310 Counting in Counting
Chapter 310
This chapter is a bit unsatisfactory.
I had thought of a good plot before, but when I was writing it, I thought it was logically inconsistent, so I had to give up.
This is the situation I discovered when I wrote 2,500 words yesterday, so I failed yesterday.
As a result of this incident, Chongjia suddenly remembered that every winter, Chongjia was particularly looking forward to snowing. It was very snowing, which would make the house go away. Then Chongjia and his friends didn’t have to go to school and dig snow tracks. Just like the tunnel battle in the movie, they were digging well in the village, hiding in the winding and deep snow tracks to play snowballs, rolling snowballs, and building snowmen must be very interesting.
This fantasy has occupied Chongjia's mind for a long time, and even dreamed of it several times in his dreams.
I don’t know when, Chongjia no longer dreamed of digging snow tracks. I saw pictures of snow disasters on the Internet some time ago, and when I recalled this beautiful dream about snow, I only had a helpless smile on my face.
If so much snow, electricity, water, heating, and even food will have problems. Judging from our country's disaster relief capabilities and the operations of departments at all levels, I don't know how many people will die by then.
This is not interesting, it is obviously a disaster.
However, Chongjia's brain is in the period of active vitality throughout his life, and his thinking has not stopped here, but he thinks about the Internet theory field he is currently engaged in, but is not a full-time job.
Why do some so-called white articles make some readers scold them while making some readers feel very happy? This is really an interesting question. Can we find some answers to learn from this beautiful dream about snow in Chongjia’s childhood?
Haha, Chongjia actually has no sarcasm when he said this. He just thought about it temporarily and found it very interesting, so he said it out for everyone to try to experience it. In fact, it is really difficult to achieve both pleasure and logic based on high volume. Of course, as long as you persist in achieving both benefits, you will definitely achieve great success.
Finally, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I wish you all a happy holiday in advance and lovers will finally get married.
'Your soul egg wants to use sweet words to win over me and you and tie it to the same rope?'
Cao Pi said in his heart hatred.
After Cao Pi was deceived many times, he was naturally very clear about Sima Yi's intention.
However, Cao Pi was not a reckless person. Although he had seen Sima Yi's intention clearly, he did not show it. Instead, he looked at Sima Yi after being stunned for a moment, and pointed at the other party with a trembling finger, giving people a feeling of being both resentful and helpless:
"You...you...you...you are so despicable Sima Zhongda. Your move to go up the house and pull the ladder is so vicious that I have no way out and can only continue to be in a mess with you."
Sima Yi pointed at Cao Pi and laughed, saying:
"Have you never heard of it? Those who want to accomplish great things are not conservative. Now that things have come to this point, if the second son does not want to die at the hands of your eighth uncle Wu Fan, then he can only cooperate with me and conspire to kill Wu Fan. As long as Wu Fan dies, with the special identity of the second son, no one can get your life."
After hearing this, Cao Pi shook his head, his expression was full of helplessness, and he said as if he was talking to himself:
"No, I can't be obsessed with it anymore, and I can't frame my uncle..."
Whether it is expressions or words, Cao Pi feels hesitant at this time and is extremely contradictory.
Sima Yi grabbed Cao Pi's hand and continued:
"Second Young Master, are you just thinking of dying at Wu Fan in an unknown way? Don't hesitate anymore, you don't have time to hesitate."
Cao Pi's eyes became confused and he murmured:
"Yes, there is no time, no time anymore... What should I do? What should I do..."
Sima Yi saw the needle and said again:
"It's very simple. If you don't want to die, then cooperate with me and conspire to kill Wu Fan. Otherwise, just pretend I didn't say anything, and after Wu Fan led his army to attack this Xiaojing, he cut you into two with a halberd."
The following sentence made Cao Pi tremble all over, he glanced at Sima Yi, and then lowered his head silently. After a long time, under Sima Yi's staring, Cao Pi finally spoke:
"Uncle Eight, I'm sorry, I really don't want to die..."
After hearing this, Sima Yi laughed again, smiling happily. Cao Pi kept lowering his head, as if he was guilty, but in his eyes there was a ray of resolute light passing away.
...
At the same time, Wu Fan had already rode his horse with many of his soldiers in front of Xiaojingli Village, and a 150,000 army surrounded this village with a radius of only two or three miles like an iron barrel.
As mentioned earlier, Xiaojingli is the territory of the Sima family and has been in charge for a long time. After Sima Yi took Cao Pi to escape back to Xiaojingli, he spread rumors to his clan members: Wu Fan will lead heavy troops to Xiaojingli next; he will step into fans here, and no one from the Sima family will keep it. It will be useless to vent his hatred even if I hand over me out.
The clan members naturally hated the disaster caused by Sima Yi. However, the fact is already so, no matter how much they hate it, it would be useless. Especially after learning that Wu Fan had indeed led a heavy army to Xiaojingli, the clan members were even more frightened and locked the Zhuangmen several days in advance, and distributed swords, guns and sticks to the young and middle-aged man in the clan, intending to fight the army led by Wu Fan to the death.
However, facing the 150,000 elite regular troops, the temporary team of Zhuang Ding, which had only a few more than 100 people, was too shabby.
