Three Kingdoms

There is nothing wrong with the Han Dynasty being a feudal dynasty, but the centralization of power in the Han Dynasty was not yet complete, and local officials had great power. In addition, there were not many subordinate officials in the court who directly accepted their orders. Most of the subordinate officials were recruited for their own conquests, so they retained quite a strong The legacy of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

For example, the governors of Hedong counties like Wang Yi are actually like the princes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and their subordinate officials are like the accomplices of the princes. The relationship between them is not so much that of superior and subordinate officials, but that of lords and vassals. .

Of course, Fei Qian himself now has a county guard, so it is not surprising that some of his subordinates have begun to call Fei Qian their lord.

As the governor of Hedong County, Wang Yi generally had the power of life and death over the officials in Hedong, and he managed the powerful locals in Hedong on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

But this is the norm.

Nowadays, the annexation of land in various places has become very serious. Compared with the period of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the free farmers may be considered very good if they save three or four out of ten.

Therefore, the land and farmers were in the hands of local powerful people, and the county governors in the Han Dynasty adhered to the principle of avoidance. Locals were not allowed to serve as local governors. So how could a newly arrived county governor like Wang Yi establish a foothold in the east of the river?

The smarter ones were like Liu Biao, who joined forces or even married with the local nobles and quickly established a foothold. But that was in Jingxiang, and there were many nobles for Liu Biao to choose from. And this is Hedong. Due to various historical reasons, the Wei family is the only gentry in Hedong. The others are rural tyrants and have no power to compete with the Wei family...

Therefore, if Wang Yi did not want to become the subordinate county guard of the Hedong Wei clan, he could only press and pull. While fighting, he could not be too tough. When compromising, he could not obey the Hedong Wei clan's arrangements in everything.

It should have been good at first, but since Fei Qian became the governor of Shang County and set up camp in Anyi, something seemed to have started to change.

First, the Zhang family jumped out inexplicably, and then a military commander appeared who acted without permission. This made Wang Yi realize that the control he originally thought was good over Hedong seemed to be starting to become a little troublesome. In order to protect his own interests and authority, and to give a warning to other rural tycoons who were watching, Wang Yi agreed with Lu Chang and Jia Qu to deal with the Zhang family.

Of course, it was Lu Chang who took action.

So Lu Chang died like this.

He died on the way to Xiangling.

Yellow Turban ambush?

snort!

Although Anyi is the seat of Hedong County, logically speaking, it should be an area where the governor is relatively strong. However, after the position of Governor of Hedong County was given to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo never took office in Hedong, so it is tantamount to It remained vacant for several years. During this period of time, Hedong County was almost under the governance of the Hedong Wei family, which of course included Anyi, the county seat of Hedong County.

And under the current circumstances, how dare Wang Yi continue to stay in such a place where the enemy and ourselves are unclear?

Wang Yi was very urgent. He originally had contact with Fei Qian and asked Fei Qian for support. However, Lu Chang had not yet died and the situation had not yet deteriorated. Therefore, the idea was that Lu Chang would be the main force and Fei Qian would be the main force. Assist and destroy the Yellow Turbans together.

But now he suddenly discovered that he not only had to deal with foreign bandits, but also internal thieves. And since he dared to attack the governor of a county, would he still be soft on him, the governor? Therefore, after learning that Jia Qu was going to evacuate from Anyi, he disguised himself as a convoy, left Anyi, and came to see Fei Qian.

Before meeting Fei Qian, Wang Yi even thought about it. Although he didn't meet Fei Qian many times, Fei Qian was Cai Yong's disciple after all, and Cai Yong was of course a humble gentleman. Although those whom Cai Yong accepted as his disciples were definitely not as good as Cai Yong and Cai in terms of literary attainments, they were at least similar in temperament...

So when Wang Yi came up, he took the lead and showed his compassion for others. He originally thought that even if Fei Qian didn't agree with it in his heart, he would still put on a show and sigh along with him. In this way, he could Climbing up the pole, he warmly and sincerely invited Fei Qian to save the people of Hedong from water and fire, and fight for the people's livelihood and contentment. Then Fei Qian had the nerve to slap himself in the face, wouldn't you agree?

