Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2401 Obedience Test

  When Sun Quan was not Sun Shiwan, he actually didn’t have much money in his hands.

   A lot of poor people.

   Buying a pair of patterned pants has to be weighed.

After all, the big money at that time was in the hands of his father and his brother, and his father and his brother liked to spend most of their money on the army. If it was some small daily personal expenses, it would be easy to approve, but like Sun Quan sometimes wants to buy an extra flowery dress to shine, find a few fans to drink some wine, etc. Basically speaking, it is difficult to get support.

When Sun Ce was still alive, Sun Quan was already spending a lot of money. Even if Sun Ce granted some money to him, it was still not enough. Sun Quan was embarrassed to ask Sun Ce for money. After all, he was afraid of being scolded by Sun Ce. If you beat me up, there's no place to cry, let alone if you're wronged, you can't hug Mrs. Wu's thigh...

  But the taste of having no money is the kind of pungent and bitter that can go from the nose to the forehead, and then directly into the heart, so Sun Quan couldn't bear it for a few days, and when there was nothing to do, he pulled his face and begged Lu Fan.

   Lu Fan was Sun Ce’s finance minister at the time, and he was transferred to manage money and food. Every time Sun Quan asked Lu Fan for money, Lu Fan turned around and told Sun Ce, and then Sun Ce went to Sun Quan's side. Sun Quan was so angry that he jumped up and resented him. He vowed to deal with Lu Fan in the future. .

Later, Sun Ce felt that going on like this was not an option, so he asked Sun Quan to become a county magistrate. On the one hand, he wanted to let Sun Quan understand some matters of people's livelihood management, and on the other hand, he also implied to Sun Quan that this county was Sun Quan's pocket money. Don't ask me for money from now on...

  Of course, this county was the only place that could be praised before Sun Quan came to power.

  But Jiangdong is a county, far from the prosperity of later generations.

   Dahan is now a county in Jiangdong, except that it is more convenient to eat salted fish, and there are no other special benefits. Therefore, the serious salary is not enough for Sun Quan's expenses, and Sun Quan can only find a way to mix his personal expenses into the public account for reimbursement.

   If this matter was done too much, people would naturally expose it. Sun Ce was very angry and asked to check the accounts. Sun Quan panicked and almost **** on Huayi. At that time, there was a meritorious officer in the county named Zhou Gu, who was not in charge of this matter, but when he saw Sun Quan was flustered, he made a fake account for Sun Quan, smoothed the past, and saved Sun Quan from punishment.

  Sun Quan was very grateful to Zhou Gu at that time, and his words of thanks without money were like a torrent of water, expressing that he would definitely repay Zhou Gu well in the future...

   After Sun Quan ascended to the position of Lord of Jiangdong, it seems that he should fulfill his promise, right? Sun Quan believes that Lu Fan is loyal to his duty and can be trusted. As for Zhou Gu, he should be dismissed for forging documents and making false accounts!

   Well, this is the "reward" of Sun Shiwan's model.

Of course, from another perspective, for Sun Quan, since he was a child, the imprint of money has been deeply engraved in his soul, and now, when Sun Quan wants to give away all these lovely little money , even knowing that this is part of the transaction, but heartache is unavoidable.

  『My lord…』

  Someone whispered outside the cabin.

"Come in! ”Sun Quan replied in a deep voice, and then looked at the confidant guards who entered the warehouse, “He left? 』

  The confidant guard nodded and said, "Then these "goods"..."

  『Send someone to Jiangdong immediately! 』Sun Quan said without thinking.

  The confidant guard responded, but did not turn around and go out immediately.

  Sun Quan frowned slightly and looked up.

  The confidant guard whispered: "General Zhou..."

  『Hmph…』Sun Quan frowned.

This batch of goods is living things, so it takes up a lot of space, and because it is the first transaction, the trust between the two parties is not high, so Sun Quan must come in person. Transactions do not need such trouble.

  Jiangdong is short of people, let alone war horses.

  Secondly, there is a lack of iron, weapons and so on.

And these things are like Fei Qian blocking trade and some things are prohibited from being sold outside. It is very difficult for Sun Quan to purchase in Cao Cao's territory normally. He can only use some underground and abnormal trading channels. This kind of channel can be very important, and even affect many aspects of Jiangdong. If Sun Quan can't control it personally, he will definitely be controlled by others!

