Chapter 3198 Tongguan Road in the mountains and rivers
In the night, Zhang Xiu gently knocked on the belly of the war horse. With the neighing sound, he ran out first.
Behind Zhang Xiu, teams of cavalrymen ran out from Baibo Valley and headed south.
Zhang Xiu lay on the horse's back, and his mood seemed to jump with the ups and downs of the war horse.
He closed his eyes and let the cold wind blow his face, enjoying the fun of running freely comfortably.
For the people who are short of food and clothing, this cold is life-threatening, but for Zhang Xiu, who has been in a cool place, especially in the Yinshan area for a long time, the current wind and snow are basically like drizzle.
Zhang Xiu was very excited. He sat on the war horse and was full of energy. After staying in Baibo Valley for a long time, Zhang Xiu felt as if his limbs were rusted. Now he rushed out of the valley and headed straight to the south. He felt that the world was wide and the world was wide. He was suddenly relaxed and happy, and he wished he could just ride his horse to the horizon!
The land of Hedong is Feiqian's nest.
Long before Fei Qian entered Guanzhong, he had been continuously broadening and repairing the official roads in Hedong.
The official road paved with slag and stone slabs is both flat and not easy to damage. Now, even when you are running at night, you don’t have to worry about not seeing the road rushing into the ditch.
The vanguard in front blew a short whistle when turning, reminding the cavalry behind to pay attention.
This is also a habit that Hussar cavalry has trained for many years.
A short whistle sounded to remind you to pay attention.
Those who follow behind will respond with a short whistle, and will also remind the cavalry who will be in the future to pay attention...
After all, at night, not everyone has such good vision and can see the flag recognition on the distant cavalry, so using copper whistles to determine some simple matters has become the general standard for Hussar cavalry at night.
This point comes from the evolution and development of the Hu people's Niuke.
Originally, the Han people used the golden drum flag as the horn, while the Hu people used the horn, but it was obvious that although the golden drum flag could convey more instructions than the horn, it was also very limited. If the sight was a little bad or the light was insufficient, the flag would often lose its effectiveness.
Fei Qian didn't think there was any problem with using some things from Hu people or improving some Hu people's equipment habits, nor did he have any mental cleanliness because it was originally derived from Hu people.
Not only copper whistles, but also soldiers, armor and leather robes, Fei Qian has always had a consistent attitude. As long as it is easy to use, it will be used.
It does not mean that China has everything and is arrogant, nor does it mean that China lacks it because of the Hu people. This was originally the most excellent custom in China. It started from the Hu clothing and horse shooting in the Warring States Period and continued until the Tang Dynasty...
Later, Song and Ming Dynasty lost themselves in the vast land and vast land. By the Qing Dynasty, they were often in the Celestial Kingdom, and then they were blasted to open the country by a group of "barbarians".
China, which has been integrated, developed, expanded since ancient times, has stopped, is like a cavalry that stops running, which will lose its vitality and combat effectiveness.
"Yohe! The cavalry won thousands of victories!"
Zhang Xiu shouted loudly, showing his happiness.
『Yuhu…』
『A thousand victories!』
The cavalry in front also responded, slapped the shield and made rhythmic sounds.
Zhang Xiu laughed.
The sound of horse hooves became more and more neat and louder, and finally turned into roars.
Rolling past the land in Hedong, heading south.
...
...
People from Shandong like to talk about the people's hearts the most.
People's hearts and opinions.
In some ways, what they say also makes sense.
The people of the Han Dynasty have long had an inseparable emotion towards the emperor and the entire world of the Han Dynasty.
It's like marriage.
When facing scumbags or scumbags, it is impossible to immediately be like some keyboard warriors, killing and destroying the whole family with just a glare...
Of course, I like to kill and make decisions because the world has suffered for a long time. This "Holy Mother" does not exist only in novels, but the moral kidnapping in reality makes people painful.
Just like the current time of the great man, there are still many "Holy Mother".
Be patient, suffer, and persevere again...
Although the Han people and the Han people were still unable to get rid of these pains, they would become more and more silent.
At the beginning, when the Han people encountered injustice or difficulties, they would go to officials to communicate, because the Han people still held hope, still had confidence in the officials, and also had great trust in the Han government.
But now, the Han people will not go to the officials of the government, and will no longer say anything complaining, but will become more and more silent.
Because, I gave up.
If you give up, you feel that saying one more thing is unnecessary. Even when facing injustice and suffering, you won’t say it anymore. It’s not that these people have stronger endurance, but that these Han people know that it’s useless to say it, and no one will care about it. It’s just that they say it. So the Han people would rather bear it silently than say another word.
Because the hearts of the Han people were no longer on the same channel as the officials of the Han Dynasty, and they could not speak together.
Becoming silent does not appear suddenly, but a disappointment accumulated day after day. When the disappointment reaches a certain level, you can only deal with it with silence.
So why can you continue to be together when you are disappointed?
It may be just for the family and children, or it may be that you have not encountered a better way out yet, or you are accumulating the courage to leave.
In short, when the Han people became more and more silent, the Han officials thought they were very great. When pressing the lid, they felt that they could not hear the sound, and when they felt that the surroundings were quiet and comfortable, it was often not a good thing.
