The weather in spring, said to change, yesterday was a cloudless good weather, today it has become a cloudy rainy day, although the rain is not very big, but it is still annoying enough, dripping, from the middle of the night last year, until now I have not listened, just like a complaining woman sitting in front of the window, teary eyes, not crying, but also from time to time convulsions twice.

It's like the homeless people who are now approaching Chang'an.

Although it is normal to say, people's walking speed will not be very slow, but after all, the displaced people are not all people, and most of the old and young, dragging their families and mouths are even slower, either there is something wrong with this, or there are some things, and they need to stop from time to time, coupled with the rain and fog, the road is also trampled by many people after a muddy road, more slippery and difficult to walk, so the overall travel speed is slow.

The homeless people were struggling in the muddy road, and the little bit of cloth or belongings was even a tattered on their backs, as if doing so could bring some psychological comfort.

During the march, although the sound of crying was heard from time to time, more people were numb and silent, subconsciously moving their steps forward, and not far from both sides of these homeless queues, were Qiang people riding Hu.

These people are holding swords, or immediately or step down, in order not to let the leather robe get wet, many people simply wear kudzu cloth clothes, even bare-chested, not to talk about any queue, also moving in the mud, everyone is muttering and scolding this ghost weather, and for the miserable homeless people on the side, these Qiang people are familiar with it, but often catch two homeless people who still have some spare strength, and put all the things that should be carried and carried by their war horses on their shoulders......

Behind these forty or fifty thousand displaced people were the 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered by Ma Chao, waving the banner of 100,000 people, and rolling forward with these displaced people.

Wanderers, naturally there is no one who understands military law, and the Qiang people also don't have Hu Qi, so the queues before and after are a little chaotic, and Ma Chao doesn't care, anyway, between the marches, but anyone who walks around and bumps into them will be dragged out and pressed into the mud, either whipped or killed, and they will all be honest.

As for military discipline or something, Ma Chao doesn't care.

Anyway, when he was in Xiliang, he was like this most of the time, as long as he could listen to the command when he went into battle, Ma Chao didn't care what kind of extra money or what kind of things these subordinates did in normal times.

As for what kind of sophisticated equipment, equipped with sufficient baggage, plus what kind of fine squad cooperation, details on the battlefield, etc., Ma Chao didn't even consider it.

There are tens of thousands of people like this in Ma Chao's heart, which is enough to sweep Guanzhong.

Even if most of these are new pawns for Ma Chao, they still have to run in with each other, but Ma Chao also believes that there is no big problem with this.

Besides, the Qiang people didn't have any special cooperation or tactics before, didn't they also fight? Anyway, while fighting, you can naturally run in and eliminate, such a troubled world, isn't it all like this?

Of course, Ma Chao is not completely ignorant of the way to lead troops, he is also like his father, some things are done by himself, such as parading back and forth in the military columns, scolding this and praising that twice, anyway, he always has to let himself appear under his subordinates at any time and at any time, so that every soldier can feel his own existence, unconsciously erect his majesty in the army, knowing that Ma Chao is always paying attention to them and commanding them.

Therefore, after two or three days of marching, this patchwork army probably has some appearance.

Bai Ma Qiang's Riwuji, Shen Wolf Qiang's Ligude, and Ran Luqiang's Lu Qian followed Ma Chao's side of the queue, watching Ma Chao run back and forth, the three of them were silent, swaying on the horse's back, not knowing what they were thinking.

Behind the three of them, there are some small Qiang tribes, such as Tsing Yi Qiang or something, but the people of these Qiang tribes have no concept of regular soldiers, for tribes like them, those who can get on horses and kill people are considered warriors, as for the rest, let's talk about it......

Ma Dai followed Ma Chao's side, looked back at the Qiang people Hu Qi on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Major General, although I haven't found anything wrong with these guys in the past two days, I always feel that something is wrong...... But I can't say it......"

Ma Chao snorted, pointed forward with his hand, and said, "Chang'an is in front of you, just three or four days' journey!" It doesn't matter what these guys are thinking about for the time being, as long as it doesn't hinder Lao Tzu from taking Chang'an! Chang'an has been obtained, and everything is strictly guarded with materials, grain and grass! As long as they hold all these grains and materials in their hands, they won't be able to make much waves......"

Ma Chao turned his head, glanced at the leaders of the Qiang people, and said with a little disdain: "These guys are all characters who see the wind and steer the rudder, aren't they just here to rob people and grab food?" If you take Chang'an, you will have money, food, and goods, otherwise these poor ghosts in front of you will be able to pull back a few more mouths to eat, what is the use? Therefore, the goal of capturing Chang'an, for us and for them, is more or less the same...... They won't refuse this piece of fat either......"

