Chapter 2334 The rising sun in Guanzhong
It’s another new day.
After Fei Qian got up early in the morning, before making breakfast, he first went to the Salesian Bureau of Chang''an.
Since we have to take in orphans, of course we can’t just make a show of it. It would be better not to do it.
The Salesian Bureau is not in Chang''an City, but to the east of Ba River, not far from Ba Bridge. It was originally just a manor. It belonged to Dong Zhuo before. Later, it belonged to Wang Yun after Dong Zhuo''s death, and then it belonged to the Zhong family after Wang Yun''s death. Now it is naturally considered to be under Fei Qian''s name...
??The manor is not very big, but it is enough to accommodate some orphans.
??The first batch of orphans have been sent here one after another. After hearing that Fei Qian was coming, they were all waiting outside the manor under the leadership of the manager of the Salesian Bureau.
There are tall and short children, boys and girls, with relatively more girls, and they all have the same characteristic, which is thinness. Many of them still have scars on their faces and bodies. There were also a few scabies, and their shaved heads reflected a pale color in the sunlight.
Because they are thin, these children’s eyes look big, and their clothes seem to be hanging on hangers, empty.
Fei Qian got off his horse, looked around, nodded, and said: "Let these children...wait a moment, the two on the left will stay, and the rest will go back first..."
Fei Qian took the people around and looked at the place where the children stayed and ate, checked their clothes and food, and then went to look at the classroom. Most of these children will become handicraftsmen, and only a small number of the smarter ones will have the opportunity to become bachelors of agriculture and bachelors of engineering. Of course, this is already much better than their original fate.
After returning to the manor lobby and taking a seat, Fei Qian waved and asked the two children, a boy and a girl who had been left behind before, to come forward. Huang Xu first gave him some dry food and water that he had brought with him, and then let the two children eat some. , seeing the two children gradually relaxing, he asked: "What do you think of this place?" 』
The two children looked at each other, then lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
??The steward of the Salesian Bureau standing aside stared anxiously, but did not dare to make a sound, blowing on his beard.
"The house I lived in before was very old...I don''t even know when it was built. It leaked when it rained..." Fei Qian was not in a hurry and said slowly, "I need to get a wooden basin to hold it. Otherwise, it will flow all over the house... But no matter how broken it is, it is still my home... It''s a pity that later..."
Fei Qian shook his head and sighed slightly, "It was burned later... nothing was left..."
The two children looked up at Fei Qian.
‘What about you? Do you still remember what your home looks like? Fei Qian asked.
The older child nodded, then shook his head.
The younger child seemed to be thinking hard about it, but finally shook his head.
“Tell me about it...Look, I’ve told you what my previous home was like...” Fei Qian looked at the older boy and said with a smile.
"My house... is made of wood... and it also leaks... My mother said that it was built by my father... Because my father built the house, that''s why my mother got married..." The older child said slowly, " Later... later... someone came asking for money, my family had no money... The fields were hit again, and nothing grew... Those people came again... My father was injured, and he was lying on the ground covered in blood... My mother hugged him My father cried all night... The next day, my father was still sleeping... My mother took me to find my second uncle... My mother left... I never saw my mother again... Later, my second uncle''s house also There was a disaster...Many people left...My second uncle and I also followed...Later, my second uncle''s leg was broken and there was a big hole...One day he fell asleep and didn''t wake up..."
The child spoke intermittently, and then fell silent.
Fei Qian was also silent, and after a long time he said: "Live well and learn some skills, so that you can have the opportunity to go home and see..."
The child nodded in understanding.
??Fei Qian stood up and walked out. When he was about to leave the Salesian Bureau and get on his horse, he lowered his head and ordered the manager of the Salesian Bureau: "It''s a good job...Many people are watching here...Do you understand?" 』
??The Salesian Bureau manager quickly fell to the ground, kowtowed and said, "Young man, I understand, I understand..."
Fei Qian responded slightly and rode off.
Along the way, Fei Qian''s mood was a little heavy. It wasn''t until he returned to the Husband''s Yamen that he felt a little better. After passing through the courtyard and going around the corridor, when Fei Qian arrived at the inner hall again, he saw that there were already many lines on the screen, and Fei Zhen was sitting beside him, and there were also re-copied brochures on the desk. .
