Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2224 Come early and come late
"Kong Ming didn't use the manpower we left in Hanzhong..." Fei Qian looked at the information in hand, and then his expression changed slightly, "This Zhang Yuanxiu...is already... It seems that he is 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 can't be done subjectively, and Zhang Ze has slowly changed in the past few years. It was even faster than Fei Qian imagined, just like a benign tumor transformed into a malignant one.

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 didn't use them.

"Kong Ming, this is..." Pang Tong sighed, "This is what I want to do..."

Zhuge Liang also has his own pride, and of course there is another reason that Pang Tong is not very easy to say.

After all, there are still necessary procedures, otherwise in the Han Dynasty when the information was not very smooth, no matter what Zhang Ze said, in the hearts of most people in Hanzhong, he was still an important leader in the Hanzhong area. Although actions such as talismans can be praised as the killing decisions of the parties concerned, from another perspective, isn't it a bit too arbitrary?
Fei Qian seemed to have guessed something, and nodded, "It's really embarrassing for Kong Ming...I'll think about it again, whether it's necessary..."

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

It is not impossible to send troops directly, but it will cause greater riots.Now that Zhuge Liang left Hanzhong, Fei Qian mobilized his troops to approach him. There were undoubtedly two results. One was that Zhang Ze was afraid and was arrested without a fight, and the other was that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry...

The latter is obviously more likely.

Fei Qian was silent for a while, and finally nodded, accepting Pang Tong's opinion.If it was an ordinary person, Fei Qian wouldn't be so nervous, but Zhuge Liang was involved. If Brother Zhu became a Luolong Mountain because of this, wouldn't he be sprayed to death by saliva?

But conversely, these problems may not be considered by Brother Pig?
After all, Zhang Zeming did not show any signs of rebellion. Even if he sent people to intercept him, he could still be said to be catching bandits and thieves. These reasons are not completely untenable.If Fei Qianzhang did not have any obvious rebellious actions, he would make a big move. On the one hand, it would make the rest of the prefects and county magistrates panic. Problems at the political level can only be resolved by the military.

It's like the later generations only need one organization department to appoint and remove personnel, but in the end a large army of the military region is used. The impact of the two is naturally very different.

Either way.

Fei Qian turned his attention away from Zhuge Liang for the time being, and then focused on another direction, Longxi.

"Report from Linjing in Longyou, the warehouse caught fire in the county town..." Fei Qian spread the report and said, "Shi Yuan, what do you think?" 』

"If things are abnormal, there must be differences. Pang Tong snorted twice, "There is plenty of rain in spring, and the warehouse is a fire-proof area. How can there be a fire easily?"Let's follow the old method, one light and one dark, and a thorough investigation. 』

Fei Qian nodded, "I mean, Shi Yuan, how many counties and townships do you think will catch fire next?" 』

"what? 』Pang Tong was taken aback.

"This is an old trick... well, is it an old trick? ” Fei Qian said slowly, “This inspection has not yet begun... Linjing has made a good start..."

Death does not tell, not only can be used on people.

Huaxia follows the farming route, so for the countries on this piece of land, as long as they are not out of their minds, they must focus on storing grain and grass, because this is the magic needle to ensure the safety and stability of the entire Huaxia.

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

It's like Fei Qian's big family who makes lotus spoons. Even if some gentry children feel that there may be some grievances in it, no one dares to speak out, because it involves national stability, which is almost as big as the sky.

This is a red line that can never be touched.

In the whole world, no one can tolerate the corruption of the grain depot.

But since ancient times, the grain depot has been a high incidence of corruption, and there is even a common saying among the people that "the grain depot has no money, it depends on whether you can get it or not".

In ancient China, no matter which dynasty or that generation, if it is said to be corrupt and store grain, it must be a felony of beheading, but why do people dare to step on the red line, and even dare to play some tricks?

Because it is too simple to tamper with 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, the old grain must be sold every few years, and there is a price difference between the new and old grain. The base of tens of thousands of stones, or even hundreds of thousands of stones, if the library is not moving, it will fluctuate a little bit casually, which is a large amount of income.

More importantly, grain and grass reserves have always been a secret. Except for Fei Qian and a few individuals, few people will know the specific amount of grain and grass. It's not too easy to hide or make some tricks...

"The establishment of the granary is to calm disasters and prosperity, and stabilize the world. It can't be said that it is not important..." Fei Qian smiled, and then said, "It's just right now...send Zhang Wenyuan..."

