Chapter 3386 Shuo
The sky gradually became brighter, but there were still many clouds, making the entire sky look like a layer of gray lenses, and everything looked a bit distorted and weird.
The sky is twisting, the earth is dark, and even the people busy at the Gubeikou Pass seem to be twisting, like living things or walking zombies.
After hearing the massive attack of the Cavalry Army, the entire Youzhou seemed to be restless for a moment, but some people were active, while others were passive, but no matter how they moved, they were uncomfortable. Whether it was the soldiers on duty at the battlements of the city walls, or the civilians carrying and repairing fortifications under the city, they always showed some panic and awkward expressions.
This pass was originally built to defend against the Hu people...
But now, it has become a place for infighting.
Perhaps there is nothing strange about it. The Chinese tradition is to blame each other, despise each other, scold each other, and fight each other. But in fact, these mutual problems are mostly due to stagnation in development.
Just like now, Youzhou is trapped in the pass and cannot enter. Wouldn't the remaining land and population have to be retracted?
Youzhou was somewhat good during the Qin and Han dynasties. When it was later Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was really called squeezing each other so that there was an extra room to take a breath, which was a great luxury.
There are always people who feel that they have finally climbed up, so why do they have to separate the sunshine, rain and dew? They have completely forgotten how they hate, resent, and hate those who occupy the upper part, and they obviously can't eat or use them, but they just occupy the people who don't let them go...
The people coming and going were dejected, dragging and carrying on the ground.
All supplies of all sizes were sent out and delivered inward, and they were crowded together on the south road of Gubeikou.
High and low sounds come one after another.
"Give it aside!"
『Don't go to the line!』
"Give it aside!"
"Why let it go?"
"Do you fucking give up?"
"If you want to fight, get away, don't get in the way!"
These civilians on the South Road don’t care about who is right or wrong. They just want to hand in their errands quickly and get the money early and then finish it.
As for what is right or wrong, what is that rare thing?
Is there such thing in Shandong?
As long as they could spend a few days of rest, the Youyan people felt that they had lived a few more days in the troubled times. As for whether the cavalry won or the prime minister won, they didn't care at all.
The reason why they came to help the Cao army transport food and grass and repair the city walls under the oppression of the Cao army was not that they were willing to do so, but that they had no choice but to make a living.
Moreover, even though Cao's army was very strict, it was because of cats and rats. The materials they passed by could be more or less contaminated with oil and flowers. After so long, this little oil and money spent, can it be considered to be a delay in life for a while, right?
As long as your luck is not that bad, you might be able to survive this bloody war!
Anyway, the senior officials and men said that if you get beaten, you must be beaten and you can't slap it!
Don’t run away, don’t make trouble, otherwise you will have no negotiation if you label red and green!
Don’t believe in rumors, don’t spread rumors, but you must believe whatever the master says...
Driven by such emotions, whether it is Yuyang or Gubeikou, there is always a little less vitality and a little more dead energy.
It turns out that this important pass is also from some market vendors. Now it has been gone. The rest is those who want to go but have no way to go, or some reason why they can't go. As for those who are living well, most of them are just eating public food...
Who is not messing around these days?
The founding of the Han Dynasty has been three or four hundred years. Even Liu Xiu revived, nearly two hundred years have passed. The pioneering spirit and unyielding spirit at the beginning have been changed day after day, and the orders have changed every day, referring to the rats being worn out among ducks.
Especially those laws that do not fight back, do not help, predict, and be courteous, have subtly wiped out the last bit of conscience and blood of the Han people.
So in Gubeikou, most people are doing it.
It looks like it is for the superiors.
After all, the superiors and superiors of superiors just need to look at what they look like?
Lei Chong led a group of people to look at Gubeikou from afar.
They went back.
Lei Chong felt a little moved.
He originally thought that this world would either take the initiative to become a madman or passively drive mad!
But unexpectedly, there is a new road in the darkness.
Sometimes, once you make up your mind, many things are simple.
Lei Chong immediately left all his original tasks and responsibilities, and took Liu Fu straight to the south of Gubeikou!
As an old soldier in the army, Lei Chong, who had been in Youyan for a long time, could even estimate a lot of things...
For example, now, Gubeikou will definitely send a military officer to the generals to pay a little bit of military pay, money and food for the soldiers stationed in Gubeikou. The purpose is very simple, to stabilize people's hearts.
Cao Chun must still be in Yuyang, raising food and grass, and allocating troops...
But Cao Chun will also come to Gubeikou soon.
No one talked about this to Lei Chong, but Lei Chong knew about it.
He knows it all.
He looked at the southern entrance of Gubeikou and recalled some of the things he had in Youyan over the years...
That's right, he actually knew everything, but he pretended not to know before.
It was like she was guarding outside for three years, and when she got home, she found that her wife had added a year old son to her. His wife said that she was away one day and saw big footprints in the field. She was curious and stepped on them, and she became pregnant...
This is a god-given child!
Lei Chong laughed on his face and felt irritated.
