Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2157 The dream will wake up

  Long nights without sleep.

  In the yamen of Hushi Mansion, the lights are brightly lit.

  Pang Tong stood in the hall, facing Sanfu's map, sneered a few times, and then immediately ordered: "Go and tell Pao Ding to slaughter pigs and sheep after dawn, and prepare to reward the soldiers!" 』

  The guard standing outside the hall responded loudly, and then went down to deliver the order with some excitement. Although there is some chaos inside and outside the city, seeing Pang Tong's attitude, these guards and servants in the hussar mansion are naturally excited.

  In these years, Pang Tong’s most important job in Guanzhong is to prepare for the next battle. Now that the end is coming, the opponent Dalong is powerless, how can he be unhappy?

   To a certain extent, as some of the rulers at the top of the Han Dynasty, whether it is Cao Cao, Fei Qian, Pang Tong or Xun Yu, they are actually aware of the big problem with the talent strategy that the Han Dynasty has implemented for a long time.

The original intention of the system of filial piety and integrity is not bad, but now the filial piety and integrity mentioned are all products with the name of "provincial excellence, ministerial excellence, national excellence", but in fact it is a product of "provincial concern, ministry concern, national concern". False propaganda, expanding the curative effect, and once these things are in place, they are busy recovering the advertising fees they invested before...

Therefore, both Fei Qian and Cao Cao have changed to a talent system based on talent promotion, either explicitly or secretly, but this does not mean that both Fei Qian and Cao Cao have entered the stage where talent is the first, but it is different from the previous Dahan talent system. In comparison, more emphasis is placed on judging people by their talents, and don't listen to advertisements to see the curative effect.

Hussar General Fei Qian and Pang Tong have communicated and exchanged many times. It can be said that Pang Tong is the person who understands what Fei Qian wants to do best. What he said is correct, which is why Pang Tong, although he was born as a son of a gentry, has more or less become a fan of Fei Qian and changed his job to become a gravedigger of the old gentry.

  A system cannot be simply distinguished by good or bad. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the recommendation system was once a sharp weapon to break the power of the old aristocracy.

Because at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, although Liu Bang was the lord of the Han Dynasty in name, in fact, the counties and counties in various places were not completely counties, but places that Liu Bang could not control at all. An important reason for enfeoffing the princes of various places and then constantly cutting down the vassals.

  The purpose of enfeoffment is to control the place and divide the old nobles, but the dragon slayer has become a dragon after all, and he will cut down the vassal again.

After two or three generations of hard work, hard-working parents tend to raise a lazy child. The centralization of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally approached the peak of the Han Dynasty. With one order, the whole country was mobilized. He pointed out that no one dared to disobey, but it's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't control it, and he collapsed in the later period, and he implemented some weird policies, selling titles, white deer coins, etc. Anyway, how to die, which caused the credibility of the central court gone forever...

  So much so that at the moment of the big man, people from all over the world do not play with the central court. On the surface, it seems that the central court is the squad leader and everyone is a good classmate, but in fact, who can the squad leader control? What can you do? Eat and sleep, or pocket money?

  If you want to unite the whole class again, there are only four words "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages".

If you want to pry open the local gentry system that has been torn apart in the past three or four hundred years, relying on a few laws and regulations is far from enough. It can hold back the generals of the sky, and eliminate the corruption of the great man!

   Cut off foreign aid, trigger civil strife, and then subdue the Guanzhong Sanfu gentry with the power of a lion fighting a rabbit! And all the opponents who jumped out, justifiably eradicated! In this way, the obstacles will be cleared for Huqi to advance in the next ten or twenty years!

  The night wind was turbulent, causing the banners in the hussar's mansion to flip violently, as if they were about to rise into the sky and go straight to the sky.

Pang Tong stood with his head up and his hands behind his back, looking through the night sky, he seemed to see countless soldiers holding torches high, marching under the Hussar battle flag, their murderous aura stirred up waves in this world !

  …ヽ(`З’)…

When Pang Tong in the Hussar's Mansion ordered the manpower prepared from various places to mobilize, some of these big gentry families in the Sanfu of Guanzhong hurriedly ran in the night to arrange their own arrangements, and some were still asleep. Sleeping in a dream of self-made.

