Chapter 3222 You know, I know, he knows
Cao's army rushed to the east and north of the river, and the news that came was spread all over the place to Anyi.
The native gentry and natives in counties, townships, manors and forts around Anyi naturally reported urgently to Anyi, but there were also many who were obviously closer to Anyi, but they wanted to send an urgent report to Pingyang...
Unfortunately, no reply was sent to Anyi or Pingyang, nor did they send them back, and there was no solution that could immediately make these gentry and natives relieved.
Who would have thought that Cao's army, which had been defeated several times, would have the power to create such a great momentum!
Hedong is in trouble this time!
All martial law inside and outside Anyi was strictly enforced, and four doors were closed.
The school camps near Anyi are all double checkpoints and are on duty day and night.
Some time ago, refugees who fled in Puban County had just settled down. As a result, they are getting better now, and there are new people who are fleeing.
And more and more!
In the city of Anyi, a city gate was opened to identify and accept these refugees, and it was closed immediately once it was night. This inevitably led to more and more refugees gathering outside the city.
Some refugees continued to flee north, while others felt that the walls of Anyi City were strong and there were many soldiers. In addition, they were closer to their homes. After the military disaster was over, it was convenient for them to go back and re-plant, so they gritted their teeth and dug a nest near Anyi, so they also had to stay here.
Even at such a moment, these refugees still cannot forget their own fields and their own dilapidated houses.
They always hope that this pain will be the last time, and then after the pain, there will always be light...
Inside and outside the city of Anyi City, there are strong warnings, and every battlement on the wall is on duty.
The civilians who were traveling through the city walls kept bringing defensive equipment to the top of the city.
The large number of refugees gathered outside the city gate were waiting to enter the city, making wailing sounds one after another.
There was chaos everywhere.
A few days ago, when the envoy Cao Cao passed by Anyi, the news spread was already very bad when people heard it...
Unexpectedly, it really became a fact.
The cavalry and the prime minister had no intention of making peace at all, and they had to continue fighting!
Logically speaking, the envoys can’t fight anymore. Let’s talk about it. When asking for a lot of money, you can always talk about a reasonable price range. Then both sides stop their troops and find their mothers. But amid the rumors, the prime minister wanted to reconcile, but the cavalry refused!
this……
All of this was beaten to the doorstep. Are you still unwilling to negotiate?
How could the cavalry keep calm? Just Prime Minister Ren came over?
Could it be...
The Han Dynasty has been in chaos for so many years, and I also know that the so-called emperor's edict is just like that. Cao Cao's so-called emperor's edict is often based on the swords and guns in his hands.
Although the Hedong surnames knew that Cao Cao had many soldiers and consumed a lot of food and grass, he would definitely not be able to support him after a long time, if the Cao army really broke down and started to attack the Hedong surnames, the only one who was unlucky would be himself!
In the past few days, the gentry and natives in Anyi have opened their eyes almost every day, and the first thing they do is to ask if the cavalry had sent troops?
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as looking forward to it. If there were any rumors about the husband's stone in this era, there would be a few more stones of large size on the top of the city of Anyi.
But when I waited around, I just didn’t see the army of cavalry!
So these gentry and natives were inevitably muttering in their hearts, could they say that the cavalry really gave up Yuncheng and really didn't care about the life or death of Anyi?
What is the cavalry doing?
Everyone seems to have different answers in their hearts, but no matter what the answer is, they all gather together one idea. Come quickly!
If Prime Minister Cao really took a ruthless move this time, Hedong is in ruins and they will be the one who is in trouble!
Before the Husbands came, these people gathered in front of the Anyi government office and asked Pei to take care of this and help that. Everyone wanted to be good for themselves. Anyway, let's not discuss anything else. Just keep your butt and don't be rotten.
"The head of the family, can the four thousand people in the city be used to some use?"
It was Pei Jun who spoke.
At this moment, Pei Jun's face was haggard, his eyes were black and red. He was obviously too worried and lacked sleep, and he was staring at Pei Mao.
Among the Pei clan, Pei Jun's personal concerns are obviously more than other Pei clan's children.
Nowadays, it is not so easy for the side branch to get up and eventually live in a separate room!
