Chapter 264

With a "pop", the whip tore a red mark on the flesh and blood.

"You slackers, you are so tired and lazy. You have already delayed the spring plowing order of the court this year, and Xun Zhonglang was punished. Now you are still slacking off!" Xuchang Tuntian Sima Wang Gui was very angry.

Two yamen servants frantically beat a scrawny Tuntian guest.

The farmer was able to hold his head at first, but then he gradually lost his vitality.

In the first year of Jian'an, Wei Wu welcomed Emperor Han in Xuchang, adopted Zaozhi and Han Hao's suggestions, and went to Xuchang to farm the fields. In that year, he collected grain and ten thousand stones, which solved the famine in Xuchang.

In the next few years, the millet and warehouses were full, so that Wei Wu conquered the Quartet without the labor of transporting grain.

Every 50 people in Mintun is a tun, and Sima is placed on it, and above it is the Duwei of Diannong, Xiaowei of Diannong, and General Diannong Zhonglang.

A battalion of 60 people in the army station is used to repair soldiers and perform martial arts in leisure time, and farm in busy time.

But with the passage of time, farming has increasingly deviated from its own meaning.

Farm officials are greedy, and taxation has been increased layer by layer, from the earliest [-]% to [-], [-], [-]...

The local gentry tyrants used various means to occupy the high-quality fields of Tuntian.

The farmland continued to decrease, but the imperial court's demands continued to increase.

Later, the hands of the gentry and the powerful stretched out longer and longer, not only for land, but also for people.

The people in Tuntian became Tuntian customers.

In the huge field, the peasants who are as weak as bean sprouts look at the people who have been whipped.

It fell into the soil without making a sound.

The vast majority of people are as numb as cattle, lowering their heads and burying them in the soil.

Only a few people had a wave in their eyes.

"What are you waiting for?" Wang Gui stared at these people coldly, holding the knife around his waist.

Wherever the gaze swept, the people there bowed their heads.

There was only one person looking at him, and there was no anger in his eyes, but a murderous intent.

There was a sneer of disdain at the corner of Wang Gui's mouth. The newly caught green cattle were like this, with a stubbornness, but after a long time, no matter how stubborn the temper was, no matter how hard the bone was, it would fall down.

What's more, this green bull is young and strong, with a lot of strength.

The so-called Qingniu refers to young and strong people who have been caught.

The effect of Wei Wu's Tuntian Order has continued to this day, and all refugees can be arrested to "persuade farming and mulberry".

As for who is a refugee, it is they, Sima Tuntian, who have the final say.

"Look down."

Malone was patted lightly on the head.

In the end, it fell powerlessly.

Ma Long is exactly the green bull that Wang Sima was talking about.

On the same day, he parted ways with Linghu Sheng and was going to return to his hometown in Fenggao County, Taishan County to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Just happened to meet Wang Sima and his group who came out to catch the "green cow".

Bows, knives, ropes, tall horses, and many people.

Malone was alone, seeing that the other party had no intention of taking his life, he didn't resist much.

It's not bad to think to myself that it's not bad to hide from the limelight by farming in Xuchang.

Unexpectedly, what followed was a series of nightmares.

He became a farmer and worked in the ridges of the field all day, like cattle and horses.

Cattle and horses can also eat beans from time to time, and are carefully cared for.

Farmers, two bowls of porridge made from bran mixed with bran every day...

"Young man, don't be young and energetic, bear with it and pass. Two generations of my family have been farmers, so it's different." said the "Old Man" with sparse teeth and dark and wrinkled face.

"Two generations? It's only been 30 years since Xuchang farmed the fields, how dare you ask old man Guigeng?" Ma Long looked in disbelief.

The "old man" laughed, the wrinkles on his face were crowded together, making his smile extremely creepy, "I am thirty-five years old this year, and I have been farming for 20 years..."

Malone was stunned for a moment. This man was in his fifties or sixties, but his real age was only 35. He looked like he was too old to straighten his back.

Looking around, there are still many such "old men" in the field. They seem to be dried grasses, and their souls have already flown away, leaving only a walking dead.

After being stunned, Malone suddenly felt a chill.

Not far away, the man who was beaten just now was tied to the stake in a bloody mess.

The head has been hanging down weakly, and a head of withered yellow hair is shaking with the spring breeze.

Like a scarecrow in the field.

However, the scarecrow not only failed to drive away the birds, but the bloody smell attracted five or six crows, which scattered on his shoulders, staring at the flesh on the man's face with their dark eyes open...

