Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 591 Pingding County is no longer in the territory

Xihe County used to have a vast territory, and if calculated in terms of area, it was even two or three times that of some small counties. Under the influence of the Han Dynasty, it gradually shrunk, some counties were abandoned, and the population of border counties moved inward.

   When Feiqian arrived at Xihe, he discovered that although the two counties of Hedong and Xihe are not far apart, and even the names seem to be very similar, they are quite different in terms of agriculture, mulberry and trade.

Although it is said that the three generals are in charge of the specific battles, Fei Qian is still responsible for the official coordination of ventilation. After all, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Although the Xihe River is broken, it is still a serious county. .

  Cui Jun has served as the prefect of Xihe County for nearly three years, and the wind and frost in Bingzhou has also been somewhat contaminated, and some white hairs appear in his beard and hair.

In the battle of Pingyang in the past, Fei Qian had three or four thousand troops supported by Cui Jun from Xihe, and the victory was confirmed in one fell swoop, but in a blink of an eye, Fei Qian brought three thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry, which had to make Cui Jun Involuntarily, a fearful thought emerged in my heart.

  Fei Qian's troops were stationed outside the city, naturally Cui Jun arranged for the troops to work, and Fei Qian brought Huang Xu's own soldiers into the city together, and came to Cui Jun's government office.

Because of Cui Hou's relationship, the two of them didn't have the embarrassing feeling of ordinary people meeting for the first time. On the contrary, they were like friends who haven't seen each other for many years. When talking about some local customs in Jingxiang, they still have a common topic. of.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cui Jun talked about the situation of the Xianbei people collected now. When it came to Pingding County, Cui Jun hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to say in a slightly aggravated tone: "Pingding County, not long after recovery, based on It is not stable, spins and falls again, this is my crime..."

   Fei Qian blinked, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong in this ordinary sentence, and then glanced at Cui Jun, only to find that Cui Jun was also staring at him.

something wrong.

Pingding is definitely not a newly recovered site, but a county that has been restored to the governance of the Han people at least two or three years ago, but it may be because it was looted by the Hu people, so the population may not be large. Attacked down, once again suffered miserably...

  But why did Cui Jun say that he had just recovered?

   And it is still specially emphasized?

Fei Qian tentatively said: "Xianbei is cruel and tyrannical to the people. Cui Shijun is brave enough to do things and raise troops to attack rebels. What is the crime?" , Xiao Cui, hasn't this Pingding County been recovered for a long time?

   Doesn't that mean slapping Cui Jun on the spot?

   Sure enough, Cui Jun smiled slightly, and stroked his beard gently with his hands. Although he didn't say anything more, he was obviously satisfied with Fei Qian's response.

  In the officialdom, the most annoying thing is not smart opponents, but pig teammates on one's own side.

Some people naturally like to show off, regardless of who said it, and don’t pay attention to the specific content, just intercept a sentence or two out of context, and then jump out and shout, saying this is wrong, that is wrong , and then he said a lot about it, which often starts with labor and capital and ends with stuff. At that moment, he enjoys the eyes of everyone, as if in this way he can reflect his own sense of existence.

  But I often don’t know that in the eyes of everyone, not all of them are appreciative…

  Show off your personality?

  Sorry, since ancient times, there has never been a person who is so flamboyant that he doesn't care about other people's feelings can sit in a high position.

   Seeing Cui Jun's reaction, Fei Qian could guess the reason.

  Han Junshou, since he is called Shou, he has the responsibility of guarding the land.

   Losing a city, no matter what the reason is, the light ones will be exempted, and the severe ones will be punished.

However, the situation in the northern part of Bingzhou is very special. On the one hand, the Hu people are tyrannical, and on the other hand, the Han royal court does not give any support. After the death of Emperor Ling, the government and the public seemed to have forgotten about the mess in Bingzhou. They had nothing left and had to rely on themselves.

so…

   But since there are not many troops, but they have to divide their troops to Pingding County, which is farther away?

   One word.

poor.

  When you are so poor that a mosquito is a piece of meat no matter how small it is, you have to consider these things. Xihe is located in the area of ​​the Loess Plateau, and the area of ​​cultivated land is even worse than that of Pingyang. Although Pingyang is dilapidated, it is still located on the edge of the folded area of ​​the Loess Plateau after all. There are not many ditches and ridges. With the irrigation of the Fen River, there are still a lot of fertile fields. It is estimated that all the fields that can be cultivated in Xihe County are now Adding it all together, it might be slightly more than the land of Pingyang...

Therefore, although Pingding has been looted, if the surrounding mature fields can be re-cultivated, there will still be some output, not to mention that Pingding County has been removed from the roster of the Han Dynasty's jurisdiction, and it is not in the territory of the Han Dynasty. It means that a large part of the output of Pingding county does not need to be handed over to the court...

   Therefore, it is not surprising that although the county seat was recovered, it was not reported to the court for a long time.

Now Cui Jun and Fei Qian have set a caliber that everyone can accept with a few words. For the Han Dynasty, what is lost is only what has already been lost, so the majesty of the dynasty has not been lost; for Cui Jun, there is nothing The crime of losing land is naturally not in danger of being decapitated; the soldiers who died in the settlement can also be reported to the court and become a hero. When the court allocates money in the future, they may also get a share...

   Dirty politics.

  This, there is no way. What is a standard is something that must be followed when there is no way to create a new standard. This is why later generations, whether it is a country or an enterprise, are so keen on setting new standards.

Fei Qian is also very helpless now, he can only carry out activities under the existing standards. Before he has absolute power, it is a joke to talk about his own standards, and he will be silently secreted by the people around him. It's useless even if you call yourself the king of heaven, just like Zhang Jiao's three brothers, Huang Tiandang shouted loudly, wouldn't they still have their heads chopped off three times to make specimens?

  With a unified attitude, it shows that they are candidates for cooperation, and naturally other things will be easy to handle. After Fei Qian and Cui Jun agreed on some specific rations of food and grass for the army, they ended this communication and exchange.

   This time, Cui Jun was responsible for all the rations for the 7,000 cavalry and infantry that Fei dived into the West River, but in return, Cui Jun got 20% of the spoils...

   Huaxia officialdom uses effective means to keep things secret.

   For example, if a branch opens up a market, it will definitely not report immediately at a new location...

   Instead, they quietly entered the village, and then reported to the head office after reaching a certain scale...
