Three Kingdoms

The sun has risen a little higher, and the golden sunlight and the bright red blood are a perfect combination of colors.

War drums rumbled past like dull thunder, and the huge military formation under Jiaozhi City began to move to the sound of war drums. The shouts of killing were earth-shattering. Liu Bei's soldiers rushed towards the head of Jiaozhi City like a tide.

The general attack begins.

Liu Bei stood in the formation, directing the actions of his soldiers.

Although arrows are still being fired at the top of the city, the number of arrows has been greatly reduced. Although there are still a few unlucky ones who were shot, facing the surging siege army like a tide, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. To no avail.

The creaking winch sounded harshly behind the formation, and with a huge roar, huge rocks rose into the sky. Some of them flew into the city, some landed on the city wall, and some accurately hit the city gate tower and turret. In the blink of an eye, broken human bodies and fragments of the city wall cracked into mud and stone. It's flying all over the sky.

The catapult is a big killer weapon that Liu Bei inherited from Fei Qian.

In the past few days, Liu Bei had his army craftsmen cutting down trees day and night to make heavy siege equipment. By last night, the first batch of eight trebuchets had just been completed, and they went directly to the battlefield today. The trump card that Liu Bei was reluctant to use before the pass was now facing Shi Xie's last lair, so there was no need to hide it.

There are still a lot of trees here in Jiaozhi, but it is a pity that there are still too few craftsmen, otherwise we should be able to make more instruments...

Under such a powerful stone attack, in less than a moment, all the turrets and gate towers on the west side of Jiaozhi had collapsed. The city was filled with dust and a mess, and screams of misery could be heard endlessly.

Liu Bei waved the order again, and the war drums changed. A group of soldiers began to move forward with a huge battering ram. If they could reach the city gate, such a heavy battering ram would probably tear the city gate apart in just a few hits!

In addition to the battering ram, several cloud vehicles were also launched.

The archers standing on the cloud chariot began to pour arrows crazily towards the top of the city, taking back the losses suffered due to the height difference in the previous few days.

On the other hand, the Shixie garrison on the top of the city was very slow, and even failed to use some effective countermeasures.

Perhaps it was because the reinforcements of Shixie brother Shiwu were defeated a few days ago that the morale in the city was low?

Or is it because the previous siege has consumed the strategic materials in the city, making it unable to cope with the situation?

Or something happened in the city?

No one knows, everything is possible, but now Guan Yu has not stopped thinking about these problems.

As soon as the trebuchet stopped, the wooden planks of the cloud cart were already leaning diagonally on the city wall, and the ramp was more than 200 steps long. The soldiers who had been waiting around the cloud cart shouted and started walking along the The ramp leads directly to the city.

Guan Yu passed over the other soldiers, jumped onto the cloud chariot, drove quickly, almost without any pause, and rushed directly to the top of the city along the cloud chariot.

When Guan Yu actually stepped on the city wall, he could hardly believe that he had climbed onto the city wall so smoothly!

Looking around, all I could see was smoke rising from the rammed-earth city walls that had been smashed by stones. The ground was covered with rubble, wood, and corpses strewn about. Many bloody hands and feet stretched out from under the beams of the collapsed gate tower. come out……

All this seemed normal. Guan Yu had seen a lot of the brutal battlefield, but one thing that was unusual was that he didn't see many soldiers around...

Is it possible that all of Shi Xie's soldiers have escaped?

As if in response to Guan Yu's question, some figures seemed to appear and sway in the rising smoke.

Guan Yu shouted and summoned his soldiers to form formations to prepare to meet the enemy.

A figure emerged from the smoke, but Guan Yu was startled.

Then more figures appeared, slowly squirming forward...

In this world, there are not many people who can make Guan Yu feel troublesome and frown on the battlefield, but these figures in front of him made Guan Yu frown.

It wasn't because of the appearance of a group of brave warriors, not even Shi Xie's soldiers. What appeared in the smoke and dust were some ragged city residents with skinny faces and no decent weapons in their hands. Many of them were What kind of dung fork and wooden stick are you holding...

Although the people in the city were a little cowed in their expressions and actions, when they approached Guan Yu and others, they still shouted and rushed forward waving dung forks and wooden sticks, and engaged Liu Bei's soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.

Without any suspense, the first batch of people in the city who rushed up were beheaded in front of the formation. One of them even threw a dung fork in his hand at Guan Yu. Guan Yu easily knocked it away. Then Guan Yu saw This man was unarmed and didn't even bother to slash. He swung his sword across his body and knocked him aside, bumping into the other two people who rushed up behind him.

