Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 343

In Pei County, as Liu Ji expected, under the occupation of the Qin Army, although life is uncomfortable, it is always better to stay in the countryside to meet the unknown chaos. Pei County is resisted by the strong forces of the Qin Army In front of them, it was completely vulnerable, but it was precisely because of this that Pei County was preserved. If Pei County resisted desperately, it would be the people of Pei County who died and injured more in the end.

However, although it was a good thing that the Liu family hid in the city ahead of time, his neighbors and friends did not have such luck.

Liu Ji looked at his friend butcher Fan Kui who was in a mess and even had a sword wound, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You will be injured one day? Could it be that you are facing the Qin army?"

"Brother Liu, the county magistrate has surrendered. Do you think my face looks like such a brave and fearless person?" Fan Kui pointed to his own youthful beard, which made him look older because of his overgrown beard. Said the teenage face.

"The face looks very fierce, with a murderous look. He really looks like a brave and fearless person." Liu Ji looked at Fan Kui and said, not to mention Fan Kui's martial arts, at least this appearance really looks a bit fierce. However, if he was caught by Qin Jun as a thief, it would not be too unfair.

"Brother Liu, this kind of joke is not good. I was injured by those Surabaya thieves. When the Qin army came, the order in the countryside was completely disrupted. The thieves who had been hiding in the mountains and lakes before seemed to be scattered. Liao Huan ran out, causing disasters everywhere. The big villages can still build a stronghold to protect themselves, but the small villages have suffered disasters. Do you remember the Caojiazhuang? , It’s really horrible.” Fan Kuai said angrily.

Although he is not a good person, he occasionally bullies his neighbors by force, but that is just a normal neighbor friction, and it has never reached the point of endless death.

"Caojiazhuang? I know it's not safe in the countryside, but has it come to this point?" Liu Ji was shocked. Over the years, he has traveled all over the world and seen a lot of markets. Of course, he has seen bandits. But at that time, all I saw were others suffering, and I didn’t have a deep sense of substitution. Now I hear that people I used to know suffer misfortune, and the meaning is different.

"It's all messed up, Brother Liu, you have to figure out a way, we can't go on like this." Fan Kui said looking at Liu Ji expectantly. Although Liu Ji wasn't the best among their friends, he was The only person who has seen the big world, when encountering difficult problems, most of them still need Liu Ji to make up their minds.

"What can I do? I can't protect myself, can I take care of other people?" Liu Ji also smiled wryly. When the Qin army came, the previous order collapsed. Under the Qin army's order, he really didn't know How to do it, that is not the order he is familiar with, he does not understand the operating rules, acting rashly will only put himself in danger.

"Are we just watching?" Fan Kuai asked.

"We only have this ability." Liu Ji thought, but he thought of more things in his mind. Although the current situation is not good, it may not be an opportunity for him. In the original order, he wants to It is very difficult to achieve a leap in identity, but right now the original order has collapsed, and the new order has not yet been established, most people are in almost the same position, isn't it exactly his chance?
Thinking of this, Liu Ji couldn't help looking at Fan Kui, and said hesitantly, "We should do something for our neighbors."

"Brother Liu, what do you mean?" Fan Kui suddenly regained his energy when he heard this.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. Maybe we should ask Mr. Xiao about it." Liu Ji thought about a person, and this was also the person with the highest status he could come into contact with in Pei County.

"Master Xiao, is he willing to help?" Fan Kui asked hesitantly.

"Master Xiao is also from Pei County." Liu Ji affirmed.

When Liu Ji and Fan Kui were preparing to do something, Yang Ming, who had never entered the city and was still staying in the camp of the Qin Army outside the city, also received news from all parties in Pei County: bandits were making trouble, and some people even harassed the Qin Army's logistics. force.

Is that really just a simple robbery?

On Yang Ming's desk, there are military newspapers from the net, standing in front of him is a black dress and a black and white hanging sword.

"How many people are involved in the farm?" Yang Ming put down the bamboo slips and asked Li Wu.

"There are not many people, but they are all elite disciples. However, most of them are from the Tian clan of the farm family. People like the Zhu family don't seem to be involved." Li Wu replied.

For these years, Li Wu has been staying in the State of Wei. After Yang Ming took control of the net, he immediately took over the killer of the net in Chu State. This intricate land of Huaisi not only provides a broad space for the development of farmers. , It also opens the door for the infiltration of the net.

"The farmer's soul really lingers." Yang Ming said to himself, the farmer's family in the land of Huaisi may not be a big deal to the current state of Qin, but it will be a big trouble in the future. Whether it is to control or eliminate the organization of a hundred schools, it is extremely troublesome. It falls at the bottom of the countryside, and here is often the most difficult place for Qin's official rights to touch.

