Even in later generations, without the means of communication, human beings would still be unable to move an inch in nature, and this was especially true in the Han Dynasty. For such an era when communication tools are all transmitted by people and horses, any little bit of information is precious, while pricking up their ears, carefully observing the development of the situation, and carefully deploying the troops in their hands according to the information, it has become the choice of many generals in the Han Dynasty.

It is even the only choice for many Haoyou and scholars in Guanzhong.

Some time ago, the garrison in Suyi, which originally belonged to General Zhengxi, was all set aside, crossed Zuo Fengyi, and went eastward, and the place where it passed naturally caused a shock in Guanzhong. The local Haoqiang and Shi clans who still exist in Guanzhong have long been full of rumors about the rapid rise of the dazzling Zhengxi General like a comet, especially the news of the strength of his soldiers and horses......

For the big Han in the storm, these Guan sergeant clan heroes are actually a little lacking in interest, and some of the national righteousness in their original hearts have also been consumed in the Xiqiang Rebellion War in the past 20 years.

For these Guan sergeant clan heroes, what remains here is just because they are reluctant to give up the land in their hands, as for the rulers at the head, they are more or less indifferent, in exchange, are they not a group of people who like to be powerful? If the power of these Guan sergeant clan heroes can be guaranteed, it will be the same for everyone.

When Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, rose, it was only in the north of the country, and it was impossible for the ruling power to reach the Guanzhong region, but the changes in Pingyang in the north sprouted in the hearts of many people. A bitter cold place can be turned upside down in a few years, which has to be admired.

At the same time, the vast majority of these Guanzhong people basically have no concept of economics, so they have no ability to counter a series of measures to attract wealth in Binh Duong, and can only watch as many traders move from Guanzhong to Binh Duong......

The richer and more vendors, the more they attract vendors, and they have to gather together at the risk of huge competitiveness; And the poorer they are, the less purchasing power they have, the less traders are willing to go, and once such a cycle is established, it will be difficult for ordinary people to break it.

In addition, there is a very important reason, Guanzhong has been in chaos for too long, it is not just to the extent of breaking the muscles and bones, it can even be said to be fragmented, these remnants of the Guan Sergeant clan are right, longing for a powerful political group to be able to lineup Xuanhe, and the soldiers are extremely sharp to directly control Guanzhong, even if it is as brutal as Dong Zhuo, that is, it is just a difficult life, and it is better than not knowing when it will become white bones in the chaos of many parties.

When Yang Biao was in Guanzhong, in order to win over these Guan sergeant clan Haoyou, maybe he gave some benefits, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Biao patted his ass and went to Hongnong, and these originally promised benefits all fell into the void, if it weren't for Yang Biao's influence or some, these Guan Sergeant clan Haoyou, who had been exploited layer after layer, would probably have jumped to their feet and scolded.

Of course, it's just a scolding, so that these gentlemen who are used to being a rich man blatantly raise troops to make trouble, most of them don't have the guts, and they all count on others to take the lead, so there is no one to take the lead.

In this case, these remnants of the scholars in Feng Yi have made the most realistic choice, on the one hand, they try their best to maintain a relationship with the new upstart Jingzhao Yin Zhao Wen in Guanzhong, and on the other hand, they secretly find some finely selected gifts and animals to send to Suyi......

Therefore, when Zhao Wen rushed to Suyi with a part of his soldiers and horses, these Guan Sergeant Clan Haoyou who got the news couldn't help but have a faint sense of expectation that the result would finally be reached.

The more this moment comes, the more it will send all kinds of personnel to conduct sentinels, and at the same time strengthen the connection between the dock forts, and carefully watch which side the wind will blow.

After Xu Shu left with the men and horses, he was worried all day long, and heard that Zhao Wen was coming with a large team, so he led a group of remnants of the officials, holding the album to the outside of the city to greet him......

"What?! So, all the grain and grass in the city have been emptied? Zhao Wen took Suyi's atlas and asked in surprise.

The officials left behind in Suyi replied: "Enlighten the envoy, there are only a few dozen stones left...... The people in the city are about to run out of food, and please ask the envoy to allocate one or two ......"

Zhao Wen laughed and laughed. Originally, I thought that when I came to Suyi, I could use the grain and grass in Suyi City, but I didn't expect to lose the grain and grass instead, which really made Zhao Wen not know what to say.

