Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3331 Small Path

Anyone can only call it "experience" if they have "experience". Some of these "experiences" may be pleasant and refreshing, but some may be extremely painful, and most of the "experiences" are relatively painful.

The soil you plant will produce the fruits you want. Even the best seeds will grow in saline soil. Shandong is a land of corruption, so people who work hard can't survive. So there are only two choices: live on your knees or die standing up.

Just like Chai Yu.

He also wanted to live while standing and eat his meal while standing, but his old friends told him that he couldn't eat it while standing and he could only enjoy it by kneeling down.

So……

Kneel?

The journey was staggering, and thanks to the care of his old friend, he did not have to follow the cart like the other craftsmen, but could sit on the cart and sway. He had the energy to think, asking himself thousands of times whether he should stand or kneel.

This is the benefit his old friend got by kneeling down...

He felt horrified when he reflected on it.

Kneeling is undoubtedly uncomfortable, but you can get food while kneeling.

While standing, some people were trying to persuade him, and some were kicking him on the knees...

He was indeed right.

He was indeed wrong.

His mistake was only pointing out that the craftsmen who cast the bells were not wrong and that there was nothing wrong with the bells and chimes they made, so he was indeed wrong.

  If Chai Yu had been able to understand this point at the time, he would not have been so persistent when Du Kui tried to shirk responsibility by saying that it was the craftsman's fault. But wouldn't that be the same as a person like Du Kui?

Kneel down...

My knees hurt!

Some people say that as long as there is a stutter, it’s fine!

But, for some reason, Chai Yu felt that the world shouldn't be like this, and couldn't be like this...

But when he stood up and spoke, no one listened to him or believed him. Even his close friends advised him, "Forget it, forget it..."

Then even the craftsmen were silent, as if the things Chai Yu said for the craftsmen were not for the craftsmen, but for someone else. In the end, all the voices naturally disappeared, leaving only the above voice.

Not everyone has the right to speak.

Chai Yu originally thought that he would have the right to speak after wearing the brocade robe and the crown, but in reality...

As the sun set, the convoy arrived at a Cao army post station.

The clerk in brocade clothes jumped off the car, and then, with a smile on his face, he led the Cao army that was in charge of the post station to pull the car.

Several Cao army soldiers walked around the baggage cart, pointing and talking, and even lifted the felt cloth, "What are you pulling?"

The craftsman in charge of transportation bent his head and smiled.

  Did Cao's soldiers have the right to inspect vehicle convoys? Yes, but that was for ordinary merchants. In principle, they were not qualified to inspect military baggage convoys like this one. Otherwise, if there was any problem with the transported goods, whose fault would it be?

But in Shandong, the word "principle" is something that people always talk about.

Chai Yu looked at the soldiers who were staggering and poking this car, overturning that car, and whether they were in charge of driving, guarding, using the cars, or even his old friend, the Jinyi clerk who was in charge of the entire convoy, they all seemed to be collectively blind, unable to see anything and knowing nothing. Suddenly, he realized that he was wrong in treating those kneeling people as the same as himself. The fact was that after these people got used to kneeling, they had become dogs.

Standing, high above, "Come and eat!"

Chai Yu suddenly burst into laughter. He understood, but he was even more confused. He laughed and cried at the same time.

The brocade-clad clerk smiled at the commander of Cao's army guarding the checkpoint and said, "It's okay. I just had some trouble at home. I feel confused... confused..."

The captain squeezed the purse in his hand. He didn't care whether Chai Yu was really crazy or just pretending to be ill. Anyway, the money in his hand was the real benefit that went into his own pocket!

"Have you checked? It's OK!" the sentry leader shouted.

The Cao army soldiers at the checkpoint also understood, responded with a chuckle, then withdrew their attacks and walked back.

"Okay, unload the cart over there! Take the mules and horses to wash..." The brocade-clad clerk gave instructions while walking over, "Brother Chai, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay..." Chai Yu smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's okay, I just figured it out, I figured it out!"

"Ah, haha! I understand! That's good!" The brocade-robed official was immediately delighted, "I was thinking that you have old and young people in your family, and you can figure it out, that's a good thing! Good thing! Haha, come on, let's have a drink tonight!"

Chai Yu originally wanted to say that drinking is not allowed during the transportation process, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

  Why bother?

So be it……

Kneel down.

After all, the family still needs to survive and eat.

But for some reason, Chai Yu looked at the setting sun over the distant mountains, his face twitched twice, and finally he put on a smile that looked like crying, "Ha, good... yes, it's really good..."

……

……

There were no roads in this world originally, but as more people walked on it, checkpoints appeared.

The original purpose of the checkpoint is of course safety, but after its establishment, safety often becomes a secondary issue.

