Three Kingdoms

Huang Cheng's heroic move of chewing up bird eggshells and swallowing them made Fei Qian look at him with suspicion, but Fei Qian regretted it soon after. If he had known that he was just like Huang Cheng and others, he had even swallowed eggshells. How nice…

Because although the eggshell is not digested and does not provide much nutrients, it can stay in the stomach for a while, at least it will not make the empty stomach walls rub against each other uncomfortable!

This feeling is like thousands of little hands pulling at your internal organs. No matter what you are doing, even if you are moving your legs mechanically, you are always reminded that you are hungry, hungry...

Since Fei Qian traveled through time, this time was the worst.

Not to mention the disgrace and various injuries, the main reason was hunger!

Fortunately, I finally walked out of the Hangu Pass mountain trail at noon, filtered some river water with clothes and drank some, otherwise I would have been dehydrated by now. Although Fei Qian knew full well that drinking raw water like this would definitely have side effects, he couldn't care less about it. He would become dehydrated immediately if he didn't drink it. However, he could still hold on for a while if he drank as much as he could...

However, the consequences were like a camel's sound. The banging sound lasted for a while and then subsided, leaving me even more hungry. It’s been close to twenty hours since yesterday’s dinner, and I haven’t eaten anything except that little bird egg…

Although he had encountered chaos in the market before in Luoyang, even if there was no corn, there were still some beans to satisfy his hunger. But now, Fei Qian really wanted to stuff everything into his stomach, even if I admit it even if I fart while eating!

Just after turning around the foot of the mountain, Huang Cheng, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, lowered his body, and hid behind a bush. He turned his head and shouted in a low voice: "Stop! Hide quickly! There are cavalry in front!"

What?

Fei Qian was startled, where are the cavalry coming from?

The current situation is complicated and confusing. Even if they encounter the Han cavalry, it may not be a good thing. If they are sent by the Hongnong gentry to join Zheng Kui, then there will be a big problem...

The cavalry was divided into two columns, a total of eight people, and came along the road. The leader seemed to have seen the traces of Fei Qian and others, and immediately raised his bow and arrow, as if he would release the arrow immediately if there was any slight mistake. Two cavalrymen came out, pulled out the ring-shou sword, and urged the horses to run!

Fei Qian looked at the leader of the cavalry who was issuing the order. He looked familiar. After he looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. However, he still didn't dare to stand up and shout. He just pulled his neck and shouted: "Zhang Shichang! Zhang Shichang" ! I am Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan!"

Zhang Zhao was stunned, and ordered the other soldiers to put down their bows and arrows for the time being. He slowly stepped forward and took a look. He was startled and blurted out: "Are you a human or a ghost? Ah... Well, ahem, why did Mr. Fei Lang become like this? appearance?"

"This is a long story... Well, well, Zhang Shichang, do you have anything to eat?"

× × × × × × × × × ×

Zhang Liao camp.

In the Chinese army tent, Fei Qian, who had eaten and drank enough, took a shower and changed some clothes, finally felt that he was finally alive again...

Originally, he was under high mental stress. Apart from the uncomfortable hunger, Fei Qian didn't really feel any special discomfort in his body. Now that he relaxed, he really felt sore all over and felt drowsy.

Zhang Liao looked at Fei Qian with a smile, and seeing that he looked a little troubled, he said, "Zi Yuan, do you want to rest first? We can discuss it in detail tomorrow."

Fei Qian shook his head, rubbed his face a few times, cheered up, and said: "It's better to rest after making it clear, so that you can feel more at ease..."

Fei Qian organized his thoughts and then recounted the story from when he entered the pass to when he was besieged by Zheng Ke in the post house and finally escaped by chance.

Then Fei Qian said: "It is now obvious that these people are preparing to block the way to the west at Hangu Pass..."

After Zhang Liao heard this, he didn't say anything immediately. He just asked his soldiers to make some strong tea, and then fell silent.

Fei Qian looked at Zhang Liao's appearance and realized that Zhang Liao might not agree with Dong Zhuo's westward movement, but he couldn't say such things, so he could only respond in silence.

But the question is, can Hangu Pass be defended?

Or to ask a more appropriate question, how long can Hangu Pass be held?

