Under Tongguan, dozens of soldiers are directing some people to repair and replace the broken and damaged city walls and gates, and will also clean up the trenches filled with countless corpses.

The walls of the city have been excavated and are riddled with holes, and in some places the walls are already crumbling, but now they are temporarily supported by wooden brackets and planks, and then filled with sand, barely maintaining their form. Even if the wall is intact, it is bare in many places, and the green bricks that originally covered it don't know if they fell off in the previous battle, or if they weren't there in the first place, after being soaked in human blood and rain, they almost became black pockmarks, a little left and a little right.

The corpses in the trenches, whether they belonged to Xiliang or Hongnong before their deaths, now have a common name, corpses.

These corpses have been piled up in the trench for a long time, at least ten days, although the temperature in the past two or three years is strange, the temperature is relatively low, but the advent of early summer has forced the personnel in Tongguan to have to clean up.

Because

truly

It stinks......

This stench comes from the corruption of human beings themselves.

Whether it is a young girl full of collagen before her death, or a drooping old man who is already covered with age spots, after swallowing the last breath, the human body system of the whole body stops functioning, and all kinds of bacteria and fungi that were originally stored on the body, just like the current Han Dynasty, finally did not have the suppression of the regular army, and gradually developed rampantly.

The proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the body tissues are constantly decomposed into simple organic and inorganic matter under the action of spoilage bacteria, and the tissues and organs gradually liquefy and disintegrate, and finally the soft tissues disappear and the bones that cannot be easily broken down by bacteria and fungi remain......

The first thing that begins to decay is the bowels of a person.

These places that devoured and buried countless animistic and animistic creatures were also the starting point of the decay of humanity itself. Once the body's organs stop functioning, it only takes a few hours for the bacteria in the gut to develop to a terrifying order of magnitude and begin to decompose everything around them, producing putrefactive gases such as hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, thioethers, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, etc.

Some of these putrefactive gases are emitted through the wound, through the mouth and nose, and some of them fuse with the blood inside the corpse to form corpse green, and then gradually spread, and finally corpse spots appear.

The corpse spots are further expanded and spread, and the blood in the internal organs and blood vessels can flow to the body surface due to the pressure of putrefactive gases, and the subcutaneous veins are dilated, filled with putrid blood, thus showing a red or blue-green dendritic vascular network on the body surface of the body......

Dozens of soldiers stood in the limelight from afar, even so, they still couldn't avoid bursts of foul smell, this stench was like a pervasive extremely small and viscous insect, even if the mouth and nose were firmly covered, it would still stick to the skin, burrow into the placket, and then break through the skin, little by little into the depths.

The soldiers could stay away from these filthy places, and the people who called for the corpses could not hide.

Minfu walked among the corpses with one foot deep and one foot shallow, dragging the corpses that had become extremely stiff, looking like a group of still movable ghosts, dragging the ghosts that had fallen.

Swarms of green, red, and black flies, only when humans are very close, they buzz and fly lazily, and then spin around a little, and fall in the original position again, raising their hind limbs and rubbing their wings, looking very comfortable, not afraid of human activities at all, here, they are the kings.

A few fat rats burrowed through the crevices of the corpses, and the little ones dragged their bellies and red eyes, and sometimes stopped, staring viciously at the big men who dared to disturb their feast, and then grinding their teeth, and shaking their bellies again, into the darkness.

A herald ran over the re-paved suspension bridge with his nose covered, and then came to Qu Chang, who commanded the people, gasped for a few breaths, and said, "Yang Gong has an order, speed up the cleanup!" Especially near the city gates, it must be cleared out first! ”

Qu Chang hurriedly replied, and then beckoned his subordinates: "What are you doing so far away?" Yang Gong has an order, and all the city gates must be cleared out today! Did you hear that?! ”

"I heard you!" His soldiers answered.

"Qu Chang, Duke Yang's Mansion is a little northerly, why don't you clean it from north to south first, but clean up the city gate first?" A quick-witted-looking creep asked.

Qu Chang glared: "You ask me?" Who the fuck is going to go? Hurry up and get to work, don't be an eyesore here! ”

After blasting the mouthy soldier away, Qu Chang pinched the short beard on his chin, pondering, yes, it stands to reason that it must be urgent for Yang Gong to clean up first, so as not to let the stench smoke the nobles, but Yang Gong ordered to deal with the city gate first......