  Even if Pang Tong planned secretly, it is impossible for there to be no traces. In fact, there are already signs of many things, but most people have not noticed...

  Taking the caravans around Chang’an as an example, the caravans around Chang’an have decreased significantly during this period. Even after the peace talks between Fei Qian and Cao Cao, it seems that they have not recovered. There are only some caravans from the Cui family and the Pei Zhen family.

  Of course, this doesn’t seem to be a big deal. After all, the places are chaotic and the caravans come and go, which is normal, but it is the first time that they are so rare. But the problem is that most people focus on the rising commodity prices, and don't pay much attention to the reduction of caravans.

It is undoubtedly difficult to catch fish directly in flowing water, such as a river, without specific tools, but if the water flow is cut off, the water volume is slowed down, the water level drops, and then fish are caught, It's relatively simple.

  In the past, there were a large number of caravans, and there was a large flow of people coming and going, as if the water flow was fast and the water surface was high. Of course, it was more difficult to see the fish's trajectory clearly, but now...

  Qi Yi naturally did not notice this problem.

  In the past few days, he has stayed at home steadfastly. All his family members are equipped with weapons, and even recruited some so-called strong men to be raised in the outer courtyard. Civil chaos is a double-edged sword, if you are not careful, you will cut yourself, but if you use it well, it is also a sharp weapon against the central court...

  The emperor is the representative of all the people in the world and enjoys the support of all the people. Therefore, the thing that the emperor fears most is not the middleman pumping money at both ends, but the rebellion of the people. And once the people rebelled, it was impossible to quell the emperor's family alone, and they could only rely on middlemen. Therefore, civil unrest can not only prove that the emperor made a huge mistake in certain policies, but also demonstrate the importance of middlemen.

   It’s like the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out after the Dang Gu, and then Emperor Han Ling had to completely deny the Dang Gu, restore many people’s official positions, and finally put down the rebellion, and then all scholars in the world praised Huangfu Song...

  Queyi wanted to become the second Huangfusong. Que Yi felt that the "Juetian Law" was too harmful to the gentry, and similarly, if Queyi had won the victory against the "Juetian Law", it would naturally be close to being praised by Huang Fusong back then.

   Chaos has been sown, all that remains is to wait.

  Qi Yi and others have carefully calculated that this move is risky, but it is worth a try.

   It’s like not smashing the pot twice, how can it reflect the level of a tinker? If you don't knock out a few more cracks while the master is not paying attention, how can you have any reason to ask for more benefits?

   What's more, my family is just buying and selling. Even though the price of food is indeed a bit high, but there are still people who are willing to buy it? If someone buys it, it means someone can accept the grain price. Since someone can accept it, why can't the grain price be set higher?

  Although the truth, or fallacy can generally make sense, but after nightfall, I still can't sleep peacefully. After finally lying on the sidelines and closing his eyes, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps after a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his housekeeper coming to the front of the room with a face full of panic.

  『What is it? ’ But Yi didn’t care about putting on socks, stepped on the wooden floor, creaked and walked out, “Quickly tell me, what’s the news? 』

  The steward reported in a low voice: "My lord...it's a big deal, it's not going well..."

  Queyi only felt his head buzzing, feeling a little dizzy, and almost fell down. After a pause, he took a deep breath and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" 』

  The steward prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head, "My lord... After nightfall, Chang'an is blocking the intersection, and there are many soldiers... It seems that there seems to be a team coming here..."

"what? ! ’ But Yi couldn’t believe his ears, ‘Who is coming? Where did Chang'an Sanfu come from? But the hussars are back? ! No, no! So many people are staring at Wuguan Lantian, if the hussars are turning around, how can they be ignorant? What's more, there is no order to mobilize soldiers in the surrounding counties... Well, where did these soldiers come from? 』

   "This, this... small... small, I don't know..." The steward lowered his head and answered anxiously.

