The sky gradually brightened, and for the Feiqian camp in Baishuigou, the days on the battlefield in Guanzhong had passed another day, and a new day had come.

Of course, at present, no one knows how this war will change.

When the sky was just dawning, the soldiers in the camp in Baishuigou had already come out of their tents and began a day's training and labor.

Unlike the vast majority of troops in this time period, there is no difference between the soldiers under Fei Qian's subordinates, and there is no difference between the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, so all things are arranged in turns, so that although it will cost some of the physical strength of the soldiers at some time, it will also bring some better results.

For example, if a simple camp is set up, if you call auxiliary soldiers or people to operate it, then it is just a job, anyway, whatever the boss says, you can do it, as for whether it is good or bad, it can only be measured by the person in charge.

Soldiers were more concerned about fortifications, they knew how to be more stable, they could be better protected, although they were not professional craftsmen, they knew what was most important, and they would even brush the wooden walls of the camp with mud, pull some grass in the grass to tie knots, and nail a few sharpened sticks to the hidden places under the rocks with large drops......

This kind of thing, in fact, is not difficult, but human nature is often habitual to choose the laziest and easiest way to deal with it, and only when you really have to face it, will you do it seriously.

It's like the so-called female man in later generations, carrying mineral water buckets, repairing electrical circuit water pipes, eliminating cockroaches and rats, and even dragging gas canisters upstairs when no one helps, but as long as there are other men around him to rely on, he immediately transforms, and he can't do this, and he can't carry that.

It's not the so-called hypocrisy, but human nature, anyway, you can choose the simple mode that you can just use your lips, why choose the hard mode that makes you work so hard?

Under the leadership of Qu Chang, a group of soldiers opened a camp, practiced arrays, dug trenches, felled trees to resist horses, and carried stones and logs to boil their strength.

It's just that this kind of noisy situation makes the Xiliang scouts who are hiding on the hillside peeping from afar very difficult, so how can they count the number in the big camp of Feixi Baishuigou? Moreover, these Western Liang scouts could not stay in the same place for long, because the rangers patrolling the vicinity of the camp could appear at any time......

"Damn merger, is this trying to turn this place into a fortress?" A Xiliang scout looked at it for a while, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

The Baishuigou camp now not only has a wooden mud wall, but also dug a circle of trenches on all sides, excavated at a distance of about an arrow from the wall, after several days of continuous repair and excavation, has been dug out of the appearance. The trench was five paces wide and had been dug almost a man deep, and the earth and gravel that had been dug up were all stacked on the inside of the trench to form a small earthen wall. The sides of the earthen wall were also tamped, and the branches of the felled trees were used to lay on them, and the cross-weaving was placed in one place, one was to prevent the soil from falling back, and the other was that the increasingly high earthen wall became an obstacle that was more difficult for the attackers to cross.

Behind the earthen wall reinforced by this branch, there are dense layers of deer and horses, which almost fill the open space between the ditch and the camp, leaving only four or five zhang wide open space in the north and south directions of the camp, and erecting a simple suspension bridge. Inside the camp, there are more than a dozen guard towers, on the one hand, you can monitor the movement of the surrounding area without dead ends, and in addition, if you encounter an enemy attack, these teeth will become arrow towers, controlling the north-south passage.

The cavalry camp is behind the infantry camp, although there is no wall, but the cavalry camp spread out along the foot of the mountain spans the entire open space between Baishui and the nameless mountains, leaving a fairly open road for attack, ready to go out in armor at any time to respond to the infantry camp in front.

Such a camp is enough for everyone who wants to attack to see it, and they lose the desire to attack.

"Are the flags still there?"

“…… Uh, it's still there, it's all still there......"

"Is the stove counted?"

"It's done, nothing has changed......"

"Done, let's withdraw ......"

Several Xiliang scouts lowered their heads, bent down the small hillside, and then turned to the back of the hillside, took out the war horses, and left quietly.

Not long after, on the top of the nameless mountain range on the side of Baishuigou, a bush suddenly moved, and several people with these grass blades on their bodies stood up, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "The method that the prince said is really good! These Xiliang thieves are so close that they don't even notice us......"

"Let's go, go back and report to Xu!"

