A horse is a living creature with its own biological characteristics.
Especially for war horses, it takes at least four years from birth to growing up to go on the battlefield.
Let alone an ordinary war horse, even if it is a king horse, you have to wait for it to grow up before riding it.
Minors are absolutely not allowed to ride.
According to this biological characteristic, as long as the source of Wei's war horses is cut off, there is no need to cut it off, as long as it can affect the export of Youzhou's war horses to the Central Plains.
Coupled with exerting enough pressure on the frontal battlefield, and taking into account the losses in daily training, Wei's war horse supply could not keep up with consumption.
Then it would only take four years at most before the quality of Wei's cavalry would drop off a cliff.
This is what is called victory over the imperial court.
Later generations have a saying: Tactical success cannot cover up strategic failure.
Similarly, temporary tactical failure cannot prevent strategic success.
For Feng Junhou, he is not as good as a real general when facing the enemy in battle.
But he is self-aware.
In addition to promoting a group of outstanding generals, he can also provide these outstanding generals with the best platform.
At the same time, he is also good at considering issues from a strategic overall perspective.
What does it have to do with confronting the enemy in battle...what does it have to do with me?
Feng Junhou said: Do I still need to do such a small thing myself?
The Han Dynasty started from the tactical success of the Northern Expedition to Longyou, then from strategic defense to strategic confrontation after taking Liangzhou, and finally to the current strategic offensive.
This step-by-step process may seem smooth, but in fact it is difficult every step, and you must not make a wrong step.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, who was the most intelligent in the world, worked hard day and night until he died of exhaustion.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had no doubts about his employment, entrusted loyal people with full authority.
Even the queen used her sister as a bargaining chip.
At the same time, the imperial court also wanted to eradicate the wealthy rightists, win over the people, reform the shortcomings of the post-Han Dynasty, and inject new vitality into the country...
Ji Han's development from a mere Shu region to what it is now did not rely on one or two tactics, but the success of the entire country's development strategy.
With Feng Junhou's current position, gains and losses at one time or another are no longer what he has to worry about.
But Guan Xiaojunhou expressed some concerns about Feng Junhou's strategy:
"If it is true as Alang said, then everything from Liangzhou to Youzhou, from the extreme west to the extreme east, will be owned by the Han Dynasty again."
"However, the reason why the two Han Dynasties had this territory was that they had the Central Plains as their core."
"At this time, the Han Dynasty took Youzhou first and then the Central Plains. They were afraid that the territory would be too long and unsustainable."
After a pause, Guan Xiaojunhou continued to remind:
"Don't forget, when the Han Dynasty and the Kingdom of Wu made an alliance by the river and divided the world equally, Youzhou was given to the Kingdom of Wu."
Feng Junhou smiled and said:
"No need to worry, Mr. Xi. How could I fail to consider this level? I only said that you would cut off the supply of war horses from Youzhou to the Central Plains. I did not say that I would take Youzhou first."
Guan Xiaojunhou was a little confused:
"If we don't take Youzhou, how can we cut off the source of Wei's war horses?"
Feng Junhou laughed loudly, holding a riding crop in his hand and pointing to the northeast:
"I once heard that when Ke Bineng was at the border of Youzhou, he made an agreement with Su Li and other Xianbei leaders not to trade horses with China."
"Combined with the information collected from various places, it turns out that a considerable part of Youzhou's war horses came from the barbarian trade outside the Great Wall."
If it were a time of great unification, even if the war horses were not allowed to flow into the Central Plains outside the Great Wall, the Han Dynasty would still have its own horse farm to raise the needed war horses.
Moreover, for the Han Dynasty in its heyday, when "everywhere the rivers go, they are all ministers and concubines", it is not the Hu people who have the final say whether to sell horses or not.
At the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty, there were many sudden cavalry from the Wuhuan Xiongnu and other cavalrymen in the Han cavalry army.
