Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 6587 Consequences
When Cao Cao capsized two years ago, the Zhen family relied on their own backing and their financial ability to successfully seize a large fiefdom from Cao Cao's years of hard work, which was what Cao Ang and others said before. Zhen family.
This is not a lie, but from a legal point of view, the compensation for Kandahar Province was actually paid to the Zhen family. When the Zhen family has time to come over and take over the construction, then there will be a fiefdom in the Beigui area. This is also The reason why Cao's subordinates had somewhat fallen apart before.
Because of so many years of hard work, one wrong step was taken away by the Zhen family.
Although when Chen Gong returned to Kandahar with Cao Cao, Kandahar seemed to have maintained normal stability, but in fact, various branches of the Zhen family had sent people into Kandahar, and they were preparing to take measures to measure and construct the area. This is used as a nest.
Unlike what Zhen Yan said at the time, the Zhen family actually only wanted money, and when Cao Cao paid back all that was due, the Cao family had been living in Kandahar, and the Zhen family had no interest. The various branches of the Zhen family were true. I am very interested in Kandahar among the mountains.
Of course, from a legal point of view, it is not illegal for the Zhen family to take away the Kandahar compensation paid to their family. However, after the head of the family, Zhen Yan, opened his mouth, the major branches completely ignored Zhen Yan. Such behavior was a bit too shameless, but The Cao family had no place to say this. After all, what they did was worse. There was no way to refute the Zhen family's behavior. After all, Kandahar did pay compensation to the Zhen family.
As for Zhen Yan, in fact, I still don’t know the major branches of the Zhen family. In fact, a lot of manpower has been invested in Kandahar. I thought the main force of their family is in Media.
"You guys!" Zhen An angrily scolded several other clan elders with a bit of rage.
As an old man who was the clan elder when Mrs. Zhang was in power, Zhen An obviously has deeper qualifications and greater power than other newly appointed clan elders. After a test, Zhen Ming's answer allowed him to confirm this group of people. What he did made Zhen An furious on the spot.
"It's as if you didn't mobilize manpower to Kandahar." After being shocked for a moment by Zhen An's violent roar, the clan elder Zhen Ming retorted with a livid face.
"I mobilized manpower to build Kandahar and to reserve a safe zone for our Zhen family in the mountains and ridges of Beigui, just like Chengdu in Sichuan!" Zhen An said to Zhen Ming with a sharp roar. scolded.
"What you say is better than what you sing, so why don't we discuss it and allocate manpower to build it together." Zhen Mo, a relatively younger clan elder, said with a sneer, "Don't think that we don't know what you think. It's really like what you said. , why are you mobilizing manpower secretly?"
"That's because that idiot Zhen Yan gave up on Kandahar and said that he would let the Cao family continue there and pay it back when he has money in the future!" Zhen An said with a sinister glare at the people in front of him, "We Zhen An How can we allow outsiders to occupy our home?"
Zhen Yan actually has no concept of money anymore. When he goes out to eat, drink, whore and gamble, in Zhen Yan's case, he can't spend much money at all. After all, Zhen Yan doesn't have any gambling addiction, and even the real uncles who open casinos, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, from the level of After extorting money several times, Zhen Yan felt a little embarrassed.
The main reason is that Zhen Yan is the real one, and he doesn't ask Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang for it. Considering that the three parties are all princes, there is no contradiction in themselves. If Zhen Yan doesn't care, they won't be able to tolerate it.
In this way, Zhen Yan, who only pursues eating, drinking and having fun, has enough money for Zhen Yan to spend more than ten lifetimes. What's more, the Zhen family's money itself is constantly increasing in value and can never be spent.
Therefore, based on the idea of benevolence and righteousness, considering that Cao Cao was already miserable enough, there was no need to add insult to injury, the proposal Zhen Yan gave at that time was to let the Cao family continue to occupy Kandahar, and pay it back when they have money in the future, and just draw up the IOU, and the rest Don't care at all.
But just because Zhen Yan had this idea, it didn't mean that everyone else had this idea. After Zhen Yan spoke up, the only one who really gave up the idea completely was Zhen Yan's younger brother Zhen Yao, and Zhen Yao was actually unwilling to do so. I didn't want to, but it was rare that my brother asked for it, so I compromised.
Although in this matter, Zhen Yao also thinks that his own brother is mentally retarded. This is Kandahar. Why don't you just want to let him go? This is a feudal state that can increase its own value.
"So we are outsiders too?" Zhen Ming looked at Zhen An and said with a sneer.
Zhen Yan did not allow it, so they all did it secretly. None of the clan elders took Zhen Yan seriously. No need to be so sneaky.
It is precisely because of this sneakiness that although the clan elders of each lineage knew that other lines were also tampering with this aspect, they never considered that it would be so outrageous when things broke out.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Zhen Yao immediately came to the lobby where the clan was holding a meeting. He was startled when he saw Zhen Yan sitting coldly at the top, followed by two strong men in full armor.