When the Qin State was strong, this force was not enough to shake the ruling order of the Qin State. Once the Qin State became weak, the farmhouse would become a prairie fire, and it would be out of control.

This kind of survival strategy of the peasant family is not unreasonable. Back then, the Tian clan occupied the magpie's nest, usurped the power of the Jiang clan in Qi State, and squeezed out the power of the Lu surname among the farm families. Although it was criticized by many people, the Tian clan Being able to succeed naturally depends on one's own strengths.

Among other things, just the strategy of sinking influence to the bottom has a wisdom different from that of other schools of thought. Among the schools of thought, Taoism, Confucianism, and Legalism are all prominent masters. But the positions of the stations are too high. On the contrary, the peasant family and the Mohist family settled at the bottom, making them the most powerful existence.

It's just that the farming family was prosperous because of the Tian clan, but it has also gone astray because of the Tian clan over the years. As for the Mohist family, it was even more unbearable. The path of the Mo family has already been crooked.

Yang Ming put away his chaotic thoughts and said: "Since the farmer is behind the scenes, we can't turn a blind eye to it. It's time for the trappers to move and closely monitor the farmer's movements."

"Master, does Luo Wang want to intercept and kill the farmer?" Li Wu asked.

"No, people from the peasant family are doing harm to the land of Surabaya. The people here are the worst. We want to give the people here a chance to protect themselves and take revenge." Yang Ming said.

The Qin army's target was Pengcheng, and they didn't have the energy to encircle and suppress the peasants who infiltrated Surabaya and appeared to be stragglers. The only people who could save the people in Peixian were themselves, and Yang Ming wanted to give them a A chance to avenge yourself.

Moreover, it is a good thing for Yang Ming to organize the people in Pei County to fight against thieves. At the very least, he can organize the energetic activists in Pei County and organize them into the team. At the same time, it can be better managed.

As for the concept of family and country, people in Pei County still have the concept of family more. As for the country, among the people who are old here, I am afraid that they have all been from Song State, Qi State, or the current Chu State. You let them finally Which country are you going to?
In the face of home and country, most people still choose home. After all, what is a country is too far away, but home is by their side, something they can really feel.

In the city of Peicheng, in a low-key but large-scale compound, Xiao He, who had passed his thirties and had a short beard under his jaw, looked at the visiting Liu Ji and asked in surprise; "What do you want to do?" ? Ask the Qin army to clear the countryside?"

"Although Liu Ji may be a little overwhelmed, I still want to give it a try." Faced with Xiao He's surprise, Liu Ji said with a little embarrassment.

Liu Ji knew why Xiao He was so surprised, because such a thing was extremely difficult, so how could it be what he Liu Ji did.

"Are you looking for me?" Xiao He asked after gathering his emotions.

Although Liu Ji does not do farming in the eyes of ordinary people, he only knows how to do nothing and is not a good man, but according to Xiao He's knowledge, how can he be as knowledgeable as those ordinary people? He knows that people like Liu Ji are courageous and well-informed , Ninety-nine percent of the people in Peixian County have more ability than others, that is, they suffer because they have not studied much and their background is lower.

Once given the opportunity, Liu Ji might not be unable to make a career out of it.

But the current opportunity is not a good opportunity. The Qin army is here, but how long the Qin army can stay in Peixian County, and whether the Qin army can occupy Peixian County in the future is still a question.

If he worked for the Qin army at this time, when the Qin army withdrew and the Chu army came back, the situation they would have to face at that time would be really difficult to explain in words. It is just common to be ruined.

"I would also like to invite Master Xiao to come forward and tell the generals of the Qin State what is happening in the villages of Peixian County, and ask them to take action to eliminate the bandits." Liu Ji said.

"You really think so?" Xiao He said solemnly.

"Well, to be honest, I don't think the Qin army will agree to this request. There are [-] to [-] troops in Pengcheng, and the Qin army is going to attack Pengcheng. They should not care about the thieves who are raging in the countryside." Liu Ji said.

"Then you still let me go? Don't you know that I'm hiding at home just because I don't want to have anything to do with Qin Jun?" Xiao He said speechlessly. This Liu Ji is not talented enough, but sometimes he is too talented.

"At that time, we can push the boat smoothly and ask the general of Qin State to allow us to organize the locals of Pei County to hunt down those thieves." Liu Ji finally expressed his purpose.

"Do you think Qin Jun will agree?" Xiao He asked back.

"Should be." Liu Ji was also uncertain.
