Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2057 is out of date and out of order

Although on the whole, the Eastern Han Dynasty is not as aggressive as the Western Han Dynasty, but it is still somewhat tenacious. The political chaos and anxiety did not make the children of the Han Dynasty lose their fighting spirit. This is especially true in the older generation. body is more obvious.

  The party's imprisonment only imprisoned their way of promotion, but not their thoughts. After these people re-enter the political arena, these people will become more determined and stubborn.

   It's like Liu Biao.

  During Liu Biao's reign, did the people in Jingzhou feel angry and resentful? not at all. And speaking of it, it is better than ordinary Confucian scholars. Although there are traces of imitation in some places, the article itself is a copy of the world, such as Taixue, Mingtang, and Hundred Medical Halls. Isn’t it a move to benefit the people? ?

  Liu Biao also wanted to do something when the big man was in chaos, but he never realized that the system is one thing, but implementing it is another.

  In the south of Xiangyang City, many refugees came one after another.

  These refugees were in a terrible state of distress, mourning and crying in the south of Xiangyang City.

  Life is nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death, but most people want to live, no matter how embarrassing or humble, as long as they can live.

  Xiangyang City is sandwiched between two mountains. The north of the city is full of raging Cao troops, and the south of the city is full of refugees. It seems to have a different symbolic meaning.

  The entire city of Xiangyang was in chaos from north to south, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined, especially the sounds of Cao's army attacking the city in the north of the city, scolding, cheering, and fighting to the death.

Cao Jun held a sword and shield, bent down and lowered his head, covered his body with the shield, opened and merged the shield in an orderly manner amidst the sound of orders, and approached the top of the city and shot out bursts of arrows. For the shield, and then shoot with the bow behind the embrasures and parapets.

  Liu Cong hugged his head, curled his body into a ball, and nestled in the corner as much as possible.

  When Liu Cong was young, he thought he was a hero.

  The kind that stands upright.

   But now, in Liu Cong's head, the figure of the hero has disappeared, leaving only the word "survival"...

  In such a chaotic world, if you don’t possess and demonstrate the ability to shake the world, are you really qualified to hold your own destiny?

  『Sir! Suddenly, the guard's voice sounded outside the door, "Cao Jun has begun to possess him!" 』

  Liu Cong trembled, bit his fingers in his mouth, and dared not make any sound. He is afraid, and when he is afraid, his legs become weak, and when it is serious, he can't even stand up.

When Liu Cong was young, he was very afraid of his father being angry, because when his father was angry, the whole family seemed to change the sky immediately, with cloudy clouds and lightning, so Liu Cong tried his best to do what his father wanted him to do, reading, Practicing calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano can only win the happiness of his father, which is everything to Liu Cong.

   Now, however, Liu Cong found that what his father Liu Biao wanted, or what he himself learned and practiced with countless efforts when he was a child, was meaningless and out of date.

  Liu Cong, can the books he reads, the calligraphy he practices, the pictures he draws, and the piano he plays withstand swords and guns? Can these gores be eliminated? Can Cao Jun retreat? If not, why practice these in the first place? My father wants me to be a hero now, but why didn't he tell me what it takes to be a hero? Reading, calligraphy, painting, playing the piano, can you become a hero? If you can't, why did you praise me when I learned these things?

  『Poof! 』

  A stream arrow flew in from the window above the city gate, and stabbed obliquely on the wooden floor. The wobbly variegated tail seemed to be stained with some blood.

   Liu Cong stared blankly at the arrow, the feathers on the arrow's tail trembling slightly.

  Sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the city gate, and then danced lightly in the darkness, bringing up countless smoke and dust, floating and lingering on the tail of the arrow.

  『Sir! 』

  The guard outside the door was taken aback, and quickly patted on the door, "Is your son okay? Son! 』

   "No...it's all right..." Liu Cong clucked his throat a few times and squeezed out half a sentence.

  The guard outside the door was relieved and shouted: "Pass one!" Block the windows! 』

  The light and shadow moved, and then the elves jumping in the room disappeared, leaving only a dim...

