Chapter 2343 How many souls can be buried in a pit?
I often see people sighing, saying that if they had worked harder as a child and not fallen into the pit of laziness, they would have been like this now. When it comes to emotional points, their noses will be red and tears will fill their eyes, and then
Well, when I finished talking at the wine table and returned home, I looked at the books for further study placed on the table. I just hesitated a little and then lay down on the bed again. The sky was huge and the earth was the biggest, and what about those books tomorrow?
It’s not too late to look again!
Zhao Kuo must have been familiar with military literature before going into battle, and he was familiar with the big and small pitfalls in military affairs. Everyone knew what happened next. Just like everyone who drives on the road does not want to encounter a car accident, but there are either
You may see others encounter it, or you may encounter it yourself.
Those people who fell into the pit were really stupid. How could I have fallen into the pit? It was clearly a pit, so how could anyone jump into it? Anyway, I wouldn’t jump into it if others jumped...
Before the incident happened, the descendants of the Jingxiang gentry also thought the same way.
These gentry children in Jingxiang never thought that they would encounter such a situation. They should be wearing brocade robes, wearing silk scarves, E Guanbo with big sleeves fluttering, sitting high in the hall, talking about, what?
Can you live with the sand like now, and even be pushed and trampled on by others?
Things shouldn't be like this!
Everything in front of me was simply a tragedy!
On weekdays, most of them only know how to talk, and most of them are relatively weak in physique. Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, their reaction nerves are also slow. If they stagger once, they may be knocked down, and then countless big feet will step on them.
Come up...
By the time Cao Zhen realized something was wrong, a serious stampede had already occurred.
In front of the government office, more than ten people were trampled to death on the spot, and more than twenty people suffered injuries of varying severity. For a time, wailing echoed through the entire neighborhood.
Of course, such a scene is nothing compared to the cruelty on the battlefield, but for these children of the Jingxiang gentry clan, it caused an uproar.
Cao Cao didn't take action against those who criticized him, and Fei Qian didn't take action against those who criticized him. How dare you, a little Cao Ren, and Cao Zhen, who doesn't even have much beard, take action against a noble nobleman?!
When their children and grandchildren were killed or injured, the parents came out.
My son and grandson are usually reluctant to give him a beating or lose a hair. Now he died in front of the government office for no apparent reason. Should I give him an explanation?
When Liu Biao was about to die, we did not choose to surrender to Sun Quan, nor did we choose to rush to the pass to find Fei Qian. Instead, we wholeheartedly welcomed General Cao, and we did our best to supply Yuzhou with grain, grass, utensils, and now we have achieved such a result.
?
Does Mr. Cao want to give an explanation? If he doesn’t give an explanation, how can he calm down? If he can even endure this, won’t he be abused by Mr. Cao and do whatever he wants in the future? You must know that this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty.
The world is not owned by the Cao family!
Of course, there are many ways to "give explanations"...
At this point, Cao Ren was faced with two choices, one was to suppress it forcefully, and the other was to appease him immediately.
How to choose?
In fact, at this moment, no matter what choice I make, it is wrong. It’s just that I make more mistakes than others.
Cao Ren pressed his temple with the thumb of his right hand to prevent it from jumping around, and then said slowly: "This matter is quite strange..."
Yes, it must be strange. Normally, there will be a process, or a precursor, to the evolution of the situation, just like a superior inspection will inform you in advance, but this incident burst out almost in the blink of an eye, and then hit.
Everyone was caught off guard.
"The general's intention is..." Cao Zhen said, "Is there someone planning this behind the scenes?"
Cao Ren raised his head, closed his eyes and thought, and after a moment he said: "I remembered something..."
Without waiting for Cao Zhen to ask, Cao Ren continued to speak slowly, "In the past, there was also a gathering of people to make trouble under the Husbands... Chang'an was also in chaos, and countless students were bleeding in the streets..."
"Hiss..." Cao Zhen took a breath and said with some hesitation, "So... I heard that at that time... it was..."
Cao Ren nodded, and then his eyes were slightly cold. "Send the order! Open the government office, let people come in!"
This matter cannot be avoided, it can only be faced, and the sooner it is resolved, the better.
