Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 938 A turning point

  Morning mist lay over the shrubs and slowly rippling over the river, like a layer of white gauze, covering the world and shrouding the land in a haze.

  Everything around, at this moment, is quiet and quiet, only the sound of the river flowing on one side, and the sound of birds chirping in the slightly sparse woods beside the road.

   This is a peaceful morning, and the chaos in Guanzhong seems to be far away from here.

Suddenly, the birds that had been singing comfortably and happily fluttered their wings in panic, dropped the little bugs they had just spotted, and hurriedly flew into the air. In the dark eyes of these birds, reflected A team came out, pulling long smoke and dust, and came here!

From Sucheng to Pinyang, there are three roads, one main road, from Sucheng to the southeast, along a sloping mountain range, bypassing Baishuigou and then turning west, directly to Pinyang, and the other two are It is a mountain road, all of which go directly into the mountain to the west, pass through a small basin between the mountains that roughly forms an isosceles triangle, and then go south from the two valleys of Zhongyuling, which is Pinyang...

  Although there are three roads, the one that is actually suitable for marching is not the nearest mountain road, but the farthest one that goes southeast.

Fei Qian's army going south is naturally a mix of infantry and cavalry, plus heavy vehicles, it is naturally impossible to take the mountain road, otherwise it will be too light and risky, if there are three to five hundred ambush soldiers just in place It's enough for Feiqian to eat a pot, so it can be slower and more stable, and it will not choose mountain roads.

  The speed at which the Fei submerged troops deployed was even somewhat beyond Pang Xi's expectations. Although for Pang Xi, waiting one more day is another day of suffering, but he really did not expect that Fei Qian would lead his troops south so happily, faster and faster than he expected, whether it was Hu Qi or Bingzhou. Riding, heading southeast across the board, advancing along the mountains...

  Zhang Liao has been placed at the forefront, almost equal to the vanguard, doing the work of scouting and warning. Ma Yan and Xu Shu followed Feiqian's central army, while Xun Chen stayed in Sucheng. Although it is said that Xun Chen does not need to march, he is also very busy, gathering all kinds of follow-up materials, recruiting civilians, and arranging to go out one after another in order to establish a supply line behind Fei Qian's army until the end of Pinyang. Down.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun led a team of 200 soldiers and horses before Fei Qian set off, and set off quietly westward. After making a circle, under the guidance of the locals, he went to the millet millet. From the city to the mountain road of Pinyang.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and some places are even small trails, winding up from the foot of the mountain, and then spiraling down from the other side. It is difficult for people to walk, let alone gallop on horseback. So when encountering this kind of road section, Zhao Yun basically They are all leading the horses forward.

Beside Zhao Yun, a scarred face was holding a grass root that he didn't know where he pulled it from. While walking, he looked around: "Damn it! After climbing one mountain, it's another **** mountain! This It's not over yet..."

  Although the mountain is not high, the folded area of ​​nature is like an over-packed gift box of later generations, layer by layer, and no one knows when it will be the end.

  The scarred face is called half ear.

   No last name.

   No name either.

   Half Ear is just a nickname for him.

Originally he was called Dao Scar, but later he found out that there was a small commander in the Black Mountain Army who was also called Dao Scar, so he changed it to Zuo Er, because his scar was cut from his left cheek to his left ear. Half of the ear is missing, so it is called half ear...

Ban Er is now well-dressed at this time, wearing the standard war jacket of the Han army. For the convenience of movement, he did not wear armor, but trapped the battle armor into a bag and tied it to the horse's back, walking a little It was hot, and the collar of the battle jacket was torn a little, giving it a somewhat sloppy look.

   "Commander...I said, where are we going?" Zuo Er took a few steps forward, approached Zhao Yun, and muttered.

Zhao Yun didn't turn his head, but kept scanning the movement ahead. Hearing half-heard questions, he said: "...to the west, then to the south...by the way, don't call me commander anymore, now...we are soldiers of the great man ..."

