Chapter 2034 Peace and joy, caught off guard


    After receiving the new news from the frontier, Fei Qian was somewhat helpless. Brother Cao was so worried about sending troops to Jingzhou that he even used the means of mixing among the refugees?


    Has Cao Cao ever used such a method in history?


    Fei Qian doesn’t remember much, but now I feel a little admirable. There are definitely not many soldiers of Cao Jun among the refugees, but it is easy to get through Hangu, but it is difficult to get through Tongguan.


    Because the riverbed near Hangu Pass has been exposed a little, or it can’t be called exposed, is it the accumulation of sediment? Anyway, there is not only one road to pass through Hangu Pass now, if someone secretly takes advantage of the night or under the cover of thick fog, and sneaks a small army to pass by the river, naturally it will not be blocked by Hangu''s defenders. Found.


    Basically, it can be judged that such a small batch of pawns who sneaked in secretly, the proportion of harassment is greater than that of attack, so the purpose is basically to contain...


    『Hedong! Pang Tong pointed to the map, "The key direction of Cao Jun is not Tongguan, but Hedong!" 』


    Fei Qian looked at the map and nodded.


    If Jingzhou is the gateway to the Central Plains, then the Hedong area is the link between Feiqian and the north and the south. Although there are other roads for Feiqian to go, the east line is undoubtedly the most stable and convenient, so once there is a problem in east, it will inevitably affect Pingyang, and even Shangdang and Huguan.


    As soon as Hedong moved, Cao Jun pretended to attack Huguan again. Compared with Jingzhou, the position of Shangdang was naturally more important to Feiqian''s basic situation, so Feiqian had to send troops to rescue, and then the Jingzhou area was high and the water was far away. It is to let Cao Cao do what he wants. These pawns are just like doing a four or two to pull a thousand catties.


    Just to be honest, this method of mixing among refugees is not very good...


    "It''s kind of like Dong Gongren''s technique..." Pang Tong pinched his fat chin, "It''s just the result. As for the means... Hehe, hehe... In addition to being used for war, it can also be used to drive Shanxi apart. If the lord vents his anger on the Yang family, it will inevitably attract soldiers. Lin Zhenxuan..."


    Yang is the mascot that Fei Qian hangs on the door. Show off in front of the Shandong gentry.


    Fei sneaked a glance at Pang Tong, can you see that?


    Pang Tong laughed twice and said: "At that time, the Yuan family used him as a military service and begged Gongsun at Jieqiao. However, Li, the prefect of Julu, thought that Gongsun was strong and wanted to belong to Gongsun." When the Yuan family heard about it, Dong led the giant deer. Before leaving, I asked, "I can''t say anything about it in the interim." When I arrived at the county, I made a false appeal to the county, and killed several people in the name of collaborating with the enemy. set. When the matter is over, Mrs. Yuan is praised, and Mrs. Yuan called it good..."


    『Haha...』 Fei Qian laughed loudly, 『It was originally called "good"? Haha, I''m afraid it''s a plot in my heart, so it''s good to get rid of it? 』It would be fine if someone else did this, but it was Yuan Shao who was facing him! How did Yuan Shao get those positions? Didn''t they all come here by forging the emperor''s order? As a result, Dong Zhao made a fake Yuan Shao''s order under Yuan Shao. Didn''t Yuan Shao set fire to Dong Zhao''s lamp? Of course Yuan Shao could say other than "goodness"?


    Pang Tong also laughed, and said: "Later, Yuan Shi wanted to punish him because he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy...Dong Gongren learned about it, so he fled south to Xuye..."


    『Yuan Benchu ??is also a wonderful person...』 Fei Qian shook his head and smiled. Didn''t Dong Zhao hypothesize that someone was collaborating with the enemy, and then Yuan Shao returned it to him, feeling rather unhappy about retribution.


    『So…』 Pang Tong smoothed out the wrinkles on his chin, “Is it just to return it to him in his own way? 』Pang Tong also knew a lot about Fei potential in the Shandong area, but he didn’t know exactly who and how many there were.


