Farmer of Shu Han - Chapter 1268

  Chapter 1268 Sincerity

  The war horse rented and sold by the great Han to the state of Wu was the Hequ horse.

   is the second best horse in Dahan – the first is Liangzhou Dama.

   But Liangzhou Dama is mainly an excellent horse breed carefully selected by Dahan from Liangzhou.

   Then they used the relationship of the Zhang family in Dunhuang, the Xinghan Association, and various caravans to continuously introduce Tianma from the Western Regions using the unique materials of the Han Dynasty.

  Using the unique animal husbandry technology of the Han Dynasty, after years of scientific cultivation, the high-quality war horses produced.

   is the main source of armored riding equipment and war horses, and it is also the most important strategic war horse for the Han Dynasty. It is definitely impossible to give it to Wu.

  Hequ horses are native to the Huangshui area of ​​the West Sea. They are mostly called “Qin horses” in Yongliang, and some people call them “Huangshui horses” and even “Fan horses”.

   Later, Feng Da Sima specially sent people to open a horse farm in Huangshui, and uniformly called the good horses he produced Hequ horses.

   Takes the meaning of “good horses produced in the meanders of big rivers”.

  The Hequ horseshoe is as big as a bowl, with a large and coordinated body, rich bones, plump muscles, and obvious joints.

  Hequ horses that are a little better can be used as war horses, second-class horses can be used as draft horses, and middle-class horses can be harnessed and ridden. They are very cost-effective horses.

  The only shortcoming is that the horseshoe is a little thinner and the hoof quality is a little softer.

   Before the iron horseshoe made by Feng Da Sima was spread, the Hequ horse was easy to use, but it was more expensive.

  Of course, with the horseshoe, this shortcoming is no longer a shortcoming.

  But when we arrived in Jiangdong, it was different.

  Who said Jiangnan is humid and rainy?

   In addition, Wu Guo is not like a big man, capable of training so many professional livestock personnel.

  Especially since the Sun family has been in charge of Jiangdong for so many years, those generals who followed from Jiangbei and who can ride and fight have long since died.

   Otherwise, it would not be necessary to send people to Han to study.

   Not to mention that Jiangdong does not produce war horses.

  Whether in the military or civilians, there is no experience in managing and caring for a large number of horses.

  So after the Hequ horse arrived in Wu State, it was a matter of course that a large number of Hequ horses fell ill and suffered a loss.

   But Feng Da Sima is not a god, he rented and sold war horses to Soochow with good intentions, and that was for the great cause of thieves.

  How could there be a way to anticipate this happening in advance, right?

  Sun Quan naturally also knew that Feng Da Sima was not a god—at most he probably knew something about the gods.

  Perhaps, the sect he defected from knew the real art of cultivating immortals.

  After all, even the most secret things related to Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, such as “Insect Valley of the Dian Kingdom”, were recorded by his teacher.

  So Sun Quan sent people here to ask for help, not to ask for guilt.

   “School Qin, our friendship belongs to friendship, but you can’t rely on our friendship, just open your mouth like this?”

  Feng Da Sima squinted at Qin Bo, the disappointment in his eyes was filled with consternation, and the shock in his face was filled with anger.

  The expression of being stabbed in the back by the dearest comrade and most trusted ally is vividly displayed.

   Facing Feng Da Sima’s reproachful and questioning eyes, Qin Bo felt a little guilty.

  After all these years, who has not benefited from the business with the big man in the school office?

  As for people like Lu Xiaoshu and himself, there are extra bonuses every year.

   Whether Feng Da Sima treats his brothers or his friends, he is indeed as rumored, and has never treated him badly.

   Now that I came here by myself, making such an excessive request is really hard to say.

  But seeing Qin Bo cupped his hands at Feng Da Sima, with a look of shame on his face, he said apologetically:

   “Da Sima, it’s not that someone is trying to make things difficult, but because he has the emperor’s mandate, he has no choice but to do so!”

   “Kuangfu Da Wu and Da Han are allies. Your Majesty is doing this to seek the great cause of thieves. Just like last year, if I Da Wu had iron cavalry, I could break Xiangyang in the west and take Hefei in the east.”

   “At that time, my Great Wu was from south to north, and the Great Han was from north to south. It can’t be said that at this time, we have joined forces by the river.”

   “Heh!” Feng Da Sima sneered, “You didn’t say that last year was fine, but when you mention this, I still get angry!”

   As he spoke, he pointed at Qin Bo with two fingers, and raised his voice:

   “The land general of your Wu State asked me to pinch the Jingbei bandits. For the sake of the overall situation, I led the army as promised.”

   “Who would have thought that he would be very calculating, let me attract the main force of the thieves, but he himself took advantage of the emptiness of Xiangyang and led a large army to attack and take it.”

   “How much money did I spend on food, and I also rented weapons to you Wu people, and borrowed money and food. In the end, your top general made amazing achievements, how about me?”

