Chapter 259: Horse Robbery
Han Fei is not a person who writes books alone, although he is ambitious, his natural laziness makes him impatient to do those trivial things in person, and he is really too busy to do it alone. Anyway, there is a frustrated hu beside him who has been sent by Frustration to practice, it doesn't have to be in vain, it can play a role in training, if Han Fei doesn't effectively use this high-quality resource, he really won't be Han Fei.
No, Han Fei came over again, called it "increase experience", and handed over to him all the battle examples that needed to be sorted out, using his human resources to make up for his lack of energy, and by the way, he could enter the state of seeking a general as soon as possible.
Han Fei shamelessly "squeezed" the value of Frustrated Hu's labor, and accepted Frustrated Hong's thanks with peace of mind.
How could it not be grateful?
These days, Fu Hu only felt that his knowledge had increased several times, and his knowledge had also increased significantly, and all of this depended on Han Fei's novel compilation of military books.
Ancient books, pay attention to conciseness, what exactly does it mean, one person has one opinion, this is a hundred people read the Red Mansion, a hundred different Red Mansions in general, read the same military book, some people become famous generals, and some people can only talk about the war on paper, or even do not know what to say.
But once Han Fei's "invented" method is used to compile the military book, the essence of it is extracted one by one, and then the best and even easy-to-understand explanations are attached, making the tactics and strategies more flexible.
Therefore. For this errand, I am very attentive.
Liu Bang, Xiang Yu fought for hegemony, the battle of Xiaxia, and the pursuit of Xialong...... Major battles, which lasted several years. The big battles were separated by small-scale battles, and there were dozens of rooms of information collected, and in order to compile this military book, Han Fei was faced with dozens of rooms and dozens of tons of bamboo slips, which could be said to be a headache. In this way, Han Fei pulled a hundred people to participate in the sorting. These materials also cost Han Fei a lot of energy.
Originally, Han Fei wanted to get the paper out, if there was paper. Dozens of bamboo slips can be easily installed in just one room, and it is not so laborious to find them. However, he has never had a stable nest of his own. This paper-making thing. can only push back indefinitely, unless, taking Taiyuan, it has to be stable.
This time I went to Taiyuan, and the information I brought with me was only one room.
In the quiet data room, Han Fei was tired and sat on the futon on the ground without any image. Holding the paper in his hand to record the war materials, he gasped for breath. He muttered, "Fuck, write a book." It's really not a human job, it's better to fight the world! ”
This is true, if he had a choice, he would rather fight with Lu Bu again than write this Laoshzi book. However, this is clearly unrealistic, and-
Writing books is also to make it easier to fight the world.
……
The sun bakes the land of Taiyuan County like a furnace. A few days ago, there was a heavy rain, there was a lot of water in the low-lying places next to the road, but under the raging sun, the rain quickly dried, and the ground after the water was wet and muddy, and then under the scorching sun, it cracked and rolled up pieces of bara-sized clay, just to see the dolls running around with bare feet in it, peeling up the clay piece by piece, when the tiles were stacked up for home.
The weather is too hot, except for these enthusiastic children, everyone else is lazy and can't lift their spirits, unless they have to go to the field to be busy with unfinished farm work, otherwise they are all in the shade in front of the house to avoid the heat, there are few pedestrians on the road in the autumn wind There are not many branches and leaves left in the big willow tree in this ghost weather is also listless in this ghost weather, only the branches with few leaves are hanging lifelessly, only the remnants hidden in the bushes know the endless voice, and the people who call are drowsy.
Autumn tigers are not inferior to dog days.
Although the war continues, but as a county and even a state of governance, Jinyang seems to be much more peaceful, the people of Jinyang seem to have forgotten the disasters that happened in the land of Jizhou, enjoying a rare peace. I have to say that since Zhang Yang got Taiyuan, Pei Liang has presided over the political affairs of Taiyuan, and he has been encompassing and luring, at least the Jinyang area has been cleared for hundreds of miles, and the people are satisfied. He also opened a school, loved the people and raised scholars, and calmly protected himself. For the management of the territory is also hard work, orderly, a lot of contributions, reflecting the true character of a generation of capable ministers, the governance of Jinyang is impressive, before the "human feelings are disturbed, and the Quartet is shocked, the thieves fan, everywhere boiling" and Jinyang, has become a rare piece of paradise in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It's just that it's just a Jinyang......