"Ah? Oh, okay, Commander..." Ban Er was absent-minded, and said in a rambling manner, "...I don't know how the other old brothers are doing now... Sigh... I don't know when we will meet again...Old Yantou is still there You owe me 20 big money... What do you think the general is doing, isn't it good to be together..."

  Before Zhao Yun brought his people to Pingyang, only 20 tribes remained, and the rest were separated and sent to Yinshan. Zhao Yun naturally knew that there was no way to do this, but the few people left under Zhao Yun's subordinates did not understand why Fei Qian would do this. It turns out that in Montenegro, although there is a lack of food and clothing, but after all, we support each other and endure hardships, so we still have some concerns.

  Zhao Yun suddenly stopped and stopped. When Zhao Yun stopped, the soldiers behind him thought there was some change, so they all stopped and looked around...

   "Repair for a quarter of an hour!" Zhao Yun pointed to the low-lying place not far to the left, and said, "Where does the old black head take a few people, there is a mountain spring to get some! Come with me, Ban Er!"

   After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he walked to one side, reached the side of the mountain, and looked around.

   "Ban Er, do you think you are living better now, or when you were in Montenegro?" Zhao Yun suddenly said lightly.

  Ban Er was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Of course it is now... I have clothes, pancakes, and sometimes I can drink some broth and eat two bites of meat..."

  Zhao Yun nodded.

   It has been a while since I followed Fei Qian. Needless to say, among the big men, there are probably not many of them who are as concerned about the supplies of soldiers in the army as Fei Qian.

Although there is no guarantee of big fish and meat, but relying on the convenience of Hu people's trade, there is still some blood and flesh soup from time to time, and the soldiers are guaranteed as much as possible, so basically every soldier feels that they are on Feiqian's side Life is indeed pretty good.

"We are not bad here, and the brothers going to Yinshan are naturally not bad..." Zhao Yun turned his head and said half-eared, "...in the future...don't mention this matter again, it will be better for us and the brothers going to Yinshan of…"

  He thought about it for a while, but he still didn't understand why, but he didn't continue to argue, and nodded silently.

   Far away beside Baishui on the other side, Fei Qian was leading the soldiers and horses forward. In addition to the mountains on the right, this area basically has a lot of flat land and a lot of cultivated fields.

The banner of righteousness that Fei Qian had raised high before now had some effect. Several villages along the way, when they learned that the army was going south, quickly sent representatives to send some food and grass to the front of the army respectfully. It's not a lot, but at least it has a meaning, which makes Fei Qian's soldiers more and more high-spirited.

  The further south you go, the water flow is not as fast as it is in the Shangjun area of ​​Bingzhou. Some small rivers and streams meander out from the side mountains and merge into the river.

   Baishuigou is actually a place where a small river flows into Luoshui. Fei Qian's camp was temporarily set up here, and many cavalry led their horses to wash in the shallow water. The horse was kicking excitedly, shaking its neck from time to time, splashing water all over the place, looking like broken jade in the sun, which also provoked the laughter and scolding of the owner beside it...

  Passing through the Baishui River Ditch means officially entering the hinterland of Guanzhong!

  Here is Eight Hundred Li Qinchuan!

  Since ancient times, the weather here has been favorable, and because of the fertile land, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been a land of developed agriculture, and it has become the foundation of the great cause of the Qin State, making important contributions to Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries.

  Fei Qian led Ma Yan and Xu Shu on the high **** on one side of the camp, looking around.

  Here, Qin Shihuang wielded a long bronze sword, the overlord of Western Chu divided the territory of Sanqin, and Liu Bang dispatched Han Xin to lead the army to cover Chen Cang secretly. All these scenes seemed to flash before Fei Qian's eyes.

Guanzhong!

   This is also the place where Zhuge Jiangwei was haunted by dreams and dreams, and even died.

   Tens of thousands of people, even civilian husbands, and millions of people fought each other here, consuming the material and manpower of both the north and the south. In the end, when Jiang Wei was in the late period of the Three Kingdoms, it was almost empty...

