They recruited a large number of desperadoes, who specialized in killing, robbing and raping women. They killed people on the road at dusk, which they called "beating."
Later, Xia Houhong was reported by his father and imprisoned in Dongye's prison, where he died while serving his sentence. Dong Xian was killed for committing adultery with Princess Wang of Yongyang. After the two were eliminated, the people gained some peace.
However, Xiao Deze still did not change his evil ways. Not only was he not punished, he was soon appointed as the Minister of Huangmen.
I really can't understand Xiao Yan's personnel appointments more and more. Is such an appointment serving the country or harming the country?
In addition to the countless evil deeds mentioned above, Xiao Deze also stole and minted money. He was really just like his father Xiao Hong, greedy for money.
Such a great god was appointed as the leader by Xiao Yan this time.
Ancient copper coins had an edge, whether it was a protruding edge like today's coins or a flat edge, there was always an edge. People cut off some of these edges and then re-cast them, whether it was a trimmed copper coin or a flat edge.
Those that were later melted and minted became counterfeit coins from ancient times. The copper content and weight of such counterfeit coins did not meet official requirements.
However, who is Xiao Deze? Who dares to say anything about the royal family? Xiao Deze's people use the money to spend it. The people don't know them and of course they don't accept it. But when the identity of King Linhe is revealed,
The common people dare not speak out when they are angry, but they have to sell them the items they need at the original price.
Along the way, Xiao Deze still recruited desperadoes. Therefore, wherever he went, he caught up with the Japanese from later generations and entered the village. All the women fled to hide, and after they left, they sneaked back. Anyone in the family felt that they were valuable.
, regardless of whether it was valuable in Xiao Deze's eyes, the people hid it anyway.
Those wealthy families were unlucky. Even if they hid such a large portion of their property, it was impossible to hide all of it. Xiao De was passing through the border, and a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and silver coins were looted from the wealthy families.
It is true that the geese plucking their feathers and the beasts leaving their skins caused widespread complaints. However, if Xiao Yan can tolerate Xiao Deze's past sins, he can naturally tolerate his current sins. So, what if there are widespread complaints and overwhelming public dissatisfaction?
When the news reached Ning Cheng and Huang Fu, Ning Cheng's eyes nearly popped out:
"Is the emperor of Liang Guo's brain okay? Can he be appointed to such a person?"
Huang Wei nodded:
"If such a person were released to Kunyu Country, he would have been sent to prison long ago. How could he be allowed to dance around."
Ning Cheng agreed very much. After getting along for more than half a month, Ning Cheng felt that at this moment, the two of them were finally thinking on the same line.
Just when I was about to say something about this unified thinking, I saw Huang Shen was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking, so he simply shut up to avoid damaging this state of being on the same line.
Huang Sui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly approached Ning Cheng and said:
"Xiao Yiwang, tell me, it's impossible to send back all the property he collected along the way right away. It's such a long way and how many people are needed to go back and forth. That King Linhe definitely can't use it.
Those desperadoes were escorted, but by the army? How many troops would they use..."
Ning Cheng waved his hands repeatedly:
"Stop, stop, stop, what are you going to say? Say the key points, don't think too divergently."
Huang Yan was still in his own thoughts and heard Ning Cheng's words. However, his thoughts did not come back and he responded absently:
"Hmm, no worries, I mean, Xiao Deze must have brought all these belongings with the army."
Ning Cheng seemed to understand what Huang Sui meant. He became more energetic, sat upright, and said excitedly:
“You mean——, we rob money?”
Huang Yan clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction:
"What's robbing wealth? It doesn't sound right. We call it robbing the rich to give to the poor. We are so poor in Kunyu. Since we have sent so much property, how can we let them take it back again?"
Ning Chengle laughed and patted Huang Yan on the shoulder:
"Okay, okay, let's rob the rich and give to the poor!"
Xiao Deze was confused, but he was not brainless.
After hanging out with these desperadoes for a long time, of course I know what kind of character these people are, and I will definitely not let them escort their property back. However, they cannot use the army. If they do not arrive at Wuxing State within the specified time, those people in the court will still be there. I don't know how to make a fuss. When the time comes, I'm afraid his uncle Xiao Yan won't be able to protect him, so he will never dare to use the army.
Although these troops were under Xiao Deze's command, except for those who had the same bad temper with him, no one else obeyed him. Therefore, the troops were relatively scattered and not very united.
However, Xiao De ignored all this and went his own way towards Wuxing State. He was not going to fight against Wei State. Using such a strong army would be like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
The border guards of Wuxing State were much more confident with the help of Kun Yu State, but in order not to alert the enemy, the soldiers followed Ning Cheng's suggestion and pretended to be panicked.
Ever since he knew that Xiao Deze was about to arrive, every day, every day, Huang Fu walked around the city wall with bright eyes. Others didn't know what Huang Fu was going to do. They just felt that the general's eyes were too bright, like a hungry wolf seeing food, which made people feel a little bit confused. Frightened.
