Three Kingdoms

After meeting Linghu and sending Guo Chang and his gang away, Fei Qian rubbed his cheeks that were stiff with laughter and thought for a moment.

There was nothing new that Guo Chang said, and it was all within Fei Qian's expectation. It was probably that the prefect Wen Hao was not feeling well and could not come in person, and the Huguan area had just endured a military attack. The people were still undecided and could not allow Fei Qian to move in. Wait, anyway, it’s just a lot of polite excuses, and then no commitment is confirmed...

Inside the tent, Fei Qian was deep in thought, while Jia Qu, Xu Shu and Huang Cheng on both sides were also sitting and waiting quietly.

Well, sit down.

When marching and fighting, it is naturally more convenient to use a Hu stool. The Hu stool is actually a horse-drawn chair, with several pieces of wood crossed over each other and covered with hemp rope or Gebu to make a chair surface. It is simple, practical and easy to carry.

Originally, this big tent was still public, but now it is naturally commandeered by Fei Qian.

"Yuan Fang... cough cough..." Fei Qian was thinking about it and accidentally called him the wrong one. He quickly changed his words and said, "Yuan Zhi, Liang Dao, this matter... do you two have any opinions?"

Many things, plans do not change quickly.

Originally, Wen Hao, the governor of Shangdang, took the initiative to invite Fei Qian and wrote a letter. Now, most likely after seeing Fei Qian defeat Zhang Yang, he immediately regretted it and refused to open the switch to let Fei Qian enter. As a result, Fei Qian quickly took over. The party's plans were thwarted.

And now Linghu Cong has brought a new opportunity, but is this opportunity real or fake?

"The Shangdang needs urgent help... Linghu's story should be true." Jia Qu was a person who knew Bingzhou relatively well, so he naturally endorsed Linghu Cong, "Wen Shijun..."

Jia Qu paused for a moment, and then said tactfully: "Although he has the ambition to become a well-off person, he has no ability to become a well-off person."

This is the land of the Three Jin Dynasties, so it is natural for people here to admire the figures of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Cheng Kang refers to King Cheng and King Kang of the Western Zhou Dynasty. There is also a poem in the Book of Songs that specifically praises these kings of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Fei Qian and Xu Shu were both familiar with it, and naturally understood what Jia Qu meant.

"Uncle Linghu Kong is in Shoushan Academy..." Xu Shu also nodded and said, "Maybe we can give it a try."

If Jia Qu made the judgment based on his familiarity with the people in Bingzhou, then Xu Shu made the judgment entirely based on the powerful connections between the noble clans. The surname Linghu is very special, so basically anyone who has heard of it will know it. I can remember it, but so far, I have not heard of any members of the Linghu family holding that important position, or serving as staff for that important prince. Therefore, Linghu Shao is now Fei Qian serves as a doctor in the academy. Although he is not famous for the time being, with more and more students, he will naturally become famous all over the world in the future. As a person, he may still be impulsive, but for the entire gentry, it is still Don't be stupid enough to risk your own future.

What are the benefits of joining Wen Hao in the Shangdang Party? At most, there is only one Congcao. So is it more important to have a doctorate from the Academy or to be a subordinate under the Shangdang Prefect?

I believe that many nobles can understand this, so it is reasonable for the Linghu family to take the initiative to join Wen Hao when they discovered that Wen Hao was timid and procrastinating.

"Good!" Since the two counselors felt that this matter was not a trap, Fei Qian stood up and ordered: "Give the whole army an order to bury the pots to cook, distribute some beef and wine, and have a feast, and make a big announcement to return tomorrow! Uncle! Karma, I’ll leave it to you tonight…”

Huang Cheng showed a clear smile, cupped his fists and accepted the order.

× × × × × × × × ×

Wen Hao, the governor of Shangdang, was still a little worried. He held on to the brick wall and climbed up the wall of Huguan again step by step. Every brick and stone on the Huguan city wall was repaired bit by bit under Wen Hao's eyes.

Guo Chang slowly followed Wen Hao. He could only follow, but he did not dare to help.

Although Wen Hao is old, he definitely refuses to accept old age. It is obviously not very convenient for him to move. He would rather walk slowly than use crutches, and he even dislikes being supported by others...

Huguan was originally a pass used to defend Hanoi from attacking the Shangdang Highlands. Therefore, it has been an internal pass since the Han Dynasty. Although it was once majestic, it did not receive the attention of the court for many years. Therefore, Wen Hao went to the table several times to request funding from the court. It was used for repairs, but nothing was heard from it.

Thinking about it, you know, why would people in Shandong be willing to build a barrier in Bingzhou to isolate the Sanjin area from the Hanoi area?

However, as a Bingzhou native, I couldn't help but watch Huguan being gradually destroyed by the wind and rain over the years, so I had no choice but to use some of the limited expenses of Shangdang County to repair some this year and some next year. , it can be regarded as maintaining the condition of Huguan from being dilapidated and destroyed.

Years of investment have paid off today. It is precisely because of Wen Hao's persistence that Zhang Yang stopped when he reached the Hu Pass. Otherwise, Shangdang would have changed his surname to Zhang...

However, the danger of Fei Qian under Guan Xia is even greater than that of Zhang Yang.

The sun had slowly set on the mountain. Wen Hao squinted his eyes and looked out as hard as he could while holding on to the parapet.

Outside the camp in the distance, many Hu people made random bonfires and seemed to be roasting some beef and mutton. They were smiling happily. Some even sang and danced around the bonfires...

In the camp farther away, there are also faint lights of fire and figures flashing. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the laughter and laughter of the Han people coming from the autumn wind.

Guo Chang said from the side: "Ming Gong, it is said that Fei Zhonglang has announced that he will return tomorrow..."

Wen Hao looked at the camp under the pass, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "We still need to prepare some military supplies tomorrow to send them out of the pass... I have offended a lot this time..."

Although there is a suspicion of taking advantage of Fei Qian this time, it is better to offend someone than to lose his position as the prefect of Shangdang.

Give up to the party?

What a joke, even if Wen Hao wanted to do it himself, his family in Taiyuan would not agree.

Wen Hao knew in his heart that his most important responsibility was not to protect Huguan for the imperial court, but to protect Huguan for the nobles of Taiyuan. Taiyuan Shangdang Land has Taihang Mountain in the east, Luliang Mountain in the west, and Yinshan Mountain in the north. Surrounded by the mountains, there are Fenshui, Qinshui, Zhangshui, Tuohe and other water sources passing through, which created this area. The highlands of Shangdang Taiyuan are suitable for farming and are rare highland granaries.

Therefore, as long as the southern gate of Huguan is in hand, you don't have to worry too much about the changes in the surrounding situation, and you can calmly sit back and watch the two Yuan's fight.

As for whether it was Zhang Yang or Fei Qian, Wen Hao didn't like it and wouldn't allow him to reach out to the Shangdang. However, the original plan of two tigers competing for food has become a bit embarrassing because Fei Qian is too ferocious, and now he is neither up nor down...
