Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 319

  Because Feiqian has already arrived in the territory of Hedong and is on the road to Anyi, it needs to raise the flag.

  In the vicinity of Sili, all the people who come and go are migrants, and there are Dong Zhuo soldiers shuttled around, so it is basically very safe. It only needs a scepter of Zuo Shu Zhonglang who can shoot a court.

  But leaving Dong Zhuojun’s actual control area, relatively speaking, the role of the banner is very important, and Fei Qian’s official position is too special...

   "Let's go... have a look..." Fei Qian sighed inwardly, stood up, Huang Cheng and Du Yuan followed Fei Qian and left the big tent together.

  The command of ancient military formations mostly consisted of golden drums, flags, horns, and messengers. Fei Qian's positions include military positions, so he also has a complete set of military command systems.

   Among them, the flag is the most important and the most part.

  Normally speaking, when a general leads an army, there must be a big 旆, also called 旄旆. When the commander-in-chief fights, he often builds a large flag by his side, and the so-called commander-in-chief often refers to this. In battle, it often becomes the target of the enemy's concentrated attack, and it also becomes an important node of our army's morale. The soldiers of the whole army always pay attention to where the big cockroach is, whether it exists, and even affect the outcome of the battle.

However, Feiqian has not yet reached the level of a general, so there is only one flag of the commander-in-chief of the "Three Armed Forces". Now this flag is standing on the left side of Feiqian's big tent-it is a long white flag, and on it is written " Commander of the Three Armies" four words.

  So this flag can't be a flag representing Fei Qian's identity, it can only show that there is a commander of a troop here, but I don't know who it is.

   Therefore, it is also necessary to make a special general flag belonging to Fiqian.

   This is what Huang Chenglai asked.

Because when Fei Qian left, it happened to be the critical period of moving the capital, and everything including the arsenal was sealed up. Fortunately, Li Ru put it on himself, so all the items were prepared for Fei Qian, but because of this, it belonged to Fei Qian The general’s flag was not made anymore. They were all on their way, and it was also within the control of Dong Zhuo’s army. It was enough to use a scepter of Zuoshu Zhonglang, but now that they entered the territory of Hedong County, they had to erect Fei Qian came under his own banner.

   It is not difficult to make a flag, and the artisans who accompany the army can do it. Otherwise, what should I do if it is accidentally damaged during the march? Could it be that he just held up a broken flag and waited until he returned to the capital to change it?

  The difficult thing is to choose a banner...

  Fei Qian currently has both central and local government positions, both civil affairs and military positions, so Huang Chengcheng was caught blind and had to come to ask Fei Qian for instructions.

  Fei Qian came to the back camp, looking at the three flags on the ground, he felt a little numb.

this…

  On the left is a plain blue face with a red border, on which there are four big characters "Zuoshu Zhonglang"...

  In the middle is a red-colored surface with a black border, on which there are five large characters "Hu Hun Zhonglang Jiang", and then there are four relatively smaller characters "Biebu Sima" below these five characters...

  The far right is a cyan side with a blue border, the number of characters is relatively small, and there are only three "Shangjunshou"...

  ——The full title of Feiqian’s official position is “Leader of Zuoshu Zhonglang and Protector of Xiongnu Zhonglang General of Biebu Sima Xingshang County.” If the official positions are arranged according to the number of words, how can Feiqian squeeze into the front row...

  However, now comes the problem, can’t one flagpole be hung on three sides?

   This is too messy.

   Let's set up three flagpoles, maybe others will think that there are three commanders coming.

  Just stand one, I really don’t know which one to hang, I can’t change it every day, right?

   So, which one to use?

  Fei Qian had been thinking about the situation in Bingzhou all the way, making his head dizzy, and now seeing the three flags on the ground, he suddenly felt a wave of malice rushing towards him...

   "Hang up on all three sides!" Fei Qian said angrily, regardless of the matter.

