"On there! The square face in the blue shirt, grab him!"
"There is one on the left, hiding behind the cart!"
"Run! That one ran away!"
The soldiers on the city gate saw more clearly and wanted to give guidance to Zhang Ji and Deng Li under the city, but...
It's a pity.
invalid.
There were a mess of shouts under the city covering the guidance on the city.
It is okay to use flags, but there are more than one spy mixed in the crowd, which one should I point to?
The nearest one?
Okay, the problem is here, and the spy will run away. When chasing this spy, another spy suddenly becomes the closest one. Should we change the direction of guidance?
What?
Let these people shut up quietly?
If this is the case, wouldn’t it be like some brick houses calling beasts, and it means that it’s time? Why don’t these people shut up, how can they be so yelled, why do they have such complaints? Is life so unsatisfactory? Why don’t you work hard when you have this time? Why don’t you drive a taxi, why don’t you rent out your houses and fields?
Because the spies of Cao's army caused chaos, instead of solving the spies of Cao's army first, they wanted to shut up the people first?
Isn’t this the same thing as choosing to issue a post between issuing money and issuing coupons?
In a certain way, these people shut up and calm down at the same time will indeed allow Zhang Ji and Deng Li to arrest these Cao army spies smoothly. The more chaotic the situation is, the more likely it is to hide these Cao army spies. But the problem is that as managers, they serve as officials, take the salary provided by the people, enjoy various convenient rights, and they also expect that in the chaos, they still need the people to cooperate. If they don’t cooperate, they will not do things. They are only willing to face simple situations and do not want to deal with complex situations?
Zhang Ji and Deng Li rushed out of the pass with their soldiers, and they were facing this situation.
As for whether to put your fingers together, draw a spell, shout "I represent the moon" and so on... In fact, Sailor Moon has a profound meaning, such as being afraid of one, and then when he holds the shining scepter in his hand, he transforms...
It is obvious that Zhang Ji and Deng Li came to arrest and kill the Cao army spies hidden among the people for these people, which is obviously beneficial to the people, but it is these people who are hindering Zhang Ji and Deng Li and others' course of action and are running around in a panic.
Although they are unconscious, they are indeed substantive and indirectly helping these Cao Jun spies hide and escape, just like a prank show in later generations. When they see a group of aggressive people rushing out, even if they understand in their hearts that they are innocent, they will subconsciously choose to run away first.
"Military Marquis!" Deng Li shouted, "This won't work! I'll take people around from the side! Encircle!"
When Zhang heard this, he nodded his head and agreed. At the same time, he ordered his spearmen to move forward, turn the spear head, and use the spear handle to hit the people who were headless and rush over, so that these people would squat down and not run around.
So the soldiers immediately divided two teams, some of which were captured by Zhang Ji and the soldiers among the crowd, while the other part was Deng Li and left the chaotic area, intending to go around to a more sparse place outside to intercept the spies of Cao's army mixed in the crowd.
Near the gate of the official road, there were people waving heads everywhere, and people kept crying unconsciously, shouting "Cao Army is here" and "killing people". The weak were knocked to the ground and no one had time to help them up. The young children and their parents got separated and cried in a daze. The spies of Cao Army appeared and disappeared in the crowd...
The beating and expulsion did not actually cause much harm to these chaotic people, but soon the spies of Cao's army saw that Zhang Ji took action, and immediately shouted, "The cavalry army kills people! The Huguan guards kill people!"
This is obviously not true.
Even if some unlucky guys were hit by the handle of the spear and bleeding, they were not trying to kill people, whether it was based on Zhang Ji's original intention or the actual damage caused. However, the chaotic people also lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. The slightly farther people could not see the facts, so they could only rely on their own imagination. In this imagination, these people would associate the cruel scene they had just seen with the present. Simply put, the chaotic people only believed what they imagined and what they were willing to believe.
Among these chaotic people, a large part are Shandong people and Shandong refugees.
And what was the same in Shandong, which was the Han Dynasty?
Those who are officials can really do whatever they want.
