MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1251 faint again

  Chapter 1251 Another faint

   Sima Shi fainted from the pain, and did not wake up until the next day.

  The first thing he said when he opened his right eye was to ask:

   "Feng thief, how is Xi thief doing now?"

  Niu Jin, who had been guarding all the time, quickly replied:

   "Please don't worry, the Central Supervisory Army. The scouts in front have just sent back the news that the bandit army is currently camping in Gaodu City. But..."

  Niu Jin hesitated for a moment:

   "However, Taihang Xing seems to have discovered the bandit scout."

  Hearing this, Master Sima let out a long sigh:

   "The western thief is not only going to occupy Gaodu City, but also offending me in Tianjingguan in all likelihood!"

  Niu Jin was silent.

  The already depressing atmosphere in the house became more and more heavy.

   It seemed to sink so much that Sima Shi could hardly breathe.

   He could only hear him breathing heavily.

  Although he knew that Feng Thief was the most cunning of the Western Thieves generals, but before things were imminent, he always had a little luck in his heart, thinking that Feng Thief would be satisfied if he won Gaoducheng for nothing.

  After all, Tianjing Pass is a critical pass, and Bandit Feng came in a sudden attack, so he probably wasn't prepared enough to attack easily.

  But the news from the front completely defeated Sima Shi's last bit of luck.

  It's right to think about it. Feng Zei has led the army for many years and has never lost a single one.

   How could he fail to see that this is the time when the morale of the army on his side is shaken and the defenses at Tianjingguan are the weakest?

   Moreover, this person has a reputation for viciousness. If the defenders in the pass know that this person is personally leading the attack, the hearts of the people will be even more scattered.

  If it were Sima Shi himself, there was no way he would let this opportunity pass by.

  After thinking up to this point, Master Sima suddenly remembered something again and asked:

   "Over there in Luoyang, is there any news?"

  Niu Jin's face darkened even more, and he sighed.

   Seeing his expression, Master Sima was a little annoyed:

   "Speech! It's already this time, what else can't be said?"

   When retreating to Tianjing Pass, Jiang Gong on the other side of Zhi Pass had already sent someone to send news about Luoyang.

  It's just that Sima Shi was seriously injured, even if he tried to support the director, he couldn't last long.

  The situation is urgent right now, and we have to try our best to gather the remnant soldiers who have fled back, and we also want to do a good job in the defense of Taihang Xing, so as to prevent the western thieves from entering Hanoi unimpeded.

  That's why this has been delayed until now.

   After all, no matter how critical Luoyang is, Hangu Pass and Shan County are still holding on.

  The Han army will not be able to approach the city for a while.

  But the main road of Taihangxing must not be handed over to Feng Zei so easily.

  Niu Jin smiled wryly:

   "The Central Supervisory Army, Luoyang sent someone to send an urgent report, please go back and take charge of the overall situation."

  In the past few days, Luoyang sent people to urge them every day.

  The person in charge of Luoyang affairs now is Sima Zhao.

  In terms of mind and means, Sima Zhao is far inferior to Master Sima.

   This is the first time I encountered such a chaotic situation, and I was really at a loss.

   "That's not a big problem yet."

  Sima Shi asserted, "General Niu, please, in my name, send another letter to Jiang Gong, urging Jiang Gong more, so that he is ready to take over Tianjingguan immediately."

  Although I know that this is a bit too hasty, even irresponsible.

  But Master Sima knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

   After talking for a while, another huge pain came from his left eye, which made him start to sweat profusely again.

  With his current situation, there is no way to go out to appease the morale of the army.

   If he was really going to be beaten by Feng Thief, and the coach couldn't show up, the soldiers might really run away without fighting.

  If you stay here longer, you will only make things worse. It is better to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.

  Niu Jin volunteered and said:

   "If the Central Supervisory Army is worried, why not stay here to repel the thieves."

  Master Sima took a real look at Niu Jin, then shook his head and refused:

   "No, Luoyang City is much more important than here, General Niu, you must go back with me."

   On the surface, Master Sima urged Jiang Ji to prepare to take over Tianjingguan.

