Just like what happened in later generations, the county captain from Gucheng arrived late with more than twenty soldiers.
The county captain in the Han Dynasty was like the director of the local public security bureau, and also served as the industrial and commercial bureau, taxation bureau, etc. Although his position was not large, his actual power in the local area was not small.
After arriving at the scene, the county captain dismounted and did not rush to say hello first, but glanced left and right.
I saw about thirty or forty corpses piled up on one side. Seven or eight people who looked like auxiliary soldiers were digging and filling the pits for the corpses. On the other side, next to the cart, there were only about ten people who seemed to be injured.
, the wound has been wrapped with cloth strips, the situation does not look very serious, there are only three or five people who died, it seems that they were shot to death by stray arrows, and the decoration is still auxiliary soldiers...
The county lieutenant secretly clicked his tongue, Damn it, is this an ordinary transport soldier? It's almost like a border army!
The county lieutenant put on a smile and walked towards Fei Qian with his head bowed. The old man's eyes were very poisonous. He could tell by just one glance that the young man sitting on the carriage was the important person in this convoy.
, although the blood on this young man's face has faded, and he seems to be very frightened...
Fei Qian was not frightened, but vomited.
Anyone who vomits three times in a row until bitter water comes out early in the morning will become blue and white no matter how good his face is.
"My surname is Yang, I am the Gucheng County Lieutenant, and I have met this husband." Yang County Lieutenant chuckled, and when he came up, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
"He Luofei, Minister of the Zuo Department." Fei Qian said a few words like gold, and stopped talking, indicating that Huang Cheng would negotiate with Yang County Lieutenant.
It's not that Fei Qian is putting on airs, but that Fei Qian's stomach is still twitching occasionally, and he really can't talk much, otherwise he might vomit again...
However, this kind of attitude is normal in the eyes of Yangxian Lieutenant. The nobles always maintain their own identity, and besides, he is just a county captain. Moreover, Zuo Shushi is a person with a court official position of 400 shi. If the "River River" in front of him is
It is abnormal for a scholar from the "Luofei family" to talk to him about anything, talk about everything, stand shoulder to shoulder, and call him brother-in-law!
Yang Xianwei agreed repeatedly and then withdrew with a flattering smile. Officials like him, who are local bullies at the grassroots level, have always had a soft complexion, and now they don't feel any embarrassment in being humble.
After all, although this place is the boundary of Gucheng, it is still within the scope of Gucheng. If something happens, you can't get rid of it. It is better to make amends with a smile than to get kicked out of the iron plate after not knowing the details.
After a while, Huang Chengcheng came back with an extra piece of paper in his hand, which he handed to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian glanced at it a few times and then put it away.
In fact, this piece of paper is a handover certificate, explaining what happened here and who will take over...
What Fei Qian paid attention to was that it was written on this piece of paper that it was a "yellow turban remnant bandit", beheading the thirty-sixth level! The most important thing is that the county lieutenant just sent someone to check it casually and counted the number of dead people.
They did nothing else, neither tried to verify the identity of the attacker, nor asked the attacker in detail about the method of attack. They just wrote "Yellow Turban Bandit" under Huang Cheng's naive smile.
It seems that he is extremely respectful to Fei Qian and others, but in fact there are some problems.
During the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, heads were important upgrade props.
The military title ranges from Gongshi, Shangzao, to Guanneihou and Chehou. The head can be used to pave the way for promotion at each level.
In the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, it was easiest to obtain the heads of the trapped warriors. As long as a group of trapped warriors beheaded five levels in total, all members could be promoted to the first level!
Of course, the soldiers who are trapped in the battle are also the fastest unit to die. There are eighteen people in a team, and it is often very good to have only a few left after a battle...
As of now, as far as Fei Qian knows, the role of the head in calculating the merit has been greatly weakened, and more emphasis is placed on the number of enemies killed by the entire unit.
But no matter what, whether it’s the level of decapitation or the number of enemies killed, the key point is that the identity needs to be verified!
In future generations, if you are a person who collects some office supplies in an office, when will it be most likely that you will not take a detailed inventory of the newly arrived office stationery, etc.?
When it’s time to eat at noon and when it’s time to get off work in the afternoon…
So now that the county captain is neither rushing to eat nor rushing to get off work, why doesn't he carefully check the identity of the deceased?

