  Chapter 1588 Great Han Hussar General

  Tongguan has passed, and Chang'an is just around the corner.

  The sky was a bit dark, the clouds were drooping, and the spring rain always fell, soaking it little by little, soaking everything around it and getting it wet, even the air I breathed seemed to be a little heavier.

Fu Dian thought that when it rained, the road would become muddy and difficult to walk, but he did not expect that the section of the official road near Tongguan was paved with something. The gray and black road did not absorb water very much, and some small water The puddle was not very deep, and when he walked, except for his clothes getting wet from the slanting wind and drizzle, nothing happened to the wheels getting stuck in the mud puddle, which was completely beyond Fu Dian's expectation.

When passing through Tongguan, Fu Dian felt a little surprised. After all, in Fu Dian's knowledge, Tongguan should be a military pass, just like Hangu Pass. Except for Xiao Sha, there were not many ordinary people. Yes, but I didn't expect to see many shops on the streets of Tongguan. The shopkeepers and shopkeepers shouted to solicit business. There were not only soldiers, but also many ordinary people on the streets. You could even see naked children playing on the street corners. , there are also some half-grown children holding bamboo knives and sticks, imitating fighting, running and chasing in groups, waving their fists and shouting something...

The news that Fei Qian was canonized by the Son of Heaven as a great Han hussar passed very quickly. Even Ma Yan, the general guard of Tongguan, was honored. Wearing red and hanging colors to celebrate.

   Such a situation is naturally much more lively than Xu County.

  However, you must know that the previous battle in Tongguan almost wiped out the entire population of Tongguan, corpses were everywhere, and even a plague broke out!

   Now, everything seems to have passed, and death is no longer the theme of Tongguan.

  Vigor, like weeds in spring, emerges from various gray and black colors, revealing a whole body of emerald green, the hope of a lifetime.

  Fu Dian watched silently, thinking, and he recalled that there were not many lively shops on both sides of the streets in Xu County, the few listless pedestrians on the street, and the orderly soldiers rushing past the street from time to time to go between the north and the south.

   That was a message from the front line.

  Every time Fu Dian saw the messenger covered in dust and blood, his heart tightened. Although he is not very old, he has not seen the war for a short time, and he has been able to vaguely infer some frontline conditions from the state of these messengers...

  Since Cao Sikong dispatched all his cavalry and defeated General Yuan's left-wing army, it seemed that there was no good news worth celebrating, and some were just getting more and more dull every day.

  During this process, the price of goods in the city of Xu County has also risen absurdly.

   The first thing to soar is naturally the price of food, vegetable and oil.

What?

Meat?

  Hehe, as a commoner, you still want to eat meat?

  Because of the support of the Yingchuan clan, Xu County was generally rich in supplies and stable in price. However, with the development of the war, the front line became more and more tight, and the prices in Xu County also changed day by day.

  Although the government has been posting notices that the price increase is temporary, reasonable, and expected, most people do not have such expectations. In this process, most people will still be divided into grades and grades after all. There is no change in what a very small number of people in the city should eat and drink, but many people will still be endangered by this situation after all.

  For example, Han Emperor Liu Xie.

General Yuan was not a good minister. After news spread that he intends to establish him as emperor, basically speaking, Liu Xie did not expect that if Yuan Shao won, the status of the emperor could be improved, and he might become the next For King Hejian, King Hongnong, and Liu Xie, Fu Dian, who was a member of his foreign relatives, naturally aroused a great sense of crisis.

  Therefore, this time, Fei Qian, General of Zhengxi, was conferred the title of Hussar General. Although Fu Dian was young, he could understand part of the meaning...

  Of course, there are still some people who doubt it, and even feel that Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, is not much better. The invasion and occupation of Guanzhong is somewhat of a rebellion in Xiliang, but what about Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu? Those who are good at automatic soldiers and disregard the government are not the same!

  But among the raccoons of the same feather, there are still some whiter and more flowery ones, right?

   After all, you have to try it.

  Liu Xie can't sit still, of course, including the Yingchuan Xun family.

Since the Xun family in Yingchuan left Yuan Shao, they basically put their treasure on Cao Cao. Although it seemed that Cao Cao was more promising and more in line with the needs of the Xun family in Yingchuan, it was unexpected that Cao Cao's development Although it is good, there is another one that develops faster than Cao Cao and is more jaw-dropping...

  So among the Xun family, people gradually began to mention Xun Chen's name, which had been tacitly not mentioned before. Although Xun Yu didn't want to, he was helpless, so Xun You went with him.