   But in fact, even he himself knew that the gate of the courtyard would probably be impossible to hold.

   At most, it will delay Feng Zei for some time.

   Letting Niu Jin stay here, there is no other use than losing another fierce general.

   It's not that he doesn't trust Niu Jin, but that he trusts Feng Zei too much.

   Besides, the road from Gaodu City to Hanoi is only two hundred miles away, but it is full of passes.

   It is true that Tianjing Pass is the most important in the north, but to the south of Tianjing Pass, there are two other passes that should not be underestimated.

   One is Xingzhen Station, and the other is Wanzi City.

  Especially Wanzi City, although it is not as dangerous as Tianjing Pass, where there is a man guarding the pass, but it is better than being in the southernmost part, next to Hanoi.

   Unlike Tianjingguan, which is close to Gaodu City and faces the threat of western thieves.

  So the only thing he can hope for is that Jiang Gong can make good use of the advantage that Wanzi City is close to Hanoi, and the delay of Tianjing Pass, and make more preparations.

  Abandoning Tianjing Pass and retreating to Wanzi City is not the best policy, but putting Luoyang in danger for the sake of Tianjing Pass is even worse.

  Even if Luoyang is to be abandoned in the end, it is absolutely impossible to give up at this time.

  Because of Luoyang, there are still too many important things and characters that have not been dealt with.

  Tianjingguan and Luoyang are more serious, and Sima Shi can still tell the difference no matter how badly injured or how painful he is.

  I only heard Master Sima sighing long and long: "In the affairs of the world, after all, you can't have your cake and eat it too!"

   After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and lowered his voice, as if whispering:

   "Hurry up and get ready, return to Luoyang."

  Compared to Sima Shi who had to retreat to Luoyang sadly, Shi Bao, who was hundreds of miles away, was much more energetic.

  Looking at the villagers who came to reward Master Wang, all of them were smiling, with a little flattery, Shi Bao also had a kind smile on his face:

   "Hey, hey! All the old folks, it's over, it's over, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this!"

  While talking, he slipped the pot of "Tan Shi Hu Ju" in his hand, sniffed it, and let out a "tsk".

   "This wine doesn't seem to be a good wine for us big men?"

  The old man was stunned: "Huh?"

   "The good wine of the great man, spirit wine, honey wine, rice wine, rose peach wine, smell or mellow, or blazing, or sweet, to name a few."

  As Shi Bao said, he sniffed the jug again, and then turned away, with a disgusted expression on his face:

   "Look at this wine, it's sour and sour!"

  He leaned in front of the old man again, frowned, and asked:

   "Are you sure you can drink this wine?"

  The village elder didn't seem to have thought that he would encounter this kind of problem, or in other words, he would encounter such a green-skinned rogue-like general.

   Didn't it mean that the military discipline of the Han army is very strict?

  How did this kind of person become the chief general of the army?

  But seeing the old man's expression froze, Na Na said:

   "General Hui, Zhangzi County is located in a remote place, the people are poor, the products are scarce, and there are no good things. How can it compare with the land of abundance like Shu and Guanzhong?"

   "That's why the wine is weak and the food is hard to swallow. If the general doesn't like it, I'll go back and prepare it again."

  The so-called tanshi pot oar, isn’t it just for show?

   How can good things be displayed directly on the street for people to see?

   Definitely want everyone to talk behind closed doors.

   Do you understand the rules?

  Shi Bao laughed when he heard the words:

   "Hey, no need, no need, the people of Shangdang are poor, I have known it for a long time, how can I bear to be more demanding?"

  When the old man heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  The smugglers, the power in Chad, and the inappropriate words, it is understandable to think about it.

  At this moment, I saw Shi Bao turned around and pointed at a group of young people in green clothes behind him, then he picked up the iron horn handed over by someone, and suddenly raised his voice:

   "So the imperial court sympathized with the people of Shangdang, and specially sent students from the Royal Academy to re-measure the acres of land, clear up the household registration, and divide the land by dice!"

   "Measure the acres of land, clear the household registration, and divide the land by Ding," Shi Bao raised his voice again, "If you have a registration, you have land, and if you don't have a registration, you don't have land!"

