Chapter 1092 Tell the whole story
Zhu Ji, who had been traveling most of the Han Dynasty, thought that he would pay Feng Mingwen a surprise visit and force him to personally accept the matter of learning cavalry warfare.
However, he did not expect that after a conversation, Feng Junhou, who was rumored to be the reincarnation of the Ghost King, was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
There was no evasiveness as expected, he just took the initiative to ask what kind of riding combat method he wanted to learn.
What kind of ambition is this?
Zhu Ju suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were too taken for granted and he had misunderstood Feng Junhou.
What people say is scary, but what they say is really scary!
When he thought this, he felt a little embarrassed:
"Before the kings, Wei Jing was known as the best cavalry in the world, and his cavalry was so sharp that no one could stop it."
“However, in the battle of Xiaoguan, the prince was able to break through Cao Zhen’s 100,000 army with three thousand armored cavalry, which shows that the armored cavalry is actually the best in the world.”
"We, the great Wu, have suffered greatly from the cavalry of the Wei thieves! If we can learn the art of armored cavalry from the king, why should we be afraid of the Wei thieves?"
Hearing what the other party said, Feng Junhou understood, nodded and said:
“I understand, General Zhu seems to want to learn the methods of the armored cavalry.”
Zhu Zhi, who was feeling embarrassed at first, also had an embarrassed look on his face:
“Of course, if possible, I would also like to pay homage to the fine cavalry under the lord’s command.”
"After all, the elite cavalry of the Wei thieves are still a powerful enemy to Wu. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles."
"The elite cavalry under the king's command are stronger than those of the Wei thieves. If one can understand the fighting methods of the elite cavalry under the king's command, what should the Wei thieves fear?"
When Feng Junhou heard this, he was not dissatisfied at all because Zhu Ju's lion opened his mouth. Instead, he said happily:
"To be honest, general, there are two people in the Han army who are best at leading elite cavalry. One is General Liu who is currently in Bingzhou, and the other is General Yang who happens to be in Chang'an."
“And there is only one person who is best at armored cavalry, and that is General Zhao.”
“If General Zhu only wants to train the armored cavalry now, I would still be in a bit of a dilemma.”
“Because General Zhao led the armored cavalry to Liangzhou a few days ago, I’m afraid he won’t be able to come back until winter.”
“Now that General Zhu wants to see Jingqi, it will save trouble.”
As Feng Junhou spoke, he turned sideways towards Zhu Ju to show his sincerity:
“General Zhu is from Wu, and has rarely seen cavalry, let alone armored cavalry, so it’s understandable that he doesn’t understand some things.”
“This armored cavalry is indeed very powerful when charging into formation, but it is not invincible, and it also has considerable requirements on the terrain.”
"More importantly, it is not like other armies that can be formed into an army alone. It needs other cavalry to serve as auxiliary troops before it can form an army."
Feng Junhou said, stretched out his hand again, and introduced his number one general to Zhu Ju:
“This General Guan is the general under my command who is most proficient in using fine cavalry and armored cavalry to coordinate.”
Hearing this, Zhu Ju quickly stood up, cupped his fists and said:
“But the prince of Guanxiao who led thousands of horses to fight thousands of miles and swept across Bingzhou and Hedong?”
General Guan Da has not yet been granted the title of marquis. Strictly speaking, it is not appropriate to call him the prince of Guan Xiao.
But it is obvious that this "Guan Xiaojunhou" was called because she became extremely famous during the battle in Guanzhong. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was famous in the Central Plains.
It is indeed worthy of being the queen of Guan Laojun, who is so powerful in China.
General Guan has never had a good impression of the Wu people.
But Zhu Ju's title of "Guan Xiaojunhou" actually made her stern face thaw slightly:
“General Zhu has given me the award.”
She turned her head and nodded a little, and a servant came over holding a booklet.
General Guan picked up the booklet, handed it over and said:
“I am not good at words, and I like to be quiet. I don’t like to be disturbed by others. Over the years, I have recorded all my experience in using cavalry in front of the battle in this small booklet. I would like to ask General Zhu to read it.”
Zhu Ju was able to say "Guan Xiaojunhou", so he naturally expected that the Guan family had resentment towards Da Wu.
The other party was able to give me their experience in cavalry combat, which was beyond his expectation. This move was very grand.
He didn't dare to neglect it, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it with both hands: "Thank you for passing the pass, little prince."
Guan Xiaojunhou pursed his lips, his face returned to a stern expression, and he stopped talking.
Feng Junhou laughed:
“I also have something here to send to General Zhu.”
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
I saw another servant coming up with a stack of notebooks.
"General Zhu, I have said that I am not good at things in front of the formation, but whether it is a fine cavalry or an armored cavalry, they were all built by me."
"These information are the methods for forming a cavalry army, both for elite cavalry and armored cavalry."
“Even if you don’t understand anything at all, if you follow the above method and are willing to spend money and food, you can definitely set it up.”
Zhu Ju took over General Guan's book. Before he could sit down, he was still sighing at Guan Xiaojunhou's generosity.
I never thought that Feng Junhou would throw out another big gift.
This really surprised and delighted him.
