Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 365 A different world
Seeing Zhang Sui nod, Yuan Tan excitedly put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you to a place!"

“Definitely a good place.”

"If you hadn't come, I would have thought of a way to use this place as a bridge to attack Ju County."

Zhang Sui's personal guards were about to follow.

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "Only my brother-in-law and I can go to this place."

Then he said to Zhang Sui, "Take off your armor and have someone bring you some ordinary clothes."

Zhang Sui signaled several guards to do so.

Zhang Sui took off his armor first.

While helping Zhang Sui take it off, Yuan Tan said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will trick you from behind?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "You are my elder brother, Mi'er's elder brother. I don't even trust my own family, so who can I trust?"

"Brother, you know that I have no father or mother, only a master, Mr. Tian."

"I actually always wanted to treat my father-in-law as my own father."

"pity--"

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, Yuan Tan also sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so sensible and capable. Father is really getting old and confused."

Zhang Sui said: "How should I put it? Actually, I don't blame my father-in-law."

"My father-in-law did a lot of great things in the first half of his life."

“It’s normal for people to lose their consideration when they get older.”

"Brother, look at the Emperor of Qin, King Wuling of Zhao, and Duke Huan of Qi. Didn't they all make many mistakes when they got old?"

"When the Qin Emperor grew old, he made great use of Li Si and Zhao Gao."

"King Wuling of Zhao and Duke Huan of Qi starved to death."

"If they were younger, none of this would be a problem."

"I can only say that people should know themselves and step down in time when they are old, so that wise descendants like you can take over."

Yuan Tan helped Zhang Sui take off his armor, then he reached out and touched Zhang Sui's head, and said with some emotion: "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that you, who was born as a servant, really have such insights. No wonder the former Bingzhou Governor Ding Gong valued you and passed all his books to you."

"It's just a pity that Lord Ding was stabbed in the back by Lu Bu and lost his life."

"This time we went to Xuzhou and killed Lu Bu. My brother-in-law can be regarded as revenge for Lord Ding."

After helping Zhang Sui take off his armor, Yuan Tan also took off his own.

The personal guards brought two sets of tight-fitting short coats.

Zhang Sui and Yuan Tan got dressed and asked their personal guards to take the armor and all the weapons back to the camp. Then, under the leadership of Yuan Tan, they headed towards the dense forest on the east side.

This dense forest is on a high mountain, with cliffs below, making it difficult to walk.

However, you can always see the city walls of Ju County and the military camps outside the city.

Not long after walking, I heard noisy voices.

Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Tan in surprise and asked, "Where did the voice come from?"

Yuan Tan pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "There is an open space just ahead."

"I have been attacking Ju County for a long time, but the city gates won't open, so the people can't get out."

“And people outside Ju County can’t get in either.”

"These people are very slippery."

"Once the siege lasts for more than ten days, some people will take risks and try to find a way out of the city. They will open up a stretch of land between the besiegers and defenders, and only hundreds or even dozens of people will trade during this period."

“The number of people won’t be too large to avoid causing major problems.”

"Before, my father had a subordinate named Zang Hong. My father took me to the siege city, and this kind of thing happened."

"I went looking for it this time and found this place."

"The things they traded were not very valuable, just cloth and food."

“People outside the city provide food, and people inside the city provide cloth.”

"And salt and stuff like that."

"It's just that the price is much higher than usual."

Yuan Tan led Zhang Sui towards the crowd and said, "It's not so bad here, it's just civilians at the moment." "When we besieged Zang Hong before, all the people doing the trading were soldiers from both sides."

"On ordinary days, everyone attacks the city and wants to kill each other."

"But in a place like this, everyone is so friendly."

"You would never imagine that over time, bold people would even open a shop in such a place."

"I once asked my father why he didn't send an army to eradicate this kind of place?"

"My father told me that since ancient times, whenever a city was besieged, a leniency had to be given."

"You can't blame the soldiers who dare to come to these places. They fight for you and you can't cut off their only joy in the army."

"Sieges are long and boring, and many soldiers will go crazy."

"It's just like you, my brother-in-law, came from the Zhen family. You should have experienced this. Every year, the Zhen family's main family would specially distribute some silk and other things to the soldiers, just to let them go to the brothels to vent. It's the same principle."

"If you want your soldiers and followers to be loyal, then at least you can't oppress their only qualification as human beings."

"As for ordinary people, it's even more so."

"The common people who can come to this kind of place are all loyal warriors from various families. They value money more than their lives and just want to take the opportunity to make some windfall."

"If you block this kind of place, not only will the families in the city hate you, but the families outside the city may also stab you in the back."

"People live in this world only for power, sex and money."

"The wages of avarice is death."

"Eternal."

Zhang Sui nodded in agreement.

Before traveling through time, he loved watching various historical trivia on short videos. He remembered that someone had popularized the "Fortress Besieged", which made her feel incredible.

He always felt that besieging a city meant not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and letting the people in the city starve to death or die of thirst, eventually leading to a morale breakdown.

After listening to the popular science, he realized that even in a siege, the wealthy families in the city would not be completely out of food.

Of course, ordinary people have no choice.

Of course, people like Cao Cao are an exception.

Cao Cao liked to massacre people in the city, and he might not even let go of the noble families in the city.

This time, we didn't walk for long before we saw a cave in front of a narrow road in the dense forest.

Several ragged figures stood at the entrance of the cave.

None of them wore any weapons.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming, the figures looked over vigilantly.

They shouted something from inside the cave, and four figures came quickly over with weapons in hand.

Yuan Tan signaled Zhang Sui not to panic, and he stepped forward himself with his hands raised.

Four figures groped his body and let him pass.

Yuan Tan said: "These are the death squads provided by the two families to prevent anyone from bringing weapons to disrupt the transaction."

Zhang Sui also raised his hand like Yuan Tan.

After the four figures finished checking, they let Zhang Sui go.

Zhang Sui followed Yuan Tan into the cave.

The cave is quite big, about ten or so square meters.

There were dozens of people standing inside.

Some were carrying silk and other cloth, while others were carrying rice.

Some people brought nothing.

Suddenly, Zhang Sui's elbow collided with someone.

After the figure was hit, he ignored it and just wanted to leave.

After all, the space in the cave is too small and there are too many people.

However, she discovered that the man who bumped into her was actually looking down at her chest!
