180. Intercession
>,!
Deng Ji is not afraid of the plague, he just doesn't believe that the Hun wizards really have such great magical powers.
He feared demons and gods, but he did not fear the living.
Of course, I had to take precautions, and after thinking about it, Deng Ji still spoke: "When he waits for the expedition, he is strictly ordered to be cautious with water; After tomorrow, Luoyang will pay for the grain and ask the women in the city to sew some food. hood, or can protect against the plague"
"Masks? What's that? ”
Hearing a new thing, Tian Feng asked curiously, and Deng Ji had to explain.
There are no cotton products in China at this time, but the production of masks is not complicated, it is easy to find substitutes, and it is not difficult to imitate them.
According to the epidemic prevention knowledge of later generations, the focus is also on doing a good job of personal hygiene and disinfection. The role of the mask is not omnipotent, but Deng Ji knows that every time there is a contagious disease on TV, people wear masks, and they don't really take the Hun witch to heart.
Tian Feng was a little puzzled, I don't know if the mask can really prevent the plague, but after mentioning the horror of the Hun sorcerer, he himself is a little embarrassed, the war between the two Han Dynasty and the Huns is not just one time, if it is really so powerful, how can Wei Qinghuo get famous for future generations?
Affected by the attitude of his disciples, after understanding it, Tian Feng waved away the shadow in his heart, and only then did he really begin to consider the feasibility of sending the remnants of the Kou army to the Hetao.
There is no hatred in the battle array, there is no reason in the world that you are only allowed to attack and kill others and not allow others to ambush and plot against you, life and death should have no big grudges, although this is the case, people are like this, there are as many people who can't let go, such as Ling Tongzhi to Gan Ning, Pang Dezi killed all the descendants of Guan Yu and other Deng Ji is also one, but he wants to send troops to Hetao in addition to venting his anger, but also in order to divert the attention of the people in the county, the impact of the Jizhou fiasco on Henan County is minimal, it is a trick that he came up with when he was forced to the Jedi, Tian Feng focused on actual interests.
As Deng Ji said, the Xiongnu tribes in the Hetao area were the weakest when Yu Fuluo recruited the strong and strong several times to help the Hetao area, and it is estimated that even 10,000 strong people are difficult to make together, and hundreds of tribes are scattered in four or five counties.
Henan County's policy of Anmin is unique, and it has been spread by word of mouth for the rest of the year, and there are displaced people who keep coming, absorbing the surrounding population like a sponge, and it is also a large number over time, and now the land in the west of Bishui Pass has gradually become saturated, if the troops are enough to defend, Tian Fengchou and others will even have to consider expanding to the ten counties in the east.
With the growth of the population, all kinds of demand is also increasing, the new households are in urgent need of livestock, if the army is sent to the Hetao, the Xiongnu tribe does not say anything else, there must be a lot of cattle, horses and sheep, and it is good to be able to plunder some to enrich the territory.
Emperor Wu can start a war against a country thousands of miles away for the sake of sweat and blood, and the scholars of this era still have no trace of the pretentious and disdainful temperament of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian Feng can see the essence of the war, and he will not have any resistance to the foreign tribes who are the enemy, but he will only send 2,500 horsemen to bring back how many livestock and materials can he bring?
Some things are inseparable from human manpower, and it has nothing to do with whether they are elite or not.
Not having ordinary people go out to fight is what Deng Jili personally promised when he was a fourth-class people's policy, but a policy to benefit the people, based on the foundation, and it cannot be destroyed for the sake of a plunder, and the autumn harvest is imminent, and it is not appropriate to pay for grain and hire manpower.
The Dangkou army went alone, Tian Feng could almost predict that he and the others were resentful and rushed to the Hetao, causing considerable damage, but the carrying capacity was limited, and the materials they brought back were not too much.
After thinking about it, there was no other way, Tian Feng had no choice but to regret it, no longer think about the matter, and changed the topic and asked: "Is it to let Xu Gongming serve as the captain of Dangkou and lead the troops to the battle?" ”
"He's only temporary!" Deng Ji shook his head and explained: "Don't be busy with the military post first, I am about to discuss with Tian Shi, there are many unsatisfactory points in the two armies at present, and some changes should be made, and the change of military rank will be talked about when he returns to the army."
However, when it comes to personnel, changes are bound to be difficult, and the new military system cannot come out in a day or two, so the master and apprentice can only slowly conceive and perfect.
However, Tian Feng had some expectations for whether his disciple could come up with any better ideas.
The Dangkou army was still recuperating, and the results of Taishou's disposal of Che Huang soon spread in Henan County.
In this era, the monarch's preference can determine honor and favor, and a word can determine life and death.
When the news came out that the fate of Che Huang was handed over to the families of the victims, the whole county was in an uproar.
The life and death of a general is left to the people to decide?
Some people are puzzled and hard to believe, some people are inexplicable, some people scold, and some people regret it.
Such a big gimmick naturally attracted the attention of countless people in Henan County, and the news spread abroad, and the monarch who heard about it was also surprised.
Three days of time is fleeting, stay on this day, early in the morning, there are idlers outside the east school field of Luoyang City began to wander around, waiting, after the morning food, there are more gathered, soon, the black pressure on a large number of people surrounded the east school field.