Although Ma Chao is not very old, he has some keen intuition. He also understood that he could not get the unconditional support and love of the Qiang people all at once, and he never thought that he would be able to command these white horses and Qiang's Riwuji, Shenwolf Qiang's Ligude, and Ran Luqiang's Lu Qian and other Qiang people who were not very closely related.

Therefore, what will happen to this piece of land in Guanzhong, Ma Chao doesn't care at all, anyway, under the current situation, the more chaotic Guanzhong is, the more beneficial it will be for him, and only in this way can he have the opportunity to profit from the chaos.

Ma Dai pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "The young general is right!" ”

Ma Chao smiled faintly and said, "My father...... My father said before, why do people have long legs? It is to be used to walk, to run, to move, if you only know how to stay in one place, from life to death, what is the difference between it and the grass mustard that is stuck in the soil and cannot be moved, it will be cut and eaten at any time, just like now, this group of farmers who only know how to farm in Guanzhong, isn't that the case? ”

Of course, there is also the second half of Ma Teng's words, about why people use their hands, but the second half of the sentence is inevitably a little damaging, so Ma Chao didn't finish speaking, just pointed to the homeless people traveling in front of him with a horse whip, and continued: "Look at these fools, a good free and easy person is not appropriate, but he must be willing to stay in one place for the rest of his life, as cattle and sheep as grass mustard!" Ha, you deserve to die! Come on, speed up the march, and go straight to Chang'an! Those who are backward and deliberately procrastinate are all slaughtered by Lao Tzu! ”

………………………………

In the rain and fog, Fei Qian stood on his horse.

The rain had already drenched Fei Qian's body, and it was clinging to the armor, which was very uncomfortable. Although there are also oilcloths, the oilcloths of the Han Dynasty are not as waterproof as the rubber ponchos of later generations, and the rain and fog that drifts obliquely like now are also powerless.

On Fei Qian's side, a group of cavalry traveling south is repairing, they are all veterans from Yinshan, whether it is the daily march or the control of the military discipline queue, they are already familiar with the road, basically speaking, Fei Qian does not need to worry about anything else......

These soldiers loosened the belly belt for the war horse, and at the same time took the arrowroot cloth, wiped off the eye feces and muddy water on the rainy day for the war horse, and if it was camped at night, even if there was a condition, they had to wash the war horse clean, and wipe the whole body of the war horse clean with a dry cloth. Horses can swim and walk in the shallows, but they prefer clean and dry places to rest well.

After a while, Huang Xu said on the side: "Junhou, get off the horse and rest, the front and back are all properly settled." ”

"Okay." Fei Qian looked around, looked at it, and then nodded, then kicked off the horse, threw the reins of the war horse to the guards, and then accompanied by Huang Xu, he walked under the canopy set up on the side and took off the wet big coat.

As for Pang Tong, he was already in the canopy, took off his wet robe, and was sitting on the stool, struggling to wring water......

The temporary canopy is very simple, find a flat land without water accumulation, tie a spear to the ground as a support, and then use a rope to fix the curtain to become a simple and convenient temporary canopy.

As the commander of the first army, Fei Qian does not need to talk a lot, but he must act in front.

When leaving, Fei Qian will be the first to stand up, and when resting, Fei Qian will be the last to dismount, in such a move, although it is simple, but it can let the soldiers know that there is such a commander accompanying them, and their hearts will naturally have a little more peace of mind, and a little less complaints.

To be able to do this, it is already very good, as for such a thing as the same horse spoon stirring, it can only be done occasionally, and it cannot be done every day, after all, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and whoever should do something, this is a kind of helplessness in the Han Dynasty that Fei Qian learned.

The Chinese people of the Han Dynasty, who inherited most of the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, in this era, as a superior person, it would be very scary to say thank you or say hard work at every turn in some small things......

Because these words, or all these "rites," are addressed to people who are close to equal status, and are only available to each other, rashly making these polite words and actions with those who are subordinate to the surrounding people will have no effect other than to bring about a frightened reaction.

This so-called path of equality and human rights has not even been fully reached by later generations, let alone the Han Dynasty, which is only partially free from the slavery system at present?

If you can't be courteous, you can't punish a doctor.

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, who had arrived in the canopy one step earlier, stood aside and bowed: "Junhou." ”

Fei Qian handed the wet Daqi to Huang Xu, and then beckoned, saying, "Sit, sit." How is it, can the weight of grain and grass keep up? ”

This time from Yinshan to the south, Fei Qian left Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Lie in Yinshan to be in charge of the military; transferred Chang Lin, who was originally in Yong'an, to Yinshan to take charge of civil affairs, and brought Zhao Yun and Xu Huang back.

