Farmer of Shu Han

In Huguan City, there is already a scene of war and chaos.

Groups of Wei soldiers continuously moved out supplies from various treasuries.

Food, weapons, armor...

Carried by people, carried by shoulders, transported by car...

As long as it can be moved away, it must be moved away, and no pennies will be left.

Amidst this turmoil, many people in the city became tense.

A few months ago, Huguan's change of ownership only involved the army, and most of the people in the city found that the banner on the top of the city had changed almost overnight.

The soldiers guarding the city changed from the Han army to the Wei army.

Other than that, not much has changed.

Of course, it would be impossible to say that there was no trace of panic.

But Sima Yi issued a notice in time, telling the people not to panic, and Master Wang would not disturb the people.

He even summoned the representatives of the officials in the city to appease the elders.

So Shangdang quickly calmed down.

It can be said that the change of owner of Huguan back then was not as alarming as it is now.

"General! General, why is this?"

"General, didn't you say that Taifu led the army to recover Taiyuan?"

Why does it look like the thieves are counterattacking instead of regaining the old land?

Naturally, it is impossible to hide Wei Jun's abnormal behavior from local snakes.

Some people have even secretly spread the word that the legendary ghost king is leading an army from Hedong.

Some also said that the Taifu was defeated in Taiyuan and had already retreated to Jizhou.

What's more, the result of the army led by Taifu to Taiyuan is unpredictable, and life and death are unknown.

The one who led the army from Taiyuan to the south was Guan Xiaojun who swept across the river in Bingzhou a few years ago.

But no matter what the statement is, it is saying that the Han army has already attacked from Hedong and Taiyuan.

Sun Li, who was in charge of staying at Shangdang, had a tired look on his face.

He didn't know whether he was overworked by the dangerous situation in Shangdang, or the group of young and old arguing opposite him gave him a headache.

"My lords, my lords, be quiet, please listen to my words."

Those who could come before Sun Li were naturally the famous local figures.

Moreover, it must be someone who has donated money and food to Master Wang, and the amount of money and food should not be too small.

So looking at the entire Huguan, and even the entire Shangdang, they are the ones who are most concerned about the war situation.

At this moment when Sun Li finally spoke, everyone stopped their voices immediately and all looked at Sun Li.

Sun Li looked down at the pair of expectant and eager eyes, he opened his mouth, but found that his mouth was full of bitterness.

Before the death of the first emperor, he promoted himself to be the general and the chief history, so that he could assist the general and rectify the country.

But who would have thought that the general was so unbearable?

Although there were rumors in the Xuchang market, the first emperor had long suspected that the Taifu had two hearts, and had been dissatisfied with the Taifu for a long time.

But in fact, many veterans of the Wei Dynasty are really dissatisfied with the general for a long time!

Over the years, Tai Tuo has been sticking to Luoyang to keep out the western thieves.

He even always thinks about counterattacking the Western Thieves and revitalizing Wei.

Now he is personally leading the army and going deep into dangerous places.

On the other hand, what did the general do?

The thieves are too powerful, if... If the general and the Taifu can work together to defend against the thieves, this Shangdang land may not be impossible to defend!

Maybe, maybe we can really win Taiyuan.

How could Taifu fall short in Taiyuan?

"General Sun, what exactly do you want to say, please tell me clearly."

Just when Sun Li's thoughts were disturbed, someone saw that he had been silent for a long time, and finally couldn't restrain himself, and reminded him.

Hearing this, Sun Li quickly put away his thoughts, and said again:

"In the past few days, there have been rumors in the city, and even I have heard about them. I believe that the gentlemen came here this time to determine how the battle is going."

"Yeah!"

"What General Sun said is true!"

Seeing this, Sun Li finally showed a wry smile on his face, hesitated for a while, and then said:

"To tell you the truth, regarding the matter of Taiyuan, Taifu has indeed retreated from Taiyuan and returned to Jizhou."

"impossible!"

Before Sun Li finished speaking, someone shouted loudly: "How is that possible! This is different from what the Taifu said at the beginning!"

"How did this happen, General Sun, did you make a mistake!"

There was an uproar.

Although some people already have the worst idea in their hearts, as long as the news is not confirmed, they must be lucky in their hearts.

Maybe Tai Tuo has already conquered Taiyuan and recovered Bingzhou?

So it's possible that the West Thief's spy is spreading rumors, right?

By the way, I heard that Bandit Feng has raised a group of knight-errants.

These guys, in addition to murder and arson, have many crimes, and often spread rumors everywhere.

Maybe these guys are the ones who released these news...

Unexpectedly, the moment Sun Li opened his mouth, he would directly shatter their hope in case, that kind of feeling was really too bad!

People can't accept it all at once.

