Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 292 Mayi's Conspiracy

Those soldiers outside the city gate who failed to enter the city did not stand up and continue to lead after Zheng Cui and the general surnamed Yang died. Just when they were at a loss, Fei Qian hung Zheng Cui's body on the city wall. The soldiers were all dumbfounded, and after standing there for a while, they didn't know which one escaped first, and they scattered in a blink of an eye, leaving nothing but corpses on the ground and wreckage of various instruments.

At this moment, seeing that the outcome has been decided, Fei Qian finally let go of his tense nerves, and suddenly felt sore all over his body, as if every muscle in his body was in pain, so he couldn't hold on any longer, and supported the girl Wall sat down slowly.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the only source of light was the fire near the city gate. The soaring flames burned everything that could be burned, and the human body and food gave off an indescribable burnt smell after being burnt. , mixed with the strong smell of blood on the city wall, it was disgusting.

However, Fei Qian no longer felt so uncomfortable with the smell of blood like last time. In comparison, being able to survive is already a kind of happiness. No matter how bad the smell is, at least it is better than those people lying on the ground tens of thousands of times.

Fei Qian couldn't help turning his head to the side. Although only an area near the city gate was bright and most of the other places were shrouded in darkness, Fei Qian still seemed to be able to see the pair of eyes staring at him. eyeballs...

Fei Qian’s largest living creature in later life was only once to kill a chicken, and that time, because he couldn’t grasp it firmly, the chicken actually dropped from his hand during the killing. Thumping and bouncing around, splashing chicken blood everywhere.

  Since that time, Fei Qian has never killed any chickens or ducks. He asked the people in the vegetable market to kill them before taking them home. He never dared to kill big living things with his own hands.

  But I didn't expect that just now, I personally ended a person's life...

   Fei Qian spread out his hands, and under the light of the jumping fire, the blood scabs on his hands showed a strange dark brown color, just like the color of magma after it dries up.

   At some point, Zhang Liao walked over, sat down beside Fei Qian, stretched his legs straight, leaned against the female wall like that, and let out a long breath.

   "I heard from your personal guard that Ziyuan just killed a soldier?"

   "En." Fei Qian responded.

   After being silent for a while, Fei Qian asked, "Brother Wen Yuan, do you remember the first time you killed someone?"

"Of course I remember, why can't I remember? My home was originally in Mayi, Yanmen, but later because..." Having said this, Zhang Liao paused, lowered his voice, and continued, "Does Ziyuan know that 'Ma Yi' Yi Zhimou'?"

"Ma Yi's plot?" Fei Qian also imitated Zhang Liao, leaning his back on the female wall, straightened his legs, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Wen Yuan said it was more than three hundred years ago." matter?"

  Zhang Liao hummed, and said: "...I am a descendant of the Nie family..."

   "Nie's family?" Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Zhang Liao, and asked, "But Ma Yi's Nie's family?"

   "Yes, Ma Yi Nie." Zhang Liao repeated, and then paused for a while before continuing, "My ancestor Nie Weng..."

  It turns out that Zhang Liao's surname was not Zhang, but Nie. He was a descendant of Nie Yi, a super wealthy merchant in Mayi during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

  At that time, Shan Yu, the military official of the Xiongnu, demanded an alliance with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the government at that time split into two factions, namely the moderate faction who advocated continued peace and the radical faction who wanted to teach the Huns a lesson.

At that time, Zhang Liao's ancestor Nie Yi was in favor of taking action against the Xiongnu. He happened to be a guest at the home of Daxing Ling Wang Hui at that time, so he offered advice to him, saying that he could lure the military official Shanyu into the fortress in Mayi, carry out plunder, and then wipe out the Xiongnu. . Daxing made Wang Hui feel that it was a good strategy, so he advised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han finally agreed to the plan and dispatched General Li Guangxiao, the guard, General Sun He Qingche, the eunuch, and General Wang Hui, the general of Daxing. , General Li Xicai, the Taizhong doctor, and Han Anguo, the imperial historian, the five generals who guarded the army, laid a siege in Mayi, waiting for the Xiongnu army minister Shanyu to fall into the trap.

