Three Kingdoms

Yin Feng sat on the horse and glanced at the deserted refugee village not far away.

Yin Feng was from Liangzhou.

The blood of Liangzhou people is not cold.

Liangzhou is also called Yongzhou. The name Liangzhou officially appeared in the third year of Yuanshuo in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed Yongzhou to Liangzhou. Because of its golden industry and cold land, it led all the lands in Hexi and administered counties, There are twelve countries and ninety-eight counties.

Judging from the establishment of Liangzhou and its subsequent jurisdiction, Liangzhou has always been at the forefront of the Han Dynasty's defense, shouldering the responsibility of defending nomads from the south, west, and north, and defending Guanzhong, while the Guanzhong area The heartland of the Han Dynasty cannot be lost.

Even so, the people of Liangzhou and the people of the Central Plains of Han Dynasty are still incompatible with each other. The relationship between them was very poor, especially after Dong Zhuo.

This situation did not seem to warm up until the hussar general Fei Qian conquered Xiliang. The reason is not complicated. Due to the evolution of Liangzhou policies during the Han Dynasty, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a serious lack of mutual trust and mutual respect between the Liangzhou people and the imperial court and other places in the Han Dynasty. As a result, the Liangzhou people had a deep hatred for the Han people in the Central Plains. Doubts and wariness.

Yin Feng came out in Liangzhou, and since he was a child, although he is also a local big family, unlike Jizhou and Yuzhou, his life is stable, rich and satisfying, and blood and fire things often happen.

Yin Feng had four uncles, but none of them lived to old age...

Is it for the burly Lord?

perhaps. But none of the four uncles who died got anything, not even a verbal commendation. But even so, when the barbarians made trouble, the uncles still picked up their swords and went to the battlefield. .

Not because Yin Feng's uncles were so enlightened, but because they knew that if they didn't fight, no one else would.

Due to the huge financial pressure, some people within the Han Dynasty repeatedly proposed to shrink the defense line, abandon Liangzhou, and move the border residents inward. Although it was not carried out with great fanfare due to the strong opposition of officials from Liangzhou, in fact, the Han Dynasty However, they continued to quietly reduce the size of the border garrison, shrink the defense line, and at the same time encourage border residents to move inward.

Some local counties and counties even used coercive measures for so-called political achievements, arresting people and burning their houses, etc., forcing Liangzhou people to migrate. So some people shouted, "The land is boundless, and the country will perish without bounds." Therefore, if Liangzhou is lost, Sanfu will be the border; if Sanfu moves in, Hongnong will be the border; if Hongnong moves in, Luoyang will be the border. Based on this, even though the East China Sea is as far away as possible, there is still a border. 』

However, the central officials of the Han Dynasty still turned a deaf ear. Anyway, as long as there were no problems during their tenure, as for what happened next, it was a problem for future officials.

Originally, Yin Feng thought that Liangzhou had no hope, until the three-color flag appeared on the land of Liangzhou that day...

The thing that Liangzhou people are most looking forward to has happened. They are no longer nonsense people who just want to gain political achievements, seize land, and then go back with gold and silver to serve as local officials in Liangzhou and take charge of Liangzhou Long. On the right is Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei.

Maybe for other places, this kind of thing is nothing, but for these Liangzhou people in Liangzhou and other areas, they almost shed tears when they hear such news...

Liangzhou people just hope to have an official who understands the situation of Liangzhou people and understands the suffering of Liangzhou people. Even if this official does nothing, it is better than those who just think about how to make money every day, how to set up cards to charge, and how to make money. The guy who collects taxes from big and small families is a hundred times stronger!

Jia Xu obviously did better. In addition to agricultural matters such as building water conservancy, repairing roads, cultivating fields, breeding and planting, etc., Jia Xu also recommended many local people in Liangzhou, such as Yin Feng, Liang Kuan, Zhao Heng, etc.

General Hussar would not reject anyone recommended by Jia Xu. Although he was not granted any high position upon arrival, for Liangzhou people, as long as they have the words "treat all people equally", it is enough!

Yin Feng did not command thousands of troops from the beginning or serve as a general. Now he is just a scout leader. Of course, as the most elite unit under the Hussars, it is not accessible to ordinary people.

