Chapter 1126 Chaos


    Guanzhong is far away, and Jia Xu only needs 500 cavalry. Relatively speaking, the things he needs to carry are naturally less. Therefore, after giving the military order, it did not take much time to get ready.


    ?Looking at Jia Xu leading the team away, Fei Qian scratched the back of his head.


    ??Nowadays, people have long hair. If in later generations, they would more or less look like a literary young man with long flowing hair. But the problem is that there was no shampoo in the Han Dynasty...


    Even soap is not available yet.


    ?If you want to wash your hair, most people usually use plant ash, better to use acacia, and more extravagantly to use rice water. As for bath beans, soap and other things, there is no such thing.


    ??Fei Qian wanted to invent some soap, but when the people in Huang''s workshop heard that grease was used to produce bathing gadgets, their eyes looked a bit wrong...


    ?Later, Fei Qian had no choice but to give up.


    This is indeed the case. In an era where people would be criticized to death for using too many candles, and in an era when most people may not be able to eat a few mouthfuls of fat all year round, it is time to get ahead of the curve and produce these daily necessities that require a lot of fat. , is it really a suitable thing?


    So, let’s talk about it.


    ??However, the result is that if it is inconvenient to take a shower and wash your hair, the oil secreted by the scalp will be combined with dust, and long hair can easily store these dirt, and then it will become extremely easy to become a paradise for all kinds of small animals and bugs...


    In later generations, some people often envied the literary styles of the Han and Wei dynasties. They felt that a nobleman wore a wide robe with long sleeves and long flowing hair, and then there was a little Loli maid behind him with lush green fingers, holding a wooden comb to comb his hair. , is a romantic and elegant thing.


    But these people definitely didn''t look at the wooden comb, nor the small wooden barrel behind the little Loli, let alone the layer of scalp ash floating in the small wooden barrel, or even the lice and lice floating in the water. flea…


    Distance creates beauty. If it were like Fei Qian''s case, nothing would be beautiful.


    Fei Qian secretly used his thumbnail to pop out the dirt from the gaps between the nails of his other fingers, and asked Pang Tong beside him: "You said that Wenhe, with only five hundred cavalry, can solve the chaos in Guanzhong?" ?”


    Pang Tong looked around and saw that no one was nearby. He glanced sideways at Fei Qian and said, "Brother, have you been eating too much meat recently? It''s not good to eat too much meat. You''d better eat more millet and corn." Bar…"


    After Pang Tong finished speaking, he turned around and left.


    "Hmm...huh?" Fei Qian suddenly reacted, grabbed Pang Tong, then put his arm on Pang Tong''s shoulder, and said with a smile, "Oh? Are you saying that a certain carnivore is despicable? So my junior brother will never be like this again. You don’t want to eat meat anymore? That’s fine, I’ll tell you to eat grains from now on, and don’t eat anything else..."


    Pang Tong struggled a few times, but couldn''t get away. He said angrily: "Let go, how can you humiliate me like this! Also, eating meat is to grow your brain, not just your strength!"


    Fei Qian let go of his hand with disdain and said: "With your small body, you still have the nerve to call me a carnivore... Look at Yuan Zhi, he can probably hit you three times! Go to Zuo Fengyi, and talk to him if you need anything. Yuan Zhi, please discuss carefully and don’t take risks recklessly... By the way, you haven’t said what you are going to do yet..."


    Pang Tong ran away and said: "Jia Wenhe will do whatever he plans to do..."


    "Huh?" Fei Qian couldn''t help but scratched his head again, tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head, muttered something, turned around and climbed down the city wall.


    It''s about to get out of Yin Mountain again, Zhao Yun is almost here, and there are more things to prepare ...


    ??What if Jia Xu and Pang Tong failed to achieve their strategic goals?


    ?Looking back, our basic market position is still in the north anyway, so there is not much loss. The Yinshan Mountains are different. As an important region for producing grain and horses in the future, there is absolutely no room for error!


    In order to prepare for possible epidemics, you need to bring a large amount of lime. Fortunately, whether it is lime, sulfur, or even pea pod plant ash, etc., items used for bathing and isolating bacterial infections are available on Luliang Mountain. Huang''s Workshop There are a lot of them in the warehouse, so it’s pretty ok.


    However, the problem Fei Qian said he had to face was not just this problem. He needed to know whether the Xianbei people of the Yunzhong generation in Yanmen Changshan Mountain would interact or even cooperate with the Mobei Xianbei when they went south this time. , crucial.


