Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1394 Status
In the north of Taiyuan, Jinyang Shanzhai.

This cottage was just completed not long ago, because it saves the process of mining and transporting rocks, and only needs to be directly poured with inferior concrete like building a Yinshan cottage, so both the construction speed and the time required have been greatly improved. Not a lot.

And although the overall solidity may not be as strong as a cottage built purely with stone strips and stones, poor-quality concrete mixed with steel is not so easy to deal with.

Even the houses and walls inside the cottage are poured together, which looks gray-black and slightly rough, showing an architectural style that is very different from the blue brick and loess of the Han Dynasty.

Liu He was very curious about everything in front of him.

Xian Yuyin, who was following Liu He, also turned his head to the left and to the right for a while, if he didn't see General Zhengxi's soldiers still on the side, he might have touched it with his hands.

Xian Yufu led the team outside the stronghold, Liu He brought Xian Yuyin and a few guards to the stronghold to meet the commander of the stronghold, General Zhengxi's subordinate Duwei, Shang Yao.

Shang Yao is from Taiyuan and is known for his bravery. He performed well in the year-end martial arts competition in the army before, and was promoted to be the commander of a Jinyang cottage. He manages three or four hundred people, which is not too big or small. of military duty.

After Shang Yao learned that Liu He was Liu Yu, he brought people to Zhengxi, so he was more polite. He not only invited Liu He to a banquet, but also sent some supplies to Xianyu Fu outside the cottage. Wait for someone to send it.Of course, for the sake of safety, Shang Yao would not open the door to accept him, or let him go directly. Instead, he would not let Liu He and others go together until the troops that Jinyang came to join him came up.

Anyway, the fast horse has already been dispatched, and sooner or later it will only be a matter of a day or two, so Liu He doesn't feel that there is anything to worry about, just in time to learn about the current situation of General Zhengxi with Shang Yao...

"General Zhengxi's grace, I also have this false captain's report, although there are fewer people in charge now, but as long as they accumulate military merits and return to the county town, at least they can manage a thousand-man army in a serious manner. Sima!" Shang Yao, a guy from the Northwest, has a straightforward personality, and Liu He asked about his own pride, so he laughed like a bean in a bamboo tube, and said, "It's right to come to Zhengxi Look at these equipment, look at my armor, if it is in other places, only generals can have it! The most important thing is that during the expedition to the west, the food and payment will never be deducted!"

"Really?" Liu He was a little surprised, and couldn't help blurting out, "There is no general... that..." After talking halfway, he felt something was wrong. After all, Shang Yao was considered a young general, so he quickly changed his words, " Didn't the Chinese officials in the army do something?"

"They dare!" Shang Yao said, "Twice a year, whether it's summer clothes and winter fur, or the money and food for the family, there are fixed numbers, see? This..." Shang Yao pulled out the military rank badge from his collar, Showing off to Liu He, "It's all written on it, you can get as much as you want for any rank, and there will be no less!"

Of course, the quantity will not be bad, but there will be some differences in quality, such as sand and gravel, new and old, etc., but these are more or less within the default range. Yes, but if it goes too far and is discovered by the inspectors who patrol the west, then it will definitely end up being cut in half.

In the Han Dynasty, the punishment for corrupt persons was generally very heavy. Even if the amount was small, they would have engravings on their faces, which could not be washed away for a lifetime. If it was serious, they would basically be cut in half.In the army, it is even more severe, so as long as most of them are found, they will die, so overall, the deterrent effect is still quite strong, but people always have greed, so some people will always take risks.

In theory, of course we should not give anyone a chance to become corrupt, because human nature cannot stand the test, but the problem is that it is now the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to centralize information, so it is necessary to decentralize authority.

Liu He couldn't help but exchanged glances with Xian Yufu.

Not to mention other things, the matter of food and salary has always been the reins in the hands of the superiors. Basically, it is not enough. Even the generals under his command have confidantes and ordinary troops. It is easy to understand if the confidantes are enough. However, it is obviously impossible for the person guarding the cottage to be a direct descendant, and they can also pay enough food and salaries. The quality of the food may be poor, but as long as the quantity of soldiers’ salaries and coins is correct, it is naturally impossible to make a difference. Use uniform Zhengxi coins.