However, Qu Chang still needs to deal with another problem, that is, he must now clean up the city gate as soon as possible, but there are only these manpower, to drag, to dig pits, to fill in the landfill, after all, this is a lot of work, it is better to ......

Qu Chang rolled his eyes, Yang Gong personally ordered it, naturally he couldn't slack off, if he did it well, he wouldn't be able to say anything, but if he didn't do it well, it would naturally make Yang Gong unhappy, so where would he have any good fruit to eat?

Anyway, Qu Chang stomped his feet, grabbed a soldier beside him, and whispered a few words......

Within two days, Yang Biao's intention to speed up the cleaning of the vicinity of the Tongguan City Gate was naturally revealed, because the distinguished guests invited by Yang Biao arrived.

When the guests come to the door, they naturally need to sweep the couch to greet them, and after all, there is a battlefield outside Tongguan, and it is a mess, so it is just a matter of cleaning up the vicinity of the city gate first.

After all, if Yang Biao came to greet him, he would be uncomfortable standing near the city gate, wouldn't he?

The distinguished guest who came to Tongguan was Zhu Jun.

Speaking of which, Zhu Jun once had the opportunity to become the second Dong Zhuo......

When Niu Fu was still alive before, he sent Li Wei and Guo Yan to attack Luoyang, but Zhu Jun couldn't resist it, so he took the initiative to evacuate Luoyang and saved part of his strength.

Then something interesting happened.

Xuzhou Assassin Shi Tao Qian, thinking that Zhu Jun was a famous general, repeatedly made military exploits, and could be entrusted with great tasks, so he united with the former Yangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Gan, Lang Evil State Minister Yin De, East China Sea State Minister Liu Kui, Peng Cheng State Minister Ji Lian, Beihai Xiang Guo Kong Rong, Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong, Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, Runan Taishou Xu Xuan, former Jiujiang Taishou Fu Qian, Tai Doctor Zheng Xuan and others jointly elected Zhu Jun as the Taishi, ready to raise troops to crusade against Li Dao Guo Yan and others.

However, just as these people were happily preparing to engage in a second battle of the Sour Jujube Alliance, Yang Biao and Fei Qian's inscriptions were passed to the hands of the shepherds, and it was immediately like a basin of cold water splashing on the heads of the Sanjiu cold day, extinguishing the flames burning in the hearts of these people.

Presumably, the feelings of these people at that time were too complicated to describe......

However, Zhu Jun didn't care too much about this matter, after all, he didn't want to serve as this so-called "Taishi" position......

Zhu Jun's father died when he was a teenager, his mother used to sell and buy silk as a family business, when he was a teenager, he was often said to be a profit-seeker, or it can be said that he was a poor family, and then walked up step by step, the most knowledgeable advance and retreat, how could he easily agree to sit in such a position full of thorns?

This time, it was Yang Biao who sent people to speak earnestly and describe the current predicament, and Zhu Jun agreed to help Yang Biao.

In his life, Zhu Jun has been to Jiaozhou, fought in Xiliang, suppressed rebels, and pacified the Yellow Turban. Such a person has seen too many deaths, so when he came to Tongguan, even though there were still too many traces of gunsmoke, there were still a large number of corpses waiting to be disposed of, and the lingering stench in the air was like nothing for Zhu Jun.

The two sides met under Tongguan, and Yang Biao hurriedly invited Zhu Jun into the city.

This environment is too much, Yang Biao can't help it......

Although Yang Biao hung more than a dozen sachets in his robe, and then deliberately asked people to smoke the placket with incense several times, but he still couldn't resist the oncoming stench, if it weren't for Zhu Jun's more important to Yang Biao, Yang Biao really didn't want to step on this disgusting place.

Zhu Jun turned his head to look at the corpses piled up by the people in the distance, and frowned: "Yang Gong, a certain road is going against the current, and I saw the corpses floating down along the way, could it be ......?"

Yang Biao frowned when he heard this.

In the Han Dynasty, after people died, they paid attention to entering the earth for peace.

If it is a person of the scholar clan, it is even more to have a grand funeral, and even consume all the property of the entire family, and all of them are taken to accompany the funeral, which is mainly related to the Han Dynasty has been advocating filial piety, because the funeral of the deceased relatives leads to the destruction of the family, not only will not be scolded as a fool, but will also be praised more......

But ordinary people are not treated so well.

Dig a hole, throw it in, and fill it with dirt, which is pretty good.

After all, sometimes in order to intimidate the opponent or show off the martial arts, many times it is necessary to cut off the head to make a Jingguan......

