Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2970 Heartbreak

"over there! That square-faced shell in the green shirt, catch him! 』

  『There's one on the left, behind that cart! 』

"Ran! That ran away! 』

  The soldiers on the city gate could see more clearly, and wanted to give guidance to Zhang Ji and Deng Li who were under the gate, but...

Unfortunately.

   Invalid.

  The shouting in chaos under the city covered up the guidance on the top of the city.

  Using banners is fine, but there are more than one spies in the crowd, which one should we point to?

recent?

  Okay, here comes the problem, spies will run away, when chasing this spy, another spy suddenly becomes the closest, should we change the direction?

What?

   Let these people shut up quietly?

  If this is the case, isn’t it like some brickmen calling beasts to indicate when it’s time, why don’t these people shut up, how can they scream like this, and why do they complain so much? Is life so unsatisfactory? With this time to yell, why not work hard? Why not drive a taxi, why not rent out the houses and fields?

  Because the Cao Jun spies caused chaos, instead of solving the Cao Jun spies first, you want to shut up the people first?

   Isn't it like sending money and issuing coupons, choosing to post is the same?

From a certain point of view, if the common people shut up and calm down at the same time, it will indeed make it easier for Zhang Ji and Deng Li to arrest these Cao Jun spies, and the more chaotic the situation, the easier it is for these Cao Jun spies to hide. But the problem is that as a manager, as an official, with the salary provided by the people, he enjoys all kinds of convenient rights. He also expects that in times of chaos, the people will still cooperate, and if they do not cooperate, they will not do things. Only willing to face the simple situation, do not want to deal with complex situations?

   Zhang Ji and Deng Li rushed out of the pass with their soldiers, and they faced such a situation.

As for whether to put your fingers together, draw a formula, and shout "I represent the moon" or something... In fact, Sailor Moon has a very deep connotation, such as comparing one with the other in normal times, and then holding the light in her hand The shiny scepter transformed into...

It is obvious that Zhang Ji and Deng Li are here to capture and kill the spies of Cao Jun who are hiding among the common people for the sake of these common people. It is obviously beneficial to the common people, but at the moment they obstruct the course of action of Zhang Ji, Deng Li and others, and panic everywhere. It was these people who ran away.

Although they are unconscious, they are indeed substantively and indirectly helping these Cao Jun spies to hide and escape, just like some prank show in later generations. When seeing a group of menacing people rushing straight out, even Knowing that he is innocent in his heart, he will subconsciously choose to run away first.

  『Junhou! Deng Lida shouted, "This is not acceptable!" I'll take someone around the side! outflank! 』

When Zhang heard the words, he nodded in agreement, and at the same time ordered his spearmen to move forward, turn their guns around, and use the handles of their spears to hit the civilians who were rushing over without thinking, and let these civilians squat down. run around.

So the soldiers immediately divided into two teams, one part was led by Zhang Ji to arrest the soldiers in the crowd, and the other part was led by Deng Li to leave the chaotic area, intending to go around to a place where the crowds were sparser and intercept those who mixed in. Cao Jun's spies among the crowd.

There are people's heads shaking around the gate of Guandao city, and people are constantly crying unconsciously, saying something like "Cao Jun is here" and "Killed", and the weak are knocked to the ground and no one has time to help them. The young child was separated from his parents and cried in a daze, and those Cao Jun spies appeared and disappeared in the crowd...

   The whipping and expulsion did not actually cause much harm to these chaotic people, but soon Cao Jun's spies saw that Zhang had made a move, and immediately shouted, "Hussars kill people!" Huguan garrison kills! 』

   This is obviously not true.

Even if some unlucky guys were hit on the head by the handle of the spear and bled, but whether it was from Zhang Ji's original intention or in terms of the actual damage caused, they didn't want to kill people, but the chaos The people who got up also lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and the people who were a little further away couldn't see the facts, so they could only rely on their own imagination, and in this imagination, these people would combine the cruel scene they had just seen with Connected at the moment, simply put, the chaotic people only believe in what they imagined, what they want to believe.

  Among these chaotic people, a large part are Shandong people, refugees from Shandong.

  And what is it like in Shandong in the Han Dynasty?

  An official can really do whatever he wants.

