The changes in the desert seem to be accidental and inevitable.
The Central Plains and the Desert are like two ends of a U-shaped pipe. If the pressure on that section is strong, the other end will be pushed out.
While the nomadic people did not fully master the iron technology of the Han people, the Han people, who had relatively mature iron metallurgy technology, improved the mobility of their war horses and the durability of their cavalry.
A man of thirty years has very fast hand speed.
Let’s put aside Zhang He’s branch advancing in Mobei and return to Yuzhou.
In Yangcheng, Yuzhou, there are also some people who are unwilling to be lonely...
For some reason, these people who were originally sent to present prisoners to the emperor were stranded in Yangcheng and underwent 21 days of quarantine. Bah, etiquette training. They could not go to Xu County before completing the etiquette training.
For these Xiqiang prisoners, many of them are actually like zombies. As relatives or direct leaders of Beigong, they have lost everything. It is like their human backbone has been taken away, leaving only
Because of their animal instincts, these Xiqiang captives don't care about stagnation or stagnation, or even don't care about anything.
But for other people, it's different.
For example, Shen Yi.
Shen Yi rubbed her hands like a fly and found Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan had made a lot of money in Chang'an before. Seeing the rumors among the three assistants in Chang'an, he became nervous during the day. He was not sure when he would be burned, so he took advantage of this opportunity.
, smoothly blending into the queue of prisoners.
In such a fair and open manner, Sanfu got out, and Pei Yuan even brought Shen Yi along with him.
What?
How did you get out so easily?
Paralyzed, such a strict censorship system in later generations can justifiably sneak out. Is it so strange that a big man can sneak out with a few people now?
For Pei Yuan, Yuzhou or Jizhou must be his first choice. After all, these two places are relatively stable, wealthy, and highly educated, so they are very suitable for Pei Yuan to live. Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou?
It's relatively chaotic, but it's not unacceptable. As for the more remote places like Youzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, in Pei Yuan's opinion, they are simply barbaric and are places where lower-class people go.
In Pei Yuan's arms, there is a small wooden box. Inside the wooden box is the money he has made in the past two or three years. Although he was a member of the Pei family in Hedong before, Pei Yuan's father had already
He died, so in fact Pei Yuan's life was not very good.
Sometimes some friends around him have new brocade robes to wear, and he has to carefully wear his only robe and protect it at all times, fearing that it will accidentally hook or pull something.
It means that a whole piece of clothing is ruined. Then it may mean that you have to wear torn clothes, or you can only wear old ones.
Other gentry children were riding horses for an outing, looking for fragrance. He could only take an ox cart to slowly go to the meeting, because his family could not afford a horse. Or he did not even have an ox cart, only mules, or even
Donkey cart.
Some nobles have a pretty maid and a beautiful concubine by their side, and they have a clumsy old servant next to them, or they serve themselves. The only choice is the left hand or the right hand...
Normally, in the process of forming Pei Yuan's world view, outlook on life and values, his parents should play a relatively important guiding role, but it is a pity that Pei Yuan's father died young, and his mother pulled Pei Yuan and others
Growing up has already taken a lot of effort, and I don't have much time to pay attention to Pei Yuan or sort out Pei Yuan's psychological changes.
Ever since, Pei Yuan wanted to have what others had. This desire eventually accumulated little by little and became the ultimate desire. An uncontrollable, unstoppable, greedy desire.
When Pei Yuan gained power, he began to turn to greed.
The goal of authority is to obtain money, and the purpose of money is to satisfy his greed. He feels unsatisfied and greedy that he owed when he was a child.
At the beginning, he felt that he could give anything to have the things he longed for when he was young!
So when there was an opportunity to satisfy his desires, he naturally couldn't help it.
Logically speaking, the Council of Laws where Pei Yuan is located does not have any specific real power, and there is no way to say that it can directly buy and sell materials like the Dahan Chamber of Commerce. However, Pei Yuan is quick-witted and eloquent, even if there are some matters.
He has no way to do it at all, but as long as it is beneficial, he will vaguely agree to it first. As for whether he can do it later...
Who cares?
