Chapter 293: Troubled times that don't need any kindness—even for animals

Jin Liang tried his best to bury the haze in his heart, his face was as usual, and he stared at the sand table for a while before he instructed the generals: "Since the enemy is outnumbered and the soldiers are tired, then temporarily stay here to prevent the rebels from crossing the river!" ”

Jin Liang also instructed Dong Zhaodao: "Order Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yanbu, and after ordering Gao Shun's department to be broken, Xu Rong and Wei Yanbu will speed up their journey, come to the Fushui camp quickly, and arrive within seven days, there must be no mistakes!" ”

After the meeting, Jin Liang walked out of the camp tent, rode his horse to the shore of Fushui, and looked at the 120,000 family rebels on the opposite bank with a clairvoyant mirror polished by crystal, Jin Liang's face was very calm, and everything seemed to be very calm.

Zhuge Liang, the righteous son who was standing on the side, blinked his eyes wide, and said in a brisk and crisp voice: "Father-in-law, are you worried that Zheng Tai has contacted the family of the whole world and come to a gold-seeking alliance?!" ”

Jin Liang was startled, staring at the nine-year-old Zhuge Liang, this kid was too demonic, and hurriedly said: "Liang'er, don't talk nonsense, there's no such thing!" ”

Zhuge Liang looked around, only the surging water was rolling east, and the central soldiers were all far behind Jin Liang, so he smiled and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, they can't hear it, and the child won't tell other soldiers." ”

Jin Liang stroked Zhuge Liang's little head and said, "Liang'er, tell your father-in-law, how did you guess that Zheng Tai launched the gold alliance?" Maybe it's just those families in Yanzhou who are close to the Zheng family in Xingyang who privately sent troops to attack and disturb Gaoshun's departments. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his little head lightly and said: "Father-in-law, if those Yanzhou families are just friendly with the Xingyang Zheng family, they will not just attack Gao Shun and other departments, but will pour out all the horses and horses and leave Gao Shun all the departments, but in that case, most of the Yanzhou family forces will also be lost."

The reason why they are just attacking is because these Yanzhou families have formed an alliance with the 38 Jizhou families under Zheng Tai, and the fundamental goal of the alliance is you, the father-in-law, so the main battlefield is in Fushui.

The child expected that Zheng Tai must have imagined uniting all the families of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. Defeat the father-in-law in Fushui, as long as the father-in-law is defeated, there is no need to attack the Gaoshun tribes at that time. Naturally, they will collapse without a fight.

The child speculated that Zheng Tai must now be actively contacting the families of Youzhou and Bingzhou, asking them to increase their troops to Handan, as long as the rebels of the families of Youzhou and Bingzhou gather on the north bank of Fushui. It was the day of the Saga Alliance's massive attack. At that time, the families of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places will also dispatch people, and the princes of these states and counties, such as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, will see that their righteous father is in danger, and they will definitely carry out the act of falling into the ground. ”

Jin Liang listened to Zhuge Liang's analysis, and the clouds on his face not only did not deepen. Instead, it dissipated instantly, patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder, and laughed: "Liang'er, at your young age, you have such an accurate analysis, my father-in-law is deeply grateful." You are right, now our Central Army is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation is worrying. Liang'er. What's your best idea?! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Father-in-law, the child thinks that while the rebels of the Youzhou and Bingzhou families have not yet reached Fushui, they should strike first to eliminate the rebels of the 38 Jizhou families and take advantage of the situation to take Handan." It is the best policy to defeat the rebels of the two families in Youzhou and Bingzhou. If you are waiting for reinforcements, you are also waiting for the rebels to grow. When the rebels have gathered people from all over the country to form an army of 300,000 or 400,000, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to solve the problem. ”

Jin Liang nodded and said, "Liang'er's words are very much in line with my wishes. It's just how to eliminate Liu Hui's 120,000 horses? ”

Zhuge Liang's little face wrinkled, and after thinking for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Father-in-law, the child really can't think of how to eliminate Liu Hui's 120,000 horses in one fell swoop, but the child believes that the father-in-law will definitely be able to come up with a good strategy to defeat the enemy." ”

Zhuge Liang walked away to chat with Lu Xun and Lu Meng, Jin Liang rode on the red rabbit horse, stared blankly at the surging water, and thought for a long time, but he was still at a loss.

In the next three days, in the three large battalions on the south bank of Fushui, all the central soldiers were recuperating, and in order for them to have a better rest, Jin Liang simply left the Hongfan battalion in Xiangyang this time, so as not to let the soldiers waste their energy before the war.

At this time in Handan City, Zheng Tai, the leader of the Gold Seeking Alliance, was discussing with the Lord Bo Ruanyu.

