Three Kingdoms

Pei Xuan sat on the sedan chair and staggered forward.

The surrounding soldiers would occasionally cast some incomprehensible looks, but Pei Xuan didn't pay attention at all.

There were not many people riding sedan chairs in the Han Dynasty, but sedan chairs had already appeared in the Xia Dynasty.

It is said that in the process of water control, Dayu needed to "take four years and plant trees along the mountains." Although Pei Xuan did not dare to compare himself to Dayu, he was still willing to imitate the sages. After all, he was famous for studying the scriptures of the ancient sages of the Spring and Autumn Period. So what's the problem with sitting in a sedan chair?

The so-called "four years" means traveling on water by boat, traveling on land by car, traveling on mud on a sled, and traveling on mountains by riding a horse.

Nowadays, if you go into the mountains and strangle the bandits, you will naturally become a concubine.

Of course, the name sedan is mostly said to have originated from the Song Dynasty. Most people in the Han Dynasty called it "Jianyu", which has a clear image.

In addition to shoulder carriages, there are also titles such as walking carriages and walking chariots, which vary in size. The "chariot" was used by Yin Zhou to transport military supplies. It was originally a human-powered cart. When he went to Qin Shihuang, he took off the wheels and used it as a sedan. He probably thought that this could reflect the style of the first emperor in history. But what he didn't expect was that later generations were much more elegant than him, such as the steps used by Huan Xuan. It is said that the chariot can seat thirty people at the same time, and it takes two hundred people to lift it...

The Han Dynasty preferred horse-drawn carriages because manpower was not scarce, but horse power was precious. Therefore, most officials in the Han Dynasty either rode horses or rode horse-drawn carriages. This habit lasted until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, when the Tang Dynasty began to decline, most officials also began to ride in sedan chairs.

It's different for me, who likes to sit in a sedan chair from the beginning. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty decreed that "non-officials are not allowed to ride in warm sedan chairs", so sedan chairs instantly became a luxury item that showed status and status.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, took over the world, in order to avoid laziness after the peace, he once stipulated that civil and military ministers must ride horses and were not allowed to ride in sedan chairs. However, after Lao Zhu's death, this rule became a piece of paper. Almost all civil and military officials went out in sedan chairs... …

So, what do you see?

Sitting in a sedan chair is comfortable.

When officials feel comfortable, people often feel less comfortable.

These feudal dynasties have shown this in history. When officials do not like to endure hardships and increasingly want to decorate their status with various luxury goods, want to be comfortable, and want to have fun, it often means that the dynasty is about to disappear.

Just like Pei Xuan now.

This requires leading the soldiers into the mountains to strangle the bandits, but walking on the mountain road is so tiring!

There is mud everywhere and the clothes are stained. Doesn’t it mean that you have lost the grace of a celebrity?

Sitting on the sedan chair, being carried by his servants, Pei Xuan leaned on the guardrail and looked at the undulating mountains in the distance. He felt really comfortable.

Pei Xuan knew that this was a great opportunity for him to show himself. In the eyes of many people before, although he was familiar with the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, various schools of thought, and other scriptures, and had specialized in studying them, that was all. After all, he was the first in literature, and some scriptures were different from each other. The explanation is really normal, and it is difficult to convince the other party, but the military merit is real, even if it is a little wet, but the size is there!

So when he heard that there were more than ten thieves, he set out with the soldiers in the county. For the sake of safety, he brought out almost all the fighting forces in the county, and he must use the strongest force to ensure his own safety, uh, to ensure the victory of this bandit suppression.

After all, a lion should fight a rabbit with all his strength. What's the problem with this?

As long as Pei Xuan catches these thieves and doesn't let them escape, this achievement will be like picking something out of a bag.

Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if we run away, so what, the worst we can do is find a few hunters, um...

This was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Pei Xuan decided to go into battle personally and could not let his merits slip away in vain.

Walking and walking, we soon arrived at the place where the bandit trouble occurred.

"County Lord, this was here..." the county soldier leader pointed to a small ferry and said, "To cross the mountain, this is the only ferry... At that time, the merchant guard was divided into two parts, one part was on the ferry side. , and the other part is here. As a result, the thief suddenly rushed out when he was halfway through the crossing..."