A group of people entered the hall, some were still polite and courteous, while others looked at them coldly.
Cao Ren didn't say anything more. After asking everyone to sit down, he said: "Everyone, this mistake was made by a certain emperor who was not strict... Zidan! Come forward and apologize!"
Without saying a word, Cao Zhen stepped forward and bowed to everyone, "I really didn't handle it properly, and my two and three sons were unfortunately injured. I would like to apologize to you all!" After saluting, he stood up and stepped back.
Among the people sitting in the hall, some were stunned, some frowned, and some stared with angry expressions, but these people were basically of a certain age, and even if they had some ideas, they would not immediately look like ants.
Jumping up like a grasshopper, he just waited silently for Cao Ren's follow-up, because as long as he has a normal mind, he must know that things are definitely not that simple, which means he understands.
Sure enough, after Cao Zhen retreated, Cao Ren looked around and said, "A spy has entered the city... All the sons of the clan are full of knowledge and talents... Haha, maybe not necessarily, but they must be reasonable people who know how to judge things...
』
"Now I just rely on one or two pieces of information to gather people in front of the government offices to cause trouble, beat court officials to death, and provoke military generals..." Although Cao Ren still had a slight smile on his face, his tone gradually became colder.
, "And you also want to coerce Yu X into lowering your head and admitting your mistake, otherwise you will be unwilling to give in, and the fish will die and the net will be broken?"
Cao Ren's voice was not high-pitched, nor was it very loud, but it was like muffled thunder, rumbling across the hall and making everyone tremble.
For a family, perhaps the death of a descendant in the family is an unbearable tragedy, but for these old men who represent the entire family, they have seen too many people die on the road, and
For a clan, one or two people die...
Well, that's what happened.
The important thing is to see if you can get more benefits.
The Cai family did not participate, and neither did the Kuai family. The rest were local aborigines, large and small.
After the incident happened, these noble talkers also noticed something strange to some extent, but these people would not take the initiative to speak out. It was not until Cao Ren made the matter clear that they exchanged glances with each other, and then remained silent.
Even the elderly are sometimes provoked, not to mention the young nobles who spend most of their time eating and drinking.
Or maybe it’s not completely instigation, but just following the distorted guidance of the crowd.
When a group of people are together and do similar things every day, it is easy to form a herd mentality. That is, at certain moments, they will lose their individual thinking ability, or completely violate their original ideas, making their speech or behavior inconsistent with the group.
They are consistent and fear that their deviant behavior will be rejected by the group.
Some scientists have done experiments. In the experimental data, the probability of herd behavior occurring is about 33%, which is one-third. Moreover, among these people who follow the herd, they will have distorted perceptions, bent judgments, and even know that other people are wrong.
, will still follow the behavioral fallacy.
This kind of psychology has nothing to do with age, and has little to do with men and women. It is only related to personal willpower. This kind of herd mentality does not mean that you admire the kind of stubbornness that does not hit the wall and never look back, but that you know you are wrong but still do it.
I feel that the law is not responsible for the blind obedience of the public.
Such as running a red light, such as school bullying.
Another example is that these gentry children thoughtlessly turned to Cao Cao at first. Then they found out that they had made a mistake in their judgment and did not consider it to be their own problem. They just attributed the root cause to Cao Cao. Then when they saw something was wrong under Cao Cao, they
Suddenly, he started to stand against Cao Cao again.
Just like those people who jumped repeatedly in certain forums or blogs in later generations. After being guided by the lurking trolls, they hurriedly criticized this, then reversed it and quickly deleted the post, and then went to another place.
While cursing the other...
Cao Ren looked around, looking at each person's face one by one, distinguishing each person's expression, and then said: "Someone suspects that a spy from Jiangdong has entered the city and is preparing to cause trouble! Therefore, I ask you to check first. If there are any traces of suspicious people,
Report it quickly! In addition, inspections will also be carried out inside and outside the city, and some gatherings are strictly prohibited during this period! I hope you are informed!"
Everyone in the hall looked at me and I looked at you. Under the influence of the herd mentality again, no one stood up first, so naturally no one objected.
