Chapter 1115 Practice Brings True Knowledge

War horses are indeed too scarce.

Until now, Fei has not been able to completely ride two horses. At most, he can only make do with it. Only the best cavalry, that is, the heavy armored cavalry, are equipped with two horses, and the vast majority of the cavalry are still only at a rough level. Prepare one-tenth of the reserve horse status.

According to Fei Qian's concept, the best ratio of war horses to cavalry is three to one!

The heavy armored cavalry even beat one to four!

In other words, if Fei Qian wants to raise 10,000 cavalry, the number of war horses must be at least 30,000...

This value is extremely huge, but it has basically reached the limit. For the rest of the soldiers, Fei Qian feels that he can only basically rely on infantry to make up for it.

Originally, there were many war horses in the Central Plains, but it is a pity that the Central Plains has been depleted. From the Qin Dynasty to the present Han Dynasty, they have been constantly depleted, and basically there has been no increase. And another point is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Ma Zheng led to people's suffering. Of course, the people at the most basic level were still suffering. Therefore, in the late Han Dynasty, Ma Zheng became a bad government and was criticized by many people, both verbally and written. That is, Gradually disappeared.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people in the northwest were at war and were constantly consuming war horses. However, only a small part of Jizhou and Youzhou remained in the horse-raising land in the Central Plains, which is now the area where Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan belong. The rest...

That's it.

Therefore, on the one hand, relying on the area to the north to raise horses, and on the other hand, communicating with Xiliang through the Qiang people to purchase war horses, became an important measure for Fei Qian to form a large-scale cavalry, and a controllable Guanzhong would help Xiliang stability of this line.

This is naturally the best situation.

Just as Feiqian was thinking about how to maximize the effectiveness of the cavalry and horses on hand, Pang Tong and Jia Xu arrived...

Pang Tong walked in front angrily, swinging his sleeves and whistling in the wind. When he saw Fei Qian, he jumped on his feet and said, "I'm so humiliated today! I'm so angry!"

Fei Qian opened his mouth, a little surprised, and said, "Who dares to do this?"

Pang Tong bent down, cupped his hands, and greeted Fei Qian, but he was so angry that he didn't say a word, and just walked to the mat beside him and sat down.

Jia Xu, who was following behind, said with a smile: "Let me inform you, the grain and grass have just been delivered, and the supply was short by dozens of stones... Therefore, I was ordered by the Diao Yin Cang, and I ordered Shi Yuan to write down the reason for the process, and the signature painting was put into the book." Gotta let it go..."

Pang Tong shouted from the side: "The loss of food and grass is a valid reason. I am not dissatisfied with this matter. It is understandable that this person has done his duty... It's just..." Halfway through, he stopped talking angrily.

Jia Xu laughed twice and said: "People in Guanzhong have loud voices and upright temperaments... They have always been like this, so Shi Yuan should not care..."

The more Fei Qian listened, the more confused he became. After asking Jia Xu carefully, he finally understood the cause and effect.

There are always losses in transportation. Whether it is transported by soldiers, civilians, or hard labor, these are not machines. They all need to eat, so there will naturally be consumption, and this consumption is quite a lot. Moreover, In addition, if you accidentally encounter something during transportation, such as rollover, dumping, etc., you may lose more...

The transportation of grain, grass, and weapons from the Beiqu camp was mostly on mountain roads. During this period, there would occasionally be light rain in the mountains, which made it a bit slippery. In order to transport more grain, grass, and utensils, the baggage trucks were Generally, carriages are longer and larger, and have baffles and pillars, so it is more difficult to turn in the mountains. It is normal for some accidents to happen.

However, Pang Tong was young after all, and had never been engaged in related matters before, so when the transportation arrived at Diaoyin, he thought it was over, so he left Diaoyin warehouse alone, and then turned to leave, but was managed by Diaoyin. Yin Cang grabbed the catalpa and started yelling...

In fact, it’s not really shouting…

The main reason is that the people in Guanzhong speak loudly, and two people standing together and chatting can feel like they are quarreling. How can Pang Tong, who came from Jingxiang, get used to this?

They were all southerners who spoke softly and slowly, but suddenly encountered Guanzhong's speech pattern. Pang Tong naturally thought that Cang Ling had done this intentionally.

In addition, Pang Tong's self-esteem was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he was somewhat unhappy.