Pei Liang, Pei Xi's brother, the two of them are one scholar and one martial artist, and after Fang Yue died in the Tiger Prison, they became Zhang Yang's dependence, and the Pei family was dominant.
Pei Liang is talented, but not very high.
However, under Zhang Yang's command, it is already very rare.
The old farmer, who was busy with the last farm work in the field, leaned over with his hands and a piece of rope in his hand, and walked slowly down the street, dragging a scrawny old cow with a little doll combing and braiding on the spine of the cow, and the little doll was playing with his grandfather's hat happily. Farther away, outside the city, a group of wild geese returning south had half disappeared from the end of the world.
This situation and this scene are picturesque.
It's a pity, it's a pity that such an idyllic scenery can't last long, the Hun army has entered the pass, it is very likely, the happy land, turned into a scorched earth overnight, the happy people, the survivors, and geometry? Looking at the peace in front of him, Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but sigh again and again in his heart.
"General Pei, I see that you have a lot on your mind, but what is on your mind?" Seeing that Pei Yuanshao, who was accustomed to fighting, had a sad face at the moment, frowned tightly, and asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's nothing...... Pei Yuanshao replied vaguely, and asked instead: "Ziyi, I don't know what the lord called me, what happened?" ”
"But it's a troublesome matter," thinking that Pei Yuanshao was worried about this, he put down his worries and said in a calm voice: "General Pei, you are well-informed, so naturally you should also know that the so-called southern ships and northern horses, the south has not produced war horses since ancient times. ”
"Yes. This Pei naturally knows that there is only one kind of pony produced in Yizhou in the south, and his foot strength is good. But it can only be used to carry things, and it cannot be used on the battlefield. Therefore, the war horses needed in the south can only be imported from the north and Liangzhou, and in recent years, because the Huns rarely sold horses, Liaodong had the control of Gongsun Zhan, and there were many wars in the Central Plains. There were many dangers, and it became more difficult for the horses to be transported to the south, which also made the southern army. There are not many cavalry in formation, and according to my knowledge of the south, there are only about 1,800 at most. For no reason, why did Ziyi mention war horses? Isn't it. The Lord is looking for me. What is it for? ”
Regarding the lack of war horses in the south, Pei Yuanshao, who had accompanied the Yellow Turban Army in the southern and northern wars, naturally knew about it. It is also clear that in ancient times, horses were indispensable combatants in warfare. The so-called 'soldiers are strong and horses are strong', 'grain and grass go first', 'generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses', and 'immediately win the world', all of which are the truth.
At the same time, Han Fei is also clear.
During the Three Kingdoms, there was even more 'Lu Bu among the people. There are red rabbits among the horses. 'It is said that a famous horse. It can be compared with a generation of fierce generals. There are no horses in the South. In the movie "Break", the teacher talked about the "function of the horse's tail" in class, and was protested by students in the south: We haven't even seen what a horse looks like, what do you keep talking about its tail? Not only horses, but also donkeys are rare. The good deed brought a donkey into Guizhou, and it also caused a commotion among the local tigers, thinking that a monster was coming. Zhuge Liang conquered Meng in the south, but people couldn't find horses, so they had to drive buffalo and elephants to the battlefield to fill up, how could they not be defeated? The north produces horses, and they are also accustomed to working on horses, so they fight back and forth, with the Mongol cavalry being the most powerful, and their iron hooves ravage the Eurasian continent. In the past, there were no tanks, and the role of the cavalry was like a tank group charge, how could the infantry block it? Napoleon and Hitler could not defeat a strong nation like Russia, but they were defeated by the Mongol army.
