Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 846 Another Battlefield (6)

  In Shangdanghuguan, Jia Qu took Fei Qian's letter, and finally let out a long breath, and his expression was much more relaxed.

Although Jia Qu made a choice at that moment, it doesn't mean that he can sit back and relax. After all, what he killed was not just an ordinary person, but the executives of the two thousand stones of the current dynasty, the local princes, and even the representative. He not only confronted the gentry in Taiyuan, but also slapped Hongnong Yang in the face. Therefore, although Jia Qu has been dealing with political affairs as usual for a while, the pressure in his heart is indeed beyond words.

   As a result, Jia Qu has obviously lost a lot of weight, and the cheeks on both sides are a little bit inward. After all, he is still a person who is under the age of double ten, and the ability to resist pressure in his heart does not mean that he can have it.

  Taiyuan and Shangdang are the northern and southern ends of the entire Shanxi plateau, and are also on the dividing line between farming and grazing. Therefore, there are abundant water sources and fertile land here, and it has been a fiercely contested area since ancient times.

  During the Warring States Period, the famous Battle of Changping took place in this area, so it is not much worse to say that the land here is watered with blood.

Although Jia Qu is a false prefect, for a person who is under the age of double ten, such a starting point is unimaginable for ordinary people, so Jia Qu also pays 12% of his efforts in return, and often handles political affairs. until late at night. Huang Cheng persuaded him a few times, but to no avail, so he let Jia Qu go, and also praised Jia Qu for his diligence.

Now in the Huguan area of ​​Shangdang, because the Linghu family finally broke free from Taiyuan's grasp, they share the same direction of interests with the group represented by Fei Qian, so they are very cooperative with Jia Qu, and they are extremely harmonious, which can be regarded as It relieved Jia Qu some burden.

   But the gentry in Taiyuan are always a threat to the Shangdang.

   Regarding this point, Fei Qian didn’t say much in his letter, but asked Jia Qu to work with Huang Cheng on the recruitment and training of Shangdang’s soldiers in addition to political affairs, “in case of emergencies”…

  Jia Qu held the letter and pondered for a long time about the six words "to be used in times of need", but he was not sure whether Fei Qian's intention was to defend or prepare to attack? Is it aimed at the direction of Taiyuan in the north, or in the direction of Hanoi in the south?

Jia Qu couldn't figure it out, so he called Huang Cheng, thinking that Huang Cheng had been with Feiqian for a long time after all, and Huang Cheng's main responsibility was recruiting and training, so while he was breathing, I also want to know what Huang Cheng thinks of these six characters.

Regarding Yang Zan's matter, Huang Cheng didn't have as much pressure as Jia Qu. It wasn't that Huang Cheng was lenient or negligent, but on the one hand, Huang Cheng was from Jingxiang, so naturally he didn't worry about having family and relatives like Jia Qu. For anything, Huang Chengda can slap his **** and leave without fear, but it is not that simple for Jia Qu to move his family; from another perspective, Huang Cheng has experienced the chaotic Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he also saw At that time, some prefects, governors, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries ran away in panic in order to avoid the Yellow Turban bandit soldiers. Therefore, they no longer have much sense of reverence and mystery for the so-called noble figures, not to mention that the commander of the army may be on the battlefield at any time. When it comes to death, there are more than ten times as many people as Jia Qu who have seen death, so they basically don't take it to heart.

In Huang Cheng's view, Feiqian, the land of Bingzhou, was won with great difficulty. Although it belongs to Fei's family, there is also a part of Huang's family, right? Feet, where do so many polite terms come from?

Therefore, after Huang Cheng read Fei Qian's letter, he was quite disapproving of Jia Qu's question, and said, "Since the Zhonglang has an order, the recruitment training is just for him to go south and north, and he will know when the time comes? Maybe the north and the south will work together." , maybe isn’t it?”

   "..." Hearing what Huang Cheng said, Jia Qu felt helpless and speechless.

The north and the south are not only different in direction, but also the arrangement of various equipment, city walls and camps are also different. To deal with Taiyuan in the north, it is necessary to find a forward base in the north of Huguan, garrison and prepare military supplies and equipment. And other materials, if it is aimed at the south, more guard posts will be placed on the Taihang Mountain Trail, and more beacon towers will be built. How can this be the same?

But on the other hand, what Huang Cheng said is also reasonable. Since we don’t know where Fei Qian’s ultimate meaning is pointing to, then we should make some preparations on both sides, but this is limited to human and material factors, so it’s impossible to focus on one side. That is relatively perfect.

Huang Cheng looked at Jia Qu, and suddenly smiled and said, "...Liang Dao, Mr. Jia Shijun! You are also the governor of a county now, do you think the words Zhonglang have a sense of timing? Well, anyway, that's what I think, just talk about it, don't worry about it... By the way, I have recruited 800 strong men over there, and the original food and grass reserves in the camp are somewhat insufficient. Liang Dao, please help me write an approval document. Call me some more..."

   "Okay." Jia Qu nodded, turned around and wrote an approval document for grain and grass to Huang Cheng.

  Huang Cheng was not very polite, he clasped his fists together, and hurriedly said goodbye to go to the mansion warehouse to get the food. It's not that Huang Cheng has any opinion on Jia Qu, it's just that Huang Cheng's appearance is simple and honest, but his stomach is still a bit of a flower intestine. Since Fei Qian emphasized the need to recruit soldiers for training, it is very likely that there will be some wars in the future. Doing more preparations earlier and training the soldiers to be stronger is what I should do most now. As for those brain-consuming things, let Jia Qu handle them...

Jia Qu sent Huang Cheng away and returned to the hall. He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. On the whole, the cooperation with Huang Cheng during this period of time was quite harmonious. Remind yourself in a joking way.

  At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report that it was the commander of the Black Mountain Army, Fuyun, who had come to visit, and Jia Qu had someone invite him into the hall.

"...Mr. Jia, I have Zhonglang's mercy, and I would like to accept a certain group of people..." Zhao Yun was cautious by nature. He could take people down the mountain directly after Zhang Yan's approval, but Zhao Yun made a special trip to Huguan again to talk to Jia. Qu explained again, so as not to cause any misunderstanding when a large number of people went down the mountain and passed the Shangdang boundary. Of course, it would be better if Jia Qu was willing to support a little bit of food and grass on the road.

When Jia Qu heard this, his heart suddenly moved. It was not because he was suspicious of Zhao Yun, because the people Zhao Yun led only passed by the south of Huguan Pass and did not enter Huguan Pass, so there was no problem of sneak attack, so Jia Qu thought that since Zhao Yun was able to bring his troops down the mountain, he naturally got Zhang Yan's approval, which meant that Zhang Yan intended to befriend Fei Zhonglang or join forces to some extent...

   In this way, can Zhang Yan, who is active in the Taihang Mountains, become the "opportunity" mentioned by Fei Zhonglang?
