Chapter 84 Nannan Wang Hua said to Guo Zhiyun: "Let's go out of the city to see the militia." If we really attack Chang'an, we need to expand the army. They can only be drawn from the militia. We have recently acquired a lot of people, and we can further draw some people from them to serve as reserve teams. However, this task is difficult. Most of them are newly conquered and have not received any benefits. They are not very loyal to the blood camp. This gave Wang Hua a headache. Zhang said he also chased him out. Wang Hua looked at him and sighed: "Shilang Zhang, I am very touched by your loyalty. However, I am not alone now. If I were alone, I would go overseas and become an overseas king. But what should I do with so many brothers? What should I do with so many people? Who are they working for? " "But, but." "Shilang Zhang, I'm not doing this just to be Liu Yu. Persecution will pour cold water on some people. Of course, if the court forces you one step further, the consequences will increase. Just like me, you should know in your heart that I only want Taozhou, Linzhou and Diezhou in the south. These are the eight. If I really wanted to be Liu Yu, the army would have already moved to the north of Weiqin and other states just to get the north of Xiazhou. I believe you understand why. The imperial court is betraying the country. Since it was sold to the Turks, I have to take it back for the imperial court. But now it will definitely not be just these few states. Mr. Zhu also told you to inform the imperial court. If pressed, I will attack. If pressed again, I will finally fight against Chang'an and Luoyang. Of course, if the court fights with me, I will not mind overthrowing the court and rebuilding a strong dynasty." "But. " "Shilang Zhang, don't worry. To put it more clearly, even if you go back and persuade me, it will have no effect. Instead, I will miss the opportunity to fight. By then, there will be more soldiers killed and injured, not only from the blood camp, but also from the imperial court. I am doing this now to let them calm down, and then there will be hope for reconciliation." When Wang Hua said that it had reached this point, Zhang said there was nothing he could do. But what he was saying in his heart was that it won¡¯t end just as you want. If you really occupy Qin Wei in Hanzhong, your territory will become larger and larger, and your generals will also be unable to contain their ambitions. Just like Guo Zhiyun and Wang Junchuo just now, they were both aggressive towards themselves. "But Zhang said he also resented the imperial court's mediocrity. Whose idea was this? Doesn't the emperor have any sense at all? After the group left the city, the militiamen were training on a Gobi desert not far outside the city. There are many training items, including archery, fighting between horses and dismounts, riding, following orders, cooperation between soldiers, and horsemanship. As well as some basic events, such as running, squatting, standing in line, etc. The amount of training is also very large, no less than that of the regular army. Zhang said he glanced at it. "But Wang Hua knew clearly that there was a big difference. After all, the militiamen were supplemented by training and mainly engaged in farming and animal husbandry. Moreover, they are rarely useful in frontal combat. When faced with enemy weapons, their morale is not as strong as that of regular soldiers. But these militiamen are very hardworking. It's not a matter of treatment. Apart from providing weapons, the militiamen don't get any other treatment. It's just that the spoils of war are divided very little because of their low military exploits. The regular army did not receive much treatment, but after these few great victories, they received a lot of spoils. This stimulated the hearts of the militiamen, and they practiced hard one by one, hoping to be taken away by the regular army. Even if he died in battle, the blood camp's pension would be very generous, so he wouldn't have to worry about his family's funeral. After watching for a while, Wang Hua went back and still had to negotiate. But this time Zhang Shuo will not be allowed to participate. Walking back along a newly dug canal, the canal is covered with patches of sand willows. The grass on the canal embankment is green, and from time to time I see a few sheep grazing. At this time, Wang Hua saw a puff of green smoke rising from the bottom of the embankment. Walking over, I saw three children grilling a fish. A little girl, ** years old, and two little boys, one six or seven years old, the other five or six years old. They all looked very cute. The little girl was flipping the fish on the hook. The two little boys watched the fish