Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2506 A castle

  The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, but what about people in a hurry?

   Not only can jump the wall, but also go to the sky!

  Wubao, in fact, was not originally used to fight against the court. Just like most inventions and research are not actually used to kill people, such as nuclear energy, or biochemistry...

  In the very beginning, Wubao was helpless. Because the court has no way to manage the local area, not only the border may be breached by the nomads at any time, but there are even thieves and bandits who do evil in the local area. As soon as these bandits came, most of the county officials ran away immediately, so that in the end they could only be defended by the country gentry, forcing some powerful families in the local area to build docks to defend themselves.

  So, from this point of view, Wubao was good at first.

  But what China lacks most is good methods, good policies, and finally give examples of things that go wrong and go bad.

If it weren't for Fei Qian, um, what, under the skirt of Miss History, it would be impossible to say that the buttocks of the landlord class would not be crooked, and they would still sit steadily until the small peasant economy and the closed country developed to its peak .

  The landlord class must encourage the small-scale peasant economy and the gentry self-government, and it does not have any meaning of complete integration when ceding land like Wubao, which is caused by its characteristics. The contradiction between big landlords and small landlords is more reflected in the internal competition for arable land. The lack of progress and lack of motivation for technological innovation will inevitably become subsequent secondary disasters.

  In the original history, Wubao, or the combat effectiveness of soldiers in counties and counties, was quite worrying. Regardless of whether it was the Han and Tang Dynasties or the Song and Ming Dynasties, as long as the Central Forbidden Army was defeated, the soldiers in the counties and counties below would simply be a puddle of mud, with little combat effectiveness at all. The soldiers of these counties and counties are cruel when oppressing the people, and bend their knees when facing foreign enemies, so that Wubao can only protect a small part of the Chinese nation forever, while most of the people are harvested again and again .

  So it can be said that Huaxia’s tragedy in the later period was not a disaster caused by foreign guns and cannons suddenly falling from the sky, but a dead end that Huaxia walked out of the fields step by step.

  That's why Fei Qian wants to change Huaxia's thinking...

move forward.

   As long as you stride forward, where is not the front?

  When there are difficulties, try to find a way to overcome them.

  There are mountains, open them, meet water, build them,

   It’s like facing such a fortress. If you want to conquer it before, you have to spend some hands and feet, and you have to kill some people. It may feel that the gain is not worth the loss. It is a difficult problem.

   Then dodge when encountering difficult problems?

  Go around?

  Feel impossible, then become unnecessary, and finally give up?

  Now, Xiahou Dun is facing such a problem, or a problem in the past.

According to the old method, if two thousand Xiahou soldiers attack a Wubao, it is not impossible, but it is more difficult, so when Xiahou Dun arrived at a Wubao of the Xun family with his troops, some soldiers came back to report : "The gates of Xunshiwu Fort are closed tightly, and all the young and strong are going to the city to guard the city. It seems that they have the intention of rejecting me!" 』

  Xiahou Dun couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "As expected! Such people are really unrepentant! 』

  The Xun family is not just Xun Yu alone. When Xun Shuang wanted to recommend Xun Yu to be the head of the family, some people blatantly opposed it, and they were also Xun Shuang's brothers. Therefore, to a certain extent, the Xun family is the Xun family, and Xun Yu is Xun Yu. number. But in the past few years, the Xun family has really made a lot of money by using Xun Yu's name.

  Xiahou Dun came here this time to give the Xun family a chance.

   And now it's clear these guys don't want that opportunity.

  Cao Tai, who was beside Xiahou Dun, laughed, "Maybe we are begging for a living." 』

  Cao Tai is the eldest son of Cao Ren.

  Xiahou Dun cast a scornful glance at Cao Tai, and said, "We all have the banner of a great Han, how can we beg for it?" 』

  Cao Tai sneered and said: "Yingchuan is so rich that all the people in the world beg for a living." 』

  The two rode forward, and they arrived in front of Xunshiwubao in a short time.

   This is a dock of Xun Yu's fifth uncle.