At Hangu Pass, Fu Dian saw a group of sturdy cavalry under Tai Shici, but at Tongguan, he saw a place that was different from ordinary passes. A kind of exuberant vitality...

  Fu Dian couldn't figure it out.

  The closer we get to Chang'an, the more we don't understand.

Xu County is somewhat lively, but ten miles away from the city is a desolate place, but there should be some distance from Chang'an. It can even be said that starting from Tongguan, there are many villages along the way. Distributed, there are farmers busy in the fields in the light rain, and even a lot of cattle can be seen in some places!

  Fu Dian also specially sent someone to ask, some of these farming cattle belonged to the village, and some of them were leased by the government for farmers to use!

  Fu Dian's eyes widened. One must know that in Xu County, there are still many officials who don't even have a carriage and can only ride in an ox cart! And in these places around Chang'an, there are still surplus cattle that can be released to rent farm cattle!

   Aren’t you afraid that these farmers will use up their rented cattle?

   Ah, no, this question is not the point. The point is when did Chang’an become like this?

   Isn’t Chang’an in turmoil and sparsely populated?

   "Brother Gongda," Fu Dian couldn't bear it anymore, he found Xun You and asked, "Did the Sanfu in Guanzhong be so prosperous in the past?" Fu Dian wondered if he was young and remembered it wrong?

  Xun You smiled slightly, with a bit of bitterness in his smile, and said in a low voice: "The Sanfu in Guanzhong was originally uninhabited for thousands of miles... It's just that in these years... Shandong wars have become more or less frequent..."

  Fu Dian widened his eyes, "So, the people here...are all...from Shandong?"

  Xun You nodded silently. Along the way, Xun You even faintly heard some country songs sung by farmers and women, which seemed to be the accent of the Yingchuan generation in Yuzhou...

  War, isn’t it about population, money and food?

   Now seeing the current situation, even Xun You felt a little panicked.

  Maybe back then...

   "But, but how did these people enter Guanzhong?" Fu Dian said in confusion, "I don't think there are many refugees between Heluo?"

Xun You pointed to the two north directions of the guide, and said softly: "One passes through Hanoi, and the other takes Wuguan... I heard that Zhengxi, uh, General Hussar's righteous place is set up along the mountain road. Withdrawing money and food..." Heluo and Jizhou and Yanzhou are fighting together, and even Yuzhou and Yangzhou have been affected, so what kind of refugees would go in the middle?

   "What?" Fu Dian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Giving money and food directly to the refugees? How much food does it cost? This... this... this... isn't this refugee a bottomless pit, how can he have so much money and food?"

Xun You also frowned and shook his head, "I don't know...maybe the hussars are well-endowed..." Xun You sometimes thinks about it, no wonder the refugees filled up the Guanzhong so quickly. If he were a refugee, he would definitely rush here Here we go...

   "The warehouse is abundant..." Fu Dian was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Since General Hussar's territory is so rich, why didn't he offer it to His Majesty..."

   Xun You's eyes moved, but he didn't answer.

In fact, the refugees did not consume as much as Fu Dian Xunyou imagined, because the living standards of the refugees were extremely low. It is common for them to eat tree bark and eat Guanyin soil when they are very hungry, or even worse, so Fei The latent contribution is not so much as unlimited, but the guidance and organization in a planned and step-by-step manner, so that these refugees can get tools for self-help and hope of survival during the journey, which will naturally allow the refugees to persevere and reach Guanzhong.

  Why a large number of people often die on the road of migration, food occupies part of the factors, but a large part of the reason is confusion and despair.

No one stores food, and they eat it immediately when they find it. The stomach that has been hungry for too long eats too much and has diarrhea, and then continues to be hungry before finding the next food point. Extermination of nature is a common thing.

With goals and production tools, coupled with the organization and leadership joined by soldiers, refugees who have restored order can spontaneously fish and hunt along the way, just like refugees without fishing nets can only either catch them with their hands or use them. Sticking with wooden sticks is inefficient and yields little, while refugees with tools can not only eat a meal, but also take some away. These are two completely different concepts.

  Afterwards, Fu Dian gradually lost the desire to explore and question, and leaned on the scepter alone, in a daze in the canopy car...

  Sparse light rain, I don't know when it stopped.

  The spring breeze teased the long banner on the canopy car, but the wet and heavy long banner was like a fat otaku, in front of the light Luo Li, he desperately wanted to grab it, but he couldn't catch anything.