gradually turn golden yellow, drooling from their mouths. There is also a small harpoon on the side. This reminded Wang Hua of the time he spent with Dafeng, Sanfeng and Sifeng when he was a child. He walked over gently and stood behind them, watching with interest. At this time, the little girl raised her eyes, saw them, and got up in panic. Seeing that the fish on the hook fell into the fire, Wang Hua stretched out his hand to catch it, handed it to the little girl, and asked: "He Damn it, what's your name?" The little girl looked at Wang Hua in fear, pinching the corner of her clothes and not daring to speak. Wang Hua looked at the water in the canal. The water in the canal was very clear and not very deep. You could see one or two pieces of water in it from time to time.A fish is swimming, probably from upstream of the Yellow River. This little girl probably used this harpoon to spear the fish from this small canal. You can also see some moisture on the corners of her pants. So he said again: "Fuck, look at me." Then he picked up the harpoon and stood by the canal, breathing heavily. This is something he is familiar with. When he was young, his family was poor and he often did these things. But at that time, I had little strength and lacked the vision, so I didn¡¯t gain much. There are dozens of people in the blood camp who are also familiar with this. Zhang Xiaosong and his party are lucky to be fishing, otherwise they would not be able to come back. Gradually, a fish swam over, its tail shining golden. It turned out to be a big red carp weighing two or three pounds. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Wang Hua¡¯s hand lifts and falls, which also requires skill. It¡¯s not just about eyesight, but also the refraction of light, so it requires a certain amount of experience. Wang Hua's fork hit the target, only catching the tail. The carp struggled in the canal, turning the river water into a layer of turbidity. Lu Ergou jumped down and caught the fish. Wang Hua took it and handed it to the little girl. The little girl happily handed the hook to the older boy and took the fish. "Damn it, can you tell me your name this time?" "My name is Nannan." "How delicious is it if you don't sprinkle any salt on the grilled fish?" "It's delicious." "Where are your adults? "Mom went to work, and we were watching the sheep." Wang Hua turned around and looked at the shore, where six or seven goats were grazing. "What about your father?" "Father is in a box." Wang Hua listened in silence for a while, then asked: "Is there anyone else in your family?" "Grandpa is also in the box." Wang Hua once again Be silent. Nannan asked: "Uncle, what did mom mean when she said they went to another world? Can they come back?" Wang Hua couldn't answer. He asked instead: "When did they get into that box?" "Grandpa is Last year, the Tubo people fell asleep in the box and then they didn¡¯t get up. My father also beat the Turks and didn¡¯t get up. Uncle, do you have a way to get them up?¡± Wang Hua then understood why the three children were herding sheep. Catch fish and eat. Although the pension is very generous, it is not easy for a woman to raise three children. If the burden is heavy, life at home will not be very good. Children, just like me when we were young, are inevitably greedy. But Wang Hua's eyes flashed with a layer of mist. How to put it, one general's achievements are worth ten thousand bones. Although the record is brilliant, many soldiers died in the blood camp. Moreover, if it is spread to more than 600,000 people, it is a frightening number. I believe many families have begun to wear sackcloth and mourn. "Uncle, why are you crying?" "I'm not crying. I'll grill the fish for you, okay?" "Okay." "You can find some seasoning for me." Wang Hua said to the guard beside him. Wang Hua carefully cut the fish scales cleanly with a knife and roasted them carefully on the fire. After a while, the guard came back on horseback, holding some salt, pepper, and a small bag of chili powder. Wang Hua rubbed salt and pepper on both sides of the fish, flipped it and grilled it again, and then asked: "Can I eat chili peppers?" "Yes, my father brought this red thing. It is delicious." It was probably the cold weather in the north, people I have no aversion to spicy food. When the little girl saw the pepper, her eyes shone with joy. Wang Hua smeared the chili powder on it, then cut it into pieces with a knife and handed them to the three children. The three children happily took it and said while eating: "It's so fragrant and delicious." "Eat slowly and don't burn it." This scene was a bit touching, and Zhang said his eyes were also moist. He said in his heart that although the Eight Prefectures were beautiful, many people did die in the battle. However, he was a little surprised, because this chance encounter finally touched Wang Hua's deeply buried kindness in his heart. There may be hope for help. Then Zhu Tong's eyes became serious. Wang Hua watched them finish eating and then said: "Nanny, do you want to eat something more delicious?" "Yes." "Where is your mother?" "She is over there." The little girl pointed with her hand, and there was something in the distance. There were many flowers on a small hillside, and there were faintly some women picking flowers. Her mother was probably one of them. ¡°Can you take me to find her?