Chapter 2323: Coping Strategies in Desperation

"I saw the battle flag!" It’s the battle flag of the Hussars! 』

"Conquer Wei, the general of Shu!" 』

Zhang Shi's eyes were round. Even though he had some guesses in his mind, when he really saw everything in front of him, he still couldn't believe it, "What a hell..."

In front of the valley, under the battle flag, a tall man stood proudly. Behind the tall man, stood a row of hussars...

"Hiss..." Zhang Shi couldn't help but take a breath, "It's so majestic..."

Watching from a crowd before and watching from a hostile standpoint are two different concepts. When he saw the three-color flag, Zhang Shi even felt his heartbeat speed up, his breathing became uncontrollably rapid, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly, especially when he saw the tall man under the flag, wearing a suit of armor and wearing a belt. When a man wearing a hood and a mask...

"Wei Yan!" Wei Wenchang! 』

Zhang Shi thought that the tall man was Wei Yan.

In fact, Wei Yan is not very tall, but people tend to believe what they want to believe. For example, a strong general must be three feet tall and eight feet in waist...

Are the soldiers at the front of the valley really so powerful? not necessarily. After all, he had fought all the way from Yonecang Road, and there was nothing to change. It would be more accurate to say he had a strong momentum, rather than a strong smell.

Probably only the people in Chaoyang District have bright glasses. Therefore, in the eyes of Zhang Shi and others, the hussars in front of them looked like they were about to pounce on them with overwhelming momentum, which made them uneasy.

"Archer! Oh, already lined up... Sword and Shield Bearers! Also lined up? Well, be on alert, the whole army is on alert! 』

Speaking of which, although Zhang Shi was the commander of the military camp, it was his first time to use knives and guns on the battlefield, and he was facing the notorious Wei Yan. His ability to avoid peeing his pants on the spot was considered above average.

Taniguchi's battle flag advanced slowly, not very fast, but more and more people felt an invisible pressure, as if there were many invisible hands squeezing the throats of everyone in the military camp, slowly tightening it with force. , tightening little by little.

Under such a depressing atmosphere, an archer's hand trembled, and the bow that was not fully opened flicked out the arrow lightly, and plunged crookedly into the ground in front of the military camp, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. The gaze then attracted a large number of archers to shoot indiscriminately, followed by silence and embarrassment.

"grass! ” Zhang Shi was extremely angry, “Damn it! Where did you shoot that guy first? Military law team! Where is the military law corps? ! 』

The archer with trembling hands cried out in fright and collapsed on the ground. His urine immediately wet a large area, causing the other archers around him to dodge in a hurry...

"There is something in the military law..." Zhang Shi pointed at the archer who made the mistake. Suddenly his head twitched and he got stuck. He couldn't remember which military law should be used specifically and what it was. He squeaked and said, "Three whips." ten! 』

Generally speaking, the law enforcement team in the military camp is served by the coach's bodyguard. Of course, it must be full-time, but that only exists in large-scale legions. Like the current military camp, obviously the law enforcement team is He is Zhang Shi's bodyguard. After hearing Zhang Shi's order, several guards were immediately sent out, and the unlucky archer was tied up and tortured.

Accompanied by screams of ah ah ah, Zhang Shi felt the need to boost his morale, so he found a temporary wooden frame and stood on it, then shouted loudly: "The hussars must be exhausted after coming from a long distance." We are exhausted and cannot bear to fight for a long time! But here we are waiting for work, and we have a military stronghold to protect us, so we have an advantage! What else are you afraid of? 』

"What's more, even if Wei Yan comes in person, what does it mean? Zhang Shi waved his arms, and his voice was more or less trembling and sharp, not sure whether it was because of the bleak autumn wind or excitement, "Wei Yan!" Only a piffle! There are always people who are brave and brave, but they can't pass here! Today, at this moment, I want to let Wei Yan know how powerful I am! 』

Zhang Shi spoke generously and inspiringly, but suddenly he heard the sound of applause coming from behind the wooden frame...

"Well said! 』

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw a few people standing by the wooden frame at some point. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Hey...who is it?" 』

Under the wooden frame, a strong man showed his eight big teeth and smiled brightly: "So that the general will know that this is Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang!" 』

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, and the guard beside Zhang Shi woke up earlier and shouted: "General!" careful! 』

But it was too late, Wei Yan jumped directly onto the wooden frame. Zhang Shi subconsciously wanted to dodge, but before he could escape, Wei Yan flashed his sword and flipped the sword over, placing the sharp blade on Zhang Shi's neck!

