Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1232 The arrow is on the string

  The coalition forces in Hedong County of the Great Han Dynasty have been struggling for a while whether they want to enter or not, and whether they want to disperse. The most important reason is still Wang Yi's indecision in Hedong County.

  The ruthlessness in beating Baibo back then is hard to say how much is left now under the pampering, but General Zhengxi is not the Baibo army, everyone knows this well. Wang Yi went to battle back then, but he was actually pushed to the end. After all, if Bai Bo allowed Bai Bo to erode the territory, not to mention his prefect seal, even the future development of the family would be dusted, so it was natural to fight for his life.

  But now, um, this, especially after seeing Zheng Tai come back in a panic, Wang Yi's original determination was once again shaken.

Although Zheng Tai has repeatedly emphasized that it was not the defeat of the army, but that the guards under him had delivered the wrong order and had been severely punished, etc., but most people know that this is just Zheng Tai's ugly curtain. I can't take it seriously.

  Even a general from Shanjindu has such power, who knows if there will be any more powerful generals in Pingyang?

Zheng Tai was able to escape back, perhaps because of good luck, or because there were not many soldiers in Shaanxi and Tianjin, but in Pingyang, as far as Wang Yi knew, there were three or four thousand soldiers, which was a total of Shaanxi and Tianjin. Two or three times as much!

  What if there are still some hidden things?

  If there are fierce generals in Pingyang, how can I fight them?

  What if the general from Shanjin took advantage of the coalition forces to march northward to Pingyang, looking for an opportunity to attack Anyi?

Wang Yi was not a ruthless character in the first place, even if he was anxious by Cao Cao in later generations, he complained and wanted to leave. As a result, Cao Cao sent Du Ji to take over, and he didn't even send any soldiers. The biggest resistance Wang Yi made was just to take the seal and ribbon of the governor of Hedong, and instead of handing over to Du Ji, he went directly to Xudu.

   Therefore, after Zheng Tai's defeat, he urged Wang Yi again and again, but Wang Yi was just procrastinating, wanting to see the limelight before confirming it...

   It may be too late to get less, but at least there won't be too many risks!

The big camp under the city of Anyi stands next to the city and occupies a vast area. Just looking at the appearance, it still looks quite the same. The camp can hardly be seen from one end to the other. The tents are stretched and imposing. In the first step, a watchtower and sentry tower were set up, and even the tents in the camp were neatly arranged according to the directions of the gossip. Less, well placed in the middle.

  The arrangement of the barracks is in line with the essence of the art of war, which is very good.

  But don't look at the people in the barracks...

The soldiers in the battalion have their own subordinates. Although their respective areas are slightly divided, there is no unified time and requirements for entering and leaving. They just form their own troops according to their own customary arrangements, staggering to and fro in the camp. Go, some even squatted in one place, bragging and gossiping like they were in the fields.

Most of these soldiers have never formally served in the army, and the few who have seen blood were unknowingly misled by these tired people, or sat on the rocks in the tent, or in the lee of the camp, and narrated happily Back then, Wu Yong received a lot of admiration or admiration.

Once the big camp under the city of Anyi was set up, the walls of the city of Anyi became a foil, and even the people in the city of Anyi seemed to be leftovers. Labor, although it is useless, but with the shining spears and swords in front of you, who dares to say no?

   Later, even though the North City Gate was wide open, all the people in Anyi not only dared not go to the North Gate, but even went to the North Street.

As for the restaurants, restaurants, kilns and so on in the city, it is even blood mold. The big soldiers line up all day long, and they don’t give money. Closed one after another, dare not open again...

  This situation really made Wang Yi a little helpless, and at this moment, Wu Qiuxing came.

  At the Shilijiao Pavilion at the south gate of Anyi, Wang Yi's chubby figure stood in front of him. Not long after, he saw dust flying high from the south, and Wu Qiuxing came with his troops.

Wu Qiuxing is not young anymore, his beard and hair are a little gray, but he is still in good spirits, and his skills look good. He is currently riding a horse, with his long gray beard fluttering under his jaw, and he deliberately put it on the sides with a strap, Apparently, he was afraid of damaging this beautiful beard while riding...

The soldiers behind Guan Qiuxing held up a red flag on the left, with the inscription "Captain of Zuo Jingfu", and another big banner on the right, with the inscription "General Ningshuo", and a large building in the middle, surrounded by circles. Covered on Wuqiu Xing's head, there are other triangular tiger-striped flags with teeth on the left and right, which are majestic and majestic.

