Three Kingdoms

After receiving the new news from the frontier, Fei Qian was somewhat helpless. How worried was Senior Brother Cao that he would send troops to Jingzhou, but he even used the method of mingling among the refugees?

Did Cao Cao use such a method in history?

Fei Qian doesn't remember much, but now it feels a bit amazing. There will certainly not be many soldiers of Cao's army among the refugees, but it is easy to get through Hangu, but it is difficult to get through Tongguan.

Because the river bed near Hangu Pass has been partially exposed, or it cannot be called exposed, but is an accumulation of sediment? Anyway, there is now more than one road through Hangu Pass. If you send people to secretly take advantage of the night or the cover of thick fog, and hide past the small troops from the edge of the river, they will naturally not be attacked by the defenders of Hangu. Found.

Basically, it can be judged that the proportion of such small batches of soldiers sneaking over is more important to harass than to attack, so their purpose is basically to contain them...

"Hadong!" Pang Tong pointed at the map, "The key direction of Cao's army is not Tongguan, but Hedong!" 』

Fei Qian looked at the map and nodded.

If Jingzhou is the gateway to the Central Plains, then the Hedong area is the link between Feiqian and the north. Although there are other roads Feiqian can take, the line east of Hedong is undoubtedly the most stable and convenient. Therefore, once there is a problem in Hedong, it will inevitably affect Pingyang, and even Shangdang and Huguan.

As soon as Hedong moved, Cao Jun pretended to attack Huguan again. Compared with Jingzhou, for Fei Qian's basic position, Shangdang's position was naturally more important, so Fei Qian had to send troops to rescue. Then Jingzhou area was surrounded by mountains and rivers, so he could only It is to let Cao Cao do what he wants. These soldiers have the effect of making four liang move a thousand catties.

But to be honest, this method of mixing among refugees is not very good...

"It's a bit like Dong Gongren's method..." Pang Tong pinched his fat chin, "It's just about the results, as for the means... Hehe, hehe... In addition to being used in war, it can also be used to alienate Shanxi. If the lord vents his anger on the Yang family, It will inevitably cause shock in Shilin..."

Yang is the mascot that Fei Qian hangs on his door. Show off in front of Shandong nobles.

Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi, can you tell?

Pang Tong laughed twice and said: "At that time, the Yuan family took him as a soldier to join the army and challenged Gongsun at Jieqiao. However, Li, the prefect of Julu, thought that Gongsun was strong in the army, so they all wanted to belong to Gongsun." When Yuan heard about it, he sent Dong to lead the giant deer. When he was leaving, he asked, "The plan is temporary, so I can't say anything." When he arrived at the county, he forged a message to the county, and killed several people in a row under the false name of collaborating with the enemy. Suddenly the whole county was frightened, so he comforted them, and everything was fine. set. When the matter was over, Mr. Yuan was informed, and Mr. Yuan praised him for being good..."

"Haha..." Fei Qian laughed loudly, "The original name is "good"? Haha, I'm afraid that there is a secret plan in my heart, and it would be a good idea to get rid of it? "It would be fine if someone else did this, but it was Yuan Shao who faced him! How did Yuan Shao get those positions? Aren’t they all fake orders from the emperor? As a result, Dong Zhao made a forged order under Yuan Shao. Didn't Yuan Shao set the fire and Dong Zhao light the lamp? Of course, besides saying "good", what else could Yuan Shao say?

Pang Tong also laughed and said: "Later, the Yuan family was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and wanted to punish him...Dong Gongren learned about it and fled south to Xuye..."

"Yuan Benchu ​​is also a wonderful person..." Fei Qian shook his head and smiled. Didn't Dong Zhao pretend that someone collaborated with the enemy, and then Yuan Shao repaid him, which felt like retribution?

"So..." Pang Tong smoothed out the wrinkles on his chin, "Just treat him the way he was treated?" "Fei Qian buried a lot of secrets in the Shandong area. Pang Tong also knew some of this, but he didn't know who exactly or how many.