Not only do you need to have money, but you also need to have power, and you even have to gain some special reputation, either literary or martial arts in some aspects, so that you can have the opportunity to become an important house in the surname, and then you can add your own house to a certain house in front of your descendants...
Seeing that he had this opportunity, he was about to turn into ashes under the battle between Cao Cao and Fei Qian!
When Pei Jun was young, he was often discriminated against because he was a child of a branch.
This kind of discrimination may not be all "insults", but sometimes it is a "wealth".
For example, in later generations, the disabled person’s access must be presented before the access is made.
When Pei Jun received those "benefits", he had to hold up the sign representing his identity and display it...
It's like a dog's tag.
This unforgettable experience made Pei Jun attach great importance to all his assets at present.
In the past, Pei Jun was graceful and elegant, but at this time he couldn't care about anything and just stared at Pei Mao.
It's like a ghost about to starve to death.
Pei Mao pondered slightly, then faced Pei Jun's eager gaze, and slowly shook his head, "The soldiers and horses in the city must defend the city... There is no military reserve in the manor outside the city, and no solid walls, let alone... It is not easy to go out to fight in fields. If you fight in formation, you must have long-term training. The soldiers in the city are still worried about defending the city. How can you have the power to fight several times the enemy? Don't mention this matter again."
Pei Jun stood up suddenly, suppressed his anger, and shouted in a deep voice: "Master of the family! Don't think that you don't know that you are just protecting the master's family, but you are indifferent to our subordinates in the war! Someone has the surname Pei!"
"Bold!" The guard behind Pei Mao shouted angrily.
Pei Mao was not annoyed, but waved his hand to signal the guards to be calm, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Fengxian, I treat you like my own son and nephew, how can I treat you two differently? If there is only the Pei family in Anyi, then I will not say much. If a real man dies, he will die, and he will not be considered a name for Pei... However, now the soldiers in this city are not yours and me, but the need to protect the people and the people in Anyi is to protect the residences of the people. If they fight in chaos and fall into Cao's army, there will be no soldiers available in Anyi by then, which is really out of control!"
Pei Jun just sneered, then stopped talking and gave in and left casually.
Pei Mao lowered his eyes, his face neither sad nor happy.
The inner curtain was rolled up, Pei Ji walked out and bowed to him, "My father..."
Pei Mao coughed twice and signaled with his hands.
Pei Mao is already older, and he is somewhat lacking in energy, especially intrigue with his family. Not only is he helpless, but also a little sad. Although they have the same surname, they are all like this. Their butts are always their own, and the ones who are wrong will always be others.
Pei Ji whispered: "I thought Fengxian had much experience and knew the pros and cons, so he should understand the truth, but he didn't expect that his innocence is indeed a bit messy now... Why is this change in the past?
Pei Mao's voice was low, "Don't underestimate him... He is with...hehe..."
Pei Mao and his subordinates followed Pei Jun for a while and found that Pei Jun seemed to have some contact with Cao Cao.
『Ah?』 Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, 『Maybe, what do you mean by it? Could it be... this Fengxian...』
Pei Mao smiled, his tone was heavy and slow, "If Fengxian didn't move to Anyi, it would be fine... I'm afraid he would be greedy..."
Pei Ji couldn't help but be moved and said, "My father! This... Fengxian... dares to be so crazy! He, he, he is not afraid..."
『Of course he is also afraid. However, he is even more afraid of losing the authority of the wealth and goods in his hands... It is not easy to pick it up, but it is even more difficult to put it down..." Pei Mao whispered, "He thought his wealth and wealth were all fought hard by him... Since he could fight once, why can't he fight again? Now the Cavalry and the Prime Minister are always in a state of dying. Since he can't get the protection of the Cavalry, he is naturally looking for another way... Haha, I'm afraid... Haha...』
"The Prime Minister seems to be powerful, but he is strong on the outside but the middle. The cavalry is now retreating and declining, but he will definitely get..." Pei Ji frowned and said, "The cavalry is heavy with scattered attacks. If the prime minister enters, he will siege him. If he stays, he will die. How can he change because of the crossroads? How could Brother Fengxian not see clearly?"
Pei Mao waved his hand, "It's not that I can't, but I don't want it."
