Three Kingdoms

Kong Ming did not use the manpower we left in Hanzhong... Fei Qian looked at the information on hand, and then his expression changed slightly. This Zhang Yuanxiu... is already... looks much worse than Pei Juguang...

Fei Qian sighed and shook his head.

For now, Fei Qian naturally doesn't want Hanzhong to rebel, but sometimes some things are not just what you want subjectively. Zhang Ze has slowly changed in the past few years. This change Even faster than Fei Qian imagined, it was like a benign tumor transforming into malignant.

Of course Fei Qian would not just let Zhuge Liang deal with Zhang Ze alone, but had already made some arrangements, but Zhuge Liang obviously had his own ideas and did not use them.

Kong Ming is... Pang Tong sighed, he wants to do it with all his strength...

Zhuge Liang also has his own pride. Of course, another reason is that Pang Tong is not easy to explain.

After all, the proper procedures must be in place, otherwise in the Han Dynasty when information was not very smooth, Zhang Ze was still an important leader in the hearts of most people in Hanzhong, and he was able to mobilize his troops and seize power from a tiger's mouth. Although the actions such as Fu Fu can be praised as the decision of the person involved to kill, from another aspect, isn't it also a bit too random?

Fei Qian seemed to have guessed something and nodded. It was really embarrassing for Kong Ming... I will think about it again, whether it is necessary...

Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said: My lord, you might as well pretend to be unknown and see...

Directly sending troops is not impossible, but it will cause greater riots. Now that Zhuge Liang has left Hanzhong, Fei Qian immediately mobilized his troops to approach. There are undoubtedly two results. One is that Zhang is afraid and is captured without mercy, and the other is that the dog is anxious and jumps over the wall...

The latter one is obviously more likely.

Fei Qian was silent for a while, then finally nodded and accepted Pang Tong's opinion. If he were an ordinary person, Fei Qian wouldn't be so nervous, but it only concerns Zhuge Liang. If Brother Zhu becomes Luolongshan because of this, why not be spitted to death?

But on the other hand, these issues may not be what Brother Zhu has considered?

After all, Zhang Zeming didn't show any signs of rebellion on his face. Even if he sent manpower to intercept, it could be said to be to capture bandits and thieves. These reasons are not completely untenable. If Fei Qian had launched a large-scale military attack without Zhang Ze showing any obvious rebellious behavior, it would have frightened the other prefects and magistrates. On the other hand, it would also have reflected that Fei Qian's administration was only focused on military affairs. It should have been Problems at the political level can only be solved militarily.

Just like in later generations, only one organization department was needed for personnel appointment and dismissal, but a large military region force was used. The impact of the two is naturally very different.

Whatever.

Fei Qian temporarily shifted his attention away from Zhuge Liang, and then focused on another direction, Longxi.

A report was reported from Linjing on the right side of Longyou. In the county town, a warehouse caught fire... Fei Qian spread out the report and said, "Shiyuan, what do you think?"

If things are abnormal, they must be different. Pang Tong grunted twice. There was plenty of rain in spring, and the warehouse was an important fire prevention area. How could it easily catch fire? Let's follow the old method, one in the dark and one in the dark, and conduct a thorough investigation.

Fei Qian nodded, I mean, Shiyuan, do you think how many more warehouses in counties and villages will catch fire next?

ah? Pang Tong was startled.

This is an old trick...well, an old trick? Fei Qian said slowly, this verification has not yet begun... Linjing has made a good start...

Death without proof can not only be applied to people.

China follows the agricultural route, so for the countries in this land, as long as they are not out of their mind, they will definitely focus on stockpiling grain and grass, because this is the magic needle to ensure the safety and stability of the entire China.

Food is the most important thing for the people. If there is a problem with the food, then everything will have a problem.

Just like Fei Qian, a big business owner who made lotus spoons, even if some nobles felt that there might be some grievances involved, no one dared to say anything, because it involved the stability of the country, which was almost as big as the sky.

This is a red line that should never be touched.

No one in the world can tolerate corruption in grain depots.

