Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3285: Exclusion and Ranking

　　　Capture Xiahou Yuanrang? 』

Fei Qian was quite surprised.

In the age of cold weapons, capturing enemy generals on the battlefield is not as easy as in the game, and there is no such thing as a must-capture card to provide a probability bonus.

This is because if they are not fighting directly face-to-face, then most generals will be on the back line of the battlefield. Whether it is a man or a horse, it is difficult to cross the battlefield and attack the enemy general's position, let alone return. To defeat and scatter the opponent's guards...

However, Xiahou Dun was relatively unlucky. He misjudged the situation, and in the relatively restricted terrain of Taihang Mountain, there was not much room for escape.

So Xiahou Dun was arrested and is now on his way to Jinyang, and the letter was sent to Fei Qian as soon as possible.

At the same time, news of Cui Jun's arrest was also reported.

Cui Houze fell into a mountain stream on the way and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

　　　『My lord, I am so happy! ” Xun Chen cupped his hands in congratulations.

Xiahou Dun can be said to be the second commander of Cao's army and the core figure of Cao's political group. Now he has fallen into the hands of Fei Qian. Although he is still in the Taiyuan area for the time being, he has already added a lot of chances to Fei Qian's final victory. .

 Xun Chen understood this, and so did Xu Chu.

"This matter..." Fei Qian pondered for a moment, "It will not be announced to the outside world yet." 』

Xun Chen and Xu Chu looked at each other, and then Xun Chen quickly understood and handed over his hands.

Xu Chu hesitated for a moment, but followed Xun Chen and agreed.

Fei Qian didn't mean to give a specific explanation, because the current battle situation was still the most important thing.

In front of Fei Qian and the other three people, there was a huge sand table, and in the center of the sand table, there was a miniature flag representing Cao Cao.

Fei Qian looked down at the entire sand table.

 Xu Chu also quickly stood on Fei Qian's side.

Xun Chen glanced at Fei Qian, and then focused his eyes on the sand table. He suddenly had a feeling that the sandbox was like a net, and Cao Cao was a fish that fell into the net. Cao Cao wanted to break free from the net, or fight Fei Qian to the death, but Fei Qian was like a patient fisherman, waiting for the big fish to use up its last strength.

Fei Qian frowned slightly, looked at the sand table, and said nothing for a while.

 Xu Chu and Xun Chen both thought that Fei Qian was thinking about how to defeat Cao Cao, and they did not dare to disturb Fei Qian, but in fact Fei Qian was not actually thinking about how to attack Cao Cao...

 There are only three roads, oh, four roads going down from the Emei Mountains.

 The two middle ones are similar, so they can be counted as three, or three directions, left, middle and right.

 The left road is Wenxi, the right road is Puban, and the middle is Anyi.

 Detours are required in both directions.

The Emei Mountains look flat, but in fact there are many folds. This is a characteristic of Loess Plateau. The two families seem to be very close to each other, and the other party can hear you if you shout. But to visit the other party's house, you have to walk for an hour or two...

 So there is only one main direction of attack.

 Cao Cao also knew this.

 Yuncheng Basin is like a gladiatorial arena.

 Cao Cao is over.

When Fei Qian learned that Cao Cao's banner was erected in the center of the Yuncheng Basin, he understood that this was Cao Cao's challenge to Fei Qian, which was more direct than any other letter of challenge. If Fei Qian refused to fight, Cao Cao would probably turn around and leave, and would later laugh at Fei Qian for being timid.

Fei Qian will come naturally.

 Now Fei Qian is thinking not only about fighting, but also about what to do after the fighting is over.

Fei Qian specially brought him to Hedong to fight. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid damaging Guanzhong. On the other hand, he took this opportunity to deal with the rural gentry and noble families in Hedong. In addition, there was also a hidden reason, which was to cultivate the people under his command. A member of the Shandong faction.

Xun Chen is from Yingchuan.

 Xu Chu was from Qiao County.

 Sima Yi, a native of Hanoi.

Wei Erha, who even broke free from the reins and let him go, was from Nanyang.

