Chapter 262
The fierce fighting outside the city made the city of Xiapi also rumored, especially the news that Cao Jun had slaughtered the city not long ago, which put everyone in the city in danger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoMany people have already started to prepare, and the pedestrians on the streets have become much sparser, and if it weren't for the occasional patrolling soldiers, just looking at the dimly lit houses on both sides of the street, some people would even think that this is a ghost town...
"Lord, do you say that if Cao Cao captures Xiapi City, will he really choose to slaughter the city?" Located in a position that happened to be one horse behind Yan Shao, Guan Hai asked with some curiosity.
As he spoke, he looked at the surrounding scene, even now he still couldn't believe that after breaking through this city, Cao Cao would really choose to slaughter the city.
Hearing Guan Hai's words, Yan Shao smiled. "Of course not, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou this time is to avenge his father, but it is impossible to say that he has no intention of Xuzhou at all. However, for a state and county, the abundance of products is of course extremely important, but more important is the population, if there are no people who live in it, what is the use of Cao Cao getting this Xuzhou? β
This is indeed the reason, the reason why several countries were a little immobile at the end of the Three Kingdoms was because of the sharp decrease in the population between each other due to the perennial wars, and even the later Wuhu Rebellion was also caused by the previous fighting too much, which made the population of the Central Plains too sparse.
Cao Cao slaughtered the city before, one was to avenge his father, and the other was to weaken the determination of Xuzhou, so that they could understand what the price of swearing to death was, so that the next cities in Xuzhou would not continue to hold onββββββ if it was true that every city was sworn to die, it would not be enough for Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to be doubled.
As for slaughtering all the people of Xuzhou, he had never had this idea, not only did he not have it, but even the civil and military forces under his account had never had such an idea. If all the people are killed, what is the use of getting Xuzhou? You can't let them move some people from Yanzhou, right? That's a bit too much trouble.
What's more, if you really want to do this, but it is to risk the condemnation of the world, this kind of behavior is even more tyrannical than Dong Zhuo, you can imagine how the other princes will react when they learn this news, I am afraid that an alliance against Cao Cao will appear in an instant, and Cao Cao's account will also fall apart because of his move.
How could Cao Cao do such an unintelligent move?
"Oh," Guan Hai made a clear voice. But why should they be afraid? As he spoke, he pointed to the houses on both sides, each of which was lit, but there was no sound of people inside, but when they passed by, from time to time a miserable face would poke out of it, looking at them secretly...
To be reasonable, even Guan Hai is a bold person, and he also thinks that this scene is a little crazy...
"Is this..."Looking at the face of a person who was secretly hiding back, Yan Shao was also a little uncomfortable, after all, such a scene was a little too similar to some horror novels he had read in the past. Probably because of fear, of course we know very well that Cao Cao will not do too much, but they are different. Coupled with the fact that I've gotten some specious news, it's normal to be careful..."
At this time, Zhao Yun had been following behind Yan Shao, and just as Yan Shao was talking to Guan Hai, a little child poked his head out of the room, and his two round eyes happened to meet Zhao Yun. But it only lasted for a moment, and the child shrank back in panic, as if Zhao Yun was terrifying.
Looking at the house, Zhao Yun looked unbearable. Since following Yan Shao, he has experienced a lot of things, but it is the first time that he has been like this, and he can't help but look at Yan Shao. "My lord, how can we rescue the inhabitants here?"
Although Yan Shao's resourcefulness is not as good as Dong Zhao or Cheng Yu, there are occasional thought-provoking words, and Zhao Yun and others still respect Yan Shao's resourcefulness. Hearing Zhao Yun's words, except for Li Ru and Sun Guan who stayed in the camp and did not follow, the other civil and military who came to Xuzhou looked at it together, wanting to hear what Yan Shao had to say.
"Help..."Yan Shao smiled bitterly. How can I save it? Zilong, tell me, whose palm should I save from the palm of my hand? β
"This?" Zhao Yun was a little puzzled. "Naturally, it's from Cao Cao's hands..."