  Xiahou Dun looked up, and saw crowds of people on Wubao, but most of them had no helmets or armor, and they were only young, as the scouts said before.

  『Can such a young man be able to withstand swords? Xiahoudun looked at Wubao and said with a sneer, "Or...do you think I won't dare to attack? 』

  Cao Tai waved his arm forward, "Come on!" Go forward and shout! 』

   Immediately, a soldier came under Wubao and shouted loudly, asking the people of Wubao to open the door.

  But after shouting three times in a row, there was only restlessness on the Wubao, but no door opened, and no one came out to talk.

  Xiahou Dun chuckled.

   Sure enough.

  Xun Yu's fifth uncle naturally claimed to be the mainstay of the Xun family, especially after Xun Shuang's death. And Xun Wang also thinks that he should receive more preferential treatment at such an age.

  Although these years have not yet reached the extreme situation where there are no poor families in the upper ranks and no noble families in the lower ranks, the views of the sects are already relatively deep. If it is divided according to 1 to 100, 60 or more is regarded as a noble family, and the Xun family in Yingchuan is at least 80 points. Like Chen, Guo, and Zhong, they are all at least four or five points lower than the Xun family.

   As for Kong, because the people are too mixed, the score is even lower.

In these gentry systems, each has its own ideas, some are relatively conservative, and some will explore the future, but I don't know if it's because of age or because of geographical restrictions. Anyway, Xun Wang didn't feel that he What's wrong with making money with your own clansmen.

  Why can’t you make money with your own ability?

  So when Xiahou Dun came, Xun Wang still felt that he could not bow his head.

  Xiahou Dun nodded to Cao Tai, Cao Tai bowed his hand to return the salute, then he led some soldiers forward, stood a stone's throw away from the Wubao, looked at the people on the Xunshi Wubao, and said loudly:

  『Prime Minister has an order, and ordinary scholars should ask their hearts. There are three things you can’t laugh at in life: don’t laugh at natural disasters, don’t laugh at man-made disasters, and don’t laugh at diseases. 』

  『There are three things that should never be humiliated: a teacher who educates people, a doctor who saves people, and an army who protects the country. 』

  『In the annals of thousands of years, there are three things that cannot be forgiven: ministers who harm the country, generals who harm the army, and thieves who harm the people. 』

  『There are three things you can’t avoid in hiding in the countryside: ask for orders for the people, go to disaster for the country, and accept orders in times of crisis. 』

  『Business and property purchase, there are three things that cannot be plundered: wealth from national disasters, benefits from natural disasters, food for the poor and weak. 』

"Today there is Xun Wang of the Xun family who takes advantage of natural disasters, fakes man-made disasters, humiliates the army of the country, and robs the people of their food. If you don't know how to repent, you should be punished! 』

  『This order! 』

   Xun Wang on Wubao couldn't bear it after all, and yelled, "Blood... blood spurting... fake, all fake..."

  Cao Tai sneered twice, and waved his hands to signal the soldiers to come forward.

   Immediately, Cao's soldiers raised their shields and stepped forward in formation, while the Wubao also began to shoot arrows downward, and began to throw stones and shovels downward.

  However, these measures did not effectively prevent the approach of Cao Jun as the Xun's children imagined. These battle-hardened soldiers quickly evaded their attacks, and no one was even injured under the rolling stones!

Because the movement of these Xun's disciples is really too slow, the entire forward swing from lifting the pole to putting it down is too long, so that Cao Jun's soldiers can issue commands slowly, change direction, and then they can be unscathed avoided the...

As for ordinary bows and arrows, although they look good when shot down, they are all uneven, and when these Xun's children usually practice, most of them are shooting fixed targets. For moving targets like Cao's soldiers He couldn't adapt well, so that seven or eight out of ten arrows missed. Even if a few arrows hit, there were shields and armor, which could not directly cause serious damage to Cao's soldiers.

   All of this, like the strong dock they boasted, is actually just indestructible in their self-perception. As Cao's soldiers dug a hole under the gate of Wubao under the cover of their shields, and buried gunpowder, everything became a foregone conclusion.