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and even many generals have done this.

However, there is naturally no need for Tongguan here, who will you see in Beijing?

Hongnong, or Guanzhong?

As for the Xiliang people, they are not here at all, and even if they are put out, they can't be seen.

Therefore, it is natural to landfill things together, after all, most of them are still Yang Biao's hometown......

But since Zhu Jun said that he saw a lot of corpses down the river along the way, it shows a problem, the petty officials in charge of this matter are lazy.

"Someone!"

As soon as Yang Biao gave the order, he asked the official and Qu Chang who were in charge of this matter to be brought to him.

After only a few questions, the chief fell to his knees and bowed again and again to confess.

It turned out that in order to speed up the clearing and sorting of the city gate, Qu Chang did not bury all the corpses that came out later, but threw them into the river, trying to save trouble, and it was expected that Yang Biao was in Tongguan anyway, and he would not go to the lower reaches of the river to see, so he couldn't find this, but he didn't expect to be broken by Zhu Jun......

"Bold!" Yang Biao shouted angrily, "You dare to steal and commit adultery, and you are against the yin!" ”

Immediately, Qu Chang, who pretended to be clever and advocated without permission, beheaded the public, and then tied the officials in charge of supervision under the city gate, and for the crime of lax supervision, he was given twenty rods......

Even so, Yang Biao was still a little angry.

This time, Zhu Jun was invited to come, in order to let Zhu Jun take the position of Huangfu Song and lead the troops to complete the great cause of marching into Chang'an, but he didn't expect that Zhu Jun had just arrived in Tongguan and let him see this scene.

This matter is not a big deal, but the problem is that Zhu Jun, who has just arrived, proves that Yang Biao's control over the soldiers is not enough......

How can this keep Yang Biao from getting angry?

But it's already like this, and Yang Biao has no choice, after all, he is not from a military family, so although he understands some things, he doesn't do it well.

"Qiantang Hou ......," Yang Biao said with a slightly embarrassed look, "...... This side is militarily and hopes that the Marquis of Qiantang will help you...... This place is not a place for narration, and the Marquis of Qiantang is invited to enter the city to rest first. Tomorrow, a certain gathering will be awarded! After speaking, he invited Zhu Jun to ride in his canopy car.

Zhu Jun didn't have much politeness, and said with a slight arch of his hand: "Yang Gong raises love, and a certain nature tries his best to repay it." ”

As soon as he entered the Tongguan city gate, Zhu Jun frowned again.

There are too many people in Tongguan.

The whole street is chaotic because of the influx of a large number of people, and the grassroots officials have not planned and improved in place......

Zhu Jun opened his mouth slightly, then glanced at Yang Biao beside him, and finally closed his mouth and suppressed it.

Although such a situation does not meet the requirements of the art of war, because on the one hand, it is difficult to manage, and on the other hand, once a similar situation occurs, it is easy to develop into an uncontrollable disaster.

Yang Biao, although he is full of wealth and is famous all over the world, is not a person who commands the army after all.

Zhu Jun sighed with emotion, but he was not ready to talk about it now, anyway, after he officially gave the authority to command the troops tomorrow, it would be okay to make corrections, anyway, it would not be so many two days. I was already at the gate of Tongguan before, although the intention was good, but it was also a little bit of Yang Biao's face, and now if I continue to talk about this, it is inevitable that I will not take Yang Biao too seriously......

No matter how you say it, you have to give Yang Biao three points of face, right?

A group of people with long sleeves fluttering, well-dressed in a canopy car, along the street, slowly turned to the government of Tongguan, where, is about to hold a grand and grand welcome dinner, although it is a simple Tongguan, but there are a lot of food and wine, and Yang Biao brought some singers from Hongnong to perform......

The sky gradually darkened, smelling the bursts of wine and meat wafting out of the mansion, listening to the faint sound of tinkling and pleasant silk and bamboo, the ordinary people in Tongguan silently set up a stove, silently looked at the black and green boiled wild vegetables in the clay kettle, and swallowed saliva silently.

When the smoke rose, some people couldn't help it, so they gritted their teeth, got up and took out the grain jar hidden in the corner, and pinched out three or five grains of something similar to wheat millet from it, and sprinkled it in the kettle, which was also regarded as an additional meal.

At the end of the gloomy alley of Tongguan, I don't know if it was because the firewood was too wet, the smoke was too big, or some other reason, and a violent cough accompanied by smoke came out of a simple shack......