Unknowingly, Liu He's favor towards General Zhengxi has increased a lot, maybe this time he came here, it was really the right time...

"Report! Someone from Jinyang is here! It's Chen Lingjun who came in person!"

Shang Yao clapped his hands and said, "Liu Langjun, Chen Lingjun is here, shall we go to meet him together?"

Liu He nodded and said, "Naturally." Since he came to vote, of course he couldn't always put on airs, and in Liu He's heart, there was also a little bit more expectation.

....................................

Shangdang Huguan.

The early morning mist covers the surrounding fields, hazy, just like the current situation, it seems that something can be seen, but it can't be seen clearly, many details are covered up, even if I try to open my eyes wide, I still feel a little chaotic.

Jia Qu looked in the direction of Huguan Daying, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, Wen Yuan... is very affectionate..." Jia Qu didn't mean to speak ill of Zhang Liao, but just reminded Fei Qian that people always There are some emotional changes, and among these emotions, sometimes they may not be rational.

Fei Qian cast his eyes on Huguan, and when the sky was getting brighter, many peasants had already gathered, repairing the surrounding area, repairing the city wall, and busy preparing for the next big battle. Hearing Jia Qu's words, he slightly closed his eyes. Received, said: "Wen Yuan is a smart man..."

Smart people don't mean they won't do stupid things, but smart people must understand the rules better.In terms of probability, the probability of smart people doing stupid things is relatively low, and they are easier to judge. On the contrary, most of the things that stupid people do seem to be unexpected.

Sunk costs can probably draw a dividing line between smart people and stupid people.

Lu Bu is now reluctant to part with his sunk costs.Before, he was Wenhou, General Fenwu, and a well-known figure in the majestic Han Dynasty, but now these halos and glory have sunk like cargo thrown into the sea. Of course, these are a kind of loss , but if you never forget and cannot face up to these sunk costs, it will inevitably affect the correct choice at the moment.

Smart people should eliminate the interference of sunk costs and make decisions based on the current situation, while foolish people are often affected by sunk costs and are unable to decide to miss good opportunities or make more wrong choices.Just like various lottery tickets, there are many people who believe in various analysis methods and various calculation modes. They stare at the data graph every day. In fact, if some discordant factors such as cheating are excluded, purely according to mathematical theory Generally speaking, in fact, each result has nothing to do with all the previous data, and it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to try to find a decisive rule in it.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Liao's mentality is more positive, and he will not worry about gains and losses, so it is easier to make the right choice.

If Lu Bu is allowed to lead Bingzhou, can he really do better than Fei Qian?
When it comes to future development, will Lu Bu have an advantage over Fei Qian?
Fei Qian gave Zhang Liao a certain amount of trust, and asked Zhang Liao to go to Lv Bu to make a safety valve. It was also in consideration of the eventuality. It was better to open the safety valve to release the flood before it expanded, than to finally collapse the dam. many.

And this safety valve is not just Zhang Liao.

Jia Qu saw that Fei Qian had made up his mind, so he stopped repeating. After all, Jia Qu was just a reminder, so as not to fail to fulfill his responsibilities in case of any changes, but Jia Qu actually thought that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were not very good Same.So when Zhang Liao led his troops to leave Shangdang and go to Taiyuan according to Fei Qian's orders, Jia Qu did not express much objection.

What Jia Qu was worried about was the entire defense system of Huguan. Without Zhang Liao, it would inevitably be somewhat weak...

In fact, the whole of Shanxi seems to be very big, but in fact, in the Han Dynasty with relatively low productivity, there can only be two key points, one is the Taiyuan area, the other is the Shangdang area, and Huguan is the entire Shangdang highland defense focus.

The county seat and passes of Huguan were the main points of competition during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Qin and Zhao had repeatedly competed in this area, so it must be the focus of Yuan Shao's march.It controls a number of roads, leading to Taiyuan in the north, east to the west, Hanoi in the south, and Jizhou in the east. It is an extremely important strategic goal.

