Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 264 Agitation

Fei Qian reckoned that if there were really only one or two thousand yellow scarf thieves, if the Mianchi Daying army moved or sent troops from Luoyang, they would certainly be able to break the siege of Xin'an, but it would take at least ten and a half days to do so. It's been a month, so won't the books he transported to the Cai Mansion be delayed here?

Besides, the time is getting tighter and tighter, and the situation in Luoyang itself is very tense. If we don't transfer the Cai Mansion's collection of books in time before it deteriorates completely, then in case something happens, we have to take care of it. Books, but also to take care of people, it is inevitable that one will lose sight of the other.

  So now if the siege of Xin'an can be resolved earlier and the road opened earlier, then of course it is the best thing for Feiqian.

  The Hanguguan military power is in the hands of Guo Pu, not only the original 1,000 Luoyang local soldiers, but also 1,000 Xiliang cavalry. Because Hanguguan itself is Xin'an to the west and the ancient city to the east, it is not very difficult to transport grain and grass, so there are not many auxiliary soldiers, only five or six hundred. It's almost the same if you take out some pawns to do a favor or something.

  Like this time when the capital was moved westward to Chang’an, the transshipment of grain and grass was basically a journey westward. Otherwise, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who were empty on the road would also be consumed, and the longer the journey, the higher the proportion of consumption.

  Therefore, Hangu Pass has a lot of food and grass for war preparation. On the one hand, it is provided to the defenders of Hangu Pass, and on the other hand, it is convenient to transport from Hangu Pass to the west.

  Fei Qian, in the name of observing and studying at this time... Ahem, well, anyway, regardless of whether there is such a term in the Han Dynasty, it has such a meaning anyway, and ran to the granary of the inner city public warehouse in Hangu Pass.

  Fei Qian's identity as the servant of the left office, if he didn't point fingers, but just watched quietly, the warehouse chief of Hangu Pass really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

  The management of granaries in the Han Dynasty was already very meticulous. Grain and grass were put into storage by category, and specialized personnel were in charge. At the national level, it is called Taicang Ling, at the county level, it is called Cangcao, and at the county level, it is called Cangchang. The warehouse chief also has the position of Cangzuo to assist.

  Because Hangu Pass is an important pass, the design of the granary is relatively large, and it is also divided into multiple storage rooms. There are "seals" and "questions" on the doors, which are very complete.

   "Seal" is a mud seal, which is to seal the door with wet red mud, and then seal it tightly with a seal. If it is opened rashly, the seal will definitely be destroyed. The "problem" is to paste a printed paper on the side, explaining when and when several people sealed up something together. The sharing of "seal" and "title" is the earliest anti-theft measure.

   After wandering around twice, Feiqian met Guo Pu who came to inspect. It is one of Guo Pu's daily tasks to inspect the city wall and important facilities in the city twice day and night.

   "Master Fei, why are you here?" Guo Pu had a fairly good impression of Fei Qian, at least he didn't always know what he said, which was a headache, so he said hello when he saw it.

   Fei Qian arched his hands, and said with a smile: "I can't go out, I have nothing to do in the post house, so I came to take a look, just to compare it with what is said in the book."

   "Oh, this is also written in the book?"

"Yes, but the books are a bit brief, so you have to see it with your own eyes." Fei Qian pointed to the warehouse next to him and said, "It's like the saying in the book, 'Great the wall, put a small warehouse', But how high it should be, I won’t talk about it.”

Guo Pu laughed, and found Fei Qian even more interesting. Some of the gentry he met before were either unwilling to talk to him, or they just showed an attitude that books are omnipotent, and there are everything in them. You The old and the young are chirping at me...

   Like Fei Qian, the book is not detailed enough, it is not clear, and you need to come to see it in person. It is true that I have never encountered it.

Guo Pu said: "Haha, I get a headache when I read the slips..." While talking, he turned around inside, especially focused on looking at the military warehouse. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he called Fei Qian Say hello and go outside.

  Fei Qian followed Guo Pu out slowly, and asked casually: "Guo Duwei, when do you think the siege of the Xin'an Yellow Turban will be resolved?"

  Guo Pu waved his hands casually, as if to drive away something uncomfortable, and said: "There are only a thousand yellow scarves, what is it, just send out some troops and you will be wiped out!"

   "Oh..." Fei Qian nodded, and then said with some worry, "But don't be careless. At the time of Guangzong, many people in the government and the opposition thought that they would definitely win, but in the end..."

  Guo Pu paused, turned his head and frowned at Fei Qian.

  Guangzong is a stain on Dong Zhuojun. Back then when Lu Zhi besieged Guangzong City, he was framed by eunuchs and imprisoned. Dong Zhuo took office, but was defeated by Huang Jin's subordinates. .

Although there were many factors for Dong Zhuo's failure at that time, the biggest factor was that he changed his generals in battle, which was a great blow to morale. Dong Zhuo hadn't been seen by the leading generals at the time, so his command was somewhat ineffective, but anyway, Dong Zhuo was indeed defeated by the Yellow Turban, which caused some of his previous achievements in Xiliang to be questioned.

   This matter is known to all the generals of the Xiliang Army, and they are all dissatisfied with it.

  Fei Qian opened his eyes, looked at Guo Pu sincerely and innocently, and said, "What's wrong? Captain Guo?"

  Guo Pu shook his head, said in a muffled tone: "It's okay..." and continued walking.

"Alas..." Fei Qian continued as if chatting, "Actually, it was caused by procrastination. If Lu Zhonglang moved faster, maybe he was the one who cut off Zhang Jiao's head. Then he must be It's not a big deal to be named a marquis and a general, but in the end it gave the Yellow Turbans a chance to breathe and gather, and it will be difficult to fight if there are too many people..."

"...The military books say that you need to fight quickly..." Fei Qian shook his head and sold his book bags like a scholar who was dead on his books. While walking along, he glanced at Guo Pu out of the corner of his eye, and then continued, " …You must know that attacking the Yellow Turban is a real achievement, otherwise when will Huangfu and Zhu be able to seal the two chariot generals..."

"...I'm a scholar, I don't have the martial arts like Guo Duwei, otherwise I will definitely kill these damned yellow scarf thieves, and I will be crowned noble Yinzi, and glorify my ancestors..." Fei Qian said while using Gestures emphasize the tone, as if using the yellow scarf as chopping melons and vegetables.

  Guo Pu stopped, and said a little irritably: "...Why don't I want to! But there is no military order and you can't act without authorization!"

   "Ah?" Fei Qian asked suspiciously, "Brother Ling...isn't he in Mianchi Daying...why hasn't he not yet? Oh, it might be blocked by Xin'an, maybe it will arrive in a few days..."

"When the order came, Xin'an was cleared, and..." Guo Pu laughed, shook his head but got stuck in the middle of his speech, blinked his eyes a few times, and suddenly said excitedly, "... Minister Fei, what do you say about me? Brother should give me an order, right?"

   "This should... yes? After all, you are his brother..."

   In fact, Zhuge doesn't know how to play the piano, but the situation forced him to. I only played it twice in my life, once for Zhou Yu...and once for Sima Yi...
