Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2883 Desert, where to go
Xia Houshang was a little bit angry.

So those who knew him didn't dare to disturb him late at night when he was sleeping soundly.

Can the escape of Xiahou Zijiang be regarded as a particularly urgent military matter, and must Xiahoushang be awakened from his dream?
Cao Cao has a tradition of killing people in his dreams, and of course the people below have followed suit. Anyway, if everyone is great, let’s kill people in their dreams together!It's like the glasses and water cups of later generations. It's a tradition to look up to the commander-in-chief!
Therefore, when Xia Houshang got up in the morning and received the news, his expression changed, and he became more ferocious.

"Where is that kid now?Why didn't you stop it? ! 』

The three or four military academies under him all lowered their heads.

Who dares to stop this?

As soon as they stopped, Xiahou Zijiang would definitely make a move without hesitation, so should they lie down and admit kicking, or turn around and run?

If you lie down and admit to being kicked, if Xiahou Zijiang's people can't hold back, those guys will apologize and spend some money to issue a letter of understanding?
Turn around and run away, maybe it will be considered dereliction of duty, and even the officials will be slapped?
As for fighting back, it's even more impossible. If it doesn't work out, it will be judged as a fight. Who will suffer then?
In fact, if you look at the laws of Qin and the laws of Han, subtle differences have already emerged.

There is a saying in the Book of Changes: "If you attack Mongolia, you will not benefit from the bandits, but you will benefit from the bandits." 』It’s talking about brave deeds. During the Qin Dynasty, definite rewards were given for brave deeds. For example, those who turn the thief to the government on the spot will get all the money on the thief; those who arrest the fugitive will get corresponding monetary rewards Wait, and so on, and the Qin Dynasty also stipulated the law on how to deal with acts of righteousness and innocence. 』

In the Han Dynasty, the scope was greatly reduced, from "Hundred Steps" to "Five Neighborhoods".

In the later feudal dynasties, it was further narrowed, and even changed from the same crime to "reduced" corporal punishment, and then the scope was further reduced, and it became "knowledge but not rescue", and the only one who bears the responsibility.

In feudal dynasties, the power of local officials to catch up with yamen servants was small, so in many cases, officials from the government came out to clean up the land after the crimes had been committed. With the reverse increase of government personnel, there are more and more people who just eat and don't work. Naturally, they feel that the people are not easy to manage, and they don't like the people to use violence to confront them.

Throughout the evolution of the feudal dynasty, the standard of civil valor for the common people was gradually reduced, the scope was also gradually reduced, and the restrictions were strengthened step by step, which actually showed that the feudal dynasty was further oppressing from all aspects. The people, especially these changes in the law also reveal that the ruler hopes that the people will not resist as much as possible when facing evil deeds. Only know how to escape and non-resistance.

Even in feudal dynasties, the victims in turn had to apologize and kowtow to the powerful perpetrators to apologize and confess their guilt. The purpose was to teach the rest of the people to see if they dared to resist next time!

So when Xiahou Zijiang used violence, who would dare to move?

Xia Houshang looked at these military schools, and he understood what was going on in his heart, so he said angrily: "This is really a child's nonsense!" 』

All the military academies lowered their heads, their brows and eyes moved secretly, and they couldn't help but rejoice. As expected, it was fortunate that they didn't stop them.

Resisting orders in the army, opening the gate of the camp privately, going out without orders, and taking the crowd away, no matter which one it is, it is a capital offense!

But in Xia Houshang's mouth, it turned into "children's nonsense"!
If this is really going up to stop it, wouldn't it be reduced to being caressing like "children"?
Xia Houshang's anger rose, he turned his head, looked at the three or four military schools with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Children are impulsive!"You are also fooling around!This is the son of General Xiahou!If something goes wrong, how can I explain to the general! 』

All the military academies lowered their heads together, not daring to say anything.It’s really a sentence that Tangerine Maipi doesn’t know whether to be a paddle or not, okay, this time it has changed from "children" to "confession" again!

Seriously, if you want to govern the country according to the law, then it doesn't matter whether you are a general or an ordinary person. If you break the law, you are breaking the law.What's more, this is not a general, but the general's child!As a result, Xiahou Zijiang obviously made a mistake and violated the military law, but it turned into how to explain to General Xiahou Dun!

But from the perspective of the feudal dynasty, there is nothing wrong with doing so.After all, under class rule, the upper echelons of the feudal dynasty did enjoy various privileges, and naturally they could not share the same law with the so-called ordinary people, let alone just violating military laws, even if they were suspected of some heinous felony. In the feudal dynasties, it can still be classified as "temporary chaos" or "ignorant", and then the big things are turned into small things.

Xiahoushang was still angry, "General Xiahou handed over the child to us personally!"As a result, you just watched and did nothing? !Um? !If something happened to Xiahou Zijiang, would you all be desperate? ! 』

Hearing this, all the military academies were about to cry!

This……

This is too unreasonable!

But the feudal dynasty is so unreasonable!Can reasoning still be called a feudal dynasty?