"Hmm..." Fei Qian thought for a moment and shook his head, "No need..." Anzi naturally has to be used at critical moments. Isn't it already the most critical link? Obviously not yet, so there is no need to expose these secrets. What's more, Cao Cao's intention was not really to fight, but to guard against Fei Qian in case he really sent troops to Jingzhou, and to cause some destruction to harass and delay.

Of course, if anything happens, if Fei Qian loses his mind and is at a loss to deal with it, Cao Cao certainly wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to expand his victory or something. After all, everyone has to have dreams and so on...

"Let Ziyi be more vigilant and guard Tongguan strictly!" Order Shuye to move his army to Anyi and keep an eye on Shaanxi, Tianjin and Xiaopingjin! Fei Qian slid his finger on the map, "Liang Dao is stationed at Huguan!" As long as these places are not in chaos, even if Heluo is in chaos, it will not change the world! 』

Pang Tong nodded and took note, and then said: "Then these Cao soldiers are careful..."

Fei Qian smiled and said, "How about leaving it to Dezu?" 』

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed.

Fei Qian also laughed, and suddenly the meeting hall burst into laughter.

Xu Chu, who was on duty outside the meeting hall, wasn't sure what was laughing inside, but he couldn't help being infected. He pushed his hand on his pocket and smiled.

The surrounding guards couldn't help but smile as well.

The Lord must have said something pleasant to Pang Lingjun...

Just like children often observe their parents' faces, if their parents are smiling and getting along in harmony every day, the children will naturally be happy. If their parents are fighting and quarreling every day and their faces are gloomy, the children will naturally be under a lot of pressure.

For these guards, they may not understand why Fei Qian and Pang Tong are laughing, but it does not prevent them from feeling peace and joy in their hearts.

Xu Chu looked up at the sky. The sky was very blue. This feeling is very comfortable.

At least it's much more comfortable than when I was in Yuzhou.

There were some sounds of armor in the distance. Xu Chu turned his head slightly and saw that it was the capital of Wei. Well, it's time to change shifts.

"Pang Lingjun is inside..." Xu Chu tilted his head slightly, "Anything else, nothing happened..."

"become! Wei Du said he understood, then patted Xu Chu's shoulder and whispered, "Let's go to dinner together when I get off duty!" I found a new haggis soup restaurant in the city. It tastes great! 』

Xu Chu nodded, "Okay, you invited me last time, this time it's mine..." Xu Chu also heard about Wei Du's life being saved by a leg of lamb, but others might think it was the sheep that saved his life. , so I stopped eating sheep. When I arrived in Weidu, I felt that my life was saved by eating sheep, so I had to eat sheep even more...

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Wei Du frowned, "Did I invite you last time?" How do I remember that it was you who ordered Chengxi Baozi? 』

"That was last time..." Xu Chu patted Wei Du's belly, "I remember this, so just feel free to eat it!" 』

Wei Du laughed softly twice, then nodded and began to take over with Xu Chu.

Huang Xu, Wei Du, and Xu Chu are responsible for the security of the entire Hussar General's Mansion. They are on duty in three shifts. Of course, so are the guards. However, these guards do not follow a certain person on a fixed basis, but at the beginning of each month. will be rotated.

That's good. In other words, here in Qiusi, there are many things and many rules, which are much better than what Xu Chu heard before. There are no dirty things to do for the general, and there is no need to pull up a curtain and wait for the general to tie his belt, etc. Here in Hussar, it is simple, clean and comfortable.

The sky is blue and the wind is clear.

……(*^__^*)……

Happiness in this world is limited. When some people are happy, others will naturally be unhappy.

Yang Xiu was very unhappy.

Having just obtained the Luoyang Order, for Yang, who had been in an extremely depressing environment for a long time, it was undoubtedly like winning a big prize. Then, after the lottery was drawn, the numbers were all correct, but This lottery ticket doesn't belong to Yang Xiu, it belongs to the lottery station owner's cousin, what? Wrong message, just the wrong picture...