"Although the Han Dynasty is an old state, its life is to be renewed! The emperor of the Han family pities the suffering of the people in the world, and now implements a new policy. The small tax is merged into the land tax, and the tax is divided into the mu." The officials, the common people, and the common people all pay taxes according to the number of acres of land!"

   "Those who dare to obstruct the New Deal, the masterminds will be punished, and the accomplices will be relocated!"

   "Anyone who dares to conceal the acres of the land will be disqualified!"

  The impassioned voice turned into murderous intent.

  It was like thunder rolling in the sky, passing over the sky of the eldest son city, deafening.

  The ordinary people who were forced to come to welcome them, as well as those ordinary people who hid in a corner and watched secretly, were all stunned.

  As for the old folks standing in front of Shi Bao, their faces turned pale with shock.

   I don't know if I was frightened by what Shi Bao said, or because Shi Bao's voice was too loud.

   "General, general! General, this matter is very important, and the general is the first-born eldest son. I don't know the situation of the eldest son. How about..."

  A village elder reacted the fastest, and rushed directly to Shi Bao's feet, hugged Shi Bao's thigh, and persuaded in a trembling voice:

   "If you don't think about the long-term plan first, think about it long-term. After all, the eldest son and the common people were in chaos. People's hearts are unstable. The immediate priority is to appease."

  Compared to the people who are at a loss and don't know why, these village elders know what the words "spreading into the mu" mean.

   I know more about what the phrase "regardless of officials, officials and common people, pay taxes according to the acre of land" represents.

   After all, Shangdang is next to Hedong, and they are very clear about what happened in Hedong these years.

   This is simply going to destroy the foundations of the major families for hundreds of years or even hundreds of years!

  As the saying goes, it is more difficult to touch interests than to touch souls.

  At this moment, Shi Bao's words are no longer touching the souls of these people, but taking away their souls.

   It's no wonder that the old man hugged Shi Bao's thigh desperately, desperately persuading him.

   This person started, and the rest of the people also reacted at once, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, pleading earnestly:

   "General, what Feng Gong said makes sense!"

   "General, the people's hearts are not stable, how can we call it a government? How can we promote the New Deal?"

   "It's really too hasty."

  …

  The villagers begged together, pleading for the people, if it was changed to the past, it would be the public opinion.

  As an official, although he is an official of his parents, if he really wants to go against the will of the people and arouse public anger, he will lose his official position at least, and his life at worst.

  But Shi Bao doesn't like this at all.

   In other words, the central court of Ji Han behind him has enough confidence, and the iron fist of Han feudalism is also hard enough.

   Shi Bao’s face turned into a sinister smile:

   "Feng Gong, I respect Feng Gong because of your age."

   "But if you want to coerce public opinion and coerce Shi, then you have made the wrong idea."

  Shangdang Feng family originated from Feng Ting, Huayang Lord five hundred years ago.

   That is, Feng Ting, the Korean Shangdang prefect who dedicated Shangdang to Zhao Guo and finally triggered the Qin-Zhao Changping battle.

   "Two months ago, from the bandit Wei to the eldest son, it seems that someone from your Feng clan led the way?"

   "I heard that after the Wei thief entered the city, it was you Feng who took the lead to help the Wei thief to appease the people."

   "I've even heard that as soon as the Wei thief entered the city, your Feng family immediately sent a lot of money and food to finance the thief?"

  The more Shi Bao said, the more anger appeared on his face, and he kicked Feng Taigong who was holding his leg away, and then kicked the jug to pieces:

   "Master Wang is here, one of you has to think long-term, and the other says that the people's hearts are unstable."

   "What? Could it be that Master Wang is not as good as Wei thief?"

  Shi Bao's sudden rage frightened the villagers again.

  Feng Taigong even had a nose and tears:

   "General, I am wronged! My Feng family has been rooted in Shangdang for hundreds of years. There are many branches and leaves. Although they have the same surname, they do their own things."

   "General, the old man has never supported Wei thief!"

