Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3225 An accident caused by a famous assassin

Looking east from the Taihang Mountains, the sun shines golden light on the sea of ​​clouds, sparkling like a dreamlike picture.

The sea of ​​clouds is like a piece of golden-white silk, gently fluttering on the edge of the Taihang Mountains, intertwined with the green mountains, forming a beautiful color contrast.

Wei Yan stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the sea of ​​clouds, as if he was in a fairyland.

The sea of ​​clouds spreads under your feet, boundless, making people feel an otherworldly tranquility and peace. Sometimes the wind blows, and the sea of ​​clouds dances with it, as if the elves of nature are jumping happily.

Jizhou at the foot of the mountain is looming under the cover of the sea of ​​clouds, like a distant view in an ink painting.

Wei Yan took a deep breath. Although his face was tired and his body was covered with dirt, it was like a sharp blade about to be sharpened by quenching, with the hidden aura and murderous intent coming out of his body.

Everyone has some gambling nature, more or less, but Wei Yan's gambling nature is obviously stronger.

As the minions of the manor owner, the manor stewards and servants are like jackals, cooperating and gnawing greedily, aiding the evil in this decadent ecology.

The steward was stunned and said, "How many have come?" Where is it from? 』

So Wei Yan looked at everything around him with great interest...

Liu Bei is definitely not the only one who laments that his thighs are fleshy.

In the early years when Yuan Shao was still alive, this place was used to defend against the Black Mountain bandits, and secondly, it was also used as a defense line in Jizhou to guard against Brother Cao in the south. Naturally, some resources were tilted and additional financial subsidies were provided.

On this day, just after noon, the sound of vehicles and pedestrians could be heard outside Chaoge Military Camp.

The steward walked to the village wall and asked, "Who is coming?" What do you want? 』

Chen Han was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard a greeting.

"I said I wanted to borrow some food and grass..." the servant replied.

Wei Yan raised his neck and shouted carelessly: "I came here with General Le... The brothers have no food. I heard that the owner of the village is famous for his kindness, so he came to chat uninvited!" Please also give me a famous thorn, so that I can explain it to you! 』

Wei Yan is a madman!

But madmen are the last people to be messed with. Who knows what the madman is thinking about?

Oh, I'm so unlucky...

How many heroes were so courageous when they had nothing but lost their desire to make progress after becoming rich and became the people they originally hated the most?

Far behind Wei Yan, Cao Jun's surrendered general Chen Han lowered his head with a sad look on his face.

The entire manor has water conservancy, workshops, blacksmith shops, small markets, and even all the daily needs of all farmers, tenants, farm laborers, and slaves. Clan, guests, disciples, tribes, slaves, etc. all have strict status and responsibilities in the manor.

Wubao is the residence of the manor owner and his core members. It also enshrines the spiritual tablets of the manor's ancestors. It is also a place where clan meetings are held and important matters are discussed and announced. It can even be said to be a place where the manor owner's force and majesty are demonstrated. .

Obviously, everything on and off the mule cart was given to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan asked his men to come forward and count the things, and then raised his hands towards the manor, "The name of the owner of the manor must be announced to the top!" 』

Although Chen Han didn't know whether Wei Yan could stir up trouble in Jizhou, Chen Han left it to his own devices and knew that after living a peaceful life in Jizhou for a while, he would inevitably feel a little more slack.

Although these secret notes are very superficial, they are enough for ordinary people.

Wei Yan raised his head and showed a bright smile, "I was ordered to come to work for the army!" The car is full of laborers! 』

This county town at the junction of Hanoi and Jizhou has more or less traces of the war disaster.

"Okay, Erya is good...okay...ahhh..."

Wei Yan took off his hat, revealing a big painted face washed away by sweat, and then twisted his neck, looking left and right, as if he was a little impatient, and seemed to be suppressing his temper.

Wei Yan clasped the bag on his head, then turned around, waved his hand, and led his men back more than two hundred steps.

