Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 374 The First Year of Jian'an

As soon as Wang Zheng said this, not only Zhang Zhao, but also Chen Yu at the side also reacted, couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately shouted:
"The state shepherd is not allowed!"

"Strictly speaking, his crime should be punished." Chen Yu directly bowed his head and spoke earnestly: "However, if you implicate his family, it will be a cruel loss, and it will definitely attract criticism from the world. If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess. "

Before saying this, Chen Yu already knew that no matter whether Wang Zheng adopted it or not, he would be dissatisfied with himself.

But after much deliberation, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk of speaking.

It's not that he has any friendship with the Yan family of Pengcheng, but that Chen Yu is worried that once this opening is opened, it will be difficult to close it.

In the future, if other gentry people angered Wang Zheng, wouldn't they also implicate the family and end up in the same end?
On the other hand, he and the Chen family are now considered to be on the warship of Wang Zheng. Although they are not completely tied up, they can barely be regarded as both prosperous.

From Chen Yu's point of view, Wang Zheng's move was greatly inappropriate.

To put it bluntly, it is crossing the line!

You must know that nowadays, no matter how fierce the fight is, everyone still has a tacit understanding in private, that is, the disaster will not be as bad as the family.

The same is true in the original history, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms.

For example, after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke their faces, both sides almost lost their minds, but after the latter died of illness, although Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao's third son, Cao Pi even forced Zhen Mi, but Yuan Shao's lineage also has collaterals save.

The Yuan family in Runan was also not implicated.

Even when Liu Bei was stolen by Lu Bu, even his family Lu Bu was not embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than princes in troubled times, either born in a family, or with the support of a family, and become its spokesperson.

And no matter which aristocratic family, they don't want to see the loser involve the family behind them.

After all, no one can guarantee that their own side will have the last laugh. Not implicating the enemy is also leaving a way out for themselves.

The so-called instigator has no heirs, and he is not afraid of ten thousand things, but just in case.

And in the same way, if someone crosses the line first, it is very likely that people from all over the world will attack.

"The world criticizes?" Wang Zheng glanced at Chen Yu lightly, and said with a half-smile: "So what?"

This time Chen Yu was also shocked.

He stared blankly at the young man in front of him. At this moment, Wang Zheng seemed to have taken off that warm and generous mask, allowing Chen Yu to see the sharp and cold fangs.

Respecting Confucianism and emphasizing literature are all bullshit!
This Zhuzi is actually a martial artist who advocates that violence can solve everything from the bottom of his heart, a solitary husband!
In an instant, it seemed that all the blood in his body was poured directly into one place. Under the heat of his brain, Chen Yu also developed the bloody spirit of being far away, and it was rare to have the courage to resist Wang Zheng:

"Zhou Mu, could it be that there are many tigers under his command, and the soldiers are very sharp?" Chen Yu's words became fierce: "I have something to say!"

"The so-called anti-people's mouth is better than Fangchuan!"

"No matter how many tigers and beasts there are, and no matter how sharp the sword is, it will not be able to stop Youyou's mouth. If the river is blocked and collapsed, there will be many injuries!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's expression moved, showing a serious look, which made Chen Yu feel hopeful.

It's just that what the other party said next made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body felt cold.

"It can't be blocked." Wang Zheng said coldly: "Whoever speaks lies will be the leader, and whoever writes indiscriminately will be killed!"

"Under the rolling head, everyone is naturally silent and can't make a sound."

"Zhou Mu, there are so many people in the world." Chen Yu was completely desperate, and said with a sad smile: "How can you kill them all?"

There are many people in the world, but there are not many of you gentry.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng looked at Chen Yu with a look of burning flames in his eyes.

half an hour.

He replied briefly and forcefully in a tone without the slightest emotion:

"It's over."

Seeing Chen Yu's distraught figure disappearing outside the door, Wang Zheng turned to look at Zhang Zhao without saying a word.

Before Wang Zheng could speak, Zhang Zhao's whole body was agitated, and his thoughts suddenly changed, and he said immediately: "My lord, I have asked for a position, and I hope my lord will agree."

"Oh?" Just as Wang Zheng was about to reply, he saw a transparent box suddenly lit up in the air. When he opened it, he found Zhang Zhao's application for joining the team.

What's happening here?
He immediately agreed, and at the same time looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise. Seeing his firm face, his heart moved, and he already had a guess:

"What job?"

"I ask the prisoner to be strict!"

Wang Zheng just had a conversation with Chen Yu, and Zhang Zhao, who was at the side, naturally listened to it clearly, but the other party's apportionment made the disappointed Chen Yu resign on the spot, but it also made Zhang Zhao completely decisive.

On the one hand, Zhang Zhao didn't think that the negative impact on Yan Yan would be too great.

To put it bluntly, the other party is not a famous Confucian who is famous all over the world, and his family has not even touched the threshold of an aristocratic family.

