Chapter 4 Life is like grass

In the end, Wang Hou, who was enjoying himself, did not enter Chengcheng either.

There is no way. When it was one or two hundred meters away from Ping'a County, which was not much bigger than the community in later generations, the amazing fishy smell was already coming to my face, making Wang Hou, who had been sleeping in the open these two days, even though he had been sleeping in the open, his nerves were much thicker and he couldn't bear it.

Full of shock, he pulled the reins of the yellow horse that was also frightened and restless, and he rushed up in two circles. During this Kung Fu, Cao Hongjie and other tiger and leopard cavalry also rushed up with full vigilance. He was held back in the middle and looked at Cao Hongjie who was facing a great enemy. Wang Hou asked in surprise with his nose pinched.

"This taste! Is the pillar industry in Pinga County selling stinky tofu?"

But he ignored him at all, and he also pinched his nose, kicked the horse's ribs lightly, and held the ring-headed knife backwards. The little sissy ran to Ping'a County, which was still tightly closed in broad daylight, and then kicked it up suddenly.

With a buzzing sound, the heavy wooden city gate opened.

Looking at the city, Wang Hou felt the blood flowing all over his body towards his brain. First, his head swelled, but then his spine was cold, which made him tremble.

Fight for land and fight, kill people to fill the wilderness! Fight for city and fight for city and kill people to fill the city! He really saw it.

It is not the kind of extra actor who doesn't even shed a drop of blood in the TV series. The real corpse is lying on the road of Ping'a County in a row. The blood has rendered the rammed earth road red and black. In the bloody smell of the sky, the crows and wild dogs squat on the corpse and chew on it, and the flies have already spread to the point of swarming.

Wang Hou is not a hero, nor does he have the strong mentality of a treacherous hero like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo regarding human life as a mustard. As an ordinary person who has only traveled to the fourth day of this era, the scene in front of him completely shocked him.

…………

More than 3,000 people in the entire county were all slaughtered, regardless of gender, age, and one was not left. The corpse spread from the city gate to the depths of the complex thatched houses. The vendor died next to his stall. The tavern owner was killed in front of the counter. Several women were hung on the beams of the house with fear and despair. Blows of hot wind blew by, and their dry and rotten eyes looked at Wang Hou and his group with terrifying and weird eyes.

After nearly two days of killing, under the hot rays of autumn tigers, most of the corpses began to rot. Countless flies were foraging here to lay eggs. This was how the amazing stench came out.

Made of cut clothes to make a mask, followed Cao Hongjie into this county town that looked like a horror movie scene in a frightened manner. In his ears, the harsh sound of flies' wings was as loud as a truck and a motor. The crow squatted on the corpse, his eyes were red as blood. He was not afraid of anyone at all, but he also warned and screamed at the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers.

Wang Hou's scalp was numb, and he followed Cao Hongjie straight to the county government office, which was also in a mess. In the face of death, humans finally realized equality. On the stairs in front of the county government office, a corpse wearing a yellow robe of a man fell to death there, and around him were county government officials or local tyrants wearing black soap and crowns on their heads.

Because his face was facing down, the official's face had completely rotted and was kicked over by Cao Hongjie's leather boots. The disgusting maggots fell down. However, these days, officials carried their seals with them. From his waist, Cao Hongjie untied the bag and a small seal was taken into his palm.

Pinga County, Chen!

"Ping A Ling Chen Quan was also killed!"

While weighing the small seal in his hand, Cao Hongjie couldn't help but shake his head solemnly.

He was particularly sensitive to the word Chen. He looked around in a creepy manner. Suddenly, Wang Hou suddenly forgot his fear and asked in a hurry: "Chen Quan? What is the relationship with Chen Gui, Xuzhou?"

He looked at him with a surprise, but put the seal in his arms, she still explained softly: "Chen Quan was a three-person resident of Guangling. He went to Luoyang to serve as a Dianbo in his early years and fled with the emperor to the east. The Prime Minister saw that he was still a little talented and had a deep relationship with Xuzhou, so he asked him to be the county magistrate here to support the food and salary supply in Liu Yuzhou."

"I don't know which thieves are so vicious! They actually massacred the city and sacrificed their sacrifices! Cao Li, you immediately send someone back to report to the Prime Minister to guard against the thieves' rebellion! The massacre is plague, this place is not a place to stay for a long time! Let's go!"

It was brave and capable. After a few words, the little sissy had completed the disposal. After receiving the order, the three tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers turned over and rushed out of the city first. The group also covered their noses and retreated quickly, but they were completely different from the appearance of a plague chicken just now. Although they were still trembling a little, Wang Hou forced himself to look at the bodies.

On the one hand, just like the Earl of Monte Cristo in Dumas's works, in order to avenge, he has been watching executions everywhere for more than ten years, so as to make himself numb and cruel. Only by facing these bloody corpses can his heart be tempered and hardened.

On the other hand, this really concerns his life! Cao Cao doesn't care about his five thousand stones of millet, but wherever he can take it, he can only go elsewhere to fool him. After seeing the big-eared thief Liu Bei, he suddenly remembered that there was also a fan of Prime Minister Cao in Xuzhou, Chen Deng, the captain of Xuzhou Diannong School!

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a famous chapter of Chen Deng, a 25-year-old boy, selling Lu Bu. In real history, their typical genius who were superior and thought they were noble were also incompatible with Lu Bu, a warlord who came from Xiliang.

Moreover, although the world was in chaos at this time, Xuzhou also experienced wars, especially in the Pengcheng area, and was also brutal massacre by his boss Cao Cao. After all, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, which had to snatch the four battles, were better than Huainan, which was in a severe drought, and Chen Jiatian and Qianmo, taking out 5,000 stones of grain, should be a little bit of for him.