But later, as the control of the Han Dynasty declined, the Xianbei people took advantage of the rise of the grasslands and repeatedly crossed the border to plunder.
Not to mention that after so many years of war, the population has dropped sharply, the cultivated land is barren, and most places don't even have enough food to eat.
In the turbulent era when Yi Zi was eating each other, people had no food to eat, so how could there be a large amount of excess refined grain to feed horses?
How can the government have the energy to maintain the racecourse?
Therefore, for the border officials, raising horses is not as convenient as exchanging horses from outside the Great Wall.
To give the most obvious example:
Even in the middle of the Later Han Dynasty, when things were still relatively stable, the imperial court felt that the burden on the racecourse was too heavy when the Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou was just beginning.
As a result, most of the horse farms in Liangzhou were eliminated, leaving only one horse farm in Longyou.
After the Han Dynasty recaptured Liangzhou, even if Feng Junhou had the ability to print money, if he wanted to reopen a horse farm in Liangzhou, he would have to open up millions of acres of fertile land on the bank of the river in advance to grow beans.
At the same time, Xu Erniang, one of his most capable agricultural experts, was sent to plan the project.
Most of the beans produced in these fertile fields are used to supply horse farms.
If you don’t have enough food and beans, and you still want to open a horse farm to raise war horses, just dream on it!
In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, how many war horses can the local government afford without financial support from the rear?
Do you think everyone is Feng Junhou?
It would be great to have a Feng Junhou in the world.
With the current state of Wei, how can it support Youzhou?
Instead, resources from Youzhou should be allocated to support Hebei.
"So what we have to do is to imitate Ke Bineng's wisdom and find ways to encourage the barbarians outside the Great Wall of Youzhou not to sell their horses to Wei thieves."
When it comes to dealing with barbarians, is there anyone in the world who is better than Feng Junhou?
There's no problem that wool can't solve. If wool still doesn't work, add some spirits!
If that doesn't work, there's tea, brown sugar...
Malicious price increase!
As long as Feng Junhou is willing, he can seduce the barbarians outside the Great Wall of Youzhou and drive their livestock to Bingzhou for trade.
Just those barbarians in Youzhou, do they know what good things are?
And that poor place in Youzhou, why should you fight with me?
Seeing Feng Junhou's triumphant look, Guan Xiaojunhou finally couldn't help laughing and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
As long as Alang doesn't get carried away by all the victories.
A Lang may not be as good as her when it comes to facing an enemy in battle, but when it comes to doing business, no one in the world is as good as A Lang.
"So it seems that Alang has been planning this for a long time?"
Feng Junhou shook his head and replied:
"Not long ago, when I came here for the first time last year, I stood on Baishan Mountain and thought about it."
No wonder there was no poetry or composition on Baishan Mountain. It turned out that he was only thinking about ways to dig holes.
It was just that at that time, Bingzhou had just been settled, the place was unstable, and people's hearts were not yet settled, so Feng Junhou did not take any action.
This time, the situation is very different from last year.
Guan Xiaojunhou asked:
"But I don't know who Alang wants to send for such a big event?"
"Naturally, we should send people who are familiar with the various barbarian tribes on the border of Youzhou."
When Guan Junhou heard this, he was slightly surprised:
"It turns out that Alang has been in contact with Youzhou for a long time?"
Feng Junhou shook his head: "I am not a god, how can I cross Bingzhou and arrange things in Youzhou in advance?"
Guan Xiaojunhou was even more surprised:
"Then how does Alang find someone who is familiar with the Hu tribe on the border of Youzhou?"
According to her past experience, she would first send out a caravan to carry the goods to the land of the barbarians.
In the name of selling things, gain the trust of the local Hu people, and then infiltrate, and finally understand the internal situation of the Hu people tribe.
But as far as she knew, Alang had never sent anyone to Youzhou.
After all, Liangzhou is too far away from Youzhou.
The reason why we can reach the hometown of Jiuyuan is because of Kebi who can take care of him.
