Chapter 2399 Information Cocoon Room


    In Chang''an, while Feiqian was thinking about the future direction of the army at the Lecture Hall, Xu County, another administrative center of the Han Dynasty, was also discussing matters related to the army.


    "Now the battle between Qingxu and Qingxu is fierce. The Jiangdong rebel army has successively increased its troops, and its army has reached nearly one hundred thousand... auxiliary troops, transporting grain and grass, tens of thousands of auxiliary troops, the total number may be 150,000..."


    "New reinforcements arrived from Jiangdong, and Xiapi was besieged for several days...According to military reports, the bandits from Jiangdong dug up earth and surrounded it. The earth wall was higher than the Xiapi city wall, and arrows rained across the sky...Xiapi was full of fighting spirit. Fearing a strong enemy, we killed and wounded thousands of Jiangdong bandits... However, our army also suffered many losses..."


    ?In the Chongde Hall, Emperor Liu Xie was staring at the map, listening to others'' accounts, and imagining the battle of Qingxu in his mind.


    These others are, of course, a group of "lovers" headed by Xi Liu.


    After Xi Xiang came to Xu County, he quickly adapted to life here, and even felt a little like a fish in water.


    Sweet air, familiar atmosphere. There are no annoying and disgusting exams, only "high-quality" people, wearing luxurious clothes and exquisite jade jewelry, relaxed and comfortable.


    The key is that there are still people who keep inviting Xi You to the banquet, and then he only needs to tell a few specious information about the Hussars during the banquet, especially revealing some of the "dirty and messy" situation of Chang''an Sanfu. It has been highly recognized by many people and even praised beyond imagination.


    "Enlightened" thinking, a fighter who dares to speak the "truth"...


    A banquet, a souvenir as a thank you after the banquet, 20,000 yuan.


    A longer cultural gathering would still require 50,000 yuan to start.


    ??If we were to tell another "anecdote" about the Hussars and joke about the three assistants in Guanzhong, it would still require an appearance fee of 100,000 yuan to invite Xi Liu...


    It’s beautiful.


    How long have you been in Xu County? Xi Lu has become noticeably fairer and tenderer. I can’t even wear my original clothes, but it doesn’t matter. Now the money coming in is like running water, so I can buy new clothes, new decorations, and new brocade robes!


    At the beginning, Xi Xiu felt a little awkward. After all, he had to pick bones from the eggs, which was somewhat uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but after a while, he got used to it. Can''t there be bones in the egg? Not only does it have bones, but it also has hair! There are eyes, feet, a heart, liver, spleen and stomach!


    Otherwise, why would you call it a hairy egg?


    As for whether these new clothes and new decorations were produced in Sanfu, Guanzhong and northern Sichuan, these people and Xi Li ignored them.


    "Your Majesty... Xiapi is guarding Xiapi with the city. I am determined to surround Xiapi and not lose it... If Xiapi can be defended, our army will be greatly strengthened, and the Jiangdong bandit army will not be able to stay long... they will retreat when their food supplies are exhausted..."


    “The general will march into Xiapi in the near future, and by then a battle will definitely turn the tide of the war in Xiapi...”


    『The general raised one hundred thousand troops and wanted to join forces with Jiangdong''s children to hunt Yu Yang. He already won three points without a fight...』


    After Xi Xiu finished speaking, the rest of the people also spoke one after another, waving their long sleeves, as if Jiangdong Army would be wiped out in the next moment.


    The emperor Liu Xie listened and nodded a little excitedly. Although he could not personally visit the battlefield and command the fighting, hearing these battle reports could allow Liu Xie to satisfy part of his fantasies. He nodded repeatedly, looked at the map and said: " The memorial that the general sent a few days ago also said that the rebellion in Jiangdong will be put down soon... In fact, I..."


    Liu Xie suddenly stopped mid-sentence. The surrounding "lovers" were waiting respectfully, as if they were willing to wait until eternity.


    "Actually, I don''t want to see this..." Liu Xie let out a long sigh, "After all the beatings, aren''t they all Han people?" What do these people want to do? When I think of how many people were displaced during the war, my heart...cannot calm down..."


    Your Majesty is wise! 』


    『If the great man wins the emperor in this way, the people will also have great blessings! 』


    『Your Majesty’s benevolence and virtue are unparalleled, comparable to those of Yao and Shun during his lifetime! 』


    …


    A messy compliment.