"Aha?" ! This, grandma! Laojun! It’s so tiring! 』

A servant came over in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face, and reported to the steward who was buying a child outside the door, "It's not good, it's not good... The outside of the village is here, and some soldiers are coming..."

The steward smiled, stroked his beard, and was quite happy. He felt that he had done this smoothly, so he turned around and went inside to report to the owner of the manor...

Several servants in soap clothes stood at the wealthy gate with their chests and bellies raised, glaring at the poor people in front of the gate. They completely forgot that they were just like these poor people in front of the door, and were later sold into the manor...

Wei Yan holds Chen Han's seal and ribbon in his arms. If someone really wants to check, he won't panic.

Wei Yan grabbed Chen Han and said, "Come on, let's talk to a certain Haosheng. Is there any good place under this mountain?" 』

Chen Han trembled. He subconsciously thought that what he was thinking was discovered by Wei Yan. His legs and feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground, "Huh?" ! 』

ideas?

Why do you sound like you're going to visit a brothel?

Chen Han was still hesitating, and suddenly he felt as if an iron hoop had been placed on his arm, which was so tight that his bones hurt, "Ah ah ah, I said, I said..."

The manager cheered, "I knew it earlier!" Let them wait, and I will report to the old man. 』

Chaoge County is neither too big nor too small, but it is Wei Yan's best target at the moment.

"My intestines are almost gone!" This is enough to have a full meal at least! 』

Chen Han's thoughts were in disarray. For a while, he felt that Wei Yan and others were not that many, and most of them couldn't do anything. After a while, he felt that Wei Yan had come here, what else could he not do?

madman!

For the owner of the manor, it is obvious that he adheres to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less. He can just send away some food and grass, so why bother?

Anyway, the grain and grass obtained through exploitation are placed in warehouses, and those that cannot be sold are destroyed. In the end, isn't it just thrown away in vain?

Within the village wall is a comprehensive building complex integrating residence, production, culture and entertainment. There are also some fields within the village wall, but its main output is still the large area of ​​land outside the village wall. Within the walls of the manor, this is the living area for the manor owner and his servants.

In addition, Le Jin was stationed in the Wen County area of ​​​​Hanoi to train soldiers, and Chaoge, which was still some distance away from Wen County, naturally could not receive additional subsidies. There was no financial food to eat, and desolation was inevitable.

The military academy was startled and his eyes widened. He didn't even have time to straighten his head, and ran up the wall of the village. Before he was out of breath, he shouted loudly, "Come on, who is coming?" 』

Well, that's a thing of the past.

Ahem, just give it to the city guards and not to the poor people.

Two hundred people, neither more nor less than one person.

After a few years of Ansheng's life, I felt that Fei Qian was nothing more than that and not invincible. Therefore, when Cao Cao sent troops, there was not much obstruction. It was not like he killed a Qinghe County magistrate as a show of annoyance. Crack...oh, strong.

How big a deal can three melons and two dates form a good relationship?

…

On the wall, there are neat green tiles, and on the tiles, the words Changle Anping seem to tell the owner's good wishes for the manor.

This is a typical Eastern Han manor.

The steward nodded, smiled slightly, and whispered: "He is still a sensible person..."

The figures on the village wall were shaking, and it was obvious that some villagers were secretly observing Wei Yan and others behind the wall.

The military academy still had to pretend to be stable, and coughed, "Uh-huh!" That...which gentleman came to work for the army? 』

"General Le?" ” The steward frowned and thought for a long time, “Could it be a retreat? What are they here for? 』

"Hi! Did you hear that? ! Someone is coming to work! 』

The queue was not too neat, but there was a vague momentum rushing toward them.

Chaoge County is said to belong to Hanoi, but it is very close to Jizhou. To the northeast is Dangyin, and further north of Dangyin is Yecheng, the base camp of Lao Cao's classmates in Jizhou.

Gamblers know the psychology of gamblers best.

