Therefore, people who know him well don't dare to disturb him late at night when he is sleeping soundly.
Can Xiahou Zijiang's escape be considered a particularly urgent military matter? Does Xiahou Shang have to be woken up from his sweet dream?
Cao Cao had the tradition of killing people in his dreams, and of course the people below him followed suit. Anyway, we are all great, so let’s kill people in our dreams together! It’s like the glasses and drinking glasses of later generations. They follow the example of the commander-in-chief. This is a tradition!
Therefore, when Xiahou Shang got up in the morning and received the news, his expression changed and became more ferocious.
"Where is that kid now? Why didn't you stop him?!"
The three or four military academies under his command all lowered their heads.
Who dares to stop this?
As soon as they stopped him, Xiahou Zijiang would definitely take action without hesitation. So should they lie down and accept the kick, or should they turn around and run away?
If you lie down and accept the kick, what if Xiahou Zijiang's people can't hold back, then those guys will apologize and spend some money to issue a letter of understanding?
If you turn around and run away, maybe it will be considered a dereliction of duty, and even the official will be raped by then?
As for fighting back, that is even more impossible. If it fails, it will be judged as a fight. Who will suffer the loss then?
In fact, if you look at the Qin Code and the Han Code, subtle differences have already emerged.
There is a saying in the Book of Changes: "To defeat the Mongols, it will be disadvantageous for the invaders, but it will be beneficial for them to resist the invaders." It talks about the bravery of justice. During the Qin Dynasty, clear rewards were given to the bravery of justice. For example, those who turned the thief to the government on the spot would receive the thief's treasure.
All money; those who capture and bring fugitives back will receive corresponding financial rewards, etc. Moreover, the Qin Dynasty also stipulated how to deal with acts that are not courageous in the face of justice.
If you don’t help, if you can compete in a hundred steps, you will be the second best."
In the Han Dynasty, the scope was greatly narrowed, from "Hundred Steps" to only "Five Neighbors".
In the later feudal dynasties, it was further narrowed, and it was even changed from the same crime to "reduced" corporal punishment, and then the scope was further reduced, and it became "knowing but not saving" before you should be punished.
In the feudal dynasty, the power of local police officers was relatively small, so many times they waited until the crime had been committed before the officials came out to wash the land. In order to ensure the strength of the rule, the people were allowed to act bravely. In the later period of the feudal dynasty,
With the increase in the number of government personnel, more and more people only eat and do not work. Naturally, they feel that the people are difficult to manage, and they dislike the people's use of violence to resist.
Throughout the evolution of the feudal dynasty, the standard of civil righteousness for the people was gradually lowered, the scope was also reduced step by step, and restrictions were strengthened step by step, which actually showed that the feudal dynasty was further oppressing from all aspects.
These changes in the people, especially the law, also reveal that the rulers hope that the people will not resist as much as possible when facing evil deeds. The purpose of deliberately setting various harsh conditions is to make the people best like sheep.
Those who only know how to escape and not resist.
Even in the feudal dynasty, the victim had to pay money, apologize, kowtow and confess to the powerful perpetrator, in order to teach the rest of the people a lesson and see if they would dare to resist next time!
Therefore, when Xiahou Zijiang used violence, who dared to move?
Xia Houshang looked at these military schools and understood what was going on. He said angrily: "This is really a child's nonsense!"
All the military academies lowered their heads, their eyebrows twitching secretly, and couldn't help but feel lucky. It was indeed the case, and luckily they didn't stop him.
Disobeying orders in the army, opening camp gates privately, going out without orders, and taking people away with others, no matter which one you commit, is a capital crime!
But in Xia Houshang's words, it turned out to be "a child making nonsense"!
If he really went up to stop him, wouldn't it just be like arguing with a "child"?
