Chapter 3441 Seeking to Live in Death
Although the land in Hedong is not as rich as that in Yuzhou and Jizhou, since the Heluo chaos, it has followed Fei Qian to gain a wave of dividends, so it is quite good.
Unfortunately, after Cao's army came, burned, killed, looted, and made the land in Hedong seem somewhat broken.
Some forts outside Anyi were also burned down, leaving behind some broken walls.
Then someone formed temporary camps in these broken walls.
The so-called camp, in fact, should be considered as refugee sheds and land nests.
The serious refugee diversion camp of the Cavalry Army was built on the Emei Plateau, and Anyi is at most a transit station.
The current situation around Anyi is very complicated. On the one hand, the city damaged by the war is to be built, the corpses inside and outside the city are to be dealt with, and on the other hand, after the Cao army's Anyi camp was captured, many Cao army soldiers fled to the surrounding area.
That's why this kind of temporary, transit camp was found.
Every day, some people will be added, and some people will be diverted.
Strictly speaking, this temporary camp is more like an isolation area.
Without confirming the identity or clear ownership, these refugees will stay here until they finally determine their future destination...
Every day, Hussar soldiers escorted the grain to the temporary camps and cooked and distributed.
One meal a day.
Some people will also come to recruit labor, repair damaged buildings around the area, or reclaim land, so that they can get more rewards, usually converted into food.
There is no problem with this arrangement, but it is always easier for people to create chaos than to create order.
Although some Hussar soldiers came back from time to time to patrol the camp and then regulated hygiene and control order, the number of Hussar soldiers was not large and far away from the Anyi County. It would be good if these Hussar soldiers could come one day.
These refugees will not stay here for long, and will be diverted one after another before this winter comes, so most people will not have any sense of belonging to this camp. They are all in charge of their own affairs...
In the camp, people used various materials to clean up dilapidated land nests and gathered together in a mess to cover up the wind and rain.
There was no decent fence around the camp, so I simply dug a trench that was neither wide nor deep, erected some wood pieces and branches, and drew a circle and set up the territory.
In these big and small rag camps, there are all kinds of people, including men and women, with their faces and dishes, and they are ragged and worn. In order to resist the cold, all kinds of rags are covered with rags.
Is it bitter?
really.
However, it is not realistic to make these refugees have the same living standards as normal people at once.
Xun Chen began to sort out and promote the new policy in Anyi. Although the gentry and gentry who were dissatisfied with the new policy would not resist on the surface, they did not dare to do anything random. After all, the heads of those guys who had dared to make small moves secretly were still hung on the head of the city of Anyi.
However, this does not mean that these people are completely convinced.
Just like in later generations, even if the new country has been established for a hundred years, there are still a large group of old and young people who are still wailing and sighing, secretly yelling and insulting and giving advice, and saying that it is the purpose of promoting traditional culture on the spot. In fact, everyone knows what it is for.
For these gentry members, it would be great if they could not make trouble, and it would be unlikely that they would take the initiative to help Xun Chen resettle these refugees. They could not say that they were still watching coldly, preparing to see when Xun Chen could not stand it or make some jokes, so that they could show their noble talents, and that the new policy would harm the country and the people...
Therefore, everything is done by the cavalry. It is already very good that the Hedong gentry can stop it without making trouble.
The above sums up, which makes these temporary camps around Anyi, like slums, have some order, but not completely orderly.
The traffic of people is very large, resulting in many things being messy.
It is difficult to regulate, after all, they are not fixed-living.
In the temporary camp, the woman cried and shouted, quarreled and verbally quarreled and verified about trivial matters, and there were all kinds of sounds. Among these sounds, there was a place that seemed particularly quiet.
There are also some places in the camp that will be better.
For example, places with higher terrain, dryer, or even more walls are all good places.
These good places are not used to care for widows, widows, orphans, but are occupied by some men.
Today in this place, these men looked deep, stood outside, with their hands in their arms, and were eyeing every guy who dared to get close to them, as if they were going to pull out their short blade to kill people in the next moment.
Because today, a "guest" came here...
These men are actually deserters of Cao's army.
Because they are deserters, they still carry some short weapons, and there is no family burden, and there is a little organizational system between them, so it is easy to get a good place among refugees.
Since Cao's army marched into Hedong, it has lost its troops, but only about one-quarter of the soldiers who died directly on the battlefield were less than one-third. Most of the other Cao's soldiers who lost their ranks either fled to the mountains or pretended to be refugees.
"You will be found sooner or later!" The guest said bluntly, "The investigation has begun. Although it is only in the city and around the city, it will be found here soon. At that time, you will either have to escape again or be arrested and sent to labor camps, dig mines for life, and knock stones for life."
"So, are you here to threaten us?" said the small temporary deserter leader in the camp.
"No, it's exactly the opposite." The guest said with a smile, "I'm here to give you a clear way..."