Wu Fan rode his clitoris and walked to the front of the village gate a thousand meters. He looked at the dozens of monks standing on the wall of the village. He didn't say anything, but looked back at the back. The messenger understood and rode his horse forward. He came to the six or seven hundred meters in front of the village gate and shouted loudly to the village:
"The people inside listened to me that I was the commander of the General of Wu, the Second Army, and told you at the order of the General of Wu, that Sima Yi and the second prince Pi conspired to frame the General of Wu, and the crime was unforgivable. You have been hiding the serious crimes according to the law. However, the General of Wu is a virtuous person and does not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Therefore, as long as you hand over Sima Yi and Cao Pi, you can protect your life without any damage and your family will not be broken. Otherwise, as long as the General of Wu gives the order, you will die without a complete body, and blood flows into a river within ten miles."
As soon as these words came out, the Sima tribe, who originally thought he would die, was surprised. They whispered and talked a lot.
After about half a minute, the messenger shouted loudly again, asking the inside to answer Wu Fan.
Not long after the messenger finished speaking, a crack was opened in the village gate, and an old man with gray hair and beard walked out of it under the escort of more than a dozen Zhuang Dians.
After the old man and Zhuang Ding walked out of the village gate, the village gate behind him was immediately closed again, obviously still vigilant.
Looking at Wu Fan from afar, the old man walked tightly for a while and stopped about five hundred meters away from Wu Fan. He bowed respectfully to Wu Fan and said:
"Falassing the elders of the country, old man Sima Yun, has met Governor Wu."
Wu Fan looked at the other party quietly without any expression.
After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Sima family harbors serious offenders in this filial piety. It is the greatest courtesy to let them go. On this basis, there is no need to talk about any more respect, otherwise it will seem inappropriate.
Stand up, Sima Yun said:
"I dare to ask General Wu, if we hand over Sima Yi and the second son, will we be exempted from all the crimes and no punishment?"
Wu Fan said with a blank expression:
"The messenger has made it very clear just now."
Sima Yun repeatedly claimed yes, then hesitated for a while, and finally asked:
"The old man dared to ask General Wu again. General Wu said he wanted to pardon us. Can we have relevant documents as certificates? Or... General Wu planned to write a formal document in person... and hand it over to us?"
Sima Yun asked this to make Wu Fan angry.
However, as the village chief, he must be responsible for the lives of more than a hundred families in Feijing. As long as he agrees, everyone in Feijing will put down their weapons and let Wu Fan deal with it, whether they are alive or dead. From this perspective, it is understandable that he asks this question.
Wu Fan glanced at Sima Yun with some displeasure and said:
"You can refuse to hand over Sima Yi and the second son."
The implication is: There is no document. If you think my verbal promise is untrustworthy, then let go and fight with my 150,000 troops.
Sima Yun was choked, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wu Fan, and repeatedly complained. Then, after weighing the pros and cons, Sima Yun finally decided to open the village gate and hand over Sima Yi and the second son Cao Pi.
...
The next moment, Wu Fan led a team of about a thousand people to the gate of Sima Yi's courtyard.
This is a large house. Although it is not as high and deep as the official house, it is also tall and has a wide house. The courtyard walls open four gates in four directions. From this point, it is enough to see that the area of this house covers an extraordinary area.
After Sima Yun agreed to hand over Sima Yi and Cao Pi, all the tribe members in the village put down their weapons and opened the village gate to welcome Wu Fan and his generals to lead some soldiers into the village.
However, Sima Yi and Cao Pi have not handed over for a long time. The reason is very simple: Sima Yi "resisted to arrest". Most of the people in the village are Sima family, and they have some relatives and blood relationships when discussing each other. Therefore, it is difficult to force Sima Yi's house, so they led Wu Fan and others here.
At this time, Wu Fan led more than a thousand people to the south-facing main gate, accompanied by him, two generals, Ling Tong and Ding Feng. Others, such as Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, etc., each led a team of soldiers to guard the east, west and north gates. There were about 30,000 soldiers divided into three rows of walls to guard them.
In short, it just surrounded this house and didn't even think of flying out
After listening to all the messengers reporting from various commands, Wu Fan immediately ordered the soldiers around him to break open the gate of the courtyard.
He now wants to tear Sima Yi, who almost killed his wife and daughter, into pieces. Waiting for one more second is a torture for him.
The courtyard gate is made of perennial willow wood. It is thick and tall, with a very tough texture. Three or five strong men cannot do anything to it. However, the individual soldiers under Wu Fan are all over 900, and they are all elites who have been through the battlefield for a long time. How can they be compared with the strong men in the market?
About three minutes later, a dozen thunder cavalrymen, with the last roar, thundered the gate of the courtyard and rushed into the courtyard first. Other thunder cavalrymen followed closely and rushed in.
A thousand Xun cavalry quickly occupied the front yard. When they rushed to the intermediate yard, the soldiers suddenly stopped. Wu Fan, who was waiting for news in the front yard, soon received a reply from the soldiers returning from the intermediate yard, saying that Sima Yi and Cao Pi had been subdued by their servants and were currently in the lobby of the intermediate yard.