    ???If you lead your people north to the Yin Mountains, but the Xianbei King Bu Dugen in the Changshan area of ??Yanmen sends troops to raid his Pingyang home and plunder the surrounding areas, you will lose more than just money.


    ??Both the population accumulated in the past two to three years and the reputation established among the Qiang and Hu will suffer the heaviest blow.


    So, how to fight here in Yinshan is still a very delicate, critical, and troublesome problem...


    ……………


    ?Although Fei Qian believed that Chang''an should be secured if it could be secured, and withdraw if it could not be secured, Jia Xu did not think so.


    Really go back?


    ?Then do you still want this face?


    ??Although Jia Xu himself does not attach much importance to face, after all, this face is related to how he can eat beef under General Zhengxi, so he cannot ignore it.


    After all, without beef to eat, can we still call a complete and happy life?


    ??Oh my God, these **** Xiliang monkeys!


    Jia Xu cursed in his heart with an expressionless face. He was a little impatient and completely forgot that he was actually from Xiliang...


    “Jia Zheng, what should we do next?” asked the cavalry commander in charge of leading the team.


    "Find a place to camp first," Jia Xu said calmly, as if all the news just now was expected by him. The speed and tone of his speech did not change at all from before, "Let everyone rest first." ...Well, pay attention to concealment..."


    "Wei!" Seeing Jia Xu''s calmness, the cavalry commander felt at ease, so he cupped his hands and took the order.


    ??If we say that among the contemporary outstanding figures, Jia Xu can at least be ranked among the top few when it comes to major events. The benefit of this was something he experienced personally when he was young.


    ???If Jia Xu hadn''t been able to declare that he was a relative of the Taiwei without changing his face or heart, he might have died at the hands of bandits long ago.


    ??If Jia Xu hadn''t been able to shout out at the critical moment that he had a plan to offer to Fei Qian, he might have become a dead soul under Zhang Liao''s gun.


    ?However, the current situation is still very difficult.


    Jia Xu is not omnipotent. He did not expect that Xia Mou, who had withdrawn from Guanzhong, would collude with Han Sui!


    So what Jia Xu needs to face this time is not only the pitifully few and poorly trained Guanzhong cavalry in Guanzhong, but also the Xiliang frontier troops who are accustomed to fighting on horseback, and a large number of people who have been on horseback since birth. Those Qiang people rolling on their backs!


    Five hundred riders.


    ??It was enough to destroy the grain road originally used to attack Xia Mou.


    Jia Xu was already familiar with the terrain in Guanzhong, and he also knew that there were only one or two routes for transporting grain and grass. Therefore, as long as one or two attacks on Xia Mou''s grain routes were carried out, the morale of Xia Mou''s army would be greatly damaged. , there will naturally be a chance to reverse the situation.


    Speaking of the original Guanzhong land, these nobles would naturally not wait foolishly for the refugees to come and cause harm one by one. Those who were before could be said to be unable to react, but now, I am afraid they have gathered near Chang''an...


    ??These nobles want to flee???????Unlikely.


    After all, if you want to escape, Dong Zhuo or Li Guo have already escaped before, but now, they are even more reluctant to escape. After all, if you escape now, doesn''t it mean that all your previous efforts have been in vain? It would be better to escape early and at least get the title of foresight.


    So these nobles near Chang''an will naturally fight for their own survival!


    Xia Mou''s use of the power of the refugees was indeed good and effective in terms of tactics, but after all, Xia Mou was a military attaché who preferred the military and was not very clear about the relationship.


    Encouraging the use of refugees to attack Wubao, a powerful and powerful gentry, is already breaking the rules.


    No matter who it is, no matter which ruler it is, they will not like people who are good at instigating the people at the bottom. For such people, the rulers have only one approach.


    All the nobles also disliked it.


    ?Then the refugees who were taken advantage of, after experiencing pain and failure and waking up from their arrogance, naturally didn''t like it.


    Xia Mou''s approach seemed to be a gain at first glance, but in fact he ruined his entire future.


    So, Jia Xu was originally very confident.


    However, all these calculations and plans need to be done without the intervention of the Xiliang soldiers!


    Originally, the Chang''an area in Guanzhong was just a small disadvantage. After adding Han Sui and other Xiliang soldiers, the situation became a big disadvantage. And with the five hundred cavalry of my own, targeting the small disadvantages, I could naturally leverage the situation easily, and Nowadays, the difference in power is too big, and the role that can be played is limited...