   “The great general of your Wu State made a good plan to let my big man spend money, food and troops in vain, and he will take advantage of it. I’m afraid it won’t work out?”

  Qin Bo was a little embarrassed when he heard the words:

“What is Da Sima talking about? Da Wu and Da Han are fighting for thieves together, how can we divide you and me? Besides, when the two countries made an oath to divide the world equally, Jingzhou belonged to my country of Wu. Did Da Sima forget? “

  Feng Da Sima heard the words, and immediately laughed out loud, full of sarcasm:

   “Of course I haven’t forgotten, not only have I not forgotten, but I have a very good memory!”

   “If I remember correctly, when the late emperor started his business in the past, he also formed an alliance with Jiangdong. After the First World War in Chibi, you Jiangdong asked the late emperor for Jingzhou on the grounds of spending more money, food, and horses.”

   “Why are you talking like this now?”

  Qin Bo’s face changed drastically when he heard the words!

  The matter of Jingzhou has been a taboo for the two countries since the re-alliance between Han and Wu.

  If you can not mention it, it is best not to mention it.

   At this time, Feng Da Sima pointed out in front of Qin Bo that, apart from the status of the Han and Wu countries, these years have quietly changed.

   It can be seen that Feng Da Sima is actually surprisingly angry at this time.

  But seeing that he seems to have lost control of his emotions:

   “You keep saying that you are allies. Is this how your general treats allies?”

   “Not to mention that the top general of your state of Wu asked me to lead an army to hunt for thieves in the south, but Sima Yi in the north seemed to know about it in advance. Coincidentally, he immediately sent troops to the party.”

   “Come on, come on, Mr. Qin, tell me about it. This matter has really puzzled me for a long time. Please clear it up for me?”

  Qin Bodeng was sweating all over his head, and repeatedly argued:

   “Da Sima, this is definitely a coincidence!”

  Feng Da Sima sneered “ha”:

   “If it were someone else, I would naturally believe it was a coincidence, but your great general…”

  Disdain floated on his face:

   “It’s not the first time for him. That’s how he took advantage of my uncle’s trust back then, which caused my uncle to be decapitated in a different place, and he can’t be buried properly until now.”

“Now,” Da Sima Feng put one hand on his knee, leaned slightly, and stared at Qin Bo coldly, “Senior Qin, how can you prove, how can I believe that he didn’t do it on purpose this time? “

  Uncle?

  Qin Bo’s mind turned for a while before he realized that he was talking about Guan Yunchang.

Yes!

  Qin Bo was shocked when he heard Feng Da Sima’s words!

   At that moment, he felt that he had caught the reason for Feng Da Sima’s uncharacteristic behavior.

  Feng Da Sima is the son-in-law of the Guan family!

  After thinking up to this point, Qin Bo remembered a big event:

   I heard that Master Feng Da Sima died in the battle of Yiling!

  If it is said that in the first battle of Jingzhou, the top general was half the mastermind.

   Then, in the battle of Yiling, the top general will be the coach.

  So, how could Feng Da Sima not have any grudges against the great general in his heart?

   I’m afraid not only there are, but they are not small.

  Last year’s battle, from Da Sima’s point of view, he suspected that he was put together by the top general, and he felt even more resentful in his heart.

  Having figured this out, Qin Bo has fully understood it.

  But soon, another thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

   Without it.

  Because even if he knew, for a while, he couldn’t think of any way, how to persuade Feng Da Sima.

   After all, it was revenge for killing his father and uncle.

  If he accidentally said the wrong thing, Feng Da Sima might even feel resentful towards himself.

  To intercede with Lu Boyan, it is really not worth it to put yourself on the line.

  In the early years, when the walls of the school office fell down and everyone pushed them down, Lu Boyan often gave performances to His Majesty, saying that he and others were wrong.

  However, if one wants to accomplish what His Majesty has instructed, one must first resolve the resentment in Feng Da Sima’s heart.

This this…

  Qin Bo secretly complained in his heart, and at the same time couldn’t help but slander:

  Lu Boyan, oh Lu Boyan, you really killed me!

  Qin Bo, who was born in the school office, is naturally not a gentleman, let alone a good person, but a complete villain.

  Encountered the current situation, he naturally had to consider the problem from his own point of view.

  So under the intertwined old and new grievances, he actually had some resentment towards Lu Xun.

  In the early years, when the school government was making troubles in Wu State, making people avoid ghosts, Qin Bo had already understood one thing:

  It takes a lot of energy to help people get things done; and sometimes it takes a few words to get bad people to get things done.

   Not to mention that Feng Da Sima in front of him is now the number one minister of the Han Dynasty.

  Not only can he easily do bad things, but he also wants to help himself to do things easily.

