Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 965 Drinks under the Yin Mountain

   Even if it cannot be said that geographical location determines everything, geographical location is extremely important to a person, a nation, and a country.

  The Yinshan Mountains towering in the northern part of Hetao, stretching from east to west, like a barrier, is not only an important natural geographical dividing line, a natural dividing line in terms of agricultural and animal husbandry economic forms, but also a manifestation of the strength of the Xiongnu in history.

  Under the Yin Mountain, outside Yu Fuluo's big tent.

  Yu Fuluo looked at the jugs of wine on the whole cart on the side in front of the big tent, and showed an inexplicable smile.

  People, you can’t be idle. When you are free, you will think about it. When you think about it, something will happen. Therefore, through the ages, the unemployment rate is basically an important indicator for those who are in power...

People who work hard and are constantly busy with warm clothes for three meals a day. The rewards they earn from their work can only support the needs of the family. good heart. People like this naturally need to be cared for and taken care of repeatedly to ensure that such people can continue in a long-term and stable manner, so as to maintain the stability and healthy development of the entire society.

  It's a pity that there is a small group of people who just like to find something to do when they have nothing to do...

"Hahaha, Shanyu is in a good mood today!" Zhang Ji laughed, and got a hundred steps away, flew off his horse, and then called Yu Fuluo's guards to come forward, "I heard that Shanyu has good wine here, coincidentally Yes! I just hunted a deer, and I just brought it to drink!"

  Yu Fuluo also laughed, greeted Zhang Ji, and said, "Not bad, not bad! Come! Please!"

  Yu Fuluo’s campaign to collect the remaining Xianbei in the entire Yinshan area is basically over. Except for some Xianbei people who fled from the western foot of the Yinshan Mountain to the Western Regions, most of the rest of the Yinshan Xianbei are basically eliminated.

   According to the previous agreement with Fei Qian, some of the livestock and population were sent to Pingyang, and some were kept as Yufulo's spoils. Therefore, during this period of time, whether it is Yu Fuluo or Yu Fuluo's clansmen, they are in a pretty good mood.

  With more cattle and sheep, there are plundered Xianbei women, and by this winter and early next year, a large number of Xiongnu cubs will be born, which means that the number of tribesmen will also increase steadily...

   It's just that compared with the growth rate of the Han people in the Yinshan area of ​​the Northland, the little growth of the Yufuluo people is not enough.

   During this period of time, in Yinshan, in addition to some management craftsmen and ordinary farmers who originally migrated from Pingyang, there were also a large influx of refugees from Guanzhong, and even some people who came from Montenegro via Luliang Mountain.

The Yinshan area is large enough, and it happens to be the corner area of ​​the big river. The water flow is gentle and the land is fertile. As long as these original farmers are willing to work hard, they basically don’t need to deliberately choose. Most of the areas have been changed to be suitable for farming. Fertile land.

Of course, even with such an influx of people, it is still not enough to fill the entire Yinshan area. Therefore, basically, Yu Fuluo and other Hu people are grazing on the west side of Yinshan Mountain, and the people led by Xu Huang, Mayan, and Zhang Ji The Han people cultivated around the Manyi Valley.

Because the land is still enough, there is no direct conflict of interest between them, and there is even a little bit of complementarity and cooperation at certain times. Between them, the relationship is not bad.

Zhang Ji and Ma Yue took turns to take the soldiers to the grassland to train soldiers. Do you want to train cavalry? One trains soldiers and the other trains horses. Even if a horse in a stable can run and be strong, it may not be able to become a horse. A good war horse.

   During this time, it was Zhang Ji's turn.

Yu Fuluo stretched out his hands to welcome Zhang Ji, and when Zhang Ji came close and the two of them were ready to enter the big tent together, Yu Fuluo said casually: "Aha, Captain Zhang, by the way, come on!" Two days ago, someone gave me some good wine, said to be brewed with mountain springs and several kinds of chestnut barley... I don’t understand it either, but I just think it’s amazing. I heard that Captain Zhang also knows wine, so, Also help me to invite a tasting..."

  Yu Fuluo seemed to be talking casually, but Zhang Ji didn't pay attention at first, and after he opened his mouth to answer casually, he realized something, and turned his head to look carefully at the baggage truck parked beside the big tent.

