Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2357

Near the mouth of the Red River Valley, Lei Mang, one of the seven brothers of the Lei family in Xialu City, had no expression on his face after hearing the report from the sentry.

This time Yang Wanwan made a surprise attack on Xialu, and after he succeeded, he immediately went up with a scratch. It was better for Wang Gui, but for Lei Mang, who had a relatively small number of people, some noses were not eyes.

Even for the follow-up attack, Yang Wanwan didn't intend to let Lei Mang follow him. He even heard that he uttered wild words in private.

As for the big heads in Xialu, of course most of them were taken away by Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui, and the rest were some second-rate goods, and Lei Mang had to work hard to transport them all the way back...

This made Lei Mang feel a little bit uneasy, how could he represent the seven Lei brothers in the war, even if he is not a great king, Xiao Wang always has to count?
The original system of Di people is not very good, now...

It's even worse.

The previous Diren king died violently in his middle age, and he did not have time to explain or cultivate the next generation of Diren king, which led to disputes among the three families. Although the three families are temporarily united together, it does not mean that the three families We can let go of the barriers in an instant, advance and retreat together unambiguously, and pursue the common prosperity of all people.

It is extremely difficult for future generations to achieve such a great awakening. Is it possible for the current people to do it?
It was almost obvious that Yang Wanwan wanted to take advantage of the meritorious deeds of Xiabian to set up a flag, and then lowered Wang Gui and the seven Lei brothers to bow their heads.The Seven Lei Brothers also have many people under their command. Lei Mang alone has several villages, but there are only a few of them. He has the right to control these villages. cannot be taken away at will.

In fact, even the previous Diren King could not directly command his subordinates.

If you really think about it, you have to find a slightly more tenable excuse, and you can't do it too often, or your subordinates will be reversed.

It is precisely because of this tradition of the Di people that Yang Wanwan's original strategy was to win over villages from all over the world, and then tried to gather the middle class to fight against the upper class. At the beginning of Yang Wanwan, there were also villages under the seven Lei brothers I have been in contact with it, and even secretly expressed that I will follow Yang Wanwan. When Yang Wanwan takes over the position of King Di Ren, he will increase the authority of these small villages and be eligible to participate in tribal meetings, more or less I also bought some people's hearts...

Wang Gui is more cunning, sometimes it is obvious that he is the one who sues and makes small reports in private, but when it comes to matters, he often pretends to be a good person to get a good impression from others, and it is normal to have a smile on his face , the kind that is insidious in the stomach.I remember one time when the leader of a village had a bad temper and was provoked by Wang Gui. The book says that the head of the village has a straight temper, but in fact his thoughts are very vicious. He also said the words that the head of the village was angry with his father when he was young, and threatened to kill his father...

Of course, the actual situation is that the leader of the village didn’t really do anything, and he yelled stubbornly when he was young and ignorant, but he couldn’t say that Wang Gui was lying, and then he spread it in front of the public like this, and immediately dismissed the leader of the village. The prestige and character will be negative, and the village will split up after a short time.

Therefore, Lei Mang is not very clear about what the other seven Lei brothers think, but Lei Mang thinks that Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui are not very authentic. At the moment, I am a little overjoyed, and there are not many people, and I have been "ten million" all day long. If there are more people, I can't stop shouting to what extent!

When the Old Diren King was there, Lei Mang always supported the Old Diren King in order to please the Old Diren King, and even acted as a vanguard to suppress other villages. He also took the opportunity to expand his strength, and offended many people. It is quite a lot.In the past, there was Lao Di Ren Wang suppressing, no one engaged in Lei Mang, but now that Lao Di Ren Wang is dead, the hidden dangers before have been revealed.

So Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui squeezed out Lei Mang intentionally or unintentionally, and let Lei Mang take charge of some unprofitable and unachievable jobs, other people would not say anything to Lei Mang.