  Why did these Shandong refugees become refugees?

  In Dahan, freelancers are not advocated, but anyone who leaves the place of household registration is treated as a refugee.

  Refugees have no human rights.

  The preferred destination for the general refugees to escape must be a big city that is relatively close to the surrounding area. Because there are granaries, armies, and government in the big city, it can give these refugees a certain degree of false sense of security psychologically. After all, before paying taxes to the government every year, it was like paying some kind of fee. Now that something happened, the government should take care of it, right?

   According to the theory, it is like this.

  Usually the government can provide a certain amount of relief food, and in the big cities, there are those kind-hearted rich households with a particularly good reputation in the weekdays, maybe they will come out to set up a porridge shed or something...

  The policy of the imperial court, in fact, most of them will treat refugees more leniently.

Forced exile due to disasters, such as various droughts, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, bandits, etc., generally organizes relief and encourages large households to set up porridge sheds. This is the record of disaster relief that is often seen in history books. Relief on behalf of workers usually comes with tax exemption for some years in the disaster-stricken areas. When the disaster is over, they will be sent home. This is a relatively normal way of dealing with refugees who originally had families and records.

  But there is an old saying that there are policies above and countermeasures below.

  If everyone is so friendly to refugees, how can the landlord class annex land?

   Eat and drink for free, and finally send them home?

ha!

  For the local government, why are there no refugees elsewhere, but there are refugees here?

  Do you still want political achievements? Can the black hat be guaranteed?

   So, what is a refugee?

In the Han court, the policy at the top required the local government to treat the people well and resettle the refugees, and even issued a special policy of "fake civilian public land" to resettle the refugees, but the local government below, the powerful and wealthy, took the opportunity to plunder the population and became the shadow people below. households, or colluded with each other, pocketed the country's preferential policies for refugees, and transformed the public land given to refugees into their own private land.

  It’s like the low-rent housing in the United States is not cheap at all, and economic housing is not economical at all. No matter what country’s policy, it can become a means of making money.

  During this process, the hardships endured by these Shandong refugees can really be described as "suffering and suffering" or "enduring and enduring"...

These sufferings left such a deep impression on these Shandong refugees that even after they went to Guanzhong and Shangdang, after experiencing a short and peaceful life, they still couldn't forget them. The blood that had been hidden in the bottom of his heart with great difficulty began to churn again.

  Under the instigation of Cao Jun's spies, some Shandong residents lost their minds and rushed towards Zhang Ji and others!

   Some people picked up rocks and soil from the ground and threw them at Zhang Ji and the others!

  In the hearts of these hands-on people, there are only two concepts, good and bad, or black and white. They even felt that they were doing a very righteous feat!

  Are these people brainless?

   Yes, but in a chaotic situation, even if many people have brains, they will fall into a state of unconscious "rabble", coerced by other people to do things that they might never do before. When the people are in a "rabble" state, the minds of these people cannot accept complex concepts. They can only accept either good or bad, and there is absolutely no intermediate transition, or other positions.

If it is said that these people are all heinous villains, it is not so absolute. It is like when Xiangmou was in chaos in later generations, there were nearly 300,000 sentries in his gang just for the reporting group, so it is difficult to arrest them all. behead?

  Human nature has always been difficult to preserve pure good or bad.

At the beginning, Zhang Ji felt that these common people were instigated by Cao Jun's spies, and they were not guilty of these people, so they held back somewhat, but these people didn't feel that Zhang Ji's holding back was to take care of them, on the contrary, they became more arrogant Get up, not only to smash Zhang Ji and others, but also to **** their weapons.

  Because these people discovered that Zhang Ji and others did not fight back...

  It is always easier to deal with good people than with bad ones.

  『Boom! 』

  A flying stone hit Zhang Ji's pocket, causing his head to buzz.

  More stones flew over and hit Zhang Ji's armor, as well as the surrounding soldiers.

   Some people rushed forward, pulling the pawns, and even the spears and pockets wanted to **** them away...

  『Don’t hold back! hit out! In desperation, Zhang drew out his saber and shouted, "Those who obstruct, kill without mercy!" 』

   Blood flowed out.

  Some people who attacked Zhang Ji and others were knocked down and cut down, and the rest of the chaotic people who surrounded them were afraid and began to avoid Zhang Ji and others.

