Although it is a large city, the urban layout of Wancheng is not much different from that of most small counties of this era. Two wide official roads connect the four city gates, dividing the city into four parts, with facilities such as government offices in the center.
, other places are residential buildings.
Wang Yu and others entered the city from the north gate. On both sides of the official road, there were dense residential areas and commercial areas. Shops and houses were lined up in rows, well-proportioned, and very large. Ladies and merchants came in droves, and they were noisy and crowded.
The bustling and prosperous scene makes people forget that they are in troubled times.
No wonder celebrities from all over the world flocked to Jingzhou to take refuge. Wancheng, which had experienced war, was like this. What about Nanjun, which had always enjoyed peace and prosperity and was even more prosperous than Nanyang?
Although he came here to relax, Wang Yu's thoughts couldn't help but focus on military matters, thinking about Nanjun from Nanyang, and then thinking about the issue of the base area.
It is necessary to defeat Dong Zhuo. If he gives up halfway, all the previous efforts will be wasted. However, he has not yet decided whether to use Luoyang as his base after conquering Luoyang. Regardless of occupying it or not, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the specific situation must be analyzed in detail.
OK.
Now it seems that Jingzhou is also a good place. Can we pay attention here?
Wang Yu was distracted, but Diao Chan and Huamei were extremely excited. The two girls were like butterflies in flowers, flying around on both sides of the street, attracting countless people's attention and spreading laughter like silver bells.
Walking into Nanyang City, mixed with the bright sunshine, adding to the sense of peace.
Wang Yu felt a little surprised at first. Although Wancheng was prosperous, it was still far behind Luoyang City. But after thinking about it, he understood.
Although they are in Luoyang City, they are restrained in a cage in the back garden of the palace. The two girls probably go out very rarely. Even if they go out, most of them can only be in a carriage with heavy curtains.
I could hear the commotion outside, but I had no chance to see it, let alone participate in it.
Wang Yu had a lot on his mind at the moment, but thinking of this, he still felt a strong sense of pity in his heart. This elf-like woman had such a rough fate, how could one not feel pity for her?
The two girls didn't have any specific goal when they went shopping. They just looked at new things when they saw them and tasted whatever was edible.
There were no chili peppers in this era, but Hunan people seemed to have a deep-rooted love for the spicy taste. The area was rich in spices such as dogwood and amaranth. The spiciness may not be as pure as chili peppers, but the fragrant flavor is not much worse than chili peppers.
There are many spicy snacks in Wancheng. Diao Chan, a girl from Hunan, is very good at it, but Huamei is not so good. The little girl was coaxed by Diao Chan to take a sip of the spicy soup. Her face turned red from the spicy food, and she stretched out her cute lips like a puppy.
The little tongue kept slapping with her hands, while her evil-minded sister was laughing beside her, her branches trembling, and killing many eyeballs around her.
Seeing Wang Yu looking over, Diao Chan blinked maliciously and said with a sweet smile: "Xiao Shou, would you like to take a sip too? It's delicious."
"No...hiss...Brother Shou, please don't...Huamei's tongue is about to catch fire, spicy, so spicy, I want to drink water..." Huamei kindly gave advice, and after saying that, she held the water cup.
Another gulp.
Wang Yu nodded towards the kind-hearted Huamei, calmly took the soup bowl from Diao Chan, drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and commented with unfinished thoughts: "Well, the taste is a little bad, but the aroma is very special.
It’s quite delicious.”
"Bah!" The water glass in Huamei's hand fell on the table. The little girl's eyes were wide open and she looked at Wang Yu without blinking. She didn't know that this elder brother had great powers, but this kind of drinking was spicy.
Tang's ability was far beyond her imagination, "Brother Shou... you are so awesome."
"Xiao Shou, have you been to Jingzhou before?" Diao Chan was also stunned. She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.
"No." Wang Yu snickered. He hadn't eaten anything in his previous life. Why are he afraid of this little battle? But this thing is really delicious, with more aftertaste than chili peppers.
Because of this little incident, Diao Chan was much quieter than before when they set off again, and her beautiful eyes kept lingering on Wang Yu. Huamei was still very lively, but she would stay away from shops selling food and drink, as if she was terrified.
It looks very interesting.
Wang Yu had something on his mind, and Diao Chan focused on Wang Yu. As a result, when they arrived, the three of them turned into thrushes to lead the way. The little girl was more interested in watching the excitement, so she would go wherever there were people, and wait until Wang Yu came back.
When God arrived, they found that the three of them had arrived near the military camp in the west of the city.
Xicheng is Sun Jian's camp. Although Wang Yu has long admired Jiangdong Tiger, he has no intention of visiting him. He is now one of the princes. If he wants to visit Sun Jian, he must follow the etiquette to avoid unnecessary trouble.
What surprised him was that a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the military camp, and fierce quarrels could be heard among the crowd.
Huamei held her hand, with a timid look on her face. She probably ran over to watch the fun, but was frightened by the quarrel.
"Let's go take a look."
Wang Yu smiled at Huamei to express his relief, and then smoothly pulled Diao Chan's delicate hand with his free hand. The moment the two hands touched, Diao Chan's hand trembled, but it soon calmed down.
The heat in my hands increased a lot, and two red clouds appeared on my pretty face.
Etiquette in the Han Dynasty was not as strict as it was after etiquette became popular. Although it was rare for boys and girls to hold hands while walking in the street, it was not a rare thing. It just seemed too close and made girls feel shy.
