Three Kingdoms

  Mountain haze whizzed past, rolled up the fallen leaves on the treetops, and made the clothes on the body rattle.

  Wang Bao took some water out of the stream and splashed it on his face.

  The stream water in autumn and winter was a bit icy cold, which made him tremble all over, and immediately became energetic.

   What Pang Tong and Wei Yan expected was right, there were many people in Zhongnan Mountain. Wang Bao is the leader of one of them.

  There are too many people, the first thing to solve is to eat and drink.

   Therefore, they are distributed around water sources and cannot be gathered too densely. Otherwise, even if there is no problem with eating and drinking water, large-scale traces will be easily exposed, but they should also not be too far away.

  The platform on the opposite side of the mountain is the best contact point.

  Whoever has something to do, go to that platform, light the fireworks, and people in the distance will know...

  The slightly cold water refreshed Wang Bao. After he straightened up, he took a long breath and looked into the distance.

   are all mountains.

  Fucking mountains.

  The scenery in front of me is very different from that in Shandong.

Mountains of various shapes and curves are stacked on top of each other, while Shandong is an endless plain. Even Mount Tai is not very tall. Compared with Qinling, it is like the difference between a child and an adult. .

  Of course Wang Bao didn’t know, if he went further west, there would be an even more majestic Roof of the World...

  『Have you been here for almost half a year? Time flies so fast...」

  Wang Bao thought silently in his heart.

   Wang Bao is from Donglai.

  If there is more or less one door in the poor family, then he can only be regarded as a "cold frame", because that "door" was gone during the last Yellow Turban Rebellion.

  The Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, but when he returned with his family, he found that his land and property were gone.

  The house was burned, which is normal. How many houses were able to survive the war?

  But this land... was sold at some point.

  There are documents, pictures, witnesses, and bright red handprints. Everything is legal according to laws and regulations.

  Wang Bao was angry, but he quickly collected some "comfort" fees due to humanitarian considerations, and then tore up the original title deed in front of that person.

  Lawsuit?

  Large families with big surnames like to litigate the most. Because from the referee to the linesman, even the caddies on the sidelines are his people.

  Be good, like Wang Bao, who is sensible, and give some more money, it can be regarded as the end of the matter, if you are not sensible...

   You must know that in the feudal dynasty, most of the local officials were dogs raised by local powerful surnames!

  If it weren’t for the local surnames throwing two pieces of bone meat from time to time, some places wouldn’t even be able to pay officials’ festival fees!

   Otherwise, how could there be officials of the feudal dynasty who openly declared that whoever has trouble with the local surnames has trouble with them who represent the government?

  Feeding inside on weekdays, when it’s time to come out to bite people, naturally you have to work hard, otherwise how will you eat meat next time?

   So what else to do?

   Endured it, admitted it, bowed my head. Take the money and give it to the elders, wife and children in the family, and settle down first, or if the lawsuits continue after years, if you can come back, the family members will starve to death first...

  But after all, he has a breath in his heart that he can't swallow, so he wants to cross the class, he wants to cover his head, and lift the cover he is covering and breathless!

   It’s just a pity that according to the three views of Wang Bao’s cognition, his choice is to sacrifice his life for a future. If he can get a future, of course he can take back everything before…

  Rebuild a courtyard with two entrances, with a brick and tile structure, a neat row of tiles under the eaves, and of course a gatehouse screen wall, because those represent the glory of the past.

  It doesn’t matter if the house burns down or the property is gone and sold, as long as there are people around and the breath in your heart, you can come back sooner or later!

   And the boys at home...

Although he usually doesn't give that kid any good looks, and always scolds him, but he loves the child extremely in his heart, otherwise he would not risk his life to break through the level, in order to get a first prize regardless of success or failure. He promised that his children could go to school first under the care of the local rich family!

  As long as you can read, you will have knowledge, and you will have a wider road in the future!

  Wang Bao, who was thinking about trivial matters at home, suddenly heard someone beside him shouting in a low voice: "Boss! The platform is lit! I'm afraid something went wrong! 』

  Wang Bao shook his body, looked up at the platform on the mountainside far away, and saw a bunch of black smoke billowing up there, so obvious in the clear and bright sky...

