Chapter 255: Slaughtering a Hundred and Making an Example
"This is the plug sun...... Now it's called Fang Cheng. ”
Deng Xiaoman didn't have a good tone, and his surname was Deng, but the relationship between a Nanyang Jianyang Deng family and a Nanjun Deng family was a bit far away.
He pointed to Fangcheng, which was also being rebuilt and reinforced, and the pavilion that was expanding around the original small city of Duyang to store grain.
Deng Ai was lying on the back of a donkey behind him, how could he see that the newly built city was not square, and asked, "Why?" Called, Fang Cheng? ”
Deng Xiaoman looked at Deng Ai with disgusted eyes, this is a very thick-skinned person, the children of the Deng family in Nanyang can't ride a horse or a donkey, and they stammer, and they like to ask this and that, the more they look at it, the more they look like spies.
"Take the meaning of communication in all directions, hence the name Fangcheng."
Deng Xiaoman looked at Deng Ai with a vigilant gaze, Deng Ai closed his mouth tightly when he saw this, Deng Xiaoman snorted lightly, kicked the horse lightly, led the reins of the donkey, and led Deng Ai to the fence passage.
Just like the Wankou Great Wall built by Zhang Liao, Ma Chao is blocking the water...... A fence was also built on the north bank of Fangshui, with fences, antlers, and trenches.
There is a suspension bridge at the passage, and there is no obstruction at the moment.
The officer on duty checked Deng Xiaoman's waist card, routinely asked a few things that had happened recently in the army, and looked at Deng Ai who was standing in front of the donkey: "But it belongs to Li Xu, the guard of the second battalion in the east of the enemy?" ”
"No, this person is the son of the Deng clan of Jianyang who was captured by the Wei army back then, and he belongs to the Yingchuan Dian Agricultural Department, and he doesn't know the inside story of the Wei army."
Deng Xiaoman said with a smile: "According to him, he is the younger brother of Shangshu Deng Bo and Miao, and he also knew Xiahou. He was also right about the allusions and genealogy in the clan, and asked him if he was related to Xiahou, but he refused to answer. After all, it was related to Xiahou, and the tun chief did not dare to delay, so he sent me to send him back to Fangcheng and handed him over to the shogunate for screening. ”
"How do you know Xiahou?"
The military officials on duty looked at Deng Ai extraordinarily, and said with a smile to Deng Xiaoman: "There are also some military officials who have come to surrender and say that they have an old relationship with Xiahou, and they just happened to hand over to Beifu together. For this matter, Zhou Bai, the middle man of the Beifu Army, has already reviewed the reception and surrender of the various armies at the general Yuanmen. ”
Deng Xiaoman looked back after hearing this, and saw that Deng Ai had no sign of weakness, so he frowned and thought, "Maybe." ”
took the passage bamboo issued by the military officer on duty, and the two of them led a horse and a donkey across the Fangshui pontoon bridge.
In front of Deng Ai is a hot military tun weather, the paddy field originally opened up by Tian Xin is now being used again, and winter wheat is being planted.
Seeing this familiar scene, Deng Ai couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of the tragic fate of chickens flying and dogs jumping in Yingchuan and the separation of Tuntian's guest wives.
I couldn't help but secretly clench my fists, the sooner the Central Plains campaign ended, the sooner the suffering people would be freed from their suffering.
As a bachelor of agriculture, he can't eat enough and can't wear warm clothes, so you can imagine the life experience of Tuntianke.
Approaching the area of Guan Yu's camp, Deng Ai watched from a distance as Song Gong and the general stood tall on both sides, and the Song soldiers in green robes and black armor had already appeared in his sight.
These Song soldiers were covered in crimson coarse cloth and embroidered with boxy white muslin on the back, printed with the word 'Song' in bright red.
Similar to some of the knights of the Zhao Army under Ma Chao that he met before, the Han Army's system and clothing are also being innovated, and all aspects are being influenced by the Beifu soldiers.
Tian Xin's every move, in hindsight, always has a lot of deep meaning...... Regardless of whether you can figure it out or not, just follow suit.
Outside the general's gate, Deng Ai couldn't help but be stunned when he approached, and a military official who was leaning on the fence and basking in the sun was also stunned.
Deng Ai saw that the Wei army officials who were still wearing Tuhuang Rong clothes around him walked around at will, whispering to each other without too much control, so he took a few steps forward and asked, "Liu ...... Engaged in, well? ”
"It's good, why is Shizai here?"
Pei Qian brought Liu Mao, a township party member who was doing things around him, from Hedong to ask, Deng Ai smiled: "Ai, cross the water at night and come back." ”
"Shi Zai is bold, and at one point he carelessly made a meat ticket."