Then unfortunately, the Cavalry General Feiqian started to take care of it so much.
Before Pei Yuan fully announced the "Law of Corruption", he already knew the key points and realized his own problems. After knowing that there was going to be a large-scale trial, Pei Yuan didn't have much luck.
.
Because the Hedong Pei clan, especially that damn old guy Pei Mao, would even sacrifice the heads of the clan to save Pei Mao himself! So if Pei Yuan himself is in some trouble, Pei Mao, the old immortal, will definitely have another problem.
Not to mention abandoning Pei Yuan directly!
In the end, the only way left was to escape.
After all, Cao Cao and Fei Qian are currently in a state of confrontation.
Then Pei Yuan could apply for asylum in Yuzhou by using the name of a person who was oppressed and tortured by the Hussar, and maybe he could work as a middle-aged official...
Rich, free, and happy.
But Pei Yuan's happy mood was disturbed by Shen Yi.
Shen Yi didn't have Pei Yuan's patience.
After all, Shen Yi shoulders the mission of saving the Shen family in Shangyong. Pei Yuan can wait, but Shen Yi cannot afford to wait. Shen Yi's goal is to get in front of the emperor Liu Xie, and then find an opportunity to cry and complain.
Fortunately, the emperor Liu Xie can still issue an edict of pardon or something. If that doesn't work, then Shen Yi will do the next best thing, saying that the Shen family admires the emperor and wants to migrate to Yuzhou...
Then Shen Yi can use chicken feathers as command arrows, uh, and use righteousness as food. Well, that's the meaning anyway, as long as she cries and makes trouble in front of the emperor, and then as long as Qiusi dares to take action, Shen's family will
He immediately expressed that he had obtained the emperor's permission and got the visa, bah, the green card, um, it was a temporary transfer, and he was going to Yuzhou!
So Pei Yuan and Shen Yi are in two different states. Pei Yuan has escaped and is leisurely and leisurely with his flight tickets in his arms, while Shen Yi is still waiting to take a chicken feather back to save the Shen family.
Of course, the attitude towards staying in Yangcheng is different.
"Don't be anxious... Dear brother, don't be anxious..." Pei Yuan tried to appease Shen Yi.
Pei Yuan wasn't stupid either. He saw that Shen Yi couldn't hold it in any longer. Similarly, Pei Yuan also felt that he could speed up a bit to save himself from the long nights and dreams. So after pondering for a moment, he came up with a way.
"If you are in a hurry to see the emperor..." Pei Yuan said slowly, "Someone has a plan... I must have seen the battle of Hanzhong when I was in Hanzhong. I also witnessed the strength of the hussar army."
See, so if this is the reason..."
Shen Yi frowned and said, "Brother Pei means..."
"I heard about the Battle of Hanzhong... what kind of Vulcan stone cannon was there?" Pei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I guess... if it is... it must be... Haha, brother, do you understand?"
……(;￢＿￢)……
Dark mountains.
Dark trees.
Black and numb road.
Zhang Yu's legs were shaking and he was gritting his teeth.
A chicken can fly up a tree if it's anxious, a dog can jump over a wall if it's anxious, a person can jump over a wall if it's anxious...
It is impossible to fight desperately. It is impossible to fight desperately in this life. The only option is to run away.
The mountain road leading to Xiapi is winding and rugged in the night, and is faintly visible in the sight. The shadows of the trees on the mountain are staggered, and the wind blows and sways it, as if there are countless soldiers and horses hidden, and they may pounce out at any time.
Zhang Yu followed closely behind the team, moving forward one step at a time.
As I said, the logistics officer has some small rights. Although this right cannot be taken away by life or death, in some aspects it can also determine who can eat more and who can take more. In addition, there are also some in the photo below.
Some of the soldiers recruited by Zhou Tai who were originally from Guangling had a hard time after surrendering. They were bullied and beaten by Jiangdong soldiers from time to time, and Zhou Tai didn't care at all...
Ever since, Zhang Yu found an opportunity.
There are locals in Xiaxiang who are very familiar with the surrounding roads, where there are woods, where there are medicinal mountain roads, and where the water flow is particularly shallow...
