Chapter 878
The only major events of the country are sacrifices and military affairs.
Sacrifice is the right to sacrifice. When paying attention to the destiny of heaven, the right to sacrifice is actually the legitimacy of the regime. Rong refers to military power. All powers are based on force. The word "Zheng" means a hand holding a wooden stick to a city symbolizing the country, representing conquest.
The army is violence and the basis for survival of the regime. Military power has always been in the hands of the supreme leader, and it is unacceptable for anyone to try to get involved in military power. Even in the 21st century when culture is prosperous, even in a democratic country, even if it is a democratic country, it will not tolerate private military power. Once military power falls into the hands of private people, it will be almost inevitable that civil war will be divided and civil war will be inevitable.
Why did Zhou Yafu have to die? Because the army listened to him, not to the emperor.
Sun Ce is a separatist with military power. How could he let such things happen under his own rule? He would rather develop slowly and would rather give up some famous generals like He Qi than give them the opportunity to hereditary military power. It is easy to give them military power, but it is difficult to take it back. In addition to his personal selfishness, he is more aware of the dangers of aristocratic families. It is definitely not a good thing for these families who have monopolized knowledge to master military power, whether it is for him or these families.
The victory of a clan often means the demise of countless clans.
Sun Ce not only rejected He Qi's request, but also warned him very harshly. If He Qi still held such thoughts, he would have to give up this famous general.
He Qi stumbled and retreated.
Seeing He Qi leave the tent, Sun Ce sighed. He thought for a while, sent someone to call Lin Feng, and added two thousand more people to him. Wu County is his foundation, so there is absolutely no accident. Lin Feng and these three thousand elites are his Dinghai Sword Needle. Even in the worst situation, they must be kept tight and wait for his help.
As the enemy is in front of him, he is not worried about Yuan Shao, but the Wu Hui family. The families in Yuzhou and Jingzhou are ready to move. Who can guarantee that the Wu Hui family will not take the opportunity to make trouble? Be prepared for any trouble and have heavy troops to guard them. They should be more awake and not act rashly.
Two days later, Sun Ce set up camp and led his troops to Qu'a.

Cangshan.
Taishici stood on a huge rock and looked down at the valley.
The winter in the south is not like the north, the climate is still warm and moist, and the mountains and fields are green and lush. Apart from the darker colors, there is basically no bleakness. Even the sharpest gaze will be confused by the green all over the mountain, making it difficult to see the enemies hidden in it.
But Taishici was not worried at all. He checked and pulled out four arrows from the arrow bag on his back. One branch was placed on the string, three branches were sandwiched in the palm of his hand, and pulled the three stone hard bow, and pulled the bow and shot the arrow. The four whistling arrows made a sharp roar, whistling away, and shot on the four big trees. The arrows penetrated deep into the trunks, the arrow feathers trembled, and the copper clang tied to the shaft made a crisp sound, which spread far from the quiet valley.
Footsteps sounded, and four teams of men appeared from different positions, running towards the position where the arrows were shot. They did not attack, but set up a blocking position and blocked the exit tightly, like a dense fence. Each team had few people, only a hundred people, and only twenty or thirty people were few, but the formation was neatly divided, with clear division of labor. The neatly-clad swords and shields stood on the low ground, and the crossbowmen in light armor climbed up the hillside like monkeys, seized the commanding heights, and were ready to go.
Taishici sat down on the huge rock, and the two guards brought two pots of arrows and placed them in his reach.
"Beat the drum, and persuade the surrender for the last time."
"Here." The guard turned around, shook the colorful flag in his hand, and issued an order. The messenger beat the war drum, and the thunderous drums were roaring. The powerful war drums echoed in the valley, and they were full of fighting spirit.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Nearly a thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the earth shook. After three sounds, they were silent again, making people wonder if the sudden roar just now was just an illusion. Because within the eyes, the number of people who could see was a total of up to 300 people.
The guards were unsheathed with swords and bowed and crossbows, staring vigilantly around them, but there was no sign of tension on their faces, and they could only have the confidence to win.
After more than four months of fighting with Taishici, they were already impressed by Taishici. With the three hundred divisions, two hundred county soldiers entered the mountain. Whether facing a small bandit with hundreds of people or a clan thief with tens of thousands of people, Taishici will win every battle and never lose. When the opponent has fewer people, he bullies the less. When the opponent has many people, he wins the more with less. When the opponent has many people, he wins the more with less. And the more people they fight, they will win.
It is not easy to become a subordinate of Taishi Ci. The Eastern Commander has two thousand people, and now there are more than 1,800 people. Almost everyone is selected by Taishi Ci himself. Not only should he be good at martial arts and strong, but he should also have a family, good character and responsible. Even if he is included in the rank, it does not mean that he can stay. If he does not train hard, fails to meet the requirements, or is greedy for life and death during combat, he may be dismissed at any time.
The reason why joining the army is so popular is that once it is enrolled, the families of soldiers can be assigned 30 acres of land. During the service, there is no need to pay rent or perform labor service. The government will give priority to plagiarism when it is affected by disasters. When there is surplus grain, the government will give priority to purchasing, and children of appropriate age can also give priority to enrolling in schools. Such good conditions not only attract a large number of ordinary people, but also play a good role in luring the bandits. Taishi Ci can also choose and pick up with high standards and strict requirements, and form a real elite.
With this elite force, Taishi Ci was invincible and invincible. He wiped out the nearby bandits in just five months. Now he is surrounded by him, and if he defeats them, he can realize his promise to Sun Ce in advance.
Before the war drums were finished, a shout of killing suddenly sounded on the mountain behind Taishici. The grass and trees swayed, and more than a hundred bandits rushed down from the hillside and rushed straight to Taishici. At the same time, a large number of bandits wrapped in blue-black headscarves also emerged from the valley. They shouted and rushed towards the location where Taishici was.
"Kill Taishici, reward one million yuan, seal..." On the hillside a hundred steps away, a middle-aged general raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly, with a big flag behind him.
"It's only a million? It's outrageous." Taishi Ci snorted, raising his hand and letting an arrow go.
The arrow flew away. The middle-aged general glanced at Taishi Ci, looked at Taishi Ci, pushed away the guard who wanted to cover him, snatched a shield, and protected the door. The archery hundreds of steps was already the limit. He believed that the card in his hand could block Taishi Ci's arrow. He even thought about how to make fun of Taishi Ci later, and a sneer burst out from the corner of his mouth, revealing a yellow teeth.
"Puff!" The feather arrow penetrated the bamboo shield and shot his open mouth again, revealing from the back of his neck. His smile froze on the face of the middle-aged general. He took a step back, fell to the ground with a bang, and rolled down the hillside.
The bandits who were charging forward were in chaos and stopped their pace.
Seizing this opportunity, Taishici ordered an attack, pulled the bow, and shot more than ten arrows in one breath.
