Chapter 1105 Earthen Pot
“Ouch…” Fei Qian slapped Pang Tong on the shoulder with his palm, with a look of disgust on his face, “…after so many years, I have lost weight instead of gaining weight! He must be picky again!”
"Ah, ah! I''m not picky! That''s all I am! I won''t get fat if I eat!" Pang Tong jumped to his feet and shouted, "Also, do you welcome guests like this?"
Fei Qian didn''t care, he raised his head and laughed: "Haha, who said you are a guest? You are my junior brother! You are not a guest!"
Pang Tong pointed at Fei Qian, obviously a little angry, but he soon laughed, and then the two of them laughed together...
After laughing for a while, the two of them calmed down.
Pang Tong looked up and saw a large stretch of Zhuanghe, with his heavy head lowered, swaying between the streets, stretching all the way to the small red city in the distance.
"The autumn harvest is coming soon..." Pang Tong walked to the edge of the field, looked at everything around him, and praised, "It''s amazing...it''s amazing, there are so many...I feel relieved..."
Fei Qian also stood at the edge of the field and said: "It''s a lot, but it''s also a lot to eat... The people are not bad, but these big guys have really big appetites..."
The war horse on the side seemed to know that Fei Qian was talking to him. He snorted dissatisfiedly and then scratched the ground.
The war horses of the Han people must be ready for battle all year round, unlike the Hu people who only launch wars during autumn and winter. Therefore, the feed requirements for the war horses are higher. Without a large amount of forage and beans, they cannot afford to raise such horses. A huge cavalry force.
?If they are raised in peacetime, only green materials will be enough. Once the war machine is started, a large amount of fodder and beans must be invested. Otherwise, after a battle, these war horses will be useless.
"Tsk, tsk... I really don''t know how you survived these past few years... But it looks like you''re pretty good..." Pang Tong put his sleeves together, and his sleeves, robes, and scarves were fluttering in the wind. If it weren''t for the dust on his head and body, it would be There is also a bit of a worldly demeanor.
“…What else can I do? I’m pretending to be big and shrinking my head at the same time…” Fei Qian scratched the head of his war horse, then gently patted the horse’s neck and said, “I’m all scared…”
Pang Tong raised his head and gave a silent haha, and then said: "Well, who is willing to touch a jade medal with an earthen pot... To be honest, you can survive the current situation... I think it is a miracle..."
Fei Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Tell me, I, the earthen pot, would like to hear it..."
"Huh," Pang Tong didn''t even look at Fei Qian. He stretched out his hand from his sleeve and licked his fingers and said, "You just came to Bingzhou with only a few hundred soldiers. What is it if it''s not a small earthen pot? What does it mean to win Pingyang after defeating Bai Bo? It’s just a better earthen jar... Even if we defeat the Xiongnu and Xianbei again, it’s nothing. It’s just an earthen jar with some patterns... Earthen jars are fragile. If there is just one year in these years..."
Pang Tong pouted at the field in front of him and said: "...No matter it''s drought, waterlogging, insects, or whatever, as long as the harvest fails in one year...even earthen pots with patterns all over them will fall apart immediately..."
Fei Qian is silent.
Pang Tong is actually right in saying this.
“Do you know why these guys couldn’t bear to fall out in the end?” Pang Tong chuckled twice, then glanced at Fei Qian sideways.
Fei Qian nodded, sneered twice, and said: "Of course I know, these rot dogs are still waiting to be cut into pieces and eaten... But if we really want to do it, these rot dogs won''t let go..."
Pang Tong curled his lips disdainfully, "You call that luck! But luck is an indispensable thing! However, you are still smart and didn''t force me to stay... so what... otherwise I wouldn''t have come at all and would only stay in Jing. Xiang is waiting to leave a way out for you..."
Pang Tong continued speaking, as if he was about to pour out the words he had been holding back for a long time at once: "...you know, Bingbei also belongs to the frontier, and these guys, for the sake of reputation, are not willing to directly attack the frontier generals... Otherwise, when they come to power, they won’t be able to guard the border by themselves... So if you act slightly out of line here, they will tolerate whatever they can..."
“...Secondly, they will not be able to take care of it for a while...Dong Wang, Li Guo, and Zhong Yang will not stop for a moment...Big man...Oh...so you, this broken earthen jar, will naturally be put aside first..."
Fei Qian listened silently. In fact, his current situation was somewhat similar to Cao Cao.
