Soldiers only eat food and grass, but do not directly produce food and grass. As civil servants, they do not produce food and grass themselves, but they have the right to distribute and transport food and grass.
Or it might not be called rights at all, but responsibilities.
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 clerks. Registration and deployment are naturally required to be registered and documented.
And 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, cow 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 distributed as soon as possible. However, 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, monkeys were basically the only 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 there were many people watching him. Naturally, he was working hard and didn't dare to slack off. Finally, Cao Xiu 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 combination of 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 Transfer Camp, even if Chai Yu and others transport the supplies to Tongguan, it does not comply with the process. No more
Not to mention his merits, 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!
The fat little official in charge of the transportation team was so anxious that he was so anxious that he still had no good solution.
The gift was given, but it was 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 had lost weight before his eyes. He was wiping his sweat, but he didn't even dare to scold loudly. He could only complain secretly in front of Chai Yu, "It's a process again, a process! If you really follow the process, that's it. I'm going to do it today."
When we go to the camp, guess what? There is a big tent in the hall with six desks for registration... Guess how many people came to the six desks? 』
"How many?" Chai Yu asked directly without guessing.
"One!" The fat little official raised a finger, "Just one damn one! There are six desks! Just one! And it's late! Even though you're late, you still touch the ink here and there.
I touched my pen, and not even a quarter of an hour after I sat down, I got up to go to the toilet again! Do it!"
"..." Chai Yu listened and remained silent.
"Hey! Why don't you say anything?" the fat little official asked.
"What did you say?" 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's happening now is you. Is this different?" Chai Yu said slowly.
"Fuck! No! Hey! Same! Same, same!" The fat little official waved his hand and walked around twice, "But now it's a damn war! A war!"
"What's the difference?" Chai Yu snorted, "They're not going to fight. They... don't know how to fight... If you really hit them on the head, they will kneel on the ground, and it will be..."
"..." 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 dazed.
…
…
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 transport team not coming? How do I know what's going on?!"
Originally, Guo Jia was doing these things.
But now Lu Changzai can only be the agent.
You won’t know if you don’t do it, but you’ll be shocked if you do it.
This stuff is really too 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 every day makes his head spin three times. If he is asked to go into battle, he rushes forward without saying a word, but
It was really painful for him to read a day's writing, 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 could also understand this. After all, in order to stabilize the morale of the military, many things were not allowed to be known to the people below. This was also the normal operation of Shandong. But in this way, other places would not know.
Guo Jia is dead, and all kinds of documents and information that were originally supposed to be submitted or copied to Guo Jia are pouring over 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 sharply...
(What about Hua? Make money!)
On this day, Lu Chang was floating in the mountains of books and the sea of literature, struggling endlessly, when he suddenly heard the soldiers reported that Dong Zhao was coming. He was overjoyed, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and ran out in a hurry.
From the 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. Finally, we are looking forward to a multi-core and multi-thread...
"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 was silent, neither saying yes nor saying no. He walked forward slowly and stood for a while in front of the piled manuscript desk, with some indistinguishable emotions in his eyes.
"Fengxiao...were you sitting here originally?" Dong Zhao said softly.
"Yes, yes...Military advisor, how about asking someone to sort it out?" Lu Chang responded quickly.
Dong Zhao shook his head, and then sat down on the table beside him, "I'm fine here... just call a few clerks to help... The general can do what he wants. 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 people to go to Tongguan to urge..."
"Just ordinary soldiers can't go." Dong Zhao said, "Send General your bodyguard and go 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, which made Lu Chang feel very relaxed all over. 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..."
"Wait a minute." Dong Zhao didn't even raise his head, "There is one more thing that the general needs to handle."
Is there really something going on? What Lu Chang said just now seemed like polite words, but he didn’t expect that Dong Zhao really had something going on.
"Military advisor, please give me your instructions."
Lu Chang cupped his hands and said.
"I dare not give orders," Dong Zhao said, "but I saw some people from Hedong staying outside the camp..."
"Oh, those people from Hedong say they want to move to Shandong," Lu Chang nodded and said, "It's just an important place for the military camp. How can we easily get in and out? Just let these people from Hedong stay temporarily outside the camp.
After the war..."
"No need to wait, arrange soldiers immediately to send them away. All people from Hedong need to dress lightly, and personal belongings should not exceed twenty kilograms," Dong Zhao said, "There will be people from Hedong coming later.
Deal with it this way..."
"Twenty pounds?" Lu Chang was stunned for a moment, "If..."
"If it exceeds the quota, it will not work." Dong Zhao threw the finished volume aside, then picked up a new volume, "Gather a group together and send a group away. If they don't want to leave...
Then there’s no need to leave.』
"Hiss..." Lu Chang took a breath, "The military advisor's intention is..."
"What the Lord needs is a loyal person, not someone who is greedy for money or stubborn." Dong Zhao outlined in the text, "Twenty pounds, if you want to bring gold, silver and soft goods, you can, if you want to bring dry food and water, it will be fine."
