The section from Danshui to Shangxian is free of danger.
The people who Cao Zhen arranged on land naturally failed to wait for Pang Tong, and Wei Yan did not wait either.
When Wei Yan learned that Pang Tong had arrived in Shang County safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little angry. After all, he had been preparing for so long, but he couldn't use it anymore!
Pang Tong actually used a trick to transfer Cao's army, and he arrived at Shang County with great ease.
However, when Wei Yan found Pang Tong in Shang County, Pang Tong easily dispelled Wei Yan's anger with one sentence.
"The literary history has changed, there are changes in the Western Regions..."
Wei Yan was suddenly a little surprised and was immediately drawn away.
In many cases, soldiers act according to orders, so whether they fight or not, or they run for a long time, they don’t make any big moves. For them, even if they have some opinions, they are often more one-sided, because the perspective of soldiers is limited, and they can only see that a little.
To some extent, Wei Yan's thinking pattern was still a bit like a soldier. On the way back, he smacked his lips more than once, feeling that he was pretending to be a soldier, and then he really became a soldier. This made him feel a little worried, just like the expected grand prize result was not released, or the pool was emptied by some mountain people in the corner forty times and fifty times.
But he told Pang Tong that we would not go back, and we would stay and fight with Cao's army before leaving. Wei Yan could not speak out.
After all, what Fei Qian, the general of the Cavalry, told Wei Yan that he wanted Wei Yan to cooperate with Pang Tong and assist Pang Tong in the event of need, not to let Wei Yan go to war with Jingzhou.
Now, with his own strategy, Pang Tong successfully transferred Cao Zhen, changed from land to water, and then from water to land, and gently shook his body and left the danger. Wei Yan couldn't tell Pang Tong, Pang Lingjun, you can't do this, I haven't even gone on stage to perform, this is the end? Why don't Pang Lingjun go back to Wancheng and walk again?
Perhaps when Wei Yan was older and had more achievements in history, he might have turned to a replica of Guan Laoer because of his arrogance. However, Wei Yan is not so arrogant now. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not lose face because of this and refused to protect Pang Tong from going north and returning to Guanzhong.
However, on the way back to Chang'an, Wei Yan could not help but find Pang Tong and asked: "Pang Lingjun, Shu, can you take the liberty? Can you receive news from Chang'an in Wancheng?"
Wei Yan guessed it was a carrier pigeon, but using the carrier pigeon to convey the news of the price increase of items made Wei Yan feel unlikely, and even felt a little extravagant.
Carrier pigeons have their own convenience, but also have limitations. In order to ensure that information is not lost, carrier pigeons are generally double-packed, that is, the same information, two carrier pigeons may be selected to be released at different times to ensure that the intelligence is not lost during the return of carrier pigeons. Even if there are no natural enemies of carrier pigeons, such as hunting of various eagles and eagles in the northwest, carrier pigeons may not be able to fly back due to the magnetic field chaos at some time, or their own problems...
Therefore, using a carrier pigeon can indeed quickly deliver messages, but the cost is too high.
It is understandable to convey certain major events, but it is a bit wasteful to convey the news of price increases, right?
But if you don’t use a carrier pigeon, what other methods should you use?
Wei Yan couldn't figure it out because he had been staring at Shangxian and even the entire Danshui route for a while. If there were any other information transmission methods, it would be impossible for him to hide it, so he was very confused.
Pang Tong looked at Wei Yan and smiled and said, "Why should Chang'an specifically deliver messages for this matter?"
Pang Tong's answer made Wei Yan even more confused.
Wei Yan frowned and asked, "Since you have never received the news, how did Lingjun learn that there was a change in the Western Regions? Please let me explain my doubts."
At this time, Wei Yan was not accusing him, but asking for advice.
Wei Yan was born in a low-class family and was not a powerful family. In addition, he actually didn't read much, so he didn't know much about some scriptures, and he couldn't talk to those who were well-read about poetry and books, so he didn't have many friends with the children of the gentry.
