Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ferry of Pujin

If yes three times.

He Jiuqu's arrogance was completely defeated. He didn't get up again, he fell to the ground on all fours, rolled all over the mud, looked at the sky, just sighed, and didn't make a sound.

I saw that it was almost over, and slowly asked, "Is it down?" ”

He doesn't speak.

"Zhan yes?"

He still didn't speak.

"Surrender and don't surrender, fight and don't fight, you can't pretend to be dead here, you are a man, popularize the law, drag him out, and beat him again!"

Pufa smiled: "You evil thief, in the midst of the chaos, you don't help the court, but come to rob the good, and it's not a pity to die." Young master, don't let him stain my hands, pull it out and cut it with a knife, just find a piece of land and bury it. ”

How can this popularization of law follow me, the more I look at it, the less I look like a monk.

I also smiled and said, "I also have to set up a sign and write the words "bandits who harm the people." ”

He Jiuqu finally spoke: "You are the bandits who harm the people. Although I, He Jiuqu, dominate the Yellow River, I have never harmed the people! ”

"You haven't harmed the people, but who are you here to harm tonight?"

"It was forced by your officers and soldiers, I couldn't stay in the river, so I had to find some food and change places."

"It's an understatement. Old mother, is this He Jiuqu a good person or an evil person? ”

The old woman said: "In the world now, there are no good people and evil people, but they kill more people and kill less." In comparison, this man does not have a lot of blood on his hands. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard people outside shouting and neighing, and I don't know how many people and horses came, surrounding Zhuangzi. Someone shouted: "Surrounded! Don't let any of them go! ”

Listening to this voice, it seems that there are no less than a thousand. Pufa's face changed, and he spoke: "Could it be that the thief is back?" ”

I said, "It's supposed to be someone from Linjin, but this road is muddy, can they come so quickly?" ”

As he was talking, Hesse burst in: "Young master, the situation of the person who came is unknown. It didn't sound like a thief, it didn't look like an officer or soldier, but it surrounded us and told us to lay down our weapons. I don't dare to attack at will, so I'll ask the young master to show me. ”

The old woman on the side replied: "Ah, don't do it, it must be my son who brought the Lianzhuang Association to support." ”

But it turned out that the people of Qin had a strong temperament, ashamed of private fights but brave in public battles, and they could all open strong bows and dance swords. Each village has people who protect the village, and they form a joint village association to protect the village and protect the people. When I was introduced, I was overjoyed, and immediately I had the intention of forming an army of these associations.

Hesse accompanied the old woman out, and in a moment a sturdy boy came in with some old men.

That young man was Guo Xian, the owner of the family. He saluted me and said, "Thank you for repelling the thieves and keeping the village at peace." If you don't know your son's surname, we will be rewarded. ”

I smiled: "My surname is Liu." It's a lot of effort, but I'm recuperating at your house, and I'm tired of you. ”

To be polite, I asked about the situation of the Lianzhuang Association, and I couldn't help but be disappointed, it turned out that the stronger people in these years have either become bandits or soldiers, and there is not much labor left in the village, and most of the members of the Lianzhuang Association are old people and children, and even women.

It seems that if you want to restore the old view of the cool land, it will not be possible in a hundred years. In fact, it is not only Yongliang, China is everywhere, wolf smoke is everywhere, and the people are not left behind, which is really amazing.

Somehow, a sentence came to mind, if the first half of the Three Kingdoms is more capable of killing than anyone, then the second half should be better than who can live people, if you don't care about the people's livelihood and are lighter than killing, you will have the talent of Kong Ming, and you will not be able to return to heaven.

After a moment of silence, they thought I was tired and took their leave. I thought about it again and again in bed, and said to Pufa: "Lock He Jiuqu up and take him to Linjin tomorrow." Enough people have been killed, and what we should do is not to kill, but to figure out how to keep them alive. ”

There was a look of compassion and compassion on the face of the popular law, and it seemed to have returned to the time when Jincheng first saw him: "Good and good, His Royal Highness's words really have the meaning of great mercy and compassion." ”

At dawn the next day, the soldiers and horses of Linjin came to meet me. I was also half cured, lying in the car, traveling with the troops. Guo Xian knew that I was a noble man from Chang'an and wanted to join the army with me, so I thought about it and said, "You stay and take care of your mother and sister." Everyone has to live, and being a soldier is not your only way out. ”

From the car, I looked back at this peaceful village, remembering my father's childhood, whether he also lived in a small village peacefully, every day the sun rises and sets, and the shadow of the giant mulberry slowly moves with the sun. The world is calm, there is no war, there is no killing, I am only worried about whether today's straw mat can be sold smoothly.

What made him pick up the sword? What is it that throws the world into war?

10,000 people, 10,000 lives. Maybe I will never be able to be an ordinary person in this life, enjoying the hot kang, ginger soup and gentle care like last night every day, but how can I forget the heartbeat of that moment.

