Three Kingdoms

Because Fei Qian had already arrived in Hedong and was on the way to Anyi, he needed to raise a flag.

Near Sili, people are migrating, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers are constantly shuttling back and forth, so it is basically very safe. You only need to hit the scepter of the Zuo Shu Zhonglang of the imperial court and that's basically it.

But outside 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 walked out of the tent together.

The command of ancient military formations mostly used golden drums, flags, trumpets, and messengers. Feiqian's position includes a military position, so he also has a complete military command system.

Among them, the flag is the most important and the most numerous part.

Normally speaking, when a general leads an army, he must have a large body, also called a large body. When the commander-in-chief is fighting, he often has a flag at his side, and the so-called commander's flag often refers to this. During the battle, it often becomes the target of concentrated attacks by the enemy, and it also becomes an important node for the morale of our entire army. The soldiers of the entire army always pay attention to 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". This flag is now 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 show that there is a commander of the unit here, but I don't know who it is.

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, it was Li Ru who carried it himself, 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 they were within the control of Dong Zhuo's army. All they had to do was 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. Feiqian's own flag came.

Making flags is not a difficult task, as army craftsmen can do it. Otherwise, what should I do if it is accidentally damaged during the march? Do you still hold a broken flag and wait until you return to the capital to change it?

The difficult thing is choosing a good banner...

Fei Qian currently has both central and local official positions, civil affairs and military positions. Therefore, Huang Chenggong 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 Zhonglang General", 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 blue edges 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 the commander of the other departments is sent to the county guard." If the official positions are arranged according to the number of words, Fei Qian can squeeze into the front row...

However, now the problem arises. You can’t hang three flagpoles on one flagpole, right?

This is too messy.

Let's 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 rushing toward him...

"Hang it on 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 morale of the army to be unstable. Is it the flagpole or the commander's flag that is to blame? The 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 Armies" 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 changed 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 on it, 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 anxiously: "Is this...this...ok?"

Fei Qian turned to Du Yuan and asked: "Wen Zheng, is there any provision in Han law 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., but there was really no rule that three colors could not be used. The flag of...

However, mixed-color flags are generally used to indicate the directions of southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. For example, the northeast corner is represented by a black flag with a top basket and a black flag 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...

I still really don’t want to use the tricolor flag as the flag of the military generals...

But no one has ever used it like this, right?

"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, doing this also solved the problem of not knowing which flag to fly, didn't it?

Fei Qian waved his hand, signaling that the matter would be settled as it was, and then returned to the tent, leaving Huang Cheng and Du Yuan to look at each other in confusion.

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 asked you to do, you would do it for me even if you risked your life. It turned out to be a lie.

Cao Cao said: No, no! I will never lie to you! What does Yunchang 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? Don't you want to?

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 take me back to my eldest brother, but you refused. I had no choice but to kill myself.

As he spoke, he slowly stood up and stroked his hands towards the Qinglong Sword.

Cao Cao said: I will go with you! How... how can you do it alone?