Just like in history, Wei Yan respected Guan Yu very much and had no conflicts with Zhao Yun. At the same time, he repeatedly refuted Zhuge Liang's suggestions, that is, complaining, and did a lot of work he should do. He was just a conflict with Yang Yi, which was particularly obvious. Perhaps he also had conflicts with some literati in Sichuan and Shu in history, but these were unknown.
At present, Wei Yan admires Fei Qian very much, and is also humble to resourceful people like Xu Shu and Pang Tong. Of course, if Pang Tong relied entirely on Wei Yan to be rescued this time, Wei Yan's attitude towards Pang Tong might be different.
Pang Tong smiled and did not deliberately keep it a secret, but said slowly: "Wenchang, Wancheng is a place where goods are distributed from north to south, east and west, and the price changes are the most significant... Although I live in Wancheng, I can naturally know the changes in the price of goods in Chang'an... In the Western Regions, the prices of goods such as spices and pudding wine were greatly increased... There is no warning or reason for this matter, so it is speculated that there will be changes in the Western Regions."
Because of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, the prices of Chang'an goods are generally relatively stable. The sudden huge price fluctuations will definitely be impossible if the Dahan Chamber of Commerce does not know it. If the Dahan Chamber of Commerce knows it, it means that Fei Qian knows it. The Dahan Chamber of Commerce has not made any explanation or measures, which naturally means that there must be some changes that are unknown to ordinary people.
Wei Yan suddenly realized, "So that's it! In the lecture notes of the martial arts hall, there are examples of observing the fluctuations in the enemy's grain prices and letting you know the changes in the enemy's army! It turns out that it can be used here! I've been taught, I've been taught!"
Pang Tong nodded, "The examples in the martial arts hall are all based on actual combat, and are a great initiative of the lord. If the literary master can understand it, he will be able to understand the battlefield and understand the enemy and us."
Wei Yangong bowed, "Thank you for your advice! Yan Dingran devoted himself to research! But what happened in the Western Regions?"
Pang Tong was silent for a while, shook his head slightly, "I can't be sure... but when I arrived in Chang'an, I will know... Let's speed up!"
Wei Yan looked at Pang Tong with some tired face, "Lingjun, your body..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "I'm just a little tired from the road. When I arrive in Chang'an, I can naturally rest well... Speed ​​up, the sooner I arrive in Chang'an, the sooner I get a rest."
Seeing that Pang Tong insisted, Wei Yan didn't say anything else, so he went aside to issue an order.
Pang Tong looked up at the sky, and the white clouds floated in the sky.
Pang Tong sighed slightly. He actually didn't know anything about the Western Regions as he said to Wei Yan. He also guessed something, but Pang Tong knew in his heart that this matter in the Western Regions seemed to be just a problem with Lu Bu, a matter of the Western Regions, but in fact it was not, but people like Lu Bu, like the Western Regions.
It's the matter of this world.
The wind flies, the clouds move.
Is this the floating heart of people, or the vicissitudes of time?
The white clouds in the sky are unpredictable, sometimes turning into a tiger and sometimes turning into a rabbit.
On the other side, under the butt of the rabbit turned into white clouds, Liu Xie was also looking up at the sky.
Observing the sky every day has almost become a daily habit for Liu Xie.
He is the emperor. At least that's what he thinks. So is it reasonable for the son of destiny to get some information from the sky?
Liu Xie was eager, but he was also afraid.
Although the word information is not as thorough as later generations, for the people of the Han Dynasty, they have gradually paid more attention to it since when.
Needless to say, Fei Qian in Guanzhong, perhaps it was him that brought the entire man's demand for information to a higher level.
Unconsciously, almost all people from the upper class subconsciously began to form their own information networks to collect relevant information. Even if this behavior is a bit inefficient or there are information deviations caused by personal abilities, at least the current level of the great man's desire for information in the entire outside world is much higher than in history.
It turns out that the great man is not the "world"...
The one who is most impacted by this concept is naturally the emperor.