Xiahou Shang's anger rose. He turned around and looked at the three or four military academies with cold eyes. His tone was cold and he said, "Children are impulsive! You are also fooling around! This is the son of General Xiahou! If something goes wrong, let me
How to explain to the general!』
All the military academies lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word. It was really a saying that they didn't know whether to use it as an oar or not as a starch. Well, this time, they suddenly changed from "children" to "explaining"!
If you want to govern the country in accordance with the law, then it doesn't matter whether you are a general or an ordinary person. If you break the law, you have broken the law. How can you say that there is a difference in treatment? What's more, this is not a general, but the general's child! The result is obvious to Xiahou Zijiang
It was a mistake, a violation of military discipline, but it turned into how to explain to General Xiahou Dun!
But from the perspective of the feudal dynasty, there is nothing wrong with doing so. After all, under class rule, the upper-class figures in the feudal dynasty do enjoy various specialties, and naturally they cannot share the same law with the so-called ordinary people, let alone
It's just a violation of military law. Even if there is any suspicion of a heinous crime, it can still be classified as a "momentary offense" or "ignorance" in the feudal dynasty, and then the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter.
Xiahou Shang was still angry, "General Xiahou personally handed over the child to us! But you just watched like this and did nothing?! Huh?! If Xiahou Zijiang had a shortcoming, wouldn't you all risk your lives?"
?!』
Hearing this, all the military schools almost burst into tears!
this……
This is too unreasonable!
But the feudal dynasty is so unreasonable! Can it still be called a feudal dynasty if it is unreasonable?
Xiahou Shang's remarks, which were obviously intended to shirk the blame, immediately made all the military schools unable to hold back. If Xiahou Shang were allowed to continue speaking like this, there was no telling when Xiahou Zijiang would have no problems at all, and all the rest would be these.
The military academy’s fault!
have a look!
Forcing a good child to be like this!
Even good children become depressed!
The children are fine at home, why is it like this when they arrive in Youbei?!
Such and such.
Xia Houshang's extremely cold and stern tone made all the military academies start to distinguish, and they didn't want to take the blame.
"This is Shao Langjun. He said that it has nothing to do with the Xiahou family's face and future plans. He also said that Xiahou cannot be allowed to stay behind and lose face... That's why he didn't stop Shao Langjun..."
"Young Master Shao Lang also brought his men, who are all warriors of the Xiahou family. Even if they can't achieve any military exploits, self-protection should be fine... So that's what we thought before we came to report..."
"If the general feels something is wrong, please give the general's order. We will order our troops and horses to go out to meet Mr. Shaolang now..."
Xia Houshang could no longer calm down and turned around in circles with his hands behind his back.
Xiahou Zang died, and if Xiahou Zijiang died again, let’s not say whose fault it was, and leave aside the facts, how sad would General Xiahou Dun be?
General Xiahou Dun fought on the battlefield with blood and sweat for the sake of the Han Dynasty and Prime Minister Cao. He, Xiahou Shang, could be defeated, could go his own way, and even imprisoned Xiahou Zijiang in place of General Xiahou Dun. It was okay, but there was only one thing.
Xiahou Zijiang’s safety must be guaranteed!
Now Xiahou Zijiang runs out, just in case...
In his anxiety, Xiahou Shang almost yelled, "What's the Xiahou family's face? If something goes wrong with Young Master, it will really be called losing face! This outdoor training was originally just for Young Master to experience it, to lay a foundation to some extent.
!As for the military merits and battle honors, how could he be missing after a hearty victory! And why bother to do it personally? He really... This child has experienced too few setbacks! 』
"Even if he has guards around him, what does that mean? It's not that I underestimate the martial prowess of Xiahou's disciples, but if I really encounter the horses from the Hussars... Even I need to be careful, let alone him."
Half-assed?! If something goes wrong accidentally, how will you explain it to General Xiahou then!』
"Now if we order troops to leave the camp, what will General Cao do? Not to mention where to find it! Everyone has dispersed. There are so many supplies in the camp. If there is another mistake, we will lose our lives."
