Three Kingdoms

.

Wu Yi knew that he wanted to become a sword.

But some knives are placed in the hall, and some are placed on the butcher's meat table.

If a knife is stained with blood, it cannot be called a clean knife. Naturally, it will not be easy to return to the hall.

But now, Wu Yi can't help it.

He had to follow Xu Shu's request to move and chop somewhere.

Wu Yi sat on the horse, recalling his previous visit to Xu Shu and what he had said.

The Yang family and the Bo family obviously brought humiliation to themselves, but are other people involved...

More importantly, if the involvement is really too big, how will Xu Shu handle it? Oh, that's wrong, Xu Shu would probably let himself take the blame. So the important thing for him now is not to kill as many people or raid as many homes immediately, but to think of a way to deal with it first, otherwise he will dig his own grave.

No matter how slowly the group walks, there is still an end point.

Wu Yi Lei Tong soon arrived at the southwest corner of Chengdu.

Here is the judicial institution of Chengdu, "South Prison". In the traditional Chinese concept, the north is the most respected, the east and west are the second most important, and the south is the humblest. Therefore, emperors often sit in the north and face south. Imperial palaces or important political buildings are often built in the city. North of the center. Therefore, prisons in most cities are generally built further south, so they are called "Southern Prisons".

Wu Yi has not been here since he got the temporary law enforcement position assigned by Xu Shu.

I don't know if it was a psychological feeling, but Wu Yi felt that this place was eerie, as if even the stone slabs under his feet were feeling cold.

Lei Tong had an indifferent attitude. He followed Wu Yi with eight-character steps, making it clear that Wu Yi was the leader in everything. He also seemed to be nakedly saying that he was here to monitor or supervise Wu Yi. Yi's.

The minor officials in the South Prison, such as Zaoyi, had already received the news. They all came to the courtyard to wait. When they saw Wu Yi entering the door, they all raised their hands in greeting, "See Wu Thief Cao!" 』

Thief Cao...

From today on, he is no longer Congcao.

Wu Yi nodded expressionlessly, walked across the courtyard and into the hall with his head held high.

Lei Tong was smiling behind him, nodding to this person and raising his eyebrows to that person.

Compared to Wu Yi, Lei Tong seems to be more relaxed. It's not that he doesn't know the powerful relationship, but he thinks it is a good opportunity to make money. If you leave the bulk to the higher-ups, you can still get some oil and water by yourself, right?

As for whether there will be any problems in the future, Lei Tong doesn't care at all. He was originally from Di, and would not be accepted by the gentry of Sichuan and Shu. He had not been accepted before. Could it be that if he showed mercy, would these gentry and squires be grateful to him?

Therefore, Lei Tong didn't have any psychological burden at all, and he was secretly preparing to see Wu Yi's jokes.

In the hall, there are no plaques with the words "Mirror Hanging High" or "Blue Sky and White Sun". There is only a pattern of Xie Zhi carved on the table in the middle. There is also a red and black screen behind the table, and there are also Haechi patterns on the screen.

The entire hall is mainly red and black, with no particularly luxurious patterns and almost no other colors. Even the wooden boards under the feet were painted black.

Wu Yi felt heavy every step he took.

From then on, I was really tied up with Fei Qian and boarded this chariot...

No, he is not even qualified to board the car at the moment. He can only risk his life to pull the car, hoping that one day he can change from pulling the car to riding in the car...

Before, I could deceive myself and others, but from now on...

"Tie Cao, please take a seat." 』

It turned out that the assistant officer of Nan Prison extended his hand to invite him, interrupting Wu Yi's thoughts.

Wu Yi pondered for a moment, his steps seemed to be stuck in mud and water.

If you take this step, you may never be able to take it back...

But we have come this far, what can we do?

In full view of everyone, Wu Yi sighed quietly, then walked up and sat down.

After Wu Yi sat down, the others paid their respects again and went through the process before taking their seats on both sides.

Wu Yi looked around.

Lei Tong also put away the amusement on his face and sat upright.