However, since ancient times, grain depots have been a hot spot for corruption. There is even a common saying among the people that if the grain depots are not rich, it depends on whether you can make money or not.

In ancient China, no matter what dynasty or generation it was, if it was said to be corruption and reserve grain, it would definitely be a serious crime of beheading. But why do some people dare to step on the red line, or even dare to play some tricks like this or that?

Because it is too easy to do tricks in the grain depot, and it is difficult to be discovered.

No matter how well the grain is stored, its condition will inevitably deteriorate year by year. Normally, old grain must be sold every few years, and there is a price difference between the new and old grain. Combined with the grain The base of the treasury can be tens of thousands of stones, or even hundreds of thousands of stones. If it fluctuates a little bit, it can be a large amount of income.

More importantly, grain and grass reserves have always been kept secret. Except for Fei Qian and a few individuals, few people know the specific amount of grain and grass. At the local level, it is often only the county chiefs and Cang Cao who know the quantity. It’s not easy to hide something or do some tricks...

The design of the granary is to quell disasters and stabilize the world, so it is not unimportant... Fei Qian smiled, and then said, now is the time... just send Zhang Wenyuan there...

Pang Tong's eyes widened, what the lord meant was...

Fei Qian nodded and said: Yes, the area around Linjing County will be put under military control immediately. Among the three assistants of Chang'an, officials who are proficient in accounting and auditing will be deployed to conduct a thorough investigation within one month!

If Zhuge Liang's personal safety is not a major military matter, then the changes in Linjing's granary are enough to make Fei Qian angry. The country's Sheji, Sheji is the land, and the Ji is the grain. If Fei Qian treats it lightly today, more and more evil tricks will appear tomorrow!

Pang Tong suddenly seemed to have thought of something and clapped his hands. What a wonderful move! Very good! It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone!

Fei Qian: o_o?

……m9(`Д′)……

Hedong.

Wenxi.

Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed his name after hearing the good news, there is not much happy atmosphere now.

Unlike Zhuge Liang's experience, Zhang Shi was very troubled in Hedong.

Of course, to some extent, Zhang Shi and Zhuge Liang had completely different attitudes. When Zhang Shi arrived in Hedong, he was very arrogant, like a big blowfly buzzing around the dining table when he was preparing to eat, or like a wild dog that smelled shit and started to eat in the middle of the meal. He ran to the side and barked...

But Zhang Shi's arrogant attitude makes people feel a little scared. They are afraid of being slapped, leaving yellow and white juice on their hands, not to mention spilling and contaminating their own food, or being bitten on the buttocks by a wild dog. …

It's so disgusting, let someone else do it.

So this person went up one level and was sent to Pei Mao.

Pei Mao did not move.

It was like not hearing the sound of flies or wild dogs.

Pei Mao didn't move, and naturally no one else up and down the river moved either.

But……

Just because it didn't move doesn't mean it's over.

Several people hurried over on horseback, and then dismounted before they could stand completely. They didn't even say hello to the people around them. They shouted in a low voice and hurried to the hospital after receiving the news. Got it! Hussar arrives in March!

The hussar wants to patrol the east of the river!

General Hussar is coming to Hedong in March!

The Cavalry General is coming!

Like the thunder of spring, it caused a tremor in the sky above Hedong.

Zhang Shi was running up and down Hedong like a mad dog, making people want to kick him into the gutter and then beat him to death with sticks. But for some reason, Pei Mao never said anything, which made everyone here in Hedong also be confused. I can only endure it...

However, now, not only Zhang Shi is coming, but even the Cavalry General Fei Qian is coming. I heard that the preliminary preparations for Guanzhong are already being done, and it is said that the time will be set in early March. This makes Hedong, who was already a little worried, The counties and counties became even more panicked, and many people rushed to the place where they heard the news, asking for Pei Mao's advice.

Since the defeat of the Wei family in Hedong, the Pei family can be said to be the only one in the family. Basically, there are Pei family members or people related to the Pei family in all counties and counties in Hedong.

Growing a family is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing. This principle is the same as Lin Zida.

