Fifteen miles north of Jiange, there is a small mountain village called Liujiazhai. This village is very small, with only five households and twenty people. Liujiazhai is far away from the main road, and a narrow winding path leads to the village. It is surrounded by mountains.
A small river flows by the village, and the river valley is the source of food for the twenty or so people in the village. The village is so small and isolated that it cannot be found on the map of Jiange County, so these twenty people do not need to pay for food.
There are no servants, it can be said to be a real-life version of the Peach Blossom Land.
Ten days ago, a group of people suddenly came to Liujiazhai. They were all strong young men. The leader was a middle-aged man with stern eyes. He had a beard on his face and looked at everyone with murderous eyes. Following the leader was another
An old man with white hair. He is not bad. Although he does not smile very much, he is very polite to others. Where do these people come from? What are they doing here? No one knows. These people rented a shabby warehouse in the village that was used to store grain.
The house never showed up again, and everything was done by the old man.
Lao Liu from Liujiazhai is responsible for delivering meals to these people every day. According to him, these people are very mysterious. They sleep in their rooms during the day and all go out at night. They don’t know what they are doing, and everyone is carrying weapons. Lao Liu also saw
, just last night some people dragged back a dead man. Old Liu was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He hurriedly put down his food and ran away.
Old Liu told the three elders in the village what he saw, and the three elders were also shocked. Although there are not many people in Liujiazhai, such a thing has never happened in hundreds of years. If the government knew, Liujiazhai would be
If their good life was gone, the whole village would be affected. So, the three elders decided to drive those people away as soon as possible.
Hou Jian stood on the mountain ridge, with Hou Si standing behind him. The two of them said nothing, looking at the originally beautiful small mountain village that was ravaged by the fire. Several mountain people on the mountain road who wanted to escape were chopped down by Hou Jian's men.
Arrive and kick into the burning house.
A man in black ran over and saluted Hou Jian: "Jun Hou, there are twenty-three people in the village. One person has not returned from home. The others have been dealt with!"
Hou Jian nodded: "Leave two people behind and move the others immediately. No traces can be left behind. Remember, we have never appeared here before."
"Here!"
Waiting for the man in black to leave, Hou Si sighed: "Master, do we really want to do this? These villagers don't mean any harm. They just don't want to cause trouble. As long as we leave, they will never reveal our whereabouts."
Hou Jian did not look at Hou Si: "I don't believe anyone except you and me now, including the king. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hou Si nodded: "The king asked us to get rid of Su Ren this time. If we fail, how can we explain to the king? With the king's character, our situation may not be good."
"The use of Jiange bandits has failed. Bandits in other places also know that this group is Su Ren. With Su Ren's prestige, those guys will definitely not dare to act rashly. Next, we must do it ourselves. In order not to be exposed
We must completely wipe out this village. The best time to deal with Su Ren is to make him think it is impossible. We must succeed no matter what, even if it costs my life!" Hou Jian said lightly, not because of Hou Jian.
Four words became uneasy.
Hou Si didn't say anything. He had watched his master grow up, and he was very ambitious. In the past two years, he had been suppressed by Su Ren. Not only was he homeless, everything he owned was gone.
Now he has become someone else's dog. Everything has changed Hou Jian. He has become vicious, murderous, and similar to an impersonal beast. Sometimes Sidu doesn't dare to be around Hou Jian.
Long wait.
The last mountain man who went out has been caught. Before he could cry out, his head was chopped off. All the villages under the mountain ridge have been set on fire, not only burning the houses, but also burning the crops. Wait until there is a heavy rain next year.
, moistened by these plant ash, the original Liujiazhai will be covered by weeds. In a few years, no one may know that there was once a small village of more than 20 people here.
He kept watching the flames get smaller and did not ignite the surrounding woods. Hou Jiancai led the people out of Liujiazhai and turned onto the main road along the narrow path. He was looking for a place that looked least suitable for a sneak attack. Before fighting Su Ren
After so many times, Hou Jian never found the trick. Su Ren seemed to be full of flaws, but in fact he was watertight. Even in the most dangerous times, he could come up with the most ingenious solutions.
There is also a valley in front of it. The terrain is open and there is water, so it is the best place to use as a camp. The surrounding woods are not too far or too close, so there will be no wild animals approaching unnoticed, nor will the woods be ignited by fire. Of course, this is not the case here either.
The best place for a sneak attack is that as long as you have a strong bow, even two hundred people can't get close to a camp with fifty guards.
"Just here!" Hou Jian stopped: "Everyone hide in the woods and wait!"
Hou Si glanced at Hou Jian: "The terrain is very unfavorable for us. Su Ren has fifty guards. This is not a good place for a sneak attack, right?"