A few soldiers in simple camouflage put away the grass and leaves and other items, and then went down the mountain to a more gentle place behind, and entered the camp to report to Xu Shu who stayed in the camp......

That's right, now in the camp, only Xu Shu and Ma Yan are left. Xu Shu was in charge of the deployment of large and small matters, Ma Yan was in charge of military operations, and Fei Qian, as the commander, had secretly slipped away from the Baishuigou camp with Zhang Liao a few days ago.

Of course, the tricolor flag remained in the camp.

As Jia Xu, who knew Xiliang the people best, had already put forward the proposal of uniting with Ma Teng and Han Sui at the beginning, but at that time, Li Dao Guo Yan was arrogant and felt that there was no need for this, so he also did not take Jia Xu's suggestion seriously, but with the passage of time, the deterioration of the situation in the entire Guanzhong, Li Dao Guo Yan and others will inevitably recall this matter, which means that the balance of forces in the entire battle situation will change fundamentally......

And the letter sent by Li Dao in Xinfeng from Fei Min, whether it is a consolation or a provocation, after all, it is hoped that Fei Qian and others will focus on a place like Xinfeng.

Xinfeng, located in the hinterland of Guanzhong, has fertile water and soil, flat terrain, not suitable for the defense of foot soldiers, but very suitable for cavalry activities!

Then, combined with what Jia Xu said, it can almost be inferred that Li Dao wants to fight a cavalry-based battle in Xinfeng, which is equivalent to saying that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have joined forces with Ma Teng and Han Sui, otherwise it is impossible to have sufficient cavalry to fight this battle.

Although Fei Qian also had a considerable number of cavalry on hand, the same Fei Qian was not willing to put all these cavalry on hand into the meat grinder of Guanzhong. Therefore, for Fei Qian, Pang Xi's proposal is more suitable......

Of course, it's just a little more suitable.

But where there is an alliance, it naturally has the characteristics of an alliance, which is loosely organized and cooperates for the sake of competition. Whether it is Li Guo or Ma Teng Han Sui, who joined later, it must be the same, so once the external pressure is too great, it will lead to them being more closely united.

Therefore, if you want to break this alliance, you have to make an opening, and then you can make this alliance unbalanced......

In a dock fort on the outskirts of Pinyang County, Fei Qian and Pang Xi were sitting in the hall of the dock fort, discussing matters with Pang Shu, the owner of the dock fort.

Pang Shu and Pang Yi are officials in the same dynasty and have always had a good relationship. Because the surname Pang is actually very ancient, derived from the surname Ji, after Bi Gonggao, it belongs to the name of Fengyi, almost since the Zhou Dynasty began to have this surname, so all of them are thriving in the area of the river, although it is not the same branch, but it is basically the same clan.

Pang Shu has been to Pingyang and met Fei Qian, so there is not much strangeness between them, and the atmosphere is relatively harmonious......

However, it was still relatively harmonious at the beginning, because there was always an indescribable sense of joy when talking about these Xiliang people.

Pang Xi stroked his beard with a smile and said: "The place of worship to the sky, a certain intention is Chiyang, so it is said that Meiyang, but Meiyang Hou is afraid that Chiyang Hou is dissatisfied outside, so he ......"

Chi Yang Hou is Li Dao. Meiyang Hou is Guo Yan. Chiyang is in the north of Chang'an City, relatively close, while Meiyang is near the location of Yiwu, which belongs to the county seat farther west of Chang'an.

Therefore, whether it is from the geographical or convenient aspects, Chiyang is a better choice, but the people in the government and the opposition know that if Guo Yan's suspicious personality is concerned, if they take the initiative to choose Chiyang, they may be noticed by Guo Yan, so they deliberately seem to be trying to pat the sycophants of Meiyang Hou Guo Yan, and propose to hold a ceremony to worship the sky in Meiyang.

As expected, although Guo Yan was a little tempted, he finally hesitated, and after thinking about it for two or three days, he still decided to hold this ceremony in Chiyang, if there was no threat from Fei Qian and others, Guo Yan would have agreed to be in Meiyang, but now the situation is sinister, Guo Yan has to think about it a little more, and finally decided to go to Chiyang, that is, to stabilize the heart of Li Dao, who led troops outside.