The baggage car is old, and the wood is covered with traces of wind, rain and dust, making the original color unclear. There are one or two nails that are loose or broken, causing the boards to be a little skewed, no matter how you look at it. It was an extremely ordinary and extremely old baggage cart. If Yu Fuluo hadn't mentioned it specifically, no one would have taken a special look at it.

The baggage car was full of wine jars, at least a dozen or twenty jars. The wine jars were wrapped with hemp ropes in circles, and some hay was placed between them, but there was no writing on the wine jars. what mark...

  Before Zhang Ji took a closer look, Yu Fuluo asked the guards to open the curtain of the big tent, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang...Captain Zhang, please!"

   "Oh... oh, good, good..." Zhang Ji came back to his senses, looked at Yu Fuluo who didn't change his smile, was slightly stunned, and then realized, nodded and entered the tent with Yu Fuluo...

  ******************

   "...that's probably how it goes..."

  Zhang Ji had doubts in his heart, so Yu Fuluo didn't drink much, so he rushed back to Manyi Valley with his men, met Xu Huang, and told him about this matter.

  Xu Huang is now mainly responsible for the infantry of Yinshan Mountain and the construction of the permanent fortress of Manyi Valley. Compared with Ma Yue and Zhang Ji who were in charge of guarding the periphery and training cavalry, Xu Huang's work was more cumbersome and meticulous, not easy.

A permanent fortress needs a variety of materials. There are large and small square logs, columns, pointed logs, boards, wedges, rafters, etc., plus other materials, and these materials are in stock and in transit. The situation, usage speed, etc., became the data that Xu Huang had to measure and count every day.

Although the specific artisans in charge of the affairs do not need Xu Huang's instructions and arrangements for operations, Xu Huang also needs to send people to conduct inspections and spot checks, and pay attention to every link. He must ensure smooth operation at all times, so as not to appear The situation that people wait for materials, or materials wait for people appears.

Such cumbersome and complicated things can quite temper a person's mind and overall planning ability. In the current Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as a project schedule, let alone any interrelated tables on the computer to assist in statistics. Things are just recorded one by one on wooden tablets or bamboo slips like a running account, but Xu Huang, as the administrator, must build the entire operation mode in his heart and form a complete set of execution plans in order to have a smooth flow Arrange craftsmen and slaves to do the construction work.

   Therefore, Xu Huang has lost a lot of weight these days.

   "..." Xu Huang frowned, and a thin word Sichuan was formed between his eyebrows.

  Xu Huang does not think that Yu Fuluo is someone who is looking for trouble, nor is he a guy who is aimless, so the main meaning of calling Zhang Ji to drink must not be simply to drink two bowls of wine...

  After pondering for a while, Xu Huang said: "I don't know Captain Zhang, but where did you get the wine from?"

  Zhang Ji smashed it, rolled his eyeballs upwards, recalled it for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "Drinking is drinking, but... as for the... this... I can't say..."

  Xu Huang nodded, and said: "Then it should not be wine from Guanzhong or Kansai... Captain Zhang should have drunk all the good wines from these two places, right?"

  Zhang Ji nodded, shook his head again, and said: "I have drunk a lot, but if I say I have drunk it all, I dare not guarantee it..."

"Old baggage cart... mountain spring, several kinds of chestnut wheat..." Xu Huang stroked his beard and pondered, "Yu Fuluo's behavior is to tell us that someone has gone to him. As for who, Yu Fuluo doesn't want to say anything, or thinks it's hard to say... Who will give it? What do you want to do by giving wine to Yu Fuluo?"

There will be convoys of supplies going to and from Pingyang, or Yong’an, or even Xihe and other places every now and then. Among these convoys, there will be one more or one less truck, or a car will be turned somewhere on the way. This kind of era without surveillance equipment is something that cannot be retrospectively searched...

  Zhang Ji scratched his head, speechless.

  At this moment, Ma Yue came in from the outside. Before he arrived, he laughed and said loudly: "Haha... Junhou killed the Guo thief in Chiyang, and after defeating Chang'an, he was named General Zhengxi!"

  In the hall, Xu Huang and Zhang Ji stood up almost at the same time with a huff, and went out to greet them, only to see Ma Yue striding over with a newly arrived residence newspaper in his hand.

