Chapter 1108 Wind Surge
“Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon fly like a shuttle…”
Fei Qian stood in the courtyard, raised his head, looked at the skylarks flying by in the sky, and murmured something softly.
??If you are still a clerk in future generations, I am afraid that this sentence will be indispensable in your year-end report...
The rulers and the ruled are always on opposite sides, like water and fire, irreconcilable. The rulers hope to always be at the top, never resist, and always enjoy the rich fruits of exploitation, just like the autumn gifts Fei Qian is currently collecting.
??Is Fei Qian''s behavior of collecting land tax not exploitation?
hehe.
Just look at where your **** is sitting.
Are rulers always bad people?
The ruled are always good people?
It is not so easy to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. Oppression and resistance have always been opposites, but on the whole, these two behaviors are actually only the affairs of a small group of people.
?The vast majority of people are still confused and only look at what is in front of them...
Huang Yueying sat behind Fei Qian and used a thin comb to comb Fei Qian''s hair gently. The horn comb gently touches the scalp, which is slightly itchy, but very comfortable.
?Fei Qian looked up at the sky, watching the white clouds floating in the sky, and his black hair hanging down from his head...
??If it hadn''t been for the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian would never have imagined what he would look like with long hair, and the imprint of his crew-cut hair in later generations in his mind gradually lost its color, gradually and quietly faded and disappeared.
Just when Fei Qian felt that he was a little bored, suddenly the sound of horse hooves stopped outside the courtyard, and then the guard''s report came:
“Report! Zuo Fengyi urgent military report!”
A guard rushed over holding a bamboo tube.
Fei tested the fire paint, then broke open it and took out the towel. After scanning a few lines up and down, he thought for a moment and then gave the order: "Send the order! At three o''clock, discuss matters in the government hall!"
The roots of my hair were suddenly pulled and hurt...
Huang Yueying sped up, combed her hair three times, put it up, took out a wooden hairpin, and then silently waved to the maid holding Fei Qian''s crown, took the crown and put it on for Fei Qian. .
?Fei Qian held Huang Yueying''s hand with his backhand and remained silent.
After a long time, Fei Qian squeezed Huang Yueying''s hand slightly, then let go, stood up, and walked to the front hall.
In this world, if there are gods, then these gods must have the greatest pleasure in playing with humans. Whatever humans want, they will find ways to get it awkwardly, and they will never let humans get it easily. It is so famous. : "The Test of the Gods".
Things always come suddenly and violently, and are always unplanned.
“Huh? The Zhao family has launched troops?!”
?Zhao Wen, who was in Chang''an, had been slow and slow, and there had been no movement for a long time. However, he did not expect that after the winter came, he launched a bold attack and led his troops to surround Zhong Shao''s Lingyi and launch an attack...
For a while, the political hall became quiet.
Zhong Shao and Zhao Wen will have a battle sooner or later. This is something everyone knows very well. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Although Guanzhong is big, it is small and pitiful for Zhong Shao and Zhao Wen who have developed a deep gap.
"...Zhao probably had to do this..." Xun Chen had been running around for a while and had just returned to Pingyang. He was obviously a little thin. He coughed slightly and continued, "After all, the Guanzhong Zhong family has been rooted for many years. Although the Zhao family has Jingzhao Yin, its position is empty. In addition, the Chang''an warehouse is empty due to continuous battles! If the Zhong family is not defeated in one fell swoop and shocked Guanzhong, the Zhao family''s Jingzhao Yin may have reached the end..."
"...from Pingyang to Diaoyin, half of it is a mountain road, and from Diaoyin to Zhengxian, half of it is also a mountain road...Now the cold winter is approaching, plus the freezing rain the day before, if there is more rain and snow, then...even if the army starts Dial, this mountain road is inevitably difficult to navigate..." Jia Xu said slowly, "The Zhao family is very afraid of our cavalry, so they are eager to attack them now..."
Zaozhi was silent for a while and said: "...the cultivation in Guanzhong is mostly destroyed...In my opinion, if the Zhao family cannot pacify Chang''an and outside before the spring plowing, there may be no hope for the autumn harvest next year! Raising troops in winter is certainly risky, but also It makes sense…”
Fei Qian listened and nodded.
War has always been like this. Although it sometimes seems sudden, in fact the roots have been planted very early.