The steward put his arm around his fat waist and bared his teeth, saying, "My old husband is a person like heaven. To be able to get close to you untouchables is a blessing like heaven!" Say it again! Those who are sick, those with crooked melons and cracked dates, those with bald heads and diarrhea, don't take them here! Those losers should die somewhere else. Don't stain the eyes of my old man! 』

Wei Yan didn't say much and asked someone to send the famous assassin he had obtained before.

For Jizhou, the main defense point is in the Taihang Mountains. Once Wei Yan breaks through the military stronghold in the Taihang Mountains, Chaoge, who has not received the warning, will certainly not sound the alarm.

Wei Yan turned his head, his teeth seemed to shine under the sun.

Immediately he raised his voice and said, "You all stay away!" Don't block the way! 』

The soldiers beside Wei Yan asked in a low voice.

A tall plaque hangs, highlighting the prominent status of the manor owner.

They were covered in mud, and even the finest armor would not show up after being stained with dirt and dust. Just like people will never see that the robe worn by a beggar is a style that has been on fashion week.

Not many people, only two cars.

So I would rather give...

On top of the camp wall, there were also so lazy that there were only a few people on duty. Occasionally, one or two figures moved around, not like they were patrolling, but more like wandering ghosts.

Wei Yan looked around the manor calmly.

The military academy in the military camp had not yet spoken, but his subordinates were busy shouting. Suddenly, the entire military camp seemed to have come to life again from the dead life, and it was as noisy as if it had been stuffed into a market.

"Commander, are we going to attack?" 』

The high manor wall seems to separate heaven and hell.

After all, the average lifespan of a big man is forty. If he keeps it in his hands for more than thirty-five years, isn't he asking for trouble?

These servants basically signed a life-long contract with their master. Not only their own life, but also their children were sold to the manor owner before they were qualified to stand at the door. Those who signed short-term contracts basically had to do the most arduous labor in the manor, and had no chance of contacting the owner of the manor. Because in the manor owner's understanding, only by selling yourself as a slave can you prove your loyalty, and those short-term contracts of three to five years will be used to death as long as they are not used up, and they will be thrown out as soon as they are thirty-five...

Under such circumstances, the camps outside Chaoge County are basically in a state of three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. The soldiers in the military camps are old, lazy, and useless. Those who are dawdling...

All the doors of the manor have been closed, whether it is the main gate or the corner door.

Every time a disaster occurs, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is a time for the class that owns the means of production and living to make a fortune. The owners of these means of production and living may have different names in different dynasties, but their actions are the same. Similarly, even if you pour milk into the gutter and throw bread into the manure pit, you will not allow the poor people with no food or clothing to eat a small bite in vain.

Whoever gives food to eat is the father.

To be honest, there is really no technical content about famous thorns. It is very simple to imitate them. However, if you want to imitate them, you must first be able to see the real thorns. Because all the famous tattoos of the Han Dynasty are basically made of wood and written on them with official writing. The materials are very ordinary. The only thing that can be used to distinguish the authenticity is the strokes of the words written on it.

The soldiers on the wall of the military camp were also attracted by the sound. They stretched out their heads and stared blankly at the group of people coming slowly from a distance.

The servant replied: "There are one or two hundred... It looks like they came from the other side of the mountain. They are said to be General Le's men..."

The vermilion gate would only be opened to welcome dignitaries, but the common people who sold their sons and daughters were not even qualified to enter through the corner gate. They could only be outside the wall and corner gate, like livestock, being treated by the stewards and servants. Pick and choose.

The gate of the manor then opened, and many villagers came out, driving two mule carts out, and then quickly went back, leaving the mule cart outside the manor.

The Ziwu Valley plan is an eternal conjecture left by Wei Yan in history, and it also proves that Wei Yan was indeed brave where others dared not, especially since he was already the prefect of Hanzhong at that time, with tens of thousands of troops in charge, and despite his high position and authority, he was still willing to Risking one's own life and deleting the number to ask for orders to march into Ziwu Valley, the courage involved is unparalleled.

Wei Yan smiled, "Why attack?" We can still get food and grass without fighting, so why bother? What's more, beating them is equivalent to reminding them... Look, isn't this delivered? Hey, everyone stand around and spread out! We are Cao Jun now, please relax! 』

This is the secret mark on the famous tattoo.

