Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2385

When the common people in Chang'an accepted all kinds of new things ignorantly, and didn't know what the changes might lead to, the sons of the gentry in Sanfu in Chang'an had already been beaten dizzy by General Hussar's stick, hey hey endlessly.

The children of the gentry are actually the same as ordinary people, divided into three, six, and nine classes.Some upper-class gentry children may have received some news a long time ago, while gentry children who are farther away from the central court may have known about the policy change at about the same time as ordinary people.

"Someone is thinking about..."

"No, no, don't think about it, your thinking is dangerous..."

"What do you mean? 』

"Can't you see that?This Pang represents over there?What about Wei?There's another horse...'

"This... how can you do this? 』

"Heavenly... this is devoid of conscience..."

A circle of people were wailing.

Because they found that it is getting more and more difficult to be an official, and the risk of making money is getting bigger and bigger.

In the past, we could collude with each other, because something happened, the big deal is to cover each other up and solve the person who raised the problem, but now when the person who raised the problem is not a small pawn, but a big boss, these people are in great pain , and began to lament, as painful as if his heart, liver, spleen and lungs had been cut off.

But before their emotions or speeches were pushed to a higher level, they were slapped back by another wave.Representing the great victory in Hanzhong, and the queue to escort the Xiqiang captives, they finally entered the Sanfu of Chang'an.

Those who escorted the captives were Gao Wutong and Yun Er. These two guys traveled all the way from the Western Regions to Chang'an, somewhat expecting and also worried.Of course, Gao Wutong is mainly worried, Yuner, since he knew he was going to enter Chang'an, his mouth has never closed...

"How much reward do you think General Hussars will give me?" 』Yun Er chuckled, as if seeing the dazzling brilliance of gold and silver.

Gao Wutong: "..."

"Hey, when the time comes, eat all the delicious food in Chang'an... Tell me, don't know if it's enough?" 』

Gao Wutong: "..."

"I'm talking to you, can't you respond? 』

Gao Wutong sighed helplessly, "You have asked these questions three times, no, five times, what else do you want me to say?" 』

"Hey, I'll just talk about it casually, talk about it..." Yuner laughed, his eyebrows beaming.

After entering Guanzhong, Yun Er jumped out more and more. The main reason was that he had never seen many things before, and they were so novel. The guy just ran off to have fun.

Like Yun Er, which is basically a single-celled animal, basically does not put anything in his heart. Fighting is all about fighting. Eat and drink after the fight, sleep after eating and drinking, sleep well and wait for the next fight. Some are fun and delicious, but they are too happy.

But Gao Wutong is not the case.Since arriving in the Western Regions and then returning from the Western Regions, Gao Wutong has been more silent in comparison.

What bothers me is not only Yun Er, but also a noisy little official.

Gao Wutong and the others needed to be stationed at the school grounds outside Chang'an City first, and they didn't just bring the prisoners into the city in a daze.

The person in charge of connecting with Gao Wutong is a small official from Youfufeng, whose surname is Li Mingfeng. He has been full of praise for Gao Wutong and others all the way, or he is sincere, or maybe it is because he wants to take a ride. After all, think about it a little bit. We all know that once the captive is offered, the reward will come soon?Even if you can't get a ride, it's good to get acquainted.

"Longyou Great Victory, widely spread among the three assistants, a great victory unprecedented in 30 years, it is exciting to hear, and it is so exciting..."

"Although I'm not very brave, I still have the heart to yearn for the battlefield. I am lucky to see you all warriors..."

"Now in Sansuke, everyone is looking forward to the warriors..."

With an embarrassed yet polite smile, Gao Wutong responded indifferently.

From far away, some common people saw Gao Wutong's queue, and they couldn't help but stand by the roadside. They didn't dare to obstruct the march of the army, they just looked at it with a kind of eyes that Gao Wutong couldn't describe, and then deeply After bending over to salute, some scattered voices rang out, interrupting the croaking of Yun Er and Li Feng on the left and right...

"Big man wins! 』

"Hussars are victorious! 』

Then more people joined in shouting, "Victory, victory! 』

For some reason, Gao Wutong suddenly felt that the boredom and worries in his heart had faded a lot, and then a smile appeared on his face...

...(*^__^*)...

In Chang'an Zuixian Building, in a small wing room, two people sat facing each other drinking.

One of them held a wine glass, and poured out his complaints.

