Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2845 Life and death

"died? 』

   Fei Qian was a little surprised.

  Because the arrest this time can be said to be a joint operation of Dali Temple and Youwen Division, and the man was found out, but unfortunately he died.

   This is a bit embarrassing.

   Kan Ze lowered his head, not daring to look at Fei Qian. He felt ashamed. Although he didn't kill it himself, but in the last link, it can indeed be said that his subordinates made a mistake. The mistakes of his subordinates are his subordinates' business, and his subordinates will accept relevant punishments, but the responsibility is Kan Ze's business. He needs to shoulder the responsibility instead of saying that it is the fault of the big one, and then let it go.

  『There is a huge disparity in personal martial arts among the divisions, and I believe that more training should be done,’ Kan Ze reported.

   Fei Qian nodded slightly. This is not because Fei Qian didn't know, but because he couldn't remember it. The information of future generations is too complicated, so that in many cases useful, somewhat useful and basically useless information are mixed together, and there is no logical connection, making it difficult to use effectively most of the time.

   Just like this arrest operation, after what Kan Ze said, Fei Qian remembered that the training programs of the army and the police are not exactly the same in later generations.

   To put it simply, the army focuses on effective killing, but the police pay more attention to effective arrest. Although in some cases, the army will also capture some living things, but those living things are often only able to live for a while, which is a one-off, and the police also have the death penalty for arresting criminals, but the death penalty is for education and regulation , is obedience to the law, not private killing.

  That’s why Kan Ze said that some of Wensi’s subordinates need to be retrained. Fei Qian should have known about retraining this point, and brought it up, but Fei Qian forgot...

"This matter..." Fei Qian said slowly, "It can be combined with the inspection office... Well, it is not very appropriate. In this way, a special training department will be added in the martial arts hall, and elite scouts will be deployed as instructors to arrest , lurking, identification is the key, and training related skills are taught...Well, the participants in the training are all masked, and they use false names and surnames to avoid identity disclosure...Jiaowutang Special Training Section is set up in Qinling Mountains, and additionally opened Camp... Shiyuan, please write down... the supplies and consumables needed, and go to the account of the Hussar Mansion...』

  Fei Qian gave a solution similar to that of later generations. Although it is impossible to be as rigorous and standardized as later generations, it is quite sufficient for the present. The personnel use pseudonyms to each other, the relatively hidden Qinling area, and the independent training space. Even if they want to find out whether they are from a certain department through checking accounts or tracking and transferring materials, they will be guided to the Huqi Mansion. In terms of avoiding the exposure of the news department's personnel.

   After all, the most important thing about the Youwen Division is the secrecy of its personnel. If everyone knows how many people there are in the Youwen Division, what they look like, and what are their names, then how can they keep it secret?

  After solving one problem, it is natural to deal with the second problem now...

  Fan Cong.

  Although it is said that Fan Cong identified Liu Ci, it is certain that Fan Cong has not returned to Shandong with a high probability, but because he was identified on the spot, there is no guarantee that Fan Cong has not been exposed...

  At the same time, in this incident of Liu Ci, it also shows that Liu Ci actually had some precautions against Fan Cong at the beginning. At least after Liu Ci entered Chang'an, he did not get in touch with Fan Cong immediately. This has actually proved that Fan Cong's utility is diminishing marginally, and it is estimated that it will approach zero soon.

Three waves of people died in succession, but Fan Cong was safe and sound. This will naturally arouse Shandong's suspicion. Once Fan Cong is really listed as the object of suspicion, even if Fan Cong is placed on the periphery, he will not gain much. utility. So now, either continue to wait for the marginal utility to make some gains, or take advantage of Liu Ci's death before it is fully passed back to Shandong, and do something.

  『My lord, I have an idea.』 Pang Tong smiled and said, "Anyway, staying in Tongguan doesn’t seem to be very effective. He might not dare to let him go back, so…”

  Pang Tong chuckled, "Let him die once!" 』

  …(;Д)…

"What? 』

  When Fan Cong heard "death", he was so frightened that he almost peed out.

  In Fan Cong's feeling, it was as if the sky was falling apart, all the objects were shaking and lost their colors, leaving only black and white.

  The person on the opposite side also turned into a figure, and seemed to be making some buzzing noise, but Fan Cong couldn't hear it clearly.

  There is always a huge gap between ideal and reality.

  In reality, Fan Cong is afraid of death, but in his ideals back then, he believed that he would not be afraid of death. It's like young people think that they are very heroic and can point out the country, but the reality is that they finally find out that they are crushed by the country, and even when they want to escape from the country at the age of thirty-five, they find that they are not even qualified to become a monk same.

  Since being caught by Youwen Division, Fan Cong has been unable to sleep well almost every night. Before going to bed, you have to look at the doors and windows, check the corners of the house to see if there are any mistakes, whether there are any killers hidden, and then wake up several times during sleep, and then suddenly turn over and stare at Doors and windows, or the corners of the house, because somewhere in the dream, the person who killed him jumped out...

