Chapter 3348 The Mule and Donkey Years

 Soldiers will only eat food and grass, but will not directly produce food and grass. As a civil servant, he does not produce grain and grass by himself, but he has the right to distribute and transport grain and grass.

Or not call it a right at all, but a duty.

But some people will turn this responsibility into their own right.

When a transportation team arrives at the transfer station, counting, loading and unloading, transshipment, or distribution all need to be handled by clerical personnel. Registration and deployment are naturally required to be registered and documented.

In this process, it is very interesting to know who comes first and who comes last.

Chai Yu and his transportation team from Shandong finally arrived in Shaanxi County.

This is the closest transit station to Tongguan.

There are many vehicles and horses, and many people.

According to regulations, cattle and horse excrement needs to be cleaned on the pipeline every day, but now the pipeline is full of trampled, dry or wet...

According to regulations, when the carriages and horses arrive, they must be loaded, unloaded, transported and distributed as soon as possible. However, there are already at least three transport teams jammed here...

Regulations are regulations, reality is reality.

Ever since Cao Xiu left Shaanxi County and went to Hedong, monkeys were basically the only kings here in Shaanxian County.

Is the military situation urgent?

Is military ration important?

But what does that have to do with the civil servants here?

It's not like they're going to the battlefield.

Originally, Cao Xiu was still here, and many people were watching him. Naturally, he was working hard and did not dare to slack off. Cao Xiu finally left, and no one was in charge. If he didn't take the opportunity to catch a fish, lie down or something, he would be sorry for his great life!

Corruption?

That doesn't exist!

Eat some, drink some, play some, collect some, can it be called corruption?

That’s called a balance between work and rest!

As a result, Chai Yu and others were stuck in Shaanxi County, unable to advance, and even more unable to retreat.

If the grain and grass supplies cannot be transferred to Tongguan Camp, it cannot be regarded as completing the errand. Without the review and seal of the Shaanxi County transit camp, even if Chai Yu and others transport the supplies to Tongguan, it does not comply with the process. No more Not only does he deserve credit, he will still be investigated.

What?

Is there a problem with the Shaanxi County transit camp?

What's the problem?

How come I don't know?

Won't you report it?

Hit 12…

Uh, write a letter to the Chancellor's desk!

The fat little official in charge of the transportation team was so anxious that he was bubbling with anxiety, but he still had no good solution.

The gift was given, but it was too little.

Normally, if it’s too little, don’t accept it!

But the clerk at the transfer camp smiled and said that he was grateful to the fat clerk for the subsidy. If you don't want to give it, don't force it...

"Dry! 』

The fat little official in Jinyi lost weight before his eyes. Wiping the sweat, he didn't even dare to scold loudly. He could only complain secretly in front of Chai Yu, "It's according to the process again, the process!" If we really follow the procedure, that’s it. I’m going to the camp today. Guess what? There is a large tent in the hall with six desks for registration... Guess how many people came to the six desks? 』

"several? Chai Yu didn't guess and asked directly.

"one! ” The fat little official raised a finger and said, “Just the **** one! Six desks! Just one! And it’s too late! Even though I was late, I touched my ink here and there my pen here and there. Not even a quarter of an hour after I sat down, I got up again to go in for convenience! Dry! 』

"..." Chai Yu listened and remained silent.

"Hey! Why don't you speak? asked the fat little official.

"say what? Chai Yu said, "Isn't this... normal in Shandong?" You even persuaded me before..."

"ha? ! ” The fat little official was suddenly stunned for a moment, “That’s different! 』

"What's the difference?" What happened before was me, and what happens now is you. Is this different? Chai Yu said slowly.

"Dry! no! Hi! Too! Same, same! ” The fat little official waved his hand and walked around twice, “But there’s a **** war now! fight! 』

"What's the difference?" Chai Yu snorted, "It's not like they're going to fight." They... don't know how to fight... If it hits them on the head, they will kneel on the ground and it will become..."

"..." The fat little official was stunned for a moment, silent for a while, and then angrily uttered one word, "Fuck it!" 』

Then he sat next to Chai Yu and also became stunned.

…

…

Zhongtiao Mountain Camp.