    Amid these boasts, Liu Xie shook his head. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a little dizzy from being praised, or because I already like the sound of such boasting...


    In later generations, education scholars often argue endlessly about whether education should be appreciated or criticized, whether strict education or encouraging education should be adopted. They can even give each other ten thousand examples to accuse each other of their mistakes, but most of them In most cases, when these experts debate or criticize each other''s position, they forget, or deliberately forget, a major premise, which is "education."


    No matter which method is used, in the final analysis, it all comes down to "education", and strictness and encouragement are just means and methods, just like food is to make people full and grow, some people like to eat sweets, others like to eat Salty. Eating too much sweet food can lead to diabetes, and eating too much salty food can lead to high blood pressure. So basically, anyone with a little brain knows that no one eats only one flavor since childhood...


    There are many flavors in life, and there cannot be only one method of education.


    Eating is a matter between the eater and the cook, and education is also a matter between the educator and the educated. Just blindly listening to what others say is good to eat, and always eating a single food, is Will eat dead people.


    ?No matter whether the food is sweet or salty, if it is too much, it will definitely not be good.


    As for why there must be some people who are mindlessly boasting that a certain way or a certain taste of food is so good, so good, so good that it is like a panacea, and you can become an immortal once you eat it? Then it depends on whether he is selling that kind of food...


    Just like now, Xi Liu will occasionally insert a few words about the benefits of the general, and compare it with the bad government of the hussar general, forming a situation where the general is good at everything, and the hussar general is in dire straits and everything is bad. It''s a bad description. Anyway, you can get paid for saying it. You just need to use your words and express your feelings easily. Wouldn''t you be a fool if you don''t do it?


    Liu Xie couldn''t help but frown when talking about the bad governance in the Hussar area.


    Although Liu Xie was concerned about the Qingxu Battle, it was obvious that he had no way to go to the battlefield to see it in person, so he could only listen to the voices of certain parties to convey and report. In this process, even Liu Xie had a choice , however, he will still inevitably fall into an information cocoon.


    Just like Liu Xie’s information about Fei Qian.


    Liu Xie''s impression of Fei Qian has always been pretty good.


    Liu Xie still remembered that Fei Qian took him to Yinshan Mountain, saw the desert, climbed the mountains and passed the rivers. Having eaten food from farmers and drank water from the military, it was a life that Liu Xie had never experienced before. It was like taking Liu Xie out of his original confinement circle and entering a whole new world.


    However, the new world is not all smooth sailing, nor can everything one wishes come true.


    Being outside the comfort zone is somewhat painful.


    The bitter and inedible paste, the farmer’s surprised and scrutinizing eyes, the biting cold wind in the wild, the soreness all over the body caused by the long journey...


    After the excitement period, it quickly enters the refractory period, and then falls into the exhaustion period.


    Just like we often say we will go to a snowy area once in a lifetime to see the blue sky and green grass, but when we really want to leave the warm nest and the home we are accustomed to, we hesitate...


    Obviously, no amount of oaths or willpower is enough to bridge this huge gap in life, at least not for Liu Xie. Liu Xie was used to being greeted with nods and bows every day, used to not having to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, used to being stable, used to being aloof, used to staying in a place where wind and rain could not invade, and trivial matters could not disturb him.


    I left, but I miss you a little.


    After all, only when you can’t get something will you be particularly concerned about it.


    But after all, we are far away now.


    Isn’t it because of the long-distance relationship that many Feiyans in the world are born? When I want a warm hug, there is only a waving shovel next to me. When I have a stomachache, I just say "drink more hot water" from far away, but there is a prepared Siwu soup nearby. From time to time, there are also great wisdom like Xi Lu. Describe it. What is evil at a distance is good near.


    How "evil" is Hussar''s so-called "evil government" really? Are the people in Sanfu so miserable every day? Obviously, there is no absolutely perfect system in the world, and of course it is impossible for all people under the system to be absolutely comfortable and happy.


    In Cao Cao''s place, the ones who are comfortable are the sons of the gentry, such as people like Xi Lu, but over there, people like Xi Lu are not very popular, so in this hall, the so-called "people" are Here and there, the groups referred to are fundamentally different.


