Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3166 Impulse is nothing but multiple devils

The sky was getting dark, and rows of Cao Jun soldiers in Jing County were patrolling back and forth holding torches.

Under the city wall, there is a group of laborers repairing fortifications and digging and cleaning ditches for defense.

Cao Zhen had already posted a notice to calm the people, declaring sovereignty, and then met with several squires near Xing County to comfort them. This was almost the first major event after Cao Zhen entered the city.

Cao Zhen almost understood Li Dian's intention, luring the enemy deep, luring the snake out of the hole, and completely separating Liang Di from the Shen family.

These mediocre squires were so submissive when Zhang Lu came. Later, when Fei Qian came, they also bowed down. Now that Cao Zhen has come, the same is true...

Cao Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of thing before, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem that good.

So what if someone else comes?

For example, what kind of foreign race, will these local squires fight angrily, or will they still prostrate themselves with their buttocks upwards?

Sometimes, knowing what you want is more important than what you have.

Cao Zhen was frowning on the city gate.

Now there is a shortage of food and grass, and Cao Zhen cannot make it clear that he wants to eat the flesh of the local squire.

At least not at this time.

So Cao Zhen could only let the local snakes think of some solutions.

Who made Mr. Shen say that he was ready for Shangyong?

Shen Yi was also troubled. After receiving Cao Zhen's order, he felt troubled.

He went to the nearest squires, but the squires ignored Shen at all, saying that he wanted money and food, and his life. What's going on, the imperial army... Bah, Cao Jun just posted a notice to calm the people, saying that everything remains the same, and now you, a second-rate Caozi, are here to say that you want to cut our flesh?

What's more, Shen Yi couldn't even explain the benefits clearly. She just said that the benefits would be great in the future. Anyone who believed it would be a fool.

Shen Yi could not replace Cao Zhen's promise and say what good things these country squires had. Moreover, Shen Yi also knew that Cao Zhen would not be so stupid. If he really wanted to fall out with the squire and do something that would kill the goose and lay the eggs, Shen would most likely be blamed. If there was really any public dissatisfaction, Shen Yi would be killed. No guarantee.

So, Shen Yi worked very hard, desperately, and diligently ran all day long. After dusk, she came back with a tired look on her face and went to the city wall to see Cao Zhen.

The night wind is biting.

Cao Zhen held the battlement with one hand and asked, "How?" 』

Shen Yi quickly fell down and complained, telling a lot of reasons.

Cao Zhen didn't want to listen to Shen Yi's reasons at all. "Money, food, and manpower are all insufficient. What has Shen's business done over the years?" 』

Didn't Shen have already separated from Fei Qian a few years ago and intended to return eastward? Why is it that after all this time of preparation, there is still insufficient money, food and manpower? Could it be that Mr. Shen is only a master in words but a moron in reality?

Seeing that Cao Zhen's eyes were slightly unkind, Shen Yi also had a headache.

He understood what Cao Zhen meant.

Nowadays, everyone is looking at Shen. If Shen doesn't take the lead in donating one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, will others be willing to donate?

Supporting the Cao family to regain Hanzhong can make the Shen family bankrupt...

Feel sorry.

Shen, like most keyboard warriors, hates two kinds of people the most, one is people who take advantage of their Shen, and the other is people who don't let their Shen take advantage.

The reason why Shen and Zhang Liao and Li Dian couldn't get along was that Shen felt that Zhang Liao and Li Dian couldn't take advantage of him in vain?

Now that Cao Jun is here, can he take advantage of the Shen family?

Don't even think about it.

However, you can't say it so directly.

After all, if you say this, isn't it the same as falling out?

Shen Yi rolled her eyes and said: "General, don't be anxious, I have a simple plan that can solve the current shortage of food and grass..."

Cao Zhen frowned slightly, "Since we have a good plan, why don't we tell it quickly!" 』

It’s already this time, but don’t forget to use your tone.

Shen Yi failed to detect Cao Zhen's underlying displeasure, and still said slowly and even somewhat triumphantly: "In that case, why doesn't General make another contribution to the court?" 』

Cao Zhen said in surprise: "Achieve another meritorious service?" 』

Isn't it a great achievement to take over Hanzhong?