I made a mistake, I didn’t know if I was wrong?
Actually not.
Pei Mao raised his head and sighed, "If the profit comes from one cave, the country will be invincible. If the two caves come from two caves, the army will not be slapped. If the three caves come from three caves, the country will be destroyed. If the four caves come from the other caves, the country will be destroyed... Nowadays, whether it is the cavalry or the prime minister, they all want to have a cave in the country..."
Pei Ji swallowed, "My father...this, this...is to compete for the destiny..."
"Be careful of your words." Pei Mao shouted softly.
Pei Ji quickly lowered his head.
"At this moment, you should not ask for the cavalry." After a while, Pei Mao said in a deep voice, "What you ask for must be controlled by others! If the Pei family wants to pass on their families for thousands of years, they must survive this battle first!"
Pei Ji's heart suddenly jumped and he immediately responded with a solemn expression.
Pei Mao let out a breath and nodded. He was obviously exhausted and did not want to continue talking about this topic. He just ordered Pei Ji to be more vigilant and strictly prevent the four gates. He absolutely did not allow any unrest in Anyi City. Anyone who wanted to cause trouble must be sentenced to death immediately.
"If so..." Pei Ji asked in a low voice, his eyes flashing a little.
Pei Mao closed his eyes, "If he was really so stupid... there was a Fengxian in the past... but I don't know if there was another Fengxian today... The Fengxian before was still a little lucky, so what happened to him...
...
...
The Cao army came in large numbers, which was a disaster for ordinary people in Hedong.
For the Hedong surnames, it seems like a choice.
In the central city of Anyi, there is a bustling tall building.
This is Zuixian Township.
It's also a gentle place.
Warm yellow lights and tiny music are revealed in the carved wooden door.
A few red lanterns were hung in front of the door, swaying gently in the wind, casting mottled light and shadows.
The air was filled with a faint smell of powder and incense, stimulating the senses of passers-by.
Even as the Cao army is approaching, there are still 30 or 5 groups of women in Zuixian Township, dancing like butterflies. They are wearing gorgeous clothes, standing against the window, or shuttle back and forth. Their smiles are sweet and charming, and their eyes show a fascinating charm. Every move seems to show the prosperity and prosperity of Hedong.
In the middle of the hall, there is a beautifully decorated stage, and there are dancing girls dancing on the stage. Their dance postures are graceful and their clothes are fluttering, as if a fairy has descended to earth. Guests around are either tasting tea or drinking, chatting and laughing, and occasionally someone cheers loudly, adding a bit of excitement to the dancers' performance.
The sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, and the sound of scent is moving.
Around the stage, there are many people who look like children of the gentry, wearing Jinxian crowns, beautiful jade arches, gold-patterned fans, and silver fur clothes. They either point fingers at the dancers on the stage, or touch the beautiful girls around them, or talk loudly and laugh loudly to enjoy the joy.
This place seems to be a dream away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Just need to be happy, and only enjoy.
There were chaos outside the city, and there was only drunkenness here.
I am drunk today.
Self-ansthesia can forget all worries.
In a private private room in Zuixian Township, the curtains hang down, blocking the outside world's peeping. The private room is decorated warmly and elegantly, and the smoke rising from the incense burner adds a bit of hazy beauty to this private space.
However, there were no beautiful maids in the private room, only a few middle-aged people with a frown face. Everyone looked bad. Looking at Pei Jun, who was sitting on his head, his eyes half-closed and half-open, seemed to be trying to say something, and seemed to be waiting for others to say it first.
Who would have thought that the big thing between Fei and Prime Minister Cao would be?
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting against each other, but they didn’t destroy many cities!
How can this be done now?
Is there any law or rules?
Before, no matter how Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought to death, wasn’t it okay if anyone came and hung his flag?
At most, it would be fine if you could bear some beef wine, but how could you be so cruel and ruthless like this time?
Does this make people live?
Every day, either the farmers in this village are captured or the granaries of the manor are emptied. While everyone scolds Cao Cao for being unreasonable, they also scold Fei Qian for not saving him.
What they didn't expect was that even the Pei family, a native of Hedong, was still lying down and pretending to be ruined!
