Wang Bao and others who originally wanted to stalk the cicadas became prey under the mouth of the oriole.
Under Wei Yan's leadership, Wang Bao and others' resistance was like a monkey trying to be the king in the mountains. Without Sun Wukong, there was naturally no golden cudgel, and no gods fell from the sky. They were beaten to cry and call their parents, and there was no place to escape.
Except for a small number of people who were killed and injured on the spot, most of the others were captured, with only a few. I don’t know if they could not withstand Wei Yan’s humiliation, or if they wanted to escape, they forgot that there was a cliff on one side, so they jumped down from the cliff. Even when Wei Yan saw it, he had to say a pants... Well, he was wrong, and he spat and said forgot.
The captives secretly escorted to Lantian.
It is said to be secret, but it is just a declaration to the public that it is to capture escaped prisoners. Because there were some previous defeated tribes and slaves from the Western Regions under the Qinling Mountains, the civilians near Lantian naturally would not know the difference, and would not care too much.
And from a certain perspective, this is not a deception, because most of these captured prisoners will be transferred to heavy mines to mine various ores for the development of the cavalry industry.
Most of the time, they have another chance to prove that they have some other value opportunities in addition to acting as miners...
Fan Cong and Li Kui arrived in Lantian with the "company" of Wen Si.
The change in mentality may be in a moment. Before, Li Kui thought that he was a loyal person who was well-versed in the righteousness of the country and the country, and he would definitely be able to give up his life for the country and the people without any ambiguity. However, when he suddenly asked whether it was worth it, his faith had collapsed. True belief was never a pledge, or a piece of indulgence or money in sesame and oil could be exchanged for peace.
Once there is a comparison of value, the overall collapse will only be sooner or later.
Li Kui also had some minor injuries on his face, but he had already shown the quality of "strong". He would not leave the front line if he was slightly injured. He would accompany Fan Cong to persuade these captured prisoners to surrender, and try to obtain more effective clues from these prisoners, and cooperate with Wei Yan to sweep the entire Zhongnan Mountain area faster, better, and even stronger.
In a sense, Fan Cong and Li Kui are new employees who have changed jobs. After changing from an original hostile relationship to a subordinate relationship, they not only need to be honest in language but not lie, but also reflect in behavior. Just lie before and hide it, but then they must be honest and trustworthy.
When facing the "enemy", deceiving is a virtue, but after becoming "one's own person", if you deceive again, it will become a crime. It is indeed very pleasant to read pirated versions when you are a reader, but after becoming an author, you hate pirated versions to the core. There is nothing else. The pain on others and the pain on yourself are completely different concepts.
So do you have to wait until the pain reaches your body before you know that something is wrong and that you know that it is painful?
Many things are like this.
Just like in recent years, the East-West trade has opened not only windows, but also doors. What flies and mosquitoes come to Guanzhong are not only small money, but also flies and mosquitoes. Even if there are screens, small biting black bugs can still get in...
Fei Qian can let someone walk some secret mountain roads from Shandong and send some family members to the Sanfu in Chang'an, just as people in Shandong can also secretly come to the Sanfu in Chang'an through some channels that others don't know about.
Therefore, Fan Cong and Li Kui's tasks are two points.
One thing is people, one thing is the road, including the means of contact between them, the location of the connection, and those who provide supplementary supplies to these people along the way...
These people must be hidden and not easily discovered. Because most of these people do not need to make any extra moves, they only need to regularly add food utensils in hidden mountains and forests. Only when buying in large quantities will it attract Youwensi's attention. Otherwise, there will be no one paying attention to the small share of purchases in daily life.
As long as you find several lines like this, you can disrupt or even cut off the infiltration pipelines in Shandong.
This measure can only be of maximum effectiveness if it is done during this gap before the war begins.
Of course, it is also possible to do it normally, but it is like a spear and a shield. When the spear is sharp, the strength of the shield will naturally improve. After major setbacks and blows, Shandong spies have evolved into the mode of wearing gloves. If Li Kui was more careful at the time and did not hook, he would probably be free now. Therefore, it is the same to cut off the route of these outlaws. Perhaps it cannot be as straightforward as it is now, but it requires more people and longer time.