.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 with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death.
For those who are not free and easy, the ruling class will naturally help them get rid of 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 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 there is, selling is legal, buying is not illegal, but riding on it is illegal.
Bianjia said that it can be mounted on the wall and offered, or it can be recycled free of charge.
Anyway, the difficulties of the ruling class will never be in ordinary daily life...
Dong Zhao nodded again but said nothing more.
Lu Chang walked out of the tent.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside the tent and the temperature was not low, Lu Chang felt a little chilly for some reason.
…
…
Lu Chang was far from the only one who couldn't figure it out.
Fei Qian also couldn't figure it out.
The latest information 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.
Surrounding the miniature Anyi City, the huge joint camp of Cao Jun turned Anyi City, which was not originally a small Hedong government seat, into a complete foil.
"Cao Jun, have you turned this place into a huge fortification?"
Fei Qian looked at the sand table and frowned.
On the sand table, the flags of Cao's troops appeared, which were densely scattered all over the huge camp. At the camp gates in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, there were various sentry towers, watchtowers, shooting platforms, etc. There is a catapult behind the village wall that Xu Chu specially noted before...
Just like a huge hedgehog.
Ever since he marched into Linfen, Fei Qian had been thinking about why Cao Cao had such confidence. Even in the current situation, he still persisted.
At first, Fei Qian thought that Cao Cao was "gamble", or that he wanted to win in a chaotic war, just like the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but later Fei Qian denied such an idea...
That's right, Cao Cao's behavior now looks like a "madman".
But could Cao Cao really be a "madman"?
Obviously not.
So since Cao Cao is not a madman, there must be a reason behind his actions.
When Xu Chu and Cao Hong confronted each other, it was slightly reflected in the battle report. Now that Fei Qian saw the sand table model of Cao Cao's camp, and after it gradually became clearer, the feeling that something was wrong became even stronger.
This is a huge camp.
Moreover, the large camp is surrounded by the small camp, and the outer wall surrounds the inner ditch.
There are sentries and fortifications on the surface, as well as some secret passages and traps that have not yet been seen.
The conditions inside the camp explained by Bao Zhong's confidants are also some of the situations around the place where Bao's family is located. The layout of other camps, especially the camp layout of the Central Guards and the Leading Army of Cao Cao, is basically a combination of seven orifices and six orifices. Leading Cao Zhao had always been on Gufeng Mountain, so naturally he didn't know anything about the situation inside the camp.
So now, the only ones who know the situation in Cao Jun’s Zhongyang camp must be the core elites of Cao Jun’s army, including the central leaders and the central guards...
But it is quite difficult to catch these people.
On the one hand, the elites of Cao's army do not dispatch easily. Once they do, it will be a bloody battle. It is difficult to consciously capture some alive. On the other hand, the loyalty of these leaders and guards in Cao's army is compared with that of Bao Zhong and others. , they all need to be stronger, because the families of these people are almost closely linked to the Cao family and the Xiahou family, so it is difficult for them to rebel.
From this perspective, Cao Zhao's reason for surrender is even less reliable than Xia Houshang's...
Let’s put aside these issues first and look at the Cao Jun camp in front of us alone.
It has to be said that this Cao Jun camp can be said to be a concentrated display of Shandong's military power.
Especially in terms of city defense, well, it is indeed the case. Even the city defense of Anyi is regarded as a younger brother in front of Cao Jun's camp.
Originally there was no danger to defend the land outside the city, but Cao Cao completely changed this situation by passing through the ravines between the lands, as well as large and small camps, internal and external fortifications and sentry towers. , turning the entire camp into a huge military fortress. If Fei Qian wants to break through a point, and then drive Cao's soldiers like sheep like a camp downhill, and then achieve a comprehensive victory, then basically Dreaming.
The pattern of camps within camps means that even if one or two outer camps are broken, the internal camps will still be intact. Moreover, the suspension bridge on the plateau can be used to quickly transfer troops at any time, or to cut off Fei Qian's advance channel.
"This is a formation..."
Fei Qian couldn't help but sigh.
Fei Qian had always thought that the so-called Six Ding Liujia Formation, the Seven-Star Beidou Formation, and the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation were all the imagination of the literati. But now after looking at the layout of Cao Cao's camp, he found that he might have a certain understanding of those literati.
Misunderstanding, after all, faced with such a complex military formation, it is indeed difficult for these literati and writers with only some superficial military knowledge to accurately describe the essence and changes of the entire military formation, so they can only use some mysterious and specious terms.
Express your feelings and description of helplessness.
"Cao Jun knows that we have artillery, so we have to turn around when entering and exiting the camp..." Fei Qian pointed to the entrance of Shapan Camp, "Look here, there is a plateau here, like a horse's face protruding from the city wall.
If there are only one archer stationed... within a hundred steps, there is no way to hide.』
Nowadays, artillery bombards the walls of the camp, so there is no problem, but trying to level a plateau...
Then it can only be haha.
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 down 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 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...