Just when Cao Ren ordered a city-wide search, on the hillside of Nanshan Mountain outside Xiangyang City, three or four people looked back. Although some figures were moving around in Xiangyang City, there was not much chaos.
"Pity……"
"It's not a pity, even if Cao Zixiao escaped this time, haha..."
"Of course, now that the blood has flowed, there is a gap. Now that there is a gap, haha, let's go, go..."
……ヽ(???)?(???)?……
Different from the verbal curses here in Jingxiang, in Chengdu, Li Miao led his soldiers outside Liu Zhang's courtyard in the dark of night.
More than a hundred torches burned blazingly, illuminating everything around them and forcing the darkness back. However, the darkness remained unyielding and unyielding, hiding in every corner, hiding in the corners of walls and courtyards, peeping, as if it were happening right now.
The same people on both sides of the street were secretly watching here.
Li declared that Xu Shu rebelled and marched into Chengdu. Suddenly, no one knew what the situation was and how chaotic it would be. Naturally, no one knew what the situation would be.
result.
This pool of water is no longer just turbid, but there are countless dark waves hidden in it, as if one or two dragons will pop out at any time! If the dragon can turn into a dragon, it will naturally be accompanied by thunder and thunder.
If he had not done well enough, the thunderbolt might have fallen on the dragon...
At this time, if you are not an extremely ambitious person, it is better to stick to your own family. Anyway, let's get through this period of uncertainty and instability first, and then decide your own position after the dust has settled.
Faced with this situation, Li Miao felt a little irritable. He originally thought that if he roared, there would naturally be a response, but now...
Although the Chengdu government office was captured, Dong and Dong Yun who were originally in the plan, as well as the seals and ribbons that were supposed to be in the government office, were all missing!
Although it is now held up with a carrot seal, it will definitely be troublesome as soon as the real thing shows up!
Therefore, Li Miao naturally needs to bring out the real thing to ensure that there will be no internal chaos...
Before Li Miao could wave his hand, the door of Liu Zhang's courtyard opened with a squeak.
The lights were flickering in the courtyard, and two or three servants tied Liu Zhang out, then knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed...
this……
Li Miao couldn't help but be stunned.
As the former master of Sichuan and Shu, Liu Zhang had been running the business for several years. Although it was said that after Liu Zhang lost power, everyone rebelled and deserted, but when things came to be, he couldn't even find one or two loyal protectors, and then he was given over to a few miscellaneous servants.
Tied up, it really makes people sigh with emotion.
It’s a real failure to reach this level of Liu Zhang as a human being...
Li Miao sometimes thought and was surprised that Liu Zhang had fallen to this level and couldn't make up his mind to give it a try? Could it be that Liu Yan didn't teach Liu Zhang any family knowledge? After all, he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty!
Aha, clan members of the Han Dynasty!
Ah ha, royal blood...
An indescribable smile appeared on Li Miao's face.
That's right, when Li Miao secretly approached Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang didn't even dare to come forward. He didn't even dare to make a slightly more certain promise, but just shied away and delayed.
Li Miao originally thought that it was not necessary for Liu Zhang to come forward. After all, if he could capture Dong He and collect tokens such as seals, ribbons, and seals in the city, he could openly command other counties. It would be better to have Liu Zhang.
, it’s not bad without Liu Zhang’s name.
But the problem was that when Li Miao captured the Chengdu government office, he discovered that there was only an empty shell left in the government office!
This made Li Miao's heart feel empty for a moment! Li Miao even wondered if he had fallen into a trap! After thinking about it, Li Miao felt that he might have tested Dong He before, so that Dong He had preconceived ideas.
Prepare……
While cursing Dong He for being so quick, Li Miao ordered a search for Dong He's whereabouts. On the other hand, he had to consider the second plan. After stabilizing the situation a little, he couldn't wait.
I came to ask Liu Zhang to come forward.
Perhaps because they came in the middle of the night, perhaps because the soldiers were in chaos, or perhaps for some other reason, the few remaining servants in Liu Zhang's courtyard thought that Li Miao was coming to trouble Liu Zhang, so they went first
He took action on Li Miao's behalf and tied Liu Zhang out.