  Liu Cong hugged his body and curled up in the corner, "Father... since you want me to be a hero, why didn't you teach me how to be a hero in the first place?" It’s not that I don’t want to be a hero now, but that I... I don’t understand, I... I can’t do it...』

   I don't know how long it took, but Cao Jun finally retreated. Although the current Xiangyang City of the Great Han Dynasty may not be as strong as that of Guo Daxia in the Song Dynasty, it is still a majestic city after all, and it will not be easily conquered.

  Cao Bing receded like a tide, and the city of Xiangyang began to feel a little easier, repairing damaged equipment, moving dead bodies, transporting various supplies, etc., all of which required manpower and labor. After these days, the hardest work is not the soldiers defending the city, because these soldiers are only fighting for their lives while defending the city, while the people who "spontaneously" serve as laborers need to work all the time, sending weapons to consume during wartime Goods, the city wall needs to be repaired during the truce, not only is there no armor protection, and Liu Ya will take his life away at any time, but even if he just lay down and rested, he will be kicked awake, and then another task is assigned to the head superior…

   These labors are similar to those of later generations of code farmers. The leaders of the company always say that they will take a vacation after finishing this project and take a rest, but in fact, after this project is finished, the next project is not only seamless **** joint, but even negative seam joint. One possibility is that either the company collapsed or the company itself collapsed.

  So, naturally, some people suggested that the refugees from the south of the city could be used to supplement some labor labor in the city.

At the beginning, they were naturally very cautious and did not open the city gate. They used the hanging basket to hang the soldiers down first, and then selected and checked them. If there was no problem, they hung them up again with the hanging basket. They checked again and confirmed that they were from Nanjun, Jingzhou. Only refugees who fled were added to the labor queue.

   Everything is fine.

The Jingzhou refugees in South County, the unarmed people, can relieve some of the pressure brought by these refugees while supplementing the labor. However, in this world, it is not difficult to do one thing well, but you must continue to do it seriously. It's pretty hard to do everything well.

  In fact, Cao Cao has already made up his mind to completely solve the Xiangyang problem before the autumn harvest.

   Migrant workers... Uh, Qingzhou soldiers cannot pay in arrears.

   Qingzhou soldiers agreed to work for Cao Cao back then. The most important thing is that Cao Cao promised a series of treatment, and he did it. That's why Qingzhou soldiers followed Cao Cao and fought in the north and south until the last moment of Cao Cao's life. At the same time, Cao Cao is backed by Qingzhou soldiers, so he is qualified to show his face to these Jizhou and Yuzhou gentry, otherwise all human, financial and material resources will be in the hands of these Jizhou and Yuzhou people. After you are an eunuch, what qualifications do you have to be the boss?

  However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Battle of Jingzhou drags on into a war of attrition, then it may not be a joke if there is any big movement within Cao Cao in the future.

  However, with Cao Cao at the back and Xiahou Dun at the front, they still maintain a certain optimism that the war can be ended in time...

   After all, everything today is planned.

   But there is only one chance.

  In the dark night, it is the time when demons are rampant.

  Han Song wandered to Xiangyang South Gate with two or three people.

  『Han Biejia...』 The military marquis on duty stopped Han Song, 『I don’t know why Han Biejia came here? 』

Han Song had been Jingzhou Shepherd Biejia for a while, and it was half a level higher than someone’s Biejia the governor of Jingzhou. Ordinary Cong Cao, but whether it is ancient or later generations, when calling for a position, it is always high or low. It's like a retired Secretary Wang, who obviously has no official position, but still has to be called Secretary, it's impossible to change his name to "Old Wang" on the spot...

  Han Song did not change his face, "I am ordered to transfer some more labor." 』

  Marquis Jun frowned a little, "Didn't you transfer your talents during the day?" Why come again at night? 』

  『There was an epidemic before, and some civil servants need to be quarantined...』 Han Song glanced at Junhou, and said, 『If you come again in the morning, I’m afraid Cao’s army will attack the city, so how can we adjust it? Fortunately, the lord has a hundred medical clinics in the city... but the herbs are used too much, and there are not many left in the museum...』

  This matter is not Han Song talking nonsense.