"Two years ago, no, three years ago, my younger brother said that this son is an extraordinary person and should not be taken lightly... But my elder brother said to be cautious, to be cautious... He said that in the Shangyong area, all three roads are accessible. The trouble is huge, there are many problems, you have to be cautious... I heard it at the time, and didn't say anything...』

"Later, the hussars came out of Hangu and rushed to attack Xu County. The world was shaken. Brother, I once again said that this kind of people who are always shocked by the world should plan as soon as possible... Then, the hussars retreated. My brother said again. Look……"

"Be careful, wait and see..."

"Land of the sage, although there are mountains in the north and south, but it reaches the three states, the land is small and the people are small..."

Shen Yi shook her head, the wine in the glass dangled and spilled a lot.

The Shen family is the surname of Shangyong, and the place is powerful.It has strong local strength in the Shangyong area.

Shangyong is a special place.

Or is there anything special about the land of Huaxia?To become a great unifier must be great perseverance!

Historically, Shangyong was roughly similar to Qingxu’s Taishan Army, and was in a semi-independent state. It was not until Sima Yi defeated Meng Da and moved Shenyi to Luoyang, that is, the chaos in the new city of the region, that the hidden dangers here were completely eliminated. .

In ancient times, Shangyong was the ancient Yong state, a descendant of the Rongcheng family, and the Rongchen in the time of the Yellow Emperor began to form slowly.When King Wu defeated Zhou, Guyong State was once the head of the Western Eight-Nation Alliance. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Guyong State even took the initiative to attack Chu State. The repeated victories made Guyong State lose its vigilance against Chu State, thinking that "Chu Insufficient and fighting, so there is no equipment", and then naturally it was hammered.

King Zhuang of Chu united Qin and Ba, and the three countries jointly attacked the ancient Yong country, and finally destroyed the Yong country.

Ancient mediocre people were good at making utensils and building cities. It is rumored that Luoyi, the city of Luoyang in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was built by mediocre people, so mediocre people were also called "Yongren".

When Zhang Lu was still in Hanzhong, because he couldn't actually control the Shangyong area, he could only stay in the Nanzheng area. For example, the Shangyong area in Xicheng had always been appointed, and he couldn't even get in.

Later, Fei Qian conquered Hanzhong, but due to the consideration of many factors, Fei Qian did not take any actions against the big households in Hanzhong Shangyong, which was almost equivalent to appointment.When Huang Cheng was training troops in Shangyong, he once controlled the command of Shangyong County. Later, Huang Cheng was transferred away, and Zhang Ze took advantage of it. However, whether it is Huang Cheng or Zhang Ze, in fact, the control of Shangyong Not quite.

Around Shangyong, there are many mountains and forests, and some cottages control almost all the areas that can be cultivated.

At most, Zhang Ze's subordinates still have some control in Shangyong County, and they are basically within the scope of Shangyong's big households outside the county.This is also the reason why Wei Yan came and went in and out of Shangyong territory, but very little information was reported to Zhang Ze.

This is also the housekeeping ability of the wealthy and powerful families in Shangyong. In history, they even took advantage of a lot of advantages, and they were not completely eliminated until the late period of the Three Kingdoms. A factor in Guan Yu's death...

"...The Battle of Hanzhong was originally driven by Zhang's greed...Earlier, Zhang followed the hussars, and he was the first female to lie down. Until the beginning of the Western Qiang War, Zhang thought he had an opportunity, so he turned against him..." Now Shen Yi What he said seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but in fact, Shen was also pretending to be deaf and dumb to Zhang's actions at the time, pretending that he didn't know anything, and his idea was to take advantage of the opportunity...

"Ms. Zhang despised Huqi...I said I should contact Huqi sooner..." Shen Yi drank the wine, put it on the table, and sighed, "It's a pity...hey, my brother said goodbye again Wait...Now, I am tired by Mrs. Zhang...』

Shen Yi really hated Mrs. Zhang, she said it like gnashing her teeth, like eating his flesh raw.

In fact, Shen Shi was really fooled by Zhang Shi.

Back when Zhang Ze’s subordinates were in Shangyong, of course, for the sake of stability, they did not seldom declare some of Zhang’s big plans, especially the fact that Zhang and Cao Cao had reached an agreement that Cao’s army would come to support from Jingzhou sooner or later, even more so. , There are even names, locations, and physical evidence, just like the real thing.

