The sun has risen a little higher, and the golden sunlight and the bright red blood are simply a perfect match in color.
The war drums rumbled past like dull thunder, and the huge military formation under Jiaozhi City began to move to the sound of war drums. The shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and Liu Bei's soldiers rushed towards the head of Jiaozhi City like a tide.
The general attack begins.
Liu Bei stood in the formation, directing the actions of his soldiers.
Although arrows are still being fired at the top of the city, the number of arrows has been greatly reduced. Although there are still a few unlucky ones who were shot, facing the surging siege army like a tide, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
To no avail.
The creaking winch made a harsh sound behind the formation, and with a huge roar, huge rocks rose into the sky. Some of them flew into the city, some fell on the city wall, and some accurately hit the city.
When they reached the city gate tower and turrets, in the blink of an eye, broken human bodies and fragments of the city wall cracked into mud and stone were flying all over the sky.
The catapult is a big killer weapon that Liu Bei inherited from Fei Qian.
In the past few days, Liu Bei had his army craftsmen cutting down trees day and night to make heavy siege equipment. By last night, the first batch of eight trebuchets had just been completed, and they went directly to the battlefield today. Liu Bei had not
The trump card that he was willing to use before the pass was now facing Shi Xie's final lair, so there was no need to hide it.
There are still a lot of trees here in Jiaozhi, but it is a pity that there are still too few craftsmen, otherwise we should be able to make more instruments...
Under such a powerful stone attack, in less than a moment, the turrets and gate towers on the west side of Jiaozhi had all collapsed. The city was filled with dust and a mess, and screams of pain could be heard endlessly.
Liu Bei waved the order again, and the war drums changed. A group of soldiers began to move forward with a huge battering ram. If they could reach the city gate, such a heavy battering ram would probably tear the city gate apart in just a few hits!
In addition to the battering ram, several cloud vehicles were also launched.
The archers standing on the cloud chariot began to pour arrows wildly towards the top of the city, taking back double the losses suffered due to the height difference in the previous few days.
On the other hand, the Shixie garrison at the top of the city was very slow and did not even use any effective countermeasures.
Perhaps it was because the reinforcements of Shixie brother Shiwu were defeated a few days ago that the morale in the city was low?
Or is it because the previous siege has consumed the strategic materials in the city, making it unable to cope with the situation?
Or maybe something happened in the city?
No one knows, everything is possible, but now Guan Yu has not stopped thinking about these problems.
As soon as the trebuchet came to a stop, the wooden planks of the cloud cart were already leaning diagonally on the city wall, and the ramp built was more than 200 steps long. The soldiers who had been waiting around the cloud cart shouted and started walking along the trebuchet.
The ramp leads directly to the city.
Guan Yu passed over other soldiers, jumped onto the cloud chariot, drove quickly, almost without any pause, and rushed directly to the top of the city along the cloud chariot.
When Guan Yu actually stepped on the city wall, he could hardly believe that he had climbed onto the city wall so smoothly!
Looking around, all I could see was the smoke rising from the rammed earth city walls that had been smashed by stones. The ground was covered with rubble, timber and corpses strewn about. Many bloody hands and feet stretched out from under the beams of the collapsed gate tower.
come out……
All this seemed normal. Guan Yu had seen a lot of the brutal battlefield, but one thing that was unusual was that he didn't see many soldiers around him...
Is it possible that all of Shi Xie's soldiers have escaped?
As if in response to Guan Yu's question, some figures seemed to appear and sway in the rising smoke.
Guan Yu shouted and summoned his soldiers to line up and prepare to meet the enemy.
A figure emerged from the smoke, but Guan Yu was startled.
Then more figures appeared, slowly squirming forward...
In this world, there are not many people who can make Guan Yu feel troublesome and frown on the battlefield, but these figures in front of him made Guan Yu frown.
It wasn't because of the appearance of a group of brave warriors, not even Shi Xie's soldiers. What appeared in the smoke and dust were some ragged city residents with skinny faces and no decent weapons in their hands. Many of them were
What kind of dung fork and wooden stick are you holding...
Although the people in the city were a little cowed in their expressions and actions, when they approached Guan Yu and others, they still shouted and rushed forward waving dung forks and wooden sticks, and engaged Liu Bei's soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.
Without any suspense, the first batch of people in the city who rushed up were beheaded in front of the formation. One of them even threw a dung fork in his hand at Guan Yu. Guan Yu easily knocked him away. Then Guan Yu saw
This man was unarmed and didn't even bother to slash. He swung his sword across his body and knocked him aside, bumping into the other two people who rushed up behind him.
