Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315 Farewell
Fei Qian knelt down in the hall quietly and upright, and behind the bead curtain on the hall, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was also sitting quietly, looking at him.

Originally, Fei Qian could not be used, because although according to the usual practice, ministers dispatched abroad need to come to say goodbye to the emperor, but that refers to the county guard level above two thousand stones, and Fei Qian's highest official position is at most one than one. Qianshi...

However, Feiqian's official position is really special, coupled with the memorial sent by Cai Yong, Liu Xie had the idea of ​​meeting Feiqian, so after obtaining Li Ru's consent, he went to the east of the Deyang Hall. Pavilion, summoned Fei Qian.

An emperor, who wants to see a courtier, needs the consent of another courtier. It is unbelievable and ironic, but this is the current situation.

Even now, there are guards standing outside the hall. Although they don’t pretend to be listening, in fact, maybe the guards, or the eunuchs, most of them will be responsible for sorting out the conversation between the two and handing it over to Li Ru. Look……

Liu Xie was brought up by Empress Dowager Dong. In fact, Empress Dowager Dong did not have much literary accomplishment. She was not much different from those women in the countryside who did not know poetry. She was stingy and greedy for money. But she really loves Liu Xie. If there is something delicious and fun, she always thinks about Liu Xie first.

Therefore, Liu Xie also grew up in a relatively relaxed environment, more like a normal child, loves to laugh, loves to make trouble, and is relatively courageous. One reason for coming forward.

But now Liu Xie has completely changed.

Can you imagine that a ten-year-old child has started to think and speak like an adult, and even speak slowly every word?

"... Fei Zhonglang," Fei Qian's current official position is really weird, so after Liu Xie thought about it for a few seconds, he felt that he was more used to calling him this name, "... how sure are you of the strategy of assimilating the state?"

Fei Qian cupped his hands and replied, "Don't dare to hide anything, I'm not sure."

It's not that Fei Qian is fooling around or something else, but that there is really no certainty. Although there are some examples for future generations to refer to, will it be possible to implement it in the Han Dynasty?

Fei Qian also didn't want to pat his chest indiscriminately in order to gain a good impression in front of the emperor, sometimes making easy promises, or exaggerating whether to report good news or not bad news is an act of digging a hole for himself.

Liu Xie was a little strange and asked, "...Why?"

"No soldiers, no wealth, no food, no one, no confidence..." Fei Qian replied.

What Fei Qian said is very straightforward and practical, and the resources he has now can be counted clearly.

In addition to his original private soldiers, Fei Min, Patriarch of the Fei family, supported him to guard 30 people, fifteen horses, fifty ordinary armors, five sets of full body armor, and some weapons and provisions.

The Fei family itself is not a very big family, and the Fei family is also facing migration, and they also need guards to protect the main family, big and small, all the way to the west, so if Fei Qian hadn't asked Bingzhou to dissolve the Yuan family and Contradictions between the Yang family and the Fei family, Fei Min really doesn't necessarily have to bring these out...

On the court side, there are quite a few more. A total of 200 soldiers were dispatched, including 300 people from the Bingzhou Army and 500 people from the Northern Army. , five hundred knives around the head, five hundred armour, one thousand each of clothes, gowns, swords, and braids, two hundred bows, one hundred crossbows, one hundred shields, fifty horses, a few arrows, and other things like axes and chains , hooks, claws, forks, horns, etc., two carts of sundries, [-] shi for food and grass, and [-] people's military pay for three months in advance to Feiqian...

That is to say, the big man formed an army of about 500 people for Feiqian, which belonged to his jurisdiction, and included a three-month maintenance period. After three months, it was no longer within the scope of repairs, and Feiqian needed to go solved.

The above is all of Fei Qian's belongings.

Compared with ordinary people, it is quite impressive. Like Gucheng, which Feiqian visited before, there were two or three hundred guards. Therefore, the force controlled by Feiqian alone is equivalent to that of two counties. total force.

However, this is of no use.

Bingzhou is so big, 700 soldiers, oh, plus Fei Qian's own private soldiers, [-] people are thrown into Bingzhou, it really can't even make a splash...

However, Fei Qian's words made Liu Xie a little puzzled, and said, "Since that's the case, where should we go?"

"Liang used troops to suppress the Qiang rebellion. Four out of ten used 240 billion yuan. The finances were scarce, the government money was empty, all officials were reduced, and loans were made to princes and princes. It is still incomprehensible..." Fei Qian said a few figures, that is, The military expenses spent by the Eastern Han Dynasty against the Xiliang Qianghu rebels...