On the edge of Shangyong is Fangling, and to the east of Fangling is Xiangyang, so if the Cao army really sent troops, then naturally it would really arrive in Fangling, or even the Shangyong area, so Shen felt that there was no It is necessary to place a bet so early, and wait until the winner is finally determined before placing the chips on it.

"then……"

Shen Yi let out a long sigh, then poured herself another glass of wine, and drank it with her head raised, her face full of sorrow.

Who would have thought?
Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and Zhu Ling's military power displayed under Nanzheng City scared all the powerful households in Hanzhong to pee.

Zhang Ze committed suicide on the day the city was destroyed.

There is a saying that life is worse than death, and only when you know that life is better than death will you seek death.

Although Nanzheng City is not as precarious as Xiongguan, it has been operated by the Zhang family for many years. In addition to Yangpingguan, the North and South camps, it can be said that almost everyone in Hanzhong and Shangyong thought that its defense system was not attacked by hussars and horses. Strong enough and hard to beat.

At least not within a short period of time.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations!
When the Vulcan stone cannon roared and defeated Zhang's city defenses in Nanzheng, it actually also defeated the defenses of all the powerful nobles in Hanzhong Shangyong...

Zhang Ze chose to commit suicide because not only did he know that he could not survive, but he also knew that other Zhang's Wubao also lost the capital to negotiate terms with Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Zhu Ling!

The Zhang family only has to surrender, a complete surrender, and there is still a chance of survival. In front of the Vulcan stone cannon, Nanzheng's city defense is like paper. Could it be said that Zhang's Wubao Manor scattered around Hanzhong can compare Zheng wants to be stronger?Therefore, on the day the city is broken, it is equivalent to the collapse of all Zhang's Wubao at the same time. Only Zhang can bear all the responsibilities and cut off all ties with himself, so that it is possible to preserve a certain amount of life. A little bit of Zhang's blood...

Not within the Zhang family, but outside the Zhang family.

For example, Zhang's children who surrendered earlier...

The children born to several married women of the Zhang family...

Or it was adopted to other people back then...

If Zhang Ze is not dead, then most of these "relationship households" in the surrounding area will inevitably throw out all those who can be regarded as Zhang's people in order to avoid responsibility, and Zhang will commit suicide in the city, just like some criminals who committed suicide in later generations. In the same way, some things may no longer be pursued.

When the Zhang family was destroyed, the Shen family was also frightened and had diabetes insipidus.

Because Shen's confidence is also in Wubao around Shangyong and Xicheng...

And although it is said that the Shen family helped Wei Yan intentionally or unintentionally after Wei Yan's arrival, and did not continue to go with the Zhang family, the problem is that as long as everyone can understand that the overall pattern of Hanzhong Shangyong is completely different, Shen's It is impossible to continue to be the same as before.

Local tyrants controlled the surrounding land and farmers through Wubao, and it has become a practice to use these mutually dependent Wubao as the capital to resist the Han regime.

Now I suddenly realized that Wubao, which I thought was solid and proud of, was suddenly like an egg shell, which would break if touched. This kind of psychological gap is not insignificant.

What's more, he may be dragged into the water by Mrs. Zhang at any time...

Self-help has become Shen's immediate concern.

"...Thinking of my Shen family, I moved to Shangyong a hundred years ago, cleaned up the water conservancy, refined the hometown, made friends with all parties, and made good friends with Jindi...but I never thought of today..."

"The younger brother came to Chang'an this time to seek some life for the Shen family!However, my younger brother went to the Hushi mansion to deliver the homage...five times!The younger brother voted five times back and forth!Returning without success again and again, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, without any news!And the mediocrity is... the little brother is suffering... suffering...』

"Little brother knows how presumptuous it is to seek elder brother's place today... It's just that we all underestimated the strength of the hussars... Today is Hanzhong Shangyong, where will it be tomorrow?"If the Shen family followed the Zhang family and died together today, if in the past... who can speak up to uphold justice? 』

"The hussars are going to be defeated one by one now. If... let it go, I'm afraid it will be..." Shen Yi said so far, sighed, and looked out of the window of the restaurant.

The restaurant faces the street.

Because Zuixian Tower itself is a place with a lot of traffic, the surrounding area is also very lively, shops and stalls abound, pedestrians come and go, and a few children are laughing and playing around in the alley.

The sun was shining on the street, and the patrol inspector led three or five inspectors, riding slowly along the street on horseback.On the high platform at the corner of the street, soldiers with longbows on their backs are on duty, and the iron plate on the brim of the helmet reflects the cold light...

