Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2082 Zigui dedicates the city, there are details in the rough

  In the dim light of the government hall of Zigui Mansion, Qi Wukai looked at Lu Jie and said, "The only thing to worry about now is... if we confront each other here, we won't be able to escape..."

   Don’t think that those who sit in high positions should be concerned about the people, just like Qi Wukai, even though he is a well-known Confucian in Jingzhou, when he really encounters something, he still thinks about himself first.

Zigui was previously neglected, and neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan cared about it. In a way, this is not a bad thing. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so I can be at ease, but now that the hussars are here, should I surrender? In addition, if one's own family falls into this front and pulls back and forth, wouldn't one's life be in danger?

   Although Qi Wukai has lived for more than 40 years, he still doesn't want to die. He still wants to live comfortably for another 40 or 50 years, and he doesn't want to confess to being here in Zigui so soon.

   Lu Jie sneered and said: "Don't say that this is Zigui, there are so many refugees outside, and they consume hundreds of stones in a day. Seeing that autumn and winter are approaching, I can't bear it at that time... I am afraid that you and I will also die among the rioters!" It's dead anyway, why not seek a way out? 』

After all, Lu Jie has led the army to some extent. What kind of virtues are the people in his home in Zigui? He himself can't run away either!

  There is Jiangdong in the east and hussars in the west. Where else can they go? Could it be like Qu Yuan, who plunged headlong into the Zigui River?

Qi Wukai nodded, but hesitated, "If the cavalry is not strong..." Qi Wukai is not a shrewd person, at most he is a little better than ordinary people, especially because he is a bit bookish, thinking about things before and after, Looking left and right is also a common problem of this type of people. Obviously, there is already some emotion in his heart, but You Zi is determined not to let go of his airs.

  『When it comes to reality, we still have to speak with swords and guns! Lu Jie nodded and said, "The county lord's concern is also reasonable, but I heard that if the world is talking about the strength of soldiers and horses... the hussars are second to none!" 』Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Jie almost sighed. Back then Lu Jie also met Hussar General Fei Qian, and even had a drink together, but now...

  Qi Wukai was also a little embarrassed. When he held an important position under Liu Biao, Hussar General Fei Qian was just a little transparent, and was even pinched by Kuai Shi, but now he has to bow his head to Jiangling, who is under the command of Hussars.

  The current situation is indeed different from the past.

  The political light and dark rules that have been practiced by the Han Dynasty for more than three hundred years have basically collapsed now. Whether they are willing or unwilling, people who are in it have already seen some of them and felt the changes. The old man’s original bureaucratic system’s operating mode, recommendation system, and the restrictive balance between relatives, eunuchs, and Qingliu are all broken at the moment, and countless people fall down, while the new characters who stand up are stuck in each other’s place, walking away. At the forefront is a seemingly insignificant little person back then...

  『Send someone to contact General Huqi to conquer Shu...』 Qi Wukai looked up at the sky, and said slowly, 『That’s the only way to go...』

   After a night of silence, after contacting the hussars, the Zigui people finally saw the true face of Wei Yan, the general who conquered Shu.

  The refugees who were originally outside Zigui City had already fled far away in a panic. Even the cats in the ground nest quickly scrambled to the side, fearing that they would block the way of the army and become unjust ghosts.

It is common to see army formations in the countryside, the worst are those under the command of powerful men, these people usually have some capital to play martial arts, and they can also recruit some rascals to act as thugs. There is no order of rules. The better ones are the county soldiers and county soldiers who have more or less formal training and can understand the orders of the army. A dozen or twenty can stand in a line and form an array...

But ordinary soldiers in counties and counties can at best only wipe out bandits, or calm down the fighting in surrounding villages. Even if they know the formation, they still look good during the drill, but when they really drive out, what formation to cover is all talk No, the two teams are often mixed together, shouting, pushing and shoving, and they get into a mess before they fight.

If there is no comparison, you will naturally see anything, that is, everything is good, even if you are juggling on a unicycle, it is still a "strong army". After seeing the men and horses brought by Wei Yan, the soldiers of the county couldn't help but panic...