Although Guan Qiuxing is about 40 or 50 years old, his immediate skills are still very vigorous, and he is no worse than young and strong. When he saw Wang Yi and others outside the Shili Pavilion in Anyi, his voice came first before the people arrived. , Laughing loudly: "Hahaha, what kind of virtue can Xingmou, please welcome the prince!"

Even so, Wu Qiuxing didn't get off his horse immediately, but when he was twenty or thirty steps away, he stretched his wrists and restrained the healthy horse under his crotch. He slapped the horse's ear, and said in a serious manner: "You lazy bastard, you want to trap someone?"

  The healthy horse neighed twice, and turned around in a grievance before stopping.

  Wang Yi's mouth twitched, and then he smiled and said loudly: "General Wuqiu's arrival is truly magnificent! We, the people of Hedong, have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Guan Qiuxing jumped off his horse, threw the reins of the horse to the guards, bowed his hands to Wang Yi and the others, and also said with a smile: "A certain order by Duke Yang, knowing that the military situation is urgent, so people and horses don't rest, and I'm here to listen to the prince. Dispatch..."

  Wang Yi waved his hands again and again, and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just a scholar, I don't know anything about the military, I was loved by my father and elders in Hedong, and I took the soldiers and horses for a while. Now that General Wuqiu is here, I just take off this important task, and I'm at ease..."

Guan Qiuxing laughed until his gray beard trembled, and said: "The prince is diligent in government and loves the people, he is highly respected by the public, and he is prudent and promising. Duke Yang also praises him a lot. After this incident, it is rare to be promoted to a noble, a marquis and a prime minister. what…"

  The two stood together, holding four hands together, laughing, being courteous to each other, and also testing each other. Then, after repeated humility, Fang moved forward hand in hand and entered Anyi City...

  ……………

   In Bingbei Pingyang, which many people are thinking of, the cloud before the war slowly shrouded here.

The flow of ordinary people on the street has obviously decreased a lot, and the number of patrols who came back and forth to check has increased a lot, but all those who have no faults or have unknown origins have all been cleared out or invited out. Or blast out of the city.

   Near the city wall, there are also soldiers and craftsmen repairing day and night, and rolling stones, wood and various defense equipment are transported to the top of the city like flowing water.

The east and west cities outside the city were also affected. Some merchants who were not well-informed were frowning and hadn't sold out yet, but they were basically eager to sell their goods, even at the expense of their capital. Let Xun Chen take this opportunity The price was lowered and lowered, and a lot of goods were collected and filled into the warehouse in the city. Anyway, these goods can be brought out for sale again after the war is over.

  Xun Chen has been quite tired these days.

   Xun Chen felt a little slanderous about Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu's fuss, and they made such a big mess out, but after all, Xun Chen also felt that this was not a bad opportunity.

  Opportunities to eliminate hidden dangers.

   It is best to remove the abscess when it is young. Although it hurts for a while, it is always better than letting it develop and forming a huge carbuncle.

But it’s still necessary to mutter behind your back, Pang Tong has no hair on his mouth, and it’s fine if he can’t handle things firmly. You Xu Shu and Jia Xu lost your poise with a big beard. , as a result, not only snakes were drawn out, but tigers actually rushed out, and it was not a...

  If this is really a leak, let's see how you explain it to General Zhengxi.

  In fact, it is a matter of personality differences among counselors, and it is hard to say who is good and who is bad.

Xun Chen's personality tends to be calmer, and the choice of strategies is naturally biased in this direction, while Pang Tong is more or less youthful, and Xu Shu is naturally inclined to the adventurous type. Although he has improved a lot in recent years, there is still a ranger in his bones. the taste of.

  As for Jia Xu, he is completely pragmatic, as long as it is easy to use, and put aside those who are not adventurous. Anyway, it is not enough to take risks by yourself.

   Now that the pot has been knocked on, it is useless to regret and complain, so Xun Chen is thinking about how to make the best use of it...

  However, the refusal to invite Wangyi of Hedong made Xun Chen very uncomfortable.

  Everyone knows that waiting is a very tormenting thing.

   But there is something even more tormenting, that is, before the face of the cards is revealed, no one knows what cards the opponent is holding...

