Chapter Seventy-Four: The Suffering of the People
Gongsun Yu strolls in a village, it is said that this is a secluded place near Pengcheng, many times, even the overlord Xiang Yu will wear the clothes of ordinary people to visit here, here, the overlord does not want everyone to know who he is, and here, when the overlord comes, he will also live the same life as ordinary people, incognito, and become a chaifu.
Gongsun Yu understands very well, but after a long time of leaving, Gongsun Yu's eyes are full of harmonious atmosphere, and he feels that there is no worry about food and clothing, the neighborhood is harmonious, and everyone laughs.
When he was young, Gongsun Yu suddenly changed his face and rode away on a colt.
In the hall of the Wei Kingdom, Situ Buqi said: "King, now Zhan Xufeng has successfully occupied Jiangling"
"Okay, great" King Wei patted his thigh excitedly, cramped instantly, and invited the imperial doctor.
"Ouch, hey, tap...... People are old, useless, listen to the good news, their legs are cramping" After King Wei spoke, I saw that the old man with white temples among the ministers was sad in his heart: "My king's beard is not white, his body is like a tiger, and he sleeps with a few concubines at night, and he actually says that he is old, hey"
King Wei is indeed an inappropriate person, after having fun with his concubines every day, he actually shares it with his ministers, and he doesn't have the temperament of a king at all, but it is precisely like this, it may be the so-called trick of King Wei to confuse the kings.
Of course, don't talk so much about the question, let's talk about it first: "What's wrong with what you just said?" ”
At this time, I saw Xiangguo Liao Ying and said euphemistically: "King, it was Situ Buqi who said it just now."
"Oh, it's not what you said, okay, go next to it" King Wei had a relaxed personality, and then walked up to Butch and asked, "Who is that?" ”
"Zhan Xufeng"
"You say, what's wrong?"
Situ Buqi said: "Successfully occupy Gangneung"
"Great......" At the moment of the words, I saw King Wei faint instantly, and everyone rushed up, but found that King Wei did not fall, and stood up and said with perseverance: "This king is fine, what's wrong with you?" There is no one standing at Chaohui Station, so they all go back and stand up."
Then the king of Wei said: "Very good, continue to increase troops to Jiangling"
"How much?" Liao Ying replied.
"100,000 Army"
"King, why do we have so many soldiers?"
"Yes, then get him some food."
"No more"
"Why is there no food?"
Liao Ying said: "Now there is a great famine in the entire Central Plains, and the people are struggling to find food, and now there is a plague in Weinan, and now the people are waiting for us to treat the great plague."
"Plague? Okay, then it must be treated" After King Wei's words, a cold word followed.
"What's wrong with the king?"
"Let Yan Blood come over"
"Yan Blood?"
In the territory of Wei, everyone knows that Yan Blood is an innocent general who loves to mess around, and now let Yan Blood come, what is the King of Wei for?
After a while, Yan Blood came, and at this time, King Wei said with a smile: "Wei Nan now has a plague, do you know?" ”
Yan Xue said: "The last general knows"
"Bring the plague people to Gangneung, and call Zhan Xufeng and the soldiers back to me"
"The king? This is? ”
"A plague, the top of the millions of male divisions, the follow-up project, whether it is Xiang Yu or the South Yue Kingdom, have suffered, at that time, we will send troops to attack the weak, wouldn't it be a fisherman's profit?" After the King of Wei spoke, the ministers objected.
The first to appear was Xiangguo Liao Ying: "No, such an act against the sky, but you will be wrathed by the sky"
"Yes, indeed, I am the king, and you are the king?" Hearing this, Situ Buqi said euphemistically: "King, I don't think so."
"Does your words carry weight?"
The meaning of the king of Wei was very clear, but it seemed that all the ministers were against it, but at this time, the king of Wei was immediately furious and said, "Good! It's decided like this, Yan Blood goes, this king gives you two thousand elites, you go and arrange it"
Yan Xue knelt on the ground and said inwardly: "This is to make Yan Blood a sinner" Yan Xue took the royal order, and then got up.
"General, do you really want to do this?"
"General!" Everyone spoke in unison.
But the King of Wei turned his head, waved his sleeves, and insisted on doing so.
Everyone can only bow their heads, and it is difficult to say anything.
At this time, Gongsun Yu rode to another village, where the people were difficult to make a living, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled one after another, the skinny old man, the malnourished children, a few grains of rice in the rice bucket, and clear water cooking porridge, a village, there were not a few meals of meat, and there were few vegetables left.
"This is the real life of the people, the king only has the village he takes care of carefully, he will never see the suffering of the people, if it goes on like this, is the battle of the Western Chu army really a just battle?" Gongsun Yu had tears in his eyes, a fellow lying on the ground, Gongsun Yu hurriedly got off the horse, helped the old man up, and gave the old man a sip of wine to drink, and then the old man looked at Gongsun Yu.
"Thank you, young man."
Gongsun Yu gave the old man the silver money, and the old man shook his head and said: "The old man has no favor for you, so he is not subject to this gift."
The old man's words were full of wisdom, unlike the ordinary old man, who understood that the old man was the old patriarch of this village, old, and hard-boned, and he helped many families to do things alone, and he was tired.
"Old man, you are like this now, why don't you care about your children?"