There is indeed land in Heluo Hongnong, and the quality of these fields is not bad, but the problem is that there are no people.

When the Yang family began to prepare to show off their talents in Luoyang, they suddenly discovered that their biggest problem was people, those ordinary people who they had not cared about before and did not care about at all.

Without these people, even if there is farming, there will be no way to operate it. Then, if there is no one to farm, there will be no harvest of grain and grass. The less and less people will stay here, the less and less people will come...

Well, strictly speaking, it is not entirely because there are no people. The main reason is that there are no young and strong people. There are still old and weak people, and there are also many sick and disabled people. Most of the young and strong labor force was intercepted halfway before the refugees arrived in Heluo.

It is difficult for the old and the weak to even take care of themselves, so how can they possibly restore a large number of abandoned fields for Yang's farming? It is almost a waste of money to invest in restoring the health of these old, weak, sick and disabled people, so when dealing with these people, Yang mostly maintains an attitude of letting them fend for themselves.

At the same time, Luoyang City is like a gold-swallowing beast. No matter how much food, material or money it eats, it is like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. The city needs cleaning, repairs, money, manpower, and materials. Outside the city, it needs construction and development. It also needs money, manpower, and various materials. These things have made Yang Xiu, who originally thought highly of himself, also I had to lower my head...

Damn it, how did Fei Qian do it in Pingyang?

Why can’t Luoyang do it now?

Is there anything wrong?

Yang Xiu had a headache, but he couldn't figure out what he had failed to do well. Obviously he was doing what Fei Qian had done before, walking... Why did Fei Qian have people at that time, but now that the capital of a majestic man is here, he can't attract people to come? What went wrong?

If there are young people willing to come, Yang is also willing to rent cattle and farm tools, and the rent collection rate is even more favorable than in Guanzhong Northland. If there are merchants willing to open a market, Yang is also willing to reduce or reduce various taxes. We can even provide free places outside Luoyang City...

But every time he saw the empty Luoyang City and the desolate surroundings of Heluo, Yang Xiu felt a cold air hovering from the soles of his feet that wouldn't go away for a long time.

In fact, if future generations understand this phenomenon a little bit about economics, or even wander around, they will find that some areas have good business, but just one street away, they are so deserted that they can raise sparrows.

As prosperous as Luoyang was in the Han Dynasty in the past, Chang'an would have declined. But now that Chang'an is prosperous, Luoyang would naturally be in bad luck...

Nowadays, Chang'an under Fei Qian's rule is like a whirlpool, constantly attracting everything around it. It is like a metropolis in later generations. Even if there are people who are suffering from serious diseases in it, it cannot stop many people. One after another they filled it in. The Yang Xiu Yang family themselves were torn apart by the whirlpool, let alone other people. How could they be willing to stay in Luoyang to develop and thrive?

In the end, Yang Xiu could only be reduced to a transit point, earning some passing traffic.

By the way, I did some business of reselling military supplies.

After all, only by doing this can we barely make up for Yang's shortfall in Luoyang City...

Yang Xiu is not stupid. He naturally knows that there will be problems sooner or later, but if he doesn't do it now, he will have been abandoned by the Yang family before the problem finds him. If Yang Xiu wants to secure the Luoyang Order, it will be impossible without the support of the Yang family. But if Yang Xiu can only try his best to go out and not take it in, then why should people in the Yang family support it? Yang Xiu?

Just like those who tell stories in the stock market in later generations, do they not know that there is something wrong with them? I know, but I still have to say it, and I still have to work hard to say it well.

Who wouldn't like it if you could make money by writing eight classics?

If the people who come to Luoyang are not old, weak, sick and disabled, who would like to do such high-risk things? Isn’t farming good? Isn’t Zhuanghe fragrant?

So, when Yang Xiu heard that a group of young and strong refugees appeared on his land, his expression and mood were as if he had won a 500-ton lottery.

