Chapter 819: Seeing People's Hearts (1)

Just when Fei Qian was boosting the morale of his soldiers and preparing to march towards Yin Mountain, the Jingzhao Sanfu area, far to the south, was already completely chaotic.

When Li Dao and Guo Yan came to Chang'an with soldiers and horses, Chang'an City was still disturbed, and there was no tension about the upcoming war.

After Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses ransacked Hongnong County, many dock forts along the side of the river have been broken, and many Hongnong scholars gradually migrated to the mountains in the south, and even crossed the Wuguan Pass to Yuzhou and Jingbei.

When the court of Chang'an got the news of the attack of the combined forces of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Li Guo's soldiers and horses had already passed the Hangu Pass, but above the court, no one still paid attention to the combined forces of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they still debated around the topic of moving the capital every day.

Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, the original place is small, and now a large number of people have poured in, after Dong Zhuo's death, no one has arranged a livelihood for these people who have no fixed place to live and have no food and clothing, which has caused a lot of problems, plus prices are boiling, every day in Chang'an Fangkou there are people who can't survive in the bid to sell their heads, sell their sons and daughters, and there are countless people who freeze to death and starve to death.

The court officials, mainly from the Shandong scholars, didn't want to stay in Chang'an at all, so they opened their eyes and chose to turn a blind eye and listen to it......

Wang Yun didn't want to stay in Chang'an, but he didn't want to move the capital east. The reason is very simple, Er Yuan is now powerful, the military power is in his hands, and if he goes to Luoyang or somewhere further east, won't it become a situation where Dong Zhuo has not entered Beijing, and will Wang Yun's hard-earned authority be handed over again?

And for these big and small officials who were originally in Chang'an, they wanted to manage but didn't dare to manage it, or they couldn't manage it, they were originally under Dong Zhuo's control, and they must have some connections with Dong Zhuo, and now that Dong Zhuo has fallen, these people are afraid of being implicated, and they can't wait to shrink at home like a turtle every day, where are they willing to take the risk to come out and take responsibility? Besides, these people from Henan Yi and Shandong Shi don't care, and these local officials in Chang'an dare to take care of it? In extraordinary times, if a buyer's hat is buttoned down, the whole family will go to Fangkou? Therefore, more is better than less.

As a result, the people at the grassroots level saw it but did not dare to take care of it, and the people at the top did not want to take care of it when they could not see it, and these people who migrated from here were miserable, some of them froze to death and starved to death, and those who survived, in desperation, migrated to the more desert west, or to the north again......

Li Dao and Guo Yan were cautious and slowly moved to Chang'an at the beginning, you must know that there are thirty or forty thousand troops stationed in Chang'an alone, plus some of the surrendered troops around Dong Zhuo after his death, almost two or three times as many as them, if such a force is really the bar, but there is not much good fruit to eat without Li Dao and Guo Yan, but looking at Chang'an's reaction, it seems to be getting weaker and weaker, except for the initial dispatch of a messenger to reprimand and order the two to disband on the spot, there is not much movement, This made Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had been worried for a while, and even doubled down on the scouts to investigate the movements of Chang'an's soldiers and horses, and finally took a breath of air.

Even Guo Yan, who has always been more cautious, took the information on Chang'an's movements collected by the scouts every day, and expressed a trace of optimism, and began to imagine how to attack Chang'an City, instead of thinking about how to retreat in case Chang'an's soldiers and horses attacked and couldn't resist as before......

Compared with the more optimistic Li Wei, he already feels that the court is undecided, the people in Chang'an City are panicked, and there is not much combat power.

For Li Dao and Guo Yan, these news are all good news, and they also confirm what Jia Xu said, but now there is not much grain and grass, but Li Guo and the two have a headache, and there is no way to enter Chang'an.

Along the Hongnong all the way, the farmland along the way is basically deserted, and now Li Dao and Guo Yan are not able to conjure up grain and grass out of thin air, and they did not dare to loot too hard in the Yuzhou area before, for fear of being annihilated by the north and south Yuan He, so there is not much grain and grass until now. Although Li Dao and Guo Yan led mainly foot soldiers, and war horses accounted for only a few, no matter how much a large army marched to fight, no matter how much it was saved, it could not let the big head soldiers have no dry food for fighting, no arrows and other consumables for the battle, and now the military heart is not very stable, to make these big soldiers obedient, nothing else, at least to have food, if you really want to go into battle to fight, how much you have to work hard before going out of the battle, these pot stove food, is also a must.

If Chang'an City can go down in a battle, it will save some things, otherwise this is under Chang'an City, how can it be set up as a camp to rely on the battle defense, but now the tents are a little lacking, not to mention those special sizes of wood, wood processing equipment, and even the iron chains that lock the deer, the big iron nails that lock the wood, etc., all kinds of forests, all of which are lacking.

These things, that is, Guo Yan's worries, are also the reasons for not wanting to attack Chang'an immediately, as for Li Dao, of course he understands, but he has no good way.

Now along the way, the county town is deserted, not to mention the farmland in the wild, it is better to ask for timber and iron nails and the like, and it is a big deal to send some people to the surrounding abandoned villages and cities to demolish some of them, but this grain and grass really can't be changed.

"Why don't you ......" Li Wei suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Guo Yan and said, "...... Looking for an essay and asking? What's the point of paying attention to? ”

"Wenhe?" Guo Yan rolled his eyes and didn't agree immediately. For this Jia Xu, Guo Yan has always been more repulsive, because he can't see this Jia Xu can't see this person clearly, although Jia Xu said that he only thinks that after opening up Chang'an, he can let him return to his hometown with peace of mind, but Guo Yan feels that this is probably just an excuse, and what Jia Xu is really thinking about is really not sure at all.

Li Wei also saw Guo Xu's hesitation, and also heard Guo Yan say more than once that he should beware of Jia Xu who couldn't see through, so he really didn't get too close to Jia Xu along the way, but now he is about to run out of food and salary, where can he take care of anything else, not to mention that Jia Xu also had a good idea before, and now it doesn't hurt to ask him what countermeasures there are, so he said: "...... Why don't you find Wen He, do you have an idea? ”

"......" Guo Yan was silent for a while, "...... Call him......"
