Chapter 2344 How to Have a Memory (More Updates)

If there is a regret medicine in this world, what color should the regret medicine be?

Black?

Or is it white?

At least be sure that it is definitely not a colorful color, because the regret medicine must taste very bad.

In fact, color and taste are not necessarily related. Just like occupying Chengdu, it does not mean that everything will develop as previously imagined.

The most fundamental factor behind Li Miao's mobilization was that Chengdu was currently collecting grain and grass from various places. Once it controlled Chengdu and obtained the seals and ribbons, even if the counties and counties in various places may not fully obey the orders, it would still make these people hesitate and take this opportunity. Cutting off Xu Shu's supply of food and grass would be even better if it could force Xu Shu to return and attack Guanghan or Chengdu...

As long as Xu Shu takes action, it will be a real conspiracy!

Guang Han, who had already done the early covert work of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, if he persisted even a little bit and said he had to go out for half a month, Xu Shu's army would definitely be shaken and completely collapsed!

Unless Xu Shu also looted places, and then captured people and made them into rat meat, he might be able to survive for a few more days, but that also meant that Xu Shu was completely on the opposite side of Sichuan and Shu. There was no need for Li to say anything. People all over Sichuan and Shu will rise up against Xu Shu!

When I planned it, everything was going great. It's like when you just left the lottery shop, holding the lottery ticket you just bought in your hand. But the changes that followed made this beauty disappear. It feels like the lottery hasn't been drawn yet, like I heard that a certain director has been arrested.

For Li Miao, the award was a joke.

The government office is empty!

There is a house and utensils, but there is no most important seal!

The warehouse is also empty!

We have money and goods, but we don’t have the most important food and grass!

It's like after spending a lot of money, a bunch of waste comes out. Then there are two options, one is to continue to earn money, and the other is to just buy it.

Li Miao chose to continue krypton.

He welcomed Liu Zhang.

In the Chengdu government office, the fire was blazing, and the sounds of shouting and fighting that had been there suddenly stopped for a while after the first batch of insurrectionary troops arrived. Then, as the chaos ensued and more and more people gathered to take advantage of the fire, the noise became louder again. Countless figures were just running around in the firelight, running around wildly, grabbing and grabbing.

Li Miao's men couldn't control it at all, or they didn't have the intention to control it. After all, even though Li Miao kept shouting for the loyalty of the hussar and world peace, the moment he held the sword and gun, any fool knew that things were not simple. Those who are brave enough to follow, aren't they just to see if they can make a fortune?

Therefore, it is considered very restrained to say that we did not set fire, and did not burn the Chengdu government office and Beicheng Xuancang into a big furnace. As for running around and looting, frantically robbing all kinds of property, brocade, yellow and white things, then no one Even if I manage it, I can’t control it. Countless people with red eyes rushed into the house, threw themselves on the ground, and threw themselves in front of the property, fighting, wrestling, and even fighting each other. From time to time, someone would scream and fall to the ground, with blood splattering everywhere.

This kind of chaos has been going on for several days. At the beginning, when these guys saw the soldiers of Li Miao and others, they would restrain themselves to some extent, but later on, they became red-eyed and turned heads and stopped caring at all. . Even many of Li Miao's men simply joined in the looting. After all, they still had weapons in their hands and had practiced secretly for a period of time. Of course, it would be more efficient to organize themselves to rob money than refugees.

In addition, some people took the opportunity to avenge themselves and went to any length to frame them, causing innocent people to suffer casualties in this turmoil...

Li Miao thought it was a simple matter, that he could do it even if he went to him, that Xu Shu was just a poor boy who had found an opportunity, but the Li family of Guanghan had a history of hundreds of years, thousands of books, and ten thousand acres of fertile land. Why? Isn't it better than that Zhu Zi?

But when he really took over Chengdu, he had to rectify the rebel army on the one hand, and protect the people's livelihood on the other. Under the complicated circumstances, Li Miao found that he was too busy at all!

The food, drinks, and water we eat every day seemed sparse and ordinary, but suddenly we found that no one was delivering them, shops were basically closed, and businesses were at a standstill! Chengdu is in chaos. Who dares to send supplies from outside? Who will send them in?