Although it is said that General Hussars of the Han Dynasty has implemented various health regulations for a long time, it does not mean that he can abide by them in the same way in Jingzhou, especially in the current state of war, coupled with the hot weather, many people die There is no way to exterminate flies, mosquitoes and mice. Whether it is ordinary diarrhea or other serious plagues, it is difficult to avoid mutual infection when a large number of people gather.

  The Marquis on duty at the South Gate naturally heard about this, and his complexion was heavy and worried. It is easy to hide with a bright knife and a bright gun. In the Han Dynasty, not many people knew how to prevent and treat such an invisible and colorless disease.

So the Marquis Jun had no reason to stop Han Song, but he did not leave, but watched from the sidelines, watching Han Song let people ride a hanging basket first, went down to the city, recruited refugees, and even questioned all of them carefully. The refugees who were selected were not only searched, but also took a torch to shine on them from beginning to end...

Han Song stood aside with his hands in his sleeves, and didn't say much. He even saw the newly recruited refugees inspected by the Marquis two or three times without urging him. He waved his hands, smiled lukewarmly, and said what their respective responsibilities are, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

   This group of refugees naturally has no problem.

   It's just that everyone's attention is on these refugees, and they ignore the people that Han Song brought before, whether there are three or always two...

   At this point, all the joints are finally hooked up. As we all know, when a chain is pulled up, no hoop will be clean.

  …:-O:-O:-O:-O…

   Heluo.

  The three-color flag was flying high, and the sound of horseshoes was beating unhurriedly.

  A long cavalry array is marching along the official road.

  Some caravans hurriedly drove their own vehicles and mules to both sides of the road to make room for this army. After these people and horses passed through, they continued to form. At this point, the people of the Han Dynasty obviously did much better than some fools of later generations. Those who met the military ranks and went up to jump in line, did they want to touch porcelain or seek death?

  Among the cavalry formation, there is a canopy chariot. Thanks to the blessing of General Hussars to rectify the official road, the bumps are not too big when driving on the official road, at least not the kind that makes all the internal organs pop out...

  In the canopy car, Liu Qi was holding the railing with one hand, and clutching the scepter for a week.

  Liu Qi did not expect that General Hussars would let him go, let alone let him go in this way...

  In front, there are three-color flags flying high, and under the three-color flags is the general flag with the word "Taishi" that once made Jizhou fearful.

  Liu Qi turned to look at Yi Ji, and Yi Ji also looked down at Liu Qi. Both of them saw some helplessness and worry in each other's eyes.

   Hussar General Fei Qian's reasons have always been aboveboard.

  Liu Biao is dying.

   This is not gossip, but what Zhang Ji said personally. Zhang Ji, who fled Jingzhou and moved to Chang'an, was interviewed by Fei Qian at the first time, and then revealed such a thing, in fact, Liu Biao's back carbuncle was already very serious. The knife technique was removed, and a lot of cold medicine was used to reduce inflammation and fire and suppress suppuration, but this also completely dampened Liu Biao's vitality. Normally, Liu Biao should rest and recover his vitality slowly, but now...

  When people get old, they are most afraid of hurting their vitality. Even to some extent, this invisible vitality is as important as life. Many old people are usually doing well, but they fell down, hurt some muscles and bones, and regained some vitality. Younger people are fine.

  Tai Shici, who is leading the army, naturally doesn't have any communication with Liu Qi, Yiji and others, and he doesn't even bother to say a word.

   This certainly has an element of Tai Shici's arrogance, but it also reduces some troubles. Because everyone knew that this time Liu Qi brought Jingzhou Mu's scepter to Xu County, and he himself was a big trouble.

   Fei Qian made it clear that the order was very simple, let Tai Shici **** Liu Qi to Xu County, meet the emperor, then bring him back, and send Liu Qi to Wancheng.

