Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 642 When it comes to talking

The area around Anyi in the east of the river was also an important place for Qin to deploy defenses during the Warring States period, because this area is like the long and narrow ancient Hangu Pass between Chang'an and Luoyang. The area bypasses Tongguan to attack Xianyang's right.

   This is the northern line to attack Guanzhong, and it is also a relatively large and gentle area at the corner of the Yellow River. The abundant irrigation of the river has also brought enough grain and grass production to this area, which can be provided to the garrison for supplies.

   This area is actually the area from Anyi to Yong'an. In fact, half of the Linfen Basin is controlled by Feiqian, half of it is in the hands of the Hedong Wei family, and the Yuncheng Basin near Anyi in Hedong County.

  Passing Anyi to the east, it is a long and narrow area formed by the Zhongtiao Mountain Range and the Wangwu Mountain Range. There are only high mountains and deep valleys, dense forests and apes, but not many people.

Marquis Wei Wen of the Warring States Period once sent Wu Qi as a general to cross the river along this area, conquer Linjin and Yuanli to the west, and go to Luoyin in the next year. Building fortifications, and while seeking peace, dispatched diplomatic envoys to spread the threat of Wei Wenhou, which finally stopped Wei's army and won a chance to breathe.

Later, Qin State never forgot about this period of history. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. After thinking about it for many years, Qin State finally took advantage of Wei Wenhou's death and Wei State's turning from prosperity to decline. Later, they attacked Zhao State and captured the Shangdang area, which eventually caused the Shandong states to attack Guanzhong from the north line and was blocked by Qin State, completely closing the door to attack Guanzhong from the north. We can walk through Weihan Passage and Wuguan Road.

  Passing through this long and narrow area, continue to the east through the Taihang Mountains and enter the Jizhou area, then turn around to the north, and you will find the Shangdang Highlands, and turn south to cross the Dahe River, and you will be Luoyang.

Feiqian walked along the valley. Although there is not much arable land for farming in this area, and there are not many large villages settled here, but occasionally some mountain hunters can be seen faintly in the mountains and forests. Perhaps it was because of the difficult life here, or perhaps it was because Feiqian's reputation had spread here, and even some hunters stepped forward to join the army when they were marching.

In addition, this is also the most convenient road for trade between Shangdang and Hanoi and other places, so there are also many vendors. However, Fei Qian's army is marching, and these vendors are also hiding on the side of the road in awe, watching clearly After taking the banner of Fei Qian, many caravan leaders also came forward to offer some food, grass and cloth...

  Most of these caravans rely on Feiqian's business in the Northland, so they all know Feiqian's very distinctive banner...

Some of the additional effects of defeating Xianbei are now reflected. When Fei Qian led the army along the way, some country heroes who had closed the gates of the Wubao village and were trembling and terrified now figured out that it was Fei Qian who was protecting Xiong Zhonglang When they are in the army, most of them will bring some food, grass, wine and meat to the army.

  In addition, on this road, the spontaneous actions of these traders also promoted the morale of Fei Qian's soldiers, and they all walked with their heads held high and their eyes straight...

   Although serving as a soldier is said to be paid by the army, if it can be respected by the people, then naturally no one will be unhappy.

Beidi has been bitter for a long time, although Feiqian only won a battle with Xianbei now, it seems to give these people who live in the Beidi a glimmer of hope, so it is reasonable to be respected and welcomed up.

  Xi Zhicai was standing in the carriage in a normal shape, holding a gourd of wine, drinking every sip.

For him, Cao Cao is still a good lord, who can listen to what he has to say, and is willing to listen to it. The most important thing is that although Cao Cao is also the family of officials after the eunuch, but perhaps because of his status, he has no respect for him. The identity of Xi Zhicai has a great sense of repulsion, but basically holds the same attitude of being treated as an equal with Wei Ke, which is extremely rare.

   You know, most of the gentry now are the same as Wei Ke, frowning when they see muddy legs.

   But the land in Dongjun County is really not very good.

Yuan Shao, the chariot general, is still focusing on Jizhou Mu, who has just been acquired, gathering Hebei gentry and Jizhou Haoyou, so he doesn't care about the Dongjun area in the south, but it's okay to let it go completely. Well, after all, Dongjun is equivalent to the southern tentacles of Jizhou. If Dongjun falls into the hands of other people, it will inevitably be much more difficult when the chariot general Yuan Shao integrates the land of Hebei and then turns around and goes south.

   So Cao Gong was given a chance.

  Maybe also an opportunity for Xi Zhicai.

   Duke Cao’s wish to conquer the west, I guess… um…

   It is very unlikely that there will be one, and even if it is really awarded this title, it probably does not match the reality.

   It is possible to conquer General Dong...

  As for Duke Cao’s current title of General Fenwu, hehe, hehe, let’s not mention it.

  If it wasn’t for the chariot general Yuan Shao who ordered Duke Cao to march south to Dongjun, this general Fenwu would not be as good as the captain of the city gate of Yecheng...

While drinking, Xi Zhicai was thinking about things endlessly, and his thoughts jumped and changed very quickly. This is also a habit of his. Whenever he thinks about something, he often needs to drink some alcohol. It seems that if he doesn't drink, his brain will become dull Same.

This time, under the order of Duke Cao, he went to the north of Bingzhou to have contact with General Huxiong Zhonglang. Xi Zhicai did not feel much pressure, as they were all disciples under the same master, and the relationship between these disciples is usually not that of turning faces. If you think about Dong Zhuo's denial of Yuan Kui, he was basically sprayed to pieces by the Shandong gentry. Besides, there was not much serious conflict between Duke Cao and Fei Zhonglang...

  Aha, if Mr. Cao can also hold the title of General of Zhonglang, then a third-ranking gentleman of his division would be quite a reputation...

  Hehe, of course, a miscellaneous Zhonglang general like General Fenwu will be fine.

   Next, Princess Cao’s main direction is to go east...

   And Fei Zhonglang...

  Xi Zhicai propped up his body a little bit, and leaned against the carriage board, the originally cynical smile on his face was abated slightly, and he became a little serious.

  This Fei Zhonglang is indeed not easy. If he were to take his place, he might not be able to open up such a large area in just one or two years...

  Businessmen can't afford to be early without profit, but trade is the criterion for the prosperity of a region. Looking at the caravans on this road, one can imagine how prosperous the North Pingyang should be.

An abandoned city is now almost becoming the most important business node in the Northland. Xi Zhicai also admires the transformation. After all, he is good at planning strategies, but if he is to engage in economic income generation, this... Ok…

  People have their own expertise, which is natural, but like Fei Qian Fei Zhonglang, it seems that literature is also good, and there is no problem in combat, and he can manage people's livelihood and engage in business. This... um...

Xi Zhicai sullenly subconsciously raised the wine gourd and took a sip. Before he could swallow the wine slowly, he heard a report from soldiers outside the carriage, and encountered a team of scouts from the Hun Zhonglang General in front of him, asking for instructions Do you want to identify yourself?

   "Pfft!" Xi Zhicai couldn't swallow a sip of wine, spit it all out, said Fei Zhonglang, and Fei Zhonglang arrived, what's the situation?

happy mid-Autumn Festival!

   Have you eaten mooncakes?

   Remember, you have to eat moon cakes made by Han people...

   Is it halal...

   Although the moon cakes made by the Han people are just like that...

but…

   Hehe, the specific reason is related to customs...
