Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2347 Different Ways
Gu Zang City.

After winter, the weather is getting colder day by day, and the speed of the weather cooling has become more and more obvious. The wind blows all day long, whistling, sometimes bringing dust from afar , making the city of Guzang a vast expanse of yellow.

If it rained a little more, it might not be rain at all, but the kind of shattered ice slag, with the chill of approaching winter, would seep into the bones of people one by one.

The urgent letter sent by Zhang Liao was delivered to Jia Xu in Longxi on a fast horse.

Jia Xu stood in front of the hall with her hands behind her back.

The surrounding guards stood quietly, and the icy cold wind could only lift up the corners of these guards' shirts, but could not shake their bodies, just like the chaos in Longyou and Longxi this time, only one corner could be lifted but could not affect the overall situation Same.

"Huns, Xianbei... Qiang people, Di people..." Jia Xu smiled and shook his head slightly, "Xiaowu...Guangwu...have you ever thought about it...hehe, it must have been unexpected..."

Jia Xu shook his head, walked back, sat in front of the table, picked up a pen, wrote a short note, put it in the bamboo tube, added wax, and asked the messenger to pass it back to Zhang Liao.

This is not an order to Zhang Liao, just like Zhang Liao's letter is not a consultation to Jia Xu.

After all, there is no timeliness for coming and going.

In the absence of a pre-agreed simple communication, the relatively crude method of human transmission can only be used.

If Zhang Liao was on the front line and had to wait for orders from the rear to act, it would take nearly ten days to travel from Yangping Pass to Guzang. They must obey the remote control command from the rear, and the delay cannot exceed ten days...

Taking the previous battle of Xiqiang as an example, it took about ten days from the actual start to the final defeat of the Beigong Group.Therefore, in an era when news cannot be delivered in a timely manner, an excellent frontline general is often more important than an excellent staff officer in the rear.No matter how powerful an afterthought is, it is often not as effective as an ingenious change by a general on the front line.

As long as conditions permit, perhaps everyone has the potential to become an afterthought master, but not every general can possess the ability to solve problems on the spot when facing the front line.

It's like Zhang Liao wrote a letter to Jia Xu, not to tell Jia Xu about the new changes from Xiabian to Yangpingguan, and then ask Jia Xu for advice, but to report to Jia Xu, expressing what kind of method he will adopt It's just a strategy.

As for whether Jia Xu can receive this letter, in fact, it will not have much impact on Zhang Liao's strategy. Of course, it would be best if he could get Jia Xu's affirmation, but if the messenger was intercepted halfway, In unexpected situations such as lost letters, Zhang Liao will also not sit and wait.

It is the authority of the front-line generals to make changes on the spot, and it is also their heavy responsibility.

Hussars gave Zhang Liao the order to attack Yangping Pass, but they did not say that Yangping Pass must be conquered at a certain point in time, or within how long...

Zhang Liao brought a certain amount of kerosene and gunpowder. If he really found the right opportunity, even in the face of such a heavily guarded pass as Yangping Pass, it would not be impossible to find an opportunity to take Yangping Pass in one fell swoop.

It's just that Zhang Liao judged that a quick attack on Yangping Pass would not be able to complete Hushi's plan, so Zhang Liao decided to test it outside Yangping Pass first, and not rush to attack.In addition, Zhang Liao also said that he didn't meet the Di people along the way, so he asked Jia Xu to be on guard, because the Di people might outflank Zhang Liao's rear, or they might simply reverse and invade Tianshui, Jincheng and other places.

Jia Xu also agreed with Zhang Liao's judgment.

At present, Longxi is gradually implementing the latest policies, spreading out the administrative agencies and government personnel in various places.Tai Shici is still sitting in the Longyou area, which is relatively prone to repeated occurrences, while Gao Wutong and Yun Er have entered the Qilian Mountains. For Beigong, um, maybe the remnants of the Western Qiang tribe in Beigong are no longer available. and compilation.

Now Longxi needs stronger authority, a more stable situation, and...

More comprehensive recovery and development.

So no one is allowed to interrupt this process.

This is what Zhang Liao’s letter meant, just to remind you.

