Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1241 Whose words are true

  The world is like the autumn wind, and life is like fallen leaves.

  Before he arrived in Bingbei, in the process of blind exile, during that unknown time, what Gao Ran often felt was a sense of desolation without foundation like duckweed. This feeling is not all for himself, but because he has seen from time to time the miserable life of the Han people after they became refugees.

  From the beginning of Heluo, he walked to Guanzhong step by step. He thought that he could start his life again near Chang'an, but he didn't expect that just under the capital where the big man used to be, what greeted him was a day of neither human nor ghost. A large number of refugees sold coolies for a bite to eat, and became slaves. Like animals, they opened their mouths and were naked. They were whipped and directed by people with wooden sticks, and they lived like corpses.

   Even worse than livestock, Gao Ran has seen refugees who are extremely hungry, silently exchange their own children, and then exchange for other people's children, put them in the pot, cook...

  Gao Ran was also hungry, dizzy with hunger and pain in his stomach, but he didn't dare to look at or eat such food.

  Gao Ran couldn't remember how long he had been walking, but he remembered the feeling of the first real food sliding from his mouth to his neck and into his stomach, the feeling of happiness that filled his whole body.

  He couldn't forget the skinny old man standing in front of him, and he couldn't forget the temperature of the bowl of porridge he took from his hand, which warmed his hands, his body, and even his soul again.

   Then he knew that this is the territory of General Zhengxi, and that old man is the master of General Zhengxi...

"Great sacrificial wine!" Gao Ran looked at the bright red blood emerging from between Cai Yong's chest and abdomen, and jumped on it, trying to cover the somewhat thin body with his body, and shouted in a mournful voice, "They killed the big sacrificial wine!" ! They killed the big sacrificial wine!"

  Cai Yong is not a saint, he also has selfishness, but in this aspect of knowledge inheritance, he is like a saint, selfless and generous.

  Jiang Hui stood among the students and saw Cai Yong's not very tall figure. When he fell to the sky, his heart was suddenly empty, as if he had lost a piece of something...

  Jiang Hui is not smart, at least not as smart as his parents said. This has been known since he started studying. He is very active, and it is not easy to calm down. Other children may only need to memorize an article once or twice, but he has to recite it three times, five times, or even ten or twenty times. .

  Sometimes because of misremembering the allusions and using the wrong chapters and being ridiculed by others, the embarrassment and shame are like being naked in the ice and snow.

  His family, his parents, all hope that there will be a child who can become the seed of reading, bring scriptures back to the family, and let knowledge be passed on in Jiang's blood, and Jiang Hui has become such a responsible person.

  Reading is slow, and the family has high expectations, which makes Jiang Hui very painful.

   Fortunately, Jiang Hui came to Bingbei and met Cai Yong.

The requirements of the academy are very strict, but the atmosphere in the academy is very good. As long as you meet a student, you will have any problems in the classics, no matter if it is an ordinary student doctor, or even the academy's sacrificial wine Linghu Shao, the great sacrificial wine Cai, etc. Yong, they are all the same. They teach with all their heart, lest they may not be clear and detailed.

  As long as Jiang Hui and other students make the slightest progress in their studies, Cai Yong and others will be happy for it.

Jiang Hui still remembers that when he imitated Ban Gu's Liangdu Fu and wrote a Pingyang Fu, Cai Yong commented on a big "good" word, and he went on stage to recite it at the assembly hall of the Xuegong Hall, although only some of the more exciting ones The rhetoric, but it also made Jiang feel as if he was drinking alcohol, and he became dizzy and smoky.

  It turns out that I am not incapable of reading, it turns out that I can also write good articles!

  That night, Jiang Hui was alone in the Taolin outside the academy, bowing down in the direction of his parents far away, crying bitterly, releasing the pressure that had accumulated on him for many years...

  It seems that from that time on, Jiang Hui began to feel that the words on the scriptures were not so hateful, and those originally obscure words gradually became vivid.

  However, Cai Yong, the high priest of the academy who used to be so happy because he wrote a good article, fell down in front of Jiang Hui.

   "Master! Master!"

  Linghu Shao cried, tears streaming down his face.

Linghu Shao hugged Cai Yong's body, knelt down on the ground, and kept crying towards the sky, his shoulders collapsed, his body kept shaking, snot and tears flowed down his beard, like a very wronged three-year-old The child wanted to say something but couldn't say it, so he could only cry and howl to express his inner sorrow.

