Three Kingdoms Chapter 3557: A pair of suede boots

Chapter 3557 A pair of suede boots

Can a rain save the situation?

Obviously impossible.

And the things that emerged behind this matter were Cao Cao’s real purpose.

Zhao Yun is likely not to accept this so-called reward...

But this is exactly what Cao Cao wanted.

Of course, it would be even better if Zhao Yun accepted it.

The rain that had been held in for a long time was poured down, covering the world in darkness.

After the rain lasted for a day or two, the ground became muddy, and the public opinion in Xu County seemed to be equally disturbed by such a rain, and chaos became widespread.

I don’t know when it started, but the evaluation of Fei Qian began to polarize. Some people say it’s good, and some people say it’s bad.

I won’t mention the bad ones, it’s all the same thing, but among the people who say good things about the cavalry, a new worry has recently spread, offsetting the so-called merit of Fei Qian’s creation of books and words, that is, “dividing the land”!

According to rumors, if Fei Qian enters the Central Plains, he will implement the policy of "restoring the Zhou rituals and establishing vassal kings" to completely disintegrate the Han Dynasty...

The collapse of the Han Dynasty did not care too much about these gentry surnames, or they only cared about it verbally, but the need to restore the so-called "well-field system" like Wang Mang, or the "Xiongfield system" that was previously reported in Guanzhong, etc., was to make these Shandong gentry surnames, especially those with relatively large family businesses, realize that Fei Qian's threat to them far surpassed Cao Cao.

The gentry often has two sides. Fei Qian has a great potential, so he will naturally twist his waist towards Fei Qian. Cao Cao is strong and will immediately bow under Cao Cao's skirt. This philosophy of survival of aristocratic families in troubled times continued to the subsequent feudal dynasties.

Cao Cao accompanied Liu Xie to ask for rain on the altar, and really asked for rain. This invisibly meant that Cao Cao used the political symbol represented by Liu Xie to endorse his correctness. This eased the conflicts between some gentry and Cao Cao to a certain extent, especially the gentry in Yuzhou.

After all, the gentry of Yuzhou, represented by Xun, tended to be the royal family. Cao Cao showed that he was willing to stand behind the emperor with "respect" attitude, which made the children of Yingchuan gentry with Xun Yu as the core add a weight engraved with the word "Cao" on the swaying scale in his heart.

Subsequently, Emperor Liu Xie publicly awarded Zhao Yun official position and title on the grounds that Zhao Yun fought against the Xianbei, fought against the Wuhuan, and restored the Liao territory...

When the news came out, it was an uproar. Some people think this trick is useless, but some people start to think about it, but one thing is the same. After the news came out, at least the children of the gentry in Yuzhou began to calm down and more or less understood what Cao Cao meant.

This strategy of rebellion and centrifugality is not very profound, but it directly points to the darkest desire in people's hearts.

After Liu Ye went to Youzhou, he learned that Zhao Yun was firm and unshakable, but sometimes it was not that the person involved could avoid online violence by being firm in his mind... Oh, it was slandered by public opinion...

Zhao Yun did not take action before, but now Cao Cao's move is just a pool of mud on Zhao Yun's crotch.

Let Zhao Yun open the album and prove that there is no secret photo shoot!

Even if Zhao Yun opened the album, he still asked Zhao Yun to prove that he did not delete the photos secretly!

Even in the end, Zhao Yun proved that he did not take photos, there were still some people with one or another malicious intentions, saying that who told Zhao Yun to deliberately move forward if he had something to do or not? Wouldn't this be fine if you didn't get so close?

Those who have ulterior motives are present in both ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Cao Cao's simple strategy gave the elusive person an excuse to take advantage of the problem, just like giving the keyboard warrior a keyboard...

In addition, Cao Cao not only calculated Fei Qian and Zhao Yun, but also included Liu Xie in the plan.

What Cao Cao didn't want to see the most was that Fei Qian's army surrounded him from multiple directions, and then he would be stabbed in his butt, so Cao Cao really had no way to survive.

The winning or losing line is sometimes just one blood short.

…

…

However, things often do not operate peacefully according to human imagination, just like there is a naughty **** in the sky who likes to mess with human plans the most, and enjoy it.

Zang Ba’s plan also became chaotic.

