In fact, Zhang Liao's behavior of making people shout out the red cloak is just a test.
He was not sure whether the so-called guy wearing a red cloak was the real horse thief leader.
But you can give it a try...
Unfortunately, Ma Xiu didn't know that Zhang Liao was testing.
Ma Xiu's leg, which had not yet healed, reminded him of his incompetence at all times.
Ma Xiu licked his dry lips. The bumps of the war horse still made his legs hurt. He forced himself to stop thinking about the wounds on his legs as much as possible, so as not to be seen as weak by others.
But Ma Xiu secretly turned around and saw Zhang Liao's flag following closely behind, and suddenly felt short of breath and panic.
How is this possible?
Ma Xiu didn't understand why he was still targeted by Zhang Liao without placing a banner? He was preparing to escape in the chaos, and planned that it was almost dark anyway, and it would be safe as long as he had been through this period of time, but he didn't expect...
Ma Xiu turned around again, and suddenly heard some messy shouts, and suddenly became shocked!
cloak!
Damn cloak!
Because the wound on his legs has not yet healed, he is more afraid of the cold and wears an extra cloak than usual. The cloak can not only be used to keep the cold in the morning and evening, but also can be treated as an extra quilt when sleeping, or folded and placed under his legs to relieve the pain of pressure on the wound, which is of many use.
Ma Xiu quickly pulled away the cloak, threw it to a guard beside him, and shouted: "Tie it! Then run to the side!"
After Ma Xiu finished yelling, he accelerated again, not paying attention to the look of the guard who was half behind...
The guard looked down at the cloak in his hand, gritted his teeth, tied it up, then drove his horse to the side of the queue, then turned his head and shouted to Maxiu, "Young leader! Let's go!"
Ma Xiu did not do any movement, as if he didn't hear it.
Of course, even if he really heard it, he would still pretend that he hadn't heard it.
Ma Xiu had never read any books, and he always sneered at the concepts of benevolence, righteousness and morality of the Han people, believing that the Han people are hypocritical and those scriptures are all deceitful. He thought he was very smart, saw through the Han people's treacherous schemes, and escaped the trap set by the Han people in the name of "benevolence, righteousness and morality", but he did not realize that the Han people's "benevolence, righteousness and morality" was not aimless...
In most cases, this kind of moral constraint that seems stupid is a strong foundation for an organization, a team, and a society.
Zhang Liao was not deceived, but because of Ma Xiu's extravagant behavior, he confirmed that he was chasing a big fish.
Very simple.
Although Zhang Liao was unable to penetrate the figures blocking behind and saw Ma Xiu's small movements on the horse's back, most and few were still clear at a glance.
According to common sense, someone will leave most of his guards and escape alone ingeniously? Especially when he is called to break his whereabouts. Then there are only two possibilities: one is that the person wearing a cloak is not an important person at all. In order not to affect others, the other possibility is to replace people...
Of course, if there is really someone who doesn’t play according to common sense, Zhang Liao can’t help it. Then, in order to prevent a small number of people who don’t play according to common sense, and then do it in a way that goes against common sense for most other time? This is obviously not a wise choice.
The gap between war horses, as time goes by, gradually reflects the distance. With careful care and sufficient feed, the serious war horses naturally have stronger physical strength and more endurance than those war horses that are taken care of by horse thieves...
So Ma Xiu was in trouble.
Totally unlucky.
There are actually no one around Ma Xiu. There is no such person as loyal or slanderous as Pang De. What's more sad is that all this is caused by Ma Xiu himself. Ma Xiu talks about his family and brothers every day, but when he really encounters things, his behavior towards his family and brothers is completely exposed. Family members are used to deceive, brothers are used to sell, and Ma Xiu believes that the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the Han people are all deceptive, so he did not consider how the team would become if he really lost the "benevolence, righteousness and morality" as the leader...
When there are benefits, Ma Xiu can win over some people, but wait until danger comes...
When the first danger came, Pound died in his place.
Ma Xiu did not learn any lessons from it or gained any amazing growth.
Therefore, when the second danger came, the guard who was still loyal to him was sent away by Ma Xiu himself with a cloak.