  Liu Qi still has a scroll of Feiqian's seal in his arms, which means that Liu Biao's eldest son is Liu Qi. As for whether the Emperor Liu Association will follow Fei Qian's arrangement, it doesn't matter at all. The important thing is to let Liu Qi show his face first...

   Feiqian is a hussar of the Han Dynasty. He recommended a minister, Liang Jiazidi, to meet the emperor. Is there a problem? Recommending talents to the emperor, isn't it in line with the rules of the big man?

  As for the follow-up questions caused by this, Fei Qian said that he can't control it, can't he?

  The sun is gradually setting to the west.

   Entering the Hongnong land boundary, I felt desolate when I saw it.

  Near Chang'an, even at night, it is lively. On the banks of the Jingwei River, dots of fireflies fly in the grass, cicadas chirp mixed with the sound of frogs, swaying in the breeze. The water waves, embankments, Zhuanghe, and short trees all seem to have a special vitality. The military barracks of the school field that is gradually quiet in the distance and the restaurants and restaurants nearby that have been brightly lit for many years form an interesting contrast. In the streets and alleys, there are grocery peddlers carrying burdens, and under the trees in the workshop, there are lively common people.

The weather in summer and autumn is hot. At night, most of the people are holding fans to enjoy the coolness, some are holding gold-painted fans, some are holding big cattail fans, but they are all shaking the wind to enjoy the coolness. When the night wind blows away the floating After getting hot, they went home to sleep.

  But in Hongnong, these scenes cannot be seen.

  There were not many people during the day, and when it was near night, everything was completely silent. There were occasional sounds, either wild dogs barking or jackdaws croaking. This situation added to the troubles and worries in Liu Qi's heart.

  For many "Second Generation Officials" with identity backgrounds, Liu Qi has a clearer understanding of this journey than before, and it is not a pleasant experience.

   Some things can be imagined. Once Liu Qi arrives in Xu County, he will definitely not be a popular person. Tai Shici's army is wandering around Sili, Heluo, and it is obviously not for an autumn outing.

   As for the emperor Liu Xie, what Sikong Cao Cao would think, Liu Qi is also hard to guess. Oh, now Cao Cao is no longer Sikong, because of the sign of seeing him again in three days, he was finally dismissed from the position of Sikong, but he was given the title of General Cheqi, or should he be called Cao Cheqi now?

  My future is uncertain, and the future is chaotic and unpredictable.

For Liu Qi, the only good news is that he has officially become a **** with some value from a meaningless abandoned pawn, and the price of this value change is his father's life in exchange for it. of.

  『Fei...Cao...』 Liu Qi blurted out these two words from between his teeth.

  Of course, Liu Qi can also choose to die fiercely, in the midst of cursing and scolding, he will kill himself and become a benevolent person, instead of being a pawn, and achieve his soul yearning for freedom.

   But the problem is that Liu Qi is afraid of death, dare not die, if he is really not afraid of death, he would have chosen to die a long time ago, why delay until now? Moreover, now, Liu Qi doesn't want to die even more, otherwise the grievances and sufferings he endured before will be in vain and worthless?

  Although Liu Qi's voice to himself was very low, Yi Ji who was at the side could barely hear him, so he couldn't help but frowned and glanced at Liu Qi. The previous Liu Qi was full of inappropriateness, so naturally his words and deeds were not in line with the rules, and because of this, he suffered and suffered, but has Liu Qi changed now? Can it be changed?

Yi Ji didn't know, he just knew that this trip, even if it was the last trip he took for the love affair with Liu Biao, and when Liu Qi obtained the status of Jingzhou Mu's heir, it would be regarded as fulfilling Liu Biao's entrustment. What will happen to Liu Qi in the future, whether there will be new opportunities and changes, are not things he can consider.

  Now this big man has no room for Liu Qi to develop and move around, or in other words, the whole big man will either take refuge in any one of the three points, or be cut off...

   It's like Jingzhou.

  Any state or county that wants to maintain its independence is already out of date and out of order.
