I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 473, The commotion in the prisoner-of-war camp

Guo Jia felt complicated when he heard Wan Shi's words, because he found that what Wan Shi said was completely correct.

Yes!The common people in the world are so self-sufficient that they don't even have enough to eat. Now Dagan treats Yuan Shao much better than the common people. Compared with the big man who killed the Yellow Turban Army, he really has no reason to say that Lei Gong treated Yuan Shao and the others harshly.

It's just that no matter how he heard these words, he felt distorted. He always thought that Lei Gong shouldn't treat Yuan Shao like this, let alone let these captured officers do these short-term jobs!At this time, Guo Jia discovered that he had the idea of ​​being superior to others from the beginning to the end!

Now he finally understands why Xi Zhong stayed in Hebei back then, because he was not burdened by his family, and he was born as a commoner, so he was more suitable to work hard. The Guo family's children, after all, still have to stand on the side of their own family, and it is difficult to accept Lei Gong's policy towards the nobles!
In the end, Guo Jia could only smile wryly. Back then in Yingchuan Academy, he looked down on those famous but not talented guys, but now he looks no better than his classmates back then!
At this time, Wan Shi continued as if venting: "I have seen through you people, all of you are blowing loudly, like gods coming down to earth, but you still have a head and two shoulders, and you will still die if you cut off your head. If you lose a battle, you will surrender. If you have no ability, you will kill innocent people indiscriminately. It seems that if you kill us poor people, the world will be peaceful! But the more you kill the more rebels!
Now we are just letting these officials live the lives of ordinary people, you can’t bear it, you have only passed a few months, we ordinary people have lived this kind of life all our lives, and we can even eat three meals a day, This is already the life of the upper class. Back then, only a few of the hundreds of families in our village lived like this.

Most of the people in the big man don't even have enough to eat, but now Yuan Shao can at least have enough to eat, but we haven't even had enough to eat a few times.Giving you enough to eat is considered a humiliation, so what is it that we spend our days suffering from hunger and hunger!
I'm surprised, you officials of the big man humiliate the people of the world so much, you don't worry about us rebelling, don't worry that we will kill your whole family to take revenge! "

Guo Jia smiled wryly and said: "I'm just a pity. Their full stomach of knowledge is now only wasted on moving bricks. The old man not far from you is named Tian Feng. He is a famous scholar in Jizhou. He has read Confucian classics and has profound knowledge. Don’t you think it’s a pity to do some physical work like this now?”

Wan Shi sneered and said, "Of course it's not a pity. I'm also from Jizhou, so I don't know Tian Feng's name, but what's the use of him being famous? When we were starving in Jizhou, we didn't see them come up with any ideas. Help us solve this problem, when millions of people in Jizhou couldn't survive, they didn't see what he could do, what kind of relationship does such a famous person have with us people, it's just yourselves touting each other!"

"The celebrities you mentioned can't make the world peaceful at the top, and can't make us full at the bottom. Such knowledge is useless! The big man didn't decay into what he is now in the hands of you learned people!"

Hearing this, Guo Jia instinctively resented: "This is because the emperor doesn't need to be a minister. If Tian Feng and other celebrities were the officials in Jizhou back then, you don't need to follow Lei Gong to rebel!"

Wan Shi sneered and said, "You're lying here again, and you want others to blame you, so I'll just ask the simplest question, how much land does your family have?"

Guo Jia said: "A thousand acres, it's not a lot. Back then, my mother almost couldn't afford me to go to school!"

Then he asked Xiahou Dun, "How many people are there in your family?"

Xiahou Dun said: "I don't know, it's probably hundreds of thousands of acres. My family is a big family with a large population and more fields!"

Wan Shi pointed to Guo Jia and said, "Your humble family has thousands of acres of land, while his family has hundreds of thousands of acres of land. There are more than a few thousand families in this world, and more than half of the land in the world has been in your hands. These ordinary people can have fields!
I remember that when I was young, my family still had ten acres of land, but because the tax burden became heavier and heavier, all of it was in the hands of your tyrants. Later, my family can only rent your land. These methods of annexing land were also taught by Emperor Ling! "

"Our land is gone. How can we live without rebellion, and it is you people who are full of knowledge that drive us to rebel. If your knowledge is not used for righteousness, what is the use of this kind of knowledge!"

