Chapter 3407 It’s None of My Business
Chapter 3406 It’s none of my business
Ju Hu knew exactly what Liu Zhi was thinking, because Ju Hu himself had had such an experience.
"When Yuan Gong was in charge of Jizhou, the people of Jizhou could still survive. Now that Cao Gong is visiting Jizhou, what will happen to the people of Jizhou?" ” Juhu said in a deep voice, “Where are the fourth and third Dukes of Yuan Gong, where is Cao Gong? Three years and four recruitments! How miserable is Jizhou? ! 』
Liu Zhi remained silent.
Are ordinary people in Jizhou suffering?
In fact, it has always been very bitter, but the gentry in Jizhou were not. They were very happy at first, but unexpectedly, after Cao Cao came, the Yuzhou people suppressed the Jizhou people intentionally or unintentionally, which really made the Jizhou people feel very uncomfortable.
"Homeland, what is homeland?" ” Juhu said, “The purpose of the Hsiu cavalry coming now is not to massacre Jizhou. However, Duke Cao refused, and the lives of Jizhou were all wasted.” What's more, when employing people on a hussar, they don't always care about their background, but only their talents. If you can help the Hussar to pacify Jizhou, this achievement will be enough to uplift the family and regain glory. It can also save Jizhou from the suffering of swordsmen, save tens of millions of people, and revitalize the Han Dynasty. It can be said that you have both loyalty and righteousness. 』
Liu Zhi did not reply on the spot, but thought about it all night, still a little hesitant.
Liu Zhi had some idea of who General Fei Qian was.
If Fei Qian could only be regarded as a local prince in a corner before, he is now qualified to aspire to the Central Plains. The most critical point is, of course, that Fei Qian cannot successfully control the Central Plains, otherwise he will be like Yuan Shao back then, with a glorious personality. Three to five years...
Ju Hu sounds nice, but isn’t it actually the same for the Ju family?
When Ju Shou was under Yuan Shao's command, how prosperous was the Ju family?
If Fei Qian is able to stand firm in the Central Plains, it makes sense to invest in Hussar. If Fei Qian just wants to weaken Cao Cao's strength and run away after a fight, then he will definitely be implicated in the aftermath after he invests, so he has been unable to do so. determination.
Juhu didn’t have time to wait.
He came to Liu Zhi just because Liu Zhi seemed to him to be the most likely, not because Liu Zhi had to do anything.
So on the next day, Juhu simply found Liu Zhi. He stopped talking about the world situation and other exciting things, and just said that Cao Jun had not done anything good in the past few years. This time, the Youzhou Army probably did not do anything good. If you can't stop the Hussars, will Cao Cao care about you as a defender, or will he go all out to protect Yuzhou?
If Liu Zhi doesn't make a choice now, can Youzhou be saved? Youzhou cannot be defended, and the Hussar Northern Territory Army will soon reach Jizhou. Is the pass here to Liu Zhi still that important? By then, how many of your soldiers will follow you and stay here? If you don't make a decision quickly now, then just wait here to die.
Liu Zhi was not angry because of Ju Hu's words, but asked Ju Hu, did the Qiaoqi really want to capture Jizhou?
Ju Hu did not answer directly, but asked Liu Zhi, if Qiaoqi did not have this intention, then why did he send the Northern Territory Army to attack Youzhou? Even if Cao Cao wants to defend Jizhou now, can he be able to defend it? Once Youzhou is lost, Jizhou will have no northern barrier!
Not only that, but what did Cao Jun gain from his previous massive attack on Guanzhong?
Not to mention the consumption of food and fodder, even Xiahou Dun was captured by the Hussar...
"Xiahou Yuanrang was also arrested?" Liu Zhi's eyes widened, "Didn't you refute the rumors before?" 』
Juhu sneered.
Liu Zhi was silent for a while and then said, "If Qiaoqi enters Jizhou, I..."
Ju Hu said rudely: "Under the hussar, a capable warrior is like a crucian carp crossing a river!" Moreover, the system of hussar is especially focused on military merit! If...hehe, if you want to get merit again, you really have to fight for your life on the battlefield! 』
Liu Zhi took a breath of cold air.