These people are ordinary people, almost like the Yellow Turban soldiers back then. They have no armor or weapons. These people have not even gone through the basic training of soldiers...

If it weren't for the different surrounding environment, Guan Yu would have almost thought that he had returned to the Zhongping period, to the battlefield of the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

"Repay the favor!" 』

"Drive away thieves!" 』

Another group of Cochin people shouted, as if to encourage themselves, and then rushed forward.

It was really instigated by Shi Xie and others...

Guan Yu confirmed this again, and some strange feelings arose in his heart, and some pity flashed through his heart, but this pity did not affect Guan Yu's actions. A man next to him stabbed him from the side. Guan Yu easily avoided the sharp edge and without hesitation, he sent the long knife blade into the man's bony chest.

Compassion for the weak does not mean that Guan Yu will be soft-hearted. Back then, Guan Yu was able to fight his way through the Yellow Turban thieves, but now he would not let the people in Jiaozhi City slaughter him!

The long sword whizzed past, and even Shi Xie's soldiers could not resist it, let alone these ordinary Jiaozhi people. Their weak bodies fell down one by one, but there were still some Jiaozhi people shouting, for Shi Xie, for Shi Xie, for To repay the kindness of the Shi family, he risked his life to stop Guan Yu.

Is Shi Xie, or the whole family of Shi Xie, really worthy of you, the people of Jiaozhi, working so hard?

Looking at the thin bodies and ragged clothes of these Jiaozhi people, is it possible that this is Shi Xie's kindness to you?

Guan Yu couldn't figure it out.

If these people have any connection with Shi Xie, or are even well supported by Shi Xie, then there is no problem in risking their lives to repay their kindness, just like the retainers during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, isn't it the same? But these people in front of them are obviously ordinary people who may have problems eating every day, but they actually come to repay Shi Xie's kindness? !

What kind of favor can you repay?

Thank Shi Xie for not squeezing out the last bit of blood pressure from his bones?

Or is it that Shi Xie also rewarded him with some food to survive?

Fortunately, such a weird farce quickly subsided.

As Zhang Fei on the other side broke through the city gate, the city sergeant Xie took the remaining soldiers and ran away under Liu Bei's deliberate encirclement of the three towers. Only then did the Jiaozhi people give up resistance in confusion and despair...

Didn't he say that we would "live and die with the city" together?

Didn't he say that we would "go to hell together" together?

Aren't we "father, son, brother and sister" in all our lives?

Why did we go to fight for our lives, but you...you Shi Xie ran away?

Why?

Why……

……(￣▽￣)“……

There is a kind of morbid psychology, that is, the victim who has been violated will actually say good things to the perpetrator, and even rely on the perpetrator...

What is the name of this psychology?

Fei Qian couldn't remember it. The foreigners' names were all confusing, the transliteration was too long, and the free translation was too weird, so Fei Qian couldn't be blamed for this.

Putting aside the issue of names, Fei Qian did not expect that he would meet such a group of people with similar mentality soon after arriving in Hedong.

A group of kind, ignorant, and even somewhat pitiful and pathetic people.

A sheep, or should I say a group of sheep, is grieving for the wolf and defending the wolf. Can you believe this?

But right before our eyes, it really happened!

Fei Qian sat and listened with a smile, while Xiao Feizhen stood aside. In front of her, there was a group of sheep like this, well, a group of farmers interceding for a big family...

"Mr. Zhao..." an old farmer spoke.

"There is no Master Zhao, it's Zhao Si!" ” Huang Xu who was on the side shouted loudly, which made the farmers cower in fear.

Fei Qian waved his hand to Huang Xu, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a name, it doesn't matter, just say it..."

"Yes, yes, this...this Mr. Zhao...four, Mr. Zhao, is a good man...General, Mr. Zhao is a good man..." The old farmer reorganized his words and pleaded to Fei Qian, "General But you can’t wrongly accuse a good person..."

Fei Qian still smiled and nodded, "That's right, of course you can't accuse a good person unjustly... Tell me, why is Zhao Laosi a good person?" How good is it? 』

"That what, Zhang, Zhang Zhongshi..." The old farmer couldn't remember clearly. He thought about it with some hesitation, but still couldn't figure it out, "That Zhang Zhongshi was too bad. He wronged Mr. Zhao... Mr. Zhao..." ...Zhao Laosi is not a bad guy, he is a good guy, Zhao Zhongshi is the bad guy..."

