Three Kingdoms

Jingzhou.

Outside Xiangyang City.

Although the production order in the Jiangling area, that is, in the southern Jingzhou area, has not been restored much, Jingzhou is still a land of plenty. At least the yield per mu of crops in northern Jingzhou, that is, in the Xiangyang area is quite satisfactory.

During this period, the news from Yingchuan certainly had some impact on Jingzhou, and this impact sometimes seemed inexplicable...

All kinds of true and false news made people in Jingzhou feel a little depressed.

In fact, to a certain extent, the people of Jingzhou are not much different from Jiangdong. Perhaps this is the reason why Jingzhou and Jiangdong dislike each other in history. They both see themselves in each other and lack the attraction of opposite sexes. It's cute, whether it's fencing or mirror grinding, there's nothing attractive about it.

Liu Biao came, and Jingzhou saw that Liu Biao still had some ability. If he couldn't get rid of him, he gave up. As long as he could still fight in the wild, he would start the next round. Then Cao Cao came, and the people of Jingzhou threw Liu Biao away in an instant. What matters is not Liu Biao or Cao Cao, but who can bring them a stable life and the benefits of the countryside.

And now the news from Yingchuan seems to indicate that the benefits of junglers have begun to decline, which inevitably makes the people of Jingzhou somewhat panicked. Compared with Yuzhou and Jizhou, Jingzhou has no confidence. At most, it can only compete with Qingzhou and Xuzhou to compare the length and thickness.

This year's harvest in Jingzhou is pretty good. Well, Northern Jingzhou.

According to past data, it is not the best, but it is also higher than the average. This can be said to be Jingzhou's success. The credit belongs to the majority of people in Jingzhou, and especially to the leaders of Jingzhou, Cao Ren, Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao.

Some people say that new love is old love, but Cao Cao obviously thought that old love was better, so he "threw" Dong Zhao to Jingzhou...

This made Dong Zhao even more silent.

In addition, after hearing some news about Yingchuan, Dong Zhao was even more certain that there must be Guo Jia's plan, and he could only be busy with some "simple" money, food and logistics matters in Jingzhou, although it cannot be said to be unimportant. But I will be a little absent-minded, and I will inevitably think about what I would do if I were in Yingchuan and beside Cao Cao...

Historically, Dong Zhao succeeded Guo Jia. At that time, Guo Jia died on the way to attack Wuhuan. Dong Zhao served as the military advisor for a year. Later, he was not dismissed from his post, but because Cao Cao was promoted to prime minister and was reassigned to another position. Now Dong Zhao Instead of following Cao Cao's promotion to prime minister and staying in the court as Jiuqing, he became the governor of Jingzhou.

"Xun's Wubao... I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome..."

Dong Zhao also imagined the subsequent evolution. He believed that the best balance had been broken, especially after the death of Xun Wang, which would inevitably force some people to jump out, and would inevitably lead to turmoil. Only after this turmoil could the It is possible to calm down again, "So, what will Guo Fengxiao do?" Under such a situation, Guo Fengxiao might be powerless? 』

Dong Zhao's face was calm, and thoughts of this or that were swirling in his mind. Under the swaying car curtain, Dong Zhao's looming figure could be seen.

The convoy left the county.

Dong Zhao finished his inspection in Xinye and prepared to return to Xiangyang.

Along the way, I don't know when a huge roar suddenly came from the woods on the official road. The sound was dull and rolling, "Kill this corrupt official!" 』

"Corrupt officials?" ! Dong Zhao was stunned.

"Kill this corrupt official!" 』

"He's here! 』

The arrow whizzed in, then pierced the car curtain, and landed in front of Dong Zhao with a "thud".

The wind gently opened the curtains, and many figures ran out from the woods on one side of the official road, and began to fight with Dong Zhao's guards.

The clash of weapons and the dull sound of cutting into flesh were intertwined.

Dong Zhao retreated slightly into the car, lowered his body to avoid the flowing arrow, then reached out to hold the long sword at his side and drew it out.

The curtains fluttered.

The sudden attack, or assassination, made Dong Zhao's guards somewhat panicked. They had never thought that they would encounter such a situation, so not only did they not carefully search the situation on both sides of the road, but they were also inevitably panicked for a moment. But with the excellent equipment of armor and weapons, Dong Zhao's guards gradually began to gain some advantages.