However, seeing his own brother coming over, a smile naturally appeared on Zhen Yan's stern face. Seeing this, Zhen Yao also nodded, intending to talk to Zhen Yan, but when he saw his bodyguard running in all the way, he couldn't help but scold him.
"My lord!" The guard saw Zhen Yao scolding him, lowering his head and stopping, then walked over quickly, and then whispered, "Media's second secret report has been delivered, it is a blood letter from Brother Lou."
Zhen Yao was shocked when he heard this and quickly took the secret report. No matter what the content was, it was good to have intelligence. Moreover, Lou Jing could send the secret report, so at least he knew who the opponent was and what the situation was, so that it would be easier for the Zhen family to recover it later.
However, the content of the secret report made Zhen Yao's face turn green, and even the hand holding the secret report began to tremble, "Assholes, all of them are assholes!"
Zhen Yao's furious voice sounded very harsh in the hall where there were few people. Seeing this, Zhen Yan couldn't help but scold, "What are you arguing about! Wait until the clan meeting is over."
"What clan meeting is there, brother, organize people and kill those clan elders first!" Zhen Yao said to Zhen Yan with bloodshot eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhen Yan frowned. Although he was ready to kill a few ignorant clan elders, consolidate power with iron and blood, and then fight to the death, he never thought of killing all the clan elders.
"Brother, Media fell! Do you know how it fell?" Zhen Yao looked at Zhen Yan angrily and said, "Of the more than 2,400 Zhen family guards, only the 200 people under my name were in Media when Media fell. The entire Media was completely empty!"
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment. He was not a fool. He just liked to live a happy life. At least he knew how many guards there should be in Media Trading City.
"Where is the Roman Eagle Flag Legion?" Zhen Yan asked after a moment of confusion.
"They left last year. After the other party submitted a report and it was approved by both parties, our Zhen family took over the management." Zhen Yao said loudly, "The entire Media Trading City, a large city with a circumference of about 15 kilometers, has only 200 guards. How can it not fall?"
This is what Zhen Yao couldn't understand before. With Media's city defense and more than 2,400 elite guards, even if they were attacked, they could guard the four gates and organize the young and strong in the city to defend. It is impossible for it to fall suddenly. As a result, the situation is clear now.
"Where are the guards? Where are the guards?" Zhen Yan seemed to have reacted and asked angrily.
"They are gone. At least the captain of the guards I arranged, Lou Jing, said that there were only less than 200 of them." Zhen Yao said bitterly, "The elders have transferred the guards away, and the Media Trading City itself does not allow the guards of foreign merchants to enter. After all, there are a lot of prohibited materials inside. If foreign merchants bring guards, it will be very dangerous if they are armed."
The armor and crossbows in the Media Trading City have never been a small number, so when the Han Dynasty and Rome agreed on it, considering the management cost, only the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion of Rome and the guards arranged by the Han Dynasty were allowed to enter the Media Trading City in full armor.
Other legions or large-scale guards need to be accompanied by the elite stationed in the Han Dynasty or Rome to enter the Media Trading City.
It is almost like a five-star hotel in some unsafe places abroad. Only the security guards arranged by the hotel are allowed to carry weapons and wear bulletproof vests. No matter what other people think, they are not allowed to carry weapons. This behavior has greatly improved the safety and professionalism of the Media Trading City.
Similarly, this is also the reason why the Media Trading City has been thriving in recent years. After all, the credibility of the Han Dynasty and Rome guarantees that the safety of this trading city is completely trustworthy.
Conversely, because of the credibility of both Rome and the Han Dynasty, no one has ever thought about the Media Trading City for so many years. Even Ardashir, a figure who can be regarded as a hegemon in Central Asia, has only been buying and selling certain things with his personnel in the Media Trading City. He has never thought of directly conquering the Media Trading City.
After all, doing this kind of thing offends the two existing powerful empires in the Eurasian plate. Therefore, since the first day Ma Chao was stationed in Media, the Media Trading City has never been attacked. Even the bandits in Anxi will bypass this area.
Only wild dogs like Haftan can become bandit leaders. At least they have some knowledge of the distribution of power in the world. Before they have this knowledge of the distribution of power in the world, wild dogs like Haftan are not enough to challenge the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion under Ma Chao.
So from the first day of the establishment of the Media Trading City, there has been no unrest in this place. Merchants who trade here have naturally become accustomed to this environment. The guards in the city will naturally decrease. After all, each guard costs a sum of money.
Believe in the strength of Rome and the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to doubt the professionalism of the empire. Over time, except for a few guys who sell contraband materials, they will bring a few guards in the Media City. Most merchants have gradually become accustomed to the environment where they can enter the Media Trading City without worrying about being robbed.
The elders of the Zhen family are not stupid, but very smart, but it is this kind of smartness that killed them.
No one dared to attack the trading city of Media, but that was only in normal circumstances. In abnormal circumstances, such as the current situation where the remnants of the Parthian Empire who refused to surrender to the Han Dynasty had no grass to eat due to the second round of locust plague, there was nothing they dared not to attack Media.