   "Quick! Quick!" Ma Yue smiled, obviously because of Fei Qian's record and pride in this trip, "The Xiliang thief will die soon... Uh, Captain Zhang...some..."

   Ma Yueguang wanted to have a good time, and he realized that Zhang Ji was also from Xiliang.

  Zhang Ji smiled wryly, waved his hands and said, "There is no need for Captain Ma, alas... Li Guo and the others are deeply ashamed..."

  Xu Huang saw this and said: "Lieutenant Zhang is now guarding the Yinshan Mountain, and he has contributed to the country, so don't worry about it... The king is granted the title of conquering the west. This is the grace of the emperor, and we are lucky!"

General Zhengxi, the titled general of Zheng'er Bajing, ranks below the three princes, is almost on the same level as Jiuqing, and opens his own mansion. Under the jurisdiction of the mansion are Chang Shi and Sima each. There are 29 subordinates and 31 subordinates of Ling Shiyu. In addition, you can use your own number to directly lead the army, and you can also appoint tributaries, school lieutenants, etc. by yourself.

In this way, Xu Huang and others can basically be upgraded to a higher level, from the so-called local county captains to real army captains, which means that they are not only You can have the right to command more soldiers, and more importantly, you can expand the number of your own personal guards...

  A lieutenant under a real and well-known general is better than ordinary generals, which is why. Therefore, although Xu Huang and others may not have any intentions of seizing power, who doesn't like it if they can make their own power stronger?

   Ma Yue laughed out loud, indescribably happy. In fact, Ma Yue not only won the title of General Zhengxi because of Fei Qian, but more importantly, this time Fei Qian went south to the Guanzhong, and his father Ma Yan followed him. Since Fei Qian won the award, his father Ma Yan naturally had more To some extent, I will also get some credit, so that there will be no embarrassing situation where my current rank is slightly higher than that of my father Ma Yan...

   "It's such a happy event, it should be revealed!" Ma Yue suggested.

  Xu Huang nodded, and ordered the guards on the side to fetch drinks. The three of them each poured a bowl, and then held it up high.

  Placing down the wine bowl, Xu Huang remembered what Zhang Ji said about the wine at Yufulo just now, and told Ma Yue again.

   Ma Yue also felt a bit of a headache after listening to it, and said: "This guy, he doesn't speak out when he has something to say... How about sending someone to ask, who sent it?"

  Xu Huang shook his head, and said slowly: "Yu Fuluo is not a subordinate of us. This matter... is mostly for the sake of the prince, so he will inform us. As for the others..."

Xu Huang didn't complete his words. In fact, this time it can also be regarded as Yu Fuluo's test, not a test of Fei Qian, but a test of the abilities of Xu Huang and the other three. After all, there are Han people on the Yinshan side. There are also Hu people, although they get along pretty well now, but after all, there should be a high and low level, or which side should be the dominant one.

Of course, Feiqian is here, so everything is fine, but the problem is that Feiqian can't be here all the time, so he needs to show a little bit of ability, otherwise he will be defeated by Fu Luo, and when something really happens, he will compare passive...

   Ma Yue didn't refute what Xu Huang said.

During this period of time, Ma Yue and Zhang Ji have seen Xu Huang's dedication and hard work in dealing with various affairs, and also understand why Fei Qian entrusted Xu Huang to take charge of this Yinshan base camp, because there are some things that Ma Yue and Zhang Ji really do. Not coming…

   "The two leaders are on guard outside, but did they find anything unusual?" Xu Huang asked.

  Xu Huang is mostly stationed near the camp to handle affairs, so Ma Yan and Zhang Ji are usually patrolling outside.

Ma Yue shook his head left and right, and said: "Unusual? Hmm... A certain person suddenly remembered something... A few days ago, there were many fights in the camp outside the village, and they were all whipped on the spot... The rest, it seems It's nothing serious..."

   "This... fights and fights count?" Zhang Ji looked at Ma Yue, then at Xu Huang.

In Zhang Ji's point of view, quarreling and fighting with each other is nothing at all. In Xiliang, ordinary people talk to each other with their necks stretched. If there is less than one place, the size of the fist will be divided. Isn't this normal, so Zhang Ji has never taken this kind of thing seriously.

  Hearing what Zhang Ji said, Xu Huang couldn't help but frowned again, and a haze suddenly flashed in his heart...
