Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2919 Huge Rat, Huge Rat, I Can’t Eat My Millet

People are very strange creatures. When they gather together, they often lose their individual rationality, leaving only group behavior. This may be because human beings were used to living in groups in ancient times, and there was no written language in that time. Even in the age when there was no language, a slightly unsocial behavior might be directly chopped up by other people, chopped into pieces of meat and cooked into food.

Inside and outside Xihai City, Tai Shici's soldiers deliberately deployed an array.

The remaining people in the street looked with some panic, but when they saw a group of people with bald heads or braids, they were escorted by the Han army. At that time, his courage suddenly grew, and he rushed forward, yelling at these people and throwing clods and stones.

Then the mood of these people, I don’t know why, it’s much better...

Tai Shici's methods were very direct. He didn't issue any notices, and he didn't broadcast any slogans throughout the city. He didn't even say a word. He just dragged some prisoners and wandered around the city.

With such a simple action, together with Taishici's flag being planted on the top of the city, and the soldiers standing on the city wall street, the commotion in the city and the situation in Lifang immediately subsided.

The people in the city resumed their original activities, but the streets were in a mess, ruined walls, burnt and damaged utensils, and stained with blood. It seemed that they were still talking about something, but no one listened.

At this moment, Tai Shici was furious at Liu Min, the action team leader of the Youwen Division in the city, because Liu Min discovered Guan Er's actions, but did not stop them.

No one likes Uwenji.

Even Youwensi's own people know this, but in many cases, a city or a country cannot do without Youwensi if it wants to be stable.

Tai Shici also knew this, so he didn't ask in detail why You Wensi discovered the anomaly of Guan Er at the beginning, but he didn't choose to report it, but waited until Tai Shici... that's not right, he waited until the Hussar General After confirming that he was going to Xihai City, he showed his whereabouts and came to report the matter.

Of course, the superficial reason is that Tai Shici played the banner of the Western Regions Protector, so You Wensi will work under the new Western Regions Protector in the future, so he has to come to see his boss, and there is another deep-seated reason... …

Tai Shici didn't want to ask, and of course Liu Min, who has heard about it, wouldn't say either.

Human nature has never been clearly explained.

"Since the two are related in the city," Tai Shici stared at Liu Min of Youwen Division, with a low voice, "it must be related to the third!"Li Si!Can you do it if you have a knowledge department? !A certain person doesn't want to fight outside the city, but the city is on fire! 』

Liu Min smiled wryly and said, "I have just arrived in the Western Regions not long ago... I only discovered this pass two recently, and I was thinking about fishing with a long line..."

"Now the result is that the fish escaped. Tai Shici interrupted Liu Min, "I don't want to hear any excuses and explanations, so I ask you what to do now!" 』

Liu Min replied: "Qi reported to the guard that when I followed Guan Er before I left, I found two suspicious places. One was a calligraphy and painting stall diagonally opposite Guan Er's original residence. He helped people write letters, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall When I write, I look around more often...the other place is a steamed stuffed bun shop, or a place for delivering news...Dare to ask the governor, do you want to arrest the people from these two places? 』

Tai Shici narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Didn't someone just say that?"I'm asking you what to do!Up to now, I still hide it, because I think a certain knife is not good? 』

Liu Min bowed his head, "I dare not!"What I mean is that the calligraphy and painting stall can be done first... As for the bun shop, it is better to keep an eye on it first, and it is better not to do it for the time being... The new arrival of the guardian, according to the usual practice, is of course to appease the hearts of the people, which will make these people more or less People relax...」

Xihai City, under Lu Bu's governance, has almost become like a sieve, with eye holes everywhere, and it can't be compared with the aunt district of later generations...

Conspiracy, spies, spies.

This is almost any dynasty, ancient and modern, all over the world.

Even if it was not in the original castle, a wooden horse should be created and sent in.