Thinking of this, Guan Xiaojunhou seemed to have something he had neglected flashing through his mind, but he failed to catch it.
But Feng Junhou looked at Guan Xiaojunhou:
"You are so forgetful, Mr. Xi. Did you forget to let go to the mud?"
"Return to the mud?"
After being reminded by Feng Junhou, Guan Xiaojunhou suddenly realized, "So it's him?"
Xieguini was originally the son of Fuluohan, the elder brother of Budugen, the Xianbei master in Bingzhou. Later Fuluohan was killed by Kebineng, and Xieguini led his people to join Kebineng.
Later, his uncle Bu Dugen lured him, but he returned to Ni and abandoned Ke Bi Neng and switched to Bu Dugen.
Later, Bu Dugen could not bear the bullying of Bu Gui, the former governor of Bingzhou, and he did not hesitate to join forces with Ke Bineng to rebel against the Wei state.
Unexpectedly, the coalition of the two was defeated by Cao Rui's army led by Qin Lang.
Bu Dugen was killed by Ke Bineng when he was defeated and fled. Xie Guini was frightened, so he turned around and returned to Bingzhou to ask for Wei's surrender.
The State of Wei did not investigate the past and gave him the title of King Guiyi.
Who would have expected that just a few years after the good times, General Guan led an army to raid Bingzhou again. King Guiyi of Wei was caught off guard and was captured by Han Gaoshang.
It's no wonder that General Guan can't remember this person, it's because this person is just a small character in her eyes.
At that time, General Guan led his army past Baishan Mountain and entered Pingcheng. He was guarding the border for Wei State and did not even offer any decent resistance.
In front of the cavalry led by General Guan, his troops were like sheep encountering tigers, they just scattered in all directions.
General Guan, who originally thought he could meet the Xianbei elite cavalry for a while, was greatly disappointed.
Think about what kind of person Tan Shihuai was back then?
Unexpectedly, the Xianbei people were in such decline now.
General Guan's tone seemed to be disdainful of Xie Gui Ni:
"I see that this man is far inferior to Kebiduo! I also heard that he is capricious and is nothing more than a coward. I am deeply worried about him being given a big job by Alang."
Feng Junhou did not feel worried, but felt happy:
"It is precisely because this person is capricious and as timid as a mouse that I sent him to the border of Youzhou."
"If he was as ambitious as Ke Bineng, I would have tried to kill him long ago. How could I have kept him alive until now?"
He is capricious and as timid as a mouse, but he can survive until now, which shows that this person knows the current affairs.
Any Hu leader with some ambition and talent who can survive when meeting Feng Junhou is either an elite man like Liu Hun.
Or they were like Bald Kheli who were domesticated and became elite men.
As for those like Ke Bineng who are stubborn and want to restore the glory of the grassland, then I have to apologize.
As for wallflowers like Ruoluo Aliu and Xie Guini, Feng Junhou has nothing to worry about.
He knows the current affairs and cherishes his life. He will be obedient if given a little sweetness, but will be afraid of the slightest intimidation.
They don't dare to say anything if they use their name to do things. They are fine white gloves.
Kebi Neng took advantage of the split of Xianbei to rise on the border of Youzhou.
After Xie Guini joined Ke Bineng, he followed Ke Bineng to cause trouble in Youzhou for a long time. He was very familiar with the situation on the border of Youzhou.
In addition, he was first defeated by Qin Lang and then captured by General Guan.
It can be said that he has seen the sharpness of the Han and Wei armies over and over again. As long as he is not blind, he must be able to tell which of the Han and Wei armies is sharper.
In this case, if he were smarter, he would know whether to choose Han or Wei.
Unless he chooses neither side and is determined to escape to the grassland forever to starve and freeze.
Otherwise, as long as he dares to rebel against the Han and defect to Wei, he will face sanctions from the Han after the Wei thieves are defeated.
At that time, it will not be a question of whether one can survive, but a question of how to die with dignity.
