Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2960 Thousands of mountains and birds are flying, and there is a beautiful place behind the forest

  Anyone can shout slogans.

  As early as in the ancient Zhou Dynasty when the merchants were conquered, the king of Zhou knew how to shout slogans.

  『Come here, let’s overthrow that evil King Zhou together...』

Those who have never heard of it, or those who seldom listen to people shouting slogans, gathered together and overthrew King Zhou. Then, they discovered that King Zhou and King Zhou actually have the same sound, but different sounds. shape.

From generation to generation, those who can shout slogans can always take advantage of it. Those who shout slogans usually stand behind and shout, and those who can't shout tend to rush forward. Therefore, in China, the genes that shout slogans have a greater probability Being able to preserve it has formed the origin of later generations who will follow the formality and shout slogans at every turn.

  The chaos in Chang'an is interestingly separated from top to bottom.

  The officials and gentry of the upper class are panicked and fearful, and each has their own scheming. Those who are at a loss and those who are confident are mixed together.

However, ordinary people in the lower class are still living a life that is not much different from usual. Even people who are worried about food price fluctuations due to the burning of warehouses, when they see the price of the water sign hanging in the food store, it is just After one or two more money than before, I was relieved.

   What the upper class worries about has nothing to do with the lower class.

  The problem of food and clothing that the people of the lower class are worried about is not a problem at all in front of the people of the upper class.

It is impossible for a big man to jump to a certain doctrine in one breath. This kind of class division in feudal dynasties makes the so-called unity of China at present, always a small group of close-knit groups. Once it expands, it will be extremely loose. A boat can also capsize, or shouting something to believe this or that, it is useless.

  The person who actually yells these words may not even believe them himself.

  『Do you want to trust Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan? 』

  You can shout slogans, but who knows what is going on in your heart?

  The people and the officials, the officials and the emperor, do not communicate with each other at all, are not coordinated, and are not synchronized.

   Shouting slogans is fun for a while, and of course it is always fun to keep shouting slogans, but when you don’t shout slogans, how to do it when you turn your back is the real world.

   Otherwise, in the feudal dynasties of the Chinese dynasties, corrupt officials often own hundreds of sets of real estate, thousands of acres of real estate...

   This deep love is always the same.

This kind of class estrangement and division, which was passively cultivated during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, was basically confirmed during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and in the subsequent dynasties, although there were ambitious emperors or ministers who wanted to carry out reforms, they still could not. Resisting the powerful historical inertia keeps Huaxia in a state of infinite wisdom in internal fighting and helplessness in external fighting.

  When Chang'an Sanfu was about to face threats, the common people were at a loss and ignorant, and the sons of the gentry had their own thoughts.

Sima Yi's request to transfer to Hedong seemed to be a signal. Immediately, many people said that a catastrophe was imminent and they flew away separately. Then some people shouted to believe in Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. Wei Yan, who was at odds with the situation, quietly disappeared.

Of course, some people noticed this matter, but they were quickly attracted by all kinds of news and rumors in Chang'an, as if they couldn't help swiping their mobile phones, looking at the little goblin twisting their waists, they forgot their business .

  Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?

  Wei Yan is not brushing Miss Sister now, but is brushing the "wild monster" in Zhongnanshan.

  Mount Zhongnan, perhaps there is no other mountain that is as famous in Chinese history as Mount Zhongnan.

  Mount Zhongnan is not a mountain, but an area, which is part of the entire Qinling Mountains. From Lantian to Huxian, it can be called Zhongnan Mountain.

  In the Tang Dynasty, Zhongnan Mountain was the closest mountain to the capital of Chang'an. Many people were unknown at first, but after being painted with gold paint on Zhongnan Mountain, they immediately became famous and were recruited as officials. You can get high salary and good treatment.

