Chapter 1168: Big Family

What do the poor have?

What else can anyone who has nothing, who is not even their own life?

Therefore, these people's requirements are very low, and they only need to be able to eat a meal, which can be regarded as contented and can boast for several days.

The higher you go, the more wealth you have, but the more difficult it is to be satisfied.

If you want more, if you want to preserve more, it will be more and more difficult to satisfy, just like Xiahoudun in Puyang City.

Xiahoudun's face sank like water.

Now two cities can only defend one!

Or Puyang, or Juancheng.

Cao Cao took most of the soldiers away, leaving only about a thousand soldiers for Xiahoudun, and the same was true for Juancheng.

On weekdays, these troops would be enough, but now, it is like a drop in the bucket, and in Yanzhou, where there are rebellions everywhere, it is useless.

Xun Yu sent a message, saying that Juancheng was in danger, and asked Xiahou to quickly transfer troops to support, but if the Puyang soldiers were transferred, then it would almost mean that Puyang would be handed over......

"Come on, go and invite Tian's ......"

The Tian family is a big family in Puyang, and the local hao right is deeply rooted in Puyang.

Tian came after a while, bowed his eyebrows and bowed his hands, and greeted Xiahoudun.

"Sit!" Xiahoudun pointed to the table on the side and said.

"Thank you, General......"

Xiahoudun watched Tian sit down, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Things have changed today, and I want to lead troops to help...... If there are thieves, I don't know what Tian Weng wants? ”

"Huh?" Tian's eyes widened, and he said with a serious and serious expression, "General...... This one...... A certain set to restrain the villagers, settle the village, and wait for the general to triumph......"

The corners of Xiahoudun's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Tian Weng, you don't have to be like this...... If the thieves come, they can be welcomed......"

"How dare the villain...... How dare you ......" Tian's face twitched, waved his hand again and again, and halfway through speaking, he saw that Xiahoudun's face didn't look like he was joking, so he changed his words and said, "Could it be the general's intention......"

Xiahoudun nodded and said, "Tian Weng is loyal and sensitive, so he should know something...... The military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay, this is the Puyang seal, Tian Weng put it away......"

After that, he took the wooden plate containing the Puyang seal ribbon on the table and let the guards put it in front of Tian.

"Oh, General, how do you make ...... How dare the villain, how to make ......" Tian waved his hand again and again, but he couldn't help but stare at the seal.

"Hahaha......" Xiahoudun stood up and strode out of the hall, and said loudly, "Someone, give orders!" Assemble and go! Tian Weng, there will be a period later! ”

"Huh? General, general! Tian hurriedly stood up, subconsciously followed Xiahoudun for a step or two, but stopped, and when he turned around and walked out of the hall with the wooden plate, he only saw that Xiahoudun's back had gone away.

"This seal ...... This ......" Tian Shi held the wooden plate in a daze, and at some point, his eyes had fallen from Xiahoudun's figure to the Puyang seal, looking at the copper seal of this turtle button, looking at the colorful ribbon on the black background, and his face couldn't help but show a look of intoxication, "This ...... It's beautiful......"

………………………………

"Warm Wait!" A scout came on horseback, skillfully controlling the horse when he was approaching, just before Lu Bu slowed the horse to the minimum, "I found the enemy's movement ahead, it seems to be heading east!" There are many footprints, and the number should be more than 1,000 people! ”

"To the east?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "How long have you been gone?" ”

The scout, while controlling the horse and letting it turn around, replied, "At least a day, the footprints have been a little blurry, and if it weren't for the brother's care, most of them would have been missing......"

"Good! Remember you and wait for a credit! Lu Bu nodded and said, "Explore again!" ”

"To the east?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said, "To the east is Juancheng...... In this way, go to Juancheng to protect Cao Cao's thief's family? ”

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said, "That's the case." ”

"It's ......okay to go," Lu Bu laughed and patted his horse forward, "Cao Bing goes east, Puyang must be empty, and take Puyang, and then make a decision......"

Chen Gong frowned, thought for a while, and felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he stroked his beard and followed the large army forward......

………………………………

"This is the Puyang Seal?"

Lu Bu sat on the horse, and as soon as the halberd was swinged, a personal soldier stepped forward to take the wooden plate and sent it to the front.

"Exactly, exactly......" Tian said with his hands arched and bent over.

Lu Bu stretched out his hand and grabbed the copper seal and ribbon in his hand, looked at it, put it in his arms, and said, "Well, you have a meritorious service...... Well, so-and-so ordered that the soldiers enter the city and not disturb the place......"

"Xie Wenhou is compassionate! I also prepared a little cow wine below, not a tribute, and I hope Wen Hou smiled and accepted it......" Tian hurriedly thanked him, lowered his head, and said respectfully.

"Good!"

Lu Bu laughed, then looked up at the quaint little seal "Puyang" on the city, raised the halberd in high spirits, and shouted: "Enter the city!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead, followed the suspension bridge, and rushed into the Puyang City Gate.