Que Yi and the others dared to stir up civil unrest behind their backs, because they felt that all the hussars and horses were outside and would not be able to turn around for a while. There was a time difference. When the hussars returned, the chaos would have spread, and then the hussars It must be like the choice made by Emperor Han Ling when he faced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Either the entire political foundation would burst, or he could only compromise...

  Of course, Yi and the others believed that the hussars would choose to compromise. Because Fei Qian still has Cao Cao's foreign enemy on his side, if Fei Qian refuses to compromise, leading to corruption in the entire area, although Que Yi and others will be retaliated by Fei Qian, and there will be many casualties, but Fei Qian will also be defeated by Cao Cao in the end. If Queyi and the others survived, they would be Cao Cao's heroes.

  But since the hussars haven't returned yet, why did Chang'an Sanfu suddenly have soldiers?

No matter whether Que Yi can miss Qi Jie or not, the queue of holding high torches is getting closer, but Que Yi hastily led the people up to the wall of his manor. On the way, his hands almost trembled because of fear. Falling down the steps...

  The fire was getting closer and closer, but Que Yi's face became paler and paler.

  The family guards around Queyi also looked at each other in blank dismay, and some even winked in the dark, and then pondered the escape route. Although it is said that Queyi recruited some strong men to act as guards, these strong men did not have the consciousness to risk their lives for Queyi...

   However, I don’t know why, maybe it’s luck, or maybe some other reason, the fire light didn’t turn in at the intersection of Queyi Manor, but ran towards the direction of Linjin County!

"Huh..." He took out a breath of air, and at this moment, he realized that his back and between his thighs were all wet. When the night wind blew, it was icy cold, and he sneezed several times in a row .

  Since he didn't come here for his own manor, maybe it wasn't his fault?

   But what else is there?

  Quickly walked down the wall of the village tremblingly, and then walked back slowly step by step, thinking in his heart, are these people going to Linjin? What do you want to do?

   Also, where did these people come from?

  Although now he doesn’t have to face Bingjia directly, which makes him somewhat relieved, but the confusing changes still make him feel uneasy, and even have an ominous premonition...

  …ヽ(.>д<)p…

   The soldiers naturally came from Longyou.

  When Que Yi and the others were nervous, Jia Xu had already arrived at Youfufeng.

  Speaking of which, Jia Xu has his own residences in many places, including Longyou, Youfufeng, and Chang’an...

   Here in Huaili, there are also.

   Rabbits like to have more nests.

  According to Jia Xu's personality and habits, living in other people's homes, or posting stations, can't provide a sense of security like his own, so Jia Xu lives in his own home as much as possible if he can live at home.

  Running here and there, but still the most comfortable time at home.

It's just that Jia Xu still doesn't know where his home will be in the future. Maybe when the world is settled, he will follow Li Ru's footsteps and head west to see if the end of the world is really like a hussar As the saying goes, there is a sea beyond the mountains, and mountains beyond the sea...

  Jia Xu glanced at his courtyard again, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, but he waved his hands back resolutely, then looked up and walked out.

  Following Jia Xu going out step by step, more than a dozen soldiers walked in with fire oil pots in their hands, pouring out from the hall of the inner courtyard all the way to Jia Xu's gate.

  It is slightly black with kerosene, flowing slowly under the light of the torch, reflecting the strange light, winding like a snake.

  Jia Xu walked straight to the horse without any pause, and then got on the horse. Behind him, the soldiers followed closely. Every soldier is wearing full armor, neatly tied up, silently waiting for Jia Xu's order.

  Jia Xu stretched out his arm, and then made a move forward, urging the horse forward, and the soldiers behind him issued a few short orders in a low voice, and followed in formation.

  Several torches were spinning in the air, and then fell into the courtyard.

A moment later, there was a sudden fire, and Jia Xu and the others on the long street seemed to be halfway out of the flames. The cold light on the armor with the coldness of death actually suppressed Flames filled the sky and only dared to scream behind him with bravado, but did not dare to step forward...

  He Quan, magistrate of Huaili County, also stayed up all night.

  After Jia Xu arrived in Huaili with some people at dusk, He Quan felt something was wrong, but the problem was that He Quan didn't have the guts to immediately turn against Jia Xu...