This was fine. Li Miao thought he would have to waste some work, at least some words, to get Liu Zhang to open the door. Unexpectedly, he would save some effort this way.
"Come here!" Li Miao shouted loudly, pointing his halberd at the servants, "Arrest these unloyal and unrighteous people, slaves who harm the master!"
Several soldiers rushed forward and arrested the handyman slave who thought he had made a great contribution...
Li Miao took a few steps forward, pulled out the long sword from his waist, cut off the ropes on Liu Zhang's body himself, and then knelt down and bowed to the ground: "I am late to welcome you, and I have caused you great humiliation. You deserve death."
!I hope you will forgive me!』
As he spoke, Li Miao glanced at the soldiers on the side. His guards understood, and beheaded the servants on the spot, and then held the bloody heads in front of Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang looked at those heads and suddenly felt sick. He couldn't help but raise his sleeves, closed his eyes and turned his head.
"This traitor has been crowned! Please be at ease, young master!" Li Miao saw Liu Zhang's actions and sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. "Today, Xu Shu is in chaos and there is no master in Sichuan and Shu. I also ask young master to enter the house quickly and preside over it."
Big plan!"
Liu Zhang was at a loss and his mind went blank.
Liu Zhang himself was not a quick-witted person. All his strategies had to be thought over slowly before they could be planned and implemented...
When Li Miao found Liu Zhang before, although Liu Zhang said he was dissatisfied with the status quo and had a hard time, Liu Zhang didn't have the guts to make Liu Zhang take risks. According to Liu Zhang's idea, it is dangerous for others to do it, and then he can do it himself
It would be better to stay behind, so Liu Zhang neither refused nor reported it, and even had some vague expectations deep in his heart.
But after Li Miao really started to take action, Liu Zhang panicked again. He was afraid that he would be implicated in this, and even began to worry about whether he would be harmed by Li Miao. Therefore, Liu Zhang muttered to himself while staying in the hospital, and he was killed.
When the servants heard this, they thought it was Liu Zhang who had offended Li Miao, so when Li Miao came, it was a farce to tie Liu Zhang out.
Li Miao saw the change in the expression on Liu Zhang's face. He saluted Liu Zhang respectfully and said, "I am relieved to see that the young master is fine... Now that the situation is urgent, I ask the young master to come to the government office quickly to calm down the chaos!"
』
Liu Zhang was a little unable to react, "Here, what is going on? Where are you going? To calm down the chaos, what kind of chaos is going on?"
Li Miao was still smiling, "Sir! What are you worried about? Now that the traitor Xu has rebelled and brought trouble to Sichuan, you should bring order to the chaos... Is it possible that you are still willing to let these servants decide your life and death in this courtyard?"
』
Looking at the bloody heads not far from his feet, Liu Zhang's expression became a little ferocious, but even so, he was still holding his head in distress, unable to make up his mind no matter what.
Li Miao waited quietly for a while, shaking his head in his heart.
This noble young man is really not that good. This has been proven time and time again.
However, if Liu Zhang is too wise and decisive, he may not be easy to manipulate into a qualified puppet.
Now that things have happened, does he think he still has a choice?
You have to do it whether you do it or not!
Li Miao waved his hand, no longer waiting for Liu Zhang to speak, and directly gave the order loudly: "Now, by the order of the young master, lead us to rescue the people of Chengdu and the people of Sichuan and Sichuan, command the soldiers in central Sichuan, and quell the chaos! The young master is loyal and courageous.
Expelling Xu Ni, he is a role model for our generation. From now on, I swear to die for the young master!"
"I will die for you!"
Regardless of whether he died in service or laughed to death, at Li Miao's order, several personal guards immediately rushed forward, picked up Liu Zhang with all their skills, and surrounded him as they moved forward. Some people also brought armors.
, while walking, he put it on for Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he was surrounded by thick men. How could Liu Zhang get away with his small arms and thin legs?
At this point, Liu Zhang could only sigh in resignation and said to Li Miao on the side, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...you, just don't harm me! Now my life is in your hands, but thousands of
By all means, don’t let me down..."
Li Miao smiled, lowered his head and bowed, "Of course I won't harm the young master... Please don't worry, young master..."