  Using himself to judge others, Qin Bo did not hesitate too much, and said bravely:

   “Great Sima Rongzhi, since His Majesty moved the capital to Jianye, he has already entrusted all matters in Jingzhou to the Supreme General.”

   “Besides, in the first battle last year, His Majesty personally led the army to attack Hefei in the east. How could he be distracted from the war in Jingzhou?”

   “So the Battle of Xiangyang was planned by the Great General himself. If there is any inconsideration, it is because the Great General offended the Great Sima unintentionally. What does it have to do with Your Majesty?”

   “To come to the Expo today is at the order of His Majesty, not the order of the Great General. The Great Sima has a personal grievance against the Great General, but involves His Majesty, which makes no sense.”

   “Kuang Bo is now an official business, but Da Sima is blocking it with personal grievances. At that time, everyone will say that Da Sima does not distinguish between public and private, and that private affairs are private, and Da Sima is worried about Bo’s theft.”

  As for the Jingzhou matter, anyway, Feng Da Sima only mentioned it vaguely, and didn’t dare to make it too clear. Qin Bo was naturally happy to pretend to be confused.

   After all, Han and Wu are still allies of each other, so things that affect the overall situation will naturally not be said in person.

   “What a good sentence to plan independently!”

   Who is Feng Da Sima?

  Want to talk smartly in front of him and cover up his mistakes?

  But seeing him pointing at Qin Bo, he said unmoved:

   “School Qin, according to what you said, isn’t it the territory of Wu State that your top general took down Xiangyang?”

   “Isn’t it true that I, a big man, spent so much money, food, weapons and sergeants?”

   “Could it be that because of a letter from your great general, my troops in Guanzhong were empty, and Wei thieves took the opportunity to attack Shangdang, can it be regarded as nothing happened?”

   After asking three consecutive questions, Feng Da Sima withdrew his hands and put them on his knees. Da Ma Jin Dao asked:

   “You Wu State has won so many benefits from the Wei thieves, and now you want to ask us for benefits from the big man. Do you want to take all the good things in this world?”

   “Da Sima’s words are wrong! A certain person came here to fight against the thieves between Wu and Han. How could it be an advantage?”

   Now that things are going on, Qin Bo can only insist on “fighting for thieves together” to talk about things.

  Feng Da Sima laughed again, patted his knee vigorously, and said:

   “School Officer Qin keeps saying that the Han and Wu are allies, and they want to fight against the thieves together. Now, you have gained huge benefits, but you just don’t want to answer directly how to compensate the Han?”

   As he spoke, he shook his head, “Master Qin, you are embarrassing me like this! As an ally, the benefits should be shared equally. How can one party take all the benefits?”

“Sincerity, Qin school!” Feng Da Sima stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers, “Sincerity! You have to show sincerity, so that I can believe that you came here this time to continue fighting against the big man. “

  Seeing Feng Da Sima’s actions and hearing the word “sincerity”, Qin Bo was startled.

   Then, bitterness appeared on his face:

   “Don’t hide it from Da Sima, don’t look at Da Wu this time. He won a big victory and took Xiangyang, but that was going north with all the soldiers of the whole country, and the money and food consumed were countless.”

   “Part of our food and supplies are still supported by Da Sima. Presumably Da Sima knows the situation of our Great Wu best.”

   “Now Da Sima asks us to be sincere, isn’t this deliberately embarrassing us?”

   “Hey,” Da Sima Feng waved his hand, “School Officer Qin, what you said is not sincere!”

   As he spoke, Feng Da Sima stood up, walked to the screen behind him, and stretched out his hand.

   “Wow!”

  The curtain that originally covered the screen was torn off, revealing a huge map hanging on it.

   “School Qin, please come and take a look.”

  When Qin Bo heard this, he quickly got up and followed closely.

   Take a closer look, alas!

   Isn’t this the map of Jingzhou?

  Nanjun and Xiangyang are marked most conspicuously.

   But this map is much more detailed than the ones I have seen before.

   Before Qin Bo could think about it, Feng Da Sima’s voice sounded in his ear:

   “Look at the Qin school affairs, here!”

   I saw Feng Da Sima drawing a big circle between Nanjun and Xiangyang with a long whip.

   “Before this place, it was the most fertile land in Jingzhou, but it was barren for many years because of the Wei thieves in Xiangyang in the north.”

   “Now that your top general has taken Xiangyang, then this place, I’m afraid it won’t be long before it will become countless fertile fields again.”

   As he spoke, Feng Da Sima looked at Qin Bo meaningfully:

   “In a few years, Jingzhou may be self-sufficient in food, and we don’t need the support of our big men…”

  Qin Bo looked at Feng Da Sima in shock:

   “What does Da Sima mean by this?”

  Feng Da Sima looked at Qin Bo mockingly, and threw away the long whip:

   “School Qin, this is the time, if you don’t show enough sincerity, I don’t think we need to talk anymore!”
