Chapter Forty-Six: Two Feelings
The one who sent the letter into the city was still the young officer of the Western Qin Dynasty who had taken a trip to Maoer Mountain. But in the city, he felt two completely different feelings than on Mao'er Mountain.
The Chu army in Maoer Mountain, what he saw was calm, what he felt was indifference, along the way, those Chu soldiers rolled their eyes at most and glanced at him, and then lowered their eyelids to go busy with their own affairs, the young officer saw that someone was playing with mud kneading clay figures, some people were lying on the ground, and they were concentrating on observing a small flower that was half-blooming, and some of their legs were raised high, and they were sleeping in the sun, in short, on the mountain, he did not feel the atmosphere of the war, but the hairs on his body stood up.
That kind of indifference is familiar to him, and every time the Thunder Army comes to a big battle, that's it. How can a person who is indifferent to his own life value the lives of others, and such a person stepping on the battlefield is the most terrifying. Because such a person is ready to die at any time.
He suddenly understood why the general refused to come to fight this Mao'er Mountain, and when he was about to return to the dynasty with a big victory, no one was willing to make his own side pay a huge price because of some trivial things that had nothing to do with the overall situation and were not important. No one wants to die at the moment of dawn and be left in darkness forever.
He felt that he was the same kind as those in the death camp, so he felt sorry for him.
But stepping into the city, that's a different feeling. He felt the enthusiasm, as if he was not an enemy, but a friend who had not seen him for many years, from the soldiers who opened the door, to the county guard and the commander of the county soldiers of Anyang County of the Chu Army who were now facing him, when facing him, the enthusiasm that emanated from the inside out made him feel like thousands of caterpillars crawling on his body, full of discomfort.
"Little General, please be seated." The smile on Yang Yi's face was really heartfelt, because when the Western Qin officers entered the city, it represented one thing, that is, they would not attack Anyang County, which naturally made him happy. Anyang County is not lost, then as the commander of the Anyang County soldiers, he is naturally meritorious in defending the territory, and it is not impossible to be greatly promoted if he operates it well. The western region was defeated, and the imperial court needed to explain to the world, at this time, it was natural to set an example, why couldn't he become this example? Therefore, he seemed very enthusiastic, and even regardless of his identity, he actually moved a chair over himself.
Compared with Yang Yi, Cheng Pingzhi is still a bit reserved as a literati, although he has a smile on his face, he looks a little embarrassed. Although the opponent will not fight Anyang County City to make him happy, this kind of alliance under the city will become a shame for him. He naturally understands Yang Yi's thoughts, but the western region was defeated, and as a county guard, he always can't get rid of responsibility.
"I'm not a general, I'm not even a captain, I'm just a personal soldier next to Bian Shuai." The young officer twisted his body, felt goosebumps on his body, and said coldly.
"Bian Shuai's personal soldiers, are you still afraid that you won't be able to be a general in the future? It's just a matter of time, I'm just calling a few years in advance. Yang Yi smiled.
The young officer felt that although he was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the shamelessness of the general of the Chu State in front of him, and he couldn't help but glance at this person. Compared with the soldiers of the western border army of the Chu people, the one in front of him is really wearing a military uniform in vain. He couldn't help but think of the scene in the Luoying Mountains, where the besieged Chu border troops fought bloodily and refused to surrender until they fell one by one.
Thinking that those heroic soldiers fought to the end, but in the end it was such people who were protected, I couldn't help but feel deeply worthless for them. But thinking about it from the other direction, he suddenly felt very excited, because there are many people like Chu State, Daqin will naturally sit back and relax, if they are all like that Zuo Lixing, they are all like Chu soldiers like the death camp, then do Qin people still have a way to live?