Even a little unable to control my emotions.
But he didn’t hear the implication of Feng Junhou’s words.
He held the heavy information in his hands with some trembling, and Zhu Ju felt his throat was dry:
"Jun...junhou, are you giving all of these to me?"
Feng Junhou nodded: "That's natural. As long as General Zhu studies carefully, he will definitely gain something."
The methods of forming a cavalry army and the methods of using them in front of the formation are all in his own hands.
If you really want to count it out, this is a military strategy that is hard to find!
In addition to the guidance of General Yang and General Zhao later, if I can't learn it anymore, I will have no choice but to commit suicide to thank the emperor.
Zhu Ju bowed deeply and saluted: "Zhi, thank you sir!"
Zhu Ju was originally a person who valued wealth and righteousness, and at this time he couldn't help but be impressed by Feng Junhou's generous spirit:
If it is verified that what I have on hand is authentic in the future, whoever dares to say something like Feng Junhou’s bad reputation in front of me again will be scolded by me!
"General Zhu is too polite. Han and Wu are allies. Didn't we, the Han people, also send people to Wu to learn how to operate ships?"
“It’s just that the Han navy was too weak, so the shipbuilders have never been able to build a warship like Wu’s.”
“So I was thinking, if possible, could General Zhu ask Lord Wu for me and send some experienced craftsmen who can build big ships to Hanzhong to give some advice.”
According to the agreement between Han and Wu, Wu exchanged the skill of maneuvering ships for the Han's cavalry warfare skills, and the Han exchanged the method of building an armored cavalry army for Wu's skill of building warships.
Wu Guo is currently teaching college students how to fight on the water, which can be regarded as an early expression of sincerity to the big man.
Now Feng Junhou has told everything about the cavalry, which is considered to be a response to Wu Guo's sincerity.
Yong'an is the best shipbuilding place, but because it is located upstream of Jingzhou, in order to avoid Wu's worries, warships must not be built there.
Although the Han River is smaller than the big rivers, it is not a hindrance to the large ships of the State of Wu.
Zhu's trip went smoothly as expected, and the harvest was extremely fruitful. He was so happy that he agreed:
“If you, the prince, ask for something, you should do your best!”
At this time, he eagerly wanted to return to his residence and test whether these books and brochures were really authentic.
So he said goodbye to Feng Junhou.
Feng Junhou saw what he was thinking, so naturally he would not stay. But before leaving, he pointed to the information held tightly in Zhu Ju's arms and reminded:
"General Zhu, these things are the secrets of the Han army. Now they are all given to General Zhu. It is a trustworthy general."
“But the general must be very careful not to let people who shouldn’t see it see it, let alone lose it. Otherwise, it will cause great harm to both countries.”
Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly: "How could Zhi not know about it? Lord, please rest assured that these things are Zhi's life, but if Zhi takes one breath, not a single piece of paper will be lost."
“That’s good. I’ll see General Zhu off.”
“Your Majesty, please stay.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come.”
…
Out of the door of the mansion, Zhu Ju stopped. Seeing that Guan Xiaojun did not follow him out, he hesitated to speak.
When Feng Junhou saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little strange:
“General Zhu, do you have something else to do?”
Zhu Ju shook his head and said with some emotion:
“When I met Junhou today, I realized how ridiculous the rumors I had heard about Junhou were.”
“I feel even more ashamed when I think back to the fact that I believed some of these rumors.”
He looked at Feng Junhou and said sincerely:
"Your Majesty, when I was ordered to come here, the prince once asked me to express my admiration to you, saying that it would be a pity in my life not to be able to get to know you."
“Prince?”
Feng Junhou was startled, and it took him a while to realize: Is it Sun Deng, the crown prince of Sun Quan?
Seeing the unnatural look on Zhu Ju's face again, Feng Junhou remembered:
Oh, so it turns out he is the dog that the tiger girl of the Guan family doesn't want to marry?
Thinking of this, Feng Junhou came back to his senses.
Sun Deng is still a prince after all, but in his early years, he was said by his father-in-law that he was a dog son and not worthy of a tiger girl.
This can be considered a public humiliation.
After so many years, if the tiger girl of the Guan family did not marry well, Sun Deng would have no choice but to let it go.
It's a pity that the tiger girl of the Guan family married so well and her husband was famous all over the world. Isn't Sun Deng stimulated and obsessed with him even more?
This so-called admiration is probably because you take a breath and want to compare?
As both men, who doesn’t know this point?
Feng Junhou thought in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face:
“I have heard of Prince Sun’s wise reputation for a long time. If I have a chance to meet him in the future, I will definitely try my best to get to know him.”
Zhu Ju stood up and bowed again before leaving.
Seeing Zhu Ju's back disappear, Feng Junhou turned around and returned home.
Going back to the front hall, he saw Guan Xiaojunhou still sitting in his original position, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her head.
Feng Junhou walked over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Guan Xiaojunhou hesitated to speak, and finally asked:
“Alang, are we too hasty in giving these things away so easily?”
Feng Junhou sat back on his chair and exhaled:
“I understand what you mean, it took us nearly ten years to complete these.”
