Because Fei Qian had already arrived in Hedong and was on his way to Anyi, he needed to raise a flag.
Near Sili, there are all migrating people coming and going, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers are constantly shuttling back and forth, so it is basically very safe. All you need to do is hit the scepter of the Zuo Shu Zhonglang of the imperial court.
But leaving the area actually controlled by Dong Zhuojun, relatively speaking, the role of the flag is very important, and Fei Qian's official position is too special...
"Let's go... take a look..." Fei Qian sighed in his heart and stood up. Huang Cheng and Du Yuan followed Fei Qian and left the tent together.
The command of ancient military formations mostly used golden drums, flags, horns, and messengers. Fei Qian's position included military positions, so he also had a complete set of military command systems.
Among them, the flag is the most important and the most numerous part.
Normally, when a general leads the troops, he must have a big flag, also called a flag. When the commander is fighting, he often has a big flag beside him, and the so-called commander's flag often refers to this. In battle, it often becomes
The target of the enemy's concentrated attack has also become an important node for the morale of our entire army. The officers and soldiers of the entire army are always concerned about where the big enemy is and whether it exists, which may even affect the outcome of the battle.
But Fei Qian has not yet reached the level of a general, so there is only one commander-in-chief flag of "Commander of the Three Armies". Now this flag is standing on the left side of Fei Qian's tent - it is a long white flag, and it says
Four words: "Commander of the Three Armies".
Therefore, this flag cannot be a flag representing Fei Qian's identity. It can only indicate that there is a commander of the unit here, but I don't know who he is specifically.
Therefore, a special general's flag belonging to Fei Qian needs to be made.
This is what Huang Chenglai asked.
Because when Fei Qian left, it happened to be a critical period for moving the capital, and the arsenal, including the arsenal, was sealed. Fortunately, Li Ru personally carried it, so all the items were prepared for Fei Qian. But because of this, it belongs to Fei Qian.
The generals' flags were not made. They were all on their way and were within the control of Dong Zhuo's army. All they needed to do was to put up a scepter for Zhonglang. But now that they have entered the territory of Hedong County, they naturally have to put up a flag.
Fei Qian came under his own banner.
Making a flag is not a difficult task, and the craftsmen who follow the army can do it. Otherwise, what if it is accidentally damaged during the march? Do you still hold a broken flag and wait for it to be replaced when you return to the capital?
The difficult thing is choosing a good banner...
Fei Qian currently holds official positions in both the central government and the local government, as well as in civil affairs and the military. Therefore, Huang Chengcheng was blinded and had to come to ask Fei Qian for instructions.
Fei Qian came to the back camp and looked at the three flags placed on the ground, feeling a little numb himself.
this……
On the left is a blue plain surface with red edges, with the four characters "Zuo Shu Zhonglang" on it...
In the middle is a red plain black border with five large characters "Protect the Xiongnu Zhonglangjiang", and then there are four relatively smaller characters "Sima of the Other Department" a little below these five characters...
The one on the far right is blue with a blue border and a relatively small number of words. There are only three "Shang County Sheriff"...
——The full title of Fei Qian's official position is "Zhonglang of the Zuo Department leads the Zhonglang of the Huns and will send Sima Xing to the county guard." If the official positions are arranged according to the number of words, how can Fei Qian squeeze into the front row...
But now the problem has arisen. You can’t hang three flags on one flagpole, right?
This is too messy.
Set up three flagpoles. Maybe others will think there are three commanders coming.
Just put one up. I really don’t know which one is better to hang. You can’t change it every day, right?
So, which one should I use?
Fei Qian had been thinking about the situation in Bingzhou all the way and was so dizzy. Now that he saw the three flags on the ground, he suddenly felt a wave of malice coming toward him...
"Hang it up on all three sides!" Fei Qian said with anger rising from the edge of his guts, regardless of the situation.