   "Oh? Is that so?" Shi Bao nodded, "If that's the case, then please ask Mr. Feng to do something for himself?"

   "Self-certification? How to self-certify?"

   "For example, which branch of the Feng family supports the Wei thief? Who is the head of the family? Where do the people live?"

  Shi Bao slowed down his voice, and said persuasively: "Even if Mr. Feng doesn't know how many manors they have, he should have heard where their property is probably located?"

  When Feng Taigong heard this, his face changed drastically, and he looked at Shi Bao with eyes full of horror.

   "Don't worry, Mr. Feng, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I will send someone to investigate."

  “I will not wrong a good person casually, nor will I let a bad person go.”

  After speaking, Shi Bao stood up straight, raised the iron horn again, and shouted loudly:

   "What I said today, the people of the whole city can bear witness to it!"

   After a pause, he continued:

  "From today onwards, the government will begin to investigate the rebels. If anyone has ever helped the thief, within three days, those who voluntarily come to surrender can reduce their crimes as appropriate. Those who dare to conceal and refuse to report will be regarded as the same as rebels!"

   "Furthermore, the common people, if there is a report of illegality, the report is attached, and the land will be rewarded depending on the merits!"

  Feng Taigong was already sluggish and lifeless, his limbs limp and limp on the ground.

  Many of the other village elders were trembling.

   There are also some people whose eyes are rolling around, not knowing what they are thinking.

  Seeing the reactions of these people, Shi Bao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a hint of a smile.

   This smile happened to be seen by Feng Taigong who just raised his head.

  After a few days, Feng Taigong understood what a wolf's smile is.

   "This general, if the report is illegal, can you really reward the field?"

   A timid voice sounded from nowhere.

   "Of course! As I said, what I said today can be witnessed by the people of the whole city."

   "I want to report the Feng family. He must have lied to the general. Those members of the Feng family who followed the thief, before they escaped, returned all the manor property to Feng Taigong's house!"

   "Nonsense! Who? Who is slandering my Feng family!"

   Feng Taigong, who was still limp on the ground, jumped three feet high when he heard this, and turned to the direction of the source of the sound with a red face:

   "Who? Stand up!"

   It's just that I don't know if someone really slandered her, or if she has been under Feng's domineering power for a long time, the person who spoke did not dare to show her head.

  Seeing that no one answered, Feng Taigong turned back and said to Shi Bao anxiously:

   "General, General, this is really slander!"

  Shi Bao smiled and said softly:

   "I know, I know, the Feng family is a powerful Shangdang family, and it's normal for one or two unworthy people to come out."

  Feng Taigong was grateful: "Thank you, General!"

   "Hey, didn't I say that? I won't just wrong a good person."

  Shi Bao said solemnly:

   "Since someone has slandered Feng Gong, let's start with Feng Gong's room first, and return Feng Gong's innocence!"

   "General?"

  Feng Taigong looked at Shi Bao in disbelief.

  Shi Bao supported Feng Taigong, smiling all over his face: "Feng Gong, please!"

  Mr. Feng shuddered, rolled his eyes, and passed out on the spot.

   "Hey, hey! Feng Gong? Feng Gong, what's wrong with you?"

  Shi Bao shouted: "Come on, hurry up, help Feng Gong go back to rest."

   "Also, you, lead people, follow up, you must investigate carefully, Mrs. Feng, who is being rebellious, don't let Mr. Feng be slandered!"

   "Here!"

   Feng Taigong, who was dizzy with his eyes closed, jerked his body violently, tilted his head, and really passed out.

   "Come on!"

   "General?"

   "Go, announce to the whole city, and inform the people of the two things of the investigation of the rebellion and the transfer of the stalls into the mu."

   "Here!"

   "Don't forget, if you report illegal activities, you will be rewarded for reporting illegal activities."

"clear."

  Shangdang Hedong Hanoi Henan military situation map, please open the comments.

  PS: Kindly push a new book "My son Cao Ang has the posture of a great emperor".

  To be honest, it is strange for me to recommend a book by Cao Thief in a book that is mostly Shu fans. Don’t you worry that it will have the opposite effect?