Now Cao Cao is attacking the city very urgently, and it is Cao Cao's tyrannical behavior that has caused the residents of Xiapi to be frightened.
However, hearing his words, Yan Shao shook his head. "You're wrong, it's not Cao Cao who really threatens them, or Cao Cao is just a part of it, the real threat to them is actually those countless princes and local tyrants, including us..."
"The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor is out of control, and since the Yellow Turban Uprising, local heroes have risen one after another, forming a semi-divided situation. Originally, after solving the Yellow Turban, as long as the Son of Heaven could work hard, it would be impossible to eliminate this hidden danger, but at this time, the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants broke out and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. Dong Zhuo's behavior of abolishing the Son of Heaven has caused the only remaining prestige of the Han family to be lost, and the princes of the Sour Jujube Alliance have stopped moving forward, on the one hand, because in the face of the Xiongguan Trench, it is difficult for the coalition army to go further, on the other hand, why not hope that this situation will continueββββββ rather than being someone else's courtier, I don't know when he will be deposed, wouldn't it be happier to be a soil emperor? β
So the trend of secession was completely formed, and the princes attacked each other, such as Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, and even today, Cao Cao and Tao Qian, the so-called revenge of killing his father is just an excuse, that is, without this excuse, Cao Cao will do this in the future, otherwise why do you think Cao Cao wants to take his old father out of Xuzhou, it is just because he is afraid that he will turn his face with Tao Qian in the future, and Tao Qian will detain his old father. Even if Cao Cao is a rare hero today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do something to share his old father's pie..."
"Therefore, as long as the princes are not destroyed, this troubled era will not end, and tragedies like Xiapi will continue to happen..."
In other words, the princes, including Yan Shao, are actually the root cause of this troubled world...
Yan Shao's words made everyone couldn't help but fall silent, it didn't mean that no one could see this layer before, but no one could say it as thoroughly as Yan Shao, and no one dared to say it as bluntly as Yan Shao.
As for Li Ru, who had been silent, he looked at Yan Shao with surprised eyes, as if he didn't expect Yan Shao to see so thoroughly on this issue.
"So..."Looking at the generals with heavy faces, Yan Shao suddenly smiled. Are you willing to join me and sweep away the princes of the world for a peaceful world? β
The others glanced at each other, and then Zhao Yun was the first to rush out, turned over and dismounted and hugged his fists. "I am willing to die for the Lord!" But he was deeply moved by Yan Shao's words, since it was the princes who disturbed the world and made the people miserable, then he would use the heroic gentian in his hand to calm down and return the world to peace!
"I am willing to die for the Lord!"
The other generals also followed with their fists, their eyes firm...
"I am willing to die for the Lord!" "I am willing to die for the Lord!" The armor guards on the periphery shouted in unison, and the sound echoed through the streets, causing a scream from the houses on both sides...
However, listening to this voice, this time everyone was not gloomy, but looked at each other and smiled, and let out a loud laugh...
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
I don't know how long it took, but the group came to the door of a mansion. At this time, there were already many warriors standing in front of the mansion, and when they saw Yan Shao and others coming, some people immediately turned around and ran into the mansion, and some people greeted them.
At the same time, looking up at the big word 'Mi' on the top of his head, Guan Hai couldn't help but exclaim. "This Mi family is really rich enough to live in such a big house."
Although it is only a door face at present, but a glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen, a gate is already so majestic, how big should the whole house be?
As the richest man in Xuzhou, the Mi family is rich enough, and the mansion in Xiapi City covers a large area, even the state pastoral mansion can't compare, no wonder if there is any difficult age, Tao Qian also needs to go to the Mi family to ask for help.
On the one hand, the two Mi brothers were annoyed, and on the other hand, they were deeply proudββββββ even the state pastor had to come to their house to borrow money and grain, didn't this just show the strength of the Mi family?
However, this time...
Not long after Yan Shao and the others got off the horse, they saw the two Mi brothers walking out of the gate quickly and bowing in front of Yan Shao.
"I learned that Yan Qingzhou came but couldn't come out to greet him, please forgive me..."