Bao! General Cao's surname is not Xiahou... No! General Cao is a master of military law!"
Xia Houshang yelled angrily and danced. He was obviously confused and his words and deeds were abnormal.
This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. It's really a dilemma.
The military academies looked at each other, but they all knelt on the ground and confessed to guilt. What else could be said? Wouldn't it be suspected of contradicting their superiors if they continued to argue? Besides, they really didn't have any good way to solve this problem.
"Damn it! Where did this kid go?"
……(*≧∪≦)……
Deep in the desert, this land has been shrouded in the shadow of war and soaked in blood since the day recorded in history books.
From the early Beirong, then became the Xiongnu, to the later Xianbei and Wuhuan, and then to the later Turks, Rouran, Uighurs, Xi, Khitan, Jurchen and so on...
It is difficult to say whether these desert peoples who have emerged one after another have their own evolution path of development, growth, aging and demise, and whether they have inherited the light of civilization between their successive emergences. But one thing is certain, these desert peoples
Once the nations among them rise, they will turn their wolf-like eyes to the Central Plains, peeping at the Central Plains farming civilization that they covet.
And these are only the large tribes or tribal alliances whose names have been recorded in history. In the long years, there are still those who have not been recorded in the history books and have been swept away by the great integration of ethnic groups on these grasslands.
Small tribes and small nations.
Perhaps these people in the desert have various excuses and reasons for natural and man-made disasters, but they are not like the farming people of the Central Plains who have to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters by themselves. Instead, they will reveal their greed under these excuses and reasons.
With a beautiful face, he rode a horse, raised his knife, and headed south, south...
However, as history has proven countless times, bloody killings can never bring about true surrender.
In front of the butcher knives of these nomadic peoples in the grassland and desert, the farming people of the Central Plains and China may be silent or forbearing, but they will never forget their hatred and resistance. Starting from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it continued to the subsequent feudal dynasties.
, these memories are left in the history books. Even if these nomads tamper with them several times and burn the original manuscripts of the history books, they will not let the blood dissipate and the pain disappear.
Now, the battle in the desert has just come to an end and is far from the end.
As shown by a beacon tower and a small military camp standing in front of Zhang He, the moment of calm is just a temporary pause in the long river of war in the desert.
Or maybe it's a sign.
This is like a landmark.
A tentacle of the Hussars Northern Territory Army penetrating deep into the desert.
People who are impatient often cannot achieve great things.
Irritated, reckless, and always willing to do whatever they can't do. People with this kind of personality were the thugs of tribal leaders in ancient times. These people were often the first to die. It is really not easy to pass on their DNA by being able to slip through the net.
It has been quite some time since Zhang He last patrolled here.
The military stronghold was built with civil structures. Since wood is more scarce in the desert, soil, or soil and cement, is actually its main component.
The rammed earth and soil-cement layers on the exterior walls seem to have fallen off a bit under the attack of wind and frost, and there are some cracks, but overall there are no major problems.
There is a team of men and horses stationed here all year round. Each team is five thousand, plus some miscellaneous soldiers and so on, about seventy or eighty people. In the military stronghold, there are command posts, barracks, warehouses, arsenals, and wells.
Hay sheds and stables.
On the high platform of the military village, under the wooden canopy, there is a crossbow on one side and one on the right. The huge crossbows are stacked on top of each other. Because they were not taken care of in time, they are slightly rusty, like
It's like it's stained with some old blood.
Zhang He stood on the high platform of the military camp, silent and looking out.
Looking around, you can see everything within a radius of more than ten miles.
Except for a small hill here in Junzhai, the rest is desert grassland.
The north wind drives the clouds, like herdsmen driving their sheep, moving slowly across the blue sky.
On the Han side, it became a strip of indigo as far as the eye can see.
Zhang He led a team of men to patrol here an hour ago.
Every once in a while, he and Gan Feng would lead people to conduct an inspection, and the inspection points would be these military villages scattered in the desert.
