When the wind of the times stirs up, whether it is resistance or embrace, for most ordinary people, nothing can be changed and they can only passively accept it.

Ding Lingtou stood on the hill, looking at the stretching desert below him, with a solemn and quiet expression. The night had not yet completely fallen, and sparse lights spread across the wilderness in the distance.

This Ding Ling man who was born and raised in the desert, ever since the Xianbei people began to show signs of decline, he ruthlessly and quickly began to occupy the pastures that originally belonged to Xianbei.

In the desert, livestock is equivalent to crops, and pasture is equivalent to acres.

Having more pasture means having more people and livestock, more people, more wealth, and more authority...

But the thin political structure of the Ding Ling people is like the clothes in the club. It seems to be there, but a piece is missing from the top and bottom, which is really a bit awkward. The Ding Ling people still control themselves to some extent and don't let their egos expand too fast, but

Those leaders who were originally small tribes began to undergo some not-so-good changes after their sudden and rapid expansion.

To put it simply, it means being arrogant and thinking that you can do it.

In the past few days, Ding Lingtou frequently issued various instructions, and tried his best to let some tribal leaders calm down and stabilize themselves, and even deliberately gave up some grassland areas that were relatively fiercely contested.

, to form a buffer zone, but the effect is not ideal.

The shortcomings of the Hu people's tribal system are fully exposed.

From a certain perspective, the tribal system of the Hu people is more like the feudal system of Western Europe. No matter how large the commander-in-chief is, he can only directly govern his own tribe, and other tribal leaders may submit to

The big leader, but the orders in his tribe are still issued by other tribal leaders. Once the orders of the leaders of other tribes violate the big leader...

In the past few days, every day at dusk, Ding Lingtou would stand on this hill and look out. No one knew what he was thinking about. Even the closest attendants and guards around him could only see Ding Lingtou's face.

From his back, he couldn't see what was hidden in Ding Lingtou's eyes.

The sunset is on the horizon.

Like a rolling wave of blood.

Although the war is only in the Youzhou area, and although the Ding Lingtou people try their best to restrain the tribe, there are always some people who think that they are very smart and can reap benefits and avoid dangers.

But if you want to eat cattle and sheep, how can your knife not be stained with blood?

This time...

I'm afraid that even if I want to hide, I can't.

Looking at the peaceful darkness under the night, he only felt a slight tremor in his heart.

……(〒︿〒)……

Youzhou.

Northern Territory.

Gongsun Du's first offensive out of Liaodong encountered a tough enemy.

The fierce fighting has lasted for five hours.

The killing continued from daytime until dusk.

It was getting dark, but the flames were still burning.

And the blood spreads along with the flames...

The entire Yuyang City has been dyed crimson red. Arrows with flames in the sky keep streaking across the sky. In the dimming of light and darkness, you can see the fallen corpses stretching out, some of which are injured but not dead.

The soldiers, holding their swords staggeringly, stood up again from the pool of blood. Up and down the city, countless canines were fighting each other. Some firelight illuminated the blood, and also illuminated the ferocious faces of the two sides fighting...

…

Not many people expected that Cao's army, which numbered only more than 2,000, could sustain the offensive of Gongsun's army for such a long time!

Noisy sounds surrounded the surroundings. On the high platform in the army, Gongsun Du was wearing a large cloak and standing under the general's flag. His eyes were fixed on the situation on the entire battlefield. He occasionally issued an order to send out reserve troops or to

Make adjustments to military formations to respond to changes on the battlefield.

It is not that Gongsun's army had no experience in attacking cities in Liaodong, but when dealing with Goguryeo, Fuyu, etc., which were all predecessors of Bangzi, the cities were small and weak. In many cases, the Bangzi in the city surrendered without even fighting.

So this is indeed the first time I have encountered such a difficult nut as Yuyang.

Naturally, Gongsun Du didn't know that Cao Jun's original defense system was to deal with Fei Qian. He even knew that Fei Qian had a "spell" that could directly break through doors, so he specially strengthened the city gate's defense structure, which happened to be blocked by Gongsun Du.

Got it.

Normally, a playground can accommodate about two to three thousand people, but this time the number of people fighting in Yuyang was close to 20,000...

There were only two thousand Cao Jun defenders in the city, but there were still residents in the city. It was precisely because of the help of these people that Yuyang was able to hold on for such a long time.

"Damn it!" Gongsun Du gritted his teeth.