"It's the war horse. A few days ago, I heard General Pei say that galloping on the battlefield and being invincible in cavalry is an indispensable combat force. A few days ago, the lord received a report from the secret agent, saying that Liu Biao of Jingzhou could get some war horses from Liaodong, the prairie, and Liangzhou through some secret means, so as to replace the old and weak in the cavalry. I heard the lord say that Liu Biao got a batch of war horses from the Huns this time, the number is around three hundred, these three hundred war horses, although they are not called BMW horses, but they are also the best horses, each of them, can be used as the general's favorite horse! It's just that he was robbed when he entered Jinyang, and now the news is afraid that it has spread and merged with the state. The lord is now anxious about this matter, so he asked General Pei to come over and talk about it. Zhuo Yang nodded and said.
"Three hundred horses? All the best horses? Pei Yuanshao's eyebrows furrowed into a pimple, and he muttered: "No wonder the lord is so anxious, the war horses on the grassland are the best among today's war horses, not to mention the essence of them...... Three hundred, in the Taiping years, may not be nothing, but for Jingzhou, which is now short of horses, it is not a small number. What's more, he is the leader among the grassland horses, I'm afraid that when the news reaches Xiangyang, Liu Biao will also scold his mother for it! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! The lord is very interested in this batch of war horses, although our army has a lot of war horses, but most of them are just ordinary war horses on the grassland, although they are better than the war horses in the Central Plains, but they are not as rare as these three hundred war horses, it can be said that the value of three hundred war horses is not inferior to the value of ordinary three thousand grassland war horses...... By the way, General Pei, tell me, this war horse was robbed, is it possible that those people in Jinyang did it? Frustrated Hu asked suddenly.
"Jinyang?" Pei Yuanshao raised his eyebrows, thought carefully about the memory of Pei Liang in his mind, and asked for a while, "Pei Liang?" ”
"That's right, the forces in the four places should have the greatest chance of doing it. Today's Zhang Yan is anxious, and she has no time to take care of herself, even if she has the heart, she is powerless, so she should be excluded! Moreover, there are not a few soldiers responsible for transporting these war horses, there are two tuns and two hundred people, ordinary thieves, I am afraid that they do not have such strength. Frustrated Hu analyzed with a serious face.
"Impossible, with the strength of Pei Liang and even Zhang Yang and the current situation of the two sides, their seizure of the horse will only be above board, not like this, just leaving a doubtful case. What's more, Jingzhou is thousands of miles away, even if Zhang Yang instructed Pei Liang and them to do it, and Liu Biao knew about it, Liu Biao was beyond the reach of the whip...... By the way, Ziyi, did the lord say where he heard this news? ”
"Oh, it was a soldier who got away with it. It was obtained by our army's spies. As General Pei guessed, these people who robbed the horses were dressed in a variety of clothes. At first glance, it looks like a thief who robbed a house, and there were 500 people. However, according to the soldier who had fled, these five hundred men were apparently trained soldiers, and only for a moment. The 200 or so men who were in charge of transporting the horses were all killed, and they were dressed like this. Obviously, there is a desire to cover up. He also escaped by pretending to be dead...... By the way, he once said that after these five hundred people robbed the war horses, they fled in the direction of Jinyang City. General Pei, that's it. Isn't it Jinyang's doing? Frustrated Hu asked with a puzzled face.
"Boy. You're still young! This is the only way to cover up and to set up trouble. I'm afraid that the soldier was able to live, and these people deliberately did it to confuse the public...... When I arrived, I will see the lord first! ”
……
"Pei Yuanshao, I've seen the lord!"
"Oh, it's General Pei here. No need to be polite, just sit down. "I can see it. Pei Yuanshao's arrival made Han Fei very happy, and the frowning brows that were still frowning before were also relieved by seeing Pei Yuanshao.
It's no wonder that Han Fei doesn't say that it's almost the same as his eyes are dark, but Pei Yuanshao is different, he is the head snake of the land, the big and small things in the state, the distribution of forces, where there are thieves, how many military horses are in each city and county, and some of the wind and grass, he can know some of them.