 Differences in political views are the most irreconcilable contradictions in the world. Everyone's different views lead to different political opinions, and such contradictions in political opinions are bound to exist, just like day and night. Therefore, it cannot be said that the foolish and bold Qin Shihuang thought that unifying the laws would unify the thoughts of the world.

 The people of Shandong must not be able to escape the blame for the fact that the Han Dynasty has reached this point. Dong Zhuo indeed made a bad start, and the Shandong talents were the important driving force behind completely smashing the entire Han Dynasty to no end.

 The Jujube Alliance, on the surface, is an anti-Dong alliance, but in fact it is an alliance to divide the Han Dynasty. There is no doubt about this.

 To put it simply, Dong Zhuo moved his hand, and the one who followed to bury the big man with soil was from Shandong.

This is not surprising at all. After all, in the minds of Shandong people, especially in the minds of the gentry and gentry in Yuzhou and Jizhou, they bear most of the financial taxes of the Han Dynasty and feed countless soldiers on the Han Dynasty's frontiers, so they will naturally feel proud. Ao felt that other states and counties in the Han Dynasty, especially the Western Regions in the North, were simply poor relatives in the valleys. They would only come to collect debts and ask for things. I don’t know how disgusted I was. So as soon as Dong Zhuo took action, he naturally found a way to sever relatives and cut off contacts. reasons.

Of course, in fact, "xenophobia" does not only occur in Jizhou and Yuzhou, nor is it limited to the Han dynasty. It can be said that wherever people live, "xenophobia" will inevitably occur, even for Fei Qian himself No exception. But the problem is that the higher a person's level is and the more far-sighted his vision is, the less "exclusion" issues should arise.

 The reason for xenophobia is simple: pride.

Jizhou and Yuzhou are currently the most suitable areas for agricultural production in the Han Dynasty. Before Feiqian, the main cultural centers, economic centers and grain production centers of the Han Dynasty were all in these two states and counties. It can be said that these two states and counties are within the Han Dynasty. Overwhelming the crowd, leaving the third place and other states and counties far away, so it is inevitable to feel proud.

But in Jizhou and Yuzhou, Shandong, Fei Qian felt that there were different forms of "arrogance" among different classes.

 First of all, there are ordinary people at the lowest level, homesteaders or tenant farmers.

These groups of people are huge in number and have the lowest ecological niche, and their "exclusion" is also naked and will be expressed directly in behavior or words.

 This is very similar to the old tenant farmers in Hedong reported by Zhang Xiu. They hate refugees from other places because these refugees will use cheaper labor prices to "rob" the "opportunities" that they were originally exploited.

As the place where the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty made his fortune and became bigger and stronger, as the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ordinary people in Yuzhou and Jizhou have enjoyed generous treatment for a long time and also received considerable benefits. However, as the As time goes by, the means of production and living are gradually occupied by the gentry and gentry, and the living standards of these ordinary people in Jizhou and Yuzhou are constantly declining. It is a pity that these local people in Jizhou and Yuzhou will be deceived by some illusions of the local gentry and gentry, and use their dissatisfaction and resentment on the refugees from other states and counties due to wars and disasters.

 The ordinary people in Jizhou and Yuzhou must have developed aversion to these refugees after a brief period of sympathy. These latecomers will obviously be more "involved" than the local people in Jizhou and Yuzhou, taking away their original living space with cheaper labor prices. Naturally, they are dissatisfied in their hearts, which will be reflected in their words and actions. Xenophobia is an inevitable result.

But these people at the bottom have a kind of enthusiasm and devotion to their hometown, which is a simple emotion. They only need to give a little recognition and reconcile the conflicts between the refugees and these original people, and it can be very simple. To resolve this "exclusionary" phenomenon. Even the government does not need to come forward. Just let these refugees learn the local dialect of Yuzhou or Jizhou, and it will be easy for these refugees to integrate...

 The more troublesome people are some officials in the countryside.

These corrupt officials can generally be seen as ordinary people who jumped up the ranks under certain circumstances. These low-level rural officials are from ordinary people, but these officials are eager to draw a clear line between themselves and their native environment, and are crazy about being in line with the upper class, so their words and deeds are actually that of a higher class. It's the same, and it would be overkill. They blow wind from above, they spit from above, and it rains, and they make thunder when they fart from above.