    Liu Xie''s feelings for Fei Qian only lasted for a moment, and then he quickly turned his attention back to the current battle of Qingxu. After all, the distance was too far, and the things close were visible and tangible.????Hmm, I can hear you.


    Liu Xie stood in front of the battle map with his hands behind his back, as if he had become the commander of this battle or the master of the battlefield. He was deducing and speculating, trying to use limited information to make a judgment on the future of the battlefield.


    ??This is not the first time Liu Xie has done this...


    Moreover, the number of participants and the scale of this kind of "seminar" or "evaluation meeting" of the Qingxu Battle are getting larger and larger. To a certain extent, it actually represents what Liu Xie wants to express. A message conveyed.


    ??As for whether this information is what others want, or whether it can be passed on, that is the next question...


    The key to Qingxu is actually not a place like Xiapi, but the Chen family in this place.


    Xiapi and Guangling are both "transformed places" to a certain extent.


    ?From that time on Tao Qian, Old Man Tao could no longer control the Guangling Prefect, and could only watch the Guangling Prefect Hongxing go out of the wall and wander to the Jujube side.


    Later, Cao Cao laughed and asked Chen Deng to be the prefect of Guangling. He may not have wanted to take advantage of Jiangdong to attack the Chen family, or to use the Chen family to attack Jiangdong. Anyway, he only needed to let the Chen family and the Sun family fencing. It would be a great pleasure, it would be best if both sides could suffer losses and both chrysanthemums be disabled.


    ??It’s just that Chen Deng was too sharp, and in just two or three strokes, Sun Shiwan was driven into climax and despair. Then when he saw that Guangling was about to be dealt with by Chen Deng and became the second Xiapi, Boss Cao couldn’t sit still...


    Soon Chen Deng became the governor of Dongcheng, and then died the next year. Sun Shiwan felt that he had an opportunity, and he winked at the Chen family and the Taishan Army. He waved a shovel and a **** and started digging at the top of the wall.


    ? Sun Quan’s political promises, financial inducements, and all kinds of sweet words to Chen’s family were not very effective. To put it simply, except for those rich and beautiful people who live in movies and TV series, most of them still pay attention to a well-matched family.


    Sun Quan can give it, and Chen is not lacking.


    Even what the Chen family had, Sun Quan couldn’t afford to give back!


    Naturally, this is meaningless. Only one or two people can be fed by just talking sweet words. After all, there are so many clan members behind the Chen family, and a large family has to live. We can''t just say a few words to Sun Quan. If you say nice things, just forget about your parents and clan members?


    ?In Chen’s eyes, Sun Quan is worse than Cao Cao.


    ??After all, if Cao Cao wants to give Chen a bag or something, Cao Cao has the final say. What can Sun Quan come up with? Even if Sun Quan wanted to buy a new pair of underpants, he had to go through several rounds of review...


    But in the eyes of different people, the situation is different.


    Mr. Chen dismissed it, saying that Chang Xi was like a treasure.


    In fact, Taishan Army not only Changxi, but also Sun Quan sent people to contact other people.


    Whether there is any fish or not, let’s lower the net and catch it first…


    ??Sun Quan wants to be the Pirate King, and most of the people in Taishan are not bad either. They know that the current situation is most beneficial to the Taishan Army. As long as the Taishan Army remains standing between Qingxu and there is a threat from the Jiangdong Army, they can receive many preferential treatment. If you are a good Pirate King, you will not turn to Sun Quan just because of a few deceptions from Sun Quan. No matter how nice Sun Quan''s words are, in fact, you will inevitably end up washing, cooking and mopping the floor for Sun Quan, working as a cow and a horse, and being ridden by Sun Quan. Playing.


    ?After Man Chong penetrated deeply into Qingxu, he also gave two secret reports. He selectively selected some situations to report. Although it was superficial, he also vaguely pointed out the problems.


    Of course, it is impossible for Man Chong to go into detail. On the one hand, Man Chong has not caught anything concrete and substantive, and there is no video or audio that he can produce as evidence. On the other hand, he has Yin Li with him. Although Yin Li Li is relatively more inclined to Cao Cao, but Man Chong can''t guarantee whether Yin Li is pretending, and the memorial he delivers has to go through Qing Xu...