Relying on the contradiction between the two, Wang Hou was 70% sure to convince him to send out 5,000 stones of food to save his dog's life by borrowing the emperor from his boss, Mr. Cao.

But at this critical moment, such a mess has happened!

The city behind Boss Cao was slaughtered, blocking the retreat of Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Da'er. The person who was killed was still a relative of the Chen family in Guangling! The conspiracy tasted a bit too heavy.

Moreover, with his years of experience in watching dramas and watching suspense, Wang Hou really found some extraordinary traces!

He was standing in the tea shop not far from the county government office. The tea owner fell to death on the tea stool in the house, but the bloodstains dragged more than two meters away to see the seat. Before he died, he was standing at the door of the shop to watch the fun. Suddenly, the disaster came. He had only had time to escape for two steps and suffered fatal injuries. He struggled for two meters before he died on the bench.

He is not an individual case. At the edge of the yamen, the dead gentry and officials could even arrange them in a slightly formed formation. Chen Quan's face was corrupt and he could not see his expression, but the position where he fell was facing the county government on his right hand. This position was obviously not trying his best to resist any bandits, but rather like someone welcoming.

And the traces of killing spread from the city to the gate

He pinched his nose, kicked his feet to his side, and turned the tea boss's corpse over. A deep rotten wound appeared hideously behind him, but the wound was also very strange. A triangle-shaped piercing wound was crossed like a bird pecking, and a long shallow cut mark was dragged out below the bird's beak wound.

Holding the little sissy's sleeve, Wang Hou asked in surprise: "What kind of weapon can leave such wounds?"

Just as he was covering his nose and frowning, he turned around and shouted impatiently.

"It's a halberd!"

When Wang Hou heard this answer, the corners of his eyes trembled violently again. In this era, the halberd was the main combat weapon of northern infantry. In front of him, several tiger and leopard cavalry were running out with their halberds on their backs, and their leather boots trampled on the ground with heavy footprints.

…………

The plan to go to the city to rest was ruined. Even the elite was as strong as the tiger and leopard cavalry, his morale was slightly depressed. The little sissy looked a little depressed. He buckled his helmet and said nothing, but stepped on the steep stirrup he made. Wang Hou lowered his head and thought about the scene he had just experienced.

It seems that everyone has the possibility of attacking, but the first person who was ruled out was the bandits reported by Cao Hongjie. Even if the great wise and good teacher Zhang Jiao was reborn, he would not have the face to let the county magistrate Chen Quan accompany him to welcome Xiang County Government. The only one who committed the crime was an acquaintance within the Han army.

It is possible for Lu Bu! He had been flirting with Yuan Shu, but he almost married his daughter to Yuan Shu. Besides, he had lost his lips and cold teeth. He attacked Cao's army from behind and obstructed Cao Cao from attacking Yuan Shu, which relieved his situation in Xuzhou.

However, Lu Bu is also the least suspicious. After all, it is not far from here, the border of Xuzhou. The first person to be suspected is him. Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have formed an alliance and are using the emperor to command the princes. This is when no one is in the limelight. It is too stupid to provoke Boss Cao at this time. In comparison, he is more like a perfect framed person.

The second person suspected is Liu Bei, who also has this motive for murder! It seems that Ping'acheng was slaughtered, but the supply line he came from Xuzhou was cut off. He is the victim! But from another perspective, this is the city captured by Prime Minister Cao of the slaughter, and he killed his officials. This hatred of Cao Cao must be recorded.

At this time, Liu Bei and Prime Minister Cao were standing in the same way to attack Yuan Shu, who rebelled against the emperor. His retreat was still slaughtered, and the suspicion was naturally washed away. He was flirting with Yuan Shu, and at this time, Lu Bu, who had preserved his strength and did not send out one soldiers, naturally became the first suspect!

Liu Bei and Lu Bu had a great grudge. Liu Bei was sent by Gongsun Zan to help Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. After Tao Qian died, he passed the position to Liu Bei! At that time, Lu Bu had just been beaten out of Yanzhou by Prime Minister Cao like a dog. Liu Bei took in Lu Bu and placed him in Xiaopei. But while Liu Bei went south to fight with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, the ungrateful wolf, seized Xuzhou under Yuan Shu's instigation. If Yuan Shu had not given food according to the alliance and annoyed Lu Bu, he might have killed him.

But even so, the Xuzhou master had become Lu Bu's subordinate in shame, and the guest and guest changed positions, and he was sent to Xiaopei to defend the border again.

Liu Bei's hatred for Lu Bu and the scene in Baimen Tower was vividly reflected. Lu Bu expressed his willingness to surrender and lead the cavalry for Cao Cao. Cao Cao was hesitant and went to ask Liu Bei. However, the emperor asked Dong Zhuo Dingyuan in a gentle manner. Wen Yan strengthened Cao Cao's determination to kill Lu Bu. After Lu Bu's death, Liu Bei, who was dependent on Cao Cao, briefly regained his rule over Xuzhou.

As for whether the respected Uncle Liu could do the foul-poaching city, a terrible dirty thing, Wang Hou didn't think about it at all. None of them could make a fortune in the melee of warlords at the end of the Han Dynasty.

But there is another possibility, but Wang Hou didn't dare to think about it anymore after just thinking about it at the beginning.

The one who was killed was Chen Quan! He, the county magistrate, welcomed him to the city respectfully! Huainan has a severe drought this year, and it will be harmful and unprofitable to be entangled with Yuan Shu! Five thousand stones of grain are not too much, but not too little. If it is transferred from Xuzhou to Shouchun City, the battle may be over! But Cao Cao attached surprising importance to it! The opportunity of the war drew fifty heavy cavalry to follow him to "chasing the dirty"! He also sent his confidants around him!