Pang Tong's eyes widened, "My lord's intention is..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "That's right, the surrounding areas of Linjing County will be under military control immediately, and among the three assistants in Chang'an, officials who are proficient in accounting and auditing will be dispatched, and they will conduct a thorough investigation within one month!" 』

If Zhuge Liang's personal safety is not considered a major military issue, then the changes in Linjing's granary are enough to make Fei Qian angry.The community of the country, the community is the land, and the grain is the five grains. If Fei Qian treats it lightly today, more and more ghosts will emerge tomorrow!

Pang Tong suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and immediately clapped his hands, "My lord, this is a great move!"Very good!It can be described as one stroke! 』

Fei Qian: "o_O?"

...m9(`Д)...

Hedong.

Wen Xi.

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

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

Of course, to a certain extent, the attitudes of Zhang Shi and Zhuge Liang are completely different.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 of excrement when he was in the middle of pulling. ran to the side and barked...

But it was Zhang Shi's arrogant attitude that made people feel a little jealous, afraid of being slapped, not to mention the yellow and white juice in his hand, not to mention overturning and polluting his own food, or being bitten on his ass by a wild dog ...

It's so disgusting, let others beat it.

So this bystander went up layer by layer and was sent to Pei Mao.

Pei Mao didn't move.

It was like not hearing a fly or a stray dog.

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

but……

Not moving doesn't mean things can end like this.

A few people rushed over on horseback, and after getting off their horses, they hadn't fully stood still, and they didn't even greet the people around them one by one. news!Hussars come in March! 』

"Hussars want to patrol the river east! 』

"General Hussars is coming to Hedong in March! 』

"The Hussar General is coming! 』

It seemed like a spring thunder, causing vibrations in the entire river east.

Zhang Shi ran up and down the river like a mad dog, making people want to kick him into the gutter, and then beat him to death with a stick, but I don't know why Pei Mao didn't speak all the time, so that the people here in the river are also I can only endure...

But now, not only Zhang Shi is here, but Hussar General Fei Qian is also coming. I heard that the preliminary preparations for Guanzhong are already underway. It is said that the time will be set in early March. Counties and counties became even more panicked, and many people rushed to Wenxi's place, looking for Pei Mao's advice.

Since the defeat of the Hedong Wei clan, the Pei clan can be said to be the dominant family. Basically, there are Pei clan or Pei clan in all the counties and counties in Hedong.

Sometimes a big family is a good thing, and sometimes it is a bad thing.This principle is the same as that of Lin Zida.

Pei Mao sat in the small pavilion on the back hill in 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 own village.Even when Zhang Shi arrived here, he was full of cynicism and cynicism, and Pei Mao pretended not to understand anything, entertained him well without caring at all, and then respectfully sent Zhang Shi away, leaving Zhang Shi holding back. I hit the cotton with all my strength.

On the battlefield, ordinary peasants and soldiers are not counted as heads, and it doesn't matter how much they are chopped off. Only the heads of soldiers are counted as heads.

So in the new battle in Hedong, it doesn't matter how many small officials Zhang Shi cut off. Only the heads of Pei's family or Pei Mao's can be regarded as the first-level achievements, and they won a big victory on the battlefield.

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

"Patriarch..." The servants outside the pavilion reported respectfully, "The third householder is here..."

The Pei family is very large and has been multiplying in Hedong for a hundred years, so it has been divided into several houses, which is extremely complicated.Pei Mao is just one of them, and the bigger one.

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

Not long after, the middle-aged man who came rushing earlier came out of the pavilion covered in dust, and bowed his hands in salute, "I pay homage to my second brother... I am covered in dust, so I won't go in to hinder my cleanliness... But there are already people in this pass." It is confirmed that the hussars will go to Hedong in March...』

"It's supposed to come, it will come after all..." Pei Mao sighed, "I know... If this is the only thing, my brother might as well go and rest for a while..."

The people outside the pavilion were covered with dust and sweat, and stood still, "Second brother, this... Hussars are coming, what should we do now?"How about the second brother give me a charter...』

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

The people outside the pavilion cupped their hands again, "It's exactly..."

"Alas..." Pei Mao looked at the sky and sighed, "Why did Fang come to ask the old man at this time what should I do?"Where did you go when you were daring before? 』

"This... now is not the time to talk about this... After all, many disciples in the clan rely on Mr. Pei for guidance..." The people outside the pavilion bent over and lowered their heads, "Gong Pei is the elder of the clan and the leader of the clan. , I can't... I can't just leave him alone? 』

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

……(〒︿〒)……

First, the ground vibrated slightly, and then the air seemed to vibrate together.

The green grass that had just emerged in spring was trampled into the soil again, bringing out clods of different sizes, and then the tremor became bigger and bigger amidst the splashing of soil, gradually turning into a continuous tremor. The roar came from the opposite side of Xiaocaopo!

