Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3503 Really Strong

November of the ninth year of Taixing.

When thousands of people are in front of you, they will surge like mountains and seas at your command, which will indeed provide a strong stimulation, secrete adrenaline, or some other hormones, and make you excited.

Even though this was not the first time Fei Qian had reviewed the troops.

It is neither a tribute to the captives nor a grand review. After all, it is better not to open champagne at halftime.

It can only be regarded as a demonstration of the results of Fei Qian's intensive training over the past ten to twenty days.

The review took place on the Linzhi Plateau.

On both sides of the reviewing site, one could still smell the smoke and blood from before, and the armor on the soldiers and the swords and guns in their hands seemed to be competing for the light of the sun in the sky.

The infantry was in front and the cavalry was behind.

Flags are waving and war horses are neighing.

Fei Qian walked up to the Tongguan tower and faced the military academy that looked like a sea of ​​mountains.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fei Qian.

If eyes have heat, then Fei Qian should be directly ignited now...

Fei Qian raised his head and spoke each word clearly.

"In the ninth year of Taixing, the enemy has let loose its scorpion tail, and evildoers are rising! They are like thieves with wolf hearts, and they want to cause chaos in Guanzhong!"

"Everyone must be brave and act like a hero, protect your country and take up arms, follow the will of the people and eliminate the enemy army!"

"We, the soldiers, are all heroes of the Nine Provinces! Our officers and soldiers are all heroes of the four seas!"

"But if there is a war, there will be casualties!"

"Some were hit by stray arrows, their souls fell into the netherworld, some were wounded by swords and spears, their spirits returned to the long night. Alas! How sad! "

"The former served, the latter succeeded! The heroic souls turned to the earth, and the hot blood was sacrificed to the heavens!"

"The heroic spirit is still here! Follow my banner!"

"The living have more courage, and the dead have a glorious name!"

"This war is to quell the chaos in the Nine Provinces and bring peace to the four seas!"

"It's not that we want to fight endlessly! We want to use war to bring peace to the world!"

As Fei Qian finished speaking, the army was silent for a moment, and then countless tiny voices gathered together, and then they roared up like a huge wave.

"Open the peace! Open the peace!"

"Long live the cavalry! Long live the cavalry!"

When everything, no matter how insignificant it is, is gathered together and reaches a certain number, it will cause a great shock.

Drops of water become the sea, and sand becomes the desert.

This powerful voice is not the one sung by sword-wielding scholars in brothels and taverns, nor the one of charming and enchanting singing by lovely singing girls under willow bridges. It comes from thousands of warriors who survived the war, bringing with them the cold wind of the desert, the heroism of Longyou, and their passion and blood, roaring out the music of life!

Most of them don't have names, or rather, don't have decent names.

No matter how hard the clerks who record history books try, they cannot leave their names on the green bamboo.

Only in a corner of the history books, in the mottled ink like blood and tears, are there vaguely the 300,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty chasing the enemy northward, the three generations of Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with millions of soldiers working hard to fight against the Hu people, and the countless souls who died under the Jishi Mountain in the Tibetan territory of the Tang Dynasty...

Lu Su was watching the ceremony from the side, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble.

It’s not that Jiangdong is without strong soldiers or brave soldiers, but there are definitely not as many as we see now!

The armor and robes of the soldiers under the command of the cavalry were not very bright and beautiful, but the armor plates with marks left by arrows and swords were still clear even after being polished. The faded robes were still marked with blood and fire on the battlefield even after being mended.

Lu Su looked at them one by one, and the more he looked, the colder he felt. He knew that this was a show of force by the general, but it was indeed very effective, especially for the cavalrymen in the distance, each of them stood straight, using only their legs to control their mounts. What surprised Lu Su even more was that not only were the people standing in a straight line, but even the horses were standing in a straight line!

The following drills made Lu Su even more frightened.

Lu Su also had a general understanding of military affairs. During Zhou Yu's illness, he took over the management of the soldiers on behalf of Zhou Yu. He was also relatively familiar with the various affairs of the soldiers. However, when he saw these hussars, each team seemed to be one person. This kind of neat and uniform posture was definitely not something that could be put together at the last minute.