...
...
Xiahou Dun looked up slightly at the three-color flag in front of him, with a look of neither sad nor happy on his face.
Since Cao Xiu came, Xiahou Dun's cooperation seemed to have improved a lot. He was willing to go out with the Cavalry every day. Although he didn't say much, just walking around could make the surrendered Cao's military academy feel much more at ease.
Xiahou Dun saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
It is indeed as Cao Xiu said, it is too difficult to find some "suitable" people in the city.
In addition, Xiahou Dun was wearing a general's armor, but only armor, but no swords and guns.
The same is true for Cao Xiu, so in order to cause trouble, in addition to people, we also need swords and guns.
And it is difficult to get swords, guns and arrows in the city.
Only seek outside...
Fei Qian left Anyi, which was a good opportunity.
As Cao Cao's deputy, Xiahou Dun never thought of bowing his head under others.
Many years ago, before Cao Cao even raised the incident, although the Xiahou family was still quite famous in the local area, if it were put into the Han Dynasty, who would know the word Xiahou?
It was Cao Cao who made Xiahou!
And these surrendered Cao Jun Military Academy...
Xiahou narrowed his eyes and looked over coldly, as if he was looking at a livestock instead of a person.
The surrendered Cao soldiers near the city saw Xiahou Dun coming out and chattered and told each other.
『It's out! General Xiahou is out again!』
『It looks pretty good...』
"That's right, eating well and sleeping well, and not having to work hard, can it be better?"
"Look at how good people are, they are not like us..."
"Shut up, you have taken a lot of cakes when you eat them, and now you say this again!"
"Can't you talk about it yet?"
"What official do you think the cavalry will give General Xiahou?"
『Who knows? It will definitely not be small...』
Everyone was talking about Xiahou on the surface, but in fact everyone knew that they were talking about themselves.
Except for a small number of people, most of the Cao army are ordinary people.
Ordinary people naturally like stability, rather than troubled times.
But these ordinary Cao's surrendered soldiers did not know that they thought they were just thinking, and in a place where they could not see, a storm was brewing.
Xiahou initially felt that Cao Xiu's plan could not be successful, so he did not agree with it.
However, what Cao Xiu said made Xiahou Dun agree in the end, and even gave Cao Xiu a few names...
That was in Hedong, and the names of some Hedong gentry who were more inclined to the Cao army.
...
...
Some time ago, Anyi had already begun to gather military supplies and transfers, and the traces of war in and outside the city were gradually sorted out, and the three-color flags were flying high above the city.
For most people, being able to eat a bowl of rice safely is happiness.
As for who is the leader and who is the commander, many times they start to look at their own jobs and vote.
If you have something to eat, it’s good, but if you don’t eat, it’s bad.
Even if the cavalry is talking about the vast expanse, even if the soldiers and horses are strong everywhere, if there is no food, then let's not mention everything.
What Cao Xiu is targeting is on the one hand these military supplies, but on the other hand...
Burning these military supplies will cause chaos in the cavalry army!
However, these military supplies must be a key precaution and it is absolutely impossible to get in touch with them casually, so naturally we need to find another way...
And the only way is to make a name for yourself!
Cao Xiu also knew that his plan was not so easy to succeed, and it could even be said that there were many mistakes, but what does it matter?
It's just a death!
Originally, I wanted to assassinate the Cavalry, but now the Cavalry is heading south...
However, if you change the target to food and grass, the effect will definitely be very good!
How could there be a hero in the world?
More importantly, Cao's family can't just surrender!
During the war, treating surrendered soldiers and generals has always been a very important issue.
If handled well, it will be easy to develop in the future, and more and more people will choose to surrender. However, once there is a problem in the middle, neither Fei Qian nor Cao's side will be affected.
Even if it dies because of this.
Cao Xiu glanced out the window.
There are still Hussar soldiers on duty outside the window.
It is said that it is convenient to take care of nearby areas and is easy to deal with if you have any needs, but in fact it is just surveillance.
However, this surveillance can only be to monitor one person, or to monitor a few key figures. How could it be possible for Cao's army to monitor all military academies?
Therefore, Cao Xiu and Xiahou Dun both appeared to be obedient.
This is not too difficult.
Whether it is Xiahou Dun or Cao Xiu, what should I eat and let my guards go out to buy, I can't say it's not possible. Let's deliver takeout? Can you send someone to follow me once or twice, three or five times?
It is not difficult to stare at Xiahou Dun and Cao Xiu, etc., but it is really not easy to even stare at the small head.
Historical experience tells future generations that many officials have problems because they are not optimistic about the little head...
If it can be successful, then even Xiahou Dun will pick him up and go straight to Taihang Mountains.
If it cannot be...
Cao Xiu's eyes gradually declined.
Cao Xiu also wanted to live, after all, his child was still young and had not seen his grandson yet.