Pei Xuan waved his hand, "You've said so much. Now that you know it, why don't you hurry up and search for traces of the thief?" 』

The county soldier leader uttered a sigh, took a deep look at Pei Xuan, stopped talking, and bent down to accept the order.

What's the use of being able to fight?

My official position is higher than yours, so you have to listen to me.

The original idea of ​​the county military leader was to take this opportunity to remind Pei Xuan that this thief actually had something, and it was not as simple as what the county magistrate said, but unfortunately Pei Xuan didn't want to listen to what he had to say. After all, Even if we don't talk about the difference between superiors and subordinates, how can we talk about celebrities and warriors?

The county troop leader conveyed the order, and the soldiers dispersed one after another and began to look for clues.

Pei Xuan stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "The cage is ready, waiting for Chihu to get into it." Come on, make some tea! During the battle, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, but you can still drink a cup of tea..."

"The county magistrate is wise and powerful!" In the midst of talking and laughing, the thieves and bandits were reduced to ashes! The Lord will definitely favor the County Lord, and the County Lord's promotion is just around the corner! ” The bastard on the side lost no time in flattering him, making a crackling sound.

Pei Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Logically speaking, how can a guy like Pei Xuan become a county magistrate?

But the standards for selecting officials in the Han Dynasty were just like this.

It's like no one knows why a vocational college student can bypass the public examination and successfully become the county magistrate.

If he hadn't encountered a big thunder and been poked out, who would have known that there was such a shortcut to Zhongnan?

And how many people take this shortcut to the south?

Pei Xuan came in an open manner and had no intention of guarding against anything. On the contrary, he felt that it was necessary to be flamboyant to a certain extent in order to show his demeanor as a celebrity.

In Pei Xuan's view, these mountain-crossing bandits in the mountains must not know his style. Now that he is coming with great fanfare, he can directly frighten these bandits and make them fearful. And once these thieves are timid, won't they still be able to capture them even if they fight in the end? This is called a good fighter, who should focus on attacking the heart, strategizing, and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

In his opinion, most of these Shanyue barbarians have fled, and even if they are still nearby, it is necessary to show the battle flag and military power to let the poor and crazy Shanyue barbarians know how powerful they are and not to cause trouble.

Pei Xuan didn't really want to kill anyone, with heads rolling in and out, as that would be a bit of a disgrace to the scenery, but if a blind thief really wanted to bump into him and throw himself into a trap, then he wouldn't be polite...

……(＾－＾)V……

Samoko was not smart either.

But this is not necessarily smart.

After all, vision determines the realm. When Samoko was in the Wuling area at the beginning, what could he see? Whoever is braver, whoever is less afraid of pain and death, whoever has greater strength, bigger fists, kills more ferocious beasts and kills more people, is the warrior.

Fighting and squealing all the way, the pigs swooped in, and whoever stayed behind was a coward.

That's all.

After following Zhuge Liang for a while, Shamoko felt that his horizons had been opened.

It turns out that this is how a war can be fought?

The Han people are so cunning! So despicable! How shameless!

I, Shamoke, am a brave warrior of the Wuxi Barbarians and represent the tenacious spirit and outstanding fighting spirit of the Wuxi Barbarians. How could I use such cunning, despicable, and shameless tactics?

Even if I die on the battlefield and die by my opponent's sword, I will still...

So delicious.

The old and weak defenders in Youyang County stood on the city wall, dumbfounded as they looked at the trees and bamboo ladders erected outside the city gate.

this……

Is this still the barbaric South Vietnam?

The reason why Pei Xuan felt that it was okay to take away most of the combat power and leave behind the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the reason why the county magistrate and others in the city did not stop him was because Shanyue did not have the ability to break the city most of the time. Only when the number of Shanyue exceeds a thousand, or even more than 3,000, can it be possible to conquer a city without risking life and death for ant possession. However, although the county magistrate reported less than the number of Shanyue outside the city, it is still far from a thousand, so All you need to do is close the city gate and everything will be fine.

This is what most of the officials in Youyang County think.