What else is there?

Shen Yi showed a smile, and seemed to think that his idea was very clever, "The general is wasting money and food now, mostly because of the Di people... The Di people are large in number, their combat power is low, and the daily eclipse is not cheap, but they are embarrassed." use……"

It is true that Shen and Di Ren have some contact and have cooperated for a period of time, but Shen actually doesn't feel very good about wanting Liang Di Ren. After all, the Di people and the Shen family couldn't talk to each other. The cultural differences were too big. They mostly used them, and even had to endure the leisurely attitude of the Liang Wang.

Now Shen Yi feels that the manpower brought by his own Shen family is of course very valuable, but those Di people are almost supplementary, and the key is to be able to eat and defecate. Every time when dinner is served, it is like having to live again. On a New Year's Day, so many mouths opened, which of course led to a shortage of food and grass. Now that Cao Zhen is forcing him to solve the problem of food and grass, does Cao Zhen himself feel that the Di people are too big and useless?

Shen Yi secretly glanced at Cao Zhen. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was what Cao Zhen meant. However, Cao Zhen did not want to say it clearly. He needed to say it. "General, the Di people have nothing to do now... General, you might as well send the Di people to Nanzheng first and lead them to fight." Among them... the people who want Liang Di people have no loyalty at all, just like dolphins and dogs, they only know how to eat and drink... If there is no need to ask for Liang Di people, it will save a lot of food and grass expenses... and you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. , watch the Di people and the traitors fight to the death, and when they are both injured, the general can regain Nanzheng... General, in this way, you can not only eliminate the traitors, but also suppress the hidden dangers of the Di people. Isn't it possible to get the best of both worlds and make new achievements? ? 』

…

…

People are so strange. Some people hate Di people, and naturally some people like them.

This preference is sometimes rational and sometimes chaotic.

There are some people in Jing County who have some friendship with the Di people, and these people are often more middle- and lower-level people, such as ordinary servants, ordinary soldiers...

Shen Yi offered advice to Cao Zhen, and he had ears across the wall.

It's not really a partition wall. After all, when Cao Zhen and Shen Yi were discussing, although no one dared to come close to eavesdrop, there were soldiers working on duty and repairing the fortifications under the city wall...

When Shen Yi spoke, her voice was not soft because she was very proud.

The civilian team leader at the bottom of the city listened to it.

The leader of the civilian team, whose surname is Zhang, is half Di.

In the feudal dynasty, when the common people at the bottom get married, they often cannot be like the children of the country gentlemen. They have to listen to music under the moonlight and have the right family. The most important thing for ordinary people is to live their lives, so they don't need betrothal gifts or luxury houses. , Di Ren women who can accompany men to endure hardships are very popular with the lower class people in the Shangyong Hanzhong area.

When the rich fight against each other to inherit property because they have too many children, and the nine insects take over the heirs, the poor do not have these worries. After all, they cannot be poor for more than three generations.

The civilian husband Zhang Dui led his father to encounter bandits in his early years. Han bandits who spoke the same language and had the same habits killed his father's family, but the Di people, who had different customs and did not understand the language, saved his father, so his father later married a Di woman and acted as an agent for the Di people. People's business settled in Jing County.

So now when Han people fight against Han people, it doesn’t matter what the leader rate is. Anyway, over the years, in which year have the Han people not been so intrigued by each other? He was numb.

But when he heard Shen Yi's evil plan under the city wall, he became angry...

Because his mother wanted Liang Diren.

And now, these damn guys not only brought war, but also insulted Di people and insulted him...

The leader of the civilian team looked up.

war of the Damned.

if……

Cao Zhen was guarded by soldiers, but the guy who made the plan seemed not to be.

…

…

Although Cao Zhen did not clearly express his approval of Shen Yi's suggestion, Shen Yi felt that they should be inseparable.

When walking down the city wall to the temporary residence in Xing County, the sinister or proud look on Shen Yi's face turned into a look of concern for the country and the people.

Shen Yi also went to Luoyang Taixue and was gilded, and he was also quite talented in literature. When he was under the rule of the Party, he also wrote some poems and poems to ridicule the eunuchs and criticize the government. He originally thought that he would gain fame from this, and that high-ranking officials would appreciate his talent and gain a place in the court, but it was a pity.