Ruan Yu hated Jin Liang for occupying Cai Yan, he was eager for revenge, and when he heard that Liu Hui at the front line was not moving, he went straight to Zheng Tai's mansion to complain.

Zheng Tai smiled lightly, and while listening to Ruan Yu's pain that Liu Hui was cowardly like a tiger, he slowly combed the feathers on a white pigeon.

After Ruan Yu finished complaining, Zheng Tai still didn't say a word, found a note, wrote four words on it, "Wait for the opportunity", tied the note to the white pigeon's leg, and then released the white pigeon.

Zheng Tai stared at the white dove flying farther and farther in the blue sky with a smile on his face, until the shadow of the white dove disappeared, Zheng Tai turned his head and asked Ruan Yu, "Yuan Yu, do you know who this note is sent to?" ”

When Ruan Yu saw Zheng Tai write those eight words, he understood very well in his heart, and he said with a gloomy face: "I don't know why Gong Zheng ordered Liu Hui to wait for the opportunity to wait for the opportunity?" ”

Zheng Tai's face sank, and he stared coldly at Ruan Yu, who didn't know how to be inferior because of anger, and said: "Yuan Yu, don't blind your mind for the jealousy of men and women!" You should know very well that the combat strength of the 150,000 horses of these 38 families in Jizhou is not as good as Jin Liang's central army, and if Liu Hui rashly sends troops to cross the river, he will only be annihilated by Jin Liang's half-crossing. We are now holding our ground in order to wait for the best opportunity to attack, not to be cowardly. ”

"What's the best time to strike?!" Ruan Yu muttered dissatisfied.

Zheng Taiyin smiled ruthlessly and said: "Wait, the Yanzhou family will tie up Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yan's people, and more than 100,000 people from Youzhou and Bingzhou families will come to Handan, and the 300,000 troops of our Jinzhou Alliance will be able to sweep away Jin Liang's men and horses in one fell swoop." ”

Ruan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked suspiciously: "Gong Zheng, didn't you just say that our combat strength is inferior to Jin Liang's Central Army, but that Liu Hui reported that Jin Liang first laid 90,000 horses on the south bank of Fushui, and then 70,000 or 80,000 horses. ”

Zheng Tai smiled and said: "This is all Jin Liang's traitorous bluff, thinking that we can't see through their tricks, in fact, we can calculate that half of the Central Army is still south of the Yellow River, and has not returned to Xiangyang, Jin Liang is now distributed on the south bank of Fushui There are definitely less than 100,000 men and horses, and our 150,000 horses may not be able to reach Jin Liang, but 300,000 horses can win his tired army, and it is within reach." ”

Ruan Yu reflected that his attitude just now was a little disrespectful, looking at the shadow of the pigeon in the blue sky outside the window, and said with a greasy smile on his handsome face: "Zheng Gong is worthy of being the world's Meng Wei, three thousand guests not only rescued Zheng Gong from Xiangyang, but also trained carrier pigeons for Zheng Gong!" ”

Ruan Yu's sycophants made Zheng Tai very comfortable, and he said proudly: "In terms of the ability to recognize people, my Zheng Gong is unparalleled in the world!" ”

Ruan Yu wanted to ask Zheng Tai, since you boast of your ability to recognize people, did you think that Jin Liang would get to the point where he is today, did you think that your younger brother Zheng Hun would actually be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Ruan Yu opened his mouth, and did not dare to confide in the doubts in his heart, because there is no doubt that those questions are slapping Zheng Tai in the face.

Zheng Tai thought carefully about the battle situation again, he was worried that Jin Liang would completely abandon Xingyang County south of the Yellow River and withdraw all the soldiers and horses, if so, the central army would concentrate its forces against him, and it would be difficult for him to resist, so he wrote a note and tied it to another white pigeon, and then released the white pigeon and flew to Yuzhou south of the Yellow River.

Flying pigeon book, this is Zheng Tai can quickly contact nearly a hundred families together to fight against Jin Liang, it is obvious that Jin Liang's central army lacks such pigeon training talents, and is not equipped, relying only on horses to transmit news is still a little slow, so Jin Liang in this war with Zheng Tai, everywhere behind Zheng Tai one step.

Fortunately, the flying pigeon has a fatal flaw, that is, the flying pigeon cannot guarantee its own safety, and it is easy to be shot down by the enemy, which makes the news leak.

