Weird Three Kingdoms

It is not difficult to really solve the problem of the Western Regions.

Whether it's killing people, arresting them, or mobilizing an army, it's actually not that difficult.

As long as you get down to it, killing people is like killing pigs, so what's the big deal?
But it is difficult to completely solve the problems in the Western Regions.

Even Fei Qian emphasized several times that it was temporary, or called trial, but Guo Tu couldn't feel relaxed.After all, this also reflects in a certain aspect how difficult it is to build a "rule" that is applicable to the Western Regions now, but also applicable to other regions, and can also be applied in the future.

"Western Regions..." Feng Ji pondered, his eyes flickering, "Lu Fengxian..."

"Hussars mean that Lu Fengxian will not die except for the great rebellion. Guo Tu said in a low voice, subconsciously glanced left and right, like a thief observing the environment before making a move, "Feng Xian, this name is quite appropriate, Feng Yuxian also..."

"But if you don't offend Lu Fengxian, this..." Feng Ji also lowered his voice, "How will the meritorious officer be judged and verified?" 』

Although Fengji agreed very readily at the Hushi Festival Hall, but as a classic veteran in the workplace, slapping his chest and buttocks have been deeply engraved in his bones.

No one likes the people who test the merits of the department to sink and check.

So should we go through a process, or be serious about it?
Fengji hesitated.Because these two choices cannot coexist, Snake and Rat will only appear incompetent at both ends, and the position of Kaogong Division will not last long.Feng Ji was also very clear about General Hushi's idea, which was to formally turn Kao Gongsi into a hunting dog for internal officials to smell and inspect.

There is actually nothing wrong with being a minion and a dog. What is even worse is those who can't even do a good job as a minion and a dog...

Those who are useless will be skinned and hung up to dry.

Or chop it up and put it in the pot on the spot.

Huaxia's habits have always been so sincere.

"The hussars use you and me," Guo Tu stroked his beard, his expression was a little gloomy, "that is, you and I are not from Jingxiang. 』

"ah? "Feng Ji raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood, his eyebrows turned into a horoscope, "Oh... this is really..." Feng Ji shivered subconsciously, "Hussars... This is when Lu Fengxian was dispatched to the Western Regions. Just think about it? 』

Guo Tu lowered his head and exhaled softly, "Maybe it's Li Wenyou, or Jia Wenhe... But Lu Fengxian definitely doesn't know about this... No, even if Lu Fengxian knew, he would definitely go to the Western Regions ...'

Feng Ji was silent for a while, then nodded, "Of course. 』

No choice.

Just like the current Guo Tu and Feng Ji, they also have no choice.

Some people may say, it’s a big deal to go home and sell sweet potatoes!
Not to mention whether there are sweet potatoes at the moment, even if they really go home to sell sweet potatoes, what kind of mood will they feel when those temporary workers rush up to grab the sweet potato cart and forcefully pack the cart and sweet potatoes away?Can you still say such free and easy words?

It is true that you can choose not to eat people, but first you must at least have the ability to protect yourself from being eaten.

"With Kaogong Division in the light, Youwen Division can hide in the dark..." Feng Ji sighed, stretched out his hand, and opened his wide sleeves, "At this moment, it feels like I am standing on the battlefield, There are endless swords, guns and arrows in front of you, and the cold light is flickering...』

Some time ago, Youwen Division was responsible for too many complicated matters, both internally and externally.If the Kaogong Division can become independent, then the internal officials will become the main project of the Kaogong Division, and the Wensi will be able to release more energy to do more valuable things.

Kaogongsi became a shield in front of Youwensi.

The light is shining and shining.

This made Feng Ji very beautiful as soon as he appeared on the stage, but it just stopped there.Because Fengji is destined to do the work of a sinner, the last position he can get is Doctor Yushi, don't think about anything else.If Fengji wants to take this opportunity to sell favors and form cliques, don't forget that behind Kaogongsi's ass is Youwensi...