So when I saw Pei Xuan taking away most of the combat power, I didn't say anything. On the one hand, I felt that there was no need to dampen Pei Xuan's enthusiasm. On the other hand, I also felt that there was only a few dozen or a few hundred mountain passes, how could it be possible to attack the city? , is it possible to fly into the sky?

As a result, Shan Yue, who knew how to learn and grow, surprised Jiang Dongbing in Youyang. After receiving the news, the Prime Minister of Youyang County, who rushed over in a hurry, looked at the city with his mouth agape, and for a while there was no good solution.

What can be done?

The county magistrate has selfish motives.

Who is not selfish these days?

Because he couldn't understand Pei Xuan's scholars and ancient sages, and he couldn't argue with him, so he could only try to make Pei Xuan fall into trouble in practical matters. In the mind of the county magistrate, a boastful magistrate like Pei Xuan would probably be so frightened that his liver and gallbladder would burst when he saw blood, and he would urinate and urinate everywhere...

Unexpectedly, he was the one who was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst, and he was pissing and peeing everywhere.

Where are the soldiers?

Taken away by Pei Xuan.

『 @￥ # ! ” The county magistrate cursed something unknown, and then shouted, “Let all the young and strong men from the Fang Ding family come up to the city wall! When the bandits break through the city, we'll all be doomed! Leimu! Bow and arrow! Where are the Leimu bows and arrows? What about kerosene? Where is the golden juice! pot! fire! 』

I would like to ask, when the shit is about to collapse, is it too late to dig a hole on the spot?

At the foot of Youyang City, three crooked and eight-cloud ladders grumbled forward. Just like the mobile phone in the Xianyu platform, it is made up of all red parts. The strange thing is that it can still be turned on and run smoothly...

Shouldn't siege equipment be improvised and destroyed during retreat?

Shouldn't it take a few days to build it before attacking the city?

Why did it appear suddenly?

This unscientific!

Is there any science in Shanyue?

Obviously not, they only have experience, so as long as they think it can be used, they can use it!

Therefore, this strange-looking ladder, which is a complete integration of monsters, trees and bamboos, is enough to amaze everyone who sees it. They were all stunned and speechless.

Yes, it is difficult to attack the city with manpower alone, but what about adding cloud chariots?

Even if it looks like it's going to collapse any moment, it's still a cloud car!

Shamoko put his hands on his hips and laughed.

In his eyes, these three cloud chariots are the reflection of the "secrets" he learned from Zhuge Liang!

shake? Collapse? Could it disintegrate at any time?

So what does it matter? Anyway, as long as it can support him to rush up the city wall!

It’s not like we want to make the cloud car a family heirloom. What’s the point of making it so strong and durable?

Shamoko watched Yun Che slowly approach Youyang City amidst the chants of his men. He also took in the reactions of the defenders on top of the city and could instinctively feel the reaction of the defenders. Frightened and panicked, he smiled even more happily and was full of confidence.

"Get the knife!" 』

Shamoko shouted, then took the knife handed over by his subordinates, then waved it twice in the air, moved his body, and murmured something in his mouth, looking like he was dancing.

The surrounding mountains looked at Samoko with admiration and admiration.

"I share my courage and wisdom with you! ” Samoko held the sword high, as if he really showed courage and wisdom, “Five people in a team! A team of five! Get in line quickly! Grab your sword and gun and prepare to attack the city! 』

There is no way, the cloud cart is not strong enough, and it can carry up to five people at a time. If there are too many people, it will collapse on the spot.

Only now in Youyang did someone shoot a few arrows crookedly, and then it was unclear whether they were aimed at the car or the person, which caused everyone in Shanyue to laugh.

According to the custom of the Shanyue people, men are responsible for fighting, either fighting or preparing for battle, while women are responsible for everything except fighting. Therefore, men in Shanyue feel that dying on the battlefield is the greatest honor, which makes Shanyue to a certain extent appear to be less afraid of death than the Han people.

The county magistrate on the top of the city screamed loudly, and even started to become a little split and hoarse because he screamed too much.

There were only a few defenders left, and the young people in the city were good at carrying supplies, but if they were to hold swords and guns, I really didn't know whether they would cut themselves or stab someone else.

Samoko and others don't have many archers. After all, arrows cost money and they are poor.