"Brother Pei!Please also save the younger brother's family from the fire and water! ’ Shen Yi seemed to be stung by the cold light, she suddenly closed her eyes and shed tears, she left the table and kowtowed to the middle-aged man opposite, ‘Shen’s family, if there is an assignment in the future, it will be a sea of ​​swords and fire, and I will never refuse ! 』

Pei Yuan stretched out his hand, gave Shen Yi a hand, and then sighed, "It's not because of my brother's cruelty, but this matter...it's really difficult..."

Shen Yi also went to Chang'an Riverside to study in the past, and had a relationship with Pei Yuan. After asking to see the hussars to no avail, and then some gentry in Guanzhong were unwilling to provoke the upper body, and avoided it one after another. Pei Yuan was left as a life-saving straw.

At least Pei Yuan is still a member of the Senate, and he still has some titles.

As for Pei Yuan, he is very poor...

relatively poor.

Senate members of the Senate are of course paid.If these salaries are used for daily expenses, of course there is no problem, but since it is an "important position" in the Senate, how could it be possible that there will not be some greetings, participation in some elegant literature tastings, wine tastings, open conferences, etc. ?

Then the Senate salary of the Senate is naturally not enough.

Pei Yuan's father has passed away, and his capital in Hedong is not that rich. In addition, he and Pei Mao also had conflicts before. It is simply impossible to get Pei Mao's support.And if he really reached out to Pei Mao for money, most likely Pei Mao would give it to him, but Pei Yuan would naturally have to pay the corresponding price...

Pei Yuan's purpose in coming to Chang'an was to establish his own family, so of course he didn't want to become Pei Mao's dog who would come and go around just for a few money.

Throttling means that there is no way to save money, but we can only find ways to increase revenue.

There are more sources of income, although the income has increased a lot, but naturally there are also a lot of risks. This time, the "Law of Corruption" created by the Hussar General of Qinglong Temple almost made Pei Yuan sleepless at night.On the bright side, you can’t oppose it. You are afraid of attracting the attention of others.

Shan Xiang, who called out the slogan, felt guilty in his heart.

Can't let people see it yet!

Tired, how do you become an actor?
That's how it was made!

Pei Yuan has saved a lot of money through various means in the past two years, but the money will bite his hands, if things go wrong...

Pei Yuan didn't have the ability to jump out to fight against the hussars, so he naturally thought of a corresponding strategy.

There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
Taking advantage of the time gap before the big board was laid down, Temiao couldn't get along under the hussars, so he fled, bah, moved, bah, went to other places for academic exchanges!

To go to academic exchanges, of course, you can't do without something by your side.

Shen Yi, who had nowhere to ask for help, became Pei Yuan's fat sheep, and one of them was naturally picked up first. Who knows if there is still a chance to pick up the wool next time, before it's too late...

Shen Yi took out a few "flying tickets" from the bank and stuffed them into Pei Yuan's hands.

Huqi money houses are all over the world, um, not completely all over the world, but in most important cities in Huqi territory, even in Xu County, Yecheng, and Wu County, there are banks that can exchange these flying tickets. shop.

Of course, the ones in Huqi's territory are the "Dahan Bank" directly under Huqi, but in the territory of other princes, they are the banks controlled by other princes.After all, the princes in these places also need to do business with hussars.

Drunken Immortal Wine, Golden Fan...

Pei Yuan glanced at it slightly, squeezed it, with an angry expression on his face, "What do you mean?"Who do you think I am? 』

"I'm just asking for my brother's advice, I have no other intentions..." Shen Yi's expression moved slightly, and she took out some "flying tickets", then bowed again, and sent them to Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan's eyeballs quickly slid back and forth on the "Flying Ticket" a few times, and after calculating the amount, the angry look on his face disappeared. Then he subconsciously looked left and right, rolled up his big sleeves, and said, "Get up and talk." , get up and talk..."

"If someone else... definitely ignores it..." Pei Yuan looked at Shen Yi and said in a low voice, "However, you and I are old friends, I really... Forget it, forget it... There is only one way to survive..."

Shen Yi moved forward, and stuffed something in her hand, "Please enlighten me, brother..."

"I don't know if my virtuous brother has ever heard that...the victory of the Western Qiang War, there will be a sacrifice of captives? 』Pei Yuan has one thing and another, of course there is no awkwardness in the movement of putting it away this time, "My dear brother... Do you understand? 』
