Chapter 3529: Sharpening the Knife Does Not Delay the Chopping of Wood

Chapter 3528 Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood

These two days, the northern part of Guanzhong is busy with spring plowing.

As a traditional agricultural country, the success or failure of spring plowing is almost related to the future of this year or even next year.

Everything must give way to spring plowing.

Even if Cao's army showed weakness and seemed to be able to win in one go, Fei Qian was still not overwhelmed by victory. He still issued orders in an orderly manner to get the entire Guanzhong organization up and running quickly, first doing the relevant work of agricultural production, and then considering how to advance.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

Many people understand this sentence, but when it is their turn, they often rush to do certain things and forget other things. In the end, it happens that these temporarily forgotten things become stumbling blocks to their success.

Fei Qian is sharpening the knife now.

The soldiers' anxiety was gradually wiped out at Tongguan.

Fei Qian's method is very simple, that is, to directly compete with the entire army and personally award those ordinary soldiers with strong skills.

The prizes don't have to be particularly generous, but the effect is very good.

When people find out that there are always people better than them, they will naturally stop being proud.

After not being proud and impatient, many things will go smoothly.

Fei Qian personally sat in Tongguan and sent messengers to the surrounding areas.

In the north, he urged Hedong to thoroughly restore production and resettle personnel in Anyi before the river melted, and to unite with Pingyang to do a good job in treating the herdsmen in Yinshan in the north.

In the west, Hu cavalry were drawn from Longyou and the Western Regions to Guanzhong for training as a supplementary force for the cavalry losses during this period. These Hu cavalry cannot be sent to the battlefield directly and impatiently. They must be split and rebuilt before these Hu cavalry can be transformed from a chaotic state into an orderly force.

In Wuguan, Fei Qian ordered Liao Hua to lead his troops to the south of Jingzhou and make a gesture of fighting with Cao's army at Danshui in Jingzhou.

On the other hand, Fei Qian also ordered Jia Kui of Shangdang to lead troops to test Taixing Road and prepare to attack Henei County.

Another point is that the reconstruction of the battlefield intelligence information transmission system is also the focus of Fei Qian's work in recent times.

The previous pigeons have almost flown away, and now new pigeons need to be delivered again.

As the only information system in the Han Dynasty that is faster than the 800-li express, it is actually very limited, and there is also a limit on the number of uses. In the previous stage of the battle, most of the pigeons have been used up and urgently need to be replenished.

As the supreme commander of the entire Guanzhong political group, Fei Qian must also deal with the corruption reported by the Ministry of News during this period, and send the secretary of the General's Mansion to jointly arrest and try the Dali Temple.

Corruption is something that cannot be avoided as long as it is a bureaucratic system.

It is not that Fei Qian is so open-minded or smart that he can avoid this situation, nor is it that the country is so critical and the nation is so miserable that these corrupt officials will restrain themselves. In fact, this thing is like a fungus parasitic on the political system and organization of the country. If it is not cleaned up for a period of time, it will spread.

Even if some people's heads are chopped off and dangling on the top of the city, even if one person's corruption brings disaster to the whole family, there are still people who can't help their greed and can't control their hands, and then cry and say that they can't control themselves when they are caught...

As for whether there will be some misunderstandings and false accusations in this process, Fei Qian can't control it for the time being. After all, it is a wartime state now, and the problem can only be handled as cleanly as possible. Even if some people are killed by mistake, they can only wait until after the war for follow-up investigation.

The top priority is to win this war.

And the coordination problem of multiple battlefields facing Fei Qian is still a troublesome thing.

This military intelligence transmission system and command system are a great test for every general who commands a battle of more than 10,000 people on a vast battlefield!

The attack from Shangdang in Hedong to Henei and the expedition from Wuguan and Hanzhong to Jingzhou are relatively close, so Fei Qian is more or less confident. However, Zhao Yun's troops in the north of Jizhou and Youyan are basically out of touch.

A message was sent ten days and a half a month ago. Fei Qian is not a god, so he doesn't know what happened in the past ten days and a half a month. He can only deduce and predict. Moreover, even if the information is transmitted, it is impossible for the information to be comprehensive. There may be errors in deduction and misjudgment, so we must be cautious.

If Wei Yan and Zhao Yun meet, I don't know what will happen to Jibei?

The last report by Zhao Yun said that there was heavy snow in Youzhou, and the snow blocked the roads and crushed the houses. I don't know what the situation is now?

The limitations of the times are here. There are no telephones or telegraphs.

Transportation basically relies on walking, and communication basically relies on shouting.

Even though he has deeply integrated into this era, Fei Qian still can't help but miss the future at some point. Although those memories have faded, every time he commands such cross-regional operations, he still wishes he had some long-distance walkie-talkies...

Youzhou itself has been severely damaged, and coupled with the large number of Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's garrison soldiers, it is very difficult to transport them from Taihang Mountain or Yinshan Mountain, which makes Zhao Yun have to solve this problem in Youzhou. However, if it is not handled well and chaos occurs, even if Youzhou and Jizhou are taken in the future, there will be troubles.

The phrase that Fei Qian hates the most is "believe in the wisdom of future generations" in everything.