Zhang Shi's position was engaged, and he also had another position, that of servant. How about now, let's mix the two positions together. But Fei Qian could understand it, so he nodded and motioned for the old farmer to continue.

"Zhao Laosi is a good guy...Zhang Zhongshi is a bad guy..."

There are only two kinds of people in the world, good people and bad people. Opposite the good guys are the bad guys. Those who are persecuted by bad people are good people. This is the simple logic within the flock.

The old farmer's language was very confusing and his thinking was not clear. He talked a lot, but the point was pretty much this...

Fei Qian didn't know whether he should be sighing for the simplicity and kindness of the hardworking people in China, or whether he should be sighing for something else, because listening to the old farmer's words reminded Fei Qian of his experience in later generations. At that time, he was still a working class. Then I bought a bicycle for transportation. For social animals, taking the subway to catch the bus or sharing bicycles is sometimes inconvenient. It is better to secure your own vehicle.

As a result, the vehicle started to have some problems after just a few days of riding, and there was some abnormal noise while riding. Fei Qian thought it was a screw that was loose, but after working on it for a long time, he still didn’t know what the problem was that caused the abnormal noise, so he could only This is feedback from the merchant...

What? Looking for a car repair shop?

These days, there aren’t many repair shops for electric cars, let alone bicycle repair shops.

Fei Qian originally thought that if he could find out what the problem was, he could solve it himself and it would be over. He didn't necessarily have to go to a car repair shop. Although it is impossible to dismantle the whole thing, you can still give it a try if you want to adjust individual parts.

But when Feiqian reported it to the merchant, the merchant's customer service said without saying a word that this was normal. All our cars are like this. How can we call a bicycle if it doesn't make any noise? Cars all make abnormal noises, so it doesn't affect normal use. .

All like this? So, in fact, this problem of abnormal noise has existed for a long time?

So why not improve?

Fei Qian said that if there was any abnormal noise, it would affect the use. The merchant said that the two Gulu can be rotated, but it would not affect the use.

Okay, we can't reach an agreement.

Because it is a large item and I have been riding it for a few days, and the merchant said that all their cars are like this. The problem of abnormal noise is common to all cars. If Fei Qian really wants to return it, he can do it, but the wear and tear fee will be deducted. , deduct the transportation fee, because this is not a quality problem of the merchant, but a personal problem that Fei Qian himself cannot accept, especially if it cannot affect secondary sales.

You have a car that makes strange noises, but you still want to sell it for a second time?

Sell ​​this car to the next one?

Fei Qian couldn't help it, so he posted the problem with the vehicle and the attitude of the merchant online...

The results are gratifying.

A group of people came up to watch, and they all said in unison that Fei Qian was a paratrooper.

Among these comments, almost no one blamed the merchants or explored the root cause of the problem. Instead, they all ridiculed and blamed Fei Qian. Of course, there must be some people who may be on Fei Qian's side, but most of these people have not spoken out, and those who have made comments happen to be another group of people who claim to be chivalrous...

Some experienced people said that bicycles all make abnormal noises, and then said that Fei Qian was a victim and had too much mentality. The merchant said that he could return it and exchanged it, which was already a good attitude. Why should a weak person like Fei Qian ride a bicycle? Isn’t it nice to squeeze into the bus?

A keyboard heroine smiled and said she felt sorry for the merchant's customer service, saying that the merchant's customer service lady was so pitiful, and she didn't eat Fei Qian's rice. It was really unlucky to have such an aggressive and probing person like Fei Qian in the stall.

Some people said that this was the first time in ten years...the first time he had commented on Fei Qian, a paratrooper, saying that Fei Qian was a disgrace and not a human being.

Some people say they should return it if they can't stand the noise. They haven't bought anything, right? Isn't it just a bicycle? It’s as if you’ve bought a luxury car and you don’t want to give it up. Don’t you have seven days to return or exchange it without any reason? Why send it out as a paratrooper for everyone to see?

The peacemaker also said that most of the cars of this merchant are like this, and it will be over after a while. It is a problem of the mold, the tolerance, and the design. This cannot be changed. Fei Qian does not understand at all. , it’s useless to change it, you can still ride it anyway...

Of course, there are also those noble people who said that if you want good bicycles, why don't you buy so-and-so and Chachacha? If you are poor, don't pursue too much. They said that Fei Qian is just a scoundrel who wants cheap and good products. , is it possible that for the price of a 50-cent van, the interior is too labor-intensive?