He also stepped on footprints. Damn this is Fuxi's reincarnation? Can he cover it up? This silly woman said that she was caught by a catfish spirit when she was washing clothes. It was better than saying that this reason!
But this is how life is. During the Qin and Han dynasties, there were too many such things, so it would be better for the children in the family to have their own surnames. Is there so many things to pay attention to, and I can't get through it?
I didn’t say anything if I didn’t see Prime Minister Cao. What can I say as a small leader like myself?
But every year, although Lei Chong didn't say anything, pretended not to know anything, and hid it in his stomach, it would eventually ferment and bubbling.
"belch……"
Lei Chong took off the gourd, took a few sips, burped, then stared at the gourd for a moment, suddenly snorted, and threw the gourd on the side of the road. The gourd happened to fall on a stone and cracked in half.
Gourd, confused.
I originally thought that only by being confused can I have good fortune, but now Lei Chong has figured it out, why should I be confused?
Lei Chong did not look at the gourd again and looked forward.
When they came back, many people saw it and found it strange, but no one asked more.
That’s right, in Shandong, it’s not your own business, and no one will ask more.
Of course, even if someone asks more questions, the experienced Lei Chong can fool him. However, many people clearly saw Lei Chong back without any emergency, but they still chose to hang up if they didn’t care about it.
Before today, Lei Chong did this himself, but when he really stood on the other side, he realized how big and terrible this problem was...
Lei Chong turned his head and looked at Liu Fu's queue who had been following him.
Liu Fu and others dressed up as "ordinary" Youyan passers-by.
In Lei Chong's eyes, Liu Fu and others were not ordinary at all.
Now in Youyan Land, who can passers-by be like Liu Fu and others, with a red face, fat body, and round waist like Liu Fu and others?
Look at the real Youyan people around you, who are not pale, thin, ragged, and gray-tongued?
But strangely, many people are strange, but not surprising.
Lei Chong also figured it out. In Shandong, it is better to have less than more things than more things. Isn’t that the case?
Lei Chong nodded slightly to Liu Fu, then led the people forward, pushing away the queues of civilians blocking the road from time to time, "Go aside! Don't have any eyes? Go away!"
If you are smart, you may probably notice the implicit meaning of Thunder Chong. If you are stupid, you may think Thunder Chong is domineering and arrogant and unreasonable...
Seeing this, Liu Fu and others also shouted loudly while following closely.
Soon, it was before the closing of Gubeikou South Road.
Gubeikou was originally quite majestic, but unfortunately it was broken by the Hu people before, but later it was broken through by the Cavalry Army, so many fortifications were destroyed. The trenches that were originally wide and deep at the South Road entrance have now been barely dug up some again to make surface work. Even the broken bricks on the city gate have not been completely cleaned until now. There are a bunch of them in the east and a place in the west.
The soldiers on duty at the city gate were listlessly checking the commuters and saying that they were checking, but they were also dealing with errands. After all, the main threat was in the north, and they didn't know how long they could live, nor did they know whether there was hope for the future, so they didn't care about anything at all, nor did they care about anything.
However, Lei Chong and his party were still a little eye-catching. Before Lei Chong's people approached, the officer guarding the gate shouted: "Stop! What are you going to do when you are here?"
Lei Chong walked a few steps forward, "What else can I do? I don't have money to eat! Military pay! Pay our military pay!"
"Wait!" The gatekeeper stretched out his hand and said, "You stop first!"
Lei Chong and others were not in a hurry, so they stopped as the gatekeeper asked, "If we don't get military pay today, we won't leave!"
"Yes! I won't leave!"
"It is natural to pay back the debt!"
『Repay our military pay!』
Lei Chong's soldiers shouted in a mess.
When the soldiers on the top of the city saw it, they laughed and didn't care at all.
In Shandong, military pay is a traditional skill, and it will come every few days.
"If you want military pay, you have to go to General Cao. You are going to Yuyang, what are you doing here?" The officer guarding the gate subconsciously began to play the ball, "Jiuyang has money, what can I have here?"
Lei Chong laughed, "Don't want to fool me! I've heard that the Yuyang junket officer is here! Your military pay is all over! We don't have any! Do you think we are fools?! Ask the junket officer to come out to see me!"
"Isn't this military pay available only if it's useful..."
The gatekeeper wanted to fool him, but was scolded by Lei Chong: "You monkey! Don't be shameless! If you can talk about this matter, just call someone if you can't! If you don't get the money today, don't want us to work hard!"
"You are so arrogant, I don't care, no matter..." The gatekeeper seemed to feel that he had lost some face, so he added, "Stand up to the side, don't block the road. It's true that you owe you military pay, but you have no grudges with them, right?"
Lei Chong turned his head, exchanged glances with Liu Fu not far away, and then waved his hand.
Lei Chong's soldiers moved to the side and gave up some space.
Is this kind of military pay a thing? According to Shandong practice, it is not fully distributed.
Because the civil servants in Shandong put themselves in their shoes for these big-headed soldiers, they were afraid that after they received the military salary, they would either spend all their money in a few days, or be cheated and gambling, so they didn't find the money directly, so they wrote a note and stamped it to indicate that they had temporarily existed in so-and-so.
