Han counter current

When he was young, he was irritable and eager for success. In order to seek the improvement of martial arts and breakthroughs in physical fitness, he did not know how many times he lay on the ice and snow, and eating raw meat and drinking blood was even more commonplace.

The breakthroughs in martial arts time and time again were all at the price of pain. Back then, he recovered quickly and didn't feel anything. In recent years, he can actually feel that his joints are hurting and his meridians are blocked.

I thought that I would be cured just by taking some decoction, but I didn't think that the disease was already terminal, if I didn't take good care of it, not to mention my martial arts, I'm afraid I might lose my life in the end.

Fortunately, there are two genius doctors here, together with the ginseng, snow lotus and other precious medicinal materials sent by the lord, they cured my disabled body.

It is only now that I understand that in the past, I pursued improvement, although the time was shortened, it also cut off my own room for improvement. Now that my old illness is cured, I can touch the threshold of breakthrough. I thought it would be difficult in this life Ascension, but I don't know that I am already on the verge of ascension, but because of my physical condition, I can't improve. "

It seems that Ma Chao has gained a lot of insight during this time. This refinement and breakthrough is not only an improvement in martial arts, but also an improvement in thinking and awareness, which makes Chen Feng very pleased.

At the same time, Chen Feng was also glad that he did the right thing.In history, Ma Chao died of illness when he was in his prime. Some people say that it was because of his narrow-mindedness, coupled with the loss of his family, and not being reused by Liu Bei, he finally died of anger.

Some people also said that he couldn't accept the fact that he changed from a prince to a general under Liu Bei, coupled with the hopelessness of revenge, his future was bleak, and finally he died in depression.

But now it seems that these speculations are unreasonable. The most likely explanation is that Ma Chao’s body has been suffering from minor ailments for a long time. He has been on the battlefield all his life, and injuries are inevitable. In the end, he was taken away by these injuries life.

"Very well, in fact, I have long thought of asking you to step down and take care of your health. It should have been Han Sheng who came first, but your situation is quite special.

Hehe, when all the medicinal materials are ready, the generals will go to Luoyang one after another to recuperate their wounds and cure their old diseases.Fortunately, there are two genius doctors here, otherwise, ordinary doctors really can't handle it. "

"Oh? So, this subordinate has taken advantage of General Han Sheng. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to explain to him, or I won't be able to lose face if I tell him."

"Hahaha, you, that's enough, I want to thank you, let's talk about it later, you know I have a mission to come to you, how about it, should you stay and recuperate, or go into battle in armor and fight?"

"The last general, please listen to the lord's order..."

"Come on, here is a plan I discussed with the military adviser. You go to implement part of it. This time, you should take that kid Wen Meng with you. He has been reflecting and training hard in the barracks for a long time. The shame of the past is considered hard work, I will hand him over to you, and I hope you can bring me back a qualified battlefield commander."

"This is an honor for my subordinates, please rest assured, my lord, the general will definitely live up to my lord's expectations..."

The word "peace" has never been absolute. With foreign enemies approaching the border, it is impossible for Chen Feng to sit idle and take the initiative to attack and keep the enemy at the door. This is in line with his usual style.

Chapter 838 Absolute Advantage 1

After some exhortations, Ma Chao's mission was confirmed. After resting for more than a year, this general Shenweitian will put on armor again to show his majesty.

However, since the north as a whole is about to enter a stage of rest and reorganization, even if Ma Chao wants to send troops, it is impossible to lead too many troops. After all, food and supplies are a problem.

Now, what Chen Feng has to do is to hoard food and grass in various parts of the north, so that the people can live a prosperous life, at least not to cause the people in the north to resent. view.

"Five thousand elite soldiers is already the limit. In addition, you can go to the Yongliang camp to pick more than [-] prisoners. This is all the troops you lead.

It's still the same as before, I will provide you with food and grass a few times, and weapons and armor will be sent to you regularly. Your task is first to feed your own troops, and then to expel the aliens.

From the Hu Qiang mixed grassland, troops were dispatched to the north, first patrolling in the northwest direction, and then all the way north, entering the depths of the grassland, looking for the remnants of the Huns, Xianbei and other alien tribes to fight. "

Pointing to the route on the map, Chen Feng was explaining to Ma Chao that Ma Chao was very familiar with Xiliang, and with his prestige among the Qiang people, it was a perfect place for him to send troops from here.

The difficulty of this battle is not too great. The biggest challenge is the limited rear support. Without enough food and grass, Ma Chao has to adopt the nomadic way to support the war.

Or grazing all the way and fighting all the way. After encountering the enemy, they must quickly gather, and when there are no enemies, they have to disperse and support themselves. Ma Chao is not unfamiliar with this kind of combat method, but it is also difficult.

"The end will understand, I wonder how long the lord will go on the expedition?"

"You can take care of this yourself. The main purpose of this battle is to expel the aliens who intend to approach our borders. You also know that the existence of these aliens is a huge threat to our frontier soldiers and people. What I want you to do is to defend against the enemy in front of us." outside the door.

In addition, you must have heard that the depths of the grassland have gradually become colder in recent years, which will prompt foreigners to move south one after another, and our frontier defenses will definitely be attacked by then.

According to the past tradition, most of the bandits killed us, and our army, the Han army and the people, worked together to fight.If the defense is successful, the enemy army will automatically retreat; if the defense fails, the enemy army will jump into the interior to plunder and leave.