The unknown woman of the Guo family is gone in my life, and perhaps decades later, she married an ordinary farmer, with a large group of children, and fed chickling chicks in the sun, with a happy smile on her face. She would never have thought that the current Son of Heaven had been moved by her that night, and had stayed on her for a long time in order to have a simple and pure happiness.

After taking me to Linjin, Wu Ban and others immediately sent troops to search for the river bandits, and I said to them: "Try to take them alive." ”

I think that if this continues, my weak name will only be loud again, but the human head is not a leek, and it can still grow after being cut off, even if it falls into such a weak name, my "living" plan cannot be unimplemented.

Fortunately, after a long time, my name was not weak, but "Nioh".

Pujin ferry, the river wind is mighty, I stand on the edge of the Yellow River, look east, the fog is misty, the turbid waves are monstrous, the shadow of the river is more than enough to see the ancient crossing, the shadow of the tree, there is already the boundary of the state, there is the army of the Wei State, and the Huns. Not far to the north, is Xie Liang, the hometown of the second uncle......

Hesse said: "Young master, the wind is strong by the river, you can add a piece of clothing......"

I took the cloak with a smile and said to Feng Xi beside me: "I've been getting water in the Yangtze River for a long time, are you still used to getting used to it here?" Do you have the confidence to stop Cao's army in the Yellow River? ”

Feng Xi replied: "Compared with the Yangtze River, this Yellow River is like a small ditch, He Jiuqu, who has been making waves in the Yellow River for decades, is not my opponent, let alone those people on the other side of the river who can't even deal with He Jiuqu." Don't worry, with me, the enemy can't cross the river. ”

I looked at Feng Xi and smiled: "General, don't be careless." Although the enemy army is not good at water warfare, but as you said, the Yellow River is not better than the Yangtze River, the water is much less, and it is much narrower, dozens of boats in a company, it becomes a pontoon bridge, and in winter, the river freezes, there is no need for a bridge at all, and your enemy does not have to fight a water war with you. I handed it over to you He Jiuqu, I checked it, he was originally from a slightly public background, and because it was difficult to cross the day, he embarked on this road, and there is no big evil, and he can use it. He has been in the Yellow River for many years, and he knows everything about where there are ferries, where there are whirlpools, when and how to sail. Don't be arbitrary, listen to the opinions of your subordinates, it will be beneficial. ”

Feng Xi smiled and responded, "Yes!" ”

I said to Wang Ping of Wu Ban: "The general is brave and decisive in killing, which is a strength, but I still have one more sentence to tell you, that is, a benevolent character." You are on the right Feng Yi, but don't just set your eyes here. In the past, we should see Bingzhou and Sizhou, and then we should think of Chang'an, the south should echo with Weinan, and the north should take into account Shangjun, Shuofang and other places. In the troubled times, there are many thieves and aliens in Shangjun, Shuofang, and Yunzhong, all of whom can be the source of our army's soldiers and people. Then the hearts of the people will be attached, and the hearts of the people will be good. Sanfu terrain, such as an eagle, the right wing is Hanzhong, the left wing is the state, and the state is not taken, our army is difficult to be safe, Feng Yi is always under the enemy's eyes, and it must not be taken lightly.

"However, there is no news of the enemy's dispatch at the moment, so we must seize the time to develop civil affairs and resume production. Father Emperor Xiang to spring ploughing as the first priority, this matter is done well, can be promoted according to military merits. The Shu family stipulates grain planting, how much to plant per mu of ground, how much to fertilize, all have customization, and the agricultural law written by the experience of 300 old farmers in the central government will also be officially promulgated. ”

The three of them listened, and they all responded again and again. Wu Bandao: "That day in Shu, I always feel that the prime minister's code is too fine and too harsh, unbearable, get used to it to know, these codes, each has its function, take sowing as an example, Shu family stipulates that 'rice, hemp mu with two buckets of half a bucket, wheat mu a bucket', is really the most advanced planting methods to teach the people, according to this planting, grain really increased. However, Shu is different from Yongzhou, suitable for Yizhou, not necessarily able to pass in Yongzhou, I always feel that the mountains are different from the flatland, the north is different from the south, the rain is different from the rain, the brown soil is different from the laterite, if it is completely in accordance with a model, it seems that it is not appropriate. ”

"Yes, General Wu's words are very true, I will tell the prime minister, and then refine it. Don't wait for me to ask for such suggestions in the future. Although the prime minister is a genius, as said in "Buju": 'The ruler is short, and the inch is long; There are deficiencies in things, there are things that are not clear, there are things that are not grasped, and there are things that God is not able to understand. 'Even divination and gods cannot know everything, let alone mortals of my generation?' Since ancient times, there has been no pure white fox, but there is a pure white fur, if you have an opinion, just mention it, don't dare to tell him, tell me the same. The land of Guanzhong, since ancient times, is the place of Longxing, the humanities are prosperous, and the talents are doubled, we must always be cautious, learn more and think more, don't be a frog at the bottom of the well, make people laugh. Ji Han is like a new ship on the Yellow River, his father is the owner, the prime minister is the helmsman, and my generation is a sailor. ”