After all, Yang Wanwan's previous achievements are there. If it is true that he can win the next contest and make new achievements, it is impossible to say that this Diren Wang will really fall on Yang Wanwan's head!

But maybe things in the world are often like this, when the most exciting time often hides the greatest risk.

After receiving the report from the sentry, saying that Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui were defeated at Xiabian City and were fleeing to Xialu, Lei Mang's mind was moved.

The Han people in Xiabian didn't pursue and fight fiercely. I don't know what they were planning, but for Lei Mang, it was not very difficult to send troops to rescue Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui. He just needed to send some soldiers to guide some Destroy the soldiers, and then make some preparations here at Xialu, but...

Lei Mang hesitated.

If Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui were to be left behind now, and Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui would definitely hate themselves, and they would turn against each other in the future, making it difficult to continue to cooperate.

Similarly, if it is said that going to support Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui, it seems that there is not much benefit, and it may be necessary to pay a part of the original income. save.

"My lord, do we want to meet him..." the confidant at the side asked in a low voice.

There is a word in Lei Mang's name, but in reality he is not at all reckless.

It is not difficult to make a decision, but it is difficult to be responsible for this decision.If you don't have to be responsible at all, and you can stand and talk at any time without back pain, how difficult is it to make a decision?
For example, those who accuse depression patients of being rational, but how could these guys with no back pain understand that since they are all depressed, how could they still have rational cognition and thinking logic?

Just when Lei Mang was still hesitating, a piece of news became the last straw that overwhelmed him.

On the other side, Lei Zong and Lei Han, the Seven Lei Brothers of the Lei Family, returned in a big defeat!

And it was even worse than Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui, with one dead and one injured!
"We... withdraw! ’Lei Mang ordered, ‘Damn Yang Wanwan!He killed everyone!withdraw!We withdraw! 』

Right now, there are problems with both the north and south lines. It is obviously a very bad situation. At this moment, the tree falls and the monkeys disperse. No, the tree must disperse before it arrives!
Otherwise, when the tree falls down, the slowest runner will undoubtedly be the worst one!

What Lei Mang didn't expect was that in Bazhong, another coalition of Di people and Jin people was also facing the threat of death...

There are cautious people, and of course there are arrogant people,

And hubris usually ends badly.

The coalition forces of the Di people, the Ba people, and the three parties were not united in the first place, and when encountering difficulties, it is even more impossible to gather together to resist and rely on each other, and more often there will be a situation where disasters occur separately. There may even be a situation where everyone pushes the wall down!

So when the Ba people took the lead in flying solo, the so-called coalition forces immediately collapsed.

What about digging trenches, what setting traps, and the previously discussed spittle splashing to ambush Gan Ning and Yan Yan, and what kind of color to give, all became jokes in the end.

The Ji people and Di people all over the mountains and plains fled.

Yan Yan and Gan Ning chased after them for a while, but in the same way, after the Di people had completely entered the forest area, they gradually withdrew their troops and did not pursue them relentlessly.

From Bazhong to Nanjiang, especially in the area where Nanjiang enters the Daba Mountains, there are hundreds of corpses of Jin people and Di people left behind.Some of these corpses were killed by the Han army, and many of them trampled to death by themselves when they were defeated.

During the pursuit, Yan Yan found that many of these dead people were old and weak, and the young and strong were only a small part of them, so he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

As for Gan Ning, he is still young and middle-aged, so he can't understand the thoughts of the older Yan Yan at all, but he is a little proud. After all, this battle came all the way from Langzhong, even if the opponent is The troops of the Direnba people could not be regarded as such a powerful opponent, but in any case, they had beheaded thousands of people, which can be regarded as a big victory.

More importantly, Gan Ning finally followed Yan Yan's suggestion, attacked the Cong Di coalition army, and rescued a large number of looted people.When these people expressed their gratitude to Gan Ning, and then held their heads in mourning for the deceased relatives, Gan Ning felt proud and happy, but also quite sad, anyway, the emotions were very complicated.