Why do these Shandong refugees become refugees?
In the Han Dynasty, freelancers will not be promoted. Anyone who leaves the registered residence will be treated as refugees.
Refugees have no human rights.
The destination for general refugees to escape must be the nearby big city. Because there are granaries, troops, and government officials in the big city, they can psychologically give these refugees a certain degree of false sense of security. After all, before, taxes were paid to the government every year, just like paying fees for something. Now something happens, the government should always take charge, right?
Logically speaking, that's the case.
Usually the government can provide certain relief grains, and in the big city, there are those kind and rich households with very good reputations on weekdays, so they may also come out to set up a porridge shed or something...
The court's policies actually mostly treat refugees more tolerantly.
Forced exile caused by disasters, such as various drought, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes, and bandit disasters, etc., relief will be organized and large households are encouraged to run porridge sheds. This is the case when disaster relief records are often seen in historical books. Sometimes labor-for-relief will be organized, and taxes will be exempted from some years of taxes in the affected areas. When the disaster is over, they will be distributed home. This is a relatively normal way to deal with refugees who originally had family and records.
But there is an old saying: There are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
If they are all so friendly to refugees, how can the landlord class annex the land?
Eat and drink for free, and finally distributed it home?
ha!
For local governments, why are there no refugees elsewhere but there are refugees here?
Do you still need political achievements? Are you guaranteed to protect your black hat?
So, what are refugees?
The Han Dynasty court had the upper policy to treat the people well and resettle refugees, and even issued a special policy of "fake public land" to resettle refugees. However, the local governments and powerful households took the opportunity to plunder the population and become shadow households below, or colluded to put the preferential policies given by the state to refugees into their own pockets, and transformed the public land for refugees into their own private land.
Just like the low-rent housing in the United States in later generations was not cheap at all, and economic housing was not economical at all. No matter what country's policy was, it could become a means to make money.
In this process, are the sufferings endured by these Shandong refugees really described as "a bitterness" or "tolerance"...
These sufferings have given these Shandong refugees too profound impressions that even when they arrived in Guanzhong and Shangdang, after a brief and peaceful life, they still cannot be forgotten. Under the chaotic and strong stimulation, the blood that finally hid in the heart began to churn again.
Under the instigation of the spies of Cao's army, some Shandong residents lost their minds and rushed towards Zhang Ji and others!
Some people picked up stones and soil from the ground and threw them at Zhang Ji and others!
In the minds of these people who are taking action, there are only two concepts: good, bad, or black and white. They even feel that they are doing an extremely righteous feat!
Are these people brainless?
Yes, but in a chaotic situation, many people will fall into an unconscious "moon" state even if they have brains, and are carried away by others to do things that they might never have done before. When the people appear in a "moon" state, the people in it cannot accept complex concepts in their minds. They can only accept either good or bad, with absolutely no intermediate transition, or other positions.
If these people are all evil villains, it is not so absolute. Just like when Xiang was in chaos in later generations, there were nearly 300,000 sentries in his gang. Could it be that Chengdu was arrested and beheaded?
Human nature has always been difficult to maintain good or bad.
At the beginning, Zhang Ji felt that these people were all inspired by the spies of Cao's army and that the crime was not on these people, so he was somewhat restrained. However, these people did not think that Zhang Ji was taking care of them, but instead became even more arrogant, not only to smash Zhang Ji and others, but also to rob their weapons.
Because these people found that Zhang Ji and others did not fight back...
It is always easier to deal with good people than to face evil people.
『Bang!』
A flying stone hit Zhang Ji's pocket, causing his head to buzz.
More stones flew over, hitting Zhang Ji's armor and on the surrounding soldiers.
Some people rushed up and pulled the soldiers, even trying to steal them from the spear and the pill...
"Don't hold back! Fight out!" Zhang Ji was anxious and pulled out his battle knife and shouted, "Those who block it will be killed without mercy!"
Blood flowed out.
Some people who attacked Zhang Ji and others were knocked down and cut down. The other people who surrounded him were then scared and began to avoid Zhang Ji and others.