   "Huh?!" Huang Cheng and Du Yuan beside him were stunned.

  Huang Cheng looked at the flag, and then at the flagpole beside him, feeling a little sorry for the flagpole: "Here, Mr. Fei Lang, if all of them are hung up, the ones below will almost be dragged to the ground..."

The length of the flagpole is custom-made. The flagpole of the general’s flag is shorter than that of the “Commander of the Three Armies”. Otherwise, this handsome flag will be blocked during the battle, causing the army’s morale to be unstable. Is it the pot of the handsome flag or the flagpole? pot?

   Raise the flagpole of the "Commander of the Three Armies" a little higher?

It is not very reliable, after all, all flagpoles are processed, carefully selected trunks, peeled and dried in the shade, and then painted with oil, toughness and strength, not just cut a sapling in the wild to be a flagpole of…

  The flagpoles like "Commander of the Three Armies" are expressly stipulated that the total height of the flagpole is one foot and nine feet, the length of the flag is three feet, and the width is one and a half feet. There are twenty-five five-color tail tapes, and the tail tape is two feet and five inches long...

  These are fixed and cannot be changed without authorization. Moreover, the quality of the temporary flagpoles cannot be guaranteed. What if a sudden gust of wind blows the temporary flagpoles out of trees in the middle of the battle?

  So let’s not talk about how to hang it, it takes a lot of effort to make the flagpole, and I need to use it now, how can I have time to wait...

   Fei Qian estimated the size and felt that what Huang Cheng said was true. You said that you are going out with the flagpole with three flags, are you going to show off, or are you going to mop the floor?

   "Cut this flag! Then put the three flags together and make it the size of one!"

  Huang Chengqi said aiaiai: "This... this... is it okay?"

  Fei Qian turned his head and asked Du Yuan: "Wen Zheng, is there a rule in the Han Law that the tricolor flag cannot be used?"

Du Yuan blinked his eyes, tried to think back, and found that the Han law only stipulated the size of the flags of different official positions, the style of the border, whether there is a tail, whether there is a feather, etc., but there is really no rule that the three colors cannot be used. of the flag...

However, mixed-color flags are generally used to indicate the directions of southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. For example, the northeast corner is represented by a black color flag on the upper basket. The troops are going in that direction...

  Using the tricolor flag as the flag of the troops and generals, this, I really don’t have it...

   But no one has used it like this, okay?

   "It's decided like this. Since there is no rule saying that it is not allowed, it means that it is allowed!" Fei Qian did not avoid these side effects in later generations. Anyway, doing so also solved the problem of not knowing which flag to hang, didn't it?

  Fei Qian waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over, and then went back to the tent on his own, leaving Huang Cheng and Du Yuan to look at each other.

  Thus, while the whole camp was stunned, the first three-color general flag of the Han Dynasty was raised in the smoke, causing many soldiers to fall asleep after eating burnt porridge that night.

  Because many soldiers who were on duty to cook were stirring, their eyes slanted to the strange blue, red, and blue tricolor flag, and then the movements of their hands stopped unconsciously...

   Guan Yu sighed: All right. You just said that no matter what I ask you to do, you will do it for me even if you don't want your life. It turns out that you are lying.

   Cao Cao said: No, no! Never lie to you! What does Yunchang want me to do?

   Guan Yu said: I want to go back to my brother. He is by Yuan Shao's side. Brother Cao, please let me go.

   In an instant, Cao Cao's mind was in a state of confusion, and he could no longer speak.

   Guan Yu said: What? won't you?

   Cao Cao said: No...I don't want to, but...But I don't want...I don't want to.

   Guan Yu said: I told you to let me go, but you refused. I asked you to take me back to my eldest brother, but you refused. I had no choice but to kill myself.

   As he spoke, he stood up slowly, and stroked the Qinglong Saber with both hands.

   Cao Cao said: I will accompany you! How... How can you do it alone?