Tian arched his hand, stepped aside, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at his already empty hand......

Chen Gong followed behind, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly patted his horse to catch up with Lu Bu, and said, "Wen Hou! Puyang is down, when the troops are sent to Juancheng! ”

"Hmm......" Lu Buyi frowned, but still turned his head and asked, "Why?" ”

"We have never had anything to do with Guo Yuzhou, and this covenant has never been bloody, so although Guo Yuzhou is said to have led the troops, it is inevitable that he will be ......suspicious," Chen Gong said, his thoughts became clearer little by little, "...... If you see Puyang Cao soldiers to Juancheng, I am afraid that we will suspect that we have not gone to Puyang...... His army is deep, and he does not see our allies, so it is inevitable that he will have other intentions...... In addition, Juancheng City has a high ditch and a deep ditch, and the Cao thief's family lives in it, and they must stick to it! If this is the case, Guo Yuzhou will retreat and return! ”

Lu Bu frowned suddenly, pulled the reins, and stopped, the red rabbit horse couldn't run smoothly, and he was very dissatisfied with his hooves and snorting.

"Why don't you say it sooner!"

Chen Gong said: "A certain is also a party that remembers ......"

Lu Bu glanced back and said, "Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, we will leave for Juancheng!" ”

"The day after tomorrow?!"

Chen Gong was about to say something, but was stopped by Lu Bu.

"It's getting late today, tomorrow the whole army will be repaired, and the day after tomorrow will set off!" After Lu Bu finished speaking, he shook the reins, and the red rabbit horse suddenly spread its four hooves and moved forward like the wind......

"Wait, wait!"

Chen Gong stretched out his arms and wanted to say something when he urged the horse forward, but where could the Red Rabbit Horse's footsteps catch up, he could only watch Lu Bu go away.

"Alas......"

Chen Gong lowered his arm, and then frowned again, as if there was something else, what was it?

I couldn't remember it for a while......

………………………………

From Nanzheng City, looking north, I saw one camp after another, like fierce beasts, squatting on the ground, ready to jump up and devour living beings at any time!

"It's a day!"

Zhang Lu habitually called the honorific name and took a breath of cool air.

The climate is gradually warm, the cool breeze in early summer, the stars are shining overhead, the bright moon is bright, if it is usual, it should be the most comfortable period of time, watching the growth of green grass in the acre, how should it not be a season of fighting......

But this damn general of Zhengxi led the troops like this!

In Zhang Lu's eyes, this series of camps, digging into a ditch, standing wood as a fence, fluttering flags, swords and killing, each camp is equipped with a lookout, towering, between the camp and the camp is separated by 200 steps, a hard bow can reach. Only the pine resin torches on the watchtower of the camp were flickering, illuminating the surrounding scene.

The army has always asked for silence when staying overnight, because the thing of camp roaring has always been the most taboo thing in the era of cold weapons. Therefore, although there are many camps, at night, only the sound of the time is sounded from time to time, and the night guards march around the camp in an orderly manner with torches......

"Why are there so many people?! Why are there so many people?! Why do you drive all the way here? In Zhang Lu's head, many inexplicable questions were swirling, and his brain hurt.

If it is calculated according to one camp and one army, that is, one song or two songs, it will be counted according to one song, so that there are at least five or six thousand people in more than ten camps!

No matter what is in the world, once it becomes a scale, there is always a shocking power, and now these camps, from the bottom of Nanzheng City, are like boundless, and have been stretched to the end of the line of sight.

"It's a day of honor!"

Zhang Lu looked up at the sky and whispered, "Tianzun, is it true that we are in the way of the alliance, and the qi has been exhausted......

………………………………

The sky gradually rose, reflecting brightly on the mountain, the sun was still grinding at the top of the mountain one moment only a small head was exposed, and the next moment it jumped out unceremoniously, trembling, and sprinkling the light all over the earth.

The soldiers who were guarding the periphery of the camp at night returned to the camp in whole groups, and the soldiers in their own camp also greeted each other with these soldiers who had been busy all night.

The non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level do not need special explanations, they are already neatly dressed, standing on their respective turf, and shouting loudly with full of energy, changing shifts on duty, and assigning tasks.

In this era, there were only two meals, so it was not possible to avoid this meal like many immortal cultivators who did not eat breakfast in later generations. It can be said that it is an important energy supplement to support the activities of the whole day, so there are already soldiers busy early. Drawing water, lighting a fire, and rising with the curling smoke of the cooking, the entire army camp suddenly fell back to the world from the cold and slaughtering war equipment, and became a little more popular.

And in the Chinese military camp in Feiqian, it is even more lively.

As the soldiers who came to report and return to their lives gradually left one by one, Fei Qian, who had finished handling the matter, finally walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and said to a group of soldiers who had been waiting in the open space on the side for a long time: "The military affairs are busy, and you have been tired for a long time, and it is rude and rude......."

