Three Kingdoms

You can only tell half of the reasons with Liu Biao, but you have to tell the whole story with Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family. After all, even if Fei Qian doesn't tell one thing, with the good relationship between the Huang family and the Pang family, sooner or later Huang Chengyan will be with Pang Degong. Knowing Fei Qian's purpose, Huang Chengyan of the Huang family is also his father-in-law, so there is no need to hide it.

Huang Chengyan listened quietly. He also felt that he was not completely sure about Fei Qian's entire plan. After all, it involved too many things and he would be in trouble if he was not careful. The key is that now everyone in Guandong is rebelling against Dong. It is indeed too risky for a large number of soldiers to gather together.

As people get older, they think of more retreats and their desire for success is not that high. So although Huang Chengyan understood Fei Qian's intention, he still said: "Xian son-in-law, if I go after this battle is over... …”

What Huang Chengyan meant was that he didn't have to go at this time. Could he wait until the battle was over and the dust settled before taking action? After all, it was the most tense moment when Dong Zhuo and the Guandong nobles were at war with each other.

If we wait until the battle is over and there is a winner and loser, then wouldn't it be safer to approach the winner and go in the name of the winner?

Fei Qian shook his head and said: "Master Yuezhang, this battle cannot be over in a short time, and..." Fei Qian felt that it was still necessary to go at this point in time. Although it is true that the safety will be enhanced after the battle is over, it still It loses its original meaning.

So Fei Qian said: "...There is no winner in this battle...Only now is the best time..."

Did the Kanto gentry win? If driving Dong Zhuo away is considered a win, then it can be said to be a win. However, Dong Zhuo did not suffer any serious injuries in this battle. He chose to withdraw from Luoyang. It was not so much that he was beaten by the Kwantung Allied Forces, but that Dong Zhuo himself deliberately retreated...

Moreover, after Dong Zhuo ran away, the Kwantung Allied Forces rushed to seize territory and attacked their own people. Their cruel and greedy appearance was not much worse than Dong Zhuo's, so it is hard to say whether the Kwantung gentry won.

Of course, if Dong Zhuo could strengthen his troops in Chang'an and wait for the civil strife among the Kwantung gentry before coming out to clean up the mess, then history would naturally change somewhat. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo died in the end...

Naturally, Fei Qian will not tell Huang Chengyan about the future, and Fei Qian himself is not sure that the things in his memory will happen 100%. After all, his current wife is Huang Yueying, and Xiao Zhuge is here It's hard to tell who to go to...

So Fei Qian just analyzed the current situation to Huang Chengyan and said: "...Two tigers are fighting each other, and each has casualties. Only when the two tigers' attention is on each other, can there be a chance. …”

Huang Chengyan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Since you have made your decision, my dear son-in-law, I have no choice but to support you... However, everything should be done with caution and don't be too pushy..."

Then Huang Chengyan said: "Tell me, what do you need the Huang family to do for you? We are all one family, no need to be polite." Huang Chengyan is not a simple-minded person as the head of the Huang family. Since Fei Qian came here in person, he will To tell the whole plan, it's not just because he is his son-in-law, he probably needs some other help from the Huang family.

Fei Qian was a little embarrassed when Huang Chengyan saw through it, but he still said shamelessly: "My father-in-law Mingjian, I really need the help of Huang family craftsmen to make some utensils here..."

After hearing this, Huang Chengyan nodded and said: "These problems are not big. They can be produced in almost one day tomorrow, but where will your manpower come from?"

"After entering the city yesterday to say goodbye to Governor Liu, my son-in-law has already gone around to the camp in the west of the city. The Cai family has agreed to send the one hundred archers over tomorrow..."

Huang Chengyan glared and said angrily: "You must use Cai family members for such matters! Are you the son-in-law of the Huang family or the Cai family?"

Fei Qian smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't there no one? You don't need too many people for this matter. Although Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng said they had eight hundred soldiers and armor to protect them, it is estimated that Liu Biao would send another People are in charge, so it’s not easy to count..."

It's not that Fei Qian is brave and uses other people's soldiers casually, it's because he has been in the Han Dynasty for a long time and knows something about this aspect.

During the Han Dynasty, among the three princes, Sima, also known as Taiwei, held the highest military position and was in charge of military affairs, but he did not have the power to exercise military orders, that is, he did not have the right to directly command troops. The most important military officers who really have the right to mobilize troops and horses are generals with various titles such as generals, generals of hussars, generals of chariots and cavalry, generals of guard, and other official names.

General Miscellaneous is an honorary title, and most of them do not have the right to establish government offices. Except for some special circumstances, for example, if Sun Jian's Polu general is sealed in the north, then it means a real seal. You can set up your own management organization based on the confrontation with the barbarians in the north.

The titles of General, General of Hussars, General of Chariots and Generals of Guards clearly allow for the establishment of their own management agencies. The four generals of the front, rear, left and right are within the range that can be set or not set. The following generals with correct names are basically those who are named during wartime. It was only temporarily established and was canceled after the war.

In the earliest days of the Han Dynasty, there was a military service system, but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu reformed the military system and abolished the rotation system of officers and soldiers in counties and counties. Soldiers were mainly recruited.

Most of the people raised were farmers and refugees, a small number were officials or common people who had committed crimes but were exempted from crime, and freed slaves. Select "brave men" with good health, courage and excellent skills to join the army. Sometimes the recruitment was insufficient, and prisoners were sent as soldiers, which were called banished soldiers, and the "seven subjects of banishment" were implemented.

So today's soldiers are basically recruited, including the soldiers in the west camp of Xiangyang City, as well as the one hundred archers who are no longer in the establishment that the Cai family promised to Fei Qian.

For example, General He Jin sent Bao Xin to recruit soldiers, which also fell into this type. Including county guards from various places, they have some soldiers under their command. Most of these soldiers are recruited, and they are recruited with the money and food provided by the imperial court. Because the money and food are not distributed directly by the imperial court, but by these generals. Or the county governor would distribute the food on his behalf, so the custom of serving as a soldier and obeying whoever distributed the money and food was formed.

If this were not the case, Fei Qian would really not dare to use the Cai family's soldiers.

Huang Chengyan snorted and said: "Although the Huang family does not have more private soldiers than the Cai family, there are still a few. I will go find some people for you tomorrow to supplement the team. It will be more convenient to use them."

"Thank you so much, my father-in-law!"

"Hmph! What about the craftsmen accompanying the army?"

"Of course I want this, thank you father-in-law!"

"Hmph! Where are the armored weapons?"

"...Thank you, father-in-law!"

"..." It was finally clear that Fei Qian had nothing but those hundred people. Who said he was the son-in-law of the Huang family? Huang Chengyan glared and said: "...Okay Well, let me arrange these! You should go to the backyard and have a good talk with Yueying, and you run out not long after the wedding... Humph!"

Fei Qian quickly agreed and left with his head in his arms...