Being young and strong means the labor force, which means that one person can support ten old, weak, sick and disabled people, which means increased wealth and a bright future. Otherwise, why would all countries in later generations attach great importance to the population curve? So when Yang Xiu received the news, he immediately took action and sent his soldiers to start collecting these legendary "young and strong" from the surrounding area...

……（▽）/（▽）/（▽）/……

Chaos broke out in the darkness.

Fire, roaring, figures, rushing.

In fact, no matter how Le Jin changes his position, it won't have much effect, because around Luoyang, there are only about a dozen deserted villages where refugees live. In addition, people like Le Jin are young and strong. If you don't pay attention to it, It doesn't matter, if you really look for it seriously, it's as obvious as a dung beetle, er, firefly in a coal pile.

Yang Xiu's soldiers came to arrest them, and it was naturally impossible for Le Jin and others to capture them without restraint.

When the first ray of sword light shines, blood inevitably flows...

Le Jin originally brought two combat knives, but now he only had one left. His left hand was bleeding and he was trembling slightly as he ran away.

Le Jin himself didn't know how long he had been running away. The sky was still dark. If he had a better view, he could still see the flames in the distance and hear the faint noise. It was only at this time that he could Think back to the previous battle for a moment.

As a general with two skills, Le Jin still has no big problem in dealing with ordinary soldiers, but the basis for this problem is that Le Jin has complete weapons and equipment.

Even as brave as Lu Bu, without the weapons and equipment at his disposal, he could only be captured alive. Perhaps it was partly due to his drunkenness and injuries at the time, but the equipment was indeed very important, especially armor. Whether or not there is armor is almost the difference between heaven and earth for a general.

If he had armor, Le Jin would not be injured at all, and could even fight back. But now, whether it is a stick or a gun, in the dark night, under the chaos of fire and light, it is impossible to say that he is completely immune, especially torches...

You can also use the sword in your hand to block the swords, guns and clubs, but without the protection of armor, the burning flames quickly ignited the thin clothes and scattered hair, causing medium-sized burns. Although the burns on his back and back were not very serious, after the blisters burst due to friction, they caused a continuous sting on the skin, which was even more irritating to the nerves than the knife wound on his left hand.

This sudden battle was actually doomed from the beginning for Le Jin's side to suffer a loss. The other side came in formation and had armor and equipment on them. Le Jin's side was not only scattered, but also had no time to put on armor. Most of them He just took the weapon and resisted hastily.

The two sides engaged in the most intense fighting in an instant. Although Yang Xiu's soldiers may not be as brave as Le Jin's men, the equipment and formation made up for the gap.

Le Jin just observed the situation for a moment and knew something was wrong, so he called for him to break out and escape. However, when Yang Xiu's soldiers surrounded him, Le Jin and others still fell into a bitter battle. Some of Le Jin's men immediately disappeared. He was able to react, soaked the hemp rope and woven it into a net, and threw it over the head and face. If he was not careful, he would be caught in the net, and then tied up like a pig or sheep. This is simply a shame for a military commander...

Before this, Le Jin never thought that such a thing might happen. The situation changed so fiercely and so quickly that Le Jin could not adapt at all.

In the original plan, when Le Jin received new instructions, he would pretend to be a refugee and approach the pass, equip himself with sophisticated armor under his ragged robes, and then catch the opponent off guard, but he did not expect to be beaten now. The one who was caught off guard was himself.

Damn it, if I had known when the hussar scouts came, I should have been more cautious, or even retreated directly! If we could realize this earlier, maybe everything would be much better.

However, the thing that is most missing in the world is "early knowledge".

In the distant firelight, everyone seemed to be divided. Le Jin could see some figures being knocked down, and some fighting in the firelight, and then fell, roaring like trapped animals, in the dark night Came faintly...

There were only a few dozen subordinates left beside Le Jin, and many of them, like Le Jin, were somewhat injured.

Le Jin sighed, the hopes and lofty goals he had originally longed for were completely lost in this dark night...