    『Hmmm…』 Fei Qian thought for a moment, then shook his head, 「No need…」Anzi, of course it should be used at the critical moment, is it already the most critical link? Obviously not yet, so there is no need to expose these dark spots. What''s more, Cao Cao''s intention was not to really fight, but to prevent Fei Qian from sending troops to Jingzhou, causing some sabotage to harass and delay.


    Of course, if it is just in case, in case Fei Qian’s brain twitches and he is at a loss, Cao Cao certainly doesn’t mind taking the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, after all, people have dreams and so on...


    『Let Ziyi be more vigilant and strictly guard Tongguan! Order Shuye to move to Anyi, keep an eye on Shanjin and Xiaopingjin! ”Fei Qian slid his finger on the map, “Liang Dao stays in Huguan! As long as these places are not in chaos, even if Heluo is in chaos, it will not be able to turn the sky! 』


    Pang Tong nodded and wrote it down, and then said: "Then these Cao Jun carefully made..."


    Fei Qian smiled, "How about handing it over to Dezu?" 』


    Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.


    Fei Qian also laughed, and the meeting hall was filled with laughter.


    Xu Chu, who was on duty outside the meeting hall, didn''t quite know what was laughing inside, but he couldn''t help being infected, and he put his hand on his pocket, showing some smiles.


    The surrounding guards couldn''t help but also smiled slightly.


    It must be that the lord and Pang Lingjun said something pleasant...


    It’s like children often observe their parents’ faces. If their parents live in harmony and smile every day, the children will naturally be happy. If their parents fight and quarrel every day and their faces are gloomy, the children will naturally feel a lot of pressure.


    For these guards, they may not understand why Fei Qian and Pang Tong are laughing, but it does not prevent them from feeling the peace and joy in their hearts.


    Xu Chu looked up at the sky, the sky was very blue. This feeling is very comfortable.


    At least compared to when I was in Yuzhou, I feel much more comfortable.


    There were some sounds of armor in the distance, Xu Chu turned his head slightly and saw that it was Weidu. Well, it''s time for a shift change.


    "Pang Lingjun is inside..." Xu Chu tilted his head slightly, "Anything else, it''s fine..."


    "become! ”Wei Du said he knew, then patted Xu Chu on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Let’s have dinner together after I get off the order!” I found out that there is a new shop for Haggis Soup in the city, and it tastes so good! 』


    Xu Chu nodded, "Okay, you invited me last time, this time it''s mine..." Xu Chu has also heard about Wei Du being saved by a lamb leg, but others may think that the sheep saved his life. So I don’t eat sheep anymore. When I arrived in Weidu, I felt that I lived because of eating sheep, so I wanted to eat sheep even more...


    It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.


    Wei Du frowned, "Did I invite you last time?" How do I remember that you invited Chengxi Baozi? 』


    "That was the last time..." Xu Chu patted Wei Du''s stomach, "I remember this, so you can eat it with confidence!" 』


    Wei Du chuckled twice, then nodded, and began to take over shifts with Xu Chu.


    The guards of the entire Hussar General''s Mansion are in charge of Huang Xu, Wei Du, and Xu Chu. They are on duty in three shifts. Of course, so are the guards. will be rotated.


    That''s fine. In other words, there are many things and rules here in Huqi, which are much better than what Xu Chu has heard before. There is no messy thing to do for the general, and there is no need to pull a curtain and wait for the general to tie his belt and so on. Here in the hussars, it is simple, clean and comfortable.


    The sky is blue and the wind is clear.


    …(*^__^*)…


    Happiness in this world is limited. When someone is happy, someone will naturally be unhappy.


    Yang Xiu was very unhappy.


    To get the Luoyang order at the beginning, it is undoubtedly like winning a big prize for Yang, who has been in an extremely depressing environment for a long time. Then, after the lottery, the numbers are all right, but Is this lottery ticket not owned by Yang Xiu, but by the cousin of the owner of the lottery station? I made a mistake, I sent the wrong picture...