The people were rescued, but now there are some thorny problems. The surrounding area of ​​Nanjiang city is full of land nests. Generally speaking, young and strong people can survive the winter, but there are still many people among the people. Women, children and children, if there is no shelter in this severe winter, maybe even if they are rescued, they may not be able to survive the winter!
"Where's Nanjiang Shou?" 』

Gan Ning asked the little official.

When he arrived at Nanjiang, Gan Ning discovered a very interesting thing.

Nanjiang was not captured!
Maybe it was the Di people who were not good at siege, or they felt that the city of Nanjiang was not big, and the gains outweighed the losses. Anyway, I don’t know the specific reason. Anyway, the city walls of Nanjiang were intact, and the people in the city did not suffer. .

To some extent, Nanjiang is not bad like this, is it?

After all, there is no lost ground, right?
But the more interesting thing is yet to come, the little official from Nanjiang lowered his head and said, "General Qi... This, the county lord, um, it's gone..."

"What do you mean missing? 』Gan Ning frowned.

The little official still lowered his head, "It just disappeared... When the thieves attacked the city, I don't know why they disappeared..."

Gan Ning smacked his lips and said, "Run away? 』

The little official lowered his head even further and remained silent.

Running away, whether it is for the civil servant series or the general series, is not something worthy of glory.Not to mention that they are facing military chaos at the level of the Di people, the Jin people and the Ba people.

Yes, that's right, even if you run away, there is still a difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps.It's like tax evasion of 10,000 yuan and tax evasion of [-] million. The result is definitely different.

"What about the magistrate?call over! ’ Gan Ning said in a deep voice.

The little official still didn't raise his head, "Report to the general, the county magistrate...the county magistrate was attacked by bandits before, and he personally went to the battle to supervise the soldiers. Unfortunately, he was injured by a stray arrow, and now he is being raised in the city..."

"Hey! Gan Ning couldn't help laughing, "Nanjiang has no county guard, and the second county magistrate was injured, and the city has not been defended...it's not easy..."

"It's all thanks to the fathers and the people in the city, staying calm in the face of danger, and working together to protect Nanjiang..." The little official never raised his head from the beginning to the end, "Now that the refugees are outside the city, good and bad cannot be distinguished, and they are not the hearts of the people in Nanjiang city Ruthless, it is because he is powerless to help and appease him, so I ask the general to lead the refugees back home as soon as possible, this is the right way...』

"Um? ! Gan Ning raised his eyebrows, then glanced at Yan Yan who also didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and then waved his hand, "I got it, you go down first!" 』

The little official nodded and walked away.

Gan Ning watched the little official leave, sneered, and said, "Old General Yan, you said... how many lies did this guy tell?" 』

Yan Yan stroked his gray beard, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It should be to say... how many truths are there..."

"Um? Gan Ning turned his head, widened his eyes, nodded, and ground his teeth, "Hey!The old general still sees clearly!This guy...hehe...」

Yan Yan didn't speak again.

Gan Ning rolled his eyes and moved closer, "Brother Yan, brother, give me a regulation..."

Yan Yan smiled, her gray beard trembled, and she shook her head.

"What do you mean? ’ Gan Ning asked.

Yan Yan sighed and said, "It's not easy..."

Gan Ning and Yan Yan also knew that these refugees could not stay in Nanjiang for a long time, and had to go to Central Sichuan to make arrangements. But now, on the one hand, Central Sichuan itself has not yet settled down, so no one will come to accept this matter. On the other hand, even if someone If you are willing to take over, you also need money and food. You can't say that these refugees really become refugees and plunder all the way back?

If this is really the case, how many more tragedies will happen to these refugees!
So Gan Ning's intention to find Nanjiang Shou is that Nanjiang will support some food and grass, so that these refugees can support the next urban and rural areas, and then slowly arrange them one by one, so that this large group of refugees can return to their original places. , or properly placed.