It is usually placed in the military.
Then when money is needed, the soldiers will go to the military office to collect it.
This will ensure that these military pay will not be deceived by some malicious intentions, and will also better guarantee the interests of soldiers, right?
But here's the problem...
The Military Control Commission has concentrated so much money, is it that it is left to let mold and rot?
It must be taken out and lending!
If you take it out to lend money, it is so important here that it can’t be finished in three days and three nights. So once the soldiers want to come and receive their own military pay, the minor officials in the Military Control Department will make things difficult for them. They either say they need to queue up, fill out the application form, or ask them to ask them to carefully find out the specific purpose, and they want to scammers to clean up all the ancestors of the soldiers and ask them to prove that they are themselves, and that the money is their own, not the income from fraud.
Anyway, I just don't give it.
It turns out that there is an order from the top, but they can't take out what order they want...
Therefore, if you want to receive military pay, you have to make trouble.
This is also a scene in Shandong and often appears.
Soon, the military officer from Yuyang appeared at the intersection. Before the people arrived, the voice came out first, "What are you doing? Do you want money? Ah? Let's find trouble again, and you will arrest you one by one!"
For ordinary soldiers, they are the God of Wealth, each of them, and they are all slutty and are not afraid at all!
When the military officer arrived at the door, he saw Lei Chong clearly, but he pretended that he couldn't see it and pinched his beard, "Is that the one who needs military pay? Have you taken the number and filled out the form? He is such a big person, and he doesn't even understand this?"
If Lei Chong really wants military pay, he must be humble. After all, the money is in the hands of the junket officer. If he really gets the money, he will have to settle the accounts afterwards. So although the junket officer comes out alone, it looks like a vulnerable group, but in fact, the junket officer is not alone, he is not just alone!
But today it was different, Lei Chong's eyes gradually became unkind.
Over the years, after joining the army, he was deducted by the quartermaster and was deducted every year. It was not that he could not give it, but that he didn't want to give it!
Then now, it's time to settle the accounts.
Of course, Lei Chong knew that the quarrestrial officer in front of him was not the ones who had deducted his military pay in the years, but so what?
Moreover, he did not come for military pay at all. The reason why he called for military pay was just to draw the attention of the defenders...
You are unlucky!
Lei Chong glanced at the quarantine officer.
Although he has been in the army for many years, he cannot recognize all the military officers.
This position has always been a fat man, and many people are trying to be the ones, and those who do not have the ability will be squeezed away soon.
But, today, who he is?
When the resentment accumulated over the years arises, whoever encounters it will be unlucky!
Lei Chong walked forward slowly with a smile.
The quarantine officer didn't feel anything unusual at the beginning, and he still leaned his head and waited for Lei Chong to come and show his salute. After all, over the years, have the money to make money? Who would care about how much risks it contained?
A flash of light from Lei Chong's eyes, and he pulled out the battle knife when he slashed his hand. The sword light flashed, and blood immediately splashed. The quarantine officer didn't even have time to make a shouting sound. The back of the shoulder strap was cut open halfway, and the blood was splattered in the middle, falling backwards!
When Lei Chong took action, the soldiers following Lei Chong also shouted, waving his swords and guns and pounced directly on!
The gatekeeper was standing aside to watch the show, but he didn't arrive first, and he was actually on the stage. He was about to hide, but he was touched by Liu Fu at some point. Taking advantage of the gatekeeper's attention being attracted by Lei Chong, he rushed forward with a sharp knife and stabbed the gatekeeper's neck!
Behind Liu Fu, dozens of men shouted loudly, each of whom pulled out swords, spears and weapons from their loads or packages, and rushed to Gubeikou with Lei Chong and other soldiers!
In a blink of an eye, the defenders at the southern intersection were cut to death and dispersed.
The men at the intersection saw blood flying at the first time, and immediately squatted down, raised their hands to signal, and even felt that they might hinder those people. They squatted silently and moved their steps, avoided the side, then opened their eyes wide, watched the blood flying in front of them, and shouted wildly.
Liu Fu had already spread a three-color battle flag, and the roar was like thunder. "Liu Fu is here under the command of the Cavalry Army! The thieves of Cao are incompetent! It is a disaster for Youyan! Now the Cavalry is facing the city and will help all the people hanging upside down! Those who obey can live, and those who disobey will die!"
Behind Liu Fu, the men also shouted, "Those who obey can live, and those who disobey will die!"
Most of the Gubeikou defenders were in the north, guarding against the Zhang He army that came from the north, while the Nandaokou defenders did not have much awareness of defense. Moreover, these Cao army soldiers were still in a mess. On the one hand, due to inertia, they didn't want to change their lives. On the other hand, they didn't know what would happen in the future. They could make a living for a day.
Therefore, when Lei Chong and Liu Fu rushed directly to Gubeikou South Road and killed the generals, these Cao army soldiers could not stop them at all!
Chapter completed!