Walking and walking, when approaching Chang'an, cavalrymen belonging to Feiqian came from Chang'an from time to time in twos and threes. After saluting by the roadside, one of them went back to report, and the rest followed the queue, letting the whole of Fudian The line is getting longer and longer.

These cavalrymen did not carry any weapons, but they basically carried some flags of various colors. After arriving in the queue, they tied the flags and flags on the poles and held them high, adding a bit of momentum to the ranks. .

  The angels came and went out to welcome Baili.

This is a kind of etiquette, but it doesn't mean to bring people and horses to set up a table in a hundred miles, put a few incense sticks on it, and then wait, how long do you say, those few incense sticks still stand upright, and you don't burn any more …

   After all, it is to welcome, not to wait!

As more and more cavalry followed the formation, the erected banners were like forests, hunting and moving in the air. The sand on the road began to tremble at some point, and immediately there was a deep and thunderous sound of horseshoes It came from afar!

  The Great Han General is here!

   No, it should be the Hussar General of the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian, here we come!

Fu Dian's queue had stopped, and they all looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance. In the smoke and dust, a three-color flag rushed out, and immediately more people appeared, majestic, as if the sky was rising. The clouds on the sky vibrated, and hurriedly scattered to get out of the way.

  The sun shone down and shone on the brightly armored Fiski cavalry, shining a brilliance, making Fu Dian involuntarily put his hands in front of him...

It seems that among the countless cavalry, a group of Fei Qian's personal guards are actually wearing darker and darker armor, but they are like a black hole that attracts everyone's attention, and the one in the middle is naturally the one that was released by the big man. General Hussars, Fei Qian!

The sound of horseshoes has gradually become the only sound in this world, just like the tricolor flag has become the only symbol here, and the neat rows of cavalry armor are complete, like a whole, like a giant steel beast Coming at a fast gallop, under the surging and jumping armor, is the galloping blood, so that at this moment, even if you stand watching from the sidelines, you can't help but tremble all over, and your blood is steaming!

  Fu Dian trembled a little, he seemed to see in the Guanzhong land, in the yellow sand, like rows of steel tides pulsating and slapping the shore, coming overwhelmingly, rushing away! The earth trembled under the trampling of horseshoes, and the wind and clouds shattered under the fluttering battle flags!

   This is the cavalry of the Han Dynasty?

   This is the army of the big Han hussars!

  Countless eager, adoring, respectful, jealous, resentful, or complicated eyes are all gathered in one place at this moment!

  If there is warmth in the gaze, the air around Fei Qian's body may be burned directly!

  The two sides approached, and the horseshoe slowed down.

   I don’t know who it is, and I don’t know where it started. Suddenly someone shouted:

   "Hussars of the big man! The mighty man!"

  Everyone seemed to be shouting towards the sky, and it resounded through the heaven and earth for a while, with high spirits to the extreme. Needless to say, Pang Tong, Zhang Liao and others who came with Fei Qian, even Xun You and Yang Xiu beside Fu Dian looked at Fei Qian at this moment with unconcealable envy in their eyes...

   "Hussars of the big man! The mighty man!"

  Great generals are generally awarded to first-class relatives, such as He Jin of the Empress Dowager He, generals of chariots are generally awarded to second-class relatives, such as Dong Guiren’s Dong Cheng…

  So normally speaking, in the Han Dynasty, Hussar General was almost the highest title a lieutenant general could achieve!

  In this very moment...

Whether it is a soldier or a general, whether it is a citizen of Guanzhong or an outsider, everyone seems to be obsessed. Looking at the rolling Han cavalry, looking at the tricolor flag flying high above the heads of the Han cavalry, Of course, there is also the figure of the tall and straight young man under the banner!

  During this time...

The clouds that had originally enveloped the surrounding fields receded, the wind was light and the clouds were swaying, and the spring sun was like a rainbow, shining with warmth and hope on the land of Guanzhong, on the banners and armor, and on the one in the middle of the queue with On the face of a smiling young man like in spring!

  In this instant...

From Bingbei to Guanzhong, from Guanzhong to Sichuan and Sichuan, from east to west, from south to north, a voice, a name, resounded over the sky and the land, like a spring thunder, awakening the deep sleep The land, evoking the rolling hills, agitating the vigorous forest, blowing the endless grassland and Zhuanghe...

  Countless people looked up, countless people raised their arms and shouted, and countless people shed tears!

   "Hussars of the big man! The mighty man!"