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not possible, IMom said she wanted me to stay here and not leave, but to keep an eye on the sheep and take care of my brother. " Wang Hua said to a guard beside him: "You stay here and take good care of these children. Don't let them play in the water anymore. Also, when her mother came back, she asked her if she agreed that I would adopt these children as adopted sons. " "No. " Wang Hua walked ashore, feeling a little heavy. Zhu Tong said in a low voice: "Compassion does not control soldiers. " Once Wang Hua carries this burden, his command level will be seriously reduced due to the shadow in his heart when he directs operations in the future. "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, I am not Ashoka. " "Who is Ashoka? "Zhu Tong asked strangely. "A king of Tianzhu for more than nine hundred years. When he was governor, he used bloody methods to suppress rebellions. Then he killed ninety-nine brothers before fighting for the throne (this is an exaggeration, just like King Wen of Zhou had a hundred sons, but he killed many brothers). After he came to the throne, he did not repent of his cruel and murderous style. He used the most vicious and cruel officials to set up hell on earth and managed to harm the people. And he conquered Bobaro and other countries with iron and blood methods. It was not until the expedition across the sea to the Jilinga Kingdom that 100,000 people were killed and 150,000 were taken captive. Ashoka was shocked by the scene of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. He began to repent of Buddhism and completely changed his ruling strategy. "After listening, everyone was very disdainful. "Only 100,000 people died tragically. There are hundreds of battles in Chinese history in which more than 100,000 people died tragically. Some battles, such as the Battle of Chibi Feishui, determined the fate of the recent past. Hundreds of people live and die. But they don¡¯t know about Tianzhu. Historically, Tianzhu refers to the northern half, which is also the most civilized area. The southern half is like Siberia in northern China, where primitive tribes live and there are basically no people. One hundred thousand people were nothing in China, but in India before the Tang Dynasty, it was a very large number. After Wang Hua finished speaking, he said: "I just fight, and the ultimate goal is for everyone. Live a good life, don't fight for war's sake like Black Ashoka. " He said it harshly, but Wang Hua was a little touched by the three sisters. So after returning home, he issued an order to pull Shi Yugen out of the iron cage and behead him directly. There was no more Torture, anyway, his two younger brothers died in the blood camp. So Zhang said that he would strike while the iron was hot. Wang Hua stared at him for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll give you twenty days." But I only promise you that my army will not attack Lingnan. There is still food that must be collected in cages. I will ask Xiao Yaxuan and the others to gather the food on the sandbar in the Yangtze River. If the court still forces me, I will let them burn all the food even if it doesn't sink into the river. But I promise you that I will not deliberately manipulate public opinion to drive up food prices. As for the Blood Camp, I won't attack Shaanzhou, but I can't just let it go. I will still send troops to attack Wei, Qin and other states. If the negotiation is successful, I will return some states and counties to the imperial court. That's my bottom line. " Qin, Wei, Han and other prefectures and counties, Wang Hua must capture, not to expand the land, but for food and related supplies. Zhang said that he also knew that this was Wang Hua's real bottom line. So he left. There were only twenty days. There was no time to lose even a minute. But Wang Hua pulled him back and said, "I'll give you a gift. " "what gift? " "You take Zong Chuke and the other three back. " "Shilang Wang, why did you do this? "Zhang said that he jumped up. Liu Jingren and Xue Sijian were a little