Of course, at the moment, no one is trying to take this famous shortcut to Zhongnan, but there are also some people who want to take other models of "Zhongnan shortcut", because anyway, Zhongnan Mountain is still the closest mountain to Chang'an, and Chang'an City, because The reason for Feiqian's concept construction is that there is no generous outer city wall, only the original inner city wall, imperial wall, and mausoleum wall.

  Therefore, if there are thieves hiding in Zhongnan Mountain and disturbing some key nodes, it will easily cause various problems, and it will also make some ignorant people feel fear and cause Sanfu turmoil.

  Especially at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there are still quite a few labor camps...

  Ma Jun was standing beside Wei Yan, pointing out the main points on the map.

  As Ma Jun, who often travels between the Xuanwu Pool in Chang’an City and the workshop in Zhongnan Mountain, he is very familiar with the terrain in this area.

"General, in this area, there are mountain roads formed by felling trees and digging ore ... from here to here," Ma Jun said, "if there are thieves hiding in the mountains, it is inevitable to purchase daily necessities... these mountain roads, then It's a shortcut...』

   Lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

   It sounds beautiful, and it sounds fairy-like, but it is not the case.

   Mosquitoes in the mountains will not just look at them high and raise their mouths high because they are hermits. When they encounter living things, they will be full of life and death.

  If it’s just mosquitoes, it’s nothing. Smoke and fire can always solve some problems, but there are not only mosquitoes in the mountains, but also wolves, bears, and tigers.

   There are also food and utensils, which will not lose half because of seclusion, and it will not be said that drinking northwest wind and southeast dew will make everything taste like chicken.

   Wei Yan grinned slightly, "Okay, this matter... I'm familiar with it..."

   Ma Jun hummed, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and didn't say it.

  『Don’t worry...』 Wei Yan raised his head and looked at the Zhongnan Mountain Forest, 『As long as there is a direction, everything is not difficult... Ma Canshi, I am troublesome every day at the time of the morning and noon, and every minute of the beacon...』

  The beacon smoke is not for the alarm, but to determine the direction, and as long as the fireworks are not interrupted in a specific order, many times it will be mistaken for the black smoke produced by something burning in the workshop...

Mountain roads are like lines, but not every line has fish, so when playing in the wild, you naturally need to go through mountains and forests, and to determine the direction in the mountains and forests, in addition to your own excellent skills, you can also seek help from outside the field .

  Ma Jun bowed his hands in response, "Lead the general's order. 』

  『Good! Then please! 』Wei Yan didn't talk too much nonsense, put away Tuyu, then turned around and went in the direction of his own army formation.

   Before arriving at the military formation, Wei Yan glanced from left to right, and then without saying a word, just waved and ordered, "Let's go!" 』

  Wei Yan's mountain soldiers responded with a roar, soaring into the sky!

  In Zhongnan Mountain, is it true that there are no practitioners or hermits?

   Actually there are.

  One thing to note is that no matter how much a practitioner expresses his innocence and inaction, he himself comes from the mundane world. Unless the practitioner is really like a monkey grandson, who can be raised by nature and jump out of a stone egg, otherwise when the parents are still alive, they will abandon everything and only seek their own practice, which is undoubtedly a kind of betrayal of their parents .

  People are born in this world, and they should have the responsibility on their shoulders, otherwise they are no different from livestock.

  Wei Yan's responsibility is to guard this piece of land when the hussars leave Chang'an. Only in this way can he be worthy of Fei Qian's attention and promotion, instead of saying that this is the position and military power that the Hussar General "voluntarily" gave him...

  In Zhongnan Mountain, beasts have their own way, and humans have their own way.

   But whether it is a beast or a human, they all need to eat and drink.

  The source of water is always the most important place in the mountains and forests, like an oasis in the desert next door.

  In the mist in the early morning, a man in a Ge robe, carrying a pole, staggered out of the path in the mountain forest, and then went to the water source, ready to fetch water.

  Mt. Zhongnan in the early morning is quiet, with occasional singing of early birds, perhaps because of the joy of finding the same early-rising bugs.