 The number of these officials is huge, at least for Fei Qian at the moment.

Even if we include the students in Shoushan Academy and the reserve talents of Qinglong Temple, it may not be able to meet the needs of so many villages in Jizhou and Yuzhou, so to a certain extent, Fei Qian still needs these people.

Therefore, it is particularly important to train a group of Shandong people to control these Shandong officials so that Fei Qian will not be caught in the wrong direction.

Xun Chen and others need to be a buffer between Fei Qian and Shandong, but giving rewards for useless work and destroying the rules of the game of the original promotion channels are undoubtedly digging their own graves. This is why Zhang Xiu was sent to Wenxi. After Xun Chen became a chess piece on the central battlefield on the side battlefield, Fei Qian added another Xu Chu.

This battle is not only to defeat Cao Cao, but also to allow Xu Chuxunchen and others to obtain certain merits, so that the next step of the plan can be carried out logically...

Therefore, using Shandong people to govern Shandong people is undoubtedly a very important strategy for Feiqian in the next stage, but it does not mean that this strategy is permanent. After passing the early stage, it will still need to be adjusted.

It was like Fei Qian was planning to transfer Zhao Yun, the Northern Territory Protector, back.

With his thoughts settled, Fei Qian really looked at the sand table.

Fei Qian's scouts were equipped with a small number of but very sharp telescopes for this era, so the deployment of Cao Jun was far more than Cao Jun himself expected.

 On the battlefield, whoever has more information will have more advantages.

Fei Qian stood on the edge of the sand table, inspecting the battlefield, but in the eyes of Xun Chen and Xu Chu, Fei Qian seemed to be looking down on the entire land east of the river from the air. On the hundreds of miles long battle line, every small flag represents a large number of troops.

 The ranking of troops on the battlefield is a science.

　　It does not mean that you just throw the troops on the table, and then the troops can be deployed fully automatically, and then attack automatically...

This thing involves many factors such as tactics, strategy, terrain, enemy situation, etc. First of all, it must meet the needs of the overall strategy. It is necessary to choose the appropriate formation and formation according to the battlefield environment, enemy situation, and mission objectives in order to flexibly use various tactics. Means, such as ambush, detour, encirclement, etc., to achieve the purpose of combat.

 Secondly, we must consider the impact of terrain and landforms, make full use of terrain and landforms, such as mountains, hills, plains, etc., and give full play to the advantages of each arm. At the same time, it is also necessary to follow the dynamics of the enemy situation and adjust the troop rankings in time to cope with changes in the enemy. Analyze the tactics and strategies that the enemy may adopt and formulate targeted countermeasures.

 Finally, an effective communication channel must be established to clarify command relationships and division of responsibilities to improve command efficiency. Pay attention to coordination and cooperation, strengthen coordination and cooperation among various services and units, and form synergy. On this basis, logistics support must also be ensured to ensure that the troops can receive timely supplies and support.

 So this time Fei Qian called Xun Chen and Xu Chu to the sand table, just to ensure that these matters could be clarified before the battle, so that after the battle started, he would not have to ask for instructions one by one and make adjustments one by one.

 The larger the war, the more attention must be paid to the details.

Fei Qian is the core of the entire army, the brain, and the command center, while Xun Chen is the logistics officer, the nerve conduction system, and coordinates the operations of various ministries, while the infantry line led by Xu Chu is a solid shield, and then The two units of cavalry and artillery are the sharpest weapons, one long and one short.

 How these various parts are matched and ranked will determine the final victory or defeat.

Deaths and injuries are inevitable. Since both sides began to pile up their troops in this basin, it was destined that blood would water the land on this side.

 If victory is obtained at a huge cost, then Fei Qian will not have to think about continuing to advance.

 So it’s not just about winning, but also winning at the minimum cost. This is the biggest difficulty.

In the sand table, Cao Jun's flag was laid from Zhongtiao Mountain to the bottom of the slope, and a hollow formation was constructed around Anyi City. It was like setting up a core stage here in Anyi, and Fei Qian and Cao Cao were about to Fight each other in this arena.