    ??But with such vague and even cryptic words, Lao Cao was so shrewd that he found out a few of Sun Quan''s lost hairs hidden in the Man Chong Memorial without much effort.


    The Chen family has been operating in Xuzhou for more than a year or two. Basically, everyone in Xiapi is named Chen. Generally speaking, Lao Cao cannot mobilize the troops here. The value of their existence is that on the one hand, they can contain the Taishan Army. On the other hand, it can defend Jiangdong.


    The existence of the Taishan Army is similar to this.


    But not everyone can break away from the cocoon of information and observe this issue from a higher perspective, especially those who are involved in the incident.


    The Taishan Army is in such an information cocoon.


    Perhaps there is a better, more subtle micro-manipulation method that can even be praised for thousands of years, and then you can swing your butt, twist your waist, and outline a coquettish posture between Cao Cao, Jiang Dong, and the Xiapi Chen family. , get the maximum benefit with ease.


    But if these leaders of the Taishan Army knew how to do this, maybe they would not be just Taishan thieves in history...


    Hence the struggle in blood and water that accompanied them.


    In spring, rain brings hope to farmers, but brings despair to both soldiers and soldiers in battle.


    Especially the attacking side.


    And he was also the attacker in the siege.


    When the clanging golden sound finally sounded, many Taishan troops who were attacking the city withdrew from the front line. They were all listless and embarrassed, as if they had crawled out of hell. There was no feeling of relief, only endless exhaustion. .


    Another round of attack failed.


    East China Sea Administrative Office, Tan County.


    The base camp of Changxi.


    ?Outside the town of Tan County, tall mounds of earth have been built. No matter day or night, the peasants captured from all over the country are struggling to stand in the muddy water, piling the earth higher and higher.


    It would be best if they could be piled directly on top of the opposite city.


    ?There were corpses everywhere in the muddy water.


    There are Taishan troops, of course, more of them are the people of Donghai County. In spring, the temperature is not high. Even a healthy man, working in the open air in such weather, is burdened with heavy physical labor, high-intensity mental pressure, and not enough rest and food. With so many supplies, it’s hard to survive three days!


    Some people were digging in the mud, and when they were digging, they fell to the ground and could not get up again. However, the Taishan soldiers who were responsible for supervising the work would only come up and throw their wooden shovels to the next one. Civil husband.


    ???Cao Cao''s army, from top to bottom, seemed to be unable to see these corpses.


    Is the East China Sea considered Cao Cao’s territory?


    It counts, but it doesn’t count.


    Even if Cao Cao showed grace and mercy to the people of Donghai County, is it possible that the people of Donghai County would be grateful to Cao Cao and lead a secret passage into Tan County?


    Obviously impossible.


    ??Cao Cao is not a fool. He had already anticipated these problems when he ordered the butcher''s knife to be raised against Xuzhou. These people in Xuzhou are at odds with him. Yes, these people in the East China Sea, ordinary people, are innocent, but in this world, can the word "innocent" alone be used to avoid harm, and then the world can be unimpeded?


    Tan County is not very big. There are two rivers on the left and right, one is Mu Shui and the other is Yishui. Tan County is in the middle of the two rivers. Therefore, if you want to continue going south, you must first get through Tan County.


    Under the city walls of Tan County, the situation was several times more miserable than that at the mound!


    In the days of spring rain, coupled with Yixian County defense, it is not sturdy. Under the continuous attack, it has already been quite decadent. Although these breaches were blocked by the defenders with wood and rocks, they looked like they would collapse at any time. The water levels in the trenches around Tan County have also surged due to rain, and the suspension bridges have been damaged, but several places have been filled with straw bags and become pathways for attack. Around the passage and in the trenches, there were layers of corpses.


    At this moment, another attack failed. When the Taishan Army retreated, all those who could move were also withdrawn. However, there were still some seriously injured people on the battlefield who were not completely dead for the time being. They were just rolling around in the mud and wailing, or She was calling her mother, or just moaning meaninglessly, but no one came to help, let alone rescue her.


    Because everyone knows that if you are seriously injured in such a situation, and dirt has entered the wound, even if you are not dead for the time being, you will not survive for a few days, so why bother? At present, in the Han Dynasty, in the feudal dynasty, the lives of these ordinary people are so worthless, let alone worthy of pity.