The guy who was familiar with the road led the way, avoiding the official road, and found a trail, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. If you escape alone, you will become a deserter. Even if you argue that you escaped, you will not be able to escape.
No one would believe it, but with Zhang Yu, everything was different.
Zhang Yu is a son of the gentry. Although his family has fallen into disgrace, he is still a gentry. This team led by a gentry is no longer a deserter but a warrior who goes deep into the tiger's den to spy on the enemy!
Therefore, although Zhang Yu was not very physically strong, he still received good care and was helped to sit aside.
Zhang Yu felt that the soles of his feet were in burning pain. He didn't know whether it was scratched by thorns in the dark night, or because he had walked for too long on the difficult mountain road and had blisters...
Anyway, Zhang Yu's legs are shaking now.
A dozen Guangling soldiers on the side were also resting and talking in low voices.
"Niang Xipi! These Jiangdong dogs are really not good things..."
"We Guangling people are not human beings?"
"If you say it, officials are nothing. They should run away first. Otherwise, there are so many men with knives and guns who can just beat them and run away!" A middle-aged man said angrily.
The middle-aged man is a sword and shield hand, but of course he doesn't have a sword and shield now. He is a veteran and has a very burly figure. He is not lacking in martial prowess, because the scars on his body prove this. He only has three fingers left on his right hand.
There are four remaining fingers on his left hand, and those missing fingers were all lost in the fight.
"Stop talking nonsense! Go and take a look at the back!" the temporary team leader pointed at the middle-aged man and said.
"Why me?" The middle-aged man stood up dissatisfied and muttered.
The temporary team leader stared at him, "Because you talk the most nonsense!"
In fact, the team rate is not to gain official power, but to protect the middle-aged people.
The middle-aged people and team leaders are all veterans.
Some words are nice to say but not nice to hear.
Even if the official runs away, the soldiers cannot discuss it at will.
In addition, the middle-aged man is also a veteran. Although he is a sword and shield hand, he also has enough battlefield experience. Let him go to the rear to survey. On the one hand, he feels more at ease. On the other hand, it also makes the middle-aged man's complaints go away.
As for being his fault.
The middle-aged man snorted, said nothing more, and went back to investigate on his way back.
The leader of the temporary team came up to Zhang Yu and said, "Master Zhang, these are rough people and they are talking crazy things..."
Zhang Yu understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry... I know... the most important thing now is to escape first, everything else can be easily discussed..."
In order to pull such a team, Zhang Yu really had to worry a lot. With the convenience of the logistics officer, he not only had to contact these surrendered soldiers, but more importantly, he had to select the right people, otherwise he would be killed before he could escape.
He died in the city, and at the same time he was still looking for a chance to escape...
Fortunately, as a logistics officer, there is another convenience, that is, he can meet Zhou Tai. Zhang Yu advised Zhou Tai that the food was not enough, but he could also go to Surabaya to catch fish and shrimps to satisfy his hunger and reduce the food supply.
Consumption. Zhou Tai readily agreed. Anyway, Jiang Dongjun had done this before, and he was not disgusted with eating fish, shrimps, etc.
Although fish and shrimp are easy to smell, and the fish, shrimp, snails and other fish in the inland river actually have less meat, but after all, it is some supplement...
Only in this way did I slowly find the opportunity...
It's just a pity that there is a shortage of knives and guns. Some people even hold harpoons. After all, they come out in the name of fishing and hunting. Of course, there are no good guys who can carry them.
While he was saying something, the middle-aged man who had gone to investigate behind came back in a hurry. Although he tried hard to control his emotions, there was still a trace of trembling in his low voice, "Jiang Dongbing behind, chase, chase."
Coming up!』
After being coaxed, everyone was in confusion.
Fleeing under the cover of night, I originally thought that Jiangdong's army would not notice anything wrong until dawn, and then they could successfully get rid of Jiangdong's pursuit. However, they did not expect that the flaw was discovered in the middle of the night. Zhou Tai was furious and ordered his soldiers to follow the trail.
Come up...
