Chapter 3349 Mules and Donkeys Back Then

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 it may not be called 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 dispatched as soon as possible, but 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, basically only monkeys were 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 gifts were given, but they were 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 for the fat clerk's 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 you 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 damn 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 matter... 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 damn 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 makes his head spin three times every day. When he was asked to go into battle, he rushed forward without saying a word, but it was really painful to ask 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, which is also a normal operation in 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 struggling endlessly in the mountains of books and literature when he suddenly heard the soldiers reported that Dong Zhao was coming. He was overjoyed and ran out as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. 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-threaded one...

"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... aha, 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, 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 someone 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? What Lu Chang said just now seemed like polite words, but he didn't expect that Dong Zhao really had something to do.

"Military advisor, please give me your instructions." 』

Lu Chang said with cupped 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 in the future, 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 you don’t have 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 will never ride a donkey on the road, study and formulate a donkey riding bill...

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

Experts said that it can be framed on the wall for display, or it can be recycled for free.

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

Dong Zhao nodded again, but he didn't say anything else.

Lv Chang walked out of the big tent.

Although the sun was shining outside the big tent and the temperature was not low, for some reason, Lv Chang felt a little cold.

…

…

It was not just Lv Chang who couldn't figure it out.

Fei Qian couldn't figure it out either.

The latest intelligence 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.

Around the miniature Anyi city, the huge Cao army camp turned Anyi City, which was not a small Hedong seat, into a complete foil.

"Cao's army, turned this into a huge fortification? 』

Fei Qian looked at the sand table and frowned.

On the sand table, flags representing Cao's troops appeared, densely spread across the location of this huge camp. At the camp gates in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast, there were various sentry towers, lookout towers, shooting platforms, and the catapults behind the wall that Xu Chu had specially noted before...

It was just like a huge hedgehog.

Since the Linfen march, Fei Qian has been thinking about why Cao Cao had such confidence, and even in the current situation, he still insisted.

At first, Fei Qian thought that Cao Cao was "gambling" or wanted to win in the chaos, just like the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao back then, but later Fei Qian denied such an idea...

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

But is Cao Cao really a "madman"?

Obviously not.

So since Cao Cao is not a madman, his actions must have their reasons behind them.

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

This is a huge camp.

And the big camp is surrounded by a small camp, and the outer wall surrounds the inner ditch.

There are sentries and fortifications on the surface, and there are still some secret passages and traps that have not been seen so far.

The situation inside the camp that Bao Zhong's confidant told was also some of the surroundings of Bao's place. The layout of other camps, especially the camps of the Central Commander and the Central Guard of the Central Cao Army, was basically all over the place. The leader Cao Zhao has been on the lonely peak mountain, and naturally he knows nothing about the situation inside the camp.

So now the only ones who know about the situation in the Cao army's camp must be the core elite of the Cao army of the Central Commander and the Central Guard...

But it is quite difficult to catch these people.

On the one hand, these elite Cao army will not be dispatched easily. Once dispatched, it will inevitably be a bloody battle. It is difficult to really consciously capture some alive. On the other hand, the loyalty of the leaders and guards of the Cao army is stronger than that of Bao Zhong and others, because their families are closely linked to the Cao and Xiahou families, and it is difficult for them to rebel.

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

Let's put these issues aside and look at the Cao army camp in front of us.

It has to be said that this Cao army camp is a concentrated display of Shandong's military strength.

Especially in terms of city defense, yes, it is true. Even the city defense of Anyi is a younger brother in front of the Cao army camp.

Originally, the earthen plateau outside the city had no defense, but Cao Cao changed this situation completely through the gullies between the earthen plateaus, large and small camps, internal and external fortifications and sentry towers, turning the entire camp into a huge military fortress. If Fei Qian wanted to break through a point, and then drive away the Cao army soldiers like sheep like the camp under the slope, and then achieve a comprehensive victory, then he was basically dreaming.

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

"This is a formation..."

Fei Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Fei Qian had always believed that the so-called Liu Ding Liu Jia formation, the Seven Star Big Dipper formation, and the Eight Gates Golden Lock formation were all the fantasies of literati and poets, but now after seeing the layout of Cao Cao's camp, he found that he might have some misunderstandings about those literati and poets. After all, facing such a complex military formation, these literati and poets who only have some superficial military knowledge are indeed difficult to accurately describe the essence and changes of the entire military formation, so they can only use some mysterious and specious terms to express their feelings and helpless descriptions.

"Cao's army knows we have artillery, so they have to turn to enter and exit the camp..." Fei Qian pointed to the entrance of the sand table camp, "Look here, there is a plateau, like a protruding horse face on the city wall. If we station a group of archers... there is no place to hide within a hundred steps."

Now the artillery bombards the camp wall, so there is no problem, but trying to flatten a plateau...

That can only be hehe.

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 Go all the way down the trench and divide 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 the people of 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.