After hearing the news, Wu Fan hesitated for a moment, and said nothing, followed the messenger through the front yard and entered the intermediate yard. When he came to the front of the soldiers, he looked into the lobby more than a hundred meters away. He saw Sima Yi and Cao Pi knelt in the hall with their hands tied on their backs, their hair was messy, and their clothes were a little damaged. It seemed that they had even had a fight. Beside the two, there were several servants holding single swords.
Seeing Wu Fan wearing a bright helmet and armor appear in front of the soldiers, an elderly servant in the hall walked to the door and asked Wu Fan loudly: The current person is the Grand Commander-in-Chief Wu.
Without Wu Fan's answer, there are soldiers next to him who respond.
The elderly family members turned sideways and pointed at Sima Yi and Cao Pi who were kneeling in the hall with their hands, saying that these two were seriously guilty and should be punished for their crimes. We servants did not want to be with them at first, so that their wealth and life were implicated. We learned that the village chief had agreed to open the village gate to attract the military horses of the Wu Grand Commander into the village. We were glad, but we forced us to become enemies with the military horses of the Wu Grand Commander and resisted stubbornly. Therefore, we took advantage of the two of us not paying attention to the general and entrusted them to the military horses of the Wu Grand Commander and dealt with.
Amid Sima Yi's curse, the servant finished speaking and waited for Wu Fan to speak. However, Wu Fan did not reply immediately, and his expression seemed to be casually looking at the architectural layout in the yard.
Of course, the casual expression on Wu Fan's face was fake. In fact, he was deliberately looking at all the buildings in the courtyard, including bluestone paved on the ground, whether there was any suspicion.
Wu Fan didn't pay attention to what the elderly servant said. Because he could understand the situation in front of him just by looking at it, he had already understood what the elderly servant said, just like lines, so there was no need to listen carefully again. On the contrary, Wu Fan used the time when the elderly servant spoke to carefully look at the situation around him.
In Wu Fan's opinion, Sima Yi's head should not make such a low-level mistake. In other words, the scene of Sima Yi and Cao Pi being subdued by their servants at this time is very likely to be a plot.
However, the reason why Wu Fan believes that Sima Yi "shouldn't" make such a low-level mistake, rather than "impossible" make such a low-level mistake is precisely the saying "There is no absolute in the world". Sima Yi is now at the end of the road without any dispute and may lose his life at any time. In this case, people's emotions will affect their IQ, and it is not impossible to do some stupid things.
Then, whether Sima Yi and Cao Pi were subdued by their subordinates was a plot, it needs to be verified from other factors.
I carefully observed the surrounding situation and found nothing unusual. There were even some grass growing in the gaps in the bluestone on the ground under my feet. It can be seen that there should be no ambush under the bluestone. The architectural layout of the entire intermediate courtyard is also very simple, with only the main hall in front of me and the two wing rooms a hundred meters away on both sides, and nothing else.
If you think about the voice of this elderly servant, it is very ordinary and is definitely not a warrior.
Could it be that I am suspicious?
At this time, Wu Fan couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The older family members' minds were not slow. After waiting for a while, they saw that Wu Fan had not spoken for a long time and did not move further. Based on the situation in front of them, they thought that Wu Fan might be suspected of having a fraud. Then they whispered to Wu Fan again:
"Governor Wu, don't you believe it? These two people have been subdued by us and are kneeling here. If you don't believe it, you can send a few soldiers to come and take a look. Or, let's take them down now?"
Before he finished speaking, Sima Yi cursed again.
Since all the words were said, Wu Fan could no longer remain indifferent. After jumping off the horse, Wu Fan raised his hand and signaled everyone behind him who were planning to walk with him not to move. Then, Wu Fan walked towards the door of the lobby alone.
Why did Wu Fan walk to the lobby in person? And didn't bring anyone else? The main reason for this is: Wu Fan always felt that there seemed to be some problems with Sima Yi and Cao Pi's capture, but he couldn't find out where the problem was.
In this case, Wu Fan did not want his subordinates to die innocently. After all, this incident was Sima Yi targeted his family; whether it was soldiers or generals, he had done enough for himself, especially the soldiers and civilians in Xihe who paid a huge price. Therefore, at this seemingly last moment, especially when there may be unpredictable dangers, Wu Fan did not want innocent people to die for this matter.
As Wu Fan walked towards the lobby, Sima Yi, who had been cursing, calmed down and lowered his head and said no longer. The air seemed to have frozen, and everyone held their breath and condensed their breath. Only Wu Fan's steady and powerful footsteps could be heard in his ears.
Suddenly, just as Wu Fan was about to step onto the stone steps at the entrance of the lobby, Cao Pi, who had been lowering his head, raised his head suddenly and shouted at Wu Fan:
"Uncle Eight, don't come here, there is an organization."
Wu Fan stopped immediately and quickly looked around, including the top of his head and under his feet.
At the same time, Sima Yi had already stood up, and the rope with his hands tied back fell off his body. With a smile, Sima Yi said to Cao Pi:
"Second young master, I knew you would have this trick, and you can't deceive me."