Although Fei Qian didn't know exactly how Guo Pu failed, but to the Xiliang soldiers as a whole, what did the loss of 800 cavalry count?

The entire Guanzhong is Dong Zhuo's base camp. Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers have a pyramid structure, and there are a large number of Qiang and Hu cavalry who have surrendered under them. The leading generals are too numerous to mention - Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Meng, Hu Zhen , Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Wang Fang, Yang Ding, Dong Min, Dong Cheng, Dong Huang...

This does not include the troops of He Jin that surrendered to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang and the Bingzhou Army led by Lu Bu...

Therefore, Fei Qian must have made it clear that under attack from two sides, Hangu Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, but now it is an isolated city and cannot be defended.

So the focus of the question now is, can the Shandong nobles arrive at Luoyang City before Dong Zhuo passes through Hangu Pass?

I can’t say it’s impossible, but…

Disaster.

Very difficult.

Now Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei are surprisingly similar. The leaders are far away from their base camp, and the heavy troops in their hands are also far away from them. Now the competition is which side's troops can arrive first...

But where Yuan Wei was much worse than Dong Zhuo was that Yuan Wei was a temporary coalition after all, while Dong Zhuo's subordinates were subordinates who had fought together in Xiliang for many years.

Winning or losing is actually very obvious...

Fei Qian said: "Does Wen Yuan know who is in charge of the Shandong Allied Forces in Suanzao?"

"Isn't he the Marquis of Xiangxiang?" Zhang Liao said without thinking. After all, Yuan Shao is the leader of the Shandong Allied Forces. This is something that all officials in Luoyang City know.

"Haha, the Marquis of Tongxiang is probably still in Ye County now..."

Zhang Liao leaned forward and asked, "Is that the rear general?"

"General Hou is still in Wan County..." Fei Qian still shook his head and said.

Zhang Liao's eyes widened slightly, as if in disbelief, "...then who is commanding the Suizao army now?"

"Each one is in charge of his own... If we talk about official positions, he should be the most important governor of Yanzhou..."

"Their respective commanders..." Zhang Liao muttered and repeated half of the sentence, and then asked, "I wonder what Liu Yanzhou is like?"

Yes, Zhang Liao is Zhang Liao after all. The key points of the question are accurately grasped. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the well-deserved leaders of the Shandong gentry except Yuan Wei. If only one of these two people were in charge of Suanzao, they would be in a state of disunity. Looks much better!

But now that both of them are gone, as long as the person with the highest official position has the ability and means, they can also twist the jujube forces into a unified rope.

Unfortunately, Liu Dai is not this kind of person.

If Fei Qian hadn't visited Jujube, hadn't witnessed the farce-like scenes with his own eyes, hadn't personally experienced the Shandong gentry's internal strife in the face of a formidable enemy...

Perhaps like Zhang Liao, he still had a sense of luck with the Shandong nobles.

Fei Qian lowered his head and said: "When I wanted to take the oath on behalf of the alliance leader, the first one I invited was Liu Yanzhou, but Liu Yanzhou asked me to take the oath on behalf of Liu Jingzhou, and later it was Guangling Gongcao Zang Ziyuan who took the oath..."

"It turned out to be... Guangling Gongcao..." Zhang Liao twitched the corners of his mouth, showing an expression that didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh...

Fei Qian was silent, which was one of the reasons why he was finally willing to accept the appointment of Li Ruzuo's minister, because the hope of the Kanto gentry's short-term victory was too slim.

So what if we have Hangu Pass in our hands now?

So what if there is strength in numbers?

There were enough Yellow Turbans back then, but they were still defeated by the much smaller Han army?

If we can't work together, trying to defeat Dong Zhuo in Luoyang is actually close to an impossible task.

As for the long term...

We will talk about this later, but there is also a task now, that is, the letters from the Cai Mansion are still in the pass, and Fei Qian wants to get them back...

Please compose your own music for this chapter: themefrommission-impossible...

I can’t believe I insisted on writing two chapters no matter how busy I am...

I get up at 6:30 in the morning, take the time to code 500-700 words, and then I have to go to work to be busy, and then code around 500 at noon, and then code about one chapter after work before dinner, and then code another chapter in the evening...

that's all.

So now I want to add more...

Ahem...

It's simply an impossible task...