"Catch the spies! Keep an eye on the spies!" Zhang Ji looked at the people nearby, "The spies are around!" He knew very well that there were no spies from Cao's army mixed with the people, and the people dared not take action, but as long as Cao's army spies were the leader, someone would take action later...
Zhang was angry at these ignorant people, but more importantly, he focused on the spies of Cao Jun who were mixed in it!
As the figure swayed, Zhang Ji even saw the sarcastic face of the Cao army spy closest to him, as if saying to him, "Look, what kind of fake good person are you pretending to be, aren't you going to kill the people?"
Zhang Ji shouted angrily, grabbed the bows and arrows of the soldiers beside him, and directly aimed at the figure of the spy Cao army he had discovered.
The spy Cao army was shaking left and right among the crowd, and was about to run thirty or forty steps away...
Zhang could not wait any longer, nor did he care about being injured by accident. He took a deep breath, slowly pulled the bow, glanced again, and then let go of the bowstring. The arrow flew away with a whistle. He was about to hit the spy Cao army, but unexpectedly, when he was about to hit the back, a farmer was knocked out of the side. The arrow failed to hit the spy Cao army, but instead shot the unlucky farmer's face against him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"grass!"
Zhang blurted out, but he didn't care about the life and death of the unlucky farmer. When he was about to search for the spy Cao Jun in the distance, he felt a sudden evil wind coming from behind him, and immediately flashed to the left!
A figure rushed over!
Zhang couldn't dodge and was knocked to the ground.
Before Zhang Ji could see who hit him clearly, he saw a short blade coming towards him. Zhang Ji subconsciously tilted his head, and the blade wiped his face and stabbed it on the ground with a thud. The visitor then threw himself on him, pressed his face with one hand, and then raised the knife again and slashed at him.
The incident happened suddenly, and even the soldiers around Zhang Ji didn't have time to react!
After Zhang issued orders continuously, he was targeted by the spies of Cao's army.
A spy from Cao Jun mixed in the crowd and found a gap, and started directly at Zhang Ji!
Fortunately, Zhang Ji had experienced the battle formation of life and death, and was not in a hurry. Instead, he took advantage of the man who was rushing to the left before he adjusted his posture. He pushed the man with his right elbow and used the inertia of the man above to hit the man on the left. He quickly turned to the right, and with his hands, he stood up. When the soldiers around him saw that Zhang had escaped from danger, they slashed at the man on the ground without saying a word.
The man had no time to get up, but just used a short blade to block it. He could not block many swords and guns. He was knocked away by a short blade in just a few strokes and then his head was cut off with one knife.
"Wait..." Zhang also wanted to keep a living mouth and arrest spies to inquire about the situation, but it was too late.
"Forget it! Don't beat it to death next one!" Zhang Ji shouted, "Break your hands and feet as much as possible! Leave more life! Live more than death!"
The soldiers around him answered in unison.
Since Zhang wiped the blood splashed on his face, he took the people to rush towards the other spies of Cao's army. Although he had orders to catch them alive, it was not so easy to control during the process. In the end, they just captured two people alive, and the rest were basically beaten to death.
Compared with Zhang Ji, who broke through the crowd head-on, Deng Li, who was bypassing from both sides, was smooth and got more. Not only did he not encounter any unlucky things like Zhang Ji, he also calmly shot and killed several spies Cao Jun who were trying to escape.
As the front and the surrounding soldiers merged, order was quickly restored.
Jia Qu, who was on the city gate, looked down and when he saw the panic and panic expressions of the people who were squatting down, his heart suddenly moved.
I see……
This is a technique of attacking the heart!
After thinking for a while, Jia Qu ordered Zhang Ji, Deng Li and others to take the people under the city wall.
These people thought they were going to be killed, and some people couldn't help but cry.
"What are you afraid of?!"