The three of them nodded in unison. I continued: "The same is true of the three generals, who guard Feng Yi together, must think together and work together, not only to perform their duties and responsibilities, but also to work together and coordinate. The father handed Zuo Fengyi into the hands of the three generals, and he handed over his left chest to the three generals, and the wind and rain were all borne by the three generals. The responsibility is too great to be taken lightly. Ji Han is newborn, the military is weak, the financial resources are weak, and the people's power is weak, so he can enjoy it in peace after a big victory. My father once told me not to take evil as small, and not to do good as small. The accumulation of soil, the collapse of the embankment, the prosperity and decay of Ji Han are only tied to every thought and every action of us. Congratulations. ”

When I left Feng Yi, I deliberately went to the cemetery of Sima Qian. Its tomb is located in Hancheng, east of the Yellow River, west of Liangshan, Zhishui lingers and flows, the situation is magnificent. The first historian of ancient and modern times quietly returned here. I feel great respect for this great man who is unswerving, rich and noble, mighty and unyielding, and records the events of a thousand years with a pen. When Mr. Shuijing told me about the historical records, I could feel that Sima Qian was particularly fond of tragic heroes, and those mavericks who dared to criticize and fight against the society of the time, the powerful, and the serious harsh environment, and he did the same throughout his life. He not only left a historical record of his fame, but also left a noble personality. And I wrote that sentence to Li Ling's descendants, "Li Ling is not a shame for your Li family, but a shame for my Han family." It's not that Li Ling is sorry for the Han, but that the Han is sorry for Li Ling" was deeply influenced by him.

When I was hanging, I found that someone seemed to have come to this cemetery, and when I asked the tomb keeper, the man said that it was a Hun who came. I know that it must be Hu Yanmi, and I don't know what kind of respect he has for this person who dared to overturn the case of his ancestors in front of the emperor, and was corrupted and did not give in.

At that time, it was late March, and spring ploughing began everywhere in the north. I read from the newspaper that my father had appointed his first imperial doctor, and this person was actually Li Yan, and I couldn't help but find it interesting. This person was originally very effective in history, and became a lonely minister like Kong Ming, but since then, he has been working against Kong Ming for power, and later because of his duties, he made up panic and was deposed by Kong Ming as a concubine. Originally, I thought that there was no defeat in Soochow at this time, and the good generals were all famous, and he couldn't say anything about this position, but I didn't expect that my father really promoted him. However, his position was replaced by Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi has always been in charge of his father's White Ear Army with his fourth uncle. Later, he served as Li Yan's deputy to guard Jiangzhou. After knowing this news, I wondered maliciously, would my father be a bright rise and a secret descendant to Li Yan? However, I am still relieved that Chen is guarding Jiangzhou, his personality is very similar to the fourth uncle, if it is only defense, it will be difficult for Dongwu to go against the Three Gorges. At the same time, Meng Da was also promoted to Dahongbin and ranked among the nine kings. And Kou Feng (i.e., Liu Feng) was appointed as the Shangyong Taishou. This strengthened my father's belief that he was dealing with local forces. In addition, there is another happy event, at the beginning of March, Yang Fu, the king of Wudu, led the people to surrender.

In the Wei State, Cao Pi built a palace in Luoyang, divided the vassals, and in March added Sun Gong, the Taishou Gonggong of Liaodong, who had been unstable, as the general of the chariot and cavalry. Wei has not been stable in recent years, the battle of Jingzhou, the loss of soldiers and horses is still above our army, and the territory is full of rebellions, in response to the second uncle Guan Yu. Although the second uncle was defeated, it took him a long time to quell these rebellions. And Xu Huang was defeated by Shangyong, so that he did not dare to easily raise troops against Shangyong. However, last year, when he was the king of Wei, he personally led the army to the south several times to pacify the rebellion, and until this year, the troubles of his internal brothers, the rebellion in the south, and the hidden worries of Wuhuan and Gongsun in the north have basically been dealt with, and I am afraid that the next move is to deal with us.

Sun Quan of Eastern Wu moved the capital again, moved from Gong'an to Hubei, and renamed Hubei Wuchang. It seems that our army took Yongliang Erzhou, which made him feel uneasy in his heart, so he moved the capital east to avoid the edge of our army. And his troops achieved good results in the battle with Yamagoe. Zhuge Qiao's elder brother Zhuge Ke alone received tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Shanyue.

No one was idle. In this world, wind and thunder are brewing in a calm.