One ride, ten rides, one hundred rides...

A group of cavalry appeared at the end of the line of sight. The cavalry on horseback held their blades high, and a large flag with the word Cao was raised high. It was Cao Chun's cavalry unit.

Gongsun Kang looked at the cavalry of Cao Jun rushing forward, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then raised his arms high, and shouted loudly: "Don't panic!hold on!hold on!It's tight!Archer!Prepare--"

"wind! 』

"Great wind! 』

Arrows fly into the air!

There was a short whistle among Cao Jun's cavalry, and then the cavalry formed a little looser, as if it was originally a smooth pancake, but now it has become fermented bread. They were all shot empty, of course, some of them were shot on the shield and armor, and a small part also saw blood.

While the arrows kept falling, Gongsun Kang's eyes widened.

Cao Jun's cavalry began to turn!

Damn, how can you turn around? !

How did he know that I dug a trap before the battle? !
The roaring torrent drew a circular arc and flew towards the flanks of Gongsun and the others' army formation.

"Archer, keep shooting!do not stop!Give me orders!The right army turned to the north!Damn it!Don't mess!As long as there is no chaos, they will have nothing to do with us—” Gongsun Kang shouted heart-piercingly.

Indeed, everyone knows that as long as there is no panic, the infantry battle array can fight against the cavalry, but the problem is that Gongsun Kang in the center of the array does not have to directly face the impact of the cavalry, so Gongsun Kang can shout loudly to make people not panic, but Anyone else...

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

"Hold on!Gun!Gun! 』Gongsun Kang ordered again.

In terms of orders, Gongsun Kang's instructions are not wrong, but not all mistakes in the world will result in perfect results. The shield wall and spear forest are not displayed smoothly as they were in training. Facing the surging armored cavalry and the barbarian cavalry facing ordinary leather armor are basically two different things.

Sometimes the hands and feet are faster than the thinking, but most of the time the thinking is faster than the hands and feet, just like watching the dance of flying in the water, I think the posture is so beautiful, and then I close my eyes and stretch my arms, legs and feet in self-indulgence, imagining that I am also like in the water That flying sky-like posture is graceful, but he doesn't know that it actually looks like a puppy peeing to others.

On the front line facing the cavalry of Cao Jun, many Gongsun infantry closed their eyes tightly subconsciously, thinking that they had raised their spears and put them out. a little bit...

In later generations, a commoner cannot be called a qualified soldier without three to six months of training, otherwise there would not be a so-called recruit company. Then in the Han Dynasty, in Liaodong, a group of conscripts came Pawns, can these people be expected to behave like elites on the battlefield?

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

……(╬￣dish￣)=○……

Yuyang.

When Jushou came out of the tower, he was choked by the smoke on his face, coughed a few times, and then leaned on the wall, but touched the blood on his hands.

Jushou looked at the blood in his hands, then at the Cao soldiers around him, resisted the urge to wipe it off, looked sideways at the guard behind him, forced a smile on his mouth, and sighed slightly.

On the city wall, inside and out, are the traces of countless battles.If you observe carefully, you can see the blood of Maoxuewang, the intestines of Jiuzhuan large intestine, the lung leaves of husband and wife's lungs, and the elbows that look like charcoal roasted hooves...

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

The city wall was breached several times, and was taken back by force several times. Jushou thought that Yuyang was about to be captured several times, and 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 already dilapidated, just like Jushou's heart.

Back then when he fought with Yuan Shao, even when facing the attack of Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong, when the army almost collapsed, Jushou didn't feel as tired as he is today.

Because at that time, Jushou knew that even if he died in front of the battle, someone would remember him and take revenge for him!Because at that time, Jushou also believed that what he did was for the whole world, for the society, and for people like him to change the world according to their ideals...

However, just like no matter how brilliant the color is, it will eventually become dull, and no matter how delicious the dishes are, it will eventually rot. This time, Jushou felt extremely tired. sense.

That's right, loneliness.

Although he took the lead again and again and led the soldiers to repel Gongsun's attack again and again, Jushou knew that he was still alone and not trusted, just like the children of the gentry in Jizhou were not trusted by Cao Cao... …

Jushou even began to wonder if Cao Cao knew what might happen a long time ago, and then planned to use Yuyang to consume the power of the big nobles in Jizhou?

Jushou smiled wryly.

When he was playing politics with others before, he didn't feel that his hands were dirty, but now when he thinks that he might be played by others, he feels that his hands are really dirty...

It was like the blood on his hands now, sticky, reddish-brown to black and smelly.

Want to get rid of it, but can't get rid of it.

so dirty...