The caravans from the Western Regions to and from Chang'an have been stagnant for several months. Although the suspension of these months will not cause serious damage to the economic system of Hussar General Fei Qian, after all, the economy of Hussars is not entirely dependent on the Western Regions. It's just that the Western Regions of Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu were completely cut off, so there must be some problems.

This is why Jia Xu chose the right time in Longyou and Longxi to use the power of thunder to gather Zhang Liao Taishici and some troops from the Western Regions to encircle and suppress them with all their strength, leaving no chance for Western Qiang to relax.

The same is true for Di people.

The big guy hasn't moved for a long time...

These guys around probably think that the big man is already weak and can be bullied?
But thinking about it, it's not surprising that these guys, watching a big man fight a Xiqiang for decades, naturally have all kinds of plans in their hearts.

40 years.

Ten days.

Ha ha……

Jia Xu sneered twice.

A soldier came from outside in a hurry, and his footsteps were hurried, which caught Jia Xu's attention.

The guards outside the hall stepped forward, and then brought Jia Xu an urgent message from Tai Shici from Zhangye.

Zhangye is relatively close to Guzang, and it can be reached in three days on a fast horse.

Jia Xu frowned slightly.

The heads of Beigong have already been sent to Chang'an, so why are there any reckless Qiang people who want to make trouble?

As a result, when I opened the letter, I found that it was not about the Qiang people, but about being forgiven.Meng Shu was seriously injured while defending the city, and he was recuperated for a period of time, but the injury has not healed and even started to deteriorate.

Mengshu's injury, if it is left in later generations, there is a high probability that it can still be saved.Meng Shu injured his ribs in the battle, the violent impact caused the fracture, and then some of the broken bones pierced into the lungs, causing the wound to bleed and then lead to inflammation.If there is the condition of the medical system of later generations, if you remove the broken bones and then suture the wound, there is a high probability that you can survive, and even restore [-] to [-]% of its original state...

It's a pity that the current big man can't do this at all.

Because the bone fragments could not be removed, the wounds in the body would not heal naturally, leading to inflammation of the internal wounds, and eventually causing a generalized high fever and fainting...

Meng Shu knew that time was running out, and wanted to see Jia Xu before he died.

Jia Xu pondered for a long time, then sighed slightly, then stood up, "Come on!"Send an order to Han Zong to come... Also, to prepare the horses, someone is going to Zhangye! 』

……()…

Zhangye.

Tai Shici went out of the city to meet him.

"How is General Meng doing now?" 』Jia Xu didn't exchange any pleasantries, but asked when she saw Tai Shici.

Tai Shici shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid... more people are unconscious, less sober..."

"Walk. 』Jia Xu just drove the horse forward.

"..." Tai Shici was a little surprised, and quickly stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to move forward quickly, while he himself followed behind Jia Xu.

Before arriving at the Meng Mansion, Jia Xu jumped off the horse, her legs were unavoidably numb, and she staggered a little when she walked.

Driving all the way from Guzang, even though Jia Xu was originally good at riding, he was still somewhat inferior to the serious cavalry, but with the support of the guards, Jia Xu generally recovered his normal consciousness. He just slowly entered into Mengshu's courtyard, and then sat in front of Mengshu's sickbed. He didn't show any habit of tabooing diseases that people in the Han Dynasty often had, and just sat there, looking at Mengshu calmly.

Meng Shu lay down on the bed, his cheeks were thin, his complexion was flushed with a sickness, and he was panting heavily.

"General Meng..." Jia Xu was silent for a while, and then said, "If you have any questions, you may as well speak up. 』

Meng Shu's eyes couldn't find the focus, he stared at Jia Xu's figure with all his might, and said with difficulty: "Why...why..."

Jia Xu was silent for a while, "In the third year of Taixing, I advised you to go to the Chang'an Lecture Hall. You said that the Qiang people were in chaos... For four years, I persuaded you again, and you said that the bandits were in chaos... Excuse me, is it true?" Really messy, or a lie to shirk? 』

"..." Meng Shu panted with difficulty, and after a while, he seemed to gather some strength, "...Why, why? 』

"Because Dong Zhongying failed.His way was wrong. Jia Xu looked at Meng Shu, "You want to go that way, of course you are wrong.Beigong is dead, and from now on, there will be no distinction between Eastern and Western Qiang, no second Beigong, or Hanma and the like... Similarly, there will be no second Dong Zhongying ...'