But unexpectedly, Le Yin, who seemed brave and vicious, bowed his head and surrendered after being captured with injuries and almost no effort, and then expressed his willingness to serve as a vanguard official to lure the rest of the remaining remnants of Zhongnan Mountain for Wei Yan. On the contrary, Wang Bao was determined and insisted on not surrendering. Even Fan Cong and Li Kui used themselves as an example to show that they could take Wang Bao's family to Chang'an and refused to surrender.
This news surprised Du Ji and was somewhat unexpected. On the one hand, he sent someone else to detain Le Yin and other people who were willing to surrender. After a brief rest, he sent it to Wei Yan's men as bait. On the other hand, he came to see Wang Bao in person.
"Donglai Wang Family?" When Du Ji saw Wang Bao's first question, it was like a greeting. If the location was changed to other places, such as restaurants or road left, it would be more suitable than the current prison.
Wang Bao sat upright and nodded, "That's right."
"Yan Qi in the past, Donglai in today," Du Ji said in a deep voice, "Why is Brother Wang like this?"
Du Ji's eyes were sharp, staring at Wang Bao's expression.
Wang Bao lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at the ground, and as if he was looking at the bowl of meals on the ground.
Du Ji also glanced at the rice bowl placed in the prison cell, which was already covered with ants and insects.
It is obvious that this bowl of rice has not been moved after being delivered.
Understood……
Wang Bao is on a hunger strike.
This is almost the most painful thing and goes against human desires.
Unlike anorexia, the disease is that the body already thinks that it is normal for not eating, and will vomit after eating. Wang Bao’s hunger strike is forcibly suppressing his desires, and the meal is placed aside.
"Why do you do this?" Du Ji's tone was a little relaxed. After all, he was somewhat respectful to those who dared to face his life and death.
Wang Bao raised his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The past hardships have been hard, but today I have no intention of trying it."
Wang Bao understood Du Ji's meaning, but he also responded with a pun.
The two looked at each other for a while.
The eyes of those who are determined to die are different from those who just want to threaten with death.
Du Ji nodded slightly, then bowed to Wang Bao and gave a bow.
Wang Bao sat upright and did not avoid it. He just raised his hand and bowed.
Du Ji turned around and came out.
Wang Bao lowered his eyelids.
The prisoner followed Du Ji, bent over and laughed, "Ling Zun, this matter..."
Although it is normal to die in a cell. After all, hiding and seeking can be killed, let alone the feudal dynasty, these people, firstly, were arrested by Wei Yan, who knew if they had any other uses, and secondly, those who beg for crying and praying for mercy in prison were basically looked down upon. On the contrary, people like Wang Bao were easily respected.
Du Ji walked out of the prison, looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "During three days, food will still be delivered on time... If you still don't eat after three days, you will most likely be unconscious... Just give him some fun!"
When the prisoner got the order, he immediately felt much more relaxed, nodded and bowed, and claimed the order.
Du Ji nodded, waved his hand, and regardless of bent down, he almost pressed his head against the prison head on the ground, turned around and walked back to the county government.
There are some people in every place and every country who look fragile, but actually strong, and some people look loyal, but actually lewd. The gap between these personalities is not so obvious, nor is it the same opposition as the Chuhe and Han realms. It is very likely that today is loyal to this person and tomorrow is to kowtow to that person. Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty was sore and weak, they collapsed before the battle. After turning into a green camp, they were cruel and ruthless, fighting to the death, and they were all the same person.
Du Ji pondered for a moment, waved his hand to call the follower, and ordered: "Go and invite someone from Wensi!"
The Wensi people came soon and greeted Du Ji.
Du Ji did not deliberately show any suggestions, and looked down at the writing, just pretending that he didn't hear it. Instead, he waved to let the Wensi people sit down, and then said: "One of the people sent by General Wei yesterday, some people were about to go on a hunger strike..."
