Returning to the old city of Pingyang, looking at the ruins in front of him, and looking at the barren mountains in the distance, Fei was silent for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Feiqian knew that he was facing a choice again, but all the previous choices could not give him much help in this choice, because the previous experience and previous success may not be able to follow and succeed this time.

It's like a beautiful garden a hundred years ago, but once you make the wrong choice, it has become a piece of loess today. Fei Qian looked up, only to see that the thick lead cloud disappeared at some point, revealing the clear sky behind him.

The blue and quiet sky is such a beautiful existence, but in Fei Qian's heart, it is like the original heavy lead clouds in the sky falling from the sky to his heart.

He was really standing between the crossroads again, Fei Qian shook his head with a self-deprecating smile after a little silence, and turned his head to look at the busy Ah Da on the side.

Ah Da came when Bei Qu Fei Qian was recruiting troops, this time he came to support Hedong, Fei Qian also brought these Hu people out, and now most of them followed Ma Yue to Baibo Valley, and there are only about a hundred people who stay with Fei Qian.

Because the soldiers were also quite fortunate to clean up the ruins of the old city of Pingyang in the past two days, Fei Qian ordered a few sheep brought with the army to be slaughtered to reward the soldiers.

When it comes to concocting these mutton, naturally the Han people can't compare to these Hu people, so the Hu people have also shown their skills, set up wooden fork shelves one by one, killed the sheep in three strokes and two times, plucked the skin, and roasted them one by one.

The Hu people are all very cheerful, and they can even sing when they roast mutton, although they don't understand the language, but they can also hear some cheerful meanings from the singing.

Gradually, the aroma of mutton began to emanate, gradually spreading to the entire Pingyang County, and also re-contaminating the old uninhabited city with some mortal atmosphere.

The city used to be completely uninhabited, even if there were some trees and weeds, but it seemed to have no life, but now it seemed to be tainted with a trace of life among the trees and grasses, and even the new shoots on the treetops seemed to be more tender and green.

Under the scorching flames, the mutton fat made a slight popping sound, like the most tempting accompaniment, the Hu people proudly raised their heads and hummed a little song, and the Han people sat together in circles, watching the Hu people skillfully turn the mutton and swallow saliva.

Just like Huang Cheng and the guards around him, they were also looking at Ah Da, of course, they were staring more at the mutton above the flames......

Fei Qian tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Huang Cheng on the side: "Look, people live to eat, whether it is Hu or Han ......"

Huang Cheng nodded in agreement: "Actually, sometimes when I think about it, it's really just for a bite to eat." ”

"If you have land, you can grow food, you can graze, and you can eat, so I desperately want to fight for more land, better land, but one day I suddenly found that there is only so much land......"

"......" Huang Cheng was silent.

"From the current point of view, our current number of soldiers is duckweed, and to feed these nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, we must control the field in at least three county seats, and it will be very tight......," Fei Qian calculated.

The farming technology of the Han Dynasty was too backward, because it was limited by the lack and inconsistency of tools, for example, the plough that ploughed the ground, there were good iron ploughs, there were also bronze ploughs, and the poorer people even used wooden ploughs and stone ploughs, and there were not many standards for the depth of ploughing.

It can be said that the space for agriculture in the Han Dynasty to move forward is still very large.

Near the old site of Pingyang County, there is flat land that can be cultivated.

The place in the north is used as an outpost, a trading bazaar. The smelting smelters now located in Beiqu are still a little more dangerous after all, and it is not easy to do confidential work, and sooner or later they will have to be moved, maybe Baibo Valley is a good choice......

Of course, these things must be passed through the current hurdle first......

Because of the Xiangling incident, the news that he changed the direction of the march has been passed to the Beiqu camp, and now it should be time to compete for patience.

Feeding these soldiers by themselves is already under great pressure, not to mention the Bai Bo Army?

In the past, when he was still in Luoyang, Fei Qian said to Li Ru that the more hungry people are, the more difficult it is to understand control and planning, and when they get food supplies, they tend to eat in large quantities in a panic desperately.

There is nothing wrong with Yong'an County, but the Bai Bo Army absolutely does not have the ability to carry out effective food distribution and control, so most of the people who grab it will belong to whom, in this case, the people of the Bai Bo Army will subconsciously eat as much as possible, desperately eat more, and if they can't eat, they still have to eat, and they can originally supply a week or even ten or twenty days of food, but within two or three days, they will be eaten in panic, and there is nothing left......

Then suddenly when you wake up one morning, as soon as you finish soaking, you may find that there is nothing to eat except for feces and urine all over the floor......

And once they eat the sweet corn, who wants to go back and nibble on the bark and stew the grass roots?

Therefore, before suffering a major setback, the White Polish army will definitely go south to plunder again.

There are two routes to the south along the Fenshui, one is to pass through Xiangling on the east bank of Fenshui, and the other is to take the west bank of Fenshui, and on the west bank of Fenshui, you must pass through the old site of Pingyang County......

Comparatively speaking, Fei Qian also hoped that the Baibo Army would go to the east bank, because the terrain on the east bank of Fenshui was narrow, and it was not very suitable for a large army to march, especially in the case of a mixed peasant army like the Baibo Army, dragging families and mouths, and the old, weak, sick and disabled, in case the offensive momentum was blocked, and then the entire army was stuck in a long area with narrow terrain, hum......

It is not advisable to completely abandon the east bank and take the west bank, the west bank is relatively flat and conducive to marching, but if someone raids Yong'an from the east bank, then the Baibo army will be completely cut off from retreating, and then want to return to the Luliang Mountains, it is simply difficult to climb to the sky, so that it can only be a head-on battle with the Hedong soldiers on the west bank of Fenshui......

However, the Bai Bo army is obviously not a fool, so the most likely situation is to follow the two banks of the Fenshui River and go down at the same time, of course, this will also cause the originally concentrated troops to be divided into two parts, and there will be some attenuation in strength, but what is the best of both worlds, it is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons and choosing the severity.

It's just that now Fei Qian can't figure out who will go to the east coast and who will come to the west coast. While thinking about it, under the blazing gaze of Huang Cheng and other guards, Ah Da cautiously arrived in front of Fei Qian, his waist was almost bent to the ground, he raised a knife high with both hands, and said something in his mouth.

A veteran who understood Hu explained on the side that it was the first knife to ask Fei Qian to cut mutton. The custom on the grassland is to let the head of the Hu people do this, but now there is no leader of the Hu people, so naturally they came to invite Fei Qian......

So it turned out that if it was other officials of the Han Dynasty, it was estimated that they would be very impatient to drive away Ata, because in the concept of many Han people, the Hu people are barbarians, as scholars, they will feel a kind of condescension when they say two words to the people of Pingtou, let alone deal with barbarians?

So what do you do?