These people are ordinary people, almost like the Yellow Turban soldiers back then. They have no armor or weapons. These people have not even gone through the basic training of soldiers...
If it weren't for the different surrounding environment, Guan Yu would have almost thought that he had returned to the Zhongping period, to the battlefield of the Yellow Turban Rebellion...
"Repay the favor!"
"Drive away thieves!"
Another group of Jiaozhi people shouted, as if to encourage themselves, and then rushed forward.
It was really instigated by Shi Xie and others...
Guan Yu confirmed this again. Some strange feelings arose in his heart, and some pity flashed through his heart. However, this pity did not affect Guan Yu's actions. A man next to him stabbed him from the side, and Guan Yu easily avoided it.
With his sharp edge, he sent the long knife blade into the man's bony chest without hesitation.
Compassion for the weak does not mean that Guan Yu will be soft-hearted. Back then, Guan Yu could fight his way through the Yellow Turban thieves, but now he will not let the people in Jiaozhi City slaughter him!
The long sword whizzed past, and even Shi Xie's soldiers could not resist it, let alone these ordinary Jiaozhi people. Their weak bodies fell down one by one, but there were still some Jiaozhi people shouting, for Shi Xie, for Shi Xie, for
To repay the kindness of the Shi family, he risked his life to stop Guan Yu.
Is Shi Xie, or the whole family of Shi Xie, really worthy of you, the common people of Jiaozhi, working so hard?
Looking at the thin bodies and ragged clothes of these Jiaozhi people, is it possible that this is Shi Xie's kindness to you?
Guan Yu couldn't figure it out.
If these people have any connection with Shi Xie, or even have been well supported by Shi Xie, then there is no problem in risking their lives to repay their kindness, just like the retainers during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, isn't it the same? But
These people in front of me are obviously ordinary people who may have problems eating every day, but they actually come to repay Shi Xie's favor?!
What kind of favor should I repay?
Thank Shi Xie for not squeezing out the last bit of blood pressure from his bones?
Or is it that Shi Xie also rewarded him with some food to survive?
Fortunately, such a weird farce quickly subsided.
As Zhang Fei on the other side broke through the city gate, the city sergeant Xie took the remaining soldiers and ran away under Liu Bei's intentional encirclement of the three towers. Only then did the Jiaozhi people give up resistance in confusion and despair...
Didn't he say that we would "live and die with the city" together?
Didn't he say that we would "go to hell together" together?
Aren't we all "father, son, brother and sister" in all our lives?
Why did you, Shi Xie, run away when we tried our best?
Why?
Why……
……(￣▽￣)“……
There is a kind of morbid psychology, that is, the victim who has been violated will actually say good things to the perpetrator, and even rely on the perpetrator...
What is the name of this psychology?
Fei Qian couldn't remember it. The foreigners' names were all confusing, the transliteration was too long, and the free translation was too weird, so Fei Qian couldn't be blamed for this.
Putting aside the issue of names, Fei Qian did not expect that he would meet such a group of people with similar mentality soon after arriving in Hedong.
A group of kind, ignorant, and even somewhat pitiful and pathetic people.
A sheep, or should I say a group of sheep, is grieving for the wolf and defending the wolf. Can you believe this?
But right before our eyes, it really happened!
Fei Qian sat and listened with a smile on his face, while Xiao Feizhen stood aside. In front of him was a group of sheep, well, a group of farmers who were begging for mercy for a wealthy family...
"Mr. Zhao..." an old farmer spoke.
"There's no Master Zhao, it's Zhao Si!" Huang Xu shouted loudly at the side, which made the farmers cower in fear.
Fei Qian waved his hand to Huang Xu, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a name, it doesn't matter, just say it..."
"Yes, yes, this...this Mr. Zhao...four, Mr. Zhao is a good man...general, Mr. Zhao is a good man..." The old farmer reorganized his words and pleaded to Fei Qian, "General
But you can’t wrongly accuse a good person..."
Fei Qian still smiled and nodded, "That's right, of course you can't accuse a good person unjustly... Tell me, why is Zhao Laosi a good person? What's so good about it?"
"That what, Zhang, Zhang Zhongshi..." The old farmer couldn't remember clearly. He thought about it with some hesitation, but still couldn't figure it out, "That Zhang Zhongshi is so bad, he wrongly accused Mr. Zhao... Mr. Zhao..."