On the south bank of Fushui, Jin Liang's army has been resting for two days, and Jin Liang still didn't think of a good way to break the enemy, so he rode a red rabbit horse on the bank of Fushui at a loss. Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Lu Meng, the three righteous sons, each rode a pony and followed behind Jin Liang.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were also thinking about how to quickly break through the rebels on the other side, but Lu Meng had not yet fully opened the door of the wise generals, and looked around in confusion, and suddenly he pointed to a bird flying from the sky and said: "Pigeon, white pigeon!" ”

Jin Liang raised his head and squinted his eyes to see a white dove flying in the blue sky.

Jin Liang didn't think so, the white pigeon is a messenger of peace, how can he bear to be hurt.

Jin Liang suddenly remembered that when he was in Luoyang before, Dong Min in Luoyang City used a carrier pigeon to contact Dong Zhuo, this pigeon flew straight, it looked like it had been trained, maybe it was a carrier pigeon domesticated by some family.

The Legend of the Flying Pigeon:

The Flying Pigeon Biography and the Wild Goose Biography are the same meaning, which is a method of communication between the ancients, tying the letter to the pigeon's feet and then passing it on to the person to be delivered. In ancient times, communication was inconvenient, so clever people took advantage of the advantages of pigeons that could fly and fly relatively fast, and could recognize directions, and domesticated pigeons to improve the speed of sending letters. Generally speaking, the birds themselves will recognize the way home, just like the tired bird returning home, for example, I am friends with the user, of course I live in the same place with my friend, and then I am going to go somewhere else, I will leave the hometown with the pigeon from my hometown, one day I have something to contact a friend, I put the note on the pigeon's feet in a special thing to put the letter, and then release the pigeon, the pigeon will fly to the hometown, the friend will find the pigeon and my letter, the goose is also, they are using the habits of birds.

Pigeons are sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field and are particularly homely, which is an innate strength. But to become a carrier pigeon, it's all about training. The fundamental purpose of raising carrier pigeons is to fly, race and use. In order to obtain the ideal carrier pigeon, in addition to careful breeding and scientific breeding management, the most important thing is training. The three complement each other and are indispensable. The basic principle of training is based on the biological and physiological characteristics of the pigeon and the principle of "conditioning". The fundamental purpose of training is to cultivate, train and improve the quality of the pigeons, and give full play to their inherent biological characteristics and specialties, so as to have the basic elements and conditions to complete various communication and racing tasks. The basic content of training generally includes: basic training, flying training, racing training, adaptation training and application training. In principle, the training should start from the youngsters, from simple to complex, from near to far, from day to night, from basic training to professional training, in short, from easy to difficult. The following is a detailed description of the basic content of the training.

Around 3000 B.C., the ancient Egyptians began to use pigeons to deliver letters. China is also an ancient country of pigeon, has a long history, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, in Guangzhou and other places in the south of our country, has begun to use pigeons to transmit letters.

A variety of training

The aim is to develop homing pigeons that are obedient to their breeders and have a strong homing habitation. The content includes: drinking water, affinity, familiarity with the nest, familiarization with signals and other training.

The youngsters have just come out of the shell, so it is not harmful to go without food for a day or two, but there should be no shortage of water. At first, they don't know that there is water in the drinker, so be sure to teach them where to drink from. The method is to gently hold the pigeon with one hand so that its beak touches the surface of the drinker, and when it is thirsty, it will naturally gulp water. This is done one by one until all the youngsters have drunk the water, and this is repeated several times, and soon they are able to stand next to the drinker and stick their heads in to drink.

Origin of the name

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" once recorded that there were 3 blue birds around the Queen Mother of the West, who could fly over thousands of mountains and rivers to transmit information and convey the sound of happiness, auspiciousness and happiness to the world. It is said that the Queen Mother of the West once wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, that is, she sent the blue bird to deliver the letter to the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Later, according to such legends, the folk used the bird of the wild goose to pass on the book, which was a way for the ancients to communicate with each other. Later, it evolved into the Flying Pigeon Biography. 》

Thinking of this, Jin Liang quickly took off the overlord bow from his back, opened his bow and arrows, and shot it into the air, the white pigeon fluttered and fell, Lu Meng rushed over, picked up the fallen white pigeon and said, "Hey, this pigeon has a note tied to its leg!" ”

Jin Liang took the note and looked at it and said: "Contact the Yanzhou family in Yuzhou to attack Xingyang County together and block the return of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Father-in-law, this is clearly an order issued by Zheng Tai to his subordinates scattered in various states and counties, we expected it right, Zheng Tai just wants to encourage the world's families to jointly deal with our central army." ”

Lu Xun also said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, we can't hesitate any longer, we must quickly send troops to defeat the rebels on the other side, as long as Zheng Tai is destroyed, the rebels of other families will be afraid and dare not make waves again." ”

