Chapter 1046: New Information Brought by the Caravan
This year, a lot has happened.
Fei Qian ran back and forth, and finally relieved the crisis in Yinshan. The Montenegrin army has suffered unprecedented setbacks and blows, and Zhao Yun is gathering the remnants of the Black Mountain people.
The political struggle in Guanzhong was in full swing, and not long after Fei Qian returned to Pingyang, he received some information, one of which was some things about Guanzhong from Xu Shu.
The plague in Guanzhong, after a great outbreak, gradually declined. What the reason is, Xu Shu naturally doesn't understand, but Fei Qian can generally guess it.
The emergence of the plague is probably related to war. A large number of corpses were not disposed of in time, and they were piled up together to decay and deteriorate, nourishing astronomical viruses, which were transmitted through rats and mosquitoes. This plague germ has always preferred a humid and warm environment, and some time ago, it rained and the temperature rose, which just provided a great space for these plague germs to multiply.
But now, the rain has basically stopped, and although the temperature is gradually warming, the air is also gradually drying, and it is not easy for germs to survive in this environment, so the risk of mutual infection is gradually decreasing, and the plague is gradually subsiding......
However, the damage caused by the plague to Guanzhong was not only germs and death, but also decay after a large population decline. In order to escape the war and plague, some people began to flee, and the people in Guanzhong gradually became thinner, and the prosperity was no longer there.
"This year's autumn harvest ......" Fei Qian pinched the fluffy beard on his chin and muttered to himself as he looked at the information.
Xun Chen was on the side, thinking that Fei Qian was asking him, so he arched his hand and replied: "Back to the prince, the land of Pingyang is gratifying, and this year's autumn harvest will definitely be good." ”
Fei Qian nodded, but said, "I mean, this autumn, I'm afraid there will be a famine in this pass......"
"......" Xun Chen was silent for a while, and said, "The minister of the court in Guanzhong, if you don't come forward to clean up...... If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be as the prince said......"
"Minister of the DPRK?" Fei Qian said with a smile, the current chaos in Guanzhong, everyone is desperately grabbing benefits, but no one has the heart to clean up the nongsang, "The Shangshu is the Marquis of Jin as the Great Honglu, and he wants him to envoy to Kanto...... The Marquis of Linjin naturally refused, saying that his leg was inconvenient, and recommended Ma Taichang to make an envoy...... Guan Zhong is arguing about this matter, who has the leisure to deal with Nongsang? ”
"?" Jia Xu was dumbfounded, then nodded and sighed.
Although Fei Qian left Pingyang for a short time, he unconsciously accumulated a lot of official business, and after returning to Pingyang, he did not have a moment to spare, so he sat in the hall with Jia Xu and Xun Chen, drowning behind the wooden copywriting.
Fei Qian said: "Trivial, all useless things, the DPRK is like this, just ignore it...... But this piece of information is quite interesting...... Cao Mengde in Yanzhou purchased grain and grass on a large scale, and the price of grain on the ground remained high......"
When Xun Chen and Jia Xu heard this, they couldn't help but stop their pens, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Cao Yanzhou wants to go to Xuzhou? ”
This is far away in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, and there is no stopping footsteps.
Before Yuan Shu plotted to take Yanzhou, but was beaten by Cao Cao, he had to move to Yangzhou, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu showed their talents, and began to lead the troops alone and fought in Jiangdong.
Cao Cao, who had gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, defeated Yuan Shu and took the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and his power rose sharply for a while. In order to digest these Qingzhou yellow scarves and obtain more sources of military rations, Cao Cao trembled his eyebrows, his small eyes aimed around, and finally stared at Xuzhou......
This is the history that Fei Qian knows, but Xun Chen and Jia Xu deduced from such a piece of information that Cao Cao was going to prepare to fight Xuzhou, and this wisdom had to be admired by Fei Qian. What do you do when you collect grain? Where will there be a lot of grain and grass when there is no harvest? Normally, the army should also rest and reduce consumption as much as possible, so Cao Cao's actions showed abnormality.
Although at this moment, for Cao Cao, there is indeed no other good place to choose, but to deduce the correct conclusion from the surface and the inside, it is not something that ordinary people can do.
Jizhou in the north, that is the territory of Boss Yuan, although Cao Cao has a little army now, but compared with Yuan Shao, there is still some gap, and although Cao Cao is no longer with Yuan Shao in his heart, he doesn't want to turn his face with Yuan Shao so early.