Lu Chang opened his red eyes and looked at the urgent text sent from the front line. He couldn't help scratching his head and asked, "What's the matter with the transportation team not coming?" How do I know what's going on? ! 』

Originally, Guo Jia was doing these things.

But now Lu Changzai can only act as agent.

You won’t know if you don’t do it, but you’ll be shocked if you do it.

This stuff is so complicated!

No, Anyi Camp issued another document to urge the transportation team that was supposed to arrive, but why it hasn't arrived yet.

I don’t know why I didn’t come!

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Chang to reply to the Anyi camp just like this. He could only send someone to transfer the letter immediately and send it to the Tongguan camp.

Anyway, what is the process? If the above asked me, I will continue to pass it down...

This is not really because Lu Chang shirks his responsibilities, but because Lu Chang is really not good at these things. Just looking at these columns of writing every day makes his head spin three times. When he was asked to go into battle, he rushed forward without saying a word, but it was really painful for him to read a day's writing, which was even more tiring than going to the battlefield.

The key is that Cao Cao kept the news of Guo Jia's death secret. Lu Chang can also understand this. After all, in order to stabilize the morale of the military, many things cannot be known to the people below. This is also the normal operation of Shandong. However, as a result, other places do not know that Guo Jia is dead. It was originally reported or copied. All kinds of documents and information for Guo Jia came flooding in like water!

Lu Chang had to step up!

Otherwise, everything will be completely paralyzed...

To put it simply, Guo Jia originally had a Kirin 9000 with 16G of memory, and multi-threaded programs ran quite smoothly, but after replacing it with Lu Chang, it was probably a Kirin 970 with 4G of memory. It was not completely inoperable, but as long as one When running, it immediately gets hot and drops frames, and the battery capacity drops drastically...

(What about Hua? Make money!)

On this day, Lu Chang was floating in the mountains of books and the sea of ​​literature, struggling endlessly, when he suddenly heard the soldiers reported that Dong Zhao was coming, and he was immediately overjoyed, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and ran out in a hurry. Big tent, go straight to the camp gate to greet you.

"I've seen the military advisor!" 』

Lu Chang bowed deeply and looked at Dong Zhao's face, feeling how friendly it was.

This is like looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have a multi-core and multi-thread...

"I have met General Lu. 』

Dong Zhao returned the gift lightly.

The two of them saw the ceremony and entered the camp.

Dong Zhao saw the mountains of writings piled up in the camp at a glance, and his footsteps stopped.

"This..." Lu Chang didn't know what to say for a moment, "This... ah ha, this... military advisor... how about the military advisor take a break first..."

"..." Dong Zhao remained silent, neither saying yes nor saying no. He walked forward slowly and stood for a while in front of the piled manuscript desk, his eyes showing some indistinguishable emotions.

"Feng Xiao... was sitting here originally?" Dong Zhao said softly.

"Yes, yes...strategist, how about asking someone to sort it out?" ” Lu Chang responded quickly.

Dong Zhao shook his head, and then sat down on the table beside him, "I'll just stay here... just call a few civil servants to help... The general can do as he pleases." Ah, by the way, why hasn't the transport team arrived yet? 』

"this! ” Lu Chang’s eyes widened, “I don’t know either. I asked people to go to Tongguan to urge...”

"Just ordinary soldiers can't go there." ” Dong Zhao said, “Send your bodyguard, General, with your command flag!” 』

Lu Chang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Just follow the military advisor's instructions!" 』

Dong Zhao also nodded and immediately began to process the writing.

Lu Chang scratched his head a little. After all, the seat where Dong Zhao was sitting now belonged to him...

But, what exactly does this transport team have?

Is it worth this repeated urging?

Could it be said that the food and fodder on the front line are already so tight?

But didn’t they just send a team of food and grass over a few days ago?

Lu Chang frowned, confused.

Unable to figure it out, Lu Chang stopped thinking about it. After all, these lines of writing were handed over to Dong Zhao. This made Lu Chang feel very relaxed all over his body, and he was ready to take a good rest and stretch his muscles...

"This...ah, military advisor," Lu Chang rubbed his hands, "If there are no other instructions..."