"Thank you, lord!" Pei Yuanshao thanked him, sat down at his side, and asked without gossiping, "I still don't know what happened to the Lord Minister Ziyi looking for the future?" ”
"What's the matter, Ziyi didn't say anything to Tong Yuanshao on the road?" Han Fei was a little surprised.
Frustrated Hu is different from his Lao Tzu's frustration, frustrated and calm, with the wind of an elder, while Frustrated Hu is very active and not quiet, so to speak, he can have a body of knowledge, which is completely forced out by frustration, otherwise, with his temperament, it is strange to be able to read seriously. Frustrated Hu likes to practice martial arts, and since following Han Fei, he has asked Han Fei for advice, in addition, Frustrated Hu is a little broken-mouthed, and in general, he can't hide it at all.
"I mentioned it, but I was afraid that the lord would be in a hurry, so I didn't dare to delay on the road, but I only knew a rough idea. It seems that Liu Biao's war horse was robbed by someone...... Lord, what are the eyebrows? Pei Yuanshao remained silent and asked in a harmonious voice.
Han Fei nodded, Pei Yuanshao's steadiness, he was very satisfied, these days, Pei Yuanshao's ability can be said to be in his eyes and in his heart. How so...... This Pei Yuanshao, although he is not too talented, but he is very average, except for the poor literary talent, the rest, you can put him anywhere.
Belongs to the kind of people who are good at everything but not good at everything.
Martial arts are not the highest, and literary talent is not the highest...... However, as a deputy general, it is a rare talent.
"To put it simply, this robbed war horse, General Ben wants it!" Han Fei is very simple, if he wants it, he doesn't think he has many cavalry, let alone a good horse! After a pause, Han Fei calmed down his tone and said, "As for the eyebrows...... Let's put it this way, the secret agent only sent back such a news, according to the soldier, they were robbed three hundred miles away from the north of Jinyang City, the dress of the thief, the quality of the soldiers, and after succeeding, they went to the direction of Jinyang City. Yuan Shao, you are much more familiar with this area, Ben will have a dark eye, you try to help me analyze it. ”
Pei Yuanshao lowered his head and pondered, Han Fei didn't bother him, and after a long time, Pei Yuanshao raised his head, asked before he said, and said, "Did the lord suspect Zhang Yang?" ”
"The general did have this guess, but I always felt that Zhang Yang didn't have this need." Han Fei nodded.
"Lord, according to the last general, the person who robbed the horse should not be Zhang Yang who instructed Jinyang." Pei Yuanshao's words were chiseled.
"Oh? Why? Yuan Shao, but let it be clear! ”
"Lord, Zhang Yang once had an order to ban war horses from going out of the customs (Huguan, Keiguan), Liu Biao made people smuggle war horses, even if they were detained by Zhang Yang, Liu Biao had nothing to say, so if Zhang Yang made people do it, it can be above board, logical, and there is no need to hide it at all, obviously, this is to confuse people, divert people's attention, and even, blame others!"
"Liu Biao has a lot to do with Yuan Shao, and Zhang Yang secretly voted for Yuan Shao, maybe he took Yuan Shao into account, maybe he didn't know." Han Fei groaned and said.
"Lord, how could this group of people make such a low-level mistake by deliberately concealing their identities and pretending to be thieves? As the last general expected, the reason why the soldier survived is probably also intentional by this group of people, in order to make this soldier bring out such a news and turn people's attention to Jinyang and even Zhang Yang. It's just that this group of people shouldn't be, they shouldn't be dressed as thieves, if they are wearing Zhang Yangjun's clothes, I'm afraid, they will really let them succeed! Pei Yuanshao calmly analyzed.
"Listening to what Yuan Shao said, I'm afraid it's really like this! It's a pity that Ben will analyze it for a long time, but there is no result. Han Fei's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Pei Yuanshao with hope, and asked, "Yuanshao, if you guess, who will do this war horse when it is robbed?" ”
"The lord is humble, speaking of which, the reason why the last general can judge so quickly is also because he did this when he was a thief before, so he is not a stranger, otherwise, how can the last general be as good as the lord? As for who robbed the war horse......" (to be continued......)