It seemed that these assassins in the woods could not hold on for long.

Is that all?

Suddenly there was another strange noise.

Dong Zhao turned around fiercely, and then shouted loudly, "Watch the left side!" 』

These assassins in the woods are just bait!

In order to get Dong Zhao's guards to leave the vehicle!

From the other side, another group of assassins rushed out. Two archers stood upright and were bending their bows to shoot at Dong Zhao!

Something shot from the front of his field of vision, and Dong Zhao fell down violently.

The arrow pierced in and hit the vehicle guardrail on the side of Dong Zhao's head.

A big man in front brandished a sword and roared towards him...

Dong Zhao got out of the car and used the vehicle as a cover. He resisted and shouted for the guards to come back for reinforcements.

The big man chopped it down with his sword, and Dong Zhao shrank his body.

The combat knife got stuck on the railing of the vehicle.

The knife is three points deep.

Dong Zhao stabbed him with his sword, and the big man quickly turned around to avoid it, then punched Dong Zhao in front of his face. Dong Zhao took another step back, and casually struck out with his sword again.

The big man retracted his arm and reached out to draw the sword.

Dong Zhao took another step forward and stabbed the big man in the arm.

The big man roared angrily and had to abandon his sword and retreat again.

"superior! kill him! ” The big man directed another person to rush forward, and then he got the chance to pull out the sword stuck on the railing of the car.

Dong Zhao was a civil servant, but it does not mean that he was as powerless as the scholars of later generations. In the Han Dynasty, scholars could also kill people, and some were even better than military generals.

(Xu Shu sneezed.)

Because of Shandong's fine tradition, weird organizations like the Rangers were not wiped out as cleanly as in Guanzhong, so assassinations often occurred. Local powerful families and county magistrates and township heads could not come to an agreement, and assassinations were also common. Things happened, so when Dong Zhao saw the assassination, although he was surprised, it did not mean that he was weak and confused, only trembling...

Dong Zhao used vehicles and even horses pulling the cart to distance himself from the big man, covering his body, and threatening the big man with a long sword so that he could not get close. At the same time, he was thinking about who was going to assassinate him. .

Shinno's problem?

Not really. Because Xinye has been dilapidated for a long time, there are no powerful and powerful households at all, but they are mainly based on farming. And the farming soldiers have no conflict with Cao Cao, or with themselves. Even if there are, they will not use assassinations. .

So who did you offend during this period of time?

It seems not.

In front of him, the big man seemed to have noticed that Dong Zhao's guards were about to come back. While ordering several other guards who dared to intercept Dong Zhao, he roared and wanted to kill Dong Zhao who was dodging left and right.

If people work hard, they can burst out some strength.

The assassins were obviously dead warriors, and they seemed to have come to assassinate Dong Zhao without any intention of going back. Especially the big man, when he saw that the bait on the other side of the woods was almost wiped out by Dong Zhao's guards, and Dong Zhao's guards were killed the next moment. When he was about to return to the rescue, he let out a huge roar and pressed his whole body towards Dong Zhao. He no longer cared about the long sword thrust by Dong Zhao, and assumed a posture of wanting to die with Dong Zhao. Instead, Dong Zhao immediately felt the pressure and had to retreat and avoid...

The big man pounced on him regardless, even though Dong Zhao had a few moderately deep wounds on his body.

Dong Zhao seemed to have stepped on a pothole in the road and stumbled.

The big man was overjoyed and rushed forward with a roar!

"military adviser! 』

The guard exclaimed, but only saw the two of them entangled in one place, and then fell down.

……《(;Д`)》……

On the top of the mountain, among the shrubs, several figures looked at the official road. After seeing Dong Zhao and the big man fall down together and neither of them standing up, and seeing Dong Zhao's guards surrounding them with shouts and faint sounds of sorrow, they were overjoyed and hurriedly jumped out of the bushes. He retreated from it and walked down the mountain.