...Zhao Laosi is not a bad guy, he is a good guy, Zhao Zhongshi is the bad guy..."
Zhang Shi, his position was engaged, and he also had another position, that of servant. How about now, he mixed the two positions together. But Fei Qian could understand, so he nodded and motioned for the old farmer to continue.
"Zhao Laosi is a good guy...Zhang Zhongshi is a bad guy..."
There are only two kinds of people in the world, good people and bad people. Opposite a good person are bad people. Those who are persecuted by bad people are good people. This is the simple logic of the sheep.
The old farmer's language was very confusing and his thinking was not clear. He talked a lot, but the point was pretty much this...
Fei Qian didn't know whether he should lament the simplicity and kindness of the hardworking people in China, or should lament something else, because listening to the old farmer's words reminded Fei Qian of his experience in later generations, when he was still a working class.
Then I bought a bicycle for transportation. As a social worker, taking the subway to catch the bus and sharing bicycles are sometimes inconvenient. It is better to secure your own vehicle.
As a result, the vehicle started to have some problems after just a few days of riding. It made some abnormal noises while riding. Fei Qian thought it was a screw that was loose. As a result, he worked on it for a long time and didn’t know what the problem was that caused the abnormal noises, so he could only
This is feedback from the merchant...
What? Looking for a car repair shop?
These days, there aren’t many repair shops for electric vehicles, let alone bicycle repair shops.
Fei Qian originally thought that if he could find out what the problem was, he would be able to solve it himself. He didn't necessarily have to go to a car repair shop. Although it was impossible to dismantle the whole thing, he could still try to adjust some parts.
Just a try.
But when Feiqian reported it to the merchant, the merchant's customer service said without saying a word that this is normal. Our cars are all like this. How can we call a bicycle if it doesn't make noise? Cars have abnormal noises, so it doesn't affect normal use.
.
Is this the case? So, in fact, this problem of abnormal noise has existed for a long time?
So why not improve?
Fei Qian said that if there is any abnormal noise, it will affect the use. The merchant said that the two Gulu can be rotated, but it will not affect the use.
Okay, we can't reach an agreement.
Because it is a large item and I have been riding it for a few days, and the merchant said that all their cars are like this. The problem of abnormal noise is common to all cars. If Fei Qian really wants to return it, he can do it, but the wear and tear fee will be deducted.
, the transportation fee will be deducted, because this is not a quality problem of the merchant, but a personal problem that Fei Qian himself cannot accept, especially if it cannot affect secondary sales.
There is a strange noise in your car, but you still want to sell it for a second time?
Sell this car to the next one?
Fei Qian couldn't help it, so he posted the problem of the vehicle and the attitude of the merchant online...
The results are gratifying.
A group of people came up to watch and all said in unison that Fei Qian was a paratrooper.
Among these comments, almost no one blames the merchants or explores the root of the problem. Instead, they all ridicule and blame Fei Qian. Of course, there must be some people who may be on Fei Qian's side, but most of these people do not
The people who made the comments happened to be another group of people who claimed to be chivalrous...
Some experienced people said that bicycles all make abnormal noises, and then said that Fei Qian is a victim and has too much mentality. The merchant said that he can return it and exchange it, which is already a good attitude. Why should a weak person like Fei Qian ride a bicycle?
Isn’t it nice to squeeze into the bus?
A keyboard lady smiled and said she felt sorry for the merchant's customer service. She said that the merchant's customer service lady was so pitiful, and she didn't eat Fei Qian's rice. It was really unlucky to have such an aggressive and inquisitive person like Fei Qian at the stall.
Some people said that this was the first time in ten years...the first time he had reviewed it, just to comment on Fei Qian, a paratrooper, and said that Fei Qian was disgraceful and not a human being.
Some people say they want to return it if they can’t bear the noise. They haven’t bought anything, right? Isn’t it just a bicycle? It’s as if they bought a luxury car and they refuse to give up. Don’t they have seven days to return it without any reason? Why?
Do you want to be sent out as a paratrooper for everyone to see?
The peacemaker also said that most of the cars of this merchant are like this, and it will be over after a while. It is a problem of the mold, the tolerance, and the design. This cannot be changed. Fei Qian does not understand at all.
, it’s useless to change it, you can still ride it anyway...
Of course, there are also those noble people who want good bicycles, why don’t you buy so-and-so and Chachacha? If you are poor, don’t pursue too much. They say that Fei Qian is just a scoundrel who wants cheap and good products.