People are like this. When you have something, you don’t feel it’s worth anything, but when you lose it, you feel regretful.
Liu Zhi was finally persuaded by Ju Hu and was willing to surrender.
…
…
When Gongsun Zan built Yijing, he wanted to unify the country, but it was just a fragment of his dream on the castle tower.
Now Yi Jing lives up to its name, having changed its owner twice, and the third defender is about to face the same fate as the previous two...
The general stationed in Yi Jing is Lou Yi.
Lou Yi has followed Cao Cao very early, and his body is already marked by Cao Cao. There is no problem with his loyalty, but his personal ability is average, so he can only serve as a second-line guard and cannot command the first-line troops alone. Conduct the main battle.
But things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Yi Jing would now become the center of contention, with turbulent undercurrents surging!
Lou Yi was also anxious when he heard that Youzhou was under attack, but it was useless for him to be anxious himself.
He could only pray, set up sentries everywhere, and sent messages to Jizhou repeatedly for help...
But Lou Yi never expected that the reinforcements from Jizhou did not come, but the "rebels" from Jizhou did.
At the end of the You hour and the beginning of the Xu hour, it was cloudy and dark.
The setting sun barely managed to pass through the dark clouds and cast its rays on this piece of land. After announcing that it had done its best, Shi Shiran ended up going back to the mountain to rest.
There is still tomorrow anyway.
It's too late today, try your best tomorrow.
Like many sneak attacks, Wei Yan still likes to be on the front line.
He is now half squatting and half kneeling in the wild grass, holding a telescope and looking at the sentries of Yi Jing in the distance.
There are quite a few sentries outside Yijing!
Youzhou is in chaos, and there are only a few pedestrians. It is not suitable for a large group of people like me to leave...
But it's not impossible.
Wei Yan's eyes were calm and his expression was calm, as if this sneak attack was just an ordinary outing or ordinary training.
The soldiers following Wei Yan were also waiting quietly and patiently for orders.
The weeds were only knee-high, so most of the soldiers had to squat or crawl like Wei Yan to hide themselves.
Maintaining this posture will obviously not make people feel comfortable.
Therefore, many soldiers will subconsciously find something fun to kill the boredom of waiting time.
The old horse head behind Wei Yan was catching an insect from near the grass root, and then stuffed the insect into an ant's hole. He watched the ant climb up the insect bit by bit, and then desperately tried to drag the insect into the hole. Inside, because the hole is too small and the bug is too big, it is stuck there...
Suddenly, I heard some rapid chirping of birds in the distance.
Lao Ma Tou immediately lowered his body, turned his head and saw that the people around him, including Wei Yan, were also lying low in the grass.
The wind blew through the wild grass, making a rustling sound.
In the direction of the main road away from Yi Jing, two riders came. When they reached the crooked neck tree on the grass hill, they stopped in confusion, looking left and right, as if they were looking for something...
Wei Yan made a low buzzing sound from his mouth. The old horse understood and crawled out from the grass. Then he stood up on the side of the road and said hello.
Only then did the two riders realize that someone was standing behind them, and they were startled. However, they also knew that they were the people waiting for them, so they quickly asked a few questions, and after getting the code, they brought the person they had brought with them. The bamboo tube was handed to the old horse, and then he immediately hit the horse and whirled away, as if he was avoiding something, or was afraid of something.
Lao Ma stood still until he heard a few more melodious bird songs, then he came back and handed the bamboo tube he got to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan checked the fire paint on the bamboo tube and smiled when he saw the brand on the fire paint.
Wei Yan was very familiar with this brand, it was the mark of the Ju family.
After taking apart the fire paint, inside the bamboo tube was a "complete", "normative" and "standard" Cao Jun's dispatching order!
In this Cao Jun writing, Wei Yan's "identity" is clearly stated!
With such a piece of Cao Jun's writing, Wei Yan now has a new identity.
"Hey, this thing..." Lao Ma Tou said from the side, "I don't know how it was made..."
Wei Yan laughed, then turned around and said, "Gao, come here!" 』
…
…
Gao Rou didn't know whether she should feel lucky or unlucky.
Since he was captured by Wei Yan, he followed Wei Yan all the way around. His mood was like that of a small sampan in the stormy sea, enjoying going up and down. However, after a long time, Gao Rou gradually became confused. He is now Which party should be considered?
