reason for them to support Yan Shao.
At the same time, Yan Shao has done a lot of good things in Qingzhou over the years, and his performance can be said to be the kind that can be seen by all in Qingzhou, so naturally he will not doubt Yan Shao's ability.
In this case, what reason do they have not to support Yan Shao, but to support others?
And this time, no matter how you look at it, Yan Shaoli is at a loss, but no one is perfect, and there is a loss in such a subsection, which is tolerable to the vast majority of people in this world.
In any case, in any era, soldiers would prefer to talk about gossip to ease the tension before the war, or simply because they were bored, and this is no longer the case.
However, the soldiers seemed to be a little too engrossed in the conversation, and they didn't even notice an officer walking from behind.
The officer also stood behind for a while, and it could even be said that he had been listening to it for a while, and seeing that the chatter of those soldiers was becoming more and more unsightly, he couldn't help but say angrily beside him.
"Are you guys tired of being alive, you dare to talk about the lord behind your back, could it be that you want to be whipped again?!"
The reason why the Qingzhou Army can have such strong combat effectiveness is also very strongly related to strict military discipline. In ancient times, the army basically did not have too good military discipline, which is why the Yue family army has been touted for so many years, because it is really difficult to come up with such an army with good military discipline.
The same is true at present, in order to make the military discipline of the Qingzhou Army better and not to harass the local people, Yan Shao has also made many efforts, one is to improve the treatment of the army, and the other is to strengthen the strictness of military law.
For the soldiers and horses under his command, Yan Shao has never lacked praise, and the rewards are even more, but as long as you make a little mistake, it's okay to fight or something, because Yan Shao feels that being a soldier requires some blood, and it is never a mistake to be brave and ruthless. On the contrary, if you are a good baby, you can't be a qualified soldier.
But everything else is involved, and the warlords are very severe, especially the caning, which has almost become the most common punishment, no matter what kind of crime, it may be involved in caning, even if it is a death penalty.
Maybe there is a death penalty for you. Then you have to applaud the mercy of the officers, because they didn't make you suffer too much, at least if you go down with the knife, you won't know anything, and you won't feel any pain.
But if it is a whipping sentence, then the whipping and whipping will really be done if the person is whipped to death
This is also one of the most tragic punishments, after all, the Qingzhou Army is not the base camp of a cult, and it does not advocate burning at the stake, that is, putting people on the fire and roasting them
Now that they heard the threat of the officers using whipping, the non-commissioned officers who were talking about it closed their mouths one after another, for fear that they would be pulled out by their own generals and rewarded with a few whips. Although they usually like to quarrel very much, but if they are cleaned up because of this, it will be too pitiful.
The sergeant below finally shut up, and the officer nodded with satisfaction, at least, it proves that his authority in the army is still recognized, but
Looking at Liu Beijun on the opposite side, remembering the cause of this battle, the officer couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had thought about the reason why he was involved in the battlefield, but he never thought that one day it would be because of such a reason.
1111111 dividing line 1111111
It stands to reason that when the two armies face each other, they must have a good talk on the battlefield before they begin, even if it is as an opening statement. It's a pity that this time there is no such drama at all. Because neither Yan Shao nor Liu Bei had this interest.
If it is an ordinary war, it will be like this, if not for anything else, even if it is for the legitimacy of sending troops for one's own family. But this time the situation is different, this time Liu Bei sent troops purely to give himself a breath of air, but the problem is that his wife who has not passed through the door has run away from marriage, even if this kind of thing is known to everyone in the world, he must not publicize it himself, because this is quite a man's dignity.
In this way, even the whole audience knew very well what the cause of this conflict was, but no one dared to say it directly, and they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if they didn't know it at all.