On the other hand, it was also Zhang Zhao who finally figured out that he was different from Chen Yu.

Although both belong to the noble family, the Zhang family in Pengcheng is only a middle-level family, and it is different from the Chen family in Xiapi.

Similarly, compared with Chen Yu and Xiapi Chen, they can disembark early when they see something wrong, and abandon their positions if they disagree with each other, while Zhang Zhao
From the day when civil strife broke out in Pengcheng and assisted Wang Zheng to break the city, there was no way out!
That being the case, simply go to the dark all the way!

Wang Zheng also knew that this was Zhang Zhao's act of expressing his position. In fact, since the other party entered the system, it was an official seal of loyalty, and Wang Zheng would completely trust him without expressing his position.

It's rare to have good news, and Wang Zheng is in a good mood, so there's nothing wrong with it.

"My lord, Yi Qi's clan is for the purpose of establishing prestige." Zhang Zhao put down the burden, and became more calm: "I quite agree with it. I don't care about the family's reaction for the time being, but the common people still need to give an explanation."

These words fit Wang Zheng's wishes, and he nodded repeatedly: "What do you mean, sir?"

"You must convict him!" Zhang Zhao said, "The title must not be related to the lord, lest mediocre people make wild guesses and think that the lord's action is to vent his anger; nor should it be related to the content of the sacrificial oration."

"You can make a fuss about character, morality, and even military affairs." Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, what do you think of this, so you say that this person is colluding with spies, leaking military plans, and intending to cause chaos?"

"This move was instigated by the family behind the scenes!"

"Leak the military plane with the intention of causing chaos?" Wang Zheng immediately understood that this was a false accusation.

Especially the last sentence intends to cause chaos. At this time when Xuzhou is newly attached and the people are thinking about it, they will also be united in hatred. Not only will they not criticize Wang Zhengyi's actions, but I am afraid they will applaud.

He nodded and said, "Very good, that's it."

Since it was a false accusation, some crimes still needed to be made. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to resign and went to make some preparations.

And after Wang Zheng finally gave up the idea of ​​subduing the aristocratic family with the kingly way, he also changed his mind, instead of worrying about gains and losses, he immediately relaxed.

It is more to my liking to be domineering, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, simple and rude, very refreshing!

Called Huo Si's mother and daughter, thought for a while, and asked people to call out Bu Wan'er together, and several of them rode horses and sedan chairs, went out of the house, walked through the crowded streets, and mixed into the crowd amidst laughter , While signaling to the people, he went to the venue where the event was held.

There were not many entertainments in Han Dynasty. Due to the prohibition of responsibility, the activities in Xiapi City this time mainly included three items: throwing pots, corners, and Cuju. Dozens of venues, large and small, were opened up. The rich family and the scholar class, while the big field mainly focuses on Jiaodai and Cuju, but it does not distinguish between classes, and the audience can be described as a huge crowd.

When Wang Zheng and the others arrived, they were just in time for one side to score a good goal, which set off thunderous cheers from the audience.

With sharp eyes, Yu Jin saw Wang Zheng and his party from a distance, hurriedly got down from the grandstand, and hurried over to greet them.Wang Zheng watched with his eyes, and saw that many civil and military officials from the city came, some were sitting on the stands, some were reckless, such as Wu Sheng, who changed into a normal suit, and mingled with the crowd, yelling and yelling non-stop.

Wang Zheng, Huo Si and other women went up to the stands, and saw two groups of people in the arena, divided into red and black. Through Yu Jin's introduction, they knew that the red ones were all civilian youths, while the black ones were composed of soldiers.This arrangement obviously has political implications, and it is also in response to Wang Zheng's call. On the one hand, the army and the people enjoy together, and at the same time, it is beneficial to the unity and integration between the Tianjun and Xuzhou locals.

"The competition is divided into three games, two in the morning and one in the afternoon. After the end, there will be horsemen selected from the army to perform polo and riding skills for the people. In the part of throwing pots, there will be performances of archery and willow shooting. In addition to Jiaodi, Touhu, Cuju, there are also Go, Shogi and other activities, but they are concentrated in the Nancheng area."

Wang Zheng was very satisfied, and looked around, except for Zhang Zhao who was going to be executed, only Xu Fang didn't show up at this time, so he asked, "Where's A Fang?"

Yu Jin and Xu Fangben had a close personal relationship, and said with a smile: "This kid has a calm personality and likes to play chess on weekdays, so he probably went to Yiguan."

Wang Zheng nodded and asked again, "What program is scheduled for tomorrow?"

"Yiguan was changed to cockfighting, Cuju was changed to polo, and throwing pot was changed to Jiaodai."

Polo, also known as "jumping", refers to a sport that involves riding on a horse and hitting a ball with a polo stick. It began in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In Cao Zhi's "Famous Capitals", there is a poem "Lianqi hits Juyang, clever and quick" to describe the situation of people playing polo at that time.