Fei Zhen had been waiting here early. When she saw Fei Qian, she quickly and respectfully handed the brochure in her hand to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian looked through it, picked up the pen, and made some corrections to some of the interrelationships. For example, Dali Temple not only corresponds to the Dharma Cao from various places, but also corresponds to some special events that occurred in the countryside during inspections. case. But most of the projects are still correct, and some of Feizhen''s own annotations have also been made.
Fei Qian nodded, then returned the brochure to Fei Zhen, and said, "So, what did you find among these functional agencies?" 』
??Feizhen walked a few steps in front of the screen, spread her arms and sketched out the names of some organizations, "Father, these are the same category, the so-called people with low positions and high power..."
"oh? ” Fei Qian nodded slightly, “What should I say? 』
Feizhen said, "Just like the Finance Department of the General Mansion, which is under the jurisdiction of Xun Gongda, it is in charge of local finance and taxation, household registration and farming, mines and real estate, shops and caravans, and almost everything. However, except for the chief officer Xun Gongda, In addition, the maximum is only four hundred stones, and there are a large number of assistants, only one hundred stones..."
?Fei Qian nodded again, expressing his affirmation.
"Then there are these..." Feizhen pointed to the names of some other institutions and said, "Generally speaking, they have high positions and low power... Of course, they are not very low, but they are more limited. For example, the Senate and the Law Institute only have the Senate. The power of law seems to come from it every time, but in fact..."
Fei Qian smiled slightly and said, "That''s right." 』
“Hehe, hehe...” Feizhen put her hands on her hips happily.
Feiqian glanced at him and asked, "Is your mother here again?" 』
?Feizhen was speechless for a moment, and after a while she said slumped, "Yes...Father..."
Accept the punishment? Fei Qian asked.
“…” Feizhen lowered her head and said, “Accept the punishment. 』
Fei Qian pointed to the slips on the side, "Then just copy these...a hundred times." 』
One hundred times? ! ” Feizhen’s eyes widened. Yesterday, Feizhen wrote quite detailedly for a more detailed understanding, but now Feizhen has fallen into deep regret. If she had known better, she would have written less words...
Fei Qian glanced at Fei Zhen, thought for a moment, and said, "In this way, I will ask you three questions. If you answer one at this moment, the number of copies will be halved. That is to say, if there are three questions Everything has been answered, you just need to copy it..."
Feizhen moved her fingers slightly, then rolled her eyes a few times, "Thirteen, no, twelve times!" 』
Fei Qian didn''t care about how to calculate the rounding. He just raised his first finger and said, "Ask, if there is a new law, send it to Shenlu, but the Shenlu Court rejects it... Just like this time, the new policy of Longyou County in Longxi , Wei Yuanzheng, who was participating in the Law Court, did not cooperate. When he found the flaws in it, he sealed it and rejected it. What should be done? 』
Fei Zhen opened her mouth to answer, but was stopped by Fei Qian, "Think carefully, you only have one chance... If you feel that your dictation is not thorough, you can write it down first..."
Feizhen blinked twice, then sat down at the table. She thought silently for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote something. Halfway through writing, she paused and then wrote what she had written previously. Cross it out and think about it again...
?Fei Qian did not urge Fei Zhen. There is no fixed answer to this question itself. You can solve things, you can solve people, and more importantly, what attitude is shown through such questions, and what kind of new attitude will be produced by this attitude of solving the problem? Influence, this is the core thing of Fei Qian''s question.
?After a while, Feizhen submitted the answer to the first question and looked on with some anxiety.
Fei Qian glanced briefly. The words crossed out at the top of the paper are probably for solving people''s problems, while the rewritten direction below is for solving things...
But the problem is still not completely solved.
After all, Fei Qian is considering the rules, while Fei Zhen is considering the current case.
"It''s roughly half right..." Fei Qian said slowly, "I''ll leave this question here. You can read it every month and weigh it yourself..."