Liu Mao replied angrily, and looked at a few military officials who were gathering to rest: "Yu Wen once led two thousand officials to return to the north, and most of these two thousand officials were placed in Yingchuan, Hushu, and Liyang. ”
The rest of the words were not said again, just a wistful sigh.
"Liu engaged, Hedong, people also, Department ...... Songgong Township...... Township Party, also ...... And Pei, Pei, Pei......"
Deng Ai wanted to comfort Liu Mao, but he stammered and even gave up on himself, Pei Jun was under Guan Yu, and it was only natural to pull Liu Mao to help.
Over there, Deng Xiaoman made a brief report, took the receipt issued by Zhou Bai, and led the horse and donkey straight away.
Knowing that Deng Ai was a stammer, fortunately he was also a military official, Zhou Bai motioned to Deng Ai to write his origin and resume in the north.
Zhou Bai's left hand was broken at the elbow, and his right hand was drinking with reddish-brown tea soup, and he saw that there was a paragraph on Deng Ai's resume that read: 'Bachelor of Agriculture, Keeper of the Field'.
So he said: "As Deng Jun saw, our army is in Fangcheng Juntun. Almost all of the military officials here were officials who went north with Yu Wen in the past, but were demoted to Tuntianke. It is true that these officials know my lord. And Deng Jun is probably not as good as the old man in my family. If you stay here, it will work. ”
Deng Ai shook his head without hesitation, and looked directly at Zhou Bai: "I...... Knowing Xiahou, I have something to say. ”
He controlled his curiosity and didn't look at Zhou Bai's left arm behind his back.
Zhou Bai just smiled: "Since Deng Jun insists, he will not persuade him." It's just that Deng Jun came from the north, and he had to bathe, comb his hair, and change into new clothes before he could go to the rear to avoid the spread of the epidemic. ”
"Yes."
Deng Ai Shili also went to the side to rest, and it can be seen that there are constantly military officials who have fled from the north who have been sent here for shelter and disposal, and most of them are those who have returned with the ban on the north.
These people were the most miserable, and they assisted the Han army in the battle of Maicheng, and as a result, his wife and child were compiled as Tuntianke, and after returning to the Central Plains, he was also deposed as Tuntianke.
Since they are Tuntian Ke and still a criminal army, there is no need to toss back and forth to reunite them with their families.
These officials were dismissed and placed in the three departments of Yingchuan, Hushu, and Liyang, and the officials of these three Tuntian departments, as well as the nearby Haoqiang, were certainly not happy with the transfer of these two thousand sturdy laborers.
And their wives and children were also placed in the Tuntian Department near their hometown, and the other party refused to let them go.
Therefore, these officials who returned to the north are still in a state of separation from their wives, and their wives and daughters are likely to have been forcibly remarried.
There is nothing to hesitate, these people agreed to escape, and Deng Ai just caught up with this trend.
Some escape, others fail to escape...... Zhang Liao has no extra choice to deal with this kind of thing that affects the morale of the army very much, to be precise, he has no choice.
Military law reporting, review, and enforcement are the duties of the overseer Sima Yi, and without Sima Yi, there will also be people such as the guards and the army to rectify and enforce military discipline.
Deng Ai naturally didn't know that at noon today, Sima Yi personally ran to Wankou to enforce military discipline, and the more than 100 people who failed to escape and were arrested, as well as their accomplices, nearly 300 people before and after were beheaded on the banks of the Lishui River, and their heads were hung on bamboo poles by the river as a warning.
Almost all of these beheaded officials came from Pei Qian's auxiliaries, and when Pei Qian got the news and rushed to the riverbank, he could still see that the blood of Lishui had not retreated.
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, Pei Qian complained: "How cool is Zhongda? ”
Sima Yi's face was solemn and explained: "If this is not the case, the army will follow suit tomorrow, and this will be an example, and it will have to be killed." Not only that, but I also have to go to Luoyang to impeach Yu Wenze. ”
"Then when will Zhongda leave?"
"Immediately."
Sima Yi was tall and sturdy, and wore an iron basin collar armor with the same color and style: "I am only here to wait for the writing, so that I can apologize and explain in person, so as not to misunderstand the writing." ”
In terms of appearance, posture, and temperament, Sima Yi is more like a brave and resolute general.
Interpretation? Clear up misunderstandings?
Pei Qian glanced sideways at the heads of the auxiliary army officers who were hanging, like strings of lanterns, only to feel that his heart was congested, and his palms were cold.
