Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian looked at Xu Huang and kept thinking. The tent became silent for a moment.

It has to be said that Xu Huang is a smart man. He knew that Fei Qian would not be punished after winning, but he was worried that Fei Qian would write down the matter in a small book and settle accounts later, so he expressed it first. His own attitude of admitting his mistake, and then to some extent debunk the matter.

If you are a relatively stupid person, you will either come to claim credit, or you will act as if nothing happened. Such behavior is relatively inappropriate for those in power.

If orders are issued from above, they will naturally be withdrawn from above.

I have to say that Xu Huang was quite thoughtful.

But Xu Huang is not the extremely smart type.

If you are like Xu Shu, I am afraid that you already have many follow-up plans before taking action, and then come to Fei Qian with these plans, and each of these plans must be very practical and can be used before things start. , Fei Qian's attention was successfully diverted first, and there was no longer any suspicion of such arbitrary power.

And now, facing Xu Huang like this, what is the most appropriate way to deal with it?

If Xu Huang is held accountable, it will inevitably damage some morale. Ordinary soldiers will not understand the involvement. They will definitely find it strange why they still have to be punished after winning?

If we don't process it, does that mean we can still do it next time? If you go up the mountain too much, you will always encounter tigers. If you are not subject to military orders abroad, it does not mean that you can mix your own personal goals into the overall plan.

"...The Xu family," Fei Qian was silent for a while, but did not immediately ask Xu Huang to stand up, but said, "Are you already so eager for merit?"

Xu Huang was stunned and kowtowed silently.

That's right, Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal.

As a general, if you don't have enough meritorious service, how can you convince the soldiers and how can you get high-ranking officials and generous salaries?

Just like here in the North, some people may know the reputation of Ma Yan and Maduliao, but how many people know Xu Huang and Xu Gongming of the Xu family?

A general's fame has always been achieved on horseback, but under the hooves of his horse, there are often bones.

Fei Qian stood up and helped Xu Huang up again, then pointed to the place where the parchment once hung in the big tent and said, "Gongming, do you remember the map I hung here before?"

"...Remember your humble position." Xu Huang said.

Fei Qian nodded and said: "This world is so big that you and I can hardly imagine it. There is nothing beyond the mountains and seas. In addition to the land of China, sailing to the east and sailing to the sea, there are many islands rich in gold and silver; to the south, there are many islands rich in gold and silver. Beyond the jungle, there is fertile land with two or even three crops a year; to the west, straight across the Western Regions, and over the mountains with snow all year round, is a vast land that is said to flow with milk and honey; to the north, there is no At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, which is just around the corner, there are large areas of fertile black soil and dense forests to the north of Liaodong..."

This time Fei Qian said it more clearly than last time, and even said something specific.

Xu Huang raised his head and listened carefully, showing a look of yearning.

Fei Qian continued slowly: "Of course, these lands may be occupied by barbarians or other countries. They are not completely unclaimed lands. There are naturally their armies in these places... If Gongming is willing to take charge, Soldiers and horses can open up new territories and achieve unparalleled fame. There are plenty of opportunities, so there is no need to rush."

Whether it is conquest or colonization, the role of the army is naturally indispensable, so of course the generals who command the army are also indispensable.

For Xu Huang or most people, they can only see these things in front of them, and they can only feel some things around them. This cannot be said to be Xu Huang's problem. It is just that people in the Han Dynasty, except perhaps Fei Except for one person, no one realizes that there is no high enough world view outside this natural Gu basin.

"So, Gongming, it's not that I don't care about the lives of my soldiers, I just feel that it's not worth it in such a situation..." Fei Qian said, "The world is huge, with one more power of China and one more soldier of China, maybe it will Being able to go to other areas to gain more profits and control more land... Coupled with the current turmoil in the court and the disputes among the three auxiliaries of Heluo, these capable soldiers are getting fewer and fewer, and the refugees are becoming more and more weak. It’s better to save more trained soldiers than to start from scratch, right?”

Xu Huang lowered his head slightly, was silent for a while, then raised his hands and said: "I am humble enough to be taught, and I am willing to ask the lieutenant to punish you."

Xu Huang requested for the third time.

Although he spoke while standing this time, he was more sincere.

Fei Qian patted Xu Huang on the shoulder, waved his hand, smiled, and said: "Whether you are punished or not is just a formality, it is not important. What is important is that you really know how to do it, Gongming... This matter I don’t need to mention it, but speaking of it, Gongming’s strategy of luring the enemy with weak troops and driving Hu Qi into a car formation is also remarkable. I think it can become a model of combat and be put in the martial arts hall to attract more people. Studying and thinking, I wonder if Gongming is willing to record the events before and after this battle for future generations to study?"

Just kidding, how could he not be punished?

The martial arts hall is the staff conference room where Fei Qian works in Pingyang.

However, there are many forms of punishment. Using whips and sticks is just a temporary pain in the flesh, while fines and the like are not painful or itchy. It is better to just hang up Xu Huang's fighting process and let it go. If people conduct targeted research, they will naturally discover what Fei Qian wants to achieve.

At that time, this will be more effective than whipping or demotion or fines. As long as this battle is held in the Pingyang Lecture Hall for a day, Xu Huang will definitely be alert for a day.

But now Xu Huang has not thought of such a long time, and is still a little happy. Whether he is a scholar or a soldier, if his deeds can be written down and passed down, he will naturally feel a sense of happiness, and of course there will be no words of disagreement. …

He encouraged Xu Huang a few more words and asked him to take charge of the final matters of the battle. Fei Qian looked at Xu Huang's retreating back with a smile, but then he remembered that he actually had to thank Xu Huang in some way this time.

Blindly pursuing the famous generals in memory may not be a reliable behavior. In addition, taking it for granted that these famous generals will be alert and calm and make no mistakes is also an overly ideal perception...

In this way, martial arts halls should really be opened!

The General Staff Headquarters is still quite important.

In Fei Qian's original idea, the Jiangwu Hall was the function of the general staff headquarters. However, when Jia Qu arrived at Huguan, Xu Shu had to stay in Pingyang and take charge while he led the team northward. This meant that there was no one in charge of the Jiangwu Hall. In addition, there are many variables in this trip north, so there is no overall plan like the last battle with Xianbei. Although a combat meeting was held in the camp, it was only to unify the overall thinking on the overall situation. For specific combat steps, It was still relatively vague, which led Xu Huang to deal with the problems he faced according to his own ideas.

Fei Qian has a headache again. After all, he still has a small manpower. There are only a few generals and a few civil servants. The foundation is really weak. However, this situation should change soon... …

In fact, there are many things in history. We only see one side, but we may not understand the other side... Just like Ma Su and Wang Ping... We only see Ma Su's willfulness, but we may not be able to see the role Wang Ping played in it. ...Wang Ping, whose courtesy name was Zijun, was from Danqu, Brazil. Originally raised by his mother's family, the He family, and later renamed Wang. Following Du Yi and Pu Hu, he went to Luoyang and became a fake school captain. From Cao Gong's expedition to Hanzhong, he surrendered to his ancestors and paid homage to General Yamen and General Pi... A former surrendered general strongly suggested that Ma Di, who had few soldiers, should take charge of the camp and set up a camp. If you don't have the God's perspective of future generations, is it better to listen or not?