  The sudden accident caused the soldiers of both sides to retreat back at the same time, leaving dozens of corpses lying on the mountain road in disorder.

   "Ah?" Zheng Tai's face was blank, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, unable to understand what happened in front of him, "Cai Zhonglang? Cai Zhonglang died? Cai Zhonglang died in front of the battle?"

  He just came to pick up the posthumous son of General Zhengxi, of course he also thought about facing Cai Yong, but Zheng Tai never thought about killing Cai Yong, this is a completely different matter! Shouldn't these soldiers from Zhengxi be killed, then rushed to the school palace, and then exposed Fei Qian and Cai Yan's affair in front of everyone, and finally took Cai Yan under the city in a grand manner, so that Pingyang City would collapse without attacking?

  How did Cai Yong appear here?

What should we do now?

   Zheng Tai's head was buzzing, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

   For a moment, Zheng Tai had the idea of ​​killing people and silencing his mouth. As long as the whole school is slaughtered, maybe no one will know about it...

But soon, Zheng Tai gave up this flawed idea, because even though he was willing to take the risk of offending Bingbei, Hedong, and even Sili gentry and kill all the students in the academy, his soldiers would not kill him. Talk about this matter? Is it difficult for me to also exterminate these soldiers? Will Wu Qiuxing agree and support him without hesitation?

  If half of the news leaks out, under the raging public opinion, will Guild Yang choose the overall situation, or Zheng Tai himself?

In the face of the suddenly emotional and rushing school students, Zheng Tai didn't dare to order the soldiers to kill them regardless. He could only temporarily withdraw the soldiers from the mountain road. After all, if you kill Cai Yong, you still have a chance. Let me explain, if all the students in the academy were massacred, Yang Biao would be the next to be killed in order to appease the grievances of the gentry...

  ……………

  Hedong.

   Not long after Commander Guanqiu Xing and the soldiers outside Anyi city in Hedong went north, several old men gathered in Wei's mansion in Anyi city.

Although Hongnong County is only separated by a big river, many disasters have been avoided because of this big river. The Qiang rebellion from the west seldom came to the east of the river, and even the Xianbei who went south was often in Changshan, Xihe County. The county and other places plundered, even if they came to Hedong, they would return north soon, so Hedong has always been relatively stable.

  In the city of Anyi in Hedong County, the houses have white walls and black eaves, alternating high and low, and the best scenery is the area near the Fenshui River.

  There are many high-end courtyards here, all of which are set up on the banks of the Fenshui River, and Wei's mansion naturally occupies the most beautiful stone bank and the most beautiful forest on the banks of the Fenshui River.

  At this moment, in the small building deep in the Wei Garden, the draped silk curtain covered the light from outside, and also blocked the candlelight from the darkness inside the small building.

Mrs. Wei sat at the head, raised Lada's eyelids, looked around at the other four Haoshou old men on the left and right, sighed, and said slowly: "The heavens have mercy, before the old man goes to the earth, he will finally see the one who is in the north." Change."

  The old man on the first left said calmly: "The current policy has been decided many years ago, and we have never forgotten the humiliation of the past, but there are some details that still need to be carefully considered."

  Old Master Wei nodded, and said: "The specific affairs will naturally be carried out by the children of the clan one by one. We, the Wei family, have lived in Hedong for many years, and there will definitely be no problems."

   "What the Great Elder said is true. There is another matter, my children also have a little bit, either in Pingyang City, or in the school, and now the incident happened suddenly... Can you talk to General Wuqiu and take care of it?"

"At this moment, how can we focus on the present moment first, and get entangled in side details..." The old man Wei said indifferently, "Your gentleman, Wei Duo, his country is invincible! How could a certain Hedong Wei family ever cherish their lives? What's more, General Wuqiu and I What's the use of seeking each other even if we have no contact with each other?"

Seeing the complex expressions of those Haoshou old men, Mrs. Wei smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face squirmed a few times, and said: "You don't need to be sad, if the war goes well now... After we control Hedong, we can't say that in Pingyang City, not only The children are not harmed, and there are some extra benefits..."

   "It's just... Will this battle go well?"