Because the Eastern Han Dynasty adopted a soldier structure that combined recruitment and enlistment, it spent much more military expenditure than the Western Han Dynasty, and the example Fei Qian mentioned was just one of the battles against the Qianghu...

It can be said that there was a problem with the policy of the Eastern Han Dynasty on the Qianghu in Xiliang, which led to repeated rebellions by the Qianghu, which in turn affected the entire national finance. As a result, in order to suppress the rebellion, the Eastern Han Dynasty had to borrow money many times and increase taxes to various counties. The degree of oppression of ordinary people was further increased. In the end, the people were overwhelmed and encountered a disaster year. They could not survive, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred.

Of course, among them, due to the troubled times, the gentry from all over the world also formed docks to protect themselves and absorbed black households, which led to a further reduction in the taxation of the Han Dynasty, and the situation worsened...

The land was merged, the number of self-cultivating farmers at the bottom became less and less, the strength of the gentry was further strengthened, and the power of the royal family was further weakened.

Of course, Fei Qian would not say these things. He just said that if he could assimilate a barbarian, he would be able to directly add a soldier to control the country, and save the military expenditure that would have been aimed at these barbarians. It can ease the entire big man's finances...

Fei Qian finally said: "... In the affairs of the world, there are those who know what is easy and how to do it, and there are those who know what is difficult and how to do what is easy. As a subject, how can you choose what is easy and discard what is difficult? Han Lu, since he is loyal to the Han, he will do his best and work hard to guard the borders and protect the land for the great Han, and will live up to His Majesty's kindness."

Fei Qian spoke very calmly, very straightforwardly, without exaggeration, without concealment, without any cadence, impassioned, but it made Liu Xie feel very real, very sincere, completely like the cloud mountains and mists of Tai Fu Yuan Kui, Or the oblique words of the eunuch Wang Yun are completely different.

Behind the bead curtain, Liu Xie silently said "Knowledge is easier than practice, knowledge is difficult and practice is easier" on both sides, and nodded involuntarily.The Fei Qian in front of him seemed to be as gentle and plain as he remembered...

Liu Xie suddenly thought of something, smiled slightly, and said, "I am so relieved that Fei Zhonglang has this ambition, and I am about to leave...Come here! Bring some pastries!"

Soon some eunuchs took some pastries, put them in a food box, and brought them over.Liu Xie motioned to give these cakes to Fei Qian, saying: "This cake is still beautiful, I give it to you to eat, so as to strengthen you."

After Fei Qian kowtowed to thank him, he took the cake, bid farewell to Liu Xie, and withdrew.

Fei Qian glanced at the food box in his hand, and couldn't help but have a strange idea in his heart, there shouldn't be some bloody edict in it...

Fei Qian was thinking, holding the food box and walking away. He didn't expect that just after turning a corner, he would meet Dong Zhuo from Deyang Palace...

Dong Zhuo's body was originally extremely strong, and during this period of time he was pampered in Luoyang, and gained a lot of fat. Standing forward at this time, it really feels like a wall is blocking the front.

It used to be far away in the main hall, so I didn't feel much. Now when Dong Zhuo stood in front of him, Fei Qian really felt a strong sense of oppression, as if the sun and warmth were completely blocked at this moment. All that was left was darkness and chill.

Dong Zhuo walked up to Fei Qian who was giving the salute, raised his head halfway, squinted his eyes, stared at the food box beside him, and said, "What is this?"

Fei Qian slandered inwardly, Cao Cao learned his feelings from you, Fatty Dong, didn't he?
However, Fei Qian replied respectfully, "This is a gift from Your Majesty."

"Oh? Come here!" Dong Zhuo is different from Cao Cao, he is not polite at all, maybe Fei Qian is just a petty official in Dong Zhuo's eyes, not worth mentioning, so he directly asked someone to take the food box in front of him, and opened it for a look , filled with four-color pastries, a total of eight pastries, divided into two layers, each with two pieces, stacked together.

Dong Zhuo tapped the food box lightly with his finger, then glanced at Fei Qian, who was bowing his head, apparently wondering why Liu Guihui gave him some cakes.

"This cake is very beautiful, how about giving it to me?" Dong Zhuo grinned and asked.

Don't look at Fei Qian's calm face now, in fact, he is constantly circling in his heart, hiding some note in the pastry and steamed buns, this kind of plot is simply a creative idea, it will be seen in almost every spy movie, Liu Although Xie didn't see these movies and TV shows, what if he learned it without a teacher?
So, should I agree to Dong Zhuo, or should I not?

　It's hot...it's hot...sprinkle some cumin powder on me, and I can serve it on a plate...I wonder if my hair is burnt...how about the May Day holiday?Come back to work overtime!
