Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1293 Storm

  The breath of spring is rippling in Luoyang City, agitating people's minds.

  Compared to when it was in decline, Luoyang City has indeed recovered a lot, at least it is more lively. The Weishui River, which had been frozen in winter, began to flow again. The merchants who came and went were like ducks. They came along the water first, selling various materials.

   During the period of Luoyang's reconstruction, even a bundle of straw was valuable and useful, and could be sold for money. Among these caravans, the caravans of the Yang family and the Huang family were the main forces. Although Fei Qian and Yang Biao fought several battles, they seemed to have nothing to do with these caravans. They met each other, and they bowed their hands to greet each other with a smile...

  Of course, as for what to do behind the scenes, I don't know.

  The shopping mall also has the rules of the shopping mall. Some methods are like the nuclear weapons of later generations. They are prepared, but they are not used easily, because once they are used, they will basically hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-damage by eight hundred, which means even greater losses.

   The Nancheng Ferry in Luoyang City has finally restored some of the old scenes, but compared with the heyday at that time, there is still a gap. Before Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang, a large city with a population of nearly one million, the boats at the ferry were connected end to end every day, and they were all connected together, and they even had to go to other nearby ferries to disembark and transfer. .

  Although there is a gap, it is gradually developing in a better direction, isn't it?

   What's interesting is that in Luoyang City, the first and most complete ones are not the grocery stores that sell the daily necessities of ordinary people, but those restaurants and tiles that sing softly and fluently.

  Officials, it’s always like this. Occasionally go to the grassroots to experience the life of the people, that’s naturally okay, but if you go to the grassroots every day, who will handle the country’s major affairs...

  Beijing officials, in the past, always had three points of arrogance in front of foreign officials, but now, they generally have one point left. Similar to the later dynasties, the people at the foot of the emperor always like to think about some worries for the emperor. Even if they still eat rice bran at home, they still sit in the tiles outside and chat for a long time with a bowl of sour wine.

  During this period of time, the entire court situation around Heluo was finally overturned. A series of dazzling changes made many people overwhelmed. Hongnong Yang, who originally controlled the government, now seems to have fallen into the clouds, stained with yellow mud, not **** but like shit.

   And Fu Wan united with Lu Bu, with one piece of paper and one weapon, replacing the original vacancy left by Yang Biao.

  As a foreign relative, Fu Wan was granted the title of Da Sikong, was in charge of official affairs, held a festival axe, commanded all officials, and was in charge of the government, while Lu Bu was enfeoffed as a general of the guard, holding the Jinwu, and a false festival axe, in charge of Luoyang Jiumen Xiaowei.

   At the same time, there was a stir in Luoyang City, and there were some follow-up changes in personnel related to this matter.

Er Yuan is still the same, Fu Wan naturally doesn't expect Er Yuan to know his way back immediately, and gathers his soldiers to prostrate on the ground and cry bitterly to plead guilty, so on the surface, he sent an envoy to urge taxes and tribute, by the way After conferring the titles of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, there is no more content.

Yang Biao was kicked out from the center of the court, and a Taichang was sealed. Then Yang Biao resigned from office on the grounds of illness and was not accepted. Slowly faded.

  The unresolved matter is still in the west.

  Yang Biao is on the table, please represent General Fei Qian of the West and be promoted to General Hussars. The words on the table are convincing, saying that General Zhengxi has fought south and north in recent years, regained the country, opened up Yinshan Mountains, stabilized the people, governed the refugees, and so on. no brainer...

   Has Yang Biao changed his temper and is ready to join forces with General Zhengxi?

   Or take this opportunity to make a splash?

   Or is there some ulterior motive in it?

  As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.

The most interesting thing is that when it was rumored that Yang Biao was on the list, people from Hongnong Yang's family refuted the rumors, saying that Yang Biao had never been on the list, that Yang Biao didn't even take up his official position, and that he would give it back to him. Who is on the table?

   So is there any?

  Some people said yes, some people said no, but the words "Big Han Hussar General" suddenly appeared on the cusp of the storm.

The hussar generals of the big man, starting from Wei Qing's generation, are basically not given easily, and are even more precious than the generals. After all, as long as they have decent relatives, they can basically get a general as a job, but It is absolutely impossible to bear the title of Hussar General.

