Chapter 2307 Behind the Bright Martial Arts Hall

Big man...

What exactly is it?

If you live among big men every day, do you know what a big man is? For these Han people, how do they get to know this big man and identify with their motherland? Did the concept of motherland exist in the Han Dynasty, or was it only born in later generations?

In later generations, Fei Qian also watched many dramas, movies, and TV series, but these seemed to subconsciously avoid this issue. Because the characters in the play seem to have already defined their camps from the beginning and will never deviate.

How does a person develop his or her motherland from scratch, from recognition to recognition? Just by shouting and then writing a parallel sentence of "ah ah ah", does it mean that this person recognizes and identifies with the motherland?

Obviously not, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in history who rebelled against their own country. Even if they had this or that reason, or even some specious reasons, they would still be ashamed of not being able to leave the motherland. , I’m embarrassed to say hello to people when I stay in China...

Some things do not have national boundaries, but people must have the attributes of a country. Otherwise, the nationality column on the personal information is just for fun?

Just like these spies sent by Cao Cao, well, this is Fei Qian's inference. Are these spies doing such things for the big man, for Cao Cao, or simply for credit and favors, money and interests? ?

This is a very interesting question.

Especially after the establishment of the Three Kingdoms in history, what kind of changes happened to the Han Dynasty in the minds of these people?

Yes, for the most basic ordinary people in China, the degree of compression can be extremely great. Only after the compression is reached to the extreme, these people will rebound. Of course, the force of the rebound is naturally very great. It was originally suppressed. The multiple will determine how high the subsequent rebound will be. Therefore, more often than not, those who lament the changes and trends in the country, the country, the Han Dynasty, and the world are not ordinary people, but the children of the gentry.

Then when these gentry children were thinking about this and that every day, they hurriedly threw themselves into the arms of various interests, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, the clique Donglin, well done!

So these children of the noble clan are actually elite?

Therefore, everything points to one place, and those with vested interests will not give up those interests easily.

Those with vested interests include Fei Qian himself.

If Fei Qian gives up everything now, then the rest will definitely be cut into pieces by five horses, and then eaten by various interest representatives who rush forward. Therefore, what Fei Qian should do most now is not to fight endlessly, but to continue fighting. Integrate these elite elements until these crooked guys are unified in their own direction.

As for those who are never willing to go together...

Take Yang Xiu for example, he is constantly invading and slashing whenever he finds an opportunity, just like now.

"My lord, you two generals..." Huang Xu blew out the candles, then brought out the washing utensils and some drinks, "It's dawn..."

Fei Qian came back to his senses from his racing thoughts. When he raised his eyes, he saw the faint morning light outside the hall.

Unknowingly, they stayed up all night again, and Fei Qian and the other three went through the steps of the overall action.

In fact, Fei Qian does not need to stay up late, but because this time is special, Xu Huang is the leader, and Ma Yue is almost the same as a student. If Fei Qian is not present, Ma Yue will inevitably be embarrassed. If such inexplicable emotions lead to cooperation There was a problem, but it was not beautiful, so Fei Qian simply accompanied him. Of course, it was just to accompany him. Most of the plans were made by Xu Huang as the main leader and Ma Yue as the supplement...

After washing up and eating breakfast, Fei Qian smiled, looked at Xu Huang and Ma Yue, and ordered: "Let's take action!" 』

Seeing Xu Huang and Ma Yue taking orders and marching out with high spirits, Fei Qianba smacked his lips, then turned to look at Huang Xu, "You go outside and stare, I'll go and squint for a while..."

Huang Xu chuckled and stood outside the hall.

Fei Qian swayed around the screen, then took off his robe, lay down casually behind the screen, covered himself with his robe, and fell asleep quickly. Regarding this matter, although it can be regarded as the first counter-espionage operation, Fei Qian did not feel much pressure. They were just beating up some lackeys. Xu Huang and Ma Yue had already been dispatched out of caution. If Fei Qian still kept an eye on them like this, then all these years would have been in vain...

