028 Preparation
Chen Cang's situation is indeed not optimistic, for the upcoming Liangzhou rebellion, Gao Fei still has to make some positive responses, he doesn't want to mix in this poor place, he wants to use this mastery of historical knowledge to successfully stop the rebellion in Liangzhou, and then rely on his real strength to get a Taishou or a state pastor, he will no longer believe in such a greedy villain.
On the second day of taking office, Gao Fei took Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan out of the city and walked westward, first inspecting the terrain and terrain, and then coming up with a positive way to deal with it. In his impression, there was a man named Hao Zhao in the Three Kingdoms, who used a Wei army of 3,000 people to defend Chen Cang and resist the army of more than 100,000 led by Zhuge Liang, he believed that he could also do it, and he could do it even better than Hao Zhao, after all, he was a modern person, and all kinds of knowledge were far beyond the ancients.
The city of Chencang is built on the mountain, sandwiched between two mountains, and the area in the city is also excavated, so it cannot be compared with the city on the flat ground, which is why it is so small. Out of the West Gate, Gao Fei and others galloped out of Erli along the mountain road to the west, and then looked back at the West Gate of Chencang City, but saw that the West Gate was like a checkpoint stuck between the passages of two mountains, and the north and south sides of the city were cliffs, and it was impossible for ordinary people to climb up to peep at Chencang, which was also his uniqueness.
Gao Fei looked around again, the mountain road is not wide, and the horses can walk six side by side, which restricts the situation of the siege of the army to a certain extent, and it is no wonder that Zhuge Liang's more than 100,000 horses can't capture a Chen Cang guarded by 3,000 people.
After carefully looking at Chen Cangcheng's advantageous geographical location, Gao Fei's heart finally had a bottom, he smiled, and said to Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan: "Let's go, look ahead." ”
Gao Fei took Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan along the mountain road all the way to the west, and the road became wider and wider, only when he reached the vicinity of Chencang City, the road suddenly became narrower, the more he looked at the more confident he became, thinking that if there were two thousand soldiers, even if hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebels came to attack, he could also defend Chencang City.
Along the way, there were also several small villages where people gathered and lived, the large ones were 100 households, and the small ones were more than 10 households, and when they thought that these people on the west side of Chencang might become victims, they decided to move these people to the east side of Chencang first.
At noon, Gao Fei returned to Chencang City accompanied by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, and as soon as he entered the county office, Gao Fei saw Ma Jiu standing with a strong man.
When Ma Jiu and the strong man saw Gao Fei coming, they hurriedly bowed: "See Master Hou!" ”
Gao Fei glanced at the strong man, five big and three thick, with a Chinese face, with a few wisps of green beard on his chin, twenty-three or four years old, the official uniform on his body looked a little narrow, it seemed that he couldn't cover his broad chest, and some black chest hair came out of the neckline, about one meter eighty-five tall, standing there let people know that he was a vigorous person at a glance. After Gao Fei looked at it, he asked, "Are you a county lieutenant?" ”
The strong man nodded and bowed: "Villain Huaxiong, see Hou Ye!" ”
"Huaxiong?" Gao Fei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Guanzhong, he met Hua Xiong, and he was rightly his subordinate, how to say that he was also a famous figure, if it weren't for him, how could Guan Yu become an instant hit.
"Yes Hou Ye, the villain had something at home yesterday, so he didn't come to greet Hou Ye, and I ask Hou Ye to forgive me!" Hua Xiong is quite polite, and he is also respectful to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei took a step forward, walked into the hall, and said to Hua Xiong and Ma Jiu: "Come in, I have something to tell you to do." ”
Entering the hall, Gao Fei sat on it and said loudly: "Hua Xiong, Ma Jiu, I have something to do here, if you do it well, you will be rewarded." ”
Hua Xiong and Ma Jiu were overjoyed, and immediately: "Although Master Hou commands, I will not give up until I die!" ”
Gao Fei cleared his throat and said loudly: "Within ten days, the two of you want to move all the people west of Chencang City to the east of the city, and recruit 2,000 villagers, is there a problem?" ”
Hua Xiong and Ma Jiu looked at each other, their faces showed embarrassment, but they didn't dare to disobey, they were just stunned, and they didn't answer, and they didn't answer.
"If there is a problem, speak out, and I will find a way to solve it!"
Hua Xiong said: "Lord Qiyu, there is no big problem with migrating the people, the people here don't like to live there, and they can't wait to move to the east of the city." Merely...... It's just that recruiting 2,000 villagers is tricky......"
"What kind of tricks?"
Hua Xiong said: "Master Hou, there are only 1,000 households in the entire Chen Cang, and there are only more than 4,000 people, most of whom are old and weak, women and children, even if there are strong ones, they may not be willing to participate in the township bravery...... Hou Ye, his subordinates dare to ask, I don't know why Hou Ye recruited 2,000 township warriors? ”
"This place is very close to Liangzhou, once Qianghu rebels, when the power is quite large, it will attack Sanfu, and Chen Cang will also bear the brunt, I want to be prepared, recruit village warriors, train into soldiers, and also defend Chen Cang." Gao Fei Lang said.