In the elegant room, the display is luxurious, the velvet carpet on the ground is like a green carpet, and the incense burning furnace is also gilded and silver. The green smoke that refreshes the mind and refreshes the mind is both comfortable and warm.
However, a few middle-aged people among them were as if they were sitting on pins and needles, winking each other.
Pei Jun just closed his eyes and said nothing.
At first, everyone thought that it would be no big problem to ask Pei Jun as the agent to talk to Pei Mao and protect the surrounding villages, but now the problem is obviously beyond their expectations...
Pei Jun didn't finish talking.
Could it be that just watching your own property go to waste?
After being quiet for a long time, everyone's eyes were desperately glancing at an elderly man in the head, with more or less praying meanings in his eyes.
The elder in the head froze for a while, finally sighed in his heart, and asked Pei Jun in a low voice: "The ancestors are nephews... Why are the Cao army invading all over the place and looting Hedong? This... We are all people of the Han Dynasty and the descendants of the scriptures. This... The cavalry and the prime minister are fighting each other, but the court has different opinions. Why should we implicate our innocent people? This... Today, Feng's ancestors have a good fortune. What regulations do you have? I hope it is clear that it will be better to make some plans early!"
As soon as the elder spoke, everyone agreed and suddenly there was a lively atmosphere in the quiet and lifeless private room.
Amid the noise of the crowd, Pei Jun finally opened his eyes and looked around, "The Cao army is powerful, that's a good thing... The momentum is not strong enough, how can it shake Pingyang and shake the cavalry?"
"ah?"
"this……"
"Well!"
As soon as Pei Jun said this, everyone was stunned.
Do you think Hedong is not tragic enough?
Why is there another way to be afraid of big things, but afraid of big things?
The elder suppressed his unhappiness and said with a reluctant smile: "The ancestors were joking... The Cao army is now ignorant and acted recklessly, probably because the land in Hedong was not owned by Cao's army, so they poisoned living beings and harmed the people... However, here in Hedong is under the command of the cavalry. In the future of the cavalry, shouldn't it be Pei's envoy, Mr. Pei, come to protect us? Is this true? "
When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another.
Some people couldn't help but express their opinions, saying that they had paid all their money, grain and taxes, and they should be protected as they deserved. Maybe it was like in Zuixian Township. Since I spent money, I had to be tributed like a master, so I had to make it happy. Now, not only is there no protection but I can't say anything, then I'm just spending money in vain?
Pei Jun listened to the ridicule of everyone, and did not speak immediately, but tapped the table gently until everyone stopped gradually, and then whispered: "Who has not paid the tax in the north of Guanzhong, Hedong, Sichuan and Shu? What's the proportion of your taxes?"
Pei Jun said what Pei Mao said before now.
It seems that everything is so "natural".
"Ah? It's outrageous!"
『How can I say that?
"How can I measure the amount of money for my loyalty to the Han Dynasty and the sincerity to the cavalry?"
Pei Jun grinned and showed a sarcastic smile.
He looked for Pei Mao and everyone looked for him, but it was actually the same, and he asked for it.
Since you are seeking others, then talking about money hurts feelings, talking about feelings hurts money, and if you want to enjoy God's treatment, you have to pay money like God. If you can be God with a five-baht coin, then isn't God too cheap? Do you still expect such a cheap God to have any good treatment?
If others don’t care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth, not to mention that Pei Jun himself has such a big family to protect?
When Pei Jun is like this, everyone can't help but look ugly.
Pei Jun looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
These days, being weak is a sin!
Pei Jun gritted his teeth, stared at everyone, and threw out a larger "bomb". "Everyone, Cao's army is coming, and no soldiers are coming to help! Anyi will lock the four doors soon, and all entry and exit are strictly prohibited! If you have no place to settle down, you will leave a room for you in the inn... As for you in the village outside... It's better to make arrangements early! After all this, I'm also powerless, sorry... I've said goodbye!"
After saying that, Pei Jun got up and left, regardless of everyone's resolution.
Everyone screamed for a while, and then they fell silent again. After a while, someone asked the elder in the head, "What does this mean?"
"What does it mean, that's it!"
"Hedong is in trouble, it's in trouble!"
Everyone was in an uproar again.
Chapter completed!
