Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1709 The Power of Soldiers and Horses

   In the second year of Taixing, golden autumn and October.

  In the south of Yinshan Mountain, the small camp that was originally built according to the mountain has now become a huge camp, with three floors inside and outside, and people shouting and neighing, just like a small town.

In the camp, there are various areas that are well-organized in a horizontal and vertical direction. The wide and vertical area in the middle is the passage for soldiers and horses. Of course, it can also be used as a fire prevention partition, and there are specially dug wells in each small area. Although water is collected outside the camp most of the time, there are also water points inside the camp for fire prevention or emergency use.

In the camp, most of the earliest tents have now been replaced by earthen houses. This kind of houses made of wood, tiles, yellow mud and stone strips are naturally warmer than tents, and at the same time, they are fireproof, waterproof and insect-proof. Better, it is natural that these cavalry trained in Yinshan can rest better.

  Even the land around the camp was leveled on purpose, tamped out with gravel and sand as a bedding, and then some wood scraps were used to regularize the sides of the road to form a boundary.

In the central area close to the mountain, there are not only the residence of the coach, but also important weapon arsenals and material warehouses. These are all made of stone, durable, and also have a certain degree of defense, which can ensure that even the outer The stronghold wall is breached, but it can still provide a certain period of defense effect.

  In the entire camp, flags of various colors fluttered high. According to the distribution of the army, the eight-party banners occupied the camp wall, and in the huge area in front of the wall, there was already a dark crowd, with a solemn expression and a strict military appearance. Zhao Yun and Ma Yue are at the forefront, sitting side by side on horseback, wearing helmets and armor. If the horse under the crotch does not shake its head from time to time and snort, some people might think that they are two mighty statues.

  In the entire army formation, except for the occasional sound of war horses, everyone is waiting quietly...

   "The Hussar General is here!"

  In the camp, a high-pitched voice suddenly came out, and immediately the orders came from far to near, and then there was a bang, "General Hussars is here!"

Compared with other abilities, human beings may not be as good as some species on the earth. For example, human lungs are semi-finished products, which are far inferior to those of birds. What intelligent creatures are far from being able to match is killing their own kind.

The most fundamental purpose of military training is to train a natural person into a machine that can kill the same kind efficiently, so that a person can kill the same kind opposite without any psychological worries, even though these same kind may look and look Not the same.

This kind of training method, refined through the continuous war process of human beings, is becoming more and more mature and perfect. Of course, the method of later generations may not be the most mature and perfect, but for the people of the Han Dynasty In general, the concept and method of military training brought by Fei Qian is undoubtedly the most advanced and the most terrifying.

  Why do most universities in later generations have to carry out military training?

Some people say that it is to show power, but it actually has a little meaning, but it is more to make people want to get rid of some habits of dominating the family, and let this part of people know that they are no longer at home, but a brand new place. …

University military training usually lasts from one month to three months, but as the professional soldiers that Fei Qian is facing now, at least one of them has undergone more than one year of training, through repeated training that is harsh and boring, demanding, and even similar to hypnosis. , Freedom and sloppyness are gradually being wiped away, and what remains is iron and blood.

Under Fei Qian's command, most of the soldiers who fought with the North and South in the early years are now middle-aged, and some are even over 40 years old. Under the conditions of the Han Dynasty, especially the current war It is a blessing to be able to live past the age of forty, so fresher and younger soldiers must be added.

Limited by the times, these soldiers under Fei Qian's command are naturally unable to compare with the soldiers of later generations on many levels, but if they are compared horizontally, it is enough to be jaw-dropping and daunting to be able to train recruits to such a level .

Originally, the recruitment of the big man was actually like a mercenary army. It was originally from mixed sources and uneven. The encouragement to fight was often driven by profit, relying on the supervising army in the army. No. Anyone can fight against the wind, but the real test is against the wind.

   Fei dived to the front of the formation, reined in his horse, and stood still.

   "See Hussar General!"

  Zhao Yun and Ma Yue dismounted and paid homage together, and then all the soldiers dismounted and paid homage together.

   "See Hussar General!!"