When Lu Bu suddenly rose up in Xihai City and attracted everyone from the Western Regions, did he just attract good people?
If it hadn't been for Zhang Liao's two migrations of the Xihai people, which disrupted the relationship and arrangements among these people, there would have been problems long ago.If Tai Shici wanted to accept the Protector of the Western Regions, the first thing he had to do was to face the mess left by Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao mainly considered the soldiers in the army, but Tai Shici had to consider even more...

Tai Shici was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Keep an eye on these two places!"But there is a deadline!The lord is coming, if there is someone wrongdoing in Xihai... I will cut off your head first! 』

"only!Let the city be clean when the hussars are determined to come! Liu Min kowtowed and said, "Please also protect the commander's flag. If you need it urgently, you can dispatch troops and horses!" 』

Tai Shici took a command flag from the side of the table and threw it in front of Liu Min, saying, "There will be a result within three days!" 』

...(*`ェ*)...

In Xihai City, not everyone can read and write. The Western Regions are too far away from Guanzhong. Many Guanzhong people who come to the Western Regions will inevitably think of their hometown and people in the courtyard in the Gobi desert, so the calligraphy and painting stalls have business.

If there are no such calligraphy and painting stalls, if you want to send a letter to your family, and you can't read, maybe you can only draw amulets.It’s okay if the family members guess right, but if they guess wrong...

For example, when drawing two people, the original meaning might be to miss the wife at home, but the wife cried when she saw it, indicating that this letter is to "break up"!
Because the claws of the two matchsticks drawn are not hooked together.

With definite text, such problems are obviously less likely to occur.

It's just that in the past few days, there is no business at the calligraphy and painting stalls.

In the midst of chaos, who cares about writing letters?

After Tai Shici came, seeing the soldiers guarding the upper and lower walls of Xihai City, the talents in Xihai City gradually settled down, and there was no longer such a strict curfew. People took to the streets for activities, and the calligraphy and painting stalls were set up again.

Not long after the stall was set up, business came to the door.

A person walked over with a smile on his face, and even nodded his head to greet people he didn't know. He looked very kind, but after sitting down, his face became gloomy. cold. "What happened to Guan Er?Didn't you say yes, don't expose it? ! 』

The owner of the calligraphy and painting booth took the pen and paper, pretended to rub the ink, and scanned the surrounding area, "How do I know?"Maybe he was scared and ran away.I only found out after he ran away. 』

"Then what use is it to you? ! 』The man's eyelids stood up, and there was a fierceness in the triangular eyes.

The owner of the painting and calligraphy stall put down his pen, "The surname is Yang, you are the one who wants to use me, not the man who is begging you!" 』

The eyes of the two people intertwined. Although their faces were different, their eyes were equally fierce.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall was worried and frightened every day, and was already on the verge of a collapse of pressure. Seeing this Yang Kan threatened at this time, he naturally felt an unknown anger in his heart.

Yang Kan sneered, stretched his head forward, and slashed his neck with the palm of his hand, "Come on, you report it, first let Huqi's knife cut me, and then I will definitely die in Huangquan." Wait, wait to see your wife and children die without a place to die! 』

"..." The calligraphy and painting stall owner was silent for a moment, then rolled his eyelids, "This is the second time you have threatened me with your family. 』

Yang Kan chuckled, and there was a cruel taste in the smile, "Don't worry, there won't be a third time." 』

Both of them squinted their eyes, and after looking at each other for a while, they turned their heads away and scanned the surroundings.

The calligraphy and painting stall owner whispered, "What are you going to do?" 』

Yang Kan left a sentence coldly: "Inquire about the time when Huqi will arrive in Xihai, as well as the daily arrangements. 』

The owner of the painting and calligraphy stall also sneered, "You think I can find out what I want? 』

"That's your business. Yang Kan stood up, "What did you find out, and what price." 』

After speaking, Yang Kan left.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall was silent for a long time, and then other people came and asked him to write letters and go home. It was not until the afternoon, when the evening was approaching, that the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall slowly closed the cloth stall and gathered it into a burden. Putting it on my back, I went home slowly.