In China, Yan's son probably has the habit of spoiling his grandson, so Cao Xiu was quite strict with Cao Zhao.
This made Cao Zhao not like Cao Xiu very much.
Cao Xiu also knew that if he didn't care about his studies all day and took Cao Zhao to eat, drink, and travel around, then Cao Zhao would definitely like to be with him.
But……
Isn’t it a happy thing to have parents nagging and urging their studies?
Cao Xiu looked up at the sky.
How he wished he could still hear his parents' nagging or scolding...
Now, there is only his own gentle sigh around him, but he can no longer hear his parents' nagging.
Will Cao Zhao feel happy when he dies? He feels that he will not have to listen to his nagging and accusations from now on?
Cao Xiu smiled slightly with a self-deprecating smile.
Then they gradually put away all the love between these children.
Although I have ambition to die, it is not really just a blind pursuit of death!
On the battlefield, seeking to live in death is a common thing!
Cao Xiu exhaled, then looked at the beams and pillars in the room.
It’s late autumn now, and the weather is dry!
...
...
Night falls.
In the hall in the temple in Anyi City, there are important military generals of the cavalry army sitting around.
The fire was shaking around, and there were many soldiers on duty standing in the surrounding corridors, which made the military academies attending the meeting feel a little strange atmosphere.
Xun Chen was wearing a blue shirt and sat on his head, looking around for a while. "Although the Pei family is attached to this place in Hedong, there are many powerful people, and the rest may not return to their hearts. The lord led his troops south, and some people were worried."
"The lord entrusted you and me to the land of Hedong. If this place is in chaos, losing face is a small matter, and it will be a big mistake for the lord, then it will be a waste of death!"
When Xun Chen said this, his face was still smiling, but his voice was filled with coldness, which made the military academies present feel trembling. He immediately sat upright and his waist stood up.
"I know, you are all veterans on the battlefield..." Xun Chen looked around and still smiled, "And he is just a weak scholar. He has never led his troops to kill the enemy, nor has he made any contribution to conquering the city and territory. However, since it is the lord who ordered the affairs of Hedong to be fully handled... Even if you don't value me, it depends on the lord... Is this true?!"
Xun Chen said that it seemed like he was joking, but everyone knew that this was not funny.
Cheng Yun and Li Er hurriedly said that Xun Chen would follow any instructions.
Other military academies also quickly agreed.
Xun Chen said these words because these people are more or less lazy...
Cheng Yun and Li Er have both retired and have been recruited for the second time. Many of them are veterans under him. They are not considered the main force in the front line, but they are also somewhat of the backbone force in the second line.
But people are like this, and the old man’s faults will not be missing in that place and industry.
If the cavalry is at a disadvantage, these people will be a little more nervous.
Now that Fei Qian has the advantage, I will inevitably have some sweat and blood. Now I am about to win. Shouldn’t it be to relax and enjoy it?
Xun Chen glanced at Li Er.
Li Er also nodded to Xun Chen, his face slightly stiff.
He was drinking yesterday, I wonder if Xun Chen knew about it...
Xun Chen has glanced at other people.
These people are casual, gamblers, and greedy for money and cups, and all kinds of bad habits.
After all, there was no psychological counseling among the Han Dynasty. After the war, many of the stress reactions after the war were expressed through these more stimulating behaviors.
Xun Chen did not understand what post-war syndrome is, but he knew that veterans who had accumulated a lot of military troubles. Fei Qian could bring them wealth and prosperity and show their lifelong ambitions, so he naturally had loyalty to Fei Qian, but he might not have respected others in general.
The gap between civil and military officials is not that Xun Chen rode on a horse, wandered around the military formation for a few days, and led the team for a few days, and then it could be considered to be eliminated.
There is a set of recognition among soldiers and soldiers.
Xun Chen doesn't need them to be loyal to himself like a loyal cavalry, but just hopes that they won't lose their links at this time, which will affect the overall situation.
After these people whispered and gradually became silent, Xun Chen said slowly: "You have a great responsibility. There are not only refugees around Anyi, but also Cao's army surrendered. If you are not careful, there will be chaos..."
Cheng Yun and Li Er suddenly became furious.
The rest of the people were also in an uproar.
"The envoy's intention is someone who wants to rebel?" Cheng Yun asked.
Li Er said murderously, "Since that's the case, why not stop before it starts? I see that these Cao's surrendered soldiers are all thieves. Instead of worrying about chaos, it's better to just...well?"
The scene suddenly became a little confused. Some people agreed with Li Er, saying that the killing was clean and easy, while others expressed their disagreement, saying that the surrendered soldiers may not be tyrants, and they had done a lot of work to persuade surrender and decompose the situation before. Now this killing is so simple, but isn’t it equivalent to the fact that the previous things were done in vain?
The two sides argued for a while, then stopped and looked at Xun Chen.