, is it possible that for the price of a 50-cent minivan, the interior is so labor-intensive?
There are also concise and concise words, and the word "paratrooper" is not explained.
The most interesting thing is the one who teases you with free shipping for 50 yuan to relieve your worries...
Yes, these people are all smart, only Fei Qian is a paratrooper.
But what is the cause of the whole thing? It's just an abnormal sound. Maybe you just need to find the right place, add one or two gaskets, or replace the component that makes the sound.
Solve things?
Or solve people?
Fei Qian smiled and felt very helpless. The thoughts of these people were like when a certain incident was fermented in later generations. Some people also commented, "Do you feel honored to bring this kind of thing to the company and the Internet?"
Say to the victim:
No one wants to harm you, you think too much...
Just be patient and it will pass...
The same goes for others...
If you have the ability to find a good one...
It's great for people to be like this, don't be too serious...
Focus on the overall situation...
In the end, I couldn't persuade you, even if you yelled, you are not a good person...
And so on.
It's simply the same approach but the same purpose.
The key is that Fei Qian knows that some of the people who make these comments may be merchants or employees, but a large part of them are still ordinary people who are almost the same as Fei Qian...
It's like these farmers in front of them are kowtowing to Zhao Laosi and saying good things. Perhaps the reason is just because Zhao Laosi rented them acres of land, let them work, and sometimes gave them porridge when they needed money.
You can also lend them money at high interest rates, and there is no such thing as the big Wang family in the next county who will rob their land, bully their wives and daughters, and beat their children to death. Then Zhao Laosi is a good person.
In this way, it was worthwhile for this group of farmers to risk their own lives and block Fei Qian's way to speak and plead for Zhao Laosi. And what's very interesting is that after these farmers put in good words and begged for Zhao Laosi, Zhao Laosi
Will Lao Si thank these farmers for this and give them any special benefits?
No, basically not.
Even if there is, it is pitifully few.
But even so, these farmers still feel that they should stand on the side of "justice" and redress injustice for the sake of "good people"!
You know, if Fei Qian hadn't noticed something was wrong and ordered the soldiers at the front of the queue to withdraw their weapons...
Of course, these sheep who don't know much about anything but think they know a lot dare to do this. Others... even hundreds of leopards wouldn't dare to stop the advancing army!
Fei Qian listened with a smile, and then told these farmers that what you said is good, I will think about it carefully, and then let people send these farmers away...
Seeing these farmers leaving, Fei Qian ordered to start again.
After walking for a short while, Fei Qian lowered his head and asked Fei Zhen with a smile, "What do you think of what they said? Is Zhao Laosi a good person or a bad person? Should he be punished or not?"
Fei Zhen glanced at Fei Qian, "Father, you are here to bully me again... Does it matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, and whether you are guilty or innocent?"
"Hey, it's hard to lie..." Fei Qian raised his head and laughed, "Not bad, keep talking..."
"You must be convicted because of a crime. The key point is whether you have committed the crime or not!" Fei Zhen said with a groan, "What does it have to do with whether Zhang and Zhao have good or bad character?"
Fei Qian nodded, "Yes, your idea is already somewhat close to the third point of Fei's Secret..."
Feizhen became excited, "Really? Hahaha! Then what is the third secret of our family?"
Fei Qian touched Fei Zhen's head and said calmly, "Remember, the third secret is to divide people into things... people should be divided into people, things should be done according to things... Of course, it is not that simple to do it in detail... Slowly
Take your time, just remember first..."
Feizhen nodded as if she understood, and after a moment said, "Then what are these farmers here for? Could it be that this Zhao Si... is some kind of key figure?"
Fei Qian nodded with a smile, and then shook his head, "If someone's prediction is correct, this Zhao Si may be just a minor crime... At most, it's just a violation of the law of lending... So Zhao Si is guilty or innocent."
It’s not important, what’s important is to use this to test someone...』
"What kind of temptation?" Fei Zhen asked, raising her head.
"You'll find out if you read on..." Fei Qian chuckled, "How about it, it was fun, right? You don't regret coming out?"
"Yeah!" Feizhen, who was getting used to military life, nodded, "It would be better if I could eat better every day..."
"Haha, we have to wait until we get to Anyi..." Fei Qian laughed, "But when we get to Anyi, there are more fun things to do than eating..."
"What happened?" Feizhen asked.
Fei Qian once again whetted his appetite, "You'll know when the time comes..."