After all, the big man is not like the Wei thieves who need him to guard the border gate.
"Even so, someone must be sent to keep an eye on him."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xi, I will send a master to follow him."
"Who? Coach Han?"
"Exactly. Instructor Han is more familiar with the land of Youzhou than Xie Guini. With him watching Xie Guini, I think nothing will go wrong."
"That's good. It just gave Coach Han his wish. Let's see if we can uproot the Han family outside the Great Wall."
"What Mr. Xi said is very popular with me." Feng Junhou touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "In that case, why not let Bald-Fated Kheli follow him over and have a look."
Anyway, driving a sheep is driving, and herding a flock is also herding.
"If there is a chance, let him cooperate with Coach Han and kill Tuoba Xianbei Hu'er directly. This will also give them a sigh of relief..."
After all, killing one's own people is cruel.
Let Tufa Tianli go to the barbarians in the north of Youzhou to cause trouble and trouble, while Bingzhou is peaceful and peaceful.
At the same time, a market was set up in Pingcheng and various channels were used to spread the news on the grassland. Everyone could exchange livestock for urgently needed supplies at the market.
Then raise the price slightly for war horses, oh!
"Hehe, hehe..."
When Feng Junhou thought of the beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but laugh obscenely.
If we take advantage of that time, we can find a job in Pingcheng, and we will provide food and accommodation.
It’s just like trying to catch a rabbit with straw, haha, hahaha!
Seeing Feng Junhou's embarrassing appearance, Guan Xiaojunhou couldn't help but push him and said angrily:
"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so much!"
Feng Junhou wiped the corner of his mouth. Well, luckily, the saliva didn't flow out.
Under Guan Xiaojunhou's questioning, he explained the plan he had just thought of.
Even if he didn't say this, when Guan Xiaojunhou heard it, his eyes widened immediately with a look of astonishment on his face.
After a while, I heard her gasping for air.
Even though Guan Xiaojunhou was as hard-hearted in front of the battle, he was still shocked when he heard Feng Junhou's plan.
"Such a vicious plan! What misfortune has happened to the barbarians outside the Great Wall of Youzhou? How could you escape from Alang's plan in Youzhou?"
It was obviously a common tribal vendetta on the grassland, but who would have thought that Feng was actually targeting Wei's war horse supply?
Guan Xiaojunhou repeatedly marveled:
"No wonder I didn't choose the wrong name. Alang is really far-sighted!"
Feng Junhou was furious when he heard this:
"What are you talking about! What kind of vicious plot? What kind of foresight? I am obviously a soldier who can defeat others without fighting!"
Guan Xiaojunhou did not answer. She had already fallen into the plan outlined by Feng Junhou in a few words. The more she thought about it, the more powerful she became.
This vicious plan is almost as good as the Chinese barbarians who moved to the south to fill Hanzhong.
Of course, closeness means that that year, that plan still ranked first.
After a long time, Guan Xiaojunhou looked at Feng Junhou with admiration:
"How did Alang come up with such a plan?"
"Oh, it's not what I thought, but there was something similar in the master's book, so I borrowed it."
Feng Junhouhun replied nonchalantly.
America, the beacon of mankind in future generations, always thinks of ways to stir up unrest or even war around the world when she wants to harvest the world's wealth, forcing capital to flow back.
What is the power of this over that, what is boiling, what is oil, what is the revolution of roses, chestnuts, tulips, jasmine and other flowers.
Just call whatever excuse works best.
Although they lost their homes, the country and the people were in dire straits, the people had no clothes to wear, no food to eat, their families were separated, and their wives and daughters were teased, but everyone was nourished, right?
Evil, poisonous, and utterly bad!
Feng Junhou is different from them.
He is in Bingzhou, but he is preparing to recruit workers and prepare a road that has never been traveled before for everyone on the grassland.
What a cruel and ruthless Xiao Wenhe, it’s fake, it’s all fake, Feng Ping was killed!