It is not so easy to create Xihai City from scratch.

Li Ru sits in it, on the surface, the wind is calm, but in fact, his hands are very dark. When Lu Bu is in charge, on the surface, he is very cruel, but everyone knows that as long as you give money, you will be fine, so from that time, Xihai City began. Rotten.

And the area of ​​the Western Regions is somewhat similar to that of Jiaozhi, and it is also a place where "heroes" from all walks of life have been exiled for many years.

How many of these people who are excluded by the big man will think about the goodness of the big man in their hearts?
The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall is such a person. Since he can remember, the big man has never given him anything. He is the same as Guan Er. Everything he owns, including his youth, has nothing to do with the big man.Now someone suddenly popped up and said frivolously that your ancestors were Han people, so you are also Han people now, and then you can expect the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall to have a sense of belonging to the Han people?

Do you really think that someone who has a Chinese face, wears Chinese clothes, and speaks a Chinese language must be a Chinese?
The calligraphy and painting stall owner sighed silently as he walked home.

He doesn't recognize the big man, but he found that as long as he brags about some good things about the big man in front of other Han people, and then despises the disadvantages of some Western Region states, those simple big Han people will accept him and express That's it, so everyone laughed together like good friends.

Of course, if you study in a certain country like later generations, you can spend tens of thousands of scholarships in vain every year, and you can live in a dormitory for foreign students with unlimited electricity. I can laugh, and at the same time, when a girl from a certain country sees it, she wants to come up and pester her to add a communication number. Every night, she goes home with a different girl and has a party all night playing multiplayer sports. Some fans spontaneously knelt down on the ground to lick it. No matter what they do when they go out, they can avoid queuing. They can also yell at people from a certain country to get out of a certain country. When Ding Ding was injured, so many medical experts rushed to take care of him...

In this way, there will definitely be people who love this country so much, from the bottom of their hearts, with tears streaming down their cheeks, and love that everyone, big or small, is super excited about.

None of the calligraphy and painting stall owners felt such treatment, so how could he, who grew up in the Western Regions, love big men?
Do you love with a hammer?
But when he thought of his father holding his hand when he was dying, and speaking somewhat incoherently about the things that should be returned to the roots no matter what, he was sad and confused. When a country treats its citizens as rubbish Throw it away as far away, why does this rubbish still miss this country?
"Yeah, I'm back. 』The calligrapher and painter habitually wore a smile, and greeted the surrounding neighbors kindly. He also habitually kept an eye on his surroundings and found nothing unusual.

He even regretted that he did not escape from Xihai City with Guan Er. He felt that Xihai City was like a prison, a cage, which locked his body and suppressed his thoughts. He really wanted to return to the Western Regions. In the desert and grassland, at least in those places, he would not be threatened by Yang Kai.

At the door of the house, the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall took a long breath, calmed down his anxious mood, looked around, opened the door, and walked in.The doors are not locked. On the one hand, the locks are not cheap. On the other hand, some poor people will even stare at the houses with locks, go over the wall and steal, because having a lock means that there is something that needs to be locked. ...

The owner of the painting and calligraphy stall closed the door with his hands back, and then bolted the door. He let out a sigh of relief, and relaxed his whole body. He lowered his head and moved forward, then pushed open the door. stop.

There were three men in soap clothes standing in the room, and Liu Min was sitting on an earthen bed by the window.

Liu Min didn't even look at him, but was holding a small knife, digging the black mud under his nails.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall turned his head slightly to look at the two sides, and the two men in black were already approaching, one left and one right.

He raised his head and sighed, and the burden in his hand fell to the ground.

……(〒︿〒)……

Not long after Tai Shici arrived in Xihai City with the vanguard, Han Guo returned to Xihai City with his damaged troops.

