Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123 If there is no going north, then it can only be... Part [-]

Zhongping five years, September [-]th.

At the end of summer and early autumn, the hot temperature has disappeared, but the chill has not come. The cool and cool weather makes people feel drowsy and comfortable.

In Ruyang city.

In the hall of the county mansion, there is a boy sitting in the hall. The boy has two panda eyes. There are various blueprints in front of his desk, most of which are marching blueprints. He is holding a pen and drawing on them. Draw a picture.

"It was much more comfortable for me to deduce business strategy in the past. I had a computer to simulate it. Now, relying on a little bit of news that I don't know is true or false, and an unclear topographical map, I can deduce a war deployment. It's so nerve-wracking!"

Mujing stood up, relieved his stiff hands and feet, and said with a sigh.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. As a genius businessman in his last life, he also deployed countless strategies in advance in order to win a takeover battle, but that is different. There are many things that can be done by computers. Now, he can only rely on his head.

"Are you still thinking about it?" Zhang Ning came in with some breakfast, knelt down, and then brought out a bowl of porridge and a piece of meat pie in front of him, and said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." Already!"

"I feel uneasy!"

Mu Jing said: "I always thought I was a chess player, but in the end I felt that I was a chess piece. I am not reconciled, so I have to find out what I feel uneasy about!"

"Eat breakfast first!"

"Don't eat!"

Mu Jing put on his boots, took a cape, and said, "Let's go for a walk, it's too stuffy in here!"

"You really want to come out!"

Zhang Ning beckoned, asked the two soldiers to clean up the things on the table, and then followed Mu Jing's footsteps.

"Yesterday another army arrived!"

"I don't know where the soldiers are?"

"Looking at the serial number on the flag, it seems to be officers and soldiers!"

"It's best if it's not a bandit army!"

"Hey, my house was ransacked three times by those Yellow Turban bandits, even my elder brother was arrested and taken away!"

"Nowadays, there is no difference between officers and soldiers and bandits. We should be careful not to provoke them!"

"..."

The city had been ransacked several times by the Yellow Turban Army. Most of the people were uneasy about the entry of this strange army. Mu Jing walked through the streets and alleys, listening to their casual conversations, and began to think about some problems in his heart. .

"What are you thinking?" Zhang Ning asked.

Mu Jing walked on the street, looked at the bleak streets around, and replied, "I was thinking that the prosperity of a city takes time to build, and desolation is just a matter of war!"

Ruyang can be regarded as a large city in Runan County, with tens of thousands of households and a population of more than [-]. However, after being stationed by the Yellow Turban Army, it is no longer as prosperous as an ordinary small city, and there is an atmosphere of loneliness everywhere.

Many big households in the city were looted.

Many shops in the city are closed.

Under the brilliance of people's hearts, how can this city not be lonely.

"This is all the fault of the Yellow Turban Army!"

Zhang Ning wore a handsome white robe, his handsome face was a little gloomy, and his mood was hard to be depressed. He said to himself, "Did my father do something wrong?"

The Yellow Turban Army was a soldier built by his father. This army quickly formed an army and almost overthrew the Han Dynasty.

She has always been proud of his father's achievements, but looking at this scene, even though she is a little numb, she has to admit that the Yellow Turban Army has begun to deteriorate, and it is no longer the rebel army that his father gave high hopes to. , but an army of bandits.

There are clouds in the world, and the yellow scarves pass through the border, like locusts, not leaving a blade of grass.

She used to think that this was a sentence that could be spread by the court to suppress the reputation of the Yellow Turban, but now, she gradually recognized this sentence.

"The great virtuous teacher did nothing wrong!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and made a regular comment: "Where there is oppression, there must be resistance. The Han Dynasty has come to an end, and the people are miserable, so naturally they must resist. The great virtuous teacher just obeyed the destiny, even if there is no great virtuous teacher, There will also be a leader like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the past to lead those who are unwilling to succumb to fate to resist!"

"Then why couldn't father succeed!" Zhang Ning asked.

"Success is destiny, failure is destiny!"

Mu Jing said: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. He won the hearts of the people, but he didn't know how to maintain the support of the people. In the past, wherever the Yellow Turban passed, there were people who responded. Now the Yellow Turban passes through the border like locusts. That's the truth!"

"If my father is still alive, it would be great to hear what you said!" Zhang Ning smiled a little pale: "You may be more suitable to lead the Yellow Turban than him!"

"I want to be good, and my father is also good. In this troubled world, I just want to survive. Our own survival, and the survival of more of us!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

"I'm hungry!" Zhang Ning pouted, and Shi Shiran said, changing the topic.

"There's a shop over there, Ruyang Sweet Cake, I heard it's a must here, let's try it!" Mu Jing shrugged, pointing to a small shop across the street that opened but had few customers.

"Young Qu is handsome!"

Huo Shao led twenty personal guards to protect him. He looked at the yellow scarves around him, a little worried.

"You don't have to follow so closely, we are in control of this city now!" Mu Jing waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Huo Shao nodded, but still followed closely.

"Guest officer, do you want rice cakes?"

The boss was a thin man with a humble smile on his face. When he saw Mu Jing and Zhang Ning walking in, he rushed to meet him.