The sudden heavy rain caused problems in their plan to attack the plains.

The old, weak, sick and disabled mixed troops, who had no combat effectiveness, were not very smooth when attacking the plains. As a result, the problem was exposed as soon as it rained...

The sound of fragmented gold sounds mixed in the rain curtain, like the sound of the ragged Dang in later generations. Then a group of Taishan soldiers who were also like ragged retreated, proclaiming another round of attack failure.

It is not easy to live up and down the plain city.

Under the low-high city wall, siege equipment and corpses were everywhere.

The corpse that was soaked white and the burned charred equipment seemed extremely contradictory and unified and harmonious.

Just as the flag of Cao's army was fired on the top of Pingyuan City, and Zang Bajun outside Pingyuan City also fired the flag of Cao's army.

These tools were used before it rained, but were burned by oil on the city.

Under the city wall, there are digging gaps everywhere.

The corpse near the gap is accompanied by rolling stones and wood, and it is also mixed in piles.

Another failure of the offensive.

Those who died were lying quietly in the mud and water, and some people were not dead yet, but were just wailing in the mud and water.

The screams accompanied by the rain, and the bones of the deceased were drilled into it, like a curse of a ghost.

It is also the same miserable as above the city. The corpses were stacked high above the stent, and blood flowed down the city wall. Even if the rain washed repeatedly, it seemed that it would never flow.

Hundreds of soldiers under Zang Ba's troops retreated all over their bodies, looking dejected, and they were completely depressed.

"Master, there is not much food or grass..."

A military academy whispered beside Zang Ba.

Zang Ba looked at the retreating soldiers and bit his teeth tightly.

Why come to the plains? Because there is no food or grass in other places!

Zang Ba’s plan is actually very simple, it is to take advantage of the troubled waters.

Zang Ba has never been a big shot, so his plan is not to compete with Cao Cao or Fei Qian. He just wants to make his strength stronger. At that time, whether Cao Cao or Fei Qian wins, he can negotiate with the winner with his strength.

It's that simple...

In fact, Zang Ba's strategy is similar to the choices of many gentry surnames in Jizhou and Yuzhou, but those gentry surnames may rely on land, fame, scriptures, etc., while Zang Ba can only rely on the population and soldiers in his hands.

Zang Ba is not a big surname or a celebrity, he is just a thief.

Although he didn't want to be a thief...

If you want to expand your power, you naturally cannot cause trouble in Taishan County. After all, only people can produce property. If you do more in Taishan and the people will run away, will Zangba be the only one who can use birds? So Zang Ba set his sights on the plains.

Pingyuan was originally a plain country, and most of the people who could give royal relatives as their own land were considered good. Although the plain suffered some twists and turns at the beginning, it recovered quite well later, so Zang Ba wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, empty the plain, and add some bargaining chips at the same time.

But unexpectedly, it was so unsuccessful.

In the early stage, Pingyuan did surprise attack, but Pingyuan was once a capital of a feudal country. After all, it was not able to sneak attack and turned into a strong attack, which became a bit difficult.

"People, why don't we change the place?" 』

Military Academy suggested.

Zang Ba thought for a while, "What else do you think is better than the plains?" 』

The military academy was silent.

Of course, there must be better than the plains, such as Qinghe and other...

But the problem is that it will offend too many people. Even if Zang Ba can still live in the court in the future, he doesn’t know when he will be stabbed in the back.

The plain is different. It’s just a ban on the country. Even if it offends, it means it offends the emperor Liu Xie. What's more, now that Zi Liu Xie is no longer insured, how can he care about other brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles? Even if Liu Xie knew that Zang Ba killed his relatives in the country, what could he do to Zang Ba?

Therefore, it is less troublesome to build a plain, many benefits, and it is relatively close, so it is easier to transfer back to Taishan County. Otherwise, if you really cross the river and go to Jizhou, even if you get some people and property, it will be troublesome if you want to get back.

"General, if the Cao army from other places comes to help..." The military academy is also worried.

Zang Ba looked up at the sky, letting the rain fall on his face, then lowered his head and wiped the rain on his face, "Who will come to this kind of weather?" 』

The military academy also looked up at the sky.

The spring rain continues.