Hmph, I really hate this kind of tradition. When I really think about it, what I admire the most are the famous Han generals Wei and Huo.

Meng Qi, your talent is unquestionable, and your ability is undeniable. I am very relieved of you, so you are fully responsible for the west area. I just say, if a thief can go, so can I. "

"No, the last general understands. Hmph, mere thieves, I will let them know how powerful I am as a big man."

The last sentence was Chen Feng's request to Ma Chao. This mighty general was exceptionally brave and unparalleled in ability. It would be a disaster for the barbarians if he led the troops.

"The garrisons in Zhangye and the West Sea will also give you some support. After you go west and patrol there, you can discuss the plan with the local garrisons. The west side will be entrusted to you.

At the same time, General Gao Lan will lead [-] troops from Yanmen to the north. His mission is similar to yours. Maybe you will meet up deep in the grassland.

If the war escalates, I will continue to send troops from Shanggu, Hedong and other places. Therefore, you must be more courageous and don't be afraid of trouble. It doesn't matter even if you make a huge mess. I am waiting for your success in Luoyang. "

"The last general will live up to the lord's expectations,,,,,,"

The dispatch of troops this time was actually avoidable, but Chen Feng likes to plan ahead. After all, the barbarians outside the Great Wall have a tendency to go south. Instead of preparing early for defense, it is better to take the initiative to attack and kill the enemy's vital forces.

Ma Chao and Gao Lan are not unfamiliar with such military operations. In previous years, Chen Feng had sent people deep into the grasslands to plunder, but this time the dispatch of troops seemed superfluous on the surface, but in the long run, the significance But extraordinary.

"This plan is called the Battle of Jiading. Both the Hu people and the Han people want to survive the natural disasters, but there are only so many places in the south that are suitable for survival, and most of them are in the hands of the Han people. The Hu people want to If I use a weapon to seize it, I can only fight back with a sword.

Hmph, as long as the population of the Hu people drops within a short period of time, or the population of the young and strong drops sharply, the food on the northern grasslands will not be too tight, and there will be no need for them to continue going south, Wenhe, what do you think, I Is this too harsh? "

"This is not so much that the lord is too ruthless, it is better to say that it is the misfortune of the Hu people and the luck of the Han people. If the lord does not do this, who can guarantee that it is not our soldiers and civilians who were massacred after decades? At least, the lord Giving those barbarians a chance to integrate is also giving them a way to survive."

"Maybe, I don't know what the history books will say about our group of people thousands of years later, maybe, my reputation as a butcher, Chen Feng, is doomed long ago, and it will not be changed no matter the wind or rain.

Heaven let me go through this world, maybe it is for me to do these things, no matter what my personal reputation is, as long as I can complete the task, I will die without regret..."

Chen Feng has never been relentless when dealing with foreign enemies. Although there are innocent people among foreign people, in this world, kindness cannot help him survive. What Chen Feng can do is to weaken the opponent's strength.

More than a month later, Ma Chao and Gao Lan sent troops one after another. Since the elite troops they took away did not exceed 1 and the rest were slaves, they basically did not affect the entire northern defense line.

And when some moralists in the Central Plains and the south heard that the butcher Chen Feng had sent troops to the north again, they all just cursed Chen Feng for being war-loving and cruel, and had no other reason to accuse Chen Feng.

The impact of this dispatch of troops is not obvious. Even with the shift of the work focus of the northern court, the people of the aristocratic family quickly turned their attention to farming and commerce. After all, survival and making money are their biggest priorities. Task.

After experiencing a bumper harvest in the summer, the states and counties near the south put more energy into the autumn harvest, especially those officials who have just taken office for a short time, but they are trying their best to earn a performance.

As for ordinary people, they have not yet emerged from the shadow of war and famine. What they want to do and what they can do is to hoard as much food as possible, first of all to ensure that they can eat enough.

Now that there is such a good environment and policies, the people who keep their own place can only hope that the seeds they sow will bear more fruits.As for those restless common people, they also turned their minds to business at this moment.

Chapter 839 Absolute Advantage 2

With the passage of time, the central plains and the north gradually regained their vitality. In just three years, under Chen Feng's rule, he no longer had to worry about food. During these three years, he continued to send troops out to fight.

Although the results of the battle were not great, they successfully expelled the foreign races that were about to migrate to the border of the Han Dynasty, or integrated these defeated foreign races, creating a stable environment.

In the past three years, Jiangdong and Yizhou have also made considerable progress.First of all, on the Jiangdong side, the navy has once again returned to the level of [-] people. For Sun Quan, who is in a corner, he still has enough capital.

As for Yizhou, too many things have happened in the past three years. The most famous thing is that Zhuge Liang led the army into Shu, and united with the remaining forces of the Sima family to dominate the southern part of Yizhou, becoming a new force in Yizhou.

Indistinctly, the three-point situation in the world seems to be becoming more and more obvious. After all, in the past three years, Chen Feng has never sent a single soldier to Jiangdong or Yizhou, and he has no intention of annexing them. It seems that Chen Feng has already Satisfied with the current sphere of influence.

But in fact, during these stable three years, Chen Feng devoted most of his energy to restoring people's livelihood. Sun Quan thought that he could look down on the world with a hundred thousand sailors, but he didn't know that the army under Chen Feng's command was no less than 70.