If the predecessors were really limited by the times and technology, and had no choice, then it is understandable. After all, it is like talking about Tiangong-1 with the ancient ancestors, which is definitely incomprehensible to the ancient people. However, in some cases, knowing that it can be handled better, but because of short-term interests or the selfishness of some people, they use such excuses to leave a mess for future generations, just like not wanting to spend money on sewage treatment and discharging it into the sea in the name of future generations' wisdom.

Although Fei Qian is still very worried about Zhao Yun, he still has a lot of things to do and a lot of things to deal with. There is really no room for him to breathe and relax.

After all, this change in front of him will profoundly change the future of the entire Han Dynasty!

Every change is made by countless flesh and blood souls!

Fei Qian could only calm down and repeatedly plan, deduce, estimate, and rehearse with Pang Tong about the future that was about to appear...

...

...

A team of cavalry, spewing white smoke and trampling on the remaining snow, galloped through the valley.

The horse hooves raised the remaining snow and splashed it everywhere.

On both sides of the trampled road, there were refugees entering Youbeiping from Liaoxi and Liaodong.

These refugees, carrying the elderly and children, hid on both sides of the road when the troops passed by. Some people looked at the passing cavalry numbly, while others excitedly shouted to their companions, "Look! This is our Han cavalry!"

Zhao Yun did encounter difficulties in Youzhou as Fei Qian expected.

However, Zhao Yun did not rob the Han people in Jizhou because of the lack of food and grass. Instead, he took another approach and set his sights on Liaoxi and Liaodong, and even Xuantu and Lelang, which were farther away.

Because of Fei Qian's influence, the fourth of the three kingdoms, Gongsun Kingdom, which was originally entrenched in Liaodong and Liaoxi, has been destroyed in Lelang. Even if there are still some remnants of the Gongsun clan, they are no longer a force to be reckoned with. From a certain perspective, Gongsun and Fei Qian are also hostile, but this does not mean that Zhao Yun can calmly watch the land that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty being occupied by the Hu people.

In the current Lelang area, the Goguryeo regime is growing stronger. After seeing the Xianbei Wuhuan Dingling and others defeat Gongsun, they also began to invade the counties established by the Han Dynasty on the peninsula.

Hostile relations are hostile relations. Several generals in the Youzhou Liaodong area have a tough attitude towards the Hu people in the northern desert and the Goguryeo people on the peninsula. Anyone who dares to erode the territory of the Han Dynasty and kill the Han people will be directly attacked without hesitation.

At some point, the relationship between these generals and the Hu people would be slightly eased, but most of them were just to use the Hu people, and never really accepted the Hu people. This also brought more problems and deepened the gap between the Hu people and the Han people.

If Zhao Yun was given ten or twenty years, it is possible that Zhao Yun could deal with Liaodong affairs just like he appeased and divided the Hu tribes in Mobei, but now Zhao Yun has no time. Another more important reason is that Zhao Yun’s army and Youzhou need supplies, but they cannot be transported from the rear. What should we do?

The black soil in Liaodong is very suitable for farming. Even if it is only one season, the fertile soil will give every hardworking Han people full rewards, and the fruits of these Han people’s labor have become the coveted objects of the Hu people in the mountains or the fishing and hunting wanderers. Therefore, the Han people in Liaodong have actually been hurt by these Hu people all the time, and these Hu people who hurt the Han people have not received a profound lesson. They often come once, are repelled, and wait for a period of time before they come back again.

The cavalry of this army galloped, rolling up the remaining snow on the roadside, shouting and neighing, and each one was brave. Although the cavalry had some fatigue on their faces, everyone was in high spirits. Even if you just stand by the roadside and take a simple look, you can know that the cavalry, from people to horses, are full of fighting spirit, as if they can't wait to rush to the most tragic battlefield and then fight happily!

These Han refugees from Liaodong and Liaoxi have actually endured a lot of pain. They have lost their expectations and trust in the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, but they didn't expect to see such a high-spirited and full-spirited army at this moment, which is somewhat surprising and puzzled.

The Han refugees closer to Youbeiping are relatively better than those refugees in Liaoxi and Liaodong, although they are also fleeing. Some people even have carts with some of their own belongings piled on them. The Han people living near Youbeiping also knew more about the Han cavalry. When they saw the puzzled looks of the other refugees, they shouted with pride, "These are the troops of our Han people! The Hussars! Did you know? Our Han people have a new Hussar! This is his army! They are different from the previous ones! They defeated the Hu people. The Xianbei and Wuhuan were all defeated by them! '

'What? Can they beat the Hu people? '

'Of course! Look, look at their flags, three colors! Three! The Han people used to have only two colors, but this is three! One more! It must be stronger! '

'Oh oh...'

Let's not talk about whether the Han refugees who fled Liaodong and Liaoxi have a correct basis for judging their combat effectiveness, but for Gan Feng, it is really very happy, as if every cell in his body is singing in the cold wind!

The spring in Liaodong and Liaoxi is still quite cold, but for Gan Feng and others, their blood is boiling and they can't wait to flatten the Hu people's royal court!