  The person next to Wang Bao said, "The beacon smoke is a bit messy... oh, it's better now, the beacon smoke is cut off one by one, which means... there are only a hundred people?" ! 』

  Wang Bao frowned, "This smoke is indeed so...but what does it mean to do?" 』

  Wang Bao’s heart at this time was as confused as his words, but the people around him were almost in the same mood, so no one laughed at what Wang Bao was talking about...

Beech smoke has the rules of bee smoke. It is not just a matter of lighting a cigarette. It needs to be covered with cattail grass. If there is no cover of cattail grass, branches with wide and thick leaves should be used to cover the bee smoke. Some agreed information. What's interesting is that these rules are actually inherited from the Han Dynasty, and there is no big difference between Shandong Guanzhong.

   But crude.

  If you want to be like the later generations, you can not only eliminate external interference by knocking on the water pipe, but also clearly know that there are insiders and suspend transactions. There is still a long way to go.

  The key point is not to go astray.

  Such as seismographs, self-drum carts, floor drain scalers, with two-wheeled carriages, no more research on shock absorption and steering mechanisms...

  Because of the small-scale peasant economy, you only need to guard the door of the house.

  Seeing the smoke from the platform, several other commanders from the surrounding hills also gathered.

  Each commander actually leads not many people, there are as few as 20 or 30 people, and as many as 40 or 50 people.

  These people are scattered in Zhongnan Mountain. If they can't make much waves at ordinary times, but if they secretly invade the place in an emergency, they will cause great trouble to Chang'an Sanfu.

  Black smoke billowed from the platform, and Wang Bao and others went in without knowing it, but soon someone suggested that escape was not an option, and there were only a hundred people coming, why not just attack the platform at night? Because Fei Qian and Pang Tong have never carried out large-scale searches to catch thieves and suppress bandits, the hearts of these people also unknowingly swelled up.

With the platform as the center, there are four commanders gathered in one place, including Wang Bao. The total number of subordinates is indeed more than a hundred, which occupies a certain advantage. Moreover, there is only a small courtyard on the platform, with forests on one side and forests on the other. It is a cliff, the scenery is really good, but it is also a Jedi with no way out.

  『I’m afraid that these guys, knowing that there is no way out, will fight with their lives, and it will be difficult to succeed! 』

  Wang Bao didn't quite agree to do it directly.

   As soon as Wang Bao finished speaking, the person on Wang Bao's side snorted coldly, and then Wang Bao felt a provocative gaze cast over him, "Why, brother Wang, are you timid? What are you going to do if you don't have the guts? How can you get your brothers promoted and get rich? 』

  Before Guanzhong, poor ghosts in Shandong hated it. They would rather go to Jiangnan than go to Guanzhong, but now they know that Guanzhong is very rich, and they shed tears when they saw it...

  Wang Bao glanced over, "Why, do you have an opinion? 』

  The person who made the statement was about thirty years old, with a full face, not very tall, but very burly, with his tattered battle jacket stretched out, holding a sword in his right hand, and his eyes were not friendly.

  Only above the high hall, among the three locust trees, are there intrigues and conflicts of interests?

  Even if it is a bowl of water, a piece of meat, or a meal of porridge and rice, there are people fighting for it, some people grabbing it, and some people want to eat more and take more!

   This person is called Le Yin, and it is said that he has some kind of kinship relationship with Le Jin. Because Le Yin came to Zhongnan Mountain relatively earlier, so he naturally felt that he was the boss. It would be fine if he really had some ability to convince the crowd, but Le Yin just instinctively wanted to eat more and let others follow his instructions. He even planned to do some acts of killing good people and pretending to be meritorious deeds in Chang'an area, but Wang Bao stopped him.

   Moreover, the platforms are used as "beacon points", and they are scattered in the mountains to prevent the targets from being too large and being targeted by the hussars. It was also proposed by Wang Bao...

