Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1701 Great Wind Brings Fortune

   On this day, Pei Mao came to the camp of the Southern Huns again and met Yu Fuluo.

   "I've seen Shan Yu..." Pei Mao smiled and said, arching his hands, "General Hussars replied to what Shan Yu said..."

   "Oh?" Yu Fuluo asked hastily, "Well, what did General Hussars say?"

  Pei Mao shook his head and said: "General Hussars said that he and Shan Yu are like brothers, and they have been friends since they fought against the Baibo bandits in Pingyang, Bingzhou..."

   "Hmm..." Yu Fuluo nodded repeatedly.

"Since we are like brothers, naturally we can't favor one over another..." Pei Mao continued naturally, "If Shanyu wants to learn some artisan skills, General Hussars said that of course he welcomes him. He has already arranged a residence in Pingyang, and I don't know how many Shanyu will send. people to study?"

   "Hmm... eh?" Yu Fuluo was stunned for a moment, "What? Send someone? Didn't General Hussars send craftsmen?"

Pei Mao said with a smile: "Brothers, of course they need to help each other, but that doesn't mean they can communicate with each other, right? For example, I think the cattle and sheep here in Shanyu are quite good, much better than ours." It’s much better, you can’t come up and just say, we are brothers, and then Shanyu’s cattle and sheep are mine, and then take them all away...right?”

   Yuvro: "..."

"So, hussars are the best..." Pei Mao continued, "Shanyu might as well think about it, if the craftsmen we send are not good, Shanyu must be uncomfortable, right? It was we who withheld the good ones and refused to give them to Shan Yu, then Shan Yu would inevitably have resentment, and this brotherhood would be divided..."

  Yu Fuluo shook his head quickly and said, "How could it be? How could it be possible? There is no such thing..."

Pei Mao smiled, didn't answer, and continued: "We also can't send the best craftsmen here, just like it is impossible for Shan Yu to give us all his men, horses, cattle and sheep... So wouldn't this be the best way?" Shan Yu felt that there was a shortage of craftsmen, so he sent people to learn it, and after learning it, wouldn’t he be Shan Yu’s own craftsman? Wouldn’t this be the best of both worlds?”

   Yu Fuluo frowned, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Can you learn anything?"

  Pei Mao nodded, and said with certainty: "Yes! General Hussar said that Shanyu can learn anything he wants!"

  Yu Fuluo rolled his eyeballs a few times, then he said: "Okay! If that's the case, I'll gather some people and go to Pingyang!"

   "Okay!" Pei Mao agreed without hesitation, and said immediately, "Then Shan Yu will pay the tuition first... I wonder how many people Shan Yu will send to learn?"

   ⊙o⊙)?" Yu Fuluo stared, "Tuition? What?"

"Tuition! As the name suggests, it is the cost of studying!" Pei Mao also stared, and said very seriously, "You have to pay tuition for everything you learn! We Han people have to pay tuition for everything we study by ourselves! And this tuition It's not for me, or for the Hussar General, but for those craftsmen! Just think about it, you send people there, do you want to learn more and learn better? Then if you don't give tuition to the craftsmen, the craftsmen How could they be willing to teach? Artisans are unwilling to teach some good ones, and those who go alone can’t learn anything every day. Even if the Hussar General is exempt from the accommodation fee, he still needs to eat and drink. Isn’t that a waste of money? Yu's money?"

"This...wait, wait..." Yu Fuluo rubbed his head with some headaches, "Why do I think...it seems to mean...do you have any other expenses besides tuition? Aren't you brothers, what kind of expenses are these, shouldn't they be Was it from General Hussars..."

"What Shan Yu said..." Pei Mao stretched out his hand and pointed out, and said, "Brothers are guests, of course it should be entertained, but this study, it doesn't mean that it can be done in a day or two, or ten or eight days. Learned... It's like when I come here once or twice, Shanyu treats me to eat and drink cattle and sheep, and next time Shanyu goes to our side, we also entertain Shanyu. This is what should be done, and there is nothing to say, but If I bring tens of thousands of people here every day, do nothing, just eat and drink every day, and also treat Shan Yu, how many days can Shan Yu eat these cattle and sheep? And our Hussar General said that the residence has been arranged , in terms of brotherhood, no money will be charged, but for the food and drink, Shan Yu's people have to prepare by themselves..."

   "This..." Yu Fuluo was speechless, "Let me think about it... think about it again..."

  Pei Mao smiled, "Okay, this matter of learning, Shan Yu can slowly consider it, but this military matter, the opportunity for war is fleeting, so it can't be said to be considered slowly..."