Therefore, the focus of Yuan Shao's army's attack must be placed here, and it can only be placed here.

"Unfortunately, the weather in early spring is humid, and there is a lot of rain in the mountains, so this strategy of attacking with fire is useless..." Fei Qian said with some regret.After all, the words "water, fire and ruthlessness" have always been a big killer, so it's a pity that they can't be used now.

However, apart from water and fire, there are many things that are not mentioned in the book of war, and not many people will notice...

....................................

On the road leading to Yecheng, teams of people and horses were gathering from Youzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, which made Yuan Shao feel as if he was going to climb up and be followed by thousands of people.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's heart was filled with high spirits.

Although there is not much difference between what he saw and what he saw last year, Yuan Shao, who has already wiped out a confidant Gongsun Zan, naturally thinks that after he has mastered a large area of ​​Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou, he has basically achieved it. The grand strategic conception when he was in Luoyang.

In fact, Yuan Shao's idea was just to imitate the old way of Emperor Guangwu, first rule the north, then sweep the south, and then attack Guanzhong to rule the world.

Now, it can be said that the area from the north of Dahe to Youzhou already belongs to Yuan Shao's own territory. Regardless of the township or county, the Yuan family's banner is also hung high on the city gate and gathered in Yecheng. , There are not only teams of troops, but also columns of chariots and horses.

In order to allow these heavy vehicles to be transported more smoothly, civilian workers have been dispatched early on to maintain the roads on several important roads. From a distance, some civilian workers can be seen carrying loads and filling soil, crushing the official roads. The road surface was leveled again.

All of this is under certain control!

Yuan Shao climbed up and looked at it, his heart was surging, and he felt a little elated.

Looking back on the past, the horse came out of Luoyang, went to Jizhou for a long distance, moved around under Han Fu, and finally grabbed the seal of Jizhou Mu, and then fought all the way, and almost fell under Gongsun's knife at the boundary bridge. Such bloody battles, recalling them now, seem like dreams and illusions.

Once upon a time, he was ostracized by the Yuan family and even reviled by his own uncle, but now, he is in a high position, and with a wave of his hand, countless people follow him, and the guy in the south who is valued by his uncle, what status does he have now?

It's just lingering!

At the beginning when Yuan Shao took the north and Yuan Shu took the south, the two brothers had the idea of ​​fighting each other. They even had similar actions. One attacked Youzhou in the north, and the other turned to attack Yangzhou. It's just that Yuan Shu felt like he was imitating .But now, Yuan Shao can be considered to have initially pacified the entire Northeast, while Yuan Shu is still battered and has yet to gain a firm foothold in the South.

The envoys sent to communicate with Sun Ce have already set off. If Sun Ce can be won over, even if Sun Ce hesitates for a moment, Yuan Shu will definitely lose...

Yuan Shao even imagined that if one day Yuan Shu surrendered, Yuan Shao would definitely stand here, let Yuan Shu walk from the city step by step, and then kneel under the city gate!

At that time, in the whole world, who else can stop Yuan's upward climb!

Ok?
General Zhengxi?

Now that the three forces are advancing together, the total strength can reach [-] troops. If civilian husbands and others are included, there are at least [-] to [-] people, which is enough to be called a million!
How can General Zhengxi stop it!

I'm afraid that once the news gets out, Taiyuan Shangdang will definitely be in a mess, and it might just give up on the wind.

However, Yuan Shao's good interest was soon disturbed by Guo Tu.

"Duke Ming, there is too much difference in the number of these folks..." Guo Tu took a booklet and reported, "...As of today, there should be more than [-] people, but now there are only less than [-]... "

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Guo Tu said in a low voice: "I asked Tian Gong yesterday... Tian Gong said yes..."

"What did Yuan Hao say?" Yuan Shao asked, "Don't worry, just say it!"

"The Tian Gong's office is about to start spring plowing, so it's not advisable to deploy too many civilians. You can deploy them after the spring plowing..." Guo Tu bowed his head and said in a low voice.

The muscles on Yuan Shao's cheeks twitched, and a nameless anger rose unconsciously...
