Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3166 Impulse is nothing but multiple devils

As the sky grows dark, rows of Cao Jun soldiers holding torches patrol back and forth in Jing County.

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

Cao Zhen had already posted a notice to calm the people, declaring sovereignty, and then met with several squires from nearby Jing 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 and Shen.

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 to be a good feeling.

So what if someone else comes?

For example, what kind of foreign tribes, will these local gentry resist angrily, or will they still prostrate themselves with their buttocks upwards?

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

On the city gate tower, Cao Zhen frowned.

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.

Cao Zhen said in surprise: "One more achievement?" 』

 After all, saying this is not equivalent to falling out?

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

 What else is there to do?

Now 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 could bankrupt the Shen family...

Shen Yi failed to detect Cao Zhen's hidden unhappiness, and still said slowly and even somewhat triumphantly: "In that case, why doesn't the general make a contribution to the court?" 』

When the rich people have too many children, in order to inherit the property of each other, when the nine insects win, the poor have no these troubles. After all, they are not poor for three generations.

Cao Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Since you have a good plan, why don't you tell me quickly!" 』

Shen Yi showed a smile, and seemed to think that her idea was very clever, "The general is wasting money and food now, mostly because of the Di people... The Di people are numerous, their combat power is low, they eat a lot of money, but they are difficult to use." …』

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

　　The civilian team at the foot of the city listened to it.

Feel sorry.

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

Shen Yi couldn't replace Cao Zhen's promise and tell them what good these squires were. 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.

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

 However, we can’t say it so directly.

He went to the nearest squires, but the squires ignored Shen at all and said they wanted money, food, and 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. He only said that the benefits would be great in the future. Anyone who believed it would be a fool.

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

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

So, Shen Yi ran very hard, desperately, and diligently 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 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?

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

This kind of preference is sometimes rational and sometimes chaotic.

There are some people in Jin 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 quickly fell down and complained, telling a lot of reasons.

Didn’t Mr. Shen break up with Fei Qian a few years ago and intend to return eastward? How come he still lacks money, food and manpower after all this time of preparation? Could it be that Mr. Shen is only a master in words but a moron in reality?

  Shen did have some contact with Di Ren, and had cooperated for a period of time, but Shen actually didn'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.

 The night wind is biting.

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...

 …

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

　Who made Shen always say that he was ready for Shangyong?

 …

 He understood what Cao Zhen meant.

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

 Don’t even think about it.

At this time of the year, don’t forget to use your tone.

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

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 and needed him to say, "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." ...If you want Liang Di people, you have no loyalty, just like a dolphin dog, they only know how to eat and drink...If you don't want Liang Di people, you can save a lot of food and grass expenses...You can also sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching the Di people Fight to the death with the traitors and rebels, and when they both lose, the general can regain Nanzheng...General, in this way, you can not only eliminate the rebels, but also suppress the hidden dangers of the Di people. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds and make new achievements? 』

 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.

 Shen Yi offered advice to Cao Zhen, and there were ears across the wall.

 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 is. Anyway, over the years, in which year have the Han people not been so intrigued? He was numb.

 But when he heard Shen Yi’s plot against the Di people under the city wall, he became angry...

 Because his mother was from Liang Di.

 Now, these **** guys not only brought war, but also insulted the Di people and insulted him...

The leader of the civilian team looked up.

war of the Damned.

if…

Cao Zhen was surrounded 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 suggestions, Shen Yi felt that they should be inseparable.

As he walked down the city wall to his 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.

Feeling that he was in Luoyang City, fighting against those evil eunuchs for three hundred flowers...

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

　　　That's what it's like.

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

Is not it?

The county town of Jin is not big. 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.

 Nearly all the people in Jing County were drafted 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 are indeed big consumers of grain and grass, how can 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 Yaoliang 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 Di’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 peasant was short and did not wear any armor. He only had a small flag tied on his back to indicate his identity.

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

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

 Angry?

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

 Because he often sees this look, an angry yet repressed look.

Who cares whether an ant is angry or not?

 Most likely, military pay and food were withheld?

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

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

 So some civilian husbands have looked for him before.

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

　　Working day and night, and having to have your food and salary misappropriated, this army has accumulated shortcomings, which is really infuriating.

 But so what?

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

What's more, the one who deducted them was the imperial army... er, Cao Jun. Is it possible that Shen Yi could argue with Cao Jun for these mud-legged people?

Isn’t this a joke?

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

  It was just like the cases of withholding money, food and military pay that he had encountered before.

　　　Why do you want to harm Liang Di people? 』

　　　This is really a pity... huh? ah? 』

The farmer came closer, his eyes seemed a little ruthless, "I ask you, why?" 』

　　　　WHAT…WHAT WHY? 』Shen Yi seemed to notice something was wrong.

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

　　　Poof! 』

"ah! 』

 …

 …

"What did you say? ! 』

 Cao Zhen was ready 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.

 It was only after Shen Yi was stabbed twice that his guards reacted. After being stabbed twice, the leader of the civilian team tried to escape, but was chased by Shen Yi's guards shouting, 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 and said, "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 is 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 Jingxian County and surrounding areas agree with...

Even Cao Zhen had a hard time understanding why the civilian leader suddenly assassinated Shen Yi.

why?

This is completely inexplicable!

　　　　Come here! Go to the labor camp..." Cao Zhen said in a deep voice, "Catch everyone around that "hussar spy"! 』

 Cao Zhen wanted to figure this out.

Furthermore, Cao Zhen was also worried that what he and Shen Yi were discussing would really spread to the Liang Di people.

But Cao Zhen really didn't expect that even if Cao Jun and the others held out the great righteousness of the court and expressed that it was the emperor's will, to the people of Xing 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...

 Each of them has their own reasons, and they all think they are right.

 If the procedure is correct, does it mean it is just?

Then ordinary people naturally have their reasons.

Perhaps 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...

Perhaps, just maybe, maybe that civilian husband Zhang Dui led the army, thinking that maybe killing Shen Yi would stop the war.

 …

 …

 In the labor camp of Jing County.

The large and small ground nests are horizontal and erect, messy, and there is no plan.

These nests are all newly dug.

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

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

After all, do we have to give some face to these people who have climbed mountains and waded in rivers and traveled over mountains and ridges...

 The Chinese are very particular about etiquette, aren’t they?

 Lao Zhang did not come back, so someone was worried and went to inquire about it, and came back with shocking news.

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

 Rapid breathing, repressed fear.

　　　『They said Lao Zhang was 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 **** voice down! Don't want to die? 』

　　　…

 ‘What are we going to do now? 』

While a few people were staring at each other, someone suddenly came over in a hurry and said in a panic: "They... they are looking for you..."

A few people were startled and stuck their heads out of the hole to look out.

 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'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 someone who wants to Liang...Lao Zhang is half a person who wants to be Liang...』