Feng Ji was in pain because of this, and he could already feel the pain of the shield.

Guo Tu smiled wryly and said: "You and I should be more serious...Huqi is not easy to deceive..."

Feng Ji had a headache, and so did Guo Tu.

Although Wei Duan fell, Guo Tu managed to climb up a bit and became the head of the Senate, but it doesn't mean that he can lie down and rest.

Wei Duan's pain back then has now become Guo Tu's.

The job of the Senate is also very difficult.

Because Confucian scholars before the Great Han Dynasty, whether they were high-ranking officials, when they wanted to find some laws or theoretical basis, they would look in the scriptures, and then said that this was the wisdom of the ancient sages, and this was the proven effective method, etc. So no matter what the problem is, what it is, it is actually easy to fool.

The contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods brought a lot of brilliance to the collision of ideas, but these things did not become a ladder for future generations to continue to develop, but instead became an excuse for future generations to be lazy, and were played by these lazy gentry children as nesting dolls.

But now the requirements for hussars are different.

Phoebe wants a new law.

Just like Shusun Tong at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, to have a brand new rule is to create something from scratch, which is naturally much more difficult than just picking up a book and copying it wherever it is.

Ever since Guo Tu left the Huqi Mansion, he has been thinking about the affairs of the Western Regions in his mind. He should be able to refer to the regulations and codes of the Great Han, or the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. Something that can be related.

The Western Regions is a new problem faced by the great man, and this problem has been solved by the great man for three or four hundred years without being able to form a system. How can Guo Tu find any ready-made answer?

According to Huqi's meaning, Guo Tu also understands that this is a different, brand-new law that will be produced according to different situations. Even if some of the old laws are adopted, it must be based on the original foundation. More improvements and extensions, and the days of picking and choosing among old paper piles are gone forever.

Guo Tu still remembered the pain experienced by the entire Senate when Wei Duan was about to come up with the Corruption Law, but now, it's his turn to taste the pain.

When the Law of Corruption first appeared, not only Wei Duan, but also Guo Tu felt that the Law of Corruption was too strict to be implemented in practice. As a result, Longyou and Longxi slapped Guo Tu across the face.

Now, the corruption law has become a law that officials including Chang'an Sanfu must know, and it has gradually become clear and implemented in many places.

In the next step, if even the Western Regions, which were considered frontier areas in the eyes of the Han people, also implemented the corruption law, then in this world, where else would it not be applicable?
"Huqi Shenmou, neither you nor I can do it... If the Western Regions are successful, it will be a great achievement..." Guo Tu said slowly, "This is something that has never happened in a big man for 400 years... You and I are already in the car on...」

Guo Tu stood up, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Since this path was chosen by you and me in the past, it can be the same now... Senate... Since a certain is already the principal of the court, from now on, it is convenient for a certain to participate in the law." In the courtyard, one day the new law of the Western Regions failed, and one day he would not go home... As for the examination officer, in my opinion, it is better to be strict... After all, kindness from above is the right way. I'm afraid it will be troublesome..."

After being silent for a while, Guo Tu said, "Huqi is different from others... This is an opportunity... You know, Huqi has always liked Yangmou..."

Feng Ji sighed and nodded.

After a while, Guo Tu stood up and said goodbye.

Feng Ji sent him out of the door, and then returned home. After sitting for a while, he also got up and ordered people to prepare clothes and washing utensils. He was also preparing to work in the examination office.

I don't know when it started, the leisurely life of officials seems to have disappeared from the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an. The greater the official position, the heavier the responsibility, the more things, the more headaches...

If Guo Tu and Feng Ji knew the current situation back then, would they have chosen to come to Chang'an?

Probably not.

Maybe.

But just like what Guo Tu said, now that they are tied to Feiqian's chariot, how they continue to go is no longer up to them, and it's not like they can get off easily if they want to get off the...