The Linzhi Plateau was not as smooth as the plastic floors of later generations. Even after being trampled and crushed for a long time, there were still some small stones and large clods of earth. Logically speaking, these things would inevitably affect the neatness of the team, causing a team to suddenly have a piece or a corner missing when marching, as if it had been gnawed by a dog...

But Lu Su saw that even if there was a little fluctuation occasionally, the other people in the queue would coordinate naturally like human limbs!

This comfortable and smooth state may not be as directly shocking as the marching formations of later generations, but it made Lu Su's heart sink.

Because the battlefield can't be flat...

Laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Sun Quan was also surrounded by a group of strong and sturdy guards with shining armor. When it came to posing and raising flags, they were probably better than any of the hussars before him. After all, they were specially selected from thousands of people, all of them were of uniform height. In addition, they were located in pavilions and terraces, so no matter where they stood, they had a fixed position, so their orderliness was also extremely high.

But compared with the Hussars in front of them, there is a huge difference between these people!

No matter how good the display is, what use is it in battle? !

Why were those sons of Jiangdong noble families not afraid of Sun Quan and dared to mock him? In addition to Sun Quan's lack of deterrence, Sun Quan standing outside the hall and the guards in the courtyard were not enough to scare those sons of the noble families!

Even Sun Quan's guards wore sachets, and many of them were given to them by the sons of the noble families...

So how could I be afraid?

There is actually a difference between whether the soldiers and guards have killed anyone or seen blood. Then there is another big difference between whether they have experienced a war or been on the battlefield. Therefore, although the guards under Sun Quan all look equipped with bright armor, they are actually useless. No son of a noble family would be afraid of a pet dog.

Even large pet dogs.

But if it is a dog that may not be big in size, but gets red eyes and bares its teeth when you see it, let alone provoke it, even seeing it from a distance will make you tremble in your heart, and you must find some self-defense weapon first.

These cavalry soldiers in front of him were not all tall and strong. They had dark faces and rough skin. They could not be said to have good looks or beautiful bodies. However, the burning look in these soldiers' eyes as they looked up at the cavalry general Fei Qian made Lu Su feel like a thorn in his back and really uneasy.

On the armor of the hussars, there were traces of bloody battles, and the tricolor flags that proudly waved in the cold wind. Although some were torn and bloodstained, they still stood in front of the ranks, fluttering and guiding countless warriors to follow the flags forward, and forward again...

Lu Su raised his eyes and looked at the General of Cavalry Fei Qian who was on the top of the city wall.

If this cavalryman is a military commander, although he is wearing armor, he does not look very strong. Compared with the guards beside him, he is a little thin. If he is a civil servant, his well-fitting military uniform, the dust on his hair and beard, and his skin tanned by the wind and sun, definitely do not look like those who stay in the official residence all day and use sachets and folding fans at every turn!

But this guy, who was not very strong in martial arts and not very good in literary talent, was leading thousands of troops and defeated the main force of Cao's army with a crushing blow. He became the overlord of the north and was about to conquer the Central Plains!

This world...

Lu Su noticed that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Hussars were still flying the flags of the Great Han, but they were no longer the main guide of the formation. The large and small tricolor flags were the protagonists occupying the entire field of vision. And one more thing, these Hussars were no longer shouting about the Great Han, but only shouting for the Hussars.

Lu Su lowered his eyes and began to ponder in his mind.

……

……

After reviewing the report, Fei Qian summoned Lu Su.

Fei Qian did not put on airs, and even went to the outside of the Tongguan government office to greet Lu Su. This surprised Lu Su, so he got out of the car in a hurry and came to greet him in a proper manner.

The proofreading has been done and the meaning has been conveyed, and that is enough.

Fei Qian felt that if he continued to put on airs, it would be somewhat superfluous, or even foolish enough to make things worse.

When reviewing, the distance was farther and Fei Qian's attention was on the soldiers. Now when he met Lu Su face to face, Fei Qian felt that the later Three Kingdoms game was really unreliable.