Many people praised him, and there was a lot of verbal praise, but his actual position was not visible at all. He was even targeted by eunuchs because of this, and he was almost killed in Luoyang City. He quickly fled back to Shangyong, but ended up in his hometown. , gained a lot of fame, and was praised by people wherever she went, saying that Shen Yi was a brave fighter against evil, and even Shen Yi herself believed it.

It felt like he was fighting San Lily with those evil eunuchs in Luoyang City...

Therefore, Shen Yi felt that she was right and had always been right.

Di Ren, that's what it is.

It's like a urinal. You use it when you're in a hurry, and you'll throw it away when you're done. Can't you enshrine it like your biological father and mother...

Is not it?

Jin County is not a big city. After nearly ten thousand people arrive here, some people can settle in the city, and some people have to stay outside. Those inside are guests, and those outside are the original owners of this place. Although it was already dark, there were still defense arrangements and material distribution, so there were still many people coming and going on the streets, making it very busy.

In the labor camp, workers worked in shifts day and night.

Almost all the people in Jing County were recruited and worked hard day and night.

Facing Cao Jun's sword, no one dared to say no.

But after all, the tension caused by this kind of oppression will slowly accumulate, like a spring, getting tighter and tighter.

…

…

Under night.

Shen Yi took a guard and walked to the temporary residence.

He successfully diverted Cao Zhen's attention.

If the Liang Di people were indeed big consumers of food and grass, how could they bring their whole family to eat from a big pot?

The landlord’s family has no surplus food!

Of course, Shen Yi ignored, or deliberately ignored, the fact that not only the Liang people, but also the vast majority of the Hu people fought in a way where they were dragging their families with them.

Even the Han people's own Yellow Turban Army was like this.

Moreover, Liang Diren's non-combat troops actually didn't eat much...

But this is not the point. The point is that Shen can also get some benefits from this matter.

When Shen Yi was planning to go back and write a letter to his brother, asking him to plan the territory of the Liang people as soon as possible, he saw a man who looked like a civilian coming towards him.

Shen Yi didn't pay attention until the man who looked like a peasant called him.

The man who looked like a civilian husband was short and did not wear armor. He only had a small flag tied on his back to indicate his identity.

Shen Yi asked lazily: "What's the matter?" 』

Vaguely, Shen Yi saw some anger in the eyes of the oncoming militiamen.

anger?

Shen Yi saw it, but he didn't care at all.

Because he often sees this kind of look, an angry, yet depressing look.

Who cares whether an ant is angry or not?

Maybe they were deducted from military pay and food?

Shen Yi was appointed by Cao Zhen to work as a logistics officer.

The main thing is to ask local snakes to help raise materials, money and food.

Therefore, some civilian husbands have also approached him before.

Shen Yi naturally thought that it was probably someone who had swallowed up their military pay and food.

Working day and night, and having to have their food and salary misappropriated, the accumulated shortcomings in the army are really infuriating.

But so what?

These untouchables can't even be counted. Who can resist cheating them?

What's more, it was the imperial army who defrauded them... er, Cao Jun. Is it possible that Shen Yi could go to Cao Jun to argue with these idiots?

Isn't this a joke?

Although the civilian husband hadn't said anything yet, Shen Yi had actually already thought about how he would first express sympathy, then appropriately express indignation, and finally say something like a thorough investigation, and then send him back... …

It was just like the things he had encountered before where money, food, and military pay were withheld.

"Why do you want to kill Liang Di?" 』

"This is really a pity...huh?" ah? 』

The civilian husband came closer, his eyes seemed to be somewhat ruthless, "I ask you, why?" 』

"What...what why?" 』Shen Yi seemed to notice something was wrong.

Suddenly, the civilian husband strode forward and took out a short blade from his arms.

"puff! 』

"ah! 』

…

…

"What did you say? ! 』

Cao Zhen was about to rest, but soldiers came to report that Shen Yi had been stabbed and was seriously injured.

Cao Zhen was shocked and hurried to the scene.

Only after Shen Yi was stabbed twice did his guards react. After being stabbed twice, the leader of the civilian team tried to escape, but was chased by Shen Yi's guards with shouts, and then bumped into the patrol team at the intersection...