    Just like a wooden stick, it may be able to pry up the big rocks blocking the road, but it will definitely not be able to pry up a mountain. The difference in strength is so great that the difficulty increases not even a little bit. This catches Jia Xu off guard and makes him very embarrassed. .


    ?Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have...


    Um?


    There seems to be an opportunity, yes, it should be an opportunity.


    Jia Xu stroked his goatee and narrowed his slender eyes...


    ……………


    Pang Tongcai ignored Fei Qian''s words. For him, when Jia Xu only wanted cavalry instead of infantry, he guessed that Jia Xu would cut off Xia Mou''s grain road.


    ?Soldiers of Spring!


    Refugees can eat leaves, chew bark, and even eat whatever they have, no matter what, but what about soldiers?


    Also chew the bark of trees and eat grass roots?


    It’s not like we send out troops during the autumn harvest, so we can just feed the enemy.


    Hence, the troops must be expensive and need to be dispatched from the rear. And this food transportation channel has become the weakest point of these armies.


    With Xu Shu at Zuo Fengyi, Tongguan has a way out. Anyway, Tongguan will definitely not be captured in a while. Therefore, when Jia Xu went to cut off Xia Mou''s grain route, he went to cut off Yang Biao''s grain route. .


    As required to transfer grain and grass from the rear, one can do one, two, but not three.


    ?Of course no one has done this, and there are even many famous generals who asked the rear not only three, but four, five or six times to **** grain and fodder up...


    But the problem is that even if these famous generals win the battle, they lose their lives.


    What''s more, most of the generals who did this became the stepping stones for these famous generals, without even leaving their names.


    Is Hongnong’s grain and grass large enough to be transported over and over again?


    Since we want to attack the grain road, we definitely can''t go from Diaoyin to Zuofengyi. After all, Tongguan is blocked and neither side can go, so we can only go to Hedong...


    ?It’s just that Pang Tong himself didn’t expect that he would also encounter difficulties after arriving in Shaanxi and Jin.


    ?In Binbei Pingyang, due to the late spring cold, part of the Fen River is still frozen. If the river bank is shallow and flat, you can even walk from one end of the river bank to the other without detours.


    However, in Shaanxi and Jin, the geographical location is further south than Binbei and Pingyang, and the river water contains more sand, gravel, debris, etc. than the Fen River, and the water volume is also larger, so the ice has long been opened. Layer, running endlessly...


    Pang Tong looked at the bits of ice floating up and down in the river and remained silent.


    Damn it, why is the lockdown lifted now?


    Why can’t it be frozen for two more days?


    What should we do?


    ??Pang Tong brought 500 cavalry, plus Zhang Liao''s 1,200 infantry and 800 cavalry in Shaanjin. Although not much, it became a huge problem to quickly cross the river in a short time.


    ?There was originally a pontoon bridge above the river, but after it was burned down, it was never rebuilt, leaving only a few iron cables dangling over the river.


    Rebuild the pontoon bridge?


    ?How long will it take?


    By the time the pontoon bridge is built, I am afraid that the soldiers on the opposite side who stayed behind for detection will have reported all the information to Luoyang and Tongguan. What hidden advantages do I have?


    ??If you use a boat to cross, firstly, you will not be able to find so many boats in a short time, and secondly, the speed will not be fast...


    Pang Tong stood on the rocks at the Shaanxi-Jin ferry crossing. The cold wind coming from the river blew his robes and turban up and down, making them flutter, which was a bit elegant.


    A talented man in green clothes, enjoying the wind by the river.


    ??If we talk about elegance, this is the case.


    “Ah owe!”


    ? Pang Tong, who was standing on the rock while feeling the cold wind, sneezed loudly soon after and quickly climbed down and hid in a sheltered place from the wind.


    ?Although Pang Tong is not closely related to the word "Jun", he still feels that he can be regarded as a "talent". But now, there is no elegance in Pang Tong''s heart. There is only one thought swirling around, damn, how are we going to cross this river?


    It is still necessary to pass by without alerting the defenders on the other side, or before the defenders on the other side have time to send out a warning signal. Otherwise, the watchtower built in the distance on the other side must be used as a beacon signal, and the beacon warning signal Once it rises, it can be delivered to Luoyang within one day!


    Cutting off the opponent''s food route naturally requires the opponent to be unprepared before it is called a breakthrough attack, otherwise it will lead to death...


    what to do?


    Damn it, what on earth are we going to do?
