From the Chang'an Incident to the current two-pronged attack on Guanzhong by the Han Dynasty, the general trend of the world suddenly surged.
But the person who started this upheaval in the first place is in an extremely embarrassed state now.
Shangluo, which connects Wuguan and Lantian, is the only city that can be considered large-scale after Wuguan. Therefore, grain and fodder vehicles from all over the country will generally gather in Shangluo and then be transferred to Wuguan. After all, Wuguan is a gateway.
The city did not have such a large place to store food. Therefore, Shangluo and Wuguan can also be said to be one.
But compared to Wuguan, Shangluo is more like a huge warehouse.
The streets were dusty, and the inns and warehouses on both sides of the street, as well as the large warehouse of the imperial court not far away, were full of people coming and going, making it very lively.
This time the Guanzhong army was mobilized, all the grain and fodder needed by the army were transferred to Wuguan through Shangluo. The merchants and more women, children, old and young who escaped from the war in Guanzhong from Wuguan and even Xiyang County, Nanyang County and other places were transported after long distances.
After trekking, they finally found a place that at least seemed far away from the war, where they could sit down, rest, and drink water.
Perhaps it is because the war has been going on for so long that most people have long been accustomed to this state of displacement, so when a new war strikes again, they are already familiar with the roads and the familiar roads.
Poor people.
"What can be done? The whole family is still in Chang'an City. Am I alone in Nanyang? If it wasn't to help the shopkeeper escort a batch of cloth to Nanyang, why would I do this?" A small tea room
In the shop, a dusty man wearing short clothes said helplessly. As he spoke, he kept turning his head to look at the side of the tea shop. There was an empty carriage there, which he obviously used to transport goods.
It's a pity that I was in such a hurry when I came back that I didn't even bother to pack more things.
Before the person sitting opposite him could speak, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street, and then a group of soldiers rushed over and controlled all the carriages next to the tea shop, and there were only two or three merchants in the tea shop.
The passers-by also stood up in panic. Immediately, they boldly took a step forward and said, "Several officials, may I ask what you want?"
"The army needs to transport food, and all your vehicles have been requisitioned!" The general leading the team said without hesitation, "Quick, take them all away!"
For a while, people outside the tea shop were shouting, and it was very lively.
"This is our carriage!"
"There are some of my things on it!"
"How could you do this?!"
People immediately wanted to step forward anxiously, but in a flash of light, the first row of soldiers had drawn their sabers and looked at these people warily. It seemed that as long as they had the courage to take a step forward, the swords would fall mercilessly.
on their necks.
After all, these troubled times have lasted for too long, and people have become accustomed to the various rules in these troubled times. It is useless to reason with the army. These soldiers definitely do not mind using blood to prove the authority of the dynasty.
Being able to express protest and dissatisfaction is all these unarmed people can do, but people still have to live after all. Now they just robbed some of their carriages and horses, but they have not taken their lives. This is very important to the general public.
For most people, it is enough. Since it is so natural, there is no need to fight against the government.
The waiter cursed and returned to the original bench. This time, he was really empty-handed. He didn't know how to explain to the shopkeeper after he returned. However, he soon discovered that the man sitting opposite him had been listening to his complaints and complaints.
The nagging young boy's clothes should be similar to his own experience, but he didn't know when he put a few copper coins and left.
Although he hasn't heard what the guy said yet, the waiter doesn't care. At this time, he wants to find a new person to talk to, and there are quite a few in the whole tea shop.
"These big-headed soldiers are also very bad."
"I heard that the soldiers in the south are not like this. They don't plunder or extort, just like the three chapters of the Han Dynasty when Emperor Gaozu entered Guanzhong!"
"Back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty passed through Guanzhong, which we went to Luo. Now, Emperor Li of the Southern Dynasties, who is said to be so miraculous, is the same way."
"If the soldiers from the north couldn't defeat the soldiers from the south, why would they come to rob us for no reason?"
"Everyone, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!" The waiter at the tea shop panicked and stretched out his hand to silence everyone.
But at this time, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were collecting carriages and horses on the street had no time to care about what so many people were saying.
In a small, secluded courtyard not far away, the young man sitting opposite the cloth seller looked back carefully to see if anyone was following him, then he stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in.
"Come in." Another young man standing behind the door pulled him and stuck his head out to take a look before closing the door.
This is Baipao's branch in Shangluo. Although the scale is not large, it is enough for the Yulin riders who have withdrawn from Guanzhong to have a rest. After all, most of them have been protected by Li Mu and left safely.
They dispersed to various state capitals and hid carefully. Only Cheng Feng and the six or seven Yulin Cavalry with him came to Shangluo, and the rest of the Yulin Cavalry will also disperse to various places and leave Guanzhong through other roads.
After all, the road from Shangluo to Wuguan cannot be considered smooth now.
Fortunately, it seems that the Han army will arrive at Wuguan City soon. Cheng Feng and the others can just wait and see what happens.
"Cars and horses have started to be confiscated on the street?" Cheng Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "This is not a bad thing for us. It shows that the war in Wuguan is tight. In order to transport more supplies as quickly as possible, Gao Feng only had to
You can do whatever you want, but the people’s hearts are pushing towards us.”
"Commander, do you think there is an opportunity to take advantage of this?" Yu Qing, who presides over the Baipao branch of Shangluo, is a descendant of the Yu family, and he was able to gain a foothold with the help of an industry that his family once owned here.
"This is pie in the sky, it just hits us on the head." Cheng Feng clapped his hands, "Isn't there something that Gao and He Ruobi are anxious to get in Shangluo? Then we will let him not get it!"
Several white-robed and Yulin knights looked at each other and nodded.
What is your leader famous for?
Burn Xiangyang!
This is almost familiar to both Yu Linqi and Baipao, and it has even been regarded as a classic battle example. Everyone dreams that one day they can create another miracle like Xiangyang.
Now that Cheng Feng was standing in front of them, they felt that this miracle was not impossible.
"Yu Linqi, obey the commander's orders!"
Several members of the Yulin Cavalry were the first to stand up.
The people in white robes next to them looked at each other, but they all stood up immediately.