"Ha ha! Got it! Go quickly! Go quickly! 』

"Then...are these things taken away?" 』

"Take your shit and stay here!" 』

"ah? 』

"Ah what?" Let's go, hurry up! 』

……(▽)/……

Around the Xiangyang lobby, there is a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps.

All Cao's soldiers had serious faces, staring at any creature passing in front of them, just like if a fly flew past, they would cut it in half with a knife and chop it to death.

Dong Zhao lifted the cloth covering his face, sat up from the ground, and exhaled a long breath, "I almost died of suffocation..."

Sitting next to Dong Zhao were Cao Ren and Cheng Yu.

Cao Ren frowned.

Cheng Yu poured a bowl of water for Dong Zhao and handed it over, "Have you thought of someone who wants to kill you?" 』

Dong Zhao took a few sips, then shook his head and said, "I just didn't think about it, so I pretended to be dead... Is there anything strange?" 』

"Xiangyang?" Not yet. ” Cheng Yu said, “The Cai family, you haven’t come back from Xu County yet, unless someone from the Cai family wants Cai Degui to die in Xu County...”

"It doesn't look like someone from the Cai family." "Cao Ren said, and then waved, one of Cao Ren's confidants held up the assassins' armor and equipment from the side, as well as some items found nearby, "Look..."

"Um……"

"This is……"

Both Dong Zhao and Cheng Yu were unfamiliar with some of these things.

Statue of the Heavenly Master.

"Yellow turban thief?" 』

"Runan?" 』

Cao Ren stroked his beard and remained silent.

Cheng Yu thought for a moment, "It doesn't make sense... Gongren and the Yellow Turban Thief... don't have any old grudges, could it be..." Cheng Yu glanced at Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao shook his head and said: "During this period, I have been inspecting the harvest situation in the local area, and I have nothing to do with the remnants of the Yellow Turban..."

"That's strange. Cheng Yu nodded and suddenly said, "I heard about School Lu's incident a few days ago..."

Cao Ren shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. If he were to kill, he would have killed School Secretary Lu. How could he find Commander Dong?" Could it be that we can’t even tell the difference between people? 』

Although it is not impossible to accidentally hit the passenger car, it is considered a small probability event after all and cannot be regarded as normal.

There was suddenly silence in the lobby.

Because this matter is indeed a bit strange, and Yuanfang can't be found for a while.

"It seems I'd better "die" for a while first..." Dong Zhao suddenly smiled, "It's best to find someone to lie down for me. It's too uncomfortable to be unable to move..."

"Haha..." Cheng Yu rolled his eyes a few times, "Maybe we can give it a try." 』

"Um? ” Cao Ren couldn’t react yet.

Cheng Yu leaned over and explained in a low voice.

……(￣３￣)a……

"What? Condolences? ” He Yi’s hands were shaking a little, “Don’t go! 』

"Then what happens?" ” asked He Yi’s men.

Dong Zhao was assassinated and "dead". Cao Ren ordered a funeral and asked surrounding officials, generals and others to go to Xiangyang to express condolences.

"Just say I'm not free!" ” He Yi blurted out.

He Yi's men responded.

"return! ” He Yi stopped, and then said, “Wait...I want to think about it...”

He Yi clasped her hands behind her back and walked around the hall, wishing she had an extra flower or something in her hand to pull at, "Go, no go, go, no go..."

Go, if something happens, wouldn't you be trapped in Xiangyang?

If he doesn't go, will he appear guilty and arouse Cao Ren's suspicion?

"Come on, please go and ask Mr. Wen to come over first!" ” He Yi was ready to listen to “Mr. Wen’s” suggestion.

The subordinate responded, turned around and went down. After a while, he came back, "General Qi, Mr. Wen went to the market...not in the guest house..."

"Go find it!" "I don't know why, He Yi suddenly felt a little panicked.

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

He Yi's panic was confirmed, "Mr. Wen" was missing!

I've looked everywhere but can't find anyone!

『 @￥ # ! 』

He Yi cursed loudly, vaguely feeling that she had fallen into a trap, and the ropes of the trap were tightening! It choked him so much that he couldn't breathe!

Man dies for wealth and bird dies for food. Is it man or a bird?

It's not stupid or stupid, but it's just luck and greed that can't be suppressed.