Just like the two good brothers, purpose and means, they always love and hate each other. In the end, it is hard to say whether the purpose or the means is more important...

At least the current commander of Cao's army, after getting the money, no longer cared about what the transport team did or did not do.

After all, the purpose of setting up checkpoints is to punish...

Well, ahem, is it just for safety education and traffic regulation?

  Look at this road, how straight and smooth it is. Any queue of vehicles on this road will surely accidentally exceed the speed limit, right?

So once you exceed the speed limit, will there be danger and casualties?

  So in order to avoid these dangers, checkpoints are set up to impose penalties... Well, setting up checkpoints to educate the passing caravans or pedestrians, isn't it natural?

As for whether the danger has decreased or the casualties have been reduced after the education, or whether those being educated have truly understood the good intentions of the managers and have truly accepted the significance of the education, that is another matter.

At least at this moment, the commander of Cao's army at the outpost was very happy.

Of course, the commander of Cao's army was happy, but he would not give all the soldiers of Cao's army a generous gift. He was very kind and generous to take out two or three coins from his purse to give other soldiers a meal.

When ordinary Cao army soldiers see that their team leader is spending the whole day at this checkpoint, educating and guiding the passers-by and transport convoys, and is rewarded for his hard work with delicious food and drinks, will some of them start to wonder how they can change their poor living conditions?

So, there will always be someone who finds some way.

Among the Cao army soldiers at the checkpoint, there was a man who was walking unsteadily, looking back from time to time, and then taking advantage of most people not paying attention, he dived into the bushes on the side.

And in the bushes, there was already a figure squatting there.

Across the bushes, a soldier of Cao's army twisted his buttocks, lifted up his robes, and coughed twice.

"If you have anything to fart, do it now! I'm showing my butt here, and even my dick is bitten by mosquitoes..." A low voice came from the bushes, "What's in that caravan? Is it food and fodder again?"

"It's not food," the Cao army soldier responded in a low voice, "It doesn't smell like food, but rather some smell of saltpeter..."

"The smell of saltpeter?" the voice in the bushes repeated in a low voice, and then quickly said, "Got it..."

Soon, the sound of robes rubbing against each other was heard, and it was obvious that the figure was getting ready to get up and leave.

"Wait..." Cao's soldiers asked hurriedly, "Where's my reward?"

"You can't miss it. I also gave you a "little surprise". Just look for it later..."

"A little surprise?" The Cao army soldiers were suddenly delighted, and they quickly broke off the big strip, then pulled out two or three leaves from the bushes to wipe it, and then touched the original position of the man.

"Fuck!" Cao's soldiers cursed.

He touched the "little surprise" left by that person...

Of course, I also saw the money bag next to the "little surprise".

So the Cao army soldiers didn't care about anything else. They wiped their hands on the sand on the ground a few times, grabbed the purse, untied the rope, and saw the shining silver and copper coins in it. They immediately smiled.

  In this day and age, what can warm people's hearts more than money?

As long as you have money, let alone touching some "little surprises", even if you just eat it, there will be people who will eat it.

Make money, not shabby.

  When people in Shandong, whether in the Han Dynasty court or in the countryside, were all about money and everything was oriented towards money and economics, then as long as they could make money, what could not be sold?

……

……

Hedong.

The area occupied by Cao's army.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared from somewhere and came in groups.

They were holding weapons and marching in a disorderly manner.

Someone in the queue looked up at the tricolor flag above his head and couldn't help but grin, "Oh my god, is this thing even realistic?"

"Who cares if it looks like it or not! If I say it looks like it, then it looks like it!" The leader in the queue cursed, "Stand up straight, we are all the cavalry now! We are the cavalry, do you understand?! Show your strength!"

The soldiers in the queue responded in twos and threes.

"Damn it!" The commander drew out his sword with a clang, waving it, "Didn't you all eat? Show your strength!"

The Cao army soldiers in the queue were not afraid either, and said directly: "We really haven't had enough food!"

"Yes, yes!"

"How can you be energetic if you haven't eaten enough?"

"Fuck!" the commander swung his sword, "Rob these fools and you'll have food! Drinks! Money! Eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, whatever... well, you can eat and drink whatever you want! You have to hand over the rest!"

"Ohhhhhhhh!"

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered, and green light flashed in everyone's eyes. The queue suddenly became more imposing and majestic.

  Who can rob this place?

There are only livestock in captivity...

These gentry in Hedong.

Although the gentry in the Hedong Cao's army occupied area said that they were willing to follow the call of the Han Dynasty and the Prime Minister's advice to go to the free Shandong, it was easy to talk, but when it came to action, there were so many problems and difficulties. Anyway, if the Hussars really came, they couldn't just use knives without saying anything, right?