  『Catch spies! Keep an eye on the spies! Zhang Ji glanced at the nearby people, "the spies are nearby!" 』He knew very well that without the spies of Cao Jun mixed in with the people, the people would not dare to do anything, but as long as the spies of Cao Jun took the lead, someone would attack behind them...

   Zhang is angry with these ignorant people, but the most important thing is to focus on those Cao Jun spies who are mixed in!

  Under the swaying figure, Zhang Ji even saw the mocking face of the Cao Jun spy closest to him, as if saying to him, "Look, what kind of fake good person is pretending to be, and you want to kill the people?" 』

   Zhang Ji yelled angrily, snatched the bow and arrow of the soldiers beside him, and aimed directly at the figure of the Cao army spy he found.

  The Cao Jun spy was swaying left and right among the crowd, and he was about to run thirty or forty steps away...

Zhang couldn't wait any longer, and didn't care about accidental injury. He took a deep breath, slowly drew his bow, took another aim, and then let go of the bowstring. The arrow flew away with a whoosh, and it was about to hit the Cao Jun The spy, but unexpectedly, when he was about to be stabbed in the back, a farmer bumped out from the side for some reason. The arrow failed to hit the spy of Cao Jun, but shot the unlucky farmer's face right through. It fell to the ground.

"grass! 』

  Since Zhang blurted out, he didn't care about the life and death of the unlucky farmer. When he was about to search for the spy of Cao Jun in the distance, he felt a sudden bad wind behind him, and he immediately dodged to the left!

  A figure rushed over!

   Zhang couldn't dodge in time and was knocked to the ground.

  Before Zhang Ji saw clearly who hit him, he saw a short knife coming towards his face. Zhang Ji tilted his head subconsciously, and the blade wiped his face and stabbed it on the ground with a plop. The person who came then threw himself on him, pressed his face with one hand, and then raised the blade again, towards He cut it.

  The incident happened so suddenly that even the soldiers around Zhang Ji didn't have time to react!

  Since Zhang gave orders continuously, he was targeted by Cao Jun's spies.

  A Cao Jun spy mixed in the crowd, found a gap, and directly attacked Zhang Ji!

Fortunately, Zhang had experienced life-and-death battles at any rate, and he was not in a hurry, but took advantage of the rushing man before he adjusted his posture, and suddenly pushed his right elbow to the left, borrowing the inertia of the man above him, The person hit the ground on the left. He quickly turned to the right, and with both hands, he stood up, and the surrounding soldiers saw that Zhang was out of danger, and without saying a word, they slashed at the man on the ground.

  The man didn't have time to get up, so he just used the short blade to block it. How could he block many knives and guns, the short blade was knocked away within two hits, and his head was cut off with one blow.

  『Wait...』 Zhang wanted to keep alive, catch spies to ask about the situation, but it was too late.

"never mind! Don't kill me next time! Zhang Ji shouted, "Break hands and feet as much as possible!" Stay alive! Live more than die! 』

  The surrounding soldiers responded in unison.

After Zhang wiped the blood splattered on his face, he led his men towards the rest of Cao Jun's spies. Although there was an order to arrest them alive, the process was not so easy to control, and in the end they only captured two of them alive. , and the rest were basically killed.

Compared with Zhang Ji, who broke through the crowd head-on, Deng Li, who went around and outflanked from both sides, went smoothly and made more money. Not only did he not encounter such unlucky things as Zhang Ji, but he also calmly shot and killed Several spies of Cao Jun who tried to escape.

  As the frontal and outflanking soldiers converged, order was quickly restored.

   Jia Qu on the city gate looked down, and when he saw the panicked expressions of the squatting people, his heart suddenly moved.

I see…

   This is a mind attack technique!

   After thinking for a while, Jia Qu ordered Zhang Ji, Deng Li and others to bring the people under the city wall.

  These people thought they were going to be killed, and some couldn't help crying.