Cao Jun’s?
But if Cao Cao really knew what he had done, he would still be able to die ten times...
So he's considered a hussar?
But I don’t even have a serious status in the Hussars...
Thinking of this, Gao Rou couldn't help but ask Wei Yan with a shy face, "General, I... what is my status now?" 』
Wei Yan walked behind Gao Rou and smiled when he saw Gao Rou asking, "What else is your identity? Isn't it written in this line... Captain!" County Captain! 』
"No, no, no," Gao Rou curled her lips, "I'm not asking that, I mean, how can I be considered a hussar now... There is hard work without merit, so can I be considered a hussar now?" When the time comes, the hussars will come, me, me..."
Wei Yan patted Gao Rou on the shoulder and said, "Do you need to say this?" Are you afraid that someone will take your credit? You underestimate me too much! 』
Gao Rou repeatedly said she didn't dare.
Wei Yan patted again, "We're almost there!" There are sentries ahead, show your style! 』
Gao Rou responded, then turned her head, coughed twice, raised her head slightly, exposed her nostrils, and walked forward.
It was already the beginning of Haishi, and a crescent moon in the night sky was hidden behind dark clouds. The cool moonlight peeked out from the edge of the clouds from time to time, illuminating a small piece of blue-white sky.
The earth was dark, and except for the fire at the Yijing Pass, there were dark and hazy shadows everywhere.
"stop! stop! 』
As Gao Rou and others gradually approached, the soldiers on duty at the outer gate of Yijing started shouting and swaying their torches, trying to illuminate Gao Rou, Wei Yan and his party on the road.
"Stand by your mother!" You fucking howl! ” Gao Rou greeted the soldiers on duty at Yi Jing checkpoint very politely, “Is there anything to eat or drink? My belly feels like my chest is touching my back! 』
Being scolded by Gao Rou so bluntly, the soldier at the sentry post didn't know what to say, and the bow and arrow in his hand lowered subconsciously.
Because Jizhou has been disturbed by Wei Yan for a period of time, many peripheral checkpoints and beacons have been set up in many places, especially at important city gates, to warn unknown teams.
This checkpoint outside Yijing was obviously newly built.
The team leader at the checkpoint took a closer look by the firelight, especially when he saw Gao Rou's nostrils raised high, an inexplicable feeling of familiarity suddenly came to his heart, and he quickly got down from the defensive position and shouted. Haha said: "Ah, haha, thank you for your hard work, Shangguan. You came here in such a hurry... but you don't know why?" 』
"Why?" You fucking have the nerve to ask! The hussars have invaded, how can you people defend it? ah? ” Gao Rou took out the text from her arms and shook it, “Look! Asking for help every day, he can only ask for help. When I come with people, you ask me what I am doing here? ! What do you think I'm doing here? ! 』
The long list of Gao Rou can be described as majestic and full of energy.
Wei Yan frowned slightly behind him.
Because this performance is a bit overdone...
However, the team leader at the sentry did not notice anything unusual at all. Not only did he glance at the text briefly, he didn't even bother to check it, let alone check on Wei Yan and others.
"Thank you, Shangguan, thank you for your hard work, Shangguan..." The team leader nodded and bowed, "Look at my checkpoint, it's so simple that even if the wind blows, it can be seen from all sides!" Everything to eat is brought in from the city every day, so there really isn’t any leftover! Moreover, the place here is small. Even if Shangguan wants to stretch his legs, he can't straighten his legs... Shangguan, look, we are almost there... Shangguan walks along the road and passes the next sentry post before entering the city. If he walks smoothly, It's hard to say that you can still go to the city to eat breakfast. Isn't it more comfortable than being in the wilderness like me? 』
Gao Rou secretly glanced at Wei Yan while taking back the writing. When Wei Yan nodded slightly, he coughed and said, "If you don't have anything to eat, you must have some water!" Get some water bladders! 』
As a result, there was no water bag, so I just filled two bags of water beside the bucket, then hurriedly passed the checkpoint and headed towards Yijing.
After Gao Rou, Wei Yan and others left, the team leader at the checkpoint lowered his face and snorted with a sneer.