"For...for..." Meng Shu seemed to want to ask the third why.

"From the time when the lord established himself in the north, then fought in the north and the south, until now..." Jia Xu still looked at Meng Shu calmly, "It took three to 40 years for the Great Han to conquer Xiqiang, but now we follow the lord and fair Xiqiang, How long did it take... Where is the difference?Can General Meng understand what a certain person said? 』

Meng Shu was panting, and seemed unable to continue to say something, but turned his eyes to the side, as if he was looking at Son Meng who was kneeling on the edge of the bed.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, and then said: "General Meng... As for the rest of the Meng family's disciples, it's the same as usual... as usual... I hope General Meng can understand... If there is any complaint, it is to blame someone... for treating me On the day when Huang Quan met again, someone poured wine for General Meng to make amends...』

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu got up, then nodded slightly, and left.

Meng Shu didn't even look at Jia Xu, he just gasped for breath, and finally closed his eyes slowly...

Not long after Jia Xu walked out of the courtyard, she heard crying in the courtyard, so she stopped, closed her eyes, sighed slightly, and walked forward again after a while.

Tai Shici followed behind, and after walking for a while, Tai Shici suddenly said: "Jia Shijun... Hushi..."

Jia Xu raised his head slightly, looked at the sky and said, "It's not the meaning of hussars." 』

Tai Shici frowned, "Since that's the case..."

"Gaozu first entered the customs, and made a three-chapter agreement with his elders, "The murderer dies, and the wounding and theft are punishable." Jia Xu said slowly, "But the rest of the crime can be done?"In addition, the matter here must be done as soon as possible, there may be chaos in the next judgment...』

"Wei..." Tai Shici suddenly didn't know what to say, and in the end he just paused, looked back at the yard behind him, and then sighed slightly.

...(o□`o)...

Liu Shao entered Yuzhou, and when he was approaching Yangcheng, he met Yu Yi.

This is a person who has only one sentence in the annals of the Three Kingdoms.

Yu Yi and Liu Shao have a good relationship, and this time he came to welcome Liu Shao, and it was Yu Yi who invited him.

After meeting Zheng Xuan's "Top Disciple", Yu Yi did not show any fawning or contemptuous behavior. Of course, his main purpose was not to come for Zheng Xuan's "Top Disciple", but for Liu Shao.

Strictly speaking, it is Liu Shao who went to Chang'an in person, saw it with his own eyes, heard it with his own ears, and had first-hand information.

These days, not everyone can go there if they want to, there is no green code, uh, pass, even if they get to the ground, they will be detained...

Although Liu Shao somewhat guessed that Yu Yi may not have sought him out for the so-called clean-up, but being able to come here without avoiding suspicion is more or less a friendship, so he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Shao Ran, I'm sorry... ...'

Of course, you can also bring some foolish thin silk lacquer boxes with bacon or something to greet people. Throw it on the front of the car and you're done.However, like Yu Yi, who considered the different needs of Liu Shao and Xi Ji, and even the grades of the entourage, split the total quota and gave it to each person according to different standards. Naturally, it took some thought. .

Everyone likes to feel valued, even if that value comes from a pack of tissues, um, a small roll of cheesecloth.

Yu Yi didn't hear about Zheng Xuan, after all, Xi Ji was sitting in the car behind, which explained some problems.What's more, what Yu Yi cares about is Chang'an.

"Kongcai has worked hard all the way, it's nothing more than lifting a finger..." Yu Yi glanced back slightly, and then said softly, "I heard that there... Longyou rebelled, and Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan all rebelled one after another... They are already besieged on all sides... ...is there really such a thing? 』

Liu Shao froze for a moment, "Besieged on all sides? 』

The hussars in Chang'an are already besieged on all sides?

Liu Shao recalled the things he encountered when he was in Chang'an. Those people who were leisurely or busy on the streets seemed to hear the cries of the street market again, smelling the various kinds of food. Novel dishes and food that make people linger...

"This..." Liu Shao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Liu Shao had never felt this way before.