  He was terrified and restless day and night, so that he couldn't handle his daily affairs.

   It's just that Ma Yue in Tongguan knows what Fan Cong is, so he doesn't care what Fan Cong can handle during the day.

  But this made Fan Cong even more nervous.

   Because he knows, he only has this value left.

   Value as bait. Like hanging on a hook, dangling in the water, waiting for the next fish to come up. No matter who is holding the boom, they are looking forward to whether the next fish will be big or fat, and who cares whether the earthworm twisting on the hook hurts or not, waiting to be caught by the fish? Do you get scared when you swallow it?

   Now it's finally time...

  Fan Cong froze, like an earthworm who had given up everything.

  『…Did you hear that? Do you want to go to Cochin or the snow area afterwards? 』

  Fan Cong felt the figure swaying in front of him, his voice vibrating, and then the meaning of his words slowly penetrated into his mind.

"ah? ’ Fan Cong was stunned for a moment.

"After about one or two terms of office, according to the performance of the term, there is still a chance for promotion... You should first decide where you want to go..." The figure was shaking, and the voice continued to echo in his ears, "But now we have to do this thing first good…"

  Fan Cong suddenly felt that he was alive again, and all the colors and scenes were restored, "I..."

  Fan Cong found that his throat was as dry as Gobi, where it hasn’t rained for a year. The stones and gravel rubbed against each other, making a hoarse voice, “I… can still live? 』

  …(^~)…

   Luo Yang.

   Luoyang City turned from a magnificent capital to ruins, with only a fire in the middle.

   It was the spirit of the Eastern Han Dynasty that burned the fire. On the list of sacrificial objects, there is obviously the name of Hongnong Yang.

   No one would be willing to be a funeral object.

   But whether to rely on Cao Cao to resurrect or rely on Fei Qian to resurrect, this is a huge problem.

  In terms of feelings and friendship, relying on Cao Cao's resurrection is undoubtedly more in line with Yang's habits.

  But in terms of swords and guns and economy, Fei Qian undoubtedly has a stronger appeal.

   So is the choice an emotional need, or a practical life?

   Spirit, or matter?

  Yang's people are going crazy.

  Yang Biao and other older generations only want to preserve the Yang family for generations to come. As for whether it is east or west, it is a secondary issue. The young people are different. They need a way out and want more opportunities. They find that Luoyang is too small and the world is too big.

  Yang Biao tried hard to maintain a family, but the children in the family resisted Yang Biao, thinking that Yang Biao restricted them, hindered them, and prevented them from expanding outward...

  Yang Biao thinks the outside world is too dangerous, but the children at home think the outside world is wonderful.

   These children dare not go to Yang Biao, but they will secretly scold Yang Biao behind his back.

  Yang Xiu was angry because of this.

  He understood Yang Biao's good intentions, but he couldn't convince all the children.

  If a brat can use reason to convince him, he can't be called a brat.

The support for Yang Xiu to persevere is very simple. Whether it is Cao Cao, Fei Qian, or the emperor of Han, they all need manpower after all. If the Yang family can manage a piece of white land and a ruined city in an orderly manner, then the Yang family will naturally It also shows the value of self.

  If there is a war in the world, there will be chaos. After there is chaos, it must be cured.

  Then, by that time, the whole Yang family will not have to bear the risks in the process, and they can happily take office to enjoy the final results, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

   It's just that ideals belong to ideals, and reality belongs to reality.

   Knowing the general principles is actually not difficult, the difficult thing is doing.

  Yang Xiu did it very hard.

   Not only the brats in the family, but also the common people in Luoyang.

He not only wants to govern the people with Shandong's set of propriety, justice, shame, loyalty, filial piety, and benevolence, but also to guide the people so that the head of Guizhou can understand the truth. , don't complain, don't complain, don't be picky about this, don't be picky about that, don't make jokes...

   But unsuccessfully.

   Very unsuccessfully.

  Shandong people are kept in captivity near the manor, and they work from dawn to dusk every day. Although these people may not know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are, they know that if they can't do it for a day, they won't have food for a day, so they have to do it. The most important point is that the people in Shandong don't have access to the outside world, they don't know there are hussars.

   And the common people in Luoyang know.

  The traveling caravan brought information from the outside world.

  The Li people in Luoyang City will discuss the style and appearance of Chang'an at the meeting, will explore the Hu Feng of the Western Regions, and will express that the people around Sanfu in Chang'an can receive free coal to drive out the cold when the snow is falling! The most important thing is that they saw that the members of the Yang clan had food, drink, charcoal and welfare security, but they did not...

  『Those who have a country and a family don’t suffer from scarcity but inequality, and don’t suffer from poverty but anxiety. Gai Jun has no poverty, no widows, and peace. 』

  Yang Biao and Yang Xiu both know this sentence, but if they really want to do it...

so hard.

He can't spend his own money to give benefits to the people like Fei Qian, he can't give up the interests of the family to take care of ordinary people, and he is not willing to really consider what the people's real needs are, so he I am very distressed, why has it become more and more difficult for Luoyang people to take care of them in recent years?