Although Zhang Yu and others did not take the official road, but chose the mountain trails that are not often used, Zhou Tai did not wait for the next phase. He also sent soldiers to explore some of the surrounding mountain roads and trails, so Zhang
Of course, some Jiangdong soldiers came to check on the road that Yu and others took.
Fortunately, in the dark night, Jiangdong soldiers were not very familiar with the road after all, so they marched with torches, and were discovered by Zhang Yu and other Guangling soldiers who were walking in the dark.
Zhang Yu stood up suddenly, and then stepped on the ground. The soles of his feet felt sharp pain again. He groaned and shook his legs again. It was difficult to walk fast, let alone run...
If you keep walking, the pain will be numb, so although there is an injury, it will not hurt much. After resting, when the wound is squeezed again, it will actually hurt more than before!
"It's over..."
When the surrounding Guangling soldiers saw this situation, they couldn't help but howl out.
Taking Zhang Yu would obviously slow down their escape, but if they didn't take Zhang Yu, they would still be ordinary deserters even if they escaped to Xiapi! They would be beheaded if caught!
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be put into a death camp, and it will take three levels of merit to escape!
Zhang Yuneng immediately surrendered when Jiangdong soldiers hit the door and put the knife on his neck. When he realized that Zhou Tai had ill intentions towards him, he was able to immediately start preparing to escape. In terms of quick wit, Zhang Yu was more or less capable.
some...
"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!" Zhang Yu tried his best to endure the pain, put his feet down, and stepped on them lightly alternately, while comforting the soldiers around him and letting his head think quickly.
"How many people are you chasing?" Zhang Yu asked the middle-aged man who discovered the traces of Jiangdong soldiers.
The middle-aged man thought about it for a moment and said, "There were at least two or ten of them."
Zhang Yu exhaled, "Then don't be afraid!"
There were only a dozen or so, which meant that it was just an ordinary pursuit, or just a check, and it was not confirmed that Zhang Yu had really walked this mountain road. If it was already confirmed that Zhang Yu and others were here, how come there were only a dozen or so?
Zhang Yu looked around, and then saw the intersection of the mountain trail, "Over there, can you make a trap? Who knows how to make a trap?"
"Mr. Zhang, do you mean... to set up an ambush?" asked the temporary team leader.
"Yes. I think...these Jiangdong soldiers didn't really notice us, so we should have a chance...after all, now, I...can't run fast...even if I escape, I will be caught up by them sooner or later," Zhang Yu
He shook his legs. Although the soles of his feet still hurt, they were better than before, but they were still not enough to compare with these thick-skinned soldiers. "So it's better to ambush and strike first...even if we can't attack them all."
Killing can at least delay the time..."
The temporary team leader thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and made arrangements directly. Of course, Zhang Yu staggered and hid under the shadow of the rocks first.
After a while, Jiang Dongbing, who came to search, appeared holding a torch.
Although these Jiangdong soldiers said they were searching left and right, they did not pay too much attention. After all, they believed that even if Zhang Yu and others escaped, they would most likely be on the official road, followed by those along the Surabaya River, such as these medicinal collectors.
Just take a look at the mountain trails.
If you are psychologically careless, you will certainly suffer.
Jiang Dongbing did not expect that Zhang Yu and others would dare to ambush them, because they knew that Zhang Yu and others did not have many weapons and armor, but they also did not expect that there are actually many things that can kill people. Sometimes a stone,
A rough tree trunk or a dagger usually used to cut ropes and sharpen sticks can kill someone.
The sudden attack stunned Jiangdong soldiers. In panic, the first few Jiangdong soldiers were thrown to the ground. The screams frightened the night birds in the forest and echoed among the valleys, frightening those who fell behind.
Several Jiangdong soldiers turned around and ran away...
"Stop chasing!" Zhang Yu emerged from the shadow of the rocks, "Bring your weapons, let's go quickly!"
Zhang Yu looked at the panicked Jiangdong soldiers fleeing along the mountain path. For some reason, it felt as if he had lost a stone that had been pressed for a long time. Even the burning pain in the soles of his feet was much better.