The emperor, the son of destiny, the lord of the world, but one day, the world was expanded, and suddenly I found that there was still something that the "Emperor" could not manage and could not reach. Then the original follower of the "Emperor" theory of the Han Dynasty would naturally have various doubts.
Since it is the emperor, why is there still a place that does not belong to the emperor? Is there another "Emperor" that does not belong to the emperor of the Han Dynasty? If there is still a "Emperor", who is the real "Emperor"? Or this "Emperor", it may not be the so-called "Son of Destiny"?
Under the influence of these thoughts, Liu Xie was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
While he was panicked, he felt that the brilliance was mottled and the fragrance was losing. On the other hand, he was eager to obtain more information. He was afraid to know this outside information, but at the same time he was eager to know.
This is a whole new world, a world beyond his imagination.
"Your Majesty..." A soft call interrupted Liu Xie's thoughts.
Liu Xie slowly turned his head and saw the eunuch of the Yellow Sect holding a pile of books.
"What is this...?" Liu Xie asked.
The eunuch of the Yellow Sect lowered his head, "This is the record of patrol given to His Majesty by Dong Xunfeng..."
"The Fengshang?" Liu Xie was almost stunned for a moment. He almost forgot about this matter. "These letters are all Dong Xunfeng alone?"
Normally, due to the limitations of carriers, the number of words in the table is generally not large. But what the eunuchs of the Yellow Sect now hold are obviously more than a dozen tables. Could it be that they were written by Dong Yu alone?
Before there was a large amount of Guanzhong paper, the letters were all bamboo slips or wooden slips, and the great officials could use silk, but they were all limited by the materials and few long commentators.
And Dong Yu's current preface breaks Liu Xie's perception.
Because it is indeed a lot, it is thicker, and Liu Xie also saw that he seemed to have specially made a subtitle, one of the Fengshou Records, and the second.
The eunuch of the Huangmen lowered his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this is the letter from Dong Xunfeng from Guanzhong."
"The Wind Patrolman..."
Liu Xie smiled bitterly. He had appointed many official positions, such as the inequality part-time minor official like the Fengshang, and he didn't even care about Liu Xie himself. If Dong Yu hadn't sent so many letters back this time, he would have forgotten Dong Yu.
Liu Xie’s impression of Dong Yu is actually very ordinary.
Because Dong Yu's speech was very straightforward, Liu Xie even felt a little harsh.
Dong Yu made an advice and asked Liu Xie to "revitalize the court and appoint talents", and at the same time "promote the local government and raise the people", and "understand politics, govern the princes", etc....
So Liu Xie was smiling at the beginning, but after that, his smile could only change slowly.
Now, when Liu Xie suddenly heard the name Dong Yu, his first reaction was who this guy was? Yes, Liu Xie actually had no impression of Dong Yu left, even though he personally gave Dong Yu the title of "Admissioner".
The patrolman, haha, the patrolman.
Liu Xie teased a little helplessly. Now, as the emperor, he, as the emperor, does not need the approval of the Shangshutai, nor does he need to go through the Shangshutai process. Anyway, he is the kind who does not receive a salary, and the Shangshutai is too lazy to take care of such official positions.
What does a great man lack the most?
No, what is Liu Xie lacking the most at the moment?
Talent! Especially "loyal" talents!
When Liu Xie discovered that his title, his identity was not exempt from harm, nor could he bow his head and worship him, he began to recruit "talents". Of course, due to his own growth, environment, and his personal experience, it was not very smooth at the beginning...
Well, even now, it still doesn't go smoothly, just like hemorrhoids and suffering from constipation.
Dong Yu's surname is Dong, Dong, who has a queen mother, but his relationship with Dong Yu is not very close. He is of the same clan, but he cannot be considered to be of the same clan. However, this little relationship made Liu Xie seize it tightly. Although he didn't feel very good when he met Dong Yu for the first time, Liu Xie still endured it.
Liu Xie is too short of people.