Yuzhou in the south has just had a big battle with Yuan Shu, and it has just been ransacked, and there is nothing good left, and further south is the territory of Jingzhou.
In the west, Henan Yin was set on fire by Dong Zhuo, and then waited by Li Dao and Guo Yan for the second time, plus I heard that there was a plague, Cao Cao didn't want to be contaminated with a little bit, there was no benefit to take, so the only direction was Xuzhou in the east......
"That's what I think...... Fei Qian nodded and said, "Cao Mengde is ambitious, not easy...... What do you think of the battle of Xuzhou? Of course, the information that Fei Qian had in hand was not sent by Cao Cao himself, but was transmitted by Fei Qian's caravan in all directions.
Now the caravan under Fei Qian's command has evolved from only one Cui family to three, each with its own direction and division of labor.
The Cui family still went to the north, Shangdang, Taiyuan, and Jizhou, and the Qiang Baishi tribe went west, to the Wuwei Tianshui area, and perhaps to part of the Western Regions, while the southern line was formed by the original Jingxiang Huang clan to travel between Jingxiang and Bingzhou.
Not to mention the north, within the scope of Fei Qian's control, it is relatively calm, and for the time being, no one dares to jump out and Fei Qian, plus Jizhou Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan have always been at war, and the demand for weapons and all kinds of leather products is relatively large, plus the Fei Qian caravan is also very good for Yuan Shao's Xu Youguo Tu and others, so Yuan Shao is generally not particularly aimed at Fei Qian.
Anyway, most of the Qiang people on the western front are active, and Baishiqiang has an innate advantage, so there is no big problem, and from time to time it can also bring some rare items, such as wine......
And the southern line, Yuan Shu, which was originally in Yuzhou, now has shifted its strategic focus to the area of Yangzhou, Jiangdong. In Yanzhou, although Cao Cao was red-eyed, he still had a little friendship, and secondly, he was also counting on this Feiqian to be able to sell more war horses here, so basically no one dared to move the caravan of the Huang clan in Yanzhou.
Therefore, Fei Qian's three-way caravan is very prosperous, and it also brings a lot of all kinds of information that Fei Qian needs.
Like this one at hand......
Xuzhou is a good place.
The pond is full of fish, the grain is full of warehouses, Tao Qian is a big coward, and he will send gold, silver and land when he meets. This is a description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but what about the actual situation......
In this turbulent era, a good old man in Romance can stay in a place like Xuzhou for so long?
Although there is no large-scale war in Xuzhou at present, there are also many indigenous scholars in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian can not only suppress the bullet in that place, but also mix well, where can there be two brushes?
Some time ago, Fei Qian also learned that Tao Qian had sent people to pay tribute to Chang'an......
This kind of behavior is very intriguing, because from the time of time, this tribute team from Xuzhou did not set off after getting the seed shao to come to power, but should have traveled before Li Dao Guo Yan took control of the imperial court and was not disturbed by Fei Qian and Chong Shao, after all, from the Xuzhou boundary in the east, it is necessary to cross the entire Central Plains, and then enter Guanzhong, and it will take a lot of time on this road.
When Kanto gathered in sour jujube before, Tao Qian said that he did not come in person because of illness, but his subordinate Zhang Chao came in a hurry......
The subtlety of this, Fei Qian only figured it out after a long time.
Later, Tao Qian saw that Dong Zhuo was finished, and Zhu Jun repaired in Luoyang, asked for help from all over the country, and hurriedly sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to support......
Then, after getting Li Dao Guo Yan to control the government, he sent an envoy to pay tribute......
If Tao Qian is a good person who doesn't know anything, a pure loyal and honest person, I'm afraid that Mr. Luo will laugh out loud in the coffin board.
In this world, you can be naïve, but don't think that others are naïve.
"Cao Yanzhou is also helpless...... Xun Chen stroked his beard and said.
Fei Qian can call Cao Cao's name in a big way, one is that he has a relationship with Cai Yong, which is relatively close, and the other is that Fei Qian's current position is over there, several levels higher than Cao Cao's so-called Fenwu general, so it is not inappropriate to call him directly, but as Xun Chen and Jia Xu, he can naturally only call Cao Cao's official position, and he can't follow Fei Qian's word Cao Cao.