"Ah?!" Huang Cheng and Du Yuan on the side were immediately stunned.
Huang Cheng looked at the flag, and then at the flagpole on the side, feeling a little pity for that flagpole: "Well, Fei Langjun, if you hang them all up, the bottom one will be dragged to the ground..."
The length of the flagpole is all custom-made. The flagpole of the general's military flag should be shorter than the flagpole of the "Commander of the Three Armies". Otherwise, the flagpole will be blocked during the battle, causing the military morale to be unstable. Is it the flagpole or the commander's flag that is to blame?
pot?
Make the flagpole of "Commander of the Three Armed Services" higher?
It's not very reliable. After all, all flagpoles are processed. Carefully selected tree trunks are peeled and dried in the shade, then oiled and painted. They have toughness and strength. You can't just cut down a sapling in the wild and use it as a flagpole.
of……
For example, the flagpole of the "Commander of the Three Armed Forces" is clearly stipulated. The total height of the flagpole is one foot and nine feet. The flag flag is three feet long and one and a half feet wide. There are twenty-five five-color tailbands, and the tailband is two feet and five inches long...
These are fixed and cannot be modified without authorization. Moreover, the quality of the temporarily made flagpole cannot be guaranteed. What if a sudden gust of wind breaks the temporary flagpole made by cutting down trees in the middle of the battle?
So let’s not talk about how to hang it. Just making the flagpole requires a lot of effort. We need to use it now, so there is no time to wait...
Fei Qian estimated the size and felt that Huang Cheng was right. When you go out with this flagpole with three flags, are you planning to show off or mopping the floor?
"Cut all the flags! Then put the three flags together to make one the size of one!"
Huang Cheng said indifferently: "Is this...this...ok?"
Fei Qian turned to Du Yuan and asked: "Wen Zheng, is there any provision in the Han Code that the tricolor flag cannot be used?"
Du Yuan blinked and tried to think back, and found that the Han Code only stipulated the size of the flags for different official positions, the style of the edges, whether there were tails, whether there were feathers, etc. There was really no rule against using three colors.
The flag of...
However, mixed-color flags are generally used to indicate southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. This is a direction. For example, the northeast corner is represented by a black flag with an upper basket and a black color underneath. It is usually held together with the flag indicating the army to indicate that this is the direction.
In which direction are the troops heading...
Using the tricolor flag as the flag of the army generals, I still really don’t...
But no one has ever used it like this, okay?
"That's it. Since there's no rule saying it's not allowed, it means it's okay!" Fei Qian's descendants often did these sidesteps. Anyway, this solved the problem of not knowing which flag to fly, didn't it?
Fei Qian waved his hand, indicating that the matter would be settled as it was, and then returned to the tent by himself, leaving Huang Cheng and Du Yuan to look at each other.
So, while the whole battalion was stunned, the first three-color general flag of the Han Dynasty was raised in the smoke. As a result, many soldiers fell asleep after eating burnt porridge and rice that night.
Because many soldiers who were on duty cooking were stirring, their eyes squinted towards the weird blue, red, and green flag, and then the movements of their hands stopped unconsciously...
Guan Yu sighed: Okay. You just said that no matter what I ask you to do, you will do it for me even if you risk your life. It turns out it was all a lie.
Cao Cao said: No, no! I will never lie to you! What does Yun Chang want me to do?
Guan Yu said: I want to return to my brother. He is with Yuan Shao. Brother Cao, please let me go.
Suddenly, Cao Cao's mind was in chaos and he could no longer speak.
Guan Yu said: What? Are you unwilling?
Cao Cao said: No...I don't want to, but...but I don't want to...don't want to.
Guan Yu said: I asked you to let me go, but you refused. I asked you to send me back to my elder brother, but you refused. I had no choice but to commit suicide.
As he spoke, he slowly stood up and moved his hands towards the Qinglong Sword.
Cao Cao said: I will go with you! How... how can you do it alone?
