Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1739 Old Tune and New Means

   Just when Cai Yan was somewhat unhappy because Fei Qian paid too much attention to Qinglong Temple's great theory, some people also came to Chang'an without saying a word, and stayed temporarily.

  For these people, the Qinglong Temple discussion is not their goal. Their target is Fei Qian. In other words, disrupt Fei Qian's military behavior.

  These people are all rangers.

  In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the royal family was dark, the eunuchs were in disorder, local officials were corrupt, and the gentry families in various places were busy annexing land, which led to fierce conflicts between various social classes, and this became the fertile soil for the growth of rangers. The ranger was born in the folk, has a certain ability to adjust contradictions, and even replaced the government's law enforcement to a certain extent, and became a military organization in the Eastern Han Dynasty and even the Three Kingdoms period.

During the period of Hengdi Lingdi, there were even officials in the imperial court who directly contacted Rangers, such as Zheng Sa, Zhongchang servant, and Dong Teng of Zhonghuangmen. Wei's Duan Jiong, and even Dong Zhuo, who had completely torn off the fig leaf of the Eastern Han court before, had close ties with You Xia.

Strictly speaking, the reputation of rangers generally has the taste of helping the poor in need. Especially in troubled times, if you can distribute property to save people in the countryside, of course you will get the support of everyone, and these supports are often Become the cornerstone for these rangers to survive and even grow.

  And from a certain point of view, the Three Kingdoms actually started from the ranger and ended with the ranger...

Dong Zhuo, historically stated that he was a "young hero", and then Yuan Shao was also a "good ranger", Yuan Shu was "seldom known for his chivalry", Cao Cao was "a man of chivalrous debauchery", Sun Jian was "a good boy, You Ruo Ziyan", Liu Bei is "good at making friends with heroes", and Zhang Fei was abducted by Liu Bei...

  There is only one strange thing, that is the Hussar General Fei Qian.

   The start and growth of Feiqian has little to do with Ranger.

  So it is inevitable that among rangers, Fei Qian's reputation is naturally not as good as others...

   Moreover, the strategies that Fei Qian is currently implementing are even more disgusting to some rangers.

  One is Nitta Masaru.

  Xin Tianzheng adopts the tax structure of juetian plus ladders. However, many rangers, or have broken away from ordinary rangers and become powerful people, are unwilling to let go of the power of "powering". Most of these tyrants are different from the family of scriptures. They are like nouveau riche. They rose up due to current events, and then collected a large amount of land and wealth through legitimate or improper means. be opposed to.

After all, the aristocratic family has a big family and a big business. On the one hand, as long as there are a few outstanding talents in the family, they can support it. After some operations, you will pay more, but it is still within the tolerable range.

   Nouveau riche tyrants are completely different.

Most of these tyrants grew up by relying on the unemployed vagrants and rogues in the streets and countryside, as well as some bandits and fugitives. These people acted as thugs, or became Zhuang Ding. How many talents are there in…

   After all, not all fugitives can be like Xu Shu.

So these tyrants are very embarrassing. If they can make up their minds and fight for another famous person on the battlefield, they will not lose a way out, but how many people will be willing to leave the wealth they have already made and hang their heads on their waists In between, fighting in the yellow sand?

  Another aspect is the inspection system implemented by Feiqian.

  Due to the imperfection of the laws of the Han Dynasty, many social issues were left unattended when frictions occurred. In many places, even the superficial fairness could not be maintained, so there was room for rangers. These rangers intervene in large numbers in these disputes and solve problems by violent means, which has become a supplement to local law enforcement.

  However, Feiqian’s inspection system can almost be said to have completely covered the gray areas of the original ranger. There are official agencies that handle things fairly and strictly enforce the law, and those people are foolish enough to get involved in troublesome underworld organizations?

  A new Tianzheng is like cutting off the roots of these rangers, and a patrol inspection system is like cutting short the ostentatious leaves of these rangers. How can these rangers bear it?

  Speaking of which, the powerful rangers also feel that they cannot solve all problems, but compared to problems, these powerful rangers are better at solving people with problems...

  Shi Huan walked up and down the courtyard a little restlessly. Shi Huan was from Peiguo, Yuzhou. When he was young, he was like a knight-errant. He often gathered followers to help the weak and the poor. As a doorman, he followed Cao Cao to conquer Yuan Shu, and he made many meritorious deeds.

   Now, it is in the suburbs of Chang'an.