Seeing Taishi Ci's flag fluttering over the city, Han Guo hurriedly came to see Taishi Ci regardless of the dust and dirt all over his body, but Taishi Ci's first words were not to accuse him of neglecting his duty, or how much he suffered in battle, but rather He said, "Is this Zhang Wenyuan's idea, or yours?"Are you afraid that I will take away the military power of the two of you? 』

"This..." Han Guo forced a smile, "General Taishi spoke too seriously. 』

Tai Shici nodded and said: "That is, you want to make more military achievements before the lord arrives?"Why?Is it what you want, or is there some other reason? 』

Han Guo stopped talking.

"Then do you know that when you leave like this, Xihai City will be in chaos?" ’ Tai Shici asked again.

Han Guo was silent for a long time, reached out and took out the bronze seal on his waist, put it in front of him, kowtowed and said: "I am guilty of this crime." 』

Tai Shici looked at Han Guo and fell silent.

Zhang Liao and Han passed two people, but they had actually discussed it.

Zhang Liao can guarantee that he will not be a bureaucrat and will not engage in formalities, but Zhang Liao has no way to confirm whether Taishici will do it. If he miscalculates, it is like Zhang Liao originally thought that he would be able to persuade Lu Bu to change his ways by coming here, but the result was in vain. , it is very troublesome.So Zhang Liao guessed that at about the same time, he took his troops to rescue the army, and then Tai Shici came to fill the vacancy. Although there was a slight gap in the middle, Zhang Liao was in front and Tai Shici was behind. It was normal. It won't be much of a problem.

It turned out that something went wrong.

Plans never catch up with change, that's all.

Xihai City is like a crossroads. Although it can be easily controlled up, down, left, and right, it also allows some people to escape in four directions.The guys who escaped this time, according to the report from the scouts, went south.

"Xihai City is already rotten. Tai Shici said slowly, "Officials, big and small, in Xihai should be killed!" 』

Han Guo raised his head, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Is it you, or General Wen Yuan, do you think there are still some people who can be saved?" Tai Shici looked at Han Guo's expression and asked, "Look, this is what those people who you think can be saved have done!" 』

Tai Shici said in a deep voice, "General Wen Yuan and you gave them a chance, but do they care about this chance?"You think there may be grievances in it, but in the current situation of the Four Seas City, which official can be completely irresponsible? 』

Perhaps at the beginning, these officials in the Western Regions did not want to be corrupt, but also wanted to make a career, but when they saw the corpses above, they became greedy, and then insisted that the upright and innocent people were either killed or killed. If they were expelled, the remaining officials would naturally become the same people.

Over time, it became a habit. Even if Zhang Liao came and killed a group of people, it was still impossible to get a complete change. He might even breathe a sigh of relief behind his back. I was lucky enough to escape the guilt, escaped the storm, and now I can feel at ease.

repent?

nonexistent.

Creatures like officials have never had the word "regret", whether it is regret or repentance, it does not exist.

I didn't see that it was only when I was caught that I cried bitterly. Before I was caught, I was always sanctimonious?
"Forget it... the lord stopped me when someone wanted to kill Wei Xu... maybe you and General Wenyuan were right to do so... the specific merits and demerits will be discussed after the lord comes... Now, let's do it first." live! 』 Tai Shici waved his hand and told Han Guo to put away the copper seal.

"My lord has an order, and I also made a promise in front of my lord. One is to regard the people of Xihai as the people of the country, to set the law of expelling villages, and to strengthen the country; Thirdly, if someone is corrupt and lazy, and fulfills his selfish desires, he will bind himself under the lord's command and apologize with death! ”Tai Shici pointed to the position on the entrance hall, “Han Zong, for these three items, you can ask a craftsman to carve them into plaques and hang them on them so as not to forget…”

Han Guo responded.

Tai Shici suddenly smiled, "As my lord said, don't punish without teaching!"Then let them know right now... When you get to Huangquan Road, you have to die to understand!Tell them that if they surrender within three days, their crimes can be mitigated! 』