"General Sun, what about Shangdang? Taifu is prepared to defend Shangdang? Has he sent reinforcements from Hanoi?"

"That's right, General Sun is ready to defend the Shangdang?"

"Yes, if there is a shortage of food and money, I can still find a way to help prepare another batch of food..."

The person who said this was obviously planning to do a bloodletting.

It's just that Feng Zei's methods are cruel. Thinking about the tragedy of Hedong, everyone present must not be willing to let the thief enter Shangdang.

So even if you grit your teeth and let some blood out, it's not impossible to understand.

"Everyone, all of you," Sun Li stretched out his hand and pressed down, indicating that everyone should listen to him, "Of course the Taifu was prepared long ago, but everyone also knows that the Western Thieves are powerful."

Having said that, he swallowed, as if trying to organize his words.

In fact, in the letter sent by the Taifu, he once mentioned that he should not talk too much to them, so as not to cause people's hearts to fluctuate, which is not conducive to his retreat.

But Sun Li's temperament is sparse, bright and fierce, he can be regarded as a kind of unmarried person, and he has never been willing to do those deceitful things.

Not to mention that in his eyes, these are staunch supporters of Wei, and at the same time they have made great efforts in this battle.

If they were just thrown to the Western Thieves, wouldn't that chill the hearts of the loyal people in the world?

Who would dare to contribute to Dawei in the future?

So he decided to give these people a chance, a chance to choose.

"Everyone also knows that the thieves in the west are very powerful. Although the Taifu intends to kill the thieves, God's will is not fulfilled. What can I do?"

With that said, Sun Li bowed his hands to them and saluted:

"Everyone, although I don't want to raise the ambitions of others, I am indeed incapable of etiquette. I am afraid that I have failed the Grand Tutor's entrustment, and it is difficult to keep the Shangdang..."

Seemingly unable to continue, Sun Li uttered the last sentence with trembling lips:

"So Li is bold, please make preparations early, Li Dang will try to delay the West Thief as much as possible, and give you more time to prepare..."

quiet.

Deathly silence.

After a long time, I don't know if I finally digested these words, a trembling old man leaned on the crutch in his hand vigorously, and asked:

"General Sun, what do you mean by that?"

"Dare you really plan to escape?"

Sun Li had a look of shame on his face, and he didn't dare to meet the eyes of everyone.

He also wanted to obey, but the Taifu's military order made him give up the party and preserve his strength.

Most importantly, Sun Li himself knew that Shangdang would definitely not be able to hold on.

Because the troops in his hands are not enough to defend Shangdang.

If the Central Supervisory Army (that is, Sima Division) can break through Gaoping Pass and hold the gap to the south of the eldest son, maybe they can try again.

Even if you can't win Gaoping Pass, as long as you can hold back the thieves at Gaoping Pass and prevent them from coming out of Gaoping Pass, you can take a gamble.

However, the Central Supervisory Army was defeated at Gaoping Pass, and now it is even a question of whether they can hold the Gaodu City.

I was caught between two fronts of the thief, and I could only deal with one side at most, and the Taifu had already made a decision, so difficult!

"General Sun, according to the laws of the Great Wei, losing land is a serious crime. Now you don't even plan to defend it. Haven't you thought about the consequences?"

Seeing Sun Li, he was still silent.

Quite a few people looked at him with hatred, if not for the guards around him all armed with knives and swords, some people couldn't help but rushed up to compete with this person.

Seeing the anger of the crowd, some wise people retreated quietly towards the door.

into his mother's!

Judging from the situation, Sun Deda has already made up his mind, and he is definitely not willing to defend the Shangdang.

If not, how could you not even pay attention to the felony of Da Wei's loss of land?

Someone came out of the prefect's mansion, looked back, and was already cursing in his heart:

This Cao Wei is really hopeless!

When the late emperor was here, even if he lost his troops and land, which of these generals would dare to easily abandon the territory?

Even if you can't beat the Han army, you have to die to show your ambition-either die in front of the battle, or die in the office.

What now?

The thieves haven't arrived yet, so they want to escape!

"Emperor Wu, Emperor Wen, if you are under the Underworld, if you know something, just open your eyes and see!"

An old man with a bright head was helped out of the prefect's mansion, stood on the street, and cried out mournfully:

"Great Wei's decline has reached this point, if you have spirits in the sky, show your spirits and save Great Wei!"

Since ancient times, all dynasties have given preferential treatment to the elderly who have reached a certain age.

Even if some old people commit crimes, the government has nothing to do with him.

Those whose laws are harsher, at best, make their children take the blame.

Even the later generations with more and more perfect laws can only do nothing to some bad old people...

Not to mention the ancient times where the average life expectancy was generally too short, as long as one reached a certain age, one could be considered a centenarian.