This courtyard is located in the eastern outskirts of Chang'an. I didn't know which family was run down at first, but it fell into disrepair for a long time and no one took care of it. After Shi Huan came, he bought it under a false name, tidied it up, and left Generally liveable.

  The outside of the house looks dilapidated, but the inside is unambiguous. Anyway, there is everything in Chang'an City, and I spent money to buy it and put it in the house. A person who licks blood with a knife does not know if there will be a tomorrow after today, and there is no point in saving money. If you use it, you can use it, and if you eat it, you can eat it.

  The sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard, Shi Huan waved his hand, and immediately several people in the courtyard grabbed their weapons one after another, and separated their points. Shi Huan himself rushed to the corridor in a few steps, picked up the ring sword, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

   "So-and-so!" Li Tong brought a few people and carried a few burdens, and stood still at the gate of the courtyard.

   I don't know when one of the subordinates leaned on the top of the wall and whispered: "I didn't see outsiders..."

  Shi Huan put down the knife and waved his hand.

  Li Tong walked in, and then someone stepped forward, took Li Tong's bag, opened it, and whistled softly: "Ha! Leg of lamb!"

   "Go to the back to tidy up, everyone is hungry!" Li Tong waved his hand and said, and then checked with Shi Huan.

  The subordinates answered in a hurry, then Li Tong and Shi Huan avoided the others, walked to the side of the yard and sat down, and fell silent for a while.

   "Let's wait and see..." After the two were silent for a moment, Shi Huan said softly, "There seems to be a lot more people patrolling the city recently... Let's see if there are any flaws in Chang'an City..."

"Day after day, when will it be?" Li Tong frowned and said, "Nowadays, Qinglong Temple is full of rumors and people are floating, so you and I can come in and out freely. When this period passes, our deeds will inevitably attract suspicion ..."

"However, there are heavily armored guards guarding the hussars' mansion..." Shi Huan covered his face with his hands, rubbed them a few times, and sighed, "That man with heavy armor... Alas!" Those heavy armored soldiers who hold the key points, even people like Shi Huan who have been on the battlefield, feel extremely headaches. Mo Dao, someone is holding a long axe, and the armor is strong and the soldiers are sharp. It is quite troublesome. Let alone this number of men, even if there are five times and ten times more, they may not be able to attack.

   "If the hussars are in the mansion, you and I will definitely not have the slightest chance..." Li Tong said, "If it really comes to that time... only by luring him out, can you and I have a big blow!"

  Li Tong is from Jiangxia, known as a knight-errant in the Jiangru area. Later, when the court was in chaos, he took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he and Chen Gong from the same county raised troops in Langling, and many people joined him.

Afterwards, it was quite bloody. First, in the name of peace talks, Zhou Zhi, the biggest competitor, was killed at the banquet, and his followers were annexed. However, this act of holding a Hongmen banquet under the guise of peace talks aroused Chen Gong's displeasure. dissatisfied.

  Then Chen Gong’s brother-in-law, Chen He, made a rebellion and killed Chen Gong. Soon after, Li Tong broke through Chen He’s army and beheaded Chen He to pay homage to Chen Gong...

It's a pity that God seems to be against Li Tong. Just as Li Tong finally wiped out all his competitors, a great famine came. Although Li Tong tried his best, he almost went bankrupt to relieve the disaster, and shared the chaff with the Confucian soldiers. There was still no way to survive, and most of the soldiers were scattered.

   Then, Li Tong received an "edict" about Fei Qian. Limited by the circumstances at the time, Li Tong thought that this was his only chance to stand up. Although Li Tong also understands that General Hussars may not be as unbearable as the edict said, and it is even more impossible for him to say that every meal cannot be separated from the heart of a child...

  What does it matter?

  In Li Tong's opinion, Fei Qian is just a reappearance of Dong Zhuo back then, and it's not a good thing. Of course, other people may not be all good stuff...

  Including Cao Cao.

   But how to say it? Back then Dong Zhuo was also famous, didn't he also collapsed suddenly? Compared with Dong Zhuo's second-ranked Fei Qian, Li Tong is more optimistic about Cao Cao, who is now welcoming the emperor.

  Shi Huan couldn't help but glanced at Li Tong, and couldn't help admiring him. This guy is really daring, even if he is just talking about it now, it is already very good to have such an attitude! It really surprised Shi Huan, at first he thought Li Tong was just a follower of power, but he didn't expect Li Tong to be so loyal to Duke Cao!