Yin Feng had led people through Heluo before, but at that time most of his attention was on the mountains and ravines where soldiers and horses could be hidden. He didn't pay much attention to such refugee gathering spots, but This time, Yin Feng once again received an order for investigation, and the requirement was to be comprehensive and meticulous...

There are many deserted villages like this in the Heluo area, and it can even be said that they are almost everywhere around Luoyang City. These villages were originally in good locations, with fields and water, suitable for farming and living. Therefore, it is natural for these refugees to choose to stay in such places.

As the commander of Luoyang, Yang Xiu did not manage these refugees like a hussar general. On the one hand, he had relatively insufficient financial and material resources. On the other hand, he was probably worried about being suspected of trying to win people's hearts. Of course, the poor quality of these refugees and their lack of interest is also an important factor. Therefore, it is basically in a relatively laissez-faire state. As long as these refugees do not cause trouble, officials will not be specially sent to do anything.

In such deserted villages, these refugees may continue to move westward into Guanzhong, and some may stay here and become new residents of these deserted villages.

Yin Feng's eyes slowly swept over.

Everything seems to be normal...

The refugees, who had been on the verge of starvation for a long time, were not very interested in the arrival of Yin Feng and others, and did not even bother to take a second look. Of course, there won't be any blind guy who wants to take advantage of Yin Feng and others. These refugees use their hands, simple sticks and stones to dig and cut everything they can find to eat. Once they find some food, they will rush back to their respective small groups and then carry out Cook, portion.

Of course, such refugees have become relatively stable. Perhaps after a while, when these people overcome their endless desire to eat and can wait patiently for Zhuang He's harvest, they will no longer be refugees, but A new farmer in this place.

A gust of wind blew, and there seemed to be some familiar smell mixed with Yin Feng...

Yin Feng sniffed and said to a veteran scout on the side: "Did you smell something?" 』

The veteran scout raised his head and sniffed viciously, "It smells like blood...human blood..."

Human blood contains some special compounds that are not found in ordinary animals. When the smell of these compounds is mixed in the air, it will irritate some people and animals with keen sense of smell.

Yin Feng put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, and the three nearby scouts immediately dispersed in understanding...

Not long after, two abandoned bodies were discovered behind the bushes.

One is naked underneath, and the other is crawling on top.

Yin Fengpan looked at the corpse, rolled his eyes a few times, and then turned to look around. After a moment, without saying anything, he stood up, mounted his horse, and left with his men.

After Yin Feng left, Le Jin stood up from the bushes in the distance and frowned.

"General..." The personal guards under his command couldn't help but ask, "Is it...that we have been discovered, or that we have not been discovered?" 』

Le Jin was silent for a while and said: "...Probably, no?" If something is wrong, I should search the surrounding area..."

Le Jin's personal guard nodded in understanding, seeming to feel relieved.

"But we can't take it lightly," Le Jin looked around and said, "Tonight we will take out all the weapons and armor we have hidden... To be on the safe side, we still have to change places..."

……乂(Д三Д)乂……

The bright moon floats on the river and shines on the deck of the brand new ship.

The river was gurgling. Zhu Zhi, Yu Fan and others sat around the banquet. In front of them was a huge ice basin filled with fine wine and various fruits. They were all wearing single clothes, letting the breeze blow away the heat of the day, and it seemed that the anger in their hearts was also blown away. In fact, the heat in the body can be blown away, but the anger in the heart is difficult to eliminate.

In Jiangnan, the weather begins to get boring and hot in May, and this boredom and heat seem to have come from the sky into people's hearts.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on God. After all, although God sometimes gets a little nervous, there are still some rules in general. However, the special Lord of Jiangdong has no reason to say anything. They had been arguing for nearly an hour about Sun Quan's expedition to Jingzhou.

The main focus of the dispute is that Sun Quan went to war very hastily under such circumstances, and he was not prepared at all. Everything must be prepared beforehand, and failure to do so will result in failure. It is fundamentally wrong to force an expedition without sufficient preparation.

But the problem is that such a hasty advance actually achieved results! Zhou Tai, who had been replenished, actually captured Jiangling City in one fell swoop!