  Everyone came to Guanzhong with their heads up. If it really mattered, wouldn’t it be safer and smoother to stay in Shandong? And the key is that Cao Jun doesn't know whether these people can really take root, so it's hard to say that today he will give this official a high position, and tomorrow he will give another higher one. Everyone is the same as each other, and they all belong to the school official. On the outside line, there is no one who is superior, so who must listen to whom?

  But Le Yin felt that Wang Bao was aiming at him everywhere, so he had to fight against Wang Bao whenever he had the chance, and would not give up until he put Wang Bao under him.

  According to the logic, they are already in Zhongnan Mountain. What is today may not necessarily be tomorrow. Under such circumstances, is it necessary to compete for superiority and make a distinction between high and low positions? But in fact, not only Le Yin is doing this at this time, isn't that the feudal dynasty? When Song Nanming was being chased to heaven and earth and had nowhere to go, the people around the fugitive emperor, except for a few courtiers, were worried about the country and the country, and the rest didn't ask themselves for a reward like a general and a bachelor, so that they could live happily together. Just two days?

  『Whether there is ability or not is not about lip service, it depends on the real work of the subordinates. ”Wang Bao didn’t intend to entangle Le Yin, he still looked at the platform, “I think we should send some people to check the specific situation first, and then make a decision...”

   But Le Yin felt that what Wang Bao said was mocking him, so he stood up immediately, dropped the saber in his hand on the ground, pointed at Wang Bao with his hand, and said, "You son of a bitch! who are you talking to? ! 』

   While speaking, Le Yin took a step forward and punched Wang Bao in the face. It's not that Le Yin is a big fan, but he knows that Wang Bao is also good at swordsmanship. If he really fights with Wang Bao, whether he can win or not, it will become a life-and-death fight! If you just use your fists and kicks, you can't say that you can take advantage of your own physical strength!

Unexpectedly, before his fist hit Wang Bao's face, Wang Bao's scabbard pointed at his throat, as if he was going to hit him, he quickly retreated, but when he retreated, Wang Bao had already He pressed forward, swung the scabbard and slashed at Le Yin's arm with a crackling sound.

That's right, Wang Bao's body is not as big and strong as Le Yin's. If he really wants to compare with Le Yin's punching skills, Wang Bao will definitely suffer, but Wang Bao doesn't have the same strategy as Le Yin. He greeted him with fists and kicks, but hacked Le Yin with the scabbard, which undoubtedly took advantage of him.

   Le Yin lost the opportunity, so he had to keep backing away, barely covering his face with his arms, and was beaten so loudly.

  Wang Bao pressed on every step of the way this time, without mercy. If it wasn't for the sword not being drawn, Le Yin would have died eight times ten times.

  The people on the side were stunned, and it took a long time to realize that they quickly persuaded and separated the two.

…

   Le Yin really couldn't get down from the stage, so he pointed at Wang Bao and cursed: "Wang, if you have the guts, don't play tricks in front of your own people!" If you have the guts, if you go and treat this group of hussar soldiers, I will respect you! Otherwise, what do you fill with garlic? Return the **** assignees, beep beep! 』

  Wang Bao looked around and suddenly sighed, "Even if you don't tell me, I will go... Who else would like to go with me?" 』

   Wang Bao scorned Le Yin obliquely, and said lightly: "Le Yin, do you have the guts to go with me and fight for military merits?" 』

  In the Han Dynasty, such a combination of first and surnames was regarded as a formality, but now there is no room for relaxation between the two, so naturally it doesn't matter.

   Le Yin glanced at Wang Bao bitterly, and snorted, "Grandpa takes care of himself!" The ghost knows if you will use black hands on the road! 』

   Wang Bao nodded, "It's a man. ’ Immediately, he looked at the other two commanders, ‘Where are you two? 』

  The other two leaders hesitated.

  Wang Bao suddenly changed his mind, it was indeed because of Le Yin. It's not that Le Yin and Wang Bao have any cooperation, but on the contrary, it is precisely because there is no cooperation, and at this time they have not forgotten to fight each other, so Wang Bao feels that there is no need for cooperation, and there is nothing too good In the future, just make a big mess, harvest as much as you can, and send the one who deserves to die, and then he can run away...