  Shi Huan let out a long breath and clenched his fists. Even a newcomer like Li Tong has such awareness, how can he be decadent and discouraged?

   These days, Shi Huan is really scratching his head.

At the beginning, when he received this kind of opinion, Shi Huan thought that he could get on with the rangers in Chang'an, and then use money or righteousness to do something, but when he arrived near Chang'an, he found that the surrounding environment of Chang'an was not at all. As I originally imagined!

  The previous hero is no longer there, but the one you know now is slightly smaller in size...

Although Chang'an Luoyang was once the two base camps of rangers, it was also a place that rangers from all over the world yearned for before, and there were many famous big shots, but on the one hand, because of the chaos of soldiers and horses before, there were not many ranger formations. The local tyrants were either incorporated or destroyed, and the rest fled far away. On the other hand, because of the inspection system implemented by Fei Qian, the legal order was quickly rebuilt after the war, and naturally there were no Ranger re-grows soil.

So when Shi Huan came to Chang'an, his heart was half cold. After seeing Hussar General Fei Qian's strict guards, he was even more troubled. He couldn't help showing a little more respect for his fighting spirit, and asked, "I don't know if Wen Da cares about it?"

  Shi Huan couldn't read minds, so he didn't know what Li Tong was thinking about.

  For Li Tong, he felt that the Shi Huan who joined him, although superficially assisting each other, may not actually have the meaning of mutual restraint and supervision. Shi Huan has been with Cao Cao for a longer time, and his loyalty is naturally better, but he only expressed his support. Cao Cao may not be so relieved. Maybe Shi Huan will get some special orders from Cao Cao...

  Li Tong knew in his heart that he was not a daring desperado who only knew how to take risks and fight. But the world is like this, if he wants to gain fame and status, how can he succeed if he doesn't go all out?

  I originally thought that I could separate one side and achieve great things, but I didn’t expect that God would not open his eyes and didn’t give me this opportunity. But now, after the failure, after learning from the painful experience, Li Tong finally understood that this world, in the final analysis, is still a struggle between the Shandong gentry and the Shanxi gentry!

   Then, in comparison, it is naturally the Shandong gentry with a thicker background, which can stand the test...

  Since this is the case, then killing the current leader of the Shanxi gentry, Hussar General Fei Qian, wouldn't it mean wealth and fame like heaven? Think about it when Yuan Shao hanged seals at the East Gate and openly resisted Dong Zhuo, he became a role model for the world in one fell swoop. If he can really achieve Bo Lang's blow, this reputation can be eaten for a lifetime!

  Although their goal was not to assassinate Fei Qian originally, if they could really kill Fei Qian, they could also accomplish the set goal.

"Nowadays there is a lot of discussion in the Qinglong Temple in the city, and there are many people who are disputing..." Li Tong said in a deep voice, and then glanced at Shi Huan, "You might as well take this opportunity to cause a fight. And take it... What's more, a certain person discovered something today..."

  Shi Huan said: "What's the matter?"

  Li Tong said: "The hussars went to the Cai Mansion today..."

   "Cai's Mansion?" Shi Huan raised his eyebrows, "Wenda is talking about the Cai's Mansion?"

"Can it be that one?" Li Tong showed a smile that some men know how to say, "Hey hey, the general's mansion is near to the left, and the soldiers are very guarded. With our strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve any results... But, what, The Cai Mansion is different, and besides, if the Hussars go there, it will definitely not be possible to make a big splash, this is the only chance..."

Shi Huan rolled his eyes, and his tone became a bit eager, "Wenda means that when the hussars arrive at the Cai Mansion, they will first use the Qinglong Temple dispute in the city to cause disturbances, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the Cai Mansion? "

  Li Tong nodded, "If the hussars come out, shoot them with bows and arrows!"

  Shi Huan asked urgently and quickly, "Is Wenda sure?"

  Li Tong stretched his hands and feet, sat down and said: "Could it be that Brother Shi has any other good ideas?"

   "If General Hussars doesn't come out of the Cai Mansion..." Shi Huan said with a frown, "Even if he won't make a big show, he will bring some personal guards... so what?"

  Li Tong still answered boldly: "The only way is to fight to the death!"

  Shi Huan fell silent, his eyes moved slightly. This time Shi Huan really admired Li Tong, no wonder Cao Cao sent him over, pondered for a long time, and slapped his thigh fiercely, "That's it! If it's urgent, so be it!"

  However, in order to achieve this final and biggest goal, there are still many things to do for Shi and Li...
