When Cao Cao capsized two years ago, the Zhen family relied on their own backing and their financial ability to successfully seize a large fiefdom from Cao Cao's years of hard work, which was what Cao Ang and others said before.
Zhen family.
This is not a lie, but from a legal point of view, the compensation for the Kandahar Province was actually paid to the Zhen family. When the Zhen family has time to come over and take over the construction, then there will be a fiefdom in the Beigui area. This is also
The reason why Cao's subordinates had somewhat fallen apart before.
Because of so many years of hard work, one mistake was made and he was directly harvested by the Zhen family.
Although when Chen Gong returned to Kandahar with Cao Cao, Kandahar seemed to have maintained normal stability, but in fact, various branches of the Zhen family had sent people into Kandahar to carry out surveying and construction in the area, and they were preparing to take advantage of the situation.
This is used as a nest.
Unlike what Zhen Yan said at the time, the Zhen family actually only wanted money, and when Cao Cao paid back everything that was due, the Cao family had always lived in Kandahar, and the Zhen family had no interest in it. The various branches of the Zhen family were true.
I am very interested in Kandahar among the mountains.
Of course, from a legal point of view, it is not illegal for the Zhen family to take away the Kandahar compensation paid to their family. However, after the head of the family, Zhen Yan, opened his mouth, the major branches completely ignored Zhen Yan. Such behavior was a bit too shameless, but
The Cao family had no place to say this. After all, what they did was worse. There was no way to refute the Zhen family's behavior. After all, Kandahar did pay compensation to the Zhen family.
As for Zhen Yan, in fact, I still don’t know the major branches of the Zhen family. In fact, a lot of manpower has been invested in Kandahar. I thought that the main force of their family is in Media.
"You guys!" Zhen An angrily scolded several other clan elders with a bit of rage.
As an old man who was the clan elder when Mrs. Zhang was in power, Zhen An obviously has deeper qualifications and greater power than other newly appointed clan elders. After a test, Zhen Ming's answer allowed him to confirm this group of people.
What he did made Zhen An furious on the spot.
"It's as if you didn't mobilize manpower to go to Kandahar." After being shocked for a moment by Zhen An's violent roar, the clan elder Zhen Ming retorted with a livid face.
"I mobilized manpower to build Kandahar and to reserve a safe zone for our Zhen family in the mountains and ridges of Beigui, just like Chengdu in Sichuan!" Zhen An turned to Zhen Ming with a sharp roar.
scolded angrily.
"What you say is better than what you sing, so why don't we discuss it and allocate manpower to build it together." Zhen Mo, a relatively younger clan elder, said with a sneer, "Don't think that we don't know what you think. It's really like what you said.
, why did you mobilize manpower secretly?"
"That's because that idiot Zhen Yan gave up on Kandahar and said that he would let the Cao family continue there and pay it back when he has money later!" Zhen An said with a sinister glare at the people in front of him, "We Zhen An
How can we allow outsiders to occupy our home?"
Zhen Yan actually has no concept of money anymore. When he goes out to eat, drink, whore and gamble, in Zhen Yan's case, he can't spend much money at all. After all, Zhen Yan doesn't have any gambling addiction, and even the real uncles who open casinos, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, from then on
After extorting money several times, Zhen Yan felt a little embarrassed.
The main reason is that Zhen Yan is the real one, and he does not ask Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang for it. Considering that the three parties are all princes, there is no contradiction in themselves.
If Zhen Yan doesn't care, they won't be able to tolerate it.
In this way, Zhen Yan, who only pursues eating, drinking and having fun, has enough money for Zhen Yan to spend more than ten lifetimes. What's more, the Zhen family's money itself is constantly increasing in value, and it can never be spent all.
Therefore, based on the idea of benevolence and righteousness, considering that Cao Cao was already miserable enough, there was no need to add insult to injury, the proposal Zhen Yan gave at that time was to let the Cao family continue to occupy Kandahar, and pay it back when they have money in the future, as long as the IOU is drawn up, and the rest
Don't care at all.