"Moving bricks is what you should really do. At least moving bricks will save you time to harm others!"

"Furthermore, your knowledge is simply created to restrict others from becoming officials. Few of us have read the Six Classics thoroughly, but we still manage such a large land. As long as you know how to read and count, you can collect taxes and govern. On the one hand, this has something to do with Confucian classics.

Our Huaxia has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has been only a few hundred years that we have really used Confucianism to govern the country, and the effect is not very good. Where do you get the confidence to think that the world cannot do without you masters! "

Xiahoudun on the side was full of emotion, a small envoy has such insight, no wonder Lei Gong is so powerful!

Xiahou Dun also had a complicated heart at this time. Although building walls here was hard work, it was only physical hard work, but his spirit was very relaxed. Even because of the regular life here, his body, which had been weakened by the war, was much better.

But now that they know that they are going back to Qingzhou, and thinking that they will continue to face the behemoth of the Dagan Army in the future, the feeling of being so overwhelming and overwhelming is back again!He's going to be struggling for survival again.Xiahou Dun didn't even know if it was a good thing to leave Yanzhou.

Guo Jia was so speechless that he didn't dare to continue discussing this issue!Instead, he proposed to pay for Xiahou Dun's food expenses in the future!I just hope Xiahou Dun and the others in Qingzhou don't have to continue to build walls here in the future.

Wan Shi thought that Xiahoudun and the others were leaving here soon, so he agreed!

At this time Xiahou Dun suddenly said: "Feng Xiao, how much money did you bring here this time?"

Guo Jia said: "Not much, about ten gold!"

Xiahou Dun said: "Lend me the money, I plan to treat the brothers who are together to have a good meal before leaving!"

All the prisoners in this prisoner-of-war camp are officers above the military commander, and most of them have heard of the big names they dealt with even if they don’t know each other. They have fought together in the Yanzhou War, and they have been behind bars together when they were imprisoned here.There are four great irons in life, these people have experienced two together, and their friendship is naturally extraordinary.

Here, although Xu Wei did not treat them harshly and ensured that they would have enough to eat three meals a day, he did not give them much preferential treatment. The only meat that can be popularized, there are thousands of cement boats fishing, and the price is very low! Now people in Hebei can see these fish or salted fish every day!)
And this is a good meal for ordinary people, but it is hard for Yuan Shao and the others to swallow, and now Xiahoudun wants to help Yuan Shao and the others eat a good meal before he leaves, which can be regarded as helping them!

Guo Jia heard Xiahou Dun's thoughts and gave Xiahou Dun all the gold in his hand!

Ban Wan, after a day of hard work, Yuan Shao and the others started to go back to the prisoner-of-war camp. Although they were prisoners, they were only confined to Changyi. Of course, it was very difficult to escape. The scope is limited, so it is said that they ran out of Changyi, but there are tens of thousands of cavalry around Changyi, and they have no place to escape.

Some officers who did not believe in evil escaped, but they were arrested within 20 miles of Changyi, and the people of Yanzhou hated these people very much. Yanzhou has a fortress, and the amount of city wall engineering is no worse than that of the Great Wall back then. How much, these were built by a large number of officials who oppressed them. I don’t know how many people died in the construction of the city walls. The local people hated the Han army very much. As long as the fleeing officers were recognized by the people, they would be beaten to death.The captured officer failed to escape several times, but was beaten and bruised all over his body, so he dared not run away again!

The prisoner-of-war camp is managed by a strong man named Wang Guanjie. He is an old member of Xu Wei who has followed Xu Wei since Jizhou.What Wang Guanjie does every day is to supervise these people to go out to do things, take care of them, and bring them back intact.

But today Xiahoudun found Wang Guanjie and said, "We will leave here soon, so I want to buy some food for everyone, and please help me brother!"