…o(*////▽////*)q…

Western Regions, outside Xihai City.

Matthew also had difficulty getting out of the car after getting into the car.

In the beginning, Matthew's whitewashing process went smoothly.

When he first wanted to be the boss of Xihai City, Matthew was a little scared at first. After all, he had been a thief for many years, and suddenly heard that he had the opportunity to be an official. Even if he was the boss, he still couldn't believe it.

After all, Matthew used the so-called banner of doing justice for the sky...

It's like slapping yourself in the face.

But it's not shabby to eat, is it?
Although it is said that the flag has fallen, Pound is dead, and Matthew himself has become a joke, but even if it is a joke, people still have to live. Matthew, who is almost at zero, must have some money if he wants to turn around. Now Guishuang's people ran away far away, who knows where they went, and if Ma Xiu didn't make some money, the gang would really break up.

So, even though Matthew was also afraid that if he was recognized by the officials in Xihai, wouldn't it be the same as throwing himself into a trap?But he had no choice but to bite the bullet.After he reconnected with Fatty An's people and arrived in Xihai City, he suddenly found that his worries were unnecessary.

No one cares about him at all!

Just like Fatty An said, as long as Matthew can bring enough jerky, no one will ask any more questions!
So much so that Matthew had prepared an excuse for a long time before, and he didn't use a single word...

If someone asks, "What kind of meat is this?" 』

Matthew planned to say, 'This is dog meat.Meat of jackals. 』

Next time it will be changed to rat meat, or any other meat.

If someone still asks, "Is there a jackal over there?"Why didn't we find any jackals? 』

Matthew would say, "It's all in the depths of the Gobi... we have to go deep..."

Then, not a single question was asked.

The meat was collected, and then sent to the front one after another at the fastest speed, because these meats have only been cured briefly and cannot be stored for a long time.

Once the money is in hand, Matthew and the others will put their hearts into their stomachs, and they can even replenish some consumption outside the camp outside Xihai City...

Everything seemed to be getting better, and Matthew even began to imagine that he would go to the light from then on.

As for his previous evaluation and attitude towards such "brightness", this is not important.Do people have to eat? How can the matter of eating be considered poor?
But when Zhang Liao came, everything changed.

First, all meat purchases were stopped, and then General Ma Pian of Xihai Daying asked him to "act"...

Matthew refused at first, but Ma Pianjiang sneered and said that he was not qualified to refuse, because he was not only a big guy, but also a horse thief.Only at this time did Matthew realize that the identity he thought he had concealed well was actually like a mole on a bald man's head, very obvious.

At the beginning of acting, everything went smoothly.

The soldiers in the Xihai camp seemed to be frightened by Matthew's surprise attack. Not only did they not attack, but they were not tenacious even in defense. Even the arrows they shot were sparse. There was a loud noise, as if there was chaos not only on the wall of the camp, but also in the camp!
This made Matthew couldn't help but think of the previous forward camp...

At that time, the forward camp was just like the Xihai camp in front of us, chaotic and weak.

if……

Matthew couldn't bear it, he thought and thought.

At first, it was just a little bit, but then it became gnashing of teeth. Just when he was about to take it no longer, and was about to turn his thoughts into actions, Zhang Liao rushed out with people...

Zhang Liao was like a fierce tiger pounced directly from the cave. He knocked down the horse thief in the part closest to the camp with two or three blows, and then tore him to pieces!
And that group of horse thieves was also quite numerous, and perhaps, like Matthew, they also thought of the previous forward camp, and were still clamoring to wreak havoc at the gate of the camp, but the gate slammed open. The horse thief was so excited that he went mad, and was almost crushed into powder by Zhang Liao and his men!

A thought flashed in Matthew's mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat!
be cheated!
Any acting, any weakness, any cooperation, and any defensive omissions are all fake!It's all a trap!
Matthew reined in the reins, started to slow down and turn around, and shouted loudly, "It's been tricked!"run, run! 』

As dusk fell, Matthew realized that before he knew it, his underwear had already been soaked in cold sweat, and the chest of his vest felt chills intermittently when blown by the chilly grassland night wind.