You Wensi said oh first and didn't take it seriously, but after seeing Du Ji said this half of the sentence, there was no following text, and then he realized that these half sentences were for You Wensi! You Wensi could do it, so there was the second half of the sentence. If you can't do it, it would be gone even if the following text was gone!
"The county magistrate's meaning..." Wen Si's eyes moved slightly, "Is there something about Shandong around Lantian? But... Isn't you seen anyone telling me about it?"
There are guard checkpoints on the main traffic routes.
Du Ji nodded and said, "Sometimes, there is no need to send any news, just a testimony."
"Don't send a message? Just a testimony?" A Wen Si frowned, "If you just testify...this around..."
Surrounding Lantian is the base camp and transit station that originally accepted all kinds of refugees. The complexity of the population can be seen. In the Han Dynasty, where there was no systematic archives or image images, it was undoubtedly a very cumbersome and extremely difficult thing to screen out specific characters.
Du Ji nodded again, "All these are known..."
Wen Si was immediately embarrassed. He understood what Du Ji meant. If everything Wen Si said was already known by Du Ji, then what is the value of Wen Si?
"If there is no..." Someone from Wen Si still wants to make a comeback.
Du Ji smiled and said, "Whether there is or not, I will report it according to the facts."
You Wensi had to lower his head in the end and "I will receive the order."
Only by showing value can one have value, whether it is life or death.
Of course, the key point is that leaders must have the ability, real ability, not the ability to make money. Otherwise, just one sentence, not knowing, not knowing, is not only slapping on one's face, but also slapping on the political group behind him. Like Du Ji, who is in a state of integrity, even if there are people from Wensi, others are frightened by others, and they can only be obedient in front of Du Ji.
Wang Bao has Wang Bao’s own persistence.
Wang Bao's persistence may be just like what he said. "The hardships in the past" have made him lose hope for relocation, and only want to leave something for the people in his hometown. With the betrayal of the surrender of Le Yin and others, his persistence is more valuable, and this hope and value are undoubtedly unbearable by himself...
Du Ji also has Du Ji's own persistence.
He looked at the invitation at a corner of the table.
The invitation specially delivered by the Wei official was to indicate Wei Duan’s birthday and invite Du Ji to have a drink.
The relationship between Du Ji and Wei Duan, from the beginning to the gradually drifting away later, to the polite alienation now, is not a matter of one or two, nor is it an impact of one or two things. It is only after seeing Wei Duan, especially the behavior of his son Wei Kang, and the contradictions and conflicts with the overall environment, Du Ji made such a decision.
Under the influence of Fei Qian, the entire Han Dynasty's gentry system began to change. Not only the group of people led by Pang Tong, but also in Shandong and Guanzhong, people felt the change in the direction of the river of history.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Some people are not used to changes, while others are eager for changes.
The words "Yan Qi" that Du Ji said to Wang Bao were actually to some extent a manifestation of his own thoughts.
During the Warring States Period dispute, Prince Dan of Yan made his final efforts, and Qi State once ascended the throne of dominance, but with the flow of history, they all failed. These princes of Yan and Qi State finally fell into Donglai and became an origin of the Donglai Wang family.
Let’s not talk about Qi State. Even the marginal state of Yan State made certain contributions when fighting against the nomadic peoples in the north. However, no matter the glory of Qi State or the heroes of Yan State for a while, they could not resist the turbulent trend...
Now, Du Ji feels that the general trend is in the west, not in the east.
In the art of war, the four words condescending are not simply the mercy of arrays, but also the geographical advantage. In terms of geographical location, the Guanzhong region has innate terrain suppression of the Heluo area and the extended Shandong area. This is like the suppression of the northern region over the southern region in the feudal dynasty.
This kind of suppression is multifaceted, and there are two important points: one is food and grass, and the other is climate.