  So, this time, no matter what, Sun Quan had to go.

  From this perspective, the hostile relationship is temporary, and the exchange of interests is permanent.

  Who has a grudge against money?

  For Sun Quan, being able to get scarce horses, population, weapons, irons, etc. means that he doesn't have to be stuck by those **** Jiangdong gentry in Jiangdong! It means having more voice! Have a thicker voice! Bigger tubes! What's more, I understand everything!

  As for the local officials of Cao Cao who secretly traded with Sun Quan, firstly, they could get a lot of income, and secondly, they could ensure that their territory would not be attacked by the Jiangdong army, and there was no threat of losing their land...

  Win-win!

   As for those people who are losing money, it’s okay if both parties in the transaction don’t lose money anyway?

  But after the transaction, there is the issue of transportation. There are no labels on these goods, even if there are labels, it is useless, whoever gets them belongs to them!

  Everything is according to plan!

Perfect! It couldn't be more perfect!

  If there is good wine now, Sun Quan wants to raise his glass high, and then drink a few glasses to reward himself.

  The only thing that is not perfect is Zhou Tai...

   Zhou Tai is currently in critical condition!

  The changes in the battlefield are often overwhelming.

  The news that Xu County received was often delayed. When Emperor Liu Xie thought that Xiapi was in danger, the real situation in the battlefield of Xiapi had reversed, and it was Zhou Tai who was in danger.

  Although Sun Quan has ordered Zhu Zhi to go to the rescue, Zhu Zhi has no boats, so he can only travel by land. On the one hand, the land road is slow, and on the other hand, it is not as convenient and safe as going by water.

  Because almost all ships are now controlled by Sun Quan and are used for trading and transshipment of goods.

   To save Zhou Tai, it is best to use ships, and to transport goods, obviously ships are also needed.

   Ships are limited and so is time.

   Now that the transaction is completed, whether to transport the goods first or to transport the soldiers to the rescue first has become the choice facing Sun Quan.

   Rescuing Zhou Tai is naturally very important...

   But is it important that Zhou Tai has these goods?

  These ships loaded with cargo must leave the battlefield immediately, immediately, and immediately, and they must be safely and securely in the hands of the Jiangdong Sun family before they can be said to be completely foolproof!

What's more, the transaction this time is secret, and Sun Quan doesn't want to make it a one-off, so it is impossible to keep the goods in Jiangbei for a long time, otherwise, once the news leaks, even if Sun Quan wants to continue to keep the transaction channel smooth, I am afraid that there will be many follow-up problems.

  Therefore, either try our best to rescue Zhou Tai, or try our best to cover up the trading channel!

  Each half, or if both sides want it, I am afraid that both sides have risks!

  『Zhou Youping...』 Sun Quan's face gradually became serious.

Zhou Tai is undoubtedly loyal to Sun Quan, just like Sun Quan's left and right arms. He is a general who was raised by Sun Quan himself. He was born and died for Sun Quan, and for Sun Quan. , for Sun Quan, Zhou Tai can give everything...

  『Order! Hurry up and ship Jiangdong! ”Sun Quan made a decision, and emphasized again, “As for Zhou Youping... I believe that Youping will be safe and sound…”

  ... (⊙_⊙;)...

  Tan County.

  In fact, the biggest advantage of Tan County is not the city wall, but the continuous spring rain before.

   After the rain line headed south and left Tan County, Zang Ba's offensive was carried out wave after wave.

  Especially the siege equipment soaked by rain, although it is more difficult to be pushed in the mud, it is also more difficult to be burned, and can only be smashed with wood and rolling stones!

   But the problem is that there are not many reserves of wood rolling stones in Tan County...

Zang Ba also became ruthless, gritted his teeth and drove the captured people from the surrounding area to be the pioneers, and constantly coaxed these people to rush forward, no matter men or women, no matter old or young, under the coercion of Bingfeng, they cried Shouting forward, stumbling and moving, like a group of bleating sheep heading to a slaughterhouse.

   Don't you know that going forward is a dead end?

   Could it be that if you don’t know if you continue to walk, you will end up like those corpses next to you, with no place to bury you?

   No, these people know it all.