Dong Cheng was the "talent" that Liu Xie first looked for, because Dong Cheng was from the lineage of Empress Dowager Dong and was considered a person who knew the truth. But the problem is that Dong Cheng, like Dong Chong, did not have much talent. Even like a child carrying gold in the downtown area, he soon lost his life in the chaos, but also caused Liu Xie's original plan to suffer major setbacks.
Liu Xie once thought he was the emperor, so no matter how small his order was, it was a great order for his ministers, but he had to accept the reality later. Even if someone really said that the emperor's orders would not obey, in fact, it was mostly just a saying. After leaving the hall, these ministers would still do whatever they should do.
The more Liu Xie lives, the more painful it becomes.
Now Liu Xie feels that he is the happiest and happiest time, but when he grows up, he is full of pain, and Dong Yu and others are the light that Liu Xie seeks when he feels these pains.
Even a little, faint, or even slim...
So when Liu Xie met an honest person like Dong Yu, he naturally felt a little emotional. Although Dong Aiqing didn't speak well, he still did practical things, at least he really regarded "Pursuing the Wind" as one thing!
Look, so many news records!
Liu Xie looked through and sighed in his heart. It turns out that people should not behave like a person. Dong Aiqing looks average, but how well written the word is, how detailed these things are...
It's really a mistake!
Liu Xie once again sighed in his heart. When he was conferring Dong Yu and other a large group of gentry children as patrolmen, he just wanted to have dates but no dates to hit three poles. Anyway, he couldn't keep them, so he might as well keep them a favor that didn't have money, or...
Mix sand.
Liu Xie felt that Dong Yu was a nerd, and Dong Yu himself said so. He didn't want to go to Chang'an to find a job, but just to study. Because he found that Chang'an has more books than Xu County.
Liu Xie really wanted to get angry at that time and shouted that those books were mine, mine!
At least it was!
That guy moved it out of my library!
But when the words came to your mouth, Liu Xie would swallow them again, and then rolled in his stomach, causing a resentment to slowly spread out.
What the princes in the world took away from his family was more than books?
So when facing these children who were like Dong Yu who wanted to "study" in Chang'an, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Okay, very good, good, good, and good, and then gave these people the title of "Arrogant of the Wind", indicating that after these people arrived in Chang'an, in addition to studying, they could also report their customs and customs back.
No money anyway.
Well, strictly speaking, it is not that it is not that there is no money at all. The reward is still slightly, but it is just that the salary is not paid. The patrolman is just a false title and does not have any grade. Of course, there is no need to pay salary. Even the reward is a account of the Shaofu, so the Shangshutai does not make any trouble. For such a false title, Liu Xie is willing to give it a few titles, just treat it as a child...
Well, just treat it as practicing.
But now, no one expected that these patrolmen who had no salary and originally didn't think were serious things, and a serious person was actually mixed in!
Is this considered a wolf in the group of Erhu, or a second-hu?
"Huh... this is really..." Liu Xie sighed while looking around, "Dong Aiqing is so loyal... If this man in the court could be like Dong Aiqing, not a person who is a corpse and a person who is indifferent to the position of a person, why is my great man so much? Why is this?
The eunuch of the Yellow Sect bowed his head and pretended not to hear it.
Dong Yu's patrol record started when Dong Yu entered the Heluo area...
"The wind is heard. It is vast, crossing the rivers and Luo Rivers. The weeds in the desert are everywhere, and no one can be seen. The rivers are surging, and the ridges are divided into different parts. The yellow and sands are spreading, and the wind is tragic. There are few people in the sun for thousands of miles. The villagers told him that this is where Shandong attacked Dong. They cover the three armies and often cries ghosts, and the sky is cloudy. "
Liu Xie sighed slowly.
"The second wind and heard the wind. I was in panic and stayed in Luoyang. The sound of the night was heard, and it was covered with cold dew. The river was surging, and the water was hard to cross. The sky was high and the earth was far away, and I didn't know the way back. The rats walked inside, and they were magnificent and devoured their bones. The food was consumed, and the rats lived in peace..."
Liu Xie put the second letter back, then sighed again, his face really embarrassed, "Ahhhhh!"
Chapter completed!