In the final analysis, even if the Mi family is rich, it is just a strong man, and even if there are tens of thousands of servants in the family, it is impossible to really defeat tens of thousands of male troops. Not to mention tens of thousands, even if thousands can win, I'm afraid it's hard to say.
What's more, the situation in Xuzhou is critical now, everything needs to rely on Yan Shao, and at this time, Mi Zhu does not dare to show his arrogant sideββββββ if he has...
"How dare you..."Yan Shao smiled, but he was not angry at all, but stepped forward to help Mi Zhu. Originally, it was said that he was going to come a few days ago, who would have thought that Cao Cao was attacking the city very urgently these days, so that a certain and Zizhong couldn't get out, and only now can I visit one or two here, and I should be the one who should say forgiveness...
It turned out that Yan Shao and Mi Zhu had already made an agreement to visit Mi Zhu's mansion. But then the war situation was urgent, and both Yan Shao and Mi Zhu couldn't take care of this matter, and they delayed for several days before they had time to visit Mi's family.
Yan Shao said politely, but Mi Zhu didn't dare to listen to it like this, and hurriedly lowered his posture and invited Yan Shao and the others in. As for Mi Fang next to him, he is responsible for greeting Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others, who are also military generals, and Zhao Yun and Gan Ning obviously have more common topics, and several people can talk about it during this time.
"It's really magnificent..."Walking into Mi Mansion and looking at the surrounding scenes, Yan Shao couldn't help but exclaim.
Usually, Yan Shao feels that his family is already very good, but when he compares it with the Mi family, he finds out what the difference is. It's not that the Mi family is more comfortable than Yan Shao's mansion, as a person who has crossed over from the afterlife, Yan Shao still has great requirements for comfort. Even if he didn't deliberately promote anything, he still brought some living habits from later generations.
The simplest of these is the chair, but there are a number of other habits of the past.
Yan Shao never thought about changing this era, nor did he think about introducing some technologies from later generations. It's really cool to get a musket team out, but is it still the Three Kingdoms?
So from the time of crossing to the present, Yan Shao has been deliberately restrained in the changes around him, some things that should not appear in this era, he never intended to let them appear, and the improvements he made were only some in life...
However, the Mi family is different, as a family that is not very bad for money, everything in the mansion can be said to be the best. It is no wonder that Yan Shao would use words like magnificence to describe the Mi family.
"Where, where..."Mi Zhu, who was leading the way, smiled modestly when he heard this. This is all created by the predecessors, and it is really ashamed that our juniors still need to rely on the shadow of the predecessors. To make the king young and promising, with only a few hundred soldiers and horses to lay down the current situation, glorious lintel, this is really worth learning from us..."
This is Mi Zhu's true words, and the world's praise for Yan Shaoduo is also related to this.
The Yan family in Beihai is like a small family that is not worth mentioning, and by the time Yan Shao's generation is down, there is not much left to rely on.
However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, Yan Shao had the courage to disperse half of his family property to recruit soldiers and fight the battlefield, which finally made the Yan family rise again, which made many people look at it differently.
After all, Yan Shao's difficulty is no different from starting from scratch, and it is not comparable to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other people who have family support behind them...
In the eyes of the world, Yan Shao has almost become a model of a young hero...
What Mi Zhu said was what Yan Shao was most proud of, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, but he still said a few words of humility in his mouth.
However, after a while, Yan Shao, Mi Zhu and others had already walked into the interior of Mi Mansion, and at this moment, he saw a maid walking by in the distance...
Because of the relationship between Yan Shao and the others, the maid hurriedly stepped aside, and even lowered her head, just like a real maid, if it weren't for the graceful figure under the costume, I'm afraid Yan Shao wouldn't have taken a second look...
"Please!" Seeing that he was about to arrive at the place, Mi Zhu made an invitation to Yan Shao again.
"Please!"
Just when Yan Shao was about to retract his gaze and follow Mi Zhu in, a casual glance made him make a surprised sound.
"Huh?"
This maid, he seems to have seen it somewhere...