After silence, he becomes like a stranger.
Faced with scumbags who keep making promises and making mistakes, there is always a process from hope to disappointment, from complaining to silence.
The Han people will also be the same for the Han courts and the Emperor of Han. What will happen to the Han people in the future, what will the emperor, and what will the officials, the Han people will gradually no longer care about it, and will no longer pay attention to it, just like looking at strangers.
If the people had asked before, they would ask what the Han emperor was like, which official was good, and which official was not good. But later because there were too many bad things and too many questions, the officials simply forbidden the people from talking, saying that there was an order from the superiors and prohibited the discussion!
So, the Han people nowadays stopped talking.
What will happen to the Han Dynasty in the future, who are the local officials, and what have they done, I am too lazy to know and too lazy to ask about it.
Even the good or bad of officials is no longer evaluated, because the Han people know that there is no worst, the most greedy, only worse, and even more greedy. In the past, if you greedy for 100,000, you will be wide open, but now you don’t have tens of millions or hundreds of millions, you will feel that it’s less...
When the Han people were silent and ignored the Han court, it was not how good the Han people became, nor how sensible the Han people were, but the Han and the officials of the Han people became less important to the Han people.
Who would be willing to spend time and energy to pay attention to people or things that are not important?
...
...
"The cavalry is here!"
When the cavalry and horses roared and rushed over, the Cao army and civilians in Yi County were stunned, and then they scattered in a blink of an eye!
The Hussar cavalry roared and rushed by, circled around Yi County for a half-way circle, ignoring the scattered and fleeing civilians, and then went straight to the Cao army's front line behind.
Cao Junmin and his husband stood in a daze. He seemed to be frightened, but in fact, his soul seemed to be awakened bit by bit in the midst of the thunder.
The horse's hooves were like thunder, and the sound shook the whole field.
The Cao army soldiers who were arrogant and blessed by the civilians did not expect that the cavalry and horses would suddenly appear near the neighboring place, and they were already in chaos.
『Rumbling...』
Shi Tou felt a low roar in his ears, and then he found that he could finally feel the surroundings again, the sound, the wind and the cold, and his limbs.
It was like spring thunder rolling by, and something under the soil layer rustled open the soil layer covering the top of the head, then climbed up and breathed in fresh air.
Everything seems a little different...
He looked up from the chaos and saw the three-color flag floating by.
That is a completely different banner from the Han Dynasty.
"It's all caused by Guanzhong people..."
What Lao Jiao said flashed through his heart again.
Where is the old stove?
He looked around in a daze, and then he remembered that Lao Jiaotou had been killed, and was killed by those who were not "harmful".
Afterwards, the loud shouts of the former chiefs of Cao's army's soldiers sounded in his ears-
"One person is lazy, the whole team will be punished!"
"I would rather work until death than rest for a moment!"
"As long as you are not exhausted, you have to continue working!"
"Working hard for a hundred days will create another glory for the Han Dynasty!"
"It would rather flow into a river than escape alone!"
『…』
Shi Tou looked back and found that the soldiers of Cao Jun who were shouting slogans were also shouting at this moment—
『Oh my god...』
"Don't come over..."
Then a small team of cavalry and horses rushed over, and then the Cao army soldiers fell down, and the rest fled in scattered their armor and abandoned their armor.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Shi Tou stood, dazed, and now no one ordered him, scolded him or insulted him, instead he didn't know what he was going to do.
He slowly stepped out his legs and walked forward subconsciously, but did not realize that what he followed was no longer the original flag of the Han Dynasty, but the three-color flag flying in the air.
『Save...Save me...』
Suddenly, Shitou heard someone moaning and asking for help.
When he lowered his head, he suddenly saw the auxiliary soldier who had beaten him with a stick and insulted him.
He was the one who was full of flesh and fierce, and every day he opened his mouth, he had orders on his head, and kept silent, he represented the assistant soldier of the great man.
The auxiliary soldier seemed to be injured by the cavalry and horse. He fell to the ground, his arms twisted and his face was covered with blood.
Just like that day, the stones were covered in blood.
『Come here to save me...』 The assistant soldier seemed to see the stone, 『I, I order you...』
The stone stood there for a while, then began to lower his head and look around.
He saw the dark red stick.
He walked over, picked up the stick, and then walked to the fallen auxiliary soldier.
"What do you want...what do you want?!" Auxiliary Bingshi widened his eyes, "I, I represent the court...represents the great man, I...aaaa...don't hit me...don't hit me...don't hit me...
Shi Tou suddenly realized that he was not weak.
He is actually very strong.
Blood splattered, splashing on the stone's face.
This time, Shi Tou felt that this blood...
Very hot.
From the face, it has been burning to the heart.
...
...
"Stop the troops!" Zhang Xiu shook the blood from the spear and said to the guard beside him, "Let the bastards who ran away come back! What a stingy ball, these bastards will have fun as soon as they are released!"
The guard laughed and thought to himself, and I didn't know who was the most excited...