In the past few days, Zhang He has walked through several military strongholds one after another, and this is the farthest military stronghold, and it is also the beginning of his return journey. Of course, the direction of going back is different from the direction of coming, which is equivalent to
Make a big circle in the desert.
This time we went on a cruise and the traffic conditions on the roads were better than last time.
Although there is no need to build permanent hard roads in the desert, during the last training session at Changshan Camp, with the cooperation of soldiers and craftsmen accompanying the army, a general road network was built. The largest
The improvement is that a lot of signs along the road have been added, which can reduce some time of finding roads and directions.
The desert seems to be changing little by little.
Zhang He stayed on the high platform for a while, then got off the high platform, and walked around the barracks of ordinary soldiers, checking the beds and beddings where the soldiers slept, and then returned to the command post in the military camp.
.
The team leaders in the military camp have been silently following Zhang He.
This military leader's surname is Shi. It is said that he was originally from Qingzhou. He fled during the chaos in Qingzhou. The leader has a scar on his face and half of his ring finger and little finger on his left hand. It is said that he was frozen on the road when he was fleeing.
It was broken and rotten. So he was also called Shi Bazhi.
Shi Bazhi felt that he was a tough man. When he met the Yellow Turban bandits, he was not able to join the army at that time. He fought with the armed Yellow Turban thieves and was slashed in the face with a knife. However, Shi Bazhi also used wood.
Stab the yellow turban thief to death...
Shi Bazhi did not follow him until he arrived at the command post and said: "General, our place is remote and windy and sandy, and there is not much good food. We only have some coarse grains, pickled vegetables, dried mushrooms, salted fish and the like. I hope you will forgive me, General..."
…』
The command post was actually Shi Bazhi's residence. There was a table at the top, a tattered mat underneath, and a tattered screen in the middle. Behind it was his sleeping place.
It is bitterly cold in the desert, so there is a fire pit in the middle of the command post house. It can be used for heating, daily cooking, or boiling water. If it is called a more elegant way, it can also be called a fire pit.
Words and so on, but the houses in this era were not tightly structured, mostly made of wood, with large gaps, so there was no need to consider carbon monoxide poisoning, but the houses in later generations were different...
Zhang He didn't take it seriously. He didn't come to Junzhai to catch the autumn breeze. But when he heard that these were the only things left in the Junzhai, there was no dried meat or other meat. He couldn't help but frowned, "This is the dried meat allotment."
Salty preserved meat, you finished eating it so quickly? I remember the last delivery was just over a month ago?」
Shi Bazhi lowered his head and said: "I dare not hide it from the general. I exchanged the dried meat and other things for some lambs and asked the shepherds in the north to help raise them... I will eat the dried meat, but the lambs
When they are raised, they will become big sheep in winter, and they can also give birth to lambs..."
Zhang He laughed and said, "You have calculated this well! But aren't you afraid that the shepherds will just kidnap your sheep and run away?"
When Zhang He was on the high platform before, he had already seen traces of some herdsmen's tents in the distance to the north. There were not many tents, only five or six tents, and the total number of tents was about twenty or thirty people. Originally, Zhang He
I thought they were just sporadic herdsmen, but I didn't expect them to be involved with the military camp in this way.
Shi Bazhi said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Isn't this... there are so many mouths waiting to eat in the military camp. If you really want to eat this dried meat, it will be finished in one meal. If it were replaced by a lamb,
When raised in winter, it will turn into a big sheep. If you kill one, the whole army village can eat deliciously for three days! On the first day, you drink soup and soak the haggis in pancakes. On the second day, you eat some bones and meat with mixed vegetables.
On the third day, everyone can still share a piece of meat... This year has been a bit more enjoyable... These shepherds have been here in the past years and are familiar with them. Moreover, their pastures to the north have been affected. If they want to run away, they can still
Where to run?』
Zhang He pointed at Shi Bazhi, not knowing what to say for a moment...