better. Zong Chu's guests must not be taken back. Once they are taken back, it will undoubtedly bring trouble to Chao Gang. After finally catching Lingzhou, it is better to let them fend for themselves. "Shilang Zhang, you worry about what? There is no Zong Chuke in the imperial court, but there are also Zhang Chuke and Wang Chuke. Seeing it, Zong Chuke grabbed him from the front, but Ji Chune and Zong Jinqing from behind ignored the influence of public opinion and moved back. "The root cause is not Zong Chuke. He is not Wu Sansi, he is a grassroots class. Just like how much power he has now, will the court truly surrender to him? Therefore, if Weishi is not eradicated, the court will never be There is no peace. One after another, Zong Chuke still appears, or they think Wu Sansi is a disaster, but after Wu Sansi's death, the court has not changed for the better, but it cannot make the Zong worse. Chu Ke was brought back, and Zhang said he was standing there in a daze. At this time, the guards brought back Nannan, her two younger brothers, and a young woman. This young woman was about twenty-five or six years old, and she looked quite pretty. But maybe because of the new death of her husband, her face looks a little haggard.She was working hard, her face was a little dark, and she stood in the living room a little embarrassed. The three children looked at everything in the living room excitedly. Nannan said: "Uncle, your home is so beautiful." In fact, it is not extravagant, but it is definitely much more beautiful than this woman's home. Li Hong and the others heard that Wang Hua recognized three adopted sons, so they ran over to see them. Wang Hua stretched out a gesture to the woman: "Sister-in-law, please sit down." Looking back, he saw Zhang Shuo still standing there, and he said in a dumbfounded voice: "Shilang Zhang, are you still here to eat? No. You made a mistake, you only have twenty days." "I know, but I still won't take these three people back." "I said, Sir Zhang, why are you such a smart person so stupid? I'm trying my best? It's not that the emperor wants to fight, it's someone and some people who saw Zong Chuke's fate and thought that I wouldn't give them a chance to survive. So you think I want to free this treacherous official by holding a country to death. ? Only by releasing him, reducing these people's concerns, and taking a step back can everyone reach an agreement. " Wang Hua also wanted to take a breath. As long as he regains his temper, not to mention there is one Zong Chuke in the court, there are a hundred Zong Chuke, he has the ability to kill them alive during the Guan Jian period. But without this buffer, there is no way for the two sides to reconcile. I believe that if there is a treacherous minister in a court, the reconciliation between the two parties will carry more weight. Zhang said that he should understand. Zhang said he had come to his senses, but he smiled bitterly. Wang Hua's idea was good, but now that Zong Jinqing and Ji Chune were transferred back, plus Zhu Wei and Zong Chuke, the court was like suffering from syphilis. Finally, he said with a bitter smile: "Why didn't you kill them in the first place? If you kill them, nothing will happen?" "Don't worry, it's going to be daybreak." Wang Hua patted Zhang Shuo on the shoulder and sent him away. Got out. Then he called a few more fast horses and asked the guards to open the iron cage. Zong Chuke came out of the iron cage, and Liu Jingren and the other three were in shock. After a long time, Zong Chuke said: "Shilang Zhang, it was you who saved me, or the emperor who saved me?" Zhang said he was not angry at all. no answer. At this time, Zhu Tong came over and said to Zong Chuke: "Our camp governor has said that I will spare your life this time and be a conscientious person when you go back. Otherwise, this good thing will not happen next time. Then you Just wait for the car to break." "That's it, that's it." After being imprisoned for a long time, all the energy has been flattened, and all the backbone has been lost. Besides, what kind of backbone does he have? He would be willing to wipe Wang Hua's ass immediately after escaping from death. Zhang said angrily: "Get on the horse." The three guys got on the horse. Zhang said that he thought they would slow down his speed, but he didn't expect that after being imprisoned for so many days, after they got on the horse, they could run faster than himself. quick. No matter what, let¡¯s escape from Wang Hua¡¯s jurisdiction first. Standing on the top of the city, Zhu Tong looked at Wang Hua and said, "Erlang, you made a good move." "It's not a good move, but the emperor is going to die soon." Wang Hua stared at the eastern sky and said. []