'But...' Zang Ba sighed, 'Now I have to think of some solutions, and move some food and grass to get some food and grass...' No one knows how many lives you have to fill in under this plain city, and how long will the remaining food and grass last, so Zang Ba couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Zang Ba has seen food shortage...

If a person is hungry, he is no different from a wild beast.

Stop talking about meat, even dirt!

During the most difficult stage of the Taishan Army, even a small bag of wheat bran may trigger a **** case of mutual struggle.

What kind of cow belts on the armor, even the corpses of companions, will be thrown into the pot and cooked!

In ancient army, once the habit of cannibalism was developed, it was not far from the collapse.

Because normally, when the army is forced to cannibalize, it means that the conventional supply system, including food transportation, on-site grain collection, allied support, etc., has been completely paralyzed. This extreme method is essentially a way to quench thirst because the calorie value that human flesh can obtain is much lower than that of livestock, and there are many parts of the human body that cannot be eaten, or that the acquisition is inefficient and not sustainable. After all, even if the living person is numb, he will at least try his best when facing the wild beasts he wants to eat.

Moreover, the phenomenon of cannibalism also exposed the loss of control over the troops by the command. During the Five Dynasties in history, Zhu Can's troops, which were mainly cannibal, often had a chaotic state of soldiers hunting together and not obeying dispatch.

The importance of food and grass in the army is beyond the imagination of ordinary people...

Zang Ba knew this well. If the food shortage exceeds half, then someone will start to think about killing animals to replenish them. After the animals are eaten in a short time, they can still eat leather products.

However, leather tanned with nitrate can easily cause poisoning, and it is not uncommon to die after eating it.

Finally, when you reach the cannibalism, the psychological trauma caused by this behavior will cause the troops to enter the "survival mode" and completely lose their combat goals, just to live in one bite...

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

The unsustainability of cannibalism as a military means is essentially the last madness before the collapse of a military organization, rather than an actionable means of war.

Therefore, Zang Ba must add a batch before the food and grass falls to the red line so that he can prevent his soldiers from falling into madness.

"The Lord... I heard that Yan's fortress was only eighty miles away..."

The military academy whispered.

Eighty miles.

It takes two days to get there in one day and a half.

Yan's family.

Descendants of Confucius' disciples.

Zang Ba's Adam's apple moved.

He remembered that when he was young, he had worshipped in front of Yan's door.

Although it is not this Yan family, he also declares that he is a saint of Confucius and a family of classics.

But such a descendant of Confucius' saint asked his father to close the case as soon as possible and kill the wronged prisoner.

Everyone knew that the prisoner was wronged, but no one dared to say it. Even his father dared to kneel down and beg for some more time and delay it for a few more days...

The white plum blossoms in front of Yan's gate were blooming like blood.

His father led him to kneel on the bluestone steps in front of Yan's door.

The tiny petals fell into his neck, as cold as blades.

Just like the rain falling from the sky now, it is so cold that it makes people a little crazy.

When my father was dragged out, his thin ankles made two red marks on the snow, and the suede boots of Master Yan's Qingtian were stepping on the blood mark.

…

…

It rained heavily.

Zang Ba actually knew about this Yan family fort, but he didn't want to come at first.

Because this Yan family is not a family and the Yan family back then, it has nothing to do with it. The only thing that is the same may be that both have the surname Yan.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zang Ba has now washed half of his legs, so he can't do anything bad like before.

Zang Ba was very clear about who was the Han Dynasty who was holding the right to speak now. He was definitely not the people in Pingyuan County, nor was he the noble emperor Liu Xie, so he attacked Pingyuan and even plundered the population, which was not a big problem.

Ordinary people, in Shandong, the leeks in the land, were cut one after another. Whoever had the ability would cut it…

But Yan's family is different.

Yan's family is not a leek.

But the thorn...

After learning about Zang Ba's intention to lead the troops, Yan did not say that he would not give money or food. He just didn't know whether it was intentional or whether the people in Yan's fort made a mistake in their busy schedules and sent food to Zang Ba. When he saw Zang Ba, he refused to untie his sword. The jade pendant shone with a gentle light under the torch. "When he heard that the general was worried, he actually used the door panel as a slut. What is the embarrassment of the poor family, even this? 』

Zang Ba's face had a little smirk on his face. After hearing this, he disappeared in an instant, "What do you mean?" 』

The Yan family raised their heads and glanced at Zang Ba with a little contempt, indicating that the servants would carry them into the food bag, "This kind of thing is also worthy of you." 』

Zang Ba's temples thundered.