As for Jia Xu's personality, naturally at this time, she has her hands on her sleeves and is mostly in the mood of watching the excitement. When she has seen enough of the show, she will come out and stretch out her hands...

Pang Tong said he was bullied, which actually meant something like this.

After hearing this, Fei Qian laughed loudly, then called Huang Xu and said, "Bring Shi Yuan the military regulations!"

Huang Xu also smiled, and then handed the bamboo slip with the military regulations to Pang Tong.

"Don't be angry, Shi Yuan," Fei Qian said. "There is no small matter in the army. The punishment is the heaviest, often whipping and beheading. What's more, the legal affairs are for the sake of strict law, good governance of the army and people, and high moral standards." Doing good and eliminating evil is not aimed at Shi Yuan alone... Shi Yuan needs to take a closer look at this military regulation... It's also my fault that I didn't explain this clearly earlier..."

Pang Tong stretched out his hand to take it, but still said: "It's just the old story of Liu Tao, so what's the problem..."

Fei Qian smiled and said: "The Six Tao were made in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the military system is detailed, it is still a little out of date, so there are some changes... Shi Yuan might as well take a closer look and correct me if there is anything wrong... …”

After hearing this, Pang Tong remained silent.

This arrogant Pang Tong...

Fei Qian smiled.

In history, did Pang Tong arrive in Soochow first?

Then he was underestimated by Bi Yan, so he finally found Liu Bei?

I guess so. However, Pang Tong should be younger now than when he went to Soochow in history, so it is normal to be a little young and energetic.

Pang Tong's important function is still in the grand strategy. The overall planning and layout are very strong, but the details inevitably need to be supplemented by low-level execution personnel. Moreover, Pang Tong was young and had been studying under Lushan Mountain. He did not have any relevant military life experience, so it was inevitable that he had a little lack of experience in specific affairs.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and Pang Tong's advantages are also very strong.

This time, the suggestion of taking Zuo Feng Yi was also emphasized by Pang Tong, and he also formulated relevant plans, which were unanimously recognized by everyone.

Perhaps because he knew something was wrong with him, or because his anger had dissipated at that moment, after Pang Tong received the military regulations, he did not open it and read it immediately, but asked: "I wonder what is going on in Suyi?"

Fei Qian said: "Yesterday Captain Zhang sent someone to report that Suyi was also occupied... Now Captain Zhang is cruising around Suyi, intercepting and killing the scouts..."

After hearing this, Pang Tong laughed twice and said, "So, as expected, it's already in the urn!"

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Exactly, after two days, a certain person will lead his army to camp south and force Suyi... But there is no news about Yuan Zhi for the time being..."

Pang Tong said: "I know Yuan Zhi very well. If there is no news at this moment, it means nothing happened!"

"Aha! So Zuo Fengyi has been decided..." Pang Tong took a breath and said, "I can rest for two days..." Pang Tong said tough, but in fact he was somewhat worried in his heart, afraid of what might happen to his plan. Something unexpected happened, but when I learned that things were going exactly as planned, I felt relieved and seemed a lot more relaxed.

Fei Qian said with a smile: "It's been a long journey and it's hard work. There's nothing important happening here today. Shi Yuan and Wen He might as well go and rest first and come back at Mao tomorrow..."

Pang Tong bowed his hands, thanked him, then stood up and walked out.

Jia Xu fell behind, but did not leave. Instead, he waited for Pang Tong to leave first, then turned around again, came back, clasped his hands, sat down, and said: "The Lord just said that the law is strict, and the rule of law is strict." I also deeply believe that the military governs the people and promotes good and eliminates evil...but..."

"Your Majesty," Jia Xulue asked hesitantly, "I have something that I don't know whether to talk about..."

"..." Fei Qian rolled his eyelids slightly, thinking to himself, why do these people like this?

Why don't we just block him back?

Forget it.

"Wen He, please tell me something." Fei Qian finally said.

"Junhou," Jia Xu cupped his hands, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "I wonder if Li Tonggu has merit or fault?"

Fei Qian straightened his waist slightly and looked at Jia Xu.

Fei Qian thought for a while and said: "Whether Li Tonggu's contribution was wrong or not depends on future generations... Maybe he did some things right, but the final result was wrong..."