But what these Hedong gentry never expected was that the "Cavalry Army" actually came and showed their swords!

The "tricolor flag" was flying high, but if you were more careful, you would find that there was something wrong with the "tricolor flag" of this team. For example, the seams were really rough, and the colors of the three colors were not so pure, but at a glance, it seemed to be the same.

These Hedong gentry originally thought that as long as they stayed at home and didn't go out to cause trouble, there would be no disasters. However, they realized at this moment that they were wrong, really wrong.

Not causing trouble doesn’t mean everything will be alright!

Just because you don’t cause trouble, doesn’t mean others will be content!

But when the swords were raised, these Hedong gentry realized that they had no ability to resist at all.

Perhaps if they had not sent those honest villagers and farmhands away before, they would still have some resistance at the moment, but...

  In the past, when these Hedong gentry sent those ignorant, honest, and incompetent villagers and farmhands to Cao's army, they always felt that these villagers and farmhands were nothing more than weeds in the fields. They would grow again after a while after being cut, and they were so annoying that sending some people away might make the remaining untouchables behave better!

However, it was not until this time that these gentry discovered that the villagers and farmhands whom they despised, abandoned and forsaken were their real protectors, and they originally thought that their knowledge, scriptures, fame, money, etc. were nothing but rubbish in front of the swords!

Although these Hedong gentry had no idea how the troops with the tricolor flags had managed to get through Cao's defense line and invade them, this did not stop these guys with the tricolor flags from starting to kill without saying a word!

Although these Hedong gentry tried to communicate, tried to persuade with kind words, and said that they had contributed their "strength" to the Han Dynasty and Prime Minister Cao, and paid manpower, material resources and financial resources, no one listened to them, and no soldiers stopped them.

"Kill them! Loot them all!"

"Ahahaha! We are the Hussars!"

……

……

The Hedong gentry welcomed their "little surprise".

It's just that no one will like it.

I don’t know if it was accidental or not, but the news that the “Cavalry Army” burned, killed and looted a local squire in Hedong was quickly spread to other places.

  At first, some people did not believe it, because after all, there were still many Cao troops in the surrounding area, and the official roads were also full of Cao troops. Although they had heard about the atrocities of some cavalry troops in the Zhongtiao Mountains area before, it was after all in Zhongtiao Mountains and near Pubanjin. It was still very safe near Anyi, Yixian and Pixian!

But how come the "Hussars" are appearing here now?

What is Cao’s army doing?

What are all these people doing in Cao’s army camp in Anyi?

After the little surprise, these Hedong gentry were naturally very frightened.

The Hedong gentry, who thought that they could stay out of the matter and at most lose some untouchables and floating wealth, suddenly panicked and found Cao's army, hoping to get their protection, but were politely but coldly rejected.

The Cao Army Academy stated that now was the most critical moment in the battle with the Hussars, and there were no extra troops to protect them. They also suggested that they follow the Prime Minister's wishes and move to a "safe area" as soon as possible to enjoy the true freedom of the Han Dynasty, breathe fresh air, and the sweet sunshine and rain.

Moreover, Cao Jun’s military academy said that all the things were just one-sided statements from the gentry in Hedong. The specific situation still needs further investigation to determine whether it was the “Hussars” or just ordinary bandits or something…

Investigate, research, and follow procedures.

This made the Hedong gentry, who were used to taking the green channel and enjoying convenient services on weekdays, suddenly anxious.

A group of Hedong gentry gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Fellow villagers, what should we do? What should we do now?"

"Do we really have to risk our lives here?"

"It's not worth it! It's not worth it!"

"What should I do?"

"I think we should all leave. These people are desperate criminals. We should not lose our lives here."

"That's right, let's go. It's better to lose face than lose your life." 』

"We are both right. We were all forced to do this! Damn it, God!"

Crying and cursing.

Some were anxious, some were worried, some felt like the sky was about to fall, but not a single Hedong gentry thought of or mentioned the villagers and farmhands whom he had previously abandoned, discarded, and despised.

Those who originally supported them, trusted them, and even spoke up for them and stopped the carriage of the General of Cavalry for them...

So, they found that they originally thought there was a way to go, but now suddenly they found that there was no way.

At least there is no proper way out, so some people are looking for other ways out...

No matter what the way was, as long as they could get away from the current dangerous situation, these Hedong gentry burst out with enthusiasm they had never had before.

"Brother Li! I am honored to meet you... I heard from others that Brother Li has a solution..."

"Are you kidding? No, no! Where did that come from?"

"Oh, Brother Li, don't you believe me? I am sincere and want to find a way..."

A lot of pulling and tugging, hooking and sticking.

"If it weren't for someone else... I'm telling you, there really is a little trick..."