Pairs of flags fluttered high, and the solemn and silent queue, even the lightly armored soldiers standing at the front, wore battle armor and robes, from pockets to skirts, it was obvious that the uniform system was a good thing, Not to mention the platoon of heavy armored soldiers under General Zhengshu's flag, they were even more murderous, armed to the teeth.

When such a procession marches in, there is no need to say anything, or even a special order. The surrounding noises seem to be choked by the throat. Even if you want to say something, you can't say it. , and then realized that the gurgling sound was not the sound of his own throat, but the sound of teeth colliding with each other.

  This is really a strong army!

   A strong army of one class and one class!

Especially those soldiers in heavy armor in the middle, they are sturdy, their demeanor is solemn and quiet, and they seem a little relaxed, like lazy tigers, even if they lie lazily, they will not make people feel that there is no threat .

   After all, these hundreds of soldiers are really scary.

There are more than a hundred strong men, who are already burly, and with the armor on the outer ring, they are like iron towers. Standing there, they are full of deterrence, especially when the big men are relatively malnourished and short in stature. At present, the more burly these strong men are, it means that they can afford heavy armor, and they can naturally use large weapons, which means that the more they can persist in arduous and fierce fighting, the more tyrannical their lethality.

   We got a little closer, when Lu Jie saw some faint patterns on the armor of these soldiers, he couldn't help being startled, and exclaimed: "Hundreds of steelmaking! It turned out to be a hundred steel refiners! 』

After the steel is folded, forged, and then polished, some unstable lines will be formed on the surface, and these lines are almost synonymous with expensive in the big man, and if the armor made of this steel is worn on the body , almost equivalent to a few more lives, but also immune to a lot of damage.

  In the land of Jingzhou, ordinary heavy armor is rare. If you don’t have a certain status, you may not even have armor, let alone such as the hussars, who use this hundred-smelted steel as armor pieces!

If in battle, ordinary soldiers encounter such an opponent, I am afraid that most of them can only run away immediately. What if they hit, even if they hit, there will be a flash of jingle sparks, the opponent has no damage, and then they will come back with a knife and take it for themselves. What to resist? Take the mud shell that hasn't been bathed for many years to resist?

  Standing under the flag, Wei Yan looked coldly at the top of the Zigui city, waved to the side, and said to Wang Shuang, "Look at the guy on the top of the city, is he the county magistrate of Zigui?" 』

  Wang Shuang squinted his eyes slightly, looked carefully, nodded and said: "That's right, the one next to you is the Zigui county lieutenant, please send troops and money, and met once when we were exterminating bandits..."

   Wei Yan nodded, then looked from the left side of the city wall all the way to the right side, and frowned at the slack and lack of fighting spirit of the soldiers on the city wall. Are these guys acting, or is that really the case?

   But no matter which one it is, a certain one will follow!

  Even if the gates of the Wengcheng were closed, Wei Yan would still have thunderbolts in his hands. Suddenly, even if archers were ambushed on the city wall, they might not be able to cause much damage to the heavy armored soldiers, but the risk is indeed greater...

Although it is said that there is an urn city in Zigui County, according to the investigation a few days ago, the strength of this urn city is average, and even because of disrepair for a long time, the stones in some places are broken, and they have not been repaired in time. Bricks and stones clogged indiscriminately...

   Moreover, the corner gate in Zigui Urn City is still made of wood! Although the corner door is narrow and straight up and down, but without iron shackles and copper locks, it is a flaw!

In addition, few people in Zigui City would have guessed that Wei Yan had already prepared the battle assignment here. It would be fine if he really surrendered. If it was a false surrender, it would not be a big deal if Wei Yan had already prepared. It's just a matter of time and effort!

   Wei Yan stared at the head of Zigui City, ready to fight.

  Flags and flags are flying, and the formation of soldiers is solemn.

   Wei Yan raised his chin, the guards on the side understood, and stepped forward to shout to the top of the city...

On the city wall, Qi Wukai was already stunned. Even though he was not familiar with the formation of soldiers, he understood what these powerful soldiers meant when he saw the scene in front of him. .