Some time ago, Gan Feng was very depressed.

Because Zhao Yun was busy dealing with civil affairs before, there were not many military actions. Moreover, in the heavy snow, even if you want to do any military action, it is extremely difficult. Gan Feng is really not good at this aspect. Even if he tries to do it reluctantly, there is always a situation where he can do bad things with good intentions, so he can only keep it to himself, with all the strength in his body, but he can't use it!

This time Zhao Yun asked Gan Feng to lead his troops to fight in Liaodong, which was just like a runaway Husky, wagging his tongue and rushing!

For Zhao Yun, the Northern Territory Cavalry Army was both respectful and fearful, and did not dare to despise his still young age. I just admire Fei Qian's vision. How could he promote such a person from the humble Yanshan Army? !

With more respect, they lost some intimacy, while Gan Feng, who was always carefree, was more approachable to ordinary soldiers.

However, some people thought that Gan Feng, with such a rough character, would be negligent and ruin the big things as a general of the detachment attacking Liaodong. As a result, Gan Feng's performance exceeded many people's expectations. He first led the vanguard to raid Liaoxi and conquered several counties in succession, and then chased the Hu people's retreating footsteps all the way to Liaodong!

At the same time, Gan Feng did not forget Zhao Yun's instructions. Not only did he send personnel to send the captured Hu people and the Hu people's cattle and sheep to Youbeiping, he also sent people to search for Han people who were hiding in the mountains in these areas to avoid war disasters.

Plundering the assets of the people of Jizhou, even if they are enemies with Jizhou at this stage, still makes people feel a little inappropriate, but launching a cleanup of the Hu tribes that have occupied the land of the Han people is something that all Han people applaud!

The cattle and sheep of the Hu people alleviated the food shortage of the Northern Territory Army. At the same time, the Hu people also supplemented the lack of labor in Youbeiping. These refugees from Liaodong and Liaoxi also restored the spring plowing in Youbeiping...

We can't let these professional and semi-professional soldiers of the Huqi Army put down their swords and pick up hoes, right?

Now Youbeiping is hot, but the population needs more food and grass than before, and the gap is bigger, which in turn requires Gan Feng to find new breakthroughs and get the latest supplements!

"Report! Hu troops are found ahead! I'm afraid it's the vanguard of the Hu brigade! '

When Gan Feng led the troops forward, a soldier rushed over and reported loudly.

The large number of Han refugees moved, like a moving piece of meat, attracting vultures that eat carrion.

These vultures are Dingling people.

The Xianbei fell, the Wuhuan was defeated, but the Dingling people hiding on the side were fattened.

The Dingling people were not the yellow bird, they just happened to meet the pigs in the wind.

The whistling wind from the northern desert brought by the cavalry army came, and the pigs who happened to be in the wind ate the food that fell to their mouths.

For the pigs, it was difficult for them to understand why they could fly suddenly, and they didn't know why so many delicacies fell around them, which made them even have an illusion that they had evolved! They had special abilities! They thought they had become the masters of the world, and they could fly if they wanted to, and they could eat if they wanted to!

So when they found that a large number of Han refugees came out of their hiding places in the mountains and gathered together to move towards Youbeiping, these Dingling people thought that food had fallen to their mouths again!

Eat!

Fat!

Fly!

On the hilly line in the east, dozens of scouts of the miscellaneous Hu were whistling towards Gan Feng and others.

Beside these miscellaneous Hu, many Han refugees were chased and cried and ran around.

These barbarians laughed and waved their swords and throwing ropes, just like tying up a stray animal. When they saw a Han refugee, they threw the throwing rope over, and then tied him up and threw him on the horse's back...

They were so happy that they didn't even notice that Gan Feng's troops appeared at the mountain pass.

Gan Feng did not lead the team to attack immediately, but reined in the warhorse and threw the reins to the guards, "Everyone, quickly form a team! Wash the warhorse, clean the mud and snow, and feed it with beans! Be ready for battle at any time! '

'Yes! ' The guards answered loudly and immediately passed the order down.

After running for a long distance, the warhorse will inevitably be a little tired, and the body and legs will be stained with mud and snow. If it is not cleaned in time, it will cause the subsequent combat to be like running in a pair of muddy boots, doubling the physical strength of the warhorse.

Timely replenishment of beans is also to restore the physical strength of the warhorse, just like a bite of energy bar when climbing and cross-country, which can support walking more than ten miles and successfully escape from the dangerous no-man's land!

This is Gan Feng's rough but meticulous performance. Even if the enemy is right in front of him, sharpening the knife will not delay the work of chopping wood!

Whether it is chopping wood or chopping heads!

Gan Feng climbed up the rocks beside him in a few steps and stood on the small platform on the rocks to look out.

The cavalry of the Hu people in the distance has appeared on the horizon, like a mess of spots, or like a blood-sucking flea, jumping on the gray and black horizon.

"Oh, there are quite a lot of them!"

Gan Feng smiled.

"General! They are numerous. Should we wait for the follow-up troops to come up before attacking?"

The guard on the side suggested.

"Wait for the follow-up troops?" Gan Feng's eyes rolled, "I just thought of a way..."