"The second question...when a new decree comes out, there must be some who agree and some who oppose..." Fei Qian put down the answer to the first question and looked at Fei Zhen, "And everyone can tell the truth and lie. , or half-truths, if you find someone is praising, is this person telling the truth or a lie, and someone is denying, is it the truth or a lie, yes, what I am asking is what do you want to do? judge? 』
"The third question..." Fei Qian raised his head and looked at the ink words on the screen. He looked at the strokes of those words, like a knife blade, and like black blood that had condensed but not flowed. Dian Heng said slowly, "The third question is to ask yourself...what is right, what is wrong, and what are the criteria for judgment? If you need to issue a decree, what should you base it on?" 』
“Think about it carefully. After you have thought about it, come and find someone.” Fei Qian stood up, waved his hand, indicating that Fei Zhen did not need to salute, took two steps outside, then paused and said, "When you have time, you can also go to the Salesian Bureau over Baqiao... 』
After saying that, Fei Qian walked out of the back hall.
Huang Xu, who was standing outside the back hall, bowed slightly and greeted Fei Zhen. Then he followed Fei Qian closely, walked a few steps to the front hall and whispered: "My lord, there is something in the front yard just now." Military news reaches..."
Fei Qian nodded and quickened his pace.
“Emergency military situation in Hanzhong...” Pang Tong saw Fei Qian in the front hall and came up to him, “Coming from Ziwu Valley...”
Ziwu Valley? Fei Qian sat down and frowned slightly after hearing this. A name jumped out, "Wei Wenchang?" 』
Pang Tong nodded, and then offered his general''s love.
Because most of the carrier pigeons are one-way, and because transportation in Hanzhong has been cut off for a period of time, there are not many carrier pigeons available in Sichuan and Sichuan, so not everything can be delivered to Guanzhong quickly, like This time in Ziwu Valley, after Wei Yan broke through the blockade of Ziwu Valley, he sent soldiers to Guanzhong...
"This Wei Wenchang..." Fei Qian shook his head and smiled, "He is quite confident in someone..."
Wei Yan said that he had already reached Hanzhong and would try to involve Zhang Ze''s military strength, and then asked Fei Qian to send soldiers through Ziwu Valley as soon as possible. By then, a combined attack would be able to shock Hanzhong in one fell swoop, disintegrate Zhang Ze''s strength, and even You can march into Nanzheng and trap the enemy under the city.
"If someone is not prepared..." Fei Qian raised a finger and flicked the military report, "Maybe Wei Wenchang was stumped..."
Setting up a military formation is not just a matter of clicking the mouse in the game. If Fei Qian did not prepare some soldiers and supplies in advance, but waits for Wei Yan''s information to arrive before deploying, let alone whether he can assemble the troops. , just talking about this time-consuming process may lead to the war going in a different direction.
order! Fei Qian issued an order, "Assemble the south camp of Chang''an, mobilize a thousand mountain troops, and march to Hanzhong immediately!" Send an order to Longxi and order Zhang Wenyuan''s troops to enter Yangping Pass! 』
…(●￣()￣●)…
Hanzhong. In an inconspicuous village among the mountains and ravines, Wei Yan smiled and patted the village chief, "Don''t worry, as long as you cooperate with me, even if you have done meritorious service in supporting the Hussars, you will definitely be useful in many ways." reward! 』 Wei Yan captured the village very suddenly, and naturally there was no power in the village to fight back. By the time he reacted, Wei Yan had already completed the occupation.
??Of course this is a Han village, and Wei Yan naturally did not use the knife as soon as he came up. Instead, he asked the village chief to cooperate with him. Of course, if someone did not listen to the advice and acted rashly, Wei Yan would not be polite. It''s just that most of the people in this village have never seen the world, and they are even more panicked when they see the soldiers. They can only kneel down and pray without daring to resist.
Hanzhong is sandwiched between two horizontal mountains. Although it can be regarded as a plain, the overall concept is not the same as that of Shandong. The loess has been eroded by millions of years of rain, forming many ravines, so that some places look very close, but in fact they are far away.
??The village chief bowed his head and walked away with a sad face. He originally wanted to know when Wei Yan could leave, but he still didn''t get a definite answer.
Because Wei Yan himself is not very clear about this specific time, it needs to be determined according to the changes in the battlefield situation...