Of course, Liu Shao can answer it very simply, and then throw out the answer in a blunt manner, just like most people who come to meet the wind, whoever gets something according to different specifications, and then sends it in front of him. After completing the errand, you can leave with a shake of your ass.

But since Yu Yi has prepared so hard, but he has dealt with it himself, perfunctorily speaking, even if the friendship between friends can be maintained today, there is a high probability that it will not last long...

"What about the great general..." Liu Shao didn't answer Yu Yi's question first, but asked, "I don't know why..." Liu Shao got stuck because he didn't know what word should be more appropriate.It doesn't seem to be very good to use news, and of course it is not appropriate to use trends. As for measures and administration, it seems to be speaking from a hostile position. After going there, it seems that using such words is not very appropriate.

Fortunately, Yu Yi also seemed to understand Liu Shao's meaning, hummed, and then showed a little inexplicable smile, "The general has a new wife..."

"Uh..." Liu Shao blinked twice.

Then Liu Shao quickly realized, "I don't know what the general accepts as his wife..."

"Yin Shi.It was originally the daughter-in-law of General He. ’ Yu Yi said.

"..." Liu Shao took a breath, and then looked at Yu Yi. The two looked at each other, and seemed to see some answers from each other's eyes, "The general... really... worked hard and did it by himself." ...'

Yu Yi laughed twice, and then said, "In this way, General Hussar's place..."

Liu Shao nodded, then tilted his head slightly, and motioned back, "In the back of the car, there is also Chang'an's new food, five-element and five-color cake, very delicious...it is a gift from the emperor as a tribute... There are also some novel cooking methods, which are said to have been invented by Hushi...』

"To pay tribute to the Son of Heaven? ’Yu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Liu Shao's meaning was also expressed very clearly.

"The harvest this autumn is mediocre..." Yu Yi also took a glance behind, then smiled and said, "You are offering this thing... I am afraid that there are rumors that hussars are gluttonous, and they are extravagant and wasted..."

Liu Shao sighed, "Do your part as a courtier..."

...《(;Д`)》...

Emperor Liu Xie looked at a painting in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

This is the map of the whole city of Luoyang drawn by the emperor Liu Xie after he arrived in Xu County, according to the painter's memory and the supplementary corrections of several veteran officials.

In Luoyang City, the most obvious is the north and south palaces in the shape of "Lu".The two palaces are connected by a complex road covered with a roof. When Liu Xie was young, he thought this complex road was very long, and it was the longest road he had traveled. Only now did he realize that such a long road in memory , but only seven miles.

Liu Xie touched a certain place on the map of Luoyang City, and said softly, "Father...I have come out now...but I haven't come out...this road is so difficult... ...'

In Liu Xie's mind, his father was not fatuous, incompetent, and greedy as those gentry children criticized him.Liu Xie knew that in his father's study room, there were piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, classics and history collections, and he had heard his father playing the piano.

But in many cases, his father looked very tired, always a bit exhausted. Liu Xie didn't understand why this happened at first, but now he understood a little bit, because sometimes he was in the mirror, and Saw the shadow of his father.

"Father..." Liu Xie muttered to himself in a low voice, "Dong Zhongying said that he is a sword...so there is no loyalty...I thought he was a jerk before...but now..."

"At least I'm more honest than some guys who say they're loyal..."

Outside the main hall, there is a yellow door kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty...Liu Shizhong has returned..."

"Oh?Will Zheng Kangcheng accompany him in response to the imperial edict? 』Liu Xie put down the painting in his hand.

"Reporting to Your Majesty...Zheng Kangcheng is an old man, he is not good at doing things, so he never came here...But there is a high-ranking disciple, Chi Xi Xi Hongyu came with Liu Shizhong, and thanked His Majesty for his great kindness..."

"... Xixi, Xihongyu? 』Liu Xie repeated, and then his eyes fell on the scroll in his hand again.

"I know, let's back down." 』

Huangmen knocked his head, and then his figure disappeared at the entrance of the main hall.

"This is a sword..." Liu Xie said in a low voice, it was subtle, like the green smoke of the smoker lingering in the corner of the hall, "Or is it a loyal person who keeps saying? 』