  The sound shook the sky, and even Fei Qian's war horse planed its hooves on the ground a little uneasy.

When a group of people, a large group of people, perform a certain action in unison, it can always bring great shock to others, and Sima Yi is no exception. When he saw such a situation for the first time, there seemed to be only a blank in his head.

   Fei Qian patted the horse's neck lightly to reassure the horse, and then slowly swept his eyes over the soldiers in front of him.

  Zhao Yun will not talk about it, the familiar pie face...

  The soldiers behind Zhao Yun were all tanned. As cavalrymen, they naturally couldn't be as tall and burly as the group of heavy armored soldiers in Weidu, but they were also equally fierce. At this moment, everyone is looking at Fei Qian himself, and there seems to be a kind of worship in their eyes, a kind of admiration...

   This kind of worship and admiration naturally belonged to Fei Qian alone.

But with such emotion, even Sima Yi, who was standing by Pei Mao and other civil servants from afar, couldn't help feeling a little bit. Unknowingly, his hairs stood on end, and he couldn't help but blurted out: "Such elite soldiers! This world... this world..." Sima Yi shivered, and then swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.

Pei Mao was on the side, and nodded slightly when he heard the sound, and said: "This method... as long as the hussars are there, they will be like mountains, unshakable... However, only if the hussars are rich can you get this soldier...clothes, armor, and long hair. , shorts, strings, horses, where is it not expensive? Back then, the Luoyang Northern Army only issued clothes and socks once a year..."

  The Northern Army of Luoyang was the resident army of the Han Dynasty at that time.

  Sima Yi smiled slightly, nodded, and did not continue to say anything. When he followed Fei Qian all the way to Yinshan, Sima Yi also thought about some issues about the army and generals, and planned to find an opportunity to mention it to Feiqian. It seemed that none of the issues he had considered before were big issues, the only issue was—money and food.

According to Fei Qian's training method, even if individual generals have great ambitions and are difficult to control in this kind of soldier ration, once the central ration is cut off, even if these generals have the heart, it is basically impossible to maintain the original The level of money and food is low, so it is naturally unlikely that the generals will lead a large group of soldiers to rebel.

Moreover, on these soldiers, whether it is a weapon or a battle armor, there are inscriptions of "Dahan Hussars XX Year XX Worker XX Supervisor", which is similar to the general retrospective system of the former Qin Dynasty, and it also makes people who want to start corruption in it People have greater difficulties and risks. When and how much was out of the warehouse, and how much was in the hands of the soldiers, it is very clear after a check. It is not like the original Han Dynasty. It is all muddled accounts.

For example, in Xiliang during the Han Dynasty, the most common problem was that the lack of catties or two was used as a good product, and then when they went to the field, they could check the documents along the way to see which link was wrong. question. Although the existence of corruption cannot be completely avoided, it is already many times better for the period of the Second Emperor Heng Ling, who was unprepared and even had no documents.

Sima Yi stood aside, thinking miscellaneously, but Fei Qian in the field raised his hand, and the flag officer standing on the side immediately moved the battle flag, and the war drum began to beat rumblingly, as if the In everyone's heart.

"In the third year of Chuping, I fought here with Zhao, Ma, Zhang and other generals!" After the beating of drums stopped, Fei Qian shouted in a deep voice, "Fight to the death. Go north, and there is this place!"

"This work here is ours! It is also our glory!" Fei Qian continued to shout, "And now! This glory is in your hands! And there is still no territory left in this world. After all, there are still undefeated enemy countries, countless feats, and countless glory! It will start from this moment! It will start from the swords and guns in your hands! The big man, when talking and laughing, break the army and kill the generals, conquer the territory, and overthrow the enemy country with your hands , Invigorate my Han power! A big man, you should hold the Wu hook, capture the enemy chieftain, ascend the Yuntai, and be a marquis!"

   "Ooooooooh..."

   "Hold the Wu hook, capture the enemy chieftain, ascend the Yuntai, and become a marquis!"