Among the horse thieves he summoned, someone who had a sense of justice was killed by Ma Xiu himself.
It is natural to imagine what kind of people the rest of Ma Xiu would be.
This road, step by step, was taken by Ma Xiu himself.
The horse thieves who were behind in the Maxiu queue saw that they were about to be caught up by Zhang Liao, and some people were panicked and subconsciously avoided the side. Some were shot directly by Zhang Liao's men, but some people escaped under the gradually low twilight.
So Maxiu's queue was like ice cream under the high temperature of summer. Not only did the appearance begin to melt, but the shape gradually collapsed. More and more horse thieves left Maxiu's queue and fled their own lives. Such collapse was even formed in an instant, which made Maxiu and Zhang Liao stunned for a moment...
Although there are some hills and meadows around Xihai City, most of them are still relatively flat, so when Maxiu's queues scattered, it was like a Sloke billiard shot hard, Zhang Liao and Maxiu met directly!
At this time, there were two or three still loyal guards beside Ma Xiu, but for the current situation, this number of guards is equivalent to naked, or just socks on their bodies?
Ma Xiu howled subconsciously, not knowing whether he was cursing those who left him or venting his fear...
This sentence sometimes makes sense.
I don’t know if it was exhausted, or if there was something wrong with daily maintenance, or if the horse’s hooves were hooked. Anyway, suddenly, Ma Xiu’s war horse fell off and threw Ma Xiu out!
Ma Xiu fell heavily to the ground because there were straw mats on the ground. He did not break his neck on the spot, but just broke another good leg...
The remaining two or three guards of Ma Xiu tried to rescue him, but they were not the opponents of Zhang Liao and others who were catching up with him. They almost met each other, just like a few scattered snowflakes encountered flames. They just made a slight sound and disappeared.
Ma Xiu was stunned by the fall and moaned on the ground in pain. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was the only one left in the world.
Ma Xiu subconsciously twisted on the ground frantically, crawling in the direction away from Zhang Liao, dragging his injured leg and breaking his legs, struggling to survive.
Zhang Liao grabbed the horse and returned to the trap. Looking at Ma Xiu crawling on the ground, "Are you the leader of the horse thief?"
"No!" I don't know if it was fear or pain, but Ma Xiu burst into tears and denies it, "No, no! I'm not!"
Zhang Liao looked around and said, "But I think you are."
Ma Xiu finally collapsed.
"Don't kill me!" Ma Xiu shouted heart-wrenchingly, "I'm still useful! I can tell you a lot of things! A lot, a lot!"
Zhang Liao was sure now, so he smiled, dismounted, and stood in front of Ma Xiu with a sword.
"Oh? What can you tell me?" Zhang Liao looked at Ma Xiu.
Ma Xiu looked at Zhang Liao with a look of anticipation, looking completely pitiful, "I...I can tell you everything! Everything! Really! The people in Xihai City who are in the joints... and those I know... tell you all! As long as... as long as I spare me! I will treat me as a fart and let me go!"
Zhang Liao thought for a moment, shook his head, "Ha, forget it, these are not important, what is important is...I don't like farting..."
"No..." Ma Xiu screamed.
A knife light flashed.
Blood flew out.
…_(:,》∠)_…
The dusk is deep.
The Mansion of General Cavalry.
After Fei Qian's potential Guo Tu and Feng Ji left, they did not end the meeting, but instead retained Xun You and Pang Tong.
The servant gave some refreshments.
The tea in the General's Mansion is similar to the tea in later generations, and it is loose tea instead of ball tea.
The advantage of loose tea is that it does not require steaming green and bakes directly, retaining the true color and taste of the tea leaves. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to store. In addition, there is no such method of grinding, crushing, and whipping.
Later Eastern tea ceremony basically preserved the habit of drinking tea in China during the Tang and Song dynasties. For example, some people feel excited because they are foreign goods. In fact, they have been popular in China for a long time and have become out of fashion for a long time.
The most fundamental reason why loose tea can ultimately defeat group tea is simplification.
Boil water, brew, and drink.
Return to the essence.