"Team leader, these people are a bit suspicious..." A soldier from Cao's army came forward and said, "How can a Jizhou guy be so active and diligent?" Starry Night is on the road...and there are no complaints...it should be checked carefully..."
The captain glanced sideways at the soldiers and said, "Oh! What a capable boy you are! So tell me, what should we do? 』
The soldier said: "We should light the beacon fire to warn the city!" 』
The team leader looked deeply at the soldier, "Then...why didn't you say it just now?" 』
The soldier hadn't noticed anything yet, "Just now?" Weren't you talking about the team leader just now? 』
"oh oh. Blame me, blame me! ” The team leader laughed, and then pulled the soldier aside, “Oh, tell me, why didn’t I discover your talent earlier? 』
The soldier reacted at first and thought that the captain was really praising him and was still being modest. However, after taking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong, because the further he walked, the deeper he walked into the shadows...
"Team leader...ah!" 』
The soldier still wanted to ask, but suddenly he felt a coldness in his chest and abdomen, and then a heat. When he looked down, he saw a shining short blade piercing his chest and abdomen!
"What are you going to do?" ! You want to be a deserter! ” The team leader shouted indiscriminately, as if fighting for the air, “Damn it! Do you still want to kill me? ! Ahhhh! Someone come! Someone is coming! 』
The subordinates directly under the team leader heard this and rushed over with knives and torches.
"This thief wants to escape!" ” The team leader shook his shirt and said, “You still want to harm someone! Fortunately, he was punished by someone! 』
The subordinates directly under the team leader looked at it, reacted, waved torches and shouted: "It's okay!" fine! There is a deserter! There are deserters! He was killed on the spot! It’s okay! It's all gone, gone! 』
The soldier was not fully dead yet. Hearing these shouts, he fell to the ground, furious and still confused, "Why...why..."
The team leader squatted down, looked at the soldier and said, "Are you the only one smart?" Have you ever fucking thought about why our sentry post only has a wooden wall, a stretch of thatched huts, and a few barren horses? What the hell is this? Have the gentlemen in the city ever thought about how we would defend ourselves if we really encountered something? ! They are just asking us to come out and die! Just light the beacon like you said! As for whether we live or die, who cares? Who the hell cares? ! 』
"you……"
"You bastard!" ” The leader snorted coldly, “Do you really think I’m stupid? If you realize something is wrong, don't say it to your face, but come and let me light the fire behind your back! That's right, your credit is wrong, I'm going to hold you accountable! Pooh! You are worthy of playing tricks on me! 』
The team leader waved his hand and said to his direct subordinates, "Move far away, find a hole, bury him, and put him to rest!" It can be regarded as a comrade! 』
The team leader and his cronies agreed, dragging the soldier out.
"Those people...are there really something wrong?" 』
A close aide of the team leader asked.
The team leader was silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled, "The last time you opened your belly and ate meat and drank wine...do you still remember?" 』
"ah? Team leader, why do you want to do this? ” The team leader’s cronies were in a trance, “It’s been a long time... After defeating Gongsun’s army, there was a banquet held by Yuan Gong under the city, and everyone had plenty of food and wine... I remember it just once, but it didn’t happen again... These days Every year, military pay is less than a year, but this food and wine is more expensive every year! 』
The team leader laughed and said, "Yes, but you also know that those dignitaries... ate meat and drank wine until they vomited, and they were not willing to give some to us... So, how much military salary is it for?" How many things! Others don't treat us as human beings. If we don't care about our own lives, then no one really cares about us... Do you understand? 』
"Understood! The team leader is right! "The team leader's confidant said, "But, let's just let them pass... will everything be okay? 』
"What can happen?" ” Team leader laughed and said, “Anyway, they have written articles... What do you think can happen? If anything happens, it's none of our business! Okay, while it’s still early, go back and get some sleep..."
Everyone was speechless, so they all walked back.
The team leader looked up at the sky and saw a large area of black sky. The moon had long since disappeared.
The team leader couldn't help but sneered, "What a nice weather!" 』
"ah? Is the weather nice? 』
The team leader smiled and said, "Good weather for sleeping!" 』
"That's true..."
