Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4 Life is like grass
In the end, Wang Hou, who was having fun, did not enter Chengcheng.

There is no way, when there is still a distance of 200 meters from Ping'e County, which is not much larger than the community of later generations, the amazing stench is already blowing in the face. Wang Hou couldn't bear it either.

Full of astonishment, he dragged the rein of the Huang Puma who was also panicked for two circles. At this time, Cao Hongjie and the other tiger and leopard riders also caught up with full vigilance.Being held in the middle again, Wang Hou pinched his nose and asked in amazement as he looked at Cao Hongjie who was facing a formidable enemy.

"This taste! Is the pillar industry of Ping'e County selling stinky tofu?"

But she didn't pay attention to him at all, she pinched her nose, lightly kicked the horse's ribs with green boots, and held the ring-shoulder upside down, the little girl rushed to the closed Ping'e County in broad daylight in a hurry and nervously. Kicked up.

With a buzzing sound, the heavy wooden city gate burst open.

Looking at the appearance of the city, for a moment, Wang Hou felt the blood all over his body rushing to his brain. First, his head was swollen, and then the back of his spine was cold, making him shiver.

Fighting for land, killing people in the wild! Fighting for cities, killing people in the city! He really saw it.

It's not the kind of group performances in TV dramas that don't shed a drop of blood. The real corpses are lying on the road in Ping'e County in disorder. The blood has already rendered the rammed earth road into red and black. Amid the rancid smell, crows and wild dogs crouched unscrupulously and gnawed on the corpse, and the flies had already filled the air to the point of swarming.

Wang Hou is not a hero, nor does he have such a strong mentality that Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo treat human life like nothing. As an ordinary person who has only traveled to the fourth day of this era, the scene in front of him completely shocked him.

…………

The population of more than 3000 people in the entire county was slaughtered, regardless of gender, age and age, and none remained. The corpses spread from the city gate to the depths of the intricate thatched houses. The hawker died beside his stall, and the tavern owner was killed in front of the counter. Several women were hanged on the beams of the house full of fear and despair, and the smelly hot wind blew by. Their dry and rotten eyes stared at Wang Hou and his party with terrifying and weird eyes.

After more than two days of killing, most of the carcasses began to rot under the hot rays of the autumn tiger. Countless flies foraged and laid eggs here, and that was how the astonishing stench came out.

Made a mask out of torn clothes, followed Cao Hongjie fearfully into the county like the scene of a horror movie, the ear-piercing sound of flies beating their wings was as loud as a truck motor, and a crow crouched on the corpse, its eyes were red Such as blood, not afraid of people at all, let alone a warning, screaming harshly at the tiger and leopard cavalry sergeants.

With Wang Hou's scalp numb, he followed Cao Hongjie to the county government office. There was a mess there. In the face of death, human beings finally achieved equality. , surrounded by county government officials or local rich people dressed in black and white with crowns on their heads.

The official's face was completely rotten because his face was facing down. He was kicked over by Cao Hongjie's leather boots, and disgusting maggots fell down. , Cao Hongjie untied the bag, and took out a small seal in his palm.

Ping'a County, Chen!
"Ping Ahling and Chen Quan were also killed!"

Weighing the small seal in his hand, Cao Hongjie couldn't help shaking his head solemnly.

He was extremely sensitive to this Chen character. He looked around in horror at first, but Wang Hou suddenly forgot his fear, and asked abruptly, "Chen Quan? What's the relationship with Xuzhou Biejia Chen Gui?"

She glanced at him quite unexpectedly, but putting the seal in her arms, she explained softly: "Chen Quan is a concubine from the third house of Chen Shi in Guangling. He is a little talented and has a deep relationship with Xuzhou, so let him be the county magistrate here to support Liu Yuzhou's food and salary supply."

"I don't know which thieves are so vicious! They actually slaughtered the city and sacrificed it! Cao Li, you should immediately send someone back to report to the prime minister, beware of thieves making trouble! Massacres cause plague, this place is not a place to stay for a long time! Let's go too!"

She is courageous and capable, and in a few words, this little bitch has already completed her disposal. After receiving the order, the three tiger and leopard cavalry sergeants got on their horses and rushed out of the city first, followed by a group of people who also covered their noses and rushed to the city. Withdrew outside, but it was completely different from the look of a plague chicken just now. Although he was still trembling a little, Wang Hou forced himself to look at the corpses one by one.

On the one hand, just like the Count of Monte Cristo described by Alexandre Dumas, in order to get revenge, he has been watching executions in various places for more than ten years, so as to make himself numb and cruel. Only by facing these bloody corpses can his heart be tempered. get hard.

On the other hand, this is really about my own life!Cao Cao told him that he wanted five thousand shi of millet. Where could he get it? Diannong Captain Chen Deng!

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a famous chapter in which Chen Deng, a twenty-five boy, sells Lu Bu. In the real history, their typical nobles, who think they are noble, are really at odds with Lu Bu, a warlord from Xiliang.

Besides, although the world is in chaos at this time, Xuzhou has also experienced wars, especially in the Pengcheng area, and was brutally massacred by his boss Cao Cao, but after all, it is better to win over Yuzhou and Yanzhou, which are the land of the Fourth World War, than Huainan, which is currently suffering from severe drought. , Chen Jiatian Lianqianmo, taking out five thousand shi of grain should be a trivial matter to him.

Relying on the contradiction between the two, Wang Hou was [-]% sure to persuade him to give five thousand shi of grain to save his life under the aura of the emperor borrowed from his boss Mr. Cao.