  『What are you afraid of? ! 』

  Jia Qu stood on the city wall and shouted loudly, "Just a few spies of Cao Jun scared you like this!" I don't even recognize my own people! Are Cao Jun spies so scary? Come on! Tie up these Cao Jun spies and let them all see! Is it three heads and six arms, supernatural powers! 』

   Zhang Ji, who was at the bottom of the city, took orders loudly, and then immediately erected some wooden stakes, and tied all the dead and wounded Cao Jun spies to the wooden stakes. "See everything clearly! This is Cao Jun's spy! Also a head, two eyes and one mouth! Even if the head is lost, it is still dead! There were just such a few spies, but they scared you to run around like rabbits! 』

   Live, one or two is enough, the other dead or wounded Cao Jun spies...

  『The family members were killed or injured just now, now I will give you a chance! Jia Qu stretched out his hand, pointing at the spies of Cao Jun who had been erected, "Here are the knives for you!" If you want revenge, come up and take revenge! 』

  『…』These people under the city were silent.

   Jia Qu looked around, "Why, no one has the courage? 』

  A moment later, a woman's sharp voice sounded in the crowd, crying, "My boss is dead!" Can I take revenge! 』

"Can! Jia Qu said in a deep voice, "Come forward!" 』

  The crowd made way for an alley after hearing the sound.

  A woman struggled to drag a civilian husband who had been shot in the face with an arrow, and walked out slowly. Beside her, there was also a child, tearfully tearing at the corner of the woman's clothes, walking step by step.

   Zhang couldn't help coughing slightly, and turned his face away.

  Jia Qu glanced at Zhang Ji, then stood on the wall, cupped his hands at the woman, "I'm sorry! It is not our original intention to lose the arrow! But this lady wants something, so she can say it! 』

  The woman returned a salute, and then pushed the child to the front, "The daughter of the people has nothing else to ask, but... I only hope that this son can read and write, and pass on the incense of her deceased husband..."

  Jia Qu was silent for a while, and was about to speak when Deng Li cupped his hands at the base of the city and said, "I want to report to the envoy, my subordinates have a little proficiency in writing and ink. If this lady does not give up, I am willing to teach this son to read and write!" 』

  Jia Qu nodded, "My lady, would you like it?" 』

  The woman pushed the child in the direction of Deng Li, "Hurry up and learn from the teacher!" 』

  The child was ignorant, but obediently walked a few steps forward, bowed down in front of Deng Li, "Boy... boy, thanks, goodbye... Master..."

  Deng Li stepped forward to help the child and asked, "I still don't know your name?" 』

  『I...my name is Li Fan...』the child replied.

  『Good! Deng Li nodded, and then said, "From now on, you will follow me and learn to read and write!" 』

  The woman over there saw the child bowing in front of Deng Li, so she walked up to Zhang Ji and looked at Zhang Ji.

  Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you want revenge? 』

  The woman nodded and said, "Exactly. Dare to borrow a knife? 』

"snort! Why dare not? ! Zhang Ji shook his hand, pulled out the saber, then pointed down the saber, and handed it out with one hand, while the other hand held the edge of a shield lowly, and said in a cold voice, "Please use it!" 』

Although it was an unintentional mistake that Zhang Ji shot his husband before, but after all, he died at the hands of Zhang Ji, so now Zhang Ji wants to be more straightforward and settle the matter. Kill, but at most let her chop a shield or two.

  An arrow pays a knife, and there is nothing to say in the future.

But what Zhang Ji didn't expect was that the woman took the knife, her hand was still trembling, but she didn't cut Zhang Ji, but turned around, staggered to the side and tied it to a wooden stake, a seriously injured Cao Jun spies in front of you.

Cao Jun's spy stared at the woman, spitting out blood bubbles in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, or wanted to laugh, but when he saw the woman screamed, he closed his eyes and Raise the saber and slash down indiscriminately!

  『Poof! 』

  『Hey! 』

  The dull sound of chopping meat sounded, and the Cao Jun spy lowered his head.

  After a few stabs, the woman stopped, and finally cried out loudly, crying to the sky, tears falling down.

  Everyone can't bear it.

  『Husband! And slow down! 』

  While crying, the woman turned the blade around and stabbed it between her chest and abdomen...

  『Mother! 』

  The child next to Deng Li yelled when he saw this, took a step forward, and fainted on the spot.

  Deng Li hastily stretched out his hand to grab him, then hugged him in his arms, and let out a long sigh...