"Duke Yang lost his halberd earlier, so he was naturally unwilling to do so. Now, he raised his troops to march northward, and it took a long time to plan. Although the expedition to the west is brave, it is arrogant and arrogant. Now that it has fallen to Longyou, its tent will inevitably be in chaos. Now General Wuqiu is leading the army. Going north, Pingyang will undoubtedly fall. As long as we take this opportunity to seize the head of the king's thief, we can regain the authority of Hedong. What can I do? If I can’t say it, I still need to thank us and get rid of my worries.”

"Speaking of which, I have to thank General Zhengxi... If the Wang family's thieves weren't afraid of Zhengxi, how could they be so indecisive and worse than Duke Yang? Now that General Wuqiu is going north to supervise the battle, Duke Yang is also dissatisfied. "

   "Hehe, really."

   "If Zhengxi hadn't died, General Wuqiu came to lead the army, and the king's thief thought he was safe and sound. How could he have transferred all the county soldiers to the north to have such a great opportunity with us? This is really a peck and a drink, and it is the fate of the day."

Old Mr. Wei smiled and said happily: "Haha, after we are done, we will definitely build a stone monument by the Fenshui River. At that time, don't forget to add Zhengxi's name to indicate that Wang Thief died in Zhengxi." The Hand of the West..."

"Ha ha…"

  In the small building, the happy laughter of the old people resounded.

The Hedong Wei clan, and many local tyrants, have existed for a much longer time than any county guard. Relying on the various etiquette constraints within the clan, the local gentry Haoyou in the Han Dynasty always maintained the right Because of the strong cohesion within the Han Dynasty, and because of the official recommendation system that lasted for three to four hundred years in the Han Dynasty, the place was often run by these gentry tyrants like a piece of iron. It can only touch the outermost layer of existence, but cannot penetrate deep into its core.

   It was like Qian Wei coveted every move. Although the old man Wei didn't show up, it doesn't mean he didn't know anything about it. Wei Ji is the heir of the Patriarch that Wei Shi is optimistic about, but unfortunately, Wei Ji has not been able to successfully complete his trial.

  So Wei Ke had to pay the due price for his own arrogance or carelessness, and the staff of Wei Ke Yifang became impoverished as a result, losing the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

  Geckos have their tails broken, and sea cucumbers vomit their intestines. Although they look miserable, they are actually the normal way for these creatures to save their lives, and so is Wei Shi.

Although the Wei family has retreated again and again, it seems that they have lost their fortunes and the staff are in distress, but these are only superficial. During the operation of the Hedong Wei family for so many years, it has infiltrated almost all aspects. How can it be compensation for some money and things? Can it be completely defeated?

Originally, there were still some soldiers under Wang Yi's direct command in Anyi City, but now they have followed Wu Qiuxing for more than half of the time. In addition, the Wei family also knew that Wang Yi did not dare to offend Yang Biao over the years, and on the other hand, he was afraid of conquering Yang Biao. General Xi, then tried his best to maintain the balance between the two aspects, seemingly pleasing the left and right, but actually offended both sides...,

   Now, Wei believes that Wang Yi should spit out all the tail and intestines that were given to Wang Yi before.

  The afternoon sun is shining brightly, and the autumn wind is refreshing.

  Anyi City Shoufu, in accordance with the usual practice, convened the officials of the Yamen to discuss the autumn harvest and arrange the transportation of grain and grass to other matters.

   All officials are here as ordered.

   Before getting into the formal topic, the school captain Anyi Xuncheng stumbled over and reported that there were suspected soldiers in the city who had been conquered from the west and had gathered to cause chaos!

  Wang Yi was shocked and ordered the city gates to be closed and searched throughout the city!

  The officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Just as Wang Yi sent the last of his directly subordinate soldiers to quell the chaos in the city, the backyard of the government office suddenly caught fire, and it was in chaos!

  The Wei family's private soldiers, who had been in ambush for a long time, rushed into the government office under the pretense of fighting the fire and closed the gate. Immediately, there was a burst of furious scolding in the Anyi government office, and then a sudden cry of distress was heard!

  Blood stained the bluestone slab red, seeping out slowly from under the copper-nailed government gate...

With a sound of "bang", the closed government office was pushed back, and then someone rushed out, covered in blood, and shouted loudly: "The remnant of Zhengxi sneaked into the government office in disguise and assassinated Wang Shijun! "
