Chapter 2342 How many souls can be buried in a pit
I often see people sighing, saying that if he worked harder when he was a child and didn''t fall into the pit of laziness, he must be what he should be now. When it comes to emotions, his nose is red and tears are full, and then what? , After finishing talking on the wine table and returning home, looking at the books for further study on the table, he just hesitated a little, and then lay down on the bed again, the sky is big, the sleep is the biggest, those books and so on will be read tomorrow. It''s never too late to see!
Zhao Kuo must have been familiar with military books before going into battle, and he is familiar with all the pitfalls in military affairs, and everyone knows what happened after that. It''s like everyone who drives on the road doesn''t want to encounter a car accident, but on the road, he will either see others encounter it or encounter it himself.
Those who fell into the pit are really stupid, how could I fall into the pit? This is obviously a pit, how could someone jump into it? Anyway, other people dance, I can''t dance...
Before the incident happened, the children of the Jingxiang gentry thought the same way.
These gentry children in Jingxiang never thought that they would encounter such a situation. They should be wearing brocade robes and scarves, and E Guanbo with big sleeves floating high in the hall, talking freely, how can they be with the mud and sand like they are now, and even be pushed and trampled?
It shouldn''t be like this!
Everything in front of me is a tragedy!
On weekdays, most of them only know how to play tricks, and most of them are relatively weak in physique. Coupled with the stimulation of alcohol, their reaction nerves are also slow. As long as they stagger their steps, they may be knocked down, and then countless big feet will trample on them. come up...
By the time Cao Zhen found out that the situation was wrong, a serious stampede had already occurred.
Before the government office, more than a dozen people were trampled to death on the spot, and more than 20 people were injured in varying severity. The wailing resounded through the entire block for a while.
Of course, such a scene is nothing compared to the cruelty on the battlefield, but for these Jingxiang gentry children, it caused an uproar.
Cao Cao didn''t do anything to criticize people, and Fei Qian didn''t do anything to those who directly admonish him. You little Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, who doesn''t have much beard, how dare you do anything to a noble son? !
When the children and grandchildren are killed or injured, the parents come out.
My son and grandson are usually reluctant to be beaten or lose a hair, and now they died before the government for no reason. Should there be an explanation?
When Liu Biao was about to perish, we did not choose to vote for Sun Quan, nor did we choose to go to the pass to find Feiqian. Instead, we wholeheartedly flattered General Cao, and we did our best to supply grain, grass and utensils to Yuzhou. Now we have achieved such a result ?
Does Mrs. Cao want to give an explanation? If you don''t give an explanation, how can you calm down this tone? If he endured this, wouldn''t he be arbitrarily rubbed and acted recklessly by the Cao family in the future? We must know that this world is still the world of the big man, not the world of the Cao family!
Of course, there are many ways to "give an explanation"...
Now that things have happened, Cao Ren has two choices, one is to forcibly suppress him, and the other is to appease him immediately.
How to choose?
Actually, at this moment, no matter how you choose, it is wrong. It''s just more or less wrong.
Cao Ren pressed his right thumb on his temple to prevent it from jumping wildly, and then said slowly: "This matter is quite strange..."
Yes, definitely something is wrong. Normally, the evolution of the situation would have a process, or a harbinger, just like the superior inspection would notify in advance, but this incident broke out almost in the blink of an eye, and then caught everyone by surprise.
『The General’s meaning is...』 Cao Zhen said, 『Someone is planning behind this matter? 』
Cao Ren raised his head, closed his eyes and pondered, and said after a while: "I remembered something..."
Without waiting for Cao Zhen to ask, Cao Ren continued to speak slowly, "In the old days, under the hussars, there was a time when a crowd gathered to make trouble... In Chang''an, there was also a commotion and chaos, and there were countless blood on the streets..."
『Hiss...』Cao Zhen took a breath, and said with some hesitation, "So... I heard...it was..."
Cao Ren nodded, then his eyes turned slightly cold. "Order! Open the government office and let people come in! 』
This matter cannot be avoided, only faced, and the sooner it is resolved, the better.
A group of people entered the hall, some were still courteous, while others were cold-eyed.
