It is very common for two armies to fight each other and send each other to work in detail, and some capable generals often attach great importance to this aspect of investigation.

The first people in Xiangyang City to be patronized by the anti-intermediary movement were the people who often went out, such as traveling doctors, foot merchants, and traveling magicians.

If you have a certificate that can prove your identity, you still need to offer some filial piety to pass the test.

However, in this world, there has been a long time of war, order has not been fully restored, and most people do not have identity certificates such as talismans and festivals.

Especially the people in the frontline villages and county seats, this year's county order may be killed next year, and no one will go to the government to ask for the talisman.

But at this time, they have become fat sheep in the eyes of Wei Jun......

"I'm really not a meticulous work sent by Guan Yu...... a blind fortune teller nodded and said with a bitter face, "I am here to divinate people, just to get a bite to eat, and I have never exceeded the rules." ”

The officers and soldiers of the county government led by him were not interested in listening to this, and plucked out their ears: "Never exceeded the rules? Hmph, I seem to be like you walking the streets and alleys all day long, and the person who talks to people is the most like a fine work! ”

"Wronged, wronged!" The fortune teller prostrated again and again, but unfortunately it seemed that he was really blind and worshiped in the wrong direction.

The officer and soldier didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "If there are some things that can prove your identity, you will naturally not be embarrassed." ”

The fortune teller can rely on this to eat, and he is naturally a clever person who can understand what the other party means.

It's just that business has not been good recently, and he suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't know the number of etiquette, it's just that I've been strapped lately...... To tell you the truth, we haven't eaten for a day. ”

Hearing this, the officer and soldier raised his eyebrows: "Hmph! You are pretending to be meticulous, if you don't give you some power, you won't confess, take it away! ”

"Bad master, wronged, bad master!"

The wailing blind man was dragged away...... There is no oil and water to squeeze, so he must always be concocted into a "qualified fine work" and recorded in the credit book.

Otherwise, wouldn't the brothers have done day jobs?

……

Similar things continue to happen in Xiangyang City, but the unfortunate ones are these groups who may have a little oil and water to squeeze and have no identity.

And some groups, not only when the walls were clear, but now they also have to choose a good place to entertain people, and they will never come to disturb them when they do things like this.

These people are the eight major families of Jingzhou who were famous at the beginning.

Shanyang Liu, Shanyang Wang, Langya Zhuge Clan, Jingzhou native Cai, Kuai, Huang, Pang and Xi.

It's just that now, the Kuai family, which is most closely bound to Liu Biao, has long lost power, the Zhuge family Ding Buwang, the wealth is not abundant, and the Pang family has gone downhill with the fall of Pang Tong......

Today's eight major clans in Jingzhou can still be called a wealthy family.

But even so, no matter how the two sides fight, these families will still be treated with kindness and respect.

There is no other reason, no matter who lays down the boundary of Jingzhou, it depends on these families to govern, and they are connected to each other by intertwined and complex in-laws.

These clans seldom put their eggs in one basket, striving for the victory of either side and the grace of their own clan.

Even if it is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, his mother-in-law is the Cai family, the eldest sister is married to the Kuai family, and the second sister is married to the Pang family......

Therefore, when he was in charge of Jingzhou, he was able to make such a decree and implement it smoothly.

Similarly, Cai Mao on Cao Wei's side is the Cai family himself, and there are many similar officials, if they take Jingzhou, they can also get the support of the Jingzhou clan.

But until the winner is decided, these families often don't bet on one side or the other.

Of course...... If the siege war continues to develop in a brutal direction, it is difficult to say whether the full favor can still treat these families as well as it does now.

In addition to these large clans, there is another group of people who do not have to worry about being harassed in the rebellion - the poor.

Because no matter what, it is impossible to squeeze oil and water out of these people, and even the officials who are arrested for "taking credit" will not believe it, so no one comes to trouble them.

The strong man who was whipped to carry the gravel was one of them.

"Da Zhuang, you were beaten?! You okay. A black-and-yellow woman with a face covered in dust and mud and as thin as a bamboo pole hurried over from a broken mat.

The broken mat, a long clothes pole, a skin bladder, a clay pot for cooking, and a burlap bag with rags were all they had brought out.