  『County respect! Qu Huang said from the side, "Haven't you opened the door to invite the general in?" I'm afraid that if he doesn't act again, he will become suspicious! 』

  『Oh...that’s exactly it...』Qi Wukai came back to his senses, touched Lu Jie, turned his head, and smiled slightly, "Thank you, little friend, for your good report... Come here!" 』

  A soldier stood aside, Qi Wukai stretched out his hand and bent his fingers, "Tie up this traitor!" 』

  Then Qi Wukai did not look at the inexplicably surprised Qu Huang, stretched out his hands to straighten his crown and robe, turned around and ordered loudly: "Kaicheng, come in with a certain welcome general!" Now that they are protected by hussars, the people of Zigui will have no worries! 』

  『County... dog official! ’ Qu Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he could not help but curse out loudly, ‘Did Jingzhou lose to you? ! Such unfaithful and unrighteous behavior is not as good as a poodle...』

  『Slap your mouth! Lu Jie stared, "Get some mud and gag this dog's mouth!" 』

   A soldier came, and when he stretched out his hand, there was a crackling sound, causing Qu Huang's left and right cheeks to become red and swollen instantly, and then he squeezed Qu Huang's teeth, and the mud that was dug out from the gutter of the city wall was pasted into it!

  The smell of rot and stench rushed straight up, coupled with running back and forth for the past few days, and mentally exhausted from thinking, Qu Huang couldn't hold it anymore after all, he closed his eyes and passed out...

   When Qu Huang woke up again, he was no longer on the top of the city, but in the hall, the surrounding light and shadow were dim, the figures were shaking, and the cheeks were swollen and painful, and the inside of the throat...

  『Uh...cough cough cough...』Qu Huang couldn't help turning over and coughing and throwing up.

  『Give him some water! 』A deep voice sounded from the front.

A water bag fell in front of him, Qu Huang didn't think much about it, he lifted the water bag and rinsed it for a while, then took a few sips, gasping for breath, only to realize that he was back in the hall of Zigui. Sitting upright in the middle of the hall, it was Wei Yan, Qi Wukai and Lu Jie who sat down with him, looking at him with an indescribable gaze...

  『Dog officer! 』Qu Huang was about to rush forward suddenly, but felt that his shoulders sank, and it was difficult to take a step, but You Qi was extremely angry, and threw the water bag in his hand towards Qi Wukai.

  The water in the water bag splashed all over the place and splashed on Qi Wukai's face.

Qi Wukai raised his brows and eyes, then moved his eyes sideways to Wei Yan's place, and then immediately relaxed, wiped his face with his sleeve slowly, and forced out a smile: "It seems that my little friend, I have a deep misunderstanding...」

Qu Huang still had to struggle before cursing, but the strength on his shoulders was getting stronger and stronger. After all, he was still a half-sized man. How could he hold it up? With a groan, he was pushed back again, and he found a big and round Wei Yan standing behind him. The guard was grinning at him.

  『You hate him? ’ Wei Yan pointed to Qi Wukai, ‘How much hate? Haha, give him a knife! 』

  The guard standing behind Qu Huang subconsciously touched the saber at his waist, but seeing Wei Yan shaking his head slightly, he pulled out a small knife from his boots and threw it in front of Qu Huang with a bang.

  『! 』Qu Huang froze for a moment.

  『Σ(дlll)! ’ Before Qu Huang could understand, Qi Wukai rushed out with a bang, prostrating himself on the ground, “General! General! I still have a relationship with the hussar...the general can't do this...』

  『Hahahaha...』 Wei Yan signaled the guards to put away the knife, then waved his hand to make the guards swing down.

  Qu Huang struggled, turned around and shouted: "General! General, I have something to say! 』

  Wei Yan signaled, "If you have anything to say, say it!" 』

  『If I really killed this dog official with a knife, what should I do? Qu Huang stared at Qi Wukai and asked.

  Wei Yan glanced at Qi Wukai, and then said lightly: "Someone admires you as a man...then beheaded your head, and washed Qu's Village with blood, and was buried with Qi Wukai..."

  The faces of Qi Wukai, Lu Jie, and Qu Huang who were present at the scene all changed.