This guy Lu Su is actually not short, and is about the same height as Fei Qian.

But not as tall as Guan Erye.

It's above average.

His appearance was not the type that looked honest, on the contrary, it was quite good-looking. No wonder he often traveled around as an envoy in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

The two of them politely gave way to each other and entered the hall.

Fei Qian waited for Lu Su to sit down, looked at the imperial edict handed over by Lu Su, smiled, and put the imperial edict aside.

Lu Su just glanced at the imperial edict and didn't say much.

The current situation is somewhat delicate.

Did Fei Qian disobey the imperial edict?

It seems to be, and it also seems not to be.

Because Fei Qian had indeed broken away from the battle with Cao Cao at that moment.

From this perspective, Fei Qian obeyed the imperial edict, but Lu Su actually knew that Fei Qian was just accumulating strength at this stage and might launch a counterattack at any time, or even send out troops at the next moment, which would be a violation of the imperial edict.

This is like the current emperor of the Han Dynasty. He seems to be the emperor, but he doesn’t seem to be the emperor.

Lu Su sat silently, and seemed not to be prepared to talk to Fei Qian about any righteousness or loyalty.

This is……

Pretending to be honest?

Fei Qian suddenly wanted to laugh.

Could it be that this is how Lu Su’s honest image in the novel came about?

Fei Qian looked at Lu Su and suddenly asked, "I have heard that Zi Jing's family was rich and wealthy. However, when Zi Jing was young, he did not manage his family affairs. He gave away his wealth and sold his land to help the poor and win over the people. He was very popular in the town... I wonder if this is true or not? He is really a young talent!"

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su seems to be a middle-aged greasy man when he first appears. In fact, this is not the case. At this stage, Lu Su is still a young man with a dignified appearance and proper etiquette, which makes people feel good when they see him.

In fact, Fei Qian is only a few years older than Lu Su. Strictly speaking, they should be of the same generation...

But even though Fei Qian called him "Zi Jing", his tone was already directed at the superior.

No one thought there was anything wrong with it. After all, power can offset age. The fifty-year-old office director Wang will always be called Little Wang in the mouth of the thirty-year-old boss...

Lu Su took a breath, "I am a young man who is ignorant and reckless... I am sorry to make you laugh..."

Fei Qian smiled, "I think Zi Jing is thoughtful... hunting in the Nanshan Mountains, secretly commanding the troops, and training the soldiers, how can he be called "ignorant"? But why didn't Zi Jing raise an army at that time, but surrendered to Jiangdong?"

Lu Su raised his head and looked at Fei Qian, "Does the cavalry know if there are Zheng and Zhang in the Jianghuai area?"

Fei Qian nodded, "I know a thing or two."

Zheng means Zheng Bao.

Zhang means Zhang Duo.

There is also Xu Qian. These three people have many people under them.

Zheng Bao was the most powerful and occupied Chaohu Lake. It was said that he had more than 10,000 followers. In addition, the land he was in was quite fertile. At first, he was quite impressive. Therefore, most of the children of poor nobles and the common people in the Lujiang area came to him and he was feared by others.

Lu Su smiled and said with a hint of bitterness: "I was young and lost my way. If I had not distributed my wealth and gathered people, I would have been robbed by Zheng and Zhang!"

Fei Qian nodded again, and then asked: "The world is in chaos, and all four directions are showing off their bravery. Zi Jing has also suffered greatly... If this is the case, why do you support Jiangdong, cede land and stand on equal footing, waiting for the world's provocation?"

When Lu Su heard this, his eyebrows jumped!

This was his advice to Sun Quan!

How did the Cavalry know?

Lu Su was horrified when he thought about it carefully!

At that time, in the hall, apart from him and Sun Quan, the others were Sun's servants...

Sun Quan would definitely not tell these things everywhere, so the only possibility is that there is a spy from the Cavalry among Sun's servants!

Lu Su came to this conclusion almost immediately, but he didn't know that this conclusion was a thousand miles away from the actual truth...