  …(_..)…

  For Fei Qian, Yu Fuluo's problem is basically not a problem, but there are still many problems waiting for Fei Qian to solve...

Generally speaking, if it is said that Lao Tzu is very famous and then published in the history books, most of the historians will mention the descendants and attach the inheritance of his children. However, it is strange that the Chen Liu Cai family seems to be apart from Cai Yong and Cai Yan. , I couldn't find anyone else's name at all.

For example, when writing about Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, the sons of these people must also be mentioned. Even if the son died before Lao Tzu, even if Zheng Xuan was broken by Kong Rong, he died in the hands of Yuan Tan. The pen and ink clicked.

  Therefore, in the history books, if the previous generation was very famous, but the sons and grandchildren were not mentioned after death, the only explanation is that the children and grandchildren are not material, and the inheritance will be cut off soon.

   From Feiqian's point of view, the Chen Liucai family during the Three Kingdoms period probably belonged to this situation. Although there are many celebrities in the Cai family in later generations, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, since Cai Yong and Cai Yan in Chenliu Cai, there have been no well-known figures for one or two hundred years...

After all, during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, for the gentry families, even ordinary down-and-out families, as long as they were middle-of-the-road talents, there would be a relatively spacious promotion channel. It is not difficult to become an official. It's not a problem either.

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms period, the Chenliu Cai family did not leave a mark, whether it was the Wei State or the Shu State Wu State. Either the Chen Liu Cai family was unfortunately affected by Chiyu in the early battle between Cao Cao and Eryuan, or these Cai families During the process of seeking refuge, the younger brother was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow or infected with the plague, and died before he could do anything memorable.

   During the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms, it was very common for a person to die unexpectedly, so even the historian felt that it was common and there was nothing to note.

  So, now, how to deal with Chen Liucai, or how to arrange it, has become a problem that Fei Qian has to face.

  Marriage is not simply love between men and women. Accepting a person is not just one person, but a family. This was especially evident in the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, how did the famous foreign relatives group in the Han Dynasty form?

Cai Gu and the others are just like Fei Qian's two brothers from the same family. They have few talents but great ambitions. They watch other people take care of things and don't care whether they can do well. They just get hot-eyed and cause trouble. It is inevitable to implicate others and let others wipe their ass. But throwing it aside completely, ignoring it at all, is not enough.

Fei Qian's current rank is already quite high. If Fei Qian can continue to survive from now on, Fei's family can be regarded as a new noble family in Guanluo. Of course, whether it can settle down and become an old family , it is not a matter of one generation.

  So Cai Gu, Fei He, Fei Yu and other incompetent people have become Fei Qian's current tasteless problem.

Now it seems that Cai Gu, Feihe, Fei Yu and the others don't have much ambition. They just pursue food and drink on weekdays. According to Fei Qian's current wealth, even if they raise a group of such people to eat and drink every day, It can't be spent, so I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now Cai Gu is obviously being used by others, and he has no self-knowledge, which is more troublesome.

  People of that era did not lack ambition.

Feihe and Feiyu are getting older, after all, they can't be thrown in the academy forever and ignore them. If they want to be promoted, it's just a matter of Fei Qian's words, but the problem is Feihe and Feiyu Whether it is knowledge or wisdom, it is a problem. If I really hold any official position, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the people in civil affairs, and lose soldiers and generals in military affairs...

Throwing it to the local level and going down to the grassroots to exercise and increase knowledge and experience is good from a certain point of view, but people like Cai Gu, Fei He, and Fei Yu are used to enjoying themselves, so of course they don’t want to, and they don’t. That self-awareness, otherwise it would have been arranged long ago.

  This is one problem, and another problem is that if you marry Cai Yan, Cai Yong's tomb also needs to be repaired. And the relationship with Hongnong Yang's will also become a little delicate. As the Hongnong Yang family, he must also be worried about when Fei Qian will find a reason to settle accounts in the autumn harvest. Although he may not be very loyal now, Fei Qian does not want to intensify the conflict immediately, and boil the frog in warm water. is a better model.

  Theoretically, people can learn and improve. Therefore, Cai Gu, Feihe, Feiyu and other related households may get better, but such uncertainty is not worth looking forward to.

  The Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety. As long as it is related to filial piety, even if you are guilty, you can be mitigated. Even if you do filial piety at the risk of violating the national law, it may be passed on as a good talk. In such a big environment, Fei Qian's reputation has always been good, so it is impossible to completely ignore these people, but how to arrange them has become a problem.

  Not as good as…

   While Fei Qian was thinking about it, suddenly a soldier came to report that a large number of Qiang people had gathered in the south of Hexi, and they seemed to intend to attack Hexi and Longxi!