There are people who raise prices on the ground and people who take advantage of the opportunity to hoard.

Because of the soaring prices and the severe shortage of materials, after the only food reserves were eaten up, many people began to join the ranks of chaos, either actively or by force...

Then it began to spread to the noble residence in the city, Gaoshi Dafang.

Some of the people whose homes were broken up were lucky enough to survive, but they were running around in the city like crazy, crying and howling with disheveled hair, passing by the crazy soldiers who were looting from one house to another.

And all this, Chengdu, a central town in Sichuan, went from being very orderly to being in chaos and with corpses everywhere in just three or four days!

At this moment, no one cares about whether Xu Shu was unjustly accused or who said the right thing. There is only one thought left. No matter who is right or wrong, let this go!

End the chaos quickly!

So the first thing Li Miao asked Liu Zhang to do was to quickly restore order around Chengdu!

Liu Zhang was surrounded by people and walked all the way to the government office. When he reached the street, he looked up and saw that in the dark night, the once-familiar mansion looked a bit dilapidated and desolate. Those colorful tiles and painted beams have lost all their color at this moment.

Even for a slow man like Liu Zhang, he couldn't help but feel as if someone had pinched him in his heart, and even he was a little shaken. When Liu Yan was still alive, he came to Sichuan for the first time, and the scene when he saw this mansion once again overlapped with the present...

This time, that time.

Things are, people are not.

There were few lights in the surrounding streets, only chaotic and swaying torches swaying in the streets. Although there are patrolling soldiers, these soldiers on duty who were originally rebels would turn into wild beasts in places where there is insufficient light. The swaying figures in the fire were like countless monsters with teeth and claws. Following Liu Zhang, Li Miao and others into the mansion step by step, it was like walking into the underworld.

In the hall and courtyard, which were usually brightly lit, now there is only a dim yellow light, flickering feebly in the darkness, making people feel as if these firelights will be extinguished in the next moment.

Some soldiers stood on both sides of the courtyard, fully armed, and some archers with bows on their backs were patrolling on the wall of the government office. Amidst the clanging armor, the night dew was heavy, and the red robes were stained with ink, which was difficult to distinguish from the surrounding darkness. .

The door of the hall was opened, and the central screen was removed, so that one could see from the front to the back. But because the lights in the backyard are sparse, the back door of the hall looks like an empty mouth.

Today, Li Miao "invited" Liu Zhang overnight. Naturally, he could not have any servants prepared to serve Liu Zhang. After entering the hall, he didn't even have a mouth to speak...

When it comes to governance ability, Liu Zhang cannot even compare to Li Miao's level. Even after sitting in the middle position and accepting the worship of the unknown people in the hall, Liu Zhang stared at him with big eyes and small eyes. Don't know what to say.

Li Miao didn't care, or he didn't want to care at all.

Li Miao invited Liu Zhang here just as a pretense to prove the correctness of his actions. Liu Zhang did not know how to govern or give orders, which was a good thing for Li Miao, so Li Miao simply ignored him. He asked Liu Zhang and went straight to give orders to some people in the hall.

Liu Zhang listened to the chirping sounds at first, but soon found that whether he listened or not, it actually didn't mean anything...

Liu Zhang imagined that he would jump up, angrily scold the people in front of him, and then let these guys headed by Li Miao fall at his feet one by one, and then shed tears, repent, and instantly become loyal, and would go through fire and water for him. No matter what.

But when Liu Zhang returned to reality, he found that he didn't even know what to denounce, what allusions to use, and what stakes to scare. Could it be that he just said that the people were suffering, or scolded the great people? Will slotting solve the problem?

At this moment, Liu Zhang only felt that in this government office and hall, many ancestors of the Liu family seemed to have appeared in the darkness, gesticulating around him, yelling, cursing, and trying to kill Liu Zhang, the unscrupulous person. It's like the descendants were wiped out on the spot.

In the end, Liu Zhang could only stretch out his hands, cover his face, and lower his head deeply.

……/(ㄒoㄒ)/……

early morning.

Between the two mountains, rocks confront each other. Where the valley opens, there is a white water river.