    Heluo Hongnong does have land, and the quality of these fields is not bad, but the problem is that there are no people.


    When the Yang family started preparing to show their strengths in Luoyang, they suddenly realized that their biggest problem was people, those ordinary people who they didn''t care about before, and didn''t care at all.


    Without these people, even if there is plowing, there is no way to operate, and then there is no plowing, there will be no harvest of food and grass, and the more no one will stay here, the more no one will come...


    Well, strictly speaking, not all of them are without people. The main reason is that there are no young and old people. There are still some old and weak people, and there are many sick and disabled people. Most of the young and strong laborers were intercepted halfway before the refugees arrived in Heluo.


    It is difficult for the old and the weak to take care of themselves, so how can there be a way to restore a large number of barren fields for Yang''s farming? Investing in the recovery of these old, weak, sick and disabled people is almost a business with nothing to lose. Therefore, when dealing with these people, the Yang family mostly maintains an attitude of letting them fend for themselves.


    At the same time, Luoyang City is like a gold-swallowing beast, how many things and money it eats is like a bottomless pit, and it can''t be filled no matter what. The city needs to be cleaned up, repaired, money, manpower and supplies are needed, the outside of the city needs construction and development, and money, manpower and various supplies are also needed, and these things made Yang Xiu, who had a high self-esteem, also Had to bow my head...


    Damn it, how did Fei Qian do it in Pingyang?


    Why can''t Luo Yang do it now?


    Is there something wrong?


    Yang Xiu had a headache, but he couldn''t figure out where he didn''t do it well. Obviously I am doing and walking according to Fei Qian''s previous method... Why did Fei Qian have people at that time, but now that the capital of the majestic man is here, it can''t attract people to come? What went wrong?


    If there are young and strong people willing to come, the Yang family is also willing to rent out farm tools for farming cattle, and the rent collection rate is even more favorable than that of Guanzhong Beidi. If there are merchants who are willing to open the market, the Yang family is also willing to reduce various taxes. It can even provide free places outside Luoyang city...


    But every time he sees the empty Luoyang City and the barren surroundings of Heluo, Yang Xiu feels a cold air hovering from the soles of his feet, which won''t go away for a long time.


    In fact, if future generations understand this phenomenon a little bit, or even wander around, they will find that some areas have good business, but just one street away, they are so deserted that they can raise sparrows.


    How prosperous the great Han Luoyang was in the past, then Chang''an was in decline, but now that Chang''an is booming, Luoyang is naturally unlucky...


    Today, Chang''an under Fei Qian''s rule is like a whirlpool, constantly attracting everything around it, just like the metropolis of later generations, even if some people suffer from deep pain in it, it can''t stop many people One after another, they filled in it. Yang Xiu and the Yang family were all torn apart by the vortex, not to mention the others, how could they be willing to stay in Luoyang to develop and thrive?


    In the end, Yang Xiu could only be reduced to a transit station, earning some money for passing by.


    By the way, do some business of reselling military funds.


    After all, only by doing this, can the Yang family barely make up for the shortfall in Luoyang City...


    Yang Xiu is not stupid, he naturally knows that there will be problems sooner or later, but if he doesn''t do this now, he will have been abandoned by the Yang family before the problem finds him. If Yang Xiu wanted to secure the Luoyang order, it would not be possible without the support of the entire Yang family. But if Yang Xiu could only go out desperately but would not take it in, then why did the people in the Yang family support him? Yang Xiu?


    It''s like telling stories in the stock market in later generations, don''t you know that you have a problem? I know, but I still have to say it, and I have to work hard to do it well.


    If you can make money in a straight-forward manner, who wouldn''t like it?


    If it weren’t for the fact that the people here in Luoyang are old, weak, sick and disabled, who would like to do such high-risk things? Is farming bad? Isn''t Zhuang He fragrant?


    So, when Yang Xiu heard that a group of young and strong refugees appeared on his ground, his expression and mood were like winning 500 cans.