That's enough. Although the methods of fighting tea with matcha are not called erotic bitches, they are indeed too many things attached to the tea itself, which fails to highlight its true core.
The core is the needs of people.
It's like the politics of the present.
What is needed is good, and what is not needed is adding extra money or going in the opposite direction.
『Jiangdong…』 Fei Qian held the teacup and asked like an ordinary chat, "If I send some people... rumored that a hundred clinics can cure Zhou Gongjin's illness, what about it?"
Xun You was stunned, "Lord, these hundreds of clinics are really good..."
Fei Qian smiled and said, "There are so many diseases in the world, not just tens of thousands, but hundreds of clinics are just hundreds of doctors after all..."
Can you still understand this way?
Xun You couldn't help but stroke his beard and was speechless.
『In addition, as far as I know, Zhou Gongjin's condition...it is called cough and asthma...the internal government's ills are above the terror, what if it is?』 Fei Qian sighed and said, 『If Zhou Gongjin had come to Chang'an a few years ago... Maybe...it is beyond the reach of manpower now...
According to the information transmitted from the information line from Fei Qianjiangdong, Zhou Yu is likely to be a problem such as respiratory infections and viral bronchitis. This disease develops slowly in the early stages, often like ordinary wind and cold, and does not attract much attention. Of course, under the medical conditions of the Han Dynasty, even if it is paid attention to, there may not be any targeted anti-inflammatory drugs.
In the early stage, it may be just a cough, but in the late stage, this disease is prone to concurrent obstructive emphysema during the progression of the disease, which will cause damage to lung function, which will greatly affect health and labor. After the temperature rises in spring, it will be relieved to a certain extent, and will repeat again in winter.
Chinese traditional Chinese medicine mostly uses routines to name diseases, that is, symptoms to name diseases. Therefore, in many cases, it seems a bit inaccurate. For example, asthma, asthma and cough are included in it, which will indeed cause some problems at some point, so that Mr. Zhou criticizes traditional Chinese medicine very much. However, what should be criticized is not the quack doctor, but the mechanism of constantly producing quack doctors.
It’s like finding kidney deficiency, not solving the real root cause and nourishing the deficiency, but using certain pill recipes to continuously stimulate the yang energy, is the final result...
When Zhou Yu's illness is mild, if he rests, generally speaking, the symptoms of bronchitis will become chronic, but it will not deteriorate too quickly. It is possible to delay it for more than ten or twenty years. However, it is obvious that the continuous changes in Jiangdong have made Zhou Yu unable to calm down at all.
What ultimately led to Zhou Yu's current situation was a disease, but not a disease.
『But...』 Fei Qian turned the conversation back, 『Nevertheless, the health care techniques of doctors in Baijian's clinic can prolong their lives...』
This is true.
There are many doctors in the hundreds of clinics. Even if they cannot cure Zhou Yu's illness, they can more or less slow down their illness and prolong their lifespan.
During this period, Fei Qian arranged a physical examination for middle and upper-level officials in Chang'an.
Well, that's right, it's similar to the physical examination of employees in later generations.
This is a benefit to employees and also a benefit to the boss.
"Doctor Hua once said that cough and asthma are often caused by insufficient positive energy, lack of duty in the outside world, and the external evil is dereliction of duty, invading the five internal organs, causing qi deficiency and dampness to accumulate, and the power to absorb qi..." Fei Qian said slowly, "It's just spread to Jiangdong... What choice would Sun Zhongmou make?"
"Is there no right to accept the energy?" Pang Tong laughed twice, "This sentence alone is enough to make the boy angry... But I guess Sun Zhongmou will definitely not let Zhou Gongjin go... The lord's plan is a way to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot...
Life and death are terrible.
This is something that all living beings have to face but do not want to face.
Hua Tuo was describing the normal sentence of cough and asthma, but those uneasy and kind-hearted guys in Jiangdong must have been able to understand some special meanings from it.
If all the guys in Jiangdong can be united in one's heart, then Fei Qian's trick is not worth mentioning at all. But here's the problem, may the people in Jiangdong be united?