The residents of Tongguan City woke up early in the morning and found that the atmosphere in the city seemed to be unusually solemn today. There were obviously a lot more soldiers patrolling the streets, and checks at various gates were also particularly strict, and some people wearing clothes Inspections in crimson robes led people to conduct door-to-door inspections.

The residents of Tongguan looked at each other, and then they closed all the doors and windows of their homes in fear, and were not ready to go out if it was not necessary. Some timid merchants even ordered their clerks to put back the door panels they had just removed, ready to go out today. It's closed for business.

An inspector walked to a liquor store and looked up where the store sign should have been hung. There was only a bare wooden stick. Of course, this is not a problem. After all, other stores have closed their doors and are not open for business, and there are no store banners hanging out.

"Boom, boom, boom!" 』

The patrolman smashed the door panel a few times and said, "Temporary inspection!" Open the door! 』

Not long after, the door of the wine shop opened with a creak from the inside...

A female servant poked her head out from inside, holding on to the door frame with one hand, leaning forward slightly. There seemed to be a few drops of water on her pink face from washing in the morning, and her black hair was simply tied with a wooden hairpin. Pulled up, some black hair hangs down from the fair face to the elastic chest.

The inspector's eyes fell involuntarily.

"It's so early...what can I do?" We won't be open until the afternoon..." The waitress said in a lazy voice, "Or do you want to come in and sit down? "The title "official" was originally used for people who were officials. Later, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, it evolved into a title for husbands. Although the inspector is not a big official, it seems acceptable to call him an official.

Sit down? Or, do it?

The inspector swallowed his saliva and forgot to answer for a while. Then he waited for the female recruiter to ask again, then coughed and said seriously: "Have you seen anyone suspicious in the past few days?" 』

The waitress didn't seem to notice that her clothes were a little loose. She stood at the door and tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Ah...it doesn't seem like it. The people who come to the store are usually regular customers, are they strangers...there are a few of them." But they left immediately and didn’t even remember..."

The inspector nodded, then took out a piece of wood, drew a line on it, and said, "There have been gangsters in the city recently, so be more careful!" If you see anyone suspicious, report it directly! 』

After hearing this, the female recruiter let out an ouch and slightly covered her mouth with her hand, as if she was a little surprised and scared.

"But don't worry. The whole city is now under martial law. It's only a matter of time before these gangsters are caught..." The inspector's eyes couldn't help but drop again, and then the topic changed, "I heard you... the drinks are good?" 』

The female recruiter was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, sir, would you like to... have a taste?" 』

The inspector grunted and waved his hand, "Next time!" ” Then he turned around and led his men to the next store.

The waitress stood at the door with a smile, watching the inspector and others leave, then subconsciously looked left and right at the street, and then closed the door with a pull.

The female recruiter didn't notice that several lines of sight were cast over her from the watchtower at the entrance of the street, watching her every move...

"It's basically confirmed..." Xu Huang raised his chin slightly, "It's right here." 』

Ma Yue scratched the back of his head, feeling a little painful.

Obviously he and Xu Huang were standing together on the watchtower at this street intersection, and then they were watching each door knocking on the door and asking questions. Then why didn't he see anything, and then Xu Huang had already confirmed it?

Did Ma Yue neglect something?

Or maybe Xu Huang already knew something?

Or some other reason?

"Uh..." Ma Yue hesitated, but finally asked, "General Gongming, please tell me how to identify this place?" 』

Xu Huang waved his hand and said: "It's not like giving any advice, just sharing a few details... Inspections and inspections along the street are rare, so it is common sense to close the door... It's just one of them. In the wine shop, only Is there a female recruiter? Man, where is the shopkeeper? Don't say that this kind of momentum is just sleeping soundly? Look at other stores..."

There was so much commotion on the street, and the wine shop didn't just have the proprietress and female recruiters. Could it be that all the men in the wine shop were already dead? Therefore, if something is abnormal, there must be something fishy.