  From Qinling to Hanzhong, and then from Shangyong to Xiangyang, the detour is a bit longer, but relatively speaking, it may be safer. As for whether the plan can be successful and whether it can survive in the end, it is up to each of us to live in peace.

   This is the best outcome, but what if...

  Look at the destiny!

   Fight, win or lose.

The other two leaders were pointed at by Le Yin and said that they couldn't stand it, and they agreed to go to the mountain in the evening and then do it in the middle of the night, but the two leaders unanimously proposed that Wang Bao be the temporary commander. , commanding this battle, although Le Yin was obviously very unhappy, but he also hummed twice, Quan Dang acquiesced.

  Since everyone is going all out, this matter is settled.

  Naturally, they had to have a good meal before the battle, so they dispersed, and while preparing their hands, they took out the food they usually stored and started cooking. Although it is said that these people have tried their best to cover up the traces of the cooking smoke, but for these people who may not see the sun tomorrow, how can it be said that they can be banned? A little bit of chaos is inevitable. After a full meal, they took a short rest and then started to come out from their respective hiding spots and started to touch the platform on the opposite hill.

  Speaking of it, Wang Bao and the others seem to be going deep into the enemy's rear.

Originally in the Han Dynasty, those who held dangerous positions such as scouts and sentries at night were often the elites of the frontier guards in various counties and counties, and those who could be selected were often extremely outstanding figures in the Han army. The big man treats this kind of people very generously. Not only is the daily salary of soldiers higher than that of ordinary soldiers, but also generous compensation for death and injury. Dusi or something, they will specially offer incense to these dead people...

   This is in the early days of the Han Dynasty.

Just like most feudal dynasties, the worship and emphasis on military force and military power will gradually fade under the double erosion of time and people's hearts, and then no one will pay homage to it, and some people will start to pay for the benefits …

  When it comes to the current big man, in the land of Shandong, this kind of generous treatment has become a thing of the past. There are more people like Wang Bao, who have some ability, and then become irresponsible under the oppression of various situations.

   As the winter night approached, it was already quite chilly in the mountains.

  A group of people went all the way to the woods next to the platform, and faintly heard someone laughing, and the sound of punching and guessing was endless.

  『Great! These guys are drinking and having fun! The leader who followed Wang Bao said happily, "We will kill them and catch them by surprise!" 』

  『Uh...wait...』Wang Bao instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.

  While Wang Bao was hesitating, Le Yin on the other side of the woods obviously thought that the current form was good, so he rushed out first to get the first power, and was already in an uproar, brandishing his sword and rushing out first!

  The hussar soldiers at the bonfire at the edge of the woods seemed to be frightened, and then dropped their drinks and turned and fled.

  The fleeing hussars irritated Le Yin even more, and also made the leader next to Wang Bao unable to hold back. Leaving Wang Bao behind, he called his hands and rushed forward!

  It was originally planned to attack at night, sneaking into the village and shooting, but now it has become a half-light attack...

Wang Bao sighed, and felt more and more that they were like discarded pieces on the chessboard. They belonged to the kind that could be beneficial, but it didn't matter if they didn't, so he also walked out of the woods and came to the side of the bonfire that still had some smoldering fire , subconsciously picked up the broken "wine jar" that was kicked over, and when he smelled it, he was stunned, and immediately licked the "wine" attached to the broken crock jar, feeling like the "wine" in his heart 』The same cold.

   This is not wine, this is water!

  Autumn and winter nights, bone-chilling water!

  These hussar soldiers are pretending to be drinking!

  Why pretend to be drinking?

   Then an answer popped into my mind...

  『Not good, hurry up…』

Before Wang Bao could finish speaking, on the way Wang Bao and others were retreating, suddenly dots of torches lit up, like lines like a net, tightly blocked, trapping Wang Bao and others in the net !

   In the place where the fire was shining brightly, there was a man who looked like a hussar general, and it was Wei Yan.

   Wei Yan moved his arm, drew out his saber, laughed loudly, and said in a forceful voice, "I wanted to catch a tiger and leopard, but I didn't want a jackal to come!" Well, talk is better than nothing! Haha, surrender and avoid death! Those who resist, kill without mercy! 』