At this moment, if you look carefully around this village, you may be able to find that among the thousands of ravines, where there are trees and shrubs, there is some light and shadow shaking, and there are often some distant views from the heights of the Guandao Mountain Road. gaze.
In the land of Hanzhong, Zhang Ze claimed to have 300,000 soldiers, among whom there were tens of thousands who could be called strong soldiers. However, Wei Yan allowed Wei Yan to lead more than a thousand soldiers back and forth. In some cities, he even did not even dare to go out. He just blindly cling to…
Although it is true that Wei Yan took the Micang Road and broke through the Nanshan military stronghold by chance, the behavior of Zhang''s soldiers in Hanzhong was naturally disappointing, so much so that many Hanzhong natives began to murmur to themselves secretly, even if After knowing some of Wei Yan''s movements, he pretended not to see it when it was not necessary, and would not take the initiative to report it. Invisibly, it gave Wei Yan more room to hide.
The situation has quietly changed.
Back then, under the tricolor flag of the Hussars, there was a seemingly endless army. Their weapons and armor were shining in the sun, and dust and smoke were rolling up to the sky. The scene of those elite cavalry pouring into Hanzhong was once again awakened from the depths of memory. .
just in case…
It’s better to save your own life first!
Therefore, the Zhang family''s men who were sent out to hunt down Wei Yan each had their own thoughts. Except for the Zhang family''s central army, which was jumping around all day long and clamoring to kill Wei Yan immediately, the rest became more and more cautious. A small step in the day, a big step in five days. If there is any slight disturbance, they will set up camp, and then report that they have encountered the enemy. After a while of fussing, there will be another two or three days of delay. Zhang Shizi, who was in charge of the soldiers, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. .
But Zhang Shizi was helpless, because he himself knew that it was difficult to compete with Wei Yan with his own strength, so he could only intimidate these subordinates while painting a pie for them, but when these subordinates realized that they They were all on a sinking ship, and neither threats nor threats had much effect.
??And in Longxi, among the swirling smoke and dust, the three-color battle flag standing high was also heading towards Yangping Pass.
Longyou and Longxi have been generally restored, and it is enough to have Taishi Ci in charge. Zhang Liao is able to withdraw southward, take Tianshui, cross Xiabian, and point directly at Yangping Pass.
?Dozens of military schools and hundreds of personal guards followed Zhang Liao. From time to time, cavalry galloped back and forth, reporting on the situation ahead and conveying Zhang Liao''s military orders.
?Zhang Liao was wearing a black light armor that was only worn by high-ranking generals. It looked dark and inconspicuous, but only knowledgeable people would know how powerful such an armor was.
?In the Han Dynasty, armor could be used as a family heirloom, not to mention a person in battle. Armor was simply a second life. Whether or not there was armor could be said to be a completely different person. And military heroes like Zhang Liao even have two or three sets of armor. In addition to the one he is currently wearing, there is also a spare set of iron armor and a slightly lighter set of leather armor.
On both sides of Zhang Liao''s horse, there were swords and long bows hung, as well as three bags full of arrows. As for other dry food and drinking water, they were similar to those of ordinary cavalry.
From Guanzhong to Longyou, and then from Longyou to Yangpingguan, it is impossible to say that I am not tired at all. However, when descending from Zhangliao, everyone is in high spirits and does not seem to be affected by the fatigue of the journey at all. Sitting on horseback, he laughed loudly and delivered orders in a clear and sonorous voice.
Continuous battles are actually an adventure.
In history, there are many things that resulted in defeat due to continuous battles. For example, Xiang Yu''s Battle of Gaixia was because after a long battle, the Chu army was eager to return. Even after hearing the voice of Chu, the army was completely devastated, which ultimately led to Xiang Yu''s complete defeat. …
?At the same time, Zhang Liao had another adventure when he marched to Yangping Pass this time.
?Zhang Liao looked into the distance, seemingly looking at someone or something...
??The news that Zhang Liao was targeting Yangping Pass reached Hanzhong, and it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing the people in Hanzhong to stagger around and panic.
Zhang Ze issued three instructions in a row, all of which required Zhang Kai, the guard of Yangping Pass, to defend Yangping Pass at all costs!