Fei Qian also laughed, and after a while, he sighed slightly, "What a pity Zhou Gongjin."
Pang Tong also smiled, as if he had recalled something, and said, "The song made a mistake, Zhou Lang Gu... Tsk tsk, I never thought that this year has come, hug...
Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong's belly and said, "Shi Yuan, Doctor Hua also said that if your belly is not small, there will be trouble in the future..."
"Ah?" Pang Tong touched his belly and showed a very helpless and distressed look, "This... is all like this, and we still need to clear it?"
Why should we reduce the weight of our ability?
That's right, after Pang Tong lost weight during the loss of his trip to Wancheng some time ago, his weight rebounded retaliatoryly. Pang Tong stroked his belly and lamented, "I understand."
Fei Qian looked at Xun You again and said, "Gongda, shoulders and neck are sore, Doctor Hua also said that he should avoid sitting for a long time and writing... I remember to use the leaks I sent to..."
Xun You bowed, "Thank you for your mercy, lord."
Fei Qian nodded and said, "Look at Zhou Gongjin's mistakes to understand himself. If Zhou Gongjin cherishes his body, how could he have the terminal illness in Jiangdong now? Once Zhou Gongjin died, Jiangdong suddenly became smooth and he was suspicious..."
This is almost an inevitable problem, but the problem is that Jiangdong still couldn't really solve this problem when he realized it.
The problem in Jiangdong should have occurred in the Sun Jian era, but Sun Jian did not take it seriously and did not solve this problem. So when Sun Ce was about to deal with it simplifiedly, it ended up thundering. For Sun Quan, his methods were gradually matured in the later stages, but there were still problems. It can even be said that they had some paranoid manifestations, which felt more like solving the problem for revenge, and even taking advantage of his own children.
『The ills of Jiangdong are like Gongjin's illness, and they are already in a desperate situation...』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『People from Huai Si realize that they have made contributions and despise the people of Jiangnan...They belong to Jiangdong are mostly unruly and regard the Sun family as thieves... The civil officials claim to be scriptures, and military generals are proud of their violentness... Only Zhou Gongjin, who is both Huai Si and is better than Jiangdong, has a feather fan and a lunar scarf, and martial artists travel on the battlefield...』
Xun You glanced at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong's expression was as normal.
"Zhou Gongjin may be separated or died, and all the Jiangdong corpses will definitely be in conflict." Fei Qian continued, "The incident of Jiangdong's attack on Sichuan may be lost..."
Pang Tong nodded and said, "As the lord said, I watched the incident of Jiangdong attacking Sichuan, which was Zhou Gongjin's plan to adopt the policy of the throne..."
It is actually not difficult to guess what Zhou Yu will do in this last period of time.
Because Zhou Yu is a gentleman.
A gentleman's behavior is the best guess.
Zhou Yu’s current strategy seems very complicated, but if you understand his core goal, everything will be simple. In fact, it is everything for Jiangdong, or everything for the foundation left by Sun Ce.
Under such a goal, Zhou Yu would pass on the unstable factors within Jiangdong through the war to conquer Sichuan and Shu as much as possible, so that those rebellious generals would withdraw gloriously, or those clerical officials who were destined to be sympathetic to the enemy. In the whole process, perhaps it was indeed to obtain the land of Sichuan and Shu, but the cleaning in this process was also essential.
This is also a conspiracy.
Fei Qian smelled some familiar smells.
Xun You nodded from the side and said, "Zhou Gongjin takes himself as his foundation... In this game, he must not withdraw... Zhou Gongjin will die in Jiangdong..."
Pang Tong sighed, "The lord took this strategy and rumored that Zhou Gongjin's backhand was ruined by the rumor in Jiangdong... It was very wonderful. If Zhou Gongjin did not come to Chang'an, he would take it from his own way. No wonder others, so naturally there was no use of so-called sorrowful soldiers. If he came... Well, what Gongda said was right, he would definitely not be able to come."
For a moment, the three of them fell silent.
This is a way Fei Qian gave to Zhou Yu.
It's not necessarily the Sunshine Avenue.
But at least he will live longer than in Jiangdong.