"Everyone here is knowledgeable about justice, upright and impartial. Recently, there have been rebellions and disturbances in Sichuan, and the people are uneasy. This is what you and I are responsible for. A few days ago, your envoy called me and entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. I deeply feel that the responsibility is heavy..."

Of course there is nothing wrong with Wu Yi saying some words for the occasion.

The people below all bowed their heads quietly and listened silently.

Wu Yi said, his voice gradually getting louder, "There are lawless people in Sichuan and Sichuan who associate with Jiangdong thieves and want to commit treason. People from the Yang family and the Bo family are definitely not the only ones!" 』

Wu Yi stood up, and everyone else, including Lei Tong, also stood up and listened to the order.

"If there is any unavoidable reason for having close friendship with Jiangdong thieves in the past, you can submit a confession within five days and go to the South Prison for investigation, and you may be exempted from responsibility." If there are those who are stubborn and stubborn..."

Wu Yi paused.

The red and black surrounding it looked like coagulated blood.

"According to the law, confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!" 』

"Don't blame me for not predicting what I said!" 』

…

…

In the land east of the river, the flying snow became much sparser, but the vision was still hazy.

The soldiers and generals deployed in accordance with the orders, and the orderly spacing echoed the instructions of the military academy. The sound of their footsteps and the clash of armor, swords and guns, mixed with the sound of shouts, formed a symphony on the battlefield.

This is a clever tactical layout and one of the most changeable formations.

The Yanyue Formation is to arrange soldiers in a shape similar to a curved crescent, dividing the entire army into left and right wings and the main force in the middle, forming an arc-shaped formation that is narrow in front and wide in the back. You can use the bending of the two wings to encircle and flank the enemy, and you can also use the main force in the middle to break through and support.

It was like a waxing moon hanging above the battlefield.

Cao Hong stood high.

Behind Cao Hong are various flags.

Cao Jun's formation came slowly. Seeing the changes in the direction of Cao Jun's flags, Sima Yi knew that their attack would be divided into three directions. He slowly uttered three words, "Yue Yue Formation." 』

The slowly approaching soldiers of Cao's army made the whole air seem suffocating and stuffy.

Sima Yi looked around and suddenly smiled, "This array is originally the one that is best at changing among the eight Yin Fu arrays... but now it is used for offense..."

In the history of Chinese wars, it seems that the array has become a secret that is not passed down by each family...

Actually, there is really no way to "pass" it.

As for the many drawings of ancient arrays in later generations, they are actually like the "ghost drawings" given to military commanders by civil servants during the Southern Song Dynasty, and they are the product of the imagination of the rear.

In fact, arrays are just that.

There will be no good outcome if you just follow the drawings.

Because the battlefield is not flat like a blueprint. Maybe it happens to be low-lying land or a pond in some places. Is it possible to let the soldiers enter it and sacrifice a batch before the war starts?

It is said that the Yellow Emperor had five formations, then Jiang Taigong had eight formations, and then Sun Tzu had twelve formations...

But in fact, everything remains the same. The purpose of the array is to locally form "more to defeat less". Utilize the local advantages of the array to block the enemy's field of vision, allowing the enemy trapped in the array to withstand attacks from multiple directions at the same time, reducing their own losses, thereby further expanding their advantages.

"Playing like this..." Sima Yi sneered, "As everyone knows, the formations of ancient and modern times are as simple as they come..."

He shouted loudly: "Send the order!" Form a circle! 』

The flag bearer next to Sima Yi immediately raised the flag in his hand and displayed it to all directions.

The non-commissioned officers of various departments who were watching his flag immediately issued orders one after another, and the soldiers responded and changed formations in accordance with the orders.

Following the flag and drum orders of the Chinese army, the small square array that originally had a five-flowered shape quickly closed up, and then slowly expanded to all sides, and finally turned into a large array with an inner hollow and an outer circle.