"etc. ” Dong Zhao didn’t even raise his head, “There is one more thing that I need to handle, General. 』

Is something really wrong? The instructions Lu Chang just gave seemed a bit polite, but he didn't expect that Dong Zhao really had something to do.

"Military advisor, please give me your instructions." ” Lu Chang said, cupping his hands.

"I dare not give orders," Dong Zhao said, "but I saw some people from Hedong staying outside the camp..."

"Oh, those people from the east of the river say they want to move to the land of Shandong," Lu Chang nodded and said, "It's just that this is an important place for the military camp. How can we easily get in and out?" Just let these people from Hedong temporarily stay in the defensive position outside the camp until after the war..."

"No need to wait, arrange soldiers immediately to send him away." All people from Hedong must dress lightly, and personal belongings must not exceed twenty kilograms," Dong Zhao said, "There will be people from Hedong coming later, and they will all be handled in this way..."

"Twenty pounds?" Lu Chang was stunned for a moment, "If..."

"If it exceeds the limit, it won't work. ” Dong Zhao threw the finished volume aside, and then picked up a new volume, “Gather one group together and send another group away. If you don’t want to leave... then there’s no need to leave. 』

"Hiss..." Lu Chang took a breath, "The military advisor's intention is..."

"My lord needs someone who is loyal, not someone who is greedy for money or stubborn." Dong Zhao wrote in the text, "Twenty kilograms. If you want to bring gold, silver and soft goods, you can. If you want to bring dry food and water, you can." Anyway, the limit is twenty kilograms. 』

In fact, whether you bring money or dry food, the result is the same.

As the saying goes, if you don’t bring it in life, you won’t take it with you in death.

Those who are not free and easy, the ruling class will naturally help to relieve them.

"Then the mules and donkeys and vehicles of these people from Hedong..." Lu Chang asked.

Dong Zhao nodded, "We are reluctant and can handle it for them." 』

Lu Chang responded, "If this happens... Well, I understand, I will deal with it." 』

Most of those stationed outside the camp are ordinary people from Hedong.

Those who have the means will not take a mule or donkey cart...

Just like the experts who formulate the rules and regulations, they will never ride a donkey.

Let the ruling class who have never ridden a donkey on the road study and formulate a donkey riding bill...

So there is, selling is legal, buying is not illegal, but riding on it is illegal.

Bianjia said that it can be mounted on the wall and offered, or it can be recycled free of charge.

Anyway, the difficulties of the ruling class will never be in ordinary daily life...

Dong Zhao nodded again but said nothing more.

Lu Chang walked out of the tent.

Although the sun was shining brightly outside the tent and the temperature was not low, Lu Chang felt a little chilly for some reason.

…

…

Lu Chang was far from the only one who couldn't figure it out.

Fei Qian also couldn't figure it out.

The latest information was sent to Fei Qian. The craftsmen in the military camp quickly revised a huge sand table based on the original topographic map of Hedong and the military reports continuously sent by Xu Chu, and marked the position of Cao's army on it.

Surrounding the miniature Anyi City, the huge Cao Jun coalition turned Anyi City, which was not originally a small Hedong governor, into a complete foil.

"Cao Jun, have you turned this place into a huge fortification?" 』

Fei Qian looked at the sand table and frowned.

On the sand table, the flags of Cao's troops appeared, densely scattered throughout this huge camp. At the camp gates in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, there are various sentry towers, watchtowers, shooting platforms, and the catapults behind the village wall that Xu Chu specially noted before...

Just like a huge hedgehog.

Ever since Linfen marched, Fei Qian had been thinking about why Cao Cao had such confidence. Even in the current situation, he still persisted.

At first, Fei Qian thought that Cao Cao was "gamble", or that he wanted to win in a chaotic war, just like the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but later Fei Qian denied such an idea...

That's right, Cao Cao's behavior now looks like a "madman".

But could Cao Cao really be a "madman"?

Apparently not.

So since Cao Cao is not a madman, there must be a reason behind his actions.

When Xu Chu and Cao Hong confronted each other before, it was slightly reflected in the battle report. Now that Fei Qian saw the sand table model of Cao Cao's camp, as it gradually became clearer, the feeling that something was wrong became even stronger.