Zhao Wen originally thought that Zhong Shao must be doomed, so he happily took over the position of Jing Zhaoyin, but unfortunately, Zhong Shao did not die, and using Fei Qian''s name, he actually competed with him in Guanzhong.
On the one hand, in order to stabilize Xia Mou, Zhao Wen has already consumed a lot of money and food. If we do not understand the Shao farming issue as soon as possible, then if the situation continues, once Zhao Wen has no money and food to supply to Xia Mou, Then the original balance will inevitably tilt. Therefore, under such a situation, it will naturally become Zhao Wen''s best choice to force Xia Mou to participate in the battle to attack Zhongshao while he can still control it. choose.
As for Xia Mou…
?At this time, almost no one cares about what Xia Mou thinks. After all, no matter from which aspect, Xia Mou seems to have no strengths except for having some soldiers in his hands. He was Zhong Shao''s puppet before, but now he is Zhao Wen''s puppet. Who would care about a person who only wants to be a puppet?
“…Xu Yuanzhi has led his troops to station in Liyi…” Fei Qian looked around slowly and said, “…What should we do in the current situation?”
Xun Chen pondered for a while and said: "According to my opinion, it is better to wait for the defeat of the Zhong family before rushing to Chang''an, defeating the Yang family in one fell swoop, and seizing Guanzhong. If we just sit back and ignore it, I''m afraid it will be difficult for Hongnong in Guanzhong to succeed. Good opportunity…”
Zao Zhi hesitated for a while, frowned and said: "...Although this autumn''s harvest is good, there is not much storage after all...If we raise another army...this army ration...and if we attack Guanzhong and capture the county, we will be able to plow next year''s spring , how should we arrange it?”
Jia Xu’s eyes flickered and he didn’t speak. He didn’t know what to think about anymore...
Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, who had been sitting on one side without speaking, and asked, "I wonder if Shi Yuan has any insight?"
Pang Tong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "...this matter, Yi Er..."
………………?Hongnong.
A group of people is walking westward in a leisurely manner.
Although winter has entered at this time, the river is not yet frozen. Although most of the leaves on the surrounding mountains have withered, there are still some coniferous trees standing proudly. The river here is wider, but the rushing water is still a little restless. The water splashes with broken jade and jade, making it extremely noisy.
On one side of the river, because of the convenience of watering, there are some villages gathered in areas suitable for farming. At this moment, there are still many farmers gathering their fields and trimming some ridges and ridges before the heavy snow comes in winter. , to facilitate farming in the coming year.
?However, we can still see a lot of uncultivated fields, which are already overgrown with weeds...
The land of Hongnong has been prosperous and peaceful for a long time since Liu Xiu established his capital in Luoyang. Although there are occasional intrusions by barbarians, they do not last long and will recede within two or three months, so generally speaking, everything is considered stable.
Except Dong Zhuo’s case this time.
??This time the capital was moved, almost half of the population of the counties along the route of Hongnong was plundered!
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was crowned soon, and the matter of relocating the population was shelved. The relocation of the population to Guanzhong was not continued, and Hongnong barely breathed a sigh of relief.
But even so, Hongnong was deeply injured. This can be seen from the fact that this should have been fertile land, but now it has to become a wasteland.
?This group of people and horses passed by, which startled the farmers working in the fields. Later, they saw that the army and horses were under the banner of the Yang family, and they were relieved.
Since returning to Hongnong, the Yang family has been rectifying the officialdom, restoring the country, arresting thieves, and restoring defense. Except for recruiting some people to repair Luoyang City, other labor has stopped, so overall, It was still okay, and there was no intention of fishing all the water, so the people around him slowly relaxed and returned to the fields.
Some of the country nobles who were originally near Hongnong were taken to Guanzhong by Dong Zhuo. Now only ten of them have returned. Some, seeing that the situation was not good, abandoned their fields and fled south with their families, which led to Many fields here have become ownerless land again, which has become Yang''s best tool to appease these farmers...
??In this group of people, there is a middle-aged scribe who has not worn armor and is only wearing a half-new and half-old cloak. He has three long strands of beard and a slightly thin body.
??After bidding farewell to Yang Biao from the Hongnong County Office and taking over such an army, Yang Jun felt somewhat uneasy.
??Yang Jun was originally a branch of the Yang family. In the early years, his ancestors went to Hedong to develop. Later, he followed Yang Biao back to Hongnong from Hedong, and returned to the main family. Naturally, Yang Biao wanted to take charge of Luoyang, but he had no skills at all, and Yang Jun, who had a little knowledge of military strategy, was able to catch up and command such a soldier.