If you include the years when Feng Junhou laid the foundation in advance, it would probably be more than ten years.
The fruits of more than ten years of hard work were given away so easily.
And the other party is destined to be the enemy of the Han Dynasty in the future.
No matter who it is, hesitation can be regarded as a plan, let alone a real gift.
Feng Junhou sighed:
"But there is no way. We need the Wu people's ships. We can't spend more than ten or twenty years in the future trying to figure out how to build big ships and fight on the water, right?"
With the loss of Jingzhou, the Han Dynasty not only lost the commander of the naval warfare, but also lost the navy.
Everything has to start all over again.
As long as the Han Dynasty consolidated Guanzhong and Bingzhou Hedong, a few years later, the Wei State would not be able to resist the Han Dynasty's eastward advance due to its current divided situation.
Otherwise, Sima Yi would not appear to be secretly sending someone to deliver the message, but in fact it was a secret test.
Once the demise of Wei is put on the agenda, the alliance between Han and Wu will break up again.
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the land. After the annexation of Wei, the king has not fully understood the destiny of heaven. Each king will maximize his virtues, and each minister will fulfill his loyalty. When he will carry the drum and drum, the war will begin."
This is what Deng Zhi said in front of Sun Quan when he was on an envoy to the state of Wu.
Given the strength of Wu's naval warfare, Feng Junhou really didn't have the patience to fumble for another ten or eight years to retrain a navy.
If you want to train, start training now, and train according to the standards of Wu Kingdom Navy.
After destroying Wei, one should go south to destroy Wu with one drum.
Seeing that Guan Xiaojunhou was still a little dissatisfied, Feng Junhou couldn't help but smile:
"In front of Xijun's formation, although his heroic appearance is inferior to that of a man, how can he be careless at this moment?"
“The enmity between my concubine and the Wu people has not yet been avenged, how can we look past it?”
"You don't have to be like this, Mr. Xi. After destroying Wei, I will definitely think of a way to ask Guan Xiaojun to send 100,000 troops south to destroy Wu in order to sacrifice my uncle's spirit in heaven."
When Guan Xiaojunhou heard what Feng Junhou said, his face lit up and he rolled his eyes at him:
“Starting to be unruly again.”
“I’m not being immoral, I’m serious.”
Feng Junhou lay back in his chair lazily, "Yang Yi betrayed the country and joined the bandits. The secret of the Han cavalry can no longer be concealed."
"The elite cavalry of the Wei thieves have always been suppressing the Wu people. If they are allowed to learn the secrets of the Han cavalry army, the Wu people will not be able to reap the benefits."
"In the next few years, we will still need Wu to contain the Wei thieves, so we teach the Wu cavalry to prevent the Wei thieves from drawing the Wu army too far away."
General Guan finally understood after hearing this, but she still hesitated and said:
"Although I don't know the plot of the court, I also know that the Wu people are the most untrustworthy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have both ends. Now that the Han Dynasty is powerful, the Wu people may not join forces with the Wei thieves to protect themselves. "
Feng Junhou smiled and said:
"It's not inevitable. In my opinion, it's inevitable. That's why I sent students to Wu in advance to learn how to operate a boat."
“Just now I handed over all the secrets of the Han cavalry to Zhu Zhi, in order to obtain the art of shipbuilding as soon as possible. If Wei and Wu were in alliance, the Wu people would definitely not teach us anymore.”
Guan Xiaojunhou suddenly realized, and then she was still a little worried:
“What if we haven’t learned yet and the Wei thieves and the Wu people have secretly formed an alliance?”
Feng Junhou smiled again:
"If Cao Rui was around, it would be possible. Unfortunately, Cao Rui died too early."
"Now Sima Yi and Cao Shuang are in power in the Wei State. They each control Luoyang and Xuchang, and they cannot work together."
“Whoever dares to propose joining forces with the Wu people first will definitely be attacked by the other side.”
“Therefore, even the far-sighted people in the Wei Kingdom may be powerless at this time.”
How can party strife be easily stopped once it starts?
Emperor Wu is the king of Wu who was granted the title of Wei. Now that Wei wants to lower his dignity and join forces with his ministers, it is simply a disgrace to Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen. If you don't criticize them, who will you criticize?
The country is a country, and the home is a home.
Sacrificing oneself and risking reputation damage, but also to fulfill the country and benefit the Wei Dynasty, can Sima Yi or Cao Shuang do this kind of thing?
Unless someone from behind hurt Wei State so much that it couldn't bear the pain and forced it to join forces with Wu State.
It now seems that the party struggle in Wei has just begun, and the Han Dynasty will probably not have the chance to take action against Wei in the next few years.
So the two countries Wei and Wu cannot form an alliance for the time being.
When Guan Xiaojunhou heard Feng Junhou’s analysis, he couldn’t help but admired:
"Alang's view is indeed long-term. Can this be called the temple's calculation?"
Feng Junhou coughed dryly but did not explain.
The person who made the plans for the temple is probably still sleeping soundly on the couch.
And even if Wei and Wu really form an alliance, the Han army they will face in a few years will probably be another story.
Feng Junhou chuckled.