... (Д) ...

Zhang Liao was searching for Matthew.

In other words, searching for the leader of the horse thief.

Zhang Liao didn't get any information about Matthew from General Ma and other military academies, but he knew that someone outside the camp must be the leader commanding the group of horse thieves.

These horse thieves did not have the same equipment. Even though some horse thieves wore battle robes similar to those of the Han army, there were still many horse thieves who only wore all kinds of animal skins and coarse cloth, and many of them did not wear armor. of.There are also various types of weapons, some are more like the cavalry of the Han army, with long spears and knives, some are more like the Hu people, only have spears and long bows, and some are using weapons like the Qiang people There are even some with hammers and sticks.

Not only are the weapons and armor different, but their faces are also very different. Some people have deep eyes and high noses, some have big flat faces and small noses, and some have small eyes and big beards like Xianbei. ...

Who is the leader?
Zhang Liao couldn't remember Ma Xiu anymore.

Even if Zhang Liao had met Ma Xiu, after all these years, Ma Xiu's appearance had changed, and it might not be the same as what Zhang Liao remembered.It's like a playmate when I was a child, maybe in my memory, they are still so innocent, cute, and intimate, but when I grow up and meet each other, I will find that it is completely different.The innocent smile turned into a greasy fake smile, and the slender body turned into a round belly...

Therefore, Zhang Liao can only judge who is the leader of this group of horse thieves through observation.

Zhang Liao was still a little worried about the Xihai camp, even though Meng Hua led some people to help defend the camp.Meng Hua came from the original Xihai camp, so he has some prestige in the Xihai camp, which is helpful for the fastest stabilization of the situation in the Xihai camp, and even Meng Hua brought a part of the Xihai camp The battalion solved the "ambush" of General Ma...

But after all, it cannot be said that there is no risk at all.

So Zhang Liao didn't dare to let the horse thieves really rush into the Xihai camp. He could only find a way to get rid of the leaders of these horse thieves outside to eliminate the hidden dangers outside the city of Xihai.

The flame of anger was burning in Zhang Liao's heart. He really didn't expect that these soldiers in Xihai had fallen into the same situation as the horse thieves, but Zhang Liao was different from Lu Bu after all. He did not lose his mind because of the anger in his heart. He will still calmly analyze the situation on the scene and make the best response.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao noticed something different about the group of horse thieves in the distance ahead...

It's not the horse thieves that make the difference, but the horses.

That group of horse thieves had about twenty war horses. When they were running, the pace of the horses was not much different from each other!
When people stay together for a long time, they will become somewhat similar. Even two people who are not related to each other, such as husband and wife, have a so-called husband and wife appearance after staying together for a long time.There is even a female dormitory in the university who has stayed in the dormitory for a long time, and even the aunt is in sync...

Even more so with war horses.Because of the habits of the war horses themselves, if the pace of the war horses in a group of war horses is inconsistent, that is, the speed of the war horses running is different, then the war horses that are running in a group will inevitably be pulled back and forth, and they will be out of touch with each other. .

This is actually like when wild horses are running, they are always densely packed together, as if the front and the back will collide the next moment, but there will never be any collision, and the war horses in those film and television dramas They are always sparse, even if they are acting as a mighty and invincible army. Horses are not familiar with each other, so they are not in sync at all, and they dare not get too close.

And what's very interesting is that when a group of war horses get used to someone being the leader, the horses under them will automatically become the champions, and even if the other horses run, they will not surpass the champions...

Therefore, the guy at the front of that group of horses must be at least an important role among this group of horse thieves!

And that guy was wearing a red and black cloak of the Han army!
Zhang Liao focused his eyes, raised his spear, and said, "Send me the order!"Stop and kill those who wear red cloaks ahead! 』
