"Sun Tzu said: In all the methods of using troops, the whole country is the best, the country is the next best, the whole army is the best, the army is the next best; the whole brigade is the best, the brigade is the next best; the whole soldiers are the best, the soldiers are the next best; the whole army is the next best, the army is the next best. Therefore, the battles are the best, the good ones are not good; the soldiers who defeat others without fighting are the good ones.

Most people don’t understand it, it doesn’t matter. In fact, the meaning of this passage is the next sentence. Therefore, the top soldiers attack the plan, the next one is to attack the diplomatic relations, the next one is to attack the troops, and the next one is to attack the cities. If you can defeat the troops without fighting, such victory is the most worthwhile..."

On the second day of June, in Yangdi Camp, Chen Fei was personally teaching the officers under his command.

Nowadays, Chu Liang, Chen Qun, Hu Zhao and others have troubled the government affairs, and Runan is handed over to Yuan Huan, Li Tong, and Chen Fei when he is free, and just takes advantage of his spare time to teach the officers.

Of course, he is not "teached without distinction". Those who can listen to the "exquisite military strategy" must at least be middle-level military officers with a captain of 100 people. Considering the factors such as rotation, patrolling counties, and arresting bandits, there are only 40 or 50 people listening to the class each time.

Wang Chong thought about it and immediately learned from it:

"The so-called army that defeats others without fighting is like a mansion, just surrounding Xihua, Ruyang, and Huang Shao will surrender voluntarily?"

Every teacher likes such smart students, and Chen Fei is no exception:

"Yes, you can imagine that if Huang Shao had defended the city at that time, with our army and Chen State's 20,000 troops, and wanted to rely on brute force to attack Ruyang and Xihua, how many soldiers would die?"

Many people are shaking their heads:

"Many of our soldiers went to the battlefield for the first time. Although they had been training for half a year, most of them had never killed the enemy with real swords and guns. If they were asked to carry the ladder to climb the city, they would probably be scared to death halfway through!"

"Stop talking about soldiers, how many of us who are captains and battalion commanders have seen blood and killed people on the battlefield?"

This issue is actually something Chen Fei is worried about.

So far, although he has led the team to kill He Man, besiege Huang Shao, force Liu Pi to surrender, and expel He Yi. It seems that he has fought four battles, but if you count it carefully, only the five hundred cavalry have truly killed the enemy. The vast majority of infantry play a role in the battlefield is to act as background boards...

He was about to emphasize to the officers that combat experience was also important, but he felt that the whole room seemed to be shaking.

"Boom boom boom..."

His face changed drastically, and he immediately threw down the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand, rushed out the door while reminding others:

"Earthquake! Run!"

The students who were still discussing military tactics were suddenly in chaos and rushed out, and some even jumped out of the window!

By the time everyone fled to the open space, the earthquake had stopped.

Chen Fei breathed a sigh of relief. According to experience, this earthquake may be less than magnitude 4. Apart from fear, it will not have too many negative impacts on the production and life of ordinary people.

But...what if the source of the earthquake was not in Yangdi at all?

-

Sure enough, Chu Liang and Chen Qun quickly investigated.

On the second day of the sixth month and the third day of the day, Sili suffered continuous earthquakes, so the tremor was obvious even when it was far away in Yangdi.

Those who arrived in Yangdi with the tremor were Guo Jia and Yang Zhi, as well as the envoy sent by the court, Zhong Yao, the Minister of the Huangmen.

"The people of the thirty-seven counties in Runan have suffered from the Yellow Turban for a long time. Now the prefect of Yingchuan Fei Fei and crossed the border to attack him, and more than 2 million people were relieved. Their achievements were great. He also sent envoys to contribute thousands of grain and grain, and his loyalty was sincere. He recorded his achievements and loyalty. He specially envoyed the Huangmen Shilang, Yao ordered an edict to be appointed as the General of the Eastern Expedition and the Marquis of Duting. He also sent a commander to the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan, and gave him another thousand good horses. He respected my orders to commend my wishes. On May 20, the first year of Xingping."

After Zhong Yao finished reciting, he rolled up the edict and handed it to Chen Fei solemnly.

Chen Fei took it with both hands, but there was no look of excitement on his face, but just bowed to Zhong Yao:

"The envoy came from a long journey and worked hard all the way. Please take a seat and drink a sip of wine to relieve fatigue."

Zhong Yao bowed and returned the gift:

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

After he sat down, he bowed again:

"Yingchuan has suffered disasters for years. Now I am lucky to meet the Lord of the Mansion, so I can barely be safe in the chaotic times. I am also from Yingchuan. This time I came here through Lun and Yangcheng counties. I saw the stability of the people with my own eyes. Compared with Henan, it is really in heaven and earth!"

He had just been promoted and was given a title and was supplemented by the war horse. Chen Fei was of course very happy after hearing the praise:

"Mr. Yuan Chang is too famous. I was a man from Fufeng Township. By chance, I lived in a large county in the Central Plains. I was already trembling. Now I am also in charge of Runan. I often feel that I am not able to do it. The Zhong family is a famous family. If there are wise and virtuous children who come out of the mountain to relieve my worries, they must treat it with courtesy."

How could Zhong Yao not hear such obvious kindness:

"You have a good fellow disciple, and now he stayed in the hometown of Changshe. However, the younger brother is short-sighted, which may disappoint the Duke."

Chen Fei said seriously:

"The difference between Yuan Changgong's words is that the Zhong family has a family background. I am eager to be talented. Anyone with a skill, whether it is virtuous, talented, brave, diligent, or honest, can be used. I will trouble Yuan Changgong to recommend it to me, so that I can display my talents and ambitions."

Zhong Yao no longer refuses:

"Since the Lord of the Mansion is so kind, how dare I refuse? I will write a letter and persuade my brother to come to Yangdi to serve the Lord of the Mansion."

Chen Fei achieved his goal and bowed with a smile:

"Thank you, Yuan Changgong. Since the official business has been completed, let's talk about his affairs. How can Doctor Wenhe be happy in the near future?"

Zhong Yao also smiled:

"I also visited Wenhegong before leaving. Everything was safe, and these thousand good horses were what he wanted from Li Jie."

Chen Fei nodded. Of course he knew that if Jia Xu, Li Jue, Guo Si and others might still be promoted, but if they wanted to gain real benefits, they would probably have to increase the difficulty of several levels.

As an envoy, Guo Jia finally spoke:

"Li Jue has already given me a hint that if the Duke can give him tens of thousands of stones of grain, let alone the mere General of the East and Duting Hou, he can directly give you the governor of Yuzhou, the governor of Yuzhou, and even the general!"

Chen Fei couldn't help laughing:

"What's the use of these official positions that are in name but not real? Isn't there anything more affordable?"

Guo Jia nodded:

“Of course there is.”

Chen Fei was stunned:

"What else can they give?"

Guo Jia spread his hands:

"Fujun's family."

Chen Fei sneered:

"My parents and younger siblings died of famine and plague two years ago. Where can I have any home now..."

He suddenly reacted:

"You mean..."

Guo Jia shrugged:

"That's right, Wen He Gong is the leader and has sent more than 30 relatives from the Duke in his hometown to Yangdi!"

Chen Fei suddenly felt a toothache!

[What's the use of these relatives who have already separated from each other?!]

[I am not Cao Cao, nor are they Cao Hong and Cao Ren!]