The vicinity of Zhang Yangchi is relatively flat except for the swamp on one side. There are not many hills and slopes. There is no particularly good place to rely on for defense. Even if Sima Yi has a military stronghold, it cannot be fixed. Like a city, it could withstand Cao Jun's attack. And it is not a good idea to defend the army stronghold, because it will cause one's side to lose the initiative.

In the wild, there is no distinction between front, rear, left and right. The opponent can besiege the military stronghold, but without strategic depth, the military stronghold can only fall into a situation of slowly waiting to die. As long as the opponent wants to, as long as he can find an opportunity, the flanks and rear will be the target of his opponent's attack.

Therefore, Sima Yi had to fight and relied on the military stronghold to take the initiative to fight.

Setting up a circular formation is the most suitable.

In the wild, the circular formation saves troops and is more conducive to defense.

And as long as the battle situation is successful, the circle formation can become other offensive formations as long as it is slightly expanded.

Sima Yi planned to defend first, and after severely weakening Cao's army, he would switch from defense to offense to give Cao Hong, who was showing off his formation, some color.

…

…

"Cao's army rushes to attack Zhang Yangchi?" 』

Fei Qian stood in front of the sand table and looked at the little blue people piled together on the sand table.

"Is Cao Jun trying to capture Pubanjin?" ” asked Zhang Xiu.

Judging from the current direction of Cao Jun's military front, this is indeed the case.

To the west of Zhangyangchi is Puban County, and then after passing Puban County to the west is Pubanjin.

"How thick is Kabanjin ice?" ” Fei Qian asked Xun Chen on the side.

Xun Chen said: "According to the scouts' report, the ice is three inches thick. 』

"Three inches..." Fei Qian pinched his beard, "You must have at least five inches before you can try to march..."

Ice below three inches cannot bear the weight of men and horses, but three inches is enough for pedestrians. It has to be five inches long before it can bear the weight of multiple people, but even so, walking alone on the ice is completely different from walking an army.

Strictly speaking, it requires at least one foot of ice to be considered relatively safe.

It is impossible for Cao Cao not to know this.

So was Cao Cao's attack on Zhang Yangchi really just for Pu Banjin?

"Cao Mengde... is for victory..." Fei Qian smiled and said, "Cao Mengde looks like he is desperate, but in fact... he is preparing to make a Guandu reappearance..."

Xun Chen nodded and said, "My lord is wise." 』

Zhang Xiu scratched his head.

Fei Qian waved his hand and motioned for Xun Chen to explain to Zhang Xiu.

Xun Chen bowed his hands to Fei Qiangong, then stood a step forward, approached the sand table, held his sleeves with one hand, pointed with the other and said: "At this point in the battle, Cao's army is exhausted, and in addition, the general is trapped in the east of the river... Here The matter can no longer be concealed, so the morale of Cao's army must be frustrated. If he cannot win the battle, it may be like the collapse of a river, which cannot be controlled by human power. 』

Xun Chen paused.

Zhang Xiu seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand completely, so he could only say oh oh oh, but he couldn't ask any questions.

Xun Chen didn't look back, but he could feel Fei Qian's eyes passing over him.

Fei Qian's current thoughts are indeed related to Xun Chen.

Xun Chen continued to tell Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's martial arts skills are not bad, but his cultural foundation is relatively poor.

For Zhang Xiu, the important thing is not to go into battle to kill the enemy, but how to understand the political meaning behind the war in the midst of a huge war.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiu's growth will stop here.

Fei Qian could probably guess a little bit of Cao Cao's thoughts.

Cao Cao wanted to lure Fei Qian to attack...

Just like when Cao Cao asked Yuan Shao to take the initiative to attack.

In this kind of weather, the technologies that Fei Qian leads will be greatly leveled to the same level as Cao Cao, so...

But the issue that Fei Qian was more concerned about was not the war at hand.

It can be said that Cao Cao's failure to unite the gentry and gentry in Guanzhong and Hedong to counterattack during the gap period when Fei Qian left Chang'an has already doomed the failure of Cao Cao's march.

