Chapter 4: The Lonely Righteous Warrior

When Ah Fei first came to Gui, he had a very limited understanding of customs and customs, but then again, the original owner of this body, the Yiren boy who was really thirteen years old and had never left the ravine, was afraid that there were fewer people who knew the Tao than the traverser. So he panicked for a moment and shouted out the name of "Master Zhang", and in hindsight, this sentence almost sent him to a dead end.

Let's not mention whether what Lao Wang said next door is true, whether they are really tenants of the county magistrate's brothers, let's just say that this old man Zhang is a dignitary of a county, how could he personally go to the poor ravine to meet his tenants? And even if he knew his tenants, what obligation did he have to testify for them? Just say impatiently, "I don't know." The native soldiers were able to cut off the heads of these two "Dongyi spies" on the spot to set an example.

Fortunately, there is no need for Master Zhang to go out, and a county official helped to testify: "They are indeed tenant farmers in the poor valley in the west of the city, and the villain knows it." ”

It turned out that the place where I lived was called "Poor Ao", which really matched the name, and I couldn't be poorer anymore. Ah Fei reluctantly raised his head and glanced at the yacha under the pressure of the native soldiers, and sure enough, there was still a vague impression in his original memory.

Although their family is a tenant, they do not have to pay rent directly to the imperial court, and the land rent is all handed over to the owner of the real estate - Master Zhang - and as for whether Master Zhang will tax the state, no one knows the way, but their family still has to export the tax, that is, the poll tax. Therefore, the county's yacha has been to the poor col once or twice a year - the mouth is levied once a year, but it is estimated that the place is too poor to squeeze out even half a copper, so even the yacha is too lazy to run in vain.

So I still have a little impression of this yacha, because after his old man ran for nothing, his head was dizzy for a while, and he actually looked at the old dog of the old Wang's family next door. But a stick hit him, but it didn't hit the dog, but Ah Fei gave an order, and the hound pounced on him and grabbed one of his thighs. Fortunately, the dog next door to Lao Wang is too old after all, it is estimated that he is not a few years younger than Lao Wang, and his big teeth are about to fall out, so he didn't really hurt Yacha, just like that, in the end, Lao Wang still handed over the two rabbit skins he had saved to make amends.

Therefore, this yacha actually stood up to testify today without anyone persecuting or urging him, which couldn't help but make A Fei's heart surge with a warm current: "There are still good people in this world after all...... If it was me, I dared to let the dog bite me, and at this time, I had to insist that these two goods were indeed Dongyi's spies! ”

But then I heard the yacha say again: "This old man is indeed a Han person, but the younger one is a Yi person, so for the sake of insurance, let's cut it clean." ”

Damn, this person really can't boast, and the communiqué's personal vendetta is too ruthless! Ah Fei hurriedly shouted: "My family has been farming in the county for seven generations, and I only know that I am a subject of the Han Dynasty, and I don't know what kind of people I am!" Please let the county know what is going on and let the villain go. Although the villain is young, he is willing to help defend the county seat and kill Yikou! ”

"You kid," Shi Gongzi bowed down slightly, looking at Ah Fei's face, "Have you ever studied with anyone?" ”

In that era of extremely underdeveloped information, it was actually very easy to make up nonsense. Ah Fei Zhilu said that his conversation was a bit different from that of a real poor boy in the countryside - would the poor boy care about the issue of the era? Do you know how to utter the words "subjects of the Great Han"? - But he had already discovered that Shi Gongzi was quite curious about himself, if he didn't say so, he wouldn't be able to further arouse Shi Gongzi's curiosity, and then it was likely that his head would fall to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The nonsense had been made up on the way to the county office, and he hurriedly replied: "When the villain was ten years old, he went into the forest to collect firewood, and when he met an old man who was about to freeze to death, he saved his life. That night I dreamed that the old man came to me to read a few books, and when he woke up, he could read and talk. ”

Shi Gongzi showed a sarcastic smile: "So-and-so doesn't believe it." ”

If you don't believe it, you're right! Ah Fei knows that it is difficult to make up things that have no shadow at all, especially when there is an old king next door who watched him grow up, if there is an ordinary bridge where a scholar teaches himself to read and write on a whim, in case there is in the head of the old king (judging from this guy's consistent performance, there must be), and he even opens his mouth to question, then it will be a big trouble. It's better to make up a legendary story that no one can do circumstantial evidence and no one is willing to believe, Shi Gongzi will definitely not believe it, and if he doesn't believe it, he will have to interrogate in depth, but Yikou is approaching, and he will definitely have no time to interrogate, so his head can be saved for the time being.

As expected, Shi Gongzi did not continue to question, but just turned his head and urged the county magistrate to entrust the power of the soldiers and horses in the city to him. The county magistrate had no choice, he didn't dare to escape, and he didn't want to die, so he had to write a few words and answer him.

Shi Gongzi immediately asked the local soldiers to release Ah Fei and the old Wang next door, let them follow him, and walked all the way out of the county office, and soon came to the front of a big house, and when he said hello, more than 20 strong men rushed out of the house - it is estimated that this is what Shi Gongzi said, and their family left Ding Zhuang in the county warehouse. He ordered these Ding Zhuang to arouse the people in the city, block the eastern, western, and southern gates of the county with wood and stones, and after finishing it, they guarded the three gates, and then turned around and ran to the county office.