"The scout was released twenty miles away! Others cleaned the battlefield!" Zhang Xiu looked around and jumped off the horse, then touched the war horse's neck, and laughed, "How about it, are you running happily?"
The war horse shook its neck, sniffed, and then arched into Zhang Xiu's arms.
"I know, I know..." Zhang Xiu said, while taking the water bag from the horse's back, he took a bite or two, then handed it to the mouth of the war horse, then took out a bag of fried beans, grabbed a handful and bit it, and also filled it into the mouth of the war horse.
"General!" the soldiers on the side asked, "What should those Cao soldiers and civilians do?"
"Mental husband?" Zhang Xiu looked up and saw a group of civil servants standing or sitting in Yi County, trembling in the cold wind.
"Do not care about them...well..." Zhang Xiu didn't want to care about these civil servants, but after he said halfway, he paused.
Zhang Xiu remembered what Fei Qian said to him before. If you want to be a good general, you must go on a horse and kill the enemy, and dismount and manage the people.
He is standing under the horse now.
『Tsk!』 Zhang Xiu frowned, 『Search first according to the refugee regulations! Then make arrangements!』
He doesn't like these trivial matters, but he also knows that some things are not based on their likes or dislikes, but should not be. Since they encounter them, they are based on him, then he should make a decision.
When the soldiers received the order, they quickly began to gather the civilians left by the Cao army...
Hussars were actually very accustomed to the fact that they had gathered refugees.
Over the years, they have gathered refugees from Bingzhou, refugees from Liangzhou, refugees from Heluo, Guanzhong, Jingzhou, and even refugees from Jizhou, Yuzhou...
And in the army, there are people from all regions.
"The injured platoon is here!"
"Stand there if you are not injured!"
Hussars stood among the crowd and commanded.
Cao Jun and civilians gradually began to line up, as if they had found their backbone.
Another Hussar was carrying a bag of dry food and shouting, "Who can cook? Who is the chef? Come out and help dig a stove and cook some hot soup for everyone!"
『Ah! Who can repair the skin?』
"Are there any carpenters? Are there any one who can hang barrels?"
『…』
The scene is still very chaotic, but this chaos seems to have a little more vitality and less dullness.
The stones were walking silently in the queue.
He was used to queuing.
Follow the butt of the person in front of him.
Move one step on the left leg, then the right leg…
"Hi!" Suddenly a Hussar soldier came to him and shouted, "You! Your face and hands are covered with blood, are you injured?"
『…』 Shi Tou raised his head blankly.
A soldier in armor stood in front of him.
Shi Tou shivered subconsciously.
Because among the Cao army, those who can wear armor are all the soldiers of the Cao army, or even the Cao army's top and above.
"I asked you, where is the blood on your face and body... injured?" asked the Hussar.
"I...I beat someone to death..." Shitou said. He never thought about lying, and he never lies. "There is the blood that belongs to him..."
The Hussar frowned slightly, "Who did you kill? Who was it?"
The Hussar said, waved his hand, as if he had issued an order to someone.
"It was the one who hit me... He hit me with a stick before, I... He was injured. On the ground, I hit him with a stick..." Shi Tou was still a little dazed and seemed a little dull. What he wanted to say was that he killed the auxiliary soldier of Cao's army. His face and body were stained with the blood of the auxiliary soldier. It was not his, but he didn't know how to make it clear, so he said it in a mess without any head and tail.
Shi Tou saw the Hussar's brows begin to frown.
He was familiar with this expression, and he thought to himself, it's broken, it's over, I'm going to die...
Another Hussar came over, carrying a few sticks of different lengths and materials in his hand, all stained with some blood.
"Come on, look, you beat it with that stick..."
Shi Tou lowered his head, looked at it, and pointed to the dark red short stick that originally belonged to the auxiliary soldier.
"Ha." The Hussar narrowed his eyes.
It was Shi Tou's first time in his life that he was afraid that the other party would regard him as a murderer, so he was a little confused and explained it in a hurry.
"He used to care about us... He also used this stick to kill my brother... and hit me again... I, I am..." Shi Tou stuttered, trying to make it clear about the relationship.
"Good one."
A big finger stood up in front of the stone.
"ah?"
Shi Tou was stunned.
No one has ever praised him...
Never.
Shi Tou stared at the thumb blankly, and then suddenly, he felt sore in his heart and his eyes were hot, "I...I...I...
"Little brother is so good! Hahaha, it's okay, I see that your old wounds on your face have not healed. Go there, yes, let the doctor show you..." The Hussar laughed, pulled the stone to another row, and then patted his shoulder, "You are so good!"
"I... am I good?" Shi Tou couldn't believe his ears.
The comments he had heard about him before were all untouchables, troublemakers, puppies, damn wastes, lowly mud legs, livestock who couldn't understand human words...
Why did he become a good person when he got here?
"What's your name?" asked the Hussar.
『I...my name is Shitou...』
"Don't have a daimyo?"
『No, everyone calls me Shi Tou…』
『Haha, many of us call Shi Tou!』 The Hussar smiled and took Shi Tou to another team, 『I used to have a friend named Shi Tou... All the ones called Shi Tou are good, they are good stones!"
