Chapter 2058 Untimely and unruly(1/2)
Although on the whole, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as enterprising as the Western Han Dynasty, it was still somewhat tenacious. The political chaos and anxiety did not cause the Han gentry children to lose their fighting spirit. This is especially true among the older generation.
It is more obvious on the body.
The party's imprisonment only restricted their ways of promotion, but did not imprison their thoughts. After these people return to the political arena, these people will become more determined and stubborn.
Just like Liu Biao.
During Liu Biao's reign, did he make the people of Jingzhou unhappy and angry? No. Moreover, he did a better job than ordinary Confucian scholars. Although there are some traces of imitation in some places, the article itself is a masterpiece in the world, like
What kind of Imperial College, Mingtang, and Hundred Medical Clinics are they? Aren’t they actions to benefit the people?
Liu Biao also wanted to do something in the current chaotic situation of the Han Dynasty, but he never realized that the system is one thing, but its implementation is another.
In the south of Xiangyang City, many refugees came one after another.
These refugees were in a miserable state, wailing and howling in the south of Xiangyang City.
Life in this world is nothing more than birth, old age, illness and death, but most people want to live. No matter how miserable or humble they are, as long as they can survive.
Xiangyang City is sandwiched between two mountains. To the north of the city is the raging Cao army, and to the south of the city are the surging refugees. It seems to have a different symbolic meaning.
The entire north and south of Xiangyang City were in chaos, and all kinds of sounds were mixed and intertwined. Especially the sounds of Cao's army attacking the city in the north of the city, the shouts of curses, cheers, and desperate fighting, were even louder in the sky.
Cao Jun held a sword and shield, bent down and covered his body with the shield. He opened and merged the shield in an orderly manner amidst the sound of orders. He approached the city head and fired bursts of arrows. Correspondingly, the battlements were on the top of Xiangyang City.
as a shield, and then draw the bow and shoot behind the shooting hole and parapet.
Liu Cong held his head, curled up into a ball, and nestled in the corner as much as possible.
When Liu Cong was young, he thought he was a hero.
The kind that stands tall and tall.
But now, in Liu Cong's head, the figure of the hero has disappeared, and only the word "living" is left...
In such a complicated and troubled world, if you don't possess and demonstrate the ability to shake the world, are you really qualified to control your own destiny?
"Master!" Suddenly, the voice of the guard sounded outside the door, "Cao's army has begun to attack!"
Liu Cong shivered and bit his fingers in his mouth, not daring to make any sound. He was afraid. When he was afraid, his legs would become weak. In severe cases, he could not even stand up.
When Liu Cong was a child, he was afraid of his father's anger, because when his father was angry, the whole family seemed to change immediately, with clouds and lightning, so Liu Cong tried his best to do what his father wanted him to do, such as reading and reading.
Practicing calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano can only make his father happy, that's all Liu Cong has.
However, now, Liu Cong discovered that what his father Liu Biao wanted, or what he had put in countless efforts to learn and practice as a child, was meaningless and out of date.
Can the books Liu Cong has read, the calligraphy he has practiced, the paintings he has drawn, and the piano he has played able to withstand swords and guns? Can they eliminate the bloodshed? Can they make Cao Cao's army retreat? If not, why did he practice these things in the first place? My father wants to do it now
I became a hero, but why wasn't I told how to become a hero? Can reading, practicing calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano make me a hero? If not, why did you praise me when I learned these things?
?
"puff!"
A stray arrow flew in from the window above the city gate and pierced the wooden floor diagonally. The swaying variegated tail seemed to be stained with some blood.
Liu Cong stared blankly at the arrow, the feathers on the arrow's tail quivering slightly.
The sunlight penetrated through the gap in the city gate tower, and then danced lightly in the darkness, bringing up countless smoke and dust, floating and lingering on the tail fin of the arrow.
"Master!"
The guard outside the door was startled and hurriedly patted the door, "Young Master, are you okay? Young Master!"
"No...it's okay..." Liu Cong choked a few times and squeezed out half a sentence.
The guard outside the door was relieved and shouted: "Get over there! Block the window!"
The light and shadow moved, and then the elves jumping in the room disappeared, leaving only darkness...
Liu Cong hugged his body and huddled in the corner, "Father... Since you want me to be a hero, why didn't you teach me how to be a hero at the beginning? It's not that I don't want to be a hero now, but that I...
I don’t understand, I...I can’t do it...』
I don’t know how long it took, but Cao Jun finally retreated. Although Xiangyang City in the Han Dynasty may not be as strong as Guo Daxia in the Song Dynasty, it is still a powerful city and will not be conquered easily.
Cao's soldiers receded like a tide, and Xiangyang City began to feel a little more relaxed. Repairing damaged equipment, carrying dead bodies, transporting various consumable supplies, etc., and all of this requires manpower and labor. Such and so on.
In the world, the hardest working people are not the soldiers who defend the city, because these soldiers only fight for their lives while defending the city, but the people who "voluntarily" serve as laborers need to work all the time, delivering weapons and consumables during war.
During the truce, the city wall had to be repaired. Not only did it not have any armor protection, it could be taken away by drifting arrows at any time, but even if it was just lying down to rest, it would be kicked awake, and then another errand would be assigned to it...