"The general is happy! Military affairs are important, and we are fortunate to be summoned by the general, so how can we complain? ”

"In the past, I heard that the general was famous, but when I see it today, I am even better than three points!"

"The sea is swinging all over the world, and Kyushu is singing! The general is so groomed, I really envy us! ”

For a while, sycophancy and flattery flew together, sycophants and flattery.

Fei Qian smiled and didn't answer, just raised his hand to invite these people into the account.

In fact, these people who come may not all be characters who only know how to greet each other, and they may not have any long-term admiration for Fei Qian as they said in their words, but most of these people are also seeing Fei Qian for the first time, and at the same time, they don't know what Fei Qian's thoughts are about this piece of land in Hanzhong, so at first sight, it doesn't hurt to say a few more flattering words, after all, they don't reach out and don't hit the smiling person, isn't it?

Everyone sat in the tent of the Chinese army, Fei Qian did not speak first, and the rest of the people did not dare to open their mouths rashly, everyone was speculating in their hearts, and then their eyes basically turned to Zhang Ze.

Zhang's surname is Nanzheng, and his ancestors have more or less produced a few Taishou, and some have waited for the court, and he is appointed as Jiuqing, so he is also one of the best people in Nanzheng, and Zhang Ze is firmly in the first place in the guest seat, but as if he didn't see everyone's eyes, he just stared at his beard carefully, as if there was a flower on his beard......

After another moment, Fei Qian coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, the army is shabby, and there is no hospitality, I really neglect you...... After the traitor Zhang Gongqi is pacified, I will have a good time with you! ”

Fei Qian opened his mouth, and the atmosphere naturally became lively, and suddenly everyone was flattering again, and they didn't want money to throw it out.

After everyone stopped talking, Zhang Ze, who was sitting in the first place, suddenly asked softly: "I don't know what the general said about the traitor...... But what does the Son of Heaven mean? ”

Everyone immediately quieted down, and their eyes wandered back and forth on Fei Qian and Zhang Ze.

This is an important question.

"Zhang thieves blocked the post road, burned the plank road, slaughtered the envoys of the imperial court, did not dispatch from the Son of Heaven, supported the army and respected himself, proclaimed himself a heavenly master, and changed Hanning without authorization, how is this behavior different from the Yellow Turban thieves back then?" Fei Qian slapped the table and said in a deep voice, "When the Son of Heaven was hunting in the north, he once said that the way of heaven is constant, and it cannot be disobeyed, but if there is evil deeds, thunder will fall!" Zhang Thief acted perversely, ignoring the discipline of the imperial court, this is not a thief, what is a thief? ”

In fact, Zhang Lu said that he didn't do anything bad, and compared to the previous fish and meat guards, it was not bad, although it was said that the so-called "sacrificial wine" was used to manage local government affairs, but it also taught the people that they needed to be honest and not cheat, and let those who were at fault repent and surrender themselves; For those who commit crimes, they are also given leniency three times, and if they commit another crime, they will be punished only later; If it is a minor transgression, then build a hundred steps of the road to atone for the sins; At the same time, according to the "Lunar Decree", slaughter and alcoholism were forbidden in spring and summer when all things were growing; He founded the righteous house, put the righteous rice and meat inside, and provided free food for passers-by, and declared that if he obtained too much, he would offend the ghosts and gods and become ill......

In general, if Zhang Lu's administration can be implemented, it is actually not bad, and in terms of recuperation and recuperation, it has always been the strength of Huanglao Taoism, so in the restoration and protection of people's livelihood, the merits of Wudou Midao cannot be erased.

It's just that Zhang Lu moved the cheese of the big families in Hanzhong!

It's all Zhang Lu's "sacrificial wine" to serve as civil affairs officials, so where do these big Hanzhong families go? Either resign and go home, or change your body, regardless of the damage to your reputation, and follow the gods to talk about what "Zhengyi Zun"?

Therefore, when Fei Qian set up his carriages and horses and came under the banner of the imperial court to quell the rebellion in Hanzhong, one of these big families in Hanzhong was counted as one, and they were all respectful all the way, sending cattle, wine, grain and grass along the way, and even sent private soldiers and laborers in Wubao Village to share the work of transportation and labor.

At present, most of the Feiqian camps are actually laborers and men served by various families along the way, and the real soldiers are only the ones that are close to the city of Nanzheng.

Seeing that Fei Qian confirmed the matter again, the voice fell, and the tent suddenly had a lot of emotions, and everyone said that Zhang Lu was extremely evil, heinous, with sores on his head and pus under his feet......

In the words of everyone condemning Zhang Lu, Zhang turned his head to look at Fei Qian and smiled slightly.

Fei Qian also looked at Zhang Ze with a smile......

"Ladies and gentlemen! Since the general of Zhengxi was ordered by the Son of Heaven to pacify the thief, we naturally pursued the same! Zhang Ze nodded at Fei Qian, then turned his head and said loudly, "...... We can inform the brave men in the city, tomorrow, open the east gate of South Zheng, and welcome the general of the west into the city to quell the rebellion! ”