If they attacked, would they die? Maybe! But if they were lucky enough to grab food and hide in the mountains of the Iranian Plateau, not only would they not die, but their entire family might also survive.
If they attacked, would they be skinned and eaten? Absolutely not, and they were not even qualified to enjoy such treatment. The morality of the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty was at most to build a Jingguan for the enemy.
But is this worth being afraid of?
Not worth it.
When the hungry Parthian survivors had nothing to eat, they would really skin and bone the Parthian survivors and eat them. If that was the case, why not do it?
The Midia trading city actually fell so simply, for no reason. It was a group of Parthian survivors who refused to naturalize and were abandoned by the two Cuis, the Yangs, the Weis, and the Guo Liuyins. Before they formed a group, they tried to attack the Yangs, the Weis, etc., but they could not take down the heavily defended Wubao.
After many people died and turned into food, these people could only find everything they could eat to migrate to other directions, and then gather together.
Laguerre wanted to help. After all, he was a Parthian, even if he was a noble. After suffering so much, he realized something, so he was willing to help the refugees from his homeland who were also Parthians, but his ability was limited, and he even had a conflict with the refugees who had gathered at that time, who had already reached more than 100,000, and finally had to go their separate ways.
Before leaving, Laguerre pointed out a road to these Parthian refugees, "You go west, there is food in the city of Media to the west, maybe it's enough for you to eat."
In fact, Laguerre pointed out this road with no good intentions, because in his impression, Media had a strong city, garrisons, and elite troops from the Han Dynasty and Rome. If these hundreds of thousands of refugees rushed over, they would only suffer heavy casualties and bloodshed. But who made these refugees riot when he tried his best to help, robbed his already limited military rations, and even killed a lot of war horses.
After explaining these, Laguerre left, and no longer had the idea of rescuing these refugees. In his opinion, he tried his best to rescue them, but these damn bugs robbed them of military rations and killed their war horses. He didn't kill this group of people because they were so numerous and their eyes were as green as hungry wolves.
But Laguerre didn't expect that the refugees who parted ways with him were forced to go west and choose the dead end he pointed out, and they actually succeeded in conquering Media.
Or to be more direct, it should not be said that they successfully conquered Media, but that they were completely defenseless, just like the city that never sleeps. After going west and gathering other tributaries, the refugees reached a scale of more than 300,000, and entered Media through the city gate.
That's right, it was not an attack, but an attack.
The entire city of Media fell so ridiculously. This was what the intelligence personnel of various families saw in the shouting and killing before dawn. However, after hundreds of thousands of refugees poured in, the prosperity of Media collapsed in an instant. The fast-growing rice sealed in the treasury, which even most Han people thought was unpalatable, was undoubtedly the best delicacy in the mouths of the refugees of Anxi.
As for the gloves of the four or five families who were short of money recently and were selling contraband materials, their guards added up to less than 50 people. Not to mention only 50 guards, even if 50 internal energy left their bodies, they would only have one way to die under the fearless impact of hundreds of thousands of refugees. What's more, the guards of the four or five families were not in one place, how could they fight against the refugees of Anxi who were stuttering and didn't care about life and death at all.
Similarly, the Zhen family had less than 200 guards left in the Media trading city. Facing the situation where the enemy had already rushed into the city, they were completely useless. After Lou Jing and his men worked hard to kill a wave of enemies, they could only retreat to the government office in the city to defend it.
At that time, Lou Jing had no idea what had happened. He could only see the flames from all directions and hear the roars throughout the city. Media collapsed and fell in one battle. He was uncertain about the situation, but the information that it had fallen was indeed transmitted in this way.
But when it was dawn, unlike others, Lou Jing, who had been supporting the government office, finally confirmed the identity of the enemy, but it was too late. Media was not short of weapons and equipment. Even if Lou Jing and others were superhuman, he would only die if he was trapped in the enemy's formation.
This kind of death was extremely aggrieved for Lou Jing. As a veteran who had experienced many battles, he already knew what had happened and knew that he was killed by the Zhen family. The so-called patrols on the city walls and the so-called night sentries never existed.
That's right, it never existed. There is no curfew or closure in Media, which can be called a city that never sleeps. He has been here for too long and has long been accustomed to it.
Even though he was still worried when he first came, as time passed, he got used to this kind of life. Media, which had never been attacked, also gave people too much confidence, which led to many things becoming formalism.
After Ma Chao left, Media lost its outer city defense and garrison, but Ma Chao had left many times and Media had never had any trouble.
After most of the Zhen family's guards withdrew, Media had no patrols and protection, but the Media trading city was still running smoothly after the Zhen family had been gone for so long.
It was as if the Media trading city did not need guards at all, and only needed the glory of Rome and the Han Dynasty to cover it.
However, the appearance of the Parthian famine broke all this and made the Media trading city fall into reality. The previous stability was only because it was not the time when others dared to touch the tiger's whiskers, and now the majesty of Han and Luo was not worth mentioning in the face of life and death.
It's the end of the month, those who have tickets please vote, it's miserable