Zhang Shi's guards nearby wanted to grab it, but they were approached by Wei Yan's soldiers. After a jingling noise, all of them were killed or injured, and they had no ability to resist at all.

Zhang Shi was choked by Wei Yan. He felt the sharpness of the blade. The cold hairs on his body stood on end. He didn't dare to let out his breath. His face was red from holding back, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. "You...how did you get in?" 』

Wei Yan chuckled, "It came down from the sky!" ” Then his face turned cold and he said, “Say! Do you want to die or live?』

In fact, there was no need for Zhang Shi to answer. Wei Yan had already gotten the answer from the trembling Zhang Shi.

"You actually want to hold someone hostage..."

Most timid people are also ashamed to admit their timidity. Zhang Shiqiang sneered twice. He was about to say a few harsh words or something, but Wei Yan's arm used force, and he immediately choked back his subsequent words. Went back.

The military camp was in chaos at this moment. After seeing Zhang Shi being held in Wei Yan's hand, some people were at a loss and others were yelling and pointing towards Wei Yan, Zhang Shi and others with their swords and guns. People gathered around, and then they confronted several of Wei Yan's men around the wooden frame.

Zhang Shi was choked by Wei Yan, unable to move, and his face was red. I don't know whether it was because of shame and anger, or simply suppressed discomfort. Anyway, he couldn't say a word, and the sword in Wei Yan's hand was placed across Zhang Shi's neck. As long as he exerts a little force, Zhang Shi will definitely die.

"Hahaha..." Wei Changchang laughed loudly, "The Zhang family has rebelled and will be executed soon!" If you surrender, I will forgive you! If you resist stubbornly, the three tribes will be destroyed! 』

"Blow the trumpet!" " Wei Yan ordered his men, and while being surrounded by Zhang's soldiers, he smiled leisurely, "Think of your wife, children, and children, and don't want to be buried with the Zhang thief! 』

Zhang Shi trembled. For a moment, he did think about ordering the soldiers not to worry about him, but the small wound on his neck that was cut at an unknown time was like a hole in a balloon. His heroic spirit dissipated with a "chi".

Wei Yan's action this time was very risky, even more risky than using gunpowder to blow up a military stronghold. However, Wei Yan felt that the gunpowder he carried needed to be used in key places. A small military stronghold was not worth wasting gunpowder...

In addition to this reason, Wei Yan was actually almost at the end of his rope.

Whether in ancient times or in modern times, replenishing supplies for marches is a very important event.

Although it is said that because of the advanced ideas of Hussars General Fei potential in ordnance items and the logistical preparations that were beyond this era, some technology trees could not be opened, so Wei Yan came all the way, even if there were people in the Jinhe and Diren cottages. Some supplies were plundered, but the consumption was still very high. When they arrived at Xuefeng Nanshan, they had no capital to turn back. If they could not quickly occupy this military stronghold, Wei Yan would face the dilemma of running out of food!

Therefore, in history books, it is often claimed that an army with a scale of hundreds of thousands or millions is actually for fools. As long as you have some military common sense, you can know the problems. An army with a scale of tens of thousands will not simply march. If you march in a column, unless there is really only one way to go, it will be very slow and very blocked. If a small group has a problem, tens of thousands of people can be blocked and unable to move!

Because congestion will spread, it may take a few hours for a small group to reach the end of the queue after being stuck for ten minutes, just like a car accident suddenly collides with each other on the road, and after being stuck for thirty minutes, it can pass two or three traffic lights to get to the rear.

In particular, there is a phenomenon called "ghost traffic jam"...

Therefore, most of the marching troops were not large in number. Don’t think that everything written in Chinese history is true, and don’t think that Chinese history is too exaggerated. For example, the history books of Asan and Nichinan seem small if they are tens of thousands. It starts with 100,000 yuan, and then starts with tens of millions, and some directly give the entire exascale level...

There are also ancient Greek historians who specifically emphasized that they lay down on the top of a mountain, and then counted them one by one, and counted out that Darius brought two million people...

Therefore, Wei Yan could not take many people with him when he took the Micang Road. The more people he took, the heavier the burden would be. In addition, Wei Yan was running in a hurry without stopping to take a good rest, so when he arrived at Nanshan At the time of the military camp, it was actually almost at the end of its strength.