In addition to the local people, there are also people from other counties coming, Luoyang City only opens a gate on the southeast and west sides on weekdays, the number of people entering the city today is really large, Wu Ning let open six more gates, nine city gates, all lined up waiting for the soldiers to check their identities and enter the long queue.
For people who don't care about themselves, this thing is new and strange enough, so lively, you can't ignore it!
So many people all flocked to the outside of the east school field, since it was impossible to let them all in, outside the school field has long been guarded by the Dangkou soldiers, the victim's family members of 100 people will be above the generals Dangkou soldiers can enter according to their identity plates, and the rest are all blocked outside.
In the end, there were 60,000 or 70,000 people gathered outside to watch the excitement, but there were not many families of the victims who entered the school after the identity was verified, and if you counted carefully, it was less than 1,000 by noon!
The more than 5,000 soldiers who were damaged, most of them were Xiliang soldiers and horses, and their family members were all old and weak women and children who had just exchanged for Yanzhou.
Outside of the Xiliang people, half of the veterans who have been familiar with Che Huang for several years, and many of them do not want to go out to find trouble because their relatives have died in this troubled world.
Ordinary people can go to the East Campus to see the excitement, and those who have pain and do not want to be embarrassed choose to avoid it far away, and there are not many families of the victims outside the East Campus.
After that, the soldiers of the Dangkou army were outside the gate of the East School Field, and only allowed people to enter after verifying their identities, but this small and not troublesome procedure blocked many people who were originally at a loss and couldn't make up their minds.
Even if there are those who are unrelenting, they will want to have so many people, and they can always make Che Huang pay for his life, and there are many of me! This is the so-called herd mentality, after all, ordinary people are blind most of the time.
As a result, the families of the victims who actually entered the venue were very sparse, with less than 1,000 people. Of course, as long as one of them does not give up, he can also take Che Huang's life.
This is a major event in Henan County, Deng Ji, Tian Feng and others have come to the scene, Xu Huang, Xie Yun, Cao Xing and other generals of the Dangkou Army are not bad, and some generals of the Huya Army have asked for leave to come, and they are lazy to care about Guo Shi.
At noon, on the grounds of the defeat of the disobedient army, the criminal law of the military stick was applied first, and the chariot was the first to be punished. Although he was known for his thick skin and thick flesh and not being afraid of military sticks, everyone knew that in the past, when he really did it, the sergeant who tortured him always had to show some mercy to make the chariot millet get the name of fearlessness. Today, however, it was different from the past, there were nearly 1,000 families of the victims watching from the stage, tens of thousands of people peeping outside, Che Xiao's life and death were to be determined, favoritism was to harm him, the two soldiers waved the sticks with all their strength, only to receive forty or fifty sticks, he was already full of flowers, his skin was cracked.
Listen to that "pop...... The sound of the blow did not stop, and the people who were looking for cracks outside the school field to watch the excitement "buzzed" and talked non-stop, but there was no sound in the field.
Che Huang refused to lose face, biting the wooden stick in his mouth, and did not make a sound, but in addition to bloodstains, sweat also soaked the back of his clothes.
When the hundred sticks were finished, and Li Dangzhi personally smeared the golden medicine for him, this guy would only have to gasp for breath.
After Che Huang was tortured, it was Han Hao and Zhou Yi, who were not the main generals, but they did not listen to Deng Ji's orders, and finally suffered a big defeat and were each punished with 50 sticks.
All three were punished, and then the highlight of the day was the sergeant's chariot carrying the car through the families of the victims and out of the school grounds. According to Deng Ji's instructions, as long as Che Huang can leave the school gate safely, the matter will be over.
There are not a few generals who have a good relationship with Che Huang, but at this time they are only silently watching, no one comes forward, the soldiers carry Che Huang off the general's platform, and many people in the crowd below are holding sharp weapons, and they are ready to move, Xie Yun is young, and he wants to come out to intercede, and when he opened his mouth to scream, a sharp shout suddenly came from his ears: "And slow"
This voice was rapid and loud, Xie Yun was very familiar with it, and when he heard it, he was overjoyed, and turned his head to look, sure enough, it was Deng Ji, and he had stood at the forefront of the platform.
Didn't you order the families of the victims to live or die? Is it possible to regret it?
For a while, everyone was surprised!
After a shout, all the eyes of the audience were attracted, Deng Ji took a deep breath and said loudly: "As the lord of an army, Che Huang disobeyed orders and walked alone, and finally suffered misfortune for the 5,000 soldiers of the Dangkou Army, and it is not a pity to die for the crime."
"However, he has followed me for three years since Zhongping, and has fought countless battles in large and small formations, and he will never give up from the battle, and he will be dressed in dozens of wounds! I can have today's situation in Henan, and Che Huang has made great contributions! ”
"Ji is reckless, when he was young and weak, he was lucky to lead the army, and he only tried his best to support him, but this person did not give up to help each other, life and death followed, and he was fortunate to be grateful for the five! Now that he has been, Ji does not dare to show favoritism, and asks for a decision on you, with Ji's original intention, I still ask you to take care of the hardships and spare him from dying."
In the end, Deng Ji couldn't help but be emotional, squeezed out a few heroic tears in his eyes, and knelt down.