Pei Mao was sitting in a small pavilion on the back hill of his yard, looking at the woods on the back hill.

In the past few days, especially after Zhang Shi arrived in Hedong, Pei Mao never left Wenxi's village. Even when Zhang Shi arrived here, Pei Mao pretended not to understand anything, treated Zhang Shi well without caring at all, and then respectfully sent Zhang Shi away, leaving Zhang Shi to hold back. I hit the cotton with all my strength.

On the battlefield, the heads of ordinary peasants and soldiers were not counted as heads. No matter how much they were chopped off, it was useless. Only the heads of soldiers were counted as heads.

Therefore, in this new battle in Hedong, it doesn't really matter how many petty officials Zhang Shi beheaded. Only Pei's or Pei Mao's head can be regarded as the first level of merit and a great victory on the battlefield.

Pei Mao felt a little cold on the back of his neck. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch it, and then moved the stiff bones slightly.

The head of the family...the servants outside the pavilion reported respectfully that the third concubine was here...

The Pei family is very big and has been multiplying in Hedong for hundreds of years, so it has several houses, which is extremely complicated. Pei Mao is just one of them, and a relatively large one.

Pei Mao was silent for a moment and said lightly, "Please."

Not long after, the middle-aged man who had hurriedly rushed to the pavilion came outside the pavilion, bowed his hands in salute, and paid homage to the second brother... He was covered in dust and did not go in to hinder the second brother's purification... However, there was already confirmed evidence in this pass. According to news, the Hussars will arrive in Hedong in March...

What is supposed to come will eventually come... Pei Mao sighed, I know... If this is the only thing, I might as well go and take a rest first...

The people outside the pavilion had faces covered with dust and sweat on their heads. They stood still. Second brother, this... the Cavalry is coming. How should we deal with it now? The second brother needs to give me a charter...

Charter? Pei Mao pinched his beard, looked up at the sky, and asked vaguely.

The people outside the pavilion handed over their hands again, it was...

Sigh... Pei Mao looked at the sky and sighed, why did Fang come to ask me what should be done at this time? Where did you go when you were so bold?

This... now is not the time to talk about this... After all, many of the children in the clan rely on Duke Pei for guidance... The people outside the pavilion bent their waists and lowered their heads. As the elder of the clan and the leader of the sect, Duke Pei cannot ...You can't just ignore death, right?

...Pei Mao pinched his beard, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed. No one knew what he was sighing for.

……(〒︿〒)……

First, the ground shook slightly, and then the air seemed to shake at the same time.

The green grass that had just emerged in spring was once again trampled into the soil, bringing out clods of different sizes. Then the tremor became louder and louder amidst the splashing of soil, and gradually turned into a continuous The roar came from the opposite side of the small grassy slope!

One ride, ten rides, a hundred rides...

Thousands of cavalry appeared at the end of the line of sight. The cavalry on horseback held their swords high and raised a banner with the word "Cao" high. They were Cao Chun's cavalry troops.

Gongsun Kang looked at the cavalry of Cao's army rushing towards him. He couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then raised his arms high and shouted: Don't panic! Hold on! Hold on! It’s tight! Archer! Prepare--

wind!

Strong wind!

Arrows flew into the air!

A short whistle sounded among Cao Jun's cavalry, and then the cavalry formation became slightly looser, just like the smooth pancakes that were originally smooth pancakes have now turned into fermented bread. The dense arrows pierced them, and naturally most of them were They were all missed, of course some of them hit the shields and armors, and a small part also saw blood.

As the arrows continued to fall, Gongsun Kang's eyes widened.

Cao Jun's cavalry began to turn!

Damn it, how could it be turned around? !

How did he know I had dug a trap in front of the formation? !

The roaring torrent drew an arc and moved toward the flanks of Gongsun and others' formation.

Archers, keep shooting! do not stop! Give me the order! The right army turned north! Damn it! No mess! As long as there is no chaos, they will have nothing to do with us - Gongsun Kang shouted heartbreakingly.