Speaking of this, Pang Shu also smiled, and then said: "Not only that, but the waiter also wants to use the Wen Dance...... Hehe, sure enough, Meiyang Hou changed it to a martial arts ceremony......"

As early as ancient China, the use of music and dance during sacrifices was already a very complete set of rituals. At the time of the formation of China, music, as a synthesis of five tones and eight tones, was like a drum and a wood, and it was also the sum of heaven and earth. In etiquette, it is an extremely important part of the decoration of the ancestors, and ordinary people are not qualified to enjoy music.

Dance, on the other hand, is used to express the movement between people and gods during religious sacrifices, and to express the meaning of devotion and worship to gods, so music and dance have become the most important part of religious sacrifices.

The same was true of the Han Dynasty.

Ancestor sacrifice was one of the most important sacrificial traditions of the Han Dynasty. In order to better praise the merits of the emperor's ancestors, and also to reflect the awe and piety of the sacrificers for the emperor's ancestors, in the Han Dynasty, both music and dance were choreographed more carefully and complexly, but in general, there is not much difference from later generations, that is, to invite the gods, and then offer sacrifices, and finally send the gods to these three major links.

Each link is equipped with music and unique etiquette, the so-called cultural dance or martial dance, is after the sacrifice is offered, the ancestors and gods are happy rituals, and the dance is used to praise the ancestors' literary and martial virtues......

In the literary dance, the dancer takes the feather, and the martial dance, naturally takes the dry qi.

So these guys in the government and the opposition, this time they want to catch and indulge, and they succeed again. The reason is very simple, when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government, he used martial arts, but at that time, most of the factors were just Dong Zhuo's personal preferences, but now it has become a consideration of political correctness.

Wang Yun changed the martial dance to the cultural dance, so now that he is going to pay tribute, can he still use the cultural dance? Therefore, the Marquis of Meiyang, who stayed in Chang'an, didn't think much about it, so he directly vetoed the proposal of Chong Shao and others, and changed the Wenwu to the Wuwu......

It can be said that Guo Yan thought that it was completely his own personal idea, but he didn't expect that all of them fell into the calculations of Chong Shao and others, this kind of intellectual gap is indeed not something that can be made up by relying on the level of official positions, so it is no wonder that Pang Shu and Pang Xi invariably showed a kind of ridicule for Guo Yan's intellectual crushing.

Therefore, whether it is Pang Shu or Pang Xi, they are relatively optimistic about the matter of elucidating Guo Yan during the sacrifice to the sky, and at the same time, they seem to take it for granted in the handling of things after killing Guo Yan.

“…… The Marquis of Chiyang is now outside, and he has heavy troops, I wonder if the two and the princes of the government and the opposition can be prepared? Fei Qian looked at these two huge Pang Er who were a little proud, oh, Pang Xi and Pang Shu, saying that they should not focus on Guo Bian in Chang'an, and they also need to pay special attention to this matter.

"What's so hard about that?" Pang Xi said that this is not a matter, and said, "Chiyang Hou is outside, and the soldiers and food are deployed by Meiyang Hou in Chang'an City, if they are removed, their supply will be cut off, and there will be chaos in less than three days...... After speaking, he also looked at Fei Qian, as if to show how Fei Qian could be so timid, and he was afraid of some thieves who had no food and grass supply.

Fei Qian couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, these guys still take it for granted. Yes, that's right, it's basically a miracle that an army without military rations can be forced to last for three days, but the question is whether there is any grain in Li Wei's army, and can grain and grass be transferred from other places?

The warehouses in Xinfeng County and the surrounding dock forts may extend time for Li Dao and others, but when Efei Qian put these matters out, they were vetoed by Pang Xi.

"Feihou's words are not unreasonable," Pang Xi said slowly...... "...... However, Xinfeng and other places have also been looted, and there is no food in stock? As for the Dock Fort...... It is like taking wild food from the chestnut of a tree, how can it feed the multitude? ”

Well, since you think so, I don't have much to say.

Fei Qian laughed twice, and no longer spoke, but became more and more aware of the fact that in fact, these so-called righteous people, loyal ministers above the court, are just temporarily allied with themselves, as for other aspects, I am afraid ......
