[Comprehensive] Number of Merry
Chapter 52, Ruying Qishi
Height was one of the important standards for the ancients to measure beauty and ugliness. For men, seven feet is the standard, seven feet five is good, and eight feet is good. Confucius is nine feet long and six inches long. Everyone is called "elder man". Different.Although the scale units of different countries were different before Qin Shihuang unified weights and measures, they were generally around 1.9 meters.
Another standard that is valued by people is the waist circumference, which is an intuitive reflection of the level of a person's martial arts in the cold weapon era.The so-called "one strength down ten times", no matter whether you use weapons or not, great strength will always take advantage of it.But if you want to use a heavy weapon, you must rely on your waist to support it, and your waist will be strong enough.
Xu Chu was more than eight feet long, and his waist was ten girth. He was considered the most standard and sturdy figure of a warrior at the time. In addition, he had a majestic appearance, was covered in blood, and was holding a bloody head in his hand. He was just standing at the gate of the camp. , there is bloody bravery that cannot be hidden.
He is a native of Zhiqiao County, Yuzhou Prefecture. When he was young, he gathered thousands of families in his hometown to fight against bandits. Once, due to lack of food, he exchanged cattle with bandits for grain. After the cows were in the hands of the bandits, they ran back and dragged them backwards with one hand. The oxtail walked a hundred steps, the bandits were shocked, and left without daring to ask for the ox.From then on, in the lands of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, everyone was afraid to hear his name.
This time Nanyang soldiers crossed the border to destroy Yingchuan and Runan Yellow Turbans. One of the defeated soldiers fled eastward to Peiguo in a panic.The leader of the Yellow Turban thieves shouted that he was Huang Shao, the leader of the Yellow Turban, and repeatedly begged for mercy.Xu Chu despised his character, cut him off with a single knife, and asked Buqu to return to the village to wait. He took Huang Shao's head to the barracks and prepared to join the army.
After waiting at the gate of the camp for a while, Xu Chu suddenly heard some commotion in the camp. Xu Chu looked up curiously, and saw a man in black clothes and a crown walking swiftly out of the camp.The eyebrows and eyes are still unclear, but the majesty and nobleness of the whole body is not self-evident. I don't know how old an official is.
He was also a little idiot, and when he saw someone, he stood at the gate of the camp and looked around, completely enraged the soldiers of the camp who were shocked by his majestic figure: "Zizi is rude, seeing the general—"
In the middle of the conversation, Wang Lang, who rushed over quickly, interrupted with laughter:
"It's too late for the tiger fighters!"
After leaving the tent with Wang Lang, Wang Can, who was a little behind Wang Lang, also arrived at this time.His stature was already shorter than ordinary men, standing in front of Xu Chu who was eight feet long and ten girth in waist, he couldn't help but gasped, and sincerely praised: "A real tiger!"
Xu Chu loved the title "Tiger Warrior" so much that he scratched his head and scratched his head, but he didn't understand what Wang Lang meant, and asked a little strangely: "I cut off the thief's dog's head and came here to join the army immediately, how could it be too late?"
The words were vulgar, but Wang Can was so moved by his pure infatuation that he didn't walk away and said with a smile:
"The general praised you for being as brave as a tiger, and wished he hadn't seen you sooner."
This time Xu Chu understood, touched his head with a smirk, and mentioned Huang Shao's head:
"This dog thief called himself Huang Shao when he begged for mercy, but I cut him off with a single knife and presented it to General Pingxi."
Then he suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Wang Lang with a look of surprise: "Is the king also a general?"
The title of general in the Han Dynasty was extremely noble. Even though the wars have been raging in the past ten years and many generals with miscellaneous titles have been added, it is still rare in the world to be as young as Wang Lang but have already worshiped the general.
Wang Can laughed loudly: "General Pingxi is right in front of you, don't you know?"
"Your name is Liu Pingxi!?"
Looking at Xu Chu's wide-eyed eyes, Wang Lang also smiled: "That's right. Tiger warriors here to join the army?"
Although the image of General Pingxi was far from what he had imagined, for some reason, Xu Chu actually felt that this is what a general should look like after meeting him.After being amazed for a while, remembering the other party's question just now, he immediately cupped his fists in salute and said: "I heard that the general is good at raising people and loves people, so he brought his troops to vote."
As soon as he clasped his fists, Huang Shao's head in his hand fell to the ground.The sergeant of the own army picked up the head and handed it to the Yellow Turban prisoner who knew Huang Shao for inspection.
Wang Lang didn't look at the leader any more, and said with a smile to Xu Chu: "I don't like Huang Shao today, but I like Qing! I also invite the tiger warriors to come into the camp to talk."
Since entering Yuzhou, countless people have come here because of Liu Biao and her reputation of being good at raising people. I didn't expect that even Xu Chu, who is famous in Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, would go for refuge because of this.But it's not surprising when you think about it carefully. For the villagers who don't want to leave their hometown, it is a blessing to have an official who is good at raising and loving the people.The Nanyang soldiers crossed the border to attack the enemy. In theory, they should return to Nanyang after repelling the Yellow Turbans. However, the people in the two counties begged her not to return in tears. This is the reason.
Then again, apart from these two things in troubled times, the most important thing is to be good at using soldiers, be able to repel invading enemies and protect the peace of the territory.The reason why Xu Chu only made two advances was probably because he felt that with his bravery, he didn't need to think about these things?
What Wang Can had in mind was different from hers.
He recently discovered a phenomenon. Although the young man next to him has been wearing men's clothing, he has not deliberately concealed his gender.The strange thing is that all the people who are new to the role or meet her for the first time don't seem to realize this, or realize it at first and then forget it very quickly.