Jia Xu was silent for a long time, then looked at Fei Qian, and said tentatively: "...Since I arrived in the north, I have had long talks with the monarch many times...Whether it is to govern the place or implement the new policy, Jia Xu , all have the feeling of finding a new way and opening up a new world... In the past, a certain person once boasted that he was no weaker than the people in the world, but now he knows that there is a heaven outside the world..."

Fei Qianba smacked his lips and said, "Wen He, please speak frankly."

"... Your Majesty, since you deeply understand the meaning of Legalism, why..." Jia Xu was choked for a moment and said, "... Please forgive me for being rude... Why Your Majesty now makes great use of Taoism and Confucianism, but... Are you underestimating Legalism? But because of the former Qin Dynasty?"

Fei Qian looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wen He, are you a Legalist?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "No. If you think about it, I just got some inheritance from the Za family..."

"Miscellaneous family..." Fei Qian nodded.

The Zajia actually also has a heavy criminal law, and of course it also includes many other things, including Mohism, Zongheng, Alchemist, and Taoism, so it is called the Zajia. However, after the Spring and Autumn Period and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Zajia gradually faded away because the Zajia was too complex.

Speaking of which, the students trained by the education of later generations are basically miscellaneous...

Or is it that Zajia is the best grassroots workforce?

Um……

this……

"Junhou...Junhou?" Jia Xu saw that Fei Qian was a little distracted and couldn't help but ask. When I talk about Zajia, you look like you are wandering around. What do you mean?

"Aha, I thought of something else, sorry, sorry..." Fei Qian smiled, cupped his hands slightly, apologized, and then said, "Actually, whether it is Taoism, Confucianism, Law, or even Wenhe The Miscellaneous Family was all created during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and it still lasts hundreds of years... As the saying goes, everything needs to change with the passage of time... Haha, maybe Wen He hasn't noticed yet, someone also uses Legalism..."

"The monarchs also have people from Legalism?" Jia Xu's eyes widened, "There are only a few legalists left in the world! Who are they under the monarchs? Shi Yuan? No, no... Youruo? Well, that's right. no……"

Fei Qian stopped Jia Xu from wringing his fingers and said with a smile: "Actually, Wen He has seen these things before... Wen He has also seen them just now..."

"... met... today?" Fei Qian said, and Jia Xu became more confused.

Fei Qian nodded and said: "...Haha, didn't Shiyuan just say that he would escort the baggage and deliver it in the pass..."

Jia Xu frowned and said, "Could it be that the Lord is Pangcang Ling, who is in charge of Diao Yincang's talents?"

Pang Cangling's surname was Pang, but no one knew his specific name, or perhaps no one paid special attention to him when he returned. He was originally just a team leader in the army. Because he lost half of his right arm in the battle with Xianbei and survived by luck, he was assigned to the logistics department of the Fei Qian Army to manage food, grass, equipment and other matters.

As for writing and mathematics, Pang Cang Ling, who was born as a soldier, knew something about it. This was also due to Fei Qian's previous training system as a soldier sergeant, so that these soldiers could serve as small officials after retirement.

"Exactly." Fei Qian chuckled.

Jia Xu shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can this person be a member of the Legalist family? Does he know the law? Does he know his name? Does he use force? He is just a simple and humble official, and he is definitely not a member of the Legalist family..."

Fei Qian laughed loudly, and then said: "Wen He, although he doesn't know the name of punishment, and he doesn't know the art of power, but the charm of Legalism has not been lost at all! Because the quantity of food and grass in the baggage does not match, it is dozens of stones short, and it is still missing. Shi Yuan told you in detail, has it been recorded in the file?"

"...This..." Speaking of this matter, Jia Xu said thoughtfully, "...This is his duty...Well, what the Lord means..."

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Exactly, what I mean is not the amount of food and grass, but the attitude of this person in doing things... Legalists do not know the methods of punishment, name, potential, etc. and call it Dharma... This is also the inheritance of Dharma, I don't know Does Wen He think so?"

Jia Xu lowered his head and fell silent, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a long time, Jia Xu looked at Fei Qian and said slowly: "What do you mean by the monarch? Is it possible that the descendants of each family have no writing and only use it?"

Fei Qian nodded and said, "A certain person got the five-character mantra from an ancient book. I wonder if Wen He wants to hear it?"

Jia Xugong cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."

"...These five words are..." Fei Qian suddenly smiled, and then said, "...Practice brings true knowledge..."