??It was not until Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao that everyone in the world suddenly seemed to recognize Cao Cao again and flocked to him...
??When Yang Biao arrived in Pingyang and it was clear that the chariots and horses were about to embezzle him, Fei Qian endured it first and then used strategy instead of force. This is the reason why.
As early as the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou and Bingzhou had become what later generations called "poor counties". Without financial and material support from the central government, nothing could be done.
So when Feiqian and Bingbei established a foothold, most people had not yet woken up from decades of habits. They believed that Bingbei would not be able to make much trouble as long as it did not have the supply from the court.
Under this understanding, coupled with the fact that Feiqian''s Bingbei structure is a grass-roots construction, the foundation is just like cattails. Compared with those families that have lived for decades or hundreds of years, it is naturally very shallow. Therefore, Most people feel that although Fei Qian is big, he is not stable and may collapse at any time. Therefore, they can just wait on the sidelines and wait for Fei Qian to take advantage when he collapses. Why bother to confront Fei Qian head-on?
Under such a psychological influence, the nobles around Fei Qian, including Yang Biao, did not pay much attention at first...
?However, things are a little different now.
"Hongnong Yang has recruited 30,000 troops in Heluo...many of them are soldiers..." Pang Tong said calmly.
Jiashi had a special concept in the Han Dynasty. Not everyone wearing armor could be called "Jiashi". Normally, according to Han law, those who go into battle and behead one level can be upgraded from ordinary cannon fodder to soldiers and can own a formal set of leather armor. Only those who have accumulated three levels of military merit can change from leather armor to iron armor. Called "Jiashi".
Fei Qian sipped his teeth, it was really scary when a Crown family in the world went out with all their strength.
Pang Tong came over and whispered: "...how much food is left?"
Fei Qian coughed, then glanced left and right, and whispered: "There are only two or three months left..."
“Humph…Okay, let’s count it as three months…You are really cowardly…” Pang Tong sighed.
"Hehe..." Fei Qian smiled, then patted Pang Tong on the shoulder and said, "What you said is generally correct, but some details are not quite right... My earthen jar also has thorns... so It’s not easy to start…”
Pang Tong tilted his head, thought for a while, nodded, and said: "That''s right, it was smashed, it hurts too much... So as long as it''s not an eyesore, just pretend that I didn''t see it... But now, you are starting to be an eyesore. Do you know?"
"Hahaha..." Fei Qian laughed, "...If I didn''t stand in the way, you wouldn''t come, right?"
Pang Tong snorted: "Let''s talk first, I am a guest..."
Hearing this, Fei Qian stopped smiling, looked at Pang Tong seriously and said, "Are you still a ''guest'' like this?" "What else? It''s not like you don''t know Pang Gong''s temper..." Pang Tong also frowned, "If it weren''t for the fact that there are so many people in the family, Some people have been coming to me for a while, and they have been chirping, and I’m afraid I still won’t be able to leave Lushan..."
Fei Qian raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Really? How did I hear that Mr. Pang has accepted a new disciple... Tsk, that disciple is fair, pretty, and very smart. Learning is more about drawing inferences from one instance and making a comprehensive understanding...tsk tsk...then, in comparison, someone has looks but not appearance, and talent but not talent, so...ahaha..."
Pang Tong gritted his teeth and said nothing.
“Eh…” Fei Qian stopped smiling, stared at Pang Tong and said, “Looking at you like this, is this… real?”
Pang Tong roared to the sky and waved his fist, "So what, I just refuse to accept it! I just want to defeat him!"
Fei Qian straightened his crown, bowed his hands to Pang Tong, and said, "I''m sorry."
Pang Tong gasped, then took a few deep breaths, waved his hands and said, "Huh...it''s okay, it''s okay...that guy...really looks like a monster..."
“Let me help you!” Fei Qian patted his chest and said.
“Tch!” Pang Tong sneered and said proudly, “No! I will defeat him myself…”
Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "...Oh, it''s up to you, it''s up to you... But you said you were a ''guest guest'', and I was really sad..."
Pang Tong also returned to normal: "Come on, let''s see where your territory is now? It''s thousands of miles away from Jingxiang! This is still somewhat out of Lushan''s affection...Fifty Lushan children, three hundred soldiers, Not to mention anything else, you can save a lot of energy in Qiu Huo now..."
?Fei Qian chuckled twice.
