Chapter 901: There is a long way to go (2)
Pingyang City is like a huge magnet, attracting waves of people from the surrounding area.
??On the top of Pingyang City, two huge cloth flags were hung, with the words "A gentleman should be ambitious" and "Unworthy of heaven and earth" written on them, attracting the attention of everyone coming and going.
??Around the school grounds outside Pingyang City, a simple high altar has been built with horizontal beams and wooden boards, with flags in five colors and five colors fluttering in the wind.
In the curtain under the high altar, Pang Shu, as the representative of the emperor, sat in the middle, silently closing his eyes, as if he was wandering in the sky.
Yang Biao and Fei Qian sat on the left and right at the top of the left and right sides, and below them, Huangfu Song and Wang Yi took the second seat, with Chang Lin and Chen Rui at the end. There was still an empty seat, which was reserved for Cui Jun, the governor of Xihe County, but yesterday, someone from Xihe sent a message saying that Cui Jun could not come because he was ill...
??Many people know whether he is really sick at this juncture, but this also shows Cui Jun''s attitude, but this attitude has some subtle changes in the eyes of both parties.
In the middle of the huge curtain is a huge map, which roughly marks the direction and shape of some mountains, rivers, and rivers. Simple boxes are used to indicate towns. The solid and dotted lines indicate official roads. Or mountain roads, etc. Although it is still very crude in Fei Qian''s eyes, at the moment, it is also a very difficult map.
??Everyone''s eyes are focused on the Chang''an City area on the map at this moment, and everyone''s expressions are a little different.
Since Yang Biao could not find any reason to stop Fei Qian from raising his troops, he had to join in. Otherwise, after Fei Qian became the leading figure in this operation and controlled the entire army, he would be unable to do anything.
Suddenly encountering a person like Fei Qian who acted unconventionally, Yang Biao''s face looked normal, but there was some anger in his eyes, while Huangfu Song lowered his eyelids and his cheeks looked a little gray.
??Wang Yi didn''t even look at other people. Instead, he held his beard and stared at the map, wondering what he was thinking about...
Chang Lin and Chen Rui also came here because they belonged to the nearest county magistrate and were also the main local officials under Fei Qian''s jurisdiction, but their expressions were also different. Chang Lin''s face was calm, his eyes were lowered, as motionless as a wooden sculpture, only looking at the one-third of an acre of land under his feet; while Chen Rui had an inexplicable smile, quickly glanced left and right, and then His eyes were fixed on the Chang''an logo on the map.
Within the curtain, it was as quiet as if there was no one around. No one spoke. If not everyone was breathing and moving, one would even think that this place was a group of statues.
Outside the curtain, the armors worn by Fei Qian, Yang Biao and the other personal guards made a gentle sound of gold and iron clashing from time to time. Against the background of the roaring flags and banners, they seemed to be beating on the ground. In everyone''s heart.
?This weird atmosphere continues to spread, and it seems that the invisible force above the curtain is increasing every minute and every second, constantly pressing down, until it crushes people...
Yang Biao closed his eyes slightly, and couldn''t help but sigh slightly in his heart. He Luofei''s family is so virtuous and capable, but now such a character has emerged. Look at how calm he is now, among the dignitaries, with every move. Involving the world! Thinking back when he was in Luoyang, how could Fei Qian ever take him seriously? Who in the world knows that there is such a number one person? The way of heaven is abnormal and monsters are everywhere. This Fei Qian is like a monster, growing wantonly, and now some of his tails are too big to fall off...
?However, Fei Qian is still a little younger after all. Is it so easy to be Qing Junzi? Isn’t it still necessary to use everyone’s name to be safe?
Just as Yang Biao thought, Fei Qian is indeed on the side of righteousness now, but if things like this happen to Qing Junzhi, they may be criticized as a treasonous act, so it is natural to smear the public opinion. In the end, the transition of personal meaning into the will of the public is simply the endorsement of other senior officials and other senior officials. If there is a sexual incident, the authorities need to handle it carefully.
??Yang Biao coughed slightly, broke the silence in the curtain, and said: "The emperor''s envoy is here, and we are meeting here to make an alliance, just like worshiping before the emperor..." Yang Biao''s words undoubtedly set a big tone first.
“It should be so!” Everyone bowed their hands to Pang Shu and bowed.
After the ceremony, Huangfu Song continued to speak: "Feihou is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness. He deserves to be the first to gather this heroic alliance!"
Fei Qian smiled and saluted Huangfu Song with cupped fists: "Thank you, General Huangfu..."
Hearing this, Pang Shu, who was sitting in the middle, could not help shaking his lowered eyebrows, but immediately became motionless again.
??Fei Qian didn''t notice Pang Shu''s actions. Anyway, they were about to break up with each other later, so there was no need to argue with the tone now. As for the subtext of Huangfu Song''s short words, it was not that Fei Qian didn''t hear it, but he was too lazy to care about it now...
?However, Fei Qian''s easy answer made everyone in the curtain feel a little surprised. Because this was not a simple compliment, could Fei Qian not hear it?
It shouldn’t be the case, right?
?So what is Fei Qian planning?
For a time, everyone''s thoughts couldn''t help but fluctuate...
Huangfusong praised Fei Qian. Seeing Fei Qian''s response, he was slightly startled. He immediately stood up, walked around a few cases, and walked to the map, which immediately attracted everyone''s attention.
After all, Huangfu Song has been a veteran of the Han Dynasty for many years and has been in the army for many years. Although he is a little older now and his gray hair seems to be stained with autumn frost, his body is still upright and his triangular eyes are shining!
Huangfusong looked around, made eye contact with Yang Biao, then took a deep look at Fei Qian, and then gestured on the map with his hand. His face was indescribably serious, and with the demeanor of having led the army for many years, he actually He had a bit of the murderous spirit of a commander in chief of an army. I saw Huangfu Song loudly saying: "The reason why you are raising the army now is not because of greed for wealth and honor, but because of the loyalty of all the monarchs and ministers. Therefore, you are not allowed to plunder, increase labor, destroy mulberry and other things that harm the people! Do you think this is true?"
Does this mean that everyone is limited to the soldiers they have on hand? Then we won’t be able to show off military rations in various places?
"This is exactly the reason..." Wang Yi nodded and took the lead to agree. No matter what, if the army attacks Chang''an, it is likely to pass through Hedong. Generally speaking, Hedong will inevitably be required to provide various supplies. For things like grain and grass, although Huangfu Song''s grandiose proposal had ulterior motives, it was beneficial to Hedong, and Wang Yi was of course the first to agree.
Everyone’s attention quickly focused on Fei Qian…