  According to the usual practice, although the general is said to be the army that governs the whole country, in fact, because the general has been in Kyoto for a long time, he seldom dispatches, and instead has not many troops in his hands. Sometimes it is not as powerful as Sizheng Siping.

   Therefore, in the military position, the general who has the power to command the troops is the hussar general, and the chariot general often becomes his foil. Back then, when Yuan Shao made a self-promotion, he didn't dare to lead the Hussar General all at once, which can also prove the weight of this position in the hearts of the Han people.

  However, Fei Qian has made some meritorious service over the years. Speaking of it, it seems not bad, but...

For these Heluo people near Luoyang, the dispute between the two Yuans and the Yanzhou war seem a little far away. Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not leave a deep impression on them, but only the West What happened above left a deep impression on these people. After all, the Xiqiang Rebellion started from the time of Emperor Han Ling, and it hit a whole generation or two of people!

How much food was paid back then, just like a whole bucket of water poured on the sand, only some marks were seen, and then the money and food like water disappeared without a trace, how many lives and goods were filled, one year or two , Ten to twenty years, thirty years to forty years to fill in, it seems like a bottomless pit, no matter how you fill it, it can't be filled!

  In the end, even the imperial court couldn’t hold it anymore. Some people even said that the entire western part of the Han Dynasty could be completely abandoned, cutting off this bleeding limb. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain...

  Then, the current Zhengxi general, or the future hussar general, can accomplish a career that has lasted for a generation or two. Like the hussar generals before the big man, can he shock the frontiers and guard Jingan people?

  Restaurants and restaurants were buzzing, seven or eight out of ten tables were talking about this topic.

"...Ping Baibo, the general who conquered the West, has indeed made great achievements in conquest of Yinshan Mountain. Needless to say, he is good at leading the army. Starting from scratch, running a Pingyang, this financial plan is not shallow. It is already a rare talent, but I want to touch this Things...Think about how many heroes filled it in back then...I'm afraid this Zhengxi is still not enough!"

"In my opinion, he wouldn't dare to touch such a thing if ten or eight leopards were given the courage to Zhengxi! At that time, the Northern Army was transferred in the court, and soldiers from various counties were transferred. Including the frontier army, there were at least a million Plan! I couldn’t beat Xiqiang! The food and salaries allotted by the imperial court were like mountains and seas, and the convoys of materials transported back then were sent to the horizon every day! That’s all, I couldn’t get it down, and in the end it was Make peace!"

"I said Wang Erhun, now you are talking again! Did the imperial court allocate all the food and salaries to the army? Don't everyone know this well? When the supplies were transferred back then, you organized people to go Taking turns to work hard, I also took the opportunity to make money, and when I got the usual money back, why don’t you show off here with us? Can’t make money now?”

"This... I earned my hard-earned money with my strength! Besides, my ancestors also fought **** battles for big men, so this kind of job can fall into my hands. Otherwise, ordinary **** and so on, don't even think about it! Hey! It’s not about this. What I mean is that back then there were so many people, so many supplies, so many generals, and even Sangong went to battle, but they couldn’t solve this problem. General Zhengxi is just one person now. Can it be done?"

   "...Let me tell you, General Zhengxi must be a smart man, and his wisdom is more than that. In my opinion, it was just a stance, and he let it go in the end..."

"Let it go? Who will let it go? What about the people who let it go? It's good to be the Hussar General? Anyone can play it? Don't be funny! General Zhengxi can have the kind of person he is today. Isn’t the status obtained by relying on the meritorious deeds in the frontier these years? And if you don’t get this now, wouldn’t you wipe out all your own heels? And if you get this hussar, it’s like a bottomless pit, which can’t be filled No matter how much it goes down, the family will lose all their money!"

"If that's the case, it's a pity. This General Zhengxi is really capable. Needless to say, Ping Baibo, who runs Pingyang, is said to be more lively than this Luoyang. If it is broken like this , I have to sigh a few times. Oh, what is the matter of today..."

  In Luoyang City, there was a lot of commotion, all talking about these things. The implication is that no one is optimistic about Fei Qian's ability to do this. Even if he insists on going his own way, the end is almost doomed.

  For the folks, the news in the officialdom is faster. Even before the people discuss it, there are already several versions circulating privately among the officials.