But just because Zhen Yan had this idea, it didn't mean that everyone else had this idea. After Zhen Yan spoke up, the only person in the Zhen family who really gave up the idea completely was Zhen Yan's younger brother Zhen Yao, and Zhen Yao was actually unwilling to do so.
I didn't want to, but it was rare that my brother asked for it, so I compromised.
Although in this matter, Zhen Yao also felt that his own brother was mentally retarded. This is Kandahar, why don't you want it if you don't want it? This is a feudal country that can increase its own value.
"So we are outsiders too?" Zhen Ming looked at Zhen An and said with a sneer.
Zhen Yan did not allow it, so they all did it secretly. None of the clan elders took Zhen Yan seriously.
No need to be so sneaky.
It is precisely because of this sneakiness that although the clan elders of each lineage knew that other lines were also tampering with this aspect, they never considered that it would be so outrageous when things broke out.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Zhen Yao immediately came to the lobby where the clan was holding a meeting. He was startled when he saw Zhen Yan sitting coldly at the top, followed by two strong men in full armor.
However, seeing his own brother coming over, a smile naturally appeared on Zhen Yan's stern face. Seeing this, Zhen Yao also nodded, intending to talk to Zhen Yan, but when he saw his bodyguard running in all the way, he couldn't help but scold him.
"My lord!" The guard saw Zhen Yao scolding him, lowering his head and stopping, then walked over quickly, and then whispered, "Media's second secret report has been delivered, it is a blood letter from Brother Lou."
Zhen Yao was shocked when he heard this, and quickly took the secret report. No matter what the content was, it would be good to have information, and if Lou Jing could send the secret report, he would at least know who the opponent was and what the situation was, so that the Zhen family could recover later.
However, the content of the secret report made Zhen Yao's face turn green, and even the hand holding the secret report trembled, "Bastards, they are all bastards!"
Zhen Yao's furious voice sounded very harsh in the lobby where there were only a few people. Seeing this, Zhen Yan couldn't help but yelled, "Why are you making such a fuss! If you have anything to do, wait until the clan meeting is over."
"Why should we hold a clan meeting? Brother, organize the manpower and kill those clan elders first!" Zhen Yao said to Zhen Yan with blood-red eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhen Yan frowned. Although he planned to kill a few ignorant clan elders, gather power with iron and blood, and then fight to the death, he never thought of destroying all the clan elders.
"Brother, Media has fallen! Do you know how it fell?" Zhen Yao looked at Zhen Yan angrily and said, "Of the more than 2,400 Zhen family guards, when Media fell, I was the only one with my name.
The two hundred people below are in Media, and the entire Media is completely empty!"
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment. He was not a fool, he just liked a happy life of debauchery. At least he knew how many guards the Media Trading City should have.
"Where is the Roman Eagle Banner Legion?" Zhen Yan asked after a moment of confusion.
"I left last year. After the other party submitted the report and it was approved by both parties, our Zhen family will take care of it." Zhen Yao said loudly, "The entire Midia Trading City is a big city about 15 kilometers in circumference.
, with only two hundred guards, how can it not fall?"
This is what Zhen Yao has never been able to understand before. With the city defense of Media and his more than 2,400 elite guards, even if he encounters a surprise attack, he can guard the four gates and then organize the young men in the city to defend.
It was impossible to fall suddenly, and the situation is now clear as a result.
"Where are the guards? Where are the guards!" Zhen Yan seemed to have come to his senses and asked angrily.
"It's gone. At least the guard captain I arranged, Lou Jing, said they were the only ones with less than two hundred people." Zhen Yao said bitterly, "The clan elders transferred the guards away, but Media Trading City itself does not allow it.