Who could have imagined this?

Zhu Zhi was tricked by Sun Quan before. Although he felt angry, he endured it despite his anger. After all, when there was a heavy rain in Jiangdong, as the leader of the Jiangdong gentry, Zhu Zhi did not do his best on the surface and was caught. The pigtails will naturally shed some blood, otherwise Sun Quan will take advantage of the people's resentment and aggravate the situation...

Among the Jiangdong gentry, families may not always love each other, have marriages, and have goodwill. Of course, there is also nastiness and resentment. Most of the time, there is both.

If Sun Quan openly stated that he would only deal with Zhu Zhi and not the others, would anyone be willing to follow Sun Quan and beat Zhu Zhi? Zhu Zhi didn't dare to gamble, and the situation didn't require Zhu Zhi to gamble on this.

In turn, Sun Quan did not dare to gamble. The main reason for dealing with the Zhu family is to let others see it. I am so paralyzed that I even dare to deal with the Zhu family. Why don't you scum be more honest?

As a result, the two of them were holding bottles of wine, yelling at each other across the table, and then took a step back under the dissuasion of their respective relatives and friends.

Sun Quan no longer made a fuss about the victims, got some money and food, and sent Lu Meng, the general of Hengye Zhonglang, as Zhou Tai's backup, and led the soldiers straight to Jiangling. Zhou Yu was stationed in the Jiangdong Navy, mainly guarding the Jingzhou Navy and Cao Jun's new city.

Zhu Zhi and others received another "expectation" and Sun Quan's tacit approval for the Jiangdong gentry to embezzle the victims...

If a person has no dreams, he is worse than a salted fish. But if a salted fish has too many dreams, he will be in trouble. Just like Sun Quan, he is now causing trouble to the Jiangdong nobles. Just be a salted fish, okay?

The Jiangdong gentry have always claimed to be heirs of Confucian classics. Of course, they dislike and do not approve of guys like the Sun family who come from martial arts backgrounds and have only a smattering of Confucianism. On the other hand, the Jiangdong surname headed by Zhu Zhi has basically monopolized all Jiangdong interests, from production to sales, from birth to death, from food, clothing to expenses. As a monopoly, naturally what they want is It's more monopoly and longer-term interests.

"General Yokono... humph, it's just Yokono!" ” Yu Fan still said with sharp teeth and sharp lips, “But my lord doesn’t listen to my advice! 』

"Brother Zhu should be the general this time. This is the right thing to do!" ” Yu Fan said.

Hengye Zhonglang General Lu Meng was born into a poor family and relied on his brother-in-law Deng Dang in his early years. At that time, Deng served as Sun Ce's general and conquered Shanyue several times. Lü Meng was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and he also fought with Deng Dang secretly. Deng Dang was shocked when he found out, and Lü Meng became known as "If you don't explore the tiger's den, you will catch the tiger's cubs"...

The people in Jiangdong sneered, saying that Lu Meng's tricks were just leftovers.

Zhu Zhi waved his hand and took out a melon from the ice basin. He bit into it until the juice overflowed without saying anything.

Gu Yong on the side said: "Although Jiangling has been conquered, Jingzhou is difficult to conquer quickly, not to mention that there are Fei and Cao in the north. They will definitely not sit idly by... In the battle of Jingzhou, it will be impossible to reach it if it is too fast, and it will be injured if it takes too long." Book……"

Zhu Zhi threw the finished fruit core into the water, "The most important thing for a person is to understand things and understand the importance..."

Strictly speaking, taking advantage of a weak point to attack Jingzhou is not a big problem. Anyway, it would be best if we can defeat it. If we cannot defeat it, we can just retreat to Jiangdong, just like the previous attack on Jiangxia. It's just that, with Zhu The Jiangdong gentry headed by Zhi Zhi had always claimed to be the backbone of the serious force. As a result, Sun Quan took the money and food of the Jiangdong gentry and gave it to Lü Meng, Zhou Tai and others to expand their troops and open up new territories...

It was more or less shameful for Zhu Zhi and others, and some Sun Quan to take the money of the main wife to support the mistress.