Cao Zhen was a little confused.

Although Shen Yi is not dead yet, she was stabbed under Cao Zhen's eyes after all.

It was like a slap in Cao Zhen's face.

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth, "Where is the assassin?" But a hussar spy? ! 』

Although it was said that a hussar spy had sneaked into the city, which made Cao Zhen look bad, after all, this reason still made Cao Zhen feel that it would be easier to accept.

"Ah, this... General, it's like this..."

The guard came to Cao Zhen's side and muttered a few words in a low voice.

"..."

Cao Zhen was stunned.

Cao Zhen was silent for a while, then glared, "Nonsense!" It was the work of a hussar spy! Behead him and throw him out of the market! 』

At this time, it must be assassinated by a "hussar spy".

Cao Zhen's guards took the order and quickly went down to carry out the order.

Cao Zhen knew that he should go and see the seriously injured Shen Yi.

But he didn't want to go.

What a headache.

This sudden assassination seemed to reveal a very serious hidden danger to Cao Zhen.

There seems to be a very big deviation between what Cao Zhen thinks, what Shen thinks, and what the mediocre people in Jing County and surrounding areas agree with...

Just like Cao Zhen, it was difficult to understand why the civilian leader suddenly assassinated Shen Yi.

why?

This is completely inexplicable!

"Someone is coming!" Go to the labor camp..." Cao Zhen said in a deep voice, "Catch everyone around that "husband spy"! 』

Cao Zhen wanted to figure this out.

Moreover, Cao Zhen was also worried that what he and Shen Yi were discussing would really spread to Liang Diren.

But Cao Zhen really didn't expect that even if Cao Jun and the others held the court's righteousness and expressed that it was the emperor's will, to the people of Xixian County, they were devils.

Cao Zhen believed that he was fighting for Cao Cao's great cause and for the future of the Han Dynasty.

The Shen brothers feel that it is for the inheritance of their family, to eliminate threats, and to shine the lintel of their family...

They each have their own reasons, and they all think they are right.

If the procedure is correct, is it justice?

Then ordinary people naturally have their reasons.

Maybe these people at the bottom don’t know what the future is, they don’t know what righteousness is, they don’t know what truth is, and even when they take action, they are angry for a moment, and they don’t think about any retreat at all...

Maybe, just maybe, maybe that civilian husband Zhang Duili thought that maybe killing Shen Yi would stop the war.

…

…

In the labor camp of Jing County.

The dens, large and small, are scattered everywhere, in a mess, without any plan, and it is very random.

These nests are all newly dug.

The people living in Diwozi are basically ordinary people from the original Jing County.

Originally, they didn't need a house to live in. They all had houses, but now their houses have been voluntarily provided to more distinguished guests from far away.

After all, do you want to give some face to these people who climb mountains and waders, and come over mountains and ridges...

China is very particular about etiquette, isn’t it?

When Lao Zhang didn't come back, someone was worried and went to inquire about it, but came back with shocking news.

It was like a shock bomb was dropped in the underground cave, causing everyone's heads to buzz...

Breathing rapidly, suppressing fear.

"They say Lao Zhang is a hussar spy..."

"Bullshit spy!" Lao Zhang grew up naked with me. What kind of spy is he? If he is a spy, doesn’t it mean that I am also a spy? ! 』

"Keep your fucking voice down!" Don't want to die? 』

"..."

"What are we going to do now?" 』

While several people were staring at each other, someone suddenly came in a hurry and said with a panicked look: "They... they are looking for you..."

Several people were startled and stuck their heads out of the hole to look outside.

In the dark night, a group of Cao soldiers holding torches stopped several laborers in the distance, seeming to ask something.

Several people quickly retracted their heads. Even in the dark, Cao Jun's soldiers couldn't see them clearly, and they still felt scared.

"It's over!" We are all going to die! ” Someone wailed in a low voice.

"quick! Are you really just waiting to die? ! Run away! 』

"escape? Where can I escape? 』

"That's right, there are Cao Jun around!" 』

"You said... if we go to find Liang Ren... Lao Zhang is half a Liang Ren..."