   People who need to be responsible for their own actions may be able to enjoy their grievances for a while, but it doesn't mean that the follow-up things will be the same...

   Qu Huang gritted his teeth and stared at Wei Yan, as if he wanted to accuse and scold something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just clenched his fists tightly and trembled a little.

  Wei Yan smiled and asked, "Do you know why they don't use your trick of feigning surrender?" 』

  Looking at Qi Wukai, Qu Huang sneered, his contempt was beyond words: "You who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Like a dolphin dog, how can it achieve great things? ! 』

  Qi Wukai's eyebrows trembled in anger, and he almost stood up to curse, but squinted at Wei Yan, and forcibly endured it.

"Oh? Wei Yan smiled, and asked Qu Huang again, "If the tactic of feigning surrender is really used...there will be countless casualties inside and outside the city of Zigui... I don't know if you have ever thought about it?" 』

   Before Qu Huang could answer, Qi Wukai hurriedly said, "That's exactly what I think!" The people are so innocent, the Hussar General has the virtue of living, so why should he die...』

  『Mmm…』Wei Yan nodded, then waved his hand, signaling Qi Wukai not to continue talking, staring at Qu Huang, 「I want to hear your thoughts...」

   Qi Wukai smacked his lips twice, and sat back helplessly.

  Qu Huang looked a little dazed, "This... I have never thought of this before..."

  Wei Yan nodded, "It's okay, you can go down and think about it first..." This is also normal. It is not bad for a teenager and a half to reach this level.

  After Qu Huang was taken down by the guards, Wei Yan just looked at Qi Wukai and Lu Jie, didn't speak immediately, just stared.

  As soon as Wei Yan didn't speak, the atmosphere in the hall was substantive, oppressive and dull. Qi Wukai and Lu Jie felt as if there was an invisible hand pressing down on their heads. Even if they wanted to straighten their bodies, it was a bit difficult. I don't know if it was a psychological factor or something else. The reason is that the bones in the neck are also rattling and extremely stiff...

  『Having a chance with Hushi, and having a good time, you can use this to judge this general, thinking that this general will not dare to kill you and the other two? ”Wei Yan broke the silence, “How many people in the world have seen hussars, and how many people in Chang'an have raised their glasses to drink with hussars, and they can't kill them? 』

  『I… I don’t dare to…』Qi Wukai was sweating profusely.

  『I know my mistake, I know my mistake...』 Lu Jie also kowtowed again and again.

  『Under the hussars, those who need talents directly, and those who hate flattery! Wei Yan said coldly, "If you talk about human feelings, you will resign from your post and go to office. When you go to Guanzhong and Xijing, you will also have delicious food and hospitality!" However, if he is appointed, he will only do nothing and delay political affairs. Even if Qu's son does not do anything, no one will be left under the military law! 』

   Qi Wukai and Lu Jie kowtowed again and again, and then retreated respectfully under Wei Yan's order. They glanced at each other, as if they were still alive after a catastrophe.

  『I thought this general who conquered Shu was a vulgar person...』 Lu Jie muttered as he walked out, "I never thought..."

  『Silence! ’Qi Wukai looked back, and then couldn’t help but also let out a long sigh, ‘Ah...it’s really...under the prestige, there are absolutely no worthless people...’

  The two of them looked at each other again, then put on a straight face, and parted ways to do things according to Wei Yan's order...

  In the hall, Wei Yan pondered for a moment, waved to the guards, and said: "That son of the Qu family, first put him in custody for a few days, and after grinding his temper... I will ask in a few days if he is willing to join the army..."

   The guard nodded in agreement, and then asked: "General, what if the kid doesn't want to?" 』

   Wei Yan laughed, and slapped the guard's pocket, "Go! That kid is not as stupid as you! 』

When the blade was thrown on the ground, Qi Wukai was just begging in fear, but Wei Yan could see clearly that Qu Huang was not frightened, but subconsciously picked it up, and just glanced left and right. After taking a second look, he stopped abruptly...

  This kid is a little bit interesting, he has to carve it out, not to mention whether it can be used to great effect, anyway, Wei Yan thinks, at least he will be better than Qi Wukai...