Such manors were distributed in every corner of Jizhou, and then built a local, pyramid-shaped ruling class structure.

The core Wubao plus the peripheral village wall, and beyond the village wall, is a large area of ​​farmland.

"Ah...this..."

Several servants pushed the two ragged men out of the queue, punched and kicked them, and chased them for dozens of steps before leaving behind the man with a bruised nose and a swollen face covered in blood.

Like those stale bread.

The manor is surrounded by tall walls.

For example, Wei Yan got the famous tattoo of the owner of the Wang family manor. The bottom horizontal line of the character "王" was written like a stroke, like a lying knife, which is unique. Another example is the word "Zaibai". The horizontal line on the top is not a short horizontal line, but a long one running across both sides, as if it is about to cut across the entire famous thorn.

When Wei Yan came down from the Taihang Mountains, he encountered almost no obstruction. As long as he was not close to the county town, even if someone saw Wei Yan and others on the road, they would just subconsciously avoid and run away, or even look at them numbly. There was no resistance.

……(`)……

The steward's roaring voice was full of energy.

The people waiting outside the manor to sell their sons and daughters looked at Wei Yan and others with fear or numbness. They just subconsciously avoided but did not run away.

Originally, this military camp was still somewhat large, but after the last Taishi Ci raid, it was completely destroyed. Later, Yuan Shao fought with Cao Cao again, and it has never been repaired. Now, although it has been somewhat tidied up, the camp is still intact. There are few adults, most of the area is desolate, and the effect of broken windows is particularly obvious. Even the trenches outside the camp are almost flat due to silt and sand, and they don't look the same at all.

If there were fewer people, the manor owner would probably not even bother to pay attention. If there were more people, the manor owner would probably be scared and have unnecessary doubts.

Now, it's just right.

This kind of emotion will be contagious to each other. Wei Yan didn't panic, and his subordinates seemed natural.

"roll! What kind of dirty things do you dare to bring here? ! Why don't you call me out? ! 』

Wei Yan's men were all sitting or standing.

Seeing this group of people heading towards the military camp in a daze, the soldiers on duty quickly climbed down the wall and notified the military academy.

Just like for ordinary people in later generations, one hundred thousand may be said to be a large amount, but for some people, it is not even a fraction of a small goal.

People are always forgetful of pain.

"Captain Chen!" 』

The two mule carts, together with the grain on the carts, were obviously expensive, but the expense was relative.

……(灁灁)……

But now that the Black Mountain bandits have long been gone, and Cao Cao has taken control of Jizhou, Chaoge's strategic position has been reduced again and again.

But now, in the land of Zhaojun, there is no longer much heroic atmosphere.

Wei Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain Chen, come closer." 』

These days, a simple wooden plaque can represent everything.

There is a military camp outside Chaoge County.

There is nothing wrong with saying that it is a lonely ghost, because this place has indeed been almost forgotten.

"What a pity!" Finally someone has arrived! 』

There are many heroes in the land of Yan and Zhao.

The last time Jizhou came to Taishi Ci, this time it came to Wei Yan...

Who knows?

The gate tower is majestic, with carved beams and painted pillars.

Chen Han felt like he was stepping on cotton under his feet, and he moved closer to Wei Yan.

No signature is required, no swearing is required.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Wei Yan and others simply had a good time, as if they were at home.

Because most of the people in the Han Dynasty are illiterate, and if ordinary people only know their names, they cannot get real name tattoos, so naturally they cannot write secret messages, and they cannot imitate them if they want to.

Wei Yan didn't need to imitate, because what he got was the real name thorn.

As soon as the military academy in the military camp got it, he glanced at it and knew that it was really the famous thorn of the owner of the Wang family manor. He had no doubts and burst into laughter, with tears almost flowing out of the corners of his mouth, "Mr. Wang, it's really true." Too polite! Too polite! Hahaha, here you come, why don’t you open the camp door quickly and welcome the distinguished guests in! 』