"Where are the soldiers in the city?" Zhao Wen asked, "Don't say that it's just these ...... in front of you?"

Looking at the two or three columns of the old, weak, sick and disabled lined up on the side of the road in front of him, Zhao Wen knew why Xu Shu left, but he left these people behind, if it was him, he would naturally make such a choice.

The Suyi official arched his hand and said with a little embarrassment: "...... Returning to the Envoy ...... This one...... It's these ......"

Zhao Wen couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said again after half a sound, "Then how many weapons are there in the city?" ”

The Suyi official lowered his head and said, "This...... There is no ......"

Zhao Wen rolled his eyes: "Rolling stones, there are always tools to defend the city, right?" "It's understandable that the blades were taken away, but these heavy, unfavorable transportation equipment for the city should be some, right?

"This ...... There is no ...... either."

"......" Zhao Wen couldn't speak for a while, "There is no this, there is no that, so what do you want?" ”

The Suyi official was silent for a moment, then reached out and untied the crown of his head, put it on the ground with the copper seal in his arms, and bowed: "...... A certain incompetent, I beg Jun Yun to resign......"

Zhao Wen gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand.

The Suyi officials, or the former Suyi officials, bowed again before standing up and leaving.

It's not that Zhao Wen doesn't know these things, it's not that this Suyi official can call the shots, but what is the situation is nothing, it also makes Zhao Wen full of anger, if it weren't for some residual sanity, Zhao Wen even wanted someone to cut this Suyi official with a knife......

"Get out! Drop your blade, take off your armor, and get out! Get out! ”

Wheezing for a while, Zhao Wen pointed at the old and weak remnants on the side of the road with a horsewhip, roared angrily, and then beat the horse and went to Suyi. knew that Suyi was poor and white, but he had to accept such a result, because Suyi was the best place to block the opening of Diaoyin, so even if it was the situation in front of him, Zhao Wen had to pinch his nose and admit it......

………………………………

Men and horses circled on the winding mountain roads, and the mighty army seemed endless.

After turning a few corners, seeing the figure of the pass revealed on the mountain in the distance, the soldiers in the Fei Qian queue couldn't help cheering.

"Diao Yin, look! The front is carved yin! Oh my God, it's finally here! ”

"Straight lady thief, this climb up and down, you can finally rest!"

"Don't say anything, a bowl of hot soup for me is better than anything else!"

"Medium! Make another fire, roast these robes on your body, and then sleep well, tsk......"

The soldiers were happily talking, and the shouts reached Fei Qian's ears.

Fei Qian smiled and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Zhang Ji, who was beside Fei Qian, was a little angry, and shouted with his neck straight: "You group of melon skins! If you eat cold cakes, won't you be stumped by the general? The general didn't say anything, you guys are a fart! Move faster, step bigger! Don't hold your legs, you are like a with a broken mouth! ”

Fei Qian also said: "Everyone work hard, when you get to Diaoyin, you will repair it well, there must be hot soup or something!" ”

The soldier replied in an uproar, and also quickened his pace.

From Pingyang to Diaoyin, it is indeed difficult to walk on the mountain road, especially the baggage car, if you are not careful, you will be stuck in the pit of the mountain road, and even because the road is uneven and cause overturning, and it is in such a winter day, the day is short, and the day is really not much longer distance.

Fei Qian and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu set off first, while Pang Tong and Jia Xu followed behind, escorting the baggage truck to follow slowly. If Fei Qian, the vanguard, walked with the baggage car, let alone five days, even if it was fifteen or twenty days, it might not be able to rush from Pingyang to Diaoyin......

But there is also a benefit to winter.

Chilly.

When the weather is cold, it is not easy to perish.

Therefore, the army of Fei Qian, which set out from Pingyang, was not the same as the ordinary army at all, but was somewhat like the army of the Hu people, carrying not a baggage cart, but horses and livestock, and most of the weight on the livestock was also the forage and bean feed of the horses, and as for the food of the people, it was carried by the soldiers themselves.

Without the baggage carts pulling back their legs, the speed of the march naturally increased a lot.

In addition, the ordinary sweaters that Feiqian has stockpiled since last year have also helped a lot. Although such a sweater is inevitably itchy when worn on the body, it is already a world of difference for soldiers who have always been able to wear cloth robes and hard-to-resist the cold in winter......