Any man with a sane mind knows that when a mistress first starts, she will say that she wants nothing, as long as she is called "Aiqing", but in fact, she is focused on the position of the main wife... …

Sun Quan has always been vigorously promoting children from poor families, and his intentions are naturally obvious.

Zhu Zhi pointed to the ice basin and said: "Don't look at the ice solidifying at this time, it is terrifying, but... when the time comes, the ice will turn into water, without any edges or corners..."

"Brother Zhu's intention..." Yu Fan's eyes moved slightly.

Zhu Zhi laughed and extended his hand to invite, "Come and eat melons. These pumpkin fruits are in season..."

……(′`)……

Chang'an, Hussar General's Mansion.

"Although Jingzhou is said to be vast, in fact..." Fei Qian drew on the map, "There are only three places, Nanyang, Nanjun, and Jiangxia, with convenient water conservancy and many fertile fields... Changsha County is not bad, as for Wuling Lingling and so on. Land, there is not much cultivated land..."

"Now Nanyang has fallen and is divided into three parts..." Fei Qian continued, "Jiangxia is also divided into three parts... Haha, now Nanjun is also about to be divided into three points... Haha, it's really..."

Perhaps among the Three Kingdoms, three is a number with mysterious power.

Wancheng in Nanyang County and the area north of Wancheng, up to and including Wuguan, were regarded as the private land of Jing and Xiang Fei. The south of Xinye naturally belonged to Liu Biao, and the area east of Wancheng was occupied by Cao Cao.

Jiangxia County was originally owned by Liu Biao, but now it is also divided into four, well, three. Although it is still Liu Biao's territory, in fact, in the previous battle, Sun Quan took away most of Jiangxia's savings and a small part of the population, while Cao Cao moved most of the remaining Jiangxia population, leaving Liu Biao was left with only the empty Jiangxia shell, which could be regarded as another form of three points.

Among the four counties in Jingnan, the Jiangdong Sun family occupies a small part of Changsha County and Guiyang County. The remaining counties such as Wuling and Lingling are nominally subordinate to Liu Biao, but in fact there are still many elements of autonomy. In addition, Wuling County has at least Half of them were actually in the hands of South Vietnamese barbarians...

"If Liu Biao wants to break Jiangdong's invasion... the method is here..." Pang Tong said, "Don't think about Lingling. Firstly, Liu Jingzhou is not in harmony with his heart, and he listens to the advice but not the propaganda. Secondly, from Lingling As far as Jiangdong, the mountains are high and the water is far away... so there are only two places..."

"Changsha, Wuling." Fei Qian tapped the map on the desk.

Pang Tong nodded and said, "That's true." If Wuling's soldiers from Changsha could be combined and marched eastward to Jiangdong, Jiangdong would be forced to retreat... Wuling's prefect, Jin Yuanji, was the queen of Naizhen County, and he had an old relationship with Liu Jingsheng... so he would probably send troops to help... only However, although the Changsha Han family is a big family in Changsha and can compete with the Sun family, they have been getting along with the Sun family for many years. This time... the key point falls here..."

Fei Qian nodded silently. Liu Biao actually didn't have many good intentions when he appointed Han Xuan as the governor of Changsha. After all, if a foreigner is appointed as the governor of Changsha, Liu Biao will have to allocate some starting materials and so on, but appointing Han Xuan will save a lot of trouble, and then he can also use Han Xuan to compete with Sun Quan. If Han Xuan can defeat Sun Quan, it will be great. Han Xuan must have suffered a lot, so he can easily send people to receive the fruits of victory...

On the other hand, if Sun Quan sent troops to Changsha, with Jinxuan in the east and Huangzu in the north, Sun Quan would have difficulty doing anything. Moreover, even if Changsha was destroyed, Liu Biao would not care. Anyway, it was not Liu Biao's land in the first place.

Fei Qian sighed, "Liu Jingsheng's plan is really good...but this time..." If Han Xuan is really willing to send troops with Jin Xuan, he can alleviate the crisis in Jiangling, but judging from the historical results, I'm afraid that this time, Liu Biao's calculations will come to nothing again.

While Fei Qian and Pang Tong were discussing, they suddenly heard footsteps, "Report!" Urgent report from Heluo scouts! 』