The guards of the foreign merchants entered. After all, there is a large amount of prohibited materials inside. If the foreign merchants also bring guards, it will be very dangerous if they are armed. "
There were never a few armors and crossbows in the trading city of Media. Therefore, when the Han Dynasty and Rome agreed, considering the management costs, only the Seventh Eagle Banner Legion of Rome and the fully armored guards arranged by the Han Dynasty were allowed to enter Midea.
Dia Trading City.
Other legions or large-scale escorts need to be accompanied by local elites from the Han Dynasty or Rome to enter the trading city of Media.
It's almost like a five-star hotel in some unsafe places abroad. Only the security guards arranged by the hotel are allowed to hold weapons and be equipped with body armor. No one else is allowed to hold weapons no matter what they think. This kind of behavior is very serious.
It has improved the security and professionalism of Media Trading City.
Similarly, the trading city of Media has been able to prosper over the years for this reason. After all, the credibility of the Han Dynasty and Rome guarantees that the security of this trading city is completely trustworthy.
In turn, because of the credibility guarantees of both Rome and the Han Dynasty, no one has ever thought of trading the city of Media for so many years. Even a figure like Ardashir, who is considered a hegemon in Central Asia, has been placed in Media.
The manpower of Dia Trading City was just buying and selling certain things obediently, and they had never thought of taking down Media Trading City directly.
After all, doing this kind of thing offends the two powerful empires of the existing and Eurasian plates. Therefore, from the first day when Ma Chao was stationed in Media, Media Trading City has never been attacked, even if it is peaceful.
The thieves will also bypass this area.
Anyone who can be a bandit leader, unless he is a wild dog like Haftan, at least has some understanding of the distribution of power in the world, and a wild dog like Haftan is not enough without such knowledge of the distribution of power in the world.
A member of the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps under Ma Chao.
Therefore, from the first day when Media Trading City was established, there has not been any turmoil in this place. The merchants who buy and sell here have naturally become accustomed to this environment. The number of built-in guards in the city will naturally decrease. After all,
Each guard costs money.
I believe in the strength of Rome and the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to doubt the professionalism of the empire. Over time, except for a few guys who sell prohibited materials and will bring a few guards in the city of Media, most merchants have gradually become accustomed to entering Midea.
There is no need to worry about being robbed in Dia Trading City.
The elders of the Zhen family were not stupid, on the contrary, they were very smart, but it was precisely because of this smartness that they were killed.
It is true that no one dares to attack the trading city of Media, but that is just a normal situation. Under abnormal circumstances, such as the current Parthian survivors who refuse to surrender to the Han Dynasty and have no grass to eat because of the second round of locust plague, Media
There is nothing that they dare not fight.
Will you die if you fight? Maybe! But if you are lucky enough to grab food and hide in the mountains of the Iranian plateau, not only will you not die, but your whole family may survive.
If they were beaten, would they be skinned, dismantled, and devoured? Absolutely not, and they were not even qualified to enjoy such treatment. The morals of the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty were, at best, to build their enemies into imperial palaces.
But is this worth being afraid of?
not worth it.
When the hungry Parthian remnants had nothing to eat, they would really peel off the skins and bones of their fellow Parthian remnants and devour them. If that was the case, why not do it?
The trading city of Media actually fell in such a simple way. There was no reason. It was just a group of Parthian survivors who refused to naturalize and were abandoned by Er Cui, Yang, Wei, and Guo Liuyin. They were still there.
Before they formed a group, they tried to attack the Yang family, the Wei family, etc., but they could not defeat the tightly defended Uburg.
After many people died and turned into food, these people could only find everything they could eat and migrate to other directions, and then gathered together.
Laguerre wanted to help. After all, he was also a Parthian. Even if he was a nobleman, after suffering so much hardship, he had somewhat realized something, so he was willing to help the refugees in his homeland who were also Parthians, but his
Due to limited abilities, conflicts broke out with hundreds of thousands of refugees who had gathered together at that time, and they had to part ways in the end.
Before leaving, Laguerre pointed out the way to these Parthian refugees, "Go west. There is food in the city of Media to the west, and maybe there will be enough for you."