  The soldiers waved their knives and guns in the air, and everyone shouted with all their strength. The sound was like a rolling thunder, and it exploded in the sky above Yinshan Mountain, and then shocked Yu Fuluo, who was watching the ceremony, to turn pale.

Originally, Yu Fuluo had heard that Hussar General Fei Qian had come to Yinshan Mountain, and wanted to come here to make some friends, so that Fei Qian could make an opening and achieve his previous goal of obtaining Han craftsmen, but after arriving here, Fei Qian first talked left and right. He, and then invited him to watch such a pre-war swearing-in, Yu Fuluo suddenly felt that he had nothing to say...

  How could the Han people do this?

   Generation after generation, it seems that there are successors, and thinking about his own people, Yu Fuluo can't help but feel a little sad...

  The Han people had Wei Qing, Huo Guang, Dou Wu, Feng Yi later, Ma Yuan, Ban Chao, and Liangzhou Sanming in recent years, and of course, the hussar general Fei Qian...

  How can there be so many?

  After this, how will I live...

  Yu Fuluo suddenly felt that his head hurts, no matter which head hurts.

  Amidst the thunderous shouts, Fei Qian saw Yu Fuluo's blood-stained face, and immediately looked away, and then looked at the soldiers in the distance, and looked further away...

  Now the situation of the grassland near Yinshan Mountain has changed a lot, and it is quite different from before. Because of the further tension in the internal relationship of the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people have no time to take care of the situation on the Yinshan side, and the next successor in the deep desert north of the Yinshan Mountain, Rouran, is still in its infancy and is quite humble, so at this stage Generally speaking, the vicinity of Yinshan Mountain is basically peaceful.

   Speaking of the vicissitudes of the desert above, it is actually no less inferior than that on the land of China.

  Huns, Donghu, Xianbei, Qiang, Tubo, Rouran, Turks, Uighurs, Mongolia, Khitan, Jurchen, Tatars, Dangxiang, Wusu, Kazakhs...

   It seems to feel very chaotic, but in fact, just like the dynasties on the land of China, they all have these connections with each other. It can be said that during the Qin Dynasty when the land of China was unified, the pair of brothers Xiongnu and Donghu already existed, and then the Huns were so big that they would not only beat Donghu fat, but even beat the newly established big Han at that time. Fight back.

  Donghu couldn't bear the bullying of the Huns, and then split apart...

   is the predecessor of the current Xianbei and Wuhuan.

Then the overjoyed Huns were beaten back by the big man, and then they were beaten to crack themselves, forming the good lackeys of the Northern Huns and the Chinese nation who fled westward with anger and unwillingness. Some of the land was picked up by Wang Xianbei and packed up on his own plate, and student Xianbei stood in the middle of the stage.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the land of Huaxia was beaten into a mess, and the Xianbei classmate's family also swung their fists among brothers, and finally beat themselves apart, forming three Xianbei, Northern Xianbei Tuoba, and Western Xianbei Murong , Dongxianbei is Duan, Yuwen and part of Murong.

At this time, Rouran was just a slave of Bei Xianbei. Until the late period of the Five Husbands, after Tuoba Beixianbei moved south, Rouran began to turn over and become the master. He began to fight with Tuoba Xianbei, and finally put Xianbei Gan on the ground. , of course, when Rouran was strong, there was also a slave tribe, who were in charge of blacksmithing, called Turkic, which means "forging slaves"...

  After that, under the attack of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks also split apart and became East Turks and West Turks. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, when the Turks returned to the light, then the Turks' small follower Huihe, or the Uighurs, rose up, killed the Turks, and became the lord of the desert. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Khitan, who was once bullied by the Uighurs, became stronger, and then established the Daliao...

  The rise and fall of these grasslands may seem chaotic, but in fact there is a faint pattern among them. Fei Qian believes that it is impossible to completely eliminate this neighbor of Huaxia by force, and the only way to eliminate it is to eradicate the soil where these nomadic peoples grow. Although Fei Qian himself does not know whether such a plan will be successful in the future, but from the evolution and rise and fall of these nomadic peoples, there seems to be such a possibility.

  Now, what Fei Qian is going to ask Zhao Yun to do is such a thing...