Jia Qu stood on the city wall and shouted loudly, "Only a few spies in Cao's army have scared you like this! Even their own people don't recognize you! Are the spies in Cao's army so scary? Come on! Tie these spies in Cao's army and let them all see! Are they three heads and six arms and have great magical powers!"
Zhang Ji, who was under the city, took the order loudly, then immediately erected some wooden stakes and tied all the dead and injured Cao Jun spies to the wooden stakes. "I saw it clearly! This is the Cao Jun spy! It is also a head, with two eyes and one mouth! If the head falls off, it will still be a dead person! There are only a few spies just now, but you are so scared that you run around like rabbits!"
Is it enough to keep one or two alive? Are there other spies from Cao Jun who were killed and injured...
"There are casualties in the family just now, so I'll give you a chance now!" Jia Qu stretched out his hand and pointed at the spies of Cao's army who were erected, "Give you a knife! If you want to take revenge, come and take revenge!"
"…"These people under the city were silent.
Jia Qu looked around and said, "Why, no one has the courage?"
A moment later, a sharp voice of a woman sounded in the crowd, crying, "I am the leader of the family dead! Can I take revenge?"
『Yes!』 Jia Qu said in a deep voice, 『Come on!』
The crowd heard the sound and gave up an alley.
A woman struggled to drag an arrow on her face, and the angry man walked out slowly. Beside her, a child was still following her, tearfully pulling the corner of the woman's clothes, following her step by step.
Zhang couldn't help but cough slightly and turned his face away.
Jia Qu glanced at Zhang Ji, then stood on the city and bowed to the woman, "Sorry! The loss of the ravine is not our original intention! This lady has something to ask for, so she can tell you what she wants!"
The woman replied with a gift and pushed the child forward. "The young woman has nothing to ask for, but I ask... but I ask this child to read and read, and pass on the incense of a dead husband..."
Jia Qu was silent a little and was about to speak, Deng Li, who was under the city, bowed and said, "I am a messenger, and my subordinates are familiar with literature. If this lady does not abandon her, I am willing to teach her to read and read!"
Jia Qu nodded, "Are you willing, this lady?"
The woman pushed the child in the direction of Deng Li, "Why don't you get a disciple now!"
The child was confused, but he also obediently walked forward a few steps and fell in front of Deng Li, "Boy..., beg, beg... to see Master..."
Deng Li stepped forward to help the child up and asked, "I don't know what your name is yet?"
"My name is Li Fan..." the child replied.
"Serious!" Deng Li nodded, and then said, "You will follow me in the future and read and read!"
The woman over there saw the child bowing to Deng Li, and walked to Zhang Ji and looked at Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows, "What, do you want to take revenge?"
The woman nodded and said, "That's right. Do you dare to borrow a knife?"
"Hmph! Why don't you dare?!" Zhang Ji shook his hand, pulled out the sword, then handed it down with one hand, but the other hand grabbed the edge of a shield with a low hand and said coldly, "Please use it!"
Although Zhang Ji shot his husband before, it was an unintentional mistake, but after all, he died at Zhang Ji's hands. So now Zhang Ji wants to be a little bit easier and finish the matter. It is not that he really let the woman kill him, but at most he just let her cut a shield or two.
One arrow and another knife, and there is nothing to say in the future.
However, what Zhang Ji did not expect was that the woman took the knife and her hands were still trembling, but she did not chop Zhang Ji. Instead, she turned around and staggered to the side and walked to a seriously injured spy, tied to the wooden stake.
The spy Cao Jun stared at the woman tightly, spitting blood bubbles in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something or laugh, but when he saw the woman screaming, closed her eyes, and picked up the sword and slashed it randomly!
"puff!"
『Hey!』
The dull sound of chopping meat sounded, and the spy Cao Jun drooped his head.
After a few stabs, the woman stopped and cried out in the end, howling to the sky, tears falling down.
Everyone couldn't bear it.
"Husband! Let's go slowly!"
The woman turned her blade while crying and stabbed her chest and abdomen...
『Mother!』
Seeing this, the child next to Deng Li shouted, then rushed forward, and fainted on the spot.
Chapter completed!