"Who dares to rush into the important place of the military camp? If you don't hurry up, get out and be careful of the military law!"
"Justice? Damn justice! If there is justice, can traitor Dong become the prime minister? Can he depose the emperor? The national crisis is at the forefront, and everything is focused on King Qin. Who dares to interfere with King Qin's great cause? Do you think that my general's sword is harmful?
!”
"Get out, get out!"
Wang Yu took a closer look and realized that the two parties in the dispute were not proportional at all. It was purely a quarrel between a group of people and one person. The group of people were all soldiers guarding the camp gate, and they surrounded a strong man aggressively.
, frothing at the mouth and shouting non-stop.
The strange thing is that these people all seemed to be veterans who had fought in the war. They looked angry and angry, but no one made a move against the man who was surrounded. They just shouted and cursed endlessly.
"I want to see Generals Yuan and Sun and ask them face to face. What crime did General Zhang commit, and General Sun actually killed him? What is General Sun's identity? He killed a governor without permission from the court, and why?
Is there a governor of a state? General Sun keeps saying that he wants to be loyal to the king. Is it based on his achievements in killing court ministers indiscriminately? I am not convinced and want to seek justice in person!"
Wang Yu took a look at the person who wanted to seek justice. He was not tall, but quite strong and impressive. He was between forty and fifty years old, with a broad face and an unconcealed look of dust. His speaking voice
Calm, powerful, and quite organized.
"Stop talking nonsense, what kind of status is my general? How can you, a little village leader, just see it?"
"General Yuan, haven't you seen it before? What's the result? Isn't it beaten with a stick? I advise you to be more honest. General Yuan has already appointed my general as the governor of Yuzhou, let alone Zhang Zi.
The evidence of weak force is conclusive. Even if there is no evidence of guilt, if my general wants to kill him, he will kill him if he wants to. What can you do? If you know the truth, leave quickly. Don't make my grandfathers angry. I won't show you mercy!"
"Zhao Sheng!" The strong man's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Have you forgotten all the kindness that Commander Zhang showed in promoting you? What's more, even if there is no personal favor, you still don't care about the court's laws and regulations.
?Being good at being a minister without clearing the canonical punishment through the court is a sign of troubled times and a sign of national destruction!"
As he said that, he turned around and wanted to shout to the people watching: "Fathers and fellow villagers of Nanyang, everyone must know how Zhang Shijun treated us Nanyang people when he was here! During the Yellow Turban Rebellion that day, Wan
The city has been restored to its current prosperity after being devastated by wars, and Zhang Shijun is indispensable! However, Zhang Shijun was killed, and General Sun killed the court minister without any reason without going to the court. How can we do it?
Are you watching like this?"
His words resonated with everyone, and there was a chorus of sighs.
"Zhang Shijun was a good man, and he died unjustly."
"In troubled times, these are troubled times. If someone kills the governor of a county, he will be killed."
"What is a prefect? Since General Sun started his army and went north, he has killed fewer officials. Wasn't he the one who killed Wang Shijun, the governor? The crime was simpler than killing Zhang Shijun. It only had the word 'ignorance'!"
"The laws of the Han Dynasty stipulate that officials with two thousand stones are not allowed to raise troops without any reason, and they are not allowed to cross the border when using troops..." The knowledgeable old man talked about the law, and then sighed: "General Sun is just the governor of Changsha, but he was beaten
The title of King Qin from the north was killed all the way. The thief hadn't seen it yet, but many of the officials of the imperial court had been killed. Alas, this great Han Dynasty is really... alas!"
Although everyone's feelings are more inclined to the side of seeking justice, they are only talking in low voices, and no one has any background to agree with them. Even the governor and the prefect kill at will. They are just ordinary people, and they dare to mess with them if they have a few heads.
That murderous tiger general?
Wang Yu knew nothing about this public case, but from an emotional point of view, he was more inclined to the strong man. As long as someone started to kill ministers without permission, the court would not pursue it or was unable to pursue it, then the separatist regime would
The wind will take shape.
It's easy to kill people, and it's easy to find reasons. No one will be held accountable afterwards. Officials in various places have to rely on themselves if they want to save their lives. Then everyone attacks each other, and troubled times have officially arrived.
The rise of troops by the Kwantung princes ushered in the troubled times, and Sun Jian's actions were a concrete manifestation of the troubled times. The officials he killed were all caught off guard. They waited until others knew about this precedent before confronting Sun Jian or others.
You will be much more cautious when dealing with colleagues who are strangers or even enemies with you.
Wang Yu had no intention of maintaining world peace, but he was very interested in this man who kept saying he wanted justice.
Nanyang is a place with many talented people. Those warriors know this person, but they dare not get angry and dare not take action. Moreover, this person values love and justice, and has unparalleled loyalty. When thousands of horses are silent, he dares to stand up and seek justice...
There are various signs that this person is probably not an ordinary character, and maybe he is a celebrity.
Who could it be? Wang Yu thought hard. He was in his forties, looked like a military general, and was an old subordinate of the Nanyang Prefect...
"Huang Hansheng, don't be so shameless, brothers. If he dares to speak nonsense again, let him be bloodied for five steps!"
Huang Hansheng?
Huang Zhong!
Wang Yu heard the tiger's body tremble. Sure enough, it was unintentional? He actually met Huang Zhong here!