But at this juncture, such a moth has come out!
The city behind Boss Cao was slaughtered, blocking the back road of Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei and Liu Da Er, and the official who was killed was a clan member of the Chen family in Guangling! This conspiracy is a bit too strong.

And relying on his years of experience in watching dramas and watching suspense, Wang Hou really found some unusual traces after careful consideration!
In a tea shop not far from the county government office, the tea owner fell dead on the tea stool in the house, but the blood was dragged for more than two meters. Looking at the seat, he was standing at the door of the shop watching the excitement before he died, and suddenly , when disaster struck, he was fatally wounded only two steps away in time, struggled for two meters, and fell dead on the bench just now.

He is not alone. At the side of the Yamen, the dead gentry and officials can even form a slight formation. Chen Quan's face has been rotten, and his expression cannot be seen, but the place where he fell is not. It was on the right hand side facing the county government office. This position was obviously not trying to resist some bandits, but as if welcoming someone.

Moreover, the traces of killing spread from the city to the city gate.
He squeezed his nose, kicked his side, and turned the tea boss's body over with a click. A deep and rotten wound was hideously revealed on his back, but this wound was also very strange, like a triangular puncture wound pecked by a bird. There, a long shallow cut was dragged below the beak injury.

Grabbing the sleeve of Xiao Niangpao, Wang Hou asked in amazement: "What kind of weapon can leave such a wound?"

He was covering his nose and frowning, but looking back, Cao Hongjie yelled impatiently.

"Halberd peck!"

Hearing this answer, Wang Hou's eyes trembled twice again. In this era, the halberd is the main combat weapon of the northern infantry. In front of him, a few tiger and leopard riders are rushing out with the halberd Go, the leather boots trampled out heavy footprints on the ground.

…………

The plan to go to the city to rest and recuperate is in vain. Even if the elite is as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry, the morale is slightly depressed, and the little girl's expression is also a little depressed. Stirrup, while Wang Hou drooped his head, thinking hard about the scene he had just experienced with a sad face.

It seems that anyone has the possibility of attacking, but the first one to be excluded is the bandit reported by Cao Hongjie. Even if Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher, is reborn, he doesn't have the face to let the county magistrate Chen Quan personally accompany him to welcome the county government. It may be an acquaintance within the Han army.

It is possible for Lv Bu! He was flirting with Yuan Shu, and almost married his daughter to Yuan Shu. Moreover, he attacked Cao Jun from behind and prevented Cao Cao from destroying Yuan Shu, which eased his situation in Xuzhou.

However, Lv Bu's suspicion is also the least. After all, it is not far from the border of Xuzhou. He is the first to be suspected. Now that Cao Cao has formed an alliance with Yuan Shao and is coercing the emperor to command the princes, it is the time when there is no one in the limelight. It's too stupid to provoke Boss Cao at this time. In comparison, he is more like a perfect target to be planted.

The second suspect is Liu Bei. He also has this motive for killing! It seems that Ping'acheng was slaughtered, and his supply line from Xuzhou was cut off. He is the victim! But from another angle, this is Prime Minister Cao of Tu The city that was taken down, and the officials under him were killed. This hatred of Cao Cao must be recorded.

At this time, Liu Bei and Prime Minister Cao were standing on the same side to attack Yuan Shu, the traitor who rebelled against the emperor. His back was still slaughtered, and the suspicion was naturally cleared. Lu Bu, who was dead, naturally became the number one suspect!
Liu Bei and Lu Bu had a great feud. Liu Bei was sent by Gongsun Zan to assist Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou. After Tao Qian died, he passed the position to Liu Bei! At that time, Lu Bu was just like a dog in the water being beaten out of Yanzhou by Prime Minister Cao, and Liu Bei took him in. Lu Bu placed him in Xiaopei, but when Liu Bei went south to fight Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, a white-eyed wolf, took back Xuzhou under Yuan Shu's sway. If Yuan Shu didn't send food according to the covenant and made Lu Bu annoyed, he might have killed him. him.

But even so, his former master in Xuzhou became Lu Bu's subordinate in despair, and the guest and host changed positions, and he was sent to Xiaopei to guard the border again.

Liu Bei's hatred for Lu Bu was vividly reflected in the scene of the White Gate Tower. Lu Bu expressed his willingness to surrender and lead the cavalry for Cao Cao. Cao Cao hesitated and asked Liu Bei, but the emperor asked Dong Zhuo Ding Yuan in a soft-spoken manner.The gentle words strengthened Cao Cao's determination to kill Lu Bu. After Lu Bu's death, Liu Bei, who was attached to Cao Cao, also briefly regained the right to rule Xuzhou.

As for whether the respected and respected Uncle Liu Huang could do such a filthy thing that has lasted for thousands of years, Wang Hou didn't think about it at all. None of the people who could kill a bloody path in the melee between the warlords at the end of Han Dynasty was a fuel-efficient lamp.

But there is still a possibility, but Wang Hou just thought about it at the beginning and didn't dare to think about it again.

It was Chen Quan who was killed! Let him, the county magistrate, respectfully welcome him into the city! Huainan suffered a severe drought this year, and it would be harmful to continue to entangle with Yuan Shu! Transferred to the city of Shouchun, maybe the battle is over! But Cao Cao paid attention to it surprisingly! The opportunity of the war just dispatched [-] heavy cavalry to follow him to "chasing dirt"! He also sent his cronies up!
Thinking of this, Wang Hou couldn't help shivering!