"I heard that your sweet rice cakes are a must in Ruyang City, come and try some!"

Mu Jing said with a smile.

"Okay!" The boss's ability to observe people's words was already good, but he didn't dare to neglect when he looked at the dozen or twenty soldiers in armor and holding big knives outside the shop.

"Huo Shao, I'm scaring the shopkeeper. It's not easy for him to start a small business. With you blocking him like this, is there anyone else coming? Get out!" Mu Jing said.

"Shaoqu Shuai..." Huo Shao looked around, the environment here is not very good, if there are enemies, the rescue will not be timely.

"go out!"

Mu Jing held the military power in his hand, and his voice was full of evil spirits. When he got angry, even Zhang Huo, a master like Zhang Huo, might be afraid.

Huo Shao had no choice but to back out, but his eyes were fixed on him, his ears were pricked up, ready to rush in whenever there was a problem.

"He is loyal to you!" Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Your ability to buy people's hearts is better than my father's!"

"Is it possible for me to buy people's hearts with such lowly behavior? This is my natural charisma!"

Mujing said narcissistically.

"Don't be ashamed!" Zhang Ning gave him a supercilious look, and the momentary amorous feelings made people quite fascinated.

"Cookies are here!"

The shady boss came up with the cookies. These cookies looked like circles. Although they were made of rice, they looked pretty good, but they didn't know how they tasted.

"Try it!"

Mujing handed one to Zhang Ning.

"Okay!" Zhang Ning was not polite, holding the biscuit in his slender hand, covered it with long sleeves, and took a bite of the snack: "The taste is very fresh, not greasy after eating, it tastes better than dim sum, and feels better than rice. It's a good thing !"

"It's delicious, we can settle down after that, I will definitely ask a pastry maker from Ruyang to make it for you!"

Mu Jing said casually.

"This is what you said, I remember!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ning raised his crooked eyebrows, which was really cute.

"Definitely!" Mu Jing said firmly.

About two quarters of an hour later, the two patted their stomachs.

"Treasurer, check out!"

Mu Jing took out the purse.

"This..." The boss came out tremblingly, and said, "No need, it's our luck that you two distinguished guests can visit our shop!"

He is a small business, so naturally he is not so arrogant, but they really can't afford to provoke these soldiers. A few days ago, a person in a restaurant in the city accidentally checked out and was beaten to death by a few prostitutes. There was a lot of trouble, but the garrison in the city didn't take it seriously at all, let it go, and die for nothing, so he was naturally afraid.

"Treasurer, don't be like this. We are not a bandit army. There is discipline in the army. We eat the food of the common people. If we don't give money, we will eat army sticks. Don't hurt me!"

Mujing could see the boss's thoughts at a glance, and he had some helplessness on his face, so he could only persuade him with a smile.

Some things are hard to get rid of once they form an influence.

"How much is a cookie?" Mujing asked forcefully before he could react.

"Eight coins for one!"

"We ate a few!"

"Six!"

"Here is one hundred coins!" Mu Jing took out a string of coins.

Five baht coins are strung with ropes, one thousand is consistent, and one hundred is a string. Ordinary consumption basically has nothing to do with gold cakes. This time it is the coin recognized by the people.

"It doesn't need to be so much!" The boss trembled, and hurriedly wanted to untie the rope and hand out five baht, and return the extra to Mujing.

"It's all yours!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "If you have more, I will reward you, but here is a question I want to ask you. If you know, you can answer me. If you don't know, it's okay!"

Maybe Mujing's attitude was so good that he dispelled the vigilance of many store owners, and he quickly said, "Excuse me, my lord!"

"Before this Ruyang city seemed to have a military force stationed there, do you know when they left Ruyang?"

Mu Jing, this is a question that suddenly sounded.

"It is true that a group of soldiers and horses have been stationed in Ruyang for several months, but they are not as easy to talk to as the soldiers and horses of your son. Those soldiers are always killing people and looting, and they have killed many big households in the city!"

The boss is actually a good talker, after Mu Jing dispelled his guard, he said: "It seems that they left Ruyang seven days ago!"

"Where do you leave?" Mu Jing asked hurriedly.

"Should it be the south of the city?"

"Chengnan? Are you sure?"

"It should be right, I went to see it, they did leave the city from the south of the city!" the boss said firmly.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Mu Jing took out a string of money again, handed it to the boss, and said, "If there is another chance in the future, we will definitely come to visit again!"

After speaking, he left with Zhang Ning.

"Benevolence!"

Looking at Mujing's back and holding the five baht coin in his hand, the boss sighed a little.

"What did you find?" After leaving the shop, Zhang Ning looked at Mu Jingyan's expression and asked in a low voice.

"Suddenly thought of a blind spot in thinking!"

As Mu Jing walked, he said, "We always believed that the strength of Huang Shao's Yellow Turban Army was in the northern part of Runan, so his enemy was the Yingchuan Army and the Xuzhou Army, but what if they weren't on the battlefield in the north?"

"There is no battlefield in the north?"

Zhang Ning frowned, thinking not very clearly: "Impossible, if their army didn't go north, then it could only be..."

In an instant, the expressions of both of them changed.