The Yan family used a scabbard to pierce the grain bag, and the moldy corn fell down, "Don't the general hear that it is difficult for poor families to be expensive, but the cook of moldy corn will become bitter and slurry?" 』

The wind was rotating and flying with the rain, and Zang Ba heard the sound of his teeth gritting.

"A certain Yan family was born in a sling with his slings and was taught seven-leafed and martened animals. The poems and rituals were inherited from Confucius and the crown and robes were exposed to Zhou Dynasty. Those who were born in Guizhou, and had no cypress coffin, they even cut their walls into coffins. Is this the etiquette recorded in "The Book of Rites: Tan Gong"? A martial artist is only used as a hawk or dog. Even if he holds a halberd, he will eventually be like a tung tree in the cooking area. If there is no need to be criticized for the praise, wouldn’t it be burned and destroyed? Now, the general wears a tiger talisman, but he does this kind of miserable thing, and he is still rotten rats and live in the phoenix pavilion, bathing in monkeys and capping with tassels! 』

The Yan son said with a sigh, looking at Zang Ba with his nostrils raised, "Didn't he hear that "only tools and names cannot be faked?" If the general is lost, he will return...』

Zang Ba said, "Are you going to teach me a lesson?" 』

"I heard that when a phoenix is ​​in the turquoise pavilion, I must choose a branch of a lantern; when a tiger tent worships a general, I should select a successor to a bell and a tripod. 'The Yan family's children talked eroticly, 'Now the general's straw raincoat has not been taken off the fields, his robe is still dyed with millet, and he plunders the fat of the people to harm the countryside. Isn't it contrary to the teachings of "The King's System" "Give people a title to the court and share it with the public"? 』

Zang Ba suppressed the anger that surged from his chest and abdomen, and whispered: "Have you finished speaking, just get out after you finish speaking!" 』

The Yan family's children were obviously stunned for a moment, and then became angry, "Alas, Zang Shu!" The remains of the grass and herds are still dry, so they dare to wear purple and yellow clothes? I kindly comforted you, but you are ungrateful! Now I wear a tortoise button and call him a general. I would rather not know that there was a saying in ancient times, "Hold teeth and horns, and jump backwards with front claws"? My descendants of Yan's family are burning in the garden of the sycamore tree, and the ashes are all phoenix feathers; the inkstone on the ice well is the dirt and the ambergris. What are you? The camp gate is lined with halberds, and rust is plowing and hoe; the begging place is fishy and chaff! There is a saying, "A martial man worships a general, just like a eunuch!" Now, looking at your words and deeds, you will be better than eunuchs! Those who practiced the scriptures were still known as the preciousness of scriptures, and those who lived in the fields only knew the preciousness of beans and wheat! You are really unreasonable! Let's go, let's go! 』

The accompanying servant suddenly sneered, and a knife wearing a ring-headed knife spitted on the scattered moldy corn.

Zang Ba's pupils fluttered blood.

He saw the eighteen-year-old himself holding a blood-dripping hatchet, and the eyes of the housekeeper Yan's house were sticking to his straw sandals.

When he saw him and his soldiers breaking through the county, he threw the head of the county magistrate into the fire, the cheers around him were more burning than the firewood bursting in the stove.

He saw the chattering Yan's children flying up and down...

When the sword light suddenly flashed by, there was a sarcastic smile on the face of the Yan family's children.

He rolled next to the grain bag with Jinxian crown, and the corner of his mouth happened to be close to the moldy corn.

"kill! 』

The violent roars mixed with crazy shouts of excitement.

When the blood spread into Yan's fortress, everything was out of control.

Killing, blood.

Chaos, violence.

When Zang Ba entered the Yan family compound, he saw a woman with disheveled hair suddenly breaking free from her restraints and hitting the stone stake with the Yan family flag.

The banner embroidered with the "Poetry and Li Family Heirloom" fell down, covering the plasma gushing out of her head.

Zang Ba looked down and found that he was also wearing a pair of suede boots, stepping on the blood marks...