After a series of **** battles, the Shu army retreated, and the Wei State also did not reap much benefit. When those figures who shone with unparalleled brilliance during the Three Kingdoms period aged one by one, the fierce generals of the Han family gradually became elites. It's all withered and a clean!

It is precisely because the population of the Han family in the areas of Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Xiliang, and Bingzhou has gradually become scarce, and the power of the Hu people has not been restrained, and it has gradually grown larger. Finally, because of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, Many poor families and even ordinary people can't see the way to go up, so they set off a new round of resistance...

Otherwise, those Wuhu guys who gnaw mutton and beef bones every day, and even have a problem with writing, how can they successfully build up one team after another in a short period of time, and some of them are still so many? Winning in peer competition?

   After all, the gentry have set an example before, haven’t they?

  The emperor of the Han family can be replaced, so why can't the emperor of the gentry be replaced?

   Is the change of dynasty a good thing or a bad thing for the land of China?

  Even if Fei Qian wants to understand some things beforehand, but at this moment, he doesn't know where he can go, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future, what kind of situation is waiting for him...

  Therefore, Fei Qian could only focus his attention on this small area in front of him, a piece of territory that he could more or less influence.

  And this piece of land, at this moment, is being closed!

   While Fei Qian and Ma Yan and Xu Shu were scouting the terrain and preparing to fight, Xun Chen was also very busy in Sucheng.

  From Diaoyin to Sucheng, from Sucheng to Baishuigou, and even to Pinyang, the battle line is getting longer and longer, and there are more and more things.

   To supply a large army, the complexity and fatigue are unimaginable without military affairs. Fei Qian's cavalry and infantry are in the front for a day, and they have to prepare money and food for a day in the back. After all, this place is different from the area near Pingyang that Fei Qian originally controlled, which has been repaired and leveled. The valley meanders down, among which there are many people who need to be deployed, hundreds of vehicles, storage and storage of various materials, and time control for transportation. Xun Chen alone supports all kinds of things.

  In Sucheng, it was almost a noisy scene. Food and horse materials were packed into bags and piled up high, waiting for the baggage truck to come back to load the truck, and besides there were various military equipment, which were also piled up like a mountain. The small officials in the army who counted supplies even carried a roll of wooden tablets every day, and also needed to hang a bag of pens, inks and knives, and counted and settled next to these materials.

Fei Qian handed over the front-line logistics to Xun Chen, and Xun Chen is a delicate person. Under his requirements, these materials need to have a way out, have vouchers, and have write-offs, which led to these problems. The petty officials who transported the materials were all trembling, for fear that something might go wrong, which would cause their buttocks and backs to be ripped apart, and the serious ones would even put their heads in danger...

Xun Chen has been staying in the side hall of the government office in Sucheng for the past few days. At the door of the side hall, there are people standing there either waiting for reports, or holding bamboo slips or wooden slips, waiting for Xun Chen to issue supplies Credentials of various personnel. Some have waited for a long time, but they can't take a break in the middle. They can only change the center of gravity of their feet from time to time, and move their stiff necks and bodies to restore some energy.

Xun Chen in the side hall, although he could sit, was actually not relaxed. He didn't know how many hours he had been in a daze during the past few days. It seemed that at any time, outside the hall There are always people standing, and there are always documents that need to be processed in their hands. Beside Xun Chen, a few help to process and sort out the documents, and the little officials who register the certificates are all eyes like rabbits...

   "Report!" A soldier came outside the side hall and reported, "The man who is locked in the prison wants to see you, and he said he has something important to report!"

"Who?" Xun Chen couldn't react for a while. After all, he was so busy these days that his head was a little dizzy even at this time. Isn't it Jia Xu Jia Wenhe who was captured by Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan two days ago?

  He asked to see?

   Anything else important?

  Xun Chen couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand, and frowned.

  What will happen? When Fei Qian left, he told himself to pay attention to this guy and not let him run away, and he was too busy to get away from watching all the time, and worried that other staff would be negligent, so he simply let him Someone built a pair of heavy shackles to buckle this guy...

  The key is of course in his pocket.

   So now, do you see it or not?