The wages of avarice is death.

   So what about the bugs?

  The man in Gepao washed his face with water first, then wiped it carelessly, and was about to dip the bucket beside him into the stream to get water, but he reached out to grab a handful, but it was empty.

  The man in Ge Yibu didn't pay attention at first, but he still fished the bucket a second time without looking back, because he remembered that he had put the bucket beside him. Maybe he didn't catch the bucket at first because he didn't align with the position.

  But the second time I still caught an empty...

  Strictly speaking, it wasn't that he failed, but he caught something like a stick, and then he turned his head sharply, so frightened that he almost jumped up and fell into the stream.

   It was a bit close, because when he was about to jump up, someone held him down, pressed him to the ground, and covered his mouth intimately by the way.

  For a while, it was not clear how many hands were walking around him, so scared that he immediately peed out, and a foul smell came out...

  『Hi, bad luck. 』A mountain soldier cursed, and then washed his hands in the stream beside him.

  『Wang Laoniao, who told you to like to pick out human birds? ’Another person who looked like the captain whispered, ‘Did you find anything? 』

  The surroundings suddenly giggled and chuckled.

  The man in Ge Yibu was startled, why so many soldiers suddenly appeared beside him?

  Where did these pawns come from?

  Dropped from the sky, drilled out of the ground?

  Why didn't he see anyone when he came to fetch water just now?

  『There is a short blade. 』A soldier found a short sheathed blade from the leggings of the man in the Gebu robe.

"Hmm..." The **** who looked like the captain took the dagger, pulled it out to look at it, and even sniffed it close to his nose, then laughed twice, squatted in front of the man in Gebu robes, and waved his hand, "This knife Come on, there is a **** smell... After all, who are you and what are you doing here? 』

  The pawns who were holding down the man in the Gebu robe slowly released the hand that was pinching the man's mouth, allowing the man to breathe heavily and speak.

"I, I... I'm just a cultivator... I practice Taoism in the mountains..." The man said eagerly, "I didn't do anything, I just came to fetch water... This knife, uh, this knife is the first two days ago Orion gave it to me, for self-defense! There were thieves a few days ago...」

  『Hehe, there are thieves in this wild country? The team leader chuckled, "What kind of thief is he?" 』

  『I...I don’t know...』 said the man, 『I just came to steal things in the middle of the night, I...I dare not check...』

  『You are the only one where you live? ’ asked the team leader.

  The man nodded, "Just me... There was an old man before, but I don't know where he went..."

  Team frowned, thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Help him up." 』

  The man stood trembling, his lower garment was a little wet.

  The team took the lead and waved their hands, "Let's go, lead the way." Let's go and see the thief you mentioned...』

  『They have already run away! ’ said the man eagerly.

  The team leader raised his eyebrows, "It's okay... there will always be some traces left... lead the way!" 』

  The man was obviously reluctant, but he had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

  Old Wangtou, who likes to pick out human birds, came to the team leader, squinted his eyes and snorted softly, "I'm looking, this thing is not a good bird..."

  Team leader smiled, "Got it. ’ Immediately beckoned to the two men, and after a few instructions, he took most of the soldiers and followed the Gebu man to the mountain, while the three or two soldiers who stayed in place turned around and walked back .

  The small mountain road is winding and hidden in the grass. If you don't go in this direction, it is not so easy to find it.

  Walking around the woods and the middle of the mountain, the team suddenly realized, "So it's here, no wonder I didn't see it before..."

  In the era when there were no drones or hot air balloons that provided high-altitude vision, if you want to find out whether there are any people and buildings on the mountain at the foot of the mountain, you really need to rely on "smoke". If you can't see the cooking smoke, or the angle of the building is wrong, even if there is cooking smoke or something, it will be blocked and you can't make it out at all.