Although Chang Lin does not have the same scheming as Jia Xu or Pang Tong, he is not bad in terms of calm and sophistication, so the threat around Yinshan has been reduced, mainly in controlling environmental sanitation, preventing the outbreak of plague, and coordinating the resettlement of displaced people for production.

Chen Rui, who was originally in Puzi County, was transferred to Yong'an City to serve as the county commander, and Puzi County was appointed as the son of the Taiyuan Wang family, who had performed well in the education of the Hu people during this period of time, named Wang Ling.

Fei Qian even wanted to transfer Cui Jun from Xihe to Taiyuan......

Although Cui Jun has not yet given a formal answer, it is estimated that the problem is not very big, after all, which one of Xihe and Taiyuan is good and which one is worse, it is a matter of clear at a glance, but there are few children of the Xihe Shi clan and many Hu people, while Taiyuan is full of Shi clans, and how Wang Wen and other families balance and regulate is just a test of their ability to govern.

As for Zhao Shang, he was too capable, so he was transferred back to Pingyang first, served as the Xue Gong sacrificial wine, and upgraded his grade by one level......

And as Cui Jun's consideration, it is just an official position officially appointed by the imperial court to an official position appointed by Fei Qian, in other words, it is officially merged into Fei Qian's faction, of course, in fact, Cui Jun was originally half of his body stepped on recently, so it is only a matter of time before all of them are merged.

As for the position of the Taishou of Xihe, Fei Qian considered letting Du Yuan take a temporary leave for a while. After all, Du Yuan has been in charge of such Feiqian logistics affairs for a while, and basically there has been no mistake, and he is indispensable to deal with the Hu people in Pingyang, and he should not feel uncomfortable when he arrives in Xihe, and the most important thing is that Du Yuan is in Xihe, Feiqian can expand the affairs of people's livelihood and politics, Hu people's education, etc., without any process loss......

Jia Qu didn't move for the time being, just removed his original "fake" word, after all, Shangdang Huguan is an important pass at the entrance and exit of Taihang Mountain, and without a more reliable person in charge, Fei Qian can't rest assured.

Xun Chen Zao is only in Pingyang, coordinating and leading the people's livelihood and political affairs in Pingyang, as for the affairs on the front line of Guanzhong, it is naturally mainly Fei Qian and Pang Tong, as well as Jia Xu......

Well, thinking of Jia Xu, there is no news that this big turtle slipped out and came back?

Sunk?

This guy.

Xu Huang said: "Thanks to the foresight of the prince and the marquis, the official road has been repaired, and now the vehicle baggage can still keep up, but this consumption is ...... If there is no supplement, it can support up to 10 days of ......"

Fei Qian nodded and said: "I have sent a horse to Zuo Fengyi, let Yuan Zhi prepare, don't worry about this, these children of Zuo Fengyi, in order to protect themselves from being looted by the homeless, these grains and grass are still very happy...... In addition, some grain and grass from Pingyang and Hedong will also be transferred, but it will take some time to turnover......"

Hedong Taishou Wang Yi saw that Dao Feiqian had cleaned up Yang Biao again, and hurriedly raised some grain and grass materials to transport it over, saying that it was a labor army, but basically everyone understood the meaning.

Xu Huang nodded, indicating that he understood. After staying in Yinshan for a while, Xu Huang also slowly got a little bit of the prototype depicted by later generations, a little less impatient and a little more calm.

"What about the scouts?" Fei Qian turned his head and asked Zhao Yundao.

"Qi Yu Monarch," Zhao Yun said, "nothing abnormal has been found...... However, the scout reported that the flow of people from Guanzhong to the east and south had increased significantly......"

Fei Qian was silent, his eyes looked at Chang'an, in order to maintain the concealment of the troops, and in order to solve the battle as smoothly as possible, Fei Qian did not play the banner with great fanfare, so the people in Guanzhong did not know that Fei Qian had gone south, but saw that the situation was not good, and it was inevitable that they would flee for their lives to avoid disaster......

At this moment, several cavalry came from the front, trampled on the road rain and cement splashed, turned over and dismounted, hurriedly came to the canopy and bowed: "Qi Yu Junhou, meet a group of twelve people in sixty miles, say that it is the old acquaintance of the prince and marquis, come to visit the prince and marquis......"

As he spoke, the scout took out the name he had brought with him and presented it.

"Old knowledge?" Fei Qian frowned and took the name, "Where did Guan Zhong get his old acquaintance?" ”

Pang Tong on the side was wearing a wrinkled robe that had just been wrung up, and he stretched his head over curiously, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, Junhou, happy events are coming......