"Right here!" Hou Jian did not explain, but had already ordered the men in black to hide and cover up their traces.
After seeing off the bandits happily, Su Ren lay comfortably on the grass in front of Jianmen Pass. He didn't expect his name to be so useful. This may be the celebrity effect. No wonder the places where the stars of later generations have passed are crowded with people.
, today he also felt the feeling of being a celebrity. It didn't take much effort to persuade the bandits to go to the Qiang area. Even if only one-third of the bandits went to the Qiang area, there were still five or six hundred people. For the Qiang area, they must be
A catastrophe.
Leng Jun looked at the group of bandits who were full of confidence in the future and asked Su Ren: "Why are they allowed to go to the Qiang land? Isn't the Qiang land still in chaos?"
"Here we go again, put away your compassion and remember one sentence, those who are not of my race will have different hearts! If you want to turn the land of the savages into the land of our Han people, the best way is to completely eliminate them.
"
"Do you hate barbarians so much? They are human beings too and have the right to live!"
"That's right!" Su Ren nodded: "Yes, everyone has the right to survive, including wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, and this grass. All living things have the right to survive, but others
Forget that the place we live in is limited. If we want to live, others must also live. In order for us to live a better life, we must prevent others from living a good life. This is called the right to survive."
"The Han Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources. It is the best place in the world. Even in such a good place, not everyone can have enough food and clothing. If there are more and more Han people in the future, how should we live? You have farmed the land and know that one stone of rice
How many hectares of land are needed to grow food? When one stone of rice cannot keep you and your family alive, you will naturally try to find ways to grow more. So where will the extra land come from?"
"Wrong truth!" He glared at Su Ren coldly. Although he felt that what Su Ren said was a fallacy, he could not tell any other reason: "According to what you say, all the places in the world should become places for us Han people?"
"That's not the case! A big geographical area may not be a good thing. None of your brothers understand. When a big family has many people and little land, the whole family will be crowded together. When there are few people in the area, they will think about it.
The Zhou Dynasty is a good example of the separation of families. After many brothers separated, what became? They were torn apart and wars continued. Therefore, the land should not be too much or too little, and it must be measured."
"How much is good?"
Su Ren shook his head: "I don't know, this is something His Majesty has considered!"
Leng Jun walked away angrily, and he had never won a debate with Su Ren. What Su Ren said was not convincing, but it made people think. From this, it can be inferred that the reason why the Han people kill each other lies in the land.
In order to compete for the best and most beautiful land, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period attacked other small countries. The Seven Hegemons of the Warring States Period attacked and killed each other in order to seize more resources. Even the wars at the end of Qin Dynasty were caused by the people who could no longer live anymore, so they rebelled.
The Han Dynasty is slowly becoming stronger now, and no one knows what it will be like in the future. As the population increases, there will inevitably be insufficient land. There is actually nothing wrong with planning ahead. Leng Jun is a descendant of Xiang Yu. Although he has not received formal education, his family
He still has the overall view, so he understands Su Ren's words more deeply.
Leng Jun left, and Su Kai came again. Su Ren raised his head and asked, "What? Is there something wrong with those people?"
Su Kai shook his head: "They are very peaceful. It is a good choice for you to let these bandits go to the Qiang land. It is the responsibility of every Han to open up territory for our Han people!"
"Shit! Leng Laoer is too merciful. You are a bit loyal and stupid. It's really boring to talk to you!" Su Ren turned over and sat up: "Tell me, what happened, I finally took a break, but you ruined it all!"
Su Kai said: "What do you think of the two people mentioned by the leader of the third village?"
"What else can you think of? I am an enemy! I have offended so many people in Shu County, and there are definitely not a few who want me dead!"
"Who do you think it is?"
"Who do you think it is?"
Su Kai shook his head: "I don't know, I just think what the leader of the three villages said is that he has seen it before, once in Yuanshan and once in Chengdu!"
"Hahaha... Since you know, why are you asking?" Su Ren patted Su Kai on the shoulder and smiled: "I have provoked a lot of people in the past two years, and he is the only one who is really determined to go against me, and he has failed repeatedly.
It keeps coming back.”
"Why not kill him?"
"Killing is easy, but not everyone can do it while keeping their most ferocious enemy." Su Ren said seriously: "I am a lazy person. I always need some motivation to do anything. I have to protect and take care of people in the past three years.
More and more, living in such troubled times, I need to be more vigilant at all times, and keeping him here is to keep me from relaxing."
Su Kai nodded: "Maybe you are right. If you want better, I am willing to be your enemy and remind you all the time!"
"No, you are too dangerous. I think that one is good!" (To be continued)