  With a bang, the gate of Xunwang's Wubao collapsed, as if something was also collapsing...

   On the other side, Jiangdong also has some Wubao.

  In Jiangbei, which can be regarded as the Huaisi area, there is a Wubao, if only in terms of the size of its area, it is hardly under the county seat, and it can accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people in an emergency.

   Of course, this place called Chenjiabao, even when it was the most prosperous, did not reach a population of 20,000 to 30,000. Now, under the successive battles, the number of households has been reduced a lot. The people guarded by Wubao, including those within the vicinity, are only about 2,000 households, which is close to 10,000 people.

However, in this area where most forces are not fully able to set foot in, this Chenjiabao can be said to be a considerable force. If necessary, it can pull out two thousand peasants and soldiers, of which two to three percent are armed. Hundreds of people with armor, this is undoubtedly the largest armed force in the surrounding area.

  The owners of Wubao are two brothers, both surnamed Chen. It is said that people from the Chen family of Yingchuan migrated here.

   But in fact, they have nothing to do with the Yingchuan Chen family, it's just that the two Chen brothers borrowed the name of the Yingchuan Chen family.

The large-scale southward migration of the Yingchuan gentry happened after the Jin Dynasty. At this point in time, most of the Yingchuan gentry were still living in Yuzhou, fell in love with Boss Cao, and did not move out much. of.

Therefore, the so-called Chen family of Yingchuan, the so-called Chen family of Yingchuan, can only be regarded as a "cold branch" at best. superior. Probably at a certain time period, maybe they were kidnapped during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then Zhang Jiao and others failed, and the Yellow Turban had no future, and then some of them were intercepted by the two Chen brothers, and then a group of refugees were gathered , probably developed.

  Because it is relatively remote and has no strategic value that must be attacked, neither Cao Jun nor Jiangdong has the desire to fight.

Therefore, the two Chen brothers naturally became wall-sitters. Cao Cao is here, Boss Cao is good, Sun Quan is here, and Sun Dadi is good. It feels bad, swinging from side to side, it's like being squeezed dry by two sticks...

After all, a landlord without an official position is actually no different from an ordinary farmer to a certain extent. They cannot escape the fate of being bullied and ravaged by the powerful. The reason why the Chen family can stand out and gather tens of thousands of people is not because the two Chen brothers He has extraordinary talent, one is because the Yellow Turban Bandit also wanted to survive before, and only the two Chen brothers knew some overall planning, and the other is because they are just on the edge, and no one cares about them.

  But the two Chen brothers are getting older. They have children, and they are always wondering whether they can't stay in this remote place forever? According to the traditional theory of Confucianism, the monarch does not need too much ability, because the ability is strong without restraint, and it is easy to become self-willed and arbitrary, which will actually mess up the country. The only gift a monarch must possess is the ability to identify and appoint wise ministers, and then those ministers will actually manage the country. A minister has a monarch who can restrain him and remove him at any time. The best representative of this set of theories is Duke Huan of Qi’s early days, he just ate, drank and had fun in the inner palace, and took a boat trip on the lake with his concubines. As long as he appointed and absolutely trusted the virtuous ministers Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, the country would naturally rule.

  At the moment of Dahan, there is still such a thinking market, and the two Chen brothers are one of them. Consciously managed such a large territory by himself, and with such a large population, although he is not a great sage, he still has a share in the sages, but in the end, there is no place for him in the court?

  Before when Sun Quan marched, the two Chen brothers hadn't thought about serving, but in the end they still felt that they had to wait and see again. They just sent some cattle, wine and property as a token of loyalty, which was regarded as a exchange for peace. Who would have thought that not long after, there would be news that the Jiangdong Army had withdrawn...

  The boss of the Chen family couldn't help but patted his brother on the shoulder and praised him repeatedly, expressing that fortunately he listened to the second child's advice and waited a little longer, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion. It would be fine if the Jiangdong soldiers were able to occupy the Huaisi area directly, but it turned out to be aggressive, and they withdrew after a while. If the two Chen brothers had joined forces before, they must not follow Sun Quan to Jiangdong?