  But when the monarch and his ministers were marching, they found that there were only livestock and no one in the city, so they became suspicious. He sent troops to capture a blockhouse and captured a Wei Shi. The lieutenant Shi was tortured, but he told the truth that more than 300,000 Han troops had ambushed near Mayi. Shan Yu, who saw through the plot, retreated in shock, and the "Mayi plot" ended in failure.

  Afterwards, General Wang Hui was the leader and failed to make progress. He died in prison and took the blame. Other generals who fought together also lost their military power one after another. They were replaced by a new generation of generals who were more friendly to Confucianism...

  Ma Yinie's family was not spared from disasters because someone took the blame. Because he offended the Shanyu of the Xiongnu, but did not contribute much to the Han Dynasty. In addition, the Shanyu of the army at that time invaded many times to retaliate against the Han Dynasty. As a result, many people were very hostile to the Nie family, so the Nie family could not be established in Mayi. Continue to live, the whole family escaped disaster, fled to Jiuyuan, and changed the surname Nie to Zhang, and the family fortune also declined because of this incident...

Zhang Liao said: "...When I was fourteen years old, I was taken outside Yanmen by the elders of my family, and a barbarian was captured and killed with my own hands... I still remember the blood spattered when I cut down the barbarian with a knife. The heat on my body... that was the first person I killed, and I was crying when I finished killing, hehe... This is also a tradition that my family has adhered to for three hundred years. When every male reaches the age of fourteen , a ritual that must be performed, in order not to forget the family's..."

   Zhang Liao didn't finish speaking, and his tone seemed very flat, but Fei Qian could hear the sadness hidden deep in it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, Nie Yi could be a wealthy family in a stable manner. Of course, it is not ruled out that Nie Yi wanted to take a step forward. Not only have to bear the blame, but also be hostile by people who are also Han people...

  The reason why Zhang Liao told Fei Qian about this matter was that on the one hand, he felt that Fei Qian was a good person, and he had fought side by side, so he was asked by Huang Cheng to enlighten him; on the other hand, Zheng Chu’s last words before his death also stimulated him...

  Because Zheng Chu thinks he is right, so I, Zhang Liao, must obediently let you kill me?

  If I resist, I will help the evildoers, so I will die?

  My ancestor, Nie Weng, was involved in the dispute between the old and new generations of leading generals. He avoided disaster for more than three hundred years. I never thought that I, Zhang Liao, would also be involved in the dispute between Shandong and Shanxi...

well!

  Fei Qian felt Zhang Liao’s kindness. For a fourteen-year-old person, unless he is cruel by nature, killing someone for the first time is definitely not a very pleasant experience. Zhang Liao is willing to share it and use it to comfort himself...

   "Brother Wen Yuan, I haven't thanked you for teaching me marksmanship, um, thank you!"

   "You're welcome," Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Fei Qian, and said, "Haha, it seems that the medium-level spear I taught you seems to have been practiced all the time!"

This still surprised Zhang Liao. After all, it is not easy for a literati who has never been in contact with martial arts to persist in practicing. What's more, the simpler the truth is, the harder it is to persist. Zhang Liao himself has a deep understanding of this. .

Zhang Liao said: "It's a pity that my marksmanship is not suitable for Ziyuan. However, before I took up the job in Jiuyuan, I also traveled a lot in the Northland. I met a man in Zhending. His marksmanship is very good. It can be said that he will The softness of the marksmanship has been brought to the extreme, if Ziyuan is interested, he can find this person to learn the softness of the marksmanship..."

  Fei Qian silently wrote down that this troubled world is about to begin, and one more ability is one more hope of survival.

  The long night of blood and fire finally passed, and the long car crash piles under the west city gate burned all night, and gradually extinguished when morning was approaching.

   It's another new day, but I don't know if there will be any dirty shadows under this new sun...

   Around the time when Mayi’s plot happened, it was the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty vigorously supported Confucianism...

   At that time, many generals also withdrew from the stage at that time, Wang Hui, Han Anguo...

   Han Anguo was originally from Han Feizi...

   As for whether there are any other factors, there are no records in the history books...