But obviously, the further you go, the less you need to pay.As Nanjiang at the forefront, it is obvious that he has to pay more, so Nanjiang is not willing.

So can it be said that Nanjiang will pay first, and then the counties and townships will make up for Nanjiang's shortfall?

Such a plan seems wonderful, but in fact it is simply not feasible.

Who will make it up?

Which family has no hard-to-recite scriptures?

After a few years of delay, everything will be ruined, and it will become a bad debt, and finally nothing will be done.Even in later generations, there are countless such bad debts in every industry. Could it be that these people are not trustworthy and do not understand the truth?

Obviously not, it's just that this kind of cross-regional and cross-departmental matter does not have a high enough level to supervise, promote and implement it, and it is simply impossible to do it only by the locality...

Now in Sichuan and Sichuan, Langzhong, Brazil, and Bazhong are in chaos, Fang Ping, and Chengdu in central Sichuan are in chaos again. Gan Ning and Yan Yan may not be able to understand the specific evolution of Sichuan and Shu, and they can calm down the chaos and rescue refugees. That's pretty good, not to mention that there are some areas in Brazil, China and Brazil that have endured greater and more disasters.

These areas are really difficult, and there are some who cannot afford money and food.

Could it be that Gan Ning and Yan Yan didn't care about it, and forced the localities all the way from Nanjiang, without considering the actual situation at all, and asked the localities to cooperate?

Moreover, according to the little official, at the moment in Nanjiang, the county magistrate is gone, the magistrate is injured, and the elders are in charge in the city, and the old folks are unwilling to open the gates, preventing Gan Ning and others from entering the city, and also not letting the refugees enter the city. city.

Villagers, at certain times, controlled the mouthpiece of a group of people, representing the will of a city and a place. The key is that according to the description of the little official, these Nanjiang villagers still have "gong"!
The county magistrate who was supposed to be the leader and resist the attack of the Di Ren Ba people "disappeared" when the bandits were in chaos. He didn't show up when fighting against the bandit chaos, so there is the word "disappeared".

The county magistrate "disappeared", and the county magistrate "stepped forward" and personally went up to the city wall to supervise the battle. He was shot, unfortunately seriously injured, and was raised at home. Such a county magistrate, just ask, is it considered meritorious?
The county magistrate was injured, and the village elder "stepped forward" and led Nanjiang's father and son to resist tenaciously, swearing to the death, and finally ensured that Nanjiang did not fall into the hands of thieves and preserved the integrity of the city. Such a village elder also said, Is it meritorious?
So now such a meritorious person, if Gan Ning and Yan Yan use force...

That's not impossible, but basically it's nailed to the board. In the future, Nanjiang, or even Bazhong, or Bashu, as long as this matter is mentioned, the reputation of Gan Ning and Yan Yan will be over.After all, Nanjiang didn't mean that he wouldn't give it at all, but that he couldn't give so much, so he could only squeeze out some support from his teeth.

Ever since, the problem is stuck here, and it can't be delayed.

Xiang Lang?Xiang Lang was in Brazil, even if he rushed over, he would be beyond his reach.When Xiang Lang came over, the refugees didn't know how many people would freeze to death and starve to death. Besides, Xiang Lang only had the authority of Langzhong, and Nanjiang was Bazhong, so there were two places at all.

That's why Yan Yan didn't speak up before.

It's hard to say, and it's hard to handle.

Could it be said that these refugees are Bazhong people, and then those people in Nanjiang are not Bazhong people?Or maybe Nanjiang defended the city, and the damage was not that serious, so he had to contribute money and efforts to help these refugees?What's more, these old folks in Nanjiang City and the people in the city didn't say that they couldn't save them at all, they just said that they could only do what they could, and they could only provide limited help. Could it be that there is something wrong with this?

Suddenly, Gan Ning and Yan Yan faced this difficult problem...