Jin Liang spread his hands helplessly and said, "Father-in-law, I haven't thought of a good way to break the enemy, have you two ever thought of it?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Father-in-law, the child thinks that in response to the current situation, I am afraid that a simple strategy will not work, and it may be necessary to mix multiple strategies to use together in order to quickly defeat the enemy." ”

Lu Xun sneered on the side: "Brother Liang, you only thought about this for a long time, who doesn't know this." ”

Jin Liang waved his hand and said, "Xun'er, why don't you say it when you think about it, my father-in-law, I can't think of mixing multiple strategies together." ”

Lu Xunru Fu Fan's little face showed a touch of shame and said: "The child just thought of a simple strategy that couldn't work, but he couldn't think of what kind of strategy to use and what kind of strategy to succeed." ”

Jin Liang laughed and said: "Xun'er, you are only seven years old, it is very rare to think of this layer at such a young age, don't be too yourself." This time, my father-in-law took you out to see what the real war looks like, and then you followed Mr. Shui Jing and Mr. Hu Kongming to practice the art of war and tactics in order to learn and use them, as for what strategies to use, you don't need these little brains to think about it, Feng Xiao and Wen He should have already figured it out. ”

Lu Meng smiled narrowly and said: "Ah Liang, Ah Xun, you don't need to think all day long, how old are you, you haven't read much, you don't know how to learn, you are only shallow, what kind of advanced strategies can you come up with, or go back to the school to learn from Mr. Shui Jing and Mr. Hu Zhao for a few more years." ”

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun made a grimace at Lu Meng together and said, "Ameng, you pick up the book and doze off." And the face to say about us?! ”

Jin Liang has been busy with military affairs recently, and he has no time to check the studies of his three righteous sons and listen to their voices. Lu Meng is still so ignorant and difficult to learn now, it seems that it is necessary to urge him.

Jin Liang pointed at the low-ranking officers who were struggling to lead the soldiers to repair the camp and said, "Meng'er, if you don't study the art of war well. In the future, at most you will be a captain with one or two hundred soldiers, if you study the art of war well and be good at using soldiers, you can be a general commanding thousands of troops in the future, which one do you want to be? ! ”

Lu Meng said without thinking: "Of course, he is a general who commands thousands of troops." ”

Jin Liang shook his head lightly and said, "If you pick up the book now and doze off, if you don't listen to the professors of the two gentlemen, it will be difficult to become a great general, let alone become a great general." Father-in-law sees that if you go on like this, you will be a puppet at most, and at most you will be a captain. ”

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun both looked at Lu Meng with a sneering face, although Lu Meng was playful and not studious, he had a strong sense of self-esteem, and was ridiculed by two children younger than him, he couldn't hold it on his face, and was looked down upon by his most respected father-in-law. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he blushed, frowned on his forehead and said, "Father-in-law, Amon will definitely study the military book well in the future and study well with the two gentlemen." Never let down the love of your father-in-law. ”

Jin Liang didn't believe the child's promise, and smiled lightly, he felt that in the future, he would still give Lu Meng more opportunities to come out and see, so that he realized that if he didn't learn the art of war and war strategy, he would consciously and automatically study, just like letting future generations of college students come out to work part-time when they were in school, they will also realize that it is difficult to find a good job without learning a certain amount of knowledge.

Jin Liang glanced at the rebels on the other side, he no longer wavered, these 120,000 horses must be destroyed, Handan must be taken as soon as possible, otherwise he will be too passive.

After Jin Liang returned to the Chinese military tent, he sent people to recruit Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Wei Yue and other close generals.

Jin Liang did not recruit other generals, he knew very well how chilling the meaning behind this note was, in case it spread, I am afraid that the army's morale would be unstable immediately, although Jin Liang was very popular with the army, but he did not dare to guarantee that these people and horses could still be 100% loyal to him Jin Liang when they were surrounded by families all over the world, he didn't want to gamble with this, so be cautious.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others arrived, Jin Liang passed the note to them, and the others were taken aback when they read it, only Guo Jia and Jia Xu were very calm.

Jin Liang thought that Guo Jia and Jia Xu had a good plan, so he asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, Wenhe, why are you so calm, have you already thought of a strategy to break Zheng Tai's scheme?" ”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled: "The reason why my subordinates are calm is because we have received more information than this note in the past two days, and according to this information, we have formulated some countermeasures, and we want to report them to the lord, but we haven't told the lord yet, and the lord has already sent someone to let us come over to discuss the matter." ”

"Intelligence, you have more information?!" Jin Liang hurriedly said, "Submit it!" ”

Guo Jia took out a large pile of notes and handed them to Jin Liang to look through.

Jin Liang took a closer look, and the situation shown in these pieces of information was roughly the same as he expected, or even worse. (To be continued.) )