He thought about it for a day or two and didn't have a clue, but just now he suddenly understood.
Probably this young master's demeanor is too frustrating, and he is always good at taking the initiative.Even though the people she talks to have their own thoughts at the beginning, after two or three sentences, they are unknowingly led by her, thinking along her topic, and naturally forgetting their previous concerns.
What a born hero.
◇
The four Yellow Turban leaders were all killed, Yingchuan and Runan were basically pacified, and the three military divisions who were from Yingchuan were given two days of home leave in turn.Although the three of them said that their family members had been taken to Nanyang and did not need a vacation, Wang Lang originally had the idea of doing self-help for the common good. The idea was to let them, the locals, see the changes in their hometown and come back to report to her. So ignore it.
Both belong to Yingchuan County, Guo Jia is from Yangdi, Xunyou is from Yingyin, and Xu Shu is from Changshe. The three places suffered different damages during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.For example, Yangdi was defeated by Bocai, the leader of Yingchuan Yellow Turban, and Changshe was saved by Huangfusong's plan of attacking with fire.
However, after the thirteen princes challenged Dong, Yuzhou, which is located among the Kyushu and has a lot of farmland, became a site for various forces to compete for. Generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others plundered Yingchuan. Zhou Yu and Sun Jian fought each other in Yuzhou. It was grated again by a grate with denser teeth, and the ten rooms were four or five empty.
Returning from the prosperous and prosperous Nanyang to the dilapidated and dilapidated hometown, in contrast, the feeling is deeper, even the counselors who often calculate gains and losses with a cold heart cannot but feel sad for it.
The three Yingchuan people who returned to the barracks one after another from their hometown looked at each other silently, and no one was in the mood to speak.
On the contrary, Wang Can, who had just accompanied Wang Lang on a tour of Runan, saw it, and comforted him with a spirit of sacrifice:
"The situation in the Ruying area is not bad. Thinking about Yanzhou, I should be content."
In Yanzhou, Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought first, and then locusts ravaged. Even the use of preserved food for the army came out.In his impression, the worst would be Cheng Yu's, followed by Lu Bu, and Xun Yu's best.In any case, Xun Yu's character is quite trustworthy.
And his hometown, which is also Liu Biao's hometown, is now occupied by Lu Bu. I only hope that Chen Gong, who is from Yanzhou, can persuade Lu Bu not to plagiarize too much and leave a way for ordinary people to survive.
Guo Jia's family background was good or bad, he was able to make friends with the elite children of Yingchuan big clans such as Xun Yu, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping, and he was able to make friends with poor single families and even low-level people who were engaged in low-level labor.After entering Wang Lang's shogunate, he also got along well with Wang Can, who was born in a famous family in the world and had a clear personality. Wang Can said the words just now to him, so he reluctantly returned him with a bleak smile and said: " Zhongxuan might as well think about Bohou."
Bohou is Du Ji's character.
Wang Can let out an "ah" and was speechless.
Du Ji is from Jingzhao Duling.From April to August this year, there was no rain in Guanzhong. One piece of Dendrobium was 50 yuan, and one piece of Dendrobium bean and wheat was 20 yuan.Except for the Du Ji family who have moved to Nanyang, among the hundreds of clansmen who stayed in Jingzhao, only single digits may survive.
They naturally don't know that this is far from just the beginning of troubled times.
In the next year, the people in Guanzhong will eat each other, and the stronger people in Chang'an will flee in all directions, and the weaker will feed on each other. Within two or three years, there will be no living people in Guanzhong.
In the next year, the officials and scholars in Xuzhou ate each other, and the people in Jianghuai ate each other.Before Yuan Shu's defeat, the Jianghuai region was devoured.
The situation of the Three Kingdoms and the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty was slightly better, but it was only the last light of the patient's return to light.
Just over a hundred years later, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty led the army to fight, and he called the killed enemy soldiers "cooked food". Before going to the battle, he encouraged the soldiers to say: "You fight in the morning, and you can have a full meal of meat in the evening, so you don't have to worry about starvation." So the subordinates were willing to serve, and after the battle, they ate the enemy's corpses, and continued to fight after they were full, so they were extremely brave.
This is not a special case, nor is it the worst situation, it is just the norm of the society at that time.
It can be said that before the Three Kingdoms period, such tragic events had never occurred in the history of Chinese society, not even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.After the Three Kingdoms period, the bottom line of society fell again and again, which seems to have become a common occurrence in troubled times.
"By the way, Zhongxuan, the young master has been patrolling in Runan these few days, did anything special happen?"
The poet's mind is always more sentimental, and he doesn't want to see Wang Can's kindness to comfort others, but in the end he falls into a depression, so Guo Jia brings up another topic.
Knowing his good intentions, Wang Can didn't allow himself to indulge in the pain anymore. After thinking about it, he said, "There are indeed a few things worth mentioning. Feng Xiao will know it when he sees you."
The author has something to say:
Regarding the clothes and crowns in the previous chapter, you have to believe that I must have researched a lot of things before drawing.
But sincerely according to the times...it doesn't meet the aesthetics of modern people_(:з」∠)_
Moreover, Jiang Shang’s setting in this article refers to Fengshen, the words of the gods... don’t be bound by the times...
So after weighing, I made the character design according to the character's characteristics.For example, Jiang Shang's regular clothes are what he often wears in his dreams. With reference to the robes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the sides of the lower garment are cut open.The Qihou costume designed for him used more patterns on bronze wares, and according to Duke Huan of Qi's love of purple and the characteristics of Qi people's loose clothes, he finally chose a large and elegant purple deep coat + wide-sleeved cloak.
I'll think about it again.