  But who would be willing to let down such a big Wubao, so many fields, and the scenery that can run wild in this piece of countryside?

   And on this day, things changed again.

  Someone from the Cao family came to contact him, expressing his willingness to accept the two brothers of the Chen family, and even promised to give him a certain official position.

  Of course, this condition is also reasonable, after all, no one would say that there is no requirement for benefits.

  The two brothers of the Chen family didn't think too much about it. They felt that they could take advantage of it, so they agreed. Consciously, you can get rid of some official positions first, and at worst, take the official positions given by Cao Cao and go to Jiangdong to negotiate terms instead, which is simply flattering.

   However, the envoys from Cao Cao’s side were not stupid, saying that the two brothers of the Chen family had to pay some “voting certificates” in order to believe their sincerity...

  The two brothers of the Chen family summed it up, and felt that if the opportunity is not seized, this shop will disappear after passing this village!

  Anyway, let’s talk about it first, as for the future, after Cao Cao’s envoy leaves, don’t you have the final say?

  So in accordance with the instructions of Cao Cao's envoy, two large flags were erected, one was the flag of Cao's family belonging to Cao Cao, and the other was the meaning of despising Jiangdong.

What? How does the flag show contempt? Do you not know how to write the four characters "Jiangdong Xiaoer"?

The two Chen brothers consciously felt that their home was far away anyway, so the banner was erected to fool Cao Cao's envoy, and when the envoy left, it would be put down and the official seal would be in hand. Now, no big deal.

   But it is a pity that this time the flag raised by the two Chen brothers was quickly detected by Jiangdong scouts...

  Because of the obedience attitude shown by the two Chen brothers when Sun Dadi entered the army, the current behavior of the two Chen brothers is naturally regarded as a kind of "rebellion" by the Jiangdong scouts!

  Huaisi Chen's rebellion!

   Can this be false?

   Didn't you see the shining "Jiangdong Children" fluttering in the wind?

  The news reached Jiangdong, and immediately aroused a wave of turmoil, and in the turmoil was Zhu Zhi. Because the "surrender" of the two Chen brothers was accepted and acquiesced at that time, and the one who did not send soldiers to attack was Zhu Zhi.

In terms of the art of war, Zhu Zhi's main strategic target at that time was Cao Cao, who was the Guangling soldiers. As for the more remote Wubao of the two brothers of the Chen family, it was between fighting and not fighting. It was similar to chicken ribs. , but there is not much meat, and there is also the risk of splitting up and being attacked. As Zhu Zhi, who wants to develop himself and expand his own strength as soon as he enters the field, it is normal for Zhu Zhi not to fight the two Chen brothers. things.

  But now, this normal move at the time has become not so normal.

   Some people even rumored that Zhu Zhi had a connection with Cao Cao long ago!

  The two Chen brothers are the so-called "evidence"!

   I also heard that the two brothers of the Chen family are "Yingchuan Chen family"!

  But Zhu Zhi and the so-called "Yingchuan Chen family" and the two Chen brothers turned out to be "flirtatious, Qiu never commits crimes". Doesn't it prove that Zhu Zhi has betrayed Jiangdong and betrayed "Sun Dadi"?

   Coupled with the fact that Sun Quan sent Jiyan to investigate the spies in Jiangbei, there was an uproar all of a sudden!

  Many people wrote letters one after another, saying that Zhu Zhi was "suspected" no matter what, and asked Sun Quan to make a decision early and arrest Zhu Zhi! If Zhu Zhi is not guilty, after the investigation, wouldn't he be able to prove his innocence? If Zhu Zhi is guilty, he should take precautions as soon as possible to avoid further disasters!

  Isn’t such a suggestion very reasonable?

   And it happened that Sun Quan was slightly dissatisfied with Zhu Zhi before, so he ordered an inspection...

   The three nos in the article are modern, but I think it is good to use here.