In fact, the road that Laguerre pointed to was completely out of good intentions, because in his impression, Media had a strong city, a garrison, and elites from Han and Rome. If these hundreds of thousands of refugees rushed over, there would only be casualties.
It was tragic and blood flowed like rivers, but when he tried his best to help, these refugees broke out in riots, robbed him of his own limited rations, and even killed many war horses.
After explaining this, Laguerre left, and had no idea of rescuing these refugees. In his opinion, he tried his best to rescue these refugees, but these damn bugs robbed him of rations and killed his horses. He did not kill them.
The reason why they attracted this group of people was because they were so numerous and their eyes were as green as hungry wolves.
But Laguerre didn't expect that after the refugees who parted ways with him were forced to move westward and choose the dead end he pointed out, they would actually succeed in capturing Media.
Or to be more direct, it should not be said that it successfully conquered Media, but that it was completely undefended. Just like Media, which never sleeps in the city, after moving westward and gathering other tributaries, there were more than 300,000 refugees. Along the city
The gate arched into the city of Media.
That's right, it's not an attack, it's an attack.
The entire city of Media fell in such a ridiculous way. This is what the intelligence officers of various agencies saw in the shouts of death before dawn. However, after hundreds of thousands of refugees poured in, the prosperity of Media disappeared in an instant.
Disintegrated and sealed in the treasury, the quick-growing rice, which even most Han people found unpalatable, was undoubtedly the best delicacy in the mouths of Parthian refugees.
As for the four or five gloves that are currently short of money and are selling banned materials, the total number of guards under their command is less than fifty, let alone just fifty guards. Even if fifty guards are separated from their bodies, they will not be able to fight against the violence of hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Under the onslaught of fear of death, there is only one way to die. What's more, the guards of the four or five families are not in the same place, how can they fight against the Parthian refugees who do not care about life and death because of their stuttering.
In the same way, the Zhen family had less than two hundred guards left in Media Trading City. Facing this situation where the enemy had already rushed into the city, they were of no use at all. Lou Jing and his men worked hard to kill them.
After a wave of enemies, they can only retreat to the government office in the city and defend to the death.
At that time, Lou Jing had no idea what was going on. He could only see the fire in all directions and hear the roars all over the city. Media collapsed and fell in a battle. He was not sure about anything, but it was true.
This is how the information about the fall was transmitted.
But at dawn, unlike others, Lou Jing, who had been supporting the government office, finally determined the identity of the enemy, but by this time it was too late. Midea had no shortage of weapons and equipment. Even if Lou Jing and others were superhuman, they were deeply aware of the situation.
If he is trapped in the enemy's formation, he will only die.
This kind of death is extremely humiliating for Lou Jing. As a veteran who has experienced many battles, he already knows what happened and also knows that he was tricked to death by the Zhen family. The so-called patrol at the top of the city and the so-called secret sentry at night.
, has never existed.
That's right, Media, which has never existed and can be called the city that never sleeps, has no curfew or lockdown. He has been here for too long and has long been accustomed to all this.
Even though he was worried when he first came, as time went by, he got used to this kind of life. Midea, who had also never been attacked, gave people too much confidence, which caused many things to have changed.
became formalism.
After Ma Chao left, Media had no peripheral city defenses or garrisons, but Ma Chao left many times, and there was never any trouble in Media.
After most of the Zhen family's guards had withdrawn, there was no patrol or protection in Media. However, after the Zhen family had been gone for so long, Media Trading City was still running smoothly.
It's as if the Trading City of Media doesn't need any guards at all, it just needs the glory of Rome and the Han Dynasty to cover the place, and that's it.
However, the appearance of the Anxi hungry people broke all this and brought Media Trading City into reality. The previous stability was only because others dared to stroke the tiger's beard, but now Han Luo's majesty is not worth it in the face of life and death.
carry.
It's the end of the month. Those who have votes should vote. It's miserable.