Hua Xiong said: "Hou Ye, please your subordinates are incompetent, you can't share your worries and solve problems for Hou Ye, two thousand township warriors are too many, let alone ten days, even two months may not be able to recruit in the right wind." Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Goofy asked hurriedly.
"Unless we recruit in Liangzhou, we may be able to recruit 2,000 villagers." Hua Xiong said slowly, "There are many people in Liangzhou who live together with Qianghu, the people are fierce, everyone practices martial arts, the harvest in Liangzhou has not been good in the past two years, many people have become sabber hands, and they take care of the homes of the rich people in the dock fort, if Hou Ye really wants to recruit two thousand villagers, he can recruit them in Liangzhou, and as soon as he recruits here, he can put into battle there, which is much better than Hou Ye retraining two thousand ordinary people." ”
After Gao Fei heard it, he felt that this idea was very good, a bit of a mercenary, he thought that he didn't have too much money, thinking that he spent sixty or seventy million dollars to buy this broken place and had a belly of fire, if he had learned smarter at that time, and didn't spend so much money, but left a little, maybe it would have been more than enough to use those money to recruit two thousand mercenaries. Thinking of this, he asked Hua Xiong: "How much is a sabre bearer?" ”
Hua Xiong replied very heartily: "Ten thousand yuan per person per month." ”
"Ten thousand dollars?" Gao Fei was very surprised, because he knew that one pound of gold in the Han Dynasty was equal to 10,000 five-baht coins, and one person and 12,000 people were 20 million yuan, that is, 2,000 catties of gold, and the rebellion might take two months to come.
Hua Xiong saw Gao Fei's surprised expression, so he smiled and said, "Master Hou, in the past, maybe everyone only needed five hundred yuan, but now it is different from the past, now in order to fill his stomach, the sabre hand in Liangzhou is this price!" ”
Gao Fei waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I know, you go down first, first move those people from the west of the city to the east of the city, this matter of Xiangyong, I will talk about it later." ”
Hua Xiong and Ma Jiu said in unison: "No! Master Hou, I'll retire! ”
Gao Fei said: "Huaxiong, work hard, follow Benhou in the future, I won't treat you badly." ”
Hua Xiong nodded happily, then turned to leave.
"Hey!"
Zhao Yun heard Gao Fei sigh heavily, and said, "Master Hou, my subordinates think that Master Hou doesn't have to worry about the affairs of Xiangyong. ”
Gao Fei let out an "oh" and looked at Zhao Yun in surprise, he ignored the tiger general beside him, and asked, "Do you have better attention?" ”
Zhao Yundao: "Master Hou is from Longxi, Liangzhou, right?" ”
Gao Fei nodded and agreed, "Yes, does this have anything to do with recruiting Xiang Yong?" ”
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "From Chencang to Longxi, the distance is not far, since the Hou Ye is from Longxi, why not return to his hometown in fine clothes?" In this way, wouldn't Hou Ye be able to recruit warriors from his hometown, and all the people raised were Hou Ye's fellow clansmen, so they wouldn't ask Hou Ye for money, right? ”
Gao Fei was pointed out by Zhao Yun like this, and suddenly realized, and after being happy, he slapped his thigh, immediately stood up, took Zhao Yun in the crook of his arm, and said happily: "Zilong, you have helped me a lot, why didn't I think about it?" ”
Zhao Yun said modestly: "Hou Ye has won the award, even if his subordinates don't say it, Hou Ye will think of it." ”
Gao Fei laughed and said to Xiahoulan: "Go and call Liao Hua and Lu Heng!" ”
Xia Houlan said "No" and immediately ran out of the hall, and when he came back, Liao Hua and Lu Heng also followed.
"I don't know what happened to Master Hou's subordinates?" Liao Hua and Lu Heng bowed in unison.
Gao Fei said: "I'm going to go on a long trip, everything in Chen Cang will be temporarily handed over to the two of you to deal with together, you must do your best, in addition to the important matter of migrating the people, you must also rectify the gang of officials, the county lieutenant Huaxiong is a talent, how close you are." ”
Liao Hua and Lu Heng responded together: "No! ”
Gao Fei said to Xiahou Lan: "You go and let Pei Yuanshao and Bian like to prepare and return to their hometown with me tomorrow." ”
Xia Houlan asked, "Can my subordinates go with Hou Ye?" ”
Gao Fei said: "Of course, you and Zilong will go, and Liao Hua, Lu Heng, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, and Fei An will stay in Chen Cang." ”
Xiahou Lan said with a smile: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will go and order them." ”
Liao Hua and Lu Heng heard Gao Fei say the word "homecoming", so they asked together: "Does Master Hou want to go back to Longxi?" ”
"Well, let's go home and take a look, and recruit some soldiers by the way." Gao Fei has his own plans, taking Pei Yuanshao with him is to facilitate his eating and drinking on the road, who makes Pei Yuanshao's cooking skills good, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan are now his bodyguards, of course they have to take them away, and with Bian Xi, it is not a deep meaning.