Indeed, everyone knows that as long as you don't panic, the infantry formation can fight against the cavalry, but the problem is that Gongsun Kang in the center of the formation does not have to directly face the collision of the cavalry, so Gongsun Kang can shout loudly to make people not to panic, but Anyone else...

In Gongsun's formation, the infantry on the right turned staggeringly in one direction, facing Cao Jun's cavalry again.

Hold on! Set up a gun! Set up a gun! Gongsun Kang ordered again.

In terms of orders, Gongsun Kang's instructions were not wrong, but the world does not mean that there are no mistakes, and perfect results will definitely be obtained. The shield wall and the gun forest did not show up smoothly as they did in training. Facing the surging armored cavalry and facing the barbarian cavalry with ordinary leather armor are completely different things.

Sometimes the hands and feet are faster than the thoughts, but most of the time the thoughts are faster than the hands and feet. It's like watching the flying dance in the water and feeling that the posture is so beautiful and beautiful. Then I close my eyes and stretch my arms, legs and feet in ecstasy, imagining that I am also like in the water. That flying-like posture is graceful, but no one knows that to others it actually looks like a puppy peeing.

On the front line facing Cao Jun's cavalry, many Gongsun infantry subconsciously closed their eyes tightly, thinking that they had already raised their spears and carried them out. In fact, they just stretched them out in a twisted manner. Little by little...

In later generations, a civilian could not be called a qualified soldier without three months to half a year of training, otherwise there would be no so-called recruit company. Then in the Han Dynasty, in Liaodong, a group of recruited soldiers Infantry, can we expect these people to behave like elites on the battlefield?

The next moment, Cao Jun's cavalry crashed into the Gongsun infantry array!

The Gongsun array collapsed!

……(╬￣俣)=○……

Yuyang.

When Jushou walked out of the city tower, he was choked by the smoke in front of him and coughed a few times. Then he held on to the wall and touched blood on his hand.

Jushou looked at the blood in his hands, and then at the soldiers of Cao's army around him. He resisted the urge to wipe it off, glanced sideways at the guards behind him, forced a smile on his lips, and sighed slightly.

On the city wall, inside and outside, are the traces of countless battles. If you observe carefully, you can see the blood with abundant blood, the intestines of the nine-turn large intestine, the lung leaves of the couple's lung slices, and the elbows that look like grilled hoofs...

Gongsun's army's attack had been going on for several days. The repeated attacks and the pressure brought by the continuous fighting, coupled with the continuous decrease in the number of Cao's soldiers in the city, made Jushou have to bear tremendous mental pressure.

The city wall was breached several times and taken back by force several times. Several times Jushou thought that Yuyang was about to be captured, and he struggled in despair several times. But in the end, the city wall was still intact. here.

It's there, it's still there, but it's in tatters, just like Jushou's heart.

When he fought with Yuan Shao, even when he faced the attack of Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong and the army almost collapsed, Ju Shou did not feel as tired as he does today.

Because at that time, Jushu knew that even if he died in front of the battle, someone would remember him and avenge him! Because at that time, Jushou also believed that everything he did was for the sake of the entire Han Dynasty, for the sake of the country, and for people like him to change the world according to their ideals...

However, just like no matter how brilliant the colors are, they will eventually fade, and no matter how delicious the dishes are, they will eventually rot. This time, Jushou felt unusually tired. This fatigue seeped out from his bones, just like loneliness. feel.

Yes, loneliness.

Although he took the lead time and again and led the soldiers to repel Gongsun's attacks time and time again, Jushu knew that he was still lonely and not trusted, just like the gentry sons in Jizhou were not trusted by Cao Cao... …

Jushou even began to wonder if Cao Cao had already known everything that might happen, and then planned to use Yuyang to consume the power of the powerful gentry in Jizhou?

Jushou smiled bitterly.

When he played politics and played tricks on others before, he didn't feel that his hands were dirty, but now when he felt that he might be played by others, he felt that they were really dirty...

Just like the blood on his hands now, it was sticky, reddish-brown, a little black and smelly.

I want to get rid of it, but I can't.

So dirty...