Cao Ren didn''t say much. After letting everyone sit down, he said: "Everyone, this time I made a mistake. I was not strict under a certain... Zidan!" Step forward and make amends! 』
Cao Zhen didn’t say anything else, he stepped forward to pay homage to everyone, “It’s really not handled properly, and the second and third sons were unfortunately injured, so I’m here to make an apology to everyone!” After saluting, he stood up and stepped back.
Among the people sitting in the hall, some were stunned, some frowned, and some still stared with anger, but these people were basically of a certain age, and even if they had some thoughts, they would not immediately look like ants. Jumping up like a grasshopper, he just waited silently for Cao Ren''s follow-up, because as long as he has a normal thinking, he must know that things are definitely not that simple.
Sure enough, after Cao Zhen retreated to the back, Cao Ren looked around and said, "Spies have entered the city...you guys, you are full of talents...hehe, maybe not necessarily, but you must be a reasonable person who knows how to judge things..."
"Now it''s just based on one or two pieces of news, so that people can gather in front of the government office to cause trouble, beat court officials to death, and provoke military generals..." Although Cao Ren still had a slight smile on his face, his tone gradually turned cold. "And you have to coerce Yu X, bow your head and admit your mistake, otherwise you will not give up, and you will die if you die?" 』
Cao Ren''s voice wasn''t high-pitched, nor was it very loud, but it was like thunder, rolling across the hall, shaking everyone.
For a family, perhaps the death of a descendant in the family is an unbearable tragedy, but for these old people who represent the entire family, they have seen too many people die on the way, and For a family, one or two people die...
Well, that''s what happened.
The important thing is to see if you can get more benefits.
The Cai family did not participate, nor did the Kuai family, and the rest were local aborigines, large and small.
After the incident, the speakers of the gentry also noticed something strange to some extent, but these people would not take the initiative to speak out, until Cao Ren clarified the matter, they exchanged glances with each other, and then remained silent.
Even the elderly are sometimes provoked, not to mention those young gentry children who eat and drink most of the day.
Maybe it’s not exactly abetment, it’s just the twisted guidance of the crowd.
When a group of people are together and doing similar things every day, it is easy to form a herd mentality. That is to say, at certain moments, you will lose your individual thinking ability, or completely violate your original ideas, make your own speech or behavior consistent with the group, and fear that your out-of-the-box behavior will be rejected by the group.
Scientists have done experiments. In the experimental data, the probability of herd behavior is about 33%, which is one-third. Moreover, among these people who follow the crowd, there will be perception distortions, judgment distortions, and behavioral fallacies that know that other people are wrong and will still follow suit.
This kind of psychology has nothing to do with age, and it has little to do with male and female gender. It is only related to personal willpower. This kind of herd mentality does not mean admiring the kind of stubbornness that does not hit the wall and does not look back, but blind obedience that knows mistakes but feels that the law does not blame the public.
Such as running a red light, such as campus bullying.
Another example is that these gentry children, at the beginning, turned to Cao Cao without thinking, and then found that they had made a mistake in their judgment, and then they didn''t consider it to be their own problem, but attributed the root cause to Cao Cao. With a bang, he started to stand on the opposite side of Cao Cao again.
It''s like those people who jumped repeatedly in some theories or certain blogs in later generations. Being guided by the lurking navy, I hurriedly criticized this, then reversed and quickly deleted the post, and then went to the other side to curse the other...
Cao Ren looked around, looked at each person''s face one by one, discerned the expressions of each person, and then said: "Someone suspects that Jiangdong spies have entered the city and are preparing to make trouble!" Therefore, please check first, and report any suspicious persons immediately! In addition, there will be inspections inside and outside the city, and some gatherings are strictly prohibited during this period! I hope you all know! 』
Everyone in the hall, you look at me, I look at you. Under the influence of the herd mentality again, no one stood up first, and naturally no one objected.
Just when Cao Ren ordered the search of the whole city, on the hillside of Nanshan outside Xiangyang City, there were three or four people looking back. Although there were some figures shaking in Xiangyang City, there was not much chaos.
