Chapter Twenty-Nine: Go to Luoyang Again
Outside Beihai City, a large number of migrant workers are lying in the newly excavated moat, hiding from the bitter sun overhead. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoThe petty officers who supervised the work were also lazy, and some even simply lay down in the moat where no water had yet been drawn.
As far as they are concerned, as long as everything is done according to the schedule, they don't mind these migrant workers being lazy.
"And the sun in this sky is almost dead, how can you do it in this weather?" a small officer muttered as he poured some water into his bowl.
It's just that when he looked at the migrant worker next to him, there was a faint hint of caution in his eyes.
Because these are not just simple people, but the Yellow Turban captives who were captured after the defeat of the previous war. Even during this time, the captives behaved with great honesty, and the sergeants in charge of the guards maintained the most basic vigilance.
It has now been several months since the last large-scale attack by the Yellow Turbans, and in the time it has been, the captured Yellow Turbans have been settled in the North Sea. A small part of them were added to the army, and the rest were the kind that existed as people ββββββ didn't need money.
Since being classified as a civil husband, these yellow scarves have never rested, first digging canals, and then building bridges and paving roads, and in the past few months, they have done even more than the previous Beihai County Shoujia together, and Yan Shao's reputation in Beihai County is not without reason.
However, Yan Shao has not forgotten what the biggest threat to Beihai is, and now the yellow turbans in Qingzhou counties are flooded, especially the three counties of Pingyuan, Le'an and Beihai, which are simply the hardest hit areas of the yellow turbans, even if Yan Shao does not take the ordinary yellow scarves seriously, the hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves are still pressed on the top of the head like mountains, especially in recent times, the yellow turbans in the plains and Le'an have moved frequently, and many counties have been looted, although the city has not been breached, but it is enough to sound the alarm.
It was in view of this that Yan Shao recalled all the people who were originally used to dig the canal, and instead dug a long moat in the Beihai Waiwai.
Sun Guan accompanied Yan Shao to inspect for a long time, the scorching sun was scorching, although his muscles and bones were strong, and it was in his prime, but the heat from the top of his head, a layer of sweat was sunburned on his forehead, and the armor was even more muddy, and he glanced back at the guards, one by one, almost like him, some were even more unbearable than him, Sun Guan smiled bitterly and approached Yan Shao's side. "Lord, you're almost on patrol, the sun in the sky is very hot, why don't we go back for the time being, and come back tomorrow morning..."
After a pause, Sun Guan spoke again. "Besides, the yellow scarf is still in Le'an and the plains, it is estimated that it will not come to our Beihai for a while, so there is no need to be so anxious..."
After Sun Guan finished speaking, Yan Shao raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
If Sun Guan just feels that the heat is very uncomfortable, then Yan Shao really feels that the heat is unbearable, and in terms of body bones alone, Yan Shao is much worse than Sun Guan, a fierce general.
But listening to his words, Yan Shao still shook his head. "Otherwise, Nale'an and the plains have already been plagued, especially outside the city, and if you want to break through the city, even if you succeed with the ability of those yellow turbans, the loss will be amazing. I'm afraid that it won't be long before those yellow turbans will target us, if those yellow scarves are only three or five thousand or even ten thousand soldiers and horses, I am not afraid, but there are 100,000 people in this Qingzhou yellow scarf, and the state family is a useless person, just with my thousands of military horses in Beihai, I am afraid..."
"Alas..."Hearing this, Sun Guan also sighed. It's hateful that Jiao only knows how to talk on weekdays, and when he encounters trouble, he only knows how to ask God for protection, if it weren't for him, how could this Qingzhou be eroded to such a state. β
"What's the use of talking about this now, who told us to have such a living treasure-like thorn history..."Speaking of Jiao He, Yan Shao also felt helpless.
In his impression, almost none of the princes at the end of the Three Kingdoms were easy to deal with, even if it was a dry bone in a tomb like Yuan Shu, there was a Ji Ling under his command, and there were more than 100,000 military horses under his command, and he was once the most powerful prince in the early Three Kingdomsββββββ no matter how wasteful this person was, at least in the early stage, his strength was even stronger than Yuan Shao.
But now that there is such a history of thorns who only know how to pray to God and worship Buddha, even Yan Shao is a little dumbfounded, but fortunately, Beihai has been very prosperous by him during this time, and even those families are very supportive of him.
Just when Yan Shao sighed in his heart, suddenly a person walked in quickly.
Yan Shao looked over, and it turned out to be a subordinate of the county guard's mansion. "What's the matter?"
"Someone from Luoyang sent a letter to your lord!" The servant hesitated for a moment, then handed over a letter.
At first, Yan Shao was a little strange why someone would send a letter to him. But after glancing at the signature on the letter, his face suddenly changed.
Flipping through the letter, Yan Shao read it carefully, and his face changed slightly.
"Lord, what's going on?" Seeing that Yan Shao's expression was a little ugly, Sun Guan raised his head and asked.
Several other people also looked at it, not understanding what made Yan Shao's expression change so much.
After sorting out the news on the letter in his mind a little, Yan Shao frowned. "My relationship in Luoyang just told me that someone bribed Zhang Rang and others in the hope of transferring me from Beihai..."
"What?" Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Although it has not been long since they arrived in Beihai, in fact, they have already regarded this place as their home, and now they heard Yan Shao say that some people are also eyeing this place, and even want to drive them away, how can they not be surprised...
However, Yan Shao didn't have time to pay attention to their reactions, but carefully read the contents of the letter again.
The letter was secretly sent by a subordinate next to He Jin, who was originally piggybacked by Yan Shao when he bribed He Jin, but he didn't want to play a role now.
The letter was a little vague, but Yan Shao could understand the meaning. Since Yan Shao made Beihai a little prosperous, some people have taken a fancy to Beihai County. After all, at this time, except for some states and counties in the south, basically all of them were plagued by the yellow turbans, but the south at this time was definitely not the kind of economically developed place in later generations, it can be said that at least before the Tang Dynasty, China's center of gravity was in the north, if you can find a more stable county in Qingzhou, it is definitely a pleasure.
Yan Shao doesn't have any backers in Luoyang, and he can barely be regarded as Huangfu Song, but even Huangfu Song himself doesn't have much influence on this kind of thing.
"It seems that I need to go to Luoyang in person..."Packing up the letter a little, closing his eyes and pondering, Yan Shao said in a deep voice.