Pang Degong was in Jingxiang. In fact, he was somewhat similar to Confucius. He taught people without distinction. As long as they were willing to come to study, Pang Degong would basically give them advice. This also created the reputation of Pang Degong Lu Mountain. This time Pang Tong came, not just him alone, but also brought some noble children. Most of these noble children were from Jingxiang, including the Pang, Huang, and Cai families, so they could be regarded as giving Fei Qian some help.
“…In addition…” Pang Tong pondered for a while and then said, “…Pang Gong said that your… plan is a bit too bold…”
Fei Qian was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "...But you can give it a try, right? Otherwise you wouldn''t come..."
Pang Tong acquiesced, and then said: "...Pang Gong means to wait for two years, at least you should have some reserves here..."
Fei Qian sighed and said with some regret: "So, in fact, Pang Gong is not..."
“What can be done about this?” Pang Tong said, “The family is so big that it’s just like this…”
Pang Tong said seriously: "But, Mr. Pang is very happy. I can see that Mr. Pang is really happy...So, I sincerely hope that your plan can succeed..."
??Although Pang Tong looked furious when Fei Qian mentioned Pang Degong''s new student, now, Pang Tong showed a different look.
"Confucian people..." Pang Tong sighed, "It''s becoming more and more outrageous... The world is so big, why bother... Do you know that some people have begun to say that "Yi" was also compiled by Confucius..."
"Oh? Haha..." Fei Qian heard this and shook his head.
This behavior is really similar to the stick in later generations...
?Many people mistakenly think that the Book of Changes is the Book of Changes, and the Book of Changes is the Book of Changes. In fact, it is wrong. Simply put, the difference between the Zhouyi and the Yi Jing is the difference in affiliation. The Yi Jing includes the Zhouyi, and the Zhouyi is only a part of the Yi Jing.
The "Book of Changes" is the conclusion made by King Wen of Zhou when he studied the "Book of Changes" while he was in prison.
The hundreds of schools of thought that developed later, involving related content, actually all started to develop after King Wen wrote the "Book of Changes".
In fact, there are three Yi Jing, "Lianshan Yi", "Guizang Yi", and "Zhou Yi", which belong to different periods respectively. However, Lianshan and Guizang have basically been lost now.
"...Confucian people have done this not once or twice," Pang Tong smiled disdainfully and said, "...You said that when you find it easier to take other people''s things, you will still work hard to study new ones. Something? Pang Gong also said that if Confucianism doesn’t produce a few people who can live up to their expectations, even if they gain power for a while, that’s probably the end of it…”
“…In fact, many people are a little dissatisfied…” Pang Tong continued, “But, they are single and weak, and no one listens to their words, so…”
Pang Tong turned around, looked at Fei Qian and said: "...What you said is indeed good...but the premise is that you have to wait until someone listens to what you say...It''s a bit early now..."
?Fei Qian nodded and said: "Actually, it''s not too early. It''s always better to prepare earlier..."
Pang Tong glanced at Fei Qian and was a little surprised: "So, you have already started to take action?"
"Haha, do you still remember the issues we discussed together when we were under Lushan Mountain?" Fei Qian looked into the distance and said leisurely, "I thought there was a place that was good, so I gave it a try first. Anyway, there was nothing in that place. , so there will be no obstacles... However, now, as Pang Gong said, it is a bit early to promote it on a large scale..."
Pang Tong''s eyes lit up and he said, "Yinshan Mountain? It''s a good place. I want to go and see..."
"Okay, but let''s go back to Pingyang now... You haven''t tried Pingyang''s latest dishes yet..." Fei Qian smiled and said.
Pang Tong made a sound and said: "If you don''t talk about this, I almost forgot! Ahem, let me tell you... Pang Gong said, you made these dishes, you simply ignored your business! Let you spend less time on this On the aspect!”
Fei Qian Surong cupped his hands toward the south, indicating that he listened to Pang Degong''s teachings, and then said: "So...here, come back and send a message, just say that there is no need to prepare anything, just make two or three cooking cakes and some cold water." ! A certain junior brother is working hard and doesn’t want to eat these delicate dishes!”
"Ah?" Pang Tong jumped up and shouted evilly, "After all, Pang Gong said, you don''t have to eat every meal! Pang Gong can eat it, why can''t I eat it! I said if you dare to cheat If someone eats something, believe it or not, he will leave immediately!”