A few days later, when the Liang army was bored, Ning Cheng was drinking tea in the room, but he started to take a nap while holding the tea bowl. The tea bowl tilted this way and that in his hand, as if it was about to fall to the ground in the next second.
Huang Yan rushed in like a gust of wind and grabbed Ning Cheng's shoulders. Now, Teawan, who was already in a dangerous situation, came into close contact with the ground.
Huang Yan didn't care about others, shook Ning Cheng's shoulders, and said excitedly:
"Coming! Coming! Quick! They are coming!"
Ning Cheng opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the big face in front of him. He felt as if he had seen the four little kids at home and almost drooled.
Huang Yan saw that he had woken up, and ran away with another gust of wind. From the yard, Huang Yan's voice quickly disappeared:
"Come quickly!"
Ning Cheng rubbed his eyes, looked at the broken tea bowl on the ground, sighed helplessly, and said to himself:
"I don't know whether he is happy that people have come, or that he is happy that money has come."
Stretching, he came to the city wall and saw Huang Yan standing at the crenel, looking into the distance. Although he tried his best to control himself, his hands with white joints still betrayed his excitement and turned around as he clung to the city wall. When he saw Ning Cheng, he broke into a smile that was more beautiful than a flower, attracting the attention of all the soldiers around him.
Ning Cheng sighed again, increasingly confused as to how Old General Huang Mi could teach such a divine man.
He walked over and stood next to Huang Fu, looking at the team slowly walking in the distance:
"The formations are scattered and the troops are sloppy. Is this still an army? I'm afraid the bandits are more organized and disciplined than them."
Huang Yan didn't seem to hear what he said, pointing to the baggage slowly moving behind the team:
"Look! There!"
Ning Cheng choked and was really happy that the money had come.
Xiao Deze came slowly with his army. He looked at the Wuxingguo Pass City, emerging from the horizon little by little. Then he looked at the flag on the city wall. It was still just the Wuxingguo flag, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
A desperado walking beside him bared his big yellow teeth and said cheerfully:
"Master, there will be a lot of valuable things in the city, right?"
Xiao De looked at him and said:
"That is, even in such a border city, there are rich households in it. Maybe they are not as rich as those in big cities, but rich households are rich households, how can they not have any money and water?"
The desperado rubbed his hands with a wretched look on his face:
"What I'm saying is that along the way, I have indeed collected a lot of money from wealthy families."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Deze expectantly.
Xiao De knew that these people had no moral principles and would fight back if they were not fed.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still said generously on the surface:
"You guys have worked hard on this journey. After taking this city, the money, items, and women inside will be divided among the brothers."
This man laughed happily and looked at Guancheng like a hungry wolf seeing delicious food, his eyes seemed to glow with a faint green light.
There was also a hungry wolf on the city wall, staring at their luggage with green eyes.
The great country of Liang came all the way, and Xiao De planned to go outside the range of the bow and arrow, show the majesty of the great country, give a speech, and then use this majesty to capture Guancheng:
Although the property in Guancheng was divided by my subordinates, there will be many cities and palaces in the future, especially the treasures of the palace. They must not be allowed to share them. They are all mine!
Xiao Deze happily thought about the scene of sleeping on something yellow and white, and then began to draft the manuscript on how to show his domineering power.
Walking next to Xiao Deze, the desperado with big yellow teeth bared and still thinking about what he would loot after the city was broken, suddenly fell from his horse without any warning.
Xiao Deze wanted to make a joke, but when he turned his eyes and looked over, he saw the bloody hole between the desperado's eyebrows and was horrified.
Before he could recover from the shock, several more people were hit, and Xiao De shouted:
"Back off! Back off!"
Everyone ran backwards without discipline, but the people behind didn't know what was happening and kept walking forward. As a result, they became huddled together with those retreating in front, making it difficult to move for a while.
Xiao Deze was so angry that he cursed in his heart. He turned around and looked at the city wall in panic, only to see that the flag with the word "Yi" appeared again among the flags that were just generals of Wu Xingguo.
Xiao Deze felt completely cold:
"Dear Xipi! It's Kun Yuguo!"
As the flag with the word "Yi" was raised, the soldiers behind also saw that the originally unorganized and undisciplined army suddenly broke into a rout. The soldiers of Wu Xingguo on the city wall couldn't help but grin when they saw this scene. : This is still the army of the Liang Kingdom. They just saw the flag of the Kunyu Kingdom and were frightened to the point of peeing without even firing an arrow. It’s so embarrassing!
After complaining in my heart, I had to lament that the flags of the generals of Wu Xingguo were much more than the flags with the word "Yi", but just two or three flags with the word "Yi" representing the Kunyu Kingdom scared away tens of thousands of troops. After all, , Kun Yuguo is still awesome.