There was also half a bag of food hidden in the pocket of his clothes, but he was afraid that people would not dare to show it.

After being forcibly relocated from the village by the Wei army, a piece of area was set aside for them in Xiangyang City, and the Wei army didn't care.

These people did not have a tile to cover themselves, and ate the food they brought, and only the servants who helped the Wei army to defend the city could get a small amount of rations every day.

Fortunately, it's summer, but if it's winter, I'm afraid that the old and weak women and children will die in one night.

"It's okay, skin trauma." Niu Dazhuang casually handed over a cloth bag from his arms, and the blood scars all over his back looked like they were on someone else's.

The woman took the shriveled cloth bag, which contained two handfuls of corn mixed with soil, boiled into porridge and drank it to the two of them, and they barely starved to death.

Originally, my husband's amount of food, I am afraid that this little thing is not enough to even stuff the teeth.

But she still carefully put away the grain, which her husband had to fight for a day.

She said with tears in her eyes: "I still said that it was okay, I was about to be broken......"

"It's fine." Niu Dazhuang still said calmly, sitting cross-legged on the mat, quietly in a daze.

She was used to her husband's taciturnity, so she sighed lightly and went to cook porridge.

Niu Dazhuang still sat there silently, although he looked silent and wooden, his expression was not as desperate as others.

"Da Zhuang!"

A young man who was several laps thinner than him ran in front of Niu Dazhuang.

In fact, this kind of figure is the norm among the people at the bottom, and the sturdy figure of Niu Da Zhuang is simply incredible.

It is no wonder that the Wei army forcibly moved them here on the first day, and recruited him into the ranks of servants.

Niu Dazhuang, who was called, then moved his eyes to the person who came: "What's the matter?" ”

The young man secretly glanced around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he sat next to him and whispered seemingly casually: "Uncle Li said that there is a way to take us out to join the Han Army at night, will you go?" ”

That Uncle Li is the head of their village, and I heard that his son is on an errand in Xiangyang.

The light in Niu Dazhuang's eyes flashed, and he wondered: "What way?" The envoy has already sealed the four gates, where did he get out? ”

"How do I know!" The young man hurriedly said, "Don't ask so much, Uncle Li asked me to pick another person, you can go with me!" Xiangyang can't hold it. ”

Niu Dazhuang thought for a while and suddenly said, "What should my mother-in-law do?" ”

The young man glanced back at the thin woman who was lighting a fire in the open space and didn't seem to hear it, turned back and said, "Save your life first, and then marry the woman!"

"You are so strong, if you join the Han army, are you afraid that you won't be able to get your mother-in-law?"

He is telling the truth, where there is a shortage of soldiers, as long as you take care of the food, you don't have to worry about no woman to follow.

"You go, I'm not leaving." Niu Dazhuang refused very calmly, and as always, he cherished words like gold.

The thin woman paused unnaturally, and then her shoulders shook slightly silently, but neither of them noticed.

"You're crazy!" The young man was surprised that his voice was a little loud, and he hurriedly looked around, and then said quickly, "There will be no second chance!" Do you want to die? Come with me tonight! ”

Niu Dazhuang just shook his head, but soon smiled again: "If you really go out, can you do me a favor?" ”

The young man almost fell off a cliff in the mountains and was saved by Niu Dazhuang, and he was still a little depressed when he refused to leave at this time.

But he still said in a muffled voice: "Say it." ”

"If you can really vote for the Han army camp, take this with you." Niu Dazhuang took out a wooden five-pointed star painted red from his arms.

Then, with a force, he broke off one of the horns and left it on himself.

He handed the missing red five-pointed star to the young man and said with a smile: "This can guarantee your good luck, so I will go with you." If I really die, I might as well have a thought. ”

"Phew! You say something auspicious. The young man wiped his eyes, "Don't say give me something of value, or sell it for some food." No one wants this, and it's going to be in my hands for the rest of my life. ”

He said no more, got up and hurried back to his place.

Niu Dazhuang looked in the direction of the young man's departure, and for the first time, a smile appeared on Mu Ne's face, and he said silently: "That's not necessarily. ”