How can such things as auspiciousness be said to be bad?

Right?

So facing this Renrui howling in the street, Sun Li also had a headache and felt helpless.

He told them clearly about the situation in order to make them prepare as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, instead of being grateful to me, these people would bite back.

"Forget it, I have done my best, how they decide has nothing to do with me."

Sun Li let out a long sigh.

As long as you have no regrets.

Right now, I can only comfort myself with a clear heart.

With military orders like mountains and military conditions like fire, it is naturally impossible for Sun Li to spare too much time and energy to take care of other things.

The people must have moved away before it was too late.

But of all kinds of materials in the treasury, it is natural to move as much as you can.

In the past few years, if Luoyang hadn't been the capital of the Great Wei, with the largest arsenal and Taicang in the Great Wei, how could the Taifu have survived?

But no matter how rich Hanoi and Henan are, no matter how much grain is stored in Taicang, it is impossible to support so many soldiers.

If it weren't for Xuchang's side, many old ministers were still sober and advocated to ensure the supply of grain and grass in Luoyang.

In the Luoyang army, I am afraid that during the spring drought last year, they would have to run out of food.

Even so, because of the discord between the general and the Taifu, the food sent to Luoyang from various places is still becoming scarce day by day.

In the future, if the Taifu wants the court to distribute food and grass, he may have to rely on the breath of the general.

Thinking of Taifu cutting down bandits in the front, but being caught by the general in the rear, Sun Li felt even more annoyed.

What a good fighter this time, why did the Taifu take such a risk and enter the dangerous place himself?

Because Luoyang's food and grass are no longer enough to support a protracted frontal battle with the bandits, they can only take risks and seize the key points as soon as possible to settle the overall situation.

Get the most out of it at the least cost.

It's a pity that in the end, it still fell short, the sky is not so big Wei!

With such thoughts in mind, Sun Li didn't bother with those people anymore, but hurriedly walked to supervise the delivery of supplies in the army.

At the same time, he had to take precautions to prevent the Guan thief from suddenly appearing under the city of Huguan and attacking him.

After all, the bandits used soldiers and always liked to use cavalry to carry out raids, so we had to be very careful about this person.

Some people are howling on the street, and naturally, after getting the news, more people will go home anxiously to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Grandpa, what should we do? Judging by Sun Li's appearance, he really doesn't intend to defend the Shangdang anymore."

"At that time, if the western thief really comes, I'm afraid they won't let us go."

The person who spoke had a frightened and nervous expression on his face.

At the same time, there are more people who are regretting:

"I knew the Wei people were so unbearable, why should we associate with them..."

Before he finished speaking, he was scolded by the old man sitting in the chair:

"What did you say! You've done everything. What's the point of saying such frustrating words now? Can you save the situation?"

He took a breath, and at the same time slowed down his tone:

"When we decided to do this, what was the plan? Don't you remember?"

Naturally, it is the preferential treatment of the Tuwei people, who don't want to live under the tyranny of the western thieves.

The old man glanced at the crowd and continued:

"Even if we don't do it, can the thief let us go?"

"It's only been a few years since what happened in Hedong, so forget about it?!"

Under the cloudy eyes of the old man, everyone was in awe.

The head of the long house plucked up his courage and asked:

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

"What should we do? Although Sun Deda has a heavy trust from the court and wants to flee without a fight, he has treated us fairly well when it comes to informing us of the news."

The old man sighed, "Shangdang is destined to lose its hold. What Sun Deda means is to let us follow him."

As soon as these words came out, someone was anxious:

"Grandfather, then our foundation is lost like this?"

"Stupid!" the old man scolded, "When did I say I was going to lose my foundation?"

"That……"

"Family separation!" The old man said heavily, "To be precise, it is clan separation."

"You, the person with the long house, leave Shangdang. Everything done in the clan is based on the long house. If you leave, even if the western bandits get angry again, they will not be able to kill all the people in the other small houses. kill."

Looking around the crowd again, the old man saw what they were thinking:

"I know that there are still some of you who don't want to be with the thief. If you want to follow the long house, I won't stop you."

Having said that, he sighed again:

"But our foundation in Shangdang must be watched by people."

Someone heard the meaning of the old man's words, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock:

"My lord, you mean, you won't go?"

"Go? Where are you going? I am so old, where else can I go?" The old man sneered, "Is it true that the western thief will easily ignore the things we have done?"

"If no one stands up to let the Xi thief vent his anger, those who stay here may have to be buried with him!"

"grown ups!"

"Grandfather!"

...

Everyone couldn't help crying.

"Why are you crying? The old man has lived for so long, and he has already enjoyed what he should enjoy. Go get out and get ready!"