Wang Guanjie also knew that the negotiating matter between Xu Wei and Cao Cao had also given him an order. Someone would come to pick up Xiahou Dun and the others tomorrow, so he said, "I can help you buy food, but no other actions are allowed!"

Xiahou Dun cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much!"

When Xiahoudun returned to his cabin, the other generals said enviously, "Yuan Rang heard that you are leaving. It is great to have a brother like Cao Cao. It is such a price to take you back. We have to suffer in this place!"

Xiahoudun said: "My elder brother has already brought us back. With the benevolence and righteousness of the general, the envoy who wants to negotiate is already on the way. Brothers should be able to return to Jingzhou soon!"

Hearing this, the generals of the Jingzhou faction were also uneasy for a while. They also knew the price Cao Cao paid this time. The family members of 2 Qingzhou Army soldiers, this is a big price for Cao Cao, but it is not impossible to take back Xiahou Dun's cronies bear.

But the entire Jiangnan has more than 10 captives in Yanzhou. If there is a deal, Jiangnan will lose hundreds of thousands of people. Most of them feel that this hope is too slim, even if the general is benevolent!

At this time, Xiahou Dun came to Guan Yu's wooden house and said, "Yun Chang, go to my younger brother's place to get together at night, it will be difficult for us to see each other in the future!"

Guan Yu came out and said, "When the time comes, Guan will definitely know the truth!"

Then Xiahou Dun said to the others: "Everyone is coming!"

Being able to have a big meal, naturally no one would refuse to accept it, and they all promised Xiahou Dun that they would speak!
And at this time, a strong man came to Guan Yu's side, his height was not much worse than Guan Yu's!
"Junhou, Cao Cao has saved his brother, the general will not give up on you, will we still have a chance to return to Jingzhou?" The strong man asked expectantly!
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I was also in Changyi, so how could I know about Jingzhou? Wenchang should ask others earlier!"

At this time, another strong man appeared and said: "Master Wen, don't get hopeful. We are no better than Xiahoudun and others. Cao Cao lost tens of thousands of old and weak women and children at most, but if the general wants to redeem us, we only need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars." The price of the surname!"

This person is called Wenpin, and behind him is a series of Jiangnan generals!They all form a small gang with Guan Yu as the core!

Hearing this, Wei Yan sighed and said: "I'm just not convinced. I, Wei Yan, have studied martial arts for many years, but in the end I can only move bricks. I still have an ambition that has not been realized. People in the world still don't know my name, Wei Wenchang!"

Wenpin beside him said: "You are still young, and you still have a chance. Dagan will imprison you for three years at most, and after three years you will only be in your twenties. When you are young, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand out with your abilities! "

But Wei Yan said: "I'm really worried that I have been delayed in Yanzhou for three years. Now everyone knows the situation in the world. Lei Gong has already gained the overall upper hand. In these three years, Dagan may have completely occupied the Central Plains. If At this time, I seek refuge with Lei Gong, this is not to fight against the general, the general treats me well, and I can't do such a wolf-hearted thing!"

Huang Gai said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, you can also flee back to Jingzhou. The general sees that you are so loyal, maybe he will use you again!"

Wei Yan said helplessly: "First, I don't know if Lei Gong will let us go, and second, I don't think the general will deal with the generals. This time we have the upper hand, but we were still defeated by Lei Gong in the first battle. The great vassals are seriously injured, and it is impossible to be Lei Gong's opponent. In the current situation, Lei Gong can completely occupy the Central Plains within 2-3 years. At that time, only the generals of the big man can resist Lei Gong.

But the general only occupies the land of the four states in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is difficult to be a big opponent who occupies the entire Central Plains and the desert!Lei Gong has too many cavalry, and the artillery is too fierce. It is difficult for us to resist Lei Gong only by relying on the south of the Yangtze River, especially the artillery can be carried on the ship. Now we don't even have the advantage of the navy. Although I have the intention He took refuge in the general, but he didn't want to be captured again in a few years! "

Huang Gai and others thought of the artillery and cavalry in the battle against Lei Gong, and they had to admit that the big man was really in danger of subjugation this time!