Xun Chen made a start, and Jia Xu also said: "Cao Yanzhou has now obtained a large number of Qingzhou yellow turbans, and they are waiting to be fed, but the land of Yanzhou has been war-torn for a long time, and there is no reserve, if you are not looking for a place to go...... Hey, hey, hey...... I'm afraid that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will immediately turn the other ......"
Fei Qian nodded, this was something he hadn't thought through. There is this advantage in being with people with superior intelligence, and they can make up for something that cannot be considered.
It turned out that after receiving the influence of those experiences in history, Fei Qian didn't feel how difficult Cao Cao's rise was for a while, it seemed that the road was smooth, and then he changed from a little brother to a big brother, and then became a big brother......
But now that I think about it, in fact, Cao Cao is not easy.
Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is good, it is also like drinking wine after a long drought, and it is not so delicious.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao's situation is much worse than that of Fei Qianlai. Unconsciously, Binh Duong has been going through two or three years, whether it is people's livelihood or farming, whether it is trade or workshops, they are all carried out in a relatively orderly manner, not to mention anything else, just to see such a large field and lush crops on both sides of the Pingyang Canal outside the city, which is enough for the people of Pingyang to stay at ease.
There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart, even if it is to appease the displaced people one after another for these days, and then to collect Montenegro, but with such a foundation as the cornerstone, everyone still has some bottom in their hearts, knowing that even if it is difficult, as long as they survive this season, they will get better when they harvest next year.
As long as people have hope, no matter what kind of suffering, they will try their best to get through it, but Cao Cao's side is panicked, panicked......
Originally, Cao Cao's Dongjun was also harassed by the Montenegrin army, and it was not until Cao Cao took office that it improved slightly, but it didn't take long for Yuan Shu to lead the troops to attack, although this battle was won, but it also consumed the original small reserves, and now plus the Qingzhou Yellow Turban dragged the family to eat, even if there were some trophies to fight Yuan Shu, it couldn't withstand the consumption of hundreds of thousands of mouths pouring in at once day and night!
Forced dogs to jump over the wall, not to mention people.
So Cao Cao naturally set his sights on Xuzhou, which was relatively weak in the surrounding area, after all, Xuzhou had no major wars during this time, and there must be a lot of grain and grass stocks.
“…… Besides," Xun Chen pondered for a moment and said, "...... In Yanzhou, for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban...... There are many dissatisfied ......"
"Huh?" Fei Qian asked, "Could it be that the Yanzhou Shi clan doesn't want to see these Qingzhou troops?" ”
Xun Chen nodded and said: "Yanzhou has always been poisoned by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and this new hatred and old hatred can not be alleviated in one or two days?" Moreover, Cao Yanzhou ...... This Yanzhou position ......"
Xun Chen glanced at Fei Qian, and then said, "...... It's a private giveaway, how much ...... this"
Fei Qian knew what Xun Chen meant, so he nodded slightly.
The Han Dynasty is indeed a very interesting dynasty, this official position is divided into several grades, even if it is the same title, there may be some differences between the upper and lower levels because of different circumstances.
The lowest-grade ones are like Cao Cao, who were appointed by other big officials and appointed privately. This was a normal behavior in the Han Dynasty, and it was not inappropriate, because in fact, the local Taishou, the assassin history, and the state pastor all had such rights, and even the commander of a small county town also had the right to promote some people to official positions, which was not a problem. The problem is that these promoted officials still need to go through a second official appointment by the imperial court, but Cao Cao has not ......
Some time ago, there was chaos in Guanzhong, and no one cared about it.
Now during this period of time, although there are people in the imperial court, they don't have the heart to care.
So Cao Cao's appointment, in the eyes of some scholars Qingliu old stubborn, this is just a temporary official, an agent, and if he says no, it will be gone......
Similar to such a top-down private appointment, there is also a bottom-up recommendation officer. For example, if a county magistrate unfortunately contracted an illness and died suddenly, and no one was in charge, the local county officials discussed and recommended a person as the county magistrate.
So what Xun Chen means is that Cao Cao doesn't look at the name of the assassin now, holding the seal of the county guard, but there are still people in the Yanzhou clan who don't take him seriously.
Jia Xu was on the side and added: "...... In this way, Cao Yanzhou is in trouble......"
At this point, Fei Qian couldn't help but say with interest: "...... Wenhe, what do you mean by this? ”