Malone's stomach churned.

However, there was nothing in the stomach and intestines, and I wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.

"Lazy donkey!"

With a "snap", the whip hit Malone's back like a fire.

It also made him wake up instantly, remembering that he was still alone.

"No matter how lazy you are, be careful to be like them!"

The yamen servants laughed unscrupulously.

The laughter overlapped strangely with the crows of the crows fighting over each other...

...A dozen cavalrymen in black galloped on the official road leading to Wuguan.

Linghu Sheng and Shan Gu could only hide in the grass.

Four or five months had passed, but Huang Hua, governor of Yanzhou, still had no intention of letting them go.

The sea arrest document was posted all the way from Xuchang to Wancheng.

As Sima Yi's confidant, Huang Hua worked very hard. After Sima Yi's butcher knife was put away, he still tirelessly searched for Linghu Yu's remnants.

Over the past few months, a total of hundreds of companies have been implicated by Huang Hua.

As for Linghu Yu's nephew, Linghu Sheng, and Shan Gu, his confidant and counselor, they are naturally people who cannot be let go.

After the Sima father and son came to power, there were as many people who flattered them.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get through Wuguan." Shan Gu said dejectedly, neither of them expected that Huang Hua would bite them so tightly, and they refused to let them go.

"How about going to Tongguan?" The whole family died tragically under Sima Yi's butcher knife, and Linghu Sheng, who was driven by hatred, had already changed his mind drastically.

More and more calm and introverted.

"Wuguan is blocked, let alone Tongguan? If my predictions are correct, the roads of Weixing County and Xijun County will also be impassable. Even if they pass by by luck, they will have to pass through the Guanlong Road guarded by Guo Huai and Deng Ai to enter Jincheng." ,Totally impossible."

This era is full of barren mountains and wild mountains, and many places are blocked. If there is no official road, you will get lost in two or three trips, or become the prey of wild animals, or be killed by bandits and evil people.

It doesn't matter to Linghu Sheng, he has martial arts, but it will be difficult for Shan Gu to survive.

"Then what should I do?" Linghu Sheng was a little anxious. Fortunately, the family members were picked up in advance, otherwise...

Shan Gu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "You can only go south, enter the Kingdom of Shu, and then take the Qiang Di Road."

Linghu Sheng looked to the west, the mountains were vast, and there was no end in sight.

"Then go south!"

The two made up their minds to go south to Xinye.

Sure enough, there were no cavalry following them on the official road.

Jingzhou is a place where the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu intersect, but at the same time it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed.

There is a constant flow of scouts and merchants.

Some kind of tacit understanding has gradually been formed.

Three or two walking on the official road will not attract the attention of others at all.

There are only two or three roads in Guanzhong, one Wuguan in the south, one Yellow River in the north, and one Tongguan in the middle, which separates Guanzhong from Guandong.

Jingzhou is open, and there are many places where people can cross the river.

The local government also has no time to manage three or two refugees.

When it comes to the boundary of Wu State, it is more loose than that of Wei State.

Last year, Wang Chang, governor of Jingyu, took advantage of Wu's internal strife and led Jingzhou governor Wang Ji and Xincheng prefect Zhoutai to send troops to Jiangling decisively. Armored with flags, drums, treasures and wares, they defeated the cities of Guizhou, Wu, and Zigui.

Although the important town of Jiangling was not broken, Wu's forces in Jingnan were severely damaged.

Control is also declining.

Wu Jun was in panic all day long, so Linghu Sheng and Shan Gu passed through Jingnan and entered the land of Shu smoothly.

However, entering Yong'an, the good luck of Linghu Sheng and Shan Gu ran out.

Among the Three Kingdoms, the government of Shu Kingdom is relatively clear.

The local generals also performed their duties faithfully.

The governor of Yong'an, Zong Yu, was once the master book of Zhuge Prime Minister and joined the army. He was strict and upright, and his defense was very strict.

Linghu Sheng's crappy Shu accent was recognized by the Yong'an defenders on the spot, and he was imprisoned as a spy.

The two of them were not in danger of their lives, but after a while, they were thrown into the village and became residents of the village.

Three different directions, but similar fate.

However, the garrison of Shu State is not as dark as that of Wei State.

Zong Yu is kind to the common people, at least Linghu Sheng and Shan Gu can eat enough.

Shu is short of population.

Linghu excelled in martial arts, Shan Gu could read and write, and was soon promoted.

One person joins the army, one person is an official...