Ma Yue looked around and saw that in some shops outside the wine shop, most of the shopkeepers came forward, nodding and bowing, talking to the inspectors...

Xu Huang slowly stated his reasoning, even as if he saw the situation inside the wine shop. The female waitress was responding outside the door, while the shopkeeper and the waiter were nervously holding daggers and knives, hiding in the shadows against the door. inside.

After listening to Xu Huang's analysis, Ma Yue suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Many things are like this. In fact, they are very simple. It just depends on whether you have the eyes to notice some details.

"Go and get the inspection record later," Xu Huang ordered the guard on the side. "If there is any abnormality in the registered wine shop, that's fine. If not, you should be punished..."

Ma Yue quickly remembered this point in his heart.

It's interesting to say that Ma Yue was actually Zhao Yun's first teacher.

When Zhao Yun didn't understand anything, he secretly watched Ma Yue and imitated and learned bit by bit. However, in the past few years, Ma Yue has been training recruits in Yinshan. Basically, he has not encountered any special challenges, so he has not encountered any special challenges. How much growth can be achieved, so now he has become Xu Huang's student.

"In addition..." Xu Huang said, "There are many merchants in the wine shop, which is the best place to hide your whereabouts... There are also cellars to store wine... You can not only hide wine, but also some kerosene, and you can also hide some gangsters." ...Therefore, when searching the enemy's territory, the first important places are wine shops, shops, restaurants, and deserted dwellings..."

"So, now..." Xu Huang made a few gestures on the high platform, and soldiers immediately started to take action.

Soldiers holding shields began to surround the front door of the wine shop, and some soldiers went to the back alley.

Archers began to mount on the beams of the next door and crouched under the ridge.

There are also soldiers standing under the wall of the wine shop, holding on to wooden ladders, ready to put up the wall at any time...

Xu Huang waved his arms.

The soldier holding the ax approached the door panel, and when the ax went down, a piece of the door panel of the wine shop collapsed, and a huge hole was opened in two or three strokes. Immediately, the shield soldiers on the side thrust their shields into the hole and rushed in.

These days, there is no so-called search warrant, and there is no need to go through any procedures. Just give the order and proceed directly.

Panic roars and fighting sounds came out...

The soldiers on the walls and roofs also stood up. Under the cover of bows and arrows, the battle was resolved almost instantly, and then some wounded and corpses were dragged out from the courtyard of the wine shop.

Obviously, there are many people hiding in the wine shop, not just one female recruiter.

Under the overwhelming momentum, in the blink of an eye, Xu Huang's soldiers retreated hurriedly, and at the same time, black smoke rose from the wine shop!

"not good! These thieves were so crazy that they set fire to it! Xu Huang shouted, "Tear it down quickly and knock down the wall!" Use sand and gravel to put out the fire! 』

Drinks in the Han Dynasty were generally low-alcohol wines. Only the high-alcohol wines used by the military for disinfection and sold to barbarian areas were high-alcohol wines. And with such a rapid fire in the wine shop, it could only be kerosene instead of ordinary low-alcohol wines. .

Once the kerosene burns, it cannot be extinguished by ordinary water. It can only be extinguished with sand and gravel. Therefore, Xu Huang immediately made the most correct decision to knock down the wall of the wine shop. On the one hand, it would make it possible for the fire to break out in the courtyard of the wine shop. The oil will not be ignited by spreading, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings...

On the other side of the city, Fan Cong stood in his yard, looking at the black smoke rising from the direction of the city, his heart sank. Today the city gates were sealed and there were many soldiers and patrols on the streets. Fan Cong knew something was wrong.

Now when he saw black smoke rising from the direction of the wine shop, Fan Cong knew that the group of people in the wine shop must be in danger without looking specifically.

"Ruined……"

Fan Cong's whole body was filled with ice.

Before the inspection, Fan Cong had already burned those fatal things. Mixed in the smoke from cooking the preserved meat, no special problems were revealed...