Xia Houshang's remarks, which were obviously intended to throw the pot away, immediately made all the military academies unable to hold back. If Xiahoushang continues to talk like this, it is impossible to say when Xiahou Zijiang will have no problems at all, and all the rest are these Military Academy's fault!

Take a look!

Force a good child like this!

All good children are depressed!
The child is fine at home, why is it like this in Youbei? !

So-and-so.

Xia Houshang's extremely cold and stern tone made all the military academies start to distinguish one after another, and they didn't want to take the blame.

"This is Mr. Shaolang. He said that it has something to do with Xiahou's family's face and future plans. He also said that Xiahou should not lose face by staying behind... That's why he didn't stop Mr. Shaolang..."

"Mr. Shaolang also brought his people with him, and they are all warriors of Xiahou's family. Even if they can't achieve any military exploits, self-protection should be fine...so we thought so, and came here to report..."

"If the general thinks something is wrong, please issue a general order. We will order soldiers and horses to go out to meet Mr. Shaolang..."

Xia Houshang couldn't calm down anymore, he turned around with his hands behind his back.

Xiahou Zizang is dead, if Xiahou Zijiang dies again, let's not talk about whose fault it is, let's put aside the facts, just say how sad General Xiahou Dun is?
General Xiahoudun fought on the battlefield with blood and sweat for the sake of the Han Dynasty and Prime Minister Cao.He, Xia Houshang, can be defeated, can do his own thing, and even imprisoned Xiahou Zijiang instead of General Xiahou Dun. This is all right, but the only thing is that he must ensure the safety of Xiahou Zijiang!
Now Xiahou Zijiang ran out, in case...

In his anxiety, Xia Houshang almost roared, "What face is Xiahou's family?If something really happened to Mr. Shaolang, it would be called losing face!This field training was originally just for Mr. Shaolang to experience it, so as to lay a foundation!As for military exploits and battle honors, how could he be missing after a hearty victory!And why bother to do it yourself?He really... This child has experienced too few setbacks! 』

"Although there are guards around him, what is that?" !It's not that I underestimated the martial prowess of Xiahou's disciples, but if I really ran into the army horse from the hussars... Even I need to be careful, let alone a half-assed guy like him? !If something goes wrong accidentally, how will you explain to General Xiahou then! 』

『Now if the troops are sent out of the camp, what will General Cao do?Not to mention where to find it!Everyone dispersed, there are so many supplies in this camp, if there is another mistake, you and I will lose our lives!General Cao's surname is not Xiahou... No!General Cao speaks of military law! 』

Xia Houshang roared angrily and danced with his hands and feet, apparently in a state of confusion, and his words and deeds were out of order.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, it's really a dilemma.

All the military academies looked at each other, but fell to their knees helplessly, claiming to be guilty.How can I say this, if I continue to argue, won't I be suspected of contradicting my boss?Besides, they really have no good way to solve this problem.

"Damn it!Where did this kid go? 』

...(*≧∪≦)...

In the depths of the desert, this piece of land has been shrouded in the shadow of war and soaked in blood since the day recorded in the history books.

From the early Bei Rong, then became the Xiongnu, to the later Xianbei and Wuhuan, and then to the later Turkic, Rouran, Uighur, Xi, Khitan, Jurchen, etc...

It is hard to say whether these successively rising desert nations have their own evolutionary path of development, growth, aging and perdition, or whether they have passed on the light of civilization between successive appearances, but one thing is certain, these desert nations Once the nations among them rise up, they will turn their wolf-like eyes to the Central Plains, peeking at the farming civilization of the Central Plains that makes them covetously.

And these are only the big tribes or tribal alliances whose names have been recorded in history, and in the long years, there are those who have not been recorded in the annals and were swept away by the great integration of ethnic groups on these grasslands. Small tribes and small nations.

Perhaps these people in the desert have all kinds of excuses and reasons for natural disasters and man-made disasters, but they are not like the farming peoples in the Central Plains, who have to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters by themselves, but they will show greed under these excuses and reasons face, riding a horse, raising a knife, going south, going south...

However, as history has proven countless times, bloody killings can never bring true surrender.

In the face of the butcher knives of these nomadic peoples in the grassland and desert, the farming people of the Central Plains Huaxia may be silent, and they may be tolerant, but they will never forget their hatred and struggle.From the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States period, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and continued to the subsequent feudal dynasties, these memories have been left in the history books. Even if these nomads tampered with it several times and burned the original manuscripts of the history books, the blood will not dissipate and the pain will disappear.

Now, the battle in the desert has just come to an end, and it is far from coming to an end.

Just like the beacon tower standing in front of Zhang Yun and a small military village, the temporary calm is just a temporary pause in the continuous war in the desert.

Or maybe a sign.

It's like a landmark.

A tentacle of the Hussar Northern Territory Army penetrated into the desert.

People who are impatient often fail to achieve great things.

Brash, reckless, and just do whatever they can. People with this kind of character were the thugs of the tribal leaders in ancient times, and these people were often the first to die. It is really not easy to be the fish that slipped through the net and pass on their DNA.