At the same time, this also proves from another perspective that the new policy implemented by Fei Qian in Guanzhong and Hedong has actually gained a certain foundation.

Wandering farmers, poor families, frontier gentry, Liang Wufu, and other people who were originally excluded from the Han system found a new space in Feiqian, a completely different development direction from the original Han people.

So the key point now is what did the original Han people think and how would they choose?

For example, Fei Qian now also wants to know how Xun Chen, a big native of Shandong, would choose when faced with a choice again...

Sima Yi has proved it with his actions, so Fei Qian will naturally feel relieved to let Sima Yi lead the army to fight alone again.

But Fei Qian did not dare to let Xun Chen lead the army alone.

It's not that Xun Chen doesn't have the ability to lead an army alone, but Xun Chen is still not good enough for Fei Qian to feel completely at ease.

It's not that Fei Qian was too suspicious, but that the Shandong gentry had indeed given a "good start" to the future feudal dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were also princes and ministers, but at that time, the princes and ministers were more closely tied to the country. Although some ministers can still receive good treatment even after the demise of their country, most of them show grief and sorrow, and even attempt to raise troops for restoration. Of course, this kind of restoration is not a good thing, but it also proves that the feelings of these noble nobles and ministers towards their original country are not just lip service.

But the Han nobles...

This emotion is gone.

When Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor before, he could still cover it up by saying that the meat was rotten in the pot anyway, either this surname was Liu or that surname was Liu, the emperor was still the emperor, and the big man was still a big man. However, when Liu Xie abdicated in the later period, Shandong What are the nobles doing?

They were silent.

They were silent about the far-fetched and sophistry that were obviously unreasonable.

They rejoiced.

In order to welcome the new ruler, they tried every means to find a name from all the old papers.

The Sima family has moved to Hedong, so Sima Yi can be said to be fighting to defend his family, but what about Xun Chen?

In Hedong and Pingyang, is there anything worth protecting and holding on to for Xun Chen?

For an ordinary Han citizen, the country is far away and home is very close.

When a feudal dynasty's country's main taxes and fiscal revenue depend on the exploitation of its ordinary people...

Well, it may be called protection fee, or some other term, but the essence is the same.

In the feudal dynasty, the proportion of taxes paid by the poor far exceeded that of the rich.

There is no doubt about this.

Therefore, in the feudal dynasty, every time the exploitation of ordinary people was intensified, the wealth of the people was plundered, and taxes were continuously raised, it was equivalent to overdrafting the life of the feudal dynasty itself.

In this process, it is very interesting to see what the rich people who have more resources and more information choose.

Gentry.

Which came first, the scholars or the clan?

What about home and country?

For ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, they did not have enough knowledge to understand the relationship between family and country, and they did not know whether the road at the door should be dug and repaired every year, but the nobles knew these things, and they We even know that the official river embankment not only needs to be repaired every year, but also cannot be repaired every year.

Are all nobles despicable and greedy, only looking out for themselves?

No, there are many gentry children who have noble personalities and awe-inspiring righteousness, but such gentry children die easily. As a result, the remaining gentry children will not be able to even name the dead gentry children after a few years. mentioned.

These nobles in Shandong thought they had strategic depth and rich heritage, but in fact they had no depth and no heritage. Everything they do is based on fooling and deceiving the people of Shandong. As long as this layer of fig leaf is lifted, the structure built by the Shandong gentry will collapse.

Zhao Yan was sent to Pingyang two days ago.

This person will also become the object of Fei Qian's observation.

Fei Qian was in Pingyang, but he seemed to be away from here, looking down at this piece of land from this side of the sky.

Now, Hedong here has become a huge car accident scene.

There are people from Hedong and people from Shandong here.

There are people from Xiliang and people from Dongdu here.

It’s about insiders and outsiders.

There are Han people here, and there are also Hu people.

There are poor people and greedy scholars.

Everyone has a car.

Bumper cars.

Howling at each other, telling each other, crying, laughing wildly, and colliding with each other.

Under the cold winter, the spring breeze lurks.

Collision, annihilation, growth.