There is a rugged mountain road beside the river. The narrowest part can only accommodate two horses walking side by side. Under the mountain road, even though it was winter, the cold water still roared quietly, hitting the jagged rocks on both sides, making bursts of water sounds. The mountains in this area are all rocky mountains with sparse vegetation and hard rocks that are difficult to drill through and climb. Even mountain soldiers have a headache with this terrain.

In this kind of place, it is very difficult to even build a fixed stronghold. The cliffs on both sides are tens of feet away from the white water. Although it is close to the water, it is difficult to get water, attack and defend, so it is difficult to attack and defend here. There is no military garrison. Even if you can use a wooden bucket and rope to fetch water for drinking, the food and grass inside usually have to be transported, but transporting it from Sichuan and Sichuan is not an easy task.

A figure wearing a gray Confucian robe stood on a mountain peak on one side. Outside the valley, there were soldiers watching from a high place. Nearby, soldiers were doing some things in an orderly manner without any disorder. In the hands of these soldiers, there were jars of black oil, which were poured gently into the gaps between the rocks. The black oil slid down the mountain rocks, moistening the withered shrubs and grass, and even hiding under the yellow dust and gravel.

Zhuge Liang looked back at the busy soldiers, his expression slightly solemn.

According to the reports from the scouts, nearly half of the Di people from a large tribe were dispatched, and they rushed towards Jiangyou with great momentum. If they could not use this fire to burn most of the Di people's troops directly, they would not be able to wait until these Di people arrived in Sichuan and Shu. When the time comes, Xu Shu will inevitably be in trouble, and he may be in big trouble.

Huang Liang walked to Zhuge and whispered: "The scouts on the top of the mountain sent a signal, saying that they had discovered the smoke and dust from the Di people's forward... But it seems that the Di people's troops are very long..."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

It is not a good thing for the Di people's troops to be stretched too long.

It's very simple. Kerosene is not unlimited. How to use limited kerosene to trap more enemies and achieve maximum damage is undoubtedly a problem that needs to be carefully measured. Moreover, when Di Ren enters the kerosene area while traveling, there is a possibility that he will find traces of kerosene at any time...

These all need to be considered and arranged by Zhuge Liang.

Greed is part of human nature.

This desire that evolves into many aspects along with appetite can cause people to ignore dangers and fall into traps.

Very early on, Xu Shu discovered the connection between Li Miao and others and the Di people. Even the intelligence leaked by Wei Yan at that time was probably because of this route.

Some people who are not in a good position and are not high enough will naturally not be able to see the entire mountain.

Just like the chaos in Chengdu, it seems very sudden, but in fact the cause has been planted long ago...

The basis for the cooperation between Di people and Li people is based on interests.

The main point of benefit is tea.

Similarly, it was because of tea that the Di people and the general Fei Qian of the Hussars eventually took the hostile route.

In some places, tea is dispensable. Drinking more or less is nothing, but in some places, tea is a necessity of life, even more expensive than gold.

Such as snow areas.

Such as the desert.

Although the Ancient Tea Horse Road in Sichuan and Sichuan seems to have only four characters, it represents thousands of mountains and rivers, as well as endless wealth. Common tea bricks in Sichuan and Sichuan become more valuable as they pass through the Ancient Tea Horse Road and enter the snowy area, and can even be said to be comparable to gold bricks of the same weight.

Because there are few plants in snowy areas, long-term consumption of cheese, beef and mutton and other foods is difficult to digest due to hot weather, and the plant fiber intake is long-term deficient. Tea is needed to help digestion and defecation, and the demand is huge every year.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road is divided into two parts: the Shaanxi-Kangxi Line, also known as the Sichuan-Tibet Line, and the Yunnan-Tibet Line.

The Yunnan-Tibet Line is in the south of Yunnan and was formed and passed later, while the Shaanxi-Kangshan Line is the earliest ancient road formed, also known as the ancient road, which means a road that is traveled step by step.

It turns out that on this road, each has its own profit sharing, just like dealers subcontracting at different levels. The Di people are responsible for the transportation from Tianshui, Longyou and Longxi to Sichuan, and then Sichuan is responsible for the transportation from Guanghan to Kangding, and even further. For transportation in snow areas, there are also people who take the special route from Kangding to Qamdo, just like a baton, delivered section by section.