No matter how capable Fei Qian was, he couldn't plant any spies among the servants around Sun Quan. After all, many of those Sun family servants were family-born children, meaning they had followed the Sun family for generations. Some had even followed the head of the Sun family for three generations. Ordinary people couldn't get into the inner hall at all, let alone hear the discussions between Sun Quan and Lu Su.

The reason why Fei Qian knew all this was because these were the answers given by later generations.

Of course, the answers given by later generations may not all be correct, and many of them are fabricated. For example, there is a saying in later generations that Lu Su had a plan to surrender to Zheng Bao, and there is even a saying that Liu Ye persuaded Lu Su to surrender to someone... This is basically definitely false. No matter how short-sighted Lu Su was, he would not go along with Zheng Bao.

In the Three Kingdoms, it seems to be a coincidence, or a necessity, there is a strategic think tank. Not to mention Wei and Shu, many people in Wu thought it was Zhou Yu, but it was not. The relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan was very delicate, and it was better for someone like Lu Su to gain Sun Quan's trust.

For the Wu Kingdom in history, Lu Su was even more important than Zhou Yu. This was because Lu Su was not only able to propose strategies, but also able to adjust them at any time. He was not bound by one place or one path. A typical example is that in Lu Su's initial strategy, he originally planned to divide the world into two, occupy the south of the Yangtze River, and then compete with Cao Cao...

Of course, this strategy might have been proposed by Zhou Yu, or discussed by Zhou Yu and Lu Su. However, Zhou Yu died young, so naturally the blame fell on Lu Su.

When Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, Lu Su knew that Liu Biao could take it, so he boldly proposed a strategy of dividing the world into two. But when half of Jingzhou was occupied by Liu Bei, Lu Su quickly realized that this new force was unstoppable and thought that he could only win it over and not attack it by force. So he immediately revised his strategy and persuaded Sun Quan to ally with Liu Bei to fight against Cao.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng were both poisoned by the idea of ​​dividing the world into two, and Sun Quan was a wavering person who could not let go of the immediate interests. As a result, Sun Quan was inconsistent in his later years. If he could not beat Cao Cao today, he would go to Liu Bei to steal some food tomorrow. After backstabbing Guan Yu, Wu and Shu completely broke off relations. Facing Liu Bei's army, Sun Quan had to pretend to be a grandson and bow down to Cao Pi. Even Zhang Zhao, who advocated surrender before the Battle of Chibi, could not stand Sun Quan's face.

It is difficult for a person to admit his mistakes, and too many people will choose to go down one path to the end.

For Sun Quan, the idea of ​​controlling the entire Yangtze River was too tempting, so he always kept thinking about it. However, Lu Su was able to foresee the impracticability of his own strategy, and decisively gave up his original idea and immediately chose a more optimized direction. It has to be said that this was Lu Su's brilliance. This kind of vision and overall view was enough to make him look down on the heroes of Jiangdong.

This kind of vision can actually be seen from the fact that Fei Qian initially praised Lu Su for giving away his money.

The elders in Lu Su's hometown at that time could not understand the intention of Lu Su's behavior. They all said that the Lu family would be doomed if they had a prodigal son like Lu Su! They didn't know that in troubled times, having money but no strength is just fat meat on the chopping board. And even if Lu Su summoned a youth group, he was still targeted...

Later, these events were described in history books as if Zhou Yu and Lu Su admired each other, but Fei Qian felt that it was more likely that after the two sides met, they just fell in love with each other!

Don’t think that Lu Su’s fighting power is low and he can deceive people by wearing the clothes of a clerk. In fact, this guy can draw a hard bow and can shoot an arrow through the oars and shields directly!

At least he is better than Fei Qian, who is a worthless fighter...

So Lu Su is really strong in all aspects.

The reason why Fei Qian used words to bully Lu Su was actually that he wanted to keep Lu Su.

If Lu Su could really be left in Guanzhong, Jiangdong would almost be like someone who had lost an arm and half of his brain!

But can this really happen as Fei Qian wishes?