The activities that Arima participates in will still be high-end entertainment in later generations. What's more, today's big men can only be organized by officials, and ordinary people can only be spectators who cannot be expected. They are the children of the family.

Moreover, those who generally perform well will almost always be favored and given official positions.

There is some reason for doing so.

Hitting the ball at high speed requires not only outstanding skills, but also a certain amount of courage and superb riding skills. Therefore, both cuju and polo were listed as the way of "governing the country and practicing martial arts" in the Han Dynasty. It has been widely carried out and included in the art of war.

"Hanshu" has "Cuju 25 Chapters", which shows that Cuju has been closely related to the army since its birth. It is not surprising to select the best among them to join the army.

This time, taking advantage of the new year's day, Wang Zheng also intends to turn it into a regular entertainment item in the army. The focus is also on this, it can be entertaining and educational, and it will help cultivate a martial arts atmosphere in the army that is fierce and competitive.

Several people talked about business and started watching the game.

The result was beyond Wang Zheng and Yu Jin's expectation, the black team lost the first game.

Should not be ah.

Consciously losing face, Yu Jin's face turned dark:
"This group of unsatisfactory things has lost my face, not to mention, it has also lost the face of our Heavenly Army."

Glancing secretly at Wang Zheng next to him, he grinned again and said, "That's all, for daring to lose the face of the lord, you should be damned!"

He was about to step off the stage angrily, but Wang Zheng stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"Victory or defeat is a matter of routine for military strategists, not to mention one game of Cuju, besides, isn't there three games?"

Most of the people sent by the black team this time were elites from the Heavenly Army, and even a few from the Tianzhu Battalion were recruited, in order to get off to a good start.

The physical fitness and physical strength of these first-tier soldiers and second-tier soldiers are far superior to ordinary people. Yu Jin naturally feels that he has the chance to win, so he can't accept defeat.

Wang Zheng, who has traveled through later generations, knows that Cuju is very close to football. Although the body is important, skill and cooperation are also very important, affecting the outcome.

Although the soldiers of the Celestial Army had the upper hand in the former, they were all homeless refugees before. In the latter, they may not be able to compare with those fun-loving street people.

Of course, there are so many people in the Heavenly Army today, it is impossible that there are no people who are proficient in this skill. After Wang Zheng talked about the key to Yu Jin, he said: "If you lose the first game, you lose, but you can't lose again later. You have to win. You have to win." To win by a big score!"

"Here!"

Yu Jin went down to make arrangements, reselected personnel, and organized the team.

The black team formed by the Heavenly Army at the back knew their shame and acted bravely. In addition, knowing that General Tiangong was watching the battle on stage, everyone was in high spirits. They won the two games by a big score, and finally regained their face.

A smile appeared on Yu Jin's face.

It was almost evening at this time, when Wang Zheng was about to leave the venue, Xu Fang happened to come over, and as soon as he got close, he bowed respectfully without saying a word.

"A Fang, why is Suidan like this?" Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Even Yu Jin is quite casual today, why are you still so reserved?"

"My lord's words are true." Xu Fanggong said, "However, we must distinguish between superior and inferior."

Wang Zheng had no choice but to change the subject: "I didn't see you just now, but did you go to watch chess?"

Xu Fang shook his head and said: "The final general is thinking about what the general ordered earlier. He went to look at the venue in the past two days. He just selected the location in the morning, and it's next to the military camp on the east side of the outer city."

"Beside the military camp on the east side?" Wang Zheng's expression changed immediately when he heard this.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Celestial Army is not inferior to any powerful army in the world, it is the biggest blemish in terms of cultural literacy.

Ordinary soldiers are nothing more than ordinary soldiers, but the generals of the middle and lower ranks are very different from other armies. After all, at this time, the soldiers and horses under the command of the major princes have soldiers participating in it, and most of the generals who can do it are not illiterate.

As for Wang Zheng, he chose some positions in the system soldiers. Most of these people were refugees a year ago, and naturally few could read and write. After all, people like Xu Fang belonged to the minority.

Therefore, in addition to running government schools in the private sector, Wang Zheng is also planning to set up military schools in the army, focusing on solving this matter.

Wang Zheng thought for a while and said: "This place is good, but there is one thing, it should not be too close, lest the sound of soldiers practicing will distract them and prevent them from concentrating on their studies."

"Here."

"How about the selection of instructors and the setting of subjects?"

"Following the general's order, half of the instructors are selected from the Tianji Battalion, and half are selected from the scholars and old scholars in the city."

"As for the subjects, the first year will focus on literary affairs. After the college is completed, the second year will teach battle examples, formation exercises, riding and archery, etc."

The two rode horses side by side, talking and discussing details. As they got farther and farther away from the hustle and bustle, the sky gradually darkened.

Unknowingly, Wang Zheng passed through the fourth year of the crossing, and came to the first year of Jian'an.

It was the most exciting period in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Weinan.
All happened here.