But even if there is no problem with Fan Cong here, if there is a problem in the wine shop, as long as someone confesses Fan Cong...

And the most troublesome thing is that the city gate is currently closed and there is no way to get out!

Fan Cong sat blankly on the stone bench in the courtyard, then pinched the cold inside his sleeves.

Is it possible...

Is today the day to die?

Looking back at Xu Huang and Ma Yue, they had basically cleared up the problems in the city and were preparing to go to the labor camp. Of course, the interrogation work does not require Xu Huang and Ma Yue to keep an eye on it. Anyway, there are Huang Xu and Xu Chu in the city, and no one can make a difference.

"The labor camp..." Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "I asked Gongming to raid the formation." 』

Xu Huang nodded and did not fight with Ma Yue over such a trivial matter.

Destruction will not happen without a reason, it must have manpower, and manpower either comes from outside, or sneaks in secretly. If the main places where manpower is hidden in the city are wine shops, shops, deserted residences and other places, then At Xintongguan, the most suitable place outside the city is of course the labor camp.

Most of the laborers in the labor camps are ordinary people, and some are prisoners who have committed crimes. Therefore, apart from working, eating, and sleeping, these people hardly care about anything else every day. This is precisely why , it is very convenient to hide people’s hands in it...

Because the surrounding area of ​​the labor camp has been sealed off, it is actually easier to deal with these spies who have sneaked into the labor camp. There are no fake laborers who can cause trouble. After the knives and guns hidden in the residence are searched, they naturally become trapped. Beast fight.

Xu Huang looked at the fake laborers who were fighting hard with the soldiers, but were already struggling to their death. He shook his head and said slowly: "Ordinary knives and spears are not prohibited from entering ordinary cities, but this is a pass, so All swords and guns are strictly prohibited from entering the city, so it is either around the inn or somewhere else to hide it, but no matter where it is hidden, it must be difficult to lose and easy to retrieve...』

"So if it's a labor camp, it's nothing more than hiding in three places, a work shed and a residence. It's the only way to go!" "Xu Huang said calmly, "And people like this are afraid of losing their weapons, so they will definitely send people to check them frequently... Therefore, we only need to observe some abnormalities, such as grass withering in the bush, trees withering in the forest, and new ones. If you find the road, soft soil, etc., you can check it..."

Ma Yue was stunned for a while as he listened. Although these things sound simple, just like eating and drinking water, in fact it is not easy to do them, and sometimes clues may be ignored if one is not paying attention.

During the encirclement and suppression by soldiers, those fake laborers who could not escape were either captured or shot to death, and no one escaped. It's just a pity that the labor leader, who was obviously the leader, deliberately ran into the soldier's spear when he saw that the situation was not going well at the beginning, and was already killed...

"One last search..." Xu Huang ordered, "Each labor leader will be interrogated separately and asked who the dead man had the most daily contacts with!" Take it all together! 』

Generally speaking, spies in this era are still involved in relatively simple processes. After all, Dahan has always been in a relatively unified state. This kind of business has not been carried out for many years, and it is natural to do something rough. It is reasonable, and without a bloody lesson, naturally you will not be able to gain those growth, and you will not be able to reach the level of potential for future generations.

"Gongming, this, this..." Ma Yue almost didn't know what he should say, "I wonder where Gongming knew these secret techniques?" 』

Xu Huang smiled slightly and said, "Martial Arts Hall... If General Ma has flaws, you might as well go and see more... Since the Lord established Pingyang Workshop, there have been many people with malicious intentions, either peeping, stealing, or Whether it's forcing craftsmen, or luring them into bribery, all these things are recorded in the martial arts hall..."

Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, "Huh?" But I...why didn't I see these last time? 』

"General Ma, have you never been to the back hall?" Xu Huang said with a smile, "Such strategies are not listed in the main hall of the martial arts hall, but in the back hall of Chen. Ordinary generals are not allowed to enter... My lord has said that such things are shady strategies and should not be used." You can see it in the light, but you can’t not know it..."