It's been a long time since Zhang Yun came here on his last cruise.

The military village is built with civil structures. Since wood is scarcer in the desert, it is actually soil, or soil cement, which has become its main component.

The rammed earth and earth cement layers of the outer walls seem to have fallen off and cracked under the attack of wind and frost, but there is still no major problem overall.

There is a team of troops stationed here all the year round.A team of 80, plus some miscellaneous soldiers, about [-] to [-] people.In the military village, there are command posts, barracks, warehouses, arsenals, wells, hay sheds and stables.

On the high platform of the military village, under the wooden canopy, there is a crossbow on the left and right.The huge crossbow bolts that are built together are slightly rusty because they have not been taken care of in time, as if they were stained with some old blood.

Zhang He stood on the high platform of the military village, silently watching.

Looking around, you can see everything in a radius of more than ten miles.

Except for a small hill here in Junzhai, the rest are desert grasslands.

The north wind drove the clouds, just like herdsmen driving sheep, moving slowly on the blue sky.

On the other side of Handi, it became a strip of blue and black as far as the eye can see.

An hour ago, Zhang Xi brought a team of men and horses to patrol here.

Every once in a while, he and Gan Feng will lead people to carry out inspections, and the inspection points are these military strongholds scattered in the desert.

In the past few days, Zhang Yun has passed through several military camps one after another, and this is the farthest military camp, and it is also the beginning of his preparation to return.Of course, the direction of going back is different from the direction of coming, which is equivalent to taking a big circle in the desert.

This time I came to patrol, the traffic condition of the road was better than last time.

Although it is said that in the desert, there is no need to build permanent hard roads, but during the last training in Changshan Camp, with the cooperation of soldiers and artisans accompanying the army, a general road network was also built.The biggest improvement is that some signs along the road have increased a lot, which makes it possible to reduce some time for finding roads and directions.

The desert seems to be changing little by little.

Zhang Xi stayed on the high platform for a while, then got off the high platform, went around the barracks of ordinary soldiers, checked the beds and bedding where the soldiers slept, and then returned to the command post in the military camp .

The team leaders in the army village have been silently following behind Zhang Yun.

The surname of this army team is Shi, and it is said that he was originally from Qingzhou.They fled during the turmoil in Qingzhou.Dui led a scar on his face, and half of the ring finger and little finger of his left hand were missing. It is said that they were froze and rotted on the road when he was fleeing.So he is also called Shi Bazhi.

Shi Bazhi felt that he was a hard-fated man. When he met the Yellow Turban Bandits, he had not been able to join the army at that time, but he fought with the armed Yellow Turban Bandits and was slashed on the face. Stabbed the yellow turban thief to death with a fork...

Shi Bazhi didn't follow until he reached the command post and said, "General, our place is remote and windy, and we don't have much good food. We only have some coarse grains, pickled vegetables, dried mushrooms, salted fish and so on. I hope the general will forgive me..." ...'

The command post was actually Shi Bazhi's residence. There was a table at the top, a broken mat underneath, and a broken screen in the middle, and his sleeping place behind.

It is bitterly cold in the desert, so a fire pit was set up in the middle of the command post's house.It can be used for heating, cooking, or boiling water.If it is called more elegantly, it can also be called night talk around the fire, but the structure of the houses in this era is not tight, mostly made of wood, with large gaps, so there is no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning, while the houses of later generations are different...

Zhang Yun didn't take it seriously, he didn't come here to fight the autumn wind, but he heard that there were only these things left in the army village, and there was no dried meat, so he couldn't help frowning, "This is the distribution of dried meat." Preserved salted meat, finished so soon?I remember the last delivery was just over a month ago? 』

Shi Bazhi bowed his head and said, "Don't dare to lie to the general, what are the distributions of meat for? I traded them for some lambs, and asked the shepherds in the north to help raise them... This jerky is eaten, but the lambs Raise them big, and they will be big sheep in winter, and you can also give birth to some lambs...』

Zhang He laughed and said, "You have calculated well!"But aren't you afraid that those shepherds will kidnap your sheep and run away? 』

When Zhang He was on the high platform before, he had already seen some herdsmen's tents in the distance to the north.There are not many tents, only five or six, and there are about 30 people in total.Originally, Zhang Yun thought they were sporadic herdsmen, but he didn't expect to be involved in this way with the military village.

Shi Bazhi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Isn't this...there are too many mouths waiting to eat in the military camp. If you really want to eat this dry meat, it will be finished in one meal. If it is replaced by lamb, When raised in winter, it will become a big sheep, and if one is killed, the whole army will be able to eat delicious food for three days!On the first day, they drank soup, soaked lamb haggis in pancakes, on the second day they ate some bone meat, served with mixed vegetables, and on the third day, each person could have a piece of meat... This year was a bit of a good time... These shepherds had a few years ago They have been here before, and they are familiar with them, and the pastures to the north of them have been damaged. If they want to run, where else can they go? 』

Zhang He pointed at Shi Bazhi, not knowing what to say...