  Besides, He Quan didn't know what Jia Xu's intention was when he returned to Huaili. If he just passed by and turned his back on him, wouldn't he be exposing himself?

  Huaili is a large county in Youfufeng, with a large natural population. There are more people, so naturally they have to eat more. When the price of rice grains rises, each person pays an extra hundred and ten dollars, and the entire county is worth millions!

  This business is simple, direct, brutal and effective, and He Quan is very impressed.

  Although he was a little nervous and uneasy at the beginning, as more and more money flowed into his pocket like water, He Quan was intoxicated with such a sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Anyway, so many people are pushing up the price of food, and I am not bad. Anyway, even if I don’t push up the price of food, someone else will do it. Anyway, even if I do it myself, it may not be discovered by others. In the end As long as the hussars come back, if they want to investigate and deal with the hoarders, then they can just grab a temporary worker for the dead ghost, and then kill them with a click, wouldn't everything be fine?

  But Jia Xu's sudden arrival made He Quan a little uncertain. After deliberation, he finally decided to send someone to visit Jia Xu on his own initiative after dawn, to find out what's going on...

  After making up his mind, He Quan felt a little sleepy, but just fell asleep when he was awakened by the commotion outside, his anger rose immediately, and he walked outside angrily, "What's the noise?" 』

  The servant serving nearby pointed to a courtyard wall, "My lord! In the city, the water is gone! 』

  『Where did the water leak? 』He Quan turned his head to look, and there was a bright red in the room, which illuminated half of the sky as if it was bleeding!

  Many people in the city were also awakened in their dreams, and then made various exclamations, like boiling water being boiled on top of a fire.

  He Quan was shocked, and while ordering people to investigate, he rushed to the front yard. Before he entered the main hall of the government office, he heard the sound of armored soldiers, and a group of soldiers rushed in, under the light of the torches. Jia Xu, who was in armor, held his sword and walked in with his head held high.

The yamen attendants who were on duty outside watched Jia Xu rushing in like this, or just stood aside at a loss for ideas, and some of them who were still somewhat loyal rolled and crawled to congratulate run around...

  A voice resounded loudly, "There are thieves and thieves today! Burn and attack the market place! From now on, the whole city of Huaili will be under martial law! All the people, keep their doors and must not participate in chaos! But those who violate the order will be engaged in military law! 』

Jia Xu's expression was cold and hard, as if he didn't see He Quan's figure appearing, he just moved forward with his head held high, and beside Jia Xu, the soldiers from Longyou rushed in like wolves and quickly controlled him. The left and right points are important, but when He Quan's soldiers and guards wanted to resist, they immediately flashed their swords and blood spattered!

  He Quan was so frightened that he turned around and left. Several servants also hurriedly tried to close the gate of the courtyard, but the soldiers rushed a few steps away, and then kicked them away!

  『Jia Wenhe! What do you want to do? ! 』

   Seeing that he couldn't escape, He Quan raised his voice and dared to ask.

  『You are in collusion with the rebels! Come on! Jia Xu shouted, "Why don't you catch him quickly!" So as not to bring disaster to the whole family! 』

  Hearing this, He Quan trembled, "What, what..."

  Jia Xu waved his hand, and the two soldiers rushed forward, pushed away the guards around He Quan, held him around, and brought him to Jia Xu.

  Jia Xu tilted his head slightly, with a smile that was not a smile, "Commander He, it is reported... that you colluded with the rebels, burned a different courtyard, and assassinated Yu?" 』

"what? ! absurd! Never! Never! He Quan jumped up and said angrily, "This...this is framing Yu X!" 』

  『Hehe...then why is there a fire at night when a certain party returns to Huaili? If it wasn't for someone being vigilant, he would have been buried in the flames..." Jia Xu waved his hand casually, "As for whether he was framed...you will know when someone finds out! take it down! 』

He Quan yelled for being wronged, but no one responded anymore, and no matter it was He Quan's attendants or servants, they all knelt down deeply on the ground, as if they were going to bury their heads in the soil, and they dared not show their atmosphere. …
