V3.Chapter 39 (2/2)
So soon after those messengers ate rabbit soup, they all died!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Gu encourages all the people to escape together. He and his remaining brother Ji Jian also mingle in it - but Ji Jian is unlucky. He was found by the patrolman and killed on the spot after escaping a short distance!
It was Ji Gu who got into Cao's castle.
Here we have to say that caojia castle is called castle. There is indeed a fortress, but it is different from ordinary fortress.
As mentioned earlier, some people were forced to live in the wasteland at the junction of Wei and di because of taxes or land rent. At the risk of being slaughtered by the Di people and investigated by the government of the great Wei Dynasty, Cao family castle is such a place.
It is said that when such unruly people come out of the territory, the government will always suppress them. It's just that the fortress of caojia castle is so good in terrain - the word ”one man at a time, one man at a time, one man can't open it” is made for this place!
According to Shen Youyi, this caojia Castle actually has neither walls nor solid buildings - because it doesn't need any! This place, on three sides, is like a sharp cliff cut by a knife and axe. The place with the highest cliff is tens of feet! When the siege cloud car arrived, I could only look at it and sigh Actually, the cloud car can't arrive, because the river under the cliff is not turbulent, but it's enough to submerge the cloud car base
And the west is cold and bitter. The cliff is not as full of Ficus pumila as the South Cliff. It's totally impossible to expect that there will be such a tenacious old vine growing for hundreds of years for the surprise soldiers to attack
So unless we have wings, we can only think about attacking from these three sides!
And the rest is the only way up.
This road is a real one! The path to the most experienced Porter, pick up a pair of baskets have to lean on the rope to hold some baskets, in order to avoid not always rubbing against the rocks on both sides
Such a Jedi has made those who want to attack despair!
Most of all, this Jedi place is not small! There are about three thousand people in caojiabao. They can live on top of each other. They even have fields There are mountain springs In addition to salt, they also need to come out to buy, they can completely seal the only path, live a leisurely life in a paradise, and completely self-sufficient!
Although the Shen family is strong and strong, most of them are prepared for the Di people. Previously, from Shen Yujia to Shen zangfeng, they all stared at the life of Qiu Dida alone with mu Huer. Where has the Kung Fu to manage such a nest Er, Diao Min can say, but it's not enough to say that the traitor - Cao family castle has such a unique environment, but has always been very cautious, and doesn't do any business without money, so that when the government exterminates these strongholds that cultivate on the land of Wei but don't pay taxes to Wei, they haven't been listed.
After all, they don't make trouble - they don't pay taxes. It's easy to cover up. Xiliang is not the south of the Yangtze River. A large area of land is reduced to a battlefield. Even the officials in the Yamen who are specially in charge of this area don't know the exact number of acres. It's mainly the good farmland of today, which may become a battlefield tomorrow. The battlefield of today, which may be cultivated in a few daysBut if these people who steal farming and planting come out to do business when they are idle, the government can't wait!
After all, no one is willing to worry about his family when he is fighting with Di people. Don't let robbers take advantage of the situation!
The Shen family is very strong at this point. As long as there are bandits in Xiliang, whether the Di people jump in or the Wei people make trouble, they will immediately suppress them! And for such bandits, the Shen family never recruits them. Generally, they are all chicken and dog, full of owls!
Up to now, almost no one has been spared, except for a very small number of people who dare to violate this article, who are too few in number, too secretive in their hiding places and inconvenient for the army to exterminate.
Caojiapu's cleverness and terrain are the basis of its existence for decades.
However, several Castle owners of caojia castle are also very interesting. The number of people in the castle is always controlled at 3000. After the number reaches 3000, if anyone tries to join the castle for a living, he excuses that there is no room in the castle and refuses to accept it.
Moreover, we should try our best to meet the requirements of the government, the Shen family and the local people in Xiliang.
So Xiliang up and down, for the existence of caojiapu is also a blind eye. Vertically and horizontally, the people in Cao's castle are just mixed food - even if the local taxes are paid, they really can't collect much.
There are three thousand people, no big deal. It's really a civil commotion. It's hard to hide it completely.
“…… At that time, a family uncle was sent to Cao's castle to take the picture of Ji Gu. At that time, it was more than ten years since Ji Gu escaped without trace. ” Shen Youyi sighed, ”he was a teenager when he escaped, and his appearance may change when he grows up. But the family thought that he had a good skill in medicine. What place would there be too many doctors of Ji family? Cao family castle has eight out of ten meetings to take him in! After entering the castle, as long as you inquire from the medical skill, you are not afraid that there will be no clue among 3000 people! ”
Wei Chang Ying frowned and asked, ”and then?”
”Then I heard that Cao family castle saved a shabby young man after Ji Gu escaped, and that he could get medical skills.” Shen Youyi sighed, ”it's a pity that the young man was saved by the people of caojiabao and had not eaten for many days. He was dying! Because he knew medicine, he was brought into the castle with an exception He used the medicine accumulated in the castle to recuperate himself for a while, but he survived... ”
Wei Changying is surprised and says: ”isn't it alive? How did you die later? ”