    Young and strong means the labor force, which means that one person can replace ten old, weak, sick and disabled, which means increased wealth and a bright future. Otherwise, why do countries in later generations attach great importance to the population curve? So when Yang Xiu received the news, he acted immediately and dispatched his soldiers to collect these legendary "young and strong" around...


    …(▽)/(▽)/(▽)/…


    Chaos broke out in the night.


    Fire, whistling, silhouette, rushing.


    In fact, no matter how Le Jin changes positions, it will not have much effect, because around Luoyang, there are only a dozen barren villages where refugees reside, and Le Jin and these people are all young and strong. Forget it, if you really look for it seriously, it will be as obvious as a dung beetle in a coal pile, uh, a firefly.


    Yang Xiu''s soldiers came to arrest him, so it was naturally impossible for Le Jin and the others to catch him without a fight.


    When the first ray of knife light shines, blood inevitably flows...


    Le Jin originally brought two sabers, but now there is only one left. His left hand was bleeding, and he was trembling slightly while running.


    Le Jin himself doesn''t know how long he has been running away, the sky is still dark, if there is a place with a better view, he can still see the flames in the distance, and hear the faint noise. It is also at such a time that he can Think back to the previous battle a little bit.


    As a general with two skills, Le Jin still has no major problems in dealing with ordinary soldiers, but the basis for this is that Le Jin has complete weapons and equipment.


    Even as brave as Lu Bu, without the weapons and equipment at hand, he could only be captured alive. Maybe there was part of the reason why he was injured by drunkenness at the time, but equipment is indeed very important, especially armor. Whether there is armor or not is almost the difference between heaven and earth for a general.


    If he had armor, Le Jin would not be injured at all, and he could even fight back, but now, no matter whether it is a stick or a knife, in the dark night, under the chaos of the fire, it is impossible to say that it is completely immune, especially the torch...


    The knives, guns and sticks can also be blocked with the sword in hand, but the burning flames, without the protection of the armor, quickly ignited the thin clothes and messy hair, forming moderate burns. And the burns on the back, although not very serious, but after the burns, the friction and rupture of the blisters formed a continuous tingling pain on the skin, even more irritating to the nerves than the knife wound on the left hand.


    In this sudden battle, Le Jin was actually doomed to suffer from the very beginning. The opponent came in formation and had armor on his body, but Le Jin was not only scattered, but also had no time to wear armor at all. Just took the weapon and resisted in a hurry.


    The two sides engaged in the most intense fight in an instant. Although Yang Xiu''s soldiers may not be as brave as Le Jin''s men, the equipment and formation made up for the gap.


    Le Jin just observed the situation for a while, and knew that something was wrong, and he called to break out and escape. However, when Yang Xiu''s soldiers surrounded him, Le Jin and others fell into a hard fight. Some of Le Jin''s men didn''t immediately To be able to react, soak the hemp rope, weave it into a net, throw it over, cover your face, get caught in the net if you are not careful, and then be **** like a pig and sheep, this is a shame for a general...


    Before this, Le Jin never thought that such a thing might happen. Le Jin couldn''t adapt to the drastic and rapid changes in the situation.


    According to the original plan, when Le Jin received new instructions, he would pretend to be a refugee and approach the pass, equipped with fine armor under his tattered clothes, and then caught the opponent by surprise, but he did not expect to be beaten now The one who was caught off guard was himself.


    Damn it, if I knew that when the Hussar scouts came, I should have been more cautious, and I should have even retreated directly! If I could realize this a little earlier, maybe everything would be much better.


    However, the most missing thing in the world is "knowing earlier".


    In the flashing fire in the distance, everyone seemed to be divided. Le Jin could see some figures being thrown down, and some fighting in the fire, and then fell down, roaring like trapped animals, in the dark night Faintly came...


    Beside Le Jin, there were only a few dozen or so subordinates left, and many of them, like Le Jin, were somewhat injured.


    Le Jin sighed, the hope and lofty goal he had longed for had been completely lost in this dark night...