Wang Yi of Hedong gathered a large number of soldiers in Anyi. Xun Chen knew about this, and he also knew that although these soldiers were not as exaggerated as coming from all corners of the country, their command was complicated and uneven, so although they needed attention, they did not It's not too big a point, the point is still those things that haven't been revealed yet.

   It's like the biggest threat is the arrow on the string.

   Anyi counts one, but where will the one with arrows be?

  Xun Chen has always been a character of stability, so he naturally thinks deeply about everything.

The important craftsmen and materials in the workshops outside the city have been moved back to the mansion of General Zhengxi in Pingyang City one after another in the past few days, and some small craftsmen have been arranged to enter the military camp in the north of the city. These hands are also indispensable for the work of equipment and armor.

   Xuegong, arranged for a group of soldiers to respond.

It's not that Xun Chen didn't suggest that Cai Yong go to the city to avoid it first, but Cai Yong flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "In the past, thirty-six people went to the Western Regions, but now they burn a hundred torches to resist the Xiongnu. The only place for a big man is the battlefield." How can you shrink your head and hold your hands to see the cockroaches?", saying that since he is the high priest of the academy, the academy is like a country, how can he easily abandon Yunyun, such a generous attitude, but Xun Chen didn't know what to say it is good.

  As for General Zhengxi’s Mansion, well, this one…

  I hope there won't be any troublesome people who don't know how to live or die.

  If Pingyang City is destroyed and the army suppresses it, then there is nothing to say, but if some malicious people want to take advantage of the chaos to attack General Zhengxi's mansion, Xun Chen is very happy to see this scene.

   Among other things, the guards formed by the Mohist disciples around the mistress alone are enough for those who don't know the bottom line to drink a pot.

   By the way, General Zhengxi has been married for some years, so how come he still has children?

   It is said that a few days ago, some people sent some dancers and singers over, but the general didn't keep one or two, but divided them all up. For example, there was one in Xun Chen's family...

   Does the mistress have some opinions on this matter?

   But even if the mistress has objections, the general has no heirs, which is a problem after all. Although the general is still young now, is there any family that would think there are too few heirs?

  But now that the status of the general is high, this matter should be carefully considered.

  Well, yes...

   Xun Chen stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something.

   "Come here!" Xun Chen picked up his pen, and the penman signed another order, put it in a kit and tied it, "Send it to the military camp in the north of the city!"

   Then it will be Yinshan.

However, although there is Yu Fuluo in Yinshan Mountain, there are also Ma Yue, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Lie, and the military stronghold in the barbarian valley has basically taken shape. Even if Yu Fuluo rebelled, it would be impossible to capture it for a while .

  The question that is less sure now is...

   Xun Chen tapped on the table with his fingers, pondering in his heart.

I have been following General Zhengxi Feiqian for some time, and some habits influence each other. General Zhengxi often taps lightly on the table like this when thinking about problems. I don’t know when Xun Chen also got used to doing this. Contribute to the flexibility of thinking.

  The current basic situation is like this. Since the strategy of Pang Tong and the other three is to be carried out to the end, Pingyang must be provoked and not launched.

Although such things as hidden dangers, even if they are cleaned up this time, with the expansion of General Zhengxi's territory and the increase in personnel, they will still slowly emerge, but Xun Chen believes that this cleanup will definitely make people In the next three to five years, General Zhengxi will no longer have to worry about any internal problems...

  Wait until three or five years later, the north, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong will be connected into a line. Maybe Longxi and Shuzhong will be taken. This is from north to south, hehe...

   Then it will be a battle of things!

   Tsk tsk.

  Xun Chen smiled slightly, thought about it back and forth, and felt that it was almost the same, so he took some bamboo slips from the pile of bamboo slips on the people's livelihood and government affairs like a hill on the side to make a reply.

  Although Pingyang is about to rain, these people's livelihood and government affairs are still indispensable, and things should be done as they are.

   "Report to Dong Cao," suddenly a soldier rushed outside the hall, prostrated himself under the hall and reported, "A man came from outside the government office, calling himself Wenxi Pei, and came to pay a visit to Dong Cao!"

   After finishing speaking, he presented a famous card.

   Xun Chen was replying to the political affairs. Hearing the words of the soldiers, he couldn't help being taken aback. He stopped his pen, then put it on the mountain stand, and took the famous badge with a frown.

  Pei's family?

  Wenxi Pei?

  At this point in time, what does Mrs. Pei want to do in Pingyang?
