Chapter 15 is desolate all the way
The wind is Xiao Xiao and the water is cold, originally Liu Zhang thought that when his team went out, at least there should be a little bit of majestic and sad feeling, you must know that it is a troubled world outside? Who knew that this group of people, whether it was a marching merchant or an army, had a sense of majesty? Wang Chen didn't know how important it was to the ancients, and glory and glory were simply the greatest pursuit of the ancients. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The effect of the training during this period of time during the march can be seen, the discipline of the army is obviously much better, and the whole march is neat and tidy, if it were not for those merchants talking, there would definitely be only footsteps along the way. Liu Zhang originally wanted to show off his knowledge of horseshoes when he first marched, but unfortunately......
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were already horse iron hooves, but unfortunately because of the scarcity of iron tools, the effect of bronze is not good, few war horses will have horse iron hooves, you must know that many soldiers' weapons are just wooden sticks and some bronze spearheads. What's more, the cavalry has not completely risen at present, and only the Xiliang army has a little cavalry, and after the Xiliang army is destroyed, only Cao Cao in the north has some cavalry.
As for Liu Bei? Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and even Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu were just some foot soldiers. The power of the cavalry has not been shown at all at present, on the one hand, the scale of the war is not as large as that of later generations, and hundreds of thousands of troops are moved on the side, and you don't see Liu Bei leading thousands of men and horses to be qualified to become a hero at the end of the Han Dynasty?
The power of cavalry really rose and became invincible in the Yuan Dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty. Constrained by environmental factors, the cavalry in the Central Plains has always been an awkward situation. As for Liu Zhang, he is not ready to vigorously develop cavalry, only a little more than 1,000 horses are enough, and Liu Zhang still decided to focus on foot soldiers in the situation of the war, and try to kill and abuse as little as possible......
Following Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang rode a horse and walked in front of the team. Everyone else is in armor, but Liu Zhang is dressed in cloth. Shu brocade feels good to the touch and is silky. But after a long time of close friction, this thing is not inferior to sackcloth at all, and the hot feeling is very unpleasant. Fortunately, Wang Chen replaced this saddle with a thick pad of linen, and by the way, he got the stirrups out......
I really don't know what these ancient people thought? The horses have iron hooves, why don't there be stirrups? The murals unearthed at the end of the Han Dynasty already have animations of blacksmiths making iron hooves on horses, but stirrups do not. Riding a horse and walking in front of the team, Liu Zhang was unspeakably domineering, and now his brother is also the leading brother......
Along the way, Liu Zhang didn't see a single person. The wind and sand are gusting on the road, and the sun is shining. On both sides of the road are patches of wilderness, not even fertile fields. It's too far from town, so there are too many animals to grow and there is no way to irrigate. Basically, only the land near the castle can be planted. Compared to the later generations, there were no wild animals near the village for kilometers, and it was too unsafe here.
At this moment, Liu Zhang really understood that it was not that there was not enough land, but that life was too difficult, so difficult that he couldn't eat enough, let alone develop any science? In this environment, hundreds of schools of thought were born, Liu Zhang really admired. What are troubled times? Liu Zhang has seen most of them uninhabited for thousands of miles, and there are white bones on the side of the road. But when I saw the words, I didn't feel much touch, and when I really walked here, I could imagine the desolation in my heart......
"Zhang Ren, obviously you don't need so many wars......" Liu Zhang looked at it and walked for most of the day without seeing a single person, how messy his heart was. In later generations, Liu Zhang would complain that he could only be at home during the holidays, just because there were people everywhere. But when it really comes to the situation of thousands of miles away, Liu Zhang will miss the past again. People are hypocritical, always complaining about the present and nostalgic for the past......
"Lord, it's been a little better in the past few years. When the Yellow Turban was in turmoil before, it was the real people's livelihood at that time. The world has been in turmoil for too long, and his subordinates are willing to help the lord to fairly mess up the world...... "Zhang Ren has experienced troubled times, and he has seen the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the beginning. At that time, he was just a lieutenant colonel in a soldier, and he followed Liu Yan to the north and south.
Zhang Ren didn't know what Liu Zhang thought, and it was impossible for him to know. At this time, Liu Zhang never had a dislike for the gentle rule of Confucianism. Speaking of which, people in modern times envy Confucianism in ancient times, and people at that time were really gentlemen. The spiritual civilization that Confucianism has brought to the people of the country is immeasurable, but it is a pity that the rule of the people of the world is extremely bad. Although compared to the Western era, the East is already considered heaven and earth, but Liu Zhang still feels confused about the current situation......
It is undeniable that Confucianism has brought about merits, and it is also undeniable that Confucianism has brought disasters to the world. When something begins to develop uncontrollably, the consequences of going astray are extremely serious. I'm afraid that the great sages of Confucius didn't expect Confucianism to have such a situation?