The northwest is bitter and cold, and the southeast is warm. This innate unfairness has created different personalities and relatively different eating habits in the two regions. More importantly, when people from the bitter and cold land arrive in the south of the fish and rice land, they don’t have to think too much about what to eat in terms of food. This is particularly obvious when nomadic people invade the south. When the grass and trees in the north are yellow and even the roots are digging out and gnawing, fresh weeds can grow freely everywhere in the south. For the troops in the feudal era that are mainly about accumulating energy, it is simply a natural boon.
And there were no cotton coats in ancient times.
Even if there are cotton coats, how many princes can provide complete equipment? People who are used to the warm climate of the south will lose more than half of their combat effectiveness when they arrive in the north, let alone war, and when fighting from the north to the south, they can only fight with their shirtlessness.
The reason why most of them is that history always likes to make small tricks occasionally.
No one can pin his hopes on "occasionally", just like placing his dream of getting rich on the lottery. Except for the director of the Lottery Center, everyone probably thinks this person is a fool.
Do Du Ji thinks he can pin his hopes on "once"?
He hopes that through hard work, the foundation will be more stable and solid.
So how loyal is Du Ji to Fei Qian?
Nor is it the same.
Du Ji is still a person who is loyal to himself and to his family. If Fei Qian now wants Du Ji to die without reason or sacrifice worthlessly, Du Ji will immediately resist without any hesitation.
But when the general direction is consistent, especially when Du Ji thinks that Feiqian's side is the direction of the world's general trend, Du Ji will do everything he has in his hands and do his best to Feiqian's political group. Of course, if Cao Cao can really fight to Guanzhong one day and control the three auxiliary forces, Du Ji will not be buried alive for the demise of Feiqian's power, but will devote himself to the new job very happily. At most, when mentioning the old master, his attitude is still humble and respectful, and that's all.
Simply put, Du Ji is a thorough pragmatist, and everything starts from the most fundamental problem. Therefore, Du Ji is increasingly disgusted with Wei Duan's attempt to draw a big cake for him. Of course, what is more important is that when Du Ji knew what kind of virtue Wei Kang, the next heir of Wei, had been repeatedly lowered in his evaluation of Wei.
The current Western friendship was cultivated before, and the friendship of the next generation...
Haha, what kind of heirs is heralding what kind of ending will be.
Du Ji didn't want to be dragged down by Wei.
Originally, Du Ji tried to hide in Lantian and avoid Wei Shi as much as possible. He didn't want to have too much interaction with Wei Shi, but he still couldn't avoid it. Wei Shi's post was delivered to the door, almost forcing Du Ji to make a choice.
"It's time...
Du Ji sighed slightly.
When Wei Wei Kang had something wrong, Wei Duan sent someone to find Du Ji, but Du Ji was evasive and went back.
This is normal.
There was chaos in the city, fire dragons burned the warehouse, generals and ministers were at a loss, and the young master was at a loss. It seemed that everything was a major flaw and a hidden danger in Chang'an. In this situation, it seemed that an opportunity came...
Therefore, it is reasonable for Wei to make some additional arrangements for future plans.
And I believe Wei would not make any special moves, saying that it was a birthday drink, it would be just a drink, and there would definitely be no more troubles. But sometimes, eating and drinking is an attitude.
But Du Ji felt that there was no need to give this attitude.
If Wei Kang, the next heir of Wei's family, could have some skills, maybe Du Ji would still be planning to leave some good relationships, but now he has confirmed that Wei Kang's level is general...
Du Ji smiled, raised his hand and called his confidant housekeeper, gave him the invitation on the table, "Write a reply, and said that I was in trouble in Lantian and could not get out of here, so I prepared a little gift to express my apology... The gifts are selected according to the normal four colors..."
The butler was slightly stunned, "Master, will I write a reply?"
Du Ji exhaled, "Yes, you write it. It would be fine if Wei didn't send posts in the future, but if you send it... you wrote it... But if... I'm afraid there would be no chance to write it... Just go...
The housekeeper was unclear, but he could also understand that Du Ji wanted to draw a clear line with Wei.
After all, Du Ji’s personal reply and the butler’s reply are two completely different concepts.
The truth is different and we don’t plan for each other.
After all, it was time to part ways...