   Some people may think that as long as someone raises their arms and shouts, someone will follow, but in fact, even if someone is willing to jump out and lead the resistance at the moment, it is useless. Because as long as you see the blank and numb eyes of these common people, you can understand that the situation is different from what the keyboard man imagined.

  These people have been screened out again and again in the obedience test mode...

   At the beginning, these people did not feel that they would die in the next moment.

  Everyone is afraid of death, and no one is willing to face death directly!

Just like later generations of companies are using obedience tests to select employees with high obedience. At the beginning, they did not let employees kneel down, kowtow, beat each other, climb the street with a dog leash, and finally die suddenly on the job. It's a group dance, from turning off the phone to turning it in, and finally to disclosing the private information of the phone, or doing some wretched things under the name of breaking the ice, etc.

  Among all the people that Zang Ba is currently expelling, it is also not clear from the beginning that these people are going to die...

  Among the people who were asked to leave their homes just now, those who resisted were killed. The rest of the people felt that leaving their homes was very uncomfortable, but they were still alive and would not die...

Then it was further required to be bound into a row, to be formed into a group like cattle and sheep, there must be a part of the resistance, and then they were also killed, and the rest of the people felt that although it was a bit painful to wear ropes and shackles, they were still alive. won't die yet...

Then further request, let these people do heavy work such as digging soil and making equipment, and then the part that resisted was killed, and the rest felt that although the work was very tiring and hard, they could still have something to eat and drink after the work was done. , can still survive, can still live, can't die...

Then ask a small part to die, randomly selected, there must be some visionaries who feel that the next big thing is not good, jump up, and then get killed in the blank and numb eyes of others, the rest is to watch, feel to die It's just those few, I can still live...

In the end, when most of them asked to die, all those who had the ability to resist and the spirit of resistance had basically been eliminated in the previous screening process. At this time, not to mention one keyboard man, there would be ten or hundreds of them. It's useless for the keyboard man to raise his arms and shout!

  Because these remaining people are all obedient, and do not understand what resistance is.

   Only when a new batch of troops rush in to defeat Zang Ba and Cao Jun, and let these people see the blood of the original ruler with their own eyes, maybe something can be changed...

  As for now, the corpses have filled the ditch and filled the city, and the bleating two-legged sheep moved forward with tears.

   Howled and cried, knowing that it was a dead end, but no sheep dared to turn back and resist.

  The defenders on the top of the city threw down everything that could be thrown without any pity, shot out a few arrows, and poured down the vat of boiling water!

   These people who have nothing to hide and have no armor at all can only resist with flesh!

Fall down layer by layer, die piece by piece, just like rotten Chinese cabbage in winter, peeled off one by one, from strong to decay, from a big one to a handful, and finally disappear…

   Then there is another group of new two-legged sheep, stepping on the footsteps of the times, and bleating into the arena.

   Everyone needs these people, but when there is a problem, no one needs them.

Strictly speaking, only the Great Han Dynasty Hall, the Emperor Liu Xie needs it the most, and cares most about these people, because no matter where the sheep, whether it is the East China Sea, or Xiapi, as long as it is on the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is the Emperor Liu Xie. What is valued, what is needed, and what needs to be protected, because no matter where the people are, they can increase taxes for the Han Kingdom, year after year, generation after generation.

   But the problem is that the emperor Liu Xie's hand is too short, he can't reach it! He didn't even dare to guarantee that he could protect his own butt, so how could he protect the people of Donghai County?

  The next-level protector of these Donghai people should be Chang Xi. But what did Chang Xi do when he took office? He was unequivocal when eating, drinking and drinking. He was really at a loss when Zang Ba Cao Cao invaded, and he didn't see any mercy when he killed the people who were supposed to be guarded by him.

   Those who are supposed to be protectors no longer protect the people. Do you still expect the aggressors to have any shining points of humanity? Then show mercy?

As for Cao Cao, who looks vicious at the moment, from a business point of view, Chang Xichang, the owner of Taishan Group’s Donghai branch, did not manage well, and then Cao’s group launched a merger war. During the merger war, Chang Xi misdirected and was defeated. The company is about to collapse, tens of thousands of workers are about to lose their jobs, cut off their income...

   Then Boss Cao should be responsible for the survival of all the tens of thousands of employees under Boss Haochang before he can merge?