"Pity…"
『It’s not a pity, even if Cao Zixiao escaped this time, hehe…』
『However, since the blood is flowing, there is a gap, and there is a gap, haha, go, go...」
… ヽ()()…
Different from Jingxiang''s verbal curse here, in Chengdu, Li Miao led his soldiers to the outside of Liu Zhang''s courtyard in the dark.
More than a hundred torches are burning brightly, reflecting everything around them, pushing the darkness back, but the darkness is still relentlessly hiding in every corner, hiding in the corners of the walls and courtyards, watching, just like being in the present moment. Like those people secretly watching here on both sides of the street.
Li''s family declared that Xu Shu rebelled and marched into Chengdu. When the incident happened suddenly, no one could figure out what the situation was and how chaotic it was going to be. Naturally, no one knew what the situation would be like. result.
This pool of water is no longer as simple as turbidity, but there are countless dark waves hidden in it, like a dragon or two that will pop out at any time! If the dragon is capable of transforming into a dragon, there will naturally be thunder and thunder accompanying him. If the Tao is not enough, the thunder and thunder will probably fall on the dragon...
At this time, if you are not a very ambitious person, you should stick to your family. Anyway, you should get through this uncertain and unstable time first, and then decide your own position after the dust settles.
Facing this situation, Li Miao felt a little restless. He originally thought that if he roared, there would be a hundred responses in the follow-up, but now...
Although the Chengdu government office was taken down, Dong and Dong Yun, who were originally planned, and the seals that should have been in the government office, are all gone!
Although it is covered with a radish badge now, as soon as the real product shows up, it will definitely be troublesome!
So Li Miao naturally needs to bring out the real ones to ensure that there will be no internal chaos...
Before Li Miao waved his hand, the door of Liu Zhang''s courtyard opened with a bang.
The lights in the yard were flickering, and two or three servants tied Liu Zhang out of it, and then knelt on the ground in a panic and kowtowed...
this…
Li Miao couldn''t help being stunned.
As the former lord of Sichuan and Shu, Liu Zhang has been in business for several years. Although Liu Zhang lost his power, everyone rebelled against his relatives, but when things came to an end, he couldn''t even find one or two loyal protectors. It''s tied up, it really makes people feel a lot of emotion.
It is a failure to be a man who has achieved Liu Zhang''s step...
Li Miao sometimes thinks, and wonders, that Liu Zhang has been reduced to this level, and he can''t make up his mind to fight? Could it be that Liu Yan didn''t teach Liu Zhang any family lessons? After all, this is the clan of the Han Dynasty!
Aha, the clan of the Han Dynasty!
Aha, royal blood...
There was an indescribable smile on Li Miao''s face.
That''s right, when Li Miao approached Liu Zhang secretly, Liu Zhang didn''t even dare to come forward, he didn''t even dare to say a slightly more certain promise, he just blindly evaded and procrastinated.
Originally, Li Miao thought that it was not necessary for Liu Zhang to come forward. After all, if Dong He could be captured, and the tokens such as the seals and seals in the city could be collected, then he could order other counties in a grand manner. It would be better to have Liu Zhang , It would not be bad without the name of Liu Zhang.
But the problem is that when Li Miao captured the Chengdu government office, he found that there was only an empty shell left in the government office!
This made Li Miao''s heart suddenly empty! Li Miao even wondered if he had been tricked! After thinking about it, Li Miao felt that maybe he had tested Dong He before, so that Dong He had prepared in advance...
While cursing Dong He for being so fast, Li Miao ordered a search of Dong He''s whereabouts on the one hand, but on the other hand he had to consider adopting the second plan. After stabilizing the situation a little, he couldn''t wait. Come and ask Liu Zhang to come forward,
Maybe it was because they came in the middle of the night, maybe it was because of the confusion of soldiers, or maybe some other reason, the few handymen and servants who remained in Liu Zhang''s courtyard thought that Li Miao was coming to trouble Liu Zhang, so they went first Moved for Li Miao and tied Liu Zhang out.
That''s fine, Li Miao thought that he would have to spend some time, at least to spend some talking to get Liu Zhang to open the door, but he didn''t expect that it would save time.