At this time, according to his instructions just now, the native soldiers in the county had already assembled in front of the ya, and they saw that they were about fifty years old, and thirty percent were not yet Ah Feida, and they were all slumped and deflated, skinny, and their legs trembled. When Shi Gongzi saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head, and asked the county to open the warehouse and put away all the weapons in the county, all of which were only about a dozen spears, two knives, a shield, three bows, and two pots of arrows, and most of them were rusty. The most rearly county magistrate also untied the long sword he wore at his waist and gave it to Shi Gongzi.

Shi Gongzi had no choice but to distribute these tattered weapons first. Ah Fei looked at it from the side, and saw that this son's original expression was full of ambition, as if he had his own command, and he could kill Yikou with a single face, as if he would become famous all over the world, but soon this expression disappeared completely, replaced by only helplessness, frustration, and hesitation, and finally became full of tragedy.

was observing, and suddenly Shi Gongzi turned his head to look at him: "I saw that you were holding a deerskin earlier, where did you go?" Ah Fei smiled bitterly: "I don't know which soldier took it away." "Just kidding, just now I was pressed to the ground by the native soldiers, and then I felt three or four hands groping in the placket of my clothes, although they didn't get a penny, but was it possible that the deerskin in their hands would be spared?

"You hunted the deer? What kind of weapons will they have? Shi Gongzi immediately asked.

"The villain can make a bow and arrow."

"Very good," Shi Gongzi picked up a bow, drew out seven more arrows and handed them to Ah Fei.

Shi Gongzi led the local soldiers and A Fei and others to the north gate of the county seat, and asked Ah Fei's name on the way, and Ah Fei reported his name, saying that he had no surname - as for whether his parents forgot their family's surname, or whether their nation had not developed a surname at all, only God knows.

Ah Fei also tried to find out what Shi Gongzi said, and finally found out that the place where he was located was indeed the Korean Peninsula. This is the easternmost county of the Eastern Han Dynasty - Lelang County, the county is mixed with Han and Yi, there are more than ten counties, the name of the county is Korea, it is estimated that it is the city of Pyongyang in later generations. At this time, Taishou, like the local county magistrate, was also surnamed Zhang, and Shi Gongzi's father had been hired by him to supervise the postal service, and he had just resigned, but he was very prestigious in the entire county.

Soon arrived at the north city gate, Shi Gongzi sent local soldiers to defend the city, and left Ah Fei and the old king next door by his side. Although Ah Fei doesn't know how to fight at all, hasn't he ever seen a pig run or eaten pork? In terms of the shallow knowledge he got from ancient books, it seems that Shi Gongzi is quite proficient in the art of war, and the distribution is well organized.

It wasn't dark yet, and sure enough, Yikou was killed. Listening to what Shi Gongzi said, these Yikou are not Buyeo and Hui, but Goguryeo - as for which ethnic group Ah Fei himself belongs to, he himself probably will never be able to figure it out. Goguryeo is fundamentally different from those other Yi people, one is organized and has political power, and the other is officially canonized as king by the Han Dynasty, and the current king of Goguryeo is named Bogu.

Ah Fei remembered reading in the book that Goguryeo had been constantly invading the counties in the northeast since the Huan Dynasty, until the Gongsun clan dominated Liaodong, and then surrendered temporarily, but then helped Cao Wei to fight Gongsun, and later rebelled against Cao Wei, and was defeated by Biqiu Jian - of course, it should not have been Bogu as the king at that time, whether it was his son or grandson who was on the throne, Ah Fei didn't remember it at all.

The Goguryeo soldiers who came were really not many, the so-called "more than ten thousand" was complete, and there were only a few thousand people when they were unified and brought together, which was dozens of times more than the guards in the city...... And all of them have armor, nearly half of them are cavalry, and the horse lance is generally short, just over three meters, less than the number of zhangba......

Ah Fei saw it from a distance in the city, only felt that his legs were a little weak, and he wanted to lean against the wall to change his posture, who would have thought that first his left foot, then his right foot, actually began to tremble, and it had a chain effect like dominoes, first his feet trembled, then his calves trembled, then his thighs trembled, and then his waist trembled...... When even his teeth began to tremble, Shi Gongzi next to him finally found out.

"Scared?" Shi Gongzi smiled indifferently at him.

Ah Fei couldn't speak, so he had to nod his head—maybe his jaw was shaking.

"You have the blessing of the immortal dream, you will be fine, right?" The mockery in Shi Gongzi's eyes gradually thickened, "Are you sure we can't win this battle?" ”

"The book of war says that if there are five, you will surround it, and if you do ten, you will attack it......" Ah Fei felt that his heart rate must have risen to one hundred and eight per second, and he went straight to two hundred, he wondered if he would be scared to death before letting the Goguryeo people hack to death.

"I even read the Art of War," Shi Gongzi pursed his lips, "but you can still stand after all." ”

Ah Fei glanced left and right, and found that almost all the guards in his sight, including Lao Wang next door, had collapsed on the ground. In fact, he also had the urge to go limp, but his knees were shaking wildly, and he couldn't change the frequency for a while, and he couldn't bend the bend.

Shi Gongzi was calm, he glanced at the city again, and suddenly stomped his foot fiercely: "Okay, open the city, go to war!" ”