  Some people say that Yang Biao didn’t signify that Xi is a hussar at all, but he only put on a praise badge because he wanted to ease the relationship with Zhengxi, and he didn’t mention anything about hussars at all...

   Some people also say that the momentum of Zhengxi is too strong now, Er Yuan is enough to cause headaches, plus a newly rising Zhengxi, is that okay? Can the imperial court still be regarded as an imperial court? It is already reasonable to deal with these people. It is not easy for Er Yuan to start, so Zheng Xi will set an example first. With the two Yuans down, one Ping Beiyou, one Ping Nanyue, the border issues of the Han Dynasty will all be resolved...

  Hundred officials basically hold their own opinions on this issue.

  Because of the frontier problem of the big man, he has always been the most stubborn patient. Anyone with insight knows that the big man has spent a lot on these issues over the years. If he can sell some local interests this time, these border issues can be solved once and for all, then it might not be a better way.

  Actually, Fu Wan and Yang Biao should know the actual situation of the matter in the table above, but it is strange that neither of them responded directly to this matter, as if they were waiting for something...

  At this moment, in a newly opened restaurant in Luoyang City, the private rooms on the upper floor have been booked up by people, and people have specially asked people to tear down the partitions to form a transparent hall. Anyway, restaurants in the Han Dynasty are generally regarded as a mixed structure of masonry, stone and civil engineering. The first floor is basically brick and soil, and some of the outer walls on the second floor are made of bricks, and some are directly made of wood, so what kind of partition doors and walls are demolished? It's all simple, anyway, it can be put back naturally after being dismantled. Besides, those who dare to open restaurants in the capital also have this kind of wink, knowing when to put on airs and when to let go.

   Above the restaurant, there are strong men waiting all around at the moment, and the serving servants are swimming around the venue like fish, bringing up drinks and dishes continuously.

After a period of recovery, Luoyang City has not been corrupted for as long as it has been in history, and the time for Li Guo and others to rebellion is also shorter, and Yang Biao also fell a little in the early days. The strength has been rectified, so it has recovered a little bit.

  For ordinary people, maybe wine and meat are still luxuries, and they can't eat it once or twice a year, but for officials above the court, what is wine and meat worth?

  In the uppermost position in the innermost place, Fude sat leisurely, surrounded by young people, basically the sons of bureaucrats at all levels in the court, with crowns and scarves and long sleeves fluttering.

  One person attains the Tao, and the whole family is blessed. The relatives of the big man took turns to do it, and this year they came to Fu's house.

   After all, the identity is precious after all, and some things are not easy to show up. Even if you want to win someone over, you will not make a move easily, otherwise, once you are rejected, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

   Therefore, the responsibility of finding the way ahead is basically done by Volde. Of course, holding a banquet here today is not only to show his status, but also to recruit talents for Fu Shi.

When the wine was half full, Fude suddenly heard someone making loud noises in the corner, and he couldn't help but attract some attention. After a slight gesture, a confidant on the side understood, took the order and left, and returned after a while. Whispered a few words in Volde's ear.

  Fude froze for a moment, rolled his eyes, picked up the wine cup, and headed there.

   "Haha...what's so lively..." Fude smiled, pretending to know nothing, as if he was attracted by the sound.

"Come here! Brother Fu, someone recommended someone who is full of classics, great talent, great talent! Hahahaha..." A middle-aged man with the appearance of a servant said, although the words he used were good, his tone was a bit teasing Taste, "Zhou Zhang, Zhou Zifeng! Just now Brother Zhou once said that he has the art of farming and mulberry. If it is in his hands, it can increase production by at least 10% regardless of the place! Hahahaha..."

  Zhou Zhang took a deep breath, and said without changing his face: "It's too much to say that the production will increase by 10%!"

  Fude looked Zhou Zhang up and down a few times, blinked, and smiled slightly: "Brother Zhou, this matter can't be laughed at..."

Zhou Zhang had discovered Fude a long time ago. Seeing Fude speak at this time, his heart actually jumped up and down. Then he adjusted his mentality when he clasped his hands and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of farming and mulberry should be based on the country. Be frivolous, and dare not speak nonsense!"

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding, the scene suddenly quieted down. Fude looked at Zhou Zhang quietly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Good! If Brother Zhou really has this great ability, the court will definitely use it again! Come, come , Congratulations to the big man, congratulations to your majesty, drink victory!"