『Come on! Li Miao yelled loudly, and pointed his halberd at those handymen and servants, "Arrest these disloyal and unrighteous people, slaves who harmed the Lord!" 』
Several soldiers rushed up and arrested the servants who thought they had made great contributions...
Li Miao took a few steps forward, pulled out the long sword at his waist, cut the rope on Liu Zhang''s body himself, and then knelt down on the ground: "I am late in welcoming you, and I have caused you to suffer great humiliation. You deserve death." ! I hope you will forgive me! 』
While speaking, Li Miao winked at the soldiers beside him. The guards knew it, and beheaded the servants and servants on the spot, and then held the **** heads to Liu Zhang.
Looking at those heads, Liu Zhang suddenly felt sick. He couldn''t help but raised his sleeves, closed his eyes and turned his head.
『These traitors have already been crowned! Please be at ease son! When Li Miao saw Liu Zhang''s action, he sneered in his heart, but he didn''t show it on his face, "Xu Shu is in trouble now, Sichuan and Shu have no master, please come to the mansion quickly, and preside over the grand plan!" 』
Liu Zhang was at a loss, his mind went blank.
...
When Li Miao found Liu Zhang before, although Liu Zhang said that he was dissatisfied with the status quo and had a hard life, but Liu Zhang didn''t have the guts to make Liu Zhang ruthless and take risks. According to Liu Zhang''s thinking, it''s a dangerous thing for others to go to, and then he can just stay behind, so Liu Zhang neither refused nor reported, and even had some faint expectations deep in his heart.
But after Li Miao started to attack, Liu Zhang panicked again. He was afraid that he would be implicated, and even began to worry about whether Li Miao would kill him, so Liu Zhang murmured to himself when he stayed in the courtyard, but he was killed. The handymen and servants heard this, and thought it was Liu Zhang who had offended Li Miao, so when Li Miao came, it was a farce to tie Liu Zhang out.
Li Miao could see the change of expression on Liu Zhang''s face. He saluted Liu Zhang respectfully, "Seeing that the young master is safe, I feel relieved... Now that the situation is urgent, please hurry up and settle the chaos!" 』
Liu Zhang couldn''t react, "Hey, what''s going on here?" Where are you going? To calm down the chaos, what''s going on? 』
Li Miao was still smiling, "Master! What are you worried about, son? Now that Thief Xu is rebelling and causing disasters in Sichuan, the young master should set things right... Could it be that the young master is still willing to stay in this courtyard and let these miscellaneous servants decide life and death? 』
Looking at the several **** heads not far from his feet, Liu Zhang''s expression inevitably became a little ferocious, but even so, he still held his head in distress, and couldn''t give up no matter what.
Li Miao waited quietly for a while, shaking his head in his heart.
This noble son is really not very good looking. This has been proven time and time again.
But that''s okay, if Liu Zhang is too wise and decisive, he might not be easy to manipulate into a qualified puppet.
Now that things are going on, he thinks he still has a choice?
You have to do it if you do it, or you have to do it if you don’t do it!
Li Miao waved his hand, and instead of waiting for Liu Zhang to speak, he directly ordered loudly: "Now, under the order of your son, lead us to rescue the people in Chengdu, the people of Sichuan and Sichuan, and lead the soldiers in Sichuan to quell the chaos!" The young master is loyal and courageous, expelling Xu Ni, he is a role model for my generation, from the beginning, I swear to die for the young master! 』
『Die for the son! 』
Regardless of whether it was to die from death or laugh at death, under Li Miao''s order, several personal guards immediately rushed up, set Liu Zhang up in a hurry, surrounded him and walked forward, and some people brought armor , While walking, he put on clothes for Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang wanted to refuse subconsciously, but there were thick men all around him, how could Liu Zhang break free with his small arms and thin legs?
At this point, Liu Zhang could only resign himself to his fate and sigh, and said to Li Miao who was beside him, "It''s okay, it''s okay...you, just don''t hurt me!" Now a certain life is placed in your hands, but it is thousands of thousands, don''t let me down...』
Li Miao smiled, lowered his head and bowed, "Of course I won''t harm you...Young master, please rest assured..."