There are also concise and concise words, and the word "paratrooper" is not explained.

The most interesting thing is the one who teases you with free shipping for 50 yuan to relieve your worries...

Yes, these people are all smart, only Fei Qian is a paratrooper.

But what was the cause of this whole thing? Just a weird noise. Maybe you just need to find the right place, add a spacer or two, or replace the component that makes the sound.

Solve things?

Or solve people?

Fei Qian smiled, feeling helpless. The thoughts of these people are like when a certain incident is fermented in later generations. Some people also commented, "Do you feel honored to bring this kind of thing to the company and the Internet?" 』

Say to the victim:

No one wants to harm you, you think too much...

Just be patient and it will pass...

The same goes for others...

If you have the ability to find a good one...

It’s great that people can do this. Don’t be too serious about your life...

Put the overall situation first...

In the end, I couldn't persuade you, even if you yelled, you are not a good person...

And so on.

It’s simply the same approach but the same purpose.

The key is that Fei Qian knows that some of the people who make these comments may be merchants or employees, but a large part of them are still ordinary people who are almost the same as Fei Qian...

It was like these farmers in front of them were kowtowing to Zhao Laosi and saying good things. Perhaps the reason was just because Zhao Laosi rented them acres of land, let them work, and sometimes gave them porridge when they needed money. You can also lend them money at high interest rates, and there is no such thing as the Wang family in the next county who will rob their land, bully their wives and daughters, and beat their children to death. Then Zhao Laosi is a good person.

In this way, it was worth it for this group of farmers to risk their own lives and block Fei Qian's path to speak and plead for Zhao Laosi. And what’s very interesting is that after these farmers put in good words and begged for Zhao Laosi, would Zhao Laosi thank these farmers for this, and then give these farmers any special benefits?

No, basically not.

Even if there is, it is pitiful.

But even so, these farmers still feel that they should stand on the side of "justice" and redress injustice for the "good people"!

You know, if Fei Qian hadn't noticed something was wrong and ordered the soldiers at the front of the queue to withdraw their weapons...

Of course, these sheep who don't know much about anything but think they know a lot dare to do this. Others... even hundreds of leopards wouldn't dare to stop the advancing army!

Fei Qian listened with a smile, and then told these farmers that what you said is good, I will think about it carefully, and then let people send these farmers away...

Seeing these farmers leaving, Fei Qian ordered to start again.

After walking for a short while, Fei Qian lowered his head and asked Feizhen with a smile, "What do you think of what they said?" Is Zhao Laosi a good guy or a bad guy? Should it be punished or not? 』

Fei Zhen glanced at Fei Qian and said, "Father, you are here to bully me again... Does it matter whether a good person or a bad person is guilty or innocent?" 』

"Hey, it's hard to lie..." Fei Qian raised his head and laughed, "Not bad, keep talking..."

"You must be convicted because of a crime. The key point is whether there is such a crime!" Feizhen hummed and said, "What does it have to do with whether Zhang and Zhao have good or bad character?" 』

Fei Qian nodded, "Yes, your idea is already somewhat close to the third point of Fei's Secret..."

Feizhen became excited, "Really?" Hahaha! So what’s our family’s third secret? 』

Fei Qian touched Fei Zhen's head and said calmly, "Remember, the third secret is to divide people and things... people should be divided into people, things should be done according to things... Of course, it is not that simple to do it in detail... Slowly Take your time, just remember first..."

Feizhen nodded in understanding, and after a moment said, "Then what are these farmers here for?" Could it be that this Zhao Si... is some kind of key figure? 』

Fei Qian nodded with a smile, and then shook his head, "If someone's prediction is correct, this Zhao Si may be just a small crime... At most, it is just a violation of the law of lending... So Zhao Si is guilty or innocent." It’s not important, the important thing is to use this to test someone..."

"What temptation?" Feizhen asked, raising her head.

"You'll find out if you read on..." Fei Qian chuckled, "How about it, is it fun?" Don't you regret going out? 』

"Um! "Feizhen, who was gradually getting used to military life, nodded, "It would be better if I could eat better every day..."

"Haha, we have to wait until we get to Anyi..." Fei Qian laughed, "But when we get to Anyi, there are more fun things to do than eating..."

"whats the matter? Feizhen asked.

Fei Qian kept his appetite low as usual, "You'll know when the time comes..."