The flags on the sand table were stationary, but in the eyes of Xun Chen and Xu Chu, they looked like a regimented formation of soldiers, advancing under the guidance of flags and drums. The moving forests of spears shimmered with cold light under the clear sky. The red of the shirt, the pitch black of the armor, and the gray and yellow of the sand mixed into mottled patches of color.

　　　Cao Jun went down the **** and set up camp one by one. Fei Qian raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Anyi along the Cao Jun camp down the slope, and then pointed in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain, "These are pieces of whetstones." After this battle, we can see whether the knife is sharper or the stone is harder. 』

Fei Qian looked at Xu Chu and Xun Chen.

Xu Chu held up his hands and said, "Lord, don't worry, even if Chu fights to pieces, he still has to clear away these rocks!" Show a way for the Lord! 』

 Xu Chu was like a mute before, rarely speaking, but he was not unable to speak.

 Because Xu Chu was considered Fei Qian's bodyguard before. Since it was a close guard, Fei Qian didn't say anything, and then a close guard started chirping? Therefore, Xu Chu was more taciturn before. Now that he spoke like this, Xun Chen was a little surprised, but he quickly understood that Xu Chu was now the commander of Fei Qian's infantry array. If he was still How can we command operations and dispatch subordinate military academies?

Xun Chen also stepped forward and said: "Although the bandit army is marching down the **** now, it is not for offense, but in a defensive posture." Most of them are Cao's elite infantry, and the elite cavalry are arranged here..."

Xun Chen pointed to the position of Anyi, and then continued, "It has been as immovable as a mountain. Most likely, he wanted to wait for the Lord to strike three times before launching a desperate counterattack." However, Cao Cao's arrangement also has a flaw. 』

Fei Qian nodded, "Tell me about it." 』

Xun Chen gestured, "The rebel army's front line looks scattered and wide, but it is actually formed in a vertical line, like a long snake. Originally, it wanted to gain flexibility, but it forgot that this camp is not an array after all. It is not flexible, and the rebels are mostly infantry. There is no cavalry cover on the two wings, and the combat power is weak. As long as our army's heavy horse armor can defeat it. If he attacks his two flanks again, his formation will be in chaos. 』

Fei Qian nodded slightly. What Xun Chen said was pretty much what he thought.

Although Cao Cao built camps one after another, each camp was indeed well-fortified and difficult to conquer in a short time. However, there was a short distance between the camps and they were all within the attack range of the Hussars. If the Hussars can successfully cut these camps apart, Cao Cao's long snake formation will inevitably turn into a dead snake formation.

 Furthermore, Feiqian has artillery, which will greatly change the rhythm of the battlefield.

If Cao Cao's army really wanted to fight Feiqian in the plains and wilderness, the hussars were the most feared unit by Cao Cao's soldiers, especially the power of the armored cavalry's intensive charge into the formation. Cao Cao was frightened. The advantage lies only in the number of soldiers and the defenses based on the camp.

“Prime Minister Cao has been in battle for a long time,” Fei Qian said slowly, “Are these flaws intentional? 』

 ‘Hmm…’ Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat.

Xun Chen is very smart, but he doesn’t have much real experience in battle, so he can’t help but be a little impatient and a little careless now. After all, not everyone in reality can be like a game character. All values ​​are at full value as soon as they appear on the scene, and this continues until they receive the lunch box.

Xun Chen led part of the cavalry and had a relatively large advantage in the trial battle with Cao's army at Poxia in the past few days. This indeed enhanced Xun Chen's confidence, but it also made Xun Chen neglect some aspects. some problems.

 Although the Cao army’s generals’ flags were flying in the Cao army’s camp down the slope, they were not really Cao’s generals in the camp, and there were not many elite Cao soldiers. And what Xun Chen just said seems to mean that the soldiers of Cao's army in the camp down the **** are equal to all the soldiers of Cao's army in the camp behind them...

Seeing Fei Qian's eyes falling on him, Xun Chen was a little flustered, but he soon adjusted himself. After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "What the lord said is true. I didn't think carefully. It's my fault." The crime is also. Just as the Lord said, Cao Cao's arrangement was a plan. 』

 Okay, the last chapter is "Political Review" again...

 Alas, people always need to eat, it’s not shabby.