Liu Zhang wanted to know that when Confucius knew that the descendants of later generations would use his theories to humiliate the descendants of later generations for hundreds of years! How would he feel? Sage? Please tell me? If it was possible, Liu Zhang really wanted to let the great sage of Confucius see how this Confucianism, which had been used to the extreme, imprisoned the world......
It's a pity that Liu Zhang doesn't have this ability, and it is impossible to question Kong Dasheng. What can I probably do? Live your own life. The attribute of the Holy Mother's, Liu Zhang used to like to complain about others, what kind of great sage is pretending? Do you really think you're a saint when you're a virgin? At this moment, Liu Zhang can't wait to complain about himself? Your life may not be stable, so you want to be a saint?
After complaining, the saint is estimated to be unable to be a puller, but how much can he still be a person who contributes to society? For example, so many pity beauties in later generations? In order not to let so many people complain about what happened to these beauties, ahem, Liu Zhang felt that he was reluctant to receive himself......
If these beauties are not as beautiful as the legend, Liu Zhang must leave a message in his tomb, and later generations mistook me and robbed a certain woman angrily, and the result was an ugly monster? And then post yourself to leave a complaint for future generations? It doesn't seem impossible?
Unconsciously, Liu Zhang fell into his own world, and the big bull and Xiao Liu on the side were used to losing themselves at every turn, but Zhang Ren felt a little indescribable. The road ahead was smooth sailing, the sun was setting and it had reached Ba County, and Yan Yan Taishou on the city wall was already above the city gate......
"Lord, Ba Jun has arrived, and Yan Yan Taishou is already at the door." Zhang Ren hurriedly reminded Liu Zhang, who was in a daze, that the lord would really enjoy it, and he was very careful along the way, and the lord would be in a daze for a while.
"Huh?" Liu Zhang quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, and immediately said: "Let's go, go into the city......" entered Ba County, which is obviously inferior to Shu County. There are also many fewer people on the streets, and the construction of houses is also very low, so it can be said that the place is very poor.
"My lord has a day off today, and tomorrow he is leaving? Is 500 elite soldiers too little? Yan Yan has been very distressed recently, his Ba County is already poor, but who knows that after Liu Zhang's actions in Shu County, many young people here have gone to Shu County to get a job. Ba County, which was not lively in the first place, is even more desolate at this moment......
Liu Zhang looked at Yan Yan and couldn't help but ask, "Rest today, and set off tomorrow." Five hundred men are enough, and we are not going out to fight. And Yan Yan is too guarded, why are you not there anyone here? "Twenty-eight or nine-year-old Yan Yan is young and strong at the moment, and he looks quite weak. Speaking of which, this Yan Yan is definitely a diehard loyalist of Yizhou, and when the city was broken, he said that he was unwilling to surrender to Liu Bei, and then he was clicked. Of course, Liu Zhang doesn't know that these people are not outstanding in the history of the Three Kingdoms for personal reasons, but this definitely does not mean that they are not talents......
Yan Yan's words made it very easy for Liu Zhang to judge whether this person could use it, and the ancients often made it easy to judge whether the whole person could use it. They value fame and credibility to the point of being unreasonable, and Liu Zhang owes this to the Confucian teachings. After Yan Yan's words, Liu Zhang just nodded and said that he knew, but in fact, he already had his own little Jiujiu on the psychological side......
These words darkened Yan Yan's face: "Back to the lord, Shu County is in ruins, and many people here go to Shu County to find a job." Ba County has cooperated with the lord's decree here, and all the displaced people in the past will basically go to Song Daoshu County...... "As early as half a month ago, the people here have already received the decree.
Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Yizhou is already rich, but I am short of people in Yizhou." This time, I went to try to recruit more homeless people and make a difference for the future. Yan Yan is still young and needs to train a group of elite soldiers for me in the future! Liu Zhang pointed directly at Yan Yan and said.
"A certain person must do his best for the lord...... "Who doesn't have a big heart?" Who doesn't have a vision for the future? Especially some loyal subordinates. Didn't they choose those who looked down on them just so that they could do something in the future? Yan Yan is already old, and it can be said that he is on par with Huang Zhong at this moment. Huang Zhong still has some thoughts, let alone Yan Yan? It's a pity that he never got Liu Zhang's reuse until he died, but now he has been seen by Liu Zhang. Do you still want to defend the city comfortably in the future? It's basically impossible......
Liu Zhang really doesn't remember many talents, and under normal circumstances, looking at the other party, Liu Zhang will consider employing them. As for whether it will be betrayed? Liu Zhang really won't think about these questions, after all, he knows that in addition to some die-hard loyalists and women who are carried away by love, betrayal is everywhere. It's just that the stakes for betrayal are not big enough, and the generation value is not worth it. Therefore, Liu Zhang can't trust a person like Liu Bei at all, but Liu Zhang can also do it without discrimination.
