Under the city, Liu Bei prayed there that God would open his eyes and let Liu Ping open the door quickly, maybe Liu Bei's heart was insincere, so it didn't work. Or Liu Ping's prayer heart is more sincere, so his prayer is more effective, anyway, Liu Ping just doesn't open the door in the city.

"Master, they said they were here for the winter show. came to ask for a reward, as the old man said, a good man doesn't eat the loss in front of him, so it's better to give them a few hundred loads of grain and send them away. "Above Liujiawu Fort, someone told Liu Ping.

"Winter performance." Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, he had also read the book, of course he knew what the winter performance was, the winter exercise of the military, chasing the beacon fire, and the system of the ancient sage king.

The so-called major events of the country are only military and rituals, winter exercises, in fact, is the ancient military exercises, because the Han nationality belongs to the farming nation, so the military exercises should naturally be placed in the autumn and winter, so as not to delay agricultural production, and at the same time used to guard against thieves, there is a record of guarding against thieves in the winter in the four people's monthly orders, in fact, it can also be said that it is the legacy of this winter military exercise system.

After Emperor Gao established the Western Han Dynasty, he was subjected to huge military pressure from the northern Xiongnu all the time, in the words of this era, it was "the shame of Emperor Gao Pingcheng, and the humiliation of Emperor Lu Shan in the book." At its peak, it was known as 400,000 cavalry, and the country of the bow and the room of the crown belt, with the Great Wall as the boundary, divided the entire known world equally.

In fact, the Xiongnu were the strongest nomadic people in the classical era, and the Jurchens were much stronger than any later obstruction servants. Whether it is a servant or a Jurchen, they are all tired and weak, and they have never encountered an opponent who can fight.

On the other hand, the Xiongnu were unlucky, and they encountered the Han Dynasty, the peak of the Chinese nation's armed forces. Then with one national war after another, the Qin people, Chu people, Qi people, Zhao people, Wei people, and Yan people were all made into Han people.

In this way, the Huns also persisted for hundreds of years, and when the last five ethnic minorities went south to engage in ethnic integration, they also came forward to brush their faces.

Even Europa, which was beaten away by some of the Huns, penetrated the whole of Europe and was called Ga's whip.

Even in modern times, these descendants of the Huns, known as Magyars, Germanic, are also fierce and don't want to do it, Hungary fought from beginning to end in World War I and World War II, which is much stronger than France and Italy.

In the 21st century, the whole of Europa was in charge, and Europe was green, and only Hungary directly expressed its position, declaring that the religion of sensitive words was a cult and prohibiting the entry of any sensitive words, and for this reason, it also fought a war of words with the Netherlands, and the two sides lowered diplomatic relations from the ambassadorial level to the chargé d'affaires level.

Because in the face of such a strong enemy, the soldiers and civilians of the Western Han Dynasty had a tradition of military exercises, and in each county on the border of the Great Wall, the local county guards must organize a military exercise for the whole people every autumn and winter. The local army and militia worked together to simulate various response plans in the face of foreign enemies.

In such main battlefields as Yunzhong, Shangjun, Yanmen, Youbeiping, etc., the scale of the annual exercise is huge, and the local soldiers and horses, under the leadership of the county guards and captains, often move back and forth within a radius of several hundred miles, carry out various transfers, and simulate. Its momentum is not much worse than that of a real war.

However, this is all a measure that only exists in the border area, but it is also the old yellow calendar, and it can be said that Pingyuan County has not encountered a winter performance for hundreds of years.

Thousands of people marched towards Liu Ping's family, and Liu Ping's family was not blind, so naturally they had already been discovered by Liu Ping's family. Now when I asked, it turned out that the soldiers who participated in the winter drill came to ask for a reward, so they naturally had to tell their master and ask for an idea, whether to break the fortune and avoid disasters or die to the end.

I saw that Liu Ping's face was pale, there was a ghost in his heart, but he didn't know if the assassin had started to assassinate. If not, everything is fine, if the assassin assassinates and does not succeed, then the winter performance is only afraid that the comer will not be good.

Glancing down again, I felt that these soldiers didn't even have a single flag, and it didn't seem like they had come to arrest them.

Therefore, Liu Ping couldn't make up his mind for a while how to deal with it, but he knew one thing that this gate could not be opened no matter what, once it was opened, these rebels rushed in, but it was not a ruin to avoid disasters, but a ruined family. This is the truth that thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like shavings.

The house slave who reported to Liu Ping was also worried at the moment, if it was in normal times, when the number of officers and soldiers was small, these 180 powerful slaves would dare to directly put on armor and the guys and beat them out.

But since he is a slave, he naturally has eyesight, and his ability to recognize inches is almost a child's skill that he has practiced in a small way, otherwise he will not be able to mix in the mansion. At this moment, seeing the momentum of these thousands of people, I can't wait to empty the entire village for flattery, anyway, it's not my family's money and food, it's worth anything.

That Liu Ping was also decisive, and immediately said: "In this case, immediately take 300 stone of grain and grass to work the army, hang it from the stockade, you are armored and armed, and you are guarding here, and the gate of the village cannot be opened no matter what." ”

With the order of Liu Ping, the head of the family, naturally someone went to fetch the grain and threw it on the stockade. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were beside Liu Bei, asked, "Big brother, do you want to attack the city?" ”

Attacking the city, Liu Bei shook his head. It seems that Liu Ping didn't know the true purpose of his coming, and regarded the people in the city as rebels, but he didn't dare to open the door out of caution. After thinking about it, Liu Bei said: "Accept the grain first, and then send someone to invite Liu Ping to the banquet, and say thank you to him for his labor." ”

After thinking about it, Liu Bei asked Cui Mengdao again: "Mr. Cui, do you have any dealings with this Liu Ping's family, can you trick him out of the village." ”

Cui Meng and this Liu Ping both belong to the powerful clan of the plains, and Liu Bei estimates that even if the two don't know each other, they should at least know each other.

When Sun Jian killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, he first pretended to give him beef and wine to induce him to return the next day, and when Zhang Jian entered the army, he was beheaded at the military gate in the name of not supplying military rations and hindering the righteous army.

Sun Jian was able to kill Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, not because Sun Jian was so powerful, but because Sun Jian thought that the world was already in troubled times, so he used the rules of conduct in the troubled times, that is, there were no rules to do things, and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi also kept the rules of the peaceful era to do things, so that they were poisoned by villains for no reason, and they had to die again.

Historical records record that after Sun Jian killed Wang Rong, "compared to Nanyang, tens of thousands of people." "After killing Zhang Shi," the county was shocked, and everything was wanted. ”

However, although Sun Jian used despicable means to kill Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rong and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, his historical evaluation is still relatively high, the reason is that although Sun Jian killed the magistrate and obtained military supplies, after all, he still used it to crusade against Dong Zhuo. The killing of Dong Zhuo was politically correct at that time, and the rest of the crimes committed by Sun Jian were flawed. Not only can the truth of annexation, but also can support the name of King Qin, Sun Jian can really be said to be both a blue pond and a memorial arch! It is really a model worthy of learning from my generation.

It is estimated that Liu Ping dared to send someone to assassinate him, also because he thought that it was a troubled time now, so he could act according to the rules of the troubled times, and assassinating a county Taishou was nothing at all.

However, Liu Bei secretly complained to himself, in my heart, I have long thought that this is a troubled time.

Cui Meng took a few people, beat his horse to the gate of the village, and shouted loudly: "Brother Liu Ping, I am Cui Meng of the Tang Dynasty, thank you Brother Liu for your labor, why don't you come down and meet." ”