?This journey has been pretty good.
The Yang family of Hongnong has a deep foundation and was originally one of the top clans in the world. Now that it is clear that horses and chariots are going to compete for a place in the world, they will naturally dig out their family wealth. Now is the time when people are arrogant. Some people who were originally The private soldiers of the Yang family also turned around and became officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and also obtained many military positions.
Therefore, although Yang Jun did not give detailed instructions, these veterans who had been on the battlefield all arranged everything properly with loud voices. The morale among the soldiers was also good, and they seemed to have the same look. .
?Of course, Yang Biao had his own arrangements for the defense in the east, and Yang Jun didn''t worry about it. However, Yang Jun was a little worried about things on the west side, and was slightly worried.
Now in Hedong, the attitude of the governor Wang Yi is neither good nor bad, but it can be seen that he is caught between Fei Qian and Yang Biao, that is, he is wavering. People like this are naturally the most disliked, but Yang Jun also understood that if he were in Wang Yi''s position, he might not be able to do much better.
But one thing is certain, that is, Wang Yi did not dare to challenge Fei Qian, and he also did not have the courage to offend Yang Biao.
So the line east of Hedong can be left alone for the time being.
However, Guanzhong…
Guanzhong is so important.
The power of the Zhong family is actually not that big. If Zhong Shao and Fei Qian hadn''t heard about some hidden agreement, Zhao Wen would have been able to deal with it by himself. But now, it has naturally become a trouble.
??The key is not Zhong Shao, but Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West!
???In case General Zhengxi Fei Qian leads his troops out of Diaoyin and goes south along the pass, depending on the current situation, there is really not much way to stop General Zhengxi''s cavalry...
In the land of Guanzhong, except for some ravines and mountains in the north and south directions, there is a flat river in the middle. If Fei Qian''s cavalry rushes into it and comes and goes, and Zhao Wen or Yang Jun, who don''t have many cavalry, That is to say, they are all helpless and helpless.
?Therefore, Zhao Wen of Jingzhao Yin wanted to use speed to defeat slowness this winter, first clearing away the hidden danger Zhongshao in Guanzhong, and then joining forces with Yang Jun to camp at Zuo Fengyi''s strategy, which was approved by Yang Biao.
Only by blocking the Diaoyin opening, the entire Guanzhong will be safe.
With Guanzhong safe, Hongnong will have a stable rear. Otherwise, if there are two Yuans in the east and the west cannot be stable, it will become a joke for the Yang family to fight for the world...
Pass Tongguan as soon as possible, and then move his army to the left to guard Zhao Wen''s flanks, so that Fei Qian, the general of the Western Expedition in Diaoyin and Liyi, will be wary of leaving Guanzhong without permission, thereby gaining some authority for Zhao Wen. Give him enough time to attack Lingyi and destroy Zhongshao before returning to the north.
As soon as Zhao Wen''s soldiers arrive, they can form a horned force and defend according to the danger. However, Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, will be attacked from another direction no matter which aspect he attacks. If so, Fei Qian''s soldiers will be attacked. , when there is insufficient transportation of grain from afar, and there is no plundering in the wild, it will be the end of the division''s veteran soldiers. If Fei Qian insists on not retreating, there is no problem. If he advances steadily, he will naturally win victory!
Along the way, thinking about it all the way, in the end, Yang Jun finally got an idea, and then he couldn''t help but perked up, pointed forward with his riding whip, and shouted: "Hu County is ahead of us! Along the way, You have worked very hard. After arriving at Hu County, we will rest for a day and each team will be given three pieces of pickled meat! We will set out the next day and drive straight to Tongguan. Don’t miss it!”
There are regulations on drinks and other things in the army. You can''t drink whatever you want. But since the general has spoken, naturally everyone is happy. Although the veterans in the army also know that this is Yang Jun''s move to win over the soldiers, but who cares? Well, if you have wine now, you will be drunk now. What’s more, along the way, eating coarse cakes, your mouth has already become extremely light...
"The general has spoken!" The military commanders or military commanders in the army shouted with their necks stretched out, "When we arrive in Hu County, we have wine and meat! We can still repair for a day! We will set off the day after tomorrow and rush to Tongguan! Damn you, you bastards, why don’t you leave quickly! It’s too late, the military law doesn’t recognize you!”