…
These labors are similar to those of future generations of code farmers. Company leaders always say that they will take a vacation and rest after finishing this project, but in fact, after this project is completed, the next project will not only be seamlessly connected, but also
Negative seam butt joint, when the holiday is really on, there are only two possibilities, either the company collapses, or oneself collapses.
So, naturally, someone suggested that the refugees from the south of the city could be used to supplement some of the labor in the city.
At the beginning, they were naturally very cautious and did not open the city gate. They used hanging baskets to hoist the soldiers down first, and then selected and inspected them. If there were no problems, they used the hanging baskets to hoist them up again. After checking again, they were sure they were from Nanjun, Jingzhou.
Only the refugees who fled were added to the labor queue.
Everything is fine.
The Jingzhou refugees in Nanjun, the unarmed people, while supplementing the labor force, can also slightly relieve the pressure caused by these refugees. However, in this world, it is not difficult to do something well, but you must continue to do it seriously.
It is quite difficult to do everything well.
In fact, Cao Cao had already made up his mind to completely solve the Xiangyang problem before the autumn harvest.
Migrant workers...well, Qingzhou soldiers cannot default on their military pay.
The Qingzhou soldiers agreed to work for Cao Cao. The most important thing was that Cao Cao promised a series of benefits and fulfilled them. Therefore, the Qingzhou soldiers followed Cao Cao and fought in the north and south until the last moment of Cao Cao's life. At the same time, Cao Cao also had
Only with the support of Qingzhou soldiers can you show respect to these Jizhou and Yuzhou nobles. Otherwise, all the human, financial and material resources will be in the hands of these Jizhou and Yuzhou people. After you are a eunuch, what qualifications do you have to take the lead?
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the battle of Jingzhou turns into a war of attrition, it may not be a joke if there is any big disturbance within Cao Cao in the future.
However, with Cao Cao behind and Xiahou Dun in front, they still maintained a certain degree of optimism that the war could be ended in time...
After all, everything is planned now.
But there is only one chance.
In the dark night, it is when demons are rampant.
Han Song wandered to the south gate of Xiangyang with two or three people.
"Han Biejia..." The military prince on duty stopped Han Song, "I wonder what Han Biejia is here for?"
Han Song served as Jingzhou Mu Biejia for a period of time, which was half a level higher than someone's original Jingzhou Governor Biejia. Although Han Song's Biejia position was later replaced by Liu Biao,
Ordinary Cong Cao, but no matter in ancient times or in later generations, when the position is called, it is always high rather than low. It is like a retired Secretary Wang who obviously has no official position anymore, but he still has to be called Secretary. It is impossible to say it on the spot.
Just change it to "Lao Wang"...
Han Song's expression didn't change, "As ordered, we will arrange more labor."
The military lord frowned a little, "Didn't you show your talent during the day? Why did you come again at night?"
"There is an epidemic in front of us, and some civil servants need to be quarantined..." Han Song glanced at the military prince and said, "If dawn comes again, Cao's army may attack the city, how will it be mobilized? Fortunately, the lord has a hundred medical clinics in the city...
…It’s just that we’ve used a lot of medicinal herbs, and there aren’t many left in the library…”
Han Song is not talking nonsense about this matter.
Although the Han Hussar Generals have implemented various health regulations for a long time, it does not mean that they can be followed in the same way in Jingzhou, especially in the current state of war and the hot weather, many people died.
There is no way to eliminate flies, mosquitoes, rats, etc. Whether it is ordinary diarrhea or other serious plagues, when a large number of people gather, it is difficult to avoid being infected with each other.
Naturally, the military lords on duty at the South Gate also heard about this, and they couldn't help but look a little heavy and worried. It's easy to hide an invisible and colorless disease like this. In the Han Dynasty, not many people knew how to prevent and treat it.
.
Therefore, the military prince had no reason to stop Han Song, but he did not leave, but monitored from the side, watching Han Song let people ride in a hanging basket first, go down to the city, recruit refugees, and even carefully interrogated everyone
The selected refugees were not only searched, but also illuminated with torches from beginning to end...
Han Song stood aside with his hands in his sleeves and didn't say much. He even saw the military prince checking the newly recruited refugees two or three times without urging them. In the end, it was the military prince who came forward to apologize.
They waved their hands, smiled lukewarmly, and said what their respective responsibilities were, it didn't matter.
Naturally, there is no problem with this group of refugees.
It's just that everyone's attention is focused on these refugees, and they have ignored the people Han Song brought before. Are there three people, or are they always two...
At this point, all the joints are finally connected. As we all know, when a chain is pulled up, no iron ring will be clean.
……:-O:-O:-O:-O……
Heluo.
The three-color flag fluttered high, and the sound of horse hooves beat unhurriedly.
A long cavalry formation was marching along the official road.
Some caravans hurriedly drove their vehicles, mules and horses to both sides of the road to make room for this army. After these people and horses passed, they continued their original formation. At this point, the people of the Han Dynasty obviously did
It's much better than some fools in later generations. If you encounter a military column and jump in line, are you looking for a chance or death?
Among the cavalry formations, there was a canopy chariot. It was fortunate that the general of the hussars was asked to regulate the official road. Driving on the official road, the bumps were not too big, at least not the kind that would make all the internal organs pop out...
To be continued...