Outside the jujube coalition camp, Cao Cao and Bao Xin stood on a hillside to the east of the camp. They had just said goodbye to several good friends of the prefects, and now they were about to say goodbye.
In the Battle of Bianshui, Cao Cao was finally rescued by Cao Hong, but Wei Zi was not so lucky and failed to escape from the rebellion.
In fact, Cao Cao knew that Wei Zi was actually killed by himself and Cao Hong. Because he was attacked by the Xiliang cavalry on the right wing, causing chaos in the formation, Cao Hong immediately led troops to rescue him. As a result, when the entire front was defeated, Wei Zi was trapped in the army.
middle……
But Cao Cao couldn't blame Cao Hong. If Cao Hong hadn't come from the left wing in advance, his life would have been decided by the Bianshui River.
Originally, Cao Hong paid for half of the cost of recruiting soldiers this time, and the other half was paid by the Wei family. Now not only have all the soldiers been buried, but Wei Zi's life has also been lost. Cao Cao really has no way to return to Chenliu, because Cao Cao really
I don’t know how to face Weitz’s family...
Bao Xin was also sad. His brother Bao Tao, who was a vanguard, rushed into Dong Zhuo's camp, and together with the remaining soldiers of the vanguard, they were trapped in the fire and burned to death.
As for himself, because he was standing relatively forward at the time, he was hit by a stray arrow at the critical moment, which caused him to move the flag, and he was ultimately defeated.
What's even more tragic is that when Bao Xin and Cao Cao gathered some remaining soldiers and fled back to Suizao, they were almost killed by Liu Dai directly to sacrifice the flag! If it weren't for the three prefects Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, and Qiao Mao, they followed Liu Dai on the spot.
We argued hard, and finally even Yuan Yi stood up to oppose it. Maybe the two of them are now wandering ghosts under the banner of the Chinese Army.
Because Bao Xin was injured, he was tied with cloth strips and could not wear armor. He only wore the attire of a scribe, a wide robe with big sleeves. A gust of wind blew and the sleeves of the robe were fluttering in the wind. "...Mengde, let's say goodbye..."
…”
After saying that, although he was injured, Bao Xin still endured the pain and got on the horse with the help of his guards. He slightly bowed his hands to Cao Cao, then crossed his legs and headed east. Although Liu Dai was exempted from punishment
, but he still has to go to Jibei King Liu Luan to plead guilty, and Bao Xin's future is still uncertain...
The wind in February is still very cold, and it seems to cool down the blood in my heart.
"Brother, where are we going now..." Cao Hong asked standing aside.
"Zilian...we...failed..."
Cao Hong was silent for a while and suddenly said loudly: "No! Brother! We have not failed! My family still has money. If the equipment is gone, we will buy it again! If the soldiers are gone, we will recruit again! If we are still alive, we will
There is no failure!”
"... Living... has not failed?" Cao Cao repeated, his eyes seemed to regain their luster, and his heart that had been chilled by the cold wind seemed to be beating again...
"Okay! Zi Lian said well! Let's... let's go to Yangzhou!" Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, is his old friend, and Yangzhou has not experienced any wars in this period of time. Under Chen Wen's care, he should go there to recruit troops.
There's no big problem.
"Wei!" Seeing that Cao Cao had regained his fighting spirit, Cao Hong happily agreed, then turned around and went down to integrate the few remaining soldiers and prepare to set off.
Cao Cao looked back at the jujube camp and was silent for a long time. Finally he sighed, walked down the hillside, got on his horse, and headed south...
The cold wind blew fiercely across the hills, vaguely bringing a few lines of poetry with it——
"There are righteous men in Guandong who raise troops to fight against the evil forces.
"In the early days of meeting with Alliance Jin, my heart was in Xianyang.
"The army's combined strength is weak, and the geese are hesitant.
"Snobbishness makes people fight, and people fight against each other..."
Jiang Wei entered the account and went to Kongming's bed to say hello.
Kong Ming said: "What I have learned in my life has been written in twenty-four chapters, totaling one hundred and forty-four thousand one hundred and twelve words. There are eight tasks, seven precepts, six fears, and five methods of fear. I have looked at all the generals.
, No one can teach me, but you can pass on my book. Don’t ignore it!”
Wei cried and worshiped and accepted it. He opened the military book and saw the beginning: "If you want to practice this skill, you must first leave the palace."