"This is the condition that our Bian Shuai has set for retreating." The young officer felt that he couldn't stay here for a moment, so he took out Bian Wushuang's official document from his arms and gave it to Cheng Pingzhi with both hands, "We, Bian Shuai, said that you have three days to prepare these things, and at this moment after three days, if we don't see these things, then the army will immediately attack the city." ”
Cheng Pingzhi took the official document, skipped the nonsense in his head, and directly saw the last list, his face immediately changed, "So much? How do we get together in Anyang County? ”
Yang Yi snatched the official document from Cheng Pingzhi's hand, without the slightest scruple of the superiority and humility between the two sides, and swept it over, his face changed greatly.
One million taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of gold, and ten thousand pieces of brocade cloth, these three items alone are enough to make Anyang County die.
"It's none of our business whether we can get it together or not, we just have to get these things in three days, if not, you know, we don't mind going into the city to search for it ourselves." The young officer said proudly that he felt that there was no need to maintain the necessary etiquette in front of these people.
"No, no, no, we've got it all together, we've got it together." Yang Yi said repeatedly: "Please also ask Bian Shuai to wait for three days with peace of mind, after three days, we will definitely send the things on it to your army camp." ”
"In that case, we'll see you in three days." The young officer sneered, turned and left.
Now the civil and military magistrate of Anyang County, the smile on his face also faded completely after the Qin State officer left, "Where did you get so much gold and silver?" Where did it come from? Cheng Pingzhi walked around the hall like an ant on a hot pot, "Even if my treasury is emptied, there are not so many." ”
Yang Yi was silent for a moment and stood up, "Master Cheng, it's not that there is no way. ”
"What's the solution?"
Yang Yi sneered and said: "We have worked hard to prevent this Anyang County from being attacked by the Qin people, and we have endured humiliation and negotiated with the enemy, and now the enemy has made a price, for the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in Anyang City, and for their lives, shouldn't they give this money?" ”
"You mean, find someone in the city to collect it?" Cheng Pingzhi's face changed, over the years, in Anyang County, he has played the image of a virtuous official Qingtian Lord, so wouldn't his reputation be ruined?
"Lord Cheng, between life and property, I believe that the people in the city can carry it. The number seems to be a lot, but it is distributed to everyone, and there is not much, our people in Anyang County have lived a good life these years, and their families are very rich, these things will not make them unable to live. ”
Cheng Pingzhi was silent.
"Are you worried about your reputation?" Yang Yi's sneer became louder, "Master Cheng, after this incident, do you think you can still stay here, will you still stay here?" Since the left and right will not be officials here, what does it matter, when the time comes, we will take the relationship between the left and the left, and transfer to a place far away from here to be an official, naturally there is nothing, the key is to tide over this difficulty is the right way. ”
Cheng Pingzhi sighed, "That's all there is to it." ”
Three days later, on Mao'er Mountain, Zhang Xiaomei and other people waited, watching the gate of Anyang County open, and the carriages and wheelbarrows were pushed out of the city, and they walked towards the camp of the Western Qin people endlessly.
"Son of a bitch!" The monk sighed and sat down, "Aggrieved, really aggrieved!" ”
"You have to endure the grievances." Zhang Xiaomei sighed, "What can we do, what can we do, we can't do anything but watch." ”
"If only Boss Qin was here, he would definitely be able to come up with a move." The wild dog, still lying on the stretcher, also had green eyes blazing.
"Don't say it's your Boss Qin, even if the immortals are here, now they can only stand aside and watch like us." Shu Chang sneered. "What's more, you don't know where Boss Qin is now, it's hard to say if you have braided your hair? The current Luoying Mountain Range is the world of the Qin people, and Princess Zhaohua is a flower that attracts bees and butterflies, he went there, maybe he was unlucky to bump into the hands of that master, a generation of talents, died young, it is a pity! ”
"Fart!" For the first time in a rare way, the wild dog was furious, "Boss Qin has a great fortune, the grass on your grave is taller than a person, and he is still alive?" ”
With a snap, a plaster was accurately applied to the wild dog's mouth, holding back the rest of his words.
Shu Chang pouted his mouth and looked at the Luoying Mountains, Qin Feng, where are you bastard now? It should be alive and well, but don't really let me say it, bury the bones in the barren mountain, and you won't even be able to find a place to go to the grave in the future!