Walk the whole journey? Basically no. Because it is indeed too far, too difficult to walk, and the risk is too high, no one can bear it.

Then came the hussars.

Qiusi has re-established a business platform, which is almost equivalent to removing most of the middlemen and delivering it directly from the place of production to consumers...

Because whether it is from Longxi to Hanzhong, from Hanzhong to Sichuan, or from Sichuan to the snowy area, there are newly established caravans running. The profits that originally belonged to the Di and Sichuan natives are now being collected. Under the hussar!

Interests, people with the same interests can always get along well.

Who doesn’t like those golden little cuties?

When these little cuties fly away from their pockets, who doesn't feel regretful and resentful?

This is not a small amount. Think about it. There were originally so many middlemen, but now they all belong to Husband. The more he earned before, the more he hates Husband now. Therefore, the Li family of Guanghan finally and Di It is not surprising that people cooperate with each other and are even involved in Hanzhong.

"The Di people are scattered. If they are allowed to pass like this, it may be difficult to cause serious damage..." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "We need to lure them and make them form a group..."

Huang Liang cupped his hands and said, "I'm willing to go!" 』

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, nodded, and then stretched out his hand to gesture at the valley mouth behind him, "There is fire oil in this mountain road, you need to go to the valley mouth to install it...be careful..."

Huang Liang looked back, nodded solemnly, then gathered more than a hundred people and headed forward.

The enemies coming in droves were shocked when they saw Huang Liang's queue!

For Di people who are still at a relatively low level of military technology, perhaps the pig surprise tactic in the battle formation is their only tactical choice. The biggest tactical difference is just when to break out, or where. Just sudden.

Therefore, after meeting Huang Liang and others, they thought they had encountered an ambush. They were very panicked for a while, and looked around noisily. After a while, they found that there seemed to be only the soldiers led by Huang Liang...

So Di Ren felt that he had an advantage and had the numerical superiority, so he started to attack.

It has to be said that if one only considers the martial prowess of an individual soldier, the Di people are actually not that bad. After all, although the Di people are semi-farmers, they often hunt wild animals in the mountains and fight bears and tigers, and the brave ones among them are not. Although it was said that the soldiers suffered a loss due to their equipment, during the close combat, it really put a lot of pressure on Huang Liang and others.

Huang Liang originally planned to gradually lure these Di people into his hubby, so he took advantage of the Di people's momentum, pretended to be helpless, and gradually retreated towards the mountain road in the valley.

The primitive command system meant that Di Ren did not have much flexibility on the battlefield. Seeing Huang Liang and others retreating, few people thought of it as a trap, but subconsciously as if they were chasing prey, Di Ren shouted and followed. behind. Some Di people even wanted to climb over the rugged stone walls on both sides of the mountain road. However, because the stone walls were too steep, these Di people had to give up after climbing only half of the way at most, which made the queue of Di people even more chaotic. They got up until they reached the narrowest part of the mountain path, and even pushed each other, causing several Di people to be squeezed down the mountain path and fell into the mountain stream screaming...

Huang Liang and his guards stood on the mountain road as much as possible. The shield in his hand was smashed and slapped by the Di people on the opposite side. Even when he was pulling and dragging, he almost wanted to let go, and even caused his body to shake. If it weren't for the people behind him, The soldiers dragged Huang Liang and others by their belts to prevent any of them from losing their footing and falling into the mountain stream.

Seeing more and more Di people gradually pouring into the valley, Huang Liang shouted an order while releasing the shield in his hand, causing the Di people who had used the wrong strength to howl and fall down the mountain road, taking them with them. The two or three Di people behind also fell into the mountain stream together, making the Di people behind shrink back in fright!

Huang Liang took advantage of this gap, turned around and ran away!

Although Huang Liang and others gave way, the narrow place was like a bottleneck, making it difficult for Di people to pass quickly, and the subsequent ones continued to move forward, like pieces of meat quilt. Squeezed into the container...

At the other end, some fires were igniting one after another, and as the rockets shot into the air, these Di people jammed in the mountain road were destined to have a tragic ending!