  Why should it be given to these people?

   Isn't Luoyang City the Yang family's?

   These Luoyang people who don't understand anything, why can't they understand the Yang family? Why can't Luo Yang be measured? The Yang family is so weak, and Luo Yang is so dilapidated, they still want so many demands, what kind of benefits are they thinking about?

  『Report! 』

   Someone from the hall came and bowed down to the ground.

"What's up? ’ Yang Xiu asked without raising his head.

  『Someone in Hangu seems to have escaped, and is being hunted down by Hussar scouts! Coming to Luoyang! 』

"What? ! 』Yang Xiu stood up suddenly, almost knocked over the table, and didn't care to rub his legs that hit the table, so he stood up hastily, and went to the city wall, while walking, he ordered , "Close the city gate!" Don't let them in! 』

  When he reached the city wall, Yang Xiu looked at the smoke and dust getting closer, "What's going on? How could someone escape from Hangu all of a sudden? 』

  『I don’t know,』 said the captain on the city wall, 『I found out that there were hussars and horses in Hangu, and it was these people...』

  The captain pointed to the Mang Mountain area in the north of Luoyang, "These people should have been hiding in the Mang Mountain, but they were found out by the Hussars, and then they came to Luoyang City..."

  『Can’t let them in! ’ Yang Xiu repeated, ‘We can’t join them! 』

"yes…"

  The captain replied, and then both of them fell silent.

The fleeing people came towards the bottom of the city, and when they were almost there, they found that the city gate was closed, so they waved their arms and shouted something, and were soon blocked by hussars at the bottom of the city. battle.

   Those who were blocked were quickly cut down by the hussars, and then put the corpses on the horses, and then left with a whistle.

  Yang Xiu stared at the blood splattered under the city, and remained silent.

   Hussars under the command, it turned out to be like this...

  Before Yang Xiu could express any specific emotion, the captain on the side with sharp eyes suddenly pointed to something floating in the moat below the city and said, "My lord! look! that! Over there in the moat, there seems to be something...』

  …∩·ω·)-*…

  Do one thing, don't rush to imagine what will happen if you succeed, but first think about whether you can bear the consequences of failure.

  If officials can divert their attention from the money in front of them, they may not be imprisoned because of corruption.

  If all the generals can consider the gains and losses before sending troops, there will be no embarrassment like Lu Bu's now...

  『The one who wins the temple before a battle must be considered more; the one who is invincible without a battle must be considered less. More calculation wins less calculation, let alone no calculation...」

  This sentence has been widely circulated since the birth of Sun Wu Hengkong. Almost no matter whether they are civilians or military generals who really understand military affairs, they will say a few words of this truth, but how many people can really do it?

  At least Lu Bu has not done it now.

  Qiu Cicheng is actually a good place.

  Qiuci City has a relatively large grassland on the east, west and south sides. Now when the vegetation is sprouting, if it weren't for the presence of the current army, it must be a lush and vigorous scene with flocks of cattle and sheep.

  In the north of the city, there are mountains with snow caps that do not melt all year round. Starting from the middle of the mountain, the primeval forest, which may have been untouched for thousands of years, is now full of greenery. All kinds of green coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests, weeds and vegetation are connected to each other and gradually merged with the grassland. .

  The melting ice on the mountain drips and flows, converging into countless small ditches and rivers on the grassland, and finally flowing into the Qiuci River, nourishing this piece of land. On the blue sky, the sun sprinkled its brilliant brilliance on this land, making the dewdrops on the vegetation and the waves on the Qiuci River shine with bright colors, as if countless gems were dropped by nature, embellishing the landscape. This beautiful prairie...

  However, what is incompatible with the beautiful environment is the army here.

  The Kucha people who have been grazing in this land for generations are experiencing panic and fear that they have never seen in the past perhaps a hundred years. Under the urging of Lu Bu's soldiers, they packed up their rugs in a panic, dragged their carts, and brought all their wealth and belongings with them. , embarked on the road to the East.

  Bai Su is dead, so as Bai Su's capital, Qiuci City seems to have no meaning of existence. Everything in Qiuci City, from money and treasures to people, cattle and sheep, has become spoils of war...

The monks were killed, the Buddha statues were toppled, and the cattle and sheep raised by the Qiuci people in Qiuci City became the Chinese food in the stomachs of the Lu Bu Army and the Baishan Army. belly.

  Qiu Cicheng could at least be regarded as a chicken that kept laying eggs before, but now he was directly slaughtered.

   One meal is of course very happy, but what about the next meal?

  Lu Bu originally thought that he didn't need to think about this, but now he had to think about it. When he realized that the logistics could not keep up, Lu Bu beat and scolded Wei Xu, but beating and scolding could not solve the problem, nor could it produce food and grass.

  War horses can indeed eat newly grown grass to satisfy their hunger, but long-term eating of green materials will cause the war horses to lose weight.

   Besides, is there anyone else?

   Can't people also eat green grass?

   At this time, the grain and grass sent by Zhang Liao arrived...