Some time ago, Zhang Ji was in the north of Yinshan Mountain, and he also suffered some small injuries, and some large and small wounds were added to his body, but for a man who has been on horseback for most of his life, these wounds are like medals.

Zhang Ji saw that he was already about to reach Diaoyin, and he was also a lot more relaxed, and said: "General, this time, we are going to take Guanzhong, right?" Hey, hey, hey, it's best to hit Xiliang......"

Fei Qian smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Homesick? ”

Zhang Ji nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I want to think about it...... But...... is in Xiliang, and there is no home...... "......In fact, Zhang Ji's family is also the strong and powerful of Xiliang Wuwei, but in the context of the Xiqiang rebellion, even if it is a local hero, it is like an ant."

The local scholars are strong, that is, they can be powerful and prosperous in the local area, but once they leave the territory under their control, they will immediately decline, just like the Zhuge clan is also a local noble clan in Langya, and as a result, as soon as he leaves, Zhuge can only work in his own fields.

Xiliang's Haoqiang, in fact, most of them are also horse thieves, in addition to defense, they will also do some looting things, so most of Xiliang's Haoqiang are martial arts, which is the reason.

Zhang Ji shook his head, as if he wanted to throw aside some bad memories, and then said: "Alas, let the general see ...... smile"

Fei Qian laughed and said, "It's okay, the suffering will eventually come to an end, and there will be a day when you will return home!" At that time, the Zhang family can naturally raise the flag in Xiliang! I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will be reluctant to close the middle and I don't know! ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Ji laughed and said, "This feeling is good! Borrow the general's good words! ”

Zhang Xiu, a black and strong young man, with a tall and tall appearance, followed behind Zhang Ji silently in heavy armor, and when he heard the conversation between Fei Qian and Zhang Ji, he also smiled from ear to ear. After the Battle of Yinshan, not only Zhang Ji was promoted, but even Zhang Xiu was promoted to a miscellaneous lieutenant, called the lieutenant of Zhenyu, although it was only the level of the lieutenant, but it was already possible to make his own unique flag, which was of course much more beautiful than when he was under Dong Zhuo......

If you have enough time outside, you will be able to go back to your hometown in a beautiful way and enjoy all kinds of admiration and envy from your hometown, which is the biggest dream of the Chinese Han people who are wandering outside.

The dream of returning to the roots has not changed even for thousands of years.

In the Battle of Yinshan, I got an official position, if I do another battle in Guanzhong and attack it well, I can fill in a few strokes in the merit book......

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu was also a little impatient, looking at Fei Qian and Zhang Ji's eagerness to laugh and talk, he couldn't help but make up a sentence: "General, let me be a pioneer this time!" ”

Zhang Ji looked back at Zhang Xiu, heyed, and said, "What's the matter, can't you grab it with me?" No, no, you kid is still tender......"

Zhang Xiu argued: "Uncle! Last time, you praised me and said that the commander was good, why did it become bad in a blink of an eye......"

Zhang Ji said: "...... This, this also depends on the situation! Anyway, I don't think you're going to make it! ”

"Ahh Uncle! Zhang Xiu couldn't help but exclaim.

Fei Qian smiled and said to Zhang Xiu: "It looks like you really want to lead the troops alone?" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't twist either, and immediately bowed his hand to Fei Qian, and said loudly: "Yes!" I beg the general to fulfill it! ”

Fei Qian nodded and said, "Originally, there was a plan to divide a group of people and make a detour to Chang'an...... However, this road is all mountainous, and it is a cold winter, so it is difficult to walk......"

Zhao Yun had traveled this mountain road before, but it was at the time of the summer season, so even if he didn't set up camp, it was more or less passable. And now it's winter, on the rugged and narrow mountain road, it's good to be able to travel, don't even think about camping or anything, at most you can only dig a nest and fight against the cold of nature, and the difficulty is not a little bit more difficult.

Therefore, normally speaking, once it enters winter, these originally rugged mountain roads are not a road that can be passed by soldiers and horses in the eyes of many people, just like the seven out of Qishan in history, not only Qishan, but only Qishan, which is the most suitable road for the army.

Zhang Xiu also knew that in this season, it was difficult for a small group of troops to march on the mountain road, but for him, it was also an opportunity, so after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "A certain wish to receive orders!" It will definitely live up to the general's trust! ”

Fei Qian looked at Zhang Xiu for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go to Diaoyin first, and then I will share the atlas of this road with you, and you can lead an army forward......"