But the risks are mutual.

There are risks for Wei Yan on Wei Yan's side, and Zhang Ze, Zhang Shi and others also have their own risks.

Because Zhang Ze rebelled, Wei Yan concluded that not everyone in Hanzhong would be willing to follow Zhang Ze all the way to the dark side. Another very important reason was that all Zhang Ze's soldiers were actually supposed to be in the Hussars. under the sequence.

Since they are in the same sequence, they have the same armor, and even the layout of the military stronghold will generally be arranged according to commonly used templates. When Wei Yan blends into such a military stronghold, there is almost no need to distinguish. You can find the location of the Chinese army, and then you can see Zhang Shi who is doing mobilization at a glance.

Moreover, Wei Yan looked rough on the outside, but he was very delicate in military operations. He strangled Zhang Shi's neck, tightening and loosening at times, making Zhang Shi suffocate to death. If Zhang Shi did anything unusual, Wei Yan would kill him. Zhang Shi's breath and words were all killed!

Zhang Shi was in a state of ecstasy for a moment and could not speak. Zhang Shi's guards also followed suit and did not dare to act rashly. For a general's personal guard, the victory or defeat of the army or even Zhang Ze's success or failure was not as important as Zhang Shi's personal life.

This is due to the characteristics of the Han Dynasty. If Zhang Shi died, Zhang Shi's guarding tribes would be almost equivalent to social death. Even if these guarding tribes later killed Wei Yan to vent their anger, they would not be killed for a long time. To a large extent, no other general would be willing to accept them. Those who protect themselves and their families face the risk of falling in social class and even becoming slaves...

At this moment, the only one who can give orders to these escort troops is Zhang Shi.

Would Zhang Shi say leave me alone and shoot me?

No, Zhang Shi can't even speak right now...

Or maybe in this military camp, a general with a higher position than Zhang Shi came forward and said that there is no need to worry, and all responsibilities will be borne by him.

But now in Zhang Shi's camp, Zhang Shi is the biggest...

Therefore, these tribes can only confront Wei Yan and others.

Just like in history, Xiahou Dun was held hostage, and no one in the army dared to move at all, until external forces broke the deadlock.

Wei Yan himself also had a guard team, so he was very aware of these things. Therefore, Wei Yan calmly controlled Zhang Shi, and then ordered a signal to be sent for the rest of the soldiers at the mouth of the valley to come over.

For a moment, the situation in the military stronghold was very strange. Wei Yan held Zhang Shi hostage, and then Zhang Shi's soldiers surrounded Wei Yan, while the rest of Wei Yan's troops in the outer circle began to approach the military stronghold after receiving the signal...

The soldiers in the army camp who had lost their command were at a loss when they saw Wei Yan's men approaching.

Wei Yan's calmness gradually affected more people and took the initiative in the scene. Although Wei Yan only had a small number of people in the military camp, he made several times more enemies afraid to move rashly.

Wei Yan's men ran wildly and roared in front of the military stronghold. Several rounds of arrows directly drove back Zhang Shi's soldiers near the stronghold gate, and then either threw climbing ropes or used big axes to chop and chisel the stronghold. Wall, under the hesitation of Zhang Shi's soldiers, he opened the gate of the military stronghold and rushed into the military stronghold.

"You are a coercion, I will forgive you if you surrender!" If you resist stubbornly, the three tribes will be destroyed! 』

"Or surrender!" Or die! 』

The soldiers of Wei Yan who rushed in immediately broke the siege of Wei Yan, then roared and pointed their swords at the trembling Zhang Shi's men.

Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of Zhang Shi, "You still won't surrender?" 』

Zhang Shi trembled a few times and lowered his head helplessly, "We...are willing to surrender...please also ask General Zheng Shu to keep his promise and let a certain subordinate go..."

"Haha..." Wei Yan saw through Zhang Shi's thoughts and did not reveal it, "Don't worry! As long as you are truly willing to surrender, you can live forever! 』

The flag belonging to the Zhang family was lowered, and the flags representing Hussar and Wei Yan were raised.

In the camp, Wei Yan's men cheered, while Zhang Shi's men bowed their heads and knelt on the ground...

……(^.^)YYa……

Chang'an, cross streets.

If you want to know the size, you can go to 14S, 10W, NW, NU on Chang'an Cross Street...