The moment He Yi became greedy and couldn't control himself, the outcome was already doomed.

……(～￣▽￣)～……

"sick? ” Cao Ren sneered.

Cao's soldiers nodded and responded, "That's indeed what General He's men said." 』

Cao Ren nodded and waved, "I understand, let's go down." 』

There was silence in the hall.

Dong Zhao came out from behind the screen and sat down.

The three people looked at each other for a moment, and they all saw suspicion about He Yi in the other people's eyes.

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "It seems... this is probably where I will end up..."

Being sick is indeed a good reason, but it is not a seamless excuse.

Dong Zhao nodded and said: "A few days ago, I never heard that General He was suffering from any illness... but I heard that General He seemed to hold banquets, entertain friends, and often get drunk..."

I was so happy eating and drinking before, but then suddenly I had an unbearable headache and had to be hospitalized for medical treatment. I couldn't attend the important ceremony to "condol" Dong Zhao?

If it is a serious illness, there must be signs. Even if it is an emergency, a doctor should report the relevant news. But if it is an ordinary minor illness, at such a moment, you cannot persist for a while, and you may not be able to get praise and favor from others...

Therefore, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

Cao Ren squinted his eyes, "Do you want to rebel?" 』

"I have no enmity with General He, why do you want to assassinate me?" Dong Zhao was still a little puzzled.

Cheng Yu suddenly said: "What if there is no need for any hatred?" 』

Dong Zhao was stunned for a moment, "Zhongde means..."

"What I mean is..." Cheng Yu said slowly, "Is it possible that if I go out of the city to inspect Qiu Huo, I will be the one who is assassinated this time?" 』

Cao Ren's eyes suddenly widened, "So..."

"Report it to the lord." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the storm will be quite serious this time!" 』

……(╯\u0026gt;д\u0026lt;)╯˙˙……

Xu County.

The sudden storm disrupted the "peace" of Xu County.

Yes, "calm", the calm before the storm.

The dark clouds in the distance were surging, bringing a bloody atmosphere to Xu County.

Runan He Yi rebelled!

Hanoi Ly Tong Rebellion!

Even in Taishan County, there was news that the remnants of Changxi were in rebellion...

For a time, the whole of Shandong seemed to be full of beacon fires and news of rebellion everywhere!

"This is the big man!" ” Cao Cao waved his long sleeves and sneered, “Look, this is the loyal, filial and honest man of the Han Dynasty!” This is a high-ranking scholar who always talks about being devoted to court and caring about the people! 』

Xiahou Dun stood beside Cao Cao, "My lord..."

Cao Cao looked up at the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, heavy and about to fall.

"Lord, the rebellion must be put down immediately!" Xiahou Dun said, "If people's hearts are fluctuating and cannot be settled quickly, it will decay and spread, and the consequences will be disastrous." 』

Perhaps the scale of rebellions at each time is slightly different, and the causes are also different, but the overall process and development have many similarities. It is like a burning flame. It is relatively small at the beginning, but once it spreads, even if If it is finally put out, it will be a mess and a black mess.

Xiahou Dun's suggestion was to put out these rebellions as soon as possible. If you want to put out the surrounding flames as soon as possible, in addition to the local garrison, you must have reinforcements.

Because Cao Cao controls most of the military power, the garrison troops in various places are not usually so rich that they can deploy large armies to immediately put out the rebellion...

Take He Yi's rebellion as an example. It was not too difficult for Cao Ren to quell He Yi's rebellion, but the difficulty was whether it could be put down quickly. If he wants to pacify it as soon as possible, Cao Ren will need more soldiers than He Yi. If the soldiers from northern Jingzhou are deployed, there will be loopholes in the defense system in the south or Guanzhong!

Just using Cao Ren's troops, or adding some other county soldiers, defeating He Yi is an inevitable result, but it will definitely take a considerable amount of time.

Once the time is extended, all kinds of long nights and dreams may occur.

"@#￥%……"

Cao Cao seemed to mutter something.

"Lord?" Xiahou Dun said, "Please give the order!" 』

Cao Cao turned around with bright eyes, "Okay!" In this case, send troops! Counterinsurgency! If they want us to kill, we will kill! 』

"Kill them and show them!" 』