  In the middle of the mountain ahead, there is a small platform, just behind a small piece of woodland. There is a small courtyard built on the platform, two and a half houses, half of which is a kitchen, and a small wall of half height. There are a lot of firewood piled up in the corner of the wall, obviously picked up in the forest. There are all kinds of branches and forks, and there are even some half-dry and half-wet branches.

  This place has beautiful scenery and excellent views. Apart from the lack of water, there are basically no shortcomings.

  『This place is nice...』 The team led the team to look at the woodland and then at the platform, 『If you don’t look from the other side of the mountain, who can find that there are people with houses here? so…"

  The soldiers who entered the simple courtyard first reported back, but found no other people. It seemed that he was the only one here, just as the man in the Gebu robe said. However, in the house, there are still some robes that do not fit the figure of the man in Ge Yi, perhaps what the man said was left behind by the original old man.

  Everything seems normal.

  The team led the team to stand on the edge of the platform, looked at the simple courtyard, and looked at the walls surrounded by gravel and wood.

  Indeed, a wall of this level may be good enough to prevent ordinary animals, but it is enough to prevent people.

  So if there are thieves coming, it is indeed impossible to prevent them.

  But isn’t it…

  The team leader squinted his eyes, looking at the other side of the mountain next door.

  As the sun rises, the fog between the mountains and forests gradually dissipates. The mountain body also changed from gray-black or indigo-black to green and orange-yellow. The green ones are the pines and cypresses that do not lose their leaves in winter, while the orange or reddish ones are the broad deciduous trees.

  『Hoo…』The team leader exhaled a long breath, "It's really a good place to practice Taoism. How did you find such a great place? 』

  The man's eyes moved, "It was a coincidence, I found it by chance..."

  『That’s really a good opportunity! The team leader sighed, and then clicked on the small courtyard and house, "Will it take a lot of money and time to repair this courtyard and house?" How much money did you spend and how much time did you spend? 』

  『I heard that it took nearly ten years... 』The man said, 『I don’t know how much it cost...But the mountain is full of trees and rocks, so it doesn’t cost much...』

  『Haha...oh...』The team leader seemed to be asking casually, and didn't mean to delve into it, so he just smiled, "We are here to disturb your cleaning, and we will leave after two days of rest... Is it okay? 』

  『No, I’m not in the way...』 The man waved his hands again and again, then swallowed his saliva, "Dare to ask the military master... you are..."

  The team leader squinted his eyes and smiled, "Come to catch the thief... Didn't you say that you were caught by a thief?" That's right, we're here to catch them... How about it, are you happy? 』

  『Uh, happy, of course happy! 』The man followed suit and laughed.

"correct! The team leader said with a smile, "I'm sorry for disturbing your clean-up. You haven't eaten in the morning, have you?" We brought dry food, and I will borrow your stove to use. If you don't mind it, why don't you eat some together? 』

  「Ah…」The man waved his hands again and again,「No, no…」

  『Look down on us? The team leader smiled, "Then shall we leave now?" 』

  The man changed his face, "Don't dare, dare not...You can do whatever you want, whatever you want..."

"OK. Thank you very much. The team leader still smiled, "Don't worry... my general said that you must be polite to the people under you... use your firewood, water, rice and food, and they will make up for you..."

  『This...Thank you, Mr. Jun, thank you, Mr. Jun..』 The man bowed his head and was about to step back.

"etc! 』

  The team leader suddenly shouted in a deep voice, which made the man tremble, and then turned around stiffly, "Mr...Mr. Jun, what else can I order..."

  『Almost forgot, this knife...』 The team leader handed the short blade to the man.

  『Yes, thank you, Mr. Jun...』 The man breathed out, quickly picked up the dagger, turned around and left.

  The old soldier king came over, "Captain... what are you going to do?" And give him the knife? 』

"Hehe...it's just a knife, so that he doesn't have to think about other methods..." The team led their heads back, looked at the other hills that were far away from the platform, and said while patrolling, "One person, one pot, but prepared such a So much firewood, it's still a little wet... What do you think this place looks like? 』