Got involved.

Some things will be born, then prosper, eventually decline, and finally die. This is a kind of reincarnation.

The same is true for human beings, who live in ignorance and die in despair.

It’s just that human beings have used their short lives to dilute this concept, and because of the bridge of knowledge inheritance and the position of teacher, which is separated from production and dangerous positions and transferred to impart experience, human beings have passed on from generation to generation. Possibility of moving forward.

But in this process, there are ups and downs, and there are transitions, but in the end, the most important thing about human society is the orderly continuation and development...

"Hey, someone is coming..."

"What's going on?" 』

"Let it go!" Get out of the way! 』

Seeing a scribe coming with two guards, people on the crossroads gathered involuntarily, and then got in front of the hot announcement.

"Only when people have fraternity can they be called benevolence." Only by practicing benevolence can one be called righteousness. 』

"Today there is chaos, but we don't know what kind and righteousness can do." 』

"There were sages in ancient times, such as those in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Zhou Dao gradually declined, and so did Confucius. The disputes among the seven kingdoms ended with Qin, Shang Yang's rule, and Huang Lao Yu Han. At that time, there were words of benevolence, righteousness and morality. If they were not introduced by Yang, they would be introduced by Mo. If they were not knowledgeable in the law, they would be discussed by Lao. If you enter that, you must come out of this. When you go in, you respect it; when you go out, you despise it; when you go in, you attach to it; when you go out, you despise it. When future generations hear about it, they want to ask about benevolence and righteousness. Who will listen to it? 』

"In ancient times, it was harmful. The sages established it to drive away insects and beasts, and settled in the middle earth." Cold, clothing, hunger, food, flow, shelter, lack of utensils. There are craftsmen to support people with their utensils, merchants to help them know what they have, medicine to help people die young, music to relieve depression, etiquette to take precedence, and politics to lead them to idleness. If you are tired, you will be punished to stop your greed. 』

"Therefore, people's harm is always harmful to themselves, and people's greed is always due to their own desires." 』

"..."

There is a lot of talk, and finally the most important conclusion is given.

"Today, the knights know benevolence and righteousness, and they also practice benevolence and righteousness. They remember that the soldiers and civilians are one and the same. Specially, a new "Salesian Bureau" has been established next to the Chang'an Medical Center to take care of children of both sexes who have lost their parents or who have been abandoned by the neighbors. Leave him alone, feed him and warm him, raise him up, let him do what he wants with his physiology, with the universal love of the whole world, the benevolence and righteousness of a great man..."

Under the sign on the cross street, people shaking their heads began to discuss.

Farming does not mean that everything will be over once it is established.

Because everything reflects human nature.

Years of war have produced many orphans in various places, including in the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an. Some of these orphans were lucky enough to be combined with some refugee families who had lost their children, but there are still a lot of orphans. A large number of orphans have no relatives, or even slightly familiar relatives.

When Fei Qian first registered the refugees and gave them resettlement, he consciously made some adjustments and arrangements, such as combining men and women of similar age who had lost their spouses, and then arranging one or two orphans to form a new family. Among families, some families are doing well. Kind-hearted people support each other and slowly bury their sadness in their hearts, treating the people under the same roof as their new relatives.

And some other families are not so happy. Because of this or that reason, mainly people's ignorance, more troublesome things have happened, and even some violent incidents have occurred. Among all these violent incidents, children who are physically vulnerable are undoubtedly the most difficult to resist and the most vulnerable to harm...

After rechecking the farm household registration in the second and third years, this kind of problem came to light. Some people disappeared by hiding and hiding, some people jumped off a rock and broke their necks, and some people ran away on their own. The mortality rate of these orphans who drowned in the river far exceeded that of adults.

Because Fei Qian had placed inspections in the countryside, these problems were exposed without the cover of the clan. Although these inspectors may not know how to solve crimes, because the crimes sometimes have no cover at all, these ignorant people think that they will not pay attention to these orphans.

After the news was reported, Fei Qian asked the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple, Sima Yi, to deal with these matters and give corresponding punishment to the perpetrators. However, even if the perpetrators were punished, they could not restore the lives of the children who died in the process. life.

In order to solve this orphan problem, Fei Qian established the Salesian Bureau. Although it is impossible to solve all the problems, it can be regarded as a good start. The establishment of the Salesian Bureau, from a certain perspective, also opened a new chapter in Dahan...