This is a huge camp.

Moreover, the large camp is surrounded by the small camp, and the outer wall surrounds the inner ditch.

There are sentries and fortifications on the surface, as well as some secret passages and traps that have not yet been seen.

The conditions inside the camp described by Bao Zhong's confidants are also some of the situations around the place where Bao's family is located. The layout of other camps, especially the camp layout of the Central Guards and the Leading Army, is basically a combination of seven orifices and six orifices. Tie Cao Zhao has always been on Gufeng Mountain, so he naturally doesn't know anything about the situation inside the camp.

So now those who know the situation in the Zhongyang camp of Cao's army must be only the core elites of Cao's army who lead the army and protect the army...

But it is quite difficult to catch these people.

On the one hand, these elite Cao soldiers do not dispatch easily. Once they do, it will be a **** battle. It is difficult to consciously capture some alive. On the other hand, the loyalty of the leaders and guards of Cao's army was stronger than that of Bao Zhong and others, because these people's families were almost closely linked to the Xiahou family of Cao's family, making it difficult for them to rebel.

From this perspective, Cao Zhao's reason for surrender is even less reliable than Xia Houshang's...

Let’s put aside these issues first and look at the Cao Jun camp in front of us alone.

It has to be said that this Cao Jun camp can be said to be a concentrated display of Shandong's military power.

Especially in terms of city defense, well, it is indeed the case. Even the city defense of Anyi is regarded as a younger brother in front of Cao Jun's camp.

Originally, there was no danger to defend the land outside the city, but Cao Cao completely changed this situation by using the ravines between the lands, as well as large and small camps, internal and external fortifications and sentry towers. , turning the entire camp into a huge military fortress. If Fei Qian wants to break through a point, then drive Cao's soldiers like sheep like a camp downhill, and then achieve a comprehensive victory, then he is basically dreaming.

The model of camps within camps means that even if one or two outer camps are broken, the internal camps will still be intact. Moreover, the suspension bridge on the plateau can be used to quickly transfer troops at any time, or to cut off Fei Qian's advance channel.

"This is a formation..."

Fei Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Fei Qian had always thought that the so-called Six Ding Liujia Formation, the Seven Stars Beidou Formation, and the Eight Door Golden Lock Formation were all the imagination of the literati. But now after looking at the layout of Cao Cao's camp, he found that he might have a certain understanding of those literati. Misunderstanding, after all, faced with such a complex military formation, it is indeed difficult for these literati and writers with only some superficial military knowledge to accurately describe the essence and changes of the entire military formation, so they can only use some mysterious and specious terms. Express your feelings and description of helplessness.

"Cao Jun knows that we have artillery, so we have to turn around when entering and exiting the camp..." Fei Qian pointed to the entrance of Shapan Camp, "Look here, there is a plateau here, like a horse's face protruding from the city wall. If A group of archers are stationed... Within a hundred steps, there is no way to hide. 』

Today's artillery blasts the walls of the camp, so there is no problem, but trying to level a plateau...

Then it can only be haha.

Xun Chen took a step forward, pointed at the Cao Jun camp that was beginning to take shape and already showed a ferocious appearance, and said, "There is a trench here, which is usually covered with treads, so what is under the trench is unknown... But if we say here…』

Xun Chen pointed in another direction, "This is the upper entrance... If we arrange soldiers to enter the trench here, they can appear here... Or if we don't move the soldiers and pour kerosene on the upper entrance, the kerosene will flow along the trench." The trench went all the way down, dividing the troops entering the camp into two..."

It's easy to break through the camp gate, but what about after entering the camp?

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

The dangers in Cao Jun's camp are definitely not limited to the area entering the camp gate.

"Shandong...there are really many people..."

Fei Qian suddenly said with emotion.

Xun Chen was silent for a moment and then added, "Maybe there are also people from Heluo and Hedong..."

Fei Qian nodded.

When it comes to the ability to transform the earth, ordinary people in China are undoubtedly among the best.

Obviously, Cao Cao used a large number of civilians to build such a fortress-like military stronghold, and then sent all these civilians to die...

"deliver"?

Fei Qian frowned slightly.