   "Huh? This Yang Yishan..." Fei Qian frowned, and then disassembled the information submitted by the soldiers, Fang was a little stunned, "So that's it..."

  …(づ￣3￣)づ…

  At dusk, a setting sun slowly sinks below the horizon, leaving behind a few pieces of glowing red clouds, still lingering in the vast dusk.

  This is the plateau area south of Hexi, which is also the area of ​​later Tibet. On the open space outside the big tent, Yang Fu stood with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the dark sky, with many thoughts in his heart.

  If he had the extra power of choice, Yang Fu would not be willing to push the situation to war. War is a continuation of politics, because if the relevant interests cannot be obtained at the negotiating table, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled, it will inevitably lead to war.

These people in Tibet, these mixed Xianbei, Qiang, and ancient Meng people, because they have been isolated in this area of ​​Tibet for a long time, and because the Eastern Han Dynasty has no strength to set foot in this area for a long time, so these people Think this area is their territory, even including the Hexi Corridor.

  In the eyes of these people, the Han Chinese are actually invaders. So they plundered Baishiqiang's goods, burned down the temporary Han camp, and tied the captured people to wooden pillars to die in the sun...

  The key is that Yang Fu has noticed signs that these things are not very good. Such fierce conflicts and contradictions seem to be driven by someone behind! In other words, someone deliberately provoked the situation and did not want the situation to calm down!

   "Join the army..." Xu Ding stood next to Yang Fu, looked at the setting sun in the sky like Yang Fu, and said, "We still have to fight... Why can't these people make sense..."

  Yang Fu shook his head, and said: "It's not that it doesn't make sense, but these people are pretending to be confused...Xu Duwei, do you know what the words 'Falcon Tixi Boye' mean in the Qiang dialect?"

  Xu Ding said: "Please also join the army for advice."

"Hehe..." Yang Fu laughed twice, pointed to the south with his hand, and said, "This is the title they gave themselves...'Falcon Tixi Boye' means the king of the sun in the sky, Or the meaning of the King of Light... Xu Duwei, do you think that a person who has given himself such a title would be willing to conduct peace talks?"

  Xu Ding silently shook his head.

   "But..." Xu Ding hesitated to speak.

  Yang Fu glanced at Xu Ding, and said, "If Captain Xu has any thoughts, you might as well just say it..."

  Xu Dinggong cupped his hands and said: "I just remembered the old things in Xiqiang..."

  Yang Fu sighed, nodded, and said: "This is exactly what a certain person is worried about... If you don't fight, it will be a big disaster sooner or later, and if you can't fight it, I'm afraid that in the past..."

Longxi and Xiliang are barren, and the Western Regions have not been under the control of the Han Dynasty for a long time. It is not because the Western Regions have been deserted during the Han Dynasty, but because of the perennial war state, which makes this area unable to satisfy both animal husbandry and farming. The most basic needs of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people.

   To control this area, there must be at least 20,000 standing soldiers, and to feed 20,000 soldiers, there must be a permanent population base of at least 200,000.

  When the Qiang people in Xiliang rebelled, a large part of the reason was not that the Qiang people were capricious, but that the officials sent by the court didn't care about Xiliang's life and death, and carried out perverse actions and extorted money. Of course, for these officials, if they want to leave this ghostly place, whether it is for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty or for Shi Changshi, they must have a large sum of money, and it is naturally impossible for these money to come out of themselves...

  So the former Xiliang government of the Han Dynasty can be said to be the darkest and most corrupt place in the entire Han dynasty. In the end, a rebellion broke out, and Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others successively led the rebel army, and finally gave Dong Zhuo a chance to grow up, which became the root cause of the overthrow of the Han dynasty.

  The Hexi Corridor is undoubtedly very fragile at this stage, both geographically and militarily. If this group of guys who call themselves the "Bright Clan" are ignored, then who can guarantee that these people will not go further? When the time comes, won't General Hussar's Protectorate of the Western Regions be cut off?

"Therefore, the battle must be fought, but it cannot be fought for a long time..." Yang Fu said, "So someone gave the hussar general a seal, and asked the hussar general to deploy troops, and it must be decided with one action! If it is like It’s the method of adding troops like that back then, I’m afraid it’s just…”

   "The main problem is food and grass..." Xu Ding also looked into the distance and said, "If there are too few soldiers and horses, they cannot deal enough blows to these people, but if there are too many soldiers and horses, the food and grass supply..."

  Yang Fu nodded and said, "This is the same consideration, so if we can use Qiang to rule Qiang... I don't know how much this strategy can achieve..."