Wasn't Gongsun Zan once the monarch of Yuyang? Didn't he control Youbei? Why is it that now that Gongsun Zan is flying under the city, the people of Yuyang just turn a blind eye and actually help the Cao thieves to defend the city?!

What do these damn stupid people think? Are their heads broken? Shouldn't it be that as soon as Gongsun Daqi arrived at the city, the people in the city cheered and then abandoned the secret and cooperated with the outside world?

At the beginning, Gongsun Du thought that the people in the city just didn't know they were coming, so they didn't take any action. After Gongsun Du sent people to send letters to the city to no avail, and saw the people in the city helping Cao Jun to defend the city, he finally made a complete decision.

I couldn't stand the thought of waiting for the response, but because of this I particularly hated the people of Yuyang.

After finally defeating Cao Chun, Yuyang was still unable to be conquered. Even if there were ships that could carry more supplies than land transshipment, there was no limit...

Today, we must capture Yuyang!

From the day the battle started, Gongsun Du had already mobilized all his soldiers and launched them on the Yuyang front. They continued to fight. In the battle that lasted for nearly five hours, he continued to consume the last remaining people in Yuyang City.

The resistance force, by this time, the fierce battle between the two sides had smeared the blood and lives of two to three thousand people on the city wall. If you have no feeling about this number, then you can imagine that the entire playground is full of corpses, and all the runways and sand

The pits are soaked with blood...

When Gongsun Du sent out troops, he had expected the difficulty of this battle, but what they didn't expect was that it would be so difficult from the beginning.

As the leader of a warlord who rose from a lowly position, Gongsun Du has groveled and licked his back yard along the way. He has tasted everything. Until now he has become the governor of Liaodong and a prince in the region. He wants to make great contributions.

I want to stand at the top of this world and compete with the heroes in the world.

The son of a fugitive has now become a master. Everyone saw Gongsun Du's brilliance, but who saw the dirt and scars under Gongsun Du's brocade robe?

Isn’t the endurance of humiliation in the past just for the sake of raising eyebrows today?

Gongsun Du attacked the city, and Cao Jun defended the city. As both sides of the battle, Gongsun Du didn't have much resentment towards Cao Jun, but these people in Yuyang didn't know what to do!

"..." Gongsun Du stared at the blood-like sunset on the horizon, then turned to look at Yuyang City, then looked at his own soldiers who had been fighting hard for a day, and finally issued an order, "Come here... pass the order! If the city is destroyed today,

, then you can’t help it for three days! Whatever you get, you can take it by yourself!"

The order was passed on...

Waves of howling sounds could be heard.

Like a wild beast.

The flag of Cao Jun on the head of Yuyang City finally fell down under the impact of wave after wave...

……‵(●●)‵……

Hedong.

Spring is full of beauty.

The tricolor flag fluttered high in the wind.

"Look, it's actually very simple, right?" Fei Qian asked Fei Zhen.

Feizhen nodded.

Things in Hedong are not complicated in the first place.

"Father..." Fei Zhen said with some confusion, "Why do these people... do such stupid things?"

"Is it stupid?" Fei Qian asked.

Feizhen nodded seriously.

"But in their feelings, they don't feel that they are stupid..." Fei Qian said, "They even think that we are stupid at the beginning... Afterwards, if you deduce the process based on the results, you will find a lot of

Fools, but only those who can avoid them beforehand can be considered truly wise..."

"So... is Pei Juguang a wise man?" Feizhen asked.

Fei Qian said: "What do you think?"

"I don't think he counts... well, at least half of it..." Fei Zhen thought for a while, "If he can do the right thing from the beginning... then he can almost be..."

Fei Qian nodded, "Doing the right thing? So there's nothing wrong with that. Then do you know why he didn't do the right thing from the beginning?"

Feizhen thought for a moment, "He didn't expect that?"

"Maybe, but I think it was because his wisdom at that time was eaten by his own arrogance..." Fei Qian said slowly, "But luckily he was only eaten half... so

...That's it..."

"What about us? Father, are you a wise man?" Feizhen asked, raising her head again.

Fei Qian laughed, "What do you think?"

"It must be a wise man!" Fei Zhen shouted, waving her fist.

Fei Qian shook his head, "When you have this idea, arrogance comes... So I would rather think that I am a fool, and I will be deceived anytime and anywhere... Be careful and ask more questions... I would rather be slow in advance."

It's better to have some than to regret later..."