Wang Yi went a step further and even thought about how to answer Fei Qian's excuse. Isn't it Shangjun? First, get Hedong, and then help Fei Qian to regain Shangjun. In this way, Fei Qian naturally has nothing to say...

But I didn't expect that this Fei Qian didn't come as expected at all. He coaxed him out without saying a few words. Is there anyone like you?

Wang Yi regained his sad expression, sighed softly, and said, "Fei Shijun, don't you know how old the age is?"

Although Fei Qian didn't know what Wang Yi meant by this question, he still said truthfully: "I have wasted twenty-one years of my life."

Wang Yi admired and said: "Zi Yuan became the governor of the county at a young age. He has not been able to get the right position for hundreds of years!"

Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "I am just here to serve you, and I dare not take this honor." The Han Dynasty was very cautious in choosing county governors. Basically, they were all over forty years old, mature, and well versed in the art of balance. , will he be sent to a place to serve as a county guard.

But Fei Qian is special. Firstly, he has no one, secondly, he has no land, and thirdly, he has no soldiers. He has just a bare name, which is inferior to an actual county magistrate. Moreover, he is acting as a county magistrate, so he is appointed as the county magistrate. At that time, no one thought there was anything wrong...

With such a buffer, Wang Yi has obviously put aside the embarrassment just now. He raised his hands and said: "I beg Fei Shijun to lend a helping hand!"

"It's natural! Hedong Shangjun is close to each other, and the king's affairs are naturally the same thing!" Fei said with great concentration, "Wang Yi, you should have straightened your posture like this earlier. Just now, it looked like I had to kick your nose." I beg you to give me a chance to help you...

Fei Qian took a hand-drawn schematic diagram from the table and placed it in the middle so that Wang Yi could see it clearly. Then he pointed and said: "The Yellow Turban thieves will eat along both sides of the Fen River when they go south. OK……"

Fei Qian nodded on the ground of Xiangling and said, "I just don't know how Xiangling is doing at this time. If it can't be defended, it may be difficult to defeat Jingke." After saying that, Fei Qian stopped and quietly observed Wang Yi's reaction. .

This question is very important.

Fei Qian didn't ask whether Xiangling had been conquered by the Yellow Turbans, but asked Wang Yi who had the final say in Xiangling now and whether Wang Yi had the ability to control Xiangling's troops and horses...

After all, although Wang Yi still seems to be unable to defeat local snakes, he has been in Hedong for a while after all. Even if he cannot control wealthy counties such as Anyi, Linfen, and Pishi, is it possible that he cannot control relatively marginal counties like Xiangling? several?

If Wang Yi still has a certain degree of control over Xiangling, and even has some manpower to control it in Puzi and other counties, then he can still fight. Taking advantage of the Baibo Army's move south, whether the Baibo Army is divided or not, there will be Once the flaw is exposed, you can take this opportunity to defeat it in the Fenshui area. Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome when the Baibo Army continues to move south and brings more people with it.

Of course, if Wang Yi couldn't even control Xiangling and was just a bare commander, Fei Qian would not say anything, and after having a laugh, he immediately led his troops back to Beiqu, treating it as a wasted trip. After all, he It is difficult to support a single tree, and there are not many troops on hand. It is not worth investing in a completely uncontrollable situation.

Now Fei Qian and Wang Yi can be said to be allies who have not signed a covenant, so Fei Qian also wants to see what other trump cards Wang Yi has. This is very important for Fei Qian's next direction and action.

Therefore, Governor Wang Yi, please tell me your trump card and see if it is worth the bet we make together...

For a while, the author was obsessed with Texas Hold'em poker...

That's really a river card that changes everything, and two hole cards that determine life and death...

If you have cards, pretend you don't have cards, if you don't have cards, pretend you have cards...

Then always calculate the probability of the next card and the pot ratio of the pot...

Later, I really couldn’t play anymore...

It's too much trouble...
