Three Kingdoms

In Shangdang Huguan, Jia Qu took the letter from Fei Qian and finally let out a long breath, his expression also relaxed a lot.

Although Jia Qu made the choice at which moment, it does not mean that he can sit back and relax. After all, he killed not just an ordinary person, but the current two thousand stone executives, local princes, and even the representative. Not only did he confront the gentry in Taiyuan, but he also slapped the Hongnong Yang family in the face. Therefore, although Jia Qu has been handling political affairs as usual for a period of time, the pressure in his heart is indeed beyond words.

As a result, Jia Qu has obviously lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks on both sides have been pulled inward. After all, he is still a man who is under 10 years old, and his ability to withstand stress is not something that can only be achieved.

Taiyuan and Shangdang, the northern and southern ends of the entire Shanxi Plateau, are also on the dividing line between farming and grazing. Therefore, there are abundant water resources and fertile land. They have been an area of ​​fierce competition since ancient times.

During the Warring States Period, the famous Battle of Changping took place in this area, so it would not be wrong to say that the land here was watered with blood.

Although Jia Qu holds the position of fake prefect, for a person who is under the age of 10, such a position is unimaginable by ordinary people. Therefore, Jia Qu also uses 10% of his efforts to repay, and he often handles political affairs. late into the night. Huang Cheng persuaded Jia Qu several times, but without much effect, so he left Jia Qu. He also praised Jia Qu's diligence.

Now in the Huguan area of ​​​​Shangdang, because the Linghu family finally broke free from the clutches of Taiyuan, they have common interests with the group represented by Fei Qian, so they cooperate very well with Jia Qu and are extremely harmonious. This relieved some of Jia Qu's burden.

But the gentry in Taiyuan were always a threat to the Shangdang.

Regarding this point, Feiqian didn't say much in his letter. He just asked Jia Qu to work with Huang Cheng on the recruitment and training of Shangdang soldiers in addition to political affairs, "to prepare for emergencies"...

Jia Qu took the letter and thought about the words "to prepare for emergencies" for a long time, but he was not sure whether Fei Qian's idea was to defend or prepare for an attack. Is it aimed at Taiyuan in the north, or Hanoi in the south?

Jia Qu couldn't think clearly, so he called Huang Cheng. He thought that Huang Cheng had been following Fei Qian for a long time after all. In addition, recruitment and training were also Huang Cheng's main responsibilities, so while taking a breather, he I also want to know what Huang Cheng thinks of these six words.

Regarding Yang Zan's matter, Huang Cheng did not have as much pressure as Jia Qu. It was not that Huang Cheng was generous or negligent, but on the one hand, Huang Cheng was from Jingxiang and naturally did not have the worries of Jia Qu's family and relatives. What if it really happened? Whatever the case, Huang Chengda could just ignore it and leave, but it was not that simple for Jia Qu to move his family; on the other hand, Huang Cheng had experienced the chaotic Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he had also seen At that time, some governors, governors, and dignitaries with high family names were fleeing in panic in order to avoid the Yellow Turban bandits. Therefore, there was no longer much sense of respect and mystery for the so-called noble figures, not to mention leading troops who might be on the battlefield at any time. There were more than ten times as many people as Jia Qu who had seen death, so they basically didn't take it to heart.

In Huang Cheng's concept, Fei Qian, the land of Bingzhou, was finally won over. Although he is from the Fei family, he is also part of the Huang family, right? Therefore, no matter who dares to stretch out his hand, he will chop off his hands and feet. Feet, where does that come from, to put it mildly?

Therefore, after reading Fei Qian's letter, Huang Cheng was quite dissatisfied with Jia Qu's questions and said: "Since Zhonglang has the order, the recruitment and training is just to let them go south or north. Won't we know when the time comes? Maybe the north and the south will work together. , maybe not?"

"..." After hearing what Huang Cheng said, Jia Qu was helpless and speechless.

The north and the south are not only different in direction, but also in the layout of various equipment, city walls, camps, etc. The layout system is also different. To deal with Taiyuan in the north, it is necessary to find an advancing base north of Huguan to garrison and prepare troops, food and equipment. If all the supplies are aimed at the south, more sentries will be placed on the Taihang Mountain Trail and more beacon towers will be built. How can this be the same?

But on the other hand, what Huang Cheng said also makes sense. Since we don’t know where Fei Qian’s ultimate intention is, we should make some preparations for both sides. However, this is limited to human and material factors, and it is impossible to focus on one side as much as That's relatively perfect.

Huang Cheng looked at Jia Qu and suddenly smiled: "...Liang Dao, Jia Shijun! You are also the governor of a county now. Do you think the words "Zhonglang" mean that you are taking advantage of the opportunity? ?Okay, that’s what I think anyway, just say whatever you want, don’t worry about it... By the way, I have 800 new warriors over there, and the original food reserves in the camp are somewhat insufficient. Liang Dao, can you help write one? Approval, please allocate some more to me..."

"Okay." Jia Qu nodded, turned around and wrote an approval document for food and grass and gave it to Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng was not too polite. He hugged his fists and said goodbye in a hurry and went to the mansion to collect food and grass. It's not that Huang Cheng has any objections to Jia Qu, it's just that despite Huang Cheng's honest appearance, he's still a little flirtatious inside. Since Fei Qian emphasized the need to recruit soldiers for training, it's very likely that there will be some wars in the future. Make more preparations early and train your soldiers to be stronger. That is what you should do most now. As for those troublesome things, let Jia Qu handle them...

Jia Qu sent Huang Cheng off and returned to the hall. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Overall, he and Huang Cheng had been working together harmoniously during this period. Huang Cheng looked carefree, but in fact he was very measured in doing things. He used half the time just now. Remind yourself of this in a joking way.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report that Commander Fuyun of the Black Mountain Army had come to visit, so Jia Qu asked someone to invite him into the lobby.

"...Jia Shijun, thanks to the pity of Zhonglang, is willing to accept a certain tribe..." Zhao Yun is cautious by nature. He could have taken people down the mountain directly after getting Zhang Yan's approval, but Zhao Yun made a special trip to Huguan again. Explain it to Jia Qu again to avoid any misunderstandings when a large number of people go down the mountain and pass through the Shangdang boundary. Of course, it would be better if Jia Qu is willing to support a little more food and grass on the way.

After hearing this, Jia Qu suddenly felt something in his heart. It was not that he was suspicious of Zhao Yun, because the people Zhao Yun led only passed by the south of Huguan and did not enter Huguan, so there was no problem of a sneak attack. Jia Qu thought that since Zhao Yun could lead his men down the mountain, he naturally got Zhang Yan's approval, which meant that Zhang Yan intended to make friends with Fei Zhonglang or join forces to some extent...

In this way, can Zhang Yan, who is active in the Taihang Mountains, become the "opportunity" that Fei Zhonglang mentioned?