The words were three, and the old man wept, and his trembling words came out with a sad emotion: "Death...... up"
It turned out that the old patriarch's child participated in the Western Chu army, and made meritorious contributions in the battle of Julu before, and then when he solved the danger of Pengcheng, he bravely killed the enemy, and sacrificed heroically for the old grandfather of his hometown, the old patriarch's family, three sons, and four grandsons, all died in battle, and the danger of Pengcheng was the last grandson of the patriarch, so it seemed to be destroyed.
"Qin Shi Huang ruled the world and recruited slave laborers, at least, the eldest and second are still alive, and now it has returned to the time when the princes are competing for hegemony, my children ......" The cry instantly drowned out the old man's words, and then, Gongsun Yu said in his heart: "This battle has taken too long, and if it goes on like this, everything is unimaginable"
After a while, a soldier came with a message: "General, General Tian Jun has been defeated, and now the king will let you return as quickly as possible."
"What?" Gongsun Yu immediately rode back, the old man looked at the figure in the distance, and then said, "General? ”
Under the city of Jiangling, Zhan Xufeng celebrated the victory and threatened: "What is the army of Western Chu, how much it comes, and how much it will defeat you"
At this time, Tian Jun, who was captured by Zhan Xufeng, said angrily: "The child is like a thief, and he actually plots against your grandfather."
"Haha, on the battlefield, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, I didn't expect you to have something to do with Tian Du, your strategy is really bad, or ...... Tian Du is actually not very good? Haha...... "Zhan Xufeng's arrogance instantly angered Tian Jun, who was tied up with five flowers, and Tian Jun, who felt very humiliated, jumped off the city tower and fell to his death at the moment when Zhan Xufeng turned around.
Zhan Xufeng looked back and said, "But the way to die is the same as Tian Du, I'd rather die than give in, and I'm still a man."
At this time, Yan Xue came with a few soldiers, and Zhan Xufeng thought that he was rewarding himself.
"There will be a reward so soon, I didn't expect the information of our Wei State to spread very quickly" After the arrogant words, I saw Yan Xue say indifferently: "What is the reward?" ”
"If I win, won't I be rewarded?"
"Oh, isn't it just to defend Gangneung City? Is it necessary to be so excited? Yan Xue's words made Zhan Xufeng very unhappy, and then Zhan Xufeng said, "Then tell me, what are you here for?" ”
"Let's take it and see it," Yan Xue gave the king's secret order to Yu Zhan Xufeng.
What followed was the anger on Zhan Xufeng's face: "This ...... Grass Kan human life"
"In the war years, human life was worthless"
"No, I will never allow this"
"What are you currently doing with the position?"
"Pioneer General of the Southern Expedition"
"Okay, look at Wang Ling, it was clearly said that General Ben is the commander of the expedition to the south, and everything is under the command of Ben Shuai" In an instant, Zhan Xufeng understood that he could not control this great conspiracy.
Then Zhan Xufeng said euphemistically: "General, can you not do this?"
"You're a general?"
"Sort of"
"Yes or no?"
"Yes" Zhan Xufeng looked at Yan Xue's expression and responded quickly, his words were very firm, but at any time, Yan Xue told Zhan Xufeng: "The general will carry out the king's order, not mine"
At this time, I saw Zhan Xufeng bowing his head and not speaking.
Looking at the innocent people, it seems that Jiangling City is going to suffer from an extremely absurd plague, in the south of Wei, people have been healed by doctors, because the doctors pay attention to the fact that all things in heaven and earth are born and overcome each other, and there must be a gram when there is a disease, just like the principle of yin and yang, there is a positive and a negative, so the plague in southern Wei has been cured in southern Wei, and the plague is left in Jiangling, and all the herbs that can be treated are blocked, this King of Wei can be regarded as powerful enough.
In one night, the plague in the city, the streets and alleys, all frightened, the pain of the people, stabbed Zhan Xufeng's heart, because Zhan Xufeng in Jiangling for many days, with the people of Jiangling City have a certain feeling, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and Zhan Xufeng was originally a general who came out of the ordinary people, so he knew the suffering of the people, with tears in his eyes, the general couldn't help but clench his long sword.
"Let's go, out of sight, out of mind" At this time, Yan Xue turned around and rode out, and Zhan Xufeng quickly followed.
The Wei army withdrew, leaving Jiangling City behind, and wept all over the field.
In the camp of the Western Chu army, Xiang Yu was preparing to transfer troops, and many generals lined up in turn, ready to go, at this time, there were scouts who came and told all the information about Jiangling City.
At the end of the sentence, the scout died, and a general stepped forward and found that the scout was tired to death, and another guard came and said, "There is a horse lying on the ground outside the door, and then he dies."
Traveling overnight, bringing the news of the plague, the generals did not dare to go forward when they heard it, and at this time, Gongsun Yu on the side clenched his fists and resented in his heart: "King Wei! Ignoring people's lives and not putting people's lives first, he actually committed such an unrighteous act! ”
In an instant, Gongsun Yu came out of the ranks: "The last general Mao Sui recommended himself"
"Gongsun Yu?" Overlord questioned
"The Last Will Be Willing to Go"
"There's a plague over there"
"The Last Will Not Be Afraid"
"Okay, you are under Tian Dubao, you can't go"
"Grass cares about people's lives, such as the people today, living a hard life, supporting the rise of all vassal states in hardship, now, the king of Wei is so rebellious, the end will must seek justice for the people" After Gongsun Yu spoke, the overlord said calmly: "The king of other countries can't control it, but the people in my Xichu area are worry-free."
At this time, Gongsun Yu slowly turned his head, and then looked at the overlord: "The village supported by the king is the current situation of the people in the world?" ”
