Chapter 403

"My son is wise. Pei yuanshao is really not a great general, but his success lies in his conscientiousness. At present, the military orders from Luoyang are basically well implemented. In addition, he attaches great importance to Hongnong's intelligence. Basically, in five to ten days, he reports the situation of Hanguguan and Hongnong County to the prefect's office." Lou GUI flatters Huangfu Chaobo quietly, then pauses a little and says: "as for the candidate of Hangu pass, since receiving Pei yuanshao's application, GUI has been considering this matter, but at present, he has not figured out who is better to guard the pass. Hangu pass is the gateway to the west of Luoyang, which is no less important than Hulao pass. In fact, the best candidate is Huang Xu or Tian Yu, who are both wise and brave. Unfortunately, they can't move lightly in Longhua... "

Hearing Lou GUI's suggestion, Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said, "yes, well, let's all think about this matter first, and then put it forward for a good discussion during the discussion! Well, you go down first

After they looked at each other, they both stepped back.

The next morning, Huangfu Chaobo talked to Pei yuanshao again, which meant that he should guard the pass without any ideological burden. When he was thinking about having a suitable candidate, he would come to replace him immediately, and then the whole party would set out for Gucheng.

In the next few days, Huangfu Chaobo and his party successively inspected Gucheng, Yanshi and Gongxian. The three counties only arranged 3000 garrisons, but did not put the administrative functions of the county into operation. The main reason is that there are not so many generals to serve as county magistrate, and there is not so much energy to restore the operation of several counties Turn. As a county town, the small town has not built multiple walls like the big city. However, because the three counties are all military towns around Luoyang at present, Huangfu Chaobo has sent several architects and craftsmen to the three counties, so that the guards of the three counties can build an inner city wall about two li long and two Li wide around the county yamen, and prepare to build three villages in the inner city To five thousand troops for half a year. Once there is a war, the three counties can retreat to the inner city at the last moment.

However, after seeing the three counties, Huangfu Chaobo was very satisfied. The inner city walls of the three counties were all under construction, and almost half of the fastest ones had been built. Now, in addition to 3000 soldiers in each county, there are more than 1000 refugees in each county. Looking at the number of refugees, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help sweating on his forehead. It has been half a year since he laid the foundation of the county in August last year. It has been nearly 200 days. The number of refugees in each county is almost five or six every day, which can't even be compared with a small town at the beginning of the new year. However, Huangfu Chaobo doesn't have much energy to manage these things now. After the inspection of each county, he tells the general to send all the refugees above level C to Luoyang City, and only those below level C will be left in the county. Rao is such a case. In the three counties, more than 3000 refugees were finally selected, less than 400 people, only one tenth of them, which is far lower than that in the system update The proportion of 40% mentioned above made Huangfu Chaobo depressed.

It took nearly ten days for Huangfu Chaobo to inspect the surrounding areas of Luoyang. After returning to Luoyang, Huangfu Chaobo ordered his people to take a break. The main generals of all the city passes around Luoyang came to Luoyang Taifu to discuss business in five days. The reason why it was decided in five days was that Huaxiong and Zhao Cen from Hulao pass and Sishui pass were mainly considered. However, in these five days, Huangfu Chaobo was not idle either. Instead, he discussed with Lou GUI one by one all the problems he saw in these days, and made preliminary plans for the solutions to all the problems.

Five days later, that is, on January 30 of the first year of Chuping, the prefect's residence of Luoyang was filled with people in the early morning. By last night, Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen had arrived in Luoyang with 50 cavalry. As for the guards of several surrounding counties, they arrived in Luoyang as early as yesterday afternoon. Everyone in the restaurant in the inner city with early meal, are hidden one after another rushed to the prefect's house. In the front hall of the prefect's residence, the people who arrived first chatted together in groups, waiting for the beginning of the discussion. Pei yuanshao and Zhou Cang were sitting in a corner of the hall. Pei yuanshao worried and said to Zhou Cang, "sunspot, do you think you should transfer me back to Luoyang this time?"

"Well, I really don't know. All I know is that General Huang and they have been deliberating in the prefecture these days. Now I'm responsible for the training." Zhou Cang shook his head and said,

"well, I said, did you ask Lao Dian for me? Sunspot, you know me. I'm just a reckless man. It's OK for me to lead the army. But it's such an important pass at Hangu pass. Lao Pei is worried and scared every day. He sleeps at night with one eye open for fear that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army will fight. My old Pei has a rotten life. It doesn't matter if he loses his life. What I'm afraid of is that he can't keep Hangu pass even if he loses his life. You can help me talk to General Huang and Lao Dian again and let him change me back quickly. Even if he changes you to be the chief general, I'll give you a hand. " Pei yuanshao said anxiously;

"don't worry, old Pei. I heard General Huang say that you should be transferred from Hangu pass this time, but it's not clear who will take over. I think I'll say that when we go to business later. " Zhou Cang comforted him by saying that he could not understand his brother any more. He had been following him since he first joined the great virtuous division. He gave up the chance to lead the army alone several times. According to his own opinion, Lao Pei was not alone. If he could not eat that bowl of rice, he might as well live comfortably behind Lao Zhou. Only this time, because of the urgent military situation, I was stationed alone. I didn't expect that the young master didn't want to invite him back for half a year. This is really urgent.This past words, just let Pei yuanshao put down a snack. They were chatting. Suddenly, everyone in the hall was quiet. A few people came in at the door. They looked up and saw that they were Lou GUI and Zao Zhi. The people in the hall came forward to salute, and there were many greetings in the hall.

"I've seen Lord Lou!"

"Yes, sir!"

Both of them responded to the crowd while giving them a gift. As soon as they got to their seats and sat down, they heard Dianwei's voice outside: "Your Majesty is here!"

As soon as they heard this, they all stood at their own places and quietly welcomed Huangfu Chaobo.