   Now it is only in the Han Dynasty, which still had a small part of slavery in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the people in the East China Sea without their protectors were gathered together, surrounded by a forest of spears, crying and waiting, and it was their turn to set off in the next wave to fill in the flesh and blood slaughterhouse . Thousands of people in Donghai County have become human shields that consume the rolling logs and rocks of the defenders of Tan County, and the boiling water of arrows!

  On the mound of soil, Cao Cao and the troops of the Cao army just looked at everything in front of them blankly.

  If Zang Ba is the ruler of the obedience test for the people of the East China Sea, then Cao Cao is the master of the obedience test for the Taishan Army and Zang Ba and others.

  Although the city walls of Tan County seem to be covered with blood and flesh, in Cao Cao's heart, there is still no disturbance. He is just calculating how many people are left and how long it will take.

  Furthermore, although the scene in front of me is cruel, what is it compared to the previous Luoyang migration and the chaotic wars in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jizhou?

   This small town in Tan County will be filled in soon!

  Cao Cao pointed with a whip, looked around, and said with a smile: "You will know today that the Taishan Army and Zangchang's dispute can be divided into top and bottom!" 』

  Among the crying and howling all over the sky, Cao Cao's laughter was not loud, only the generals around him heard it, and the rest was just a vague idea. But seeing Cao Cao laughing, everyone also laughed along with him. For Cao Jun and the others, Zang Ba and Chang Xi, whoever loses and who wins are almost the same.

   Zang Ba originally wanted to procrastinate, and Cao Cao knew it in his heart. The reason why he didn't point it out was because it was unnecessary. Now Zang Ba is willing to end all this earlier, so he will end it sooner. Anyway, staying in this place, Cao Cao also feels a little annoyed. The key is that Cao Jun’s soldiers have always just watched the Taishan Army divide into two parts and fight each other. There is no meritorious service to speak of. , and there is nothing to sing or cry about, it really makes Cao Jun's soldiers unmotivated.

  At the same time, Cao Cao also received news that Sun Quan had arrived in Guangling, and he should be approaching Xiapi by now. So if this is not resolved as soon as possible, then Xiapi will inevitably be threatened by the Jiangdong Army!

To be honest, Cao Cao didn't care that the Chen family and the Jiangdong army had a **** fight, or that the underpants of both sides fell off in the real fight. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, he turned his head...

uh-huh!

   That would be no fun, so Tan County must be captured as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao can advance and retreat freely, flexibly pose in various poses, and choose the most appropriate time to march!

  『Dian Aiqing! 』

  『The minister is here! 』

  Cao Cao pointed at Tan County with a horsewhip, "If Dian Aiqing leads three hundred black tiger guards and hides among the common people... can you break the city first in one fell swoop?" 』

  Cao Cao felt that the heat was almost up now, and the meat was almost cooked. If he waited any longer, the meat might be burnt or someone might eat it first, so he decided to do it himself.

  『Within three drums, you will be the first to climb! ’ Dian Wei said without hesitation.

  Cao Cao immediately made a decision, and immediately sent troops to cover Dianwei, and feinted to attack the northeast corner of Tan County!

When Boss Cao moved the banner, it was earth-shattering. Even though he knew there might be a problem, most people's eyes would still be attracted to him, like hitting someone with a ball. He knew he should stare at someone, but his gaze Can't help but follow the ball...

After all, everyone in Tan County is already exhausted. All the soldiers in battle, whether they are laborers, are all mechanical and almost instinctive. Attracted by Cao Cao's big ball, even ordinary wise men, It may not be able to immediately think of the four words "sound from the east to strike the west", and with Chang Xi, the wild boar, even if he thinks of it, he may not be able to prevent it.

So after Cao Cao squeezed away Zang Ba and showed off his beautiful biceps in the city, Dian Wei led his men to seize the opportunity and rushed to the northwest corner of Tan County. Climb!

Chang Xi tried to lead the remaining guards to expel Dian Wei, but he was Dian Wei's opponent. Zhu Tu may be effective for ordinary generals, but Dian Wei's force value can single-handedly defeat a tiger, so Chang Xi's wild boar The head soon fell into Dian Wei's hands.

  Dian Wei, who was like a black tower, raised Chang Xi's head high, and after shouting that classic sentence, everything seemed dull...