When the first cloud car successfully reached the city wall, the Shanyue people let out a huge cheer, and then they couldn't help but want to climb up. Fortunately, Samoko still had some sense and shouted, " Five in a team! All lined up! 』

Shan Yue, who was the first to rush up, was very young and thin. He was probably just an adult. He didn't even have a beard. His hands and feet were as nimble as a monkey. He bit his sword and jumped up. In a short time, he rushed to Yun Che. The top of the city wall, and then jumped up to the city wall, startling the defenders on the city wall to scream.

But young Shankoshi was obviously not ready for a fight. He cut down a defender, but was quickly stabbed by several other people. Blood spurted out like a punctured water bag. He fell from the city wall and hit the ground with a thud.

No one in the crowd looked at him twice.

The second cloud car approached, then the third.

At the beginning, the defenders were able to rely on their large numbers to block the Shanyue Wuling barbarians who were rushing towards the city, and killed them with swords and guns. However, as time went by, the more barbarians who rushed up gradually became more and more powerful. There were more, and the physical strength of the old and weak defenders on Youyang City began to decline rapidly.

Don't think that just by holding a small 250-gram brick every day, you can claim to have strengthened your exercise. If you really have to wield a spear or sword on the battlefield, without effective training, you will start to gasp after three or two times, and you will be out of breath after ten or ten times. If your hands are sore, your strength and accuracy will drop drastically soon...

At this moment, Shamoko mixed in with the queue and rushed to the top of the city!

As soon as he jumped onto the top of the city, a sword and a spear came towards him. Shamoko roared and slashed left and right with the sword in his hand, cutting off the tip of the spear. The sword flew away, and then the blade turned and struck the defender in front of him on the neck with a "pop" sound. superior!

The Youyang defender in front of him couldn't even scream. He tilted his head and fell down, spurting blood. He also hit his companion behind him and fell to the ground together.

As soon as Shamoko withdrew his long sword, several more defenders came to kill him. They obviously wanted to squeeze Shamoko into the city while his footing was unstable.

Shamoko shouted loudly, lowered his body weight, and blocked with the sword in his hand. Not only did he block the slashing and stabbing swords and spears, but he also grabbed a spear that he couldn't take back in time, and chopped it down with one blow. His arms then waved a knife and a spear in the blood mist sprayed by the opponent.

If placed in a game, Shamoko would have at least a force value of 80 and upwards. He could be used to deal with the old, weak, sick and disabled in Youyang. The young and the strong were like a tiger among a flock of sheep. After he gained a firm foothold, he started to roar from one end to the other, and behind him, more and more Wuling barbarians gathered in the mountains and to the left and right.

When the strength comparison between the two sides exceeded the vague critical line, Youyang's defensive strength collapsed. The defenders, who had lost their morale and courage, were young and strong. Even though they still had an advantage in numbers, no one dared to turn back and fight against Samoko and others. They just wanted to go home quickly, pack up their belongings and escape.

As long as you can outrun others.

The total number of people in Youyang County is definitely greater than that of Shamoko and others, even ten or twenty times more. But now when everyone is panicking and just thinking about escaping, they are like a herd of noisy sheep... …

Samoko captured the Prime Minister of Youyang County, just like a tiger holding down an old sheep or an old dog.

Under Shamoko's huge slap, the county magistrate shivered and urinated.

Shamoko licked his lips and tried his best to show a friendly smile, but the blood, flesh foam and bone fragments stained on his face and body obviously made this smile not so "friendly", "What is your name...forget it" It doesn't matter what you call it. Do you want to survive? 』

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly. In order to please Samoko and show his harmlessness, he wanted to grow back the degenerated bones on his buttocks and shake them, "Okay, good man... you, you, you, what do you want?" Money, food? It’s all there, it’s all there! 』

Money is an external thing, as long as you can survive, everything is easy!

As long as you don't want life and chrysanthemums...

Well, in the face of life, chrysanthemums are not negotiable...

Shamoko obviously had no interest in the county magistrate's chrysanthemums. He pinched the county magistrate's neck like he was rubbing a dog, "Okay, call some people back, open the city gates, and clean up and down the city..." By the way, when will your county magistrate come back? 』
