Three Kingdoms

Life is always full of all kinds of reunions, all kinds of partings, sorrows and joys. It’s like reading a pirated novel. From time to time, one or two small yellow push windows will pop up, and then you will be caught by the leaders and teachers around you. Or maybe the future mother-in-law, my girlfriend saw it...

It doesn't matter. What if a small pop-up window pops up on a pirated website and it's a picture from a gay friend website? The information of later generations is better than that of the Han Dynasty. Maybe it will spread throughout the world tomorrow, and the person who sees the pirated version is a good gay friend...

Ahem.

Now Fei Qian feels a bit like reading a pirated novel at work, and the leader just walked up behind him, and then a small activity window popped up. His brain was a little slow, the amount of information was too much, and he couldn't react at once...

Although Xu Shu, Zao Zhi and Tai Shiming had already called Fei Qian their lord, Fei Qian still felt as if he was in a dream, feeling dizzy and not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

In fact, it was Fei Qian who suddenly and unexpectedly encountered Uncle Fu, and he was a little worried about the consequences. In addition, Xu Shu and the others were instigated by Pang Tong to hold back, so Fei Qian was not able to notice it.

Strictly speaking, if Xu Shu and the others were to choose personnel now, Fei Qian would really be the one who boasted the most, and it seemed that the others were shorter. Thesis, Fei Qian was a disciple of two major literary leaders in the north and the south, Lun Wu, holding a hand in his hand. There are only elite cavalry across the north. Although the territory is not too large, there is almost no obstacle to their development.

If there was still some hesitation between the local Liu Biao and the remote northern Bingzhou Bingzhou, then Sun Jian's incident was basically a reassurance for these people.

A leader who can win battles and knows how to win battles may not be a good leader in the future, but a lord who cannot win consecutive battles will almost certainly not be a good lord.

Liu Biao seemed to be well-groomed and personable, and his eloquence was as eloquent as anyone else in the world. However, this time it was revealed that he was not very proficient in military affairs. His lack of understanding of military affairs was inevitably a huge hidden danger in this turbulent time.

Yuan Shu didn't even need to think about it. Even if Yuan Shu stopped putting on a proud air, it would still be difficult. First of all, the relationship with Liu Biao was very problematic, and Xu Shu and others were already labeled as Jingxiang nobles. It would have been fine in the past before the war started, but now that they have turned against each other, they would inevitably fail to please them inside and outside if they defected to them in the past.

Yuan Shao has already matured. Although he and others are descendants of the noble clan, only Zao Zhi is relatively good. Xu Shu and Tai Shiming can only be regarded as a poor family. They will definitely not pay much attention to Yuan Shao, and they may be assigned Even if Xu Shu and others could accept the matter of being a scribe, but where would it put the face of Duke Pang De of Jingxiang?

Oh, after working on it for a long time, under Lu Mountain, the only person whom Mr. Pang De taught was a scholar?

Fei Qian didn't think about it in detail. He just felt that he felt a lot more relaxed now that he had a few people he could rest assured around.

On the side, the servants of the Pang family were busy, placing some of the wine and food they had brought, and a few people sat together. Fei Qian also ordered the soldiers to repair themselves.

For Fei Qian, it was joy, but for Pang Tong, it was separation. The wooden house under Lushan Mountain was originally full of people, but now Pang Tong was left alone, although he was indeed exempted. Xu Shu's ears are filled with the magic sound every night, but he still feels a little reluctant to let go...

Fei Qian could see it and understand it, so he deliberately asked: "Little Dumb Bird, I really have to leave now. I know you are smart. Can you help me tell me, what should I do next?"

After all, Pang Tong still has some teenage habits. Hearing this, he immediately put aside his slight sadness, coughed twice, raised his head pretending to be dissatisfied, and said, "Huh? Is this the attitude of asking others for advice?"

"Little silly bird! Have you thought about it, are you going to say it or not?" Fei Qian didn't accept this at all and just bared his teeth.

Pang Tong blinked, snorted, and said, "You are ready, and you still want to ask me?"

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, a little disbelieving, and said, "How did you see that?"

Pang Tong pointed to the Bingzhou cavalry on the outside and said, "Isn't this obvious? Not only I can see it, but Yuan Zhi can also see it."

Zao Zhi felt a little bit shocked and said doubtfully: "What did you see?"

Tai Shiming obviously didn't know why, but since he was younger, he was too embarrassed to ask, so he had to act like a good boy.

Fei Qian did not explain for the time being, but asked: "What do Shi Yuan and Yuan Zhi think of this move's chances of winning?"

Pang Tong rolled his eyelids and said nothing, but Xu Shu took over and said: "If you calculate mentally but not intentionally, there is some chance of winning, but...the difference in numbers is too big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to decide in one fell swoop."

Fei Qian nodded silently.

In fact, this strategy has been under consideration and has not yet been finalized, so it has not been discussed yet. Unexpectedly, it was revealed by two "yuan" here.

"The Eight Paths of Taihang!" Now that Pang Tong had started talking, he stopped hiding it and continued, "There must be a chance to control it. Once the Eight Paths are sealed, Jizhou and Youzhou will not be turned upside down. It doesn’t affect you at all.”

To the east of Taiyuan is the Taihang Mountains. In the Taihang Mountains running through the north and south, there have been only eight valley trails since ancient times. They are called the Taihang Eight Trails, which are important passages between Bingzhou and Jizhou. Whoever controls the Taihang Eight Trails is equal to Whether to take the initiative on the battlefield, to attack or to defend, it is all in your hands, and you can make a choice at any time according to the situation.

Fei Qian nodded silently. Although taking the Eight Paths of Taihang is equivalent to annexing Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, it is not easy. But for the whole, it is indeed something that has to be done. Things are like a knife against your throat. Do you prefer to hold them in the hands of others, or in your own hands?

Xu Shu also said: "Therefore, in addition to the position of Protector of Hungary, it is also necessary to obtain the position of Bingzhou Mufang to be safe, and at least to obtain the position of Bingzhou Governor, so that the decree can be carried out without any worries."

Pang Tong continued: "Now we have good relations with Xihe County and Hedong County. As long as we win Shang County, we can jointly submit a petition to the emperor for the post of governor of the state. This is probably not a big problem. The position of governor of the state has too much weight... I'm afraid. It’s hard to get at the moment…”

This is also true. Although Zhou Mu does not stipulate what standards must be met, at least it cannot be obtained by people like Fei Qian who are in their early twenties. Even the Liu family members are all around forty years old. Only those who are serious will consider it.

This is the strategy in the east and west directions. The east side expands to the Taihang Mountains, across the mountain from Yuan Shao, and the west side expands to Shangjun. The west of Shangjun is about to enter the vast uninhabited Gobi area. It has been an area of ​​little value since ancient times. , and it is not suitable for garrisoning the population, neither for farming nor grazing.

Therefore, it can be regarded as a natural barrier. Without navigation, positioning, and roads, crossing the vast Gobi desert is almost a pure act of seeking death.

Now that we have a strategic vision for the east-west direction, what about the north-south direction?

The Eight Paths of Taihang...

There are many east-west transverse valleys (xings) in the Taihang Mountains. The famous ones include Junduxing, Puyinxing, Feihuxing, Jingxing, Fukouxing, Baixing, Taihangxing, Zhiguanxing, etc. They were called Taihang Baxing in ancient times, which was the ancient Shanxi and Hebei provinces. The eight throat passages between the three provinces of Henan that pass through the Taihang Mountains are the location of important military passes on the borders of the three provinces.

Do some popular science...
